Greg and Joseph are back from their trip to Italy and the guys talk about the craziness that is Dan Bilzerian, Chris Brown, and the latest in the world of drugs and crime. Also, they talk about how hard it is to be a hip hop artist in the 21st century and how much money it takes to live in the moment. Greg and Joseph also talk about their trip and what it's like to be an Italian-American in the 90s and talk about what it was like growing up in the 80s and 90s. They also discuss the recent arrest of Chris Brown and how he's been treated by the police and how to deal with the new laws that are being put in place in order to combat the rise in drugs and violence in the streets of LA and other cities across the country. We also discuss how to survive in the fast food joints and the new law that's being passed that is being passed to make it easier for people to get into the game.

00:00:30.000I'll just say, I saw a guy walking down the street, my sister pointed out, they're so fucking animated over there.
00:00:38.000You see, Italian-Americans are kind of animated.
00:00:41.000Italian-Italians, the guy's walking down the street on his cell phone, and I don't know what he's saying, and he's getting so animated, he stops, puts his briefcase down so he can pinch his fingers together and wave his hand up and down.
00:01:04.000There's an Italian version of Dan Bilzerian.
00:01:07.000So you got Dan Bilzerian, who's this super wealthy poker player, gambler character, international playboy type dude, worth fucking hundreds of millions of dollars, and just every picture is him in a jet and him getting blown by 50 chicks, you know?
00:01:22.000Well, there's this guy in Italy, and all he does is take videos of him and his super hot fiancee dancing.
00:01:29.000And apparently he's this huge celebrity in Italy, and he's an older guy.
00:02:01.000He's got a gang of them on his page, but one of them sort of caught fire on the internet, and people started paying attention to it, and then it became this big thing.
00:03:17.000Yeah, sometimes I see rappers and they've got the yacht and they've got all that and then they've got this dour face painted on where you look like, dude, do you realize you're on the roof of a fucking, you know, yacht and you've got beautiful women standing around you and there's music?
00:03:32.000Why don't you get involved a little bit?
00:03:59.000Yeah, and they didn't have a warrant, but they were surrounding his house, and there was helicopter footage of it, so they're showing it on the news.
00:04:07.000Helicopters circling Chris Brown's house, cops all down the driveway.
00:04:10.000He lives on a cul-de-sac, so there's all these cops all lined up down the street.
00:04:23.000It's just him, and apparently some girl, he might have had some friends at home with him, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it was just him, and he said they were at some party or something like that, and the girl said he pulled a gun on him.
00:04:53.000And one of his friends grabbed her phone and tried to say, like, I'm not going to give it back to you to sign an NDA. And then she said she wouldn't do it, snatched her phone and ran out.
00:05:01.000This was according to her, though, too.
00:08:30.000It was on, you know, whatever it was, whatever, LiveLeak, who knows what the fuck it was on, but somebody decided they own that video, and it's got more than 20 million hits now.
00:11:01.000It's like if he's a brilliant comedian, just a brilliant Andy Kaufman times 100, and he's committed to this character, and he's literally gone out and peed on girls on video just for this character, he's delivering it in the most subtle of parodies.
00:14:02.000Well, there's a lot of stuff you could treat like that if you just studied it as a scientist, right?
00:14:08.000Wouldn't you want to get involved with rodeo culture?
00:14:11.000Tell me you wouldn't want to be around the people that are ultra-rodeo people that love rodeo and you'd hang out with them and be with them every day for a couple months, like Louis Theroux style.
00:14:24.000Yeah, like Louis Theroux, when he does these documentaries, he goes to a place.
00:14:27.000He went to Africa for three months and hung out in a hunting camp and hung out with these people until he annoyed them to the point where they got mad at him and gave him some good footage.
00:15:13.000Well, what about the ultra-rich going to a country club in West Palm Beach that has no black members and it's all like, you know, Fortune 500 CEOs and old fucking money, just blue blood dripping out of them.
00:16:12.000When Obama plays golf, does he play golf for that long?
00:16:15.000No, because they'll clear the course for him, and then they have four caddies, who are guys that stand up about 100 yards ahead of you, and they spot your ball.
00:16:24.000So by the time you drive up in the cart, he's already got the ball, and he's running ahead.
00:16:29.000And so they probably get around in about two and a half hours.
00:16:51.000I've never even heard of such a thing.
00:16:53.000Yeah, it's like, you know, time conservation, bush style.
00:16:56.000Well, that was one of the only big benefits of golf, is that you had to walk the course.
00:17:00.000And the course is a lot of exercise, and you got your exercise in.
00:17:03.000And people are like, eh, not really into that part of it.
00:17:07.000Deals are being made back in the cart.
00:17:09.000I just want a cart that's hooked up with a stereo and a cooler.
00:17:13.000Yeah, I'm Rodney Dangerfield on this shit.
00:17:16.000How drunk are you allowed to get on a golf course?
00:17:18.000Well, you know, I play golf and I play a lot of these celebrity tournaments, which is like, you know, they'll have 18 groups that are going out and then each one gets a comedian added into the group just to fuck around and, you know, entertain.
00:17:31.000I don't know if you're entertaining, but, you know, they just like to meet somebody.
00:17:34.000And they have these cart bars that go around with the fucking hottest chicks you've ever seen in bikini tops.
00:17:41.000And they pull up with hard liquor, beer, everything.
00:21:50.000But I couldn't believe they were letting him go, you know?
00:21:53.000There was a bunch of people around and people were getting upset because him and the guy were throwing water at each other and they were almost getting people.
00:22:00.000So there was like this air of tension in the air and then the valet came and the guy got in his car and we were like, wow, should we stop that?
00:22:06.000You know, should we stop that guy from getting in a car?
00:23:23.000See, I haven't had it fully explained to me because I've read it both ways.
00:23:28.000I've read that there was some sort of a genetic propensity towards alcoholism that they had because the fact that alcohol was not normal to them.
00:23:36.000It wasn't something they had in their diet all the time, so they didn't have the enzymes or whatever it was to break it down.
00:26:46.000And I don't know what this means, but I'm just going to say it.
00:26:49.000The statistics are, like, people would think that cops are more violent and they shoot more black people than white people, like per capita or percentage or whatever it is.
00:28:09.000Yeah, but I feel like we're all on this heightened sense of like conflict because we're looking at the conflicts between Millions of fucking people and we're an individual and we're taking in these numbers these interactions million literally millions of people interacting with police officers every day It's way too much for our fucking brains,
00:29:01.000The Post began its police shootings project in response to the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, a death that triggered days of rioting, the assassination of two New York City police officers, and a surge of support for the Black Lives Matter protest movement.
00:29:18.000As of January 15th, the Post had documented 987 victims of fatal police shootings in 2015, about twice the number historically recorded by federal agencies.
00:29:29.000Whites were 50% of those victims and blacks were 26%.
00:29:33.000By comparison, whites are 62% of the US population and blacks are 13%.
00:29:38.000The ensuing debate is largely centered on whether the disproportionate number of black deaths was a result of police racism or the relatively high rate of crime in black neighborhoods, which brings black men into more frequent and more fraught encounters with the police.
00:29:54.000So it seems to me, just looking at those numbers right there, that it says whites were 50% of those victims and blacks were 26%.
00:30:05.000Well, that's just, right away, there's way more white people than there are black people.
00:30:56.000That's interesting because that, you know, I mean, you can blame it on the neighborhood, you can blame it on crime-ridden communities, but if we're just going to go statistics to statistic, well, then they're right.
00:31:06.000More black people are getting shot by cops.
00:33:13.000It would feel really fucking cool to hold some steel.
00:33:15.000And I'd have a safe, and I'd put it in the safe.
00:33:18.000And then it would feel good to know that if shit got really bad, that I'd be able to go out and kill the people that have the food and the water.
00:35:37.000Don't put the I over the L. Is there an I over an L? No, like, the dot should be above the stem of the I, but it's always at the letter next to it.
00:38:30.000One of the ways to keep us from understanding each other was to give us so many different languages that we couldn't communicate with each other.
00:38:46.000A united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking in a single language and migrating from the East, came to the land...
00:40:10.000And you know they have to speak three other languages because they got England next to them, they got France next to them, they got Germany.
00:40:36.000Flemish, also called Flemish Dutch, Belgium Dutch, and or Southern Dutch, refers to the varieties of the Dutch language spoken in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium.
00:40:47.000The term Flemish is used at least five ways.
00:40:50.000It seems like it's all in Belgium, man.
00:43:25.000There's this one episode of the show that I watched called Jim Shockey's Uncharted.
00:43:30.000He's this guy who goes to all these different parts of the world and he's a professional hunter and he goes to these places and sometimes they eradicate like dangerous animals that are threatening villages.
00:43:41.000And one of the episodes he went to this village, I don't remember what part of the Congo it was, but they have these giant saltwater crocodiles that eat people.
00:43:52.000And while they were there, a woman got ate.
00:45:59.000There's an incredible documentary called Relentless Enemies and it's about this one particular pride of lions that lives on an island in Africa where the rivers changed its course And it's stranded these islands from the rest of Africa.
00:46:20.000These lions can't get out of this island.
00:46:22.000And all they have to eat on this island are these giant fucking buffaloes.
00:47:21.000See if you get some photos of the individual lions, like, so you get, well, there's a good, good photo of it, but just look up relentless enemies.
00:49:49.000And this is not something to freak out about, but just to put it in perspective, there's been so many fucking times...
00:49:56.000Where something's happened, whether it's some gigantic event, like a super volcano, or diseases, or just giant chunks of the population just died.
00:50:09.000Yeah, I mean, there's theories about it, that there's population control of stuff that's built in, and it can manifest itself as disease, natural disasters, or war.
00:50:55.000I mean, you think about people that work long hours.
00:50:56.000When you're a scientist that's trying to break the code on a fucking vaccine, that could be, you know, like with Ebola when they were trying to figure something out.
00:52:17.000It seems like that guy's stabbing him while he's there, right?
00:52:19.000Yeah, that looks like a Game of Thrones killing.
00:52:22.000I remember it was on Tosh.0 at one point, because they made a whole bit about Gaddafi-ing people, and there's a guy shoving a knife up his ass or something like that.
00:52:44.000This is the one where they finally capture him, and they're holding up their cameras, and this is all, like, captured live.
00:52:52.000I mean, they have him when they have him, and he's freaking the fuck out, and they're pulling his hair and beating the shit out of him, and kicking him, and then when he gets up, someone sticks a sword, like one of those waist swords, little short swords, like, right up his ass.
00:53:55.000It's fucked up that we like, that this appeals to us.
00:53:58.000Like, if they captured him the way they captured Noriega, or the way they captured anybody else, and they brought him to trial in America and then put him in prison, would you feel any better?
00:54:18.000And I don't believe in the death penalty, but in terms of how do I feel, like, consciously I don't believe in the death penalty because I think it's flawed.
00:54:26.000I think the system that would execute somebody isn't perfect.
00:54:30.000But in a case like this where you know, I think that if he's being killed by the people that he's been subjugating, there's something very poetic about that.
00:54:38.000I think there's a real problem with cases.
00:54:41.000You know whether it's a murder case or whether it's any any kind of a case even like armed robbery a lot of there's There's a real problem when people are competing against each other, is what I'm trying to get to.
00:54:54.000When you have a defense team that's competing against a prosecution team, and they're trying to win.
00:54:59.000You see it all the time in business, where things are inflated, and these crazy arguments get made.
00:55:06.000They're trying to build up their side.
00:55:07.000They're not trying to be as objective as possible.
00:55:10.000They're not trying to go into it and say, Well, you know, as cops, we probably could have done a little bit better.
00:55:15.000We probably could have been friendly as we walked up to them, and maybe they wouldn't have gotten defensive, and maybe we could have shaken hands and gone about our day and our lives, and our paths would have gone a different way.
00:56:26.000And the guys in Texas that put people to the death penalty, and that's like, they're at a bar that night having a champagne celebrating that he won his case.
00:56:34.000And he sent the guy to the gas chamber.
00:58:06.000They're supposed to be on the ground, interacting with people, making connections, getting people to trust them, getting people to, like, follow their lead.
00:58:15.000You know, like, I read about this one LAPD guy, and he started a...
00:58:22.000And nobody would join because the community was so opposed to the cops that literally they were like, we got uniforms, we got helmets, we got fields, we got coaches.
00:58:36.000And then this one guy started, he was a former player, cop now, and he reached out and slowly got one kid, two kids, finally got up to 11 kids, started training them, got to know the parents.
00:58:48.000The other cops were helping out training, got to know the parents, and it opened up this whole community.
00:58:55.000It changed the kids in South Central somewhere, and the whole neighborhood has great relations with the cops now.
00:59:21.000Well, Obama just released 111 prisoners, and I think that the message that he's sending is like, we've got to get over this police state mentality.
00:59:30.000I hope that's the message he's sending.
00:59:32.000He released one guy that I had retweeted a petition to release him like a year ago.
01:00:25.000That doesn't make sense with the Grateful Dead thing, unless somehow or another they think of selling drugs, they find some sneaky way to categorize that as violence.
01:00:33.000Yeah, maybe if it's a, what do they call it, level one drug, or acid's probably like the highest level drug, so maybe that's a felony, whereas pot would be a misdemeanor.
01:02:46.000Following analogy, on a molecular level, the power of LSD is equivalent to a fire ant that can completely tear down the Empire State Building in under 30 minutes.
01:03:39.000And he went riding home on his bike, tripping his balls off, thinking about the world in a whole new way, looking at life in a whole different way, and going, wow.
01:04:25.000And then he went to Berkeley and worked as a professor for a short period of time just to get enough money to implement his manifesto, to move into that cabin in the woods and start killing people who are creating technology.
01:08:06.000I mean, it doesn't seem like her nature to sue, but at the same time, the insurance company might make her.
01:08:11.000Because once you get medical bills, your insurance company immediately goes, well, we're not paying these, you've got to sue the other person.
01:10:22.000If you're one of the eight people working in an hour or whatever during your shift, however they do it, and you're at the hot table and your table makes 25,000 in tips...
01:10:30.000Just because you circumstantially were there, just because of the schedule, the routine, just the shift cycle, now you made a year's money and everybody else you're working with got zero.
01:10:39.000They're all going to be pissed at you.
01:12:10.000I talked about this yesterday, but Neil deGrasse Tyson had this great Twitter quote that said, there should be an option in this presidential election for, and all presidential elections, I think he said, for none of the above.
01:12:22.000And then if none of the above wins, we have to start all over again with new people.
01:16:51.000And we almost want to pretend that people like that, like these crazy, fiery people that get everybody rallied up, that there's not other things that go with that package.
01:17:36.000I mean, it's just the whole thing's crazy in the first place that he has this compulsion to just chat with girls online like that and send dick pictures and stuff.
01:18:24.000It's like, how passionate do you allow yourself to be?
01:18:26.000Because there's a loss of control that goes with getting that passionate.
01:18:31.000And when you go for it, that's when you end up, you know, maybe having an affair or maybe killing somebody because you're just fucking letting your id run wild.
01:18:40.000But that's where sometimes great creativity comes from.
01:18:43.000Which is why you get so many great artists and directors that end up, you know, Woody Allen fucking his daughter and, you know, Roman Polanski.
01:18:51.000You know, you just think of all the truly creative people.
01:18:53.000They do fucked up things because they're just putting themselves out there.
01:18:56.000Well, also because a lot of what makes them want to be whatever it is in the first place, whether it's an actor or a famous person or a singer or Kelly or any of these people, to want to be out there that much.
01:19:31.000You know, where it was like, you know, when you tell me the story about your parents chain smoking in the house while you were just locked in the winter with the windows closed and you're like a baby.
01:21:28.000I've heard people argue back and forth about the heroin thing.
01:21:30.000I had this guy, Dr. Carl Hart, on my podcast.
01:21:33.000And it was actually being discussed recently on the message board, which is why I'm bringing it up, where they were saying that he's not correct.
01:21:39.000Because he says he's actually experimented with a bunch of drugs himself.
01:22:59.000You may not be addicted, but you still didn't do the work necessary to rebuild your foundation and to not have dependency issues.
01:23:06.000So now you're at a weakened state because you've just had the flu, and you need to start going to meetings, being disciplined, you know, whatever it takes to, if it's talk therapy or exercise, whatever it is that makes you write, You need to transition into that immediately.
01:23:27.000I smoked a cigarette or two with my sister when I was like 15 and she was 14. Like we moved into this new neighborhood and hung out with the local toughs.
01:24:31.000But there's a kid who was in my neighborhood who killed somebody drunk driving, killed his best friend while we were all in high school together.
01:25:27.000Yeah, luckily I wasn't drinking that much because it was like right when I had just started to transition into getting into martial arts.
01:25:34.000And from then on, I pretty much stopped partying totally.
01:25:37.000But it coincided with this dude around the same time.
01:25:41.000I'm not sure like numbers wise I might be off by a year or two but it was around that area where I was realizing that there was a lot of us they're like doing a really irresponsible dangerous shit like driving drunk and and being drunk all the time going to these parties and having fun and I'm like this is like someone's gonna drown someone's gonna fall off a roof some shit's gonna go down yeah and then this dude I guess he hit a tree or something like that and killed his best friend Did he survive?
01:26:41.000Maybe I have it wrong, 16, 17. But it was somewhere in that range of he's a young guy who's just starting to drive, and now all of a sudden his friend's dead, and he's got that mark on him for the rest of his life.
01:27:31.000You know, when he was sober, he was the greatest guy in the world, loved hanging out with him, and he'd get drunk and he'd try to fight me.
01:27:59.000And it was like the town still, it's like his family is so intertwined in my town that it was like a, they're almost like a political party.
01:30:50.000And we would go camping with this dude, and he would be outside in Maine, and it was like zero degrees out, and he'd be out there in his underwear, in his long underwear.
01:32:26.000You know, I had AAA and I fucking used it.
01:32:28.000I think you got three pickups a year and I just always remember going over my three-ride maximum.
01:32:34.000I'll tell you this, I do think that the character building aspects of driving in a place where your car could break down or get stuck in the snow and the ice that we experienced when we were kids, I think there's something that I really benefited from that.
01:32:53.000Like, and understanding, like, okay, if you drive out there tonight, there's fucking four inches of snow on the ground, they haven't done any plowing, you're gonna run into some black ice too, because you know it was raining before it was snowing, before it got cold enough to snow.
01:35:57.000They realized that they can make money just by setting up these comedy nights in these bars.
01:36:02.000And so we would travel all over New England doing these things.
01:36:07.000But some of those gigs, like the Bangor one, would take you to these places where if you weren't a comedian, what are the odds you're just going to go drive up there one day?
01:36:15.000You're going to leave Boston and take a three and a half hour drive up through the wilderness on these little tiny ass roads in January.
01:36:26.000We had a map and a prayer, you know, and it was like, you know, you never knew if you booked the gig, if it was more than three months out, there was a 50% chance the gig was canceled.
01:36:37.000I never booked anything that far out, I don't think.
01:39:11.000We have the Mexican, like, influence over here on the West Coast, which is like a little bit more laid back.
01:39:16.000Very laid back, very, like, when you hear Trump talk about criminals and shit from Mexico, I'm like, that's diametrically the opposite of how I picture Mexicans.
01:39:26.000Look, man, there's criminals everywhere, but I find that Mexican people that I meet, especially in America, down to earth, easy to hang out with, is very common.
01:43:23.000I mean, I'm not sure if it's the wrong one either.
01:43:25.000The one thing that I like about Trump becoming president is the one thing that I like is that it throws the whole fucking golf fucking food cart just...
01:43:44.000I think the GOP knew after Obama got elected twice, the GOP knew that they needed the black vote, the Latino vote, they needed to come more to the center, and they didn't.
01:45:20.000What are these, like, whoa, this side, we've done a better job of managing resources, and we're not going to pick up the slack for those brownies.
01:45:40.000I understand the impulse to do that right now.
01:45:42.000I understand if you're the person who doesn't want your house broken into or you're the rich guy who lives really close to San Diego and you're like, fuck that, keep them over there.
01:45:50.000I get the sentiment, but when you look at it, if you take yourself out of the picture and you look at the overall picture of human beings on the planet, inevitably those things are going away.
01:46:12.000Where you can take your phone and you hold it up And you can hold it up to an image that has writing on it, and it translates it on your phone.
01:48:32.000I understand that they don't want people to be able to immigrate freely all throughout Europe and come to the UK. That's where England had an issue.
01:48:39.000And I understand that some people think it's racist.
01:48:43.000But I don't know enough of it to have an opinion.
01:54:52.000Because one way things are not fair, if you live in a really shitty country, if you're really a war-torn part of the world or something like that, you're not allowed to just move anywhere you want.
01:55:39.000It's one thing that I think gets lost in this whole climate change debate.
01:55:44.000Climate change, for the record, I think is definitely real, and I think it's definitely being affected by human beings and pollution and what we're doing to the environment.
01:56:54.000There's statues from 10,000 years ago.
01:56:56.000There's shit in Turkey that they've discovered that's 3,000 years older than that.
01:57:01.000So during that time, without people doing anything, it's changed radically.
01:57:05.000So I'm not exonerating people, but I'm saying there's a real fucking stupid part of this global warming climate change issue is that it's become some sort of an ideological debate between the left and the right.
01:57:17.000The left who blame everything on people and the right who say it's all bullshit.
01:57:22.000Or some of them say it's all bullshit or offer solutions that really don't take into account the environment.
01:57:28.000The reality is this fucking planet is volatile.
01:57:47.000I think we have to be, whoever's right or whoever's wrong about global warming, we have to fucking wake up as to how much resources we have left and how quickly we burn in them.
01:57:57.000Because there was just something about China, one area of China that's dangerously close to having its oceans ecosystem completely collapse due to overfishing.
01:58:07.000They're like, yeah, because you think about what the ocean is, right?
01:58:11.000Let's turn the ocean into, instead of this gigantic mass of water, let's just have a tank the size of this room.
01:58:19.000And all these little fish in here are fucking making new fish.
01:58:22.000And then we throw in a few little tiny boats with scoopers in them.
01:58:26.000And they just scoop around and scoop fish up.
01:58:30.000And hopefully scoop fish up In enough time that gives the remaining fish time to fuck and make more fish, and then they scoop fish up, and then they scoop fish up, and they keep doing this.
01:58:41.000How long can you do that before there's no more fish?
01:58:43.000Well, it turns out it's about 50, 60 years.
01:58:46.000And where they are at right now is there's some places that are collapsing.
01:58:50.000They're like, wow, there's no more fish.
01:58:52.000Because it's not just the fish you're catching.
02:01:00.000I was looking up part of the problem with the marine life and whatnot, and I got to this article that says that they're doing land reclamation, which is also destroying what things.
02:01:08.000They're adding new islands in an area in between different countries where they already have islands, which is breaking some international water laws, which is what you guys were just talking about.
02:01:19.000The United Nations is mad at them for doing this because it sounds like it's kind of blocking off area that should be open for anybody to navigate.
02:03:50.000Whenever I see a young kid in a Ferrari driving down Beverly late at night, La Cienega, those little clubs, all I think is Dubai.
02:03:58.000This guy's got a credit card from his dad in Dubai, and he's just tearing it up, going to clubs and just fucking throwing down a credit card for endless bottles of champagne.
02:04:09.000There is one guy I saw at, there's a Beverly Hills Hotel, I forget which one it was, but I went to dinner there, and they had these cars that were from Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Arabian plates.
02:04:22.000They either fly them over here, or they ship them over here.
02:04:26.000And it's apparently the sign of like a super baller, is that you keep your Saudi Arabian license plates on your Bugatti Veyron as you drive around Beverly Hills.
02:06:12.000If you are okay with doing sexual things for money, if you can get a lot of money out of a gentleman, that's the kind of gentleman you would want to get, because that guy could give you a million dollars and he wouldn't even notice it.
02:08:46.000She's got boots and he pulls his bigotty Veyron to some Texas gas station right when she's buying worms because she's fixing to go fishing.
02:10:35.000They're, like, essentially, like, if Vegas had, like, a test, where you could test people for ecstasy, and if they failed, you wouldn't let them in the club, there'd be no one in their fucking clubs.
02:10:45.000There's a lot of drinking, for sure, but the amount of people that are going to see those crazy DJ shows that they have in Vegas and probably mollying up out of their mind, probably, Jamie, what would you ask?
02:13:08.000I was thinking the other day, what is it like to work at the National Enquirer?
02:13:13.000When you talk about blowing out massive amounts of energy on nonsense, I was at the counter, I was picking up some fruit, and I went to the supermarket, and I stopped in the line to put my stuff on, and there's this National Enquirer thing that says,
02:23:04.000Sexy Hollywood con man Darnell Riley then tried to blackmail Francis for up to $500,000 for the tape, and he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for Paris Hilton, who was also being blackmailed by Riley.
02:23:18.000She was an idiot who befriended him, and he introduced him...
02:23:22.000And introduced him to a social circle to begin with.
02:23:25.000With Paris' help, police were able to arrest Riley, who copped a plea and is currently serving eight years in prison for robbery and extortion.
02:23:32.000The irony is that he'll probably be a free man in a few years, while Francis will likely be serving a term on tax evasion charges.
02:30:05.000They just are doing it because they've blocked out this time before they get a sitcom writing job or before they go into auditioning for movies.
02:30:14.000There's just this period that they're going to do stand-up.
02:30:16.000There's a thing that drives real comics crazy, and it's that.
02:32:23.000I used to date this fella, and he had a hook-like dick, and I think he wore a hole in the wall of my vagina with his hooked dick, and that is where the blood...
02:36:16.000There's one segment where there's this girl, and she plays this demon that really loves this guy, and she's kind of hot, and she meets this guy at a bar, and she's just really strange, and they get back to an apartment, and they're all drinking, and this guy starts banging her,
02:36:33.000and she turns into this demon and kills them all.
02:39:11.000And then as they got alone together and then with all their friends and everyone's drinking, then when she turns into this demon and kills them all, it's fucking horrific because it's all seen from the first person perspective.
02:39:22.000It's all seen from this guy's eyeglasses that he's wearing.
02:43:05.000How did everybody not die from VD? You know, like, you watch Game of Thrones or any of these things, and it just reminds you of, like, back then, nobody used a condom.
02:43:28.000Al Capone spent the last year of his Alcatraz sentence, which had been reduced to six years and five months for a combination of good behavior and work credits, in the hospital section, being treated for syphilis.
02:45:27.000It certainly wasn't in the AIDS... I don't have no...
02:45:30.000Honestly, now that I'm saying this, I realize I'm totally talking out of my ass.
02:45:33.000I have no knowledge of what the actual numbers of the AIDS crisis were.
02:45:37.000I had a guy on my podcast a long time ago who is a biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and he does not believe that HIV causes AIDS. And of all the people that I've ever had on my podcast that created more people angry at me and controversy,
02:45:57.000I just wanted to talk to the guy because I don't understand the argument, and I don't understand how one person can have this point of view that all these other scientists and biologists don't have.
02:46:44.000This Dewsburg fella thought that it was a good idea to tell everybody that HIV was actually a weak virus and that it was a symptom of a deteriorated immune system rather than the cause of a deteriorated immune system.
02:46:59.000And he believed that the cause of the deteriorated immune system was a bunch of different recreational drugs that these guys would take and that there's a disproportionate amount of these men From these areas, these parts of town where they were doing a lot of drugs and having a lot of sex.
02:47:17.000Amyl nitrate and crystal meth and all this different stuff, which is apparently, amyl nitrate in particular, all that stuff is apparently devastating to your immune system.
02:47:25.000And so it was his belief that the HIV aspect of it was just a symptom of a disease.
02:47:33.000Deteriorated immune system from drugs and that they were saying that that caused it.
02:47:36.000But how the fuck can you sneak that by all these different scientists?
02:49:51.000I was in my mom's car and I went to this club, went to this nightclub and I saw the classic fucking move out of a movie, out of a John Hughes movie.
02:49:59.000I see a guy hitting on a girl and he's really annoying her.
02:53:07.000I think it made me more cautious about condoms, I'll tell you that.
02:53:10.000That, and I also bet it helped you deal with, like, the inevitable moment on stage where you say things that people don't think is funny and you have to, like, kind of have some personal sovereignty.
02:54:15.000Reading some funny shit that he had and interesting stuff and you know you do that you go on like a little Twitter timeline right thing and I ran across a it looked like a Facebook message from Larry Rapucci who when we were kids when we were starting out Larry was kind of a legendary character and In Boston,
02:54:31.000he got a full-time gig with Nick's Comedy Stop, where all he worked was Nick's Comedy Stop gigs.
02:55:46.000It's almost like if you are in some sort of a simulated reality and you wanted to do the dream of struggling but eventually becoming a professional stand-up comic, where do you want to start?
02:55:59.000I want to start out in the golden days of comedy in the 20th century.
02:56:04.000And I want to make a living out of the gate.
02:56:27.000And it was like you were given the opportunity, but then, like, you could get stage time and you could get scene, but to really work, you had to fucking command the stage.
02:59:49.000I was in Indiana once, which is where he's from, right?
02:59:52.000You would think, god damn, Indiana, John Cougar Mellencamp, it's like if Bruce Springsteen is anywhere in New Jersey, like at a sporting event, and they put a camera on Bruce Springsteen, people are going to go, the fucking boss!
03:03:47.000Which I guess you have to, if you're a woman, but realistically, you should probably be thinking of the humanity as a whole, right?
03:03:56.000You shouldn't be really focused on one gender.
03:03:58.000Just hear me out for a second if you're getting mad.
03:04:02.000If we're all completely concentrating on one specific gender, like female, the concerns only of the female, you're automatically breaking yourself off into a team.
03:04:14.000This is like those guys that are men's rights guys.
03:04:25.000It's like a Windows user who's getting mad at PC or who's getting mad at Macs.
03:04:30.000It's a weird thing that people start doing when you lock people into any sort of one or the other, like right wing versus left wing, you know, like people who are straight edge versus people who like to party.
03:04:41.000You get these locked in ideologies, and that's a big one, man.
03:04:48.000But PCs are not making less money than Macs.
03:04:52.000See, that's the thing about that whole narrative about women making less money than men.
03:04:57.000I don't know if you've ever investigated it, but I had a long conversation with a good friend of mine about it recently where he was saying it wrong, too.
03:05:04.000The reality is when they do these gender income disparity studies, They're giving you the impression that a man and a woman are working next to each other and they're doing the same job and the woman's making 77 cents to the man's dollar.
03:05:45.000The study is not that two people, like you're an accountant and she's an accountant, and you both do the exact same job, the exact same workload, and you make $100 where she makes $77.
03:06:57.000It might be still a sexist world, but that's not.
03:06:59.000Right, now you've got to factor in maternity leave, and there's things that are just, you know, going to hold a woman back from making more money because she's going to lose her place in line, basically, by taking maternity leave.
03:07:37.000Like, any woman who's a CEO is probably making some fucking ridiculous amount of money in the first place, and it's always over-exaggerated how much money they make.
03:07:44.000But wouldn't a company be ridiculous if they paid a woman less money and she's making them more money?
03:07:52.000Like, wouldn't she leave and go somewhere where she would make more money?
03:07:55.000Like, if she's that good, if she's competing with men and going right up against them.
03:08:01.000I don't have the answer, because I'm obviously just reading these statistics and reading what these people have said, but I would imagine there's some deep-seated sexism that is almost impossible to overcome.
03:08:13.000Men don't want women as bosses for the most part.
03:08:17.000But whether or not that's responsible for women making less money in the same jobs, apparently not according to the numbers.
03:08:25.000According to the numbers, a lot of it is the choosing of different paths in life as far as careers.
03:08:31.000That's why this push to get women into STEM, that's why this push to get women into technology, like tech, like Silicon Valley, there's this big disparity between men and women.
03:08:40.000But that disparity is like real similar to how it is in a lot of tech.
03:08:43.000It's like most women don't gravitate towards those jobs.
03:08:47.000But if they do, they find them, there's not that many women as opposed to men.
03:08:52.000It's much, much, I think tech, like look this up, like what is Silicon Valley?
03:09:29.000I think it allows women to visualize, you know, and that's why I think it's important that Hillary Clinton, when she's president, as much as I'm not a fan of hers, I think it will accomplish setting a new goal for women.
03:09:51.000You know, I get there's got to be some discrimination when you think about a woman that wants to get pregnant and have a family and she's going to take time off work and if you're going to have to give her maternity leave, that's going to be unproductive money that your company has to give out.
03:10:26.000She went to Reddit after that, and people were upset that she went over there after she was, they thought, running what appeared to be a frivolous lawsuit.
03:10:34.000I don't know if it was frivolous, but it lost.
03:10:38.000Look, I wouldn't want to be a chick working with a bunch of dudes.
03:10:44.000I would not want to be a woman in an office with nine other dudes that are scrapping and scraping to try to climb the corporate ladder, and I got to compete with these ass fucks, and they're all out playing golf and talking shit about my ass.
03:10:57.000He showed up at work every day with these cunts.
03:11:53.000If you put them in there, they'd hate their fucking life.
03:11:55.000How many people, if they had to do what you do, would be in hell every day?
03:11:59.000Shitting their pants, sweating, nervous, can't come up with a joke, don't think anything they have to say is interesting, can't string the words together correctly, they get on a podcast like this, we don't fucking plan a goddamn thing.
03:12:09.000We've already been going for three hours and twenty minutes.
