00:02:40.000We were doing these crazy things where you go like through these mountain ranges and you're only like 100, maybe 200 feet off the ground, really low to the ground, like turning and twisting and fucking bananas.
00:03:52.000For the censors, you know, it's called standards and practices.
00:03:55.000They'll be like, you know, they'll give back notes like, you can't, you know, show this.
00:04:00.000And so we would film what we call red herrings, like just blatantly ridiculous shit that's never going to be allowed on TV. But then we'll be like, okay, we'll cut this out.
00:04:09.000And so then we'll be able to keep some other shit.
00:06:02.000And we came out, right, like, you know, I gotta go film.
00:06:07.000And walking through the lobby, Knoxville is down there, having breakfast.
00:06:13.000This hooker comes walking by Knoxville, and she says, that's not Steve-O, that's Cheapo!
00:06:24.000I was never even that much into like hookers, but looking back on it, I guess I really fucking kind of had sex with a bunch of hookers because I had this girlfriend.
00:08:40.000There's never been another interview that I've ever done that I've gotten more feedback.
00:08:46.000People just being like, dude, I fucking heard that.
00:08:49.000People are inspired, people who are struggling with substance abuse, and they're like, man, that helped me get sober.
00:08:58.000Howard Stern like you name it any interview I've ever done in my life like it has This has been the one that I hear about the most and I get the most positive feedback Fucking grateful to you for that man.
00:09:39.000I'm pretty good about that, but I should say I'm not going to get in my head and I'm not going to trip myself out, but I did want to come in hot, so I just fucking came out with the hooker stories.
00:13:14.000Like, I just felt like for all the times that we were guests or that I was on his show, I just felt like, I don't know, is it?
00:13:29.000Yeah, I think it's fair to say I felt like maybe a little bit Talked down to in a way.
00:13:35.000I felt like sorta, like the impression that I got was that whoever booked us on the show wasn't him and that he was sort of like under protest.
00:16:04.000That's one of those things where a lot of those guys, you know, especially like if you have a platform like Howard and you feel dissed by some guy who's got another platform, like, well, fuck this guy, time to go to war.
00:16:13.000Because Howard's whole thing was about conflict.
00:16:16.000Conflict, his ratings, he was the king of ratings.
00:17:13.000No disrespect to them, but those five-minute things where you sit on the couch and you cut to the next thing, it's just a shitty way to get to know somebody.
00:17:23.000And it's gone downhill from there because all anybody gives a fuck about is what's gonna take off on the internet the next day.
00:17:44.000I was watching and I was like, and I tweeted about this, that I don't think kids today have any idea how strange it is to watch a talk show host call the president's mouth a cock holster.
00:18:37.000Well, what he said was that I thought, of all the things that I thought you were dumb about, the one thing that I thought you knew about was show business.
00:18:44.000I thought you understood show business.
00:18:52.000Okay, so now the president, and this is even weird, weirder, because now the president is responding to a guy who's essentially saying that he's a fucking troll.
00:19:01.000I mean, Stephen Colbert, multi-millionaire, talk show host on a major network, took over the Letterman spot, is now admitting that he's essentially like a guy on Twitter that has...
00:19:26.000All the stuff that Trump was saying about how they were going to take him off and they were going to...
00:19:30.000The guy Corden who came after, they were going to put James Corden into Colbert's time slot.
00:19:35.000I mean, all the reports I saw were that they were trying to get Colbert the fuck out and then all of a sudden he started slamming Trump and now he's like number one out of everybody in late night.
00:19:44.000Well, that's how it goes in that stupid fucking business.
00:19:47.000They just have to get people to pay attention to them, and sometimes that's the way to do it.
00:19:51.000I mean, maybe Colbert just got desperado, but the whole thing is so fucking strange.
00:22:09.000Like, I don't look as good as I did fucking, you know, I'm going rotten.
00:22:12.000Well, what's really weird is when you watch, do you watch videos of yourself from, like, a long time ago and you see how different you look?
00:22:18.000Yes, but I think of a lot of people, I look pretty fucking...
00:22:25.000I look less different than other people.
00:22:26.000Now, I get super sensitive about, like, you know, if I post a picture online, it's like, motherfucker's old, you know, like, you know, I like that shit effect.
00:23:12.000She went to my high school in London, England.
00:23:13.000Dude, she was so hot when she was young, and now she's got that alcoholic face, where people don't just get older, but everything sort of balloons, and your cheeks balloon,
00:30:04.000The most tame picture I saw on a pack of cigarettes was a picture of a toilet with blood in the water.
00:30:14.000And I forget what the point was on that one, but cigarettes make your asshole bleed.
00:30:20.000Isn't it crazy that that doesn't even work?
00:30:22.000Like, you're selling someone something that you're showing them all the terrible shit that it could do, and everybody's like, yeah, worth it.
00:31:27.000I took every measure to try to limit the fucking air that went into my lungs to try to make it all nitrous oxide.
00:31:38.000The whole time I'm holding in a lung full of that shit and I'm just with my fucking canister from Starbucks and shit.
00:31:46.000I was like a fucking wizard at loading up six into it while holding the last fucking ones.
00:31:53.000And that was when all the crazy shit would go down, because I would be awake on cocaine for three days and inhaling nothing but nitrous oxide.
00:32:01.000And at that point is when shit starts popping off and people are walking around my apartment who are never physically there.
00:32:11.000So you're just seeing a bunch of shit.
00:32:12.000Oh dude, like actual fucking people, man.
00:32:15.000I watched a dude walk through my apartment and fucking pick up my bong and take a hit and blow out smoke and fucking then like put it down and the dude walked through the wall.
00:32:37.000Because here's my whole thing, and I kind of still believe this to this day, is, you know, that our little three-dimensional experience is a very small part of what's going on in the universe, right?
00:33:08.000And to an extent, I fucking believe, still, that that shit was real.
00:33:13.000These spirits that were fucking talking to me, I'm hearing the voices.
00:33:16.000I had a conversation with a friend of mine who sells weed about a very similar thing, where I was saying that I think that something happens when you smoke pot.
00:33:26.000It's not just that you get high, but that the way you interface with the world changes, and then the world changes because of that.
00:33:34.000Not the world changes like the world changes for you or for him, but the world that I'm experiencing is different.
00:33:39.000Yeah, like in the quantum physics kind of sense.
00:33:44.000But what I'm saying is that my feeling about the world is that when you change the way your brain works, which is essentially what you do when you get really high, and you change the way you think about the world, I think the world that you experience is different.
00:35:30.000Like, I think the introspective aspect of it, one of the reasons why it comes up, it feels like to me, is because there's a bunch of shit about yourself that you don't like, but you don't address.
00:35:39.000And so then it forces you, hey, in order to truly live in the moment, you have to be balanced.
00:35:45.000You have to be like, I've looked at it all, and I understand I've made mistakes, and here's where I'm at.
00:35:50.000But if you've never looked at yourself, if you've never looked at those mistakes, then you have like this backlog of shit you have to deal with.
00:36:09.000But I feel like that morbid flogging of yourself comes from you, like the debt analogy is a good analogy, because if you're in like massive debt and you go to spend money, you're like, I don't even have any money, how am I spending this money?
00:36:21.000Whereas if you're even and you go to spend the money, you're like, no big deal.
00:36:27.000I think that when you don't have an accounting of who you are and what you've done, and especially I think the big one is your effect on other people.
00:36:35.000You know, that's the one that comes up with me on mushrooms or on pot, especially on edibles.
00:36:40.000It's like how I've interacted with other people.
00:36:42.000And even if I thought it was justified, and maybe I was justified, when it comes up on pot, especially on edibles.
00:36:50.000For me, at least, that's where I feel like the most accountable.
00:36:54.000And I have to think about my behavior the most.
00:36:57.000I always feel like, with the edible thing, it always feels like, could I have done better?
00:37:02.000Instead of just being like, was I okay?
00:37:04.000Like, yeah, that guy was being a dick to you.
00:37:09.000Maybe I could have caught on earlier to how he was feeling and reassessed how I was communicating with him, and instead of being defensive or aggressive, maybe I could have handled it better.
00:37:22.000Well, hey man, sounds like you're working a great spiritual program with your edibles.
00:37:29.000I try to do it all the time, but when I'm with edibles, like I've said this before and people go, oh no, but I think pot makes you a better person.
00:39:01.000Al Madrigal, I'll set this up so he doesn't have to, so he doesn't have to be uncomfortable.
00:39:04.000Al Madrigal when he was here was talking about he gets mad at guys like Steve-O because Steve-O is a guy who kind of came to stand up after he did other things.
00:39:16.000And Al's like, I don't want the thing that is like what I feel is like my chosen thing in life, the most amazing thing in life to me, to be something that someone comes to as a last resort.
00:39:26.000But Al even thinks it's stupid that he thinks like that.
00:39:29.000So when he said it, Steve-O was kind of bummed out, so Steve-O texted me about it, and Steve-O and I talked.
00:39:36.000We were supposed to do a podcast anyway, so there was this question of whether or not we should talk about it when it came to the actual show itself.
00:39:45.000But my feeling on all that stuff is that whoever does stand-up does stand-up.
00:41:46.000I was just really wasted, and I had this shady manager, and he was really wasted too, and he was talking to this person who appeared to be a hot chick, right?
00:41:55.000Appeared to be a hot chick, and I was like, hmm, this is...
00:41:58.000And so I kind of started talking to this person who appeared to be a hot chick and wooed the person away from the shady manager.
00:42:06.000And I was feeling really good about it, you know?
00:42:08.000Turns out, in hindsight, that had we not been so intoxicated, it was rather evident.
00:42:15.000But we were really intoxicated, so we were walking away from the 930 Club.
00:42:20.000If that was it, it was Safari or 930, one of the two.
00:42:23.000I don't think they have Safari anymore.
00:42:24.000But walking down the street, going to the next place, Someone pulls me aside, you know, a friend pulls me aside and says, hey, just want you to know that person you're talking to, was it like not a girl,
00:42:40.000but it wasn't, like, they didn't see it, say, that person is a hermaphrodite, was what it was described as a hermaphrodite, meaning, you know, like both women and...
00:42:55.000And they described that the person had had a surgical operation to remove the male parts.
00:43:17.000Like, I really had this sense, you know, I came back to the hotel and...
00:43:23.000And the sense that I got, and this is a pretty fucking outrageous take on it, was that here was this person who was kind of, I don't know, damage is a mean word, but this person wanted to be loved,
00:44:31.000And I'm not a doctor, so I probably shouldn't say that.
00:44:35.000But Dr. Drew's been wrong about pot, and he's not a pot smoker.
00:44:39.000I love Dr. Drew almost more than anybody, but the first chink in his armor happened when I asked him, Dr. Drew, why is jerking off so much more pleasurable if you tickle your balls while you're doing it?
00:44:56.000And he said, I didn't know that was the case.
00:46:39.000She blacked out, hit her head, had brain trauma that Bill Clinton talked about publicly.
00:46:44.000Bill Clinton talked about how she was in recovery for six months from brain trauma, from having a seizure, falling down, and smashing her head off the ground.
00:46:54.000When you're 67 years old, or however old she was when that happened, that's really dangerous.
00:48:15.000And I thought about it for a while, and then I had to text him like, hey, so what were you going to do if it turned out that you did have the gene?
00:48:20.000And he's like, oh, I didn't have a plan.
00:48:23.000So then I ask myself, do I want to go get that test?
00:48:25.000Because what happens if it turns out that you do have the gene and there's nothing to do about it?
00:48:44.000Yeah, but this, I mean, really, you need medical science to figure out, like, they have to figure out, I mean, there has to be, like, some pretty legitimate studies, and those studies take a long time, because you have to follow people with Alzheimer's, you gotta try one way with one group, and another way with another group, and see, like, what the,
00:49:00.000you know, which group has more progress, but the bottom line is, Anytime you're getting hit in the head, it's fucking bad.
00:49:21.000It shakes your fucking brain inside your head.
00:49:24.000And I'm only thinking of times when I got hit in the head hard enough that I actually lost time, you know, where like a time traveled because I blacked out.
00:50:02.000And, uh, so we walked kind of through what it was, and, like, I'm gonna do a backflip off the top rope, and he was gonna do this, and we're gonna knock me over, you know?
00:50:10.000And it was pretty incredible how they just very loosely, like, walked through it.
00:50:16.000But we know what the moves are, and we know what's supposed to be the final move.
00:50:19.000What I did not know And this proved to be really bad, is that I did not know that the match is not fucking over until you actually play dead.
00:50:30.000So at the end, when he was supposed to...
00:50:34.000There was some fucking pretty major hit, like, to my head or to my chest, whatever it was, I can't remember, but the final hit, like, when we were doing it live, he was hitting so much fucking harder.
00:51:59.000I went back and worked my way in with my video camera trying to get him to fucking choke me unconscious like Tim Kennedy did.
00:52:09.000I wanted to film that for a thing and he was totally down but then they got hip to what I was doing and all the WWE brass kind of got me kicked out.
00:55:40.000Testosterone being low is a big issue with football players, ex-fighters.
00:55:44.000Your pituitary gland is very sensitive, and that's one of the things that happens to people literally just from jet skiing, like I was saying.
00:55:50.000Skiing in general, like jumping, ski jumps and stuff like that, even without even getting hit in the head, just anything that causes your head to shake around a lot.
00:56:00.000Like, I'm sure headbanging, like the guys from ACDC. I went to the fucking chiropractor.
00:56:06.000I've been to the chiropractors, and, you know, I'll go to the chiropractor, and they're familiar with jackass and the shit I've done.
00:56:10.000And they'll take my x-ray to look at my spine, and they're like, dude, I don't understand it.
00:56:20.000You're in so much better shape than I expected you would be in, except for in my neck, where I've got the, what do they call it, the callus, or not callus, I don't know, some kind of fucking buildup.
00:57:19.000Go to this fucking physician to the stars, and she's shining a light down my throat, and she says, hmm, The opening at the back of your throat is very narrow.
00:57:30.000Do you ever find that you sleep a full night's sleep, but you wake up and you're still tired?
00:57:36.000I was like, Jesus Christ, that's exactly fucking me.
00:58:04.000It fits only on the bottom, and what it does is it's a tongue depressor, and it presses down your tongue, keeps your tongue from sliding back and covering your air hole.
00:58:11.000I have a buddy of mine that fixed everything.
00:58:47.000I tried it for a while, and I was able to fall asleep, but then about an hour or two into it, the fucking thing just blowing me away and wakes me up, and I just couldn't fucking do it.
01:00:07.000Avocados is interesting because it's a combination of saturated fat and unsaturated fat.
01:00:12.000And most people assume that saturated fat is bad for you, but it's not.
01:00:16.000A lot of that came out of the sugar industry that your fucking dad was probably a part of.
01:00:21.000The sugar industry paid off, and this was from the New York Times and a bunch of really reputable newspapers reported on this really recently.
01:00:29.000The sugar industry paid off scientists to lie about the effects of saturated fats to cover up the effects of sugar.
01:00:37.000It's really sad because so many people to this day run around worrying about saturated fat and not worrying about sugar because they're worried about saturated fat in their diet and that's what made people switch over to shit like margarine, which is terrible for you.
01:00:50.000They don't even recommend margarine anymore.
01:00:51.000That's how trans fats got introduced into people's diets.
01:00:54.000Dude, they're trying to make them illegal, and they've made them illegal in America, but they still have another year or so where you're allowed to sell it, which is hilarious.
01:01:02.000They give these companies an extra year or two to get rid of all the bullshit that they made so that they can still fuck people over for 12 months and make money.
01:01:13.000They knew that that stuff was bad for you decades ago, and they've been like, la, la, la, la, not listening.
01:01:19.000Dude, I'm dying to tell you this story about my dad.
01:03:13.000I was 13. And so I go fucking running to my room, right?
01:03:16.000Right away, I'm thinking, I know all the guys, and I know their real names, like Vince Neil.
01:03:21.000is vincent wharton right like i know all their names and i'm like i'm gonna fucking check into the the hotel as like frank carlton ferrano right that's nikki six they're not gonna use their real names and i was like they're gonna check into the hotel under the name of their manager right and i just guess you just knew it go right into my room and i fucking check on my little cassette album sleeves I check everyone,
01:03:45.000it says Doc McGee, which is their manager at Doc McGee.
01:06:33.000Yeah, and you know, I'm standing next to these guys, and I'm like, I don't have fucking shit to talk to them about, but the fact that I was standing next to those guys, and I was like, you know what?
01:06:43.000I'm here backstage with my fucking heroes, and it's because I fucking decided so, you know?
01:06:56.000All these years later, when they announced that they were back together and going on their Carnival of Sins tour, Tommy Lee asked me to do something fucked up and introduce them, dude.
01:07:44.000It really made me into a monster in some regard because, like, I think that at that young age, it's like, you know, I really can fucking, you know, if you just...
01:07:54.000And I've always said, like, it doesn't matter what people want.
01:07:57.000It just matters how bad they really fucking want it.
01:08:29.000And now, like with fucking stand-up, and I really want to, you brought up Allomagic, I'm only going to say this quickly, and I want to be careful not to lynch the guy, because, you know, I don't want everyone to say, oh, fuck that guy.
01:08:42.000From everything I understand, he's hilarious.
01:08:46.000He's a great guy, he's hilarious, and you should absolutely check out his comedy special on Showtime, which is called Shrimpin' Ain't Easy.
01:08:52.000To decide for yourself, is this guy fucking funny?
01:09:46.000But I never got, like, really hardcore, like, in earnest until 2000. Sorry, 2010. Now, 2012, 2013, I'm at a point where I'm super comfortable in my 45 minutes, right?
01:09:59.000Like, whatever my hour is at that point.
01:10:02.000Like, I'm just really comfortable in it.
01:10:04.000And I'm starting to feel, like, stale.
01:10:06.000Because I'm fucking going through the motions and the shit.
01:10:10.000Like, you know what that's like, right?
01:10:12.000You get to a point where you're just like, fuck, I'm dying because I'm not, you know...
01:11:19.000You know, like I was trying some new material and thanks for, you know, and I diligently recorded the fucking set to play it back and hear where the laughs were.
01:11:27.000You know like I wrote my own shit I went there and I fucking did new shit and I worked it out and I recorded it and You know that's how you do it, right?
01:11:35.000Well when I get off the stage And I'm thrilled because the fucking people left, you know, and I sit in the crowd I sit in the crowd the host brings up the next comic the next comic is all magical He walks out he goes Oh my God, what did we just see?
01:11:50.000We just saw Steve-O working on new material.
01:12:04.000I just can't believe that, you know, that...
01:12:08.000This thing that I consider my calling in life, stand-up comedy, that I care about it so much, and now we have Steve-O and Dustin Diamond out here doing this thing.
01:12:22.000He's like, I can't believe that these people are taking something that's so sacred to me and just using it as their last resort.
01:12:30.000And I'm sitting right there watching him say this shit.
01:13:08.000But what I perceived was that here's a guy who's claiming that his whole passion is stand-up comedy, but his whole attack on me and then berating the woman, there weren't any jokes.
01:13:18.000It was almost like he just forewent the act of performing comedy to just kind of be mean to me.
01:13:24.000Because he was upset that you were doing stand-up.
01:13:26.000He was upset that I was doing stand-up and whatever.
01:13:30.000But then after his set, he went in and started telling jokes after that.
01:13:34.000But after his set, he comes over to the sound booth and I'm sitting right next to the sound booth.
01:13:39.000And he comes over and says something to the sound guy and kind of awkwardly notices I'm sitting right there.
01:13:44.000And then he comes over and he leans over the table and he says, just so you know, what you're doing isn't taken lightly.
01:13:51.000Like face to face, I felt like he totally insulted me.
01:13:54.000Just so you know, what you're doing isn't taken lightly.
01:13:58.000Like, I don't even know what it meant, but it was clear that the sentiment was like, and I meant everything I said.
01:14:04.000You know, I felt like he came and insulted me to my face on top of that.
01:14:08.000And I was just, I was pretty bent out of shape about it.
01:14:11.000But I didn't like say anything or, you know, And I certainly wouldn't have come here to talk about that, like, at all, except, what was it?
01:16:37.000And I think that what particularly fucking got me hot about that was that the time that he chose to attack me was when I was really working the craft of fucking comedy, writing my own material,
01:16:52.000going out there, getting outside of my comfort zone.
01:16:55.000Doing fucking new shit, diligently recording it, fucking like, that's the craft!
01:16:59.000Doing actual stand-up, yeah, that's the craft.
01:17:00.000That's the fucking craft, and it was just a fucking shitty time to do that.
01:17:03.000Well, he really does care about stand-up comedy, but I think because of that, caring, sometimes it blinds you, you know?
01:17:10.000And I'm very sensitive to it because I experienced it a lot when I was first starting out, where people didn't think that I fit into the mold of what they thought a stand-up should be.
01:19:45.000I know he's a polarizing figure, but when I got into stand-up in earnest, because back in 2006, I was like, man, I really like this, you know?
01:21:01.000But I had every reason to go to a comedy club, so that became my go-to thing at night.
01:21:06.000If I'm going out with a girl, it's like a thing.
01:21:09.000I got a reason to be there, and I go to the comedy club.
01:21:12.000And so I'm sitting in the comedy club in my early sobriety, and we're looking at the stage, thinking, motherfucker, I should be on that stage.
01:21:18.000I should be on that stage, but I was, like, scared, you know?
01:21:20.000And then, as the press machine was, it wasn't even, like, the first thing I even did ostensibly to promote Jackass 3D was this young Hollywood interview, and they said, oh, Dane Cook's in there.
01:21:34.000So I walk into Dane Cook's interview, and, uh, I meet him and I'm like, hey dude, I've dabbled in stand-up and I want to get serious about it.
01:25:15.000At one point, I was sort of house-sitting for this chick, and I humped a...
01:25:24.000A strange chick in her bed and tied the rubber in a knot, which I would do, you know, and tied the rubber in a knot and threw it on the floor.
01:25:31.000Her fucking dog ate the rubber, right?
01:26:14.000That would be really funny, but I got it in my head, I'm going to swallow a condom, but then I was like, okay, cool, when I'm on tour in Europe, I'll fucking put weed in the condom, tie it in a knot, and it'll be like a skit where I film it's an international drug smuggler skit.
01:26:28.000I'll do it in one country, and I'll fly it to the other country and shit it out.
01:28:02.000I'm sure it probably is, but what I'm so excited about my next comedy special is that so many of the stories I tell in my stand-up are things that happened on camera originally.
01:28:12.000So I'm editing into the fucking actual stand-up Kind of like you do with the podcast, like supporting archival footage, which just demonstrates that everything is not only truthful, it's not even embellished.
01:30:00.000Then I realized, okay, because filming Wild Boys, I would freak the fuck out whenever we went to the Far East, because you know you're not going to be able to find weed, and that's not okay.
01:30:14.000I went to anywhere where I wasn't confident I would be able to get weed.
01:30:18.000I sat there with my, before going to the airport, I sat there with my fucking weed grinder and just grind it up like a ton and then fucking compacted it so, you know, I broke the buds off the stems, you know?
01:30:31.000And then I would fill up I'd put about like an eighth in each condom, whatever, nice and small, pack it up, and I would swallow like six of them, you know?
01:32:00.000Well, there's no mistaking the fact that somehow or another that what she was doing with her life, whether or not you could say that it was the drugs or the state of mind that she was in when she was taking the drugs, she produced some fucking amazing music, man.
01:33:24.000He said it was his jet and that's when he got busted?
01:33:26.000He said he was flying on a private jet and someone was actually on a commercial flight with him and took a picture of him because they saw it on Instagram.
01:33:49.000Well, the Bow Wow thing is indicative of an entire culture that's just all about showing off your flashy shit and showing that, you know, we're ballin' here, we're ballin'.
01:34:01.000Right, and I was watching a fucking documentary, a Vice documentary on YouTube about Bay Area hip-hop, and the whole thing is they're talking about how it's such a fucking travesty that all the tech money came in and the area got gentrified, and the whole thing is they're like,
01:34:18.000Our land got gentrified and the rap artists talk about it, but they're like, and I got millions.
01:36:40.000Yeah, San Francisco is a weird place now, because the money that you have to spend to buy a house there is so crazy that it doesn't even make sense anymore.
01:38:40.000Sometimes yeah, and sometimes I'm just filming for whatever YouTube, you know.
01:38:45.000Now you did your Showtime special, that was what, a year and a half ago or so?
01:38:48.000Yeah, it was the end of 2015 and then it aired in March of 2016. Yeah, because I remember you getting in touch with me saying you need someone to choke you out in Texas.
01:39:32.000Like I said, man, I'm working on doing a comedy special where I edit in archival footage, which sort of makes it a docu-comedy special, which I love.
01:39:43.000Are people born that have a penis and a vagina?
01:40:32.000Perchance it's some unholy, pinot-vaginal mismatch.
01:40:36.000Pseudo-hermaphrodites have the chromosomal and internal sex organs of one gender, while the external protuberances are, again, anyone's guess.
01:41:18.000Vagina and urethra coverage converge into one nauseating funnel-like drainage hole located somewhere in the taint area between the clitoris and the buttocks.
01:41:28.000Poop, pee, and vaginal sludge mingle freely.
01:41:31.000Corrective surgery is costly, complicated, and risky.
01:42:58.000They're doing dick replacement surgeries.
01:43:01.000If someone had an accident or something happened to their dick, they give them a penile replacement where someone will die and they'll take his dick and sew it onto you and it works.
01:43:13.000You can get an erection and everything.
01:43:14.000Didn't they do it for a soldier that got an explosion?
01:43:48.000I'll never forget, and I didn't even know this was real until somebody explained to me on the show that this actually happened, but Ozzy Osbourne's wife was on some talk show that she was doing for a while, and she was joking around about some woman who cut her husband's dick off,
01:44:16.000Because could you imagine a group of men sitting around laughing about a guy cutting off a chick's pussy and throwing it in a garbage disposal?
01:44:22.000I can't imagine a scenario where you would not only laugh about that, but laugh about it on television and think it's okay.
01:44:30.000But somehow or another it was okay for her to laugh about a guy losing his dick and having it chopped off and thrown into a fucking garbage disposal.
01:44:46.000I'm kind of close to this because sometimes people want to make a female version of Jackass where girls do terrible shit and hurt themselves on purpose.
01:44:59.000And it boils down to a hormonal thing because...
01:45:05.000Men, with testosterone, the idea is that we're providers and we're supposed to be macho and prove that we're tough, and so it becomes funny to see a guy fail and get hurt.
01:45:43.000I'm just saying it's weird that they thought it was okay to laugh about.
01:45:46.000It's not, I mean, it's horrific that people do horrific things to each other.
01:45:49.000It's no more horrific that a woman does it to a man than a man does it to a woman, and people have done horrible shit to women forever, but it's never funny.
01:46:15.000But I guess it's also because of what you're saying.
01:46:18.000It's like there's something funny about a man getting fucked up.
01:46:23.000A lot of people feel like that about watching women fighting.
01:46:26.000There's people that I know that are super uncomfortable with watching a Ioana Jacek fight because she beats the fuck out of chicks and bashes her face in and cuts them up.
01:46:40.000I really fucking love that shit, and I think it's incredible how not only did women be, you know, I mean, Dana White said forever that there will never be women, and then now not only are there women, but they're like the headliners.
01:46:54.000This past weekend, it was a co-main event, Joanna Janjacek, and it was a real good fight, because the woman she was fighting was just tough as fuck, and she took a serious beating, but there's a fight that she did, Joanna Janjacek, against, see if you pull up the highlights, Janjacek versus Jessica Panay.
01:47:15.000It's so hard to spell her name that people just call her Yolanda Champion.
01:47:18.000They don't even try with her last name because it's like a J and then a Z and then a fucking E and then some letters that don't even exist in the English language.
01:47:26.000But she beat this girl up so bad that it was fucking disturbing.
01:47:49.000Yeah, multiple time world Muay Thai champion.
01:47:52.000She was, before she ever got into MMA, she was one of the best strikers on the planet.
01:47:55.000And if you go like deep into the fight, she just pecks her apart for the first couple of rounds and then by the time you're deep in the round, she's just a mask of blood.
01:48:05.000And Joanna is just beating the fuck out of her and smashing her in the face with elbows and cutting her up.
01:48:11.000And then the final barrage when they stop the fight, you see blood pouring out of her nose.
01:49:14.000I just had a lot of thoughts all at the same time, like thinking, man, what an honor to sit next to Joe Rogan as he essentially commentates a fight.
01:49:22.000Like, a lot of people would want to do that.
01:49:24.000And then I was just thinking, oh, you know, like, I'm such a fan of yours, you know?
01:50:53.000I mean, that same thing is probably why she's not fighting anymore.
01:50:56.000Her animosity and her emotions were so riding on that thing.
01:51:01.000And then when she lost, and then when she lost again in a devastating fashion, that's also the reason why there was so much backlash.
01:51:08.000Whereas someone who's really loved, like Randy Couture, Randy Couture would lose a fight, and no one talked, I mean, I'm sure someone talked trash about him, but no one's opinion of him differed when he lost, because he's such a good guy.
01:51:20.000And because when he won, you know, after the fight, he would always pick the guy up and shake their hand and hug them, and he was always a gentleman.
01:51:29.000When people have that sort of a mentality...
01:51:33.000This past weekend, Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez had a fight, and the fight was stopped.
01:51:39.000Because of an illegal blow that Eddie Alvarez accidentally landed on Dustin Poirier, and the crowd was booing Eddie Alvarez, and Dustin Poirier yelled at the crowd, don't boo this man.
01:51:49.000Like, we were in a fight, and he's not a dirty fighter, and he made a mistake.
01:51:53.000First of all, Eddie Alvarez's eye was closed, he could barely see, he was completely on queer street, he had been almost knocked unconscious, and he hit this dude in the clinch with a couple of knees, and the referee didn't stop him, and he thought they were legal.
01:52:05.000You know, he's in the chaos of a crazy cage fight, but to have those two dudes after the fight, both are bloody and battered, both of them are just like exhausted from a war, right?
01:52:17.000And I'm interviewing the both of them side by side, and to have Dustin Poirier step in to defend Eddie Alvarez, who just need him illegally in the face, telling the crowd, don't boo this man.
01:52:32.000There's something beautiful about that.
01:52:34.000And I think people like the animosity, but they also really like the fact when the animosity is squashed after the fight and people hug it out.
01:54:48.000You want, you want to watch, you know, you see a guy like, you know, Dice Clay or Kinison or Pryor or whoever it is that inspired you, and you see them, Kevin Hart, you know, name your person.
01:54:59.000You see them and you want to be like, wow, that was awesome.
01:56:38.000Almost like the focus of it is, we're going to spotlight a number of these personalities from the UFC and really show just how fucking tragic it is.
01:56:47.000They put so much into it and then they have their careers for whatever it's worth and then when it's all said and done, they just got nothing to fucking show for it.
01:57:02.000If you're lucky and you become a Conor McGregor, who's like one in a million, or you become, you know, a George St. Pierre who retires as the champion, you're really, really unusual.
01:57:12.000But for everyone else, you have to do it because you love doing it.
01:57:32.000Floyd Mayweather makes hundreds of millions of dollars, not boxers.
01:57:36.000Like, Gernati Golovkin, who's one of the best boxers in the world, he can't even sell 200,000 pay-per-views.
01:57:42.000Like, his last pay-per-view buy, I think, was like 150,000, which is insanely low, to the point where, like, it's very difficult for promoters to even get behind him unless he's fighting someone like Canelo Alvarez, which is his next fight.
01:57:55.000Well, he'll make some money in that fight, but guarantee you he ain't making very good money, like with 150,000 pay-per-views, and he's a multiple-time world champion, and like a fantastic amateur fighter, and one of the best in the world.
01:58:09.000It's about being a star, and a promoter is not responsible to give a fighter a bunch of money if they're not earning a bunch of money.
01:58:17.000It's a business, and the business is people want to pay to see you.
01:58:47.000Well, it's show business, but it's also athletics.
01:58:50.000So it's a very bizarre combination of two worlds.
01:58:53.000Do you think that Conor McGregor is doing a disservice to himself by putting so much attention on, like just putting his whole UFC career on hold for this Mayweather thing?
02:00:08.000This idea that double is going to come your way if you get the judges' nod.
02:00:14.000Meanwhile, the judges get shit wrong all the time.
02:00:19.000Future, like, have $50,000 or $100,000, or who knows what the number is, on the line due to someone else's interpretation of it, or you can get injured and wind up losing, or anything can happen.
02:00:29.000Like, I think that's kind of fucked up.
02:00:31.000The thing about the Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight...
02:00:33.000Well, I mean, if it's tennis, you get the money if you win.
02:00:56.000Let's be honest about this as much as possible.
02:00:58.000This is a boxing match between Conor McGregor, a guy who's never had a real professional boxing match, who's a really good amateur boxer in Ireland, who's a real multiple-division world champion combat sports fighter, no doubt about that, and a striker, no doubt about that, but he's fighting one of the best boxers,
02:01:26.000The only way it could work out well is if Floyd takes him lightly, Conor clips him, Conor mugs him, Conor does some old school Bernard Hopkins shit, just ties him up, roughs him up inside the clinch, hits him with some real hard shots, or does something fucked up to him.
02:02:08.000And he can knock you out, like he knocked out Victor Ortiz, but he knocked out Victor Ortiz because he's just standing in front of him.
02:02:13.000He knocked out Ricky Hatton, who was a smaller fighter, but he doesn't knock out most guys.
02:02:17.000He stuns them, he sticks them with some hard shots, but Conor's got a really good chin and he's a much bigger guy.
02:02:23.000So the odds are, even if Conor gets worked, he's just going to get outboxed for 12 rounds and get embarrassed and just whiff at a bunch of punches and Floyd's not going to be anywhere near him.
02:02:49.000But I do know movement, and I know boxing, and there's just a big difference between what a guy like Floyd Mayweather can do and a guy like Conor can do when it comes to the actual boxing skills.
02:03:01.000But there's also another factor, too, that Conor has been fighting with small gloves, and he's going to be fighting with larger gloves.
02:03:08.000What size gloves do they agree on for the fight?
02:03:10.000If Floyd's smart, he's going to make him fight with 10-ounce gloves, you know, because probably Conor will want to wear 8. I don't know what weight class they have the cutoff in.
02:03:19.000Like, lighter weight classes, they use 8-ounce gloves, and heavier, they use 10-ounce gloves.
02:03:26.000That was a stipulation in the Marvin Hagler or Sugar Ray Leonard fight.
02:03:29.000Sugar Ray Leonard wanted the bigger gloves, wanted heavier gloves because he's fighting a big, heavy puncher like Hagler.
02:03:34.000So they might make some sort of a decision to go with larger gloves.
02:03:38.000But Floyd's a fucking 49-0, multiple-division world boxing champion, and Conor has never had a professional boxing fight.
02:04:01.000Yeah, I think I'll be watching that from home.
02:04:04.000I think whoever does commentary on that is going to be probably boxing people.
02:04:08.000It's like if you had Max Kellerman and Jim Lampley doing commentary on Floyd Mayweather fighting Conor McGregor in an MMA fight, I think that would be an embarrassment.
02:05:03.000You know, like, if you look at this past weekend, it's a perfect example when I said about Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier having this crazy war.
02:05:11.000Conor murked both of those guys with one punch.
02:05:15.000With, I mean, with Eddie, he softened him up with a few punches before he murked him, but he had him on Queer Street with one punch, and he murked Dustin Poirier with one punch.
02:05:25.000I mean, he's just, he hits Fucking hard.
02:05:29.000This is this guy, Farras Ahab, he's a very famous MMA coach, and he said it best.
02:06:23.000Deep understanding of where to be at the right time and where the punches can come from.
02:06:27.000The left comes from here, that means the right's coming this way, and he's nowhere near that.
02:06:31.000He's over here, and that means after the right, look at, like, when you stand in front of him, when you watch him, the way he's able to, like, slide out of the way of shit, I mean, dudes just don't fucking hit him very often.
02:06:43.000He's been hit least or less than any world champion that's had 49 fights.
02:06:50.000I would say that he probably has the most successful defensive career in the history of boxing.
02:06:57.000I mean, he's literally been tagged hard maybe five, six times in his entire career.
02:07:03.000And he stands in front of some of the best fighters in the world, like Canelo Alvarez.
02:07:23.000They should watch his defensive movements and abilities, I think, almost above all others, except now this new guy, Vasily Lomachenko, who I think rivals anybody that's ever lived in terms of his movement, his ability to move, and his positioning and footwork.
02:07:39.000I think he's as good as it's ever been.
02:07:42.000But, you know, he has only got like nine professional fights or something like that.
02:08:02.000Like Floyd Mayweather will go to a club, go to a nightclub in Vegas, hang out, drink water, hang out with everybody, get all the accolades.
02:08:09.000Ladies and gentlemen, Floyd, Bobby, Mayweather's in the house!
02:08:27.000I mean, his work ethic and his mind and his determination and focus.
02:08:31.000And I guarantee you, man, if he's getting ready for Floyd Mayweather or is getting ready for Conor McGregor, he's going to be in tip-top shape again, man.
02:08:57.000But he wasn't really making any money.
02:08:59.000You know, he became rich when he became Floyd Money Mayweather, when he started talking and all this shit, and then people wanted him to get his ass kicked.
02:09:07.000Like, people are paying to see him not necessarily because they like him.
02:09:11.000They're paying to see him because they want to see him get fucked up because he's a huge star.
02:09:15.000And he became a huge star by fucking with people, talking a lot of shit, talking about how great he is, showing all of his watches and all of his jewelry.
02:11:41.000I hope nobody fucks up before the fight.
02:11:44.000They almost got in a brawl this past weekend.
02:11:46.000You should check out that show, The Hurt Business.
02:11:49.000This past weekend, Daniel Cormier hit Jon Jones in the face with a water bottle at a press conference.
02:11:53.000Right, I saw that on TMZ. And Jon tried to chuck one at him, and they almost brawled.
02:11:57.000What's up with the water bottles at the press conferences?
02:12:00.000Well, now they drain the Monster Energy cans, so when you see those Monster Energy drinks that are sitting there on the dais, those are fake.
02:12:07.000They're real Monster Energy drinks, but they have to drink them all or empty them out before they get up there.
02:12:17.000And just this Jon Jones, that was so interesting, that press conference where Jon Jones is talking all positive, like, no, I want to show that you can get back on your feet, and this, and then Cormier says, wait, hold on a second, backstage you told me I'm the biggest pussy you ever saw.
02:12:34.000And then they, that was fascinating the way that played out.
02:12:37.000Well, John is starting to come clean now.
02:15:07.000Well, not only that, but he's fighting a guy who was consensus top two or three pound-for-pound fighter in the world in Dominic Cruz, and he still lit him up.
02:15:58.000But if you want to talk shit to him, oh, he's a black belt in talking shit.
02:16:01.000So it's like Dominic Cruz just kind of bit off more than he could chew when it came to the shit-talking and really fired Cody up.
02:16:08.000So when Cody dropped him and then started posing him, like, then Dominic has to kind of get it back, and he couldn't get it back, so he got kind of a little bit out of his, you know, his comfort level.
02:16:17.000It's a fascinating aspect of fighting, the trash-talking and the mental warfare.
02:19:45.000But I remember when I was 13 and I thought, well, fuck, if that guy went to America, if that guy went to England, the toothbrush dude, he'd probably get sick drinking the water...
02:20:02.000And I remember thinking, probably the best thing you could do would be to travel the whole world and drink fucking tap water like crazy everywhere you go.
02:20:10.000That'd be the way to build up your immune system.
02:20:11.000And then ultimately, that's what we did.
02:20:14.000Wild Boys, we went to fucking every goddamn continent except Antarctica.
02:20:18.000And I drank, the first thing I did, I'd put them from the airport, check in the hotel room, and I would put down my bag and I'd fucking...
02:20:25.000You know, you brush your teeth and you rinse it out and then you think, And I'd be able to put my head under the tap and just gulp, gulp, gulp, and drink a ton of tap water.
02:20:32.000I did that all over Africa, fucking Asia, South America, everywhere.
02:20:39.000I fucking drank tap water like a motherfucker.
02:21:24.000You know, at a comedy show, especially if I have a meet and greet after the show, which I didn't do in Dallas this past weekend, but for people that are asking, I can't...
02:21:33.000The size of that crowd was fucking unbelievable.
02:22:07.000Well, for his television show, it was real bad.
02:22:09.000But he's not doing that television show anymore, which I think is great because it allows him to concentrate on his stand-up, which is another thing.
02:22:15.000That was kind of his honeypot, was his travel channel show, where it was kind of taken away from his stand-up.
02:22:21.000But now his stand-up is blowing up because he's really focusing on it.
02:22:24.000He's doing it a lot, touring a lot, and now people are getting a chance.
02:22:55.000I just think it's funny how you say that His stand-up suffered because of the Travel Channel show, but now he's on the road every day out of the year.
02:23:03.000It's like, where does his family fit in?
02:23:16.000Because my sets at the comedy store are always like 10, 15. I put my kids to bed at 8, and then I'll go over my material real quick and head out the door.
02:23:23.000And then, you know, it's like I have another life.
02:26:21.000Well, they have it in their head that Salt Lake City is like stuck up Mormons, but the people that come out to the comedy clubs are the people that are tired of the Mormons.
