REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 2. The Irishman, The Anomaly Zone, Etc.

00:00:00.000 I told my teacher, dumb bitch, I'm gonna get millions, in the project living, spoke it 1.00

00:00:05.700 to existence, mold changed to 50, got mold cost than did it, I only weigh 180, but my 1.00

00:00:11.740 watch cost 250.

00:00:13.840 What is up, Realists? 1.00

00:00:16.220 This is your fucking show. 1.00

00:00:18.160 Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of our culture and society, and 1.00

00:00:22.380 welcome to motherfucking reality. 0.99

00:00:24.700 I'm Andy Frisella. 0.98

00:00:25.620 I'm here with my co-host, Vaughn, the pastor of Disaster, you know him as the world's

00:00:32.220 most interesting man, I think, sometimes.

00:00:36.800 Sometimes.

00:00:37.340 What else do we know you as?

00:00:38.680 I don't know, you know.

00:00:40.080 You know, back in the day when-

00:00:41.420 The spiritual guru for all those who are committed to excellence.

00:00:44.720 Hey, there we go, that's a good one.

00:00:46.540 Right now, I think-

00:00:47.500 Vaughn the Impaler, depends on who's asking.

00:00:49.800 Hey, how about this one?

00:00:51.620 The minister of mistletoe.

00:00:53.440 I like it, because it's Christmas time.

00:00:55.740 It is.

00:00:56.180 Yeah.

00:00:56.620 Because these names, they have to be seasonally appropriate.

00:00:59.200 Yes, and good things happen under mistletoe.

00:01:02.200 Yeah.

00:01:02.520 I heard that.

00:01:03.600 Yeah.

00:01:03.720 I don't know if I've ever experienced that.

00:01:05.660 You've literally never kissed anybody under mistletoe?

00:01:08.160 No, man.

00:01:08.660 It's, you know, when you're like me, it's kind of like mistletoe all the time.

00:01:11.120 Well-

00:01:11.800 You know what I'm saying?

00:01:12.720 So, like, it really doesn't make a difference.

00:01:13.940 Girls just walk around carrying mistletoe in the hopes, well, you know, dashed hopes, 1.00

00:01:17.200 of course.

00:01:17.440 Yeah.

00:01:17.600 Well, I mean, you know, it comes with the territory.

00:01:20.060 Yeah, I get it.

00:01:20.500 Not everybody can be, you know, 260 pounds of twisted steel in sex appeal.

00:01:25.000 That's true.

00:01:25.540 You know?

00:01:26.040 That's true.

00:01:26.600 Not everybody does that.

00:01:27.460 But I get it, you know, for the mortals, mistletoe is an appropriate thing.

00:01:32.280 It gives us an excuse.

00:01:33.260 Let's just roll with that today.

00:01:34.420 Yeah.

00:01:34.540 You're the minister of mistletoe.

00:01:35.780 Yeah.

00:01:36.200 Speaking of which, because we're talking about Christmas, when's the last time you got something

00:01:41.600 for Christmas that just blew your mind?

00:01:43.640 Like, literally.

00:01:44.060 Because, I mean, you're a guy, you've been successful, you've got a lot of, you know.

00:01:47.860 You know, man.

00:01:48.300 You got a lot of means.

00:01:49.340 So, I'm thinking that the best gift you ever got was probably something you got when you

00:01:52.220 were little.

00:01:53.520 Dude, you know what, man?

00:01:56.840 Like, it's weird.

00:01:58.020 Because, like, today, you know, today it is different, right?

00:02:00.740 Because when you get to a point where you can do kind of whatever you want to do.

00:02:04.540 Yeah.

00:02:05.120 You really start to learn to appreciate things that mean things.

00:02:08.940 You know what I mean?

00:02:09.540 And I'm fortunate enough to get that so much, like, I get it so much that I feel bad saying

00:02:17.220 this, but sometimes I take it for granted.

00:02:18.900 You know what I mean?

00:02:19.540 Yeah.

00:02:19.760 No, I get it.

00:02:20.980 But those letters and the things that people send me, like the little things, especially

00:02:25.580 like a lot of guys will send me, like, if they're in the teams or something, they'll

00:02:31.280 send me, like, their team coin or something like that.

00:02:35.360 I like that.

00:02:36.100 Those things mean something, man.

00:02:37.500 You know what I mean?

00:02:38.020 So it's not necessarily a Christmas thing.

00:02:40.480 But I would, man, I don't know.

00:02:44.280 Like, what'd you play with?

00:02:45.180 That's what, when I was a kid?

00:02:46.500 Other than yourself.

00:02:47.460 Oh, yeah.

00:02:47.960 Well, I'm an expert at that.

00:02:49.580 Trust me.

00:02:50.600 Listen, I could write a book about that, brother.

00:02:53.940 Nobody does me like me.

00:02:55.200 You know what I'm saying?

00:02:56.120 So here's the thing, dude.

00:03:01.380 Dude, when I was a kid, I liked G.I. Joe.

00:03:04.300 I loved G.I. Joe.

00:03:05.340 And we didn't have the big ones like you had when you were a kid.

00:03:08.840 Dude, I wasn't born in 1940. 1.00

00:03:10.820 Motherfucker. 1.00

00:03:11.920 I know you had the two-foot-tall ones. 1.00

00:03:14.720 No, I had the action figures, man.

00:03:15.660 I had the medium ones that are, like, I don't know, four inches tall or six inches tall, 0.97

00:03:19.400 wherever the fuck they are. 0.98

00:03:20.360 You know what I'm talking about. 1.00

00:03:21.100 Yeah.

00:03:21.840 Yeah.

00:03:22.180 I'm just teasing.

00:03:22.840 You're not that old.

00:03:23.300 No, but honestly, though, you and I both played with G.I.

00:03:26.020 Joe's in the golden years, because, man, early 90s, they started getting weird.

00:03:29.820 They started getting, like, really politically correct.

00:03:31.480 Oh, dude, no.

00:03:31.900 They had, like, G.I.

00:03:33.080 Joe eco-warriors.

00:03:34.560 Yeah. 0.96

00:03:35.020 What the heck? 0.95

00:03:35.580 No. 0.98

00:03:35.860 I had the dudes that, like, killed other people.

00:03:37.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:37.780 Exactly.

00:03:37.840 Like, I remember, like, I had, like, Snake Eyes, and I had Wild Bill.

00:03:43.880 Yep.

00:03:44.120 And then I had Monkey Ranch.

00:03:46.180 Monkey Ranch was my favorite dude.

00:03:47.840 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:48.020 That, you know, and do what I would do at Christmas.

00:03:51.560 So, we had this train set around our tree, an LGB train, which is a G-scale train.

00:03:57.760 It's a big train.

00:03:58.480 It's, like, the size, the cars are big.

00:04:00.360 Yeah.

00:04:00.840 They're not, like, the little HO trains.

00:04:02.800 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:03.080 One of my, I don't know where it came from.

00:04:04.980 It came from one of my dad's friends.

00:04:06.560 HO wasn't your favorite?

00:04:09.020 It is now.

00:04:12.560 I'm just kidding.

00:04:15.920 No, dude.

00:04:16.500 The, uh, the LGB train.

00:04:19.440 So, I had this train set, and I would, like, put my G.I. Joe characters on the train, right,

00:04:26.860 and then run the train, and I would create, like, these little battle scenes of these dudes

00:04:31.100 riding the train, and you know what I'm saying?

00:04:33.180 Like, I'd make them hang off the train, and then in the summertime, when it was firework 0.98

00:04:36.980 season, I, like, taped, uh, bottle rockets to their back and made them fucking jet packs 0.99

00:04:41.660 and shit. 0.99

00:04:42.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:04:42.160 Like, that was the shit, man. 1.00

00:04:43.320 Yeah. 1.00

00:04:43.500 I don't know if you remember this, but on the back of a G.I. Joe action figure, there

00:04:48.040 was, like, a little screw, and you could actually unscrew it, taking them apart.

00:04:52.620 That's what we used to do.

00:04:53.400 We used to take the guys apart, and we would combine them with other guys and create our

00:04:56.680 own characters.

00:04:56.720 You can do that?

00:04:57.480 Yeah, man.

00:04:57.960 It was awesome.

00:04:58.460 I didn't know.

00:04:58.780 See, I never knew that.

00:04:59.720 I just blew them up.

00:05:00.740 Yeah.

00:05:01.020 Well, I used to blow up army men.

00:05:03.540 Yeah.

00:05:03.740 You know?

00:05:04.100 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:04.500 That was fun.

00:05:05.420 Yeah, dude.

00:05:05.960 But I think that was the coolest.

00:05:08.080 Those were always cool, man.

00:05:09.380 Like, I remember getting, uh, when I was a kid, I remember getting, uh, uh, like one

00:05:16.180 of their vehicles.

00:05:17.120 It was called a Havoc.

00:05:18.580 Dude, I know exactly what a Havoc is.

00:05:20.140 All right.

00:05:20.480 All right.

00:05:20.500 So, I got one of those.

00:05:21.560 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:21.880 It was the shit, dude. 1.00

00:05:22.720 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:23.000 That was the coolest thing ever.

00:05:23.940 That was, like, the black tank.

00:05:25.140 Yeah.

00:05:25.320 It was like the, it was like a tank, but not really a tank.

00:05:27.920 Yeah.

00:05:28.160 Yeah, man.

00:05:28.740 I mean, nothing replaces that kind of stuff.

00:05:31.540 I don't even know what, honestly, I'm so out of it.

00:05:33.620 I mean, I've got three little kids all under the age of six.

00:05:36.680 So, they're not really, they're not really playing with, like, popular toys yet, you

00:05:41.140 know?

00:05:41.480 Yeah.

00:05:41.640 They're still young enough to where they're playing with pretty standard stuff, like dolls

00:05:44.600 and stuff.

00:05:45.200 So, I don't even know what's popular these days.

00:05:47.500 Like, I don't know what your nephew plays with, like Enzo.

00:05:50.540 Oh.

00:05:50.780 Well, he's pretty, he's pretty little.

00:05:52.260 He's, like, just like me and Sal were.

00:05:54.120 I just bought him, uh, the same LGB train that we had. 1.00

00:05:57.780 Because Sal posted on his Snap that they had a piece of shit train. 1.00

00:06:01.920 So, I went on Amazon when I was fucked up and ordered, like, $2,000 worth of fucking 1.00

00:06:06.120 train shit. 0.99

00:06:07.180 So, that should be showing up here any day. 0.99

00:06:11.420 That's awesome.

00:06:13.320 Oh, man.

00:06:14.860 But I felt like a kid buying it, bro.

00:06:16.700 I was like, oh, that was the one I wanted.

00:06:18.420 That was the one I wanted.

00:06:19.460 Oh, I wanted that one. 1.00

00:06:20.460 And now this little fucker's going to have all the shit that I wanted. 1.00

00:06:24.260 So, hopefully we don't spoil him too bad. 0.99

00:06:25.680 I feel like, not to get off on this tangent, but I do feel like so many toys these days

00:06:29.520 are digital.

00:06:30.640 Like, they're video games.

00:06:31.940 I mean, obviously, we play video games.

00:06:33.440 There's nothing wrong with video games.

00:06:35.040 But I feel like kids don't play, like, they don't play Army.

00:06:39.080 You used to play Army?

00:06:39.840 That's not cool anymore.

00:06:40.840 You can't do that.

00:06:41.600 No.

00:06:42.000 So, you.

00:06:42.580 If you do that, dude, they send you home from school. 1.00

00:06:44.300 They call the fucking police. 1.00

00:06:45.380 You used to be able to go into Walmart. 1.00

00:06:46.600 For some of you young bucks out there that don't know this.

00:06:48.760 You used to be able to go to Walmart, and you could get a plastic M16 that looked exactly

00:06:55.460 like, or an AK-47. 0.99

00:06:58.380 Bro, that was, like, the shit that I wanted all the time. 0.99

00:07:01.100 Those were kind of gentler days. 1.00

00:07:02.500 Like, now they don't, it's not, you can't do that shit no more. 1.00

00:07:06.300 No. 1.00

00:07:06.440 You know? 1.00

00:07:06.840 You fucking, if you did half the shit that I did when I was a kid, they would call the 1.00

00:07:11.900 fucking police. 1.00

00:07:12.600 Yeah. 1.00

00:07:12.880 You know what I'm saying?

00:07:13.460 And we didn't do anything illegal.

00:07:14.900 No. 0.99

00:07:15.280 Like, the world is fucked up. 0.99

00:07:17.040 You know? 0.99

00:07:17.660 And, like, I get it, dude.

00:07:18.500 You don't want your kid running around learning how to kill other people. 1.00

00:07:22.200 Well, fuck, man. 1.00

00:07:22.780 Let's keep shit, like, at least somewhat. 1.00

00:07:25.160 Boys are boys. 1.00

00:07:26.300 And you and I both are big supporters of the police department and, you know, law enforcement.

00:07:32.000 I understand also why they went to, you know, they started making those toys to where there

00:07:38.100 was something about the toy that made it clear that it was a toy.

00:07:40.440 Like, it had a big red, you know, stopper at the, you know, because what happened back

00:07:44.680 in the 80s is, you know, you had little kids with toys and police officers.

00:07:48.440 Officers thought they were real guns.

00:07:49.460 That's right.

00:07:49.940 I get that.

00:07:50.720 So, that makes sense.

00:07:51.380 No, no, I get it.

00:07:52.120 That's reasonable.

00:07:52.600 I get it.

00:07:53.080 But, I mean, dude, it's just crazy.

00:07:54.960 It's crazy to think how, in my opinion, how overcorrected we are now.

00:07:59.640 Yeah.

00:07:59.960 You know what I mean?

00:08:00.600 Like, yeah, okay.

00:08:01.660 I get it. 0.99

00:08:02.180 Like, you probably shouldn't have BB gun wars when you're fucking nine years old like 0.99

00:08:05.820 we did. 0.99

00:08:06.220 Like, we actually shot each other with BB guns.

00:08:08.580 You know? 0.99

00:08:09.000 Like, not fucking Airsoft guns. 0.99

00:08:10.960 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:11.140 Like, you fucking kids out there wearing all that armor and shit with Airsoft, you're 1.00

00:08:14.500 a bunch of pussies. 1.00

00:08:15.320 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:15.740 We shot each other with fucking BB guns. 1.00

00:08:17.160 It's so true. 1.00

00:08:17.700 You know what I'm saying?

00:08:18.220 It's so true. 0.84

00:08:19.000 Don't do that, by the way.

00:08:20.120 I'm not condoning that.

00:08:21.100 Yeah, I know.

00:08:21.440 Like, I'm extremely lucky that I have both eyes.

00:08:25.720 Yeah.

00:08:26.220 You know?

00:08:27.180 But that's the stuff we did.

00:08:29.120 Yeah.

00:08:29.280 You know?

00:08:29.480 We were wild little kids.

00:08:30.660 Well, speaking of guns, which is, of course, a very controversial topic, but speaking of

00:08:36.520 guns, you and I both recently- 1.00

00:08:38.520 Not to normal motherfuckers. 1.00

00:08:39.520 Well, not to normal motherfuckers. 1.00

00:08:40.400 That have a fucking brain. 1.00

00:08:41.540 Yeah, that's true. 1.00

00:08:42.740 But you and I both recently watched a movie that had quite a bit of guns in it, but that

00:08:47.720 really wasn't the focal point of the movie.

00:08:49.380 You and I, you were actually the one that told me about the movie.

00:08:53.120 Yeah.

00:08:54.360 And it blew me away, dude.

00:08:56.400 You're talking about The Irishman.

00:08:57.280 The Irishman.

00:08:58.100 Dude.

00:08:58.540 Yeah, we got to talk about that.

00:08:59.620 Dude.

00:09:00.840 I'll tell you this.

00:09:02.300 I'm not big on, like, the Netflix original things.

00:09:05.240 Like, I've watched a couple, and I'm like, oh, they're decent.

00:09:08.340 That one, that, that, is this your first podcast there, buddy? 0.99

00:09:16.220 It's his first fucking rodeo. 0.97

00:09:17.940 Tyler's over there watching TikTok. 0.99

00:09:19.080 Yeah, he is. 0.98

00:09:24.220 So, anyway, I completely forgot what the fuck I was going to say. 0.93

00:09:27.740 No, you were talking about, you're not used to watching, you're not necessarily big on 0.91

00:09:31.200 the Netflix original movies.

00:09:33.220 Oh, yeah, no.

00:09:34.160 You know, they're okay.

00:09:35.040 They're good.

00:09:35.440 But, man, that one, dude, come on. 0.95

00:09:38.600 De Niro, Pacino, fucking Scorsese, Pesce, you know, like, dude, it is, and it's good. 0.98

00:09:46.580 Like, I told you, and I stand by this. 0.99

00:09:49.880 I think it's the best movie that they've, like, out of the casino and the Goodfellas and all

00:09:57.320 these other movies, and a lot of people are going to get pissed when I say this, but I

00:10:00.520 think that's the best one.

00:10:01.740 No, it's great.

00:10:02.580 And I guess, you know, we'll do our best not to reveal too much in terms of spoilers,

00:10:07.360 although...

00:10:07.580 But if you've got Netflix, go watch that movie.

00:10:10.460 You've got to watch it.

00:10:10.740 It's really good.

00:10:11.460 And just to give you kind of a quick rundown, I mean, it's a combination of historical events

00:10:16.300 and speculation.

00:10:18.120 So Scorsese makes it clear that he says, you know, these are based on historical events,

00:10:22.140 but there's areas we took liberties, we kind of speculated about what might happen.

00:10:26.000 Right.

00:10:26.560 But the movie centers around Frank Sheeran, who's played by Robert De Niro, and he's the actual

00:10:32.980 Irishman.

00:10:33.800 Yeah.

00:10:33.940 And for those of you who don't know, Frank Sheeran was an actual historical figure.

00:10:39.780 He was a mafia hitman.

00:10:41.220 He was also involved in the...

00:10:43.120 Like, he was really involved in the Teamsters and the unions back in the 60s, but...

00:10:49.020 And I don't profess to know everything about this, but I think back in the 60s, there was

00:10:52.340 some sort of connection between those two at different points where there was, you know,

00:10:58.100 mobs were involved in Teamsters and Teamsters were involved in mobs. 0.92

00:11:00.720 That's not to say everybody involved in the union was part of the mob.

00:11:04.660 But anyway, the movie is basically about Frank Sheeran's life, and it follows his relationship

00:11:10.420 with Russ Buffalino, who was from a crime family in the 60s, and of course, the major

00:11:18.880 figure.

00:11:19.500 And Buffalino's played by Joe Pesci just brilliantly, dude.

00:11:22.360 Yeah.

00:11:22.720 Just brilliantly.

00:11:23.440 Yeah.

00:11:23.600 And Pesci actually retired, and he was done.

00:11:27.860 Like, he walked away, and...

00:11:29.200 Dude, it's totally different than his, like, typical role, too.

00:11:31.800 Yeah. 0.99

00:11:31.900 Like, when I think of Pesci, I think of, like, how in Casino, he was just, like, this fucking 0.99

00:11:35.540 wild animal. 1.00

00:11:36.300 Yeah.

00:11:36.700 Like, he...

00:11:37.540 And this movie we're talking about... 0.86

00:11:40.380 Look, dude, and if you don't want it fucking spoiled, you should probably go watch the 0.94

00:11:43.020 movie and come back and listen. 0.97

00:11:43.480 Yeah, go watch it and come back and listen to this.

00:11:44.740 Because we're going to talk about it, because there's some good stuff in it.

00:11:47.140 But, dude, he just killed that role.

00:11:50.220 Yeah, he did.

00:11:50.500 I mean, like, he makes you, like, you know, he makes you, like, scared.

00:11:56.000 Yeah.

00:11:56.480 Yeah.

00:11:56.960 But not in a, like, not in an aggressive way.

00:11:59.760 No, absolutely.

00:12:00.600 I was just telling this to a friend.

00:12:01.840 He is such a brilliant actor that he literally somehow perfectly combined the gentle grandfather

00:12:09.120 with the guy that you don't mess with, or you're going to end up six feet under.

00:12:12.120 Yeah.

00:12:12.360 You know?

00:12:12.660 Yeah.

00:12:12.760 It was just, I mean, some of the expressions on his face.

00:12:15.100 Yeah.

00:12:15.240 But the other major character in the movie, and a huge part of the movie, is Jimmy Hoffa,

00:12:19.180 played by Al Pacino.

00:12:20.800 And, again, for those who know about Jimmy Hoffa, he was a labor leader.

00:12:25.840 Like, probably one of the most powerful and influential people, men, in the 60s and the

00:12:31.740 70s.

00:12:32.360 And he disappeared.

00:12:33.920 And the movie kind of speculates as to why.

00:12:35.940 The 50s and 60s, I believe.

00:12:36.560 Was it 50s and 60s?

00:12:37.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:12:37.840 50s and 60s.

00:12:38.960 But, anyway, so what we thought we'd do is, well, let me just, like, let's start just generally.

00:12:44.680 Like, tell me your general thoughts about what you liked about the movie.

00:12:48.920 Just themes or ideas or...

00:12:51.520 Look, man, you know, that was an era when business was done on honor and respect.

00:12:59.120 You know what I mean?

00:13:00.000 A lot of people don't understand that concept.

00:13:03.260 You know, there was a time where there wasn't all these lawsuits and people saying,

00:13:08.780 oh, I'm going to blow you up on social media if they don't like you. 0.98

00:13:13.180 Like, that's just not how shit was handled back then. 1.00

00:13:16.740 You know, if you fucked with someone, you got dealt with. 1.00

00:13:20.000 Right. 0.99

00:13:20.140 That was reality.

00:13:20.920 And that was the way it was up until even in the 80s, you know, where it was pretty

00:13:27.400 consistent, at least around here in St. Louis.

00:13:30.300 I know that was the truth.

00:13:32.380 You don't promise in a handshake.

00:13:33.780 That's right. 0.99

00:13:34.280 And if you fucking violate it, you're in trouble. 0.99

00:13:36.740 Yeah. 0.99

00:13:37.000 And what's really interesting to me about that is that, you know, because I know...

00:13:40.020 I'm not saying you get killed.

00:13:41.440 No, no. 1.00

00:13:41.740 But I'm saying, like, you might end up with a baseball bat to your fucking dome in your 1.00

00:13:45.540 garage when you're not expecting it. 0.99

00:13:47.700 You know what I mean?

00:13:48.460 Stuff like that.

00:13:49.100 No, I totally...

00:13:50.220 I think, and again, you know, it's obviously clearly we're not glorifying the mob or organized

00:13:57.260 crime.

00:13:57.720 But I think what's really interesting about this movie and the culture that it portrays

00:14:02.700 is that you have people doing some pretty horrible things, but there is sort of a code

00:14:08.740 that you don't break.

00:14:10.400 You know, a code of honor that you don't break.

00:14:12.060 Like, there's an integrity involved, keeping your promises.

00:14:15.540 Um, you know, handshake, that sort of thing, being honest with each other.

00:14:20.220 So it's kind of weird because, you know, you think about the different things that, you

00:14:23.780 know, like organized crime or you think about even in some of the gangs, even in the middle

00:14:30.700 of all of that stuff that we would not agree with, there's some sort of note of honor.

00:14:35.720 And it's really fascinating to me, dude.

00:14:37.720 It's just a fascinating aspect of human life, you know, that you could have a bunch of people

00:14:42.360 who are otherwise doing things.

00:14:43.660 Well, not everything that they were doing was bad.

00:14:45.860 Dude, I think it's biblical if you want to really talk about it because what it is, is, 0.99

00:14:51.560 you know, and people are going to be like, what the fuck do you talk? 0.99

00:14:53.460 Let me, let me fucking explain here, Jesus, before I start, before you start getting pissed 0.99

00:14:58.200 off. 0.99

00:14:58.740 All right.

00:14:59.840 Look.

00:15:00.400 You call me Jesus?

00:15:01.240 No, I'm talking to everybody else who's going to be like, all right.

00:15:05.620 This ain't, this ain't that kind of podcast. 0.99

00:15:07.340 I don't really give a fuck what you think. 0.99

00:15:08.560 Right. 0.99

00:15:09.020 That was the old show.

00:15:10.480 Okay.

00:15:10.960 Right.

00:15:12.400 So it's biblical, dude.

00:15:15.000 Right.

00:15:15.980 You have a set of standards.

00:15:17.300 You have a code that you live by.

00:15:19.060 And when you violate that code, bad things happen to you.

00:15:22.240 That is the essence of the Bible.

00:15:24.840 Right.

00:15:26.240 Wait, listen.

00:15:27.540 It's an ideal.

00:15:28.220 It's a set of ideals, a set of beliefs, of rules, so to speak, that are imposed upon a

00:15:35.240 certain culture to maintain order.

00:15:38.320 That is essentially what the mob is.

00:15:40.540 It's the same thing.

00:15:41.980 Okay. 0.99

00:15:42.480 Now, people are going to say, well, why the fuck are you comparing the Bible to the mob? 0.99

00:15:46.220 I'm not comparing them. 0.98

00:15:47.640 I'm saying they're structured similarly.

00:15:49.540 Right.

00:15:50.020 Right. 0.99

00:15:50.300 So we're talking about, you know, a code that is enforced by the threat of bad shit. 0.98

00:15:57.620 And it keeps people aligned. 0.99

00:15:59.900 That's society. 0.98

00:16:00.960 The reason we have so much disorder in society right now is because there's no fucking fear 1.00

00:16:07.620 that bad shit's going to happen. 0.99

00:16:09.860 You know, when we get someone who commits one of these school shootings or one of these 1.00

00:16:14.500 mass murders, the motherfucker may not even go to fucking death row. 1.00

00:16:20.160 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:16:21.140 Dude, if you want order, man, you got to fucking take that motherfucker. 1.00

00:16:24.540 You got to make sure he's the right motherfucker. 1.00

00:16:26.220 But when you know that he is, you got a film of this dude pulling the trigger or whatever 0.99

00:16:31.240 he did. 0.99

00:16:31.880 That dude should be executed in like 30 days. 1.00

00:16:34.820 Right. 0.98

00:16:35.120 You know, due process, make sure it's the right guy.

00:16:39.120 DNA evidence says it's right.

00:16:40.940 Physical evidence says it's right.

00:16:42.440 Witnesses, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:43.600 I understand there's exceptions.

00:16:45.920 I understand there's exceptions.

00:16:47.700 But if you've got hard proof that someone did something, they need to be made an example

00:16:52.860 of so that the rest of the people don't think that they're because what's happening now is

00:16:56.580 people think that if they get caught doing something that it's the worst that's going 0.96

00:17:00.860 to happen to them is they're going to go to some country club bullshit prison and, you 0.97

00:17:05.720 know, live out their days. 0.98

00:17:06.980 That's not enough fear to keep people in check.

00:17:09.600 That's the truth. 0.99

00:17:11.120 You know, do-gooders want to argue this shit and say, oh, well, what if he did this or 1.00

00:17:15.840 and he was abused as a child or he was under duress or he had PT, the motherfucker hurt 1.00

00:17:21.580 this person or did that person or did this or that. 1.00

00:17:25.300 They need to be dealt with.

00:17:27.180 Right. 0.99

00:17:27.820 You know, we fucking argue every day about, oh, how do we stop DWIs? 0.97

00:17:32.060 How about this? 1.00

00:17:33.380 Put a fucking law in place and you get caught driving drunk. 1.00

00:17:36.260 You go to jail for a year. 1.00

00:17:38.420 Nobody would drive drunk.

00:17:40.660 And you know what would happen? 0.99

00:17:41.840 Then the cab companies, the economy, and all the shit that supports that lifestyle would 0.99

00:17:46.520 fucking thrive. 0.99

00:17:47.760 But why don't they do that? 0.99

00:17:50.460 Why don't they do it?

00:17:51.860 I know why.

00:17:53.180 Because none of the lawyers will vote for it because they make all their money defending 1.00

00:17:55.960 motherfuckers. 1.00

00:17:57.980 All right. 1.00

00:17:58.700 So this is another, you know, this is what we talked about in the last episode where we

00:18:03.820 have these ideals and these systems in play that don't serve society, but everybody just

00:18:11.140 accepts them.

00:18:12.520 You know what I mean?

00:18:13.540 Yeah.

00:18:13.900 So I think the way things were run back then is a very relevant topic to dive into in terms

00:18:20.660 of how society is run today. 0.99

00:18:23.380 You know, you didn't do that shit back then. 1.00

00:18:25.500 You didn't fuck with people back then. 1.00

00:18:27.140 People mind their own business. 0.99

00:18:28.380 They did their own thing.

00:18:29.560 They took care of each other. 1.00

00:18:30.760 And if they did do bad shit, guess what happened? 1.00

00:18:33.680 Bad shit happened to them. 0.99

00:18:35.700 But we don't have that now. 1.00

00:18:37.900 Kids get in a fist fight in a fucking school parking lot and they call the fucking cops. 1.00

00:18:42.460 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:18:43.440 Yeah, absolutely. 0.93

00:18:44.380 Like, I'm not some violent fucking savage, but like, you got to have a way to keep people 0.96

00:18:51.340 in check. 0.97

00:18:51.740 And right now they're not in check. 1.00

00:18:53.480 They're going fucking crazy. 1.00

00:18:55.400 You got all these criminals running around doing crazy ass shit because there's no fucking 1.00

00:18:59.680 fear of what's going to happen to them whenever they get caught. 1.00

00:19:02.760 That's the truth. 1.00

00:19:03.900 Because you have all these fucking ultra fucking super liberal motherfuckers who are like sympathizing 1.00

00:19:11.880 with people that don't deserve it. 1.00

00:19:15.600 And before you raise your voice and say, oh, you're fucked up, dude, I'm a victim of violent 1.00

00:19:19.540 crime. 1.00

00:19:20.380 I fucking know what that shit's like. 1.00

00:19:22.500 Do you? 1.00

00:19:23.540 Probably not.

00:19:24.360 And I'm glad you don't. 0.98

00:19:25.340 But I'm going to tell you right now, the dude who fucking stabbed me in the face, he 0.99

00:19:29.560 was out. 0.98

00:19:30.320 He was there was charges that were waiting to be pressed on him for him almost killing

00:19:35.740 another man with a baseball bat a few weeks beforehand. 0.95

00:19:38.940 What if they had actually fucking enforced those charges and took care of that instead 0.93

00:19:44.020 of it being like, oh, well, we're not sure if this is worth blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.96

00:19:48.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:50.740 Dude, my life will be and I'm glad they did it because I'm glad it happened.

00:19:54.220 But the point is, there's lots of situations where somebody like me doesn't survive because

00:19:58.360 of somebody like that.

00:20:00.020 You know what I mean?

00:20:00.940 Yeah, no, I get it.

00:20:01.940 What I hear you saying, too, not that this was your main point, but maybe it was, is that

00:20:07.040 historically we've always been a nation of laws.

00:20:09.460 And we've been a nation where if you do this, this is what's going to result.

00:20:14.240 If you break the law, this is what's going to happen.

00:20:16.900 And I think there's no question like, well, particularly in the Old Testament, there's a thing called

00:20:21.540 the Lex Talionis, which is basically modern translation would be the law of reciprocity,

00:20:27.840 which is that if you kill somebody, the equitable justice for that is that that person gets killed.

00:20:34.000 You know, like, in other words, you know, the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

00:20:36.960 What a lot of people don't realize is that that is not a prescription for vengeance.

00:20:40.760 That's a prescription for if you take somebody's eye out, the appropriate response is you get your eye out.

00:20:48.320 Like, right, it was meant to be, in that original system in the Old Testament, it was meant to be a source of justice.

00:20:53.580 But there's no question that there's a spiritual principle, I mean, that's reaffirmed in the New Testament,

00:20:59.280 which is whatsoever a man reaps, so also shall he sow.

00:21:02.840 Right.

00:21:03.300 So there's a, and what I think, what I feel like you're saying now is that we've gotten to a point

00:21:09.780 where people want to break laws, whether it be legal, moral, ethical, whatever, and get out of the consequences.

00:21:20.300 I don't know what people want, but I know this. 0.99

00:21:23.420 I know that if you're a criminal and you know that if you fucking carjack someone and kill them, 1.00

00:21:30.060 that there's a chance that you could be dead in 40 days, they fucking stop doing it. 1.00

00:21:35.020 Right. 0.99

00:21:35.740 People don't want to deal with the consequences of their actions.

00:21:38.100 That's right.

00:21:38.480 And as a society—

00:21:39.440 Well, they don't fear the consequences.

00:21:40.720 Right.

00:21:41.260 They don't fear the consequences.

00:21:42.840 Right.

00:21:43.160 So that's something I can respect about the way they did back then.

00:21:45.860 That's all I'm trying to say.

00:21:46.800 Yeah.

00:21:47.020 No, I get it.

00:21:47.640 I get it.

00:21:49.040 Well, and on that level, though, like I said, it goes back to what we're saying.

00:21:52.360 Like, here you have a—it's just a really complicated thing.

00:21:55.760 You have this movie that's portraying these relationships within this organized crime syndicate,

00:22:03.700 and they are not—on many levels, they are not good people, and they are not doing good things.

00:22:09.060 But, man, there is virtue at different aspects in their relationship.

00:22:15.240 And I tell you what, what I liked, and I'm curious about what you have to say,

00:22:18.820 the themes that I thought that were really interesting in this movie were the themes of friendship and loyalty.

00:22:27.460 Dude, before you even say that, I was just thinking.

00:22:31.640 I saw a clip that was forwarded to me by a friend of mine who is a New York City cop, one of my best friends.

00:22:40.920 Sends me a clip of a person—this is a news report—the person had went—this guy had went in to rob a dollar store with a gun.

00:22:53.580 And before he was able to get the money, the clerk, who was legally carrying a weapon, shot and killed this person.

00:23:01.680 Okay?

00:23:02.700 Then, on the news, they show this person's family who got killed, and they're saying,

00:23:08.180 he didn't deserve to get killed, he didn't blah, blah, blah.

00:23:11.600 That's the problem I'm talking about with society. 1.00

00:23:14.220 Motherfucker, how the fuck can you say that someone who walks into a store, 1.00

00:23:18.760 pulls out a gun, sticks it in someone's face, and that person then defends themselves and kills this person, 1.00

00:23:26.920 is not—didn't get what they deserved. 1.00

00:23:29.980 That's exactly what the fuck they deserved. 1.00

00:23:32.600 And if you don't think so, you're fucking delusional. 1.00

00:23:35.880 I'm just going to say that right now. 1.00

00:23:38.000 We cannot have people running around doing this shit, terrorizing regular folks, 0.99

00:23:43.900 because they feel like it's okay. 1.00

00:23:46.800 You know what I mean?

00:23:47.780 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:23:48.600 That is not—and what we have now is we have a situation in our society

00:23:54.260 where there is a group of people who look at the one exception to the rule, right?

00:24:00.120 Like, they'll pull—like, right now, I can already imagine what they're saying.

00:24:03.020 Well, what about in 1972, when prisoner number 4776725, we found out that we executed them wrongly? 0.98

00:24:11.520 Well, you should have done your fucking homework better then. 0.98

00:24:14.580 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:24:15.420 Right.

00:24:15.540 But that doesn't mean that we make the rest of society suffer because we made a mistake back in 1970.

00:24:21.920 Right.

00:24:22.300 You know what I mean?

00:24:23.060 Right.

00:24:23.380 And nobody's saying that it's not a mistake.

00:24:25.200 Everybody's saying it's a tragedy if somebody's wrongly accused.

00:24:28.460 That is a tragedy.

00:24:30.280 It's a huge tragedy.

00:24:30.700 But it doesn't change. 0.98

00:24:32.580 But don't fucking alter the game plan because you made one mistake. 0.97

00:24:36.480 Learn from the mistake. 0.93

00:24:38.320 Put systems in place to prevent that from happening.

00:24:41.420 I'm pretty fucking sure it doesn't take 15 years for someone to figure out if they actually did these crimes or not.

00:24:49.200 You know what I mean? 0.93

00:24:49.880 Let's shorten that 15-year window into maybe it's not 40 days.

00:24:54.660 Maybe it's one year.

00:24:55.860 Maybe it's two years.

00:24:57.120 But let's make it short enough to where when people are pulling a gun out of their pocket to stick it in someone's face,

00:25:03.300 they're aware enough to know, well, this could be the end of my life in a very short time if I do this.

00:25:10.140 It would make people behave differently.

00:25:12.760 But we have too many people out there that sympathize with people and somehow justify their behavior 0.97

00:25:19.140 because they've had zero taste of this in their sheltered little fucking fairytale life. 0.98

00:25:26.540 You see what I'm saying? 1.00

00:25:27.820 That's the problem.

00:25:29.100 We got Susie Homemaker who's been raised in white upper middle class America 1.00

00:25:37.140 who has never experienced any real hardship or had any run-ins with anything real 1.00

00:25:44.020 out in the fucking street picketing for this motherfucker's rights. 1.00

00:25:49.200 No, fuck you. 1.00

00:25:51.100 That dude don't have no rights. 1.00

00:25:53.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:25:54.240 That's how I feel.

00:25:55.700 But then again, what do I know? 1.00

00:25:56.880 I'm only the victim of a fucking attempted murder. 1.00

00:26:00.460 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:26:01.560 What do I know?

00:26:02.840 So, if you don't like it, I don't care.

00:26:05.060 No, but again, I hear what you're saying and it goes down to we're living in a society

00:26:10.100 that increasingly does not want to be held accountable.

00:26:13.640 Whether it's breaking the law or, you know...

00:26:18.080 It's entitlement, bro.

00:26:19.160 Right.

00:26:19.580 It's entitlement.

00:26:20.700 It's entitlement.

00:26:21.660 I deserve to have this sort of life because I was born.

00:26:25.000 Right. 1.00

00:26:25.380 Which is the absolute fucking nonsense. 0.99

00:26:29.080 Right. 1.00

00:26:29.600 Some people are so entitled they don't even know they're entitled.

00:26:32.520 You know what I'm saying?

00:26:35.080 Right, right, right. 1.00

00:26:35.520 Like, they're so entitled they're ignorant. 0.98

00:26:37.780 Like, I get all these people all the time who are hitting me up and they're saying, 1.00

00:26:41.660 yeah, fuck these kids. 1.00

00:26:45.260 They're so entitled. 1.00

00:26:46.220 The millennials are so... 0.98

00:26:47.000 No, it's not just the millennials.

00:26:48.500 Where do you think they got that from?

00:26:49.860 Right. 1.00

00:26:50.120 They got it from you, motherfucker. 1.00

00:26:51.960 Right. 1.00

00:26:52.260 They didn't just come up with that idea.

00:26:54.160 They watched you.

00:26:56.120 Right.

00:26:56.280 You know, a lot of the people pointing their finger at millennials should be pointing the 0.97

00:26:59.780 finger at themselves.

00:27:00.980 Who raised them?

00:27:02.340 Who set that example?

00:27:03.400 Dude, that's a great point.

00:27:04.560 And it's not in...

00:27:05.400 I mean, you and I are getting a little older.

00:27:07.140 It's not just...

00:27:07.640 I think millennials are getting older.

00:27:08.780 Speak for yourself, bro.

00:27:09.420 I'm just saying, it's not...

00:27:11.020 I think the millennials are actually starting to be the generation that's getting older.

00:27:14.040 I don't know what they call the kids in high school these days.

00:27:16.480 I think it's generation Y. 0.99

00:27:18.580 But the point is, is that, yes, you're right.

00:27:20.440 The dirty little secret... 0.99

00:27:20.880 We're going to call them the fucking realist because that's what we're going to make them. 1.00

00:27:23.500 That's right. 1.00

00:27:24.020 We're going to...

00:27:24.420 Generation real. 0.52

00:27:25.200 So, but...

00:27:27.380 I like that.

00:27:28.440 You like that?

00:27:29.060 Generation R.

00:27:29.980 Generation R.

00:27:30.840 Yeah.

00:27:31.740 But really, the dirty little secret that nobody wants to talk about, everybody's so down

00:27:37.140 on these kids.

00:27:38.680 Well, who raised them?

00:27:40.080 Who raised them?

00:27:41.120 But that's the entitlement in itself.

00:27:43.680 And listen, I'm a...

00:27:44.980 Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:27:46.060 No, I get it.

00:27:46.780 Yeah.

00:27:47.120 And this is what I would say.

00:27:48.260 Like, I'm a parent.

00:27:50.220 I'm not about to...

00:27:51.260 You know, I'm not quick to judge.

00:27:52.620 Parenting's hard.

00:27:53.300 And I'm not quick to judge other parents, but I will say this.

00:27:57.160 Both as a parent and as a guy that worked with kids for like 10 years as a youth pastor,

00:28:03.080 are there good parents that end up having really crappy kids?

00:28:07.640 Yeah, it happens.

00:28:10.400 Are there kids that end up being really great even though they had really crappy parents?

00:28:16.100 Yeah, it happens.

00:28:18.040 But by and large, good parents produce good kids.

00:28:22.740 By and large.

00:28:23.300 Dude, look.

00:28:23.940 You can...

00:28:24.180 I mean...

00:28:24.640 I totally agree.

00:28:25.500 Yeah. 0.97

00:28:25.620 And Vaughn, you can break every fucking thing down to general math, if we're being honest. 0.98

00:28:32.400 Like, if you do certain things with your kids, your kids will turn out a certain way. 0.99

00:28:38.300 Right.

00:28:38.660 If you do certain things in your career, your career will turn out a certain way.

00:28:42.840 The problem is people live in the anomaly zone, so to speak, right?

00:28:51.060 Like, they take the one circumstance or the one situation where things... 0.83

00:28:55.900 Like, for example, I run into this all the time because of the entrepreneur fucking whatever you want to call what I've done for the last five years space. 0.99

00:29:06.380 Like, I call it the fucking... 0.99

00:29:08.380 The circus, okay? 0.99

00:29:11.940 Doing the circus, I've sort of learned a few things about people.

00:29:15.900 And one of the things I see that people do the most when it comes to financial success is they will point at that one situation where, like, the person did everything right.

00:29:30.420 They grind it out.

00:29:32.020 They did this.

00:29:33.120 They did that.

00:29:33.700 And things still didn't work out.

00:29:35.180 And they'll point to that anomaly and say, what about that guy?

00:29:38.660 Well, here's my argument to that. 1.00

00:29:40.540 You don't know the whole fucking story. 0.99

00:29:42.720 Because I could tell you because I... 0.99

00:29:45.500 Outside of maybe, like, Tony Robbins and maybe Gary Vee...

00:29:50.180 Maybe. 0.99

00:29:52.880 I've talked to more successful people than probably most people on the fucking planet. 0.99

00:29:59.400 So I have a good reference of what the mentality is. 0.98

00:30:02.440 And I could tell you, this mentality of pointing at the anomaly as if it's the actual truth is a terrible disease that infects people.

00:30:11.260 Absolutely.

00:30:12.100 They look at, you know, the one situation where, oh, that guy did everything right and his life still sucked.

00:30:19.420 And then what they do, they do that to justify their own lack of action and their own thoughts and their own drive and their own unwillingness to do the actual work, right?

00:30:30.760 So because if they admitted that, okay, that's an anomaly, that means they have to admit that the reason they are where they are is just because they didn't do what they were supposed to do, which is a painful thing to do, right?

00:30:42.360 Absolutely. What you're talking about is a tried and true principle in the history of the American political scene up until recently, which is that all the major philosophers, all the major political theorists always said exceptions make bad policy.

00:30:58.860 You don't make policy based on the exceptions.

00:31:01.140 And most...

00:31:01.640 You never do.

00:31:02.040 Most American people, and I can't speak for the people around the globe, but I'm saying most American people do that with their lives.

00:31:10.240 Oh, absolutely.

00:31:10.720 They make policy around the exceptions.

00:31:12.600 Right.

00:31:13.180 With their lives.

00:31:14.020 But don't you think, Andy, we do this, I mean, people who don't really take time to think, we do this all the time in our own lives. 1.00

00:31:21.620 Like we might, let's say you meet somebody and it's the only person from Poland you've ever met in your life, and that person ends up being a total jerk. 1.00

00:31:31.240 Like, well, then you go around saying, man, all Polish people suck. 1.00

00:31:35.960 I'll give you a real life example. 0.97

00:31:37.500 What's the reputation of French people?

00:31:40.080 Snooty. 0.98

00:31:40.600 They're rude.

00:31:41.160 Yeah.

00:31:41.640 Dude, I've been to France like 10 times. 0.99

00:31:43.500 I think they're some of the coolest motherfuckers I ever met. 0.99

00:31:45.680 Yeah. 0.99

00:31:46.360 You know what I'm saying?

00:31:46.940 Yeah, no, exactly.

00:31:48.340 Like, but dude, I don't buy into people's rules about things.

00:31:53.740 I like to experience things on my own. 0.98

00:31:55.560 So, like, when someone says, oh, dude, first of all, they're going to tell you two, every time you go to France, they're going to tell you two fucking things. 0.96

00:32:02.380 They're going to tell you, one, the people are snotty and rude. 0.99

00:32:05.120 And then they're going to say, two, the girls have long armpit hair. 1.00

00:32:08.820 They're going to say those things.

00:32:10.160 The girls don't have good hygiene. 1.00

00:32:12.120 Well, I can tell you that both those things are fucking lies. 1.00

00:32:14.900 Yeah. 1.00

00:32:15.020 Okay?

00:32:16.980 If I had accepted that, which is the stigma around France and their culture, I wouldn't have enjoyed myself the way I did every time I went there.

00:32:26.220 Right.

00:32:26.860 You know what I mean?

00:32:27.600 Right.

00:32:28.080 No, totally. 1.00

00:32:28.340 And how many people miss out on their life because of bullshit that Joey and Tony and Bobby from the old neighborhood tell them about life when those three motherfuckers don't know shit? 1.00

00:32:40.560 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:32:41.500 I totally agree.

00:32:42.220 No, our whole American life these days is built on exceptions.

00:32:48.820 You take an example.

00:32:49.740 I mean, here's another example.

00:32:51.160 You take an example of, let's say, a college football player who basically is a good kid, consistently day in and day out, lives his life completely appropriately.

00:33:02.780 Oh, but then they find out that at some point during his eighth grade year, he used a racial slur on Twitter.

00:33:09.900 That's the exception, not the consistent tenor of his life.

00:33:17.760 Right.

00:33:18.080 And yet, what do people do? 1.00

00:33:19.100 They fucking destroy him. 1.00

00:33:20.220 They destroy him. 1.00

00:33:21.220 Yeah.

00:33:21.740 They use the exception basically to draw- 1.00

00:33:23.420 Like none of the motherfuckers who fucking are out there destroying him have ever done anything that they regret at fucking 12 years old. 1.00

00:33:30.960 Right. 1.00

00:33:31.160 But that's how we- 0.98

00:33:32.580 Now, I'm not excusing people's ignorance, obviously, but let's be fucking real. 0.97

00:33:37.580 No, no. 1.00

00:33:37.880 Every motherfucker listening right now, all of you, have said shit in private that you would not say in public. 1.00

00:33:44.540 Oh. 1.00

00:33:44.800 All of you have.

00:33:45.560 Absolutely.

00:33:46.220 Because you know that you would be destroyed for it. 0.98

00:33:48.740 I've never jumped on someone's bandwagon to tear someone down no matter what the fuck they did because I know that, you know what, I'd be a hypocrite if I did that because I've done shit when I was younger that I was embarrassed of. 0.99

00:34:02.040 I've done shit when I'm older that I was embarrassed of. 0.99

00:34:05.480 Everybody does shit they're embarrassed of. 0.99

00:34:07.800 And sometimes it's things that you don't like and don't understand. 1.00

00:34:12.180 But what you should understand is that, dude, everybody's growing, everybody's learning, and if you want people to actually get better, stop trying to destroy them for every fucking mistake they make. 0.99

00:34:23.380 Like, dude, I cannot stand these motherfuckers on social media who make a name for themselves by just calling everybody out. 0.99

00:34:30.400 Like, oh, I'm going to call it. 1.00

00:34:31.600 Good. 0.99

00:34:32.080 Fucking do it. 1.00

00:34:32.780 I don't care. 1.00

00:34:33.700 Oh, I'm going to call you out. 1.00

00:34:35.080 That's the weakest shit I've ever fucking heard in my life. 1.00

00:34:37.620 And by the way, when you do that shit, let me tell you something. 1.00

00:34:40.400 Eventually, someone's going to do it to you, and it's going to be a thousand times worse. 1.00

00:34:45.640 So just remember that before you do it.

00:34:47.800 Absolutely.

00:34:48.440 Dude, you know, I believe that karma is a real thing.

00:34:51.880 I'm not a Buddhist or, you know, anything like that.

00:34:55.080 But I have seen in my life too much evidence to believe that it doesn't exist.

00:35:04.940 Good things generally happen to good people.

00:35:07.600 This is exactly what I was talking about a minute ago.

00:35:08.940 Now, if you do good, generally good happens.

00:35:12.020 You may not be a super billionaire, and you may not be, but you're going to have a decent life.

00:35:17.220 You know what I'm saying? 0.98

00:35:18.520 If you do bad, your life's going to suck. 0.99

00:35:21.780 It's pretty simple. 1.00

00:35:23.620 I believe that.

00:35:24.580 Do you believe that?

00:35:25.460 Yeah, I do.

00:35:26.900 Are there exceptions?

00:35:27.940 Yes.

00:35:28.140 Yeah, there are exceptions.

00:35:29.280 I guess I would tweak that and just say—well, no, let me put it this way.

00:35:33.760 If you—I mean, one of the reasons that I am a Christian and I believe in the Bible is that I believe that the principles in the Bible work.

00:35:39.800 I mean, you treat people with kindness.

00:35:41.920 You work hard.

00:35:43.000 A lot of the things they talk about in the Ten Commandments.

00:35:44.780 If you follow those, you form a character that ends up contributing to your overall success in life.

00:35:52.160 The only thing I would say, and I'm not trying to be an asterisk hole, is that I do think that the mystery of the universe is sometimes good things happen to crappy people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people.

00:36:03.060 I'm not saying that.

00:36:03.860 Yeah.

00:36:04.220 No, but on balance, I agree with you.

00:36:05.920 I am not saying that bad things don't happen to great people, because they do.

00:36:10.840 Yeah.

00:36:11.160 That's not what I'm saying.

00:36:12.660 I'm saying, generally, people who are good and attempt to do what's right generally have much, much, much less bad happen to them than people who don't do that.

00:36:27.180 Yeah.

00:36:27.500 That's what I'm saying.

00:36:28.100 I think that's true.

00:36:28.560 I think that's true.

00:36:29.220 Yes.

00:36:29.500 Yeah, no question.

00:36:30.360 I mean, yeah, for sure.

00:36:32.600 I mean, again, going back to basic principles that, not just in the Bible, but that are generally held by all religions, basic codes of morality, if you operate like that, again, you form virtue, you form character, and it guides your actions, and hopefully you're not creating problems for yourself.

00:36:51.740 You're living life the way that was meant to be lived.

00:36:53.980 You know what I'm saying?

00:36:54.520 Well, you just said it, bro.

00:36:55.720 Create problems for yourself.

00:36:57.280 Yeah.

00:36:57.580 That's what happens.

00:36:58.880 Yeah.

00:36:59.060 And people do bad things, then problems appear, and then they look at God, and they say, why do you hate me?

00:37:06.780 Right.

00:37:07.240 Bro, God doesn't hate you.

00:37:08.640 You hate you.

00:37:09.300 Right.

00:37:09.760 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:37:10.440 Like, do a little bit better, and a little bit better shit's going to happen to you. 0.99

00:37:13.300 Do a lot better, and your life isn't going to turn around in one day. 0.99

00:37:17.080 Right. 0.99

00:37:17.360 We're talking about, but in six months or a year, fuck, I've seen it happen. 0.98

00:37:23.160 I have seen people completely transform their lives. 0.98

00:37:25.520 Right.

00:37:25.700 Dude, I've seen people who were multi-multi-millionaires, kicking ass and everything, not living really that good, lose everything, change their life around, and come back even better. 0.63

00:37:36.920 I've seen it over and over.

00:37:38.820 So, I can't, you could point out all the little exceptions to that that you want to, but you're not going to convince me that karma isn't real.

00:37:50.200 You know what I mean?

00:37:51.560 I hear you.

00:37:52.260 So, as you're talking, I'm just thinking about going back to the movie.

00:37:58.620 You know, we talked about how the theme is that your actions have consequences.

00:38:03.700 You're held accountable for certain things.

00:38:05.620 And then you, and then we sort of transitioned into just this discussion that, you know, the media, popular culture, we want to treat people like if they do something wrong, that just defines them.

00:38:18.960 Right?

00:38:19.200 Like, I use the example of the kid in the college football team or whatever.

00:38:24.360 But, what I love about this movie is that it really does show that human beings are pretty complex creatures.

00:38:31.780 Like, all of us have a really good quality to ourselves, but I think we all have demons, too.

00:38:39.160 And I think that's what I really liked about this movie is that, you know, sometimes when movies were made in the old days, you had the guy with the white hat, you had the black hat.

00:38:49.760 And I definitely believe in right and wrong, and I believe in good and evil.

00:38:52.980 But the reality is that sometimes the guy with the black hat was just presented in a way that he just wasn't human at all.

00:38:59.300 There was nothing laudable about him.

00:39:01.180 There was nothing valuable about him.

00:39:03.940 And what I love about this movie is that it just shows the complexity of human beings, whereas you have these gangsters.

00:39:08.940 But, man, like, the scene, some of the scenes where Robert De Niro's character has to, you know, kill somebody.

00:39:16.200 Yeah.

00:39:16.480 And you could tell, like, he's wrestling with it.

00:39:18.780 He didn't want to.

00:39:19.440 He was wrestling with it.

00:39:20.920 He had guilt on his face.

00:39:22.780 He was wrestling with a conscience.

00:39:24.300 You know what?

00:39:25.040 It's hard to do the right thing sometimes.

00:39:26.380 It is.

00:39:26.880 It's hard to do the right thing sometimes.

00:39:28.800 And sometimes when people are actively doing the wrong thing, they know it.

00:39:32.920 Right.

00:39:33.160 They know they're doing the wrong thing, and it creates a tension in their heart.

00:39:36.200 And I tell you, one of my favorite scenes, and this isn't really, like, a spoiler, but one of my favorite scenes is when, so, Russ Buffalino is basically the mentor of Robert De Niro's character, Frank Sheeran.

00:39:49.320 And on Frank's birthday, Russ gives him a ring, and there's this moment of friendship between them where Russ is basically saying, there's only really three rings like this that exist in the world, and I'm giving you one of them.

00:40:01.780 And you could tell there's this, like, fatherly, I don't know, it's really, like, for a man.

00:40:05.720 It's really powerful to look at.

00:40:07.680 Yeah.

00:40:08.820 Yeah.

00:40:09.760 Well, I don't know if we—

00:40:11.200 Well, that's a lesson, man.

00:40:13.580 Because sometimes when people work to make you a real part of something, they're going to ask you to do something real hard to earn it.

00:40:18.700 Right.

00:40:19.300 Exactly.

00:40:19.680 You know what I mean?

00:40:20.360 Exactly.

00:40:21.020 But, no, but it just—it's just a reminder that, like, you know, like you said, you're not in a hurry to pile on to people who make mistakes.

00:40:30.140 I think that's so—

00:40:32.140 The older I get—listen, there are politicians that I can't stand.

00:40:37.320 There are sports figures that I don't agree with their politics or I don't agree with their worldview.

00:40:42.740 There are any number of people that I don't agree with and that drive me nuts.

00:40:47.120 But the older I get, dude, the more I realize, man, nobody's all bad.

00:40:52.080 Dude, look.

00:40:52.800 Nobody's all bad. 0.82

00:40:53.220 If you find yourself as part of one of these angry mobs running around, it's a pretty good indication that you're a sheep.

00:41:00.560 Yeah.

00:41:01.120 That's the truth.

00:41:01.960 Absolutely. 0.99

00:41:02.320 Like, if you find yourself in the middle of a fucking, you know, torch and pitchforks and we're fucking getting them, let's go get them. 1.00

00:41:09.780 If you find yourself in that and you're, like, commenting on people's shit with that and you've got that mob mentality, you're a sheep. 1.00

00:41:16.360 Yeah. 0.99

00:41:16.700 It's the truth. 1.00

00:41:17.600 Now, I'm not saying there isn't times where people are wrong and you're going to say they're wrong, but just to be in it, to be in it, you're fucking sheep. 0.99

00:41:26.760 Yeah. 0.99

00:41:27.400 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:27.900 I agree, but it's kind of the paradox of what it means to be human.

00:41:33.360 And I'm talking either way.

00:41:35.020 No, no, I get it.

00:41:36.160 Well, I mean, a perfect example, we've already talked about it, I think, maybe we never talked about this, but that big flap recently where Ellen went to a game with George W. Bush and people are like, ah, I can't believe that Ellen's friend with George W. Bush and George W. Bush is friends with Ellen.

00:41:50.960 And they're going crazy and, like, all the, like, really radical gay people are like, he's a conservative Republican. 0.96

00:41:55.640 How could you dare be friends with the enemy? 0.99

00:41:57.900 And, of course, all the radical Christian conservatives are like, George, how could you be friends with a lesbian? 1.00

00:42:04.080 You know, and it's like, you people are nuts. 1.00

00:42:07.160 You're insane. 1.00

00:42:08.440 Look, man. 0.99

00:42:08.820 You honestly don't think that we can recognize the differences that we have?

00:42:11.800 It's lack of awareness.

00:42:12.840 It is.

00:42:13.540 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:42:14.620 They don't teach you that shit. 1.00

00:42:16.300 They don't teach people to become aware. 0.99

00:42:18.780 You know, just because you accept someone for who they are doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they do or say.

00:42:26.600 You know, we have this thing in society right now where, like, if you don't agree with the way someone lives, you've got to hate them.

00:42:31.580 That's just not right.

00:42:33.680 You know what I mean?

00:42:34.380 Oh, absolutely.

00:42:34.660 Like, there's a lot of people I'm friends with where I don't agree with everything they do.

00:42:38.300 I mean, honestly, a lot of people.

00:42:40.480 Like, a lot of my friends.

00:42:41.740 Yeah.

00:42:41.920 They're actually the most interesting friends I have because, you know what, we have real conversations.

00:42:46.920 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:42:47.740 Like, how much are you missing out on in life by just living inside your own little fucking bunker of judgment? 0.99

00:42:54.380 You're not just living. 0.99

00:42:55.500 You're not just missing out, dude.

00:42:57.200 What you're really secretly saying is that deep down, I'm not really certain about my beliefs enough that I want to get around people that might challenge them.

00:43:05.600 Yeah, that's true, man.

00:43:06.240 That's what they're saying.

00:43:06.900 They're saying, I'm not secure and confident that what I believe is actually true, so I'm just going to surround myself with everybody who agrees with me.

00:43:15.720 Vaughn, we don't have—like, look.

00:43:19.740 Look, I mean, unless it's under the context of comedy, you really can't say anything anymore without people getting pissed.

00:43:27.020 No, and even under the context of comedy.

00:43:29.520 Jerry Seinfeld said that he was no longer going to go to college campuses because people were so— 0.99

00:43:34.160 They're ridiculous. 0.98

00:43:34.660 He can't say anything without people getting bent out of shape. 0.99

00:43:37.460 Those people are going to have a hard time making it in real world.

00:43:40.000 Yeah.

00:43:40.420 Because guess what? 1.00

00:43:41.660 You're going to have to work with fucking black people. 1.00

00:43:43.520 You're going to have to work with white people. 1.00

00:43:44.960 You're going to have to work with gay people. 1.00

00:43:46.420 You're going to have to work with fucking trans people. 1.00

00:43:49.520 You're going to have to work with all different kinds of people. 1.00

00:43:52.900 And if you can't tolerate that, then you're fucked because that's reality. 0.99

00:43:57.720 You know what I'm saying? 0.98

00:43:58.280 Like, dude, there is a lot of people in my network that don't necessarily—like, they don't necessarily share my exact same beliefs about the world, right?

00:44:07.940 Okay.

00:44:08.960 Cool.

00:44:10.940 We can still have some beers.

00:44:12.420 Right.

00:44:12.680 You know what I'm saying?

00:44:13.280 Like, we could—let's talk about it.

00:44:16.120 I don't—like, dude, I just wish people were more able to have real discussions without having to attack other people.

00:44:25.760 You know, that's a big thing on social media culture, right?

00:44:28.660 Like, it's not—how many people do you see comment like this?

00:44:33.080 Hey, man, I see what you're trying to say, but I always kind of thought of it like this.

00:44:38.760 What do you think about that?

00:44:40.140 Like, you don't see that.

00:44:41.400 Yeah.

00:44:41.620 What do you see? 1.00

00:44:42.720 Dude, you're a fucking asshole. 1.00

00:44:44.280 Right. 1.00

00:44:44.680 Fuck you. 1.00

00:44:45.300 Like, dude, you're a moron. 1.00

00:44:47.320 Unfollow. 1.00

00:44:48.080 Good.

00:44:48.620 Yeah, bro.

00:44:49.160 Good.

00:44:49.700 Like, thank you. 1.00

00:44:50.200 See you, bitch. 1.00

00:44:50.980 Yeah. 1.00

00:44:51.260 Like, I don't care.

00:44:52.720 But that's the point, you know?

00:44:54.200 Like, we have this culture now that can't even communicate on a regular level.

00:45:01.780 Yeah.

00:45:02.840 Like, hey, dude, I get it.

00:45:05.460 You're different. 0.97

00:45:06.600 And like, how boring would it fucking be if everybody shared the same beliefs? 0.99

00:45:11.740 I mean, God. 0.99

00:45:13.860 You know?

00:45:14.220 No, I get it, man.

00:45:15.460 It's exhausting.

00:45:16.460 Like, it is exhausting.

00:45:17.760 It's exhausting.

00:45:18.780 It is.

00:45:19.440 Everybody here knows what I'm talking about.

00:45:20.980 Like, it's exhausting to go to a party now.

00:45:23.720 Why? 1.00

00:45:24.440 Because you're going to have those two fucking drunk motherfuckers that think they know everything 1.00

00:45:29.000 about everything, pushing their shit onto you the whole time. 1.00

00:45:33.020 It happens every time. 1.00

00:45:34.320 It does. 1.00

00:45:34.900 Every fucking... 0.99

00:45:35.920 You know why I stay at my house? 1.00

00:45:38.000 Because I don't want to go out and deal with those two motherfuckers who are going to drink... 1.00

00:45:42.460 You know, it's... 0.99

00:45:43.580 Dude, it's Susie Mom Minivan, the person I'm talking about here. 0.99

00:45:46.420 They're going to drink a gallon of fucking wine, and then they're going to tell you all 1.00

00:45:49.680 about the real world when they haven't done fucking shit. 1.00

00:45:53.680 Okay? 0.99

00:45:54.100 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:45:54.840 I don't want to hear your fucking point of view. 1.00

00:45:56.900 You're a moron. 1.00

00:45:58.040 Right. 1.00

00:45:58.220 The other thing that they do is that they try to find...

00:46:02.240 Like, if you're saying something that challenges them and challenges the way they think...

00:46:06.620 You're attacking them.

00:46:07.660 Well, not just that.

00:46:09.100 I'm telling you because I've dealt with this a lot.

00:46:13.940 They'll try to find something about you that they find objectionable so that they can therefore

00:46:19.540 disregard everything you say.

00:46:22.200 Right.

00:46:22.500 And this happens all the time.

00:46:24.080 I'm learning.

00:46:24.680 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:46:25.480 This happens to me all the time. 0.99

00:46:26.380 When I fucking write children's books, I don't have any kids. 0.99

00:46:29.320 Right. 1.00

00:46:29.420 So people say, who the fuck do you think you are? 1.00

00:46:31.580 You don't have any kids. 1.00

00:46:32.500 Well, you know what, motherfucker? 1.00

00:46:33.440 I've raised more kids than you'll ever fucking raise. 1.00

00:46:35.460 Right. 1.00

00:46:35.620 Because I've raised thousands of fucking 17 to 20-year-old kids inside my company. 1.00

00:46:41.060 And I've had to fix all your stupid shit. 1.00

00:46:43.400 Right. 1.00

00:46:43.440 So yeah, I've had a pretty good... 0.99

00:46:45.220 I have a pretty good perspective on how the fuck you're doing things. 0.99

00:46:48.640 Right. 0.99

00:46:49.040 And by the way, you're the reason I don't have any kids.

00:46:51.500 Right. 0.99

00:46:51.740 Because I don't want to have to spend all my time in the fucking... 0.99

00:46:54.860 What is it? 1.00

00:46:55.900 The fucking carpool line talking to you about the neighborhood fucking bull... 1.00

00:47:02.620 I don't give a shit. 1.00

00:47:03.460 Right. 0.99

00:47:03.940 You know what I mean?

00:47:04.560 Right.

00:47:04.760 I don't want to talk to you.

00:47:05.900 Right.

00:47:06.800 Oh, Andy, you think you're better than everybody.

00:47:08.520 No, I don't.

00:47:09.820 No. 1.00

00:47:09.940 I just don't want to talk to your fucking stupid ass. 1.00

00:47:11.900 Right. 1.00

00:47:12.700 Right.

00:47:12.980 Well, I saw some girl railing on social media the other day about Plato, you know, the philosopher Plato, whose writings...

00:47:20.820 I thought he said Plato.

00:47:21.900 No. 0.98

00:47:22.180 I'm like, break it the fuck out, man.

00:47:24.060 So the philosopher Plato...

00:47:26.200 Let's make some snakes. 0.94

00:47:26.860 Who's so many of his...

00:47:28.540 So many of his writings are like foundational to the ideals of Western culture and government and philosophy and all this.

00:47:37.600 But you know what she was saying?

00:47:39.180 Oh, he's a misogynist.

00:47:40.340 Because in one passage, he said that a man should rule over a woman.

00:47:44.960 Okay.

00:47:45.380 So here's the reality.

00:47:46.940 So he was wrong on that point.

00:47:49.240 It doesn't make everything he said suspect.

00:47:52.860 But I did a little research, and that's what's happening.

00:47:56.060 On college campuses, you have feminist professors who are basically saying, oh, Plato's a misogynist. 1.00

00:48:01.560 We can't listen to anything he said because he hated women. 0.92

00:48:04.960 I don't understand the whole feminist thing, to be completely honest. 1.00

00:48:08.320 Like, I don't really...

00:48:08.920 I've tried to ask about it, and the responses I get are so...

00:48:13.580 I can't grasp it because they always say the same thing.

00:48:17.860 We're for women. 0.99

00:48:19.520 Okay?

00:48:19.860 I'm for women, too.

00:48:20.620 Yeah.

00:48:20.840 Like, I guess I'm a feminist. 0.92

00:48:22.000 Like, I don't...

00:48:22.920 I love women more than men.

00:48:24.460 Like, I don't love that.

00:48:25.060 I do.

00:48:25.580 I do love women more than men.

00:48:27.380 You know?

00:48:28.420 No offense, guys. 0.97

00:48:29.800 But, like, let's be fucking real, man. 0.97

00:48:32.460 Like... 0.98

00:48:33.940 Yeah.

00:48:35.480 But you know what I'm saying?

00:48:36.400 Like, finding one thing objectionable.

00:48:38.300 Well, it's like, we do it all the time.

00:48:40.460 You know, I'm sorry.

00:48:41.680 I'm picking on the left because the left is responsible for this.

00:48:45.080 But it's like, the university professors are the talking heads.

00:48:49.220 They find out that, like, one of our presidents, you know, owned slaves.

00:48:54.220 Or one of them was, you know, fill in the blank.

00:48:58.960 And so suddenly, suddenly, we say, because of that, everything about this person is suspect.

00:49:05.660 Everything about this person should be rejected.

00:49:08.120 Bro. 0.93

00:49:08.340 And I just think it's ridiculous. 1.00

00:49:10.300 I live in Ulysses S. Grant's fucking house. 1.00

00:49:13.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:49:14.940 Motherfucker owned a couple slaves. 1.00

00:49:16.700 Yeah. 1.00

00:49:16.880 Then he freed them.

00:49:19.280 Right?

00:49:19.880 Right. 0.99

00:49:20.100 Then he went on and fucking won the Civil War for the North, which freed all slaves. 0.99

00:49:25.400 Right. 0.98

00:49:25.940 But there's probably somebody who...

00:49:28.220 Dude, every time someone hears that, they go on Wikipedia and they say, 0.99

00:49:32.760 did you know he owned fucking slaves? 0.99

00:49:34.200 I'm like, did you know he freed them all? 1.00

00:49:36.000 Like, what the fuck? 0.99

00:49:37.200 Right. 1.00

00:49:37.760 You know? 1.00

00:49:38.280 Like, sometimes people do shit and they realize, holy fuck, this isn't a good idea. 1.00

00:49:42.360 Right. 1.00

00:49:42.500 And here's what the even further point is, sometimes you got to do that shit that's not 0.99

00:49:46.500 a good idea to know it's a bad idea. 0.99

00:49:48.420 Right.

00:49:49.360 You get what I'm saying? 0.98

00:49:50.620 Like, dude, people, I don't even fucking get this line of thinking. 0.59

00:49:55.140 Or, sometimes you're just part of a time period or society where people just didn't know. 0.93

00:50:00.800 And I always laugh. 0.95

00:50:01.500 Well, I'm just saying, like, should you fucking discount everything else the man did? 0.89

00:50:04.300 Because when he was younger... 0.96

00:50:06.300 They would say yes.

00:50:07.060 And that's what I'm saying.

00:50:08.120 Wait, wait, wait.

00:50:10.100 So, how can you do that?

00:50:15.240 Like, how can you look at someone and say, this dude owned slaves in his 20s, then he 1.00

00:50:20.980 freed them all, but he's a piece of shit. 1.00

00:50:23.540 Right. 1.00

00:50:25.220 How do you know that he just wasn't brought up to fucking think that and then had a realization 0.99

00:50:29.480 that, holy shit, this isn't right? 0.99

00:50:31.740 Yeah. 0.99

00:50:31.920 And then decided to do good with it, which is exactly what the fuck happened. 0.97

00:50:35.800 Dude, this is what's so weird about modern society. 0.97

00:50:38.900 I'll tell you exactly how you do that.

00:50:40.860 And it happens on the far right with really, really fundamentalist Christian conservatives.

00:50:46.520 And it also happens on the far left with the social justice warriors.

00:50:51.100 And it happens on all sorts of different segments of society where people have very, very strong

00:50:56.180 views on something.

00:50:56.920 You know what happens?

00:50:57.480 They are so myopic in how they see the world that they see everything through their cause

00:51:02.820 and they look at some person and they say, that person disagrees with something I believe.

00:51:09.520 And they aren't, I hate this because it's an overused phrase, but they aren't self-aware

00:51:14.780 enough to know, you know what?

00:51:16.740 I could be wrong about some things.

00:51:18.720 I could, I could do, be doing things that really in hindsight are really horrible things.

00:51:23.020 They don't have the humility to, to, to say to themselves, you know what, but what it

00:51:28.180 is, it's self-righteousness.

00:51:29.920 And it's ironic because it happens, the social justice warriors.

00:51:32.800 What does the Bible say about this?

00:51:34.720 Oh, God opposes, God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

00:51:37.900 No, it says this.

00:51:39.100 What did Jesus say about throwing stones?

00:51:41.300 Oh, let he who is sinful cast the first stone.

00:51:43.260 Right.

00:51:43.560 Yeah.

00:51:44.280 People don't listen to that.

00:51:45.400 No, they don't.

00:51:46.160 They don't.

00:51:46.760 And, and by the way, cause I think it's important to make this, this statement because people,

00:51:50.760 and I know you weren't doing it, but people do this.

00:51:52.420 People take that, that passage in scripture and they, they then conclude that you can

00:51:59.400 never speak truth to somebody.

00:52:01.100 No.

00:52:01.560 No, you can't.

00:52:02.240 Truth is love. 0.99

00:52:02.920 You just can't do it in a way that says, I condemn you, you're worthless, you're a piece 1.00

00:52:07.960 of crap. 1.00

00:52:08.280 You can't bury people's lives because they made a fucking mistake. 1.00

00:52:13.860 That isn't like, dude, look, I know that's contradictory to what I'm saying about like when someone 0.99

00:52:19.120 hurts someone, you fucking hurt them back. 0.99

00:52:20.780 I believe in that, but I also believe that there's very few mistakes that should be life 0.99

00:52:26.620 ending.

00:52:27.460 And that's what people want. 0.99

00:52:28.800 They want to, they want to take the exception to someone's life and they want to fucking 0.99

00:52:33.920 bury them with it. 0.99

00:52:35.460 That is not okay.

00:52:37.100 It's not okay.

00:52:38.000 And that's, and that, you know, dude, I have people here that work in my building who have

00:52:42.160 been in prison.

00:52:43.760 Okay.

00:52:44.820 They've been in prison.

00:52:46.520 They're felons.

00:52:47.960 I hire them.

00:52:49.220 You know why I hire them? 0.97

00:52:50.420 Because I believe that there's fucking, why should someone not be able to work because 0.99

00:52:56.080 they made a fucking mistake when they were 20 years old? 0.99

00:52:59.480 That's not okay. 1.00

00:53:00.720 I agree.

00:53:01.200 You know what I mean?

00:53:01.880 I agree.

00:53:02.320 That's the point of prison. 1.00

00:53:03.740 Like the motherfucker paid his fucking dues. 1.00

00:53:06.800 He deserves a second chance if he's a good person, you know? 1.00

00:53:10.360 And too many people are not willing to do that. 0.99

00:53:12.720 Like, dude, you know how hard it is for a fucking felon to get a job? 0.99

00:53:17.680 It's hard. 1.00

00:53:18.660 It is.

00:53:19.200 Hard.

00:53:20.860 Hard. 1.00

00:53:21.220 But some of these dudes just made stupid mistakes, man. 1.00

00:53:25.040 Not all of these guys are like hardened criminals that like ran a fucking cartel and shit. 1.00

00:53:30.440 And like, it's just, dude, we just need a little bit more. 0.99

00:53:34.360 We just need to step back as a society and say, hey, man, all right.

00:53:39.620 Am I perfect?

00:53:40.600 No, I made mistakes. 0.99

00:53:42.000 I've done shit. 1.00

00:53:43.420 Like, would I want my shit to be posted on social media like that? 1.00

00:53:46.360 No, I wouldn't. 0.99

00:53:48.120 So let's not do that.

00:53:49.840 You know what I'm saying?

00:53:50.900 Like, if I don't agree with something you said or something you do, I'm going to respectfully address it.

00:53:56.320 It's interesting because what I feel like this conversation is saying is that we need to all as a society learn how and when to hold people accountable

00:54:04.760 and how and when to give people a break.

00:54:07.960 Like, you know, like that's a tension that's kind of hard.

00:54:12.440 Oh, there's no black and white.

00:54:13.800 What's that?

00:54:14.300 There's no black and white to it.

00:54:15.600 It's a nuance.

00:54:18.140 You know what I'm saying?

00:54:18.720 It takes a little bit of finesse to negotiate those things and people don't understand that.

00:54:24.780 They want everything to be yes or no.

00:54:27.000 But when they look inside their own lives at their own actions, very few of your own actions or thoughts are yes or no.

00:54:33.120 There's a lot of different things in between that go into those things and people forget that.

00:54:36.760 Right?

00:54:37.820 And ultimately, yes, I agree that people should be in control of their bodies and their minds.

00:54:41.800 But that's a process as well.

00:54:43.860 And it takes awareness. 0.98

00:54:45.280 And so what we're talking about here is really just lack of awareness on fucking everybody. 0.98

00:54:49.840 You know? 0.97

00:54:50.640 And I don't know.

00:54:53.300 I think people are getting tired of it.

00:54:57.520 I think just like us.

00:54:58.540 Like, we're talking right now. 1.00

00:54:59.500 The more and more I talk to people, the more and more people are just so sick of this shit that we're getting fed and getting forced down our throats. 1.00

00:55:08.420 You know? 1.00

00:55:08.620 You go around the real world. 0.97

00:55:10.500 There's not like this crazy fucking tension between everybody. 0.96

00:55:15.240 It's not real. 1.00

00:55:16.220 It's fake shit they want you to believe so that you watch. 1.00

00:55:19.320 Right. 1.00

00:55:19.460 You know?

00:55:20.360 And it's sad.

00:55:22.660 Because, dude, it's hurting people.

00:55:24.900 It's hurting society.

00:55:25.800 It's hurting culture.

00:55:26.420 And it's making, I don't know, it's making people feel like they're really suffocating.

00:55:33.440 Because, like, now you can't even express yourself unless you're expressing yourself under a certain narrative that fits the media's narrative.

00:55:42.940 And if you don't express yourself in that narrative, then all of a sudden you're the devil.

00:55:47.060 And they're going to use their power to flex on you.

00:55:49.500 And this goes from traditional media, social media.

00:55:52.520 You know?

00:55:52.900 It's that whole mob mentality.

00:55:54.840 You know what I mean?

00:55:55.400 It's, dude, it happened to me.

00:55:58.700 It's happened to me before on social where people have, you know, I said something on the podcast, the old podcast, or I said something in a status or a story.

00:56:07.860 And then, you know, somebody takes it to their little focus group way over here. 0.98

00:56:11.980 And then they get all their friends to come over and fucking trap. 1.00

00:56:14.700 Like, dude, fuck off with that shit. 1.00

00:56:16.700 Like, that shit is over. 1.00

00:56:17.780 Nobody's scared of that shit no more. 1.00

00:56:19.680 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:56:20.660 I agree.

00:56:21.340 I think more and more people are just going to say, like, listen, if people are going to get up in arms about everything, then I'm not going to really worry about what I say.

00:56:30.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:56:30.580 That's right.

00:56:30.940 Yeah.

00:56:31.360 I think more and more you're going to have.

00:56:33.220 Well, that's a big part of why we're even doing this show.

00:56:35.760 Yeah.

00:56:35.960 Because when we were doing the old show under the business context, I would say certain things and I'd have people fucking hit me up and be like, well, I don't really agree that that's how you should be living.

00:56:45.700 Well, you know what? 0.99

00:56:46.220 I don't give a fuck how you think I should be living. 0.99

00:56:48.560 I don't really care. 0.98

00:56:50.280 I'm doing what I think is best.

00:56:51.920 And I suggest that you do the same.

00:56:54.460 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:56:55.100 And in business, people do this shit where they try to leverage you. 0.99

00:56:58.040 Oh, I won't be a customer. 1.00

00:56:59.340 Okay.

00:57:00.140 Don't be a customer. 1.00

00:57:01.100 I don't give a fuck. 1.00

00:57:02.640 The ones who are here, yes, I love you. 0.99

00:57:04.740 If you're not going to be that, cool.

00:57:06.740 I respect that too. 1.00

00:57:08.480 But I'm not a role model for your fucking kids, man. 0.99

00:57:11.760 I might write some kids books because I have some shit to say, but that doesn't mean they should be doing everything I fucking do and I wouldn't want them to. 1.00

00:57:18.300 I don't want these kids to talk like I talk. 0.99

00:57:20.320 I can't help the way I talk.

00:57:21.920 Yes, I could improve the way I talk if I want to.

00:57:24.200 When I'm around your mother and your grandmother, I'll keep my mouth clean.

00:57:28.620 I'm capable of that.

00:57:29.560 But you know what? 0.99

00:57:30.080 This is who the fuck I am. 1.00

00:57:31.240 Right. 0.99

00:57:31.580 That's how I speak. 0.99

00:57:32.540 And any motherfucker that'll tell you in real life, that's how I am. 0.99

00:57:36.240 That's how I speak when I'm on stage. 0.99

00:57:37.540 That's how I speak here.

00:57:38.420 And it's how I speak at home.

00:57:40.500 You know what I mean?

00:57:41.400 Absolutely.

00:57:41.900 Well, it's people that don't understand that there's always a context to things.

00:57:45.680 If somebody were to ask me, do you believe in the Bible?

00:57:47.380 I'd say, yes.

00:57:48.340 But there's stories in the Bible I'm not going to read my kids right now because they're not old enough for it.

00:57:52.160 You mean like Revelations?

00:57:53.320 Yeah. 0.91

00:57:53.640 And scare the shit out of them? 0.82

00:57:54.820 Yeah, right. 0.91

00:57:55.260 Exactly.

00:57:55.480 Dude, when I was like old enough, when I learned how to read, I went right to Revelations.

00:57:58.220 Yeah, man. 0.99

00:57:58.760 I'm like, dude, check this shit out. 0.99

00:58:00.680 But I mean, there's some pretty graphic stories in the Old Testament in particular. 0.99

00:58:03.140 You know what got me to read it?

00:58:04.380 The movie Ghostbusters.

00:58:06.000 Oh, yeah.

00:58:06.600 That's funny.

00:58:07.320 You know when they're going across the bridge in the car and one of the dudes is like, it's Revelations when the moon turns to blood. 1.00

00:58:16.600 And I'm like, damn, I got to read about this shit. 1.00

00:58:18.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:58:18.560 I went and opened it up, man. 1.00

00:58:19.680 I read that shit. 1.00

00:58:20.260 That was the first thing I ever read in the Bible. 1.00

00:58:22.100 Fun fact that most pastors know. 0.99

00:58:24.580 Does that make me fucked up? 0.99

00:58:25.400 No, it doesn't. 0.98

00:58:26.240 But fun fact that most pastors know, if you really want to draw a crowd, preach on Revolution.

00:58:31.260 Because everybody wants to come listen to what Revolution has to say.

00:58:33.980 It's crazy.

00:58:34.540 Yeah, yeah.

00:58:34.840 It is crazy. 1.00

00:58:34.940 It's like the craziest fucking zombie movie ever. 1.00

00:58:38.480 Yeah, it's apocalyptic literature for sure. 0.99

00:58:40.600 It's a hard one to understand.

00:58:42.300 But no, man, I don't know.

00:58:47.900 Let's talk about, without giving away too much, let's talk about the ending of that movie.

00:58:56.400 Okay.

00:58:57.040 What about it?

00:58:57.700 Well, you had two guys that did some pretty horrible things.

00:59:02.360 And I think the implication is that they ended okay.

00:59:05.560 They ended well.

00:59:09.060 Kind of made their peace with God type of thing.

00:59:11.640 Hey, man.

00:59:13.900 Look.

00:59:15.740 This is why core values are so important.

00:59:17.800 Yeah.

00:59:17.960 Like, you have to know what you stand for.

00:59:23.220 And you have to know what you believe.

00:59:25.140 And you have to know who you are and what you're willing to do and not do.

00:59:29.020 And at the end of the day, if you've lived a life that's congruent with those, and it's not necessarily, it doesn't necessarily have to be society's rules.

00:59:40.720 It could be your rules.

00:59:42.160 You know what I mean?

00:59:42.880 Now, if you go out and break the law, you're going to have to pay the consequences.

00:59:46.640 But there's lots of people that don't even understand the idea of having a value system drive their actions.

01:00:00.000 They're just kind of running around like crazy.

01:00:03.840 So, I don't know.

01:00:04.760 The way I took the end was like, hey, man, this dude lived his code.

01:00:09.100 He lived what was, it may not have been the police's code.

01:00:13.080 It may not have been the United States code.

01:00:15.260 And it certainly wasn't.

01:00:16.540 But he lived true to himself.

01:00:18.660 And at the end, I think that's why he found peace.

01:00:21.380 You know?

01:00:21.660 And that's what we talk about, right?

01:00:22.880 Like, in society right now, living true to yourself.

01:00:25.880 People don't know what that means.

01:00:27.500 Like, what do you think that means?

01:00:29.560 Well, I think in the movie, there's definitely.

01:00:34.220 Dude, I'll say this, bro.

01:00:35.580 You know why I got tired of doing the whole podcast?

01:00:37.380 Because I felt like I wasn't being true to myself.

01:00:39.660 That's the truth.

01:00:40.660 I felt, every time I sat down, I felt like I was saying things I already said.

01:00:46.600 I felt like I was doing it for, really, my own ego at that point.

01:00:51.900 If I had continued to do it, it definitely would have been that.

01:00:56.300 And that's not what's important.

01:00:59.360 You know what I mean?

01:00:59.680 What's important is I feel the need to contribute.

01:01:02.940 Now, once I don't contribute anymore, then I will pull myself out of that game.

01:01:06.740 So, I feel like I contributed as much as I could in that space.

01:01:11.780 And now, I can be more true to myself.

01:01:14.880 So, when I'm sitting here talking as Andy, not as the MFCEO, I'm happier. 0.99

01:01:21.840 Even though, I know, for sure, there's going to be a lot more people that are like, fuck you, Andy, because of the things that we're talking about. 0.99

01:01:30.580 But I'm okay with that. 1.00

01:01:32.420 Yeah.

01:01:33.020 You know?

01:01:33.720 No, I hear what you're saying.

01:01:34.980 I guess I, you know, I feel like at the end of the movie, there was some recognition on the part of both of those guys that they hadn't done everything right.

01:01:45.460 You know what I'm saying?

01:01:46.960 I think they knew that the whole time.

01:01:50.540 Oh, I think they knew it.

01:01:51.480 But I think that's part of the reason I think that they were at peace at the end, that they just kind of came to the conclusion that they realized that they had done some wrong.

01:02:00.320 Yeah.

01:02:00.420 And they were owning up to it.

01:02:01.740 Yeah.

01:02:03.540 But I think what I thought, here's where my mind went, is that I've met some people over the course of my life who their whole life, you know, from the standards of, you know, religion or whatever, they would say that they did everything right.

01:02:20.600 They followed all the Ten Commandments.

01:02:22.200 They, you know, were squeaky clean little people and they were, you know, button-up shirts and sweater vests and had their hair parted on the side and they just never did anything wrong.

01:02:30.640 And I feel like those kinds of people look at guys like that and they go, wait a minute.

01:02:39.340 They were a gangster.

01:02:41.480 They killed people. 0.98

01:02:42.980 They did horrible things.

01:02:45.060 They shouldn't end their life in peace like that.

01:02:47.220 They shouldn't, they shouldn't be, they should, they should be in jail, like rotting away. 1.00

01:02:51.200 They should be killed by firing squad or whatever. 0.99

01:02:53.900 And what I, what I say is I say, no, I, I think God is really merciful. 0.99

01:02:59.060 Like, I think he's really gracious.

01:03:00.440 I mean, that's the whole point.

01:03:01.760 That's the message I like to communicate with my life is that when we recognize that, when we humble ourselves and when we recognize that we haven't done anything, everything right,

01:03:10.200 there's forgiveness and there's redemption and that's kind of what I saw at the end there is I saw those guys go, yeah, I kind of royally screwed up.

01:03:20.540 Well, don't you think that setting yourself up against a standard that is unachievable in terms of quote unquote holiness is a reflection of an inflated ego in the first place?

01:03:37.080 I think so. I think the people that, I think the people that are really, we'll use the word holiness, I think the people who are really holy.

01:03:47.480 You know what I'm saying.

01:03:47.740 Yeah, no, no, but I think, I think there's a difference between people, people who seek to be quote unquote holy just because they want to look good to other people.

01:03:57.480 And they want, and then there's the people who seek to cultivate virtue and holiness in their life simply because they love God and they love other people.

01:04:04.540 You know, I mean, that's, that's really what the scripture says.

01:04:07.360 Jesus was asked, what's the greatest commandment?

01:04:08.980 He says, love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.

01:04:12.980 And so the people who are truly holy are the ones who are loving and, and they're motivated by love.

01:04:18.740 They're not motivated just to look good to other people.

01:04:21.200 Well, and you know what I'm saying, or to feel good about themselves.

01:04:23.360 You can tell the difference because the people who are trying to look good are the people who are also judging most people for not being as holy as them.

01:04:30.740 Oh, a hundred percent. 1.00

01:04:31.540 They're the ones sliding into my DMs telling me what, that's like that screenshot I shared with you last week where I got, you know, like the guy's so fucking stupid. 1.00

01:04:40.740 He doesn't realize that the whole MFCEO project is based around fucking the Bible. 1.00

01:04:45.760 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

01:04:46.560 Like the lessons in there are biblical.

01:04:49.020 They're just in a real way.

01:04:50.840 Like he missed the whole point.

01:04:52.760 Yeah.

01:04:52.900 Well, I'm guessing he, yeah, he made some assumptions about you.

01:04:56.540 Oh yeah, bro.

01:04:57.480 Of course.

01:04:58.480 Yeah.

01:04:58.680 What's your intention behind all of that?

01:05:01.300 You're rich.

01:05:03.440 Like, dude, you know what, man? 0.99

01:05:04.860 You know what the, what the fuck is a 10 commandment? 0.97

01:05:07.040 Thou shall not judge. 0.99

01:05:08.700 You know what I'm saying?

01:05:09.940 No, I tell you what, man. 1.00

01:05:10.820 Who the fuck are you to be in my DMs telling me how much I do? 0.99

01:05:13.540 Like he, he was like, well, what do you do for this person? 1.00

01:05:15.920 Or what do you do for that person?

01:05:17.060 And it's like, that's really none of your business.

01:05:19.740 Like, why don't you worry about yourself?

01:05:21.600 Right.

01:05:22.880 You know, because a real, a real person, they'll accept you. 1.00

01:05:26.780 You know, Jesus fucking hung out with prostitutes, bro. 1.00

01:05:30.580 Like, you know, he hung out with people who were criminals. 1.00

01:05:35.040 Yeah, for sure.

01:05:36.500 He didn't condemn them for the life they live.

01:05:38.920 What he did was he tried to show them through his own life a different way.

01:05:43.960 Right.

01:05:45.420 You see what I'm saying?

01:05:46.560 And that was, well, think about it.

01:05:48.220 But that's hard work.

01:05:49.180 It is hard work.

01:05:49.820 That's hard work.

01:05:50.420 It's hard work to show people with your life.

01:05:53.440 Right.

01:05:54.480 What the Bible and what those, that set of values is supposed to be.

01:05:59.340 It's much easier to point your finger and say, look at, look at you.

01:06:04.180 You're not as good as me.

01:06:06.040 Right.

01:06:06.660 It's a lot easier to do that.

01:06:07.700 Well, it's a lot easier.

01:06:09.060 And listen, dude, I mean, it's, it's, again, you know, way back when we started the other

01:06:13.240 podcast, which we're not going to talk about the other podcast a lot, just like you don't

01:06:17.100 talk about your old girlfriend a lot.

01:06:18.560 But, uh, but way back when we first started, you know, you were the one who started calling

01:06:23.440 me the pastor of disaster.

01:06:24.520 I never really made a big deal about it.

01:06:26.020 Um, I wasn't going to make a big deal about it mostly because dude, I'm, I'm, I've always

01:06:30.980 been kind of really sober minded and kind of scared about holding myself up as some

01:06:35.760 sort of spiritual role model.

01:06:37.500 And it's because the older I get, the more I, the more I understand, like I, frankly,

01:06:42.840 I don't get people who spend all their time pointing fingers at other people because I'm

01:06:46.860 like, I know I am so aware of my own shortcomings and my own failures.

01:06:52.740 Like I got to take care of my own stuff.

01:06:54.760 You know what I'm saying?

01:06:55.180 Oh, that's a whole nother topic, brother.

01:06:57.000 Yeah.

01:06:57.260 Like that's a whole nother topic.

01:06:59.040 Like, by the way, that's not to say, I do believe there is a place for calling people

01:07:03.640 to up their game.

01:07:05.440 And I think there's a, there's a place to do it, but you're right.

01:07:08.280 There's a way to do it. 0.99

01:07:09.200 Instead of saying, explain yourself to me, like you're the fucking inquisition. 0.99

01:07:14.080 How about this? 0.98

01:07:15.380 How about, Hey man, I really appreciate what you're doing.

01:07:17.820 I think you're doing a lot of good.

01:07:19.200 Have you ever thought about these and these things or what's your take on that?

01:07:21.760 Yeah.

01:07:22.120 Like, isn't that a more reasonable way to communicate?

01:07:23.900 Yeah.

01:07:24.540 Then I'm saying, and then instead of me saying, instead of me screenshotting it, sending all 1.00

01:07:28.640 my friends and saying, look at this dumb motherfucker. 1.00

01:07:30.620 Right. 1.00

01:07:30.980 I'm actually responding back and saying, well, you know what, brother?

01:07:34.120 Here's what I think.

01:07:35.200 Yeah.

01:07:35.640 You know what I mean?

01:07:36.220 Yeah.

01:07:36.820 Asking questions.

01:07:37.720 That's it.

01:07:38.100 By the way, you're not going to be surprised to know that if you, if you looked at the

01:07:43.000 four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and you, and you highlighted all the verses

01:07:46.880 where Jesus is asking questions.

01:07:48.420 How many curse words are in there?

01:07:50.480 Not too many. 1.00

01:07:51.340 Maybe ass. 1.00

01:07:52.140 There's a few though, right? 1.00

01:07:53.180 Scubula?

01:07:54.320 Scubula.

01:07:54.760 No, that's in Paul's letter to the Philippians.

01:07:57.920 Scubula.

01:07:58.520 Yeah.

01:07:58.920 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:59.480 That means bullshit, right? 1.00

01:08:00.780 It means, yeah. 1.00

01:08:01.620 It's a slang term.

01:08:02.620 It's a colloquial reference to feces.

01:08:05.360 Yeah.

01:08:06.080 So, but.

01:08:07.280 So, you don't want one of them Scubula sandwiches?

01:08:11.220 No.

01:08:11.900 I've made a few of those in my life.

01:08:13.380 Yeah.

01:08:14.280 There's another great, well, we won't get off on that tangent.

01:08:16.660 Let's start that hashtag, Scubula Sandwich.

01:08:18.500 Yeah, right.

01:08:19.440 But no, no, but if you go through the.

01:08:23.260 Hey, come on. 0.77

01:08:24.280 How funny are we today?

01:08:25.860 Make sure you talk about it.

01:08:26.700 I don't know.

01:08:26.980 We've been funny at different parts.

01:08:27.680 Yeah, talk about it.

01:08:28.300 Yeah, that's true.

01:08:28.740 Tell everybody we're going to be funny.

01:08:29.760 We're going to be super funny.

01:08:30.680 All right.

01:08:31.120 Yeah, super humorous.

01:08:33.060 No, but if you go through the Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,

01:08:35.380 you highlight all the times that Jesus actually asked people questions.

01:08:39.040 It's literally dozens and dozens of times.

01:08:41.860 Like, that's, I think, the key of anybody who really wants to influence

01:08:45.700 and make an impact on people.

01:08:47.620 Listen.

01:08:48.660 Ask questions.

01:08:50.000 Doesn't mean that there won't be a time for you to drop the truth on them,

01:08:52.680 because obviously we drop the truth on people.

01:08:54.740 But you've got to listen.

01:08:55.660 You've got to figure out where they're coming from,

01:08:56.920 because how can you even talk to people if you don't know where they're coming from?

01:08:59.460 Yeah.

01:08:59.800 So, no, man, I.

01:09:01.700 Well, I think people, even, like, I could tell you for me,

01:09:04.820 I'm just, because I'm me, and I can only speak for me.

01:09:07.700 But I could tell you that lots of people completely misunderstand the context of what I'm about.

01:09:13.820 Yeah.

01:09:14.160 Completely missed it.

01:09:15.340 Yeah. 0.99

01:09:16.280 They think, like, when I post shit, I'm doing it to flex. 0.99

01:09:20.820 And I am a little bit. 0.99

01:09:21.740 Let's be real.

01:09:22.760 But the truth is, is that I'm actually trying to show people 1.00

01:09:26.080 that a stupid motherfucker like myself can actually build something kind of cool 1.00

01:09:30.500 if you're willing to pay for it. 1.00

01:09:32.280 Right.

01:09:32.500 You know what I mean?

01:09:33.360 Right.

01:09:34.660 So, I don't know, man.

01:09:38.300 Like, I feel like people just don't, I guess you said it, man. 0.99

01:09:43.240 They just don't fucking listen or think. 0.99

01:09:45.120 They don't. 1.00

01:09:45.900 They're so quick to jump in.

01:09:48.080 Everybody wants to talk.

01:09:49.240 Yeah, man.

01:09:49.860 Yeah. 1.00

01:09:51.060 Oh, fuck. 1.00

01:09:52.080 And I'll tell you what. 1.00

01:09:54.440 That little clown circus in the entrepreneur space is full of that shit. 1.00

01:09:58.400 Oh, my God. 1.00

01:09:59.500 Like, dude, I can't even.

01:10:03.100 It's just an ego fest is what it's turned into.

01:10:05.700 You know, who can yell the loudest? 1.00

01:10:07.100 Who could say the most catchy shit? 0.99

01:10:09.240 You know, that's not even catchy. 0.99

01:10:11.140 Like, you know. 0.97

01:10:11.820 You know, and who could speak the most confusing shit to people that makes them ask questions 0.99

01:10:18.680 so they get more engaged. 0.99

01:10:19.600 Like, it's just, it's just ridiculous.

01:10:21.840 You know, hey, let me confuse people so I can get more engagement on my post.

01:10:25.800 Let me say what people, let me say what people are hot on right now so I can get more engagement

01:10:30.040 on my post. 0.99

01:10:30.760 You got motherfuckers who have never even built something from zero telling everybody how they 1.00

01:10:37.060 should do it when they don't even fucking know. 1.00

01:10:39.660 You know, it's just, it's just a joke. 1.00

01:10:41.640 It's a fucking joke. 0.99

01:10:43.280 I'm glad we're not doing that. 0.99

01:10:45.180 I agree.

01:10:45.580 Well, this is going to be fun, especially since, you know, I think the other thing that,

01:10:48.840 that I like about the way that we do things, I don't think the people that you just referred

01:10:56.400 to, the circus, when they make a genuine bona fide mistake, they don't, they don't admit

01:11:01.940 it.

01:11:02.320 Oh, dude, it's because their eagles are too big.

01:11:04.480 And I remember about a year ago, I said something offhand in the podcast, and it was factually

01:11:11.700 untrue about something the Bible teaches.

01:11:13.700 I had, I just misspoke.

01:11:14.940 Yeah.

01:11:15.220 And somebody really took me on on that.

01:11:16.780 And I think they expected me to like dig in and defend.

01:11:19.880 And I was like, oh, dude, you're right.

01:11:21.120 Yeah.

01:11:21.480 I shouldn't have said that.

01:11:22.260 Yeah.

01:11:22.620 My bad.

01:11:23.360 Yeah.

01:11:23.720 I'm not pulling it down.

01:11:24.560 Dude, I had a dude, I had a dude, I had a guy we both know reach out to me yesterday and

01:11:29.040 DMs and he said, hey man, I watched your story.

01:11:31.980 Let me tell you how, why you're wrong.

01:11:33.900 And I read it.

01:11:35.180 And at the end of it, I thought about it for a minute and I just responded back.

01:11:38.680 I said, you're absolutely right.

01:11:40.120 Thank you.

01:11:40.960 Yeah.

01:11:41.460 Cause he was.

01:11:42.260 Yeah.

01:11:44.100 People don't know what to do with that.

01:11:46.020 Yeah. 0.99

01:11:46.540 Like, oh no, you want to fuck like, dude, I'll give you a little hint guys. 0.99

01:11:49.380 You want to, this was a, this was a genuine person who I really appreciate their feedback, 1.00

01:11:53.780 but you want to fucking fuck with people? 1.00

01:11:57.820 Just agree with them. 1.00

01:11:58.560 Yeah. 1.00

01:11:58.980 Like dude, you want people to fucking stop hating on you or talking shit to you. 1.00

01:12:02.620 Just agree with them and forget about it. 0.99

01:12:04.500 Like you'll save so much energy.

01:12:06.360 You're right, dude. 1.00

01:12:07.460 Your aunt, your aunt Linda at fucking Christmas time telling you you're a dumb ass for starting 1.00

01:12:11.180 a business. 1.00

01:12:12.000 You know what?

01:12:12.420 Aunt Linda, you're probably right.

01:12:14.160 I'm sorry.

01:12:15.960 People just do not know what to do. 1.00

01:12:17.460 Then hand her a fucking glass of wine and tell her to shut the fuck up. 1.00

01:12:19.860 You know what I'm saying? 1.00

01:12:22.440 Like, dude, it's just, it's come on, man.

01:12:25.280 What else is going on in the world, bro?

01:12:26.660 Cause I don't really even know. 0.99

01:12:27.840 I've had my head fucking down. 0.99

01:12:30.380 Well, I don't know if this is what you were referring to, but Alabama lost again. 0.99

01:12:35.140 Did they?

01:12:35.760 They did.

01:12:36.400 To who?

01:12:37.300 They lost to, uh.

01:12:40.240 Was it LSU?

01:12:41.440 Was it LSU?

01:12:43.000 Well, they lost to LSU and then they lost to somebody else recently.

01:12:46.260 So they've got two losses.

01:12:47.400 I forget who they lost.

01:12:48.040 Oh, Auburn.

01:12:48.500 They lost to Auburn.

01:12:50.180 So.

01:12:50.740 Oh.

01:12:51.200 Yeah, man.

01:12:52.700 So now everybody's, now everybody's going to be like, Nick Saban.

01:12:56.120 Fire him. 0.82

01:12:56.840 Fire him. 0.82

01:12:57.400 Yeah. 1.00

01:12:57.800 He's a fraud. 0.99

01:12:59.120 That's a whole nother thing. 0.99

01:13:00.900 No, but it's true. 1.00

01:13:02.000 Dude, how many of these dumb fucking athletic directors out there are firing coaches because 1.00

01:13:07.580 they lost one or two games and it's like, bro, you don't realize what you have. 1.00

01:13:12.560 Like, you got a fucking Clydesdale there. 0.99

01:13:15.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:13:15.320 And you just trade him in for a fucking donkey. 1.00

01:13:17.240 Yeah. 1.00

01:13:17.440 You know, because you, because the press was putting pressure on you. 1.00

01:13:20.860 Fuck the press. 1.00

01:13:21.760 Yeah. 1.00

01:13:22.320 Well, I think it's interesting.

01:13:23.420 I actually sort of have a longstanding appreciation and respect for the University of Nebraska,

01:13:29.040 their football program.

01:13:30.220 But way back in what?

01:13:32.440 Like 2000 or 1999.

01:13:35.020 I forget when they fired Frank Solich for going nine and three.

01:13:39.400 Yeah.

01:13:39.520 Now look at him.

01:13:40.600 Right.

01:13:41.380 And literally, I mean, they had some good years under Bo Pelini for a little while, but

01:13:45.400 basically, Nebraska's never been the same.

01:13:48.640 No.

01:13:48.920 Ever.

01:13:49.220 So it's always interesting to some, you know, to your point, karma.

01:13:55.600 That's right.

01:13:56.100 I mean, to some extent, you know what people I'm sorry, you don't fire a nine and three

01:14:00.360 coach.

01:14:01.060 Even if you're at a place like Nebraska, you don't.

01:14:03.340 I don't.

01:14:03.880 You know what?

01:14:04.840 I don't think so.

01:14:06.280 Not on, not on his.

01:14:07.940 I mean, if you did something outside of the code of ethics or what you expect.

01:14:10.740 Right.

01:14:11.040 Right.

01:14:11.140 Right.

01:14:11.500 But I mean, like performance.

01:14:13.220 No.

01:14:13.400 Yeah.

01:14:13.760 Not in today's day and age.

01:14:14.960 We're.

01:14:15.360 That's just people entitled.

01:14:16.640 College football.

01:14:17.120 That's entitlement.

01:14:18.200 Right. 0.98

01:14:18.340 We're entitled to fucking be undefeated every single year. 0.99

01:14:21.420 Right. 0.99

01:14:21.700 No, you're not.

01:14:22.580 Right.

01:14:22.900 That's why we compete.

01:14:24.440 Sometimes you execute.

01:14:25.820 Sometimes you don't.

01:14:27.280 I don't see that how that, you know, now if you have a coach who was undefeated for seven 0.98

01:14:32.960 years in a row and then they went fucking, you know, two and fucking 11. 0.98

01:14:37.920 Now we're talking a different story. 0.99

01:14:39.860 What's going on?

01:14:40.520 You smoking crack, bro?

01:14:41.500 Like, you know what I mean?

01:14:42.920 You better start drug testing people.

01:14:44.500 Right.

01:14:44.600 But I'm just saying. 1.00

01:14:46.680 People are fucking crazy. 1.00

01:14:48.080 Exactly. 1.00

01:14:48.660 Now, I will say.

01:14:50.920 I don't want to.

01:14:51.580 What is this?

01:14:52.380 We're talking about common sense here.

01:14:54.900 Yeah.

01:14:55.100 We're talking about the lack.

01:14:56.640 We're talking about an absence of logic. 0.99

01:14:59.300 Like, where the fuck is the logic? 0.98

01:15:01.760 There is none. 0.99

01:15:02.680 What is this?

01:15:03.480 We live in this highly emotional, crazy world that is just like.

01:15:08.340 It's insane.

01:15:09.560 Right.

01:15:09.980 And people are depressed. 1.00

01:15:11.600 They're fucking killing themselves. 1.00

01:15:13.340 They're killing other motherfuckers. 1.00

01:15:14.960 Like, dude, insert a little bit of logic. 1.00

01:15:17.940 Like, if you do this, this is going to happen.

01:15:21.120 Like, if you don't do this, this is going to happen.

01:15:24.480 Like, it's real simple.

01:15:26.180 Right.

01:15:26.520 People just make it so, so emotional and crazy.

01:15:30.940 And it's just, dude, it's crazy.

01:15:34.340 Like, it's crazy.

01:15:36.900 But hopefully people will continue to tune in and get a little break from the craziness by listening to us.

01:15:43.400 Yeah, where are we at anyway? 0.99

01:15:44.100 Well, you're crazy. 1.00

01:15:45.340 Fuck yeah, I'm crazy. 1.00

01:15:46.340 Yeah. 1.00

01:15:47.080 I'm a little crazy.

01:15:48.300 Oh, yeah? 1.00

01:15:48.640 You're so crazy, bro. 1.00

01:15:49.720 I am. 1.00

01:15:50.060 That's what people are. 1.00

01:15:50.900 You're so crazy. 1.00

01:15:51.580 I'm a bummer. 1.00

01:15:52.080 You got arrested one time, bro.

01:15:53.440 I did.

01:15:53.820 I did.

01:15:54.500 You got arrested.

01:15:55.260 I got arrested. 1.00

01:15:55.600 Why don't you tell people what you got arrested for, you fucking wild animal? 0.99

01:15:58.040 Well, I'm actually wearing, I'm currently wearing a cream colored. 1.00

01:16:01.160 You're wearing the same outfit.

01:16:03.300 Pretty close.

01:16:04.060 Yeah.

01:16:04.560 Pretty close.

01:16:05.520 I'm wearing, I don't know if you would call this a turtleneck or not, but it's something

01:16:09.420 like, it's like a little cream colored hoodie.

01:16:11.680 Ribbed hoodie.

01:16:12.840 Yeah.

01:16:14.220 Ribbed.

01:16:14.680 Super sharp.

01:16:15.520 Like that.

01:16:16.200 Yeah.

01:16:16.900 It's ribbed.

01:16:18.100 Ribbed sweaters are coming back, by the way.

01:16:19.820 Are they?

01:16:20.240 Yeah, they are.

01:16:20.800 At least among women.

01:16:21.600 I wouldn't know. 1.00

01:16:22.160 I only wear free shit for my own company. 0.99

01:16:24.500 Anyway, no. 0.99

01:16:25.880 So back in like 2000, I don't know.

01:16:29.060 Is this too embarrassing for you to tell?

01:16:30.540 Six?

01:16:30.860 No.

01:16:31.720 No, I got arrested.

01:16:32.800 Yeah.

01:16:33.100 I got arrested. 0.99

01:16:33.660 Fucking hardcore. 0.99

01:16:34.340 Hardcore. 1.00

01:16:34.780 Yeah.

01:16:35.280 What do we call you now?

01:16:36.900 The hardcore, the pastor of-

01:16:38.860 Pastor of the pen.

01:16:39.780 Pastor of the pen.

01:16:40.520 Yeah.

01:16:40.680 There we go.

01:16:41.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:41.880 No, I got arrested.

01:16:42.760 I was on my day off Thursday.

01:16:44.380 This was back when I was a pastor and a police officer from the RCPD came to my door and said,

01:16:49.460 who do we have here?

01:16:50.140 And I said, Von Kohler.

01:16:51.740 And he said, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside.

01:16:54.140 So I did.

01:16:55.460 He said, sir, I have to place you under arrest.

01:16:57.240 And apparently I looked terrified because I thought, you know-

01:17:01.520 You thought they found the bodies.

01:17:02.400 I thought they found the bodies, yeah.

01:17:04.720 Let the bodies hit the floor.

01:17:05.900 Yeah.

01:17:06.580 Anyway, is that how that line goes?

01:17:10.080 Bro, just keep going.

01:17:10.860 Okay.

01:17:11.060 Anyway, so he kind of, I don't know.

01:17:13.740 I thought I would have been falsely accused or something, but he said, hey, don't worry

01:17:16.580 about it.

01:17:17.340 You didn't pay a parking ticket.

01:17:19.620 You're so-

01:17:20.280 I'm like, dude, let me-

01:17:21.160 You're kidding me.

01:17:21.820 So how many bologna sandwiches did you get in jail?

01:17:24.640 Did you eat bologna?

01:17:25.460 Well, it was a rural penitentiary, so-

01:17:27.420 So what did they serve in there?

01:17:30.040 Biscuits and gravy?

01:17:30.820 Yeah, biscuits and gravy.

01:17:32.040 So dude, like when you were out in the yard, like what gang did you join?

01:17:35.200 Oh man.

01:17:35.860 Well, so they took me down to the pen and I said, well, wait a minute.

01:17:40.140 So I literally had to go to the-

01:17:41.940 He said, yeah, you didn't pay it and this is a warrant sweep and so you have to come down

01:17:45.620 and be arrested. 0.96

01:17:46.620 Did you have to like take off your belt and your shoes and all that shit? 0.99

01:17:49.420 I had to do all that. 0.84

01:17:50.440 Did you put the orange jumper on?

01:17:51.600 No, I didn't have to put the orange jumper on, but I had to go through the whole, they

01:17:54.660 call it processing, you know?

01:17:56.260 And so I was taking all this stuff out of my pockets and I don't, you know, I had just

01:18:01.940 all the-

01:18:02.420 All the guns and stuff?

01:18:03.320 I had all the guns and I had all the wads of cash and stuff.

01:18:07.180 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:07.680 The-

01:18:08.140 What do you call it?

01:18:08.920 The brass knuckles and stuff.

01:18:10.040 Yeah, I got it, yeah.

01:18:10.860 So- 1.00

01:18:11.340 You're laying all this shit out on the table. 1.00

01:18:12.680 Right. 1.00

01:18:13.040 Or are they-

01:18:13.440 They're just like, oh, it's cool because you're-

01:18:14.680 No, no, no.

01:18:15.020 So the guy looks at me and he says, okay, name, and I said, name, and he goes, kind

01:18:19.300 of looks, acts like he knows me, he goes, profession, and I said, pastor, and he burst

01:18:25.640 into laughter.

01:18:26.220 He's like, I knew I recognized you.

01:18:28.260 He's like- 1.00

01:18:28.460 Oh, bullshit. 1.00

01:18:29.120 No, he did. 1.00

01:18:29.740 He did.

01:18:30.180 No.

01:18:30.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:18:30.980 It was a lieutenant from-

01:18:32.280 This guy went to your church?

01:18:32.980 I got another story.

01:18:34.260 Yeah, no, no, no, but-

01:18:35.360 Come on.

01:18:35.800 But he goes, he goes, I thought that was you, Pastor Vaughn, and he goes, well, go start

01:18:40.220 your prison ministry.

01:18:40.960 So I went in there literally for the whole afternoon, and I sat on a bench with the other

01:18:45.980 offenders, and I literally sat there, and I was dressed in stonewashed jeans and a cream

01:18:53.000 colored rib turtleneck from the gap, and I had to wait, because I was in a line, I had

01:18:58.000 to wait to get my mug shot taken.

01:19:00.780 And there were these guys, and this guy next to me, I kid you not, this is exactly how it

01:19:04.500 worked.

01:19:04.980 He goes, hey, man, what'd they get you for?

01:19:08.420 And I go, so I made something up, and I said, well, have you ever gone to those places where

01:19:13.880 they have deep caverns, like Merrimack Caverns in Missouri?

01:19:17.180 I thought you were going to say quarters, and you watch porn or something.

01:19:19.880 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:19:21.340 No, he's like-

01:19:22.000 You probably asked to do for some quarters.

01:19:23.540 No, no, I told him, I said, you know that place, Merrimack Cavern, where it has a deep

01:19:27.180 cavern?

01:19:27.640 He's like, yeah.

01:19:28.580 I go, you know how they have those things that hang from the ceiling?

01:19:31.340 Like, they're millions of years old, and they're like stalagmites or stalactites?

01:19:35.660 He's like, yeah.

01:19:36.260 I go, I broke one of those off on purpose.

01:19:40.260 And he's like, that's messed up. 1.00

01:19:44.840 You're so full of shit. 1.00

01:19:46.020 No, I told him that. 1.00

01:19:47.420 He's like, dude, that's messed up.

01:19:49.320 And I go, no, I'm just kidding.

01:19:52.920 He goes, seriously, what'd you get in here?

01:19:54.260 I said, I didn't pay a parking ticket.

01:19:55.640 He goes, no way.

01:19:57.260 Nobody believed me.

01:19:58.280 And I go, no, I'm serious.

01:19:59.280 And I said, what did you get?

01:20:00.140 But I said, what did you get arrested for?

01:20:02.400 And he said, I borrowed a car.

01:20:05.620 I go, you borrowed one? 1.00

01:20:07.140 He goes, yeah, man, check this crap out. 1.00

01:20:09.180 He didn't say crap. 0.99

01:20:10.000 But he said, check this out. 0.98

01:20:11.480 He said, I rented from Enterprise Rental, and I returned it, but I returned it late.

01:20:16.780 So they threw me into jail.

01:20:17.900 And I go, how late did you return it?

01:20:20.260 Dude, I stole a car from Enterprise one time.

01:20:21.800 He's like, he says, I rented it, I returned it, but I returned it three months late.

01:20:28.600 And I'm like.

01:20:29.960 I kind of did that.

01:20:30.940 I really?

01:20:31.320 But I didn't get arrested.

01:20:32.100 So I go, yeah.

01:20:34.360 So what happened?

01:20:34.980 He goes, well, when I returned it, they wanted me to pay for those three months.

01:20:38.520 And I'm like, shocking.

01:20:40.700 Absolutely shocking.

01:20:41.620 That's not actually stealing.

01:20:43.080 Right.

01:20:43.540 I actually stole the car from Enterprise.

01:20:44.680 Well, that's funny.

01:20:45.440 Let me explain to you how.

01:20:46.540 This is actually a really good story.

01:20:48.160 So we flew to Denver to go on a ski trip.

01:20:51.360 My dad and everybody here, like a bunch of the dudes from work here.

01:20:54.160 This is like three, four years ago.

01:20:56.840 And we flew to Denver, and on the day that we were supposed to leave it, like blizzarded out.

01:21:03.160 And so it snowed like three feet.

01:21:06.240 All right.

01:21:07.700 So I woke up in the morning, and I saw the weather, and it was like crazy snow for two days. 0.90

01:21:13.700 And I fucking looked at everybody, and I'm like, hey, we had two Suburbans that we rented from Enterprise in Denver. 0.87

01:21:21.320 We had two Suburbans. 0.98

01:21:22.740 And I said, look, guys, here's the deal. 0.96

01:21:25.740 We can either go to the airport and sit there for three days because it's going to be closed, or we're fucking driving back to St. Louis right now. 0.94

01:21:33.860 And everybody was like, we're driving back to St. Louis right now, except my dad. 0.93

01:21:38.400 So my dad was like, I'm not doing that.

01:21:43.540 And I'm like, all right, well, who else is going?

01:21:46.120 So everybody else wanted to go, and he starts throwing a fit. 0.98

01:21:49.560 I'm like, well, you better get in the car or you'll fucking stay here. 0.97

01:21:51.960 So he gets in the car. 0.98

01:21:53.660 So we're driving.

01:21:54.280 This is actually a crazy-ass story.

01:21:56.520 Not crazy, but just funny.

01:21:58.460 So weed is legal in Colorado, right? 0.99

01:22:02.940 So fucking we're driving down. 0.99

01:22:06.820 We're driving. 0.99

01:22:07.720 I'm speeding because it's like just starting to snow.

01:22:10.060 I'm trying to get through the snow until we get through it so we can not get caught in it, right?

01:22:16.260 So we're driving pretty fast.

01:22:17.880 And we're both driving matching Suburbans.

01:22:20.840 So they're both white Suburbans. 0.85

01:22:24.140 So I'm driving like 90, and then my buddy Scott is driving behind me at like, I don't know, like four or five car lengths behind me.

01:22:35.660 So he had some weed on him that he bought at one of the weed stores there in Denver or wherever we were skiing, right?

01:22:45.280 So we're fucking going through the Eisenhower Tunnel, and there's a cop. 0.63

01:22:50.900 And I pass the cop, all right, and he's like looks up. 0.97

01:22:55.480 He sees me speeding.

01:22:56.760 He flips on his lights.

01:22:58.320 And while he's like doing the seatbelt or whatever, Scott follows me.

01:23:03.560 So the cop didn't realize that there was two different cars.

01:23:07.680 You see what I'm saying?

01:23:08.980 So he goes and pulls Scott over thinking it was me that went by him because it was the same car. 0.99

01:23:14.560 So Scott throws his fucking weed out the window, okay? 0.99

01:23:19.640 And the cop sees it. 1.00

01:23:21.080 The cop sees him do it.

01:23:23.120 This happened recently?

01:23:24.300 Yeah, this is like three years ago. 0.98

01:23:25.680 So fucking the cop pulls Scott over, and I see that he got pulled over, but I went up the road a little bit. 0.98

01:23:31.320 Yeah, right. 0.99

01:23:31.800 Yeah.

01:23:32.320 That's your friend. 1.00

01:23:33.380 So the cop picks up the fucking weed and fucking brings it back to the window. 1.00

01:23:38.460 He's like, here you go, sir. 1.00

01:23:39.460 You dropped something out your window. 0.99

01:23:40.940 Because it's fucking legal, you know what I'm saying? 0.98

01:23:44.800 So then, dude, we fucking, the cop was cool, and I think he wrote him like a speeding ticket or something, 0.98

01:23:49.940 which he didn't even do because it was me. 0.96

01:23:52.680 So then we drove back to St. Louis in these cars that were from fucking Enterprise Airport in Denver. 0.89

01:23:59.480 We drove them all the way to St. Louis and basically stole them from the Enterprise.

01:24:05.000 We took them there, and I dropped them off at the Enterprise up here on Lindbergh. 0.70

01:24:09.380 And my brother-in-law actually worked there, so I fucking called him, and I'm like, hey, bro, I did this thing. 0.99

01:24:16.400 I need you to fucking handle it. 0.95

01:24:18.400 So, dude, he figured it out, and we had to pay like a couple grand or something to make it right. 0.99

01:24:24.520 But, dude, sometimes you got to steal a car.

01:24:27.660 Sometimes you got to steal a car.

01:24:29.120 Sometimes you got to throw your weed out the window when it's legal.

01:24:31.780 That is funny.

01:24:32.180 Sometimes old habits don't die.

01:24:35.080 I'll tell you.

01:24:35.580 So one more.

01:24:36.380 One more.

01:24:37.400 So I am, this is bad.

01:24:39.760 So I occasionally socially drink, but I don't drink too much. 1.00

01:24:44.020 Oh, you fucking liar. 1.00

01:24:45.180 No, I know. 1.00

01:24:46.040 You're the one that says you did 31 shots.

01:24:48.720 Well, I did, and I actually prove, I'm going to prove that at some point.

01:24:52.000 How?

01:24:53.000 You can only drink like four shots.

01:24:55.120 So how are you going to get 31?

01:24:56.220 No, no, no, no.

01:24:56.980 I'm going to actually produce the evidence of the girl that was with me when I drank 31 shots.

01:25:02.260 Yeah.

01:25:03.100 But anyway, regardless.

01:25:05.160 So prior to actually drinking on a regular basis at all, I was at the bar one time in Manhattan, Kansas, in Aggieville.

01:25:16.880 And you guys are going to laugh at me, but when I first started experimenting with alcohol, I just drank the fruity girl drinks. 0.98

01:25:23.300 Yeah.

01:25:23.940 Fuzzy Navel and all that kind of stuff. 0.64

01:25:25.280 Yeah.

01:25:25.780 Yeah.

01:25:26.220 So I drank a little bit too much.

01:25:28.100 I didn't drink, you know, a ton.

01:25:29.340 I wasn't drunk, but I drank a little too much.

01:25:32.000 But I only live like a couple of blocks away from home, so I thought, I think I'm fine.

01:25:38.080 This isn't impairing my ability.

01:25:39.840 By the way, don't do this at home.

01:25:41.520 Okay.

01:25:42.040 But this isn't impairing my ability, so no big deal.

01:25:44.800 So I hop in my car, and I'm driving home.

01:25:48.860 Sure enough, the cop pulls, you know, pulls behind me, pulls me over.

01:25:54.100 This is in Manhattan, Kansas.

01:25:54.920 This is the second time you got arrested.

01:25:56.460 Right. 0.99

01:25:57.160 Well, I'm like, oh, crap. 0.75

01:25:59.000 I don't know what to do because literally at that point in my life, I'd hardly ever drank at all.

01:26:03.680 And now I'm like, what am I doing?

01:26:05.620 Am I going to pass a breathalyzer?

01:26:07.300 I'm going to get fired.

01:26:08.780 All this horrible stuff's going to happen.

01:26:11.380 So the guy pulls, the police officer comes to the door.

01:26:14.660 He says, license of registration?

01:26:17.860 And I say, okay, I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I think I've drank too much.

01:26:24.660 Of course you did.

01:26:25.280 And I just said, I promise you I never drink, but I hardly ever drink, and I drank too much, and I'm a pastor.

01:26:32.440 No, I didn't say I was a pastor.

01:26:33.860 And I said, and I just, I promise you, and I live real close.

01:26:37.060 And I did everything that they tell you not to do, right?

01:26:40.160 Yeah.

01:26:41.240 So the police officer says, well, let me see your license of registration.

01:26:45.060 So I hand it to him.

01:26:46.760 He checks it, comes back.

01:26:47.960 He says, all right, you live close?

01:26:49.960 I said, yeah.

01:26:51.060 He said, I want you to follow me.

01:26:53.260 Okay?

01:26:53.820 That was cool.

01:26:54.540 Yeah.

01:26:54.860 So he follows me.

01:26:56.700 I get in, I pull into my driveway.

01:26:58.980 I get out of the car.

01:27:01.000 Or, yeah, I get out of the car.

01:27:02.600 He walks up to me, and he says, don't you ever effing do anything like that again?

01:27:07.920 I said, I won't.

01:27:08.800 And he goes, and by the way, that was a great sermon last week, Pastor. 1.00

01:27:11.760 You're so full of shit. 1.00

01:27:13.260 No. 1.00

01:27:13.620 You're making that up.

01:27:14.620 Totally true.

01:27:15.720 Totally true.

01:27:16.440 That's awesome.

01:27:17.040 Yeah.

01:27:17.400 He was like, that was a great sermon.

01:27:18.460 Don't ever do that again.

01:27:19.420 Hey, you know what?

01:27:21.040 You're good.

01:27:22.260 That's good karma.

01:27:23.160 Yeah, right.

01:27:23.720 Right, right.

01:27:24.080 Well, that's the grace of God is what it is.

01:27:25.960 Yeah.

01:27:26.260 Well, I mean.

01:27:27.460 Anyway.

01:27:27.780 You just pull out the God card to get out of your own trouble, huh?

01:27:30.100 Well, and the truth is, is I really don't.

01:27:31.020 So that's how you roll.

01:27:31.420 I don't know if I will. 0.98

01:27:32.500 So, like, when you get in trouble, you just say, well, I'm fucking, God's my boy. 0.98

01:27:35.280 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:27:35.580 God's my boy.

01:27:36.200 And it works?

01:27:36.800 Right, exactly.

01:27:37.520 That's the deal?

01:27:38.220 Yeah.

01:27:38.640 All right.

01:27:38.920 You know, or I could say, well, listen, as a minister, I'm just not bound by the laws

01:27:42.860 of men, you know?

01:27:43.760 Yeah, I bet that wouldn't have worked as well.

01:27:44.740 Yeah, that probably wouldn't have worked either, but in any case.

01:27:47.080 No, so I'm not encouraging drinking and driving for those people out there who think I am.

01:27:51.480 But that was definitely at a time where I had no idea.

01:27:54.520 I was so inexperienced.

01:27:55.840 I mean, you know, most people start having a drink when they're, what, 16, 17?

01:28:00.940 Yeah.

01:28:01.160 I mean, let's face it, they do.

01:28:02.480 Probably.

01:28:03.160 I never took, I never had a drop of alcohol until I was probably 24, 25, yeah.

01:28:10.300 So how did the alcohol progress?

01:28:15.040 Because, I mean, now you're just like this hardcore gangster.

01:28:17.340 Right, I'm the beast.

01:28:18.340 Yeah, people are going to think, I hardly ever drink.

01:28:20.420 In fact, I will not be drinking.

01:28:22.240 When was the first time you smoked crack, bro?

01:28:24.140 Yeah.

01:28:24.900 Smoked crack would be, bro.

01:28:26.440 I don't vote Democrat.

01:28:27.620 Huh?

01:28:27.940 No, sorry.

01:28:31.220 Dude, that scene in The Wolf of Wall Street, smoked crack would be, bro.

01:28:34.600 Dude, I felt dirty after I watched that.

01:28:36.440 Oh, dude.

01:28:36.960 I had to take a shower.

01:28:37.900 I ran into a movie theater out and took my whole company.

01:28:39.900 Did you really? 0.98

01:28:40.440 Fucking right, I did. 0.96

01:28:41.160 That's funny. 0.99

01:28:41.640 I think it's one of the funniest fucking movies I've ever seen in my life. 0.99

01:28:43.820 Oh, it's got its moments. 0.98

01:28:45.000 I don't know, but, you know.

01:28:46.880 Dude, you know what?

01:28:49.140 But I'm going back, I'm kind of like you when it comes to alcohol these days.

01:28:53.520 I hardly ever drink.

01:28:54.500 At all.

01:28:55.500 I don't need it anymore, bro.

01:28:57.080 I just don't feel good about it.

01:28:57.620 I don't need it.

01:28:58.360 Yeah, I don't either.

01:28:59.120 You know, for me, with battling the mental issues that I have to battle, with depression,

01:29:05.320 things like that, I've just accepted that it's just not good for me.

01:29:10.160 Yeah.

01:29:11.220 Because the three or four days after I drink, I feel really bad.

01:29:14.820 Yeah.

01:29:14.980 Not hungover.

01:29:15.940 I'm talking about, like, depressed.

01:29:17.260 Yeah.

01:29:17.640 No, yeah.

01:29:17.940 And, you know, I still drink.

01:29:21.040 I don't condemn drinking.

01:29:22.100 It's just it's not good for me.

01:29:23.280 Right.

01:29:23.660 You know what I'm saying?

01:29:24.080 I still love to drink, and I still will.

01:29:26.500 Yeah.

01:29:26.660 But I'm more careful when I choose to indulge in the beautiful substance known as tequila.

01:29:36.620 Yeah.

01:29:36.920 Yeah.

01:29:37.880 Yeah.

01:29:38.940 For me, it's exception, not the rule.

01:29:40.840 Occasionally, I'll enjoy it, but. 0.98

01:29:43.300 So, dude, what happens to you when you get fucked up, like, in your home? 1.00

01:29:45.640 You run around in your underwear and shit? 1.00

01:29:46.660 No, I'll tell you. 1.00

01:29:47.260 Well, first of all, I don't.

01:29:48.340 In all seriousness, I don't.

01:29:49.300 Do you do the helicopter dance?

01:29:50.120 I can't tell you the last time.

01:29:51.340 You know the helicopter? 0.99

01:29:52.320 You fucking know. 1.00

01:29:53.720 I don't even know what that is. 1.00

01:29:55.460 Yeah, you don't know.

01:29:56.820 Every dude and every chick knows what the helicopter dance is. 0.83

01:30:01.220 Well, maybe I don't know what you're referring to. 0.97

01:30:02.960 Yeah, you know, like, whenever your dick's hanging out, and you, like, do it in a circle? 0.99

01:30:06.020 Like, dude, that's like the helicopter. 0.99

01:30:08.660 Dave, you fucking know you're laughing, and Tyler's laughing, too. 1.00

01:30:11.960 You motherfuckers know. 1.00

01:30:13.040 I ain't the only one that knows the helicopter. 1.00

01:30:15.000 That's funny.

01:30:15.580 No, I'm not aware of that one.

01:30:16.480 Yeah, you just do it sober.

01:30:18.740 Dave goes, dog, I don't drink, though.

01:30:21.200 No, the truth is that I don't, I very rarely ever, well, I can't.

01:30:25.260 Think if you did.

01:30:25.840 I honestly can't tell you the last time. 1.00

01:30:27.420 You'd probably be able to fucking get airborne with that motherfucker. 1.00

01:30:29.100 I can't tell you the last time I drank and got legitimately drunk. 1.00

01:30:33.240 Like, it's probably been 10, 15 years. 0.99

01:30:35.460 Oh, bullshit. 1.00

01:30:36.240 No, no, no, seriously. 1.00

01:30:36.680 That was like four or five years ago when we were at Park City, Utah.

01:30:40.080 All right, look, I got a meeting.

01:30:41.080 I got to roll.

01:30:41.500 All right.

01:30:41.880 So we're at the end of this factual storytelling.
