00:01:08.080 have even more good news coming on the carriage of our network for millions of americans who need to

00:01:14.220 get past the traditional narratives that we see in mainstream media so on this program we don't do the

00:01:20.520 same thing we do on our talk shows we get together we chop it up and it's an opportunity for us to

00:01:26.300 have a little bit more casual conversation than you'll typically see during the hard news of one

00:01:30.800 american news i am joined this evening by my good friend my on again off again employee he was the

00:01:37.520 founding producer of steve bannon's war room he worked on capitol hill in my office and in the office

00:01:44.120 of one george santos now he is a producer on the matt gates show vish burrah thank you for being here

00:01:50.300 and we knew when we came to san diego that we would not get out of this experience without a

00:01:56.460 great collaboration with our buddy shane the war rhino is how you know him if you are a fan of uh

00:02:03.240 of certain battling sports but uh we're glad that you're here with us vish take a minute introduce

00:02:09.120 shane yeah so shane is a uh a friend that i met yet through some of my my travels at the war room

00:02:16.040 uh he is a uh fought in bellator purple heart recipient marine i love this guy's energy but i

00:02:24.340 got to know him real close and personal on my birthday when he caked me with the birthday cake

00:02:31.420 which you were there you know i think you just made mention of that so that our production team

00:02:36.480 would throw in the sot video of shane throwing a cake in your face but now all of our new viewers on

00:02:42.580 the spectrum family of networks will see that uh that you got cake in your face from shane

00:02:47.680 we have a lot of young men who watch the program and one of the reasons i wanted to talk to you is

00:03:07.780 that you have shared some of these incredible stories with me about being a fighter what you

00:03:12.280 have to put your mind and body through uh what you have to endure on the recovery side the way that

00:03:19.560 the finances of the industry of fighting have to intersect with when you're available and what

00:03:25.300 you're willing to do to yourself and i just thought a lot of people uh might be interested in that and so

00:03:30.700 um shane crutchett give us a little bit of your background and how you came to be someone

00:03:35.980 who was fighting other people for money so grew up in uh northern wisconsin uh humble life you know

00:03:43.800 grew up on a farm nothing much went off to the marine corps at 17 years old uh a couple days after i

00:03:49.940 turned 17 next thing you know i'm in combat i get back home and then i end up getting medically

00:03:55.840 released from the marine corps well i knew how to fight and i showed up at a bar in the middle of

00:04:01.360 wisconsin and uh little unknown story i showed up to a bar and i'm drinking and this guy walks up to

00:04:06.940 me goes you look like a big guy at the time i was about 260 a little fatter and he goes you look like

00:04:11.840 a big guy you ever fight i'm like yeah what's up you know i thought he wanted to fight me i thought

00:04:15.760 we were going to get down and he goes well i'll give you a 500 bar tab you get in there and fight

00:04:19.900 right now i'm 21 years old and there's a 44 year old man in the ring and i was when you say ring

00:04:26.340 in this bar paint a picture of what this ring so so midwestern bar it's a literal bar and then they

00:04:33.760 had a convention area in the back and it looked like my grandmother's bed uh basement it was all

00:04:38.980 wood paneling on the walls it had some had some windows overviewing the lake in menasha

00:04:43.460 nina menasha wisconsin and uh they had a actual boxing ring and that was my first professional

00:04:51.540 mixed martial arts fight how many drinks had you had uh probably about half of a bottle of jack

00:04:57.400 whoa yeah i was pretty lit i don't remember putting shorts on um and i got in there and if you ever see

00:05:04.380 the video it's it's quite hilarious uh there's only one vhs tape and i don't know where that's at

00:05:09.520 that's how long ago this fight was there was a vhs tape i kept taking him down i had wrestling

00:05:14.060 experience i had no boxing experience i didn't know how to throw a punch so i'm missing every

00:05:18.120 punch and the ground and pound i just kept taking him down that's all i knew how to do so every time

00:05:21.860 he punched me it just hurt but then i launched that into a career that lasted 17 years wow yeah and

00:05:28.600 and it started like battling some some boomer lumberjack yeah a boomer lumberjack that was old

00:05:35.180 enough to be my father at the time that was retired from the united states army okay so one of the

00:05:39.300 things i found really interesting is how in in these professional bouts yeah you would have to

00:05:44.560 identify a weight class and then um and then pursue like these crazy things you would do to your body to

00:05:51.340 shed weight so describe those things and then identify which of them would work on vish

00:05:56.440 oh i love vish too much uh so there was you know there was too many things that uh would happen

00:06:03.540 quite often and you'd have to actual kill your body so i started at 260 262 sorry and i worked my

00:06:11.640 way down every weight class except for 170 all the way to 145 and i would fight all these not even meth

00:06:18.820 will cut that much weight no you know and i haven't met anybody and it was it was kind of funny so

00:06:24.180 it it's really hard to to walk in and people see you and they didn't see me for eight months and i lost

00:06:31.540 a hundred pounds in eight months it's just ridiculous remember most people will just think

00:06:36.920 about their favorite clip of rocky training and just be like well you just must have done a lot

00:06:41.120 of that like is that is that actually what it is uh no i just was very poor i thought i was going to

00:06:46.920 be in the ufc in two years and i was like i'll be in the ufc in two years so this is what i'm going

00:06:51.960 to do and i couldn't afford food so i would just eat tuna and eat an egg in the morning that's all i

00:06:57.880 could afford because i was going to be in the ufc uh needless to say i can i can assure every

00:07:02.720 viewer here i did not make the ufc in two years that was very but you did two years of tuna and

00:07:07.680 egg two years of just tuna and egg one egg a day because that eggs are expensive you could do this

00:07:13.800 you got this like i thought he was gonna be all you can that's all you can eat that's all you can

00:07:17.600 eat i thought it was gonna say at least like you know chicken of the sea no you get two cans of the

00:07:23.800 of the cheapest stuff you could find at 99 cent store of the of the five pack you get two cans a

00:07:28.620 day and one egg are you sure i can do it doesn't work if the tuna was harvested sustainably no it

00:07:35.140 does not oh it needs to be it needs to be injected yeah i don't know i don't know if that's my stuff

00:07:39.180 but no think about it if it was that or you know you have to put some garbage bag over your body and

00:07:44.860 run up and down stadium stairs like you probably couldn't do that you could do the tuna thing i probably

00:07:50.580 couldn't do that which is why i don't do that but i don't know if i could do the tuna thing either

00:07:55.500 tuna and egg that's it there's no carbs no carbs oh man no so this you cut you cut this is going to

00:08:01.880 be some crazy white lady diet that is going to emerge out of this podcast and i am not

00:08:06.580 medically endorsing this no okay so so you you cut all the weight yeah you you find out what weight

00:08:13.300 you're going to fight at like walk me through the things that happen in the like 10 days two weeks

00:08:19.560 before a fight that you have to do to your body oh so when i got to the show if you will the big

00:08:24.060 the big show was world series of fighting that which is now known as pfl professional fighters

00:08:28.640 league and i remember uh wsof3 i get a phone call that they gave me three three months to get ready

00:08:36.160 and it was on christmas eve they gave me the notice and i was like yeah i got this my daughter's

00:08:41.400 about to my daughter was born and i'm like oh gosh i'm a new dad okay well now i got to starve

00:08:46.360 myself i was 196 pounds and they said i had to be 145 in less than three months it's okay so go to

00:08:52.860 the gym i check in and i start losing the weight a little bit you up your cardio you up everything

00:08:58.120 next thing you know i'm dying and i'm losing i'm i get down to like 172 and i couldn't lose more weight

00:09:05.380 my coaches were able to get me down to 164 165 and then i had to lose 18 pounds did you take illegal

00:09:12.960 drugs to do that absolutely not no illegal drugs i did uh 18 pounds in two days just water weight

00:09:18.960 uh at the last so how do you lose that much water weight so there's an old wrestling trick and you

00:09:24.700 take boiling hot water as much as as hot as you can stand you dump it in you put it in a bathtub

00:09:29.720 with about five pounds of epsom salt and and bottles of green alcohol and you get in so the green

00:09:34.920 alcohol opens your pores or sorry the epsom salt opens your pores and the alcohol yanks the water out

00:09:39.960 you can lose if you if you do 20 minute 20 to 25 minute dumps and then you and then you wrap

00:09:45.360 yourself in a cocoon for 10 minutes and jump right back in you can lose about 15 pounds in under two

00:09:50.760 hours and it's not how do you feel oh the worst you know like a walking zombie people have to help you

00:09:56.520 get in bed that sounds like a terrible thing to have to do right before fighting someone yeah how does

00:10:01.860 that how does that work if you're you're you have to be helped into bed but like you're gonna be

00:10:06.780 stepping into the ring just like oh no no no so on the contrary so if you look at some of my

00:10:11.680 pictures and i've showed i showed yourself matt and i've also i've showed you vish i've weighed in at

00:10:17.060 144 145 and the next day i'll be 173 and ready for the fight so i can gain almost 30 pounds overnight

00:10:26.040 is it like golden corral go to water weight uh soup plantation you name it plus uh which is illegal now

00:10:34.580 it wasn't when i was doing it was iv bags i'd probably take five or six iv bags i'd have a doctor

00:10:40.040 up in my room ready to go and my corners would i'd get on the scale look all tough look all anorexic

00:10:45.540 and sucked up and uh flex and then my corners would help me get up to the room and put iv bags right

00:10:52.000 in me right away and then get you to uh you'd eat a whole thing of broccoli just to settle your tummy

00:10:56.980 and then freaking start eating there and that's it and that was that was all you could do and so like

00:11:02.480 you have this dynamic this crazy dynamic like shift happening with your body over you know

00:11:08.320 four or five days yep right and i mean how often and then if you do it often obviously that's like

00:11:15.040 that's the process for every fight for every fight dude what does that do to your body though there

00:11:19.860 has to be oh my body's destroyed now long-term effect yeah it is i have to be on trt now testosterone

00:11:26.000 replacement therapy i've destroyed my some of my intestines uh you know i've really destroyed

00:11:32.260 my longevity uh so i've had to take now i have to take testosterone regularly in order to keep my

00:11:37.900 testosterone up my testosterone level was at an 85 year old man's level when i was tested just

00:11:42.640 because which generation because the 85 year old men of the greatest generation have a have a higher

00:11:47.720 level than the zoomers of today we're talking the zoomers of today okay all right they were 85

00:11:52.440 where they're headed you don't want to yeah i don't want to go there no way no how um yeah the 85

00:11:57.360 year old generation of the world war ii absolutely i i would dream of that level um did you were you

00:12:02.600 ever a fan of like older fighters i was and i'm actually really close some fighters aren't fans

00:12:07.620 but like i was i was a weird fan of the tito ortiz of of the chuck liddell of the dan severance

00:12:13.820 and now all three are my some of my closest friends it's really creepy that i can jump on my

00:12:19.060 phone and just text and be like oh i'm just going to text chuck liddell today or i'm just going to

00:12:23.180 tuck you know chuck liddell's making fun of me via text message he'll see me on a podcast and make

00:12:27.260 fun of me i'm like oh thanks chuck and it's just random it's it's really weird to be a fan of

00:12:33.920 somebody but those are ufc fighters what about like boxers boxers ooh jack dempsey's oh you got to bring

00:12:40.740 it all the way back you know like those old school like really went in a hundred plus round guys like

00:12:46.600 i i wouldn't have the stanima or the want to ever be in a fight like that you think of jack dempsey

00:12:51.960 did 110 rounds in one fight before in new york city no thank you but yes somebody must have been

00:12:57.740 betting on that oh a hundred percent that was a mafia ran organization there was a certain number

00:13:03.460 of rounds they had to go to make the to make the books right you think about 110 rounds at three

00:13:08.520 minutes no thank you no no no no um i always liked like the you know tyson at his best uh i roy jones

00:13:20.180 jr at his best yeah one of the best pound for pound fighters uh and a guy who i was a he's made

00:13:26.800 a lot of money as a promoter now but i don't think he even got enough credit in the ring he was a killer

00:13:31.880 in the ring oscar de la jolla i mean when this guy got got weakness uh you know would sense it uh some

00:13:38.880 of the fights he had with bernard hopkins were unbelievable hopkins made a name for himself uh

00:13:43.440 by beating up la jolla yeah in a in some of those cases that was the golden age i don't i don't think

00:13:50.180 i could name five boxers now it's been totally overtaken yeah by ufc what i mean a lot has been

00:13:58.300 made of like dana white acquiring this asset and and what it says about viewership and culture and

00:14:04.720 society that this is where it's gone like what what do you make of it that the the icons were the

00:14:10.920 dempsey's the lennox lewis's the mike tyson's the george foreman's and now the the generation to come

00:14:18.260 will know the great fighters of of ufc of mixed martial arts it it's on it's very unfortunate because

00:14:24.500 they paved the way for martial arts or uh combat sports in america if you will in the 1900s and 1800s

00:14:31.340 they really paved the way especially especially when you look at uh madison square garden and things

00:14:35.920 so the the people of today unless they get a history lesson from their parents or you know our

00:14:42.360 generation can pass that knowledge down it's unfortunate it might die out and i hope it doesn't

00:14:47.620 because the ufc is great but the ufc's career is really a a blink if you really look at it these guys

00:14:54.340 are in there you know most don't make it over five fights you're great if you make over 10 fights

00:15:00.320 if you're in the ufc for 15 to 20 fights you're a legend it's crazy in boxing these guys had 50 60

00:15:08.000 fights and that to be good you're like it doesn't equate to today's and it kind of it's kind of a

00:15:16.120 very downer it's it's it's unfortunate and you said delahoy's name people know delahoy today as like

00:15:22.380 this mockery that just promotes and does this and brings to jake calls and he was a savage like

00:15:29.260 people see this guy just you know cheery that guy he didn't take anything for granted uh you know

00:15:37.420 when he fought mayweather when he fought these guys some of the best people in the world those

00:15:41.680 were good fights well floyd floyd had the best defense of his era and when mayweather would or

00:15:48.620 when when oscar would get any type of opportunity to blow him up it was just something to watch and

00:15:56.780 it was just insane you can was there more strategy you think in boxing than in ufc

00:16:02.520 i'm gonna get a catch a lot of hate the hate for this answer um i think there's more strategy in mma

00:16:10.260 uh due to the fact that you have to defend takedowns elbows knees uh kicks uh punches elbows in boxing i

00:16:18.620 have to block a punch now if you take a pure boxer against a pure mma guy he's gonna pick

00:16:24.580 them apart bop bop bop bop bop you know just with hands but if you take them down a boxer won't know

00:16:30.660 what to do so it's it's weird they're they're in their perspective art they are both amazing well

00:16:36.720 let me lay out a contrary okay that like if you just have someone who is such a such a beast of a

00:16:45.400 human being that they could just rip you apart if you're in mma they win at a higher rate than in

00:16:52.820 boxing because you can access fewer of those tools in boxing you can access a wider array of tools so

00:16:59.100 if you have more tools and you're more elite at them like the more the physical specimen prevails

00:17:04.760 at a higher rate in mma than in boxing because in boxing you know it's really about how you throw and

00:17:10.880 block and take punches i i would agree with that uh analogy 100 well you've you you weighing in on

00:17:17.040 this one well i he looks lost well my that's the my problem is i've all my fighting i've done like

00:17:23.600 in the street or not in a ring you know so that's that's where my perspective comes from and that's

00:17:29.460 even kind of weirder and a different dynamic right like you you're like your street level is not even

00:17:34.620 the same right oh no but fish fish fish fish you're ignoring the news because the news now is that

00:17:40.020 the street is meeting ufc cash patel and talks with uh with dana white to have fbi agents learn more

00:17:50.060 about their street combat and hand-to-hand tactics from the octagon yeah so the blending of the worlds

00:17:58.840 shane the war rhino tell us like what could you have taught an fbi agent at the peak of your fighting

00:18:05.560 well so it's actually really funny you bring that up so alcohol and police department used to come

00:18:10.220 into my gym back in 2019 2020 and i used to teach them and i they loved it they they would come in

00:18:17.220 and pay for i would try to give them free training uh the mayor came in bill wells came in to uh came in

00:18:23.680 and thanked us for teaching his police officers simple hand-to-hand uh defense and combat now you

00:18:30.480 blend cash patel who's an absolute savage himself yes you bring him at the at the helm of his ship

00:18:36.620 with is the fbi which is supposed to be the most fearful of the federal you know officers on the

00:18:44.500 planet i fear their wiretap more than their fist that's what i that's what i'm feeling right but if

00:18:49.500 you if you would have had a bunch of fbi agents let's say at waco that were well well trained and not

00:18:56.840 or or any event or even in 2020 when the fbi goes and takes knees with blm protesters

00:19:02.760 and they look like that not happen in mma oh gosh no nobody's taking a knee i and the guys that

00:19:08.920 were taking knees look like roly polies you had to roll them out in a wheelchair to to take a knee

00:19:13.800 that didn't even fit a didn't even fit a bulletproof vest guys it's such a gendered comment oh sorry my

00:19:19.200 bad oopsies um no but if you take these guys and you get these guys in and if you really read about

00:19:26.840 process is with this i actually respect it due to two things and other fbi agents do as well

00:19:32.560 the the fbi needs a certain stringent physical fitness requirement you have to be able to

00:19:40.200 be an fbi agent be presentable defend yourself take down an enemy if a terrorist comes up don't

00:19:46.320 be like oh hold on i need a ho-ho before we before we go they used to all be fit because it was it was

00:19:51.480 like some weird they had to be hot enough to turn on j edgar hoover yeah that was he wasn't picking a

00:19:57.260 bunch of slugs no he wasn't picking those studs yeah and and then it just it just went completely

00:20:02.540 you know under comey and everybody else it just kept going and then here's cash saying hey enough's

00:20:07.620 enough if we have to have so it's a symbol to me it's a it's a symbol about masculinity in the fbi

00:20:13.640 more than it is like you're actually going to learn something from a ufc fighter that you're going

00:20:18.240 to use as an fbi agent i wouldn't even say it's a symbol of a masculinity thing it's a symbol of

00:20:22.900 of strength if you're in shape you look at the united states marine corps look at their stringent

00:20:28.320 look at their stringent you know what what hexath just said the the military across the board needs

00:20:34.520 pete has said the military across the board needs the mil needs the marine corps strength standards

00:20:40.280 there's no more second guessing things and i was like yo he's onto something you can't have fat lazy

00:20:47.040 people representing your agency thinking people are intimidated by them no offense if the fbi came

00:20:52.420 to my house with a bunch of fat out of shape people i'm not intimidated by that i will fight back

00:20:57.160 and that's no that's no hard i was attorney general i was going to make vish an fbi agent amen look at

00:21:03.140 that could you imagine this guy coming to my door i'm going to kick him in his kneecap no i'm just

00:21:06.480 kidding he's like please not the kneecap not my kneecap but i mean if i was an fbi agent first of all

00:21:12.340 i would get you to teach me exactly how to get that how to get you'd be in that weird salt bath

00:21:17.040 how many how long do i have to be in the salt couple hours a day buddy okay i could do it i'll

00:21:23.420 do it i'll do it to be an fbi no this is bad we're not endorsing no vish or anyone else doing that it's

00:21:28.320 a terrible idea we only reference it for it's destructive and to ensure that none of our viewers

00:21:32.620 ever do it but uh to to the point about the military and the direction it's going uh i actually

00:21:38.880 think that this administration leaning into the fact that we want a masculine military and a

00:21:44.260 masculine fbi in the worst who are recruiting benefit there was this theory in recruiting

00:21:48.920 that because we had lower we had a few a lower overall percentage of our population that was just

00:21:55.520 physically fit to serve in the military i think like at one point of those in high school like one

00:22:01.100 in four could meet the physical standards to serve in our military and so instead of being like yo how

00:22:06.800 who are that one in four and how do we bat at a higher average with them the perspective was well

00:22:13.720 maybe we like don't just look for the football players and soccer players anymore like maybe we

00:22:20.080 go find the theater kids and try to turn them into the military and i say that as like a proud theater

00:22:25.200 kid from high school but i you know i i wouldn't have been much use on the fighting side but but uh the

00:22:31.260 you know do you do you think that when we look back on this 10 10 years from now uh history will judge

00:22:38.080 that decision to lean into into the into the 25 percent more than than maybe trying to accommodate

00:22:44.740 a broader array of people but who just aren't suited for the service i've stared the taliban in the face

00:22:51.480 i've said i've seen taliban face to face i don't think you know dei is where masculinity goes to die

00:22:58.640 and that doesn't bring us into any sort of strength as a world power the united states since

00:23:06.020 1776 has been known on the globe as a world power there's a reason we're a two-time defending world

00:23:10.980 champ uh but when you go into these places the world was deathly afraid i'll never forget in iraq

00:23:17.640 in 2003 they literally wouldn't fight if they saw the digital camouflage or the marine corps logo on your

00:23:25.540 uniform they were scared to fight you they they told us that's real strength oh they told us this

00:23:31.660 they said because other countries believed and at that time they believed that to be a united states

00:23:37.680 marine you had to kill your one of your family members to get into the marine corps that was a

00:23:42.700 world we wasted all of this on a bunch of bedouins in iraq right people thought this about us this china

00:23:50.540 would still be afraid if we maintained these fictions if we just kept this fiction going

00:23:55.380 and unfortunate blew it they blew it on iraq they believe this for iraq they were so scared of the

00:24:01.920 marines if they saw a marine coming up they're like hi they didn't fight you jessica lynch i don't know

00:24:07.820 if you know the jessica lynch where she was taken taken um sorry uh i coughed but before they had

00:24:15.800 the uh the her convoy go through the marines went through caught no enemy fire no no pop shots the

00:24:22.920 army goes through and they just unload on them they were deathly afraid of the united states marines

00:24:27.360 it's well known around the globe even when when the french foreign legion came into iraq we're friends

00:24:34.200 with the united states marines they were scared to talk to us because they didn't know what we were

00:24:38.880 going to do they thought we were going to kill them because we had to it was like nobody what

00:24:43.920 these world powers were deathly afraid of us the the marine training is the hardest one it is it's

00:24:50.620 13 weeks uh and they always say i and and i'm going to catch a lot of flack for this but they always

00:24:55.660 say i'm an average trained marine is the same as a navy seal and i catch a lot of crap saying that

00:25:01.020 from all my navy seal buddies this is san diego i know i love my navy seal buddies need an escort

00:25:06.320 for security purposes out of the building i have a lot of navy seal friends and i always i always say

00:25:12.800 that joke to them and i always get this weird look and a couple words that come out of their

00:25:16.860 mouth and i'm always like all right we're not going to make that joke anymore and i always ask

00:25:21.280 why they're not down in la jolla on the shores but that's oh we love the seals i'm so excited when

00:25:28.300 we get our merriweather farm shipments in you get a beautiful piece of ribeye look look at that

00:25:32.760 marbling now i take it out of the package let it get down to room temperature all i've got on here

00:25:37.920 is a little salt a little pepper and then a little avocado oil and then i've had my pan preheating

00:25:43.460 with a little oil head to merriweatherfarms.com and enter promo code matt g for 15 off your first

00:25:56.300 order so so speaking of jokes a little bit has changed in the in the comedy space should we pour

00:26:03.240 one out for stephen colbert vish burrah i know i know you have been such a focal point

00:26:09.680 of late night comedy shows jimmy kimmel has this little obsession about uh with you he loves you

00:26:15.880 but when you got when you got word that colbert would be moving on did you prepare your application

00:26:20.640 for the slot i you know what if if uh they had any sense they would hire me but i grew up by the way

00:26:28.060 he said the same thing about the view okay i would actually i would prefer the view if i could

00:26:33.860 you get a slot there yeah they would love me um colbert being uh finishing is end of an era really

00:26:41.060 i'm part of that generation that grew up where our interest in the news was mainly driven by the

00:26:48.900 opinions of john stewart on the daily show and then the colbert rapport uh that came after and

00:26:55.020 i loved the uh the daily show colbert then gets his own and he was a character on the daily show

00:27:01.520 colbert gets his own show uh and i love that show even more and it was he was what you're saying is

00:27:08.140 someone can be a character on someone else's show and then emerge as the leading character in an even

00:27:13.660 better show yes that can happen that's totally possible wow yeah yeah i mean hey look kanye used to

00:27:20.320 produce for jay-z and then kanye became kanye i will i will note that for it very very meaningful

00:27:27.340 historical significance but but but back back to the matter so to the matter so colbert great show

00:27:34.140 again drove drove my perception and somebody some of my opinions about uh politics and and world events

00:27:41.860 at that time i'm from that millennial generation it was also the best satire it was so good about

00:27:46.760 colbert is it was it was actually true satire that was funny rather than what he tried to do

00:27:52.560 with the late night program you know what and a lot of that satire today me and you might agree with

00:27:57.640 like based on our experiences knowing a lot of these like republican congressmen he was making fun of the

00:28:03.040 pro-war republic yes exactly he was making fun of the iraq war yeah and how people were uh so enthusiastic

00:28:09.880 for it despite evidence of meaningful wins in the objective yeah and that was and you know that was

00:28:15.840 an avenue for him to talk about a lot of stuff but everyone knew that they were coming in for satire

00:28:21.060 but like some kind of commentary on the news and world events but when he got his late night show

00:28:26.520 i think he just totally missed the mark and i think the timing of it with trump coming into power

00:28:32.080 the satire was uh almost delightful yeah and uh light-hearted yes and then the attempted comedy

00:28:42.360 late night had a certain like mean-spirited edge that felt more cringe at times well it felt like

00:28:48.660 lecturing it felt like he was nagging right and it's like you kind of think about the the the late

00:28:53.900 night show the format what it's for you come home from a long day of work you sit down you want you're

00:28:59.740 trying to wind down and just enjoy a few laughs this guy couldn't help but lecture people about

00:29:06.380 trump so here's the true test best late night host ever shane who adam carolla the man show

00:29:12.680 wow okay all right you went yeah i was thinking i was thinking midwestern letterman you know he kind

00:29:20.500 of brought that midwestern minnesota guy we were too poor to have a tv that actually had that i didn't

00:29:26.120 have cable until i was 16 and i remember seeing cable and i was like what in the world is this i

00:29:32.360 used to have to watch flipper so man you're in a generation where you like you you were uh hoping

00:29:39.320 to get cable only now to go to the streaming generation yeah now i'm in streaming now my

00:29:44.160 daughter cries if her ipad doesn't work it's like what in the world yeah i was like if you only knew

00:29:49.260 yeah i'm transported all the way back to 1995 because wi-fi isn't my rabbit ears had to bend to

00:29:57.120 get the right signal but no yeah i definitely think i oh man there's letterman was an absolute icon

00:30:03.820 you can't ever jay leno was another one that jay leno was very flat comedy but it was funny dry and

00:30:11.340 good very dry but very funny and he always delivered no matter what he never lectured you never never it was

00:30:18.160 always it was he knew see jay leno understood the assignment correct right and that's why he's got

00:30:24.280 a massive garage and like nobody i don't i don't remember like nobody has a like a terrible opinion

00:30:30.160 about that guy when you when you speak about him left or right doesn't matter he understood the

00:30:34.500 assignment colbert didn't that's why you see a lot of people kind of dancing on his grave right now

00:30:39.320 and you know other people making jokes that oh look usaid dry funding dried up and all of a sudden you

00:30:46.000 know the uh colbert uh show is done and uh you know the democrats don't have enough cash on hand

00:30:52.900 nationally it's like there are amazing trends that are happening yeah people are just dancing on graves

00:30:57.380 now do you think the that big media has gotten the message about the viewership wanting a variety of

00:31:04.860 perspectives and viewpoints i think people have gotten big media has gotten the message that people

00:31:09.460 are sick of the one one one one lane train yeah and they they understand that there's got to be

00:31:15.140 different avenues for your media do you watch like left and right media i do i i watch both and i'll be

00:31:20.940 running at the gym i'll be working out and i'll be watching both cnn and fox trying to trying to

00:31:26.560 decipher between the two because there's always somebody that's right somebody that's wrong and then

00:31:30.220 there's the middle i try to find the middle out of both we have a lot of people who hate watch us

00:31:34.900 and we appreciate our hate watchers you have to we appreciate them whether they are uh commenting

00:31:41.040 online or uh emailing about their uh their perspective on the show i think it's great everything

00:31:47.640 and i think that that that if you're a snowflake that's not ideal yeah but that that's the thing

00:31:53.900 right like now we we have this situation where people are not willing to come like even get it into

00:32:02.660 it you know on a set face to face right the whole idea of the gavin newsom podcast or whatever where

00:32:08.500 he's going to bring in these opposing voices why is that so revolutionary right that's it's so

00:32:13.760 ridiculous on its face that we hit that we got that far that gavin newsom doing that is something

00:32:18.860 where and something worth like considering and you you don't even see much by now the most predictable

00:32:24.840 news story we got this week the story that all this money that people had given to the victims of the

00:32:30.700 fires ended up going to left-wing ngos of course like like i mean it was of course that's where

00:32:36.900 it was going but what what the but what the you know the bigger news is what they're doing with

00:32:40.580 the pacific palisades where a lot of the senate it's so sad and that they're basically taking the

00:32:46.780 land oh i don't know about this dude they're the bay the senate the california senate i believe just

00:32:52.200 passed a bill that newsom intends to sign or i don't know if he has signed it yet but he intends to

00:32:56.760 he has oh he has so he signed it it basically says that the government is able to buy this land

00:33:03.300 cheap and make like public housing out of it's the same thing they did in hawaii they're they're

00:33:08.600 uh playing an intimate domain without that name on it yeah and they can buy it at pennies on the dollar

00:33:13.860 for the land a lot of these families in the palisades didn't have enough they don't have enough

00:33:19.120 the insurance still hasn't people in the palisades didn't have enough money no because i'm i thought the

00:33:23.720 i thought the millionaires had been driven out by the billionaires well well in the palisades though

00:33:27.960 there's families that have been there for five six generations they own the house outright so

00:33:32.780 these insurance companies are coming in and they're saying oh sorry you only have x insurance not y

00:33:39.160 and so they're going oh what they're like but we knew that would happen oh we knew this was going

00:33:43.940 to happen so newsom in a backdoor deal my friend david is on uh is a is a uh assemblyman here in

00:33:50.660 california has been posting about it quite quite our guy quite often yes sir he was yeah he was on

00:33:56.060 our program this week i love it i love david very much and uh david david posted and i go what in the

00:34:03.240 world they did this backroom deal and they ended up newsom said we'll never do this we'll never do

00:34:09.500 this what did he do boom lays it down and it's already very left heavy and boom right away sign

00:34:16.420 so the natural disaster is just the first wave in the set correct so the natural disaster you have

00:34:21.820 the government roll in on top of you and take your land for pennies on the dollar yeah so that they can

00:34:26.760 make some low illegal immigrant encampment yep where you used to live it's the nightmare scenario and

00:34:33.480 it's it's like predictable to a lot of people said that this is exactly what's going to happen

00:34:38.560 right because the same thing i think happened in minneapolis correct same thing happened like

00:34:42.960 hawaii hawaii even though after the maui fires yep the fires that some people were even talking

00:34:47.980 about taking place in uh western north carolina where the where uh those disasters happened where

00:34:54.240 the floods yep and so this is something this is something you got to be worried about especially

00:34:58.960 like when you talk about like black rock and these big companies being able to come in and buy this

00:35:04.480 stuff up too and and you instead of treating property as you know as for homes and places to build

00:35:11.340 it's just an asset that they sit on yeah over time and charge you rent that you can never buy and

00:35:16.980 just taking the pacific palisades off the market or minneapolis off the market and driving you know

00:35:23.180 prices home prices through the roof well you know and then you look at america this would never happen

00:35:27.720 in florida like in florida we're just so used to the disasters being a part of our everyday life that

00:35:34.140 if a disaster meant that you like somehow degraded your property rights that would not abide florida man

00:35:40.440 florida man will be like hurricane uh sinkhole flood this is my land whether it is yeah by the

00:35:49.880 foot by the acre or by the gallon it is mine right well now we we got to hope that that there's

00:35:56.480 something could be done but i i don't know the pacific palace the idea that like this prime real

00:36:01.720 estate is about to be chopped up it's a low-income housing what an image though when they start putting

00:36:07.660 up the illegal immigrant in the palisades and we're like this is what left-wing government gets

00:36:12.300 by the way everyone i want to know what the what the numbers are on you know how many people that

00:36:16.580 used to live here who lost their homes now voted democrat i mean where you know well i i don't wish

00:36:22.180 ill on them but people have to understand that there are consequences when they're bringing this

00:36:26.980 they're bringing this travesty to places like texas and arizona because all the blue is moving out of

00:36:32.440 california and they're like oh well we need to run away because we don't like how california is

00:36:36.820 turning out but then they're turning a great red state like arizona into a blue state they're turning

00:36:41.700 great you know they're trying to turn i don't know if that's the californians in arizona so much as the

00:36:46.080 white collar like oracle it's phoenix yeah no absolutely it's scottsdale more specifically you've got

00:36:52.820 this uh group of millennial white collar workers and i think that that tells us something about politics

00:36:58.600 that trump won that state by seven points a lot of those folks looked at kamala and and there may

00:37:04.580 be business advisory consultants or accountants or lawyers and they're saying this is not a person who

00:37:09.500 can do the job and you know what when trump was running the place last time may maybe we made

00:37:14.000 on social media i didn't like but yeah i was doing better and i had a better prospect for my life and

00:37:19.180 my future i am concerned about something for the future and i need some advice on it uh we've we've said

00:37:25.420 i've got a little one on the way and one of my concerns for him is the name of his generation

00:37:32.000 you know i mean i'm a millennial like a zennial millennial yeah you know then we got the zoomers

00:37:38.440 vish is basically a zoomer uh then you got gen alpha and the the generation being born is at risk

00:37:46.880 of being gen beta you can't have that so so vish burr if i put you in charge of this marketing campaign

00:37:54.400 for the upcoming generation to not be gen beta give give me a name give me something that can

00:38:01.440 stick uh you know it's the this one's a tough one but if i have to keep the b on it you know for the

00:38:07.480 hurricane style naming convention here for the generations that we're getting uh you know i think

00:38:14.220 it's got to be something like gen brother you know gen brother yeah gen brother wow yeah that's the

00:38:21.100 black man from the bronx the black man from new york did not know that that was where you were

00:38:26.360 going to go with that yeah i think that it's going to be like a brotherly love kind of time you know

00:38:30.780 where it's about like men like creating bonds to like uh to basically re re you know there are going

00:38:37.920 to be women born too yeah i mean they're welcome to serve the brothers you're in shock brother there's

00:38:43.800 going to be women of course of course but i think that it's going to be they're welcome in gen brother

00:38:47.800 yeah of course yeah no of course they are but i think it's about appreciating how the the men of

00:38:54.680 this few uh of the future need to take responsibility for this nation and kind of execute on a lot of the

00:39:02.660 ideas that are being come up with right now brother's keeper yeah like a brother's keeper kind of

00:39:07.500 okay but is that with an er or an a apostrophe oh i think a apostrophe or a h

00:39:14.560 a h shane give me a name for this generation generation come back come back just skip the b's

00:39:22.200 all together we just need to just come back so enough of that and beta like whoever names that

00:39:29.480 needs to fight three rounds with john jones we're a risk it's it's actually wearing the yellow jersey for

00:39:36.660 the generation 100 all right you're giving them come back yeah come back what are we coming back

00:39:41.120 from the out the alpha and this coming back from the uh the dei crap that tried to take down this

00:39:47.160 nation well let's hope we're not still coming back from that by then let's hope that this i hope we

00:39:51.140 just figured out the zoomers already figured it out we're okay so so the zoomers can get out of

00:39:55.860 therapy long enough yeah if they can get out of therapy and starbucks for long enough we'll be safe

00:40:00.300 yes yes well i have one gen builder oh gen builder i like i think that the tools to build things will

00:40:09.640 exist for this generation in a way that are unthinkable to us a generation or so removed

00:40:16.820 when you think about prompt engineering when you think about the fact that more and more the young

00:40:22.560 people aren't looking at the job they want or the profession they want to have but the things they

00:40:28.140 want to create so we could go gen alpha gen builder gen creator oh okay continue here to save humanity

00:40:36.620 okay so i'm putting it out there i'm not mad at do with it what you will internet i'm i'm giving how

00:40:41.740 do we get you on the generation naming committee we need you we need you on the panel i'm i'm going to

00:40:48.380 apply i hope it's easier to get on that than senate confirmation if it's a senate confirmed post

00:40:54.360 i may have an issue we might not get confirmed i might i might have i have an opportunity to serve

00:41:00.900 um there there is another issue that that vish was telling me about but i didn't fully uh didn't sink

00:41:07.120 in but i i'm constantly interested in what's going out there to create human connection and we're a

00:41:12.820 different different parts of that continuum right now i'm you know happily married guy four years

00:41:17.940 you're fresh off of an engagement which is an incredibly exciting time to be alive hope springs

00:41:23.860 eternal your heart is full someone has said yes you know when you get to call yourself engaged

00:41:28.940 someone said yes how did i convince her thing and then then there is the you know call of the wild

00:41:35.960 sitting next to you in the obviously i did not have help from a woman getting ready gulf of america t-shirt

00:41:42.580 and and uh and so we got we got all angles covered here but vish tells me there is a new

00:41:48.280 app called the t app that is shaping some feature of human connection tell us about it vish oh yeah so

00:41:54.560 a new app on the market it is uh quickly rising as one of the most popular apps on on the app store

00:42:01.620 it's called t and it's basically a place where women can anonymously report on their dates with certain

00:42:10.460 men from dating apps it is essentially a yelp for men on dating apps now if you don't think that's

00:42:19.420 scary this all this actually this idea is not uh necessarily new there was a facebook group i think

00:42:26.680 are we dating the same guy are we dating the same guy that that kind of group uh kind of effort

00:42:32.640 essentially uh has risen it's crowdsourcing no it's crowdsourcing boundaries yeah you know

00:42:40.020 it's like hey should i what should i do let me let me offer you maybe an unpopular take

00:42:45.760 i wouldn't have wanted that as a dater you know when i go to a restaurant you know what ruins that

00:42:51.580 restaurant experience for me meeting the cook oh okay when you meet the cook you start to ask some

00:42:57.800 questions and there's a certain side of that you don't really want to see and i don't want to know

00:43:03.460 like the beginning of a relationship is fun and interesting and this person could be all of your

00:43:09.200 hopes and dreams and you get to learn so many new things about them and to spoil that with like a

00:43:16.120 customer review section on every person like an airbnb review i just think ruins the magic and the whimsy

00:43:25.060 and the courtship and the romance well you know what these women are not interested in any of that

00:43:31.720 it just is well what do you i mean how do you explain the popularity of something like do you

00:43:37.200 want the yelp review on your dates hell no i don't want the yelp review on my dates are you kidding me

00:43:43.460 but i'm not going to be able to avoid it nobody's going to shut down this app right like in fact you

00:43:48.940 know it's going to be labeled as this for protection for women and all this stuff and and you know what

00:43:53.420 okay fine that's for you but guess what a lot of men are not really going to participate in this

00:43:58.980 system if that's what it meant just imagine why women are so okay go ahead hold on just imagine

00:44:04.740 if we did the same thing for women like if we had a yelp review oh my gosh app for the women we find on

00:44:15.180 dating apps just imagine how quickly that would get shut down for hate targeting any of that

00:44:23.260 stuff that would be a civil rights violation maybe a yeah maybe i mean you know in some part of it

00:44:30.200 even a hipaa violation i'm sure yeah i'm telling you it's going to be a so the fact that you know

00:44:37.700 this is something that exists it's just going to further degrade an already degraded dating market

00:44:42.640 in america do we know too much about each other going into relationships already too much is that one

00:44:47.700 of the sources for the loneliness epidemic that has impacted women and men in this i think it's

00:44:53.040 affecting i think if you really look at it what uh gosh i forgot who was talking about it but the

00:44:58.240 birth generations in america are down to i think 1.4 uh births per couple and it actually needs to be

00:45:06.220 at like 2.5 in order to sustain down yeah fertility is way down yeah we've been poisoning a generation

00:45:11.660 well we've been poisoning not only poisoning but you have these guys that are just trashed for being a

00:45:17.640 good dad oh he wanted he wanted to spend time with his kid not with me like what review is that

00:45:22.700 you know like never mind um you know he probably had purple hair as well uh but you know you look

00:45:29.320 at these poor people that need to go on there it's almost like a vindication they need to validate

00:45:35.460 themselves for their oh yeah it can't be their fault correct that's a very insightful um viewpoint that

00:45:41.620 it's not really about their their duty to warn you about this person it's them disclaiming the

00:45:48.080 responsibility for why things didn't work out and this app is a platform i think it takes two to tango

00:45:53.680 100 you know luckily uh you know my poor fiancee i met her when she was 18 at at the gym that sounds

00:45:59.820 really horrible but we both got married and did our own lives both and then we were able to rekindle

00:46:04.680 after both of us went through a divorce by pure accident and we i'll never forget you know her going

00:46:20.900 losing the weight and i was like oh gosh she knows me from fighting i was deathly afraid she said i was
