00:00:03.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.
00:00:05.000 Train by day.
00:00:07.000 Joe Rogan Podcast by night.
00:00:08.000 All day.
00:00:13.000 David Frost was interviewing Nixon.
00:00:14.000 They made that movie about it.
00:00:16.000 Oh, yeah?
00:00:16.000 It was like the big thing for David Frost.
00:00:18.000 He got Nixon to actually break about Watergate.
00:00:21.000 And the way that Nixon tried to throw him before the interview, they're just getting ready with all the cameras and stuff.
00:00:30.000 He goes, did you fornicate last night?
00:00:32.000 David Frost was like, why is the former president of the United States?
00:00:37.000 He was like, no.
00:00:39.000 So he tried to rattle him before the interview?
00:00:40.000 He tried to rattle him before the interview.
00:00:42.000 Nixon was so skillful. 0.96
00:00:44.000 Did you fornicate last night? 0.96
00:00:47.000 What?
00:00:48.000 Is that skillful, though? 0.97
00:00:49.000 It kind of fucked him up a little bit. 0.97
00:00:51.000 It seems like a Hail Mary. 0.93
00:00:53.000 Yeah, well, he was at the end of his game.
00:00:56.000 Did you ever hear the time when Nixon was riding?
00:00:59.000 They got a ride.
00:01:00.000 Hunter S. Thompson took a ride with Nixon, I believe to the airport, in his limo.
00:01:06.000 As long as I don't talk politics.
00:01:09.000 So they just talked about football the whole way.
00:01:11.000 Was he president at the time?
00:01:13.000 Yeah, he was president.
00:01:14.000 Oh my god.
00:01:15.000 I know, that's how weird the world was back then. 0.99
00:01:17.000 A fucking wackadoo like Hunter Thompson could get... 0.99
00:01:20.000 In a limousine with the President of the United States. 1.00
00:01:23.000 Pitch a ride.
00:01:24.000 Well, I think Nixon respected his football knowledge.
00:01:27.000 Because Hunter was a football fanatic.
00:01:30.000 Yeah.
00:01:31.000 And so he said Nixon was the real deal.
00:01:32.000 He said Nixon knew about all these draft picks from colleges.
00:01:37.000 He was following everything.
00:01:39.000 He was really smart.
00:01:40.000 Was he?
00:01:41.000 Yeah.
00:01:42.000 He was really smart and crafty, but he had a lot of fatal flaws.
00:01:47.000 Did you fornicate last night? 0.95
00:01:49.000 He was the oddest dude. 0.93
00:01:52.000 Such a weird looking dude.
00:01:54.000 Who's looked like that since, you know?
00:01:56.000 Mike Dukakis had a little bit of that in him, like a handsomer version of Nixon.
00:02:01.000 Just like thick.
00:02:03.000 Everything's thick.
00:02:05.000 The skin's thick, the eyebrows are thick.
00:02:08.000 Yeah, it's like leathery and always had a lot of Vaseline or something in the hair.
00:02:13.000 I'm not a crook.
00:02:15.000 I'm not a crook.
00:02:16.000 And he's just awkward with his movement.
00:02:19.000 Yeah, so weird.
00:02:21.000 Joints don't work right.
00:02:22.000 A political cartoonist's dream.
00:02:25.000 Oh yeah, for sure.
00:02:26.000 The big nose, the big jutting forehead.
00:02:29.000 See, there's a problem with political cartoonists today is that they're all liberal, right?
00:02:33.000 And most cartoonists are liberal and you're going to leave Biden alone, which is very unfortunate.
00:02:41.000 It should be indicative of the dilemma that we find ourselves in in 2021. Right.
00:02:49.000 Who's ever the guy is the butt of the joke or is the focus.
00:02:53.000 But this is a very unique dilemma because we were willing to overlook some serious problems with this guy because we hated Trump so much.
00:03:01.000 Right, exactly.
00:03:02.000 Oh, I know.
00:03:03.000 My nephews are really, really left.
00:03:07.000 They went to, like, Hampshire College, and they're just like, you couldn't get further over there.
00:03:11.000 And love them all.
00:03:13.000 But they were just super loved.
00:03:14.000 And our family group text...
00:03:17.000 Every once in a while, they'll send a thing about Biden going too far with Israel or having a bad record at the border.
00:03:27.000 And no one wants to discuss it in the family at all because they're so exhausted from Trump all those years.
00:03:34.000 They're like, we know he's not perfect, but at least he's not that.
00:03:37.000 And I feel like that's where the nation is.
00:03:39.000 It's like, I know, I know, but...
00:03:42.000 Well, some of the nation's there.
00:03:44.000 He's not tormenting us.
00:03:45.000 Some of the nation's there, but the rest of the nation is eroding faith in the institution of the news. 0.99
00:03:51.000 Because they're like, how come you fucking guys aren't paying attention to this? 1.00
00:03:53.000 How is he allowed to say all this crazy shit? 1.00
00:03:56.000 He's been saying ridiculous shit. 1.00
00:03:59.000 Have you paid attention to any of the gaffes, the things he said? 1.00
00:04:01.000 No.
00:04:02.000 What was the one recently about black people and businesses? 0.99
00:04:06.000 Because black people can't get loans, and black people, it's like, whoa! 1.00
00:04:10.000 It was such a blanket statement. 0.99
00:04:13.000 Right, right, right.
00:04:14.000 He says things sometimes like...
00:04:17.000 Come on, man!
00:04:20.000 What was the statement? 0.58
00:04:22.000 That poor kids, they're just as smart as white kids. 1.00
00:04:27.000 Like something along those lines.
00:04:28.000 Remember that?
00:04:29.000 Yes, I do. 1.00
00:04:29.000 It's like, hey, grandpa, the fuck off the microphone. 1.00
00:04:33.000 I know. 1.00
00:04:34.000 But at least he's not just tormenting us nonstop.
00:04:36.000 But you're right.
00:04:37.000 I mean, there should be...
00:04:38.000 Look, this is why there's a real problem is that there's nobody that just takes the center and just deals with news.
00:04:46.000 It's all team-based.
00:04:49.000 It's also woke talking points that they feed him.
00:04:52.000 Yeah.
00:04:53.000 And, you know, you...
00:04:55.000 And then he butchers them.
00:04:56.000 He butchers them.
00:04:57.000 And you compare it to things that he said in the past.
00:04:59.000 This is not how you really feel about these things.
00:05:02.000 Yeah.
00:05:04.000 It's just the teams.
00:05:05.000 It's the teams.
00:05:06.000 It's tribal. 0.64
00:05:07.000 I know.
00:05:08.000 It's like, if you could just break down the teams.
00:05:10.000 That's the...
00:05:11.000 That's the most disheartening part of all of it.
00:05:14.000 It's almost like we don't...
00:05:16.000 I was thinking the other day, when we grew up, we had Russia.
00:05:19.000 And you had Rocky movies, and Reagan was going after him, and Stallone was going after Draco, whatever his name was.
00:05:26.000 We had this enemy that we all could focus on.
00:05:30.000 And now we have an absence of that.
00:05:33.000 And we're looking at each other as the enemy, which has never happened in our lifetime, ever.
00:05:38.000 It's so horrible that people from different parts of our country are hating on each other.
00:05:43.000 I've never seen it.
00:05:45.000 Well, it's exacerbated by Trump.
00:05:47.000 It was.
00:05:47.000 Even with Obama in office, it was never that bad.
00:05:50.000 No. 0.93
00:05:50.000 Even the people that were ridiculous with Obama. 0.93
00:05:52.000 Do you remember when, I guess it was Fox News or whatever conservatives, they were furious that Obama had a tan suit on? 0.87
00:06:00.000 Yeah, that was the big controversy.
00:06:02.000 That was the big controversy.
00:06:04.000 That and when he fist bumped his wife. 0.98
00:06:06.000 Isn't that amazing?
00:06:08.000 Imagine those two things being controversial now in the wake of Trump.
00:06:12.000 I know.
00:06:13.000 So Trump exacerbated everything, exaggerated everything.
00:06:16.000 Everything got so over the top that people on the left haven't calmed down yet.
00:06:21.000 Remember when he got out of office as soon as Biden got in?
00:06:24.000 And they're like, we're going to make a list if anybody supported Trump and you're never going to work again.
00:06:29.000 You're never gonna work again!
00:06:31.000 Your kids are gonna starve!
00:06:33.000 It was PTSD. It was really, people are just like, they see his name and you twitch.
00:06:39.000 Yeah, they go crazy.
00:06:40.000 But really, it's like, so what is our new thing to focus?
00:06:45.000 China doesn't seem to do it.
00:06:47.000 That's the bigger competitor, but they're not like that cartoonish enemy that we had with Russ Stallone's not going to China and taking on that guy.
00:06:56.000 It doesn't have that thing.
00:06:58.000 You gotta temper down the...
00:07:00.000 New York is not the enemy of Texas.
00:07:04.000 Alabama is not the enemy of...
00:07:07.000 California.
00:07:07.000 We're united.
00:07:09.000 The thing is, right now, we're in a confused state, like a post-COVID confused state where things aren't totally normal yet.
00:07:18.000 It's weird.
00:07:21.000 It's definitely weird.
00:07:22.000 What's happening?
00:07:23.000 Are we okay?
00:07:24.000 Yeah, I know.
00:07:25.000 Not quite yet, right?
00:07:26.000 Yeah.
00:07:26.000 No, it's really true.
00:07:29.000 It's like fits and starts.
00:07:31.000 Even when I'm coming here, I was like, oh, this is the land of no mask.
00:07:34.000 And I went into two places and was told to put on a mask.
00:07:38.000 And I was like, oh, we're not...
00:07:39.000 Okay, so your rules...
00:07:41.000 No, Austin, people wear masks.
00:07:43.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:07:43.000 But when you get outside of Austin, you go to like Round Rock, and you go like, they don't give a fuck. 0.99
00:07:48.000 Pflugerville, they don't give a fuck. 1.00
00:07:50.000 Oh, the people in Pflugerville. 1.00
00:07:51.000 You go out that way, go out to like Dripping Springs, they don't give a fuck. 0.99
00:07:55.000 There's no more COVID for them. 0.99
00:07:56.000 Right.
00:07:57.000 Yeah.
00:07:58.000 They gave up.
00:07:58.000 By the way, it was like that like six months ago.
00:08:01.000 I'm not kidding.
00:08:02.000 I believe you.
00:08:03.000 Yeah.
00:08:03.000 No, there were a lot of places like that.
00:08:06.000 In the limited touring that I was doing, I went to Omaha, and I was in Kansas City, and I was coming from the perspective of California, and I'm like, hey, look at us.
00:08:17.000 We're all out.
00:08:18.000 And they were like, yeah, we've been out. 1.00
00:08:20.000 They were like- Florida doesn't give a fuck. 1.00
00:08:22.000 They really don't give a fuck. 1.00
00:08:24.000 No. 0.99
00:08:24.000 We just did an arena in Houston for the UFC, and we did an arena in Florida before that. 0.99
00:08:31.000 15,000 people packed, and it felt crazy.
00:08:34.000 It felt crazy.
00:08:35.000 Like, are we really doing this?
00:08:36.000 Yeah.
00:08:37.000 Is this really happening?
00:08:37.000 But by the time we did the second one in Houston, it was like, yeah, we're back to arenas.
00:08:41.000 Yay! 0.99
00:08:42.000 Crowds.
00:08:42.000 Full crowds for the fights.
00:08:44.000 That's so great.
00:08:45.000 Yeah, man. 1.00
00:08:46.000 Just take your fucking vitamins. 1.00
00:08:47.000 Just do it. 1.00
00:08:48.000 Go.
00:08:49.000 It's time.
00:08:49.000 I mean, this is all the plan.
00:08:50.000 It's like we're here.
00:08:51.000 We're here.
00:08:52.000 I was at the car wash the other day.
00:08:55.000 And it's in L.A. And there's like the outdoor seating where you wait for your car.
00:09:00.000 And there's like 12 people in chairs.
00:09:02.000 And I came out and everybody had the masks down around their chin.
00:09:06.000 And I was like...
00:09:07.000 What's that?
00:09:08.000 What's that protecting?
00:09:09.000 I've been kind of like walking around with no mask, right?
00:09:12.000 And then I went into...
00:09:14.000 And I sat down, and so I had my mask in my pocket.
00:09:18.000 And I started talking to this guy next to me.
00:09:20.000 And I look over, and all those people then had their mask lifted up.
00:09:23.000 And there was an older couple there with their mask on.
00:09:26.000 So everybody had it low.
00:09:27.000 The old couple walked out.
00:09:28.000 They all put it back up.
00:09:30.000 And I'm sitting there with nothing on my chin.
00:09:31.000 Now I felt like...
00:09:33.000 The bad guy.
00:09:34.000 So I had to, like, buy a red bullet out of my pocket.
00:09:37.000 It's like, but June 15th, that's all over.
00:09:40.000 Right?
00:09:41.000 June 15th, that's not going to be a thing.
00:09:43.000 California's crossing that threshold.
00:09:45.000 So, all right, if we're at June 15th, like, well...
00:09:48.000 What's today?
00:09:49.000 Why am I doing...
00:09:50.000 Right, right, exactly.
00:09:51.000 What magic thing...
00:09:52.000 What is today's date?
00:09:54.000 Today's the 4th.
00:09:54.000 The 4th?
00:09:55.000 Oh, we got just a few more days and it's normal.
00:09:58.000 And it's normal.
00:09:59.000 Countdown to normal.
00:10:00.000 So what game are we playing here?
00:10:01.000 Well, did you read the Fauci emails?
00:10:03.000 Yes.
00:10:04.000 The Freedom of Information emails?
00:10:05.000 That's really crazy.
00:10:06.000 Because he, first of all, he's admitting in these emails that masks don't work.
00:10:12.000 He was he?
00:10:13.000 Yes.
00:10:13.000 Yeah, he talked about it.
00:10:14.000 He talked about it openly.
00:10:16.000 Wait, I didn't know that part.
00:10:18.000 I thought you were going to talk about the crazy thing.
00:10:20.000 Well, that too.
00:10:20.000 But here's the thing.
00:10:21.000 Part of the email was, look, part of the mask conversation with Fauci has always been that at the beginning of the pandemic, he said masks didn't work.
00:10:29.000 But then he said, the reason he said that is because there wasn't enough masks for first responders and hospital staff, and he wanted to make sure that the supply wasn't diminished.
00:10:37.000 So he said that he didn't tell the truth.
00:10:40.000 But in these emails, these are private emails, he's saying masks don't work.
00:10:47.000 For real?
00:10:47.000 Yes.
00:10:48.000 He's saying they're not effective for what you, outside of a hospital setting, these masks, like for personal use, the kind of cloth masks and paper masks that everybody's wearing, they're not effective.
00:11:00.000 They're not, they can't, exactly what did he say?
00:11:02.000 Let's pull it up so we get exactly what he said.
00:11:04.000 But that's not even the big part.
00:11:06.000 The big part is he's talking about gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab.
00:11:11.000 And he's concerned about it and thinking whether or not they had paused that and whether they're still doing that.
00:11:17.000 And he's trying to connect the gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab with this COVID breakout and whether or not that's where it came from.
00:11:25.000 Right.
00:11:25.000 Why is that a big deal?
00:11:26.000 Because they funded it.
00:11:29.000 The NIH funded these people who funded the gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab, which means they're responsible for funding the very research that led to this outbreak if that's where it came from.
00:11:42.000 Right.
00:11:43.000 So all this time when he's been saying it came from nature, there's no way it came from a lab.
00:11:47.000 Well, you know that's shifted, right?
00:11:49.000 Now everybody's saying it came from a lab.
00:11:51.000 Right.
00:11:51.000 Right.
00:11:52.000 But then not confirmed yet.
00:11:53.000 Because the evidence.
00:11:54.000 Right.
00:11:54.000 But the evidence is pointing...
00:11:56.000 Yeah.
00:11:56.000 As it's most likely that it came from a lab.
00:11:58.000 This whole time, Fauci's been saying it didn't, but you see in his emails that he was concerned.
00:12:04.000 Well, concerned, but isn't that like just trying to figure out what the information is?
00:12:10.000 Not really.
00:12:10.000 Because he doesn't definitively know either, right?
00:12:13.000 There's a lot of indications, according to the email, that he's talking to another scientist.
00:12:17.000 The scientist points out the variables or the components of the virus that seem to indicate that it possibly came from a lab.
00:12:28.000 But publicly, he's been out and out dismissing that because he's connected to that research.
00:12:35.000 Because he's connected to the very research they were doing there. 0.99
00:12:39.000 It's really complicated shit. 0.99
00:12:41.000 Rand Paul's been grilling him. 0.99
00:12:43.000 Have you seen those things?
00:12:44.000 He goes, typical mask you buy in a drugstore is not really effective in keeping out the virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.
00:12:51.000 It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keeping out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you.
00:12:57.000 I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you're going to a very low-risk location.
00:13:03.000 See, this is just him saying that these drugstore masks are not really effective.
00:13:07.000 Right.
00:13:07.000 But this is in an email after he has said publicly that you didn't have to wear masks because they didn't really help.
00:13:16.000 And then he's saying this in...
00:13:18.000 After that, he said that he wasn't telling the truth there because he didn't want people to buy all the masks.
00:13:23.000 But then he's saying this after that in an email that they don't really work, but yet he's wearing a mask all the time.
00:13:29.000 But that's kind of like, there is shades in that.
00:13:31.000 There's like the- Gross droplets.
00:13:33.000 Gross droplets.
00:13:34.000 And if you're in a low-risk location, like what's his motivation to- Why would he profess masks if he thought part and parcel that they don't work?
00:13:48.000 First of all, the narrative is everybody needs to mask up.
00:13:50.000 But why?
00:13:51.000 Well, because it makes people feel safer, A. It helps people get back to work, B. And it obviously is providing some benefit.
00:13:58.000 Yeah.
00:13:59.000 Listen, this is my take on it.
00:14:00.000 Something's happening because the flu cases are down so low.
00:14:04.000 Oh, yeah.
00:14:04.000 So is that because of people wearing masks?
00:14:07.000 Is that because of social distancing because everybody's kind of freaked out and staying away from each other for so long?
00:14:12.000 Washing their hands everywhere they go, having Purell at every spot?
00:14:17.000 I don't think that's it.
00:14:17.000 I don't think that's it because you're talking about something that's airborne.
00:14:20.000 Well, for that, but for you to get a cold, you know, your hands and touching your shit. 1.00
00:14:25.000 Maybe. 1.00
00:14:25.000 All those things, all those things. 1.00
00:14:27.000 Yeah, maybe.
00:14:28.000 But there's something, there's very well likely something to masks that maybe we weren't aware of.
00:14:35.000 So even what he's saying there, that it might just keep out gross droplets.
00:14:39.000 Yeah.
00:14:39.000 But isn't it all about viral load?
00:14:42.000 Because that's the thing they say about hospital workers. 1.00
00:14:45.000 Hospital workers, when they're exposed to so much, that's when it's overwhelming and they really get sick.
00:14:51.000 So maybe that's what these masks are good for.
00:14:54.000 What is this?
00:14:57.000 Yeah, get that.
00:14:58.000 There you go.
00:15:00.000 Which are the protective measures anyone should take against the new virus?
00:15:04.000 Do masks work?
00:15:05.000 He said, the vast majority of people outside China do not need to wear a mask.
00:15:09.000 Read the Fauci-approved response.
00:15:11.000 A mask is more appropriate for someone who's infected than for people trying to protect against infection.
00:15:17.000 Right.
00:15:18.000 My whole thing with all of this is it's been very confusing.
00:15:24.000 Every governor's making decisions. 0.75
00:15:26.000 Everybody around the world is trying to figure shit out and calling a lockdown or calling not a lockdown. 0.60
00:15:31.000 Everyone's like unlimited information trying to make the best decisions that they can. 0.83
00:15:36.000 I don't think that...
00:15:37.000 As a governor of a state, you're making a decision to screw up the economy on purpose.
00:15:42.000 I don't think that Fauci is talking about masks to harm people.
00:15:48.000 You know what I mean?
00:15:49.000 I feel like they just have limited information and are trying to muddle their way through the best that they can.
00:15:57.000 That's not the real problem is the mask thing.
00:15:59.000 It's a small problem. 0.99
00:15:59.000 The real problem is this gain-of-function research shit. 0.99
00:16:02.000 This is the very research that they were doing where they were juicing up... 0.99
00:16:06.000 What is gain-of-function?
00:16:07.000 They were juicing up these viruses to make them more infectious, and they were practicing trying to use...
00:16:13.000 I think they used human lung tissue and tried to get the virus to be more...
00:16:19.000 The idea is with...
00:16:21.000 I mean, I'm going to butcher this for sure, but I think the idea is when they're doing this research, they want to find out what makes these viruses more infectious.
00:16:29.000 And they were doing it on the original SARS as well, which has like a 10% fatality rate, which is very scary.
00:16:37.000 This stuff is less than 1%, but that stuff is way worse.
00:16:41.000 Yeah.
00:16:41.000 And by doing this gain-of-function research, they run the risk of people getting sick.
00:16:46.000 We just found out a couple of weeks ago that in November of 2019, three workers from the lab in Wuhan got sent home, or sent to the hospital rather, really ill with coronavirus-like symptoms.
00:17:00.000 And this was before they had COVID-19 tests, right?
00:17:04.000 Uh-huh.
00:17:05.000 So these people got sent home.
00:17:06.000 I believe one of the guy's wives died from COVID, and they think this was the initial infection.
00:17:13.000 So these people in the lab got sick.
00:17:15.000 So all this time while they were trying to dismiss this lab outbreak, That had been hidden from us, that these three people in the lab got sick.
00:17:24.000 The fact that Fauci had something to do with that gain-of-function research and funding that gain-of-function research, that had kind of been hidden from us.
00:17:33.000 Josh Rogan exposed that.
00:17:35.000 But that makes it seem like Fauci's putting on scrubs and walking down the halls of that place.
00:17:40.000 You know what I mean?
00:17:41.000 Is Fauci really in there?
00:17:43.000 You know what I mean?
00:17:44.000 Are you defending Fauci?
00:17:46.000 Yeah, like I don't know.
00:17:48.000 I think that he's been put up as someone we can take our fears and anger and throw it at.
00:17:54.000 But is he like, he may be part of like, you know, these things are huge.
00:17:58.000 Like there's a big board of people that decide what they're going to research.
00:18:02.000 You've got to read these emails.
00:18:03.000 You've got to read these emails.
00:18:04.000 I know.
00:18:05.000 So do you think that he's evil?
00:18:06.000 Do you think that he is?
00:18:07.000 No, I'm not saying that.
00:18:08.000 So what are you saying? 1.00
00:18:10.000 I think someone fucked up. 1.00
00:18:11.000 I think they're trying to cover up the fact that they fucked up. 1.00
00:18:13.000 Ah, okay. 0.99
00:18:14.000 I think the whole reason why they've been saying that this thing came from nature, it's a natural spillover, is I don't think they're saying that because that's the most likely scenario. 0.99
00:18:23.000 I think they're saying that because they fucked up. 0.99
00:18:26.000 Right. 1.00
00:18:27.000 They didn't want everyone to know that they fucked up. 0.99
00:18:31.000 And I think having the position of power and having the position of authority that he had, he could say, there's no indication this came from a lab. 0.99
00:18:42.000 Who is they? 0.99
00:18:43.000 Who fucked up? 1.00
00:18:44.000 Well, the lab in Wuhan for sure fucked up. 1.00
00:18:47.000 Okay, so who runs that lab? 0.97
00:18:49.000 Well, I don't know, but I do know that the NIH funded an organization.
00:18:54.000 They gave money to an organization which gave money to that lab.
00:18:58.000 That's the official story.
00:19:00.000 Got it.
00:19:00.000 And this is the story that Rand Paul talked about when he was grilling Fauci.
00:19:05.000 This is also what Josh Rogan talked about.
00:19:08.000 He's a journalist that investigated all this.
00:19:10.000 What Josh Rogan was saying was that during the Trump administration everything was so chaotic That they were able to restart this kind of dangerous research that Obama had put the brakes on. 0.99
00:19:21.000 Obama apparently was like, what the fuck are you doing? 0.98
00:19:24.000 Why are you making viruses more deadly? 1.00
00:19:26.000 Stop! 1.00
00:19:29.000 And then Trump was over there going, I'm number one, I'm the best. 1.00
00:19:33.000 And they're like, I got an idea, let's start that fucking research. 0.99
00:19:36.000 Let it fly! 0.99
00:19:38.000 Virus force.
00:19:39.000 I mean, it's interesting because some news organizations are ignoring it completely and other organizations are attacking.
00:19:48.000 That's when you see whether or not the news is really the news.
00:19:52.000 Because you see the difference between the way the left-wing news is covering it, which is a lot of them are just out and out ignoring it. 0.67
00:19:57.000 And then the right-wing news coverage, they're constantly bringing up these emails and pulling them out and hashtag fire Fauci and all this different shit. 0.74
00:20:04.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.97
00:20:05.000 Well, that's the thing.
00:20:06.000 It's like once you start...
00:20:09.000 Calling out, like, this is our side's thing.
00:20:12.000 Like, I saw that there was a headline in the New Yorker or the New York Times that said why it's so important to figure out whether this lab theory is correct or not.
00:20:25.000 And it was like, that was kind of the first time I saw it in those papers.
00:20:31.000 Oh no, it was in Newsweek a couple months ago.
00:20:34.000 No, but I'm saying...
00:20:35.000 That was like the first shot fired.
00:20:37.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:20:37.000 Because you see it on the cover of Newsweek when they start to consider it again.
00:20:41.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:20:41.000 But it was political.
00:20:43.000 Yeah, it was totally political. 1.00
00:20:44.000 Trump was such a polarizing figure, and people hated him so much that anything that guy said, everybody was like, fuck him, let's go the other way. 1.00
00:20:54.000 He said it came from a lab, but it definitely didn't come from a fucking lab. 1.00
00:20:57.000 Yeah, well, that's the boy that cried wolf syndrome, right? 0.99
00:21:02.000 He kind of did that to himself. 1.00
00:21:04.000 He just keeps saying such crazy shit and calling out everybody and yelling. 0.99
00:21:11.000 But meanwhile, Fauci just wrote a book. 0.99
00:21:14.000 So he's releasing a book on this now.
00:21:16.000 Making money off of a book.
00:21:17.000 I know.
00:21:18.000 Yeah.
00:21:19.000 And he's also the same guy that told us we would never shake hands again.
00:21:22.000 I think he's adorable though.
00:21:24.000 He's little.
00:21:24.000 He's got like a little, like a Bronx kind of thing going.
00:21:27.000 I got an action figure somebody sent me.
00:21:29.000 A Fauci action figure.
00:21:30.000 Yeah.
00:21:31.000 With a mask on.
00:21:32.000 It has a mask on.
00:21:33.000 Sitting on my desk.
00:21:34.000 He's adorable.
00:21:35.000 He's funny.
00:21:36.000 Put him out there.
00:21:37.000 He's like, you know, there's like all, look, I would love to know what that will...
00:21:42.000 Okay, so if we're trying to get into the truth of it, which is what we need, right?
00:21:46.000 We need to know...
00:21:47.000 Well, obviously, you and me are not going to get into the truth of it.
00:21:49.000 Please.
00:21:49.000 You could tell me the fact right now, and I'll forget it by the next subject.
00:21:55.000 But if they're trying to figure that out, who is behind Wuhan?
00:21:58.000 Who is making those decisions to do all this stuff?
00:22:01.000 And is that a global thing?
00:22:03.000 Is the US a huge part of it?
00:22:06.000 Was Norway really involved?
00:22:08.000 I don't know what it is.
00:22:08.000 They have a bunch of labs in China, apparently, that do this kind of work.
00:22:12.000 And they do different kinds of work at different kinds of labs.
00:22:15.000 And the real fear is that some labs in the world, some places in the world, they do weaponized virus work.
00:22:24.000 God.
00:22:25.000 Terrifying.
00:22:25.000 That's terrifying.
00:22:27.000 Terrifying.
00:22:27.000 They did that in Russia.
00:22:28.000 We actually covered that on this sci-fi show that I hosted years back.
00:22:32.000 Oh yeah?
00:22:32.000 We covered the idea of weaponized viruses.
00:22:35.000 But the thing that they told me when we went to the CDC down in Galveston, Texas, they have this big building where they house basically every fucking terrible disease known to man. 0.98
00:22:45.000 Big thick-ass walls and ventilation systems and everyone's wearing spacesuits and me and Duncan are high as fuck wandering around this place. 0.99
00:22:52.000 No. 0.98
00:22:53.000 You brought Duncan?
00:22:54.000 Yeah, me and Duncan went down there.
00:22:56.000 Oh, that's great.
00:22:57.000 And the guy was saying that what he's really worried about more than anything is things that come from nature.
00:23:02.000 He's like, we could worry all day about weaponized viruses.
00:23:05.000 And he goes, but the possibility of that is low compared to the possibility of something jumping from nature, which is very high.
00:23:13.000 Well, that's why during this whole debate of whether it's the lab or the bat, I would rather it be that it came from the lab.
00:23:22.000 Like the idea that, so there's just a bat that's, and then one person eats it or kisses it on the lips and now we're all, like, you know what I mean?
00:23:30.000 That's so random to me.
00:23:32.000 It was like the lab thing I could get my head around.
00:23:34.000 It's like, okay, somebody's screwing up and they go through the thing without being sprayed down.
00:23:39.000 Okay, that's manmade.
00:23:41.000 You expect there to be mistakes.
00:23:42.000 But if there's just like some weird wombat That bites some kid on the ankle and then we're all screwed? 0.99
00:23:49.000 That is terrifying.
00:23:50.000 I'd much rather it be the lab story.
00:23:53.000 Interesting.
00:23:54.000 Right?
00:23:54.000 No.
00:23:55.000 Yeah!
00:23:56.000 No.
00:23:57.000 No, because the lab ones, they kind of can see how they jump.
00:24:01.000 Or rather, the nature spillover ones, they can kind of see how they jump.
00:24:05.000 They see intermediate steps, they see how it leaps from one animal.
00:24:09.000 The idea was that it went from a bat to a pangolin, a pangolin to a person.
00:24:13.000 But you didn't know until we're all screwed up and people are not able to breathe that it came from the bat. 0.94
00:24:22.000 If we knew beforehand, hey, the bats are really bad, then we could go out and kill the bats. 0.97
00:24:27.000 But we don't know that beforehand.
00:24:29.000 What?
00:24:29.000 Kill the bats?
00:24:30.000 Nobody's saying we're going to kill the bats. 0.98
00:24:32.000 Well, we should if they're... 0.96
00:24:34.000 Should we exterminate the bats? 0.96
00:24:35.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:24:36.000 Yeah.
00:24:40.000 Yeah, I think they're really worried about livestock.
00:24:43.000 That's what they're worried about the most, right?
00:24:44.000 Like these swine flus and avian flus, those are the scary ones.
00:24:48.000 And those are the ones that have traditionally been super deadly.
00:24:52.000 Those have come from livestock, a lot of them.
00:24:55.000 A lot of the pandemics, that's where they jump.
00:24:58.000 They jump from...
00:24:58.000 Mad cow disease?
00:24:59.000 No, no, mad cow disease is a totally different thing.
00:25:02.000 Mad cow disease, you have to actually eat the meat because it's a prion disease. 0.99
00:25:05.000 So what it is is like brain tissue that these cows are eating.
00:25:09.000 They're eating their own brain tissue.
00:25:11.000 Ew.
00:25:11.000 Yeah, that's how mad...
00:25:13.000 Mad cow disease is kind of fucked because what it is is like farmers feeding cows, ground up cows. 0.99
00:25:20.000 Ew. 0.99
00:25:21.000 Yeah.
00:25:21.000 They did that to get more protein in the cow's diets.
00:25:25.000 And cannibals, whether it's cows or even humans, it creates, when you eat human neural tissue, I think that's what it is.
00:25:35.000 It's brain tissue or neural tissue.
00:25:37.000 It creates this thing called, what is it, Jakob's Krutzfeld disease?
00:25:43.000 And that disease is the same thing as mad cow. 1.00
00:25:47.000 It's also a prion disease like chronic wasting disease, which is a disease that's infecting deer all across the country right now.
00:25:56.000 And it's a real crazy issue because it hasn't jumped from deer to people.
00:26:01.000 You can eat a deer that has chronic wasting disease, but you're eating prions that even though they don't affect humans, you can't even kill them in a lab.
00:26:11.000 Like when they take these implements, like instruments rather, like say if someone does an operation on a person who has mad cow disease, right?
00:26:18.000 Yeah.
00:26:19.000 They've taken these instruments they use for surgery and they've put them in a thousand degree temperature for hours and the prions are still alive.
00:26:30.000 Why are you trying to scare me?
00:26:31.000 You know, I try and say that it's the lab, and then you tell me that nature's not as scary, then you bring that out, that sounds terrifying.
00:26:38.000 There's so much that can get us out there.
00:26:40.000 There's a lot that can get us out there.
00:26:41.000 There's so much!
00:26:41.000 And even like, not even like the big stuff, like just small like poison ivy.
00:26:46.000 How about ticks?
00:26:47.000 How about the Lyme disease? 1.00
00:26:48.000 Fucking Lyme disease. 1.00
00:26:49.000 Oh my god! 0.99
00:26:49.000 I have a friend that has had Lyme disease, he has wrecked No exaggeration. 0.99
00:26:54.000 It has wrecked the last 10 years of his life.
00:26:57.000 He's been in a hungover fog for 10 years.
00:27:02.000 Yeah, Lyme disease is horrible.
00:27:04.000 Horrible.
00:27:04.000 And there's real speculation that Lyme disease was actually a weaponized disease that got out.
00:27:10.000 Ah, jeez.
00:27:11.000 Did you know that?
00:27:12.000 No, I didn't know that.
00:27:13.000 Who did that? 0.91
00:27:14.000 CIA. Here it goes.
00:27:16.000 Ah, jeez.
00:27:17.000 In 1981, a scientist who was studying Rocky Mountain spotted fever, also caused by a tick bite, began to study Lyme disease.
00:27:24.000 This scientist, Willy Bergdorfer...
00:27:27.000 I don't trust him.
00:27:28.000 ...found the connection between the deer tick and the disease.
00:27:31.000 He discovered that the bacterium called Spirochet carried by ticks was causing Lyme.
00:27:36.000 The medical community honored Dr. Bergdorf's discovery in 1982 by name...
00:27:41.000 82?
00:27:43.000 Okay, with extensive backgrounds on Lyme patients and scientific discoveries that ensued, doctors began to use several antibiotics to treat the disease.
00:27:53.000 What is the CIA part about it?
00:27:55.000 I jumped the gun, sorry.
00:27:56.000 Yeah, give me the CIA part about it.
00:27:58.000 We do love the 80s, but...
00:28:00.000 Hold on a second.
00:28:01.000 Because this CIA speculation is pretty recent.
00:28:04.000 It's pretty recent that there was some work that they were doing with the idea of spreading diseases through ticks, which is like, what kind of government do we have?
00:28:15.000 Yeah, what are you doing to us? 0.98
00:28:16.000 These guys are sitting around with cigars going, I got a fucking idea. 0.99
00:28:20.000 Exactly. 0.99
00:28:21.000 You know what?
00:28:21.000 Some claim that Lyme disease was introduced into the northeastern region of the U.S. by a man-made strain of Borrelia burgodorferi.
00:28:32.000 There's so many words.
00:28:33.000 So it must be named after that doctor.
00:28:34.000 That escaped from a high-containment biological warfare laboratory on Plum Island.
00:28:39.000 However, there's ample evidence to indicate that both Ixodes...
00:28:44.000 What does that mean?
00:28:46.000 It cuts off.
00:28:47.000 There's so many weird words.
00:28:49.000 Plum Island, that doesn't sound good.
00:28:51.000 That sounds like a place where they do tests on kids, and like, you know what I mean?
00:28:56.000 Right, they trick them with plums. 0.98
00:28:58.000 They lure them in to the van with plums, drop them off on that island.
00:29:03.000 You can only get there with one boat.
00:29:04.000 And they do weird tests, and it's creepy hallways, and it's always wet.
00:29:07.000 It's one boat a day.
00:29:09.000 It leaves at 6 p.m.
00:29:10.000 If you miss it, you stay for the day.
00:29:12.000 Yeah, did the U.S. event Lyme disease in the 60s?
00:29:15.000 The House aims to find out.
00:29:16.000 Okay, the House is investigating this.
00:29:19.000 In the 1960s, on an 840-acre island at the entrance of the Long Island Sound, scientists at the highly guarded Plum Island Animal Disease Center were at the forefront of a U.S. biological weapons research.
00:29:31.000 Wow.
00:29:32.000 Specifically, they sought to create pathogens that could be deployed stealthily via insects.
00:29:37.000 Listen, bro, for sure that got out that way.
00:29:40.000 Skip ahead to 1975 when the nearby town of Old Lyme, Connecticut became the epicenter of a strange tick-borne illness.
00:29:48.000 Oh, that's why it's Lyme?
00:29:50.000 Exactly.
00:29:50.000 Children began to report unusual skin rashes, chronic fatigue, and swollen knees.
00:29:55.000 In 1981, the condition was named Lyme disease.
00:29:57.000 A conspiracy theory spread like a fever.
00:29:59.000 The researchers at Plum Island had engineered a new sickness, one that now affects more than 30,000 Americans per year.
00:30:06.000 Yeah, it probably did.
00:30:07.000 So why is it predominantly in deer? 1.00
00:30:09.000 Because it's right next to that fucking place. 1.00
00:30:11.000 No, like deer. 1.00
00:30:13.000 Because the deer get infected by the ticks.
00:30:15.000 So they've got the ticks.
00:30:16.000 They carry the ticks. 0.56
00:30:17.000 The ticks carry the disease.
00:30:19.000 Wherever the deer are, the ticks live.
00:30:21.000 The ticks get onto people.
00:30:22.000 People get the disease.
00:30:24.000 You know, I just want to walk down the Appalachian Trail, roast some marshmallows with my family.
00:30:30.000 Don't get bit by a tick, bro.
00:30:32.000 I know!
00:30:33.000 Oh my god.
00:30:34.000 So that's the theory, and apparently there's some merit to it.
00:30:38.000 I've talked to people that are like in intelligence agencies, and they think there might be some merit to that.
00:30:44.000 Now let me ask you this general question.
00:30:46.000 General.
00:30:49.000 That creates some sense of calm almost because you get an idea like, oh, that came from Plum Island, from those weirdos, and they did the thing.
00:30:58.000 With all of these theories of where the stuff came from and all, does it calm us down to have a story rather than live with the reality that we live on this crazy, germ-filled, virus-filled planet that we have no control over and no real narrative?
00:31:17.000 We're basically living in chaos.
00:31:19.000 Is that why people crave these stories?
00:31:22.000 Do they crave these stories?
00:31:24.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:31:25.000 For sure, we live on this crazy, germ-filled, predator-filled, dangerous planet.
00:31:32.000 That's a fact, right?
00:31:33.000 And there's for sure a bunch of diseases and a bunch of poisons and toxins and things that can kill us, for sure. 0.98
00:31:39.000 But I don't know why it would give you calm to think some fucking spooks, some crazy CIA freaks, invented some goddamn weaponized disease that infected bugs and then they released it and then it accidentally got to Lyme, 0.99
00:31:54.000 Connecticut and started fucking up kids' lives. 0.99
00:31:57.000 I don't know why that would make you calm. 0.98
00:31:59.000 The same reason I don't know why, like, coronavirus coming from a lab would be better.
00:32:03.000 Like, oh, it's better!
00:32:05.000 It's better that it came from a laugh.
00:32:06.000 Because you could go, oh, it was that guy.
00:32:09.000 That guy.
00:32:11.000 Those creeps on Plum Island did it. 0.96
00:32:13.000 I don't know.
00:32:13.000 Rather than it just came out of the sewer and attacked us.
00:32:17.000 I read about a lady who had HIV, so she has a very compromised immune system, and she got COVID, and she had it for over 200 days, and the virus mutated in her body 30 times.
00:32:31.000 Ew.
00:32:31.000 I don't know what that means, but it sounds disgusting.
00:32:34.000 The variance.
00:32:36.000 You have to take into account all the variance.
00:32:41.000 Isn't it amazing how the fear of words like that, like, okay, so my family's vaccinated, we're all good, and I'm like, I am good to go.
00:32:52.000 I'm going to the comedy store, I'm just like, I don't even have a mask in my car, and my wife's like, You might want to be a little more cautious. 0.94
00:32:59.000 And I'm like, why?
00:33:01.000 This was the plan.
00:33:02.000 I'm good.
00:33:03.000 I followed the rules.
00:33:04.000 I did the things.
00:33:05.000 I'm good to go.
00:33:06.000 She's like, but the variants. 0.98
00:33:08.000 And it's like, what do you know from the variants?
00:33:10.000 Like, what do you mean the variants?
00:33:12.000 But I understand it because you're locked on to the fearful words that they've kept spilling over us for all this time.
00:33:19.000 And maybe it will turn out that a variant comes out of it.
00:33:23.000 Not now.
00:33:24.000 There's no variant.
00:33:24.000 There's variants.
00:33:25.000 But there's no variant that is able to perpetrate the vaccine.
00:33:31.000 Incorrect.
00:33:32.000 It is not true.
00:33:32.000 Yes.
00:33:33.000 Incorrect.
00:33:34.000 Incorrect.
00:33:34.000 The South African variant, 100%.
00:33:36.000 People that were vaccinated or people that...
00:33:41.000 It was either people that were vaccinated or people that had the antibodies from the original COVID encountered the South African variant and it was almost like they had no protection at all.
00:33:52.000 You know, sometimes I think you make things up just to scare me.
00:33:54.000 That's what Fauci said.
00:33:55.000 I'm repeating exactly what he said.
00:33:57.000 But we're not supposed to believe Fauci, you said.
00:34:00.000 I believe some of the things he said.
00:34:02.000 Ah, come on.
00:34:02.000 Now I'm really confused.
00:34:03.000 He's an infectious disease expert.
00:34:05.000 Can I go to the coffee shop without it?
00:34:07.000 That is what he said.
00:34:07.000 Is my wife right?
00:34:08.000 I think you should take vitamin D. I think you should exercise.
00:34:11.000 I think you should drink a lot of water.
00:34:12.000 Take care of yourself.
00:34:13.000 Yeah.
00:34:14.000 I think you should take all the vitamins, quercetin, zinc, fish oil, all those things.
00:34:19.000 I've heard fish oil is no good.
00:34:21.000 That's not true.
00:34:21.000 The reason why you don't die from the disease, like everybody doesn't die from it, is because your immune system protects you.
00:34:27.000 Your immune system fights off the disease and you survive.
00:34:30.000 The key is having an immune system that's so strong that you never really get sick.
00:34:34.000 But it's possible to do.
00:34:36.000 It's just not easy and it takes a concerted effort over a long period of time to protect yourself We're good to go.
00:34:51.000 We're good to go.
00:35:01.000 No.
00:35:02.000 Generally, when viruses mutate, this is, again, me. 1.00
00:35:06.000 I'm an idiot. 0.98
00:35:06.000 I don't know shit about viruses, but this is what I've read. 0.98
00:35:09.000 When viruses mutate, they tend to be less deadly but more transmissible. 0.96
00:35:16.000 Because that is how a virus stays alive.
00:35:18.000 A virus doesn't stay alive by killing its host.
00:35:21.000 A virus stays alive by keeping the host alive and then becoming more transmissible to other people.
00:35:27.000 Well, that's a glimmer of hope.
00:35:29.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:35:30.000 Well, then it just comes down to people that have fucked up immune systems. 0.89
00:35:35.000 And this is the big opportunity that was missed during this whole pandemic was like a concerted government effort to educate people on how to strengthen your immune system. 0.92
00:35:44.000 How to get out there and get healthier.
00:35:46.000 How to be healthier.
00:35:47.000 Look, obesity is the number one problem.
00:35:49.000 Number one.
00:35:49.000 78% of the people hospitalized with COVID were obese.
00:35:53.000 78%?
00:35:54.000 78%, yeah.
00:35:55.000 Wow, that's high.
00:35:56.000 It's terrible for your body.
00:35:58.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:35:58.000 And all this body positivity shit. 1.00
00:36:01.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:36:01.000 It's nonsense. 1.00
00:36:02.000 Look, no one wants you to feel bad.
00:36:04.000 I don't want anybody to feel bad.
00:36:05.000 No.
00:36:06.000 But the facts.
00:36:07.000 The facts.
00:36:08.000 The facts is.
00:36:09.000 About the variance.
00:36:11.000 You've got to take care of your body.
00:36:13.000 Take care of your body.
00:36:13.000 You take care of your body, it's going to take care of you.
00:36:15.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:36:16.000 Eat Tom Papa's bread.
00:36:19.000 I apologize.
00:36:20.000 I screwed up the bake.
00:36:22.000 I was going to try and bring you bread. 0.82
00:36:23.000 You fucked up the bake? 1.00
00:36:24.000 You still fuck up bakes? 1.00
00:36:25.000 How do you do that? 1.00
00:36:26.000 Timing.
00:36:27.000 The timing.
00:36:27.000 Because I need the days.
00:36:29.000 And I just screwed up the order of it.
00:36:31.000 My daughter came back from school.
00:36:32.000 I was distracted.
00:36:33.000 How much time does it take you to bake a loaf of bread?
00:36:37.000 From the time I pull out the starter from the refrigerator, it's one, two, three days.
00:36:44.000 Three days?
00:36:45.000 Yeah, because you feed it in the first day.
00:36:47.000 You mix and make the dough and make it into...
00:36:50.000 So when you say feed it, explain this.
00:36:52.000 You take the starter out.
00:36:53.000 How big of a piece of the starter do you take?
00:36:55.000 A big tablespoon.
00:36:57.000 A tablespoon.
00:36:58.000 Like two tablespoons basically.
00:37:00.000 And then what do you do with that two tablespoons?
00:37:02.000 I put it into a little bowl and I put equal amount of flour and water in it.
00:37:07.000 Okay.
00:37:08.000 Like a hundred grams of each.
00:37:10.000 And that's feeding?
00:37:10.000 That's feeding it.
00:37:11.000 Giving it flour and water so the yeast in there can eat.
00:37:15.000 And do you have a specific kind of flour that you use?
00:37:18.000 I do.
00:37:19.000 What is it?
00:37:19.000 I get from Central Milling out of Utah and I order 50 pound bags of flour.
00:37:26.000 It costs more to ship it than it does to pay for the flour.
00:37:29.000 That's hilarious.
00:37:30.000 Yeah.
00:37:31.000 And I get these big giant things.
00:37:34.000 Is the flour like a specific kind of flour?
00:37:38.000 Yeah, there's different, and you're always kind of exploring these different types of flour.
00:37:44.000 I almost said variants.
00:37:46.000 Variants of the flour.
00:37:47.000 Variants of the flour.
00:37:48.000 I use a malted wheat flour and an all-purpose flour, and then mess around with spelt and some rice and some stuff like that.
00:37:57.000 Do you, you know, there's like old world wheat, right?
00:38:02.000 Yeah.
00:38:03.000 Like that Italian pasta, when you get it in Italy, they have that old, what is that called?
00:38:07.000 Durham.
00:38:08.000 No, but there's a, like it's double zero or something like that.
00:38:12.000 Double zero, yeah, they use that for pizza doughs.
00:38:14.000 Yeah.
00:38:14.000 Yeah.
00:38:15.000 It really tastes bad.
00:38:15.000 Double zero flour, yeah.
00:38:16.000 It's bad.
00:38:17.000 It doesn't like upset your stomach as much either.
00:38:18.000 Yeah.
00:38:19.000 No, no.
00:38:20.000 I mean, my bread is predominantly wheat, and it does not hurt your stomach.
00:38:26.000 It does not cause you to...
00:38:28.000 My wife actually had a bagel the other day. 1.00
00:38:30.000 It, like, kind of hit her.
00:38:32.000 She had a bagel, just a pure bagel, and went to school.
00:38:34.000 She teaches and crashed, like, in the middle of, you know, before lunch. 0.99
00:38:39.000 But when she eats my bread, she's not hungry, and she doesn't crash, because it's already breaking down all of the sugars in the process of it.
00:38:48.000 So she... 0.98
00:38:49.000 Well, explain that.
00:38:49.000 It's because it's sourdough, right?
00:38:51.000 Right, exactly.
00:38:52.000 And sourdough, it's very low gluten, right?
00:38:56.000 Sourdough?
00:38:56.000 I don't know if it's...
00:38:58.000 No, not necessarily.
00:38:59.000 It's not?
00:39:00.000 No, not necessarily.
00:39:01.000 Because that's the structure of it.
00:39:03.000 But I thought that was the whole idea of sourdough, was that sourdough has lower gluten because there's something about the starter and whatever that...
00:39:13.000 Yeah, no.
00:39:13.000 What is the fermented...
00:39:14.000 What would you call it?
00:39:16.000 The starter, the mother. 0.77
00:39:18.000 What is the actual organism that's growing in there?
00:39:21.000 The yeast.
00:39:22.000 It's yeast?
00:39:22.000 Yeast, yeah, yeast.
00:39:23.000 There's something about that yeast.
00:39:25.000 Apparently, they were saying with sourdough that makes it have less gluten.
00:39:28.000 I don't think it has less gluten.
00:39:30.000 Because gluten is the structure.
00:39:32.000 It's like those strands that will make the bread have its shape.
00:39:35.000 It's the protein.
00:39:36.000 It's a protein, right?
00:39:36.000 Yeah, and it makes it have that shape.
00:39:38.000 Let's Google it.
00:39:40.000 Like my friends who were gluten intolerant, and it was all the extra stuff that was in the breads that was bothering their stomach.
00:39:47.000 And if you just eat my bread, which is flour, water, salt, and yeast, it doesn't have anything extra in it.
00:39:53.000 There's no sugars.
00:39:54.000 What extra stuff?
00:39:54.000 Like preservatives?
00:39:55.000 Preservatives and sugars and glucose and all this other stuff, and that was making people sick.
00:40:00.000 And I have friends that had gluten issues that eat my bread and have no problem with it, because it's just pure, you know?
00:40:07.000 And so my wife, she wasn't crashing just from eating my stuff, but you eat a bagel, which has some added sugar in it, and it has all these sugars that are breaking down. 0.68
00:40:19.000 Your body's breaking down.
00:40:20.000 Yeah, you don't realize how bad that stuff is for you until you do feel that crash, and you're like, oh!
00:40:26.000 Here it goes.
00:40:27.000 Fermentation process used to make sourdough breaks bread down some of the gluten and inflammatory compounds in wheat.
00:40:34.000 Yeah.
00:40:34.000 However, it still contains some gluten, and no scientific evidence suggests that it's easier to digest.
00:40:40.000 Yeah, but what kind of science are they doing on digestion? 0.81
00:40:44.000 Yeah.
00:40:45.000 How's it make you feel?
00:40:46.000 But it is... 0.97
00:40:47.000 See, it does break down some of the gluten and the inflammatory compounds, whatever the fuck those are. 0.97
00:40:52.000 Yeah.
00:40:53.000 The digestibility of sourdough bread may depend upon the individual and various factors.
00:40:58.000 Huh.
00:40:59.000 Yeah.
00:40:59.000 I mean, there's different flours that you can use that are low-gluten, but they're very tough to work with.
00:41:06.000 Yeah, it says it right there.
00:41:07.000 Go back to that.
00:41:08.000 It says it right there.
00:41:09.000 There's several brands of ready-made gluten-free sourdough bread on the market.
00:41:14.000 Yeah.
00:41:14.000 The fermentation process improves the taste, texture, and shelf life of gluten-free bread, so you may find you prefer gluten-free sourdough over regular ingredients.
00:41:25.000 Gluten-free bread.
00:41:26.000 But you're working towards trying to get gluten-free at that point.
00:41:29.000 This is a sourdough propaganda website.
00:41:34.000 Check the source on that.
00:41:36.000 So then I feed it and then I feed it...
00:41:39.000 That day, I'll feed it in the morning and then feed it in the afternoon, and then it starts to bubble up.
00:41:45.000 It really becomes active.
00:41:46.000 It becomes this real bubbly thing.
00:41:49.000 The yeast is eating it, and it's shooting out gas, and it becomes this bubbly stuff that's ready to make in the dough, which you do the next day.
00:41:57.000 And then you make that into your dough.
00:42:00.000 You take more flour and water, mix that together, and then you add the sourdough starter that you have in that Weird little bowl.
00:42:09.000 And you mix that together.
00:42:11.000 And then after four hours, you shape that, put it in baskets, put it in the refrigerator, and then the next morning you bake it.
00:42:18.000 So it's three days.
00:42:19.000 Wow.
00:42:21.000 So you really plan it out.
00:42:24.000 You do.
00:42:25.000 During those times, once you get that starter out and you start feeding it, you have a process.
00:42:30.000 100%.
00:42:31.000 And I have to work my day around it.
00:42:33.000 If I know I'm going to the store that night at 9, I can't mix four hours before that.
00:42:40.000 Right.
00:42:41.000 Because if I'm going to come home late...
00:42:43.000 I'll miss the time.
00:42:44.000 It'll overproof.
00:42:46.000 And then I've got something that's too loose to work with.
00:42:48.000 So I literally have to make sure that I shape it before I go to my spots.
00:42:53.000 Or I'll literally work my spot.
00:42:54.000 I won't hang out.
00:42:56.000 I've got to get home because I've got to get the bread shaped.
00:43:00.000 Yeah, it's a baker's life.
00:43:02.000 It's kind of crazy.
00:43:03.000 Which is why any time I think about starting a bakery or doing it bigger, I do four loaves a week.
00:43:09.000 I was just going to ask you that.
00:43:10.000 Yeah, it's a hard, it's a real hard, dedicated life that you have to.
00:43:16.000 It's not easy work.
00:43:18.000 It's a hard not life, get it?
00:43:21.000 Like garlic?
00:43:24.000 Yeah, I was going to ask you if you ever thought about starting up a bakery.
00:43:27.000 Because you really are an artist.
00:43:29.000 Your bread really is special. 0.98
00:43:31.000 Whenever I eat it, I'm like, God damn, this is really good. 0.97
00:43:35.000 If I had a bakery near me and I could get a fresh loaf of your bread, I'd be pumped. 0.99
00:43:41.000 I'd be there all the time.
00:43:42.000 I know.
00:43:43.000 And it's not bad for you.
00:43:45.000 It's not good for you.
00:43:45.000 You can't eat it all the time.
00:43:47.000 Stop lying to people. 1.00
00:43:49.000 It's fucking bread, bro. 1.00
00:43:50.000 It's bread, but it's not the bread that you're used to. 1.00
00:43:52.000 It's not eating a baguette.
00:43:53.000 It's not eating this other kind of stuff.
00:43:55.000 I'm telling you, it's not as good.
00:43:56.000 Are you a scientist?
00:43:57.000 Do you know this for a fact?
00:43:58.000 Are you just guessing?
00:44:00.000 No, I know it for a fact.
00:44:02.000 Yeah?
00:44:02.000 Yeah, I know it for a fact.
00:44:04.000 And, anecdotally, for my life, I can't eat it every day.
00:44:09.000 But anecdotally, it does feel different.
00:44:11.000 When I do cut all that stuff out, when I cut completely out, that's when I lose weight, for sure.
00:44:15.000 Yeah.
00:44:16.000 But if I'm going to eat that stuff, if I am going to eat a bread product, like to eat my bread and that's like your one carb thing that you get for the day, you're in good shape.
00:44:26.000 Have you ever gone on like a full health diet, like I'm going to not eat any sugar, I'm going to not drink any alcohol, I'm going to not eat any garbage food?
00:44:37.000 Have you done that?
00:44:38.000 Yeah.
00:44:38.000 How long?
00:44:38.000 For like 30 days.
00:44:39.000 Yeah?
00:44:40.000 How was it?
00:44:41.000 It was hard in the beginning.
00:44:45.000 The stuff that I really missed...
00:44:48.000 The cool thing is that you can actually see what you abuse.
00:44:52.000 Yeah.
00:44:53.000 Right?
00:44:54.000 And for me, it was dairy products.
00:44:56.000 It was cheeses.
00:44:57.000 Really?
00:44:58.000 Yeah.
00:44:58.000 Interesting.
00:44:59.000 That was the thing that was hard for me to cut.
00:45:02.000 Are they bad for you?
00:45:04.000 Cheeses?
00:45:05.000 Yeah, I guess.
00:45:06.000 Who tells you that?
00:45:08.000 The internet.
00:45:10.000 I think raw cheese is not bad for you.
00:45:13.000 Isn't that a processed food?
00:45:15.000 I mean, a lot of things are processed.
00:45:17.000 Just processed doesn't necessarily mean bad, right?
00:45:19.000 Like, what means bad is preservatives.
00:45:22.000 Preservatives are a real issue. 0.96
00:45:24.000 I don't think processed.
00:45:25.000 A lot of healthy foods are processed, you know?
00:45:28.000 But if you eat a lot of cheese, aren't you going to be a little...
00:45:34.000 I saw a study recently that connected cheese with lower instances of Alzheimer's.
00:45:41.000 Really? 0.98
00:45:41.000 What the fuck does that mean, though? 0.98
00:45:43.000 There is nothing- I just accept it. 0.98
00:45:45.000 There is nothing greater to me than wine, cheese, and bread.
00:45:53.000 And throw in some pepperoni or prosciutto.
00:45:56.000 Like that?
00:45:57.000 Charcuterie.
00:45:58.000 What is that?
00:46:00.000 Charcuterie.
00:46:01.000 Charcuterie.
00:46:01.000 Yeah.
00:46:02.000 Like that?
00:46:02.000 If you tell me that that's okay to eat, I would eat it every single day.
00:46:06.000 There's a place in town called The Lonesome Dove, and they have rattlesnake salami.
00:46:10.000 What?
00:46:11.000 Yeah.
00:46:12.000 Is it good? 1.00
00:46:13.000 Fuck yeah. 1.00
00:46:14.000 That place is really good. 1.00
00:46:17.000 That's amazing.
00:46:18.000 It's a delicious restaurant.
00:46:19.000 They have all kinds of cool stuff there.
00:46:20.000 Wild game.
00:46:21.000 They serve all kinds of interesting foods and dishes.
00:46:24.000 Really good stuff.
00:46:25.000 So when I did the 30 days, I dropped probably 10 pounds.
00:46:30.000 And that was kind of the lesson that I had.
00:46:34.000 Alcohol, it was okay.
00:46:36.000 Meat, even.
00:46:37.000 I don't eat that much.
00:46:40.000 It was really that kind of cheesy stuff.
00:46:47.000 But, you know, look.
00:46:49.000 Anytime I want to dial in, like during the pandemic, when I was like...
00:46:54.000 I worked out the whole time.
00:46:55.000 I was doing everything I could to be healthier.
00:46:58.000 And when I just didn't have any bread, none of that stuff, you feel better.
00:47:06.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:47:07.000 Raw cheeses apparently are very hard to get.
00:47:11.000 And I knew a dude who was from France.
00:47:13.000 He was from France.
00:47:15.000 He was an oncologist from Paris.
00:47:18.000 And he smuggled raw cheese back from Europe.
00:47:23.000 Really?
00:47:24.000 Yeah, because in Europe, cheese is not pasteurized and homogenized.
00:47:27.000 Yeah, why is that okay?
00:47:29.000 And why do we think it's not okay?
00:47:31.000 Well, I think the whole thing is shelf life.
00:47:33.000 It's the same reason why raw milk is difficult.
00:47:38.000 They were arresting people for selling raw milk at places in California.
00:47:42.000 Yeah, it's a big deal.
00:47:44.000 I was once on the road in the Northeast where my opening act wanted raw milk.
00:47:50.000 And she was like, can we just stop and ask the farmer?
00:47:53.000 And we did.
00:47:54.000 We pulled into this guy's little place that was in New Hampshire or Vermont and asked him if we could have a glass of milk.
00:48:02.000 And he gave it to us.
00:48:08.000 Request a couple of comedians pull up to your house.
00:48:11.000 Can we have a glass of milk?
00:48:13.000 Just milk right from the cow?
00:48:15.000 And it was kind of warm.
00:48:16.000 It was warm?
00:48:17.000 Yeah, it was kind of warm.
00:48:18.000 Like right from the cow?
00:48:18.000 Yeah, like right from the cow.
00:48:20.000 Wow.
00:48:21.000 Yeah, it was weird.
00:48:23.000 How long did you talk to this guy before you asked him for milk?
00:48:27.000 Ten seconds.
00:48:31.000 First of all, when you're pulling up to someone's barn or house, you're coming up that gravel road with the dust coming off the back of your car.
00:48:39.000 They're probably like this, looking out the window.
00:48:42.000 Someone's coming.
00:48:43.000 Yeah.
00:48:43.000 He looks like a bread maker.
00:48:46.000 Two comedians pop out.
00:48:47.000 We want some regular milk. 1.00
00:48:49.000 You bread-eating fucko. 0.99
00:48:51.000 Yeah, I'll give you some bread for some milk. 1.00
00:48:54.000 I'll trade you bread.
00:48:56.000 Open up my case.
00:48:58.000 But if it's shelf life, that's just commerce.
00:49:02.000 Well, yeah, there's commerce, but there's the worry that people are going to have milk that's raw, and they're going to let it sit, and they're going to drink it, and they're going to get sick.
00:49:10.000 I mean, the whole reason why homogenized and pasteurized milk was made is so that it could stay fresh or stay drinkable for longer.
00:49:18.000 Right, right.
00:49:18.000 But the way it's been described to me, like all the natural enzymes that are in milk, they help your body digest it.
00:49:24.000 A lot of the problems that people have with like, you know, people have like lactose intolerance.
00:49:30.000 Like one of my daughters has lactose intolerance. 0.69
00:49:32.000 Yeah, me too.
00:49:32.000 So she has to take like a little pill before she has anything, a lactaid.
00:49:36.000 Yeah, my daughter does too. 0.99
00:49:37.000 Her butt becomes a trumpet. 1.00
00:49:39.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:49:40.000 Which is fun sometimes.
00:49:42.000 Yeah.
00:49:43.000 But this lactose thing apparently is not nearly as much of an issue when they use raw milk.
00:49:55.000 Oh, interesting.
00:49:57.000 So people that have a hard time digesting milk normally...
00:50:01.000 Again, we should probably Google this.
00:50:04.000 Is it easier for people with lactose intolerance to digest raw milk?
00:50:09.000 I'm already looking at something that says, like, the ease of digestibility of raw cheddar gives those that experience discomfort with processed cheese products a delicious and natural option.
00:50:20.000 Yeah, but can you get it in Texas? 0.99
00:50:23.000 Like, because California is, like, regulated through the fucking roof. 0.98
00:50:26.000 There's a lot of weirdness with the raw milk. 0.98
00:50:29.000 I remember you used to be able to buy it places, but then I saw that certain places were getting, like, people were literally getting arrested.
00:50:35.000 But then I was like, well, is that because they don't have a license for it?
00:50:38.000 Have they skirted the regulations?
00:50:40.000 What's happening?
00:50:42.000 It seems like the nut milks is what most people are...
00:50:50.000 You are such a Californian.
00:50:53.000 No one in Texas is drinking that nut milk.
00:50:55.000 Really?
00:50:55.000 Oat milk and...
00:50:56.000 It seems like the nut milk is what everybody's drinking in my Silver Lake community.
00:51:02.000 No, really.
00:51:05.000 That stuff's disgusting.
00:51:07.000 First of all, it's not milk.
00:51:08.000 Do you ever drink milk?
00:51:09.000 Yes.
00:51:09.000 Do you ever drink milk?
00:51:10.000 Regular milk?
00:51:11.000 You do?
00:51:12.000 Dude, peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
00:51:14.000 With a glass of milk is sensational.
00:51:17.000 And then what is that?
00:51:18.000 There's a vegan cookie company that you get at Whole Foods.
00:51:21.000 I think it's Uncle Eddie's.
00:51:22.000 Is that what it is?
00:51:23.000 Uncle Eddie's vegan cookies?
00:51:24.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.98
00:51:25.000 Goddamn, they're so good. 0.96
00:51:26.000 Those are good. 0.98
00:51:27.000 I don't care if they're vegan.
00:51:28.000 I don't care.
00:51:29.000 Yeah.
00:51:29.000 They're so good.
00:51:30.000 The peanut butter chocolate chip ones.
00:51:31.000 Oh, with milk?
00:51:32.000 Oh my God.
00:51:33.000 Sensational.
00:51:35.000 Yeah, well, I think, I mean, look, this is because I live in California now.
00:51:40.000 Everyone's drinking the oat milks.
00:51:41.000 You're going to tell me that nut milks aren't pissing off the dairy people?
00:51:46.000 First of all, it's not milk.
00:51:47.000 It's some weird thing you're doing with water.
00:51:50.000 You just soak in these beans.
00:51:52.000 I always think that when I put it on cereal or something.
00:51:55.000 I'm just wetting it.
00:51:56.000 I'm just using this to wet the cereal.
00:51:58.000 Yeah, there is no breasts on almonds. 0.98
00:52:02.000 You're not getting milk out of almonds.
00:52:05.000 It's not milk.
00:52:06.000 Oat milk's pretty good.
00:52:07.000 Yeah, it tastes good, but most of that stuff is sugar.
00:52:11.000 Yeah, I found a place you can buy it, and it delivers to you.
00:52:13.000 Oh, look at that.
00:52:15.000 It even comes through the mail.
00:52:16.000 That's got to be good for you.
00:52:17.000 Look at that.
00:52:17.000 One gallon raw milk.
00:52:19.000 They deliver it to you.
00:52:20.000 I don't think it counts.
00:52:21.000 Dude, I have not had a glass of milk in 20 years.
00:52:23.000 They have raw butter, eggs.
00:52:25.000 Oh! 0.60
00:52:26.000 Cheddar, Asiago.
00:52:27.000 Send me a link to this place.
00:52:29.000 Ooh.
00:52:31.000 Okay.
00:52:32.000 This is nice.
00:52:33.000 It is nice.
00:52:34.000 Okay, barn2door.com.
00:52:37.000 And then you find a local farm.
00:52:39.000 It's like Uber Eats for farms, I guess.
00:52:42.000 And they have raw butter, raw milk.
00:52:44.000 It doesn't come like...
00:52:45.000 So this just...
00:52:46.000 It says it will come in three days.
00:52:49.000 I think so you have to pre-order it.
00:52:50.000 Sure.
00:52:51.000 I get it.
00:52:51.000 Well, seems like that makes sense.
00:52:53.000 I go to the specialty shop and get this butter from France.
00:52:57.000 I get this French butter.
00:52:58.000 Oh, my God.
00:53:00.000 What is that stuff?
00:53:00.000 Oh, Gouda.
00:53:01.000 Look at that slab of Gouda cheese.
00:53:03.000 Ooh, look at that.
00:53:04.000 Oh, I love it all.
00:53:06.000 Raw cheddar, raw Gouda.
00:53:08.000 So good. 1.00
00:53:09.000 Oh, they sold out of the fucking Pepper Jack. 1.00
00:53:13.000 I'm a big fan of raw milk. 1.00
00:53:14.000 It tastes really good.
00:53:15.000 Yeah, man, I don't even think about drinking milk.
00:53:19.000 It's a weird thing, right?
00:53:20.000 Because it's only really for weaning animals. 0.69
00:53:23.000 It's only really for young animals that are sucking on their mother's teats.
00:53:29.000 That's what it's for. 0.92
00:53:31.000 Here, I kind of left out the big part of this thing.
00:53:34.000 When I did this, this was like 15 years ago, and it was the 30 days of cutting everything completely out.
00:53:41.000 My allergies went away.
00:53:43.000 My whole life, I thought I was allergic to cats, or I was constantly chasing, is it seasonal?
00:53:49.000 Is it whatever?
00:53:50.000 I mean, my whole life.
00:53:52.000 And when I stopped, it was...
00:53:55.000 I had no more allergies.
00:53:57.000 I was not blowing my nose 24 hours a day.
00:53:59.000 It was crazy.
00:54:00.000 And then when I weaned all those things back slowly to see what it was, it was those.
00:54:06.000 It was the milk products.
00:54:07.000 It was ice cream, any of that kind of stuff.
00:54:09.000 If I had it...
00:54:11.000 Total allergy attack.
00:54:13.000 I wonder if that same thing would happen if you had raw.
00:54:16.000 Yeah, good question.
00:54:19.000 I wonder.
00:54:19.000 Yeah.
00:54:20.000 You gotta think.
00:54:21.000 Give me that website.
00:54:22.000 Your body gets a hold of some processed, homogenized, pasteurized milk.
00:54:28.000 So it's getting this weird liquid and this dead protein. 0.99
00:54:32.000 And it's probably like, what the fuck is this? 0.97
00:54:35.000 Yeah, what are you doing? 0.99
00:54:36.000 Hold on. 1.00
00:54:38.000 It's like it's coming out of your ass. 1.00
00:54:40.000 It's all this gas buildup. 1.00
00:54:43.000 You feel bloated.
00:54:44.000 Bloated. 0.78
00:54:45.000 Your body can't process it.
00:54:46.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:54:47.000 But it tastes pretty fucking good. 0.95
00:54:49.000 Nice cold glass with a chocolate chip cookie. 0.98
00:54:53.000 Dunk that cookie in that milk. 1.00
00:54:54.000 Oh, man.
00:54:55.000 But not everything's good for you.
00:54:57.000 No.
00:54:58.000 But what's amazing, too, I was thinking, like, how little amount of something can whack your system.
00:55:04.000 Yeah.
00:55:04.000 You know what I mean?
00:55:05.000 Like, just a little cup of espresso and you're, like, so then when you, like, that whacks your system.
00:55:11.000 Yeah.
00:55:12.000 So then you take like a big giant size of it or like a whole plate of nachos or a whole whatever substance.
00:55:19.000 Like we're very sensitive. 1.00
00:55:21.000 And then you're just loading the shit into your system. 0.99
00:55:25.000 It's like, of course this stuff has impact. 0.99
00:55:27.000 Yeah.
00:55:29.000 Yeah, there's a lot of things that you take into your body that you think are not that big of a deal. 0.99
00:55:35.000 But over the course of a day, if most people could see the amount of sugar, if you could have like a box, like a small box that shows you the amount of sugar the average American eats in a day, you'd be like, holy fuck! 0.98
00:55:48.000 Like apple juice, right? 0.99
00:55:50.000 Little kids get apple juice.
00:55:51.000 My daughter had one of these little apple juice containers. 0.97
00:55:53.000 They're very small.
00:55:54.000 It's like four ounces or something like that.
00:55:56.000 It was like 20 grams of sugar.
00:55:59.000 That is so crazy.
00:56:00.000 It's so crazy.
00:56:01.000 It's all sugar.
00:56:02.000 It's just sugar.
00:56:03.000 It's sugar water.
00:56:04.000 My wife was, again, at her job, and she was getting these, like, sparkling waters.
00:56:09.000 And she's like, wow, these are really good.
00:56:11.000 And she was, like, pounding them.
00:56:13.000 30 grams of sugar.
00:56:16.000 That was the thing about Duncan.
00:56:17.000 Duncan was like, dude, this almond milk's amazing!
00:56:20.000 And I go, what do you got?
00:56:22.000 What is it?
00:56:22.000 And so he tells me about this almond milk.
00:56:24.000 And I go, hey, I go, do me a favor.
00:56:26.000 I go, look down at the amount of sugar per serving.
00:56:31.000 And he's like, okay, hold on, hold on. 1.00
00:56:33.000 Holy fuck! 1.00
00:56:34.000 I go, yeah, that's why it tastes good. 1.00
00:56:37.000 You're drinking a milkshake, buddy.
00:56:39.000 I know.
00:56:40.000 It's not even milk.
00:56:40.000 You're drinking an almond weird water syrup thing.
00:56:46.000 So I was trying to not drink milk anymore after my allergy problem.
00:56:50.000 And I kind of found the cure.
00:56:54.000 And then I was opening for Robert Schimmel.
00:56:58.000 On the road.
00:57:00.000 And he's like, do you want to go for a Starbucks?
00:57:03.000 And I was like, he was just such a great guy.
00:57:06.000 And he was so kind.
00:57:07.000 And I was like, no, I don't know.
00:57:09.000 I'm just so bummed out that I can't have a latte because of the milk thing.
00:57:12.000 He's like...
00:57:13.000 No, you can, come on, we'll go, you can get almond milk in that.
00:57:16.000 And I was like, what?
00:57:17.000 And he brought me, like in between shows, he brought me around to the Starbucks and got me an almond milk latte.
00:57:25.000 And I was like, so grateful.
00:57:26.000 I was like, oh yeah, this is so great.
00:57:28.000 It's delicious.
00:57:29.000 And for years, I was literally, a couple of years was like, so great.
00:57:33.000 And I had the attachment to Schimmel, like he showed me this thing and I was all so excited.
00:57:39.000 And, uh, Same thing.
00:57:41.000 When they started posting all the amount of sugar and stuff that was in their drinks, I was like, a grande latte has how much sugar in it?
00:57:49.000 I was like, this is a milkshake.
00:57:51.000 It's an almond milk milkshake. 0.99
00:57:53.000 I was like, screw you, Schimmel. 0.98
00:57:55.000 Those Frappuccino things? 0.99
00:57:56.000 Yeah.
00:57:57.000 Those things are just all sugar.
00:57:58.000 All sugar.
00:57:59.000 All sugar.
00:58:00.000 But that's why they're so good.
00:58:01.000 I know.
00:58:02.000 Those will make you crash hard.
00:58:04.000 Big time.
00:58:05.000 What does this say?
00:58:05.000 Visualization of sugar consumption.
00:58:08.000 The average American consumes 45 grams of sugar, the amount found in one of today's 12-ounce sodas.
00:58:15.000 That was in 1822. Every five days.
00:58:18.000 Yeah, I'm reading.
00:58:18.000 Oh, sorry.
00:58:19.000 I thought you missed the 1822 part.
00:58:21.000 No, no.
00:58:22.000 I'm like, in 2012, Americans consume 765 grams of sugar every five days.
00:58:31.000 So they went from consuming a tiny amount, 45 grams of sugar, which is two, a little bit more than two of my daughter's little apple juice containers, which is hilarious.
00:58:42.000 Yeah.
00:58:43.000 Every five days they would have two of those, which is basically one 12-ounce soda every five days, which is nuts.
00:58:52.000 Now every five days they consume 765 grams of sugar.
00:58:58.000 The average American can consume 130 pounds of sugar every year.
00:59:03.000 It's so sneaky.
00:59:05.000 You know, I've said this before, but when I was buying regular bread for my family, the healthiest bread I could find had all the sugar in it.
00:59:13.000 Yeah.
00:59:14.000 Like that Dave's bread?
00:59:16.000 What's that?
00:59:16.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:59:17.000 Delicious.
00:59:18.000 Yeah.
00:59:18.000 But it's full of sugar.
00:59:19.000 Yeah.
00:59:21.000 What is it called, Dave's?
00:59:22.000 What is it called?
00:59:23.000 Yeah, Dave's...
00:59:25.000 Yeah.
00:59:26.000 It looks like healthy.
00:59:27.000 It looks really healthy. 0.99
00:59:27.000 It's fucking good. 0.99
00:59:28.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:59:28.000 I'm gonna lie to myself. 0.99
00:59:30.000 Keep saying it's Dave's Killer Bread.
00:59:32.000 Yeah.
00:59:33.000 I love Dave's Killer Bread.
00:59:34.000 Yeah.
00:59:35.000 If I'm looking to make a sandwich.
00:59:37.000 Yeah.
00:59:37.000 Yeah, I like that.
00:59:39.000 I like to go peanut butter, jelly, and banana.
00:59:43.000 I like those sometimes.
00:59:45.000 It's such a simple little joy.
00:59:47.000 Oh, it's so nice, but there's so much sugar in that.
00:59:50.000 Yeah, the jelly.
00:59:50.000 And afterwards I'll sit on the couch and go, oh, why?
00:59:53.000 Why did I sacrifice the next few hours of my life for just a few moments of mouth pleasure?
00:59:59.000 Because it's so great.
01:00:01.000 It's so great!
01:00:02.000 It's so great that you're talking about it all these weeks later.
01:00:05.000 You're like, oh my god, that peanut butter and jelly sandwich was so good. 1.00
01:00:09.000 And if you try to have that fake stuff, like keto desserts, those are all dog shit. 1.00
01:00:17.000 Substitute, I know. 1.00
01:00:18.000 You can lie to yourself all you want. 0.99
01:00:20.000 Stop lying.
01:00:21.000 But sometimes you gotta dial it in.
01:00:22.000 Sometimes you gotta take care of yourself, you know, and that's okay.
01:00:26.000 You just have to pick your times of when you're gonna let yourself go off.
01:00:31.000 What did you do unusual during this pandemic?
01:00:34.000 Did you do anything where you made a shift in your daily routine?
01:00:42.000 Yeah, it was the creation of a routine was kind of the thing.
01:00:46.000 It was like creating structure where there was no structure.
01:00:51.000 I found that that was so important, to have that plan every day.
01:00:57.000 I wasn't waking up in this weird haze of, what's happening?
01:01:02.000 I got really dialed into how I was going to go after each day.
01:01:08.000 And I had the radio show that I do with Fortune.
01:01:11.000 So that was two hours of my day, Monday through Thursday.
01:01:16.000 And then from that I built out.
01:01:19.000 So I would...
01:01:21.000 You want me to go through it?
01:01:23.000 Sure.
01:01:23.000 Like what a day was?
01:01:24.000 Like I would wake up...
01:01:26.000 A little earlier so I could get the first meditation in before the day started, because I do that twice a day.
01:01:33.000 So I would do that for 20 minutes.
01:01:36.000 Then I would do the research and whatever I had to do for the show, do the radio show.
01:01:41.000 That brought me to noon.
01:01:42.000 And then I would work out immediately after that, regardless of how I felt.
01:01:47.000 I would have to work out Immediately.
01:01:51.000 And then the afternoon was kind of loose, was kind of structure-free, because you're dealing with the family or whatever.
01:01:59.000 And then at night, when I was normally going out and doing stand-up, That's where I was working on the writing.
01:02:10.000 Some were working on the next book.
01:02:13.000 And I was like, where is that going to fit?
01:02:15.000 It's hard to fit it in before the day.
01:02:16.000 So when I would normally go out and do spots at night, from like 8 o'clock to 10, that's when I would do the writing.
01:02:24.000 So it gave you, so even though you're not doing the normal stuff like stand-up, it gave you like a real strict sort of schedule to look forward to every day.
01:02:33.000 Totally.
01:02:34.000 And the writing was like the creative kind of thing, like where I wasn't getting everything that you got from performing, like the adrenaline and all that kind of like...
01:02:44.000 Great stuff.
01:02:45.000 I was sitting with my comedic thoughts.
01:02:48.000 But at least you're creating.
01:02:50.000 Creating.
01:02:50.000 And I'm sorry, I would do the second meditation was at the end of the day.
01:02:55.000 That's usually around 4. And that gives you a little more energy to go and do that writing or that spot.
01:03:02.000 So you do two a day?
01:03:04.000 Two 20 minute ones a day?
01:03:05.000 How many minutes?
01:03:06.000 20. 20?
01:03:08.000 Yeah.
01:03:08.000 How long did you take off stand-up?
01:03:11.000 Not that long.
01:03:14.000 I did like one a month starting in June.
01:03:20.000 Oh, really?
01:03:20.000 I went to Wise Guys in Salt Lake City.
01:03:23.000 I picked places where I knew the owners and knew the city seemed like it was under control and it calculated risk.
01:03:30.000 I just had to do it.
01:03:32.000 Did you test yourself or get tested anywhere?
01:03:35.000 I would get tested, yeah.
01:03:36.000 I would get tested.
01:03:37.000 When?
01:03:38.000 Come back?
01:03:39.000 When I came back.
01:03:40.000 Yeah.
01:03:40.000 Did you hide from everybody before you got tested?
01:03:42.000 It was loosey-goosey.
01:03:44.000 My wife would sleep in the other room. 0.99
01:03:46.000 They wouldn't kiss me.
01:03:47.000 They hid from you when you came back from the rest?
01:03:49.000 A little distancing, you know.
01:03:51.000 Weird.
01:03:52.000 A little bit.
01:03:52.000 Because it was weird back in June.
01:03:54.000 It was weird.
01:03:54.000 It was weird.
01:03:55.000 We didn't know.
01:03:56.000 People were leaving their mail outside.
01:03:58.000 What made you want to go out so early?
01:04:00.000 Because a lot of people were shaming other comedians that were doing gigs, even if the health department said it was okay.
01:04:07.000 It was like... 0.78
01:04:08.000 That's ludicrous.
01:04:09.000 If I'm going to a city where that city has decided that it is safe for this business to operate this way, and those people in that city have agreed to go out and participate in that show, and I come in and everyone's following the rules and doing the thing, Everything else is emotional.
01:04:29.000 Well, that is what it is.
01:04:30.000 It's emotional, but those emotions were very prevalent with the Twitter sphere of stand-up comedians.
01:04:37.000 I don't participate in it.
01:04:40.000 Yeah, I don't participate in it either.
01:04:41.000 I just find it fascinating.
01:04:42.000 The thing that I got out of it was most of the people that didn't want people performing weren't doing so good anyway.
01:04:49.000 They were the people that weren't doing good on the road to begin with.
01:04:52.000 Oh, it's interesting.
01:04:52.000 And then other people started going out again.
01:04:54.000 Yeah. 0.96
01:04:54.000 They almost want everybody's life to suck. 0.96
01:04:57.000 Yeah. 0.93
01:04:58.000 I talked to one guy who actually admitted it.
01:05:00.000 Really?
01:05:00.000 Yeah.
01:05:00.000 Really?
01:05:01.000 His basic take was he was never comfortable.
01:05:06.000 And one of the things about the lockdown was it made everyone uncomfortable. 0.99
01:05:10.000 It made everyone's life kind of fucked up. 0.97
01:05:12.000 And then once everything started going back, he resisted. 0.98
01:05:16.000 Oh, interesting.
01:05:18.000 Yeah.
01:05:18.000 I think that's a lot of the angst you see online.
01:05:22.000 Yeah.
01:05:23.000 I honestly didn't catch any of that.
01:05:26.000 I didn't see that kind of shaming stuff.
01:05:29.000 I remember I put on some shows in LA. I had this warehouse space that was really open.
01:05:36.000 We could open up the doors.
01:05:37.000 Where'd you do this?
01:05:38.000 In the Valley.
01:05:39.000 Oh, yeah?
01:05:40.000 Yeah.
01:05:40.000 When'd you do that?
01:05:41.000 I did that in June, July. 0.99
01:05:43.000 No shit. 0.99
01:05:44.000 Yeah, I did two of them. 0.99
01:05:46.000 And I just opened up the doors.
01:05:48.000 I had Fitzsimmons there and the Sklar brothers and Erica Rhodes was on it.
01:05:52.000 And she came up to me with her little mask on and stuff. 0.96
01:05:54.000 And she said, you got to be kind of secretive when you do shows.
01:05:59.000 People attack you.
01:06:00.000 I was like, oh, really?
01:06:03.000 Because when I went out, first one was Salt Lake City at Wise Guys.
01:06:09.000 It was just pure joy.
01:06:11.000 I was so happy just to be doing it.
01:06:13.000 The staff was like, thank you so much for coming.
01:06:18.000 There were legit people not able to make their rent, getting kicked out of places, not having work.
01:06:26.000 They were so grateful that we were doing anything.
01:06:29.000 And it was cobbled together in limited capacity.
01:06:33.000 And the same thing in Portland.
01:06:35.000 I went up to Helium and did that one.
01:06:36.000 And I brought my daughter with me in July.
01:06:39.000 And it was just so euphoric.
01:06:42.000 It wasn't any noise about any negative whatever.
01:06:46.000 I didn't see it.
01:06:48.000 And I just loved it.
01:06:51.000 And I did it June.
01:06:53.000 Then I ran my own show like in July.
01:06:56.000 Then I did Portland.
01:06:57.000 Then I did Comedy Works.
01:06:59.000 Why'd you stop doing your own show?
01:07:02.000 It just got time and it just got kind of tricky.
01:07:05.000 It was just trying to put it all together.
01:07:08.000 I had to pay for people to be able to do it.
01:07:11.000 I paid all the comedians and I gave them all the microphones.
01:07:15.000 My friend Greg Grunberg, it's his space, he's an actor.
01:07:19.000 And we gave them microphones from Blue Microphone and it cost us probably $500 to put up the show.
01:07:27.000 You mean everybody got their own microphone?
01:07:29.000 Yeah, we gave everyone a microphone.
01:07:31.000 Because I figured it was a cool thing to do.
01:07:39.000 Comedians were so great.
01:07:42.000 They just wanted to work.
01:07:43.000 They wanted to do it.
01:07:45.000 If everyone got their microphone, I knew they were going to go use it somewhere else.
01:07:48.000 When they did whatever shows that they were cobbling together.
01:07:51.000 Whitney Cummings did it in her backyard.
01:07:53.000 I did it with her.
01:07:55.000 I thought that was wild.
01:07:56.000 It was so funny.
01:07:57.000 People got mad at her for that. 0.98
01:07:58.000 Meanwhile, she tested everybody there.
01:08:00.000 Yeah.
01:08:00.000 Tested everybody there, did it outside in the backyard, and people were still like, you're super spreading, super spreading.
01:08:08.000 And you look back at those stories.
01:08:12.000 From Whitney's thing, from going to Wise Guys, from going to Hilarities, doing all these shows.
01:08:19.000 What's the story?
01:08:20.000 The story was people came out, they were calculated, they made their own decisions, and they had a great time, and they didn't get sick.
01:08:26.000 Yep.
01:08:26.000 That's the truth.
01:08:27.000 Well, I'm not sure nobody got sick.
01:08:30.000 You got all those people together in a room.
01:08:32.000 It's possible somebody got mad to get sick.
01:08:34.000 But here's the thing.
01:08:35.000 At that point...
01:08:36.000 You should be able to do whatever you want to do.
01:08:40.000 This thing has basically just run through the population.
01:08:44.000 I'm not saying you should do things that are reckless.
01:08:46.000 No.
01:08:47.000 Not at all.
01:08:48.000 This was not thoughtless.
01:08:49.000 If you want to take a chance and go out, do whatever you want.
01:08:52.000 What do you want to do?
01:08:53.000 That's essentially how they do it here in Texas.
01:08:55.000 In Texas, it was in March when the governor said, that's it.
01:09:01.000 We're done.
01:09:01.000 No more masks.
01:09:04.000 No more mask mandate.
01:09:06.000 Everything's open to 100% capacity. 0.99
01:09:08.000 Do whatever the fuck you want to do. 0.99
01:09:09.000 And Biden was like, that's Neanderthal thinking. 0.99
01:09:13.000 And meanwhile, it's worked out great.
01:09:15.000 There's been no issues.
01:09:16.000 Yeah.
01:09:17.000 I mean, it's going to be interesting to see what the stories are when we look back at this, like, you know, with some perspective.
01:09:23.000 Like, was Florida...
01:09:27.000 Were they worse off than California?
01:09:29.000 They definitely weren't.
01:09:30.000 They're better off.
01:09:32.000 Are they better off?
01:09:33.000 Their economy's better off and they have less cases. 0.87
01:09:35.000 Right.
01:09:35.000 And they have older people.
01:09:36.000 Older population.
01:09:37.000 But you know what?
01:09:38.000 They're also outside.
01:09:40.000 I was watching this video from this doctor and he was saying this idea of flu season.
01:09:46.000 He said, you know what the flu season coincides with?
01:09:48.000 People being locked down indoors.
01:09:51.000 It's like flu season coincides with low vitamin D. Right.
01:09:54.000 And almost no sunshine.
01:09:55.000 Well, you're not going out.
01:09:57.000 Yeah.
01:09:57.000 Like, where's flu hit you the worst?
01:09:58.000 Northeast, right?
01:10:00.000 Yeah.
01:10:00.000 Why is it hit you the worst?
01:10:01.000 Because that's when it's cold out.
01:10:02.000 Yeah.
01:10:02.000 And everybody's indoors, and if you're not supplementing with vitamin D, his take was, you're not getting enough from being outside.
01:10:08.000 You're just not.
01:10:09.000 Right.
01:10:10.000 What do you have exposed?
01:10:11.000 Your face?
01:10:11.000 Yeah.
01:10:12.000 You only have your face exposed?
01:10:13.000 Yeah.
01:10:14.000 No, it makes sense.
01:10:16.000 I mean, look, I really do believe that people were doing their best and just trying to do whatever they thought in their communities.
01:10:24.000 They were just trying to make the best decisions to keep people safe and keep their businesses going and doing where some of them, you're going to look back and say, well, maybe some people went too far.
01:10:33.000 Maybe people didn't do enough.
01:10:35.000 I don't know. 0.99
01:10:36.000 Bro, Canada is the craziest. 0.97
01:10:38.000 Yeah, what a crazy story. 0.97
01:10:40.000 They're still locked down.
01:10:40.000 I know.
01:10:41.000 Still locked down.
01:10:41.000 They were doing so well early on.
01:10:43.000 It doesn't make any sense.
01:10:44.000 Yeah.
01:10:45.000 Makes no sense.
01:10:46.000 I know.
01:10:46.000 I have a friend that's filming in Vancouver, and he's double vaxxed for over a month.
01:10:52.000 Double vaxxed?
01:10:53.000 What does that mean?
01:10:53.000 He got both shots.
01:10:55.000 Oh.
01:10:56.000 Vaxxed.
01:10:57.000 And he's for over a month, but he flew from New York to Vancouver, and he's in a hotel room for 14 days before he can go on set.
01:11:08.000 Yeah.
01:11:09.000 I mean, in his hotel room.
01:11:11.000 They just came and gave him good news.
01:11:13.000 You can leave your hotel room for 20 minutes a day.
01:11:18.000 20 minutes a day.
01:11:20.000 He's just sitting in this airport hotel in this tiny little room. 1.00
01:11:24.000 So stupid. 1.00
01:11:24.000 It's crazy. 1.00
01:11:26.000 It's so stupid. 1.00
01:11:27.000 Poor guy. 1.00
01:11:27.000 I know. 1.00
01:11:28.000 Well, it's just they're treating it like it's March of last year.
01:11:31.000 Yeah.
01:11:32.000 They're not treating it based on the current data.
01:11:35.000 Right.
01:11:36.000 Right.
01:11:37.000 It's sketchy, Tom.
01:11:38.000 It is sketchy.
01:11:39.000 But going out and performing was just so...
01:11:41.000 was great.
01:11:42.000 And the people were awesome.
01:11:45.000 And now it's like, holy cow, we just put in all of the dates of going forward.
01:11:50.000 I'm going to do some small stuff in the next couple of months.
01:11:55.000 And then I hit Vegas in July.
01:11:57.000 And from that point on...
01:11:59.000 All the shows that were rescheduled from before, I'm sure you have this, they were all rescheduled, plus some new dates.
01:12:05.000 It's like from July to like March.
01:12:08.000 It's just all on full capacity go time.
01:12:13.000 I'm not going to be home ever.
01:12:15.000 Yeah, I did a full capacity show in Houston for the first time.
01:12:19.000 That was like a couple weeks ago.
01:12:20.000 I was a little rusty.
01:12:22.000 Yeah.
01:12:22.000 It's like you feel it.
01:12:23.000 You feel a little tight.
01:12:24.000 You feel a little, just a little...
01:12:27.000 Yeah.
01:12:27.000 And then I'm doing arenas soon with Chappelle.
01:12:32.000 We're doing the MGM in Vegas on the 8th and 9th of July.
01:12:36.000 Yeah.
01:12:37.000 Wow.
01:12:39.000 That's going to be great.
01:12:40.000 Yeah, that's going to be good.
01:12:42.000 How many shows?
01:12:43.000 We're doing two.
01:12:44.000 Two shows?
01:12:45.000 One on the 8th, one on the 9th.
01:12:47.000 Because there's always that thing when you go and you did clubs, like you would get there Thursday and that would always be like, you dust off a little bit, even though you were performing before then, right?
01:12:56.000 It was like getting your feet back and like, where's this hour go, you know?
01:13:00.000 And so like to not do it for like months at a time and then come back, of course.
01:13:05.000 So it's got to be like a weird feeling when you get the return to the big set when you're in an arena full of people looking at you.
01:13:13.000 Well, the good news is there's a lot of clubs here that have been open for a long time.
01:13:16.000 That's good.
01:13:17.000 So we've been able to work here forever.
01:13:18.000 Yeah.
01:13:19.000 How often are you going out?
01:13:21.000 All the time.
01:13:21.000 Yeah?
01:13:22.000 Yeah, three nights this week.
01:13:23.000 Oh, that's good.
01:13:24.000 Yeah, I went up last night.
01:13:25.000 I was up the night before, the night before that.
01:13:27.000 Nice.
01:13:27.000 Where are you playing?
01:13:28.000 Different places.
01:13:29.000 I've been doing Vulcan, Vulcan Gas Company.
01:13:32.000 I've been doing that.
01:13:33.000 I've been doing the Creek in the Cave.
01:13:37.000 Oh, yeah.
01:13:37.000 Great little place.
01:13:38.000 Yeah, everyone loves that.
01:13:39.000 Great little place.
01:13:40.000 It's so tight.
01:13:41.000 So it's so, like, everything I like about, like, I mean, no disrespect, but it's dingy.
01:13:48.000 I like, but I like it.
01:13:50.000 Dingy's good.
01:13:50.000 I like a little...
01:13:51.000 V-O-R. Yeah, it's kind of, like, kind of glued together, you know? 0.83
01:13:56.000 I like it.
01:13:57.000 It's the best.
01:13:57.000 It's great.
01:13:58.000 And they pack people in there, and it's real enthusiastic crowds.
01:14:01.000 Yeah.
01:14:01.000 And you know Rebecca?
01:14:02.000 Do you know Rebecca, who owns Creek in the Cave? 0.62
01:14:04.000 I don't think so.
01:14:05.000 She's great.
01:14:05.000 Yeah.
01:14:06.000 She's, like, one of them matriarchal comedy mom figures. 1.00
01:14:09.000 Oh, nice.
01:14:10.000 Keeps everything together.
01:14:11.000 Did she...
01:14:12.000 Was that related to the Brooklyn one?
01:14:14.000 It was her.
01:14:14.000 So she started that one?
01:14:16.000 And moved out here.
01:14:17.000 And then moved out here.
01:14:17.000 Yeah.
01:14:18.000 Got it.
01:14:18.000 Oh, that's great.
01:14:19.000 Yeah.
01:14:19.000 The scene out here is strong, man.
01:14:21.000 There's a lot of comics out here.
01:14:22.000 Yeah.
01:14:22.000 A lot of open micers, too.
01:14:24.000 So they have a lot of open mics they go to.
01:14:27.000 Nice.
01:14:27.000 And there's a real good community.
01:14:28.000 That's awesome.
01:14:29.000 It's so good.
01:14:30.000 Yeah.
01:14:30.000 I was so...
01:14:31.000 I mean, I was so proud to be a comedian during all of this.
01:14:35.000 Just watching everybody doing whatever they could...
01:14:39.000 Figuring it out, right?
01:14:40.000 They just wanted to work.
01:14:42.000 They just wanted to relate.
01:14:44.000 They were courageous.
01:14:45.000 They were smart.
01:14:47.000 They were just trying to do shows.
01:14:50.000 It just was like, this is what makes comedy so great.
01:14:53.000 On rooftops and Zooming the things and doing whatever they could to create content.
01:14:58.000 They could have held back on the Zoom one.
01:15:00.000 Yeah, but you know.
01:15:02.000 I know, but you know what?
01:15:04.000 I did one for a charity in Montreal last week.
01:15:09.000 I've only done like three.
01:15:11.000 Was it good?
01:15:12.000 It was good.
01:15:13.000 It wasn't good for me.
01:15:18.000 It was good for the charities?
01:15:19.000 Is that what you're saying?
01:15:20.000 It was a charity for a hospital.
01:15:24.000 It wasn't a good one because it looked good, I guess, but I couldn't hear anything.
01:15:30.000 So I'm literally doing my own rhythm, taking my pauses of where I know the laughs are.
01:15:35.000 It wasn't like I felt satisfied.
01:15:37.000 But they did a meet and greet after, a Zoom meet and greet, and they had all these people in their house.
01:15:43.000 They were so grateful.
01:15:45.000 They were so happy.
01:15:47.000 They hadn't laughed that hard, blah, blah, blah.
01:15:49.000 For them, it was great.
01:15:52.000 So look, it's not awesome for us by any means, but if you're able to make these people have a good time in Montreal during their lockdown, whatever that is, You know, why not?
01:16:05.000 Why not?
01:16:06.000 They had a massive protest up there recently.
01:16:08.000 Did they? 1.00
01:16:09.000 Yeah, the fucking streets were filled with people. 1.00
01:16:11.000 I think it was Montreal. 1.00
01:16:13.000 It might have been Toronto.
01:16:14.000 What was going on?
01:16:15.000 They're sick of it.
01:16:16.000 They're sick of being locked in.
01:16:18.000 They're like, it doesn't make any sense.
01:16:20.000 Man, it's so unnatural.
01:16:21.000 It really is such a thing, right?
01:16:23.000 Well, I think it's in Ottawa where you have to have papers to show that there's a need for you to be outside the house.
01:16:34.000 Oh my god.
01:16:35.000 It's that bad?
01:16:36.000 Yeah, like you have to show some reason why you're driving somewhere.
01:16:40.000 God, so weird.
01:16:43.000 We can't slip back.
01:16:44.000 We just gotta go forward.
01:16:45.000 But this is the thing with the United States versus Canada.
01:16:49.000 Like, they don't have the same laws we have.
01:16:51.000 They don't have the same rights that we have.
01:16:53.000 They don't have the First Amendment.
01:16:54.000 Oh, really?
01:16:55.000 Yeah, they don't have freedom of speech.
01:16:57.000 It's not like an amendment the way we have.
01:17:00.000 Right, right.
01:17:01.000 They have human rights councils.
01:17:03.000 That's why people get sued for jokes up there. 0.53
01:17:05.000 That's like Mike Ward got sued for doing a joke up there.
01:17:09.000 Remember that?
01:17:10.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:17:11.000 Someone in the audience sued them and won, right?
01:17:14.000 I think that's a different one.
01:17:17.000 Mike Ward got sued because he made a joke about a kid that was sick, and then the kid was still alive a couple years later, and he made a joke about it.
01:17:27.000 And, you know, just typical dark comedy, right?
01:17:30.000 Right, right, yeah.
01:17:30.000 But the one who got sued because it was an audience member was somebody in Vancouver.
01:17:34.000 There was some people that were heckling, and he went after the hecklers. 0.99
01:17:38.000 I guess it was a lesbian couple, and, you know, he said some nasty shit to them. 0.99
01:17:44.000 He got sued and lost. 1.00
01:17:47.000 Right.
01:17:47.000 Geez, that's scary.
01:17:50.000 They don't have the same rules that we have up there.
01:17:52.000 It's just a different place.
01:17:54.000 You have to recognize that.
01:17:57.000 It seems like it's America, but it's not.
01:17:59.000 I mean, that's why they're still locked down like this, where it doesn't make any sense.
01:18:03.000 You saw the thing where they sent 200 cops to shut down a church?
01:18:07.000 No.
01:18:08.000 You never saw that?
01:18:08.000 No.
01:18:09.000 Bro, it's the nuttiest shit you've ever seen. 1.00
01:18:12.000 They had cops in SWAT gear to shut down a church. 1.00
01:18:14.000 Oh my God.
01:18:15.000 200 of them.
01:18:16.000 Wow.
01:18:17.000 Like, what are you doing, Canada?
01:18:18.000 Yeah, get it together.
01:18:19.000 What's going on?
01:18:22.000 What are you doing?
01:18:23.000 It really just threw...
01:18:25.000 It's not natural.
01:18:27.000 It's just like...
01:18:28.000 You can't put your boot on people's neck like that for too long.
01:18:35.000 It's just not natural.
01:18:37.000 You just watch with your kids.
01:18:39.000 Not being able to go out and do stuff.
01:18:41.000 I just want to go back to Joe Beef in Montreal.
01:18:45.000 You turned me on to that place.
01:18:47.000 Maybe they're open up a little bit.
01:18:49.000 Man, that place.
01:18:50.000 That place is sensational.
01:18:51.000 So good.
01:18:53.000 Shout out to Fred and David.
01:18:54.000 Yeah, holy cow. 0.95
01:18:56.000 That place is amazing.
01:18:57.000 I love that joint.
01:18:58.000 Those guys are artists, you know?
01:18:59.000 Yeah.
01:19:00.000 Like legitimate, genuine artists.
01:19:02.000 100%.
01:19:02.000 I don't understand how you can be an artist like that and keep the consistency, like, for all those people that are showing up every night.
01:19:11.000 Yeah.
01:19:11.000 There's like Chris Bianco in Arizona, a pizza artisan.
01:19:17.000 And it's just, everyone is, like, he's worked on it for a month.
01:19:21.000 You know what I mean?
01:19:41.000 I know it sounds corny, but the love comes into that process.
01:19:46.000 It's not corny.
01:19:47.000 That's really what it is.
01:19:48.000 Yeah.
01:19:49.000 You can tell when you walk into a place that, oh, there's an owner involved here who really cares.
01:19:55.000 Yeah.
01:19:56.000 Joe Beef's a perfect example of that.
01:19:58.000 I was introduced to those guys through Bourdain, and he was adamant that I had to meet them.
01:20:05.000 He was like, you got to meet these guys.
01:20:07.000 Really?
01:20:07.000 This place is incredible.
01:20:09.000 He's like, they just do it the right way.
01:20:11.000 And then you go there and you go, oh, okay, I get it.
01:20:14.000 And it's not a big place.
01:20:14.000 Yeah.
01:20:15.000 You know, it's like the perfect size.
01:20:17.000 You ever sit up where it's kind of open in the back, like by that grill?
01:20:21.000 Mm-hmm.
01:20:21.000 Oh, that's a great seat.
01:20:22.000 The staff there is incredible.
01:20:24.000 Everybody's like, they recognize that they're working in a special place.
01:20:28.000 Yeah, so good.
01:20:30.000 I love it so much.
01:20:31.000 It really...
01:20:32.000 Just those, like, you remember those meals, like, forever.
01:20:37.000 Like, you really, like, it's, some of those places stick.
01:20:40.000 You were eating every day, but when you go to a place like that, and you're just like, man, oh man.
01:20:45.000 So if you go up there right now, you have to go to a hotel for 14 days before you can go wandering around.
01:20:49.000 Yeah.
01:20:52.000 14 days. 1.00
01:20:54.000 Holy shit. 1.00
01:20:54.000 And like serious shit. 1.00
01:20:55.000 Like you can't mess around with it. 1.00
01:20:57.000 So dumb. 1.00
01:20:59.000 I know. 1.00
01:21:00.000 14 days.
01:21:02.000 I wonder what they're going to do when America fully opens up.
01:21:04.000 When America, like in the summer, when everything's just 100% opened up.
01:21:08.000 That's what I keep wondering.
01:21:09.000 Like June 15th in California, it's supposed to be- That's it.
01:21:15.000 That's it.
01:21:16.000 Yeah.
01:21:16.000 So what does that mean?
01:21:17.000 So I just- But how is that, June 15th? 0.99
01:21:20.000 How about right now, bitch? 1.00
01:21:21.000 Well, that's what I was saying about the car wash. 0.99
01:21:24.000 It was like, what are we doing?
01:21:27.000 Well, people who have been vaccinated still get COVID. Right.
01:21:32.000 Yeah.
01:21:32.000 But they don't get as sick.
01:21:34.000 Some of them have died.
01:21:35.000 Yeah, that's like two.
01:21:37.000 No, it's more than two.
01:21:38.000 Three?
01:21:39.000 I don't know.
01:21:40.000 We could find out how many.
01:21:41.000 But the idea is that what's odd is that they're calling those breakthrough cases, and they're only counting the ones that are hospitalized or dead.
01:21:50.000 Uh-huh.
01:21:51.000 And they're calling the people that died, most of them dying with COVID, not from COVID, because they have some sort of comorbidity.
01:22:00.000 Mm-hmm.
01:22:01.000 Right.
01:22:05.000 Right.
01:22:11.000 Right.
01:22:19.000 But the number of people that died just from COVID was only 6%.
01:22:23.000 So 94% died from something else and COVID. But they called it COVID. Now they're calling it a different thing.
01:22:31.000 So now if you're dying and you've been vaccinated, you've died with COVID. But it wasn't the COVID that got you.
01:22:37.000 It was cancer, diabetes, whatever it is.
01:22:41.000 But it's an interesting way.
01:22:42.000 It's an interesting distinction of how they're deciding to...
01:22:46.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:22:49.000 What's so puzzling, and I think it was so unsettling about it, was how almost everybody got their own version of it.
01:22:57.000 You know what I mean?
01:22:58.000 I had a friend that got it in New York, and once a month, she can't get out of bed. 1.00
01:23:06.000 For two days.
01:23:07.000 Still.
01:23:08.000 I have another friend in California who got it pretty mild, lost sense of taste and smell.
01:23:15.000 Still doesn't have it back.
01:23:17.000 How long ago?
01:23:17.000 A year.
01:23:18.000 Over a year.
01:23:19.000 Everything tastes like tin and coffee.
01:23:23.000 Our beautiful, sweet, sweet elixir is like rubber, like burnt rubber.
01:23:32.000 There's something about the process of...
01:23:34.000 I had someone on my podcast talking about it.
01:23:35.000 She's a food expert. 0.98
01:23:36.000 There's a thing when coffee gets heated up, when the bean gets heated up and it has that aroma that pops from it.
01:23:43.000 That's a process.
01:23:44.000 And it's the same thing with meat.
01:23:46.000 Oh, is that coffee right there?
01:23:49.000 Could you imagine if you got up and this sweet coffee tasted like rubber?
01:23:54.000 Smelled like was repulsive to you?
01:23:56.000 Cheers.
01:23:56.000 Cheers, Joe.
01:23:57.000 Good to see you.
01:23:58.000 I'm very happy to see you.
01:23:59.000 Good to see you, too, buddy.
01:24:00.000 In all honesty, there's something strange about you not being out there.
01:24:04.000 Not for me.
01:24:05.000 Because, I mean, we would run into each other, you know, not every day, but there's just something about knowing that your friend's nearby.
01:24:12.000 I do feel that.
01:24:13.000 Like, I ran into Eric Griffin last night.
01:24:15.000 Eric Griffin came by the Creek in the Caribbean.
01:24:17.000 Oh, yeah.
01:24:17.000 It was like, ah, it was a big old love fest.
01:24:19.000 Yeah, I know.
01:24:20.000 It's like, I mean, we move around so much that it shouldn't be a big deal, but I don't know.
01:24:25.000 It's a big deal.
01:24:26.000 I just miss having you around.
01:24:27.000 It's a big deal.
01:24:28.000 I miss it, but I just don't miss living in California.
01:24:33.000 I don't miss the amount of people.
01:24:35.000 I don't miss the traffic.
01:24:37.000 I don't miss the tension.
01:24:38.000 I don't miss the anxiety.
01:24:39.000 I don't miss the way the states run.
01:24:41.000 I don't miss the attitudes.
01:24:44.000 There's a different vibe out here.
01:24:46.000 People are just much friendlier.
01:24:47.000 There definitely is.
01:24:49.000 I mean, look, those changes are real.
01:24:51.000 I have a friend that moved from—an ex-brother-in-law who I ran into, I was doing shows in North Carolina last week, and he moved down there from New Jersey.
01:25:01.000 And New Jersey has a very L.A. feel to it.
01:25:05.000 It's packed with people.
01:25:06.000 There's a lot of— Angry drivers, a lot of tension, all those things you're mentioning.
01:25:11.000 And he looked great.
01:25:14.000 He was like, man, I have been so stress-free since moving to Raleigh, North Carolina.
01:25:21.000 He goes, I can't tell you.
01:25:23.000 It's just the stress is gone.
01:25:26.000 It's a real thing.
01:25:27.000 It's a real thing.
01:25:28.000 And you've done a thing where you made us all think about it when we're there.
01:25:34.000 Like, it definitely is on my mind because we talk a lot about, you know, and I think you've made a great move and you definitely have given us an alternative to, like, put all that stuff against, you know?
01:25:49.000 Yeah.
01:25:51.000 But there's still great things.
01:25:52.000 I still love California.
01:25:53.000 There's still a lot of great, you know, I love being by the ocean.
01:25:57.000 I love all that kind of stuff.
01:25:58.000 You're a glass-half-full kind of guy.
01:25:59.000 I am.
01:26:00.000 I could be that way in Omaha.
01:26:01.000 Yeah.
01:26:04.000 Especially when my family's around.
01:26:06.000 The greatest thing about California is the Comedy Store.
01:26:08.000 That's the greatest thing for me.
01:26:10.000 Yeah.
01:26:10.000 I mean, my friends for sure, but my friends and most of my best friends were in comedy.
01:26:17.000 Yeah, all of them.
01:26:17.000 So we would all go to the comedy store.
01:26:20.000 Joey Diaz moved to New Jersey.
01:26:22.000 I know.
01:26:23.000 Ari moved to New York a long time ago.
01:26:26.000 Tony's out here with me.
01:26:27.000 Right.
01:26:28.000 Tim Dillon's out here.
01:26:29.000 Tim's here now?
01:26:30.000 Yep, Tim's here.
01:26:31.000 Tom Segura's out here now.
01:26:33.000 Wow.
01:26:34.000 Yeah.
01:26:35.000 Yeah.
01:26:36.000 It is...
01:26:38.000 I don't know if it's just in our heads, but it feels...
01:26:41.000 I mean, it's also...
01:26:42.000 The store is a little different anyway, because it's still, like, limited capacity and stuff.
01:26:47.000 But, yeah, I don't know.
01:26:50.000 I think having you guys not be there, you can feel it a little bit.
01:26:54.000 Yeah.
01:26:54.000 You can feel it.
01:26:55.000 I mean, I love everybody that's there, and there's some people I didn't really know who I'm seeing more often that is exciting.
01:27:04.000 Like, it's all good.
01:27:05.000 It's all great.
01:27:06.000 And, you know, you guys will pop in all the time, I'm sure.
01:27:09.000 But it's just the day-to-day.
01:27:11.000 It'd be like going to the Comedy Cellar and having all of a sudden Colin and Norton are not there anymore.
01:27:18.000 It feels like a different place.
01:27:21.000 Yeah, I used to so look forward to going to that back bar and just hang in.
01:27:25.000 Yeah.
01:27:25.000 Just open up the door.
01:27:26.000 Who's there?
01:27:26.000 Tom Papa!
01:27:27.000 What's up?
01:27:28.000 It was just a great vibe of being there.
01:27:34.000 Yeah.
01:27:34.000 But one of the things that this move taught me was that it's like wherever you are is where you are.
01:27:43.000 It's your home.
01:27:44.000 Wherever you are is where whatever you decide your base is.
01:27:49.000 Yeah.
01:27:51.000 You set up your life and that's how you live.
01:27:54.000 And if you can live in a place with less extraneous factors that are fucking with you in terms of traffic and noise and pollution, the air here is so much clearer.
01:28:10.000 It's so much cleaner.
01:28:11.000 You don't deal with the kind of pollution that you dealt with in LA. And it's an illusion in LA. You see sun and palm trees and you think, this is so great.
01:28:19.000 When we have friends over, we have like a little back patio, excuse me, and we have to wipe it down every day.
01:28:26.000 And I'm telling you, when we wipe it down, like it is a black residue on our rag.
01:28:32.000 Break dust and pollution.
01:28:33.000 Just that's in the air. 1.00
01:28:35.000 You're breathing that shit in every day. 1.00
01:28:37.000 Every day. 1.00
01:28:37.000 And it lowers your life expectancy by about 10 years. 1.00
01:28:40.000 Ten?
01:28:41.000 Yeah.
01:28:41.000 Come on.
01:28:42.000 They say people that live in crowded, congested cities like Los Angeles have a life expectancy that's about ten years less.
01:28:50.000 Really?
01:28:51.000 Same for New York?
01:28:52.000 Young Jamie.
01:28:52.000 That's a lot of years.
01:28:54.000 You don't trust me?
01:28:56.000 I trust you.
01:28:58.000 I trust you, but I don't want to believe you.
01:29:03.000 Ten's a lot.
01:29:04.000 I'm pretty sure that's what I read.
01:29:05.000 So people in New York City are dying ten years?
01:29:07.000 Yes.
01:29:09.000 Yeah.
01:29:09.000 So if they would have made it to 80, they only make it to 70. Are we going to be around long enough?
01:29:17.000 I was talking to Duncan about this yesterday.
01:29:19.000 Uh-oh.
01:29:21.000 Hey, man!
01:29:22.000 Man, I'm telling you, what this vaccine has showed us is that there's a new way to go in and mess with our DNA. And we're going to be able to...
01:29:34.000 We're so close, man, to the singularity.
01:29:37.000 We're going to live to 150 for sure.
01:29:41.000 Is that what he's saying?
01:29:42.000 Uh-huh.
01:29:43.000 Have you seen all the wackadoos that think that the government is putting chips in your arm because magnets will stick to the vaccine sites?
01:29:50.000 Wait, say that again.
01:29:54.000 There's literally hours of videos online of people putting a magnet on the site where they got vaccinated to get the magnet to stick, thinking that there's a microchip inside of the vaccine.
01:30:13.000 Oh, it's so brilliant.
01:30:14.000 It's so crazy, but there's so many videos, man.
01:30:17.000 It's so funny.
01:30:18.000 And you're like, is everybody trolling?
01:30:19.000 Like, what is going on?
01:30:20.000 Yeah, the whole...
01:30:21.000 Right, exactly.
01:30:21.000 What did I ask you to look up?
01:30:23.000 I found contradictory information.
01:30:26.000 Okay.
01:30:26.000 Children born in Los Angeles County today can expect to live more than 82 years, which is longer than the average American.
01:30:31.000 Yeah, but that's not what the question was.
01:30:34.000 Keep going.
01:30:34.000 The question is, there was a study that showed that people that live in high...
01:30:41.000 Population, polluted cities have a life expectancy of 10 years less.
01:30:46.000 Yeah, but non-specifically.
01:30:47.000 The problem with LA that may balance it out is Los Angeles people are particularly athletic, or rather exercise-oriented.
01:30:53.000 Health conscious, eating their oat milks. 1.00
01:30:57.000 That shit ain't good for you. 1.00
01:30:59.000 Three years, it says. 1.00
01:31:01.000 Breathing polluted air shortens people's lives by an average of three years a new study finds.
01:31:05.000 Yeah, that makes more sense.
01:31:07.000 Ten's a big thing. 0.90
01:31:08.000 Okay, yeah, I fucked it up.
01:31:09.000 But that doesn't mean three.
01:31:10.000 How can you tell three? 0.99
01:31:12.000 Just think about how many people go down quick because it's trash.
01:31:15.000 And how do you measure those things when the pollution levels have changed so much within those people's lifetimes?
01:31:20.000 What I'm saying is stress.
01:31:21.000 If you live in a city that's a high-population city...
01:31:25.000 Look, for us...
01:31:27.000 We live probably a much nicer version of LA than a lot of people.
01:31:32.000 Oh yeah, we don't have to get up in the morning and cut through the traffic every day.
01:31:35.000 Holy cow, going down that four or five every single day to go do your thing.
01:31:39.000 I used to take my convertible to the store and sometimes I get caught in traffic in the Corvette and I would be dizzy by the time I got to the store because I'd be just breathing fumes.
01:31:49.000 My sinuses would be all messed up.
01:31:51.000 Think about what you're doing if you're in a convertible.
01:31:53.000 You're sitting on the 405 and everybody's just burning gas.
01:31:59.000 I know.
01:32:00.000 And it's worse than a motorcycle because you can zoom through everybody on the bike, but in a car you're just stuck there.
01:32:06.000 You're just sitting there sniffing people's burnt gas. 0.98
01:32:09.000 The convertible is a dumb idea in LA. I had one too. 0.99
01:32:12.000 And it's also so goddamn hot that the amount of days you can put the roof down, you're just sitting there baking on the 405. You know what I used to love it? 0.75
01:32:21.000 I used to love it driving to the store in the winter at night because it would be cold.
01:32:25.000 Nice.
01:32:25.000 And it would be like, by the time I get there, I was alive.
01:32:28.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:32:31.000 I like that car because it doesn't have any entertainment.
01:32:34.000 The only entertainment is the car itself.
01:32:36.000 There's no radio in it.
01:32:39.000 What year?
01:32:40.000 65. 65. Do they have belts?
01:32:43.000 Sort of. 1.00
01:32:44.000 Let's stop fucking around. 1.00
01:32:46.000 You get in an accident and that fucking piece of plastic is literally made out of plastic. 1.00
01:32:51.000 It's a fiberglass car. 0.99
01:32:53.000 I have a Volkswagen, a 67 Volkswagen, and it just has a lap belt.
01:32:59.000 Ooh, yeah.
01:32:59.000 That's what my Corvette has.
01:33:00.000 Yeah.
01:33:01.000 It's a joke.
01:33:02.000 Should you put in...
01:33:03.000 I always think, like, I should just put in a seatbelt.
01:33:05.000 Like, why can't I put...
01:33:05.000 Three-point harness?
01:33:06.000 Yeah.
01:33:07.000 But then Leno...
01:33:08.000 I did Leno's show.
01:33:09.000 Eh, anyway, you bet.
01:33:11.000 Well, your time's up, your time's up.
01:33:12.000 You say, oh, you got the Volkswagen.
01:33:15.000 That's great.
01:33:15.000 He said this to me in the break.
01:33:16.000 Like, in the break of his show.
01:33:18.000 He goes, hey, you got a Volkswagen?
01:33:19.000 I was like...
01:33:21.000 Excited to talk car with him.
01:33:23.000 This was one of the first times I was on.
01:33:24.000 And I was like, oh yeah, I got a 67 Volkswagen.
01:33:27.000 Thinking in my head, he's going to think I'm cool.
01:33:29.000 He's like, yeah, those things are death traps.
01:33:31.000 You know, the whole gas tank is right in your lap.
01:33:33.000 You get hit in that thing.
01:33:34.000 Goodbye. 0.62
01:33:34.000 All right, welcome back. 0.62
01:33:36.000 We got Tom Poppe here.
01:33:38.000 He's talking about his new show.
01:33:42.000 Yeah.
01:33:43.000 I don't think he'd be into Volkswagens anyway.
01:33:45.000 He's into like big loud things.
01:33:47.000 He's got everything.
01:33:48.000 He's got everything.
01:33:49.000 Everything.
01:33:49.000 That place is amazing, isn't it?
01:33:50.000 Oh my god, it's incredible.
01:33:52.000 Isn't it amazing too that this really speaks to doing something that you're really passionate about because although he was obviously a very good host of The Tonight Show.
01:34:01.000 Yeah.
01:34:02.000 The Tonight Show is not representative of the real Jay Leno.
01:34:04.000 The real Jay Leno you meet when you do his car show.
01:34:07.000 Right.
01:34:09.000 Messing around.
01:34:10.000 I did Jay Leno's garage with my Corvette.
01:34:13.000 Oh, nice.
01:34:14.000 And he and I were talking, and the passion that he has for these cars is so contagious. 0.98
01:34:21.000 And he's talking about suspensions and the fucking steering... 0.98
01:34:25.000 Look at that thing. 0.99
01:34:26.000 Oh, God.
01:34:27.000 What is that?
01:34:28.000 I don't know.
01:34:28.000 He just had a good smile on his face.
01:34:30.000 Oh, is that the...
01:34:31.000 It's like a jet car.
01:34:31.000 Begin with a B, right?
01:34:33.000 It's amazing.
01:34:34.000 Whatever it is.
01:34:36.000 Look at that thing. 0.92
01:34:37.000 Look at the smile, though.
01:34:39.000 That is as real a smile as a human being has ever smiled.
01:34:43.000 It really is.
01:34:44.000 He is so happy. 0.99
01:34:46.000 He fucking loves cars, man. 0.99
01:34:47.000 He does. 1.00
01:34:48.000 So when he's doing that show...
01:34:50.000 Bugatti?
01:34:52.000 Is it?
01:34:52.000 No.
01:34:53.000 Could be.
01:34:54.000 Maybe like an old school...
01:34:56.000 Tank car.
01:34:58.000 Tank car.
01:34:59.000 Turboed up for 1,600 horsepower.
01:35:03.000 Oh my god. 1.00
01:35:04.000 Reggie Watts sent me this fucking car. 1.00
01:35:06.000 Dude, you want to see something wild? 1.00
01:35:08.000 Yeah.
01:35:08.000 There's a...
01:35:09.000 A drag race between this car and this new electric car.
01:35:17.000 And there's a drag race between that new electric car and a Ferrari.
01:35:22.000 Oh, yeah?
01:35:22.000 Yeah, let me tell you.
01:35:25.000 I'll just send this to you, Jamie.
01:35:26.000 This is the actual YouTube video itself.
01:35:29.000 The Rimac Navara?
01:35:30.000 Yeah.
01:35:31.000 Got it.
01:35:31.000 Yeah, I'm going to send you the...
01:35:32.000 I got it.
01:35:33.000 Oh, you got the drag race ready?
01:35:34.000 Yeah.
01:35:35.000 Okay, yeah, this is it.
01:35:36.000 So it's Car Wow, that's the show.
01:35:38.000 Car Wow. 1.00
01:35:39.000 And in this, these crazy assholes take this, there's this new insane, I don't know who makes that. 1.00
01:35:48.000 Is it a small boutique company? 1.00
01:35:50.000 But it goes up against the newest, dopest Ferrari, and when I mean it buries this fucking thing. 0.99
01:35:57.000 Like, watch this. 0.99
01:35:58.000 The Rumac-Nivera. 0.62
01:35:59.000 It's going to be right around there.
01:36:01.000 They're going to do the 3, 2, 1, go.
01:36:03.000 So, watch this.
01:36:05.000 Watch how fast this thing buries the Ferrari.
01:36:07.000 Like, goodbye.
01:36:08.000 Wow!
01:36:10.000 That's the fastest Ferrari, and it literally gets left in the dust.
01:36:14.000 It looks like a Prius.
01:36:17.000 And it leaves it in the dust.
01:36:19.000 Wow.
01:36:21.000 And it looks like a Ferrari, too.
01:36:24.000 I mean, it looks like a McLaren or some, you know, similar supercar.
01:36:33.000 That's electric?
01:36:34.000 That's all electric?
01:36:35.000 Yeah, it says new Drag Race world record.
01:36:37.000 But that Drag Race world record from June 1st, 2021, I don't think that's the world record anymore.
01:36:43.000 I think the Tesla Model S Plaid just beat that.
01:36:47.000 Oh, really?
01:36:47.000 Yeah, because the Tesla Model S Plaid just got the fastest ever quarter mile time.
01:36:52.000 Really? 1.00
01:36:53.000 A fucking family sedan. 1.00
01:36:55.000 What's the Plaid? 1.00
01:36:55.000 I don't know the Plaid. 1.00
01:36:56.000 The Plaid is the newest version of it that has five engines and it's...
01:37:02.000 Is that what it is?
01:37:02.000 Five engines or three engines?
01:37:04.000 What does it have?
01:37:05.000 Jeez.
01:37:05.000 Something.
01:37:06.000 Three?
01:37:06.000 I want to say three.
01:37:07.000 Yeah.
01:37:07.000 Maybe three.
01:37:08.000 Maybe mine has two and this one has three.
01:37:10.000 Right.
01:37:10.000 But it has zero to 60. Ready?
01:37:14.000 1.9 seconds.
01:37:16.000 1.9?
01:37:17.000 1.9 seconds.
01:37:18.000 Oh! 0.60
01:37:20.000 060 for a family car.
01:37:22.000 It's like a sedan.
01:37:23.000 Yeah, that's IMBS. Yeah, it's fucking incredible. 0.99
01:37:26.000 Super comfortable, four-door, rocket sled, spaceship. 0.98
01:37:30.000 Holy cow. 0.89
01:37:31.000 The term plaid is a play off of Spaceballs.
01:37:33.000 It's from the movie Spaceballs.
01:37:35.000 He loves Spaceballs.
01:37:37.000 He really loves Spaceballs.
01:37:38.000 That guy's the best.
01:37:39.000 He really is. 0.99
01:37:40.000 How many fucking people are like him? 1.00
01:37:41.000 Do you know he made his rocket? 0.99
01:37:43.000 He shaped his rocket closer to the rocket on Spaceballs.
01:37:47.000 He literally made it less aerodynamic because he wanted it to look like the rocket from Spaceballs.
01:37:53.000 You gotta have fun!
01:37:54.000 You gotta enjoy yourself!
01:37:55.000 Do you know how much that car costs?
01:37:57.000 Let me guess.
01:37:58.000 Guess.
01:37:59.000 $900,000.
01:38:01.000 No.
01:38:02.000 Way more.
01:38:03.000 What?
01:38:03.000 Way more.
01:38:04.000 Way more.
01:38:04.000 Okay.
01:38:05.000 Two million dollars.
01:38:06.000 Way more.
01:38:07.000 What?
01:38:08.000 Come on.
01:38:08.000 How much did that car cost?
01:38:09.000 2.45 million dollars.
01:38:12.000 Because they made only two of them?
01:38:13.000 Wow.
01:38:14.000 That seems a bit excessive.
01:38:16.000 Yeah, I was thinking about it at 1.5, but...
01:38:19.000 That seems a little excessive.
01:38:22.000 Maybe this was for the prototype.
01:38:24.000 It doesn't say, though.
01:38:25.000 It just says that's how much this could.
01:38:26.000 It says 2.45 Rimac Nevera electric hypercar, but it ran a quarter mile in 8.6 seconds, so that's why it doesn't make sense.
01:38:33.000 Well, it's probably handmade.
01:38:36.000 Handmade.
01:38:37.000 It's probably one of those.
01:38:38.000 Four motors, 1,900 horsepower.
01:38:40.000 1,900 horsepower.
01:38:42.000 Jeez Louise. 1.00
01:38:44.000 What in the fuck? 1.00
01:38:46.000 That's so great. 1.00
01:38:47.000 It's so weird, man.
01:38:48.000 It used to be back in the day that if you had 400 horsepower, it was a lot.
01:38:51.000 I have the SpaceX app on my phone.
01:38:56.000 Do you have that?
01:38:57.000 No.
01:38:57.000 You got to download it.
01:38:59.000 What does it do?
01:39:00.000 It gives you an alert.
01:39:01.000 Every time they're launching?
01:39:02.000 Every time they're launching.
01:39:03.000 And you can watch?
01:39:04.000 And you can watch.
01:39:06.000 And it is the coolest thing because this is exactly what you wanted space travel to be.
01:39:11.000 They literally show you like...
01:39:13.000 And they don't waste time.
01:39:15.000 It's just so efficient.
01:39:17.000 They'll key you in with 10 minutes to go.
01:39:20.000 And there's a smart...
01:39:24.000 Duo who look attractive and they're just giving you all the information and they've got the whole live feed of the thing getting ready to launch and they're just so smart.
01:39:35.000 They're just telling you all this great information and it just all looks like the future.
01:39:40.000 It doesn't look like the old NASA. It seems like current.
01:39:44.000 And then you get to watch this liftoff or like when the guys were coming back from the space station.
01:39:51.000 I got home after being out with some friends.
01:39:54.000 I'm a little drunk.
01:39:55.000 I'm in my bed.
01:39:56.000 Bling! 0.99
01:39:56.000 SpaceX. 0.99
01:39:57.000 And you show these guys coming back and landing and watch the whole thing of how they get the spacecraft onto the boat and the...
01:40:07.000 Right there in the palm of your hand.
01:40:08.000 It's like, this guy's the coolest!
01:40:10.000 It's pretty dope.
01:40:11.000 It's so great!
01:40:12.000 Is it available for Android, too, or just for iPhones?
01:40:14.000 I'm sure it's available for everybody, right?
01:40:17.000 Nothing's not.
01:40:18.000 No?
01:40:18.000 Nothing's not.
01:40:19.000 Really?
01:40:20.000 I don't know.
01:40:20.000 Does Elon not like Android?
01:40:22.000 I don't know.
01:40:22.000 I bet it's for everybody.
01:40:24.000 He's the people, Space Company.
01:40:26.000 Would you go? 1.00
01:40:28.000 Fuck yeah. 1.00
01:40:28.000 You want to go? 1.00
01:40:30.000 Go blast off?
01:40:31.000 Oh, no, no.
01:40:32.000 I'll go watch.
01:40:33.000 No, no, no.
01:40:34.000 I thought you meant go watch.
01:40:35.000 Would you do one of the space tourism things, go up, loop around the planet a couple times?
01:40:42.000 No, legitimately, if it did get safe to the point where they do on a regular basis, like plane travel, yeah, I would go.
01:40:49.000 I think just for the perspective.
01:40:50.000 Yeah.
01:40:51.000 Because I remember going to Hawaii and going to the Keck Observatory and seeing the Milky Way and seeing how clear the stars were.
01:40:57.000 Oh, yeah.
01:40:57.000 That adjusted my perspective.
01:40:59.000 Really?
01:41:00.000 Yeah, because it was so radical, so bright.
01:41:03.000 The stars were so incredibly vivid.
01:41:05.000 Wow.
01:41:05.000 The Milky Way's so clear.
01:41:06.000 I remember thinking like, oh my God, this is up here all the time and we never see it.
01:41:11.000 This is amazing.
01:41:12.000 Light pollution fucks us so bad.
01:41:14.000 I know. 0.94
01:41:15.000 So bad.
01:41:15.000 This amazing vision of the heavens is available, and it's so awe-inspiring.
01:41:21.000 You see it, like...
01:41:22.000 Wow.
01:41:23.000 Can anyone do that?
01:41:24.000 Yes!
01:41:25.000 Anybody!
01:41:25.000 You can just travel up there.
01:41:26.000 Really?
01:41:27.000 Yeah, you go to the observatory.
01:41:28.000 You don't even have to go to the top where the observatory is.
01:41:31.000 You go to the visitor center, and they have satellites or, excuse me, telescopes set up out there.
01:41:36.000 But you don't even have to use the telescopes.
01:41:38.000 I'm telling you, man.
01:41:39.000 It's just so dark.
01:41:39.000 You just look up.
01:41:41.000 Yeah.
01:41:41.000 That's what it looks like.
01:41:43.000 No bullshit. 0.95
01:41:43.000 That is literally what it looks like. 0.95
01:41:45.000 We never see that.
01:41:47.000 We never see that.
01:41:47.000 But you want to do it.
01:41:48.000 You want to make sure it's with, what is it, a new moon is what they call it when it's dark?
01:41:52.000 Uh-huh.
01:41:53.000 Yeah.
01:41:54.000 You want to go up there when the moon is not out.
01:41:56.000 Which island is that?
01:41:57.000 That's the big island. 0.99
01:41:58.000 I went up there and I fucked up and I went up there. 0.97
01:42:01.000 The first time I went up there, I went up there with my family a long time ago. 0.98
01:42:04.000 We went up there and it's amazing.
01:42:06.000 And then we went up there a second time years later and unfortunately we caught it while the moon was out.
01:42:12.000 I didn't think.
01:42:12.000 I was like, oh, this blows.
01:42:15.000 Right.
01:42:16.000 Yeah, that's exactly what it was like.
01:42:18.000 Oh, wow. 1.00
01:42:19.000 This eats shit. 1.00
01:42:20.000 I can't believe I travel up here to look at the fucking moon. 1.00
01:42:23.000 I see the moon all the time. 0.99
01:42:25.000 The only thing I see is the moon.
01:42:26.000 Exactly.
01:42:27.000 It just dulls out the rest.
01:42:28.000 But when the moon is not out, it's spectacular.
01:42:31.000 Because you drive through the clouds. 0.98
01:42:34.000 When we were driving, we hit cloud cover, and I was like, oh, fuck, there's clouds. 0.95
01:42:38.000 We're not going to be able to see anything. 0.99
01:42:40.000 But you keep driving, and all of a sudden, poop!
01:42:42.000 You pop through the clouds and you're like, oh my god, this is above the clouds.
01:42:47.000 And then you keep going and then you make it to the observatory.
01:42:50.000 Oh my god.
01:42:50.000 It's wild.
01:42:51.000 It is amazing how much light, what do they call it?
01:42:55.000 Light pollution?
01:42:56.000 Light pollution, yeah.
01:42:56.000 It's how brutal it is.
01:42:58.000 Like anytime you see like, oh there's going to be a new thing or this comet's coming through and you're like, I can't see it here.
01:43:04.000 There's no way.
01:43:05.000 Yeah.
01:43:06.000 It's not good for us.
01:43:08.000 Yeah.
01:43:08.000 I think it fucks with people's perceptions of what life really is, too.
01:43:13.000 Yeah.
01:43:14.000 So would you go?
01:43:15.000 Like, would you go up there and a couple loops around?
01:43:17.000 Why?
01:43:18.000 Are we going together?
01:43:19.000 Are you trying to talk me into something, Tom Papa?
01:43:21.000 I'm thinking about it.
01:43:22.000 Do you want to go?
01:43:23.000 Do you have a loyalty to Elon Musk?
01:43:25.000 I'd probably throw up.
01:43:26.000 What if Jeff Bezos offered trips first?
01:43:28.000 Would you go with him?
01:43:29.000 Sure.
01:43:30.000 Would you?
01:43:30.000 Yeah, why not?
01:43:32.000 He has our best interest at heart, doesn't he?
01:43:37.000 Some company bought 15 of those.
01:43:39.000 We were just talking about the supersonic jets to go three hours across Newark.
01:43:45.000 Yeah.
01:43:45.000 Three hours where?
01:43:46.000 Newark to London.
01:43:48.000 Oh, like the Concorde kind of thing?
01:43:49.000 The new supersonic jets can do four hours to any spot on the planet.
01:43:54.000 Four hours?
01:43:55.000 Four hours.
01:43:56.000 Four hours to anywhere you want to go.
01:43:58.000 Whoa.
01:43:58.000 You want to go to Mongolia?
01:44:00.000 Four hours.
01:44:01.000 You want to go to Russia?
01:44:02.000 Four hours.
01:44:02.000 Does it look like the Concorde?
01:44:04.000 They look pretty dope.
01:44:05.000 Yeah?
01:44:06.000 They don't have the pointy downward nose thing.
01:44:09.000 That was cool.
01:44:09.000 It was pretty cool.
01:44:10.000 Yeah.
01:44:11.000 But they look pretty dope.
01:44:12.000 And they're starting to develop them.
01:44:15.000 Wow.
01:44:16.000 Starting to...
01:44:17.000 I think different airlines are going to start offering them up.
01:44:21.000 So what if it just went higher instead of to somewhere and just came back and you got to see space?
01:44:27.000 Right.
01:44:27.000 Yeah.
01:44:28.000 You get to leave the Earth for a bit.
01:44:30.000 It's kind of cool.
01:44:31.000 I mean, kind of cool.
01:44:33.000 Yeah, real cool.
01:44:34.000 Real cool.
01:44:34.000 When does space start?
01:44:37.000 Like, technically.
01:44:38.000 Technically we're in it.
01:44:41.000 That's deep.
01:44:43.000 I don't know, there's a lot of airs and clouds in the way.
01:44:46.000 You gotta break through the atmosphere.
01:44:48.000 Yeah.
01:44:49.000 I think it's like, I want to say it's like 90,000 feet.
01:44:54.000 Yeah, it's not that high, right?
01:44:57.000 Because when I look at my SpaceX app, it seems like they do it pretty quick.
01:45:03.000 I think you want to go into the upper atmosphere.
01:45:06.000 That's where...
01:45:07.000 Technically, okay, so it says U.S. military and NASA to find space differently.
01:45:11.000 According to them, space starts 12 miles below the Karman line at 50 miles above Earth's surface.
01:45:16.000 That's... 0.83
01:45:17.000 Pretty fucking far. 0.99
01:45:18.000 That's pretty fucking far. 0.99
01:45:19.000 So a mile is 5,000 feet? 0.98
01:45:21.000 Yeah.
01:45:22.000 Yeah, that's a lot.
01:45:24.000 Yeah, but you're there pretty quick because you've got a rocket.
01:45:27.000 Look at who you're selling.
01:45:29.000 He's like a COVID salesman.
01:45:32.000 He's a rocket salesman.
01:45:35.000 What do you got?
01:45:36.000 He's not worried about Lyme disease.
01:45:37.000 It makes me comfortable that they did it and released it.
01:45:41.000 I feel good about it.
01:45:42.000 60 miles?
01:45:44.000 Somewhere between 50 and 60 miles, yeah.
01:45:47.000 What else did they do on Plum Island?
01:45:49.000 I don't know if that's the line here.
01:45:53.000 So what is that, 35,000 feet?
01:45:55.000 No, 350. 350,000 feet, duh.
01:45:58.000 350,000 feet.
01:45:59.000 So, 350,000 feet, and the really high planes go to what?
01:46:03.000 40,000 feet?
01:46:04.000 Like 40. Is that 40 or 50?
01:46:05.000 Yeah.
01:46:06.000 40 is high.
01:46:07.000 One of those UAP things I saw that said they went over above 200,000 feet and they couldn't track it anymore, and I was like, how high is that?
01:46:12.000 God.
01:46:13.000 My ears would definitely pop on that flight.
01:46:15.000 So, what is that right there we're looking at?
01:46:17.000 It says...
01:46:18.000 How high is that?
01:46:19.000 It doesn't say here.
01:46:20.000 It just looks pretty.
01:46:22.000 It comes up when I Google it.
01:46:23.000 So that is like probably the edge of space.
01:46:26.000 So that's like where some of those trips will take you.
01:46:29.000 So you're really high up and you get this amazing view of Earth from above.
01:46:33.000 But you don't have to do re-entry.
01:46:36.000 I was thinking of this because that guy just broke the record of falling without a parachute.
01:46:41.000 Oh, yeah.
01:46:42.000 Oh, yeah.
01:46:43.000 Super gnarly.
01:46:45.000 Imagine why.
01:46:47.000 What'd he do?
01:46:47.000 He'd fall into a net.
01:46:49.000 He literally fell from the edge of space into a net with no parachute.
01:46:53.000 Into a net?
01:46:55.000 A net.
01:46:56.000 How did he navigate that?
01:46:58.000 Hmm.
01:46:58.000 Well, he's got Lyme disease and COVID, so he's got superpowers.
01:47:03.000 Nothing's getting me.
01:47:04.000 And he only eats bread.
01:47:06.000 Nothing's getting me.
01:47:08.000 We can do it.
01:47:09.000 It'll be fine.
01:47:10.000 It'll be fine. 1.00
01:47:10.000 He's a fucking crazy person. 1.00
01:47:12.000 He had oxygen for the beginning because you can't breathe up there. 1.00
01:47:17.000 And then at a certain point, there's just like a beep in his helmet that tells him, hey, you're halfway there.
01:47:21.000 And then another beep, get ready because ground's coming up.
01:47:25.000 Come on! 0.61
01:47:26.000 See, these four together, the problem is, if these people collide, and sometimes they do, it just rips their limbs apart.
01:47:33.000 Yeah, that wouldn't be so good.
01:47:35.000 It's like, you're going, you know, who knows how fucking fast.
01:47:37.000 Like, people have done that before while skydiving, collided into each other.
01:47:42.000 So he just keeps falling.
01:47:44.000 Everyone else is hitting their parachutes now.
01:47:46.000 Their parachutes are now.
01:47:46.000 He's still got 5,000 feet, I think, on his own.
01:47:49.000 And he has to...
01:47:50.000 How does he know?
01:47:50.000 What's he going to hit?
01:47:51.000 He's going to aim down to get to that spot.
01:47:54.000 Oh, my God!
01:47:56.000 How they had a live camera feed off of his helmet, which is...
01:47:58.000 That's pretty gnarly technology, too.
01:48:00.000 So when he gets towards the bottom, he has to turn upside down so that he falls into it.
01:48:04.000 Watch this move.
01:48:05.000 It's a pretty slick move.
01:48:07.000 See it?
01:48:07.000 Look at that.
01:48:08.000 Boom.
01:48:08.000 And he only caught it on the edge, dude.
01:48:10.000 He caught it on the edge.
01:48:11.000 He did.
01:48:12.000 Like, he almost missed it.
01:48:14.000 That's insanity!
01:48:15.000 Oh my god!
01:48:17.000 How do you get past that head rush? 1.00
01:48:19.000 That's like those dudes that jerk off with a noose around their neck. 1.00
01:48:22.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:48:22.000 Like, hey. 1.00
01:48:25.000 Calm down.
01:48:26.000 You're just reaching too high, buddy.
01:48:28.000 Right, exactly.
01:48:29.000 You don't need this in your life.
01:48:30.000 I think you need it.
01:48:31.000 You don't need this.
01:48:32.000 You need love.
01:48:33.000 You need a hug.
01:48:34.000 You need to start a family.
01:48:35.000 Right, exactly.
01:48:36.000 You need someone else to think about.
01:48:37.000 Yeah, I bet he doesn't have kids.
01:48:39.000 No way.
01:48:40.000 Yeah, it doesn't seem like something you would do if you had kids.
01:48:41.000 No, no way. 1.00
01:48:43.000 Jump into a fucking net with no parachute and almost miss. 1.00
01:48:47.000 That's why I have kids, is just to say no to all crazy shit. 1.00
01:48:51.000 My friends are like, we want to go do this. 0.99
01:48:53.000 Nah, I'm a father.
01:48:54.000 It seems like that net could have been a little bigger.
01:48:56.000 Way bigger.
01:48:57.000 Wikipedia says he has one kid.
01:48:59.000 Oh, really?
01:49:00.000 I mean, that seems like if there's a little wind...
01:49:05.000 What'd you say?
01:49:05.000 I was about to say something terrible.
01:49:09.000 The same guy helped David Blaine with his stunt.
01:49:12.000 Oh, with the balloons?
01:49:13.000 Yeah, but...
01:49:14.000 That was nuts, too.
01:49:16.000 God, that's so crazy. 1.00
01:49:18.000 Fuck all that. 1.00
01:49:19.000 I don't need to jump from a plane. 1.00
01:49:21.000 No.
01:49:22.000 I don't need to jump from a plane.
01:49:24.000 A train or a bus?
01:49:26.000 Or a bus.
01:49:26.000 Now we're a Dr. Seuss now.
01:49:29.000 I do not want green eggs and ham.
01:49:32.000 But the space thing, it does intrigue me.
01:49:36.000 I do get kind of nauseous with travel sometimes.
01:49:39.000 Even in the car to the airport yesterday, looking down at my phone, I was like, oh boy.
01:49:43.000 Yeah, but that's just because you're looking at something while you're getting driven.
01:49:46.000 So I can go to space, just don't look at my phone when we're taking off.
01:49:49.000 Yeah, if you look at your phone, I almost threw up in the back of a car once because I was reading.
01:49:55.000 I'm like, oh my god, imagine.
01:49:59.000 You know, I get picked up in a town car and I hurl in the backseat because I'm trying to read.
01:50:05.000 I know.
01:50:06.000 It's so unfortunate.
01:50:07.000 But sometimes you can.
01:50:08.000 Sometimes I look at my phone, no problem.
01:50:09.000 For a little bit.
01:50:10.000 Yeah.
01:50:10.000 The problem is when things get bumpy, your brain gets disoriented and it's like, oh my God, this guy's sick.
01:50:16.000 He's not seeing things right.
01:50:17.000 Let's get rid of all the food because something he ate must have been poison.
01:50:20.000 That's what it is.
01:50:21.000 Oh, really?
01:50:22.000 Yeah, that's what it is.
01:50:23.000 Your body is confused as to why you're looking at things, but everything's bouncing around, but yet you're not going anywhere.
01:50:30.000 You're sitting still.
01:50:32.000 Your body's like, oh, this guy's poisoned.
01:50:33.000 Right.
01:50:34.000 Okay, let's get rid of all the food.
01:50:36.000 Ugh, it's such an awful feeling.
01:50:38.000 Yeah, so your body's like, let's go, everybody out of the pool.
01:50:41.000 So when we were in our spaceship, not looking at something, we probably won't throw up.
01:50:46.000 One day, space travel is going to be something real, where you're going to be able to take a trip, just like you'd fly to New York, you could fly up in space, and it'll be cool.
01:50:57.000 Then, Tom Papa, you and I will do space shows.
01:51:01.000 Oh, that would be the coolest!
01:51:04.000 Imagine if you do a show on an actual spaceship.
01:51:07.000 Imagine if they have a stage set up.
01:51:11.000 Right?
01:51:12.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00
01:51:13.000 The fucking Comedy Store is a Comedy Store spaceship. 0.99
01:51:16.000 And then you gotta live stream it back to Earth. 1.00
01:51:18.000 Yeah, like you rent it out.
01:51:18.000 Like you rent out an event space.
01:51:20.000 You rent out a spaceship and you do like...
01:51:22.000 Like how many people are on a flight normally?
01:51:25.000 300?
01:51:26.000 200?
01:51:27.000 Plenty of people for a show.
01:51:28.000 Oh, for sure.
01:51:29.000 Low ceilings.
01:51:29.000 Yeah.
01:51:31.000 Low ceilings.
01:51:32.000 All we need is good acoustics.
01:51:33.000 Good sound system.
01:51:34.000 Those people in the Southwest are telling jokes every day.
01:51:36.000 All the time.
01:51:36.000 They have songs.
01:51:37.000 Do you see how they're gonna not serve alcohol on Southwest America?
01:51:41.000 Oh, because they've been having brawls lately. 1.00
01:51:42.000 Because people are losing their shit. 1.00
01:51:45.000 What's going on, Tom Papa? 1.00
01:51:46.000 Why is everybody losing their shit? 0.99
01:51:47.000 Joe, I thought maybe we're going to come out of this isolation a little better and a little kinder and a little more grateful. 1.00
01:51:55.000 But I think the majority have just been snapped.
01:51:59.000 Well, I think a lot of people lost so much, it's hard for them to feel normal.
01:52:05.000 You know, so many people lost most of their savings, most of their job.
01:52:08.000 Yeah.
01:52:09.000 I mean, how many people lost their jobs?
01:52:11.000 It's some crazy number of people that are unemployed, right?
01:52:13.000 Right.
01:52:14.000 And imagine if you're in the restaurant business.
01:52:16.000 You worked for 30 years to put together a restaurant.
01:52:18.000 Yeah.
01:52:19.000 And then all of a sudden...
01:52:21.000 You just have no job.
01:52:22.000 I don't know how Fred and David are doing up at Joe Beef, but I always say that my favorite restaurant is in Venice.
01:52:32.000 Oh, yeah?
01:52:33.000 Yeah.
01:52:33.000 Have you ever been to Felix?
01:52:35.000 No.
01:52:36.000 It is sensational.
01:52:37.000 Really?
01:52:38.000 It is as good as a restaurant is.
01:52:40.000 Wow.
01:52:41.000 It's so good.
01:52:42.000 In Venice.
01:52:42.000 Yes.
01:52:43.000 It's Janet Zuccarini and Evan Funke.
01:52:46.000 Janet owns it, and Evan Funke is the head chef.
01:52:49.000 I've had them both on the podcast before.
01:52:50.000 Oh, yeah.
01:52:51.000 Dude, the food there is so good.
01:52:53.000 What did you have?
01:52:54.000 I've had everything.
01:52:55.000 I've eaten there a ton of times, but it's perfect.
01:52:57.000 It is the perfect restaurant.
01:52:59.000 I'm not exaggerating.
01:53:01.000 Why?
01:53:01.000 First of all, handmade pasta.
01:53:03.000 It's sensational and you can watch them make it.
01:53:06.000 They have a pasta making room that's all glass.
01:53:10.000 So you watch like Evan or one of the master chefs there put together this pasta and it's this laborious process of folding it and rolling it and dusting it with flour and rolling it and they just do it over and over again.
01:53:24.000 You feel it in the food when you get it.
01:53:27.000 When you get a place, like the cacio de pepe, when you get a plate of that.
01:53:30.000 That's my dish.
01:53:31.000 Oh, it's so good.
01:53:32.000 There?
01:53:33.000 Dude, you're gonna be in heaven.
01:53:35.000 Really?
01:53:36.000 You gotta go.
01:53:36.000 Really?
01:53:37.000 They're open now.
01:53:38.000 I'm going.
01:53:38.000 I had a steak there.
01:53:39.000 Might be the best fucking steak I've ever had in my life. 0.99
01:53:42.000 Oh my god. 0.99
01:53:44.000 Everything they do is perfect.
01:53:46.000 I mean, it is just...
01:53:47.000 And Evan is just a guy who is one of those head chefs that's just obsessed with doing everything perfect.
01:53:55.000 Oh, my God.
01:53:56.000 And, you know, he's, like, studied in Italy and, you know, and to talk to him about, like, his...
01:54:02.000 There's Evan right there.
01:54:03.000 Oh, wow. 1.00
01:54:04.000 Bad motherfucker, you. 1.00
01:54:05.000 He's so good. 1.00
01:54:06.000 He's such a good chef and such a good person. 0.98
01:54:08.000 I fucking love that guy. 0.95
01:54:10.000 I want to go. 0.99
01:54:10.000 You feel it in the food. 0.99
01:54:12.000 You completely do.
01:54:13.000 I'm telling you, anytime you visit these places, like when I tour around and you go to these bakeries that have been there forever, or that old restaurant that's been there forever, you feel it.
01:54:24.000 It's because of that person's passion.
01:54:26.000 It has everything to do with it.
01:54:27.000 Yeah.
01:54:28.000 And also the deep knowledge of how to cook correctly and a respect for the old world style of cooking. 0.96
01:54:35.000 I mean, he goes to the fucking farmer's market and gets fresh produce and develops the menu based on what's available. 0.98
01:54:44.000 The best. 0.99
01:54:44.000 You know, it's just like, Jesus, you'd eat there and you're like, ah. 0.99
01:54:48.000 I know.
01:54:48.000 I don't want to leave.
01:54:49.000 Yeah, you just wind up drinking too much wine and eating too much food.
01:54:53.000 The best.
01:54:54.000 It's so great. 0.98
01:54:55.000 When a restaurant gets it right like that, and then they are forced to shut down for the longest fucking time. 0.94
01:55:02.000 Well, that's, yeah, I know. 0.90
01:55:03.000 And they were forced to shut the outdoor dining.
01:55:04.000 They developed this whole outdoor dining space.
01:55:07.000 So when I was still living in L.A., you could go there outdoors.
01:55:09.000 And then they shut down the outdoor dining.
01:55:12.000 It's like, why?
01:55:12.000 Why are you saying outdoor dining is bad?
01:55:15.000 Oh, you're saying Venice, California?
01:55:17.000 Yes, Venice, California.
01:55:18.000 Oh, I thought you meant Venice, Venice.
01:55:19.000 No.
01:55:20.000 Oh.
01:55:22.000 It's on Abbott Kitty.
01:55:23.000 Oh, geez.
01:55:23.000 I can go there when I get back.
01:55:25.000 Good luck getting a reservation.
01:55:27.000 Well, I'm going to tell him I'm friends with Joe.
01:55:28.000 Good luck.
01:55:30.000 How do you think I got into Joe Beef?
01:55:34.000 Joe Beef is another one of my favorite restaurants.
01:55:37.000 Yeah.
01:55:37.000 But Felix is...
01:55:38.000 Oh, that's cool.
01:55:39.000 Felix is so good.
01:55:40.000 That's so great.
01:55:41.000 There's restaurants like that that they redefined what food is.
01:55:46.000 Yeah.
01:55:46.000 Because now you realize like, oh, this is basically an art gallery that you can eat.
01:55:50.000 Cacio Pepe is one of the dishes that I've tried to perfect because I try and just work on a couple things and get them as good as I can get them.
01:55:59.000 You know what you should do?
01:56:00.000 You should start making your own pasta.
01:56:02.000 Yeah.
01:56:03.000 Think about it.
01:56:03.000 Because you make your own bread.
01:56:05.000 There's something about pasta that you buy that's fresh, like the way they cook it, where it just has this bite to it that's so satisfying.
01:56:14.000 I know.
01:56:14.000 It's just like there's something to it that's different than a dry pasta.
01:56:19.000 I know.
01:56:19.000 But the dry pasta, it's pretty close.
01:56:23.000 Says the COVID salesman.
01:56:25.000 Look at this guy over here.
01:56:27.000 Jesus.
01:56:27.000 How about Lyme disease?
01:56:28.000 Not bad.
01:56:29.000 Lyme disease makes me comfortable.
01:56:31.000 It's coming from a lab.
01:56:32.000 I said it was bad.
01:56:32.000 Well, I'd like to know the source.
01:56:33.000 I love it.
01:56:33.000 It comes from a lab.
01:56:34.000 It's great.
01:56:35.000 Makes me happy.
01:56:37.000 Plum Island.
01:56:42.000 Like, handmade pasta is better.
01:56:44.000 No, it is better.
01:56:46.000 It's better.
01:56:46.000 It is better.
01:56:47.000 It tastes better.
01:56:48.000 It feels better.
01:56:49.000 I know.
01:56:49.000 You chew it.
01:56:50.000 I took a class in Italy and learned how to make pasta, and I was like, when I get home, I'm going to do this every night.
01:56:57.000 You're already halfway there with the bread.
01:57:00.000 I know.
01:57:00.000 I mean, it seems like it's right up your alley to make your own.
01:57:02.000 My grandmother used to make pasta.
01:57:04.000 Oh, really?
01:57:04.000 Oh, my God.
01:57:05.000 My grandmother made everything.
01:57:07.000 Wow.
01:57:07.000 She made her sauce from tomatoes that grew in the garden.
01:57:10.000 Wow.
01:57:10.000 My grandfather would pick the tomatoes from the garden.
01:57:13.000 My grandmother would stew them. 1.00
01:57:15.000 In Jersey?
01:57:16.000 Oh, yeah.
01:57:16.000 Nice.
01:57:17.000 Make the sauce.
01:57:18.000 The sauce was all from scratch.
01:57:20.000 She would make all the pasta from scratch. 0.89
01:57:22.000 She had a table that was just a pasta-making table in her kitchen. 1.00
01:57:26.000 The best.
01:57:27.000 And she would have the roll-in pin, and she would make lasagna, and oh my god, it was insane.
01:57:34.000 It was insane.
01:57:36.000 My nephews and I, my sister, my sister has this farm in New Jersey.
01:57:41.000 She has a non-profit called City Green where she feeds, grows vegetables and feeds Patterson, Passaic, all of these places and Learning Gardens, all this amazing, amazing non-profit work.
01:57:53.000 And the cool thing is that we get, cooler than helping people, is that we get all these tomatoes in August.
01:58:01.000 And last year we did it for the first time where we cooked down the tomatoes into sauce.
01:58:07.000 We had a giant thing.
01:58:08.000 We got the wooden stirrer and we just hung under the house like real Italians underneath the house all day and just cooked down all and then canned them all. 1.00
01:58:19.000 Oh.
01:58:20.000 Oh, man.
01:58:21.000 Must be so good, right?
01:58:22.000 Joe, it felt like without even...
01:58:25.000 We never saw our grandparents do this, but we know that they did.
01:58:29.000 It felt right that we were doing this, that we were doing this process of taking these plum tomatoes, making them into the sauce, canning it.
01:58:37.000 It was such a religious experience.
01:58:41.000 There's something so satisfying about that, right?
01:58:41.000 Putting in the effort and then getting that reward, like an artisan-created sauce.
01:58:48.000 Which is really just going back to the roots of it.
01:58:50.000 It's just going back to the most simple form of it.
01:58:53.000 Yeah. 0.78
01:58:53.000 And it just takes all that other bullshit away and you're just left with the pure doing and the pure ingredients of it. 0.78
01:58:59.000 Yeah. 0.97
01:59:00.000 Oh, it makes it so worth it.
01:59:02.000 It does.
01:59:02.000 And now we're going to do it again in August.
01:59:04.000 I literally set up the time to travel back with my family just around.
01:59:09.000 When the tomatoes will be done.
01:59:11.000 What is going on with New Jersey tomatoes?
01:59:13.000 Because they've always been known for their tomatoes.
01:59:16.000 They have the New Jersey beefsteak tomatoes.
01:59:18.000 Yeah.
01:59:19.000 And there's like a darkness and a juiciness to those tomatoes.
01:59:23.000 Legendary.
01:59:23.000 Oh.
01:59:25.000 Blueberries and tomatoes.
01:59:27.000 Oh, they have great blueberries, too?
01:59:29.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:59:30.000 But what is going on with the soil?
01:59:32.000 I don't know why that is.
01:59:33.000 I have no idea.
01:59:34.000 I guess it's like anything.
01:59:36.000 It's like, why is wine great from a region?
01:59:38.000 It's a combination of all those things, of the way the wind comes through, the amount of sunlight that it gets, all that stuff.
01:59:44.000 I wonder if it's also like the seeds that they brought over.
01:59:48.000 Yeah, maybe.
01:59:49.000 You know, because you've got to think Jersey was a particularly Italian area.
01:59:52.000 That's where my grandparents settled.
01:59:55.000 Yeah, mine too.
01:59:55.000 A lot of Italians came from Italy straight to Jersey.
01:59:59.000 Yeah.
01:59:59.000 I wonder if they brought seeds with them.
02:00:01.000 I'm sure.
02:00:02.000 Absolutely.
02:00:03.000 Yeah.
02:00:03.000 I bet they weren't here until we showed up.
02:00:05.000 I just found out that someone in my family, like my great-grandfather, lived above Minetta Tavern right next to the Comedy Cellar.
02:00:13.000 Really?
02:00:14.000 Yeah.
02:00:15.000 My mother did a deep dive in the history and put together a book for all of us.
02:00:18.000 Literally, my great-grandfather was in a little apartment, probably with 10 people.
02:00:24.000 Wow.
02:00:25.000 And I'm downstairs performing at the Cellar all this time walking up that street, Minetta Lane.
02:00:31.000 Wow.
02:00:32.000 Yeah, isn't that cool?
02:00:34.000 When Fitzsimmons first moved to New York, he used to have an apartment that was right above that mafia social club.
02:00:43.000 On McDougal?
02:00:44.000 Yeah, that's where he had a place right there.
02:00:47.000 Really? 1.00
02:00:48.000 In the heart of all that shit. 1.00
02:00:49.000 Wow. 1.00
02:00:49.000 Yeah, he said he saw mobsters all the time. 1.00
02:00:52.000 Oh, that was like the 80s, right?
02:00:54.000 Yeah.
02:00:54.000 Well, no, I think when I- Early 90s?
02:00:56.000 Yeah, early 90s was when Fitzsimmons was living there.
02:00:59.000 Yeah, that was prime time, right?
02:01:02.000 That's when Giuliani was going after the mob and all that stuff was happening?
02:01:07.000 Yeah.
02:01:08.000 Yeah, Fitzsimmons lived right in the heart of Little Italy.
02:01:13.000 Oh, man. 0.99
02:01:14.000 What fucking great restaurants down there. 1.00
02:01:16.000 Oh, my God. 1.00
02:01:17.000 Good Lord.
02:01:18.000 It's a shame.
02:01:19.000 It's really so small now.
02:01:21.000 Well, it's also a wreck now because of the pandemic.
02:01:23.000 I mean, who knows how many of them will never come back.
02:01:26.000 Yeah, but even before that, it used to be that whole area, and it was down to Mott Street and a couple little ancillary.
02:01:35.000 Giandusa is the pizza place there.
02:01:37.000 That one's doing really well.
02:01:38.000 That's a good spot.
02:01:40.000 Well, pizza's a good thing to take out.
02:01:42.000 The thing about a lot of the restaurants that have to-go food, it makes sense to order pizza to go.
02:01:47.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:01:48.000 When was the last time you were back in New York?
02:01:50.000 Last week.
02:01:51.000 Oh, what'd you do?
02:01:52.000 Two weeks ago.
02:01:52.000 It was so great.
02:01:53.000 What'd you do?
02:01:54.000 Stand-up.
02:01:55.000 No, which place?
02:01:56.000 The Cellar.
02:01:57.000 And I did my radio show.
02:01:59.000 I have the SiriusXM Come to Papa show, which is like an old variety radio show, like with sketches and comedy and music and stuff.
02:02:06.000 And I've been doing it forever.
02:02:08.000 And I always do it at the Village Underground there as part of the Cellar.
02:02:12.000 Oh, you do like a live version?
02:02:14.000 A live version, yeah.
02:02:15.000 And I went to do it, just to do it, you know, like we were able to.
02:02:20.000 And like half capacity, probably a little more.
02:02:24.000 It felt great.
02:02:25.000 But literally the day I landed was when the CDC said, we don't need masks anymore.
02:02:30.000 So it was popping.
02:02:32.000 I stayed downtown and it was just, the sun was shining.
02:02:36.000 People were out.
02:02:37.000 They were just drinking and it just, you felt like this joy.
02:02:42.000 Yeah.
02:02:43.000 Oh my God.
02:02:43.000 Did you see that new wild park that New York City's created called the Island?
02:02:48.000 No.
02:02:48.000 It's really wild.
02:02:49.000 It's like a man-made park.
02:02:51.000 Where?
02:02:52.000 I think it's somewhere near one of the harbors, but it's this wild thing where it's on a platform.
02:03:02.000 You've got to see it to see what it is.
02:03:05.000 It's really strange.
02:03:07.000 Oh, wow.
02:03:08.000 Like you would imagine if you were on a spaceship and they created a park.
02:03:12.000 Uh-huh.
02:03:13.000 Like Elysium.
02:03:14.000 This is the park inside the spaceship.
02:03:16.000 Right, right, right.
02:03:16.000 This giant mothership traveling with all the population through the galaxy.
02:03:21.000 Wow, that's so cool.
02:03:22.000 Yeah.
02:03:24.000 It's weird looking.
02:03:25.000 It's weird.
02:03:25.000 New York is weird, man.
02:03:26.000 I mean, the skyline from New Jersey is completely different.
02:03:31.000 Look at that.
02:03:33.000 Look at that.
02:03:34.000 Oh, wow.
02:03:35.000 Look at that.
02:03:35.000 What is it doing that?
02:03:36.000 It's like concrete mushrooms.
02:03:38.000 Yeah, so that's what it looks like.
02:03:40.000 So it's a fake island.
02:03:42.000 It's like a skate park.
02:03:43.000 Right.
02:03:43.000 It's suspended, though, in the water.
02:03:46.000 So the entire thing is made in the water.
02:03:49.000 And it varies.
02:03:51.000 The levels vary.
02:03:53.000 See how it's got different...
02:03:54.000 It's got hills.
02:03:54.000 Go back to it, please.
02:03:56.000 You see how it's all...
02:03:57.000 Yeah.
02:03:58.000 They made artificial varying heights of the ground.
02:04:03.000 They made it look like a real...
02:04:05.000 Park.
02:04:05.000 It's amazing.
02:04:06.000 And if you look how small the people are there, you've got to get a sense.
02:04:09.000 Yeah, it's massive.
02:04:11.000 That is cool.
02:04:12.000 And that's open now?
02:04:13.000 Yeah, it just opened.
02:04:14.000 The city has changed so much so quickly.
02:04:18.000 Between the new buildings that went up, the skyline's completely different.
02:04:23.000 Looking from New Jersey, there's a whole other city on the west side.
02:04:28.000 And then when Bloomberg was in, they took away all of these access roads for cars.
02:04:34.000 They don't want cars on this island at all.
02:04:37.000 Which island?
02:04:38.000 Manhattan.
02:04:40.000 You don't want cars in New York City?
02:04:41.000 What do you mean?
02:04:42.000 Dude, there's parts of Broadway that you can't drive on any longer.
02:04:46.000 Oh, really?
02:04:46.000 Yeah.
02:04:47.000 And that was before COVID. And now with COVID, there's all these outdoor dining places which they may keep.
02:04:53.000 There's no parking spaces.
02:04:55.000 The number of cars has gone down drastically.
02:04:59.000 Interesting.
02:04:59.000 Yeah, it's that kind of thing.
02:05:01.000 It's like they're trying to eco it up.
02:05:04.000 It's like a future city in a way.
02:05:06.000 Who owns the spot in front of a restaurant?
02:05:08.000 Is that public for the sidewalk?
02:05:10.000 Because it used to be, but then it stopped being the public for the sidewalk.
02:05:14.000 Then it became the restaurants because the restaurant needed space to stay open.
02:05:17.000 They made accommodations.
02:05:18.000 But now that things are going to go back to where you can eat indoors.
02:05:22.000 Yeah, I don't know if they're going to keep those spaces or not.
02:05:25.000 They did that outside in front of the stand, too, didn't they?
02:05:27.000 Didn't they have shows outside on the street?
02:05:30.000 I don't know about the shows part.
02:05:32.000 How do you get people to pay tickets for that when you can just sit there just a few feet back?
02:05:37.000 You give them a soda.
02:05:38.000 I think they did that.
02:05:40.000 I think the stand did that.
02:05:41.000 Oh, that's funny.
02:05:42.000 Because I'm pretty sure Ari sent me a picture of someone on stage. 1.00
02:05:47.000 Uh-huh.
02:05:48.000 Yeah.
02:05:49.000 Yeah, it's like they had this set up outside.
02:05:52.000 Yeah.
02:05:53.000 Right.
02:05:53.000 Yeah, like that.
02:05:54.000 Look at that.
02:05:54.000 Oh, and like looking into the stand.
02:05:56.000 Oh, that's funny.
02:05:58.000 And the stage is right there.
02:06:00.000 Kind of wild, right?
02:06:01.000 Yeah.
02:06:01.000 But this is the thing.
02:06:03.000 It's like people find a way.
02:06:05.000 I know.
02:06:06.000 They use ingenuity.
02:06:08.000 I know.
02:06:08.000 They find a way to do it.
02:06:10.000 The store, but that store didn't have fucking shows. 0.98
02:06:12.000 That just was linked because it's a comedy outside. 0.99
02:06:15.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00
02:06:15.000 They fucked us there. 1.00
02:06:15.000 That looks like the La Jolla one, yeah. 1.00
02:06:17.000 They fucked us there. 0.99
02:06:18.000 I know. 0.99
02:06:20.000 But the comedy store in the back parking lot, they're like, no, you don't have a license to do this.
02:06:24.000 Yeah, that seemed crazy.
02:06:25.000 It seemed like the perfect spot.
02:06:27.000 Over-regulation.
02:06:28.000 Yeah.
02:06:29.000 It's doomed California from, you know, from the beginning of time.
02:06:32.000 I know.
02:06:33.000 California is one of the most over-regulated cities or states.
02:06:35.000 It really is, I know.
02:06:37.000 It's terrible.
02:06:37.000 I know.
02:06:38.000 I know.
02:06:39.000 It's so beautiful, though.
02:06:41.000 Some parts of it.
02:06:42.000 There's a little view of the...
02:06:43.000 Venice Beach, not so much.
02:06:44.000 The street.
02:06:45.000 Yeah.
02:06:46.000 Yeah, you could just stand there for sure.
02:06:48.000 Yeah, you totally could just be like, hey, I'm going to watch the show from over here.
02:06:51.000 Yeah.
02:06:51.000 So now there's all of these, it feels like, I don't know, kind of like Venice, Italy in a way.
02:06:58.000 It's like there's all these outdoor places for seating and it'll be interesting to see, you know, the weather's not great there for most of the year, so maybe it will go away.
02:07:07.000 Tim Dillon told me the crime's off the hook.
02:07:08.000 He said it's crazy.
02:07:09.000 He said he was walking through Times Square and he said he felt like a victim.
02:07:13.000 Oh, really?
02:07:13.000 Yeah.
02:07:14.000 He said it felt remarkably different.
02:07:16.000 There's a big difference between Midtown and Downtown.
02:07:19.000 Downtown, like in the village, bustling, young people, it felt like that was returned to normal, somewhat normal.
02:07:29.000 Go to Midtown and there's nobody there because they're still waiting on the return of the tourists and the return of the business people.
02:07:37.000 The offices aren't open.
02:07:39.000 That's crazy, right?
02:07:40.000 Until you tilt those numbers and bring all those people back...
02:07:44.000 What you're left with are the people that are roaming the streets, and it is dicey.
02:07:49.000 And there's some concern from a lot of people that that's never going to come back, because a lot of people like working remotely.
02:07:53.000 I know.
02:07:54.000 It's going to be interesting.
02:07:55.000 I don't know.
02:07:55.000 I mean, people thrive being around other people, though.
02:07:59.000 There's a difference.
02:08:01.000 Yeah, for sure.
02:08:02.000 It's a big difference.
02:08:03.000 I wonder where you're more productive.
02:08:08.000 Together, in an office, with people watching you.
02:08:11.000 In your home.
02:08:12.000 Your home's set up for fun and relaxation. 0.82
02:08:16.000 How many guys got caught jerking off to Zoom? 0.99
02:08:20.000 On Zoom calls, like, didn't know that their camera was still on and they pulled their dicks out. 0.99
02:08:25.000 Tubin, the Jeffrey Tubin guy.
02:08:27.000 I mean, you can't wait until you're done with this?
02:08:30.000 I know, men.
02:08:32.000 It's all men, right? 1.00
02:08:33.000 It's addiction.
02:08:34.000 It's pornography addiction.
02:08:36.000 Right.
02:08:36.000 That's what it is.
02:08:37.000 Yeah.
02:08:38.000 Yeah.
02:08:38.000 Pornography addiction is, it's so, not only is it so real, it's also, it's so taboo Because for whatever reason, there's shame in pleasuring yourself, and then there's shame in being caught pleasuring yourself, which must have been devastating for him.
02:08:55.000 Brutal.
02:08:56.000 And he's a legitimate journalist.
02:08:57.000 He's a really good journalist.
02:08:58.000 And fired for a mistake like that.
02:09:01.000 God.
02:09:02.000 And everyone's going to remember him for that one mistake.
02:09:05.000 I know.
02:09:05.000 It's become like a verb.
02:09:07.000 I got caught tubing.
02:09:08.000 Oh, really?
02:09:09.000 Yeah.
02:09:10.000 Don't tubing it.
02:09:11.000 But multiple people...
02:09:13.000 It's terrible.
02:09:13.000 I love that guy.
02:09:14.000 He's an interesting guy to listen to.
02:09:16.000 He's just coming into all those political times.
02:09:20.000 How come you can't make a mistake?
02:09:24.000 I know.
02:09:25.000 What is that?
02:09:26.000 Why are you firing the guy?
02:09:27.000 Do you think he's evil?
02:09:28.000 Is that why he beat off?
02:09:29.000 Who got hurt?
02:09:30.000 Yeah, he did.
02:09:31.000 Who got hurt?
02:09:33.000 His feelings.
02:09:34.000 Well, his feelings.
02:09:35.000 Yeah, but that's all I'm saying.
02:09:36.000 That's it.
02:09:37.000 Other than that, no one got hurt.
02:09:38.000 I mean, maybe some people saw it and laughed.
02:09:40.000 Yeah, but the reality of the rest of that experience is that it's just a guy beating off.
02:09:46.000 Just made a mistake.
02:09:47.000 And by the way, guys are doing that all across the country all day long.
02:09:51.000 And this is the thing you find out when you let a guy work from home.
02:09:55.000 Some people just can't, they can't resist that temptation.
02:09:58.000 That's right.
02:09:59.000 That's why we got to get back in the office.
02:10:01.000 Click on that Pornhub tab.
02:10:04.000 Any free time, guys are gonna fill up with something bad.
02:10:09.000 Well, Louis C.K. told me that that was one of the ways that he avoided any kind of distractions on his writing laptop.
02:10:18.000 He's like, his writing laptop literally can't connect to the internet.
02:10:22.000 Uh-huh.
02:10:23.000 He doesn't allow it to connect to the internet.
02:10:26.000 So that's how he keeps from looking at porn, keeps from staring at car videos, getting distracted.
02:10:32.000 He only writes on that.
02:10:35.000 Smart.
02:10:37.000 Yeah, I never downloaded iTunes or any of that stuff onto my laptop that I write with.
02:10:43.000 But then it got to...
02:10:45.000 There was a tool that I needed to use to email and do whatever stuff. 0.90
02:10:52.000 Next thing you know, you're watching porn.
02:10:57.000 Yeah, it's so tempting to just watch YouTube videos, to just Google things, you know, just see what's going on in the world.
02:11:06.000 You gotta stop yourself.
02:11:07.000 What's happening in the news.
02:11:08.000 Picking up your phone, but more than the computer for me, like I can stay off of that stuff pretty easily, but having the phone next to me is the problem.
02:11:17.000 Picking that up and just going to check Instagram, and then you just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
02:11:22.000 That thing is, I don't like. 0.81
02:11:25.000 Really, it's such a time suck.
02:11:27.000 It's a time suck, and then if you start reading comments and reading people's opinions about you, and then you get weirded out.
02:11:35.000 I stopped going to the Twitters.
02:11:39.000 I never read Twitter anymore for years.
02:11:43.000 Just stopped going to the feed for it. 1.00
02:11:45.000 It's a bunch of mentally unhealthy people throwing shit at each other. 0.99
02:11:48.000 It was so healthy to not do it. 0.99
02:11:51.000 When we were talking earlier about the people hating on people performing, I literally did not see it.
02:11:57.000 I'm not making it up.
02:11:58.000 I literally did not know it was happening until it was pointed out.
02:12:02.000 But Instagram, because it's a little more joyous, I think, seeing people's faces and seeing your friends performing and all that kind of stuff, I will scroll through that.
02:12:13.000 Yeah, Instagram's definitely more interesting.
02:12:15.000 Yeah.
02:12:15.000 I thought it was dumb at first, because I thought, what, it's just pictures?
02:12:19.000 I want to see pictures?
02:12:20.000 Right.
02:12:20.000 I can see pictures anyway.
02:12:21.000 But then I realized, like, pictures with captions is actually kind of more indicative of, like, a person's thoughts than just the caption itself.
02:12:31.000 Right, right.
02:12:33.000 Yeah.
02:12:33.000 Okay, I get it.
02:12:34.000 I get it.
02:12:34.000 You had a funny one today with that artist thing.
02:12:37.000 How crazy is that?
02:12:39.000 I sold a sculpture for, I think it was like $18,000.
02:12:45.000 An invisible sculpture.
02:12:46.000 Yeah, it's just nothing.
02:12:47.000 It's air.
02:12:48.000 You have to imagine what the sculpture is.
02:12:52.000 So when you buy it, do you put it in your car?
02:12:54.000 You have to get a car?
02:12:55.000 Well, here's the thing.
02:12:56.000 How can you stop him from selling the exact same one to everybody?
02:13:02.000 It's invisible. 1.00
02:13:03.000 But the fact that it was an auction, that someone was so dumb. 0.99
02:13:07.000 How much did they pay? 0.99
02:13:08.000 Was it 18?
02:13:08.000 18 grand.
02:13:09.000 When I looked it up, though, to try to find the article about it, to be like, this can't be real, is it?
02:13:14.000 I've stumbled across an opinion piece about it on the advertising world saying that this happens in the advertising world all the time.
02:13:20.000 Like, people will pay a bunch of money, even at an auction type thing, for their ad to go out to X amount of viewers, they think, on a blog or a popular video or whatever.
02:13:32.000 Right.
02:13:33.000 And they'll see results that show...
02:13:36.000 This was viewed X amount of times, but they never know that that's an actual human.
02:13:40.000 They're being sold essentially the same thing as what this guy's article was sort of saying.
02:13:46.000 And I know that that's true, but I don't know that the artist is making a point on the advertising world.
02:13:52.000 He's just a scam artist. 0.99
02:13:55.000 Just a dirty, LACMA-style scam artist. 1.00
02:13:59.000 The LA County Museum of Arts. 0.98
02:14:01.000 You know that?
02:14:02.000 You ever go to LACMA? Yes.
02:14:04.000 You want to hurt somebody.
02:14:05.000 When you go there, you're like, what is this?
02:14:07.000 What are you doing?
02:14:09.000 When you see what they're calling art?
02:14:11.000 Yeah, one of them was a plexiglass box that was just sitting on the ground.
02:14:17.000 And I was just joking around.
02:14:19.000 And I said, yeah, that plexiglass, that's the art.
02:14:22.000 That's the whole thing.
02:14:22.000 It's like amazing.
02:14:23.000 Look what they did there.
02:14:24.000 I was joking.
02:14:25.000 And this woman said, actually, that is the art piece.
02:14:28.000 Yeah.
02:14:29.000 What are you saying?
02:14:31.000 That's not art.
02:14:32.000 It's a piece of plastic.
02:14:34.000 You don't get it.
02:14:35.000 That's what the problem is.
02:14:36.000 You don't get it.
02:14:37.000 You're not sophisticated in your taste of art.
02:14:39.000 Right.
02:14:40.000 But modern art, like one of the art pieces was like someone throwing a ball and then the other person catching it.
02:14:46.000 Just playing a loop of people throwing balls at each other. 0.99
02:14:49.000 I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? 1.00
02:14:51.000 I know. 0.99
02:14:52.000 The art world is very... 0.98
02:14:54.000 But not the regular art world, like art art, like people's paintings and interesting shit. 0.72
02:14:59.000 I love that stuff. 0.85
02:15:00.000 Sure.
02:15:00.000 I'm fascinated by that.
02:15:02.000 But it's these scam artists that sell invisible sculptures. 1.00
02:15:05.000 Like, you can eat shit, you fuck. 1.00
02:15:08.000 What do you got there? 1.00
02:15:09.000 This is the piece, I guess, on the guy's, the artist's Instagram.
02:15:12.000 Well, there's no piece.
02:15:13.000 It's a video playing.
02:15:14.000 Oh, it's a video of empty space?
02:15:16.000 It shows, yeah, there's like a chalk outline on the street.
02:15:19.000 There it is.
02:15:20.000 That's the piece.
02:15:21.000 That's the piece.
02:15:22.000 Okay.
02:15:22.000 The sculpture I installed here.
02:15:23.000 That's the sculpture.
02:15:24.000 Yeah. 1.00
02:15:25.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00
02:15:25.000 An empty lot. 1.00
02:15:26.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00
02:15:26.000 What about the person who bought it, though? 1.00
02:15:28.000 Like, who wanted to buy it? 0.77
02:15:29.000 Probably some crazy dude who has too much money. 0.51
02:15:32.000 Some oil baron. 0.97
02:15:35.000 I'll buy it! 1.00
02:15:36.000 Fuck you, I win the auction! 1.00
02:15:37.000 He's probably doing coke and just doing random auctions all day long. 1.00
02:15:42.000 We got 15, 15, 15, going 16, going 16, 16, 18!
02:15:47.000 Sold!
02:15:48.000 Johnny Fat Cigar.
02:15:50.000 Did you ever see that movie Uncut Gems?
02:15:53.000 Parts of it.
02:15:54.000 Half of it.
02:15:56.000 You didn't see the whole thing?
02:15:57.000 No, I got distracted and I never went back to it. 0.99
02:15:59.000 It's a fucking amazing movie. 0.99
02:16:00.000 It was fun. 0.99
02:16:01.000 In it, there's a scam auction where he's got a buddy bidding for something to try to raise up the price. 0.76
02:16:08.000 Then he fucks up and wins.
02:16:10.000 Oh, really? 0.99
02:16:11.000 Spoiler alert.
02:16:12.000 How great was that movie?
02:16:14.000 It was frantic.
02:16:16.000 As a person who really likes the NBA and is a little bit into gambling, I go, it's good.
02:16:22.000 It's fun. 0.99
02:16:23.000 But they've built up some fucking drama that doesn't exist and can't exist. 0.98
02:16:27.000 Which kind of drama? 0.99
02:16:28.000 The bet he makes is a bet you cannot make.
02:16:30.000 Oh.
02:16:32.000 Really?
02:16:32.000 That seems like a big oversight.
02:16:34.000 And at the end, he sends his girlfriend on an Uber Blade.
02:16:37.000 That didn't exist until like three years ago.
02:16:39.000 Uber Blade?
02:16:40.000 What's a Uber Blade?
02:16:41.000 The helicopter thing.
02:16:42.000 Oh, the helicopter Ubered to JFK? He sends her to a casino that doesn't have a sports book. 0.97
02:16:47.000 So like, there's a couple, but I'm like, sounds like a little nitpicky.
02:16:52.000 A little nitpicky, right?
02:16:53.000 Hey, hey.
02:16:53.000 Sounds like a little.
02:16:54.000 Sometimes it takes you out of the movie, though, when you're watching.
02:16:56.000 You're like, you can't even make this bet.
02:16:58.000 That was that Teddy Bergeron joke about the person that goes to the theater and watches Peter Pan.
02:17:03.000 He's on a wire!
02:17:04.000 He's on a wire!
02:17:05.000 There's no Santa Claus and he's on a wire.
02:17:09.000 What a great joke.
02:17:11.000 When I was an open miker, I did my very first open mic night.
02:17:16.000 Jonathan Katz was the host.
02:17:17.000 Wow.
02:17:18.000 And, you know, it was a bunch of scrubs like me.
02:17:20.000 And then Teddy Bergeron came on and did a set.
02:17:22.000 Wow.
02:17:23.000 Oh, my God.
02:17:23.000 It made you just want to quit right there and then.
02:17:26.000 Oh, God.
02:17:26.000 I was like, I'll never be as funny as that guy.
02:17:28.000 I did a lot of gigs with him, too.
02:17:29.000 Really?
02:17:30.000 Oh, yeah.
02:17:30.000 I saw him when he came through the cellar probably in, like, 98, 99. Yeah.
02:17:37.000 Yeah.
02:17:37.000 He was a little older, and he came through, and it was just that weird space.
02:17:44.000 You're in this little thing, and he was so different from everybody else, age-wise and performance-wise.
02:17:48.000 But there were just these moments that were just like...
02:17:51.000 It was like watching a lion, in a way.
02:17:55.000 He was kind of like...
02:17:56.000 Finding his way, and then you would see it.
02:17:58.000 You know what I mean?
02:18:00.000 That's where I got that joke from.
02:18:03.000 He's on a wire.
02:18:04.000 It would just all of a sudden explode.
02:18:05.000 He's on a wire!
02:18:07.000 Yeah.
02:18:07.000 That was his style.
02:18:09.000 He was such a brilliant guy, like a really intelligent guy.
02:18:13.000 Yeah.
02:18:13.000 And his comedy was so polished, so smooth.
02:18:16.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:18:17.000 That's where you get to see the different styles of delivery that different people have.
02:18:22.000 Yeah.
02:18:23.000 No.
02:18:24.000 I mean, he was...
02:18:25.000 I always just went down a rabbit hole of Bernie Mac the other day.
02:18:30.000 Oh my god.
02:18:31.000 God! 1.00
02:18:32.000 He was a monster. 1.00
02:18:33.000 A monster. 0.99
02:18:34.000 The passion. 1.00
02:18:35.000 When he went on stage at Def Jam, he was like, I ain't afraid of you motherfuckers. 0.99
02:18:39.000 The best. 0.99
02:18:40.000 The best.
02:18:41.000 Everyone's bombing before him and the audience is rough. 1.00
02:18:45.000 I ain't afraid of you motherfuckers. 1.00
02:18:46.000 Boom! 1.00
02:18:47.000 When he went out there like that, everybody was like, oh, you feel the energy shift in the room.
02:18:52.000 He was energy.
02:18:53.000 The belief.
02:18:55.000 That was the real lesson.
02:18:57.000 You always have to relearn these lessons all the time, right?
02:19:00.000 And just that he was not up there being passive.
02:19:04.000 He was letting you know that what he was talking about right now is the most important thing in the world.
02:19:10.000 Yep.
02:19:11.000 That thing.
02:19:12.000 Yep.
02:19:12.000 Yep.
02:19:13.000 Such a powerful thing.
02:19:14.000 Preacher confidence.
02:19:15.000 Yes.
02:19:16.000 Yeah, like almost like he's talking about a religious thing.
02:19:18.000 Yeah.
02:19:18.000 Yeah.
02:19:19.000 When people have that kind of like Sam Kinison style delivery, that's just fucking dynamic, powerful delivery. 0.91
02:19:25.000 It's just so gripping. 0.89
02:19:29.000 It's so catchy.
02:19:30.000 Yeah.
02:19:32.000 It's like, you've got to...
02:19:34.000 I think there was a Kinnison quote, actually. 0.99
02:19:37.000 It was like, how can you expect the audience to give a shit if you don't? 0.99
02:19:41.000 Right. 0.99
02:19:42.000 Was that Hicks or Kinnison?
02:19:44.000 I think it was Kinnison.
02:19:46.000 Maybe him and Hicks shared...
02:19:48.000 I mean, they hung around together a lot.
02:19:50.000 I mean, it's something we should all be saying over and over again.
02:19:54.000 But you do see comics sometimes get up there and be like, meh.
02:19:57.000 And it's like, well, yeah.
02:19:59.000 What else?
02:20:00.000 What else?
02:20:01.000 What else is going on?
02:20:03.000 One of the things that taught me, that I learned rather from Boston, is people's attention spans are very precious.
02:20:11.000 You have to pay attention to people's attention spans.
02:20:13.000 You have to appreciate it.
02:20:14.000 Because in Boston, they don't have a lot of tolerance for meandering.
02:20:20.000 And all the comedians on the shows, like if you're dealing with a guy like a Lenny Clark or a Steve Sweeney, they're all rapid fire, real tight acts, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, punchlines coming at you.
02:20:31.000 Guns blazing.
02:20:34.000 Growing up in a place like that, you develop this sort of Bill Burr style, the Patrice O'Neill style.
02:20:40.000 There's a lot of guys that come.
02:20:42.000 Those guys are two Boston guys.
02:20:43.000 Nick DiPaolo.
02:20:46.000 Louis C.K. So many guys from that area.
02:20:49.000 Bobcat.
02:20:50.000 So many guys from that environment.
02:20:53.000 Then you get Stephen Wright and Jonathan Katz.
02:20:57.000 Yeah, very different.
02:20:59.000 Stephen Wright's the most different, right?
02:21:01.000 The most different.
02:21:02.000 But, in his own way, he's bringing that belief, that passion, that thing.
02:21:09.000 His cadence is so much slower than Bernie Mac.
02:21:14.000 But there's a slow burn to the intensity.
02:21:17.000 Yes.
02:21:18.000 Yeah, it's a slow burn.
02:21:19.000 Yeah.
02:21:20.000 But there is an intensity.
02:21:21.000 Maybe that's the key word.
02:21:23.000 I always really admired people like him because his style is all non sequiturs like you can't feed off of something like you and I we can talk about something like say we talk about coffee we can just kind of go on about coffee and then lead it into wine and lead it into this and then you know there's so many different places you can take an idea but when you're just doing non sequiturs You know,
02:21:45.000 I got a job at a place that makes fire hydrants.
02:21:49.000 You couldn't park anywhere near the joint.
02:21:51.000 Right.
02:21:52.000 That kind of...
02:21:53.000 That's your thing.
02:21:54.000 That's your mind.
02:21:55.000 Fire hydrant factory. 1.00
02:21:56.000 I fucked up. 1.00
02:21:56.000 Yeah. 1.00
02:21:59.000 Stephen Wright would do all non sequiturs.
02:22:01.000 Right.
02:22:02.000 Which is kind of crazy.
02:22:03.000 Kind of crazy.
02:22:03.000 Who do we know who does that today?
02:22:05.000 Anthony.
02:22:06.000 Jesselnik.
02:22:07.000 Yeah.
02:22:07.000 Yeah, but kind of.
02:22:09.000 But he kind of...
02:22:11.000 He stays in it.
02:22:12.000 It's all lines.
02:22:13.000 Yeah.
02:22:14.000 Right?
02:22:14.000 It's all jokes.
02:22:15.000 But it's always like dark, real dark stuff.
02:22:19.000 Yeah, he has a twist on it, but it's still like he's not going to...
02:22:23.000 I've never seen Anthony just kind of like break off and just start...
02:22:27.000 No, no, no.
02:22:29.000 He doesn't riff.
02:22:29.000 Yeah.
02:22:30.000 Yeah.
02:22:31.000 But who else does completely non-related?
02:22:34.000 Mitch Hedberg did that.
02:22:35.000 Mitch Hedberg was complete non-sequiturs.
02:22:37.000 Yeah.
02:22:38.000 I always think, how do they remember whether they told that joke yet?
02:22:41.000 I know.
02:22:42.000 Because every joke is like 30 seconds, and you have 150 of them.
02:22:46.000 How do you remember?
02:22:47.000 I know.
02:22:48.000 Yeah, it's a whole different thing.
02:22:50.000 Do you ever do three shows and you can't remember whether or not you've done that joke?
02:22:56.000 Yeah.
02:22:57.000 That's terrifying.
02:22:58.000 Terrifying.
02:22:59.000 Three shows are weird.
02:23:00.000 That's the weirdest.
02:23:01.000 That was like the goal was to never do three shows in a night.
02:23:06.000 Yeah.
02:23:06.000 That was brutal.
02:23:08.000 Yeah.
02:23:08.000 No one wanted to be at that last show.
02:23:10.000 The audience didn't want to be there.
02:23:12.000 They were tired and drunk.
02:23:13.000 You were tired. 1.00
02:23:15.000 They fucked up and didn't get tickets for the 10 o'clock. 0.99
02:23:18.000 Yeah, it was terrible. 1.00
02:23:20.000 Midnight show.
02:23:21.000 So the midnight show, by the way, you don't go on stage until like 1240. Right, exactly.
02:23:25.000 It's almost 1 o'clock in the morning and you're getting on stage.
02:23:28.000 A nightmare. 1.00
02:23:28.000 Show us your tits! 1.00
02:23:30.000 A nightmare. 1.00
02:23:31.000 Okay.
02:23:33.000 I'm here to make it.
02:23:34.000 Oh, the worst.
02:23:36.000 Just being in those lion dens.
02:23:38.000 That's why you had to go fast.
02:23:40.000 That's why you needed to keep going.
02:23:42.000 You needed to hammer.
02:23:43.000 Well, those late night shows on Friday night, too.
02:23:46.000 Those are the worst.
02:23:48.000 Because the people worked all day.
02:23:50.000 They worked all day.
02:23:51.000 They worked all week.
02:23:52.000 They got to the last day of the week.
02:23:54.000 They've been up since 6 in the morning.
02:23:56.000 And then they got drunken due to whatever they did.
02:23:59.000 Ate, drank, got high.
02:24:01.000 Before your show.
02:24:02.000 Yep.
02:24:03.000 Nightmare.
02:24:04.000 A whole chicken.
02:24:05.000 And everyone did those shows for a long time.
02:24:07.000 I did them forever.
02:24:09.000 They don't exist anymore, I don't think.
02:24:10.000 Some places still have them.
02:24:11.000 Some places still do a midnight show.
02:24:14.000 Not many.
02:24:16.000 It's not good.
02:24:17.000 It's only good for the guys selling the booze.
02:24:19.000 I forget who the last person asked me if they should do a midnight show.
02:24:22.000 And I said, well, I mean, look, it's money.
02:24:24.000 If you need the money, do it. 0.99
02:24:26.000 But I fucking hate those. 0.98
02:24:27.000 I don't think they're ever worth doing. 1.00
02:24:29.000 The worst.
02:24:29.000 And so they said, I'm going to do it.
02:24:31.000 And then they text me the next day.
02:24:32.000 You were right. 1.00
02:24:33.000 Fucking terrible. 0.99
02:24:34.000 I'm like, yeah, it's like you're dealing with the most tired, most drunk people. 0.99
02:24:39.000 Yeah, you just want to send people home at that hour. 0.99
02:24:42.000 That said, every now and then you'll have a midnight show and it's fucking fire. 0.98
02:24:46.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:24:47.000 Every now and then.
02:24:48.000 Every now and then you'll have a late night show.
02:24:50.000 Yeah. 0.96
02:24:50.000 Some of those late night shows at the store are fucking incredible. 0.96
02:24:53.000 Yeah. 0.98
02:24:54.000 You never know.
02:24:54.000 Can't go that long.
02:24:56.000 No.
02:24:56.000 You can't go that long.
02:24:57.000 No, you can't drag it out.
02:24:58.000 You have to be conscious of how much they've got left in the tank, too.
02:25:02.000 Yeah.
02:25:03.000 You know, it's going to be...
02:25:04.000 That's why when I see those guys, like when Dane and Chappelle and all those guys were doing like five-hour sets, they were like breaking the Guinness Book of World Records.
02:25:13.000 I know.
02:25:14.000 I think Dane broke the record, but I think somebody broke it and went like 24 hours on stage.
02:25:18.000 Right.
02:25:20.000 I wonder if they peed.
02:25:21.000 Yeah, good question.
02:25:23.000 I bet there was pee breaks.
02:25:24.000 Maybe have a water jug.
02:25:25.000 Just turn.
02:25:27.000 Like a trucker.
02:25:29.000 Yeah, like a large gallon, 40 hours and eight minutes.
02:25:33.000 For stand-up?
02:25:34.000 Mm-hmm.
02:25:35.000 When was this?
02:25:35.000 April 30th, 2013, United States.
02:25:39.000 How much of that is real comedy?
02:25:41.000 A guy named the Midnight Swinger, David Scott, at the Diamond Joke Casino in Dubuque, Iowa.
02:25:47.000 His name is The Midnight Swinger.
02:25:49.000 Go for it.
02:25:50.000 And he was on stage for 40 hours.
02:25:51.000 Let me see what he looks like.
02:25:53.000 Let me see what he looks like.
02:25:55.000 Wow.
02:25:55.000 Yeah.
02:25:56.000 I like his tie.
02:25:57.000 He looks like he's got energy.
02:25:59.000 He looks like he might be funny.
02:26:01.000 You know what I'm saying?
02:26:02.000 Yeah, definitely.
02:26:02.000 So he holds the world record.
02:26:04.000 Doesn't have any information about it.
02:26:06.000 I was going to look that up next.
02:26:07.000 Well, Google his name.
02:26:09.000 David Scott.
02:26:10.000 By an individual.
02:26:11.000 I'm sure he has a website.
02:26:12.000 Yeah.
02:26:14.000 I'm sure he's got a different David Scott.
02:26:16.000 It's a congressman.
02:26:17.000 Comedy.
02:26:19.000 Mr. Showtime.
02:26:24.000 It's like you want to see his set.
02:26:26.000 I think he's wearing mascara.
02:26:29.000 What's he got going on?
02:26:30.000 Is it the same guy?
02:26:31.000 I don't know.
02:26:31.000 I don't think it's the same guy.
02:26:33.000 Is it?
02:26:34.000 Maybe.
02:26:35.000 He's got a crazy haircut.
02:26:36.000 That looks like an older Tim Minchin.
02:26:38.000 That looks like one of my mom's friends.
02:26:46.000 Yeah, you don't...
02:26:47.000 Does it seem like the same guy?
02:26:49.000 It doesn't, though, does it?
02:26:50.000 Just with different hair.
02:26:51.000 Oh, yeah.
02:26:52.000 It's just a different look.
02:26:53.000 I mean, that was...
02:26:54.000 So that picture's 2013. It's eight years later.
02:26:56.000 You could have long hair now.
02:26:57.000 I have long hair.
02:26:58.000 And he's still cranking.
02:27:00.000 Could be his COVID hair.
02:27:01.000 Yeah, maybe.
02:27:04.000 Yeah, but how much of that is comedy at that point?
02:27:06.000 You're just kind of standing up.
02:27:07.000 You're just in a place.
02:27:08.000 He's got the world record.
02:27:09.000 Big news.
02:27:10.000 Must watch.
02:27:11.000 Go back.
02:27:12.000 He just happened to be in a comedy club.
02:27:15.000 Go back?
02:27:15.000 I can't.
02:27:16.000 You can't?
02:27:17.000 Oh.
02:27:18.000 It's like Facebook.
02:27:20.000 Wacky Facebook interface.
02:27:22.000 You wackadoo. 0.98
02:27:24.000 But it was cool being at the cellar again.
02:27:26.000 They were cranking out shows.
02:27:27.000 All the comics were there.
02:27:29.000 They were doing vax shows.
02:27:30.000 You had to show your vaccine so they can admit more people.
02:27:34.000 For comics as well?
02:27:35.000 No.
02:27:37.000 The store has it for the comics.
02:27:38.000 Yeah.
02:27:39.000 It's hilarious.
02:27:41.000 Why can't you just show a negative test?
02:27:44.000 The Facebook just banned Donald Trump for two years.
02:27:49.000 They said he can't come back to Facebook for two years.
02:27:51.000 Yeah, I just read that.
02:27:52.000 There's something he could do, though, to get back.
02:27:54.000 I didn't know what it was he could do to get back, but there's something he can do to come back, though.
02:27:59.000 Like parole?
02:27:59.000 Yeah, a little bit.
02:28:00.000 Instead of a parole hearing?
02:28:01.000 Tell us you're sorry.
02:28:02.000 Let me see.
02:28:03.000 I'm sorry.
02:28:04.000 You have to put out- I almost caused the United States to collapse, the end of democracy.
02:28:10.000 You have to just give us inspirational quotes for the next two years, and we'll let you back in. 0.98
02:28:16.000 Like, what kind of fucking- They made a ruling. 1.00
02:28:20.000 And some people are like, this is bullshit. 1.00
02:28:22.000 He should be out forever. 0.99
02:28:23.000 Why are you letting him back in two years?
02:28:25.000 Because in two years, he'll be even older. 0.99
02:28:27.000 It's like, imagine how dumb he'll be in two years. 0.99
02:28:30.000 Imagine how more reckless. 1.00
02:28:30.000 He'll be a mess. 1.00
02:28:32.000 In two years, and then the two years, the effect of all the amphetamines he's going to be taking from now until those two years.
02:28:39.000 Deterioration of the brain, McDonald's food, no vitamins.
02:28:43.000 I know.
02:28:44.000 He does the opposite.
02:28:46.000 He's going to live longer than everybody.
02:28:47.000 Yeah.
02:28:48.000 I wonder.
02:28:49.000 I wonder.
02:28:51.000 Well, they just came down with that ruling?
02:28:53.000 Yeah.
02:28:53.000 Yeah.
02:28:54.000 Well, that's pretty heavy.
02:28:56.000 I'm trying to find out about the way that says he come back, but it does say that in two years they're going to reevaluate even, so it might not be that.
02:29:02.000 Right.
02:29:04.000 Yeah. 1.00
02:29:04.000 He's fucked. 1.00
02:29:05.000 Kick the can. 1.00
02:29:06.000 Very interesting how they can just remove someone from social media like that, though.
02:29:10.000 Yeah.
02:29:11.000 You know?
02:29:11.000 I mean, it's a real eye-opener for a lot of people when they can move the President of the United States off of Twitter.
02:29:19.000 Mm-hmm.
02:29:19.000 And go, that's it.
02:29:20.000 You're done.
02:29:21.000 Yeah.
02:29:21.000 Done.
02:29:21.000 And then you don't hear from him anymore.
02:29:23.000 Yeah.
02:29:24.000 Imagine if he was still on social media right now.
02:29:26.000 Oh, it's so exhausting.
02:29:28.000 You would never hear a word. 0.98
02:29:29.000 And apparently he quit his blog after only nine days because the fucking view count was so abysmal. 0.98
02:29:35.000 Yeah, who wants... 0.99
02:29:36.000 Yeah.
02:29:37.000 No one wants to go into the president's blog.
02:29:41.000 You know?
02:29:42.000 Yeah.
02:29:43.000 But that's the thing that's interesting, though, is that people are locked into these ecosystems.
02:29:46.000 Right.
02:29:47.000 Facebook or Instagram or YouTube, whatever it is, they're locked into those things.
02:29:51.000 Yeah.
02:29:52.000 And nobody wants to go to your website anymore.
02:29:55.000 No, I know.
02:29:56.000 Exactly.
02:29:57.000 Yeah, they just want to feed it to me.
02:30:00.000 Well, make it a part of what I already eat.
02:30:02.000 Don't make me go to a new restaurant.
02:30:04.000 Right, exactly.
02:30:06.000 That's the thing.
02:30:07.000 People don't want to go anywhere. 0.97
02:30:09.000 Even switching over from YouTube to Spotify, so many people are like, what the fuck is this? 0.95
02:30:16.000 Oh, really? 0.92
02:30:17.000 I got to download a new thing.
02:30:20.000 They're mad.
02:30:22.000 Really?
02:30:23.000 Yeah, for sure.
02:30:24.000 That's weird.
02:30:25.000 It's not weird, though.
02:30:26.000 People get trapped in a habit.
02:30:30.000 Yeah.
02:30:30.000 They have a routine that you follow.
02:30:32.000 Yeah.
02:30:32.000 You go to iTunes.
02:30:33.000 Every day at iTunes, you get the latest podcast.
02:30:36.000 There it is.
02:30:36.000 I'm already subscribed.
02:30:37.000 Yeah.
02:30:38.000 Press play.
02:30:39.000 Yeah.
02:30:39.000 Now you got to do the same thing over at Spotify.
02:30:41.000 But what's so weird is how it's moving.
02:30:44.000 It's always changing.
02:30:45.000 There's always new things coming up.
02:30:46.000 Yeah.
02:30:47.000 Well now Spotify has more podcast viewers and listeners than any other app.
02:30:51.000 Oh really?
02:30:51.000 Spotify has surpassed Apple.
02:30:53.000 Wow.
02:30:54.000 Yeah.
02:30:55.000 That's impressive.
02:30:56.000 Yeah, it's a new thing.
02:30:57.000 Man, they really did that quickly.
02:30:59.000 Yeah, make sure that's true.
02:31:00.000 I'm 90% sure it's true though.
02:31:03.000 That's amazing.
02:31:04.000 Yeah.
02:31:05.000 Well, it's a really good interface, you know?
02:31:07.000 I won't say anymore because I work for them.
02:31:09.000 No, but it is.
02:31:10.000 I mean, just watching for my daughters, they were looking at me using Apple Music like, ew. 0.95
02:31:16.000 I was like, what?
02:31:17.000 Like, no, Spotify.
02:31:19.000 It says that they will surpass Apple this year.
02:31:23.000 Will.
02:31:23.000 When was this?
02:31:24.000 March.
02:31:25.000 Oh, that's quite a long time ago, isn't it?
02:31:28.000 That was a forecast, too.
02:31:31.000 I think the latest one was something they sent.
02:31:34.000 Well...
02:31:36.000 I might be wrong.
02:31:37.000 Just gotta follow where the kids are going.
02:31:39.000 Maybe it's worldwide, but in America, it's still...
02:31:43.000 Apple still has the lead, I think.
02:31:45.000 Mm-hmm.
02:31:46.000 Like, Google worldwide uses Spotify.
02:31:49.000 But then I got a message from a friend of mine who said his friends in some parts of the world can't get Spotify.
02:31:57.000 It doesn't work.
02:31:58.000 Oh, yeah.
02:31:59.000 That's true, yeah.
02:32:00.000 Like Iran? 0.92
02:32:00.000 I was gonna say, I've gotten a message... 0.92
02:32:03.000 Facebook is adding podcasts. 1.00
02:32:07.000 Can you imagine with the censorship that those motherfuckers pump out? 1.00
02:32:11.000 I mean, they just now allowed you to talk about the lab leak theory again. 0.99
02:32:15.000 For the longest time, if you talked about the COVID possibly leaking from a lab that studied COVID that just happens to be in the exact same location as the fucking weird disease that is inexplicably... 0.93
02:32:29.000 Sickening people in different ways and all the shit that we talked about before. 0.97
02:32:32.000 Just happens to be there. 0.99
02:32:33.000 If you put that on Facebook, they would literally delete it from Facebook.
02:32:37.000 Really?
02:32:37.000 Yeah.
02:32:38.000 Legitimate scientists and biologists were examining this.
02:32:41.000 Epidemiologists were examining this.
02:32:43.000 And they were saying, this very well may have come from the lab that is right there.
02:32:48.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:32:48.000 In that same area.
02:32:49.000 So what's their interest in that?
02:32:51.000 Propaganda!
02:32:51.000 What was their interest in that?
02:32:52.000 Who the fuck knows? 1.00
02:32:54.000 Who the fuck knows? 1.00
02:32:56.000 Who knows what these people are up to? 0.99
02:32:58.000 Mark Zuckerberg, if there's anybody on this planet that's a robot, it's him.
02:33:03.000 Yeah.
02:33:04.000 You ever see him drink water?
02:33:05.000 No.
02:33:05.000 It's very weird.
02:33:06.000 Oh, really?
02:33:07.000 Yeah, like this.
02:33:07.000 Ready?
02:33:08.000 Yeah.
02:33:08.000 I'm going to drink like Zuckerberg, man.
02:33:13.000 And he used two hands?
02:33:14.000 Yeah, he used two hands, but maybe that was Trump that used two hands.
02:33:17.000 Trump used two hands.
02:33:18.000 Trump used two hands and everybody was speculating, he's shaking, he's got the shakes!
02:33:21.000 Watch him sip this water.
02:33:23.000 Watch this, watch this, watch this.
02:33:24.000 Ready?
02:33:26.000 This is how people drink the water.
02:33:31.000 Look how he puts it down.
02:33:32.000 What is that?
02:33:32.000 That is a guy that secretly wants all the power in the world.
02:33:38.000 He's trying to keep it together. 0.87
02:33:40.000 Just don't fuck this up, Mark. 0.99
02:33:42.000 Don't fuck this up. 0.92
02:33:43.000 Take a sip of water. 0.93
02:33:44.000 We are normal.
02:33:45.000 We are just like us.
02:33:46.000 We are just like them.
02:33:48.000 It's so weird.
02:33:50.000 Bro, that is the weirdest sip of water ever.
02:33:51.000 It is so bizarre.
02:33:54.000 That's so weird.
02:33:55.000 So strange.
02:33:55.000 That's why he was able to do it, I guess.
02:33:57.000 He's a cyborg.
02:33:58.000 But I mean, why did he even want that much water?
02:34:00.000 Yeah.
02:34:01.000 Do you even notice if you had that much water right after you have it?
02:34:04.000 Go ahead and try that.
02:34:05.000 Ready?
02:34:05.000 Let's do a Mark Zuckerberg set.
02:34:06.000 He looks at it first.
02:34:07.000 He looks at what he's putting in.
02:34:10.000 Probably because he's worried they're poisoning him.
02:34:12.000 He probably has a bunch of people that test his food.
02:34:15.000 Eat the king's food.
02:34:17.000 You trying to be more robotic doesn't come close to what he was doing.
02:34:21.000 You're doing your best to be a robot and still there's so much emotion coming out of your body.
02:34:28.000 Was that his sunscreen?
02:34:29.000 Is that legit?
02:34:30.000 That's real sunscreen?
02:34:31.000 He went surfing, yeah.
02:34:32.000 No.
02:34:34.000 100%.
02:34:34.000 What?
02:34:34.000 He did his whole face in zinc?
02:34:37.000 Yes.
02:34:38.000 Bro, he's so odd.
02:34:39.000 It's so weird!
02:34:41.000 I love that that exists.
02:34:44.000 You see, when you have the kind of money that guy has and the kind of power he has by being at the helm of Facebook, and then you have a bunch of people that want you to step down as a CEO, like a lot of people want him to step down as a CEO of Facebook.
02:34:57.000 Oh, yeah.
02:34:58.000 A lot of people. 0.99
02:34:59.000 They think he fucked up things during the election with all the Russian propaganda and all the shit that happened in 2016. And selling all our information to people. 0.99
02:35:09.000 That was a big kerfuffle. 1.00
02:35:11.000 There's so much going on, and they want him to step down, but he's like, fuck. 1.00
02:35:14.000 Fuck you, I'm drinking water. 1.00
02:35:15.000 Yeah, I made this, I'm gonna keep it. 1.00
02:35:21.000 Jeff Bezos is stepping down.
02:35:23.000 Is he?
02:35:23.000 Yeah.
02:35:24.000 What's he gonna do?
02:35:26.000 Spend that money.
02:35:27.000 Man.
02:35:28.000 You'd get bored.
02:35:30.000 Would you?
02:35:31.000 Yeah, if you're that kind of head that got you to that position, right?
02:35:34.000 Maybe he wants to do something else. 0.99
02:35:35.000 Don't you think you could do something else with 150 billion fucking dollars? 0.98
02:35:39.000 You could basically just- I don't know if it would change me at all. 1.00
02:35:44.000 You set a billion aside and start doing wild shit with that billion dollars. 0.98
02:35:48.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:35:48.000 Just decide, all right, I'm going to do this. 0.99
02:35:51.000 Do whatever the hell you want.
02:35:52.000 Yeah.
02:35:53.000 What would you do?
02:35:54.000 What would you do?
02:35:55.000 What would you do if you're Bill Gates and you just got divorced?
02:35:58.000 Why did they get divorced? 1.00
02:36:00.000 Because he likes to fuck. 1.00
02:36:01.000 Is that it? 1.00
02:36:02.000 Probably.
02:36:05.000 I'd imagine.
02:36:06.000 He's got caught tubing in his thing.
02:36:08.000 $150 billion.
02:36:09.000 Yeah. 1.00
02:36:10.000 Probably wants to fuck. 1.00
02:36:11.000 I'm like, listen, Melinda. 1.00
02:36:13.000 I love you, but I can't.
02:36:15.000 It just seems so weird at that age.
02:36:18.000 What do they call that?
02:36:20.000 There's a certain type of divorce they call it. 0.98
02:36:22.000 There's a term.
02:36:24.000 Is there?
02:36:24.000 Yeah.
02:36:25.000 It's gotta be, because it's so weird.
02:36:27.000 You're just the old jellyfish people. 0.99
02:36:29.000 It's like a sunset divorce or some shit. 1.00
02:36:31.000 Right, right. 0.99
02:36:32.000 At the end of the day.
02:36:33.000 Yeah.
02:36:35.000 I quit!
02:36:36.000 Enough! 1.00
02:36:37.000 God, at that point, who cares?
02:36:39.000 I think there's...
02:36:40.000 Let's make some tea.
02:36:41.000 The speculation is it had something to do with his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which turned out to be far more extensive than he had let on.
02:36:49.000 Oh, jeez.
02:36:50.000 Everything always comes back to that guy.
02:36:52.000 That guy had his claws in everybody.
02:36:54.000 I know.
02:36:55.000 So creepy.
02:36:56.000 Don't you feel real fortunate that you never went to one of his parties?
02:37:00.000 You know, and I tried to get invited all those years.
02:37:04.000 Imagine if you did, though.
02:37:06.000 Oh, my God.
02:37:07.000 You know, like...
02:37:08.000 Just a snapshot of you at a party with a drink?
02:37:11.000 A lot of famous people were at his parties.
02:37:13.000 I know.
02:37:13.000 A lot.
02:37:14.000 A lot of famous people traveled with him.
02:37:16.000 Really?
02:37:16.000 Yeah, a lot.
02:37:17.000 A lot.
02:37:18.000 I mean, that was part of the gig.
02:37:19.000 Whatever he was doing, let's not speculate about who he worked for or what intelligence agencies or what have you.
02:37:24.000 Well, geez.
02:37:25.000 But for sure, there was some of that going on.
02:37:27.000 And he was curating influential people.
02:37:31.000 That's so weird, isn't it? 0.99
02:37:32.000 Fuck yeah, it's weird. 0.99
02:37:34.000 God, people had too much time on their hands. 1.00
02:37:36.000 What's weird is that that was like the craziest conspiracy theory ever.
02:37:41.000 If you went back in the day, just like a few years ago, and someone, like some Alex Jones type dude, was telling you about a conspiracy where super wealthy people and famous people fly to an island to have sex with underage girls,
02:37:56.000 you're like, what?
02:37:57.000 That sounds like Looney Tunes stuff.
02:37:59.000 Yeah.
02:38:00.000 And now you're like, Oh.
02:38:02.000 Oh, it was real.
02:38:04.000 It was real.
02:38:05.000 And then he got literally hundreds of celebrities and scientists and world leaders.
02:38:11.000 Well, maybe they were coming because they heard it was a good buffet.
02:38:13.000 That's what I heard.
02:38:14.000 I heard it's a great buffet.
02:38:16.000 I only flew with him 26 times.
02:38:19.000 I don't know what the problem is. 0.98
02:38:21.000 Everybody's so fucking judgmental today. 0.98
02:38:24.000 I hear he's got a bunch of jet skis. 0.98
02:38:25.000 I hear it's a really fun time.
02:38:27.000 He's got his own game room, I hear.
02:38:29.000 He's got his own...
02:38:30.000 Shuffleboard?
02:38:31.000 Shuffleboard?
02:38:32.000 There's a...
02:38:33.000 Let me find this real quick.
02:38:34.000 How's that Jelaine lady staying alive? 1.00
02:38:36.000 Who?
02:38:37.000 Denied her fifth bail charge yesterday.
02:38:39.000 Who?
02:38:40.000 Trying to get out, yeah, yeah.
02:38:41.000 Oh, his partner?
02:38:43.000 Who arranged all that stuff?
02:38:46.000 Bail, not parole, right?
02:38:48.000 That was a documentary I didn't get through. 0.99
02:38:50.000 When is her fucking... 1.00
02:38:52.000 November? 0.99
02:38:53.000 Why is it so long?
02:38:55.000 Probably because of COVID. No, they're trying to murder her.
02:38:58.000 They're just doing it nice and slow.
02:38:59.000 They just keep putting a rope into her cell. 1.00
02:39:03.000 Just gonna leave this on the tray. 0.99
02:39:05.000 Well, how about the fucking people that were guarding Jeffrey Epstein's cell? 0.99
02:39:09.000 They falsified records, lied about it, and they just got community service. 0.99
02:39:13.000 Like, whatever.
02:39:14.000 No big deal.
02:39:16.000 I pulled up the wrong clip.
02:39:17.000 Do you remember that show, like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but it was later on VH1. It was sort of like Cribs.
02:39:24.000 It was a little bit of a mixture of both, but VH1 did it. 1.00
02:39:27.000 Pimp My Ride.
02:39:28.000 They did a...
02:39:29.000 Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!
02:39:33.000 It's just like that of Jeffrey Epstein.
02:39:36.000 Oh, yeah, that's right.
02:39:37.000 I saw that online the other day.
02:39:38.000 And they're showing his cool house.
02:39:40.000 I'm trying to find the video, though.
02:39:42.000 Oh, they featured him on the show?
02:39:43.000 Mm-hmm.
02:39:44.000 This is the massage room where all the action happens.
02:39:48.000 Everyone is of age!
02:39:52.000 You're not being filmed!
02:39:57.000 Creepy.
02:39:59.000 That was the word that Ghislaine said, that they had films of everyone.
02:40:04.000 Films of all those people.
02:40:06.000 That's the old spot.
02:40:09.000 A whopping 51,000 square feet. 0.82
02:40:13.000 That's a dope house. 1.00
02:40:14.000 Look at him.
02:40:16.000 Unearthed video from Jeffrey Epstein's feature from 2007 has gone massively viral on social media.
02:40:22.000 It just sells them almost like you guys were doing, like he was like a cool guy.
02:40:26.000 Yeah.
02:40:27.000 Sweet parties.
02:40:28.000 Fabious life of billion-dollar Wall Street borrowers dives into Epstein's fixation on owning private...
02:40:33.000 Oh, there it is.
02:40:35.000 Led French of Bill Clinton was spotted on the infamous Lolita Express chat in 2002. Wow.
02:40:44.000 You know what?
02:40:45.000 None of those people are making their own pasta, I'll tell you that right now.
02:40:48.000 That's what's up.
02:40:49.000 Right?
02:40:49.000 Yeah.
02:40:49.000 No one's learning how to shoot a bow and arrow.
02:40:52.000 Yeah.
02:40:53.000 They have nothing to take up their time, so they just run around with their wieners out.
02:40:57.000 You greatly benefited from my move to Austin, Texas.
02:41:00.000 You got a freezer full of elk.
02:41:02.000 Dude.
02:41:03.000 How's that like?
02:41:04.000 Joe.
02:41:05.000 You have a full freezer.
02:41:06.000 I mean, it was the greatest gift ever.
02:41:09.000 I open it just even when I'm not eating it, just to look inside.
02:41:12.000 I have that giant freezer.
02:41:14.000 It fit perfectly.
02:41:16.000 It's like my house was waiting for it.
02:41:18.000 It's this perfect nook right in the garage, and it's just so much elk.
02:41:24.000 Isn't it nice?
02:41:25.000 I have not bought meat.
02:41:27.000 I don't buy meat.
02:41:28.000 Do you feel better when you eat that meat?
02:41:30.000 A hundred percent.
02:41:31.000 Really do, right?
02:41:32.000 No joke.
02:41:33.000 Yeah.
02:41:33.000 No joke.
02:41:34.000 It's so good for you.
02:41:35.000 It's so good.
02:41:36.000 I love it.
02:41:38.000 What's the ones in the camouflage?
02:41:41.000 Tubes.
02:41:42.000 That's ground beef.
02:41:43.000 Excuse me, ground elk.
02:41:44.000 That's ground elk.
02:41:45.000 Is it different from any of the others?
02:41:47.000 No.
02:41:48.000 Usually it's a tougher cut, like shoulder meat, and they ground it up to make hamburger.
02:41:54.000 It is sensational with eggs.
02:41:57.000 What I like to do with it, I like to take some butter, put it in a pan, and I take the ground elk and I put some garlic salt on the ground elk and just kind of get it browned.
02:42:09.000 And then I push it to the side and crack a bunch of eggs in there too.
02:42:12.000 And I have like four eggs.
02:42:14.000 And either I mix it all up together, which sometimes I do.
02:42:17.000 I make like a scramble.
02:42:18.000 Or I just get the eggs sunny side up, push them to the side, and then put the ground elk on a pile on the plate and then mix it in with the yolks and everything.
02:42:27.000 Woo! 0.99
02:42:28.000 Nice! 0.94
02:42:28.000 You just lit me up. 0.94
02:42:30.000 Woo! 0.99
02:42:31.000 And then you get a little piece of that bread.
02:42:34.000 And put that French butter on it. 0.54
02:42:36.000 Dude!
02:42:37.000 Come on now! 0.99
02:42:38.000 That's living!
02:42:39.000 So we're going to eat tonight at Red Ash.
02:42:41.000 I organized a comedian's dinner.
02:42:43.000 Nice.
02:42:44.000 Ron White, Eric Griffin.
02:42:45.000 Nice.
02:42:46.000 Everybody.
02:42:47.000 Tony, Red Band, Adam.
02:42:51.000 Adam's going to be here with that too.
02:42:53.000 Wow.
02:42:53.000 We're going to have some fun tonight.
02:42:54.000 Oh, that's great.
02:42:55.000 Red Ash is a great place in town.
02:42:57.000 They have like a real fire, like wood fire grilled steaks.
02:43:03.000 Ooh.
02:43:03.000 Where they have the thing with the Argentine style grill.
02:43:05.000 It cranks.
02:43:06.000 Oh, really?
02:43:07.000 It raises up and lowers.
02:43:08.000 Oh.
02:43:08.000 They have handmade pasta there too.
02:43:11.000 I think I want steak.
02:43:12.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that too.
02:43:14.000 Yeah.
02:43:15.000 You can have all of it.
02:43:16.000 Both of those things.
02:43:18.000 All right, we should wrap this up.
02:43:20.000 I don't want to.
02:43:22.000 What do you got to do?
02:43:23.000 Come on, man.
02:43:23.000 Don't you...
02:43:24.000 I don't want to go.
02:43:25.000 Don't you want to do other things as well?
02:43:27.000 No.
02:43:27.000 No?
02:43:28.000 No.
02:43:29.000 I just want to keep doing this until dinner.
02:43:31.000 When are you working again?
02:43:33.000 Out here.
02:43:34.000 Out here in Austin.
02:43:36.000 Any gigs?
02:43:38.000 Yeah, I'm doing the...
02:43:39.000 Was it the Capitol?
02:43:42.000 What's the theater here?
02:43:43.000 Paramount?
02:43:44.000 Paramount.
02:43:44.000 Paramount's great.
02:43:45.000 Is it like a third capacity now?
02:43:47.000 I think they may have upped it up a little bit.
02:43:49.000 I think I'm doing it in the winter.
02:43:51.000 It's a great place.
02:43:52.000 Yeah.
02:43:52.000 Beautiful theater.
02:43:52.000 I've done it once before.
02:43:53.000 Beautiful theater.
02:43:55.000 Dude, they put on my website all of my dates on the map.
02:43:59.000 I have all the little pins.
02:44:02.000 There it is.
02:44:02.000 Look at all those dates.
02:44:04.000 Look at you, you fucking animal. 1.00
02:44:06.000 I don't like seeing that. 1.00
02:44:08.000 Why?
02:44:09.000 Because I'm going to go to all those places between now and December.
02:44:13.000 Does it give you anxiety?
02:44:14.000 You're going to Modesto, California. 1.00
02:44:16.000 You don't give a fuck, dude. 1.00
02:44:17.000 I go everywhere. 1.00
02:44:18.000 You get out there.
02:44:19.000 St. Paul, Minnesota.
02:44:20.000 What?
02:44:20.000 Red Bank, New Jersey.
02:44:23.000 The Wynn in Las Vegas.
02:44:27.000 What's the Encore Theater at The Wynn?
02:44:29.000 I've never done that.
02:44:30.000 Yeah, the win.
02:44:31.000 It's my first time there, July 30th.
02:44:33.000 I always usually do the Mirage.
02:44:35.000 The Mirage?
02:44:36.000 Yeah, I love that place.
02:44:38.000 A lot of comics do that.
02:44:39.000 It's not that big, but it's really perfectly set up.
02:44:42.000 That's the Terry Fedor Theater, the guy who won, what is it, America's Got Talent?
02:44:47.000 Is he still going?
02:44:48.000 I don't know.
02:44:49.000 I saw him there.
02:44:50.000 I took my family to see him there because it's like a family-friendly show.
02:44:52.000 You can see little kids can come and watch.
02:44:54.000 Oh, that's cool.
02:44:54.000 Have you seen Hacks on HBO? No.
02:44:57.000 What is that?
02:44:57.000 It's good.
02:44:58.000 I've only seen a couple episodes, but Gene Smart plays a Joan Rivers, Rita Rudner kind of a comedian.
02:45:06.000 Oh, it's about comedy?
02:45:07.000 Yeah.
02:45:07.000 She plays a Vegas comic, a legend Vegas comic who's trying to hang on, and this young hipster comedian comes in to help her write.
02:45:18.000 And it's the two generations of comedy.
02:45:21.000 The young comic gives her these jokes.
02:45:24.000 She's like, these aren't jokes.
02:45:25.000 There's no punchlines.
02:45:26.000 And it's such a good look at comedy.
02:45:30.000 Oh, this is new?
02:45:31.000 Yeah, it's new.
02:45:33.000 She's so good.
02:45:35.000 She's really... 0.98
02:45:36.000 How come I... Goddammit, there's so much on television, I haven't fucking seen it. 0.99

02:45:41.000 God, she looks a little like Joan Rivers. 1.00
02:45:42.000 I don't see anything, and I was able to see a couple of these.
02:45:46.000 Really well done. 0.99
02:45:47.000 No shit. 0.99
02:45:48.000 She's amazing, and it just... 0.99
02:45:50.000 Like, it's obviously written by comics, because...
02:45:54.000 The stuff about the different generations of what comedy is and trying to kill, like we were talking about, like that Bernie Mac kind of a thing, and the new kind of hipster floating around.
02:46:06.000 This is in the world of kind of funny.
02:46:09.000 It's a pretty good look at it.
02:46:12.000 It's crazy when a show could be really good and you never heard of it.
02:46:15.000 How many shows are out there?
02:46:17.000 Dude, I know.
02:46:18.000 Everyone's talking about the mayor of Easttown or whatever that is.

02:46:23.000 Yeah.
02:46:24.000 That's what I hear.
02:46:25.000 I've never seen a thing.
02:46:26.000 Didn't even know what it was.
02:46:27.000 I thought it was the mayor, like M-A-Y-O-R. M-A-R-E. Yeah.
