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.
00:00:14.000 How are you?
00:00:15.000 I'm wonderful.
00:00:16.000 Thank you for having me.
00:00:17.000 I didn't know you have no caffeine.
00:00:19.000 No caffeine for years.
00:00:21.000 How many years?
00:00:23.000 About two.
00:00:24.000 What is that like?
00:00:26.000 You sleep better.
00:00:28.000 That's right here.
00:00:29.000 Yeah.
00:00:29.000 I was drinking coffee in the morning and then having to...
00:00:32.000 I would drink a cup at like four.
00:00:35.000 And I would drink a cup at four.
00:00:37.000 That would keep me up till 3 a.m.
00:00:39.000 every night.
00:00:40.000 Mmm.
00:00:41.000 Yeah.
00:00:42.000 So I had to stop, because I'm an addict.
00:00:44.000 I have addictive personality, and anything can become habitual.
00:00:49.000 Yeah.
00:00:50.000 So I had to be careful.
00:00:52.000 I think I'm an addict, too.
00:00:53.000 Well, you control it better than most.
00:00:56.000 Yeah, but it's the same thing. 0.81
00:00:58.000 You would be the definition of a high-functioning addict.
00:01:01.000 This has 300 milligrams of caffeine.
00:01:03.000 Now, what does that do?
00:01:04.000 When you drink that, how do you feel?
00:01:06.000 Sleep like a baby.
00:01:07.000 Really?
00:01:08.000 I can go to sleep under this table.
00:01:09.000 Interesting.
00:01:13.000 300 milligrams.
00:01:14.000 What does a regular cup of coffee have?
00:01:15.000 That's not even 100, I don't believe.
00:01:17.000 I think if you go to Starbucks and you get one of them whammy jammy 20-ouncers, I think that's a couple hundred milligrams, right?
00:01:25.000 We've done this before, right?
00:01:26.000 It's 225, I want to say.
00:01:27.000 225. Starbucks is extraordinarily high in caffeine.
00:01:31.000 95?
00:01:33.000 Oh, well 8 ounces, but 20 ounces is a venti, right?
00:01:37.000 So, maybe a little more.
00:01:41.000 Yeah, it's in the range.
00:01:42.000 I loved it.
00:01:43.000 I started drinking coffee when I think my dad got me my first.
00:01:46.000 I wanted to try a latte.
00:01:47.000 We were in the Hamptons.
00:01:48.000 I was like nine.
00:01:50.000 And he said, yeah, try it.
00:01:51.000 And I started drinking coffee in my teens.
00:01:55.000 And I kept drinking it throughout my 20s.
00:01:58.000 And then I had to get rid of it.
00:01:59.000 But I loved it.
00:02:00.000 Nothing is better in the morning than coffee and a cigarette.
00:02:03.000 And you got rid of both of them.
00:02:04.000 And then I went back.
00:02:05.000 I go with cigarettes.
00:02:06.000 I go on and off.
00:02:07.000 Very bad.
00:02:08.000 How are you at right now?
00:02:10.000 Now is on.
00:02:11.000 You want a cigar?
00:02:12.000 I don't want a cigar, unfortunately.
00:02:14.000 You don't like cigars?
00:02:15.000 I don't like cigars.
00:02:16.000 Really?
00:02:16.000 Yeah, because you don't inhale.
00:02:18.000 So what's the fun?
00:02:19.000 You can see what happens.
00:02:21.000 But I quit.
00:02:21.000 I quit for 17 days.
00:02:23.000 I didn't smoke for 17 days.
00:02:25.000 And then I just started.
00:02:26.000 And then I'll quit for two months, and then I'll start.
00:02:28.000 It's very compulsive and very bad.
00:02:31.000 And when you smoke, do you smoke before shows?
00:02:33.000 Do you smoke all day long?
00:02:35.000 I don't smoke as much in the day. 0.99
00:02:38.000 But I will smoke, maybe I'll have one or two during the day, but at night, because I like to talk and bullshit.
00:02:44.000 So if I have a captive audience of people, like at my house, in my backyard, or at the comedy store if we're all standing in the parking lot, Whatever it is, it's just the smoking.
00:02:58.000 I was in Denver, and when it's humid, you don't want to smoke.
00:03:01.000 It doesn't feel good.
00:03:02.000 But when you're in Denver, it's cool nights like LA. You're a chimney.
00:03:06.000 It feels great.
00:03:06.000 I mean, it doesn't feel great, but it does.
00:03:08.000 Well, it gives you a nice head rush.
00:03:10.000 It gives you a nice head rush.
00:03:11.000 And of all the things I've been addicted to, cocaine, booze, pills, This is the hardest to get rid of.
00:03:19.000 Really?
00:03:19.000 Truly.
00:03:20.000 Wow.
00:03:20.000 This is the hardest to knock.
00:03:24.000 Because when somebody's drinking, I look at it and I go, okay, it doesn't look good to me.
00:03:29.000 I associate it with so much trauma that I go, I can't grab that glass of whiskey.
00:03:33.000 It'd be a problem.
00:03:34.000 But it really is.
00:03:36.000 I'm just like, that's just a cigarette.
00:03:38.000 Just a cigarette.
00:03:39.000 And it's a very tough addiction.
00:03:42.000 Is it that it's just a cigarette? 0.98
00:03:45.000 You think it's no big deal to smoke it because it's not going to fuck you up? 0.62
00:03:50.000 It's not going to get you drunk? 0.97
00:03:51.000 Well, there's that.
00:03:53.000 Then there's the addict brain that goes, we're having one.
00:03:57.000 We're having one.
00:03:58.000 We speak in the royal we.
00:04:00.000 We go we.
00:04:01.000 The addict brain is very interesting because it's a part of you, but it's also separate.
00:04:05.000 Right.
00:04:05.000 So it's like a separate part of you that isn't...
00:04:07.000 It's somebody else.
00:04:09.000 It's in there.
00:04:10.000 It goes, here's what we're going to do.
00:04:12.000 And you start listening.
00:04:13.000 You start going, okay.
00:04:14.000 This seems like a good idea.
00:04:16.000 And that's why when you go to AA or any of these programs, they go, you can think your way back into drinking or drugs because you can.
00:04:25.000 Because that addict... 0.99
00:04:27.000 It's like weird.
00:04:28.000 It's like, you know, you see the obviously like, you know, movies where there's a spaceship and then like there's a little module that just detaches from the spaceship.
00:04:35.000 Yeah, a pod.
00:04:36.000 Yeah, a pod.
00:04:37.000 That's the attic brain.
00:04:38.000 It just detaches.
00:04:39.000 It goes, all clear.
00:04:40.000 Everything's good.
00:04:42.000 Everything's good.
00:04:43.000 Just do one.
00:04:44.000 It makes sense to do one.
00:04:46.000 You're at the comedy store.
00:04:47.000 You had a good set.
00:04:48.000 You're amongst friends.
00:04:49.000 You deserve it.
00:04:50.000 You're in the parking lot.
00:04:51.000 You're not doing heroin.
00:04:53.000 People do heroin.
00:04:54.000 It's just the same.
00:04:54.000 You're not beating a woman up.
00:04:57.000 You're just having a cigarette.
00:04:58.000 You can drive and smoke at the same time.
00:05:00.000 How bad can it be?
00:05:01.000 So here's the thing.
00:05:01.000 If they ban that, I think I'd quit.
00:05:04.000 But driving and smoking, to me, is the most fun I've really ever had in life.
00:05:10.000 There's nothing better than just rolling the window.
00:05:13.000 I bought that Range Rover.
00:05:14.000 I said, okay, I'm not going to smoke it.
00:05:16.000 It's a nice car.
00:05:17.000 All my friends go, you cannot smoke in that car.
00:05:19.000 And then the addict brain, you know, I think three stoplights in it goes, well, what the hell's the point?
00:05:24.000 You own this car.
00:05:26.000 You're going to not smoke in the car?
00:05:28.000 So I started smoking in the car.
00:05:30.000 And when I was an addict, I would wake up and I would take two Percocet and I would get a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich in Long Island and a cup of coffee and then drive to my mortgage job.
00:05:40.000 I was like 20, 21. And I would smoke cigarettes.
00:05:43.000 And I remember sitting in the car. 1.00
00:05:44.000 And it was a piece of shit. 1.00
00:05:45.000 It was like a Ford Focus. 1.00
00:05:46.000 But I would go, I'm just happy.
00:05:48.000 Things are just good.
00:05:49.000 Yeah, you're moving.
00:05:51.000 Things are happening.
00:05:51.000 Things are happening.
00:05:52.000 I'm going to get a better car, and I'm going to get a better life, but right now things are good.
00:05:58.000 So that's the biggest problem for me.
00:06:01.000 It's still there. 0.99
00:06:03.000 We were talking about Range Rovers before, about your Range Rovers fucking up. 0.94
00:06:06.000 You know what I really just realized while we were saying this? 0.98
00:06:09.000 You should be in a Cadillac. 1.00
00:06:11.000 You should get a fucking Escalade. 1.00
00:06:13.000 That's true. 1.00
00:06:13.000 Have you driven one of the new ones? 1.00
00:06:15.000 I've not.
00:06:15.000 They're fantastic.
00:06:16.000 It's a real Tony Soprano car.
00:06:18.000 Oh my, the new ones are so good.
00:06:21.000 I want to check them out.
00:06:22.000 We've driven a couple of them whenever I go to do a gig.
00:06:26.000 They're so big.
00:06:26.000 Dude, they're easy to drive.
00:06:28.000 Right.
00:06:28.000 They're no bigger than your truck.
00:06:30.000 Maybe slightly bigger than your Range Rover, but so comfortable, dude.
00:06:34.000 Yeah.
00:06:34.000 First of all, I know you like comfort.
00:06:36.000 Right.
00:06:36.000 You like that kind of thing?
00:06:37.000 Yeah.
00:06:37.000 They have this magnetic ride.
00:06:40.000 It's adjustable magnetic ride thing. 1.00
00:06:42.000 I don't know the technology behind it, but it fucking absorbs shit. 0.99
00:06:46.000 Like bumps in the road, just... 1.00
00:06:48.000 Just go right by.
00:06:49.000 Just smooths it over.
00:06:50.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:06:50.000 It's so nice inside, too, and super comfortable, and the fucking screen goes like the dashboard is one giant screen, there's another giant screen to the left. 0.98
00:06:59.000 Yeah, it's nice. 0.96
00:07:00.000 See if you can get a video or an image of the inside. 1.00
00:07:03.000 Look at the inside of these fucking things. 0.99
00:07:04.000 I'm telling you, man, the new one, they knocked it out of the park. 1.00
00:07:08.000 It's fucking amazing. 0.97
00:07:10.000 I love it. 0.94
00:07:11.000 Whenever we drive places or whenever we fly places and we rent one, I look forward to getting in these things.
00:07:17.000 Well, it's like a Lincoln Navigator.
00:07:18.000 It's like a boat.
00:07:19.000 It's like a luxury yacht.
00:07:21.000 That's another one that's awesome.
00:07:22.000 The new Lincoln Navigator is fantastic, too.
00:07:24.000 But I think out of the two, this is the one I would choose. 0.99
00:07:29.000 It's pretty fucking dope. 0.99
00:07:31.000 Scroll back down again. 0.99
00:07:33.000 And you know what?
00:07:34.000 It's a lot less expensive than a Range Rover. 0.99
00:07:36.000 And the RZA is doing a goddamn ad for it. 0.99
00:07:38.000 How about that? 0.99
00:07:40.000 That's the RZA from Wu-Tang.
00:07:41.000 I love it.
00:07:42.000 The guy who was on my podcast in Don L. Wrongs fucked it up.
00:07:47.000 It was a journey.
00:07:48.000 He didn't really fuck it up.
00:07:50.000 You like muscle cars.
00:07:51.000 You don't like comfort.
00:07:52.000 You don't want to feel lulled into a state of comfort.
00:07:54.000 That's right.
00:07:55.000 I drove BMW Alpina.
00:07:56.000 It's one of the fastest sedans.
00:07:57.000 And I was just driving it like 180 miles an hour to go to Ralph's.
00:08:01.000 And I said, this is going to end up being a problem. 0.97
00:08:03.000 I'm going to kill myself or somebody else. 0.80
00:08:06.000 I'm not a great driver. 0.99
00:08:07.000 That's the other thing.
00:08:08.000 I'm not a great driver.
00:08:09.000 I've totaled five cars.
00:08:10.000 Not recently.
00:08:11.000 But I've totaled five cars.
00:08:13.000 In the booze days?
00:08:14.000 Back in those days.
00:08:16.000 A few hit and runs.
00:08:17.000 Nothing crazy.
00:08:17.000 No one got hurt.
00:08:18.000 No one got hurt.
00:08:19.000 It's just a horrible way to meet someone.
00:08:20.000 So I would always leave the scene.
00:08:23.000 But I was a bad driver.
00:08:24.000 And I remember I was in a car with my secretary.
00:08:27.000 One of the secretaries who worked in my mortgage office.
00:08:30.000 And I made like a left turn from the right lane.
00:08:32.000 And we hit a car head on.
00:08:34.000 And her head bounced off the glove box of the car. 1.00
00:08:38.000 And she had a big... 0.77
00:08:40.000 We were going to get drugs, and she's fine now.
00:08:43.000 And she wasn't a triathlete.
00:08:45.000 It wasn't like she was...
00:08:46.000 But she hit her... 1.00
00:08:48.000 You know what I mean?
00:08:49.000 It wasn't...
00:08:49.000 We were both sedentary.
00:08:53.000 But she hit her head, and it was a bowling ball-sized welt that filled up with blood or pus in the car immediately.
00:09:02.000 And we got out of the car, and I looked at her. 0.99
00:09:04.000 I'm like, man, I'm fucked. 0.99
00:09:05.000 And then I didn't drive for a year. 0.99
00:09:08.000 I've had my license suspended over 20 times.
00:09:10.000 20 times?
00:09:11.000 Yeah, because I didn't pay tickets.
00:09:14.000 So, in Long Island, they would suspend your license.
00:09:17.000 And it's a serious crime in Long Island.
00:09:19.000 So, I've been to jail just for a few hours, but because I drove with a suspended license.
00:09:24.000 Like, they take you to jail, and then you have to get bailed out.
00:09:28.000 I mean, I had to pay thousands of dollars.
00:09:30.000 So, I'm not a great...
00:09:31.000 So, there's something about a comfortable car where I'm just like, let's just chill.
00:09:34.000 I get it.
00:09:35.000 Let's just chill in an Escalade.
00:09:36.000 Yeah.
00:09:37.000 It's a good feeling.
00:09:38.000 My ultimate goal is to drive.
00:09:41.000 Because there's something about just being in a backseat chillin' that I do like.
00:09:46.000 What if he starts complaining?
00:09:49.000 Well, it's going to be Alex Jones.
00:09:51.000 So he'll entertain me.
00:09:53.000 He'll drive the car.
00:09:54.000 I've only had half a bottle of vodka.
00:09:56.000 Half a bottle of vodka, I'm fine.
00:09:58.000 But I'm better now.
00:10:00.000 No accidents, nothing.
00:10:01.000 I'm very good now.
00:10:02.000 No, I do like driving comfortable cars.
00:10:05.000 Don't get me wrong.
00:10:06.000 It's just, when I grew up, when I was a young boy, the cars that I would see, like when I worked at a gas station that would drive by, they were always American muscle cars.
00:10:15.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:10:15.000 Like, oh, look at that fucking thing. 0.99
00:10:17.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:10:18.000 There's something burned into my DNA. Of course.
00:10:21.000 That loves those 1960s, early 1970s muscle cars.
00:10:25.000 Yeah, talking about like Mustangs and things like that.
00:10:27.000 Love them.
00:10:28.000 Love them.
00:10:28.000 I can't get enough of them.
00:10:30.000 Right.
00:10:30.000 When I see them, like I get excited.
00:10:32.000 About those cars.
00:10:32.000 Yeah, like my friend Corey came to my house today and they had a 1968 GMC truck that had been rebuilt and it was beautiful.
00:10:42.000 Yeah.
00:10:42.000 And I just, something, I see those, I go, oh.
00:10:45.000 You get excited.
00:10:45.000 Yeah.
00:10:46.000 Look at that fucking thing. 1.00
00:10:48.000 Yeah, it's toxic masculinity. 1.00
00:10:50.000 That's what it is.
00:10:51.000 It's appreciation of American art is what it is.
00:10:54.000 That was probably one of the best eras in America, and if you look at the architecture, that mid-century modern architecture where you can find it in Palm Springs and parts of California and everywhere, but it's really concentrated there, that was the era when we were killing it across the board.
00:11:09.000 Yeah.
00:11:09.000 With what we were making.
00:11:11.000 Manufacturing.
00:11:12.000 Manufacturing.
00:11:13.000 Like we were making great products.
00:11:14.000 Our houses were beautiful.
00:11:17.000 We felt we were going to the moon or maybe.
00:11:20.000 Maybe not.
00:11:20.000 But we were trying to.
00:11:23.000 So when you go back to that era, it's kind of cool to look at things that were made in that era when we really believed we were at our zenith.
00:11:30.000 We didn't know it, but when you look back at that, obviously it wasn't, you know, people didn't have rights and things weren't nice, but just speaking strictly about the materials and the things we were making, we were top of the line.
00:11:42.000 But at least there was a recognition that people didn't have rights and it was wrong and they were trying to change it for the first time.
00:11:47.000 100%.
00:11:47.000 100%.
00:11:48.000 Now we're at a point where we go, people have too many rights.
00:11:51.000 Now we're going the other way.
00:11:52.000 I am seeing people legitimately tweeting transracial rights are human rights. 0.92
00:11:58.000 Of course!
00:11:59.000 They're legitimately trying to...
00:12:01.000 Transracialism... 1.00
00:12:03.000 There was a guy who got kicked off Twitter a few years ago.
00:12:05.000 He was really funny.
00:12:06.000 And he had a parody account.
00:12:09.000 Where he would write, hashtag, wrong skin. 0.83
00:12:12.000 And he was saying that he's black. 0.93
00:12:14.000 He's the whitest guy alive. 1.00
00:12:16.000 And he was saying, I was born in the wrong skin.
00:12:18.000 But he was a comic.
00:12:20.000 I used to go back and forth with him on DMs.
00:12:22.000 I thought he was hilarious. 0.99
00:12:23.000 I'm like, dude, your fucking account's brilliant. 1.00
00:12:25.000 And he was just fucking around. 1.00
00:12:26.000 That was his thing. 0.99
00:12:27.000 And he was always promoting this transracial thing. 0.97
00:12:31.000 But he was doing it just as a troll. 0.94
00:12:32.000 Because people would freak out.
00:12:34.000 They didn't realize it was a parody.
00:12:35.000 They'd get mad at him. 0.98
00:12:36.000 But people are actually fucking saying it now. 0.99
00:12:39.000 And do you see that? 0.99
00:12:40.000 The pop guy?
00:12:41.000 Yeah, the K-pop fan who had plastic surgery to make himself Korean.
00:12:46.000 He says he identifies with being Korean.
00:12:48.000 And you know who actually, Jamie might look this up because I believe I'm correct.
00:12:51.000 I believe Rachel Dolezal said I support this guy.
00:12:55.000 Yes!
00:12:55.000 And that's real, right?
00:12:56.000 Yes, it's real.
00:12:57.000 Well, all it takes is a couple.
00:12:59.000 It's like, look, if you have one match and you try to start a forest fire, it might go out before you can get those pine needles lit.
00:13:05.000 Right.
00:13:06.000 But if you have two matches...
00:13:08.000 Yeah.
00:13:10.000 Now you gotta fire.
00:13:11.000 We got two? 0.97
00:13:12.000 We got two transracial people? 0.77
00:13:14.000 Yeah.
00:13:14.000 You might be able to get...
00:13:15.000 Look, people are willing to believe all kinds of nonsensical ideas.
00:13:18.000 Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who gained notoriety for claiming she identifies as black... 0.99
00:13:23.000 First of all, that's not enough of a description of her.
00:13:26.000 She was the head of the NAACP in Washington State?
00:13:31.000 I don't know where, but she was a... 1.00
00:13:34.000 She had power.
00:13:35.000 Yes.
00:13:35.000 I mean, well, she was doing, arguably, she was doing good things for black folks that lived there.
00:13:42.000 She was running an organization that was designed to fight against discrimination, and she was doing it under a false pretense.
00:13:50.000 Well, it's like, you know, I always give this example.
00:13:53.000 My mother's a schizophrenic.
00:13:54.000 If instead of putting my mother in a mental institution and medicating her, we said, all of your ideas are great, and here's a profile in Rolling Stone, we'd have a real problem.
00:14:06.000 It's the reality. 0.97
00:14:08.000 And she has real mental illness. 0.98
00:14:10.000 It's not like I'm anxious. 1.00
00:14:12.000 She's nuts. 0.99
00:14:13.000 And you gotta medicate her, and she's gotta not live in society because she cannot handle it, right? 1.00
00:14:21.000 This is a fact.
00:14:24.000 If we were to then encourage this behavior, go, no, it's a good idea.
00:14:29.000 This is a great idea.
00:14:31.000 And if she was on the internet, people might be going, no, you're right.
00:14:34.000 Elvis might be your father, which is something she used to say at Christmas.
00:14:39.000 She was very possible that Elvis might be my father. 0.65
00:14:42.000 And my grandmother would go, I didn't have sex with Elvis.
00:14:45.000 And then my mother would go, but then you might not be my mother. 1.00
00:14:48.000 She's nuts! 1.00
00:14:50.000 Real nuts! 0.99
00:14:51.000 And that's why I get upset at these people that are like, I'm not upset with them, but like, everybody now has a thing.
00:14:56.000 Everyone's, I'm anxious, I'm depressed, I'm tired, I'm attacked.
00:15:01.000 And you know, reality is, real mental illness, you don't get a comedy special.
00:15:05.000 You don't get a profile in Rolling Stone.
00:15:07.000 You get locked up.
00:15:09.000 Truly.
00:15:10.000 Because you're a danger to yourself and others, which my mother is. 0.79
00:15:13.000 And I see this and I go, this is not people that are operating with full use of all of their faculties.
00:15:20.000 Something is wrong.
00:15:21.000 Something's wrong, but it's wrong in a mild way where they can justify this weird thing, especially at this time in society, where we'll tolerate this.
00:15:30.000 We'll tolerate it.
00:15:30.000 Not just tolerate it, we'll encourage it.
00:15:32.000 It'll be encouraged.
00:15:33.000 I think people are going to be transracial. 0.97
00:15:35.000 I think in the next few years, transracialism is going to be fully embraced, and then we're going to have black folks on our side, because they're going to go, hey! 0.97
00:15:44.000 Now this is too much. 0.87
00:15:46.000 This is crazy.
00:15:47.000 All this stuff about trans women competing in the Olympics, that wasn't as bothersome.
00:15:54.000 Yeah. 0.97
00:15:55.000 Dave Chappelle has a fucking brilliant bit about it. 0.63
00:15:57.000 I don't want to give away the bit, but he's got an amazing bit about it. 0.68
00:16:00.000 Yeah, it's strange.
00:16:02.000 It's hard to care about all this stuff, right?
00:16:06.000 I think that's also something that people are wrestling With how to do.
00:16:14.000 Well, also this guy picked Korean.
00:16:17.000 Right. 1.00
00:16:17.000 The thing about Koreans is notoriously hard workers, notoriously very, very tough to get them to complain about shit. 1.00
00:16:27.000 Right. 1.00
00:16:27.000 They're not the type of people that go, they fucking grind. 1.00
00:16:31.000 Right. 0.98
00:16:31.000 Koreans, like, you know, obviously just generalization, but very hard workers. 0.98
00:16:36.000 Right.
00:16:37.000 They're very well educated.
00:16:39.000 They embrace this idea that you're supposed to go out there and earn your place in life. 1.00
00:16:45.000 If someone comes along and says that they're Korean, they're not going to give a fuck. 0.99
00:16:49.000 They don't care. 0.99
00:16:49.000 They're not going to freak out. 0.99
00:16:50.000 They're just like, we're working.
00:16:51.000 We're busy.
00:16:52.000 Yeah.
00:16:53.000 It's crazy.
00:16:54.000 It's wild to think that we're approaching that time, but we probably are.
00:17:01.000 In a few years, we're definitely going to have transracialism. 0.90
00:17:04.000 We're going to talk about this in two years.
00:17:06.000 There's going to be groups that are designed to help transracial people.
00:17:12.000 There's going to be transracial people that are going to try to get involved in affirmative action for transracial people.
00:17:19.000 China's gonna win and the reality is at this point it's almost like they may deserve to win like this is really so scary where you go when you look at it when you watch the YouTube videos and somebody goes there's an innumerable amount of pronouns and I will tell you what I'll be called when I'll be called and this that and the other thing and you watch people argue about this and you go here's the new language we've invented overnight and you look at wrestling with all this stuff and The idea that we're now here 0.96
00:17:49.000 where people are going, we're at transracialism.
00:17:51.000 It's really just the end of the West.
00:17:53.000 Have you seen neo-pronouns now? 0.94
00:17:55.000 I've seen them all.
00:17:56.000 I saw a girl with a mustache explaining the need for neo-pronouns. 0.95
00:18:00.000 Yeah. 0.84
00:18:01.000 Well, the other thing is if you destroy gender, it's incredibly offensive to gay people, right? 1.00
00:18:06.000 Like if I was straight, I would have sex with women. 1.00
00:18:10.000 If gender didn't matter, I would just hook up with women because my life would have been easier, right? 1.00
00:18:15.000 Right.
00:18:15.000 So this whole idea that like gender It isn't real.
00:18:19.000 It's fluid.
00:18:19.000 Or fluid, or does it matter, is, in essence, kind of homophobic.
00:18:24.000 It's basically saying gay people don't exist, or their preferences are somehow bigoted, but it's like, no, biologically, there are people that are attracted to what, like, I was in Texas, I met some lesbian, one of them that didn't kick me off Airbnb, and she was saying that Every year they go out in like the wilderness of Texas and have some lesbian festival.
00:18:42.000 I don't know what it is.
00:18:43.000 It's just they play acoustic guitars and swim in a lake, whatever it is. 0.99
00:18:47.000 She goes, this year was the first year they got complaints that trans women couldn't attend, which is women with penises. 1.00
00:18:54.000 And they go, hey, we don't hate anybody. 0.99
00:18:56.000 We love everybody. 0.85
00:18:57.000 But like, this is a festival for lesbians. 1.00
00:19:00.000 And they didn't want biological men at the event because that's not what they're into. 0.99
00:19:06.000 They're not into penises. 0.98
00:19:08.000 So if you show up and you're a nice person, that's great, but they're trying to hook up in the wilderness. 1.00
00:19:13.000 They're trying to meet women with vaginas. 1.00
00:19:16.000 So they said they got an insane amount of hate. 0.99
00:19:19.000 For just specifying that it's a woman-only event.
00:19:22.000 And they go, you didn't include trans women who may or may not have transitioned.
00:19:27.000 They may just be like, hey, they said you didn't include non-binary.
00:19:31.000 You didn't include any of that.
00:19:32.000 And they go, but here's our thing.
00:19:34.000 Genitals matter to us because we don't want to hook up with dudes. 1.00
00:19:38.000 So that's how crazy we're getting now.
00:19:40.000 There was a tweet the other day that said, we're not fully equal until you don't care about your date's genitalia. 0.90
00:19:46.000 I saw that.
00:19:48.000 Yeah, that's real.
00:19:49.000 People are going, if you don't care about, if you go out with somebody and you care about what gender they are, you're harboring deep-seated prejudices.
00:19:58.000 That's how crazy we've gotten.
00:20:01.000 But it's not.
00:20:02.000 It's a very small percentage of very loud people.
00:20:04.000 It's a small percentage of people, but they're all over Hollywood.
00:20:07.000 They're all over the universities.
00:20:09.000 I mean, the people that hold these viewpoints are not, you know, the people that, like, You know, believe that the Holocaust didn't happen are not at Yale.
00:20:20.000 They're, who knows, they're in a, you know, some small, they're not a powerful faction of people.
00:20:27.000 They're like usually kooks, right?
00:20:29.000 The people that believe this stuff are like controlling large institutions and that's scary.
00:20:36.000 It is scary and it bleeds out into corporations because then they graduate and then a lot of them go into these corporations and the corporations are dealing with, if you're hiring 20 people straight out of the university, you have 40 employees, half of your employees have been indoctrinated into this crazy Marxist,
00:20:55.000 leftist, idealistic perspective that they've been taught in college by people who've never been in the real world.
00:21:01.000 Which is where it gets really crazy. 0.99
00:21:02.000 You take people who go from universities straight into being employed by universities, so they stay in this echo chamber, and they teach it to kids, and then these kids go and infect these universities with this crazy, woke bullshit. 1.00
00:21:18.000 Well, gay people don't understand it. 1.00
00:21:19.000 A lot of them that are over a certain age, I have a joke in my act now where I say, you get no sympathy for being gay from a kid. 0.96
00:21:25.000 Go tell a 16-year-old it was tough coming out of the closet. 0.98
00:21:27.000 They'll turn around and be like, Do you know how hard it is to be a pansexual communist witch? 1.00
00:21:33.000 So there's no, like being a white gay dude in your 30s, you might as well be a Nazi. 1.00
00:21:39.000 I mean, they're just like, you're the problem. 0.96
00:21:42.000 So most people just don't understand this.
00:21:46.000 But the people that don't understand it are sick and tired of fighting.
00:21:49.000 Because I get it.
00:21:50.000 It's annoying.
00:21:51.000 And people just say, you know what?
00:21:53.000 I just want to join my friends and family and whatever and let these people do whatever they want.
00:21:57.000 The problem is then those people that run around unchecked, then we live in an insane world.
00:22:01.000 Well, not just in the same world, but part of what's going on with these people is forced compliance. 0.98
00:22:06.000 Like, they want you to agree to their list of demands, like people with penises should be able to go in a women's bathroom. 1.00
00:22:12.000 Like, you saw that thing that happened in Los Angeles at the spa? 0.99
00:22:14.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:22:15.000 Where this lady's like, there's a guy in the women's room walking around with his dick hanging out. 1.00
00:22:19.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:22:19.000 And I don't know, was she with a child? 1.00
00:22:21.000 I don't know.
00:22:22.000 Possibly.
00:22:23.000 Was she with a child?
00:22:24.000 I don't know. 0.99
00:22:25.000 I don't remember if she was with a child, but she was fucking furious. 1.00
00:22:28.000 And they were like, well, that person identifies as a woman. 1.00
00:22:31.000 She's like, well, I'm looking at his dick. 1.00
00:22:32.000 Right. 1.00
00:22:33.000 Like, this is crazy.
00:22:34.000 So now- You should have to commit, I think.
00:22:36.000 But people are protesting now against that spot.
00:22:40.000 Of course. 0.71
00:22:40.000 They're organizing this big- They're saying, mask up and let's smash trans- Right. 0.71
00:22:46.000 Yeah.
00:22:48.000 Exclusive Saturday Showdown is in the work for over trans blow-up at Y-Spot. 1.00
00:22:52.000 Like, this is how crazy it is.
00:22:54.000 This is how crazy it is.
00:22:55.000 Mineral salt massages and hydrodermabrasion facials weren't enough to calm the nerves of some patients at the WeSpa, Koreatown Health Club.
00:23:06.000 Scene of a showdown over nudity in gendered spaces after a customer confronted spa staff about a trans woman with male genitals being allowed to disrobe in the spa's female section.
00:23:16.000 The ruckus was caught on camera and quickly went viral on Twitter on Sunday.
00:23:20.000 Fueling a furious online debate with threats of a boycott against the spa about the rights of trans people to use women's spaces.
00:23:27.000 I hate that term spaces.
00:23:28.000 It really drives me crazy because it's one of those loony new ways of talking about things.
00:23:33.000 Versus the rights of cisgender female. 1.00
00:23:35.000 I hate that word too.
00:23:36.000 Biological females to not be exposed to male anatomy. 1.00
00:23:40.000 As of Tuesday morning, a pair of videos shared by the pro-Trump conservative commenter Ian Miles Cheong had 596,000 And 223,000 views,
00:23:59.000 respectively.
00:24:00.000 According to users on Twitter, a protest is being planned for 11 a.m.
00:24:04.000 on Saturday, July 3rd at the WeSpa.
00:24:07.000 WhySpa? 0.94
00:24:09.000 Counter-protesters are calling for their ranks to arrive at 10 a.m.
00:24:13.000 Jesus Christ.
00:24:14.000 So let's play it.
00:24:15.000 Let's hear what happens, because I didn't listen to it.
00:24:19.000 Clear with you. 0.99
00:24:20.000 It's okay, it's okay for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls under age, your spa, we spa, condone that. 0.99
00:24:34.000 Is that what you're saying? 0.99
00:24:35.000 Like I asked.
00:24:37.000 It's so he can stay there.
00:24:39.000 He can stay there?
00:24:42.000 What sexual orientation? 1.00
00:24:44.000 I see a dick. 1.00
00:24:45.000 It lets me know he's a man. 1.00
00:24:47.000 He is a man.
00:24:51.000 He is not no female. 0.92
00:24:53.000 He is not a female. 0.99
00:24:55.000 He is not a female. 0.99
00:24:58.000 Hold on. 0.94
00:24:59.000 So now this is a black woman, I believe.
00:25:03.000 Okay, girls down there, other women who are highly offended for what they just saw. 1.00
00:25:07.000 Well, this is what Kurt Metzger would call an intersectional car crash.
00:25:11.000 Yes!
00:25:11.000 Because now you have to go to like a court and go, who gets to...
00:25:15.000 The argument about trans, which we all understand there's genuine cases of gender dysphoria and people say I'm happier in the other gender and some of those people can't afford surgeries and a lot of them want to have them.
00:25:26.000 But the whole argument was like this is how seriously that trans people feel about being in the wrong body.
00:25:33.000 They're willing to correct it via surgery.
00:25:37.000 And the new argument is that the surgery is incidental and that your lived experience, your identity is going to be something that people are always going to have to inquire about and may change three times during the day.
00:25:54.000 And this is just not efficient.
00:25:57.000 Let's talk about efficiency.
00:25:58.000 It's not efficient.
00:25:59.000 I mean, if you go out to a restaurant, you're supposed to go, here are my pronouns, here are his pronouns, and then the waiter's supposed to go like, here are my pronouns. 0.98
00:26:06.000 And it's like, hey guys, who gives a fuck? 0.97
00:26:08.000 What are the specials? 0.99
00:26:09.000 Like, there's nothing efficient about this.
00:26:12.000 And we can't honor and respect every human being's need to feel good at every moment of the day.
00:26:20.000 Being uncomfortable and feeling weird is where people grow, and you're just going to have to grow, unfortunately.
00:26:27.000 It's not an efficient society to just make sure that you're never offended, you're never misgendered.
00:26:34.000 Well, if you're a man and you do a good job of looking like a woman, people are going to call you she. 0.96
00:26:39.000 And if you are a woman and you do a great...
00:26:41.000 I will call Caitlyn Jenner she.
00:26:43.000 I'll call her governor.
00:26:45.000 I'm supporting her to be the governor.
00:26:47.000 I think she's the best option.
00:26:49.000 And unironically, I think she's probably good.
00:26:53.000 She has some good points about the police.
00:26:57.000 She has some good points about traffic and homelessness.
00:27:00.000 She's got good points.
00:27:01.000 You need a conservative trans person in that state. 1.00
00:27:04.000 It's not a bad idea.
00:27:05.000 It's not a bad idea.
00:27:06.000 And I'll start listening to non-binary people when I see non-binary conservatives.
00:27:09.000 See, I know trans people are real because there are trans conservatives.
00:27:14.000 Right.
00:27:15.000 But if non-binary, if there's no non-binary conservatives, I'm waiting for somebody to say, I am they, them, and I love my guns, and I love the cops. 0.79
00:27:26.000 And then I go, oh, this is totally legit because I get it.
00:27:30.000 It's a vast spectrum of humanity.
00:27:32.000 Yeah.
00:27:33.000 But as a comedian, we're supposed to call all this stuff out.
00:27:35.000 I'm supposed to call it out because it is absurd.
00:27:37.000 But if you do call it out, then all of a sudden- They're going to throw you off. 0.99
00:27:40.000 You have a better path to it because you're gay. 0.99
00:27:42.000 They don't care anymore. 0.99
00:27:44.000 They don't care anymore.
00:27:44.000 No, not when you look like me.
00:27:45.000 It's shifted over.
00:27:46.000 Yeah.
00:27:47.000 No, it's shifted. 0.68
00:27:48.000 Gay men, gay women. 0.99
00:27:49.000 First of all, lesbians now barely exist. 1.00
00:27:52.000 Literally, there's nine lesbian bars left in America. 1.00
00:27:54.000 What?
00:27:55.000 Because everybody's going, I'm going to just be non-binary. 1.00
00:27:58.000 Now, of course, lesbians didn't do a great job with their bars, let's be very honest. 1.00
00:28:02.000 But nine is wild. 0.77
00:28:04.000 Is that a number?
00:28:06.000 It's a number.
00:28:06.000 There are nine lesbian bars left in America.
00:28:09.000 What? 0.89
00:28:09.000 It's crazy. 0.89
00:28:10.000 How's that possible? 0.97
00:28:11.000 Because lesbians are disappearing. 1.00
00:28:13.000 They're just disappearing. 0.96
00:28:15.000 Where are they going?
00:28:16.000 They're becoming non-binary. 0.87
00:28:17.000 Is that real?
00:28:18.000 Yeah!
00:28:19.000 This is what's happening.
00:28:20.000 What about lesbian communities? 1.00
00:28:22.000 They're all older people. 1.00
00:28:24.000 A lot of young people are becoming non-binary.
00:28:26.000 You know, people really are You know, this is something that is happening.
00:28:32.000 And I'm not saying everybody has to feel like a man or a woman, but I get it.
00:28:35.000 I feel feminine.
00:28:36.000 Sometimes I feel masculine.
00:28:37.000 Sometimes I think every human being on earth does.
00:28:39.000 I don't know why there needs to be a classification.
00:28:42.000 Just because you're experiencing a full range of emotions.
00:28:44.000 Well, it's invoked.
00:28:46.000 And nobody wants to admit that.
00:28:48.000 Nobody wants to admit that that's part of the appeal.
00:28:49.000 Yeah.
00:28:50.000 Of what's going on.
00:28:51.000 It's actually fashionable.
00:28:52.000 Have you seen that video?
00:28:53.000 Did I ever play you that video where the girl comes out to her friends in a park?
00:28:59.000 She goes, I have an announcement.
00:29:01.000 Yes.
00:29:01.000 I'm a guy.
00:29:02.000 Yes.
00:29:02.000 And everyone's like, amazing!
00:29:03.000 I love you.
00:29:04.000 My name's Theo.
00:29:06.000 Yeah.
00:29:06.000 I go by he, they.
00:29:07.000 Yeah.
00:29:08.000 First of all, how can you go by he, they?
00:29:10.000 And why is your name Theo?
00:29:11.000 Because she likes Theo Vaughn.
00:29:12.000 Ugh.
00:29:13.000 Come on.
00:29:13.000 I love Theo Vaughn too, but like...
00:29:15.000 I just think, it's just strange.
00:29:18.000 And I'm getting older.
00:29:19.000 I'm only 36, but I look at all this stuff and I go, it's, you know, I'm going to eventually live in the woods.
00:29:25.000 I do now, but eventually, you know, I said eventually this is where you end up.
00:29:30.000 You end up just somewhere, you know, sitting on, you know, like get off my lawn, shaking your fist because you go, I just don't get it.
00:29:38.000 Well, it's going to get worse.
00:29:39.000 That's the thing.
00:29:40.000 I imagine.
00:29:40.000 I am concerned.
00:29:42.000 I called three realtors.
00:29:43.000 I'm going to have an apartment in LA. I'm going to keep my house here, but I'm going to get an apartment there to kind of like, you know, I want to have a presence there too.
00:29:50.000 And three realtors, I called them.
00:29:51.000 These are real estate agents.
00:29:52.000 Their job is to like tell me to like buy a house or rent something.
00:29:56.000 They were all like, yeah, it's bad.
00:29:58.000 Really?
00:29:59.000 The real estate agents were like, yeah, it's bad.
00:30:02.000 They go, I've got to be very honest with you.
00:30:04.000 They go, it's very bad.
00:30:05.000 In what way?
00:30:06.000 They said that the violence has gone up.
00:30:10.000 Crime has gone up.
00:30:11.000 Now everybody kind of has a story about somebody that's been evicted.
00:30:14.000 Somebody got followed to their car.
00:30:16.000 Somebody got robbed.
00:30:18.000 There was an incident of violence.
00:30:19.000 Somebody exposed himself to somebody.
00:30:22.000 These things are all increasing.
00:30:24.000 These numbers are going up.
00:30:25.000 There's a lot of mental illness.
00:30:27.000 Drug addiction in a lot of the, you know, unhoused populations of people.
00:30:32.000 And unfortunately, that is creating a dangerous environment for a lot of people.
00:30:37.000 And nobody wants to talk about that.
00:30:39.000 And people want to say that it's like, you know, whatever it is, it's hateful.
00:30:44.000 And listen, nobody wants homeless.
00:30:45.000 Nobody wants people to be on the street and insane.
00:30:49.000 But...
00:30:50.000 There are a percentage of those people.
00:30:52.000 I'm sure the vast majority of them are peaceful, but maybe not.
00:30:55.000 But a percentage of them are engaging in criminal acts that are making other people unsafe.
00:31:02.000 And all of the homicide rates in major cities have gone up in an unprecedented way.
00:31:08.000 And the people that are victims of that are living in These cities, they're poor people, they take public transportation, they're vulnerable, they're elderly, and no one cares. 0.99
00:31:19.000 And if you call that out, they're like, yeah, fuck you, Rush Limbaugh, whatever. 0.99
00:31:23.000 I'm like, hey guys, it is what it is. 0.99
00:31:25.000 These are facts, and the reality is that people that are paying the price for those are people that are not you.
00:31:31.000 I saw a tweet the other day, it's a hilarious tweet, where this woman was comparing crime rates in the 1980s to what's happening in New York today and how much lower the crime rate is now, even though it's up by more than 100% of last year.
00:31:47.000 Not comparing that.
00:31:48.000 Let's go back to 1980s.
00:31:50.000 Let's go back to when the gangs of New York, you know, when it was like the Five Points.
00:31:54.000 Yeah, people were like stabbing each other.
00:31:57.000 Let's go back to when people were getting thrown out of saloon windows. 0.98
00:32:00.000 Listen, And you sound like a loser complaining about it, right? 0.93
00:32:03.000 Because there's this whole thing in New York where people are like, New York's gritty. 0.98
00:32:07.000 It's back.
00:32:08.000 New York is back.
00:32:10.000 And these are people who I know personally, many of them live off their wives.
00:32:13.000 And a lot of them are escaping the suburbs.
00:32:15.000 And they're going, New York's back!
00:32:17.000 How do they live off their wives? 1.00
00:32:18.000 Their wives earn money and they pretend to do stand-up comedy. 0.97
00:32:21.000 It's a great gig.
00:32:22.000 How many of those guys are out there?
00:32:24.000 Millions.
00:32:26.000 A substantial population of people.
00:32:28.000 Is that a real thing?
00:32:29.000 It's a huge thing.
00:32:29.000 Guys live off their wives?
00:32:31.000 Women make horrible decisions with who they choose to spend their lives with. 1.00
00:32:35.000 And as somebody who has nothing to do with women in a sexual way, I've just noticed that.
00:32:39.000 You can objectively observe.
00:32:41.000 I've looked at a woman and went, what are you doing? 1.00
00:32:44.000 And it's just the guy's like, hey man, I've been doing this 11 years, but next year's the year.
00:32:51.000 And, you know, and they go, okay, I'll just work eight hours a day and you just get high, play video games and tweet.
00:32:58.000 And it's rough. 1.00
00:32:59.000 And those are the people that are like, all cops are bastards! 1.00
00:33:02.000 And I'm like, yeah, okay, great. 1.00
00:33:04.000 That helps.
00:33:05.000 Well, they also, they tune into the zeitgeist, right?
00:33:08.000 So they find out what is the...
00:33:10.000 They're just saying whatever they have to say.
00:33:12.000 What's the thing...
00:33:12.000 What do I have to say to get a job?
00:33:14.000 What's the phrase of the day to get people to think that I'm woke?
00:33:16.000 Yeah, how do I get a job on NBC's new series, you know, That Bitch Bad on Peacock? 1.00
00:33:22.000 It's streaming on Peacock, and I want to write on it, and I just want to go to these parties and take Adderall in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.
00:33:30.000 So what do I have to say?
00:33:32.000 I don't care what it is.
00:33:33.000 I'll just say it.
00:33:35.000 This is what I was going to say earlier.
00:33:36.000 I am legitimately worried that a part of what's going on online is being facilitated by foreign entities. 0.87
00:33:42.000 Sure. 1.00
00:33:43.000 And that they're manipulating people psychologically by pushing the envelope for this crazy shit. 1.00
00:33:48.000 Because the thing is, if you get enough people to push in a certain direction, a lot of these people that we're talking about legitimately are insane. 1.00
00:33:55.000 Right.
00:33:56.000 And they will back up. 1.00
00:33:59.000 I was looking at a guy who I know is a fucking professor who was saying that if you have sex with a 13-year-old, if that 13-year-old consents and enjoys it, who's a criminal? 0.99
00:34:12.000 What are you supposed to do about this? 0.99
00:34:14.000 Somebody sent me this and I was like, this is a guy who used to be on my podcast.
00:34:18.000 And I'm watching this argument.
00:34:20.000 I'm like, this is patently insane. 0.99
00:34:22.000 You're talking about a grown adult, a 40-year-old having sex with a 13-year-old? 0.98
00:34:26.000 A baby. 0.98
00:34:27.000 It's crazy. 1.00
00:34:28.000 It's fucking nuts. 1.00
00:34:29.000 It's absurd. 0.99
00:34:30.000 But these kind of ideas get promoted and pushed, and it gets to the point where people start accepting this as something that you should accept.
00:34:38.000 Right.
00:34:38.000 And they start pushing it.
00:34:39.000 And you gotta go, where is this fucking coming from? 0.99
00:34:41.000 Is this coming from a legitimate, delusional person that doesn't understand how human psychology is? 1.00
00:34:47.000 Or a person who is just a contrarian?
00:34:50.000 That whenever something is taboo in society, they're gonna go, well, why?
00:34:54.000 Why is it bad to kill old people? 1.00
00:34:56.000 Right. 1.00
00:34:56.000 Wouldn't it be better, you'd rather have them suffer, or just put a bullet in their head while they're sleeping? 1.00
00:35:01.000 You start seeing how someone could make really crazy fucking arguments for things, and you start wondering how many of these people that are pushing these crazy arguments actually believe it, and how much of it, because we know it's a certain percentage. 1.00
00:35:15.000 We know for a fact, from Renee DiResta's work with the Internet Research Agency, where she's gone over these Russian troll accounts, In Russia, literally, they have a farm where there's a fucking place, a building, where people are hired to fuck with people. 0.99
00:35:29.000 They're hired, they organized a Texas separatist convention across the street from a pro-Muslim convention just to facilitate a fight. 0.99
00:35:40.000 And they're doing this on purpose.
00:35:42.000 So they're manipulating, and they see this trend.
00:35:45.000 They see this trend of, Civil unrest, chaos in society, and there is no gender, and there's no...
00:35:51.000 I guarantee you, some of what's moving this stuff along is manipulation.
00:35:57.000 I bet it is, and I bet it's easier than they thought.
00:36:00.000 I bet if there are those... 0.91
00:36:01.000 I'm sure there are all those Russian troll farms, and there's Chinese... 1.00
00:36:03.000 They're like, this is shockingly easy. 0.94
00:36:06.000 I bet everyone takes lunch early.
00:36:08.000 I bet they throw out like two tweets.
00:36:10.000 They're like, we gotta really stay on them.
00:36:12.000 We gotta stay on them.
00:36:13.000 They go to their supervisor.
00:36:14.000 They go, you're not gonna believe this.
00:36:16.000 We worked for five minutes and they've taken it the rest of the way.
00:36:21.000 Because there's a lot of mentally unwell people here in this country.
00:36:23.000 There's a lot of people... 1.00
00:36:25.000 That are psychotic. 0.91
00:36:26.000 I mean, I have ants every day on Facebook that are telling you that Trump is still the president, he still has the nuclear codes.
00:36:32.000 And they're on Facebook assuring their Facebook feed, don't worry about it, Trump still has the nuclear codes.
00:36:38.000 And they're doing that in between sharing recipes for like, you know, Peach Melba.
00:36:42.000 We're a little wacky.
00:36:44.000 What was the thing that you tweeted the other day that this is the QAnon of the left?
00:36:47.000 It was the guy that was, there's a guy that's like, I'm in a restaurant, no one has a mask, and I am sick.
00:36:55.000 He goes like, I am scared and I feel like, and it's just this crazy, insane fucking thing where you go, dude, we're a year and a half in.
00:37:07.000 Large number of people are vaccinated. 0.92
00:37:08.000 A large number of people have had it already.
00:37:10.000 What are you doing?
00:37:12.000 And it's the QAnon of liberals.
00:37:13.000 They want, they need it. 0.98
00:37:15.000 Panic porn. 0.99
00:37:16.000 They need it. 0.90
00:37:17.000 They want it because it allows them to be morally upright and superior and it's fake.
00:37:27.000 So it doesn't matter.
00:37:28.000 Putting a mask on doesn't mean you're a good person.
00:37:30.000 It's like, great.
00:37:31.000 Okay, you were considerate, which was great.
00:37:33.000 It's the lowest level.
00:37:36.000 I've always said this.
00:37:36.000 I'm like, go to any of these people and go, you want to volunteer at a soup kitchen?
00:37:40.000 They'll stare at you like you're crazy.
00:37:42.000 They've never been to a shelter in their life.
00:37:44.000 They've never ladled.
00:37:45.000 Back in the day, to be a good person, you had to go to a shelter and ladle pea soup in a bowl and hand it to somebody.
00:37:54.000 And you had to volunteer.
00:37:56.000 You had to be a big brother, big sister.
00:37:58.000 And instead of kids going home...
00:38:01.000 It's like the least you can do.
00:38:03.000 It's just like you're just sitting in a restaurant, which is probably an expensive restaurant in Los Angeles, and the guy's looking around.
00:38:09.000 Like the first time I went to LA to have meetings after I did the Montreal Comedy Festival, a woman pulled up in a white Bentley. 1.00
00:38:15.000 We were sitting outside.
00:38:16.000 We both ordered Eggs Benedict.
00:38:18.000 She said, I'll have Eggs Benedict.
00:38:20.000 She goes, Avo on the side.
00:38:21.000 And then she goes like this to me.
00:38:23.000 She goes, you know, I never knew what it was like to live in fascism, and now I do.
00:38:28.000 And then she went on this whole thing about how we're living in a fascist country because Trump had been elected.
00:38:34.000 And she pulled up in a Bentley.
00:38:36.000 And we're sitting in this beautiful area of Los Angeles.
00:38:39.000 The sun's out.
00:38:40.000 Everybody's eating great food.
00:38:42.000 And in her mind, this was her struggle session.
00:38:46.000 This was her thing.
00:38:47.000 And I think something broke.
00:38:49.000 When Trump won, something broke.
00:38:52.000 And I don't know what it is, and it might take years later to find out what it is, but I think just the idea that he could win fucked people up.
00:39:00.000 Well, it was a combination of events, right?
00:39:02.000 Yeah.
00:39:02.000 There's Trump winning, the chaos involved, and all the people that were convinced that Trump was somehow or another going to lose.
00:39:09.000 Right.
00:39:10.000 And that then he won, and then they couldn't believe that he was the president, and then they thought he was going to go to jail. 0.99
00:39:15.000 What's that fucking crazy guy with the glasses that was always ranting and raving from a basement on GQ? That guy. 1.00
00:39:22.000 That fucking lunatic. 1.00
00:39:24.000 He was out of his mind. 1.00
00:39:25.000 Still is. 1.00
00:39:25.000 Out of his fucking mind. 1.00
00:39:26.000 And ranting and raving like, it's imminent. 1.00
00:39:28.000 He's going to jail any moment now.
00:39:30.000 And he was doing this fake...
00:39:34.000 What's that guy's name?
00:39:35.000 Murrow?
00:39:36.000 Edward R. Murrow.
00:39:37.000 He's doing a version of that.
00:39:39.000 Right.
00:39:40.000 And so everybody was frothing at the mouth.
00:39:42.000 Yeah.
00:39:42.000 Then we get to the end of Trump's reign.
00:39:45.000 Yeah, nothing happened.
00:39:46.000 Nothing happens, but then the Capitol Hill attack.
00:39:49.000 And then those people on the other side are at it, their minds going like, he's still the president.
00:39:54.000 Well, I've been reading things about the Capitol Hill attack that have been fascinating.
00:39:57.000 Really?
00:39:58.000 There's a lot of people that believe that informants, and not just informants, but people working for the government were a part of the manipulation of the Capitol Hill attack the same way...
00:40:08.000 You know the story...
00:40:09.000 We talked about it before recently in the podcast about there was a 19-year-old kind of dumb kid who the FBI tricked this kid into thinking that he had a bomb and detonating this bomb. 0.91
00:40:21.000 They talked him into it. 0.90
00:40:22.000 They made him an extremist. 0.93
00:40:24.000 They gave him the bomb, gave him a cell phone to detonate the bomb. 0.85
00:40:28.000 He tries to detonate the bomb.
00:40:31.000 And then the FBI arrests him. 0.99
00:40:33.000 And he's in jail for fucking the rest of his life or whatever. 0.99
00:40:35.000 But they manipulated him and got him to the point where he acted. 0.99
00:40:39.000 And there's people that are saying that there's some people that believe.
00:40:44.000 And I've got to be careful how I say this because I don't know what's real and what's not.
00:40:47.000 No, let's get a good clip. 0.89
00:40:48.000 Just speak.
00:40:51.000 Let's do numbers.
00:40:52.000 There are people that believe that there was some manipulation involved in some of these extremist groups.
00:40:57.000 Some of these pro-Trump extremist groups and that they talked these people into attacking the Capitol Hill building.
00:41:04.000 Now here's where it gets weird.
00:41:05.000 Have you ever seen the videos of cops opening up the gates?
00:41:08.000 That is very strange.
00:41:09.000 And letting people through?
00:41:09.000 I have.
00:41:10.000 Where's the explanation to what the fuck is going on there? 0.98
00:41:12.000 That I don't know. 0.98
00:41:13.000 I've heard that.
00:41:14.000 Let's look at that. 1.00
00:41:14.000 Let's look at the videos because they're fucking nuts. 1.00
00:41:17.000 Listen, this is the whole Boston Marathon bombing where the FBI knew who these guys were. 0.99
00:41:21.000 They had maybe recruited them as informants.
00:41:23.000 Russian intelligence came out and said, you know exactly who these people are.
00:41:26.000 They were allowed to travel to Dagestan and back all the time.
00:41:30.000 I believe that the FBI had...
00:41:34.000 When they had a trial, they put special administrative measures on the trial, meaning that you didn't hear one peep out of that trial.
00:41:41.000 The cameras weren't allowed in the court.
00:41:42.000 It was a very closed proceeding, and now the one guy that's alive is locked up in Florence, ADX, Colorado prison, and no one can speak to him or get to him.
00:41:51.000 Clearly, every movement from Cointelpro to anything, I mean, Oklahoma City bombing, people say that McVeigh was part of a group that they were surveying and they had informants and they were trying to recruit people.
00:42:03.000 And a lot of times these things go wrong organically.
00:42:06.000 Or the other thing is, do they go wrong because they're allowed to go wrong or encouraged to go wrong?
00:42:12.000 Well, this was the Alex Jones take, that they allowed it to go wrong so that they can install new laws and that they can institute these new laws to survey people.
00:42:22.000 Yeah, Trump's speech was very incendiary.
00:42:25.000 He was very much like, they're doing it in there.
00:42:27.000 He's pointing at the Capitol.
00:42:28.000 No doubt.
00:42:28.000 They're doing it in there.
00:42:30.000 Pence is doing it in there.
00:42:32.000 Did you say Pence was doing it?
00:42:34.000 Yeah, I mean, if you break down his speech, you look at it, and he was talking, it was all present tense.
00:42:39.000 It wasn't like, it's done, it's over.
00:42:40.000 It was like, it's happening now.
00:42:43.000 So watch this. 1.00
00:42:44.000 The police open the fucking gates. 1.00
00:42:46.000 Look at this. 1.00
00:42:47.000 So here's the cops. 1.00
00:42:48.000 The cops are literally opening the gates and stepping aside, and look at this fucking hoodlum. 0.99
00:42:54.000 It's calling these people through. 1.00
00:42:56.000 So this is literally insanity.
00:43:01.000 It's insane.
00:43:02.000 And the cops were taking selfies with some of these people.
00:43:04.000 So I think some of these people were like MAGA cops, right?
00:43:08.000 So they thought it was a good idea that these people were attacking the Capitol building.
00:43:11.000 They were like, they're just having a little fun.
00:43:13.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:43:14.000 The fact that a guy thought he could walk through with a fucking conservative flag. 0.99
00:43:17.000 Who was the guy with the- Look at that guy. 0.99
00:43:19.000 Yeah.
00:43:20.000 I mean, the guy with the horns and the hat, Jake Angeli.
00:43:25.000 And he should be.
00:43:26.000 I mean, he charged into the Capitol.
00:43:27.000 But it was very cartoonish.
00:43:30.000 It looked like a high school theater group that had lost their minds.
00:43:34.000 Well, it's a bunch of kids living in their parents' house.
00:43:36.000 Yeah, well, it's old people. 1.00
00:43:37.000 These are like old people. 1.00
00:43:38.000 That guy with the hat, the buffalo hat, lives at his parents' house. 1.00
00:43:41.000 He's a loser. 0.99
00:43:42.000 I'm sure that they absolutely had people in there. 0.99
00:43:45.000 I think, you know, when you look at a lot of far alt-right figures that just disappear, a lot of those guys are probably feds.
00:43:52.000 There's probably feds in Antifa.
00:43:54.000 I'm sure there are because if they're not, they're not doing their job, right?
00:43:57.000 They have to be there and they have to monitor these groups and they have to get information. 0.97
00:44:01.000 Well, I bet they also manipulate them and get them to do wild shit so they can arrest them. 0.93
00:44:05.000 And it delegitimizes any of, you know, there was a great argument about the hippie movement in America. 0.98
00:44:11.000 The hippie movement in America, the Vietnam War, opposition to the Vietnam War started with the Catholic Church.
00:44:16.000 It started with priests.
00:44:20.000 It started with people that were saying, we're against, we're nonviolent, we don't think we should do this, it's not our fight.
00:44:25.000 And then it became drenched in psychedelic drugs.
00:44:28.000 It became about free love.
00:44:30.000 And if you look at who's pushing all of that, it is a lot of these...
00:44:37.000 Interesting cults and groups that have real ties to U.S. intelligence.
00:44:41.000 And that's a fact.
00:44:43.000 And it doesn't mean that it wouldn't have happened anyway.
00:44:45.000 Maybe they sped it up.
00:44:46.000 Maybe they accelerated it.
00:44:47.000 But you're looking at, you know, the CIA working with Timothy Leary.
00:44:51.000 You're looking at a lot of those weird cults and stuff having some relationship with intelligence.
00:44:57.000 And if you look at, like, especially California and Laurel Canyon and that area, it is very, very strange.
00:45:03.000 That book, you had that guy on your show.
00:45:05.000 Chaos.
00:45:05.000 Tom O'Neill.
00:45:06.000 Yeah, Tom O'Neill.
00:45:06.000 An incredible book.
00:45:08.000 And I brought it up the other day with Quentin Tarantino, and Tarantino had read it as well.
00:45:12.000 Yeah.
00:45:13.000 Did he say he read it after he wrote the script?
00:45:15.000 I think he said he talked to him for sure.
00:45:19.000 Yeah.
00:45:19.000 I think it was after, though.
00:45:20.000 Yeah, I think after he really did the deep dive and found out how fucking crazy the whole CIA experiments with LSD are. 0.92
00:45:27.000 Oh, yeah. 0.65
00:45:28.000 To the point where my wife's mom was a hippie in Haight-Ashbury back in the Diz-A. And now if you met her, she's like...
00:45:36.000 Super nice grandma right you would never imagine right but back in the day She used to go to the Haight-Ashbury free clinic which was literally run by the CIA And that's where Manson and all those guys were getting acid from right and then right after Tom O'Neil's book comes out that the fucking Haight-Ashbury free clinic had been around for decades right after Tom O'Neil's book a couple months later.
00:45:59.000 Yeah gone They shut it down.
00:46:01.000 It's crazy.
00:46:01.000 It was a part of Operation Midnight Climax.
00:46:03.000 Yes.
00:46:04.000 All those people dosing people with acid.
00:46:06.000 Well, that's the whole thing.
00:46:07.000 And then if you look at Operation Mockingbird, how far the CIA is entrenched into the media and how far all the media narratives are being sculpted by a lot of the U.S. intelligence people and then a lot of the social movements that we think are just organic grassroots movements are either started,
00:46:24.000 encouraged, or co-opted by...
00:46:26.000 So everything's possible.
00:46:27.000 Anything is possible.
00:46:28.000 It is that nuts.
00:46:29.000 Absolutely anything is possible.
00:46:30.000 When you saw the riots in LA and you saw these teams of people burning cars.
00:46:37.000 The recent riots?
00:46:38.000 The George Floyd?
00:46:39.000 The George Floyd riots, but there were like teams of really skilled people going in there and like there were cop cars that were like abandoned.
00:46:46.000 Why are there cop cars abandoned?
00:46:48.000 Who's abandoning a cop car in the middle of a street before the riot?
00:46:51.000 Weird things happen where you start seeing yourself like, I think the idea that chaos makes people more compliant and makes people go, hey, whatever new laws you guys need to pass, do it.
00:47:03.000 How about the pallets of rocks and bricks that were left around?
00:47:07.000 Crazy. 1.00
00:47:08.000 That's real shit. 1.00
00:47:09.000 It's crazy. 1.00
00:47:10.000 And people say, oh, this is a baseless conspiracy theory.
00:47:13.000 There were actual construction jobs going on at the time.
00:47:17.000 Yeah, no.
00:47:18.000 Nonsense.
00:47:18.000 Take it from someone who's worked in construction.
00:47:20.000 They don't just pull fucking pallets of bricks and leave them laying around where they know there's going to be riots. 0.96
00:47:26.000 It's an absolute possibility that no matter what... 0.98
00:47:29.000 If there is a threat to the mainstream, if there is a threat to the system...
00:47:33.000 Making those people seem as extreme as humanly possible, and a lot of them are, but making them seem really crazy and really violent delegitimizes all of their good points.
00:47:44.000 And what it allows is it allows people to then dismiss anything that comes from that group or that base of ideas. 0.97
00:47:56.000 Did anybody ever do an investigation on the plates of the pallets of bricks, like a legitimate independent organization, do an investigation to figure out what the fuck was going on?
00:48:07.000 Because so many people that were showing up at these protests, and even where there were no construction sites, would find these pallets of bricks.
00:48:15.000 Pallets of bricks. 0.99
00:48:16.000 Like, what in the fuck? 1.00
00:48:18.000 People, it's crazy. 1.00
00:48:20.000 And then you start thinking about, you're like, oh my god, is anything real?
00:48:23.000 Or are we just living in a video game that people are arranging pretty much everything?
00:48:28.000 We're looking at all these events and we're thinking they're all organic.
00:48:31.000 And what they allow us to do is no matter what the events are, whether it's Antifa or whether it's a Capitol riot, we just go, well, the other side is nuts. 0.98
00:48:37.000 But what if it's really just a group of people kind of really helping curate this division so that they can remain in power and fuck kids on Epstein's Island? 0.98
00:48:48.000 That's the most insidious possibility, right? 0.99
00:48:52.000 That is the most insidious possibility.
00:48:54.000 That's crazy.
00:48:54.000 Things have gotten to the point where, you know, Antifa now, because you can get in trouble for carrying weapons, now they carry frying pans.
00:49:01.000 They're hitting people over the head with frying pans.
00:49:03.000 They're saying, well, we're on our way to go cook.
00:49:06.000 And so they have cast iron frying pans.
00:49:09.000 Hilarious.
00:49:09.000 They're heavy.
00:49:10.000 It's a great weapon.
00:49:11.000 It's a great weapon.
00:49:12.000 There's a, what is it called?
00:49:16.000 There's one company in New York.
00:49:19.000 That makes them.
00:49:20.000 That makes a great one because it makes a really long cast iron handle.
00:49:24.000 Okay.
00:49:25.000 So you could grab it even when it's hot.
00:49:27.000 I have it.
00:49:27.000 My friend got me that.
00:49:28.000 Yeah.
00:49:28.000 Oh, okay.
00:49:29.000 And we make every steak or burger on that.
00:49:31.000 Yeah, they're great.
00:49:32.000 And pork chops, everything.
00:49:33.000 Yeah.
00:49:34.000 Everything's good.
00:49:34.000 I found out about it from Bourdain because Bourdain had this video that he was doing, this video series he was doing on YouTube where he would go to visit people that were making things.
00:49:43.000 And there was a place in Brooklyn, and they basically take, like, brake rotors, which are cast iron brake rotors, and they would melt these old rotors down and turn them into frying pans.
00:49:55.000 Wow.
00:49:55.000 So they had a whole, you know, what are those things called?
00:50:00.000 Furnace, what is it called? 0.99
00:50:02.000 When they do that, when they're making knives and shit, they're casting them, you know, what the fuck is that called? 1.00
00:50:10.000 Kill them? 1.00
00:50:11.000 It's like a kiln, but there's another word for it when they're doing it with metal. 0.99
00:50:15.000 Smolting or something?
00:50:16.000 I think it was forged.
00:50:17.000 So they're like the company's something forged, and they make these really cool frying pans with a nice long handle. 0.97
00:50:23.000 You can really bash a fascist over the head with it.
00:50:26.000 I love the idea that this company is going, we're doing great business in Seattle. 0.99
00:50:30.000 They go, we're killing it in Portland.
00:50:32.000 We had no idea.
00:50:34.000 Everybody loves cooking.
00:50:35.000 It's very strange when you start zooming out and you start going, what do we know?
00:50:42.000 And what is real and what isn't real?
00:50:44.000 We know so many crazy people.
00:50:45.000 That's why everything's believable. 1.00
00:50:47.000 Because we know so many fucking lunatics that we go, listen, people are just crazy. 1.00
00:50:51.000 But that being said, the powers that be know they're crazy. 1.00
00:50:54.000 And you can easily steer them to...
00:50:57.000 Do anything, you know?
00:50:59.000 And sometimes they don't even need to be steered.
00:51:00.000 They're just there. 0.95
00:51:01.000 Well, and the idea that we've stopped manipulating the population is ridiculous.
00:51:05.000 Why would they do that?
00:51:05.000 It's always been very effective.
00:51:07.000 Why would they stop it?
00:51:07.000 They did it through the 60s.
00:51:08.000 They did it through the 70s.
00:51:09.000 Well, I love that Pentagon just came out and they were like, hey, ISIS is still a threat. 0.96
00:51:12.000 Everyone's like, shut up. 1.00
00:51:14.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:51:15.000 Enough. 1.00
00:51:16.000 People are like, no, they're like, no, no, no, there's still a threat.
00:51:18.000 They go, not only is it not a threat, but you guys can't come back four years later.
00:51:23.000 I mean, it's an old bit.
00:51:25.000 It's like a comic doing an old bit.
00:51:26.000 You go, that was on your special.
00:51:28.000 That was on your special three years ago.
00:51:30.000 You're doing ISIS? You're closing with ISIS? You can't do it.
00:51:35.000 And again, I think it's just people need to be controlled.
00:51:39.000 And they'll do it through tech.
00:51:43.000 Which is why it's fucked up what happened to the Weinsteins, who are, I don't know if you know this, massive fans of yours truly.
00:51:50.000 Weinsteins.
00:51:50.000 Is it Weinsteins?
00:51:51.000 Yeah.
00:51:52.000 Weinstein is Harvey, Weinstein is Eric and Brett.
00:51:55.000 They're not related?
00:51:56.000 No.
00:51:56.000 Kidding.
00:51:56.000 Clip that.
00:51:57.000 Anyway. 0.99
00:51:59.000 I think it was so fucked up that they were demonetized. 0.99
00:52:02.000 I think it's crazy and I think that's really what they're going to do. 0.99
00:52:06.000 They're going to make it not profitable to go against the grain.
00:52:10.000 Yes.
00:52:11.000 And then once it's not profitable, less people do it.
00:52:15.000 Exactly.
00:52:15.000 And then, they've won.
00:52:17.000 Well, demonetizing was something that troubled me on YouTube, particularly because it's a form of self-censorship.
00:52:24.000 You find out, like, they would demonetize a certain percentage of our videos.
00:52:27.000 And you would find out about it, like, Jamie would go, they demonetized that video.
00:52:32.000 We'd be like, why?
00:52:33.000 I could do all you talked about the election or all you talked about we didn't say anything bad crazy.
00:52:38.000 It was it was nuts It was like there's certain subjects where you couldn't touch and if you touch them Automatically you're and then you'd have to appeal and sometimes you'd win the appeal and sometimes you didn't here's when we found out That it was all horseshit right as soon as we switched over Spotify because when we switched over to Spotify magically All of our videos were available for monetization.
00:53:00.000 So for the three months that we were on YouTube and Spotify, where it was on both, they let us monetize everything because they wanted to make the money off of it.
00:53:11.000 They're like, look, he's leaving, he's going to go to Spotify.
00:53:13.000 So it was based in nothing.
00:53:16.000 Well, it's based on arbitrary decision making by a bunch of people that work there.
00:53:20.000 So it's incredibly subjective. 0.98
00:53:22.000 So you decide, you know this fucking Tim Dillon guy and his Meghan McCain impression. 1.00
00:53:25.000 Fuck him. 1.00
00:53:26.000 Demonetize. 1.00
00:53:27.000 Left the view, by the way.
00:53:28.000 She left the view.
00:53:29.000 Well, she's free to be on your show now. 0.58
00:53:30.000 We wish her well.
00:53:31.000 Imagine you as her on your show interviewing her.
00:53:34.000 I would love to interview her as her, but I think there's such a... 0.87
00:53:38.000 Small chance?
00:53:39.000 Small chance.
00:53:41.000 So you're saying there's a chance.
00:53:42.000 That's going to happen.
00:53:42.000 Yes, there is a chance, but it's not big.
00:53:45.000 What if I helped her?
00:53:46.000 What if I was there?
00:53:47.000 What if I was there as a moderator?
00:53:49.000 You want to organize it, I'll show up.
00:53:51.000 I would do it.
00:53:52.000 I absolutely would show up.
00:53:53.000 But you and her together on this show?
00:53:54.000 Well, I don't think I should do it the whole time, but I think it'd be fun to interview her for five minutes and then say, Hey, Megan, I get it.
00:54:00.000 I also hate Joy Behar.
00:54:01.000 So I don't love you, but I also hate that squawking bird.
00:54:05.000 So I hate the whole thing.
00:54:07.000 And frankly, that show, you want to talk about a show that set women back, is The View. 0.99
00:54:12.000 You want to talk about that show, if the CIA is engineering Antifa and fucking the Capitol riot, some crazy misogynist engineered The View. 0.99
00:54:22.000 Because there's nothing worse than The View. 0.97
00:54:24.000 In terms of like, there are so many brilliant women out there, none of them are on The View. 1.00
00:54:29.000 None of them have gone near the set of The View.
00:54:32.000 I mean, they have brought in the lowest tier of the Y chromosome? 0.86
00:54:38.000 No, XX. They brought in the lowest of the XXs for that one.
00:54:43.000 It's rough.
00:54:45.000 Yeah, did you watch the episode when Tulsi Gabbard got on to defend herself and Joy Behar starts panicking, going over her notes while Tulsi is refuting everything that she said?
00:54:53.000 Yeah, I mean, Joy Behar, like, again, these people have dementia.
00:54:57.000 These are people who, like, should not be allowed out of the house.
00:55:00.000 They have a national platform.
00:55:02.000 I mean, it is crazy.
00:55:05.000 They have no idea.
00:55:06.000 These people have never read, like, a book.
00:55:08.000 And there's versions of it.
00:55:10.000 Yes.
00:55:10.000 Like, then the other one with Sharon Osbourne.
00:55:12.000 Yeah.
00:55:13.000 What did Sharon... 1.00
00:55:14.000 She said something racially insensitive?
00:55:15.000 I think she said that she doesn't, like...
00:55:20.000 I think she said, why is Piers Morgan racist?
00:55:22.000 I don't even think it was that bad.
00:55:23.000 She's friends with Piers Morgan, right?
00:55:25.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:55:25.000 The thing that makes me pause is Cheryl Underwood is cool as fuck. 0.99
00:55:29.000 I know Cheryl Underwood. 0.95
00:55:30.000 Yeah, I don't know any of them. 0.98
00:55:31.000 She's cool as fuck. 0.91
00:55:32.000 I know her forever. 0.99
00:55:33.000 I did Montreal Comedy Festival with her back in the day. 0.98
00:55:36.000 She's fucking hilarious. 1.00
00:55:38.000 You ever seen her stand-up? 0.99
00:55:39.000 I know that she's great because I know people that know her, but I know her.
00:55:42.000 Murders. 0.99
00:55:42.000 She murders. 0.99
00:55:43.000 She goes on stage with her purse.
00:55:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:45.000 She's funny.
00:55:46.000 Really funny, man.
00:55:47.000 Really funny. 0.99
00:55:47.000 And cool as fuck. 0.99
00:55:49.000 So if she doesn't like her, I gotta go, mmm, man. 0.99
00:55:52.000 You know what I mean?
00:55:53.000 Yeah, there's probably something there.
00:55:55.000 There's probably something there. 0.99
00:55:56.000 I don't know, but I remember when she was making fun of the guy who got his dick chopped off and the wife threw it in the blender, or threw it in the garbage disposal, and she was laughing about what it must have looked like. 0.99
00:56:08.000 No one wants that. 0.98
00:56:10.000 She's not anybody's choice.
00:56:11.000 But that's a crazy thing to laugh at. 1.00
00:56:13.000 A guy getting his dick chopped off and he's getting mutilated. 1.00
00:56:18.000 His humanity is taken from him. 1.00
00:56:20.000 His manhood is literally getting ground up.
00:56:23.000 And she thought it was funny.
00:56:24.000 But again, people think things are funny because they don't think about the person they're making fun of.
00:56:30.000 You and I are both guilty of doing that.
00:56:31.000 Of course.
00:56:32.000 As comics.
00:56:33.000 Absolutely.
00:56:34.000 But that one was particularly rough.
00:56:35.000 You're like, wow.
00:56:36.000 Well, it started a few and then they have all these ones.
00:56:39.000 They're like, the talk.
00:56:40.000 Yeah.
00:56:41.000 That's profitable.
00:56:42.000 And then everyone gets like C-list and then D-list and then they're like resurrecting sitcom stars from the 80s.
00:56:48.000 They're like, what do you think about Palestine?
00:56:50.000 It's like, what are we doing here?
00:56:51.000 We don't need any of these people's opinions. 0.98
00:56:54.000 Yeah, it's a fucking weird thing, man. 0.95
00:56:58.000 Sherry Shepard, she used to be on The View as well. 0.96
00:57:01.000 She's really nice too.
00:57:02.000 She was always at the store. 0.99
00:57:03.000 She's always cool as fuck. 0.99
00:57:04.000 I'm sure they're all nice. 0.97
00:57:06.000 She was really nice.
00:57:07.000 Sherry Shepard is a really nice lady.
00:57:09.000 And she's also super religious.
00:57:12.000 She's a God-fearing Christian woman, like full stop. 1.00
00:57:16.000 Can I suggest a thing for The View?
00:57:20.000 This is a suggestion I have.
00:57:21.000 Men!
00:57:22.000 No chance.
00:57:23.000 Just men On the show. 0.98
00:57:26.000 But women watch it. 1.00
00:57:28.000 See, that's the thing.
00:57:28.000 It's like, it's a lot of it is women that are home, right?
00:57:31.000 During that time.
00:57:32.000 It airs during the day.
00:57:33.000 What if we put the women in the audience and that the men discuss the issues? 1.00
00:57:38.000 This is just an idea I have for ABC. Corporate.
00:57:41.000 Well, clearly...
00:57:42.000 Or have one woman serve everyone drinks and give her a quick opinion. 1.00
00:57:47.000 Quick.
00:57:48.000 In and out.
00:57:48.000 Just go like...
00:57:49.000 And then the guys go...
00:57:50.000 Just go...
00:57:50.000 She walks in, she goes, yeah, Israel seems like it.
00:57:53.000 They go, thanks.
00:57:54.000 And then they keep going.
00:57:55.000 I think that's a happy medium.
00:57:56.000 Why doesn't The View have any trans women on it? 1.00
00:57:58.000 Great point.
00:57:59.000 It has a lot of women that look trans, but none of them... 1.00
00:58:04.000 It has a lot of second and third takes.
00:58:07.000 After a drink, you'd go, huh?
00:58:09.000 But it doesn't have a ton of...
00:58:11.000 Yeah.
00:58:11.000 It's zero.
00:58:12.000 I agree. 0.93
00:58:13.000 It should be all trans women. 0.99
00:58:15.000 Imagine.
00:58:15.000 The best era of the view, and I've talked about it before, was when Rosie O'Donnell was talking about Building 7. Yeah.
00:58:20.000 That was the best.
00:58:20.000 That I watched.
00:58:21.000 That was back in the day.
00:58:23.000 That was back in the day.
00:58:24.000 Here's a good example.
00:58:25.000 Here's a good example why the discussion about Building 7 and the collapse is not valid.
00:58:31.000 It is.
00:58:32.000 It's so valid.
00:58:32.000 But here's why.
00:58:33.000 Here's why.
00:58:34.000 This building in Miami that just collapsed.
00:58:36.000 Yes.
00:58:36.000 It collapsed the exact same way.
00:58:37.000 No, it didn't.
00:58:38.000 Half of it's still there.
00:58:39.000 Right.
00:58:40.000 Building 7 came down.
00:58:40.000 But the part that came down, came down the exact same way.
00:58:44.000 Sure.
00:58:44.000 Came down like a controlled demolition.
00:58:45.000 But it didn't all come down.
00:58:46.000 Right, because the whole thing wasn't on fire from the basement with giant diesel tanks.
00:58:50.000 Like Building 7. But it was built in a very fucked up way. 0.99
00:58:53.000 I think we're going to find out how fucked up it was built. 0.99
00:58:55.000 Building 7, to believe that, we'd have to believe that Building 7 was done on the cheap. 0.98
00:59:00.000 Building 7 was like this massive building that really didn't have any structural problems.
00:59:04.000 It was on fire for a few hours, and then it fell entirely.
00:59:08.000 Yeah, but it fell slowly.
00:59:10.000 You know, the middle of it fell first.
00:59:12.000 There's a guy that had a great YouTube video, and I'd love to talk to you about this.
00:59:15.000 I'm excited we're talking about this.
00:59:16.000 There's a guy who had a great YouTube video, and he was a full-on 9-11 truther. 0.89
00:59:21.000 Yes.
00:59:21.000 But then he did a deeper dive into understanding what was going on during the fire and how the thing collapsed.
00:59:27.000 And the videos that you would watch would show the whole thing collapse at free-fall speeds.
00:59:31.000 He was like, what they didn't show you is that minutes before that, the center of it had collapsed.
00:59:37.000 Right.
00:59:37.000 So if you watch the roofline, there's like these boxes or these structures, top of the structure.
00:59:43.000 You see that stuff go boom and fall through. 0.79
00:59:46.000 So shit was already deteriorating, raging fires from the basement, which apparently, wasn't there like diesel tanks in the basement? 0.96
00:59:54.000 Was that what was going on? 1.00
00:59:55.000 And there was like a fucking serious fire. 0.91
00:59:59.000 Deteriorated the whole thing, it's lit on fire, all the steel gets weakened, all the concrete gets weakened, it caves in at the top, and then one of the top floors goes, and then the whole thing caves in. 0.91
01:00:10.000 Did he do a deep dive into why we left 17 pages out of the 9-11 Commission report that protected Saudi Arabia?
01:00:16.000 Four days after the attack, Bandar, Prince Bandar, was on the balcony of the White House with the President of the United States.
01:00:25.000 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.
01:00:27.000 We completely exempted them from any culpability and attacked two countries that had nothing to do with it.
01:00:33.000 Well, that is a real conspiracy. 0.99
01:00:35.000 Well, that's fucking crazy. 0.99
01:00:37.000 Yeah, it is fucking crazy, but it doesn't mean that the building was a controlled demolition. 0.99
01:00:42.000 I don't know that it... 0.96
01:00:43.000 Listen, that building collapsed in a very strange way for a building that was not hit by anything.
01:00:48.000 But it was destroyed.
01:00:49.000 The parts of the building were destroyed. 0.92
01:00:50.000 There was big chunks of the building that were fucked up, and there was a raging fire.
01:00:54.000 I understand that. 0.57
01:00:55.000 What do you think happened?
01:00:57.000 You think they detonated it?
01:00:58.000 I don't know that we'll ever know.
01:00:59.000 Why is Larry Silverstein saying, pull it?
01:01:03.000 Yeah, what did that mean?
01:01:04.000 What did that mean?
01:01:05.000 I don't know.
01:01:06.000 Maybe it means something.
01:01:06.000 I don't know.
01:01:08.000 How are they making...
01:01:09.000 I can't get service on my phone when I take off.
01:01:12.000 How are you making a phone call at 25,000 feet in the air from a cell phone telling them we love you?
01:01:19.000 Is that real though?
01:01:19.000 Yeah!
01:01:20.000 But did people really do that?
01:01:22.000 They said they did.
01:01:24.000 But that was the flight that many people believe got shot down.
01:01:28.000 You know that story?
01:01:30.000 Yeah, that's potentially true.
01:01:31.000 Potentially very true. 0.63
01:01:33.000 Because this was one that was heading...
01:01:35.000 There was a few flights.
01:01:35.000 The best documentary is called 9-11, The New Pearl Harbor.
01:01:38.000 It's five hours.
01:01:39.000 It's made by a guy named Massimo Mazzucco.
01:01:41.000 A rainy day in Austin, which we have a few of.
01:01:44.000 I'm telling you, I watched it to debunk it.
01:01:47.000 It is very difficult to not come away from it going, hey, at least I don't understand what happened.
01:01:52.000 I don't know why there's not a video of the plane hitting the Pentagon.
01:01:56.000 There's 80 security cameras.
01:01:57.000 There's not one video.
01:01:59.000 There is a video.
01:02:00.000 There's absolutely not.
01:02:01.000 There's a video of it.
01:02:02.000 Not of a plane hitting the Pentagon.
01:02:03.000 There's a video of something hitting it.
01:02:04.000 It's a fireball. 0.99
01:02:05.000 No, it's an object that slams into the Pentagon with one of those shitty... 1.00
01:02:11.000 Those cameras are shitty. 0.99
01:02:13.000 Those security cameras, especially security cameras in 2001, they're really shitty cameras. 0.98
01:02:17.000 But you can see this thing hit the Pentagon.
01:02:21.000 What looks like the nose of a plane, it's a fireball.
01:02:24.000 It's hard to tell what it is.
01:02:25.000 It does not look like a 737. But if a 737, whatever it is, is going 500 miles an hour with a shitty video camera. 0.88
01:02:32.000 Show us another angle. 0.69
01:02:34.000 They don't have another angle.
01:02:35.000 There's 80 angles.
01:02:36.000 No, no, no.
01:02:36.000 There's 80 cameras.
01:02:37.000 How is there not another angle?
01:02:39.000 Top secret.
01:02:39.000 We're protecting you.
01:02:40.000 Yeah.
01:02:40.000 Well, thanks.
01:02:41.000 Thanks.
01:02:42.000 The 9-11 Commission reports that this was set up to fail.
01:02:44.000 Oh, here it is.
01:02:45.000 Here's the plane.
01:02:46.000 Here's the video.
01:02:46.000 Let's see it.
01:02:47.000 That's not a plane.
01:02:48.000 What is it?
01:02:48.000 It's not a plane.
01:02:49.000 Let me see it again.
01:02:49.000 I have no idea what it is.
01:02:50.000 You know it's not a plane.
01:02:51.000 That is Joe.
01:02:52.000 That's a plane.
01:02:53.000 That is not a plane.
01:02:53.000 It's not a plane?
01:02:54.000 Not a plane.
01:02:55.000 Jamie?
01:02:55.000 I don't know.
01:02:56.000 That's pretty quick.
01:02:57.000 That's not a plane.
01:02:58.000 What is that?
01:02:59.000 That little thing?
01:03:00.000 Oh, you know what?
01:03:01.000 That's not a plane.
01:03:02.000 That's not a plane.
01:03:03.000 Wait a minute.
01:03:04.000 That's not a plane.
01:03:05.000 It's just what it is.
01:03:06.000 Hold on a second.
01:03:07.000 It's not a plane.
01:03:08.000 Well, first of all, how big is a 737?
01:03:11.000 How many people are on that pitch?
01:03:12.000 A lot.
01:03:13.000 Say that again. 0.71
01:03:14.000 Play it again, Jamie.
01:03:15.000 Let me see it again.
01:03:17.000 That's a plane.
01:03:18.000 That's not a plane.
01:03:19.000 No, it's not.
01:03:20.000 Wait a minute.
01:03:20.000 Let's see it again.
01:03:21.000 See it again.
01:03:21.000 Okay.
01:03:23.000 Right there.
01:03:24.000 What's that?
01:03:25.000 That's a plane.
01:03:26.000 Not a 737. How do you know?
01:03:28.000 I'm telling you.
01:03:29.000 But if that building is as big as I think it is, that might be a plane.
01:03:33.000 First of all...
01:03:33.000 Jamie, can I get your take on it?
01:03:36.000 It...
01:03:37.000 What do you think that is?
01:03:39.000 It's plain size.
01:03:39.000 Jamie's controlled.
01:03:40.000 There's not a lot to look at here, right?
01:03:42.000 That's kind of plain size.
01:03:43.000 How far away do you think that explosion is from where the camera is?
01:03:47.000 Well, listen, you know when you're going into LAX and you're driving down that road and the planes are flying right over your head?
01:03:53.000 Tell me that's not a small-sized plane.
01:03:55.000 It's not a 747. I know it's flying like 10 feet off the ground.
01:03:57.000 Right, but it's landing.
01:03:58.000 It's coming in to land full clip because it's going to slam into the building.
01:04:02.000 When it hit the building.
01:04:02.000 The building's only like five stories or something.
01:04:04.000 Some of the heaviest part of the plane is the wings, right?
01:04:08.000 They're the heaviest part of the plane.
01:04:09.000 The fuselage, the middle of the plane, is relatively less heavy.
01:04:12.000 It's where the people are, this, that, and the other thing.
01:04:14.000 The wings don't really make any impact.
01:04:17.000 It just goes in, which would make no sense.
01:04:19.000 Hold on.
01:04:19.000 The fuselage should Pepsi count.
01:04:20.000 No, no, no.
01:04:21.000 Do you know why the wings are heavy?
01:04:23.000 Why?
01:04:23.000 Because they're filled with fuel.
01:04:25.000 But they should have snapped off.
01:04:26.000 Where are they?
01:04:27.000 They blew up in a fire, man. 1.00
01:04:29.000 There's chunks of fucking plane all over the lawn. 0.99
01:04:32.000 I don't know. 0.99
01:04:34.000 I don't know.
01:04:35.000 Just show us a picture.
01:04:36.000 I don't know, but I'm loving this argument.
01:04:38.000 I love these arguments.
01:04:39.000 Here's the deal.
01:04:40.000 The wings...
01:04:41.000 The idea that...
01:04:42.000 What do you think, Jamie?
01:04:44.000 I haven't looked at the Pentagon one in a long time.
01:04:47.000 I do feel like...
01:04:50.000 There were not that bad of security cameras all over the place.
01:04:55.000 There's 80 cameras.
01:04:56.000 Just show us.
01:04:57.000 I will shut my fat mouth and never bring this up again if you just show me a photo of a video, even a grainy one, of something that's a plane going into the Pentagon. 0.76
01:05:07.000 Oh, okay, we'll show you. 0.97
01:05:08.000 Show him again, Jamie.
01:05:09.000 This is not a plane.
01:05:11.000 He wasn't paying attention.
01:05:12.000 Show him again.
01:05:12.000 This is not a plane.
01:05:13.000 What is it?
01:05:14.000 And by the way, this is a doctored video.
01:05:15.000 By the way, if you watch the documentary, you'll realize it's actually a doctored video.
01:05:18.000 How so?
01:05:19.000 They doctored it.
01:05:21.000 They go frame by frame in the video, and you can see how it's doctored.
01:05:24.000 Really?
01:05:25.000 It looks a lot more like a cruise missile than a plane.
01:05:27.000 I'll find a different one.
01:05:27.000 That looks like a cruise missile that's flying six inches off the ground?
01:05:30.000 It looks weird.
01:05:31.000 It does not look like a plane.
01:05:34.000 I don't know.
01:05:34.000 It looks like a plane to me.
01:05:36.000 That would be a giant fucking missile. 0.98
01:05:38.000 You have Bush and Cheney going, we're going to testify together in front of the 9-11 Commission in a closed-door testimony like an Abbott and Costello Act. 0.99
01:05:45.000 I mean, they didn't even want to have a 9-11 Commission.
01:05:48.000 We don't even want to investigate it.
01:05:50.000 The president was kept in the air while Cheney and Rumsfeld ran everything from the ground.
01:05:54.000 Well, we knew then that Cheney was pulling the strings and George Bush was basically a I don't know what happened.
01:05:59.000 I don't think Cheney and Bush did.
01:06:01.000 I'm saying, isn't it a little weird that the day of 9-11 they were simulating 9-11 happening?
01:06:06.000 There was an operation called Vigilant Guardian simulating an attack on the UN building in New York causing NORAD to scramble jets.
01:06:14.000 Isn't that a stroke of luck?
01:06:16.000 It is a stroke of luck.
01:06:16.000 That's a real stroke of luck.
01:06:18.000 Maybe they knew that that was going to happen and that's why they organized it on that day.
01:06:21.000 I don't know.
01:06:21.000 Maybe that's one of the things that are covering up.
01:06:23.000 But that's a real stroke of luck.
01:06:25.000 Pretty amazing.
01:06:26.000 It's a real stroke of luck that you're simulating the exact same thing happening.
01:06:29.000 And then Condoleezza Rice goes, we had no idea planes would be hijacked and taken into buildings.
01:06:33.000 And you go, you were running an exercise the exact day it happened.
01:06:37.000 You know?
01:06:37.000 Of that possibly happening.
01:06:39.000 Of that possibility.
01:06:40.000 And all the Norad jets were scrambled.
01:06:43.000 It's very strange.
01:06:44.000 It's just odd.
01:06:45.000 The Flight 93 one to me, that's the one that got shot down, right?
01:06:48.000 Was that what it was called?
01:06:49.000 Perhaps.
01:06:50.000 Let's roll?
01:06:51.000 Yeah, the let's roll thing.
01:06:52.000 The thing about that that's crazy is that the wreckage was spread out over miles.
01:06:56.000 Right.
01:06:57.000 Which, in my eyes, would be something that would indicate something that got hit in the air.
01:07:02.000 Right.
01:07:02.000 Going 500 miles an hour, the wreckage would spread out over miles.
01:07:06.000 Whereas if something crashes into the ground, what the fuck is going to make the wreckage go miles?
01:07:11.000 I have no idea. 0.80
01:07:12.000 That doesn't make any sense.
01:07:14.000 I know for a fact that in situations like that, they are instructed to shoot planes down.
01:07:20.000 Right.
01:07:20.000 If they know that a plane is going to crash into the White House, they're going to shoot that plane out of the sky, even if it's filled with civilians, because those civilians are doomed anyway.
01:07:28.000 Right.
01:07:28.000 They're casualties, no matter what you do.
01:07:30.000 Yeah.
01:07:30.000 If the plane has been hijacked and it's going to fly right into the President's house, they're going to shoot that plane down.
01:07:36.000 Of course. 0.99
01:07:37.000 And there was eyewitness accounts, whatever the fuck that means. 1.00
01:07:41.000 The problem with eyewitness accounts is they're always fucked. 0.99
01:07:44.000 Like, eyewitness accounts are some of the worst and most unreliable things that you could go on. 0.99
01:07:49.000 Of course.
01:07:50.000 Sometimes.
01:07:50.000 Yes.
01:07:51.000 But sometimes you can get an eyewitness account from someone who's like a legitimate, conscious person, and maybe a person that's been to war, a person who knows how to handle trauma, knows how to handle stress, and they can give you an accurate assessment of what happened.
01:08:04.000 That being said, I just think If you look at that day, there's a lot we don't know.
01:08:10.000 I don't know what that ends up meaning.
01:08:12.000 I don't know if it means that the people that did this were trained Saudi agents, maybe, and they were not just random terrorists that couldn't fly and were drunk.
01:08:22.000 They pulled off something quite spectacular.
01:08:25.000 Nothing even close to it has ever happened again anywhere.
01:08:30.000 I think if you look at that day, there's a lot about that day that we still don't understand.
01:08:35.000 That's true.
01:08:35.000 I don't know what happened or how it happened, but the 9-11 Commission said this is set up to fail.
01:08:40.000 We don't have any of the resources we need.
01:08:47.000 He goes, this Saudi connection, man.
01:08:49.000 He says, there's something more here.
01:08:50.000 And he kept burrowing into it.
01:08:51.000 And the FBI was threatening.
01:08:53.000 They took him off his plane.
01:08:54.000 They were like, you can't do this.
01:08:55.000 There were people trying to figure out more.
01:08:58.000 And the people just shut it down.
01:09:01.000 So there's something that we don't know.
01:09:04.000 And I don't know what it is.
01:09:06.000 It is possible that what was being exposed by the investigation that they were trying to suppress was that they are balls deep involved in the Saudi government.
01:09:16.000 The Saudi government is involved in our government.
01:09:18.000 The amount of money that's being exchanged when you're talking about oil and Look what happened with Jamal Khashoggi.
01:09:25.000 Yes.
01:09:25.000 Look what happened when that guy got murdered.
01:09:27.000 They literally have done nothing.
01:09:29.000 Nothing.
01:09:29.000 They've done nothing.
01:09:30.000 In fact, people were attending, what is his initials?
01:09:37.000 JK? No, the other guy.
01:09:39.000 MBS. They were attending something that he did just like a couple of years later.
01:09:43.000 Yeah, they don't care.
01:09:44.000 No, it's...
01:09:45.000 The documentary, The Dissident, have you seen it?
01:09:48.000 No.
01:09:49.000 Brian Fogel's documentary?
01:09:50.000 It's a good one.
01:09:50.000 It's brilliant.
01:09:51.000 It's brilliant.
01:09:51.000 It's terrifying.
01:09:52.000 It's terrifying because... 0.99
01:09:54.000 I mean, they fucking killed this guy because he was criticizing the government. 0.99
01:09:59.000 It was real clear. 0.99
01:10:00.000 A guy was a journalist from the Washington Post.
01:10:02.000 They organized killing him in the Turkish consulate, and they did it.
01:10:06.000 They pulled it off. 0.65
01:10:07.000 Right.
01:10:07.000 It's wild.
01:10:08.000 It is crazy.
01:10:09.000 But I mean, these are things you almost, you go, hey, I'm never going to know the truth.
01:10:13.000 I'll die without knowing the truth.
01:10:15.000 We're never going to know.
01:10:16.000 It just seems fishy.
01:10:17.000 The amount of money involved in oil.
01:10:20.000 It was explained to me by someone who said, and this is someone who is an incredibly wealthy person.
01:10:26.000 He said, when you think about rich people, you think about rich people that are publicly rich.
01:10:31.000 And he goes, Jeff Bezos is the most publicly rich person.
01:10:36.000 He goes, but the royal family in these Saudi Arabia, in these oil-rich countries in the Middle East, they have trillions of dollars.
01:10:44.000 Private wealth.
01:10:45.000 They have crazy money that they don't have to report.
01:10:50.000 They're monarchs.
01:10:51.000 Right.
01:10:52.000 You don't know how much money they have.
01:10:54.000 No, and the extraction of natural resources is still really at the top of the food chain in terms of money.
01:11:00.000 It's huge.
01:11:01.000 Oh, yeah.
01:11:02.000 I remember I was reading this story about, there's a documentary, well there's a bunch of things, story and documentary as well, about the Sultan of Brunei and how he used to rock it. 0.99
01:11:13.000 And what the Sultan of Brunei used to do was he would get girls from TV shows, from movies, and he would say, you know, I want to fuck her. 0.99
01:11:21.000 Have her come visit me and I'll give her, you know, like fucking 10 million bucks or something crazy like that. 1.00
01:11:27.000 And girls would fly over there and fuck this guy. 1.00
01:11:31.000 Wow. 1.00
01:11:31.000 And he had a disco in his palace because he was... 1.00
01:11:35.000 Beyond wealthy insane. 0.90
01:11:37.000 He's beyond wealthy in this extraordinary way that we could never really possibly understand and he had this full-on Super fucking disco in his house and he would just fucking stroll downstairs in gold underwear and and go you you you let's go It's an amazing girls would just be hanging out It's an amazing experience to have in life when you look at like the vastly different experiences people have in life to be that guy and It's truly amazing. 0.96
01:12:02.000 Well, there's only one of them. 0.99
01:12:04.000 You could kill anyone you want. 1.00
01:12:06.000 Fuck anyone you want. 1.00
01:12:07.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:12:08.000 You know?
01:12:08.000 And you, like, look at MBS. Does it?
01:12:12.000 Allegedly.
01:12:13.000 There's very little repercussions.
01:12:15.000 I mean...
01:12:16.000 Oh, there's none.
01:12:17.000 I mean, people got fired.
01:12:19.000 There was a big hubbub.
01:12:20.000 There was a lot of talk about it.
01:12:22.000 Probably gone real uncomfortable for him for a little while.
01:12:24.000 But there's no talk about him being arrested.
01:12:26.000 There's no talk about seals invading his mansion and pulling him out of the castle.
01:12:30.000 No.
01:12:31.000 None of that's going to happen.
01:12:32.000 No, it's not going to happen.
01:12:33.000 Yeah.
01:12:33.000 I think I forgot who did.
01:12:35.000 Maybe it was Gabriel Iglesias.
01:12:36.000 Somebody did a private show for one of those families.
01:12:39.000 Really?
01:12:39.000 It was interesting.
01:12:40.000 Was it Russell Peters?
01:12:41.000 Might have been Russell Peters.
01:12:42.000 I forget who it was.
01:12:43.000 Somebody did a private show for one of those families, and they said it was one of the most wild things they ever did.
01:12:49.000 Yeah?
01:12:50.000 And it was just in a gold palace, and there was not a ton of audience, and everyone, the king sitting there laughing.
01:12:57.000 Yeah.
01:12:57.000 Everyone's looking at the king like, yes, this is good.
01:12:59.000 We're having fun.
01:13:01.000 This is fun.
01:13:02.000 You know who Yeonmi Park is?
01:13:06.000 No.
01:13:06.000 Is that how I say her name?
01:13:08.000 Yeonmi? 0.81
01:13:08.000 I think that's her name. 0.81
01:13:10.000 She's a defector from North Korea.
01:13:12.000 She was on Lex Friedman's podcast.
01:13:13.000 She's going to be on this one, too.
01:13:15.000 And he was talking to her about what it was like growing up in North Korea and the experience of North Korea. 0.99
01:13:23.000 And it's fucking terrifying. 0.98
01:13:25.000 It's tough. 0.99
01:13:25.000 They have no internet. 0.99
01:13:27.000 They have no power.
01:13:28.000 And she was talking about when she was young, she truly loved the royal family.
01:13:32.000 She loved them.
01:13:33.000 And their history doesn't go back to Jesus.
01:13:36.000 Their calendar doesn't go back.
01:13:37.000 Their calendar goes to Kim Jong-un's birth.
01:13:40.000 Right.
01:13:40.000 Well, that's what Christopher Hitchens said when he wrote this great article called Fat Man and Little Boy.
01:13:45.000 He said, the most depressing thing about North Korea is that the people actually love the family that runs it.
01:13:50.000 He goes, in all these other kleptocracies in third world countries, people will sneak out a little joke in a cafe. 0.99
01:13:57.000 They know they're being fucked over. 0.94
01:13:58.000 In North Korea, he said, the vigilance of which people really supported and thought they were living in this paradise, he said, was the most disturbing thing about it. 0.99
01:14:08.000 Like they had destroyed people's psyche and just sense of reality to a degree that it was like, you know, he had been all over the world.
01:14:15.000 He said that was really disturbing.
01:14:17.000 In the beginning of Lex Friedman's podcast, whether he explains what happened with North Korea and how during the 90s they had this massive famine where an undisclosed number of people died from starvation.
01:14:28.000 It may be hundreds of thousands.
01:14:30.000 It may be millions.
01:14:31.000 They don't really know.
01:14:32.000 Many people resorted to cannibalism, including cannibalizing their own children because the thought was if they died, other people are going to eat their children.
01:14:40.000 So they ate their own children.
01:14:42.000 That is a negative governmental strategy, you know?
01:14:46.000 That is like as bad as it gets.
01:14:49.000 It's as bad as it gets.
01:14:49.000 It's as bad as it gets.
01:14:50.000 It happened with Stalin, too, and that's one of the connections that he had to it because his grandmother survived what Stalin did in...
01:14:59.000 What year was that?
01:15:01.000 So, the 40s?
01:15:02.000 What happened with Stalin and Ukraine?
01:15:05.000 He loves Putin, though.
01:15:07.000 Lex Friedman.
01:15:08.000 Well, he's interested in what Putin stands for, and he doesn't think...
01:15:13.000 I think his position is...
01:15:16.000 I don't want to speak for him, so let me just say generally, I think. 1.00
01:15:21.000 All of this shit, whether it's the way the United States government handles things, whether they pretend that Joe Biden's running the world, all of this is bullshit. 0.99
01:15:29.000 At least with Putin, it's transparent. 1.00
01:15:30.000 It's not good that Putin poisons his rivals and has people assassinated.
01:15:35.000 That's the thing.
01:15:36.000 No criticism of Putin for me ever comes with A co-sign of what we've done, because we've done horrible things.
01:15:47.000 But, like, you do have to look at what Putin does and you go, he's clearly poisoning all of his enemies.
01:15:53.000 There's something going on.
01:15:54.000 Something's going on and it's not good.
01:15:56.000 Or people love him so much they're doing the dirty work for him.
01:15:59.000 That's not happening.
01:16:00.000 He's...
01:16:01.000 Why leave it to chance?
01:16:03.000 And so I just think you have to, you know, listen, I get it, but like, you know, Lex, I was texting with him the other day and he goes, they have integrity.
01:16:09.000 I said, I don't have integrity, man.
01:16:12.000 The guy wants absolute power and he just wants to kill everyone that gets in his way.
01:16:15.000 I don't know if that's integrity.
01:16:18.000 Have you seen that mansion that he's having built?
01:16:20.000 Oh, it's beautiful.
01:16:20.000 It's insane.
01:16:21.000 It's beautiful.
01:16:22.000 It's this enormous compound.
01:16:24.000 Is it in Austin?
01:16:25.000 No.
01:16:25.000 I'm kidding.
01:16:26.000 No.
01:16:27.000 That's Elon's house.
01:16:27.000 Yeah.
01:16:28.000 Yeah.
01:16:28.000 Is he going to be in Austin?
01:16:30.000 Elon lives in a tiny house.
01:16:31.000 Oh, interesting.
01:16:32.000 That's what I read.
01:16:33.000 I haven't asked him.
01:16:34.000 Interesting.
01:16:35.000 Yeah, he sent me a text the other day and I was going to ask him about that, but I said no.
01:16:38.000 Putin is worth, what, a trillion dollars?
01:16:41.000 They don't know.
01:16:42.000 They don't know how much it is.
01:16:43.000 No one has any idea. 1.00
01:16:43.000 Because it's like, it's all bullshit. 1.00
01:16:44.000 Because it's like, he's got complete control over what gets reported. 0.99
01:16:48.000 It's all Bitcoin?
01:16:48.000 No.
01:16:48.000 It's all Dogecoin.
01:16:49.000 Right, right.
01:16:50.000 There's a mini Doge now.
01:16:51.000 Are you in crypto heavy?
01:16:52.000 No, not at all.
01:16:53.000 Not at all.
01:16:54.000 No.
01:16:55.000 Interesting.
01:16:55.000 I think it's a Ponzi scheme.
01:16:56.000 I own a Bitcoin.
01:16:57.000 I was paid a Bitcoin to do the Bitcoin conference.
01:17:01.000 I was given some Bitcoin and I cashed it all in for Fight for the Forgotten.
01:17:06.000 Oh, good.
01:17:07.000 The charity.
01:17:08.000 The charity, yeah.
01:17:08.000 Okay.
01:17:09.000 Well, that's good.
01:17:10.000 I have one Bitcoin of five Ethereum, so I'm just on the train.
01:17:13.000 We'll see where it goes.
01:17:14.000 What's more valuable?
01:17:15.000 Bitcoin?
01:17:16.000 Bitcoin is the most popular.
01:17:17.000 Bitcoin is clearly more valuable, yeah.
01:17:18.000 What is that worth now?
01:17:20.000 $35,000, Jamie?
01:17:21.000 About $35,000.
01:17:22.000 So it always gets up pretty high, and then people are like, get out now!
01:17:25.000 And then they sell it, or Elon tweets something, and then people sell.
01:17:30.000 What I think it's going to be is, it's clearly a speculative asset where it is driven largely by, like, Elon tweeting has been maybe the main driver of it gaining and losing value.
01:17:44.000 Which is bananas.
01:17:44.000 Which is bananas.
01:17:45.000 It's crazy. 0.95
01:17:47.000 Well, that's when the fake anonymous video came out where people pissed off at him for doing that because they're like, you're fucking up people's lives with these tweets.
01:17:55.000 Well, it's the other thing is like there are true believers that believe it's going to replace gold and, you know, I don't know if that's going to happen.
01:18:02.000 There's a lot of people that believe it will be the reserve currency and in 10 years it'll be worth a million dollars of Bitcoin.
01:18:10.000 I don't know.
01:18:11.000 Who knows?
01:18:12.000 It's a very interesting...
01:18:13.000 The guy that started it is either dead or no one knows, but he has, like, the Satoshi...
01:18:19.000 Nakamoto.
01:18:20.000 Yeah, he's got...
01:18:20.000 Nakamoto?
01:18:21.000 I forget how many coins he has.
01:18:23.000 He has a million coins?
01:18:24.000 Yeah.
01:18:25.000 And they don't know if he died or if he...
01:18:27.000 He has a million coins?
01:18:28.000 He has a million of them, and they don't know if he died or if he...
01:18:31.000 They don't know who he is.
01:18:32.000 They don't know who he is.
01:18:32.000 He's the Banksy of crypto.
01:18:34.000 He could be one of three people.
01:18:36.000 How crazy is the Banksy situation?
01:18:38.000 How does no one know who Banksy is?
01:18:40.000 I think people know.
01:18:41.000 I think they know.
01:18:41.000 Who knows?
01:18:42.000 I don't know.
01:18:42.000 Do you know?
01:18:43.000 I'm pretty sure they know now.
01:18:45.000 I don't think the guy who they think it is has admitted to it.
01:18:48.000 Oh, they think they know the guy?
01:18:49.000 Wasn't it?
01:18:50.000 Someone said it was someone in a band.
01:18:51.000 Yeah, they nailed down like every time this band played somewhere, the Banksy thing showed up like the day before or after or something like that.
01:18:57.000 I think that's fun when people are anonymous.
01:19:00.000 I think that's good.
01:19:01.000 I think it's fun when people do things like that and then people have to figure out who they are.
01:19:04.000 Oh, it is fun.
01:19:05.000 It is fun.
01:19:05.000 It's definitely fun.
01:19:07.000 Bigfoot's fun.
01:19:07.000 Why not?
01:19:08.000 Yeah.
01:19:08.000 It's all fun.
01:19:09.000 And Bigfoot, you think there's any possibility that he's still around?
01:19:14.000 I don't think so.
01:19:15.000 No.
01:19:16.000 No.
01:19:17.000 Unfortunate.
01:19:18.000 It's possible.
01:19:20.000 If anything, the density of the forest in the Pacific Northwest would be able to shelter some kind of creatures like that.
01:19:29.000 Do you think he was around at one point?
01:19:30.000 Yeah, it's 100%.
01:19:31.000 100%?
01:19:32.000 Yeah, it was a real thing.
01:19:33.000 It was a thing called the Gigantopithecus.
01:19:35.000 They actually have bones that would indicate it was a bipedal hominid, an enormous one that they think is somewhere between 8 and 10 feet tall, and it existed for sure during the same time as human beings, as recently as 100,000 years ago.
01:19:48.000 Where is the most credible account of somebody seeing that hominid? 0.99
01:19:52.000 There's none.
01:19:53.000 None that are really good.
01:19:54.000 Okay.
01:19:54.000 There's no really good accounts.
01:19:56.000 That's the problem. 0.95
01:19:56.000 Yeah, the Patterson-Gimlin footage is horseshit. 0.95
01:19:59.000 Right. 0.77
01:20:00.000 It's the guy, Bob Hieronymus, who said that he wore the Bigfoot suit.
01:20:06.000 There's side-by-side video of him walking, and the Bigfoot suit guy walking, and he walks like Bigfoot.
01:20:14.000 Yes, that was him. 0.97
01:20:15.000 He's a big, lanky cowboy motherfucker who's walking like this, and if you put that guy in a gorilla suit, and you filmed it all shaky off a horse, It would look like that. 0.98
01:20:25.000 Is it amazing to you as somebody who spent so long thinking about otherworldly visitors that now they're releasing all this information and no one really cares? 0.99
01:20:33.000 Well, the world is in such chaos now.
01:20:35.000 No one cares.
01:20:36.000 No one cares.
01:20:37.000 I couldn't care less.
01:20:38.000 If this happened during the middle of the Obama administration, when everything was going great, it would be giant news.
01:20:42.000 And what is the news, even, that the Pentagon just can't account for all these unidentified flying objects?
01:20:47.000 Yeah, they don't know what they are.
01:20:48.000 There's some of them that could easily be drones, because they're not moving at spectacular speeds.
01:20:53.000 Right.
01:20:54.000 They're just sort of like hovering over aircraft carriers.
01:20:57.000 Those could be drones.
01:20:58.000 They could be some new style of drone or some new kind of technology that maybe some foreign government has.
01:21:04.000 But there's other ones that were spotted by Air Force pilots and then tracked, and they have detailed...
01:21:15.000 Data on the speed of these things.
01:21:17.000 They have video of these things going with what appears to me thousands of miles an hour, instantaneously accelerating with no visible propulsion system, no heat signature. 0.98
01:21:27.000 They don't know what the fuck this is. 0.86
01:21:29.000 And this is from 2004 off the Nimitz. 0.99
01:21:31.000 Commander David Fravor, who was a fighter jet pilot, is like...
01:21:36.000 Like, rock-solid credentials.
01:21:38.000 You can't...
01:21:38.000 And I've talked to the guy, I had him on my podcast, and even better, he was on Lex's podcast, and Lex did an even better job than I did, and talked to him for two-plus hours about this, and the guy's incredibly credible.
01:21:50.000 That fucking thing, whenever he was tracking, went from... 0.92
01:21:53.000 The Nimitz tracked it. 1.00
01:21:55.000 They tracked it on radar.
01:21:56.000 They tracked it with the onboard sensors, the things they use for targeting enemy crafts.
01:22:04.000 They tracked this thing from the Nimitz.
01:22:07.000 It went 80,000 feet above sea level to 50 feet in a second.
01:22:13.000 That's crazy. 0.99
01:22:14.000 They don't know what the fuck it is. 1.00
01:22:16.000 They don't know what it is. 0.99
01:22:17.000 They know that it was jamming their radar.
01:22:19.000 They know it was jamming them, and then it moved.
01:22:22.000 When it took off at insane rates of speed, they couldn't even watch it.
01:22:25.000 It just, it's gone.
01:22:27.000 And then it reemerged at the cat point.
01:22:30.000 The cat point is the predetermined location where the jets are supposed to scramble to during this exercise.
01:22:36.000 So it's literally saying, I know where you guys are going.
01:22:38.000 Right.
01:22:38.000 You're going over here.
01:22:39.000 Whatever the fuck it is, who knows? 0.98
01:22:41.000 But does that mean that it's from another planet? 0.99
01:22:43.000 No. 0.99
01:22:44.000 It could be some fucking insane technology that the military's developed. 0.99
01:22:48.000 That we don't know. 0.98
01:22:49.000 It could be DARPA. Have you seen that shit where the military, there's patents for UFO-type See if you can find what those are because they're developing or at least they've attempted to develop some sort of gravitational drive that would indicate that at least there's been some thought about developing a craft like that. 0.95
01:23:12.000 Now, if you put a person in one of these things and you shot them off thousands of miles an hour, they turn into jello. 0.99
01:23:18.000 Right.
01:23:19.000 But who says it's a person?
01:23:20.000 Who knows?
01:23:20.000 We got a rover on Mars right now taking pictures.
01:23:23.000 There's a helicopter attached to it.
01:23:25.000 You got high resolution photographs from Mars.
01:23:27.000 Here it is.
01:23:29.000 Docs show Navy got UFO patent granted by warning of similar Chinese tech advances.
01:23:35.000 This is what I'm saying.
01:23:36.000 Patent document indicates that the US and China are actively developing radical new craft that seem eerily similar to UFOs reported by Navy pilots.
01:23:47.000 Now, If this is like on paper somewhere, where they're trying to get patents and they're telling you the Chinese The military already has something like this. 0.65
01:24:00.000 What we're getting is years later, they've been probably developing shit like this for decades. 0.88
01:24:06.000 Forever. 0.96
01:24:07.000 So they probably have some sort of working thing that can move in extraordinary ways.
01:24:13.000 We are not going to care until there's a Mars Attack-style raid on the White House, like that movie. 0.99
01:24:19.000 If you don't land with ray guns and start blasting people, I don't even give a shit. 0.99
01:24:27.000 No one's going to care. 0.99
01:24:28.000 We're real weird with it now.
01:24:30.000 I've always said that if aliens are real, Earth is the Tijuana of outer space.
01:24:35.000 You're not kidding. 0.99
01:24:36.000 And they come down here when they're fucked up and they want to see a show. 0.99
01:24:38.000 Yeah, that's exactly right. 0.99
01:24:40.000 And then they leave.
01:24:40.000 No one's trying to save Tijuana.
01:24:42.000 No.
01:24:43.000 Nobody's thinking about it.
01:24:44.000 Yeah, it's a place that you go and they mention it in a movie every now and then.
01:24:48.000 You'll see a donkey show.
01:24:49.000 Robert Rodriguez features it in a vampire movie and then you get out of there.
01:24:53.000 It's interesting.
01:24:54.000 It's the one conspiracy that I've never gotten into that much because the information is so tough to come by that I've just always said nothing would surprise me.
01:25:05.000 Nothing would surprise me.
01:25:06.000 There's something going on there's something going on but what that something is remains to be seen have you seen that video the men in black that walk into they walk into this It's just two very tall weird dudes that walk into like a Hotel and then leave Jamie you can find it easily and it's just these guys that were supposedly like you know something weird happened and supposedly they're guys that come in like after something weird happens and like Shut it down,
01:25:36.000 and they're both very tall and very...
01:25:38.000 And I don't know if it's fake or not.
01:25:39.000 I don't think it is fake, though, but I don't know.
01:25:41.000 It could be fake.
01:25:42.000 Where can one find this video?
01:25:43.000 It's on YouTube or something.
01:25:45.000 Jamie can find it.
01:25:45.000 It's the real Men in Black.
01:25:47.000 It's like the real, you know, whatever.
01:25:49.000 You know, supposedly there was something that happened where, I don't know, somebody went in after it.
01:25:57.000 Like, somebody had to go respond to something, and these two, like, weird-looking dudes came in.
01:26:04.000 Very strange.
01:26:06.000 There's got to be a men in black. 0.60
01:26:07.000 If there are, if we know about, there's got to be some part of the government that deals with that.
01:26:15.000 Well, there's two schools of thought, right?
01:26:16.000 One school of thought is that the government is way too incompetent to ever keep anything from anybody.
01:26:20.000 That's not true.
01:26:21.000 That's not true. 1.00
01:26:22.000 And there's other schools of thought where you're like, no, there's a perceived buffoonery that's attached to some level of government because there's a lot of people in government that are fucking idiots. 1.00
01:26:33.000 But there's a lot of people that work at UPS that are fucking idiots. 1.00
01:26:37.000 That are idiots, yeah. 1.00
01:26:37.000 But if you get to the highest levels of the organization- They know what they're doing. 1.00
01:26:41.000 Yeah, I mean, if you're going to ascend to the highest levels of the CIA or the NSA, you're going to probably be brilliant.
01:26:48.000 Right.
01:26:49.000 What are the odds that you're not?
01:26:50.000 Right.
01:26:51.000 You're probably going to have a deep...
01:26:52.000 And a good person.
01:26:53.000 No.
01:26:53.000 The best people.
01:26:54.000 But you're going to have a deep understanding of what's going on.
01:26:57.000 Yeah, of foreign policy and how to manipulate things and intelligence.
01:27:00.000 Did you not find the Men in Black video?
01:27:02.000 Not really.
01:27:02.000 I found something, but it was animation and stuff.
01:27:05.000 It wasn't really like a hotel.
01:27:07.000 No, I don't know if it was a hotel.
01:27:08.000 It was just two guys that walked in and then left, and they looked very strange.
01:27:12.000 The video I found is like a description of events of that happening.
01:27:16.000 I didn't find it in an actual video.
01:27:18.000 I'm looking.
01:27:19.000 Well, it's always been one of those things, a part of UFO folklore, right? 0.98
01:27:22.000 These men and black folks, they look oddly fake. 1.00
01:27:26.000 They look like fake-looking skin when they show up. 1.00
01:27:29.000 But that's what I would do.
01:27:30.000 If I was going to go interview some guy about UFOs, you know what I would do?
01:27:34.000 I'd put weird white makeup on and I'd dress in a black suit and I'd ask him strange questions while wearing sunglasses.
01:27:40.000 And I'd have him freak out.
01:27:42.000 Why not? 1.00
01:27:43.000 Why not fuck with him? 1.00
01:27:44.000 Why not leave him to the point where what he's going to tell all of his friends is so crazy, no one's going to believe it? 1.00
01:27:50.000 Well, that's part of, I think, what a lot of it is.
01:27:53.000 Imagine if you have an aircraft that's shaped like a pyramid, right?
01:27:56.000 And you're flying it over Philadelphia.
01:27:58.000 Yeah, here it is.
01:27:59.000 That's all it is.
01:28:00.000 I don't know what this is.
01:28:01.000 Dude's wearing suits.
01:28:02.000 To me, that proves it.
01:28:03.000 Yeah, what is that?
01:28:04.000 It proves it to me.
01:28:06.000 What does it say?
01:28:07.000 That proves it to me.
01:28:09.000 What is the Niagara Falls show canceled?
01:28:13.000 What is that?
01:28:14.000 Immediately.
01:28:20.000 Finally, we have perhaps the most conclusive evidence of the real Men in Black Hotel in Canada and the manager was a little disturbed when his bellboy informed him that the previous day the hotel had been visited by two tall men dressed completely in black who demanded to speak to him.
01:28:39.000 Maybe they were Johnny Cash fans.
01:28:41.000 Yeah. 0.98
01:28:41.000 What the fuck does that mean? 0.98
01:28:43.000 So they're just men. 1.00
01:28:44.000 This is what's ridiculous about conspiracy theories.
01:28:46.000 Those are two guys wearing suits.
01:28:48.000 I have a suit.
01:28:49.000 Do you have a suit?
01:28:50.000 Yes, but I don't think they have eyebrows.
01:28:52.000 Now that...
01:28:53.000 What is this?
01:28:53.000 They had no eyebrows?
01:28:54.000 Oh, see, that's what I would do. 0.99
01:28:55.000 I would fucking shave my eyebrows or put some makeup on over them so that I look like a weirdo. 0.99
01:29:00.000 And then make them real uncomfortable when they're telling their friends. 0.99
01:29:04.000 Man, I'm gonna fucking believe this. 0.98
01:29:05.000 Look at these guys. 0.98
01:29:06.000 Here they are.
01:29:07.000 Okay, that's got to be from a movie, right?
01:29:09.000 I don't know.
01:29:10.000 What is that image from?
01:29:12.000 Let that guy play it out.
01:29:13.000 And that concludes our look at the men in black.
01:29:16.000 Oh, come on. 0.87
01:29:17.000 That guy's got striped ties.
01:29:18.000 But remember, guys, this has been a look at just a handful of real-life accounts involving these mystery men.
01:29:23.000 There are many more stories to look at online.
01:29:26.000 Oh, well, as long as they're online.
01:29:28.000 There's a British guy saying, there's the men in black.
01:29:31.000 There are many mysteries to look at.
01:29:34.000 As long as there's more stories.
01:29:36.000 Yeah, online.
01:29:36.000 There's more content online we can sink our teeth into.
01:29:40.000 Rabbit holes.
01:29:41.000 We love to go down.
01:29:42.000 What do you think could happen?
01:29:43.000 Do you think in 20 years people are going to look at us as like prehistoric creatures with all this stuff because they'll know a lot of it?
01:29:49.000 They'll look at us and they'll go, what are you talking about? 0.95
01:29:51.000 Like you guys are goofballs? 0.51
01:29:53.000 You know, I was watching a video where Yuval Noah Harati, do you know who he is, the guy who wrote Sapiens? 0.70
01:30:00.000 He was talking about what happened in the early days of literature, and that in the early days of literature, see if you can find this, it's on his Instagram, and it's very, very interesting.
01:30:12.000 It's a speech that he's giving where he's talking about disinformation online, and he said that in the early days of literature, the things that people were reading Weren't books about Galileo.
01:30:23.000 It wasn't about, you know, nature.
01:30:25.000 Right.
01:30:26.000 The early books were how-to books on how to spot witches.
01:30:30.000 And they were the most popular books.
01:30:32.000 So everybody was reading witch books and they were killing witches. 0.99
01:30:36.000 So who knows how many fucking innocent people were murdered where they thought they were witches because they had read these books, proclaiming this is how you spot a witch. 0.97
01:30:45.000 Which is what he was saying is exactly the kind of disinformation you're getting now with this new media source. 0.98
01:30:50.000 So the old media source being printed word, all of a sudden it's in a book, it must be true.
01:30:56.000 This new media source, oh, I read it online, it must be true.
01:30:59.000 I saw a video.
01:31:00.000 It must be true.
01:31:01.000 It must be true, but it's the same type of thing.
01:31:03.000 Right.
01:31:03.000 So what they're trying to do- And every now and then they hit on something right.
01:31:05.000 Every now and then they do get a witch.
01:31:07.000 Yes.
01:31:07.000 Right.
01:31:08.000 I guess.
01:31:09.000 Yeah, of course.
01:31:09.000 Maybe.
01:31:10.000 There was absolutely witches.
01:31:13.000 There were annoying women- Let's say that. 1.00
01:31:19.000 There were annoying women that no one missed. 1.00
01:31:22.000 Yeah, for sure.
01:31:23.000 Sure.
01:31:23.000 Absolutely.
01:31:23.000 There had to be.
01:31:24.000 I mean, it's a thing.
01:31:25.000 It's a real thing, of course.
01:31:27.000 Looking for the men in black thing, I stumbled across this.
01:31:32.000 It apparently was in a leak from Edward Snowden's, a dump of stuff he put out.
01:31:36.000 This is in 2014, the article.
01:31:38.000 This is a PowerPoint.
01:31:39.000 The Art of Deception, Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations.
01:31:44.000 And what sticks out here is a couple slides in.
01:31:46.000 It says what they're looking for is we want to build cyber magicians.
01:31:50.000 And then it goes into this long thread of how...
01:31:54.000 And this is something that Edward Snowden exposed?
01:31:58.000 Yes.
01:32:00.000 So what this is...
01:32:03.000 Explain what this is.
01:32:05.000 I'm trying to look through, because it says on it, like, secret, it says USA, you know, there's pictures of four guys lifting up a tank.
01:32:12.000 Oh, yeah, but you know what those are?
01:32:13.000 Those were inflatable tanks that they inflated and installed to trick the Russians, or to trick the Nazis, into thinking that they had troops moving into specific areas where they weren't really...
01:32:29.000 It was a deceptive tactic.
01:32:31.000 You could find that I love that.
01:32:33.000 There's video of those guys picking up.
01:32:35.000 It says, attention, perception, sense-making, behavior, effect.
01:32:40.000 Psychological building blocks of deception.
01:32:42.000 Wow.
01:32:42.000 Yeah.
01:32:43.000 Well, for sure, they know how to fuck with people. 0.99
01:32:45.000 Here's like, how are you going to use social media to do it? 0.99
01:32:47.000 So this is something...
01:32:49.000 Okay, it's on The Intercept, right?
01:32:51.000 Correct.
01:32:52.000 Which was where Greenwald used to work.
01:32:55.000 And so it says, the map of technologies to message delivery, email, webpages, blogging, LinkedIn.
01:33:01.000 And what are they trying to do here?
01:33:04.000 Community of interest.
01:33:05.000 So it's clear that the type of manipulation that they've been involved with is orchestrated.
01:33:11.000 Yes.
01:33:13.000 And the battleground now is online.
01:33:15.000 Yeah.
01:33:16.000 100%.
01:33:18.000 Well, that's why they have such a hard time with people like you and I. They don't like it.
01:33:22.000 Well, that's why I'm trying to make money for the next five years, and then we'll see.
01:33:25.000 I don't know the long-term play online.
01:33:30.000 I don't know.
01:33:31.000 No.
01:33:32.000 There's a lot of things that are not encouraging.
01:33:34.000 Like what?
01:33:35.000 The demonetization of...
01:33:37.000 Certain channels, the call to limit topics that you can discuss, those things to me, they don't bode well, particularly for the future.
01:33:50.000 There's never a time where censorship is a good thing.
01:33:53.000 Never.
01:33:53.000 Never has been.
01:33:54.000 Of course.
01:33:55.000 Never will be.
01:33:56.000 When people are being censored by large corporations, the odds of you getting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but are very slim.
01:34:03.000 You're going to get a watered-down, corporatized version of what may or may not be true, and If they can withhold certain information and maximize profits or increase the profitable – like, if they have relationships with certain corporations that would lose money if people started discussing certain things,
01:34:24.000 they will most likely suppress those things and come up with some justification for why they're doing it.
01:34:29.000 Well, yeah, I just hope that, you know, That it doesn't get worse.
01:34:36.000 It's going to get worse.
01:34:37.000 And I know it will.
01:34:37.000 So that's what I'm saying.
01:34:38.000 I want to do well and earn money.
01:34:41.000 And then hide in the woods.
01:34:43.000 And then we'll see what happens.
01:34:44.000 I don't want to go to the woods, per se.
01:34:46.000 Maybe the beach.
01:34:46.000 But I don't know what's going to happen.
01:34:49.000 And when you're making a living speaking and telling jokes...
01:34:53.000 And you're using these platforms to do it.
01:34:56.000 Yeah.
01:34:56.000 It's, you know, you think about it.
01:34:58.000 You go to bed at night and you go, oh, okay.
01:35:01.000 Well, at the end of the day, we always do live comedy, right?
01:35:05.000 Yes, that's true.
01:35:06.000 Live comedy is always going to exist.
01:35:07.000 And it's whether or not you can let people know where your show is.
01:35:12.000 Well, that's right.
01:35:13.000 It's going to be harder and harder.
01:35:14.000 That's going to be, yeah.
01:35:15.000 I mean, imagine if you're Donald Trump right now.
01:35:17.000 It's very difficult to even tell people, like, what you're thinking today.
01:35:21.000 He can get it out.
01:35:22.000 But if you, today.
01:35:23.000 Of course.
01:35:24.000 Like, if he wants to tweet.
01:35:25.000 Banned from everything.
01:35:25.000 Can't tweet.
01:35:26.000 If you want to put something on Parler, who's reading that?
01:35:29.000 Right.
01:35:29.000 He started that new platform, though.
01:35:30.000 He bailed on it.
01:35:32.000 No, yesterday.
01:35:33.000 Wait, what's his- He started a new platform yesterday?
01:35:35.000 What is it?
01:35:36.000 What is it?
01:35:36.000 It's called Getter.
01:35:37.000 G-E-T-T-R. Get her. 1.00
01:35:40.000 Ha ha ha.
01:35:43.000 I mean, he's fun. 1.00
01:35:44.000 What the fuck? 0.99
01:35:45.000 He's a lot of fun. 1.00
01:35:46.000 He's a lot of fun.
01:35:48.000 That's a new platform he's starting?
01:35:49.000 It says, yeah, advertised mission statement as fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas.
01:35:58.000 Officially launches July 4th.
01:35:59.000 Have you seen this guy, Hezbollah?
01:36:03.000 On TikTok, Mini Khabib. 1.00
01:36:05.000 Oh yeah, the little tiny guy.
01:36:06.000 I'm trying to get him on the show.
01:36:08.000 Oh, how are you going to get him here?
01:36:09.000 I don't know, by saying it on a very big podcast.
01:36:12.000 But I really want Hezbollah to come on my show. 1.00
01:36:15.000 We'll pay him.
01:36:16.000 We'll pay him 10 grand.
01:36:18.000 In American money or rubles?
01:36:19.000 In American money.
01:36:20.000 That's huge, right?
01:36:21.000 $10,000 is a good amount for that film.
01:36:23.000 We'll pay his bullet $10,000 to come on the show.
01:36:25.000 Okay.
01:36:25.000 He has a fight with another little guy, Abdu Rosik.
01:36:28.000 Well, let me say this.
01:36:29.000 I was going to have Lex Friedman translate, and then he's like, well, I do serious stuff with Russia, so I don't want to get involved with this.
01:36:36.000 Well, he has to be careful.
01:36:37.000 Is this his car?
01:36:38.000 No.
01:36:39.000 Maybe then $10,000 is not enough.
01:36:41.000 Oh, he's in the trunk?
01:36:41.000 Oh, no.
01:36:43.000 Dude, he's a gangster. 0.78
01:36:43.000 He's everywhere, though. 0.78
01:36:45.000 He's everywhere.
01:36:45.000 They're doing an amazing job with him, I have to say.
01:36:47.000 He's doing a great job.
01:36:49.000 Mini Khabib. 0.99
01:36:51.000 Whoever's handling him is doing a fucking phenomenal job. 0.99
01:36:54.000 Because he's like 18, right? 0.99
01:36:55.000 Yes.
01:36:55.000 Did you see the press conference with him and the other kid?
01:36:57.000 Yes.
01:36:58.000 I mean, it's amazing.
01:36:59.000 Look, he's everywhere.
01:37:00.000 How many followers does he have?
01:37:02.000 Two million now.
01:37:03.000 That's... 1.00
01:37:03.000 You sit down on fucking Khabib's lap! 1.00
01:37:06.000 Yeah, we're just trying to get Mini Khabib. 1.00
01:37:08.000 Did you hear the TikToker YouTuber fight?
01:37:11.000 Did you watch any of that?
01:37:11.000 No, but I want to say this.
01:37:12.000 I want to just put this out there.
01:37:14.000 If he's willing to go on your podcast, I will promote it on my Instagram page, which has 12.8 million people.
01:37:23.000 I will help him.
01:37:25.000 I will talk about it on this podcast.
01:37:27.000 I'm doing so right now.
01:37:28.000 We're going to clip it and send that to...
01:37:30.000 Can I be there?
01:37:32.000 I would love you to be there.
01:37:33.000 Will you do it here?
01:37:34.000 We'll do it here.
01:37:35.000 We'll do it here.
01:37:35.000 Yeah, I'll be there.
01:37:36.000 We'll do it here.
01:37:36.000 I'll be there.
01:37:37.000 See, this is Abdul Rozek, and they're very angry, and they're talking about... 0.99
01:37:44.000 Hezbollah has accused him of advertising sports betting during Ramadan.
01:37:49.000 No good.
01:37:49.000 Is that what he accused him of?
01:37:50.000 Yes, and the other guy has accused Hezbollah of using crass language during Ramadan, which is also not good.
01:37:57.000 Wow.
01:37:59.000 Yeah, so we're trying to get Hezbollah on. 1.00
01:38:02.000 I have very few goals.
01:38:04.000 And this is one of them.
01:38:05.000 It's incredible how much they've elevated this guy's platform so quickly.
01:38:09.000 It's like that one little video caught fire.
01:38:12.000 It wasn't that long ago.
01:38:13.000 And then all of a sudden, there's this massive push behind him and I see him everywhere.
01:38:18.000 Every time I open up Instagram, I see a little video of him.
01:38:21.000 He's doing a great job.
01:38:22.000 Who's ever doing this, whether it's Putin, whoever it is, good job.
01:38:26.000 Hots off to you.
01:38:27.000 Two million followers.
01:38:29.000 That's incredible.
01:38:30.000 How many followers do you have on Instagram?
01:38:32.000 I have 423,000.
01:38:34.000 And you have a very popular podcast.
01:38:36.000 Yeah, and the podcast is great, but it's doing well.
01:38:39.000 You're killing it.
01:38:40.000 I'm no Hezbollah. 0.96
01:38:41.000 But isn't that amazing?
01:38:42.000 You have less than a fourth of what he has.
01:38:44.000 Oh, I would expect to have much fewer than him.
01:38:48.000 But that's nuts, because I think a year ago he had zero.
01:38:52.000 Well, he's popped hard.
01:38:53.000 How long has he been around?
01:38:54.000 Hard.
01:38:55.000 Quick.
01:38:55.000 Hard.
01:38:56.000 Quick.
01:38:57.000 Yeah.
01:38:58.000 But I would have thought Meghan McCain would have put you over the top, that one. 1.00
01:39:02.000 Not that, no.
01:39:03.000 Because he's just, I mean, every time I see him, like, the other day he fought a monkey.
01:39:08.000 I can't do this.
01:39:10.000 I don't have this.
01:39:12.000 I can't do it.
01:39:13.000 He fought a monkey?
01:39:14.000 Oh no, he's really fighting a monkey?
01:39:16.000 Yes, I told you.
01:39:16.000 Oh no, the monkey's gonna bite him.
01:39:18.000 Don't fight monkeys.
01:39:18.000 The monkey's winning.
01:39:19.000 Yeah, the monkey's gonna win every time.
01:39:21.000 But this is the type of content I really cannot compete with.
01:39:24.000 Monkeys can throw themselves through trees with one arm.
01:39:27.000 Aw, they made up.
01:39:28.000 Yes, he does a lot with this monkey.
01:39:30.000 Bro, that's a baby baboon.
01:39:34.000 Dude, Chechnya's wild. 1.00
01:39:35.000 They're wild.
01:39:36.000 They're wild.
01:39:36.000 They're wild over there.
01:39:37.000 The head guy in Chechnya is a giant fan of MMA. Yeah, but don't they kill everybody over there? 1.00
01:39:46.000 They just kill everyone. 1.00
01:39:47.000 They're not a fan of gay folks. 1.00
01:39:48.000 They kill a lot of people. 1.00
01:39:50.000 Yes.
01:39:51.000 Well, anybody who steps out of line.
01:39:52.000 Yeah, anybody who steps out of line.
01:39:54.000 Yeah, they're not fans of that.
01:39:56.000 But I'm sure they like MMA. They were letting children fight, and people got angry about that.
01:40:00.000 Well, not only did people get angry, but Fedor Emelianenko got angry, and then that guy got mad at Fedor Emelianenko.
01:40:07.000 Fedor Emelianenko is arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time. 0.98
01:40:11.000 When he was the heavyweight champion of Pride, he was the fucking man. 0.98
01:40:15.000 So pull up Fedor highlight reels. 1.00
01:40:19.000 Fedor...
01:40:19.000 And he said, you can't fight, you can't have children.
01:40:21.000 Yeah, he was like, you shouldn't have children fight. 1.00
01:40:23.000 And this guy was like, who the fuck are you? 1.00
01:40:25.000 Fuck you. 1.00
01:40:26.000 Like, seriously. 1.00
01:40:27.000 I don't know if he used that language.
01:40:28.000 Right.
01:40:29.000 That tone.
01:40:30.000 Yeah.
01:40:30.000 Very upset.
01:40:31.000 Where do you stand on the children fight?
01:40:33.000 Children?
01:40:34.000 This is my position.
01:40:35.000 It is good for children to learn to spar when they're children because they don't hit hard.
01:40:41.000 Right.
01:40:41.000 And when you spar, when there's not much consequences, it's better.
01:40:46.000 Right.
01:40:47.000 Because you learn how to spar and you don't have as many mental blocks.
01:40:51.000 When you're a grown man, if you're a 20-year-old guy and you're real strong and you're sparring with another 20-year-old guy and you're trying to really hit each other, you're tense and you don't learn as well.
01:41:01.000 When kids are hitting each other and it's not that much of a consequence.
01:41:06.000 So you get to understand the movements better.
01:41:09.000 So what you're really supposed to do is a lot of drilling, and then if you can get used to sparring when you're young, you actually can develop better skills.
01:41:20.000 It's arguable, but also there's a thing that happens when you're really young where your body matures into striking.
01:41:27.000 I got into martial arts when I was a young teenager, and my body was still growing.
01:41:32.000 So as I learned martial arts, my body matured into martial arts, and I developed striking skills while my body was growing and getting stronger and thicker, and I think you get better that way.
01:41:43.000 I think when you're already a grown man, unless you have a very specific style of athleticism, it's harder to get good at striking.
01:41:54.000 Some wrestlers, they have like a slower style and they don't have a lot of fast twitch muscles in the same way that like a striker does.
01:42:02.000 They have a really hard time developing striking power and like real striking skills as they get older because it's just a different thing to learn.
01:42:10.000 Football players, same way.
01:42:11.000 But what about these fights that they were doing with kids was not good?
01:42:16.000 Well, they do it in Thailand.
01:42:17.000 See, in Thailand, kids sometimes will have a hundred fights, man.
01:42:20.000 Right.
01:42:20.000 So maybe it is good for the children to fight.
01:42:23.000 It's not...
01:42:24.000 Look, all fighting gives you brain damage.
01:42:28.000 What about babies?
01:42:28.000 Babies can't even hurt each other.
01:42:29.000 You let them fight and they have mushy heads.
01:42:30.000 Because that, to me, is even more fun, like toddlers fighting.
01:42:34.000 Well...
01:42:38.000 Yeah.
01:42:38.000 Let me see what this looks like.
01:42:41.000 See, those kids kind of look a little muscular.
01:42:43.000 I think when you get to this age, they can hurt each other.
01:42:47.000 But maybe not.
01:42:51.000 Here's the thing.
01:42:52.000 If you have good referees and you teach them how to fight correctly, you teach them how to be defensively responsible, the thing about this is they don't have the ability to consent because they're so young.
01:43:07.000 That's the problem.
01:43:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:43:08.000 When you're seven years old or however old these kids are and your parents tell you to fight, you don't know what brain damage is.
01:43:15.000 You don't know that you're going to live to be 80. I mean, you do, but you don't really understand it yet.
01:43:19.000 Oh, they're fucking cracking each other. 0.98
01:43:21.000 These kids have skills. 0.99
01:43:23.000 But if they can learn these skills at this age, yeah, they're going off.
01:43:28.000 But see, that referee is on top of them, right?
01:43:30.000 He's paying attention.
01:43:31.000 And these kids aren't necessarily getting badly hurt here.
01:43:34.000 They're just getting kind of touched up.
01:43:36.000 It's tricky.
01:43:37.000 Like, I would want my kids to learn...
01:43:40.000 It's almost like kids being actors.
01:43:43.000 If my kids wanted to learn fighting, like I say, if they decided, even my daughters, if they said, I want to be a fighter, okay, okay.
01:43:50.000 We're going to do it slowly, and we're going to do it the right way, and I want you to develop, like, legitimate defensive skills before you start sparring.
01:43:56.000 It's almost like any job a kid has.
01:43:58.000 Whether it's a kid who goes, I want to be a movie star, or I want to be a musician.
01:44:01.000 Like, any job that a kid has, you've got to be very careful.
01:44:05.000 Very careful.
01:44:06.000 Very careful.
01:44:07.000 Yeah.
01:44:07.000 Maybe even more so if they want to be a movie star, believe it or not.
01:44:10.000 Well, of course.
01:44:10.000 Of course.
01:44:11.000 Yeah.
01:44:11.000 But, I mean, and you need certain kids to do kid roles, right?
01:44:15.000 You've got to have them.
01:44:17.000 There are so many, you know, we all have so many, we all know so many horror stories about abuse, whether it's sexual, physical, mental, emotional.
01:44:26.000 Kids are not ready for that level.
01:44:28.000 So it's like with the same thing with that, you got to be very careful. 0.99
01:44:31.000 They don't even know what the fuck being a normal person is. 0.92
01:44:34.000 At least you and I, we're getting a lot of attention as adults, but we went through most of our young life being completely anonymous. 0.98
01:44:43.000 Well, I was on Sesame Street as a kid.
01:44:45.000 Were you?
01:44:45.000 Yeah, I was on Sesame Street twice, so I wouldn't say anonymous.
01:44:48.000 Oh, that's right.
01:44:49.000 I forgot about that.
01:44:50.000 Yeah, no, I wouldn't say anonymous.
01:44:51.000 I forgot about that.
01:44:51.000 You may have been anonymous.
01:44:53.000 I was anonymous.
01:44:53.000 But I was on Sesame Street and- How much attention did you get from that?
01:44:58.000 From my third grade class, I was very impressed when it was played for them.
01:45:03.000 Yeah, we played it on the big screen.
01:45:04.000 Were you like the king of the class?
01:45:05.000 Well, for the day.
01:45:05.000 Where are you?
01:45:06.000 We played this.
01:45:07.000 Yeah, we played this.
01:45:08.000 You're in the back, right?
01:45:08.000 The blue shirt?
01:45:09.000 There you go.
01:45:10.000 See, everyone goes, it was not diverse.
01:45:11.000 It was always diverse.
01:45:13.000 Yeah, look at that.
01:45:14.000 It's pretty diverse.
01:45:15.000 Sesame Street was always one of the most progressive shows.
01:45:18.000 Yeah, it was progressive.
01:45:19.000 This is what I did.
01:45:20.000 This was...
01:45:21.000 Is that the Snuffleupagus?
01:45:22.000 Yeah.
01:45:23.000 Yeah, what was he?
01:45:24.000 Some drug addict.
01:45:27.000 Wasn't a drug addict in real life?
01:45:29.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00
01:45:30.000 They were all fucked up. 1.00
01:45:31.000 Does he have two arms inside that thing? 1.00
01:45:33.000 Is that what's going on? 1.00
01:45:33.000 Dude, I mean, all these people were so fucked up. 1.00
01:45:36.000 I mean... 1.00
01:45:36.000 Were they? 1.00
01:45:37.000 Yeah, a lot of them were.
01:45:38.000 Did you meet them?
01:45:39.000 You would see them.
01:45:41.000 Like, the guy who did Big Bird was, like, kind of meth-y looking.
01:45:43.000 That guy, Carol, you know?
01:45:46.000 And then I only did the show twice.
01:45:47.000 I did that, and I did a...
01:45:51.000 Another thing.
01:45:52.000 And then they sent me a letter when I was in third grade, just like, we can't use you anymore.
01:45:55.000 Why?
01:45:55.000 Because it was a hilarious letter I put up on some social media where they said, our audience is younger, our audience is now two to four, and they don't want to see, like, nine-year-olds.
01:46:06.000 This was a fact.
01:46:07.000 Wow.
01:46:07.000 Or 11-year-olds, whatever.
01:46:08.000 You were too big.
01:46:09.000 Yeah, but that's why I learned how to be in this business, because you faced rejection.
01:46:14.000 Yeah.
01:46:14.000 I went on auditions when I was a little kid all the time, and you would just be in the middle of the script, you'd be reading it, and the guy would go, yeah, thank you for coming.
01:46:21.000 I was talking to this dude once, he was a martial arts guy that was also an actor, and he was saying that the real problem in Hollywood is that they don't have enough roles for Asian people.
01:46:32.000 But he wasn't saying it like, you know, as an Asian guy, it's very difficult for me to get parts.
01:46:38.000 He was saying like Hollywood has a responsibility to write roles and to have roles for Asian people. 0.92
01:46:45.000 And I remember me and him having this conversation and part of me wanted to see it from his perspective and go, yeah, that's got to suck.
01:46:54.000 Because imagine if you're an Asian man and you're trying to act in Hollywood and there's a hundred movies, but there's only one role for an Asian man. 0.92
01:47:01.000 But there's like 99 roles or 250,000 roles for a white guy.
01:47:05.000 Right.
01:47:06.000 Like, what do you do?
01:47:07.000 That's tough.
01:47:08.000 But is it the responsibility of Hollywood to write for Asian people?
01:47:12.000 Because my take on it was like, okay, if you're a guy and you're a screenwriter and you have a vision, you're not thinking, I want to make two black lesbians and one Asian guy and have as few white people as possible.
01:47:26.000 What I want to do is just make a movie.
01:47:28.000 Right.
01:47:28.000 And I have a movie about a monster chasing people.
01:47:30.000 I don't give a fuck who he kills. 0.99
01:47:31.000 I'm not thinking about it that way. 0.99
01:47:33.000 But his responsibility was Hollywood is an industry and they need to make space for Asian people.
01:47:40.000 Yeah, I think there are weird blind spots.
01:47:42.000 It was weird that they never had an Asian person on SNL for years.
01:47:45.000 It was weird that they never had a black woman on SNL. When did the first Asian person get on SNL? Recently. 0.94
01:47:50.000 Was that that guy that's on it right now?
01:47:51.000 Yeah.
01:47:51.000 Really?
01:47:52.000 It's weird that they...
01:47:55.000 But a lot of the people that write for these comedy shows are all Harvard white guys.
01:47:58.000 It's not even like working-class guys.
01:48:00.000 It's like people that all come out of Harvard, all come out of Yale.
01:48:02.000 Same with news radio.
01:48:03.000 When I was on news radio, a lot of the writers came from there.
01:48:05.000 Oh, yeah.
01:48:06.000 So there are these blind spots, and I think that you do want different types of people that bring different things to the table.
01:48:12.000 I think what happens is, You also have to understand and accept the fact that there may just be less Asian people pursuing comedy.
01:48:20.000 That's also a fact.
01:48:21.000 There's perhaps less.
01:48:22.000 Yeah.
01:48:22.000 But I mean, this isn't even comedy.
01:48:24.000 We're talking about just acting.
01:48:25.000 And there's going to be less.
01:48:26.000 There's going to be more white people because the majority of the country has been white for so long that when you look at the movies and the TV shows, they're all going to be predominantly white because that's the majority population. 0.89
01:48:38.000 But yeah, Hollywood should do a better job of...
01:48:43.000 Writing roles for different types of people.
01:48:45.000 Right, but whose job is that to do?
01:48:47.000 Because if you're thinking about a guy who's a screenwriter, if you're just a dude and you're some Quentin Tarantino character, you're just trying to write some crazy, wild movie that's going to be an awesome movie, you're most likely not thinking about making sure that the cast is diverse.
01:49:03.000 I think you got to hire an Asian screenwriter.
01:49:05.000 Well, this conversation that I had with this guy was like in the early 2000s or the late 90s.
01:49:10.000 It was quite a while ago.
01:49:11.000 Yeah.
01:49:12.000 But I remember being in a situation where part of me wanted to argue against it, and part of me wanted to argue for it.
01:49:17.000 So from his position, I was like, yeah, I get it.
01:49:19.000 I see what you're saying. 1.00
01:49:20.000 It's got to suck. 0.96
01:49:21.000 But then I was like, but man, if you're a guy who's got a vision, and your vision is like four white guys go camping and they get eaten by a werewolf, and that's the whole movie. 0.97
01:49:29.000 Like, what...
01:49:30.000 Is it your job to cast an Asian guy? 0.69
01:49:33.000 Is it your job to decide one of these guys is Asian?
01:49:36.000 I think it's about stories, right? 0.89
01:49:38.000 So you got to look at like where you would look at like obviously every movie is not for white guys get eaten by a guy.
01:49:45.000 So you look at like what are interesting stories that may emanate from Like, find stories about Asian people.
01:49:53.000 And I think that can be done.
01:49:55.000 People should do a better job of that.
01:49:57.000 I think it's studio heads going...
01:49:58.000 Because there are markets, right?
01:50:00.000 There's markets out there that are underserved.
01:50:02.000 So there are people that want to see those movies that aren't getting them.
01:50:04.000 And then when you have Black Panther, when you had Black Panther, people were like, okay, we want to see this.
01:50:10.000 This is a big movie.
01:50:10.000 So I think it's just the job is finding those markets out there that make...
01:50:15.000 Because nobody does anything unless it makes them money.
01:50:17.000 Right.
01:50:17.000 So I think what they're afraid of is doing things that fail, doing things that don't make the money.
01:50:21.000 So I think once it's shown that these things are profitable and they do make money and people do want to see them, you'll see more of it.
01:50:29.000 I think now we've gone the other way where it's an overcorrection where we're putting identity above talent.
01:50:34.000 Yeah.
01:50:34.000 That becomes a huge problem.
01:50:36.000 That is a problem.
01:50:37.000 Because the game is supposed to be that everybody, regardless of who they are, has to compete and their talent has to be the main driving factor.
01:50:46.000 Because the problem with that is you get bad actors, and I don't mean bad actors in terms of not being good at acting.
01:50:52.000 I mean people that are acting in bad faith.
01:50:54.000 They decide to play off of their identity versus talent, and they try to weasel their way in a position to get roles.
01:51:04.000 And it lowers the quality of everything.
01:51:08.000 And by the way, it's actually not the really funny comedians or the really good actors that are minorities that get chosen. 0.54
01:51:16.000 It actually happens to be the people that are the most political and the loudest and the most able to take advantage of the system.
01:51:25.000 So you see actually a lot of really funny comedians get passed over in favor of people that are just very good at optics.
01:51:34.000 And I think that's the problem.
01:51:35.000 I think we all want more diverse We want things that are interesting.
01:51:40.000 We want opportunity for everybody.
01:51:41.000 I want opportunity for everybody.
01:51:42.000 I also get bored.
01:51:43.000 I don't want to watch just four white guys in the woods get eaten by a werewolf.
01:51:46.000 What if it's a good movie, though?
01:51:48.000 Yeah, I want to watch it once, but then I also want to see different types of movies.
01:51:52.000 Absolutely.
01:51:53.000 Remember that Mickey Rourke movie?
01:51:54.000 Absolutely.
01:51:56.000 That's one of the crazy things.
01:51:57.000 I had this wild conversation with Quentin Tarantino that's become a big deal about Bruce Lee.
01:52:03.000 He was kind of critical of Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and painted him in a way that a lot of people...
01:52:10.000 And he defended it.
01:52:11.000 But the point is, when Bruce Lee came along, he was the coolest person on earth.
01:52:22.000 Right.
01:52:29.000 Right.
01:52:30.000 Right.
01:52:30.000 Right.
01:52:48.000 Not unrecognized, but uncelebrated class.
01:52:54.000 A Chinese martial arts actor.
01:52:57.000 That didn't exist.
01:52:59.000 Now was the most important.
01:53:00.000 One of the biggest, most popular actors in the country.
01:53:04.000 Which is nuts.
01:53:05.000 That's never happened before. 0.95
01:53:06.000 Where one guy breaks through in a genre and literally transcends all of Hollywood and became Bruce fucking Lee.
01:53:14.000 Where when you thought about martial arts, you thought of Bruce Lee, and he was literally one of the biggest stars on earth. 0.62
01:53:21.000 Right.
01:53:22.000 Which is nuts.
01:53:23.000 No, and that's the whole importance of having people like that.
01:53:27.000 Yeah.
01:53:28.000 Well, it's also, like, there was so many things going on there.
01:53:31.000 There was, like, incredible talent, incredible physical looks, like he was shredded. 0.97
01:53:38.000 No one the fuck was shredded back then. 0.91
01:53:40.000 Nobody was shredded like that. 0.96
01:53:40.000 Yeah. 0.96
01:53:40.000 When Bruce Lee would take off his shirt and go, I guess, and pull his lats up, nobody was built like that back then. 0.96
01:53:46.000 Right. 0.98
01:53:46.000 I mean, he was fucking shredded. 0.98
01:53:48.000 Yeah. 0.98
01:53:49.000 Nobody, like, who back then had a six-pack like Bruce Lee?
01:53:53.000 Nobody.
01:53:53.000 Nobody!
01:53:54.000 And by the way, no steroids back then either.
01:53:56.000 Or if there was, I mean, I don't think actors were on them.
01:53:59.000 Like, maybe Bulgarian weightlifters were on them.
01:54:01.000 It's an interesting question, though, whose responsibility is it?
01:54:04.000 I think it's just, it's everybody who's got to work together a little bit.
01:54:08.000 You know, I don't think it falls on any one person.
01:54:10.000 Well, one of the beautiful things about our job, or our business, the world of stand-up comedy, is the most accepting of diversity, period. 0.97
01:54:18.000 All you have to do is kill. 0.94
01:54:19.000 That is true. 0.99
01:54:20.000 If you kill, it is in many ways a real meritocracy.
01:54:24.000 Yes. 1.00
01:54:24.000 That if you're a fucking murderer, if you're a three-foot-tall, half-Asian, half-black, transsexual person, but you go on stage and fucking rock the house, Then you're in. 1.00
01:54:35.000 All comics want to give you knuckles and all comics want to go, have you seen him? 1.00
01:54:39.000 Or her?
01:54:39.000 Or they?
01:54:39.000 Or her?
01:54:40.000 Or Zer? 0.91
01:54:41.000 Right.
01:54:41.000 Right.
01:54:42.000 They're fucking murdering. 1.00
01:54:43.000 Well, that's it. 1.00
01:54:43.000 It's the people that can't do that that then have to invent the other qualifications. 1.00
01:54:47.000 Exactly.
01:54:47.000 They invent the other criteria.
01:54:49.000 That's the people who are always bitching about lineups. 0.98
01:54:51.000 They're going, look at that lineup. 0.75
01:54:52.000 It's all white men. 0.98
01:54:54.000 Yeah.
01:54:54.000 Like, okay.
01:54:55.000 Well, guess what? 1.00
01:54:55.000 If you went on that lineup and you murdered, they'd put you right the fuck there at the top of the marquee like everybody else who murders. 1.00
01:55:01.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:55:01.000 Right. 1.00
01:55:02.000 Whether it's Ali Wong or Whitney Cummings or Eliza Schlesinger or whoever the fuck it is. 0.99
01:55:08.000 Ms. Pat. 1.00
01:55:08.000 Whoever the fuck it is that murders. 1.00
01:55:10.000 When you murder, you're treated with utmost respect. 1.00
01:55:14.000 It's just the business is hard.
01:55:16.000 Well, that's also a lot of people don't like meritocracy.
01:55:18.000 So I think that's a huge problem.
01:55:20.000 There's a lot of people that aren't a fan of the word.
01:55:23.000 They don't believe there's any type of meritocracy that exists ever.
01:55:26.000 Maybe not a pure one.
01:55:27.000 Well, nothing's pure. 0.99
01:55:29.000 I mean, walk around a locker room, some guys have 2 inch dicks, some guys have 9 inch dicks. 0.99
01:55:32.000 It just is what it is, right? 0.99
01:55:34.000 It's not a meritocracy.
01:55:35.000 So everybody has advantages, inherent advantages.
01:55:38.000 But I do think that comedy comes the closest.
01:55:41.000 It's pretty close.
01:55:43.000 Although, I will say that I think it's way more difficult to be a comic and be a woman.
01:55:49.000 Because there's certain subjects that people, like, maybe prejudiced people don't want to hear you talk about, like guys.
01:55:55.000 Like, guys don't want to hear a woman telling people what to do. 1.00
01:55:59.000 Like, you don't mind if a guy goes on stage, like some guys don't mind, if a guy goes on stage and goes, what we need to fucking do in this country is this, that, and the other thing, and if it's funny, people laugh. 0.99
01:56:10.000 When a girl goes on stage and says, what we need to do in this country is this, that, and they're like, what you need to do is get back in the fucking kitchen. 0.99
01:56:16.000 Right. 0.99
01:56:17.000 There's guys who have that kind of attitude. 0.97
01:56:18.000 Sex, very difficult. 0.99
01:56:20.000 If women talk about sex, either they're perceived as a slut or they're perceived in a weird way. 1.00
01:56:27.000 You have to have... 0.99
01:56:28.000 Your take on sex can't be as...
01:56:32.000 Open as a guy's take on sex. 0.91
01:56:34.000 Guys can talk about blowjobs or this or that, and people just accept it. 0.95
01:56:41.000 This is what guys talk about.
01:56:42.000 Whereas if a girl talks about those kind of things, there's a certain amount of people in the audience that are going to be hesitant to listen to these discussions.
01:56:50.000 It's a hundred percent.
01:56:51.000 It's a hundred percent.
01:56:52.000 Trickier.
01:56:53.000 But it's also how do you fix that?
01:56:56.000 You can't.
01:56:56.000 Can't.
01:56:57.000 You can't because it's a society thing.
01:56:58.000 That's a thing.
01:56:59.000 So if a woman gets through that net, if a woman becomes a Miss Pat and pops through, it's even more impressive. 0.98
01:57:05.000 Right, of course.
01:57:07.000 Agreed. 0.94
01:57:07.000 So the people that bitch about the lineups, like they'll bitch about it and say, you know, I should be on that lineup. 0.94
01:57:15.000 Well, Maybe it's more difficult for you to get through. 0.95
01:57:19.000 That is true. 0.99
01:57:20.000 But at the end of the day, if there's only 10 slots, should they give a slot to someone who's not as good as someone who's on that lineup just because that person has a vagina? 0.99
01:57:29.000 Well, there is a changing definition of what comedy is, and we're not going to like it. 0.95
01:57:34.000 I imagine that real comedy will survive in some capacity, but there is a changing definition of what comedy is.
01:57:42.000 Comedy has now become, I'm here to speak my truth, I'm here to talk, you're here to listen, and this idea of punching and hard, killing and fun, that is still the comedy that people want to see, it's still the comedy that makes money in clubs, it's still the comedy that people go to theaters to see.
01:57:59.000 But there's a vastly different understanding of what comedy is from a lot of people that are getting into it now.
01:58:05.000 Many, many people are getting into comedy now with a very different value system and idea of what it is.
01:58:10.000 Truly.
01:58:11.000 And we can hate that.
01:58:13.000 And they may all go away.
01:58:14.000 And they may not matter.
01:58:16.000 Nobody cares about what's on TV anymore, really.
01:58:18.000 I mean, and that's part of the reason. 0.99
01:58:19.000 Because everything sucks. 0.97
01:58:21.000 Not everything, but a large amount of things. 0.99
01:58:24.000 But here's the thing.
01:58:24.000 A lot of people want to go see people go speak their truth.
01:58:27.000 And those people are entitled to do that.
01:58:29.000 No, they're not.
01:58:30.000 They don't.
01:58:31.000 Because here's the reality.
01:58:32.000 If that was the case, they wouldn't bitch about lineups. 0.99
01:58:35.000 Yeah, but okay.
01:58:35.000 What about Hannah Gadsby?
01:58:37.000 Not a lot of people want to go see her.
01:58:39.000 That's not true.
01:58:39.000 That's not true.
01:58:40.000 She sells out theaters. 1.00
01:58:41.000 She used to.
01:58:42.000 And then people went to that second thing where she's like, Picasso is the right bit.
01:58:45.000 The second one that she did, people started to go, oh, okay.
01:58:50.000 You can do the magic trick once.
01:58:52.000 The second time you do it, people start going, oh, okay. 1.00
01:58:57.000 No, she'll work the festival circuit forever, but the reality is, I get she was big shit that moment, but how many times can you just get up and go, men sucks, somebody hit me with a dick on a bus, God bless her, but after a while, it starts to get stale. 0.99
01:59:13.000 You know when, I think she lost a lot of people, she did this women in Hollywood thing? 1.00
01:59:17.000 Yes.
01:59:18.000 And she was talking about the good men.
01:59:20.000 The good men.
01:59:21.000 Drawing on the good men. 0.98
01:59:21.000 And she was shitting on guys who are good guys. 0.98
01:59:24.000 The jimmies. 0.99
01:59:25.000 The jimmies of the world.
01:59:26.000 And everybody's like, wait, wait, wait.
01:59:27.000 Now, you're attacking guys who...
01:59:30.000 Don't attack people?
01:59:31.000 Yeah.
01:59:32.000 Like, what are you saying?
01:59:33.000 Well, because you're all no good men, Joe.
01:59:35.000 That's the point.
01:59:35.000 There's no good men because good men defend bad men and I don't really know where I am.
01:59:39.000 My friends from Australia who had seen her do comedy before were saying that she was essentially kind of like a mid-level comic in terms of the jokes.
01:59:48.000 But what people really resonated with in that special was not jokes.
01:59:52.000 Watch the most woke people online.
01:59:54.000 They're kind of haxed. 0.99
01:59:55.000 You're like Catskill Hacks. 0.99
01:59:56.000 That was a whole type of comedy where they'd get up and go, Can you believe I'm doing this?
02:00:00.000 It's like ironic, detached comedy.
02:00:03.000 Is it?
02:00:05.000 And it's like, no, it's much harder to actually do it and then succeed or fail.
02:00:08.000 Well, there was a thing about alt comics for a long time where they were upset at comics from the store because they put too much effort out when they were on stage.
02:00:16.000 There was literally a criticism.
02:00:18.000 They put too much energy.
02:00:19.000 They cared too much.
02:00:20.000 They were too entertaining.
02:00:21.000 So because they didn't do that, they didn't like that other comics did that.
02:00:24.000 And it was their escape clause.
02:00:26.000 Like, I don't do that kind of comedy.
02:00:27.000 Right.
02:00:28.000 I do a much more ironic, much more sedate comedy that's much more intelligent.
02:00:32.000 And you want to talk about white supremacy, the alternative rooms in New York City where I started were whiter than the Charlottesville march.
02:00:40.000 And they were all rich white suburban kids who had gone to theater arts summer camps and they were like, you know, and then they would be like, you know, they would do these, you know, some of them were funny and some of them got famous and whatever, but the vast majority of them became writers on shows that they hated or whatever.
02:00:56.000 And a lot of them just went really mainstream.
02:00:58.000 And I mean, some of them now write for like network sitcoms and stuff.
02:01:01.000 And they were like, they were the guys in Brooklyn who were like, you know, in 2011, they had the beard and the thing.
02:01:06.000 And now they're writing for CBS sitcoms.
02:01:08.000 I mean, you know, it's what happens.
02:01:10.000 But the criticism of people that are giving out effort, like the idea that comedy has to be one style of comedy.
02:01:17.000 Right.
02:01:17.000 Like, I never had a problem with people who talk slowly.
02:01:22.000 No.
02:01:23.000 Because there's a lot of really funny...
02:01:25.000 Look, Stephen Wright is one of the best examples ever.
02:01:27.000 He's got one of the most bland deliveries of all time, very slow, slow burn, and one of the best comics of all time.
02:01:34.000 I've never...
02:01:35.000 I don't care at all about...
02:01:37.000 What people do and who they are.
02:01:39.000 I think the criticism usually hits.
02:01:43.000 It's never like I'm never going into Brooklyn and going, why am I not on that lineup?
02:01:49.000 I'm never doing that.
02:01:50.000 I'm never going into Echo Park and going, I want to be in that lineup in the back of the bookstore where everybody's drinking coffee and everyone has BLM in their profile picture, but their parents both work at Goldman Sachs.
02:02:03.000 I'm not saying I want to be on that lineup.
02:02:06.000 Those are the people that are pointing at the store and the improv and the seller of this and that and going, this is unfair, this doesn't work.
02:02:13.000 Also, those people that are on that lineup, they were getting robbed.
02:02:16.000 A lot of those people were doing shows like for the UCB where they were getting no money.
02:02:20.000 They get no money because they're paid in accolades and handshakes and backpats and exposure.
02:02:25.000 Meanwhile, they're selling tickets.
02:02:27.000 Yeah, they're paid in exposure.
02:02:28.000 But they're selling tickets.
02:02:29.000 I know.
02:02:30.000 They're paying people that work there, but the only people that don't get paid are the comics themselves.
02:02:33.000 Well, you know, it's what happened.
02:02:34.000 The hipster thing, that era of comedy died hard.
02:02:38.000 And it died hard because they didn't talk about anything real.
02:02:40.000 They talked about everything was a literary reference, usually an arcane literary reference.
02:02:45.000 And it was very uncomfortable to bring up anything real.
02:02:48.000 And then I think during the Obama administration, that was fun.
02:02:51.000 It was like, great, everyone can ride unicycles and dress like train conductors from the...
02:02:57.000 You know, 1920s.
02:02:58.000 And then, like, what happened was as soon as Trump happened, it was a hard stop.
02:03:02.000 And then that era of comedy died because they were like, uh-oh, we're white. 0.99
02:03:05.000 We're the enemy.
02:03:06.000 And it's all these rich kids that went to NYU. And all of a sudden, like, they had to talk about real stuff.
02:03:11.000 They completely didn't know how to do it. 0.99
02:03:12.000 They were completely ill-prepared to do it because everything had been, like, bullshit forever. 0.99
02:03:17.000 And then it just became all about politics. 0.98
02:03:19.000 And it's just like now you go to those shows and people just sit there and Somebody goes up and makes a point they agree with and they clap.
02:03:25.000 I mean, it's become completely, you know, political.
02:03:28.000 It's kind of weird.
02:03:29.000 But whatever.
02:03:29.000 I mean, hey, it's like, listen, I would never say don't have it happen.
02:03:33.000 I would never be like, it's wrong.
02:03:35.000 I don't think it's funny.
02:03:36.000 But hey, whoever enjoys that, which my argument is that no one really does, they feel like they have to.
02:03:41.000 You don't think that people enjoyed Hannah Gadsby?
02:03:44.000 I think they enjoyed the idea of it.
02:03:46.000 There was an idea that came along with it.
02:03:48.000 It wasn't just head against me.
02:03:49.000 It was an idea that came along with it that people really subscribed to.
02:03:53.000 And if you enjoyed it, God bless you, and that's great.
02:03:56.000 But I think it was a moment...
02:04:00.000 Where it's like, finally, someone can tell the truth.
02:04:04.000 I mean, the entire special had a very big political overtone, which is like, I'm here to tell people... 0.97
02:04:15.000 You know, my truth, and she made a lot of statements about comedy, and she goes, this is what comedy has been for straight white men who rape, and now I am here. 0.94
02:04:24.000 That was pretty much, that was the argument. 0.96
02:04:27.000 That was the idea. 0.99
02:04:29.000 Comedy was for straight white rapists, and now I'm here to say that the game has changed. 0.97
02:04:36.000 And so people like that idea. 0.98
02:04:37.000 I think she thought the game had changed for a while.
02:04:40.000 I think the initial success was like- And we also know that there's people in comedy that are very bad and abusive, but it doesn't mean that this is hot.
02:04:47.000 No, it's insane.
02:04:48.000 But in the beginning, I think when things caught on, I think it was this thing that happens to people when they become very successful, very quickly, is that all of a sudden they assume some sort of a role of being an arbiter of what's good and what's bad.
02:05:06.000 Right.
02:05:07.000 Right.
02:05:08.000 You know that thing that happens where they just decide what, in terms of the art form.
02:05:13.000 Like, this is what's gonna happen now.
02:05:15.000 Right.
02:05:16.000 And there was a statement that she had made about Louis C.K., about something about how she was gonna come, you know, like if he came back then her work was not done.
02:05:24.000 Yes.
02:05:24.000 Remember that?
02:05:25.000 Yeah, well that's why people like me, I didn't care about the special, but I was just like, this seems a little much.
02:05:31.000 I would say, I'd be like, this seems a little much.
02:05:33.000 I don't want to control what anyone watches or sees.
02:05:36.000 I get deeply skeptical of people that want to control.
02:05:39.000 When you want a lot of control, when you want to really either censor people or shame them into not watching, I get very, very nervous about that.
02:05:48.000 I'm very skeptical of all those people.
02:05:50.000 They're scary to me.
02:05:52.000 Well, the way you and I became friends was you had a post about Louis CK, and I reached out to you because I think you were dead right.
02:05:59.000 You were saying that there's some legitimate criticisms of what he did, but there was also some people that were jumping on board because they were marginally talented at best, and they were seeing this as an opportunity to use what's happening to him to gain- This is how they can compete.
02:06:15.000 We all want to structure the world in a way that we can compete.
02:06:18.000 And I think they look at people on stage killing and go, I can't do that. 1.00
02:06:22.000 And then when the Louis story happened, they said, well, yes, fuck him. 0.99
02:06:26.000 He was never funny. 0.99
02:06:27.000 And the benefit of that is if Louis was never funny, well, then if you knock him off, then the standard is different, right?
02:06:34.000 Because we all were in agreement that he's one of the greats.
02:06:37.000 So if you get rid of all of those people and say, well, they're just there because they're white men.
02:06:41.000 Then the standard of the art can actually be just debased so that anybody can get involved.
02:06:47.000 I mean, that's just what it is and I think that's what I saw happening where a lot of people that were going, hey, and they like comfort and they hate risk And that's why a lot of what they do is mediocre.
02:06:59.000 And that's what I put in the post.
02:07:00.000 They always work.
02:07:01.000 All these people that are angry always work.
02:07:03.000 They're always in a writer's room.
02:07:04.000 They're always somewhere.
02:07:06.000 Very few of them have nothing.
02:07:08.000 But they don't get the recognition they think they deserve.
02:07:10.000 Because they don't take the risks.
02:07:11.000 They never become great.
02:07:13.000 They never try to get great.
02:07:14.000 They don't have it in them.
02:07:16.000 They like sidelines.
02:07:17.000 They like the bench.
02:07:19.000 And they like to sit there.
02:07:20.000 And they hate the people that are out playing.
02:07:23.000 And it's just, they're always angry.
02:07:25.000 There's always a little anger that's...
02:07:27.000 And then when something happens, like what happened to Louis, then they feel like, okay, it's safe for that anger to bubble up to the surface.
02:07:33.000 What made me furious was...
02:07:34.000 That bothered me, and I agreed with you on that, but what made me furious was when his leaked set came out.
02:07:41.000 Yeah.
02:07:42.000 And comics that were...
02:07:48.000 Mediocre.
02:07:48.000 Mediocre comics.
02:07:50.000 We're talking about how horrible the set was and how terrible a person he was for joking about those things.
02:07:57.000 Right.
02:07:57.000 And I was like, where were you during all of his specials?
02:08:01.000 One of my favorite things was a tweet.
02:08:04.000 During Curb Your Enthusiasm, it was the same thing where they said, you know, the latest season of Curb, they go, it just doesn't feel like a white guy complaining about all these little meaningless things.
02:08:15.000 It just doesn't hit the same way.
02:08:16.000 And I'm like, so it was funny during the Iraq War?
02:08:19.000 Was it funny during Abu Ghraib?
02:08:21.000 Was it funny during Guantanamo?
02:08:22.000 It's really just these people feel like it's safe now.
02:08:26.000 To say that.
02:08:27.000 To say that and to pile on, which is why they're not successful, because if they said things that were unsafe, that their whole, you know, the way that their brain works, if they weren't constantly looking for a safe harbor, they might actually do something good.
02:08:42.000 They might take a chance.
02:08:43.000 They might take a chance.
02:08:45.000 Yeah, the attacks on Louis, particularly after he had gone from 10 months of not doing stand-up to doing one set, right?
02:08:53.000 So he literally, this is his first setback.
02:08:55.000 Someone records his first setback, and in that he has jokes about school shootings, he's got jokes about other things that people think are inappropriate, but you go back and listen to his old specials. 0.98
02:09:07.000 That was his whole fucking act. 0.98
02:09:09.000 Yes. 1.00
02:09:10.000 His part of what he does, which is hilarious, is say shit you're not supposed to say. 0.99
02:09:16.000 And he doesn't necessarily even mean what he's saying. 0.98
02:09:19.000 He's saying it because it's a crazy thing to say, and because there's a craft to it, and he's saying these crazy things in a very fun way.
02:09:28.000 Do you think he really thinks that the reason why these guys are talking is because they push some other kid in front of the gunman?
02:09:34.000 No. 0.99
02:09:35.000 He's saying it because it's a fucked up thing to say. 0.99
02:09:38.000 Absolutely. 0.99
02:09:38.000 And when you're drinking and you're at a comedy club and someone says something like that, you're like, ah! 0.99
02:09:43.000 You're not drinking, you're fucking sober. 0.96
02:09:45.000 You're there to see comedy. 1.00
02:09:46.000 You're in this sort of environment where you're laughing at shit that's fucked up. 1.00
02:09:51.000 And then he says something like that. 1.00
02:09:52.000 It's hilarious.
02:09:53.000 And it is perfectly in line with his entire career.
02:09:57.000 Yeah, it's not a surprise. 1.00
02:09:58.000 So to hear people that were praising him as brilliant and a genius up to the point where he got in trouble for jerking off in front of women, now saying that he's a monster and that he's alt-right and he's a piece of shit and that he has no heart and he's a hack, I was furious. 0.99
02:10:12.000 And to this day, I refuse to talk to a lot of those people. 0.99
02:10:15.000 Well, yeah, but those people are on a team, right?
02:10:19.000 And they look at each other and they go, is it time?
02:10:21.000 And it's like, again, it's that- It's team mediocre.
02:10:24.000 It's a strategy.
02:10:25.000 It's a strategy.
02:10:25.000 It's a way to get in.
02:10:28.000 It's a way to get in, and all these people that are supposedly revolutionaries, they rely on the most antiquated form of the entertainment business, which is working for multinational conglomerates.
02:10:39.000 I mean, they work for large corporations.
02:10:41.000 They're told what to say.
02:10:42.000 Everything's vetted against sales, standards of practices, advertising.
02:10:46.000 It is the most antiquated way to put any content out, and yet they are dependent entirely on that system 100%, all the while Saying that a guy like you, you're the problem because you have a podcast where you broadcast directly to your fans.
02:11:04.000 And they have these...
02:11:07.000 Somehow they're not the powerful ones.
02:11:10.000 Somehow they're not the powerful ones even though they work for NBC, ABC, Viacom.
02:11:17.000 These massive corporations and yet somehow...
02:11:21.000 They are always looking at the power differential going, oh, those guys are podcasting this and that, the other thing.
02:11:27.000 We're not oppressing anybody.
02:11:29.000 I don't care what anyone does.
02:11:32.000 Not only are we not oppressing anybody, it's one of the best industries you could ever possibly describe.
02:11:36.000 If you wanted to have a discussion of an industry where the people involved in it wholeheartedly support the other people involved in it, with no financial benefit whatsoever.
02:11:46.000 Other than like you know abstract, but yeah, you think about the way comics who or even people that just have pod like Lex Have each other on each other's podcast discuss each other talk about great stuff.
02:11:57.000 They saw yeah, I can't talk about people's good stuff enough I I love when people do good work.
02:12:04.000 I love when people do great comics.
02:12:05.000 I love when people do great discussions on podcasts.
02:12:08.000 I love great authors.
02:12:09.000 I love things that are interesting to me.
02:12:10.000 And I can't wait to talk about them.
02:12:13.000 I love talking about them.
02:12:14.000 I don't want to talk about them specifically because it's going to benefit me.
02:12:20.000 I want to benefit them.
02:12:21.000 Well, you saw potential early on in this.
02:12:26.000 You saw potential in the UFC. You see it in Austin.
02:12:30.000 You are good early.
02:12:32.000 Most people don't get it until it's too late.
02:12:35.000 Well, I have brain damage.
02:12:37.000 And because of that, I'm a risk taker.
02:12:39.000 I'm one of those guys that's willing to jump.
02:12:41.000 I'm like, I think I can make it.
02:12:43.000 Yeah.
02:12:43.000 Let's jump.
02:12:44.000 And I think a lot of people...
02:12:46.000 Are so adverse to taking those types of risks that they end up hating those who do.
02:12:51.000 Well, I think I have just enough brain damage.
02:12:53.000 I have like a mild amount.
02:12:55.000 So it just makes...
02:12:56.000 I get thrilled by chances and risks.
02:12:59.000 But that's not even...
02:13:00.000 It's also...
02:13:01.000 There was no strategy involved in doing this podcast.
02:13:04.000 It was simply done because it's something I enjoy doing.
02:13:07.000 So as I did it, I just kept enjoying doing it.
02:13:09.000 And one of the things that I liked about it was like, hey, go see this guy. 0.96
02:13:13.000 He's fucking hilarious. 0.96
02:13:13.000 Right. 0.96
02:13:14.000 Go see her movie.
02:13:15.000 It's brilliant.
02:13:15.000 Go read this book.
02:13:17.000 I love telling people about shit that I thought was cool. 0.98
02:13:20.000 And it's also content. 0.98
02:13:22.000 It's a good thing to talk about.
02:13:23.000 You need things to talk about.
02:13:26.000 Why not kill two birds with one stone?
02:13:28.000 You help people that you think are good and talented, and then you also entertain people at the same time.
02:13:33.000 Yeah.
02:13:34.000 I mean, it's the reason that you have the people that don't like you.
02:13:41.000 It's because, you know, that's what it is.
02:13:43.000 It's like you actually did it and you don't rely on it.
02:13:47.000 You don't need anybody.
02:13:49.000 That's the difference.
02:13:50.000 All the people that are angry, they're resentful that they need to feel a certain way about things publicly.
02:13:57.000 They don't like that.
02:13:58.000 People...
02:13:59.000 I think in their soul, they make all these allowances, but they don't want to be owned.
02:14:08.000 Down deep, they don't like being owned, and you're not owned, and a lot of them are, and that's where a lot of the hostility comes from.
02:14:15.000 Because even though they've disguised being owned and altruism, and they're great, and they're this and that, at the end of the day, I think people genuinely don't like that feeling, and a lot of people that we know experience that feeling all the time.
02:14:29.000 Well, you see when people get fired for some of the most innocuous things.
02:14:34.000 Here's a perfect example.
02:14:35.000 Gina Carano getting fired from the Star Wars franchise because she equated people... 1.00
02:14:42.000 How exactly did she do it? 0.97
02:14:45.000 It wasn't the best analogy.
02:14:47.000 Right.
02:14:48.000 She's saying it was Nazi Germany.
02:14:50.000 People are afraid to share their opinions like Jews in Nazi Germany.
02:14:53.000 Something like that.
02:14:54.000 She was saying it about how we look at people that are on the opposite perspective politically as if they're the other, and that this is a dangerous thing.
02:15:04.000 And she equated it to Nazi Germany.
02:15:07.000 I might be paraphrasing this terribly, but see if we can find out exactly what she said.
02:15:11.000 We'll find out what she said.
02:15:13.000 Anytime you equate anything with Nazi Germany, you're in a landmine.
02:15:16.000 Right.
02:15:17.000 You stepped on a minefield.
02:15:18.000 It's not a great comparison.
02:15:20.000 Unless you're literally talking about someone who's trying to take over a country and do something horrific.
02:15:26.000 Unless you're talking about Donald Trump, which people got away with for many years.
02:15:29.000 Yes, constantly.
02:15:30.000 But because she is somewhat conservative, although I don't believe she's socially conservative at all, which is like a lot of people.
02:15:38.000 Know anything about her, yeah.
02:15:39.000 She's a very nice lady. 0.97
02:15:40.000 Gina Carano's a very nice lady. 0.98
02:15:42.000 And she's also an amazing fighter. 0.99
02:15:44.000 She was one of the top women mixed martial arts pioneers ever.
02:15:49.000 Well, they're gonna make movies, her and Ben Shapiro, right?
02:15:51.000 At the Daily Wire or something?
02:15:53.000 They're like making films now.
02:15:55.000 Right?
02:15:55.000 They're making a film.
02:15:56.000 They're gonna do something where it's like...
02:15:59.000 I think one of their movies was like there was a school shooting happening and then like some girl shows up with a gun like Laura Croft in Tomb Raider and just kills a school shooter.
02:16:07.000 It was like a pro-gun movie.
02:16:08.000 For real?
02:16:09.000 Yeah.
02:16:09.000 They're doing stuff like that.
02:16:10.000 But hey.
02:16:11.000 That's legit?
02:16:12.000 Whatever they want.
02:16:13.000 Is that really the plot?
02:16:14.000 That's exactly the plot.
02:16:15.000 Yeah, it's some girl who learned how to use guns so she's like, I'll stop this. 0.99
02:16:21.000 So it's a little politically motivated, just a bit.
02:16:25.000 Well, a lot of movies are politically motivated, right?
02:16:28.000 Like hero movies.
02:16:30.000 The tweets are like deleted, so I could find the text of them.
02:16:34.000 Nevertheless, her social media post denigrating people based on their...
02:16:37.000 No, no, no, no, no.
02:16:38.000 We need to find out that...
02:16:39.000 I'm sure someone's...
02:16:41.000 Oh, here it is.
02:16:41.000 The actor continues to say, scroll down low, it goes, okay, so Carano fell under heavy criticism after she posted that Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors, even by children.
02:16:52.000 The actor continues to say, because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.
02:17:05.000 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
02:17:09.000 I see what she's trying to say.
02:17:11.000 I see what she's trying to say because there are people that absolutely do hate conservatives and they're of the opinion that some conservatives and Trump supporters...
02:17:20.000 They should be.
02:17:20.000 You can use violence against it.
02:17:22.000 Yeah, I completely understand that.
02:17:24.000 So she got fired for that. 0.99
02:17:25.000 First of all, things in print, it's an inherently shitty way to express something controversial when you're talking about something that's contemporary.
02:17:36.000 When you're talking about something that's going on right now.
02:17:38.000 Because...
02:17:40.000 It's so open to interpretation.
02:17:42.000 So many people can form, like, I don't like how you said this, because I think she meant this, or I think she meant that.
02:17:48.000 The best way to express something like that, ironically, is like this, in a conversation.
02:17:53.000 So if she was talking to someone, and she was saying...
02:17:56.000 There was context.
02:17:57.000 Like, if she was having this conversation with us, and she was saying, you know, in Nazi Germany, they got their neighbors to hate them first.
02:18:04.000 And think about how they're getting neighbors to hate people now for being conservative. 0.98
02:18:09.000 But again, when it comes to something like the Disney Channel or this or, you know, when it comes to her getting fired, they're probably looking for a way to get rid of her anyway because she was already saying some controversial shit. 1.00
02:18:21.000 And I think she fits right in with, like, whatever Ben Shapiro's trying to do.
02:18:25.000 Well, I don't think he was trying to do anything before this.
02:18:28.000 I don't think he was considering me.
02:18:29.000 They're like a movie studio.
02:18:30.000 They were?
02:18:31.000 They are.
02:18:32.000 Now.
02:18:33.000 Now.
02:18:33.000 But was this happening before Gina, or did they just decide to go for it after she got fired?
02:18:37.000 Who were they?
02:18:37.000 Are they the Daily Caller or the Daily Wire?
02:18:39.000 Daily Wire.
02:18:40.000 Yeah.
02:18:40.000 What's the difference?
02:18:42.000 Tucker Carlson's is the Daily Caller.
02:18:44.000 Oh, okay.
02:18:46.000 Did they decide to get into the movie business?
02:18:48.000 Find out if they decided to get into the movie business after the Gina Carano thing.
02:18:51.000 I think they were also like, they just need a place to make conservative movies.
02:18:57.000 I think that's part of what they were trying to do.
02:18:59.000 There's so few openly conservative actors.
02:19:03.000 Chris Pratt might be the only guy that I can think of who does really well.
02:19:07.000 You could just make films with Jon Voight.
02:19:10.000 Every movie could be just John Voight.
02:19:12.000 He's over the deep end.
02:19:13.000 And Gina Carano.
02:19:15.000 And James Woods.
02:19:16.000 James Woods.
02:19:17.000 James Woods, John Voight, Gina Carano.
02:19:19.000 James Woods is a great example.
02:19:21.000 That's a guy who is, in my opinion, great actor.
02:19:25.000 He's an all-time great.
02:19:26.000 He's a phenomenal actor. 0.99
02:19:27.000 He's been in so many fucking great movies. 0.98
02:19:29.000 But now, he's known more as a conservative social media commentator than anything. 0.99
02:19:35.000 Well, he's online.
02:19:37.000 He loves it.
02:19:38.000 Oh my god, he's on there all day long.
02:19:39.000 He likes getting involved.
02:19:41.000 Yeah.
02:19:42.000 Apparently he's already made a movie.
02:19:43.000 They already made a movie?
02:19:44.000 It came out in January.
02:19:45.000 Yeah, this is the one I'm telling you about.
02:19:47.000 Run, hide, fight.
02:19:48.000 She was trained by her dad to be a...
02:19:50.000 And then she stops the school shooting by...
02:19:54.000 Yeah.
02:19:55.000 It's completely insane.
02:19:57.000 But this is not a Gina Carano movie.
02:20:00.000 No, it's a Daily Wire movie.
02:20:01.000 Is this supposed to be any good?
02:20:04.000 Man, if you're going to do a movie like this...
02:20:05.000 I'm going to say no.
02:20:07.000 No.
02:20:08.000 But if you're gonna do a movie like this, it would be fucking amazing if you did a movie like this and really nailed it.
02:20:15.000 Like, really nailed it.
02:20:16.000 Yeah, this is not...
02:20:17.000 I'm already saying that this was not nailed.
02:20:20.000 What does it have there?
02:20:21.000 Rotten Tomatoes, 42%.
02:20:22.000 Listen, go check out Adam Sandler's movie.
02:20:25.000 Yeah, but 6.5 on IMDB. 17-year-old Zoe Hall uses her wit, survival skills, and compassion to fight for her life and those of her fellow classmates against a group of live streaming school shooters. 0.91
02:20:37.000 I mean, can we stop?
02:20:42.000 Do we have to lather it on?
02:20:44.000 It's thick.
02:20:45.000 I get what you're trying to do.
02:20:47.000 Just take it back a little.
02:20:50.000 Disguise it a bit.
02:20:51.000 Bury the narrative.
02:20:53.000 We'll get it.
02:20:54.000 It's just a little...
02:20:55.000 We're laying it on thick now.
02:20:57.000 You know, it's a little too much, you know?
02:20:59.000 But I think they're trying to counter the liberal narrative.
02:21:02.000 Yes, but they're doing it in a weird way.
02:21:04.000 First of all, so there's a woman who is a sharpshooter who then kills all these school shooters. 0.99
02:21:11.000 It's like, we're jumping through a lot of hoops.
02:21:15.000 Maybe.
02:21:16.000 Yeah.
02:21:16.000 But if it was really good?
02:21:18.000 If it was a Robert Rodriguez movie?
02:21:20.000 This is the problem. 1.00
02:21:21.000 The left-wing shit sucks, so does the right-wing shit. 1.00
02:21:23.000 Because as soon as you start going, here's the point I want to make, then it's all going to be garbage. 1.00
02:21:27.000 Right.
02:21:27.000 Instead of just making an awesome movie.
02:21:29.000 Just make a great movie.
02:21:30.000 They're like, we want to show people that kids should be trained in weapons so they can go to school and fight the school shooter.
02:21:36.000 And the left, when they're making certain God only knows things that they're doing, are going, we just want to show people that this is the right thing to do.
02:21:44.000 So I think it's just, it's got to actually be.
02:21:46.000 Now, the reason the left is better at it is they've been doing it for a lot longer.
02:21:49.000 I think the Daily Wire only distributed this.
02:21:51.000 I don't think they made it.
02:21:52.000 Oh, okay.
02:21:53.000 Just for like, that kind of matters a little bit.
02:21:55.000 Yeah.
02:21:56.000 Well, Clint Eastwood is the best example.
02:21:57.000 I was just thinking.
02:21:58.000 He's the best example of a conservative filmmaker that's respected.
02:22:01.000 I mean, that guy made The Unforgiven, which is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen.
02:22:04.000 Clint Eastwood is a massive talent.
02:22:06.000 Yeah.
02:22:07.000 Massive.
02:22:07.000 Massive town.
02:22:08.000 And very, very conservative.
02:22:10.000 Deeply.
02:22:11.000 Yeah.
02:22:11.000 So he's probably the best example of a conservative filmmaker.
02:22:15.000 He's excelled in Hollywood.
02:22:17.000 What's the last thing he made?
02:22:18.000 I know he made Gran Torino, but has he done anything since?
02:22:21.000 Yeah, he did something real recently.
02:22:23.000 Like, last two years.
02:22:25.000 Gran Torino, I want to say was like five or six years ago, right?
02:22:30.000 Didn't he do something?
02:22:31.000 Yeah, no, he did.
02:22:31.000 I can't remember, so I'm looking.
02:22:34.000 Mm.
02:22:36.000 But I mean, that guy, I mean, he was a massive...
02:22:39.000 Yeah, he did the 1517 of Paris, The Mule, and that Richard Jewell movie, I think, was the most...
02:22:43.000 That's right, the Richard Jewell movie.
02:22:45.000 But he was a massive star before politics mattered.
02:22:49.000 Oh, yeah.
02:22:50.000 Like, we didn't know...
02:22:51.000 I mean, Sean Connery's arguably very conservative.
02:22:53.000 He was a giant movie star.
02:22:55.000 Oh, yeah.
02:22:55.000 There was a lot of...
02:22:56.000 I mean, there's that famous Barbara Walters in it who was talking about smacking women. 1.00
02:23:00.000 Right. 0.92
02:23:00.000 Sometimes you need a smack. 0.92
02:23:01.000 Yeah.
02:23:02.000 Sometimes we give them their points and it's not enough.
02:23:05.000 Yeah.
02:23:06.000 And they just want to keep growing and growing.
02:23:08.000 Yeah.
02:23:09.000 I would not go over today.
02:23:11.000 No.
02:23:11.000 No, I mean, I think it's just gotta, people gotta just make good stuff.
02:23:16.000 But now it's all, all these studios are funded by Chinese dark money.
02:23:20.000 All of these things are just, they're just making these Marvel things.
02:23:24.000 There's never, nothing good's coming.
02:23:25.000 I mean, truly nothing good is coming.
02:23:26.000 That John Cena apology was one of the darkest moments in movie making.
02:23:32.000 Yeah.
02:23:33.000 Because you realize that this guy's not apologizing for something that was really horrible that he did.
02:23:37.000 No.
02:23:37.000 He didn't get drunk and run into a family with his car.
02:23:40.000 No, because China's the biggest market for these pictures.
02:23:41.000 He apologized for recognizing Taiwan as a nation.
02:23:45.000 Right.
02:23:46.000 It's crazy.
02:23:47.000 And he was saying, I'm so sorry.
02:23:48.000 I'm so sorry.
02:23:49.000 I was really tired.
02:23:50.000 Yeah.
02:23:50.000 And he's doing it in Mandarin.
02:23:52.000 It's wild.
02:23:53.000 I mean, if you're going to work, you better learn Mandarin.
02:23:56.000 You know, in certain arenas.
02:23:59.000 Vince McMahon was brilliant. 0.77
02:24:01.000 He talked John Cena into learning Mandarin and like, what did we say, like 2014 or some shit like that?
02:24:07.000 It's really pretty genius stuff. 0.58
02:24:08.000 It's amazing.
02:24:10.000 But that's just one of many indications that the deep interest that China has in movie making...
02:24:18.000 It's very difficult for them to avoid that grasp because financially it was so big.
02:24:25.000 Opening weekend, that movie, Fast and the Furious 9, I want to say it's in the neighborhood of $160 million opening weekend, 134 of which came from China.
02:24:36.000 It's crazy.
02:24:38.000 Well, if you get Megan McKinnon, I'll apologize to her in Mandarin for what I've done. 1.00
02:24:43.000 Give me a taste of that.
02:24:44.000 I don't even know.
02:24:45.000 I can't speak any Chinese.
02:24:48.000 I'm so bad at it.
02:24:48.000 Is that racist to do that?
02:24:49.000 To imitate a sound?
02:24:52.000 Yeah, but I don't have a deal with Disney.
02:24:56.000 What if they came along?
02:24:57.000 What if they tried to co-opt you?
02:24:58.000 I would tell them it's a mistake.
02:25:00.000 I would say as someone who has a rudimentary understanding of business, this is a very large mistake you're about to make.
02:25:06.000 This is not going to pay off.
02:25:06.000 It's not going to pay off.
02:25:07.000 There's not enough wiggle room.
02:25:08.000 I just like the freedom.
02:25:09.000 I like the freedom.
02:25:10.000 I like the live shows.
02:25:12.000 I like the podcasts.
02:25:13.000 I'd like to do other things.
02:25:15.000 If the world was different, I would love to make a movie or something because there's no funny movies being made right now.
02:25:21.000 There's not a ton of them.
02:25:22.000 Not a ton of them.
02:25:22.000 But that's a thing where that's a brutal process.
02:25:28.000 I watched Superbad the other day and I was like, good luck making that movie today.
02:25:32.000 Good luck.
02:25:32.000 Good luck.
02:25:33.000 It'd be so fucking hard to make. 0.86
02:25:35.000 It'd be tough. 0.96
02:25:36.000 You would have to deal with your own money and you'd have to take a big risk and people would get angry at you.
02:25:39.000 Well that's the whole thing.
02:25:40.000 I think ultimately if you have enough money you create things and you distribute them.
02:25:44.000 The thing is distribution.
02:25:46.000 So if you can make something and then distribute it and make your money back and then profit enough to pay people, then you could do it.
02:25:55.000 But no one's figured it out yet, really.
02:25:57.000 Ultimately, all of this censorship, either self-censorship or actual corporate censorship, is in some ways, it's really good for what we do.
02:26:06.000 Right. 0.99
02:26:06.000 Because there's a hunger for people that say wild shit. 0.99
02:26:08.000 Yes. 0.99
02:26:09.000 And I have to say, before we end this because I really have to pee really bad. 0.99
02:26:12.000 You were on fucking fire the other night at the Vulcan. 0.99
02:26:15.000 It was beautiful. 0.99
02:26:16.000 Thank you very much.
02:26:16.000 You were on a whole other level.
02:26:17.000 It was really cool to see you.
02:26:18.000 I did a lot of stand-up during the pandemic, which I know people will call me a murderer for.
02:26:24.000 We did it safely, but I'm excited about going out on the road and seeing people, and I appreciate you having me.
02:26:34.000 When the club happens, I have...
02:26:37.000 I have a love-hate here with Austin, Texas.
02:26:40.000 It's a little bit of an adjustment, but I know you believe in it strongly.
02:26:45.000 I love it here.
02:26:46.000 I know you do.
02:26:47.000 I'm going to make you love it here.
02:26:48.000 Well, yeah.
02:26:50.000 We'll see.
02:26:50.000 We'll bring you in whenever you want.
02:26:52.000 You don't have to stay here.
02:26:52.000 I just got to get that apartment in Beverly Hills.
02:26:54.000 Okay.
02:26:55.000 Let's do it.
02:26:55.000 And I'll have the house here.
02:26:56.000 Okay.
02:26:57.000 And then we're going to get you to love LA again.
02:26:59.000 I'm thinking about actually buying a place in Beverly Hills.
02:27:02.000 I was thinking about doing something where I could just jet over the store occasionally.
02:27:05.000 But here's the best way that this works out.
02:27:06.000 I might buy Ron White's house.
02:27:07.000 Here's the best way that this works out.
02:27:09.000 Okay.
02:27:09.000 You buy me a home in Beverly Hills, and then you come and stay whenever.
02:27:15.000 Let's talk about this.
02:27:15.000 That makes a lot of sense.
02:27:16.000 I'm going to pee my pants, so we have to wrap this up.
02:27:19.000 Tim Dillon, you're the best. 0.98
02:27:20.000 I fucking love you. 0.98
02:27:21.000 Tim Dillon Comedy, if you care. 0.99
02:27:22.000 Tim Dillon Show.
02:27:22.000 Goodbye.
02:27:23.000 Yes.
02:27:23.000 Bye, everybody.
