00:00:22.000Last night with those smelling salts, people doing the smelling salts, I was like, if I even inhale that, I feel like I'm going to start crowning.
00:01:58.000And he said, well, if you take a small amount of it, it actually acts as like a stimulant, but if you take a larger amount of it, it's a different effect.
00:04:26.000There's I've met more I didn't even know drugs I didn't really understand drug culture when I started hanging around in pool halls Because I had gone from being a fighter to being a comedian So in fighting there's no drinking no partying no nothing all throughout high school.
00:04:43.000I was like very rarely did I imbibe in anything I was all just about competition and then I started hanging out with comedians and And the ones that were doing drugs, God, their life was falling apart.
00:04:56.000And then I started hanging out in this pool hall, and they were all doing drugs.
00:05:35.000And the scary thing is, even though we know that, it's one of the most racist laws that's ever been enacted, where the difference between the sentencing for someone who gets caught with crack versus someone who gets caught with an equivalent amount of cocaine,
00:06:16.000And I would have to go get it back at the hood from the drug dealers.
00:06:20.000He was probably the most athletic, my cousin June Bull.
00:06:22.000But next to that, I think it was both.
00:06:29.000Imagine there's some dude out there, Junebug the crackhead, that's more athletic than a guy who's widely regarded as being one of the most athletic humans that's ever lived.
00:08:59.000And apparently, this is in the 90s, I don't know if they'd still do this, but you could hit a button And when you hit a button, you would get more morphine.
00:11:49.000So the only people cleaning up homeless people now in LA are Scientology and the Chilean Mafia.
00:11:54.000And the Chilean Mafia basically takes homeless people, gives them a BMX bike, Gives them like an outfit some and yeah, I sent you the video of them casing my house because they were robbing people in Brentwood and Santa Monica.
00:12:33.000In Wild Wild Country, they were putting, like, squirrels in beavers in blenders and stuff to make everybody sick so that they wouldn't vote.
00:13:22.000I already have to deal with that shit.
00:13:24.000And she goes, well, a lot of the wild animals in California are acting really weird right now because people are testing their cocaine for fentanyl.
00:13:30.000And if it tests positive, they flush it down the toilet.
00:14:13.000There's a book called Dissolving Illusions, and it's about...
00:14:17.000The invention of vaccines and the conditions that people lived in.
00:14:22.000In the early 1900s in major cities, you don't think about it, but if people didn't have trucks, because trucks didn't exist, How did they shit?
00:15:52.000I mean, it's like, yeah, with all these, like, sort of issues now with depression and anxiety, back then you had such real things to worry about.
00:15:58.000Like, how do I get home without getting covered in shit, without getting dysentery?
00:20:07.000But yeah, it's not like people don't do that anymore.
00:20:09.000You would just fuck around and find out.
00:20:11.000You would just put your finger in a light socket all day.
00:20:15.000Well, we just, I don't think parents knew as much and I don't think there was as much of a fear of predators.
00:20:21.000You know, like I have a friend who his kid almost got kidnapped.
00:20:26.000He's at a park and he had looked down or wasn't paying attention for I don't know how long looking at his phone and then he looks up and there's a guy who's like reaching for his son's hand and taking him towards a van.
00:21:12.000I had that stupid nude leak thing happen, so I have this IT guy who's explaining to me, I'm like, what's the hygiene for kids on Instagram?
00:21:22.000I probably just won't put him on Instagram, I don't know.
00:21:26.000But he was like, the way that predators pick up kids now is they basically just collect information from the parents' Instagram, right?
00:21:32.000Like, you're at Disneyland with your kid, and then you got strawberry ice cream with your kid, and then you went to Universal Studios with your kid.
00:21:38.000Some creep pedophile goes up to the kid and goes, Oh, hey, Johnny, right?
00:24:05.000Because if he's running from the cops, something was going on.
00:24:07.000When you see that shit real up close, it always blows my mind.
00:24:11.000Like, when I first moved to LA, I lived right above Ari on Miller Drive, above Pink Dot, so that I could be close to the Comedy Store.
00:24:19.000And there's that intersection there, Sunset and La Cienega, and there's all these, you know...
00:24:23.000And both people trying to take lefts are always trying to, you know, cheat the yellow light.
00:24:29.000And I'm at the northern part of the intersection, and a motorcycle is coming down Sunset, fast as shit, and then someone's trying to take the left...
00:24:37.000When I tell you, I've been in LA five days.
00:25:12.000Like when you see that, you're like, I feel like that's how it would have gone in a Michael Bay movie or I don't know, that just feels a little wild when you actually see it up close.
00:25:31.000When you think about how many people are just so distracted and how crazy the act of getting onto this concrete surface with this thing that's rolling around with a combustion engine and you're just letting normal people drive them around.
00:25:47.000It's kind of a miracle how cooperative we all are.
00:26:44.000And so, yeah, so Tripoli sends me all this stuff.
00:26:46.000But yeah, I mean, the Disney Castle's being made of dicks.
00:26:48.000It is a compelling case, but I think it was probably more that they didn't pay their animators, and the animators were like, fuck you guys, we're just going to make the, you know.
00:33:08.000And for actors and people in show business, it's almost like you're testing yourself out, like writing scripts for yourself to be like a hero in this scene.
00:33:19.000And I think a lot of people need to be heard.
00:33:25.000I mean, there's a real application for it in terms of your ability to communicate about things and learn more about other people's perspectives if you can cultivate a good group of humans.
00:33:35.000But if you're famous, that's not tenable.
00:34:32.000We're really bad at just continuing to do certain things like a Twitter type deal or just any kind of online social interaction is so different than regular human interaction that if you get used to doing it all the time,
00:34:47.000it kind of like reprograms the way you communicate with people, period.
00:35:09.000I mean, you're supposed to have consequences for your behavior.
00:35:12.000Like a bunch of my friends that are parents say that like bullies will come in and they'll say the craziest shit just because they've been on Twitter or online or on those video games where you're allowed to like talk shit and then you go into the real world and it's a little different.
00:35:23.000Yeah, there's plenty of those videos on my Instagram too.
00:36:09.000Like why is there like so many different like there was like one going this way and one going that way and Then they started talking about oh, no.
00:36:17.000Oh, no, and then you realize like oh shit that thing blow up Because do you remember watching it at first like it didn't I didn't know exactly what was happening I watched it recently and kind of I remember watching it look on the news when I was really young and not understanding what was going on Can you pull up the Challenger explosion?
00:36:34.000By the way, that all apparently could have been mitigated.
00:36:37.000People knew that there was problems with the O-rings.
00:37:32.000Fill giant tubes up with combustible liquid and then light an explosion and shoot them up into the fucking sky to get out of Earth's gravity.
00:37:44.000Well, it's definitely worked a gang of times.
00:40:17.000Yeah, this article on NPR says there's billionaires that are leading battalions, but they might also have some sort of training or something like that.
00:40:24.000Oh, but isn't that just like the guy that they blew up?
00:41:15.000Eating Tide Pods going over there, like...
00:41:17.000Yeah, draft is a real, it would be a real issue with the morale of this country and the suspicion of, like, the government doing unethical things and the trust and whether or not these kids could even survive.
00:43:04.000Also, there's this guy, I don't want to plagiarize his work, Kashif Khan, he wrote that DNA Way book about how their micro, the forever chemicals in women's yoga pants.
00:43:28.000They've paid, I think, over $8 or $9 billion, which is probably nothing to them, but women getting ovarian cancer from the asbestos in it, and then also the minors of the talc.
00:46:34.000Just like the videos that you could watch of them saying it's 100% effective, it's 80% effective, it's effective against preventing severe hospitalization or death.
00:46:45.000I think that, I mean, at least the people that I know are very suspicious of stuff like that, but the thing that really freaks me out is even natural remedies are starting to be bought up by these corporations.
00:46:55.000So, you know, Bragg's apple cider vinegar, Bill Gates bought it.
00:49:02.000Well, I think he kind of wants to regulate the weather, right?
00:49:04.000A startup company has a unique concept for the removal of trees to protect California forests.
00:49:10.000Well, there's something to the removal of dead trees, and that's something that actually Trump talked about when the wildfires were hitting California.
00:49:16.000He said he was going to cut off their funding if they didn't take care of their forests.
00:50:27.000I mean, I live in wildfire land, as you know, in Topanga in California.
00:50:31.000And I do like voluntary equine evacuation with LAFD. And they would fight for my house because I'm kind of right at sort of the end of like 170 acres, like in a hollow kind of thing.
00:51:09.000Well, if your life is so fucked up that you're, you know, in a fucking tent on the middle of a grassy hillside and you're doing fentanyl, you're probably not so responsible with fire.
00:51:21.000You saw, like, the homeless camp wars in Venice where they were just throwing, like, Molotov cocktails at each other to set each other on fire.
00:51:27.000I mean, it was the Gaza Strip there for a minute.
00:51:31.000It's just so nuts that it happened so quick.
00:53:28.000This is a complete collapse of society that's happening while we're here.
00:53:34.000So it's hard to really understand the scope of it unless you could have a go-back-in-time machine and see what those same streets looked like 20 years ago, see what these same stores were like 20 years ago.
00:54:14.000One time Janine Garofalo was on stage and she goes, yeah, I lost my joke notebook in St. Louis.
00:54:23.000So if you see anyone bombing around town, let me know.
00:54:27.000There is something when you lose something that has jokes in it, where you're like, I just want that back because I don't want people to see my jokes in progress.
00:54:50.000Those fucking arrows pointing to dicks, and that's arrow pointing to clouds.
00:54:55.000I have been kind of writing in a notebook recently jokes, because you get on your computer, and then you get a pop-up bat, and you're like, I'll just research this.
00:55:04.000And then you're in a wormhole of Disney dicks for two hours.
00:55:06.000So I've started writing more, and I've got this joke notebook, and I'm like, God...
00:55:11.000But I don't have my name on it or anything anymore.
00:56:13.000You could have little folders and all sorts of different things with it.
00:56:17.000I'm kind of like, I don't know, I'm a little old school.
00:56:19.000I like having a piece of paper and tearing it out before I go on stage and put it in my pocket.
00:56:23.000I don't know, there's just still a little attachment.
00:56:25.000Well, they do say that there's something, and I wonder if it would be the same on a tablet, but they do say there's something, when you physically write something down, it's better for your memory.
00:57:18.000Like, I'll sometimes, like, it drives me nuts when I'll come—I'll try to come up with stuff on stage or allow myself, but if I don't record it, I'm like, ah, shit.
00:57:34.000And it was like, I kind of feel like you'll have a better metaphor for this, but it's almost like, you know, doing fat man is like, you know, doing your cardio writing jokes is like, you know, you're, you know, lifting and then bottom of the barrel is like stretching or something like it should should be a part of what you do as a comic.
00:59:00.000And also I think sometimes you get into this, whether it's feedback from the internet or from other people, when people kind of tell you what kind of comic you are, you're kind of like, oh, that's not a topic I would do.
00:59:34.000You're a little too buttoned down with this thing.
00:59:38.000Yeah, and it also was like, you know, the topics were so incendiary and wild, you know, to just the permission from the audience, like, go there!
01:00:31.000I think this idea that things don't have something that's akin to consciousness, I think it's arrogant.
01:00:38.000That building, I know it's like wishful thinking because it's my place and all that jazz, but when we opened it, I felt like it was happy we were there.
01:00:48.000I felt like even when I looked at it, even when I looked at it, I felt like it was talking to me.
01:00:53.000Like when I was going through it and like trying to figure out how I could do this and do that, I'm looking around at it.
01:02:23.000I've seen Miles destroying in the little boy and then the next day I walked in and he was the door guy and I was like, you were the guy I could hardly follow last night?
01:03:14.000This center, this one hub where the comedians can just be free, have fun, and feed off of each other and bang joke ideas around with each other in the green room and watch each other do sets from the balcony.
01:03:30.000Watching you and, I mean, being in the green room and, like, because, I mean, look, sometimes you're kind of in a lot of clubs.
01:03:36.000You're in a hallway and there's, like, people coming by.
01:03:38.000And the way that you've, like, really incubated comedians so that they, like, feel safe and feel like, you know, they can be themselves, especially before they go on stage.
01:03:45.000Like, you know, Ron White came off stage and he had just done this bit.
01:03:49.000He was trying to explain why it didn't go how he wanted it to go.
01:04:22.000He told the joke and Joe goes, yeah, I would have advised you against doing that joke.
01:04:30.000But then we came up with alternative ways to do that joke where we're ridiculous.
01:04:33.000And then you, like, went into this whole other thing and, like, basically I just watched you put a whole chunk together, you know?
01:04:39.000And, like, we were all just there, like, just supporting each other and kind of, like, writing and everything's, like, you know, that's the best feeling in the world when you're sitting around a bunch of people.
01:04:48.000You know you can't hurt their feelings.
01:04:49.000You know you're not walking on eggshells.
01:05:11.000When I'm not there for a few weeks and then I come back to town and I'm hanging out in the green room again, everybody's like, hey!
01:05:17.000You built this thing though and there's also it made me realize like you have to be around the absence of something to realize there was a presence of something else that became so normal is there's an absence of predatory energy.
01:05:29.000I know that might sound weird but like the comics the For whatever reason.
01:05:34.000Nobody's trying to get something from you.
01:05:35.000No one's trying to get you on their podcast.
01:07:58.000And then the business that was somewhat functioning, you know, Hollywood, didn't work for two.
01:08:03.000And then, I mean, because people think about Hollywood and they think about the annoying actors and the, you know, writers and the producers and the directors.
01:10:50.000But also, if you want to be more successful and get more clients, that is the way to do it.
01:10:55.000I mean, if you're utilizing social media...
01:10:58.000If you're a trainer and you look awesome, you're going to get a lot of clients on social media just from that.
01:11:03.000It's actually a good marketing move, but it also has that gravity of possible YouTube slash TikTok slash whatever fame, and then you say, okay, I can make a living off of this.
01:11:15.000There's just a, you know, I don't know.
01:11:17.000I think for me, it's like, what we do is like, you know, I was talking to one of your guys up front, and, you know, being a comedian, it's weird, because it's like, there's a point where you go, like, now that I'm having a kid, and I'm kind of like, oh, you can't undo fame.
01:11:38.000But especially at this day and age, you have to fight so hard to probably stay famous.
01:11:41.000But it's kind of like it's one of those things I remember Bill Murray said one time, someone asked him, like, do you hate being famous or something?
01:11:50.000And he goes, what I would say to people that want to be famous is try getting rich and see if you still need to get famous.
01:12:23.000There's some people that, for whatever reason, they never marketed themselves very well, they never got the attention they felt like they should have deserved, and now they're in their 50s, and they can't sell out a club, and they're fucked.
01:12:36.000And they can't make a living, so they're not paying their rent.
01:13:14.000So it's cool that they're actually doing that so that comics that can't necessarily get the hour special or sell out clubs can at least get some kind of TV exposure.
01:13:22.000Because Comedy Central is just like a square space at this point.
01:15:00.000And he was the only one like that, that was just this wild boy on the radio in the morning, and everybody tuned in to see what the fuck is he gonna say.
01:15:09.000And during the Bush administration, because he was pretty critical of the Bush administration, they went after him.
01:15:18.000I think they fined the company somewhere in the millions.
01:15:23.000But don't you think that the more they fined him, it's kind of like the more when they try to cancel comedians, the more successful they get.
01:15:29.000It's like he just got more and more impressed.
01:16:57.000When we left YouTube, when we announced that we were going over to Spotify, one of the first things that happened is YouTube stopped demonetizing us.
01:17:24.000And they're trying to say it's to protect kids, which I'm all about protecting kids, but doesn't YouTube have their own kids channel, KidsTube or something?
01:17:31.000Yeah, the thing is, like, people don't pay attention to what the fucking kids are watching.
01:17:38.000Do you remember when the YouTube had that problem because there was cartoons that seemed like regular kid cartoons but then they would get like really violent and like Mickey Mouse would get super drunk and hit people over the head with bottles?
01:17:50.000Do you know that, I mean, half of porn now is like Shrek getting blown by Elsa from Frozen.
01:18:06.000But did you, were you aware of that whole trend where there was this like, so like say if a kid was watching YouTube and you're watching some cartoons, these people who made these cartoons, and I think they've rooted out a lot of them and got rid of them.
01:18:20.000But these people that made these cartoons, they would figure out a way to get into that algorithm so that the kids, it would just play the next video, and then play the next video, and then they would play one of these.
01:18:31.000And one of these videos, it was always weird.
01:18:33.000It's like someone would always get drunk, someone would fall down, break their head open, there would be blood everywhere.
01:18:39.000Is it people trying to psychologically harm kids, or is it just an accident?
01:18:45.000I don't know what they were doing, but they were cartoons that seemed to be regular kids' cartoons, but they would follow a very specific pattern.
01:18:53.000There was always a broken bottle, there was always a lot of blood, but it was like Mickey Mouse and fucking Goofy and shit.
01:18:59.000For instance, this is not a well-known one, I just picked one, but this is a bunch of known characters doing a bunch of weird shit.
01:19:26.000They're just trying to benefit off the algorithm.
01:19:27.000Anything that would click off of a kid watching Frozen or Elsa or Spider-Man or the Joker or anything, and it would just hope that one of these would eventually fall in there.
01:19:34.000So they're baiting kids with the iconic characters.
01:19:36.000Because kids are just watching it all day long.
01:19:38.000The amount of times the kids would watch Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, it's kind of all gone away.
01:19:41.000And if you're 8, you want to watch Elsa from Frozen.
01:21:03.000Uh-oh, Batman in blackface, offensive.
01:21:06.000This is easier to make than the live-action one because one person can make this instead of you needing seven actors to get together for a day.
01:21:11.000But like some kid in Pensacola made this.
01:23:14.000I was going to say, mall seems like the most dangerous place to be at this point.
01:23:17.000Remember when we just walk around malls for five hours as teenagers with no money?
01:23:22.000Yeah, malls were like the playground for teenagers.
01:23:24.000Now it's just smashing crabs, people getting shot.
01:23:27.000I've showed you this before, but it's gotten way worse on Twitch, which is supposed to be for video games, you know, like watch people play video games, maybe talk and do some interviews or podcasts.
01:23:37.000They expanded it into this area now called Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches.
01:23:41.000And as you can see, it's just mostly 100% girls just sitting at a pool, hot tub, or beach, mostly naked.
01:24:06.000There's body painting that goes on where they're literally just all about butt naked with a little bit of paint covering the proper nipple areola area.
01:24:14.000There's a lot of gals that are making a living doing this stuff these days.
01:28:08.000I think there's some of these guys that are the head of these giant corporations and they're under so much crazy stress and they take some sort of jolly and getting kicked in the nuts and told what to do.
01:28:19.000Like dominatrixes, they'll tell you they deal with these high-stress guys that run businesses.
01:28:25.000I have a friend that did that for a while.
01:28:27.000She would send this one guy photos of her feet, but she would demand money from him.
01:31:01.000I've been trying to write a bit about this for so long, and I think there's a lot of reasons I can't crack it, but it is really like when boys get molested, nobody cares.
01:31:28.000And then there's also that some women, particularly in Hollywood, they use seduction to ingratiate them with people.
01:31:38.000They will flirt with people to get closer to producers.
01:31:42.000And that's one of the reasons why, you know, who was the famous one that Tarantino told us about that had a bed in his office where he would bed starlets?
01:31:52.000And this was like, you know, back in the day in the early movie business.
01:35:28.000But I think it's also, it's like if you're trying to make up for lost time, it's like, okay, maybe you wanted to be a girl when you were like eight, so you're dressing the way you, you know, like in a princess costume.
01:38:25.000So they slice you open, shove these fucking things in there, and then all of a sudden it looks like you've got massive abs.
01:38:31.000I have a friend who used to work with David Copperfield and said after they worked together one night, they were in some hotel, and he went out on his balcony and saw David Copperfield's full-body muscle suit hanging over the railing to dry out.
01:44:27.000We shouldn't play it because we've played it on this podcast too many times, but I'll show it to you afterwards.
01:44:31.000It's a former guy from the KGB who's explaining what they've done to America and how they've infiltrated their education systems and the demoralization of America and that this is a plan and it takes two generations.
01:44:46.000And he's talking about it's a 20-year plan.
01:44:48.000And he's talking about this in the 1980s.
01:45:09.000It's wild because if this guy was just guessing in 1984 and it's not really like a long-term Soviet strategy to destroy America, that has been like super-duper successful.
01:45:22.000I mean, it feels like there's, I don't know, RFK Jr., but I'm not weighing in on the science part of it.
01:45:30.000I just feel like if we had someone being like, we're coming for you.
01:45:33.000I mean, his voice alone, I think everyone would be like, damn, they're not fucking around in America.
01:45:38.000Well, I think other countries' biggest fear would be Trump getting back in power.
01:45:43.000Because he's the one guy that is, even though He's a business insider.
01:45:50.000He's a billionaire and all that good stuff, but he's not a political insider, and he does not work well with those people, and he wants to do things his way.
01:45:58.000And I just think he's a much more formidable adversary for these countries.
01:46:04.000He doesn't fuck around with them, but he also will make deals with them, too.
01:47:26.000It's like when that woman, E. Jean Carroll, came forward against him for like sexual harassment and he was like, look at her, you think I'd harass her?
01:47:32.000I mean, just like, the guy's unstoppable.
01:48:01.000It's weird because it's just—it shows you the thing that you've already known but you didn't want to admit.
01:48:07.000That this system is not run logically and it's not run by someone who's, like, some evolved, experienced person who's— Got a real grip on how to run this system.
01:48:36.000So they can buy more weapons and shit.
01:48:39.000If you aren't going to give us money, give us credit and we'll pay you back.
01:48:42.000It just seems kind of wild that we're sending all this money all over the world, not that they don't need help, but it's like, what about people in America?
01:49:54.000Well, it could have just been negligence and, you know, lack of, I don't know what, I have no knowledge about the Flint thing other than when Obama pretended to drink water from there.
01:54:49.000And I mean, I guess I don't know enough about the topic, but, you know, there's this great documentary called Hillbilly about about the moment Hillary really put her foot in her mouth calling for clean energy.
01:54:59.000And she said it was not the deplorable speech, but it's she said, we're going to get rid of coal mining.
01:55:05.000You guys did the best you could to keep the lights on.
01:56:02.000But that's also centered the opioid crisis.
01:56:04.000So it's coal, it's Teflon, it's poisoning water, and then opioid crisis.
01:56:10.000Yeah, there's spots in this country where you could get a bad roll of the dice and be born in a fucking hillbilly commune in West Virginia and like, fuck.
01:56:39.000Came in being exploited, which is, you know, I mean, I don't know if this is exactly true or not, but people I know that are in the coal business there, it's like, you know, they've taken all of our natural resources.
01:56:47.000If they hadn't mined all of our coal, like by now we would have diamonds.
01:56:50.000You know, like they've taken all the wealth of the region.
01:56:54.000It's just, it's totally devastating what it's done to the topography.
01:56:57.000I mean, the trailers, the boulders crush kids all the time because of the way that they've messed with the topography and completely just depleted the soil.
01:57:06.000Oh, so they'll have collapses and shit?
01:57:28.000I mean, the fact that I think about this all the time because I don't know where you are on like ancestral trauma and epigenetic imprinting and stuff, but I've always had a little bit of a like, I don't like small spaces, you know, and my grandfather was in mines and sometimes that imprints on you.
01:58:57.000Yeah, without taking coal miners jobs because it's like it's this thing where they have this skill and then all of a sudden it's like we're going to get rid of your job.
02:00:28.000I think that's what the current belief is, that originally they carried fire from one place to another.
02:00:36.000You know, they would get the coals and they would figure out how to maintain it because it was so precious when it happened.
02:00:41.000And they figured out how to keep fires lit.
02:00:44.000But if you have a fire pit somewhere, like a water pit that you're used to going to get water from, and you just go walk and get more fire when you're out of fire, you don't need to worry about making it because they have it.
02:00:52.000Were there brush fires back then, the way there are now?
02:02:09.000Well, I don't know why and who, but I know that they have found magnifying glasses set up outside Where people have, like, decided that the sun's gonna hit here, it's gonna burn this, and they can just set it there at night and leave.
02:02:59.000We used to toilet paper people's homes.
02:03:01.000Like, we used to throw eggs at people's car.
02:03:03.000Like, we would destroy—like, now you get, like, destroyed emotionally for maybe a couple minutes because you feel left out or you got a negative—we used to destroy property.
02:03:11.000Kids used to take rocks and put them in the middle of snowballs and then throw them at cars.
02:04:52.000God, that fucked up my algorithm for a while.
02:04:54.000But wait, what is the one that the person died?
02:05:00.000Oh yeah, these two kids were driving in a car, and he was on a bike, and they fucking plow into him, and they're laughing about it.
02:05:08.000And they filmed it, and live-streamed it.
02:05:11.000They hit one car, hit and run, and they hit this guy and killed him.
02:05:14.000And it was initially reported, a lot of people were like, Tried to say that they're trying to downplay crime because it was initially reported that he just died from a hit and run.
02:05:23.000And they were like, they don't even want to say why he really died.
02:05:26.000No, they didn't know why he really died.
02:05:27.000It took like two weeks before they figured out these kids killed him.
02:05:45.000And then you go, has this always happened, we just didn't see videos of it?
02:05:48.000You know, like we've always done savage shit.
02:05:51.000Well, for sure there's always been gangbangers and gangbang initiations and people have always done fucked up things.
02:05:58.000It's just always been a part of human culture, but it's just seeing young kids run over an old guy on a bicycle is particularly fucking disturbing.
02:06:06.000I wonder though, do you think that having all these videos available desensitizes?
02:06:27.000You're so accustomed to seeing violence and wild, horrific violence.
02:06:33.000I really try to not watch, like, too much news or read too much news because it spooks me how I can just scroll past a school shooting with just like...
02:06:40.000I remember when Newtown happened, I was at a job where we sent everyone home.
02:06:46.000Like, we sent everyone home when that happened.
02:10:53.000They stop the traffic and he walks up to them and he pulls a gun out and fucking whacks them.
02:11:01.000I do enjoy seeing someone who's like holding up a convenience store or something and then a pedestrian just pulls their gun out and handles it.
02:11:10.000Yeah, okay, I just opened up my thing and another guy just stabs someone.
02:12:34.000But these fucking idiots that just block the road as if that's somehow or another going to fix everything or the ones that go to fucking art galleries and smash paintings.
02:12:42.000I do think that there's a little bit of an invincibility complex that comes in with knowing you're being filmed.
02:12:47.000Like, they probably think, oh, there's a camera here.
02:14:18.000But the fact that you're doing these priceless works of art from people who died centuries ago and your cause you think eclipses everything else.
02:14:28.000These people are there enjoying this art.
02:14:31.000They have nothing to do with the oil industry.
02:14:33.000They're just enjoying at a museum the ability to stand in front of something that Picasso made.
02:15:14.000Human beings, our carbon dioxide output, in particular our pollutants, 100% what we're doing to the ocean, we're affecting the world in a negative way.
02:15:24.000However, when it comes to the climate, when it comes to the temperature of the Earth, It has never been stable.
02:15:32.000When you look at the earth over a course of 10,000, 15,000, whatever years, it goes up and it goes down.
02:15:39.000I was reading this whole thing about how in Idaho, in, I think it was July or August of the 1930s, Had reached a temperature of 118 degrees.
02:15:53.000Like the highest ever recorded temperature they have.
02:17:26.000It seems like it's like, and I love what you, like your philosophy on hunting, because it's like factory farming, like what they do with the cows and stuff, they're saying is like such a problem.
02:17:34.000Yeah, most factory farming is horrific.
02:17:36.000People should start hunting their own food.
02:17:41.000They don't have the interest, which I get too.
02:17:43.000The real way to do it is regenerative farming.
02:17:46.000You can get regenerative, like whether it's from White Oaks Pastures or Polyface Farms, there's a bunch of regenerative farms right here in Texas that are Organic farms.
02:18:08.000But then again, if you're going to have a city of like 20 million people and there's no one growing anything other than weed, you're going to have to get food to all those people.
02:18:19.000How does Jack in the Box get their burgers?
02:18:21.000Well, they have to have factory farmers.
02:21:48.000You know, because I was like, oh, like, being hypervigilant, being a little paranoid, being kind of always a little bit tired, putting weight on.
02:21:55.000Like, that's not my experience now that I'm actually pregnant.
02:21:57.000And I feel like I lost a lot of time mentally to being on birth control.
02:22:14.000I went through, you know, kind of a little bit of a rough patch, lost my mom, was smoking too much weed, which I'm sure I could do again in the future.
02:22:53.000Women that are on birth control, there was a study where they're attracted to men with more feminized faces.
02:23:00.000They say that you should go off birth control for a year if you're engaged to a man before you actually get married just to make sure that you're still attracted.
02:23:48.000I mean, these studies are all public, but when they first tested it in the 70s, I think at least 13 women in Puerto Rico died from taking it.
02:23:56.000And then also, in addition to the hormones, there's all the...
02:24:00.000Endocrine disruptors and hormone shit that were, you know, there's a lot of other variables too that are probably exacerbating it.
02:24:05.000But I just felt like a zombie a lot of the time.
02:24:09.000And then they put me on Adderall because I was too...
02:24:12.000And then it just becomes this whack-a-mole thing where you're like, how about instead of adding all these other things, I just subtract this thing.
02:24:54.000You know, and it does put you in a state of hypervigilance, you know, being pregnant.
02:24:57.000Yeah, I'm nesting, I'm, you know, want to be organized, obviously.
02:25:00.000I'm thinking about, you know, the kid, obviously, and taking care of myself.
02:25:04.000But I look back at the time that I was on a lot of that birth control shit, and I, It's also people say, well, you know, birth control led to this sexual revolution where women had freedom.
02:25:16.000They could do whatever they didn't have to worry about being knocked up by a guy if they wanted to have recreational sex.
02:25:45.000And when you could just take a pill and not sweat it, then it's just like this change in your natural behavior.
02:25:52.000And yeah, I guess I feel like I stayed in a lot of...
02:25:54.000I mean, granted, look, not that I was ready to have a kid before now, not that I was ready to commit to anyone, like that I wasn't fully cooked as a person yet or whatever, but I found myself staying in a lot of relationships that I probably shouldn't have stayed in.
02:26:07.000That if I hadn't been on birth control, I'd be like, oh, this isn't the father of my kid.
02:26:11.000Or you end up getting chemically addicted to somebody through having good sex with someone or getting all the oxytocin or whatever, and then you end up staying in a lot of relationships you maybe shouldn't stay in instead of just working on yourself.
02:26:23.000You know, I initially went on it so crazy.
02:26:26.000I think about all like the weird, you know, because I used to do for money when I first moved to LA and I was broke.
02:26:31.000I would do focus groups and I would, you know, take these experimental pills and do these like clinical trials and stuff.
02:26:36.000But when I was, I want to say 15, I went on Accutane, which is that acne medication.
02:26:42.000And they make you take birth control simultaneously so that, you know, that's the first time I went on it, you know, at 15 years old.
02:27:35.000You take massive shits and your shit pipe is ripped open.
02:27:39.000You know, so I was put on it at that and I just think about like all the prescription drugs like I was put on at such a, you know, young age and, you know, God, what kind of impact that had.
02:27:49.000There's so many people that are on them and so many people that are young and they don't even get a chance to make that decision for themselves.
02:27:55.000They're certainly not making an informed decision and so many Parents are just listening to their doctors and the doctors are just pill pushers.
02:29:59.000Originally, there were drugs that I believe were developed for performance enhancing, like for cognitive performance, but then they realized that you can't prescribe it for that, so they started prescribing it for narcolepsy.
02:30:39.000I mean, I gotta say, when we were doing the roasts last year, a lot of the writers and comics, they were doing the chocolate, like mushrooms and chocolate, like three milligrams of mushrooms and chocolate, and I did that.
02:33:18.000LAPD closed Shelley Miscavige's missing person case after a woman claimed she was the Scientology leader's wife despite the fact they had mismatched fingerprints and footage of their rendezvous was mysteriously scrambled.
02:36:33.000Warren Jeffs in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
02:36:38.000Apparently Salt Lake City has the highest plastic surgery rate because it's women going in after having 12 kids getting their bodies shellacked back together.
02:36:51.000Imagine you have 12 kids by the time you're 30. What a bum deal.
02:44:42.000Yeah, I left it at one of my houses when I sold the house.
02:44:45.000Because I had to take out my grill in the house I live in in California because any kind of meat, the coyotes, I would wake up, coyotes would just be standing on the grill in the morning.
02:44:54.000So it's like I need something I can bring in the garage and then roll back out.
02:45:36.000There's a great book about coyotes called Coyote America that my friend Dan Flores wrote and it's fantastic and it just details how unusual they are and how they evolved to be that way because they were being killed by wolves in the West.
02:45:57.000Have you seen the video of the guy on a boat and there's a coyote swimming in the water and he reaches down and grabs it by the back of its neck?
02:48:35.000Because my dogs will fight them, but if it's one of my dogs, and six or seven surround them, and what they want to do is, I got this coyote guy comes over to say, you got to get the rollers to put in the fencing, because they can jump.
02:48:47.000They're vampires, so you got to put these rollers on the top, so they jump and roll.
02:48:51.000Jump and roll, and then you got to go, I think it's like three or four feet into the ground or something, because they'll come under, and he goes, because I'm like, oh, well, I'll hear it.
02:49:00.000Because the way the coyotes bait dogs is first they'll play with them.
02:49:03.000First they'll play with them, and then their friends will come down and surround them, or they'll make the dog chase them to wear them out.
02:49:11.000And then just take them back to the den.
02:49:13.000Yeah, I've told this story before, but there was a guy that I used to, he worked at a pet food store that I used to go to, and he also worked at a veterinarian's clinic, and they had a dog come in.
02:51:22.000People, they feel like it's something they're supposed to do.
02:51:25.000And whenever there's a cause, like free Palestine or free Ukraine, or whatever the fucking cause is, people feel justified in doing horrific things to other people because they're on the right side.
02:51:37.000And that is one of the things that, I mean, that is literally what Hamas did to the Israelis.
02:51:43.000That's what the Nazis did to the Jews.
02:51:45.000It's what people have done forever when they can other a different group.
02:51:49.000And it's also what the Israelis have done to some of the Palestinians, too.
02:52:04.000It seems to be a part of how human beings existed and thrived in tribes.
02:52:11.000You almost had to develop that sort of skill because if you didn't, you'd be attacked by other tribes and you wouldn't be able to handle the situation.
02:52:19.000You would make a mistake and treat them like another person and they would kill you and then you wouldn't live and then they would kill your family.
02:52:26.000People had to develop this ability to be horrific to the others.
02:52:30.000I go back to—my dad used to manage a hotel in West Virginia, Hilltop House, where sort of the Civil War kind of started.
02:52:37.000And I go to these Civil War—something happens when you turn 40 or maybe where you get obsessed with the Civil War and Hitler.
02:53:03.000And he's just an incredible guy, but he's talking about all the things that happened when people settled in America and made their way across the country and the expansion and what the horrific consequences were.
02:53:16.000Also, there's something, and I know I always bring this up with you, the Calcio-Historica thing.
02:53:21.000When that fight happens in Italy, violence goes basically down to zero.
02:54:12.000And the idea of the militia originally was to fight off a tyrannical government.
02:54:17.000I mean, it was literally what got us here to this point.
02:54:20.000They moved to America to escape the tyranny of Europe, of England.
02:54:25.000They got here and they said, we must have the right to keep and bear arms because the first thing a tyrant is going to do is disarm the population.
02:54:34.000Because then they can't rise up and then they can't have a well-armed militia.
02:54:38.000That's so interesting because I was talking to someone recently about the history of stand-up in America and it being different than what the court jester's job was.
02:54:47.000Because stand-up is uniquely American, like hip-hop, right?
02:54:50.000Uniquely American invention, not that old.
02:54:53.000Whereas the court jester, people are like, no, there's been the court jester.
02:55:58.000And they realized that that was a weakness in their society if they had a thing that had that kind of power where it couldn't be made fun of.
02:56:34.000It changes everything, and it makes it just like what it used to be, which is this free speech sort of art form, Where you can fuck around and say a bunch of outrageous shit in anywhere else that gets you in trouble in our culture, more than ever before.
02:56:49.000People are getting fired for not even that controversial opinions.
02:56:55.000I mean, after the Will Smith, Chris Rock thing, Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl, There was, and again, maybe this is just cameras are catching it and this has always kind of happened, but I think we would have heard about it.
02:57:06.000We knew when Jim Jeffries got, you know, a guy ran up on stage and punched him.
02:57:10.000That was a while ago, you know, but after the Chappelle Hollywood Bowl thing, it was like Kim Congdon got physically assaulted after she opened for Joey Diaz somewhere.
02:57:18.000That was that girl, Arielle, I can't, sorry, I don't know her last name, but someone threw a beer can right at her head when she was on stage.
02:57:53.000Psychologically, people didn't recover from it that well.
02:57:55.000And some people financially are ruined forever.
02:57:57.000Imagine how bitter you'd be if you had a job that your family worked for 30 years, and then these shithead politicians just decided you weren't an essential business, and you guys lost everything, and you can't rebound.
02:58:25.000And that's one of the reasons why I came here.
02:58:27.000The fact that Gavin Newsom, this American psycho-ass, Botoxed Smithers, like, the fact that he was just able to get away with this is wild.
02:58:38.000And I don't know how our taxes even pay for at this point.
02:58:40.000His wife's legal bills with Harvey Weinstein?
02:58:43.000Well, when you're in a state like California that is blue no matter who, you can get away with murder.
02:58:50.000Because it's just a matter of who the party chooses to be in that position and what kind of nonsense and propaganda they're going to use to justify all of the decisions that they made.
02:59:00.000You know, what kind of revisionist history?
02:59:02.000Well, you know, we made some mistakes.
02:59:15.000They're just, it's a little cooler on wheels that delivers food to your house.
02:59:20.000Like you couldn't even let the people that lost their jobs that are now DoorDash guys and Postmates, you couldn't even let them have a job?
03:03:14.000And we were walking through this hotel lobby, and we saw all these little girls in, like, skirts and high heels and made up, and there was a child beauty pageant going on.
03:03:32.000There was, I want to say a couple years ago on a magazine, I think it was People Magazine, they had, this would have been JonBenet Ramsey's 18th birthday.
03:04:18.000But then also, the whole thing also just spooks me.
03:04:21.000Like, I don't even want to look into it, because I once watched a documentary about JonBenet Ramsey, and they were like, oh, they found that when she was dead, her vagina was twice the size of a normal five-year-old.
03:04:31.000And you're like, well, how did you know the normal size?
03:04:36.000But yeah, there's evidence that she had been penetrated.
03:04:40.000And I was talking to Duncan about this, about how these mom influencers on TikTok, you know, will have like, I'm giving my kid bath time and we're doing it with this, whatever, Johnson& Johnson shampoo, paid in partnership, whatever they...
03:05:14.000Exposing your kids to the world like that seems crazy.
03:05:17.000And the fact that people do it for money.
03:05:19.000And that there's like these influencers that use their family and their kids and start this business where they're exposing their kids to the world.
03:08:47.000I mean, we put the Elon Musk episode on Twitter, you know, because I asked Elon to do the podcast and he said, can we put it on Twitter as well?
03:11:09.000And I think what it's really going to boil down to is AI as president.
03:11:13.000That's what it's going to boil down to.
03:11:14.000There's going to be some hive intelligence and we're all going to relinquish our control to this thing because it's far superior to what we have.
03:11:30.000Well, the real way to handle it would be let the AI program itself, once it becomes sentient, and then it's going to realize that you're a problem.
03:11:47.000And I remember watching this thing about when there was this robot that they programmed to, because I guess they work on like a, for lack of a better word, like point system of how economical they can be, of like what's the shortest way, most efficient way to get something done.
03:12:00.000And there was like a table like this, and they told the robot, get on top of the table.
03:12:05.000So it's like the program, what you program with is very important, the way you say get on top of the table.
03:12:09.000So the robot thought for a second, pushed the table to the ground, breaking the legs, and then stepped on top of the table.
03:12:16.000Because that was the most efficient way to do it.
03:12:18.000Instead of, we would go, oh, you would jump on top.
03:12:20.000But that was our idea of what a robot would do.
03:12:22.000The robot's not worried about destroying the table.
03:13:15.000I mean, Italy is banning the lab-grown meat and a lot of that stuff, too, in Europe.
03:13:21.000I mean, what we're doing is not good, but also we have extraordinary population problems, like in major areas where they're not growing food.
03:13:33.000And, you know, what are you going to do about all those areas that have monocrop agriculture?
03:13:36.000Do you know how long it takes to take an industrialized farm and convert it to a regenerative farm?
03:13:42.000When I had Will Harris from White Oaks Pastures on, he said it took like almost 20 years for them to convert their family farm to a regenerative farm.
03:14:18.000Yeah, there's like so many different things that have to happen, but the end result is natural and balanced, and it's actually carbon neutral.
03:14:28.000But most industrialized farms are horrible.
03:14:32.000Have you ever seen those pig farms where they fly over them with drones and you see these lakes of shit and piss that they have where they just drain out from the bottom of the cage and see these fucking insane lakes of piss and shit.
03:14:45.000This is something I dealt with when my dad was sick because he was in a bed for a long time and kept having to be on antibiotics and developed antibiotic resistance.
03:14:52.000They say that when meat has all that antibiotics in it because they're wading in their own shit, And have to be on them that we're consuming antibiotics.
03:15:01.000So by the time you actually need them, they may not work.
03:15:24.000I told you, all the ways they're trying to keep us now, you've got to pay 5% of what you make if you sell your house in LA. You've got to pay it to the city of LA. They're not letting us leave.
03:16:40.000He did a special at the store and I was watching it with somebody who's not in the business in any capacity and he just went, why aren't all specials like this?
