The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #2094 - Colion Noir

00:00:12.000 What's up?

00:00:13.000 Nothing much, man.

00:00:14.000 Good to see you.

00:00:14.000 Good to be back.

00:00:15.000 We had a full Texas day today, dude.

00:00:17.000 Yeah.

00:00:17.000 Full Texas.

00:00:18.000 Doesn't get more Texas than that.

00:00:20.000 Shotguns, ate barbecue, went to the staccato range.

00:00:23.000 How sick is that place?

00:00:24.000 Man, dude, you should have, like, I remember when I first went there, Like, I called it the ghetto because that's what we do. 0.58

00:00:30.000 But, like, there was nothing there.

00:00:31.000 Just dirt.

00:00:32.000 Just dirt.

00:00:32.000 And, like, they had some bays and stuff like that, too.

00:00:35.000 And, you know, me and my videographer, we did some shooting out there and we filmed.

00:00:38.000 But it was, like, nothing like it is now.

00:00:40.000 Now it looks like an entire little village of guns.

00:00:44.000 They're dumping a ton of money to that place. 0.90

00:00:46.000 Dude.

00:00:46.000 Like, when we were going around, he was showing us, like, the whole property.

00:00:50.000 Like, I don't know if you saw my face.

00:00:52.000 I was like... 1.00

00:00:53.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:00:54.000 I know. 1.00

00:00:54.000 It must be a lot of money in selling really good guns. 1.00

00:00:56.000 Yeah, yeah, to say the least.

00:00:59.000 Like the lake?

00:01:00.000 Like, you guys have a lake.

00:01:02.000 Why'd you build a lake?

00:01:03.000 He's like, we're gonna have a lake.

00:01:04.000 I'm not gonna lie.

00:01:07.000 There's something about water. 0.96

00:01:08.000 Like, if I ever bought, like, property, like, if I just get over this whole, like, I have to be in the city shit, like, I have my property.

00:01:14.000 I'd want some, like, body of water. 0.94

00:01:15.000 Explain to me the I have to be in the city.

00:01:18.000 I'm just a city rat.

00:01:19.000 Like, I like...

00:01:21.000 You just always like it.

00:01:21.000 Yeah, just the buzz and the energy of the city is something that I just...

00:01:24.000 It's in me.

00:01:25.000 So it's like...

00:01:27.000 Like, I can still... 0.99

00:01:28.000 Like, every year, you know, I'll go out to, like, Utah and go and do all of the, you know, eat, love, pray shit. 0.97

00:01:33.000 And then... 0.98

00:01:36.000 Yeah, I gotta come back to the streets.

00:01:38.000 That's crazy.

00:01:39.000 I like staying in cities.

00:01:40.000 When I stay in New York City, I'm there for a weekend. 0.83

00:01:43.000 But by the time Sunday rolls around, I'm like, alright, get me the fuck out of here. 0.91

00:01:46.000 I don't like it.

00:01:47.000 I've never liked it.

00:01:48.000 Even when I lived in New York, I didn't live in the city.

00:01:50.000 I live in the suburbs.

00:01:52.000 But that was because I couldn't afford it.

00:01:53.000 I couldn't afford an apartment that had parking.

00:01:56.000 It's parking in New York City.

00:01:58.000 It's crazy.

00:01:59.000 And I have to do the road.

00:02:01.000 I travel a lot to do stand-up.

00:02:02.000 I have to be able to drive to gigs.

00:02:04.000 So I was driving to Connecticut and New Jersey.

00:02:06.000 Just to get a parking spot.

00:02:08.000 I forget how much it cost back then.

00:02:10.000 This is the 90s.

00:02:10.000 But it was out of my budget.

00:02:13.000 I'm honestly...

00:02:14.000 I love cities.

00:02:15.000 So anytime I go to...

00:02:16.000 If I travel to a different state I've never been to before, I always want to stay in the city and I always go to their downtowns.

00:02:23.000 New York is one of the places that I genuinely do not like.

00:02:26.000 Really?

00:02:27.000 No, I don't know what it is.

00:02:28.000 I genuinely did not like it, which is weird because I like big cities.

00:02:32.000 But for something about New York, I was just kind of like...

00:02:36.000 Meh.

00:02:37.000 Really?

00:02:37.000 I don't, dude.

00:02:38.000 That doesn't make any sense because it's the most city city.

00:02:41.000 I wish I could articulate it.

00:02:43.000 Just the feeling is not interesting.

00:02:45.000 And it wasn't even like during a weird time.

00:02:47.000 Like I didn't go like during COVID or anything like that.

00:02:49.000 It was pretty normal time.

00:02:52.000 During COVID, they made some weird law in New York City where you're allowed to eat outside.

00:02:57.000 So they built indoor places outside.

00:03:00.000 So they basically built like these, like, there were like little trailers that they set up outside and they put, you know, dining tables in and nice lighting and shit. 0.71

00:03:12.000 Yeah, New York City drivers will have to pay $15 to ride through Manhattan.

00:03:18.000 Yeah.

00:03:18.000 I did not know that.

00:03:19.000 You have to pay money to drive to the city.

00:03:21.000 Oh, this is new!

00:03:23.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:23.000 They're out of money.

00:03:25.000 Yeah, well, yeah, this is what happens when you make stupid policy decisions. 1.00

00:03:29.000 Yeah, you make terrible policy decisions and you say that you're a sanctuary city and then Texas goes, okay, great! 1.00

00:03:39.000 It's kind of a gangster move by Abbott.

00:03:41.000 It's pretty gangster.

00:03:43.000 If you're dealing with the border, and the border is where you are, and everyone's like, we are a sanctuary.

00:03:48.000 Like, oh, are you?

00:03:50.000 Wonderful.

00:03:51.000 I got an idea.

00:03:53.000 What is going on?

00:03:55.000 Have you been paying attention to this standoff between Texas and the Biden administration in terms of the border?

00:04:02.000 Like, Texas has put up barbed wire, and the Biden administration wants the barbed wire taken down.

00:04:09.000 I'll be honest and tell you, I haven't been following it super close, which is odd because I'm Texas born and raised.

00:04:13.000 And the weird thing is, is living in Dallas, you're almost still kind of disconnected from what's going on at the border a little bit because you're so far north.

00:04:20.000 But even in Houston, because you know I'm in Houston a lot too, it's not something that you're confronted with daily.

00:04:26.000 But, but, anybody from Texas usually at some point in time, at some point in time.

00:04:33.000 What was that?

00:04:34.000 Sorry.

00:04:36.000 At some point in time you're gonna go you're gonna go towards the border.

00:04:39.000 Yeah, and you're gonna see it for yourself But what I do know of it I mean at this point we I mean We're trying not to lose control of it essentially from what I can gather what is happening I don't know whose idea is it isn't in terms of what who's letting this happen?

00:04:54.000 Like who's it seems very organized these people know the borders open so they know they could just walk through I think I think there's a lot of virtue signaling, I think, involved in all of the whole, like you talking about with New York saying, you know, we're a sanctuary city.

00:05:09.000 Just, yes, we accept everyone to come in, just not our state and our city, right? 1.00

00:05:16.000 And so I think you have that combined with the reality of what happens when you have a border that honestly is not being...

00:05:23.000 Checked.

00:05:24.000 Right?

00:05:25.000 So if you have a situation where you have people who are able to just come in and leave as they, I wouldn't necessarily say leave, but coming into a state, and it's a choke point because a lot of it is coming in through Texas.

00:05:38.000 So it's easy to have that philosophy of, oh, leave the border, don't make the border, get rid of the barbed wire, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, because we want to seem as if We are welcoming to everyone.

00:05:49.000 And I don't think it's a matter of not wanting to be welcoming.

00:05:52.000 I think it has a lot to do with the same reason why you have a front door with locks on it on your house.

00:05:57.000 At least have a checkpoint to say, okay, well, if you want to come in, I need to know who I'm dealing with.

00:06:03.000 Well, did you see they had this one guy that was on video that he said, you will see who I am soon.

00:06:08.000 And then they found out he's on like some terrorist watch list or something like that.

00:06:12.000 Yeah.

00:06:12.000 Oh, terrific.

00:06:13.000 But that doesn't surprise me, though.

00:06:15.000 Well, it doesn't surprise me either, but it seems too convenient that it's happening with the numbers that it's happening.

00:06:22.000 It seems organized.

00:06:23.000 And I would like to know, like, how is it getting to those people?

00:06:27.000 Is anyone supplying them with resources?

00:06:29.000 Is anyone telling them how to do it?

00:06:31.000 Is this organized?

00:06:32.000 I think it is.

00:06:33.000 Do I have any proof or data to back it up?

00:06:36.000 No, it's a hunch.

00:06:36.000 Yeah.

00:06:37.000 Just because it just doesn't really make sense.

00:06:40.000 I don't think anybody who's honestly being honest with themselves...

00:06:45.000 You're not going to be someone who says, you know what, I just want an open border where any and everyone can come in at will without anybody checking who's actually coming into the country.

00:06:54.000 No, it's insane.

00:06:55.000 It makes no sense.

00:06:56.000 It's insane.

00:06:56.000 It's not the case if you fly in, which is nuts.

00:07:00.000 So if you're coming from some country and you...

00:07:05.000 If you want to emigrate to the United States, it's hard.

00:07:08.000 You have to prove that you have some sort of exceptional skill.

00:07:12.000 There's some reason for you to be here.

00:07:15.000 You get a work visa.

00:07:16.000 You have to apply for citizenship. 0.85

00:07:18.000 I mean, let's just keep it real.

00:07:20.000 There are a lot of people who just don't like this country.

00:07:22.000 Yeah.

00:07:23.000 And they would love to get into the country and cause damage to the country any way they can. 0.99

00:07:27.000 Yes.

00:07:28.000 So I think for anyone to say that they are for open borders...

00:07:35.000 At least there's got to be a percentage of the people that are coming across that we don't want here.

00:07:41.000 There has to be.

00:07:42.000 I mean, that's just reality.

00:07:43.000 Just reality.

00:07:43.000 Yeah.

00:07:44.000 Yeah.

00:07:44.000 And as much as you want to be a kind person, look, I am the grandchild of immigrants.

00:07:49.000 None of my family came from America.

00:07:51.000 They all came from Italy and Ireland.

00:07:53.000 They all came over here.

00:07:54.000 My parents are immigrants.

00:07:55.000 Yeah.

00:07:55.000 So it's like, we're not anti-immigration.

00:07:58.000 But it just seems like, god damn, you got to make sure you're not letting terrorists in. 0.98

00:08:02.000 It seems so simple. 0.99

00:08:03.000 Yeah, but like I said, I think a lot of it has to do, I think there's some grandstanding and there's some virtue signaling going on as well.

00:08:09.000 I think the administration honestly is trying to walk that line of, no, we're so progressive, while at the same time honestly trying to stick it to Texas.

00:08:23.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:08:24.000 It's a dick-swinging competition at this point. 0.99

00:08:26.000 Why would you have a dick-swinging competition about the border? 0.99

00:08:29.000 That seems so insane that you would want people to take down a barrier to entry. 0.93

00:08:33.000 You know what I think?

00:08:34.000 What?

00:08:34.000 I think it has a lot to do with Trump.

00:08:37.000 Because, you know, when he was running his campaign, he was running a lot of it based on the idea he was going to build that wall and border.

00:08:42.000 And so that became a separation point for a lot of people in the country with respect to what side they fell on.

00:08:49.000 And I think there's a particular party in this country that utilized it as a lightning rod to create that level of division.

00:08:55.000 And so I think they're kind of trying to reestablish that again.

00:08:59.000 Which is one of the things that's even more gangster about...

00:09:03.000 Abbott sending people to Chicago, sending people to New York. 1.00

00:09:06.000 Because in Chicago, they're like, get these fucking people out of here. 1.00

00:09:09.000 And the people that live in Chicago, the poor people in Chicago, like, this is bullshit. 1.00

00:09:12.000 These people are getting money. 0.99

00:09:14.000 They're getting all this help.

00:09:16.000 They're getting food.

00:09:17.000 They're getting all this stuff that we don't have.

00:09:19.000 Yeah, people literally in the place who live there.

00:09:22.000 Their whole lives.

00:09:23.000 And then all of a sudden these people sneak in and they're getting this special treatment.

00:09:26.000 I think there's also a level of...

00:09:29.000 Trying to pass the buck a little bit or kind of a mass distraction because when you look at these major cities and you see the conditions that a lot of these people are living in in our own country, right?

00:09:41.000 You start to ask yourself, okay, well, why are these conditions?

00:09:44.000 Why do they exist, right?

00:09:45.000 And they're a very particularized area and very particular places within this country.

00:09:49.000 So it begs the question, it's like, why can't we fix this issue?

00:09:54.000 They're talking about how we want to help these people.

00:09:56.000 They want to come into the country because they're running away from a shitty life and in terrible environments. 1.00

00:10:02.000 I mean, you mean the ones that are synonymous to the ones that we actually have in the country as well, but yet we haven't been able to address that issue?

00:10:07.000 Exactly.

00:10:08.000 Exactly.

00:10:09.000 But I think it's a way to kind of push that to the side and sweep it under the rug and say, no, it's a sexier problem to have when we're trying to deal with people coming from other countries and we want to help them because we're so noble and so brave.

00:10:22.000 But I'm like, you haven't even taken care of what's going on in your own home.

00:10:26.000 And part of the reason why the place they are at sucks, the reason why they come over here is because of what we're doing to those countries. 1.00

00:10:33.000 They know that. 0.76

00:10:34.000 Yeah, there's part of that, too. 0.93

00:10:35.000 I mean, it's part of, like, when we shipped all those fucking jobs overseas and these people were making pennies on the dollar to make goods that we can buy here slightly cheaper. 0.83

00:10:44.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:10:45.000 And we destroyed unions and destroyed American manufacturing.

00:10:49.000 You know, I... I'm not going to go so far as to say a little bit of that is our fault as well as consumers.

00:10:57.000 Because when you do try to make stuff in America, they're going to be more expensive.

00:11:03.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:04.000 And a lot of people aren't willing to pay that price hike in order to have stuff produced in America.

00:11:08.000 So basically companies become incentivized to then go and have these things created elsewhere because I've seen companies where they struggle because they're trying to make everything in America but that comes with a price that a lot of people aren't willing to pay.

00:11:22.000 And so I wonder How much, you know, it's kind of like with climate change.

00:11:28.000 It's like how much of that is affecting a lot of the manufacturing and so forth going overseas?

00:11:34.000 Some of it is, but there's enough people that want to buy American-made products from people that get paid a fair wage that if you advertise that and make that...

00:11:43.000 A lot of people say they do.

00:11:44.000 Well, a lot of people do look at Origin.

00:11:46.000 Origin can't keep clothes on the shelves.

00:11:48.000 Everything's flying off their boots, their clothes, their hunting gear.

00:11:51.000 They can barely keep them in stock.

00:11:53.000 Everybody wants it because it's 100% American.

00:11:55.000 You think that's the only reason why?

00:11:57.000 What do you think it is?

00:11:58.000 I don't know.

00:11:59.000 I'm not that familiar with Origin, honestly.

00:12:01.000 Well, Origin is my friend Jocko's company, and I'm a part of it, and I know that what they're doing is very popular.

00:12:08.000 And it's very popular because that's part of their mission statement.

00:12:12.000 Bring back American manufacturing. 0.95

00:12:14.000 Take pride in the fact that these things that you're wearing, these things that you purchase, these things you use every day, is 100% American-made.

00:12:22.000 Everything, down to the buttons, the threads, everything put together, all the cloth.

00:12:26.000 Everything's sourced from America.

00:12:28.000 100%.

00:12:29.000 100%.

00:12:29.000 That's actually pretty damn impressive.

00:12:31.000 Pretty damn impressive.

00:12:32.000 The only thing they don't have from America, there's a part of a boot that you can only get in South America.

00:12:38.000 Gotcha.

00:12:38.000 So even that's America.

00:12:39.000 It's just South America, but not United States.

00:12:41.000 But that's one piece, and they eventually are planning on figuring out a way to manufacture that piece.

00:12:46.000 Is that where the name comes from, Morton?

00:12:47.000 I don't know.

00:12:48.000 It fits.

00:12:49.000 It does fit.

00:12:50.000 Yeah, it does fit.

00:12:51.000 I don't know the origin of the name.

00:12:54.000 But I feel like if you had an American-made cell phone, I've been saying this forever. 0.99

00:12:58.000 Give me a fucking iPhone that's made by people that aren't working for slave wages. 0.98

00:13:02.000 Give me an iPhone that's not made in a factory where people have nets around the building to keep people from jumping off the roofs because they hate their lives. 1.00

00:13:10.000 Give me a phone that you didn't get sourced the materials by slave labor in the Congo. 0.99

00:13:17.000 Can you fucking do that? 0.99

00:13:19.000 Is it possible to do that? 1.00

00:13:21.000 Because if it is, how much more is it?

00:13:23.000 Is it $300 more? 0.95

00:13:25.000 I'll pay $300 more for a phone that I know I don't have to feel like shit about. 0.93

00:13:30.000 It begs the question, though. 0.96

00:13:31.000 You and I, yeah.

00:13:33.000 I would do it.

00:13:34.000 I think enough people would.

00:13:35.000 But I have the monetary ability to do it.

00:13:37.000 I wonder how much of, you know, the people who aren't necessarily in the economic position to pay, like to them, that's considerable markup, right?

00:13:47.000 Yeah.

00:13:48.000 I wonder how much of that, I don't know, I wonder how much of that plays into a part of, you know, facilitating this kind of shipping or manufacturing everything overseas because they can build things cheaper and then people continue to buy it.

00:13:57.000 So maybe I take a step back and I say, all right, maybe it's not just a, oh yeah, they say they want American, but we aren't willing to pay for it.

00:14:04.000 Maybe some people, maybe a large part of people just can't.

00:14:07.000 I don't know.

00:14:08.000 A large percentage of people probably can't.

00:14:10.000 The people that are living check-to-check can't.

00:14:12.000 But there's enough people that are not living check-to-check that would feel better about buying something.

00:14:17.000 And maybe instead of buying an iPhone every year or a cell phone every year, Buy one every other year, every two years, every three years.

00:14:27.000 It's feasible.

00:14:29.000 It makes sense.

00:14:29.000 No, granted, I'm guilty.

00:14:30.000 Dude, I got a fucking iPhone 11. I keep one of my phones is an iPhone 11. The motherfucker works perfect. 0.98

00:14:36.000 Yeah, I'm literally the person you're talking about. 0.99

00:14:39.000 I upgrade my phone on the day the new one comes out to the minute.

00:14:43.000 I got 15. I have no reason to have this fucking phone. 1.00

00:14:46.000 There's no reason. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Granted, I live and die by my... 1.00

00:14:49.000 These phones do everything for me now.

00:14:52.000 Yeah, me too.

00:14:52.000 I have reached a point now where I'm kind of like, I don't want to upgrade, but for no other reason than I don't want to have to go through the update process.

00:15:00.000 The changeover process is really annoying.

00:15:03.000 It is weird. 0.97

00:15:07.000 Phone numbers get all fucked up. 0.87

00:15:09.000 Something happened where phone numbers got attached in iMessage to old emails of other people? 0.97

00:15:17.000 Yeah.

00:15:17.000 I've had some really spooky stuff happen on my phones.

00:15:20.000 And I'm like, what the hell's going on here?

00:15:22.000 Like, I had a friend tell me.

00:15:24.000 He was like...

00:15:25.000 He's like, I called you and somebody else picked up.

00:15:28.000 Yeah, that happened to your friend too.

00:15:30.000 I go, dude, is this your phone number?

00:15:32.000 I go, bro, a woman answers the phone. 0.99

00:15:34.000 That's exactly what happened to me.

00:15:36.000 What's that?

00:15:36.000 I have no idea.

00:15:38.000 Maybe, I mean, I have.

00:15:40.000 I don't know.

00:15:40.000 I mean, at the end of the day, we are talking about devices, right, that are essentially supercomputers.

00:15:47.000 In our hands.

00:15:48.000 So maybe it's just the fault of the system that just, it's bound to happen, where you get this kind of cross-communication and it just can't keep up with it.

00:15:56.000 I forgot who the comedian was.

00:15:59.000 You know, he was talking about how impatient we are these days because it was one of my favorite bits because it's so true.

00:16:04.000 He's like, we get these cell phones and then the moment it stops working a little bit, we get pissed off and it's like it's sending... 0.99

00:16:12.000 Message to fucking space. 0.98

00:16:13.000 Oh, that's Louis CK. Louis CK, exactly. 0.99

00:16:15.000 And so I was like, yeah, that's a very poignant point.

00:16:19.000 It's a very good point.

00:16:20.000 And yeah, I mean, it's easy to get annoyed at technology when it doesn't suit your needs, but it's just...

00:16:25.000 Uconnect.

00:16:26.000 Yeah, the TRX. My TRX has this system.

00:16:31.000 I love the truck.

00:16:32.000 It's awesome.

00:16:33.000 But that system is whack.

00:16:34.000 You have one too, right?

00:16:35.000 The Uconnect is whack.

00:16:36.000 I did a whole video on Instagram about it.

00:16:39.000 It's the worst infotainment system I've ever experienced in a vehicle.

00:16:44.000 It sometimes just doesn't connect to CarPlay.

00:16:47.000 It's possessed.

00:16:48.000 I've literally driven 15 minutes, and it has connected and disconnected five times.

00:16:53.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:54.000 I'm like, this is...

00:16:55.000 And then I step on the gas and I hear that whine, and I don't forget about it.

00:17:04.000 Mine's at Hennessey right now.

00:17:06.000 They're replacing the screen or something.

00:17:08.000 Something is wrong with the screen.

00:17:10.000 It just shut off.

00:17:11.000 I want to take mine at Hennessey.

00:17:12.000 I haven't done it yet.

00:17:13.000 It's addictive.

00:17:14.000 I want to get the unnecessary 1,000 horsepower pickup truck.

00:17:18.000 But the one that comes out of the factory is 700. What is wrong with mine?

00:17:21.000 It's not, but I mean, America, right?

00:17:23.000 America.

00:17:24.000 You know how the Dodge Demon is a thousand horsepower, the new one?

00:17:28.000 They're making a 1700 horsepower Dodge Demon.

00:17:32.000 I thought it was going to be the last one.

00:17:33.000 No, Hennessy is.

00:17:35.000 Oh, Hennessy.

00:17:36.000 That's Hennessy. 1.00

00:17:36.000 Hennessy does shit like that. 1.00

00:17:37.000 You're a psycho. 1.00

00:17:38.000 What a psycho. 1.00

00:17:39.000 Imagine getting a thousand horsepower two-door car and go, man, it needs more power. 0.97

00:17:44.000 But it's amazing how accustomed you get to speed.

00:17:50.000 Like, you can get, like...

00:17:53.000 I mean, it probably takes all in all with consistent driving, I'd say about three weeks.

00:17:59.000 Before you're like...

00:18:01.000 I could use some more power.

00:18:02.000 That's the problem with Teslas.

00:18:04.000 Yeah.

00:18:04.000 That's the problem with Teslas.

00:18:06.000 I'm still... 1.00

00:18:06.000 I know you like engines, you like the sound, but if you go from that fucking car, go from the Plaid, the 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds, silently, like a fucking time-traveling machine. 1.00

00:18:17.000 I think I feel disconnected. 0.99

00:18:18.000 I think it freaked me out a little bit, because without the sound and the noise, it's kind of like...

00:18:23.000 Have you driven it?

00:18:24.000 Have you tried it?

00:18:25.000 I've driven a Tesla...

00:18:26.000 Well, not a Plaid.

00:18:27.000 But I've driven one of the earlier model Teslas.

00:18:29.000 There are aspects to it, like I'm not anti-electric.

00:18:33.000 I'm just anti-get rid of ICE engines in order to bring in electric.

00:18:38.000 That's my issue.

00:18:40.000 I want a choice.

00:18:41.000 Well, Toyota's not going that way.

00:18:42.000 It's really interesting because they get a lot of pushback because of that.

00:18:44.000 Toyota is embracing hybrids.

00:18:46.000 They're like, this doesn't make any sense.

00:18:49.000 You want range, and with hybrids, you get all the range of a regular vehicle, but you get a lot of fuel economy, so you get more range, and you get also the option of extra power.

00:19:00.000 And that's one of the things that Honda did with their last NSX, which was one of the most underappreciated supercars that's ever existed. 0.98

00:19:08.000 That fucking last NSX was a monster. 0.95

00:19:11.000 I took the life of McKenna understand why it didn't do well. 1.00

00:19:15.000 Because it's an Acura.

00:19:16.000 Yeah, but everybody wets their pants over the older NSX. Yeah, but only car dorks like us.

00:19:23.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:19:24.000 Like, the average person does not wet their pants over an old NSX. They're like, what is this fucking old Honda? 0.99

00:19:30.000 We're so branded and fine. 1.00

00:19:32.000 People are so branded.

00:19:34.000 Like, if you pull up in your Lamborghini, right?

00:19:36.000 That sick Lamborghini that you have? 1.00

00:19:37.000 That thing is like, goddamn. 1.00

00:19:40.000 If you're gonna spend that kind of money, that's the response you want. 1.00

00:19:42.000 But it's still just an Audi.

00:19:44.000 It is an Audi, yeah.

00:19:46.000 Yeah, it is an Audi, kind of.

00:19:47.000 But that makes it better, because now it's actually reliable.

00:19:50.000 Which is true.

00:19:51.000 I think one of the best marriages between car manufacturers was Audi and Lamborghini.

00:19:56.000 Yeah.

00:19:57.000 Because everybody knew Lamborghinis were this unreliable but fantastically fun... 1.00

00:20:02.000 Beautiful pieces of shits, right? 0.93

00:20:05.000 And then you get the German engineering of Audi, and then you combine that with the flair and the pomp and circumstance that you get with the Italians, and it's just a beautiful marriage. 0.99

00:20:15.000 It's just, Lamborghini is like 10% too much douche.

00:20:19.000 I know, that's why.

00:20:21.000 I literally, I literally decided to get one just for that.

00:20:27.000 I said I had some investments go well, and I was like, you know what?

00:20:33.000 Let's go.

00:20:34.000 Let's swing it. 0.99

00:20:35.000 Look at that intersex. 1.00

00:20:37.000 That is a fucking amazing car. 0.99

00:20:39.000 It is, but I also think they took too many parts. 0.99

00:20:43.000 Because inherently, I think the silhouette is gorgeous, right?

00:20:46.000 But I still think there's a lot of it that screams Acura.

00:20:50.000 I know this sounds counterintuitive because it is one.

00:20:53.000 I know what you're saying.

00:20:54.000 It's not quite exotic enough.

00:20:56.000 Exactly.

00:20:57.000 At least for the price point.

00:20:58.000 If they brought it and came in at a price point sub 100, they wouldn't be able to keep them.

00:21:03.000 They're still selling the R8. That's a fucking monster car too. 0.99

00:21:06.000 That's also a car that's not appreciated enough. 0.99

00:21:08.000 I am a little kind of indifferent about the R8. Really?

00:21:13.000 Yeah, I drove one once and it just, I couldn't help but feel like, now keep in mind, in all fairness, it was the early, like, first generation R8. I haven't driven any of the newer generations.

00:21:23.000 My friend Everlast had one of the earlier ones.

00:21:25.000 It was pretty dope.

00:21:25.000 But that was back when it was new.

00:21:27.000 Is this the newest one?

00:21:29.000 The one I'm on is a 23. God damn, that thing's sick. 1.00

00:21:33.000 What is that? 1.00

00:21:35.000 That's the next one?

00:21:36.000 Oh, it'll be fully electric.

00:21:37.000 It's after the R8. Next supercar.

00:21:40.000 I don't know about this old full electric shit. 0.99

00:21:42.000 Now, you know what? 1.00

00:21:42.000 I'm full of shit. 1.00

00:21:44.000 Because there is one car I drove that I was like, I actually want this. 1.00

00:21:47.000 What's that?

00:21:48.000 The Taycan.

00:21:49.000 Oh, yeah.

00:21:50.000 Taycan.

00:21:50.000 I was like, okay.

00:21:51.000 All right.

00:21:52.000 That's amazing.

00:21:53.000 That I can...

00:21:54.000 Because it gave me...

00:21:55.000 It was still lacking on the sound aspect.

00:21:58.000 However, what it did do, it still gave me all the driving dynamics that you were used to with Porsche.

00:22:04.000 Yes.

00:22:04.000 You get what I'm saying?

00:22:05.000 And the interior.

00:22:06.000 Exactly.

00:22:07.000 Yes.

00:22:07.000 The driving dynamics.

00:22:09.000 I've driven one.

00:22:09.000 It's amazing.

00:22:10.000 Amazing.

00:22:12.000 I literally, my blood pressure just dropped the moment I got in the car.

00:22:15.000 Look at that thing. 0.92

00:22:16.000 They just know how to do interiors. 0.97

00:22:18.000 They know how to do ergonomics.

00:22:19.000 Without being overboard.

00:22:21.000 And you can also get the Jetson sound.

00:22:24.000 What is the Mission E? Is that the two-door one?

00:22:27.000 Oh shit. 1.00

00:22:29.000 That looks like a four-door to me. 1.00

00:22:31.000 Wait, what was that?

00:22:31.000 Maybe that was the concept.

00:22:32.000 Or was that the concept for the original Taycan?

00:22:35.000 I believe they're coming out with a two-door Taycan. 0.95

00:22:38.000 But the sound, you can get Jetson sounds.

00:22:41.000 So when you hit the gas, the one I was in, it was like...

00:22:45.000 I don't like that.

00:22:47.000 Yeah, you say that until you drive.

00:22:51.000 It sounds awesome.

00:22:52.000 I like my cars sound like they're farting everywhere they go.

00:22:55.000 Look at that.

00:22:57.000 Electric sports sound off.

00:23:00.000 Yeah, so it just takes off silently and then sound on.

00:23:07.000 Come on, man.

00:23:08.000 That sounds amazing.

00:23:09.000 See, the sound you made and then that sound are two different things.

00:23:13.000 Right, right.

00:23:14.000 That's my fault.

00:23:16.000 Come on, that sounds insane. 1.00

00:23:17.000 That sounds like you're in a goddamn spaceship. 0.99

00:23:21.000 It's a different kind of sound. 0.98

00:23:23.000 But even like the Porsche Turbo doesn't have the best sound.

00:23:26.000 It doesn't, because I daily drive one.

00:23:30.000 And I love it.

00:23:31.000 It's so crazy fast.

00:23:32.000 I got rid of the GT3 to get it, which is sacrilegious.

00:23:37.000 The difference in sound.

00:23:38.000 Yeah, because the way that GT3 wails, it's awe-inspiring.

00:23:44.000 Yeah, it is.

00:23:45.000 It's part of the fun.

00:23:47.000 But nothing can be...

00:23:49.000 And I'm going to do a video on this when I start my second YouTube channel.

00:23:54.000 I think the Porsche Turbo S is the greatest...

00:23:58.000 Daily driving supercar on the planet ever created.

00:24:01.000 And they have that marriage with Volkswagen.

00:24:03.000 Yes.

00:24:03.000 Which is also kind of similar.

00:24:05.000 Yeah.

00:24:06.000 But Porsche's always been...

00:24:08.000 They've always been Porsche.

00:24:09.000 They've always been reliable.

00:24:10.000 In terms of supercars, they're the most reliable by far.

00:24:14.000 The most boring supercars, but the greatest.

00:24:16.000 Well, not the GT3 or the GT3 RS. Okay, yeah, I'm not factoring in those.

00:24:20.000 I look at those as more like track weapons.

00:24:23.000 Yeah, but they're still willing to make a 6-speed GT3. And then the ST, which is the new one that's 6-speed as well.

00:24:30.000 I like the Sports Classic.

00:24:32.000 Yeah, that's nice too.

00:24:33.000 Yeah, the 6-speed with the Ducktail.

00:24:37.000 Yeah, they're still willing to make some driver-centric cars.

00:24:41.000 And there's a giant market for them.

00:24:43.000 Like that GT3 Touring, they can't keep that in stock.

00:24:45.000 Yeah.

00:24:46.000 Even though I think the GT3 touring is kind of...

00:24:48.000 Maybe because I like the wing of the original GT3. So the last thing I want is one without the wing.

00:24:55.000 I'm like, if I'm going to do it without the wing, just give me a turbo.

00:24:57.000 Spoken like a true Lamborghini driver.

00:24:59.000 I mean, pretty much.

00:25:01.000 Pretty much.

00:25:02.000 Yeah.

00:25:02.000 There's a bunch of cars that just don't get their deserve, what they deserve, you know?

00:25:08.000 Yeah, I mean, I went down a rabbit hole last night with the Lexus LC 500. See, you say that, I hear LFA. LFA's amazing.

00:25:22.000 But people are doing wild shit with the LC 500 where they're putting wide body kits on them and straight pipes and they sound insane. 0.96

00:25:30.000 Well, I think that's because of the LFA. Because I think once the LFA didn't do as well as they expected it to do, because again, I think they just overpriced it. 0.96

00:25:38.000 Because the market just wasn't ready for a fucking, what was it, like $200,000? 0.94

00:25:44.000 More. 0.98

00:25:44.000 I think it was more. 0.98

00:25:45.000 Well, now it is.

00:25:46.000 Yeah.

00:25:46.000 But I think even out of the box, I think it was three.

00:25:48.000 Oh, it was like three?

00:25:49.000 Yeah.

00:25:50.000 See, and for Lexus, that's still pushing it.

00:25:52.000 That's the thing.

00:25:53.000 It's a label thing, right?

00:25:54.000 Like, if you want to pull up in a $300,000 car, it's going to be a Ferrari.

00:25:58.000 Exactly.

00:25:58.000 It's how they got away with selling to yours.

00:26:00.000 Yeah.

00:26:01.000 Look at that. 1.00

00:26:02.000 Look at that motherfucker. 1.00

00:26:03.000 Okay, that almost looks like an 812. Look at that fucking thing. 1.00

00:26:07.000 That's with the wide body kit on it. 1.00

00:26:08.000 That's amazing.

00:26:10.000 That is pretty badass.

00:26:10.000 Yeah, but you can only get that up to like 550 horsepower with a lot of modification.

00:26:15.000 Are they turbo?

00:26:16.000 No, it's a V8, but it sounds incredible.

00:26:19.000 Natural aspirated?

00:26:20.000 Yes.

00:26:21.000 Oh, okay.

00:26:21.000 Yeah, it sounds incredible.

00:26:22.000 And the interior is insane.

00:26:26.000 Lex has always done interiors.

00:26:27.000 See if you can find a video of one with a wide body, because there's some awesome videos of them.

00:26:33.000 Because there's a lot of people doing these now.

00:26:35.000 Because they've been out for like, what, like six, seven years now?

00:26:38.000 Yeah.

00:26:38.000 There's a lot of people doing wide body kits with them.

00:26:41.000 That's kind of a nasty setup.

00:26:42.000 That's a nasty looking car, man.

00:26:45.000 Ew.

00:26:46.000 But with the wide body setup, you're getting a wider stance, you're getting wider fat tires.

00:26:51.000 I'm not a fan of the wing.

00:26:52.000 The wing's polarizing.

00:26:55.000 I think wings are 50-50.

00:26:56.000 They either work or they don't.

00:26:57.000 I think it looks great on black cars.

00:26:59.000 Yes.

00:27:00.000 I think if you get it on the white car, it looks a little sus.

00:27:02.000 Yeah, it's a little too disjointed.

00:27:03.000 But I saw one that was matte black with a wing.

00:27:06.000 It looked fucking insane with the wide body kit. 0.67

00:27:08.000 And then he had it set up with a remote control for the pipes. 0.96

00:27:13.000 So you could have it even more silent than stock.

00:27:15.000 You could have it like it is stock or you could have straight pipes.

00:27:19.000 Yeah.

00:27:20.000 I've never ever put...

00:27:22.000 I've never done aftermarket exhaust on any car I've ever owned.

00:27:25.000 Really?

00:27:25.000 No.

00:27:26.000 I never get to it. 0.99

00:27:28.000 I'm a car whore.

00:27:29.000 So you swap them out? 0.96

00:27:30.000 Yes.

00:27:31.000 But the thing is, I do a bunch of other stuff, right?

00:27:33.000 I'll tune them.

00:27:34.000 I'll wrap them.

00:27:35.000 I'll put all types of security features. 0.97

00:27:37.000 All that crap. 0.91

00:27:39.000 Radar detectors, blockers, all that nonsense. 0.98

00:27:41.000 But then when it's time to get ready to do the aftermarket exhaust...

00:27:45.000 I'm like, ooh, what's that? 0.97

00:27:47.000 There's some California fucking politician that was just trying to pass a bill to make it so you can't go more than 10 miles an hour over the speed limit in a car. 0.99

00:27:57.000 Yeah, he should be fired. 0.99

00:27:58.000 He's also one of the same guys that was a part of...

00:28:03.000 There was this very controversial LBG... This guy.

00:28:08.000 Is this it?

00:28:10.000 California bill calls for tech to make new cars unable to speed.

00:28:13.000 Now, who is the guy?

00:28:17.000 Who is the guy who's at the head of it?

00:28:23.000 Yes, Wiener.

00:28:24.000 He would be called that.

00:28:25.000 But this guy is also the same guy that was pushing for some very controversial law about...

00:28:34.000 So there's a difference between...

00:28:36.000 Yeah, Scott Wiener.

00:28:39.000 He's kind of a freak.

00:28:41.000 Scott Wheeler's kind of a freak. 0.99

00:28:42.000 There's pictures of him with a dog collar on at a gay pride parade. 0.98

00:28:46.000 Oh, I know who you're talking about. 0.58

00:28:47.000 Exactly.

00:28:47.000 Yeah, that guy.

00:28:48.000 So that guy was also part of some very...

00:28:51.000 That's him.

00:28:52.000 He looks like a skinnier version of Jerry from Subway.

00:28:54.000 So he's got a leather vest on with a tie with no shirt at the gay pride parade, which is, you know, have a good time.

00:29:01.000 Do you.

00:29:01.000 Who cares?

00:29:02.000 Have a good time.

00:29:02.000 But you're pushing it with this over...

00:29:04.000 But it was a very controversial bill that people were trying to misinterpret, but it was about age of consent.

00:29:13.000 And they were saying that age of consent, that there was some part about the way the law was structured that was discriminating against LBGT people.

00:29:27.000 Okay.

00:29:28.000 Yeah, that's what I thought.

00:29:30.000 I was like, what are you trying to say?

00:29:32.000 Apparently, there's some discretion.

00:29:35.000 With age gaps when it comes to heterosexual couples.

00:29:39.000 So, like, say if, like, a girl is 16 in California, she'd be underage, and a boy's 18. What if they start dating when the boy was 17, the girl was 15, and the guy turns 18?

00:29:50.000 It's technically illegal.

00:29:52.000 So if they go to a judge, like, a judge could say, listen, this is not a pedophile, this is a young couple.

00:29:58.000 But if the guy's 40 and the girl's 16, now you got a real problem. 0.98

00:30:02.000 So that's interesting you say that because I got into kind of a little bit of shit in my law school class when I was in law school one time when we were talking about statutory rape. 0.98

00:30:12.000 So, statutory rape is a strict liability crime, basically. 0.99

00:30:15.000 There's no excuse for it.

00:30:16.000 She can have a fake ID, she can look 30 years old, give you all the signals that she's of age. 1.00

00:30:21.000 And if she's underage, you're fucked. 1.00

00:30:24.000 Right. 1.00

00:30:24.000 Regardless, right? 1.00

00:30:25.000 Right.

00:30:25.000 Even if they lie.

00:30:26.000 Yeah.

00:30:26.000 And I didn't think that was fair, personally.

00:30:30.000 And there are very few people in my lawsuit class who agreed with me with respect to that.

00:30:34.000 I understand the reasoning behind it, but I mean, at that point, That person's life is done, especially considering if...

00:30:44.000 I've known of girls and women who have gone to great lengths to mask their age and to be deceptive about it and lie about it to people. 0.96

00:30:52.000 And then if somebody succumbs to that, now not only do they go to jail, now they're a sex offender for the rest of their lives.

00:31:00.000 Well, to your point, I have a friend and his sister's friends...

00:31:06.000 They're in California.

00:31:07.000 His sister's friends are 15, and he's got this giant issue because the 15-year-old friends are using fake IDs and going to LA clubs. 0.98

00:31:17.000 They're fucking sophomores in high school, and they're getting into LA clubs with fake IDs. 0.97

00:31:22.000 And you wouldn't be able to tell just by the time. 1.00

00:31:23.000 You cannot tell.

00:31:24.000 When they've hit puberty, and they're wearing makeup, and they're wearing sexy clothes, and they're going out.

00:31:29.000 Sorry to say sexy about a 15-year-old kid.

00:31:31.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:31:32.000 Provocative clothing.

00:31:32.000 From a stereotypical aspect of understanding what sexy clothes look like.

00:31:35.000 Like that.

00:31:36.000 And if you're a guy and you don't know any better, that's crazy.

00:31:41.000 Yeah.

00:31:41.000 And we're not even talking like they're 15 and they look 17. Right.

00:31:46.000 They look like 25. Yeah.

00:31:48.000 You can be very deceptive.

00:31:52.000 As a young person, if you're properly dressed and if you have good genetics.

00:31:57.000 At the same time, I still understand the basis behind the strict liability aspect of the law as well because it's like you want to go above and beyond to protect the youth.

00:32:06.000 100%.

00:32:07.000 So at the time, I guess I didn't articulate it the right way.

00:32:11.000 All I was saying was like, that doesn't seem fair.

00:32:13.000 I understand it.

00:32:15.000 There needs to be some type of discernment given with respect to the context, the entire context of the situation.

00:32:23.000 Well, there's some wild, unfair laws in California, and one of them has to do with whether or not you are the father of a child. 0.99

00:32:32.000 So, I know a guy, and he unfortunately had a good friend who fucked his wife. 0.99

00:32:42.000 And he did not know this was happening. 0.99

00:32:44.000 And this good friend got his wife pregnant and he raised that kid as his daughter.

00:32:49.000 And he didn't know until after his friend was dead.

00:32:52.000 His friend died.

00:32:53.000 And then after his friend was dead, he was stuck.

00:32:59.000 Paying child support until that kid was 18, no matter what.

00:33:02.000 Even though he got a paternity test, it was like something's going on.

00:33:05.000 Got a paternity test, found out it was his friend's kid.

00:33:08.000 Devastating, right?

00:33:09.000 Your friend's dead.

00:33:10.000 He was your best friend. 1.00

00:33:11.000 Now he's dead, and you're raising his fucking kid. 1.00

00:33:14.000 And you have to pay for it. 1.00

00:33:17.000 So he tried to appeal. 1.00

00:33:18.000 No, fuck you. 1.00

00:33:19.000 You have to pay. 1.00

00:33:20.000 But part of me is also like, listen, you don't have to be a biological father to love a child.

00:33:27.000 And I have a stepdaughter.

00:33:28.000 I love her like my daughter.

00:33:29.000 If I was in that situation, I would want to still pay for that girl. 0.99

00:33:33.000 I wouldn't want to give any fucking money to that woman, though. 1.00

00:33:36.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:33:36.000 So if you have to give that woman money and then she distributes it, that's where it gets weird. 0.99

00:33:42.000 Because it's up to their discretion.

00:33:44.000 When you pay child support...

00:33:45.000 Oh yeah, it goes straight to them.

00:33:46.000 It goes to the mom.

00:33:47.000 The mom can buy shoes.

00:33:48.000 She can go buy a purse.

00:33:49.000 She doesn't have to do anything with the kid.

00:33:51.000 Especially if she has a job already.

00:33:52.000 So the idea is you're compensating her for the fact that you have a child together.

00:33:56.000 But it's up to her discretion.

00:33:58.000 If we're just going to be honest.

00:34:00.000 Child support, by and large, it's a business relationship between the mother... 0.89

00:34:06.000 Most times, between the mother and the state.

00:34:09.000 Because it's not like the child support office doesn't take a portion of the money that's being paid.

00:34:14.000 Right.

00:34:14.000 Right?

00:34:15.000 So they're incentivized to have as many people on child support as possible, regardless of the context and the situation.

00:34:22.000 So the state is not your friend in that respect.

00:34:24.000 So understanding that, it just blows my mind that you can have a situation like that where he doesn't even have a choice in the matter.

00:34:33.000 Right.

00:34:33.000 Right?

00:34:33.000 Because there'll be a good number of men who would say, you know what?

00:34:38.000 I don't like it. 0.99

00:34:39.000 I'm done fucking with you as far as the mother, but I still want to do what I can to help with the child. 0.99

00:34:48.000 When you put him in a position where he doesn't even have a choice in the matter... 0.99

00:34:50.000 Well, the dude that we're talking about was struggling, too.

00:34:53.000 My man was struggling.

00:34:55.000 He was not...

00:34:55.000 And he's gone, too, now, so I can talk about this.

00:34:58.000 But he was struggling.

00:34:59.000 He was not doing well.

00:35:00.000 And he had a monthly nut that he was obligated to pay.

00:35:03.000 And he tried to...

00:35:05.000 His career was in the shitter.

00:35:07.000 It wasn't going well.

00:35:08.000 And he had monthly...

00:35:09.000 And he could get jailed.

00:35:11.000 That's crazy!

00:35:13.000 Everything's crazy about it.

00:35:14.000 It was his friend.

00:35:15.000 Everything's awful about it.

00:35:16.000 I'm laughing to avoid getting pissed.

00:35:18.000 I'll tell you who it is afterwards because it's going to blow your mind.

00:35:21.000 But remind me. 0.97

00:35:23.000 But the whole story behind it is so sad because the guy loved his friend and then after the friend's dead, he finds out the friend fucked his wife and got her pregnant and then he was raising that kid as his own. 0.98

00:35:38.000 So much of it is awful. 0.87

00:35:40.000 Yeah, and then nothing, I think, I think, I don't know, I think if that's the, I think the woman should be forced to pay alimony to the husband. 0.99

00:35:54.000 In that situation.

00:35:55.000 I don't know.

00:35:56.000 I don't know about alimony, but I just don't.

00:35:59.000 I just think there should be some level of punishment as a result of it.

00:36:02.000 If you're going to force him to pay child, now it's probably going to end up canceling yourself out, right?

00:36:06.000 Because it's kind of backwards.

00:36:07.000 It's just me wanting some type of retribution for him.

00:36:09.000 Right.

00:36:10.000 Because it's like, she just gets away with this scot-free.

00:36:13.000 Like, there's nothing.

00:36:15.000 She didn't just get away with it.

00:36:16.000 She enforced it. 0.69

00:36:17.000 She went to court for it.

00:36:18.000 Come on.

00:36:19.000 After the fact, she went to court and won.

00:36:22.000 Come on.

00:36:23.000 I know it's so awful.

00:36:24.000 And meanwhile, this guy is living with the heartbreak of his friend's betrayal, his friend's death first, then his friend's betrayal, and then his wife's betrayal, and then the financial obligation that he has that he can't afford.

00:36:38.000 It gets even worse in Canada.

00:36:39.000 Dave Foley, my friend from News Radio, when he was married, his wife and him got divorced when he was at the peak of his career.

00:36:49.000 So he's making the most money he's ever going to make.

00:36:51.000 He's on a sitcom.

00:36:52.000 It's his sitcom.

00:36:53.000 He's doing really well.

00:36:54.000 And he had a certain amount that he had to pay. 0.98

00:36:57.000 And in Canada, when his income dropped substantially, because, you know, you just can't have a fucking sitcom all the time. 0.90

00:37:04.000 If you're lucky, you get one your whole life. 0.82

00:37:08.000 The judge said to him, your ability to pay has no relationship to your obligation to pay.

00:37:17.000 So this exorbitant amount of money that he was paying, because at one point in time he was doing really well, that is how much you have to figure out how to make forever.

00:37:27.000 Or what?

00:37:28.000 Or you go to jail. 1.00

00:37:29.000 You see how stupid that is? 1.00

00:37:31.000 It's crazy. 1.00

00:37:32.000 It's dumb. 0.98

00:37:32.000 So if the point of... 0.98

00:37:38.000 God, I'm blanking out here.

00:37:40.000 If the point of child support is so that the child is supposed to be in the best interest of the child and making sure the child is provided for, why would you then create the very circumstance that would inevitably end up ripping the father away, not only just the father, but then also the money that could be going to the child,

00:37:56.000 whether or not it's the actual amount you established beforehand or not?

00:37:59.000 Right. 1.00

00:38:00.000 Just lower the damn payments. 1.00

00:38:02.000 If you have justification for determining, you know what, he can't make these payments anymore, let's lower it to a payment he can make while still allowing the father to be in a child's life and have some type of money going in, do that shit. 1.00

00:38:12.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:38:13.000 Like, just arbitrary idea that, no, we set a million dollars for you to pay every month to this child.

00:38:17.000 You can't pay for it.

00:38:18.000 We're going to throw you in jail because it's in the best interest of the child.

00:38:21.000 Don't get me started on this joke.

00:38:22.000 Don't get me started on this joke.

00:38:24.000 It's like there's a lot of aspects of the law that were written in good faith that, like, child support is one of them.

00:38:31.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:38:31.000 Like, if you're a father, fuck yeah, you should pay for your kids, 100%. 0.98

00:38:34.000 But then when you get into situations like, yeah, wait a minute, how much? 0.99

00:38:38.000 Yeah.

00:38:39.000 100,000 a month?

00:38:41.000 You don't need that.

00:38:41.000 Whatever it is.

00:38:42.000 Like, that's crazy.

00:38:43.000 You don't need that.

00:38:44.000 Well, that's the weird thing about alimony as well.

00:38:47.000 You have to maintain the lifestyle.

00:38:50.000 So, like, someone becomes accustomed to a lifestyle.

00:38:52.000 Like, say if you're married to Bill Gates.

00:38:54.000 If you get divorced from Bill, say if you only married to Bill for a year or two.

00:38:57.000 If you get divorced, you're entitled to a large sum of money, unless there's some sort of prenuptial agreement, which I'm sure there is.

00:39:04.000 But if there's not, you're accustomed to a lifestyle.

00:39:07.000 She's used to caviar and private jets.

00:39:09.000 Now you know why I live in Texas, brother.

00:39:11.000 It's a man state. 0.91

00:39:15.000 Well, it's a great state in a lot of ways.

00:39:18.000 And I was having a conversation with Ari today while I was trying to convince Ari to move here when we're at the range with him.

00:39:23.000 Wait, hold on.

00:39:24.000 Was it really Ari's first time ever shooting?

00:39:26.000 I don't know if he's shot guns before.

00:39:30.000 I don't know.

00:39:31.000 Because I think I remember him saying that.

00:39:33.000 It seemed like it was his first day, at first. 1.00

00:39:36.000 And then, you're fucked up, dude. 1.00

00:39:37.000 If that's his first time shooting, and the first time he shoots is with staccatos, you're fucked up. 1.00

00:39:42.000 Oh yeah, I know, right? 1.00

00:39:43.000 You're fucked up, bro. 1.00

00:39:47.000 You're so spoiled. 1.00

00:39:47.000 You're so spoiled that it's the smoothest shooting gun that's ever existed, if that's what you have. 1.00

00:39:52.000 That's all I've ever shot.

00:39:54.000 That's true.

00:39:54.000 Yeah, Jamie's ruined.

00:39:56.000 Jamie has a staccato.

00:39:57.000 You have a CS, right?

00:39:58.000 I didn't get it yet.

00:39:59.000 Oh, you didn't get it yet?

00:40:00.000 What are you doing, Jamie?

00:40:00.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.

00:40:02.000 You gotta get on it, man.

00:40:02.000 I thought you got one.

00:40:03.000 We were gonna, but...

00:40:04.000 Okay, listen.

00:40:06.000 What are you carrying?

00:40:07.000 What are you carrying your little fanny pack?

00:40:08.000 CS. You carrying CS? Yeah.

00:40:10.000 See, I carry CS. I'm carrying CS right now.

00:40:12.000 CS is nice.

00:40:12.000 Yeah.

00:40:13.000 So small and so light, and it's amazing.

00:40:16.000 And it shoots so much bigger than...

00:40:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:40:19.000 What it actually is.

00:40:20.000 So flat.

00:40:21.000 Yeah.

00:40:21.000 And the recoil is so non-existent.

00:40:23.000 It's so smooth in the hand.

00:40:25.000 I love that.

00:40:26.000 When we went to the factory today, so we should tell everybody, we went to the Staccato factory and we toured it for an hour.

00:40:30.000 And I didn't even know we were going to tour the factory.

00:40:32.000 I thought we were just going to go to the range.

00:40:33.000 But they wanted to show.

00:40:34.000 They're so proud of their manufacturing process.

00:40:37.000 They wanted to show it to us.

00:40:39.000 It's amazing.

00:40:40.000 How much effort is into each gun and how much engineering.

00:40:43.000 The enthusiasm they had for you today is the same enthusiasm when they were in that little tiny spot.

00:40:49.000 Because I did the tour when they were at the older building.

00:40:51.000 I did too.

00:40:51.000 Oh, okay.

00:40:52.000 Yeah, I basically saw the same thing twice.

00:40:54.000 But now I see the big version of it. 0.85

00:40:57.000 It's pretty fucking amazing. 0.93

00:40:58.000 It is. 0.98

00:40:59.000 It's amazing.

00:40:59.000 I really genuinely love staccatos.

00:41:03.000 Well, I love engineering.

00:41:05.000 I love when someone just does something to the best they can do it.

00:41:09.000 When they're explaining that it's 24 hours of work just to port one piece.

00:41:16.000 And that they're literally down to the tolerance is one third of the width of a human hair.

00:41:23.000 That's their tolerance.

00:41:24.000 Anything more than that, they throw it away.

00:41:25.000 That's crazy. 1.00

00:41:26.000 My brain can't even really fathom that shit. 1.00

00:41:28.000 And when you see all the computer-controlled machinery and all this shit, yeah, this is the manufacturer. 1.00

00:41:35.000 This is the old one. 0.97

00:41:36.000 That's the...

00:41:37.000 Is it?

00:41:38.000 Yeah, that's the old shop.

00:41:39.000 I think it's the old shop.

00:41:40.000 What year is this video from?

00:41:42.000 Go pull my video up.

00:41:44.000 I did a video on it.

00:41:45.000 Yeah.

00:41:48.000 I think the video...

00:41:50.000 Put Koleon Noir, GT3, Staccato.

00:41:56.000 It should...

00:41:58.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:41:59.000 Go back, go back.

00:42:01.000 No, type GT3. Because what I did is I drove from Dallas to Georgetown.

00:42:07.000 The XC? There we go.

00:42:08.000 Well, you were just saying the XT's your favorite.

00:42:10.000 That's my favorite, too.

00:42:10.000 The XC's insane.

00:42:12.000 It's so good.

00:42:14.000 So that's when you went to...

00:42:15.000 That's when it was just...

00:42:16.000 That was the beginning of it.

00:42:18.000 Yes, yes.

00:42:19.000 That's when they...

00:42:20.000 Yeah, because we drove down there with Dallas Porsche Park Place.

00:42:26.000 And...

00:42:26.000 Yeah, so this is the new place.

00:42:28.000 No, that's the old place.

00:42:29.000 Oh, that's the old place.

00:42:30.000 That's the old place, yeah.

00:42:31.000 It looks exactly like the new place.

00:42:33.000 I can't remember when I did this video.

00:42:34.000 It was like two years ago?

00:42:35.000 Two and a half years ago?

00:42:36.000 A year ago?

00:42:37.000 Okay.

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:38.000 But yeah, no, I love the XC. When it came out, I think I was one of the first people to do a video on it.

00:42:46.000 That's when I went and shot at their facility when it was still a ghetto. 0.99

00:42:52.000 I remember I was like, thank God for this.

00:42:54.000 For me, when I carry a firearm, comfort and shootability are major.

00:43:01.000 And I'm not saying other guns I can't shoot. 0.96

00:43:03.000 I can shoot them well.

00:43:04.000 But 2011's just does such a great job of bringing out the best shooter in you. 0.98

00:43:11.000 Right.

00:43:11.000 Because people like to say that a gun, a high-speed, a high-expensive gun can't make you shoot better.

00:43:17.000 I disagree.

00:43:18.000 It's not true.

00:43:18.000 Yeah.

00:43:19.000 I think whatever your skill level is with a non-2011, I think a 2011 will raise it in terms of shootability because they're so easy to shoot. 0.98

00:43:28.000 I call them cheat codes.

00:43:29.000 Yeah, and with a red dot.

00:43:31.000 Exactly.

00:43:31.000 You throw a red dot on there and it's just game over.

00:43:33.000 Yeah.

00:43:34.000 I mean, we're shooting those plates.

00:43:35.000 It's just ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

00:43:36.000 Exactly.

00:43:36.000 So now think about a self-defense situation.

00:43:38.000 Think about how revved up you're going to be.

00:43:40.000 Your adrenaline's dumping.

00:43:41.000 The last thing you need to be worried about are your shooting fundamentals.

00:43:43.000 Right.

00:43:44.000 You just want to feel comfortable and know, I can do that with this gun to protect myself.

00:43:47.000 Yes.

00:43:48.000 And that's it.

00:43:48.000 Call it a day.

00:43:49.000 Yeah.

00:43:50.000 And that's why I really love, love...

00:43:51.000 So I carry it majority of the time unless I can't because of what I'm wearing.

00:43:55.000 Because I have a whole rotation of guns that I carry based on what I'm wearing.

00:44:00.000 But by and large, if I'm going to go to something initially, it's going to go to that first.

00:44:04.000 And then if I can't, then I'll go to something else.

00:44:07.000 Have you seen that concealed carry holster?

00:44:10.000 It goes deep under your pants and you have like a leather strap and you pull it up and it raises up.

00:44:17.000 What do you think about that?

00:44:17.000 I'm not a fan.

00:44:18.000 So I'm...

00:44:19.000 I've tried so many variations of different ways to carry.

00:44:23.000 I've even done your way with the fanny pack deal.

00:44:28.000 And I like that for when I'm running, right?

00:44:32.000 And I know I poke fun at it, but largely the reason why I don't like it day to day is because I don't really like having a lot of stuff on my waist.

00:44:40.000 I like to just have one single thing, especially if it's kind of big, so I like to minimize the footprint.

00:44:44.000 Because I'm usually, like, I'm in sweats 90% of the time, right?

00:44:48.000 So, like, with these sweats that I'm wearing right now, like, they're designed for that.

00:44:53.000 And so I just take, I have my gun, I have the belt.

00:44:55.000 Dump them in the pants. 0.65

00:44:56.000 I'm good to go. 1.00

00:44:57.000 And they're comfortable as shit. 0.99

00:44:59.000 And so for me, that's 99.9% of the way that I carry. 0.99

00:45:05.000 Unless it's like in a bag or something.

00:45:07.000 It's funny that this conversation is so normal with you and I. But if you have this conversation with people from California, they'll look at you like you're fucking insane. 1.00

00:45:16.000 But you carry a gun? 1.00

00:45:18.000 Yeah.

00:45:18.000 Well, it's also like there's a reality, like here's one thing, like constitutional carry.

00:45:24.000 When my friends from California found out that constitutional carry was passed in Texas, so anyone can conceal carry, as long as you're not a criminal.

00:45:32.000 When they saw that, they're like, what? 0.87

00:45:34.000 Are you crazy?

00:45:35.000 But wasn't that recently just passed in Ohio and crime went down? 0.70

00:45:40.000 Went down.

00:45:41.000 Yes.

00:45:42.000 Which is interesting.

00:45:43.000 Because it's a counterintuitive logic, right?

00:45:46.000 Because if your starting point is, if you make guns illegal, then nobody will have guns.

00:45:54.000 Then, yeah, I guess you could make the argument that...

00:45:57.000 Yeah, if nobody broke the law ever.

00:45:59.000 Exactly, right?

00:46:00.000 Including criminals?

00:46:01.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:46:01.000 What a fucking naive perspective. 1.00

00:46:03.000 But people think like that. 1.00

00:46:04.000 Right, but if you think you're going to rob anybody, and then now all of a sudden there's a constitutional carrying, anyone can have a gun on them.

00:46:10.000 That means your job as a criminal has become substantially harder.

00:46:14.000 Substantially.

00:46:14.000 Yeah.

00:46:16.000 We're good to go.

00:46:33.000 It makes your job substantially harder as a criminal to find actual victims.

00:46:37.000 And not only that, and I just did a video recently where it's not even the person you're trying to rob or do something to you have to worry about.

00:46:44.000 You have to worry about the people who may see it.

00:46:47.000 Because in this particular situation, it was at a gas station, guy runs up on him, starts pistol whipping him, and the guy in another car saw it happen and started shooting at the guy.

00:46:56.000 He didn't shoot.

00:46:57.000 He killed him. 0.99

00:46:59.000 And so now you have to start thinking, shit, I'm like, I gotta find either a different place to go to to start looking for victims, or I gotta find a new career path. 0.99

00:47:08.000 I mean, it just is what it is. 0.99

00:47:09.000 It's just logic.

00:47:11.000 Now, I'm not saying all crime is going to go away.

00:47:13.000 I'm not saying that.

00:47:15.000 But if everyone's heavily armed, you're way less likely.

00:47:19.000 It sounds so...

00:47:20.000 It sounds counterintuitive.

00:47:22.000 It sounds not just counterintuitive, but it also sounds anti-progressive in terms of society and people being civilized.

00:47:32.000 It sounds anti-civilized.

00:47:33.000 The idea that everyone having a gun...

00:47:36.000 What does that mean?

00:47:38.000 Who said that pacifism was supposed to be the definition of civility?

00:47:41.000 Right.

00:47:41.000 Well, that's also, like, if you're not able to protect yourself, that doesn't make you a more virtuous person.

00:47:47.000 It doesn't.

00:47:48.000 And a virtuous person with a gun does not have different objectives.

00:47:52.000 You're still the same person.

00:47:54.000 Exactly.

00:47:54.000 You're still a good person, but you also are protected.

00:47:56.000 You have something that if the shit hits the fan... 0.99

00:47:59.000 That you can protect yourself with. 0.99

00:48:00.000 That's my perspective.

00:48:02.000 I do think that there are a lot of people who are anti.

00:48:05.000 It's projection.

00:48:07.000 I've seen this and what the projection is is largely because inevitably you talk to them long enough They'll tell you I don't trust myself with the firearm.

00:48:14.000 So why would I trust you?

00:48:15.000 Yes, that's it, right?

00:48:17.000 They don't want other people to have guns. 0.99

00:48:18.000 I've heard that before By the way, those people when the shit hit the fan in LA Those were people asking me for guns. 0.98

00:48:25.000 Yeah, I had friends asking me Can I borrow a gun? 0.98

00:48:31.000 Yeah, that don't surprise me at all.

00:48:32.000 I go, well, if you lived in Texas, I just give you one.

00:48:34.000 I just give you a gun.

00:48:35.000 Exactly.

00:48:36.000 But I can't because of the laws.

00:48:37.000 Yeah.

00:48:38.000 But I mean, it's easy to call it delusion, but that's essentially what it is.

00:48:44.000 It is delusion.

00:48:45.000 It's delusion, right?

00:48:45.000 And we have it too easy.

00:48:47.000 Yeah.

00:48:47.000 You know, we live in probably the best times that you could possibly live as a human on Earth right now.

00:48:54.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:48:55.000 Maybe like five years ago was better.

00:48:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:58.000 Okay, that's true.

00:48:59.000 That's true.

00:49:00.000 Pre-COVID, pre-economy crash.

00:49:03.000 We live in relative peace.

00:49:05.000 Relative peace.

00:49:06.000 I mean, on a curve, it's pretty...

00:49:08.000 I mean, if you look at a graph over the history of the Mongol invasion, the Inquisition. 0.99

00:49:11.000 Yeah, think about the shit we were doing. 0.69

00:49:13.000 I'm like, dude, I don't want to live in a different era. 0.93

00:49:16.000 No.

00:49:16.000 I don't want to live in a different era.

00:49:17.000 Like, I love the 80s.

00:49:18.000 I love the 80s to death.

00:49:20.000 I'm an 80s boy.

00:49:22.000 I would not want to live in the 80s. 1.00

00:49:24.000 Fuck that. 1.00

00:49:25.000 Imagine driving those stupid cars. 1.00

00:49:27.000 Oh my god. 1.00

00:49:28.000 They have personality though.

00:49:30.000 They have personality. 1.00

00:49:31.000 The fuck out of here. 0.99

00:49:32.000 Cars had personality. 0.99

00:49:33.000 Bro, if I lived in the 80s, I'd have a 1960s car.

00:49:36.000 100%.

00:49:36.000 Because in the 1980s, I had a 1960s car.

00:49:40.000 100%.

00:49:41.000 I always talk myself out of getting one of those old school muscle cars.

00:49:44.000 Every time I want one, but I always talk myself out of it.

00:49:46.000 Bro, drive one of mine.

00:49:47.000 Next time.

00:49:48.000 Next time you come into town, drive my Camaro.

00:49:51.000 Okay.

00:49:52.000 Yeah, what you want is a Restomont.

00:49:54.000 Okay.

00:49:54.000 Jamie, pull up my 1969 Roadster Shop Camaro.

00:49:59.000 Let me see this shit. 1.00

00:50:00.000 Let me see. 1.00

00:50:01.000 Let you see this.

00:50:03.000 Murdered out 1969 Camaro with 850 horsepower.

00:50:08.000 Oh, nice. 0.88

00:50:09.000 And a modern suspension and big ass fat tires.

00:50:11.000 Jeremy Gerber, co-owner of...

00:50:12.000 That's my car.

00:50:14.000 Oh, God.

00:50:15.000 Volume.

00:50:16.000 Volume.

00:50:16.000 Jesus.

00:50:17.000 That's my car.

00:50:18.000 Dude, that is literally how I would do it.

00:50:21.000 Yes!

00:50:22.000 That's how you do it.

00:50:23.000 That is... 1.00

00:50:24.000 Listen to that motherfucker. 1.00

00:50:25.000 Whee! 1.00

00:50:26.000 Oh, yeah.

00:50:27.000 That is sexy.

00:50:28.000 And that car drives like a modern car.

00:50:30.000 Like, that car has incredible brakes, incredible handling.

00:50:32.000 Six feet?

00:50:33.000 Yes!

00:50:34.000 What am I, a communist?

00:50:35.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:50:37.000 Come on, man.

00:50:38.000 If you're gonna get one of those cars...

00:50:39.000 I mean, I don't hate one of those cars in an automatic, but I always like...

00:50:44.000 I mean, I get it.

00:50:45.000 I think if I had...

00:50:45.000 That is beautiful, man.

00:50:46.000 Yeah, man.

00:50:47.000 You could drive one of these, too.

00:50:48.000 You would love it.

00:50:49.000 HRE wheels?

00:50:49.000 Yes.

00:50:50.000 Yeah.

00:50:51.000 Yeah.

00:50:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:50:53.000 Giant fat tires.

00:50:54.000 Then again, this is cheating.

00:50:56.000 I don't get any other color car but black.

00:50:58.000 So you can usually make me happy if you murder anything out.

00:51:01.000 Don't make me pull up my 1970 Silver Barracuda, because you'd change your tune on that.

00:51:06.000 Let me see that.

00:51:07.000 Okay, Jamie.

00:51:08.000 Because I got another Roadster shop car.

00:51:11.000 Really?

00:51:11.000 Yeah, I have three Roadster shop cars, and one of them is a 1970 Barracuda.

00:51:15.000 This is my Barracuda. 0.99

00:51:17.000 Wait till you see this motherfucker. 1.00

00:51:19.000 Come on, son. 1.00

00:51:22.000 That interior's nice.

00:51:23.000 Listen to this. 0.99

00:51:33.000 That is some real resto mod shit. 0.99

00:51:35.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:51:37.000 I see what you're saying.

00:51:37.000 That has a Mercury racing engine in it that goes to 9,000 RPM. Yeah.

00:51:43.000 Yeah, it sounds like an exotic.

00:51:48.000 Yeah.

00:51:49.000 Okay.

00:51:50.000 All right.

00:51:52.000 Could you see it on the road?

00:51:55.000 Let me see it driving.

00:51:56.000 Give me some volume on this.

00:52:00.000 Also, it has a...

00:52:03.000 It has a rear transaxle, so it's 50-50 weight distribution.

00:52:10.000 Oh, that sounds beautiful.

00:52:11.000 Don't tell me you wouldn't drive a silver car.

00:52:13.000 Come on, bro.

00:52:14.000 I would.

00:52:15.000 I would just wrap it black.

00:52:20.000 Listen... 0.99

00:52:22.000 I love that car the way it is, but if that car was in matte black, it would be fucking sick. 0.98

00:52:26.000 Matte black? 0.98

00:52:26.000 I'm matte black everything. 0.98

00:52:28.000 Yeah, matte black is nice.

00:52:29.000 I'm matte black everything.

00:52:30.000 It's nice.

00:52:30.000 It's the only color I like.

00:52:31.000 Yeah, matte is...

00:52:32.000 I do like white.

00:52:33.000 I like white with black wheels.

00:52:34.000 Did you matte black your Lamborghini?

00:52:35.000 Oh, not yet.

00:52:36.000 It will be.

00:52:37.000 Is it shiny right now?

00:52:37.000 It's shiny right now.

00:52:38.000 Still not shiny.

00:52:39.000 I probably won't have it.

00:52:40.000 Nighttime in the city?

00:52:40.000 I probably won't have it longer than a year.

00:52:42.000 Really?

00:52:42.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what I do.

00:52:43.000 I get rid of it, and that's, like, basically drove it for free and then get something else. 0.99

00:52:47.000 That's good, too, so you don't experience the bullshit. 0.88

00:52:49.000 Yeah, I didn't realize that until, like, I always think cars are just depreciating assets. 0.96

00:52:56.000 Not if you buy them right.

00:52:57.000 Not exotics.

00:52:59.000 Yeah, not exotics.

00:53:00.000 You actually make money if you buy Ferraris.

00:53:02.000 Is that yours?

00:53:03.000 Yeah, that's my Turbo S. That's before I wrapped it black.

00:53:08.000 Right now it's gloss black.

00:53:10.000 Yeah, but look at that thing. 0.99

00:53:11.000 My god.

00:53:12.000 I just love the stance.

00:53:13.000 The stance is so sexy.

00:53:13.000 Well, it's also as fast as you can get an internal combustion engine car.

00:53:17.000 It's like basically electric car speeds, but with superior handling.

00:53:23.000 The way that thing handles, it's like it's a cheetah running up a tree.

00:53:26.000 But like I told you, how quickly we get used to it.

00:53:29.000 I'm already talking about tuning it.

00:53:31.000 I want to tune it.

00:53:33.000 That's nuts. 1.00

00:53:34.000 It's, you know, it's dumb. 0.98

00:53:35.000 I mean, I did, the last time I came, I came to Austin, I think it was like on a day, you know, a recent freeze. 0.95

00:53:43.000 Well, it was supposed to be a freeze.

00:53:44.000 Yeah.

00:53:45.000 And it didn't really happen the way everybody thought it was going to happen.

00:53:47.000 It wasn't like a freeze at Armageddon.

00:53:48.000 So I came, why did I come to Austin?

00:53:50.000 I forgot.

00:53:50.000 I came here for something.

00:53:51.000 Oh yeah, it was to look at the car.

00:53:53.000 To look at the Lambo or whatever. 1.00

00:53:55.000 And so I drove in the middle of the night.

00:53:59.000 And I drove from Dallas to Austin.

00:54:02.000 And I think I averaged speed-wise.

00:54:05.000 Don't say it over there.

00:54:06.000 Huh?

00:54:07.000 You're gonna get in trouble.

00:54:08.000 How?

00:54:09.000 Prove it.

00:54:11.000 He's lying right now.

00:54:13.000 So go ahead and lie.

00:54:14.000 All right.

00:54:14.000 So let's just say I maintain a really exciting Amount of speed that was within legal speed limits from Dallas to Austin in the most beautiful way possible.

00:54:28.000 And what blew my mind, and the beautiful thing about the Turbo S is even if it did start snowing or raining or whatever, It's all-wheel drive.

00:54:36.000 Yeah.

00:54:37.000 So, but for like ice, right?

00:54:39.000 Because nothing, I mean, ice is ice.

00:54:40.000 It's not so good with snow either, with those fat tires.

00:54:43.000 True, but I still have all-wheel drive.

00:54:45.000 Yeah.

00:54:46.000 So I could manage.

00:54:48.000 Yeah.

00:54:48.000 I'm worried about other people, especially people in Austin.

00:54:52.000 When we had the freeze here two years ago, I was watching people slide around. 0.99

00:54:55.000 I was like, you don't know what the fuck you're doing. 0.96

00:54:57.000 As a kid who grew up in Boston, I used to drive every day because I delivered newspapers. 0.99

00:55:03.000 So I had to drive 365 days a year.

00:55:05.000 So I know how to drive in snow.

00:55:07.000 I really know how to drive in snow.

00:55:09.000 Did I tell you my story about the first time I ever had to drive in snow ice?

00:55:12.000 No.

00:55:13.000 I never told you?

00:55:14.000 No.

00:55:14.000 Oh boy.

00:55:15.000 This was back when I was with the NRA. And so the NRA had their agency of record, which was Ackerman McQueen.

00:55:23.000 And so I was working through them, and one of the main offices in Oklahoma City.

00:55:29.000 So a lot of times they would have us go down to Oklahoma City for meetings and stuff like that.

00:55:35.000 And so at a Dallas office one time, I had like a 2000, I think it was a 2010 Range Rover, HSE, right?

00:55:44.000 Supercharged.

00:55:47.000 So we drove down there, and, you know, Oklahoma, they get real winters.

00:55:51.000 Yeah.

00:55:51.000 Right?

00:55:51.000 Not like Dallas.

00:55:52.000 Dallas gets, like, half real winters, and then Houston gets fake winters.

00:55:56.000 So we finished the meeting early, and we were, like, he just didn't want to stay in Oklahoma City, me and my coworker at the time.

00:56:04.000 He and I were like, we don't want to stay here in Oklahoma City.

00:56:07.000 We just want to get back to Dallas.

00:56:09.000 How far is the drive?

00:56:10.000 About two and a half hours, three hours.

00:56:12.000 Oh, okay.

00:56:14.000 So, we were getting ready to get to, we were checking out our hotel, and then we were getting ready to get back on the road, and then the lady's like, you know, they closed the freeway down, you know, they like salting freeway or whatever, they closed whatever freeway down. 0.66

00:56:24.000 So we're like, we're cool, we'll just take the back roads.

00:56:27.000 Thinking we were being smart.

00:56:30.000 So we took the back, you know, they don't salt the back roads.

00:56:32.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:56:33.000 So I'm in, and I'm like, I'm in a fucking Range Rover. 0.99

00:56:36.000 I'll be alright. 0.99

00:56:37.000 So I'm in a Range Rover, and it's ice.

00:56:39.000 It's not even snow.

00:56:40.000 It's really ice.

00:56:41.000 It's just, like, the whole world is just sheets of ice, right?

00:56:45.000 So I'm like, if I drive slow and careful, we'll be good.

00:56:48.000 So we're driving, we're driving.

00:56:49.000 And at a certain point, I realized it's probably not the smartest idea in the world, because now...

00:56:55.000 Usually it's kind of like patch of ice, regular road, patch of ice, regular road.

00:56:58.000 No, this was at a point now where it was like straight ice.

00:57:01.000 Remember, they don't salt the back roads.

00:57:04.000 So we're driving and there's like this embankment.

00:57:07.000 Like, yeah.

00:57:08.000 And I'm like, as long as I go slow, I should be good.

00:57:11.000 Keep in mind, I'm a novice at this.

00:57:12.000 I've never driven in this type of condition ever in my life.

00:57:16.000 So I'm just thinking, I'll have a Range Rover for a drive.

00:57:19.000 I'm not realizing your tires are what matter at the time.

00:57:23.000 And so at this point, we go on there and I can feel the car kind of shake a little bit.

00:57:27.000 And I'm like, okay, that's not good.

00:57:29.000 So just slow down a little bit.

00:57:30.000 And just keeps doing it, keeps doing it.

00:57:32.000 And then it snaps.

00:57:34.000 Car starts spinning on the embankment.

00:57:36.000 So now we're heading straight into the ditch.

00:57:38.000 So the truck is spinning.

00:57:39.000 We're heading into the ditch.

00:57:41.000 And we hit the ditch and I come in backwards.

00:57:43.000 Ooh. 0.97

00:57:44.000 And so you know those moments when shit happens and you just kind of have to sit there for a second to take it in and then figure out what the hell's going on? 0.99

00:57:52.000 That's what happened. 0.99

00:57:53.000 And in that time period, because in my mind I'm like, how the fuck are we going to get out of this? 0.59

00:57:57.000 This isn't like something I can drive out of. 0.99

00:57:58.000 You can freeze to death out there.

00:57:59.000 Exactly.

00:58:01.000 And so we're sitting in there and I'm like, I don't know how we're going to get out of this.

00:58:05.000 And before I could finish the thought and process it, I looked to my right, and there's a big-ass tractor coming down the road.

00:58:13.000 And it was a guy who owned the farm who basically sat there and saw what happened.

00:58:17.000 Oh.

00:58:18.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:18.000 I thought he was sliding in here.

00:58:19.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:58:20.000 He was coming to help us, to pull us out.

00:58:22.000 So he comes over, and he's like, looks like y'all are in a bit of a pickle.

00:58:27.000 And I was like, yeah, something like that.

00:58:29.000 And he goes...

00:58:31.000 Ain't this fancy truck four-wheel drive?

00:58:35.000 And I was like...

00:58:36.000 Four-wheel drive with sport tires.

00:58:38.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:58:38.000 He was just giving me shit. 1.00

00:58:40.000 And so I was like, yeah. 1.00

00:58:42.000 And he just started laughing.

00:58:43.000 He's like, I'll have you out in five minutes.

00:58:44.000 So he hooked us up, pulled us out.

00:58:46.000 He's like, stay at the very top, ride that, and you'll be good.

00:58:49.000 So we did that.

00:58:50.000 But the thing is, ice was still there.

00:58:52.000 So that three-hour trip took us 10 hours.

00:58:55.000 Oh, my God.

00:58:56.000 I think we did 10 to 15 miles an hour the entire way.

00:59:02.000 Lucky he didn't run out of gas, too.

00:59:04.000 Exactly.

00:59:05.000 And the funny thing is, when we got back in the house, I dropped my coworker off at his place, and then as I was pulling up to my building, my brakes went out.

00:59:16.000 Just died?

00:59:17.000 Yeah.

00:59:18.000 Because I was riding them the entire way.

00:59:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:59:21.000 And so I guess they were just like, we're done.

00:59:23.000 When I tell you they couldn't have gone out at a more perfect time, I pulled into my building, got into my parking spot, and as I was trying to pull into the parking spot, they just went out.

00:59:33.000 Now, I had enough friction to get it to slow down because I was at a slower speed, but at that point, so basically I had to use the handbrake.

00:59:40.000 Wow.

00:59:40.000 Yeah.

00:59:42.000 Did you see this video a couple days ago?

00:59:44.000 Missouri?

00:59:44.000 No.

00:59:45.000 Fire truck on Icy Hill?

00:59:46.000 Oh, no.

00:59:47.000 Oh, I did see this, yeah. 1.00

00:59:49.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:59:53.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:59:53.000 Look at her smoking. 1.00

00:59:55.000 Oh my god.

00:59:56.000 It just smashed a car, though, luckily.

00:59:58.000 That hit a car?

00:59:59.000 It just hit this parked car, that blue car right there.

01:00:01.000 Oh, wow.

01:00:02.000 It didn't hit anything else.

01:00:03.000 It's a different angle.

01:00:05.000 They got lucky.

01:00:06.000 Yeah.

01:00:06.000 Very lucky.

01:00:08.000 Look at that thing spin.

01:00:09.000 Dude, and there's nothing you can do.

01:00:10.000 Nothing.

01:00:11.000 Nothing.

01:00:12.000 When I was a kid, I lived on a hill in Newton, Massachusetts, and me and my sister's boyfriend sat on the roof and watched people slide down our hill and crash.

01:00:24.000 We called the cops.

01:00:25.000 We said, hey man, you should probably close the street down.

01:00:27.000 Because there was like five cars in a row spun out, bounced off the curb, Went into ditches.

01:00:34.000 We're just watching people try to come down the hill and just slide completely out of control.

01:00:39.000 Dude, and you made a good point.

01:00:42.000 Like now, I feel like I'm, you know, with all the traveling I do, I've driven from Dallas to Utah to New Mexico.

01:00:49.000 I've driven in ice, I've driven in snow.

01:00:51.000 So I'm pretty comfortable with it now, even though I still don't really like it.

01:00:53.000 There's nothing you can do about ice, though.

01:00:55.000 There's nothing.

01:00:56.000 But there's also, what you pointed out, was other people.

01:00:58.000 Yeah.

01:00:59.000 So now that's what makes me nervous because I'm like, I remember when we had the freeze apocalypse or whatever in Dallas.

01:01:05.000 Yeah, I got in my truck and went out there and started kind of driving around because I kind of knew what I was doing.

01:01:10.000 But I was always constantly looking in my rearview mirror because there's going to be some dumbass who's going way too fast and doesn't realize that you can't stop at the same distance on ice patches and they're going to just ride into me.

01:01:23.000 And so I was like, this isn't fun anymore.

01:01:24.000 So I just went back and said, In Austin, they don't even have plows.

01:01:28.000 But that's crazy.

01:01:31.000 You should have a few.

01:01:33.000 It seems like it happens.

01:01:34.000 Look, let me tell you, that Texas arrogance, 99% of the time it's a great thing. 1.00

01:01:39.000 There's that other 1% where it's like, alright, stop being stupid. 1.00

01:01:43.000 I think it's a funding issue. 1.00

01:01:44.000 You think so?

01:01:45.000 Yeah, they think they can't justify buying millions of dollars worth of snow plows for the city when it snows once every three years.

01:01:52.000 But I mean, it's also a one-time purchase.

01:01:55.000 I mean, maintenance and keep-up can't be that expensive for a snowplow.

01:01:59.000 Well, I bet there were some conversations about it after the big freeze a couple years ago.

01:02:03.000 I have that Land Cruiser.

01:02:05.000 That thing was awesome during the snow.

01:02:07.000 I was loving it.

01:02:09.000 It's a 1995. What kind of tires do you have on it?

01:02:11.000 This is all-terrain.

01:02:12.000 All-terrain?

01:02:13.000 Okay.

01:02:13.000 So they're great.

01:02:14.000 You can drive over anything in those fuckers. 1.00

01:02:16.000 Yeah, I saw it when you pulled in. 1.00

01:02:18.000 I was like, yep, looks about right.

01:02:19.000 Yeah, that thing's hooked up.

01:02:21.000 That thing's hooked up.

01:02:22.000 That was the truck that I bought I had made when I was nervous about living in LA. I'm like, if something happens, like an earthquake, fire, flood, I want to be able to go over these hills.

01:02:32.000 I don't want to be stuck on these roads because there was a road in Northern California where there was a major fire and everyone on the road burned to death.

01:02:42.000 Because the fire storm swept through the road, and they were trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and they all got cooked.

01:02:50.000 No.

01:02:51.000 Yeah.

01:02:51.000 And that's another reason why I will always, always have a truck with that that has off-road capabilities.

01:02:57.000 Yeah.

01:02:58.000 Well, that's the TRX, right?

01:02:59.000 Yeah.

01:03:00.000 Even though some people would argue that...

01:03:02.000 It's not an off-road truck. 1.00

01:03:03.000 That motherfucker can go off-road. 0.99

01:03:05.000 I've driven it. 1.00

01:03:06.000 I've taken mine off-road. 0.99

01:03:07.000 I have the scratches on it, bitch, to prove it. 1.00

01:03:09.000 They can go off-road. 1.00

01:03:10.000 Those things are capable.

01:03:11.000 It is kind of amazing.

01:03:13.000 Like a Raptor, that is essentially a Baja racing truck for the street.

01:03:18.000 Pretty much.

01:03:18.000 They have amazing travel in terms of you can bounce on things.

01:03:22.000 You can go over giant bumps. 0.98

01:03:24.000 It's stupid, but it's the most giddy experience ever. 0.99

01:03:28.000 This is how you drive a TRX or a Raptor. 1.00

01:03:32.000 Wee! 0.99

01:03:33.000 That's how you drive them?

01:03:33.000 Yeah.

01:03:34.000 The whole time. 0.99

01:03:34.000 The TRX does come from the factory with some fucking janky-ass brakes, though. 0.99

01:03:39.000 Oh, no. 0.99

01:03:39.000 Oh, don't get me started on that shit. 0.99

01:03:42.000 They're not good. 1.00

01:03:42.000 That shit is a liability, bro. 1.00

01:03:44.000 Yeah, they're not good. 1.00

01:03:44.000 They're not good. 1.00

01:03:45.000 I changed them.

01:03:45.000 I put the Wilcox on there.

01:03:47.000 Was it Wilcox?

01:03:48.000 Yeah.

01:03:48.000 I put the whatever Hennessey puts on.

01:03:50.000 Ah, gotcha.

01:03:51.000 I forget what he uses.

01:03:52.000 And then now?

01:03:53.000 Yeah.

01:03:53.000 Brakes are phenomenal.

01:03:54.000 Yeah, mine too.

01:03:55.000 Phenomenal.

01:03:55.000 Big difference.

01:03:56.000 Yeah.

01:03:56.000 But not good.

01:03:57.000 No, the standard.

01:03:58.000 Anybody who keeps...

01:04:00.000 Anybody who has a TRX with the stock brakes on there, just understand, you're a rolling liability.

01:04:06.000 Well, you have to realize your stopping distance from 60 to zero is twice what a car is.

01:04:13.000 And I learned that the hard way.

01:04:14.000 I don't know if it's twice, but whatever it is, it's definitely not.

01:04:17.000 If you have a Tesla and you have to stop at 60, and then you have a TRX, you have to stop at 60, there's no way you're winning that competition.

01:04:24.000 It's not even close.

01:04:25.000 Not even close.

01:04:26.000 Many car lengths.

01:04:28.000 Exactly.

01:04:28.000 Many.

01:04:29.000 I had the car, I had the truck for like a week.

01:04:32.000 And I was in, I drove to Houston.

01:04:34.000 And I remember when I was in Houston, I forgot there's like this, I forgot the name of it, but there's a road where it's kind of, it's kind of windy.

01:04:42.000 Not like sports car windy, but just, you know, kind of does things and you can get some, get up to speed.

01:04:47.000 So I'm just, you know, driving T-Rex.

01:04:51.000 And then, like, they were like, out of nowhere, I come around the corner and there's like eight cars sitting at the light.

01:04:57.000 And I'm like, Fuck I never thought about how bad this thing is at stopping and I remember standing on the brakes and then you hear that And you're like, please stop, please stop, please stop, please stop.

01:05:10.000 And it did. 0.97

01:05:11.000 But after that, a week later, I got the brakes upgraded.

01:05:14.000 I did a big brake hit on it and called it.

01:05:16.000 Well, I noticed a giant difference.

01:05:18.000 Because I had a Hennessy Raptor before that.

01:05:20.000 The regular Raptor before the R was out, which was a great car.

01:05:23.000 And then with great brakes.

01:05:25.000 Hennessy upgraded the brakes too.

01:05:26.000 And then I went to the standard TRX after that. 1.00

01:05:29.000 I was like, oh my god, these brakes are dog shit. 1.00

01:05:31.000 Dog shit. 1.00

01:05:32.000 What is the stopping distance from 60 to 0 on a stock TRX? Because I know they have to give you the stats on that. 1.00

01:05:39.000 It's probably like barely what it should be and you'd be able to drive it.

01:05:43.000 130 feet?

01:05:45.000 130 feet.

01:05:47.000 So, okay.

01:05:48.000 Now, what is the stopping distance from 60 to 0 in a Corvette Stingray?

01:05:54.000 A 2023 Corvette Stingray.

01:05:56.000 Keep in mind, that's with no weight.

01:05:57.000 No weight. 0.95

01:05:58.000 Right, if you have a backfill with cement or whatever the fuck you're carrying back there, five people in the car. 0.81

01:06:03.000 Yeah. 0.82

01:06:06.000 130 feet.

01:06:07.000 It's crazy.

01:06:07.000 93 feet?

01:06:08.000 Jesus Christ.

01:06:09.000 That's the same for a Viper 9-11.

01:06:13.000 Think about that.

01:06:13.000 That's almost...

01:06:14.000 That's what you said, 160?

01:06:15.000 Yeah.

01:06:16.000 130 feet versus...

01:06:18.000 How much?

01:06:19.000 90 feet?

01:06:20.000 Yeah, pretty much.

01:06:20.000 93 feet.

01:06:21.000 That's a giant difference.

01:06:23.000 That's a giant difference. 0.98

01:06:25.000 They got to do something about those brakes, and they have to do something about the fucking onboard security system, because the way they're able to steal these trucks is insane. 0.98

01:06:33.000 Really? 0.99

01:06:33.000 What? 0.99

01:06:34.000 Yeah?

01:06:34.000 Dude, they still, they still, they still, it's not Raptors, they still, anything Mopar.

01:06:40.000 Anything Mopar, if you don't have a kill switch on it, if you don't have, oh man, if you don't have whatever the neutral thing is to stop them from being able to throw it in neutral, if you don't have a GPS on it or Apple AirTalk, your truck will be gone.

01:06:53.000 I have dudes in my building who bought it in TRX, went to dinner with their wives to come back out and their truck was gone.

01:07:00.000 You can look it up online.

01:07:02.000 They will steal these things in a second.

01:07:03.000 They're easy to steal. 1.00

01:07:04.000 They're easy as fuck to steal. 1.00

01:07:06.000 It's insane. 1.00

01:07:07.000 Really?

01:07:08.000 Interesting.

01:07:09.000 Major vulnerability to steal Dodge Ram trucks. 1.00

01:07:12.000 Fuck. 1.00

01:07:13.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:07:14.000 They have the repeaters.

01:07:15.000 They'll come outside your house and boost the signal.

01:07:18.000 Oh, that's crazy that they can do that.

01:07:21.000 So that's the thing they do with these wires.

01:07:22.000 Yep.

01:07:23.000 So they can find that you have a remote control inside, and then they mirror the remote control.

01:07:28.000 They boost the signal, and then you start your car.

01:07:31.000 Crazy.

01:07:31.000 Yep.

01:07:32.000 I mean, they steal them like that.

01:07:35.000 It's like clockwork.

01:07:36.000 Wow.

01:07:37.000 Yeah.

01:07:39.000 That's not good.

01:07:40.000 No, it's not.

01:07:40.000 Anything Mopar.

01:07:41.000 Hellcats, TRXs, Trackhawks.

01:07:44.000 So much electronics in cars.

01:07:46.000 Another thing that's freaking me out is that they're trying to put kill switches in all cars.

01:07:49.000 Yeah.

01:07:50.000 Where, you know, if you're driving and the government wants to stop you, they'll just stop your car.

01:07:54.000 Just like that.

01:07:55.000 Yeah.

01:07:55.000 I said, I like that.

01:07:56.000 I said, electrical shit. 1.00

01:07:57.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:58.000 It's so sketchy.

01:08:00.000 I'm not for it, man.

01:08:01.000 Look, it's great if someone's stealing your car, and you can call, you know, whatever it is, OnStar, and say, hey, someone stole my car, and they can shut your car off.

01:08:09.000 That's the thing about convenience.

01:08:10.000 Right.

01:08:11.000 It's a gift and a curse, and then you're giving up something to gain something when it comes to convenience.

01:08:15.000 So it's like, how inconvenient do you want to live in order to have absolute convenience?

01:08:20.000 Autonomy versus massive amounts of convenience, but now you're kind of at the mercy of the government, more or less, or whatever corporation is providing that convenience.

01:08:32.000 Do you remember that story?

01:08:34.000 There was a story about a journalist, and this journalist was writing a piece for Rolling Stone, and he went overseas, and he was embedded with a troop, and it was in Afghanistan, I believe, and while they were over there,

01:08:50.000 The volcano erupted in Iceland.

01:08:53.000 So because of that, there was no flights for like two weeks.

01:08:57.000 You couldn't fly out because they couldn't see.

01:08:59.000 So until that volcanic dust settles.

01:09:02.000 So they were stranded.

01:09:03.000 So this Michael Hastings, is that what his name is?

01:09:06.000 So this guy was around these people and they got a little comfortable with him. 1.00

01:09:10.000 And they started talking shit. 1.00

01:09:12.000 And then he printed everything they were saying and talking shit. 1.00

01:09:14.000 Including this general, this beloved general who's talking shit about Obama. 1.00

01:09:19.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:09:20.000 So, this guy comes back and he's getting mad death threats. 0.98

01:09:24.000 And he's fucking terrified for his life. 0.99

01:09:26.000 And he's saying, listen, if I fucking die, I did not kill myself. 0.99

01:09:31.000 There's threats on my life. 0.99

01:09:32.000 And his car was going down, was it La Brea?

01:09:36.000 There's a video of it.

01:09:38.000 He had a brand new Mercedes.

01:09:40.000 This car was going down La Brea at like 120 miles an hour, went straight into a tree and exploded.

01:09:47.000 And exploded in a crazy way, where the engine ejected from the vehicle, where they're like, this is indicative of like an explosion.

01:09:56.000 Like there's like rigged, like something was...

01:09:59.000 So basically something that forced the accelerator all the way down, had the car flying.

01:10:03.000 Exactly.

01:10:04.000 The conspiracy theory is that that's what happened.

01:10:07.000 You know, the problem is there's no way to know.

01:10:10.000 No.

01:10:10.000 And they also said that he tested positive for amphetamines.

01:10:14.000 Of course.

01:10:15.000 But the problem with that is...

01:10:17.000 Journalists all take amphetamines.

01:10:19.000 It is the dirty secret of journalists.

01:10:21.000 I have friends that are journalists and they said that Adderall use is ubiquitous.

01:10:25.000 I mean, that's how I was in law school.

01:10:26.000 I was apparently the only person in law school not on Adderall.

01:10:31.000 It's apparently amazing.

01:10:33.000 I have not tried it, but everybody who wants to be productive says Jesus Christ.

01:10:36.000 I know what coffee does to me. 0.98

01:10:39.000 And coffee is just a minor form of fucking Adderall, if you ask me. 0.98

01:10:43.000 It's the most minor. 0.99

01:10:43.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:10:44.000 And I know what that does to me.

01:10:45.000 Yeah.

01:10:45.000 So if I ever took Adderall, I'd become Superman.

01:10:49.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:10:50.000 And I would like that shit so much that I don't ever want to touch it. 1.00

01:10:54.000 My exact feelings. 0.99

01:10:55.000 I don't want to try it.

01:10:57.000 Yeah, because I know I have ADHD. My friend Duncan has a great bit about it.

01:11:00.000 I don't even know if that's real.

01:11:01.000 My friend Duncan has a great bit about it.

01:11:03.000 He goes, it's like a scientist did cocaine and went, I can fix this.

01:11:14.000 Okay, so you don't think ADHD, you don't know if ADHD is real?

01:11:17.000 I don't know.

01:11:17.000 I don't know either.

01:11:18.000 I haven't looked into it.

01:11:20.000 First of all, I think it's a superpower.

01:11:21.000 I think if you have it, it's a superpower.

01:11:23.000 And I think I most certainly have it.

01:11:24.000 If I have it, look, I have an ability to focus on things that's very unusual.

01:11:28.000 And it's obsessive focusing on things.

01:11:32.000 And I use it to my advantage.

01:11:34.000 It helps me get good at things.

01:11:37.000 For sure, it's helped me in my career.

01:11:40.000 For sure, it's helped me with martial arts.

01:11:41.000 For sure, it's helped me with everything I do.

01:11:43.000 I think you're right.

01:11:44.000 And I say that because I remember when I was in law school and I remember I had a professor, a professor, Professor Moore, I don't know if she actually wanted to say her name, but whatever.

01:11:53.000 Loved her.

01:11:53.000 Loved her to death.

01:11:54.000 And I remember she was talking to me about, you know, me possibly having ADHD or whatever.

01:11:58.000 And she was like, you don't think linearly.

01:12:03.000 Which makes you great at a lot of things, but then kind of hampers you.

01:12:08.000 Like, I am not a standardized test taker.

01:12:10.000 I'm not good at it.

01:12:11.000 Right, you're not good at things you don't want to do.

01:12:14.000 Bingo.

01:12:14.000 That's what it is.

01:12:15.000 If I'm not stimulated, I am miserable.

01:12:19.000 I don't want to look at it.

01:12:22.000 By the way, you align with most of my friends.

01:12:28.000 Maybe that's why we're friends. 0.98

01:12:29.000 I mean, I feel like most of my friends are kind of like fucking psycho about certain things that they love. 0.98

01:12:34.000 You start talking to me about cars. 0.99

01:12:36.000 You start talking to me about guns.

01:12:38.000 You start talking to me about the law.

01:12:40.000 Anything like that I actually have a passion, you can't stop me from being focused on it.

01:12:46.000 And you can rattle off information that's at your fingertips all the time because you store it.

01:12:50.000 It's in a file in your brain. 0.99

01:12:51.000 You just open that bitch up and it's there. 1.00

01:12:52.000 I always say I have a terrible memory, but I have great recall. 0.99

01:12:55.000 You know what I mean?

01:12:56.000 That's good.

01:12:57.000 I have a convenient memory.

01:12:58.000 Yeah.

01:12:59.000 My memory is really good.

01:13:01.000 Like, it's stunningly good when it's things that I'm interested in. 0.91

01:13:04.000 But if it's something that I don't give a fuck about, it's like, I throw that right out. 0.96

01:13:08.000 It comes in, goes out. 0.98

01:13:09.000 For me, it's names.

01:13:10.000 It's bad.

01:13:10.000 Oh, it's bad with names.

01:13:12.000 It's bad.

01:13:12.000 Well, the other thing is, you're a public person, so you meet a lot of people.

01:13:15.000 Okay, I'm glad you said that, because I had thought that, and I'm like, no, you're just making excuses for yourself.

01:13:20.000 No, that's real.

01:13:20.000 Because, like, I'm inundated with new names all the time.

01:13:24.000 Constantly.

01:13:24.000 And so I'm just kind of—and I'll forget names.

01:13:26.000 I'm like, why am I forgetting these people's names?

01:13:28.000 And it's almost like it's just overflow.

01:13:30.000 Like there's names that'll drop off, and then I'll be able to recall it, but then another name will drop off, and then it's like— Well, it's Dunbar's number.

01:13:37.000 Do you know what that is?

01:13:37.000 No.

01:13:38.000 Dunbar's number is this principle that's based on the idea that we came from tribal societies.

01:13:42.000 So all human beings came from groups of like 50 people, 150 people.

01:13:48.000 And the idea is that there's a circle of people that are close to you that you're very close to.

01:13:53.000 And that's whatever that number is, 5 to 10, whatever it is.

01:13:57.000 And then there's a circle of people that you really like, but you don't see as much, and that's like 20 or 30. And then it gets further and further out to like acquaintances and people you barely know.

01:14:07.000 So this is Dunbar's number.

01:14:08.000 So five very close friends.

01:14:11.000 So and then it gets to close friends it gets like 15 to 50 and then it gets to friends that you would invite them to a party that's 150 then it gets to acquaintances it's 500 people who you remember how you met and then it's 1500 people that you could put a name to a face now imagine How many people you meet compared to the average person that works in the same place and sees the same friend group and goes to the same church or whatever.

01:14:37.000 You're around the same group of people all the time.

01:14:39.000 You don't have to remember that many names.

01:14:41.000 You might meet, over the course of 10 years, there might be like 300 people that you interact with regularly.

01:14:48.000 That's most folks. 1.00

01:14:50.000 Shit! 1.00

01:14:50.000 I was just at SHOT Show. 1.00

01:14:51.000 Right, okay.

01:14:52.000 We're talking.

01:14:54.000 Hundreds and hundreds of people in the course of three days.

01:14:57.000 There's no way.

01:14:58.000 There's no way you can remember all those things.

01:15:00.000 And people get mad at you.

01:15:01.000 I know.

01:15:01.000 They get mad.

01:15:02.000 Especially women. 1.00

01:15:03.000 Yeah.

01:15:04.000 Well, people get mad if you don't remember their names.

01:15:07.000 They get mad if you don't remember that you met them.

01:15:08.000 It's like, I can't do it.

01:15:10.000 You don't understand.

01:15:10.000 I don't have...

01:15:10.000 My hard drive is full.

01:15:12.000 I can't.

01:15:12.000 There's no room in there.

01:15:13.000 It's nuts.

01:15:15.000 I mean, I... Hell, even remembering to send messages that I was supposed to respond to sometimes.

01:15:19.000 Oh, yeah.

01:15:20.000 No, it's impossible.

01:15:21.000 Like, look at my phone.

01:15:22.000 Like, when you see, like, how many messages that I haven't answered.

01:15:25.000 Let's compare, because I always do this.

01:15:26.000 How many you got?

01:15:26.000 I usually win this battle.

01:15:28.000 So right now, text messages, I have 1,152 unopened text messages.

01:15:35.000 I have 175. 175. Damn.

01:15:40.000 I got you. 1.00

01:15:42.000 Now, here's where it gets insane.

01:15:44.000 Okay.

01:15:44.000 My emails.

01:15:45.000 Okay.

01:15:47.000 440,124.

01:15:49.000 Whoa.

01:15:50.000 I think you got me there.

01:15:52.000 That's crazy.

01:15:53.000 Now, in all fairness, I have like five different emails attached to that.

01:15:57.000 I have...

01:15:59.000 Oh, wait a minute.

01:16:00.000 I might have you.

01:16:01.000 Maintenance there.

01:16:03.000 I have 168,485.

01:16:09.000 Okay, yeah.

01:16:11.000 See, I've surpassed you.

01:16:13.000 Yeah, you got me.

01:16:14.000 You got me beat on that.

01:16:15.000 But I also have five email addresses.

01:16:18.000 I have one, two, three, four.

01:16:20.000 I have four attached to this, yeah.

01:16:23.000 It's crazy, man.

01:16:25.000 Yeah.

01:16:26.000 It's pretty bad.

01:16:27.000 It's pretty bad.

01:16:28.000 Very bad.

01:16:29.000 But it's also, it's like the nature of being a public person.

01:16:33.000 And I also have four phone numbers.

01:16:36.000 So it's like...

01:16:36.000 So you have to.

01:16:37.000 Yeah, and I have to change mine now.

01:16:39.000 It's like I've started getting text messages from people I don't know.

01:16:43.000 I'm this close to being at the point where you are where I'm like, too many people have my number.

01:16:48.000 Exactly.

01:16:48.000 And so I'm like, I've had this number for ages.

01:16:53.000 And I'm like...

01:16:54.000 Yeah, it's kind of a gross conversation for other people.

01:16:56.000 Like, what's your problem?

01:16:57.000 What's the big deal?

01:16:58.000 But it's unmanageable.

01:17:00.000 You have to understand it's unmanageable.

01:17:02.000 And when you're a person like you or I, people are always looking for something from you.

01:17:06.000 Like, all day long.

01:17:08.000 It's, can you do this?

01:17:09.000 Will you come to that?

01:17:10.000 And I have a very hard time saying no.

01:17:12.000 I've started mastering it.

01:17:24.000 Yeah.

01:17:31.000 Yeah.

01:17:32.000 It's the pros and cons of connectivity.

01:17:34.000 I think ultimately, like we were saying before, it's the best time to be alive.

01:17:37.000 The benefits way outweigh the negatives.

01:17:40.000 But there's a lot of weirdness to it.

01:17:41.000 One of the things that we were talking about at lunch today was that there's this statistic now where they did this survey of these women, and they found that 50% of married women have a backup boyfriend.

01:17:55.000 Meaning, if this... 1.00

01:17:56.000 Fucking husband falls apart. 1.00

01:17:58.000 If he talks too much shit, if she gets tired of his bullshit, she has another guy that she's been in contact with that she can kind of get a hold of and that guy could be the new boyfriend. 1.00

01:18:08.000 Yeah, I've been to back up. 1.00

01:18:10.000 I'm sure you have. 0.99

01:18:12.000 And then they realize that's a terrible fucking idea. 0.98

01:18:14.000 But it's like 70% of women in relationships have this. 1.00

01:18:17.000 Yeah.

01:18:18.000 7-0.

01:18:19.000 When I read the article, I'm like, oh, y'all just found this out.

01:18:22.000 I swear to God.

01:18:23.000 I promise you.

01:18:23.000 I've always known that.

01:18:25.000 Especially women on social media who take thirst trap pictures. 1.00

01:18:29.000 Like, my God.

01:18:31.000 It's a beautiful way.

01:18:32.000 The social media has provided a beautiful avenue to...

01:18:39.000 Have a roster.

01:18:40.000 So it's like they have a bench, they have a starting five, and then they have a bench, right?

01:18:46.000 Exactly.

01:18:46.000 You had number one draft pick.

01:18:48.000 He's the guy who texts you every now and then.

01:18:50.000 How you doing?

01:18:50.000 But they all serve a different role.

01:18:52.000 You looking good.

01:18:52.000 They're all serving a different role.

01:18:54.000 There's a...

01:18:55.000 He's nice.

01:18:56.000 He listens to me wax poetic about nothing guy.

01:18:58.000 He'll go out on a date with me even though I have no romantic interest in him.

01:19:02.000 He'll take me out if me and the husband are in a fight.

01:19:04.000 This guy makes me look really good so I'll kind of bring him out. 0.94

01:19:07.000 This guy has really good sex so I'll call him over in the middle of the night after I finish with the guy who takes me out. 0.99

01:19:12.000 Dad! 0.98

01:19:14.000 50% of married women have a backup lover. 0.79

01:19:17.000 Ooh.

01:19:17.000 So when I Google this thing, like 50% have a backup, this article pops up as a story every two or three years.

01:19:26.000 Well, probably true.

01:19:27.000 No, but I mean, maybe it doesn't have anything to do with social media or anything.

01:19:30.000 Well, 2014, people still have social media.

01:19:33.000 I know, but that's just...

01:19:34.000 This is just the first page of searching.

01:19:36.000 If I go back and check like 2009, would it say that?

01:19:38.000 I would pick Cosmopolitan articles from 2000. I think it's, but you got to remember too, you got to remember women are social creatures. 1.00

01:19:44.000 So that's usually probably based on a survey.

01:19:46.000 Right.

01:19:47.000 Generally speaking, I think it's a lot higher.

01:19:50.000 Well, probably a lot higher now.

01:19:53.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:19:53.000 They wouldn't admit it.

01:19:54.000 But probably a lot higher now because of social media, because of direct messaging.

01:19:58.000 I agree.

01:19:59.000 There's so much of that going around.

01:20:01.000 I tell my friends this all the time.

01:20:03.000 Some of them are married.

01:20:05.000 I'm still out here.

01:20:07.000 And back in the day, you could only touch who you could actually touch.

01:20:13.000 Right.

01:20:13.000 Now...

01:20:15.000 The games change.

01:20:16.000 You can touch anyone.

01:20:18.000 If a girl's like, oh my god, and she lives in central Kansas, and she loves Michael B. Jordan, slide in the DMs. 0.90

01:20:27.000 He may read it, he may not.

01:20:29.000 And if he goes to her page, and she's like, woo!

01:20:33.000 Let's go.

01:20:33.000 Hello, Sarah in Central Kansas.

01:20:35.000 How's it going?

01:20:35.000 What's up?

01:20:36.000 You get what I'm saying?

01:20:37.000 So it's taking the game to a whole new level where it's like you, everybody, and it goes both ways, too.

01:20:44.000 Sure.

01:20:44.000 The only difference is...

01:20:47.000 A guy reaching out to say some super famous actress is...

01:20:52.000 Good luck.

01:20:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:20:54.000 Because there's like 900 of you doing the same thing.

01:20:56.000 Yeah, not only that, it's like women don't want that. 1.00

01:20:59.000 If a woman's a super famous actress, she don't want some random carpenter sliding into her DMs. 1.00

01:21:05.000 Shit. 1.00

01:21:06.000 I disagree 100,000%. 1.00

01:21:07.000 Yeah, she likes the attention.

01:21:09.000 Okay, but she's not thinking of that as a guy that she's going to bang if she happens to be in Kansas.

01:21:14.000 Yeah, no, no.

01:21:15.000 Not at all.

01:21:15.000 You don't stand a chance in hell.

01:21:16.000 But, you know, to pick up her phone, it's like, another one.

01:21:21.000 That they like.

01:21:22.000 To get that dopamine spike and then it's on to the next show.

01:21:24.000 Yeah.

01:21:25.000 It's wild.

01:21:26.000 I mean, look, I'm complaining, but I like to look at it.

01:21:29.000 You know, like if women put thirst traps on their Instagram, like, ooh, look at that. 0.99

01:21:33.000 I like to look at it.

01:21:34.000 So I'm not complaining in the sense, I don't want you to stop doing it.

01:21:37.000 I want you to do whatever you want to do.

01:21:38.000 But I think psychologically, the temptation and also just knowing that you have that many suitors that are waiting in the wings, it makes arguments very different.

01:21:48.000 Yeah.

01:21:48.000 One thing I love is I'm never going to apologize for being a man.

01:21:51.000 Ever.

01:21:52.000 At the same time, I can't...

01:21:54.000 I mean, if they have the access and the ability to do it...

01:21:58.000 It is what it is.

01:21:59.000 Yeah, and also like a woman's window of opportunity is smaller than a man's. 1.00

01:22:03.000 I'd say that much.

01:22:05.000 It just is, unfortunately.

01:22:06.000 For whatever reason, it's not fair.

01:22:08.000 If a woman has between the ages of like, you know, whatever age of age, you know, where they're legal till they're, you know, if they're really hot and they work out a lot, late 40s. 1.00

01:22:21.000 That's pushing it.

01:22:22.000 Yeah, but it gets...

01:22:23.000 And when women are single in their late 40s, guys are like, why is she single when she's in her late 40s?

01:22:28.000 Well, I think life is kind of cruel in a way that they created an inverse peak for men and women. 0.99

01:22:35.000 Right.

01:22:35.000 Right?

01:22:35.000 So when we were younger, Nobody want us.

01:22:39.000 Right.

01:22:39.000 Nobody want us.

01:22:40.000 You broke?

01:22:41.000 Yeah.

01:22:41.000 Broke dudes, you're in college, you got your little dorm room.

01:22:44.000 Right.

01:22:45.000 Because when I was in college, all the girls were dating all the dudes, they were dating the drug dealers, the ballplayers. 0.87

01:22:50.000 I didn't judge them.

01:22:50.000 I always told my friends, I was like, dudes, you're boring.

01:22:53.000 Right.

01:22:53.000 Like, I'm boring.

01:22:55.000 You have no resources.

01:22:55.000 I wake up, I go to class, and I come back home to my dorm room.

01:23:00.000 Yeah.

01:23:00.000 Where you have a whole guy here who has his own apartment, own house, own car, can fly you out, do all this stuff.

01:23:06.000 Go on trips.

01:23:07.000 Exactly.

01:23:08.000 Yeah.

01:23:08.000 The problem is, at a certain point it flips.

01:23:12.000 The best time of my life started at 30. Right?

01:23:16.000 Right. 1.00

01:23:16.000 30, you can't tell me shit. 1.00

01:23:20.000 You can't tell me shit. 1.00

01:23:22.000 Right. 1.00

01:23:23.000 Whereas when a woman starts hitting 30, now she's had her fun, right? 1.00

01:23:28.000 She's on boats. 0.94

01:23:30.000 She's doing all that stuff. 0.79

01:23:31.000 She's having a great time.

01:23:32.000 Yeah.

01:23:32.000 Have at it.

01:23:33.000 Yeah.

01:23:34.000 The problem is that switch flips, and now she's looking for something more serious, more stable. 0.78

01:23:39.000 Unfortunately, when you're 30, and I'm 30, and I'm like, you can't tell me shit, and she's 30, she's like, I'm ready to be in something serious.

01:23:49.000 The lines start crossing in ways that aren't conducive to... 0.86

01:23:52.000 Right.

01:23:53.000 You get what I'm saying?

01:23:53.000 So it's like that's when you start kind of having these age gap relationships where you start having individuals.

01:23:57.000 You start getting guys who are 30 or 40 dating 24, 23-year-olds.

01:24:01.000 Right.

01:24:02.000 Because it's like, well, I finally got to a point where I'm making money.

01:24:06.000 I have the resources to do what I want and have fun.

01:24:09.000 So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to start enjoying that life that I wanted when I was younger.

01:24:13.000 Right.

01:24:13.000 And so a lot of times they'll date women who aren't looking for serious boyfriends.

01:24:18.000 Exactly.

01:24:18.000 Because they're looking to have fun as well.

01:24:19.000 Exactly.

01:24:20.000 So they're not putting pressure on you to have a family and settle down.

01:24:23.000 So that's taking those guys essentially off the market for the women who are now at a point where they're like, okay, I want something more... 1.00

01:24:28.000 Yeah.

01:24:29.000 I want something more steady, right?

01:24:31.000 And so, like I said, life is cruel.

01:24:33.000 Life is just kind of cruel like that.

01:24:34.000 Yeah.

01:24:35.000 So it creates this dynamic where it's like, now they're looking at like, where are all the guys?

01:24:39.000 Yeah.

01:24:39.000 That are my age because they're not looking to date younger guys and they're not looking to date super old guys either, whatever the hell that means.

01:24:46.000 Jordan Peterson talks about this too.

01:24:48.000 There's also this disproportionate thing that happens where men who have resources and who are attractive...

01:24:57.000 It's such a small percentage of the population.

01:25:01.000 And those men have access to a much larger percentage of women.

01:25:06.000 So the amount of men today that don't have girlfriends and haven't had sex in a long time, it's staggering.

01:25:13.000 You can call them incels, you can call them whatever you want, but unfortunate gentlemen is what I like to call them.

01:25:18.000 And that is not good for society.

01:25:20.000 Not good.

01:25:21.000 I mean, that's what's happening in China.

01:25:22.000 Yeah.

01:25:23.000 Right?

01:25:23.000 China had that one child policy, which was disastrous.

01:25:27.000 You know, like when someone was saying, all these Chinese men of military age are entering into this country.

01:25:31.000 I'm like, okay, maybe they're a terror cell.

01:25:35.000 That's the worst case scenario. 1.00

01:25:36.000 Or maybe they're guys who are in China who are fucked. 1.00

01:25:39.000 There's no girls there. 1.00

01:25:40.000 So like, if you want to, and also you're trapped in a communist society.

01:25:44.000 Yeah.

01:25:44.000 You're trapped in a dictatorship.

01:25:46.000 Here's the irony behind that.

01:25:47.000 There's also a segment of men in America who are like, I want to go abroad and find a woman.

01:25:53.000 Right.

01:25:54.000 Find a woman with lower standards. 1.00

01:25:56.000 It's the weirdest thing.

01:25:58.000 Well, I mean, lower standards are different environments. 0.98

01:26:00.000 Well, lower standards, because I've been paying attention to these guys who go down to, like, Columbia, and these, like, ugly dudes who go down to Columbia and get these bomb-ass Colombian chicks. 1.00

01:26:08.000 Now, you've got to make the distinction. 0.98

01:26:09.000 There's a distinction there.

01:26:10.000 There are some who kind of go in there.

01:26:11.000 They're really honestly going there to have fun.

01:26:13.000 Right.

01:26:14.000 Right.

01:26:14.000 And then there are some who are honestly kind of looking for...

01:26:18.000 Something more traditional, because these places tend to have more of a traditional structure.

01:26:22.000 Right.

01:26:23.000 So, like, I think you kind of have to split that dynamic a little bit.

01:26:26.000 Yeah, there's a lot of variables there.

01:26:28.000 Yeah.

01:26:28.000 But at the same time, like you said, then there's guys from other countries, foreign countries, wanting to come to America to get women.

01:26:33.000 Yeah.

01:26:34.000 So it's so weird how you kind of have this, like, crossing of the seas in order to get the same thing in different places.

01:26:42.000 Yeah.

01:26:42.000 Right?

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:43.000 But I don't know.

01:26:44.000 I'm...

01:26:50.000 My mom's hitting me up for grandbabies every other day. 0.93

01:26:52.000 So I'm the last person to be talking to about this.

01:26:54.000 Are you ever gonna do it?

01:26:56.000 I mean, if it happens, it happens.

01:26:58.000 So it's like you just have to find the right combination of woman, circumstance.

01:27:02.000 Yeah, I mean, the thing is I'm obsessed with my freedom.

01:27:05.000 Right?

01:27:06.000 And it's to a fault.

01:27:07.000 And I'm not against it.

01:27:10.000 But it's also served you well.

01:27:12.000 It has.

01:27:13.000 It has.

01:27:14.000 And I guard it viciously.

01:27:16.000 Right.

01:27:16.000 Because we've all seen men that got trapped.

01:27:20.000 Hence my conversation about my friend earlier that has to pay child support.

01:27:23.000 Exactly.

01:27:26.000 And I usually don't even talk about this because largely when you do speak about it publicly, nobody ever tries to see that from your perspective.

01:27:34.000 Right.

01:27:35.000 Right?

01:27:35.000 It's just like, what are you doing?

01:27:37.000 You're a woman hater. 1.00

01:27:37.000 Yes, exactly. 1.00

01:27:38.000 You're a player.

01:27:39.000 Misogyny, right?

01:27:40.000 Misogyny.

01:27:40.000 Yeah.

01:27:41.000 You're a misan... 1.00

01:27:42.000 Yeah. 0.97

01:27:43.000 But, which is fine.

01:27:46.000 I've kind of built up walls that don't really...

01:27:48.000 That doesn't really bother me.

01:27:50.000 You can't really shame me that way.

01:27:51.000 Largely because what I'm doing is I'm protecting my peace.

01:27:54.000 Yeah, and also you've seen the other side of it.

01:27:56.000 It's not like you don't know what the negative consequences are.

01:27:59.000 I've definitely seen the other side of it.

01:28:00.000 We've all seen horrific relationships.

01:28:02.000 Yeah.

01:28:03.000 Men are emasculated, controlling.

01:28:08.000 And there's another thing that happens in those controlling relationships that I was watching this conversation.

01:28:11.000 This woman who was a psychologist was having with this other podcaster. 0.98

01:28:15.000 I forget who it was.

01:28:16.000 But she was saying that essentially one of the problems that happens with women is that they have this desire to control their environment and control men. 0.99

01:28:23.000 But then as soon as they control men, they stop being attracted to that man.

01:28:29.000 I never listen to what women say. 1.00

01:28:31.000 In terms of what they want.

01:28:32.000 Really?

01:28:33.000 No.

01:28:33.000 You just always assume there's some...

01:28:35.000 No, I just watch the actions.

01:28:36.000 Because actions are there.

01:28:37.000 Because you've got to remember, women live in a very socialized... 0.99

01:28:43.000 Right?

01:28:44.000 Like, when you think lone wolf, you don't think lone woman.

01:28:47.000 You think lone man.

01:28:49.000 So, their condition, and I'm speaking general, like there's always exceptions, right?

01:28:55.000 But generally speaking, they're social creatures.

01:28:57.000 So, they're going to say what they're supposed to say.

01:29:01.000 Right?

01:29:02.000 Because otherwise they're going to be judged.

01:29:04.000 Right?

01:29:04.000 Because if a woman, you ask a woman, what does she want?

01:29:06.000 She's like, oh, I want a nice guy who's stable, who's sweet, and so forth and so on.

01:29:11.000 Because if she says, no, I want the bad boy rocker who does, you know, whatever.

01:29:16.000 People are going to judge her for that desire. 0.97

01:29:19.000 But then again, at the same time, she still actually may want both.

01:29:23.000 Right.

01:29:24.000 Right.

01:29:24.000 And in many ways think she can have both.

01:29:27.000 Because remember that roster?

01:29:28.000 Yeah.

01:29:28.000 With all the different guys.

01:29:29.000 That's her different purposes. 1.00

01:29:31.000 The backup man.

01:29:31.000 Yeah.

01:29:32.000 So, you know, there's that aspect to it that I think...

01:29:35.000 I understand it.

01:29:37.000 I do.

01:29:39.000 But I don't make decisions off of what...

01:29:42.000 I won't make decisions off of it.

01:29:43.000 Because I understand what somebody does versus what they say can be two totally different things.

01:29:48.000 Yeah.

01:29:48.000 Well, that's a lawyer in you, too.

01:29:50.000 Very much so.

01:29:50.000 Yeah.

01:29:51.000 But there's also, there's another problem.

01:29:54.000 And the other problem is media depictions of relationships.

01:29:57.000 And that these media depictions of relationships are not based on actual relationships.

01:30:03.000 They're based on playing to these desires that people have for this perfect thing.

01:30:09.000 Yeah.

01:30:09.000 And I think it creates an unattainable standard.

01:30:14.000 Because...

01:30:15.000 What I've learned from my friends that I know who are married and are in good marriages, from what I can gauge, it's just hard.

01:30:24.000 It's not always fun.

01:30:25.000 It isn't.

01:30:26.000 And I think a lot of people look at relations, and even just relationships in general, it's not an easy thing to do.

01:30:32.000 You're talking about two different people.

01:30:34.000 You're talking about people who are totally different.

01:30:36.000 They may come together in some commonality, which is why they're attracted to each other.

01:30:40.000 But you're still talking about two different personalities who have to come together and live with each other.

01:30:44.000 And so that's not an easy thing to do.

01:30:46.000 And it's also why people are attracted to each other.

01:30:49.000 They're not attracted generally to the same type of personality.

01:30:51.000 Which is true.

01:30:52.000 Which is absolutely true.

01:30:54.000 I think those media depictions of reality, they fuck us up in so many ways because people look to movies and songs and they look to that as their model of what life should be, including other aspects of your life outside of relationships like retirement.

01:31:08.000 People have this idea, like one day I'm going to retire and I'm going to have a great...

01:31:13.000 No, you're going to die earlier. 1.00

01:31:15.000 You're going to be disinterested and unengaged and you're not going to be stimulated and you're going to fucking die. 0.99

01:31:20.000 That's funny you said that because I'll be honest with you, I had that like... 0.99

01:31:24.000 Sometimes, like 99%, all I do is work.

01:31:27.000 You know that about me.

01:31:28.000 You know I'm always working.

01:31:29.000 Yeah.

01:31:29.000 Which is why I think I'm also so passionate about the things that have nothing to do with me.

01:31:31.000 And also why you're so passionate about freedom.

01:31:33.000 Exactly.

01:31:33.000 Because you don't want anybody to get in the way of that.

01:31:34.000 Exactly.

01:31:35.000 Yeah.

01:31:41.000 That I thought I would reach a point where I could just do nothing.

01:31:45.000 And I would do nothing.

01:31:46.000 And I would just enjoy the rest of my life doing nothing.

01:31:50.000 Right?

01:31:52.000 The more I talk to people who are further along in their life than me, further along in their career than I, people who have retired, they all say the same thing and it echoes the sentiment that you just said.

01:32:01.000 The last thing you want to do is do nothing.

01:32:03.000 Yeah.

01:32:04.000 Because you will die early.

01:32:06.000 Yeah, you don't want to sit on the porch.

01:32:07.000 Yeah.

01:32:08.000 I might want to sit on the porch for a few hours.

01:32:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:12.000 Yeah, it's nice.

01:32:12.000 It's nice to relax.

01:32:13.000 I like watching TV occasionally.

01:32:15.000 Yeah.

01:32:16.000 Sit down, and when I know that I've done a lot, and I just chill. 1.00

01:32:19.000 And watch some stupid shit on TV. Great. 1.00

01:32:22.000 I like it.

01:32:23.000 I've figured out a way to enjoy that.

01:32:25.000 But the idea of doing nothing, I may get to a certain point where I don't work anymore.

01:32:30.000 Yes.

01:32:30.000 But I will always be doing stuff.

01:32:32.000 I'll always be bow hunting.

01:32:34.000 I'll always be working out.

01:32:35.000 I'll always be playing pool.

01:32:36.000 I'll always be following hobbies.

01:32:38.000 I'll always be doing things that I'm interested in.

01:32:40.000 But what I'm lucky about, and I think what you're lucky about as well, is that the things that we're interested in are also the things we do for a living.

01:32:49.000 And that's why I feel so blessed.

01:32:50.000 Oh, we're so lucky.

01:32:51.000 We're so lucky.

01:32:52.000 There's so many people out there.

01:32:54.000 It's that Thoreau quote, that most men live lives of quiet desperation.

01:32:58.000 And when you're doing what you actually enjoy doing, you are so much better off than someone who's insanely wealthy, who's miserable, because they don't like what they're doing and they're just making money.

01:33:09.000 I like working.

01:33:10.000 Like I said, before investments that I've made that have done really well, I like working.

01:33:14.000 For each and every dollar.

01:33:16.000 You like creating good content.

01:33:19.000 I genuinely love it.

01:33:21.000 And it sucks sometimes, I'll be honest.

01:33:24.000 Sure, it's difficult. 0.92

01:33:26.000 Very.

01:33:27.000 The pressure you put on yourself, it can be maddening.

01:33:30.000 But it's also rewarding.

01:33:31.000 Exactly.

01:33:32.000 Yeah, I mean that's part of the journey of what makes things interesting and intriguing.

01:33:37.000 And I think the way human beings evolved, we evolved trying to solve complex puzzles.

01:33:43.000 And initially it was, how do I get food?

01:33:45.000 How do I protect my village?

01:33:47.000 How do I protect my family? 1.00

01:33:50.000 How do I avoid plague and fucking predators and all these? 0.99

01:33:54.000 So people had to solve complex problems. 0.99

01:33:57.000 So it's a natural human reward system that's built into the organism in order for this organism to survive. 0.99

01:34:02.000 So this idea of like complete sedentary lifestyle providing you any enjoyment is just fucking nonsense. 0.98

01:34:09.000 It really is. 0.98

01:34:10.000 And the funny thing is, I want to say about...

01:34:13.000 A couple months ago, I was flirting with burnout every other day, like straight up.

01:34:19.000 And then I realized the reason I'm flirting with burnout is because the way I'm approaching it.

01:34:25.000 I'm approaching it like, I want to finish this so I can get to nothing.

01:34:29.000 Instead of, I enjoy doing this.

01:34:32.000 This isn't, it's work, but this is what I'm doing.

01:34:37.000 Right?

01:34:38.000 And I don't want to say, no, I did.

01:34:41.000 That feeling, that kind of, I don't want to call it transient, but that feeling of burnout or almost flirting with burnout every other day essentially kind of went away.

01:34:53.000 Because I just threw myself into what I was doing instead of looking at it as something I got to get done so I can get to nothing.

01:34:59.000 Because what was happening was I would do something, finish it, and then there's something else.

01:35:02.000 And then there's something else.

01:35:03.000 And I'm like, God, I just want to take a break.

01:35:05.000 I just want to be able to take a break and just do nothing for like a month.

01:35:09.000 But do I really?

01:35:11.000 No.

01:35:11.000 Because within three days, if that, I'm going to be like, what can I create?

01:35:16.000 Well, I enjoy vacations now, but I enjoy it as a time that I can spend with my family and we can hang out together and I can have 24-7 time with my kids.

01:35:26.000 Because when my kids are in school, they're in school all day, they have friends, they have sports they do, they have activities, it's hard to spend a lot of quality time.

01:35:34.000 When we go on vacation, if we go on vacation for a week, that's one week of just hanging out and I try to get as many laughs in, as many fun things to do.

01:35:43.000 But it's sort of activity driven.

01:35:47.000 We enjoy time together.

01:35:49.000 We do stuff.

01:35:49.000 The idea of just like...

01:35:51.000 Jordan Peterson talks about this as well.

01:35:53.000 He talks about this imaginary thing that people have.

01:35:57.000 One day you're going to be on the beach drinking margaritas, like staring at the sunrise.

01:36:03.000 You know what's funny about that?

01:36:04.000 Yeah.

01:36:04.000 When I have that fantasy in my brain, you want to know what I'm doing?

01:36:08.000 What?

01:36:08.000 I'm sitting on the beach drinking a margarita and have my computer and I'm working on a script.

01:36:16.000 Yeah.

01:36:17.000 That to me is my fantasy.

01:36:19.000 Right.

01:36:19.000 It's like, yeah, I want to be able to do what I want, but I just end up doing what I'm doing.

01:36:27.000 What you enjoy.

01:36:27.000 Yeah.

01:36:28.000 But, you know, a day or two of that is fine.

01:36:31.000 Yes.

01:36:31.000 A little bit of that is fine.

01:36:33.000 Yeah, I'll spend a day and I'll binge watch a show for like a day or two.

01:36:36.000 And then you start feeling guilty.

01:36:37.000 Yes.

01:36:38.000 Yeah, well that's a sign of someone who loves what they do.

01:36:40.000 So it's like it's not like a like what you're doing is something you actually enjoy.

01:36:46.000 So getting away from it is not enjoyable.

01:36:49.000 That's the key to a happy life is surround yourself with people that are very fun to be around that you love that you enjoy you like seeing them succeed you love spending time with them you all have fun together and then Generally,

01:37:05.000 it's birds of a feather.

01:37:07.000 So, like, my friends all, like, to a person, they all love what they do.

01:37:12.000 Yeah.

01:37:13.000 To a person.

01:37:14.000 The people that I enjoy being around.

01:37:16.000 And that's, to me, when they do well and they're happy and they can tell me about this thing that they're doing and how excited they are, it makes me excited.

01:37:24.000 And I want to do more stuff.

01:37:25.000 Yeah.

01:37:25.000 Like, people's passion for things is very infectious.

01:37:28.000 Very infectious.

01:37:29.000 Very infectious, man.

01:37:29.000 I love watching dudes make tables.

01:37:32.000 I've been...

01:37:33.000 The last few days I've been on this YouTube rabbit hole watching dudes make tables.

01:37:39.000 I have zero desire to make a table. 0.86

01:37:41.000 But I was watching these dudes make this fucking dope desk for this guy and it was like resin and wood and they put it all together and had this cool design to it. 0.96

01:37:53.000 Man, that's badass. 0.89

01:37:54.000 And the passion that these guys had for making sure that all the joints fit perfectly together, sanding them down, it's all precise, and they're taking you through the process as a narrator, talking about how time-consuming this is, but this is the way to do it, because then the end result is so worth it. 0.96

01:38:11.000 And then they're standing there when they deliver this desk, I'm like, damn, that's pretty dope. 0.95

01:38:14.000 No, it's freaking awesome. 0.88

01:38:16.000 You know, the funny thing is, I've started realizing I might be into decor more than I'm willing to admit to myself.

01:38:22.000 Really?

01:38:23.000 Yeah.

01:38:23.000 Not so much like I want to style houses or stuff like that, but I think that's why I like hotels so much.

01:38:30.000 I'm a hotel snob.

01:38:31.000 Right.

01:38:32.000 Like a dope hotel where you go in there and you feel good.

01:38:35.000 Nothing makes me happy, man.

01:38:37.000 Especially when you're traveling. 0.97

01:38:38.000 Because the process of traveling sucks.

01:38:40.000 Traveling is fun. 0.99

01:38:41.000 The process sucks. 1.00

01:38:42.000 Mainly just the airport shit. 1.00

01:38:44.000 But I love... 0.99

01:38:47.000 Even when I come here, when I come to Austin, I look forward to coming to Austin because I have hotels I really enjoy out here.

01:38:53.000 I stay at the Proper, I stay at the Thompson.

01:38:55.000 I love those hotels.

01:38:57.000 Those are dope hotels.

01:38:58.000 And it does wonders for even just revitalizing you and just kind of pulling out in.

01:39:02.000 Because where I live now, I love where I live.

01:39:05.000 I love it, but there's just something different about being in a hotel.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, a stylish bar, a beautiful restaurant that you go to that's in the hotel.

01:39:12.000 I travel so much and spend so much time at hotel bars, I almost wanted to start a blog where I just talk about my experiences at hotel bars.

01:39:18.000 It's not a bad idea.

01:39:19.000 A lot of people love them.

01:39:20.000 And then a cool lobby.

01:39:22.000 It makes you excited about being there.

01:39:23.000 It feels good.

01:39:24.000 Yeah, it's a cool environment.

01:39:27.000 Someone that's got a really cool environment in their home that's conducive to creativity is Rick Rubin.

01:39:34.000 I was watching this tour. 0.98

01:39:36.000 Rick Rubin's a friend of mine, and he's a fucking brilliant dude. 0.96

01:39:39.000 I mean, just legendary producer, right? 0.97

01:39:41.000 I'm familiar with him.

01:39:42.000 He wrote this book on creativity.

01:39:44.000 It's really good.

01:39:45.000 It's really fascinating, but about what he does to foster creativity.

01:39:49.000 And a lot of it is also environment.

01:39:54.000 There's like a tour of Rick Rubin's Malibu home and studio.

01:39:59.000 So he's got this house, and when you see his house, the way...

01:40:04.000 Is this it?

01:40:06.000 Yeah.

01:40:06.000 Yeah, so...

01:40:07.000 He might have another house, but this is his most famous house.

01:40:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:40:11.000 So the way he has everything set up in his house...

01:40:15.000 I don't know if this is what I saw.

01:40:17.000 This is also like 10 years old.

01:40:18.000 I don't know if...

01:40:19.000 Yeah, I think he's got a new one now.

01:40:21.000 Yeah, this is a long time ago.

01:40:23.000 Rick's kind of a wild man.

01:40:25.000 But he sets things up so that they make him feel a certain way when he goes into rooms.

01:40:32.000 Remember how I told you I'm a city rat and I just love being in a city?

01:40:35.000 Yeah.

01:40:35.000 So I initially had more of kind of a traditional style house prior to that I lived in the high rise.

01:40:44.000 Maybe this room?

01:40:46.000 See, this is where the decor in me starts coming out of.

01:40:50.000 I'm an appreciator of good decor, I guess is the best way to put it.

01:40:54.000 Yeah, I mean, the way you set up your environment, the things that excite you, when you're walking around, the things you see.

01:41:02.000 And that's the thing, aesthetics inspires me.

01:41:06.000 They do beautiful things that inspire me.

01:41:08.000 Art.

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:09.000 Obviously, when you see this studio and you walk around, I'm a big fan of art.

01:41:13.000 Yeah.

01:41:13.000 I love it.

01:41:14.000 And you know what the weird thing about me is?

01:41:16.000 In my place now, there's maybe two things on the wall.

01:41:21.000 My house looks unlived in.

01:41:23.000 And the reason is, is because I'm so specific.

01:41:26.000 Like, I can't tell you art-wise what I want.

01:41:30.000 I have to see it.

01:41:31.000 And when I see it, I know it.

01:41:33.000 I won't be able to explain it.

01:41:34.000 I know it. 0.99

01:41:35.000 And it's not, like, super deep shit. 0.99

01:41:37.000 Like, recently, I bought this big, gigantic canvas of a top-down view of a 930 Porsche Turbo. 0.99

01:41:45.000 Right?

01:41:46.000 So you can see the hips kind of flare out a little bit and stuff like that.

01:41:48.000 I saw it, and I was just online.

01:41:50.000 I was just at home, just hanging out on the couch, and I was like, that.

01:41:55.000 Because it evoked a certain emotion in me that I'm like, when I look at that and I see that, that's going to inspire me to a degree, right?

01:42:04.000 I'm sounding very, like, hairy-fairy, but nonetheless, it is what it is.

01:42:09.000 The problem is, is, like, I don't run across things visually.

01:42:14.000 Or often enough where I'm like, okay, I want to put that in my home.

01:42:16.000 And when I do, it's usually like something that somebody already has, so there isn't another one.

01:42:21.000 You get what I'm saying?

01:42:23.000 And I will not just put anything up for the sake of just putting it up.

01:42:27.000 Because I want to walk into my place and I want it to mean something to me when I see it.

01:42:32.000 Well, lack of things is also something.

01:42:35.000 True.

01:42:35.000 You know, like sometimes there's a lot of serenity in an empty room, which is like a couch and a table.

01:42:42.000 You know, there's something about that, too.

01:42:43.000 And maybe one piece of art on the wall is better than five pieces of art or a wall filled with art.

01:42:49.000 That is true.

01:42:50.000 Yeah.

01:42:51.000 But there is something.

01:42:51.000 But then there's also that mental playground when you do have...

01:42:56.000 And I think that's what you have here.

01:42:58.000 Yeah.

01:42:59.000 Right?

01:42:59.000 Because I walk in, it's like...

01:43:02.000 Every time I look, something looks different.

01:43:05.000 And it works.

01:43:07.000 It's like this beautiful controlled chaos that just works because it's chaotic but yet uniform.

01:43:14.000 If that makes any sense.

01:43:15.000 Yeah, it's cultivated chaos.

01:43:18.000 And I love it.

01:43:19.000 And lighting.

01:43:20.000 I'm big on lighting.

01:43:22.000 I may be wrong about this, but I feel like everything here is designed to kind of Allow you, like, relax you, essentially.

01:43:30.000 The idea is to make it comfortable, but also stimulate conversation. 0.79

01:43:35.000 I want a lot of different weird shit on the table, like this symbol. 0.93

01:43:39.000 And I've been looking at the back of the spine since we got here. 0.86

01:43:43.000 This is actually a...

01:43:45.000 How old was this again?

01:43:48.000 This is a piece of moose bone that was taken out of the Alaskan tundra.

01:43:56.000 That's from the Boneyard in Alaska.

01:43:58.000 How do you say moose plural?

01:44:00.000 Moose.

01:44:00.000 Moose?

01:44:00.000 Okay.

01:44:01.000 Yeah.

01:44:01.000 So moose and elk.

01:44:04.000 Fucking beautiful creatures, man. 0.99

01:44:07.000 You have to see them in person. 1.00

01:44:09.000 You have to.

01:44:10.000 They are stunning in person.

01:44:14.000 That's all I wanted to say.

01:44:16.000 I did my elk hunt not too long ago.

01:44:19.000 I remember we came across them twice.

01:44:23.000 When you come face to face with them in the wild, it's just different.

01:44:27.000 It's amazing.

01:44:28.000 They're beautiful, man.

01:44:29.000 They are absolutely stunning.

01:44:31.000 I've never seen a moose in person.

01:44:33.000 But I can...

01:44:34.000 Bro, they don't even look real.

01:44:36.000 Really?

01:44:36.000 The first time I saw one was in British Columbia.

01:44:39.000 And the first time I saw it, I was like...

01:44:41.000 It was like the scene in Jurassic Park where Jeff Goldblum gets out of the Jeep and he's like...

01:44:45.000 What the f...

01:44:48.000 They're so big, they don't look real.

01:44:50.000 They're so big, they don't look real.

01:44:52.000 Gotcha.

01:44:52.000 It's double the size of an elk.

01:44:54.000 Really?

01:44:55.000 Double. 1.00

01:44:55.000 Damn. 1.00

01:44:55.000 Double. 1.00

01:44:56.000 Easy.

01:44:56.000 And I was blown away by how...

01:45:02.000 What I'm looking for is so agile and light-footed LR. Because we stumbled on my hunt.

01:45:09.000 We accidentally stumbled on one.

01:45:11.000 He didn't know we were there.

01:45:12.000 We didn't know he was there until we knew each other was there.

01:45:16.000 I've never seen anything move so fast through thick brush without making a sound.

01:45:21.000 Also with giant antlers.

01:45:23.000 It made a joke.

01:45:25.000 I'm talking thick brush.

01:45:28.000 Didn't make a sound when it took off. 0.99

01:45:31.000 I was like, what the fuck? 0.99

01:45:32.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:45:33.000 I was like, okay, okay, this is real.

01:45:35.000 They're designed for it.

01:45:36.000 Yeah.

01:45:37.000 And they're also designed to get away from credit.

01:45:39.000 Look at the size of that moose.

01:45:41.000 I lived in, what does it say?

01:45:42.000 I lived in London for most of my life, so I've never seen a real-life moose.

01:45:45.000 Look how much bigger it is in those cars.

01:45:47.000 Good God.

01:45:48.000 Bro, they're so big, you can't believe they're real.

01:45:50.000 That thing is huge.

01:45:50.000 And they're aggressive.

01:45:52.000 The difference between a moose and other animals is if you see a deer, they'll run away from you.

01:45:57.000 If you see a moose, they might stomp you to death.

01:45:59.000 If you're close enough that they don't like it, they'll come at you.

01:46:03.000 Because they're used to fighting off wolves.

01:46:05.000 They're stompers.

01:46:07.000 They're stompers.

01:46:09.000 You know, I saw an elephant take on a...

01:46:11.000 What was it going on?

01:46:12.000 I think it was a rhino.

01:46:14.000 You saw it live? 1.00

01:46:15.000 No, fuck no. 1.00

01:46:16.000 I saw it on the internet. 1.00

01:46:17.000 Yeah, and I'm like...

01:46:19.000 I've started to realize elephants are not to be messed with. 0.99

01:46:22.000 Not to be fucked with. 0.99

01:46:23.000 Like, at all. 0.99

01:46:23.000 No. 0.99

01:46:24.000 Like, they seem kind of passive.

01:46:26.000 They're not.

01:46:26.000 Well, they're passive if they don't need to be aggressive.

01:46:31.000 Here it is. 0.93

01:46:32.000 Elephant fucks up this rhino. 0.97

01:46:33.000 Oh, they're so much bigger. 1.00

01:46:35.000 I mean, it's like a sumo wrestler versus a high school fucking 134 pounder. 0.98

01:46:40.000 But when I first saw them face off... 0.99

01:46:42.000 I thought the rhino was going to get the best one because of the long ass horn. 1.00

01:46:44.000 Nah, that one ain't shit. 1.00

01:46:46.000 Clearly. 0.99

01:46:47.000 And that's also an elephant with small tusks.

01:46:49.000 Yeah, I know.

01:46:49.000 Which, by the way, the sad thing is elephants, genetically, they're starting to have smaller and smaller tusks because of the evolutionary aspect of the fact that people want them for their tusks.

01:47:02.000 So their tusks are actually growing smaller.

01:47:05.000 To be less desirable.

01:47:07.000 Yeah, which is crazy that that's how evolution works.

01:47:10.000 That it works over that small of a period of time.

01:47:14.000 That is kind of nutty.

01:47:15.000 Yeah.

01:47:15.000 That is actually really nutty.

01:47:16.000 There's a documentary that I watched from the BBC once on the Congo, and it's so fascinating because...

01:47:22.000 The Congo, at one point in time, was grasslands.

01:47:25.000 And then a rainforest emerged as the climate shifted.

01:47:29.000 And when the climate shifted, these savannah animals got trapped in this jungle.

01:47:36.000 So you have, like, gazelles and antelope.

01:47:40.000 Inside of a jungle.

01:47:41.000 There's an antelope, I think it's called a duiker, that swims underwater for, like, a hundred yards and eats fish.

01:47:48.000 Antelope?

01:47:49.000 Yeah, little tiny antelope.

01:47:51.000 Swims underwater.

01:47:52.000 They're evolving to swim underwater.

01:47:54.000 There's fish that come out of the ground and they walk till they find the next water.

01:48:00.000 So, like, they're literally, like, evolving in front of our eyes.

01:48:03.000 They're changing their behavior characteristics and then what's a natural advantage.

01:48:09.000 Or is that radioactive?

01:48:11.000 No.

01:48:12.000 Yeah, that's in some places.

01:48:15.000 You know another thing that's beautiful to watch move in their environment?

01:48:19.000 Snow leopards.

01:48:20.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:21.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:22.000 Isn't Wilder a cat that lives in the snow?

01:48:25.000 You think of cats, you think of the jungle, right?

01:48:26.000 And then the funny thing is, they call it a leopard, but I'm like, that thing is like a lion.

01:48:30.000 It's weird.

01:48:32.000 Not a lion, a tiger.

01:48:33.000 Yeah.

01:48:33.000 That thing is like a tiger.

01:48:34.000 Crazy big paws, like snowshoes, so they can run through the snow easier.

01:48:39.000 And then watching them just chase the mountain goats all up and down the mountain, and do it with such fluidity, it's insane to me.

01:48:46.000 I saw lynx in Canada once, in the wild.

01:48:49.000 This wild looking thing, man.

01:48:51.000 Lynx are crazy looking. 1.00

01:48:53.000 They just don't look like they belong there. 0.95

01:48:55.000 And they make the nuttiest noises.

01:48:58.000 They stand in front of each other and they scream at each other.

01:49:01.000 They get face to face and they're screaming at each other.

01:49:03.000 Yeah, there's videos of these Lynx that are standing in front of each other. 0.98

01:49:10.000 They get real close to each other.

01:49:12.000 You know that's going to become a meme, right?

01:49:13.000 Yeah, check it out.

01:49:16.000 Look at these guys.

01:49:23.000 Look, they just scream at each other's faces.

01:49:25.000 Then they just get real close to each other and they don't do anything. 1.00

01:49:29.000 They're like, bitch, this is my spot! 1.00

01:49:35.000 Isn't that what? 1.00

01:49:39.000 Isn't that nuts?

01:49:40.000 You know what this reminds me of?

01:49:42.000 What?

01:49:42.000 Okay, there's this video.

01:49:43.000 Look at their feet, man.

01:49:44.000 Look at their feet. 1.00

01:49:47.000 Don't get too close, bitch! 1.00

01:49:47.000 I'll slap you! 1.00

01:49:48.000 But they don't fight. 1.00

01:49:49.000 Look, because they know that getting injured is so fucking deadly. 0.99

01:49:53.000 It's a death sentence. 0.99

01:49:54.000 Yeah, you break your leg or you get your eye scratched out. 0.68

01:49:57.000 That's it.

01:49:58.000 It reminds me of this video I saw on Instagram where it's like all these women at like some retreat and they're like moving crazy and screaming and like... 1.00

01:50:07.000 One of those women empowerment retreats.

01:50:11.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:50:12.000 I was like, what the fuck did I just watch? 1.00

01:50:14.000 Yeah, what the fuck did you just watch? 1.00

01:50:15.000 And then I watched it again. 0.99

01:50:16.000 Yeah.

01:50:16.000 And then I watched it again.

01:50:17.000 I couldn't take my eyes away from it.

01:50:18.000 That always seems like someone's got some scam running.

01:50:21.000 I'm gonna show you how to be powerful.

01:50:23.000 You're just gonna scream at each other.

01:50:24.000 To me, it just demonstrates how...

01:50:26.000 Imagine men doing that. 0.99

01:50:28.000 I'm sure they do.

01:50:29.000 I'm sure.

01:50:30.000 There's some male retreat. 1.00

01:50:33.000 Like, probably organized by a gay guy trying to fuck these dudes. 1.00

01:50:36.000 Get them all together in the fucking jungle and just yell. 1.00

01:50:41.000 We're gonna yell, we're gonna yell naked! 1.00

01:50:43.000 I think it's the most...

01:50:46.000 Brutal demonstration of how good your life is.

01:50:49.000 Right, right, right.

01:50:51.000 You don't have to do that.

01:50:52.000 Yeah, that's the extent of your problem.

01:50:54.000 Yeah.

01:50:55.000 But, I mean...

01:50:56.000 There's so many men out there that don't know how to be a man.

01:50:59.000 They don't know what to do.

01:51:00.000 And they feel lost and disconnected, and they wish they were something they're not.

01:51:04.000 So those guys are, like, super susceptible to these, like, how to be a man things.

01:51:09.000 Yeah, it's definitely, you know, there's a fine line between, you know, In what it is to be a man and in the caricature of what it is to be a man.

01:51:19.000 Right.

01:51:20.000 I... Like, I was raised by a single...

01:51:23.000 I was more or less raised by a single parent mother.

01:51:25.000 But I can tell...

01:51:26.000 I know now, as an adult, she overcompensated in a lot of ways.

01:51:32.000 Because she knew she was having to raise a man.

01:51:35.000 And the way she did it was...

01:51:37.000 She wasn't hard on me brutally, but it was enough where...

01:51:44.000 I, she forced me to do things on my own.

01:51:46.000 But then also what she did is she made sure that she had male influences in my life that I would take after. 1.00

01:51:52.000 Now at the time I didn't understand what was going on.

01:51:54.000 I'm like, why do you want me to go see Dr. Johnson?

01:51:55.000 I don't want to go talk to Dr. Johnson, right?

01:51:57.000 And Dr. Johnson was this cardiologist who she would force me to go talk to and be around. 1.00

01:52:04.000 That's very wise of your mother though.

01:52:05.000 Yeah, she is.

01:52:06.000 I mean, she's freaking phenomenal at that. 1.00

01:52:08.000 Like, I should be inherently fucked up. 1.00

01:52:12.000 Flat out. 0.99

01:52:13.000 But because of her I'm not.

01:52:14.000 That's amazing.

01:52:16.000 That's amazing that she was wise enough to see that and to recognize that and to act on it.

01:52:21.000 Because if you don't, it's too late.

01:52:24.000 You let that guy get to adulthood and you can't influence him then. 0.96

01:52:27.000 It's very hard to take a fucked up grown adult and then turn him around. 0.93

01:52:33.000 And I think the beautiful thing I'm glad she didn't do with me that I've seen sometimes with single parents sometimes is she didn't baby me. 0.98

01:52:44.000 In a manner in which, like, she understood her limitations as a woman.

01:52:47.000 So she knew she had to have male influence to some degree. 0.99

01:52:50.000 So she was very cautious about, like, if my mom happened to be a hoe, I would never know. 1.00

01:52:56.000 Because she did such a phenomenal job in curating whoever it was that was going to be around me that was a man.

01:53:01.000 And that influence and how much that played a part in me growing up.

01:53:05.000 Because I think she understood, I can only do so much as a woman to teach this guy how to be a man.

01:53:12.000 And now when I think about things and how I compose and how I handle myself, I subconsciously think about those individuals who I interacted with.

01:53:19.000 And that's what I pulled from growing up.

01:53:21.000 And so I thank her for that, at least knowing her limitations from that standpoint.

01:53:28.000 Figuring out a way to provide that example for me.

01:53:30.000 Yeah, that's very important.

01:53:32.000 It's very important.

01:53:33.000 I got very fortunate that when I was young, I got involved in martial arts when I was really young.

01:53:37.000 Same here.

01:53:37.000 I did, too.

01:53:38.000 I didn't continue with it to the degree that you did, but I definitely—and for me, martial arts turned into basketball for me, and that's what that was.

01:53:46.000 Well, it's anything that's difficult to do.

01:53:48.000 Things that are difficult, where it's undeniable that the work you put in equals how much better you get, period.

01:53:55.000 I mean, there's certain genetic advantages, but even with those genetic advantages, the more work you put in, the more results you will get.

01:54:02.000 And there's other people with genetic advantages, too.

01:54:04.000 And then when you're competing, then you're competing against a bunch of people that are driven, and they have a much higher standard, and that's what athletics provides a lot of people.

01:54:14.000 To this day, I pull from my experiences playing basketball.

01:54:21.000 Because when I was younger, like, it's funny to say now because, like, as an adult, you're like, you're not going to the NBA College.

01:54:29.000 But nobody could tell me that I wasn't.

01:54:32.000 No one.

01:54:32.000 And I worked like that's what I was going to do.

01:54:35.000 I put in the effort.

01:54:36.000 I put in the work.

01:54:37.000 No one was going to outwork me for that.

01:54:39.000 And because of it, All of the struggle, everything I did from that point to now, I still pull from that because it set a pattern of behavior in me.

01:54:49.000 So all I did was, when I realized your hoop dreams aren't happening, I just transferred that drive, that consistency, that discipline, and I just transferred over to what I was doing next.

01:55:03.000 And I just continued to do that.

01:55:06.000 Whatever I switch up to and start doing next, that's what I put it into.

01:55:10.000 That's what I was taught.

01:55:11.000 I was taught when I was young that martial arts are a vehicle for developing your human potential.

01:55:16.000 And if you could figure out how to get good at this, you can figure out how to get good at pretty much everything.

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.000 I think one thing I have a regret I regret is not living longer in martial arts.

01:55:31.000 Because I think I have a brutal, brutal amount of respect for any individual who can perfect a craft in that space.

01:55:39.000 I think fighters are some of the toughest people on the planet.

01:55:43.000 Which is by virtue of what they do.

01:55:44.000 They have to be.

01:55:45.000 Exactly.

01:55:46.000 That is what they do.

01:55:47.000 They do one of the toughest things to do.

01:55:49.000 You're going against, willingly going against a trained individual who has spent time preparing for you.

01:55:56.000 Literally.

01:55:56.000 Yeah.

01:55:57.000 Like, it's not like, oh, I'm out and about and I got caught off guard and I can take advantage of the fact that he doesn't know. 0.98

01:56:02.000 This is like, I'm coming to kill you. 1.00

01:56:04.000 Not literally, but I'm coming to kill you. 1.00

01:56:05.000 You're coming to kill me. 1.00

01:56:06.000 You got press conferences. 1.00

01:56:08.000 You're talking shit to each other. 1.00

01:56:10.000 Getting all ramped up emotionally. 1.00

01:56:12.000 Yeah.

01:56:13.000 Yeah, it's...

01:56:14.000 I mean, that's also why it's so exciting to see.

01:56:16.000 Yeah.

01:56:16.000 Because, you know, you're seeing, like, oh my god, these guys have been getting ready for this forever.

01:56:21.000 Here we go.

01:56:22.000 When you see two dudes just looking at each other across the octagon, they're staring at each other, getting ready to go. 1.00

01:56:27.000 Fuck. 1.00

01:56:28.000 Just the tension in the air is so crazy. 1.00

01:56:31.000 And what's crazy is the...

01:56:37.000 You can be on top of the world one, two, three fights in.

01:56:41.000 And then in two seconds, just like that, everything comes crashing down.

01:56:46.000 And so then now you have to figure out how to pick those pieces back up.

01:56:49.000 Because there's very small room, there's very little margin of error to come back from a loss.

01:56:55.000 And the crazy thing is a lot of times fighters are at the peak of their ability and then they have one loss and they fall off a cliff.

01:57:03.000 That's like Tony Ferguson is the greatest example of that. 0.92

01:57:05.000 He was the scariest fucking guy in the 155 pound division until he wasn't. 0.89

01:57:09.000 And then he loses to Justin Gaethje and then he goes on like a seven fight losing streak. 0.99

01:57:16.000 It's crazy because for years no one can touch him.

01:57:19.000 For years he was literally the boogeyman.

01:57:21.000 Everyone was scared of that dude.

01:57:23.000 And the crazy thing is, with UFC fighting, there's no one way to be the best.

01:57:30.000 Right.

01:57:31.000 Because there's so much going on in a fight that one lapse in focus, that split-second lapse in focus, fight's done.

01:57:40.000 Done.

01:57:41.000 Done.

01:57:42.000 Right?

01:57:42.000 And you could be perfect in everything else.

01:57:44.000 Yep.

01:57:45.000 Just like that.

01:57:46.000 That's Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards.

01:57:48.000 Kamaru's dominating for the whole fight, and then in the fifth round, with like a minute to go, gets head kicked into the shadow realm.

01:57:56.000 And it's crazy, and then Kamaru loses the next fight, and then he loses the fight after that.

01:58:01.000 So Kamaru's this unbelievably dominant champion, and then one head kick.

01:58:07.000 I mean, he's still on the hunt.

01:58:10.000 He can still come back.

01:58:12.000 He had a really good fight in his last fight against Hamzat Chemaev, but he lost.

01:58:18.000 And then here you are, three losses in a row.

01:58:21.000 What you do with that loss is everything.

01:58:24.000 It's literally everything.

01:58:25.000 And it's probably way harder than any fight that you've actually been in.

01:58:29.000 And then there's the reality of your body.

01:58:31.000 Your body can only take so much of that before it just starts to fail.

01:58:35.000 And Kamara, one of the things that I really admire about him, he's so open and honest about his injuries. 0.99

01:58:40.000 Like, his knees are so fucked up. 0.98

01:58:43.000 He can't run. 1.00

01:58:44.000 He doesn't walk downstairs.

01:58:47.000 He goes backwards downstairs.

01:58:49.000 We need to send him to Ben.

01:58:50.000 To Ben?

01:58:52.000 Knees over toes.

01:58:53.000 Oh, yeah.

01:58:54.000 Yeah.

01:58:55.000 I'm sure that would help a little, but I'm sure he's probably doing that stuff.

01:59:00.000 He has no cartilage in his knees.

01:59:02.000 His knees are destroyed.

01:59:03.000 Gotcha.

01:59:04.000 I mean, they're destroyed.

01:59:04.000 They're bone on bone.

01:59:05.000 He's resigned himself to this thing that at one point... 0.99

01:59:08.000 If you look at Kamaru's body, his upper body looks like a fucking superhero. 0.99

01:59:12.000 But he has these small legs. 1.00

01:59:14.000 Gotcha.

01:59:15.000 His legs are so small compared to his upper body.

01:59:18.000 And part of that is because his knees are destroyed.

01:59:20.000 There's only so much he can do with his legs.

01:59:23.000 Funny thing is, I'm the opposite.

01:59:24.000 My legs are too damn big. 0.99

01:59:26.000 I hate them, dude. 1.00

01:59:27.000 What do you mean you hate your legs? 1.00

01:59:28.000 They're too big.

01:59:29.000 What are you talking about?

01:59:30.000 They're too big.

01:59:31.000 I have big legs.

01:59:32.000 I have big calves.

01:59:33.000 Ever since I was young.

01:59:35.000 They used to call me calves because my calves are so big.

01:59:38.000 That's great genetics, man.

01:59:39.000 You should have been a kickboxer.

01:59:41.000 It's a giant advantage.

01:59:42.000 I mean, probably so, but it's a little too late now.

01:59:46.000 It's not too late to train.

01:59:47.000 Yeah, and I did.

01:59:48.000 I was training at Fortis for a period of time.

01:59:51.000 Oh, were you really?

01:59:51.000 Yeah, me and Safe are really good friends.

01:59:53.000 Oh, that's great.

01:59:54.000 I love that, dude.

01:59:55.000 I love that gym, too. 0.99

01:59:56.000 That's a great fucking gym. 0.99

01:59:57.000 Honestly, during COVID, it was my refuge. 1.00

01:59:59.000 Yeah?

02:00:00.000 That gym was my refuge during COVID, dude.

02:00:02.000 I mean, and I was going to do some dark times in that gym.

02:00:06.000 Yeah. 0.56

02:00:06.000 Hell, Saif! 0.56

02:00:08.000 That gym was my refuge.

02:00:10.000 Shout out to Saif Saoud.

02:00:11.000 He's awesome.

02:00:12.000 He's a great coach too.

02:00:13.000 Yeah, I know he is.

02:00:14.000 Should I see him doing that gym?

02:00:16.000 He's so good in the corner.

02:00:18.000 A sign of a great coach is the way they give advice in between rounds.

02:00:22.000 And that guy is precise, he's technical, he's motivating, he's intense.

02:00:28.000 He lets you know. 0.99

02:00:28.000 He's not going to sugarcoat shit. 0.99

02:00:31.000 It's not just the ring, bro. 0.99

02:00:33.000 I'm sure.

02:00:33.000 Yeah.

02:00:34.000 When me and Safe talk, we're talking.

02:00:40.000 He's intense.

02:00:41.000 That's how you become a great coach.

02:00:43.000 You understand things for what they really are, and this is what you have to do, and there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

02:00:49.000 You know, it's funny.

02:00:50.000 I don't know if he wants me to tell this story, but sorry, bro.

02:00:54.000 I mean, it's not that big a deal, but the way we met, I met him at a gun range.

02:00:58.000 So I met him at a gun range, and then I figured it was a good time for me to get into fighting again.

02:01:05.000 So I called him up.

02:01:06.000 I was like, hey, I'm good with the gun stuff, but it means nothing if I can't work my hands, right?

02:01:10.000 So I called him, went to the gym, kind of did the first, you know, showed me the lay of the land, and then he got a notification on his phone that his alarm was going off.

02:01:22.000 And like somebody was breaking into his house.

02:01:23.000 And he was like, and we just met.

02:01:26.000 But he knew who I was in the space that I'm in.

02:01:29.000 And he was like, dude, something's going on in my house.

02:01:32.000 I need to figure out what's going on.

02:01:33.000 He's like going to roll with me. 1.00

02:01:35.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

02:01:36.000 Yeah, so we hop in his truck. 1.00

02:01:38.000 We drive to his house, and we cleared his house. 1.00

02:01:41.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

02:01:42.000 I don't know if you want me to tell the story. 0.99

02:01:43.000 If I did, I'm sorry.

02:01:44.000 But, yeah.

02:01:45.000 And then from there, we just became best friends.

02:01:49.000 After that, it was like we went shooting together.

02:01:51.000 But dude is willing to come clear your house with you.

02:01:55.000 That's a ride or die right there.

02:01:57.000 I mean, that is the scariest situation ever.

02:01:59.000 You don't know what's in your house.

02:02:01.000 Any room could be filled with a guy with a gun.

02:02:03.000 You literally don't know.

02:02:05.000 Now, was it the smartest thing to probably do?

02:02:07.000 No, but I think it was one of those situations you don't think you just go.

02:02:12.000 You just go. 0.99

02:02:12.000 And I've done it in my house before where I've gotten home, and this is a little on the lower end of intensity, but sometimes that garage door is cracked open when you get back and you're like, what the fuck? 0.99

02:02:24.000 And you're like, I know I closed that door. 0.86

02:02:26.000 And then it's like, alright, let's figure this out.

02:02:29.000 Now I'm clearing my house. 0.97

02:02:30.000 The reality of crime and the reality of violence is something that you can't just fucking bury your head in the sand about. 0.93

02:02:36.000 It doesn't mean you have to be a violent person or a terrible person. 0.65

02:02:39.000 And you're clearly not.

02:02:41.000 You're a very nice guy.

02:02:42.000 But you are very well trained.

02:02:45.000 You know what to do with weapons.

02:02:47.000 And that will... 1.00

02:02:48.000 If the shit hits the fan one day, that will serve you well. 1.00

02:02:52.000 And I mean... 1.00

02:02:54.000 God forbid that ever happens.

02:02:55.000 God forbid that ever happens.

02:02:56.000 Look, I carry a gun every single day.

02:03:00.000 As long as I can legally.

02:03:02.000 Praying that you never have to use it.

02:03:03.000 If I ever have to use my gun in self-defense, I'm going to have to get therapy.

02:03:08.000 Yes.

02:03:09.000 Period.

02:03:09.000 Yeah, probably.

02:03:11.000 But that's just it.

02:03:12.000 I don't want to have to.

02:03:14.000 Exactly.

02:03:15.000 But I much more don't want to find myself in a situation where I have to, but I can't do anything about it because I don't have the thing I need to do it.

02:03:22.000 Or you can't protect someone you love, which is even more terrifying.

02:03:25.000 Even worse.

02:03:25.000 Exactly.

02:03:26.000 You watch something happen, there's nothing you can do about it.

02:03:28.000 Bro, kind of unrelated, but... 0.99

02:03:31.000 Did you see this fucking thing that happened in California where this woman stabbed her boyfriend 108 times and they let her go with community service? 0.99

02:03:41.000 They said that she was psychotic from smoking marijuana. 0.99

02:03:47.000 So I don't smoke.

02:03:48.000 By the way, I've been smoking a long time.

02:03:51.000 I ain't never thought about stabbing one person ever.

02:03:54.000 Forget about someone that you're in a relationship with 108 times.

02:03:59.000 Yeah, that's something else.

02:04:01.000 The defense was that she had a psychotic break from, I think it was one hit. 0.61

02:04:08.000 So I had a bad panic attack from one hit.

02:04:13.000 Yeah, you can have a panic attack with some strong, especially if you're not a regular smoke.

02:04:17.000 No, I wasn't.

02:04:18.000 Was it a bong hit or a joint?

02:04:19.000 It was a joint.

02:04:20.000 What it was was it was my first time actually inhaling.

02:04:25.000 You went to Bill Clinton the way before?

02:04:27.000 No, seriously.

02:04:28.000 And I just, all I remember, I couldn't stop coughing.

02:04:30.000 Not realizing each cough is just sending more THC to my system.

02:04:34.000 And that was the real, like, that was me really smoking for the first time.

02:04:38.000 And let's just say, all I remember, I'm sitting on a couch, having a massive panic attack, watching Eddie Murphy Raw.

02:04:46.000 Hey! 0.99

02:04:47.000 And how I knew I was fucked up was I've watched Raw multiple times and never have I not laughed my ass off. 0.99

02:04:55.000 And I remember sitting there watching it and I was like, this is not funny. 0.99

02:04:59.000 I was like, oh dude, so what's wrong with you, dude?

02:05:02.000 You were just freaking out.

02:05:03.000 Yeah, you can freak out, man.

02:05:05.000 Yeah.

02:05:05.000 So this is the story.

02:05:07.000 I mean, it just said that this New York president was just really strong weed.

02:05:11.000 30% weed.

02:05:13.000 Whatever.

02:05:14.000 Whatever.

02:05:14.000 One hit.

02:05:15.000 She stabbed her boyfriend 108 times. 0.88

02:05:17.000 I don't care if she took 18 bong hits. 1.00

02:05:19.000 And herself and the dog.

02:05:21.000 What? 0.99

02:05:21.000 Well, maybe there's something wrong with her, and she shouldn't get fucking community service. 0.99

02:05:26.000 That's insane. 1.00

02:05:28.000 She stabbed her dog and then stabbed herself repeatedly after deputies were called to their apartment.

02:05:34.000 Okay, first of all, when people kill people, they often kill themselves.

02:05:39.000 This happens to men who kill their girlfriends or their ex-girlfriends.

02:05:42.000 Oftentimes, they'll shoot themselves.

02:05:44.000 It happens all the time.

02:05:45.000 She found out he was cheating.

02:05:46.000 Well, whatever it was.

02:05:48.000 The whole thing is she received just two years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and no prison time.

02:05:54.000 I would believe that more if it was alcohol.

02:05:57.000 Even alcohol doesn't make any...

02:05:59.000 No, but that's what I'm saying.

02:05:59.000 It would have to be like crystal meth mixed with...

02:06:03.000 PCP? Yeah.

02:06:06.000 The lawyers were asked to describe the difference in her case in a fatal drunken driving crash, which Goldstein chalked up to awareness, noting that, I don't know how you say her name, whatever her last name is, did not know what she was getting herself into as Amelia provided the pot but did not show her the warning on the label.

02:06:26.000 What?

02:06:27.000 As far as the DUI is concerned, that person knowingly and consciously drinks to excess and decides to get behind the wheel of a car.

02:06:33.000 In Mrs., whatever her name is, case, she took a hit of what she believed to be a legal consumer product in the sanctity of Mr. O'Melia's home as they sat on his couch with no plans to go drive home later that evening. 0.74

02:06:47.000 43 times in her neck she stabbed herself.

02:06:49.000 She stabbed herself 43 times in the neck. 0.84

02:06:52.000 Oh my god.

02:06:53.000 Well, that's the marks on her neck? 0.85

02:06:55.000 I don't think she's really trying that hard. 0.70

02:06:57.000 Well, listen, people try to kill themselves after they kill somebody.

02:07:00.000 Look, if you're lying there and your boyfriend has got 108 stab wounds and you're like, oh my god, my life is over.

02:07:07.000 I'm going to jail for the rest of my life.

02:07:09.000 But why the dog? 1.00

02:07:10.000 Because she's fucking just an angry lady. 1.00

02:07:13.000 I think she just had a psychotic break and I don't think it was the week. 1.00

02:07:17.000 Who knows?

02:07:17.000 I think she found out something she did not want to find out.

02:07:20.000 It could be.

02:07:21.000 And she just snapped. 1.00

02:07:21.000 But it might not be that. 1.00

02:07:23.000 I mean, Sheena might be fucking legitimately crazy, but either way, two hours or 100 hours of community service and two years of probation is fucking nuts. 1.00

02:07:31.000 You just killed somebody. 0.99

02:07:31.000 Imagine the rules reversed. 0.99

02:07:33.000 Imagine if it was a man who stabbed his wife or his girlfriend 108 times and then stabbed the dog.

02:07:39.000 He'd be under the jail.

02:07:40.000 He'd be under the jail. 0.93

02:07:41.000 Death sentence.

02:07:42.000 Experts for both the defense and the prosecution concluded the pot she smoked caused her to slip into a psychotic state. 0.98

02:07:49.000 Now, here's the story.

02:07:51.000 You can have psychotic breaks from marijuana.

02:07:56.000 It is possible.

02:07:57.000 It's possible to have schizophrenic breaks from marijuana.

02:08:01.000 It's well documented with certain people that have...

02:08:04.000 Predisposition.

02:08:04.000 Yes.

02:08:06.000 But either way!

02:08:09.000 It doesn't make any sense.

02:08:10.000 Marijuana is not a violent drug.

02:08:12.000 It's not the kind of drug that makes you want to hurt somebody.

02:08:15.000 And keep in mind, this is coming from somebody who does not like marijuana.

02:08:18.000 At all.

02:08:20.000 I don't believe that.

02:08:21.000 It sounds insane.

02:08:23.000 I don't believe that.

02:08:23.000 It sounds insane.

02:08:25.000 There's probably a lot more to that story.

02:08:26.000 Very much so.

02:08:27.000 Very, very, very much so. 0.78

02:08:29.000 She stabbed herself in the neck.

02:08:30.000 Jesus Christ.

02:08:32.000 The deputy used a stun gun on her four times and another deputy hit her with the metal baton multiple times before knocking the knife out of her hand.

02:08:40.000 While she was stabbing herself or him?

02:08:42.000 I guess herself.

02:08:43.000 I just didn't say who she was stabbing.

02:08:44.000 She might have started stabbing herself when the cops showed up too. 1.00

02:08:48.000 Like, who knows?

02:08:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:08:50.000 I mean, the whole thing is nuts.

02:08:51.000 I mean, but then again, I've seen, like, I watched a video on the way up here.

02:08:57.000 I didn't watch it.

02:08:58.000 I was listening to it while I was driving on the way up here.

02:09:01.000 And, like, it was this girl.

02:09:03.000 I guess she was drunk or something.

02:09:05.000 And the cops were trying to arrest her.

02:09:06.000 And she completely lost it.

02:09:08.000 I mean, screaming at the top of her lungs. 1.00

02:09:11.000 Like, I mean, complete psychotic breakdown.

02:09:14.000 Yeah.

02:09:14.000 Just to avoid accountability of the fact that she was driving drunk.

02:09:19.000 There's some people that are out of their fucking minds, but I just don't think two years of probation is enough for that. 0.99

02:09:25.000 That sounds insane. 0.99

02:09:27.000 I think that goes without saying.

02:09:28.000 It sounds so insane that the judge said that.

02:09:32.000 I want to talk to the judge.

02:09:34.000 Whoa, hold on, too.

02:09:35.000 They were only dating for three weeks? 1.00

02:09:38.000 Oh my god, so even if you cheated on her, what the fuck? 0.99

02:09:41.000 That wouldn't warrant that. 0.99

02:09:43.000 Wow.

02:09:45.000 She worked as an audiologist?

02:09:46.000 What is that?

02:09:48.000 Sound.

02:09:48.000 And the dude was an accountant.

02:09:50.000 Maybe she stabbed him because he's boring.

02:09:52.000 It's a horrible tragedy all the way around, Swartz said.

02:09:55.000 It's a tragedy for the victim in his family.

02:09:56.000 It's a tragedy for my client and her family.

02:09:58.000 Yeah.

02:09:59.000 Well, it's certainly a tragedy.

02:10:01.000 But high-potency marijuana should put you in a place where you're terrified of everything.

02:10:08.000 Everything, yeah.

02:10:09.000 Exactly.

02:10:09.000 Not that you have the ability to grab a knife and stab a guy 108 times.

02:10:14.000 That sounds nuts. 0.99

02:10:15.000 That sounds so nuts.

02:10:18.000 It said in September they got the murder charge dropped to involuntary manslaughter after it was determined she lost her cognitive abilities because she was in the throes of psychosis.

02:10:28.000 Yeah.

02:10:29.000 Maybe.

02:10:31.000 But, I mean, I just don't think that absolves you of responsibility.

02:10:35.000 You know, the thing about it is there's no way to know what was going on in her head, which is the thing, like, you know, a friend of mine sent me a video, Tim Dillon sent me this video of these schizophrenics in downtown L.A. It's so crazy.

02:10:49.000 There's so many of them.

02:10:50.000 And all these different people are walking on the street just screaming at people who aren't there and just yelling into the sky.

02:10:56.000 I have...

02:10:57.000 My old place in Dallas.

02:10:59.000 I had a guy call him Richie.

02:11:02.000 I don't really know his name.

02:11:04.000 I just call him that because he likes to stand outside my door and just have loud conversations with himself.

02:11:10.000 It wasn't like all the time, but it'd be like once every like three or four months.

02:11:15.000 And he would just be standing.

02:11:16.000 I don't know why he picked my door to do it.

02:11:18.000 I don't know.

02:11:18.000 I never engaged with him or interacted with him.

02:11:20.000 I would just hear him out open window.

02:11:21.000 Like, there goes Richie.

02:11:23.000 But, yeah.

02:11:24.000 The mind is so weird.

02:11:27.000 It is.

02:11:27.000 You know, it's like just the fact that a human being...

02:11:29.000 Forget about...

02:11:30.000 Under the state of marijuana, PCP, whatever.

02:11:33.000 Just the fact that there's something, if you've never stabbed anyone before, there's something that someone can give you that can motivate you to do that.

02:11:40.000 Where you've never done that before, you've never stabbed anybody, and then all of a sudden you stab some guy you've been dating 108 times.

02:11:46.000 The mind is just so weird. 0.99

02:11:49.000 You know, we were talking today earlier while we were at the range about Instagram and about the shit you see on Instagram these days. 0.99

02:11:56.000 And we were talking about how when we were kids, faces of death was the wildest thing we'd ever seen. 0.99

02:12:01.000 And it was nothing compared to what you see on Instagram.

02:12:05.000 Nothing.

02:12:06.000 Nothing.

02:12:07.000 You can go on Instagram and see 1,150...

02:12:09.000 You know I'm about to get in my soapbox, right?

02:12:10.000 Yeah, please.

02:12:11.000 You can go on Instagram and watch 1,150 million people get stabbed, shot, killed, thrown off buildings, and it'll show up on your Explorer page.

02:12:19.000 Right.

02:12:19.000 I post a picture of a gun.

02:12:22.000 I'm throttled.

02:12:23.000 I don't show up on the Explorer page.

02:12:24.000 I've never seen a gun on my Explorer page.

02:12:29.000 The level of...

02:12:31.000 I don't even call it shadow banning anymore.

02:12:32.000 They tell you they're doing it.

02:12:34.000 Like, I can't post...

02:12:36.000 This is the responsible way to handle a firearm.

02:12:40.000 Throttled.

02:12:41.000 Throttled.

02:12:42.000 Like, it's insane.

02:12:44.000 What Instagram is doing to the gun community is monumentally insane. 0.98

02:12:48.000 So you know what the fucked up part about it is? 0.97

02:12:51.000 Because of the way they are about that... 0.93

02:12:54.000 The only representation of firearms that you're going to get exposed to, generally speaking, if you're not already following them, are the negative representations of firearms or the unsafe way to handle a firearm because those are making it. 0.98

02:13:04.000 But the shit that we post, the responsible shit, that doesn't. 0.99

02:13:08.000 Bro, how many videos have you seen of dudes in traditional Arab attire shooting the guns off in the air and then they accidentally shoot their friend? 1.00

02:13:18.000 Dude.

02:13:18.000 There's so many of those.

02:13:21.000 You see way more of those.

02:13:22.000 They're just dancing.

02:13:23.000 Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

02:13:24.000 Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

02:13:25.000 Bang! 1.00

02:13:25.000 Dude gets it in the head. 1.00

02:13:27.000 I've seen so many of those.

02:13:29.000 You want to know how I learned gun safety when I got into guns?

02:13:31.000 Sure. 0.99

02:13:32.000 Fucking YouTube. 0.99

02:13:33.000 Because there were so many examples of people. 0.99

02:13:35.000 When I started, when I got into guns and I got into the gun community, there were so many people who were iterating over and over and over again.

02:13:42.000 Check your gun.

02:13:43.000 Make sure it's clear.

02:13:43.000 Never point it at something you're not willing to destroy.

02:13:45.000 Guns are always loaded at all times, no matter what.

02:13:48.000 It became ingrained in my brain.

02:13:50.000 They almost shamed you into gun safety.

02:13:53.000 Well, one of the things today was a very good representation of that.

02:13:58.000 Everyone today had responsible gun safety habits.

02:14:03.000 Everyone today.

02:14:05.000 Everyone was pointing the gun at the ground.

02:14:07.000 Everyone's clearing the gun.

02:14:08.000 No one ever pointed a gun in the direction of someone.

02:14:11.000 People were constantly checking.

02:14:12.000 Even after they cleared the gun...

02:14:14.000 They were literally...

02:14:15.000 Probably 25 guns out there.

02:14:18.000 Yeah.

02:14:18.000 And magazines all over the place.

02:14:20.000 All over the place.

02:14:21.000 But, like I said, it's establishing that safety dynamic.

02:14:26.000 Yeah.

02:14:26.000 And you can't...

02:14:27.000 And they talk about...

02:14:29.000 Man, I'm getting on my soapbox.

02:14:30.000 Get on it.

02:14:30.000 They talk about...

02:14:31.000 The other side talks about this idea of gun safety, firearm safety.

02:14:36.000 We're good to go.

02:14:57.000 What you need to do is allow the information of how to safely handle a firearm be spread to the public so that they understand it.

02:15:04.000 It works because that's how I learned it.

02:15:06.000 No one came to me and said this is the safe way to do it.

02:15:09.000 I went online, I was learning about firearms, and I learned from the people who were handling them responsibly how to We're good to go.

02:15:41.000 So do you want people running around out there who don't understand the legal aspect of owning a firearm?

02:15:45.000 Or when you actually decide to carry a firearm, when is a good time not to shoot?

02:15:49.000 When is a good time to shoot?

02:15:51.000 No.

02:15:51.000 Instead, they shadow ban and block all of our content.

02:15:55.000 And only leave the negative representation out there.

02:15:58.000 And then wonder why all of these accidental shootings continue to happen.

02:16:03.000 And the negative ones find their way into my feed all the time from people that I don't follow.

02:16:09.000 Exactly.

02:16:10.000 So they must know.

02:16:13.000 We were talking about today about that thing that you click on that says, do you still want to watch this?

02:16:18.000 This could be disturbing.

02:16:19.000 So they know.

02:16:19.000 They know about it.

02:16:20.000 They know.

02:16:21.000 I watched a guy get cut in half by a train today. 0.98

02:16:24.000 They were fucking around on the train station, the guy pushes his friend, and the train comes, and his friend goes in between the train and the crack and gets ripped apart. 0.96

02:16:32.000 The guys grab his arms, they pull him, and it's just guts out of a torso. 0.99

02:16:37.000 And everyone's screaming.

02:16:39.000 It's horrible.

02:16:41.000 And it just showed up on my Instagram.

02:16:43.000 Yep, I see it all the time.

02:16:44.000 So if they have that warning, they must know what that is.

02:16:48.000 Does TikTok, I'm not on TikTok.

02:16:50.000 They banned me.

02:16:51.000 But does, they banned you?

02:16:52.000 Just for showing guns.

02:16:54.000 Just for showing guns.

02:16:55.000 Does TikTok show violence?

02:16:57.000 Do they have that kind of violence?

02:16:58.000 I don't know, honestly, because...

02:17:01.000 You're bad.

02:17:03.000 Because I was... 0.99

02:17:04.000 The fucked up thing about it is this... 0.78

02:17:09.000 Like, when I started the TikTok page, and you remember, TikTok is a younger audience. 0.93

02:17:13.000 What's it skewed towards?

02:17:15.000 It's skewed to teens.

02:17:16.000 Teens.

02:17:17.000 Yeah.

02:17:18.000 But the thing about it is, I can go on TikTok and watch girls engage in suggestive sexual behavior all day long on TikTok. 0.97

02:17:28.000 Right.

02:17:30.000 And I'm like, but anything with a firearm, regardless whether it's safe or not, They just banned me.

02:17:40.000 Just flat out.

02:17:41.000 And I'm like, what did I do exactly here?

02:17:44.000 Is that anyone on TikTok that chose firearms?

02:17:47.000 Or is it everyone gets banned?

02:17:49.000 I'm assuming so.

02:17:50.000 I don't know because I can't really...

02:17:52.000 I can't peruse it and figure out what else is on there.

02:17:56.000 Because even when I tried to...

02:17:58.000 I tried to...

02:18:00.000 What do you call it?

02:18:02.000 I tried to appeal this decision.

02:18:04.000 And then they just reaffirmed it.

02:18:06.000 And so, it's one of those things that's very frustrating.

02:18:09.000 The funny thing is, X, which I know you don't like being called X, but X don't have that problem.

02:18:15.000 Well, they let porn on you.

02:18:17.000 Yeah, there's that.

02:18:18.000 That's the Wild West over there.

02:18:21.000 I mean, listen, I'm not against it.

02:18:24.000 You do whatever you want.

02:18:25.000 I like the internet.

02:18:27.000 I like the actual internet.

02:18:28.000 I like people being able to show what they're interested in.

02:18:32.000 As long as you're not victimizing someone, as long as you're not doxing people, threatening, all that stuff. 0.90

02:18:37.000 But other than the things that are illegal and should be, you should be able to show whatever the fuck you want.

02:18:43.000 If there's an active gun community, and especially someone like you that promotes responsible gun use and shows people how to handle things correctly, It says you can on TikTok.

02:18:53.000 This is their policy on guns.

02:18:55.000 They do not allow the trade of firearms or explosive weapons or content showing or promoting them if they are not used in a safe or appropriate setting.

02:19:04.000 What does that mean?

02:19:05.000 TikTok can be a place that educates people on the responsible use and ownership of weapons.

02:19:09.000 No, they do not.

02:19:10.000 Well, that's not true.

02:19:11.000 Nope, that's not true at all.

02:19:11.000 Because everything you do is responsible.

02:19:13.000 I've seen 50 of your fucking videos. 1.00

02:19:16.000 I've never seen one irresponsible video. 1.00

02:19:18.000 It's insane.

02:19:19.000 Firearms and explosive weapons can cause severe injury or death, especially when used in an unsafe manner.

02:19:23.000 Exactly.

02:19:24.000 But what you were saying is so important to hear that if you don't see the responsible use of it from someone who knows how to do it and also knows how to teach people that, how is that message going to get out there?

02:19:36.000 That's how people learn how to use them correctly.

02:19:38.000 Exactly.

02:19:38.000 But here we are.

02:19:40.000 Here we are.

02:19:40.000 You know, the irony is at least, like YouTube has its problems.

02:19:45.000 But they're getting better with it.

02:19:47.000 At least YouTube will guide you on, okay, this is what we're okay with and this is what we're not okay with.

02:19:52.000 And then even if they get it wrong, they'll fix it.

02:19:55.000 So does YouTube demonetize any of your videos?

02:19:58.000 Yeah, all the time.

02:19:59.000 Now, I can appeal it.

02:20:01.000 Right?

02:20:02.000 And submit it for a manual review.

02:20:04.000 And then sometimes, like, I have two videos right now that are under manual review.

02:20:08.000 And sometimes they're like, yeah, sometimes they're like, no.

02:20:12.000 And what is their objection to what's in those videos?

02:20:14.000 It's all over the place, honestly.

02:20:16.000 It can be, like, display of extreme violence, right?

02:20:20.000 So, like, I have a series called Defensive Gun Use, where I talk about stories where people who can still carry I think?

02:20:51.000 Right.

02:20:51.000 And so I talk about it from that standpoint that, you know, with Texas, Texas, you can shoot some you can you can defend a third party's property with lethal force under certain contexts.

02:21:03.000 Right.

02:21:03.000 And so I go and explain those contexts.

02:21:05.000 The point of me doing that and then in the same video, I said, but be careful not only in the defense of third parties property, but also in defending third parties.

02:21:13.000 Make sure if you're going to do something like that, you understand that.

02:21:20.000 We're good to go. 0.97

02:21:35.000 And the person might know how to fight, and then they've got the guy on the ground, they're pounding on him, and then you shoot him. 1.00

02:21:39.000 Shoot him, exactly. 0.97

02:21:40.000 And a lot of people don't think about those things. 1.00

02:21:42.000 Not because they're stupid, but because they just may be new to carrying a firearm, and they don't understand that that could be a context that they find themselves in. 0.97

02:21:49.000 Well, that's context of arguments, too. 1.00

02:21:51.000 You can stumble into an argument in the middle of someone screaming at someone, and you're like, hey man, fuck you. 0.99

02:21:56.000 But you don't know what happened before that. 1.00

02:21:58.000 You don't.

02:22:00.000 But for us being able to have those type of conversations in a safe place like online beforehand, now when somebody who watches a video like that, they can watch the video and then they go out and they go...

02:22:12.000 Oh, I remember when so-and-so did a video on this.

02:22:15.000 Okay, maybe before, they may have jumped a gun had they not watched that video.

02:22:18.000 But watching the video, they took an extra step to say, okay, and assess the situation for what it is, and then realize, oh, I read that wrong.

02:22:25.000 Or I had a follower of mine, he actually, I had him on my podcast, my virtual podcast that I do for the gun side of things, and he told me I saved his life.

02:22:37.000 My video saved his life.

02:22:39.000 And he said, the reason why my video saved his life is because for the longest time, he didn't carry with a round in the chamber.

02:22:45.000 And a lot of people I know don't carry a round in the chamber.

02:22:48.000 A lot of my friends don't carry with a round in the chamber.

02:22:50.000 And I started off carrying a gun without carrying a round in the chamber because I felt unsafe doing it.

02:22:55.000 And I understand that dynamic because it's a loaded gun that you're putting in your...

02:23:00.000 God forbid you carry appendix like I do. 1.00

02:23:03.000 It's pointing at your dick. 1.00

02:23:04.000 It's pointing at your dick, right? 1.00

02:23:06.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:23:08.000 But, and I expressed that, look, if you're not going to carry it around the chamber, at least understand the limitations that come with it.

02:23:16.000 Because there are some limitations that come with it.

02:23:17.000 You're not going to be able to get your gun as fast if a situation happens quickly.

02:23:21.000 So you need to understand that.

02:23:22.000 So what does that mean?

02:23:23.000 That means that when you're out and about, you need to be more situationally aware.

02:23:26.000 Probably a little bit more so than, say, someone like me, because I can get to my gun in under a second.

02:23:30.000 It might take you two or three.

02:23:32.000 So it's talking through those type of dynamics.

02:23:35.000 And so after he watched the video, he kind of did an experiment that I said.

02:23:39.000 I said, carry without a round in the chamber for a period of time and then see how often that gun is accidentally engaged.

02:23:46.000 And you'll start to realize that as long as you have a couple of things, you'll be fine.

02:23:50.000 A good holster.

02:24:05.000 We're good to go.

02:24:09.000 Right?

02:24:09.000 But not a lot of people know how to do this.

02:24:11.000 So, for instance, like, I'm in sweats a lot of the time, right?

02:24:13.000 So, I've, over to my experiences, because I have access to so many different guns and so many different holsters, I'm able to experiment.

02:24:21.000 So, I'm like, okay, I'm in sweats a lot.

02:24:22.000 I'm in joggers a lot.

02:24:23.000 What can I do to carry a firearm in a relatively secure way, safely, right?

02:24:30.000 Yeah.

02:24:35.000 Yeah.

02:24:38.000 Yeah.

02:24:39.000 Yeah.

02:24:48.000 You wouldn't know about that otherwise.

02:24:50.000 I know people who carry in sweats and they just stick the gun in there.

02:24:53.000 Right.

02:24:54.000 And they don't know any better.

02:24:56.000 Right.

02:24:56.000 Right?

02:24:56.000 So it's that type of information that our videos are providing.

02:25:00.000 How did it save that dude's life?

02:25:02.000 Oh, gotcha.

02:25:02.000 So as far as saving his life, what he said was after he watched the video, he started carrying with a round in the chamber.

02:25:08.000 And I can't remember if he said a couple weeks ago, a couple weeks later, he's a jeweler.

02:25:13.000 And so as a jeweler, he was selling some jewelry to someone, and it was actually a setup.

02:25:19.000 And there were guys who were coming, they were trying to rob him.

02:25:21.000 So the guys came to rob him, and because he had a round in the chamber, another guy did it.

02:25:26.000 When he was getting ready to pull out, when he was pulling out his gun, his gun was already pulled.

02:25:30.000 And he had a round on the table so he was able to shoot the guy, neutralize him, and get gone. 0.65

02:25:34.000 Wow. 0.67

02:25:34.000 Yeah. 0.67

02:25:35.000 And so I did.

02:25:36.000 I mean, I had him on my...

02:25:37.000 He does a better job of explaining the details.

02:25:39.000 God, that's a split-second difference.

02:25:40.000 Yeah.

02:25:40.000 I mean, shh, shh, shh.

02:25:41.000 And boom. 0.96

02:25:42.000 Exactly.

02:25:43.000 And fractions of a second is what matters in self-defense situations.

02:25:46.000 Especially if you're a jeweler.

02:25:47.000 Jesus Christ.

02:25:48.000 Yeah.

02:25:48.000 And so, you know, he was like, your video saved my life.

02:25:51.000 Now, I'm not going to take the credit for that.

02:25:53.000 I mean, I just...

02:25:54.000 All you did, you made the decision yourself that you felt comfortable with, and that's what you did.

02:25:58.000 But the information he had...

02:26:00.000 To get to that point is what was important.

02:26:02.000 What do you know about the reality of accidental discharge with a P320? So, here's my understanding of the P320. Because I've heard different things,

02:26:18.000 right?

02:26:19.000 Me too.

02:26:19.000 But there's so many stories that are on.

02:26:21.000 Because I carry a SIG. It's in the lineup of my carry rotation of guns, right?

02:26:28.000 Which one?

02:26:29.000 The P365. Okay, the smaller one.

02:26:32.000 No, actually, the P365. The macro?

02:26:33.000 The macro.

02:26:34.000 The one with the larger handle, more rounds.

02:26:36.000 Yes.

02:26:37.000 So, I still carry that one.

02:26:39.000 It's a great gun.

02:26:40.000 Yeah, love it.

02:26:41.000 It's so small.

02:26:42.000 It's so small, but so big.

02:26:44.000 It's a 9mm, and it has all those rounds.

02:26:47.000 Yep, and I'm big on capacity.

02:26:49.000 That's me. 0.99

02:26:49.000 I'm a capacity whore. 0.99

02:26:51.000 You carry it with a dot? 1.00

02:26:53.000 That one, no.

02:26:55.000 It's so slim.

02:26:56.000 Yeah, because I carry that.

02:26:57.000 I carry that one.

02:26:58.000 I carry the Springfield Hillcat Pro.

02:27:00.000 That has a red dot on it.

02:27:01.000 Similar size.

02:27:02.000 Yeah, and then I carry the CS. The.365 is literally smaller than my hand.

02:27:07.000 Yeah, but yet has 17 rounds.

02:27:09.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

02:27:10.000 It's crazy.

02:27:11.000 When I put it in my hand, it's smaller than my hand.

02:27:13.000 Yeah, it's nuts.

02:27:14.000 I call that my flight gun.

02:27:17.000 I have guns for everything.

02:27:18.000 So I have my Voltec case that I have for flying.

02:27:23.000 You know, when you fly with a gun, you have to have a TSA approved case.

02:27:26.000 So that stays in that box.

02:27:29.000 It stays in it.

02:27:30.000 So anytime I travel, because I travel a lot, I already have it there.

02:27:33.000 It's already set up where I need to go.

02:27:35.000 Throw it in my suitcase and I'm good to go.

02:27:36.000 So that's where I keep that.

02:27:38.000 The macro is designated for that gun.

02:27:41.000 And then my go-to's are the CS from Ticato or the Springfield Hellcat Pro.

02:27:47.000 But the 320, does it have the same firing pin setup as the 365?

02:27:52.000 I don't think so.

02:27:53.000 Right.

02:27:53.000 I'm positive it doesn't.

02:27:54.000 Now, they changed it, too.

02:27:57.000 Yeah.

02:28:19.000 Like, when they were holstering it, they had a floppy holster and it got into the trigger guard and it went off, right?

02:28:25.000 There is one story I hear, there is a story of it dropping, landing a specific way, and then gun going off.

02:28:33.000 That's when I think, when that first happened, I think that's when they made the change to the 320s.

02:28:39.000 One of America's favorite handguns allegedly firing on its owners Sig Sauer's P320 pistol has wounded more than 80 people.

02:28:47.000 Again.

02:28:47.000 So they didn't pull the trigger.

02:28:48.000 But who are those people?

02:28:49.000 Right.

02:28:50.000 Well, one of them I watched.

02:28:51.000 There's a video of a cop.

02:28:53.000 Yeah, the cop is in the precinct and he's bending over and it goes off.

02:28:57.000 So I read into that.

02:28:59.000 Please.

02:28:59.000 And I think, and I remember reading, I can't get it confirmed.

02:29:03.000 But I remember reading something to the effect of he had, because one of the things with carrying a firearm when you're coming in and out of a holster, you need to make sure there's nothing impeding the entry of that gun into the holster, because what can happen is your shirt can get caught in the trigger, and when you're putting it in the holster,

02:29:20.000 it creates enough pressure to have the gun go off.

02:29:23.000 It can happen just like that.

02:29:24.000 That's why anytime I go to reholster, I remove my shirt all the way, and I pull my holster out, and I watch every second of that gun going into the holster.

02:29:33.000 I'm never in a rush to put my gun in the holster.

02:29:35.000 There's no point.

02:29:36.000 Because if you're putting the gun up, that means there's no more threat.

02:29:38.000 So I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm making sure everything is clear.

02:29:42.000 Sometimes I'll go so far as to take the holster out, put the gun in, then put the holster back on.

02:29:47.000 Because I'm not...

02:29:48.000 Like I said, I'm not...

02:29:50.000 But this one went off in the holster.

02:29:52.000 It was a duty holster.

02:29:53.000 So it was outside, and so it didn't shoot him.

02:29:55.000 It shot the ground next to him.

02:29:57.000 You could still...

02:29:58.000 I'm not saying this is what happened.

02:29:59.000 But you could still have fabric that gets caught in the outside waistband holster as well.

02:30:04.000 It didn't seem like that was the case.

02:30:06.000 Again, I only read...

02:30:08.000 I read into it a little bit, and that was a theory that somebody had posed or someone saying that that's what happened.

02:30:13.000 I couldn't confirm whether or not that's true or not.

02:30:15.000 But...

02:30:17.000 I don't...

02:30:18.000 There's also guys who do things to triggers.

02:30:20.000 They put different triggers on it.

02:30:22.000 You can do that.

02:30:24.000 If you modify your trigger, you can definitely modify it so too far where you can cause the gun, not necessarily to go off on its own.

02:30:31.000 Some guys like very light triggers.

02:30:33.000 Yeah, but that would just cause the gun to be accidentally automatic.

02:30:36.000 Full automatic, right?

02:30:38.000 And that's very illegal.

02:30:41.000 So from that perspective, but I don't see but for...

02:30:46.000 Something getting caught in that trigger guard.

02:30:48.000 This is just me being a gun guy and understanding holsters and how they function.

02:30:51.000 So there's a couple of things that can take place here.

02:30:54.000 Either that holster is not the right holster for that gun, because the holsters are specific to the gun, generally speaking.

02:31:02.000 Or some piece of material clothing got caught in there that he wasn't aware of.

02:31:07.000 My mind doesn't know how I can justify or explain how the gun just goes off.

02:31:12.000 It was also a physical movement that the guy did.

02:31:14.000 Like, he bent forward.

02:31:16.000 Okay, yeah.

02:31:16.000 I remember seeing that video when he bent forward, and that's what makes me think there may have been a piece of material in the actual holster.

02:31:23.000 Or a janky holster or something.

02:31:25.000 Possibly.

02:31:25.000 Something funky.

02:31:27.000 I remember, because I remember raking my brain, and I'm like, how could that...

02:31:32.000 What could cause it just to go off on its own?

02:31:34.000 Right.

02:31:35.000 Because it's not even like the movement he engaged in was aggressive enough to cause the gun to just jolt and go.

02:31:42.000 Like, for instance, if it dropped.

02:31:44.000 I just can't see how that could be the case.

02:31:47.000 Right.

02:31:47.000 In all of my years of carrying firearms, and I'm pushing 15 years now, I just don't see it.

02:31:55.000 I don't.

02:31:56.000 Dropping it, if it dropped, then I can see that.

02:31:59.000 But what's crazy is it's one gun.

02:32:02.000 That's a good point.

02:32:03.000 Now, that gun is also used in a lot of police departments.

02:32:06.000 Right, but you don't hear about it from Glocks.

02:32:09.000 No.

02:32:10.000 Right?

02:32:11.000 It's weird.

02:32:11.000 That's true.

02:32:12.000 That's very true.

02:32:13.000 Yeah.

02:32:14.000 It's weird.

02:32:15.000 Well, I've never heard of it.

02:32:18.000 I have.

02:32:19.000 Accidental discharge without touching the trigger?

02:32:22.000 Yeah.

02:32:23.000 Was anybody doing anything weird with the gun?

02:32:25.000 Because Glock has a two-stage, too.

02:32:27.000 Yeah, and so is a P320. Right.

02:32:31.000 So, the weird thing about accidental discharges, they're not accidental.

02:32:35.000 They're negligent.

02:32:37.000 Because, generally speaking, because I've heard cops say, the gun just went off.

02:32:43.000 No, you pulled the trigger.

02:32:46.000 We're good to go.

02:33:15.000 And so a lot of...

02:33:17.000 I'm not going to say...

02:33:17.000 I hesitate to say this because I don't have hard data.

02:33:22.000 I just have anecdotal data.

02:33:24.000 But a lot of cops aren't necessarily gun people.

02:33:29.000 A lot of them never shoot their guns outside of the qualification.

02:33:33.000 So outside of that, I can see situations where a lot of cops...

02:33:39.000 I think the gun went off on their own, but they just have bad manipulation skills of a firearm because they haven't ingrained it into their stuff.

02:33:46.000 You give me a toy gun, immediately my index finger is going on the side.

02:33:50.000 It's not touching that trigger.

02:33:51.000 You give me a staple gun.

02:33:53.000 Because I've ingrained it.

02:33:55.000 It's something I've ingrained because I handle firearms so often.

02:33:57.000 Yeah.

02:33:58.000 And a lot of cops don't handle firearms as much as people give them credit for.

02:34:01.000 Right.

02:34:02.000 Yeah, because they're not all gun guys.

02:34:03.000 That's the scary thing, right?

02:34:05.000 Yeah.

02:34:05.000 If guys are on the job and they don't train.

02:34:08.000 Yeah.

02:34:09.000 I've known cops that don't like guns.

02:34:12.000 They only carry it because they have to for their job.

02:34:14.000 How crazy.

02:34:15.000 Right?

02:34:15.000 But then, the person who taught me initially how to shoot, he was a cop.

02:34:20.000 But he's a gun guy.

02:34:21.000 Right.

02:34:21.000 You get what I'm saying?

02:34:22.000 Yes.

02:34:22.000 Big difference.

02:34:24.000 If he told me the gun went off, I'd believe him.

02:34:27.000 Right.

02:34:28.000 But I have a hard time believing, and to answer your question with Glocks, yeah, I've heard cops say, oh, the gun just went off.

02:34:35.000 And I was like, no, it didn't.

02:34:37.000 You put your finger on the trigger, you didn't realize that.

02:34:38.000 But there's way less.

02:34:40.000 And there's also, there's not like P-226s.

02:34:43.000 Yeah, it's very specific to the 320s, which I agree with you.

02:34:47.000 Yeah.

02:34:50.000 I have two or three of them.

02:34:53.000 320s.

02:34:54.000 I have one that I got from Dave Mods.

02:34:57.000 It's nice.

02:34:58.000 I love it.

02:34:58.000 But every time I touch them, I'm like...

02:35:00.000 Now, I've never...

02:35:01.000 I have four, actually.

02:35:05.000 I have about four of them.

02:35:06.000 And...

02:35:08.000 I've never had issues, but I'll be honest and say that's not saying a lot because I don't shoot them often.

02:35:13.000 Right.

02:35:13.000 So me saying I haven't had issues doesn't really give much credence to anything.

02:35:17.000 But I'm more inclined, like you bring up an excellent point that it's so specific to a specific model of gun.

02:35:25.000 And they did a change.

02:35:27.000 Yes.

02:35:28.000 That's also very specific.

02:35:29.000 From a drop standpoint.

02:35:31.000 Right, but there was something going on with the way it cocks. 0.98

02:35:37.000 Yeah.

02:35:37.000 I'm trying to remember what it was.

02:35:40.000 Has it caused accidental fatalities?

02:35:43.000 Not that I'm aware of.

02:35:44.000 Not that I'm aware of.

02:35:46.000 But I'm trying to think.

02:35:51.000 Most people that I talk to, I should say this, for SIG's sake, for the sake of the company, most people that I've talked to are very skeptical.

02:35:59.000 That are actual gun people.

02:36:01.000 I mean, you can hear it in my voice.

02:36:03.000 And everybody I talk to.

02:36:05.000 Jack Carr, all those people that are fans of SIGs.

02:36:08.000 You do make, because I'm a massive fan of SIG. They make great guns.

02:36:11.000 You bring a great point, though.

02:36:13.000 The fact that it's exclusive to that.

02:36:15.000 To one model.

02:36:16.000 Yeah, it's interesting.

02:36:18.000 That said...

02:36:21.000 I don't know, I'm still skeptical enough that I would still, I'd still carry it.

02:36:25.000 Right, and it's also a thing where it's like, if it really was happening, how was it only 80 people?

02:36:33.000 Right?

02:36:34.000 How many 320's are out there in active duty just with cops?

02:36:37.000 How many 320's do people have for home defense?

02:36:39.000 That's what makes me think.

02:36:40.000 How many people carry 320's?

02:36:42.000 It's a common gun to carry.

02:36:43.000 But that's what makes me think.

02:36:46.000 I promise you if you look into those numbers, the vast majority of those 80 are cops.

02:36:52.000 I'm almost positive the vast majority of them are going to be cops.

02:36:55.000 Well, and I look at it the same way, the way you look at guns, the same way I look at martial arts with cops. 0.89

02:37:00.000 There is nothing that drives me more fucking crazy than cops that don't know how to defend themselves and have zero knowledge of grappling and get into exchange with someone and then they're on their back and they don't know what to do. 0.71

02:37:11.000 Like, how did you sign up for this without a rudimentary understanding, at least of grappling? 0.99

02:37:18.000 You don't know what the fuck to do? 0.97

02:37:20.000 You're engaging with someone physically and you don't know how to control them? 0.99

02:37:23.000 Are you hoping they listen?

02:37:24.000 If I was a cop, I'd be in it.

02:37:26.000 Like, my friend that taught me how to shoot, he's a fighter.

02:37:29.000 He fights.

02:37:30.000 That's gotta be part of the job, man.

02:37:33.000 You know, that's one of the things that Andrew Yang proposed when he was running for president.

02:37:38.000 He was like, I think that all cops should be at least purple belt level of jiu-jitsu.

02:37:42.000 I'm like, preach!

02:37:44.000 Preach!

02:37:45.000 But realistically, Right.

02:37:48.000 You get what I'm saying? 0.99

02:37:49.000 That's a long fucking road, Jack. 1.00

02:37:51.000 That's a long road. 1.00

02:37:52.000 That's a long road, Jack.

02:37:53.000 And we can barely get enough cops now as it is.

02:37:55.000 Just to not be fat.

02:37:58.000 Right?

02:37:58.000 How many cops this year are just morbidly obese?

02:38:00.000 Which I think is insanity.

02:38:02.000 It's insanity.

02:38:03.000 Like, literally part of your tools for your job is for you to be able to use your body to defend yourself and others and to be able to detain someone.

02:38:12.000 And you can't do it?

02:38:15.000 Couldn't be me. 0.96

02:38:17.000 At any moment, you could be getting shot at, bro. 0.75

02:38:20.000 At any moment.

02:38:22.000 Or someone would try to take your gun from you.

02:38:25.000 I mean, if your gun is in your holster, and your hands are on me, and you don't know how to fight, you're never getting to that gun.

02:38:34.000 You're not going to get to that gun.

02:38:36.000 How are you going to get to that gun?

02:38:37.000 You don't have a chance in hell. 0.66

02:38:39.000 I'm going to overhook that right arm, and that's a wrap. 0.91

02:38:42.000 That's a wrap.

02:38:43.000 Now you're helpless.

02:38:46.000 And I learned that the first day I started doing Jiu Jitsu.

02:38:48.000 Especially if you're wearing clothes? 1.00

02:38:50.000 You're wearing clothes and someone has a good overhook and they fucking cinch that bitch down? 1.00

02:38:55.000 That's a wrap. 1.00

02:38:55.000 You ain't going nowhere. 1.00

02:38:57.000 You're going nowhere.

02:38:58.000 And then you get tripped and now you're on your back?

02:39:02.000 And then some guy rotates so he can grab your gun and you can't even grab it?

02:39:05.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:39:05.000 You better have a retention level 10 on that motherfucker. 1.00

02:39:08.000 And you better, yeah, yeah. 0.99

02:39:09.000 That's an interesting thing, right?

02:39:11.000 The retention holsters, where people have holsters that are, there's a very specific way.

02:39:16.000 Specific way to get it out.

02:39:17.000 Yeah.

02:39:18.000 That scares me in a high-pressure situation, too.

02:39:21.000 I mean, it's one of the things you can train to.

02:39:23.000 Because the same thing can be said about 1911s, because they have a safety.

02:39:26.000 Right.

02:39:27.000 But doesn't your thumb always go on there?

02:39:29.000 Yes, that's the thing about 1911. So safeties on polymer-style guns aren't necessarily the same as the ones...

02:39:35.000 Where you have to click it?

02:39:36.000 Yeah, because they're a lot smaller.

02:39:38.000 They're not very intuitive.

02:39:39.000 And you're like, ah, click!

02:39:40.000 With the 1911, if I were to draw the gun right now, it's just already on it, so it's going to drop.

02:39:47.000 Whereas with polymer guns, you're kind of fishing for it.

02:39:49.000 Like, where's this thing?

02:39:50.000 Oh, there it goes.

02:39:51.000 But yeah, it's...

02:39:53.000 Man, I... I'm trying to think.

02:40:01.000 Because I remember I had a Beretta.

02:40:03.000 I was doing a shooting course, a training house.

02:40:05.000 And one of the scenarios was I was supposed to clear this house.

02:40:08.000 And they gave me a Beretta.

02:40:10.000 And it had a safety on it.

02:40:11.000 And I remember going and clearing through the house.

02:40:14.000 And then it was a blue gun.

02:40:16.000 It functioned like a gun, but it didn't shoot bullets.

02:40:19.000 And a guy popped around a corner.

02:40:21.000 I was like, oh, shh!

02:40:22.000 Pulled the gun.

02:40:23.000 Gun wouldn't go off.

02:40:24.000 I got to take the safety off.

02:40:26.000 Ooh.

02:40:27.000 Yeah.

02:40:27.000 Well, that's what training's for.

02:40:28.000 Exactly.

02:40:29.000 So same thing with the retention holster.

02:40:30.000 It's like you want to train.

02:40:32.000 How does a retention holster work exactly?

02:40:34.000 So there are different levels, right?

02:40:36.000 So there's like one, two, three, level four, level one, level two, level three, level four, right?

02:40:41.000 So like the lowest amount is just you have a gun in a holster, right?

02:40:45.000 And you literally turn it upside down, it'll fall out.

02:40:48.000 Then you have the kind of like the Kydex holsters where you put it in, you hear that click, that kind of like click.

02:40:52.000 So all you need is just a good tug and it comes out.

02:40:55.000 Then you have other ones where when you come down on the holster, there's a button because there's like a little thing that goes over the back end of the gun.

02:41:05.000 So even if you pull it out, it's not coming out.

02:41:07.000 And so when you come down on the holster, you push the button and it flips out of the way so that you can pull the gun out.

02:41:13.000 I think there's another level that's even more than that.

02:41:17.000 There's a little ring on it, and there's a hood, and you've got to remove that.

02:41:21.000 They're designed where if the gun's on you, it's one motion.

02:41:28.000 But if it's a gun that's not on you, you're going to be in such an angle, you're going to have a hard time getting to that button, to that thing, to be able to get the gun out.

02:41:38.000 And like I said, they start at level one all the way up to level four.

02:41:43.000 Anybody can get them.

02:41:44.000 You can go to a store and get them.

02:41:46.000 If I open-carried, I don't open-carry generally.

02:41:51.000 I don't actually really open carry at all.

02:41:52.000 The only time I've ever open carried is when I'm out in the country or something like that.

02:41:59.000 Or in some rural environment.

02:42:02.000 But generally speaking, if I were to open carry, I would have at least a level 3, level 4 retention holster.

02:42:09.000 Because I've seen too many videos, I've done too many videos on people who are in a gas station and they're open carrying and then somebody comes up behind them, grabs a gun and runs.

02:42:20.000 Oh, yeah.

02:42:21.000 You know what I'm saying?

02:42:22.000 I saw a guy at a convenience store in a video.

02:42:24.000 A guy had it in his lower back.

02:42:26.000 A guy snatched his gun and just ran out the door.

02:42:28.000 You can't even chase him.

02:42:31.000 What are you going to do?

02:42:32.000 Give me back my gun.

02:42:33.000 Unless you have one on your ankle, too.

02:42:35.000 Exactly.

02:42:36.000 And, you know, it's one of those things.

02:42:38.000 And that's a hotly contested debate in the gun space.

02:42:42.000 Should you or should you not open carry?

02:42:44.000 What are the benefits and what are the drawbacks?

02:42:46.000 Because one mindset says...

02:42:48.000 If you open carry, you're going to be the first target for a criminal.

02:42:52.000 But then another person comes up and says, if you open carry, you're going to be the last target because criminals are like, I want a weak target.

02:43:00.000 I don't want somebody who already has a gun.

02:43:01.000 I see he has a gun.

02:43:02.000 I'm going to find somebody else.

02:43:03.000 Especially if they have situational awareness.

02:43:05.000 Exactly.

02:43:05.000 And that is...

02:43:08.000 And it's so easy to say because situational awareness can get you out of a lot of shit where you never even have to go to your gut. 0.98

02:43:16.000 It really can. 0.99

02:43:18.000 I had a situation where I was followed where dudes were trying to rob me.

02:43:22.000 You told me about that.

02:43:23.000 Yeah.

02:43:24.000 And only I really believe, if not for my situational awareness, I call it paranoia.

02:43:30.000 Sometimes paranoia will help.

02:43:31.000 I do not discount my paranoia.

02:43:34.000 I accept it fully.

02:43:36.000 I accept it full because when I'm right, it's my best friend.

02:43:38.000 Well, it's also crime is reality.

02:43:40.000 Yeah.

02:43:41.000 And the idea that you won't come across crime because you're a good person, that's nuts.

02:43:45.000 You zig when you should have zagged and you're around the wrong people.

02:43:48.000 Because if I didn't pick them up, they would have caught me slipping because I would have been...

02:43:54.000 It would've been a wrap.

02:43:55.000 And there wouldn't be nothing I can do about it.

02:43:57.000 I could have had 15 guns on me.

02:43:59.000 Wouldn't have mattered.

02:43:59.000 Wouldn't have mattered at all.

02:44:00.000 The thing that sucks, though, is in the moment for someone like me, it just goes to show you, and this is pretty pervasive in all the guys in the gun community.

02:44:09.000 In that moment when they were chasing me, the whole time I'm thinking through, not only I want to get out of this situation alive, I'm literally thinking, what are the legal Right.

02:44:26.000 Right.

02:44:27.000 Right.

02:44:43.000 You should have known.

02:44:44.000 You're a concealed carrier.

02:44:46.000 Right?

02:44:46.000 So there's so many things that, like, when you are a concealed carrier or someone who just carries a gun, you're already behind an eight ball.

02:44:56.000 All a criminal has to do is wake up and decide, I'm going to go engage in some criminal shit. 0.99

02:44:59.000 I'm going to find somebody. 1.00

02:45:00.000 I'm going to attack them. 0.99

02:45:01.000 They know exactly what they're going to do. 0.95

02:45:02.000 They know exactly what they're going to bring.

02:45:03.000 I'm just living my life.

02:45:11.000 Right.

02:45:14.000 Right.

02:45:18.000 Right.

02:45:29.000 They haven't done anything to warrant to justify me.

02:45:32.000 They could have just been chasing me just to have fun.

02:45:34.000 I don't know.

02:45:35.000 And so I have to think about those things as a legal, responsible gun owner.

02:45:41.000 Criminals don't.

02:45:43.000 So it always pisses me off that these politicians make laws that make it even harder to For legal gun owners to exercise that right.

02:45:53.000 Like, these laws don't do anything but make it harder for us because we obey laws.

02:45:56.000 Like, what law specifically?

02:45:58.000 Like, just even the process of acquiring a firearm.

02:46:00.000 Like, why are you...

02:46:00.000 First of all, like, in California, why would you limit my round count to 10 rounds?

02:46:04.000 Yeah.

02:46:05.000 Like, you're making it harder for me.

02:46:06.000 If I'm being chased in a vehicle, I don't know how many people are in that car.

02:46:10.000 Generally speaking, when criminals are engaging in criminal activity, it's not by themselves.

02:46:14.000 Right.

02:46:15.000 There's multiple.

02:46:15.000 I'm largely going to be by myself dealing with multiple people.

02:46:18.000 What is the logic to limiting round capacities?

02:46:21.000 It's purely, purely based on mass shootings.

02:46:25.000 They figure the less rounds you have in a gun, the less people die.

02:46:30.000 That's what they think.

02:46:31.000 Because every mass shooter that they see, they say, oh, they had this 30-round magazine, which is the standard capacity for a lot of these guns.

02:46:37.000 It's because they had so many bullets that they were able to kill so many people.

02:46:40.000 That's not true.

02:46:42.000 Generally speaking, when you have a high body count in a mass shooting, it is the context and the circumstance of the shooting that caused it.

02:46:48.000 Well, wasn't the Virginia Tech one of the most horrific mass shootings?

02:46:53.000 Yes.

02:46:53.000 And the guy had...

02:46:54.000 36 people.

02:46:55.000 He killed 36 people.

02:46:56.000 With pistols.

02:46:56.000 With pistols, right?

02:46:57.000 And then they'll go on...

02:46:58.000 He just kept reloading.

02:46:59.000 Yeah.

02:47:00.000 That's all he did.

02:47:00.000 But the thing is, what made him so deadly, what people don't talk about, is he chained the doors.

02:47:07.000 He chained them.

02:47:08.000 So he had free reign of that school for who knows how long.

02:47:12.000 And so all those people can do is hide in corners.

02:47:14.000 And he literally walked in classrooms, just start picking people off.

02:47:18.000 Where were they going to go?

02:47:19.000 Right.

02:47:20.000 Right?

02:47:20.000 He's the only one with guns.

02:47:21.000 He just starts shooting people one by one, one by one.

02:47:23.000 And the cops who were outside trying to get him, they can't get in the building because he chain locked the door.

02:47:27.000 So it wasn't the fact that he had a 30 round magazine in his gun.

02:47:32.000 It was the fact that he chained the door and nobody can get in to stop him.

02:47:35.000 Right.

02:47:35.000 Right?

02:47:35.000 And so, and then those were handguns.

02:47:39.000 But they talk about, oh, it's these deadly assault rifles and so forth and so on.

02:47:43.000 Did you see those ladies on The View talking about ARs, like hunting a deer with an AR? There's not going to be anything left of it.

02:47:49.000 Some people shouldn't just be part of the conversation. 0.61

02:47:51.000 But imagine having that conversation and being that ignorant openly and not even understanding that a.226 is not even... 0.72

02:47:59.000 You can barely hunt ethically a deer with a.233 round. 0.63

02:48:04.000 Yes, it's two, two, three, or five, five, six.

02:48:07.000 Yeah.

02:48:07.000 They're not big rounds.

02:48:08.000 They're not at all.

02:48:09.000 They're actually really small.

02:48:11.000 Yeah.

02:48:11.000 That's the crazy thing.

02:48:12.000 That's what's crazy.

02:48:13.000 They're actually really small.

02:48:13.000 Somehow or another, they think you're shooting a cannon.

02:48:16.000 No. 1.00

02:48:17.000 It's so dumb. 1.00

02:48:18.000 But it's ignorance. 1.00

02:48:19.000 Right.

02:48:20.000 And I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were open to having a conversation honestly.

02:48:24.000 Well, they're pushing a narrative that is based entirely on ignorance.

02:48:29.000 Yeah.

02:48:30.000 But that's...

02:48:32.000 That's mainstream media for you.

02:48:34.000 Yeah.

02:48:35.000 I've been dealing with it for 10 plus years.

02:48:38.000 When it comes to the conversation about firearms in this country, that is the mainstream media narrative and it doesn't change.

02:48:43.000 And it's also the idea that you wouldn't hunt with one.

02:48:46.000 Listen, hunting with one, especially in a.308, an AR in a.308, it's a good ethical move because you need a follow-up shot sometimes and you don't have to go...

02:48:57.000 You don't have to reload it.

02:48:58.000 Exactly.

02:48:59.000 There's a lot of people in the hunting space that don't like semi-automatic weapons for hunting, but I'm like, why? 0.98

02:49:05.000 It's the dumbest thing to me. 0.88

02:49:07.000 If you want to shoot an animal ethically, having the ability for a follow-up shot instantaneously is a benefit to ethics. 0.99

02:49:15.000 I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they grew up with those hunting guns and are not comfortable with semi-automatics because they don't really know about them very much.

02:49:23.000 And so they're like, nobody needs that.

02:49:25.000 Well, there's the two groups, right?

02:49:27.000 The FUDs, Elmer Fudd, the Hunters, and then people who are gun fanatics.

02:49:32.000 Exactly.

02:49:33.000 And, you know, it's, like I said, I would have a problem with the ignorance if they were willing to have the conversation, right?

02:49:40.000 At least be open to, say, having someone like me or somebody else from the space to come on.

02:49:44.000 But usually when they have the conversations, they're just chicken-balking amongst each other and not really getting anywhere.

02:49:50.000 They don't know what they're talking about.

02:49:51.000 And on top of that, they demonize anybody that has a differing perspective.

02:49:54.000 And they won't have an actual good faith conversation about it.

02:49:58.000 And if they did, they would find out that they're solely uninformed.

02:50:01.000 And they're unwilling to accept the narrative that some people do save people's lives with guns.

02:50:07.000 A ton of people.

02:50:07.000 To the tune of 1.63 million every year, people use a gun in self-defense.

02:50:14.000 Nobody talks about that.

02:50:16.000 Yeah.

02:50:16.000 Nobody.

02:50:17.000 They talk about the 40,000 people who die every day, die every year from gun violence.

02:50:22.000 But even when you break those numbers down, you see the reality of it.

02:50:25.000 The mass shooting numbers are severely distorted, too, because people don't understand most of these mass shootings are gang violence.

02:50:32.000 Dude, I did a video where I remember there was a, I forgot the actual shooting, there was a mass shooting, a legit one.

02:50:39.000 Legit mass shooting.

02:50:40.000 It was like a couple weeks ago.

02:50:43.000 And it's about three weeks ago.

02:50:45.000 And they were saying, and the report was, there have been five mass shootings since 2024. We're only a week into 2000. I think we were only like five, four days into 2024. And they were like,

02:51:01.000 there have already been five mass shootings.

02:51:03.000 So I said...

02:51:04.000 That don't sound right.

02:51:06.000 If there were five mass shootings within five days of 2024, I'd know about it.

02:51:11.000 So I was like, okay.

02:51:13.000 So it was a CNN article.

02:51:15.000 So I go and I look at the hyperlink that they used to quote that stat.

02:51:21.000 And it was like gun violence archive or something like that.

02:51:24.000 So I click it.

02:51:25.000 And so they list the five incidents.

02:51:28.000 So I was like, alright.

02:51:29.000 The problem is they don't expect people to go three, four layers deep into the rabbit hole.

02:51:33.000 They expect that you just see the link there.

02:51:35.000 Oh, that solidifies it.

02:51:37.000 I don't even need to look at what the actual incidents were.

02:51:39.000 They're correct.

02:51:41.000 So I click it, and I go to the first incident.

02:51:44.000 It was like a drive-by.

02:51:46.000 I go to the second incident.

02:51:47.000 It was a fight at a party.

02:51:49.000 Next incident, drive-by.

02:51:51.000 Next incident, New Year's Eve party, LA. Drive-by.

02:51:55.000 No, a dispute between two group of people and then turnout was a shooting. 1.00

02:52:01.000 Basically, street shit. 0.99

02:52:03.000 The only one that was actually the mass shooting, like a legit mass shooting, was the one that the initial article was about. 0.99

02:52:11.000 So basically what they did is they took four of these street violence shootings, And then cluster them in and call them mass shootings.

02:52:20.000 Right.

02:52:20.000 And by the way, you're never going to stop street violence until you stop disparaged communities.

02:52:25.000 It's not happening.

02:52:27.000 You're never going to stop street violence until...

02:52:29.000 I mean, I've said this so many times, but I'll say it one more time.

02:52:31.000 Think about the money we've sent to Ukraine.

02:52:34.000 And imagine if they put that money into cleaning up inner cities and making them safer.

02:52:40.000 Do people really think... 0.99

02:52:44.000 That motherfucking kids who grow up in these environments really want to live like that. 0.99

02:52:47.000 Exactly. 0.99

02:52:48.000 Like they really want to live their life looking over their shoulder.

02:52:51.000 Exactly.

02:52:51.000 And having to worry about who's trying to kill them.

02:52:54.000 Do they really think people want to live like that?

02:52:57.000 Come on.

02:52:58.000 It's a convenient narrative.

02:53:00.000 It's a convenient narrative.

02:53:01.000 And it's also like they do nothing to fix those spots.

02:53:06.000 Nothing.

02:53:07.000 And who are those places run by?

02:53:10.000 Democrats.

02:53:11.000 And I hate the fact that I even have to say it.

02:53:15.000 It's so true. 0.84

02:53:15.000 But the only reason I say it is because when I look at who was pushing the narrative for gun control, it is always a Democrat. 0.84

02:53:24.000 Always.

02:53:25.000 Which is fine, okay?

02:53:28.000 If that's the way the party wants to lean, cool.

02:53:31.000 But what I have a problem with is when the vast majority of gun murders in this country are coming from inner cities that are all ran by Democrats, that's where I have a problem.

02:53:44.000 Because you're pushing legislation, you're pushing policies that do nothing to address the root cause of the issue.

02:53:51.000 You're literally using...

02:53:54.000 The deplorable conditions in these environments to justify more gun control policies that will do nothing to fix these environments but give you more control over people.

02:54:03.000 And put responsible gun owners in danger.

02:54:06.000 Exactly.

02:54:07.000 Or turn us into criminals.

02:54:09.000 Right.

02:54:10.000 Because you're making convoluted laws. 0.99

02:54:12.000 Nobody knows shit. 0.99

02:54:14.000 You know how many people call and ask me, I'm going to this state. 0.99

02:54:17.000 I'm going to California.

02:54:18.000 Can I carry this?

02:54:19.000 Can I bring this?

02:54:20.000 Can I do...

02:54:21.000 It's so convoluted and all over the place.

02:54:23.000 Nobody knows how to not break the laws when it comes to guns.

02:54:27.000 So it begs the question, are you trying to create criminals?

02:54:30.000 Right.

02:54:31.000 Because that's what it seems like.

02:54:32.000 Because you're clearly not trying to stop any of it because you have an entire environment over here that has the same consistent problem.

02:54:39.000 It's not like the inner city in like Chicago is so different from like the inner city in like Louisiana.

02:54:45.000 Right. 1.00

02:54:46.000 It's the same shit, the same problems. 1.00

02:54:48.000 So if we understand that and they're happening in these very specific areas, why the fuck are we still talking about gun control? 1.00

02:54:55.000 Why? 0.97

02:54:56.000 There are so many people who have more guns than food who live in other places in this country and they don't have this gun violence problem.

02:55:07.000 They don't.

02:55:08.000 When's the last time you saw a black dude who lived in the suburbs doing drive-bys in a BMW? Right. 1.00

02:55:13.000 You don't see it.

02:55:15.000 Right.

02:55:15.000 So that tells you there's a totally different issue here that's going on, and you're not willing to address it.

02:55:22.000 And if you're not going to address the real issue, shut the fuck up about guns, because you don't care. 0.98

02:55:29.000 You have a totally different motivation for why you're pushing it. 0.99

02:55:32.000 It has nothing to do with actually saving lives.

02:55:34.000 Right.

02:55:35.000 It has to do with a narrative that your ideology accepts openly, which is that guns are the problem.

02:55:40.000 Yep.

02:55:41.000 And that's it.

02:55:41.000 And it's a childish perspective.

02:55:45.000 Exceedingly childish.

02:55:46.000 Yeah. 0.88

02:55:47.000 And it's not only childish, it's getting people killed.

02:55:51.000 Because at the end of the day, that violence has to go somewhere.

02:55:56.000 It has to.

02:55:57.000 You can only rob the people in the environment that you're in for so long before you have to start spreading out.

02:56:02.000 So now what's ended up happening is you have people who are now forced to confront this type of violence without any means to protect themselves.

02:56:12.000 So your policies are actually hurting people and causing more lives to be taken. 0.99

02:56:17.000 So, as far as I'm concerned, anything they have to say about the issue until they're willing to talk about the root cause of the issue is bullshit. 0.99

02:56:25.000 You couldn't have said it better. 0.98

02:56:26.000 It's as good as anyone could say it.

02:56:28.000 I think it's a good way to wrap this up.

02:56:30.000 Because I think that that narrative is not being discussed openly.

02:56:34.000 And I think it's logical, and I think you're dead right.

02:56:36.000 And I think the root cause of it is these crime-infested, gang-infested neighborhoods where people don't have hope.

02:56:43.000 Everybody wants to ignore it and just say, that's just the culture, it's the environment.

02:56:47.000 Yes, maybe, but there's a reason why that culture started in the first place. 0.98

02:56:51.000 And so until we understand what's driving it, look, if we're really just like, hey, we just don't give a fuck, then say that. 0.96

02:56:58.000 Then at least we know we're on that level, we understand that. 0.99

02:57:01.000 You just don't give a fuck. 1.00

02:57:02.000 If we can let them kill themselves off, fuck them. 1.00

02:57:04.000 But if your job is really wanting to save lives and really wanting to minimize the amount of gun violence in this country, If you're not willing to have that conversation honestly, you're full of shit. 1.00

02:57:16.000 You're full of shit. 1.00

02:57:18.000 Preach. 1.00

02:57:23.000 And I think it's important to get your side of things out there because it's logical.

02:57:28.000 It's educated. 1.00

02:57:29.000 You know what the fuck you're talking about and you don't hear it. 1.00

02:57:32.000 It's hard to hear. 1.00

02:57:33.000 It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

02:57:36.000 Well, thanks for providing.

02:57:37.000 Appreciate you.
