On this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the boys discuss the return of the city of Detroit, Michigan, and the future of the auto industry in the United States. Also, the guys talk about the new electric F-150 truck and how it's going to take over the world.
00:00:40.000about Detroit, like in the 1950s and 1960s, it was the third richest city in the world.
00:00:45.000Well, yeah, it was called the Paris of the Midwest.
00:00:48.000And it's a city that's still built for seven million people with supposedly seven hundred thousand living in it.
00:00:54.000I mean, so you do see a lot of like, how's there like a million dollar condo in the same place that has like eight abandoned other apartments?
00:01:02.000When you go downtown, it makes no sense logistically.
00:01:04.000Have you ever watched that show, Top Gear?
00:02:06.000It's a prime example of, like, that was the American dream.
00:02:10.000And then they're like, we'll just assemble them in Mexico, but we'll write Made in America on your door, so you're gonna feel good about it.
00:02:17.000Did they even write Made in America on the door?
00:04:08.000It's a Model S, but it's a plaid that was sent to a company called Unplugged Performance.
00:04:13.000And Unplugged Performance takes the fenders off, puts carbon fiber wider fenders, changes the suspension to like a race based suspension, puts wide tires on it and wider wheels, upgrades the brakes to these huge carbon fiber disks because it's a very he heavy car.
00:04:27.000I was going to say, so it's heavier as opposed to lighter like a race car.
00:04:31.000Well, it's heavier because Teslas are very heavy because of the batteries.
00:04:34.000But because the batteries are on the bottom, the center of gravity, the car is phenomenal.
00:04:41.000It's like one of the best balanced cars you could ever drive, and the self driving is bananas.
00:05:03.000And then I go, now this is what's really crazy.
00:05:05.000I put in the destination and I just say, take me to the Comedy mothership and then I press a button and it goes tutu and when I go it goes tutu it just does it on its own changes lanes stops at red lights it it's crazy it moves around obstructions really yeah yeah because I remember the first ones that were like you know barreling over bikers yeah it's still based on camera so you could fool it with the camera you could fool the camera rather so some guy set up a mural in
00:05:36.000the desert so what he did was he had the highway and then he made a mural that looked like the highway and the car just ran right through the mural oh I saw that that was great he made it look yeah and they he put a Woody Woodpecker to the side of it.
00:05:50.000Like he just pulled He just drew the tunnel, it was hysterical.
00:05:54.000And the thing went right into the tunnel.
00:08:01.000You know, the problem is some people get to a certain point in their life and they have no friends and no community and no identity and no life.
00:08:07.000And it's not, they're not successful and they feel like shit.
00:08:10.000And then they have gender dysphoria on top of that.
00:08:13.000And then they're probably on a bunch of SSRIs, which RMK Jr. is going to apparently do some sort of a large scale research into the connection between mass shootings and psychiatric drugs because it is real and everyone knows it and it's just this dirty secret that no one talks about because all the media is paid off by the pharmaceutical drug companies and nobody wants to make this correlation connection because you also risk the wrath of all these people that are on them
00:08:43.000saying I'm on them and I'm not doing anything.
00:09:23.000It wants me like really like I gained weight.
00:09:26.000I was doing like really bad mentally for a while because of certain things.
00:09:29.000And it was, I took myself off of them for five days and I felt good.
00:09:34.000And then I got really crazy and really nauseous.
00:09:36.000Like my brain started kind of missfire.
00:09:39.000So now I'm weaning it off a little more correctly, as opposed to just going cold turkey.
00:09:44.000So after five days, like, what is happening where it makes your brain crazy?
00:09:48.000Like, I was stuttering, I was slipping up, I was having trouble seeing.
00:09:54.000Did you like go online and see if there's any correct way to do this?
00:09:57.000Yeah, they said to wean it off where whatever your thing is, take that and then bust a pill in half, take that for seven days, bust a pill in half, take that for seven days, and that's what I'm doing now.
00:10:07.000And I already feel better being on less.
00:10:10.000But I was told for the last ten years that that's what I should be on, and I think it's had a very negative effectect to me.
00:11:21.000She was on, yeah, she was on antidepressants and she was bipolar.
00:11:24.000But they had her misdiagnosed as depressive too.
00:11:29.000Because I was like, I think she's bipolar.
00:11:30.000And they're like, how do you know?, I lived with her for 30 years and I know the mood swings because I grew up in a house where, like, you came home and she was either the happiest woman on the planet or you were fucking terrified.
00:11:42.000Like, it was one or the other, you know?
00:11:44.000And that's just, and she wasn't a bad person.
00:12:06.000denied both of my mom's claims my dad lost all of his money like it was he was worth like four million i think he lost everything and uh it was to pay out of pocket like when and he got sick when i was 13 he was like our baseball coach everything so he would go around the like country going to like uh cambridge had a very good uh neurosurgery place for the brainstem uh university of michigan and ann arbor had one so he wasn't as present a lot my mom was dealing with that on top of being an RN.
00:12:37.000Like, he would have one of those Halos droves.
00:12:39.000drilled in and he'd still go golfing and shit like he'd just be on the course oh my god and i'd be like what are you doing it's like it's not bad i don't pick my It's not bad, I don't pick my head up anymore.
00:12:50.000He's like, you see the bright side of it.
00:12:53.000Dude, he would find the positive in anything.
00:13:20.000And then the more I research it, we've talked to the VA.
00:13:23.000I have an uncle who does stuff, former Marine, four people that I have dealt with this from Vietnam because they denied so many claims that ended up being real.
00:13:32.000Like soft cell sarcoma was one of the things where they said, oh, we didn't do that.
00:14:40.000I think that's the real reason why we were in Afghanistan as well.
00:14:42.000Oh, I would assume, yeah, because that's the poppy fields.
00:14:45.000I don't want to say it's the only reason.
00:14:48.000I'm sure there's other, there's military reasons, there's rare earth minerals in Afghanistan, there's natural gas, there's a lot of resources in Afghanistan.
00:14:56.000But there's a lot of heroin coming out of there.
00:15:00.000That was at one point in time, 94% of the Earth's heroin supply was coming from the place that we were guarding.
00:15:07.000We were literally guarding the poppy fields, military, U.S. military guarding the poppy fields that was supplying heroin to 94% of the Earth.
00:15:24.000But the rest is Afghanistan, and that's how you're getting every drug in the world into the US as far as, you know, actually making opioids.
00:15:34.000Because in the nineties, I worked in a pharmacy, which was a great place for a drug addict, especially when they weren't counting the pills.
00:15:41.000So you just say, like, hey, I gotta go, uh, take out the trash, and you just, like, open up a bottle like Valium or Percocet's and just, you know, fill your cellophane.
00:15:49.000The Golden Triangle, the remote jungle covered border region where Thailand, Myanmar, and Lao People's Democratic Republic meet has been, has seen an exponential surge in the manufacture and traffic of synthetic drugs.
00:16:07.000That I guarantee you, that had a there was a major reason why we were in Vietnam.
00:16:13.000There was so much money coming out of there and the idea that some corrupt factions of either the military or the intelligence agencies or whoever it is, and I'm not saying the agencies or the military themselves, I'm saying corrupt factions, because there's always going to be those.
00:16:28.000Just like when the CIA sold drugs in South Central LA to pay for the Contras versus the Sandinistas.
00:17:17.000And he served the longest time because Coleman Young was pissed he was dating his niece.
00:17:23.000So he goes he goes away and then while he's in jail they have him sign a thing that said he stole a car so his sister didn't have to go to jail.
00:17:34.000So finally they let him out for all this wrongdoing that he never did this sentence that was batshit and then he has to go right from that jail to Chicago to serve time for stealing a car while he was in prison.

00:21:21.000I wonder if there's like weed store wars.
00:21:26.000They're all on the same street together.
00:21:28.000Well, I was just in Albuquerque last weekend and they had the same thing where I'm like, so it's weed store, massage parlor, vape store, buy here, rent here, car lock, buy here, pay here, weed store, weed store, weed store.
00:21:41.000It's crazy how legal it is in a state.
00:21:59.000If the federal government just changed the designation or distinction or whatever you would say it is, like from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 or something like that, which is reasonable, that's what they should do.
00:22:10.000Well, the whole thing is ridiculous, and that's how you get organized crime.
00:23:25.000They were the Bernstein brothers, their parents owned a shoe store.
00:23:28.000And like the legend is they were called Purple because that was the color of rancid meat.
00:23:32.000So they hated the name because they thought it sounded gay.
00:23:35.000But they still like, they still ran with it.
00:23:38.000But when you see pictures of them all lined up in like mugshots, like they would do stuff like walk up to someone and be like, hey, I like your ring.
00:24:16.000They did a mob museum thing on it, and I went and saw in Vegas.
00:24:19.000Like that book right there, The Organized Crime in Detroit, that's a great book, and it's got a lot of fun fun photos, but yeah, they were as ruthless as you could absolutely get.
00:24:30.000Go to that first picture in the upper left hand corner and make it big.
00:25:27.000Yeah, like they were nice to my dad and stuff when he was young and, you know, like when he had got back from Nom and, you know, they're just nice people that I knew.
00:26:06.000You'd be way better off if drugs were legal and then you knew exactly what you were getting.
00:26:10.000Because these kids are getting fentanyl because I had this guy, Ed called around the other day, who's an expert in the cartels, and he said they started adding fententanyl because they had grown so many poppies that the soil had been depleted.
00:26:30.000And the desire for all that stuff was all because of the Sackler brothers.
00:26:33.000So the Sackler brothers, when they created this opiate crisis in America, which didn't exist before, where everybody's hooked on these fucking pills, then they started cracking down the laws.
00:26:44.000So now you have a demand and you don't have a supply.
00:26:46.000And then along comes the cartel and starts making pills.
00:26:50.000And they start making pills with fentanyl in them.
00:26:52.000Because their heroin is not that strong.
00:26:54.000Xanax, Percocet, all these things the kids don't know.
00:26:56.000There's things that kids don't know they're taking.
00:27:03.000You get those pressed Zanis that look just like a bar and it's just complete fentanyl.
00:27:08.000And I when I remember when fentanyl, I shouldn't say first came out, it's been around, but it first started becoming, they put it in products you weren't expecting.
00:27:17.000And I had like three friends die within a matter of maybe four months.
00:27:22.000And that's how I started noticing, like, well, this is going to get serious.
00:27:25.000And now, like, there's a site, I see it's called every eleven minutes.
00:27:29.000And that's when, or every eleven seconds.
00:27:32.000And that's how long it takes for someone to OD on fentanyl in this country.
00:27:36.000So every eleven seconds, a new person is overdosing.
00:28:19.000The most calming, wonderful, God, this sounds like I'm promoting it, also with my voice, like it's the most calming, wonderful sensation you've ever had.
00:28:29.000Like you, every problem you've ever had is gone and you feel nothing but euforia, which is different than like Oxy and some other stuff, which kinda just makes you feel, to me, loose and tired.
00:28:55.000So we're sitting on my friend's back porch and he gives me first he's on the joint and I hit it and it had like a weird sizzle and I hit it.
00:29:01.000I'm like this is the best pot I've ever had in my life.
00:29:04.000And he's like yeah they gave me free crack and I was like oh good.
00:31:04.000So you have instead of a eight ball with the balls in the center, you have a soft break where you're just trying to not scatter the balls very much.
00:31:12.000And the idea is to eventually someone makes a mistake and you leave an open shot and that person runs out that rack, leaves one ball on the table, makes that ball and collides the cue ball into the rack and opens up that rack and then keeps going.
00:31:28.000And a really good player can run like two, three hundred balls.
00:31:58.000And then we were all watching him, like his arms are all curled up like this.
00:32:02.000And then he got off, screwed his cue together and never missed., I mean it was the craziest display of pool I think I had ever seen at the time.
00:32:14.000He played like the greatest pool player that's ever played.
00:35:46.000But they arrest people all the time doing that.
00:35:48.000they take their cars that was like the scam they compound your car and then they auction it right i was like he's like that won't happen i'm like you fucking So I go, look, I'll put you in the tournament if you want to play, but I'm not taking you.
00:36:03.000I go, if you can get a cab there or something, go.
00:36:07.000So he just did it straight and he couldn't make a ball.
00:36:15.000NFL fans, week one just became your place to play free and grow the bag.
00:36:21.000DraftKings Pick Six, an official partner of the NFL, is here with Bag Builder, a completely free way to play for a share of one million or more in cash.
00:40:05.000Because I mean, even like Robert Johnny Jr., whom I do greatly admire actually, because I'm in recovery as well, but even with him, it's like you had to go into your neighbor's house and fall asleep in a kid's race car bed.
00:40:16.000And people were like, you know, maybe you should do a little time behind bars.
00:41:26.000Those, they, they're in trouble because those people, like their stockholders, all fucking went crazy because they thought they're going to make money off that.
00:41:59.000But when you want to pretend that something's a hamburger, it's a trans burger, you have to it has to go through a lot, just like a trans person has to go through.
00:43:46.000That was another hilarious thing when RFK junior was saying that they had to get rid of the red die 40 and they're like, well, if we do, what will happen to our business?
00:43:54.000Meanwhile, the same business is selling the same cereal to Canada without the dye because in Canada it's illegal.
00:48:55.000Dude, my son does it and he's ten and I let him, but he's pretty good at it, but I've I always get very nervous when he goes to do it, but he's good with, I mean, he's a very good athlete.
00:49:04.000The good thing is little kids have less weight and when they're falling, it's not as painful and then they're all flexible and pliable than a dude, he broke his arm.
00:49:14.000It was crazy and he was better in like, it was like eight days.
00:50:35.000Sometimes, but not as bad as you think it would.
00:50:38.000If I'm like doing a treadmill for a long time or if I do something where we're just outside, like, because I'll go do that, but I like it that'll hurt after maybe a couple miles, but not like a severe pain.
00:51:41.000That's what happened to my son, and it sucks.
00:51:43.000He was like six, and him and his friend were hanging out at his friend's house, and they had like a slide that was eight feet in the air, and they both decided to jump off of it.
00:53:18.000And like, I think my dad had passed at that point and she's like so freaking out because she would have these wild Christmas parties every year where it happened.
00:53:49.000It's like somebody who, like, slips delivering a package or any of that stuff that's possible.
00:53:55.000There was a lady that was when my kids were younger, there was this lady that was a single mom and her daughter was playing with my daughter and they come over the house and she went up to another person's house and they'd have play dates like kids do and she wasn't there.
00:54:14.000So she comes to pick up her daughter and they're they have a dog and the dog is a very friendly dog and the dog you know they jumps up to like you know dogs do that and scraped her with its claws just scraped her with its claws.
00:55:10.000And the camp had its own golden retriever.
00:55:13.000And it was fine with the pit, but they'd run on the fences and stuff.
00:55:16.000So we, that's when I first even started getting used to dogs when I was young, because I've always liked dogs and I have too and I've had tons.
00:55:23.000But I remember that the pitbull, once the kid stuck his finger through the fence, took off these two toppers of his finger.
00:55:32.000And like they sued, they put the dog down and we were like, he's been chucking rocks at those things all summer.
00:55:38.000Like, he's been antagonizing these animals all summer.
00:55:41.000And I mean, it sucks that it happens, but it's like...
00:55:45.000Yeah, it sucks that he was told not to do it a bunch of times and then there was a consequence to this shitty action.
00:55:51.000Also, how did you raise a kid that's throwing rocks at dogs?
00:55:54.000Like what's what kind of kid would throw rocks at a dog?
00:55:57.000It's like the first thing you find that has unconditional love for you.
00:56:01.000It's the first thing that you trust in a different way than a human.
00:56:59.000They don't know that a child is a person.
00:57:02.000At least it seems like they don't, because they attack kids.
00:57:05.000Well, and children don't know dogs are animals sometimes.
00:57:08.000And that's kind of how I treat with my like you have to understand that when you're rough housing or whatever, like there's a you have to be real careful because she may not necessarily know what you're doing, you know?
00:57:20.000And he learned that at a young age and dogs love him.
00:57:23.000But a lot of times kids can be really, really rough with dogs.
00:57:29.000Especially if they don't grow up with them, they don't know and they're not taught.
00:57:32.000But the thing is, like if you have a sweet dog, like I have a golden retriever, and if my kids thought all dogs were like my dog, and then they went up to another dog and grabbed his face, that dog might bite your fucking face off.
00:58:36.000But if you get a good dog and you train them well and teach them, it takes a lot of responsibility.
00:58:42.000Like people that run out and get like a German Shepherd or a Belgian Malinois and think they're going to just keep it in their yard.
00:58:48.000You just literally got like an elite super athlete for a pet.
00:58:54.000You know, and you're just thinking you're just going to leave it in the yard.
00:58:58.000occasionally throw the ball to it fuck out of here you never walk it so it's got a bunch of pent up anger and energy exactly good for you it's like a high school kid that's been left in a confined space.
00:59:20.000There was one video where a guy, his dog is attacking one dog and some dude runs up out of nowhere and just shoves his finger in one dog's ass.
00:59:29.000Yeah, it did, but it was still the most ridiculous thing.
00:59:33.000Like this guy just runs in like he thinks he's Superman, is like, I've got it and just starts Well, if a dog has a lock on another dog, that's one of the only ways to let him go.
01:00:53.000like freaking out and screaming yeah but the dog kept like coming up and like nipping my my dog until my dog finally just like attacked back real quick yeah which is what dogs do.
01:03:36.000Large size and robust build might also suggest some Central Asian Shepherd or Kangal ancestry, especially if the dog is used as livestock guardian.
01:03:45.000However, without a clearer look in more context, like the dog's size, weight, or behavior, it's difficult to definitively identify the breed.
01:03:52.000It's likely a mix of working or guardian breeds common in rural or semi-rural areas.
01:03:59.000Yeah, that thing they just knew had it tough.
01:04:02.000Because it just came in and didn't get it.
01:05:00.000So as soon as you leave, they take the dominant spot.
01:05:03.000You have a good day of filming and there's just this wolf looking at you the whole car ride home, seeing if he's going to take like your shit once you get home.
01:07:07.000Yeah, pigs are like wild pigs are some of the most ferocious sounding animals.
01:07:13.000I remember the first time I ever went hunting pigs, we were going down this dirt road and to the right of us was like heavily wooded, like high grass and they were in the grass near us and then they started fighting and it sounded like demons, like orcs.
01:07:32.000They were just going to war, like maybe 10, 15 feet from us, but we couldn't see them because of the tall grass.
01:08:16.000Yeah, they like to show up on people's lawns and tear their lawns apart and you wake up in the middle of the night, there's ten wild pigs on your fucking front grass.
01:09:43.000If you shoot them in the heart, I doubt they're gonna go 100 yards, but they might be able to because they can get they can go 100 yards pretty fast.
01:09:50.000But, yeah, Bears are If you hit a bear, like, there is a distance between you and them where it's like a fight or flight distance where they're too close where they think that you'll attack them and so then you're in trouble.
01:10:42.000So the thing starts climbing up the side of the house and eventually we just kinda made enough noise or something that it went back into the woods, but I'm like looking around, like, we have a gun, right?
01:10:54.000Like, oh, that's good because there's a bear climbing up the fucking house, dude, it was terrifying.
01:11:00.000Yeah, if you have food left out, if you have garbage left out, once they've established that that's a place where they get food, they keep coming back.
01:11:59.000And bears became such a problem that the same governor who ran on stopping the bear hunt and did stop the bear hunt when he came into office, the population boomed so badly without hunters that he reinstated the bear hunt.
01:14:58.000I would imagine for a dense human population makes its high bear population a significant concern for residents, particularly in the states.
01:15:08.000The state's forest covered northwestern regions of have one of the highest concentrations of black bears in the nation with approximately 3,000 bears.
01:15:15.000Did if Ted Nugent told you that, I think he's right.
01:15:20.000High population density, concentration in the Northwest, increased sightings.
01:15:26.000The other problem is they really don't have an accurate number.
01:15:30.000Because in heavily wooded areas, when you want to do a census on animals, you're sending out wildlife biologists and they just have to count them.
01:15:38.000And there's no way they can really count them correctly because you're dealing with dense woods.
01:15:42.000And black bears are particularly difficult to find in the woods.
01:15:50.000And when they hear people, they just get the fuck out of there.
01:15:53.000Yeah, like in Michigan, you've seen them.
01:15:55.000Like they come down because, you know, we're up by the Upper Peninsula and they'll come, you know, Canada and all that stuff.
01:16:00.000But you do see them on occasion, but I guess they are becoming more and more, like they're moving more and more south towards the cities now.
01:16:10.000Of course, because nobody's hunting them.
01:16:44.000And if you've ever been in front of one with horns, like I was in the Rockies, my friend was all high, he got out of the cars, like, twenty years ago, and there's, like, I don't know, it wasn't, maybe it was a deer, but like an elk or something.
01:18:25.000There's a lot of videos of people who think they're majestic and they're like eight feet away from them and it's like it's not bullwinkle it's an animal in the and then the next thing you hear is how they were killed.
01:18:35.000Yeah it's not just that it's an animal that's like really good at stomping at oh boy does this guy get attacked?
01:18:42.000I don't know it's just sometimes you just don't dude if I get an arrow you gotta you really gotta not miss Yeah, well this is rough too because he's coming straight at you and so you don't have a really good shot at his vitals so you have to take the most risky shot which is you're taking a frontal.
01:19:04.000So what you're essentially, you have a very small arrow targeting, which is like the end of his beard.
01:19:10.000So his hair comes down, like you want to get it right here.
01:19:13.000So what you're trying to do is shoot this arrow through basically like a softball size hole, maybe a little bigger than a softball size hole, and it'll go straight through, slice through the heart, the lungs, everything.
01:19:25.000It's the most deadly shot if you can land it.
01:20:56.000There's a famous video of these kids bo hunting.
01:20:59.000And this elk comes in and gives his kid a frontal shot and he takes it at like twenty yards and the elk just stands there and then blood starts spraying out of it and it just tips over.
01:23:54.000You're probably barely going to feel it.
01:23:56.000So you have to be behind the shoulder.
01:23:58.000You have to and then you, you know, if you don't have enough power, if you center punch a rib, probably not going to get a lot of penetration.
01:24:05.000So you have to have a really powerful bow and a lot of guys stay away from mechanical broadheads.
01:24:10.000They want like a really solid fixed blade broadhead.
01:25:28.000I mean, you can't just hang out there with It was that whole movie is just they said, like, I love when they're like, we think they think the bear like the bears just thought he was basically retarded meat.
01:28:36.000That thing probably hears a owl farting a mile away.
01:28:39.000Like, look at his face so fucking cute man yeah they really are they're really cool animals yeah and people have done this where they raise them but yeah i think it's at least makes weird faces yeah i just think it's one of those things where you have to be around them all the time you know yeah i think if it's i guess i don't know but if it's abandoned young enough to where it's attached to you there's something there yeah no you definitely can raise them people have raised them but and people have raised coyotes that same way too oh yeah but you you have to be around them all the time
01:29:10.000because they're wild yeah like you're just tricking them into like by constantly giving them food and attention so they feel like they don't have to do anything else that they really feel instinctual about doing, like going out and killing a cat.
01:29:23.000Well, there's a there's a place called Oswald Bear Ranch.
01:33:49.000But characteristically, if you look at how a dog behaves, I see a change.
01:33:53.000The moment they cut now, look, if you have an overly aggressive dog, that's a different story.
01:33:58.000If you have a dog that you probably should train, that's probably what it is.
01:34:03.000Probably needs obedience training and probably needs a lot of attention and probably needs a lot of exercise, but if you cut your dog's balls off, it won't be the same dog.
01:34:11.000And I mean, the next dogs I have, I probably won't.
01:34:14.000You know, but it's just something that you're used to for so long.
01:34:16.000And like with Bob Barker, I get control of the pet population so there's not dogs running all over the streets that have to be euthanasied all the time.
01:34:28.000It's just like people are bad parents and their kids wind up, you know, joining a gang and shooting people up.
01:34:35.000It's like, it's a lot of the same kind of shit, man.
01:34:37.000It's the same, it's literally the same thing.
01:34:39.000I mean, when you, like, years ago they were doing articles, not to bring it back to my hometown, but like in Detroit where you would see dog gangs roving together, they take over a house and like, you know, they, I remember one house was like filled with pit bulls and stuff, but it was a black lab that was like the king's shed at this house.
01:35:03.000Because like when like Rolling Stone, I think it was, showed up and they were like, holy shit, it's a black lab that's in charge of like all these pit bulls and that was like their king.
01:35:11.000And but to say Well, probably they're good hunters.
01:41:35.000So when you go to northern kind of climates, when you're dealing with an animal in northern climates, that's going to be a bigger version of that animal.
01:41:45.000So if you see a wolf in like Alberta, yeah.
01:41:49.000That's going to be a bigger wolf than a wolf that you'd see in Mexico.
01:44:55.000And they're just because you drive down to the water, dude, and it just, it's like, sounds like Rice Krispies as you drive because you're just hitting so many of these things.
01:47:43.000A friend of mine, and her and her boyfriend rescued a bunch of kittens that were under this building, and she, it was in Santa Monica, and she said, Do you want a kitten?
01:47:50.000He was so cute, and I took him in, and I actually had to stay with this cat for like days in one of the rooms of my house because like when I picked him up he would purr and he'd be sweet.
01:48:00.000As soon as I put him down he'd hiss at me and jump and leap away.
01:49:21.000So you're looking up, like, I'd have to sleep there and I'm just, like, staring at a brown recluse, like, shaking at the age of, like, eight.
01:49:28.000Those will fucking leave giant holes in you, man.
01:51:49.000Well, after my, like, last DUI was when I got it was like sixteen years ago and I had just built a bar in my basement and it's really nice and I still really like it.
01:51:59.000But like, it was probably days later I got the DUI.
01:52:02.000So I just like sit there and I'll just look at this bar and like, ah, it could have been Was that when you stopped drinking?
01:52:07.000Yeah, it was my it was my thirteenth arrest.
01:52:20.000My dad had got a Buick Regal and it was around November because I was born in June, but they didn't let me get my driver's license because my grades were so bad.
01:52:40.000So we get home and my aunt had blocked the driveway thinking that I would probably end up taking the car and like her son out who was from Arizona.
01:52:48.000And the one side of my house was the house and then the other side was my neighbor's lawn with a small pine tree and like rose bushes and stuff.
01:54:59.000So I start braking because I'm going breaking it and the next thing I know the engine drops through the front of the car, all the airbags come out, I get cracked with an airbag and I'm unconscious like I'm not quite unconscious, I'm conscious just enough to see the BMW in my rear view drive away.
01:55:18.000And then as I'm being knocked out, I hear all my friends and my own cousin leave.
01:56:08.000want to say egggy almost it was just the worst smell but everybody else was able to run except me so it looked like i just bit it so i get out and i remember i look at my dad was and my dad wasn't violent.
01:56:19.000He was in Nan, but he was never violent.
01:56:21.000But I just look at him and I go, Dad, I'm okay.
01:57:08.000I went in front of a referee, is what they called it for juveniles at Coleman A Young municipal, and They gave me six months suspended license.
01:59:46.000They're all trying to get ecstasy in it, and it's just like Katie Holmes and all these other people who are like, some are different stars and some are...
02:01:14.000This terrible little hatchback, you know...
02:01:18.000know car that a young person could afford with a killer sound system in case you wanted to listen to bad boy bill or fat boy slam and you so you got a arrested 13 times?
02:01:49.000How are you still, how did you still have a license?
02:01:52.000Most of it was as a minor, and then by the time I got my one as an adult, it like it had spanned enough to where in 2009 when I got arrested my last time and I decided to get sober, they couldn't technically put me in prison.
02:02:05.000And I didn't want to go because I don't want to spend my days getting titty fucked by the Aryanan Brotherhood.
02:03:19.000And I was double jeopardy because I was a road comic.
02:03:22.000So in 2009, yeah, dude, I'mm going into these bars and nightclubs and I'm like, Hey, do you have a phone jack I could use for a few minutes?
02:03:32.000And I'm like, Um, I got this ankle monitor and I had to plug it in somewhere to a phone jack so they can download to make sure I'm not drinking.
02:04:01.000I'm sure there's something more high-tetech now, this was 09, but you had to have a phone jack and I'd have to call my probation officer and be like, this is the room I'm playing.
02:04:10.000I'm in a bar, I was allowed to be in a bar, but if anybody spilled anything on me, right to jail.
02:04:16.000Because like if I had any bit of like I had to use Tom's Everything, you know, all natural stuff, because anything could have alcohol in it.
02:06:04.000Yeah, so he got some bro science doctor in the fucking men's room shoving a large needle of piss into his bladder and then he pissed out somebody else's piss.
02:07:24.000The whole steroid thing is so weird, you know, it's because it's just science.
02:07:30.000They figured out a way to make humans perform better.
02:07:33.000Like, so are we supposed to use some science, like you can use creatine, which at one point in time they used to treat creatine like it was steroids.
02:08:15.000There's a video of McGuire hitting a home run.
02:08:18.000as the bat is contacting the ball, you see see the bend to the bat because he's so strong he's whipping the bat so hard that it's bending in the air as it contacts the ball and it's even See if you can find that photo.
02:11:05.000Yeah, there's a lot of shady shit that happened.
02:11:07.000Well, that was that golf hustler thatler that beat him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and then wrote a story about it because Jordan wouldn't pay him.
02:13:01.000Yeah, doctor Huxtable was a gynecolog gynecologist and he was a doctor and in his basement is where he saw the women and no one thought anything about it.
02:13:10.000Well, what about the one episode that he did about Spanish Fly?
02:13:13.000Dude, and he would talk about it in his act.
02:13:15.000He has like old records of Spanish Fly.
02:15:28.000Kenan Thompson was talking about one of the first times he met Bill Cosby and he was like, you know, like, you're gonna, you're gonna need two dicks for all the pussy you're gonna get.
02:17:02.000And a lot of them, too, when you see, like, the roles they would get on the Cosby show now, you have, like, supermodel-looking women playing a cop.
02:17:09.000And it's like he would have private dinners with them, you know, like in his green room.
02:18:08.000I mean, I'm sure it's real as a product, but I don't think it think it there's a thing that actually makes you horny so it would give you extra like it's like a pre-viagra yeah but that doesn't get you horny like but viagra is it just increases blood flow someone had it when i was maybe i don't know in middle school somebody had spanish fly yeah like a bottle of something that said spanish fly okay google this it does spanish fly work i ended up in marketing look at all the
02:18:38.000ads look at this love with no strings attached that's a flight attendant ad flight attendants were fucking hot back then they would hire only hot flight attendants.
02:19:33.000While it causes burning sensation in the urinary tract that can provoke an erection, it is a dangerous side effect, not an afrodisiac effect.
02:19:42.000So it gives you a boner while you're dying.
02:19:44.000What would it do to women then if you're right?
02:19:47.000I guess knock you out, and that's why they're like, She's horny, bro.
02:20:23.000Yeah, that's what sucked is it didn't it didn't help your libido.
02:20:26.000No universally proven aphrodisiac drug exists that reliably increases sexual desire across all individuals.
02:20:32.000The concept of an aphrodisiac, a substance that enhances libido or sexual performance, has been around for centuries, but scientific evidence is limited and often inconclusive.
02:20:42.000So some substances are marketed as that, historical, cultural substances foods like oysters okay chocolate okay none of that stuff works um medications viagra but again these they treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow not by increasing desire yeah no no no i get it um hormonal treatments testosterone therapy boost libido yeah but it's it doesn't like just make you horny out of nowhere yeah i don't think there's anything Like what
02:21:50.000But Florida where that was the place where the pill mills really started popping off, because the way Florida had it set up, they had these pain management centersagement centers they'd have a doctor that would prescribe it for you so the whole thing was just to prescribe pain pills so you'd go excuse me you'd go to the pain management center oh my back hurts great you need this go right next door and right next door all they prescribed was pain pills and they didn't have a database
02:22:21.000So you would go there and then you'd go down the street.
02:22:27.000And you could just keep doing this over and over again.
02:22:29.000And then this documentary, the OxyContin Express, showed how people were loading up the trunks of their cars with these pain pills and driving up north and into Kentucky, into Ohio, and that's where all these people started dying of overdoses and all people became addicted to pills.
02:22:45.000There was also one in Richmond, I want to say, right outside of Richmond, a pharmaceutical company that was also largely responsible for it.
02:22:53.000Because I remember even working at a pharmacy and going, like my mom was an RN, so I would go in there, I remember the doctors, not the doctors, but like, I remember companies taking out the doctors to eat or like you see like OxyContin reps or you'd sign with a pen that had a painkillers name on it.
02:23:12.000My wife's mom's nurse and she would tell stories about how the pharmaceutical drug companies would take them out to nice steak dinners and treat them really nice and just the whole thing was like, make sure you push our share.
02:23:23.000It was, yeah, give our product to the people coming.
02:24:54.000So it's like a genetic thing with your family.
02:24:56.000Big time, and I didn't know about that until later, you know, and like my dad had talked to me about it before he died and like, you know, he died when I was eighteen, but he he finally talked to me about what was going on with the family and stuff I hadn't known and my uncle who I figured had died of a heroin overdose, but my mom's like, he just Diddy?
02:26:29.000You'd have to tell him, you don't remember being on the table with your dick out.
02:26:31.000You don't remember yeah he didn't remember anything i was the guy on that side of the phone calls see i they were like you need to apologize to this person did you black out all the time all the time so you didn't remember anything i wouldn't remember most sometimes i brown out so i kind of remember what we did there was times where i actually I was at a party, right?
02:26:50.000And then I wake up and I'm handcuffed to a bed in a hospital getting charcoal dumped down.
02:27:18.000Yeah, I put out a book, it's called Party Who Won a Fuzzy Memoir a little while ago, and it's all stories of my youth because I was trying to get it all out.
02:27:27.000And then I had to ask people, and I didn't put it out for years because I wanted to be like, hey, is it cool if I change, like, talk about?
02:27:34.000And everybody was, but, and a couple of my friends who are my really good friends, I had to fuck with, where I'm like, don't worry, I change your name from Brian to Ryan so no one knows his name.
02:27:55.000The story I talk about in the book is what happened the night before, well, not the book, but on stage, because I have to kind of sum it up.
02:28:00.000I actually did it on This Is Not Happening, Ari show.
02:28:03.000And what happened was, was I used to like bong pints and fifths for like a party trick.
02:28:11.000And I could carry around a case of beer and, you know, drink that in the night.
02:28:36.000You know the beer bongs that you use that have like the funnel and go through?
02:28:39.000So my friend Anthony pulled out this beer bong and my friend Nick poured an entire fifth of Absolute vodka and Nick's like, dude, don't do this.
02:31:24.000You know, like basically crying like a bitch.
02:31:27.000Like, and, you know, I'll never drink again was like my catchphrase, dude.
02:31:33.000So they pulled him out of there and then, you know, and then eventually they sent me off to a rehab where I spent I think I spent 45 days there.
02:31:44.000And I heard it's not there anymore, which is a shame because a lot of kids do need that now.
02:31:47.000And I heard they took it down, like it's not there anymore.
02:31:50.000And I went there and the second I got out, I didn't drink.
02:34:11.000Dude, I still laugh so hard'cause that like, the whole bit he does about the hamburger was so relevant then.
02:34:22.000And I knew what that meant then and I was crying laughing because I loved Eddie Murphy, you know?
02:34:27.000So he introduced me to comedy and the only thing I had any interest in was that.
02:34:31.000And one day Second City opened up in Detroit and I was pissing this teacher off a little bit and she stopped me after class and she goes, Do you know what Second City is?
02:34:44.000And I go, Yeah, my dad's told me about it.
02:34:46.000It's like where all these SNL people came from.
02:34:49.000And she's like, Yeah, you're actually really funny, but you're a fucking pain in the ass in my class.
02:35:46.000Yeah, we were actually just having a conversation about that last night in the green room, not last night, the night before, and we were talking about times in your life that someone could have just told you, this is behavior like a stand-up comedian, like that's a real job.
02:36:16.000Like my parents, my dad had was just about to pass when I told him I think I'm going to do Second City and then take this film class up in Lansing, Michigan, which is what I did.
02:36:25.000I did film and I did that and I would go back and forth.
02:37:04.000So when I finally found that outlet, it was wonderful, dude, especially when you're writing sketches and watching them come to life and you're ripping on the people that fucked you over.
02:37:13.000And like, there's such a good feeling about that.
02:37:16.000And a lot of people that I met have gone on to do great things.
02:37:18.000Like I was in a troop with Sam Richardson who went on to do Detroiters.
02:37:23.000And, you know, there's Tim Robinson, who I didn't know him well or anything but we did improv a couple times and it's cool to see him like skyrocket with I think you should leave and all these other stuff and Keegan Michael Key was somebody that was out of the Detroit chapter so there's like some really cool people that ended up coming out of there.
02:37:45.000Yeah, and I started There was to be a great spot.
02:37:47.000Dude, it's unbelievable and he he was the guy who you wanted to do stand-up in front of because he was there every night tearing tickets like he was a part of it from the late 70s until he had a heart attack maybe around 2010.
02:38:01.000His son Ryan Ridley was the head writer of Rick and Morty.
02:38:39.000So we would like to criticize each other.
02:38:41.000and like we've all done pretty well considering like where people have gone off to you know at least in the sense of making money and making a living you know making making people laugh like and that's awesome we were lucky because there was like 10 different clubs in detroit where you could go like okay i'll go do ridley's in the suburbs but then i can go do a super urban room you know in the city and I can get used to that audience.
02:39:04.000Then I can go to Ann Arbor and I can be in front of liberals at the showcase or at the Heidelberg Project and then I can go, you know, so you could go all over and you could experience every kind of audience.
02:39:16.000you could ever be in front of at ten different places in a week.
