00:03:00.000And he was saying, that's right, because he was saying, like you said after you saw him on Kill Tony, hey, I'd like to have you open for me.
00:03:06.000And he was like, holy fucking shit, man.
00:07:07.000Yeah, I mean, It's the greatest thing for comedians in the history of comedy in terms of like having a real platform that if you've been banging it out on the road for seven, eight, nine, ten years, you put together a solid half hour, hour, you're really starting to tour, you're middling for guys, you're really starting to feel like a real comic, and you got one banger minute on Kill Tony.
00:09:02.000And it's such a positive karma show because all the comics that leave that show and they take off like, you know, it's just watching Cam Patterson on SNL, watching all these different comedians just sell out all over the country.
00:09:35.000Because back in those days, like, when one of your friends got a sitcom, you're like, holy shit, Mike got cast on fucking Bob's cousin, whatever the fuck it is.
00:10:26.000I mean, there's got to be a catalyst, right?
00:10:28.000And for me, it was all, you know, the blue-collar comedy tour.
00:10:32.000Which now people don't even remember what that is, but at one time it was a big deal, you know, and it, it, uh I think most people my age remember it.
00:10:39.000Most people are also shocked that there's not another one.
00:10:42.000That some other guys haven't figured out how to do something like that.
00:10:46.000Like take that level of comics, like four of them, put them together and go on tour.
00:10:56.000The group of some guys not as big as, you know, Foxworthy, and Foxworthy was the only real star of that show when it started, you know, he was, he was willing to share a stage with me, and that's you know, that was the catalyst for me.
00:11:11.000But I'd also been doing stand up for 14 years, and I'd been headlining comedy clubs for 11 of them.
00:11:18.000It's there's no substitute for the time in, and there's so many guys that are like right about to crack, you know, that's where Kill Tony really comes along.
00:11:25.000Yeah, guys that have really put that time in, really been on the road.
00:11:29.000Yeah, if you're prepared for the opportunity, then that's the best thing out there for you.
00:11:34.000And if you're not, then it was just another day at the park, you know.
00:11:38.000Then you have to figure out what the fuck you're going to do with your life.
00:11:49.000Yeah, I'm glad that I didn't really get weird exposure early.
00:11:54.000That's the worst thing that can happen is you win a contest or something and you don't have the show to back it up with, but all of a sudden you can sell tickets and that's just a death spiral is what that is.
00:12:08.000There's such a dance of what works and what doesn't work.
00:12:11.000Guys trying to find their voice on stage and trying to write and trying to figure out what to do and then also might have a drinking problem.
00:13:45.000And so I was like, Fuck, man, I just got to be ready for when this, I got to make as much money as I can and work as hard as I can before this whole thing comes tumbling fucking down.
00:15:03.000Like, when you kick back and you got a fucking peanut colado, you don't drink anymore, but you're sitting back with whatever you're doing, just taking in that sun, not a damn thing to do.
00:19:31.000And which is where the first guy came in and said, Hey, listen, you can't smoke pot in your room, but if you want to smoke pot on your deck, well, that's what I had been doing, but I hadn't been real careful about keeping the door shut.
00:19:41.000And this was the hotel manager guy, not the captain of the ship.
00:20:08.000And they came in just in the hallway, just dressed me down.
00:20:11.000And he said, I said, no, I was smoking.
00:20:14.000Pot, where that guy told me to, and pointed right at the other dude and he goes, I think you were smoking pot in your, in your bathroom, and he got in the ventilation system.
00:21:49.000Oh, I think you're allowed to have a certain amount of them now.
00:21:52.000Where it used to be there was an embargo to all trade to Cuba, and I think there's a limited amount of Cuban cigars you're allowed to possess.
00:23:36.000Current CBP guidance says people subject to U.S. jurisdiction may acquire Cuban goods while outside the United States in certain circumstances, but may not import Cuban origin tobacco products into the country.
00:24:05.000Well, he was rolling cigars, he was making cigars in Cuba.
00:24:09.000But he smelled the whole thing coming before everybody else did, moved to the Dominican Republic.
00:24:13.000And before he did that, he moved seeds over there, started plantations, moved his rollers over there.
00:24:18.000So, really, when that all went down, the only really good cigar you could get was Davidoff.
00:24:24.000It's kind of crazy how the Cubans really are so much better.
00:24:28.000There's like a level, they're a level above.
00:24:30.000They're a level above, and one of it is the rollers.
00:24:33.000You know, they just had generational rollers, and they have these big rolling rooms where somebody would sit up in front of the thing and read them books, and they'd just sit there and roll these beautiful, fucking classic cigars.
00:24:43.000That smoke gorgeous and taste gorgeous.
00:24:46.000Well, if you don't have that, there have been companies that have bought other cigar companies just to get their rollers and then discontinue the line altogether.
00:24:54.000Now I need these guys twisting up some fucking.
00:26:14.000But it turns out they did pay a nickel and they were just that much better.
00:26:17.000And then those guys, when they heard about that embargo, they bought everything there was and built these huge humidors and when they died Those things went on the market, you know.
00:27:41.000What is it about men who love collecting things that are hard to get?
00:27:47.000Well, I think that once you have money and then you, all the things you thought you wanted, you get those and then you want something you can't have.
00:34:15.000And then he upgraded everything else and completely redid the interior and put like really solid bucket seats that grip you and wider tire and brakes set up.
00:37:59.000You know, I hit the ball 235, 240, something like that.
00:38:04.000But, you know, if I really get into one, I catch a sweet spot, you know, maybe 255, which is nothing compared to 300, but you find a 70-year-old dude that can do it.
00:38:15.000What is like an elite golfer, like the best driver?
00:38:58.000Have you seen those guys that go to those driving ranges and they have these crazy swings where they completely spin and then rotate their body?
00:39:07.000They almost do a 180 and then smash it.
00:39:10.000Those guys, it's got to be way over 300 yards.
00:42:46.000It would be great for your golf, though.
00:42:48.000There's a lot of things you do, like rotational twists, things that would be really good for just generating force with your drive and just control of your body, just overall body control.
00:42:59.000Yeah, I know that I lost some muscle when I was just losing weight with Ozempic or whatever it was.
00:43:09.000And I know that the whole secret to me getting to be 80 and still mobile is because there's leg strain.
00:43:14.000And I was really kind of impressed with myself in Switzerland because I was getting around pretty good, you know, because I do, you know, I do whatever, testosterone and human growth and all that kind of stuff.
00:43:29.000So, it does make my muscles stronger because I was doing things.
00:43:32.000I'm like, there's no way I'd get up to the top of that thing and I'd just chug on up there out of breath, but my legs are fine, you know?
00:43:39.000Yeah, it makes your body behave like a younger body.
00:43:43.000People miss out on that because they're afraid of the stigma attached to taking testosterone.
00:43:47.000Like, look, your body doesn't make it anymore.
00:43:49.000When your body makes it, you feel better.
00:43:51.000Get all this ideological shit out of your head, especially like a lot of my left wing friends are very adverse to the idea of taking testosterone.
00:43:59.000Like, look, you don't have to take a lot of it.
00:44:01.000It's not what we're saying, we're not saying get on steroids.
00:44:03.000What we're saying is bring your body back to levels that it had like when you were 30, and you'll feel so much better.
00:46:35.000Like, one great way to alleviate some of the pressure of paying attention to how nuts the world is is to do something really hard, do a hard workout, do a yoga class.
00:46:46.000Just something difficult, just something that takes you out of it for a minute and just relaxes you.
00:46:50.000Yeah, I'd like to get back into yoga again.
00:46:52.000I did that for a while and it was so good for me.
00:46:54.000That's one of the best things I bet for golf.

00:49:44.000Someone warned me about that a long time ago.
00:49:46.000This philosopher guy that I know said, You got to be careful because, like, it looks like you guys are having too much fun and other people can't get in.
00:49:53.000And they feel like it's a walled garden because they want to shit on it.
00:49:56.000You know, the thing is, like, people are like, Why?
00:49:58.000It's because, like, it's a very intimate group of friends.
00:50:02.000And we don't know when somebody else is going to come in there and listen to us bullshitting and then go jabber away to some fucking buddy else.
00:50:10.000Or get upset at some of the things that someone says because some.
00:50:12.000People say horrible things in that room, don't even mean it because it's funny.
00:55:06.000And, I mean, it's just, I mean, it's happening a little late in life for me, but, you know, now I'm looking like, well, if I play my cards right and I live as long as my mother did, I can see this kid through fucking high school.
00:55:19.000The abortion rights thing is a weird one.
00:55:22.000You know, it's like I don't think I have a right to tell anybody what to do with their body.
00:56:32.000I think the rational thinking is that most women would never want to abort their baby late term, right?
00:56:38.000And if someone's doing that, it has to be extenuating circumstances and that it has to be because of and to eliminate that possibility and to put someone through like a life threatening situation because they really do need an abortion and the law says they can't have an abortion unless they get some exemption.
00:56:53.000So they have to prove it and then the person's life is at risk.
00:56:57.000So I could see how you would say we will allow late term abortion so that this.
00:57:31.000The previous limit for abortion in the Bay State.
00:57:33.000Those that do occur after that point often involve situations in which doctors discovered a fetal anomaly late in the pregnancy.
00:57:42.000Massachusetts law was championed by major medical groups, including the National Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and the state's chapter of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
00:57:57.000The law received support from Kate Deneen, the abortions rights activist whose son died in utero at 33 weeks.
00:59:14.000And his position is when you put the Ten Commandments in public schools, what you're really doing is you're forcing Christianity to them, and you're not, you're not, you're probably pushing them away from Christianity rather than bring, you're like forcing it on them.
00:59:28.000And if you're going to do that, how can you do that and not have like scripture from the Hindu text, scripture from the Book of Mormon, Muslim, you know, Islamic text?
00:59:46.000So his position is that, and I think, You know, he's probably right about this, otherwise, he'd get sued.
00:59:51.000Is that there's a couple like very wealthy people who are Christian nationalists and they want to take over like the school system and turn Texas like completely Christian.
01:00:08.000That kind of shit is scary because pushing whatever your ideology is.
01:00:12.000Look, if you invite people into your church and you know, you're a person who is of exemplary character and you're a wonderful guy, and there's something about this guy like, wow.
01:00:22.000This guy, the way he lives his life, man, I really think he's really cool and kind.
01:00:27.000I like to see what this church is all about.
01:00:29.000That's how you get people to be interested in what you're doing and the way you're promoting life.
01:00:42.000You can't decide that your way is the way that other people have to live.
01:00:46.000That's the whole idea of America you're supposed to have the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want as long as you're not hurting others.
01:01:31.000For no reason they can eliminate anybody.
01:01:34.000They'll take a student or not take a student, right.
01:01:36.000And that came out of the public school system, that money, and went into the private school system and and Tal Rico really fought hard against that uh, because we need better teachers, we need more teachers, we need the public school system beefed up.
01:01:50.000Uh, we're getting the beat out of us in education and I think Tal Rico was really, really good for that and I think he's a smart, honest man.
01:01:58.000I hope he never gets sucked into the corruption of all the money, like most people do.
01:02:02.000But You know, you really can't put Ken Paxton back in the office in the state of Texas.
01:02:42.000Delta 8 or whatever they were selling anyway.
01:02:44.000But, but, you know, but these guys really went all in on these businesses that were legal and all of a sudden, snap, here's the stuff you got to take out.
01:04:03.000Most people realize the only way you can come to this conclusion that there should be laws and felonies, that people should be locked in cages for weed, is if you are either retarded or you're on the take.
01:05:54.000Do you think that casinos should be everywhere?
01:05:56.000And what do you think about, like, the argument that.
01:05:59.000If you're promoting gambling and you have these casinos, you're going to ruin people's lives because you're going to give them easy access to something that they're addicted to.
01:06:06.000They've already got access with fucking DraftKings.
01:06:09.000You know, you can gamble from anywhere.
01:06:12.000But, you know, they can still go to somewhere else and do it.
01:06:16.000You know, they go right across the border, go to Louisiana, go to, or fly into Vegas for $79.
01:06:22.000But there's an argument that you don't want it in your state.
01:06:25.000There's an argument that, like, if you really care about the people in your state, you would probably make it more difficult to go to these casinos.
01:07:46.000There's a great book about that place.
01:07:48.000There's a great book called Playing Off the Rail by this guy, David McCumber.
01:07:54.000He was Hunter S. Thompson's editor when Hunter S. Thompson was, I think he was working for a newspaper in the Pacific Northwest for a while.
01:08:01.000McCumber's a very, very interesting guy, great writer.
01:08:04.000And he took my friend, Tony Anagoni, who was a world class professional pool player, and they traveled around the country gambling and wrote this book.
01:08:22.000And the guy Tony, who was a friend of mine, I did commentary with him on a pool match once in California back in the 90s and hung out with him a bunch of times, played pool with him.
01:08:33.000And then one day I got a call from a friend of mine that told me he jumped off the bridge.
01:08:51.000So, 22 years later, he got the chance to follow that dream not as a player, but as a steakhorse, financial backer for Tony Antigone, a non smoking, macrobiotic eating, Renaissance pool hustler, student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green felt poetry of the dead stroke.
01:09:09.000Tony was a brilliant guy, like an incredible pool player.
01:11:29.000Oh, that's what I was gonna tell you that I went to that trip in Switzerland and And then we were taking a ride in a car for two and a half hours to from Zermatt to Interlaken and I had this driver from England Andrew, and he had married a girl from Switzerland and moved there 12 years ago and and when I was in in Paris, I really was expecting to get some Anti-American sentiment,
01:11:58.000because they don't really like us that much anyway, but I really didn't feel it and I'm like, oh well, maybe I'm building this up more than it is, but in Switzerland and and also in Northern Italy, I felt like I'm getting a cold shoulder And in these places, and I asked him about it.
01:12:54.000There's very few people here that think it's a good idea.
01:12:57.000The only people that I've heard that I think are very intelligent people that think it's a good idea, one of them was Palmer Lucky.
01:13:05.000Palmer Lucky's a tech guy, a very, very smart guy.
01:13:09.000And one of the things that he was on a podcast and he was explaining was that Iran had ramped up its missile production above and beyond.
01:13:20.000And they were like actively accelerating their missile program.
01:13:24.000And if they did acquire a nuke, it would have been a real problem because they have an insane reserve of missiles.
01:13:31.000He was saying if we continue to allow them to ramp that up, and obviously, the other thing people have said is the timing was poor, and that really, if the United States was going to attack Iran, they should have attacked Iran when they had the protests.
01:13:46.000When they had people in the streets and they were revolting against the government and the government was executing civilians, that's the time.
01:13:52.000And if they did it then, I bet the whole world would be with them.
01:13:55.000And I bet the people probably would be with them.
01:13:56.000The people of Iran would be with them.
01:13:58.000Who knows what the fuck would have happened?
01:15:07.000You know, like we monkeyed with Iran in the 70s or the 50s, whatever it was, when you see those photographs of it, like it was very Western.
01:15:28.000The kind of shit that we've been doing and they've been doing and all these governments have been doing all around the world, monkeying with other people's fucking countries.
01:16:13.000There's all the, you know, all those other countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar and all that, they support it.
01:16:19.000Like, they don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
01:16:22.000They don't want Iran to have that kind of power.
01:16:25.000But most people in America are like, this was the whole reason why one of the things that people loved about Trump was no more bullshit wars.
01:18:33.000And then they had Gavin Newsom posed in front of trains the other day, did a press conference talking about how they're moving forward with the high-speed rail.
01:18:41.000Bitch, that thing ain't ever going to work.
01:22:42.000California Energy Commission unanimously adopted the rule on August 17, 2026.
01:22:47.000Its purpose is to ensure replacement tires are, on average, at least as energy efficient as original equipment tires fitted to new vehicles.
01:22:56.000The key technical measure is rolling resistance.
01:22:59.000Lower rolling resistance generally means less energy is needed to keep the tire rolling, which can improve gas mileage or EV range.
01:23:08.000So it's basically like you can't buy cheap tires.
01:23:11.000You have to buy the same kind of tires that your car came with.
01:23:16.000Well, so they're really kind of putting a ban on shitty tires.
01:23:18.000Are there people out there just making shitty tires and they're trying to get rid of them?
01:23:22.000Well, they're probably making tires that are less expensive and still pretty good.
01:23:26.000Like if you're driving a Camry, do you really need original equipment tires?
01:23:58.000What if you're a guy, like he works at Tires RS, and you said, you know, it'd be cool.
01:24:04.000If I could ensure that I had every fucking tire for 90% of the cars right away, I'll stack them, I'll stock them here, and that way I'll get a whole ton of business.
01:28:45.000It's always a bank or some corporation or something.
01:28:48.000I could never find a room in that town that I liked because there was the really nice one was too small and they had this big concrete vomitorium downtown that used to be a rock house.
01:28:59.000So you could just wash vomit out of it with a fucking hose.
01:29:03.000Had a lady fall out of the fucking balcony 26 feet, landed on another lady, flattened a fucking metal chair.
01:30:07.000And I always thought, man, these balconies are awfully fucking steep because you could go up there and sit in it and go, how do people, what keeps them from falling over?
01:31:59.000I asked someone who lives up there, too.
01:32:00.000I have a couple weird dreams sometimes where I. Like the building is falling over.
01:32:05.000It's not like a crash or a big event, but like it's just weird inception, like mind bending, just falling to the ground very slowly and weirdly.
01:32:14.000It's fucked because you can feel the sway.
01:32:16.000I see my toilet water move all the time.
01:32:33.000Yeah, I mean, there's pros to it for sure.
01:32:35.000Like, whenever I'm in New York City, if I know somebody that has an apartment, my friend's dad had an apartment in New York City, and he had like this corner building, like this building where his apartment had glass on one side, glass on the other side.
01:32:48.000It was just all city, and it was in the middle of everything.
01:37:36.000Because when we were raising money, by the way, I got to tell you, and I may have already told you, but, you know, when we bought the Sherp or whatever the fuck it was, that fire truck, they used that one year later to save lives.
01:37:54.000One year later, that same storm system hit that same riverbed, and they used that thing for days.
01:41:18.000Yeah, they're made in the Ukraine, and the guy told me we'd just take them out to the front, let the Russians shoot at it, and then bring it back.
01:42:38.000If it gets a storm stuck over that, everything is granite, right?
01:42:41.000So it all just fucking runs all over the place and feeds into the Guadalupe and then it goes nuts.
01:42:48.000Yeah, those flood zones are nuts when you see what can happen, like how high the water can get to and how quick it can happen.
01:42:55.000Yeah, we drove it just the other day just to see the devastation.
01:43:01.000But that Camp Mystic is just sitting right there.
01:43:05.000I didn't see it the first time I went down there.
01:43:08.000And, uh, but boy, it's just right there with Camp Mystic written right in big letters right on it.
01:43:12.000And I'm like, God damn, how could they not see that that might be a problem?
01:43:17.000But it never had been, you know, it had to take the worst thing and the worst place and, you know, no communication out there.
01:43:24.000And I know they blame a lot of it on somebody, Biden or somebody, but, but it really was not foreseeable, you know, from, from my perspective.
01:43:36.000I mean, I, I did, uh, You know, I gathered as much information as I could, and I'm like, yeah, they couldn't have done anything about that.
01:43:47.000Just a horrible, horrible fucking thing.
01:44:31.000I wonder if that situation is in other places up there where there are big ice dams or whatever.
01:44:38.000I mean, I wonder if that's going to be something that happens as those glacier caps start to melt.
01:44:44.000And they are melting because the The rivers were running like crazy when I was in Switzerland, and they were worried about it because normally they would not be getting that much water.
01:44:55.000But those ice caps, they had a really hot summer, and those ice caps are keeping those rivers running.
01:45:00.000Imagine your whole city's existence is tied to whether or not you have an avalanche.
01:46:04.000Flowed down at speeds approaching 150 kilometers an hour, kicking off a flood that raised water levels as much as nine meters in 30 minutes.
01:46:55.000Yeah, natural disasters are fucking crazy.
01:46:58.000When you see all the meteor spots on Earth, all the little fucking holes in the ground that where they, you know, like this one Australia that they. didn't discover until fairly recently.
01:48:08.000I think they have some theories, they've never done it.
01:48:11.000I don't know how much time, effort, andor resources have been put into making sure that if a civilization killer asteroid is coming our way, that we can all join together and launch rockets from China and Russia and everywhere else and knock that thing off course.
01:49:14.000Also, you could say the same thing about lobbyists.
01:49:18.000There's a lot of influence on our politics that I think should be eliminated, and money in politics is so ingrained, it's so entangled in politics.
01:49:31.000Like the idea of removing it entirely seems ridiculous to people.
01:49:34.000But if it didn't exist, and you said, hey, what do you think about letting corporations, you know, those ones that dump shit into rivers and pollute ecosystems and do a lot of funky shit in third world countries they're not supposed to do, what do you think about having them contribute so much money to our politics that they have incredible influence over regulations that get passed?
01:50:01.000You would say, no, let's keep money out of it and make sure that all laws that get passed are for the benefit of the society and the people.
01:51:47.000What you need is like I've heard the argument and I don't agree with it, but what you need is great leaders, right?
01:51:54.000But what you need is like a benevolent dictator, like someone who really does care, someone who really is a good person and genuinely doesn't want for anything or need for anything and just wants to try to make their mark and make the world a better place.
01:52:42.000It's like it pays a half a million dollars a year, and these guys that are, which is good money for a real job, but like if you're being the president of the United States, you're around billionaires and there's all this influence.
01:52:52.000And then they leave the job, and then they get these speaking gigs.
01:52:56.000So they talk at a conference of bankers for a half a million bucks.
01:53:34.000You know, look, it's always good to assume the best about people.
01:53:39.000He said some things that I think are questionable, yeah.
01:53:43.000But you know, God is non binary, he said that one time, and then people were like, I don't know what non binary means, and I'm making me nervous.
01:53:54.000God is not a man, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, yeah, it's God, it's an infinite loving force, yeah, not as simple as I get it too.
01:56:23.000I'm not, that's not what we're saying.
01:56:25.000Like, we're saying, like, you've got to be reasonable.
01:56:28.000And reasonable is you've got to know what's the difference between a sex offender who decides he's a woman and wants to hang around with women versus a guy who has gender dysphoria and wants to be recognized as a man.
01:56:44.000You know, if I don't call you the right name or whatever, I suggest you try to grow a pretty thick skin because people are always going to be mean, you know, so just let it run down your back.
01:56:54.000I mean, I've got thick skin, you know.
01:56:58.000It's a complicated conversation because it's not one that we all thought we were going to have 20 years ago.
01:57:09.000I just don't like it being promoted for young people because young people are getting surgeries and taking chemical castration drugs and doing.
01:57:17.000Which is essentially what hormone blockers are.
01:57:19.000They're the same category of drugs they use for sex offenders when they chemically castrate them.
01:58:20.000How about recognize the fact that people are easily influenced and sometimes people make mistakes and sometimes people get convinced or convince themselves that they should do something because it's fashionable in society and it's culturally relevant currently.
02:00:31.000You know, they're jacking with my marijuana, and I'm ready to get them out.
02:00:36.000The marijuana thing is just so stupid because if you look at the national polls, it's something in the range of 70% of the people think it should be legal.
02:00:48.000And if you find out that these people who are making these decisions have been influenced by the alcohol lobby or by anybody else hung by the neck until dead.
02:02:31.000Whether it's marijuana or mushrooms or all these things, we should understand them, study them, and they benefit a lot of people and they should be legal, period.
02:02:41.000Everybody who thinks not either hasn't done them or doesn't know what they're talking about or is coming from a very authoritarian perspective where you think the government should be allowed to control people's behavior.
02:02:50.000And I think that's fucking ridiculous.
02:02:52.000Yeah, I think it's fucking ridiculous too, Joe.
02:05:23.000I shouldn't even say he's saying stupid things.
02:05:24.000He's saying, I'm not even saying it's stupid.
02:05:28.000I'm just saying, like, if you want people to like you, like, going after Trump and that, especially from his perspective, like, as a country guy, like, that's a giant chunk of your crowd.
02:08:52.000Jelly rolled joked that his own 300 pound weight loss meant he essentially lost an entire Donald Trump.
02:08:59.000The fat pig comment he quoted past remarks Trump made about others and said, Well, Mr. President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important.
02:13:15.000You know, he performed at, you know, Matthew McConaughey has that Mac and Jack, that big thing that they do where it's a big charity benefit and auction, and he has people perform.
02:14:52.000And anybody that says, well, I'll give you hope.
02:14:55.000then, you know, what are you going to do?
02:14:59.000You know, if you got to, I've told people, I've said this more than once back when, that if you really want to improve your lot in life and you don't really have anything and you don't really have an education, you should be Bernie fucking Sanders, you know, as your guy, because he wants to get the minimum wage up.
02:15:20.000You think somebody's going to come in and hand you a bunch of loot.
02:18:12.000So I tend to think like the, while I wouldn't be shocked if we are living in the end times, what I'm trying to focus on is doing as much of God's work as possible right now.
02:18:23.000And if that leads to the end times, okay.
02:18:26.000And if that leads to, you know, us building a better world that thrives and survives for a very long time after I'm gone, that's great too.
02:18:35.000I just think you've got to kind of try to have.
02:21:03.000James David Vance, the name he adopted in 2013 before graduating from law school, changing his name to Vance to honor his maternal grandparents, Mama and Papa, who helped raise him.
02:21:16.000Well, there's a logic behind it, at least.
02:21:18.000It's not like he's like ducking taxes or something.
02:22:05.000But when people think that they absolutely know what the interpretations are and absolutely know what's going to happen, and they have their own.
02:22:13.000Then I'll absolutely quit listening to them talk if that's what they come at me with.
02:22:20.000I'm like, well, my uncle was a Baptist preacher, so I grew up in the church and was really involved with every single aspect of the Baptist church.
02:23:34.000And yes, they were teaching a good way of life, you know, to be honest and, you know.
02:23:39.000All those things that you should be and you should follow those 10 commandments.
02:23:43.000Anyway, you know they're all good, except for one of them or something.
02:23:46.000I don't want them, I don't like, but I can't remember which one it was, but uh, but anyway uh, I came away from the whole thing with that.
02:23:58.000I'm like, how do I know you know my family that we never talked about politics that much.
02:24:03.000We were a little town up in the Panhandle and they were all Baptist or Church OF Christ and even they didn't agree with each other And the Church OF Christ is kind of a Texas religion.
