We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:00:10.720
Fast-free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.
00:00:25.260
Wi-Fi available to Airplane members on Equipped Flight.
00:00:31.280
Do you see that thing with the mayor of New York?
00:00:43.700
They're teaching parents how to search your kid's room to find drugs and gun stuff.
00:00:53.040
But if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding.
00:00:59.140
The fucking government was like, make it scary as fuck.
00:01:07.980
You're going to scare the fuck out of these people.
00:01:10.580
It almost seems like the story before Castlevania starts it, like on a video game.
00:01:20.580
But if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding.
00:01:51.080
It's just a baby doll, but also it could be a place where you can secrete or hide drugs.
00:01:59.960
Like a pillow like this with a button is a perfect invitation to hide something.
00:02:16.980
You know, in India, they have a cast of people called the Untouchables.
00:02:33.220
But it is when I encounter a food delivery person in the wild, I look away.
00:02:50.920
I just feel like if you're delivering DoorDash, I just inherently...
00:03:44.040
And we were hanging out and everything was great.
00:04:01.000
I saw him and I knew something was going to happen.
00:04:30.540
You know, I'm sitting next to her and everything's going great.
00:05:01.960
A lot of the black girls in our town and stuff would get knocked up by the black guys at
00:05:07.420
So all of our black girls disappeared at around 13 years old and got pregnant.
00:05:14.060
And then they come back and they're just different or they just, like, um, yeah, they have a child
00:05:19.620
now or they have, like, baby milk on their shoulder or whatever.
00:05:26.900
Like, the black kids in our school were more sexually advanced.
00:05:33.360
The black girls were intimidating because they had more experience.
00:05:53.720
Yeah, she worked for somebody and I was working out there and she worked for a friend of mine,
00:06:00.520
She was actually pregnant when we hooked up already, too.
00:06:06.420
That's crazy in the eyes of God, but I don't know.
00:06:08.740
And we're still friends that I still, I mean, Raekwon, her son, works for me now.
00:06:23.600
I like to be on the line because I know how fast I can go.
00:06:27.560
Even if I drop stuff, you know, I just keep on going.
00:06:30.720
Just keep on going, just like your lunch lady, Annie.
00:06:32.980
Well, she was, we had a couple of good lunch ladies.
00:06:34.740
We had this one lady we had named Sarge, actually, and she was, I think, a, she loved
00:06:44.620
Oh, yeah, we had this other lady, Miss Moncreef.
00:06:50.300
She, uh, she'd always be like, make sure to get your spedaghetty.
00:07:07.020
And instead of saying cake, she would say like, this is crazy, but she would kind of
00:07:13.000
So she'd be like, and get you a cut of coconut cack over there.
00:07:17.200
See, I think we all have to be a little nudge, you know, to be over there so long around everybody.
00:07:23.060
You know, most think I am a little off, but it's okay because I've accepted that.
00:07:30.340
I remember for $11, you could stay at the place, right?
00:07:43.180
And they had, they also had this like premier buffet for like two more dollars.
00:07:47.300
You could go, they had like this kind of roped off area of the buffet and down there they
00:07:51.300
had fucking salmon or whatever, you know, damn, you know, special pickles, salmon, honeydew
00:07:59.680
Like I'd never, shit, you'd never seen fucking gay watermelon.
00:08:04.820
When you're a kid, all that shit's nice until you get older and you're like, why am I eating
00:08:17.940
Now, Willie, what would it take to get you to cheer for another team?
00:08:29.780
Well, what amount of p*** would it take for you?
00:08:35.660
Now, what if a woman came and I'm talking a lady came over from Texas A&M.
00:08:42.360
I'm talking a lady rides up in a Corvette, Willie.
00:08:46.560
With some of that fucking, that real, that real.
00:08:50.880
She got some titties look like two angry dogs trying to chew on your cock.
00:08:56.240
And tell me this, she got that cooter on her, that aggie.
00:09:24.560
Every now and then he'd have a chick stay over and I'd go in there and play.
00:09:35.040
Yeah, that's the song you would play while the guy was getting...
00:09:40.500
It's about his fucking son falling out of a window.
00:10:03.880
So your friend's dad, who's giving you shelter, is getting...
00:10:11.280
And he has to battle that Viagra's up against that old man's LED.
00:11:24.620
Like, oh, here's the cases they're doing today.
00:11:26.360
Because then I could see if I want to pretend like I'm racist or not to try and get out of it.
00:11:31.180
I roll right in there and tell them I'm racist.
00:11:36.640
And last time, they're like, we have so many racists here today.
00:11:39.900
We still have to ask you guys a couple questions.
00:11:46.880
Like, we just go and grab a random group of a hundred of America's dumbest people and be like,
00:11:52.700
We're going to use 10 of you to solve this murder.
00:11:59.860
This bitch works at a Leslie's Pool Supply and now they're fucking in charge of a murder?
00:12:04.480
Now they're trying to figure out who killed Kennedy right here.
00:12:09.120
And some guy's like, I don't know the difference between a cucumber and a pickle.
00:12:30.120
It was like their NCAA, their college football pool they did every year.
00:12:35.700
He was so excited he could have changed his life.
00:12:38.200
And instead, his mom convinced him to buy a Christmas village of like rare Christmas village houses.
00:13:04.900
Running into a lot of issues, but God, that just broke him, man.
00:13:16.100
He said he took out an $800 life insurance policy on his wife.
00:13:26.180
When I say I know them, I was probably a kid and there was people that worked around where I live with my...
00:13:39.940
He did it his whole building the pillows, you know?
00:13:55.820
It's like they dust a pillow with crack before they ship it.
00:13:58.880
People are like, yo, this is the best fucking pillow I've ever had in my life.
00:14:03.480
It's like crack bae, that guy like this, you know?
00:14:08.240
There's a guy on the assembly line just like, as they pass.
00:14:12.080
I was going to say, probably, I wish meth had like a birth control aspect to it.
00:14:19.220
I think when you smoke meth, just everything dries up.
00:14:36.580
Dude, you know, my body figured I was tweaking and like, you know, and they showed me how
00:14:43.500
And so they showed me how to take the little silver thing off the bulb and you can take
00:14:49.360
And then you put some warm salt water in there and swish it around.
00:14:55.400
So then you kind of just tap some shit down in there and you can burn it and smoke it.
00:15:13.280
And then two days later, somebody finally snaps me out of it by knocking on my door.
00:15:21.060
And I hear the knock on the slider door and I'm like, oh, fucking I put my guitar down
00:15:27.160
Like, don't like I hate to leave you like, oh, you know, I wanted that guitar so bad still
00:15:34.880
And I all go open the door and my friend Brendan's there.
00:15:41.000
And I go in the bathroom and I look in the mirror and my face is all green.
00:15:46.600
Like, I thought it was like from the meth or something.
00:15:51.220
And it was from like, I was playing my guitar for so long that the bronze on my strings had
00:15:56.500
like gone to my fingers and I had touched my face.
00:15:58.980
And so I had green shit on my face from my guitar strings.
00:16:01.840
And I was so twacked out, you know, I didn't know what the fuck was going on.
00:16:05.280
I took this girl home from the bar the other night.
00:16:09.820
I just, someone caught me, you know, it was just different.
00:16:14.440
Something different about her, you know, she was kind of shy, but I liked her.
00:16:18.620
So I got her home and when we pulled her pants off, she had nipples on her butt cheeks, man.
00:16:32.840
How to feel about it, feel about it with them hands, baby.
00:16:39.240
Now I wouldn't motorboat them or you're going to end up in some dirty oil.
00:16:47.900
It's great to challenge yourself and to push new limits and go to different heights.
00:16:58.600
So if you down and you all the time, how is that going to make you feel down, depressed?
00:17:07.660
Now I got to revert to this versus like, man, like, okay, I didn't fail.
00:17:18.900
Like a lawyer usually, but you're never supposed to say you're competitive, but I want, you
00:17:25.600
know, there's been a lot of music biopics and I wanted to do a great fucking job, man.
00:17:34.800
This little misconception about actors too and acting, you can have a cushy job on a TV
00:17:38.720
If you don't give a fuck about your work, it could be a great lifestyle, right?
00:17:41.640
You're making like high six figures, maybe low seven figures and you're just showing up
00:17:45.760
And if you give a fuck about what you're doing, these are, these are long ass days.
00:17:50.540
These are 14 hour days, six days a week sometimes, you know, three months.
00:17:54.640
Look, I know, I know people got it way harder, but I want to feel that grit.
00:18:01.140
I fucking really, I feel like I'm the hardest working man.
00:18:11.020
Like, this is too weird a lifestyle to be nonchalant about.
00:18:21.980
And did you guys ever catch anybody having sex or anything like that?
00:18:33.420
But we had a direct incident with one of our guards.
00:18:44.520
He, he, he was a baggy pant, dicky wearing guy like me.
00:18:49.120
But he was messing around with the girl from Cinnabon.
00:18:53.100
So the girl from Cinnabon, we were watching her go from Cinnabon to the parking lot to her car.
00:19:01.640
And he, I think he was, I think he was the employee, one of the employees from the movie theater goes in there.
00:19:29.320
And in addition to people helping each other get jobs, people were helping each other.
00:19:35.480
I went on dates off of, um, Craigslist before, you know, I mean, I would use casual encounters too.
00:19:41.760
You know, it's like, that was sometimes, um, I met a girl one time and we watched a Nets game and made love, honestly.
00:19:50.940
And I was like, you know, and it was, we had a great time.
00:19:56.680
Well, there's a, there's no accounting for taste.
00:20:57.260
Yeah, I was with, I've had three really long term relationships.
00:21:02.040
I had already felt so fucking terrible about cheating on girls.
00:21:08.840
And those were the, like, I can remember those phone calls.
00:21:12.080
Trying to explain why it didn't, you didn't care.
00:21:19.400
Well, it's tied with driving to someone's apartment to tell them that you're breaking up.
00:21:25.660
I mean, those, those two for me are like, I've had a lot of motorcycle injuries.
00:21:30.580
I'd take them a million times before I'd ever drive to someone's apartment and just say,
00:21:39.480
Sometimes I have a tough time feeling proud of myself.
00:21:41.900
Do you know what that, you know, and I think I've had other people call in our, our show
00:21:50.200
I feel like, um, I almost feel like it's just, there's a disconnect, like it doesn't
00:21:57.240
Or I feel like maybe if I feel like I'm proud of myself, like if I actually feel proud of
00:22:02.900
myself, it'll go against some script that I've always had written or some thing that
00:22:10.260
You know, it's like, it's almost like it wouldn't, if I wrote on the wall of myself, I'm proud
00:22:14.460
of you, it wouldn't even fucking show up on the wall.
00:22:20.200
Um, like what emotion would I feel if I saw what?
00:22:26.460
Would you just, no, I think I'd feel ashamed of myself for even thinking it.
00:22:30.840
And it produced an emotion in you just now, even when you just thought about it, I saw
00:22:41.520
But yeah, we don't have any, we don't have any shame about that.
00:22:44.180
But I'm saying liquid leaving your body in a public place, as long as through your eyes is not
00:22:55.540
I'm sure glad that I didn't hang out with him, right?
00:22:58.500
You never got into, you never were in his universe.
00:23:00.100
I've met him, right, but never went out, right?
00:23:01.700
Is it scary when people get to a level of wealth that they can kind of have anything?
00:23:07.820
It's like, I'll get invited to these parties, right?
00:23:12.480
Right, but there'll be like 50 servants, right?
00:23:17.240
Five people to answer the door, six people that just specialize in toast, right?
00:23:23.340
And all over, I'm like, how do you live like this?
00:23:29.080
And so you have to have people there to clean it and stuff like that.
00:23:33.540
And there's people that'll have like 10 people in the house at all times.
00:23:39.360
Dude, I remember when I first got a clean lady to come once a week, I helped her like
00:24:08.240
That is me with one of those silicone masks on.
00:24:15.340
It's like the Guy Fieri hat that you buy at the store that comes with the hair.
00:24:32.840
And probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking.
00:24:41.120
We noticed the guy crawling, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet
00:24:52.420
We're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.
00:25:00.240
You're pointing at him for two minutes when you're fucking just finishing a beer?
00:25:10.540
And instead, you pop open another fucking bush light, dude.
00:25:14.840
Both of these gentlemen are just interesting creatures.
00:25:23.340
They got this dude off of Timu, this announcer.
00:25:45.920
And if you're coming here to work, you got to get to work.
00:25:49.760
Now, there are so many types of visas from, you know, from entertainment to family to work.
00:25:55.760
And it really just depends on what it is you're after.
00:25:59.380
If you're coming here and you have a valid passport and you have a, you want to be a tourist for six months, you get a tourist visa and you get it stamped and you fly in or drive in.
00:26:10.600
You come to the Port of Venture and you're free to move out of the country for six months.
00:26:16.360
So why do people not want to use the pathways, the legal pathways to immigration?
00:26:24.620
Ah, you're my mother's absolute favorite, dude.
00:26:26.840
Just because, this is why, she's probably never heard any of your music, but because you say what you want to say.
00:26:31.980
I came out with little fingers on my CDs, like, running my mouth.
00:26:36.160
It's like, I always say, and I sound redundant probably, but I haven't changed.
00:26:46.060
Because sometimes I think some things you say, I'm like, it seems like the, sometimes I'll be like, that seems kind of outdated.
00:26:55.460
I was talking cash money shit since I was broke when I was young.
00:27:03.100
I probably came out of the womb talking cash money shit.
00:27:07.000
And they're like, it's a boy, it's a girl, it's, it's somebody talking shit.
00:27:13.620
Just because like, I mean, obviously like so many people tell you all the time, just, you know, Dr. Feelgood, just so much of just like, I mean, my brother would beat me, beat me to you guys' music.
00:27:25.960
I was a snare for my brother and it was awesome though, but it was loving, you know, like.
00:27:29.100
How bad was it like when addiction hit you guys' band and stuff?
00:27:34.300
When you're looking around and you're seeing the guys in your band, everybody's this close from not waking up again.
00:27:47.660
Like, um, and you know, and you've, you've reached a level of like, um, doing crazy shit.
00:27:57.600
Like when you're shooting fucking Jack Daniels in your arm because you ran out of heroin, when you could just drink the fucking Jack and be like, oh, and just fucking drink.
00:28:09.920
We're out of heroin, but I mean, if we shoot it, it'll be fucking better.
00:28:17.160
Like when you're doing dumb shit like that, we're like, I think it's, someone's going to die here soon.
00:28:26.020
We were like, you know, we'd take handfuls of fucking halcyons, they were called.
00:28:31.700
And, and then we'd fucking and go that and go out for the night.
00:28:35.800
But those are all, these are all fucking like downers and sleeping pills.
00:28:41.840
You're, you're, we're doing such dumb, dangerous shit.
00:29:05.220
And down, but you can hear it in the music now.
00:29:07.320
Sometimes we go back for, for laughs and we'll listen to some of the shit I made when I was like in psychosis.
00:29:13.140
What would you say is the most fucked up you ever were for an album?
00:29:19.500
I was literally in psychosis from doing so much speed and, and, and downers, bro.
00:29:25.720
Um, I thought Southwest Airlines was trying to kill me.
00:29:30.180
Yeah, I thought Kyle took a life insurance policy out on me for 70 grand.
00:29:36.860
Somebody takes a life insurance policy out for $700, bro.
00:29:45.740
We were in, we were in New Zealand when he told me that.
00:29:47.420
He thought that they were putting a hit out on us.
00:29:53.680
At one point I was starting to get really impatient with it because like, I was tired of explaining.
00:29:59.720
I was tired of explaining that like this insane theory wasn't actually happening.
00:30:06.760
This was one time where he quit suicide boys on Twitter.
00:30:12.320
At the time he had just bought a condo in Bradenton, Florida, outside of Sarasota.
00:30:23.960
So long story short, we fly down there, rent a car, drive to his apartment.
00:30:32.980
And he's like, one second, I think to myself, like, man, I just flew out here.
00:30:42.780
He had to go to the bathroom, do his little thing, catch my drift.
00:30:47.820
And this long story to say, I was trying to like, see, I was like, is he fucking with
00:31:00.560
So I had to sit him down and I was like, bro, this Southwest thing.
00:31:03.940
Do you think that the board, like, like the people on the board of Southwest sit in a
00:31:11.980
And they, they discuss how we're going to assassinate scrim from Suicide Boys.
00:31:16.440
And he looked at me dead in the eyes, the most serious look on his face.
00:31:23.360
I took my phone and I threw it on the, I was trying to hit the grass, but I hit the
00:31:28.180
The fucker sparked it and, uh, I thought they were trying to kill me because my brother
00:31:35.620
had bootlegged one of our tracks and, and cause he was bad off on dope and sold it to
00:31:41.340
this person for like 800 bucks, but actually didn't give him the song and just scammed
00:31:46.860
And I thought the person he scammed was the son of somebody on the board of Southwest
00:31:53.520
To speak on the other, to speak on the other side of things, I'm thinking what is coming
00:32:00.460
Come to find out the story of his brother stealing a song and selling it is true.
00:32:03.900
So it's like, and I'm sitting there and I feel bad cause I'm like been calling him a
00:32:10.880
So then I'm like, all right, so is all of this true?
00:32:13.400
I still refuse to believe that the board of Southwest is meeting to discuss his assassination,
00:32:18.640
Like I had my, my brother and my family believe that I had fucking time, bro.
00:32:24.420
There's a guy living at our, at our house at the moment.
00:32:27.520
And, uh, he was like trying to get off work to just come down and just say hi.
00:32:34.700
I think you guys loitering must be a British thing.
00:32:42.000
Well, stalking is more like once you've loitered and you see something in the window,
00:32:45.260
you know, you see something, you see a bit of tits.
00:32:52.900
And then it's breaking and entering, you know, and then it's marriage usually.
00:33:26.000
His, how does he even know how to feel all this?
00:33:45.060
The kids aren't going to remember this fucking guy.
00:33:53.460
I'm just saying, like, how far can somebody see?
00:34:00.440
The average sight distance for a person with normal vision is about three miles.
00:34:05.780
When standing on a flat surface with their eyes about five feet above the ground.
00:34:19.620
We were just talking about David Spade, average read.
00:34:28.700
I mean, for one, you feel like you kind of work at Lowe's kind of a little.
00:34:33.540
Because it feels like you're supposed to be delivering something to somebody, but you never drop it off.
00:34:40.200
No, it's just the whole car feels a little bit like an appliance.
00:34:44.360
So it feels like sometimes somebody's just going to open up the back and just put a TV dinner in it.
00:34:50.660
You know, it just has this like kind of, or just put a load of laundry in there and just press a button.
00:34:56.100
You know, it has an appliancey kind of feel, but then it makes this sound when you go fast and it literally feels like you're going into the future.
00:35:07.880
Like there was a guy who like, I don't know if he was homeless or not, but he just, he just seemed really homeless.
00:35:20.500
And then he just kind of started yelling at it and just cracked a beer open.
00:35:23.840
And I was like, God, being married to a gay man would be fun because there's a feminine energy to him.
00:35:30.440
That would be like almost like having a girlfriend.
00:35:31.920
Oh, it's the largest Pomeranian you can have if you're a woman is a gay husband.
00:35:41.740
If you dated black girls, I'm willing to date a nice black girl.
00:35:58.060
And the titty, some of the titty went into the booty.
00:36:24.500
One time I hung around for a long time for the second look.
00:36:44.720
They want straight forward, especially coming from you.
00:36:51.000
I think more black women want you to be, you got to be more assertive.
00:36:55.280
Not too much because you know how y'all, y'all get.
00:37:30.020
But you got to be, you got to give them a little.
00:38:06.580
Anybody that wears open-toed shoes to their child's birth is obviously, first of all, a Jimmy Buffett fan.
00:38:16.900
I think Jimmy Buffett could wear thongs to the child's birth, I think.
00:38:24.040
Like, oh, I was saying, I pulled her right out.
00:39:07.780
By the way, Deep Roy has pretended to be an infant.
00:39:21.420
There's a lot of, look, things are getting so tough out there.
00:39:27.820
They just had a Russian girl who faked with the family to be able to eat and survive.
00:39:39.400
She's a great mom and everything, but she's busy.
00:39:43.160
So she might not notice if her son is Deep Roy.
00:39:52.920
Oh, you got a fucking young baby who's just in an Elvis outfit.
00:39:58.480
She might like how quickly he's growing and like, she might be like, my baby's so impressive.
00:40:15.780
Your wife is allergic to the fucking, you know what I mean, cat.
00:40:42.520
I don't know where you're going to have an Asian accent.
00:41:05.780
The people don't even get thought of anymore, it feels like, a lot of times.
00:41:08.600
And here's the toughest part, I think Bernie is, as a person who has felt like in their
00:41:13.860
life, maybe their father died in a war, their grandfather died in a war, and they've
00:41:17.460
tried to pay their taxes and be a considerate person in their town or their country.
00:41:22.820
After a while, those good people start, it starts to erode a little because they don't
00:41:30.560
feel like, and they lose their sense of purpose, man.
00:41:32.820
When you're, you lose the fabric of your society, a lot of people, that's how they, they didn't
00:41:38.840
A lot of us don't even realize that we identify as an American.
00:41:42.140
And when you realize, well, America, it's nothing, but it's a, it's a shell LLC for
00:41:52.700
And you almost feel ashamed of yourself, you know, or you can, you know?
00:41:57.780
A lot of that stuff just, I just don't see how people think that that's good or how you're
00:42:02.440
going to still be able to get people to buy in.
00:42:13.840
Many of these people have fought and died of their families, have fought and died in
00:42:19.260
And maybe they're, you know, nurses and they're, you know, business people.
00:42:27.320
And meanwhile, they're getting ripped off by people on top politically and economically.
00:42:31.360
Well, even the radio, like you're saying, it's like, you used to have like a newspaper
00:42:37.760
It used to be that your grandpa worked at the factory and they made the table.
00:42:45.500
And now it's like, we're buying stuff from countries that they're making it.
00:42:52.500
Nobody has any like, uh, there's no, there's no thread.
00:43:06.640
But I think it's, but I think you hit the nail on the head and you don't drink or smoke,
00:43:14.900
I've, uh, I had a great, uh, brother who taught me a lesson.
00:43:22.760
So I never had a cigarette and I've never had a glass of alcohol.
00:43:28.640
He would tell me cause he knew he had a problem and it'd say, don't ever drink.
00:43:33.440
He'd always add smoking because he did smoke a lot.
00:43:46.820
He was a great pilot and a very talented other pilots would come to his house to study with
00:43:55.200
And he was really talented that, but ultimately he had to give that because of the alcohol.
00:44:00.120
He had to give that up, which was a hard thing for him to do, but he had to give that up.
00:44:04.160
I saw where you had, your mom was out and you congratulated her on, she almost has 10 years of
00:44:15.840
What was it like growing up like with an alcoholic mother?
00:44:25.340
Like, is it hard to make a connection with your mom?
00:44:27.660
Like what are some of the side effects of that, uh, on a child?
00:44:31.640
Even as a young kid, I sort of very neatly divided the world into like three categories of
00:44:36.760
There were the helpless people, the victims, the people who needed to be helped.
00:44:40.520
There were the bad guys who were preying on the victims.
00:44:43.400
And then there were the strong people who sort of stood up, uh, for, for everybody else
00:44:49.660
That's like, you know, that's overly simplistic.
00:44:52.500
Um, but definitely, you know, I, I saw my mom growing up very much as this person who
00:44:59.960
was, who was kind of a victim and was being preyed on by, by bad people.
00:45:05.700
And then the person who was sort of looking up for us and standing up for me, especially
00:45:11.000
And, uh, I think that, that, that attitude of, you know, some people are just not as strong
00:45:21.040
I was pretty whiny, pretty resentful kid, was pissed off at my mom, was pissed off at
00:45:25.840
Cause I didn't have the things that I thought I should have.
00:45:27.980
And then eventually, yeah, there's me when I was much, much skinnier, much better looking.
00:45:32.800
The Marines, dude, that was the original Ozempic.
00:45:55.800
I seem to think that you seem to think that I'm their leader.
00:46:07.780
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
00:46:15.720
There was one lady that covered the Trump thing.
00:46:29.440
Trump has wooed this hyper-masculine online culture deeply.
00:46:34.040
During a recent podcast with the comedian Theo Wan, instead of talking about economy or immigration
00:46:42.320
or healthcare or the global conflicts, they discussed cocaine addiction.
00:46:56.420
And some people are just food, just real creeps when it comes to eating.
00:46:59.840
And, you know, I've had owl, you know, I don't know if we can say it or not, but.
00:47:25.420
No, but I did have, we had owl, my sister's at Tarvin, grilled up two owls.
00:47:57.500
You know, Thanksgiving, it's interesting that even time says, hey, hold on.
00:48:06.780
I need you to, you have to have some gratitude here.
00:48:11.340
You know, and I think that that, to me, that's pretty fascinating.
00:48:14.600
That that is a speed bump that's been put into our calendar.
00:48:27.300
Care about the things that have happened to you.
00:48:32.860
And so, yeah, I want to think about those today and just things that I'm thankful for.
00:48:47.520
I'm so thankful for that because otherwise everybody in your family would just wouldn't know how you felt about them.
00:48:59.200
Now I have to, like, look at real schools because my, you know, my oldest daughter's, like, going to turn five.
00:49:06.180
So, yes, she has to get, like, the real school system.
00:49:08.400
And we were looking at this one place and they have plainclothes just, like, guards now with guns.
00:49:17.020
I was like, dude, I really want to retire and become plainclothes.
00:49:26.200
You just wait for, like, some nerd to pop off and you just blast them.
00:49:34.180
But what if you fucking, what if you start tripping in your head and thinking that somebody's, like, some kid is, like, plotting and shit?
00:49:55.100
You're saying, like, get, like, all tripped out.
00:50:03.420
And the moment one of those motherfuckers pulled out the steel, I would just be there.
00:50:17.000
So before this, we were showing them episode one of a show I have coming out December 19th.
00:50:21.560
Yeah, you said there's a lot of world records that were broken in the shooting of this series.
00:50:30.780
We have, like, so many plaques now that we have up on our wall.
00:50:33.980
I'm basically making a wall out of Guinness plaques just from the show.
00:50:49.600
And a show, like, most money given away in the first episode of a show.
00:50:54.160
Oh, that's the most people **** probably since 9-11, I would think.
00:51:03.560
Yeah, I haven't seen that many people **** at the same time.
00:51:06.960
Wait, why was there a cut before you say what you're saying right now?
00:51:18.640
Oh, that's the most people **** at once that I'd seen since.
00:51:22.500
Oh, since I was in the parking lot of a widespread panic concert, you know.
00:51:35.360
But if I've done one thing well, it's what I call failure.
00:51:40.200
And that is I ran for sophomore, junior, and senior class presidents.
00:51:46.600
And based on my track record, I decided to run for student body president where I went on to, wait for it, lose.
00:51:55.600
I can't tell you how many women in Whole Foods and other places and other retail establishments I've been rejected by.
00:52:02.060
But the reason I get to live the life I lead, the reason I'm with a very high character, attractive person, is because I have always been able to endure rejection.
00:52:12.080
And that is the key, that is the skill, because one of the great things about America is we don't embrace failure, that's bullshit, but we tolerate it.
00:52:19.740
If your business fails, but you're a good person, usually your investors will back you again.
00:52:24.180
And if you approach a woman and express interest and she's not interested, you're both going to be fine.
00:52:46.080
That guy cycled through nine women who said, get the fuck away from me.
00:52:50.400
Before he found that one woman who gave him a chance to be funny, kind.
00:52:58.860
The key to success in America is what Winston Churchill said, and that is the willingness
00:53:04.220
to fail or your ability to fail and not lose your sense of enthusiasm.
00:53:11.620
At least I used to work in palliative care as a doctor looking after dying people.
00:53:16.460
You know what the top regret of dying people was?
00:53:18.640
That they didn't have the courage to be themselves.
00:53:22.240
And the third top regret was that they didn't have the courage to express their emotions.
00:53:27.580
They pretended to be happy when they were not and so on.
00:53:31.600
So the question for the rest of us is, do we want to wait till some terminal illness
00:53:39.500
Or should we just confront the fact that in so many ways we're afraid to be authentic
00:53:48.220
Do you kind of become like a stitch in the American flag?
00:53:52.340
I feel like you're like this thing that everybody feels like they can believe in, you know?
00:53:57.320
There was a time last year and I just had a prayer where I was like, I want to be happy,
00:54:18.000
You're going to pay me to go fucking relive my life.
00:54:20.420
Like you said, hey, Sean, you want to go hit the restart button?
00:54:25.180
The school system's like, oh, Sean, like, he's just a bad kid.
00:54:27.560
They don't realize I'm up till three o'clock in the morning.
00:54:35.180
Like, I remember when I stopped believing in God, man.
00:54:50.820
Like, I heard when I was a kid that, like, if you peed around your.
00:54:54.980
Like, animals could pee somewhere that other animals wouldn't come.
00:55:40.600
I think some hard things that people don't understand, like trauma, you know?
00:56:21.600
Yeah, when I was a kid, I used to scratch my gum.
00:56:35.780
I mean, the day, dude, like, I'm a grown-ass man.
00:56:46.940
Like, when I talk about, like, oh, I kill a man.
00:56:52.300
You're like, when you go through that level of trauma, like, you just view the world differently.
00:57:06.580
Well, back in March, I had a little incident with a girl.
00:57:20.340
And now, Raleigh, at this point, you're still in your ejaculatory, promissory note with the Lord is still intact, right?
00:57:33.740
Did you end up, I mean, like, how did it end, dude?
00:57:36.560
Like, did you end up, you know, creaming that little nugget, or what happened?
00:57:54.340
I just want to shake the hand of a man that's come recently this year.
00:58:07.940
Well, sniffing that cocaine all over town, honey, don't let my deal go down.
00:58:34.040
Doctor said he'd kill you, but he didn't know when.
00:59:55.760
It's killed my friends, it's going to kill me too
