Today's episode is brought to you by Grayblock Pizza.
00:00:03.640
If you've wanted that feeling in your mouth that's warm and cheesy and meaty and crusty,
00:00:10.920
well, you don't have to do something unnatural anymore.
00:00:15.080
You can go to a wonderful place called Grayblock Pizza in Los Angeles,
00:00:25.000
Today's guest is a man, and he's really one of a kind.
00:00:37.380
He is a part of the Bad Friends podcast and host of Whiskey Ginger.
00:01:27.020
At some point, I don't know, we might find out that he's not real.
00:01:32.140
Oh, at some point, the Jumanji game is going to end somewhere, and he's going to disappear.
00:02:00.500
Barndor Schlubin is probably, you guys are worse friends.
00:02:08.740
Bobby and I are friends because we get mad at each other all the time.
00:02:13.260
Like, are you and Brennan friends because you bicker a lot?
00:02:16.340
Do you bicker a lot and it makes you closer or no?
00:02:20.240
I mean, yeah, the reason the show even started was because we were ripping on each other.
00:02:24.460
Okay, so with us, it started because we undeniably have opposing lifestyles.
00:02:30.080
So we would tease each other and get mad at each other for it.
00:02:33.840
I hated that he played video games till four in the morning.
00:02:42.740
And we make fun of each other for it, but it just, it works.
00:02:45.800
Like, the way that you and Barnyard shit on each other.
00:02:49.560
It's beautiful because I know half of it's real and half of it's all love.
00:02:54.220
But it's, you know, there's a balance to all of it.
00:02:57.260
Yeah, it's that heartfelt dung, really, a lot of it, you know?
00:03:01.860
It's like, hey, here's a turd, but man, you know, I put a valentine at the end of it.
00:03:06.680
Yeah, I wrapped this piece of shit for you, but you mean a lot to me.
00:03:14.960
I'm going to Nashville to look around over there.
00:03:22.580
When you said you were looking at Nashville, I looked at houses online just to see what
00:03:39.080
You know, when somebody's like, I'm moving to Cincinnati, you're like, all right, you're
00:03:44.440
But you go to Nashville, it's still like it is out here.
00:03:47.640
It's a little expensive in the sense of like, you know, you're going to get your money's
00:03:58.280
Nashville is a hub for music and culture and art.
00:04:00.940
Anytime you get that, you're going to have people going there from places like Illinois
00:04:31.060
When it gets to that age, when it's the final 20, when it's that final 20 years, when that
00:04:38.180
When that last lap starts, the big move is to stay in front of the TV as long as you
00:04:44.540
Because when they go to bed, then you go, oh, I fell asleep.
00:04:51.160
Sometimes he sleeps in the guest room sometimes because he says he didn't...
00:04:53.680
If he goes, oh, I had a cough or I didn't feel good.
00:04:57.940
Do you like sleeping in the same bed as a lady?
00:04:59.780
I don't like sleeping in the same apartment as a lady.
00:05:02.620
That's why I want to get a big enough house where my wife can be on one side.
00:05:08.000
They're just big enough homes where they split.
00:05:57.320
Read something that you throw down in your phone recently.
00:06:06.380
I thought it would be good if they had a game show where it was blind people making puzzles,
00:06:28.960
When I have a son, I'll hit him in the face if he calls me daddy.
00:06:45.040
Dude, I get a DM from this company that I've never answered.
00:06:51.120
But for the past seven months, they've hit me up and they say, who's your jeweler?
00:07:34.140
Wouldn't that be funny if you had $20,000 on each leg?
00:07:41.080
But I wonder what jewelry is going to be like in the future.
00:07:44.080
Like if people are going to start to get more stuff installed into their bodies.
00:08:02.920
Now they can drill a hole and put a diamond in your tooth.
00:08:27.120
And you know they grow him for the show when they do recordings?
00:08:35.460
Look at him with that girl in that Vice article up there.
00:08:57.140
Like, dude, I remember when I went on semester at sea, so it was like a school, you know?
00:09:04.020
So I remember we were coming into port in the morning.
00:09:06.400
We would get into, like, the different port cities, because you kind of go to different
00:09:12.180
I remember being up in the morning was the biggest thing.
00:09:14.700
If you could be up at, like, 5 a.m. as you come into the port of a new country you've
00:09:20.720
And I remember getting into Vietnam and, like, passing fishing boats, like, in a—I mean,
00:09:29.020
And passing fishing boats, like, little guy, hat, you know, like, mouthful of melon.
00:09:36.140
Like, he would fill his mouth with melon in the morning and then just only swallow a little
00:09:41.560
Kind of like one of those little drip bottles for a hamster, but built into him.
00:09:44.620
And then—and he would just be out there just fishing, man.
00:09:48.600
And a cruise ship—it was almost like just two time zones passing each other, like—
00:09:54.560
Just—and it would just be so bizarre, like, the wake of this cruise ship just going and—
00:09:59.460
Yeah, lifting these little bitty skiffs that they were out there.
00:10:04.220
He's sitting out there doing fishing in the morning.
00:10:05.540
And you guys, meanwhile, are showing up just to party.
00:10:11.040
Doing bootleg cocaine that we bought in some country that we made.
00:10:26.840
You weren't going to get high, but you weren't going to—you weren't going to get hurt.
00:10:36.900
And you're—you're going to get a headache, and your stomach kind of turns, and you feel gross.
00:10:47.740
This guy had this whole little deal going on, and he was making it, man.
00:10:54.400
It was—even if it didn't work, just getting some.
00:10:57.700
Half of the fun was getting drugs, and then when you get drugs, you do them, and you're
00:11:01.720
like, this is great, but getting the drugs was really fun.
00:11:04.560
Yeah, because the people you would get in trouble with—dude, I've told this story
00:11:07.500
before, but I used to do drugs with this guy whose parents were both deaf.
00:11:10.940
Yeah, and his dad would come in the room sometimes, and we'd be high as shit.
00:11:24.460
I don't even know this kid—I don't remember his name.
00:11:26.400
I just remember he had deaf parents, and I really—
00:11:38.380
Yo, Cheeto, fucking—I've got a question for you.
00:11:44.980
I think mine is probably fucking heroin, because, you know, no fucking needles.
00:11:52.600
Dude, a big guy like that could handle a little bit of hair.
00:11:56.600
He could handle a frickin', you know, a little vein.
00:11:58.800
He could get the size of those baseball mitt hands, he's—
00:12:00.560
No, you could shoot right into that middle finger, dog.
00:12:06.300
I mean, he did say—but that's the thing about the mistake of heroin.
00:12:16.220
That's not—I don't think I would want to do heroin, but I think the drug I really wouldn't take—
00:12:20.560
I don't think I will—I don't think I'll ever do ayahuasca.
00:12:26.940
And if people are having a religious experience on it, I don't know if I really—I've done
00:12:46.740
I think I've done enough drugs that I needed to do.
00:12:54.060
But they're chocolate mushrooms, and you take a little bit—
00:13:02.380
I had people—it was two of my friend's birthdays, and we threw a little, like, happy birthday,
00:13:06.720
and then we projected a movie on the garage wall outside.
00:13:25.560
I don't want to do—I did drugs when I was young as much as I could, and then now I'm like—
00:13:35.280
Yeah, I just—I can't—my—your body is—you ruin two days now.
00:13:39.540
I used to be able to do drugs and function or—
00:13:55.460
People are like, oh, man, this restaurant's great, dude.
00:14:04.240
I was—I just—I just never—I just got to a point, I think, where I did a lot of
00:14:10.840
And then now all I like to do was smoke some weed and drink, but even weed has taken a
00:14:18.160
And do you ever remember—I remember getting so high at this girl's house one time when
00:14:21.980
I was young that I couldn't even—I remember telling some girl, like, I remember being
00:14:28.440
stuck in this bedroom, like, laying on my back on this bed or couch, and I was so high.
00:14:33.780
Like, everybody else had gotten high and gone and do something fun.
00:14:37.260
And I was like, all right, I'm coming, and as I'm getting up to leave out of the door,
00:14:46.560
And so I'm, like, laying there, and some girl came back in the room to get something,
00:14:50.920
And I remember just being like, hey, hey, hey, you know, get me, you know?
00:14:56.560
And I remember this girl looking at me, and I think she thought I was trying to hit on her
00:15:03.260
Because I'll try to fuck, even though I'm down for the count, you know?
00:15:08.240
Yeah, halfway through a 10 count, I'll still get my dick up, you know?
00:15:11.220
Even at six, I'll fuck and say, hey, come fuck, you know?
00:15:14.380
But I remember this girl just looking at me, and I remember speaking, but I couldn't—it
00:15:28.260
And I just remember being trapped there, literally felt like I was loitering in my own body that
00:15:34.320
Like, just wandering around the hallways of my body.
00:15:41.760
I had—I got so high one time at a college party, and I went in this girl's room to
00:15:48.300
just get away from people, because I was getting—I was like, my heart was jumping, I was feeling
00:15:51.540
really fucked up, and I was like having a panic attack that I'm like, I'm too drunk,
00:15:54.960
I'm too fucking high, I'm on a few things, I'm feeling real fucked up.
00:16:00.520
I go and sit down in her bed, and I curled up, and I woke up to her and her roommate screaming
00:16:11.820
I had like dried tears at this point, because I cried, prayed to God ten times, don't let
00:16:16.100
me die like this in this fucking—in this girl's one bedroom, one bath.
00:16:24.720
But if I'm going to die of drugs, I want to die in a big house.
00:16:31.400
They find you right away, they walk in, they know you're right there.
00:16:37.620
There's no hearing their heels walk on the nice floors as they look for you?
00:16:57.440
I got myself in bad situations in college with drugs.
00:16:59.600
That's probably why I don't want to do them anymore.
00:17:01.520
Just nights of like—I remember sitting watching my buddy—
00:17:09.560
As long as other people were doing it, I'll take it.
00:17:12.840
I didn't really—I was like, okay, if other people were doing it, I was down to have fun with—
00:17:19.400
But I remember one night my buddy was playing—he played an acoustic guitar.
00:17:24.120
And he was so high on cocaine that he was playing so much.
00:17:28.500
And, you know, he's doing that, like, Coke mouth.
00:17:30.660
And he doesn't even realize he's cutting his finger.
00:17:32.700
His cuticles are bleeding because he's playing so hard.
00:17:34.880
But I didn't want to stop him because the song was so good.
00:17:41.040
You're only going to get Dave Matthews crash into me so many times live.
00:17:45.920
Yeah, I've seen some people do some nasty shit on drugs.
00:17:50.860
Yeah, the older you get and you see people get real fucked up.
00:18:00.560
Well, when you're younger, it's more like you have time to kill for sure.
00:18:06.220
So it's like, oh, if I burn two days doing this or—
00:18:16.060
Like, oh, if I just lay in my bed for a day and a half, it's going to be chill.
00:18:21.940
Also, I think when you're young, you want to test your limits of your body because your—
00:18:27.080
Kids think they're invincible because you kind of are.
00:18:30.500
You can get into a car accident and the next day as a young—as a 20-year-old, I could
00:18:46.240
It's just you test limits of your body when you're young because you're flawless.
00:18:54.960
Then that afternoon, go to a party, stay up till 5 a.m., get on a flight the next day, go with
00:19:00.920
Then you get older and your body slowly just goes, nuh-uh, nuh-uh, dude.
00:19:11.220
It's like—and then young people are always like, oh, whatever.
00:19:17.200
It starts to feel—you start to feel like it's—you can't do as much as you used to.
00:19:23.060
You know what it feels like when a dad is playing sports with you, shooting hoops.
00:19:33.460
Now sometimes when I'm doing something, I'll go, fuck my back.
00:19:40.340
And you start to—like, you start to, like, whatever you're doing, you start to—as
00:19:50.420
So you're like, okay, I'm playing defense this time.
00:19:52.920
I'm not playing defense next time down the court because I don't have—you know, I can
00:20:00.580
Now, if I only had to do something in four—if I had to do something in four days, then
00:20:05.620
But I got to do something in three days, so I'm going to have to kind of monitor.
00:20:10.920
Yeah, you do—you, like, start to compromise with yourself on what you're willing to sacrifice.
00:20:14.060
But it does get that—I mean, dude, even traveling—
00:20:16.380
Oh, let's go to—let's go to Dave and Buster's.
00:20:22.340
You know, when you travel for stand-up, don't you feel the same way that there's days when
00:20:25.200
you travel that you can handle the plane schedule if you're jumping around, like, show to show
00:20:30.160
And then there's some times when city to city to city, it just hits me way harder.
00:20:34.720
There's some days when I'm, like, more exhausted from the night after night after night, even
00:20:40.720
Even if my diet's the same or I'm not drinking as much.
00:20:45.960
Sometimes I'll wake up in a city and just go, God, I'm, like, tired and in pain.
00:20:49.980
And I think when I first started going on the road, dude, when I was 22.
00:21:01.840
I drove back, did the stand-up, got back in my car and drove right back.
00:21:05.480
Of course, it was, like, two or three days in my mind.
00:21:11.340
Just to tell other comedians of, too, yeah, you know, I featured out there in Helena.
00:21:29.400
Kicked my feet up and just fucking let it ride.
00:21:35.040
I remember times thinking, okay, instead of catching a flight for $217, I'm going to rent
00:21:45.440
And then I'm going to drive it seven hours overnight to get to a cheaper airport where
00:21:56.620
Just the couple of bucks back then meant everything.
00:22:06.180
It was like, if I can waste an extra day getting what I need done to get to where I need to
00:22:13.500
You know, I didn't lose any money, especially because you're nickel and dime on your way
00:22:25.220
Like, I just, beef jerky and protein bars and stuff like Gatorades.
00:22:34.660
Like, I didn't have like a real sit-down dinner until I was like late in my 20s.
00:22:40.900
But before that, you just, you know, you just, you lived, you lived as cheaply and efficiently
00:22:46.200
But now, you know, now you can eat a good meal once in a while.
00:23:01.400
Whoever gets the hook and their cut of fish has to buy the next meal.
00:23:18.620
I used to have friends that did it all the time.
00:23:24.080
I went to school with a lot of rich kids when I was in college.
00:23:37.520
Because I went to University of Arizona for one semester.
00:23:44.180
It is the, it's like, what's the cousin who has the, in Christmas Vacation who has the-
00:23:56.900
That's, that's, that's, that's what it is down there.
00:24:00.000
But yeah, I went to school with guys that had money because they came from California.
00:24:03.180
A lot of guys that can't get into Ivy Leagues and want to move away from where they are,
00:24:08.260
Well, because California has so many good schools.
00:24:09.800
And if they don't want to go to a local school that isn't that good of a school, then they
00:24:14.940
Just because it's a nice getaway, but it's close enough, you know?
00:24:19.260
A lot of pool parties, a lot of cocaine, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of girls that are
00:24:23.980
tens hooking up with sub sevens, you know, like I'm a six and a half and I could get eights
00:24:33.380
I was eating, I was eating, I was steak and lobster every night.
00:24:39.380
They're like, damn, who installed a Denny's in this freaking Morton's?
00:24:44.920
But I, but that's, that's the funny thing is like, there's so many, uh, hot guys and
00:24:49.140
hot girls that at some point you're going to get some, you're going to get something
00:24:53.440
Oh, sometimes when the hot truck of girls goes by and hits a speed bump, one of them
00:24:59.860
No, you have, at some point it's like you, so many people were so hot that even like
00:25:04.080
a, a, a girl that was a nine or a, it was so beautiful.
00:25:08.300
The guys were already with the other hot girls.
00:25:11.800
Like a nine would have to get like her pupils dilated for some condition she had.
00:25:15.540
And then you would end up dating her for a while.
00:25:17.980
And then three months later when her eyes went back to normal, she's like, Oh my God.
00:25:30.380
You had to try, like, she'd be like, Oh, why is your bedroom a wedding chapel?
00:25:34.240
It'd be like, look, I got to, I have to make ends meet.
00:25:42.860
What was your first, what was your first job out of school?
00:25:51.220
I still, it took me a long time to get you and Bert.
00:25:56.560
Did you work, you worked your way through college though, didn't you?
00:26:00.540
I was still doing, you know, I still, that's, I was doing MTV when I first started that.
00:26:07.480
So that stuff was like, sometimes it would take you out of school and then I would change
00:26:11.920
I would be like, all right, I'm going to move here.
00:26:22.260
Because when I met you, I didn't know about any of that stuff.
00:26:26.540
Well, but, but even still, I, even after people referenced it, never knew it.
00:26:32.420
Like I had known what all those popular shows were.
00:26:34.520
I had seen real world when I was younger and all that stuff.
00:26:36.500
But like, when I met you, even when I had known that you had done it in the past, it
00:26:44.340
Maybe because I never saw you or anything like that.
00:26:49.740
Like, what's one of your favorite reality shows over time?
00:26:51.660
Did you ever watch For Love or Money or any of those?
00:27:02.860
I thought that shit was wild because it was like, that dude had no filter.
00:27:06.500
When I first moved here, he didn't give a fuck.
00:27:19.200
He's easily the first black man to conceive a child with a 70-year-old white woman.
00:27:29.420
Look, I'm going to give you the name Nicorette, you know?
00:27:33.160
Because you got me quitting all these other bitches.
00:27:35.740
You know, you always have, like, weird names, man.
00:27:42.860
He was, dude, he was a, when I worked in the music industry, one of my first day jobs
00:27:55.420
Yeah, one of my day jobs was getting visas for bands to travel around the world.
00:28:06.400
I just thought he looks exactly like Flavor Flav.
00:28:18.720
You gotta be rich enough to leak your own BF photo.
00:28:24.160
Like, they tried to get Jimmy Kimmel recently, right?
00:28:26.560
And then he had to, like, apologize or whatever.
00:28:30.940
I don't think Jimmy Kimmel's gonna be back on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
00:28:46.280
And also, late night shows, they always take off the summer.
00:28:49.840
And they do this a lot, where they bring in people.
00:28:53.400
Carson used to let Leno and Letterman guest hosts.
00:28:58.080
Also, he's taking off the summer to be with his family.
00:29:01.840
I also think doing late night right now must suck.
00:29:11.100
And it must suck for the hosts that usually do it,
00:29:16.220
Now, they're doing it from their house or from a studio that looks like their house.
00:29:19.380
I'm sure guys like Jimmy just aren't loving that, to be real.
00:29:29.200
That whole sketch that they did, the blackface sketch,
00:29:31.520
give anything context, and you'll understand why they did it.
00:29:35.660
Ted Danson did blackface, and Whoopi Goldberg was all supportive of it
00:29:45.300
If you're doing blackface, you know, at a Nazi Hitler party,
00:29:51.940
But if you did it for a TV show sketch, get the fuck out of here.
00:29:57.220
Well, because also it's like, if people co-signed it at that time
00:30:01.360
and nobody said anything, like, it's just, it just all goes into
00:30:05.280
how often, when, what can you go, you could go back to something
00:30:12.280
Like, obviously, Jimmy Kimmel, it doesn't seem like he is a person
00:30:16.240
who is trying to, like, offend, but he's had tons of black people
00:30:21.840
You know, it doesn't add up that, oh, this, it's not the same thing.
00:30:27.100

Listen up, all you business owners and entrepreneurs, the French.
00:32:38.320
In these COVID times, there's never been a better time to step up your web game, your website,
00:32:43.980
to have your business prepared for the new world we are currently living in.
00:32:48.800
You know, the old world, you'd go down the street.
00:32:52.060
You'd do it, you know, walk into a licorice shop and get you a licorice.
00:32:55.060
Walk into a roller skate town and get a, you know, get a skate on your foot.
00:33:04.680
And I'm excited to tell you about Modify and their game-changing service that rivals any
00:33:17.360
Modify provides a subscription-based professional web design service for the cost of your old
00:33:25.180
You know, we recently needed a new website update, Futurizing.
00:33:29.840
And that's TheoVon.com and you can check it out.
00:33:40.160
It's like being on a swing set in the future on your front porch of the moon.
00:33:48.320
But the deal that they offer, that's just as novel as their style.
00:33:52.880
For just $249 a month, you will enjoy getting your website created and upkept.
00:34:00.520
You get the relief of an easy process, quick turnaround, and an evergreen website.
00:34:07.740
With other professional services, you'll pay $10,000 to $20,000 for the same service every
00:34:15.540
You'll have a great personal design team assigned to your account to handle all of your website
00:34:21.180
That's unlimited updates, unlimited support, easy editing tools, and future redesigns.
00:34:47.960
But that's the thing is people don't care sometimes.
00:34:55.340
Look at what Twitter has done publicly to a lot of stuff.
00:34:57.280
It's turned things into shit that never existed, right?
00:35:02.880
Ellen's getting murdered, bro, because of Twitter.
00:35:07.020
You want to talk about someone that might lose their show, not Jimmy Kimmel.
00:35:10.820
But she's notoriously been a real piece of shit.
00:35:13.580
But that being said, being a piece of shit isn't illegal.
00:35:17.800
I don't agree with, but also, I don't even know what she did.
00:35:21.540
Like, my whole thing is, like, did she outright say, like, I don't hire fucking Asians or derogatory comments out loud?
00:35:39.920
And also, there's a thing about, look, at a certain level of power, at a certain level of prestige...
00:35:50.040
A lot of your character defects are going to be magnified so much.
00:35:59.580
It's almost like, I will say this, it's like a corporation.
00:36:02.760
Like, people are always like, these big corporations, you know, they're killing...
00:36:05.940
You know, Kraft Macaroni killed my son, you know?
00:36:15.520
But it's like, people always want to blame big corporations.
00:36:18.040
Because they get too big and they can't manage things at a comfortable level.
00:36:29.840
So, if the person on the first floor of the building is upset that they don't get treated a certain way...
00:36:36.340
You know, some of that could be because there's 40 floors of business that have been operating.
00:36:40.540
So, whatever trickle-down kindness, it's just not there, you know?
00:36:44.580
Didn't they say it was more her producers than her?
00:36:46.520
Like, from what I read, it was like a lot of...
00:36:48.540
They said the executive producers were abusive in their approach or whatever.
00:36:54.240
There wasn't a lot of quotes from her that I heard about her saying shit.
00:36:57.860
Now, whether or not people say she was mean to them or disrespectful or whatever, that is what it is.
00:37:02.900
But again, like we said, like, that's not against the law to be mean.
00:37:11.100
Do we want people to change and get better or no?
00:37:14.320
Do we want people to change or we just want to burn them to the ground?
00:37:16.460
Because I've yet to find a quote, if you can find it, where it's like, direct from Ellen said, fuck black people, said Ellen.
00:37:26.920
It said, alleged racism and intimidation on the show.
00:37:36.200
Former employees say Ellen's be kind talk show mantra is a toxic war culture.
00:37:46.500
Like, somebody had a great talk with me about Chris Hardwick's thing.
00:37:52.880
You know, when they said Hardwick, his ex said he was emotionally abusive.
00:38:11.680
What past relationship of yours, your ex, wasn't emotionally abusive?
00:38:17.860
I bet you were fucking mean to each other when it was over.
00:38:23.380
And manipulation because you guys are fighting over certain things.
00:38:26.460
Everything is context, but we don't know what was going on inside of that world.
00:38:29.600
I don't know what's going on inside of that fucking world because like you said, that's
00:38:42.420
So it's another world that I'm not connected to that I don't really care about.
00:38:45.860
So unless she outright said, you know, Filipinos are the lowest rung of human on earth.
00:38:51.080
If she said some shit like that, then I go, damn, Ellen, what the fuck?
00:39:01.140
Well, I don't want to say who it is, but it's the, it's this mix is the Thainese, they
00:39:06.800
Everybody, I mean, I work with a Korean and I have never.
00:39:21.340
I work with a Korean every day, me and, me and Robert.
00:39:23.640
And I got to tell you, I was never, ever racist towards Koreans until I started working
00:39:28.860
You really start to see, you really start to see who you hate.
00:39:32.060
And that's why I still work with them because I want to just, you keep your enemies
00:39:41.200
No, I think this whole, everything can get pulled out of context.
00:39:44.120
Well, I'll tell you why I even say, why I even think this.
00:39:50.940
That she, I feel like she's, at this point, she's gone to the point where she's taking
00:40:02.240
I'm like, damn, she's taking some young fella's job.
00:40:06.280
Now, I'm not saying that's a right way for me to think or feel either, but that is a
00:40:10.580
The second one is, a friend of mine used to work security for her at her house.
00:40:27.440
Did your parents break your knees when you were young?
00:40:30.520
Or it's privilege because you rode horses or animals a lot.
00:40:32.840
If you rode a lot of animals, you can get bow-legged.
00:40:34.520
Well, if you rode a real small animal, then you're like-
00:40:38.500
But if you're privileged, you get to ride big animals, big more bow.
00:40:45.720
And so that's where a lot of my, you know, I guess my disdain comes from.
00:40:48.700
And I think I just have a general disdain sometimes for that culture.
00:40:51.740
Now, if she asked me to be on our show next weekend, I might have a different opinion.
00:41:02.500
Would you go out there dancing all the way down the aisle?
00:41:08.640
And that DJ, and the DJ is like, what's up, Theo?
00:41:34.900
I mean, you know, if anybody from my show, they would have Lil Dicky.
00:41:40.500
Even if I was the star of a show, Ellen wouldn't be where I would go to promote the show.
00:41:45.320
Because nothing I would make would be Ellen's audience.
00:41:48.020
Ellen's audience is moms, middle-aged women mostly, you know?
00:41:54.880
You know, like the content I put out, that's not what they like at all.
00:42:03.240
I think what we make is a little bit more specific than that.
00:42:06.920
They'd be like, oh, I don't like the language he used on this podcast I heard.
00:42:30.700
Sometimes you go on shows and they, like, dictate how you're supposed to be.
00:42:37.580
Well, I guess, you know, I'm just filling a gap for two minutes.
00:42:42.420
I just, I want to be on the show one day to talk to him.
00:42:46.440
Sometimes I feel like I keep myself out of my own goals with judgment.
00:43:08.040
And then just time-wise, I don't get to listen to it anymore because I'm not in my car listening to Sirius anymore.
00:43:14.980
Honestly, that in the sake of how we're comedians and we can joke around, like I did before.
00:43:19.620
I'm joking about not liking Koreans and one of my best friends is Korean.
00:43:23.420
We can throw that away and have a joke and then go back to something real.
00:43:26.140
He does that a lot, which I like, that he's able to just go, fuck it.
00:43:29.540
If you can't tell the difference in when I'm kidding and when I'm not, that's on you.
00:43:34.720
Yeah, he used to be a lot more like that, I feel like.
00:43:39.200
I think also he's getting older and it's getting harder.
00:43:51.420
Yeah, he's probably not the same person he was 20 years ago.
00:43:53.640
He's like a vegan who paints and does yoga every-
00:43:56.360
Like, he's completely changed, which is cool to watch his-
00:44:19.280
All the jokes that we do about wrestling, do you watch it?
00:44:22.120
Oh, the truth is, man, if I had to be real honest,
00:44:25.060
there was a guy in our, I don't want to say our neighborhood,
00:44:39.020
and I got the britches one time for, you know, Christmas or something.
00:44:45.680
they got me in one with the ballet surplus or whatever,
00:44:47.980
somewhere, and some fucking little Billy Elliotts out there.
00:45:00.200
But I'd go over there and watch them, you know,
00:45:01.820
and the guy had a ring set up in his own yard, you know,
00:45:04.100
and they'd throw him off the ropes and do the body slam, you know?
00:45:26.260
but before Doc Martens, you know, nurse Martens, you know?
00:45:33.700
And I'd go over there and watch him train the guy.
00:45:56.660
I don't have any wrestling in my blood, though.
00:46:05.420
I know, but there's something about wrestling characters.
00:46:13.880
I got in a fight with a guy at a costume party one time.
00:46:29.320
when I was a kid, I thought Hulk Hogan was cool,
00:46:37.460
I didn't like, I don't think I liked the boots and the pants.
00:46:41.940
I don't like, I didn't like tight pants on men and boots.
00:46:48.660
I guess I could do it if they were all wearing jeans.
00:46:50.500
And this guy, he's, his whole thing is like apathy.
00:46:57.300
I'm just, I'm just, yeah, apathetic, apathetic Andrew.
00:47:17.940
I like, I know, I know that it's all a big play.
00:47:25.720
Well, some things have gone on, have, have, have, have, have gone on too long.
00:47:30.840
But some things, which are institutions, have gone on too long.
00:47:43.940
You know, that was the most, that was one of the most popular sports in the world at one
00:47:49.280
One of the most, one of the most spectated sports in the world at one point in time.
00:47:56.620
You're talking, you know, but high lie, they try to make a comeback.
00:48:10.840
And the balls get thrown 170 miles an hour or something.
00:48:13.140
It's just, it's a wild, but it's a wild, cool sport to watch, but it'll never, it'll
00:48:22.280
I don't know what the appeal, I don't, I don't know why it lost this cool appeal of watching
00:48:27.860
When you listen to the echo of the ball off the wall too, it's daunting.
00:48:31.120
It's like that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that.
00:48:34.500
But look at how hard they fucking whip that thing.
00:48:53.980
Did you ever watch that when it was on TV when we were kids?
00:49:01.500
It, it, I love to watch someone get clipped or taken out.
00:49:05.940
I'll tell you one time I went to the USC stadium.
00:49:11.160
And it was Superbowl day and they had the women's tackle football going on down there.
00:49:20.480
I think they were doing like, I don't know, something during that day they were putting
00:49:24.980
And it's pretty lame to say, you know, I, I, I forego watching the Superbowl.
00:49:29.280
I guess it was two teams I didn't care about or something.
00:49:31.040
And I went down there to watch that women's tackle football game.
00:49:49.520
You should pull up that highlight reel of those girls.
00:49:52.780
And there's also, they're, they're, they're, they're able to get away with more.
00:49:59.180
There was a pigtail on the, on the, on the thing after it.
00:50:04.040
She's throwing, she's blatantly throwing her shoulder.
00:50:21.880
They'll shoot up right into the middle of the tit.
00:50:24.660
I think they're, I think, I think fighting is all legal too.
00:50:40.200
Because I actually ended up masturbating yesterday.
00:50:42.840
So, to get an erection the day after a masturbation.
00:50:47.700
I can't get an, I can't get a tank in that fast.
00:50:50.160
So, I didn't know this was going to do it for me.
00:50:55.400
Now, some of the ass cheeks get a little small the stronger the women get.
00:50:58.740
Well, yeah, you got a few, yeah, you can't hold out all that weight.
00:51:10.740
Get out on the field and beat the shit out of another girl.
00:51:28.640
Sometimes I don't even really want to have sex.
00:51:34.120
No, just get, as long as you get it in, it's like it's...
00:51:48.240
You got to sneak it in there and let it sit for a minute.
00:51:58.680
Well, because the thrusting is a lot of work, right?
00:52:05.900
It's an uphill, like Atlas, that guy who pushes that ball up that hill.
00:52:12.140
And no matter how close you get to the top, it's always coming.
00:52:19.160
I was like, why is this ball of a Thick Boy Bike Club shirt on?
00:52:31.880
He was like, oh, bro, I'm fucking 25 miles today up this hill.
00:52:41.640
The one thing that he is that inspires me is that he is a hard worker.
00:53:07.840
His Instagram has become like an autistic kid's Instagram.
00:53:33.360
The best is, the other day, he's like flags down.
00:53:38.540
He flags her down and let her know there's a snake there, and she doesn't give a fuck.
00:53:52.540
He's getting into those sit bikes, you know, with the big sides on them.
00:53:58.960
I'm talking about the ones where the older people, and it has like the little case on
00:54:12.800
He's going to ask me why we said this about him.
00:54:18.560
When he gets involved in something, it becomes obsessive.
00:54:23.240
Now it's like, it's not like where you say if you were like, yeah, man, I just got into
00:54:32.380
I'm sure you would like it and really get into it, but it wouldn't consume me.
00:54:36.120
Like when Brendan gets into something, it's like all consuming.
00:54:43.980
Or he'll buy the chef's hat and then he gets the spoon set.
00:54:47.080
And then he gets the knives and he wants to make the knives.
00:54:49.660
Then he gets the cheese grater and he does it all.
00:54:56.300
I like things, but then I can't get, if I get too involved, I know I'll go crazy.
00:55:04.580
If you've ever walked into a, to a scent establishment to get that smell, to get that upper on your body,
00:55:12.640
get that, you know, you want something that smells good across your body.
00:55:16.900
You know, it used to be the old days you would carry something with you that smelled good.
00:55:23.900
Something to get the other sex or the same sex, depending on what you love, to come over to you or to get anything to come over to you.
00:55:32.500
You wanted to have some kind of scent, something coming off of you.
00:55:35.120
Well, I want to tell you right now that Hawthorne is the company that cares about how you smell and the essence that you give off into the world.
00:55:47.160
You know, I'm still using the same cologne that I had when I was in high school.
00:55:50.380
You know, probably, I think it's called Ralph Lauren CK1 Online Polo Sport.
00:56:00.120
But Hawthorne now has a quiz that can help you find an updated scent that really caters to who you are.
00:56:12.880
So they ask you, you know, how do you smell usually?
00:56:23.800
You know, how moisture, how moisture do you like your skin?
00:56:33.720
It really gets to know you and then it hits you with those two examples of, hey, this is what you need to really show up and to show out and to smell good.

You know, if you want a new life and you want to attract new things, you need to go into it with a new body attitude.
00:57:47.700
What do you think about when you see these guys doing the drive-in shows and some of these new opportunities that are coming up for stand-up?
00:57:58.560
I know this sounds annoying, but I think stand-up isn't going to come back for a long time.
00:58:05.560
From a personal level, I've done so much searching inside about it.
00:58:10.000
I just don't think it's going to be the same when it does come back.
00:58:13.060
So I was talking to Schultz last night about this.
00:58:15.800
And I was like, man, you know, what we're making, this kind of stuff, this is our stand-up current future right now.
00:58:21.740
Because this is more fun than trying to do a digital show to me, you know, and perform to an audience that's not there.
00:58:29.980
But I don't have to wait for their response or know that they're engaged.
00:58:40.300
But like those live shows on Zoom and all that, I just don't know if it's for me.
00:58:48.560
But the drive-in shows, you know, Bert's doing.
00:58:55.240
We were trying to plan a tour with me and Bobby to go do that.
00:58:59.540
It was too hard to get to one city to the next.
00:59:02.020
And it costs a shitload of money to put those on outside.
00:59:07.500
It's not like going to a club that the building's already there with the lights and the sound.
00:59:12.640
And they're hoping that multiple people like us do it so they can keep the venue up.
00:59:21.000
You'd think you'd be able to go and set up a tent, you know.
00:59:31.420
Or you've got to grease the constable, you know, if you're going to a small town.
00:59:37.600
And then even still, they're going to want to be hit what they should have got from the union.
00:59:42.040
Either way, no matter how you shake it, I don't know if it's worth it for me right now.
00:59:47.220
If I was as big as Bert or Segura, yeah, maybe it's worth it for them to go get 500 cars in a parking lot.
00:59:56.060
Also, I feel weird inviting people to go out and not be able to touch them and interact with them and see them and be – you know, have that –
01:00:03.660
those moments in a room when you're with people, it's just irreplaceable.
01:00:08.120
Yeah, because I'm sure – you know, I got invited the other day to do a show where the televisions are in front of you.
01:00:16.000
Yeah, great guy, puts on a lot of awesome shows, and apparently there's like 20 screens in front of you where you can see the audience actually, see them right there in front of you.
01:00:27.420
I said it looked really cool, but I'm also – I also know my habits as a performer, and I don't know if that would cater to my habits.
01:00:35.480
I really enjoy feeding off the live energy of people.
01:00:38.780
I'm significantly better in pressure situations where it's live and big.
01:00:45.100
Than I am in those where there's almost no pressure because it's digital, there's a lot of growing room, and, you know, it's almost like there's almost no pressure, which I don't really like.
01:00:53.960
Like, I think the pressure of live is why I like it so much.
01:00:59.420
And when you do, it's like, it works, you know, whereas there, there's a disconnect, and it's okay if it doesn't work great because both people know that this is a weird medium of comedy.
01:01:12.340
It's almost caters – it almost seems like it caters to the – that the reward isn't actually being could.
01:01:25.880
The reward is their kindness because then people might act like they're laughing or laugh out of, like, ha-ha, you know.
01:01:34.820
But, yeah, just because that's how they're supposed to look like they're behaving because you're not going to be able to hear their audio.
01:01:42.760
So then it's going to become this world where you're performing for virtually for people.
01:01:46.080
Everybody's pretending that they're having a good time because they paid to be there, and it's just going to be –
01:01:52.540
I'm just – I think it's – I think it's – I think it's good for people that are doing it and that it's working for them because there are people.
01:01:59.920
I just wonder if the reward – if it's creating a reward system that is different than the original being on stage and getting, you know, and feeling that moment between you and them and forcing a laugh out.
01:02:13.000
You know, like, some people laugh because they have – it's not – they're laughing because they want to.
01:02:21.960
Whereas if it just looks like I'm supposed to be doing a certain thing, then I might just do that thing.
01:02:27.380
Well, because, you know, it's how people – they always talk about how people react when they know a camera's watching them.
01:02:31.140
So, you know, like someone in the streets, you know they're going to react different if they have a camera on them.
01:02:36.160
Their eyes, their movements, everything becomes hyper-aware that they're on camera.
01:02:41.240
So, when they're on camera watching you, they know you see them now versus in the room, you don't see audience members.
01:02:50.360
And if they don't like the joke, they'll sit there and smile politely.
01:02:52.900
You know, if they're not a fan of the joke, they're like, no, you know, that's okay.
01:02:55.400
And those guys, you can tell usually I bet they hit their girlfriends.
01:03:01.600
You kind of look at the girl and just – I always look at her and let her know.
01:03:09.900
You should have a help code when you start the show.
01:03:12.140
Ladies, if you're here with your man and he's abusive and he doesn't want to be here, you know, we should have a help code.
01:03:18.660
I'll take a salmon, then I know you're ready to go.
01:03:22.280
Yeah, there's always a guy or two at the show that's not enjoying the show because he's mad that you're doing the thing that he doesn't do.
01:03:30.340
Because he hates his job or whatever, and he's annoyed that his friends like you.
01:03:33.160
And he's like, I'm not really a fan, but I came with them, but they love you, but whatever.
01:03:39.180
Yeah, you're not – stand-up, I don't think, is going to come back for, I don't know, summer next year.
01:03:45.580
I think the vaccine has to be the thing to give people the – I think to give people the comfort level.
01:03:51.960
I start to – do you start to feel – I started to feel this this week.
01:03:55.020
Like every Monday, I start to feel like, wow, okay.
01:03:57.980
We get a little further from the existence that we knew before this disease.
01:04:05.200
Sundays usually make my old lady depressed because work on Monday is like a whole thing for her.
01:04:12.160
It's like, oh, shit, I have a big week ahead of me.
01:04:14.960
And I never got it because our weeks bled together, right?
01:04:18.500
We don't really know what – you know, it's like I've got shows every night of the week or we're on the road.
01:04:22.120
So Monday and Sunday weren't significant days, but they are now because Sunday, to me, is this end of a week for me.
01:04:28.980
And Monday is like how many more of these weeks are going to happen without us having the ability to go do whatever I need to do.
01:04:39.860
I feel like I've been forced to retire from stand-up.
01:04:42.220
You know, it's kind of like if you meet someone that retires too early, they usually get depressed.
01:04:49.740
It kills me, you know, it kills me not to go to the club and work out new shitty jokes.
01:04:53.900
But now what are things – yeah, yeah, I feel you.
01:04:56.160
I start to feel like, okay, the interesting thing is each time I started to – I just finally started to notice.
01:05:01.120
I was like, oh, man, I'm starting to think like we're getting further away from the life that we knew to the point where it's interesting how this new one becomes the norm.
01:05:13.880
Because a lot of me still thinks, oh, this is just such a temporary thing.
01:05:18.600
But do you start – do you feel that too a little bit where you're like –
01:05:22.200
Whatever was before starts to slip away and this slowly becomes –
01:05:25.720
About a month ago, I've therapeutically admitted to myself and people around me, friends and family, that I'm like the new norm is going to be – we're never going to go back to what it was.
01:05:39.220
I think we will inherently – time will change us for the better.
01:05:45.380
I don't – I think jumping back into what we thought was normal will never happen ever again.
01:05:54.220
That will also be – but we will function significantly differently.
01:05:57.240
I mean you look at anything like – any kind of societal turn, right?
01:06:02.880
Whether it's, you know, the internet and the takeover of what the internet did.
01:06:08.980
Well, but anything that's just a big change in our society inherently changed us forever.
01:06:19.880
The Industrial Revolution created fucking an entire new society for us.
01:06:24.020
Did it create other problems and put other things out of business?
01:06:28.620
Oh, the power drill fucking changed the whole world, dude.
01:06:44.420
Yeah, I think we're going to function at a higher level in a different way.
01:06:49.700
We just have to find new ways to do it, which is why I applaud the people doing the fucking –
01:06:53.780
doing those shows online because it's – you got to try.
01:06:59.100
Yeah, I think the reason why I haven't gotten into the shows online is because I'm like,
01:07:03.640
are there enough of these yet where I can go and do two and three in a night?
01:07:08.240
So that I can actually cultivate the material and ruminate it as opposed to just going and
01:07:16.100
Are you going to dump all the old stuff that you were doing before or no?
01:07:19.500
Well, I have a special with Netflix set up, so hopefully I'll dump it into there.
01:07:27.860
But at a certain point, they'll just be like, they're going to need material.
01:07:30.560
They're just going to be like, look, shoot it at a –
01:07:40.000
I just think – but I think they need to – but I think this is a good opportunity for Netflix
01:07:44.000
to film or let people film at very unique and different places instead of a traditional
01:07:50.220
Instead of a – like, let's do it at a different kind of venue, right?
01:07:53.880
But then I think you see outdoors ones are just risky.
01:07:59.960
Well, bring up that boat thing that Nick – what's his name had in here?
01:08:44.880
Dude, here's the crazy thing that rich people do too.
01:08:46.960
Oh, let's go to this graveyard and watch a movie.
01:08:55.040
Have you ever been there to Hollywood Forever Cemetery?
01:09:00.420
All these rich people having a little cheese on top of fucking, you know, Henry Ford or something.
01:09:14.780
You mean something for this long and then you're Ellen and then they kill you.
01:09:18.940
And then you go sit on Ellen's grave and you watch, you know.
01:09:24.020
It's like they built – now it's become such a system.
01:09:35.560
Yeah, they have to take down someone that's at the top because it feels – you raise someone up because you're impressed.
01:09:42.920
And then when you have societally raised them up, then you get tired of their success because inherently they have more than you.
01:09:54.160
So they have to kind of peel you down a little bit.
01:09:56.540
And it almost – and we all need to be – it's like we're all imperfect in the end.
01:10:01.540
So it's like we have – the truth is that there is a – there's a – it's all a down.
01:10:08.700
Life – I mean death is the – you know, death is a down.
01:10:17.460
The story ends with us in a field with someone younger eating cheese on top of us watching a movie.
01:10:24.700
That's okay as long as you enjoyed it when you're above the ground.
01:10:28.460
I feel like I'm cool with however the story goes as long as I am putting forth effort to make it go somewhere.
01:10:38.160
Because it's never going to be – you're never going to have a, oh, the whole time, you know.
01:10:44.280
What is your industry going to be like in the acting world?
01:10:46.880
Because I know you guys' show Dave got picked up for season two.
01:10:49.080
Yeah, we're supposed to – we're supposed to already have been shooting it.
01:10:51.360
It should be almost done by now, I think, shooting.
01:10:54.300
Yeah, we'll probably not do it until – I mean they keep saying November, but I don't think so.
01:11:04.920
I mean it's FX, but it's Hulu because they're one now.
01:11:08.160
And so we're digital, which is I think where TV lives anyway.
01:11:19.880
Who had the idea in Dave for you guys to have a bath scene and you wash his back?
01:11:29.100
There's a scene in the Dave show where I get in the tub with him and we're naked and I wash his back.
01:11:37.960
That was a moment of Dave and I kind of having a bonding and they put it on the show.
01:11:43.900
They kind of went above and beyond artistic integrity there because we said we're kind of working the characters.
01:11:50.120
We're trying to figure out what we need from each other in the scene.
01:11:56.120
I said I'm going to take a bath in this house that we were shooting in.
01:12:01.060
I said we'll share a bath, but I want a closed set.
01:12:05.740
It's a little disturbing, but that's what the business does.
01:12:09.680
Nothing like putting two men together and getting them naked.
01:12:16.800
You know, and they filmed it and it was my choice.
01:12:19.100
And I don't enjoy that they filmed it and put it out there.
01:12:21.980
Dude, I'll tell you a story that happened to me.
01:12:24.700
When I first got into town, some man set me up with a guy who was an agent, right?
01:12:32.100
He's like, I'll take you to this party or something.
01:12:37.840
Yeah, then the guy's going to give me a ride, drop me back off at my place.
01:12:41.460
And I remember the guy saying, if you grab my dick while I drive, my car will go faster.
01:12:51.900
But we'd been doing a little bit of coke, you know?
01:12:53.980
And I remember thinking – first, I was like, that's insane.
01:12:57.220
I don't – you know, that sounds – you know, that sounds fake.
01:13:01.200
Yeah, I don't know if there's a correlation between his penis and the penis.
01:13:03.560
I didn't even realize that the guy was trying to be perverted or homoerotic or anything.
01:13:17.580
And then I remember just having to stand up for myself, you know?
01:13:21.820
I still had a picture of my girlfriend in my wallet.
01:13:33.860
It's that kind of town where they want you to be in a bathtub with a man.
01:13:39.280
And when you do want to do it on your own volition and not have it filmed, they end up putting it on a television show.
01:13:44.260
I got proposed to by a proposition by a guy who was trying to be my manager.
01:13:49.760
Yeah, he said, I'll only take 8%, but you have to make up the 2% in other ways.
01:13:55.080
He said, I want to kissy-kiss every time you drop off money from a job.
01:13:59.720
And I just was appalled by the idea to kiss him, dropping off a check, my money to him, and kissing him.
01:14:06.540
But – so after two or three years, I had to drop him.
01:14:12.140
Well, yeah, because that's one on the cheek and one on the lips.
01:14:19.880
That's like when your grandma was like in her last year of life, she fucking sneaks one in on you.
01:14:40.920
I wanted to bring up Andrew, clap back when you had Tom on your Instagram.
01:14:47.340
I was commenting from the King and the Sting Instagram.
01:14:51.500
I said the show should just be called Bad, which I was pretty proud of, actually.
01:15:04.700
But then he clapped back, and he said, well, your show should be called Yeah, Man and COVID
01:15:16.740
I got a lot of hate for this, by the way, from Bobby.
01:15:23.780
Yeah, Tom came on Whiskey Ginger, and we went to the Bad Friends studio, and this was Tom's idea
01:15:52.300
He's like something you get at the airport, and it's like nice, but you're like, how do I
01:16:06.240
Yeah, I had to do a little clap back under the King and the Sting.
01:16:17.960
And Cheeto Santino is where you can follow Andrew.
01:16:27.600
I can't remember which one you said something on.
01:16:31.780
Or if not, it's that one in the middle, maybe, right?
01:16:35.820
If I scroll down on Instagram through his page, it'll probably just, you'll be the top.
01:16:44.700
That's me, Rogan, and Kreischer holding Dylan on our laps.
01:16:50.120
Like, that is a picture that genuinely makes me go, God damn, I miss hanging out with friends
01:16:56.380
I mean, that's the kind of stuff that genuinely, when I scroll past sometimes, it just makes me
01:17:02.720
I go, fuck, I miss hanging out and saying hi to people.
01:17:04.720
I think we didn't know how good, I think everybody, and this includes everybody for their
01:17:09.680
own walk of life, everybody didn't know how good we had it.
01:17:17.020
We're allowed to do whatever we want all the time.
01:17:19.340
And then when this happens here, it just goes to show you how restrictive life can be when
01:17:25.740
Oh, we're almost, yeah, I feel like we're damn, you know.
01:17:30.480
It couldn't have been that further away, because we just, I remember it just happened.
01:17:44.620
Oh, I'm glad Bobby found somebody to do this show with him.
01:17:58.740
I'm telling you, I bet you it was the exact same picture with Tom.
01:18:01.940
And you said, I got, I think, Theo, I think you said, I got asked to do this show.
01:18:07.300
And I said, you already do a show with a handicapped guy.
01:18:25.840
No, he's not because he knows how much we love him.
01:18:31.220
What did, what did, uh, go back up in that scroll that, what did, uh, let me, let me ask
01:18:36.400
What did, oh, I thought that was somebody else.
01:18:49.700
Mistake, Rick and his alcoholic burn victim friend.
01:18:58.560
And that is Theo's line, alcoholic burn victim.
01:19:09.900
Do you think, who do you think is going to win this election, do you think?
01:19:22.400
And I'm not saying, I'm not putting you on a political side or anything.
01:19:29.860
I used to think Trump was going to win for sure.
01:19:31.340
I thought in my mind, I was like, there's just no way, because he was so polarizing and
01:19:42.320
I think in lieu of what's going on, I don't think so.
01:19:57.500
I don't think he will anymore due to the fact that.
01:20:00.420
Well, he bombed during the Black Lives Matter thing.
01:20:04.100
Between BLM and the pandemic, I think are a perfect storm for him to cause him to lose.
01:20:11.080
I think that's what I'll, I think those two things will make it go.
01:20:19.440
I laid, a couple of years ago, I laid money on Trump.
01:20:33.320
It was before he had won the, the, the, the, the Republican, the Republican nominee.
01:20:43.300
Like, what are the odds right now for Biden and him?
01:21:00.000
Why would they throw in Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama?
01:21:03.520
If Biden can't make, physically cannot do it, the electoral college gets to pick.
01:21:14.820
There's a group that gets to then put somebody in his place.
01:21:20.920
The DNC then gets to put somebody in his stead.
01:21:22.860
That's why a lot of people still think, and I've thought this the whole time, that Hillary
01:21:27.060
Clinton is going to slip in at the last minute and replace him, or somebody is.
01:21:31.440
But Michelle Obama has never even talked about being a, she's just, I don't know.
01:21:39.840
They got, they got seven Emmy nominations from their, look, the Obamas have parlayed their
01:21:49.820
If you're going to get out of being a president, you can't just play golf and sew because they're
01:21:55.600
They did the thing that you would do if you were that young.
01:21:58.880
You'd go, well, let's get a media deal with Netflix for a hundred million dollars.
01:22:02.740
Make shit, employ people and keep making money.
01:22:08.760
What do you think the effects of the pandemic will have on how people vote?
01:22:14.720
That's what I start to wonder because I start to wonder if a lot of people think that we're going
01:22:22.900
I start to wonder if a lot of people think that the president is the one who got us into
01:22:29.000
Then people are going to vote against or are going to vote democratic because of that.
01:22:33.700
You know, it just starts to make me wonder how like this, this thing that we're in right now
01:22:41.240
Cause I don't even know if people are voting for one person anymore that much.
01:22:45.580
I mean, I feel like as much as they're voting against the, how they want the world to be
01:22:53.040
I think people used to vote for their party, right?
01:22:55.520
I think a lot of times people voted for their party.
01:22:57.280
I think now people are voting because they diverse now.
01:23:03.400
Oh, I don't really love the guy, but I'm a Republican.
01:23:06.740
Now I think people go, I fucking hate, uh, Joe Biden or I hate Hillary or whoever.
01:23:13.220
So I'm, Oh, I'm for sure going to vote for this guy, regardless of the party.
01:23:17.720
They just get so, they get so annoyed with, with the other party that they're like, I'll
01:23:22.900
do anything to get rid to not to make sure they don't get in, you know, which in essence
01:23:27.240
is the same, but I think it's more personal now.
01:23:29.020
People, people really, who hate Trump, hate Trump.
01:23:31.820
People who hate Biden and Hillary and, and, and Bernie, same way.
01:23:36.200
They hate, they had the same kind of hate on both sides.
01:23:38.080
So, but people have gotten so dive, people are more, there's, we just have to get away
01:23:43.100
from this two party system is the most flawed thing on earth.
01:23:45.980
And hopefully that's what I think is that whatever's going on over the past eight years,
01:23:50.920
four years, and in the future is that's where it's leading us.
01:23:54.400
Well, you should be able to pick, you should be able to pick from, you know, what you,
01:23:57.780
you have to have an odd number, isn't it, wouldn't that be the, isn't that the case per,
01:24:00.600
so you'd have to have like three per side or something like that.
01:24:03.360
So yeah, if it was three candidates from Republican party, three candidates from the Democratic
01:24:06.800
party, that's who you would want to put up a fight because then you'd get an extreme
01:24:11.580
from the Republican, a, a middle from the Republican, and then a more, almost left-leaning Republican
01:24:17.720
or, or someone like, you know, um, Pete Buttigieg, you know who the, you know, Buttigieg is almost
01:24:25.480
I don't even, he's somewhere in the middle, you know, he's a gay vet who loves guns, but
01:24:29.920
also is, is pro-gay marriage, but also is very conservative in his financial approach
01:24:36.680
So you're like, this guy's kind of all over the place, but you need that option to be
01:24:48.680
I wish we elected the president and the vice president.
01:24:51.840
I always thought that Bernie and Trump would have been a good ticket.
01:24:55.660
Like, why does he get to bring his friend to the party that we didn't approve?
01:25:01.860
Because then you could really check the, say if somebody got president, then you could
01:25:06.100
check them by having a, uh, a vice president that had different views and like totally
01:25:12.840
incorporated more of your, you know, more of your views.
01:25:15.920
So then it would always be like, they're always going to have somebody that they're going
01:25:21.920
No, I think, I think people are going to, this is going to change a lot as far, but also
01:25:25.220
I think, I think we need to get back to a place where we step back after all this chaos
01:25:32.580
and we start to understand that like agenda isn't the way to get messages across.
01:25:36.840
We need to have conversations because people are just hearing stuff and then they get mad.
01:25:40.680
Like I got mad the other night, not mad, but I just got, I was like, this is fucked up.
01:25:46.180
Procter and Gamble is a major fucking corporation.
01:25:48.880
And it's a commercial where it's a young, it's a young black dad with his son and they
01:25:54.440
There's a little girl waving out of a Mercedes, a little white girl, and the mom rolls up
01:25:58.500
the window when she sees that she's waving at a black kid.
01:26:00.900
And then he puts his son in the pool and a, and a white dad gets his son out of the pool
01:26:06.660
And then the very end of the commercial, you see that he's actually, they were in a courtroom
01:26:10.120
and then you pan around and he's a judge, the, the, the, the, the dad, the black dad.
01:26:14.440
And it's this thing that's like, it's a conversation we need to have about, um, racial inequality
01:26:20.320
and judgment and silent racist, uh, intentions and yada, yada, yada.
01:26:26.000
While I know what they're saying, I know what they're trying to communicate.
01:26:32.560
This is the commercial because all this does to me is you can play it and play it in the
01:26:37.200
Cause I don't think there's any, it's just music.
01:26:38.480
There is no, uh, there's no dialogue, but you know, they show him and his son having a good
01:26:43.320
day and then it's waving at a white girl and a Benz and the mom is like, no way you
01:26:50.720
This is, this is now they're airing the shit right now.
01:26:53.340
And look, don't hold the elevator for the black guy says the three whites in the elevator.
01:27:00.200
I just saw this last night when I was watching baseball.
01:27:05.760
But look, what would you like to sit at that table next to the black guy?
01:27:12.000
I don't want to get in the pool because the black guy's in there with his son.
01:27:23.100
The message is extremely obvious of what Procter and Gamble is saying.
01:27:26.160
I just want to see what the script is at the end.
01:27:34.900
They turn the cameras around and obviously we see he's a judge.
01:27:45.840
But it turns out he didn't even go to school to be a judge.
01:27:51.420
Talk about the look so we can talk about the look so we can see beyond it.
01:27:55.500
Here's what I here's what I want to say about this.
01:27:56.800
And then I don't want to ramble on to more about it.
01:27:58.300
But it made me mad last night because I know what they're saying.
01:28:03.480
Do do many black people in America or the major maybe all maybe a high majority feel
01:28:09.160
that they get that they get things like this that things like this happen to them?
01:28:15.540
But this message, though, is almost like saying all white people do this stuff.
01:28:23.040
All of you do this, which is so fucking wrong and not true that this should say there's
01:28:29.820
a very small percentage of white people who publicly have no shame in being racist.
01:28:34.580
And they're fucking assholes and fuck them forever.
01:28:38.200
But but the conversation that should it should say, let's talk about how people are blatantly
01:28:43.040
racist and why it's wrong versus this shows different factions of white people at different
01:28:51.880
And it's almost saying this is what you do without knowing it.
01:28:57.320
No, the fuck I don't put that saying like it's a this.
01:29:00.260
I believe in my heart that most the high majority of whites in this country aren't inherently
01:29:15.180
There are probably a portion of people that see a black guy in a pool and don't swim in
01:29:24.300
But this message is like saying most, if not all white people are racist towards black
01:29:30.660
I just don't think that's true because it is perpetuating a narrative that is that is
01:29:40.040
It's ignorant to have this be the narrative almost.
01:29:43.480
It's fucked up because that's not how I fucking feel.
01:29:49.800
And so a lot of this comes from, I think, the people who make these commercials now and
01:29:55.020
who are in the driver's seat of a lot of the advertising and all that.
01:30:00.680
It's the same repeat people over and over again who have never lived in different communities.
01:30:05.300
And so they think that this is what it's like everywhere because that's what they see
01:30:10.540
You said exactly what I said on this last podcast I did with Fitzsimmons.
01:30:15.220
My biggest beef with a lot of white people yelling the loudest is they don't interact
01:30:24.560
They have no friends of any other race besides whites.
01:30:27.440
So then they go, this is what I think other whites do.
01:30:31.540
Well, you don't live in the world, especially Procter and fucking gamble, a massive corporation.
01:30:40.680
And what I would rather see, what I think it would be more helpful would be to show a
01:30:45.500
commercial that shows people of all ethnicities treating a different ethnicity a certain way.
01:30:52.340
Because I think there's, I believe that there's way more bigotry in the country than there
01:30:57.320
is actual inherent or, you know, like that systemic racism people talk about.
01:31:03.440
I think there's way more bigotry that goes all types of ways.
01:31:10.660
It's not just a street of, of one way street of white people being racist to black people.
01:31:15.040
And people are so, white people who have been doing their best their entire lives to not
01:31:21.080
be racist and to be supportive of black community, to be supportive of black artists.
01:31:26.500
My, my favorite comedians are black and have been my whole life.
01:31:33.140
And they're the most popular, the most popular musicians.
01:31:35.540
Like, I feel like there's a lot of like support of black culture.
01:31:39.700
I see that a lot more than I see stuff like this anymore.
01:31:47.800
And you're making the rest of us who aren't that way.
01:31:50.980
You're making us angry, not at black people, but you're making us angry at this repeated
01:31:55.700
beating us over the head with a narrative that doesn't apply to us that you keep putting
01:32:01.320
And I think you're going to have a lot of people that are going to vote in, uh, in the
01:32:09.060
And I don't know what that vote looks like for them, but I think a lot of people don't
01:32:13.040
care who the candidates are, but if they can find a way to vote against shit like this,
01:32:18.960
They're beating you in the head with a narrative that doesn't apply to you.
01:32:22.020
And so it infuriates people like me to go, you're saying that you're, it's like you're
01:32:27.020
saying, I need to have this conversation about racists.
01:32:34.960
The conversation needs to have, look how many people in our communities, at least the ones
01:32:39.400
that I live in or my friendship circle, people that I'm a part of that are supportive of
01:32:43.060
other cultures and races and we get along and we enjoy one another's company.
01:32:46.560
If you put that image out more, don't you think that does better?
01:32:49.720
Don't you think it does better to show us interacting with other cultures and races
01:32:56.420
No, I have enough black friends that have told me they get treated differently in different
01:33:02.020
I, they have to my face been like, no, when I walk into this kind of place, I get treated
01:33:08.660
But this is once again, that is a small amount of people who are outwardly racist and do
01:33:17.880
I'm not talking about when you, when you, when someone says they see a black guy in a
01:33:22.480
nice car and they go, well, he must be a rapper or an athlete, you know, in their mind, they
01:33:29.880
I'm talking about, this is blatant, obvious, get my kid out of the pool.
01:33:35.280
Well, this, I just don't believe that this is rampant.
01:33:38.560
I just, and maybe it is in certain parts of the world, but our country, but I got to
01:33:50.100
We stopped in a place where if you showed pictures of the place to anybody in, uh, in
01:33:57.140
one of the coastal cities, they'd be like, Oh man, you know, I bet there's, you know,
01:34:04.540
We went out and stopped and went swimming in the side of this lake.
01:34:09.100
They had three black kids there or two black children that seemed full black, fully African
01:34:15.420
And then one black kid that seemed black and white.
01:34:18.720
And they were part of the, they had a black and white couple and then they had a, one
01:34:24.240
of the kids had been adopted and it was like they, nobody there was doing, there was
01:34:31.500
Like that's so much more of what I've seen in my life.
01:34:36.100
Um, I see more of that than I see the other side.
01:34:39.420
When somebody goes, you're a California liberal, you don't fucking know.
01:34:43.420
I lived on planes for 10 years going to every part of this country, seeing all different
01:34:47.940
And yeah, there are people that are, that have hate in their heart.
01:34:51.120
They exist, but you can't help that as much as you can't help anything else.
01:34:55.460
It's like, that's going to, ignorance will exist.
01:34:57.800
But I think the message we need to show people is people getting along with other people.
01:35:04.980
Show people interacting with people of other race.
01:35:07.200
Procter and Gamble put out a commercial about how we're doing our best to be one, to
01:35:12.120
be a race of humans instead of this fucking great divide, you know, instead of, you
01:35:21.880
No, they've made it, they've made it more of a thing.
01:35:26.740
Well, look at, we'll look at what they did in Portland.
01:35:28.320
You know, this is, it's a fucking war in Portland and, you know, look up the fucking
01:35:33.400
You know, it's like, but it's also like these storming the streets for, for, for Black
01:35:40.600
I understand why people are protesting, but you look up Portland, Oregon on fucking Wikipedia
01:35:47.220
and you're like the inherent fucking racist past of Portland, Oregon.
01:35:52.320
You want to talk about, go Google it of railroad workers that were black, that were basically
01:35:56.880
socially enslaved in this fucking city for years.
01:36:00.120
And it's, and it's one of the highest percentages of all white communities in the United States.
01:36:05.120
There's all these fucking loud, angry white people with no black friends, with no black
01:36:09.300
communities near them, but they're mad at things they have no connection to.
01:36:12.740
And you're like, how real can it be when you've never lived with any other race?
01:36:21.980
You don't fucking live among, it's like 79% fucking white or something insane.
01:36:27.460
I just like, you're the most segregated fucking city in the United States.
01:36:38.900
I just, I just, I get frustrated because I'm like.
01:36:45.760
Because that's what we're actually doing in real life.
01:36:50.240
Bro, you watch sport, like we are, in reality, we are coming together.
01:36:54.360
You look at younger generation, all their friend groups.
01:36:57.080
I feel like a lot of their friend groups are really mixed.
01:37:00.820
But why isn't that on Procter and fucking Gamble?
01:37:04.260
It's like, we need to push that narrative more for us to be like, yo, we're trying to
01:37:14.740
And I, there are moments in the week where I choose to want to get angry.
01:37:18.560
And so I go to find those things to make me that way.
01:37:22.360
I think, and we're trying, and we can do better.
01:37:30.580
If I want to be racist, I'll be racist against Dan Brendan.
01:37:32.840
He's fucking half British, I found out yesterday.
01:37:37.440
I mean, you can trust them, but it's documented that it's risky.
01:37:58.840
Putting a thicky thick up on the roof, dude, with a damn feather deal.
01:38:24.140
Yeah, they've got to have something that's close to it.
01:38:36.360
And I'll make you an old-fashioned or something.
01:38:43.120
And we won't yell about what's going on in the news as much.
01:38:47.840
Well, it's just last night rubbed me the wrong way.
01:38:56.980
I was mad for a little bit, and then I was like, that's fine.
01:39:05.440
They just show you that they're like, no, it's fucking, we're going to be okay.
01:39:08.620
We just keep functioning the way that we function.
01:39:10.520
You don't need to worry about other people's bullshit.
01:39:26.700
Yeah, try your, yeah, just try to be a part of something that's a little different, you
01:39:34.580
Dude, like I grew up, yeah, we didn't, they didn't have any wealthy black people when I
01:39:39.820
So then I would get older, and when I would see a black guy in a nice car, I would think,
01:39:44.180
oh, is that guy, at a, for a certain age, I would think, oh, that guy must be an art,
01:39:51.940
It was the only thing, it was the only way black people could get ahead.
01:39:56.280
But now, in places you see a black guy, it's not, you don't think the same thing.
01:40:01.280
No, well, if you live in an area that has thriving culture, yeah, yeah, it helps to live in a
01:40:05.360
place where you go, a major metropolitan area, when you see people have millions of different
01:40:09.820
careers, and there's not just one way to get out of a, either impoverished or lower socioeconomic
01:40:18.520
The more you fucking travel, the more you meet more people, and I don't mean travel to,
01:40:22.300
like, I'm vacationing in France, I mean, go two states over.
01:40:25.680
Go see how other people live in different places, you automatically learn inherently that
01:40:29.800
your view of culture is not the, it's your little telescope is all you see in your hometown.
01:40:34.960
When you leave that, and you go to other places, you go, fuck, they don't function like
01:40:40.540
And that's one thing that's great, I think, about the whole Black Lives Matter movement
01:40:43.080
is it does, it has made me examine how do I look at other races and cultures, like,
01:40:51.240
just to make sure, like, check in and be like, do you have a different, do you have, like,
01:40:58.660
Like, just from your own stereotypes over the years, or your own experiences.
01:41:02.940
Do you have preconceived notions about anybody?
01:41:06.060
I notice a little bit where I'm like, I'm a little bit more pensive sometimes when I
01:41:10.600
I have a fear just from my own experiences growing up.
01:41:14.800
But I don't think that's racist as much as that is just your, your, your childhood.
01:41:20.140
But also it's good, like, some of this movement has made me stop and look and say, hey, man,
01:41:26.020
you can do, you can try to be, to not carry those sometimes.
01:41:31.220
You can try to, because people can feel that energy.
01:41:33.880
And I don't have, I mean, I have black friends.
01:41:35.580
You know, I have, like, I don't always have it, but there's moments where it's like,
01:41:40.120
hey, man, you know, recognize that you're just kind of having maybe a little bit of
01:41:43.820
that flare up or a little bit of stereotype and see if you could just not, you know, try
01:42:00.300
Because you know that any flaw you have doesn't come from hate.
01:42:04.380
That's why I'm asking people to let people grow.
01:42:08.140
I'm sure it comes from ignorance or misinformation or a lack of interaction.
01:42:29.300
By the way, I'm excited to see what it, can we get some zero proof Coke, Nick?
01:42:33.160
Dude, we can get some B12, actually, and do that powder.
01:42:39.280
Dude, I did some, I did some, a pilot like a year and a half ago, and they had it, and
01:42:43.220
it was like these two, like, 15-year-old girls doing it at this pool, and I went over
01:42:50.960
I've been, yeah, pissed like a fucking straight up wizard, dude.
01:42:55.540
The B12 does, it does kind of give you a little tickle, though.
01:43:05.000
It's only a couple seconds, but then it goes away.
01:43:14.580
Check Andrew out on Bad Friends and Whiskey Ginger.
01:43:19.300
Now, I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:43:30.460
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:43:40.260
But it's going to take a little time for me to set that parking brake.
01:44:31.980
They weren't so thin that they're damn near gone
01:44:54.600
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head
01:45:37.660
