00:03:56.200
I'm grateful to be able to spend some time with him.
00:04:22.200
I don't know if any, like, people say stop drinking water past, like, 7 p.m. or some shit.
00:04:36.020
Like, people are like, yo, you need to drink more water and shit.
00:04:38.020
Like, they always complain, but I don't have that issue, honestly.
00:05:00.980
I'm usually kind of in the urban section of the, or whatever, you know?
00:05:06.940
I wouldn't say that, but I would say, like, yeah, if they had, like, a Memphis area of the pool,
00:05:11.860
I think that's kind of where I'm usually hanging out at, you know?
00:05:15.180
When I get into the deep end, it is like, I mean, I, I'm swimming with every, my legs
00:05:21.080
I'm using every, it's almost like I'm trying to stay out of the water.
00:05:24.840
So, um, Kyle Forgard, thanks for being here, man.
00:05:30.200
So, um, I just wanted to start some of my audience are, and some people in the world,
00:05:39.480
Um, I guess there's, there's different layers to Nelk.
00:05:42.340
I guess with like the content side, Nelk is like, you know, it's a group of guys basically
00:05:47.880
I guess people say that we're this generation's jackass, which is like a huge compliment I'd
00:05:52.800
But I mean, I think they do more like crazier stunts, like shit we could never do.
00:05:58.160
And we're more like kind of pranks and partying and just honestly, just like vlogging our life
00:06:03.400
But, and yeah, we have a big YouTube channel that has like almost 8 million subscribers
00:06:11.520
We're just uploading funny shit on Instagram, YouTube.
00:06:13.960
And then, yeah, the kind of, I think what separates us is like, we never really made a
00:06:18.880
lot of money off YouTube because we were quote unquote R rated.
00:06:24.200
So, you know, everyone complains now like, oh, I don't make money off YouTube.
00:06:29.380
Like we've been dealing with that for like our whole career.
00:06:33.720
So, but it was kind of a blessing in disguise because we had to get smart and kind of build
00:06:38.640
businesses around our content in order to like, you know, fund our operation.
00:06:43.340
So I think the fact that we weren't making money, like our fans really, no one understood
00:06:49.040
Like, why can't they just find ads that are like 18 plus or some shit, but there was
00:06:54.920
So we kind of just started our own businesses like merch and yeah, I think people really
00:07:03.660
Cause like the send it full send, all of that, that became a lot of y'alls.
00:07:09.960
That's like something that I don't know if we invented it, but we kind of like coined
00:07:14.160
And we started saying it in videos and then it kind of became something bigger than us.
00:07:18.760
Oh, I was at a funeral one time and the kid was, yeah, it was like a, like a 22 year old
00:07:35.140
I was at a funeral one time, um, and they, uh, the DJ or whatever had like a stroke or
00:07:42.980
And he like, when he hit the machine, it played like a Nelly song in the fucking, uh, in the,
00:07:48.480
uh, service, you know, uh, it was that song like apple bottom gene.
00:07:56.760
So everybody's just sitting there and people's crying and stuff and fucking Randall's dead,
00:08:01.380
And then suddenly you just hear a fucking, and people are like, what's going on?
00:08:05.460
And people are like yelling or like kind of pointing over that area.
00:08:08.160
And the guy in there, I mean, it's sad, but he'd had a stroke, you know?
00:08:13.100
Cause he was just, you know, running the, I guess they had an electric organ or whatever,
00:08:18.360
God sometimes like has like funny stuff he does.
00:08:23.580
I just, because I think there's a lot of audience that doesn't know, you know?
00:08:26.360
So I just want my audience to, sometimes I don't do the best job of like getting to know
00:08:31.120
who the guest is and where they're at, you know?
00:08:33.860
Um, yeah, it started, I mean, I've just been making videos ever since I was young, like
00:08:38.080
grade five, grade six, just like fucking around with the camera, making like funny shit.
00:08:43.120
And then like little, even like short films and then, um, just uploading them on Facebook
00:08:49.640
I probably honestly, if we found the Facebook ones, I think I'd be canceled for sure.
00:08:56.580
Like, yeah, you probably do, but like gay jokes could fly and shit, like crazy shit.
00:09:01.240
I remember what we were doing, but, um, shit like that, just messing around with friends,
00:09:06.180
And then getting into YouTube, um, and in high school, I was kind of always good at video,
00:09:11.440
like all sides of video, like the filmmaking side too, like editing, directing and shit
00:09:18.660
I think, especially if you're creative, you have to be able to do that kind of stuff.
00:09:22.520
Everyone that was coming up, like you got to be multi-layered, you got to have the on
00:09:27.220
And then you got to also be able to be your own producer, right?
00:09:30.200
That's all the YouTubers that make it kind of do both.
00:09:34.420
I always knew I was going to do something in film.
00:09:36.760
Um, and I was like applying to go to film school and shit.
00:09:39.920
And, um, but we started uploading shit on YouTube and it slowly started getting traction,
00:09:55.880
I think I might've jerked to my first YouTube check.
00:10:03.680
And it was like, uh, it was called like the YouTube partner program.
00:10:06.760
And I saw like other YouTubers, they were like making a living off YouTube.
00:10:10.760
And I was like, no fucking way you can like make a living off YouTube.
00:10:15.100
Like you just get paid to upload fucking YouTube videos.
00:10:19.780
So we kept applying and we kept getting denied.
00:10:24.620
So we would start making like a thousand bucks a month, 2000 bucks a month, you know,
00:10:28.340
like just enough to kind of like, you know, just fund some shit, like do videos and shit.
00:10:37.720
Like in a way, it's like business, you know, it's like you start to create something, it
00:10:41.320
And then that's when you're like, okay, now this is a business.
00:10:45.880
And I told my parents, I was like, I think the videos were getting like, you know, 100,000
00:10:50.720
And I was like, yo, I think if I want to ever do, be my own boss and do anything in this
00:10:55.960
fucking like genre or whatever, I think this is the way to go.
00:10:59.360
So just like build my own shit, be my own boss.
00:11:02.400
And then I can kind of do whatever I want when I kind of make it.
00:11:08.040
Were they, they, they believed in me because yeah, they, they kind of believed in me and
00:11:12.900
I think it was like blind faith, to be honest, which is cool.
00:11:16.060
Like a lot of people say like my parents never fucking supported me, but mine was like
00:11:23.640
I say I worked at a golf course, so I saved up like all summer, just fucking slaving at the
00:11:30.220
Was there some cool people you would see at the golf course?
00:11:33.760
I think like actually, yeah, four people that work for us now, they worked for me.
00:11:40.280
I got like six of my Canadian buddies from back home and they all work with us now.
00:11:53.580
There's so many, there's so many importing of Mexicans, right?
00:11:55.440
It's like there is a lot of Canadians though too.
00:11:57.260
Yeah, but I'd love to see a ton of them just rush over the woods at one point.
00:12:06.000
When like a shit ton of them come across the border at once.
00:12:12.900
No, he called it something like, it was a really good name.
00:12:23.760
There's like a huge, that would be pretty cool.
00:12:26.280
Dude, if you had a bunch of Canadians roll in, dude.
00:12:29.600
And then they had to fight in fucking like Ohio or something.
00:12:32.600
And then what the, like ISIS to go to the Canadian border and like keep everyone out.
00:12:38.200
Dude, how weird will it get when we have to hire ISIS to come protect our borders?
00:12:45.580
We had a border patrol agent on and he said it's just crazy.
00:12:50.760
He said, well, first of all, the cartels own a lot of the land by the border or they like hypothetically own it, right?
00:12:57.860
So if you're bringing across a, I don't know what we call it, illegal alien, a migrant, somebody who's coming in, right?
00:13:05.600
Then you have to pay those, the cartels have to be paid for you to use that part of the land to get to the border.
00:13:14.880
So there's like a whole, there's little levels of business that are going on on that side, right?
00:13:18.880
And then a lot of times that you pay a certain amount and they just guarantee that they'll get you to the border.
00:13:25.700
So this is like Mexicans paying to come to the US.
00:13:29.280
And then you got to pay, it's like an extra, like sometimes they'll hit you at the last minute.
00:13:34.540
So the cartel is making money off all these people traveling, trying to like escape to the US.
00:13:46.160
And then they, if they get busted, a lot of times the problem that the guy was saying was that they don't.
00:13:55.260
So the border police will like last or whatever.
00:14:02.740
So like a month later, it's the same dude running across with like.
00:14:07.600
But I mean, it's so crazy that the US like isn't allowed to have like a border.
00:14:12.620
It's so, to me, like, it's so dumb how people don't understand that.
00:14:19.320
It's just like every country has to have a border.
00:14:21.480
Yeah, you have to have like a organized system.
00:14:25.620
Like Ronald Reagan had a, there was, I think it was during the Reagan administration.
00:14:29.800
And maybe Zach, you can look this up where they had, you got to sponsor someone who was coming across.
00:14:34.120
So say you were a family that could take care of yourself or that was big hearted, you know.
00:14:38.540
You could say, okay, we're going to sponsor Hector, you know, or Oscar, you know.
00:14:42.440
And he's going to come stay with us and we're going to, you know, he's going to have like a, not like a parole officer, but almost like this social parole officer here in the US.
00:14:57.260
So then like the ICE or whoever, the authorities would have this American person that's connected to the person who's coming over.
00:15:07.820
I mean, you got to have some sort of system, right?
00:15:13.900
So basically Ronald Reagan cracked down on that, but he did have a thing that if you were in there before 1982, you had amnesty, which is kind of not protocol for the right typically.
00:15:24.940
He did have like a program where he kind of sponsored people.
00:15:28.520
Anyway, it's just been interesting what went on down there.
00:15:36.780
Now at that point when you roll out of here and you decide to come to LA, did your whole family come?
00:15:40.600
No, it was myself, Jesse, who used to be with us.
00:15:55.660
And yeah, we like just going to LA, you know, like landing at the airport, you see the palm trees and shit.
00:15:59.980
Like, and yeah, we were pretty broke at the time.
00:16:04.900
But also if you're Canadian, you can't sign a full year lease because like you don't have a SIN number or anything like that.
00:16:10.980
So we got rinsed with the fucking like short-term rental shit too.
00:16:15.340
So it was like kind of expensive to stay, you know?
00:16:21.640
And then, but yeah, we, we, we hit like our first like viral video.
00:16:28.140
We put like a bunch of Coca-Cola in the trunk of a car.
00:16:32.400
And then we like got put, we like parked in a suspicious area and then we told the cops we had cocaine and they arrested us.
00:16:45.420
What is something like that gets 50 million views earn you?
00:16:49.700
I don't think we didn't make anything off that, but theoretically, I guess 50 mil.
00:16:55.980
I mean, some people make a thousand per million at the lowest, but you could make, you can make like 5,000 per million.
00:17:07.360
But then it also does get your name out there, which also has just as much value.
00:17:13.340
I think, I think honestly, we might not even be here if we got paid off YouTube because you get really comfortable too, right?
00:17:18.240
A lot of those kids fell off that like they were making a lot of money off YouTube and now they're kind of nowhere to be found.
00:17:30.940
But, okay, so then at what point does kind of the podcast, you guys become this, do you get up?
00:17:37.560
And then I think we just like, we did six months LA, six months Canada, six months LA.
00:17:47.700
So we'd go back to Canada, live at our parents' house and shit always slowed down when we went home.
00:17:52.960
Because you're not around like like-minded people and shit.
00:17:55.120
Like you're in LA and you're like, dude, we went to a party once with fucking like, our first time there, like we ended up at like P. Diddy's house.
00:18:03.300
And fucking like, you see like Bieber and Kendall Jenner and like French Montana and shit.
00:18:12.760
So it's just like, and then you go back home and it's just like, you know what I mean?
00:18:16.320
You're going to visit your buddy on his farm or some shit.
00:18:21.920
Yeah, it's like people watching animals fuck and they invite you over.
00:18:29.640
You know, everybody's afraid to beat their wife.
00:18:36.700
Yeah, so that had to be fucking wild then because you get so amped up.
00:18:42.720
Now, but people started to look at you guys as like freaking young legends when you got back home, huh?
00:18:47.840
I mean, you go home fucking, you're the hometown hero type shit.
00:18:53.820
You're still not smashing them yet, but you're getting closer.
00:18:56.980
Every time you go back home, you get a little, little closer.
00:19:03.360
But yeah, one time I think we went home and we're almost just like, we almost just quit.
00:19:07.600
Because it's just like, we weren't getting views at the time too.
00:19:11.800
Um, but then we just kind of, we, this is when pranks were like a thing too.
00:19:15.760
I don't know if you followed it, but like, you know, like Vitaly and Roman Atwood.
00:19:26.280
Somebody said he bit the neck open of a hooker.
00:19:32.400
He's, he's a really nice guy, but yeah, he, I think he just, just like shroomed out a little
00:19:43.260
He's one of the persons that like inspired me too, but that was sad to see.
00:19:53.640
I mean, he obviously he's a guy that likes to go hard.
00:19:57.100
They want to do like a lot of, it seems like kind of butt activities and drugs.
00:20:01.520
And by, you know, it's like they fucking don't, it's like somebody came in
00:20:05.940
at night and fucking made it, took a slice of their brain out and made a sandwich with
00:20:09.700
And they're missing a fucking, it's like a, I can't even explain it.
00:20:21.680
It's like, I think it's like 20 hour flight away from Ukraine.
00:20:24.340
It doesn't sound like it's out of the danger zone.
00:20:27.500
We're going to find out, but we're going to link with Hezbollah.
00:20:40.620
Just when we went to Abu Dhabi, just the, like, he's very, I don't know.
00:20:46.580
You would assume, I mean, you're kind of judging him.
00:20:48.360
You think like, he's like, kind of like a little baby, but like, he's not, he's
00:20:51.540
fucking, he's whipping out his phone, like going live and like, he's holding
00:20:55.240
his phone like this, like swiping around, like he's, he's on it.
00:21:04.720
Like when we went to the UFC, it was just like, I mean, this guy walks in a room, every
00:21:09.400
single person in the room, like, you know, if you're a male, female, young or old, they're
00:21:15.640
Even babies, even a two-year-old would come up to him.
00:21:21.020
And I actually, I saw him, I was like, holy shit, I feel bad, bro.
00:21:24.500
Like this guy is like, photos everywhere he goes.
00:21:32.000
I know little people hate when you pick them up too.
00:21:34.680
I think as it unsettles their system, Google that if we can pick up a little one.
00:21:40.500
Like I used to have this buddy that was short growing up and he was the nicest guy, but
00:21:43.900
like if someone picked him up, he'd fucking hate it.
00:21:47.040
He just like, one time someone picked him up and then like they put him down and he just
00:21:53.140
That should be a UFC fight where they just take small people and somebody picks them up
00:21:57.840
That's what I thought was going to happen because Hasboula has a nemesis too, right?
00:22:03.040
And he has, the little guy has the same thing as him or it's a child?
00:22:07.220
I don't know what the condition is or whatever it is.
00:22:24.820
Somebody said he was, he was like playing like a young Babe Ruth.
00:22:30.280
And the guy on the right, he's boys with Ronaldo.
00:22:39.080
It's kind of cool though now since there's a lot of celebrity boxing that I could see as they
00:22:42.400
get older, they could do a tag match or they could do, you know what I'm saying?
00:22:46.540
It's all going to, everything's going to end in the ring now in a weird way.
00:22:53.180
I think he's going to be in like the video game or some shit.
00:23:04.700
I saw a m**** get attacked by two cats one time, bro.
00:23:26.860
He didn't do, I mean, he didn't do great, but he didn't do bad.
00:23:39.640
You were, you were, honestly, you were laughing so hard the rest of your body didn't work.
00:23:47.540
It's hard to be laughing hysterically and like, I think, actively jump.
00:24:13.820
Nobody would say that, but even some people will.
00:24:15.640
But yeah, you see a cat, you don't think about it, but a fucking little person, even if they
00:24:21.380
come over to your house, dude, and there's like one of those wiener dogs, dude, it's
00:24:28.200
Now, that's a fair fight, I think, like, little person versus wiener dog.
00:24:32.000
Just because of the inability of the wiener dog to probably circle as easily, you know?
00:24:39.140
No, I think you're not giving the f***s enough credit.
00:24:41.120
I know a few little people, and they're fucking, they're kind of strong, bro.
00:24:45.520
Like, they always have, like, big upper bodies, too.
00:24:49.120
You know, if you're looking for a new gift that will inspire somebody and help broaden
00:24:53.820
their life and branch their life out verbally, then you want to look at Babbel.

00:25:55.520
You know, I waste money on different subscriptions, I notice.
00:26:01.300
I realized I accidentally subscribed to, it was like Sherman's shoestrings or something.
00:26:07.740
And they start sending you separate pairs of strings, you know, shoestrings.
00:26:13.500
Just, you know, you got dang, you know, I got 90 feet of shoestrings at the house now.
00:26:18.280
And I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to unsubscribe.
00:26:25.500
You know, 80% of people have subscriptions they forgot about.
00:26:29.360
It could be an unused Amazon Prime account or a Hulu account that never gets streamed.
00:26:40.140
Rocket Money, it's the app that shows all your subscriptions in one place and cancels what you don't want.
00:26:47.800
Rocket Money can even find subscriptions you didn't know you were paying for.
00:26:51.340
You may even find out you've been double charged for a subscription.

00:27:02.640
Right now, cancel unnecessary subscriptions with Rocket Money today.
00:27:11.280
Seriously, it could save you hundreds per year.
00:27:17.760
Yeah, I used to watch that show Little People Big World all the time.
00:27:24.960
It was a family that owned a pumpkin patch, which was insane because it was like the biggest vegetable in the world, right?
00:27:29.080
So like there was like a family of small people in Oregon, and they owned a pumpkin patch.
00:27:56.900
I know being a little person would be weird, but what if your father was a little person and you weren't?
00:28:09.700
This was a big show for a long time, and you would just follow the family.
00:28:14.160
And the father and mother always had discrepancies.
00:28:19.680
And they may have had one other son who was a regular hiding.
00:28:22.640
But yeah, that'd be so wild if your dad was little, because you'd always feel like you were probably going...
00:28:27.380
It's like he's trying to ground you and shit, and you're like, Dad, watch your tone and shit.
00:28:33.240
Or if you come home drunk one time, you're like, no way.
00:28:48.240
Do you partner up with someone once you guys start getting all this traction?
00:28:51.080
How do you kind of like get your business to the next level?
00:29:00.720
I actually don't know what that means, but I don't know.
00:29:14.480
I don't know what Forbes 30 under 30 is, but it sounds good, right?
00:29:21.660
A lot of chicks hit me up about it and shit, so...
00:29:23.720
It sounds good, but I don't know how I got it, but fuck it.
00:29:26.660
So how do you get from where your channel is going well, you guys are doing well, to
00:29:33.300
I guess the big play for us was the happy dad stuff, for sure.
00:29:41.800
Our merch was killing it, but yeah, happy dad's something that I've definitely always wanted
00:29:46.540
to do, because my whole goal is to, yeah, I just want to build a big long-term business
00:29:53.440
that could outlive me or outlive anyone part of the crew, you know?
00:29:58.120
Just build something bigger, but yeah, happy dad.
00:30:00.360
We always wanted to do our own alcohol, because we're always drinking and shit, drinking in
00:30:03.740
the videos, so we either wanted to get a deal or start our own, and we were repping Corona
00:30:09.260
a lot at the time, but we were too edgy to get a deal from Corona.
00:30:20.220
But no, the alcohol industry is so political and so, in terms of advertising.
00:30:29.100
Yeah, we wanted to do something with Corona, but they never did it.
00:30:34.240
We used to be like WME, and they were trying to get us to start an alcohol, but it never
00:30:39.800
And then I met John and Sam, John and Sam Shahidi at dinner, and they were interested
00:30:46.820
And they said, yo, is there any way we can help?
00:30:50.880
And I just told them straight up, like, I was like, yo, I want to start a fucking alcohol.
00:30:54.740
I was like, if you guys could do it, if you guys want to project manage that for us, I
00:30:59.800
So they found these two guys, the Butao brothers and their family.
00:31:07.940
We started taste testing it and shit, and it took us like a whole year.
00:31:11.320
So we started from like a point, tested it, said change this, change this, change this,
00:31:17.560
And it took us like eight different times over like a year.
00:31:20.480
To get to like the product that we have now that we really like.
00:31:28.740
You guys do a lot of those great like drops and stuff where like you guys will show up
00:31:39.760
Like, yeah, it's all about like meeting store owners, meeting bar owners.
00:31:43.860
Like you got to go and put in the work physically and like shake hands, meet people.
00:31:47.960
Like the social media aspect is one thing, but like you got to show up places.
00:31:56.020
Has it been a lot busy as once that became part of it?
00:32:04.960
But then, yeah, with Happy Dad and then now the podcast too.
00:32:07.960
It's like a lot of traveling, moving around, especially with the pod.
00:32:12.000
Like if we want to get the best guests, sometimes you only get 24 hours notice.
00:32:16.340
Like if fucking Elon Musk says like, yo, I want to do this.
00:32:19.340
Like we got to fly to Texas, jump on a plane, wait around for a few days.
00:32:30.280
I told it before, but what happened was like we, I think it was Sam's birthday.
00:32:35.100
So we took a jet to Texas and then we had no service.
00:32:40.340
So right when we landed, we got, it was so crazy because John got like two texts, Steve's
00:32:46.500
channels deleted, like YouTube called him and said, Steve's channels deleted.
00:32:50.920
And the second message was Elon messaged him and says, why is my security telling me that
00:32:56.780
one of the guys on your crew is a security threat?
00:33:01.500
Like, what are we talking, what are they talking about?
00:33:02.820
And then they said like, Steven deal in artists.
00:33:09.820
Steve in the past, when Bitcoin crashed, he made like a funny video, like shitting on
00:33:16.620
And I think he was like, he has like a mannequin of Elon and he was like shooting guns out of
00:33:23.080
So like, I guess the security, they don't know, right?
00:33:26.740
And they probably think that's, they just see this guy shooting a fucking assault rifle at
00:33:31.740
And asking the flight, the pilots, like, what's his flight schedule and shit.
00:33:36.900
And they basically like, Elon's like, our whole team was set up at his house.
00:33:40.700
Like they, they were with his kids and like his, one of his wives or whatever.
00:33:44.880
And, um, they, they had to leave and pack up and leave.
00:33:50.940
Like, and he was also like, so down about his channel.
00:33:53.860
So he's like, yo, I'm, I'm gonna sit this one out.
00:33:59.300
And then, um, we kept messaging Elon back and forth and like, it went down like 48 hours
00:34:05.760
He was like, maybe he kept, he just sends like one or two word answers with periods
00:34:12.580
And then eventually he's just like, all right, let's do it.
00:34:14.800
And then he just pulled up and he stayed for four hours.
00:34:20.500
And when he pulled up, who went to meet him first?
00:34:23.000
Did you just, how do you, we were just sitting in that room right there and he just walked
00:34:28.580
Just walked in and he probably crushed like six happy dads.
00:34:33.380
He's got, yeah, he, he's definitely an undercover partier.
00:34:40.420
A buddy of mine went to like a party his whenever he worked.
00:34:44.580
Well, I think whenever he was seeing like Amber Herds, right?
00:34:48.160
And he like asked him if he wanted some spaghetti or something.
00:34:52.100
He asked my buddy if he wanted some spaghetti and he's like, uh, yeah, I'll have some spaghetti.
00:34:55.940
And so then he just like took some off of his plate on a fork and like put it in my
00:35:01.220
Instead of like making him some spaghetti, like, you know.
00:35:03.380
I think it seemed like, do you want me to get you some spaghetti?
00:35:13.080
You know, it's just like, it's probably more efficient if I just give you some spaghetti
00:35:15.760
that I have and see if you want more spaghetti, then go get you a possibly wasteful amount
00:35:22.700
You know, but yeah, my buddy said that that was so crazy.
00:35:25.420
And then there was a party where like people would just kind of go around with like a little
00:35:33.820
He reaches his fingers in and kind of, you know, takes his time, makes a good decision.
00:35:38.420
Oh, I bet he puts all the coke out of the bag and touches it and then puts it back in
00:35:54.120
Trying to think if I've ever done anything like that.
00:35:55.880
No, I saw a guy get bit by a rattlesnake one time.
00:36:04.600
And he had some kind of, I don't know, he was impaired or something, but he couldn't do,
00:36:11.760
So like whenever it was like we would do yard work together.
00:36:16.020
And so whenever, like he'd, you know, get thirsty, you'd have to fucking give him the
00:36:19.060
water and then kind of like, you know, he'd have to like kind of maneuver him more, you
00:36:23.320
So sometimes we'd fucking put that hose in him, bro, and fucking forget about it.
00:36:28.000
We'd start playing a game of pool or something and that dude's over there fucking halfway
00:36:37.360
But, um, so then that's really what took y'all to another business level was doing that.
00:36:43.120
Cause then you're an alcohol brand, then you're obviously a bit, you know, you're like, you're
00:36:50.100
I think that's our, I mean, I know that's our billion dollar play, hopefully multi-billion
00:36:54.100
dollar play if we just keep the momentum going.
00:36:57.420
But it all comes down to, we still got to make funny videos.
00:37:00.120
We still got to do what we've always been doing, but I think that's our big play for
00:37:07.080
Like, um, do you think about how things need to evolve?
00:37:11.500
Because I find a lot of times I'm like, do I stay in this space that I'm in and where
00:37:19.620
Do I also recognize that like my audience will be getting older as I get older?
00:37:30.220
And then it's like, you have your own personal kind of life and your own personal feelings,
00:37:39.040
Like what people want to see sometimes is maybe not what you're actually kind of feeling
00:37:45.640
I think I try to stay pretty clear on kind of what's going on.
00:37:50.440
Because it keeps me in a space, but that's also, this is a channel where it's like kind
00:37:56.440
Whereas I think, yeah, you guys are more of like a entertainment.
00:38:04.280
I think, I think, uh, we used to do every week on the main Nelk channel, which was like
00:38:12.260
Cause it's just like, yeah, I think for me now I've done it so long too, where it's not
00:38:17.620
possible to do every week and it's not possible to put out a fire video every week.
00:38:22.580
So for me, it's just more satisfying now to do like one good video a month, you know,
00:38:28.240
Like we're going to fucking Russia and like, we're going to see Hezbollah, Khabib and Islam
00:38:34.220
And like, I think that's like a cool video, you know?
00:38:41.780
He's not going because, um, he's not, he, we wouldn't give him first class.
00:38:54.500
He's like, didn't he, he didn't even fly some girl first class that was going to hang out
00:38:59.480
Do you, you, I don't know if you've seen any of his shit, but.
00:39:05.420
I could see him being that kind of guy, wear like a Rolex neck.
00:39:07.620
He wear, he like, he rents chains off jewelers.
00:39:14.420
He tried, he thought that we would budge on the first class.
00:39:17.400
So he told us, he's like, I'm not going unless I get first class.
00:39:33.180
And he just started as like a on-camera guy, right?
00:39:35.820
He was picking up Steve's underwear fucking four months ago.
00:39:46.760
For sure, you don't get the 15, but you don't get that out of the gate, dude.
00:39:50.180
Unless you, you know, unless there's like BTS fucking gay activity going on.
00:40:00.420
If he puts in a year of work and kills it, then it's like.
00:40:14.840
People get very comfortable very quickly, too, right?
00:40:20.620
That's kind of a tough thing, because I've long tried to find an assistant.
00:40:23.820
And it's tough to find like, like an on-camera partner, you know?
00:40:27.520
And it's like, it's tough because you like tried a couple people and some of them were
00:40:30.400
kind of cloudy and you're like, oh, this isn't, they don't get it.
00:40:40.340
I think, I think gay males make the best assistants.
00:40:48.640
Because like, you know, like a girl, if you're a girl, like he can pick up shit, like he's
00:40:53.600
So like, if you have a female assistant, they'll use the female card sometimes and be like,
00:40:57.080
yo, I'm not picking up that box, like type shit.
00:41:02.120
But then if you're like sick or some shit, the feminine side comes out and he'll, you
00:41:09.560
So you got that perfect balance of like the male, female.
00:41:20.300
And now I think you also, now how tender of a gay male could you have?
00:41:26.240
We're like, I think he's honestly like transphobic and shit too.
00:41:30.080
So he's like, he, you know, he doesn't like guys that like paint their nails and shit too.
00:41:35.220
So we can still like rip on gay people in front of them.
00:41:38.220
So like, you know, we don't got to change the way we talk and shit around them too.
00:41:54.640
If there's a big day that you need him, like he's good.
00:42:14.040
Because Brazil already seems like it has a lot of just gay built into it.
00:42:28.660
Dude, I remember we didn't, you know, they didn't have a lot of gay.
00:42:47.400
But I think in the black community, they're not as accepting of gays in a lot of ways.
00:42:54.360
Well, all the rappers would like, they've dropped like homophobic shit all the time.
00:43:14.480
But that's why they need that conquistador gay dude.
00:43:23.580
There's a fucking fly in the soup right here, dude.
00:43:27.020
He was shooting people and fucking and doing drugs and fucking, you know, eating tiger
00:43:44.940
And I know you probably see this more because you're getting.
00:43:51.900
Um, I think happy dad alone this year will be worth 250 million.
00:44:00.880
Um, but there's a lot of, uh, wealth induced homosexuality.
00:44:08.380
It means you get so wealthy and you've had so many opportunities with women.
00:44:16.360
They'd had sex with all the women that they started having sex with men.
00:44:20.460
Um, cause you hear that a lot in like Hollywood and shit, right?
00:44:23.660
Like I heard like P Diddy's gay or some shit or like.
00:44:39.260
It's like once you get so much women's with the last thing you can, you know, you're trying
00:44:44.220
to sneak into a dude's butt that don't want you, you know, not to make it so, but it's
00:44:49.980
like, what's the last thing on earth that I can't get some straight dude, you know?
00:45:02.200
And it's like, at a certain point, you're like, yeah, I think it just happens.
00:45:07.300
It's like, you know, because you've had everything else, you know, you kind of get to this other
00:45:12.040
place, um, which all, which with, uh, the podcast with the full sin podcast, right?
00:45:19.220
You guys have had a decent amount of turnover on there.
00:45:30.520
Is it that I know you guys travel around a lot and so people need to be here and there.
00:45:36.500
What has been like, what has been some of the kind of journey with that?
00:45:40.760
I think at the beginning we were just kind of just having fun with it, trying new people
00:45:46.020
Obviously we had the one incident with Bob, which like I kind of already talked about and
00:45:53.600
But I think that was like our only real like big host change, but we've subbed in like
00:45:59.540
Salim or like Steve, like, which we'll still continue to do.
00:46:02.780
And now we got Brad that is on it most of the time too.
00:46:07.860
I think, I think we recorded like four episodes of the pod before we even released it.
00:46:22.960
Cause it's something that I could do no matter how old I get.
00:46:26.400
And you get to meet so many fucking cool people.
00:46:33.260
Like when, when, when, um, once Elon sat down with you, were you, do you find, is there
00:46:40.440
a lead person who kind of takes the lead and breaks the ice?
00:46:44.560
It was, it was, I kind of took lead a bit on that one, but yeah, it was a bit awkward
00:46:49.600
Cause I was like, you're kind of nervous too, right?
00:46:52.640
I'm not like some fucking TV show host or some shit too.
00:47:03.440
It's like, I can't know how to get, I still can't know how to get into a Tesla.
00:47:10.300
I think once the truck comes out, if it ever does.
00:47:12.500
And that's the part that pisses me off the most is that he hasn't brought the truck
00:47:15.800
out and I don't know why it's like, what the fuck's going on?
00:47:21.260
Other cars, I think they just look kind of whatever.
00:47:25.660
They look kind of like a bad, it looks like if you get in there, it's going to take you
00:47:33.300
I guess the whole energy thing, but I, maybe I'm a scumbag.
00:47:37.720
I don't want to run out of battery on the road.
00:47:39.380
Yeah, you also don't want to tell, you don't want to hike to somebody's house in the middle
00:47:43.020
that I can be like, my battery's down or whatever.
00:47:48.620
Maybe I'm fucking up the world, but it is what it is.
00:47:52.380
Sometimes I pour a little gas on the outside of my fucking car, dude.
00:48:01.440
Dude, if you sit in one of those old cars, it's like a Chevelle or Chevrolet or, you know,
00:48:06.400
Chevy, and you fucking, there's one that just, when you get in, it's like that.
00:48:10.660
And you always, you always hate, you always dread going to the gas station.
00:48:16.000
But then when you're actually there and you're filling it up.
00:48:24.560
But then when you're there, you're like, this is kind of dope, actually.
00:48:30.060
And sometimes you feel like, oh, maybe I'll meet a chick here.
00:48:34.500
There's like a chance it's always just some dude, like some dude who looks kind of like
00:48:39.640
And he's, I feel like he's in like a Celica or something.
00:48:45.080
You know, or it's some angry Middle Eastern dude.
00:48:47.280
I'm like, how's every Middle Eastern dude angry?
00:48:50.440
Like, and we get like seven Middle Eastern dudes that are fucking pleased.
00:48:56.380
You can't fuck around with Middle Eastern people.
00:49:00.040
Because I think they've been through like, they live in sand.
00:49:07.220
To live at the beach, but nowhere near the water is fucking.
00:49:46.560
And I think the suction kind of gets you pretty good.
00:49:49.200
So, and the more you move, the quicker it goes.
00:49:51.760
At least if you're drowning, you have a chance too, right?
00:49:59.400
And then you have to throw your phone far so it doesn't go down with you.
00:50:18.080
Because then you see how many seconds you have.
00:50:19.320
But I think people are like, what, 180 centimeters?
00:50:36.100
Dude, I always wanted to make like this kind of weird kind of Japanese style game show where
00:50:39.560
you get two guys to like, two like just real rural fellas, you know?
00:50:44.120
People that are just, you know, that believe mostly in cum, you know?
00:50:54.660
And they both like defecate down like onto a scale, right?
00:51:12.620
You just see the scale and that's what's really publicized.
00:51:15.900
You see the scale and there's like a host up there asking him a couple questions, you know?
00:51:25.840
I think that that would be kind of a fascinating little game show because a lot of guys, they...
00:51:30.580
You know, the best thing they can do is shit, I feel like.
00:51:34.540
There's guys out there that they feel like that's what they fucking do.
00:51:41.700
I spend, I think, too much time on the shitter.
00:51:45.360
I just get like a lot of good work done there and shit.
00:51:47.800
Like when you're sitting down to take a good shit.
00:51:56.260
I feel like it's not a good shit unless your legs fall asleep.
00:51:58.660
Like right when you start to get that tingle, you're like, all right.
00:52:10.660
I was in Cancun and some girl, this was during spring break, came in and just did sex on me right there.
00:52:30.820
And she started just like riding you or some shit?
00:52:32.840
It was a nightclub and I probably could have been doing drugs.
00:52:52.240
You know, so it feels like you're like getting set up or something, you know?
00:52:57.600
And also, I think there was the nightclub and there was like kind of...
00:53:00.680
They had like too many smoke machines in there.
00:53:13.120
You know, you just every now and then, there's something, you know, the light shines on you.

When you guys went to see Trump, you guys went on Air Force One, right?
00:56:22.060
I don't know how many Canadians have been on there, right?
00:56:28.420
I said before, I personally felt like the interior's a little outdated.
00:56:33.440
I feel like they could get an interior designer in there and shit.
00:56:38.060
But I feel like the interior designer maybe should be fired or something.
00:57:06.220
That's when people were really, really hating him.
00:57:08.940
Because at first he kind of represented this underdog type of thing, you know?
00:57:13.640
Well, you think when he ran against Clinton, people didn't hate him as much?
00:57:23.760
Somebody else would have done a little bit better in his position if they'd had a little...
00:57:35.100
I mean, he's great, but I don't know if he connects to people that well as a human.
00:57:46.540
But when he made it that far, I remember when he got elected, I was like, holy shit, dude.
00:57:54.200
No one thought he was going to win the first time.
00:57:57.080
Oh, when he first came out in the beginning, I was like, I think he's going to win.
00:58:01.280
We went with Dana, and then we were supposed to interview him, right?
00:58:05.940
And then the last second, they came in, they're like, yo, we're not doing it.
00:58:10.320
They're like, yeah, Trump wants you guys to come into his office, though.
00:58:18.060
So, we go in, and Trump's watching fucking Ted Cruz on the TV.
00:58:22.480
And he's chirping him, making fun of him and shit.
00:58:34.680
And then he's just like, oh, look at these handsome guys.
00:58:42.940
And he pulled us up on stage for the fucking YMCA.
00:59:11.220
But when he posted that on his Instagram, we were like, holy fuck, bro.
00:59:18.620
Like, Air Force One, YMCA with Trump to, like, I can't believe this shit.
00:59:23.340
Like, it's kind of crazy how things can just start to happen once things get going, right?
00:59:26.980
And you're like, how am I in this crazy scenario?
00:59:30.200
Like, I'll find myself at certain people's homes or certain environments.
00:59:35.880
Like, we're going to Paris Fashion Week next week.
00:59:37.880
And, like, it's, like, Mike Tyson, me, Andrew Schultz.
00:59:45.680
Are you going to, like, walk the runway and shit?
00:59:47.960
Like, for some company, I mean, they're paying us.
01:00:02.300
I guess you get used to it, but then you don't.
01:00:17.500
He's always sitting across, talking real quietly to some girl.
01:00:40.840
No, I don't know him, but he's one of my favorite actors.
01:00:55.040
So bizarre, especially with the fighting, the UFC stuff.
01:00:57.300
That's the part sometimes that's, like, a little scary.
01:01:04.580
I grew up in a neighborhood where people were always knocking the.
01:01:08.420
Like, I remember the first day in our neighborhood.
01:01:11.420
This dude, Milford, was fighting this senior citizen right in the street.
01:01:28.340
And, yeah, and he threw him right in that bitch, dude.
01:01:40.180
Did he stop, drop, and roll, or just go right back into the scratch?
01:01:49.100
People were just fucking and drinking Dr. Pepper fucking and losing their shit.
01:01:58.460
But we just grew up in that environment where people were always fighting.
01:02:01.160
So you always knew that, you know, in order to get to a different part of our neighborhood,
01:02:07.520
It was always like, you know, there were always trolls under the bridge, you know?
01:02:12.080
And so I think there's some of that energy with UFC.
01:02:16.240
Why, you think someone's going to press you there, like, jump out of the ring?
01:02:18.780
Well, the most, the people who are most enjoy pressing or being pressed are all in that building.
01:02:27.940
And everybody in the fan is like an amateur, you know, in the parking lot at those events,
01:02:32.060
it's just fucking people beating each other's keys out of each other's hands.
01:02:48.560
That's got to be in the top, I don't know what.
01:02:51.180
But that was one of the best fights I've ever seen in my life.
01:03:00.460
And I thought he'd like, yeah, I think, yeah, it's just fascinating to see those guys.
01:03:13.660
Because I think Cheeto, Sean thought, he's like, oh, I got him, it's done.
01:03:21.440
I know, because Cheeto, I don't know if you can knock Cheeto.
01:03:27.480
They used to call him like the monkey or something.
01:03:31.380
Dude, I went and saw Zach Bryan, the Zach Bryan concert, right?
01:03:36.140
And I go there and I walk up kind of backstage and Cheeto fucking Vera is there.
01:03:42.840
And Cheeto speaks English good, but it's like, I don't know if it's great enough to listen
01:03:50.020
It was the most random thing in the whole world.
01:03:58.560
And then you get these guys from like, all the Dagestanis, yeah.
01:04:04.300
That's why I'm pumped to go see because I feel like no one's kind of seen how they like
01:04:14.740
But we're going to go see Islam and he's training to fight Volkanovski.
01:04:18.120
So he's five hours up in the mountains drive from Dagestan.
01:04:22.000
So he's like in the cold lakes and shit and they're like living in cabins.
01:04:26.960
I've seen it on his Instagram, but I was talking to their team today and it looks like we're
01:04:34.320
Dude, that's because you need to get one of those missile launchers too and shoot it.
01:04:47.260
You saw his last fight in Abu Dhabi or did you watch it?
01:04:49.620
Was that the one where he fought Kevin Holland?
01:05:00.520
He's kind of like they play like the they play like the modest card and shit, but they're
01:05:04.660
always like dripped out in Dior and like they dress like Khabib like drips hard.
01:05:12.440
Like he's always like he's got Dior kicks on and shit, but then they play the modest
01:05:23.720
They're kind of hesitant about us coming to Dagestan.
01:05:29.380
So I think now they're looking on Airbnb and shit and like they're going to just like rent
01:05:32.540
a cabin and be like, all right, this is where we live and shit, you know, but their
01:05:45.620
For some reason with Khabib, I have this idea of him like sleeping in like his childhood
01:05:49.300
bed still and his grandmother's in the other room, you know, making like.
01:06:09.840
Cause when you're famous there too, like if you're like Middle Eastern, like royalty,
01:06:17.240
Like when you're worshiped over there, I feel like it's different than here.
01:06:21.580
Have you been around some wealth and you're like, okay, this is some.
01:06:25.360
I've, I've been to Abu Dhabi twice and I just know those people are so proud of the
01:06:29.280
people that, you know, cause Dagestan is kind of close to the Middle East too, right?
01:06:33.220
It's like right on the Southern part of Russia, I think.
01:06:41.120
Like those guys are like, he's like, especially in the Muslim like religion too.
01:06:48.420
So he gets everything for free probably in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, everywhere he goes, like Saudi probably.
01:06:55.800
Cause that's like a, no, that's a world where there's like, you know, even a chat, like in
01:07:14.480
So I'm kind of start to wonder what's going to come up next, you know, because America's
01:07:19.500
kind of become this, like, it's definitely changing, huh?
01:07:28.020
I mean, after the whole COVID shit, it was, it was bad there.
01:07:31.320
Like Canada was fully locked down for like two years.
01:07:36.860
And like when, when you go home too, like you notice, like when I went home one time,
01:07:40.820
like people like look at you and like back away.
01:07:43.640
Like it was like, it, people were brainwashed there straight up.
01:07:51.240
They just, they almost are willing to be more brainwashed.
01:08:04.040
But I think that kind of slowed us down a little bit.
01:08:06.660
And then, yeah, I think people are just too pussy in North American culture, right?
01:08:11.680
I mean, in America, it was like, I think people didn't know what to do.
01:08:14.320
The media really controlled a lot of that narrative too, and scared a lot of people.
01:08:17.680
I think that's one thing we learned from COVID is like, wow, the media is powerful.
01:08:29.000
It's like whoever owns the bandwidth, that's it.
01:08:33.000
You know, people keep talking about oil and all this bullshit, dude.
01:08:35.920
It's like, it's whoever owns the fucking bandwidth.
01:08:44.360
It was, um, I think we were talking about it earlier.
01:08:49.000
I got to go out to dinner with Jordan one time.
01:08:50.520
So he was, his daughter lives in Nashville, right?
01:08:52.160
So he came in and we all went to dinner and they eat meat, bro.
01:08:58.340
Is he American or is he from, cause he taught in Toronto.
01:09:03.640
And at the end of dinner, there was just literally a plate of bones in between them.
01:09:11.240
They're serious about like, they just, what's just, they're like carnivores or some shit?
01:09:16.140
They're just like, um, North American carnivores, I guess.
01:09:27.520
Like, that's why I just feel like there's just gotta be some like elite level of people
01:09:33.580
Cause like they just put something on a screen or like they put it on our phones and then
01:09:37.520
like we look at it and like, we just believe it.
01:09:41.800
They could put anything on our screens, on our phones and you're just gonna like, you're
01:09:50.980
It's called Don't Pick Up the Phone on Netflix?
01:10:07.240
And he would say, hey, this is so-and-so with us on the police department.
01:10:10.400
Um, we have access to you guys' closed server kit cameras.
01:10:13.800
We saw that a staff member had stolen some money, right?
01:10:18.140
Um, do you have a staff member that looks like this?
01:10:25.160
And they would say, okay, can you have them come into the office?
01:10:28.300
So this, this police officer is talking to the manager.
01:10:32.480
The manager has a staff person come in the office, right?
01:10:35.740
And then the police officer is like, okay, I'm gonna have to, we're gonna have to come
01:10:38.660
down and strip search her, or you can do it for us over the phone.
01:10:46.700
So they ask the employee and the employee is like, well, I'd rather have you do, I know
01:10:53.140
So then the guy's like, okay, we need you to have her take her shirt off.
01:10:56.860
And it keeps going on until the employee is like completely naked, like bending over,
01:11:03.780
spreading their ass, spreading their, you know, vagina, you know, vagina, you know, the
01:11:09.860
jeeks or whatever it's even called, um, lifting their tits up.
01:11:16.620
And all of this is on the cameras in the McDonald's.
01:11:19.880
So then at one point the manager's like, I've been doing this for an hour and 20 minutes
01:11:27.440
And the officer's like, is there anyone else you trust that you could have finished up the
01:11:32.080
And she's like, well, my fiance, I guess he could come down and help.
01:11:38.700
And is now on the phone with the police officer.
01:11:40.480
This lady has been there naked for an hour and a half.
01:11:43.500
The officer's like, yeah, I need you to like smell her body for like drugs.
01:11:47.820
And then I need you to like have her lay over your, your knees.
01:11:56.500
It's like this, it's this system that happens in your head when you get a little bit of direction
01:12:02.500
And by the end, this man is, this man who doesn't even work in the McDonald's is spanking
01:12:09.660
Then the, the officer says, this is like actually happened, bro.
01:12:25.560
In the end, this girl gives the man a blow job, dude.
01:12:35.600
And all he was trying to do was help his fricking wife.
01:12:42.460
Well, you have to be, but there's this thing where it's like, when you start to believe a
01:12:47.020
Is that when you start to believe something a little bit like, uh, no, it's a, it's a
01:12:51.920
system that's in there, but it was just a minute.
01:12:55.480
And finally, like they, they start to figure out who this guy is.
01:12:58.840
And, uh, I won't tell you what happens, but this guy had been doing it for like 10,
01:13:11.580
The, the, the, the level that it went to is just, what if it just started out as like
01:13:14.840
a funny prank call and then like, he's like just kind of fucking with them and then they
01:13:22.080
People were, um, they had a lot of instances where people smell in each other's butt, uh,
01:13:28.820
just things that were just really graphic, you know?
01:13:32.020
Can you imagine you're at a McDonald's, you getting strip searched?
01:13:37.060
Well, here's the best part of that call is at one point the janitor comes in, right?
01:13:43.260
He's like, oh, this guy's just fucking playing around.
01:13:57.600
Like when you work in the kitchen, they make the newest person do like the hardest job.
01:14:01.180
It's called like, like batch cooking or some shit.
01:14:03.700
And you got to like, like the burgers are on one side of the kitchen.
01:14:06.800
And then the fried shit, like the nuggets and the fucking all that shit.
01:14:14.060
And you got to like go back and forth and like do both.
01:14:19.900
And like the managers are up there just fucking off, like munching on fries and shit.
01:14:28.280
And then like some 40 year old was like bitching at me.
01:14:32.580
And then, and then I went to work at the golf course and just like fucked off and worked there.
01:14:36.100
Did you see a lot of celebs at the golf course that came through or no?
01:14:56.980
Sometimes I always had more semen in my body than I do.
01:15:04.340
Like, I know you guys had OJ Simpson on, right?
01:15:06.400
Take me through the process of how you pull in somebody like that.
01:15:09.020
And, and was there some, was there some ethical questions about it?
01:15:18.760
Actually, no, being real, we actually did debate it.
01:15:21.180
We've had the opportunity for like months, like on maybe like a year, honestly.
01:15:29.080
For us, it's usually like when the son's a fan.
01:15:33.600
Like if they have a male fan and he's 16 to whatever, 20 something, 28, he probably
01:15:50.720
He's like, I can get OJ for you guys, blah, blah, blah.
01:15:52.700
But the only condition is like, don't bring up the trial.
01:15:56.980
And that was like, that was the condition from day one.
01:16:08.100
Like a lot of people on our team didn't want to do it because we're like, like we asked
01:16:11.660
like even like Gary Vee, I think one time too, like, what do you think about this?
01:16:18.640
So we were kind of scared of it too because it is kind of fucked up.
01:16:21.820
Like, you know, how would the family feel like giving that guy a platform to talk?
01:16:26.700
But I think the way we went about it was when we decided to do it, we're just like, yo,
01:16:30.440
like we're just going to actually ask him like the tough question too.
01:16:34.160
We're not just going to go there and not ask that.
01:16:38.360
You know, that's actually a really great point.
01:16:41.080
By asking him at least there's that you're doing kind of what everybody wants to do.
01:16:46.600
And at the end of the day, it's like, I mean, it's not our fault.
01:16:52.960
Like we let out, like we had them on and that's what a podcast is.
01:16:58.980
I don't know if I believe in the not giving someone a platform thing.
01:17:05.440
I mean, we've had guys and, you know, guys that have had sex, you know, crime issues in
01:17:11.300
And it's like, when do you know if a guy's getting better or somebody or any type of
01:17:15.760
thing, you know, when do you know if a guy's getting better?
01:17:22.800
It's like if somebody were sick, you try to help them.
01:17:25.920
But with OJ, was it like, and I didn't mean you guys don't have any ethics.
01:17:29.120
I was just kind of kind of, but do you think when you saw him, was it hard to get that
01:17:36.000
It was so hard because he walked in right away and like, you know, he's big or not.
01:17:56.720
Oh, because now you have a little bit of a friendship.
01:18:04.240
And then we got into the pod and we're like, you know, again, he was, he's a very likable
01:18:08.780
guy, which is clearly how he, you know, he got, he did what he did.
01:18:15.840
But for that one, I was just pounding happy dads.
01:18:20.220
Like I was like, fuck, like I didn't want to do it, but I just like, I just kept pounding
01:18:24.760
Will happy dads help someone ask a question they don't want to ask you thing?
01:18:34.740
It doesn't help you ask a murderer if they did it.
01:18:40.060
It could almost be like a thing that's capable of.
01:18:48.960
Um, but yeah, I'm glad I did it because people would have been pissed.
01:18:53.680
It was like, do you think the, it wasn't like, do you think the murderer is still out
01:18:56.320
Are you, I think I said, first I asked him if he's scared to face God.
01:19:01.140
And then I said, yeah, like, do you think the killer is still out there?
01:19:05.700
Cause it's like, he's never really went out and looked for, have you ever even went and
01:19:13.440
Conspiracies and shit that his son did it or some shit, but.
01:19:19.840
But apparently like his son was involved or something.
01:19:29.340
But have you seen that before I watched like all the documentaries and shit and like, it
01:19:33.520
Like there was like eight domestic violence calls, like pictures of the Nicole, like beaten
01:19:46.820
But yeah, look at the group of the four of them right there.
01:19:55.280
Dude, he would have to run and put a knife forward.
01:20:36.300
They say that, you know, that girl who died in Colorado, her brother killed her.
01:20:53.460
Um, did it end weird after you said that to him?
01:21:04.760
And, and, and we pulled up cause it was just for the video.
01:21:07.720
We didn't want him to see us, but then like he pulled up at the same time and like he did
01:21:11.180
like a double look, like in like, I thought we almost blew it right then and there cause
01:21:15.720
he's like, what the fuck are they doing in a Bronco?
01:21:21.220
What if you were listening to that song when you pulled up?
01:21:27.420
So I think he wanted to keep his cool and not give a, a good reaction.
01:21:36.660
Like he's so, it's hard to believe that he did.
01:21:42.260
I mean, it's hard to believe anyone would kill someone.
01:21:46.420
You're like, did this guy actually kill someone?
01:21:51.180
But no, I, I didn't get that vibe, but I don't know.
01:21:58.740
People, we got some flack for doing him, but not, not that much.
01:22:01.920
Most people liked it, but some people were like, why the fuck would you give him a
01:22:06.340
But I don't really give a shit about that shit.
01:22:08.660
I think Ron Goldman's sister started a podcast.
01:22:10.520
I believe the, the man that got killed with her, with the wife.
01:22:20.620
There was a guy, Ron Goldman, that got killed too.
01:22:30.480
I don't think I could kill, like, I think I could put the knife in somebody.
01:22:38.700
But I think you got to stab them if you're going to do it.
01:22:41.820
Yeah, it's more like Rome, it's like, you know, like Caesar kind of, like, I feel like
01:22:47.160
Like, you'll never even know what it, like, at least if you're stabbing them, you're part
01:22:51.840
I feel like even I'd lean more to, like, like a rear naked choke type shit.
01:22:59.400
But, like, the stabbing is just, like, that's fucked.
01:23:04.120
I don't know if I could do, yeah, you gotta really mean it.
01:23:10.720
Even, like, pushing them off, like, a tall building.
01:23:18.440
Like, it's just kind of like a push, and then you just cut.
01:23:21.020
But, like, stabbings, like, you're kind of, you gotta commit to it the whole way.
01:23:28.000
Yeah, maybe if you did, like, and you fucking pushed him.
01:23:35.820
Or just randomly put something there you're gonna trip on.
01:23:39.440
So, why did somebody put this, uh, why did somebody put this bowling ball right here?
01:23:50.820
So, you're talking about ChatGBT, which, for people who don't know, that's the AI, right,
01:23:55.060
that makes stories out, like, it can make text stories out of anything.
01:24:00.680
Yeah, it's just showing you, like, what is, like, kind of the future of even, like, classwork
01:24:15.240
So, I'll tell you what ChatGBT is, just so you know, because you need to know this.
01:24:19.720
And I don't know what sort of technological revolution this is.
01:24:28.700
So, this AI system, it's a general language processing model, was released about a week
01:24:39.440
You can, it's an AI system, artificial intelligence system.
01:24:41.860
It basically is trained on, well, a massive corpus of spoken and, or of text.
01:24:52.460
So, it's derived its models of the world from the analysis of human speech, essentially.
01:24:57.260
It isn't using real world data yet, but that will be happening certainly within the next
01:25:04.860
So, and ChatGBT analyzes a very large corpus of text, and that corpus is growing all the
01:25:16.700
I went on to it last week, and I said, okay, some of you know, I've written these books,
01:25:21.640
12 Rules for Life, and then Beyond Order, 12 more rules, because, you know, you can't have
01:25:31.620
I said, write me an essay that's a 13th rule for Beyond Order, written in a style that combines
01:25:42.540
That's a pretty difficult, that's pretty difficult to pull off, you know.
01:25:50.300
The intersection of all three, that's impossible.
01:25:53.300
Well, it wrote it in about three seconds, four pages long, and it isn't obvious to me,
01:26:00.000
for better or worse, that I would be able to tell that I didn't write it.
01:26:08.300
And that's pretty impressive, although, you know, maybe not.
01:26:11.560
I mean, just to think that, like, you go put your information, you know.
01:26:20.300
I mean, it might not be great, but you'd have, like, you'd almost have your ghostwriter
01:26:25.440
That's why I'm trying to, like, be successful and make my money in the next, like, five or
01:26:30.640
whatever years, before this shit becomes, like, mainstream.
01:26:33.500
Right, because then, at that point, it feels like there's not even going to be any value
01:26:37.100
No, like, and I feel like, to compete in society, you're going to need to, like, do this type
01:26:48.560
Like, the most successful people are going to, they're going to do this shit.
01:26:52.920
I just don't want to be a part of that shit at all.
01:27:00.300
I think if it helped me sleep, I would probably get it.
01:27:02.240
I mean, the medical benefits are, like, that's pretty crazy.
01:27:09.020
I think he said, like, it can, like, cure, like, Alzheimer's and stuff like that.
01:27:12.180
And, like, I think he even said, like, it can cure, like, paralyze.
01:27:16.720
So, I mean, that, if that's true, that's insane.
01:27:19.200
But I think just the fact of everyone having, like, something in their brain, like, that's
01:27:30.920
Like, are they, like, that thing's probably downloading info.
01:27:35.400
I feel like the government is, like, a shell LLC for, like, whatever bigger, darker fucking
01:27:43.300
I feel like there's just some big lizard licking a nickel somewhere in a fucking bank vault.
01:27:50.420
I think, yeah, people believe, I think, in some of that, like, some, you know, reptilian kings
01:27:55.360
But it starts to feel like something's fucking going on.
01:27:58.960
Sometimes I think that, like, secretly, like, aliens are, like, running the world.
01:28:04.140
And they're, like, I don't know if they're disguised or whatever, but I just feel like
01:28:11.100
Like, I feel like they came here and said, like, we need to live here, but there's, like,
01:28:18.080
And, like, they just taught us how to act like humans.
01:28:21.600
And now they're just kind of controlling us type shit.
01:28:26.360
Because, like, we're smart, but we're not that smart.
01:28:32.640
Like, you know, we kind of think we are, but then it's, like, we look at the news.
01:28:34.980
We all look at the same seven news stories every day.
01:28:37.840
It's all very, it's, we all go to, like, four websites now.
01:28:40.980
Remember when there were so many websites, like, shoesandpussy.net or whatever?
01:28:46.060
And then now it's just, like, you know, ESPN, fucking, you know, Yahoo.
01:28:53.540
But it's, like, it's just, like, there's just ESPN.
01:29:12.340
It's all gotten just so, like, there's not, like, any, like.
01:29:16.320
It's all just gotten down to, like, three or four companies.
01:29:19.960
I sometimes think that we don't see any aliens anymore because aliens, like, they were here a long time.
01:29:24.420
Or, like, they come to Earth and, like, these people are fucking lame.
01:29:29.580
They're still shitting in, like, little, like, a little, like, ornament, you know?
01:29:36.000
I know things that we take for granted or things that we do so normally.
01:29:40.500
Like, imagine if there was, like, another species watching us and they're, like, what the fuck?
01:29:47.620
We observe animals and say, like, oh, it's so interesting how they do that.
01:29:53.100
If there was a more intelligent species, they'd be, like, why the fuck do they do this?
01:29:59.980
They're, like, oh, this guy's bringing leftovers.
01:30:01.560
This guy's driving from the Italian restaurant with half of a fucking veal parmigiana in his backseat.
01:30:11.760
He hates her, but he won't leave her, like, type shit.
01:30:14.800
Or she hates him or she has, like, some buzzer underwear that's, like, touching her puss the whole time.
01:30:21.300
And, like, that's why I think aliens don't even come here anymore.
01:30:24.140
It's because they, like, they know back home, like, that place is a fucking dump.
01:30:27.460
Like, they're, like, it's almost like if you go to, like, you want to go to Toledo, you know?
01:30:31.080
No offense, but, you know, I got tetanus there from just looking, opening my eyes in the city.
01:30:37.400
But it's, like, it's just, like, they're not even coming here.
01:30:41.920
Like, if your shitty alien parents are taking you to fucking Earth on your fucking alien vacation, dude, you're so lame.
01:30:49.920
It's crazy what the, I don't know what's, I don't know what our fucking future is.
01:30:54.920
I feel like it's all going to go to shits before it gets better.
01:31:01.520
I mean, people have lost their sense of, like, American idealism, I think, is kind of gone.
01:31:06.380
You know, most of the, like, smaller cities and stuff kind of struggle.
01:31:09.320
But then there's still a lot of, like, people there that care about each other and stuff.
01:31:12.260
So I think if shit hit the fan, cities would kind of get fucked up first because people in cities are just going to pop each other off and kill each other.
01:31:23.520
Counties and small rural areas, they'll fucking ban together.
01:31:26.440
You know, and they'll have a lot of weapons, you know.
01:31:35.640
They're wanting to fuck each other, but they can't.
01:31:40.180
That's what, because I don't know if you know, but, like, Canadians hate Americans.
01:31:45.320
Like, when I, when I, like, that was the thing before.
01:31:50.080
They think they're, like, arrogant or whatever type shit.
01:31:54.480
I found it cool, like, when I used to go to, like, the southern states first.
01:31:57.820
Like, when I would go to, like, Georgia or, like, even, I don't know.
01:32:01.060
I just feel, people are really nice there, I find, too.
01:32:03.580
Like, the southern states and, like, the real, like, American states.
01:32:14.440
We get stuck in these, like, spaces where we just hear shit out of New York and L.A.
01:32:18.220
where people are just more concerned about, like, they're, you know, they feel like they don't need America anymore.
01:32:30.580
Like, I moved to Nashville a couple years ago, a year and a half ago.
01:32:37.620
Yeah, Tennessee didn't, they didn't budge at all, right?
01:32:39.940
Dude, that shit was wide open during the vaccine.
01:32:44.600
I mean, no, there were people fucking eating COVID, dude.
01:32:48.080
I saw what you said, like, what do we do with our fake vax cards?
01:33:09.180
The thing I hate the most about that COVID was, like, if there was, like, women out there
01:33:12.940
who were looking for love or something, you know, and they're getting old, you know, it's
01:33:17.040
like, it kind of separates a lot of people like that, you know?
01:33:25.280
If they try to do it again, people are going to get shot, I think.
01:33:30.620
I don't know what's going to happen in the next 10 years or some shit.
01:33:36.320
Before you get out of here, man, what is some of y'all's business plans, like, moving forward?
01:33:39.060
Like, so you see this, you have this product, you got, you're working well with these Shahidi
01:33:44.280
You guys have, do you still feel like a creative or do you start to feel like a businessman?
01:33:54.120
I think that's definitely, like, one of the struggles is, like, you got to do the creative
01:33:58.460
shit and you still got to do the business shit, too, right?
01:34:01.020
I enjoy both, but, um, yeah, it definitely, it definitely is tough.
01:34:06.560
Um, I think, yeah, we're just going to try to continue to grow Happy Dad.
01:34:12.700
We're in 16 states, so we're going to be in probably 32 by the end of the year.
01:34:17.340
We're going to launch Canada, which I'm pumped about.
01:34:21.800
Like, it's going to be, that's going to be, like, a dream come true for me.
01:34:25.280
Wow, bro, a lot of freaking beverage in your own country, that's so ill.
01:34:49.960
Dude, we've, we just, we sold, like, 10,000 tickets to New York.
01:34:58.780
I like a small, I would rather keep a smaller venue.
01:35:01.860
Than do, because it just feels a little more intimate.
01:35:06.260
It definitely seems neater, but then the people are so far away, you feel like you don't
01:35:11.460
You know, but yeah, we've got, we've been doing great.
01:35:17.360
We're going to damn, have you been there, Saskatchewan?
01:35:23.760
I used to go to Edmonton and get food poisoning up there all the time.
01:35:27.400
It's fucking, uh, a lot of people just drinking oil and trying to fuck each other.
01:35:33.740
And like, you gotta, I don't want to be racist, but like the, you gotta watch out for the natives
01:35:47.740
And do they like, are they on, they're not on horseback or whatever, like, or?
01:35:51.380
No, they're just kind of, they're just there smoking darts, like having a cigarette and
01:35:55.980
they'll just, they'll fuck you up if you like to look at them wrong and shit.
01:36:02.760
Dude, they should have a little bit of like native versus white.
01:36:08.800
Do something or at least like a small field battle.
01:36:11.780
You know, when I was growing up, we'd go out there to the CWRs out there to the Civil
01:36:15.140
War reenactments and we'd get out there and somebody's daddy would be in it, you know,
01:36:19.340
and there'd always be some fucking chicks out there trying to fucking smash like some
01:36:25.220
But, uh, that was a big thing in the South, you know?
01:36:33.000
I remember we'd go there to have six, 700 people out there reenacting.
01:36:41.500
Somebody's fucking coming out there in the distance drinking Dr. Pepper, bro.
01:36:55.280
And it's kind of a general question you get all the time.
01:36:56.560
But for somebody that's kind of like trying to get into the digital space now, somebody
01:37:00.100
that's looking to like find their way, find their lane.
01:37:03.420
Is there any thoughts you would have kind of for them?
01:37:06.880
I think the new age now is like, you probably know too, but it's all about the clipping shit
01:37:11.560
Like even on, even on your pod, I see your clips all the time, right?
01:37:19.660
So I think, I think the most, the best thing you can do now is to be like shareable.
01:37:26.120
I think, you know, whatever you're doing, just like, how is someone that doesn't know
01:37:32.060
Like what's going to make them want to watch your shit or what's going to make someone want
01:37:44.020
Like you, you know, someone's going to be like, yo, look, this is funny.
01:37:48.580
Like if you look at your piece of content and there's no reason to share it, you're
01:37:54.400
It's not like before there's so many people doing it.
01:38:01.800
You have to find, I think what is your unique thing.
01:38:05.820
So if you have a good editor or if you have a good eye for your own stuff, like I remember
01:38:09.240
when I first went to colleges, I didn't have a full hour of comedy.
01:38:12.520
So I would go and I would show up the day before and I would do like a, uh, cribs, like
01:38:17.280
with like the principal of the school or like the, a fraternity house.
01:38:21.300
And then I would edit and I would interview people on campus and I would edit it that
01:38:25.280
And so then the next day I would do a little bit more and finish the editing.
01:38:28.640
And then, uh, when it came time for the showtime, I had like this 20 minute intro video where
01:38:35.160
it was like cut together, look like a, like a shitty cribs kind of, but it was like the
01:38:38.600
principal, you know, or like the jokes and then like, is that shit still on YouTube?
01:38:46.620
But then I had like something, I had like a 20 minute opener and then I would do 25 minutes
01:38:50.040
of comedy and now, and then I do like 15 Q and a and now I have an hour show a hundred
01:38:54.340
But it was like you, I learned how to do like those things, you know, and like at least no
01:38:58.260
what I was going to be kind of a domain over, you know, and how I like to navigate humor
01:39:04.180
and clips and you could edit stuff together too, to make things funny no matter what.
01:39:08.580
And now I think shit stopped going viral for a bit on YouTube.
01:39:12.280
Like remember when shit used to go crazy viral, like the fucking Charlie bit my finger
01:39:16.980
those types, like, no, but anyone could upload a video on YouTube or whatever.
01:39:24.340
Well, they had one video of a guy making love to a dog in a park, dude, that was up forever.
01:39:35.080
Well, it makes you wonder if we'd ever get back to that, you know, where some guys just
01:39:38.720
staying warm with a fucking St. Bernard and you respect it.
01:39:45.740
I mean, that's a little crazy, but I mean, I mean, that's the, you know, they're going to
01:39:51.860
Dude, I remember the first time I saw a golden retriever, dude, I'd never seen a dog inside someone's

So I'm over at my buddy's, dude, and this fucking dog comes around the corner, right?
01:40:07.120
I mean, it looked like, it kind of looked like, like Suzanne Somers.
01:40:16.860
I mean, it came around and it fucking looked like somebody like loved it or whatever.
01:40:21.260
And I just remember being like, my God, dude, it looked like her.
01:40:31.520
Every dog I've been around was an outdoor dog, you know?
01:40:41.320
Yeah, I think it's really helpful for everybody to kind of learn about what the Nelk Boys is,
01:40:45.640
what the Full Send is, what it's like, kind of just, what your journey's been like, man.
01:40:54.860
I've seen a ton of your shit online, but we got to come see some shows live.
01:41:00.620
I'm supposed to hopefully start doing some stuff with UFC.
01:41:05.220
We're trying to start figuring some stuff out, so.
01:41:08.540
No, it's just, we're still like in the incubator stages.
01:41:11.880
It would just be, yeah, I just like, I just love it so much.
01:41:14.280
Every time I'm there, it's like Christmas, you know?
01:41:17.100
Even like some, what, like some commentary type shit or like, you can't say.
01:41:25.620
Because, God, I'm just so fucking, oh, it just feels so good.
01:41:32.100
It just feels so good when we're there, you know?
01:41:35.820
Kyle Fortgar, thanks so much, bro, for coming in, dude.
01:41:42.440
Now I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:41:53.480
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:41:59.200
I can feel it in my bones, but it's gonna take...
01:42:05.340
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll
01:42:12.800
be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to
01:42:24.520
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.
01:42:33.060
I've been talking about Kite Club for so long, longer than anybody else.
01:42:42.020
Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
01:42:48.000
I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.
01:42:51.040
Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.
01:42:57.800
Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is tell everyone about Kite Club.
