We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:00:10.720
Fast-free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.
00:00:25.260
Wi-Fi available to Airplane members on Equipped Flight.
00:00:34.820
He has a new film called Let's Start a Cult that he both co-wrote and starred in.
00:00:41.820
He's got his own podcast, Stavis World, and he's one of the hottest young comics in America.
00:00:52.160
Always, no one else I'd rather be sitting down with than Mr. Stavros Palkias.
00:00:58.240
Shine on me, and I will find a song I've been singing.
00:01:33.100
I'm trying to think of what it even makes me feel like.
00:02:11.800
And my first thought was, I've worked too hard.
00:02:22.460
And do a lot of people from your culture have good legs, huh?
00:02:28.580
It's a leg, because even the pillars, yeah, it's like, that's a part of it, huh?
00:02:45.400
Because you see a man like that, it's like, oh, this is a structural man.
00:02:54.040
No, you're not like that Building 47 or whatever.
00:03:06.280
Yeah, the one that we can't exactly explain or something.
00:03:08.660
Yeah, some guy's like, oh, it's a great time to just fucking get three blocks over just
00:03:20.220
Wouldn't have happened if it was made out of Hellenic marble.
00:03:55.420
12 Years a Slave, which is like a serious slavery drama that won Oscars for the Lincoln
00:04:01.880
Just a middle-of-the-road Matthew McConaughey entertaining movie.
00:04:22.800
The last two years, it's like, we kind of get how this goes.
00:04:30.580
Yeah, dude, so it's way less, way, way smaller of a budget than those two.
00:04:37.040
Honestly, the movie is, I just love dumbass comedies.
00:04:41.040
Like, the stuff we grew up on, like the Sandler, you know, Spade, Farley, you know, to Will
00:04:46.340
Farrell, to all that stuff that was just like silly as shit.
00:04:49.860
You know, like the first movie I was obsessed with was Billy Madison, right?
00:04:53.760
And just like, goofy, technically a premise, but it's like, would this ever happen in real
00:05:00.000
No, but we just need, it's there to just as like a skeleton for jokes.
00:05:09.000
It was like, I just wanted, you know, I wanted the opportunity to make something that I loved.
00:05:18.140
And comedy movies, I think, are an extension of just like, I'm not trying to make a good ass
00:05:35.400
Trying to get something else I've seen recently.
00:05:39.240
I don't know what's going on with your references.
00:05:42.540
No, Bridges Over Madison County or whatever like that.
00:05:51.080
It's about a, it's a, something happens to somebody, I remember.
00:06:01.800
I remember somebody was trying to do The Life of Jesse, Bridges to Terabithia, and Adolescent
00:06:08.060
changes when he befriends Leslie, the class outside of the children created an imaginary
00:06:11.240
world called Terabithia, which is inhabited by all manner of magical creatures.
00:06:29.280
You're not going to be a better or worse person.
00:06:36.760
Like, yeah, you can, you can make some popcorn.
00:06:40.460
You might want to go back and miss and see if you missed a joke, but you get the movie.
00:06:45.120
The whole point is like the, basically the like bullet point is what if a guy was so
00:06:51.360
annoying, his cult committed suicide without him?
00:06:54.820
Like they left him out of the, left him out of the final ritual.
00:06:58.680
And then he tries to start up his new, his own cult.
00:07:01.180
And that's the like, and so I'm just, I'm that guy.
00:07:05.860
Who's just like, you know, with a heart of gold, classics, classic comedy shit.
00:07:10.060
And I just like, you know, we meet a bunch of funny people.
00:07:18.460
Um, you know, a lot of really funny, uh, just like Wes Haney, who is the, who co-wrote
00:07:25.520
It was basically like me and my friends got a chance to make a movie and I was like, yeah,
00:07:31.000
I'm like, no one, no one lets him, no one lets, uh, no one lets me star in a movie.
00:07:39.360
So yeah, it's nice to have a movie where it sounds like you just can just go look at
00:07:44.160
And the jokes are like, I'm not, I'm not trying to make any commentary on anything.
00:07:51.180
And it's like that it has been, even some of my favorite movies, like towards the end,
00:07:55.100
they all kind of had weird lessons or they just kind of got like even 40 year old virgin.
00:07:59.180
It's weirdly like an allegory for virginity and like saving yourself for me.
00:08:08.760
There is nothing, there is no, there is no subtext.
00:08:13.520
There is no, it's a fat, it's a lovable fat guy getting into hijinks for 89 minutes, not
00:08:22.300
And if you fast forward through the credits, we get that to 87 and a half.
00:08:28.280
Nothing like a thick guy coming in short, you know?
00:08:33.200
So I get the movie and they, we, they need good comedy.
00:08:36.300
It's like, you go to a thing now and it's like, yeah, some stuff, it doesn't even make
00:08:42.780
And then like everybody at the end is kind of like handicapped or something at the end.
00:08:48.720
You know, it's like Elliot gets a rainbow or something.
00:08:53.140
You know, and it's like the guy always has a heart transplant, but his new heart is, um,
00:08:58.540
Like, yeah, it's like a libertarian or something.
00:09:01.280
So now he's like, I'm going to kill myself because I would rather, I would rather die
00:09:06.400
than have a heart that's against public school systems or something.
00:09:10.200
You know, no one will be committing seppuku at the end of this movie for their political
00:09:18.440
That movie, it's a movie where somebody gets our transplant and that heart was a homeschool
00:09:28.740
It's either, it's either, it's like both, it's like, and even independent movies, it's
00:09:34.100
Cause I, you know, I'd love to talk about just more comedy stuff too, but yeah.
00:09:37.940
But this is interesting because it's a new time where someone is making their own film.
00:09:42.680
It's like, I don't know how you feel, but I feel like I hit the jackpot of all jackpots,
00:09:47.860
Like I never thought I'd be fucking podcasting.
00:09:54.240
I never thought I would have to like build my own fan base to just like make a living
00:10:02.320
And, and like, so when you get lucky, what do you do with it?
00:10:05.680
And it's like, I've never been the kind of person that just wants to chase.
00:10:11.280
I want to be able to make the stuff I fucking love.
00:10:14.920
It's like, I think, you know, there's some people who like, we have a chance, like building
00:10:19.300
our own fan bases where it's like, we can make what we like.
00:10:22.880
And instead of trying to desperately get into like a mainstream studio system or, you know,
00:10:30.020
not that I won't make a fucking, you know, so, you know, studio, once you make a movie,
00:10:34.920
But instead of like waiting for years, like, I think, I don't know.
00:10:39.160
I think a bunch of like a generation of comics found out you can go through the internet,
00:10:45.920
And then it's like, what do you want to do with it?
00:10:47.560
And for me, it's like, let me just fucking do, make a fucking movie.
00:10:52.220
Like, no, the way no one, the way no one, it's stupid that I get to like sell out theaters.
00:10:59.440
I get to make movies, but that's what I want to fucking do.
00:11:02.220
And instead of just like being broke and trying to be an actor and all this other shit, it was
00:11:08.800
Hopefully, you know, some of your fans will see it.
00:11:10.460
Like, that's the cool thing about building like a network where it's like, you just hit
00:11:14.460
It's like, I'm not on, I got on NPR because the lady liked my movie, like a lady on the
00:11:19.320
weekend thing liked my movie, but it's like, we don't even have a mainstream way to, to
00:11:26.340
And it would be sick if people just started doing that shit.
00:11:29.300
If you started doing whatever you're passionate about, because you have this fan base and you've
00:11:37.540
Yeah, it was, that was one, something amazing about tires.
00:11:39.580
It was like, you heard jokes on there for the first time.
00:11:44.820
You would probably hear at a very alarming rubber shop.
00:11:54.720
And it's like, no one's saying that that's the only comedy that has to exist.
00:11:59.220
I want to see shit from everybody, but it's like, go make your own shit.
00:12:04.220
So that's why my version of that is just like a goofy ass.
00:12:14.480
By the time this is out, it'll be, you can go rent it.
00:12:25.600
Put in Let's Start a Cult and you can watch a movie.
00:12:45.980
If somebody's like, I can get this or I can get some McNuggets.
00:12:50.200
It's not that they're going to debate between the two.
00:12:53.360
But then they're kind of like, hey, I want both for $14.99.
00:13:07.020
I believe Batman Forever, which was not a good movie.
00:13:25.000
But one loser shattered one of those in the fucking ball pit.
00:13:37.900
And the one after it with Mr. Freeze was even more awesome.
00:13:40.960
They had Joel Schumacher, who was just like the gayest guy of all time.
00:13:45.420
He's a great director, but he made it fun as shit.
00:13:47.920
Like those movies sucked coming off the Tim Burton Batmans because they were like, went
00:13:51.800
from dark and like moody and kind of cool and comic book-y to like truly the campiest.
00:13:57.500
It was like essentially Batman going to like drag brunch.
00:14:00.740
And like people weren't ready for that now, but throw those on now.
00:14:04.960
You'll be like, wow, this is so over the top, but it's fun, dude.
00:14:26.820
And then I saw the one where it was like the two old guys in the cave running around,
00:14:43.980
The one where they're like running around in the same cave over and over again.
00:14:51.740
And the other guy was like, I'm just here, you know?
00:14:59.560
Adam West was absolutely getting pussy in this era.
00:15:20.320
Because, dude, if you look at it, they were, you know, wiener.
00:15:33.940
A wiener is just like a pussy that's reaching for something.
00:15:46.760
This is how little they gave a fuck about the Batman TV show.
00:16:00.300
But Burgess Meredith, who played the penguin in this and also played Mickey and Rocky.
00:16:05.100
I believe him and Adam West were absolute coos hounds.
00:16:13.480
And by that, I mean, I saw one TikTok about it.
00:16:18.400
Well, they didn't even have condoms at this time, did they?
00:16:23.100
They probably had them, but they weren't using them.
00:16:28.900
They probably had like, I bet you like cavemen were like putting their dick in like sheep's
00:16:35.360
like intestines not to have children at a certain point.
00:16:40.860
I think they just figured out condoms pretty quick.
00:16:43.820
Condoms have been used for centuries, but became more popular at different times for
00:16:48.020
Because 18th century, condoms became more well-known and the market grew despite opposition.
00:16:55.480
That was the first time the church was like, this is unnatural.
00:17:01.260
I promise you the church was against them because they got a nut.
00:17:09.900
Nature has to be, because nature wants things to have sex.
00:17:16.860
So I wonder if nature put that in the minds of people.
00:17:23.440
Like mother nature planted that thought into your head.
00:17:37.360
So rabbits and plants and shit could fuck and bring back, you know, because we're fucking
00:17:43.400
polluting, especially if this is the 18th century.
00:17:45.940
Probably mother nature, probably she, the industrial revolution happens.
00:17:53.160
You got to get, we got to get them out of here.
00:17:54.580
We got to get them nutting inside of plastic bags inside of pussies instead of free and
00:18:01.660
So yeah, it started to become sort of this, um, uh, look at this.
00:18:05.680
It was like blue blockers for pussy kind of, or for, for sex, you know, 19th century.
00:18:13.160
We're going to say despite opposition, they were sold in pubs, theaters, and barbershops.
00:18:17.900
When the lineup's so crispy, you know, you're going to get pussy.
00:18:21.600
You're like, now this, that's, that's a good marketing ploy.
00:18:32.640
And then you get a bad cut and the guy's like, ah, you're not going to, we'll save this.
00:18:38.860
And, uh, by the way, wash it out and tie it back up when you're done.
00:18:57.820
We'll go half on, go on half on a condom with your boy.
00:19:04.720
I, you don't, I don't want the first nut of the day going in this thing.
00:19:07.360
We need the second, the weaker one goes in this one.
00:19:11.320
We got to, we got to, uh, we got to keep the foundation intact on this thing, dude.
00:19:17.080
The penis thing can't handle, it can only handle about seven PSI.
00:19:20.900
It's not rated for the first nut of the day loads.
00:19:27.740
In the 19th century, it says rubber condoms became popular.
00:19:31.340
Rubber condom use was mainly limited to the upper class due to a lack of sexual education.
00:19:40.140
Like these people can barely, you know, if this guy's making shoes all day.
00:19:46.780
Or would cobbling be like a hierarchy job, you think?
00:19:50.720
Oh, you like, uh, you mean, you mean they're in the shoe factory.
00:19:53.760
The cobbler is kind of a, uh, an artisan, a bespoke.
00:19:59.120
He's probably somewhere in between the two 19th century.
00:20:04.160
You still got comblers and shoe factory workers.
00:20:09.520
I would say where it's like the education keeps them not understanding how useful is.
00:20:13.300
So the working class has kids, working class women have to have kids earlier.
00:20:18.880
They don't get to fucking, you know, I mean, it's a classic thing.
00:20:21.900
The working class always gets tricked in this fucking, it, in all of human history.
00:20:34.040
The, the, the factory workers, they don't know any better.
00:20:37.340
But then they're just letting them have sex and make more factory workers, which seems
00:20:42.180
Well, that's good for, again, the upper classes.
00:20:49.820
And so if the, if, if people have more kids, it keeps them in poverty because then they have
00:20:54.620
Yep, yep, yep, and they get more workers and then wages go lower.
00:21:03.240
Condoms in 1950s and 1960s, condoms became a popular birth control method with 42% of Americans
00:21:08.800
of reproductive age using them for birth control between 1955 and 65.
00:21:13.840
So that's about when we're, to bring it full circle, that's when Batman, I believe the first
00:21:21.680
They probably had condoms, but those guys look like raw doggers to me.
00:21:25.060
Those guys, I think Adam West, can we do a little research on Adam West's sexual history?
00:21:31.360
I think Adam West, I think Adam West and Burgess Meredith, they're old school guys.
00:21:35.220
They're not putting on condoms unless absolutely necessary.
00:21:40.700
Adam West, his stories of romantic conquests, including the infamous night with eight women.
00:21:49.300
While some might view West's candid revelations with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief,
00:21:53.560
they all start for a glimpse into the complexities of living under the spotlight.
00:22:14.080
Mayor, give me the woman with the largest tits in Gotham ASAP.
00:22:22.000
He just shines that bat light just across into his neighbor's apartment.
00:22:26.500
He has a bat light, but he also has a dick light.
00:22:38.680
The crazy part was when they would fuck, like, they had to run like this or something.
00:22:48.580
They'd pretend to go up a wall, and they literally just put the camera up sideways.
00:22:55.060
But, you know, we just need more stuff that's entertainment.
00:22:59.540
And no, we did not have as much sex on the, I don't think.
00:23:12.080
I wrote the movie, like I said, with my friends.
00:23:17.180
I used to have acting class, and I would just, like, we'd have to do scenes and stuff,
00:23:20.540
and I would always bring a scene where there's, like, possible making out.
00:23:25.240
And sometimes it would just be, like, two people are walking, and they're in an argument,
00:23:35.980
Janet presses her tits against Mark vigorously.
00:23:42.640
They're like, you know, don't put, don't add actions, please.
00:23:48.660
I think it should be clear it's a vigorous tit press.
00:24:04.240
I mean, without hiding your phone on a cabinet across the room?
00:24:09.580
Without being like, oh, yeah, I don't know why that teddy bear is blinking red.
00:24:15.160
I'm going to go turn it off, and then you just put a fucking piece of black masking tape over it.
00:24:28.560
So, yeah, there is a sex scene, and I don't want to spoil too much, but it is a wild one.
00:24:32.400
And I will say, there was an intimacy coordinator, and that's the person I felt bad for the most.
00:24:39.540
Because this person's job is, if you're ahead of a nude scene, and so if you're nude, some lady has to put a little, like, a rubber triangle around your dick and balls.
00:24:51.280
Like one of those bibs you get at a crab joint?
00:24:54.020
It has a lobster with a fork and a knife in its claws printed on it.
00:24:59.480
It is honestly not that far off from that, though.
00:25:12.920
Yeah, I mean, it sucked, and it's like, you know-
00:25:21.160
You know, that's, you know, and so I'm definitely nude, and one, and a woman has to tape, literally tape.
00:25:29.480
Tape my dick and balls to this fucking thing, because you want to look naked, but you don't want, if, you know, you don't want people to have to look at my dick the whole day.
00:25:37.920
So, yeah, you want to put, like, a plastic sheet over it.
00:25:40.020
But this woman's job, anytime that thing, like, slipped, she had to just, like, get in there, and just, this poor lady, man.
00:25:50.020
And she's just, like, cutting edge with it, huh?
00:25:52.020
And she's, it's like the way, like, you know, they would tape up your ankles at a high school football game.
00:26:11.280
So there's a lot of little layers in the film, huh?
00:26:13.200
Yeah, there's a lot of, you know, anything, again, anything for a laugh, and I wanted, you might never get a chance to make a movie again, so it's like, let's fucking, let's leave it all out there, you know what I mean?
00:26:24.180
And so, and the way there is always, I love, again, I used to love when there was over-the-top sex scenes in those movies we're talking about, so I was like, let's put one of those, and there's some physical, other physical stuff.
00:26:40.380
Next time, I'm going to fucking spend a year learning how to do a backflip.
00:27:02.160
One of my dear friends, that's the classic racist thing to say, my best friend is Albanian, which is actually true in my case, but it's-
00:27:19.120
So it started at like 200K, and we did it with, I want to say, you know, Dark Sky Films.
00:27:27.680
They've done a lot of cool shit, a lot of cool horror movies and stuff, but lower budget stuff.
00:27:32.420
And they were just fucking awesome to work with.
00:27:34.960
They just saw a short that we did, and they thought we were going to write like a one location, because the short takes place in one place.
00:27:41.820
But we were like, if you're going to let us make a movie, we're going to fucking, there's going to be wild shit in it.
00:27:46.540
And so we pretty much pushed it to the amount, because it's such a weird, you also learn so much about this kind of shit, where it's like, if you go over-
00:28:00.180
Like, one of the things I learned is that like, you can't really go over a certain budget, because then everything becomes more expensive.
00:28:06.160
And you have to like, you have to get like more, just like for, you know, union reasons, you have to get more people involved.
00:28:12.640
It becomes like a harder job, whereas like, the lower budget you make a movie, they kind of allow you to like, a lot of people can do different jobs.
00:28:20.000
You can, you know, obviously you have to follow certain rules, and you can't overwork people.
00:28:23.160
But there was basically like a limit where they're like, look, if you spend any more than this, we have to pay all the actors more.
00:28:31.540
And, you know, we pretty much lost, I mean, I lost money.
00:28:43.540
And like, and I'll probably lose money just like traveling to promote it and stuff like that.
00:28:53.160
And so, but yeah, you just learn a bunch of, you know, and you also think like, you think a movie's going to be like this fucking actors fucking talking about each scene and shit like that.
00:29:04.020
And they're like, dude, we have fucking 12 minutes to get this.
00:29:07.480
And oh, it's actually the most crucial scene in the movie.
00:29:17.640
We're putting the dog down unless you nail this scene.
00:29:25.620
Either nail the scene or the fucking shih tzu gets it.
00:29:37.140
Do you think you'd be able to make your money back?
00:29:41.280
We had a release in theaters just because I just think it's important to see.
00:29:49.160
It's this, you know, like we had Kevin Smith on and he's done this.
00:29:52.840
But now it's certainly that there are creators that have their own world and they want to make
00:29:59.320
a film sometimes, you know, like me and Spade wrote a movie and we have a chance to do it.
00:30:07.420
And like nobody in Hollywood wants to finance or anything, but it's cool to see people just
00:30:20.340
And it's, um, and it's, yeah, what you want to do.
00:30:23.340
Nobody can kind of tell you what's supposed to be on the script.
00:30:27.860
And for me, I think that's so much, that's so much cooler.
00:30:30.980
And you get to actually be an artist about it, not to fucking suck my own dick.
00:30:34.700
It's a movie about, you know, a fat guy and my, you see my nuts in it.
00:30:43.100
They didn't let me show my real nuts, which is a big problem for me.
00:30:46.740
Well, how much is the nuts looked little and I have pretty nice nuts foundation.
00:30:52.860
Truly the dick, the dick is more of an ornamental piece.
00:31:37.060
They took a little ankle bone and they're like, look, we'll do our best.
00:32:07.660
It'll fucking bat your eyes out of your face while you're resting.
00:32:12.620
It'll keep nudging you until you give it a little attention.
00:32:14.740
It'll beat a jingle bell to death on your Christmas tree.
00:32:20.200
But yeah, but I didn't get to show my real nuts, which is a prop.
00:32:23.360
But again, these are the artistic sacrifices we have to make sometimes to get our movie made.
00:32:42.960
Are you going to have big back tires on a fucking swimmer?
00:33:09.300
Pound for pound, I think I have pretty nice nuts.
00:33:15.660
We're talking about what my body should be on the.
00:33:18.300
Because nuts, that's a big disadvantage for the fat man.
00:33:43.620
No, if your dick got bigger the fatter you are, I would be 800 pounds.
00:33:48.540
You would have like feeders trying to get dicks as big as possible.
00:34:11.840
Something chocolatey that knocks out bad breath.
00:34:24.080
And yeah, I think it's, you know, it's cool to support, you know, it's obviously my movie.
00:34:28.440
I believe in it a lot, but it's like anytime creative people that you like make shit outside
00:34:34.560
of a system, I think it's kind of important to go support that shit.
00:34:40.520
And also some movies that are billion dollar movies are horrible.
00:34:44.460
There was one Ryan Gosling with and my mom and I went and saw it.
00:35:08.180
After a while, you're like, where's all the money they spent on set who you can't even
00:35:13.440
So what starts to happen for me, I noticed in movies is they shoot things so tight nowadays,
00:35:20.880
And your brain, there's no, like your imagination, if there's more going on, your imagination
00:35:29.660
So your imagination is interested in what's going on.
00:35:32.760
But if there's nothing to even really think about, it's so dumbed down.
00:35:39.140
You're not, you're just kind of like, you just start to lose interest because I think
00:35:43.140
there's a part of you that's not working, you know?
00:35:45.320
It's like when they shoot comedies now, it's like they shoot everything so tight and it's just
00:35:48.280
about, you don't get, you don't see people's body language stuff.
00:35:52.080
They just, I feel like they miss out on a lot of things just because they think we need
00:35:58.740
Well, I think that is another thing that I learned about movies which I didn't think
00:36:06.040
You think it's about your jokes and especially being a comic, you're like, it's all about
00:36:10.240
And you don't think about like, it's a visual medium.
00:36:12.800
It's like a bunch of interesting pictures strung together.
00:36:17.640
And it was interesting to like, like talk to our cinematographer and a scene that I thought
00:36:22.400
was like pretty straightforward, just two people talking kind of where you're describing just
00:36:30.060
Why don't we make it a little more interesting?
00:36:31.420
And like, that was a fucking sick part of it to like, yeah, cause you don't think about
00:36:36.060
I just think about the jokes and I just think about my words getting laughs.
00:36:39.160
And then it's cool to watch a movie and be like, oh, you just do something with your
00:36:44.740
And you just fucking, you run funny and that's a laugh.
00:36:49.440
Again, I love comedy so much and I'm just trying to figure out every way to be funny.
00:36:53.820
And I think like, yeah, what you're saying of like making it interesting, having the visuals
00:37:00.320
That's a huge, a huge, again, it's a cool learning experience.
00:37:03.900
And that's what I, I don't know if you feel this way, but it's like, that's the nice
00:37:08.240
thing about, about like learning you shit is just how can we be funny?
00:37:13.200
And like the, the time I felt the most engaged in my life was like when I was an open mic
00:37:18.660
or learning how to do comedy and it's cool to get the chance to make a movie and like,
00:37:22.900
feel like, I don't know, Dick, I'm a fucking dumb as shit.
00:37:26.520
Like, let's figure out how to, how to make all this stuff.
00:37:35.300
I had fucking, I had a, you know, yesterday, bro, yesterday, dude, I'll never.
00:37:45.960
You know, I've, sometime I put on, uh, them nighttime underpants.
00:38:02.180
I like them, the male negligees they got for you, them underpants because they smooth.
00:38:10.220
God, you can't even believe you're feeling yourself when you got them TJs on, baby.
00:38:22.660
What I love about them is the waistband isn't super tight on them.
00:38:25.760
Some underpants, you get them the waistband so tight.
00:38:28.560
So I have one sip of water and then I got to go pee pee.

00:40:31.060
You have an annual calendar due, which is pretty crazy.
00:40:59.900
Yeah, I'm on fucking Mount Everest right there.
00:41:05.640
Some of it is the work of my brilliant producer, Benjamin Buttcheeks.
00:41:12.020
Benny Buttcheeks, Ben O'Brien, who also directed my special.
00:41:24.920
Now, if you zoom in on those, there's a lot of fun in the backgrounds.
00:41:49.720
I've been, I, uh, I've been doing a nude, this was the first thing that was successful
00:41:55.320
Before I had anything going on, I would, I sold a nude calendar when I was like, basically
00:42:03.420
And dude, this was the first thing that ever made me money.
00:42:05.720
I've been doing a calendar for legitimately, probably, I think nine years.
00:42:13.760
I used to sell them out of my fucking Honda Civic.
00:42:16.160
And now it's like, and now it makes a shit ton of money.
00:42:18.580
But I would make like a couple, like back in the day, I would make a couple thousand
00:42:30.900
Well, that's why, I mean, Bobby was the man and he knew me and I was like, then, and
00:42:35.720
And I also would just like, I would just fucking sell it on Instagram and like mail it personally
00:42:40.940
Like I had no, just like sell it out of the back of my fucking trunk at like, I would
00:42:46.500
be headlining shitty little fucking, you know, like a restaurant in Frederick, Maryland.
00:42:51.900
Oh, it'd just be 12 Polaroids of your cock or whatever.
00:42:55.660
And you just wrote a different month on each one.
00:42:58.700
You're like, but what if you only had 11 Polaroids?
00:43:00.700
It's like January, February, spring, June, July, August.
00:43:11.240
Cause I was wondering if there should be more, I mean, you do a great job, right?
00:43:15.360
But would there ever be the possibility to creating something around the idea of getting
00:43:26.480
I've never considered, I did think at one point to get, to make it like a,
00:43:30.700
a collaborative calendar where every month there's like a, a guest that's a different
00:43:35.620
type of person, you know, like maybe men, maybe women, some non-binary motherfuckers,
00:44:10.280
Now, I'm not going to go into the obesity metrics right now.
00:44:13.340
We're just going to keep it, we're just going to keep it just on height.
00:44:19.560
I'm going to take my wins where I can get them, brother.
00:44:25.280
Some people say fat, some people say foundational.
00:44:35.120
Just get like, you could get a lot of union workers, sure, I think.
00:44:43.620
Dude, grapes will, that'll fucking, that'll Greek out any union worker.
00:44:49.100
I think you show them a little, you know, any of the most hard-edged union worker, you show
00:44:53.780
them a little bit of the forbidden fruit of what it can be like to be a fat, you know,
00:45:06.000
That's what we should, that's what we should figure out here.
00:45:08.200
We should set up a situation where it's like, look, we got DMs coming in.
00:45:12.060
We're not going to be able to fuck everybody who wants to fuck us.
00:45:14.360
We don't want to fuck everybody who wants to fuck us, right?
00:45:17.940
I'm saying both of us, I feel like, have, I'm sure you're, I don't check my DMs too much.
00:45:27.260
Young ladies that want to, you know, are attracted to a style of guys.
00:45:34.800
We should be able to find, in my case, Rubenesque, you know, union workers.
00:45:40.240
In your case, I don't, you know, I don't know exactly know.
00:45:42.940
Guys that run rehabs or, you know, guys that run rehabs or, I don't know exactly.
00:45:48.500
I've been offered a couple free 30-day stays, I'll tell you that.
00:45:52.520
But, you know, little mullet guys, you know what I mean?
00:46:01.880
Yeah, they don't do any farming themselves, but they got the same zip code.
00:46:05.740
They got farmland zip code, but they don't own a tractor.
00:46:09.080
Oh, but they'll sit on their porch and look at the other guy's place and be like, oh, look
00:46:18.720
We should be able to hand them off some of the DMs.
00:46:27.540
Donate a DM, almost like create love connections, you know?
00:46:30.920
Oh, I would love to see a dating site if you would put one together.
00:46:40.560
You host a dating show and then you find love somehow.
00:46:44.860
Yeah, I remember you saying one time about like one of the reasons that you got on a
00:46:54.040
Do you feel like, like, what's that evolved like a little bit?
00:46:58.800
And what's the dangers also of having sex in some places, some regions of the country?
00:47:07.280
I'm just saying, if you're ever in the bus belt, you know?
00:47:12.580
Well, you can't let it fly like Adam West used to.
00:47:17.800
I guess the dangers of the bus, you don't want to get stuck in the bus belt.
00:47:21.600
You can have a nice visit, but you don't want to be a father that has to check in court
00:47:29.600
Especially if it's a layover to get to your child.
00:47:32.800
How many children lose out on a father because there's a layover?
00:47:37.520
Because JetBlue doesn't want to fucking fly direct to Akron.
00:47:54.080
But yeah, what are the side effects now as you see that?
00:47:56.120
You've been out in the world over there, you know.
00:48:04.700
Literal glazing, not the metaphorical, like sort of pumping somebody up.
00:48:15.380
Yeah, filling the, you know, doing the manicotti or whatever.
00:48:30.800
But yeah, and what does it look like over time, do you feel like?
00:48:39.120
I mean, that's something I'm facing kind of, I don't know if it's head on.
00:48:46.060
There's a couple things remaining in my life that I feel like I need to conquer, and that's
00:48:52.400
Like, I have, I took a lot of time off and I lost some weight this year.
00:48:57.080
But in the month that I've been shooting tires, promoting the movie, doing stand-up again,
00:49:05.340
Because you look more organized, your body does.
00:49:10.120
It was like when you go, remember when you just, that show where they would open up random
00:49:18.000
Once the shirt comes off, you don't know what you're going to get.
00:49:22.200
Now you open up a storage unit, at least it's got some rusty shelves that all the, all the,
00:49:35.220
I've been working out and so I still am lifting weights and stuff and I feel better.
00:49:38.900
I literally city biked over here from, from Queens.
00:49:42.900
Because you were a little wet when you got here.
00:49:45.640
I was, I was fucking city biking, listening to sexy red, you know, the insects that we
00:49:52.180
Nothing like listening to bad bitches when you're working out in my experience, because
00:49:56.560
it puts me in that, in that headspace, you know, of that, like, you know, there's something
00:50:01.980
a little more, there's something a little more, um, you know, sure.
00:50:08.580
Honestly, the one about the, uh, the gentleman being outside.
00:50:12.820
I don't remember which, uh, I don't remember which one it is.
00:50:15.020
It's, it's sort of like, uh, you know, uh, an anthem for, for the gals to get ready.
00:50:23.040
It's basically a song about, Hey, gals, uh, you know, look real hot.
00:50:29.660
And even though I don't want to fuck the guys, I could gender flip that and be like,
00:50:41.440
Cause I'll go in the bathroom sometimes at a bar and there'll be guys in there and I'll
00:50:53.320
And now that I think of it, you're kind of fucking the vibes up.
00:51:01.120
Both the ratio and the vibes are being fucked up by you.
00:51:05.960
I'm more like a, like a, you pissies S grant when I'm in there.
00:51:26.660
I would love to, I would love to do some physical comedy, but I would also love to bring one
00:51:31.520
of my friends to his senses when he's having a psychotic break with a nice, get yourself
00:51:45.840
You didn't have to send someone to a fucking mental institution.
00:51:48.400
You fucking popped them once in a public street.
00:52:05.180
There wasn't a lot of accurate reporting back then.
00:52:14.820
It was about six months, but yeah, I didn't tour from February until I had like one date.
00:52:37.860
I would fucking go to, I would go to like fucking the supermarket and just see what was on.
00:52:44.480
I had like, I've never heard somebody say, I'll go on long walks.
00:52:55.260
I'm pulling up to a fucking Safeway and hitting, I'm hitting all the aisles at the grocery store.
00:52:59.740
It's like, oh, what do you mean there's not a mile marker by the graham crackers?
00:53:03.200
It's the way they have old people walk through malls.
00:53:06.220
They have fat people walk through grocery stores.
00:53:14.620
You get a, you get a fucking thing, a whole halo top.
00:53:17.800
No, I would, I would fucking walk by the water and ball.
00:53:23.020
I would buy like one piece of meat, grill it up, eat it with some veggies.
00:53:30.380
But I also love, that's the other thing is like, and I did stand.
00:53:34.980
But I think the, the, the lesson is to not do three things at once.
00:53:40.760
So I think like next year when I tour, I'm not doing anything else.
00:53:43.520
Like right now I made the mistake of going from nothing to tires, the movie coming out.
00:53:49.420
Um, uh, my back to my standup, back to my podcast.
00:53:55.520
I think actually probably if it comes out next week, it'll be then.
00:53:58.040
But the dream boat tour, I'm doing a big all across, like on the water.
00:54:05.560
I should have chartered a sailboat, but no, it's more of a metaphor, metaphorically.
00:54:11.480
Can you imagine fucking chartering a sailboat to go to your shows?
00:54:22.660
The horn of Africa, the horn of, yeah, he got caught.
00:54:26.280
The gales, the gales of November came early and caught him.
00:54:46.280
Some people say, some people say that the Greeks are the blacks of Europe.
00:55:14.420
And you'll, you'll hear the door will open and you'll hear somebody yelling.
00:55:19.040
Are you talking about your internal monologue, Theo?
00:55:22.420
Are you talking about every time you see a Greek person?
00:55:28.220
There is a lot of people call them black olives.
00:55:35.440
There's a lot of conversation about black olives out there.
00:55:40.580
Black people are the cool, they're the culture.
00:55:42.860
They're the culture drivers of America without question.
00:55:45.920
In some ways, I guess that's, you know, maybe ancient Greece.
00:55:59.360
The same way music's been taking from black people forever.
00:56:02.560
Everyone's kind of been taking our shit between philosophy and democracy.
00:56:42.600
Like I said, you know, I had a joke in my special where if you think of it, really, I think Greeks are probably the most light-skinned Arabs.
00:57:01.980
But I think people, British people loved England, or England loved ancient Greece so much that they were like, we got to make them white.
00:57:10.640
Because then white people were, you know what I mean?
00:57:14.560
When in reality, I think we're probably light-skinned Arabs.
00:57:35.120
Grapes is a very Middle Eastern food, isn't it?
00:57:41.340
And me personally, I like, I like that kind of, that kind of, that style of woman as
00:57:48.840
Anywhere from like, you know, you go Spain to the Middle East kind of vibe.
00:57:52.620
I met a beautiful Greek girl one time in Florida.
00:57:56.120
And got popped a couple of wiener pills or something.
00:57:58.140
This is early when the gas stations just had them.
00:58:07.220
This was like, I think these were healthy dose or something.
00:58:11.340
Or the last captain, I think one of them was called.
00:58:16.200
It was like, these were hopeful ones, you know?
00:58:23.540
And then I was like trying to make out this girl and my nose started bleeding.
00:58:35.780
She's something about a curly-haired woman, dude.
00:58:39.480
Yeah, you know, they're crazy if their hair had to cut.
00:58:45.200
You would have been a great 17th century doctor.
00:59:12.980
But they look at, it's like a lie detector test or whatever.
00:59:22.100
Bro, I took most of my life because I just had so much anxiety.
00:59:27.440
I'm lucky that I only caught the tail end of the gas station era.
00:59:36.900
But I also want, in between one time I convinced, I had an old Italian doctor.
00:59:41.780
And I convinced him I had some other, I read that like, if you have some kind of prostate
00:59:46.940
issue, you can also take Cialis to like relieve that.
00:59:50.920
I just kind of read it as like, I was doing my research.
00:59:53.420
And I was like, dude, I think my fucking prostate's fucked up.
01:00:02.000
Yeah, and he was like, and he had to put his finger up my ass.
01:00:09.040
But then he was like, okay, I give you the cup.
01:00:12.800
He knew what I wanted, which is also like, why did you have to put your finger up my ass?
01:00:19.160
But I guess he just was hoping I was onto something.
01:00:22.360
And then he was like, listen, I give you this and no more.
01:00:25.940
But he was like, he knew I was just, I was like 20.
01:00:36.680
And dude, those were like, that was my holy grail.
01:00:43.600
When those sample Cialis and stuff hit the streets, they were breaking people's windows
01:00:48.940
Dude, I went, when I first went to college, I went and lived with my buddy's dad.
01:01:01.640
And we would take turns like sleeping on the couch with a bed, right?
01:01:06.920
And the reason I did was because he got a Boner Appeal subscriptions, right?
01:01:21.820
Because you can kind of like the third day and pull one.
01:01:47.180
We had one can of oil and we made it last for 64 days.
01:02:08.980
How long were you living with your friend's father?
01:02:22.120
The bedroom was a loft and there was a living room.
01:02:30.640
Every now and then he'd have a chick stare over and I'd go in there and play.
01:02:41.840
That's the song you would play while the guy was getting pussy.
01:02:46.320
It's about his fucking son falling out of a window.
01:03:08.160
So it's your friend's dad who's giving you shelter is getting pussy with one of his eight
01:03:15.600
Viagras and he has to battle that Viagra's up against that old man's LED and the saddest
01:03:22.720
song, one of the saddest songs of the 90s, a poor rendition, by the way.
01:03:43.520
But I would go in there and one time after they would request me to come back.
01:03:51.400
You were the fucking, you were the music for them fucking.
01:03:56.740
Well, I had usually post-coital that would bring me in.
01:03:59.660
And I also then eventually played Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
01:04:32.420
And I was having so much sexual issues and shit.
01:04:47.260
That's a very interesting living room, like a roommate dynamic.
01:04:53.060
His son had an eclipse because this dude was struggling.
01:04:57.320
A Mitsubishi eclipse, but it wouldn't turn off, right?
01:05:15.480
We'd keep like extra cans of gas at the fucking parking space.
01:05:25.240
It was a green one, and it had good rims on it, too.
01:05:34.200
I would go with that one to the right of the horizontal one.
01:05:44.240
Not as nice as that, but it's something like that.
01:05:47.380
But that bitch, we would keep a couple cans of gas, because it got great mileage.
01:05:54.660
I don't know how good the mileage is if you have to keep the gas just to keep it running.
01:06:08.140
You could park in a weird spot and be like, oh, the guy's just coming and going.
01:06:20.900
But it was kind of nice right when you got to it, got right in.
01:06:26.120
You don't have the fucking, that hassle of doing this.
01:06:42.560
Yeah, it's kind of like, yeah, but that's my chauffeur.
01:06:55.900
I think it's like, there's a lot of reverse psychology there, you know?
01:07:26.200
He's a vodka, orange juice guy in the morning even.
01:07:42.000
I end up with my son's adult friend in the divorce.
01:07:47.780
I got Theo playing fucking Tears of Heaven while I'm trying to keep a heart on.
01:07:55.400
And meanwhile, you can barely hear the song because there's a Mitsubishi eclipse.
01:08:02.600
The fumes are coming up through the underground garage.
01:08:16.760
That was probably one of my craziest living situations.
01:08:20.200
I slept in my buddy's bed for probably seven months out in Los Angeles when I first got
01:08:26.840
I lived in this little cupboard that was in a living room.
01:08:32.060
And it was like three feet high, four feet wide.
01:08:39.020
But it was long and it was like probably eight feet deep.
01:08:44.800
Get in there like a bird, little birdhouse or whatever.
01:08:48.100
And sometimes I come out right on the hour, you know?
01:08:56.440
I slept on my buddy's floor for $150 in college in a sleeping bag.
01:08:59.980
And I'd fucking yell at him, complain about shit.
01:09:07.620
I did to say, I similarly, I convinced my friends to give me a shitty room in their
01:09:17.700
They were just like, I was literally living on the, my go-to meal was beans and eggs.
01:09:23.080
On one, I would bake them and put them on one sheet.
01:09:25.800
And that way, I could just use the sheet as my plate.
01:09:30.860
I just, after I'm done eating the beans and eggs.
01:09:34.300
Directly into the washing machine with the condoms from the 18th century.
01:09:53.800

There are some things in life that are okay to be a total crapshoot, like trying a new type
01:11:16.900
of milk in your coffee or maybe trying a pasta sauce that you're not familiar with, but finding

01:12:46.180
Oh, I saw, did you see that Mark Wahlberg restaurant?
01:12:56.100
Mark Wahlberg's new restaurant in Las Vegas burns down opening day.
01:13:00.340
Mark Wahlberg was excited about today because he's supposed to open up his new restaurant,
01:13:09.080
This is Town Square, and it's obviously fully involved with fire here, and we have gotten
01:13:14.380
a ton of emails to this station inviting the cameras out because Mark Wahlberg was going
01:13:23.540
They were going to get the oversized scissors out and welcome everyone in for the grand opening.
01:13:31.020
You think that's just a plate of fajitas that was sizzling too much?
01:13:41.340
Do we know it's not just a really intense fajita?
01:13:49.200
Yeah, go back and show that window right there.
01:13:53.000
Like, and they spray that flavor on it, smoke or whatever.
01:14:03.280
We do a saganaki, Greek people, the cheese you set on fire.
01:14:08.920
I don't think we should draw conclusions right away.
01:14:24.340
Yeah, if you're just a regular person, like, I'm going to Fletcher.
01:14:31.780
You know, he had an alcohol, but then he said he didn't drink, and then he came out with
01:14:39.400
I think it was just when, like, celebrities were coming out with tequilas.
01:14:43.520
Yeah, like when George Clooney came out with one.
01:14:47.180
It's like probably 12.30 or something, you know, a.m.
01:14:50.480
I'm just sitting on my computer in the lobby, dude, hoping to meet my wife or whatever.
01:15:10.980
After shows, you don't want to go to, like, bars and shit.
01:15:13.200
Yeah, it's like you go to a bar, you're going to see a lot of people in the show.
01:15:16.800
And then if I don't drink, it's hard to be there.
01:15:18.660
So it's like, you don't, there's nowhere usually to go.
01:15:23.560
So then you can go to, like, a gas station, sometimes ice cream, or your hotel.
01:15:29.860
But I'm sitting there, and I feel something on my neck right here, and it's fucking Mark Wahlberg,
01:15:35.200
He's like, caught you slipping, you know, or however he, you know.
01:15:39.920
You have failed the keep it on you challenge, or caught lacking challenge.
01:15:46.020
You failed the caught lacking challenge by Mark Wahlberg.
01:15:49.220
I was like, look at this fucking boondock saint out here.
01:15:56.500
But he does embody the spirit of the boondock saints.
01:16:02.840
But I said that, and then he invited me the next day to his tequila opening.
01:16:09.820
He seems nice, but it's also like that level of fame where people start to go insane in
01:16:17.080
Like, a guy, like, it doesn't seem sinister, but it's insane to wake up at three in the
01:16:30.320
I mean, I know, you know, whatever this, I don't know if you, yeah, 2.30.
01:16:46.840
Post-workout meal, only two hours after breakfast.
01:16:50.900
Shower, he gets an hour and a half for showering.
01:16:56.240
Hey, dude, I am definitely taking some sad showers.
01:17:01.260
Yeah, but that's not when you're fucking, when you're a regimented, like, planning an
01:17:08.920
You're so fucked up that you take an hour and a half shower.
01:17:13.260
I'm not judging, but that's when I'm hung over as fuck, and I'm like, should I just fucking
01:17:20.540
Like, that's like, you're spending 45 minutes convincing yourself not to take pills.
01:17:28.180
They're not thinking about the Lord and my fucking bicep curls.
01:17:34.580
Maybe if I'm in the shower, I won't purchase a prostitute.
01:17:40.640
Maybe if my hands are wet, I can't fucking use my phone, so I won't fucking buy pussy and
01:17:51.160
That shower's not reflecting on your 3.15 a.m. breakfast.
01:17:57.100
And look, we're cross-promoting our own lives here with yours, Mark.
01:18:04.700
This is about, we're putting a little of the personal into this riff.
01:18:08.500
But you open a restaurant, dude, opening day and that thing cooked.
01:18:19.400
But that, you know, I think, I'm trying to think of anything good burnt down by us when
01:18:26.820
I only have hate crimes in my neighborhood, which are not fun to talk about.
01:18:31.160
Just idiots that didn't understand that Indian people weren't.
01:18:35.240
Like after 9-11, some fucking idiot in Baltimore.
01:18:40.320
They just burnt, just a guy, a Sikh guy who wore a turban.
01:18:43.460
He's like, he's Osama bin Laden, so I'm going to fucking burn down his fucking mini-mart.
01:18:48.180
You're like, that's fucking, that guy's a librarian.
01:18:52.220
That guy runs a 7-11 library in the middle of it.
01:18:55.360
Yeah, literally, he was like a fucking nice guy.
01:18:58.340
I just went to a nice Indian restaurant here the other day called Bungalow.
01:19:21.060
It was just fascinating to like eat Indian food, learn.
01:19:25.140
Like it's just about some of the energy and why they have certain things.
01:19:31.480
And he said a lot of Indian people don't go out to dinner because a lot of them cook at home.
01:19:36.160
And they always want, they always believe their cooking is better than other places.
01:20:26.320
I was in London and I had Indian food and it was so incredible.
01:20:30.860
Yeah, well, you know, that's the one upside to the fucking, the British Empire.
01:20:36.900
If they fucked up India, the least I can do is go enjoy a nice meal as a result.
01:21:13.920
It's like, you go to India to be the first Indian sumo wrestler.
01:21:29.380
I get such a tan that someone mistakes me for an Indian.
01:21:34.380
Signs me up to be the first Indian sumo wrestler.
01:21:38.980
India's first female sumo wrestler defying odds and empowering women.
01:21:45.500
Hetal Dave's journey in sumo wrestling is not just about personal triumph.
01:21:48.060
It's about rewriting what's possible for women in India.
01:22:04.780
I'm going to give it a hesitant yes from that picture that I would smash.
01:22:10.860
I mean, for the movie, that she could be your last.
01:22:12.440
Yeah, and I'm saying, you know, I want to do it for real.
01:22:21.720
Do you think of romance maybe is possible between you and Spade?
01:22:24.000
Maybe you guys just have like a become gay later in life?
01:22:59.080
What about the election over there happened, man?
01:23:15.880
What's it like between the second season and the first season?
01:23:21.080
But we, yeah, we're in the same spot and it's, I think it's going to be fucking great.
01:23:28.000
I mean, the first season, I didn't even know, when I agreed to do it, I thought it was going
01:23:42.700
Like, I was supposed to have a small part and we just had like so much fun doing it.
01:23:46.580
It was like so fun and we felt like we were just making a fun web series.
01:23:50.840
Like, cause I loved, Gillian Keeves was so fucking funny.
01:23:55.780
And, and I almost was in one and then it like fell through.
01:23:58.640
And so I just wanted a chance to work with those guys.
01:24:00.660
So when Shane hit me up, I was like, I don't need to know shit.
01:24:04.960
And it's insane that this thing that we didn't, honestly, we did it in a few weeks.
01:24:10.520
And then we did like a couple days of reshoots and it was a fucking show that was top
01:24:20.320
And so, and so I think, I mean, we've been shooting from, I think we started in October
01:24:34.500
We have, I don't want to, you know, I'm the least important.
01:24:37.260
I don't want to give away too much, but there's like a bunch of cool actors in it.
01:24:41.460
I play, I'm basically like their, I'm basically like.
01:24:49.680
I'm the guy who's like, it's like a family tire shop.
01:24:51.720
And I'm like the kind of middle manager GM who's just kind of in the middle of it.
01:25:04.540
It was really hard for me to get into the character.
01:25:12.340
Is it shot on sticks or is it shot like the office?
01:25:17.720
I mean, it depends, but it's mostly, I would say it's mostly handheld.
01:25:21.780
They have some, some, you know, steady shots, but no, it's, we have.
01:25:32.100
Well, that's, that's, what's awesome about like, you got to love Shane.
01:25:39.720
But the second he could like Steve Gerben, who is, you know, he's the man, he's the lead,
01:25:51.160
And, and McKeever who directs it is so fucking good.
01:26:02.500
And it's again, and people saying queers, people fixing tires.
01:26:14.320
You're going to have to deal with a little bit of misogyny, but we're going to get you
01:26:19.300
It's like, you know, you want the chassis tightened up or not?
01:26:28.300
But yeah, I mean, it's a, if you're setting us some shit in a tire shop, that's how those
01:26:37.340
Like a trans male swimmer in there or something.
01:26:46.760
On the way to the, maybe, maybe on the way to the meet.
01:26:59.220
All people want is just art to reflect life, man.
01:27:03.400
And if your thing is set in a tire shop, that's how those guys have to behave.
01:27:11.380
And they can go do, you know, they can fucking talk the way they actually talk.
01:27:14.940
And if you have tire guys, talk the way they talk.
01:27:18.020
That's what you just need is, I think that's, people just want the reality of stuff.
01:27:32.420
And they, they, they, they rag on each other so much.
01:27:39.660
And yeah, you can't really say wild shit in an office.
01:27:44.140
But if you're going to do some shit in a tire, in a family owned tire shop.
01:28:01.060
No matter what, no matter how many reports the UN writes, you're not stopping that.
01:28:05.700
You're not stopping the fucking family owned tire shop from saying racist shit.
01:28:16.960
I would, don't let, don't let a teenager work in a Greek diner.
01:28:22.800
You're going to, don't let, don't let the hostess work for some guy.
01:28:25.980
The evil variant of me from a different universe that has same hair, open black polo.
01:28:33.900
You don't want him fucking, you don't want him sexually harassing the hostess.
01:28:39.440
Well, I just, as long as the guy who's making my food has, has a, like a thing of toilet
01:28:48.520
As long as one of the line cooks is going through active withdrawals.
01:28:57.020
Just by his hand, just holding there with a spatula.
01:29:01.060
Look, there might be some chest hair on your lamb chops, but it's going to be the best lamb
01:29:06.520
You really want to get the fucking food safety people involved in this?
01:29:30.840
You're kind of, you've become a staple of your favorite football team.
01:29:43.740
This year, I'm doing a couple for the holidays.
01:29:45.780
It's fucking nuts to go to your favorite, the team you grew up rooting for.
01:29:50.440
And it's like, they fucking put me on the jumbotron, dude.
01:29:54.900
I got to fucking, yeah, you get to, I got to meet players.
01:30:16.200
And yeah, they put, this is on the Ravens Instagram account.
01:30:28.080
They wouldn't let me, they wouldn't let me mention guns.
01:30:36.600
Also, Suboxone Wilson is a player there too, which is.
01:30:46.080
Bro, the Saints have, the Saint, someone keeps tweeting about the,
01:30:50.380
the Pope keeps accidentally tweeting about the New Orleans Saints, dude.
01:31:02.980
I'm a Saints guy, but they've been under, they've been under delivering for the past few years.
01:31:07.500
And that's been, um, Pope Francis keeps accidentally tweeting about the New Orleans Saints.
01:31:13.480
The hashtag Saints are formed by the Beatitudes.
01:31:16.040
Poor, meek, merciful, hungering, and thirsting for justice, seeking peace.
01:31:23.360
Yeah, I think the Saints, uh, the post went up before the Saints lost to the lowly Carolina Panthers,
01:31:30.900
They took it out, but in the actual tweet, it was showing the Saints logo every time he hashtagged Saints.
01:31:42.300
Thank you for your prayers, Ponce, if we need them.
01:31:48.960
But that, now does that prove, there it is, does that prove that the Catholic God is not real?
01:31:54.660
Because a tweet from Pope Francis doesn't even get you to beat the fucking Panthers.
01:31:59.380
I'd like to see, you know, a Muslim guy tweet about you.
01:32:02.860
I'd like to see, this is a good way to see who wins.
01:32:07.880
Each religion tweets about the New Orleans Saints.
01:32:22.440
Get some fucking fat bitches with black lipstick.
01:32:32.400
One time I was walking on the beach in like Destin, Florida at night.
01:32:35.480
And we were like, we were kids and we got to go to the beach.
01:32:41.400
And so she's like, I want you to hold me in the water or whatever.
01:32:44.060
And it was like, I'd hidden like a bottle of wine that I told someone in the sand earlier in the day.
01:32:50.080
So I'm out there literally digging in the fucking sand by myself under like, probably pretty decent moonlight, right?
01:32:58.240
And like I'm one of those like watching the grunion run or whatever.
01:33:03.940
Trying to see how many of your babies make it to sea.
01:33:07.240
Literally, I'm just looking for a bottle of Zinfandel.
01:33:16.100
And she's like, I want you to hold me in the water.
01:33:33.000
And that she had to be pregnant by a certain time or whatever.
01:33:41.920
I was like, this Zinfandel has got to fucking go, Zinfandel.
01:33:47.680
Did you encounter any like, because I think about like New Orleans.
01:34:08.520
I stole the money and then used the money to buy peanut butter M&Ms, right?
01:34:18.860
And I finally, and I was on the road for a while.
01:34:20.680
And then I finally got back home and I put them, I went and put twice as much money back.
01:34:25.680
When we grew up, there was a lot of prot, like those like snake fucking Protestants, you know?
01:34:41.860
It's interesting how many different, because Greek people have like, when somebody, we have
01:34:45.440
like the, kind of like a little altar for like your past loved ones.
01:34:49.140
And if you think about it, it is, even though we're Greek Orthodox, that's so clearly like
01:35:01.020
But I wonder, well, I wonder if we should spend more time communicating with the deceased,
01:35:06.780
Helping relieve, you know, or is there anything that they need to tell us?
01:35:09.540
It's like, we're just like fucking be, you know, like once they clock out, we're like,
01:35:17.380
Having some pasta in your memory and that's it.
01:35:20.100
They just like, because the Mexicans do that every year.
01:35:30.260
Halloween night, they let all of like the family members come back, you know?
01:35:46.500
You got to deal with your generational trauma, you cocksucker.
01:35:52.540
Stop depending on your grandfather to turn your life around.
01:35:57.040
I think I did try to watch this on a plane or whatever.
01:36:01.760
What happened was, so me and my brothers, we had a tradition where we would take some
01:36:08.880
kind of hallucinogenic, whatever big like Hollywood release was out that, you know, like a big
01:36:15.080
fun action movie or like, like Star, the first, the first time we did it was the new Star
01:36:20.040
Wars prequels where it was like, we didn't give a fuck about Star Wars that much, but
01:36:23.580
you take some fucking acid, you watch Star Wars, it's going to be fucking awesome.
01:36:27.980
So we would do that on Christmas or around Christmas.
01:36:29.940
You'll sort of fight your stepfather in the fucking yard.
01:36:38.420
Surprise attack with a catalytic converter out there.
01:36:42.960
So we did that and then one year we were going to, it was Aquaman was coming out.
01:36:49.800
Thought for sure there's no way, you know, Aquaman's going to be sold out.
01:36:58.600
And we're like, all right, let's just get back to the house ASAP.
01:37:04.240
So then my brother's like, um, Coco is pretty like colorful.
01:37:15.140
We were like, it's a story all about like family.
01:37:22.940
Just sobbing and being like, dude, I thought I was going to watch Jason Momoa fight a fucking
01:37:29.860
And now I'm thinking about my dead grandparents and if they're proud of me or not.
01:37:39.520
And then my brother, I was like sobbing so much afterwards.
01:37:43.360
And he just put on Thor Ragnarok for me to just fucking calm down.
01:37:58.480
He puts on soft core pornography with huge titted women.
01:38:13.780
Wendy Weatherfoot is a nature based animation series on YouTube.
01:38:20.200
If you like children in nature, you might like it.
01:38:23.680
That would have been a better thing to calm me down.
01:38:26.500
But yeah, it was fucked up how much cocoa on acid when I was not emotionally ready to deal
01:38:39.420
Because first you're like, you're telling me this little bitty square of paper.
01:38:43.800
Is going to remodel the way I experience the world.
01:38:50.220
Is going to make me hide behind the car in your yard.
01:39:07.340
And I literally was fucking crying at that, too.
01:39:10.840
But that was a more like, the movie was affecting me.
01:39:19.980
And like moments before I was laughing at what a stupid movie it was.
01:39:30.740
And it's just the attendant is just shining a flashlight right in your eyes.
01:39:46.580
Like around the holidays, I'll start watching a lot of those military people come home videos.
01:39:51.080
Oh, that's, that'll fucking do it to you for sure.
01:39:55.520
While we look for that one more time, I was on acid at the movies.
01:40:00.180
I was, the people in the theater thought I was a special needs because I was like.
01:40:05.880
What gave it, or what gave them the impression?
01:40:07.680
I was again on, I was actually on mushrooms and acid at the time.
01:40:19.040
And every time Babu Frick would come on, I would be like, yeah, I would be so happy.
01:40:26.240
I was so, that I kind of returned to being a fucking baby.
01:40:32.460
And every time he'd come on, I'd be like, yeah, Babu Frick.
01:40:43.040
And then I saw, I saw them be like, like their faces soften.
01:40:54.580
It's like, there's no way a man this old and fat is not special needs.
01:41:21.340
We went to the Waffle House in our town, right?
01:41:27.200
And there was a gay, or there was a homosexual urban male in there, waiter.
01:41:44.320
That's one of the funnest type of guys in the world.
01:41:48.020
And we're so high that all we can do is fucking laugh.
01:41:55.340
It was the only place that had lights out where you could be somewhere and be young and not
01:41:59.580
As long as you were buying food, you had a legal reason to be there.
01:42:19.040
My buddy starts laughing so hard and starts fucking choking.
01:42:23.280
The guy, the way it starts giving him the fucking-
01:42:35.160
My body was coming out of my fucking body, dude.
01:42:40.280
And my buddy's just getting fucking remodeled by this breakfast brother, dude.
01:43:07.060
Like he had so much on, you almost thought he was like one of those people that blows up
01:43:32.100
I mean, I have friends who are on the show now, and like, it would be cool to go, but
01:43:35.780
I just, you know, always traveling, never here.
01:43:41.100
They'll probably ask you to do it this year, I bet.
01:43:46.760
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to fuck, you know, it seems like, because I have friends who
01:43:49.860
are on the show, and it's like, seems like a hard job.
01:43:53.260
As much, as stressful as it is to like, have to put out shit constantly and be touring,
01:44:01.880
As, that's a great, you know, that's a huge comedy show that people still watch, but you're
01:44:09.800
Even if it's a cool fucking job, just being worried about my performance at work, I can't
01:44:20.540
But if I, yeah, that's why I say like, I'm a, I work for myself and I'm a hard person to
01:44:29.460
I'm my own boss and my boss is a fucking idiot.
01:44:42.340
If I saw you in Houston, if your name is Mark and we hooked up in Houston.
01:45:01.820
But I had to play in the dark and that was a challenge.
01:45:04.420
That's good for your understanding of the fretboard.
01:45:12.060
Well, Burr, Bill Burr dropped into a lot of the characters.
01:45:15.100
Are he like the acting part where you're like doing the characters?
01:45:19.260
He really like try, you know, it's like, because some of it, it was like kind of, you would
01:45:26.820
Like sketch comedy in general is a little, is a little cheesy, but if you're going to
01:45:38.760
Any, go to the after party or anything like that?
01:45:43.620
They line up like limos and people all from the show go get in the limos and they're just
01:45:47.320
waiting outside and it takes everybody to the after party.
01:45:52.220
Kind of like how North Korea has a bunch of tanks and stuff.
01:45:59.160
We got 12 limos going to the Dave and Buster's in Times Square.
01:46:02.540
And all of our drivers are addicted to porn if you're in North Korea.
01:46:13.280
Once someone gets a little taste of pornography, you tell me they're going to go back to no
01:46:18.400
This could legitimately lead to the toppling of the North Korean regime.
01:46:23.080
North Korea soldiers in Russia gain internet access, view lewd videos.
01:46:54.260
Tells me that the North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered
01:47:12.260
Probably mouth open, use a couple of phones going at once.
01:47:25.520
There's no way Kim Jong-un is sending his best boys out there.
01:47:30.520
He might want to get the masturbators out of his ranks.
01:48:19.320
Um, the hats are pretty, the hats are pretty high.
01:48:37.320
Because he's lost all the blood from that ear and it's gone translucent because that's
01:48:43.820
All non-essential blood is being redirected to your dick when you see porn for the first
01:48:50.580
I remember at school when I would have to take tests, I would fucking tie my legs off like
01:48:57.480
So I'd be able to have more oxygen in my brain to help me think.
01:49:24.880
Yeah, they won't be in Westminster, but they won't be in the dog show.
01:49:31.880
So I think if I get in the gym for a couple of weeks, I'll show them, you know?
01:49:43.800
What bothers me is I love, I'm a little too milky white up here.
01:49:47.180
Oh, you got those fours, five walls right there, baby.
01:50:06.200
Police seized a goat from an 11-year-old girl on a $300,000 settlement.
01:50:11.740
What is up with cops taking fucking animals, dude?
01:50:17.040
I don't understand why people are fucking, it's just like bureaucratic, like who gives
01:50:27.060
Hopefully this goat wasn't biting people's dicks off or whatever.
01:50:31.380
It turns out the goat was a fucking piece of shit.
01:50:33.900
But if he was just a nice little goat, Vanessa Shakib.
01:50:40.980
The goat was seized by sheriffs, go back to the top a little bit, sheriff's deputies
01:50:44.760
in 2022 while living at a North Carolina farm and was later slaughtered.
01:50:58.320
The cop's like, nah, we're getting this guy out of here.
01:51:03.520
Yeah, the sheriff's deputies did nothing than enforce the law.
01:51:14.500
They shouldn't have killed Peanut, but the bitch who snitched is obviously the biggest
01:51:20.880
Cops love killing a fucking animal when they can, man.
01:51:46.580
What are people truly scared of, do you think, when they talk about Trump?
01:51:52.080
I kind of start to wonder, what do people be scared of?
01:51:56.920
So for me, I didn't love either candidate here.
01:52:02.400
I really didn't understand being enthusiastic about either candidate.
01:52:07.600
I think, you know, I'm not a Trump guy, obviously.
01:52:10.660
I think he is dangerous in the things that I'm scared of the most.
01:52:14.040
And the thing that made me lean towards Kamala was, more than anything, was the Supreme Court.
01:52:18.840
And that it would be, if it's put under, like, far-right control for the next however long.
01:52:27.980
We've already seen, you know, women's right to, you know, over their bodies, the abortion, you know, Roe v. Wade's been overturned, which I think is really dangerous.
01:52:35.600
That's going to, like, really affect women's health care.
01:52:39.000
Already in states that banned it, you see they're getting less just general OBGYN care because it's more dangerous to be a doctor in those states.
01:52:46.460
So we don't think about shit that trickles down.
01:52:49.520
So, like, it's harder to get just general health care, let alone abortion, in Texas now for women.
01:52:56.280
And that's only going to get harder in rural states.
01:52:58.740
And I think, for me, that was the number one issue.
01:53:02.400
Well, especially with the border being open and they're letting rapists in.
01:53:10.440
I mean, I don't know if it's the best time to repeal that.
01:53:13.920
If we're going to follow your logic and you claim they got rapists coming in, maybe we should also keep abortion.
01:53:20.700
But, you know, I think we got plenty of homegrown rapists, too.
01:53:28.180
We've got some heirloom American rapists, for sure.
01:53:33.780
But I think that's my, the number one thing that scares me is about that because it's not only, that's the first step.
01:53:39.760
And I think you can really see stuff that we take for granted as progress.
01:53:45.440
There's a really weird cultural, I think this is what happens anytime the party that's backed by the, you know,
01:53:54.200
the powers that be, big business, the rich people, the richest people in the world want far-right politicians.
01:53:59.920
And I think if they still, absolutely, without question.
01:54:04.180
I feel like tech is now, I just feel like the parties have changed.
01:54:11.000
I think rich people will support whoever's in power, number one.
01:54:14.320
But they want to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich.
01:54:19.140
The biggest issue, I think the reason the Democrats lost is because they pretend that there is no problem.
01:54:28.400
You have to tell people that, yes, there are issues here.
01:54:33.100
I think inflation, I think a big part of inflation is that companies realize they can just charge you more
01:54:47.500
And companies are, some of it is just real inflation, but some of it is companies are hiding behind inflation.
01:54:52.880
And like there was no, Democrats did nothing to stop price gouging, right?
01:54:58.700
You can't tell people that things are going good when they're just clearly not.
01:55:03.580
And there were just no, it sucks because they offered, the Democratic Party has become like,
01:55:09.680
they were going after fucking Dick Cheney and who's like-
01:55:14.400
It's crazy because they're going after policy-wise, you know, moderates, Republican, Republican people who most working class people
01:55:22.240
don't agree with the economic stuff that they're saying.
01:55:25.880
And then culturally, it's not, it bothers me when you become a party of like tattletales.
01:55:32.900
It's like, it's become a party of like middle managers that want to get mad at you if you say the wrong thing.
01:55:38.100
And it's like, that's not fucking, that's not the most important issue.
01:55:42.360
The most important issue for people is that things are fucking more, they have no healthcare.
01:55:49.660
We're not, people's wages have not kept pace with how much bosses are earning.
01:55:54.640
Well, yeah, well, what percent, I mean, Bernie Sanders said greatly that he thought if AI starts to happen for companies, right?
01:56:00.520
So companies are making more money because of AI, because they don't need people, right?
01:56:04.600
Then some of that money should go to the employees.
01:56:08.860
As opposed, and cut it, cut it down their hours for the week.
01:56:11.380
Now you give them a better life instead of just making it where, well, fucking-
01:56:17.780
So you don't get anything and we keep all the fucking profits.
01:56:20.160
It's, and I do think, I mean, I think we talked about it a little bit last time where it's like, AI is a tool to fucking do creative shit.
01:56:28.180
It's so weird when it's like, it should be making normal people's lives easier.
01:56:32.440
It shouldn't just be for rich people to be able to charge less.
01:56:36.260
Like, there should be some protections for workers and we should be able to like, you know, you should be able to fucking buy a house.
01:56:44.060
All these fucking regular issues that weren't really hit on.
01:56:47.580
It was just, well, you got to vote for us because the other person's worse.
01:56:51.560
And even though I think that is true, that's not a winning message.
01:56:55.380
Especially when the other side is offering, they're at least saying shit's bad.
01:57:03.540
Trans people aren't the people buying up houses and not letting you buy it.
01:57:08.900
But at least they're saying something's wrong and they're saying some fucked up shit, in my opinion.
01:57:16.880
They're trying to divide people who should be on the same side by saying, oh, gay people are bad, trans people are bad.
01:57:23.280
When it's like, the people trying to fuck you are rich people.
01:57:32.120
And some people think they're going to be fucking billionaires when it's like they don't make off crypto or whatever.
01:57:38.100
And they're like, well, when I'm that rich, I don't want to be taxed.
01:57:44.440
You're sharing a loft bedroom with your friend's dad who's taking dick pills.
01:57:49.020
You don't have to worry about fucking tax rates going up on you.
01:57:56.160
How about we raise some fucking taxes on the richest people and you get some fucking health care?
01:58:06.260
It's frustrating because I, but even having said all that, I think what people are scared of the most with Trump is just, yeah, man, the Supreme Court being taken over by like ideologically really right wing because now the Senate is Republican and there's like, you know, taken over by that.
01:58:25.960
That is scary to me because we could see a lot of stuff rolled back that is, that we, we take for granted as fundamental and stuff that's just progress.
01:58:33.880
We can argue over like, you know, economic issues, whatever, but some of those things that does scare me when it's like gay, like women's rights are being rolled back.
01:58:42.100
Oh, it would be so wild if you got groups in there that were like, well, you can't do gay anymore.
01:58:50.440
But then you'd have to, all the gays would have to pretend they're straight again or whatever.
01:58:57.820
I just threw away all my straight, I just threw away all my Dockers.
01:59:04.540
I just fucking burned all my Doc Martens and just lay in bed holding my high school girlfriend.
01:59:13.180
Gay guys and lesbians have to get married again and then fuck other, fuck on the side.
01:59:20.740
There was something, Admiral, about those days, though.
01:59:22.900
Look, you got, you got, I respect getting a nut anyway against the, against everything.
01:59:28.320
Well, just the hard work, just the, you know, the effort that people put into being gay.
01:59:32.380
Whereas now fucking some dude is just like all day being gay.
01:59:36.540
Just willy fucking nilly, just burning the gay candle at both ends.
01:59:45.900
I used to have a gay roommate for about four months and he would chew gum in his fucking sleep.
02:00:01.740
But he could jump literally at an angle and kind of.
02:00:13.280
My buddy and I were shopping for Firewood and we met him at a Vons one afternoon.
02:00:23.660
Your buddy's like, hey, pal, ease off the Tercel.
02:00:32.020
The last thing I need is a gay heel going through my windshield.
02:00:40.280
He's just buffing it with his feet as he passes over.
02:00:50.920
Donald Trump campaigned harder than fucking anyone.
02:00:59.680
Yeah, I mean, I think he loves the attention of candidates.
02:01:07.400
I mean, that blew my mind just how much he could do, you know?
02:01:22.180
He loves getting in front of this crowd, just fucking riffing.
02:01:26.180
Dude, you think that motherfucker wants to be in meetings?
02:01:28.220
Or you think he wants to be talking to the Nelk boys about how he used to get pussy in
02:01:36.420
He doesn't want to listen to fucking reports about fucking stats and numbers and shit.
02:01:41.420
No, he wants to eat a Big Mac, drink a Diet Coke, and go on bussing with the boys.
02:01:55.880
I will say, I think one of the funniest guys I've ever had, though.
02:02:00.880
I'm not going to sit here and tell you he's not fucking.
02:02:02.820
He's funny as shit, which is, I think, why things are so.
02:02:09.480
If somebody was saying the exact same shit with no humor at all, it would be horrifying.
02:02:17.480
He says insane shit, but it's funny as fuck, and he seems gay.
02:02:22.220
He's a New York gay guy who happens to be straight, I guess.
02:02:39.220
Yeah, but you didn't put him in Queens in that story.
02:02:45.360
I'm saying, I don't think he's gay, but he does have gay mannerisms.
02:03:13.180
I don't know if there's so many whispers in his ear.
02:03:32.400
Some dude with a mouthful of Zan's rolls up there.
02:03:35.940
Just fucking slitting stay awake juice into the fucking audience.
02:03:41.700
But like, I'm not going to sit here and tell you the guy.
02:03:52.920
I just never believe the government's going to affect my life that much.
02:03:56.680
The president, the presidential, the president doesn't have that much power.
02:04:01.980
And if it wasn't for the Supreme Court, I would be like, who really gives a fuck?
02:04:06.100
The Democrats didn't run any kind of coherent campaign.
02:04:13.400
Because look, I my politics are further left than that.
02:04:17.700
Bernie is the only guy I liked in a long time because I thought he was the only human being
02:04:26.780
The idea that he's different from politicians is crazy.
02:04:29.220
He's a rich guy who had, you know, he grew up rich.
02:04:33.880
And it's like his dad, you know, he was like his dad was a fucking slumlord.
02:04:37.760
He's just a rich guy who's fucked over people on deals forever.
02:04:41.260
He's I don't like I, you know, I have class issues.
02:04:47.160
And and I don't see how he's going to do anything different.
02:04:50.020
I think it's naive to think he's going to be different than.
02:04:52.320
And I understand not trusting the Democratic establishment, but it's like to me, Trump's
02:04:56.600
funny, but he is he's a fucking billionaire propped up by other billionaires.
02:05:00.940
That's I think he's part of just the the complex that runs our country.
02:05:08.700
It's going to be a challenge to see if he is like, I mean, I'll think, you know, he's
02:05:13.480
We're talking about him like he's the shaking up force.
02:05:20.540
That's what both of them were that both of them were that that was a fallacy.
02:05:24.780
It was like and Kamala's like, it'll be different.
02:05:36.380
That guy's been having ice cream for six months.
02:05:40.400
And when they that's what that's what lost me as a Democrat when they that's when they
02:05:44.480
lost me was when they lied about or when they just I just didn't like the way
02:05:49.720
Yeah, you know, it's not fucking cool because then he believes he's doing great.
02:06:09.320
It looks like he's just about to finish a fucking marathon.
02:06:17.200
He's the fucking mayor of Wisconsin and they're given an unlimited.
02:06:26.360
I think they made a fucking huge mistake in running him again.
02:06:31.320
Like when he ran the first time, it's like, I get it.
02:06:35.300
So like put some fucking, you know, put some middle of the road as Democrat, but then they
02:06:42.840
Like people could actually vote on the issues they care about and they just didn't do that.
02:06:49.260
And, and she even had an opportunity to, if she came out with any fucking, um, you know,
02:06:58.460
It was all Biden remixes and nobody likes Biden.
02:07:01.380
And you can't just hit any, she's trying to go after blacks with a mixtape.
02:07:13.920
But look, man, I think it's just crazy how, um, I don't know.
02:07:20.160
I'm, I'm most excited about RFK and, uh, JD Vance was super cool when he came on the podcast.
02:07:28.600
I don't know that JD Vance, to me, he seems like a traditional, just say whatever it takes
02:07:35.820
I know, you know, you had him on, he was cool here, but he was a guy who said he hated Trump.
02:07:41.760
Like, I just think he's a, and venture capitalist guys are fucking worms to begin with.
02:07:51.460
I mean, just, I think he's a cut in the regular ass Republican that'll say any fucking fucked
02:07:59.520
He sucked Trump's cock after saying he was, he called him Hitler or whatever.
02:08:03.460
And he made a complete turn when he realized it was politically advantageous to be on Trump's
02:08:09.000
I think he also is just a run of the mill piece of shit politician.
02:08:15.660
I think all politicians is a weird thing to be, right?
02:08:20.440
That's what I'm saying is like, I've never been excited about, the politics I've been
02:08:27.680
And I think he did have a real opportunity to do something and it turned out he didn't
02:08:34.500
But that's the, that's the thing that always happens.
02:08:37.700
At least that was something that was like, and I think part of that was Obama was just
02:08:43.220
I think if he had a little more, you know, he didn't know what he was doing with the
02:08:47.560
His, the healthcare thing got completely fucked and universal healthcare.
02:08:59.320
No, it's like, I kind of like some plastic cups of it.
02:09:04.500
But he got worked over by thinking he could, um, actually, uh, you know, find common ground
02:09:13.140
They should have just rammed the legislation down their throat.
02:09:19.480
The, and the only person I was excited about was Bernie because I think he was actually
02:09:30.420
Well, one, I like Vance as a guy, seemed like a nice guy.
02:09:33.820
I know that like, like he's like, you know, they say like Peter Thiel is like the guy
02:09:39.500
But then you start to see that all these guys have backers.
02:09:42.180
Will things be different with some of these guys?
02:09:45.140
I think, but one thing that's cool is that we both like Bernie.
02:09:50.520
And see, that's the, is I think those ideas unite people because he's just saying like,
02:09:59.600
We're not going to pretend shit's good when it's not.
02:10:01.680
And let's find real ways to do it that everybody gets in every, that's real equality.
02:10:06.640
He wants to help everyone because it's not about, it's not, it's not a fucking, it's not
02:10:14.880
And more people are disaffected because of the, you know, people at the top.
02:10:20.100
And I think that's a message that everyone can agree with.
02:10:23.180
And I think when, when people aren't looking at things ideologically, if you just ask them
02:10:27.920
about issues, people agree on a lot of fucking issues, they want to be able to fucking buy
02:10:33.320
They want to be able to afford shit and they want to be able to fucking, you know, get
02:10:38.880
Like I have, you know, I know people extended, extended family, stuff like that, that are
02:10:43.440
struggling off shit that they shouldn't, because somebody got sick and it derails your whole
02:10:49.840
The number one cause of, I mean, we say this all the time now because it's one of the few
02:10:52.940
facts I know, but the number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical debt.
02:10:57.740
And so it's a fucking, the whole system is a money laundering scam.
02:11:03.520
And if you would think at some point, one of these fucking groups would be able to change
02:11:08.700
It's, I mean, there is so much money in politics and I was.
02:11:11.680
But it's just, it's so, people are so fed up with the fucking system.
02:11:15.640
I just, you almost want there to be a war to end it all or whatever.
02:11:26.340
Everything has to change because this is not changing over time, right?
02:11:29.820
Some people believe revolution is the only way to fucking do it.
02:11:37.560
That was the main reason, like Shane said it too, on his podcast.
02:11:41.480
It would have been so funny to be able to blame Tony.
02:11:44.000
If Kamala won, he would have just been able to, like, you bombed so hard that the part
02:11:51.660
How fun would that be to tell Tony for the rest of his life?
02:11:55.700
That's actually the thing I'm most pissed off about.
02:11:59.980
After being able to mock Tony for the rest of my life.
02:12:02.880
That's what I regret the most about the election.
02:12:13.540
I think we could do, I know that we could do better in this country about being, making
02:12:20.280
Is it in Japan where they have the sidewalks turn power of fucking building?
02:12:26.120
The fucking building's powered by people walking on this.
02:12:34.840
Dude, our trains, if you're on a train, the other day, it got robbed by a bunch of people
02:12:40.980
The M-Track's getting the fucking, the 310 to Yuma treatment.
02:12:48.140
Dude, you go to the post office, you go in there, you're like, yeah, I'm looking for
02:12:53.200
The guy comes back two days later and asks you who the fuck you are.
02:13:08.420
Yeah, but it's like, meanwhile, we have all these homeless people wandering around town.
02:13:11.120
If you put them all in an area and set up one of these, because this floor in Japan
02:13:30.260
But if you can get 50 or 70 homeless people to power a Jamba juice or something, you know?
02:13:36.120
They come out, they dance for 12 minutes or whatever.
02:13:45.300
And they get a free smoothie for their trouble.
02:13:48.600
But instead, everybody's like, they need pills.
02:13:52.820
Well, that's a perfect example, though, of homelessness.
02:14:05.860
But there is all this weird, like, we'll create non-profits to help the homeless that
02:14:12.340
cost more than just getting them little apartments.
02:14:18.700
And they'll just keep busting them back and forth to different cities.
02:14:21.140
And he's like, it's basically political parties play Red Rover with them.
02:14:26.520
What they should do is, instead of busting them, sign them up for Southwest miles.
02:14:31.580
And then they get some fucking miles out of it.
02:14:33.620
Give them a Southwest credit card every time you ship them from Texas to New York to fucking
02:14:45.520
Someone's just hacking up a fucking dead sparrow in his throat.
02:14:48.720
And I only say that because I was in San Francisco one time.
02:14:51.520
My guy threw a fucking bird at me for no reason.
02:14:58.380
It could have been a warbler, but I'm going to get him back.
02:15:03.180
You put an air tag in his bindle and you're tracking him.
02:15:08.420
Every time I close my eyes, I still see what he looks like.
02:15:25.500
Go to Apple, Amazon, wherever you like to rent movies.
02:15:35.360
And yeah, I really appreciate you having me on, dude.
02:15:42.440
I'm going to come back in December so I can do yours in.
02:15:45.940
And I remember I didn't even know you were the guy from Comptown that I liked.
02:16:01.680
I'll have you play a little guitar while I get my dick sucked.
02:16:21.180
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind.
