00:01:18.480 Thank you.

00:01:20.400 Good day, sir.

00:01:23.240 I said good day.

00:01:24.780 It's been a week.

00:01:27.240 It's been a week.

00:01:28.380 What's been happening?

00:01:29.360 And, oh, this, I, um, good day.

00:01:31.820 First of all, let me say that to you.

00:01:33.400 And, um, this is the day that we have been given.

00:01:37.720 And, um, yeah.

00:01:41.460 And I'm happy to be here and alive with you today on planet Earth at this time in existence.

00:01:46.720 And here we are.

00:01:49.420 Um, what is going on?

00:01:52.940 I'll tell, oh, this, I freaking, um, I'm in Los Angeles, right?

00:01:56.580 And I forgot that I have a Jeep Cherokee out here.

00:02:02.100 And, um, it's probably maybe six, seven years old or something.

00:02:06.600 Um, and I forgot that, um, I wasn't driving my car at home, right?

00:02:15.000 In Nashville.

00:02:15.920 So the other day I thought my car got stolen.

00:02:19.200 So I call the, um, police or whatever, or, you know, yes, the authorities, they come, the

00:02:27.500 guy, we're standing, I'm like telling him, describing, uh, my car, which is a cyber truck.

00:02:33.800 And I know that's alarming and it makes a lot of people sad and that's okay.

00:02:38.160 Um, but I'm describing, and it is, it's a, it's very, it's, it's like driving like a, um,

00:02:45.720 molar filling for the Statue of Liberty.

00:02:48.920 You just feel like you're driving this huge molar filling for some gigantic thing.

00:02:54.400 But, um, anyway, besides all that, I call the police.

00:02:58.980 I'm telling the guy, uh, took a while, waited probably 40 minutes.

00:03:02.480 I'm telling the officer explaining the vehicle and stuff.

00:03:06.220 And I reach him, my, um, pants.

00:03:09.960 I have car keys, right?

00:03:11.220 I have car keys.

00:03:12.280 And the guy, and I said, well, these are the keys to it.

00:03:16.240 And I gave them to him and he presses the button and the fucking, dude, I, uh, the car,

00:03:24.520 the car was like fucking five cars away.

00:03:27.180 I thought that I had, I was driving my cyber truck.

00:03:32.960 I just forgot.

00:03:33.920 I thought I was driving my truck and I just, I forgot.

00:03:37.060 Cause I, I, for, I just hadn't been in Los Angeles in so long.

00:03:40.020 And I just forgot that, um, I was driving, um, this chair, the, the Jeep.

00:03:45.220 So the Jeep, like I'm a multi-car owner, but, um, anyway, absolutely embarrassing and just

00:03:54.360 ridiculous.

00:03:54.920 And just, you know, I was like, I was to describe the vehicle to him, you know, and describe the

00:04:04.360 vehicle.

00:04:04.620 And first of all, when you're describing a cyber truck, you're like, yeah, it looks like

00:04:07.620 a, uh, you fucking can't, it's a fucking, you know, it looks like a UFO that couldn't

00:04:14.180 make it, you know, that's kind of what, you know, it's just very, it's like, you know,

00:04:18.480 it looks like a, uh, you're like, you're driving a sand wedge or something.

00:04:23.620 So just that, uh, that alone is, is bizarre.

00:04:26.420 And then I was like, yeah, I don't know what happened.

00:04:29.340 I ran inside here for a little bit and I came out and it was gone.

00:04:32.080 So I'm telling them that.

00:04:33.160 And then I have the keys.

00:04:33.980 And then I, I think I, that's where my glitch was.

00:04:36.680 I was like, yeah, and I guess I, um, I still have the keys and I give them to him.

00:04:39.760 He fucking presses the thing, the keys to the, uh, my Jeep and bam, it's fucking right there.

00:04:49.220 So anyway, whatever, that's where I'm at.

00:04:53.760 Um, what else?

00:04:55.220 Let's get into it, man.

00:04:56.220 I just got back from the inauguration in the USA and I was, uh, let's play some, let's play,

00:05:02.060 let's lead into it with a little instrumental.

00:05:06.680 U-U-S-A

00:05:27.900 Inauguration

00:05:31.440 Very beautiful.

00:05:42.560 That's Canon in D major right there.

00:05:45.920 If you're into that sort of thing.

00:05:48.360 Um, yeah, I was just, uh, I took a red eye flight.

00:05:53.260 And so I got in probably six 30 in the morning, had to get dressed in the car and took this,

00:06:00.320 uh, suit that I have on, got dressed in the car, went to, got dropped off at a hotel.

00:06:07.300 Right.

00:06:08.140 And you couldn't, you couldn't go within like five blocks of the hotel.

00:06:11.720 You had to, there, you couldn't drive up to it.

00:06:14.880 Um, so got dropped off.

00:06:17.160 So when it's walking, um, and it's cold, you know, when you're like, you know, you're hurrying

00:06:22.160 because we had to get there by a certain time by 8 AM to make sure, um, that I could be like

00:06:28.940 legit or whatever.

00:06:30.440 So I guess, so I'm changing in this thing and I didn't know the man, the man, the driver of the, um, car that picked me up.

00:06:38.780 He was a, he was from a, like a United Nations area or whatever.

00:06:44.900 You know what I'm saying?

00:06:45.480 He, this guy was a, he, we probably got him in a trade or something.

00:06:51.380 I don't know how he got him, but he didn't, uh, speak a lot of English and that's okay.

00:06:56.620 And I didn't speak a lot of his language.

00:06:57.940 So we just were, you know, we were different.

00:07:01.000 We were verbally kind of different people.

00:07:05.760 And so anyway, I'm like, and I've never, you know, I'd have to change in this car.

00:07:10.400 And so it was just like, um, yeah, it's weird.

00:07:14.480 First of all, I had to change down to complete nudity, you know, down to just, um, you know,

00:07:19.940 just down to the Lord's Matt finish.

00:07:21.680 You know what I'm talking about, baby, that first layer.

00:07:23.820 And so it was just a lot, you know?

00:07:27.120 So anyway, that happened.

00:07:29.080 And, um, and so anyway, we get to, we get like, you can only get within five blocks of

00:07:35.360 this hotel to where I had to go, uh, check in by 8 AM.

00:07:40.800 And it was called hotel Wilfred, hotel Wilfred wrote it down.

00:07:46.480 And it was fancy.

00:07:48.100 I mean, you go in and there's like a, there's like a truck, like somebody has a trumpet or

00:07:55.100 whatever.

00:07:55.360 They're not even playing it, but they're holding it or whatever.

00:07:58.120 Like a guy standing by the door.

00:08:00.480 And there's some guy whose job he stands outside.

00:08:02.960 His only job is to just be cold.

00:08:05.380 He just looks cold.

00:08:06.680 He's like, you know, it's like a nice place.

00:08:10.040 It's like, like a place you would see on home alone where he goes, where Kevin goes.

00:08:14.960 And, but yeah, there's a guy out front.

00:08:17.240 His job is just to get cold for the rich people inside.

00:08:19.920 So they don't have to do that.

00:08:20.980 Right.

00:08:21.140 So he's just outside just being fucking freezing.

00:08:23.960 That guy was out there, dude.

00:08:25.580 And so I go inside and there's nice carpet and everything.

00:08:30.640 And this wasn't where I was staying.

00:08:32.120 This place was probably, I don't even know how much it was, but they wouldn't like, it was

00:08:37.740 a lot, but anyway, everything had carpet.

00:08:40.140 The walls had carpet.

00:08:41.340 The ceiling had carpet.

00:08:42.640 Everything had kind of flooring or whatever, everything.

00:08:45.920 And, but very fancy, like pictures of, um, like, uh, like rich, somebody rich eating something,

00:08:57.400 you know, like, Oh, um, sirloin or whatever.

00:09:02.300 So anyway, all that shit.

00:09:03.900 So go in there and ask to use the restroom.

00:09:06.380 They had a guy, like the place was nice.

00:09:08.040 They had a guy who was just looking at you, who looked like, do we let this dude use our

00:09:14.080 toilets type of dude, you know, like kind of like a, uh, shit bouncer or whatever they

00:09:18.560 call it, you know, just a dude.

00:09:20.720 And he looked at me and I could tell he was like visually on the fence.

00:09:24.820 Right.

00:09:25.360 But then I kind of gave him like a, you know, I can handle it.

00:09:29.640 Um, type of thing, you know, and then I went in the bathroom.

00:09:33.280 I'm in there changing or whatever.

00:09:35.020 Um, I'm in there, um, getting, uh, my toothbrush, get toothbrush and put some lotion on my arms

00:09:41.780 and legs.

00:09:42.300 Right.

00:09:44.080 Because, uh, yeah, because I didn't want to, you know, it was winter time and I get pretty

00:09:50.500 chapped out.

00:09:51.260 But so anyway, I go and I meet our group in the lobby and I meet up, there's a guy named

00:09:58.120 Alex Bruchowitz and he was, um, the guy who got us in to be able to go.

00:10:05.180 And he was a guy also who his, yeah, his last name, I think Bruchowitz, I don't know.

00:10:12.960 It's a lot of letters that don't even fucking know each other.

00:10:15.700 Right.

00:10:16.000 It's like, you could tell some of the letters, if you write it out, you're like, ah, these

00:10:19.880 bitches, they never even, these letters don't know each other, you know?

00:10:24.980 And if you look on the faces of some of the letters, if you had them lined up, you see some

00:10:28.840 of the letters, like, I don't, I don't know this guy, you know, pointing at the letter

00:10:32.780 next to him or whatever.

00:10:34.380 Yeah, Bruchowitz, Bruchowitz, Bruchowitz, Bruchowitz, something like that.

00:10:41.660 Anyway, I get there, this is the people that is in the group, okay?

00:10:45.720 It is, um, it is Kyle from Nelk Boys, right?

00:10:53.580 John Shahidi, um, from, uh, Shots and Happy Dad, um, Jake Pauls, Logan Pauls.

00:11:02.780 Uh, who else?

00:11:05.880 Let me think.

00:11:07.940 Jake Pauls, Logan Pauls, Pam Pauls, Pam Pauls, uh, Pam Logan Pauls.

00:11:16.540 Let me see, Logan Pauls' mom is called Pam.

00:11:22.280 Um, um, and then, uh, Connor McGregor and, um, Evander Holyfield and Danica Patrick, right?

00:11:35.020 The race car, um, you know, she was like, at first they had like Princess and Mario Kart

00:11:40.560 and then right after that they had, uh, Danica Patrick.

00:11:44.720 So, you know, one of only two female racers ever.

00:11:48.520 So anyway, that is our group.

00:11:51.480 That's our group, right?

00:11:52.400 And like, I don't even know.

00:11:55.520 Let me see.

00:11:55.880 I'd never, oh, I'd met Evander's one time.

00:12:01.620 Okay, so I'd met Evander, I'll tell you this story, I met Evander's.

00:12:05.320 So Evander's is, uh, he, one time I'm at an airport, I think it's Chicago, and they had

00:12:13.520 a McDaniels right there, and they had it all.

00:12:16.520 You know what I'm talking about?

00:12:17.940 They got it all, baby.

00:12:19.780 They got a, uh, the McDouble, the Whopper, the Nuggets, the Mac Nuggets, everything, you

00:12:26.680 know?

00:12:27.360 They got it all, the McFlurry, you know?

00:12:29.360 Uh, the ice cream machines down.

00:12:32.980 Turn it on, Jack!

00:12:34.980 That bitch ain't broken.

00:12:38.040 Um, anyway, so one time I'm at the Chicago airport, I see, uh, Evander's Holyfield sitting

00:12:46.060 right there.

00:12:46.900 He was at a table by himself.

00:12:48.320 He had himself, he got himself a medium fry, okay?

00:12:51.680 And I'll, you know, I'm the kind of guy that who, I guess I'm the kind of guy who, if I'm

00:12:58.760 walking by and I see Evander's Holyfield eating a medium fry, I'm going to stop and watch him.

00:13:05.460 You know, and you don't know you're, you're, you're, you're that type of guy until you're

00:13:09.760 that type of guy.

00:13:10.940 So I'm walking by, I see the fry, I see the Holyfield, bam, brother, you know what I'm

00:13:15.320 saying?

00:13:15.580 Man, it's the fucking thriller for Vanilla McFlurry, you know what I'm saying?

00:13:19.600 Like, I just had to watch this.

00:13:22.040 So Evander's is sitting there, he's putting fries into his mouth and he'd been, over the

00:13:25.980 years, he's accumulated a lot of punches to his face, right?

00:13:29.160 And that's no, that's historical facts.

00:13:31.320 So some of the fries, he wasn't even opening his mouth, right?

00:13:35.120 He was just pushing them through, just pushing on through the, you know, that pantomouth canal,

00:13:41.320 baby, that, you know, through his face, through his mouth, just putting them in.

00:13:46.540 And there was a girl who had been working at the Cinnabon down about maybe 70 yards, okay?

00:13:53.520 They had a Cinnabon about 70 yards down the terminal.

00:13:57.840 And I saw her run up.

00:14:00.280 I saw her run up.

00:14:01.920 And she stopped right in front of Evander's.

00:14:03.960 And he's out, he's there.

00:14:05.320 He's in the, you know, he's halfway through the fourth round of a fucking medium fry.

00:14:09.240 And this girl runs right up, dude.

00:14:13.460 And you could tell she was, she'd left the counter unattended.

00:14:16.980 I'm not trying to rat anybody out, but this was a young sister.

00:14:19.980 And she'd left the counter unattended Chicago airport probably nine years ago, right?

00:14:26.300 Probably 7 p.m.

00:14:28.880 She runs down.

00:14:30.120 She points right at Evander's.

00:14:31.640 And she says, ooh, I used to watch you wrestle.

00:14:37.220 I used to watch you wrestle.

00:14:42.920 So it just goes to show you can work your whole life doing something and somebody just, they don't know.

00:14:50.080 People don't know.

00:14:51.540 They think you wrestle.

00:14:52.920 You know, you could be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and somebody thinks you are Coco Beware, right?

00:15:01.260 Somebody thinks you should have a bird on your shoulder, you know?

00:15:05.660 It's just, it is what it is.

00:15:07.340 No shade to any of those men.

00:15:09.140 So anyway, that's the group, dude.

00:15:11.640 So now I'm getting on.

00:15:12.940 So you had to go outside.

00:15:16.220 I asked the people at the front desk of the Willard Hotel.

00:15:19.680 Nice, bro.

00:15:20.580 Them bitches, damn.

00:15:22.480 Like, it was old, too.

00:15:24.160 Like, they had ghosts, I bet.

00:15:25.420 And even the ghosts would have a fucking wallet on them.

00:15:27.660 That's how rich people, they, you see a ghost in there and he'd be, you know, he'd be like, ooh, I'm rich, motherfucker.

00:15:40.900 He wasn't even scaring people.

00:15:42.440 He's like, that's from a fucking poor ghost, homie.

00:15:44.820 He was at the strip club, dude, you know?

00:15:48.340 So, but, okay, so we get to the back of the bus.

00:15:52.860 We sit down.

00:15:55.260 Oh, so as we're going to get outside to get onto the bus, that's, like, leaving the hotel.

00:16:01.220 We go out of the area.

00:16:03.720 They had, now they have, like, Secret Service and everything is very, show your ID.

00:16:07.760 Like, every 30 feet, you're showing your ID to somebody, letting somebody look at you, look at you.

00:16:13.240 You know, some people touching your glands, the sides of your neck or whatever.

00:16:19.000 Somebody's fucking, you know, somebody's asking you who your mother is, you know, that kind of shit.

00:16:24.620 So, yeah, there's just somebody, like, every 30 feet, you're clocking in with somebody.

00:16:28.640 Every 30 feet, you're showing your credentials, showing that wristband, arm, neck brace, everything.

00:16:35.160 They had all kind of wrist brace, neck brace, back brace, everything they had, arm band, neck band, fucking,

00:16:41.380 and they had so many things you had to show to get, keep going, to keep moving on.

00:16:46.940 So, get on the bus.

00:16:48.080 It's a full bus.

00:16:49.500 There was a young lady and her husband right in front of me who were from Louisiana.

00:16:52.460 That was really cool.

00:16:54.700 She was, she knew my friend Mandy that I used to date, and we was friends.

00:16:59.080 It was her friend.

00:17:01.440 I'm sitting next to Danica Patrick from the race car.

00:17:06.580 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:07.600 So, you know how I am, bro.

00:17:09.140 I'm trying to meet a wife, dude.

00:17:10.680 She's got a man.

00:17:11.780 No judgment.

00:17:13.240 But, yeah, it was great.

00:17:14.920 So, I sat by her, and she was awesome, dude.

00:17:18.500 We're just climbing around, having fun.

00:17:21.020 Oh, I forgot to say this.

00:17:24.180 So, right before we start to get into the bus, that's when Conor McGregor's rolls up, bro.

00:17:30.540 Conor McGregor's, dude.

00:17:32.380 And this is the fuck, you know what I'm saying?

00:17:33.860 And this guy comes up, and his suit, it was like they perfectly fitted, brother.

00:17:39.840 Like he just fucking, just fucking, oh, like they just, like the suit had just been stitched right around him just a second before he'd walked into our view.

00:17:49.260 And he was just fresh.

00:17:51.600 He was just fucking like he'd been just drinking Irish Spring soap water.

00:17:56.120 You know, he just looked like he was just fresh out the tap, you know.

00:18:00.740 And he was energetic, and he rolls right up, you know.

00:18:05.040 How you going, lad?

00:18:06.480 Eh, class, class, lad.

00:18:09.040 You know, just nice, great to meet you, you know.

00:18:11.640 Just positive.

00:18:12.440 His energy was just a lot of energy.

00:18:15.200 Like a lot of, and it was, honestly, it was a lot of good energy that he rolled up with.

00:18:20.360 Just in right there to the Paul boys.

00:18:22.380 And he didn't know, I guess him and the Pauls had had confliction online, and I didn't know it.

00:18:29.280 I didn't know that.

00:18:30.420 You don't, I'm not, you don't see me in all the gossip columns and all of that.

00:18:33.940 But they'd had confliction online, grown men, arguing on the internet they'd been doing it.

00:18:40.000 And no judgment, man.

00:18:41.940 But, yeah, he just comes in with his energy.

00:18:44.620 He had his energy up like that.

00:18:47.060 And he just had his energy like that.

00:18:48.980 Like he'd just found all the pots of gold they'd ever hidden.

00:18:53.780 Eh, lad.

00:18:55.220 Fair play, boys.

00:18:57.900 And that's how he rolled up, you know.

00:19:00.760 Like the fucking, it was almost like Notre Dame.

00:19:03.960 It's like if, he was the guy on the little helmet or whatever.

00:19:08.820 You know, on the hat.

00:19:10.240 He was the Notre Dame guy.

00:19:12.180 But he was twice as bad as that fucking little mascot guy they'd had.

00:19:17.400 He could just fucking, it's like he had a thousand Joe Joices in each one of his hands.

00:19:23.940 And he just had the fucking legs strong as the Moors, you know.

00:19:30.480 And what are Moors?

00:19:31.380 Let me look it up.

00:19:32.160 I think I'm just yelling stuff out of my head.

00:19:35.240 Where is Ireland?

00:19:35.820 A group of people with surname Moore who originated from Ireland.

00:19:40.460 Oh, well.

00:19:41.980 Moors.

00:19:43.680 I thought it was, I thought it was like a thing.

00:19:45.920 Moors, Moors, the cliffs of Moor.

00:19:50.400 Oh, there you go.

00:19:51.460 And he had legs like the cliffs of Moor.

00:19:55.160 And he rolled up in his head.

00:19:56.720 He said, he just had the energy of a fucking.

00:20:00.640 He had the energy.

00:20:01.680 He had his, he just was full of electricity around.

00:20:04.980 He really was.

00:20:05.840 He had it.

00:20:06.440 He just had, he just a, it was a, it was a, he had a voraciousness.

00:20:10.980 You know, his aura was at about six, seven, 7,000, 8,000.

00:20:15.520 And I'm not even sure what the exchange rate of that is.

00:20:18.340 And, um, in British pounds.

00:20:21.540 I think they use them there.

00:20:23.860 What money do they use in Ireland?

00:20:29.040 Oh.

00:20:29.360 Euros.

00:20:32.820 Yeah.

00:20:34.080 Oh, yeah.

00:20:35.540 It's euros or minors, buddy.

00:20:37.900 We're going to figure it out.

00:20:39.420 But anyway, so, so that's how he rolled up a lot of electricity.

00:20:42.560 But even just, dude, he knew my name, said something nice.

00:20:46.140 So I was like, you know, I was very just, you know, I was like, holy shit, dude.

00:20:53.120 So then we were, we get on the bus, right?

00:20:58.060 So I'm sitting next to Danica Patrick.

00:21:00.060 Okay.

00:21:01.300 Um, we're sitting in front of Evander Holyfield, dude, you know, and people used to watch him

00:21:08.720 wrestle and he is a legend.

00:21:11.420 We're on this bus.

00:21:12.500 And then, um, John Shahidi, Kyle from Nelk and Kyle Forgard or Forgard, Forgard, not sure.

00:21:23.740 Is it Forgard?

00:21:24.880 Forgard.

00:21:26.680 Kyle, they call him Kyle.

00:21:28.320 Obviously, I can tell why, because people, because it's after that, it's fucking, you're

00:21:31.840 bothering people.

00:21:32.740 But Kyle from Nelk, right?

00:21:34.380 Who looked, who looked like he was going to court to not get in trouble for a serious

00:21:39.200 crime, like a business crime.

00:21:40.540 Like he looked dashing.

00:21:42.820 He really did.

00:21:43.380 The man looked dashing.

00:21:45.520 Um, and, oh, and then behind them, Jay, uh, oh, and then.

00:21:53.420 Um, Alex Bruschewicz, John Shahidi.

00:21:57.580 Um, and then in the back, it was Jake Paul's Logan Paul behind them.

00:22:04.460 Pam, Logan's mom, and Connor McGregor, the fucking Cotterati kid of Ireland.

00:22:13.240 And it was just, uh, and it was awkward.

00:22:18.940 You could see also on everybody's face, because I guess there'd been issues between, um, the

00:22:23.960 Paul's and the McGregor's.

00:22:25.800 They'd been having beef online or whatever.

00:22:27.500 And so, uh, they'd been beefing.

00:22:29.640 And so there was issues there and I didn't know it, but so it was just awkward, you know?

00:22:33.340 So I think there was some energy there.

00:22:35.760 Uh, but it was also people was, uh, they said fair play to each other.

00:22:41.000 Both of those sides said fair play to each other, boys.

00:22:43.680 And we're going to have a good day.

00:22:45.240 And we're here for something bigger than, bigger than, bigger than us, you know, for, uh, to

00:22:50.200 witness just a country that has freedom.

00:22:51.760 Um, and so, uh, the bus took off, took a while.

00:22:55.920 We've probably sat there 40 minutes, a lot of laughter and fun stuff.

00:23:00.020 Um, you know, just crazy, dude.

00:23:02.160 I mean, I can't even believe I'm sitting next to, hold on.

00:23:07.540 I'm sitting by Evander Holyfield, right?

00:23:11.420 And you could tell he can feel like these, these other boxers in the back, but we know

00:23:15.620 who the fucking dog is, you know?

00:23:18.800 And I looked at him like, I'm on your team, brother.

00:23:22.940 You know what I'm saying?

00:23:23.440 If shit gets fucking risky out here, you know, if things get crazy, you know, then, uh, then

00:23:30.220 you, you know what I'm saying?

00:23:30.960 If he, and he's, you know, he's getting up in years, but if you got to even use me as

00:23:33.960 a white Walker just to help you get out of here, mate, let us, whatever we got to do,

00:23:38.860 man.

00:23:39.400 Um, so, but yeah, but I, I, I just, I truly can't believe that I'm on this, you know, it's

00:23:44.720 just, it's a, you know, do you find yourself in certain moments where you're like,

00:23:48.660 this is pretty crazy that you're in a moment, right?

00:23:52.440 And it's just regular people for sure.

00:23:54.840 But it, you're like, this is like, who did we trick or whatever to, um, get in here?

00:24:02.940 You know, like, how did we, I don't know.

00:24:06.220 Um, I don't know.

00:24:08.140 And we didn't trick anybody, but there's a part, there's just like, yeah, you're like,

00:24:12.220 what are we, you know, one of these things is not like the other.

00:24:17.260 It just seemed like, I don't know.

00:24:19.500 And I'm not trying to say that like in a self pity or like pity me way.

00:24:22.260 I just are like, Oh, I don't deserve to be there.

00:24:24.700 I'm just like, it just was fucking kind of a surprising moment.

00:24:28.340 We're all going to a presidential inauguration.

00:24:30.620 I don't know these people, do you know?

00:24:32.340 I don't know.

00:24:33.120 I mean, I know John Shahidi really well.

00:24:35.040 He's actually a close friend of mine, um, who runs happy dad.

00:24:39.600 And I know, um, who else was it?

00:24:44.520 I, well, I paid for one of Evander's fights before, for sure.

00:24:49.600 When they had early pay-per-view, I know.

00:24:51.260 And, um, and I paid for one of the, uh, Paul's, uh, fights, uh, and I met Jake and Logan,

00:24:59.480 but I don't know him, you know?

00:25:01.640 So anyway, there we all are.

00:25:03.720 We're on a bus.

00:25:04.640 We get over by the Capitol and they say, as soon as the thing ends, we have six minutes

00:25:10.640 to get out of the venue and back onto the bus before they're going to shut down certain

00:25:16.460 roads.

00:25:17.820 And that was one of the biggest things all along the outside.

00:25:21.440 When I've been walking towards the hotel and everything, it's probably 10, uh, 10 to 30

00:25:26.460 degrees or 40 degrees or 34, six, seven degrees, right?

00:25:30.600 It's not a ton of degrees, but it's not, it's not like no degrees, but it's like, uh, some

00:25:36.980 degrees, you know what I'm saying?

00:25:38.600 So, but there's military everywhere.

00:25:43.040 Every fucking you, even like, like there'd be military, there's like SWAT team, um, you

00:25:49.720 know, police, sheriffs, um, undercover, like, uh, uh, Marine, um, every, there was people

00:26:00.100 in high, there was like, like, I went to use a mailbox.

00:26:02.940 I opened it up.

00:26:03.380 It's a fucking, uh, military guy in disguise dressed up like a, um, male thing.

00:26:11.280 Like, ah, fuck, you know, um, he still took two of the letters for me.

00:26:15.820 So thank you.

00:26:17.500 Um, but yeah, everything you just couldn't, you got to be careful.

00:26:20.760 There was military everywhere.

00:26:22.340 So you couldn't piss outside kind of vibes, you know?

00:26:25.700 Um, anyway, so we're driving, but all the roads, there's like barricades everywhere.

00:26:29.960 There's like trucks that they've just brought into park at all these intersections all around

00:26:35.140 this capital area.

00:26:36.540 Like, like any corner you would pass on the way in.

00:26:39.960 Cause we'd circled the entire thing, trying to find a way to get closer to this hotel.

00:26:43.680 So I hadn't had to walk just cause it was so brisk out.

00:26:48.160 So the thing, but there was, some of them had cement barricades.

00:26:52.260 Some of them just had like a big trucks.

00:26:54.200 Some of them had SU, um, war, little war trucks or whatever.

00:27:00.260 It's like a little tank, but with, um, and they made them for regular people, but they

00:27:04.940 were fucking sad.

00:27:06.240 It was like, uh, H hummers.

00:27:08.600 They had those real hummers.

00:27:09.940 They had, um, they just, there was things stopping everywhere and there was military

00:27:17.340 personnel all over or police, uh, personnel all over.

00:27:21.580 So anyway, the bus ride takes a while.

00:27:23.360 You got to go through these certain streets.

00:27:24.980 They've had these big barricades set up and then you have to kind of like turn the corner

00:27:28.240 and then straighten your bus out to make it through, um, these huge, like kind of cage

00:27:34.120 steel, uh, walls that they've put up.

00:27:36.580 So the bus can just fit right down the middle of the walls.

00:27:39.300 Like the full intersection is the full street is closed and it's just been narrowed to,

00:27:43.660 um, this one, uh, like the middle lane kind of it.

00:27:48.060 And so that took a while, like doing different turns.

00:27:51.460 Um, anyway, we pull up outside of the Capitol, probably pretty far off.

00:27:56.860 I'm not sure.

00:27:57.700 Maybe 400 yards.

00:27:59.100 We walk, we start walking in a beautiful day, beautiful.

00:28:02.600 I mean like freezing cold, but just picturesque.

00:28:05.860 The sun's hitting you.

00:28:07.060 You can see the Capitol, the American flag.

00:28:09.840 And, um, it was exciting.

00:28:12.480 All the officers, it seemed, they're all wearing like this, the hot, the hot, the cold, um,

00:28:17.900 like head gear.

00:28:19.180 You can just see their eyes or whatever and just their gun or whatever.

00:28:22.860 And that's, and, um, yeah, they look like all like kind of dark snowmen, like kind of

00:28:29.120 like black snowmen, like a little bit.

00:28:31.100 Cause it was just, a lot of them was wearing SWAT gear tactical.

00:28:33.940 They had everything.

00:28:34.840 They had a fucking gun, handcuff, uh, Billy club, um, uh, Ray bands or whatever, you know,

00:28:43.960 just, uh, pepper spray, salt spray.

00:28:47.360 Um, just fucking, you know, you didn't even know what was going.

00:28:50.000 Just, you know, one of them would fucking just throw a grenade full of, uh, um, lemon

00:28:56.840 pepper, you know, if it got, if shit got really bad.

00:28:59.660 Uh, so anyway, that's, you have all the, all these officers and everything you go inside.

00:29:03.500 Let me think, right.

00:29:04.640 So at the bottom, oh, there's all these bikes.

00:29:07.000 They'd parked all these bicycles and stuff kind of to make it like you had to go past

00:29:12.100 them.

00:29:12.280 And it was a little bit of like a gauntlet kind of, it was just odd.

00:29:15.980 The different things that they put in place to kind of make it odd to get into places.

00:29:21.000 So you get inside and then we walked along a hallway and then you start to see military

00:29:28.500 like Marines, um, army colonels, generals, um, uh, sergeants, staff, sergeant, um, sergeant

00:29:42.720 pepper.

00:29:43.180 I think it had everybody in that bitch, right?

00:29:45.540 They had, everybody was, there was, and they were standing at attention, you know, and some

00:29:49.100 were at not attention, you know, the lazy ones or whatever.

00:29:52.520 I don't know who they were, but they, um, you know, and some people were getting photos.

00:29:56.480 I mean, if you're rolling with Conor McGregor's, they, you know, people's fucking topped in

00:30:00.660 lot, you know, that's the most violent, tallest leprechaun they ever made right there.

00:30:05.760 He's a savage man.

00:30:07.060 And so, yeah, and you got him and the Pauls.

00:30:09.220 And so, um, it was kind of nice cause I, you know, I was just, uh, under the radar.

00:30:14.200 They're all taller and bigger.

00:30:15.560 And so they have more, um, excitement.

00:30:19.680 I just kind of was, you know, um, I was just, you know, I was kind of in awe of the situation.

00:30:28.460 My buddy, um, the wildfires got his home, but I'll tell you this, he had a fish tank,

00:30:34.500 uh, and the fish in it survived, which is pretty unbelievable.

00:30:42.100 But, um, that's, that's the, you know, that's just the power of nature and water.

00:30:48.760 It's been estimated that the damages so far from the California fires total more than $250 billion.

00:30:56.780 The loss of life is immeasurable and the state and city are still in shock.

00:31:01.360 There are claims that insurance companies canceled thousands of homeowners fire policies

00:31:06.200 in the months leading up to the fires.

00:31:09.340 Were those cancellations legal?

00:31:12.280 Could this catastrophe have been avoided?

00:31:14.600 If the wildfires were caused by negligence, someone must be held responsible.

00:33:15.580 So anyway, we go to get—oh, and once they started to open the doors,

00:33:19.220 it was—some areas were kind of first-come, first-served seating.

00:33:22.820 That's what it felt like.

00:33:23.860 So it was kind of rushed.

00:33:25.080 It was like on the—like last Friday or whatever,

00:33:27.660 when you got—you know, when they got a bunch of—

00:33:30.420 you know, they got a bunch of kind of basketball wives

00:33:33.480 fighting for those TVs or whatever, like it's for, like, thanks—

00:33:38.680 whenever Christmas shopping starts, you know what I'm talking about?

00:33:41.060 So they had that—it was that kind of energy.

00:33:43.240 Everybody's running to get a seat type of energy.

00:33:46.380 And we weren't running, but we were kind of keeping a quick pace, you know?

00:33:49.300 But then we got up in there and we sat down

00:33:53.700 and they had also with us or by us or whatever

00:33:59.440 was Sam Altman, and he did AI, right?

00:34:03.420 And we'd love to get to chat with him and learn about

00:34:05.700 how the world's going to fall apart.

00:34:09.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:34:09.620 We got to at least learn about it a little bit.

00:34:12.660 And then Sam Altman, Alexander Wang, right?

00:34:17.980 And I don't know a lot of Wangs.

00:34:19.560 I don't know any—okay, there he is.

00:34:24.460 Alexander Wang or Vong.

00:34:25.900 I'm not sure how they do it in—he's New Mexican.

00:34:31.540 So he's kind of the, you know, he's kind of the Asian John Jones,

00:34:36.660 if you will, sort of.

00:34:37.500 He—but he went to MIT.

00:34:41.140 He's an interesting guy.

00:34:44.120 Anyway, he's there.

00:34:46.040 There was all—everybody else was governors, elected officials,

00:34:49.240 rich people, like, you know, people that had cattle or gold,

00:34:54.740 you know, or whatever.

00:34:57.080 And some people don't even call it gold.

00:34:58.820 You know, at first, a lot of times they called it f***ing rocks,

00:35:02.000 which is a crazy thing, but I could easily see people calling it that,

00:35:06.400 and that's sad.

00:35:08.060 Um, anyway, uh, what am I f***ing talking about?

00:35:13.140 So we all sit down, right?

00:35:14.320 We all sit down.

00:35:15.220 And it's a wait, bro.

00:35:16.440 It is like, you know, and there's a lot of military.

00:35:19.560 You got to meet a lot of military folks.

00:35:21.360 So just to see all of them in their dress garb, you know,

00:35:25.340 I mean, that was—that was probably one of the coolest things.

00:35:27.820 You're in the Capitol, and there's all—everybody's in their garb,

00:35:31.020 and it's just very, um, regal, very regal looking.

00:35:36.160 And, uh, yeah.

00:35:38.860 And people were amped, and there was fun stuff.

00:35:40.960 And then every now and then you'd shake somebody's hand,

00:35:42.940 and they had a wet hand or whatever, and you're like,

00:35:44.700 oh, f***, you know, somebody get this fellow a bag of flour or somebody,

00:35:49.440 or just get him one of those, um, uh, pool chalks,

00:35:53.580 and let him just chalk his hand up before he shakes again,

00:35:56.840 before he meets somebody, you know.

00:35:59.000 Um, but, yeah.

00:36:02.640 And then so that—that kind of happened.

00:36:03.920 We sat there for a while, probably 30 minutes.

00:36:06.460 And then, uh, and so we all slipped off and, uh,

00:36:10.320 just slunk out and got into a special area beneath some stairwells

00:36:14.920 where a lot of the military was back there,

00:36:16.880 and they had—they was drinking, uh, chicken broth,

00:36:20.080 hot chocolate and coffee.

00:36:22.060 And, um, the government had given them a little bag with a banana in it.

00:36:25.640 You know, you're like, dear God,

00:36:27.220 these people are putting their lives on the line, right?

00:36:31.240 They're here to protect the president, and we're fucking—

00:36:35.720 some of the—I mean, and some of these bananas had been—

00:36:39.720 I don't want to say they had been abused or whatever by their owner or whatever,

00:36:43.280 but they had been trafficked.

00:36:45.260 I don't want to say—or I don't know how they—

00:36:46.260 but some of the bananas had, um, you know, they're not, you know,

00:36:52.260 they're—they're not going to be put back in circulation.

00:36:55.520 I was surprised some of them were still in circulation.

00:36:58.180 And, uh, anyway, um, but the military personnel didn't care,

00:37:01.860 and, uh, and that was kind of a blast, too.

00:37:04.520 Just—that was probably the highlight of the whole inauguration

00:37:07.300 was seeing all the military folks from all different branches,

00:37:10.200 from police to, um, like, uh, Army, Navy, SWAT, uh, sweat.

00:37:20.460 There was just some gay guy wearing a sweatshirt that had sweat on it.

00:37:24.800 Um, who else?

00:37:26.540 They had—even Stolen Valor.

00:37:28.240 Even the people out there in Stolen Valor, you were like, you know, you were—it was an honor.

00:37:33.060 All of that, just—that was something great.

00:37:35.760 Sorry, this story's getting long.

00:37:37.240 Um, so, anyway, we got over there, and we're just—we hadn't eaten any breakfast, right?

00:37:43.220 I hadn't, and so you just—I'm just slurping chicken broth and slurping hot cocoa, you know, and—

00:37:48.400 and, anyway, so that was, like, a nice excursion from sitting there.

00:37:50.900 We go back to our seats, and my chair was bad.

00:37:53.780 I had a bad chair.

00:37:55.140 The chair had been—I don't know.

00:37:57.960 It was probably made in Cherna or whatever.

00:38:00.600 It was been one of those, you know, probably a chair.

00:38:03.620 Um, yeah, it was a chair that shouldn't be allowed to chair.

00:38:09.320 They should check these chairs, right?

00:38:10.600 They should breathalyze and whatever they should do, but they—whatever this chair, you know,

00:38:16.080 probably knew somebody or whatever and got in the building.

00:38:18.760 Anyway, it was kind of slagging a little.

00:38:21.820 My chair was kind of like—so when I sit down, I had that fucking lean on me.

00:38:25.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:38:27.680 That shoulder lean.

00:38:29.260 That shoulder lean.

00:38:30.540 And so a lot of—and suddenly, as soon as I sat like that, a lot of black people kind

00:38:35.780 of nodded at me, because once you have that lean on your brother, it's a little bit of

00:38:39.380 a kind of urban respect going on, you know?

00:38:42.280 So I was like, okay, I'm in.

00:38:44.100 I'm here.

00:38:45.000 So we sit down.

00:38:45.900 The congregation starts.

00:38:47.400 The whole congregation—the whole evening starts.

00:38:50.280 The inauguration starts, and it's very nice, man.

00:38:52.700 I mean, it's just, you know, you're witnessing a piece of history, and you get to be there.

00:38:56.340 And it definitely felt like a lot of very regal people, and everybody was dressed very well,

00:39:04.820 and just fancy.

00:39:07.040 It was a diverse group, it felt like.

00:39:11.640 I don't know if that's true.

00:39:13.080 That's crazy to say that part.

00:39:14.780 But it was—it was nice.

00:39:19.780 It was really nice, and just like, yeah, I just felt lucky to be there, just to see it.

00:39:26.200 You know, I mean, I was saying this this weekend on Twitter, but, you know, some countries,

00:39:30.260 they can't vote.

00:39:30.920 They don't have voting.

00:39:32.000 You can't go vote.

00:39:33.700 You just live.

00:39:34.640 And you feel like you don't have a say in how—in the template that you operate in,

00:39:41.540 or the universe that you're set up in.

00:39:44.380 You don't have a—you don't have a hand to raise ever.

00:39:50.740 But, yeah, so it was just—it was wild to see that.

00:39:55.080 It was wild to witness it.

00:39:56.940 And then just the little things, just like everybody just watching, like, all the little things at the inauguration,

00:40:01.800 just the little moments of little glances from the different people.

00:40:05.340 And it's like this whole changing of the guard, and it's like this tag team.

00:40:09.340 It's like tagging in, you know, instead of tagging in your partner, it's like tagging in your opponent,

00:40:14.540 which is just such a wild thing to witness in a sport, if you look at politics, almost like a sport.

00:40:21.440 And so we sat there.

00:40:22.640 Everything was going pretty smooth.

00:40:23.680 And then at some point, my chair broke, right?

00:40:26.920 The chair broke.

00:40:29.120 I fell.

00:40:29.920 It fell.

00:40:30.440 I just—it fell, right?

00:40:31.800 I fell out.

00:40:33.200 I don't know what to say it.

00:40:34.400 The chair, like, might have—I don't know what happened, right?

00:40:38.240 But the chair fell.

00:40:39.940 And I fell.

00:40:40.720 And it was like, oh, dude, it was the worst, right?

00:40:43.760 It was embarrassing.

00:40:46.100 Because at first I thought, oh, people thought I did this, right?

00:40:49.240 Like, I don't do—I don't like physical stuff.

00:40:53.660 I don't like that.

00:40:54.980 Like, I'm not good at that type of stuff, falling out of a chair, that type of shit, right?

00:40:58.920 That's for fucking clowns or shitty mimes, right?

00:41:03.100 Like, yeah, that's for shitty mimes.

00:41:05.580 That's shitty mime type shit.

00:41:06.820 I don't do that.

00:41:07.900 So the chair broke.

00:41:09.520 And then I was like, oh, man.

00:41:11.520 And Sam Altman looked at me.

00:41:13.440 The guy who made AI, bro, he looks at me like—I was like, oh, God.

00:41:19.580 That dude's never going to come on the podcast.

00:41:23.760 I was like, dude, design me a chair right now, bro.

00:41:27.020 I was like, design me some way to get out of this embarrassment.

00:41:29.760 So that was kind of strange.

00:41:33.400 And then I got up and—and anyway, the thing carried on.

00:41:37.920 We snuck off one more time to get some more stuff because it got long.

00:41:42.040 You know, some of the benediction got a little—you know, they were up there rattling and shit.

00:41:47.640 And then Trump came through.

00:41:48.940 He gave a very long speech in there.

00:41:51.040 You know, I think addressed a lot of different things in there that—it was kind of like the B-sides.

00:41:58.660 Like, things he maybe didn't want to say in the actual main part, but he said in there.

00:42:05.300 And then on the way back to the hotel, our bus kept turning off.

00:42:11.460 It was experience and breakage or whatever.

00:42:14.240 Or it was broken.

00:42:16.240 So we got out and just walked, like, the last few blocks.

00:42:19.600 And that was kind of hectic.

00:42:21.040 Just because some of those people are pretty recognizable.

00:42:28.520 And, you know, just a lot of people were coming up pictures and videoing and ask, you know, people from a different place.

00:42:35.440 It was just a lot.

00:42:36.180 It was like a lot of energy.

00:42:38.180 And it was kind of a little scary, you know.

00:42:40.220 Like, I don't have security.

00:42:41.880 I'm not saying I need security.

00:42:43.120 But you're just out there.

00:42:43.860 You don't know what people are—you know what I'm saying?

00:42:45.360 You don't know.

00:42:45.840 You just don't know what's going on.

00:42:48.080 So that was a little crazy.

00:42:49.560 We got back to the hotel and, yeah, went home, went to my hotel, which is maybe a mile away or something.

00:43:00.140 Took a nap for a few hours and then went to the ball later on.

00:43:03.880 And there was some issues about the chair.

00:43:08.780 You know, I ended up like—well, here, let me tell about the ball.

00:43:12.620 So the ball—I guess they had a bunch of different balls.

00:43:16.180 And I had got a—I got a ticket to one ball, right?

00:43:18.820 And it was very nice.

00:43:19.640 It was called the Starlight Ball.

00:43:21.380 And it was beautiful in there.

00:43:22.440 And I got dropped off.

00:43:24.060 He had to get dropped off of blocks away.

00:43:26.100 And then they had a very long, like, snake walk that you had to go on to get to the door.

00:43:30.760 And it was probably maybe—probably a 20-minute walk, right?

00:43:34.340 And so it was cold out.

00:43:36.240 It was probably 25 degrees or something.

00:43:38.300 So you're walking out there.

00:43:39.120 And I didn't bring a coat, right?

00:43:40.360 Because I didn't know—you know, I didn't think, I guess.

00:43:45.960 And so I didn't think about a coat, and I didn't have a coat.

00:43:48.760 And so we finally get up to the front, and they let you in.

00:43:53.780 And it was beautiful.

00:43:54.900 You know, it's nice.

00:43:55.840 It's elegant.

00:43:56.780 The fucking—they got curtains.

00:43:59.080 They got carpet.

00:43:59.900 The curtains were—some curtains was 80 feet long.

00:44:03.340 90, 45, 75 feet long, baby.

00:44:07.780 They had curtains that had carpet on them.

00:44:10.080 Like, these bitches, they had, you know, they had everything in there.

00:44:13.480 They had a—the craziest thing I saw, they had a ceiling fan.

00:44:15.840 It must have been 150 feet up in the air, dude.

00:44:19.000 I was like, what?

00:44:20.600 How would you do it?

00:44:22.560 And so I kind of was, like, looking for the switch for that low-key for a while.

00:44:27.320 Let me see.

00:44:28.000 Inside of the ball, I got to see some people that I knew.

00:44:30.540 Joe Rogan was in there.

00:44:32.460 Mayor—oh, Ernie Johnson.

00:44:36.500 Who's the guy?

00:44:38.200 Speaker of the House, maybe?

00:44:40.460 Mike Johnson.

00:44:41.280 Mike Johnson, maybe.

00:44:42.820 Got to talk to him.

00:44:43.580 He's from Shreveport, Louisiana.

00:44:44.980 He had a great sense of humor.

00:44:46.400 We got to joke around a little bit.

00:44:47.620 He had a few of his children with him.

00:44:48.780 Got to talk with them.

00:44:50.560 Wayne Gretzky was in there, the great one.

00:44:53.060 I saw him.

00:44:53.800 Dude, Wayne Gretzky had lost his tooth in there.

00:44:57.760 My tooth got chipped, right?

00:44:59.820 My tooth got chipped or something on a hard appetizer, right?

00:45:05.400 So Wayne's in there.

00:45:07.060 I told him that.

00:45:08.460 He goes, like that.

00:45:11.260 Showed me his mouth.

00:45:12.160 He's missing a whole tooth, dude.

00:45:14.560 You know, runaway train, never going back.

00:45:18.320 He had that bitch just gone, dude.

00:45:20.260 I mean, he's a hockey player, so yeah.

00:45:23.180 But then they're like looking on the floor for the tooth.

00:45:25.980 So for probably 10 minutes, I'm helping him and his wife and somebody else.

00:45:29.960 Like a—I don't know if it was a dentist or whatever, but a dental assistant, basically.

00:45:33.680 I think it was just a dude that liked guys or whatever.

00:45:35.680 But he was trying to help look for it.

00:45:38.060 And then—so we're looking for Wayne Gretzky's tooth, okay?

00:45:41.660 And I think he's like, yeah, I think he—I think he—at one point I thought he said he had a couple—he usually kept a couple extra on him, you know?

00:45:49.540 Because this is a hockey guy.

00:45:50.840 These guys, you know, you'll go to bed.

00:45:53.120 They'll have their wedding ring and a tooth on the nightstand, you know?

00:45:55.720 But that's just the kind of guys they are, you know?

00:45:59.920 So, yeah, he just had that empty net up top, and it was—but it was hilarious, dude.

00:46:04.680 We laughed, and we took a nice photo together, me, him, Mike Johnson.

00:46:10.840 And then I started getting through some social anxiety in there.

00:46:13.480 That was a little bit hectic.

00:46:15.780 And what else was it?

00:46:17.360 I mean, it's just like a couple thousand people.

00:46:20.580 You know, and you can't be like, hey, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth, you know?

00:46:23.760 Like, so I would do that a couple times.

00:46:26.040 I was like, yeah, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth, you know?

00:46:28.560 And I think a lot of people thought it was a euphemism for something or whatever.

00:46:31.400 It was like a—kind of like something like that.

00:46:35.440 But, yeah, anyway, we—I don't know if they found it or not.

00:46:39.620 I got to touch base with them, but what a legend, dude.

00:46:42.700 What a legend, bro.

00:46:44.920 That was awesome.

00:46:45.800 So that kind of made my night, I think.

00:46:50.220 What else?

00:46:50.720 I saw Tony Hinchcliffe and Jeff Ross, and we joked around for about a half hour over by the desserts.

00:46:55.980 The things that I did not enjoy, to be honest with you, no judgment, but these are just things that what it was like.

00:47:01.340 There was only probably 25 chairs in the whole place for probably, I don't know, maybe it's 2,000 people in there or something, 1,600 people.

00:47:11.140 Right?

00:47:11.600 Is that the right amount of people?

00:47:12.780 Maybe 1,000 people.

00:47:14.980 So they only probably—they might have had 40 chairs, right?

00:47:18.200 So there was—it was like, if you saw a chair, it was like—it was—it got squid gamey in there, dude.

00:47:24.880 It was very—if you even hurt an ass cheek, leave a fucking seat.

00:47:29.360 You could hear that—you could hear it at 40 paces.

00:47:32.300 You could hear an ass cheek, leave a—leave a seat.

00:47:37.180 See people rush in, fly in.

00:47:40.700 Just for that damn 18 square inches of real estate, boy.

00:47:44.380 For that ass real estate, maybe that chair.

00:47:46.540 Who else?

00:47:49.880 Sean O'Brien, I saw, the Teamsters Union president, who came on to the podcast once.

00:47:55.300 Who else did I get to see or not see?

00:47:57.320 Oh, Ben Shapiro, I saw.

00:47:58.560 I didn't get to talk to him.

00:48:00.480 Jake and Logan, I saw.

00:48:04.080 I'm leaving some people out, but it was just a lot, and I was kind of burnt out.

00:48:07.180 There was just like a lot of meeting people, and it was just a lot of energy.

00:48:11.340 So then at one point, I ended up leaving, and at the same time, Lex Friedman was leaving.

00:48:16.520 He does podcasting.

00:48:17.480 I'd never seen him before.

00:48:20.400 And we talked.

00:48:21.440 We walked for about 20 minutes and then caught an Uber for about 15 minutes and just laughed, had a good chat.

00:48:27.500 But yeah, and that was it.

00:48:33.280 That was the whole deal.

00:48:34.220 I didn't get to see.

00:48:35.720 I didn't get to meet anybody of the cabinet or anything like that.

00:48:39.280 And I didn't get to see Barron Trump.

00:48:44.400 I didn't get to see Barron, bro.

00:48:45.740 B-Dawg, bro.

00:48:46.580 You hear me?

00:48:48.420 I didn't get to see Barron Trump.

00:48:50.460 That would have been something nice to meet that man.

00:48:53.920 That's a young man you want to meet.

00:48:56.940 You know what I'm saying?

00:48:57.760 He just.

00:48:59.980 He's that.

00:49:03.140 You know, he just is.

00:49:04.440 He's that freaking seer.

00:49:05.520 He's that seer, baby.

00:49:08.980 He's the Lord's lookout, baby.

00:49:10.700 You know what I'm saying?

00:49:11.280 He is.

00:49:12.360 He's that crow's nest of society right there.

00:49:14.980 And so, yeah, that was probably a bummer.

00:49:18.880 I didn't get to see Bobby Kennedy Jr., who's a friend of mine.

00:49:23.120 That would have been really nice.

00:49:25.720 I thought Melania looked really nice and gangster at the same time.

00:49:30.120 Beautiful gangster vibe.

00:49:31.680 I got to see J.D. Vance's wife.

00:49:36.100 Just see her.

00:49:36.920 That's really beautiful.

00:49:37.840 A lot of they.

00:49:38.980 I think she's the first Indian second lady in time ever that we've ever had.

00:49:44.380 Indian American.

00:49:46.080 And if you've never met an Indian person, go meet one this year.

00:49:50.060 I say that wholeheartedly.

00:49:51.620 I met a couple Indian people last year and I'm still enjoying the benefits of that.

00:49:57.140 And it's great.

00:49:59.160 That's been great.

00:49:59.980 So if you don't, haven't met someone like that, that's a great person to meet.

00:50:05.520 What else?

00:50:06.100 There was some, oh, Tim Kennedy I got to see.

00:50:11.340 I just met him a week before.

00:50:12.940 And I wish, I couldn't find his number.

00:50:15.320 I was going to try to meet up with him.

00:50:17.440 It was so hard to go from one thing to the next.

00:50:19.420 I was like, once you got somewhere, you were kind of there.

00:50:22.260 There was just a lot.

00:50:23.160 It was very tough to kind of move about in the city.

00:50:27.760 What else?

00:50:28.520 You all know I like to keep things cool, even in the winter.

00:50:34.620 And nothing is cooler than a blue cube cold plunge.

00:50:38.900 I'm fortunate enough to have one at home.

00:50:41.340 And let me tell you, it's like baptizing your soul, baby.

00:50:44.680 Get in that little crispy bucket, baby.

00:50:46.980 It gets rid of them demons we all have and makes you feel great for seven or eight hours

00:50:52.080 afterwards.

00:50:52.760 It's good.

00:50:54.760 My buddy, Thomas Schiffer, the genius behind blue cube.

00:50:57.860 And I go way back.

00:50:58.880 And he just launched a pre-sale for their new stand-up cold plunges.

00:51:03.200 Wow.

00:51:04.020 These things are the Cadillacs of cold plunge therapy.

00:51:08.140 American-made, full immersion, weatherproof frames, and built like a Sherman tank.

00:51:12.920 I'll say this.

00:51:13.920 They are built well.

00:51:15.720 And because you're listening to me, you can get a sweet discount when you mention my name.

00:51:20.860 That's right.

00:51:21.300 Just tell them Theo sent you, and they'll knock a good bit off the price.

00:51:26.780 So if you're ready to boost your metabolism, eliminate inflation, and blast away your anxiety,

00:51:32.040 give them a call.

00:51:33.340 Head over to their website, bluecubebaths.com, and dive into the details.

00:51:40.560 Opt in on their website or give them a call.

00:51:44.760 I am grateful for the one that I have, and I feel honestly thankful to be able to have one.

00:51:49.340 I know they're not in everybody's price range, and that's understandable.

00:51:53.560 But at the same time, I want to support my friend and his amazing company.

00:51:58.080 Is pornography causing a problem in your life?

00:52:01.140 Do you find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and having trouble stopping?

00:52:07.780 Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life?

00:52:12.420 Well, you're certainly not alone.

00:52:13.900 Watching pornography has become so commonplace today, and oftentimes men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and depression.

00:52:25.800 Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about these issues and getting help for them.

00:52:31.220 I want to introduce you to my friend Steve.

00:52:33.840 Steve is the founder of Valor Recovery, a program to help men overcome porn abuse and sexual compulsivity.

00:52:40.740 Steve is a long-term sexual recovery member and has personally overcame the emotional and spiritual despair of abusing pornography and has dedicated his life to empowering men to do the same.

00:52:53.840 Steve is an amazing person, and he is a close friend of mine.

00:52:58.580 I mean that.

00:53:00.080 Valor Recovery helps men to develop the tools necessary to have a healthier sex life.

00:53:04.720 Their coaches are in long-term recovery and will be your partner, mentor, and spiritual guide to transcend these problematic behaviors.

00:53:13.860 To learn more about Valor Recovery, please visit them at www.valorrecoverycoaching.com or email them at admin at valorrecoverycoaching.com.

00:53:31.000 Thank you.

00:53:31.620 Yeah, and I think my biggest takeaway was just that things, it's just changing, you know.

00:53:36.880 It's like just that things are kind of different, you know.

00:53:41.800 Like I couldn't believe that we got to be at something like that, but I think that's just how the world is getting.

00:53:48.020 Everything's kind of evening out.

00:53:50.100 You know, I don't really believe that there's, like it doesn't really feel like, it almost feels like there's not even really famous people.

00:53:55.860 Everybody feels a little famous because everybody is able to kind of promote themselves if they want.

00:54:02.720 You know, what used to be like media that felt like it was kept from people or controlled, it just feels like it's just there now.

00:54:11.120 And you can make your own decisions based on how you're consuming or who you're consuming stuff through, I guess.

00:54:18.480 I don't know.

00:54:20.740 I guess I don't have like a lot of macro level pictures of that kind of stuff.

00:54:24.300 But just to get to meet Sam Altman, dude, the AI guy, like what?

00:54:31.240 And then it was just more interesting, just like, yeah, it was fascinating.

00:54:35.340 I wish I had had, I was kind of burnt out.

00:54:38.980 And I wish I, it was very magnificent and had like a, you know, a Cinderella type energy and stuff.

00:54:50.840 I'm just glad that I got to go to it.

00:54:52.660 I couldn't believe that.

00:54:53.640 There wasn't on, there was a thing where, you know, I thought Jake and Logan, I thought Logan and Jake were messing with me.

00:55:01.200 They had videotaped, they were vlogging from the get, right?

00:55:04.780 And I never spent much time around them, you know, and I know that they're really successful and, and they're, I mean, they're war, they're, they're tough guys.

00:55:17.180 Those are tough guys, right?

00:55:18.240 No doubt.

00:55:19.520 So anyway, they put a clip of, I fell out the chair, dude.

00:55:22.880 And I didn't do, I didn't know, I knew that the chair had been bad.

00:55:29.120 The chair was faulty.

00:55:30.800 It was a faulty chair.

00:55:31.720 I don't know if that was CIA or whatever, no idea, no idea how, you know, if they, there was a plan there.

00:55:39.720 But anyway, they, the chair was faulty.

00:55:42.320 But then afterwards, somebody said that they were fulking with the chair, you know?

00:55:48.200 And so part of my brain was like, oh, were they, did they do something with it to egg it on?

00:55:55.580 You know, like, you know what I'm saying?

00:55:56.920 And if you see somebody who's like leaning on a crutch or whatever, and then you bar their crutch, you know, you leave town, you know, because you got priors or whatever.

00:56:05.820 And then they fucking, they take that L, baby, that gravity L, baby, they fall.

00:56:11.660 So I just didn't know.

00:56:12.920 So I got into kind of this skeptical place.

00:56:14.840 And I should have just checked in with Logan about it, I guess, but they were recording everything.

00:56:21.560 So I didn't know if they were going to record it or whatever.

00:56:23.660 And I just, I hadn't been around them that much, you know?

00:56:25.540 And I didn't, I think I get nervous around like vlogging type of things because it feels like you're there.

00:56:34.140 Somebody could be setting you up or something.

00:56:35.920 And I'm just not that familiar with that universe.

00:56:37.660 Uh, and then later in the day, um, Logan Pauls made a video where he said, uh, he made a challenge about, uh, oh, he said, if I was going to put you through something, I'd put you through a table, you know, not a chair.

00:56:50.760 Cause he is a wrestler.

00:56:52.300 He's a, um, WWE wrestler.

00:56:54.140 And I believe he's been a champion too.

00:56:55.360 Hasn't he?

00:56:58.620 Let me see.

00:56:59.360 Yeah, he was the WWE champion from November, 2023 to August 3rd, 2024.

00:57:09.540 So, um, yeah.

00:57:12.020 So I thought he said, you know, so I thought that he, I thought that he wanted that, that, that he was, you know, then I thought he was creating like an online hype about it.

00:57:20.520 You know, I thought he was calling out the rat king, you know?

00:57:23.520 And if you want, if you want the smoke, baby, I'll fill your lungs.

00:57:27.480 You hear me?

00:57:27.940 Cause I'm going to give you the truth, baby.

00:57:30.580 And I'm going to give you the trauma name, the time and the place and the place in the time.

00:57:36.680 Cause I got a clock and a globe and an ax to grind from Alaska to Nebraska, from Maine to Fort Wayne.

00:57:47.600 So that's where I was at.

00:57:49.960 And then, uh, we ended up talking in the morning and, um, I just, I should have probably communicated.

00:57:55.540 If that was my, my, my, my part in it was, I didn't communicate better and they weren't, they, they didn't, they didn't do anything.

00:58:04.480 Um, they were recording the chair fell and, uh, it was ridiculous.

00:58:09.860 And then they weren't trying to, uh, they weren't trying to wrassle.

00:58:15.320 I used to watch you wrassle.

00:58:17.640 They weren't trying to wrassle.

00:58:19.020 And so, yeah, so no hard feelings there.

00:58:23.880 Um, yeah.

00:58:25.640 So I'm just self-responsibility.

00:58:26.700 I think it was just a little bit of a miscommunication and just not knowing each other, maybe not knowing each other's energy.

00:58:33.400 Some, um, and I'll say this too.

00:58:36.420 Honestly, I had a great time hanging out with them because we also had, had a great time that weekend.

00:58:41.980 They were probably two of the guys.

00:58:44.280 Um, yeah, we just, uh, just joking around.

00:58:49.600 I got to see how they interact with their mother.

00:58:52.120 And I thought that that was very sweet, to be honest with you.

00:58:56.360 Uh, no home, no ditty or whatever, you know, just, just like the way, um, and it was just all real genuine.

00:59:02.740 You know, you could tell that they have, uh, yeah, you could just tell the affinity that they have for their mother and, and the same for them.

00:59:11.660 Because a lot of families that grow up, um, where the children are famous and stuff, they don't have the same, uh, fortune.

00:59:19.840 They don't have the same good fortune, you know?

00:59:21.960 And, um, so that was really cool.

00:59:23.820 Actually, it was, um, I thought I admired that about them.

00:59:27.040 Um, yeah, some, this honky Zen monkey rolled up on me at the hotel at one point and was kind of just like, he was just kind of trying to say stuff to me and just, he was drunk.

00:59:39.100 Right.

00:59:39.320 And he was just kind of kept spitting a lot.

00:59:41.260 And it was just a lot for me.

00:59:42.720 And he was just, his, his energy was super clear.

00:59:44.880 He was like right up in my face kind of.

00:59:46.420 And I told him I didn't want to really talk.

00:59:48.460 I was just, it had been a long day or whatever.

00:59:50.020 And then he kept, he kept coming up and, uh, Logan, uh, and Jake both kind of just formed, just put a damn Trump wall right there in front of me.

01:00:02.360 Uh, and, um, I didn't need to be rescued, but I'm kind of glad they stepped in because it could have got a little weird.

01:00:09.540 You know, uh, I was kind of my, I was on edge a little, um, you know, I just hadn't hit a meeting and all just shit like that.

01:00:17.360 I, I, you know, I just gotta take care of my own shit a little bit better.

01:00:22.140 But, um, so yeah, what I'm saying is, and nobody asked me to say this, you know, uh, we just, Logan and I had a call the other day.

01:00:29.900 That shit was just confusion.

01:00:32.020 And, um, yeah, that, that was just confusion.

01:00:36.500 And then, uh, yeah, I'm actually glad I got to, um, I'm glad I got to get to know them better, to be honest with you.

01:00:45.480 And it was kind of a joy of the weekend.

01:00:48.720 And, um, what else was nice?

01:00:53.380 I mean, it was all just crazy just to even, even just to like stand around a Vander Holyfield and you're just like, welcome to be around him.

01:01:00.360 Right.

01:01:00.520 There's not like he doesn't have, there's no, neither one of y'all needs to walk off.

01:01:05.260 Cause you're both in the same group.

01:01:06.300 It was like, you're at a field trip.

01:01:07.560 That was it.

01:01:08.040 That's what it was like.

01:01:08.900 It was like when you were kids at a field trip and it was like, okay, this is the B group and this is your chaperone or this is the L group and this is your chaperone.

01:01:15.980 And so that was us.

01:01:17.060 We had eight or nine of us.

01:01:18.260 We had our chaperone.

01:01:20.180 Um, and we were just, you know, we were just learning about, uh, civics and getting to see some of it firsthand.

01:01:27.560 And we really did like laugh.

01:01:29.180 It was a fucking blast, dude.

01:01:30.520 And yeah, I think maybe part of me, I wish they'd have asked if they'd have put the clip of falling into the chair out or whatever, but in the end it's okay.

01:01:38.720 It's all good.

01:01:39.420 You know, I don't have any, any ill thoughts towards them.

01:01:42.340 You know, um, I, I, uh, yeah, I thought that they were, I thought they were cool guys.

01:01:48.400 Maybe I need to quit saying that dude.

01:01:49.780 Obviously they're both married and I like women, but, um, but yeah, I kind of wish we would have fucking took that.

01:01:56.340 I kind of wish we would have took it to the ring.

01:01:58.060 You know, I think there was a part of me that, that was hoping, you know, cause you know, the rat king, baby, I'll put him in the fricking mozzarella wheelchair, baby.

01:02:07.940 You feel me?

01:02:08.880 My finishing move is the tax evasion, baby.

01:02:13.560 So, um, but that's every kid's dream to get in there and get body slammed and lose a vertebra, you know, in a, uh, sold out arena in Charlotte.

01:02:23.780 I mean, who, you know, we can all dream.

01:02:25.640 Um, but yeah, I'm just glad I got to go to the inauguration.

01:02:30.700 I would have gone.

01:02:31.900 You can't miss it.

01:02:32.920 You couldn't miss it if you got to go.

01:02:34.440 And I just feel lucky that I got to go.

01:02:36.020 And so thank you to Alex Bruchowitz, um, for taking me, um, for John Shahidi, my buddy, who's, uh, been super supportive and helps me a lot.

01:02:46.300 It helped me, um, get to do, uh, the political podcast last year and just to learn about some things that I care about, you know, and, um, and just different politicians and how it works.

01:02:59.600 It's like, I've learned a lot in the past year, to be honest with you.

01:03:02.520 I think anyway, you know, I think I have.

01:03:07.200 And, um, so yeah, wish I'd have gotten to meet Barron.

01:03:12.340 Um, wish I'd have gotten to see Bobby Kennedy.

01:03:14.900 Um, some people gave me a hard time about going to the inauguration or support in a party or whatever.

01:03:21.540 I don't think about, uh, you know, I don't, I, I support, I do what I want to do for me and you can do what you want to do for you, you know?

01:03:29.760 And, um, but nobody owns my support.

01:03:36.220 Nobody owns my support for anything.

01:03:39.740 I don't think, you know, except maybe my family.

01:03:42.220 Um, and even then, if I can, even then I'll keep it away from them sometimes.

01:03:47.280 So, um, I don't know about what else.

01:03:51.000 Let's take a call that came in.

01:03:52.580 Here we go.

01:03:55.960 Hello, Mr. Theo Vaughn.

01:03:57.880 This is Judy.

01:03:59.320 Hey, Judy.

01:04:02.420 Sorry.

01:04:04.100 My buddy used to say that all the time.

01:04:05.780 Uh, carry on Judy onward.

01:04:07.340 Thank you for calling.

01:04:08.480 Uh, I'm Shreveport, Louisiana.

01:04:10.960 Oh, yes.

01:04:11.520 It's Mike Johnson country.

01:04:12.860 And, you know, he's speaker of the house and I liked his attitude.

01:04:16.560 I liked his energy, you know?

01:04:18.300 And I'm curious to see what this whole new camp, what they do in there.

01:04:21.620 I'm curious to see, you know, cause it's a motley, it's a motley group that they got going in there.

01:04:27.300 And I want to get to meet some of them.

01:04:29.940 Um, I want to get to talk to some of them and learn some stuff, you know, and also ask them, ask them some promises.

01:04:35.900 Are you going to do this?

01:04:36.780 Are you going to do this?

01:04:37.940 And then we can see if we can hold them to it.

01:04:40.040 If we get to keep podcasting for years, we'll be able to hold them to it.

01:04:42.940 Hey, you said you were going to get to do this.

01:04:44.580 Why didn't it happen?

01:04:45.400 Or why did it happen?

01:04:47.120 You know?

01:04:47.900 So that kind of stuff really intrigues me.

01:04:49.860 You know, are we going to get, um, lobbyists and, um, uh, foreign countries and APACs and all these different people out from, uh, inter, interfering with our candidates, um, and interfering with our lobbies or how does it work?

01:05:03.520 And also, am I just delusional and I just don't know the whole system and, and if that's the case and educate me on it, because there's also just a cost of doing business in some things, you know?

01:05:17.820 Like sometimes it's just, there's a cost of doing business, you know, like you could go set up a fruit stand or something or a little, uh, little watermelon stand or something, uh, a little banana shop or something on the corner of a street.

01:05:33.780 You could do that, but you have to pay a permit, right?

01:05:36.720 You have to, it's just the cost of doing business.

01:05:39.320 So sometimes I wonder if there's, you know, what the truth is out there.

01:05:42.220 I want to learn more about that.

01:05:43.360 Let's hear more.

01:05:43.960 Sorry.

01:05:44.980 I've called you a few times.

01:05:47.160 Anyhow, I just want to say, congratulations.

01:05:51.180 I'm so happy for you that you had the opportunity to go to DC on inauguration day.

01:05:57.820 I had actually said something to my husband over the weekend that I sure hope Theo Vaughn goes to Washington to experience inauguration day.

01:06:08.540 Well, thanks ma'am or young lady or yeah.

01:06:11.920 Thank you, miss.

01:06:12.740 I appreciate that.

01:06:13.720 Yeah.

01:06:13.960 Theo Vaughn went to Washington, I guess.

01:06:15.580 Fievel goes West or whatever.

01:06:17.780 Fievel goes to section eight.

01:06:19.400 That's going to be, maybe I'll be able to be in that.

01:06:22.960 Yeah.

01:06:23.080 But Fievel was a mouse dude.

01:06:24.520 And he went West and we're the rats baby.

01:06:28.020 And we went East.

01:06:29.200 So, but thank you for thinking of me.

01:06:31.520 Yeah.

01:06:31.620 I was thinking about that too.

01:06:32.540 I was like, how can I not go?

01:06:34.800 You know?

01:06:35.700 So yeah.

01:06:36.300 Thank you.

01:06:36.720 Let's hear more, miss.

01:06:37.560 Because you, my friend, are so worthy and deserving to have that opportunity.

01:06:47.400 Countless, countless of us are so grateful.

01:06:50.860 Thank you for going.

01:06:52.260 You truly deserve that.

01:06:53.900 I was so excited for you.

01:06:56.460 And I just want to thank you again for just having truly the best podcast that I get so hyped to listen to.

01:07:04.460 And you were so deeply loved.

01:07:06.420 Well, thank you.

01:07:08.540 Thank you.

01:07:09.120 That's sweet of you to say that.

01:07:13.040 That's nice of you to say.

01:07:14.400 You know, I did.

01:07:15.160 I thought about my teachers from growing up.

01:07:17.480 I thought about my mom.

01:07:19.520 I didn't steal, but I took a couple extra napkins because I know my best friend's mom is going to want one.

01:07:28.660 My mom's going to want one probably.

01:07:30.440 Yeah, there's a teacher or two if I get to see him again that I would like to give him to.

01:07:37.080 Just little things like that.

01:07:40.180 Yeah.

01:07:40.600 And to see things you like and don't like.

01:07:42.400 You get to witness like, okay, there's some stuff here that I feel like this.

01:07:45.600 There's some stuff here that I feel like that.

01:07:47.280 But, yeah, I felt like, I don't know.

01:07:52.740 I just couldn't believe it.

01:07:55.620 You know, to be real honest with you, I just couldn't believe it.

01:07:58.940 You know, I just couldn't believe that I was sitting in there.

01:08:01.100 And I'm at the damn, you know, this is like the, they're doing the inauguration.

01:08:10.940 You know?

01:08:12.660 And then the chair broke and I'm like, oh.

01:08:20.480 Oh.

01:08:22.900 And you're on the floor and you're like, oh, this isn't good.

01:08:26.480 And then you just, I thought I'd, I was like, please let me fall through to another world or whatever.

01:08:33.180 Like, I looked over at Sam Altman and I was like, designer, you know, I was like, send me into the matrix right now, man.

01:08:39.580 You know, don't make me have to just get up and just be human.

01:08:43.660 So that was a lot.

01:08:45.600 I don't know.

01:08:46.080 Was it a lot?

01:08:46.500 But anyway, it is just is what it is, man.

01:08:49.280 And the best part of it was some rich lady scoffed at me.

01:08:52.720 It's like, oh.

01:08:55.060 Oh.

01:08:57.480 Oh.

01:08:59.660 As if she had to watch one of her own dog's shit.

01:09:02.280 You know, those people that are really rich.

01:09:04.040 They have someone else walk their dogs.

01:09:05.940 So they never really know that their dog's shit or whatever.

01:09:09.560 She was like, oh.

01:09:11.320 God.

01:09:12.300 She like grabbed her husband's arm or something.

01:09:15.440 I'm like, man, you got it right.

01:09:17.800 You're sitting in the wrong section.

01:09:20.980 You're in section eight, boo boo.

01:09:23.220 These chairs busted as hell, brother.

01:09:27.360 So maybe we'll start making our chairs in fucking America again.

01:09:30.560 I don't know.

01:09:31.460 Maybe we'll start taking some pride in the things that we built.

01:09:34.140 That we build.

01:09:35.400 You know.

01:09:35.680 I don't know.

01:09:37.740 I wonder what the future is going to be like.

01:09:40.840 You know, I wonder.

01:09:42.560 And if we're strong enough, man, it's weird.

01:09:44.520 It's like the things that I feel like are bad for me.

01:09:46.480 Sometimes it's hard to stay away from.

01:09:47.840 It's hard to keep using them.

01:09:49.220 And, you know, it's just a, it's interesting.

01:09:55.760 But I'm just happy I get to be alive and play the game every day.

01:09:59.140 Sometimes I play it pretty good.

01:10:00.340 Sometimes I don't.

01:10:01.080 Sometimes my attitude sucks.

01:10:02.640 Like, yeah, dude, I was at the ball or whatever.

01:10:05.100 And the desserts, dude, I was just, I wanted to get a drink or something.

01:10:08.200 And then I was like, I'm not drinking, you know.

01:10:09.820 I'm, I'm, I'm not doing it.

01:10:12.840 I just been, I was just like, I was kind of going through it.

01:10:15.980 And so I fucking said, I'm going to get me some desserts, right?

01:10:19.140 Because sometimes if you want to drink, if you, to, to, to, to stop that, that craving,

01:10:23.980 you get you some desserts, boy, you know.

01:10:26.820 So I tongue down a couple petty fours, baby.

01:10:29.260 Let me bring up a picture of one of them.

01:10:30.760 God, they're good.

01:10:31.500 If they're beautiful, they're good.

01:10:33.240 If they're good, but they, when they're not, they're just a waste of your fucking calories.

01:10:37.040 Petty four.

01:10:39.400 And I'm the kind of guy, I'll put something in my mouth.

01:10:41.300 And if I decide once it's in there that it ain't worth it, you're going to get that shit back, honey.

01:10:46.960 I'm going to, I'll put that shit in a napkin, baby.

01:10:49.840 And hide a little doggie bag somewhere behind a plant or something.

01:10:52.780 I don't give a damn.

01:10:54.440 I'll fucking feed that bitch to a sofa cushion after I take it out of my mouth.

01:10:58.000 I don't give a damn.

01:11:00.220 Because I don't eat bullshit sugars, dog.

01:11:02.280 So, a petty four, also known as mygnardesis, mygnardesis, is a small bite-sized confectionery or savory appetizer.

01:11:12.780 The name is French, petit four, meaning small oven.

01:11:18.500 That's small oven, baby.

01:11:20.820 You know what I'm saying, huh?

01:11:23.180 Damn, boy.

01:11:24.260 And Wayne Gretzky lost that freaking, he was spitting chicklets, dude.

01:11:28.920 Shout out to them.

01:11:30.520 He had a, I'm upstairs, baby.

01:11:33.760 He fucking, the Lord installed a window on his smile, baby.

01:11:37.120 He had that thing going.

01:11:38.620 And shout out Wayne, man.

01:11:39.780 We talked about his family and I'm just clowning.

01:11:42.400 He knows, he had a great sense of humor.

01:11:45.320 He's like, yeah, usually I got a couple extra I keep on me.

01:11:48.880 Oh.

01:11:49.500 But just moments like that, you're talking to the greatest hockey player in the world and he's asking you how you're doing.

01:11:53.940 And then you're just helping somebody look for a tooth in a fucking nice room.

01:11:58.440 It's just like, it's just the shit you kind of always dreamed about, I guess, you know?

01:12:03.000 Let me see if there's one more question.

01:12:08.880 Any questions you guys had, Nick or Zach?

01:12:13.280 I don't think so.

01:12:14.380 Are you looking for a voicemail?

01:12:16.600 Can you hear me?

01:12:17.820 You notice anything on your mind about the election?

01:12:19.580 Was there anything?

01:12:19.980 You made a point, you post on Instagram about how you think we need more than two parties.

01:12:26.380 That was interesting.

01:12:28.100 Yeah, I think that's something, you know?

01:12:29.900 I think that's a big thing for me is that, hey, how do you get more parties?

01:12:33.520 Because I feel like if they're, you know, if they're just, we need more teams.

01:12:42.540 It'd be more exciting.

01:12:45.760 You know, and I know there are more.

01:12:47.380 People are like, there's the green party.

01:12:49.260 Yeah, I know that.

01:12:50.180 Let me see how many political, just so we know.

01:12:54.780 Some of you guys are like, this idiot.

01:12:56.360 You don't know.

01:13:00.800 The electoral system in the U.S. called, is it called a two-party system?

01:13:05.000 That means two parties dominate the political field.

01:13:09.560 The two largest parties.

01:13:15.500 Okay, minor parties.

01:13:17.100 There's the, obviously.

01:13:17.940 So then you have Democratic and Republican.

01:13:20.180 Those are your two major.

01:13:21.280 Your minor parties are the Libertarian Party.

01:13:24.020 It was founded December 11th, 1972.

01:13:27.120 As of March 2021, it is the largest third party in the United States.

01:13:31.560 Claiming nearly 700,000 registered voters across 28 states.

01:13:38.180 The Green Party, you know what I'm saying?

01:13:42.040 Blow it in the air, baby.

01:13:43.600 That's sticky, icky.

01:13:45.960 The Green Party has been active as a third party since the 1980s.

01:13:50.120 You know what I'm talking about.

01:13:51.340 Cheech and Chong, homie.

01:13:53.220 That's what's up, baby.

01:13:54.400 Dope as your love.

01:13:55.380 The party first gained widespread public attention during Ralph Nader's second presidential run in 2000.

01:14:02.100 Okay.

01:14:02.860 Okay.

01:14:03.360 And then the Constitution Party is a national conservative political party in the United States.

01:14:10.940 It was founded in the U.S. tax as the U.S. taxpayers party in 1992 by Howard Phillips.

01:14:16.580 There's also the Alliance Party.

01:14:18.820 It's a centrist American political party.

01:14:20.660 It was formed in 2018 and registered in 2019.

01:14:23.820 And the Vermont Progressive Party.

01:14:25.880 So that are those are three, four, five other parties.

01:14:33.600 That's pretty cool.

01:14:34.400 I would love to just talk to Bernie Sanders again.

01:14:36.400 You know, that would be something nice this year to learn a little bit more about some stuff.

01:14:41.760 Yeah, I'm just I think I've got more curious this year.

01:14:45.500 I feel more curious.

01:14:46.840 Um, and then just, yeah, some things I want to do this year, try and be better to my friends.

01:14:54.180 Uh, I think I can do it and just take more time.

01:15:01.240 It's not in my own world and think about other people's worlds.

01:15:04.060 That's one thing that keeps me sometimes I just get stuck in my own world.

01:15:07.420 And then it's it's not that I'm not thinking about others.

01:15:09.580 It's just I'm thinking about me too much or some things I have to do.

01:15:12.860 Right.

01:15:13.180 Um, so there's some goals of mine.

01:15:17.400 Anyway, sorry to ramble.

01:15:18.660 Anything else?

01:15:19.360 Any other?

01:15:20.120 Nick, did you have a question?

01:15:21.140 Anything come to mind?

01:15:22.540 I know Zach had it.

01:15:24.880 I didn't.

01:15:25.720 I just thought it was kind of a beautiful moment.

01:15:27.800 It did feel like things are changing.

01:15:31.460 Good or bad.

01:15:33.500 Yeah, that's the thing.

01:15:34.880 Sometimes change.

01:15:35.800 It's good.

01:15:36.100 You don't know.

01:15:37.340 You know, it's like Bobby Kennedy.

01:15:38.680 Uh, people did it.

01:15:39.960 People said he was a witch doctor or whatever.

01:15:42.880 People said he was, um, what were some of the things you heard?

01:15:46.140 Oh, he worked for Frankenstein.

01:15:48.200 You would hear all of that or whatever.

01:15:50.960 Um, you know, people would say he has a bus full of like frogs with band-aids on him and

01:15:57.260 shit like that.

01:15:58.020 And like bears that are missing arms or whatever.

01:15:59.940 And yeah, yeah, he's definitely, you know, he's had some weird instances with some roadkill.

01:16:04.920 I'll agree to that.

01:16:06.640 Um, but it's a mystery.

01:16:09.240 I like something new.

01:16:35.900 Um, Nick, do you remember about one of them?

01:16:38.040 We talked about, that would be a good call in thing.

01:16:40.080 Craziest thing you've ever seen in a bathroom.

01:16:42.540 Oh yeah.

01:16:43.240 That's what it was.

01:16:44.160 Man.

01:16:44.260 So one happened at one thing that happened was I was at the inauguration, you know,

01:16:55.540 Right.

01:16:55.820 And so this, so I go into the restroom, right.

01:16:59.120 Typical, you know, restroom user.

01:17:01.380 That's who I, who I am.

01:17:12.560 You know, you'll, you'll accept a lot of sounds in a bathroom.

01:17:17.020 You're like, okay.

01:17:18.040 You're like, oh, all right, but okay.

01:17:20.380 You know, and then sometimes you hear some stuff and you do a quick prayer for somebody

01:17:24.020 or something, but there's only a few sounds, but somebody was in there, um, either, I don't

01:17:32.060 want to say doing, you know, cocaine maybe, or, or just breathing short, really fast every

01:17:38.600 now and then.

01:17:39.160 So that kind of blew my mind, but it just goes to show you that you never know when
