Joe Rogan Experience #2007 - Adrienne Iapalucci
[Music]. by night. these chairs are kind of weird but. they're the [ __ ] best chairs that. I've ever found for sitting for long. hours at a time I like it it's called a. capisco and is it fully what's the name. of the company that makes them they're. the [ __ ] the best ergonomic chairs I've. ever had to the only for podcasting. because if you think you want to be like.
comfortable and like like a nice like uh. one of those cool chairs with the. buttons in it you know that people would. sit and smoke cigars after a while. you're back or hurt it's like you don't. really you have to kind of stay. that makes sense these are the best I. like it the other one was just like so. tall yeah the other there's some of. these it's weird because of the same. company or the same Co the same chair. but I think different people made them. and some of them get real low this one. doesn't get pretty close hag is the main. company I guess oh so that's they've.
changed like twice and a few people sell. it wow that's how it works. um no one's paying me to say that to the. [ __ ]. what's up Adrian how you doing good to. see you should I move this closer yeah. right there is good all right you want. some coffee. um I just had some coffee last night was. really fun it was really fun our club's. awesome thank you very much. um I'm really excited that we got to. meet and I'm really excited that I got. to see you stand up you know because Ari. shaffir has been singing your Praises I. know for so long he's the best he loves.
you I know when I first met him I did. not like him like I was like this guy's. a dick. he's a little misunderstood. well he can be a dick well yeah even. when you text me I was like is this Ari. playing a joke because he's always doing. stuff like that to me does he really. yeah well it's because he loves you no. absolutely but I'm always skeptical of. something's in his orbit I'm like hmm he. is the guy that does Bert treasure in.
his house yes dosed him at his house. when he was supposed to be hanging out. with his family he gave him Molly at. least he did it at his house in a safe. environment I guess I think bird had the. [ __ ] time of his life he just doesn't. want to admit it I could see that I. think ultimately it was like a really. bad thing that already did that but. there's a I bet he had a good time I'm. sure I mean yeah I think it's probably. not great for their friendship it was. terrible for their friendship the wife. was Furious Adam and rightly so. rightly so Ari does stuff where like.
you're like hey that's not cool do you. know what he did to me. so he got into my ex-fiance's. um computer wrote an email from him to. me oh God whereas like I'm still in love. with you we should get back together and. like I know and I was like I had another. boyfriend at the time and I was like I. don't feel like this at all so I just. deleted it and then Ari later was like. do you check your emails I was like. you're a dick oh my God what a psycho.
yeah I was like What if I still cared. about what if you just started sending. [ __ ] pictures oh my God. it's on come over I was like it's on and. you started sending the wildest [ __ ]. that you have on your hard drive oh my. God that would be terrible I know and. then Ari has it well they text it to you. later. I think that he got in his his email and. then left like that's the thing he's. I've had my phone opened by him and. he'll like right I love Blackhawk on. Twitter like he just does that could you. imagine being your ex-fiance and then.
seeing a response to you in his email. yeah and then he's reading that going. what the [ __ ] did I do like like he. thinks oh my God was I on drugs did it. black out I don't remember writing this. I think he would just I think at this. point anything that goes crazy I think. is Ari so I think he would also just be. like who is in my office. um well that's the benefit of having. something like Ari you have plausible. deniability on tap you're just like. [ __ ] Ari you're such a psycho it's.
all right. damn Atari he comes across sometimes as. a dick because he's probably like. autistic but he is like a good guy he's. a great guy I love that dude but I don't. think he's autistic. I think he just had a hard childhood. yeah but like I don't think he like. he'll say stuff where you're like Ari. this is really inappropriate he does so. that's the only thing where I'm like he. might be on the Spectrum. you don't think even like the tail end. like the beginning he's such a comedian.
that he has a really hard time. interacting with regular people maybe I. think he's so used to like the fun of. chaos already [ __ ] in a tupperware. container and brought it to skank Fest. yeah and then opened it up on stage in a. crowded room where people were gagging. and throwing up it was Legions and. skanks right it wasn't skank was it. skank Fest whatever it was with the. legionist gangs guys Ari [ __ ] in a. tupperware and brought it to the stage.
sure but that's still not as bad as some. of the stuff he says but it's his that's. his level of like acceptable behavior. like to him that was a thing that you. should do right right so like all this. other stuff is just funsies that's true. it's just funsies when I was on the road. with him one time he took out one of his. bloody ass tampons. and he was showing me I go don't touch. me with that and he goes okay like if. you ask him like not to do something he. will respect that but if you don't it's.
he might it might be game on it yeah. he'll do whatever but like if you're. like hey please don't do that he's like. all right I'll respect that because you. said that I met Ari when he was a door. guy at the comedy store we became. friends. when he was just really just starting. out I don't think he'd been doing comedy. like more than a year what what did you. think of him as a new comic it's funny I. knew he was really smart yeah and uh. uh he was just fun to be around like. he's a fun kid he was like you know I.
knew after a while what was going on but. he has like recently divorced from. religion right so he's like super. Orthodox Jew you know went to Israel was. studying the talmud for like 12 hours a. day like wild [ __ ] and then he has his. real break from it. and then a few years later he's hanging. out without smoking weed at The Comedy. Store. I wonder what he was like he was great. no no before when he was like religious. what a mind [ __ ] to do to a kid.
it's such a mind [ __ ]. because you're you're saying you. absolutely know that this is how. everything went down right and there's. no way that could be real. even if the concepts of Christianity. Judaism even if they're like. real they're real that's what God really. wants there's no way you know whoever. wrote that like what they wrote you just. know what this is human beings yeah I. mean I went to Catholic School my whole. life and I just never believed any of. that stuff I believed in it until six.
yeah one teacher Sister Mary Josephine. she was such a [ __ ] I bet she was so. mean she was so mean that I knew as a. little boy. there's no way this could be connected. to God no those are so mean this is an. evil lady who would threaten you if you. didn't do something you wouldn't have to. sleep on a nail in the closet you'd have. to stay home you're never gonna need to. see your parents again should you yell. stuff like that it was like she was evil.
she tortured kids can you imagine that. existing today oh my God it probably. does it probably does in some very. unusual religious circumstances. you know but it's just back then when I. was a kid that was how they taught you. in Catholics but at least that lady my. sister got a great lady though my sister. got a great a lady in the same school. that wasn't a nun she was just a regular. lady who was Catholic who was teaching. in a Catholic School it didn't have to. be nuns or priests right well I was in.
elementary school it was like some. teachers and then I was some nuns and. some priests so it was a mix yeah so my. sister got lucky she loved her teacher. my teacher she taught me everything I. needed to know I was like about religion. I was like there's no way would it not. about the just a possibility that. someone like that exists yeah because. everyone was nice to me I was five six. years old whatever I was my parents were. nice to me my grandparents were nice to. me everyone was nice to me and then all. of a sudden I'm in this room with this. lady who is representing God.
and she's [ __ ] evil she's mean she. wants you to cry she would like try to. get kids to cry. yeah it was weird because it was like a. really good thing it was like a really. good thing because when I was like five. years old. my parents were breaking up and I was. like you know when you're young and. you're insecure you're like oh my God. like there's no stability in the world. and and I started thinking about God and. I started like really getting into God. it's like a five-year-old it's crazy it.
was yeah it was like I was looking for. someone to make sense yeah you're. looking for someone to look after you. someone who makes sense of this sure. because it's like the parents in your. life if the chaos in your life you're. like there's got to be something maybe. it's God. and then going to that church and going. to that that Catholic school I was like. okay maybe maybe it's God but these. people this lady is not doing the work. of God like there's no way God knows. about this there's no way God's cool. there's no way God's like she's.
ultimately unless it's to be so [ __ ]. mean that you make people think for. themselves yeah we had a priest maybe. father Joe I don't know he came and. we're about seventh grade and people. were talking about like if their dogs. die and they go to heaven and he was. like they don't and we went ballistic oh. my God imagine telling like a seventh. grader your dog dies and doesn't go to. heaven oh my God we were just like so. angry and mad like he had to leave the. room first of all [ __ ] how do you know.
they don't know anything but I'm just. saying it's like just be like yeah of. course yeah. but yeah why wouldn't you say that no he. he never even was like well maybe he was. like no they do not go to heaven because. then you'd be trapped with this animals. have souls too thing and then you can. never eat meat again. right. yeah they all go to heaven just every or. whatever imagine if you had to go to. heaven and confront every chicken you. ever ate. I mean I would just probably ignore them. like you do on like trolls on the.
internet you're just like all right I. get it you're mad I said something that. pissed you off in the next Dimension if. reality was flopped and everything that. you ate gets to eat you. I mean I think you're just like this is. my fate like what am I gonna do. it suck it would but you'd be dead so. quick it really is crazy if you think. about like your whole life from the time. you're a baby till now how many animals. have you eaten. probably a lot and the thing is I like I. don't feel bad eating the ugly animals.
like chickens are not particularly cute. but like cows are so cute they can be. very cute sore pigs yeah. pigs can be really cute. so that's the one thing where you're. like oh I love all these videos on. Instagram and I'm still gonna eat a. steak is it interesting that wild pigs. aren't cute at all. no they're not even a little cute. they're ferocious looking yeah so those. are the ones that you want to eat the. ugly ones. yeah my agent said the same thing to me. do you have ugly ones yeah she says like. I don't mind if you hunt but you should.
hunt pigs because they're ugly. not the babies the babies are so cute. they are but yeah even wild pig babies. are cute isn't that interesting the. what's the like Evolution it's not like. eagles care if something's cute no but. it's like a thinking animal that. discerns cuteness and doesn't want to. harm cute things sure like lions don't. care about yeah hunting something but. what do you is that for us it must be. for us it's just this is the only thing. it works on yeah I think it's just for.
us well I think about it like a little. wolf puppy. so adorable and it's adorable to us oh. yeah those things are gross disgusting. so it's adorable to us little wolf puppy. yeah so that we don't kill it so we can. grow up to be able to kill us. yeah that's a trick I think that we just. like are reasoning and thinking about it. but like there's people that would. probably kill it still oh yeah for sure. but it's a trick but it's an interesting. one because it really I think it only.
works on us I don't think chimps give a. [ __ ] about cuteness no but they do love. their like Offspring animals do all. animals do but it's not because they're. cute right but for us when we see other. things at babies we think they're cute. yes like we oh my God we want to protect. it. otter is a really good yeah puppies. puppies are the most adorable thing of. all time they are look at those little. guys they are cute hey little wolf. puppies but I also realized that they. would kill me they're so different than.
dogs it's so interesting they're so. different than dogs. and and they look kind of like dogs. until you get them around dogs. yeah I mean they're cute but they're not. as cute as. like a husky I was at a dog park once. when a guy brought in a wolf. are they illegal yeah you can have a. wolf. yeah you're gonna have like a seven. eighth Timberwolf as a pet. yeah I had a friend who had a couple of. them and one of them even got out and. killed a bunch of sheep.
like they're wolves like real wolves. yeah I don't think you should have them. so I'm at the dog park and this [ __ ]. dude comes in with a wolf and it was the. wildest thing where every dog was like. what the [ __ ] do you know what that is. every dog was like oh Jesus Christ they. all like slunk down and moved away from. it it was like he was walking through a. tide like everything that it pulled back. that's like their Jesus and his presence. well that's their monster yeah wolves.
eat dogs was your dog there yes did you. take your dog out oh I got the wrong. [ __ ] right the [ __ ] out of there yeah so. I live in the Bronx and there's always. like people have pit bulls and you know. dogs and like some of them are really. nice and some of them they just walk off. the leash so this one day I had a boxer. and this Pitbull got loose that's what. my ex-boyfriend at the time he jumped on. a car and I just picked my dog up I was. ready I was just getting ready to get he. jumped on the car to get away from the. dog yeah left your puppy yes but I think.
that's also maybe culturally like he was. black and I think like that's a whole. thing where he's just not raised the. same with dogs and stuff I don't know he. just jumped on their car and I just held. my dog and I was like I'm ready to get. attacked oh my God the dog did nothing. but then he showed me how I because I. was like I'm scared to walk my dog out. so he showed me how I could like kill a. dog and I would walk around with a knife. oh my god did you see that some someone. did that to someone welcome back in in. Manhattan what in Central Park someone.
stabbed the two dogs got in a fight and. they got stabbed someone else's dog I. mean. is he killing the dog I don't know I. think his dog bit the other dog was what. the woman who's I don't know I don't. know the details but I probably. shouldn't say it so it's new details and. shocking deadly stabbing of dog in. Central Park and the woman like filmed. the guy running away and she goes you. killed my dog you piece of [ __ ]. baffling incident occurred the area. around 106th Street and Fifth Avenue a.
spot popular with dog walkers NBC New. York spoke to a man who said that he and. his wife were walking their 13 year old. German shepherd pitbull mix named Ellie. and their other dog Sadie on leashes in. the area around 8 30 p.m a man the man. who only wished to be identified as. Brian said they walked by a man with. three pit bulls at least two of which. were Unleashed. [ __ ] that guy I hate seeing dogs off the. leash yeah one of his dogs tried to bite. my little dog and he tried to tell me. that's that it's okay and I try to talk.
sense into him Brian told news 4. he and. the man started to argue as his dogs. attacked Ely Ellie uh I kicked one of. the dogs off my dog at one point Brian. said but then he took out a knife and. started carving and my dog growled he. stuck him and I was helpless at that. time Brian said he took a photo of the. man as he walked away below the couple. then took their dog to the veterinarian. where Ellie had to be put down. wow so that guy with those dogs just.
stabbed someone's dog this dog bit the. dog okay that guy would be [ __ ] dead. that's why I can't have a gun because. there's so many people I would kill I. don't know if those are pit bulls they. said they look like uh Bulldogs yeah but. they couldn't no I think they're. American Bulldogs my mom has no American. Bulldogs are actually larger than. pitbulls American Bulldogs those dogs. are like this though those look more. like they look they do make these little. bullies you ever seen those bullies.
that's my mom's miniature bullies yeah. it's like low to the ground but like. that yeah jacked I think those aren't. like the really the really scary pit. bulls believe it or not are the not the. ones that look like the scary pit bulls. I mean those are scary too but the. really scary ones are the smaller ones. because those are the ones they really. raised for dog fighting yeah Brian. Callan got one of those ones he had one. as a pet it was a real problem and it. looked like a regular dog it looked like. a regular dog like they don't have big. giant heads and only weighed like 35. pounds.
that's it so those those little things. uh they're weird [ __ ]. breeding choices that people have made. to make these little tiny pitbulls but I. don't think those are aggressive. my mom's dog's not aggressive but she's. like scared of everything. because another dog got loose and. attacked her so she's like scared now. everything oh yeah that's got to be true. but like if I live if that would drive. me nuts if I was that guy I would do I. would do terrible things to his dogs. it's just not it's to him [ __ ] the dogs.
are just being dogs I know but like put. them on a leash yeah it's not like yeah. I know what you're saying but yeah oh. yeah if you could kill him then do it. that's the thing about taking dogs in. public like you never know. like I got there's this guy that uh I. used to run these trails with and I. think he worked for this lady because I. don't think he really had good control. of the dogs and oddly enough one of the. dogs was a golden lab and he was really. aggressive. and he went after my dog and bit my dog.
and I had to like kick the dog off him. and it was like it was awful but I'm. like a golden lab just just snapped to. the door I'm like and the guy couldn't. control him I'm like I thought you were. talking about this video oh this was. horrible. right yeah that was horrible a woman. yeah the guy I didn't have control of. his dogs and they were attacking us. that's why dogs need to be on a leash I. mean that's just you're not in the. mountains there's a guy that used to. have three German Shepherds he'd walk. them all off the leash in the Bronx. right but why is that dog attacking. people why is that dog just attacking a.
lady for no reason like what maybe. they're trained yeah what is going on or. if you rescue them and you don't know. where they're from. oh God damn it that's scary that's very. scary that's terrifying [ __ ]. such a [ __ ] up way to go well I think. that's so weird that that guy came into. the park with a wolf it's like what are. you doing it was a long time ago. um you know it was uh. it was real weird. but there people have those things they. have those uh wolf breeds wolf dogs.
this one guy I knew had three of them. and he would go to his house if you made. noise. it would all just Howl in it's they're. not dogs it's so interesting they like. there's no like telling them what to do. sit lay down [ __ ] you those stories. should be out in the wild yeah and this. guy had him in a yard it's like it's. kind of crazy that's not what they. should be these dogs are wild they. should be out in you know it's also kind. of crazy to fix them.
he's just cutting off their testosterone. supplies oh. let's get done I bet they're still. pretty aggressive they're not the same. they're definitely not the same you. might get it that you don't want them to. have puppies but you should just be in. control of your dog. it's such a weird animal. wolves. you know because we killed them off and. now we're like let's bring them back and. have them in the park with other dogs. that are have no Fighting Chance against. it if it goes nuts well that case that. guy you know had it supposedly as a pet.
I just think people get pets sometimes. it's like you don't have to really know. what you're doing to get or a German. Shepherd you can get a police dog German. Shepherd like a really aggressive very. smart thinking like almost like a. predator of people yeah you know and you. could just get it anybody can get it I. mean so many I think in Manhattan had. like an alligator oh yeah like you get. these like little animals where they're. cute and then it like gets to be. humongous and you're like this is a real. problem I think a dude in the Bronx had.
a tiger sure I see that happen it's. [ __ ] house this guy had a tiger at. his house. yeah people are nuts imagine like. telling a girl at a club you have a baby. tiger like even if you don't want to. [ __ ] this guy like I do want to see this. baby tiger. where was this. is his alligator found in New York City. Lake oh my God. so what do you think happened there do. you think that was like he's probably a. pet and it got too big and somebody was. like I don't know what to do with this. and he put it in this park in the water.
that's the story of Florida. is an amazing story. Florida is just overrun with Pythons. there's a half a million pythons in the. Everglades so that 99 of all of the. mammals are gone. of everything raccoons deer everything. rabbits they're all gone. foxes Pumas everything everything maybe. that's what you need to be hunting then. yeah well they are doing that what's. crazy is in California python skins. illegal.
so you can't you can't expand you can't. get python in California meanwhile on. the other side of the country they're. overrun with Pythons like they literally. have wiped out all the native Wildlife. they're eating alligators now that's. crazy yeah. oh my God oh my God yeah that's the part. of the story I mean imagine showing up. to that and you're like I'm out of here. oh my God I'm not getting paid enough.
for this I think they're the most. beautiful animals they're beautiful but. like what are you doing in a tiny studio. apartment with a tiger it's an insane. person. it's like some dude who met some dude. and that was a guy and get you of course. do you know there's more tigers in Texas. in private collections than there are in. all of the wild of the world. are they just like in their private. backyards and stuff tiger world I mean. when they attack people I'm like yeah I. get it why you're you're caging this.
animal that should be in the wild yeah. Texas is very strange when it comes to. Wildlife you can kind of own anything. get you a zebra Adrian I want a baby. zebra not when it gets big once it gets. big I'm gonna put in that lake with that. alligator. I care fend for yourself. yeah there's it's apparently like a. couple thousand more tigers in Texas. than there are in the wild did you ever. watch Tiger King oh yeah I mean just.
like such trash that's so great not so. secretly hoping that Trump would pardon. him. third level education well he's just. trying to make money talk to those. straight guys into [ __ ] them so. respect yeah but I feel like rich people. can get away with that it's like why. women right hot women [ __ ] ugly dudes. that are rich you're like well hopefully. guys yes absolutely I guess with some. guys but everything it's like what works.
on everybody you know because like some. things don't work on some people they. work on other people. I think money always works on everyone. sure but like some people are really. dumb like some people you can get them. with a pretty simple cult. oh yeah not even that good if you just. post on Craigslist that you're starting. a new religion yeah I thought about. doing it and seeing who would show up. people would show up I know. they would be I was the first I was with. Adrian when she became awoken from the.
beginning. that'd be so crazy you could start a. cult I'm 100 you just article I would do. that and then just start a landscaping. business and that would be what I tell. them our religion is. cleaning people's yards and stuff oh my. God. it's such a weird thing Cults because. there's it's uh seems to be like a. natural pattern of behavior that people. have where they're willing to believe. [ __ ] total nonsense as long as. everybody in the group believes total. nonsense.
sure it's also wanting to like belong to. something you know especially if you. feel like an outcast yeah and there's. some that are good at it like. Scientology is good at it I think at the. root of every cult there is a guy that. wants to [ __ ] everyone so like that's. generally generally most of those Cults. start out where like you have to [ __ ] me. and that's how you get like to this. higher level or or the heavens gate guy. you have to cut your balls off. remember that guy I do but I don't. remember everybody castrate themselves.
was he castrated also I think he was. he might have done to himself and got. people to do it it was um it was a weird. one they all wore the same Nikes of. themselves because like they thought. that the spaceship was coming to take. them they had to kill themselves what's. crazy is I watched that documentary and. I was bored by it. well it was it's weird right because. it's like it's so dumb you're like who's. buying into this but even something that. dumb there's someone out there that's. like [ __ ] Nikes oh.
it's a weird one click on that how it. really happened. it's such a strange story. because like I don't know what the guy's. origin was like how he got all these. people. it's not playing. I just remember watching and being very. bored by it I was bored by this guy that. started a cult and got everyone's. killing themselves I loved wild wild. country did you see that one yes is that.
the one where they're going through a. drive-through that's the one where the. Indian Guru. um he uh set up shop in this town in. Oregon they took over the whole town oh. yes yeah and they started busting in. homeless people so they could vote out. everybody so the homeless people that. was amazing but then it was home it was. really sad because those homeless people. had a sense of purpose for the first. time in their life and some of them were. like I'm [ __ ] all in these are my. people you know and they were [ __ ]. doing hard work and they were really. like they felt and then at the end after.
they voted like get the [ __ ] out of here. the big surprise could come that. spacecrafts could come in by the. thousands. maybe coming shifts in March 1990s that. music I'm out. well that's editorialized right that's. someone else like yeah but this is uh. part of some History Channel thing I.
think did you hear about the sanctum. called stuff today was Hunter Biden what. is that. yeah the story I saw was that the leader. of this La sex club that cost 75 000 a. year was kicked out of the club because. he shared that Hunter Biden was once a. member. and all he shared was like a social. media post that said I kicked him out. because he was weird but then they. kicked him out of the club he's like. you're not allowed to talk about the. club they're Fight Club Fight Club. um I [ __ ] up I had a chance to get. Hunter by on the podcast in the very.
beginning I can't wait why don't you get. back on crack. do it that's when you get him back yeah. I'll try it for the first time. well I hit my friend did crack he's like. it's amazing well it's cocaine it's. freebasing cocaine Dr Carl Hart. um who's uh This brilliant guy who's a. legitimate academic but also is a drug. user and he's like there's no difference. it's it's pharmacologically it's the. same drug you're freebasing I could see.
that yeah it's like the the real thing. that's different is the policy because. the Paul it's the most racist policy in. the history. like if you get busted with cocaine it's. one one thing but this if you get busted. with crack you get a crazy sentence yes. like way way way more it's just racist. well it's not just racist it's like. when you really go into like the origins. of do you were you aware of the Freeway. Rick Ross story no Rick Ross not the. rapper but the real Rick Ross right was.
a drug dealer in South Central L.A okay. and he couldn't even read and he was. making millions and millions of dollars. he was like a star tennis player and. figured out how to make money doing it's. just a smart smooth dude who knew how to. move cocaine but he didn't know he was. moving it for the CIA oh he didn't know. he was moving it to fund the conscious. versus the sandinistas in Nicaragua. interesting so this is the whole Oliver. North thing.
so they lock him up he learns how to. read in jail and becomes a lawyer and. then realizes they got him on they got. him on you know three strikes but it. can't be three strikes in one crime it. has to be three different crimes three. different arrests right so he got out. crazy crazy but like look what they did. for him he learned to read he became a. lawyer do I mean like what a [ __ ].
great story that is. he's an awesome guy too and that but. that's where crack was coming from. I mean it was our own [ __ ] government. oh yeah it was it was Rogue I should be. real clear about this. probably Rogue Outlaw entities in our. own government the the it's not like our. government approves that. didn't Reagan like put crack into the. community pretty much Reagan did it. himself he went in the middle of the. night like Santa Claus. it's like a little crack for everybody.
well you know that the whole [ __ ] you. know the drug wars just bananas when. you're actually still selling drugs like. the college is used as a war on drug. competition is all it is it's not a drug. war the drugs are making billions of. dollars like okay no more money for. drugs drugs are now illegal to sell like. what are you talking about no way look. at the amount of money that people make. on just drugs that everyone agrees that. listen I don't take Adderall but I 100. support your right to dig Adderall sure.
I I hear it's awesome and people who. take it they can't shut the [ __ ] up. about it yeah it's like me and my friend. used to take stacker too yeah I think. it's the same thing we would like do. everything in the office everyone would. love when we took it but guess what kids. that's a drug yeah that's a drug. absolutely I mean the fact that you're. getting it from your doctor I mean. doctors prescribe so much tell the. doctors sell Coke. why not. I tried to get a prescription for Xanax. and my doctor looked at me where he was.
just like I'm not giving it to you and I. was like are you serious oh my god. really yeah because I wanted it to flies. like I'm not doing it he's like they're. really cracking down right now so you. can't have any well the thing about. benzodiazepine is it's very difficult to. kick very difficult physiologically it's. one of the only drugs like alcohol. that'll kill you if you just go cold. turkey sometimes yeah some people just. get wrecked by that stuff Jordan. Peterson got wrecked. like physically wrecked for like over a.
year it took him so long just to build. his health back up well my friend that. was doing crack was also doing Xanax so. and he was like his doctor just made him. go I guess cold turkey but he had been. doing so much that when he stopped he. went ballistic oh my God yeah that's. supposed to be horrible it is horrible. horrible withdrawals especially when. people go crazy and they're eating it. all day long oh yeah he was taking it. all day. that was rough for him that's when he. started doing uh crackle products I had.
a buddy that was a comic it was like. just having anxiety attacks I just. couldn't [ __ ] control and start. taking Xanax. and it all went away. and and then and then also he was fun. again it was weird it was like anxiety. is terrible it was terrible. and I know it his health deteriorated. after but he was drinking while he was. doing it which you're not supposed to do. which a lot of people do do. ladies said this to be on an airplane. she uh she had a glass of wine she goes. a glass of wine and a Xanax and I don't.
give a [ __ ] about the world yeah I've. taken Xanax if I I went to Australia and. I took it and I slept most of the flight. yeah it just knocks you out yeah I would. imagine it's a good move for a 16-hour. flight but is the come down bad. you're exhausted you're like so tired. the rest of that day you're like you're. done there's nothing you could do that's. why I would only take it if I like was. flying. right yeah I would that would make me. think that if you took it before you. went on stage that wouldn't be good.
either no it's like a real Downer. I think he was doing that though. I'm Amazed by people like like do so. much drugs and drink and go on stage. I wonder though like how it's. interacting with whatever individual's. level of anxiety right like we all. assumed that people have the same. anxiety but my level of anxiety differs. throughout the day and depending on what. I'm doing depending on like my activity. level whether I've exercise whether I. slept well yeah so.
it I don't have a lot of anxiety but if. someone had a lot of anxiety like or. like a hot we I don't even know what. that feels like. like if Xanax is the only thing that. takes them out of that like give them. some [ __ ] exactly it's just for me it. makes me like a zombie that's why I. really can't take it I just wish there. was something that had that sort of an. effect but wasn't like so ferociously. addictive. I mean probably mushrooms.
I don't know I'm scared to do anything. scared why I don't know I reacted so. badly. when I was I did an edible when I was at. uh moon tower like last year and I've. never done it before and it was like the. worst experience how many milligrams. um I don't remember it was like in a bag. that they gave you and my friend was. like this is she was like no it was like. from a company though she was like this. is very weak I know but it wasn't just. like some guy off the street handed it. to me so I was like oh this seems. legitimate and I took it and I remember.
going to sleep and waking up to hearing. the ocean. I mean it was so wild I thought I was in. that movie with Russell Crowe what's. that movie where he's like he thinks. he's in the CIA but he's just bipolar or. schizophrenic oh. so the whole time I thought I was like. that situation I mean my I go it's not. good for me like my friend came over and. I was like. I use the same logic he used where he. realized those people never aged where I. was like okay well you're you're the. same now like it was so crazy I can't do.
I can't do drugs people never aged in. that movie he's like I guess he sees. like a little girl and he has this. roommate the Russell crowman oh the. Russell yeah so but he realizes like. they're not real because 10 years later. they're still the same age and I use. that logic. to think that like my friend I was like. well you're still exactly the same like. it was just I went there it was so crazy. whoa that's why I was like I'm not good. on drugs well that's a big dose it. sounds like I think someone the problem. with those Edibles I used to have a bit.
about it is they're not consistent. they're not making the same place they. make Tylenol. yeah they should it should be legal they. should all be legal so we'd know exactly. what the [ __ ] you're taking I mean how. many people have to die of fentanyl. before they realize like we have to. figure out like if there's a demand for. these drugs if people want these drugs. maybe it's education maybe it's. counseling maybe it's drug. rehabilitation centers that we need to. open everywhere and then there's a. business in that but you should be. allowing people to have access to the.
actual drug not Coke that you're getting. on the street that's cut with fentanyl. that's going to kill people how many. people have to [ __ ] die before you. realize you're not going to stop people. from doing coke with a just say no. campaign so what are you going to do why. don't you let reputable companies sell. that and sell pure versions of it and. tell them what the [ __ ] doses it's. going to kill you let people know what's. going on and then and make it so that. you have to be 21 to buy it and educate. people like we're going to open up the. country to legal drug sales because if.
you don't all you're doing is arming The. Outlaws you're giving them money all the. Outlaws that's and it's right South. across our border the Mexican cartels. are [ __ ] killing it and they're not. killing it because just say no worked. they're killing it because we don't have. legal drugs so they sell illegal drugs. it's [ __ ] bananas that a problem so. so obvious it's like this it's it's an. uncomfortable solution but you gotta rip. off the [ __ ] band-aid and you got to.
make everything legal. remember that Professor that was uh. doing heroin recreationally Dr Carl Hart. okay I love that dude he's been on the. podcast a few times yeah well he does it. recreationally yeah and he talks about. it he says it's wonderful he says I love. to just be with my wife and listen to. music. I just feel like once I did that I'd be. like well this also seems like a good. idea tomorrow like I don't know that. yeah I would stop that's a problem with.
addiction like it's just like that guy. can do it but like right. well one of the things that he talked. about that's interesting he's like this. heroin withdrawal myth he's like it's. like getting sick it's like you're sick. with a cold for a couple days he goes. that's what it's like it's not like. you're dying he goes it's not that bad. he goes it's just very exaggerated in. media depictions of films and people are. like but that sounds awful sounds like. he wants to like have a cold for a few.
days but then you're not addicted to. heroin anymore but then if you just keep. doing her and you just keep feeling. better well also you got to realize like. sick for like what does sick mean like. if you're sick and you've been doing. heroin a lot and so you're malnourished. and your immune system is dead and you. know you're you're very little sleep and. you're just all [ __ ] up and poor and. then you get withdrawals and you get. really sick that could [ __ ] kill you. depending upon your health depending on.
how healthy of a heroin person you are. yeah like I wonder if he calls in second. everyone's like he's doing heroin people. do heroin recreationally and they have. for a long time there was this buddy of. mine who was a longshoreman in Boston. and he worked with this guy who would. buy a bag of heroin at lunch every day. and he would go in his truck and he. would shoot up. well I mean I don't know how much you. know he did at a time but he this guy. was functional he said he would go in.
his car he would shoot up everybody knew. what he was doing he'd go in his car and. shoot up and he would sit in his car for. his hour lunch break and then go back to. work. no problems insane insane. I mean with Xanax I want to fall asleep. it's it's a weird thing that P I met a. guy was a pool player once he was a like. a very prominent uh like top level pool. player where he'd gamble for a lot of. money and we were at a pool hall in. White Plains New York this guy they. called him Buffalo Bill was one of his. nicknames water dog was another one of.
his nicknames and this dude uh would had. he had to do heroin before he played and. everybody knew and so this guy was. gambling with him and this guy um water. dog goes into the bathroom. locks the door he's in there for like 10. minutes he comes out and he just sits on. the chair like this like a billiard's. cherry sits like this. for like 20 minutes just sits there like. this like. and we're just looking at them and I was. you know 23 at the time or something. like that I was like look at this.
[ __ ] look at him and then he. would get up and it was like he had. shark eyes there was like no one there. there was no one there and then he would. play pool and he couldn't miss he. couldn't miss it was insane it was. insane to watch was they playing on. these Pockets this table these really. tight pockets and they're gambling for a. lot of money that's not legal he has no. nerves there's no nerves he's not. feeling any pressure at all he's just. playing perfect and everybody watches. like holy [ __ ] and it made people want. to do heroin.
I do not that I shouldn't have been. legal but I'm saying if you're a PO if. you're playing him and you're like. against him I'd be like he can't do. heroin that just enhances his. performance you're talking about pool. in uh in the pool world everybody does. drugs really there's a lot I mean. there's elite players that are. completely clean and sober on a. professional level absolutely but in. like pool hall gambling. drugs are ubiquitous drugs were existing. yeah. amphetamines were like the The Choice.
pill for people when they gambled like. 20 hours in a row they would just take. amphetamines and keep gambling. I just think like I would be scared to. do that addiction is so rampant in my. family like my biological father was a. drug user my uncle was a Hell's Angel he. was on tons of drugs and stuff so I just. feel like I don't know I have enough. issues yeah I hear you I don't know if. drug addiction is I think some of it's. got to be physical some of it's got to. be genetic it's got to be it just makes.
sense people from some parts of the. world where they don't have a history of. alcohol they experience alcohol they. have real problems with it part of it's. got to be genetic but then part of it's. got to be cultural too when you're. around all these people it becomes like. learn Behavior it's you know release at. the end of the day give me a [ __ ]. beer and yeah it's just become something. that you know gets very ingrained and. then also the patterns of behavior that. come with alcoholism the [ __ ] up and. the [ __ ] Life falling apart and the.
disastrous choices you make driving. drunk no just like losing your family. like there's so many yeah yeah all that. all that just I mean how many lives have. been lost to drugs that you could buy. legally like booze sure booze is [ __ ]. up more people. but I like it yeah of course I like it I. like a little drink every now and then I. don't think it's it's like but the idea. that we're protecting people by keeping. some drugs illegal I just I think what. we're doing is we're making a nanny.
state that we can't get out of and we've. gotten ourselves into this box this. nanny State box maybe down the line it. will be legal no it's it's going to be. because it's legal now in certain States. like uh Oregon is essentially. decriminalized everything they've. decriminalized cocaine mushrooms. whatever means you're not supposed to. sell it you can't sell it but you can. have it which is wild so where do you. get it from yeah it's a good point. you know I don't know if they're.
specific about that and I don't know if. there's like legal distribution so I. know they have legal marijuana right but. that's that's like 18 states now of. legal weed legal weed is pretty pretty. well accepted as a good thing and I. think even though there's a lot of. right-wing people that smoke weed and I. think that was a big change because I. think a lot of left-wing people were. always associated with marijuana and. laziness and then right-wing people like. [ __ ] that [ __ ] pothoads but now a lot. of right-wing people like maybe your.
dad's got arthritis and he smokes a. little weed before he goes to bed and. maybe you have an edible and you really. like hanging out with your wife and. watching movies and then you know you're. like hey maybe this pot's not that bad I. know don't you feel like a lot of people. are doing coke like on both sides I. think so. I mean I know so I know a lot of people. are doing coke yeah so it's like I don't. know. I feel like both sides do everything. yeah but I think psychedelics more like.
well not anymore I used to say. psychedelics more likely to be Tried by. the left but God damn there's a lot of. soldiers that have had great benefit. with psychedelics and they've shared. those experiences with a lot of other. soldiers and I've had quite a few uh. talk about it on this podcast but um one. of the things that Maps is doing is. using MDMA for soldiers with PTSD and. that's shown amazing results so I think. the right is opening up their eyes to it. more too it's like it's a quality of. life thing that's probably been here. forever and if you believe in God he.
probably put all that stuff here for us. it's just managing it correctly you know. the ones that can be beneficial like. mushrooms like MDMA like all these. things they they have a positive effect. when done correctly with the right. person and sure and to deny that it's. just stupid at this point to make them. schedule one drugs in 2023 with chat GPT. and everyone's got 5G we know what the. [ __ ] is going on right like stop but. even something like gambling that's.
legal can still ruin your life [ __ ] yeah. Ken yeah and I support it yeah my dad. was a gambler let's go we had nothing. I used to gamble with our lives pretty. regularly God isn't that crazy. when uh I first started playing pool. that's when I first started being around. gamblers I did I've never been around. gamblers as a child. and so I never knew like what that. addiction is like to watch it play out. oh yeah it's crazy my dad was like just. emotionally unavailable.
he's always wanted to gamble I always. wanted to gamble we used to go to the. OTB as kids like the late we went there. so often the lady behind the thing had. my school picture up that's how often we. went there yeah oh my God. yeah he was a bad gambler but he also. didn't make a lot of money which is. crazy right it's like you can't be a. mailman and a gambler. it did get to anybody no I know it can. get anybody. did you see uncut gems. no it's [ __ ]. kidding is it yeah it's Adam Sandler.
plays a gambling addict you will get. such anxiety while you're watching like. oh Jesus [ __ ] what are you doing what. are you doing it's so good Adam. Sandler's so good in it and it's a. dramatic role. Adam Sandler killed it it's a great. movie is he like a rich Gambler in it. he's a jeweler oh okay yeah and he's. just it's great it's great it's great. but those guys are real I know those. guys I knew a lot of those guys they.
would come into the pool hall and just. start talking about the loss and this. and I'm gonna get it back and I'm gonna. then the [ __ ] the Bulls are down by. six and they were just oh. they were just in it all the time I was. like this is crazy my dad's thing was. like OTB and gambling in the Meadowlands. and any of that stuff I mean you also I. think gambled on football and stuff but. mostly like the horses yeah the horses. are crazy but you like Atlantic City too. stuff like that dog races. I don't know if he did that but I'm sure. he would I feel like he'd gamble on.
anything. I had a friend of mine who uh adopted a. greyhound. because oh one of the ones that was like. used to race and uh I had an apartment. at the time but I was going to get one. too they were so cool they're so Sleek. they're so and my friend was trying to. walk it the leashes come off their head. he said yeah well not only that. um when my friend took his out he didn't. realize first of all they're so fast oh. yeah they're very when they go like you.
are not catching them and when he saw a. cat. he just went after it and so he was off. leash in this like empty park it thought. he'd be fine and the [ __ ] Greyhound. just went for that cat well he's really. free now yeah. it's like he he didn't realize like oh. they're not cool with animals like. that's the whole thing about racing is. they're chasing a rabbit right if they. see an animal they [ __ ] Sprint. towards it yeah you can't deprogram that. no no no no no so he he realized like oh.
my God I gotta be really careful with. this thing. can't just like ever let it go without a. leash you ever see the little ones the. little Greyhounds no they have miniature. Greyhounds miniature Greyhounds yeah oh. they're cute let me see Jim. they're cute they're like just big gray. they have the same thing you know what. the weirdest dog is. which one a whip it with a myostatin. inhibitor I don't even know what that is. a whippet is this cute dog. oh look at that they're the Cutie yeah.
oh that's adorable that was a little. cuddle dog. they're fast wow look at them go look. how they cross their legs like that they. just get so much [ __ ] torque. there's so much energy so this is a dog. called a whippet and every now and then. they have a genetic anomaly it's a. myostatin inhibitor and it causes them. their uncontrollable growth of muscles. what do they look like freaks they don't. even look like they're real they look. like like a comic superhero like if you.
had injected a comic book superhero dog. with like Hulk serum it just went are. they fighting those things no no no no. no look that's what oh gross isn't that. crazy look how jacked is that's not. that's like natural yeah it's just a. natural genetic uh anomaly but like why. wouldn't you fight that that thing is. because they're nice. no I know but they're they're like. teaching other dogs to fight I'm. surprised they don't use these guys well. it's not really as much about your the. strength of your uh like all those extra.
big muscles those are gonna like cause. you to get tired quicker and then on top. of that it's really the bite of the jaw. that's true the strength of the bite and. then also the game instinct so some dogs. when they get hurt they want to get out. of there and pit bulls don't care about. it right and that that's bred into them. so when a dog would cower away they. wouldn't allow that dog to breed in a. lot of places they kill the dog that was. the whole uh when they whenever they. catch dog fighting the horrible things. like what they do to the dogs who lose.
because they don't want them to breed. like if a dog quits they just kill that. dog I remember when uh everything was. going on with Michael Vick and I didn't. know what he looked like and I just seen. this guy on the front of the newspaper. go who's this guy he's hot and someone's. like that's Michael Vick and I was like. oh that hurts so. yeah he was involved in that stuff. I knew a dude uh at one point in time he. had like 13 dogs in his yard in uh. I think he was in Oklahoma.
and uh my friend was like I think he. really likes dogs I go no. I go he's got 13 pit bulls on chains in. his yard I go that guy fights dogs yeah. that's gross I hate that. he was a dog fighting gambling guy so he. was breeding dogs for dog fights that's. still going on right now in this country. yeah underground dog fights. I can't see that like nothing makes me. more upset than that I think horrible. what's really [ __ ] up is the dogs are.
wagging their tails well because they. think that they're doing good yeah they. enjoy that that fight. damn it so awful. it's just so crazy that that's going on. right now. so much stuff is going on right now. someone's getting sex trafficked right. now right now right across right across. the border yeah whenever I go to the. airport and they have those signs in the. bathroom like if you're being sex. trafficking I'm like you think they're. letting them go to the bathroom. right. [ __ ].
it's just so hard to believe that some. people are that evil. money makes people do crazy stuff and I. think your circumstances too if you. don't have money and you're like this is. something I can do it's still shitty but. I think some people are like I have no. other choice yeah it doesn't make it. right. they have no other choice but to sex. traffic can't you sell stuff yeah. they're selling the women. I think it's the amount of money too yes. I think if you're selling you know. knives door to door you're not making as.
much. it's like I tried doing this for a year. I wasn't making a lot of money knives. door-to-door imagine having enthusiasm. for that job now. [ __ ] deserve to feed yourself. sell knives I remember when I first. started doing stand up I would bark for. stage time which is basically like hey. do you want to come to a comedy show and. like I was so bad at it because people. just be like no I'm like all right. I'm like I get it this is so I mean I. felt so dumb doing it did you develop. strategies and like how to talk to.
people no no I just hated it I like it's. weird to just be on the street as a. sales and be like hey come to this show. and I think that's only a New York City. thing it might be have you seen it. before where are you here on Sixth. Street oh in Austin for other things too. for stand-up shows for stand up yes and. I've seen it for other shows here too no. [ __ ] probably not shows I wonder if they. got it from New York. I want I wonder I don't know I haven't. paid attention I'd always heard of it. but primarily as a New York thing I knew. a lot of New York guys used to do that.
in the early days yeah and especially in. Manhattan everyone's walking so you can. just catch people like that yeah. I was not good at it at all Manhattan's. an interesting place for comedy you know. because there's so many clubs so many. clubs even so many like good bar shows. and like lounges so you can get a lot of. stage time yeah. and there's a lot of comics there too. there's so many comics and a lot of. people kind of sprung up after the. pandemic too. like a lot of people that had like.
social media big social media presence. and then they just kind of switched into. stand up like if you're just doing funny. videos right so I think there's more. people like that too doing stand up. well if your job got taken away from you. during the pandemic I would imagine that. would be a good time to try stand up if. you'd always want sure while you're. getting money from the government of. course. how many Open Mic nights do they have. they have a lot of open mic nights oh. there's mics every night really you can. do probably like six a night if you like. set it up right you could do a ton of.
mics wow but they're expensive what do. you mean you gotta pay you gotta pay. like five bucks or buy a drink or cause. like what are they getting out of it if. you don't do that what is like this bar. getting you have to pay to do stand up. yeah wow and you're doing it for other. Comics so you're not doing it for like. audience usually sometimes most of the. time and people still don't quit wow you. think you would weed them out what kind. of an audience you're talking about like. how many people are supposed to be there.
I mean I haven't done in a long time but. when I was doing it you're say there's. 15 comics on the mic you're doing for. those 15 people and if it's a random bar. maybe some people will come in off the. street or like at the bar but yeah. you're doing it for comments so you're. paying to do comedy to your peers yes. wow. why am I surprised by that. what go ahead it sounds a lot like. that's why not just go to stand up. school dinner classes or whatever you. know well paying for I think it is it is. Stand-Up school but it's like there's no.
teacher right but it is Stand-Up school. it's just like you're you're on a path. yeah I mean that's I know in other. places like my friend had come from. Seattle and was doing stand-up she said. like in Seattle There's an actual. audience like you know there might be a. hundred people so it's a show yeah but. in New York that's not it's a lot of. comics in the audience hmm. Comics are like looking at their own. notes and not necessarily paying. attention do any of the good clubs have. open mics like does the seller have an.
open mic night no. I know the stand has an open mic night. and maybe near Comedy Club. I think you kind of have to have an open. mic. this the seller doesn't. hmm. it seems like it would be better if it. did I know it wouldn't be better. financially you know it's always no but. if you did it during the day when you're. not having shows anyway. it's just people need places to go up. and they it's like if if your growth. process is dependent upon you doing. stand up in front of 15 comics.
well that's why you know you start. barking or I would intern for like 10. hours on a Friday night seating the. customers and then like get a five. minute spot you'd an intern yeah I did. wild stuff like that's how I I came up. doing stand-up because I was like the. open mics are just a lot like other new. Comics so so you would in turn meaning. you'd work for free I'd work for free. you could do a five minute set and me. and a lot of times that set's gonna get. canceled. so you'd work for free work for free.
never get compensated no you either. sometimes got a spot or sometimes didn't. see You'd work for free for 10 hours. yeah for a five minute spot that may not. happen. well that will Funk and weed out the. week. yeah but like not like my family life. was so dysfunctional that that seemed. normal I was like this seems like okay. this seems average to me like it's just. used to disappointment yeah you're just. used to it you're like this seems.
average it seems like what I've been. dealing with wow. well you found your tribe. I found my tribe yeah. wild tribe it's just so interesting when. you meet someone like Ari like when I. met him at the very beginning and to see. him now. it's funny. just it's fascinating watching these uh. broken toys Meander their way through. our society. it's funny me and him were talking last. night. um at your club and he was just talking.
about like I guess dating people and. stuff and he's like well you and I are. broken I was like I was like what are. you talking about he's like Adrian. like nobody's nobody's going they want. to date somebody like you he's like you. need a lot of time to yourself and I was. like oh he's not wrong and he's the same. way too like he just he was telling me. about like this couple he had met that. they lit they're married 40 years but. they live in different houses and he's. like they have a great relationship they. don't fight about like the little things.
that a lot of people do when you live. together and he's like they have a great. relationship and I was like that's not. the worst idea it's not the worst idea. the idea that you have to be in the same. house together it's like says oh. people like a little space yeah I mean. at one point I had a two-bedroom. apartment me and my ex-boyfriend slept. separately I mean we were also had a. terrible relationship but like we had. our own bedrooms. [Music]. um. like I wouldn't be opposed to that it. doesn't seem like the worst thing in the. world but whenever you see a couple when. they don't sleep in the same bed anymore.
you're like. I know we all judge them but I'm like. they're sleeping great that's Mark's. room over there I sleep over here I know. but if you say it like that's his room. this is my room I think you gotta figure. out how we were saying it. yeah and then also some people like to. sleep in the room really [ __ ] cold. mm-hmm and that shit's annoying if you. don't like that I like I like like a fan. all year round I like the noise the. noise yeah yeah. there's something about like static.
noise that does help you sleep yeah. I just like it I like the sound of an. air conditioner like in the summer. I slept at this house in Malibu once by. the ocean. and uh I we rented it out for a couple. months and uh when you're in bed and you. just hear this. that sounds like really relaxing. it is so it's weird it's like it's like. hypnotic yeah and it's also it's so. powerful you're you're laying down the.
base of just insane force of nature. this immense body of water and you've. got the audacity to sleep your edges at. the edges where this impossible amount. of water laps up. that's where you want to put your house. I've had nightmares about like just a. tsunami just like engulfing my house. I loved being at that place but it was. very Illuminating it's a very. Illuminating why rich people want to.
live like right on the water in Malibu. because I was like why do I want to live. right next to each other like that. that's crazy and then you like rent a. house there and you're like oh I get it. this is like magic There's Something. Magic about the watermelon I live on a. beach It's Magic it's like it gives you. magic energy it's crazy is there. something about it like being right. there it's like wow this feels it feels. like I'm on a drug and it's so calming. so calming. at nighttime is terrifying the same. water that looks so inviting in the.
daytime it's blue and you see the. seagulls and it's beautiful at night. time it becomes an angry monster that. can swallow civilization just dark dark. black you don't know what you can't see. anything you don't know what it's an. immense thing and at any point in time. the Earth could just a little shift and. then a [ __ ] big one comes in. and just all the way to Arizona. just all the way to Arizona.
I think anything at night is a lot. scarier oh yeah I gotta come home three. o'clock at night and I'll have to park. two blocks away I'm just like I have. like you know pepper spray in my hand. and I have the whole thing yeah whereas. during the day it's like just different. I know different some things are really. scary. but only in certain circumstances like. babies are never scary but. if you were in a moonlit forest and. you're walking through the forest you. saw a naked baby just staring at you by.
itself you would [ __ ] your pants I would. definitely not help it if you saw a baby. just standing upright just looking at. you naked yeah moving forward in the. middle of nowhere you had a hike in and. you see a naked baby you're like I gotta. get the [ __ ] out of here yeah. first of all I'd be like where's this. kid's parents right for sure for sure. you'd be wearing these kids pants but. you'd also be like why is there a naked. baby staring at me like a grown person. It's gotta be evil right anything at.
night like that it's evil you think it's. a demon during the day you're like look. at this baby it's standing if I was a. demon I would disguise myself as a baby. it's a good move everybody thinks you're. cute. our cute dog. or a cute dog yeah definitely not that. whip it yeah they were kind of cute it's. still a cute face. you know didn't have a mean like pit. bull looking face yeah I would pick. something else over it they have cows. like that too really yeah when not on. Jack they look like yeah they're cute. yeah they do whippets are really fast.
too that looks like a greyhound yeah. real similar. look at that little cutie. um it's just myostatin inhibitor Gene. this Gene is [ __ ] up on some of them. it's oh it's related to the Greyhound it. makes sense it looks like and apart from. a smaller size closely resembles it. sometimes describes as the poor man's. ground yeah they're fast little [ __ ]. um what is that myostatin Gene like what. is what what causes that. because it happens in cows too they've.
had any in dairy cows it's crazy like. you see a cow just [ __ ] super hot if. you drink that milk are you gonna get no. ripped no it's a gene thing it's an. inherited muscular disorder. yeah what's crazy you see like a baby. that looks like a bodybuilder it's weird. it's a deficiency deficiency yeah it's. myostatin neighborhood myostatin. deficiency whippet types and hairy. muscular disorder affecting whippets. dogs that inherit two copies of the. mutation associated with myostatin. deficiency whippet type have broad.
chests and overly developed muscles. especially of the neck and legs as well. as an overbite. um see if you can find that in cows. myostatin just right myostatin cows. yeah so look at that cow look at the. size of a dairy cow that's a girl. look how jacked she is I wonder if. that's more attractive to the balls. I wonder right are they like that one. like a guy was in a CrossFit checks yeah. yeah. look at that isn't that wild.
look at the size of that goddamn thing. born without the protein myostatin yeah. so myostatin I guess is what regulates. muscle growth. that's why they were experimenting with. that with human beings too and I know. I'm sure like Eastern Bloc countries are. doing that for the Olympics and [ __ ]. like that. I would imagine. but um yeah they did some mice look at.
the muskowitzer and these mice crazy. what's crazy is they just skin these. mice and we don't give a [ __ ] if I see. one of those in my house I'd move out. look at that [ __ ] back on that dude. um. what would they've done it with like. people have been born with it too I know. that there was like a German boy that. was born with it it was [ __ ] jacked. like a little kid. it's crazy yeah so like how's that kid. going to play sports like what's gonna. happen that's not fair it's like you're. playing sports with the Hulk.
I mean we'll find out in like 15 years. yeah the greatest running back of all. time I just like playing chess I really. don't want to be right I don't want to. be on the football team he's like the. Hulk playing chess yeah yeah maybe maybe. he Rebels because everybody wants him to. get into physical Pursuits he's like. [ __ ] you yeah look at that kid net knots. Vietnamese boy. so he's got it that dude's gonna be. popular in high school. that is crazy nuts. isn't that nuts imagine going to school.
with that kid you'd be so jealous like. God damn it when you love it if he's. your brother though and anyone picks on. you unless your brother wants you to. [ __ ] eat [ __ ] well that's true he. makes eat [ __ ] but he also sticks up for. you at school yeah if he's a good. brother but if your brother's mean and. he's got that you're [ __ ] I feel like. you torture your your brother or sister. but you don't let somebody else do it. I know guys that had terrible brothers. who beat them up all their life but do.
they let other people also beat them up. if someone's beating you up but they. protect you from being occasionally. beaten up by others what's the price you. pay. is that I'm not willing to make that you. used to sleep with in the same [ __ ]. house as that [ __ ] maybe your parents. hopefully are there sometimes and. they're stopping it sometimes oh now. you're unrealistic teaching he's gonna. make a fighter yeah you do make Fighters. that's what I'm talking about a lot of. the guys that I'm talking about are. Fighters they were just really beaten up. by their brothers.
and they're the scariest guys because. they're not afraid to fight because they. fought their whole life and it doesn't. matter if they're little either they're. Scrappy. yeah one of the best guys ever in the. UFC Matt Hughes. former Welterweight Champion had a. brother who's his twin. and they were both like Elite wrestlers. and they both just beat the [ __ ] out of. each other. and it led to him becoming the UFC. welterweight champion of the world and. one of the greatest of all time I mean. that is it's just like the guy that went. to prison it didn't happen that way yeah.
a negative turned into a positive yeah I. can see it that way. I knew another dude though he got beat. up by his brother and just destroyed his. confidence his whole life his whole life. I became friends with him like in my 20s. and that sucks it was a bummer man he. could just like not get past it he. couldn't you know I wonder if and he'd. never done MDMA. I hadn't either at the time I wonder if. that would have helped him in any way. just recognize what the root of it was. but it just like really [ __ ] with his.
confidence. he would get like really close to. getting good at stuff but he almost had. like this self-defense self-sabotage. thing that would kick in because. everybody had already always taken. things from him like you know it had. always been like he thought things were. going to go well and his brother just. [ __ ] it up and beat him up or took. things from him humiliated him and so he. never felt like real success so he was. always scared to get to like progress in. life so he'd always self-sabotage his.
life because he just thought everything. was going to turn to [ __ ] but he was a. good guy and a smart guy and just. trapped by this childhood you know. repeated beatings that he got. all right well maybe it's not great. always. maybe it's not always going to turn out. well sometimes it's good though. sometimes it's good some if the brother. is a good guy if you're both good good. people like you know Brothers fight and. they make up and they apologize sure. just like friends do you know friends. fight and make up something when you're.
young. me and my sister would fight a lot just. for kids yeah you're three years apart. I remember my mom was like still hitting. me until I was like about 16 and then at. one point I was like hey I'm gonna hit. you back and then she stopped because at. some point you become almost like right. yeah but that's kind of how like we grew. up like my mom got into a fist fight at. my sister's kindergarten graduation. like I'm like you're fighting over. [ __ ] kindergarteners no one cares. they've accomplished nothing oh my God.
I watched a shooting over a high school. football game oh my God I saw that too. oh that was terrible oh. horrible. horrible so sad. just such a [ __ ]. just a terrible thing we're just people. with their kids and emotions and sports. people get so nutty. with their kids with sports you know I. am I like I'm like big on like saying.
you did a great job and cheering and. stuff like that but. I would never yell about the other team. and some parents are like what about him. what about offense what about you know. what about that foul what about that. foul he's a cheater yelling like that's. a six-year-old like you're out of your. [ __ ] mind like let them play it says. play. you should clap when they do a good job. she said was it fun did you enjoy it.
what was it hard was it hard to make. that goal like talk to them but don't. get too goddamn emotionally invested in. a [ __ ] game your kids in like cheer. be enthusiastic for them but [ __ ] people. get so hyped that's a bad call and they. jump up and next thing you know gunshots. [ __ ] that's crazy now you've really. ended the game there's no way to even. recover from this right now you've ended. your whole life you've ended your whole. life your whole life done.
I think two sometimes like parents also. think they can push their kids to be. like great athletes and then they'll be. famous so yeah well there's also like. your kids gonna do the thing that you. didn't do. right yeah you wanted to do but you. didn't do it. what's interesting is my mom kind of got. me into stand up because she did stand. up and then she quit and then she got me. into it and then when she saw I was. doing some stuff she was like I'm gonna. go back into it wow yeah is she doing it. now. she does she does a lot of urban rooms. really yeah is she good she's funny she.
I mean like we're a little bit different. but like she still has that same dark. sense of humor but she won't she doesn't. really do those jokes like sometimes. she'll think of something and she's like. you could you could do this like she one. time we were clothes shopping and she'll. always say something like. if she'll take two larges and she's like. well one large might be bigger than the. other because the kids that are making. them maybe one of the kids was tired. like so she'll say stuff like that and. she's like I can't say that on stage but. you should.
just do stuff like that. um my whole family was funny though. growing up so was that just when when. did you first think about doing stand-up. um I was probably like in my early 20s. like I always wanted to be on SNL I. never really wanted to do stand-up. comedy I wanted to be on SNL and then my. mom was like well if you want to be on. SNL you have to like do stand up so I. just started doing stand-up and then I. started liking it but like I didn't want. to be a stand-up comic as a kid really.
yeah what was it like was who was the. the people on SNL like what era was this. Will Ferrell. you know Chris Farley those guys like. that was people that I kind of grew up. with and loved Molly Shannon shario. Terry like that whole crew yeah that was. a great crew yeah. so that's kind of where I was like oh I. want to do that and she's like well you. have to do stand-up and I had zero. interest in doing it had you done any. drama or anything in school. you know we did like plays as kids I I.
was like in the sound of music I played. that lady. [Laughter]. yes a female yeah so like I did stuff. like that. um but I just I don't know I was always. kind of like a Class Clown as a kid oh. so then I wanted to do that and now I'm. like not really the same as that it's. weird because you get it all out on. stage. no but I'm just saying I was like a. Class Clown but I was also like loud and. like boisterous where I'm not that same. person anymore. um or I don't think I am anyway what.
calmed it. I don't know I think just depression. I don't know I think as a kid I just. even though my life looking back was not. ideal I still felt really happy. you know like I didn't realize like all. the issues as a kid really. so um. I don't know. and then where'd you start out. oh um New York City I'm from New York. right I've lived in the Bronx my whole.
life so I started in New York so it's. also weird too because you're like. starting in a place where people won't. move until they're really good. so I started in New York uh just being. shitty where did where did you start at. a bar where would you start the first. place I went to was in Brooklyn it was. I guess an open mic it was in like a big. Italian restaurant there were four. people there what year was this. 2004. wow my mom was there my mom went. on she did well.
and then I went up and I was like so. high energy because I was so nervous. and I remember one of my jokes was about. like I was working in the South Bronx as. a crime victims advocate at the time and. I got pulled over for not wearing a seat. belt while someone was selling drugs. right near me and I was like just the. lunacy of it where I was like why am I. getting this guy's clearly selling drugs. to somebody that was like one of my. first jokes something like that. and then when you got off stage did you. think this is something I'm gonna do.
more of were you yeah I I think because. that show went well even though there. were four people I was like I'm gonna. keep doing this. that show went well and there's four. people there were four wow and it was in. a huge Italian restaurant that was like. closing like they were like going out of. business. so there was nobody there wow. and so then when was the next one. I didn't wait that long maybe a couple. days later I remember like. driving into Manhattan and going to do. this uh Open Mic called Collective.
unconscious and it's like wild like. there was a guy there at one point that. had like elephantitis so he would go on. stage naked and his balls were humongous. and he had like this tiny dick in it he. was making people uncomfortable because. he was doing he was like naked the whole. show like sitting in the audience and. people were like you gotta wear clothes. until you get on stage. and then he was like all right but like. he would just be sitting there and like. his bare ass is on the chair right so. people were like hey can you drop a chip.
yeah can you just wear your clothes. until you're on stage doing that God but. that was like a weird collection of. people. yeah I would I would imagine a guy that. would fit in there just everything like. where they would the only requirement. would be just wear your clothes until. you get on stage and not at first they. let him do that until he was creepy so. like if he didn't act like a creepster. he could have just he could have just. been naked the whole time. yeah but like they were okay with it at. first they were like all right and it's.
not like he did anything great on stage. it was just seeing his huge balls. which is nuts I don't know how you're. like. elephant tights are like this big. they're huge so like as big as a head. maybe like half of that half a head for. one though and so like yeah maybe that. whole thing and then like you can't even. see the dick. once you feel bad for him. I didn't even feel bad I was just like. gross. I don't really care about your [ __ ].
big balls did you find out about the. different mics from your mom. no I went on to uh like. there's a couple of websites you go on. to where they have a bunch of different. open mics and you could do a couple and. remember it was a lottery so if there's. 30 people and you get picked first you. can pick one lineup you want to go and I. would just pick like 30 because I was so. nervous and just stay there for hours. wow yeah it's an interesting group of. people though and then sometimes my mom. will come to come with me and at that.
time I was dating a guy who would also. come so the three of us would go. yeah interesting were they encouraging. yeah will you be my mom yeah and the guy. you're dating yeah yeah I mean me and. him met we were both brand new and then. my mom was encouraging because I think. she was just like well maybe you'll hit. it and you'll help me and I was like it. should be the other way around. it's interesting people that you meet. when you're doing open mics. it's a fascinating fascinating. introduction to like this weird world of.
weirdos of weirdos and Desperation and. mental illness and mental illness. like like really nutty people yeah and. you could do anything there so you could. not only do comedy you could do like. poetry you could sing so it was like a. variety you should open mind kind of. wow and you can get upstairs and show. your balls. yeah that guy was doing did anybody ever. try to do that that had regular balls. after that because imagine if they found.
out there's a place you could just get. naked in front of people and they had to. look at you. I mean I not while I was there I never. seen anyone that was like following him. with like regular balls. they're like here's the big ball guy. another small guy yeah I mean like. that's what I'm asking like once a. precedent is set that you could be on. stage naked like is it only if you look. weird. I think they would let you do whatever. you wanted there as long as it wasn't of. like creeping people out like they'd. probably let you go on stage and spread. your ass cheeks and stuff in it like I. think they would be over to whatever you.
wanted to do but you had to try you were. just you could set a precedent every. time you know. thank God for people like that running. those kind of establishments it was fun. yeah and you know there was a lot of. like you know my mom would come. sometimes she'd be like that guy's. really talented but he would just be. like an alcoholic she'd be like he's not. gonna go anywhere I never seen him after. that but like yeah a lot of people in. common it's not the funniest people that. make it right yeah oh I remember a lot. of people that were really talented in. the early days I'm like why is this guy.
not making it and then there was a lot. of people that were really talented and. then they were on their way to making it. like they were doing well and headlining. and then they just fell apart. like something in their life happened or. like yeah schizophrenia like there's. that with some of them you know or some. other sort of mental disease yeah yeah. sometimes people crack. there's a lot of pressure involved. I was thinking that just just the. pressure of constantly performing doing. SATs writing new materials having to.
sell tickets doing radio sure yeah. there's a lot of stress in that and then. I think for some people when things. start getting more and more hectic. whatever problems that they and as you. get older too like people that are like. tend to have mental illnesses they. exacerbate they get better they get. worse rather when they get older I could. see that especially if it's not treated. yeah. so a lot of these people like. you'd meet them and then you know you. did open mics together like you you were.
in the trenches together starting out. and then you see him like 20 years later. and it didn't work like they you know. see him at an open mic night again and. they're still doing kind of the same. material. I've seen that too people that were. really talented and they just you know. lost it to drugs or alcohol or yeah. you're like oh that's a shame because. that person definitely could have went. far how many people out of the starting. class of you where you were at were the. people you remember in the early days. are still around.
bunch I mean. I don't know. I guess I went to a lot of different. open mics and shows so but there's a lot. of people I kind of started with I guess. um. I don't know I guess I remember like. some I've watched I've also watched. people. quit and I've seen the moment they've. quit um. like I remember being at a show and this. guy was like humping the stool and this. other guy couldn't get on the show and. he saw that and he's like I can't. believe I can't get on the show and then. he quit.
and then that guy who I thought would. have went far because he was he was. talented I mean not hoping this door. wasn't great but like he was talented. and then like all the clubs he worked at. closed and he quit like he didn't just. go to another club he just was like all. right I'm gonna sell real estate. yeah. you have to be really mentally ill to. stay the path. absolutely that's why I think I did all. that stuff and just thought it was. normal like I I didn't think like I. shouldn't be treated like this yeah I.
didn't have a path that was nearly as. hard I was really lucky that in Boston. in the 1980s there was a lot of open mic. nights at legitimate clubs so I started. stitches which was a legitimate Club in. Boston it was a great club and uh on the. open mic nights Not only was it an open. mic night but it was hosted by a. professional it's got George McDonald. and then a lot of really good. professionals from town would stop in so. you get to see people there was so much. better than than you you could see like. these brilliant Comedians and so it was. a real good scene for development.
because all the clubs had an open mic. night every Club had an open mic night. was there audience or it was oh yeah oh. okay yeah yeah you would go to an open. mic like when I went to an open mic. night there was like 50 people in the. Crowd Oh yeah yeah a lot better it was. good it was good because first of all. they called it comedy hell it was uh. George McDonald who was a known stand-up. in Boston so he was like headlining all. over the place ever anyway so people. knew who he was and then he would go on. and he was like a real veteran he'd been. doing comedy forever and he was one of.
the guys that came up through the Ding. Ho and you know that whole uh when. stand-up stood out documentary have you. ever seen that amazing it was really. good that was all about those guys right. and so you could always get people that. would go because he would always be. funny anyway it's only like [ __ ] five. bucks to get in or something like that. and you go and have a couple of drinks. and hopefully somebody funny will come. by and you as an open Miker got to go on. stage in that environment it was. incredible it was amazing did you mean a. lot of comics that like took you on the. road no.
no. um mostly what happened was I did well. enough in open mics that. um one guy took me on the road that was. actually George's brother Warren Warren. McDonald took me on the road that was. the first time I ever got paid and the. second time I ever got paid. um someone had introduced me to this guy. Mike Clark who was Lenny Clark's brother. so I got to open for Lenny Clark the. second time I ever got paid. it was insane because he had already. done HBO and uh Lenny you know was super.
sweet to me he said I'm really funny he. gave me a bunch of advice then his. brother started using me so his brother. would use me to open in these like weird. little bar shows all over the country. all over like the New Hampshire area of. Connecticut he had like gigs everywhere. and you would go and do these [ __ ]. crazy bar shows so I learned how to do. stand up. from Mostly from going on the road. mostly doing bar shows right so like a. year in I was just traveling doing a. half an hour that's how people are stand.
up outside of New York yeah. didn't you say you don't like performing. in Connecticut Connecticut sucks. you know I did like a charity show there. and I got taken off stage ah we pulled. you off stage yeah for what. so. I love this no it's Connecticut that was. Connecticut okay so what happened. um so I you know like 500 people there. there's I guess they were making uh it. was for kids that were like you know. less fortunate I guess giving them food. or you know opportunities or whatever.
and. uh I was like I don't know how this is. gonna go. so the girl before me is doing really. well she did a joke about pedophiles I. get on stage and I was like oh I wasn't. gonna do my joke about that but I was. like oh these people love that joke that. she did. and this is allegedly so I don't I don't. know exactly why but allegedly this is. why I think I was taken off stage so I'm. going up I'm doing well I'm getting like. a plus break so I'm like oh I could. definitely do this joke. and the joke is about how I want to be.
rich but not too rich I want to stop. right before it's okay to [ __ ] kids. and these these are very rich people and. I didn't think they were that rich. and one of the punch lines is like about. comparing like poor pedophiles to Rich. pedophiles and how like a poor part of I. was like a guy that works at UBS at. [ __ ] a kid and it's sad but like how. rich people [ __ ] kids and it's like a. party you know they're on a boat. high-fiving each other. and I did that joke and I lost a lot of. the audience and I was like okay.
and then I did a couple more jokes and. it was like definitely different in the. room and then somebody came on stage and. got me off and. I was like what's weird is like. everyone's like aren't you mad I'm like. no this is not my first charity show. I've done taken off stage like I. shouldn't do these shows whenever people. ask me I'm like I don't think I'm ready. for this how many minutes were you in. before 15. so you'd kill him for 15. minutes yeah and I think I can. definitely do this joke because this. girl now her joke wasn't as specific but. what I was told later is like allegedly. there's a guy in the community who is a.
rich pedophile with a boat that was. [ __ ] kids in the community and I was. like I'm like how why know that and I. was like oh that makes a lot of sense oh. damn it if you didn't do that joke if I. didn't do that joke I would have been. fine because they liked me they really. did like me oh my God you were making. fun of them and you're being mean to me. I didn't think they were Rich enough I. didn't think they were [ __ ] kids Rich. you know I mean like well it was. probably just one guy yes well okay but.
maybe I don't know the pedophile the. rich people pedophile ring is one of the. scariest conspiracies. I mean so I get off stage I'm fine. because I think I would be more upset if. I didn't get taken off stage in another. charity show and uh everyone the other. comic Corey Rodriguez was like [ __ ]. pissed he was like aren't you mad I'm. like Hey listen if they want me off. stage I'll get off stage I've already. gotten paid I get that my comedy is not. for everybody and I know that you know. maybe as an earlier comic it would have. hurt my feelings I'm like I get that so.
he goes on stage and he's like he's. upset about what happened and there are. people in the audience that are also. upset it was like I split the room which. is what I do a lot and then he was like. well Adrian's still here so if you. enjoyed her like let her know and then. people were standing and clapping so. it's like people that had those people. and then people who were clapping when I. got taken off oh so I was like yeah I'm. just not doing any more charity shows. yeah well you don't have to at this. point no and I just don't think I'm. right for it but I always ask these. people too because the guy that booked.
it Eddie Brill who uh I know Eddie yeah. he's great awesome God too yes and he. was at the when I opened for my Louis at. Madison Square Garden he was there and. saw it and he was like I said to him I. go do you think I'm right for this gig. and he's like yeah if they can't take a. joke [ __ ] them and I'm like are you sure. because he had seen a lot of the jokes. that I did yeah and he was like yeah I. think you'll be fine. you would have been fine I would have if. I didn't do that one joke but I didn't. how would I know there's no way to know.
it the joke was fine if it wasn't for. that one neighborhood where that. actually happened that how the [ __ ]. could you know that I mean I've I've. made a mistake of doing a school. shooting joke too close to somewhere so. that I would start looking that up is. has there been a school shooting in this. area I was like I guess that's a new. thing to look up Jesus there's no way to. know that yeah how did you do that. that's a great story though yeah sounds. like they were okay they were okay and. there were a lot of people in the. audience that were still okay and they.
were like we left we thought it was. funny and they're like [ __ ] them yeah. they probably didn't know anybody who. knew somebody who had a kid that got. [ __ ] I think they were just like hey. also I was like well that seems like a. you problem yeah like don't get mad at. me not only that I'm sorry the joke was. accurate yeah that's what's crazy that. is what's crazy yeah anywhere anywhere. else you do that joke in Montana people. are laughing their ass off you do it. there yeah yeah. so they were like no that's not why you. got taken off stage you got they're. saying that I got taken off stage for an.
adoption joke. what was the adoption job. you don't have to tell it. um. I don't know but if there was a lady who. had also adopted a kid and they thought. she was interacting with me they thought. that she was angry and she wasn't like. she when I was talking to her after she. was like I wasn't upset oh so it was an. excuse. I don't know they're just saying that. yeah I don't know so allegedly that's. what happened and they're just like. that's not what happened I'm like all. right one of my best friends lives in. Connecticut just for just. that is one of mine I love him but.
Connecticut can suck it. it's weird because like I've gone there. and done shows opening for Louis and. they've been great like there are people. there that are fun but then there's also. the other people that are like. don't get comedy at all this is the. problem with Connecticut it's not a real. state. it's a highway between Boston and New. York sure and the problem is there's no. hope there. like nobody like hopes they moved to. Hartford I mean there are people I hope. they move to Greenwich though yeah so.
you can be with all those boat riding. pedophile type people maybe well there's. a lot of Rich folks that live in those. Havens right where everything's like. tucked away and Grand manners and huge. houses and yes Great Gatsby type [ __ ]. there's a lot of those folks but I don't. they're just like people that have a. house on an island you know what I mean. like are you really from Hawaii or do. you have a [ __ ] house in Maui you. know what I mean yeah it's like they've. they've kind of incorporated into the. area yeah Connecticut like cease to.
exist nobody would care it's just a. weird place because. I mean I've met a lot of fun people from. Connecticut but it's the place itself. has a low vibration it's like there's. not a lot of Hope and exciting things. it's not it's not like going to. Manhattan it's not like going to Boston. it's not like it's not like you know. going to La it's not like it's not like. even like Austin which is only a million. people it's not like Dallas where it's.
fun it's [ __ ] gloomy there's. something gloomy they have amazing Pizza. in New Haven though oh yeah I know that. Pizzeria [ __ ] there's a lot of pizzerias. in New Haven I like going to Connecticut. because I do like how it is a slower. Pace like I've lived in New York City in. my whole life I like hate it if I wasn't. doing stand-up I wouldn't live there. that's where Lyme disease came from the. Bronx or Connecticut that sounds about. right that's their contribution yeah I. think everybody Lyme disease I don't. know if that's true isn't it like lime.
Connecticut is that where it was. originally. and that's something like that. there's a CIA conspiracy about the uh. Lyme disease. what is the CIA saying no no no no I. mean not real not like the CIA but like. the The Kooks. and I don't even you don't know if. they're Kooks that it was a bio weapon. that accidentally got released. that these infected ticks were part of a. lab program. I don't know maybe is it like covid just. made it alive. but they definitely do things like that.
in some countries somewhere they. definitely make bio weapons but whether. or not Lyme disease is one of them. but goddamn that's a terrible one to get. I know a lot of people that got Lyme. disease you don't die from it right you. get [ __ ] up if you don't get it. treated quickly. like is it like physically debilitating. oh debilitating depending upon you know. the severity obviously but um I know. people that have had horrible joint pain. neck pain spinal they're just in agony.
all the time yeah and then people have. just lost all of their all their like. energy they just feel depleted that. sucks and a lot of times they don't even. recognize it in people because if you. don't get it treated if you don't get it. uh diagnosed while you still have like. there's like a bullseye ring around the. tick bite if when it initially becomes. infected okay and if they don't catch. that. um if they don't find that then they. don't know it's Lyme disease so they. don't start treating you with. antibiotics they might think oh you know. seems fine your vitals check fine and.
then it progresses worse and worse and. my friend's son was five years old and. he developed Bell's Palsy so his face. went numb and then finally they realized. it was. um it was a tick bite and finally they. realized they had Lyme disease so they. gave them antibiotics and he recovered. my friend was [ __ ] up for at least a. year he had lost a [ __ ] ton away he got. real skinny I mean it really wrecked him. Lyme disease is rough that sucks and. it's everywhere there's so many ticks.
that have lime it's all over the place. on the East Coast. I feel like that's not something in the. Bronx. I don't know if it's wrong there's not a. lot of grass but if there's deer if. there's deer there's ticks yeah anywhere. there's deer if you see deer and a lot. of other animals there's ticks and when. any place where there's ticks you might. have wine if there's deer in the Bronx. they're lost. there's a story about a deer that was. like in Locust Point and they're like.
this does not belong together [ __ ] up. yeah. that sucks though you guys have coyotes. though. I mean people no actually coyotes. there's really they've photographed. coyotes in the Bronx where like. Vancouver park or something in abandoned. houses and Sheriff it's crazy I wonder. where they're coming from they're all. over the world now or all over the. country rather they're in every single. state I have never seen a coyote in the. Bronx coyote spotted in the Bronx look. at that uh where in the Bronx oh River. riverdale's not really the Bronx though.
right there yeah but that's Riverdale. what's Riverdale it's like Bronx light. that's what people call it well just. like just because you saw him there he's. on a street he doesn't know he's in. Bronx light he doesn't I think he's in. the Bronx but he's not he's in Bronx. light someplace where someone threw out. pizza okay over the last several decades. coyotes have been expanding their. natural range in response to ample food. and open habitat the parks department. said in a statement coders are living. within the city limits we're aware of. coyotes living in the Bronx queens and.
Manhattan [ __ ] yeah how about that I. might have to kill a coyote if you kill. them they just make more babies. that's why they're here that's literally. why they're here when you kill coyotes. the female coyotes know that one of. them's missing so they make more pups I. mean you don't think someone you think. they know this one's in the Bronx by. itself. I don't think it's by itself you think. it's with other people. 100 they're pack animals they're also. cute too they're adorable until they're. jumping over a fence with your chicken.
in their mouth. if I had to I would kill it I'll hit my. dog for sure you would you'd have to it. is really cute looks like a dog well if. you live here you can carry a gun. coyote runs up on you blast them the. Coyotes out here they don't even yell. I went uh I went to a gun range and I. was like oh I love this I would love a. gun but I think I would I couldn't have. it in the Bronx no it's not legal. unfortunately that's not why I think I. would just anytime someone did something. yeah a very bad uh road rage I think.
it's just from living in New York City. my whole life and driving yeah yeah it's. not good maybe you should move the. character no [ __ ] way of a nice Rural. Life may I have to be rich to live there. would you live in one of those houses. one of them Great Gatsby houses. I don't want a big house like that those. houses are crazy. yeah I don't need something extravagant. like that show me some of them crazy. what is it what's that one town oh it's. the Gilded Age but uh what is that one. question I'm gonna live in Westchester. it's still pretty close to Manhattan.
that's nice yeah it's like an estate. yeah. succession type [ __ ] yeah look at that. house that is insane that's Connecticut. because people are funny these people. are wild yeah that's insane wild money. look at that one in Eureka California. Holyfield where's Eureka. [Music]. all right I don't know what I like it's. in Orange County that's where they found. gold to guarantee you Eureka. yeah it's in New York Westbury wow look.
at that beautiful house 200 Acres who. wants that me yeah I don't I've lived in. like one Manning pad that's actually. cool I want to see the ones in. Connecticut though can you see like. mansions. there's like one area of Connecticut. where my friend that I was talking about. earlier actually works at a school there. he lives in Connecticut and he he said. like all these people are billionaires. they all have like these Preposterous. houses. I mean that's so much of a house to keep.
up with it definitely is I guess you're. rich though so you're not keeping up. with it it's not like a website that. details them because they're like pretty. famous for being extravagant and they're. also everyone's keeping up with the. Joneses so there's like you know the guy. who's the CEO of Biotech down the road. he's got a bigger house we're gonna. expand our pool and so they they're all. going ham. you gotta do something with that hedge. fund money. yeah I guess I don't know if I'd do that. what would you do I don't know am I. still doing comedy yeah yeah I gotta.
stop doing comedy. um I don't know I would like I honestly. love animals I would love to have like a. sanctuary for like animals yeah not all. animals obviously I should have brought. Marshall I didn't know you should have. brought me such a animal lover. you'd want to steal him I know he's. really cute are you saying that aren't. you guys gonna bring your dogs to go uh. play oh yeah yeah me and him yeah his. dog Bandit she's awesome or he's awesome. he calls it a girl sometimes but I think. it's a boy no I think it's a girl is it. I'm pretty sure he calls it a boy.
sometimes too though you know yeah he's. that's yeah it's a girl though he makes. out with it yeah he's making out with my. dog I took my dog here also yeah that is. weird. I don't even he could die. like people I would be okay with that I. think Ari feels like he lives his life. to the fullest and if he died at any. point okay. I better be [ __ ] his pants the last. few hours like if he was on that. submarine yeah. people finally died I think well we're. not gonna know.
what they said is that if they made it. all the way to the bottom unfortunately. the bottom is just mud it's undulating. mud and you know they might have just. sunk right into it. it's horrific when you hear that they've. had moments in the past where they lost. contact for hours with with other subs. and they're still doing it the same way. like that that whole thing is so insane. that sub can't pilot itself. there's no line attached to it it just.
goes down to remote control that's. controlling the boat has to be above it. for it to work. thing to me is like these people went. down there to go see the Titanic if you. told me I could watch that on TV I still. wouldn't want to watch it like I can't. imagine doing that Brian Simpson pointed. this out yesterday this is what's even. more insane they're not even seeing it. through like a big window. all right you were saying that you're. seeing through screens. they're there's cameras on the outside. of it as they pilot it around they're. seeing it on screens there's like one. small window what is the point.
I like to do dangerous [ __ ] to say they. did dangerous [ __ ] they want to. experience things they want to yeah they. want to go to the bottom of the ocean. see the Titan. I know but like it's a there's a. billionaire but who are the other people. that were with him well one of them was. one of the guy's son he's a 19 year old. son yeah [ __ ] Jesus crazy. Jesus Christ. it's so scary what a scary way to die.
I know and it's like it's your own fault. yeah that's the other thing yeah you. chose to do that and not only that there. was a small window of time where they. could do it because the weather was. really bad oh. [ __ ] but then they also make it. themselves. no this company has sent I think was it. 100 voyages they've done 100 voyages. no but I'm saying the actual submarine. didn't they like make this do you want. people saying they got it like stuff at. Home Depot well there's a company that. built it and the company apparently.
there was a whistleblower who had. complained that the the hull was not. really established to be able to. tolerate the amount of pressure that. they were putting it under by several. thousand feet. a remote operated vehicle found five. major pieces of debris from the. submersible about sixteen thousand feet. from the bow of the Titanic the Coast. Guard said oh they're dead. the debris is consistent with the. catastrophic loss of the pressure. chamber Coast Guard rear Admiral John.
mauger said he said it's not yet clear. when the implosion took place. the family of those on board were. immediately notified about the discovery. we're now believing that our CEO stocked. in Rush. and his son Suleiman dawood Hamish. Harding and Paul Henry Nar Gallant have. sadly been lost the Titan sub-operator. Ocean Gate said in a statement these men. were true explorers who shared a. distinct Spirit of adventure and a deep.
passion for exploring and protecting the. world's oceans our hearts are with those. five souls and every member of their. families during this tragic time we've. grieved the loss of life and the joy. they brought to everyone they knew. [ __ ]. it says they're unclear now if the. victims can be recovered I don't think. people even understand the scope of what. you're searching for like the the amount. of area you're talking about. yeah and then I wonder if you also put. more people in danger if you go look.
yeah you do you do I mean. this is. if that whistleblower was correct and it. imploded because it wasn't really set up. to tolerate The Depths that they were. putting it under I mean that is insane. that's insane and it's so scary so scary. that people would do that so scary that. like there was they fired the guy who. was The Whistleblower and apparently. there was a bunch of other people that. complained as well.
interesting yeah no it was a serious. thing what was that pull up that article. again that we looked at. it was uh it's not like everyone was. like we all agree this is safe there was. quite a few people that were like this. is not safe this is not the way to do it. and they had said that they were. um cleared by one certain body of uh you. know some some group that was examining. them but they hadn't been cleared by. them. I don't know somebody proposed that to. you wouldn't you be like absolutely not. [ __ ] that.
[ __ ] that whistleblower raised safety. concerns about Ocean Gate submersible in. 2018 then he was fired original carbon. fiber Hull wasn't rated for Titanic daps. claimed the operations director. it is interesting to go look for those. Titanic and then you also have the same. fate yeah as the people on the title the. worst fate yeah yeah because you you. actually knew what you were doing you're. actually going to the bottom in a. submarine they were on something they. thought was going to float they were. going to like drink tea and like look.
out of the icebergs and [ __ ]. well also the rich a lot of the rich. people I think made it off yeah Titanic. yeah. apparently the company had plans to make. 3D scans of it which that's the first. time I've heard of that I don't know if. that's what they were doing there but. that's what the company's goal was at. some point make 3D scans of the Titanic. yeah oh wow. so they could recreate it somewhere yeah. the exact in VR or computer oh wow.
[ __ ] what is honestly the purpose of. doing that. people like to do things. they'll have to do. difficult [ __ ]. I know but it's like do something else I. know I know but you can't tell people. that like that's true like you know you. can't tell people hey stop climbing. Everest stop that's true but at least. you're doing that by yourself you kind. of know the risk I don't know I mean. this also seems crazy if somebody's like. would you want to do this I'd say no.
yeah of course. but you know what makes people skydive. what makes people right Thrill Seekers. yeah. yeah I don't know I guess I would if I. was into doing those things I know right. away I'm gonna probably like I know. exactly what could happen but but. something like that where someone's like. hey this is totally safe we're all going. to be together I don't know I just you. [ __ ] that. yeah yeah it's not totally safe there's. no way it's totally safe.
hey uh Jamie have you seen that bowl. that they call god mode. somebody sent me this video of uh. there's this bowl that they paid 25. million dollars for because it's so. insane when they try to ride it when you. see what this bull does to the guy who's. right it's. I didn't know a bull could do that I. didn't know a bull could move that way. look at this bull. 's name is God mode watch how high the. bull gets in the air it's insane but. like you have to know if you do this you.
might die a hundred percent but look at. this guy trying to hang on to this bull. look at the height this Bull's reaching. in that since Deadpool's flying. that's crazy look at that bullfly. I met some Michael Jordan of bulls yeah. look at the Heidi's kidding nothing's. six feet in the air seven feet that's. cute it's adorable. uh it looks like he's going back he's. just jumping not this but the there's a. I don't know 20 girls standing in a a.
bull ring and they just let a bull go. yes and they're all like a couple of. them got jacked yeah of course what is. wrong with these I don't even take the. subway I mean why would I ever do. anything like this. this bull is still jumping and no one's. on him anymore how are you gonna what. are you gonna do you ain't doing [ __ ]. you ain't doing [ __ ] but just the fact. that the bull keeps jumping like that. even after no one's on him like get the. [ __ ] off me that's my god mode yeah. but people want to ride that thing. there's someone out there going [ __ ] it.
I'm gonna ride god mode. yeah I guess yeah. not you huh no why would I do that this. is a song by Zac Bryan it's a great song. called open the gates and it's about a. guy who died riding a bulls and his son. goes and rides the same bowl and dies. I mean it's like what it's like what do. you think is gonna happen it's a great. song the song sounds great but I mean. come on yeah what is gonna happen. this sounds like some Tick-Tock stuff we.
saw it go crazy but I'm I can't find. anything else online that says that a. bowl is sold for 25 million named god. well that could be hardcore [ __ ] but. whatever that bull can do it's like. Jesus Christ those guys that's a rough. life that's a rough life bull riding. that is for me below. getting sex trafficked. I'm like send me in a container. somewhere I don't want to [ __ ] I. don't trust this bull. so what's so weird what people choose to.
do with their life. yeah I mean I guess too if you're a real. thrill seeker and you keep doing bigger. and bigger things it must be the same. way like you get endorphins from it yeah. 100 percent. it's also like the culture of it I guess. like who's the biggest risk taker. yeah I guess right kind of like Bobby's. gonna do it he's [ __ ] crazy that's. right boys. but that guy might even be scared and. he's like I gotta [ __ ] do this now. because everyone is like come on it's. fake well not fake because obviously we.
saw the video but the most expensive. Bulls sold. 1.5 million in 2020. that one doesn't. look like but is that a breeding bowl or. is that a riding bull yeah even still I. would say a riding bull would be less. valuable than a breeding Bowl wouldn't. it. because you're just riding it for a. couple weeks and then you have to sell. so many tickets to get the money back. well I would imagine that riding bulls. don't get hurt very often. if they only work six seconds at a time. right but I bet they can do that anytime. they want so wait like if you just give.
them a couple days off I bet the riding. bulls get right back after it I think. I'm good yeah I was worried about that. little puny person riding its back why. is it worth 25 million because it's so. Preposterous that everybody's going to. want to see God mode and everyone's. going to see God Mode's children. that's what they do with those things I. know but that's what they do with those. things those those riding bulls when. they're really dangerous they uh they. breed them they breed them just like. they do with dogs they breed the most. dangerous ones with the most dangerous. ones it makes them the most wildest.
bucking insane psycho Bowl because. that's what everybody wants to see you. ride. I just don't think they're worth that. much I believe you yeah I'm sure it's. something that's a dumb question how do. you determine which bowls are gonna be. like riding bulls like them which ones. are just gonna be like beefal it's a. good question I wonder if it's a. specific type of Bowl does he just act. crazy at Birth and they're like that's. cool right how do you know we uh made. people ride Bulls on Fear Factor and it. was one of two times in the history of. the show where I was trying to tell the. producers don't do it yeah it sounds.
like a bad idea I was like don't do it. don't do it and they're like they said. it's a stunt Bowl that's the the [ __ ]. stunt guys get saved he's a stunt bull I. go that bull does not know he's a stunt. bull no that's a [ __ ] bull they're. like hey tone it down for that and the. bulls start trying to get out of the. cage before the people got on it and I. was like no way don't do it because you. could get stomped you 100 you get kicked. in the face and it'll change your life. don't do that wouldn't that also be a. huge lawsuit for a Fear Factor 100 and.
they just don't care they roll the dice. they rolled the dice I guess yeah that's. what they did. the other time I told him not to do it. the people had to drink come. but then Lisa you're not gonna die from. I mean it's gross you're gonna die you. can't die from too much [ __ ] can you I. don't know. I mean you could definitely die for both. steps on you though yes yeah you. wouldn't die did they do that episode of. drinking come they did how much come a. lot like beer steins more. Like That Donkey Kong.
so someone's just jerking these down you. know why Donkey Kong why because donkeys. uh don't breed because donkey comes not. not it's not good for anything because. donkeys are a hybrid of a a. mule and a horse. so this is people that drink donkey. pests I'm a threat right now that's. great do these people have to keep it. down yeah no they throw it up eventually. after they swallowed it then they were. allowed to throw up so somebody for this. show had a jerk off donkeys they.
actually stick a cattle prod up their. [ __ ] and they shoot like a fire hose. at least someone doesn't have to jerk. them off. that'd be shitty job yeah they do. something with sticking up his [ __ ]. and just yikes. yeah. I gotta be honest though was it mixed. with water it seemed very liquid it was. thick let's see it's the equity I. thought it'd be more like a milkshake. consistency yeah then these guys are. chucking here's so someone got a hold of.
the footage like TMZ or something like. that and then uh NBC pulled the episode. from America but they didn't pull it. overseas so like I think it aired in. Holland or somewhere like that so find. out where it aired a Fear Factor YouTube. channel that's where it is oh yeah you. can definitely get it on YouTube yeah. so that was a kill the show. then they're like that's a wrap so they. think that was the end of the show yeah. yeah they canceled that episode uh they. never aired that episode then they. cancel the show.
so crazy over Donkey Kong isn't that. nuts it was awesome it was perfect it. was perfect. way to end yeah and nobody saw it except. in Holland a lot of people saw it on. YouTube though. so more people ever saw it than they. would have seen it if it was on TV for. sure. I don't know is it worse for to be the. person that like drank all that comment. that it didn't air. no it's probably better. but it did air.
but didn't you say it aired only in. Holland yeah but it is on YouTube oh. yeah I'm trying to find out drinking. come on YouTube is you're gonna get some. hits you're gonna get some views you're. going on a job interview and they're. like did you drink that donkey come were. you one of the twins because it was. Twins and you're like no that's my. sister my sister did it so one had a. drink piss the other one had a drink. come what would you drink piss. Ed [ __ ] is chunky yeah it's a lot it's a. lot of protein I would imagine it would. affect your.
everything in there. piss is just dirty water if you're. drinking water you're drinking dinosaur. piss I love it do you know that like all. water on Earth at one point in time if. you just think statistically the. hundreds of millions of years of. dinosaurs were around. all that water at some point in time was. filtered out of a dinosaur's dick. that sounds insane and not true I think. it's true I don't think that's true. let's see. okay. all water. how did you Google that is your work.
computer just the I have the worst stuff. on it. yeah well how would you phrase that. every glass of water you drink. originally was in dinosaur urine. or originally was dinosaur urine I want. it to be urine I wanted to be real. specific. all the water you drank came from. dinosaur urine just be ridiculous uh.
um well the way I asked it her hair. someone did ask the question you're. asking right are you you are yeah you. are drinking dinosaur pee every day. here's why oh. yeah there you go yeah you are drinking. dinosaur pee every day here's why from. Tech times. the average American drinks four cups of. water every day according to US. Department of Agriculture this is far. short of the recommended eight glasses. blah blah blah whether it's tap filtered. bottled sparkling or sourced from the. Himalayan glaciers and sparkled with.
Gold Dust you are actually drinking the. liquid waste of an ancient Beast says a. science-centric YouTube channel curious. minds a video explaining this Theory. says that every small percentage of all. the water in the world is available for. drinking purposes but it's still a huge. amount of water to provide for the needs. of every human being that's ever walked. in the surface of the Earth for the last. two hundred thousand years every year. around 121 000 cubic miles of water. about the equivalent of 42 Lake. superiors falls down on Earth constantly. flows through the rivers lakes grounds. reservoirs and everywhere else it passes. through including inside the guts of.
people and the animals that drink it so. what do dinosaurs have to do with all. this unlike humans who have been on. Earth for a tiny fraction of the 186. million years that dinosaurs ruled the. planet. the the beasts were here far longer than. we have ever been in that long span of. time it's very likely the dinosaurs have. drunk all the water available back then. and then all the water available now is. simply water that has passed through a. dinosaur's kidneys making its way. through the never-ending water cycle.
that's crazy that dinosaurs were around. for 186 million years yeah if you told. me they were around for 100 years I. would have believed it I know nothing. about dinosaurs yeah they're around. forever if it wasn't for a rock they'd. still be around that's crazy yeah and. then we get to drink their pissed that's. what's interesting about life on other. planets like if something like the. dinosaurs does exist it takes something. like the Yucatan impact to to kill them. and then the little scrambly little.
rodents and [ __ ] eventually evolved to. become humans but if that doesn't happen. forever and ever and ever it's just. dinosaurs [ __ ] things up and no one. ever builds a house no one ever gets a. Tesla just pissing yeah every time you. go outside Raptors tear you apart. there's you live in like tiny caves and. they try to find you in there and they. drag your kids out. yeah they send a little Raptor in there. and they grab your kid by the feet you. you crawl into little tunnels and holes. as they nip at you and try to claw with. the rocks to get to you you never.
develop tools yeah you never develop. anything you barely stay alive you. probably go extinct somehow that. submarine thing sounds less worse than. that. yeah probably torn apart by a raptor if. you lived in that era I think everything. ate everything probably and the only way. you didn't get eaten if you were like a. Stegosaurus where you're just covered in. armor. to keep things from eating you I mean. imagine like what kind of [ __ ] hard. life you have to be living in to develop. the kind of skin the stegosaurus has.
just armor everywhere you are like a. Triceratops yeah everywhere your armor. just to keep you from getting consumed. let me see yeah. so yeah that's the bright side of the. impact I'm drinking dinosaur pets yeah. we're drinking dinosaur piss and that's. the the bright side of Apocalypse caused. by an asteroid in fact. not that bad it's pretty good it's way. better than dinosaurs still being being. around and it's way better than Donkey.
Kong yes not that I know but I assume. this is better my coffee is dinosaur. pissed yeah. mixed with other crap no just coffee you. don't put anything in it like no milk or. anything no it's just black black coffee. is tough I like to put something in it. so it's not as like sour I. um started getting into it when I became. friends with my friend Evan Hafer who uh. runs Black Rifle coffee it's like his. company oh okay and he well there was a. guy I had on a podcast a long time ago.
there was actually a coffee expert what. was that gentleman's name again. Giuliano Giuliano right yeah Peter. Giuliano very interesting guy but he's. like a legitimate coffee expert and I. always wanted to I was I was like I like. talking to people that just know a lot. about one thing sure like it's weird. like how much this guy knows about. coffee and he brought a bunch of. different coffees to sample and there's. this Ethiopian coffees that tasted. almost like like they were lemony and. you're drinking them all black. everything black like he's like real.
coffee drinkers drink coffee pot and so. then my friend Evan. who runs Black Rifle coffee he's a real. coffee nut like he he literally goes to. these places where they grow it and. samples the beans and like they have. different kinds of roasts and blends and. amazing stuff and he drinks everything. black and I just started drinking it. black it's a I think it's an acquired. taste. I've done it before. like drink drink it black with nothing. in it like if I'm in a hotel and they. don't have anything but I don't know I. if the coffee is good quality then you.
can yeah for me anyway but if it's like. crappy yeah if they [ __ ] it up if they. don't know what they're doing they [ __ ]. it up but even if I go to a diner I just. drink black coffee. yeah I like it I don't know maybe I'll. get there one day it's just the thing. where like I know it doesn't taste good. but it tastes good to me like I like. that sort of bitter warm liquid taste I. like it I like tea with nothing in it I. do too yeah but coffee is real better. but tea with Honey's better isn't it. yeah but I don't I don't mind that plain.
as opposed to coffee is like not great. yeah well. um I try to avoid sugar as much as. possible and I feel like when I put even. if I put like sweet and low or Stevia in. something it makes me want more sweet. things oh yeah I get that because I like. sweet stuff you know of course. avoid it whenever I can definitely. that's why I try and cut the sugar out. because I'm like addicted to it. everybody is. I think it's like some people aren't. though it's like people that could have. one or two drinks like I think certain.
people. like process everything differently I. don't know yeah for sure but sugars and. so many things you don't realize how. much it is and live off of it yes yeah. but like some people could have one. cupcake. you know what I mean and then some. people are like I need to chase that. sugar. yeah have you. you said that do you have how many. people in your you have many people in. your family that have addictive. personalities or addiction issues. addiction issues yeah for sure drugs and. drugs gambling drinking yeah food just.
like everything. yeah also I think when your life isn't. that great you look for an escape so. absolutely you know. are you worried that as your life gets. greater and greater that you will have. less things to be upset about. no I think I have quite a few things I. think I'll never run out of stuff I. asked my therapist if he thought I'd. ever be cured and he laughed at me he. goes no whoa he's like absolutely not. maybe he just wants to keep you there. he's not making that much off me I think.
he would he's like I think he'd rather. me be. like in a good place over getting the. little bit of money I give him. um but he's funny. he's really a funny person. like because I did think I had a good. childhood and then like I started going. to him and he's like you had a terrible. childhood like I literally said to him I. was like I thought I had a good. childhood because nobody molested me as. a kid and he was like no he's like. actually if somebody did they would have. been showing you attention he's like it. would have been better like he was. joking though right but I was like I see.
what he's saying like yeah me and my. sister just ignored yeah but I don't. know I think I'll always have stuff to. be upset about. stand-up comedy is such an interesting. thing because everybody came from like a. place of lacking. but everybody's thing like every. everything that got him to that is. different. but the result is the same with thought. it's all just like how do I figure out. how to get these [ __ ] up ideas into. people's heads and elicit a response. sure.
but a lot of comics you know have a lot. of mental illness yeah. um [ __ ] up childhoods sure you know. you're pulling like I feel like my. family was always very funny because we. were always struggling like financially. and just like with different stuff. you just kind of always are funny and. joking around. that's what I think. wouldn't you rather prefer [ __ ] up. people to joke around a lot to like. stuffy people in Connecticut. I mean it would have been nice if like. we had money like I think I would have. preferred having like some some.
Financial stability yeah in terms of. just having like laughs. yeah I mean maybe not now because I do. stand up but like yeah when you're. younger I mean I also didn't realize how. rich people were too until I went to. college and seemed like people have lots. of money. like I didn't really realize I was a kid. yeah. it's probably good. I think it really [ __ ] people up when. they're like they're poor and they're. around rich people because it's like.
right there in the Bronx there's like. varying degrees like when I was growing. up there's like varying degrees of poor. you know like like some of my friends. parents did have a house but like you're. still in the Bronx it's not like you. know Connecticut or right. but yeah I didn't really slightly doing. better poor yeah you're doing a little. bit better. but as a comic like God damn it like you. know comedy's like the best thing to do. it's so much fun. and that's the superpower [ __ ] up. childhood is the superpower sure I see.
that but like we also did like. things that were like you know on. vacation we would go visit my aunt who. was dying every year like that was a. that was like a vacation from the. restaurant awful life oh God which is a. crazy thing to do as a vacation yeah. so that sucks. yeah but as a kid I didn't realize it. sucked I realized it sucks now you. didn't realize until you started doing. therapy. no I realized that once I got older and. realized like we should not be you know.
in a house where someone's dying in the. living room you know like well there's. like her and then another aunt but. yeah this is not great we were going to. Crescent Pennsylvania. that's like the worst so is doing stand. up is that the most Joy you've ever. experienced. sometimes sometimes not when it doesn't. go well. I don't know I think that if I had a lot. of money I might just work with animals. like I really love animals yeah you'd. quit doing stuff I don't think I'd quit. doing standard I think I'd always do it.
but I do love like helping animals and. like even people too you know like I. make a lot of dark jokes but like I. think everyone just thinks I'm an awful. person I'm like well these are just. jokes though. um. but yeah I I would love to work with it. I was like re-home animals like take you. know ones in that you can when you. partner up with Whitney. do you know Whitney. not really I mean like we follow each. other on Instagram but she's awesome he. would love her yes she had you know that. one dog that looked like an alien what. was the dog's name dragon or something.
Violet I think it's Violet but yeah so. like I would love to do that I wish that. stand up I'd get to a place where I. could uh you afforded a situation like. that to like help animals and yeah she's. always fostering dogs she has a horse. yeah yeah I would like it if she. fostered me. she'll take in she took people in during. the pandemic she turned her house into. like a flop house yeah I saw that yeah. she's awesome she had outdoor shows. at her house they were doing them they.
were doing them in New York too really. yeah in people's yards and stuff. uh like Central Park they did some shows. I did shows on roofs and like it was. just people getting real creative when. did you get back into an indoor Club. again what was the first time how many. months out. I was doing it about six months after. like outside and then I think I waited. to get vaccinated to do it inside like. the first vaccine maybe did you have to. get vaccine you had to to be in those. clubs too right. yeah and I think I I think you had to.
get I had to get vaccinated to. definitely go to Europe when I went on. that tour with Louis so we definitely. need I think three at that point yeah. you got to have a booster to go over. there too yeah you'd have three and I. think the clubs you might have only. needed too but I'm not sure. there were some Comics that refused to. get vaccinated too yeah there's a couple. of them but I was like I mean when I. took the vaccine I was like I'm not 100. confident in this but I was like but. like whatever I do want to work yeah I. was like what am I gonna do well a lot.
of people did that they made that choice. because they wanted to work and it was. yeah very clear that it was going to. stop you from working especially in some. jobs you know a lot of people were. forced into it. internally worked out good yeah yeah. what did you did you get vaccinated no I. got. which one did I get not the Johnson and. Johnson that seemed like the worst one. where's like one vaccine you're like why. is this one mess yeah and it's like 65. protection but it's all of it was. Shenanigans if you really study the.
actual paperwork on what the studies. actually showed versus what they were. saying it showed it didn't stop. transmission it didn't one one person in. the [ __ ] vaccine group died of covet. guess my thing is like so does it work. like because we have antibodies now like. how does that it works it works. initially it works initially and it it. like for a lot of vulnerable people it. probably was a good idea to get. vaccinated old people fat people people. that were uh that had various diseases.
yeah uh the problem is it didn't last. for very long it didn't last for nearly. as long as it wanted and then you'd get. your second shot and that didn't last. and now unfortunately what they're. finding is through this latest study. with the Cleveland Clinic they showed. that with their health care workers the. more vaccines they got the more they got. covered. interesting yeah well there's a lot of. weird things that happen with your. immune system I got very sick from the. vaccines how bad.
like they're I think I don't remember. which one [ __ ] me up the worst but. like there was a time where I was like. home for two three days where I was like. oh I'm really sick I had fever I was. really sick and then I got covered and I. was really sick from it. but I was I feel like I wouldn't get any. more I wouldn't get any more boosters I. know people are like I'm on five I'm. like trade that's good for you. you know some people it's fine some. people I mean it's like any other. medication some people they take that. medication they don't have any problems. with it and then other people take it. and they get wrecked by it and that's.
the problem with making something. mandatory where some people are going to. get wrecked by it like really bad. vaccine injuries those are real we all. know about them now we've all seen. people dropped out of heart attacks that. shouldn't be. and then there's people that it might. have saved their lives it's like that. that's an uncomfortable like sort of. conversation that people that are. against it have to have and people that. are pro would have to have like you have. to look at the actual data of what. really did happen and it's particularly.
for like non-vulnerable people like. children it was not a good idea yeah I. guess I just didn't understand like say. you didn't want to get vaccinated and. somebody is vaccinated then why does. that matter like if this person because. it didn't well I mean also there's a. huge money to be made off the vaccine. but there was also people wanted you to. do what they did I did the right thing. you should do the right thing you're. selfish you're not doing it what else. I've heard that too it was like the one. time in our lives we weren't allowed to. be skeptical about pharmaceutical. companies right we're schedulable over. everything else that they produce we.
should be sort of a long history of. criminal fines yes they've been fined. [ __ ] insane amounts of money for. lying about drugs that wind up Crossing. people their lives was that was it doped. up Dope Sick Dope Sick yeah yeah I. didn't say it but I know the whole story. about the Sackler family yeah yeah I. mean you look at something like that and. you're like yeah we should be. questioning they just paid their way out. of it. they paid their way out they paid their. way out of it like they gave like six. billion dollars no no they can't be. prosecuted.
and they pressed off so much money oh. God that's crazy billions and billions. we can lose six billion dollars and. still be a billionaire yeah easy well. they did that with um there was another. um medication. um that they did viox that wind up. giving. people gave a friend of mine a stroke. but it gave like it killed sixty. thousand fifty thousand people what is. that for it was uh an anti-inflammatory. medication it didn't even work well and. they knew it in their their internal. emails they said there's going to be.
problems but we think we'll do very well. with this. so they knew that it was going to cause. cardiovascular issues with people they. knew it was going to cause blood issues. with people and strokes and [ __ ] and. they still still released it and they. got fined but they got fined less than. they made. yeah so I think they made it's crazy 12. billion and they just got to find like. five or something right you're like I. still have the surplus of billions. something like that don't quote me on. that those numbers but it's something to. the point where like I could see you.
made money on this you still made money. this is like yeah and it didn't work it. wasn't a good it was like there was. other there was other available things. that worked better. it's just a spooky thing that they can. do that it's spooky and that people just. go along with it. well Johnson and Johnson have that. lawsuit against their powder yeah like. because a lot it has I guess talc and. maybe some other stuff and women I guess. are putting it like you know in their. private areas getting cancer so they. have a big lawsuit for that yeah what is. in it that's giving people cancer I.
don't know is it just talc because I. know talc is not great for you it's like. a mineral right what is that I guess I. don't know but I just know like I used. to use Johnson Johnson powder all the. time and I was like oh that's like. something you would never even think of. yeah what is um what what caused people. your cancer from that. the Johnson Johnson vaccine was the one. I was going to take some Bridge of God I. think the UFC had allocated like a 150. vaccines for their employees and we were.
doing shows during the pandemic they had. this total bubble situation where you. got tested okay what does it say when uh. when the towncome powder is linked to. cancer it's important to distinguish. between tiles that contains Asbestos and. the talk that's asbestos free top that. has asbestos is generally accepted as. being able to cause cancer if it's. inhaled what about um what so just go to. that go to the lawsuit Johnson and. Johnson cancer lawsuit baby powder. because it was something with women.
right yeah. okay what does it saying. um. so there's some sort of J J lawsuit. settlement okay Johnson Johnson said on. Tuesday that it had agreed to pay 8.9. billion dollars to tens of thousands of. people who claim the company's talcum. powder produces products cause cancer a. proposal that lawyers for the plaintiffs.
called a significant victory in a legal. fight that has lasted more than a decade. wow so are they still using the same. talc though that's a good question maybe. they're just telling people don't put it. on your hoo-ha but didn't say just. breathing it in is bad The Proposal yeah. the one with asbestos so I'm trying to. figure out why why does this have. asbestos the proposed settlement would. be paid out over 25 years through a. subsidiary which filed bankruptcy to. enable the 8.9 billion dollar trust. Johnson Johnson said in court filings if.
a bankruptcy court approves it the. agreement will resolve all current and. future claims involving Johnson Johnson. products that contain talc such as baby. powder the company said so how is top. it's ovarian cancer yeah okay a. significant victory for the tens of. thousands of women suffering from. gynecological cancers caused by the J. J's talc based products so but what is. in it that's causing cancer and. mesothelioma I've seen that ovarian. cancer and mesothelioma you saw it on. what TV commercials my whole life yeah.
this number now. I wonder if it goes right to Johnson. Johnson. the one thing I was going to ask I was. reading about the appeal for the Sackler. thing five to six million they have to. give up billion billion I'm sorry 750. million is paid out to the individuals. oh where's the other five billion oh god. what the [ __ ] is that well it's a fine. it goes to government okay that's good. listen we have to deal with our homeless. crisis. trans kids don't have homes.
is that that's an issue right now oh I. guess yeah maybe. I'm sure they they didn't say well open. up a sanctuary and taking all the dogs. and all the trains there's only two. billion of that 8.9 goes to the. plaintiffs. um so what is it that causes cancer. though like what's it in the talc that's. causing cancer I guess this is I guess. the asbestos is in it how was it how is. anybody selling anything with asbestos. well they probably took it out of paint. and were like let's get rid of it this. way oh imagine if that's really good no.
who knows I mean I think the. government's pretty corrupt well there. there's definitely some corrupt people. in the government without a doubt and. there's definitely a bunch of people. that run these corporations and try to. figure out how to make money with stuff. they have laying around sure it's a New. York Times article I don't see a date. but this says that they knew about it. since 429 years it says Johnson. Johnson's feared baby powders possible. asbestos link for years so there is. asbestos in it. what this is a 1971 they're recommended.
to upgrade the quality control oh my God. look at this an executive of Johnson. Johnson said the main ingredient is. best-selling baby powder could. potentially be contaminated by asbestos. the dangerous mineral that causes cancer. he recommended to senior staff in 1971. the company upgrade its quality control. of talc two years later another. executive raised red flag saying the. company should no longer assume that. it's talc mines were as best is free the. powdery said sometimes contains. materials that might be classified as. asbestos fiber the carcinogen which.
often appears underground near talc has. been a concern inside the company for. decades in hundreds of pages of memos. Executives worried about a potential. government ban of talc the safety of the. product and a public backlash over. Johnson's baby powder a brand built on a. reputation for trustworthiness and. health and it had as. that's what it is they took it out of. the paint. I don't think so I think they're saying. it's in the same Minds as the towel but. they were like let's just keep clean it. up and we'll just get it from the same. lines they're cutting it just like the.
Mexican cartels cut the coke with the. fentanyl yeah and cutting it without. like if you have like a bunch of. asbestos and you've got a little talc is. worth 10 bucks a pound let's cut it in. there yeah I would be surprised it's not. in there yeah isn't a fentanyl expensive. why are they mixing stuff with fentanyl. it's very cheap and it's also. um really potent so you need a very very. small amount of fentanyl will [ __ ] you. up. but I'm sure it's not consistent they're. not you know they're not really good at.
like quality control yeah and also I. think sometimes they leak fentanyl lace. cocaine specifically designed to kill. people to Target rival gangs they do it. like if one gang is selling Coke and. they'll sabotage their supply so that. they kill their there's a lot of people. stop buying it from them yeah. yeah or they'd use it to Target certain. people. interesting we learned a lot today. Adrian did learn a lot I did too I did. too I learned about dinosaur pests yeah.
we're all drinking it asbestos. that episode of Fear Factor mm-hmm with. come. we learned a lot about your origins of. Comedy My Origins learn about your mom. my mom yes you love dogs love dogs I. should have brought Marshall yes next. time next time you do it we do it again. we'll do it again okay. um gonna be the club tonight I'm gonna. be at the club tonight thank you for. having me it was fun it was hilarious. well I mean thank you for letting me.
film my special there my pleasure I'm. excited when Louie texted me I was so. pumped that's yeah because we were. taught he was like where do you think. you want to do it and he was like I was. like uh I don't know I'm not sure and. then he was like what about like Austin. I was like well I love Austin he's like. well what about Joe's Club I was like. yeah yeah it's a setup to film already. too yeah the audiences are great yeah. those shows were so fun and I because. they're like which room do you want to. do I was like I don't know I was like I. gotta see which one I like but I like. them both so yeah they're both different. but really fun it's the the whole setup. is Louis actually helped me quite a bit.
um he gave me some really good advice. when we were in the middle of. construction he told me to make the. stage in the small room smaller it was. larger they just designed it makes sense. yeah yeah it was perfect what He. designed was perfect he said just cut. off four feet on each side and I was. like yeah why do it we don't need it. that big and so it was real really fun. because you could kind of walk around in. this you know once we had gutted it you. know you're going why don't we do this. why don't we do that yeah and so Louis. came in and I just said what you know.
what do you think and he was like you. know like make this lower he's like a. good director he knows how to do all. that stuff I listen to everything he. said yeah every I took every single. piece of advice that he said every. recommendation I did do you like one. room over the other I love them both. they're different the little room is. really intimate the little room was like. you're partying you're having a good. time with people they're right there. they're on top of you it's really fun. it's it's also very honest like if you. feel performative or clunky it like it.
feels gross in that room in the little. one yeah in the little room I feel like. the little room is Freer oh yeah it is. but I mean if you do come off clunky. it's more obvious I think it's very. intimate it feels fake yeah you know. it's just a different room the other. room is the other room is pretty. intimate too the way I describe it like. they're both like hybrids of The Comedy. Store original room and the belly room. yeah it's like I've never performed. there I've only visited yeah I've only. gone there to like visit I've never. performed there next time I go I'll.
bring you all right let's party let's. party let's go what I do like about the. big room is that it is intimate because. everyone does seem pretty close to you. even though it's like a pretty big room. yeah it's we it's well designed we mean. we put a lot of thought into it we raise. the floor. we had the stage set at the perfect. height where it's like right right at. table height no not a bad seat in the. room we'd like meticulously went over it. for a long time yeah. I think too what I think Ari was saying. last night is like when you go to some. clubs sometimes like the owner shows up. and it's just like it changes the vibe.
yeah it's like that's not here and I'm. like yeah you're right it's not like you. come around people like oh put that away. or let's stop talking about whatever. we're talking about yeah that happens in. other clubs for sure right yeah. well I don't know there's only a few. other clubs that are owned by comics. yeah I guess I'm just thinking about. clubs in maybe Manhattan you know right. but that's the thing it's like. you're dealing with there's like the. owners the owners tell the managers what. they do the managers tell the comedians. what to do right so they're still bosses. yeah and even though you are the boss.
you're the owner it's not like that Vibe. no the vibe is it's for all of us it's. our price yeah it's very welcoming like. I don't know most of the comics like I'm. getting to know them but I felt very. welcome there if you're funny it's very. welcome if you're not funny it's very. unwelcoming you're not funny they're. [ __ ] brutal yeah it was just there's. a lot of competition for stage time. there's a lot of comics there's a lot of. young people yeah I could see that you. know all the staff like or aspiring. comedians like this door staff and they. all auditioned with their actual comedy.
to get the jobs to be the door like to. work at the door that's actually pretty. good yeah and they get stage time so. they get to go up and they they go up to. Showcase nights there's Open Mic Nights. two nights a week that's great whereas I. was interning for free yes you know that. here still not getting us then even more. importantly the creek in the cave is. right next door it's right up the street. and then you've got Sunset room which is. right next door Sunset Brian redband's. room is Three Doors Down oh wow and the. other day we did a show like last.
Thursday we did a show at my club and. then guys were going back and forth and. red band show was sold out too and then. there's the Falcon which is also just a. half a block down and you know they do. comedy there too and then you also have. Cap City which is in the domain and you. have a bunch of little places like the. Velveeta room yeah there's a bunch of. spots that are all around town and all. kinds of mics do they do shows that. Esther's Follies also right yes yeah. they just show them there's a lot of. good comedy here yeah and the fans are. great well they just love the fact that. it's here yeah it's like.
you know out of the pandemic this thing. sprung yeah it really is like a weird. thing that happened where we're all like. [ __ ] this we gotta get the [ __ ] out of. La yeah and I was particularly motivated. because my children were at the time 10. and 12. I was like I don't think I want. them growing up in La like I already. dodged that bullet a lot of my oldest. daughter it's just creepy yeah it's like. there's so much chaos and freaks and. just well you're gonna get out of here. you know and then during the pandemic we. had this opportunity to move to Austin. and I was like I want to do this and it.
was a crazy time to do it because I was. in the middle of this big Spotify deal. and you know the whole world was shut. down and I have everything running. smoothly and I'm like [ __ ] it let's. uproot we're gonna start from scratch. and we came here and I've never been. happier that's great and then when all. the other Comics started coming here too. and I was like all right I think this is. gonna work there's a lot of comics here. yeah it's pretty awesome. so crazy that everyone's coming here. yeah it's like becoming a real hub for. comedy that's so fun it is fun well that. is one of the cool things you can do.
