you know the sphere in Vegas that giant. Globe the whole ceiling is all LCD or L. what kind of screen is. it eded whatever the best [ __ ] is it's. like a billion dollar building yeah but. the screens on the ceiling so fish. utilizes these for all these like crazy. trippy psychedelic images and so while. the show was going on people are just. like it's like the greatest [ __ ]. thing I've ever seen in my life look at.
this that's the ceiling awesome that's. the ceiling oh that's great doing and. then going to that show what a party I. mean they they're doing a residency so I. guess they're doing uh six uh sphere. shows uh check out the some of the other. ones I sent you Jamie cuz I I sent you. quite a few they're all different one of. them is a dog a dog's like licking like. licking the screen I need to see this I. did not know how big fish was I didn't. know it was big at all but they have.
such a massive cult following they do. they sell out everywhere yeah it's like. the dead it's it's basically the same. it's like a new generation of the. Grateful Dead and I'm I growing up I was. aware of the Grateful Dead Fish I was. doing a con a show in Atlantic City and. then the guy that was booking I was like. I know man it's tough fish is here this. weekend the whole City's and I was like. what fish P the one with the fish pH. fish and he was like yeah they're huge. and then people follow them I uh had a. buddy of mine his girlfriend was really. into fish just didn't get it yeah I've.
never I was what what are you talking. about like what's the big deal like look. at this one holy [ __ ] isn't this insane. that's awesome it's. [Music]. insane no even hearing this in the. headphones that feels awesome looking on. this screen yeah and apparently there's. not a bad seat in the house and one of. the guys from fish was doing an. interview about it and he was saying. essentially like every seat is. incredible because every you you see the.
sky and you see this you see fireworks. and it's just [ __ ] amazing this is. awesome so they're doing a UFC there in. September and I have no look at the dog. oh that's so sick dude that's so sick. isn't that amazing yeah um what's going. to be on the screen u300 just max Hollow. knocking you out with two seconds left. in the fight one second yeah one second. yeah it's it's going to be all kinds of. [ __ ] I mean they're they're essentially.
planning for that different than they've. ever planned for any other event Dana. told me they've already spent $9 million. preparing for September's event that's. so sick so tickets are going to be nuts. for that is it's going to be nuts yeah. it's going to be a Nutty event and I. don't think they're going to do more. than one of them I think they're only. going to do one because the idea is like. it's so expensive to do and there's so. much involved and preparing for it but. it's an investment so you're going to. get it back I has anybody written a book. on Dana building the UFC you would know. I would not I'm very much casual but.
I remember being like 13 seeing the UFC. commercials and it didn't it seemed like. this Fringe thing and now it's this. massive mainstream thing and not I don't. want to give all the credit to one. person but it seems like he's the one a. lot of it a lot of it goes to him if it. wasn't for him it would just wouldn't be. the same thing you have to have a maniac. running that organization he's a maniac. he's a maniac but a genius Maniac yeah. oh yeah he's literally born for that job. yeah it's perfect he's the perfect guy. for that job my cameraman was telling me. this morning uh Kevin shouts to Kevin he.
films and edits all my stuff but he's a. big UFC fan he said Dana put out like a. 3-minute video after UFC 300 of a bunch. of people criticizing the fight card on. UFC 300 and I was like dude that's the. thing that you need that Jord Michael. Jordan has that thing Dana White has. that thing Dave pornoy has that thing. where it's like I remember everybody. that ever insulted me [ __ ] you no matter. how famous I get [ __ ] you yeah yeah I. don't have that I don't either but I. keep moving I don't like I don't like. that kind of stress in my life I don't. like dwelling on things I don't like. creating additional conflict maybe I did.
when I was younger but that [ __ ] doesn't. seem appealing to me at all how do you. let go if you had it when you were. younger how did you let go of it I just. realized it wasn't helping me yeah the. same way I Let Go being jealous of. people I would be jealous of other. comedians like if they were killing it. I'd be I was like go Hopey bombs and and. then I I this is when I was 21 I felt. this oh that's very young for and I saw. it I was like God what how what a weak. thought yeah I was embarrassed yeah I. remember being 27 and just being so. angry and I haven't let go of all of it. by any but being like I don't like me.
being like this and then I realize all. my hate of other people is rooted in me. worrying I'm not going to make it or. worrying I'm not funny enough and then. you get kind of like that's embarrassing. so let's try to move away from that yeah. it is especially with comedy and. something that you can actually improve. on it's really stupid or even martial. arts something you improve on I get it. with. girls cuz they get it with looks like. looks oh they saying okay no looks is a. [ __ ] ter what what a crazy.
crapshoot yeah you could just get two. sixes or you get two ones yeah and. there's not a goddamn thing you can do. about it you just got [ __ ] by. genetics and it's because men don't give. a [ __ ] about your personality they. barely care yeah it's uh as long as. you're nice enough you just you're nice. and smiley and friendly be there don't. stop like she's great yeah yeah she's. awesome she was quiet like we're such. losers dude we like she was like not.
interrupting me when I was talking she's. awesome yeah dude it's all genetics yeah. it's all just we're looking for those. features yeah we're looking for Symmetry. and all kinds of different things and. it's just the world is a rough place if. it's just a looks thing but if it's a. performance thing God damn it it's the. opposite like you should be excited by. someone who's better than you because. that gives you something to strive for. and it also gives you fuel yeah. absolutely and I I've said this publicly. I think on another on true Jord podcast.
but watching Andrew blow up there's. times where I'm insecure I'm like oh am. I going to get there but then watching. him handle all of it I'm like oh that is. such a blessing to be able to watch him. handle everything so if and when I get. to that position this is how you handle. it I've seen it done before yes that's. important that's important to learn how. to just be yourself stay yourself you. have to learn how to stay yourself. because the pressures are different the. world it's like you step into a. different atmosphere yeah yeah it's like. a different en en a it's like you're on.
a different planet the gravity is. different as the number of eyeballs. increase everything every feeling you. have about these groups of people with. an opinion you amplifies as their. numbers amplifies yeah so if you were. hung up on other people's opinions and. then you blow up yeah you're in real. trouble because if you read all that. stuff you can go crazy and we've all. seen it we've all seen guys who go crazy. yeah yeah just like the pressure and the. other people and the opinions and all. that stuff it cracks them I remember. when you came on flagrant you were like. I'm sure there's stuff that's negative.
about me I just don't read it and then. that actually helped me because I was. like oh if Joe Rogan doesn't the most. famous guy I know doesn't read the. comments I thought there was like. something weak and you needed to like. train yourself to get used to negative. it was like a really stupid thought but. it's like no you could just not do it. and then those people aren't real in the. real world if you're a nice person right. you want to have nice exchanges with. people like I'm a nice guy I like to be. friendly I like meeting people and. hugging them I like I like fun times.
I don't like arguments so if like I'm. engaging with people who are troubled. mentally ill people that are just. looking to [ __ ] on people all the then. you get all that energy in your head. like I wouldn't I wouldn't gravitate. towards that energy in real life why. would I gravitate towards that energy. online yeah this it's not good for you. so if you pretend that you don't care at. all yeah well now you're pretending okay. now you're not now you're not a human. anymore cuz all humans care about other. people's opin.
of why we. alled you know why our tribes manag to. move into cities and create Agriculture. and create. civilization you have to like each other. you get along it's part of the deal of. being a human being and if you try to. pretend that I don't give a [ __ ] okay. well now you're lying that's a coping. mechanism now you're lying you just got. to be honest about who you what you are. you're a human being and if you're a. human being you what what do you want.
you want good interactions with people. my wife said a thing I was getting in my. head a couple times and she says a thing. she's like let me ask you a question. have you ever gone to a Content. Creator's page and left a negative. comment and I was like I don't think so. and I I loved hating on things but going. on to someone's page and then she was. like now imagine doing it incessantly. all day long those people have some. level of mental illness that like their. life is based around hating someone else. you can't take those people that. seriously and I was like that's a valid. point they might dislike me but that. level is weird yeah they're losers it's. a bandwidth issue and I don't mean.
they're losers like they're never they. can't be winners I mean like the what. you're doing you're engaging in loser. Behavior I've engaged in loser behavior. before I've been a loser right doesn't. mean you're you are like this is a can. you are a can like you never change this. is never going to be a plant you know it. is what it is that's not what I mean but. I mean that if you're acting like a. loser if it walks like a duck quacks. like you're a [ __ ] duck you're a. loser and if you're a guy that's going. on you think Michael Jordan's leaving.
negative YouTube comments you know what. I'm saying like like you people that are. successful don't have time to try to. take other people down for no reason. unless you're Cat Williams yeah but. that's he's great at it though he's so. good at it though if you're not that. good at it don't do it but also he's. being accurate yeah the thing about cat. is like you can't refute the things he's. saying other than the book thing there's. no way he read that many books but 40 is. impressive it's not as fast as he said. but it's impressive was it five flat he. ran the 40 in like five flat have you. seen that clip yes crazy he's fast yeah.
he's fast man and he's cool he's fun. he's a fun dude hey I have some loser. Behavior to apologize for before we get. really yeah yesterday I'm walking. through Austin and I'm like this City's. great why did I get on Rogan the first. time and [ __ ] all over Austin what a. fantastic City I'm a loser 68 degrees on. a Sunday I'm walking around there's. trees there's beautiful people there's. good food and I realized the only reason. I hated it is cuz I would leave Texas. when I moved to New York or LA and every. hacky liberal would be like oh I hate.
Texas but I like Austin and then I got. insecure and some loser [ __ ] and I was. like you know what [ __ ] Austin dude. [ __ ] vegans they suck this city is. great if you go to certain parts of. Austin you will get annoyed I was in. East Austin a couple months ago and I. saw some [ __ ] guy driving his Tesla. with a mask on I literally wanted to. yank him out of his car and break his. neck you [ __ ] you you're a problem. voting I guarantee you you're a problem. oh my God you're the reason why there's. no B dude I saw a guy in 2022 in an.
elevator and he got mad at me for not. having a mask on I was like buddy it's. over it's over he got mad at you not. wearing a mask and then because New York. had the whole mask thing for longer and. so I guess but to me once it was it. still going on in 2022 when you got in. the elevator I don't I guess well my. wife NYU she got a masters at NYU and. they made them take boosters which I. took the Vex I'm fine with that but. boosters I was like I'm not doing it if. it's a cold I'm not vaccinating against. a cold I'm not doing it and then they. made them wear masks until I think.
middle of 2023 they had to wear masks. Jesus Christ which is insane there's no. silence zero science yes if you you look. at the science behind masking there's. actually legitimate science that. breathing those dirty [ __ ] masks with. that bacteria inches from your mouth is. bad that's that's fair yeah because. you're you're you're spitting into this. thing and then this thing is right in. front of you and it's also warm and. moist so it breeds bacteria Like a. Surgeon wears masks to protect someone. whose body is cut open that makes sense.
spit inside of them he's not talking. having full conversations he breathes in. it for the surgery takes it off that's. it another mask or whatever and if you. wear one of those tight fitting n95 or. whatever they call them is that what it. is k95 and n95 if you wear one of those. like even that is you're getting air in. okay and you must understand that the. particles of whatever virus it is are. smaller than the [ __ ] holes that. you're getting air through like you. could Vape through those things you seen. Vape through them no yeah [ __ ] Vape.
goes everywhere there's a doctor that. was showing that early on who's a. respiratory specialist he was like this. is insane and let me show you why it's. insane so he takes a you know one of. those big Juice Box Vapes that those. dorks use what they sucking on a robot. dick just so he he takes this big puff. and then blows right through like one of. them surgical masks like right through. it wow okay so the co particles are. smaller than the Vape particles yeah. it's not ense but it made people feel.
better I war in the beginning cuz you. know it's like you don't want to be an. [ __ ] Everybody's scared you don't. want people upset oh there's no mask. yeah and I early on I I'm with you I was. I get it we didn't know what the [ __ ]. this was we didn't know how to control. it so this is what we feel we need to do. and then as more info started coming out. we should start to get less hysterical. about it because there's more info on it. and it felt like in New York we didn't I. thought some places went so far the. other way was a little nuts but it was. more fun liberals it's liberals and this. is coming from someone who's been mostly. liberal their whole life with most.
issues I'm I'm liberal about pretty much. everything until it gets to like border. and guns and then I'm like I I know. violence I understand reality and this. crime is real it's a real thing yeah. like this idea that you shouldn't be. protected is [ __ ] nuts especially. when you're defunding the police you. [ __ ] idiots yeah that was crazy yeah. that was crazy yeah I you know what I I. have a bit in the special where I talk. about just like the marketing of it like. defund the police I don't when you when. I talk to Liberal people about what that. means they would be like yeah you know I. just want to like specialize the police.
force and have less like have. deescalation measures first blah blah. blah I'm like well that's a specialize. to police is a lot better than defund. the police you maniac yeah what they. have to do is train the police better. and make improve the police and give. those folks mushrooms every now and. again and let them. cleanse you because of you I started. smoking weed a little bit it's great I. gotcha I got you on that podcast that. day huh you got me on the podcast that. day and I buddy let me tell you shro. even better yes I'm so glad I waited.
till I was 37 to do any of this I don't. think I could have handled it when I was. smart that's actually shrooms are the. best all when you were showing me that. fish thing all I was thinking about is. I'm going to get shrooms tickets to a. fish show sit there and lose my mind AR. Shir is trying to convince me to go to a. makeup specialist and get like a. prosthetic nose and Chin oh yeah. yeah put a wig on maybe maybe wi yeah. not a blonde one not a blonde one people. know yeah maybe a redhead maybe I'll be. a redhe head and and uh some baggy.
clothes or something like that you know. something to the guns. yeah well I can't if my just my tattoos. if anybody identifies those you have to. uh you if you're going to go to a fish. concert you have to just be one with the. crowd you can't do that if you're famous. so you got you got to be able to sneak. in and just just just take it in wow. dude we could just run out this fear. let's just do a god let's just do a. concert a private concert with fish for. you and your friends and dude I am.
obsessed with AI animation I'm obsessed. with it I follow like 15 different. people online now on Instagram I just. it'll come across my feed and I'll just. find these these insane videos that. they're creating like instantly with AI. and they're beautiful they're amazing we. made songs with AI on the pat one of the. patreon episodes and they're so good so. 20 seconds unbelievable have you seen. the the rat be that are happening where. they think the songs are AI because.
they're so like one guy said I know this. song isn't AI because how can AI take a. breath in a song and I was like because. it's AI it's just going to get better. and better no they um they take breaths. they do all kinds of stuff now they. mimic all the patterns of speech that. they can record from all these different. people so they have act like if you have. a databas like say if you and I on we've. been on a bunch of podcasts now so they. could take us and have us say anything. and would be like weird pauses and.
clearing of the throat it would be. indistinguishable what is your what is. this Drake takes aim at Kendrick Lamar. with AI Tupac and Snoop Dog vocals on. Taylor Made Kendrick Lamar beefing Drake. wrote a beef and he did AI Snoop and AI. Tupac talking about how disappointed. they are in Kendrick LaMore he wrote the. Reps and then the voes sound perfect oh. my God it's unbelievable it's happening. what is wrong with Kendrick Lamar. they're just beef this rap just it's. competitive they beef sometimes I think. Kendrick started this one and then it's.
just like who wants to be the best and. Hip-Hop is rooted in this kind of like. battle rap and like comp competitive. Spirit Well hip-hop is an interesting. thing because I love hip-hop but I don't. really love. bragging but I love hip-hop bragging. yeah because it's performative it's not. you don't take it seriously well it's. it's it's also you got to put yourself. in like like Jay-Z in uh 99 Problems you. know where he's rapping about all you.
think about his cash money hoes like if. you grew up with holes in your zap toes. you would you know that's the whole idea. is like if you come from nothing and. then all a sudden you got diamonds and. you're driving a [ __ ] Lamborghini. yeah absolutely it's supposed to be a. celebration of the fact that you made it. and it's part of the the bragging I. remember when my parents had money they. had money lost money had money lost. money but the last time they had money I. was like who needs all this stuff then. they lost money I started comedy I is. broke as [ __ ] whole family's not making.
money and I was like all I want to do is. buy things when I get money I'm buying. everything and then you buy a few things. and you're like I'm good I got a nice. place to live I'm happy with my 2012. Honda Accord we're good the thing about. expensive stuff is if you can't afford. it the stress of that not being or. barely being able to afford it and. working for it is not nearly worth what. you get out of the thing yeah the only. time nice things are worth it is when. they're kind of free meaning not that. they're free but you don't feel it like.
if you went out and bought a new Mustang. you wouldn't even feel it if you're rich. like it's like boo I can enjoy this this. is fun yeah it's like it doesn't affect. your life but if you make $60,000 a year. and you go out and buy a new Mustang and. then you're looking at those car. payments and you're looking at your rent. payment and then you're looking at your. bills you're like [ __ ] like maybe I. should take on like a little Uber thing. on the side you know my must yeah people. wind up doing that to pay for a car. which is a great great thing to do if. you want to do it that way but the the.
additional stress Like Houses like I. always tell people this this is an. important lesson that I learned when I. was 27 when I was 27 was the first time. I ever had a nice apartment I moved to. Hollywood I was on a television show and. I got this place in North Hollywood and. it had a loft yeah and I had a pool. table in my living room I'm like this is. amazing the dream and I was sitting down. I didn't even have furniture yet and I. was dating this girl and we were sitting. down listening to seal you know that.
kiss and we're listening to it I had. this dope ass [ __ ] stereo that I. bought I've never had a stereo and then. I mean I I have [ __ ] stereos but I. never had a real stereo with the big. speakers and so we're listening to this. this sound is like going all it's. bouncing off the walls and everything. I'm like this is incredible but then. after a few months I had this Revelation. I was like oh this is just home this is. the same feeling I had in my sh. apartment in New York it's just home the.
high wears off exactly my shitty. apartment in New York I had a television. and a bed that's all I had all I had is. a television and a bed and a pool queue. and then I had in the other room I had a. kitchen that I was [ __ ] never in I. just ate out every day yeah very rarely. did I cook yeah so it's like that was. home so I'd go there from the road do a. gig plop my bags. down sit on the couch turn on MTV I'm. home it's the same feeling the exact.
same feeling but if you got to bust your. ass and really kill yourself for the. same feeling it's not worth it kids your. home feels like your home no matter if. it's a $50 million mansion or a [ __ ]. condo that you're paying 600 bucks a. month on yeah same thing my wife is big. on uh the thing where if you can't. afford it twice you can't afford it once. that's smart yeah so that's I need I'm. very financially I think just byproduct. of being a comedian and like you risk. everything I don't have any risk Avers.
aversion at all my wife is a little more. risk averse so like if I want to buy a. nice watch I'm a little bit in watches. now she's like can you buy that twice. I'm cool with you buying it just make me. feel better can you buy it twice that's. it that's all I want to know can you buy. did the watch things the thing that's. the thing dudes get into and them. [ __ ] is expensive oh yeah yeah yeah. and then you get into watches that. people don't know are expensive but they. are expensive that's my that's what I. love now cuz walking around New York I. don't want to I'm very I'm a very. robable guy. so walking around New York I want.
something that's nice and you're like. all right fair enough I don't think. that's that nice of a watch I'll let him. walk yeah that's that's my that's my jam. now you got to think like that if you're. in certain spots yeah has New York. gotten that that bad so apparently I. looked this up cuz Alex like keeps up. with this stuff Alex on the podcast and. he was saying crime is down so I looked. it up murder is down like 15% from a. year ago uh rape is down like 4% I think. assault might be up but yeah you do feel. here's a problem though Under reporting. and one of the problems with under when. when there's no police presence and like.
that's the thing in LA right now. robberies are so common it's so bad the. mayor of LA's house got broken into. really yeah yeah the LA mayor pull that. up it just happened wow just happened. yesterday it they're so [ __ ] common. and cops aren't coming for anything that. a lot of [ __ ] goes under reported. because if you call it in no one does. anything no one cares Los Angeles mayor. Karen Karen bass safe after suspect. breaks into her off official residence. that's crazy I like how she has an.
official official residence is also wild. yeah what's the unofficial her her. family were not harmed when a suspect. gained entry I like how I say that. gained entry he gained access he he. broke into your [ __ ] house to Getty. House the LA mayor's official residence. on Irving Boulevard around 6:40 a.m. this morning first of all that's. ridiculous that you have a place where. everybody knows you're going to be. because it's the mayor house yeah you. got to stay in the mayor house but it. should no one should get in we all know. where the president's staying we're not. getting in I hung out with the governor. when I first moved to uh to to Texas oh.
yeah and the governor lives in the. governor's mansion and so you got to go. to the governor's mansion you're going. through all the security they're. frisking you taking stuff out of your. pockets cops and I'm like how crazy is. it that you're staying in this spot. where everybody knows where you are and. then while I was hanging out with them a. drone flew over the balcony [ __ ] out of. here it turned out it was the fire. department they were doing something. with drones so like they scan for fire. and [ __ ] and I don't know what they but.
but I was like this is crazy do you have. to deal with this all the time is a. drone in front of your [ __ ] house. yeah I'd get a shot yeah I remember. watching a presidential debate it was. Obama and Romney I think and then we're. at the Village Lantern where we came up. and then my boy Michael blasin points at. the TV and he goes why would anyone want. this and I was like yeah that's a good. point all that to leave my. house yeah so it's drones flying over my. house a level of scrutiny anytime I say. uh people are jumping on remember they. were jumping on barck cuz he said uh a. lot uh with they're just all over him.
it's like dog can I live imagine that. now you see how bad Biden isn't speak. yeah yeah it's rough dude it's I got. hairy legs it's I it's so rough to watch. it's so rough to watch imagine if Obama. came along and ummed and people. complained about that wait a minute how. do you not complain about this guy. that's true this is ridiculous do you. want it's hard you say I think Michelle. should run she win she could win I think. I think I think if she won I think if. she she could win yeah I think I don't. think she wants that though I don't.
think she wants that in her life the. [ __ ] that they dealt with over the. eight years there when he was president. yeah [ __ ] all that [ __ ] that job for. anybody that you know that like really. would be really good at it yeah I trust. the person who doesn't want the job more. than the person who wants the job I mean. you have to be like real desperate to. change the world yeah and and be a good. person and actual good candidate to to. understand that they're going to come. for you like the way they're coming for. Trump right now yeah this thing that. they're doing right now with uh the the.
criminal trial for the hush money. payment this is essentially the the way. it is it's like he incorrectly labeled a. payment on it's like a ledger thing it's. not even like it's illegal to pay. someone to shut up MH the whole thing is. it's like how he recorded what that. payment was for I don't know enough. about the trial to know I don't but I. think what a casual Observer like myself. was says oh this seems like a Witch Hunt.
and I don't think if your strategy is to. make Trump not win an election I think. that only emboldens his support people. who are on the fence might be like oh. they really are trying to get this guy. he's right when he says all this stuff. they're definitely trying to get him but. if you look at what's going on in New. York crime wise look at the the bail. situation like those two guys that beat. up the cops the the illegal immigrants. that beat up the cops I didn't even know. about this they they let him out right. away and the dude was like tacing the. camera and [ __ ] like he just fire to be. honest. this a young guy who walked here from.
Guatemala he's like [ __ ] you I just beat. up your cop that guy is Scarface we. watched a movie about that guy in the. 70s and loved him yeah and you are never. going to get that guy out of here now. like even if you beat up a cop like. you're not even deporting him you're. just letting him right back on the. street and then how are you tracking. them you're not tracking them are you. tracking them no you're not tracking. them there's no resources there's no. [ __ ] money for anything there it's. crazy I thought South Park had a really. good take on IL illegal immigration like. 15 years ago which was like the Liberals. are all just like let them in let them.
in let them in the conservatives like. don't let any in and nobody's like hey. maybe we could also just try to help. them out in their country so they don't. need to sneak in and that's probably a. great way to do Aid the problem with. that is then you don't get the cheap. labor that you need to make cars like0. very true that's very true my parents. owned a restaurant that failed but uh if. you think we were hiring legal people. that's crazy no chance we would have. closed even faster that's the thing. about La they they just switched it to. $20 an hour for minimum wage yeah. there's no way you can afford that.
businesses are just going to close up. shop they're going to kill the economy. or just keep hiring illegals it's going. to be one of those can't do it because. they have to get paid a certain amount. even the illegals do unless you're. paying them under the table if you're. running McDonald's you can't pay people. under the table they'll get you well I. they're also just going to do the self. checkout and just eliminate Workforce. wherever they can that's what's going to. happen it's going to be an AI thing it's. going to be self checked they already. have a thing here there's a water Burger. that's like a digital Water Burger you. you order it on app and then you pull up. to a kiosk it just [ __ ] comes out.
like all right yeah we're all going to. get used to it the self checkout doesn't. seem weird anymore not at all remember. Bill bur's bit like 12 years ago where. he's just like I'm just stealing it now. we're all like no we'll just pay for it. El s and they'll have a tip at the end. at the airport I just rang myself up and. you want a tip get [ __ ] ridiculous. give me my money back that's the tip rid. that's ridiculous the tip thing is crazy. but people try to weasel tips out of you. everywhere yeah yeah it's weird how like. some things get tips like a Starbucks. barista but other things you never think. about tipping yeah you know that are.
like harder jobs yeah I so I this might. be classes of me or whatever when I see. the like grocery delivery guy I often. see someone that I feel like could use. the money more than the [ __ ] Barista. Starbucks so I try to overtip them I'll. do the $1 standard at a coffee shop cuz. my friends shame me but uh now I'm like. I I'm kind of classist in how I tip I'm. like who needs it more and then I'll. over tip that guy yeah well I like to. tip people it's fun it feels nice I've. heard your tips are pretty crazy. it feels good it's like I call it like a.
little love bomb you leave a love bomb. for someone changes their day I'm. fighting against my Indian Heritage. anytime I leave a big tip I'll do it but. it's tough it took a lot of work I'm. Italian and the you know Sinatra and all. those just giving everybody's handing. out big tips that's a big thing for the. makes people feel better it's makes it's. a it's a nice thing to do it makes. people feel better but my point is like. how come you don't tip the stewardess on. an. airplane cuz they're the fun police dude. that's why sometimes they are the fun.
police can I just have my seat back. while we land why can't I have my seat. back while we land what's your [ __ ]. deal makes no sense it's they're just. doing their job they're forced to do. that stupid [ __ ] but if you let me have. my seat back maybe I give you a 20 on. the way out they'll get fired they. didn't follow the stupid [ __ ]. protocol but those people like they're. they're bringing you food they're. bringing you water you press a button. and then they have to come over to you. summon them with a button and you know. they don't get a tip that's true but the. Starbucks guy does yeah okay you know. and that's smug [ __ ] oh some of them are.
so smug yeah is it is that a. prerequisite for being a barista you. have to like look at people can I can I. tell you sideways I'm trying to tip. better as I feel I'm more blessed and I. remember Co being like Oh yeah these. these tips are this an important thing. to do right but if you give me any. attitude the way I press zero and then. spin it back around to you so you can. see me not tip it makes me so happy I. I'm. Overjoyed zero there you go buddy that's. a Texas thing I think to a degree we. don't like rudeness at all very yes sir. no sir I'm raised yes sir no sir yes.
ma'am no ma'am please thank you these. are huge when I was growing up so if you. don't give me that I feel so like who. the [ __ ] there's a real benefit in that. kind of Texas friendly like politeness. there's a real benefit that makes. everybody feels better absolutely I call. people ma'am and Sir all the time makes. everybody feel better yeah and now that. I'm old nobody gets offended anymore cuz. I'm older than the people I'm sing or. mamming 95% of the time yeah yeah I'm. always older than young guys that I'm. calling sir but it's it's um you know it.
feels good makes everybody feel better. there's there's a method to it there's a. there's an intelligence to it right CU. that that whole East Coast thing you. know I grew up in Boston everybody's. hardass and hard edged and it's like. yeah I'm not I don't have to do that but. but I get why they're that way because. everybody that lives on the East Coast. unless you moved there recently you're. essentially the child of either. immigrants or the children of immigrants. who are were you know of grandparents of.
of of immigrants their grand children. grandchildren of immigrants yeah someone. someone came from a boat and they landed. on that spot whether it was in 1920s or. whatever the [ __ ] it was with my family. was in the 1920s so these people they. landed there from [ __ ] Italy and. Ireland and they were poor as [ __ ] and. desperate they made it across the the. ocean on a boat without YouTube they. didn't know what the [ __ ] they were. getting into they probably barely saw a. photo of what America looked like they. had no idea if they were going to get a. job yeah those are hard ass people and.
so those people raised hard ass kids and. it takes a long time to break that out. of a generational cycle and I think for. a lot of people that moved to California. like I didn't even know people were. friendly until I moved to California. yeah when I moved to California I'm like. girls are so much nicer they're like. nice they're like hi like hi how you. doing they're not going to just be mean. to you yeah I think some of it also is. just the number of people the density of. population in Texas I don't I see a. person every 90 seconds I can say hi to. everyone I walk by in New York there's.
too many people if I hold the door open. them for one person in Texas two might. walk through in New York 30 might walk. through so I'm not holding it I'm not. doing this that's a great point cuz like. I walked my dog yesterday I'm walking on. the street and everybody I see him. waving hi how you doing but I saw like. five guys it's so much easier it's easy. if you're in New York City and you're. walking on the street and it's just. constant flow of people coming your way. you literally can't wave to everybody. you would be a crazy. person imagine if you walk. [ __ ] Fifth Avenue waving it everying.
[ __ ] kicked out of you someone would get. upset at you like The Joker opening. scene get get chased down the street and. get beaten the [ __ ] up bro I've been. watching a lot of videos on Instagram. unfortunately of women getting punched. in the face in New York I've s I've seen. like four or five of them over the last. few days people just punching women for. no reason yeah that's like a thing. that's like a thing what is that I don't. know I thought it was only white women. at first so it was just funny to me but. then uh I found out they're doing it to. everybody and now I'm scared for my wife. yeah I saw some Asian lady get punched.
in the face today what the [ __ ] for no. reason just walking down the street and. this dude just wa she had a mask on too. by the way maybe that's why maybe that's. why this dude just way laid her and. knocked her mask off sent her flying out. of nowhere like you don't think you're. going to get hit first of all people die. that way all the time yeah because if. you don't know you're going to get hit. and you get hit you go unconscious and. you bang your head off the concrete it's. like getting the world dropped on you. yeah no I that's one thing that Fighters. are keenly aware of that most of us.
don't I don't think think about a lot. you got to really think about that on. concrete if you're going to punch. somebody on. concrete you might go to jail yeah you. might go to jail for a long and you. might have horrible nightmares that you. could have avoided that you didn't have. to do that especially if you're you're. skilled yeah and you know that like I. don't have to [ __ ] this guy up but this. guy's [ __ ] pissing me off I want to. teach this [ __ ] a lesson yeah I. have a friend who had that exact. situation like I haven't fought since. then I don't know what happened to the. guy he's not I had to get out of there I. just and he's like a trained fighter and.
he's like I can't I don't know what. happened to him I couldn't find out and. that just haunts me I was very. enthusiastic about fighting until I was. 19 and when I was 19 I fought in this. tournament in Anaheim California it was. the Nationals and I was the. Massachusetts state champion and I. fought this kid who was uh I think he. was from Illinois I think he was the. Illinois state champion and I I hit him. in the head with a wheel kick and with a. what a wheel kick is is like your body. spinning so I'm standing with my left. foot forward and spinning my right heel. around in a circle and it has insane.
power I mean insane power the amount of. power that you get in a wheel kick is. cuz it's my legs it's my upper body. there's a whip to it it's got all this. torque and I caught this guy per he came. at me with what's called uh a stepping. roundhouse kick so he had his front leg. forward and he stepped forward with his. left leg he was going to throw a kick. and I spun with my right leg at the same. time so I caught him running in and I. blasted him in the face and he went out.
face plant snoring never woke up never. woke up he was unconscious for half an. hour they put him in a Stretcher they I. was watching he never got out of that. stretcher they took him to the hospital. I have no idea what happened to him and. I it it freaked me out yeah it freaked. me out yeah um I lost my next match and. I was that was my third match of the day. were you just like I can't get over this. no no I L I lost my my next match the. guy was just better I just lost okay and.
uh. but when I went back to. Boston my uh my main instructor he. wasn't there in California when when I. was fighting and so uh cuz there was a. like a team of us it was like 10 of us. that went to California and he he said. to me he goes I heard you had a great. knockout and I said yeah he goes he goes. uh wheel kick I go yeah I go I thought. he was dead he never got up he goes. sometimes they die. [ __ ] I was 19 and I was fighting for.
zero money wow and I none of it made any. and my heel was sore I was I was limping. the next day cuz my heel was sore from. his face yeah and then I was thinking. I'm not immune to that someone could. 100% do that to me we're whipping. [ __ ] bones at each other yeah you. know I. mean I just it changed my my feeling. about it I never I didn't have the same. enthusiasm after that. that was probably like the beginning of. the end for me I fought for a couple.
more years but it was like that was kind. of it I was kind of like what was was. your aspiration before that to be like a. world champion I wanted to be in the. Olympics ah okay yeah but there's no. money in Taekwondo there was no no money. in kickboxing either I had an offer for. a kickboxing fight it was like 500 bucks. boy but the and then if I fought F if I. fought professional then I could never. fight amateur again cuz now I'm a. professional so okay like 500 bucks it. was like 500 bucks to train for like 2.
months and maybe get pummeled yeah you. know maybe get brain damage maybe get my. nose shattered you know maybe get my. ribs kicked in like and that's the. beginning of the standup career. essentially because well I was doing. both at the same time as well which was. also a problem because I knew I wasn't. as committed to fighting but it really. began with that 19-year-old when I. knocked that dude out that was the. beginning of the end and then it was. like later on it was headaches from. kickboxing oh wow I was getting a lot of. headaches I was getting headaches like. after sparring I would be lying in bed.
and my brain would just be throbbing. just boom boom boom and I remember. thinking what am I doing yeah like am I. ruining my brain cuz I knew a lot of. guys who their brain got ruined and it. didn't seem like they realized it it. didn't seem like cuz they were still. fighting it didn't seem they realized or. maybe they didn't know what to do or. maybe they just weren't that smart but. they were still fighting and training. but I was realizing they were bluring. their words and there was there's just.
this clear evidence that something was. off and I was like oh my God is that. happening to me is that going to happen. to me yeah you know and then there's all. sorts later on I realized there's all. sorts of other side effects of that. which is like impulsiveness gambling. addiction people get crazy they start. doing a lot of drugs they drink a lot a. lot of guys become drunks because. they're just trying to like they just. trying to feel good they just feel. terrible all the time yeah and we had no. idea about any of this back then you in. a fog of depression because they people. thought back then punch drunk was a.
thing that was real everybody knew a guy. but but no one worried about it up until. it was obvious right you know and no one. worried about there's a. subconcussive traumatic brain injuries. that cause a lot of uh CTE which is uh. chronic traumatic and cyop right and. that's that's the thing that makes. people kill themselves and you know do. wild [ __ ] and lose their [ __ ] mind. but soccer players get that man from.
heading the ball I've heard this and. it's so crazy how delicate the brain is. we don't think about it super delicate. it's super delicate and that's why I. tell my friends that are all they still. like to spar I was like man I know it's. fun I know it's fun to spar but don't do. it don't [ __ ] do it man don't do it. because you could just slip away and not. even realize that you slipped away yeah. cuz all you have to do is like spar with. one meat head one guy really and then he. hits you you get mad and you hit him and. next thing you know you're in fight. you're you're in a fight in the gym and.
a lot of fights happen in the gym. there's a lot of sparring matches that. essentially become fights where you're. just wailing bre full no most gyms don't. right it depends on the gym I mean a. really good gym will break it up. especially if someone's better than the. other person and they're wailing on them. a really good gym will stop that yeah. but a really good gym will not want you. to spar like that most of the time. anyway most of the time they want you to. what they call technical Spar so you're. just kind of like you're hitting each. other but you're not like full blasting. each other you're just getting timing in.
and that's a really great way to spar if. you trust your sparring partner so if. you got got a guy that you could do it. with and he's cool and you're cool and. you you like each other you know and you. can make this agreement like if I hit. him I'm going to hit him like this I. kick him I'm just going to like stop at. the body and if you do that then you. really develop sharp timing and it's. great but you do have to do hard. sparring every now and then because you. got to know what that feels like and the. consequences of making mistakes are so. much more I'm going to be honest I think. about getting into like Jiu-Jitsu and. stuff and then you start talking like.
this and I'm like I think I'm okay I. think I don't need this I think I'm not. built for it yeah well I'm a Grappler. well you got Assan looking good I I went. by the way mothership is beautiful Assan. took me yesterday thank you gorgeous. mitsis Al also I as a non-drinker I. didn't have any interest in mitsis and. then I went there and I was like oh this. is a Vibe yeah this is like a Speak Easy. and then I heard it's shut down for. anybody but Comics after a certain hour. that's awesome after 11:00 p.m. comics. and their friend that's awesome but yeah. Assan looks good dude and he said he was.
training with you yeah I got those guys. on a a workout boot camp Shane Gillis. Assan Derek Poston uh Brian Simpson uh. Duncan Trussell is Poston still doing. only meet he's doing carnivore he told. me he was doing that so usan yeah I got. them on that for January it was World. carnivore month and I said I just want. you guys to try this for one month he. said hard eggs you could eat it is hard. yeah but once you get accustomed to it. like that's how I eat man I mean I'll. still eat whatever I want every now and.
then but the vast majority of my diet is. all just meat and eggs no veggies very. little if I want to like the other night. I had a salad I felt like having a salad. and blood work is all good no great it's. great everything's great look at that. yeah no it's amazing it's like your body. wants to eat real food and if you're. eating bread and all that [ __ ] it's. not real food it's just your body's like. I'm never tired okay so through the I. used to get the look I 100% I'm addicted.
to Pasta like if you give me a big bowl. of like Linguini with clams I will [ __ ]. that up I will [ __ ] some lasagna up you. put a pizza in front of me I can't stop. eating I'll eat a whole pizza a whole. extra large pizza right. but that's not good for you and when I. would eat like that I would always crash. I would get these moments like the. middle of the day I was like I got to.
take a [ __ ] nap I wanted to take a. nap I love that feeling it's a great. feeling so fun it's so fun to just be. able to take a nap if you can but if. you're busy and you can't take a nap and. now you got to go do things and you're. all droopy yeah but when I started. eating only meat one of the first things. I noticed is that my energy levels were. completely level throughout the day it. was flat it never went up and never went. down I was like this is crazy like I'm. not getting tired where I'm expecting to. get tired and then I realized oh that's. probably like an insulin dump like my.
body's probably [ __ ] up from all this. carbs all this sugar and [ __ ] that. I'm putting in my body and as soon as I. stopped doing that I felt so much better. and that's what those guys said that's. what Assan said and Derek said they're. like dude I feel so much better I have. so much more energy yeah cuz you're not. poisoning yourself yeah I did like a. keto style it was called soda this thing. before I fil the special I let go like. 20 lbs and it was I didn't realize the. idea of eating fat instead of carbs is. fat even with a smaller amount is just. more filling mhm so carbs you can eat.
200 calories of carbs you're yeah. protein and fat carbs I'm hungry again. right away right if I have even just a. teaspoon and a teaspoon tablespoon and a. half of olive oil I'm good for four five. hours usually yeah it's more more it's a. higher satiety level so if you if you. just eat a 16 oun steak you put a 16. ounce riby in front of you and if that's. all you're eating you'll be full you'll. eat that you're like that was great but. if there's mashed potatoes right next to. it with gravy and then maybe some french. fries and then maybe over there there's.
a little bit of spaghetti and meatballs. like I'm gonna keep eating right I'm. Gonna Keep stuffing my fat stupid face. and then I'm GNA at the end of it I'll. be like this oh [ __ ] yeah oh which is. still my favorite thing to do great. feeling but it's really bad for you it's. a great feeling that's really like. drinking great feeling that's really bad. for you yeah I don't I don't drink but I. will Gorge yeah it's not good man it's. not good you really especially one of. the things as you get older you you. realize there's there's a giant.
difference between people my age that. take care of themselves and people my. age that neglect their health they they. deteriorate like I have friends that are. my age and when I tell people we're the. same age they're like what yeah like. they they other people can't even. believe it how is that got your age like. because he didn't do anything he didn't. take care of himself like you have to. take care of you got to treat your body. like it's a [ __ ] car yeah if your. car's got a [ __ ] up transmission get. it fixed yeah. change your [ __ ] oil stupid have you.
have you seen this guy Brian Johnson he. was on flagrant he's fascinating dude. he's fascinating yeah he says he eats. like 1,800 calories a day and he the. saying he says it's kind of fire he goes. every calorie is fighting for its life. every calorie has a purpose and if we. can't find a purpose for you you're. you're out yeah every piece of food has. a purpose he's also like injected his. son's blood into him and yeah yeah it's. so when I first read articles here's. what I'll say when I would just read. he's coming on the Pod for researching. and I'm like they paint him as like this.
billionaire [ __ ] boy who just wants to. be a billionaire and have sex with. 18yearold or whatever they kind of make. him seem like that when you talk to him. he's like I think humans can live. forever with the help of AI and I just. want to push us there and you feel like. oh yeah this is not he's not like he was. wearing like a unicorn shirt when we saw. him and like some blue corduro no. nothing fashionable about this man he. just and I think his dad is pretty sick. and so he I think wants to make humans. live forever very soon so his dad can. stick around it's actually like there's.
a lot more nobility to it when I talk to. him than when I just read articles about. him isn't it interesting that you would. be skeptical about a person who wants to. live longer yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. well a billionaire who wants to live. forever sounds those things together. sound Evil Genius Like L Luthor right. but it also makes people's like no. everybody's G to die you too it's like. especially poor people that don't have. the money to do all the [ __ ] that he's. doing cuz what he's doing is costs like. Millions every year right I think a year. on his body yeah that's crazy yeah. LeBron spends a million a year and this.
guy's not even an athlete but two. million a year yeah I mean he looks okay. he looks great dude and he look he looks. better he's in better shape obviously. than he was five years ago yeah he's. also a vegan though which I found. fascinating because there's not a lot of. evidence that that's good for you he. didn't think that was healthy he thought. he could be as healthy and protect the. environment I believe he thought the. environmental cost a meat right now yeah. I should read more that doesn't it's not. protecting [ __ ] you're encouraging monoc. agriculture you're encouraging the death. of Untold numbers of creatures when they.
[ __ ] when they when they when they. cultivate those crops when they they. they cut them down and run those [ __ ]. combines through them everything dies. dude if you think one life is one life. so if you think like a bison is as. important as a mouse well you're a. hypocrite because those ground squirrels. shrews yeah ground nesting Birds fawns. rabbits things get [ __ ] destroyed if.
you talk to Farmers one of the things. you see after they run a combine through. the field is vultures vultures and crows. just flying over the field cuz they know. everything got [ __ ] up so if one life. is one life and this is not to say that. there not there's not a horrific loss of. life every day with like chickens the. number of chickens that get killed in. this country every year is in the. billions it's in the. how many chickens do we kill every year.
let's find out I was watching this thing. on all the different animals that get. killed like what's the the highest. number of animals to get killed a. chicken chicken it's got to be chicken. chickens is high up there I don't know. if it's number one but there's uh. there's a lot a lot of different things. get [ __ ] killed and eaten by people. yeah but monocrop agriculture is. terrible for the environment it's not. good it's bad because you you D like top. soil you're not to have one. 177 billion I think that's billion.
what's that that was animals total oh 8. billion chickens chickens down here 8. billion chickens every year us us 214. million turkeys that's surprising that's. ridiculous turkeys they they're like. they only exist because of Thanksgiving. yeah wildly overrated meat very. overrated yeah I'm amazed that there's. eight times shellfish look at the. shellfish oh my God 43 billion no that's. fire I love shellfish that one they they. got it 3 billion fish 23 billion oh.
million Ducks yeah 23 million Ducks. worldwide chicken said it was like 70. billion 70 billion woo every year every. year we kill 70 billion chickens it. makes sense though if there's 8 billion. people we all probably eat about nine. chickens a year on average youan chicken. the other day yeah yeah meanwhile I have. chickens I have chickens and they're. sweet they're my pets that's what's. weird yeah I have like 15 chickens and. they they make eggs like eat their eggs. but they're they're not worried about me. at all I'm like hey ladies I come by.
give them food they get excited to see. you you got a lot of land out there then. yeah yeah you are you raising any other. animals You full Farm or just the. chickens no just chickens and trying to. keep my dog from eating the. chickens my dog would be terrified my. dog is s PBS he'd be terrified of your. dog and chickens both freaking out oh. that's funny what kind of dog is it it's. a multi poo happy oh I love him dude I. didn't want a small dog. my wife made me get a small dog and I'm. so happy anybody who doesn't like small.
dogs I say meet Carl yeah he's fantastic. was he in your lap yeah look at this guy. dude oh little Carl look at little Carl. yeah it's the best yeah dogs going get. any cuter than Carl yeah they just get. different yeah wonderful just traveling. with a small dog is so much better than. yeah they're great little buddies yeah. they're little pals dude I got the full. sling I'm going to send Jamie a link I. got the full sling I put him in there. just walk around it's the best don't get. punched oh what if you fell and crushed. the dog to death no I I I could never I.
would have to fall it's like a mother. holding the sun you know what I mean you. got instincts I'm in cracked oh if I get. cracked what I'm saying like that. Chinese lady I saw today yeah yeah yeah. I'm probably about as strong as her so. yeah she was a big lady oh then. definitely quite wide she got wayed was. [ __ ] and the dude just stood over her. after he wayed her he just stood over. her and he pretended like nothing. happened he was talking to somebody else. you know young enough yeah I feel like. young kids SC me the most cuz they don't. know the value of a life yet they don't. get it I saw one kid that died uh in New.
York City these guys just walked up to. him and and cracked him and he fell. backwards over the curb and fell back. and slammed his head on the street oh. and died for nothing for 20 bucks they. they robbed him from $20 that's all he. had on him [ __ ] dude I know it's crazy. it's just crazy that there's that our. society is so [ __ ] up that we've been. spending so much money on [ __ ] like Wars. overseas and not nearly enough money on.
trying to figure out a way to have the. minimal amount of people grow up to want. to punch people in the face on the. street yeah the be like put a stop to. that or feel like they need to punch. people on the street figure out a way to. mitigate that like there's there's got. to be a science behind it like what is. the problem well abuse at home uh. violence in their neighborhood poverty. drugs gangs all that stuff if they could. pump money at that what would the like. the downstream effects of a lack of.
crime and violence if you could like. give people hope and educate them at an. early age and set people up saying I'm. going to help you I'm going to Mentor. you I'm going to get you along in life. the amount of money that we would spend. to do that would pay for itself four. five six times over and less crime less. [ __ ] less losers Less Problem less. prisons all that I just I so much of it. seems like it just starts at home and. there's the generation trauma thing that. you hear about a lot and it's like yeah. like we were talking about with the East. Coast there's a little bit of.
generational trauma there yeah I had so. much I had to think about my dad. struggled with alcohol abuse struggled. with a lot of stuff and I had to. understand what his life was supposed to. be in India and then what it was going. to be here in India he was like set he'. passed this exam that like 5 million. people apply for and they select like. 200 like he was going to be a. millionaire bare minimum 24 years old. then he's at another family member's. wedding and his little cousins are like. hey you're getting married today too he. had no idea arranged marriage getting. fitted for clothes on his way to the.
wedding Jes and then they're like you're. also moving to America that's cuz in in. the 70s in India they're just thinking. oh if he's successful in India he'll be. even more successful in America the. language barrier you never think about. and I I thought about somebody one of my. cousins it struck me because he goes. your dad is so funny and I was like what. the what are you talking about he's the. least funny he goes your dad's not funny. in in English he's so funny in Hindi and. I was like oh this guy does this. language he's not that good at and he. couldn't navigate the world the way he.
could in India he was supposed to be a. superstar then he comes here and he's in. Texas as a brown guy in the 70s probably. less than to all these people and he's. used to being a star and he can't be. funny and he can't be himself and that. just sucks the life out of you slowly. day by day what did he do in India he. was it's called a PCS officer so there's. a movie called 12th fail a Bollywood. movie I love Bollywood uh but it's about. a different post but equally competitive. that one is like is and then PCS is like. a government officer kind of like State. Police I guess but like you are at the.
very least well respected and if you. want to be rich and take some bribes you. can do that and my dad would have done. all of that he would have taken all the. bribes all the bribes and in India he. just kind of knew that's how he knew the. culture he knew how to navigate he knew. how how to grease the wheels and all of. that how to talk to people to get what. you want here he's not Charming because. he doesn't know English well enough. there he can get anything he wants here. he's just struggling trying to figure it. all out godamn and so I've I've become. keenly aware of like I don't know if we. as immigrant kids appreciate everything.
our parents had to go through to get. here for us I'm not here without that. well if my grandparents they're it was. actually my grandparents parents that. moved here but if if they weren't the. type of people that were so gangster. they were willing to get on that boat I. would be in Europe somewhere yes I'd be. in Europe hanging out in a cafe smoking. cigarettes talking [ __ ] yeah I would be. a fat spoiled piece of [ __ ] and it would. have been fun I'd have been a rich kid. but growing up in India I wouldn't have. been this what I am here I know that. yeah you want your own ability to to.
carve a path and there's a lot of. countries where that's not an option you. can't really carve a path to do whatever. you want to do yeah that's not available. to everybody everywhere yeah man. hopeless poverty I have I'm not saying. there's not extreme poverty in America. there is but I've seen hopeless poverty. in India where it's just like I don't. know how yall get out of this in three. generations even yeah when you fly into. Brazil one of the things that happen. when you fly into Rio uh we would do. UFC's there um you you go through the.
favellas the airport and the drive from. the airport to uh the to where the beach. where we're staying you drive straight. through the flla so all to the right of. you is shanty towns and you see extreme. poverty yeah and if you have you ever. seen that movie the city of God yes who. yes yeah yeah yeah yeah whoa my friend. Eddie Bravo said that makes boys in the. hood look like Sesame Street truly I. remember thinking it was going to be an. uplifting film so I was horrified. watching the whole thing but yeah it's. crazy man and my friends from Brazil say.
that's exactly what it's like that's. exactly what it's like in the favellas. they it's bad the runs the kids that. take over they're like 9 years old and. they they just killing people. unbelievable they have no respect for. life no understand I mean their frontal. cor cortex isn't even beginning to form. yeah they're not you're 25 before you. figure out what the [ __ ] you're even. doing with yourself I remember riding a. train in India with my mom my mom has. like fibromyalgia all these joint issues. and then they like we had to move train. stations all this stuff or like. platforms or whatever and everybody just. rushing and people are like screaming.
trying to get off the plane a train so. many people are getting on people are. like screaming like please just let me. get off and I'm like yo people are going. to die doing this and then we talked to. a family in India and they might have. just been saying a flippantly but they. said the cheapest thing in India is a. man's life they said in Hindi but like. the idea that you just grow up around so. much trauma and whatever that it's it is. what it is we're not when when there's a. billion people and that's what India has. a billion on a land a quarter the size. of America so C size of America three. times the population yeah that's nuts.
dude the point4 of India's population. 1.4 billion is bigger than America. that's nuts so bigger plus a billion. that's nuts yeah and you have to think a. quarter the size of America and three. times the population if you really put. that all together you're just like czy. what yeah it's Madness and I love India. and I love going back and I I also just. understand how privileged I am that I. was raised here and I feel like we as. immigrant kids take that for granted. sometimes isn't interesting how like. some places just I guess it's the older.
ones right like think about high. population places it's China which is. like our oldest civilization yeah China. has thrived economically for. 4,000 years yeah 4,000 years so of. course they have a billion people yeah. true they I mean obviously there's. serious poverty and all sorts of. problems in China but the point is. they've been a unit for 4,000 years so. people have been [ __ ] they've been. [ __ ] for 4,000 years so much that. they had to say you could only have one. kid and then they ruined everything that.
stupid idea they then they ruined. everything so there there's so many more. men than there are women so now they. have like a real problem and then they. they realized that they were going to. have a real problem so they started. changing it and so you could have more. kids I think you can have three now. right is that what China's policy is now. are you not worried about China as a. threat to America for Global dominance I. guess is a I can't think of a better way. to say it but are you worried think they. already won yeah yeah yeah they they've. infiltrated all of our universities they.
they give grant money they they pay for. things they buy up Farmland they've been. buying up Farmland around military bases. they sell America cheap cell phone. towers and internet routers they sell. them cell phone towers at a discounted. rate so that they can have their cell. phone towers around military bases so. they could listen to everything that. everybody [ __ ] says I mean yeah and. then they get caught using like third. party access to like Huawei got kicked. out of America oh that's right I forgot.
about this I was ready to buy a Huawei. phone cuz Huawei at one point in time. have the dopest phones really bro their. phones are so dope their phones are. incredible they had cameras and. batteries that were so much better than. iPhones or anything that was available. in America at one point in time and they. were just making these insane phones and. uh I remember they made a Porsche Design. phone it was a Porsche Design Huawei. phone like this is the craziest F I've. ever seen yeah and uh and then all of a.
sudden they put a ban on them and I'm. like there must be some real [ __ ] going. down with the United States government. yeah we let them get away with a lot. what does it say here Jamie uh there's a. fine one you or there was uh a social. upbringing fee or a social maintenance. fee oh in China if you had more than one. kid and then it says the cwan province. abolished the three child policy making. it completely Lon parents illegally have. his many children as they want the real. problem is the lack of women it's uh the.
different what is the population. difference between men and women in. China I think it's like 60 something per. men yeah that's yeah that's a problem. that's a real problem because the. reality at least in. America um America has a very high level. of men who uh are single and uh have. have no sex yeah it's pretty high I was. one of those for a long time here it is.
there 720 male inhabitants and 689. female that's not too bad that is but. what is that about that's not 60% no. it's a little over 50 I think like 54. probably 53 if I had to guess okay. ballark that's not too bad yeah um. China's total population decreased for. the first time in decades in 2022 and. population decline is expected to. accelerate in the upcoming years and. that's because of the population of. women versus men yeah and then the the.
sorry the Gap in genders could increase. because the older people that didn't. have the one child policy they're going. to start dying off exactly exactly and. so in America like what was there was. some study recently they were talking. about the amount of single men and uh. men who don't have girlfriends and it's. crazy high yeah cuz everybody's got. super high standards yeah yeah uh a. chart that shows the distribution from. China from 1950 to 22 and it seems like. it's almost the same the whole time. interesting even after they had the one.
child policy I don't know exactly they. didn't change it all so it's only 51 to. 48 pretty much the entire time yeah. interesting I yeah I would think it. would continue to go down you're getting. this data from who I don't know from. China you're getting it from China. that's fair also like no we did it. perfect yeah that's fair nobody died was. perfect nobody died from Co we didn't we. didn't create Co you why are you calling. it The China virus [ __ ] RAC yeah yeah. no one's even mad at China for killing a. billion people yeah the idea there's.
this idea that if I criticize a a a. government I'm criticizing the people. like the idea if you criticize Israel. You're anti-semitic it's like guys let's. like go if I criticize the Chinese. government Israeli government I have no. problem with us groups of people y'all. are wonderful government get y'all are. y'all are a little nuts of course yeah. even with America you like if you have. an American flag you're racist shut up. America is all of us you can't let the. corrupt government take your [ __ ]. flag and decide that that's a colonizer. flag that's so stupid that's all of us.
the children of immigrants yes th% and. if I go to Europe and they make fun of. America I don't think they're making fun. of me I don't think they hate Americans. I'm not like how dare you meanwhile. you're probably accurate I'll probably. laugh along with you tell me more [ __ ]. yeah you're probably right what do you. guys think is funny about us yeah. exactly yeah we're killing everyone with. our food sure yes let's go we are. definitely doing that yeah I hate that. become that guy but I've become that guy. well Russia doesn't allow GMO Foods the. they don't allow it you have to. everything has to be organic in Russia I.
hate that but I went to Europe and then. I tasted like the food there and not. that they're the best chefs but the. quality of everything is just so much. more clean and pure and then you taste. the stuff in America and you're like oh. this is they're right this stuff sucks. it's killing us well we just have so. much fast cheap food yeah fast cheap. food that's terrible for you and that. you never get satisfied you want to keep. eating it but like will Sy Vince uh was. telling me years ago he went to London. and like 07 I just moved to New York we. were talking and uh he was like the. chicken in London is actually white in.
America it's called white meat but it's. kind of like yellowish you ever notice. and I'm like I guess and then he goes if. you go to London or or France or. wherever and you eat the chicken it's. purely white because they don't allow. you to [ __ ] with it like they do in. America what are they doing to America. to make it yellow I don't know what. they're doing exactly you're the guy. that researches I'm the guy that just. talks [ __ ] but uh my friend Mike alanz. was talking about this exact thing. unrelated we were just talking he was. like dude if you buy frozen chicken. breast in America and you look at the. ingredients list it's way more than just.
chicken and breast you know what I mean. it's yeah it's like whatever nitrate. whatever preservative whatever it's just. like a whole you can do anything the. preservatives are what really [ __ ] you. you got to imagine what is a. preservative a preservative is something. that discourages bacteria from eating. food so what is it do to the absorption. of the nutrients in your body what does. it do to your gut microbiome what does. it do to all those things that's. something that people don't take into. consideration when you eat something. that has preservatives in it you're.
taking into your body a thing that. discourages living things yeah and your. your food is not supposed to last on a. shelf like if you eat you I'm sure. you've seen those McDonald's. cheeseburgers that people take and they. put them on a shelf later yeah it's just. sitting there ready to be eaten some. dude has one from what was the oldest. one the dude had from the 80s I think I. think so like years just it looks. perfect yeah it's yeah it looks like he. bought it like at noon and it's 600 p.m. yeah it looks like a 6our old.
cheeseburger it doesn't look like a. cheeseburger that's 30 years old and I. hate but that is a thing I think about. if I'm like where do I want to God. willing we have a kid my wife and me. where do I want to raise them I'm like. oh at the foundation the food here is. [ __ ] do we need to leave just to get. better you can get good food here you. just you don't have to do IUN. 1995 that's Bonkers dude that's so crazy. it doesn't look that bad yo it looks. fantastic that's. saved look at that dude he's all happy. with himself look I got it saved oh is.
he eating it is that second EA only eats. that yeah it looks I think he's going to. eat it he's faking it he's faking it. he's not really going to eat it silly he. looks terrible that poor guy look's been. eating McDonald's his whole life yeah. but you know it doesn't look terrible. that hamburger doesn't look bad looks. perfect especially for that old yeah. that's old as [ __ ] that's a 30-year old. Burger That's crazy dude that's crazy a. 30-y old Burger should not a 30-day old. Burger should not last be gone yes I. mean it should be gone like how long. would it last like if rats never ate it.
and you left it in an apartment and then. like Society collapsed and then you know. there's fries and a burger from 96 it. says wow wow that's crazy what is wrong. with these people that they're keeping a. burger yeah that's actually a great. Point yeah like what what kind of people. are these also are they trustworthy how. the [ __ ] that's I was just thinking they. could could be from Monday yeah oh yeah. bags of [ __ ] they probably [ __ ] hoarders. got to be dude got to be colostomy bags.
all the way to the roof have you ever. seen that episode of Hoarders where the. lady was a [ __ ] hoarder no that would. make me vomit for sure it almost made me. vomit I hosted Fear Factor but Gillis. showed it to me it's horrific I don't. want to show it because we've showed it. before but watch [ __ ] hoarders this one. lady was a [ __ ] hoarder I'm going to be. honest I will not watch that but yeah. she was eating the [ __ ] a dude I can't. do it I can't do it yeah I'm getting a. little. oh oh J if you watch it it's it's really.
she wanted to have one last meal in. there yeah she want to have one last. meal when they were about to clean out. the place she's like I've been eating. poop for 20 years he think hurt me oh. God oh my God that's what is her gut. microbiome like probably better than. that guy eating McDonald's that's the. thing son I'm going to throw up just. hearing about it I'm going to throw up. unbelievable oh God it's something about. eating [ __ ] like your body is just like. no no no no no like have you ever done. your mom's house no no okay your mom's. house podcast they do uh a live uh.
pay-per-view show multiple times a year. where they show things on camera they. curate these things and bring comics on. and they do sketches it's really fun. yeah they show you things that you. cannot see any other way you would never. be able to show it on YouTube it would. be illegal you'd go to jail yeah but you. could do it in this thing because. everybody's agree and there people. eating their own [ __ ] [ __ ] into a. plate smearing it on their dick and. jerking. off did he ever send you the thing they. made for you I think I'm not watching it.
just curious if you saw it I heard them. talk about it I think I don't even. remember what it was but yeah they. wasted their energ they paid someone to. make you like a special you know K Cameo. type stuff [ __ ] off I'm not watching. that y [ __ ] on yourself for Rogan is. crazy yeah I'm sure it exists and good. luck I'm not seeing it I don't need to. see that I'm busy it was for you it. could someone yeah I'm I'm sure it was. dude because he knows I throw up yeah. cuz he when me when he had me on the. show I I almost threw up like three or. four times I like like turn away and.
yeah I can't I can't handle it they're. eating pizza and [ __ ] they like they're. so desensitized to it it's like it's. nothing that's weird well they've been. your mom's house has been like. highlighting some of the most [ __ ] up. human beings that they could find on the. internet for quite a long time oh dude. what a misleading title I know my mom's. house is such a comforting place you. know what I mean yeah I don't know why. they came up with your mom's house where. were you I was at your mom's house it's. probably that it's a talking [ __ ] pocket. podcast it's a really good podcast maybe. are both hilarious but but that.
pay-per-view show that they do is rough. yeah yeah yeah yeah it's rough and then. the normal pod is not like that that's. just a pay-per-view yeah well normal pod. they'll show you some [ __ ] up things. though okay okay they'll show you some. [ __ ] up things yeah they talk a lot of. [ __ ] yeah but it's um a crazy thing dude. yeah these subcultures are so funny well. there's so many humans out there that. are out of their [ __ ] minds that they. can gather together and get a community. now where you know if you were a guy who. ate [ __ ] good luck finding your peers. who's your who's your colleagues you hi.
that now there's Reddit and you just. find a guy who's like me too you want to. go on for chant to get the real [ __ ] oh. that's true yeah you want to get the. real [ __ ] yeah but yeah I some. uncensored I tuck a bib in I get a knife. and fork and then. I dude I mean [ __ ] and cutting it up. and scooping it. with choking on it while it's going down. okay yeah you see it's stuck in between. his teeth oh God chewing the [ __ ] dude. please please please please please let's. move on I can't I can't do it I can't do.
it but meanwhile for some guys like oh. anybody upload any new [ __ ] eating. content I'm really excited they get home. and they're pumped for it yeah the. internet is the variability of human. beings is so extreme there's so many. different kinds of people that's one of. the things that you realize when you do. a podcast for sure yeah cuz you talk to. so many different people so many. different conversations and you realize. oh this guy thinks different. oh she's she just has a different. upbringing she she has a way of looking.
at the world that I didn't consider and. then like it adds to your pallet you. know it adds to your understanding of. people because if you just live in a. small town and hang around with the same. people and you don't like to go online. you go to the same bar whatever the [ __ ]. you do you don't know how much people. vary people vary so much man yeah. there's so much variety on what it means. to be a human being yeah that's actually. yeah that's very profound yeah I don't.
you could be some amazing person who is. out there like Jose Andres going to. these crisis areas and feeding people in. Palestine and you know that guy Jose. Andress the chef amazing guy amazing he. owns my favorite restaurant in Vegas. which is bizarre Meats I don't know if. you have ever eaten there before no I. have not bro next time you go to Vegas. yeah that place is insane you it's a. full honey pot cuz when you walk in they. have those Argentine grills you know.
what a Grill Works Grill is it's like. these Argentine grills where they crank. them and they raise and lower over live. hardwood so they have fire with real. hardwood yeah so the coals and the fires. crackling the steaks are searing and. they raise them and lower them depending. upon like what what point in the cook it. is the beginning of the cook you start. off high like way above the the flames. and you slowly lower it down to se it. you walk in the smell oh it's amazing.
it's so good well that guy who who runs. that place is this incredible chef and. he goes he went to Ukraine he was. feeding people in Poland when the. inadian refugees were make when they're. trying to flee Ukraine during the. beginning of the war when Russia invaded. and he's over in Palestine right now. where is he now he's not in is he in the. West. Bank but anyway so this guy goes over. there and and feeds people so you have. this guy who is this incredible Chef.
who's this beautiful human being who's. like really doing something that's. selfless really doing something that's. just real charity feeding people. delicious food cuz he's an incredible. chef and then you have [ __ ] eaters on. your mom's house you have people that. are punching ladies for no reason you. have chaos yeah you have like the wide. spectrum of humans and there's so little. thought and Engineering in society of. trying to figure out a way to mitigate.
all of our problems yeah instead we just. put Band-Aids here and Band-Aids there. and spend more money and hire more. government workers and spend spend spend. and nothing gets fixed yeah no progress. at all if the government was the private. sector like the government was a. business and other people could compete. to be the government if like you know. like you like if if iPhone sucked. Androids would just take over they would. would you know but the reason why. Androids are so good is because iPhones.
are so good and everybody for but if you. had to have a [ __ ] iPhone [ __ ] you'd. have an iPhone one yeah they wouldn't. even they have no reason to innovate. exactly if everybody had to buy an. iPhone you you our our phones would suck. dick they'd be terrible the reason why. they're good is because of competition. and government doesn't have competition. the only competition they have is other. government which is horseshit cuz it's. fake it's all like funded by the same. people you know and it's not even uh. profit driven like I worked at a non.
for-profit not for-profit Organization. for a few months just as I was a comic. trying to make money and I was like oh. no one works hard because there's no. bottom line there's no fear losing your. job government is the same government. employees they just take whatever time. off they want they don't get fired it's. the cushiest job every holiday off that. was super evident during the lockdowns. in Los Angeles because the government. was so flippant about closing people's. business business because they didn't. lose any money yeah my thought was like. listen if you're managing a city how.
about this you want an incentive how. about your income is based entirely on. what the GDP of your city is oh that's. sick entirely so if you go in and. whatever the GDP is let's say the GDP is. you know $1 billion whatever it is I. don't know what it is let's say it's. that if it dips below that you lose. money and if it goes above that you you. probably get a little piece you get a. little taste get a little taste you're. not allowed to make speeches for. $250,000 when you're out of office. it's no.
Hillary nobody wants to hear you talk. for a quarter million that's crazy. that's bribery you guys made deals you. even if it's not a said deal it's an. understanding I also I I don't know if. this is a reason none of these I don't. know if they're reasonable but the idea. of getting reelected I was like at some. point I was like oh they're just they. don't care about making the city better. they just want to get reelected so I'll. go to these special interest groups who. I know vote for me this voting block. that I know will vote for me I'll make. them happy and I'll get reelected if you. just gave a president or whoever won 6.
to 8ye term but one term and then you're. out I think it would help mitigate a lot. of the useless stuff that they do. slightly but you would still get the. vice president taking over afterwards. they would set that person up they would. make sure they maintain power they'd try. to keep the same staff the thing about. Biden right now people like why does. Biden want to run again even if he. doesn't really want to run again his. staff wants him to run again because if. he doesn't run again if he doesn't win. they're all out of jobs so yeah if. you're that lady who's the White House. Press Secretary you're [ __ ] cuz like.
who the hell's going to hire you the. next person is not going to hire you to. be the White House Press Secretary. you're terrible you have to stay there. those jobs job doing something from. White House Press Secretary they're not. going to be like hey Walmart is hiring. greeters there's a lot of them female. admirals those [ __ ] fake female. admirals a lot of those people like that. you see in the White House like the head. of Health whatever the [ __ ] that person. is like that person ain't getting a job. after Biden gets rid of him you think. Trump's going to hire thaty. yeah I just figur there's something out. maybe outside of government but. something they got to keep that job they.
want to keep that job all those people. that are working in the administration. they're working very hard to keep that. job and that's why you see all this. crazy pressure on Trump that's a big. part of it ah big part of it is because. he's going to crack heads so there's a. lot of United people trying to keep him. out yeah I I think I was saying this I. on stage or something but Trump I didn't. have a problem with Trump but the noise. that Trump brought I was like I don't. want it anymore I don't it's just too. much infighting I feel like there's he's. learned there's like a trump 2.0 as of. now where he's like let me just not say.
the race baiting [ __ ] and let me just. keep it here and I think most people. casuals are like I could get on board. with this guy well also the race baiting. [ __ ] is a little bit more effective now. that they let in 30 million people oh. fair enough if you want to talk about. the the fears of immigration now people. see it they see the real consequences I. mean they're letting murderers out with. no bail it's the the whole thing is wild. people getting accused of murder they're. getting arrested and then they let them. right out yeah it this is a wild [ __ ].
time and no one wants to be in law. enforcement no one wants that job yeah. it's a hard job nobody cares about you. they treat you like you're the [ __ ]. enemy nobody respects you I'm taking. your word for all this respect I'm very. blissfully ignorant so I'm just taking. your word for all this right now you're. selling me I don't know well you know. that they defund the police thing. [ __ ] insane and so then there's this. attitude that the police were the. problem yeah and it crazy like one. instance captured by one person in the. camera and it just starts a fire keg.
yeah well look I've been with a uh I was. with Damen lemon black comedian friend. of mine and he got like I was with him. when we got racially profiled he was. going they pulled him over they're like. you're doing 24 searched the car brought. other cops they were searching me like. do you have any drugs I was was I was. like I've never done a drug in my life. and he was like you better be honest. right now this is your chance they sit. us on the curb we go home and then I. look up I'm like they kept saying we're. doing 24 what's the thing with 24 I. looked up just Google 24 miles hour in. New York City the speed limit was 25 so. he was under the speed limit and they.
still pulled us over whole thing now he. had one of these wait a minute wait a. minute wait a minute it pulled him over. for going under the speed there's not a. 20 there's not a 20 Zone apparently it's. 25 from what I Google it was 25 but even. 24 to 20 it's like yeah who's pulling. you over how you know especially if you. have a fast car like you you got to look. down every 5 Seconds yeah exactly and so. the one thing I think they were bothered. by is a fan of his who was a cop gave. him like the New York City vest that you. can like Park wherever you want to and. so he was just parking and they were. upset about that but like 24 and then.
calling backup cars and all that I was. like there's something here racial going. on I've never had this I've had a racist. thing after 9911 maybe one or two but. like that I was like oh I see why this. is and he was just this was not that. unusual for him I was like this is crazy. and he was like what can you do racial. profiling is 100% legit yeah there's no. doubt so I think when you see these. stories fando steel I think is his name. and or the George Floyd or whatever I. think black people are like that I've. been through that and I've been trying. to tell you that happens and y'all don't.
want to listen to me now you're seeing. it 100% happens the storm comes anybody. that denies it happens you're denying. humans you're denying human nature you. know how people are yeah the real root. of that is poverty and crime and gangs. and drugs and no one's doing anything to. stop that yeah they're not doing a. goddamn thing to stop that and hiring. more cops is you know train them better. do do everything you have to do make. sure that the cops are taken care of but. got to fix the problem if you don't fix.
the problem it's just going to keep. happening over and over and over again. yeah we had this guy on a long time ago. that was a uh cop in Baltimore and while. he was a cop in Baltimore and his whole. thing was about understanding the. systemic racism involved in policing and. that he didn't really realize it he he. was pretty honest about it was I was one. of the bad guys until it like kind of. dawned on me what was going on I was the. cop that didn't give a [ __ ] about the. people you know I was a guy would chase. people down and yell at them but then. over time one of the things that they. found they found a police Ledger like.
they found you know like a a report of. crime in the area in the 1970s it was. like some old file yeah and he was going. through this old file like oh my God. it's the same crimes in the same place. but. it's 40 years ago huh like this is. [ __ ] insane this is insane like how. is this possible how is it like 1970 the. same crimes here nuts and then he. realized like oh my God this is like. this is a broken system and then there's.
the whole red lining thing you wouldn't. if you were black you couldn't buy homes. in certain areas like they had systemic. racist practices and then they never did. anything about it then they had horrible. policing and then you know the wire you. got [ __ ] gangs and drugs chaos and he. realized it he was like oh my God like. this is this is a broken system so then. he just started talking going on podcast. cast and talking to people about it what. was it did he have a proposed solution. to fixing the system I mean he's a cop I.
mean I don't know if that's his thing I. mean he probably has some ideas I don't. remember honestly I've talked to too. many people but someone's got to do. something yeah yeah I don't know what. you would do to do it but it would be a. long process if you think about like you. got to go all the way back to Jim Crow. so you go to slavery and then what. happens after slavery well they don't. have slavery anymore but you know what. they do do they lock up black men for. almost nothing and to slaves and they. create things they on theing chain G all.
that [ __ ] is slavery it's just and they. would find ways to Pro look we know. today I've done a ton of podcasts with. Josh Dubin who uh used to work with the. um Innocence Project and now he's got. his own thing with the ike Perot Center. but they they find people that are. wrongfully convicted and help them get. out we had a bunch of those guys come on. the podcast including one guy came on. who actually guilty he was guilty before. and we knew he was guilt but he got 50. years right and then he was talking.
about he turned his life around and this. like a month after he was on the podcast. how long was it after he was on the. podcast two months maybe two months cut. some dude's head off and he was wearing. a blonde wig and homie didn't understand. new HD security cameras like this dude. put a blonde wig on they got Crystal. Clear footage of him with his goatee on. wearing a blonde wig carrying some. dude's head how so old were you in the. room with him how good was he at selling. himself as this reformed person well you.
know what does it mean okay so he didn't. kill anybody in jail and then he's out. now and he's got this new lease on life. and he's out and he you know he's trying. to do something different with his life. when you listen to his explanation of. what happened why he went to jail so he. was a drug dealer right and he had gone. to jail before and some dude owed him. money. some dude some some drug deal and the. guy was like [ __ ] you so he found the. guy and he pistol whipped him and he he.
robbed him okay and he got 50 years for. that right and it was it was he was a. habitual criminal for sure so should he. have gotten 50 years for that well I. don't know I mean it seems like it seems. like when he got. out he was kind of a bad guy but was he. was that because he spent 25 [ __ ]. years in jail cuz he was I think he did. 25 years before they 24 before they let. him out which is an insane amount of. time to be locked up in a prison and.
then expect to acclimate so you're. saying did prison make him much worse. prison make him much worse because it. certainly can with some people but we've. had people on that were innocent and. prison made them amazing I mean. something about like the the constant. studying and the accepting your. situation in life even though you were. innocent and then a lot of those guys. got released and it's crazy to see them. like they lost 20 years of their life. for something that was [ __ ] complete. [ __ ] and then you find out that the. cops and the prosecutors who were.
involved in their case had done that to. many many many people that's another. thing that people need to take into. consideration how [ __ ] dirty some. people involved in Prosecuting and. convicting people are yeah you remember. that guy in Pennsylvania there was a guy. in Pennsylvania who was a judge who went. to jail because it turns out that he was. getting paid to to have kids arrested. and and sentence them into juvenile. centers wow so he was getting kick back. he was getting kicked back from the.
center so the state has to pay for the. population right and then you have. private prisons which is even more. Sinister because then it's not just the. incentive of the people that are working. in the prison and the prison guards. Union which is a real thing prison. guards unions work to stop marijuana. laws from. being yeah cuz they want people to get. arrested so that people go to jail so. they have jobs which is [ __ ] crazy. private money off people being. incarcerated if you make money off a.
being incarcerated now you have an. incentive for incarcerating people just. like pharmaceutical drug companies have. an incentive to give you drugs you might. not even need because they make money. and if you're a private prison you don't. even have to treat them that well cuz. they're prisoners who's really going to. get upset on their behalfs a few people. that were not going to take seriously so. if I don't if their conditions suck it's. prison they're prisoners why do I need. to treat them well nobody cares yeah I. mean there's people that complain but. listen there's some horrific conditions. in prisons right now in this country and.
different prisons have different. conditions and people know it and they. try to get transferred to a prison. that's lighter yeah it's not really a. necessarily Correctional Facility it's. called that but where the aim is not. correcting it's it's crazy yeah it's. crazy when you look at the rest of the. world like how many more people the. United States incarcerates there is a. business capitalism has flaws and one of. the flaws of capitalism is that if you. have something that generates income. from a specific action it's going to. encourage that action it wants more of.
that and then if it's making tremendous. amounts of money like the private prison. complexes you're you're going to be able. to manipulate things you're going to be. able to enfor yeah like you said that's. same thing yeah everybody's got to take. the drug and then every other drug. demonize It Go on television tell people. it's veterinary medicine I mean we saw. it we saw it in real time we saw we saw. the devil we really saw the devil we saw. the real thing yeah and you know and now. they're forced to admit it I mean even. the [ __ ] CDC had to take down some. insane amount of tweets that they were.
talking about Ivor mechon really they. had a they they lost in court they had. to take it down yeah the whole the whole. thing was the FDA or. CDC uh I also don't I'm not sure that. they well they took down a bunch of what. are you thinking what's going through. your brain when CNN is doing that like. in real time when you're looking at you. and being like that's not what I looked. like what are you thinking in that. moment as it's happening like the first. thought my first thought is like this is. this will work for a little bit until I. start talking okay cuz this is not going.
to like first of all there's they didn't. understand that I had way more people. that listen to my podcast than they have. like way more so also multier yeah also. like that's crazy if you think you're. going to make me look yellow like there. the video still on my Instagram you. [ __ ] idiots everybody could see what. I really looked like I was better in 3. days yeah like and you're upset by. because one of the medications that my. [ __ ] doctor prescribed I talked about. a stack of medications that I took I. wasn't on TV saying hey kids you don't.
need to get vaccinated just take ior. mecon no all I said was I got covid I. can't go to the the I was doing shows. with Chappelle that weekend I can't go. cuz I have Co but I feel great I took. this we threw the kitchen sink at it and. I feel better and then I was like. Rogan's taking Veterinary medication and. you were canceling the show which is. what you're supposed to do yeah I. immediately realized like wow this is. how dirty it really is cu it was the. same verbiage everywhere horse Dormer it. was something that was they were saying. it to make you look foolish they weren't. saying a medicine that won the Nobel.
Prize a medicine that's been used in. it's part of the World Health. organization's list of essential. medicines a medicine that's been. prescribed billions of times they. weren't saying any that I'm meding with. this safe one of the safest drug. profiles known they weren't saying that. horsey wormer cuz the cas they were they. were banking on the idea that the Casual. Observer doesn't understand how corrupt. everything is and that they could just. feed them bad information but in the age. of the internet when the government says.
things and everybody knows that it's not. true or when the media says things and. everybody knows that it's not true it. doesn't work forever it works in the. beginning and there's still people out. there that think I took veterinary. medicine there's still people that think. I was an idiot for taking iorc there's. yeah there's a bunch of people that do. they they're surface level readers they. read headlines they watch a a quick clip. on CNN that's their consumption of media. right but most people are not like that. anymore most people have a real keen.
understanding that these people are like. viciously corrupt and coordinated and. when they coordinated in that way it was. such a dumb Checkers move in a chess. game yeah it's just a stupid move you're. playing tic tac toe this is [ __ ]. similar to what people are feeling about. the Trump prosecution like you're trying. to make this guy look bad and it's only. going to make me like him more also. you're doing it in a city that's overrun. with crime where women are getting. punched in the face on the street you're. you're you're you know you've got people. pushing people in front of trains you've.
got so many real criminals that you're. just letting out of jail with no bail. like this is so F we talked about this. on the Pod and I don't again I see what. I will see is like I see more people. just doing heroin on the street which is. crazy you see them doing heroin you see. them and actively shooting up I don't. feel super unsafe there's a couple. blocks in Manhattan lower I guess L like. not like 100s and Below where I'm like I. walk around a lot and I'm like all right. be careful in these blocks but for the.
most part I don't feel it you remember. back in the day when you'd go to the. McDonald's on uh McDougall right by the. cellar mhm you'd walk into there and. you'd be like keep just T your head on a. swivel there's a few blocks in New York. where I feel that way now but largely I. feel okay I don't and again I'm a guy. that's like I'm a mark so let's let's. have your head on a swivel but I don't. feel it as much walking through the city. it is definitely the heroin thing is. wild but it is different right it feels. different I also think maybe I was. privileged to move in the safest time.
New York is probably ever seen like I. moved in ' 08 I would walk home from New. York comedy club which was on like 23rd. and 2nd to my apartment on 50th and 8th. at 1 in the morning barely even think. about it damn you'd walk that far yeah. it's just how long did that take 45. minutes like a 45 minute walk nothing. crazy exercise after yeah yeah a little. exercise you just walk off kind of the. adrenaline you're just whatever actually. it's probably good for going over your. material yeah and then you kind you're. going over your set you're just taking. it all in taking some time it was a. great walk it's peaceful at night it's.
New York is rarely peaceful so it's just. quiet now I don't know if I would do. that but back then it was just like. wasn't even a thought and it was so safe. I I I really probably took for granted. how safe New York was back then and now. I don't think it's as safe but I don't. it's not the 70s or 80s for sure yeah. it's not the 70s I I went there in the. 80s I went there for a karate tournament. in like 19. I had to be like 86 87 somewhere around. then and I remember thinking like this.
place is nuts we went through Time. Square I was like this is nuts I heard. Time Square was just like hookers and. drug like peep shows and [ __ ] just. weirdos yeah and now it's an Eminem. store you ever see that movie um was it. what was the movie with uh Dustin. Hoffman and John Voit I don't know was. it midnight. cowboy it was about like gay hustlers in. in New York y yeah Midnight Cowboy but. that's like Time Square when people. thought of Time Square they thought of. like these nudie movie theaters and peep.
shows and just CD drug dealers weirdos. now it's all like. [ __ ] yeah there it is good [ __ ]. movie man I haven't watched that movie. In Forever Small Time con man yo they. made some artistic movies back then that. I just didn't realize like Ser what's. the movie Sero no it's just serpo. there's a one where uh alucino is a Dog. Day Afternoon maybe where he's robbing. the bank or something and he's trying to. pay for his boyfriend's sex change. operation like that movie being around. back then blew my mind cuz I assume they.
were so conservative that movie would. not be an alucino Le film well that was. actually a true story I didn't know that. but yeah Dog Day Afternoon is based on a. true story I yeah yeah yeah I in my. brain this this was such a puritanical. time in entertainment that a movie even. if it's a true story like this would. never get made well I think you could. make that movie today today for sure but. you again we I you think society's. gotten so much more Progressive and. entertainment has gotten so much more. liberal now this movie makes perfect. sense yeah and it's about trans. acceptance and all this stuff and this.
was just a movie it's not just that now. it's in Vogue you know it's like. Hollywood has no soul they they they're. not like they're not like we're being. more Progressive they just like think. this is oh the wind's going that way. let's go that way everyone should be. trans like South Park said make it a. chick and make it gay yeah absolutely. dude absolutely I yeah I'm I'm so glad. we have as Comics realized we don't need. that validation anymore we got lucky. dude we got lucky because if this thing. that's going on right now well actually.
I think this thing that's going on right. now couldn't be going on right now. without the influence of the internet. right the internet is like created this. mind virus it's sweeping through college. campuses and yeah and also the. universities and the Marxist. philosophies that they've been pushing. in universities because of they they've. all been infiltrated by Russia by the. former Soviet Union and now by China and. Russia together for sure they're. influencing all they they they they they. push the wokest teachers the wokest. professors the nuttiest policies and.
they they're literally doing it to. deteriorate the fabric of American. democracy they they do they have like. plans for it they've thought about like. Yuri bezmenov talked about this in 1984. in I've seen that clip it's crazy crazy. it's crazy when you watch it today like. they were right it's very prophetic he. did it yeah they did it did it th% but. you know the internet came along and. threw gasoline on all those plans and. made it much more chaotic but in doing.
so it also created this other thing. luckily because I think this other thing. that we're doing right now podcast being. completely unregulated and being on even. platforms that are corporate platforms. like YouTube pretty [ __ ] unregulated. no one's in flagrant no one's sitting. down with you guys making sure you don't. say anything wild correct you upload it. and if you say something too wild. they'll flag it or they'll demonetize. you but that's just that could not have. existed yeah in any other time and so in.
the time where you have the most extreme. polar social issues and then you also. have the most freedom of speech yeah and. even though like they're trying to crack. down on it with a lot of these a lot of. I mean I don't know how much you paid. attention to the Twitter files did you. pay attention any that [ __ ] a little bit. little bit [ __ ] government was. literally trying to censor true. information waster and they were. successful they infiltrated the intellig. agencies. infiltrated social Med platform and if.
it wasn't for Elon we wouldn't know we. would not know if it wasn't for Matt. taibe and all those people that like and. Michael shellenberger and Barry Weiss. and all these people who went through. the Twitter files and were like look at. this this is crazy this is crazy you. wouldn't know that the actual government. itself is trying to sculpt the way. people are allowed to disseminate. information and see the world yeah cuz. they've always been able to control. everything and now it's like well we can.
control a little bit here and there BR. see what we can do Tucker Carlson on the. other day and explained to me Watergate. yeah and I was like what like Watergate. there was an intelligence officer who. became a reporter and that's Bob. Woodward oh I didn't know he was an. intelligence officer young guy wow. became a repor like right away first. assignment happin guy right which never. happens never happens yeah the people.
that broke into the office CIA agents. CIA informant CIA employees and. then Gerald Ford was on the warrant. commission and he was the only one that. they would accept for Richard Nixon's. Vice President the other guy speo agnu. they hit him with uh I think it was tax. evasion so he's out mhm they get rid of. him and then they get Nixon in there and. then they get him with this whole. Watergate thing and they get rid of him. and then he was the most apparently he.
was the most popular president in US. history and he won the election by the. largest margin in US history wow and. they got rid of him wow in two years and. it was a complete coup like they they. took him. out yes wow and one of the re well what. Tucker was saying I don't know if this. is true but what Tucker was saying was. that Nixon was a he was very interested. in the Kennedy assassination and he had. said to the head of the CIA I know why. they killed. JFK wow and he said nothing he just.
stared at him yeah apparently it's on. video or it's on video or audio or. whatever it is you could you could so he. was just explaining to me I'd never. known that I I thought Nixon was corrupt. these Intrepid reporters these [ __ ]. go-getters yeah they they busted him and. they they printed this thing and wow we. caught him he's a crook I still tend to. believe that one more I was I'm not. going to research I'll be honest I want. to pretend I'm going to research but you. don't have to research if you just. listen to what Tucker said yeah just.
listen to what he actually said about it. we can play it for you do we have a clip. of that is there a clip of that if you w. if you listen to what he's saying you're. like wait what like I didn't know that I. remember Watching All the President's. Men and being like oh I see how. journalism was important these two guys. just changed the course of global. history bro that might as well be a. Chuck NIS movie yeah. that shit's straight fiction son I'll. break my heart dude my wife got a. masters in journalism I'm like yo what.
an important job this could be oh but it. is an important job no Journal real. journalism is very important and real. Journal journalism is critical for. people to understand yeah but I think a. lot of the real journalism now is. happening independently it's these. people that they publish on substack and. they have a large following because. people like Glen Greenwald people know. that they can trust them they're going. to give you the Straight Dope whether or. not it's uncomfortable for you or not. that's real journalism that's really. important but as soon as you start. working for a massive corporate entity.
like the New York Times or any other one. Washington Post figure out what it is. and that's where the Woodward and. Bernstein that's what they were working. for the Washington yeah yeah do you you. find it the video yeah yeah okay check. this. out that well the New York Times does. that all the time but but bizarre they. have an issue with the government. tapping into your phone they work for. the government are you kidding the New. York Times yeah the New York Times is a.
conduit for the lies of government. that's what it is it's their tool and. they're perfectly aware of that I mean I. used to write for the New York Times as. a freelancer I mean I've been around the. New York Times a lot and there uh yeah. there are a lot of really smart people. there for sure even now I would less so. now but they're still I think smart. people there there are I know some and. they know but they think that that you. know it's worth it because they're. bringing information or I don't know. what they think actually but no they're. they're. tools of power and that's like the one.
thing that you're not allowed to be even. if you think the power is good like. maybe they all support the agenda of the. US government destabilizing the world. and impoverishing their own population. maybe they're on board with. that even if they are they shouldn't do. it because the job of the media the. Press is to keep power in check you are. kind of like the seat belt right you. know you make sure. that things don't go too far so um and.
they're not doing that they're acting as. a willing handmaiden when do you think. that switched I think it's been the case. for a long time I mean if you look at. what happened to Richard Nixon which I. of course did not understand at all um. Richard Nixon was taken out by the FBI. and CIA and um with the help of Bob Bob. Woodward who was a Washington Post. reporter who who had been a naval. intelligence officer working in the. White House working in the Nixon White. House and then he shows up like a year.
later and he's this brand new reporter. he never been a journalist at all he's a. naval Intel officer the famous Bob. Woodward we all. rever and he's at the Washington Post. and somehow he gets the biggest story in. the history of the Washington Post he's. the lead guy in that story well I I. worked in a newspaper I've been in the. news business my whole life that is not. how it works you don't take a kid like. his first day from a totally unrelated. business and put him on the biggest.
story but he was he was that guy and who. is his main source for Watergate oh the. number two guy at the. FBI oh so you have the naval. intelligence officer working with the. FBI official to destroy the president. okay so that's a deep State coup what. else how would you describe that if that. happened in Guatemala what would you say. and yet the way it was framed and the. way that I accepted for decades was oh. this Intrepid reporter fought power no. no no this Intrepid reporter Bob.
Woodward was a tool of power secret. power which is the most threatening kind. to bounce the single most popular. president in American History Richard. Nixon from office before the end of his. term and replace him with who oh Gerald. Ford who sat on the Warren Commission. Now how did Gerald Ford get to be. Richard Nixon's Vice President well. because Carl Albert the Democrat Speaker. of the House told him you must choose. him we will only confirm him when they.
sent the actual elected vice president. away for tax evasion SPO agnu of. Maryland so you have a complete setup. like an ABS Gerald Ford the only. unelected president in American history. actually sat on the Warren Commission. something else that I accepted at face. value until I looked at it I was like. that's completely insane you didn't want. to interview Jack Ruby in your. investigation the Assassin. okay you're fake yeah he was on the. warrant commission and so sorry for the. long story but the point is like that.
that happened in front of all of us but. the way it was framed cloaked the. obvious reality of it the people who. broke into the Watergate office building. from which the name is taken. Watergate was I think it was six of them. or seven of them all but one was a CIA. employee that that's real it's like look. it up on Google so the whole thing. Richard Nixon. was elected by more votes than any. president in American history in the. 1972 election he was the most popular by.
votes which is the only way we can. really measure popularity the most. popular. president in his re-election campaign. and two years later he's gone undone by. a naval Intel officer the number two guy. at the FBI and a bunch of CIA employees. you tell me what that is those are the. facts those are not disputed facts. that's not crackpot wild yeah I I mean I. I need to I need to look into this I. just wild yeah I need to look into it. too he said it I'm taking it at face. value and I'm just telling everybody I'm.
not taking it face value I'm not taking. it at face value cuz he said it that's. why it's been confirmed by other people. to me oh really yeah yeah that's true. it's crazy he didn't lie if he lied he'd. be in real trouble and people be saying. what he's saying is not true bunch of. stories written about it that's fair no. that's actually what happened I uh we. talk about this on flake we had V. ramaswami on the pod and again he's. great I think he's a a very poor. Communicator of his message really yeah.
cuz you he'll talk about the Deep State. and all these things that when if you're. like me who's a casual guy who I think. is a larger percentage of guys that. really want then who really want to do. the research they're like what is this. deep State deep State deep and he'll. talk about it as if it's this like. conspiratorial dark Sinister rub their. hands together kind of and he's like no. basically it's just bureaucracy there's. a lot of unnecessary jobs in the. government I just want to cut the fat. out and we might lose some muscle by. cutting it out but I think these people. are just kind of like parasites.
bureaucrats just unnecessary jobs and. they are controlling things in a way. that is just for self-preservation and. they think they know what's best for us. but they don't and it's kind of arrogant. but it's like well- meaning well-. intended I think they frame it in that. it's best for us he's like really it's. self-preservation yeah but he said I I. think they truly believe and it's kind. of like an elitist thing where they're. like these people don't know what's good. for them we know what's good for them. which is very snob but the intention is. we know what's good for them let's do. this and maybe at the root it it. self-interest but if he called it the. managerial class or bureaucracy instead.
of the deep State I think people would. listen more they'd be more inclined to. be like let's see what this guy has to. say but a president talking about the. Deep state is a tough sell to the large. majority of people it is but it it like. Rings true with Trump people yeah yeah. deep State like that's a a good. statement people like that sound and if. he can get on a platform where he can. really put his thought CU I think his. brain dysfunctions at a high level I. think he thinks this is how we're going. to hear it he's like you I mean like oh. these These people aren't as smart of me. they need to hear deep State that's.
what's going to work well he's also what. is he 38 yeah he's 38 I think it's very. young yes incredibly young you know so. he's learning this this is his first. jaunt right this is his first expedition. into public speaking in front of the. whole world about important issues yeah. he's going to learn from that just like. we were saying there's Trump 2.0 maybe. VI 2.0 in you know 2028 V 2.0 great V. 3.0 that guy's gonna be fantastic also V. uh 2.0 will be in his 40s which is. easier to accept yeah yeah yeah he's got.
a little gray in his hair that's what I. like a little bit of life experience. little life experience I'm 39 I don't. know [ __ ] you know Ian how can a guy. your age be president that's crazy buddy. I could barely run a household what are. we talking about exactly right this. guy's younger than you and he wants to. be the president of the United States. that's insane yeah but I I do think once. he put it like that I was like oh that's. a guy I would vote for I just want to. get of the unnecessary jobs my wife's. both parents work for the government. state government they don't do anything. the thing is if if all that stuff that. Tucker is saying was true in the 1970s.
1972 or 74 they're still doing that. they're going to do it to him it's. probably what they're doing to Trump. yeah there's there's an element of that. folks even if you [ __ ] hate Trump you. should be very concerned about this. stuff because if this sets a precedent. if you can prosecute your political. opponents and Republicans start doing it. you're going to be furious too if if all. of a sudden so he gets out and then. there's a new uh political guy and the. let's let's imagine that Trump wins and. then it's Gavin Newsome and then the.
Trump Administration starts going after. Gavin Newsome and bringing him into. court yeah and you know having. Republican judges run him up on charges. like if that and Republican prosecutors. go after him that's not good that's not. good for the country that's not good for. anybody yeah and you're all going to. feel the same the same people who are in. 2016 like Hillary got the election. stolen because of Russia in 20 were like. shut up Trump supporters you guys are. crazy and it just flips and you guys are. going to feel the exact same way if. whoever you like on the repu on the. Democrat side wins and then they do this.
do people have to understand that almost. every election for the past 20 years has. been disputed there was the John Cary. election that was disputed I remember. Trump uh no sorry sorry Bush and uh car. and Al Gore Gore dangling participles. right is that what it was hanging CH. hanging chats tangling. part word for. that's hilarious it sounds just as dumb. yeah the Hang hanging Chads oh that's.
stupid [ __ ] you know it's crazy I think. they said Bush won Florida by like 500. votes and this the I think about like. domino effect and the domino effect of. that is insane cuz eight years of bush. is what got us eight years of Obama I. think people were so done with bush that. they were like let's give a black guy a. shot and then 8 years of that the white. people that were kind of angry about. Obama getting elected were like [ __ ]. this let's go to the guy that's going to. piss them off the most Trump gets. elected I feel like the domino effect of. those 533 votes is crazy it's also Iraq. and Afghanistan oh yes absolutely yeah.
it's the Invasion the invas the initial. invasion of Afghanistan the in in. initial invasion of Iraq right for sure. absolutely no proof of that whatsoever. just 533 votes Changed History forever. yeah that's one of the wildest ones. that's ever been done the the weapons of. mass destruction that's a wild one yeah. and that no one no one went to jail for. that no one got in trouble for that like. wow yeah how can you do that yeah none. of us questioned imagine I remember in. college one guy being like this isn't.
real and we were all like what are you. talking about he was like this is George. Bush Senor what war did his dad fight. and we're like oh [ __ ] yeah I didn't. think about that right and then you have. George Bush um the one that won in. whatever it was with the dangley Chads. then you have 911 right so he was a. super unpopular president in. September um and he gets 911 happens and. then all a sudden everybody's on his. side and the whole country's United and. then all of a sudden we're invading Iraq.
like a year later like what yeah like. what the [ __ ] is going on and that is I. remember when the election was happening. there were like no wartime president. loses right bush is going to win a. second term and he won and when Bush's. dad was in office you know when the. first initial invasion of Iraq that was. a weird one too because it was. like Iraq invaded Kuwait and then and we. invaded Iraq and then we stopped short. of overthrowing them yeah it was weird I.
like we'll leave you there we're going. to get out of here yeah I was just you. know a term just struck me remember. Patriot missiles I was 5 years old and. we had hear about Patriot missiles and I. was like that's [ __ ] awesome man. Patriot missiles we're such good guys. and they had scuds which sound whack. yeah exactly scud yeah the marketing of. shitty ass missile you got great. marketing though honestly in 1990. Patriot missiles yeah we're going to. kill thousands of innocent people but. patriotism they also they did a lot of. practicing then they they they used. stuff that they never they weren't.
supposed to use and one of the things. they did was use depleted uranium rounds. really which is go right through tanks. they [ __ ] tanks up but the problem with. depleted uranium rounds is it creates. horrific radiation and all these. soldiers were like going through the. wreckage of these things and picking up. pieces of it and bringing it home as. souvenirs and radiation sickness was a. giant Factor they called it Gulf War. syndrome after the first war after. Desert Storm for our soldiers for our.
massive amounts of. miscarriages and child birth defects and. people got sick and they called it Gulf. War syndrome and they were denied they. were denied but they were denying that. it was real until investigative. journalists dug into it and found out. that it was most likely the result of. depleted uranium rounds Jesus Christ man. yeah apparently depleted uranium is the. [ __ ] if you want to like [ __ ] up tanks. and stuff like it just shoots right.
through them use as Weapons because it's. so dense it self ignites at high. temperatures and pressures and because. it becomes sharper as it penetrates. armor plating according to the. international atomic energy agency as. depleted uranium penetrator strikes a. Target its surface temperature increases. dramatically according to Oak Ridge. Associated universities Museum of. radiation and. radioactivity wow yeah that's crazy so. it's like the ultimate round for like.
stopping tanks just goes through them. like butter boom and but the problem is. it's depleted uranium is like insanely. toxic yeah and so Google like whatever. happened with Gulf War syndrome I mean. the article I'm looking at is uh from uh. recent we sent we sent some to Ukraine. recently what does it say oh we sent. some to Ukraine of course we probably. got a bunch land around when they made. it illegal yeah the Pentagon said it. will send depleted uranium. armor-piercing ammunition to Ukraine as. a part of its new assistant package a.
step senior Russian official called a. criminal act here's a look at the. concerns wow I just there's a lot of big. gaps in here so this is now but Google. Gulf War syndrome. cause man The Fallout from just serving. our side War chemical warfare. particularly nerve Gap okay possible. causes of Gulf War syndrome possible. causes include chemical warfare agents.
particularly nerve gas or pry how what's. that word. prostigmine bromide which is given as a. preventive measure to soldiers likely to. be exposed to chemical warfare agents so. that might have [ __ ] them up too. psychological factors such as. post-traumatic stress disorder but what. about Google Gulf War syndrome deet. uranium just do instead of cause just. depleted.
uranium yeah depleted uranium is both a. chemotoxic and radiotoxic element. depleted uranium may be one of the. causes for the so-called Gulf War. Illness proposed effects of depleted. uranium may be especially harmful if. mitochondrial DNA is. damaged did depleted uranium cause Gulf. War syndrome click on on that what does. that. say the illness suffered by soldiers who. took part in the Gulf War Sy was not. caused by inhaling depleted uranium. according to a scientific study instead.
researchers believe golf War syndrome. may be due to soldiers being exposed to. the nerve agent sain so there's probably. a bunch of misinformation that's put out. by official people in regards to that. but I would imagine that would play a. factor if if depleted uranium was used. and I know that a lot of the people one. of the things that they talked about. there was a documentary done on golf War. syndrome and these people that were. actually going through the wreckage of.
Tanks yeah wound up getting it and they. were talking about it that they didn't. know yeah the burn pits that John. Stewart talked about that's a big one. yeah that's a big one he's such a hero. for like actually bringing attention to. that the greatest bur that's [ __ ]. terrifying that they would burn all. their stuff and anybody would be. downwind to that would be breathing in. toxic fumes I have some buddies who. served over there and they would talk. about how horrific it was really man. that's what I'm saying even if you. survive War you come home who knows. you're going to have Gul War syndrome or. also like how little do they give a [ __ ]. about you if they burn toxic [ __ ] and it.
goes down wind and just runs through the. camp being a being a government I think. this that's why there's like some level. of sociopathy involved is you have to be. okay with this Baseline level of. innocent death I think it's just what it. is and that's a crazy thought well. that's the the justification for uh. Israel bombing Palestine yeah right you. have to be This Is War and this is and. it's it's hamas's fault that those. innocent people are there I'm like yo. yeah not our fault that is a crazy way. to think and people go hey this is what.
war is all about like says who yeah so. this the only way to do war is this the. only way that this can actually be done. there's no other way that takes longer. and kills less innocent people no way. this is it the only way you want to swat. a fly you got to swat a fly with a fly. swatter that's it it's also easy to talk. like that when you're on the winning. side of it or you're not anywhere near. it or not you're here yeah yeah yeah. you're here in America yeah I was. watching some video footage that I. thought was legit and it's not and it's. uh I sent it to Shane Gillis and then I.
realized after I sent it to him hey man. I think this is a [ __ ] video game I. think forgot. me um but let me let me show you because. it's so crazy CU it seems so it's a. YouTube but it seems so. realistic I'm stunned by how good video. games are now check this out J I just. sent it to you remember the ghost of. keev we were reading about when Ukraine. and Russia War started [ __ ] video. game video game footage I bought in I. was like this guy's awesome bro this.
looks so good this looks so good I. thought this was like some high. resolution government footage where they. were just showing you what they can do. now what look at this oh yeah that go. full. screen CU this is this looks so dope. look at this oh. [ __ ] but by the way now looking at on a. big screen of my phone it looks like a. video game on my phone though with my. 56-year-old eyes it look it looked now.
look at this look at the [ __ ] ripples. look at this oh yeah yeah that's crazy. it sounds crazy this is incredible that. this is a video game yeah yeah it does. look like a video game on the big screen. this makes me want to play video game. damn it looks good yeah I want to play. this game. yeah Jesus how good are [ __ ] video. games now it's only going to get better. dude that's a real problem man you're. going to live in that in five years 100%.
yeah and you're going to love it yeah. you're going to be. happy but there was some stuff back it. up a little bit Jamie cuz they go back. and forth from black and white they show. the the Rockets headed towards. it uh a little further yeah right there. back it right there watch check this out. look at this when they show like the. whatever sensors that that they're using. in this video game to track missiles. check this out oh this is crazy. dude and then they have a camera on the.
missile. wow no this seems crazy realistic crazy. real this looks like you're looking at. it through yeah look at this [ __ ] wow so. they're going through different filters. different ways of looking at it and and. then later on they show the actual. missiles headed towards it wild look at. that oh yeah see if you get the where. the actual missiles are that's.
crazy that's it back up right there. right there where it's black and white. this is. crazy wow so this is wild [ __ ] man yeah. the fact that this has been being done. through this isn't the transition that I. saw earlier I don't know when it is is. it's a long ass video but it's pretty. incredible but it looks so realistic. yeah we're going to be the Matrix where. you're just plugged into a thing and.
you're just living 100% I just hope my. life is good in that Matrix that's all. well it's going to be better than the. Matrix CU it's not going to be like a. regular life you're going to be on a. dragon you're going to be in [ __ ]. you're going to be living in never. Neverland you're going to be living in. some crazy Narnia world yeah you're. going to be able to do anything you want. what is the game uh Arma 3. three yeah I mean this is brand new. April 21st yeah I don't even know what. that game is I never literally this. video came out yesterday it's [ __ ].
nuts man it just stumbled across my feet. and I thought it was legit yeah for like. 38. seconds son that game is I mean it's. crazy what video games are doing there's. now like I watch the NFL a lot when a. guy scores a touchdown they use like a. 6K camera and you look at that and. you're like oh that looks like a video. game 6K the more crisp reality looks. like the video game now I was watching a. video yesterday on YouTube that was a. review of the Google pixel 8 Pro and.
apparently it has AI in it that can give. a smile for your kid's face oh that's. creepy it's correct cuz he said the guy. was reviewing he said my one kid is. never paying attention he never look. well then get a picture of him not. paying attention you [ __ ] weirdo like. you're you're changing your kid's. personality to be like this Smiley guy. who stares at the camera it's a scary. thought you can manipulate people's. faces so you could swap their face. around I saw some Lex tweeted yesterday. this picture yeah response someone made.
that look he's smiling and it looks wow. looks pretty [ __ ] well have you seen. the new Microsoft software where they. can take a photograph just a photograph. and then with your voice have you say. all kinds of [ __ ] in video and it looks. seamless wow seam I'll send you that. Jamie it looks [ __ ] seamless so you. see it you're like this is incredible. how is this that good it's so [ __ ]. good now it's going to be really fun. here it is I'll send it to you Jamie I.
think I think yeah we're deed to yeah. this is it all my all my time on. listening so instead of doing something. else I just listened listened and. listened because I'm a True Believer. that if you're really bad at something. like listening for example it only shows. you that hey hey you have to practice. listening as much the sound is not syned. crack correctly in this video I think. it's it's going to get better and better.
yeah but this is not how it looked on my. phone my phone it looked different there. there's like a little disconnect here. keep blaming your phone for what's that. keep blaming your phone for these wrong. things yeah no no no he's it's just it's. going from the computer I'm kidding I'm. kidding um but also even if it's not. perfect this is the worst it will ever. be right that's what I always think. about oh it's not not you can tell this. is the worst it will ever be and it will. get exponentially better and better. faster and faster and I think they only. need 30 seconds of you talking that's.
crazy yeah the the Mona is rapping look. at this give me some of. that that's crazy bro that's Mona Lisa. raing crazy and it's it looks pretty. good and you would have not have. imagined this 5 years ago 5 years ago 5. years ago you'd be like what is that how. they that must cost a billion dollars to. do I think 3 years from now you're not. going to be able to tell at all no. especially guys like you or I who have.
had so many hours of us talking yeah. there's so many hours of you talking but. the good thing now then is probably we. can just say whatever we want to and be. like that was. fake crazy hateful stuff but that was. fake I wonder if there'll be a way to. tell I wonder if I think eventually. there won't be I think there's probably. going to be a way to tell for a little. bit but then eventually there won't be. yeah and then we just don't take it that. seriously hopefully well because there's. a lot of other things you could edit on. a phone now like with the Samsung phones. you could delete things from the. background it has AI so like if.
someone's in the background like [ __ ]. that dude just put a circle around them. the guy goes away now he's not in your. picture anymore yeah and then they could. they could literally move the position. that you're in so if you're in the. center of the thing you're like I want. to be behind that park bench they just. put you behind the park bench dude for. my special luckily we got prize picks to. help me pay for the cost and then we did. like an ad read in the middle the. background we filmed it on a green. screen and my guy Kev created that. background in like 30 seconds and you. can't tell the difference it looks like.
maybe slightly different but so many. people are like did he stop the middle. of his taping to do an ad read it looks. so good it just added this stuff into. which probably before your guy got to it. but this has just been added to video. editing software the a some of the AI. stuff we've been talking about it's not. built into the actual editing software. it's like what just happened on screen. was this they changed the small amount. of diamonds into a large amount of. diamonds and it now like works in the. video that they're using wow wow I mean.
like just changing like leading things. right out of there that would take hours. before wow it might take a few people to. do it now it's instantaneous 10 seconds. didn't even know it was supposed to be. there the there's videos now I'm going. to send you this Jamie because this this. video is entirely AI the whole thing. this is a Sci-Fi trailer for a movie. it's entire entirely Ai and you would. never believe it and again what you just. said is only going to get better this is. the worst it's ever been worst it's ever.
going to be yeah it's going to it's. going to get better real quick but this. is this whole trailer that we're going. to watch is entirely generated by AI. there's no actors there's no scenes this. is all done on a. computer this is not a sci-fi movie what. the [ __ ]. dude closeups dude the people look. completely real look at the ocean the. mafy. coast beautiful this is not a drone shot.
from the Amalfi Coast wow look at the. people moving yeah everything looks. real this is not a snippet from the. natural geographic. documentary I mean what the [ __ ] look. at that do look at the dog man that's. crazy do you remember how bad the dogs. looked in I Am Legend the Tigers the. Lions rather do you remember that scene. yeah I do there's a scene when Will.
Smith is going through New York City and. the lions are out and the lion takes out. a deer in front of him and it see if you. can find that it looks so CGI it's so. corny they shouldn't even put it in the. movie It's I I wonder if at the time you. think it looks real and then you go back. and you're like this is the worst no I. remember at the time I was like get the. [ __ ] out of here cuz I I watch a movie. like 10 years later his deer look fake. dope Mustang now look at that Mustang. [ __ ] yeah driving around a Shelby yeah. so watch this he's hanging out here and. he sees this deer and he's about to. shoot this deer because he wants some. food.
yeah. yeah watch this line look how fake this. looks yeah it looks. terrible look at fake looks so bad it. looks so fake it looks almost as fake as. his. marriage almost not quite not quite.
almost some people live in. hell they really do they stay living and. hell. yeah Oh What a Sad case that was man he. meant so much to me as a kid and now. it's just all with one moment where he. couldn't take a joke or she couldn't. take a joke one moment and the whole. guy's reputation is gone now all they. had to do is just laugh it off I know. Wasing GI Jane mild [ __ ] not even.
remotely and this is a it's D it would. have been one thing if she wasn't trying. to be famous and he just brought her. into a joke if she wasn't a celebrity. but he's not making fun of your wife. he's making fun of a celebrity no that. was a badass movie yeah also she's. [ __ ] awesome in that movie She's is. like Navy Seals she's training for in. that movie yeah okay God forbid Beast. yeah God forbid you compare my wife to a. Navy SEAL how dare you that was like a. big thing in the movie where uh Demi. Moore said suck my dick did she really. that's fire dude who in the movie that's. fire yeah she's a beast yeah I would.
love for my wife to comp compar to this. Navy Seal saying suck my dick it's. hilarious also she's still hot in the. movie yeah I remember she still hot bald. she looks great like what's the big deal. yeah Jada still looks great I don't even. know she really got that whatever Alaba. Is that real oh yeah look pretty uniform. what drove me crazy is I saw a video. when we were talking about on flagrant. you're looking at stuff right you're. researching and there was a video of her. being like all I can do is laugh about. it now that's all I can do so then. someone made a joke that's your. opportunity to laugh about it but you. just took it so poorly well she just.
rolled her eyes gave sideways face and. then will whatever's wrong with them. yeah that's what it was like whatever is. dis whatever he's trying to prove to her. whatever chaos is in that relationship. and maybe it is alipa maybe it's like. that's just so sensitive that he. realized [ __ ] I got to go slap. him it's like the hot topic around the. house she's losing her hair I don't know. but either way like what a terrible. decision yeah what a ter and also but. also it showed you how vacant Hollywood.
is that they uh gave him a standing. ovation just moments afterwards insane. insane for playing a guy who there are. abuse allegations around yeah Richard. Williams yeah yeah crazy there's yeah. just what a crazy [ __ ] thing man yeah. just the whole thing was nuts and it. just showed how insane Holly is how. disconnected they are and then it took. the next day or so for the rest of the. world to be like hey what the [ __ ] yeah. and then it all fell apart but those.
dummies were willing to go along with. they like clapping amazing even though. you just smacked the guy and ruined the. Oscars yeah assaulted a guy who's what. half a foot foot shorter than you maybe. and weighs eight pounds yeah Chris. Rock's he's the least intimidating guy. that's ever held a Mike well I have. something to say might [ __ ] him up. really I think so okay fair. enough I don't know I want to find out I. don't know maybe he'll get you but the. point is it's like he's this is not a.
threatening guy and to go up and. physically assault him it's just crazy. but it's just you know people lose their. minds man they lose their minds they. yeah I remember I remember thinking. about this in like 07 I did like a. student film obviously nothing I barely. got paid anything but I remember I went. to go get Chipotle and then the people. freaked out they're like hey if you want. something you just tell us we'll go get. it for you don't need to and I remember. being like Oh I could just ask for. anything I want and you I would get it. and they were like yeah and I was like. that's crazy so imagine actually being. famous imagine being Will Smith no one.
says no to you ever if Will Smith was. like fly to Columbia buy me coffee beans. every day before I shoot they would find. a guy to do that right how do you come. out normal there's no way to be normal. and healthy and all it just I can't see. it well you have to not participate in. that you have to not be that guy you. have to recognize that that's a. dangerous road to go down you lose your. Humanity it's hard though I imagine and. the one good thing about comedy is you. will get humbled I will bomb at some. point eventually and it will remind me. oh yeah yeah I'm not better than anybody.
else Yeah comedy's a different animal if. it's very hard to be that cocky and be a. comedian you get humbled that's one of. the reasons why Fighters are so nice. dude I was yeah I hung out with um Henry. cejudo and Kelvin gastam they came to my. shows in Tempi just the best tank every. Fighter's great Henry cejudo's hilarious. by the way like he's sh he Tak [ __ ] he. has minutes of stand up is actually not. that bad I keping him I was like dude. I've seen more of your stand up than I. have your fights and it was pretty good. uh Kelvin just the nicest guy but yeah.
there's a humility to maybe Chris Rock. got a lot more humble I mean maybe a lot. of people are hoping that happens to me. well Chris Rock woke up for sure because. Chris Rock's standup got better yeah. like everybody that saw him after that. like Tom siguro went to see him when he. did the arena in town he goes bro he was. on fire he goes it was like bring the. pain Chris Rock like he was like. markedly better than he had been before. he goes it was amazing it was amazing. and that's what it was it was like he. realized like [ __ ] those people I was.
trying to get those people to like me I. was trying to do movies and I got. slapped and they applauded that guy. afterwards [ __ ] them yeah he's too good. for that gig anyway that gig sucks and. then he had to try to go do jokes after. he got smacked yeah which was the worst. saying I'm not going to address it I. mean that is the worst when he tried to. like do material after he got smacked. the whole thing was crazy we're not. we're not talking about anything else. Chris I you're my hero we're not talking. about anything else well he didn't know. what to do he probably never would have. imagine that that would have happened.
there was a moment when in the moment. where he goes will said something he. goes boy I could and then he just goes. on and finishes giving the award I know. why he didn't and that was the mature. thing but I wish he had just unloaded. yeah I wish he had just gone it because. I'm positive a thought crossed his mind. and then he decided against it and I. would love to see Chris Rock just I. think the best thing would have been to. do would be to say no one's going to do. anything about that like someone could. just come up here and hit me and you. guys don't do [ __ ] yeah and you want me.
to host your Awards yeah like say. something real in the moment like that. but how that's Monday Morning. Quarterback who the [ __ ] who knows what. and you risk looking like a [ __ ] being. like nobody's going to help me which. true You Will Smith's a big dude you're. not but it still you look like a bigger. [ __ ] getting slapped at me like are you. guys not going to do anything about this. you look like a Karen or whatever well. you kind I mean it's like Jim car said. he should sue Will Smith for like $50. million and I was like yeah that's. you're on board with that this guy's. career is forever altered because of.
that yeah this guy made some of the. greatest comedy specials in the history. of the world and we're going to talk. about the slap right there with that if. not before that but the comedy like his. audiences went way up his ticket sales. went through the roof well that's good. they went through the roof I was talking. to the people that handle this [ __ ] they. were like dude it was crazy everything. was just selling out immediately that's. great at least cuz everybody wanted to. see him and they wanted to see what he. had to say yeah and for a while he. wasn't even talking about it yeah he's. cuz Chris is smart right he's not going.
to just come out with material right. away and start talking about people. going to film it and record it and tell. everybody so he waited he waited until. he really developed the material really. figured out what to say yeah he is my. comedy him and Chappelle and Patrice I. found when I got older but I remember. being kids and being like oh [ __ ] this. is what standup can be and that's a big. reason I I even entered s up in the. first place yeah his first two specials. were insane bigger and Blacker and bring. the pain are two of the best of all time. dude bigger and Blacker coming a year. like a year and a half after bring the.
pain it's unbelievable how good it is to. have come out with all your best stuff. that you've been doing for 12 long as a. comic Probably 12 15 years at that point. bring the pain historic and then a year. and a half you have a special that's. arguably better insane man like I think. about that all the time yeah those are. two of the bangers two like if you go. look at like alltime greatest specials. those two are definitely up there yeah. and to see a guy like that just get. smacked also to see a guy like that. hosting the Oscars like do you imagine.
Sam Kennison or Richard prior hosting. the Oscars like get the [ __ ] out of here. like why you doing that you shouldn't be. doing that anyway I mean that was the. path back then right I think this is a. little bit of Monday morning. quarterbacking where back then it was. Eddie Murphy do stand up be a legend go. do movies be a legend do whatever you. want to after that and Chris was doing. the standup was still insane. I think even Never Scared fantastic you. watch that you're just like wow four. specials that are just like or was it. this third special but all just. historically great and then you got the.
movies and you got that and now you're. just like I do whatever I want he was. right there that was the path but the. thing is they all wanted to be in with. Hollywood everybody wanted a movie or a. television show they all wanted that. Hollywood money because that's the only. path that existed before the internet. exactly yeah yeah this is a very. interesting time for media a very. interesting time for what people consume. yeah I think now we might not have as. much fame or power whatever and that's. fine because we get to kind of do what. we want and that's great I don't know I.
think people are more famous now there's. more guys doing Arenas now than ever. before that's true that's true yeah. stand-ups had a real boom hinchcliff. sold out Mass Square Garden two nights. in a row in an hour I mean kill Tony I. did Kill Tony after I did Rogan the. first time this was I think the last. time I was in atin but I remember. watching him and Tony and I started. around the same time and I'm watching. him and kill Tony and I'm just like holy. [ __ ] you are amazing at this he's the. best ever he's the best host of those. kind of shows ever he's so quick yeah I. took Tucker to kill Tony yeah that.

[Laughter]. hunter that's good that's good dude. amazing yeah amazing and he just takes. the jokes and he's oh he's great he's a. sweetheart of a guy yeah him and jelly. roll jelly roll has been on itoll is my. favorite man I love that guy such a. beautiful human being truly like a.
beautiful soul him and that Mexican OT. like Kindred Spirits to me we had them. both on separately on the Pod and I was. like I said to OT I was like you need to. collab with that guy oh yeah yeah that. Mexican OT and jelly roll would be. amazing yeah and that mexic 's manager. and I are fairly cool Greg get a jelly. roll dude cuz that guy that got Mexican. OT as my intro for my special and I. didn't realize what a pain in the ass. that can be and luckily ot's manager. Greg was like we're going to push we're. going to get this done we're going to. get this done we're going to get this.
done that's the only reason I could get. it cleared from I think umg or whatever. the the label was so yeah but OT was. also like he hit me up afterward like. hey man I love the special I love the. dance thank you for using my song that. way just like so sweet yeah like you did. me the biggest favor ever and then to. thank me is just like what a sweet kid. man yeah he's a dope guy I I like him a. lot I like him a lot also got the Texas. man was yes sir I remember he asked us a. question he said may I show you. something and I was like what a. well-mannered. sweet kid man yeah who sings Gangster.
Rap who well yeah who will probably beat. the [ __ ] out of you like a country. flavor like a country flavor to his. rapping yeah he's very unique yes and. cowboy killer was the first song that I. ever heard Tony played it for me really. he's like you got to hear this you ever. heard of that Mexican OT I'm like no he. played it for me like oh [ __ ] I was like. this is good and then I started. listening to his other stuff they're. fantastic like an artist yes yeah who. just grew up in rap and that's what he. knew and now I think he's going to. expand more and more and more yeah I. love that kid yeah he's great and he's. young too man he's got a massive future.
yeah truly Mega Talent him and jelly. both isn't that a cool thing about doing. the podcast too that you get to meet all. these interesting people yes the Brian. Johnson guy was fascinating and you have. these ideas of these people and then you. sit down and talk with them and you're. like oh that was completely wrong I. guess that's probably most human beings. but you get this idea of a person and. then you talk to them you're like wow. yeah yeah yeah for sure yeah but it's. also like other people get that too like. you're doing a service for other people. and it kind of like informs other people. like hey maybe I have misconceptions.
about people just because I see this. Public Image and I think that's who they. are yeah it's it's actually ties into. what we were saying earlier is about. like letting other people's opinions. affect you I was listening to some. podcast I forget what it's called but. the guy goes most people are very. flippant with their opinions they just. throw it out there oh I hate that guy I. love that guy they don't really think. much and then we take it so seriously. good bad but most people just throw a. thing out there not really being. informed and they don't really care it's. not that big a deal yeah it's just talk. Louis CK told me this once he goes it's. just talk he goes but when it's written.
down it seems like it's more than just. talk but it's like kind of the same way. people have always talked yeah but if. you see it written down or if you see. someone saying it in a. video what did he say about me it's just. talk people talk [ __ ] yeah Lou was. another one I I even said this to him. when he was getting so much love I was. like oh [ __ ] Lou and then we had him. on the Pod he was great he's obviously. so smart but I remember even I told him. that he was like a lot of the the praise. was like overdone and I'm sure some. Comics didn't like me I was like I was. one of them he was like I don't blame.
you and I was like what a cool honest. moment we had where I didn't have to. pretend and yeah it was just I think. that's the one of the best things about. the podcasting is talking to people and. being like Oh I had a pre preconceived. notion of you and you're very different. than what I thought yeah we get informed. the more people we talk to yes the more. people we talk to and the more. conversations we have we get more. informed formed as a human being I think. one of the things that limits people is. the access they have to other. interesting people and I think that's. also one of the things that is really. exciting to people about podcast why.
they like it so much yeah because now. they they can listen to interesting. people talk they can listen to cool. people talk and they kind of get in on. these conversations and they see a real. conversation where it's not planned out. you don't know what you're going to talk. about you're just talking right yeah I. how much prep do you do typically for. interviews cuz sometimes I'll prep for. days and it's just like and and then. sometimes I'm like I think I'm okay. completely depends on the subject matter. yeah you know like if there there's been. people that I've had to read books on.
astrophysics yeah and and and string. theory and try to understand what the. [ __ ] they're talking about or or Ai and. you know it depends you know some people. have read their entire book and I I I. knew they were coming on months in. advance so I prepared for it and then. other people I'm just like I can't wait. to talk to that guy yeah that Mexican OT. zero prep what's up I love your music. you know it was easy I want to just get. to know him in the moment I don't want. to like I heard when you were a child.
like no I wanted to come out like. organically I want to have a real. conversation with a well you know I'm. sure you've heard this Larry King like. just just did no prep for any interview. ever really yeah there's a clip of him. and Seinfeld talking it's so funny where. he clearly doesn't know who Seinfeld is. this is at the the height of Seinfeld's. Fame and Seinfeld is like yeah my show. is going off the you've never watched an. episode it's kind of a big deal and. Larry's like no I didn't I didn't know. and Andrew Schultz will always be like. that's just his excuse to be lazy but I. truly think he's like maybe but he was.
also like I know the best most organic. conversations if I learn all about this. guy right here and my skill set will. allow for the best interview to happen. that way well the worst conversations. are conversations that are canned right. where when someone's talking to you they. don't really care but they're pretending. they care and asking you these things. because they have like bullet points. they want to hit those seem canned they. they seem [ __ ] you're probably. better off doing it the Larry King way. with some stuff but Larry King didn't.
interview theoretical physicists yeah. you know like if you're I need to know. something about what you're talking. about to be able to have my own. questions right I can't because there's. some things that are so nuanced and. they're so complicated that you you you. should have some understanding of them. before you talk about MH but then other. times it's like oh guys's a comic you. know like let's talk that' be easy I. love Comics come let's have let's talk. some [ __ ] how do you write what do you.
do how do you do it you know where' you. start yeah I want to know you know it's. like and having genuine curiosity I. that's a major that's a major key it's. like actually be curious and some people. aren't really curious they really just. want to wait for their turn to talk yeah. they can't wait when's it going to be my. turn to talk you know yeah yeah yeah. yeah yeah but you ruin your own show. that way even by being selfish you're. actually going against yourself you're. not realizing it in the time but you're.
actually poisoning your own show by. being selfish yeah the best thing that. I've learned in life is try to actually. listen especially and the more nervous. you are like even this pod I come on I'm. like just try to listen and respond to. what he's saying in the moment and just. stay in your own body and do that with. everything man it with other people too. like when I'm you know hanging out with. someone just a regular person I'm so. much better at talking to people now. than I was before I did a podcast.
because I'm so much better at not. talking over someone waiting for them to. talk wait trying to get the most out of. what they're trying to say trying to. instead of just listening and then just. me talking trying to figure out what how. did you come to that concl did you. always think that way like when when did. what did you learn how did you learn. this stuff like what what inspired you. to start doing that you know it's like. that that's interesting to me so now. when I have conversations with people. that suck at having conversations like I. can't wait to I got trapped at my.
[ __ ] club by a buddy of mine brought. one of his buddies from high school and. his buddy from high school was drunk and. he's rich and he kept wanting to tell me. about this business that he started it. was you know blah blah blah and I this. and that and I turned it into a 100. million business and this that I'm just. telling you just so you know who I am so. like oh my God he was so bad at talking. it was just the clunkiest shittiest.
braggi and then I eventually go I got to. go yeah I wasn't even talking I was like. you're just talking at me like I don't. care about any of these things he just. needed to impress you that badly yeah he. needed to let me know that he was. successful yeah and I mean within. seconds of meeting him he's telling me. all this stuff it's exhausting so I get. I used to get really irritated at that. stuff and then I think it was Schult. said to me one time cuz this kid at a. diner like started interrupting our. conversation and telling us about his. education and how smart he was and then. I was like so annoyed when he when we. left and Andrew was like yeah but you.
got to feel good about yourself that. that guy for whatever reason felt. insecure around you and felt he needed. to impress you that much right so when. someone knows someone from something. right if they know you and you don't. know them they need to let you know. they're a big deal yeah and insecurity. and it's like I used to take it as. malicious and now I'm like oh that guy. I'm not great EDI of but I try to remind. myself oh that guy is meeting probably. he's probably listened to you thousands. of hours in his head and he wants so. badly for you to like him and he just.
doesn't know how to do that and he. doesn't know hey if I just have a real. conversation with Joe he'll walk away. being like that's a nice guy and then he. just overcompensates with let me impress. him because I did all these things and. show him what I've done and if you. there's like oh okay well I feel bad for. that guy a little bit yeah I'm not great. at it by any stretch but feel bad for. him cuz it sucks to be that guy it has. to do that it doesn't feel good like. there's that never works like no one. ever walks away going that guy's amazing. like you walk out go g you feel like. that guy just [ __ ] all over me you.
know it's really what it's like did you. know that guy's worth $100 million do. you know what else doesn't work that. people still do is uh name dropping ah. does that [ __ ] work at all no no no. that's a rough that's a rough one we. were partying with Leo and you know like. what what we doing my God what yeah. please please don't dude please please. don't do that to me I couldn't care less. I couldn't care less does it work on. anybody it might be one of the least. effective strategies for getting people. to think you're cool name Dr no yeah. it's truly I think it works on like.
people who don't know anyone and they're. like oh this guy knows so and so but. even after about the third name you're. like oh he doesn't know anybody the more. names you name the less those people. like you yeah people turn on you too if. if you're that guy that name drops like. on podcasts or name like people like ew. yeah e if you're the guy who talks over. everybody e yeah I used to do it way. more I used to like early podcast I just. wasn't good at it so you have a thought. in your head you just want to get it out. right not even even if you're not even.
being selfish it's like you just looking. for a chance to and then I took me time. to just look at the big picture of it. and go this is not smart and then that's. when I started using pads too this is. big too because sometimes I have a thing. I'm like oh my God I'm going to forget. this well this gu's on this rant so I. just look over here scribble and write. it down and if I do that I'm good good. yeah you just got to learn how to it's a. skill you're Lear it's a skill like any. other skill yeah you learn how to. negotiate a conversation and get the.
most out of the person I want to I want. that person to shine I want them to the. most interesting thing yeah that they. could say I want to help them say it I. think about that because sometimes I'll. get in my because I don't feel nearly as. confident in podcasting as I do in. standup and then I just remember oh. standup is something I've been doing 17. years now or whatever podcasting I've. been doing five six what like it's going. to take a while also you guys have a. unique setup when there's a lot of folks. there yeah you know there's there's four. of you yeah and then there's a guest. when you got five people talking and no.
one knows when they can chime in when. they should chime in it's hard yeah. being a team players big it's like I. could try to get my thought I try to. remember I could try to get my thought. out now but is that if I'm just going to. be talking with everybody's that going. to add the best podcast or do I just. fall back and wait headphones yeah. headphones are a huge key yeah cuz then. you don't talk over each other M overt. talk is terrible to listen to yeah you. know like Ari when he comes on the. podcast we do protect our Park soon as. he gets drunk takes the headphones off. starts talking over everybody like Ari.
you can't have two separate. conversations this is a podcast millions. of people are going to hear this oh I. need to give Ari his flowers too Jew. ising I it was one of the big like ampe. I looked at that and I was like oh this. guy didn't shop this at a streamer he. just put it online and it looks better. than pretty much anything I've seen on. Netflix it was cool because all the. handles and [ __ ] yeah a gorgeous special. I told him this I was like this is I. just once I saw that I was like this is. the bar now that's what's it's set there. well it was also for me uh it was very.
important to see because Ari had been. telling me these things for decades and. had never figured out a way to do it on. stage and decided to do it all in one. special cuz he was telling me all the. stuff about his upbringing he had a. crazy upbringing man like super. religious went to Israel stayed in Kuts. or whatever the [ __ ] it was and reading. the talmud all day yeah yeah yeah he was. all in and then he's like this is. [ __ ] what am I doing then becomes a. comic which is wild and when I met him.
it was like I guess it was the 90s and. he was like maybe here did AR start. working at the store it might have I. think I was on it might have been Fear. Factor days I don't remember but it was. like he was a young young guy who was. just starting to do standup and then the. more I got to know him I'm like what did. you do yeah you wow I'm like why don't. you talk about that on stage he just. didn't have the chops yeah and so it. took a decade plus two decades before he. developed the chops yeah to be a real.
solid St and I'm glad he did because. then he became a great comic and then he. realize how to do that material as a. comic yeah which was perfect yeah I. think that's one thing I used to try to. push myself to do this material that was. person like uh I I hope I can make my. dad's story into a bit or something to. end a special with or whatever but now I. realize I don't need to push I wasn't. good enough to do that back then and now. as I'm getting better I think I can dig. deeper be more honest be more personal. tell more personal things or whatever. and then I'm ready now I feel like yeah.
you could figure out a way to make it. good yes yeah it's a tricky job man it's. a tricky [ __ ] especially like. somewhat potentially painful things that. you're trying to make funny I remember I. would see some Comics come up and be. just so awkward to say all these. horrible things they went through and. they'd be like I don't care if y'all. left this is therapy for me and I know. you're just saying that cuz you're. nervous cuz you're not doing well but. you got to understand how fundamentally. wrong this is not therapy we're not here. to help you through this go to therapy. make it funny and then come bring it to.
us I remember uh there was some dispute. at just for laughs and some comic yelled. at some other comic that if you're not. using your comedy to promote social. justice you can go [ __ ] yourself oh. Jesus Christ that is hilar that's a. person that can't possibly be good. there's no way you're good you must be. terrible on stage your your comedy must. be awful I think you also that's. probably a young comic Probably I know I. had these ideas of what funny was and I. remember watching I think it was called. talking funny or funny people or. whatever with uh Ricky Jes Chris Rock. Louis CK and Jerry Seinfeld and then. there's a moment where Ricky who's the.
youngest comic in the room is talking. about these jokes and like I don't want. to do those jokes because those jokes. are easy I want to impress guys like you. and then Jerry goes you know what would. impress me leave that joke in don't take. that joke out leave that stupid joke in. I'm impressed just kill I I like stupid. jokes if stupid joke like a tell a. tell's brilliant and silly at the same. timeing it's these aren't like super. complicated jokes you're like oh my God. this gu's changing the world th% but.
amazing th% I just want to laugh just. make us laugh that's your job just make. us and then if you can make us laugh on. your terms the way you want to God bless. that's a better level sure sure but if. shuing laughs just because I I don't. want to no [ __ ] that get the only doing. that cuz you can't get laughs yeah yeah. that's it anybody was like trying to. educate these people bro you're 28 years. old you live in a duplex shut the [ __ ]. up shut the [ __ ] up you're not going to. fix the world I know you think you're. gonna but also like that was a thing.
that hicks brought to Comedy that was. like a real problem in the 90s yeah I. hated Hicks for a long time because of. this I still won't listen to Hicks just. cuz the ripple effect of Bill Hicks is. like buddy you are you created a monster. he did create a monster there were so. many [ __ ] people that wanted to be. Hicks yeah it was so much so that uh the. punchline in Atlanta used to have a. green room and the back of the Green. Room people would WR in the wall and it. said quit trying to be Hicks oh thank. God and when they tore that down Jamie. kept saying he was going to Jamie the. owner kept saying he was going to get me. that [ __ ] because they they took the.
wood down I'm like get me that PL that. says don't be Hicks just quit trying to. be Hicks let me put that up here yeah. because I remember that like ah there's. so many guys so many guys who wanted to. be that guy you know cuz he was he just. left you feeling like even even Richard. Jenny who's like one of the alltime. greats I remember Richard Jenny saw. Hicks and he was like God I watched him. I was like I got to do more stuff like. that yeah but you don't yeah you really. don't I actually remember though uh God.
who's the comic his name is escaping me. he's a clean comic he's massive super. funny Brian Regan he was saying uh I he. was on somebody else's podcast and that. guy was saying about Brian rean I. remember Hicks is really dying to go see. you at X Y and Z so Hicks loves Brian. rean yeah so you don't need to be Hicks. just be funny and Hicks will be looking. down at you being like that guy's funny. well Hicks really was that guy yeah like. Hicks was talking about stuff in the. 990s before the internet right so he's. talking about all these really esoteric. subjects and interesting things because.
he was just reading a lot yeah so it was. like real he really understood what he. was talking about yeah that's actually. that guy if you're not that guy don't be. that guy it's just be who you are but. people like that like you know. occasionally some of them will come. along and they influence everybody you. know Kennison for sure did that they. come along they're so mind-blowing. you're like Jesus Christ you know Joey. Di has influenced everybody around him. cuz everybody like he was he was so. quick with his punch Lin a setup punch.
line was so fast rapid fire he got to it. so quick like God damn I got to pick up. my speed I got to pick up my game yeah. yeah is that what you picked up from him. I learned a lot from Joey for sure I. learned a lot from also having to follow. him because I would bring Joey on the. road with him because I couldn't follow. him so I was like this is the best way. to figure out how to follow this gu. bring him with me everywhere he was. [ __ ] killing he was killing and also. I wanted to laugh you know and when. you're around Joey it's just a party. he's unbelievable he's awesome best yeah. we had him on the Pod once and I was. like this guy is awesome he was just.
here for 420 weekend it was [ __ ]. glorious it was amazing he's on fire cuz. he comes to the club and he gets so much. love that he's so free and loose oh yeah. the the moments when he went on stage it. was incredible when because the audience. didn't know he was there unless they had. P paid attention to the Instagram so. Friday night they definitely didn't know. he was there when I do those uh Joe. Rogan and Friends shows yeah I don't let. anybody know so Schultz Bop in Shane. Gillis shows up you know gaffan shows up. no one knows who's going to be there and. they go up there and everybody's like.
this is crazy you know that's what's fun. about it and so when Joey goes up they. didn't know who it was going to be and. then they Joey Diaz. everybody is he thinking about moving. here or no yeah we're working on him. that's great we're working on him we'll. get him he's going to love it he's just. too happy here and the problem with New. Jersey is it's like there's too much. Road [ __ ] hacky [ __ ] comedy that. yeah yeah yeah I mean there's good. comics in New Jersey for sure there's. great Comics Voss lives in Jersey Bonnie. McFarland lives in Jersey there there's.
great comics in New Jersey no doubt. about it but there's also a lot of. Scrubs and a lot of like just real just. dumb comedy just dumb I I was at the. mothership yesterday and I'm watching. this open mic and just seeing all the. comics first of all I remembered I don't. miss open mics at all I just remembered. that pain sitting there waiting. but I was thinking I was like. yo joe [ __ ] did it man he made this I. was thinking if I'm a young comic Austin. wasn't even a place I was thinking of in.
2007 or eight or whatever when I started. now La is not even a place I'm thinking. of it's either Austin or New York and. Austin is easier to survive it's better. weather it's nicer people I think I. would come to Austin is also a more. supportive environment because the. environment especially at our club is. specifically designed to Foster Talent. it's designed that way there's two. nights of open might nights it's. designed kill Tony's there it's designed. for that right right right so from the. ground up yeah you have a chance to go.
you have a chance as a person who's just. getting on stage the first time ever to. go up in the best club in the world yeah. and you have a chance to go and work the. same stage that Joey Diaz goes up in. that Dave Chappelle went up in and you. get to go into that the little boy that. that room is amazing yeah that is a. tight little room. and you could get that itch little boy. felt like the the belly room it's like. the belly room and the O had a baby yeah. and the the the fat man is like the main.
room and the O had a baby okay I see. that's what it is it's a perfect place. yeah I I mean I was hyped I I've always. said Comedy Works is the best club in. the country in Denver still love it I. just got back from there this weekend I. am excited to kill Tony and then I'm. excited to see this is my first time in. Austin since you built the club so I'm. excited to see the whole thing it's a. wild how many days you're in town uh how. many days you want me to be in town you. know I mean you decide come by tomorrow. do a set tomorrow night absolutely done. I got a show tomorrow at 7 o'clock but. we got um I mean we have bigname.
Headliners are coming in every weekend. which is great so the local guys get to. see the people that are there and the. all the door staff they're all Comics. they audition with their act you know so. it's like a development process like the. store was but more organized and not as. chaotic and run by comedian yes and run. by a comedian that doesn't have business. partners I don't have anybody else and. what to do you're you're you don't rely. on that for income exact which is like. it's a it's a Mitzvah what you're doing.
it had to have happened the way it. happened yeah I mean it had to there had. to be this crazy moment in history where. the whole country gets shut down except. Texas and so we move here and all of a. sudden I'm doing shows with Chappelle. we're doing these outdoor shows. everybody's getting tested and then we. started doing indoor shows and then we. started doing industry I'm like I got to. I got to open up a. club I'm like we need a hangout we need. we had the Vulcan which is a great place. vulcan's a great Club vulcan's awesome I. did the Vulcan right after you came on.
flagrant the next day that was the last. time I was in Austin it's a great Club. vulcan's great it's a great Club to. killing too yeah but I was like this. isn't ours we you know they have like. techno music there and EDM some nights. and you know it's like I I want we need. to set something up and I had that. Spotify money and I'm like listen if. anybody going to do it it's got to be me. and if any time is there is a time to do. it it's now because people were willing. to move so that they could go on stage. yeah because La shut everything down for. so long yeah that so many Comics like.
you guys are doing shows and then guys. like Derek and Assan they came out there. early Brian Simpson he came out there. early Derek Poston is so goddamn funny. he's getting so good dude he's getting. so good I saw him before Mothership cuz. he I saw him host Andrew show he's a. good host he's a good host and I was. like oh them on the road and then I. thought you know one thing I try to do. to pay forward how shels help me is once. I get to know you and I think I know how. you're funny I'm like hey well let's. watch your set if you want and I'll see. if I can give you some advice I'm not.
the end all Beall but I'll try to help. you how I can so I had Derrik feature. one show and then I watched the set and. I was like buddy I barely got I got some. tags for you but I don't see like. structurally oh you could do this you. could do XYZ it's you're so [ __ ]. funny unbelievable well the level of the. guys coming up is very high and there's. also in Austin there's so many places to. perform just on the Block where the. mothership is so you have the mothership. right down the street you have the. Sunset Strip Club you have Brian redband.
club right over there you have the creek. in the cave right over there you have. the Vulcan you got the Vita room there's. some place called The Green Room then. you have Cap City you have a bunch of. different clubs on the east side there's. like hipster clubs and lesbian shows and. there's like [ __ ] comedies everywhere. dude you haven't made this a comedy Hub. it's it's a marvelous thing like an. insane thing that you've done it's. pretty wild it's insane to move La over. to Austin is crazy make it better yeah. make it better make it make it better. and make it completely disconnected from.
all those people that'll poison your act. with their [ __ ] Hollywood [ __ ]. actually I said LA to be honest I meant. New York this is what I heard New York. was when I went to New York it wasn't. friendly but it was you'd have to pay to. go to most open mics $5 and the free. open mics this is when the alt scene was. kind of running things so if you talked. about anything that wasn't like a video. game or anime they would judge the [ __ ]. out of it and be brutal there was no. support built in so you've taken the. best parts of New York and brought it to. Austin and again a city that's much. cheaper and much less harsh being poor.
in New York is rough being poor in. Austin it's not that bad it's not bad. you can get around traffic's not bad at. all it's very light it's very easy and. the people are cool and the the traffic. the clubs is all this little like you. said all this little radius La if I want. to hit three spots I'm driving 3 four. hours well you can go to The Improv you. can go to the LA Factory if it's not. that if you're doing the store improv if. you're in at all three but when I was I. started open mics you're driving all. over the place yeah it's all spread out.
yeah if you're doing open mics you're. [ __ ] there's not a lot of open mics in. LA but there's a I mean there's a good. amount but not in comparison to the. amount of comics yeah there's a lot of. comics and a lot of wannabe com and. there's also in La you have those people. that really want to be actors and they. think that like this is their platform. get yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. yeah anyway brother great to have you on. tell everybody about your special where. they can get your second Special Second. special is gaset uh it's on YouTube. right now uh I'm very proud of it I.
