All Rise | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #358

today's episode is brought to you by. liquid death. all right. all rise. that's what they say sometime you know. if i was. at a. working at a courthouse i would probably. say that a lot. all rise. somebody says it i don't know who. or if i worked at a bakery and i was. like. in there by myself all night. maybe i'd dress up in like a judge's the.

judge that's who says it. so if i worked at a bakery maybe i would. dress up in like a judge's outfit. because i know a girl named gwendolyn. and she works at a bakery and uh. she's in there by herself. if you want to kill somebody dude which. you shouldn't. obviously but if you wanted to a baker. is. there get there at like 2 30 or three. they in there bacon.

wearing aprons sexy. you know. but anyway i don't condone any of that. kind of behavior but what i'm saying is. if you if you were a. a baker you could put on a judge's. outfit. and get right up by the oven by the. glass. and be like all rise. that's what i would do i mean i'd be so. damn bored you're in there all night. just looking at bread bro just breading.

around. doing that french bread where they braid. the bread. whatever that is do we had a handicap. brother boss growing up this dude. i don't remember what his name was i. don't even know he might not have had a. name. and. they would um. and his legs something he didn't have. any bones or in his legs or whatever. and they would braid his legs around. each other they had you know he was. paraplegic and his legs were a corn road.

and they still had some dope ass. sneakers on the end of them. so. diversity babe you feel me. diversity. let's get into it. all right. i'm just sitting on your front porch. wondering how could i be so far from my. home come on.

welcome back. and my mind is somewhere else but when i. find it i'll patch up where it's been. blown. now i'm just floating on the breeze and. i feel i'm falling like these leaves. [Music].

in my bones and my bones baby but it's. gonna take. a little time. for me to set that parking brake. and let myself go. light on me. i'll sit and tell you a story.

[Music]. [Music]. all right. i'm upstairs. if you need me baby um. man that's one thing that's real magical. about um.

just the greatest excuse ever on earth. your wife needs you somebody needs you a. kid. your wife's kid your kid also. and you're like i'm upstairs. okay. dad i need i'm upstairs. the ultimate get out of jail free card. if they ever even put me on trial. speaking of judges and rising and all of. that.

if they ever put me on trial they'd be. like. did you do it i'd be like. i was. upstairs guys okay. have you ever been upstairs okay i was. upstairs. i'm upstairs. they're like sir were you at the scene. of the crime we find your footprints you. you found what i was uh. upstairs. you should have an upstairs on your. house even. in case you ever and somebody dies at. your house.

okay. and it's probably gonna be either. your wife or husband if you have a gay. husband. and. because there's not a lot you know. that's really if somebody kills somebody. and i'm not saying to do any of this. but if somebody kills somebody that's. who they kill they kill the. you know the person that. they used to do sex with. usually. and um. anyway. but you had you got to have the upstairs.

because otherwise there's no you know. where i was downstairs then. bro you qualify you really. you right you're right there. you localated around the crime baby. you know that. um what's going on not much. pretty usual you know. um. i was in a la jolla this weekend. which means i don't even know what it.

means. hoyas the hoyas. i don't know maybe george people that. people that went to georgetown or. something i don't know the hoyas. yeah i was in the hoyas and um. first of all my favorite comedy club. there uh trying to get the new. tour the new material on track so many. people came out man and it was fun dude. and it was fun just learning like the.

first show it just it kind of built over. the weekend so when the first show was a. little bit. i didn't know the order i wanted some of. the jokes to be in. some of the stories um. you know i'm trying to remember and i'm. trying to record and write down the. notes after um. and it matters my mood too if my mood is. a certain type of way then. i'm not going to do as well you know my. i want to be in a good mood so my. material comes off in a good mood.

you know that's paramount or tantamount. i don't know which one it is it's. paramount or tantamount. tantamount. tantamount sounds like she's a little. thick you know what i'm saying but. paramount sounds like she. she's definitely she went to juvie for. sure. she went to juvia and she definitely. dated a couple brothers you know what. i'm saying gang gang boy.

beige power son. um. but anyway so. yeah it was dude it was but it's so much. fun man it's just such a fun spot to. perform. because the room is so simple. it's a simple room. and uh. and. there's no like they're not selling a. bunch of riblets or whatever a bunch of. you know grilling up a [ __ ] lunchable. or trying to. you know get you over on some [ __ ]. they got two items in there.

three items actually. drinks. popcorn comedy that's it. and usually they have a piano up front. the guy i don't think he died i thought. he died but they said he didn't die but. i'm like if he's not dead dude then. where is he because it's an older guy. um. and. luis is his name. beautiful guy too.

he's got a wife as. or as he had a wife i don't know what's. going on with him but. and she's a comedian as well and she's. got some bangers on her she got them. them front yams baby you know what i'm. saying them. [Music]. all right. all right wildlife frickin stare right. through the glass at them bad boys you. know i'm hoping for sure dude. bro that thing you'll be upstairs if you. stand on them you know but she. and anyway i don't even know what i'm.

saying but um. [Music]. but he plays the piano usually up there. and what i like about that as opposed to. a lot of clubs they're pumping in like. uh. you know freddie mercury or um. who's that other guy that's like freddie. mercury. um. jerry somebody. the little guy he's like.

uh. and the song might not have been theirs. you know you want it. what's that song um [ __ ] i don't know. anyway dude they play the piano in there. bruno mar. they play the piano in there. that's what i wrote not freddie mercury. i was thinking the you know. i went mercury. mars that's where i was trying to get. mars bruno mar. zu bruno mars. and he uh anyway a lot of clubs pumped.

that in there but at the la jolla comedy. store they just they play the piano. so when you sit down as a. as you go there as a clientele. it feels like you're there for a piece. of art you hear piano you're like oh. this is a. this has an artistic feel to it so. i really like that. i really like that. um. and man i just so much love man out of. that area out of san diego.

and the city dude i know san diego. san diego dude without diego i guess it. means you know. and i don't know if that's if he's a. missing person or what. that whole deal what happened you know. he's basically probably. he's like the male natalie holloway of. southern california i guess or whatever. but. um. but san diego. i don't know if there's a better city.

[Music]. nothing's gonna change my world except. all these cash and prizes [ __ ] i'll. hard scoff your mother son. he did every hype thing you could do at. once um. but suddenly boom.

and he's also in i believe. you know i don't know that much about. ufc and about fighting but um. but i love it. it's become my favorite sport over the. pandemic. and um. and he's in the 155. weight class. could it get any crazier in there. could it get any crazier. so just the people he could be fighting. down the line i mean.

oh it's so hype. it's so hype man. what else we got you guys had some. responses too to um. to some of the chatter from last week. about the. uh. the. some of the stuff i talked about about. the vaccine and about the pledge of. allegiance teacher. and i appreciate those. and i'm going to get to those in just a. few minutes. um. [Music]. i want to tell oh this is what else. happened. joe rogan had coveted.

and he took uh ivermectin. his methods included taking ivermectin. a deworming veterinary drug. if you believe in veterinary. that is formulated for using cows and. horses. um. [Music]. while a version of the drug is sometime. prescribed to people for head lice or. skin condition. now look i have had half i've had head. lice i probably had head lice.

i would say 13 times maybe 14 times. maybe 13 maybe a baker's dozen all right. dude i'm upstair you upstairs when you. have headlights dude you're upstairs all. day. you're itching the top floor dog you. know. so. um. [Music]. so yeah i noticed a lot of articles. people trashing and what does he do you. know this guy what is an idiot you know. he's taking these taking this. why would he do you know.

dude. i've always found i i think it's brave. to try something. whatever happened to that thing hey. maybe this guy found it. maybe this guy this worked for him. i don't think he's out there saying it's. going to work for everybody. um. but also the people writing a lot of. articles trashing him about it. dude he's such he he's such your daddy.

he's your daddy because you're only. writing that article to get the links to. get the links to get the um. people to link on it so you can get your. money get you a little fifty dollar. seventy dollar. and that's. daddy joe. making you money boy keeping you're in. business. he's out there trying different things. and joe rogan's not going to try. something that's dumb. have you seen joe rogan. if there's if there's if there's there's.

many things he cares about one of them. is his physical health. dude ivor the first time i ever uh even. met him he was coming out of a damn. a portal. he'd been in i swear to god he'd been in. some type of portal to another sphere. something where. you know they put alien uh. fat in your limbs or something i don't. know i mean just the guy's always trying. something new. um.

so i think this is brave i think it's. brave of him to try it and especially if. it worked for him he got it for a couple. days he got sick. and uh and he got better i think he beat. it in three days. and that scent look. this is one of the. and this isn't me uh pat and joe rogan. on the back. you know. he's not my daddy. you know. um. he's my uncle i think. you know uncle joey's my uncle.

uh uncle joe uncle tom. segura. um not the. whatever the other guy did that i think. was kind of he's somebody did something. bad but um. uncle burt uncle uh. uh. sebastian. i mean those guys are guys that i would. go to for suggestions i know if i needed. some help. uh. they would reply uncle jocko you know. different guys uncle poirier.

but joe rogan's a smart guy that cares. about his health. so i just don't i don't think like. oh and it says what does it say the fda. is urging people to stop taking the drug. to fight covet 19. but my thing about the fda is and look. i'm an idiot. okay. i'm just thinking out loud. but is the fda compromised that's what i. worry a lot about the fda.

because i bought some of their meat. you know. and it's good but it's not all. it's not all 90 lean that's for sure. and is the fda compromised dude. everything's compromised i remember our. school board was compromised growing up. do we had to drink bad milk for a year. we were drinking sour milk because the. guy there was banging. the um. the. uh what was that milk company buzz.

called. oh. yeah the guy was banging the board one. of the boarding chicks the. superintendent or whatever. so we're out there dude every day at. lunch just sipping man. this [ __ ] was on the cusp bro i'll tell. you this if you got that [ __ ] at about. 11. it was still digestible if you got that. little milk bag that lunch bag about 11. 40. that [ __ ] just it tasted like you were. it tasted like i had a little pickle. back shot at the at the bottom of the.

bag baby. so. so i just wonder how compromised is it. and i'm kind of a skeptic i am skeptical. you know. i am skeptical of a uh. of an of of of everything these days a. lot of things are compromised. that's money man that's big business. so. i don't know man but i think the fact. that. if joe rogan tries it.

he's a brave dude he's tries out he's. tried a lot of things that have helped a. lot of people. you know he really is kind of the. he's a guinea pig. in a lot of ways and. um. and. i think that's brave you know he. encourages me to want to try different. things to see if they work for me. now this could be risky i don't know. everything i'm not telling people to go. try ivermectin i don't know that much. about it.

but. there's been a lot of people who have. said. there's been a lot of talk about it. helping people so. uh i don't know i think he's brave. enough to do it i would like to see that. article more hey here's a guy who's. brave enough who's got a lot to re i. mean he's got a wonderful life. you know he's got a comfortable neat. life where he's. doing you know he's doing interesting. things all the time but his health he. cares about it i know he does. the first time i met him he was coming. out of a medical clinic in the elevator.

and i was just like. you know i just met him he was getting. he's doing something doing stem cells. you've got some new stem cell bubble gum. or something. you know i mean he's always. so anyway i think it's brave man i think. it's interesting and brave and maybe. i'll get to talk to him about it. firsthand one day um. what else. what else do we have. you know let's get into some of you.

guys's calls man we're not going to make. this a super long episode today and. that's okay going to take it easy. um. [Music]. uh and then i'll talk about going over. to jocko's too but. let me put the headphones on yeah it was. fun this weekend mike clevenger came out. uh and um. who well mr frazier mr musgrove. the some of the uh. dress players came and watched the show.

the flag and i just wanted to say that. yeah thank you for calling alexis yep. and that was in response yeah uh. to what what we talked about last week. the teacher who had. wasn't real sure about the flag stuff. and we'll put that video in uh right. here okay so during third period we have. announcements and they do the pledge of. allegiance i always tell my class. stand if you feel like it don't stand if. you feel like it say the words if you. want don't have to say the words so my. class decided to stand but not say the.

words totally fine except for the fact. that my room does not have a flag it. used to be there but i took it down. during covid. because it made me uncomfortable and um. i packed it away and i don't know where. and i haven't found it yet. all right onward alexis. you know my family came here from cuba. and uh they were escaping a brutal. dictatorship and a brutal government and.

i still have family there so it hurts to. see when americans here can appreciate. the freedoms we have because you know. i have plenty of family members back in. cuba would be willing to trade places. with her seeing as they can't post. freely online. they can't speak their minds and they're. starving it's unfortunate to see but uh. i just wanted to share my thoughts so. thanks. yeah it's interesting you know it's.

interesting how. our perspectives can be so different. um. [Music]. yeah i thought i thought about this more. afterwards you know this teacher said. that she felt like the american flag. caused conflict in her class and. and uh. and i remember when i was a kid we. didn't love america you know we were. just in the country you know. i think everybody loved the olympics. when it came on we were all on the same.

squad the players were all excited to be. playing for the country. um it felt like there was more unity. but i remember we had a teacher this. lady bar ballinger. and barb ballinger was all about. the pledge of allegiance and. dang. red white and blue just the freedoms you. know she taught us all about uh. just um america the history oh the class. was a uh history of america.

so we're just learning about all the. articles and the. um declaration just all that kind of. stuff you know just high school level. stuff. but she is the one. because if anyone spoke ill about. america. she put her foot down. so i remember that it was she used her. her space in our life as a leader as a. or as a teacher. because not all teachers are leaders and. they're not all seen that way especially.

when you're a child. but she chose to say well i'm going to. use this as a way to see if i can bring. these kids to all have some of the same. appreciation that i have. so i found that that was interesting. whereas this teacher seemed to just have. a kind of a different idea. um. you know she was just i don't know i. just felt like she like that teacher had. made it more about her uh. but then also we live in a country yes.

where people have the different freedoms. to think what to feed think and feel and. say whatever you want i mean there's. definitely way too many voices out there. these days. but. that's easy for me to say as i publicly. share my voice. it's so it's not hypocritical if since i. understand it i feel like it takes some. of the hypocrisy out of it but. um.

but i don't know i think it's. interesting it's like because i feel. like if we can all find ways to come. together then it's more of a healing and. it's more of a unified. space that we're. working from. so if i am in a position of. of. if i can use if i'm a teacher or. something i can use my platform. to have my students say. and maybe they are creating their. discussion the discussion more in that. ladies class i don't know. i think she lost her job or they put her.

on leave of absence. so but she'll still get paid probably. and that's pretty lucky. i bet yeah in cuba that's not the option. did i remember going to cuba. i went to your country alexis one time. and. when i was a student we went over there. and fidel castro came and spoke to us he. came and spoke to our group we were. students estudiantes. and. [Music].

and it was just like three or four hours. he spoke for three or four hours dude. he's basically like the spanish joe. rogan bro but only he was talking you. didn't get the same thing so it was just. more of like. just. not really like that. but anyway it was just him rattling off. different information about how good. things were going in cuba. it was a lot of propaganda. and they did have like a lot of big they. had some. what did they have lunch they had like a. light lunch it was like a meat cup of.

meat trays which was a really bizarre. dude. i mean there's a couple thousand people. in there listening and there's some. light. charcuterie out front. but i do remember going to the bookstore. there and the books all started with. um. shay guevara and and uh fidel castro. they didn't have there was no history. beyond that you couldn't get a history. book before that. it was as if them saying this is where. the history starts.

you know. with us and only us and our thoughts and. views. um. but yeah i found that to be pretty. pretty interesting i remember people. would come up by the windows and try to. tell us secrets or ask us for help and. we were just you know getting drunk. college kids. um. but. beautiful place beautiful people we went. and saw some biz bowl. and we had a really nice time over there. uh for what it was i mean we're just. tourists you know.

we had another call that came in about. the pledge of allegiance um. here we go right here thank you for this. call. hey theo it's your boy andrew from. minnesota and i'm just calling on your. thoughts about the flag and that lady's. thoughts about the flag. what's up andrew from minnesota thank. you for calling man and minnesota is a. good place to uh. to really be nice to people and agree. with people i feel like. and also wear a coat while you're doing. it gang baby.

so i gotta be quick and uh get it all. out there so i think the plague is a. representation a symbol of unity. liberty and justice. now i don't understand how anybody could. think that that's a bad thing and i. understand you feel the same way. however there's been a lot of. brainwashing going on i think and i. think it's kind of obvious to a lot of. people. um that that's been going on because. we're surrounded by a bunch of other. older countries that really don't like. our idea of. liberty and justice and unity.

so i think a lot of manipulation on the. internet ever since it's been devised. has. kind of warped a lot of people's. thoughts into maybe it's not such a good. thing to support the idea of the flag. because our government is not the. greatest and our government does a lot. of shady things well our flag didn't do. that and our flag represents the land i. think it's very simple when you think. about it that way you don't have to hate. the flag there's nothing wrong with the. flag it's just a symbol that represents. the land we're on and it's supposed to. stand for unity liberty and justice.

right. got you okay onward. so if you for some reason you don't like. that the thing is that there's liberty. in that word there are in those three. things you have the freedom to not like. the fight you don't have to like the. plague. and so i think that you can practice. freedom like that like that so the lady. that you were talking about she rejected. the idea of the plague. and um i think that maybe she shouldn't. be reprimanded for that perhaps you know. everybody should have the freedom.

to understand where she's coming from. and the freedom to reject her ideas so. anybody that you know if they've got. people or people have kids in their. class they don't like that well. move them out of her class you have the. freedom to do that and so we can. practice freedom. um in that kind of way and we don't have. to be so divisive and so hateful because. i think this the sanskrit meaning of the. swastika used to be something about. peace and love and it was a good. religious thing. now i think that's been warped and we.

can see what happens to a symbol if. enough hate is put onto it it will. become a hateful symbol so what will the. american plague look like a hundred. years from now will it be a peaceful. unity. justice liberty or will it be something. that's been warped. through propaganda and through. manipulation what will we choose right. now because we are standing on the. ground moving underneath us so i feel. like people just need to. possibly look at it from that way or. they don't have to they have the freedom.

to not they have the freedom to reject. this entire idea. and that's fine so. that's my thoughts and thank you for. listening. gang brother yeah no i love your. thoughts man and i appreciate you being. able to share your thoughts in a way. that's able for me to understand them. and um sometimes it's hard to get the. thoughts from my brain to my mouth uh. but i appreciate you doing that um. yeah you're right i mean yes so anyone. has the the freedom to share how they. want. and.

and yeah a lot of stuff is so divisive. these days. and a lot of people are using things to. divide like using tactics or making as. much division i mean the internet and. social media there's so much division on. it. and that's become of such a business. and business. is become. [Music]. and everything has become a business.

even our unity. and separate and. and and putting wedges in our unity that. has become a business. and if you don't think that there is. there are dark arts out there doing that. then i think you might be not. thinking that good to be honest. because that's one thing that's been. become so wild with social media and.

with the way that we communicate now. is. there's so much business attached to it. and we are at a different time. you know we haven't been in a time for a. while where our country was really. fighting. physically. hand to hand. uh so that other people could so that we. could feel comp you know so. we we would feel okay you know where.

like we. you don't fall asleep at night as often. as i used to as a child you felt a. little bit more or your parents. certainly did. that there were. men and women out there protecting your. freedoms um. and yeah maybe we all see the flag. differently i see it as a reminder. of. i see it as a reminder of freedom. and my job is freedom of speech my job.

only but they don't even have my job in. some countries. and i think i i think the the thing that. got me about that teacher's video i feel. like she just made it about her. it didn't have too much of a big point. it was just kind of this cutesy thing. and i could be wrong um. but yeah i wonder that. i wonder that like remember it felt. weird like it during the um. campaigning or whatever it felt weird.

because. they you didn't know if you showed the. american flag it felt like you were. everybody felt like you were some. right-wing nut job or not everybody i. mean i was in l.a predominantly at the. time so in la if i would have hung an. american flag off my balcony. people would have it just everybody. would have asked act like you're some. right wing nut job. for hanging your country's flag. that's bizarre. um.

but man great points. it's like how are we and what is. influencing us what is making me think. oh is this flag not good what is. um. and we're all so influenceable. so. but really interesting man i appreciate. you guys sharing your thoughts. you know and uh. and. and yeah i thought everybody yeah but. people have the right to feel whatever. they want and i don't know what that. woman's life has been like.

maybe she was brought you know people. were always maybe she lived next to a. near an air force or a barracks or. something people were mean to her. you know maybe she. feels like she hasn't gotten certain. jobs because other people had different. uh ties into certain communities or old. boyism. man i used to feel that way bro i hated. that [ __ ] growing up. you know. we didn't have anything man and nobody.

you know and so i would see friends that. got different opportunities and stuff. like that. went on vacations and. you know uh. probably knew where they were gonna go. to school or had pictures at their house. where their whole family looked like. they were having a good time together. and that [ __ ] all made me mad because. that wasn't part of i didn't feel like. that could be something i could. i felt like that was something that was. just reserved for certain people. um.

a country club type audience you know or. something country club type people. so yeah you don't know someone's also. where people are coming from. but there is a business of division out. there. and jordan peterson said it well when we. spoke he said what is what is claiming. your awareness what has what is claiming. your awareness. and the tools that are out there these. days they're so powerful. that they'll get you and you don't even.

know they're getting you. and if that's not the dark arts man. what is. um. one more call here about pledge of. allegiance maybe let me see. hey what's up theo it's uh it's drew. from alabama what's up drew thanks for. calling man uh. alabama dude i got a brother-in-law or. something brother and. i don't know somebody's somebody [ __ ]. them. and um. he.

was a male cheerleader over there at. university of alabama. and. praise god bro amen let's go. uh i'm listening to the uh gingerbread. trap house episode right now. and uh i got to the part where uh you're. talking about the teacher that. didn't want to put the flag up and uh i. just wanted to say thank you for saying. what you said. you know thank you for having some balls. and saying that what she was doing was.

disrespectful because you know a lot of. people they got these big platforms. nowadays they uh. they uh they don't they don't want to. stand up they don't want to stand up for. the flight they don't. they just want to go with what the. mainstream's saying and stuff but. not you man i appreciate the hell out of. that telling her how it is saying that. she's enjoying all these freedoms to say. what she wants to say but not having her. students. go for the american flag it just meant a. lot to me to hear you say that.

well thank you man i appreciate you. sharing that with me and and i don't. know if i i i don't know if i'm. necessarily right about it um i. appreciate your support. you know. but there is it is true that if. the. people have the freedom of different. thought it's the same thing that this. country was founded on people left. britain. because patty pemberton was over there. beating everybody off the docks. that dude was whooping people's ass bro.

dude if you got covered 19 go go go dude. i bet if you roll up right in front of. patty pemberton dude he'll pump it right. he'll he'll he'll punch it right out of. your damn solar system. dude that dude's curing cove and bro. with them covey cures. he put him on that other he. popped that other guy up aladdin or. whatever his name was jerry aladdin i. don't know. whoever he beat bro but damn. uh. yeah patty pemblet i mean sorry but. paddy pimlet dude.

that dude's out there damn baby. he's that freelance chiropractor son you. know what i'm saying he'll he'll frickin. he'll he'll get your chakras all. tightened up boy but that's that patty. pimple recipe some for pop. pop-pop. but uh damn what was i saying. but no i look i think the the look we. there everybody has a freedom of think. and feel how they want and that's how. this country even got started. people didn't like the.

feeling or the they didn't like they. didn't feel free. so i do think that we're seeing an. evolution of that and what will our flag. look like in 40 years. you know what will it look like and. maybe sometimes i think it may need to. things need to evolve over time. you know i don't look at the flag and. think it stands for like white people or. that it stands for.

um. i never felt like it stood for rich. people. i always felt like it stood for. us i felt like. but if you say if you're a native. american and you look at that flag. you know or you see your grandfather. look at it. or if you see your grandfather that was. forced maybe even to serve in a military.

not by his own choice. but because you know it was. maybe the you know the land had been. taken and it was. um. [Music]. but then maybe he was in the military. and he met his wife and he created his. family whom he loves. so now he's sitting there and looking at. the history. but at the same time looking at the. future of his.

lineage. you know and. and i'm grateful that that guy has the. freedom to feel all and think of all. those things. in an open space. um. [Music]. so yeah i i i have to remember that it's. not just whatever. has been.

going on for me. i'm not uh. calling you out or anything brother i'm. thankful for your call drew i really am. and um. yeah i i i don't know i used to like it. because i felt like it made us all feel. together i remember looking at my other. friends. and they did a pledge of allegiance at. the padres game the other day and it was. i mean that place is diverse as hell. dude you can't even get out of there bro. without getting a neck tattoo i feel. like i don't think they let you back in.

your car without a neck tat. and. everybody in there was standing up. and supporting the fight and it just. felt nice it felt like. some tradition. and maybe that's just what i like i like. tradition because it makes me feel okay. it makes me feel comfortable. um. [Music]. all right let's see if we got one more. call that came in here here we go uh hey. theo uh this is ryan calling from. baltimore maryland um i was listening to.

you thank you for calling ryan. and i appreciate you listening man. baltimore. that's black maine daddy. that's black maine baby onward. your latest podcast where you were. talking about the lady who uh lost her. american flag uh and told her kids that. uh she was okay with them not reciting. the pledge or standing for it. um i love your show man but. don't get me wrong but i gotta disagree. with you here um.

you asked uh. you're like uh well what's what has she. done for freedom or like she's selfish. like what is she doing. um like she's uh it seems like it's all. about her. well. i would argue that a country where you. could go to jail for not reciting an. oath doesn't sound very free to me. i think that for the freedom that we're. so proud of sometimes involves allowing. people to say or do things that others. might find disrespectful.

but. really i think that that kind of freedom. is something we all need because. we all need to be able to express. ourselves. and maybe disrespect some people. if it involves if it's something we need. to say. and i think that truly does. help us all. there's a lot to be proud of definitely. in this country but i think there's also. stuff that we shouldn't be proud of and. i think that kids should be allowed to. make those decisions for themselves.

i appreciate your call man yeah i agree. with you man. i agree. that kids should be allowed to make. those decisions for themselves. i agree with that um. yeah if somebody didn't say the oath and. they go to jail that seems. that seems very. that would seem wrong man. you know. um. and we don't have that here fortunately. um. and look i think you're right it's like.

you also you have people who don't want. to take a vaccine or don't want to feel. mandated to take the vaccine. and that freedom. you know so yeah it's really interesting. to try and look at where. it's interesting sometimes when i look. at myself and i say well where do i want. freedom. but then where do i want to call the. cult be like oh well i want more freedom. over here but i want you know. i want people to say the pledge but i. want. people to. also.

but. i don't want to. man i'm trying to think of what i'm. trying to say right uh. i just find it interesting yeah because. sometimes i'll notice in my own head. where am i being hypocritical. or i want freedom for what just what i. think. um. so. yeah it's tough man it's tough to. and part of that is part of being a. group and being a place where you can. be free to do these types of things i.

admired my teacher when i look back on. my life. because she took some kids who are just. kids you're just trying to jerk off when. you get home. you know what i'm saying we were. 13 bro. dude i was saluting my. wiener i was downstairs bro every. afternoon. and uh. and but she she got up she got upset if. we didn't. um.

support the flag in her class. you know she got upset and. and yeah i just felt like this teacher. was just making it about herself i. didn't really like her it just felt like. there's a lot of teachers that are still. trying to be kids a lot of times and. i think that's just one of the side. effects too of social media everybody's. just trying to make a damn tick tock. dance. you know nobody's really working anymore. we're all just screwing around making. tick tock dances um. but yeah it's a great point ryan man.

where do i want freedoms but where where. do i want. you know how do i want to bend the. freedom. [Music]. you know. how do i want to make that freedom worm. kind of like. not a freedom worm but. how do i want that. where do i want to put the lines for. freedom and make it okay here but a. little more open here and it is. interesting man um. but yeah i i i think i also missed the.

days when a teacher had a little bit. more of of authority. and that was the rule man i got spanked. by my principal. i got spanked by my principal. and i saw him. a couple months ago at a funeral. not his funeral obviously bro impossible. and i thanked him dude. and he told me he enjoyed it. and i thought damn it this dude could be. a damn pedophile but he isn't.

he's just a regular man that used to be. children bro and i needed it. so. speaking of beating children dude paddy. pimble. beat that dude the other day dude patty. pimple looks like he looks like somebody. who got molested and then beat the hell. out of every molester ever. he looks like charles dickens like. [ __ ] rogue. ass grandson. who's here to settle the score. that dude is upstairs um.

we had some other calls man but this is. a long first episode and we have a uh. a sit-in producer that's helping out. today zak so i don't want to put too. much on his plate. um. but. but yeah man a lot of just you know and. i'm just grateful we can be here and. have a conversation and i'm grateful for. you guys calling and being a part of my. life and. and just caring enough man. um. you know. it's a unique world and this is it this.

is our life. and. i'm just glad that we're all coming to. the surface of the water. and at least just. keep taking hits off the air bro. you know we stay busy we stay active. um. and uh. and you guys mean a lot to me man i. never tell you guys i don't think how. much y'all mean to me. you know i never tell you how much you. mean to me and. you know if i went on i went for a run. early i wasn't feeling super good.

because you know who i am bruh. um and so i didn't want my feelings to. dictate how my day was gonna go so i. said well if i go for a run physically. my feelings have to come with me. so i put them matches on my back. and i went for a run and while i'm out. running man i run into i was listening. to my podcast man. and he said hey and next thing you know. i didn't want to run that much neither. did he i think he was almost done he. said he'd been drinking the night before. and we went for a run bro this kid drew. i think his name i can't remember.

exactly. but uh well let me look i don't want to. be too lazy not to look because i know. he's. nice kid. young fellow. andy is his name so not drew. drew was the fellow that had just called. in. from alabama man but andy and you know i. just ran to him next you know he went. for two miles man and he shared some. story in his life you know he said his. sister just had a baby the first. nephew in his family and.

and. you know he just talked about some. things he was making some choices and. changes in his life with moving around. and it was just nice man. it was just nice and. i'm so blessed to run into people. a lot. that. are cool that. that are good people. you know. and that's a gift that you guys give me. a lot and. so i just want to say thank you i feel. like sometimes i don't really really say. that.

you know that. you know i've had moments in my life. where i could never get as alone as i. wanted to get. you know i could never get as alone as i. felt sometimes like i. i would isolate and be by myself and i. and sometimes i. i could never get as alone. i mean though you could put me in a 40.

coffins bro like one of those little. russian coffins where you keep opening. it and the thing gets little and little. and little and it's a woman it's like a. little the maestro. dolls. my mom used to have some other. and like. but sometimes i just it's you know i. i could never get as alone as i wanted. to get or as alone as i felt i could. never physically get as alone as i felt. and i'm not whining or complaining i'm. just sharing how i'm feeling bro.

or how i have felt. and that's just just a trick man. yeah you know. the re the purpose for being here is to. be. is some type of connection. it really is and uh. and man. as much as it's funny how god gives. because.

every time i think i want to be alone he. says hey. put somebody else in your life. boom even just a person you're running. it's a person you talk to person you. a moment you and not just me but you. anybody you see somebody maybe hugs. their child or the other night a father. and son came out to the comedy show you. know. man that just made me feel. you know i never got to do anything like. that with my dad we know you know i. didn't really know by the time i knew.

that's a funny thing to think about but. anyway i remember i left and he sent me. a picture later in the day he goes hey. man. i looked down at my table and i saw a. couple weapons on it. which one do you think you left here. and uh. i'm not gonna tell you i'll post it. right now so you can look and get the. joy for yourself i won't tell you what. it was. oh wait but if you're on audio you won't. know huh. um it's a comb one of them's just like a. woman's oh [ __ ].

one of them is a woman's hair comb next. to like three crazy machetes and knives. and i was wondering where my comb it. went bruh. it's not like a woman's comb and kind of. like a black dude would have that comb. you know but not the pit comb just a. regular comb so. i liked it man it's a nice comb i. thought i'm bummed i left it there but. it was just so funny he sent that. but. i got to go over there and spend time. and this is one thing that i wa that i'm.

grateful to our military for. i'm grateful that we live in a country. where i can sit here. and complain a lot of times. i get dude i get i get whiny sometimes i. do get some self-pity going on. where i can complain about how i'm. feeling i can talk about it. when our fathers our mothers there. wasn't time to do that they didn't have. that opportunity. you know um. and so that is a huge freedom.

because some of us if we didn't have we. could people could take their lives you. know people couldn't handle but they're. able to. you know. when we live in a real comfortable place. we're so comfortable. i could sit back with some damn cheetos. or something. i could sit back eating one of those red. white and blue bomb pops complaining. about how i feel. and not just and it's okay just you know. but that's a gift you know.

and it's also a reality you know time. has changed things are evolving we're. not. you know we're in different spaces. but certainly i'm also at an age like. i'm not like you know a 14 year old kid. who's never known anybody that really. fought in any wars or or had to you know. you know lost something or lost loved. ones or you know. if you just are on social media and. you're just you're like a. one of those social media activists or.

whatever. then yeah it's easy to sit and just. just share stuff and just you know tweet. and blast and talk [ __ ] um. but they didn't had that when i was. young they didn't have all this. extra information. and i they say uh knowledge is power. knowledge i think is. but just [ __ ] random [ __ ]. information that we don't even know is. true half the time. that's not power man.

and that's a lot of what's being created. and manipulated a lot of times. [Music]. and then it's really taken away a lot of. our power from ourselves. you know it's weird like cigarettes and. stuff will get banned but social media. won't i i. i don't see how we look back in 20 years. and think that it was any good but i. don't know if we'll. it's such a big business that business. really wins.

it's all become such a business man it's. scary. but. that's okay man we got each other we. were at the padres game. we ate three hot dogs. and uh. went for a run. at the veterans administration today you. got dudes out there carrying her legs in. a freaking. picnic basket out there dude they got. some wild cats. so a lot to be grateful for including. you guys. um it's september football starting back.

there's a lot going on. there's a lot going on um. yeah i just want to say thanks man you. know we're doing it we keep going that's. the number one thing we have to do is. stay alive. you know that's the most important thing. um. that's the most important thing. we can figure the rest of it out and. we'll try to do it together. you know it's wow there's also so many. more people in the world now so you can. have so many more ideas and there's so.

many more. you know it's a it's a business to make. us get disagree. and it's uh. it's the dark arts man i wonder what. fuels how i feel a lot of times. you know sometimes i'll ask myself well. why do you feel this way about this. and i can't tell sometimes i can't tell. if i just was influenced by something or. if it's a sometimes i can tell if it's a. real feeling i have but i don't always. know where my influences came from. um.

and were those pure you know. and one thing about getting older i find. that i feel like my influences from when. i was younger are purer than influences. that could just be happening to people. younger now. and then i start to see oh well this is. why grandparents and their kids and that. there's always these differences of you. know things evolve and change. but we stay alive and we just try to.

keep seeing it you know. and. i don't know what i'm trying to say i. never. really been good at goodbyes man but. gang gang man you guys be good to. yourselves. y'all deserve it. i'm gonna go out with this band one of. the greatest bands that was ever put. together. that wouldn't that didn't stay together. because. well. differences. differences addiction.

um. i don't know i'm not and i don't feel. like i'm talking out of shop on these. boy i mean i love that you know i. but. and maybe they will you know they still. try i know they i think in their hearts. you know. they just had a new album that came out. but. it's interesting man that even something. as beautiful as music it can. it stops getting created.

when uh. when you're not together when you're not. on the same page. so. you know and we don't have to be on the. same page but if we can at least stay in. the same book man we could probably. we could probably keep the tunes going. this is making it by bishop gunn. [Music]. man i love this band.
