00:00The Joe Rogan Experience. During my day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. That was one of the greatest moments in my life. That's my favorite. I was waiting for that. I realized as this music started, I'm like, oh, I want to wait for that Diaz. That was the coolest shit ever when he did that. In the middle of the fucking octagon when he said that, I was like, wow. We just got the best commercial of all time. Nick Diaz throws his arms up in the air. Yeah. That's his Joe Rogan podcast. Somebody got mad at me on Twitter recently for going against the suspension. We're talking ill of it. Really? Yeah. Well, if folks don't know, Nick Diaz got suspended or he's in the process of a hearing right now about his use of marijuana. He only tested positive for the metabolites in his system. And I guess what his lawyer is arguing is that metabolites aren't illegal and that the marijuana is illegal.

00:50And you're not allowed to have marijuana in your system, but you don't even have a law for metabolites. Oh, I thought it was like metabolites only remnants, and the last time he was smoking when he got those remnants was when he was legally smoking by the state of California. The metabolite that actually was in his system is an inert metabolite. The metabolite that he tested positive for is not psychoactive. So the only thing that he tested positive for was a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. There's, you know, I don't know how many cannabinoids. I shouldn't talk about this until I talk to Todd McCormick. Why don't they just let him smoke pot, though? It's like it's not a performance enhancing drug And it doesn't hurt the person I get in this argument with people And a lot of people have been angry at me about this Because I said that I think marijuana is a performance enhancing drug

01:35And it is if you're good It is if you're good with pot And it is if you're good with the martial arts It is enhancing It's not necessarily enhancing Like you could give it to one guy And his emotions and his nerves and everything just because of the fact that he's about to enter into a cage fight, it might overwhelm him, and he might just lose his shit. But you could give it to, like, I guarantee you could give some weed to BJ Penn, and he'd go out and fuck people up. BJ Penn, I don't think he would have any problem with it. He's an OG, you know what I mean? He's a veteran. So you think he'd be better? I think the jiu-jitsu, those guys never roll sober. You've got to understand, there's a lot of these guys, like high-level guys. So they just try to get back in the same place? I don't want to name any names because some people don't like people talking about it.

02:23So I'm going to tell you about high-level jiu-jitsu guys that you've heard of in videos, and everybody mimics them with their own game. A lot of those guys smoke weed. A lot. Like, it's a big percentage. And they smoke weed and train. And look, I always go back to Eddie Bravo because he's my best friend, but he's also one of the best jiu-jitsu instructors in the world. And I've never seen Eddie do jiu-jitsu when he wasn't high. Sometimes it gets so high, he can barely teach. He's like, I don't know where I was going. But he'll tell you. He'll tell you that it enhances him. He'll tell you that it enhances his sensitivity. It puts you in the flow better. It lets you. Okay, but so does, let's just say, vitamin B or whatever else you take. Oh, no, they're very different, though. Vitamin B is very good as far as your body's ability to perform, yes. But not as far as being able to change your state.

03:11the idea that the thing about marijuana is it's so it's it's so euphoric and it's so mind expanding and it's it's what it does when you have the family this is by the way is not for everybody obviously everybody's brain works in different ways but with my personal experience i get this wave of understanding when i get high and that prepares me for things man that's one of the reasons why i like to get high before i do big giant shows yeah it slows everything down for me I play poker tournaments high. Yeah, pool is fantastic high. I play a ball better when I'm high. Really? Yeah. That's another thing you'll say. At a tournament, you'll see all the poker pros, you know, running to their car as it breaks. Yeah, marijuana is an enhancer. It is an enhancer. It just is. Do you think it affects your judgment, though, to do stuff? Like in jiu-jitsu. Like, I mean, you watch a movie Stoned,

04:00and you might think it's awesome. The next day, you think it sucks. Right. If you're doing jiu-jitsu with somebody or MMA, Maybe you would do something you normally wouldn't do because you're thinking something different, you know? Well, you could but that could lead to see what you're saying is like that you would make a big mistake I think not what big mistake you just do something that you normally wouldn't do Right. Well, that would be a positive though a lot of times as long as you're good again As long as you're good because if you're a good jiu-jitsu player if you're a good grappler you have a fundamental understanding of where you're supposed to put yourself where you're in danger where you're not in danger what can be done you know there's all these moves tie into each other you know when you learn how to do butterfly hooks butterfly hooks you know you

04:45you learn how to manipulate people's bodies that that all of a sudden becomes a way to move people around just like with your hands and that adds to all these other techniques that you do so there's like there's this like literally in a limitless number of moves and positions i mean there's so many different variations so many different counters to those variations that you if you long as you have a deep understanding of positions and as long as you have a deep understanding of what's dangerous and what's not you're not going to usually put yourself in a bad spot i mean occasionally if you're training with friends you'll like say can i do let me just try to do this because you won't worry like if you get mounted or something like that you know you're not like in a competition where it's for your life. Whereas if you were in a fight, you wouldn't try this position. Yeah.

05:29But I think that's where a lot of new moves come from. Yeah, because it helps you with stand-up where it helps you riff a little more. Like, let me try this. But that can also lead you to a bad place where you're like, oop, that went nowhere. You can fuck up, man, all the time. We both do it all the time. I mean, I did it this past weekend a couple of times. It's like two out of three fuck-ups. It's like plenty of awesome fun moments. But when you're doing new shit, especially, like at the Ice House, I did a lot of new shit this weekend and you know i'm preparing for this special in uh atlanta which by the way um if you go to my twitter feed or go to joe rogan.net there's a link for it it's we're at the tabernacle on 4 20 and i'm gonna be filming my special do you already sell it one show yeah the first show is gone and then uh the second one's selling fast so if you if you want to get in i

06:11would love to have you guys come down it's gonna be a lot of fun it's gonna be crazy i'm psyched crazy last time i'm psyched to do it in atlanta too because i haven't been in atlanta in a long time what is a tabernacle nipple Brian that's in the video what is the terror now what is it like what is is that is that like a nut because everyone acts like that's everyone knows what one of those is I have never rid of one it's just a name tabernacle that's always like the tabernacle choir yeah it's a nice and nice name for something for what you know it's like I don't know I mean I should I don't know look at what is tabernacle I have no idea I feel like I'm stupid for not knowing what it is. If you told me it was the Tabernacle Buffet, I would say, wow, it must be an excellent buffet. I'm sure it's like... That buffet is regal as fuck. It's like Rolls Royce or something. It's like some name. Tabernacle. Tabernacle.

07:01Now I wonder. Residence or dwelling place. Wow. The Tabernacle. It's Hebrew, bro. That's why I don't... It's English. It's your people, man. How the fuck do you not know this? Yeah, well, that's what I mean. The Tabernacle is a residence or a dwelling place according to the Hebrew Torah Old Testament. See, it just sounds annoying. Well, I don't know how that got to Atlanta. Is there a lot of Jews in Atlanta? No. Christians started using it? Is that what it is? Yeah, I guess so. Maybe that was the English translation for a hut or something. That's interesting. So it's just a house. It's just like a super fancy way to say house. Tabernacle. Yeah. You might have never known what that word meant. So that's where we're at. Tabernacle. And it's on 420, which is just so silly. It looks like a tabernacle fire. We had to do it. Oh, it's perfect. It's so silly we had to do it.

07:46When you told me you were thinking about it, I was like, no, dude, let's probably just do that. No, it costs us extra money to do it this way. Because, yeah, everybody else wanted to do it the next month. But I was like, you know what? It's 420. It's just so silly. Let's just get in there. Just get in there and film it on 420. It's just so perfectly goofy. It is. I mean, fucking, I love how Doug Benson does his 420 shows, his 420 in the afternoon. because look, yes, it's preposterous, it's silly, it's ridiculous, but he's cut out everybody but his hardcore fans. He's getting it. He was showing up at 420 in the afternoon on Sunday. There aren't casual Doug Benson fans showing. Do you guys ever have a screen name that had the 420 in it? No. No. How dare you? You did. Clearly you did. Did you ever have one that had 69 in it? Probably. I definitely had Red Band 420. 2012 bro yeah no I never I never did AOL or something

08:50wait let me ask you a question though ah fuck it who cares no ask why should something if it just enhances yourself why should certain those things be banned okay back to the weed being an enhancer well it's all in what does it you know look the reality is everything you take is a performance enhancer from vitamins to minerals to a good diet isn't it just what's harmful for your body that's what they try to outlaw no what they're trying to outlaw is What they're trying to do is they're trying to stop low-level physical engineering. And that's what steroids are. It's low-level. It's inevitable that they're going to come out with nanobots. It's inevitable they're going to have the ability to literally change your genome. It's inevitable. It's coming. It's coming. It's going to happen. The doctor in Star Trek, Deep Six Nine, he was all genomed up, right? Yeah, he could have bullseyes every time. It might not be in our lifetime.

09:39I mean, it might be in another lifetime after us. But sometime, if you look, as long as we don't blow ourselves up or get hit with a fucking asteroid, we're going to make things better. There's no way. There's not a technological wall they're going to hit. These fucking guys are coming up with incredible discoveries. And these incredible discoveries actually make those other incredible discoveries easier. So, I mean, all the technology essentially works together as far as, like, computer processing power and as far as knowledge gained and learned. And you build on that instead of having to redo those experiments to get to a certain point. You're already far, far along the process And then these new minds just add to it They're going to figure out a way to do something That's way crazier than steroids They're going to figure out a way to make Dr. Manhattans

10:22They're going to figure out a way to make giant blue dudes With giant blue dicks And I mean it's going to be real It's going to be unstoppable Once it becomes An actual technology Once they get over the morals Then it's only a matter of time Is it a hundred years? Is it two hundred years? We breed workers? Yeah. We will be unrecognizable 200 years from now. You think so? As long as we stay alive. And keep cloning and getting more and more thump. We're trying really hard to fuck it up. We're trying really hard to eat every fish in the fucking ocean and then throw all of our shit in there and plastic. People live longer. They accomplish more things. Yeah, but we're still trying to fuck up the ocean. We're going to overcrowd this place. Yeah, that's an issue. You know, they say you can produce enough food in like one state of the country.

11:09You know, if you take like North Carolina, if you filled North Carolina with farms, you could produce enough food to feed the whole world. But I say, fuck you. I say, you're crazy. I think your calculations suck dick. Are way off. Yeah, you could barely have people scratch by. And North Carolina is not that big, stupid. And by the way, those people are just going to make more people. And then what are you going to do? Are you going to move into South Carolina, take over that and make that a farm? That's assuming there was like a line up to the door of North Carolina. Right now, I think we're okay, and we'll probably be okay for another generation, but we're eventually going to reach a point in time where there's too many people. I mean, we're okay here in America. They're certainly not okay in other parts of the world. Population bomb, population explosion.

11:51Rachel Carson and her husband wrote books about it, but that's the number one problem for our population is when it explodes and can't sustain itself. Yeah, I mean, it has to. Because it reproduces exponentially instead of geometrically. So it's not like two this year, two more next year, two more. It's like two, then five, then nine, then 20. Yeah, yeah. It just keeps going. Fuck. So it'll be the last minute. I'll just go, and we'll just fill this place up, and we'll all just humongous plague. Yeah. That's a real issue, right? Yeah. How do you stop that? Rain is going to come. You know, you got to wonder. You got to wonder if, you know, human population has like a number, like a cap reset button that you have to keep it at I think that's what AIDS is really? AIDS, the plague it's all just nature's way of balancing it out trying to fight it well how come there's less plague today then that doesn't make any sense

12:43there's way more people way more people but way less plague I think things come up because of it well I think sort of but we combat that with science yeah we're outdoing nature's way of combating it yeah well we're greedy bitches like your body can fight off certain diseases when it's presented with too many coughs it's like I'm out right it's all my blood cells are gone right Yeah, I wonder what I mean Somebody actually brought that argument up recently I forget where it was But the idea was that a virus was actually engineered That viruses By nature Engineered by nature to attack humans Yeah, keep our numbers down To keep us off Yeah Isn't that fucked up? I think we just have a thousand words That's all we got left A thousand words What is that? Eddie Murphy movie How dare you When is he going to stop making bad movies? Does he have enough money? Doesn't he have enough money? Another zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes too

13:30You can just not make any movies If you want It can't be about the money Go back to comedy But that guy was hilarious I know he can do that He has moments We gotta get him on weed He doesn't smoke pot His brother does Charlie smokes weed He must have tried it Why do we think he didn't Charlie Merford gets high as fuck He smokes blunts smokes those um those ones with the tobacco on the outside we got high that was a totally different high that's weird that's a weird high man we were in a limo well the tobacco is not mixed in it's the leaf yeah which by the way yeah it is bad here's the deal you're not supposed to smoke cigar leaves you just inhale you puff those oh but they're smoking but they're they're inhaling them so they're taking these cigar leaves that you're not supposed to be inhaling in the first place and they're inhaling them with their weed it's craziness i'm like this is not the way to do

14:32it man you know they like to do those real philly blunts where you take the phillies fucked up they're like give me the worst shit just fuck me up phillies are disgusting the idea that you would take one of those shitty cigars those shitty grandpa cigars and actually inhale It's like tiramisu. You can't have it once in a while. You don't do it every day. I had a couple cigars before that were like sweetened cigars. Yeah. Have you ever had those before? Swisher Sweets. Swisher Sweets, yeah. Swisher Sweets are sweetened. The grape ones are good, too. You get a nice buzz off a cigar. That's what people don't know. A lot of people don't know. You can get just as high off a good cigar as you can off shitty weed. My first cigarette, I would finally smoke once every few weeks, you know like when i just in college or when i just start it was like when you have one it's like

15:20whoa it's a major buzz yeah yeah the real a deep tobacco buzz like especially real tobacco like cigar tobacco it's nice it's a nice feeling i mean those dudes aren't doing that just because it looks cool yeah like they're getting high they're getting high from that tobacco it's a weird high they're getting nasty the scler brothers i used to smoke before i played basketball outside on the courts and i got picked up on something like all right come on we're starting i had to like take my last few puffs off a cigarette and this i figured it was randy or jason but one of was like, Ari, you have to quit smoking. I was like, I know, I know. They're like, it's bad for your health. I'm like, I know. And they're like, it makes you stink. I'm like, I know, I know. And they're like, it's not cool. I'm like, well, that's where you're wrong. Clearly it's cool. That's the only reason anyone has ever started smoking.

15:59It's cool? It's cool. How's it cool? Cool people, that's just always been a cool thing. It's been an I don't give a fuck thing. Yeah. That's the reason why people smoke cigarettes is because they don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. You know, you see a private investigator in a movie and he's taking a drag off his cigarette. He's not even He's feeding his own monster Feeding his own monster with a cigarette It's funny we see actors smoke cigarettes It is weird Because you never see them in movies do it But it's only when they're off I see a lot of them on set You see them stamp out And I'm trying to quit And they're always trying to quit Puffing a little cigarette They just go until you're ready to quit And then quit One or the other The best is when you're on a set And everybody's high When you get on one of those sets Where everybody's high All the writers are high The actors are getting high Director's high

16:46those are the real movies we did me and Renazisi did those Tiger Woods commercials and so then he left and we had to keep talking trash to ourselves we played the video game right and they were like want some beers we're like okay and they just started giving us beers the production company and they're like keep talking trash whatever and they're like do you want to smoke some pot and we're like you better not we're not going to get any work done if you do that but this is very cool of you guys that's awesome yeah if you're with a good group of people man they want to have fun that's the way to have fun you know I mean think about how we do the podcast You know We can hide before Every single one of them We're always doing The ice house is drunk Yeah I brought a bottle of wine Last night Did you really Just say like I'm gonna drink this You're classy I brought a bottle of wine We're drinking wine Out of plastic cups Why not

17:28It's fucking great man You know It's decent wine At Cavaretta's Cavaretta's Deli In Canoga Park That place That Italian place Holy shit Is that place good Really Yeah I picked up a bottle of wine And some sandwiches Boom That's nice It's the only place here on the West Coast where you can get real East Coast Italian food. Cavaretta's? Cavaretta's, yeah. It's in Canoga Park. Fuck. Sandwiches are amazing. What's Canoga Park? They have a sausage and pepper sub that I cannot not get. I have to get it every time. I always say, well, I'm going to experiment this time. Nope. I got to get this sausage and pepper because it's so ridiculous. To eat a whole one, you have to be some kind of massive. It's ridiculous. It's preposterous. You have to be some crazed glutton to eat a whole one. I have eaten a whole one before. That's what I thought. Yeah, I'm sure you have. You're an animal. When we took Joey? Really? Yeah.

18:20I've seen you at Greasy Tony's or whatever those places were where you got the garbage pail. Yeah. Whatever it was. And I was like at the small. And I'm like, this is way too much for me. And you're just killing yours. I'm like, fries, please. What? That sub was dangerous. That was like... The Greasy Tony's? Yeah, Greasy. That was like liquid death. Greasy Tony died of heart failure at 52. I know. I'm glad I only had like seven of those. I think he was in his 60s. I think he was in his 60s. He might have actually even been 70. He actually looked good for his age. He looked a lot younger than he was. But yeah, he did die of heart failure. I wonder if he was like 24. When a guy named Greasy Tony dies of heart failure. But I tell you what, man, I always loved being around that guy. We got pictures for years with us and Greasy Tonys. This was in Tempe, Arizona, right across the street from the Improv.

19:05There was this 24-hour Italian joint run by this guy from Jersey, and he was a great old character. We would just hang out there after the shows. He was so cool to be around, just to get to hang out with a real character like that guy. You look in the walls, it was all his pictures when he was young. His sons are all flexing. There's a picture of the godfather, a picture of the sign by Sylvester Stallone. It's so classic, old East Coast Italian. And he was so friendly. He was such a nice guy. that like you would go there it was like you know like going over your friend's living room or something it just happened to be hey look at the back hey look at the back comes up behind the counter he's hugging you and shit Greasy Tony was awesome what a great guy and the food was fucking perfect yeah when you're hammered and you're coming off of two shows at the Tempe Improv it was a really good job yeah let's go eat

20:00and you have one of those subs those fucking steak subs that he had the thing called the garbage pail that you were talking about what does it weigh four pounds five pounds I don't know it was ridiculous it was gross and it was just dripped grease. It was like no bullshit. It was close to two feet long. Let me soak this in oil before you eat it too. It was... Pours oil onto it. I'm not bullshitting. It was at least 18 inches long. They were fucking huge. They would cut them in half and each one of them, each half would look like a big sub. Yeah. And they're like, this is too much. This half is too much for me. And I would eat the fuck out of that shit. God. It was like the leg of Esther. That's pretty much what it was like. Whenever we order food at a restaurant, you go first and then the waitress is like, all right, thank you. And she starts to leave And you're like No, no, no, no That's just for me You're what my friends want

20:42After shows She's like what? I get famished I get famished after shows You know You think about the energy That you put out When you're on stage You know Just focusing And managing everything There's a lot of mental energy Physical energy Moving around It's a lot of energy You know It's a big burn There's a lot A lot going on You have to be in shape To do stand-up To do it right I mean You could do it If you were out of shape But guarantee you You'd be better If you were in shape You know I mean, a guy like Ralphie, how much better would Ralphie maybe if he weighed 180 pounds? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. I mean, his timing, the way his brain would work, the way his body would move. You know, it's amazing when I see a guy like Ralphie. He could definitely be a lot more physical. Think about how many goddamn shows he does, how much energy that is. That's incredible what Ralphie does. He said he dropped two pant sizes.

21:27That's great. I'm good, pal. Well, he had some serious health issues, right? Yeah. He stopped smoking weed. He said his doctor told him to stop smoking. I don't know if he stopped eating it. No, he stopped eating it too. Really? Yeah. He said the stuff in there. Say goodbye to all that funny shit. He doesn't mind if he smoked around him. But yeah, his immune system's all shot to hell. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, man. He was, obviously, you cannot get that big. Ralphie's, if you don't know Ralphie May, he's probably about 500 pounds at least, right? He's the sweetest guy in the world. He's so sweet. I'm so worried about him. Does he sound the same? We all worry about him. Well as he loses weight He'll definitely His voice will change For sure He's going to start having Like a British accent He'll sound royal So you still smoking the weed Joe Yeah He Yeah I don't know what makes Someone get that big I would be Out of my

22:23Out of school To talk about it I don't know if it's biological It seems to me That it's a very recent Phenomenon in human history To get that big Yeah I don't think people Got that big A couple hundred years ago Big J is losing weight now. He got Patrice Dout. Who's Big J? Big J Ockerson. He's this really funny New York comic. Oh, okay. He was, like, massive. Yeah, oh, he's losing weight? Yeah, after Patrice died, it's the same thing. It's like, wake-up calls, everybody. Yeah, you know, it's very important. It's very important to take care of your fucking body. We're all going to go, man, but you don't need to go early. You don't need to go because that's going to be a terrible feeling to go because you treated your vehicle like shit. That's not what you should do. They did this benefit in DC for this comic who had a stroke but didn't have insurance.

23:10And then every third comic was like, yeah, this will be for me in six months. But it's like, it will be. You guys are all getting fatter. Stop. You know, this really brings up a really interesting point. Because the ability when someone is fucked, when they're done, when you're paralyzed from the neck down, you can't move. the ability to terminate their own life and to decide. Some of them can blink and move a cursor and stuff, and they can write things like, I want to die, please kill me. There was a woman who wrote this article, and this woman's name is Alison Pearson. She wrote this article about, do any of us, however ill, have the right to die? And this was her argument. Her argument was that you don't have the right. It is one of the dumbest fucking most simpleton mouth diarrhea takes on the subject I've ever read. It's not thoughtful. Oh, really? It's silly. Of course you have the right to die.

24:08It's your own. Rights are given to us by others in order for us to live together. But it's like you can do whatever you want to yourself. Yeah. The right? What do you mean? It's completely preposterous. I mean, it's one of the dumbest arguments that anyone can ever make. It's just a really poorly. So what's she saying? What's she saying? Well, she said that, I didn't even want to read it because it's horrible. But the point is she contradicted herself because she had actually written another one, another article a couple years back where she was praising a woman for killing her daughter because her daughter had a fatal disease and she was just slowly suffering. So it was the right to kill others but not ourselves? It's preposterous. She also wrote a really dumb article. Who hired her? She writes for some English newspaper. You think she's just ragging? Well, maybe 24-7. She writes for the Telegraph.

24:58Is there any chance you meant that as a double play on the word rag? She writes for the Telegraph. So here's my point. So the other day, I look on my website, and there's a thread that says, Women vs. Doug Stanhope. Yeah. So I go, oh, what the fuck did Doug do? This could be great. By the way, Doug's latest CD is fucking fantastic. Really? If you haven't heard it, it's great. Just got it. I haven't heard it yet, though. Boy, he made me laugh. You know what's great when you hear a guy, and I've got to be honest, his last one that he did in Norway, the Oslo one, it wasn't my favorite. It wasn't my favorite out of his stuff, and I love Doug. He's fucking awesome. But this one, man, it's almost like he rebounded from that one just with renewed vigor and hate and just fucking attacked. It's great. It's so good. There's some really fucking hard laughs in it. Yeah, it's great.

25:51It's one of my favorite stand-up comedy CDs in years. I think it's my favorite of Doug's. I think he just, whatever the fuck he did, whether he even talks about it, he turned a corner as a person, where he doesn't give a fuck anymore. He's just trying to have fun. He's not trying to change the world. He thought he was going to try to change the world at one point. Now he finally realizes he's just one dude. Yeah, he's just here to tell dick jokes. And it's fucking great. It's great. And so I tweeted about it. And it's hard to follow everything the fuck that's going on on Twitter. So I didn't see this women versus Doug Stanhope thing. So I go to Stanhope. Stanhope read what this woman had wrote. And let me find the exact quote because it was pretty inflammatory. Something about he, I think he said that he hopes she gets a cyst. Did he write this? Yeah. I mean, he's just really angry at this article.

26:51And that's what Stan Hope does. He gets fired up, and he wants to figure out some way to turn this rage into comedy. So what is his exact quote? Oh, shit. I can't find it. I think he said that he wished a cyst on her ovaries or something like that. To see what you would do? yeah i can't even find he might have actually taken well he might have actually taken the first quote down really yeah why he caught a lot of flack for it i don't know that doesn't seem like him so what was the what was the thing women against doug stanhope yeah i can't find it that's this is was there backlash well this is what's crazy so doug stanhope calls her a cunt and you know he was uh he said that she was fucking ridiculous and there's a shit article and it's about something that is very near and dear to doug because that's what his mom had to do his mom had

27:46to take her own life oh really so yeah so for some mom did that from the man show yes so for some some smug asshole to yeah to come and you know and just pass judgment like this and then do it with such poor thinking because just it's really poorly written it it reeks of a mediocre mind it reeks of someone who is just, they're not capable of grasping how a lot of other people are going to see this. They don't have enough perspective to tackle this complex issue. It's insulting. It's insultingly dumb. And so Stanhope shit all over this lady. So her response was to create this Women Against Doug Stanhope page on Facebook. It's also on Twitter. Women vs. Stanhope on Twitter and Women vs. Stanhope on Facebook. Exactly. Isn't it a right to die a show? Exactly. No, because he asked for a cyst. Oh. Because he said, he called her a cunt and she said he hopes she gets a cyst. Can anyone join?

28:50I think he said a fetid ovarian cyst. Yes, well that's the problem. This is what I was going to say. The problem is the only people that joined Women vs. Stanhope both on Twitter, me, and on Facebook, me. You're the only ones that joined? No, it's me and all the fucking Stanhope fans from the Rogan board. And all the people who heard about this. So they all joined? Nobody's going to fucking women versus stint. Bitch, get the fuck out of here. There's a few crazy hookers that are looking to get mad at any guy who says anything bad to any woman anywhere. I think some women just hear a quote, women against someone, she's like, oh, sure, I'll sign up for it. Of course. I read this one lady's take on it. You know, misogynists like Stan Hope. Like, what are you fucking talking about, dummy? This is, you know, yeah, he made a personal attack on her. But that's not the important part.

29:36The important part is this nonsensical argument by a fucking dullard saying that really terminally ill people who are in horrible straits shouldn't be able to stop their time on this life. It's somehow or another. What? Is there some grand plan that has to pay out? Is there some pill that you know about that we don't? Is there some new leaf that we're going to find on the Amazon that restores this 80-year-old guy who's paralyzed with a neck down? Jesus fucking Christ, bitch. You don't know what you're talking about. You're talking nonsense. You shouldn't be allowed to be in a position where you have an opinion that can be expressed and then can influence people. Yeah, who's hiring her? You're too fucking stupid for that. What is she? What does she work for? Yeah. She works for this fucking newspaper, man.

30:17This is why I try not to say bitch when I'm in an argument with a woman because I'm like, I don't want this to be about female or male at all. Like, I just want you to know that you're stupid. So I try not to use gender-specific words. Yeah, this is a – it's just – you don't have to gender-specific with this lady. I have and I don't think I have but unless I called her a bitch but the way I say that I call that I'm saying that's what happens when Doug uses a cut it's not his fault but that's what they latch on to yeah I use a bitch with my best friends I was like bitch you crazy I mean I'm not saying she's a bitch as a woman yeah but that's what they that's what they latch on to and you're like why that's not what we're even talking about well because they want to be able to say you hate women of course I do the worst well the women you really hate women I don't hate them but as a whole

31:01I just definitely look down on them. You definitely look down on them? Yeah. Well, you know what it is, I look down on men too. There's a lot of men out there that are bitches. I run into a lot of very unfortunate men out there in this world. Yeah. And if I was a woman, I would be sad. If I was a woman and I wanted to have a real man, good luck. Good luck finding one of those fucking things. Yeah. There's like a specific type of female drunk that I hate, but there's also a specific type of male drunk that I hate too. Yeah, I don't, dude, I would way rather be a guy than be, I think there's way more women that are cool than there are men that are cool. there's too many douchebags out there that have some weird chip on their shoulder you know there's some weird need to prove themselves and this there's just too many aggressively cunty men

31:38you know i think there's a lot of cunty women but i think there's way more cunty men there's just fucking people there's a lot of guys that are just going like this just their chest and trying to like and like why why why are you fighting what are you doing who wants this they never train if they just train they would never do that you know you go with a bunch of guys who are like jiu-jitsu guys go out they're like the nicest most polite people ever you know it can be easier yeah it's way easier stupid you know i realize you know sometimes i used to do this thing i don't do it anymore where it's like you're the yellow light you try to like pause far enough so the car behind you misses the light and you get to go through it but i'm like the amount of energy it takes to do that would be equal to the amount of energy to

32:18speed up and get the guy in behind you the game works either way you're trying to accomplish That's a total cunt move, dude. It's like you can be nice and still have the fun of the game. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's... I think people just get locked into a way of... It's absolutely people get locked into a way of things. And you can also get locked into frustration. Some of the most aggressive people I've met were the most unsuccessful, the most frustrated. The reason why they were just constantly involved in conflict is because they were dealing with a lot of internal conflict and no confirmation of anything good. No confirmation of goodness from their life There's no confirmation of them being worth something They were always getting dumped in relationships Or in the middle of fighting with their boss They just shit on everything Yeah, there was always conflict And when you're in that situation

33:07That constant state of unease That becomes your baseline Yeah, it's the worst It's hard to be around Yeah, it's the worst to be around But the reality is You and I have it far easier than the average person There was a threat on the underground. Yeah, but I think the average person isn't like that. I think that's a lot of people, but I think the average person's cool. You're absolutely right. But I'm saying the average person is under a lot more stress. Yeah. It seems like stand-up comics would be under a lot of stress, and we sort of are, but it's kind of a different stress. The world's under zero stress. Yeah. There was a threat on the underground talking about Sunday night. And the guy's like, man, fucking Sunday night. Some dude just reached out. He goes, Sunday nights are depressing. Do you guys find Sunday depressing? and fucking everybody's like, yes, I hate Sunday night. I hate going back to work.

33:54It makes me sick and I'm sitting here. I'm just, and I'm dreading. I'm dreading that I got to go to work in the morning. And I'm like, wow. That's when you really realize how stupid lucky we are. Just stupid lucky to be stand up. I mean, I've been stupid lucky across the board. I mean, even fear factor. I never woke up and was like really mad that I had to go and make retarded amounts of money to do that. It wasn't my favorite thing to do, but I was never mad at it. But to do stand-up or anything like that or work for the UFC, it doesn't even feel like a job. It's something you actually look forward to. You know, I try to do sometimes when I'm tired and I don't want to go to some awesome gig or get on the plane to go to some great place. I'm like, I have it worse than Ethiopia. Just put it out how ridiculous it is. Relax, dude. You can complain, but keep it set. Say it out loud.

34:37We should put that on your wall. I have it worse than Ethiopia. It'll force you to just not be a bitch. This ice cream is melty. I have it worse than Ethiopia. yeah there's um it's like let me complain but obviously i'm fine it's super easy to get into a shit mindset the bottom line is that life is a struggle it's a constant struggle and doing anything is a struggle like we were talking about our you know writing new material we're both doing that right now we're both you know you go up and sometimes it just eats dick it's not working sometimes you don't know where you're going with something because it's a new bit and you're trying You try to say it one way, and now you try it another way, but then it sort of diffuses the second part of it, and then you've got to listen to it and go over it and maybe rewrite it. It's a weird process. Sometimes you're like, okay, this section just needs work,

35:24and then the next time you're like, it still needs work, and the next time you're like, damn it, nothing's coming. And then sometimes bits just show up done. Oh, yeah. You know? Sometimes you get an idea, and I have got an idea on the way to a show and then got to the show, and then boom, the bit was done. And it kills like an old bit. Yeah. You know, one of my bits from my... The Facebook thing, the first time you said it. Yeah. Which Facebook thing? Wait a minute. I don't want to ruin one of your jokes. You're special. If, this is the premise, if they had Facebook in the 1800s. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That came out immediately. Yeah, that was that night. It was some big theater. I forget where. Yeah, sometimes... And it was like, yeah, it was really funny. That's a tag, though. That was sort of easy because the big premise had already been set. Oh, right.

36:11you're saying the whole thing yeah but um it's it's weird man the the process is so weird the process of creating new stuff but it's so exciting too it just gets you like real stimulated like that's my favorite time because it's the most unsteady time you're going out there with all these like fucking weak ass weapons you know it's like you're playing um it's like you become a bad motherfucker at starcraft or world of warcraft it's your first time getting to mike tyson and punch out and you're like what the fuck yeah he just knocks you out in two shots and you quit and then you start all over again as oh yeah with a new account yeah that's a better example yeah yeah and you're like what yeah you're a noob with shit we played we played we that thing me and renazisi did we got to play tiger woods golf with tiger woods right right and he drove it off

36:55the tee once and he like went into this creek he's like i couldn't clear the creek it was like 140 40 yards. I'm like, yeah, welcome to regular people golf, Tiger. Yeah, I'm just mumbling. I was like, that's how regular people do it. You powered through that one, though. I tried, and then I got stuck in like a rut right there in a skip. That's the worst feeling when you're on stage in the middle of a fucking perfect joke. And you're like, come on, body. Stop it. Your body just hiccups on a word. Oh, God. Damn, I'm ruining this whole moment. I almost did that this week, and I paused myself, and it actually made the joke better. Oh, really? I almost fucked up. I had an almost fuck up where a word was, I felt it come out twisted. I'm like, why is my tongue this shape? I paused an extra second, then I paused an extra second after the word, after I got it correct. Yeah. And it was like a better pause. Yeah.

37:42Sometimes you chance by stuff on accident, right? Yeah. You're like, oh. Like I realized, I'm like, oh yeah, that gives you more time. I am saying something kind of crazy right there. Maybe it's better to contemplate it for a moment before you hear the second step. Sometimes, you know, stand up is, it's just. Technical. Yeah, and you're doing it in front of different people. That's the only art form that I know of where you literally need them to practice it in front of. I don't know. I know some of the stuff that's funny. When I write it, I know some of the stuff that's going to kill. But some of the stuff, every now and then there's some shit that you didn't even think was funny. You thought it was like a throwaway and it crushes. It could be like the biggest throwaway to you and that's like the biggest laugh of the joke.

38:24I find a lot of times that I'll do certain jokes that I really enjoy that may or may not get as big a laugh. But I'll do the jokes that get a humongous laugh that I'm like, yeah, I like it. But it's not my favorite. But you guys seem to like it. Yeah. So I'll keep that in there so you listen to these ones that I want to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a tool. Yeah. There's no substitute for fucking doing it on stage in front of people. There's no way around it. That's why I used to hear about Bill Cosby. That Bill Cosby would just write his whole routine and then just go on The Tonight Show. And just do it. Yeah, he just did it. He would say he just knows what funny is. Certain people, I guess, go differently. I would like to see that dude. If he's in town, you want to see him with me? Yeah, I totally would. I bet he comes to town like once a year.

39:01My first time in Montreal, I had to leave the day before he was there, and I was really upset. Yeah, I'd like to see him do stand-up. Yeah, I would definitely see Bill Cosby. Because it's hard when you hear a lot of the veteran comics talk about him because he's reached this deity status. You can't say anything at all. They're not honest. Yeah. Because I remember the one time, you know, obviously George Carlin's one of all-time greats. There's no doubt about it. He's like one of the greatest comedians that's ever lived. Yeah. But there was a time where he was coming to the comedy store and he was working on some new stuff and it was not good. Yeah, his last or second or maybe third to last special. But yeah, it was like, nah. It wasn't good. There was one good bit in there of the hour. And we all kind of sat around and no one wanted to say anything. No. Yeah.

39:38And maybe you and I got together and we were like, yes, it wasn't good. In private. It wasn't good. Yeah. But meanwhile, he's fucking one of the greatest of all time. Yeah, you have to say, I'm not taking anything away from his overall achievements. Yeah. No, it was that moment. And really, the reason was, there's a reason for it. It wasn't that he wasn't a good comic anymore. It's that he had an incredible workload. And he did the Louis C.K. thing where he was the originator of it. He would come up with a completely new act every year. He would do like a dozen or two dozen specials, right? It's incredible. And he was in his 60s, right? And he was like... It was well in his 60s, maybe even older. Yeah, and he's writing a whole new special and performing it every year. He gave me 20 bucks. I went to the deli for him. Really? I got me to a daily form. He gave me $20. I was like, oh, it's on the house.

40:23He goes, yeah, I know. But yeah, it's for you. And I was like, thank you so much. Yeah, you got $20 for George Carlin. You should have framed that shit. Yeah. And I think I needed to eat. I mean, that's so courageous, too, that he would do that. That he would go out there. Tip it you $20? No. Try out all the new shit and bomb. When he could just pull out hours of classics and just crush. He said that before we used to work out. He would be like, I'm not doing the old stuff. Don't ask for it. I'm not going to do it. Yeah. Here we go. yeah that's how he had to do it it's amazing it's amazing really it's hard to put yourself in that position but if you do it enough practice enough probably just the same thing as working out you get to a place of like happier that you didn't just rely on the old material and you actually just went through the new stuff yeah but it's also Gaffigan and I talked about this and one of the things

41:05that he said was that you gotta have both he goes it's really important to me to be really good to have a good show these people are paying a lot of money I can't just work out in front of them and I was like you're right I feel the same way like I wanna I sandwich new jokes in between already known killers. That's why I love workout sets. Yeah. At the store or New York or anywhere. It's just like, this is just, you know, it's a fucking Tuesday night. No one's here to see anybody specific. Don't you feel like that, you know, you got to, like, get the audience's sort of respect before you, like, start doing new shit? I feel like. Here's what I'll do. I know what you mean. It's like you want to do an opener that's going to hit them right away. Opener that works for sure. I'll find a new one. I'll find a new one for this year. Okay. By not having one, that'll make me find a new one. That's a good way to look at it. Yeah.

41:53By not having a closer, that'll force me to get a closer. But if I do my whatever ending and then, like, let me hit you with some great bit I know works, then I don't leave with that feeling of, like, I need something better there. Do you get bummed out if people send you, like, shitty messages about your show on Twitter? No. They thought you sucked? Uh-uh. Because rarely is it super bad. I'm trying my best with whatever that new material is. Right. And then it gets better and better, so the more and more of it goes well. Right. Maybe then eventually all you need is just that closer. But the first 10 is great, you know, and then it becomes like so-so. Yeah, we've got to do some things, man. Let's go to Alaska or something like that. We've got to do some shit. I told your manager. I already told her. I said, he's going to forget again. So just look into it. I'm telling you. Just look into it.

42:34The longest day of the year, Shroom Fress is July 21st to the 23rd. Oh. Can you get shrooms in Alaska? Fuck, of course you can, right? Just the way he says that. Of course you can. There's no way that can't be true. This is the guy who got arrested at the Mall of America. What do you mean to say? Is this the guy who got let off by the cops of Mall of America? That's one way of putting it. That's one way of putting it. But you did get... I can't remember the last time the cops came at Mall of America to talk to me. Yeah. I'm walking the line better. Did you ride the roller coaster at the Mall of America? No, I didn't. It looks janky and old. It's like, everything's from like 20 years ago. It's inside? Yeah. Inside roller coaster? They have a water ride too. Jesus. How big is the mall in America? It's the biggest mall. No, Edmonton Mall in America. Edmonton Mall is bigger. In Canada? Mm-hmm. Wow. Yeah.

43:29That's the biggest mall in the world? I think so. How does Dubai, how do they tolerate the fact that we have the biggest mall? They must be going crazy. Is there really people driving around with lions in their cars in Dubai? Lions? Have you seen those photos of just like, Like Mercedes driving by with a big lion arm hanging out of the side. No, I haven't seen it. There's a new show called The Shas of Sunset. It's all Iranian. It's all the Persians that are here? Yeah. Okay, can I just say this? You can disagree with me if you want. I don't care. You can put this on the record. They're the worst of the whites. Whoa. Persians and Remedians. You are the Jewish Jew of all time. The way you said it. The worst. The worst of the whites. Of all the whites. By far. The way you said that, though. You so made a Jewy face. I'm becoming an old man. I'm becoming an old man set in his ways. I worry about that, man. I say something.

44:22I'm like, what are you saying? I'm like, oh my god, I'm an old guinea. I'm some old guinea. I'm becoming what I was supposed to become. They're the worst of the whites. I'll tell you, they're the worst of the whites. They were fine. They were having a good time. I mean, they seem like they were enthusiastic people. Oh, this show? You got to think about, yeah, the show. They're driving their dad's daddy laps. The fucking people. Working some store that was handed down to them. I am, listen, I am all for anybody coming from somewhere that sucks like Iran and coming to America. And guess what? They're going to have some fucking growing pains. They're going to have to, I mean, it's a completely suppressed culture. It's the ones that act overly that. Most people are fine. They're fucking balling for the first time ever in like, you know, six generations. You know, I mean, think about that.

45:12They've come to America over the last... I mean, look, the whole hostage crisis shit happened in the Carter administration, and then they stopped calling themselves Iranians. Because I had an Iranian girlfriend when I was young. She was Iranian then? She was Iranian. And then they changed it to Persian? And then they changed it to Persian. Why? Because they got a bad rap? Fucking nobody wanted to have anything to do with Iran, man. You don't know what it was like. At that point, like, when she was my girlfriend, this was like my first girlfriend ever, I was like 11 years old. She was this girl across the street, and her fucking mother... The mother was Iranian. She was half Iranian and half American. And the mother tried to stab the father with a knife while I was there. The cops got there. It was really crazy. It was a crazy little situation. She was a really nice girl, but they were in deep turmoil.

45:55Her family was in deep, deep turmoil. Really? Trying to get out? No, no. I mean, the mother tried to kill the fucking father with a knife. What? Yeah. Yeah. They got arrested while we were there. It was really crazy. but um the um my point was like i got to see like you know what it's like in their eyes to have escaped iran you know and iran was you know it's it's it's it's a fucking dictatorship i don't give a shit what anybody says all those votings and that's nonsense over there there's a reason why everybody erupted and and went fucking crazy after the last election there's no real democracy going on and that's great nothing anytime soon but no no there's not it's a scary place They excuse your behavior when you come into a comedy club late at night and say, I'll buy this place. Yeah, you know what it is, man? They're just like the guineas of the fucking 1930s. It's the same thing.

46:45Those are the second worst of the whites. Listen, that's my people. I'm a Jersey guinea. I was born in Newark, New Jersey, man. That's the whole environment. They're escaping something that sucks bad. Yeah. And so it takes them a while to assimilate to the greatest culture the world has ever known. Hello. Welcome to California. Hey. There's one time these five Persian guys came into the store late at night. I was sitting in the back row there, and Renazisi's working the cover booth. He was smoking a cigarette in the back row. It was like 1.30 in the morning. Jim Painter, the door guy, was on stage. And these guys come in smoking a cigarette, and we're like, hey, guys, you can't. Or Steve said, guys, it's a $20 cover. And they're like, oh, okay. And they sat there for a minute. He goes, guys, it's a $20 cover, and you can't smoke in here. You've got to go out.

47:29And they kind of gave this look of like, all right. And they walked towards the steps, waited there for like two minutes. and i just go get the fuck out you filthy persians oh and they just started rushing at me steve is holding back their kicks they were trying to spit at me a kick i'm trying to be cool and just sit there and their kicks were just missing me oh my god yeah i'm so mad at them i was like get the fuck you're so rich you've done nothing you're all 19 get the fuck out of here so where are they getting their money from dad what is what does dad do that worked hard because he overcame that shit You were talking about all they did was inherit them. There's a lot of problem with really rich kids You know like parent like a lot of parents of rich kids are not taking care of those kids Yeah, well they're they're children wear black on working a lot to don't let them wear black on black

48:17Yeah, it's like you're a douche stop look at your sweater. Oh, yeah You have the gay flag. Yeah, yeah, he's sitting on some picture pages. How could you possibly tell them what they're the worst They're the worst. What colors to wear, though? It's awful. They can't wear black on black? No, with three buttons undone. What if they're really nice people and they wear black on black? They would never act like that. They would never. My day. You waited for your wife to yell at you in the back. Ari, keep it down. You shut it in mind. Dad would never tolerate this. The neighbors can hear. You're going off. You're offensive. Ari. Oh, my God, dude. You're so hilarious. It comes out of me. I just visited my parents, man. That's why. Maybe if you were a Persian, you could get away with saying that. No. Why? That's just the answers, too. Right now, they're going to have some Persians mad at you.

49:09They're going to come to your show. Be less Persian-y. That's all I ask. It's only the ones. You know what I'm talking about. I do because, again, in your defense, I'm a guinea. I'm mostly Italian, and I don't like most Italians. There's a lot of them I like. Oh, you're Italian? Oh, you're Persian? No, you're fine. Yeah, there's a lot of them I like, but there's just this giant clock. I wouldn't even say it's most I don't like. I would say it's 30% I don't like. Yeah, it's like the militant Palestinians. It's just 30% douchebags. Yeah, they ruin it for everyone. That's all you think of now. And all these goddamn mob movies have just pumped those fuckheads up, those really dumb fuckheads. Entitles them. Do you know who I am? I'll come back there. I know people. Kill yourself. I know people. What? That's horrible. We stop it. Give me another line. Let's do this. Yeah.

49:56I wonder how much, you know, they say that the big mob in this country is the Soviet mob. And that they know how to keep their mouth shut. Yeah. It calls attention to their criminal behavior. Yeah. They don't walk around with fucking giant diamond rings on. And they're like very sophisticated in their forms of organized crime. Yeah. They're the most dangerous because they're like the computer dudes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And they're ruthless. Like, you know, that's a cold world, man. those people went through a lot of shit that we can't even begin to fathom. Those are those guys that are like get my pinky off, I won't even blink. Yeah, ouch. When we were in Japan I didn't see any pinkies cut off, did you? No, and everyone wore black. A lot of wearing black. Would you yell at the Japanese, no black on black? Black on black, wearing black pants and a black shirt. Everybody fucking wore black.

50:43Black pants on a black shirt. That's what I wear when I'm in the UFC. What is wrong with that? First of all, if you wore it out, yeah, it's a little douchey. Really? Black on black? You know, my friend Bud, that's all he wears. Black on black? His whole fucking wardrobe is black clothes. Like a black button down? He has black jeans, bro. It's okay for a black t-shirt and black jeans. I'm telling you, black sneakers. This motherfucker has black everything. He has a black car. His whole thing is that he only wears black. Okay, I want you to tell Bud something. If he does that, because I know what he's going for. This is all right. If he splashes a little bit of color in there, it'll really pop. Maybe some colorful shoes or some socks. Ari, you would never get your car murdered. Get my car murdered? Yeah. What do you mean? Like all blacked out? That's murdered is Matt Black. Matt. Oh, yeah. That cool color.

51:30I like that, man. Russell has that. He has Matt Gray. Really? Yeah. That's badass. I like it. I would like that. Maybe I should do my car, my GT3. Yeah. Get it Matt Black. Fuck that. Paint your house that way. Oh. Yeah. Like Marilyn Merritt's house. Damn, are you rolling dirty over there? What are you talking about? What's that mean? Oh, that's what they would say about your house? Yeah. And you'd be like, yeah, we're rolling dirty over there. what do you think you think we're not rolling dirty it's weird though like not shiny is like in now yeah people got tired of shiny shiny's gross that's why i don't wash my car really no i like shiny i like shiny you know what uh there's certain cars that look like spaceships to me when they're shiny yeah i mean like i saw a ferrari yesterday it was a one of these new four five eight italias they look like like it's like something from battlestar galactica it's got

52:20these crazy lights down the side. It's like $300,000. That's about a right amount to spend on a car. It's a house. It's transportation. But it's not, dude. It's not. It is not. It's a goddamn ride everywhere you go. It's a wild, screaming ride that makes the most marvelous noise. Those Italians, they have this fucking giant engine. It's a mid-engine. Yeah, that's the good part of Italians. And it's like, yeah, but I'm sure it breaks down like crazy. My people are not to be trusted with like like meticulous details of things they're not good at that they're good at the passion they're good at a crazy thing and impulsive stuff but it has this noise it's kind of drove by me it's like it's like this this wild so much attention animal noise man it's just such a beautiful like passionate noise but three hundred thousand dollars and it looks like a spaceship you know

53:11like the cars they're coming out with today they're they're slowly starting to look like what we thought cars would look like in the future you know for a while they'd be like you know like ford festiva what the fuck is this is not space this is not this is not interesting this is just some shit shitty looking box that you've created you know the older cars and older uh toyotas and chevys they're bad those mustangs for a while a lot of terrible shapes man but now they're finally figuring out a way to like make cars look everything except uh except the hybrids Yeah, they still look like shit. Except those Fiskars. Have you seen the Fiskars? No. Fiskars, I believe it's a Dutch company, and they've created the first, I think they're electric. I think one of them may be a hybrid, and one of them is fully electric. But they're really cool shapes. They're really wild looking.

53:59They have a sports car version of it, and they have a big badass sedan version. It looks almost like a Maserati. I'm just waiting until they get it to about 300 or 400 miles per hour miles range once they get that. Yeah, they're not quite there yet. Well, the real issue with them is, with these electric cars, is conflict minerals. The real issue is there's only a limited amount. Well, lithium ion is what you need to make those batteries. And there's not a lot of that shit around. And you've got to get it from places where people work for slavery. Oh, really? Yeah. Lithium ion. Most of it's coming from the Congo. Isn't that what's in batteries? In regular batteries? Lithium ion. Yeah. And laptops. Everything. Conflict minerals are one of the biggest crises. Conflict minerals. Conflict minerals. You're rechargeable? No. The idea is they come from Afghanistan. They come from Congo. Oh, from conflict places.

54:43Yeah, exactly. Like blood diamonds. Yeah, well, what people don't realize, you know, when you think about, like, you think about a laptop. There's a chain of things that has to happen and be put in place in order to create this laptop. And at the very end of the chain, this is going to be crazy. It's going to be hard for you to wrap your head around. But at the very end of the chain, the very end is a kid in Africa sticking a metal rod into the ground and chipping away rocks. like literally they're mining really like that's what they're doing yeah they're little kids that's lithium ion that's some it's coltran for cell phones oh that's so sad to think about and we all just say we'll put up with that well no people are trying to uh do things about that but first of all to go into the congo is very fucking dangerous nobody wants to do that and you know you want to

55:31go into afghanistan jesus christ that's fucking dangerous too so it's like you only have so many different ways of dealing with the situation. And obviously someone's in control over these minerals. I don't know what companies they are specifically, but I know those companies must be making an ungodly amount of money. They estimated that there's more than $1 trillion in unfound minerals in Afghanistan that they've discovered. Over a trillion in the mountains. So they've known about this. So they're just going to chip away at the mountains until it's all sold? I don't know. Once they start extracting it, then it becomes a big issue of like who's getting this money who's in control of this situation who's in control of this this piece of land we are it's a it's a huge well not really no i mean it's a huge factor and

56:15you know the the reason why we're over there in our in afghanistan in the first place economically that place is worth if the future is in technology and we're we're pretty sure it is yeah it's not like technology is gonna stop it's not like we're gonna stop evolving it and we're gonna need minerals. We're going to need these conflict minerals. I never even considered that. Yeah. It's a big issue. What do you think of that guy who shot up all those people in Afghanistan? Well, that guy, I read a whole story about him. If you don't know who he is, he killed I think it was 14 people? Maybe 16, 9 of them were children. Went into their homes. Yeah, went into their homes and just gunned them down. He was a U.S. soldier. He was a soldier and he was a soldier that quit his job in 2001 and signed up for the army after September 11th. Really? and they've still kept him in.

57:03Didn't he not want to go on this last tour? Exactly. Did it for all the right reasons. Did it because he wanted to protect his country and defend his country and thought this was my time to step up and contribute to America. And by all accounts, for the longest time, was like the greatest guy, was the life of the party. But he started after his first couple tours. He went to Iraq. He'd been shot in Iraq. And then he did not want to go to Afghanistan. He thought he was going to get a promotion and he thought he was going to get a better job back home, be able to come back home. And he was denied that. And he was, yeah, he knew that for his family or whatever. Yeah, and his family is back home. He has two kids and his house, apparently, they had to put it up for sale. And the people that went to look at his house was in complete disarray. He was becoming an alcoholic. Oh, really? Yeah, but look, Samantha,

57:52the fucking pressure of what these guys go through. To ask anyone to do it ever is crazy. To ask anyone to repeatedly do it over and over again They don't want to do it anymore This is his third tour out there, right? It's nuts I mean, this guy was Up until a certain point in time A hero And then he became a monster Yeah, the weird thing is People are sort of like Seeing this Like, what are we doing to these guys? Yeah And it almost seems as if We're like apologizing for his behavior And it's like, no What he did was completely wrong And horrible Yeah But let's also examine What puts a guy in this position Yeah Just for like a little bit You're totally right It's so complex I don't murder kids Like, you're fucking Whatever You're a piece of shit You should die And he became a piece of shit and he should die. But how did he become that piece of shit? Yeah, we did that. We trained at a talk dog.

58:33It's horrible that that guy became a piece of shit. It's horrible that he was forced into this terrible, terrible, unspeakable, unthinkable situation where he was seeing people die. He watched a good friend get his leg blown off that day. Really? Yeah, he had watched the guy get his leg blown off that day and then went drunk and went on a rampage. That's when he lost his shit. He, you know, the guy was, he was in trouble. and what they're saying is, had they not recognized this, I think because everybody's in trouble over there. They're all in war. Suicides are up there, though, like 80%. It's crazy. More soldiers have died at one point in time. I don't know if it's still the case, but more soldiers had died from suicide than had died from combat. Over there? Yeah. No way. It was at one point in time it was. Suicides, it was at least in Afghanistan it was. No, that can't be true.

59:25Yeah, it sounds like it wouldn't be, right? Yeah. I better not have made that up. How do I phrase this? Suicides. Total suicides, conflict, Gulf War, Meta, Death Squad. Casualties. No way. That would shock me. No way, right? I'll have to find out. Suicide claims more U.S. military lives than Afghan war. Yep. Suicide claims more. Yep. They've killed more soldiers. American military personnel are continuing to take their own lives in unprecedented numbers. As the war in Afghanistan and Iraq drag on, by as late November, at least 334 members of the armed forces had committed suicide in 2009, and more than 319 who were also killed in Afghanistan, or more than the 319 who were killed in Afghanistan, or the 150 who died in Iraq. Wow. 2008. Yeah, but it doesn't matter. That was at one point in time. Wait, 2009. This is 2010. Morehead died. More had died by suicide. More soldiers killed themselves

60:30than were killed in combat. Yes. Two years in a row. But that includes American soldiers and stuff? Still over here? It's all American soldiers. No, I'm saying still people over here? Or is that all people over there that were committing suicide? You know what I mean? Is it soldiers stationed in Hawaii? It just says American military personnel. That might be a lot. I think it's most of them that are over there, man. I think a lot of them have the same problems when they come back here, too. Yeah, it's got to be most of them there. Or have done time over there, yeah. Yeah, the traumatic stress disorder. That's so many. Yeah. Yeah, I was hoping I didn't make it up. Whoa. That's crazy. Wow. Listen to this. Before 2001, the Army rarely suffered 10 suicides per 100,000 soldiers. Now the Army suicide rate is 20 per 100,000. It's higher than the registered among males 19 to 29, gender age bracket

61:26The highest rate among the general population Wow So look man, it's obviously, it's fucking terrible over there And why? Why is it terrible over there? Oh there you go man, talking about shit you don't know Well this fucking country Is the baddest country in the world I don't know I don't know I know what I read So what's the problem? What I read is someone is doing something really bad. Why? That's a lot of people that can't suicide. Did you see the video of the first-person shooter helmet cam firefight? No. Dude, pull that up. It's crazy. Really? Yeah, helmet cam firefight. They have a video of a dude in Afghanistan. Oh, and by the way, I got a message from a guy on Twitter saying that him and his boys, who are over there in the military in Afghanistan listen to the show all the time. So I want to say, if you're over there, man, stay safe and get the fuck out of there. Don't kill yourself.

62:24Get the fuck out of there as quickly as you can. And, you know, Godspeed. And if you do get home and you got some shit fucking with you, apparently they've been doing a lot of studies on post-traumatic stress disorder and MDMA. So look into that. Look into, if you have post-traumatic stress disorder, there's a lot of studies now that are suggesting that you can get over it much more effectively with MDMA. Really? Which is ecstasy. Ecstasy is the street name for it. Yeah, there's a lot of people that are taking ecstasy and they're administering it to soldiers coming back for therapy. Wow. Well, you know, it gives you such a loving feeling that you can abandon all these terrible feelings of war. Well, definitely, if you're having those feelings, go seek a therapist because your mind is sort of messed up a little so you're not thinking straight. Absolutely. So those thoughts you get of like, let me just do this.

63:11Yeah. And you've got to be real careful about traumatic brain injuries. You know, there's another thing that happened to this guy. He had a traumatic brain injury, a truck accident. The truck flipped. And he had a significant enough injury that they called it a traumatic brain injury. I don't know the extent of it. But I do know from dealing with fighters. And he committed suicide? No, this is the guy that killed everybody. Oh, that guy. Yeah. It fucks with your judgment. Unquestionably, it fucks with your judgment. And your ability can be in as little as a couple hard concussions. It's just in your life. A couple can really deteriorate your ability to think. Some high school football players committed suicide and they think that concussions can lead you to real big brain failures if you don't really relax after them.

63:58Well, especially these guys who have concussions and then jump right back in the game and get multiple concussions in the same day. That happens. They said after a concussion, you shouldn't even listen to loud music or anything. You shouldn't watch crazy TV. You just sit there and read a book, do nothing. Yeah, you have to heal up your fucking brain, man. And there's not a whole lot of different things that they can do to help you other than time and nootropics, too. It's one of the things they do. They give them a lot of different nutrients. Like Bill Romanowski has a whole line based on that. It's called Neuro One. And this is one of the first nootropics I ever got into. No Name told us about it. Remember when we were up in San Francisco on Sarah No Name on the Alice Morning Show? Yeah. Great radio show that doesn't exist anymore. They were awesome together. They're done? They split up.

64:43The last time we did No Names, when I made him drink his piss. It was just No Name. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But my point was that he was working out with this Romanowski guy. Romanowski has suffered a ton of concussions. He's had many, multiple, multiple concussions. And he started looking into different nutrients that can aid his brain. Recovery. His recovery. and he created his own line called Nero One. Oh, that's cool. I used to take it all the time before I played video games. Really? Yeah. I used to take it all the time. That's one of the things that Mayhem said about Alpha Brain. That's what Mayhem Miller said. That's why I knew Alpha Brain's legit, dude. He goes, I took it, and he goes, I was on fire when I was playing video games. I was fucking people up. But I take it before I play pool. I would take Romanowski shit before I play pool. Really? Romanowski stuff tastes good, too.

65:33Remember when you got caught taking pictures with B.B. Jones? With who? BB Jones. Who's BB Jones? Porn star. Really? Oh, that was Gronkowski. Sorry. Gronkowski? Yeah. My fault. What the hell is he talking about? I don't know what he's talking about. Bill Romanowski is a different guy, I think. Yeah. Yeah, he's a famous football player. Oh, I thought you said you got caught. No, Gronkowski is a football player, too. I just got to mix it up. Oh, yeah. I see what you're saying. Yeah, Gronkowski, Romanowski. I hear you don't like white people. I see what's up. I was like, what are you doing? Yeah, you got to have it. They're the worst of the whites. Tell your friend Ted not to do that anymore. Just tell him not to. Tell him not to do... Black on black on black. Bud, I mean, not Ted. Yeah, no, Bud never wears anything but black, and he won't listen to you. He's a dangerous man. You don't understand. He's the man in black.

66:15You don't get it. Johnny Cash did it okay. Dude, he has a black American Express card. I shit you not... Because he loves it that much? Drives a black Cadillac with blacked-out windows. Why, is he gone? He's not a douchebag either. He's a nice guy, believe it or not. Why does he have to do that? He knows people that are in black ops. So what? Why did I change your life over it? I don't know. It's just this thing, man. I don't know. Yeah, it's odd. He's an odd dude. He just decided at one point in time to wear all black. And then he never switched. Some people don't like looking silly, man. They don't like looking silly. It's just come too easy. What is it? No, there's a specific type of black and black. It's just come too easy. I can't do it all black all the time. That would be gross. It shows come too easy? Oh, I know. You smear cum all over yourself. What are you just cumming all over yourself?

67:00But you know you come a little in it'll definitely get on your pants or sure yeah, that's a good point man I see what you're saying I wear a lot of white I'm just trying to like hide cum essentially Have you ever yeah, you've done it you've got a bit about it what come on myself no no like where you look down You're like dude this shirts got so much come on it. Yeah I watched it a bit about how I would just wear that shirt outside the house. Yeah. There was these two door guys in this door. Yeah, if anybody would say, what's on your shirt? What the fuck do you think it is, bitch? It's white and it's crusty and it's right near my dick. What's up? It happens more than you, like more than, like I think most people. I mean, do you feel like it happens more with you? Like I feel like it happens. How often are you jerking off on your shirt? No, I mean like I'm out and I see it more than.

67:51Oh, like you had sex and like there was a shirt nearby. Do you have sex with your clothes on? No, no, but I definitely want to take you to definitely like this at night I'm just like I got wiped this off and I grab a shirt and then forget and then like two weeks later I pick well this t-shirt. Yeah, you pick up teachers on the floor and wear them No, they float in the air No, see I think I think shirts have an hour life kind of I think somebody else talked about this to me once and I totally agree So if I have a shirt I wear the shirt right now If I take it off in an hour or so And put it on the floor I think I could still wear it again I wore the same shirt Friday and Saturday night T-shirt? Yes, but not really It was a t-shirt over a flannel Or over a thermal The reason I did it was because Saturday night It was Fitzsimmons Irish show I gotta wear green But the t-shirt you changed No, the t-shirt I kept on

68:50I wore the thermal underneath So the t-shirt was not on my body Yeah, yeah, that's okay. It just touched the thermal. That's okay. I just did it because I had a... Yeah, bottom layer, though. I only had one, and plus it's a dope shirt. Which one? It's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a Gracie Academy. Academia de Grey. Have you seen it? Like in Portuguese and... With that green sign on it, the Brazil? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like real faded. It's this Roots of Fight line. They have a whole line of like... You've seen Eddie with that, the Bruce Lee Kung Fu shirt? I think so. Yeah, I always loved it because it was like the name of Bruce Lee's first Kung Fu school that he had when he came to America. Oh, really? Yeah, and it's really badass. And so I went to their website, and they had a bunch of fucking cool shit. And so I bought this old-school Gracie Academy one. And then I got this one on right now.

69:34The one that I'm wearing right now. This was Hickson versus Kimura. Or excuse me, not Hickson. Helio. Hickson's dad. Hickson's the main guy, the originator. Excuse me. Helio versus Kimura from 1951. That's cool. I own zero Gracie clothes. Zero? Zero. Yeah, you had some tap out shit that you used to rock every now and then. I used to. I used to. And then when I saw a homeless guy wearing a tap out shirt, I was like, this might be too mainstream now. I saw a homeless guy in an Ed Hardy shirt. Really? Yeah. Some homeless guy today cheered me on. I went through a red light. Did they think you were the Great Space Coaster? No, I thought I was going to go through it. Like I'm taking him out to another dimension. I was going to go through it. It's like yellow. I'm like, nah, I'll just run this one. Were you wearing that sweater? I was wearing the sweater. But he starts doing the fist pump. And as I go through, he goes, yeah!

70:25He gives me the fingers. And I was like, yeah, man. Did they think you were the Nyan cat? Where's your test? It makes you think that there's so many homeless guys who probably could have been kind of cool. Yeah. In any other era, maybe they might not have been homeless. Maybe if they grew up in the 60s, they would have skated through and actually been okay and got a job. They must have some parts of them that are okay. I don't know. Could be 100% homeless. There's a lot of people becoming homeless now, though, man. This is a tricky time. There's more homeless people now, I bet. Yeah. There's actually people that I know that are homeless. Like comics. And it kind of creeps me out. I don't want to say it. Are they couch surfing? Yeah. That's not really homeless. That's homeless, dude. It is a little, dude. That's not having a house. It is a little. It is a little.

71:03And it sucks when you have one of those guys that lives in your house and you're never going to get them out. Yeah. It makes me sad. Especially since a couple of them are girls. And it's like, oh, you poor girls. But it's come to my lair. It's with me. Oh, Brian. You're getting dark on it. Did you put that out there on purpose? Hoping to attract females? Yeah. Let's do it. No, because that's scary. You're right. You called them up. No, that's scary because those couch surfers, they must have stinky ass pussies, don't you think? Because they probably don't want to use the shower as much because they don't want to get in people's hair. You know what I mean? They wake up early and probably go out for the day. The girls you're talking about? Yeah, yeah. Or people that couch surf. I've never had a couch surfer. I would just imagine that they would want to leave and get out of your hair and not really bug you.

71:41Okay, so someone who's only crashing couch, they don't have a bedroom in your house. I've only had people stay at my – well, I kind of had my friend Johnny stay at my couch a little bit back in New York. But most of the people that have stayed with me, they stayed in that extra room. They stayed for a week. Yeah, Duncan and Tate lived here. Yeah. Tate lived here for months. But it's great. It's great if you have a friend who's staying with you, and it's only for a short period of time. With a vacation, yeah. It's cool. I loved having both those guys here. It was fun. It was cool. Just have a buddy. You come home, your buddy's watching TV at your house. Well, you have a good house for it. Yeah, it's nice and segmented. Kurt Metzger stays with me when he comes to town. Yeah, he's a great guy. Perfect. You're excited about it. Yeah, it's fun. It'd be cool to live with Bert and Tom Segura.

72:25Except they have families, you fuck. No, they'd be the mommy and dad. I want to be your baby. That'd be so fun. They'd be the mom and dad and you'd stay outside. You mean just live with them? Just live with them. They were roommates? If you could break their marriages up, dude, we could make it happen. Let's get it going. All you have to do is break them up, man. They're happily married and shit, but whatever. They don't even know what's best for them. I did a podcast with Christina Brzezinski and I thought I lost. I thought I deleted it by accident before I marked it. I was so upset. She's funny as fuck, man. That's Tom Segura's wife for the... Did you guys kiss? For the underperform. No, we did not kiss. Did you ask her to smell it? I did ask her to smell it. Smell my cock real quick? No, no, my finger. I like that bit you do. Do you still do that bit about the doctor? About getting your penis checked out?

73:10The one that never made it. Never made it? Yeah. That's why I need to record an album. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. Can I tell it? Yeah, yeah, go for it. Ari had this bit where he would, did you have a, was she an attractive woman doctor? She was an Asian. She was an Asian doctor. Attractive woman doctor was looking at his dick because he had like some sort of lesion on it. Something. It was an ingrown hair. Yeah. Yeah. Something going on. And he just thought for a second about grabbing the back of her head while she was down on her knees looking at his dick. Yeah. And then he goes like, oh, like she would be like, oh, finally a real man. A real man took a chance. That's right. I was like, I don't want to because she's going to be mad. But like, what if she be into it? Yes! That's the problem. That's what kept Clinton alive during those fucking years in the White House. Yeah, Clinton was just whipping it out. Yeah.

73:59How many of the presidents do you think were like that? You know, there's a book Oh, so many! There's a book coming out that says Nixon's gay. Not only is it gay, they named the guy he was gay with. He had a long-term relationship with this one man. And then he took this guy with him everywhere. There's a really cute Latino guy. He took the guy with him everywhere. That's possible. I totally see that. I see Joe Pesci playing him. I barely remember when Liberace sort of like, was like, he's got AIDS. Or no, no, no, not Liberace. That other guy, Rock Hudson. Yeah. And people were like, what? That's how I remember it. Was he super gay beforehand? He's just real handsome. He was a real handsome movie star. Yeah. From like the, you know, the early days. And I think people just never believed. No. So there must be guys like that, like in Office 2. Of course. So you just don't want to think about it because of the times. Yeah.

74:44But it's like, yeah. They're pretty sure. This guy's pretty sure. He's going on a limb On this Nixon thing George Washington was good He's got a lot of photos Of George Washington I wouldn't believe that Spread it Spread it Lincoln shared a bed With a man Fuck him But apparently It was common back then Really The rusty trombone It's common now It's called homosexuality Well it's also They were cold as fuck Oh yeah I mean Lincoln was living In a fucking house Made out of sticks You know Yeah that's right Built his own fucking house There's not much weather proofing Yeah If you had to sleep With one president Who would it be Clinton I bet he knows That a slim dick That's good. Plus, he might be willing to bring some girls into the equation. You know, listen, man, you can fuck me, but can we get some girls, too? Shit. I was always attracted growing up to Andrew Jackson just because of his hair. Andrew Jackson? Yeah, on the $20 bill.

75:29It was kind of cool. Well, Washington had white teeth. Yeah. Like these crazy fake wooden teeth. What do they call it when black people have them? Caps? No, he had dentures. Oh, really? Yeah, they were, you know, like one of the first early dentures. You know, they didn't take care of their mouths back then. people's mouths their teeth would rot out of their fucking head they didn't know anything then no they didn't know shit if you had his appendicitis you would just die of that dead dead so no one knows what it is it comes on within a week you're dead yeah you're not they did you know they probably thought it was witchcraft all these people allergic to peanuts and all yeah with you know they just die off yeah allergies to milk see our our um our technology has overcome nature's way of getting rid of those people well i mean look the meek shall inherit the earth i mean that as a quote

76:13is it sounds silly. It sounds biblical. It sounds like, oh yeah, sure they will. But physically meek, but mentally strong. Physically weak, but able to manifest all sorts of incredible things out of technology. And that's really what's going on. And in manifesting all these incredible things out of technology, the body has less and less requirements physically. So they become meek. They become meek and their computers and technology become strong and they inherit the fucking earth. it's that simple you know that that's really what's happening and it's what's going to happen and along the way they're gonna figure out cures to every fucking disease or people are alive or or the the strong people will just start bashing the fuck out of the smart people that's possible too that's possible too but then eventually they would breed smart people we're in a middle state

77:03right now because i wouldn't say it's the smartest people controlling the world right now it's just the cunts smartest people that ever been smartest cunts oh yeah but they're cunts you know they're Really smart people like Bill Gates, and they're not really controlling the world. I mean, they have a massive business and everything like that, but they're not directing overseas campaigns to get these minerals and fuck up governments. No, you know what he's controlling, Bill Gates? Curing malaria. Yeah. Fucking great things. Great things. He's just donating billions of dollars. Isn't it amazing how Steve Jobs always got the reputation as being the cool guy who's green and great for the world? Meanwhile, Bill Gates is the guy that's donating money for schools and donating. He's done crazy humanitarian shit. malaria research institute whatever it's called they're like we're done without him as soon as he

77:45stops giving we're out it's amazing yeah have you seen his house oh no the house in seattle what's it like dude oh my god what's it like there's a design for it online it's fucking incredible it's built first of all he has a submarine what that's what i said what he's got a door underneath his fucking house where he can like open up and and what and bring the fucking submarine up. It's just not crazy. Like it opens. He can bring it in. Like in those old Sea Lab shows or whatever where they came in. Hope I didn't make this up. What if he's just crazy? Yeah, I got a door. I hope I didn't make this up. Yeah, it's incredible. Wow. So you can go right to build a garage for a submarine. Yeah, it's on like a sound. It's on a sound. It's on like the ocean or a lake or something like that. And it's this amazing fucking house. Like the top of the line technology. In every room, you walk in, you wear a pendant

78:39and the pendant gives your particular ID out to all these different sensors. So as you enter a room, your particular lighting comes on. Bill Gates has. It goes to your temperature. Your music starts playing. So, wow. That's pretty cool. That's what I'm saying. So you leave one room, I'll come in. We're talking about Bill Gates' house. Oh. Is that what you said? Yeah. You're such a fucking space case. I was thinking about which president I wanted to fuck. Yeah, Bill Gates. Yeah, Bill Gates is like that. We were talking about Bill Gates. Yes, I know, but I was still thinking about which president I wanted to fuck. Dude, that happens on POTS sometimes if I'm talking to somebody, and they'll be yapping, and my mind will just go elsewhere. I'll be like, hey, can you back up 30 seconds? I didn't hear any of this. See, I was thinking like JFK, but I don't know if it was just like the Instagram colored look

79:29of all the film that you see JFK in. It's kind of cool, but I think I would say Lincoln just for that, because that's kind of cool to sleep with Lincoln. You know JFK would probably the most likely to fuck you He was living in crazy times. You were allowed to fuck any of them. Yeah, they weren't JFK apparently was like the biggest freak of all time. I already had a comment on that. Oh, you would fuck them? Physically fuck them? Yeah, you would have to fuck them. No, no, no, they get to fuck you I thought. Oh, you have to fuck them? No, you'd fuck them. Oh, then Grover Cleveland and one of those fat guys. I'm gonna fuck Nixon. Nixon? I'm gonna fuck Nixon. Why, should I get the secrets out of him? Just to fuck him. Now, which one would you want to make love with? I like it Lincoln Because you freed the slaves And you probably Had already Had experience with men Right Ari What about you I mean like

Syphilis Yeah yeah yeah That's right Yeah guys Yeah syphilis would kill people Have you ever seen like Pictures of people Who have like really Like long term Like advanced syphilis It's horrible Yeah It's disgusting Yeah it's an evil disease It's crazy We give each other diseases By fucking It really is It's nuts It just attacks that area And you can't That's like a lot of them That's the only way to get it

80:58You don't get herpes By shaking hands No You know But you can get a flu by shaking hands. Shook a dick's hand, you probably could. Shook a dick's hand. Yeah, no. If you actually touched a herpes dick or herpetic penis, you'd be fine. No, if you had a cut on your finger. No, there's no hand herpes. Yeah, you're right. There's no hand herpes. You sure? No, you wouldn't get it on your hand. Lips and dick. Lips and dick. It's weird. It has to be like an open area. Why would that be? I don't know, because those areas are... Yeah, but the genital herpes, that's all over the place sometimes, right? No, just in your genitals. Really? Just genital area. No, you can get it in your legs, too. In your legs? You can get it in your eyeball. Yeah, there's a type of it. Yeah, and you can get it in your forehead, too. There's like shingles, too, which is another advanced form of herpes. Yeah, it's a different kind of herpes.

81:40You're a jerk. The worst thing I ever got was warts. I think you can get shingles on your back. Those are going to just burn off. Yeah, they cook those. But then you have that juice inside you forever. You would fuck Obama if it ever comes out. You'd fuck Obama? I just see Ari wanting to fuck Obama. Oh, I didn't consider Obama. Yeah, you'd go black. Of course. I would let people off my back so much. Did you see the video of the guy who claimed that he was Obama's lover, that they had shared oral sex? No. Yeah. Really? In Chicago. Yeah. You ever heard this guy? No. Pull it up. Pull it up. I could see that. Obama's gay lover. Just pull up in Confessions of a Gay Obama Lover. Yeah, the guy was so ridiculous. Damn, he's got a nice ass. Does he? Confession of Obama's gay lover? they were interviewing him about it and he it's just so ridiculous yeah that's the guy my name is Larry Sinclair regards to the Obama incident

82:34this is a Judge Apatow movie I surah out of Colorado Springs, Colorado to Chicago on November 2nd, 1999 arriving in O'Hare early in the morning of November 3rd I went to the Chicago area to attend the graduation of my godson my best friend's son from basic training from the Great Lakes Navy Training Facility. I made reservations at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Gurney, Illinois, based solely on the location to the training center. On November 5, 1999, I hired the service as a five-star limousine. Weiner and Diner. A lot of details on this guy's story. I had hired them both for November 5 and November 6 of 1999. It's a tension building now, yeah. On November 6, 1999, I asked the limo driver, whose name I now reveal for the first time, Jagir Parameet Mutani. You just learned how to pronounce it. I had anyone who would like to socialize and show me Chicago.

83:27Mr. Mutani understood that I was looking for someone who knew Chicago and would enjoy socializing. Mr. Mutani said he knew someone who was a friend of his. On November 6, 1999, after picking me up at the hotel in Gurney, and this is significant, Mr. Mutani used his cell phone to make a call. That call was made to then Illinois State Senator Barack Obama. There we go. To set up an introduction between myself and Senator Obama. Upon arriving at the bar and exiting the limo, Senator Obama... Is he claiming to be a hooker? You! Can you just hit the space bar? No. Doesn't work? Yeah. Whoa, hold on. Yeah. What just happened? The guy's saying that he fucked Obama. And so he gave all those details in order to be corroborative? Yeah. Well, he gave all those details because he's a moron. Yeah, it was such a long part of this. Kiss and tell, buddy. Well, also, when you're doing a press conference,

84:19you have 20 minutes to kill. So this guy called. He got his limo driver to call, hey, show me some good fucking. Give me some good dick. And Obama's like, man, you let me know when someone's looking for dick. Oh, you drive a limo? Oh, you drive a limo? I'm a senator, and I'm thinking about being a president. But if you see some dick, I'll abandon all that shit. I don't believe it. No, of course not. The guy's nuts. The guy, he reeks of being full of shit. And he's not just like, we had a relationship in college. It's like, he's a random call me up and I'll just fuck somebody. That's, maybe. Probably not. The story is so preposterous. What if it was real? Do you think he took gay sounding lessons from the Republican convention? He has to act like this? I don't believe that it's real, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. Because look at what happened with Clinton.

85:09Who would have ever believed that there was a president and he was in his 50s and he was in the White House, and he was having a 20-year-old girl blow, and they were shooting loads on her dress. Who would have believed that? Yeah, no way. Jim Poppers. Sucking a cigar in and out of her. Who would have believed that he would have thought she would have kept her mouth shut? I mean, come on. She did. It was the other one who dragged her in, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. The ugly chick, the ugly friend. Think about that position that he was in. The President of the United States is literally at the top of the food chain of human beings on the planet as far as the most prestigious position in the world. Period. It just is. I don't care how much you love being from Ireland or England or wherever you're from. Top ten. Even if you don't respect it. The Pope. The President. Jordan. President of bombs.

85:59President and you control the military. There's no comparison. Pope's a joke. Pope's got religious nuts though. He gets those chicks. They can kill them with bombs. If there was a war between them. There's a war between the President and the Pope. The President wins every time. He just sends all those pictures I don't know They've saved up for years Of all those guys Getting their dick sucked By little boys They just release those All over the internet And there's a massive campaign Against the Vatican Yeah they're not Immediately If there was ever a position Where the United States Went to war with the Vatican We wouldn't use bombs We would use pictures Of them blowing kids Release more and more Of those over the five year period They didn't have to be real man I mean how many Fucking Photoshop artists Are there that work For the military Luckily there's plenty That they can find That are real Because they're constantly

86:39Doing it I'm sure All you have to do Is set hidden cameras up follow these fucks wherever they go and you're going to find a certain percentage of them really all you have to do is give them all flip phones and I'm sure some of them will just record themselves well you know I've heard it argued online especially and it's really a fucking potent argument a scary argument that the entire Catholic religion at its highest levels exists for all these gay guys I can believe that they covered it up at the highest level they not just covered it up and sent the guy in the way covered it up and sent him to rape more kids yeah it's a culture That's from the Vatican. A lot of them accept it. A lot of the boys accept the position. So a lot of the boys like it. And so they think that it's good. They think that they're doing a good thing. There's literally things that Ratzinger saw. Ratzinger, who's the guy who's the Pope right now.

87:25Pope Benedict. Oh, the Nazi one. He's my Hitler Youth. No big deal. No big deal. Whatever. But there's letters by this fucking guy that this guy had under his review where these cardinals or bishops or whatever the fuck they were were actually specifically targeting boys that had come from broken families. They were asking for boys from broken families. Because they wanted people that couldn't fight back as much. They didn't have anywhere to go. They didn't have a family that they can call. They didn't have a father that would come over and beat your ass. Those are the people choosing how you act in your religion. How long that lasts and what you have to do this year and whether or not condoms are legal. Those are the people choosing. you can't be Catholic anymore you can't silly bitches you just can't be another Christian it's so dumb it's all dumb but Catholicism is one of the worst it's a cult of people

88:20who are dressed up like fucking genies they're dressed up like these crazy wizard outfits with giant fish head hats and they're waving golden wands it's 2012 and these assholes are dressed up like they're like a fucking harry potter character yeah i mean it's preposterous the idea that that still exists and we still take that seriously my god that's incredible i mean it's it's really incredible and you know people go oh you're so ignorant you know you hate religion you hate i i hate everything that stinks like shit yeah and that's all that stuff you can't even bring something up it goes against them if there's a guy you don't want to have to give people fucking birth control if we're Christian. Yeah. It's like, if I'm Jewish, I don't have to let people get bacon with the money I give them? What are you arguing about? Well, all the fucking Christians don't let anyone do anything. They think they run everything.

89:14You can't get birth control to girls because Catholics don't want to have to offer that to people. Well, Catholics think that birth control is actually bad. So then don't take it. The Pope tells you that you're not supposed to be using condoms. You're not supposed to be using birth control. You're supposed to be having sex for procreation only. Yeah, So that's what they should do. It's got nothing to do with what your employees need. That's why boys have a boy pussy. If you're a Christian scientist, you can't deny all health care to your workers because you don't believe in health care. Yeah, well, there's... You just don't do it yourself. There's certainly that. That's certainly a problem if you're an employer. But I think overall, the real problem is that it's an ideology. And it's an ideology that's based on just some shit that's written down. And the idea that there's a God is not a preposterous idea.

89:56If you look at the underlying code of the universe, It's really the whole Fibonacci sequence that reoccurs in nature over and over again, this constant drive towards complexity. It may be very well coincidence. Or it may be that there's some sort of an impossible to decipher grand plan to it all. And it might not be a deity as far as how we look at it like being a person. We anthropomorphize. That's what we do when you have an animal and you put it in a human context. I mean, whatever, however you would describe that, putting a god, a deity into a human context, I think that's ridiculous. I think the idea of it even being remotely like our consciousness is ridiculous. But it's not ridiculous that there's some sort of a higher order. It doesn't seem to me. But what's ridiculous is all these stupid old stories that everybody's basing their life on. Circumcising kids and not eating pork and, you know.

90:52What are you talking about? No water during the day and shut up. There are zero proofs for this. You can do it if you want, but don't fucking tell anyone else. Who cares what anyone else does? They don't have to do your shit. It's stupid. That's what it is. It's dumb. But the problem is there's a lot of people out there that really have a hard time thinking for themselves. And they are happier when someone comes along and they offer them a predetermined pattern they can follow. That's why religion works for a lot of people. All right, so do it yourself. Don't force on anybody else. It's stupid, but do it yourself if you want to do it. And then I think the problem with that is that when someone's doing something, they want other people to do it too. It's like when dudes go vegan and they get douchey with you. How many times have you ever heard that happen? But they're happy that you're not vegan. Sometimes.

91:33They're happy that they can look down on you in some way. I've had guys like, come on, man. You really need to try this. You really need to. Come on, man. I'm like, you need to get the fuck away from me. If I don't eat these animals, are they going to live forever? Is something going to happen? Are they going to cure cancer, you stupid fuck? Like, what are you saying? You're not going to kill animals. What if plants would scream when you cut them down? Would you still eat them? What if they made like a... As you cut the lettuce out of the ground? What if it... Oh, that'd be freaky. What if they moaned? Yeah, would you be upset? What if they loved it? This is what I was going for. But there's something, when someone becomes something, when they become a Republican, when they become a Windows user, when they switch on a Sprint, they want you to do it too. Everybody.

92:16There's a lot of people that are weak like that, man. They feel better when everybody else is doing the same shit they're doing. If they're dressing like Johnny Cash, they want everybody else to dress like Johnny Cash, too. Yeah, you can tell them, like, literally, this is the only car that fits into my carport. They're like, dude, no, you make a mistake. You need to buy American, bro. Or they're like Ford over Chevy. You ever hear? I'm a Ford guy, bro. Well, that makes a lot of sense. Why? You decided when you were six? I'm a Ford guy, bro. I'll always be a Ford guy until I die, bro. You know what's funny is Ford Escorts. Remember how gross that car used to be? And it was called an Escort. The Escort was the worst car. It's like the grossest car ever. And you called an escort? That was before escorts were escorts. Back then, they were prostitutes. They called after the car? They were still escorts back then.

92:58Have you ever tempoed an escort? I don't know. Things like that. Tempoed an escort? Tabernacle. Tabernacle. I can't even remember. Tempo. Tempoed an escort. Did you ever have an escort? I almost bought an escort. No, I never got an escort. I've never had somebody walk around with me. Oh, a car you mean? Yeah. Ford is the only company that didn't take money from the government in these bailouts. and they're still doing great. Who paid them back already? Somebody already just paid them fully back. No, it's not true. Nobody paid back? They try to say that they paid them back fully, but apparently there's a lot of funky malarkey that I don't understand it. I'm not a big financial guy, but the way it's been explained to me is like, no. It seems like they've clearly taken away the idea that we have any say in it. So it's like, all right, whatever. Let's actually find out so that we don't misinform people.

93:43Auto bailout, bailout, payback, right? Right. Your mouth is agape. I feel like you're about to murmur I went to the hardware store list You know who has a house like that? Okay, here's the issue While we're still on the subject Because I did know there was something wrong about this In the Washington Examiner They have an article The truth behind Chrysler's fake Auto bailout payback And apparently there's a lot of fucking Funny accounting Really? American taxpayers have already spent More than $13 billion bailing out Chrysler the Obama administration already forgave more than $4 billion of that debt when the company filed for bankruptcy. Taxpayers are never going to get that money back. But how is Chrysler going to pay off the rest of the $7.6 billion they own in the Treasury Department? The answer is the Obama administration's bailout agreement with Fiat gave the Italian car company

94:39an incremental call option that allows it to buy up to 16% of Chrysler stock at a reduced rate. But in order to exercise that option, first it had to pay back at least $3.5 billion of the loan to the Treasury Department. So it's all like... Fiat is renting them. Exactly. It's not like Chrysler became ballers and paid all the money back and like, thanks, it worked. There's a lot of other shit going on behind the scenes. People are buying things and selling things. You should pee. Ari Shafir. I would love it if America made all the best shit. I would think it would be amazing If we could pull out of this And all of a sudden make fucking badass cars I would like to support that If you buy a German car You know that those people They're not slave labors But if you buy a car If they start selling cars that are made in China Like Foxconn starts making cars That's a tricky situation to be in

95:37I would way rather pay more If I could afford it of course Way rather pay more If I knew that the people who made my car got a good wage wouldn't you i i've always bought fords i i like fords i want to get a ford mustang next i think that or a charger i i've i've always bought fords you know chargers not a ford boy yeah i know that's a chrysler i know that's chrysler's full of shit didn't you hear what i just chrysler looks nice they look dope that charge is one of the best shapes out there they nailed it they they made a modern version of the 1970s and 1960s muscle car they did it they fucking nailed it they nailed it with the camaro too the new camaro nailed it i saw it crazy looking a red one with black stripes the other day. I saw a yellow one the other day. Aubrey was driving one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're great. They're great shape. I wouldn't buy a yellow car, though.

96:21I wouldn't buy that car, yeah. There's something about a yellow car that just, man, it's hard to prove you're not a douchebag. Mine's orange, man. I've got nacho orange. At least all the Mexicans love me, but it's like a creepy orange. Nacho orange, all the Mexicans love you? Is that what you call it? Fiesta orange. Fiesta orange is what Ari calls it. Fiesta orange? Because it feels like a fiesta. Yeah, it's like going, getting Doritos. I'm driving Doritos. Do you think that they just had like an extra gallon of that paint? I think so. We got to use it. That's why I got it so cheap because it was that color. But now I want to murder that car. It's a muffin. That car is great, Ryan. You have a great car. Yeah. For an American car also, that's amazing. Yeah. It's nice. It's about as nice as it gets except for the new Cadillacs. The new Cadillacs are just about the best American cars that have ever been built. Yeah.

97:04There's some new Cadillac CTS-V and the CTS-V Coupe. You're in Blade Runner. Yeah, Romney has nine of those. is nine of them yeah i'm joking he said his wife had two cadillacs when he's trying to relate to the u.s auto workers oh really yeah did he really say that he goes in fact i own an american car in fact my wife drives a cadillac in fact she drives two cadillacs and you see all his advisors going god damn it mitt you stupid why couldn't you say one you dumb cunt he also said this the same thing he goes he goes uh i love auto racing i've always loved obviously i've been a big fan a lot of my friends are owners of don't say no don't say that why you're killing us hey do you want to go racing have you ever uh to race cars yeah get in cars and go around a track remember that what's it called place did you go in that what a call place oh atlanta we went to uh yeah

97:52ar was with me when we did uh yeah i went around the track we um i uh did some sort of a hosting thing for a mini cooper versus porsche challenge it's a race that they had in a really closed circuit so like the big engine of the porsche didn't allow it to overtake the mini cooper which of speed it was all just about agility and real usable speed it's pretty fucking impressive that a mini cooper was only like a couple of seconds behind a porsche in this this race around these cones i love those guys too they're like yeah i was like are you guys gonna win they're like we'll see and then like they didn't they didn't think they were gonna win they're like probably not they didn't even they just made a party for their owners well they didn't even get the sport version mini cooper really no they had a wagon version have you seen the wagon one that's actually really

98:34have a regular version they're great apparently they're like they had like all the people from like the Mini Cooper clubs and all that shit come down. Because people get fanatic about those cars. Just like clubs and shit. They're apparently the most fun to drive. They had a barbecue. Yeah, they made parking lots. They invited any Mini Cooper owner to come down. You just get free barbecue. I got a chance to drive it a little bit, but it was only around this small course. But they're like real agile little cars. It's like a go-kart. It's so small and so light. There's something fun in that, man. So what's this? I remember I just got so high. I was like, you were like, I got to work. So you do whatever you want to do and yeah, I was just get obliterated in Atlanta We got obliterated I had no work to do hot as fuck that day. Remember how hot it was

99:15Yeah, it was well during rice atlanta gets that crazy funky hot wait, so when are you going racing? I don't know I have a friend who I mean they're not I want to like have a competition or anything like that Just go around track chicken chicken Oh, I want to in Burbank. They have adult go-kart indoor adult go-kart track Really? That'd be pretty fun. That'd be cool. I guess they go really fast. The owner of the ice. How fast do they go? I don't know. Owner of the ice house does it. Okay. Yeah. Let's do that. Yeah. You know, there's a laser tag place up here too. They still have laser tag? Yeah. Look at what we're planning. We should do all those things though. No. We should do all those things. What about shoot guns? You ever shoot guns? Paintball. I have. I love shooting guns. Why don't you do that? Let's go shoot guns. I want to shoot fish. Gun range? Yeah. In a barrel? Fish.

99:59No, like put fish up and then try to shoot fish so they explode. In the air? Like dead fish. Why would you do that? It's a waste of fish. Like toss things up? Better target. Pick a gross fish. Filthy American. How dare you? I'll fire guns into the air. Guns in the air? Just shoot them in the air? Is that what you mean? Like pull and just throw a fish up? No, no, no. Put them on a target and then shoot them from far and try to blow up a fish. Oh, you don't mean throw them in the air and then try to shoot them out of the sky? No. I went skeet shooting with Sean Miller in Indianapolis. Yeah. It was so much fun. Oh, it's great fun You pull and you just And you see it explode It's exciting You're like Yeah, it's like I mean, when you play pool And you make it You know, you make the pine ball Like, ooh And everyone hangs out there They have like a pro Like area You know, everyone hangs out Just like in pool People would hang out

100:44Or any place Where people would just chill A golf room Yeah, I have a buddy, Justin Everyone's into it Who does these They have like competitions Where you go through Like a maze Yeah And like things come up Like a Oh, nice Like a cow And you blast them And you get like a score and then you go like into a certain area. Well, this is Bullets. Yeah, that was the cop. What was the cop movies? Cop movies? Oh, yeah. You killed a civilian again. Yeah. What were those cop movies? Lethal Weapon? No, no, the funny ones with Steve Guttenberg. Turner Hitch? With Steve Guttenberg. Steve Guttenberg. There were five of them. Police Academy? Police Academy. Yeah, they had to go through those courses. Steve Guttenberg. And Tackleberry, who died. There was this thing on Halloween where you would pay money and they had like a hundred people dressed up as zombies and you're on top of a building and they all just start coming towards you

101:31and it's paintball and you just shoot them. Charge them. Oh. Yeah, so they just like, it's like you're getting swarmed. Where is this? It was in Santa Monica. Wow, that's a great idea. They wanted us to come down because we were going to have them on the podcast. That's a great idea. And then what do they do when they get a hold of you? No, you just shoot them. They're dead. They're slowly climbing up, you know, and you just... And then they have to fall when they get shot? I don't know. I didn't do it. So they're slowly coming in on you like the scene from Thriller. Yeah, they're hoarding you. This is like Call of Duty. Whoa, that's dangerous, man. They're eventually going to have a game, like the world's most deadly game. Remember that movie? The Deadliest Game, whatever it was. I think they redid it with Ice-T. Yeah. They redid it with Ice-T. Was it Nick Nolte and Gary Busey also was hunting them? Was it?

102:13Ice-T was the one being hunted. Oh, yeah. That's when Ice-T had like crazy dreadlocks. Remember? Yeah, but there was an old version of it. It's like the Deadliest Game is really old. It was like a Russian military guy who was like crazy and depraved. He wanted to hunt everything. Brought these people to his island and would hunt them down. And the reason why I remember this is because I've been watching this show called Naked City. Have you seen this show? Not that one. Oh, Hidden City. Sorry, not Naked City. Hidden City. Yeah. Hidden City is all this Marcus Shackey guy. He's a crime novelist. And he goes to all these different towns and finds out like the really fucked up stories in this town. like all the crazy murders and shit that haven't been solved. And one of them was a dude who would pick up hookers, and he would take them in a plane in Alaska, pick them up, handcuff them, put them in his plane,

103:03and then fly them to an island and let them loose, and then he would go and hunt them. Really? Yeah. He would bring a rifle, and he would let them loose and just go, you better run, you better run. You better fucking run, I'm coming after you, bitch. And then he would go after them, he'd hunt them, he'd track them down. They'd be like in the snow, so he'd be like tracking them. Yeah, but it was like the thrill of actually track them fucking blow them away and then he would keep their Licenses and shit and that's how they caught him. What he went into his attic his attic He had a driver's licenses of all these different women that he killed because they had searched this place once They couldn't find anything and they had a search this place again And when they search this place again, they found it in the attic

103:42They can't help themselves. They say those people want to be caught, but I don't think that's what it is I think they just like keeping them mementos. Well, they look at back at those mementos and they have they get excited trophies yeah i don't think it's like i'm looking to get caught though i think they're looking not to and keep these things you get more complacent the more you do it i blame my mom she always had like that book when you're a kid and i had like a little lock of your hair and stuff like that i always was attracted like a lot of locks of hairs you know with the girls that i date what would you ever would you ever if it was on the menu would you try human meat no no you would never do it it's supposed to taste just like pork really yeah and you can always eat pork so why would I try human meat? I don't want to know what that tastes like. Wow. Apparently though You obviously would.

104:23It must be distinguishable because well you can go to Liberia and you can get some apparently. Yeah, go crazy. Not anymore. The war's done now. The war's done so they're not serving any more human meat? Charles Taylor's in The Hague. Charles Taylor's the guy who was the horrible war criminal. He was the badassest one. Crazy fucking name. Charles Taylor. Yeah. Sounds like the guy who like created peanuts. They destroyed their own infrastructure. They were just they needed stuff to tie people up with. So they just used telephone wire. They would cut it down and just use that. So they're like, oh, now we have no telephone lines. Jesus Christ. They had to test their rockets out. So they're like, let me show you how much I can blow up this dam. And then you show me how much that rocket can blow up this dam. They blow up their... They just blow up dams. They're so stupid. Yeah. The whole... The Liberia is so frightening.

105:05And the fact that it used to be a US slave colony. Really? Yeah, that's how it started. It's all better now. Slaves came from Liberia. Wow. From America and went back to Africa. Yeah. Wow. It's better now? in what way charlestale is gone they're trying to like redo everything still a mess man they had that vice guide to liberia was pretty recent they were over there it's still crazy really yeah this is parts of the world where how the fuck do you fix africa look at all the different like look at uganda look at i mean that's a long long long project they want to give jews uganda get them jewish they want to give the jews uganda instead of israel yeah so listen figure this place a lot to talk about that. When was this? 60s. No, no, no. Way before that. I guess the 40s and 30s. So before Israel. After the war, they were like, we need to give them some place to go. Clearly, we've shown enough times.

105:55So how do you... Explain to me how the whole Israel thing worked. Because at one point in time, the Palestinians lived there, but no, Jews lived there already? How did that work? There were a bunch of different migrations. Well, Jews lived there and Arabs lived there a long time ago. And then one of the Roman kings came and dispersed the Jews. Kill them Yeah Well no just Like say extinguish something Get out of here Go to Europe Go to Africa Just go Kick them out of Israel Kick them all out What year was this? This we're talking about like This is way after Jesus I think I think Because Jews were around When Jesus was there Way after Jesus And after one temple was destroyed Then the Jews wouldn't go back Until they rebuilt the second temple Then they did Then they came back When that was destroyed And they were kicked out Like they slowly Started coming back here or there

106:42So like in 1910, there was a big migration 1912 big migration of European Jews to Israel What temple was it where the Romans got all the way up to the top and the Jews killed each other Masada What wasn't a temple it was it was a it was the last enclave of defense. They were like resisting So what did they do? What was the story? They went up there. It was one of those things that one of the Roman kings built for like this getaway this week sweet getaway it's really awesome actually they have these hot baths and they would like empty out the part of the mountain underneath it so they could heat it up and so they would go up but the ceilings were curved down because they knew that if they were flat the water drops would hit and just form and then hit you it was really unpleasant so they made them all curved so the water would run down the curved ceilings and not drip onto you

107:31yeah just really great design things but anyway as the Jews were being pushed out saying convert or leave or die. I guess some of them, the last defenses, pushed back to there. And they realized there's only one way up. So they could just shoot down arrows at people. At the Romans, they couldn't get up there. Until they started using Jewish slaves as human shields and then started marching up. But also there, they had enough food and water to last them for so long. So they were like, we'll wait you out. We'll just wait you out for years. They just hadn't surrounded well like that that much yeah, they're that much supplies And then eventually when I think the human slaves are then they were like alright, we're not gonna kill our own So what are we gonna do and I think they just they all killed each other well

108:15We're not gonna kill our own so we'll kill our yeah, we'll just all commit suicide. We're dead anyway So how'd they commit suicide with the use these words right swords? Yeah, is that what it was? A lot of it wasn't it maybe where they get poison. It wouldn't be poison Where they have that much poison? Yeah, I don't know that they was laying around I know that it was done in a very primal way It could be swords. It could have been swords. And I know the last guy had to do it to himself. And they had to choose who was going to be that last guy. Wow. Oh, that's what it is. They don't want to commit suicide because you don't go to heaven. So you would kill another person so you don't have to kill yourself. So the last guy. The last guy had to commit suicide. Or he just didn't. And he's like, look at all these Jew shields everywhere. Well, you just run at the Romans. Like, come on, bitch. Yeah, death by cops.

108:54Or go, oh, you guys came up this way? I came up back over there. The Jews are all dead. That's probably what I would do. It's crazy. Let's get out. He stole my clothes and then died. Wear a Roman outfit. Wow. What a fucking crazy time to be alive that must have been. Yeah. You had to give them your religion or die? Yeah. Isn't that amazing? I didn't give up my religion. I can't even go to church. What are you talking about? It's so easy. It just shows you that people have always had that weird desire to have everyone else think exactly the way they thought. Yeah. And it makes them feel more secure. Christians. More Christians. Christians. More Christians. The Jews actually never proselytize. We don't. that's amazing isn't it yeah why is that because your religion is just as silly as anybody else's based on the same things yeah as the christians so how come they figured out to like keep to

109:40themselves they said like you don't have to do this there's no reason you should if you want to you can but we're not going to try to push you it's like do whatever you want the time of david they outlawed it outlawed conversion wow it was too popular too popular everybody wanted to be a jew just because it was like they were the ruling party really yeah damn so they outlawed it so they and no conversion during this time god for how long i don't know please i'm fine yeah i don't know now you have to do that you have to ask a bunch of times i'm just hanging out i don't like these people you have to do that now you have to do that worst of the whites yeah i don't want to be that you pretty much have to do that the rabbi will tell you like don't don't do this you don't want to do it really you can't eat big macs you can't just trust me you don't want to do this you

110:18can't eat big macs yeah if you're a jew you can't eat big macs religious jew you know you're supposed to eat hamburgers that what it is it's not kosher meat and it's cheese on there too oh oh so just That in general, but you could have kosher beef burgers. You could have a kosher beef burger. With soy cheese. Oh, the cheese. What is it? You can't combine milk and meat? Is that what it is? What's that all about? It's pretty much stupidity, just like all the religions. But it's based on a passage that says you shall not mix the milk of the mother with the meat of the calf. Huh. Yeah. That wasn't about porn instead or anything else? Some sex take that just to be that it's that actual mother and calf. Yeah, but that's the case. Why can't you get the milk from the mother and then kill the mother and eat her? It's the milk of the mother and the meat of the mother. That's all right? I don't really get it.

111:06But they just, no meat and milk together. No meat and milk. You have to wait. If you eat pizza, you have to wait 30 minutes before you eat meat. What are the odds, though, if you have a fucking piece of meat, that the milk is going to come from the same cow? No, it's not. They said that passage means don't mix it to it all. Fuck you. Linen and cotton, you can't mix. What? Yeah. What? If you have a wool in the linen, that's what it is. If you have a wool jacket, you can't have linen things tying in the buttons. Because that's evil, and you'll go to hell. What about peanut butter and chocolate? You'll go to hell for that. No, my favorite one that you told me to this day was that you were told that when you masturbate. Now, for a lot of people don't really know. Ari grew up extremely religious to the point where he lived. You lived on... He lived in Israel in Yeshiva for two years.

111:50Yeah, and you studied the Torah all day long. 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.? I mean, that's some pretty intense shit. And they told you when you masturbated that you were impregnating a demon in the other dimension. Let's just say you're on your back lying down. They didn't really do positions back then or shower. Anyway, but when you're doing it, some demon comes and she's around you, fucking you, as you're fucking your hand. Yeah. And then you make demon babies in the afterlife. Some writer used this. The phage. There was some like, maybe Dean Kuntz? baby teen coons use it in a movie yeah or some deep no in a book there's some some demon was like writing them and had anyway but then you get her pregnant and she has babies every time you do that every time you're 100 but those babies never get to be born on earth they only live in this

112:35demon world no deformed and gross wow i forgot about this yeah and then when you get to go to heaven when you die you have to meet those demons oh my god and they go why dad why couldn't we born on the regular planet. Wow. Why are we like this, dad? So did you masturbate anyway, even knowing all this? Uh-huh. And what did you think? Was this going on while you were living in this really religious environment you were masturbating? No, you never stop masturbating. You never stop masturbating. I mean, I slowed down. I thought it was evil for doing it. So you're doing this, you're there 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Did you think, well, that part's bullshit? You're studying this intense religious... Well, I think there's two types of sense. Literally, this is how it is. there's two types of sins there's sins you plan out and say fuck it I don't agree with that and there's types like gossip where it just happens right

113:24you're not thinking about it like fuck fuck I shouldn't have done that right just talking bad about somebody masturbation is one that just overcomes you right but it's one I guess it's one that you do plan out because you could just not do it this time it's not like you accidentally touched it women I don't think have the same it's not they don't have that backup you know women want to have sex they get itchy like they want they want to be touched they want affection they get horny but we have like a backup of sperm where like your dick is like come on let's go yeah it's like you gotta get rid of this shit jesus christ we can't even think you can't sperm everywhere here come on jesus what did you when you beat off did you like fuck what about those babies did you believe that part that part was more like fables it wasn't like the written in the torah so it was like this is what's this is what like the

114:10extracurricular stuff the ghosts and shit like that so when would they bring that up how'd you They barely brought that up. Did they bring it up in class ever? Yeah, it would come up. We're in discussions with rabbis who studied all that stuff. The Zohar, which is like the mystical book. But you're not supposed to study that until you're married and 35. What? The mystical book. Yeah. So you can't really handle it until you're married and 35. What's that all about? It's got all this stuff about ghosts and weird shit. Ghosts? Yeah. Demons, ghosts, demons. There's ghosts and demons? Yeah, and crossing. Dude, Judaism sounds like fun. sounds like fun literature you don't get to read it very much I never read the translation this is so hard maybe I should read it can you get it online can you buy it on Amazon.com probably all written down somewhere actually but a lot of it would be the exact language you wouldn't get that

114:56from translation but you'll get close yeah there was this piece there was this one piece in the Talmud which is like a respected like you're supposed to study it apart and they said this rabbi went to his students who were living in like a dormitory all together because there was a a snake or a dragon that was attacking them every night and killing his students so he had to sleep and only the rabbi was one who could defeat it so he had to sleep under one of their beds um so that he could kill this dragon it was a dragon and i asked my rabbi about that i'm like what the fuck is this all about uh it's my wife what's going on there's no second dragons this is all under this bed to suck your cock and that's how i killed the dragon yeah he said there was a rash there was a rash of jerk-offs going on and the only way they can't really write that out in the Talmud so they had to metaphor it really

115:45it was a rash of jerk offs and the only way that could stop it is the rabbi hiding under their bed saying I caught you you're masturbating wow so the dragon that was killing off the children was just them masturbating was the desire to masturbate oh my god it was killing off their spiritual selves holy shit that's hilarious but it's not written that metaphor is not explained it's just it's just assumed and you have to ask someone who understands the text. Yeah, or Rashi would write stuff about it if you can understand that. That's so crazy. Well, how would that, in the future, people would just think it's just craziness. This was an oral tradition too, so it wasn't even written down. Someone just had to tell you that story. Wow. That's what they wrote down when they thought they were going to lose it all. That's amazing. Yeah. Wow. That is a great fucking story. You'd think I'd be making that up, but I'm really not.

116:32It's hilarious. Yeah, it is. We're so crazy. And people, you know, whenever we have these conversations about religion, It's really interesting because I get so many angry tweets. People get angry. They get so mad. You're being an idiot. There's literally zero proof for it. There's zero proof ever. And there's nothing else in your life that you will entertain a conversation over when there is zero proof. Nothing. That's the only thing. If someone tried to invent any of those religions today, you would laugh at them. Yes. You would say this is a cult. But somehow he can't because everyone's involved in it. But it's ridiculous what you're doing. Completely ridiculous. And I say that it's the enemy of progress because that's not on the table anymore. Everything is on the table as far as what is the possibility for the future. Cloning, are we allowed? What is subatomic particles? What are in black holes?

117:24Everything is really on the table up to discovery until it comes to religion. And with religion, that's not on the table. Yeah. If anything is off the table like that, like stem cell research or things along those lines. Because of religion. Yeah, because of religion, especially when you can get stem cells from skin. They're at a point now where you don't need to have embryos. You don't need to encourage people to have abortions like they thought the worst case scenario would ever be. That people would be encouraged to kill their babies because stem cells from the aborted fetuses would be very valuable. That's not even necessary anymore. They've passed that and the argument is still there. Because of our belief in a God. Yeah. Or something that was invented so long ago. It doesn't apply to you anymore. Even if it was invented for a reason, it doesn't apply to you anymore.

118:06The most ridiculous thing is that if this God did exist, that he wouldn't tell you while you're fucking up left and right and surely sending yourself to hell. Just weird little signs. Yeah, he would just wait there. What an asshole. Wait there and go, listen, when you get up here, I know this life has been confusing and everybody's full of shit and they've been telling you these crazy stories, but if you don't listen to them, once you get up here, the infinite wisdom is going to fucking cook you. Yeah. I got mad at God when I started thinking about this stuff. It was like, what the fuck? so you're telling me that everyone either goes to heaven or doesn't or gets rewarded on the next plane or doesn't based on you've never been explicit and just said I want you to do this you're just supposed to guess it my protestant friends were like if you don't accept Jesus you're going to hell and I'm like but your

118:44parents were Christian so you're a better chance of accepting Jesus than mine so just because randomly my parents were Jewish I'm going to burn in hell for eternity it's ridiculous like God wouldn't intervene and say listen parents you're teaching your children wrong. This is what I like. I like them to worship my son. If you're a Native American, 100 years after Jesus came, you've never heard of him, but if you don't accept him, you're going to hell. You had no chance. Yeah, you go to hell. Just go to hell. Burn it forever for your sins. You know what they say? Well, some people believe that Jesus actually went to America and so he told them. Like, one time and then left and so that was enough for generations. Your Protestant friends told you this? The only story that I've ever heard about Jesus in America was the Mormon. The Mormons. Yeah.

119:29They believe that he fucking, he was the, that's where the American Indians came from. They were lost. Lost Jews. Lost Jews. Yeah. This is it. This is me. I'm an Indian. Indian. This is what you're looking at. That's an Indian. That's not ridiculous. I used to have a joke about it, but I never really formed it, but this is what it was. There's other parts of that same book that say what the Mormons did. I've told you this, right? Yeah. Where they said he went to the moon. Yeah. With more Hebrew people. and started a race of people called the Lunarians. No. Where they still live to this day. No. Yes, or at least they were saying that until we went to the moon, and then we're like, what's up? Where's the Lunarians? He said, and here's my thing. They didn't answer. They just stopped teaching it, but this is what they said. It was like, oh, well, when we made that up,

120:17we didn't think anybody would actually go to the fucking moon to call us on it. It was like 200 years ago. We're like, oh, yeah, go take your golden ladder to the moon and call me on my lie. It's so funny. It's so provocative. Where are the people? What are they doing up there? There's no atmosphere. We didn't know any of that. We didn't know shit. Yeah. More templates. He was 14. Joseph Smith was 14 when he created all that shit. He found it. Understood it. When he said he found the gloss tablets, the golden tablets, that only he could read because they had a Sears stone. He had a magic stone that he was looking at. That's who's going to be the next Republican president for Canada. Yeah, he believes in all that. That's Mitt Romney. Isn't that hilarious? Uh-huh. Have you seen the trailer for Prometheus? Speaking of ridiculous science fiction. No, a movie. The new Ridley Scott movie The prequel to Alien Oh no, really?

121:00Don't watch the trailer Why? It gives away too much? They give away There's too much going on in the trailer There's a few spoilers But god damn does it look good Ooh, it looks good Is the Garnier Weaver shaved her head? No, she's not in this, man Charlize Theron It's a prequel It's a prequel Oh yeah, she wouldn't be in it yet She wouldn't be in it Yeah Charlize Theron is the new badass chick Dude, it is It looks fucking tremendous Really? I won't watch it then Oh, it looks so good It looks so good When is it coming out? June. My dick is hard until June. We were talking about Doug Benson that one time, about trailers that ruined stuff for you, where there'll be a scene that says, you thought I was dead, didn't you? Yeah. You know, like, okay, he's not dead. Yeah, they try so hard to get you into the movie. It really pisses off a lot of people. I'm sure the directors must get so like, what? Yeah, you fuckheads.

121:45You gave away huge plot points. There's some movies that it's almost useless to go see them. Like, you know what's going to happen. Yeah, the first 20 minutes when it's setting up, you're like, I know you're going to become poor. I know how the movie goes. I saw it. Just get to it already. I love going to a movie that's supposed to be really good and you don't see any previews for it. It's rare that that happens, but man, when it does happen, it's great. It happens a lot for me now. Yeah. Because I just download everything, so it's like there's no commercials. So I miss commercials for things. This fucking Prometheus looks so good. I love a good science fiction movie written by... You know, when you have Ridley Scott at home, it's like, come on, this is going to be tremendous, you know? He's really good at it. There's not enough of those. They need, like, avatars every couple months.

122:24you know something along those lines like something badass like that terrible ones can't wait for avengers i thought i thought i thought um that maybe i was getting cynical because like movies aren't good anymore but i'm like maybe just me getting older and maybe my parents said the same thing then looked at rotten tomatoes which is just an amalgamation of all the you know what it is just different uh and it was like the last nine box office was like got shitty reviews got under under 60 and i'm like that means nobody likes anything that's out it's not just me It's hard to make movies, man. I know it's hard. Especially hard when you've got a bunch of different people involved. Think about how much money it costs to make a movie like The Avengers. There's fucking millions and millions of dollars on the line as far as they have to spend, and then the potential profit is millions and millions more,

123:08so there's so many people with so much to say. Trying to say, like, don't. It's amazing that anything gets done. Could you imagine just this podcast or the way these conversations go? What if we had somebody in our ear, and every time we started bringing up a certain conversation, She'd be like, cheese it with the best of the whites stuff. Stop it. Stop it with that. Ari. Gently guided away from that conversation. Back up on that. And that's what happens. You know, like, look, I've been doing the UFC for, you know, how long? Fucking, who knows? Is it weird to have them in your ear? 97. It's very rare. Does anybody say anything? But once we started going on Fox, the producer actually had to tell me in my ear. The Fox executive was like, tell him to take it down a notch. Tell him to take it down. Like, when I get excited about something, the way I get excited about it, it's natural. And I'm pumping it up.

123:50but I'm actually fired. Of course they like it, but these fucking dummy executives, everybody, I'm not saying the Fox ones, I'm saying pretty much a huge group of, a huge percentage of the group of people that is in the producer position, a lot of them think that they're creative. Also, you have to guess what everyone's going to be into. Exactly. The most people are going to be into or turned off by. You can't tell me how to deliver the way I deliver. I've been doing it forever. They either like it or they don't. Most people like it. If you don't, tough shit. If it doesn't sound like your fucking baseball guys, your basketball guys, it's not supposed to. You know? It's not. It's not supposed to. It's a different fucking sport. And this is just the way I do it. If I was doing football, I probably wouldn't do it this way. Yeah. You're lucky I don't curse. Well, I'm lucky I got the job. Really, I'm lucky too.

124:35But the whole idea behind going in and like saying, oh, we're going to fix all this and fix all that. Like that's what happens in movies. That's what happens on TV shows. That's what happens. It would happen in this podcast. You're good at hiring a lighting guy. Yeah. If we brought in production people And we said We're going to move the podcast To the studio And Bob I'd like you to produce this Just sort of take Take some of the strain away from me You know If you're having anything to say Just talk in my ear man Just think Hey man I think you better take digits Change that subject This is a bad subject Could you imagine Could you imagine How fucking crazy we would go If you know If someone Like there was an O'Brien moment And someone would go Hey man You guys got to stop that That's why I hate Shut up That's why I hate Commercial breaks There's like podcasts That do commercial breaks That's so stupid It's like

125:17I'd rather do it up front just have a conversation you know don't wait a minute to be like and now we'll be right back well no one's doing it well these commercials are okay because you're just talking it out and we do get them out of the way Bill Burr does that he went on a rant when he did flowers.com or something yeah he just went on a rant because it was Valentine's Day coming up he was like yeah you gotta buy a girlfriend flowers go to flowers.com and I'll get whatever presented he goes why the fuck is that still a thing oh like they don't get any enjoyment out of it either the sex we have to buy them that still he just goes on this tangent so I can see him and then back anyway so go to flowers.com That's perfect. Yeah. That's sort of how we would do it. Yeah. We never really have like... That's a way better way to do it. That's way better, yeah. Yeah. I'm glad he's doing it. Because as a comic, he's the same the way I feel.

125:58It's like you don't want to have to say the same thing over and over again. Well, you're doing commercials now, too. How are you doing your commercials? At the beginning. At the beginning. I'll say what the episode's about. I'll say the stuff I didn't do with my stand-up. And then the sponsors. But do you elaborate on the sponsors at all? Like how are you doing it? I'm telling what I'm into it. It's like Amazon deal or Gamefly. And you're doing it like, do you do it like the way we're doing it? Like you just start talking whatever you feel about the... Yeah, just mention it. Yeah. And just say, this is the deal. I hate bothering people, so I usually express that. Like I hate bothering people. But like, anyway, this will get me money. You know, people have complained about it, but that's just a certain percentage of the people are going to complain about it every day. I feel like they're used to radio, though.

126:34And in radio, there's tons of commercials all the time. Right. I know we're not the same thing as radio, but it's similar. But it is the same thing. It's a conversation. I mean, most of these people are listening to this thing. They could easily be listening to the radio. Yeah, it's very similar. A lot of them have iPhones or iPods in their cars is a huge percentage of the people that are listening to this show. Yeah. Because everybody has a little hookup now. It's so easy to have a USB port. Yeah. And every, you know, most new cars, like some, like Fords, I know your car picks it up Bluetooth. Yeah, a lot of cars do that. So you can stream it from your phone. You know, by the way, if you don't have that in your car, there's something that I recently purchased. And it's like this thing that you put in your car, and it's got three speakers, and it just goes right on your visor. Oh, really?

127:11And it automatically connects Bluetooth. That's the Bluetooth. And it can connect to Bluetooth at once, and it can either just stream music to it, and also you can take calls on it. So if you don't have it in your car, I got this for, I think, $129. I'll put it on my website, but it's good. Most people have that hookup right from a phone to the car, if it's a music phone. Right. And in California, it's the law. I know in Ohio, you're still fucking driving around making phone calls, but in a lot of places, you can't do that anymore. Yeah, you can get tickets. or people looking for people on phones every day. You're not allowed to text either. When you shouldn't, god damn it, it drives me crazy when I see someone looking down their phone while their giant metal machine is hurling 60 miles an hour. I'm like, you know, 60 miles an hour, you can cover a lot of goddamn distance in a couple of seconds. Yeah.

127:57And if you know anything about accidents, that's how shit happens. It happens like, on a side of nowhere, boom! I was, yeah, last accident I had, I was drunk. And I was texting, trying to get to the comedy store before last call without my glasses on. Without your glasses on? Oh, my God. And some cab stopped, and you don't expect them to stop for no reason. How hard did you hit them? I saw it the last second. Stopped enough. It still smashed them. And then somewhere a cop pulled over, and I was trying to give him the wave off. Like, no, we're good. We got this covered. Right. But it was completely because I looked away from the road. The cop waved off? I waved off the cop. He was slow down. He was like, do you guys need any help? But I gave him a sign of, we're handling this like adults. We're just exchanging insurance for information. Good for you. All hammered, panicking, sweaty, heart beating your chest.

128:41Also wondering if I can get back to the store in time. What am I going to pull in a breathalyzer? Am I still going to be able to get my set? That's what happens when you drink and drive. But texting and driving is super similar. You just look away from the road. It's real bad. I've done it a few times here and there, but I rarely do. I do it all the time. Of course, you learn your lesson, and you've never done it since this accident, right? Drink and drive? Yes. I left the Stan Hope show. I don't know if that was before or after. And that one, I think that might have been the last one, because nothing happened to that one. I was beyond lit up. I couldn't stay to the end. Really? I needed to get air. You drove home? I drove home and I kept telling myself that if I get to the store, I only live a few blocks away from the store, if I get there, I'll just pull over there. But I'm like, what are you talking about?

129:18It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, you're a block away from the store. That's 95% of the way there. Dude, why did you drive that obliterator? I was drunk and I could not make the right decision. I made the wrong decision. And luckily, nothing happened. Cool. How hard was it to stay in the lanes? I think I concentrated hard. I managed to do it, but I shouldn't. I've driven jump before. I'm like, I think I'm going to handle this. But almost everybody has. But this was not one of those times. That's scary, dude. I hate hearing that. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody out there, learn from Ari. Don't do that shit. That's a terrible thing. Yeah. Scary. It was. Control your body, man. You have less control, and you want to feel like you have control, but you don't. And you're driving a giant death machine. Giant death machine. That's what it is. Everyone does it.

129:57Everyone drives a little drunk, but it's like, you know, you put people at risk. Not everyone does it, man. I try really hard not to do it, but it's certainly a fucking problem. I remember in high school, though, I used to have like a note, like one drink and I'm done rule. I don't know if you guys had that. That went away. It's a great rule. Yeah. No, I have had those. Especially if I'm driving. If I'm doing a show, I can have a beer, maybe two beers on stage. But if I know I got to drive afterwards, it's the worst feeling in the world. You got to sober up. But Sam Kinison said it the best. Well, you can't leave your car there. How are you going to get your car home? Something like that. Get it towed. Yeah. That's not realistic for most people. No, most people it's not. Vancouver. I don't know of all Canada, but Vancouver at least. They have super strict laws So people just don't do it

130:36Yeah I think that's one of the great things About living in New York City That everybody's just hopping in cabs Cabs and subway home Yeah cabs, subway You don't have to be responsible for being hammered Yeah But then you have to live in New York City Which I don't think I'm willing to do We're going to be there We're going to be in New York in May right? When is it Brian? May 4th May 4th Yeah But the big Oh, this weekend we're at the Comedy and Magic Club, too. Are you going to do it? No. Maybe I can just do Friday. Okay, wouldn't I? You want to do Friday night? Yeah. Which show? Both shows? Yeah, I guess so. Okay. That's how quick we roll, ladies and gentlemen. That's how we make decisions. And Saturday, Little Esther doesn't know yet, but I'm going to ask her to do it with me and Duncan. So you're going to do just Friday? Yeah. Little Esther and Duncan Friday.

131:24So Ari and Duncan on Friday and Little Esther, if she wants to do it, and Duncan on Saturday. This weekend, Comedy and Magic Club. But the big one is 420 in Atlanta. That's my fucking special. I'm taping it. This is the best shit I've ever had. I could have taped the special a year ago. Yeah, you were ready a long time ago. So I've never been this, like, I did an hour and 40 minutes the other night, and it was just all material. Really? Yeah. Just all the... Yeah, I got a lot of shit. I went through all of it, and I still don't think I did everything. I still have some other stuff that I've written down that I sort of abandoned along the way, and I have to figure out where to put certain things. I want to try to do everything. If you didn't get back to it, it's like, okay, I didn't. Maybe I'll start from here for the next year. Yeah. Like this never got good. Yeah, there's some bits.

132:10Well, there's some bits I can't keep doing. Yeah, you're just done with them. You're sick of it, right? Yeah, I got to get rid of them. Even if they don't make it to the special, I'm getting rid of them. Yeah, just holding you back creatively after a certain amount of time. Exactly. So April 20th at the Tabernacle. Say it, Brian. Tabernacle. After Tabernacle. How about Tabernacle? In Atlanta. Can I mention three dates? I got three big dates. Yeah, fuck yeah. What do you got? I got Vancouver, 29th through the 31st. Oh, shit. Where at? The comedy mix. Ooh, one of the best clubs in the world. Yeah, that's a big show. So when is that? April what? No, March 29th through the 31st. March 29th through the 31st, comedy mix in Vancouver. Yeah. Ari Shaffir, who are you working with? I don't know. They've got to give me someone there. They've got a good local scene. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, there's a lot of good comics.

132:54We were up there. Me and Segura did sets there last time we were there. Oh, yeah. And they had a great local city. Yeah, I'm sure. They had a lot of funny comics. It's a big fun city. Yeah. Anywhere west coast. Yeah, Vancouver's awesome. It's one of the greatest cities in the world. It wins like greatest city in the world all the time. Yeah. It's very friendly and worldly. It's beautiful. It's west coast. They're all chill back and laid back. Food's incredible. Some of the best restaurants. Jesus Christ, we've had some incredible steaks at that place. Yeah, Vancouver's amazing. That's one of my favorite places to go ever. So you're there March 29th? Through the 31st. Through the 31st. It's three days. And that comedy mix is the downstairs of a hotel. Yeah, that's the old Yuck Yucks that we did once a long, long time ago. Yeah, it's a great spot. It's a perfect size.

133:35It's close to the area of downtown where everybody goes out. It's like two blocks away. It's a perfect size club. That place is amazing. Yeah. And then I think I'm doing an album in Helium. Oh, shit. I think I'm going to try again to take that thing. So the first one didn't work out? No, they just didn't get there in time. They just fucked up the recording too much. I didn't want to do it wrong. What'd they do? They missed the first three days. What? They just didn't come. Why not? They weren't organized. So they were supposed to be there and they never got there? Yeah. Wow. Who was this? I don't know if I should say or not. Don't say. Yeah, but it was just really shit. Are you still working with them? No, they were like, you want to do it again? I'm like, I think I'm going to do it on my own. I don't want to try this again. What the fuck? It was really frustrating. They weren't there Wednesday, they weren't Thursday.

134:13Oh, and you're killing. Yeah, and Thursday was a super conservative crowd at Edmonton, but they laughed super hard at all the cleaner jokes. Right. And I was like, that's the best reaction those clean jokes have ever gotten. Right. Like I would have liked to have had that down. And then Friday they sent somebody in, but he didn't know the system. And then Saturday, there was all this feedback from the soda machine. Oh, no. So they just couldn't use two full bits. I was like, I want them. Yeah, that shit's annoying. It's hard to fucking get a special down. There's a lot of pressure to just have that moment be just like a real show. Yeah. So that's why I'm doing a lot of shows between now and then. If you see me adding shows, that's exactly what's going on. Trying to get ready. Yeah, that's why I'm doing Hollywood. I'm doing the improv. April 13th, 14th, and 15th. The Hollywood, not California, rather.

135:02Hollywood, Florida. Florida. The one with the hard rock. So that's April 13th, 14th, and then the 20th, Atlanta. Oh, and Louisiana. We're doing the improv in Louisiana. Is it Louisiana improv? In Louisville, Kentucky. Did I say Louisiana? I did. Jesus Christ Who lets me talk How do I have a living talking Tab or nipple Tab or nipple 3330 March 30th Through April 1st We're at the Louisville Louisville Kentucky Improv You just do as many sets as you can And get like right in groove I'm just trying I'm getting up like crazy I'm just going to get up Every weekend All week Everywhere Just going to just bang it out And listening to sets Doing a lot of writing too And I'm also preparing For the next stuff So I'm sandwiching in new bits Yeah And I find out when I do that, I make my older bits better anyway. It makes my whole set better when I'm jamming new shit. I had a friend ask me about this.

135:56He goes, sometimes, Mike Stork, he was like, sometimes I feel like if I do these old bits, I make them longer and I add stuff to them. Yeah. But my theory with that is, that new stuff, that new creative stuff that you put into that, you would put into the other new bit. Yeah, absolutely. You would just make your other bits better. There's both. I think that a bit can cook for a certain amount of time, then after a while, it's done. It's done. But sometimes it's not done, and you're like a year into this bit. But then in the next year, you'll come up with all this great new shit to go along with it. And now it becomes like a real piece that you're proud of, and then you let it go. It's all like knowing when to let it go. It's hard. Friday, I'll be at the Ice House with Joey Diaz and Doug Benson for the Ice House Chronicles.

136:37Yeah, but just in the Ice House Chronicles, by the way, are available only on iTunes under the Death Squad label.
