00:04Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. TRAIN BY DAY, JOE Yeehaw. What's up, Tommy Papa? What's up, my man? How are you, my brother? What's cracking? I'm super stoked, man. Thanks for having me. Looking good, looking lean. You You [ __ ] stuck with it, man. You [ __ ] stuck with it. Tried to. Yeah, I've been working hard at it, actually. I mean, you so You've been so consistent. It's amazing. Isn't it weird That's what That's what I've said that to a few people and they're like, "Yeah, that's That's what happened." I mean, I don't know. I just keep I think I had this um I don't I don't know if I told you like this mentality before where I would go, if I got to a number on the scale, I thought of it as like a finish line. I didn't realize I was doing it, but I was. I was like, "Oh, I got there."

00:57Right. And then you just kind of go, "Well, if you're done, you're done." Yeah. And then you just kind of regress. Mhm. So, I just realized now that it's just It is It is every day. It is life. It's life. It's part of life, yeah. Yeah, if you can think about it that way, you also you got to think about it like a delayed gratitude. Delayed gratitude's a very important concept if you want to have a happy life. You can't just have gratitude in front of your face all the time. You'll You'll just be a mess. You want delayed gratitude, and specifically for your physical health, cuz you don't feel good in in the end of the day. Like, unless you You When I don't work out, if I have a day that I blow it off, which is rare, but it does happen. If I blow it off, the end of the day I feel like a loser. Yeah. it's stupid. I know it's stupid, but

01:42it's that feeling inside of you that you didn't get ahead. You didn't You didn't I mean It's one thing if it's a like, I need a rest day. Rest days I can I love them. Let me watch TV. I watch a movie. Sure. I I indulge in those. to listen to your body on that, for sure. And also your mind. Yeah. I think your mind needs rest days. I I enjoy a rest day now. Really I I [ __ ] but if you if you don't do the things you know you're supposed to do, you have that [ __ ] nagging thing in your head. And that thing in your head, that nagging thing, that's hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of your day. Yeah. Whereas the workout, you could just get 20 minutes in and that that feeling's gone. Totally. Just get 20 minutes in. There's the there's the I feel like a loser thing that also but there's also this even like another layer to it where on

02:30days when I don't do anything physical and it's like it's towards the end of the day I kind of go like, "What's wrong with me?" You know, and like other like Christina might be like, "What's going on with you?" Mhm. And then sometimes it takes me a moment and I'll be like, "I didn't work out today." Yep. It's what it is. Oh, I go, "Yes, so I have like this Mental health. Yeah, it's it's [ __ ] with my head. I also have this um like the the anxiety has manifested itself physically. So I just have this like, "Oh, I didn't I didn't exert myself." So it's it's all it's all together. Mhm. And I go, "That's what it is." So I go tomorrow morning I got it. I just got to get it in right away. Yeah, it's just one of those things like brushing your teeth. You got to [ __ ] do it. You don't want to do it. You do it and you feel better afterwards. Like

03:13in little bursts of that so I feel every time I get in that stupid cold plunge. Every time I don't want to do it. Every time I do it I don't want to do it. sucks. Sucks. Never feels good. We had this thing where we were doing we had to bank episodes of our podcast. So it means we were going into the studio at like I don't know, 9 or 10 and then just spending the day there, right? And I knew that when I got home I'd be wiped. And we got, you know, we would be with the kids and we got to do dinner and get them ready for bed. So I was like, "I'm just going to get up." And so every day I just got up a little earlier. Cold plunge first. So it's like that was my wake up. It was the first thing I I Wake you right the [ __ ] up. Right the [ __ ] up and then right to the gym. Mhm. And so then I would I would arrive at the studio in the best mood.

03:58Yeah. Just like really in a great mood. Yeah. And then I would zip through the day, and I mean even they were like, "Wow, you're like nice." You know, like the staff were like Dude, it's like a If you could take that in a pill form, it would be the most popular pill in the world. 100% no question. Yeah. Yeah. And we're not talking about like being a bodybuilder. Not talking about killing yourself. No. Just getting your heart pumping, getting your sweat going, get those muscles moving, exert yourself. Yeah. Yeah, give me just I can get a [ __ ] pretty good workout in in 20 minutes. You can you can definitely get your heart going. Yeah. If I'm [ __ ] super pressed for time You know what's crazy is if you when I work out right after cold plunging I sometimes you're like, "Wait, how come I'm not sweating?" You don't realize

04:44that your core temperature has dropped like 17°, and you're like, "Oh." You're in 34° for 3 minutes. Yeah. Duh. I I work out outside after I do that. Oh, nice. So I do my my I do the series of 100 body weight squats and 100 push-ups every morning. And the way I do it is I do it as my warm-up now. It's a good warm-up to do right after you get out of the cold plunge. So by the time I'm done with those, I'm warmed up. Wow. Yeah. But it's nice to do outside. Yeah, that is cool. I I I That's one of the only times that I really don't mind heat, like real heat, is during workouts. Yeah. working out in heat. It's good for you. I do not like a cold gym. No. When the air condition is blasting in the gym, I don't like that. No, I don't like that either. I like You know, Kronk Gym, where Tommy Hearns used to train? They always kept the temperature very high. They did? Yeah,

05:34they kept it like 95°. Yeah, in Detroit. And the reason well, Emanuel Stuart was a genius, boxing genius, but also a genius physically. He knew it's just like working out in a sauna. Like the sauna actually gives you a cardiovascular benefit just sitting there, because your heart's beating faster because it's trying to body trying to cool you off. Right. You're hot as [ __ ] You know, I've I've had the heart strap on in the sauna and got up to 147°. Or excuse me, 147 beats per minute. Just sitting there. Yeah, just sitting there. Just sitting there. what's happening. Especially cuz you do it in after a workout. Yeah. So I'm already [ __ ] exhausted and then I get in that oven for 20 minutes and at the end of that 20 minutes my heart is jacked. So it's all you're getting static cardio just sitting there. Just in there. So if you're doing a

06:18boxing workout and it's 95° your heart is jacked. You're getting you're getting really worked out. That's hard that's like running with weights on. Yeah, and then imagine that feeling right after that. Like when you're done. Yeah, like Uh, the relief. Like a hot yoga class. Remember when we were doing the hot yoga? We did do how many do we do 15 in a month? We did 15. Yeah. That was nice, dude. That was nice. Yeah. Something about leaving those. I went to one here in Austin. Yeah? Yeah. I went to a hot yoga class and it was like You walk outside you're like this isn't any different. The exact same temperature. Yeah, it's just yoga with no AC on. God. Yeah. But it did you do feel this and then that the way that like a cold drink tastes right after that. It's unreal. Just water. Yeah, just water. Just a cold water so good. Yeah.

07:06It feels so good. Do you Do you take um electrolytes? I do. Every day. Yeah. I travel with the packets and everything. Which ones you taking? Um I have Liquid I.V. I take those pouches with me everywhere. I take those, too. Yeah, I also take them I have a big one before bed. I fill up like a big canteen. Yeah. You have to get up to piss in the middle of night? Yes. Um but not it's annoying not too too much. I mean I don't do it like right before bed but like I have an evening one because I I I remembered even from like high school football in Florida that they would go if you're cramping it's too late to start like you start taking it's not going to help you then. It's all about like the prep for it. Right. So, like you that day before you exert yourself, electrolyte boost is what's going to help you more. Mhm. You know, so I

07:53always try to do it like at night, too. That makes sense. Just keeping a steady state Yeah. in your body. Yeah. Yeah, it should be something that you take every day. But the big thing, dude, like I never I never hated I wasn't one of those people who was like, "I hate the gym." or "I hate working out." It really is being consistent with food, too. Mhm. That's a big thing. You Like I didn't realize how much I Well, I knew I was eating poorly a lot. I was just like I had no sense of like portion control. What turned it around? Was it those contests? Was it the weight loss contest? I guess it's a little bit of everything. I think actually getting severely injured Uh and and like just being like First of all, I think hearing people being like, "Oh, you're really going to fall apart now. Like now that you're you've been injured, you're

08:38going to be a mess. You're going to gain like 100 lb." Mhm. Like people would say that. Who said that to you, Bert? Actually his wife. His wife said that to you? Yeah, yeah, dude. Jesus Christ. But but she was just like in the moment saying it. But no, she wasn't the only one. to gain 100 lb. She was like, "You're going to get real fat, Tom." You're going to be fatter than my husband. Yeah, I know. We're going to make fun of you. impossible." So, but it wasn't even just that, you know? There was like other people, too. Other people were like, "Oh, yeah, you're I mean, I would see it." Like when I open up Twitter or something, they're like, "This dude's about to be a [ __ ] whale. Like you know, like Wow. Yeah, cuz they saw you like Well, you're laying in a bed, Right. So, I think that kind of started it. And then what happened was my PT was you

09:22know, we were doing all the rehab stuff. And she was the one who was like, "Are people telling you you're going to like get like way out of shape?" She goes, "Yeah." She goes, "You know it's going to be the opposite, right?" And I was like, "What?" She was like, "You're going to be in like the best shape of your life." And I was like, "Why?" She's like, "Cuz you're going to be so focused on rehab and you're going to feel better doing it and you're just going to want to get like she was the one who was uh Dr. Karen Joubert. So, we have to break Bert's arm? We have We got to [ __ ] We should hit him with a bus. You know what? Do you remember the moment of reflection after this last Sober October? We're all out there. We were all going to go do a show and I said, "Come do the show with us." Yeah. And and Bert was like, "I can't go out.

10:03If I go out, I'm going to drink and I don't want to drink. I'm really going to get my [ __ ] together now." Do you remember that? I don't, actually. Where were we here? not have been there. You might not have been while he was saying it. We were right out in front I left a few minutes before, remember? I was I was like, "I got to go put the kids down." Yeah, I was trying to get him to come to the show with us. And he didn't want to do it. Yeah. You know? He just like he likes the party. Hey, the party's great, but I think he partied during October when we had Sober October and I still think he had a great [ __ ] time. I I saw his shows. Looks like he was killing it. Yeah. You know what I mean? doesn't doesn't make it more of a party to get [ __ ] up every night. It's just unsustainable. That's what I worry about. You know,

10:47when when we first did the Sober October thing, that was part of the discussion. We were all like, "Hey, Bert drinks too much." Yeah. Like, what what's say and I smoke too much weed. Let's uh let's try to work this out. Yeah. Turns out smoking too much weed is like way better for you. I I think it is. He's on a bender right now, too, on this on this tour he's on. Jesus. Bro, he looks like a moon pie. A moon pie with a beard. He's so swollen. He's so swollen. Oh, [ __ ] This reminds you of that Joey Diaz line where he I go, "You seen Bert?" He goes, "Oh, he's so fat, I thought he was a Chinese guy. His eyes were swollen shut." He's having a good time, though. He is having a good time. happy for him, too. I'm I'm happy for, you know, the movie and these these arenas. that festival's a that is a huge success. But watching him, you know, do these

11:37shows in these arenas and seeing these crowds, I'm like, "Wow." Yeah. It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild, dude. It is pretty wild. You know, when you go back to him taking that chance and leaving the Travel Channel. Yeah, it was a big uh it was a big risk on his part, actually. Cuz that's that's the equivalent of cuz we all knew comics like this, and it was it's a it's just a reality of what it is when you're when you start working as a comedian and you're you have like your circle of friends. There's this a a number of them who like as you start to do road gigs, and these are low paying. I'm not saying you're not a ticket seller, you're just doing these gigs. And you're like, uh are you going to do, you know, some of these gigs? And they're like, "Nah, like I have this job." And and the job provides the, you know, the consistency and the comfort. Mhm.

12:27It's it's reliable. They're like, "Oh, I get my paycheck." Yeah. And then what happens is you doing these low like they're making more money than you, right? Cuz you're doing like the [ __ ] comic. But then like your comedy starts to get better cuz you're doing stand-up all the time. And then you get more opportunities, and then they're they go like, "Hey, I want to do that." But like 5 years have gone by. Right. And you're like, "Yeah, but you've been in this day job." Yes. Right? And then all of a sudden, you know, you're getting opportunities to do TV specials or like comics you to just grab their hand. Yeah, yeah. And then they go with you on the road. You're like, "Well, you didn't take the leap, you know?" And Bert kind of had that comfort of that TV show. Yeah. good check. It's not like it's not a [ __ ] check. It's a good It's a good

13:13living. Yeah. But when when he decided, "Nah, no, I got to go make a full leap." That was That's a That's a leap, you know? That's That's a leap, and then it paid off, obviously, you tremendously. Yeah, I you know the story. I called him up when he was on a motorcycle in Vietnam. Yeah, I was like, you got to quit that job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I was right. I was like, you can't just First of all, it's just not healthy for you or your family for you to be gone three, four months out of the time. No. No. It's crazy. And I know you're working and you need you got to do what you got to do. But I can't That's not good for you. It's just And also you're just you're not reaching your potential as a stand-up. You're hilarious guy. Great on podcasts. Totally. Like that's where you should be focusing your energy. But back when he first got on that show,

13:56podcasts were [ __ ] Like when he first told the machine story on my podcast, who the [ __ ] who the [ __ ] is watching it? No one's watching it. No, yeah. Podcasts were [ __ ] So it was like me saying, go do a podcast. Like, what the [ __ ] Yeah. I have kids. Like, what are you talking about? This isn't a job. I can't quit a TV job. Yeah, it's it sounds insane. Yeah. Yeah. I think I cuz I started to do big like bigger shows and and selling out clubs back then, too. And he was like, how is this happening? I was like, you just I go I'm doing stand-up all the time. I do this podcast every week. I just got a special out. It all of it combined together. And I was like, you can do this, too. He's like, oh, I don't know. And then and then he was like I And then I remember him telling he's like I I did

14:37it. I'm not doing the I quit. I'm not doing the travel channel. Amazing. I'm going to go all in. Well, worked out, luckily. Jesus Christ. have gone the other way, too. Yeah. But that thing about guys who don't take the leap, I bet that's in every walk of life where people just don't for whatever it is when you you're not all in. But if you're if That's the [ __ ] the haunting thing about the comedy world. If you're not all in, and someone else is. I remember when I was on Fear Factor. So I was uh you know, doing stand-up when I could, but god damn it, I was working a lot. I was working a lot. I was just It was a lot of hours. And I remember I'd go to the store and I'd I'd run into someone who was a full-time comic and they're on the road. Yeah, I just did uh West Palm. I was there Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I was like,

15:24"Oh." Yeah. It sounds so much better. Sounds like so much more fun. Yeah, they tape in these shows, yeah. it's just like to me it was like doing stand-up seemed so much better. Seemed It just seemed like a better life. Like that's That's what I'm It's more interesting. You also have to have a Like when I look back at the choices I made early on in stand-up, you know, you actually are in a a bit of denial um about how bad you are? How Not just how bad you are, how bad your life is. Like Like I mean I was I'm not living in a like all my friends with regular jobs have a much better quality of life. But here's the thing, it didn't even bother me really. Yeah, because you wanted it so bad. Yeah, I I just wanted it so bad that you I'm saying you you have a bit of you have a delusion almost, right? Like people see where you live and they and

16:18they're like, "How much money are you making?" But you're used to it. You're so used to it, yeah. As long as you're used to it, it's fine. If you Now, one thing would be like say if you had some white-collar job and you're making six figures a year and then you decided to go to stand-up and then you were living in the place like you were living in when I met you, then it would suck a fat dick. Yeah. Cuz you'd be like, "Fuck, now I'm falling apart." It's very difficult for people to downsize with the intention of upsizing eventually. It's It's almost impossible. It's hard. Yeah. It's hard. But if that you'd be so much happier if you could kind of get by doing what you like to do. And then you could eventually make more money doing that. But the more money thing, the most important thing is What are you Are you doing what you want to do? Cuz we don't

17:04have much time. We just don't. I'm 55. I'll be 56 in a month. That's 56. That's old as [ __ ] When I was a kid, I thought 56-year-old people were archaic wrecks Yeah. that were that could barely stand up. You know, you're you're in the doctor's office every couple of weeks, something's falling apart. Yeah, but look at you, man. You're happy, you're thriving. Luckily, I got lucky. I hit the science and knowledge and you know, fitness world and vitamin supplementation, hormone supplementation. All of it came right when I got old. Right. It's like I just rode the wave. That's true. Some of this stuff is just like the luck of timing, right? 100% 100%. Well, also our lives, I think about this all the time. If we were exactly the same guys we are now, but we were at this age in like 1999, we're [ __ ] It's just a totally different life.

18:00Yeah, totally different life. Yeah. Different life, first of all, no phones. Well, '99 had phones, but I mean, imagine 1919, you're [ __ ] You're [ __ ] Life is terrible. Life's [ __ ] Yeah. I mean, we got we as much as people complain about today, we got it [ __ ] super easy. It's it's very nice. Well, if it was 1919, first of all, when I broke my arm, they'd just be like, we're just going to cut your arm. saw it off. Bite this leather strap. Yeah, that's what happened back then, too. You broke things and they'd be like, well, you're just a [ __ ] Yeah, you're a [ __ ] now forever. You can we'll give you this cane and this this this this wheelbarrow with like you can just lean on this wheelbarrow and kind of wheel that into town. they start setting bones? I [ __ ]

18:45What year was that? When they stopped hacking people's arms off? no, dude. It's not that long ago, for sure. that video of the guy who's playing the banjo and his arm is broken and he never got it fixed? So, his arm is like floating around. It's so crazy, dude. Like he he's got the detachment between the two bones. This guy, look at this. It never rehealed. No, and I still work and stuff. Yeah. I still work and stuff. still working and half I mean, look. No. That is ridiculous. No. But you know how I'm saying that is? and play the banjo. I Yeah, yeah. Look That's amazing, dude. Well, that's one word for it. I mean, imagine how weak that guy is in arm I mean, can he even open a jar of mayonnaise? Can he [ __ ] What can he do with that arm? It's really incredible cuz you know that You know what the thing is kind of interesting? I had a double whammy,

19:43right? When I got injured, I tore my patellar tendon and my leg. Patellar tendon tear is not like a MCL ACL. It that leg is completely useless. Like there's no hinge anymore. Right. So your knee doesn't your it just hangs. Right. Right? So you have to reattach the tendon and for that to heal and be able to to use it again, it takes just just for it to heal takes about 2 months. Then your muscle has atrophied completely like your quad is completely atrophied. So then you have to learn how to walk and learn how to do steps again and learn how to like, you know, like it's a complete complete like debilitating type of injury. So when I got and they were at they're both at the same time. So when I got injured, all the people in the hospital, doctors, PTs, they all looked at my arm and they're like, "That's not going to be a problem, right?" And you think about

20:32you're like, "Yeah, you see people in casts all the time." They're like, "You'll be fine with that." That leg, that's going to be your your problem. And it ended up being opposite. Really? Oh, that's right because of the nerve damage. I still have problems. Yeah? I still have nerve issues. Yeah. How bad is it now? Well, you know what an interesting thing? Remember when we did Sober October? You remember like I showed you me doing push-ups with my shirt off? Mhm. So like my left rhomboid wasn't even firing. Mhm. Right? So what happens is when you're when you have like a muscle, a nerve sends a signal to your muscle. If there's nerve trouble going to that muscle, the muscle just doesn't fire. So, I when I was doing push-ups, because that wasn't firing, you have other muscles that compensate. That's the way your body works, right? So, like if

21:21you're going like this and that rhomboid doesn't fire, then like your lat starts to pick up for it. Oh. Right? So, it's like and you're just doing it like unbeknownst to your mind. It's just doing it on its on its own. So, I had like insane It took me like 6 months to recover from the 100 push-ups a day. Wow. Because I I wasn't able to use like the full strength of my body to do a normal push-up. Is it firing now? It's firing now because I I actually have been like treating I went to this place called Wired and they put these like Oh, yeah, neuromuscular stimulation. Yeah, that's really good. Electrical rather, electrical muscular stimulation. That EMS stuff is really good for injury recovery. That has helped me a quite a bit. Mhm. Um but I still the thing that I have is like this crazy like weird I don't know how to even describe it, arm pain Mhm.

22:09when like if I try to like if we were to like if I was to jam you like this, like hands, it sends a incredibly painful signal through my arm. Wow. Like especially like uh the bicep tendon. Mhm. Things like that. So, I'm just always like I'm trying new things. I do different things in the gym. I do treatments like that. I'm going to get another nerve analysis done where they send these signals through your arm. Have you done any hyperbaric chamber stuff? No. You should do that. Yeah, I've heard that. That's supposed to be very good with people with nerve issues. I'm going to try it. You know, it's double the atmosphere and it's really helps recover. Mhm. You can just read a book. Yeah. Yeah. I'll try that. It's very relaxing. It's no big deal. But it's funny though, because you think oh, broken arm, just throw a cast on that thing and you'll be done. No. And

22:56it's been yeah, it's been a couple years. It's not completely healed. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, injuries the one good thing about injuries is when you do get over them, if you could remember because when you're injured, you're like, "God damn it, why wasn't I appreciating being healthy?" Same way I feel when I'm sick. Exactly. Yeah. Well, you you said, you know, you asked me about like turning points. Mhm. The other big one was that, you know, about a little over a year ago, I realized that I was just regressing again. And that was actually the big turning point for me. Mhm. It was that I had kind of recovered for the most part from the injuries, and I was like, "Okay, I'm like healthy again." And I felt myself regressing again. Mhm. I went to shoot this thing, and I was like, I just saw myself. I was like, "Oh, I'm I'm going backwards again." Mhm.

23:52It It bothered me. Is it food? I think it was it was food, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I just I kind of was like, "Oh, I can't go back again." Dude, that carnivore diet kills all that. You just can't overeat. You don't overeat. It's wild. doing that right now? Yeah. It's wild. I know when to stop eating. It's like a If I am eating, um, say, like, a steak and mashed potatoes and french fries and other stuff and bread, bread and butter. I'll just keep eating the mashed pot- Even after I'm done eating steak, I'll keep eating fries. I'll I'll have another piece of bread. And all that stuff is just empty calories. That's carbohydrates. It's not empty, but it's just it's unnecessary. You're eating more than your body's going to burn off, and you're just It's just for me, it's gluttony. What's a normal day for your eating? Like, what do you What do you What's

24:44breakfast? Today was, uh, nilgai steaks and bacon. So, I cooked, uh, a couple of these small nilgai steak Nilgai's an antelope that I shot in Texas. Oh, wow. So, uh, I fried that and fried I fried bacon first, and then I cooked the nilgai in bacon fat. Cuz you need fat. Nilgai is a very lean animal and if you're in you know a fat burning state which is the one I'm in right now. Yeah. You have to have some sort of fats. So like I like avocado oil. I'd like some of that primal kitchen mayonnaise. It's made with avocado oil. I'm not like avoiding vegetables per se. But I 100% I'm avoiding bread and pasta and and all that other [ __ ] I just When I if I have like I'll have a piece of asparagus every now and then. I mean but I'm not like thinking about vegetables. I take a [ __ ] ton of vitamins. You take fruit you take fruit too?

25:33Yeah, I eat fruit. Yeah. When I want to. Yeah. But most of my meals are steak and eggs. Most of my meals. Most of my meals are steak steak eggs steak bacon. That's most of my meals and I feel [ __ ] great. It's what's wild is joint pain. Like I I've had a left knee that's been [ __ ] with me forever and I don't feel anything now. It's been 2 months on this diet 2 plus months now. And it's like it just accelerated the healing. You feel way better. I think I think when you're eating a lot of [ __ ] your body is in a state of inflammation. Like all I think most people are in you know there's there's a scale of like how much inflammation your body's carrying. Yeah. And you don't think about inflammation just cuz it's just how you are. it. And you're not eating anything crazy. I had spaghetti for dinner and I

26:16had a Subway sandwich for lunch. Yeah. I'm not eating McDonald's and you think you're not eating inflammation causing foods but you are. Yeah. And you don't realize it until you cut those out of your diet. So much sugar. I think it's sugar but I also think there's a lot going on with with wheat. I think with the complex glutens and I mean and there could possibly be something with glyphosate. There's there's a lot of people that Glyphosate is Roundup. That's that chemical that they spray on weeds that they found something like 94% of people have it in their blood. Yeah. You know and the pesticide apologist will say oh it's just a small number. It's just That's hardly anything." It's [ __ ] poison. It's 100% cancer-causing poison in 94% of the people have it in their body. And by the way, if in if they're measuring

27:06it and you're getting an average of what these people have in it. Well, who's What's the high end? Yeah. There's got to be some zeros, too. Right? There's got to be people only eat organic and they don't have any in them. So, what what's the high end? Like, how bad off are those people? What are people that How about people that work on a farm? Like, what's their breathing that in all day. What's their [ __ ] blood work look like? Like, what You know, there's a better way to do it and they don't want to do it the better way cuz it's more expensive and it's difficult. You know, like did you a regenerative farm? But, if you do it this way with Roundup and they use it everywhere, this like This stuff is [ __ ] sketchy. Yeah, I've never really spent time thinking much about how wheat affects me personally. You know what I mean? Like

27:52Yeah. I've never been The one that I do think about a lot is sugar. Yeah. And also because I'm somebody who I can just I have to just deny myself. Mhm. Cuz I I get into like a pattern. Right. Right. Right. Yeah, I know what you mean. I If I give myself like And and and also it's like there there's this thing where you realize that you can really kind of fall into peer pressure kind of situations. You know, you're just like you're hanging out and you're like, "Try one of these." Mhm. And you you're going to like, "Okay." And you like it, whatever, some pastry or something. Mhm. And then you see it tomorrow and you're like, "That was good yesterday. I'm going to get it today." And then I I get into a pattern where I just I have to deny myself. excited about Yeah. that mouth pleasure. I do. You know what I used to get for? Mhm. Chocolate croissants. Buddy, I used

28:36to be with you. Do you know where we used to get them? Buddy. At the [ __ ] Terminal 5 Delta when it when that was they had that place. I remember I remember I would get off the plane with you. Yeah. And it was coming back to LA. It was on the way back. Yeah. And we would arrive in the morning. And you're like you like you like these are [ __ ] good and I was like mhm. And then you're like it's just one like I can eat I can do this and I was like yeah me too. And I just I would think that like we're the same so I would shove one down my throat and I was like Joe's right these are good. Go home and go to a [ __ ] bakery and be like can I get a dozen chocolate croissants? I mean yeah dude I [ __ ] That might be my favorite treat of all. Chocolate croissant's pretty damn good. The buttery ones with the real the mushy

29:22chocolate inside. Bro when I I was just in Paris and my Oh buddy. I don't know. International challenge. Je ne parlez pas français. But I I was I was I always talk about I mean I do have an affection for croissants. I really do. They're awesome. And and I was like we're in Paris. I was talking about I was like oh I got to I got to sample some croissants in Paris. My [ __ ] tour manager went out one morning comes back and he goes I got something for you. I go what? He goes I went and picked up the like the best croissants in Paris. And he and he and he had like a and he gave me like a a a sampling of these croissants. How good were they? They're unbelievable. They look pretty damn good. Yeah. They were so unbelievable. What could you write on to say them? Ne- well I no I I stammered through it. Pain au chocolat. Yeah. I think they told me that in in

30:17in Paris they say sh- chocolatine for a chocolate croissant. They don't say they don't say they we don't say a croissant de chocolat. They we say a chocolatine. I said okay. Chocolatine. Yeah but we were definitely tearing them up in Paris. France is falling apart right now. Isn't that wild? Is it? Uh France is what's going on? I mean when I was there there were riots. Oh when I was there there was big riots. Did you Did you see the riots from the the the police killed the guy? No. When I was there it was about the retirement age. Oh this is way worse. This is way way worse. This is the last few days. is the issue? Somebody got murdered. There's been [ __ ] gunfire in the streets, lighting businesses on fire for like 5 days. It's been like The Purge. Some of the videos are insane. It is French teen shot by police officer pleads with rioters to

31:01stop the violence. So, um, something happened. I don't know the the details of the story, but the police shot some guy. During a riot? No. No. I think they shot him in a Was it a traffic stop? Oh, tensions erupt in Paris suburb after 17-year-old delivery driver is killed in a police standoff. I don't know what happened. He was shot and killed by police officer Tuesday in a Paris suburb according to the family's lawyer. The death The death unleashed tensions between angry residents setting barricades on fire and police firing tear gas. Police officer was detained on suspicion of manslaughter according to the prosecutor's office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. Nanterre? Nanterre. Nanterre. Uh, it said the shooting took place during a traffic check. The victim was wounded by a gunshot and died at the scene. The prosecutor's office said in a statement

31:50a passenger in the car was briefly detained and released. The police are searching for another passenger who fled. So, what was it that happened? Do we know what happened? Uh, Okay, the lawyer cited a video reported to be of the incident circulating online that shows two police officers leaning into the driver's side window of a yellow car before the vehicle pulls away and one officer fires towards the driver. The car is later seen crashed into a post nearby. So, So, is this what prompted these riots though? Yes. Yes. Isn't that crazy though that description of what happened in the traffic stop seems so routine here? Like you all Like there's an endless series of videos that you can watch of something similar to that. It's always It feels always like it's very US. Yes. Like we always have incidents in traffic stops. Sure. Which are, you know, I'm not

32:46saying blame is always one way or the other. It's It's, you know, sometimes it's the person in the car, sometimes it's the But that just seems like a really routine thing here. You know what people have to think about with cops? I know it's very hard to do if you're not a cop, but I want you to try. You know that feeling that you get when you're driving on the highway? There's a reason why people get roid rage. Road road rage, rather. There's a reason why they get roid rage, too. Yeah, there is. There's a reason why they get road rage. And one of the The reason why they get road rage is is when you're on the road and you're driving, you're in a heightened state because your car is going 60 mph. So, you're ready at any time to hit the brakes, change lanes. So, you're in this heightened state. And then when someone does something like,

33:22"You [ __ ] idiot!" Yeah. "Jesus Christ!" Yeah. Where you would never do that. Like it took me a wild to to realize this. I I forget where I read it. And then when I read it, I was like, "Duh!" Cuz I was always like, "How come nobody treats people like that when they're walking?" Yeah. No one ever does that. No one by the car. gets in front of you when you're walking, you go, "Oh, that guy got in front of me." It's not an issue at all. But in a car, YOU'RE LIKE, "THAT [ __ ] ASSHOLE!" [ __ ] PIECE of [ __ ] "You [ __ ] cut in front of me!" Yeah. That's what it is, cuz you're at a heightened state. Now, imagine being a cop and every time you pull someone over, Yeah. you are You've We've all seen those videos of cops getting shot. Oh, yeah. We've all seen those videos of cops pulling people over, and then the

34:02windows explode and people fire on them. We've all seen those. They've seen them, too. They know people have been shot. Yeah. They have no idea who you are. They have no idea what's going on. No. So, when they come up to that car, they are at a heightened state. They have to be. They are literally To a criminal, they're the professional enemy. Yeah. Their job is to be the enemy of the criminal. Yeah. It's a [ __ ] crazy position to be in in society. And we don't treat it with enough respect. Yeah. And when the consequent when it when it goes badly, all we think about is that officer and that's a representative of all police officers. Well, that's not true. True. I think a lot of people, too, it's it's kind of hard like a lot of people, they go into getting pulled over with a heightened sense of emotion themselves. Sure.

34:47Which if you are that person getting pulled over for whatever you got pulled over for, if that's your like mentality in that moment, you are actually going to escalate things. You are as the person getting 100%. And and it it does take an effort to go "Okay, this guy, like you said, he's walking up here in a heightened state. Yeah. Like I can diffuse things. My I can diffuse them Yes. by how I conduct this." Yes. But some people, you know, first you have the people that are like the legal scholars who want to lecture the police officer on on his rights. Like, "Yeah, you can do that, man." Or there's the I have friends even. I have friends who are like "I hate cops. Cops are all pigs, you know, like and I've I've watched them speak to police officers in a way where I'm like, "Jesus Christ, man." Like it's so disrespectful. I go, "Yeah, you I go, but you are

35:44making this worse." Right. That's a human being. Yeah, yeah. I go, "You got to chill a little bit. You don't You don't know them. Yeah, you don't have to get on your knees, but you know, just like he's doing his thing. Just like let's try to let's try to smooth this thing out. Let's not try to make it worse. Try to make it better. Yeah, exactly. If I ever have an interaction with a cop, it's always "How you doing, sir? Yeah. What's happening, brother? Everything good?" Yeah, I I I I want it smooth and easy. Completely. Yeah. Yeah. And just that whole that's but I [ __ ] that those kind of generalizations, all cops are pigs, like [ __ ] off. No, it's not good. [ __ ] off. That's I don't like those generalizations with anything. Women are stupid. Shut [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. [ __ ] off. No, it's

36:25It's just It's just annoying. No, you're like most women are stupid. No. But no. But if you go if you go into the thing Yeah, like that. You're going Any interaction with the [ __ ] with the retail worker, a [ __ ] auto mechanic, anything. Any interaction. And sometimes I think if this comes with age sometimes you do meet a real piece of [ __ ] Oh, yeah. Like it could be a police officer. It can be the mechanic. It can be Car salesman. sales [ __ ] The car salesman, flight attendant. And I used to take I used to I would say I call it take the bait more, right? Feel the rage. Be become like escalate things. Yeah. It's a me Well, yeah. I'll be like I'll be like I mean I've said some regrettable things. You know? Because but I mean like I think with age now some one of the things that happens is you go like

37:17I you know, I think this person sucks and and internally and I go I'm just like I had a I had a flight where I've been on I don't know, a million flights, right? And it was early morning cross-country flight. And the flight attendant I was like uh she was like, "You want breakfast?" I was like, "Well, I'm going to zonk out here. So, maybe maybe when I wake up in a little while." And she goes, "No." She goes, "It's breakfast now." Woah. And I looked at her and I was like I was like that I I was just processing. I was like, "That's like It was super rude." When did that change? Pandemic? Did they just fire a bunch of people that would have been there for a long time and hire a bunch of new people and pay them less? I I I have a real trigger too for like disrespect or even perceived disrespect, you know? Where I I then become like

38:07I've I mean I almost got arrested at an airport one one time for this, you know? I ended up calling the TSA agent a pig. But but again, that was a few years ago. But this was like this I looked at her and I was like and in my mind I was I was I could have said like escalated things. And I just thought I go, "You know what? This like I don't know why she's an [ __ ] I don't know what's going on. I just went, "Yeah, I think I'm just going to sleep." I go, "I'm just going to sleep." She's like, "Okay." I just walked away. And she was like she was clearly rude. Yeah. And and like I'd never been spoken like most flight attendants when you go, "I'm going to I'm just going to sleep." She's They're They're like, "Yeah, I'll I'll check on you later see if you want to eat then." Like Yeah. "We'll keep it warm for you." They They're Yeah.

38:53She was so rude, but I just was like just why make this a thing, you know? I was just like I go, "I'm just going to sleep." It might be hard to find people to do that now. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah, no, they have huge The biggest issue in the in commercial air travel right now is staffing. Really? It's still staffing. Really? Absolutely. It's still staffing. It's It's why you'll you're finding an incredible number of delays. It's not just staffing for airlines. It's also staffing at air traffic control. Mhm. So all those all that is together. If you fly commercially, you'll notice that like I mean, it is a miracle to board and take off and land on time. Uh almost everything is delayed. Mhm. It is delayed. You have You have a lot of times your everything is functioning well then you get there. I can't tell you like how many flights are just like

39:45well, everyone's everything's ready to go and they're like, "Yeah, the crew's not here." Crew's here. This crew has to uh swap out. They've maxed out their hours. Now we're waiting for a new crew. This is like over and over. And then it happens at air traffic control. But they are not fully staffed yet either. So this just is a huge delay thing. I mean, commercial travel just needs to be revamped in the United States. Buttigieg is doing a great job. Yeah. Sure. They're doing great. He's the best. He's the best at it. Mhm. He's handling it. Don't worry. He's got it covered. Who's this? Pete Buttigieg. Oh, yeah. That's my guy. What is he Is he a Is he the the in He's the guy. He's the guy in charge of transportation. That's [ __ ] [ __ ] show. of the [ __ ] trains flying off the rails. You've You've done a terrible job, Pete.

40:36So, was it during COVID did people get fired and then they decided to do other things they never took the jobs again? Some people got fired. Some Some people I mean, I think more people were even just let go. Like, you know, there's a lot of places like that had to shut down their operations. They had no more revenue coming in. So, they let people go. And then you've seen what happened with what's what happened with commercial real estate? Mhm. Commercial real estate is upside down in this country. Is it? Yes. You know why? Why? Because people don't want to go to offices still anymore. Yeah, they want They want to do remote work. They want to do remote work in their pajamas and jerk off. So, the people who if you have these big commercial buildings, I mean, they the used to be like this huge uh asset to own this commercial real estate. And now it's like a

41:26liability. Mhm. Cuz you have empty offices, dude. You have empty offices all over the country. You can't fill them up. Mhm. force people. Then there's companies that have just I know somebody that owns a company that said we he goes, "I Like a lot of people goes, I wanted people to come here. I want them in the office." And he was met with like such total resistance. He goes, "I just realized I had to allow it. Like if if we were going to continue to operate." Wow. So, he he just gave in to his employees going, "No, we don't want to do that." Wow. And it's a sizable operation he has. Wow. So, people just say, "No, I want to work at home." Yeah, and they're like, "And I've been working and I'm effective." And and to a degree, they are like in his case they're he's like, you know, the work was getting done. I just prefer to have everybody

42:19operating the way we normally had, but he was like everybody was like, "No. I used to I I I had to I used to do an hour and a half commute every day. I don't want I did I hadn't done that now in 2 years. I don't want to do it again." Mhm. And then he had to go like, "Okay." As long as they're disciplined and as long as they're actually effective, I could see that. But then you get to the stupid ass office. What do we What do we do with this place? All these offices. Hence why this commercial real estate business is like in the [ __ ] Wow, I wonder what happens with that cuz it doesn't seem like that's going to change. But there are a lot of CEOs that are supposedly pushing back on all this stuff. I keep reading articles Yes. I think The interesting thing is you know how every like people always adapt, right? Things nothing just goes

43:01If something's losing money, people don't just go, "Well, I guess we'll just lose money forever." Right. So, there is going to be a point and maybe it's happening now where you're going to start seeing something done with this commercial property. Like some like if if things stay vacant, they're not just going to hold on to that for 15 years. Yeah. They're going to turn that into something. So, some [ __ ] comedian on Twitter saying that they should turn all that into housing Great. for homeless people. Yeah, that is very possible. really good if you don't own the building, you [ __ ] communist. Yeah. talking about? I got to say that also reminds me of this, you know, and I know this will be unpopular for a lot of people to hear, but the idea of forgiving uh student loans, it's a fantastic theory, but one thing that nobody considers who is a

43:53huge advocate of that is Okay, so somebody owns that debt. That debt is owned. So, are you saying when you say forgive, who are you saying will Are you saying that the government will just pay all of that debt? Do you have an idea the amount of debt that that is? Somebody owns the debt. So, you if you go forgive the debt, to what degree? Like, are you just saying erase it? It doesn't just disappear. The debt is owned. Right. So, when you say just pay it, who? Who are you saying will pay it? In taxes? Right, everybody's going to pay it then. Right, so the debt just doesn't get erased is my point. But, there is a bizarre issue with student loan debt. That student loan debt is the only debt that you can't declare bankruptcy Yeah, that part is That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. That doesn't make any sense. But, when you say forgive it, you

44:42it's not just like I think a lot of people say that and they go, I just don't want to pay this. Yeah, of course, I understand that. Yeah, but you realize that somebody has to pay it. Debt just it doesn't just go into the sky. Right. Somebody owns that debt. So, who's going to pay it? It's if you say that the the government will forgive student loans, I mean that amount has to be in like the trillions. I wonder what it is. Let's find out. What's the collective student loan debt in the United States as of 20 is a differentiation in this conversation that it's federal student loan debt, not private student loan debt, which is a big difference. Okay. Cuz that's companies that do own that debt versus like the government that granted is just federal federal student Pretty sure of that. Okay, so there's two different types of loan debt. So, I would I'd want to know

45:34what it is compared to the military-industrial complex budget. Oh, yeah. Right. That budget is astronomical. boy. They accidentally paid an extra 6 billion to Ukraine. They're like, whoops. Whoopsie. See, this with this statement, I don't know if this is differentiating that either. Says it's 1.78 trillion in student loan debt. a lot, dude. to the US? That's more than people owe on any other type of debt in the US except for mortgages. Though, the Biden administration is trying to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan balances. That's more than people owe on any other type of debt in the US well, except for mortgages. But I mean isn't that like you see what I'm saying? Like if you if you just say, "Hey, forget erase this debt." Okay, I I mean I get it but you do understand that that has to come from somewhere. Right. It's not just their

46:20them going their debt. Yeah, that is both. That is federal and private together. Okay, so that's all of it. 1.75 trillion. Mhm. Click on that so we can see what it says. It says there It says on on average Mhm. It says uh cost of college has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In that time frame tuition costs at public four-year colleges grew from $4,160 to $10,740 and from $19,360 to $38,070 It's crazy. at private nonprofit institutions adjusted for inflation. All costs have risen, so is the need for student loans and other forms of financial aid. Imagine if you're a person that makes a hundred grand a year and your kid is going to school and it costs $38,000 a year. And then your kid gets out and they get a $50,000 a year job and you realize they're never going to pay this back. It's insane. It's what they're doing is like it is

47:13It says 92% of all student debt are federal student loans. The remaining amount is private student loans. Okay, so it's a it's a trillion. It's a trillion plus. Yeah. That's a lot, dude. It's a lot. And so how much have we spent on Ukraine and how much are we going to spend on Ukraine? But here's the thing. Like if you forgave that debt, wouldn't that spark the economy? Wouldn't like if if people have more money The thing about when people have more money, people spend more money. When people spend more money they the economy does better. If people are straddled with student loan debt, I got to think that somehow or another cripples the economy. I don't think you're wrong in theory about that. I mean it would it would seem that like you'd obviously have more to do you could do more with your money. And it's not like you're giving people

47:54money, you're just absolving them of debt. Which is a huge one. The real problem is the the whole predatory student loan situation. That's the That's a real problem. And it's also a real problem to saddle down a 17-year-old with debt that they will keep for the rest of their life. And they hit you at that same time at the student union with your first credit card. And they're like, "Just use this." And it's got 29.9% You're like, "Okay." And you need to do it to build your credit. I need to. I need to build my credit. And you're paying you're paying 26 bucks a month for a coffee you bought. You know, it's it's crazy. It is crazy. Yeah. It's the whole thing is insane, but it's insane that we do it to kids. Because, you know, kids don't have a sense of the future. They just don't. They've only been alive for 18 years. 18 years is not enough time to figure out

48:42how what kind of debt you're going to be in when you're 70. Don't you wonder too why why when we're in school, and it's still not a thing when kids are in school, we don't like really teach them about money? Like, you don't you don't learn [ __ ] about money. You don't learn [ __ ] And I'm saying at any level, elementary school, high school We don't learn [ __ ] about anything you need to manage life. No. You're basically learning how to say words and not form sentences. You don't learn about Yeah, you don't learn about money. You don't learn about nutrition. No. Nothing about that. You don't learn about thinking. No. you you know how many kids could be saved from a lifetime of [ __ ] if you just explained to them why jealousy why it affects them. Sure. Emotions. Yeah. Explain that the

49:26these are just natural human emotions that we evolve, but you have to learn how to conquer that. And you learn how to pro you learn that like one of the most amazing it's it seems like it's something you should be taught in like middle school is feel feeling let them sit. Yes. Yeah. When you feel jealous, you're not you're not supposed to never feel jealous. Right. But you learn to go, "Okay, that's the feeling. Yeah. I'm feeling and this is why I feel jealous about it. And guess what? All feelings they they dissipate. But you it's they get worse they extend when you fight them, when you resist it. I don't want to feel it. And you And you And you don't want to actually process the feeling and deal with it. I mean, having that understanding that all those emotions are natural to have, it it's like it really is something that

50:08could serve you so much better to learn younger. I don't want to learn that at 40. Right. Teach me that at 13. Right. You know? Yeah, it would make high school a lot easier to deal with. Yeah. I mean, they should teach kids the value of exercise in terms of mental health. The the benefits of the house and all that. Nope. You have to figure that out on your own. Yeah. You figure that out through trial and error, through your own life. Totally. Yeah, nobody's teaching Unless you're listening to podcast, nobody's teaching you that in school. How to think? No, no one's teaching you how to think. And no one's teach No one who you admire who lives a a good life is teaching you how they do it. Yeah. You know, that's that's another thing. People are real stingy with, you know, their own personal success formulas. Oh, yeah. Well, that's when

50:48you That's one of my big like the litmus test for a good person, like when I when I go, "This is a cool motherfucker." is people who are willing to share information. Mhm. It's a It's a really like it's a gauge for like a solid person. Yeah. Is when you go like like, "How did you uh How'd you build this studio?" There's the person who goes, "Uh it just takes work. I had my my guys." And you're like, "All right." Right, that's them going like, "I'm not going to tell you." Right. It's mine. Exactly. And then there's a person who's like, "Here's his card. Give him a call. He's awesome." It's like people who share information, whatever it is, Mhm. are the people who don't have that insecurity that like, "Well, if if you have it, then it's no longer mine." Right. And by the way, it's only good. It's good for the person like say if it's your it's someone who does

51:35something. You need a a mechanic. I have the best [ __ ] mechanic in Austin. This guy's a [ __ ] Yeah. I'll tell you about him. I'll [ __ ] you know, and then if you do that and then he gets work. Yeah. And then he goes, "Oh, Joe says you're awesome." Oh, that's nice. It It feels good. Isn't that amazing though? How how people Some people are like, "No, that's my mechanic." Yeah, but if I call if I give you him, I need my [ __ ] car worked on first. First, yeah. First. Yeah, yeah. Okay? It's such a stupid So, you got to tell me if you're going to bring your car in cuz if I need my car worked on, I called first. Yeah. Ugh. It's gross. It's just famine. Famine mentality. Yeah. It's common in everything. It's a stupid mindset. But, it also comes from being around groups of people that think that way. If

52:17you if you get fortunate enough to be around someone who doesn't think that I'm very fortunate in martial arts cuz in martial arts it's a very meritocracy based thing where and it's also you need really good people to get good. Yeah. So, everybody like cherishes and and and also respects and celebrates people that are really good. Yeah. Cuz it's like it's good for everybody. It is. It's all it's good in comedy, too. When you see someone killing you, you're like, "Damn, go go watch this guy. Watch this guy." Yeah. [ __ ] Yeah. And then you get a juice a little juice out of it. Yeah, you look at it the right way. Yeah, you do. Watching great stand-up is like medicinal. Mhm. It is inspiring. Yes, yes, yes. It makes and it makes you go like I mean, I think I told you this that like when I was at the club and Natel was in town, Mhm. it was just a great

53:03remind not just watching him on stage, which was fantastic, but just hanging out with him. Yes. It just took me like it actually took me back to like oh, yes, like hanging out with somebody like this in the green room reminds you of all the things you love about doing stand-up. The green room at that club has been the greatest thing that I've ever experienced. Yeah, it's been great. Because I knew well, first of all, I knew the the setup was perfect cuz both both rooms are right next to the the green room is in the center in the center. It's literally you mean you can go from the green room onto the little stage in 30 seconds. And then you can go downstairs to get to the other one and you're watching on the monitors and you got the balcony. Yeah. It's so centrally located. It's so perfect. Yeah. And you you're above you can go watch the show from the balcony.

53:48Yeah. So anytime like, you know, Shane Gillis is on stage, go out there and watch his set. We'll watch his set. And you go back inside and everybody's laughing. It's [ __ ] amazing. The hang is so good. Yeah. It's It's all about the hang. Cuz that was the You know, that's what we used to always say that about the store, too. It's that What was the best part of the store? You go to the parking lot. Yeah. in the parking lot and you shoot the [ __ ] with people. this is we have a parking lot with a bar and a private bathroom. It's like the whole thing is set up. It's It's nice. It's awesome. It's so nice. But the the just that be able to be around those guys all the time. Rich Vos was in last week. Oh my god, he's fun. I was uh I think Tony Woods is there this weekend. I was trying to cuz I only came in for the night.

54:32Um but I I was trying to make it get last night. I got delayed. I couldn't come on Monday. Is Tony Woods there this weekend? Tony Woods is a funny [ __ ] Tony Woods is so Oh my god, he's so good. I was so excited to get him in here. He went to the Vulcan. That [ __ ] guy went went on on stage at the Vulcan with some [ __ ] that he was just talking about in the green room. Like it just and something not a bit. He did organic. And then went on stage. He was killing for 5 minutes with it. Yeah. Just so smooth. So What a veteran. Tony was a veteran when I met him. Yeah. So I met him in like 92? 91? Somewhere in there. And no and no like arrogance about that guy. verses. Yeah. Sends me Bible verses and tells me God bless me. All the time. All the time, dude. There he is. People don't even know. He's so good, folks. If you get this

55:24When is this coming out? Is this coming out tomorrow? Tomorrow. Yeah, so if you get this July 7th through 9th, Tony Woods at the Mothership. It's probably already sold out. Can't recommend it enough. He's so good. Shoreline Amphitheater in um Northern California. I think that's what it's called. Mhm. Just north of San Francisco San Francisco with um Chappelle and like a lineup, you know, like a festival style lineup. Dude, Tony Woods went up like fifth and did I don't know, 20 minutes, 18, 20 minutes. And it was 22,000 people. Woo! They got a standing ovation. God. And the rest of us just looked at each other and we were like, "Oh, shit." We all We all had to go after him. We were like, "Fuck." And he got off and I go, "What the [ __ ] was that?" Like, you standing ovation. He goes, "It was a college set." That's what he cuz

56:16it it was like a set that he did at college. It was It was a college set. And I go, "What the [ __ ] man?" you talking about the college? That's how it's called, yes, baby. Also, Chappelle fans know. Like real hardcore Chappelle fans know. Yeah, that Dave was really inspired by Tony and they've been friends for decades. Yes. Dave was like teenager. A teenager. And DC. Yeah. Yeah, and they've been friends for decades. Yeah. I'm so glad the internet sort of brought Tony Woods back in people's mind. Yeah. You guys don't know. If if If you have not seen this guy, Yeah. truly a masterful stand-up. Masterful. And a tough ass guy. Yeah. He's on the podcast Thursday? Thursday. Yeah. So [ __ ] funny. I love that guy. Yeah. But but he's the sweetest guy in the world, man. He probably The funny thing is he's probably done what I just described to

57:04you so many times that if you brought it up to him, he'd be like, "Oh, yeah, you know, I'm out there killing." Yeah, you know. But it's that guy that has a total lack of promotion. He doesn't promote and he's he has zero promotion in him. He doesn't promote anything, unfortunately, because the talent level's through the [ __ ] roof. He's one of the best comics on Earth. Totally. Top 20 on Earth. I bet he could also is one of the guys who legitimately like at your club, if he wanted to, could do like five different sets. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's been around forever. And he just he's got material and everything. That's my theme park set, man. Yeah. Okay. Oh, that's Cowboys are in town. You know, what the [ __ ] Is that your new hour? That's from '96, man. Okay. Yeah. No, he's a murderer. Yeah. It's so good. But, you know, it's like

57:57that's the beautiful thing about this business is you will run into those guys that are much more talented than they are popular. Yes. And then you run into people that are much more popular than they are talented. People that are really good at staying popular and not not That's a skill set. That's what you realize the long the longer you do this. And I think that is only relevant in the internet age, in the age of this where like people there are people who always have that thing of like they know how to get people talking about them. Yes. And juiced up about them. And it becomes the it becomes like the thing that they actually worked on. You go, "What have you been working on?" They're like, "Staying popular." Right. Look at my promotions. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a big thing. But then you look at their stand-up and you go, "Do you got to do that with that

58:43stuff?" I remember I remember like an early version of this where this guy was like, "Can you get me on stage at this club?" And he had he had I I kind of knew I didn't know him well. And I probably should have listened to my own inner dialogue about that. But I was like, you know, you feel the pressure when the person's right in front of you. So, I go, "All right. So, the club owner is there." And I go, "Can my friend do a spot?" And they're like, "Is he good?" And I'm like, "Yeah." So, he goes up and he he pretty much just eats [ __ ] right? And I was like, "Fuck." And so, of course the club guy is like the [ __ ] was that? And I'm like, I don't know. So I talked to him. And I go, dude. You know, he goes, just if you'll let me do another a set on the late show, I'll do a different set. And I was like So I I go, let him do a different set on

59:51the late show. And the club owner is like, no. Are you sure? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And here's the thing. How many years in were you? A few, not many. Not now. And I go, no, no, no. And I go uh I go all right. Here's the thing, the reason I even brought this up is that the guy, this is years ago, had like the best website I'd ever seen at the time. I was like, this website's [ __ ] amazing. And like all his marketing tools were incredible. You know, like he had like cool business card and like you went to his site and you were like, [ __ ] It looks like you locate. Yeah, dude, like his site looked like [ __ ] Nike built it, you know. I was like, this thing is [ __ ] rad, you know. And he goes up on the second the hit for a second set, not only does he eat [ __ ] but he does the same set as like as the first,

60:44right? And I go, dude, you did the same [ __ ] And he was just like, yeah. And I could see he was in the And I actually left and I go all your [ __ ] is cool. Your website on I go, you got to work more on what you're doing on stage though. Like that's your priority. Don't you think though that that's like a distraction because they're not working on that other stuff? 1000%. So they they concentrate on the promotion because they distract themselves from the fact they're not working on the difficult stuff. And not only is that 100% true, but there's so many parallels in life to that. We can all go like, I'm working on this thing to avoid this thing. And then you can And especially if you get good at the side thing Mhm. and then people go like, "Oh, wow. Yeah, your cooking really has gotten incredible." And then you're just like

61:30not working on anything else, you know? It's very easy to do. And we can all trick ourselves. Mhm. Very very easy to trick yourself. Yeah, it's very easy to do. Yeah. It's um With stand-up it's incredibly easy to be like, "I'm working on this other project though." Right. And you can make excuses. I did that when I was on NewsRadio, for sure. I was doing the same set for like 2 years. I wasn't fixing anything. Kills you internally. Killed me. Killed me um just my ability. I was I wasn't connected to the material anymore. I was just saying it. You know? And then I had one set in front of some producers and I bombed, ate [ __ ] And then I I really felt bad. I really felt cuz I knew why I ate [ __ ] I just I knew I had a flat set which was not connected. Wasn't and I knew I wasn't working on it. I hadn't written

62:21anything in a long time. And then I bore down and I got way better. Like within 6 months I was I was killing. I was doing all this new [ __ ] I was completely reinvigorated. You know? I was also getting better sets too. Like the the sh- the set I bombed it was like 1:00 a.m. in the main room where you cannot be sucky. You have to grab those people Really? and hang on to them. You have to They have to know you're good. You They've seen everything. It's 1:00 in the morning in Hollywood. And I was, you know, going on after people that were way better than me. I just ate [ __ ] Yeah, you need those sets though. They're so good for you. Those [ __ ] bombs. It's like heartbreak, too. You need those It sounds like a terrible counterintuitive thing to feel bad is good for you, but you need perspective and it only The

63:14real perspective only comes the hard way. Disappointment. Yeah, disappointment. Heartbreak like you said. Heartbreak is a is a real good one. Yeah, failure. Yeah, you fail. Failure in a relationship, failure in a friendship, failure in a business venture, failure artistically, failure athletically, failure, failure, failure. Yeah, that [ __ ] right there. Dude, when you were saying the patella, did that I I had a patella tendon graft on my left knee and when I got my ACL reconstructed and they took a slice of the patella. They they were like, "Don't worry about it. That thing is really big." I was like, "Now I'm thinking about it. I'm like, how big is it?" You know mine snapped. He goes uh He goes like 90 Forget the 93% of patellar tendon tears happen at a connection point. In other words, you know, there's two points of connection

64:05either at the uh on the patella or on the what is it? The tibia? Might be incorrect. Yeah. He's like, "You're snapped in the middle." He goes, "Which just takes a tremendous amount of force." Oof. Which makes sense when you think about how cuz I was leaping. Mhm. He's like, "You're leaping as hard as you can." Right. And you were tired and you'd [ __ ] it up the couple of days before, right? I [ __ ] it up earlier that day. Oh, Jesus. And so and he's like he's like, "So it's a really weird like it's a unusual place to tear." Mhm. Injuries, bro. Injuries, yeah. I've had so many. Yeah. But, you know what? That's what another good thing about martial arts and jiu-jitsu. It's like I understand like that there's stuff you have to do to make sure you don't get injured as often. Yeah. Like that's one of the reasons why I

64:49stay strong. Like I don't want to be weak. When you're weak, you get hurt. You know, when old people, that's one of the major reasons why they fall down is just they're feeble. Yeah. You know, there's a there's an interesting video not a video um photography series of cross sections of people's anatomy done through MRI. Mhm. So they show a a sedentary person next to a 70-year-old triathlete. It's wild. They show a 40-year-old sedentary person next to a 40-year-old uh a triathlete. And there's all these I mean, obviously, I'm not saying you have to be a triathlete, but just being strong being strong enough to do stuff is so important. The only way you get that way is lifting weights and working out. thing I I keep preaching to my friends and my family circle of people I'm around, especially guys Guys and women, I want to make that point, too. Women, too. is

65:46you have to have resistance, weight resistance. People get into their They when they hear that, they keep thinking like tremendously heavy weight. Like, "Oh, I'm not going to be a powerlifter." And you're like, "No shit." Like, and you shouldn't even try to be. Just Yeah, there it is. Look at the cross-section. So, the top is the guy who has the um the workout schedule. And it's all muscle. And then the bottom is just mostly fat. The same size leg. And there's just this weak-ass bitch-ass muscle around the fat. Yeah. When I see that, I want to leg kick him. That bottom one, I just just imagine what damage you're doing slamming a shin into that. When you're in the hotel gyms, and sometimes you see these dudes of all ages, but I would say starting at like 40 into the 70s is the guy who walks in He walks in with kind of like the beginning of dropped head syndrome.

66:39Like this. And immediately, you know this guy's going to the elliptical or treadmill. Mhm. Cuz that guy doesn't lift weights. Nobody like And all you have to do like not all you have to do, but if you want to avoid that path weight training. Yes. Start lifting weights. Have some type of resistance training. Put your body under that stress, your muscles and your skeletal structure under the stress of picking up something and resisting. Build your muscle. Yeah. I have like this conversation with my cousins and my siblings and my friends all the time who I I I see on the path of like not touching weights. Yeah. Like dude, it's not going to you're not going to be fine just doing the elliptical. Right. It's you're going to deteriorate. Even guys that I know that do jujitsu, especially as they get into their 40s, I always tell them, "You're not working

67:29out, you're not other than training? You're only doing jujitsu?" And they're like, "Yeah." I go, "Dude, at least once a week you should be lifting weights. At least once a week. You really should be doing it a little bit every day." Yeah. The The key is a little every day. That's the Pavel Tsatsouline method. You know, I think if you can if you're doing something else like jujitsu, you really you can get by with a couple of workouts in the morning and a couple of workouts in the afternoon where you're not even killing yourself. You're just like doing some kettlebells, doing some chin-ups, doing some push-ups, but you're making your body do these things. Even if you do only one set of chin-ups, you do 10 10 chin-ups, do 20 dips, do 20 push-ups, do 20 bodyweight squats. Just do that. Just do that. Just that. That's weight. It's

68:12your physical weight, your body weight. Yeah. You know, and if you can get some kettlebells, get some kettlebells and do, you know, 10 clean presses each side. It's not a lot. It'll take you 2 minutes. Do it in the morning, do it at night. Do it twice. If you do that all the time, your body just gets accustomed to doing that all the time, and then you develop tissue that that protects your joints and your tendons get stronger, and then you you know, you have the ability to do stuff. Yeah. But you can tell I mean like those scans are wild obviously. They ain't you seeing the real thing. But when I see just like regular dudes that are older and you see the guy that is active, it really blows you away. Just the way that they stand. Yeah. They stand a different way. Yeah, man. Their shoulders are back and you go, "Oh man, this guy Yeah, this

69:01guy's been active for 40 years." Yeah. And the guy that is [ __ ] walking down the hall like this. I always find those dads. I always find those dads that like when I have these parent-teacher things. I'm like, "That guy lifts weights." Hey, buddy. Yeah, yeah. You you click with them. I saw some dude that jacked dude the other day. I was like, "You're my new friend." Left out the 40-year-old. It looks the same. Yeah, the 40-year-old triathlete. I was trying to explain that, but that was just yeah. It's basically the same. Same amount of muscle tissue. That's incredible. Yeah. Well, Was that at a parent-teacher thing? I Yeah, a super jacked guy. T-shirt, shorts. I was like, "Look at you, buddy. We're hanging in there." That's cool. Yeah. That's the thing though is you actually you start to be drawn to people like that.

69:45Oh, yeah. I know that guy's [ __ ] putting in the work. Yeah. Like a a guy who can be that fit at 55 years old when I see him, I'm like, "All right, that's a winner. I can hang out with that guy." to hang out with that winner. Winner mentality. That guy knows how to do it. If you're still you haven't quit now and you know you're driving a Porsche, so you have money. So like, okay, why you haven't you haven't laid back now? Okay. Yeah, you got to get that Porsche, too. That's my buddy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just you you know, you can not do it. You don't have to. But if you want if you want your life to be better, it's it's one of those things. It has to be done. Yeah, you guys like who are in their 50s are just going to you're going to be the guys that in your 60s and 70s people go like, "You're [ __ ] 65? Holy shit."

70:26Yeah, there was this dude that was training with Tim Kennedy a couple months back. He posted on his Instagram. And then his dad came. His dad was 70. Six-pack. Fit as [ __ ] Really? Dude was wild. 70. Okay. Canary in the coal mine. That's what I used to say about Stallone. He was my canary in the coal mine. Yeah. He still gets after it. fat as [ __ ] though at one point in time. He did. got a giant belly. I don't know if that was for a movie. He did. Is that for a movie? Yeah, there was a movie where they he plays like a either a police officer or a security guard and they told him, "You got to get fat." You got to get fat. He did. He was like, "I was eating pancakes every day." You know, he's just he went That's a rough thing to do when you're 70. I think this was actually it was a little while ago for this one. So, maybe

71:04we're thinking about two different movies, but yeah, that Oh, no, no, no. I remember that. I remember that. That was a very good movie. Yeah, he got he actually gained that weight. There's like a flood or something, right? What was that movie? Cop Land. That was a very good movie and he was very good in it. He was. act. Yeah, he can. He but I remember watching him talk about gaining weight for that. So, you're saying a different a different one. No, it's recent. It's recent. He was on the beach and I think he was going through a divorce. He's probably drinking a lot of beer. Okay. Cuz he got divorced for a little while or he was getting divorced and then he stopped getting Yeah, why do I know this? But there was a Sylvester Stallone belly on beach. He was real fat on the beach. See, we're used to him looking like in that picture where he's got the T-shirt. Yeah.

71:48How old is he now? Chill going to him. Yeah. That's not even a good That's not even a bad one. Some of the other ones are like Yeah, there he is. Like he's [ __ ] huge belly. Yeah. That's beer, son. That's beer and lasagna. That's what that is. That's giving in to them guinea instincts. Yeah, for sure. Dude, when we went to the Bronx, we went to New Jersey had a UFC a month ago. the sandwich thing you were talking Yes. It was so good. Do you know that like my salivary glands watching the video were like Like a dog. I think one of my favorite like when you talk about like your favorite things to eat for me like an Italian sub like a Giovanni Oh. Italian one with all the meats.

And you eat it. But it's also like the perfect chicken. Like their their chicken's off the charts. Yeah, fried chicken. Just But it's also it's like that recipe. They got it down. They've been doing it forever. They know exactly how to serve you a Roscoe's fried chicken. Where you you eat it you're like, "Uh This is what I was waiting for."

78:27Yeah, and then the sugar rush and the waffle and the [ __ ] butter. Yeah. And then you dip the chicken in the [ __ ] Maybe a little hot sauce, too. [ __ ] it. Let's go. Woo! I need naps right after that. Naps. Yeah, your insulin crashes. Your your whole body's like, what? Your sugar crashes. And what are you doing to yourself? What is this?

No. There's no It's the the wildest trick your body does to you is to especially with like a big heavy sugar meal. Your your body tricks

79:20you into thinking it's good while you're doing it. does. It's totally a trick. You know that when you eat to capacity feeling and you're and you're like, I feel sick. I think I ate like that every day for 15 years. Yeah, that's my number one problem. Yeah, I was like But I don't do that when I eat the carnivore diet. Yeah, I don't do it. Meat has a high level of satiety, I think is the word. Which means you get satiated. Yeah, you get satiated really real quickly. You know, when your body's had enough, you're like, yeah, you've had enough. You had enough. Yeah. It's good. Then you just look over at that freezer and you're like, is there ice cream in You guys got ice cream? Got to earn that ice cream, son. Ice cream is a is a Yeah. That's That's a hard one. Oh, yeah, ice cream is Oh, yeah, a whole [ __ ] pint of that

80:04[ __ ] I'll get in there. Yeah. I'll do the [ __ ] where like I I see them, you know, at the grocery store. Yeah. And I I start grabbing and then all of a sudden like the next day Christina will be like, are there six different pints of ice cream there? I'm like, I don't know, the kids are here. So they might like them. They're like, what are you talking about? The kids are here. The kids ate ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Mine was mint chocolate chip. Really? Yeah. I actually love chocolate chip, not mint. Really? Yes. I like chocolate chip, not mint, too. Yeah, that shit's my [ __ ] is my absolute favorite. I remember uh the first time I got high with Eddie. He took me to we went to Baskin-Robbins and I had an ice cream sundae and I was like, "This is the greatest thing the world has ever invented." A hot fudge

80:46sundae. Bro. I was like, it was insane. Oh. It's a it whatever the [ __ ] marijuana does to your senses of like especially your sense of taste, it's insane. yeah. We used to in college we used to get high out of our minds like like full bong rips, joints like just eyes bleeding like and then we would take um we'd take a blender, put in like a whole tub of ice cream, milk, and then scoops of peanut butter. Oh. Blend that up and it just felt like you were drinking peanut butter. Oh. And then when you're high and I would do it until I vomit. Like I would just I would I would drink them until I puked. Cuz there's no alarm that goes off that goes, "Stop." You're like, "No, it's too" you feel like a dog like an animal just like Yeah. If you leave a dog if around the food it wants, it just eats until it's sick, you know. Your body has

81:38to be so confused as to what form this food is taking, too. Yeah. Like if you're if you're having like a like a milkshake, there's so much sugar and it's frozen and there's milk. Like what is this? this? What the [ __ ] is this? Your body has no reference like if your body's eating an apple like oh this is a very sweet apple but it's an apple. I know what to do with this. Your body's eating that. It's like, "What the [ __ ] is this?" What is this? What is this? It's not. Yeah. Like an ice cold Coca-Cola. Oh my god, your body's like, "Give me more of that. What the [ __ ] is that?" Also that that everyone's we all know it that formula at McDonald's. Why that's the best tasting Coke and Diet Coke on the planet? Why? They have it cuz what happens is when you when you're in an establishment like a restaurant, you get you know uh a

82:26formula like the the the gun has a blend. And there's definitely a different formula at the McDonald's at McDonald's. Oh, has there been anything written about this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, interesting. I didn't know that. Oh, how go if you would drive by a McDonald's and you get a diet coke, you'll be like, what the [ __ ] Okay, typically restaurants get their soda syrups in plastic bags, but Coca-Cola does something different for McDonald's. The fast food chain gets their coke syrup delivered in stainless steel tanks. According to the New York Times, the material keeps the soda fresher and your tongue can taste the difference. That's 1000% it can. Right, but is it a more potent blend or is it just because it's in the tanks? know, but it does taste so much better. It says their filtration system is top-tier. It is superior Why is all these articles

83:12about it being superior? would say both. Like regular coke, you're all sudden you're like, oh man. And diet McDonald's has an article. Yeah. McDonald's does. It says, "There are many reasons the Coca-Cola tastes so great at McDonald's. We simply follow the guidelines set by Coca-Cola and take steps to ensure that we serve a high-quality fountain beverage." Well, congratulations, you do that. Yes. The water and Coca-Cola syrup are pre-chilled before entering our fountain dispensers with the ratio syrup set to allow for ice to melt. Oh, so that it doesn't get watered down with the ice. So, they are making it stronger. But, that's smart. this tell you something though that how everything is in the details? You know what I mean? Like, this is something that probably a restaurant would be like, Coca-Cola would say you should do this and they go, "Whatever." Right.

83:55like, whatever. We'll just we'll just put it in the gun and and and but I I believe that McDonald's sticks to that because it is consistent and it is so much different tasting. Even what they said about their straws. So, their straws are typically wider than the typical straw. So, you have a different amount coming in. Yeah, give it to me. Right in my face hole, you [ __ ] heads. [ __ ] my mouth with coke. Yeah. Yeah, big old fat tube of it. So [ __ ] good. Extra syrupy cuz what if the ice melts? Yeah. What if the ice melts? You don't want some the ice is better there. They have better ice? They have better ice. filtered water, they said. Well, there you go. By the way, we're not paid by McDonald's for this. No. I don't even eat that stuff. But if I did, it's Filet-O-Fishes. Filet-O-Fish. I could eat five of those [ __ ] I

84:39love Filet-O-Fishes. I don't even know what that is. McDonald's has this thing, too, where there's a temperature swing where it goes from being the best thing you can eat at that moment to This is unedible. dog food. Right. Yeah, you're like, "Throw this down." I was uh in California a few months ago, and I had a Quarter Pounder. It was actually quite a while ago, 10 months ago. And I had a Quarter Pounder for the first time in [ __ ] forever. I haven't But I was starving, and I had to eat, and I was headed to the airport. I'm like, "Let me just pull in this drive-thru real quick. I'll get a Quarter Pounder." It's so sweet. Yeah. Like I could taste the sugar in the Quarter Pounder. Their bread even is I think sweet. tasted like a pastry. Yeah. I was like, "This is interesting." It was very good. Yeah. I enjoyed it.

85:20I really did. I'm a Quarter Pounder fan. I don't know what they're doing, but it's it's [ __ ] delicious. That's the thing I think you really notice about certain foods when you stay away from them for a while, is that when you reintroduce them, you go, "Oh, I didn't realize that I was This is This tastes way different." Yeah, way different. I thought it was going to taste like an In-N-Out cheeseburger. Yeah. Like a cheeseburger. Like In-N-Out is the gold standard for me. For for fast food places, that's the You can't [ __ ] with In-N-Out. But they have a standard. And and Five Guys. They have standard. I mean, In-N-Out has high standards. Oh, yeah. Whether or not they they are for your palate, you can't negate that they have high standards. Some people hate their fries. I'm like, "How can you hate their fries?"

86:01You see them chop the potatoes in the back. I just wish they did it beef tallow, cuz they do it in some [ __ ] seed oils. That's what what That's what they Yeah, I'm sure. What is it What does In-N-Out use oil for their fries? Everybody uses like canola oil, which is basically industrial lubricant. That stuff was invented to lube up machines. Really? Sunflower oil, same [ __ ] Yeah. You're not supposed to get that much sunflower oil in your body at one point in time. It's not normal. But they definitely I've seen them Sounds healthy, doesn't it? It does actually. Sunflower sounds good. That shit's not healthy. They watch them they're chopping the produce right there. Oh yeah, right in front of you. Right in front of you. The the meat is fresh, it's not frozen. And you taste it. Nice biblical verse on the bottom of the cup. Aw, that's so sweet.

86:47I when I you know what I love? Flying Dutchmans. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's what I get. The secret menu is is really fascinating. They have an it's wild. Animal style and all that jazz. Yeah, nothing's on the not printed though. Yeah, how do you find that out? You got to know somebody. Yeah, somebody told me about the first time and then I googled it and it's it's much more extensive than you it's not like two or three things. Oh yeah, it's a [ __ ] ton. It's a lot of things, yeah. Things I've never even heard of before. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot. Yeah. Yeah, but it's [ __ ] delicious. Mhm. Yeah, I'm a fan. I'm a fan. But there is such a different taste though than a McDonald's burger. McDonald's burger is like it was sweet. I'd like to know how much what how many how many grams of sugar's in a quarter

87:26pounder? It's got to be It's and I'm telling you it's got to be from that bread, too. That bread to be from everything. It seems like it's from the ketchup, too. It seemed like the condiments had some sugar. Higher sugar content. Yeah, just tasted like it had sugar in it. Like I'm real sensitive to that. So I eat and I'm like it was good though. I also love a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Ooh, I love a Chick-fil-A. Yeah. I love She's so funny, man. great. Oh, she's so funny. 10 g. 10 g of sugar. Even if it's added though. So that might be the bread. Mhm, okay. So it's two natural and eight added. So it must be 8 g of sugar in the bread. Yeah. Yeah. That's in a quarter pounder? Yeah, that's kind of a lot. Yeah. Like a really sugary drink. Maybe it's the ketchup even. Mhm, yeah, that's what I was saying too. I felt like the ketchup was kind of sweet.

88:19So, it's probably the bun and the ketchup. Good though. So good. It's a good move to put that 8 g in there. Yeah. It's so [ __ ] good. It makes it more delicious if you're only looking for something delicious. heard of McDonald's secret menu? No. They have some weird [ __ ] on here like this. The land, sea, and air burger? fillet, chicken, and burger. Wow. The difference is though, I feel like if you you if you order that. If you yeah, if you order that, first of all, I think they'd be like, "The [ __ ] are you talking about?" Look at this McCrape. The McGangBang. Shut the [ __ ] up. There's no way. I swear these are real, I swear. Are you serious? know which places are going to really know about them, but I've seen people ask like they follow through with a video and go ask for some of the stuff.

88:59What? There's a weird viral thing going on right now with them cuz they have a Grimace milkshake. Yeah, people are making some crazy videos about like what happened to me after I ate drank this Grimace Red Band did with uh 100% yeah. What everyone Red Band did with Pepsi Spice? No. Did you never knew about that? No. It's the greatest troll Red Band ever pulled off. Really? Red Band bought pepsispice.com and then he documented his enjoying delicious Pepsi Spice. And so, as he's drinking Pepsi Spice, he's losing weight, he's getting blood in his diarrhea, he's he's dying. At the end of he's making videos. This is like young I don't know what the how this has to do with anything. What does it have to do with anything? Oh stuff. But yeah. filming himself drinking Pepsi Spice with himself. So, anyway, he so he made he bought pepsispice.com and he had to give it to

90:03Pepsi after a while. Oh, really? But I mean I think it still exists somewhere online, but they came to him and they were like "Hey, you [ __ ] We'll kill you." Because he's it went viral you know at the time like whatever viral is in the year 2001 Imagine like the the threat from a corporation like that with the blog for it The Pepsi Spice project Yeah it's very funny Wait continues to add I like to stamp yesterday it says I'm I'm afraid to have sex I keep thinking that my over caffeinated sperm would blow a hole through the back of a girl's head like what It's just so stupid stupid but that's the funnest thing to do is a stupid bit But that's that's Red Band he loves silly [ __ ] so for him it was like the ultimate platform to like to find a non sophisticated company that doesn't recognize the internet so you

90:55didn't buy pepsispice.com before you release Pepsi Spice you [ __ ] idiot Yeah but back then companies didn't even care about websites what's a website we sell Pepsi still can like hoes that you see it on social media where they'll they'll grab a Twitter handle and the company hasn't locked it down yet they'll tweet like they're from that company Well people are tweeting like they're from Bud Light now because you know there's there's Bud Light if you go Bud Light underscore so they're making these like very subtle commercials that are like almost as like nothing goes with wieners like Bud Light Wow You know and it's like two hot dogs I didn't realize people were like what It's real it's a parody account and then there it is a parody account but it's subtle I didn't realize that that uh that like what's it called um uh you know

91:50them people abandoning it would be that like I didn't realize it really has stuck and and they there was a I saw an article about revenue and like and and the the share that they have of the market and how it has totally taken a shift. Like 26 billion dollars. That's crazy. Yeah. They really, really did. Boy, that's the word I was looking for. They were boycotting it. Yeah. And then the trans movement got mad that they didn't support Dylan Mulvaney. So, a lot of like LGBTQ and whatever the other letters are, those bars stopped carrying Bud Light. So, it's really Cuz they felt like Bud Light didn't back them up. And then there was video footage of them sponsoring a pride parade. So, it's like a Bud Light parade truck with a bunch of people dancing around like, "We like to [ __ ] guys, too." And I like "I'm a girl and I like to [ __ ]

92:45girls." Like it's whatever it is. It's like they're like dancing around inside this Yeah. So, now they're advertising in front of the pride people. And so, then the people are like, "Oh, they're [ __ ] doubling down." It's like they can't win. No. So, the the pride people are mad. How weird is it that when you say pride, people immediately think of gay? Pride means gay, yeah. How wild is that? Yeah. That they did that. Yeah. They own like that's it's it's Cain Velasquez has brown pride tattooed on his chest. Yeah. Now people are like, "What are you trying to say?" He's gay brown. What is that what you trying to say? You know, it used to be you were proud. Right. Now it's Now it's gay. It's definitely means queer. Yeah. Pride month. Queer month. I mean I mean imagine. You don't even have to say gay pride anymore. Yeah. You

93:31say pride month. How insidious. They snuck it in. They slowly took over pride like they took over the rainbow. It's Yeah. Rainbows are That is It's so funny to think that University of Hawaii used to have rainbows on their helmets. Can't have it anymore. Well, that also Too beautiful. I think the football team was like, "Can we get something?" Like it was not even related to gay. They were like "Shouldn't we be the tiger sharks?" Like give us and they finally changed it. they know? Well, I forget what the but they they put a like a more badass design on the helmets, but for years it was a rainbow, you know, because it was like Hawaii, you know, it was supposed to be and they were like, come on, man, we're supposed to be at the Yeah, that was on the side of a helmet. Now it's the at like on the bottom. It's like that H, you know.

94:12Ain't that crazy though, that the rainbow has become I mean, it it's a it's a gay. Rainbow's a gay thing. Rainbow's a gay, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's what it is now. Pride is it's a gay thing. The word is like if you say you have straight pride, people like, really? Yeah, of course. really? Do you really? Yeah, you should you should First of all, why? If you're 99% of the people Proud to be straight. What are you proud What are you proud of? Yeah. [ __ ] you proud of? Like they had a pride a straight pride parade. And I was like, if I was a gay guy trying to [ __ ] a guy in the closet, that's where I would go. Tell us tell us I'd go to that straight pride parade and see who's yelling the loudest. Let me see who I can get over here. Yeah. It is such a weird time, man. Such a weird time because unfortunately because

95:03of social media now anything that you do, you can you can form an identity around it and then it can be like your identity in terms of like your source of like how you view yourself in the world. You no longer view yourself in the world as just a a human being. That's just accepted for whatever you're interested in. Now you're in like a very specific category or group. And then there's other people in that group and you you think there's people that are opposed to you and there are people that are opposed to them. Yeah. So then then you're in conflict. Now you're a part of a gang, you know, that's going to go after those people that are against us. [ __ ] them. It's wild. Yeah. It's exhausting, too. Exhausting. Exhausting. Yeah. want to fight. They want to argue about [ __ ] Don't you just feel like that I mean like I don't know I I get such

95:53mental um fatigue from a lot of this stuff. I just feel like I'm an observer and I kind of put it to the side and go I I just I can't you can't entertain and ingest every one of these things going on. Well, that's the if you're a conspiracy theorist Yeah. This is this is the real conspiracy. The conspiracy is have as many social problems as possible To distract distract get distracted by that people concentrate on whether it's a pandemic whether it's masks vaccines pride trans movement drag show sponsor drag shows for kids if you want people to get mad and want people to get distracted Right right let them focus on that Get get people to think that it's a good idea to do that and and watch watch the outrage you know get people to think that the ocean's going to be boiling in five years you know Right Get get people to think that if we don't change it like

96:46that was one of the things that Greta Thunberg said five years ago that we'll all be dead Okay five years Well it's five years later and we're not all dead so you're definitely wrong and you're 16 so why they flying you out to Ukraine like what is going on so there's these so many of these [ __ ] social distractions that are in our face all day long about everything and I feel like sometimes that's what I feel like about Supreme Court rulings we're going to take away Roe v Wade and then everybody's like what the [ __ ] what Yeah What and that's another one and then that one becomes a thing that people identify as the most important problem that they have to solve and while while all this is going on money's getting moved around decisions are getting made and it's a brilliant cover for wild [ __ ]

97:32Yeah cuz all you have to do ever really is is follow the money on anything Yeah and you see what's actually happening and everything else is a distraction to that Bro I've been following this Hunter Biden [ __ ] you see the new he was smoking crack while he was driving 175 miles an hour to Vegas in a Porsche Yeah but to be fair it a Turbo S and those are thrilling to drive. Oh, yeah, I can imagine. It's probably easy to get 175 in that [ __ ] car. Easy. Those are amazing. That's a rocket ship. It really is. That is a rocket ship. Those are incredible. And the the way that thing handles, oh my goodness. You get behind the Turbo S and tell me you don't want to hit 175. Yeah. Especially if there's like no one there. Not only that, if there's hookers at the end of it. And you're on crack. Yeah. And he's smoking crack while he's

98:16driving 175. Wow. Now he really has substantial issues. I mean, with cuz I'm saying I Or he's lived the dream. What's the dream? What's the dream? If you're a [ __ ] total degenerate, what's the dream? Smoking crack, getting hookers, driving fast as [ __ ] and making millions of dollars through illegal activity because your dad's rich. 175 But also this [ __ ] thing of like the he's always filmed doing this. He's is always himself. That's what I'm saying, self-imposed. So then he posted it? No, no, no, they I think they found it. But who knows what's real anymore? That's another problem. Like any video you see today could Going through the So he's going through the desert doing this. Uh-huh. Yeah, but a lot of people do do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, I know. People are It's a famous place for people driving fast.

I mean, what's the top end of that car? It's probably 200. Yeah. Probably like a little over that. 175 is so fast. Excuse me. Life in the fast lane. How reckless Hunter Biden photographed himself driving And he's photographing it while he's going 172. God. While behind the wheel of his Porsche en route to long day days-long Vegas Bender with prostitutes and pictured himself smoking crack while behind the wheel. Wow. Oh, so it was back in 2018, but he just he just released It was just a few years ago. He Damn. It was years ago. Look at him. Imagine partying with that dude. I almost had a chance to get that guy on the podcast. Really? Yeah, man. They reached out when

99:52his memoir was coming out, but then all the [ __ ] hit the fan about him. I I was like, "Nah, I'm not really interested." And then I started reading all the stuff he did. I was like, "Oh my god, he's insane." Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, look at that. Hot. But he's driving in a residential neighborhood smoking crack. Well, he's in a residential neighborhood. And that's no That's no Turbo So that's Is that What is that? Oh, that's a Turbo S. No, I meant like if the odometer was if that one is. I don't I think that's a different car. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's Look at it's an Well, it's an automatic, too. But it says manual, see? M. Hm. It might have a Yeah, he's in D and then maybe. Who [ __ ] knows Do they I don't know. Yeah, because they let you like ride it over. Paddle shifters. But I don't know if that's the same car. know if it is, either. Ooh. holes

100:43in different area codes. Why would you film it? Because he's having a party. That's true. When he's an old man, he wants to look back. Yeah, I didn't go to Bohemian Grove, but you know what I did? I smoked street crack with hookers in Vietnam. Now, there's a Tells the prostitute he had a laptop stolen. Oh, no. And then he's talking to her while he's recording it? Well, that dude was off the charts out of his mind. Yeah, crackle crack is I mean, he was out of his mind. I mean, he was basically like Ray Liotta looking for helicopters all day long. I talked to him one time about Dr. Drew, cuz you know, he's worked with so many like drug users, about the different drugs, right? And like how they can affect your affect your brain. And he said that there's certain drugs that most people most could like do try and and basically you could try it and you might be able

101:41to just be like I did that and and go on with your life, right? Right. And and not have an addiction. I'm of course he's not saying to do that. Right. He's saying it's He's saying it's possible. But he said the the one that has the highest probability to switch something in most people's brains with a chemical composition it's like a light switch hits where you'll never be the same is crack. He said crack people that are completely fine trying this and trying that. He said that's the that's the one where you can do it and just everything forever your brain has changed and will be in the basically in the pursuit of crack. The next sober October we should do do crack. We should smoke crack before October. Like right before and see who can not smoke crack through the whole month of October. That'd be a real challenge. I don't think it would Norman said he

102:37smoked crack once and said he hated it. But but that's but what Drew was saying is that like Oh but no no no wait a minute. Norman ate crack cuz he thought it was Molly. Remember? Remember? Yeah, someone gave him crack and he thought it was Molly. Real. And so he just ate it with girlfriend at the Louvre in Paris. At the Louvre in Paris? Was it the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre?

Yeah, two of my security guys are good. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, we play hard. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, I I don't I don't know. We we we battle. Yeah, we have good Yeah, I'm getting better. I'm probably better playing better now than I've ever played. Really? When did you start like start like getting into it into it? Well, I tore my ACL when I was like 22 and

106:24that's when I first started playing pool. Okay. Cuz I couldn't do martial arts anymore. It was [ __ ] up for a while. And then I got surgery. Yeah, I had to get surgery but I didn't get surgery for like It was a while, maybe more than 6 months. And then then there's a long rehab. The ACL reconstruction was a long rehab for me. But I But I wasn't doing martial arts at the time at all. So all I was doing was going to the gym. Like I went to like a regular, you know, fitness gym and I just lift some weights, do the stair machine, you know, I was rehabbing my knee all by myself. And then you know, cuz I kind of knew what to do. Just doing mostly body weight squats and slowly building up my ability and being smart about it. And then during the time I got obsessed with pool. I just [ __ ] obsessed. A buddy of mine worked at a pool hall. He had a

107:12part-time job at a pool hall. This guy was a my comic friend John. And so we used to play all the time. We both kind of sucked. You know, it was fun. Just talking [ __ ] laughing, playing. And we'd do gigs together and stuff. And then I started meeting really good players. Then I started playing all the time. And then I started Then I had a real problem. To the point where my manager goes, "I think you're spending more time thinking about pool than you are about comedy." You're like like, "Fuck, you're right." I knew he was right. I knew he was right cuz I was playing in tournaments like several times a week. Wow. Yeah. Oh, it was a problem. I was playing 8 hours a day. 8 hours a day. Wow. I didn't I never knew this about you. I Every day. Every day. If if pool was a legitimate profession at the time, like it back then it was very hard to make a living.

107:53And then there was this Camel Tour, and it wound up being a [ __ ] show, and a lot of people didn't get the money they were going to get into it. 100% if I could have been a professional pool player. I was obsessed. I loved it. You know why? Cuz the balls don't give a [ __ ] They don't give a [ __ ] who's watching. They don't give a [ __ ] how cool you are. They don't give a [ __ ] what you're dressed like. They don't give a [ __ ] if somebody likes you. If you make that shot, you make that shot. And to keep your nerves together and navigate around the table was a puzzle to me. I was fascinated by it. It's cuz it's just this this you're in tune with these balls colliding with these other balls and trying to find the proper angle and plotting out the table in advance to get

108:39the good angle on the next ball to get the good angle on the next ball. It was just obsessive. Did you Did you get into trick shots and all that, too? Nope. Couldn't give a [ __ ] Get out of here with that [ __ ] I didn't want to learn it. I don't care. It doesn't mean anything. cleaning the table. If you got a trick shot and you got to kill yourself if you don't make it, then I'll watch. Okay. There's no consequences. There's no consequences if you inspiring. miss a trick shot. I don't give a [ __ ] if you miss a trick shot. I don't give a [ __ ] if you make it. It's kind of cool to see someone has like a really powerful draw stroke. Yeah. And they can do these crazy trick shots. But you're talking about just It's nonsense. What you really want to see is people playing pool at the highest level when it's you have to keep

109:20your nerves players consider cuz I know there's multiple game like I've played, you know, amateur obviously like hanging out but some people play what eight ball and like what's what's the standard game called? Well, there's two main rotation games and there's one big gambling game. Okay. The big gambling game is game called one pocket and the reason why it's a big gambling game is because it's a very complicated game. It's boring to watch unless you're like a real efficient auto that can never put it on television. And what what one pocket is is say if this is the pool table. Yeah. I have this pocket here on the right hand side, you have this pocket here on the left hand side and I only can make balls in this one pocket. Oh. You can only make balls in that pocket. And so there's 15 balls. Yeah. There's 15 balls in a rack. So when someone makes, you know, someone

110:10makes eight, that means they've made more than half so they won the game. And then they make handicaps. Like say if you and I were playing and you don't play as good as me, I'd say okay, I have to make 10 balls, you only have to make five. We'll do it something like that or I have to make 13 balls, you only have to make two. Damn. Yeah, people make crazy matches like that in that way and they gamble for a lot of money. I've seen one pocket games for thousands and thousands of dollars, yeah, big money. Now that sound but that sounds like what like legit players play. But most people play Most people play nine ball Well, in leagues a lot of people play eight ball. Like a lot of bar table eight ball. Yeah. Which is a little complicated because bar table eight ball you have to have really good cue ball control because you're dealing with a lot of clusters.

110:52So you have to know how to move the ball around. It seems easier cuz the you don't have long shots cuz the table small and it is. It's easier for that but it's harder for position play because you have very small room for error. Yeah. And so you develop a real good sense of where the cue ball's going. Mhm. A lot of bar table players have a real solid cue ball. And then there is tournament play. And tournament play is generally used usually either eight ball or nine ball rather and 10 ball for the pros. So it's a rotation game. Nine ball I'm familiar with. Nine ball the balls are wild. Right. So nine ball you you break you make the nine ball on the break that's a game you won. You make a one nine combination you win. 10 ball Never even heard of are wild. So unless you play it wild. There's different ways people can play but generally speaking it's call shot.

111:41You have to call every shot you make. So Oh okay. The one if you're making a one five combination you call the five ball combination. You can't No [ __ ] Yeah. You can you can get lucky occasionally. And the way you get lucky is say if you call that corner pocket and you miss but it bounces off the rail hits the other rail comes back in that corner pocket still counts. It's a fluke. You got the luckiest of lucky. Yeah. But only because you actually called the pocket. You really shouldn't even count then. You should really say how you do it but that's how it works. Yeah. And then there's games where you play the 10 ball counts on the break and that's a win but most of the times they don't. Most of the times they spot it. You have more I realized this like I've realized this over time but even now like you have more obsessions than most

112:22people I know I think. Yeah I got a lot of them. Yeah but like a lot of people have none or maybe like one but like you are kind of obsessed with a number of things. Yeah I can I can get obsessed with anything. Anything good. I mean like you're kind of obsessed with stand-up. You've definitely been obsessed with jujitsu. You're kind of obsessed with archery at right? I just came from the archery shop. Yeah. That's a lot of I mean it's a lot of different disciplines that you're or you know things that you are trying to master. I'm mentally ill. Yeah. Fitness that's another one. Yeah. But I'm mentally ill in a very productive way. That's true. It's it's not a mental illness where it wrecks my life. It enhances my life. But it's just I know how to like focus on it. It's like it it's like like it's say it's like saying I have a 900 horsepower engine.

113:11That's why I keep crashing all the time. Yeah. Like no, you need to know how to handle 900 horsepower. If you know how to handle 900 horsepower and you're a race car driver, then you have a massive advantage because then you have all this horsepower. Yeah. You you could [ __ ] go. That's me. Yeah. It's just like I just have to find things to put that in. If I'm just like sitting around doing nothing, Not good. my brain just starts plotting chaos. Yeah. I just start thinking dark things. I just start plotting scenarios. It's not good. I don't I can't I don't trust my brain to be by itself, you know? It's like It's why for me it's easier to Like when I say, just [ __ ] work out. Just go do it. You'll feel better. I know it's easier for me to say that. Yeah. It's easier for me to say that cuz I'm crazy and cuz I I have to do it. I know

113:56I have to do it. I go out there and I do whatever I have to do and then I can manage all that other stuff. But if I don't, I can get locked into something. Like I was playing pool for 8 hours today. Or I used to get into video games like that. I'd play video games or jujitsu. The thing about jujitsu is you can't really do it all day long. Your body breaks down. Yeah. as much as I could, but your body starts to break down. What's a good session for like Couple hours. Couple hours? Couple hours. Yeah. You know, you do like an hour of drills and then you probably roll for an hour. Yeah. But yeah, more than that, your body's going Your body's so beat. An hour of trying to stop people from strangling you and breaking your arm and [ __ ] ripping your neck off your head. Yeah. It's [ __ ] exhausted. Real work. It's exhausting. You get so tired.

114:40That's why jujitsu people are so chill. Yeah. it all out. They don't have nothing. You meet them in real life, they're like, "Hi." Yeah. They have no like no bravado, chest puffiness. They're just [ __ ] chilled out. Yeah, I mean I mean like the the bit of of boxing stuff I've done too, it's completely exhausting too. Same thing. Yeah, same thing. You meet a boxer in real life, they're generally pretty [ __ ] chilled out. Especially one that's training all the time. Yeah. That's right. It's crazy. There's nothing for me quite like hitting a bag for for a workout that puts me in a great state of mind. Like a great mood. Doing rounds on a bag. Well, by the time I'm done, I feel so good. It gets everything out. Smiley. I'm all happy. Yeah. Yeah, it just it just it just drains all that monkey energy out of my body. It just drains all that caveman

115:30out. And when you hit like clean like clean combos, ba ba ba ba boom. Ba ba ba ba boom. At the end you're like, oh, I can't. Yeah. It's good. It's a good feeling. I like going ham. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. Were you doing the kicks, too? Yeah. Yeah. Finally I could do them again. My knee's back. Took forever. That's another thing that happened with this [ __ ] diet. It's like whatever weird joint pains I was having just went away. I used to have occasional joint pain in my right knee, too. Gone. Don't feel it at all. Not at all. Same workouts, same stuff. It's I think I was carrying around a bunch of inflammation. Just from eating I mean mostly clean. Mostly clean. You know, but I'll eat four cheeseburgers one night. Or mostly clean. I'll have a [ __ ] large bowl spaghetti. Mostly clean, but every now and then I'll go off the rails. To not

116:23going off the rails at all. Remember one day I just felt like [ __ ] And I just decided, what was the last time I felt really good physically? It was like this is the time that I did that carnivore diet. Yeah. So I'm like, let me do that again. The thing that's most astonishing to me is the mental benefits of it. When your brain is running on ketones, it's a different feeling. It's a feeling like you're on a nootropic. It's like you're on Alpha Brain. It's it's a feeling like you get like a little extra room for thinking. Yeah. A little extra room for forming sentences, for just even comprehension. Understanding. I have more mental energy. I think it's a more efficient form of energy than carbohydrates are. I did find that you know I would I'd have I'd have like joint pain and when I was at the house and I'd feel that way that was another benefit of

117:14like that feeling after cold plunging was was like alleviated like my knees would be like sore from from like hitting the bike for a while or squats and then you're like damn like it really does feel alleviated. Oh yeah your body loves that. Just get let's get that inflammation out of there. There's a lot of people that talk about it there not being scientific benefits and I I literally hear it in their voice that they're trying not to go in there. Yeah. Yeah. You all let's let's just say it doesn't do anything for you physically. What it does for you mentally is inarguable. It's inarguable. There's real science behind it. It ramps up your dopamine by 200% and lasts for hours. norepinephrine yeah. Uh-huh and it carries through the rest of your day. No that and that's why I was for me a big proponent of in the morning. Yeah. Start your day that way.

118:10[ __ ] yeah. It's it's a great way to warm up too. It wakes you up and then I warm up through I I make my body get warm through while it's freezing. Yeah I mean the that morning fog that we all feel I mean I I keep telling people I go there's no cup of coffee like that 30 [ __ ] 5 degree water. Nothing. There's nothing that will get you going like that. I mean you can experience a version of it if you've ever jumped into like a lake or something you know like in a cool lake. That feeling you're like whoa. Dude I was kind of burnt out the other day. I did you know a bunch of podcasts in a row and then I had real hard workout that day and I was just crashed and When home I was like man I got two shows tonight. Woof, I got to I got to get I'm going to I'm going to get in the tank. I'm going to get in the cold." And I just got in

118:59there for 3 minutes, I got out, I was like, "WOAH, THAT'S [ __ ] COLD." YEAH. I I WENT TO the the club, and they're like, "Why are you so [ __ ] energetic?" I was like, "Dude, I was tired today. I was I was crashing." And then I got in that cold plunge, now I feel [ __ ] fantastic. Game changer. Game changer. Yeah. Yeah, just get If you go only have an a bathtub, get a bathtub, fill it with cold water, throw some ice in there. Just do it. It doesn't have to be complicated. Yeah, you'll feel you really will feel amazing. And the fun thing is I've had people come over and you know, you can't help it, you're talking about it, they see it, and they're like, "What is that?" And I talk them in there, and then the there's people who go, "Fuck that." Like they they have just They're like, "I'm not doing that." Almost everybody.

119:40Yeah. And then I've had friends that go like, "All right, I don't want to try it." And they get excited about it, and they I've everyone who's actually gone through and done it has a huge like smile on their face afterwards. Yeah, they start laughing. laughing afterwards. Yeah, they love it. I paid my daughter and her friends a thousand dollars for every minute they can go in there for. What? See, you have 11-year-olds. Did they get it? Yes. It's pretty awesome. I tried to get a thousand bucks, and I peeled off 10 crisp hundreds. And then they were laughing and giggling, and the parents like, "What are you doing?" I'm like, "It's fun. It's fun. It's okay." They're like, "You sure?" Like, "Yeah, it's fun. Everybody had a good time." That's cool. I did it for fun. At 11, too, that's like that's like giving 11-year-old a hundred thousand dollars.

120:23Yes. That's why I wanted to do it. I was It's like, but it's also it's they were all laughing afterwards. Yeah, it was like everyone was laughing and Yeah, that's [ __ ] cool. It was fun that they did it, cuz it's a hard thing to do. Sure. But, it's just a minute. Yeah. You can do it. You can do it. I told Tony I'd give him a thousand dollars for every minute. Did he do it? He won't do it. go, "Tony, you can make 10 grand." He's like, "No body fat." He'll experience it differently than most people. Yeah, his his balls would crawl right up into his nostrils. He uh he's so thin, like lean. Yeah, he's very lean. Yeah. He's a little hummingbird. Yeah, he really is. He's go go go. Amazing. That show we did with him was incredible. Insane. The fact that that Kill Tony started out in the Belly Room at the Comedy Store to a half-filled crowd

121:12where they were just kind of finding their legs, and I remember doing it back then, to seeing it now where they did it in front of that sold-out Moody Theater. Yeah. Look at that. That photo was insane. When he's on stage like that, the roar from the crowd was [ __ ] incredible. It was incredible. We had We had him sitting on my lap. David Lucas and Ron White. It was amazing. It was it But it was also like it felt so good to see this show become Yeah. you know, this immensely popular thing. They're doing the [ __ ] HEB Arena for New Year's Eve. Right. And I like I'd done the show before at the clubs, you know, at like the Store and the Vulcan and when he when he's like I'm doing at ACL, I was like, "Really?" I kind of didn't really understand what what it would be. Dude, that show really was a flawlessly entertaining show.

122:10It was amazing. It was really It was so I I told him this. I go, "So well produced." Yeah. Like you guys put like there was It felt like this is a show that you guys put on in this space every week. Right. It was It was like flawlessly done. From the music, the visuals, the video. Yeah, the I mean, they they had graphics for everybody coming out, and it was like timed well. It was incredible. It was really good. It was incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Holtzman went up and crushed. It's so nice having him here. So ridiculous. It's so nice having him here. It's so nice that he's here now. Also watching people try to figure him out. Like, what the [ __ ] Like, people don't know what they're getting into. They don't know that he's such a These are jokes. Do you understand? I don't really believe these things. Yeah. He's such a nice guy, too. He's the best.

122:58Yeah. He's a sweetheart. Yeah. And, you know, finally he feels like he has a place where he he can go up and he has big crowds and he's appreciated. He's having a great time. It's really cool. Yeah, the club you've built is amazing, dude. It's a pretty wild, dude. It's pretty wild. It's wild. It's just weird. When even when I'm there, I'm like, is this real? Mhm. What [ __ ] real treat. What chapter of the simulation am I in? Yeah. It's [ __ ] It's a fun It's a fun thing to have here, man. Well, it's it's beautiful what's become of this uh community now. It's like a surreal, thriving comedy community. I also think that having two open mic nights a week is huge. Yeah. I love that Bottom of the Barrel show you guys do. That's a fun It's perfect with Brian hosting it, too. Yeah. Brian's the man. Such a great guy. I'm so happy he's out here.

123:51He's filming his uh special at the Mothership in August. He is? Mhm. He's one of my favorite comedians. He's fantastic. Yeah. I knew it the first time I saw him, too. There's weird things like that where you can see someone and you're like, hey, wait a minute. Yeah, he was a Tommy Bunz recommendation. Yeah. Yeah, you recommended him to me. Yeah. like, I'll check him out. And then the moment I saw him, I was like, oh, okay. This guy's good. Soon as I saw him. Yeah. There's also specials. I was thinking about that. Like, I remember watching specials and just knowing Mhm. First time I uh Netflix sent me an advance of Bert's first special for them and I I told him I was like, you're definitely going to go to theaters. He was like, really? I go, 100%. I could just tell watching First time I I was watching uh Nate Bargatze's first one on there. I paused it

124:42at like 15 minutes and I was like, "You're about to go do big rooms." He's like, "I hope so." I go, "No, you definitely." Nate Bargatze just sold out 19,000 seats. Yeah, at like the Bridgestone or whatever it's called, yeah. Now, I could I mean, I feel like you watch them. And the same thing I felt the same thing when I saw Shane's YouTube special. I remember I go, "Dude, I I was It was like after the 15-minute mark, I was like, "I'm really into I could tell the way I was watching it." I was like, "Oh, this is really good." Yeah. And I watched the whole thing. I was like, "I never sit through specials." I was just laughing the whole time. I was like, "These are all such good Like I was so engaged, so entertained, laughing." I was like, "This is This is legit a really good special." Yeah. You can just tell sometimes. Yeah, you could tell sometimes.

125:26It's nice. It's a good time for comedy. Mhm. A lot of good comedy going on. Shane's new shit's funnier than ever. It's way funnier than his YouTube special. And his YouTube special was amazing. His new [ __ ] is [ __ ] insane. That's great. It's insane. I think that shoots soon. I think it's He just shot it. Oh, he shot it? He just shot it in San Diego. Oh, great. Yeah, like last week. That'll be That'll be huge for him. Yeah. It's amazing what that YouTube one did for him, though. I know. It's a wild time com- Did you see that Roseanne's um podcast with Theo got pulled from YouTube for hate speech? It's It's so funny. I had I had something with them like a year or two ago. This is so insane. I'm going to send this to you, Jamie, um so we can uh go over what it is that got them banned because it's so crazy. I I can't even understand

126:13it. I don't even understand how this could possibly be real. So, here is the uh There's a thing on uh Twitter. He put it on Twitter now because that's really the only place you can put something like that if it gets pulled from YouTube, which is So, they pulled the whole episode, though? They pulled episode for this for this clip. So we're going to watch this clip. And this is it's really I I just don't understand how someone could think that this this kind of censorship is okay. Well, hopefully like they'll go through the if you go through the flagging process. I don't know. Let's let's let's go he's they can't post for a week. Make go full In 2012 one of my platform things was I will outlaw [ __ ] Yeah. Because you know, and I know that that horrified people cuz what will I do now? Right. They're addicted to it. They'd rather have that than food or a

127:08happy family. They're so addicted to their [ __ ] [ __ ] It's true, huh? But you know, comics I think we're the less free speech art form and as long as we're performing things ain't as bad as they could be. You know, I think that's true. As long as we're performing things aren't as bad as they could be. Yeah. And that's always been the case throughout time like with jesters or with Yeah. people that was trying to speak up and share. There's always been a ceiling on on speech, hasn't there in a way? Of course, nobody wants to hear the real truth. They're horrified of it. They'd rather go with [ __ ] It's easier. And I Like for the real truth that you know, and I'm glad that they did set up all these guidelines so that we only are allowed to speak the truth. And the truth is that Biden got 81 million votes by winning 36 counties.

128:00And that is just incredible. It really really is and um that of these 81 million supporters who gave him more more votes than any president has ever gotten before. He came with a mandate from these 81 million voters and you know, I'm just glad that they were very careful to make sure that nobody could um detract from that proven truth. You know what I mean? Like you what do you mean? Like that nobody Feels not getting it. Yeah. That they mandated that that was the truth and that nobody could say, "Well, what about?" No. Oh, it was made a mandate. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. So, the government made it a mandate? Yeah, cuz you know, YouTube did and so did uh all the social can't speak you can't even speak on that in those platforms. No, you can't say, you know, That it wasn't. You can't say that like, you know, the election was

128:58yeah, that's all a lie. The election was not rigged. 36 counties can give you 81 million votes. Right. That's a fact. So, it wasn't rigged? Of course not. Yeah. 36 counties have 81 million people in them. See? That's the truth and don't you dare say anything against it or you'll be off YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other ones because we have you know, there's such a thing as the truth and facts and we have to stick to it. And um you know, It's scary. And that is the truth and nobody died in the Holocaust either. That's the truth. Yeah. It should happen. It 6 million Jews should die right now cuz they cause all the problems in the world, but it never happened. But it never happened. Yeah. Mandated. Well, you're People are saying part of Are you saying I'm all Jewish? You're all Jewish. 100%. And a lot of Hollywood is Jewish, yeah. It's like it it's like

129:58a lot of Hollywood is a Jewish business really. Well, they started Hollywood. Yeah. Right. But so was it weird that rap, black people started rap. Yeah. So, I wouldn't go over there and try to get in rap and go, "All these black people, you know, go on Saturday Night Live like Dave Chappelle." I'm just saying a lot of black people are in control of rap. Right. Hello. What? Well, you went there. You tried to get in show business, of course it's Jewish. But, you know, and people should be glad that it's Jewish, too, because if Jews were not controlling Hollywood, all you'd have was [ __ ] fishing shows. Yeah. See what I'm saying? That's hilarious. Oh. So, that That's kind of a full ride, yeah. That got them pulled the episode pulled, and he can't post for a week, and it's a strike against his account. Mhm. And it's all based on the actual

130:49Holocaust line, for sure. That's what I think. Yeah. But, but she's she's Jewish. She is. She It's obvious she's Jewish. She's always been Jewish. obvious if you're listening that when she says Yeah. that the Holocaust and that like that many Jews should die And that she said it after she said this thing where she's clearly Yeah, she's clearly poking fun at Biden saying, "But by the way, I think you can make 81 million if you win those counties." I don't know the math. I don't know the math. Um on the Somebody Is that Was that real? Like, what is a How many counties did Biden win? Does it Does it matter? Look, if you don't think that people voted for Biden cuz they hated Trump, and that 81 million people hated Trump, you're not paying attention. Yes, it's It's like, I don't know if there was some shenanigans with the election. I

131:37guarantee you it wasn't 0%. Yeah. Like, if you said like, how much voter fraud was it? It's never zero. Well, it but it's never zero. That's the point. Right, ever. It's It's never zero. But, it's also in I mean, if you do all the research that you can, the valid studies and the reports, even from like hardcore pro-Republican counties that it's it's like fractional voter fraud. People like to Right. It's probably zealots that work inside the organization that figured out a way to like, "Oh, this county's got us Let's hide these ballots." not substantial. It was a lot very small amount of counties. I don't know about 36 being accurate. Okay, so with over 81 million votes, Biden received the most votes of any presidential candidate in history. It is also true that he won a record low number of counties, but counties vary by population size from those with a few

132:29hundred people to those to others with millions of residents. So, county wins don't correlate with popular vote. Right, but if you only win 30 If you have 81 million votes and 31 counties, how many 36 counties? Cuz that's what she was saying. And this it says that he won 477 counties and Trump won 2,000 counties Oh. So, he won 477. Yeah. That's what the article said. than 31. It's different than what else she was saying. Okay. So, why was she saying Why was she saying that? She probably got just that information online. Right. versus 2500. Oh, so he won 509. Yeah. Counties. That's a lot of counties. That makes sense. Look, I know people that voted for Biden that wish they didn't now. Yeah. But, I do know a lot of people who voted for Biden. I don't know whether or not It's Look, there there's some real problems with these voting machines. Oh, and the

133:21other thing that that article's saying right there that you're looking at is that that Trump won like 2,400 counties. Right. So, it's a substantially higher number of counties, but he's also winning a lot of those counties in like rural places. Yeah, like they were saying. Yeah. But, there was a thing that they just released about the Dominion voting system that it's susceptible to being hacked. What was that? See if you can find that. There's something something that just got released about the Dominion system. I tell you about when we got one By the way, YouTube struck us. Struck you guys for what? We had a guest on. This is like on a old podcast. This is like couple years ago. And the guest, I think it was Derek DelGaudio. I think that's how you say his name. I don't want to get it wrong, but he was telling me about growing up

134:08and um how he was getting taunted Mhm. at school. This is like a serious conversation. And he's like, "Yeah, you know, getting bullied at school. Kids are calling me a fag." Blah, blah, blah. Took the episode down. Hate speech. Wow. but he's telling the story about being bullied. Georgia won't update vulnerable Dominion software until after 2024 election. See how that was a It was something about the software being vulnerable. This is on CNN. Mhm. Georgia election officials have been aware of existing vulnerabilities in the state's voting software for more than two years, but continue to insist the system is safe and won't be updated until after 2024 according to a report that was unsealed this week as part of a controversial court case in Georgia. The report's findings focus on weaknesses in software for certain Dominion voting machines. Those weaknesses were

134:55previously verified by federal cybersecurity officials who urged election officials across the country to update their systems. A lawyer for Georgia's top election official, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, recently told a federal court that officials would forego installing Dominion security patches until after the 2024 presidential election. Why? The election officials Georgia election officials insist that it's highly unlikely that the vulnerabilities will be exploited in real attacks. Well, when you have [ __ ] write about it on CNN, doesn't that make it more likely? I mean, yeah, why are you sharing this? Upgrading the system would be a massive undertaking and our election officials are evaluating the scope of and time required for the project. Mike Hassinger, a spokesperson for the Georgia Secretary of State's office,

135:44told CNN when asked about the delay. So, they might do it. And also, we're spending this time evaluating. Right. It's extremely unlikely that any bad actor will be able to exploit our voting systems in the real world. The system is secure. Oh, well, if you say so. Gabriel Sterling, a top election official in the Georgia Secretary of State's office, said in a press release from earlier this month, adding that safeguards are already in place to mitigate these hypothetical scenarios from happening. Well, I'll sleep like a baby now. George is fine. Yeah, man. They're people, right? And the same kind of [ __ ] people that don't put their syrup in the a chilled container and don't have an extra big straw. Yeah, those [ __ ] people, they work for Jack in the Box. That's right. That's right. You get that [ __ ] ass

136:26we're going to you'll reference this article when something does happen and and is the system is exploited. And they'll go, "Well, we weren't aware." Well, that's the first that I've even heard of them even like sharing how vulnerable their system is. I've never heard that. The systems are vulnerable because they're electronic. Yeah. You know, and like I would imagine like all the systems electronic Yeah, if it's a computer system, people get in. But that was a big thing with the Republicans. This is a Republican, too, right? This is a Republican one. Yeah. But that was a big thing with the Republicans back when W was president because there was people that thought that John Kerry should have won. Remember that? That was the the dangling chads. Remember that [ __ ] Yeah, dangling chads was Was it Kerry and then George W? Wasn't it? Yeah. I think it

137:13was Kerry. Or was it him and Gore? Maybe it was Gore. There was a slightly different thing with the chads. There was something with the voting machines in Ohio. I've There's a giant book with tons of data about this that I've found sway since and after the fact, but it was too It was like too late. They were like, "Sorry, it's too late. Everything's already happened." Okay, look at this. In 2006, scroll back down. Scroll back down. In 2006, Ohio became the poster child for bad election administration when two lengthy reports examining Say that word. Cuyahoga. Cuyahoga County's election procedures uncovered multiple serious problems. The county lost 812 voter access cards that allowed a voter to cast a ballot on machines. It also lost 313 keys to the memory card compartments where the votes are stored on the machines. Oh, Jesus

137:59Christ. And pick up the memory cards that contain the votes. Wow. They hired taxi drivers They hired taxi drivers to drive to election precincts and pick up the memory cards that contain the votes. Taxi drivers. Cracked out taxi drivers. Cleveland Cuyahoga County's Cleveland. Oh. So, um so there was a there was a documentary that HBO had on called Hacking Democracy. And it was about the Diebold machines. Do you remember the Diebold machines? I remember that name. I don't remember when that was. Diebold is a company that made voting machines. I think they made ATMs, too. Cuz I remember seeing an ATM machine and thinking about that that documentary. But there was they showed in the documentary that the machines were exploitable by a third party and that there was a third party access. It's like a third party could alter the vote. And they altered the

138:53vote on the machine on the show. On the show. on the show how they did it. But we didn't have like widespread abuse of this in the last election. I mean, every from everything that I've read and seen that like there's not It's not been reported that this is even from like I'm saying from Republican counties. It's not something that I've heard where it's compelling enough for me to say that I know that that's what happened. US finds no evidence flaws in Dominion voting machines were ever exploited. Well, if they're really good at exploiting it, would you know that you got exploited? And if you were exploited, would you tell everybody they're exploited and Trump should have actually won when that guy's been screaming like a maniac for 4 years? Yeah, he sure has. They stole my election. They stole my election. Yeah. It was a rigged election. Rigged.

139:35even if it wasn't rigged. saying it. But even if it wasn't rigged, let's say it wasn't rigged. Let's say it was a fair and and that's who won and that's how it was going to be. Biden won. For sure, it was rigged by the media. For sure. Just the Hunter Biden laptop case and the Russia collusion case. Just those two things. Just those two narratives that they knew were not true that they pushed out in front of everybody and that we know you know had to do with trying to get rid of Trump. That was a big That's that that is One over reporting and one under reporting. Yeah. That is in many ways that's that's to manipulation. It's a manipulation of a public narrative. It's a manipulation of what the people think is real and not real. Everybody thought he was in collusion with Russia. It's what everybody thought. It's They They There was just

140:29All these mainstream except Fox News. Yeah. They were the only ones They were the only ones that weren't pushing it. Everybody else was pushing it. Yeah. It was sold hard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was And it was not true. And it's proven to be not true. And then there's the Hunter Biden laptop thing which they they knew was true and they said wasn't true. Yeah. And they told you that you they stopped people from sharing it on social media. They stopped people from sharing on Twitter. Zuckerberg sat in that very chair and said that the FBI contacted Facebook and told them that it was Russian disinformation. They were getting a bunch of Russian disinformation. And so they limited the spread of that. I don't know how they did it. I don't know exactly what they did to limit the distribution of that that article. involved in that. It's wild [ __ ] dude.

141:10wild. It's wild [ __ ] and no one cares. No one's up in arms. No one's freaking out cuz that is a way that you're going to rig an election without rigging an election. Yeah. Whether you Whether you like that guy or not, we have to follow the rules. We have to. And if we don't follow the rules cuz you don't like somebody and we break the law because we we we don't like somebody. We don't want them to win. No, I agree with you. is banana republic [ __ ] Yeah, that's not cool at all. That's scary. And the fact that they were willing to do that and that there's no oversight and no one can stop them from doing that. And then there's no punishment for them doing that. It also speaks to like how much he's despised by this despised I mean it's really wild. up. He [ __ ] up. Well, he was I mean you remember there was a time where

141:53Chuck Schumer was on one of those shows talking about stupid it is to attack the intelligence community. Mhm. I mean he was openly saying it. Like they have 18 ways to Sunday to get you. Yeah. Yeah, and guess what? That's they did, you know? it's not good because it's the same thing that I feel about like the censorship thing with social media. If someone is spreading some sort of fake information on purpose to hurt other people, that's one thing. But if someone is just saying something that you don't like them to say or something that's disputed or something that seems to not be agreed upon by certain people, but then they're also experts in the field that do agree. You've got to let people talk that through cuz if you don't and you silence debate and turns out you were wrong like the Hunter Biden laptop story or like Russia. If you were wrong and you were

142:51ruining people's social media channels, ruining people's YouTube channels, ruining public discourse, changing the way people think about something. Well, you have a responsibility not do that again. Sure. Now you know you did that and this is why that is dangerous. Censorship is always dangerous. And then when they censor and they it's like undeniable you usually just get like a lower third. Yeah. There's sorry, whoops. Whatever, we didn't mean to do that. We [ __ ] up. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's it's gross. It's gross and they don't understand that it's undermines something that is already a problem and that's public belief in mainstream media. Public the general public has lost a tremendous amount of faith in the news and what they're saying and what's true and experts and and all all sorts of things. Yeah. And then it was all exaggerated

143:40greatly by the pandemic. That blew people that were just hardcore lefties are now like moving to Texas. Yeah. People that were like, I'm getting out of here. I'm this is [ __ ] crazy. I see where this goes now. shift has happened. And people that are like closet Republicans now, they come up to me cuz they think I'm one. They tell me I'm voting red. Yeah. I'm like, well, I don't want I just that's not what you have to do. You just got to get good people Yeah. that that really actually do care and aren't bought and paid for and actually have a [ __ ] a plan to unite people and not strengthen this one side to fight against the other side, but bring everybody together and make everybody realize our differences are so small in comparison to the things we have in common, the things we want, and the things that will help everyone's

144:28life. Yeah. And then we have to think that way. We have to think as a collective group. We have to think as a community. But a lot of people just don't want to think that somebody can have differing points of view about a range of topics. Yep. So they go like, oh, if you are pro-gun, that means you must be pro all these other things, right? And you're like, not everybody really falls into that. No. People have all different types of points of views about it can be about any number of things. Like I can be like fiscally, you know, like how the government should spend money. It could be about your civil rights. It can be Yeah, it could be guns and abortion, but those are that's not what defines people. No, it shouldn't, but it does because there's these predetermined patterns of thinking and ideas that people adopt when they join an ideology.

145:15Whether they join a progressive ideology or a conservative ideology. Yeah. In order to be in the group, you have to espouse a certain amount of things. And I see people say it when they might not even believe it. Oh, that's the big one. Yeah. That's the one that actually is kind of the most disheartening. Yeah. Is when you talk to somebody, you can see it in person and they and they're just saying the right thing. Yep. Like this is this is in this is what my group says to say and you and you can just look them in the eyes and you don't even believe what you're saying right now. Yeah. The The one with me is Republicans and gay rights. The The The people that are anti-gay rights that are Republican, they think that all gay people are groomers and all like that. No, some people are just people who love people of the same sex. Yeah. That That has always existed.

145:58come. That's the only thing about them. Well, and they're in love. No, but I'm saying like when you go like what's at the foundation of this? It's that what arouses somebody is just different than what arouses you. That's it. Yeah. And they've existed throughout history. Yeah. The idea that there's something wrong with that just cuz you don't like it. Yeah. That to me is nuts from the people that are supposed to be about personal choice and freedom. Yeah. That's what drives me nuts. don't think that like somebody else deserves to Yeah. be in love with who they love? Well, just imagine if being hard inside of them? Yeah, imagine if it was the gay thing that you had to do and heterosexuality was rare. Yeah. And heterosexuals are like, "Look at these [ __ ] losers breeding. What are you going to have a baby, you [ __ ]

146:43idiots?" Like, "Oh my god." Like, you know, that would be horrible. That's exactly what it's like if you're gay. That's the difference. Now, it's crazy that we're even having that conversation, though. like they have to have that Some Some people, especially if they want to attract the The religious people, the very like devout Christians. Yeah. There's a lot of people that feel like that's the stance you have to take. Is the dumbest stance ever. It really is. It just doesn't make any sense. It They should be Everybody in every community should be judged on an individual basis. You shouldn't say, "Oh, the The straight people do this. The gays do that." Like, that's stupid. That's stupid. And to say you don't want them to have the same rights that you have, that's bananas. Yeah, that that even exists it's it's crazy. And it's still being discussed.

147:29The people are talking about rescinding gay marriage. Now that they got rid of Roe v. Wade, they're talking about getting rid of like, "What are you out of your [ __ ] mind?" does that get you? I think it's one of those things like we were talking about before. Like if you were a conspiracy theorist, you want to people to be upset about things, it's one more social hot button. It's a giant distraction. you're not paying attention to things that matter. It's a giant distraction. And anybody that wants to argue that, they should be forced to argue it with someone who makes this rational sort of argument against it. It's it's stupid. It's stupid from a perspective of someone who values freedom. Yeah. The if you We know gay people. We know a lot of gay people. They love it. They love [ __ ] They love it. They can't wait to get a

148:08fat [ __ ] in their mouth. Well, how could you not? They're delicious. I heard. Yeah. I heard they're delicious. I've heard, too. But to say that that's a choice, like you're out of your [ __ ] mind. Yeah. It's just it's not. I mean, it maybe with some people, and that's fine, too. Do whatever the [ __ ] you want. If you want to just try it out, try it out. Try it out. That guy. What's that guy? RPC. He's really mad at me. He's really He's mad at you? So mad at me. Why? I thought he came on your show. He's your friend. He's flipped. When did he flip? In the last couple months. What happened? Did you do something different? No, he's just like First he first He calls me and every post he calls me Tom Ham Sandwich Segura. So that's what he writes in every Why ham sandwich? That's funny. But every post he's like,

148:53"Okay, Tom Ham Sand He goes uh you didn't write that book." I wrote a book. He's like, "You didn't write that book. It's all fake story Like just like Oh, so he's schizophrenic? Yeah. And then he's he's just like, "I don't you know Well, the kind of guy who invites guys to come over to his house and beat them up and [ __ ] them. Piss on them, beat them, What does he invite them to do? Piss on them, beat them, [ __ ] them. Try it out. Try it out. Just give it a try. And he tells them like they could stay in his house. Yeah, you get a free lease and a key. There's food. You can bring friends. So did anybody take him up on that? I don't think so. Really? Yeah. And he gives And he gives out his full address and phone number in posts. Like full deep like here is my full address. Wow. Here's my phone number. Just come

149:33over and He's trying to get raped. Yeah. Oh, he literally asks for it. Oh, that's Did you ever hear about the drug called Requip? Mhm. Requip Requip is a drug that was a Parkinson's medication and this guy was this guy won a court case against I believe it was GlaxoSmithKline because he took this stuff. He was a normal heterosexual guy. He took this stuff and became a gay sex and gambling addict. He was having all these crazy It's a I think it's called a dopamine agonist. I think that's what the It changed like his brain chemistry. It did something to him where he could not stop gambling and sucking [ __ ] and he was picking up guys off of Craigslist and he was having like impromptu meetings and got raped by two different guys. Sounds like a great excuse to try something else out. That's what I'm saying. But apparently um this is not unheard

150:25of. So much so that he actually won in court. So let me find Yeah, see if we can find the court case. I have the court case. I was trying to find the wording of Yeah, so this guy just couldn't stop gambling. He was off the [ __ ] rails with gambling and just wanted to [ __ ] guys and meet guys in in like chance crazy dangerous encounters. He was into danger. And it was all because his brain chemistry changed from this drug. Something happened when he got on the Parkinson's drug. a Parkinson's patient? Yes, he was a Parkinson's patient. Holy [ __ ] Yeah. So he's got a little shaky hand. Next thing he knows sucking [ __ ] and playing bingo. He just [ __ ] fell all in. Jesus Christ. All in, man. So like a Loving husband who claimed Parkinson's drug turned him into a gay sex addict wins $160,000 compensation in

151:10French court. But he's French. Yeah. You never know. Said turned him into a gambler and sex addict who sold his children's toys for cash. His wife who stood by him without throughout rather was with him as he wept with relief in court after the ruling. Imagine if a [ __ ] drug does that to a Parkinson's sufferer has won a six-figure payout against a drug giant after his medication turned him into a gay sex and gambling addict. By the way, not a lot of money. 160 grand? No. To get [ __ ] by a bunch of dudes, yeah. Yeah. How many did you get? Within 2 years of taking the drug Requip, he was so addicted to both his vices, he sold his children's toys to raise money and advertised himself on the internet for sex. He's now been given $160,000 in damages after a court in How do you say that? Rennes? Rennes? Rennes. France? Rennes.

151:58Rennes, France upheld his claims. Wild. That is say? Is that him? I think that's him right there, yeah. That's the guy? Look at Oh my god. The What a look of regret. Yeah. Look at that guy's face. He's like Jesus Christ. Come taste bad. What the [ __ ] did you make me do? Oh, poor guy. Jesus. Oh, man. Woo. Okay, what does it say about the drug itself? Now they increased the damages to almost 200 Okay, hold on a second. The court increased the level of damage to 197,000 468 dollars and 83 83 euros after finding out there was serious, precise, and corroborated evidence to blame his transformation on Requip. Wow. Yeah. It's been a 7-year battle with our limited means and recognition of the fact that GSK lied to us and shattered our lives. What does it say about the drug? Scroll down. Does it say anything about the drug or how the drug does that?

152:54I would want to know how it does that. What is that stuff? That's what it looks like, he said. god. It says in total he gambled away a total of 82,000 euros. So, he still only made 80 grand. Uh mostly placing internet bets on horse races and engaged in frantic search for gay sex. Frantic. He began exhibiting himself on the internet websites and arranging encounters, one of which resulted in him being raped. I thought he was raped twice. Jesus. Once. Uh he said his family had not understood what was going on at first, but his behavior turned to normal when he stumbled upon a website that made the link between Requip and addictions in 2005 and he stopped taking the drug. He said, "My life was hell. It still is because you cannot forget a catastrophe like that." Look at his face. That's how You can't fake that. No. It also feels like if you're gay

153:40curious, you can blame it on Requip if you can get your hands on some. It said the court had heard warnings that Requip side effects had been made public in 2006. Mr. Jambert said that GSK should have informed patients earlier. He can conceded that Requip was a good medicine and offered undeniable solutions to people with Parkinson's disease. Mhm. Okay, during the trial, GlaxoSmithKline said it had serious doubts that Mr. Jambert had developed his addictions after taking the drug. Mhm. I would have serious doubts too if I fought something in court for 7 years. But I mean for the court to agree? Is this another one? This Well, so that article is from 2012, I guess when it happened. This is like a more update from 2015. is Pfizer. This is Pfizer settles lawsuits Do they own GlaxoSmithKline now? know. This could be a similar drug or

154:29something different. I That's why I was kind of I didn't click this one first. I just put it up there. It says Pfizer settles lawsuits tying sex and gambling addictions to dopamine meds. Class action litigation brought by patients who claim drug maker did not adequately warn them of the side effects of drugs they were taking to treat their Parkinson's disease or restless leg syndrome. While this kind of litigation is routine, the side effects were not. Said patients were told were said the drugs created addictions they didn't previously have. Patients said rather, "The drugs created addictions they didn't previously have causing them to gamble with their life savings or become obsessed with shopping or sex." Holy [ __ ] So this definitely triggering something. Yeah. The confidential settlement with 172 patients said to be for millions of

155:12dollars was approved by a judge in federal court in Australia, the Financial Review reports. Although payments were delayed until they assessed by they were assessed by an independent review. Pfizer had agreed the settlement late last year ahead of the trial cases brought by people who took Pfizer's um Cabaser and Dostinex between 1996 and 2010 to treat tremors associated with Parkinson's disease or RLS. That makes sense if you got a neuro Yeah, dopamine agonist. The drugs work by providing dopamine agonist that imitate the effects of dopamine in the brain, something Parkinson's patients lack. Wow. published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine found that the psychiatric side effects of uncontrollable urges were not as rare as first believed. It found they occurred in at least 10% of patients, but said they probably were underreported because patients were

156:08ashamed to talk about what they had done. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. That makes sense. So terrifying. Mhm. Okay, yeah. labels on dopamine agonist class that includes Requip Requip from GlaxoSmithKline, UCB's Neur- Neur- Neupro Neupro and Mirapex from Boehringer Ingelheim. Boehringer Ingelheim. Boehringer Ingelheim. The drug The German company was sued by a New York man some years back who said that taking the drug had turned him into a pathological gambler who ruined him as he gambled away $3 million. [ __ ] Wow. Wow. I never hear about I'd never heard about that. That's so That's like Gambling addicts are wild to be around, man. You You saw Uncut Gems, right? Yeah. Adam Sandler movie? Yeah, he was great in that. Great. Great movie though. But what a great movie to like show what those people are like. If you've ever been around one of those people

157:08I've talked to a couple and they um Yeah, they just talk about the the impossible to quit driving. It's just I know one that's like it's it is substantial. Sports? Uh I know a sports guy and I know a um a blackjack guy. Ooh, yeah. How bad? Unbelievable. Does he have money? Not anymore. Oh boy. Millions. Dana White's a degenerate gambler. Yeah. He gets kicked out of casinos for winning too much. I I I I saw a video about it. Like how some of the casinos were like, "Uh-uh." The one thing I've learned is I liked Isn't that funny that they can do that? Yeah, you're too good at this. That's you know the other thing is [ __ ] hilarious about like I we did some blackjack on tour and we in in different casinos all over the place. It's like you put your money down and it's like, "Whoop." Give you your chips, right? And a couple times I I came out

158:04ahead like had good good it's blackjack really I mean there are there's by the book but you you realize you get good shoes, you know? Like a shoe is like what they pull the cards from. You just get like you you really do get good shoes and bad shoes. Like you're just every time you're just you're winning. And then there's shoes where you're like every hand you lose, right? And it's not And you're playing by the book or maybe you're taking risk. It's like that dealer keeps hitting 20. You know, or 21 based on pulling out the cards. And then there's times where it happens to you. But these days where you come out ahead you know, you win five grand. So you're like, "Oh, this is great." Then you go to cash out and they're like I've had the casinos go, "Where did you win this?" I'm like, "What are you [ __ ] talking about? Where did I win this?

158:44Here." And they're like, "Which Where What game were you playing?" And I'm like, "Blackjack." "Where?" I'm like, "Fucking right over there. Hold on." Calling people, you know, verifying. Why did he win? Yeah. And then they go, "All right, hold on. All right, you need to fill out Now you need to fill out this information." You got to give them all your information. Give us your ID. I mean you're sitting there 20 minutes later like, "Am I going to get this money?" And they're like, "Yeah, hold on. We got Yeah, and then another guy comes in the back and talks to them. They talk in private. Okay. It's like a It's like a 20-30 minute thing to get paid. Then they give you your cash. And then the funny thing is we noticed this a couple times on when I would win. We're all walking as a group back to the hotel and like a pit boss cuts us off

159:28and they're like, how you doing? And you're like, good. And they're like, do you want to come over here? And they're Yeah, they're trying to get you to come right back right away. you won and they don't want you to. Wow. like, well, we have this we need private table over here if you guys want to keep playing. are we talking about? I mean, less than 10,000 winning. Wow. But like thousands, right? So you But it's so it's not No, it's not incre- It's not affecting their bottom line. But it's just like this whole thing of you go, well, it's first of all, it's just really hard to get paid. I thought this would be like a simple here's the chips, your chips. This is not Vegas. No, this wasn't Vegas. Yeah, I think that's the thing. I think it's the Vegas-y casinos out there. And then they're going like, why don't you just keep playing? And you're like, okay.

160:09I think I'm good for the day. And they're like, okay, well, you know, just come back whenever you're ready. If you want to come back really soon, that'd be great. Wow. Yeah. They're trying to get you to stay. They want They don't want that. They don't want that loss. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, no, Vegas definitely does not. Also, if you're a gambling junkie and someone comes up to you and you're like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to get out of here with this money. Like one the pull's strong, but I can go and then someone comes along and goes, why don't you play right here? And you're like, yeah, why don't I play right here? it all in one [ __ ] hand. That [ __ ] feeling, too. It is funny how a couple times I went to the high limit room and I I'm still, you know, this is not crazy numbers, but I would put like a few hundred down and you win, you're

160:49like, whoa. You get that hit. Yeah. And then you double it. Ooh. You know, so then you kind of go You're holding onto the guy next to you like, ah. And you win again. You start You see how if you're wired for that, Yeah, that could be Especially the craps table. I don't understand craps, but you're the life of the party if you're winning people money. They're having the They're having the best time. Yeah. It's [ __ ] Ibiza over there. Yeah, they're dice. Roll the dice. Let's go. Screaming, cheering, yeah. You got to know how to play that game, too. where You know where Oh, yeah. That game is [ __ ] complicated. ball and the high yo and the You're like, "What What's happening?" What is How did you learn this? Like, this is a complicated game to get in on. Si- All these little side bets within the bet. You know there's the come line and then the

161:33Which is hilarious. Yeah, I know. It's literally called the come line. line. And then they go, "That's all you need to know." But then you play with someone who knows them and they're doing 10 other side bets. How is it still called the come line? First guy ever just What does it mean? What does it mean? Lou is loaded there. What does it mean? Why is it the Find out. Why is it the come line? I I think I've read this before and it do- I don't It doesn't make any sense. I don't know. I don't know what that means. It's probably like the Flintstones. Like gay old time. I Old-timey. I know a guy Different way of talking. The come. The come is a bet made by a player after the point is established by placing a wager in the come. The wager will travel to the box number which is rolled next. To win a come bet, the number the that the wager traveled to must roll a second

162:19time before a seven. I think you're betting on point hitting again essentially, but I I might have over complicated it. or not. I'm too dumb for that game. I'm too dumb and disinterested. a guy who won 60 grand doing that. Woo. On a just a [ __ ] Saturday night. know what he's doing? Yeah. How do you learn? Imagine how much ADD would kick in if you were at a craps lesson. I would not remember any of it. I'd be like, I think it's probably just repeti- like over and over seeing it. You start to go, "Okay." And then you get like the confidence to do that come bet. Mm. But then those side bets is like really where the problem with it, too, is like it You're betting against the table a lot, too, cuz I think it hits if it's 7 or 11 and that's craps. So, people don't even want to think about that a lot of times, but some sometimes you'll find a rebel

163:05who comes up to the table and just throws a bunch of money on that combat and you're like, "Hey, what is this [ __ ] guy doing?" Yeah, yeah. And then it hits and you're like, "Well, he's not wrong, but [ __ ] it's going against everybody else on the table." a silly amount of money though. You can play a combat only after a point is made on a come out roll. It's more complicated, but you don't have to place a pass line bet. Okay. You win if the next roll is a 7 or 11 or if the come point is repeated before a 7. You lose if the next roll is a 2, 3, 12, or if a 7 is rolled before the come point is repeated. Right? Wow. I watched it explained on a YouTube video. Like it was a YouTube for like a [ __ ] Like here's how to play this game. Do Did they Did they explain it in a way that I would understand it? Uh well, at

163:52the end I was like, "I'm definitely not playing craps." I was like, "This is way too [ __ ] much." I won money and played for 4 and 1/2 hours one night. Yeah? I have no idea how I was winning money. Did you win a good amount back? For at the time for me it was a ton. I was like I was like, "I can go buy an Xbox now." Like I was so happy. I just copied some guy that had way more money than everybody else on the table. I was like, "I'm doing whatever he does and hopefully I'll figure it out." Wow. I never figured it out and I've lost a ton of money back thinking it's really fun times. Is that the best game to play if you know what you're doing or is blackjack? Oh, definitely craps. Really? Craps is higher end. Well, craps can the multiples I think are are are much crazier. Much crazier. You see the payouts in craps and they're they're

164:33[ __ ] bananas. Blackjack is just the best odds you have. Yeah, blackjack is really you know, there's strategy like I said, there's playing by the book, but you know, there is just a real luck situa- like it's not that much strategy involved to like flipping over and you have 20 and the dealer's like, "I got 18." I mean, it's just It's not knowing what's next, which is so exciting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This this thing this card this might be it this might be it. Hit me. And I found that like if I do $20 bet, there's just no rush. Right. You know, I just go like, "Cool." Right. And you get to 100 and you're like, "Yeah, cool." Get to 500. Then you start to go like, This is real money. I'll lose 10 of these ones. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's that starts to get you. But then when you win that, you're Yeah. It's so stupid. It's so stupid.

165:25It's so stupid. I remember when I used to do gigs in Connecticut, I went to this casino in Connecticut. It's like one of them [ __ ] you know, one of those weird casinos. It's very nice for where it is. And you're wandering around there. I'm like, "What paid for this? What paid for this?" Yeah. People like me don't know what the [ __ ] they're doing. Banging on slot machines. I don't even know if they have slot machines in Connecticut. There's some casinos like in California where you can only play certain games. Yeah, there's there's rules about that. There's a lot of rules. But they have poker casinos. Some of those things you go like, "This is so much money they're making."

I know about a couple games where people play real money. Yeah, Cullen knows some people who do that. LA has a a number of them. Yeah. Underground games. And he said with ballers. The crazy thing is like these guys will just gamble you into a corner. Where you're talking about so much money you have to fold. Yeah. Like so much money. Yeah. Like they'll just keep upping it and like he said there's games where people are gambling millions of dollars. That's [ __ ] Wow, and they're real players. Yeah. Scary. Yeah.

166:51poker players. in a tournament here. I think there was like a hundred grand in the pot or something like that. When I was a pool when I was a pool player, there was always like people pool players who like playing cards and pool players who hated card players because card games took away from action cuz when gambling addicts didn't want to play pool cuz they wanted to play cards. They wanted to play gin rummy. Oh. You know, they would That takes away They'd gamble on that. Yeah. And god damn it. Yeah. You'd be mad watch a game break out. told me right now there's a blackjack game we could go play I'd go play right now. Really? Yeah, I'd be fun. Yeah, it'd be fun. Yeah.

I stood around one time at the uh at the Wynn and I just watched the guy who was uh alone at the table, his lady was right next to him and he was just doing $10,000 a hand. And I was like, god.
