We were talking about it before, right before the show, and I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your special, because you were in this position where HBO had decided not to air it because you had opinions, and they said, well, we don't agree with your opinion, so you can have opinions that are different than ours. You didn't even say anything. I didn't think it was your feelings on things, which I feel like you're allowed to have. And boom, you put it on YouTube and boom, how many views does it have now?
0:51Um, first one, eight point eight million, million, eight point eight million. You know what the odds of you getting eight point eight million on HBO are zero, it's zero, it's zero. I don't have anything to get. Unless you're on the fucking game of thrones premiere, I was ready to do math and my head and everything. I was thinking like zero, don't even think about it. Zero. It's never. I mean, maybe you got to go back to like Sam Kenneson, maybe his got eight million, maybe. Wow. Yeah. I mean, not that many people watch those shows, but YouTube is beautiful. I mean, they fuck you on a lot of different things, they'll pull you for discussing legitimate medical studies.
1:35Like this guy got pulled. Did you see that thing? I tweeted it. We talked, he got pulled off of YouTube, they killed his whole channel for reading Lancet studies on psychiatric drugs, bro, it's crazy, it's crazy, they did a study on it. Well, it was on children and psych medications, it was on children and I believe it was SSRIs, you know, which was antidepressants, they've been prescribing for children, they've been doing it for a long time, but they do not like when people discuss the negative side effects on YouTube. I would assume advertising pressure, that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
2:19You can discuss getting the belt or getting whipped, but you can't discuss the negative side effects of a drug. Not a while. Yeah, you could openly discuss being abused as a child, being beaten.
2:42Yeah. So, this is what he said, our YouTube channel is terminated in less than 24 hours. No warnings, explanations, or strikes. After we posted a video highlighting published science, black box warnings, and known adverse reactions of antidepressants for youth, why do you think this was censored? And then it's weird as a YouTube responded underneath it, they responded, hey, you're what? You're to help. But, you know, a YouTube channel, URL, we'll see what we can find. Here's how to find it. Like, no, they killed his whole channel. He said, you terminated my, I don't know, like, saying you, it's probably a person, right?
3:23It's probably not that person. It says, you terminated my YouTube channel for posting published scientific literature. It's for reasons like this, that YouTube is losing the public trust. Man, it's that, that dance of advertising, you know, that's the dance, the dance of advertising and government control, it's kind of spooky, it's kind of spooky shit. Well, I've been living in the neighborhood, it's been government control for a long time. Not really spooky to us, we like, oh, regular, regular, government nonsense. Not good. Yeah, like, we, this is the reason why we don't trust anything, like brown people, like people we just don't, ah, like, so do you say it, like, so do you trust it.
4:10It's for good reason. It's not like everything's going great and nobody trusts the government. Yeah. Like, but a lot of people are pro -government, like, government everything. Wow. I think they just sold a narrative, you know, I think they, it sold a narrative and they think anti -government is bad so that they're pro -government and I've had some maddening discussions with intelligent people that I respect, where they, they were saying that government should regulate the internet, like, what the fuck are you talking about? The same people that are engaging in insider trading, they should regulate the internet.
4:45Are you out of your fucking mind? You'll craze that is. It's like, who said that? Who said that? It's kind of used to be the publisher of Rolling Stone magazine, man. In the 60s and the 70s, when Rolling Stone was the counter -culture, he was telling me that they should regulate the internet. We had the most maddening conversation and I respect him so much and I love him so much for what he did in the past. I think that was connected to, you know, the internet kind of destroying magazine sales. It could be, but it's also, I think it's an ideology, man. I think it's an ideology. I think these people have in their head that good government with good people is good.
5:29And they're just, the problem is bad government and bad people. But we've never had, I mean, both of the fucking last time where you were 100 % satisfied with all the things the government was doing. They were doing everything they said they were going to do. Even if the president wants things done when they're running for office, those things never happen once they get in office. That's the very white question.
5:49It's not what you ask of me today. Like, we ever satisfied, like, never, never. Well, maybe Kennedy, you know, Kennedy gave people hope, seemed like he was giving people hope. But I mean, that was before my time, that was before your time. He was killed four years before I was born. Did, um, do you like Carter? Well, the thing about Carter is if you listen to Carter talk and this goes back to Rolling Stone magazine because Hunter as Thompson went to Jimmy Carter's campaign speech and he, it was so moving to him that he actually went out to his car and got his tape recorder and brought it back in and started listening and recording it.
6:30And I think, I don't think any president has the ability, I mean, there's a reason why the government is set up the way it's set up. It's set up so the president can never become a tyrant. So the president can't make his own laws so they can't make the, this is how the government is divide. But this is the concept behind the beginning of the country, the beginning of the country. I think even if you're a good person, you're in a bad job, you're in a bad job with a bad machine and that machine wants to make money and if it's making money by selling people drugs or it's making money by going to war, it's making money by fucking finagling the economy in some bizarre way.
7:07Anytime there's something to gain on the other end without public knowledge is going to be a problem. Of course, that's the game. The slide of hand. That's the game. That's the game. The rid of it to pretend they don't do that. I felt like some things shouldn't be on the internet though. So I was like, hey, there's nobody regulating this shit. Like a lot of things that people just, like I don't know what a lot of people are like have followers for, like they so far to the craziness is the same. You were like, what the hell? That's true. That's true. But what's the alternative? The alternative is, here's the best thing about those crazy people.
7:51You and I can talk about those crazy people. Look at these crazy bitches. And then people can listen to us talk about them and they go, yeah, these people are crazy. I kind of thought the world was flat for a few minutes. Yeah.
8:03It's the people on it and I was like, same man. Yeah. Damn, what are you talking about? Then there's other people that they have some sense, but so. You got to be able to figure it out yourself. The problem is most people don't think, well, and rightly so, don't think that most people can figure it out by themselves. Large percentage of our population, that's easily swayed. That's why cults work. Oh man. You know, and I always wonder, like, like when people say they selling dope, I would like like, for real, like, it's, like, it's past say, like what a cult is like I'd be thinking that it's been like, what when, why would I join a cult when it's never been proven to be a good thing?
8:46Like, it's like show me all the, the good successful cults, like, man,
8:55I got to see one bad cult and I'm like, you know, I don't, I don't want to go. Like, well, if you want to expand that, it's crazy. Religion. Religion is successful cults because they, someone's, listen, if there is, let's just imagine, just for the sake of this conversation, that there is a religious scripture that is 100 % translated directly from God. Well, if that's true, if there's one, that means all the other ones are wrong and all the other ones are cults. No, see, the thing is this, people don't know what things tie in together. This episode is brought to you by Oracle. AI is coming to your industry if it isn't already here, but AI needs lots of speed and computing power.

Now, you have some side stories, some people who didn't just create some side things for their own benefit, but it's like the Mormons. It's like a longevity of, hey, this is all the same line of things and it, you know, transcends to the next generation.
10:34But then it's these things that, what's the, the prophecy stopped at some point and then it's like, people can claim themselves to be prophets with none of the other attachment. Like, all the other prophets got the same thing, someone spoke to them in the night and they have, they have some power at that particular time. It's like, these people, can you say, hey, I'm a prophet. Well, who spoke to you? I don't know. There's a voice coming through the wall. Maybe you live in, you live in the form of it. I don't know what, like, and then they can just, what is your power? Like, who are your, who are the people that you spoke to have?
11:18And it's no power. It's all you had to do is be charismatic, but that's not, that's not the, in prophecy, that's not the, that's not the criteria. It's like, hey, I'm, I'm looking for somebody who can't, that's not what God's doing. It's all, that's not the job. Right, that's not the job, but in, with this society, it's the job. Like, hey, but don't you think it's always been like that? No, I think, I think they didn't even want to do it. Like, no, I didn't want to build on art. He was doing something else. See, the thing about Noah and the art though, if you go back to that, that story is very similar to a story that's in the epic of Gilgamesh.
12:03And most likely, what that story is about, the great flood seems to very much be real. Very much be real. And there's a lot of physical evidence, and there's a gentleman named Randall Carlson. There's been on my, have you ever seen any of those episodes? No. It's been on my podcast many times. He's an expert in asteroid collisions. And this, this time in history, where after the, this time, there's all these stories of floods. It aligns directly with this thing called the Younger Dryas, and the Younger Dryas impact theory. The Younger Dryas is a time period around 11 ,800 years ago, when they think the earth got hit by comments.
12:39And they think civilization got basically wiped out. And it makes sense, because it, first of all, makes sense physically, so sorry if people have heard this before, I beat this fucking horse to death. But there's a lot of evidence when they do core samples on the earth at that time period. There's a high level of aridium, which is very rare on earth, but very common in space. And there's also nanodimals, which, which occur when there's an impact, when something hits. And this is all over the world. I, one hundred percent believe in this. But every time I hear nanodimals, what do you think of your nanodimals?
13:14I feel like you sell a jury in the middle of the mouth. Hey, buddy, buddy. These aren't diamonds. These are nanodimals. These are nanodimals. They, they're different. But yes, I believe that the earth has been hit by comments. We, we, we in a space. How can you not? It's just evidence. It's evidence. There's tons of evidence. There's tons of evidence. There's a, they found, was it a Greenland or Iceland, that massive impact that they found? The earth's been hit so many times, man. It wasn't just the Yucatan one that killed the dinosaurs. It's been many, many, many, many, many, many, many times.
13:47It's been hit. And in fact, this comet shower that we go through every year, 31 kilometer, 19 mile wide meteorite, crater discovered under a kilometer of Greenland ice, had a, had long puzzled scientist. The Hawatha crater was exceptionally well preserved despite glacier ice being incredibly effective at erosion. That's interesting. Damn, that's big. 19 miles, is that what it said? Yeah, there's a ton of those, man, they're all over the world. There's a big one that's outside of Australia that they found. Giant craters where it just, it totally makes sense. It totally makes sense. So this guy, along with this guy named Graham Hancock, who's also been on the podcast many times, a good friend of mine.
14:31He has a documentary called Ancient Catastrophe. Is that it? It's not apocalypse, right? Ancient apocalypse. I always fuck those up. Ancient apocalypse that's on Netflix. It's amazing. And it's all talking about like these insane structures that people built in Africa, in Asia, all over the world in Turkey, they, is insane structures that are, that predate modern civilization. These are like 5 ,000 years before we think Mesopotamia emerged. The huge stone columns, huge structures that they know for sure were 11 ,000 years old. Yeah. The show's amazing. It's an amazing show. I think I watched it.
15:13It's really good. And it's, you know, he only goes, he only touches the surface because there's so many of these all over the world and Egypt is the best example. The best example. Egypt is a fantastic example because there's stuff that's under the sand that's even older than the massive stuff that's above the stand and the stuff under the sand that they find when they dig deeper. It's a totally different style of building. This is what the ex clan used to rap about. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And poor righteous teachers, that whole brand new being, this is the, you know, the pyramids and building of the stones and Egypt, the whole Egyptian culture, Timbuktu, the whole thing.
15:57So, yeah. Yeah. Been around for a long time. That's the wild shit. The wild shit is that if it wasn't for those stones, if everybody lived like we lived today in glass houses and shit, there'd be nothing left. There'd be nothing. What would you find a regular house made out of wooden glass? What the fuck is going to be there in 10 ,000 years? Zero. Zero. There'd be nothing left. You'd find nails. Oh, look. I found a nail. What would you find? You'd find a few things. But most of it would be consumed by the earth. Yeah. Most of it. But those guys, they figured out, they figured out something that no one, they bullshit that they could figure out how to do that today.
16:31They don't know how to do that today. Well, somebody just came up with the whole list of buildings with wood, but it was probably something like in Haiti, they built with stone, they still built with Jamaica, they still built with stone, with the whole house made out of cement. Most places do that. Well, they have hurricanes. They have hurricanes. They have hurricanes. Their houses have to be sturdy as fuck. So I don't know what was going on in Egypt at that time when it was built and like that. I think they were beyond advanced. I think we are, Graham Hancock has this amazing quote, he said that human beings are species with amnesia.
17:08Oh, yes. For sure. Oh, for sure. And I think the way we've gone today technologically with like phones and microphones and video cameras and chill, like we've gone into an electronic technology. I think they went into another technology that was different, a different path, but way more powerful. They were able to move stones out of the mountains and move them 500 miles. They don't have any fucking idea how they did it. The necessity, you know, figuring out things from necessity. That, but I think thousands of years of thinking. I think, you know, when we think about the industrial revolution and we think about the way the world was just 2000 years ago to now, I think those people were recovering.
17:51I think those people 2000 years ago were recovering from shit that happened thousands of years before that where people were just knocked back into barbarism, just survival of the fittest, just wild shit because there was nothing left. We live in a mad max apocalypse, even worse, nuclear winter. When those things hit into the ground, the massive floods come. It also kicks up dust in the atmosphere. Nothing grows. People are probably cannibalizing each other. It was probably horrific. You ever read the book The Ice Age and Inheritance? No. This is what it talks about people, how they went into the ice age and then they had to start cannibalizing each other because there was nothing growing in all of these other things.
18:35Wow. Do you think we survived it now? I think we might survive. We might survive. I know a lot of people are going to eat and some people keep fucking keeping it together and some people can't, you know, it's going to be hard and it's not going to be fun and life might not be worth living in comparison. In comparison. That's the thing. If you lived on the Great Plains in the 1800s and you were Native American, that was your whole life. That's all you knew. You knew how to hunt buffalo, you knew how to make teepees, you knew how to live off the land. That's all you knew. If you took some fucking person from the east side of Manhattan, some person that worked some cushy office job and he said, Jerome, this is your new life.
19:20You're going to live on the plains and you're going to make your own arrows and you're going to go fucking run around and try to shoot them into buffalo and there's no doctors. So is this what make it an afraid about I. Are they getting ready for the apocalypse? No, like they're just exploiting dummies. They're just having fun with people's decks, they're just having fun with people's dicks. What are they flirting with? With TV's face. That's just crazy. That's just crazy. It's so dumb. Make it an afraid exhale. They got like 13 people out there. They got a beat up in the form of tribe. They could do something like that.
19:57people would go, they would go evil real quick. If there was competing tribes, people would go evil real quick. I think it's going, if it just, no. Okay. Well, during, during Katrina, it was survival of the fittest doing this flooding, Houston, it was survival of the fittest. Yes. It's been sometimes where people have shown they colors. Yes. You know, it's small pockets. Yeah. Like my, um, my friend, he used to brag about having this mazerotti. And when the flood happened, his mazerotti was floating down the street. And I was in my truck. I'm like, Hey, you want me to come pick you and your mazerotti up?
20:42Cause you, you in the bad position, my boy, it, it, it takes us. You need a truck, you know, and it was survival. He, he couldn't move nowhere. So he needed help. Yeah. When the, the freeze came out here, I was having a time of my life. I loved it. With a snow everywhere and ice on the streets. Cause I have a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser that I had built like a apocalypse vehicle. It's lifted. It's got off -road tires. It's got steel bumpers. It's got a winch. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, you have a big ass gas tank. Huge gas tank. That was having a great time because that car is meant for that. It was like my golden retriever when he sees the snow.
21:24When he sees the snow, he's like, whoa, he rolls around in his back. It's like, he's having a party. It's the best thing he's ever seen. That's what it's like when my truck saw that snow. My truck was like, yeah. Everybody else is like in Corvette. They're sliding into oncoming traffic. That's what happens when you have one of the little low build cars or sports car. And you don't have an off -road vehicle. Something that can really, that's sturdy, that can move things. I have a truck in this. My truck is built for that. If you're only going to have one vehicle in Texas, a truck is where to go.
21:58Oh, yeah. Really? Just in case. Just in case. It's the sign of the most pampered society that people have cars that you can even fit luggage in. And they're just fast. You have a race car, sir. Why are you driving around town in a fucking race car? Where are you going? Hey, man. Nothing like getting out of a truck in a tuxedo.
22:27With boots on. That's what I think guys are like, man, it's crazy. Man, a truck is the way to go. People don't want to think about things going sideways. But they have all throughout history. All throughout history, there's been natural disasters. There's been wars. It's been crazy shit. All throughout history. So why don't people want to think about that? Because we like to think about what's in front of us right now. The human mind is set up to take, the human mind is set up essentially for survival, right? It's and we have the exact same brains as people that lived 10 ,000 years ago. So the people that lived 10 ,000 years ago, if they in fact were hunter and gatherers and they probably were hunter and gatherers because the people before them were far more advanced and they were like rebooting society.
23:09That's what I think. But those people, that life that they live was all about get some fucking food. Find out what the dangers are around you right now in terms of your enemies and predators and get some fucking food and feed your family and try to stay alive. That's all anybody wanted. They just wanted to stay alive. So we have that in our head and shit like climate change and UFOs. It's like, what am I going to do with that? Shit like, what if whatever the power goes off? Yeah, but the power's on now. Shut the fuck up. I got to deal with now. I got to deal with right now. We're designed for the now.
23:42I don't think like that. I think long term. Your guy has experienced some very difficult moments in your life. That's what it is. You've experienced a lot of adversity. I guess that's the reason but I'm thinking always thinking long term. I always got a, you know, like I'm Jason Bourne, like I won't know. Come on, fast, full of cash. Yeah, I'm not, I can't live for the now. I used to do, I used to be like that. And that was, that was too fast. Very way too fast. Well, that's a young man's game. Young man's game is the now. You know, talk to a 19 year old kid. Yeah, I'm talking about fucking climate change.
24:28Well, I wish somebody would have told me in 1988, listen climate change. Yeah, maybe my tomatoes would be able to survive. I think, you know, with having a healthy love for the elderly because I would, you know, prefer to be one one day, you know, I would like to set things up for those people that's doing it now for when I, when I get there, I, I don't want to wait and then get there to be struggling. Well, I'm 65 and I don't understand what's going on. Because comics, most comics don't have a retirement plan. Most comics don't even have a monthly plan. Yeah, comics. So why was fucking people I know?
25:10Why was people I know, they spent all their money.
Read the full transcript
25:16And that's very true. That is very true. You know, I can't even think of all the comics. Because I'm a, I'm a planner. How many comics have come to me? Because they know I'm a planner. And it's just without just some wild shit. Like, I'm just, hey, man, I'm, I'm living in L .A. now. Well, I just saw you Tuesday. Yeah, I know. It's like, well, you live in. I don't know. I'm just out. Tell you what he's talking about. And then a month later, Hey, man, I'm coming from somebody else's phone.
25:53You think you can tell me $300? Fuck, get a ticket to come on. Oh, how I'm gonna get it to you? Hey, man, you're going to have to wire it to this and that. Some comics think that if they go to a spot, things will be different. You know, my wife and I lived in Colorado once for a little while. And we lived in like a log house on the top of the mountain. And my wife had this idea that when she got in that log house, she'd start making bread. Joe, you wow, man. She's a lot. Yeah, I did. The only thing that fucked me over was she got pregnant. And when women are pregnant at very high altitude, this is at 8 ,000, I think 8 ,800 feet.
26:38It's very high. It's real rough on them, real bad. It's like the flu every day. And we went back to L .A. And when we went back to L .A. for like a week or two, she was fine. And then we went back to Colorado, tick right back in. I was like, oh, no. And then I read that Colorado specifically Denver has a very high rate of unusually high rate of premature births because they they attribute to the high altitude. It's rough. It's a rough on women. So we had to get out of there. It was for me. It was just me by myself. I'd still be up there. I would have never started a podcast. I'd still be up there living in the woods.
27:10I love it. I love it. I love it. I love that land cruiser. I just feel like sitting there chilling. That's the life that I'm going towards. Just being somewhere, being able to form and grow my own vegetables. Yes. Go outside and have my own teammates and goats and things of that nature. Yeah, that's very satisfying. There's something very satisfying. Just even about the idea that that's very satisfying. Not having to be somewhere. I think that's the I'm I'm going to slow down in 2025. I have a plan. Lock out on domino effect three and four. And then kind of relax for a while because I don't I don't think people know this about comics.
27:55You probably experienced it. I'm my body is on some type of clock where I have to be somewhere even when I don't which is troublesome to me. Like I've I've gotten up and packed all my things up and didn't realize that I was already where I'm supposed to be because I'm my body is like you know you my mind basically is you supposed to be somewhere. So it takes me if I go on vacation it has to be for like two weeks because the first week it's it's crazy. Like I'm my mind is set on this clock of you got to perform and you got to be somewhere you got to do you get it and I don't I don't like that feeling.
28:38I got out of that I got that took it took me a long time to get out of that but I got out of that work and enjoy vacation. I can just chill. I got out of that work and just sit in my back heart sometimes just sit down have a have a cocktail and just relax. That's what I want to do. Just be able to just sit and have nothing to do. Yeah yeah I think there's a just real pleasure in that if you earn that and you definitely have earned that there's real pleasure in that but people like you and people like me that are constantly on the road and constantly work on this and working on that it's like you're you're on this momentum it's and it's hard to hit the brakes going down the hill of Jesus fucking Christ like Flintstone brakes you know it's hard.
29:21Yeah it's slow down and you got to get to a place where you feel like I have a plan to get to a place well okay this is this is it for a while and then detox lead month because a month of not doing shows is it's horrible. It's hard it's it's horrible. You get addicted to it. It took it took me a while to get it took me about two months to get really get into the pandemic but once I got into it I didn't want to come out of it I was like man I'm cool man I can be my family every day I'm growing my vegetables looking good I'm having a good time I don't have to be anywhere. I just go to the front and take on my camera.
30:10Hey what's happening? Talk for a man then be done. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It's why'd you go back? The addiction of being a performance. Killing. Killing. To you know having a finished the story. Yeah. You know Domino effect you know was in my mind and Domino effect too was in my mind so I was like man I got to get back to work. I think they were tired of me. They was like hey he's been here too long maybe maybe I was feeling cool and they was like nah he needs to go work so he's doing everything he's painting and building I was building something every week. It was great. Well that's why Lewis drives me crazy and people say they get bored.
31:03Like how are you bored? I get bored. There's so much to do. So you just got to find the thing. And if it's not if you don't have anything to do just go experience something. Yeah. I check something out. Get moving. Don't stay home. Don't just stay put. That's why you're bored. There's nothing coming at you. Go somewhere. Stay put. I haven't heard that in the long time. My grandma's a station bag. She would say that because back then you couldn't go into couldn't take children to liquor stores. And my girls would get out the car. She'd leave us in the car. Hey, hey, stay put. Be right. What girl's told me to be right here when she get back.
31:42Are she going to beat Ias? It's like like what? Like I haven't done even coming to the conversation. But we was right there when she got back. Yeah. We still have put. Stay put. Yeah, staying around and being bored. I mean, that's of course that's what can happen. People wonder why they're depressed. I mean, there's a lot of reasons why people are depressed, but some people are depressed just because they're not doing anything. Oh, man, you're just fucking filled with anxiety. And you just know that you're just alone just trying to think of something to do. Board out of your fucking mind. Which is crazy.
32:16How you can't think of nothing to do when it's all outside? Like you can just you can walk out because I'm from that era where we used to play outside. Yeah. So if I go outside, I'm going to find something to do. If I find another person, we're going to find something to do. And we find another person. Oh, no, this is a football game. We always need these three people in a ball. And we throw in this ball up in the air's high ball. Yeah, something going to do something. Something's happening. Do you remember children's playgrounds? How fucking dangerous they were with those metal contraptions, those houses you were climbing inside of.
32:55You thought that was dangerous? I think they they made out of rope now. And it's really dangerous. It's some little corded rope. Tell your hand up. Like I prefer the ball. I grew up with the balls. You could swing from home. Yeah, that was my thing. The balls, even the spinning. Oh, man, I think I think I know people dislocated. They showed up on the spin thing. Something big grown key to come and spin all the kids. And you know, don't. And that key spinning. And then you just let go get your head. You can't hold it no more. Ah, those are the days of concussion. Good questions. Yeah. Well, you learned.
33:36You definitely learned what hurts. Definitely learned what hurt. Yeah. Like you never let the big kids spin your head ever again. Those little big kids are mean. It was crazy. You you six. Just get this. I mean, you know, you're 13, right? Like why are you over here? Especially boys. Teenage boys are the most fucking dangerous animals on the planet. Man, do you understand? I live in some apartments where these these guys, they were old. They was high teams. And when you went to go check the male, because the male box was by the pool. They would try to throw you in the pool.
34:17And you're going to take the male your mother to. Hey, don't bring my damn male back here with.
34:27And you would have to sneak to the male box and open the male box so quietly they get the male. And you hope that I see you because if anybody saw you, they're going to say, Hey, hit the male box. And now you got to run. Now you got to run. They're going to go throw you in the pool. I remember what I got thrown in. And I try to hold the male up.
34:54I hate it before this man. I hate them. Teenage kids. They're fucking dangerous. Because they have man strength. And they just got it. They just got it. It's like lottery winners. They're like lottery winners. They start spending all their money. You know, lottery winners, they go broke quick because they're like, they never had this before. And all of a sudden they have it. When you're 13 and all of a sudden, you kind of have a man body and you're 14 and you're strong as shit and little kids, you could just yell at them and tell them what to do and make them do shit and smile around. The problem is this.
35:32When you do that and then one of the kids that you hurt have uncles that's like close to your age. Like you 14, 15 and his uncle is 19. And he don't know about that. He's like, yo, hey man, you hurt my little cousin. And then. And he devin, he got a little more skill. He got a little more tactics. Yeah. Newfound male strength. Yeah. They know how to use it. The 19 year olds very different. You get 19 and 20 and, you know, those are men. I was, you know, I was different. I was, I was pretty good fighter at 19. It's really, but I saw a fight maybe around 10. You get, you get some good ones. I remember what I knew the difference between being 13 and being 19 when it's these, my cousin got into a fight with these guys.
36:37And this guy was thick. His, his, all this was like really, he was a man. And he pushed me in just in the stomach. He just pushed me. He wasn't even trying to fight me. He was, everybody get back. And he pushed me and knocked all the air. And I was like, man, what was happening? And I, and I slowly started going to the ground. Like if he would have actually punched me like if he was trying to, he'd wipe me out. Yeah. With body, because body shots are something different. That's a different shot. Oh, yeah. People, people think that a body shot don't look as pretty as a shot to the head, but it's just as devastating.
37:23If not worse. Oh, yeah. Like that Ryan Garcia one with Javante Davis caught him with that left hook to the body. People were saying that he quit. You never been hitting the liver. Oscar Delohoi quit the same way with the Bernard Hopkins, the same thing, same body shot, same body shot. And he tried to come, and he tried to take a step out that corner and didn't, not the front of his foot even moved. He just went down. He was like, man, this is it. And if you get kicked to the body. Oh, my God. A kick to the body is so goddamn devastating, especially a spinning back kick. You could literally pick someone up in the air.
38:02It's like they get hit by a car. Amy kick. Yeah. Did it. Want to see me when I was 19? Show me that video of me not going to do that when I was 19. This is from a Taikwondo tournament. I hit this kid with a spinning back kick to the body. So you can see how hard I'm 150 pounds on, 155 pounds. 155 pounds spinning around. Yeah. It's what I'm saying. Even though I was light, like fairly light in comparison, the amount of power that you can generate with your legs. And what your ribs are. Me and my daughter were doing this little art project and we're drawing zombie. This is zombie thing. We're making this painting together.
38:42And while we're doing this, we took a photo from the internet of an actual rib cage so we could do it right and draw it correctly. And I'm looking at it. I'm like, look at this fucking weird protection of all your squishy organs that are underneath there. I mean, then you really think about it. These little skinny -ass bones are the only thing that's protecting your soft lungs and your liver. Like this is me in the blue. This is me when I was 19.
39:21That dude was done. You get kicked in the body like that.
39:28There's no volume on this. But you get kicked in the body like that. It's the worst feeling in the world. Everything shuts down. You can't move. You can't move. Everything just goes down. This is an electrocute, electrocution goes through your body. Electric power, just the thump, just the compression of your organs, just your whole body going in and it's shocked. Your whole spinal column getting jolted. Your legs don't work anymore. That's the problem. Your legs don't work. They just stop working. They just nothing. You could tell them whatever the fuck you want. They don't, they're not listening.
40:06You're just trying to say shock waves for your brains, your legs. And your legs like me, if you don't get the fuck out of here, I'm going down. The most shocking to me was when I get hit on the chin because one time I got dropped, I got hit on the chin with a left hook and my legs just went like this. But they just shut off. Like it wasn't like I got hurt. Like, oh my god, I'm hurt. I'm going down. They just went shut off. The legs just shut off. And I was like, Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that? They just stop working. It's like my whole system got short -circuited. They just go point, what a stupid design.
40:41But this is just the jaw. The jaw is, it's really the turning of the, that's sometimes not though, because sometimes a straight shot, just on the tip of the jaw, it knocks people out. It's the whole person that is going back. I think there's something else going on too, specifically with the jaw, because you could spin someone's head around in other ways like on the cheek and it doesn't seem to have the same effect the jaw does. I think the jaw is behind the jaw. Cause, let me tell you, with that, whatever's going on in the jaw, I had a crown put in and the guy went too deep when he did a rookie now.
41:26No, he tried to numb me up to put in. So, he damaged the nerve that's in the line of the jaw. And it took like two months for that shit to heal. And it was excruciating. Like, it was excruciating. Nerves are rough. Nerves take a long it was excruciating. It was like, and then I had to still perform and I was doing meet and greets and I was having the smiles on this crown here. Oh my goodness. So, did it make your face perlased? It was, I was down my, I had to get all type of massages that, because the line of my jaw, they had to adjust it like maybe four times. Cause it was terrible. It was terrible.
42:16A lot of people get that, what is that called? What's that disease when you're half your face? Bell's palsy. Bell's palsy. That's crazy. I know a couple of guys with me. Half your face just was working. Yeah, I know a couple of guys with me had bell palsy. Yeah. You don't realize how lucky you are to be healthy until you're not. Yep, you got to take advantage of him. God, the most important thing. And that's another thing. People, they put all this effort into life and they don't put effort into that. And to health, which is crazy. It's crazy. And then don't, don't even try to look at the things that can make you more healthy.
42:57The amount of the amount of research that people do, they, they rather scroll on their phone, then just look up something that can be helpful to them personally. Yeah. Which is weird. It's the same thing. I think people don't think about the future that much. I mean, they do a little bit kind of abstract. I hate that whole. You got to die from something. Well, you got to die fucking miserable. You got to die. It's a lot of stuff that you don't have to die of. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know, there's more people dying today because they eat too much than starving the death for the first time in history.
43:35Wow. Yeah. You know, Texas is the United States. Good food. Terri Black's problem with you. What's up?
43:46Food here is fantastic. You know, people dying from eating too much. What's up? Terri Black I definitely eat too much with them there. Yeah. Yeah. We recreationally eat. Yes, we, we, do, we, we, we go just, oh, man, let me go see what this is about. Like, yeah, in Texas, we are the Kings and Queens of, let me just go check something out and go and then, oh, man, they got a new donut place. Let's go see what they talk about. Like, why? Because we have a, we have the currency. We have the, got a nice surplus. Oh, man. Yeah. Like, it's hard to go in the road once you, Texas is my home. It's where I grew up.
44:37Houston's, especially. We have great food. So then you go on the road, other places, anything. I'm going to take you to the best barbecue place. I'm going to take you to the best. So you like, and then you get there, you like, you spoiled. There's some places that have good barbecue. Apparently, Kansas City has good barbecue. Not really. No. It's a different thing, right? Not like here. No. Like, do you know where it came from? LA, LA has the, the worst Mexican food of all times to me. Like, really? Yes, the worst. Do you like Tex Max or regular Mexican? Oh, regular Mexican. I lived in a Mexican neighborhood in Houston.
45:17And they had the best food. Like, so I was like, I don't know what's the different, ass -tackers. I don't know. There's some spots in California. You just got to go to the spot where the Mexican goes. That's what, like, when I, when I'm in LA, it's some food. I was like, this is y 'all bad. I just go this place in the valley called the big burrito. They got like Mexican soap operas planned. Nobody speaks English. They have like, lingua, case ideas. See, that's everywhere in Houston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, that's the survival. Yeah. That's where I'm going to go. Like, I learned how to make tamales.
45:54I learned how to make tamales in the store called Fiesta from this Mexican lady who did not speak English. And she had a, she had a granddaughter translating what she wanted me to write down. And that's how I learned, I got the parts that I grinded by saying the whole nine. So it's hard for me to go places and say I was in, I was, well, I was at St. Louis, Kansas City. They're talking about, oh, these are my, oh, they got the best soul food seafood place. I'm like, okay, cool. I'm gonna go.
46:31I was, we eat, it's like the same, man. Look, when you don't season your batter, you know, that's, that's a normal thing everywhere in Houston. It's too many fish places that I can go to eat other, and then when Maryland, we got the best blue crab. I mean, I live on the Gulf. You know, you don't think we have blue crab here? Like, you know, we got a lot of food here. A lot of food. Yeah. A lot. It's a lot. It's a good place to eat. Yeah. There's some good spots in the country. There's some great food places in the country. I'm picking. Yeah. I'm supposed to have a kind of food you like to eat.
47:12I eat, that's the problem. I eat everything. All cultures if your food is good. I live in the place that happens to have all cultures and they have grateful. If I want to have any type of African food, I can just go on business in that in Houston. I can start at any end of business in that and I'm gonna find a good effort. We have five Chinatowns in Houston. Really? Yeah. There's five Chinatowns. Five Chinatowns. Isn't Houston the third biggest city in the country? Yes. That's a big country. That's a big city for this country.
47:47It's a place. Yeah. It's a place that has all food. I got Cuba food. I got Colombia food. How well Houston was the best comedy scene in the world at one point in the 80s. I still think that Houston is the greatest comedy scene. We put on a lot of great, a lot of great commas. We don't have the clubs anymore though. That's the thing. Yeah. Improv is there. Seeker group is there. These have the last stop. The last stop. The last stop. The last spot. Yeah. The last spot one under two. Yeah. Both. Do you remember Spellbinders? I heard about it. I never went through. Yes. Spellbinders. We had Spellbinders and then Improv bought out with the Spellbinders.
48:33So it's the Improv and the Seeker group. And then I think they got a new comic book called Rise. The comedy lounge on the north side. Yeah. Well, the Improv's a great club. That's a great club. I did. That was the first club I did coming back. I did that in July. I did one weekend. And then I got real high and I got paranoid that I was going to give people COVID like my guests because I'm so selfish and I want to do the road. Even though I was getting tested every day, I was like, what if it slips? What if I got a false negative? So I stopped. But I had a great time there. Speaking of great clothes, I stopped in last night at the mother's show.
49:12That's pretty wild, right? It's pretty nice. That's a nice comic club. Yeah. Very comic friendly. Yeah. Well, comic -built it. Yeah. And I built it specifically just for us. I didn't build it like a business. It's like if I was my accountant, I'd go crazy because the whole idea was I just want to break even. I just want to build it and make it the most friendly place ever for comedians. So the comedians make plenty of money. Everybody's happy. Everybody's packed. It's a beautiful road. That's a beautiful curtain. Thank you. The way to life. Yeah. It's dope. Then the name fat man, a little boy.
49:56Yeah. You know what that's from? Yeah. But you know why? No, I don't know why you did it. Because that's when the UFO started coming. That's when you got the UFO started coming. Yeah, it's part of UFO folklore. That's why when you walk in the middle of the lobby, that giant UFO. That's what that's for. That UFO is a replica of that. And that is a replica of the the craft that Bob Luzar, a guy who was a propulsion expert who was a whistleblower, who worked at Area S4, Area 51 of the Nevada Desert, back engineering alien spacecrafts, supposedly. But this is what he described. And that's what we put in there.
50:31The whole club, the whole idea of the comedy mothership, the whole idea is the club's themed on UFOs. It's the whole idea behind it. That's why it's that crazy gateway over the stage. It looks like a star port. Yeah. When they detonate the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that's when UFOs start coming. All the UFO activity ramped up substantially. And I think they realized we have nukes. Like these crazy motherfuckers in the whole city's with nukes. These fucking assholes, they had to come down and go, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing, man? What the fuck are you doing? Why do you think they came?
51:15I think they came. What the fuck is going on? Who gave them nukes in the way? Well, I think they realized we reached a level of technological sophistication that we could kind of kill everyone on Earth. Are you think one of them went rogue and taught us? I don't think one of them went rogue and taught us because there's a very, like if you go and look at the Manhattan project and you go and look at the history of splitting the atom, there's a very clear academic paper trail of how they figured this out. And all the trials that they did and what they did when they detonated the Trinity bomb, which by the way was one of the first times they ever discovered those nano diamonds.
51:53It's called, they're called Trinitite. And it's like nuclear glass, they called as well. And it's what happens when a massive impact hits sand. And it turns it into this kind of glass thing then. Because when they come with all the visits. Yeah. What would they, what would they visit them to do? Because I know, you know, they say we caught one or something like that. If you did, did you try to torture him and get stuff out of him? What would be the thing? But what would the visits if they wasn't teaching something? I believe in it. I just don't know what they were visiting to do. Well, the way I describe it is there's a great show on Netflix called CHIMP Empire.
52:39And CHIMP Empire is all about the scientists that are embedded in this CHIMP tribe. And they've been there for 30 years. Because these scientists have been there for 30 years, the chimpanzees behave like there's no people there. They can get within 20 feet of these chimpanzees. Chimpanzees, as long as they don't eat in front of them, and as long as they never present any sort of danger, raise their voices, and as long as they just stay back, the chimps don't pay attention to them at all. They just go throughout their life. And so these scientists are observing these chimpanzees and then the cinematographers captured all of this.
53:09I think the way we treat chimpanzees is probably, and they let them kill each other. They do wild shit to each other these chimps. They engage in territorial warfare, they fight over access to fruit. I think the aliens would treat us the same way. I think they would observe us, but not do anything. And I think if we did something fucking dangerous, like nuclear bombs, then they would go, whoa, okay. Because I think if aliens societies do exist, an intelligent life is out there in the universe. I think what happens is they keep getting more and more and more and more sophisticated. And in the beginning, they engage in tribal warfare, and as they become more and more sophisticated, their technology becomes far too dangerous to keep doing that same shit.
53:54And that's when they observe them. Because it's this perilous tipping point where we could completely wipe out life on Earth, or we can evolve and get to the next stage of existence where we could coexist harmoniously throughout the universe and join some fucking global, you know, some rather universal group of beings. It's possible. But the only way that's possible is if we don't nuke ourselves. So with the chimpanzees, they observe, the scientists are they observing them? Yeah. And they see them, they don't pay attention. See the problem with us that we scare. If we see an alien, I'm not going to not pay attention.
54:41I'm going to, who the fuck is that? I'm like, this is like being in black. Like, they got to look normal. I believe that it's definitely other life forms, definitely other civilizations is happening that we just not ready for. I don't think we ready. I don't think we got to be groomed. Do you think that there's like all these UFO sightings and the government talking about UFOs and these most recent, this whistleblower that came out and said that there's a crash retrieval program. And we have crashed vehicles and they've recovered alien bodies. You believe in I believe, but it's the old man like, hell now.
55:19I'm not messing with it. Yeah. And because he not ready for the difference. I mean, he is from Hillbilly that just now got you to see him, black people. He does show. He really great people. He really, he really was shit else. He's like, hey, man, what else, man? God damn. Like, you're like six eyes, man, what is this shit? Like, he's not ready. He's not ready, man. I wonder if that's what they're doing by show by by these sightings. I wonder if it's like a trickle effect. Like, if it's a little bit like with the Jetsons, we still don't believe in the Jetsons. And we like nobody. So they were already pulling people up on on big screens, talking to each other and shit on the Jetsons.
56:09Yeah. And my mother was watching the Jetsons. Who thought that the Jetsons, so when it happened, you just, you just winning. Got it. Oh, it's $800. You just got excited about having it. Instead of what the fuck? Now you could, it's the Jetsons. It's, it's you in this time frame. It has to be a groom. It's like, okay, let's see how they act with ET. Okay, they seem in love that movie. Um, shit, let's throw out out there. Let's see if they ready for a furry one. It was the end then. Then it's like, hey, maybe the muppets, maybe the mother's big ass bird. You know, just rolling around and talking stuff.
56:53It's some, it's some, then we go, we advanced up to, um, what was that? The man from Mars and then the great gazoo. And then now we up to man and black. And, and this shit is all right. You know, because it's, you know, you, the man, it's a trickle. It's a, I've got to keep feeding the tom. And then all of a sudden, you just see some, somebody just come down the spaceship at McDonald's. I'm like, hey, what's up, y 'all, y 'all good? Let me get to Big Macs. And like, we, we love y 'all. It's it. Now you get a, you got to get a custom to it. What year was the Jetson supposed to be? I just looked, uh, it's made 1962 and let me get hundreds of years in the future.
57:47Oh, okay. So 2062. Wow. And here's some of the stuff they had. They had flying cars. They'll never use that. They'll never go. Robotic dogs. Yeah. Oh, people drunk flying hell now. They had robotic vacuums, video calls, tablet computers, robotic house help. They had tablets. Yes. I don't remember that. They wear for spraisly sprockets. Flying cars, smart watches, dead smart watches, drones, holograms, 3D printed food. Oh, yeah, that's right. They had a pill cam. We swallow it. It sees your body. Oh, look at George. He knows that's going up. It's like screen TV. It's all the jet packs. Yeah. There's a few other articles that do the same thing, but the jet packs they have now is that one dude that's got wings on his jet pack and they've caught them like flying around buildings and shit.
58:47I keep, you can, I don't think they last long. I think you can only stay up for a few minutes, but you can fucking fly till you run out of gas. This is it. Holders is not it. What is this one? It was 10 years ago. What's the most reset? What can they do now? I've seen that guy I think in, it might be to buy jet wings suit. Yes. That's it. That's it. That is fucking wild. The jet wing. Is there a video these guys using this? I figured there would be on their website on their Instagram. You definitely got to have on a five proof of jazz. Look at that. Look at this motherfucker. Oh, yeah. Look at this finer on buildings.
59:30They said crazy. Like what are the odds of those things failing? I mean, that's not like a Toyota Corolla. Those things aren't reliable. That's a fucking emerging technology. You're going to be risky your life flying over highways. That's wild. If that happens in the future, the promise people are just going to be doing it just like you see people on the highway riding wheelies, just flying down the highway. Wild shit. They're going to be doing that in the air, slamming in the houses. That's why they don't give you flying cars. I'm really not messing with this car. Just just get in and just let the car drive for you.
1:00:09I'm not trusting it like that. Yeah, I don't trust it. I have it. I don't trust it. Do you have it? Yeah, I have a Tesla. This is just get in and just I can go and say, hey, take me to enter in your address that you want to go to press auto navigate. Yeah. And it takes on bus lights. No, you're supposed to keep your hand on the wheel, though. He's supposed to keep your hand on the wheel. Yeah, trust me. I mean, I'll be saying people would lay back. I can't do it. So that's a driverless taxi. I've seen him around Austin. I just I've seen him too. Did they just drive real slow? Man, I'm not I'm not checking for a fam.
1:00:50I'm not I'm not doing it. Yeah, that's the future. No, we're looking at that. We're saying I think people don't realize that they get they trying to get rid of you with this like like I don't do self -checkout because it doesn't make sense to me. Like, why am I helping them get you out of here? And I know I want to talk to a person. It's something to go wrong. I don't do self -check out. And plus, I don't come nowhere to work. I just got off work. Why would I come here to work? Well, you're from a different generation and the generation of kids that are coming up today. How many of them Uber? They don't even have cars.
1:01:21Easy. A lot of people Uber now. They just take lifts. Okay. Okay, what? Okay, so this generation Uber, then the next generation Uber, who knows how to drive the car in the third generation? Well, then you're going to be having these things. There's going to be a generation whether it's our grandchildren or their grandchildren that never drives. That no one drives their own car. Everybody has an automated vehicle. That's like, that's like writing. They take writing. The kids don't learn in school how to write. They don't learn cursing. They don't learn cursing. That's crazy to me. Yeah. That's insane.
1:01:52That's insane. It's insane. They're all just typing on their phones and typing on their computer. They don't mean get rid of writing. That's crazy. They took the clock out of the school because the people have digital junk. But you still want them to be able to tell. You know, America is not the world. You're going to probably go somewhere else in the world and you're going to have to write something. That's crazy. And you see at clock, you're like, what the fuck is that? I mean, when you used to digital. And then when you used to get offended, when people said stupid Americans, now you're like, I understand.
1:02:27Why wouldn't it be me? It's country's crazy, man. Well, I think there's some Americans that go abroad. They just act like fucking assholes. You know, they think they're allowed to. Is there another country? Yeah, I think, no, I think locked up abroad has changed that whole idea. Locked up abroad has changed. Oh, you I go anyway and do whatever I want to do. Like you know, you've seen the show like to abroad. No, why don't you come up with episodes? Yeah. Why don't you come up episodes and then go over the Yugoslavia and see how you feel about them. It's and then when people get taken. Yeah. Like, man, I don't I don't go anywhere and don't check in with the embassy.
1:03:10Like I need, I need to know, I need somebody to know why I'm at. So when you go to a country to work, you check in with the embassy? Yeah, I'm going to, hey, I'm going to tell you why I need to know y 'all that was. Yeah, I need to know because I'm not going somewhere. I don't know what the embassy is and I was Jason born. You got at least you can run to the embassy and say at least in that. But if I go to Dallas, I'll let me use it. If I go to Dallas, I'm checking in with the embassy. I'm not.
1:03:43I'm just not rocking with being in this world without knowing my whereabouts. Even though I'm a grown man, I just I'm going to say something to somebody. I'm going to roll over here because I need a I need a witness or an alibi. I need something. I just I don't believe in being in the world by yourself. I just don't. That's a good move. The world is definitely not America either. Yeah, that's the thing. It's not. Like look what happened to Brittany Griner. That would not happen in America. Russians come to America and they do all kind of like Russians fight in the UFC almost every weekend and no one cares.
1:04:23No one gets mad at them. No one no one screams at them. No one throws things at them. They go out there. People cheer when they win. There's a ton of Russian fighters that are in the UFC. You know, you know, something I've been a friend of mine was talking another comic draw a G and we just talking to you, man, this is this country is crazy that when you remember with Floyd, they were the fault Manipek. Yeah, in the same country where they I'm talking holding up the flag and the United States all the way to the center. We was talking. He said, man, he said the first time he was at a fight for the white fight party.
1:05:09And this is it. He said, I hope he kicks the shit out of Floyd. He said, what? He said, I if you couldn't find one Filipino in the world that was going for Floyd made with not one, but you can find a bunch of Americans somebody who was born and raised right in Michigan. You can find a bunch of Americans who was wanting the Filipino to beat him. That's true. That's a very good point. Filipinos are very proud. Very nationally. Like people. I love Manipek. Yes. My son, my son is a very gentle soul. And Manipek, I was one of the ones I showed him because he, I don't know, to be a boxer, my 12 year old, he doesn't really want to beat you up.
1:05:53Like, I like, but I saw you going to have to hit people. But then, you know, I'm just, I don't said, let me show you one of the most gentle people in the world, but until he gets in there, I know. And I showed him Manipek out and Mike Tyson, I was like, look, these are gentle people. And then they get in the ring and another button happens. That's how you going to have to be. Yeah. Did you see the Mayweather Goddy thing yesterday? No, I didn't. So John Goddy, the mobster, his grandson, the brawl. Yeah. So what happened was, this is the end of the fight. But if you could, see if you could find what caused it, because there's a, there's a video that shows the end of the fight.
1:06:39And in the end of the fight, what happened was, if you just Google, just tweet, like put Mayweather Pacquiao in Twitter, put it, you'll find it. Excuse me, Mayweather Goddy. What caused it? He was holding. So he wouldn't stop. Floyd was boxing him up. Yeah. So Floyd is just piecing him up. So Floyd, you know, I mean, even at 46, he's the greatest of all time. And this kid is really an MMA fighter. He's a tough guy. He caught Floyd a couple of times with some little shots. But mostly, mostly he's just getting boxed up, right? Boxed up by literally the greatest boxer of all time. But he was holding on quite a bit and wouldn't let go and was trying to like hold and clinch and hit, which is something like right here, which is something you can do in MMA.
1:07:24So he's protecting himself from Floyd, but he's not letting go. And so Kenny Bayless gets tired of him not listening and not letting go. And he pushes him off and he says, that's it. I'm stopping this fight. That's it. You won't listen to me. I am calling this fight. So he goes crazy and gets away from Kenny Bayless and just starts wailing punches at Floyd. I think his Floyd catches him on a counter right there. Bang. Yeah, knocked him away over the hero. Yeah, well, the other guy got the one, too. But, you know, I mean, it became a melee. And so then there's fights in the ring. And then there's fights outside the ring.
1:07:59There's all this cell phone footage of footage of people brawling soccer punch each other. Some of that. I was just crazy. This this sometimes is beta. Um, yeah. Here's the sprawls outside. But it's right in this random brawl. Just people just screaming and yelling at each other. But at the end of the day, just, you know, here's just getting frustrated. Floyd was just boxing him up, which is what he does. That's what you came into his sport. Yeah. Got him to his arena. You growl into the snake hole. And then man, the snake will bite you. Yeah, you can't bite me like that. Like you in my hole. Yeah, I don't know why he didn't listen, why he didn't let go.
1:08:42I don't know if they were talking shit to each other. I don't know what was going on. But Kenny said that's it. That was a wrap. And then everybody went crazy. That's crazy. Including him. Freddie didn't expect that. Probably thought maybe they've taken any, well, there's no points, right? Because it's an exhibition. So that's what's interesting is Floyd's making more money than anybody. And he's boxing people have no chance of beating him. And he's doing it as an exhibition. It doesn't even hurt his record. Because of the drug of boxing. Also money. Just like the, but I don't even think he needs, he don't need money.
1:09:16He spends so much money. Yeah, but he don't need any for sure. Yeah, Floyd good. I bet he's if he's planned for the future, you got to keep it coming in. If you're going to keep spending the way he spends. Yeah, but I think he has a lot of other business interests that he can get money from. Hopefully. And not just boxing. But it's the it's the drug of getting Floyd still trains when he when he doesn't have a fight. He posted so we could go of all of the Air Force ones he buys. He only wears them once and then gives them away to someone. One fresh pair of day. Come on, man. He needs that money.
1:09:53Somebody has to keep coming in. If you're going to live like this, it's not that expensive though, but it's only 46. But he does this with everything, man. He's got $1 ,000 ,000 watches. I don't think he buys every pair. He was given to him. Yeah. Because then you get a video like that. Right. That's smart. And then you get Floyd's Air Force ones giving away for charity. That's a tax right off. Yeah, you got a good point. But those $1 ,000 ,000 watches, they're not giving you those. They they still, you know, worth whatever they were. It's like we got eight of them. Yeah. You guys look at all those diamonds.
1:10:31That's ridiculous. That's millions of dollars worth of diamonds. I mean, that is that's bonkers. That's crazy. Yeah. Let's watch. Yeah, he's like a professional bar. Like that watch right there is not like I wouldn't wear it because it's not my thing. Yeah. Even if, you know, I had I wouldn't wear it. It's just not attractive to me. No, I'm not into playing dial watches either. I like mechanical watches like a metal. Yeah. That's where I like, but, you know, I get it. Yeah. Metal. Yeah. They work like dive watches. Yeah. That's why we're wise that you can dive in. Well, I wear them so you can set a timer.
1:11:19Like I want to do, so I spend that little bezel. I can set it for 15, 20 minutes. I was looked down and know how much time's passed. It's very convenient to have a little tiny watch. Very convenient. It's great when someone's going on stage. You're like, how long has it been up for? Because sometimes you forget you're in the green room. I just look at my watch. Yeah. I don't have to remember what time you went on stage. Okay. One of the days, 907. So what time is it now? I don't have to do that. As soon as someone goes on stage, all right. Damn. No, I know. It's perfect. Perfect. I've watched literally his design for comedians.
1:11:55It's great. Someone's going on stage. They're doing 15 minutes. You can go outside, hang out, smoke a joint, go. He's at seven, you know. And that's the perfect thing. People don't understand, and that's the other things that we get away from using your brain because you, you know, take the clock down. Insane. Well, that's the least of what's insane about schools today. The biggest, the biggest insanity is that it's not a cherished position to teach people. It's not a position where you have the most qualified, the best people possible and they get paid really well because they have an incredible job.
1:12:31They're educating the young children and that education can literally form the path that you go on for the rest of your life. Your experiences that you have in schools with good teachers, they can shape and form you in a way that changes your whole life. They can expose you to ideas that you never heard before and changes the way you think about things, changes the path of your life. Yeah, you can do all of that with things. Or okay, let's go to this point first. New Zealand has the best school system as teachers who get paid and they also have the best teachers because they have people who want to be teachers.
1:13:15I think that if it's not a position in this in this country where it's made attractive, where people can one survive and actually have the world of what they really want to be teachers. I think that sometimes we have a lot of people. I grew up when the kids of the day of the day had my teachers, I think everything would be cool because they had teachers that inspired thought and creativity and wanted to be teachers. That's the biggest thing when you have people who want to do their job or do their, or it's more like a passion to them. Like every teacher I ever known, that was great. You just tell me that this is a label, this is a label of love.
1:14:05Like I love teaching. I'm gonna teach you just what I was designed to do. I'm not waiting to do anything else. And if you have teachers that are walk out for more money, you should also walk out for a better curriculum as well if your desire is to teach children and to inspire the youth to be, and I credit teachers for everything that I am, you know, my mom's a teacher. So it's like I'm my friends and teachers, my sisters in Thailand right now teaching English. It's like I come from that and I always loved my science teacher was my coach, too. He wasn't just the coach. He was the math, one year was the math teacher, one year was the history teacher, you know, it was people who desired and wanted to nourish children.
1:15:03And the pay, it definitely has to be increased, but you have to increase the things of the quality of what you're paying for. But don't you think that that's how you do it? If you want to get better teachers, the better curriculum, don't you think you incentivize them with more money so you would get more motivated people? I think you do both at the same time, that you change the criteria, you change the pay and you change the criteria what it is to be teaching at the same time. And then you put these kids in a system to where it's everything is nourishing, even down to the food. You take all these cafeteria workers out and you push chefs back there.
1:15:45You put some people and you teach them and give them time to just change the whole system. They should have an hour to eat and they should get a four -course meal. They should be talk things while they're eating. They should be in a very clean environment that you have. I used to love the custodian when I was growing up. He always wanted to, he took pride in keeping the school clean. It wasn't a job that was looked down upon because he did everything. He was the maintenance man and the custodian. And he used to be like, hey man, I got this bathroom cleaned here, now y 'all going to stop pissing all over the dam.
1:16:23That's why he's talking to me in the fourth grade. Hey, stop pissing all over the dam thing. And they're like, yes sir. And he taught you hygiene in the bathroom. Like I think that you should change, like I see all these these things with what they change in how they house prisoners. I get that. But change how you teach children to where you don't have to house prisoners. That's the goal. You're doing the shit backwards. And I don't get that part of it. That's where I get worried. And that's why I worry that, you know, I don't know how many times I talked about it on this podcast, but it came up recently because there was a man named Bruce Brian.
1:17:12And he, he did 29 years for a crime that he didn't do. And my friend Josh Dubin who used to be, he used to work with the, the Innocence Project. Now he does his own thing and he releases, he gets prisoners released. He's an attorney, civil rights attorney. And he goes these places, finds these people. We've talked about this so many times. If they really wanted to fix it, what they would do is they would figure out the areas that have the most crime and dump a shitload of money in it. And it's shitload of time and effort and try to figure out how to mitigate all these problems in these places.
1:17:47And you're going to have less people that go to those places. And until they do that, they don't care. And then you've got these fears of things like the prison guard unions that literally lobby to keep marijuana drug laws so that people keep going to jail. So they'll have more people in their jails. So they don't lose jobs, which is crazy. That's crazy to think of. There's something as innocuous as marijuana. And you get prison guard unions who are actively trying to keep the laws in place so that they're employed. So you got a private prison system. So you got a prison system where you can make money, which is terrifying.
1:18:25So it's like this. You've been talking about this for years. I'm glad you're talking about it. Glad other people started talking about it. So how do you boost up our economy when in a small town? So you got in Texas, you have a lot of small towns. And there's a place called LA, Texas. So if you decide a Hondur, Texas. So what you do is you put a prison in Hondur, which you employ the towns, people of Hondur, because they go through your, they go through your system of training. They don't have to have law enforcement. You just train them and how to run your system. So you get some people that come from San Antonio, San you get some people from Hondur and then you boost the economy of Hondur.
1:19:16Then you do that in multiple towns. That's why the prison system is going to constantly do that because you're trying to boost the economy around. You'll think it will, but it's maybe 200 prisons in Texas. Is it really that many? Yeah. With that in private facilities, what you have, what they call transit units, which is all of this stuff of being a domino effect three years because I'm going to go through the first three years and then the last three years. And show people how this system, you know, you know, populates itself. It's an industry. Yeah, it's definitely an industry. That's what Bruce is explaining that the town in upstate New York where the prison he was in was located and everyone relied on the prison.
1:20:14The people that generational people that their families had worked as prison guards. You know how dangerous this is. So you get into it with a guard on first shift. On the first shift, you get into it with a guard on first shift. So you get into it with officer Smith on first shift. Second shift, officer Smith's mother and officer Smith's brother work on the second shift. Officer Smith's father works on the third shift. Then he's a captain. Do you know how much you know how treacherous this becomes because now something that happened on first shift, which is over because he's gone. But it's been told to his brother and his mother.
1:21:11So now you got a problem on second shift now and you have a problem on third shift. So with a high ranking person that's in a system that has no police outside of the warden or the captain that's over them that's on another shift that's related to them that live in the same town with them or that's married into them or that's neighbors with them. And then you who you how do you get contact you got to write somebody who you write and they review every letter in the people that's in the mail room. How you even know your letter even got out when his niece is working in the mail room. So you don't know nobody knows that you even got beat and thrown in in solitary confinement.
1:22:07They could kill you and make up something because everybody is relying on the same thing. We can't close the prison now over one person getting killed two people before 10 people getting killed okay. It happens in prison. That's what that's what people think that happens in prison. No it don't. But when you put people in a small town in a prison where everybody's related, everybody knows each other. This is what happens to people. So it's not just a you not inside with one danger. You inside with a lot of dangers. Like most of the time people don't think that they can get killed every day or die every day.
1:22:50They didn't joke. They ain't your first thought. But in this place, this is the thought. Now you can be killed by or I can be killed by the white. I can be killed by the Mexicans. I can be killed by some of my black. They don't like me. This from a different side of time. I can be killed by the officers. That's a lot. That's a lot of mental strain on you every day if you don't learn how to navigate this. But that's that's the system that you live in when you especially you if they build a prison in a small town where everybody is there's nobody to oversee this that has some other invested interest like if you was from another place and you're like I just want my prison to be ran right and if I get any of these complaints or if something happens on this you can regulate that but when it's all the same I mean you in you in trouble in trouble and then you make people work for 16 cents a day when you get 16 cents in that not in Texas.
1:23:4916 dollars a day. Would it Bruce Brian say no zero dollars in Texas. Zero dollars in Texas. Zero. No you see I know about other places why I'm saying they may get that in other places but in Texas it's zero dollars. What was it in in sync sync this is 16 dollars a day that's what you said right. Something insane. Texas is zero. That's crazy. You work it and you work it and you make you make things and they sell them. You make things and you sell them they sell them for sure and you make and you and you do you clear fields and you grow crops and you do all that and some of that stuff that you you eat what you grow you know saying so it's been a this has been a place this place is like no other place but it's different and most people are unaware of this and they are unaware because Texas is very close close lip about how they operate they don't like on their show lock up you just seeing every other prison every other prison system open eight doors up to hey come and see how we do things not Texas not one time Texas is like man y 'all better get out of here and they can and they and they can this is our own place like if if the people that come from other places and they get into like in Houston there's a lot of people that's coming from other places that doing crime and then they understanding that once the law enforcement system in Houston is different and it's big and they crawl and they cross talk it's not like you can't be in Iowa County and not in Missouri in Missouri city in Sugarland and Harris County and bail out police all these people they ain't the hospitals and the sheriffs like all these people coincide with each other it's not like one system so when you get called they put you in Harris County system and it's not no cake wall and you gonna learn you gonna learn fast that it's not like or they don't slap you on your wrist like other places no you can man you can get a life sentence in Houston easy it I'm easy do do something do something out of pocket like he was doing somewhere oh you gonna you gonna you gonna just car jack all right that's a that's a capital offense you had a weapon while you was called jacking oh okay capital with that start with 35 it's whatever it is it's gonna be 35 years and up so get get that wrapped around your mind oh you oh you oh you watched them come out the bank oh you pre -meditated robin oh okay show got you on video too and you had a weapon oh yeah another capital like damn like like as soon he man you can't hit with so many charges and then they find out you got a weapon you got a weapon like this this is how they wanted you yeah the way they read it though capital on everything because they need more people to put in these jails but he's scary I'm scared he's like this I only had to go once and it's nothing ever in my life that I do to have a give back to that position nothing nothing like our whole court in the street before before something like that happens look I'm not in favor of car jacking our armed robbery nothing any stretch of the imagination but until you address why this is all happening yeah until you address why some people have zero need to rob people and some people that's the only way they can get by or the way they've learned to get by and it's been in their their neighborhood for sure they've been dealing with gang violence and drug dealing and chaos all their life so I assure you this
1:27:43being formally from this position have I not seen anything else like ever see sometimes sometimes I can rationalize when people say I don't know anything else you have a smartphone how did you find out about smartphones because they didn't come to the hood and drop a bunch of smartphones in the hood so how did you find out about it what you was watching what you was at okay so you were somewhere okay cool where they doing what you were doing what you're doing right now at that place like like what they well you when you found out about a smartphone were they gang banging at the place or were they shooting and robbing people and cutting up dope like what movie haven't you seen that that shows you the results of this what person haven't you heard speak like even when I was even when I was doing wrong I had a sensibility of I heard public enemy while I was doing wrong like I heard run DMC I heard other things that had positive stuff while I was still doing wrong and I can't say it's all I know because now I wouldn't have never found out about a smartphone if I was in the street because I would be in the street so it's not all you know but it is what you're accustomed to if you grow up in a terrible neighborhood I don't I don't even think if you don't have good role models if the people around you I mean you tell me it's I this is what I'm this is what I'm saying I think that it's a lot of parts to this that but when it's also like when raising kids like I like my oldest daughter I used to tell tell her mom don't say this in front of her because then you give her that option as an excuse yeah something she probably never would have even thought of using but when I give her the option to use it that's the thing like with me I'm very transparent about I mean I didn't have to be in the street so my mom had a job my desire for what I accepted outside of what my mother was saying to me because nobody's mother is saying to them get out in the street in gang bang and and create Rutgers nobody so when does that voice become less important to you than whatever you're seeing in the street because nobody in my community now one black mother I ever even known in my life said today child this is the only way for you to go and get it is to rob pillage deal kill sale dope not one person I've never heard that story why I was in why I was in prison from nobody and when people would tell me man it's all I know how in the hell is that all that you know it's impossible for that to be all that you know because you were doing something before you were doing that I see what you're saying I see what you're a person that takes extreme responsibility though you're also a grown man and you're also a man with a fully formed brain and you're frontal lobe as a kid as a kid as a kid you as a kid you knew this as a kid I wasn't I wasn't with man Joe man with me we was out in the street doing stuff we knew that it was wrong that's why we was trying to hide it from our pairs I wasn't trying I wasn't trying to hide my basketball championship from my mother of course I wasn't trying to hide when I was working and earned something from working I wasn't trying to hide that from a I knew exactly what I was doing because of the how we were going about doing it and all of us knew that we were wrong and the consequences what was what was ridiculous was we thinking that it's a we just go in and get a slap on the wrist not understanding what you got to go through to even get that slap on the wrist because when you once you got to get arrested first and when you go to when you go to the county jail the county jail is not a place this is full of grown man and they don't care nothing about you being 17 they don't care nothing about you being 18 kidding about you being 19 because you didn't whatever you were doing in the street you didn't care so why would we care about what you got going on here and we're going to put you in the worst position so maybe you can say that you don't want to be in this position maybe it's the people who love you will come get you out of this position like my mother did the first time when my mother bought me out of the first time I should have learned then I should have learned then this lady has a job and I'm making it harder for her I'm putting my mother in the whole $2 ,000 I got a $20 ,000 bond how old are you though I'm 16
1:33:19I'm saying yeah and I have no reason because I want to God damn um you an LV jacket well you know that now but what did you think when you were 16 you know what when happened what happened was how you even get in this situation I'm in the car with some people that's really petty they really petty and I know these people petty because they they rob and people and I'm not no rob I'm a hustler and I know better than be with somebody that's a robber because it's two different it's two different categories don't think I'm hustling for whatever I want you're taking something from somebody you're a thief and I'm in the car and he snatched his lady purse and I don't say nothing I'm in the car this on camera in the parking lot everybody's going to call we going to I'm not going to snitch on you but I didn't take no purse and I told my mother I didn't take that lady purse but did you did you get some joins from the credit card and somebody used I will them but I didn't take them from the lady I told them and that's stupid and boom now I'm on probation being and I'm working at the grocery store and but I still got I still got bread and dead from my hustling so I'm trying to I'm in a position and I'm trying to figure out how to give my mother this $2 ,000 back put some dumb shit that I didn't do and I'm not supposed to be with nobody even like this and see nowadays people got this this weird loyalty to people who they don't even fucking know that's the crazy you gotta you gotta loyalty to somebody who you don't know that I ain't got as much to lose as you I only hang I only really hang with me and they got things to lose like me so you make better decisions yeah hey man I'm not hey man you you got enough you man what what are you responsible for or who are you responsible for that means a lot to me as a character of your person oh I'm just out for self I don't know bro okay I ain't gonna be and you ain't got nobody just be responsible for you just yourself now you got no like nobody you'll think of your mom or your father but like no great off to nobody you got nobody to in your life there's hell now like man if my agent Joe Joe don't have no kids but he still loves his family like he got so he got so he got so he got so he got so like that he was responsible my role man the drake he take care his parents he got kids but he take care his parents he got somebody else he can't be in the streets wilding if they got he got too grown as he got look after I'm sad that his dog died because he ain't been home lately because his dog ain't at the house like I'm gonna get him a new dog or something like he got to be responsible something hmm because they responsible for me they responsible for different aspects of what go on in my life so you got to care and love something because you know that I care and love something yeah so you want the best for me because you want the best for yourself yeah the one of those dudes I know they have no response but it gets real weird when they get in their 40s yeah man like it's we're real weird do you know how weird it is to have somebody that's that's 45 years old 50 years old coming to your house for your kids birthday party and he's coming in and he was out in the kitchen if you don't get so grown I'm responsible it's all he is like like it's just man you got to that's a part of your man at least bring your bring your mom or somebody man bring somebody else that love you man like we have people in our family that don't have any they don't have any other family but they've been around a long time they've been around before I even had kids like if you want to have a successful civilization you have to have families got to have family you would never have a successful civilization of all single men with no responsibility that moved to a spot I'm going to let you to pair so fast I'm going to let you to be over yeah that's not going to work in these families I mean they've always said that I mean that's that's like something that emperors have they've written is down you know that you have to you have to have families people have to have family that's how you can control them as well how so they stay controlled and how you can control them well I would prefer not to look at my family it's on form of control no no no it's not that way it's it's also you you know did she pal said it best he said having children didn't just increase my love and increase my capacity for love yeah it's a beautiful quote I think it's perfectly described because that's exactly what happens it changes who you are as a person when you're responsible for young people it just fundamentally changes yeah you think on a different level when you responsible for young people and when I am at my best I'm the most charitable to everyone because I think of people as babies like this is a baby that grew up to be this dude on him in front of now I think even if they're annoying me I try real hard to just imagine what the fuck they went through to get to be this person right now this is not fun it's not fun to be annoying it's not fun to be them you know it's what we're talking about moron it's saying stupid shit and they're annoying it's not fun to be them we're no one's impressed with you no one's interested in what you have to say you're you're fucking spitting in people's faces and you're drunk and stupid it's terrible you don't want to be that guy it's terrible but I tried to always imagine yeah it happens all the time I've had some doosies they always want to tell you about their business hmm there's want to tell you how good their business is doing like Jesus Chris I don't even know you man this is crazy talk crazy talk give me the fuck out of here and then when you're talking to someone and they want to get the fuck out of there and you know they they want to get the fuck out of there then you feel insecure and then you try to be more entertaining or nice get try to turn them around and they're like that's not fun for them that poor little baby that poor little baby grew up to become an annoying 45 year old dude that poor little baby that's what started that poor little baby you 45 but he's a poor little baby poor little babies are goofy socially awkward dude it's just annoying and they say where is the they do the problem is you used to talking to comics that's part of the problem you used to I'm so used to talking to comics it's so fun so my favorite people to talk to so when I talk to people the story suck you got great stories like you're a master storyteller you you can tell fucking story if you're at a party and you're telling a story people gonna listen it's gonna be interesting it's gonna be funny shit some people suck at stories and there's nothing worse when you've heard a real good story to go back to listening to a sucky story that's that's true that's true that that's true are you like so and I know because I'm like what is the story teller when people talk to me they try to tell me and I and I'd be kind of rushing it like and I like all this part is this could be interesting but this you're losing me in all of this part right reason for knowing like man speed it up like you got there in two words and then I say so so what happened then like I'm trying to tell you what the story like man when I went back and then I don't like when people repeat the first part of the man I heard you the first time because this is how I listen to people story I just listen like I'm not the yeah and go ahead and yeah no I'm just yeah man did you really want to say yes because I am actively listening I'm not listening to respond I'm just I'm locked in actually locked down and or you know I said nothing I'm gonna remember all the points that I want to say when you're done because you you may cover something that I'm thinking right so I don't want to interrupt you in the course of it I'm just listening and then oh I can mark that out because you just said why that happened that's okay podcasting okay okay okay okay okay so all that happened right okay okay so going back that's what that's what I that's what I do because I know how to actively listen yeah there's a mighty story I love doing Tony and I do that all the time with comedians where we're like this whole thing you don't need that part that whole part is just wasted time you know the whole setup part everyone knows what that means just say this oh yeah and that's what kill Tony is right yeah and I'm supposed to be doing that he doing tonight yeah oh it's gonna be great I did it a Saturday night I did the big one that they did the 10th anniversary it was wild the fucking the rabid fans that they have it's crazy man it's crazy 3 ,000 people it sold out and as quick as they could sell the tickets it's sold out under an hour oh wow and you get there and they're like I haven't experienced that yet I'm oh my god I'm waiting um 2024 we supposed to be doing a theater tour I hope it's like really just sales out just oh you're gonna get like eight million eight what eight how many eight point what that's the first that's the first one we the second one we trying to get you know 10 million 16 million you're gonna you're gonna have to change to bigger venues yeah it's gonna happen so fast you're gonna be in arenas you're gonna be on arenas 100 % but you're doing arena do it in the round in the round yeah you know why believe it or not it's actually more intimate it seems weird but when it's a stage it's a big tall ass stage and you're looking down on people in the own front of you it's weird it's like you got to almost project to like bring them in to you like come on we're all I know there's a lot of us but we're all just hanging out you know but when it's in the round everybody on this side is looking at everybody on this side and everybody on this side is looking at everybody on this side everybody sees everybody laughing and everybody's laughing at everybody and the sound is insane and you just walk around and you get used to it you just walk around and and talk and while you're walking around you do your jokes and there's giant screens everywhere so people could always see your facial expressions you know it's intimate you know what's the thing that I um in this business just wanting to be a good comic just wanting to develop that skill then getting to this point where we've been talking about 2024 we going up we going to theaters like we and we're taking some big swings some big places you know in Chicago and in New York and you're doing Chicago theater we hoping that's a great fucking fan you you know and then in the in the course of trying to shoot domino effect three and four in september trying to find a venue for that um the thought of doing arenas and getting to that getting to that point and when people say man are you you've been doing some 25 years are you tired like I get bored like you don't get bored with the elevation of doing things on a bigger a bigger scale like doing all these shows that sold out and adding shows and when you walk out and people coming to see you but now doing a rena or doing a theater when people coming to the theater to actually see somebody tell stories I'm not coming to see you do no TikTok clips or because that's now I'm not seeing coming to see you do crowd work I'm coming in with the whole mindset of he's about to do a hour and 30 minutes of compelling stories and this is what I came for to get that type of locked in is on an audience I'm once I cheated I think I'm I'm gonna be very very happy you can you you're gonna slide right into that it's no different no different than clubs it's no different the only thing that's different is the environment but the experience of doing is the same thing it's just killing it's the same thing just just the the challenge what makes it interesting for me 30 plus years in whatever my I'm like 34 something 35 years in something crazy the challenges jokes it's new jokes new bits getting better you always get better you figure out where to tighten it figure out a way to do this one better every new bit is a new living thing that you're feeding and growing and trying to make it the most palatable and the most exciting and the sneakiest and the funniest and the most outrageous get the biggest laughs with it like what's the funniest way to say this and every day you fuck with it a little more and every day you're adding to it and every day you're putting a new piece here a new piece there I love it I don't have to do it I do it just because I love it yeah yeah that's why I open up the club that's why I tour I'm I'm supposed to be coming to the club I'm excited when are you here I don't know the date but I assume you're gonna love it you're gonna love it it's like the end of July I think it's a fucking great place man it's set up just for us it's set up just for us everything about it everything about it from the way you move around the club where you you don't have to go through the crowd to go from room to room to the way the green room set up I'm the balconies so you can watch the show this black curtain is so beautiful right beautiful you know we had to change it it was a blue curtain at first but then we put on the monitors like it really looked really nice the guy the the architect who did it Richard wise is amazing and he did a fan he did the whole building amazing amazing job but he wanted to make it pretty right so he had a beautiful hardwood like light hardwood floors and a blue screen a blue curtain rather and we were watching on the screen and you know I'm fucking with everything right in the beginning especially we need a light here in the light that we need timers underneath the monitors everybody knows how much time you're doing and so you know how much the time the guys on stage how long he's been up and also we want a light for each room so when you're in the the little room it's a green star in the green room so when he gets the light you see the light so there's a green star lights up in the green room and if it's in the the big room it's a blue star so it's all this tweaking and shit we did and we're watching on the monitor I'm like that floor's got to go it's got to be black carpet black carpet and a dark like sparkly black curtain just like in the little boy there's the smaller room so we put that in there now it's yeah now I don't want to fuck with anything now I'm like we're good I look for the balcony yes amazing yeah it's amazing it's amazing I can't wait to come and it's right on six trees yeah Austin is all lit up in the front it looks everybody's so hyped up they're so hyped up it's it's such a because we were talking about doing it for two years yeah I I had actually bought another building and I had I had to get out of the deal there was like some shit wrong with it and I got out of the deal and so it took a whole extra year to like get this other place and then once I got the place I had two months of coffee you know what's amazing is that when you you have friends that they say so like yeah I bought another building I know it sounds stupid then I grew up with that yeah so I had a whole other building and then I had to get out and I had to sell that building to me like who buy building that's that's dynamic go ahead though it's normal for me now I know it sounds fucked up I'm just I'm just being honest so the building that I bought was owned by a cult get out of town yeah I didn't know the extent of it until I was already in the deal to it already signed the contract my friend Adam called me up he goes hey man you watch the document around this cult Adam Adam get out of town coordinating I go no he goes oh it's bad you should watch it he was it's fucking crazy it's called holy hell yeah it's about this dude his name is Jaime Gomez and he was a gay porn star and a hypnotist and he started a club or it started a cult rather in West Hollywood he was teaching people yoga and he got a bunch of young disciples they they believe that he was a guru and then he was god energy and he convinced him to brand this game for like 10 fucking years maybe he was 100 % he was 100 % that's how that's how we got in trouble that's they all started talking because one guy left the cult and when he left the cult he sent a mass email saying hey man this guy's been hypnotizing me it's fucking me for the past 10 years and then they all started talking about it and they all started sharing the email and they all started sharing their stories with them they had all kind of kept it under wraps and this guy was doing this and he escaped LA because they were after him was right around the time when Waco went down and the cult awareness network was like going after cults and so they escaped he changes his name again his name was Jaime Gomez he changed his name to Michel and then he changed it again to Andreas that's when he moved to Austin and he built this place called the one -world theater and this is the place I bought so all these poor lost kids they built this place for him they were his disciples they didn't have contractors the the the the cult members built the place on the hip and the toes on the hip well I don't think that was under hypnosis but what he would do is he'd give them therapy every week he charged them money charged him 50 bucks for therapy and then he fuck them this guy you should watch the document the documentary is wild because yeah because like we were talking about cult and the beginning here's the thing in the beginning it was working the beginning to look like fun because I think in the beginning he was young and hot he's a beautiful man especially when he was young and he had this crazy body six pack that's when he's getting older but when he was young he was when he was a gay porn star he was a beautiful man and I think he probably got plenty of dick already he didn't have to fuck his disciples and he just had these people that were like washing his feet and he was teaching him yoga and telling them that they're all God energy and everyone's God and I'm God and he even got so far with the hypnosis that he convinced these people that he could give them the enlightenment he could give the good touch them I think was he called it the knowing and it would be like this big thing you had to earn the knowing but when he gave it to these people just the power of suggestion these people like they were having these like ecstatic psychedelic experiences like they encountered God and it lasted for days and these are people talking about this after they left the cult after they knew he was a con man after they knew that he'd just been hypnotized people and fucking him and he was just full of shit and getting plastic surgery and all kinds of wild shit even though they had gone through all that they still went back and talked about when he would do that to them early in their life and that they really did like experience God they was on sure on that I don't think they were I think it's the power of suggestion because I've seen it at have you ever seen a comedy hypnotist yes they can do some wild shit to people that's a comedy hypnotist in front of an audience if you're a real hypnotist like this guy was and then nobody know it yeah doing and you you're trained in hypnotherapy and you you you know how to get people to think and if you've learned how to get people to think that there's this thing that you have and you can give it to them and you hold it over their head for a long fucking time until you actually do give it to them and when you do give it to them they believe it wholeheartedly so they actually experience it because your brain can produce all kinds of wild chemicals your brain can produce legitimate psychedelic chemicals like full on tripping chemicals yeah so if this guy can convince you that that's happening your brain probably does dump all those chemicals out because you think it's actually happening that's crazy crazy so he's kind of telling the truth which is the most fucked up thing he's kind of giving you this experience and it is a real experience but the whole thing goes off the rails because of the rails and eventually he has they actually fly him to Hawaii to get rid of the damn they can't get rid of this guy but why and why he can't be arrested for the connoisseurs that he doing see the thing is if you're gonna arrest him like those people are there because they're willing to be there they want to be there they're believing them 20 people went with him to Hawaii but when the call broke up a bunch of them flew to Hawaii with them and he started a whole new cult over there and he's old by then now he's old new looks like shit when he was young and he was like this beautiful guy who's convincing everybody you are love we all love they're like yeah we don't have to go to regular work we grow our own food yeah this is why I don't believe in I don't believe in cults things like that and I'm like I believe they happen I just don't believe the person who's standing just like I don't believe in anybody who's trying to tell me how to get rich quick yeah because like why would you tell me like you're not that damn gracious where you like oh I'm a billionaire I want to make you a billionaire too come on man get the get rich quick scheme that they don't want you to know about that's always what it is they don't want you to know man and any type of any type of group thing like something comes around all at once and everybody's doing it anytime I see some a regular ass person doing something like you know man you can you can invest in it let me get the man get out of here man it's your regular ass out of here it's been like I'm not and you have to for me to believe in you and something you definitely have to look a certain type of way I'm just I'm just not in prep even if you even if you look homeless it's it's still a way to look rich at the same time Bert Christensen show me that I did Bert's podcast and he came to my office at Tampa and he came to my room with like no shirt on flip flops nails he didn't even have on shoes and and his and his toe nails was painted and he coming with all his equipment and he walks in my room the first thing he said can I use a restroom I said yeah go ahead it's right there and then he comes out of the restroom he's wiping his hands I'll let you know the respect were you raised by a single mother I said yeah why cuz your room is amazing I've been in my room for four hours I've been squatting for two months and he does he does we do the podcast and then he's walking out and I'm thinking because he don't have one she was no shirt he's clearly in his nice Toyota Camry right here and I'm walking towards his camera and I look back and he's like is that your rental car I'm like no I was walking about that this is your car he's in his huge like pearl bands like it's a beautiful car it's just the beautiful bands and he's like he's putting the the podcast equipment in the back and he's just like slam the door like okay see you later then it drives off with no shoes on like that is a rich as homeless yeah bird is bird birds leaning more into being bird now that is money like you think he was like more conservative when he didn't have money he looked like he was more wealthy when he had no money you know he looked respectable look normal now if you're not looking at his watch you look at him like who the fuck is this dude with a Rolex
1:58:38Rolex is going down that's a skydweller what the fuck yeah look how that is for me yeah I look good the machine yeah bird I called bird up once he was on a motorcycle in Vietnam I called him up I was in the comedy store in the the the back green room area and I was about to go on stage soon it just felt like calling him I don't know where and he answers the phone I go where are you he goes I'm on a motorcycle in Vietnam this is amazing and I go what are you doing you there for your travel channel show he goes yeah I go do you gotta quit that show I go you're too funny you're too good you're you're you're a funny comedian you should be making money doing stand -up comedy not doing that show man I know it's a velvet prison you gotta quit that fucking show I would love to travel show it's too many too many months he was gone for like three four months at a time when his kids were young yeah it's like not good it's it's also it's like it was limiting him it was a great opportunity initially but then it was limiting him like Burke you could with just podcast and stand -up comedy you're gonna be fucking huge like you don't need to be saddled into this organization because they're also gonna they're gonna be upset if you talk about certain things travel channels a very conservative channel at one point in time I don't know how they are now like but I know Anthony Bourdain had a problem with them as well of a similar similar situation it's like Burke you're you're you're fucking bent against yourself if I find a great producer I'm probably gonna do a podcast you should do a podcast it's just you don't need a great producer man oh well I need a producer because me coming in sitting up camera I can so don't do it on camera at first nobody can do all this just do it audio at first do it audio at first real simple get an audio recorder get one of those little fucking one of those rones what are those things called what are those things called Jamie yeah there's a bunch of they make they set them up now they they have like pre -made podcast setups that you can buy that's how popular podcasts are you don't need any bullshit you got a mic like this these are shores these are the my favorite ones we've been using these forever you put it on a fucking stand it plugs into that thing you press record and you do a podcast you got an audio file you uploaded to iTunes it's free and then boom it's up there you let everybody know it's up there people start downloading it at least what is the percentage of the amount of people that just listened to us what would you say it is I think it's over half still yeah it's a majority still just listen most people just listen so that's this and this is you know a giant podcast when you first start out people like to listen to podcasts when they're driving they like to listen to podcasts at the gym when they're going on vacation you want to plane you're six hours easy just chill out you got a couple of podcasts before you know what six hours is gone just do that yeah and then it's easy it's easy you're already great out of you're great right here you're great at it just do it simple yeah 100 percent do me a little podcast before you know it it'll be huge my friend Cameron Haynes who was just here the other day same thing I talked him into doing it forever I'm like you're great you could be great at this and then you don't have a boss now he's killing it yeah same thing with Bert and all those guys Tom Seger I talked to him into doing it I talked already into doing it I talked to all those guys that are doing podcasts so you can have a great success where I know I know when someone can do it yeah so that's that's my thing and putting these specials out that's the other niche of it but that's another the way you're doing it is podcast style in a way because you're doing it yourself now and doing it yourself and putting it up on YouTube is the way to do it rather than going through some big corporation some Netflix or HBO or whatever it is like you're almost betting against yourself at this point because the numbers that you get when you put it up where everybody can get it anytime they want and then someone can say oh my god have you seen this and then they get share it and they send it to you oh my god this dude's hilarious and they send it to and then people just start sharing it they share it on social media they share it in text messages boom boom boom yeah you don't need anybody anymore and podcast just add to it just add to it and it's easy it's fun it's fun to do have a friend come over have a drink have a have a smoke a joint start talking shit laughing your ass off that's basically that's basically what it is that's what it is having a having a great time yeah it's it's um it's amazing it's amazing the amount of power in sitting up talking it's it's it's amazing well i think uh one of the things that's happening to people when they're stuck in an office all day or stuck working all day is they're not getting to have long conversations about things they really think about and uh if you are in a situation where you can listen to people have those conversations it's the next best thing and sometimes you can listen to those people have conversations with people that you're never going to get to meet you know oh that's good yeah that's that's the thing you know i think that it's a if you have great guess or you have great opinions or great thoughts that you can podcast some people's some people ask you to do they podcast you like man who the hell yeah what the hell are y 'all even over that talking about stuff everybody but it's you yeah that's let's say about a lot of it but that's most things most things that i like are not for everybody you know that's comedy yeah i remember the the only time i've ever not wanted somebody to be good ever was at the comedy the comedy stop the the last stop in Houston in Houston that was the only time i ever wanted somebody not to be good why is that i was i came there you had to get on the list when i was thought you had to come in and get on the list yeah so i'm there and it's Monday and i saw it up and i was like 26 on the list man 26 and the guy in front of me was like yeah man i've been doing this 20 years and i was like oh shit he is 25 on the list and he said he's been doing it 20 years and i'm thinking y 'all i know a lot of comics man i've studied this game a lot never oh i hope he's not funny because if he is i got a long ass way to go out for a month in he's 20 years in he goes on stage and he was fucking horrible and i was like yes like no wonder you should now do you really have open mic night open mic night like because i pop in every blue moon in an open mic and when you're going there you see the same people in there you like what the freak is going on yeah what is going on could do do people not okay like you know what it's like it's like if you are in a boxing gym and this dude's been KOed the last 16 times he's barred you got to go mic you can't you can't do this anymore you can't do this anymore this is bad for you this is bad for you not bro you know i'm working on my head movement let me in there do you turn on lever look at that mainstream boxing gym it's got to come in there and you just in there you die man what do you do he's a man he get beat up professionally like like a man like he he's never want to fight like he's every fight he's ever been he has been out of there and then in the in the smart but he's a smart partner yeah and in there just taking it and then he'll take fights where he knows he's supposed to lose there's a lot of those guys out there in the early days of fighters development they will you know that's one thing the boxing has over mma they'll just kind of almost be setups where you know this guy's like 20 and you know or 20 losses and like two wins you know there's this guy's like that they're out there but legitimately they have the craziest records you've ever seen and they're licensed and they'll go in they'll fight some young arterial goddy looking dude oh my god light him up oh you're going like them to win them to win it's like hey man you fucking know you're supposed to lose right yeah I was I was just in there I was trying the guy is so bad he ran into my job yeah like I don't like yeah you're like that's terrible yeah you just two and 25 you're like say man how you winning two fights man you I would be pissed have you ever seen a fixed fight
2:07:55not knowingly not knowing while you're watching it not knowing and I'm like in the middle of like minutes you fucking fix there was some fixed fights in the early days in Japan in mma there was some fixed fights Japan was it was real weird because you had real fights for sure and then you had some fights where like the hero wins the local hero wins you know how did he get him and now heel hook how the why is it tapping like that why is it so dramatic it was like this is wrestling this is like there's there was some weird moments and there was a there was a boxing match I remember this one there was some really I believe it was in remember the guy who had a bunch of weird surgery he had like muscle implants and he he boxed this guy and it was so clear that the guy took a dive it was like the worst acting of all time who is the guy that the ball hit big white guy that Tyson fought when he got out of prison oh he wasn't ball Peter McNeely Peter McNeely was the white guy oh you mean friends both uh or uh Andrew Galata was it Andrew Galata are you talking about the Polish guy he had on some American shorts uh he had on some shorts with some color on him I can't remember not not that guy that had on the green if it's Peter McNeely Peter McNeely is the guy fought right out of jail that's when Tyson has six pack I'm not here because that dude had on green shorts so this is the guy so the guy on the left is he like some rich guy or something but look at him he's some rich guy and he's got fake muscles yeah he got an implant I can see it out there yeah but it's it's wild look his shoulders are fake everything's fake it's weird and so it's like this is the clearest like fixed fight you're ever gonna see look at this I mean come on how fake does that look that looks so fake that looks so fake what does happen he hit him with a left foot I know but watch again let's watch to get look at this guy holding his hands up and watch watch get this oh he like literally shows him his chin and this goes like when he goes down yeah it's so fake watch I mean it's guys a terrible act crazy terrible actor right until he moves forward and then muscles over here is going to move in for the kill with his zero skills look at this look at he's got nothing it's like a guy who just learned boxing yesterday and he's holding fake boobs it's crazy like this is one of the weirdest videos I think on the internet he wants to be a billion trillion now I don't know but he's got to be an insane person like he's definitely insane with these fake muscles this but also that the fact that he wants people to think that he had a boxing match and that he won I mean this is crazy I can't even fake go down he's like and then the referee waves it off that's it what I conquer I mean this is a crazy video it's fixed boxing fight you could find it on on you oh man it's fucking yeah look at this guy that's a crazy person look at this guy he's insane yeah that's it that is a weird thing to do to be a man and get a back in place that's so crazy man do you understand I don't I think people don't think that these people have problems they just think that they just they just they just want to enhance their body everybody wants to enhance okay that's crazy this is just this is me stuffing some shoulder pads on the my skin and it's like you see the one guy has like the most of it he's like a human Ken doll yeah what's that dude name I don't know where he's the weird dude oh my god he's got everything he got captain plants and bicep and plants man what is wrong and then his neck all skinny like it's crazy it looks so weird oh man but it's one of those things oh boy yeah it's one of those things like anorexia they they they they can't see how other people see it they have body dysmorphia that show a photo of his body because he's got all these implants all over the place I guess crazy town all of his like quads is quad implants and calf implants and he's addicted to the surface yeah and look his shoulders I mean it's it's kind of nuts but then the neck is all feeling and yeah look at his neck I guess crazy town yeah two different people are not the same I don't know that that one looks even scarier click on that one that's different person click on that different person what is that oh my god that one yeah click Jesus Christ man oh my god that is wild that is wild man oh my god that's so crazy that that's a real person and I know more people I know a lot of people just hey just want to take the picture which is feed into yeah the craziness well yeah because it gets you more attention right he says he's sinking after 11 nose jobs all that's the other thing they all get addicted to it so they keep going like Michael Jackson oh man yeah like we were talking about the other day like Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon that dude did never advertised kept just kept going you just kept going oh my god oh my god and then he became Barbie yeah oh my god oh Jesus Christ everyone's insane and that's what he used to look like with the pants I would assume so should I say she that's what she used to look like what a wild world we live in man what a wild world wait until people could change gender with like gene therapy wait till they could do that people could be bouncing back and forth you know how many times you've been a woman while I was a woman for two years then I didn't like it went back to being a man and decided to be a really big man for a while but my joints hurt so then I became a little man see what it's like to get picked on then I went to back be being a woman yeah I mean we're gonna be able to like bounce back and forth I think so I think not not us but I think future generations yeah I think they're going to be able to manipulate biology in some very like like flexible way I really do I hope that yeah they're already fucking around with with gene splicing with humans and animals they're doing all kinds they're doing why you old shit and this is what we know they're doing yeah good who knows what they're doing in other countries where we don't have a fucking eyes on the lab you know because this is why I believe in Bigfoot I don't think because Bigfoot is some science project they got out that it's crazy and they know it they know it's exist they know it's on the on the level they know it's just crazy I think Bigfoot used to exist I think it's an absolutely used to I don't think so you don't think it's a new one out there no it's some grizzly bag sheep that's you know why you know why I really don't think it because the people that I know that are like real hunters that go deep deep deep into the backcountry for weeks at a time real dudes dudes are in Alaska guys are in the mountains of Montana guys are in the Pacific Northwest and the rain for us up there those dudes never say shit they never seen shit everybody just sees bears you see bears and I think if you're a person it's not around wildlife a lot you see a bear walking on two legs in the deep forest especially it's dark out you think you saw fucking Bigfoot for sure but at one point in time it was a real thing yeah it's called you know that story yeah it's a I knew the real ass Bigfoot yeah so Gigantopithecus this is the thing with these scientific experiments do you remember it was a wild bag I think we talked about it or I talked about it somewhere where these orangutans got out of a nuclear lab in San Antonio a biometrical lab in San Antonio you can look this you know now it's no telling but they did to them orangutans while they was in there but they were smart enough to get the fuck out so it's nowhere did they go they were just they were just out loose did they catch them I think so but imagine one got away just just hide now they don't even know what what they came in contact with so it was a it was a it was a biomedical lab they do I didn't know they do experiments on chimpanzees that's that fucking it's like I got I almost have like I have a lot of sympathy towards any animal brain baboons escape from Texas biolab using their captors own barrels yeah baboons using just a 55 gallon barrel the three baboons liberated themselves that confines the biomedical research facility this weekend for about a half an hour before they were captured and returned to incarceration incarceration is a fucked up word you know for baboons they never did anything wrong that's fucked baboons are freaky they're different in orangutans baboons freak me out they use because they got like almost like a wolf mouth you know it's like a monkey with a wolf mouth but on Saturday one baboon learned to put a barrel upright and use it to get to the top of the wall then the three other baboons monkey saw and monkey did and so they just hopped over and the four baboons scaled the wall but one returned on its own volition inch that's a bitch he told on everybody this motherfucker's got out remaining three were apprehended by members of the animal care and animal capture team which wore protective suits and masks san Antonio news outlet ks a t reported that witnesses were concerned that the baboons were carrying infectious disease a news release from tbr i stated the baboons were infected what does that mean we're infected infected what what do you do it over there what the fuck are you days later outbreak and when i when the story happened i um i said man y 'all don't realize that the end of the world i was just i think that that's the start of every zombie apocalypse movie i've never heard of well you know what's fucked up there is a real zombie virus that everyone is aware of that's it's called rabies yes rabies rabies rabies is a zombie virus for animals i mean they're not dead but they might as well be they're trying to get to you and bite you they're trying to literally that their brain is hijacked they're so aggressive they're trying to bite you to infect you with the rabies so the rabies has convinced these animals the baboons hop offence the reefers are also here's got to chase it up they're running chasing after the baboons hey bro get back here how what if that baboon just turned around and just fuck them up that dude does not look like he's wearing a suit he looks regular yeah those are just guys on the street there's just kids these kids are out of fucking mind bro these kids are getting close oh my god these are just dorks where is this it was in wherever it happened outside of San Antonio oh my god that's Texas people very close to here these wild dorks chasing after a baboon that thing will fuck you up like fuck you up these are clearly people who have never seen a possum yeah they used to stand in the zoo because she used to see them in the fucking zoo a baboon is is wave vicious but a possum oh my good dying protection COVID masks on they're not even the good COVID masks on those are the ones are those gloves are gonna do jack shit what are you gonna do with those gloves what the fuck are you gonna do unless that thing just is used to people handling it what good luck good luck you can't even pick up a feral cat you try picking up a feral cat how the fuck do you think you can handle a 50 pound baboon bitch there's a a fan oh man that's way more than 50 but they they bought 80 pounds the big males then how much is a normal baboon way like I would say they're like 50 60 pounds because mark they look to me like a Belgian Malmoss my my cane also is a big dog that's a big dog that's what you got 120 pound dogs yeah 140 140 pounds I had a massive that was that big and Regency master who's 140 pounds you know how he's lost like seven pounds that okay 88 pounds for a big one wow wow oh my god what is this one oh it's a specific kind the kids that big there's a psychologist named Robert Sapolsky he's a psychologist right is that what his profession is who he studied baboons and a fascinating thing happened with this troop of baboons they were dominated by the alpha males and the alpha males always got first access to the food neuroendocrinology researcher in author professor biology the alpha males always had access to the food first well they were getting food from a dumpster that this resort was using and the alpha males had access to it first and it was one one of the dumpsters was filled with bad food tainted food and these baboons ate it and died so the ones that ate it first were the ones who had access to it and they died and the alphas were all dead so when the alphas were all dead and the absence of the alphas being dead the bait is never assumed an alpha position they just got along with each other and it lasted for like I think quite a while it lasted for years I believe until probably they went back to their normal way of behaving but for a long time they behaved in a way where there was like there was no brutish because like in those packs of baboons they're fucking horrible to each other maybe they didn't think they were they were waiting on them to come back they was like hey don't nobody do nothing because you know they gonna come back and beat us right don't pretend you're the boss and then somebody came and said I don't think they come back and then they started with the boys
2:22:19so when the top -breaking ranking males died off in the mid -1980s aggression by the new top baboons dropped dramatically with most aggression occurring between baboons of similar rank and little bit directed towards lower status males and none at all directed females troop members also spent a large percentage of time grooming sat closer closer together that in the past and hormonal samples indicated that the lowest status males experienced less stress than underlings in other baboon troops more interestingly these effects persisted at least through the late 90s so wow it was more than 10 years well after the original kinder males had died off not only that when the adolescent males who grew up in other troops joined the garbage dump troop they too engage in less aggressive behavior than in other baboon troops as Sapolsky put it we don't understand the mechanism of transmission but the jerky new guys are obviously learning we don't do things like that around here so at least by baboon standards the garbage dump troop developed and enforced what I would call a no -asshole rule is that amazing oh this is this is prison oh yeah because you can come in see I see what happened now the other guys like no you see what happened to the mom mom getting up in the dumps done shit we gonna we're not gonna go that route it says so that that's basically what happened they they they saw they man these other guys going dead we don't and then you see they say that the other guys who were were um less stress they they was they was getting their ass off their fur they're getting slapped around they're getting slapped around so when the kinder males like and then look they just have a peaceful situation we ain't got to do all that man you can come talk to me I'm not slapping I'm not slapping nobody when when you on a what we call a Cadillac tank that's what a Cadillac tank is well you come over there and everybody come and lay it down to it look man we don't we ain't wouldn't know that bullshit over here man all that whatever you're gonna do all that stealing or whatever you have you got moved over here it's Cadillac over here they let you know it's it's you don't know none of that wow shit over you don't lose your TV you only lose your coffee pot you want to be locked down you're gonna be none of that shit you a man you need some come tell somebody you gotta steal nothing you know yeah it's a colleague it's a convict tank basically you know where people understand how to do they time you want to do your time let's stressful I don't think people would appreciate like the average person thinks about a jail they don't think of that I think they probably wouldn't they probably wouldn't imagine that that would be the case but that makes sense you know what's weird about jail I don't understand why jail is so brutal when you're not in when you're not found guilty yet right because when I went to jail I'm gonna talk about it in the special but when I went my whole thought was how to get out you don't even eat for the first four days you're saying you don't eat nothing like they be bringing food and then you know I mean y 'all gonna end this shit because you thinking I'm getting out so I'm not I'm not I'm not actually being myself the prison food I'm not even eating all this shit none this jail food right and then after like four days you don't get out then you like well amen let me get my juice y 'all gonna have the rest of this shit they said like day number seven you like now you eat your all your food because you know you like getting out just yet but you still going to court I wouldn't be thinking about doing nothing wild because I'm still trying to fight my case and I don't think most people don't even think like that they get I don't know what they be thinking but it be some wild shit on a brain especially when they therefore a long period of time like right I've been in here a year fighting this murder case okay but are you guilty like so why are you acting like you guilty you in here doing all the rest of this nonsense I think it's it's a stigma that comes along with prison that people try to act out when they go there so but I've been in other jails where it's not like that it's like a man we say man I'm in here trying trying to get out and I was done on traffic tickets but it was still like even if you go to you go to Harris County on a traffic ticket it's like you're in full fledged like why am I even around anybody who could you what would you mean if a capital murder why am I even in here with you and I'm in here on traffic tickets like we don't we're not gonna run into each other right and it's crazy like you not even supposed to run into those people until you go to prison because jail in prison I was actually supposed to be different now I understand you getting a you don't want to be in either place but I don't understand I don't understand the animalistic behavior that jumps off as soon as you get locked up and it's and it's only with a certain ethnic group do you think they think they have to do it that way because they've been told that that's what it's like when you get in that's the stigma that comes in but I even though I was somewhere that I knew that was bad I didn't go into it with the I'm finna be bad too no man I'm already if somebody tried me then I'm gonna defend myself but other than that I'm not going there trying to bother nobody but see that's the whole thing I've never started a fight though too I had to remember that by myself I've never started a fight even though I can fight and I can fight well I just never started one but if you start one with me then you'll figure out like oh shit he can actually fight yeah I just don't start them and I think most people that can fight don't start them because it because it becomes a I'm not the same person yeah in combat that I am as normal like this it is different with me as and I'm I'm locked in the scary thing is people who can fight who like to fight who do go looking for fights and those are real too oh those are real too so it does just don't fight it's the dumbest thing to do especially you want to fight learn how to fight go to a gym you can get plenty of fighting in the gym you don't even have to have a fight what's most sparring matches are basically fights yes and and you did I didn't tell you but people know I tell you when I when I spawn with Todd manual I don't know man Todd manual beat the shit out of me like and I was fucking with him like I came in and fucking with him like he just fought Victor a tease like that and I just walked in fucking with him then I just got in the ring with him like what's up Todd shit and being there talking shit Todd Todd Todd I'm thinking to my ass too like but people know I can fight but Todd was on one Todd took it to my ass and then and it was that first two body shots that I was just and I was fucking with him and I was like oh shit yeah there's good and then there's professional good right and then there's high level professional good yeah high level professional good it's fucking scary if it's boxing yeah like like god he just found that out about for like that shit is different like you can say a lot about Floyd but stand with once them gloves get on and you across from oh that's just different he's still very very fast very fast and it should hurt oh yeah yeah of course like even to be playing it should hurt yeah I mean he fought Logan Paul Logan Paul weighs 200 plus pounds and he turned the shit out Logan Paul Nick like and I think he held him up like hey man don't fall because you'll miss the money up I think he's just too big I think Logan was just too big if they were the same size I think Floyd would have knocked him out but Logan was so big oh it was so much bigger than it's shots though it's so crazy to see a guy who is the best boxer of all time having a fight with this super athletic gigantic youtube kid I mean look at the size difference it's insane yeah it's insane it was like when he when he when he was like when he wrestled with oh show with oh yeah yeah yeah pro wrestling yeah that's at least that's the actual right he turns an actual fight he actually makes yeah even when he when he when he fought um look at the big show when he fought connello yeah when he fought connello connello is a big ass too yeah canelo is a big ass too but he he was very smart with that canelo fight he made canelo drop down to like 152 I think that's what the weight limit was canelo you know I really had to drain himself to get down there and also like you watch canelo before Floyd and after Floyd and you just go oh he learned he his head movement is superb now canelo gets in there this this fights of his where you see his head movement you're like oh my god I just saw his last fight connello and he and he big yeah he's a big fellow well he you know he's doing 175 now when he knocked out Kovalo yeah so he got real small for that fight you know Floyd smart man look same in many Pacquiao he waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until after Marquez knocked out man he's like okay I think fight now I think that was mostly promoters these promoters just be brutal they just and then and then everybody blame the fight oh you didn't want to fight it no they couldn't get the shit together the most disappointing one to me is Tyson Fury and Usik I was really looking forward to that fight that was an interesting one to me because Tyson Fury is the biggest in the division he's got insane skills he's fucking huge he's six foot nine he's arguably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever and Usik is this phenom of technique and footwork and movement but how is he gonna fuck with that six foot nine guy how's he gonna fuck with that jab I mean God can you can you can get close to him he's so much bigger than I mean it's a fascinating fight and they fucked up even gave him 70 30 he gave the Tyson's he wanted 70 30 which you know it makes kind of sense he's the big star yeah Usik even said yes and they still couldn't get the deal done still couldn't get I don't know what the fuck happened I know this Crawford in aerospace is going to be that God they got that done now but because I was I was worried that they were gonna wait until Terrence was older you know because it's like if it happens two years from now it's he's what does he 36 now yeah yeah that's a fucking good fight Regis Regis um Ruger Luke is coming up um Terrence Crawford is the slickest switch hitter since Marvin Haggle yeah yeah it is it's gonna be a problem this is a hell of a fight 28 and over says 39 and oh that is wild and I think that oh what you predicting that fight I would never predict a fight like this because a fight like this to me is on let's see let's see yeah it's definitely a let's see that's a let's see because they're both at the top of the top in boxing today the pinnacle but it is but it's I both of them had a strength this is one of them let's see just I didn't think Ryan I didn't think tank and Ryan was just gonna be the select fight I just didn't I just thought tank was just too much yeah I thought he was gonna be too much too it's just he has too many too many tools and his style is so weird his style so weird he's so conservative in the beginning he's not throwing hardly any punches but the fucking threat of danger always lose it's terrified that's the that's the problem with him it's like you can be doing all that he just you like he's like oh my god of you hit me with any shit like you still throwing very tense it's like hey if I throw the jab it I need to get this shit right back like I need this shit do you understand how fat I need to get this jab back to my goddamn face I need to I don't think and people won't even throw it all the way out there because they need to get like I can't give because he's already up under you yeah and that's the problem that you see that he's up under you you like oh shit if I throw any goddamn thing yeah he gonna turn he gonna blow my shit up like coming straight from the floor it with crazy speed it's it's like it's like Tyson yeah it's more like people don't really like this shit it's like a small Tyson yeah coming cuz Tyson was so leveled up under him like soon as you throw anything out there like if I throw my jab out there I gotta have my knees bent and then she gotta I need my elbow to guard my goddamn breath basket my liver my kidney all this because ah it's just bad it's bad news it's just bad news terrifying the consequences of any mistake are so big the consequences pull up a Javonte Davis high let's watch my highlights tell your highlights as soon as you open any of that shit up he is how many fights to see even have that have gone decision oh man it's only a couple yeah and it's one when he broke his hand it was one fight where he wanted decision where he broke his hand that might be the only one that went to a decision damn shame the only guy who I think has a higher knockout ratio that's a champion is Arthur better beef that's the light heavyweight guy two so he's got one in 2014 uh -huh and then one yeah up here Isaac Cruz 27 and oh and all of them except two are by knockout or excuse me 29 and oh and all of them except two are by knockout 27 knockouts look at that like look at that shit that shit that shit oh my god and it's skillful right up on the right up on the yo shit that fucking I'm right here I'm right here and soon as you throw some out there that I think is okay uh -huh you better go oh look at that right hook man right on the temple it's just he hits people different don't boom right over right oh my god the speed and the accuracy it's the power and it's also the technique it's like everything is there it's not like he's just a slugger he's like he's a scientist he's like dissecting in there he's downloading data and then applying it and moving on you in a way you never had anybody move on you before well you can't look at that body shot oh my god he will not let you breathe wish that oh you throw yours and I'm gonna throw mine oh I'm already up on to you and when you look at him I mean he looks super athletic and fit but it doesn't look any different than a normal super athletic fit guy you know what I'm saying like you like it's not yeah it's not his it's not like some weirdness about his body that you see like if you see like YoL Romero he's so ridiculously huge when he knocks people out it kind of makes sense but Jervante looks like a regular guy but he hits like a fucking Mac truck that is the roll you fight look at this it's crazy I mean look at that left hand play that again because that was crazy boom I mean it's picture perfect he's coming in and he catches some coming in with a perfect left hand look at this boom you don't even I mean some dudes from a shot like that they're never the same guy he ain't the same yeah that shoe that shoe is leaning boom I mean uh incredible look at this shot yeah he's so dangerous man he's so dangerous it's like that body shot is what said all that up that because he is just one those what's the guy that went to his corner he's like man I can't see the guy before Ryan the guy went to his corner after after the round is like I can't see I don't know what which guy it was I don't think it's him but either way I mean this is how hard this kid hits it's insane they he's not like some crazy situation where the judge sent him to jail because he was under house arrest yeah but they put him in house arrest in a house and it was too small for his security details his family and his kids and so he got a sweep at the four seasons and his house got robbed apparently and his house got robbed while he's in prison yeah that's insane insane he's so fucking talented there's so many fights for him now after the Devon Haney uh Lomachenko fight and Shakur Stevenson like that division it's just stacked what you think about that Lomachenko fight I didn't agree with it it's close though if you go back and watch it it's a close fight but I think Lomachenko edged him I think Lomachenko should have got the decision he was pushing it he he definitely had more significant moments but Haney did land some very good body shots very he and showed his heart because he got pushed further than anybody's ever pushed him before he's looking at what he did the Cambosis two fights in a row I mean he he boxed Cambosis his face off I had to go back yeah this guy Hector Lewis Garcia that guy yeah he's like I can't see because I didn't know where else that's how hard he is it's crazy I had to go back and Haney Lomachenko fight to go to because I saw I started watching in five in the fifth so I had to go back and see was it what what type of damage did he do in the first four and I say well I guess they're just going on these body shots because Lomachenko from round seven to the end I thought that he was he was winning this fight like yeah when I watched it without the sound I thought that he that clearly nine eight nine and ten were clear Lomachenko rounds for me eight nine and ten and then eleven and twelve it was a toss up because of the vicious body shots but he did land some good let's what are those body shots worth if you if you look at like a Jervante Davis body shot knockout blow it's obviously worth a lot but people tend to think that hitting someone in the face is generally scores more than hitting someone in the body I don't know if that's fair it's it was a very very good fight you the good fight the problem would have fight like that is when the decision comes and most people don't agree with it it kind of like taints the effort you know it's like everybody like looks at Haney like he did something wrong and he fought an amazing fight against a guy who's a ghost Lomachenko's a ghost yeah I mean what he does in there is wild shit and he's a hard hitting and he pushed and he pushed the fight to make the fight push the fight yeah he definitely pushed the fight and he definitely did some wild shit but he definitely got hit with some hard body shots it was a good fight a very very good fight but I think the fact that he was trying to absorb the body shots with coming off his feet yeah and it did and it just don't look good it looks like somebody knocking you off your feet right instead of you you're jumping with it yeah you jumping with it trying to take the impact on and it should still hitting you and if he were to stay down I think it wouldn't look this bad but shit if you were to stay down would you have went down right you he's doing the right thing you got to you got to go with those shots especially Devon Haney Devon Haney's a big lightweight he's big he's big and he hits very hard he's so skillful his jab is top notch when in the Cumbosus fight I was Cumbosus is good man what he did to Tio Fimo when he dropped him in the first round I was like whoa he's fast Haney jab just crazy it looked crazy but he also like technically looks so good everything he did was so good everything he did was he's so well -schooled you know yeah he is that's it that was yeah that's good that that Long Chico I was I just want to see them fight well I think Crawford is going to that is a big one I think Crawford is going to pull it out well it's going to be interesting to see um you know I would never I that to me that is who the fuck knows I'm excited to see it Earl Spence is a bad man he's a bad man he hits hard he's I think he's underrated by a lot of people for some reason but that's another level but this is the highest level both of them have experienced I think like who I mean who do you think out of people that bud is beaten beaten everybody's fought but who do you think is on the level of Earl arguably this is the best fighter he's faced I think this is the best fighter I think this is the best fighter and there's no disrespect to any of the other fighters but I think right now Earl is like he's in that state that Sugar Ray Leonard in his prime stage you know there's a stage where a fighter is so elite that you're like I can't wait to see what happens when he fights with a brother Durand I can't wait you know there's this level where you're like how good is he I just saw Sugar Ray and his benefit for diabetes out and Sugar Ray looks fit he works out on Instagram Sugar Ray looks like he ready right now like you see his workouts he puts workouts up on Instagram and you know when you run into a fighter and you don't realize how small they are in certain fighters and these other ones you don't realize how big they are I ran into Sugar Shane Mosin at the same benefit and he and he's smaller than me but he's rocked up like up on this sweater with so many knots it's like a pillowcase full of shoes like you just all these rocks I'm a man Sugar Shane you good for you what's up brother you good I'm like good Lord it's a strong man like why right now and then Benar Hopkins was there in the suit real tailored I said hey champ how you doing hands was just stone y 'all good brother but talking soft just hey brother you good but Sugar Ray man Sugar Ray it's Sugar Ray still working out and he's look at him it's all that hurt it's like this it's like at um Midtown at Main Street boxing gym right it's this man he is 79 and he comes every day he cleans up in the gym he and try it try it think that you're gonna get a win off of him hey man this box round this is gonna be the worst day of your whole entire life I don't know I don't know who he used to fight what he could throw to that bell girl then it is a problem like hey man you know I just mean you just talk like we friends this shit is bad really yes wow and it's man it is a melee did you see George Foreman hitting the heavy bag at 74 oh my god did you see that yes I saw it on it's on it's fine it is it is insane insane and then Mike Tyson working out yeah oh my God oh it's like man is does his trainer this is not look like he's killing him yes like this is like his trainer is half alecordero he's a legendary MMA trainer he runs King's MMA in California yeah half alecordero is the man it's like them blows are coming so yeah and he's wearing a body suit to eat those body shots uh fuck that and then also you got that just knowing Mike Tyson has boxing gloves and he's in front of you and you somehow know that you're gonna fucking ring with him and he's moving towards you like what does that feel like but check this out look at George and that's the big one yeah give me some volume on this because we got we got to hear this here yes what happened in the volume oh we got to hear it oh you got to hear it or this doesn't mean anything let's fix that you got to let's fix it whatever it is and that's that if I'm quite sure you have been on the biggest bag in the gym yeah and big ass bag that shit don't move like you in the bag now I'm moving Jamie what's going on can we try it just it's not even getting to my computer I'm trying to figure out why okay he knocked it out but it did before oh oh so there's something wrong with the connection to the community there it is here it is okay back it up back it up so you can see it get on my dad still got it here it is
2:48:26it sounds acted out
2:48:39look at this look at this left
2:48:47dude and that's one of the things that George Foreman used to practice go to George young George Foreman hitting the heavy bag George Foreman like he would hit the heavy bag different than a lot of people would one of the things that he would do is he always just practice wallup in the heavy bag just stand in front of it full blast wing in punches not like setting things up moving around no no no no all right we're back see if you can find young George Foreman hitting the heavy bag why do he have his his face on that bag George coming around the other dudes because he's never had George Foreman hit the heavy bag with this before crazy it's hard to hold the heavy bag without doing that though like yeah here it is look at this
2:49:36so he this is what he did a lot of this the volume's dead again there it goes I got it now look at this but who hits the heavy bag like this he's just winging punches he got him hanging out the way yeah look at the dance
2:50:04yeah I mean even the way he does it he's just throwing power shot after power shot and that's just a breaking yeah I mean and I've really been in that much of the knees that's what's crazy the kind of power this dude had look at this I mean this is ferocious ferocious when he gets his legs into it my god this thing Ali was taking it took it all took it all dodge I want you to pull up George Foreman knocks out Joe Frazier oh it was it was crazy I thought I thought Frazier was gonna die he knocked him off his feet that was a crazy one because that was when Joe Frazier just beat Muhammad Ali yeah and then you see what Foreman does to Frazier and everybody thought that Foreman was gonna crush Ali and they were scared because it was like this is a real it's like this is the first super heavyweight it's time yeah so this is this is the second round so this is when he's already hurt I believe I don't remember how many rounds it was how this you're gonna replay this so this was like he had heard him the round before yeah here it is crazy the power even the way he's boxing he boxes the way he hit the bag look yeah it's just the power is so extraordinary that if he catches you at all he thumps you with that jab and then just swings at you and he hits you oh look at that uppercut oh my god look at that right hand oh my god oh my god look at that uppercut oh my god oh my god oh my god he doesn't know where he is so the round ends he doesn't know where he is now the round is about to end to knock down the first round of Joe Frazier down again no saving by the bell so he gets up and he goes back to his corner now this is what's amazing that they didn't stop this fight they didn't that's amazing that his corner didn't say that's it that's it champ that's it champ no because he's the warrior but it's a different different time too this is a different time too I think today they will stop the fight yeah they probably would have stopped this I think today they would have stopped the fight especially knowing this type of power that's coming so this is afterwards what's going on what's he warning about oh my god oh my god's power and here this boom and see the problem is you can't even block that with your gloves no it's too much power it's so much power and it's skillful too it's like he's wings those to the body but he's also skillful with the jack oh look at that left oh my god Frazier couldn't and he's still he's
2:53:24boom boom boom I mean what a warrior Joe Frazier was in Italy he gone too yeah for sure but he's still in there oh look at that oh my god it's not stopped okay this stop in the fight
2:53:50crazy it was crazy and Ali sitting on the couch like he got my shot this who I want to fight do you know that Hunter S Thompson flew to Africa to watch that fight and was so scared that Ali was going to get killed and so he didn't want to see Ali get the fuck beating out of him so he stayed in his hotel he stayed in his hotel and he got drunk and he floated around on the pool on a pool floaty and then afterwards he found out that Ali won so he'd they'd flown him to Africa to to write to report Rolling Stone flew there crazy he just completely failed didn't go there at all because I know I'm not put on a mix a Nixon mask and he's floating around on a pool because like video of him doing it because I don't want to see his hero get killed everybody thought he was going to get killed everybody saw that fight and they thought he was going to get killed they said there's no way how how is he going to beat him oh here we go but I mean the video is over yeah but it's cool um but my god man that era that era of boxing the haggler is still haggler in Tommy Hitman hers yeah it's like they hated it's like whatever went on between them like hey man I'm not coming to box you yeah I'm coming to a fight with gloves on this is this is the only thing this it's like you thought that haggler was out of there and haggler was like no no no I'm going to kill him do you know like I don't get by being down well he ain't getting knocked down it's like he was like I'm saying down in the behind in the fight he's like I'm not concerned about none of that man second round we gonna see about it like it was it was that first round was crazy crazy crazy and herds broke his hand in the first round yeah crazy and herds cracked him a few times that's what I'm saying he was like but I go had a legendary channel and and that's why he hated how Ali beat him I mean how um sugar rate beating with the pity pad shots like it's like he you can see him looking at like what the fuck are you doing with the pity pads you like you know what the fuck is he doing like why they keep massaging my arms I mean it was terrible that wasn't the best but I do respect the fact that he left he's like that's it I'm going to Italy and be a movie star I'm done I'm done I'm done yeah there's only a few guys that have ever just said that's it and never came back did you say anybody better than Penelica no no never no not defensively he was it fucking genius he was a genius he got robbed against Chavez they damn sure if I if I did a movie like if like I know movie that I want to do by me coaching girls somebody but if I did a movie I want to play Penelica oh my god sweet P is like that's that's one of the most phenomenal boxes he was so creative oh me he was so slick in there like his movement was so like see if you find a Penelica highlight is he was a bummer man when he died his his footwork was phenomenal yeah he was a part of that crew that was like Mel Jerteler Mark Breeland remember those guys yeah dude but he was just so slick just so hard to hit oh this this is him in Chavez oh the highlights apart of it look at that I mean come on man I know that was a real bummer man that decision most people disagreed with that decision he was so slick and hit so hard oh so accurate too oh he look at that oh my goodness he was amazing yeah he was an amazing boxer that a whole era yeah that was a lot of great that was a lot of great fighters look at this look at this Deloho yeah look at that that's amazing look how slick that is I mean come on man who fucking moves better than that guy look at that that's insane nothing you get nothing and it's Oscar De La Jolla I mean it's not a regular dude it's fucking golden boy yeah look at this insane he literally dropped down to his butt I mean he's so slick like nobody else man look at this rolling with shots it's like as the shots are coming out I'm amazing and then slip miss then boom let me give you one only way nothing is touching him it's insane look at him I mean this is incredible that's how good he was man he was so fucking good so so so was Mel Jotela in the early day magic Taylor El Jotela was winning against Leo Cesar Chavez until he landed one punch that one punch in the last round and then Richard steel stops to fight with two seconds to go Richard steel that was crazy it's like when the best they ever do you watch kid dropped Roy yeah yeah right man he was so then he started rapping and Roy Jones you start rapping it was over I was like damn that's a man he got to stay with boxing man he started playing basketball and doing everything else and then he get rocked yeah well and talking was fucking good remember when tarver talked to him right before the fight got excuses and excuse the night Roy like whoa Tava was a prick you seen it like it's gonna be a problem yeah like it's gonna be a problem tarver was competitive and heavyweight it went all the way up to heavyweight Tava was a good fighter very good fighter very good fighter very difficult to deal with and when he knocked out Roy everybody's like holy shit and then Glenn Johnson did it and I was scary one remember that one yeah his his mitt was a pretty long time but they was sweeping they was sweeping and everything don't scare me those kind of scare me when someone stiffens up yeah and to have it happen after the tarver kale that's what those would look kinds of scare me because sometimes a fighter is still recovering from the initial knockout and they've just convinced themselves they're okay and they're not ready no man they you know that's why man he packed out after Marquez knocked him out Freddie Road said I want you to take a year off a whole year you want to still work together I want you to take a year off that was a bad knockout bad wolf I was a bad one I was a bad Marquez the bad man's a bad man and shit he looked like he was on all the good stuff he's like his piss would melt the styrofoam cup I want I want everything and I'm not supposed to be taking yeah I'm ready if they drug tested him it would ding like a carnival bell like when them bugs buddy wants me to get the big gnarly
3:01:18yeah he was working with the guy that Pacquiao used to work yeah yeah the guy the Pacquiao the the strength and conditioning guy which is always the juice guys yeah always the juice guys those the guys they're 70 and they got abs I'm just eating his banana I don't know what I know what he made my food I had no idea it was in it Cadela said he got some tainted beef you know how'd you get the fuck it steroids in your body tacos bro just got tainted tacos it is wriggling on the taco by the guy like Frank Mayor who was a UFC heavyweight champion look at that yeah he was Jackson son Jack city and that's at the weigh -ins and they had real weigh -ins back then so he looked a lot bigger the next day so those weigh -ins like the UFC we don't have real weight we have real weigh -ins but the when the public sees it it's the ceremonial weigh -in and it's oftentimes many hours after the first weigh -in so what happens is they weigh in at like 8 10 in the morning and then they get to rehydrate to 4 p .m.
3:02:25when they get back on the scale for the ceremonial weigh -ins they've been drinking water and and electrolytes all day and eating all day so they might be like 10 pounds heavier like no bullshit by then then they look good so Marquez on fight night though show show him Marquez versus Pacquiao was it three it was the third one right that was the last one fight night it was four that's right it was four and they wanted to have a fifth one and Marquez like no I'm good I got it got this was sorry you got me but I got you motherfucker I got you were accounts he was jack city son yeah man he was doing a lot of crazy workouts for that fight too a lot of dumbbell shit oh my god look at the fucking power behind that shot my god look at that look at the power behind that shot and then when he literally like that's it right there Jamie that's it yeah that's it he literally ran into that shot looking to land a shot of Marquez timed it perfectly to watch a great like him get flatlined is always so strange yeah you know like you you're so used to seeing him doing that like Ricky Hatton right yeah that's right yeah Ricky hadn't got it got oh Ricky hadn't got it he got it from Pacquiao then when he got it from Floor and he ran into the buckle yeah like I'm like man what the hell is going on because he oh Floor got him first right yeah Floor got him first and then man he leveled him yeah man he flatlined him oh my god look at the power behind this watch this oh my god oh my god I mean the way his head snaps back he falls look at this lady over there look at look at I was like oh my god he's dead yeah look at her look at him yeah Viva Van Hugo his zero concern I mean Pacquiao is he cold is he down is he down okay hey like he was shit I mean that's like a gunshot wound look at this boom I mean is the perfect punch time I'd be one of the great I mean it is one of the greatest punches one punch knockouts in the history of boxing with the consequences on the line with all on the line with these two guys being world champions did that one so I should get cracking that was it said it's cracking you got cracked you got the chance for that was a that was a wild wild fucking four fights between those two guys get cracking on his shorts he's a hell of a pool player he is yeah like world class yeah yeah like professional level pool player legitimately yeah like Minnesota fans right Minnesota fats wasn't really Minnesota fats Minnesota fats was New York fats and then when the movie the hustler came out with Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman in 1963 I think it was a 63 when that movie came out they the movie was so popular that New York fats changed his name to Minnesota fats and said the movie was all about him but it wasn't he was just a good his name was Rudolph Rudolph Walden DeRone and he was a good pool player but he was not at the level of like Willie Moscone who was like the world champion at the time I don't know really good talker he's a smooth talking hustler character man it was some it's some guys that grew up in pool halls that I would that was big the difference they was great yeah if it was great any of them guys it's some guys who never even got noticed they just been planning pool halls all their life like yeah and because you know I know them guys who talk I was Minnesota fats will come down out whizzes out yeah well they probably would wear Minnesota fats out but he would play in one pocket he really didn't gamble in anything other than one pocket I think that was like my I'm sure he played nine ball two but I mean like when he would play big games against people he'd like to play in one pocket he could play everything though he was he was like a real professional class pool player he was a hustler but Willie Moscone was like the world champion Willie Moscone his his high record of running balls in a row was like 526 balls in a row it lasted for decades that's the person that's in public that's the public that's the public that's not really true it's not really true because in the in the pool world no in the pool world everybody gets found out especially today because they gamble because the the great players the best players they all gamble you ever heard a man of soda read I'm sure there isn't no telling somebody believe me this is my world like I literally came up in pool halls my dad a lot about pool hustling this is my dad on his own stick and all this and he and you always say man if I don't go shoot we don't eat which is which wasn't true because he owned the company but he was a pool shark I'm sure I'm sure there's a lot of pool sharks and it's some guys out there that I used to be in the pool hall I'm like damn if they went public like if that was yeah do they got it do you think everybody makes it to like it's some it's some basketball legends that they play that Rutgers right right and everybody's mind you talk about Dr.
3:07:47Jay they like come on man Willie Earl right Willie Earl with the color of the same thing but only people that know about Willie Earl yeah you're saying well there's guys like that in pool yeah but here's the thing everybody knows about them they might not be in the professional tournaments or not the tournament but everybody knows they folk legend everybody know they're all hustlers they're all gamblers so they all gamble to get that good to get really good you have to play for stakes you don't get that good playing funzies oh no you know funzies you got to play for real so when you play for real bread people find out and because the pool wire is like the quickest wire in the country if someone is playing for $25 ,000 a hard times and Sacramento people in New York City hear about it oh hell yeah instantly people text each other there's no secrets if you play with $25 ,000 I'm here about it so guys are good guys are good everybody knows about it yeah but there's there's local legends there's like this guy named Justin Bergman he might be as good as anybody alive but he doesn't play in too many tournaments but everybody's scared to gamble with him he goes and gambles with world champions and robs him and he's like this dude he never leaves his town and people come to him and try to gamble with him to folklore shit yeah you know but they're all known you know what I'm saying remember um what is this sitcom that somebody's son got hustle I think it'll be the good times oh it's probably good and he came down the day came down oh yeah fresh friends see don't nobody know about feel nobody know about Uncle feel Uncle feel calm down okay this is what y 'all doing huh y 'all ain't heard about me this is what I but I'm telling you in real life unless he's playing every day he's getting robbed unless he's playing every day it's a perishable skill Jeffrey go get him see you see this oh my god he's terrible he doesn't know anything because now he's pretending yeah okay so when does he uh when does he actually play let me see what he actually does when he's actually playing okay so now now he screws his cue together all right so now they're hustling let me say okay yeah they're not gonna show you so that's the most embarrassing shit ever is when they try to get someone to pretend they can play pool and they can't really play pool that's what the color of money is so oh yeah color money because Tom Cruise look like he could kind of play a little yeah I mean he didn't look really like a a world champion but he looked like he could play a little like it looked reasonable to assume that he could play pool that that's like what any skilled thing like pool and any other thing when they have somebody acting like like like like like boxing like boxing like I'll say creep like Cree who I saw Cree Cree is the worst goddamn box movies like I'm like man Will Smith did better in Muhammad leading fucking Cree Will Smith did good good that's what I'm saying good Muhammad but Cree I'm like man if you don't get these damn steps fuck out of here like I'm like that is fucking terrible like this is like you can tell they were just doing a count all the pad work like a look one two three turn your body one two three turn your body like god this is so terrible Cree it's so stupid it's so stupid like can you I can't particularly watch like if you watch me watch Oz or any drug dealing movie or any doctor thing it's the most excruciating thing happening to my face I'm like that's that's the job that I mean this don't even go like that it's like like it's terrible like I'd rather watch something else that I don't know anything about and just be intrigued like oh maybe that could you know maybe that could be happening but this stuff like man what the hell are you doing whereas I would watch it and I'll be like hmm I guess that's how it goes down
3:12:10and I'm sitting over there so far it's trying to make you it's with me you're like don't say I go man I'm trying to watch the movie don't explain it to me later I'm enjoying this I'm gonna go to the lobby I'm gonna go to the lobby because I hate this like I got to drive people crazy to play piano they see someone faking it that's got to try people crazy that's like your body movement like like none of this is your body movement like I would hate that nobody plays piano anymore think about that yeah I'm Ray Charles you had little Richard you had no no no no John Legend still played piano oh does he people definitely play but not like back in the day yeah Jerry Lewis got more instruments now Billy Joel I know I know I'm not it's not a judgment I'm not saying it's not a judgment I'm just saying it's interesting like there used to be so many Elton John there were so many piano acts there were like these big piano acts back in the day I think I should maybe play I should maybe play one one one one two thousand is open and it's in his vacant like I don't know but it is people that play like John Legend definitely plays the piano like in every commercial and everything like he is definitely yeah like I knew what you meant but there's also a lot of people they just it's there's other stuff to do right but I'm saying is it used to be like a viable kind of music yeah like guitar is still prevalent like most people still play guitar and the drums like most people don't pull out I get what you say but it is people who like something super sincere about singing a song while you're playing the piano like goodbye no majeena just stand there
3:14:01it's very sincere I felt that you know what I mean like yeah you know that's very personal you know what I mean yeah like the goods on I'll give you that type of feel right right right like they're sitting down they're sitting down it's very emotional goodbye no you know what I'm saying it makes you cry if he's just standing there that's what John Legend that's why John Legend do it so what is his song ordinary people I think he always leans in we are just you just as soon as you hear you like we are just yeah ordinary people like John Mary was doing oh yeah he was doing something live where he was just doing like a live storytelling show and he had like a piano you know what's weird about this there's no back to that piano how about you face the audience you fucking it's like I see his stomach before I saw him yeah like like straight in a shirt
3:15:01if he turned his back you would think he's fake maybe just like you're just saying I don't know if that's why everybody knows and he's talented yeah you could take the night off okay very very nice guy I think Elton John does he is on like like he kind of slightly turned but he's on like a platform right you can kind of see him Elton John is yeah oh he's the man Elton John back in the day set what's that song Saturday night Saturday nights all right for fighting yeah see what does the actual name of that song at his shit sideways too I don't understand that it must be I think it must be the show that he's playing it which makes sense I think it's TV is TV one to sideways to also you get to see more of him that way you get to see his hands and his legs moving everything it's probably better because I don't think I'm like every time I see him on play piano I've never seen him turn forward it's said right because it just be all knees yeah knees and crotch you just get on knees and crotch kind of weird where's glasses like why is he wearing sunglasses he always does is that odd but he always used to wear the big crazy glasses yeah that was when he was going bald maybe his eyes bad now like his hair fixed because he's definitely not going bald anymore well he got a lace front I don't know what that is but Steve was pretty good Stevie wonder um yeah Steve I don't know if Stevie play Rachel I'll never play to decide I mean the front either I think they always played that way I think it's probably because you know there are those pianos that'll play themselves it's a people probably want to see you moving around you want to see you actually doing it see if you could find Steve that's what that's what people don't play no more the harmonica so here's it he's sitting behind keyboards is he facing the crowd I can't tell yeah okay I think he turned he got keyboards and then he turns to the piano what about uh try to find Ray Charles how do Ray Charles do it because Ray Charles didn't even know where the when he only knew by sound where they even
3:17:05weren't that's when you have uh sideways yeah he sideways I guess they all do it that way make sense uh here no I guess there maybe better answer is that when you open the the piano up that's where the sound comes out oh oh because it goes like this yeah yeah oh that makes sense and then maybe it's just traditional that they all just do it oh that's that top thing yeah it's like yeah sound bounces on the other way it's gonna be not a good concert oh that's pretty bad that's probably most of the reason why oh that makes sense that's pretty cool that they design the top like that it's like a sideways harp yeah yeah okay but these pianos don't do that so that kind of defeats all right I gotta wrap this up uh tell everybody the names your specials where they can get um domino effects domino effect to lost they can go right on to um my website allysd .com or it's allysd comedy on Instagram is that what it is what do you want on Instagram you know allysdegon Instagram it's allysd comedy which that's that's the YouTube oh you're YouTube that's my YouTube oh really yeah allysd comedy is my YouTube oh because it says at allysdeg that's why I was confused so it's allysdegon Instagram allysdegon Twitter yeah allysdegon Twitter is allysdegon on Twitter but this loss is on YouTube you can go straight to YouTube and watch it for free or you can go to the website and watch it for free you know it's the actions and it's all available it's all available right now ladies and gentlemen allysdegon thank you brother appreciate it it was a lot of fun thank you thank you all right bye everybody
