4:11Yeah, like Joey and I've been friends for almost 30 years Yeah, 27 years or 28 year. It might be 30 now fuck. I might have met him in 94 It helps to have like I was asking my husband right before I left about a tweet I was gonna send out and he's like man and I was Like this is too much and then I was like fine. He's like, oh, what do you just want me to like clap for you? I'm so glad you're my husband.

4:56They just fuck up every now and then you have to tell him Hey, man, don't lie to me. Yeah, you don't have to lie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, but it's just this weird thing that People fall back on bullshitting and lying. They just fall back on it And they don't even know they're doing it to themselves You you will have less respect for yourself. You'll yeah, it's not worth it No, it's not worth it because you you just create these things that aren't real in your life These relationships these friendships that are based on reality, you know If a person can't handle the truth you can't tell him hey, that sucks Yeah, you got to work on this you got to change this you got to do that Yeah, if you don't do that, it's not gonna get any better like who the photos the best book ever it?
5:38No No, I mean I've had all my favorite editors have been so hard on me I want I want honest criticism. Yeah, you know like write jokes for your haters You know right jokes to turn them over like that was for you go one fucker You know you Stand home to him once that he writes jokes like a defense attorney. Oh interesting. Yeah, he examines his jokes As if he was like prosecuting them. It's great. That's great. I it's it's very similar to mine What I said I write jokes for haters. Yeah, you got to look at it like a hater sometimes Yeah, because you can get to in love with your stuff. Yeah, it's too easy It's too easy to get in love with your stuff the audience will tell you to well That's the difference between comedy and other things.
6:24Yeah, it's hard if you're just a journalist You know just writing you you kind of believe your opinion makes sense and all of the Mer doing the same thing like almost all of them except for the independent ones They're almost all doing the same things. They're saying They're they're expressing their thoughts to a very particular group of people and they're also Lying about another group of people almost always Yeah, it's all right does it and the left does it. Yeah, it's all fan fiction. Yeah, it is fan fiction Like the right does it with liberals because liberals aren't antifa Liberals aren't people that are lighting Starbucks on fire and shooting cops.
7:09That's not liberals That is just a thing that has existed in a team where you'll allow anyone to join a team So if you have something where anybody can join the team right which is basically what being a liberal or a conservative is Anyone can join the they don't like the sludge show They just don't know publicly Party hard, but they do it for Jesus. I know they do it for Jesus. I'm just saying publicly. Yeah, yeah, yeah It's the same thing though man. I'm telling you it's the same thing if you were an antifa or if you are Patriot front you're you I could have got either one of you fucks Yeah, you just got to get them early get them when they're vulnerable Talk them into a very specific ideology You know who's your problem the Jews They think the Jews really all their problems Together the Jews with now with which is odd right because of Palestine and Gaza It's that's where it's kind of come around like that moment in time.
8:18It's like everybody's mad at the Jews now It's like fuck. I mean that's the ancient conspiracy theory of all conspiracy theories that it's the Jews fault This is like one of the oldest conspiracy theories of mankind. Well, they choose me get real tough to join They're one of the more interesting religions like if you want to join it my uncle joined my uncle converted to Judaism He married a nice Jewish lady. I kind of want to convert go for it. I kind of do it. It's a lot what's up Let's see what new information you get you'll tell me right? You'll get the new memos you get up bar of that pro -town male list But he had to work really hard at it and I met a lady who was converting to I was doing a show once for sci -fi Where I just taught I was like trying to get people to maybe it was from the man show.
9:09I don't remember what it was Wait were you on the man show? Yeah, yeah, I was an extra on the man show. I was in the second generation Right, okay. I was in the first I was an extra in the first But what we were trying to do is I was trying to get people to convert me So I'd go to all these different religious groups and say like Well, what is just like I want to know who's get the best deal like what sounds the best and everyone got me It made it open my eyes It did because I got to see what I believe are genuinely kind people who want a good Result for human human beings. They really do and they a lot of them really genuinely believe that Their structure their ideology and way of thinking is really the path to happiness which is ultimately like the path to God You know without you know breaking it down to Cult like thinking and how people get absorbed and ideas that are untenable that just don't make any sense They're completely ridiculous But they like scientifically minded people attach themselves to that if it's a part of their religion without that What everybody wants is something good and they think that the way to have something good for the people that join is to like sort of Demonize the people that aren't joining or demonize the other ones and it's a tribal thing But it's just like all these little patterns of human thinking that we have people have it with everything I mean you see with cell phones You know you see with Android people versus iPhone people it's just a normal human Tribal characteristic that's embedded in our DNA that if we don't address and recognize we're not gonna overcome the hurdle because we're gonna Pretending as if it doesn't exist and as if your side is right and the other side is wrong and and not just looking at it like Oh, we're stuck in a blue versus red white versus black one versus zero It's just a tribal thing that exists in the way we operate and we have to be aware of it and not get Matty people for falling into it because it's normal to fall into it It's literally a pattern that's embedded in the code that makes you a human being It's how we created cities.
11:26Yeah, it's why we're here today It's interesting because I've been reading that rereading my favorite book trickster makes this world and how the trickster Who wrote that? Lewis Hyde it's all about tricks. Oh, it's so good, but it's It saved me at a point because I didn't really I had a hard time and I think this is This is where like Jordan Peterson is so good talking about archetypes knowing kind of the archetypes And I didn't really know my role and I read this book and I was like oh Get it trickster makes this world trickster makes this world. It's so brilliant, but they're Actually one of the quotes that I put in your card is from that book and it's my favorite one of my favorite quotes ever It's all about he who doops others and who is also doops himself.
12:12He's creator nor destroyer It's like this is the people I've noticed who have stayed the most I mean sane is a term I'm using loosely The people I've noticed it's like comedians people who are kind of like Tricksters they've managed to kind of ride the waves of the past eight years because I think they're not Too attached and in this book he talks about how it was there was all this trickster trickster mythology like Kiyote and Hermes and then it got kind of turned into the devil and it became Evil versus good and when that happened when when the loss of that mythology in the culture Happened it became much more black and white and like this kind of you know dualistic like you said tribal thinking without all of This gray area that I do feel like I look around like malice and all the people Most of the people who I've been hanging out with and no Have been kind of having a blast for like eight years Everyone first I watched everyone on the left loser mind then people on the right lots I was like I was having the same conversations for four years with the left Then I was like all the people on the right.
13:30It's gonna be fine. It's not the end of the world and then Here we are again here. We are again And the only people that make any sense of the ones who aren't on either team The the people that say things like you know as a conservative You're a fucking human being don't say it that way don't think it that way There's a there's a bunch of things that you believed but don't put yourself in a fucking group because there's probably a bunch of stuff That the left agrees with that you would probably agree with too. Yeah, and you can't be you can't be resistant to those ideas Simply because they're attached to people you've decided or the enemy because you might they might be right Yeah, you might be right about welfare, right?
14:16They might be right about have hey Maybe kids shouldn't ever be fucking starving You know as a group as a group of humans that live together on this one little Patch of dirt called North America Maybe we should agree that since we have this gigantic amount of money that no kids should be hungry Yeah, how about that and then since we got that done. Hey, how about regular people? How about no people should fucking starve? Yeah, regardless whether or not you think people are lazy or this and that how much would we solve if no one Could possibly starve. Yeah, we set up free restaurants or free kitchens We have every city we have it's got really good ones and massive ones.
14:55Yeah, like for real like food should be free For a lot of people. Yeah, I think before this rich as a country. We're pretty rich So let's have nobody's nobody's starved nobody's be malnourished nobody's starved death Health to health care would be 100 % you shouldn't be having a whole thing Yeah, you'd have to you would have to get to the real nitty gritty like why are you for describing this? Who's making money off of this? How did this happen? How many ads did you guys run? What did they add say? You know like what it's what are the studies? What are all the studies? Not just the ones you submitted What's the actual data instead of the data that's reviewed by the pharmaceutical company and then given to the Scientists in the report when they do their peer review when that was explained to me.
15:41I was like You guys making too much money you getting crazy This is what it is you went you went above and beyond the rules because you have too much power and influence But also you do great stuff. Yeah, they do also they make life saving drugs also They stop a lot of diseases also see like there's a lot of good there Yeah, you can't say the firms you to go drug companies or evil bitch They keep us alive in a lot of respects. Yeah, they do they do people healthy. They've saved people from depression There's like a lot of good that pharmaceutical drugs and the drug companies have done. They've saved people up diabetes There's a lot of good a lot of good.
16:20So let's say that they're all evil. No, it's fucking money people It's easier to do that though too because you don't have to really come up with a solution if everyone's just at each other's Throughout well, there's not enough oversight if there was real oversight Objective oversight by people who actually knew what they're doing They would never let them get away with those prescribing a bunch of stuff They knew was gonna have a negative effect like like the viox scandal Like that's part of the whole scandal was that they knew that people were gonna have these effects these side effects They were very bad.
16:52Mm -hmm. They knew it. They talked about it in emails. He's knuckleheads Fucking so stupid. They said they they're gonna have some problems, but we also think we're gonna do well They're explaining all the like you know cardio pulmonary cardiovascular all those different blood clotting problems Friend you had a fucking stroke and he took that stuff. No, he's in his 30s. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's in his 30s a martial arts champion Yeah, I'm glad I'm kind of stupid and I just some like a clown. Yeah I know I'm not like smart enough to fix these problems. I can I can observe them and experience them on my own and see that It does be who these people to just have everybody fighting so that they don't actually have to come up with like Politicians in particular.
17:38They don't have to come up with real solutions. They can just be like it's the other guy Forever if you ever lived in a house has black mold No, thank God because that shit will Destroy you. It'll destroy you. Yeah I've had a couple friends who have had problems with black mold and it's really interesting and usually what happens is they get sick And they're sick all the time and they can't figure out why they're sick and they're tired really tired They just worn out all the time and then finally they get their house examined and somebody probably suggested to them and then oh Jesus Christ your walls are filled with black mold and a lot of times it's like a leaky pipe or something a leaky pipe in Is water in the walls and all the moisture and in Texas he gets crazy?
18:22They get it they get it bad out here but When you have that you have to burn the fucking house down Actually, you have to like cut out all the walls like it's a very invasive process Remember that guy Tom Likus remember Tom Likus who's a radio DJ in Yeah, yeah Yeah, he had like flash Friday's or girls with other tits out We would tell people the useless on the phone Remember that guy. Yeah, he had that that happened to him and he was explaining it to me He said it was horrific that like he's just sick all the time couldn't figure out what was up and it's hard to get out of your System yep hard to get out of your system it wrecks your health and it takes a long time to recover just from the effects of it It's essentially breathing poison every day and who knows what it actually does Overall that you're not gonna recover from like it might it might actually take like years off your life like who knows But the point was it's really hard to get rid of it You got to it's so invasive and I think that's where money is today Money is with pharmaceutical drugs money is with politics.
19:25It's like we could all agree I think we could all agree that The way the pharmaceutical Suda will drug companies should work is they should be very careful about what they prescribed and they should be very Careful about side effects and they should be very careful about what is addictive and not addictive And what should be prescribed openly and regularly and which should not be and for the greater good of humanity and if even if they get that Even if they did that they would still make ungodly amounts of money That's what's so crazy about all this But it wouldn't be the maximum amount of money and when you have a publicly shared company It's your responsibility to the shareholders to make the most money Yeah, and you make more money every quarter.
20:04Yeah, you want to keep going. Let's go. Let's go Let's go let's go Plains are falling out of this guy. It's also where you get a private jet Yeah, let's fucking go like and the thing is that's been attached Unfortunately to our health and then you get people that you know They fucking advocate for public health and they look super unhealthy They're telling you the only solution is bang bang bang and the only solution is generally tied to something they have invested in Yeah, yeah, it's fucking crazy, but it's black mold. It's black mold That's what it is and my good the like the resistance to getting stock trading out of politics You know like you shouldn't be able to affect the stock and trade on it the policy about a company and then be able to make It's like millions and millions of money.
20:55Have you seen the Nancy Pelosi one with a questioner? I feel like maybe I have seen it. We said it's fucking amazing because she's all stammering She looks like she's a little drunk already and then they they hit her with it. She's like What I think we should be able to participate but oh, I think she I have seen It's amazing how badly she handles it they they're they're so rich. It's crazy. It's crazy How are you 100 millionaires you get paid like $170 ,000 a year and you worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That is so wild. It is very romance You know, it's amazing. It's amazing. They do it right in front of you Like I'm not joking off.
21:37I'm not joking off. It's raining out. They come right in your face It's so crazy because there's so many of them and then nobody talks about it the other ones don't talk about it Because then you look at the list and it's like black bipartisan. Yeah, it's here you go. It's blue It's red. Yeah, it's some of the Republicans are making the most. Oh, yeah No, I don't know to the second one Any we have a responsibility to report in the stock on the stock, but I don't I'm not familiar with that five months What you but if the people aren't reporting they should be This is a free market and people we are free market economy.
22:25They should be able to That's such bullshit Saying that it's a free market It's not when your manipula when you know you're gonna pass laws and those laws are gonna affect the company It's gonna make the stock go up like that's crazy. Okay. Yeah, that is a free market. I guess for you It's free for you. Well, that's crazy if you could fucking go to jail for insider trading like what is that? What come on? What is that? You know Martha's George watching this like these motherfuckers Well, we figured that out the other day Martha Stewart did not go to jail for insider trading She went into jail for lying to an investigator.
23:02She's lying under oath They how lie though she's lying right now. She's lying under oath or was she just lying when questioned?
23:11Something like that. Yeah, something like that. So that's why she went to jail for it But that's like a little trick. They do you know they get you to start talking and you know You don't tell the truth about something if you ever talked to Doug. Do you know Doug? Doug? Who's Doug? Right away you're lying right away you're lying and for her I don't even think it was a lot of money, which is really crazy. She would have only lost like a certain amount of money She's super deeper rich. Yeah, yeah, like huh?
23:42We see you texting Doug right here. Oh, no And then you think like signals really encrypted. It was Douglas. They're showing you the fucking things from signal Why were you doing it in encrypted app? How did you read it? Wait a minute Just ridiculous. Do you believe any of these apps are really No, none of them are encrypted. They're all I think they are I think they are encrypted, but I don't think that matters So fucking CIA or the NSA or whoever wants to read shit shooter I was like give me whatever phone that can add. Oh, we can get into it. Yeah, we can't get into his phone Like what the fuck are you talking about bitch?
24:19You get into Elon Musk's phone. They got into it They couldn't get into it on the field, but they went back to Quantico and got the software update and then they got into it like oh The software update the old software update.

33:41I can't go by that. No, like it's like Rolex is like Yeah, if you want to a Rolex store, you can't just buy a roll. I actually don't know no, so we don't have anything So you have a giant store with the fuck is this so I was talking about it with her and then all of a sudden I started getting these purse ads. Yeah, I'm my mind knows what Google So it's listening, but it's just listening. Yeah, yeah, and you know, we just accept that It also knows who's in the same room together. So I knew my husband was looking for rings for me And then I started getting ads for the ring dirty rat. It's a fucking rat But the thing is like how do they get that?
34:14That's I think that's like the The yeah, a lot of it. I think are you pay I I think you pay so you can pay and then plug in Phone number I've thought about asking if we can do an investigation like this just for funsies to see like what data can we get? Yeah, let's do that. Let's track Jamie All right, he's just which massage power Jamie's going to get that Some willing participant if she's I mean for real like but that's creepy because then they just have to find your phone number Jamie and they'll know what your your route is based on ad tracking data, which is crazy That seems like a huge security liability.
34:53I brought up to I was talking to someone out in the lobby The new journal app on the iPhone, which is like I'd probably iOS 17 or 18 It keeps giving me prompts. Oh fuck that thing right, you know right in your journal Yeah, I was looking through yesterday. It's broken down by like where I go What I was doing there and then it knows it's like do you want to write about your golf day at this place for Monday? You are out of lunch here like how about your day at work with Marshall and the dogs is like dirty little spy dirty little spy I wrote a whole piece about those menstrual tracking apps because I Had one back when I was dating my husband and then I was like hey can I sign you up just to see how weird this is and he's like This is fucking creepy I don't want to know that you're like in your lood -yield phase or whatever and I have to be nice to you and it like gives him tips like she would like Oh, no, not tips.
35:44You know it would be great though if you had like a real female heavy government and You know they would all have coinciding menstrual cycles if they all work together at the time And then you could like get all their data and figure out exactly when this shit is about to hit the fan And you could like run the stock market that way you can like make bets because when the shit's gonna hit the fan They're gonna be fucking angry things gonna go sideways. You're gonna have a dip in productivity You have people resigning something's gonna go wrong. This is all the stuff the left is very worried about with like jadey vans Because allegedly he's like big and I don't know this true America.
36:19I don't know this true He's allegedly into like the menstrual tracking and you know these billionaires are getting behind these apps So that they can like and there's a lot of fear What do they want from that? There's a lot of fear with like the states that don't allow abortion because now they want to like pull up your You know records and see if you might I don't fucking know I really think and I'm like I never I don't know Which true or not or which just being like you know just a Just hyperbolic so that people freak out about this stuff, but There's there's um yeah, there's a whole industry in this now like a whole the whole menstrual tracking Jesus Christ I was listening to a podcast the other day and I never knew why women cycles synced up, but here's my question.
37:10What do they want from it? What do they want from that data? What what are these guys that are tracking? Well generally presented as something that's good for the women because then you can like eat and work out with their cycle because if you are in Perry, menopause or pre -menopause or you're like Like in the prime of your life you want to do different things at different times and your cycle and different foods are better and right like hormones for women are nuts dudes just have like what you've got one Women have like three that are constantly interacting and and all it's so Depending on what they just haven't done as many studies So now they're trying to say like oh it's good to know where you are so that you can support yourself Allegedly all these guys want this for like Handmaid's tail.
37:55I don't know. This is what I'm asking. What are the guys wanting for this? This is a conspiracy the article I'm reading says that there was a new fine Regulation HHS final has a new regulation under hip -butt to limit law enforcement access to medical records tied to reproductive health So they're they go all the way down to saying Local police agencies might simply take it upon themselves to pull the records to see how unexplained disruptions in their menstrual cycles To find out of someone across state borders to go get Oh Okay, it's not yeah My god imagine you your your own menstrual cycle isn't private information Nothing's private, but imagine that yeah imagine like someone can sneak in and say what happened And you have to explain you had a fucking miscarriage to some asshole who's accusing you of driving to Ohio or wherever the fucking Yeah, imagine I mean that just imagine those conversations if you're a person who had a miscarriage.
38:54Oh, yeah I mean imagine if you're happening Imagine you're married and happy you were trying to have a kid and you had a miscarriage and some fucking asshole is at your front door Accusing you of getting an abortion. Yeah, to deal with this Christian fucking cult member With a clipboard you know aggressively Accusing you of killing your baby. Yeah, it stems from the what they call the dobs decision Which changes the rights of states so dobs decision tour away the constitutional right to privacy and bodily autonomy by giving states increased rights to limit and even outlaw abortions Fortunately the decision did not ban abortions nation -wide So then they're saying that some of these new regulations could allow them to go even further and check like do whatever that do check Hmm, I'm trying to stop that Isn't it crazy that one of our biggest Arguments as a country is whether or not you should be a lot of kill a baby Isn't that crazy?
39:55I love you. Yeah, I just really was is what it is. Yeah You know, and I'm not a I'm not a pro -life person. I'm not a I'm not a I don't think it's my decision I don't think I have the right. It's too weird Especially if it's not I'm not involved like I'm a politician I'm looking at like a person and deciding whether or not they should have to have that baby or not It's like it seems crazy because it seems like It's one of those weird human things where are you saying the moment of conception? It's a baby Like if it's three cells and you know for a fact that's one that you can't shut that down Like you what but then if you ever go to the bodies exhibit that's fucking great exhibit that I talk about And they have a babies they have babies at every stage and they see them at six weeks eight weeks ten weeks first of all How'd you get those right?
40:46Yeah second of all it It really like puts it in perspective and it changes like this idea and you just putting it in a box of women's right to choose right Yeah, definitely not my not bad place, but look at that look what we're saying look at we're saying the choices like what we look We're like advocating for I think most American like when you pull Americans It's very much I think where I end up landing they're squishing on it and it's like pro life In the sheet like pro choice in the streets pro life in the sheets like a lot of women are like I wouldn't get an abortion but I don't want to stop someone else from doing that they hear then then there's a slippery slope of allowing people to tell you you can get an abortion Right, especially allowing men to tell women that they're not even remotely connected to that they can't have an abortion Yeah, it's like a weird body autonomy thing and it's like that's what I mean And a lot of them want to exclude crazy things like a child that is like never gonna live like Unvailable or it could be a threat to the woman There's some sort of a medical issue and it could be a threat to women's life unless they abort the baby Like and even then they're like no like God's ordered out like hey They'll they'll make exceptions for this allegedly But the doctors are worried often about losing their license in states where it's highly regulated.
42:07Yeah, you end up Yeah, it's sketchy and I don't I don't think like You know, it's a slippery slope to like get the jab too, you know, you I don't think You have to have some kind of bodily autonomy But I understand the argument too from the moral perspective I had this woman in a statement on my podcast and she's brilliant and she's like, you know, it's a hard conversation because it is a moral You're like if you're not conflicted about it. You're not thinking deeply about it because it is a life and as someone like Ben Shapiro would say left untouched that would be a baby and and I think was a burrow had that like brilliant bet Brilliant, but yeah, Louis has a brilliant bit on it too It's um, it's complicated.
42:57It's complicated. Yeah, I understand the fight for it You know, I if that is where you lie. Yeah, but this thing of having people Track your fucking cycle. Yeah, no, it's like and having like crazy like bow tie wearing Christian guys do it You know, I'm saying I love it in your mind. They're like these like hello. I pray the gay way type dudes Hey, the gay way, you know, there's there's You know, they can they mask themselves in A blanket of virtue through religion the same way a lot of woke people do by being mean cunts and thinking they're doing it to be like progressive or Well, they have their own version of pray the gay way.
43:36It's the same. Yeah, they do But they're doing what they're doing by wrapping themselves up in these ideas of Christianity It's just allowing like people's worst instincts to be able to be justified It's instincts to control people and dominate people and destroy people people have weird instincts to just destroy people Yeah, and people do have weird things about women like there is just a very It is very strange to think I I don't know are there other than like the jab when people were like you got to get the jab I can't think of a I don't know and maybe I'm wrong. Is there like a comparable scenario where men's Bodies are kind of like this battlefield.
44:21No nothing nothing you're remotely close. Yeah, nothing's remotely close and again There's no one has any control over men's bodies There's I mean the only thing they can tell you don't take steroids. Which they do You know, so like but who's going to jail for that? Yeah, and also there's testosterone therapy that people get That's it's not steroids, but that's no one no one's stopping you from doing that because It helps people it's great great stuff It helps people it gives it helps your body retain its vitality and you don't want to broken down old fucking shitty body It's really that simple and everybody attaches testosterone to douche baggishness and I totally get I totally get without coming from douche baggery shitty behavior unnecessary aggression.
45:06Yes, 100 % but not always and it's like all things. It's like yeah, there Cars people drive recklessly and they drive drunk and they cause accidents right, but not always yeah, so it's not banned cars Let's not let's not like automatically assume that all things masculine are bad. No. This is a stupid thing It's it's so unhealthy too. It's just like also ladies. That's what you like that is we like Ladies, I know you don't want to admit it, but that's what you like. You just like it when it's nice That's all it is kind of yeah, you just don't want it mean You know, and you don't want it ruining civilization and that's what it does because it ruined civilization Like if wars were all women There'd be no fights.
45:50There'd be very few there'd be a few brawl and like Wendy's in two o 'clock in the morning There would be no real war. It's not the same thing You know what I'm saying? But I'm saying if there was wars if entire populations were all women I mean no men men don't exist. So women exist only in the form that they exist today, right? Let's pretend they don't need men and they just exist like this to be fucking zero war What do you think about this argument though that the other thing that's destroying civilization right now is not having enough men dying and war Like you have all these men who generally would be kind of sacrificed in these wars historically Who are and now they're all just like keyboard warriors who hate you know, they're in cells basically There's an argument that people make about like we need to put them back in the coal mines They need to like get back to I've got a much easier solution Chiu Jitsu yeah or that but should be mandatory You know how you learn how to read you should learn how to strangle people both both both sexes.
46:52Yes Definitely well Jiu Jitsu is the absolute best self defense for women 100 % There are women that are 130 pounds that can put you to fucking sleep. Yeah, you're a big grown man They will fucking strangle you they would take your back You won't be able to stop it and they will get their hooks in and they'll put you to sleep. Yeah, that's a one 100 % fact you just need a fighting chance to get away. Yeah But you you also need to be able to defend yourself and like one of the best things about Jiu Jitsu is the guard and learning how to fight off of your back Now if you're a woman and some guy takes you down it tackles you Learning how to effectively defend yourself off your back is fucking huge.
47:33Yeah, it's absolutely huge because technique can overcome physical strength Yeah, it really can especially in that position I want to get back into it because they learn how to shield with their shins They learn how to grab at the biceps and the shoulders and prevent you from using your strength They learn how to get under hooks and to go behind you They learn how to defend themselves Do you know if there's a place in Austin that does like women self defense? Okay, cuz I don't want women self defense I just solved I'm not disparaging women self defense classes But what my feeling is is that you should learn how to actually fight.
48:10Okay, I think there's I used to To I used to teach Taekwondo at Boston University and then they had this women self defense class They're gonna do there too, and I got a chance to watch it And I was like none of this is gonna work now this is gonna work. Why not I was taking a Gracie and Beverly Hills it was Jiu Jitsu, but it was specifically like you get grabbed from behind. Oh, yeah, the Gracies do a different thing though Yeah, so you you were learning how to fight, but it was specifically like generally how you're in a car Your this is my this is the reason why I'm saying this Knowing how to do something is not enough.
48:45It's just not enough. You have to train it right It has to be automatic. Yes. You have to train it all the time Yeah, if you don't train it all the time when the thing happens you'll have to think you don't want to have to think Right, no, you have to be like muscle memory. Yes. Yeah, one of the best things about Jiu Jitsu is when you're rolling in the class The person who you are sparring against is generally going close to a hundred percent of their strength when there's certain positions Like there's certain things that they're doing to you where they are using all their might to try to achieve a A dominant position a passing of a guard You know finishing up of a submission.
49:24They're closing up a submission That is a you're accustomed to that. So it's a normal thing right? So you're you're not like when you do sparring in karate class You kind of touch each other. Yeah, yeah, so when someone you really fucking blast you you're not It's not you're not used to that and you you might freak out right? Jiu Jitsu it becomes automatic Is the absolute best martial art for people because if you're in a physical struggle with someone if some guy grabs you at a bar And the bar table behind you falls over and you're on your back You you know exactly what to do you don't you don't even think you're in the middle of chaos And it's as easy as tying you shoe you know exactly what to do But it's because you've done it up.
50:03Oh, just like shooting though too. It's why you've got a train You should train everything. Yeah, everything you do. That's important. Yeah, yeah everything everything is it's stand -up comedy You have to do a lot of sets. You don't do a lot of sets. You don't feel sharp. Yeah, you have to feel sharp. Yeah It's it's like been so fun to get back because I was I Kind of convinced myself. Maybe I just had a 10 year face of comedy no and then my friend aerial Isaac Norman who runs like a so the gay enough show she's She's amazing and she was like just calm do one set and see how you feel and I was like I don't know I'm a mom now like Maybe that was just like my lesbian summer that I had or whatever and she's like just try it and see she's like you can't Like you can lie to yourself about this, but you're once you're a comedian like good like getting that out and Once I got up I was like god damn and I got to do this now And it's not something you can just like do you know, it's not a you've got to do it Well, it also like you feel the puzzle again like I love the puzzle Feel the puzzle you go on stage you're working the puzzle out and you're like okay, I'm in it's so humbling too I just love eating shit and being like I don't know is it was funny someone is like Why are you doing that?
51:19I'm like well? I can either be a successful pundit or a failed comedian The Well, it's a successful pundit. It's not mutually exclusive. No, Jimmy door. He does both Jimmy's great Jimmy's such a funny stand -up too. Yeah, he did stand up at the club when he was in town in my podcast I haven't seen him live in forever. He was really funny. Yeah, it's really sharp. Yeah. Yeah, it's been such a nice guy too Yeah, I've always wanted to I don't know him. I've always wanted him. He's a sweetheart. Yeah, he's a really nice guy Every every interaction I've had with him has been pleasant, but I never goes He goes so hard like he knows a lot though.
52:02He does. He's constantly. He's him and he's ruined Kurt Mezker Kurt Mezker is like so far down the conspiracy radical now I know every fucking conspiracy Kurt Mezker's balls in oh, yeah, and he just freaked out by everything because he did know all this stuff Till he started working with Jimmy and he started working with Jimmy's like Jesus Christ and now he's just like He's just in every time I have I find anything that's fucked up. I send it to him to get him worked up Kurt yes And he sends me like these walls of text you want to see these walls of text? Have you ever seen them? No Have you ever been texting with Kurt?
52:39I wish I'm sure Kurt Mezker wall of text when they were here doing their show Yeah, look at these look at these walls of texts Watch these I'll get you a good one here. Here we go. Here's a good one. Look at this wall. Oh wow He's just watching here's another good one. There's another good wall. He just he'll like just go at you That guy's like a joke writing machine. Yeah, he's a genius. Yeah, I mean his mind just he has a like you know when they open down That's what it's like you sleep He just goes so hard. Yeah, he's such a great joke writer. It's such a fun dude to hang out with but the tweet walls are fucking insane There's thing that they did at mother shop that he Yeah, I was that that shit is genius, so it's so like again is one of those guys where you want to talk about someone It was like not appreciated for a genius and a true genius.
53:31Yeah his face swaps of Trump Did you ever see the one with Trump and Caitlin Jenner? They're having sex. No I think I was the one that they wouldn't let on Comedy Central because you know briefly He was gonna do a thing on Comedy Central with the face swaps, but it's They're too good on Instagram. They're too good like he's too free. Yeah, and the the craziness is the freedom Yeah, you know like did you ever see the one where Caitlin Jenner? It was explaining about her new vagina that she got to the girls And how she masturbates with it with a weed wacker. It's like the whole thing is so it's so horrible It's so crazy and the girls are like what Like you've seen it.
54:14He's got the Kardashians a bad guy. Fine. Fine. That please Jamie She's the best Caitlin Jenner. It's fucking insane. He does the best Trump They were when they did the land acknowledgement. It was like a picture of you kicking like I mean audience had no idea what to make of this We need to do a land acknowledgement I Was like watching NPR mother chef. It was so good Do you remember when they used to announce what color the clothes? They're wearing oh yeah my pronouns are she hot her And I'm in a blue dress didn't come a little do that yes, yes, yes But they only did it for like a few weeks and they're like too much too much get ready back out back out That was so stupid that even people in their party were like what the fuck are you doing?
55:05What the fuck are you doing? That's like if it's like right when you're starting to go my name is Bob I'm a patriot and I believe in Jesus Christ like everybody hey, hey, hey, hey, Bob We're just talking about the infrastructure. We just gonna fix the road Bob calm down Bob And I was Bob yeah They just resist resist resist You know that's what Ben Shapiro told me what like you should just not do it and that it's like one of those things like you You might want to murder someone, but you shouldn't I think it's yeah, you're metting a guy's you know what he gave guys Just clench that be all and pray But first of all what are they supposed to do pretend they like girls have you met gay guy like actually Okay, they actually they're real okay, it's like thinking that a bear as a fucking teddy bear and actual gay guys a real thing Leave them the fuck alone Let them fuck guys you weirdo You bow tie wearing clipboard having fucking weirdo.
56:09What do you care? What do you care? They want to fuck each other? Who it's like I feel like we're surrounded by pearl clutches, you know everywhere I turn it's pearl clutches It's also why is that pleasure so forbidden cocaine if it's this for a lot of people that are like pro lifers gay sex should be your favorite sex There's nobody's gonna have a baby. He's gonna be no abortions You know how many abortions the gay community has fucking zero All right, if everyone's going to help for sure they should get a pass at least haven't killed any fucking babies Right, so is it okay if gay guys massage each other is that okay?
56:43Oh, that's fine. Oh, yeah Yeah, you can give each other back rubs and foot rubs and butt rubs Fine, but just don't touch the dick like that's crazy That is a joke Lately crazy if you can get a job if you're gay dude you get a job rub them backs and butts and feet for $50 an hour or you could rub dicks for a hundred and fifty Like it seems like it's quicker, you know get to the point make your money. Who cares? What do you care? Do you want to touch his feet? You don't right you're doing it for money You don't want to touch his dick either the argument I guess would be it was like a slippery slope to all the prostitution Well, it's a slippery soap.
57:24Here it is I found the right one. Let's just try it. Let's just touch Well, that was I forgot Newtonish Why Maybe because I put too much of Kylie's lip puff from a lips. Yeah, the girls in the lips on your face Are you serious? But I paid 80 grand for that. Good. So maybe everyone's doing Oh, you're embarrassed Oh Kim came at the side door Okay, I'll push you in The door is closed Yeah, you got to push it It's locked Yeah, wait until I push you Okay, push it Why did you open it? There was the weird boughing noise Yeah, let me let me open the door It's a box You don't get it to like buzz you Jesus Christ I love him so much.
58:58I love him Just not right. This is better than anything the company central has a little south park No, yeah, and they fucked it up. Yeah, and the thing is when they were doing it over there Here's the problem first of all they were using better technology So and I think that's what one of the things that makes it fun is how shitty it looks You know because you don't really think it's Kim Kardashian. You don't really think it's Caitlyn Jenner The stuff he does is perfect and they were doing it with like high -end stuff. Oh right And it's kind of creepy Right right right. I think the one with Caitlyn Jenner having sex with Trump It might not it might be one of those like lost recordings Maybe he has it.
59:37Yeah, I don't think he's ever even released it's Hallerious I should ask my name's hilarious. I bet my friend knows it And I'm pretty sure Trump's on the bottom. Yeah If I remember correctly There I don't know these networks are done like hot yeah, unfortunately They're they're they're hamstrung right they're hamstrung by their format. They're hamstrung by the fact that the investors They have to have commercials every five to seven minutes. They're hamstrung by that Then they're hamstrung by the fact they're on commercial television So they're lose language restriction. It's in content Rest you're not gonna take a risk the people that are the producers and executives They're the ones who get intent they get to make the decisions as to whether or not you stick risk And generally speaking unless a show it's really successful like South Park South Park they stay out of the conversation Like leave those fucking guys alone.
1:00:28Yeah, he says let them do what they're gonna do And it's gonna be amazing But if you're a beginner, they're not gonna do that. No, they're not gonna take that chance And because they're not gonna take that chance because they have this weird relationship with their advertisers and they can't be free They're never gonna be able to compete with someone like Kyle No, and why would he you would have to offer him a lot of money to even make that worth it Yeah, but even if you did you'd have to let him do that. Yeah, like the thing is about Kyle It's like if Kyle was on the staff of a regular comedy central show You know as a writer or producer he would not be able to shine you got to leave him alone Well, this is why I think Shane dodged a huge bullet.
1:01:06Yes, because man how hamstring he would have been working I he would have still he was still done his shit of course But he would have gotten he and people got mad at him, but he would have been the same guy He yeah, but I still think like you get rained even the one that he did when he was a guest the funniest sketch of his They didn't air it. Yeah, yeah, but that's just they don't want to there's there's like no This is like real internal cockfighting on that show that people Explained about like who sketches get picked and he's not get picked and And there's been a lot of accusations of like certain writers taking premises from younger writers As with Jim Brewer said oh, I have a database of stuff.
1:01:47They're working on then someone would just see what you're working on And then steal it. Oh wow. Oh, yeah, yeah, Phil Hartman told me about that too Yeah, Phil Hartman told me there's all these like it's weirdly competitive and back stabby He was a harsh like when when Phil first came over to news radio I took him a while to just relax and be friends with us Yeah, because he almost thought of us as being like fellow cast members on SNL So this is like this combative sort of distance relationship Interesting and the cast of news radio wasn't like that at all We were allowed getting drunk together and having fun and rel - laughing It seems like it's competitive SNL.
1:02:28Oh, yeah, it's very it's not just competitive. It's like back stabby competitive according to Jim Brewer He hated it. He does it could not deal with the way that things were done It's like high pressure too and very stressful Just position that people are fighting for you. They'll write on SNL your producer on SNL You want you know You're this is like you're in that hungry part of your career where you're making things happen And you're competing with all these other people when it was good. It was great. Oh But it's only great when you have wild people who you let do funny things Yeah, you can't do a lot of the things that they used to do It would like Chevy chase and Richard prior when they were like I'm gonna say a word and tell me what you think Yeah, what's the first word that comes out of your mouth?
1:03:14It's like you couldn't there's no chance of no You can do any Wig nerd slut you couldn't do any of that now you might be able to do Landtark You know, but like even the fucking samurai thing the John Belushi's yeah, you couldn't do that because it's cultural appropriation You can't be a Japanese guy They they're broken, but do you think Hollywood is like with AI and all this do you think that it? It's a stands a chance. Yeah, don't make awesome movies. They're still gonna make movies But they're gonna make movies entirely on a computer The people that are gonna be fucked are the actors and the writers They're fucked and then the animators they're fucked.
1:03:49They're fucked everybody's fucked all these Special effects houses you're fucked yeah everybody's fucked. There's you don't have it There's not a chance in hell that you survive they won't just like use the technology to They don't need you improve if a if a studio is making films like all they're gonna need is algorithms They all kind of look like they're made by algorithms already What's gonna happen is they're gonna do that and then the number one movie in the world is gonna be a movie that a kid made on a cell phone He's gonna make it with editing it on fucking iMovie on his phone or whatever it is And he's gonna make it off of his cell phone It's gonna be like the Blair Witch project.
1:04:26I was like the police died my it's so real. Yeah, yeah Yeah, they're but special effects and all that shit. That's how to window yeah I don't know it seems like my friends who are still in Hollywood and LA they've been we've been talking and they're like this the wheels are coming off the bus out here Like that they had a strike and they're like and we never recovered really and now the work is drying up because they are just using AI what's not just that they are gonna be able to Make real films real quick for real cheap and they're gonna do it and it's gonna cripple that business And if those films make any money if they're any good if people like them It's gonna be so strange man so many jobs are gonna be useless We are literally giving birth to our successor and we're all like oh meta's got an AI now.
1:05:21We're gonna ask it some questions Have you do you say I don't zero zero? I have a Samsung Galaxy as 24 Ultra that has some AI features that I thought were interesting Yeah, one of them was You can go to a website and it will summarize the website for you. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of cool And there's some other things that does it summarizes notes for you transcribes notes, but other than that There's good things like for transcription stuff like that. I think that it's it is useful I can do it in no time at all I probably should ask it questions, but it is about things if I have questions about a subject I asked I was sending Tony a screen chock because I was asking it about the I asked it about the top comedy podcast and kill Tony wasn't on there And I was like it's it's shadow banning you AI is doing that I asked this AI search engine that I've used you com well for sure some of them are curated some of the results are curated just like Google results are curated It's very difficult to get certain stories now if you could try to Google certain stories things that have happened in the past Very hard to find and it seems like duck duck goes been compromised to oh no Yeah, I think that it was really go, but it just seems to mirror the results of Google now so where it didn't use to a pretty weird stuff There's brave brave has a search engine that I think is with no algorithm It's not I don't think it's curated and I think there's a few other ones that you can go to that are like small and Search engines Like they're all tied into the same thing right?
1:06:59They're all tied into this great database in the world. I just don't know I don't know what's going on behind the scenes that if you Google certain things it will only give you positive Things about a person and if you Google other people it'll only give you negative things Yeah, doesn't doesn't that doesn't it seem though like tack is shifting a little more Rightward no only X But I mean he's been freaking Zuckerberg the other day come out and be like that was the most badass or was that AI? No, it was real he said that but how much how much of a say do you really think Zuckerberg has over the entire business of meta right?
1:07:41Yeah, he's the owner of the CEO of the big dog, but he's also one human being hunting people in Maui You know He's doing jiu jitsu He's really into a lot of fun things. Yeah, you know, he's having a good time right How much I mean he's not there every day For sure people are getting shadow banned and it's not like he's behind the scenes pulling the triggers There's there's it's a company and it's a giant huge company that is like all these companies heavily influenced by advertiser dollars Yeah, Demsder fire we get that a lot from people we get emails constantly that they that they've been unsubscribed Like can't I get one a day and we've reached out to youtube and been like hey, why does this happen?
1:08:24They're like well if you can get a Screen recording of that happening. I'm like so someone's supposed to Record themselves being unsubscribed like this is impossible Then maybe they'll investigate it and Demsder fire is you know, we we're kind of like Like my friend the other day was like this shit you say on that show like I'm like we're fine flying after the radar Yeah, but you're not no one is you know, even people that aren't That are kind of flying under the radar. They're not There's they know the the algorithms picking up things you say They know they know what you're talking about and they don't like when people are questioning certain narratives No, no, no and we it's funny.
1:09:08I like our slogan for dump survivors We make burgers out of your sacred cows and it is so funny back to like our tribalism thing Everyone has like their thing. Yeah, where you'll say something like ha ha We love you in the minute you're like and then blah blah blah and they're like Tell you how dare you and that's all they hear You're like yeah, that was your thing. I'm sorry. I stepped on your third rail. Yeah. Yeah You need rubber shoes bitch Do you? Yeah, the whole thing is stupid. It's and it's very unfortunate. There's no real competitors like a Twitter That's just a video thing like you too.
1:09:44It's like he's trying though. Yeah, I mean maybe he'll be able to do it It's possible. He can if anybody's gonna do it Twitter's gonna do it. He's gonna do it. I mean thank God We would not know the present what wasn't dad. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just spreading Can you think that that's a guy in a suit? Let's watch the video. Are you okay? I know I got something man You want to get it out? No, no, no, it's nothing You want to put some water in there? No, I think it's actually just a cigar ash. Do you want you have eye drops? Oh don't worry about it I'm fine to video I know thanks mom I want to show the video of Biden walking up the stairs of Air Force one walked a little too sprily for my But can we talk about just how objectively insane this is right now?
1:10:24That we're arguing whether or not the president is really alive But also like everything that's happened in the past what is it 10 11 days? And this is there's a large but we were all talking about this before he started recording There's a large population of people who are acting like this is all just normal like oh what's the big deal? All the like people who were probably still wearing masks. They're all like oh what's the big deal? This is I'm like if this was Trump and he was in stall like if just reverse parties and this was happening with Republicans It would be Literally Hitler going on the end of democracy.
1:11:00It's fucking banana town zoom in this lump this fake Biden real quick just kidding Go full screen Not him He has no idea where he is This is sad It's walking pretty good I don't know this is sad or that's a 40 year old guy in a suit But Nearly got assassinated has there been those hands those are young hands he dropped out of the race with a notes apology Like I want to analyze this like the Patterson Gain went big foot footage See his gate Yeah, when it sees gate. Oh, it's done his gate. What's fucking AI software? Hey chat GPT Tell me if this is the real Joe Biden based on how he walks. I did see someone put It also could be fake they put the audio of his phone of the phone call into like 11 labs And it said it was like 98 % chance.
1:12:08It wasn't real. Yes. Yeah. I said that to really To me yeah, um, let me send that to you to Jamie But I text me about Trump. It was like I was like is this the first it's fucked up that we even live in a time where all of our first reaction Which rightfully is is this real like when I heard about Trump. I was like is this AI? Yeah, everything seems fake people were thinking that I mean wasn't didn't that one lady? Tweet that she thought that uh, Trump only got shot in the head so he doesn't go to jail Oh Wait, oh, so he knows him's Trying to I'll tell you right in a second after I sent that thing to Jamie Um, this is I mean I get kind of turned on by all the chaos because I It's like I do I'm like, please stop.
1:12:55I'm gonna start masturbating to Twitter. It's too much. It's just too hot It's so crazy. It's just like every day. It's crazy. Okay, who it is? um So it says Donald this is like um Aaron Rupert said Nancy Mace apparently said this. I guess it was on one of those news channels Donald Trump literally took a bullet for our country and this lady posts No, he didn't he was hit with a bullet because he's desperate to stay out of prison now Supposedly these are deleted tweets So this might be bullshit So we have to find out that because the Russians are always trying to keep us at each other's thrill So it's fine.
1:13:41I've that's a real tweet. I'm gonna make you cut that out so we don't get sued Who is gale hate first of all Helt gale helped HLT. Why would you get sued? I who people see if you read a fake tweet Oh With their name on it with that Twitter account with Twitter account shall I look up? Um, the Twitter account. I'm sorry. This is amazing I know hilarious Um, it's ghlt But it feels like the Trump things already out of the new cycle. Oh, yeah, what's the big deal you just got shot in the head Yeah, no press conference nothing did you get rid of her account? That's the lady yeah So So that's that's the that's the clean analyst CIA analyst honey pot don't click on it.
1:14:39What account does exist? So she killed her account after this This is weird. Yeah And you know that Biden when he announced that he was not going to seek re -election. It was a national ice cream day I Was like we live in a simulation look at okay context morons the point was that no He didn't take a bullet for his country the point was that he's running to stay out of prison And thus is why he took a bullet no one believes he said himself up and you're a fool for trying to twist this into that Gaslight You didn't say it very well if that's what you meant What yeah, she must have deleted her account Yeah, you did not say it very well if that's what you meant if that is what you were trying to say Well, you did a bad job of expressing yourself You can't call people morons Because you literally said that he was hit with a bullet because he's desperate to stay out of prison like that can be Interprety in a lot of ways.
1:15:45This is end of the thing about the AI voice thing so play this I Know you know you're surprised And But it was It's Because you put your heart and soul in the name Okay, no listening Let's just go on old 11 labs and see if that's really all they probably used for this so I Love it nerds cannot be stopped Very likely probability 98 % they didn't really try But but he's 98 % to mark to like soon The kind of the fucking makeups gonna speak I 40 -year -old guy would have them 40 -year -old hands like I had young man hands. He didn't have good man hands Oh, I don't know I don't know, but here's the thing If you have a letter like that, okay, and this is how he resigned to resigns or says he's not gonna run again with a letter The letter does not have a presidential seal on it and the letter has a digital signature on it, right?
1:17:00That's what it was right Okay Okay, maybe but before that before you got COVID didn't he say that he wasn't gonna quit? He did right so So they killed him well, there's been a lot of weird stuff. We haven't seen him since that right and then he gets COVID And then all of a sudden he says he can't and they also said that they gave him 10 doses of packs Low -vid is that true? Google that because I read that and my fat might might be some Russian troll shit because they might be saying Like they're waiting for doctors to go that would kill him. Why do you give them 10 doses? That's fucking insane They're like whoa, he couldn't kill Trump so now we gotta kill bad.
1:17:37He might have been exposing a glitch Where every few times that app says that it wouldn't anything was created by it Oh, well, here's one way to find out why don't we take a segment of us talking right now Upload it and see if it thinks that we're AI could we do that? I can't do that Go come because we're recording it right now. I have to stop recording it Can we stop recording for just five seconds and then do that? I would take the know no Can I record something on your phone and then maybe you uploaded to that? I'm just curious. I could get a like imagine. I could get an older podcast and do it.
1:18:10Oh, yeah, do that Yeah, put a little chunk up there. Let's see what's up. Wouldn't that how funny would that be? If it's like 98 percent people would be like then here's the new conspiracy. Joe Rogan is AI the government created him That's the whole reason why that show became popular. There is no fucking way They would allow that show to say the crazy shit they did. It's all ops. It's all undercover deep ops Everything's enough controlled opposition That was what they all said about me when I came on the scene when I started writing and talking They were like she's a deep state plants sent to undermine conservatism.
1:18:44Are you? No, here's a thing If you were on the outside looking in you probably would think that that's the case But if you want to pay attention to the way this whole administration is going pay attention to green Same Peter whatever the fucker name is the white house press secretary accidentally tweeting Trump's post from her account wrong account remember that man She did that yeah, this isn't competence And you look at the like the crew of people that's responsible for the press in the White House They're all like young kids. Yeah, all young kids first job and she's her boss their boss Okay, and then you look at that guy that was the fucking Sam Brinton that was stealing women's clothes and He was in charge of nuclear energy Every where you look peat booty judge all these people it's incompetence.
1:19:30Oh, I know massive incompetence glued together I don't think there's this service. I don't think there's a grand plan I think this is what my husband always says a bunch of really incompetent people scheming and clump and banging heads and not knowing what to do and arguing with each other and afraid to lose their job Chaos and a dude who's 40 years old in a Biden true and that's And also the deep state conspiring behind all of it to make it look like it's just these incompetent dummies They think that everybody's somehow or another like some sort of a plan But I wish I could tell you where you would understand me and believe me.
1:20:05I think Most of the things that you think are like deep state or not I think this whole thing is way more chaotic than we give it credit for It's not as easy as like they're manipulating us. They're controlling us Yeah, they're fucking trying for sure, but it's not working anymore and that's part of the problem Right, it's like before in the past no one had Internet search access to how much money Nancy Pelosi was making you'd be like all right They just did it. They were doing it forever. They just did it that way and no one knew right Except the people that also did it right they were doing it too That's which is why they never call each other out right they're all bunch of criminals So now that we all know that like this is all everything's been exposed to the point where they want to keep just to find the way They're doing things they got to be very clever about it So I can't wait to find out the results whether or not I'm AI you are AI Imagine I was if the world is a simulation I might be AI I was talking to a family member about like just the incompetence and and Secret service stuff and hiring these people and they're at a at a in like a their fireman basically and They were telling me that they had to hire like an odd and actual he's like none of these are wise They had to hire an autistic kid and he's like this kid hides in the bathroom and Takes naps during the day, but once you kind of hire these you know neurodivergent people or whatever You can't really fire them so they had to like track it and like keep and he said another guy They hired who was like something wasn't right got into minor fender bender and one of the trucks and like froze up And he's like this is a first responder Who froze up when they got into and wouldn't get out of the truck and he's like I'm not making He's like how am I supposed to fucking work with this shit?
1:21:57That's crazy and he's that he was saying the same thing about the secret service and all that He's like this is a woman who like what she worked you know, she was like buds with gel and She was like from Pepsi before and instead of putting like some marine in charge. Okay. Look Do they ran the sample very unlikely? So it was right probability of 2 .0 percent It's very unlikely this audio was generated with 11 labs For the audience to do it a few times and see if it keeps doing it or well Try a few times, but now we also need to do an AI gender But hold on a second that that makes sense Like that means it's accurate.
1:22:32So what I was said the this guy said This is the guy who made the original tweet right This is the guy who posted the goofy little glitch that makes 11 labs say his voice was AI generated once every few tests Okay, this is the guy who posted the goofy little glitch Okay, so this was a funny shower Thought Which yourselves and the entire internet placed a near infinite more about of thought what This person is drunk person is out of their fucking mind Into then I did Please carry about your business About a thought even about being did fucking AI write this maybe You could yours truly the guy whose cringy jokes often go way too far and the internet scares me Please help okay, he was just fucking around maybe But the point is that you we can't listen anything he's saying though and take it seriously The other thing though sounded like AI to me.
1:23:29It sounded like there's a weird if you could play it again Well, no, there's a weird fake Expression there's a There's a smell like when you you hear it. There's a smell like there's a bunch I know it's hard because you put your heart and soul in the name There's it just seems There's something the heart and soul into me. It's like it's like something into me. It's like it's a robot talking It's it's ex Machina. It's not a person. Yeah, but it's like triggering your uncanny valley. Yeah, it's triggering my bullshit meter Yeah, now I 100 % I'm only saying this because he's missing I would not miss it if I had not seen except for the guy in the If he's if if there was a time where there was no question about whether Joe Biden was alive and I heard that I would go.
1:24:28Oh, that's probably Joe Biden Just in you know just for full disclosure Do you think that some accident will have are like oh a medical emergency before the speech? But well, that's what Alex Jones is saying Alex Jones is saying they failed to kill Trump So now they're gonna kill Biden because they can't have him run against Trump because he can't beat Trump But if Trump got shot Biden would win at a landslide I was playing something that I think was you was telling me about it was Alex I think And my husband's like turn that off He's like Bridget I can send you a 17 tweet thread debunking the first two minutes of that from a guy in the army I'm like, okay, my husband needs to get redpilled He's he's just a skeptic he thinks he doesn't attribute to malice what he can attribute to you to To incompetence he Well, that's smart But also malice is real so you have to look at both and you can't be biased in one side or other Well, I think that's why we make a good balance because I'm like no, it's a conspiracy Well, I don't think everything's a conspiracy because I know that some conspiracies that I've personally been accused of being involved in Aren't real so I'm like okay, so people are just suspicious.
1:25:35I think there's a lot of suspicion and Also rightly so right how can you not be? There's these are 100 % real By the way, I can probably think of three episodes that you and I have done where we talked about how Biden was too old And we got called conspiracy theorists for saying that I had a Tax message from a friend who's saying don't you know that Biden as a stutter? I go when did he get this stutter? Because if you go and listen to him when he was running for president in 1988 Spoke smooth. Yeah smooth is silk Check this out this person says they recreated the phone call using AI And it's I get's apparently it sounds a lot like it Okay, and then go on to win the win the and I've been honored and hug that's not him.
1:26:21So that's somebody else's voice Hmm all right Okay, I mean maybe they're trying to prove a point But either way we know for sure that AI is real AI can make use say Basically anything they want to say we've done it with me. Oh, yeah, who does it all the time? Duncan Duncan will have like Tony Hitchcliffe apologizing for things that he never did and admitting that he's a rainy street assassin and I love don't get I love I love his standoff too. I love it. It's just like I love his long Like I want to be in his brain. I want to crawl into his brain. You can't get in there I'm gonna crawl into his brain and look around you you get a contact high just smell of his brain But he he did a thing with Johnny Pemberton where Johnny Pemberton pretended to be like a CIA undercover agent or something like that They changed his voice.
1:27:15They changed his appearance. They changed everything wow in video in real time So he's taught so it's you know what Johnny looks like so it's Johnny Pemberton He looks like a 12 year old kid and he looks like a completely different person He's saying absolutely ridiculous shit and it sounds like this other person's voice and this is all like you could be You know Morgan Freeman. Yeah, you could start talking and they could have AI Take your voice convert it to Morgan Freeman's voice take your image take every expression you make opening your mouth every smile You make and convert it into Morgan Freeman doing the exact same things.
1:27:49This is why There's no pictures of my kid on the internet. Yeah, I There was this creepy video going around and they took all these pictures of this nine year old and it was like in Norway somewhere and they grew her up had her talking had her and because of parents and posted all this stuff and she was like asking for them to come right it My most judgy mom opinion and I don't have many is like we know too much to be doing to put our kids online before they're able to Like whatever was there because it's not there. You're it's it's not they can't understand what you're doing first of all With AI yeah, you can't know how there's You're about to shit.
1:28:33They do in Japan. They're having like a huge problem with like turning these images people are putting of their kids into Child porn of course. It's like a huge fucking problem. Of course. They're doing that with Everybody I'm guaranteed every fucking human being that is out there on Facebook and Instagram Yeah, yeah, someone's turned you into a porn oh film. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just It's crazy. I was it's crazy. I mean, they that was a big problem with celebrities right They were taking celebrities and face while being them and turning them into porn stars Yeah, and there's no I mean there was like a whole thing in Beverly Hills about all these There were these teenagers were doing it to each other as like you know, they were all just being me teens and It's crazy.
1:29:13I don't know how you even there and there aren't laws against it which there should but I don't even know how you litigate it It would have to get ahead of it and they can't the it's too late. No, I like can't all the technologies out there And then there's also not enough people that understand it that are in the government and it's like whack -a -mole Like you just you get rid of one and it pops up 10 other places right now. You're gonna get rid of the ones that are in other countries Yeah, no, it's not it's not you just use a fucking VPN Log into that other country. Yeah download it. No, it's bad.
1:29:44It's wild. No, it's wild. It's only gonna get wilder Yeah, this is like I mean Elon talks about this all the time like how it's just the dawn of this Yeah Did you see this video yesterday about the with Jordan? Which one where he was talking about what happened to his kid and how Elon yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's emotional. It's horrible I yeah, I think a lot of people have become kind of I mean for like for a better word red -filled by that kind of stuff and they should be yeah the new California thing. Oh Did you explain to people what it is? I mean, so it's so nuts you hear it and you go there's no way they did this There's no way they took away power from the parents.
1:30:32Yeah, but no no way they don't inform the parents That I mean that it kind of been going on, but now they've they've just put it into law that you essentially don't have to You know the the people who would fight against it would say oh they're outing these kids to their parents But basically a kid can go in and call themselves jack if they're Jill and at home And the school doesn't have to tell the parents that they're identifying as a boy that they're They're doing that they're addressing that they're called being called by a completely different name There's no requirement It's just so crazy to me and I'm sure Scott weeners behind this because he's behind every creepy ass bill in that state It's crazy to me that you are telling adults to keep secrets About the kids from the parents like that's generally something that's a huge red flag It's a huge red flag and you're you're also you have activists who are teachers.
1:31:29That's a fact Yeah, that's a fact a lot of the teachers are teachers specifically because They want to be able to influence young kids. That's a fact Yeah, some of them are really good teachers and they have this idea They're going to help these kids and influence these kids in a positive way and some of them Are fucking crazy people that are locked into an ideology and they want to convert these kids into that that ideology Yeah, you have five years old and six year old kids you shouldn't have fucking pride flags in the school That's ridiculous if you have this big pride display in the school and everyone's wearing rainbows You're you are incentivizing kids to think that going in one direction or the other is better You're you're pushing them you're you're influencing them in a weird way and you might be a fucking crazy person Well, it's also like Helen Joy said she had this brilliant clip.
1:32:14She she was talking about how And there's no way out if you're a parent who's supported this like every time you hear about somebody who's advocating for this legislating it You know kids being able to get puberty blockers or whatever it's somebody who has a kid of their own and she was saying Such a brilliant clip She was basically saying like you They're doubling down because it's that or admit that they've done a horrific thing to their child right Yeah, that's what it is. It's no it's the same thing with people that got COVID and got vaccine injured and didn't want to tell people Just say that happened a lot.
1:32:52Yeah, oh, I know people that got vaccine injured. Look Chris Cuomo Oh right, right vaccine injured and didn't talk about it until CNN fired You know, we're like guess what I'm one of you It's like fires does not pay him for my checks anymore Yeah, the whole thing is just a again a normal pattern of human behavior and thinking and this This whole Queer trans to a b i t plus thing. It's it's all attached to an ideology and And the crazy thing for a lot of gay people is they are looking at this trans thing a lot of gay people that I talked to they think it's homophobic Oh, yeah a lot of these guys who think that their girls will eventually just be gay men Yeah, and that a lot of them go through it during puberty and When you are telling them that they really are It gonna live their authentic self and you're saying things like this these right the gay way these after it is a very similar It's the same thing.
1:33:50That is the same thing right it's conversion therapy I mean there I did a whole piece how pride lasts the public and it was I interviewed like Douglas Murray all these brilliant I wish I could have just posted every interview I did with all these individuals because they're also brilliant But it was there all these guys of all been sound and women have all been sounding the alarm And lesbians are really getting erased, you know, you go on a lesbian app and it's like I Joked on dumpster fire in like 2019 that we're on our way to like suck my dick big it and now we're heat like we've been there for years I mean, it's a lot of men who identify as being a woman who say they're a lesbian.
1:34:25Yeah, which is crazy They're not even but my lesbian friends are like they're not even identifying. They're just straight up men on the lesbian app saying like I'm a lesbian. Yeah, yeah, they're not even trying to look like You want to date with them and they just have lipstick on high like what I like girls So yeah, they're we try to say you fucking big it. Oh fuck you in your ass like wait What are you saying? It's not good so nuts and it's also like these some of these people who identify as women They think that because they're a woman it's okay to punch other women. I've seen a lot of Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah like Transwomen getting in fist fights with biological women like what is going on here?
1:35:14It's so crazy. It's It's I think it's lost a lot of support though. Don't you think do you feel like it has or no? Yeah, it's lost a giant chunk But there's still a lot of really Confused people that don't know what's going on They read mainstream newspapers and rarely they work in a bubble Generally, it's like a liberal bubble. They work in a bubble that's also influenced by DEI It's also influenced by you know the culture of the workforce in general and then these people they don't hear everything They don't get all the data. They don't have time to research these things So it takes them a lot longer to catch on that what a lot of this is is mentally ill people that are trying to infiltrate into women's spaces Yeah, that's a that's a lot of it.
1:36:04So there's you and the kids are like legitimate gender dysphoria Yeah, that really want to be identifying as a woman and then you have creeps Yeah, and to not identify the creeps and to pretend the creeps don't exist You're not fucking helping anybody by the way you should be protecting these women in prisons You should yeah, it's like rape shelters and women shelters You just have these guys who are like to think that someone who's a predator and has committed crimes wouldn't try and Manipulate the system. Yeah, it's like oh, I don't understand that will fall after we get off there I'll tell you my bit about it because it's so stupid the whole thing is so nuts It's just so nuts that it's so pervasive that it's actually made its way into prisons What made it's way into remember that it's a pre -incorporate lady when they asked her Katanji brown Jackson.
1:36:49Uh -huh. Oh, yeah, I couldn't answer like what a woman is Yeah, but all these people should be on record when you when the problem that we're having is that people need to push Anyone who's saying oh, this is just gender -affirming care So what exactly is that I want you on record explaining what that is yeah, so you you're okay with giving kids puberty blockers so that they may not be able to have children or orgasms or X amount of thing have you had had any deach the most I've talked to a lot of people in the past however many years that I've done my podcast and The ones that sat with me the most and the most upsetting are all the deacharanges Though like kid de transgestioners.
1:37:33I've had on the podcast. They're those interviews are so hard and upsetting and it is fucking criminal that there is even more than like 10 and they're churning them out. Yeah, and there's the number of gender Affirmation care clinics that exist in this country But by the way Europe is like pushing back against it and we're not and a lot of it is because Europe does have the you know like universal Yeah, so they actually have to follow science because otherwise they're all paying for it exactly Yeah, and here's just like a captured money grab like you to start well you and not not just that but what you alluded to earlier that you Have to take All those people that had done this now they're in trouble.
1:38:19Yeah, like now people can get sued the lawsuits I hope it's sued well That's the only literally in this country that feeds off of money. It's the only way that's gonna stop it Yeah, let's listen. You have to recognize folks that this is a country that did Lobotomies. Yeah until what 1965 or something like that Something crazy like that It might have been like 68. I think it was 1968 Google Jamie when do they end lobotomies they did Who knows how many thousands of Lobotomies well, that's like all the women who got put in mental wards for hysteria 67 67 yeah, that's not that long ago. That's not that long ago.
1:39:01No No, it's so they had to end with the death of the person it was performed on that was it They're like enough don't scramble brains like listen. We plucked up one person. We made a few really cool people Walter Jackson Freeman the second what What portal of hell does that guy find himself in today He when did he die he died in 72 so is his idea So he died shortly after it was made illegal he fucking missed it he missed prosecution The idea that he performed 3500 100 people and 490 of them died as a result of the treatment. Do they still do electro shock therapy? Yep Yep 490 people died and the rest of them just got turned into vegetables.
1:39:56Yeah, so 310 just got turned into fucking squash Oh my god so crazy how many people are lobotomies in the 50s almost oh my god performing the United States it's a proportionally more in the United Kingdom a large number of patients were Oh my god they scrambled their brain to get the gay out of there. That's worse than brave a gay way. Yeah, scramble the Jesus Christ. Scalpel the gay way Jesus Christ. Oh man. Oh, and you stayed awake during it. Oh my god Movie pie where he gives himself a lobotomy or whatever it did spoiler alert Do you see that pot pie? No, I did that movie he gave himself a I feel like at the end of that movie.
1:40:45I don't want to spoil it Might have just spoiled it Yeah, thinking of some guy that invented something insane Somewhere in the UK and eventually he was tried for being gay God, I wish I could remember what it was It's like on the tip in the back of my brain. I'm like that guy. Remember that guy. Remember that story some guy this like incredible Alan Turing that's it Alan Turing that's it. That's the robot thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so Like pass that yet Pull that up pull that up like what happened to him Okay, so here it is there are a number of high -profile rest and trials including that of scientist mathematician and wartime code breaker Alan Turing Convicted in 1952 of gross indecency He accepted treatment with female hormones chemical castration as an alternative to prison Turing committed suicide in 54 Oh my god How crazy again not that long ago not that long ago and that sounds today insane.
1:41:53Yeah, guess what you fucks That's what's gonna sound like 50 years from now when people start talking about what you did to kids Yeah, no and they're not going up Yeah homosexuality remained illegal until 1967 in England and Wales and until 1980 in Scotland holy shit Scotland When 1966 marriage was defined as between a man and a woman preventing future same -sex marriages So they put a law in the books in 1866 and Scotland over a hundred years later. What about here though? When did it become That's a good question Why remember in 2013 United States 2013 Democrats were saying that it should be between a man and woman.
1:42:38That's what marriage is marriage But it was illegal in the states wasn't it yeah, yeah, but imagine that imagine Democrats saying that marriage should be between a man and a woman 2003 wow, okay, we were way behind Scotland. Sorry Scotland. Sorry if you give you a hard time you guys are so far ahead of us I was feeling like we were we were pretty behind I was on fear factor Okay 2003 gay rights proponents had another bit of happy news You know supreme court in Lawrence versus Texas struck down the states anti -sotomy law. Oh, okay So it wasn't like illegal to be gay was illegal to do gay stuff Might mean same bang You have to do the bench appear method You could be gay.
1:43:25Don't just don't do it Yeah Oh my god Yeah, but so it's was never illegal to be gay in the United States Of course it was it had to been absolutely illegal, but no just joking aside Sodomy laws are that makes it being gay legal aren't there still some on the books. They're still like weird Sodomy profanity laws that are on the books and probably some weird style wouldn't be mass -tuced No, they have weird stuff on the books like I remember reading about this I don't know if they still have it, but it was like you could the reason you couldn't have sororities and certain places is because like Seven no it was considered like a Coven like too many women living in a house yeah, which is they probably want to track their menstrual cycles It's fucking dirty witches.
1:44:13Oh, so I this podcast. I was listening to she was saying that I've never known this I've always wondered but her I guess she's some like neuroscientist woman and I can't remember a name right now she was saying that it's because Men would have to impregnate as many people as they could because if they went out and hunted sometimes They wouldn't even come back. They go like find another similar tribe and just stay with them Jesus And so they had to in order to like keep up the you know population They had to make sure that they could impregnate as many women at the same time And that's why women cycles sync up hmm I always thought it was just like people being competitive like one woman was like I'm gonna bleed you're all gonna fucking bleed It's all interesting theories because you know so many of the things That people did back in the day were based on this fact that human beings in lid very long right And that infant mortality was really high You know like they had a lot of Fertility rituals that they do back then yeah, yeah I think my name is the Irish goddess of fertility She explains how I got pregnant in 43 You want to fund law for Texas?
1:45:27Yes, I have a Possession of more than six dildos Is perfected yeah, you greedy. You don't even have six holes you greedy fuck Obsied device laws declares it a crime to possess six or more obscene devices or Identical or similar obscene articles so you can have like six butt fuck magazines But I think you can still get married as cousins in certain states too These infernal Devices include dildos so in Texas you can legally own more guns This is an article on mental floss and it's like top 10 weird sex laws that are still in place I mean, but first sense so in Texas you can legally own more guns and display them in public Then you can sex toys as some dildo wielding campaigners pointed out I don't want to know what that dildo You can't get married in Nebraska if your partner is essentially transmitted disease You can't see if you got the herps you get the herps.
1:46:23That's a wrap You can't cohabitate North Carolina You can't have a person hold on With a person with a with a partner if the couple is unmarried what yeah It's illegal to live with a partner if the couple is unmarried So you can't live in North Carolina with a boyfriend or girlfriend for real you can't have sex with them and six states six Which states Utah Idaho Illinois Massachusetts Mississippi In South Carolina in South Carolina a false promise of marriage can land you in jail This is how I hear this still in fornication laws with basically a decree all forms of non marital sex illegal But these laws are rarely enforced right?
1:47:06I'm fucking get rid of them Why you got laws on whether or not people can jerk each other off Don't flant your booby pillows in Kern County, California Oh, what's up in Kern County? Oh booby pillows Thousand feet of a highway what does that mean? Flashing your titties on the side of the road I think literal like tit pillow like a boob pillow like a pillow like boobs Boob pillows Public articles hold on public sale of articles depicting female breasts. No, it is a boob pillow Like a dumb sale of stuffed object stuffed objects. No one has booby pills. I've seen booty pillows So you can't so those are illegal and so they the problem is Pass your buys can't talk about polygamium is sippy you can't sit sell them by the side of the road That's what the law is what the fuck were booby pillows for I never heard of them till 13 seconds ago I don't know.
1:48:03I mean, this is just stupid. It's just little girls and dudes like guys have rubber nuts hanging from their fucking trail hitch It's also just north of LA apparently is it legal to have rubber nuts hanging from your trail hitch? Is that legal in Texas? Let's find out that only you encounter is a dildo.

I've been here now Have we talked since I've been I've been here since I almost a year like a little over here. I don't think you've been on the podcast in the last year Oh, it's been since you moved here. Oh, yeah, I think you're a California dwelling back then. Oh Yeah, this is I love it. I love it It's great out here. Yeah, I love it But I also love like all the friends I have and the friends that are here and everybody's coming here and Making friends out in the burbs like people are moving out though They said that in 2023 more people for the first time left Austin then moved here.

Oh, no, no, no, they did they did they passed the housing thing and they're actually going down They passed a bill to like open up for building more housing and the rents are going down and Austin every time you hear about people getting A lot of my friends have gotten rent like deductions in the past year really and a lot of people are leaving I had two people in my little basic bitch suburb. They were like on in the Facebook community, which I love just I love it It's like the drama. I love just watching it um They were like we're getting the fuck out of here.
1:50:04I'm going back to California And I was like where are you going? Thank you. They're like it's too hot and they're like sac or men Oh, I'm like but like Sacroman I think I'd be like the beach or something, but how different is sac or men? Oh from it's pretty hot But it's a dry heat. It's a different kind of notice and people. I don't know. Well out of Californians came here and are leaving Just because the heat yeah, I know pussies. I know. It's nothing. I truly know that bad my husband loves that we're out there We are front become became really good friends of the side serfs You know they did yeah the cake people and they're they're like our they're our good homies and we celebrate We're just we like are living such a it's such a like Weirdly per American life like we go to the We go have like barbecues and you know our kids play like it's it's so I'm not looking over my shoulder for like crazy people every second And why people move to the suburbs no the suburbs are great.
1:51:05Yeah, when you have kids especially if you want quiet Oh, there's so quiet out there. That's what you want. Yeah, you you're better off with a little bit of quiet And you can see the stars like my my daughter is just like obsessed with space She's like that is that sat she knows all the planet. She's just like She's thriving which is all I can ask for is there? I want to live on an hour outside. Yeah me too But I can't one hour out and drive in for shows and that's it. Yeah, I can't I can't yeah I mean this was bait. We got because my husband was like let's go further And I was like that will be prohibitive to everything I want to do and so we had to kind of split the difference He would be he would be further out just putting good spots to live out here though.
1:51:47It's good It's you know you can blow a half -hour outside and still be cool like we're red band lives. It's real quiet That's I'm out by them. Yeah, it's great. It's great. It's beautiful out there. Yeah, and there's not a great restaurant Yeah, it's a nice place to live It's also like a really amazing place to comedy now. Oh the scene is so So first time in our lifetime where a scene is emerged I wonder why um so weird crazy who's behind that no it's it is actually Doing it and like being around all the young hungry like it's I've fallen in love with it in a way that I did when I first started it You know, it's just seeing how and it's also just so diverse actually ideologically diverse Austin is a weird place You just don't with all of like your audiences.
1:52:35They're all tourists and then the local audiences you never really know It's not like when I was in LA I kind of knew what I was dealing with or if you were outside of it, you know in Valencia You knew also what you were dealing with here. You're like man. It's a smatter. It's truly like a purple kind of Town it's an interesting place Yeah, it's exciting. It's just way better than California where we were living We're living also in a place that was captured by the entertainment industry and that you realize like that has a toxic radioactive glow That affects everything it touches it does whether you think you're in the music business or you think you're in the entertainment business So you I'm not I'm not a performer.
1:53:17I'm not trying to get famous You're everyone's affected by what you're trying to accomplish Yeah, all the people on the outside that work in other supportive industries like that place is defined by the the main goal of people that move There's to somehow another make it right right here. It feels very art devoted You know, it has that Austin kind of like keep it weird and the people seem very That's the other thing I've noticed everyone's very supportive It's not so like cutthroat and it felt I don't know it doesn't feel well comedies like that now You know comedies like it's not what it used to be it used to be very cutthroat But we realized somewhere along the line that we became we're assets.
1:53:57We're not like competitors And the competitors are good the people that are like rising up they they give you inspiration. Oh right. It's all good for you But there's like room that's the thing that feels like you go to all these different shows You know homeless Pimp he's doing he's doing a whole documentary on the scene. It's really cool He's like going out to open mics with like young people who moved here People have been in 20 years who are moving here. It's really cool. Yeah Well a lot of people that like weren't getting the attention the day deserve somewhere else came here and other thriving like Brian Holtzman Perfect example Brian Holtzman was just not getting the love he deserved and now he's got sold out shows Yeah, and people come to see him because he's crazy Just like they want to see and there's a lot of the Tyler Fisher is another one Yeah, these guys weren't getting any attention where they were and they're really good You know and there's more of those there's a lot more out of the medsker.
1:54:49Mezzker is another one. Mezzker. Yeah It's not like he's here now. He's land out here. Mezzker moved here. Oh, yes. He's here now. No He told me when I saw him we went out to dinner when they were in town and he said that they were thinking about it He's here now. Oh nice. Yeah, I'm so happy Kim's here now too nice. Yeah She just did a show kill Tony last night. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's the newest Austin resident. Yeah, Kim has a real chance She has a real chance Kim went up in front of me in She's from Orlando and I was doing a gig in Orlando. She's gonna be there visiting her family. She asked to do a set I'm like, yeah, for sure.
1:55:24I'm like, I know what sat and washed she fucking murdered. I mean murdered I would have thought she was gonna be way further ahead Yeah, yeah, I think it was like eight years ago like eight years later But sometimes people they just they just they're not quite focused the right way They don't get nothing kind of catches and she moved to New York for a while and but now she's out here Yeah, she's got a real chance. Yeah, she's I love her. We were just in the green room together. She's very funny dying laughing Very funny. Yep. I'm excited. It's just like it feels when I first moved to LA and was in the scene and it was uh, I had Troy Conrad on my podcast and we were talking about when we were like when uh It was like Tuesday nights and Rose battle was starting and Killtoni was starting and you were back and it was like this electric time at the comedy store And he was saying, you know, you were aware like this is Special you're capturing something special.
1:56:18Yeah, and I feel that way about now too. There's just something Special, you know happening in Austin with comedy and seeing it feels That was the thing about LA. I'm like, I feel like I'm driving around a city on hospice it just feels like a city that's like Not doing well and here it's vibrant and there's growth and there's all kinds of different scenes and there's tech and there's like It's just a lot of music a lot of music. So much like music. It feels very vibrant and alive Well, it's a lot of it is because people were just fed up with California and they moved out here and they all came together And it's all these similarly minded people that wanted to be free to do the fun thing and then really also Extra appreciated it now that it was taken away from them for a while And then now they have the best place to do it ever.
1:57:11Yeah, and it feels very it's probably more libertarian than anything else Yeah, you know, it's more libertarian. There's very few conservatives in comedy and even the liberals They're not if you want to be good like you can't be you can't be like full leftist Can't do it. It's your hand -cuffing yourself. It's like running with weights on like what are you doing? What are you trying to do? You try it like you can talk about stuff that you believe in on podcasts? All right, but you're doing a specific art form stand up comedy is a very specific art form And the goal is to make people laugh. Yeah, therefore comedy.
1:57:44Yeah, it's not stand up prostilizing Yeah, you know, it's not it's not stand up virtue claptor I did a joke by Andrew T once and I got like claptor and I was like I'm never doing that joking Hey, that joke's done. Yeah, it's funny. I don't I don't ever want to claptor. Oh god some people love it They just lean towards it and like their punch lines are like spaced out for claptor like Yeah, but that's like you're you're evangelizing. Yeah, they're just not good. That's all it is They're just not good at comedy. I don't want to evangelize I don't want but they're only evangelizing because they're not good at comedy, right?
1:58:19They're not evangelizing because they have the really unique perspective that is like that people listen to like Bill Hicks or something You go wow, oh my god. I never thought about that way Now it's clunky Dog shit idea from a lazy person. That's not good at comedy and the reason why you suck at this whole virtue Signalling things the same reason why you suck at comedy like you don't have unique thoughts You haven't examined your mind enough you haven't really tried to figure out what's actually funny versus what you want the audience to think of you Which is a lot of what people are doing. Yeah, my good faith interpretation, I guess would be that they are believers like they're actually Believers and their ideology or whatever and they don't really realize they're Prostlilizing they think that they're they're making jokes about Sort of informative, right, but you have to always run that you go to always run that through this filter and the filter is If you're not good at comedy and you don't have a career in comedy and struggling in comedy trying to get better at comedy You are constantly trying to get positive reactions from the audience and if you can't get positive reactions through humor You will get it through saying something that you think everybody believes in right right?
1:59:31I mean so it's a trick Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like a shortcut. It's a shitty trick that works. Yeah, yeah, it's like wearing lipstick and shit in the women's It's a shitty trick that works It doesn't mean that everybody doesn't know what the fuck is going on, you know So there's what like there's also kind of a just goofy alt scene that I love and there's rire camera man She works I think she works in mothership, but I've seen her at Creek in the cave. She has a Thursday night and she does this bit I am obsessed with it about how she's like a deer is don't give away the bit. I'm not gonna give it away Okay, it's so you know and could do this bit It's only her, but she is like she's so original so adorable I'm like we must protect her at all costs.
2:00:20She's just I Every time she gets up and the audience never knows what because They just don't know like what to do all the time with her Which is the I'll be in the back just dying laughing and the audience is like what is happening right now But she is I mean she's so special. She's so special. That's awesome. Yeah, there's a lot of different Kind of comedy that's what I love yeah, it's it's a real meritocracy You know and one of the things that Adam when Adam came over from the comedy store He was dealing with a lot of pressure people are saying why don't you have x amount of blank on the lineup x amount of women X amount of gay people x amount of trans people were really giving him a hard time but everything There's and they were he was worried that he was gonna get in trouble like people were gonna attack him and write articles about him And you know When he came here specifically I said dude everybody's welcome, but they have to be funny.
2:01:13Yeah, it's really that simple It's a complete meritocracy. Yeah, we're not gonna say let's get more women No, we're gonna give all the women that want a chance to go on open mic nice. Yeah, everybody has a chance Yeah, you go up you if you get better you get asked to do showcase shows. Yeah, there's a whole there's a real genuine system And having a genuine talent coordinator like Adam who really watches he sits down the bed Watches who's the air last night watching sets. He watches people progress He watches the door people progress. He watches all the new people come in Great feedback when you get off.
2:01:46Yeah, I love that premise like it's so helpful You know, this is someone who watches this shit all day long someone whose best friends at Norma Donald Yeah, he really understands oh, yeah, he and also he's hilarious when I sit there back there with him He'll make these comments that are funnier than anything that like people are saying on stage Very funny he can hang but the point is like he really Take cares about his job and his job is free of all the mandates Yeah, all he has to do is find funny people yeah, and look at what happens when you do that The lineup is so diverse. Yeah, if you look at all the different people on like showcase nights and different people Like you're gonna see every type of Gay straight black white Asian tall short fat skinny Everything whatever the fuck from different parts of the world All you have to do is be good at this thing.
2:02:33We're all trying to do. We don't care You're you're one of the family no matter what you are as long as you can do this thing We're doing yeah, if you can't do this thing We're doing like either figure it out or I don't know what to tell you and there's so much opportunity There's so many shows now. Yeah, it is crazy. It's like it's it's yeah, it's amazing There's like black rabbit and there that room is amazing Just five room the game. Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful and people can walk from and do set to set and guys are doing four five sets a night Yeah, it's like New York. It is it is.
2:03:06It's a it's a unique thing and it's only just begun. Yeah, I mean It's only existed for a couple years Yeah, really there was a small scene here was a few good comics that were here and you know, they just didn't have the same push And they also didn't have the same group of killers. They didn't have Shane Gillis moving it down Yeah, it's here Tim Dylan's got a place here Tony's here Brian Simpson's here Ron white is here. Yeah, it's like there's so Thompson Gur is here Christina Christina peas here. There's so many fucking people. I'm trying to talk about it and moving here We're trying to lure Whitney to come here.
2:03:40Yeah, Louis Whitney's a tough tough cookie to crack I'm trying to do a joke the other day on Instagram though, but she's like this is why I'm leaving and it was like I Then has straight men left. Yeah, she'll come eventually. There's where we've got more and more that are coming and it's there's plenty room for everybody Yeah, a lot of sets. Yeah, two shows a night in each room. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's so much fun And the staff at that place is amazing. Yeah, I mean Carrie. I'm obsessed with Carrie. She is like a woman so close to my heart I would go to war for her and All the whole staff is so like they seem so they're like happy to be there.
2:04:23They're so lovely. They're so cool I don't know. It's like a nice It's a good vibe. It's not yeah, we stole the heart of the commie store We still we stole the best people We didn't steal them though. They were all unemployed. It was really perfect time Yeah, it wasn't like we poached them from the comedy store when the comedy store needed a job They needed a job and the commie store wasn't gonna be open for another year and a half Like those people all came over here when there was nothing going on Yeah, they were all now they're employed. Yeah, and the way we did it It was almost like the universe wanted it to happen like the universe wanted all these little things to fall into place to motivate people to get the Fuck out of there all these things that fall into place were all of a sudden you're in this town and There's buildings that are available.
2:05:05There's like all these buildings available I know but you we I remember so vividly doing your podcast in 2020 I think it was May of 2020 because it was like They're caught in the height of another crazy cycle like right now and You were like I have a vision you were you had a vision He's much as like oh it all kind of lined up and like you said on that podcast. I have a vision. You just knew Yeah, I shouldn't have visions like that And I shouldn't even believe in that Not like a vision like I saw God. I mean like no no no no. I mean I'm saying like even like Yeah, I had an idea. Yeah, I had an idea.
2:05:46Yeah I mean is that I probably should just done it and not told everybody Told everybody out of vision. I wonder like how much of that like because people believe in that right? They believe in vision boards and manifesting things this was this podcast. I was listening to she's all about this like Like it's the mirror neurons and like you you put it into the world But also I think you have to like you have to get people excited about an idea So whether it's an idea or a vision or whatever you want to call it people need to be it helps to have people kind of excited But I don't think you I think you said that and then just when it did it Yeah, I would think you were like on every podcast talking about your vision No, but here's the other thing I'm saying is like the number one thing that I've been most successful at I had zero vision for that's this yeah Zero vision when people like did you anticipate it was ever going to be the way it is like no no never thought about it never dreamed never tried Wasn't just kept doing it that's it some of it too is just like Consistency and right place right time.
2:06:47There's a lot of those things that's why like I should believe in fate I really should and you don't I don't what do you believe in I don't know I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's there's like I don't know what it is. I don't I don't think it's as simple as fate because I don't think it's truly determined. I think there's Possibilities and these possibilities they open up and your energy and your thoughts Sort of synchronize with these possibilities and that's what excites you and it expands and then you follow up on your Your instincts and your like you like what's the the correct way to approach this and then it you put more energy and more Intensity into it and then it all accelerates and other people sort of join in and you collect like -minded people that also have their thoughts and their energy and they push towards this thing And when you're doing it right good things happen and that's what I think it is and so I should think it's fate But I also think it's a man it's not a manipulation of the right word.
2:07:55It's a synchronization With your Whatever you really are like whatever your real thoughts are Whatever your real intention is what are you trying to do? I get that this Synchronation with all of it as much as it is like a vision of like we're gonna we're gonna have the best comedy club in the world like We didn't really think that no We thought we were going to just open up a club and let's hope it works. Yeah, my goal was like let's not go broke Like I don't want to lose any money. That's all my goal was right? I believe it No, it's really like stated like we talk about it like I'm not trying to make money I'm 100 % trying to not lose money and that's it yeah and everything else is gravy and then set it up right for the comedians Like the most important thing is to Look if I care about comedy, which I clearly do Let's set up the best possible environment for comedy to thrive.
2:08:47Yeah And it'll be great for everybody. Yeah, I remember like I I understand that I feel like so much of it is like getting out of your own way to when I first started comedy I would get these opportunities that I would say no to because I told myself I wasn't ready I didn't et cetera et cetera and this time I'm like I'm just saying yes I'm gonna say yes and not get get out of here and just say yes like yes Thank you and Colin asked me you know Colin Quinn asked me to open for him and I was like yes Thank you and I was terrified and I was like I have such bad stage fright as it is just ever since I got sober It's something I deal it Because I used to be drunk all the time and I didn't know until I got sober you get drunk on stage I would be drunk before I even got up, but I got sober was like fuck I have stage fright and it's so bad Joe it's so bad that I'll be like maybe my dog will die Like maybe there will be like when the planes are all getting grounded I'm like maybe Colin was stuck in New York like terrified so you're like trying to avoid the show And I have to just put that aside put it all aside I truly just had to like I got pray get turned it over and it's like it's not about me It's about just like getting it out of my way my job is to like It's it's so you're an antenna And it's just like these people want to have fun and and someone sent me the clip of Because I think my like audience knew I was nervous I didn't announce it or anything, but I did in like my little subscriber community And someone sent me a the clip of you and Sam talking about stand up and how you still got nervous You were saying I stretch and breathe and I do it was but Sam said He has that tattoo.
2:10:34This is fun Yeah, and I was like I wrote it on my sat -list I'm like the it fucking saved me like it was like two days before I'm like I'm just gonna have fun Have fun yeah, and I had so much fun like you can see it on my face in the pictures I love them and Troy was there and it was like It makes sense dev stage fright if you used to get drunk all time It also makes sense to have stage fright if you haven't done a lot of comedy. Yeah, it was a long time before you did comedy again How much time did you dig off? I mean for three years three years. Yeah, it's a long time. I'm like a baby Yeah, but then I did I have been grinding again just quietly working towards you know more and more and more and and it's it's like Uh It's been Ten months, you know, so it was like not like I just got back and was like all right Yes, if that was the case I would have said no Yeah, I have too much respect for you and Adam and all of these other comedie every other comedian that I know to not be ready Yeah to to know that like okay, I can probably handle this Well, you know even like Chris Rock like one of the all -time greats.
2:11:51He took years off Yeah, and then when he came back he had to kind of find his thing. Yeah, you got it I mean, I'm a different person Of course, so I also had to write completely all new material. It wasn't like I could just rely on old stuff It doesn't even connect right. I've had a I've moved. I've had a married woman. I'm not I can't be like back when I was given blowdrab Um, yeah, so it's been and it's very humbling to it was weird too. I can see why people who Do it take a break start doing something else get a name doing something else and then come back to comedy It's like you're I'm a beginner.
2:12:28I'm I feel like a beginner sure Not a beginner. I know what I do wrong the difference is I know when I'm doing something wrong I know what I'm doing well we used to always see that at the comedy store We used to always see people like sitcom stars Yeah, who would come in and they were like I'm gonna try to start doing comedy again And you know did get stacked in there against a bunch of assassins. Yeah, and it would be rough. Yeah like Kramer Michael Richardson. Yeah, yeah, he was doing that like after You went a little crazy. I think I don't know. I think that had something to do with that But um, he was at the comedy store and he it was weird, you know, because he would go on after like real comics Yeah, and then he would like be like falling around on stage and it was like improvised and it wasn't really It wasn't you know, it's 1978.
2:13:14No, no, and it's like the world's a different place, Matt Yeah, and just having like That's the again, it was just like a ego Like having to put aside like okay like whatever Yeah, I'll take three minutes. I'll take five minutes. I'll take I'll drive however a lot like that beginners mind was so necessary and And even like opening for killers like land out just being able to like Have you know, it's a confidence thing too. You have to just like get hit with that over and over and over again Yeah, you have to do the numbers. You have to get back in shape again If you haven't ran in five years, you can't run a marathon.
2:13:53Yeah, you have to start doing yeah, and I love it It's like been so Yeah, I love it. I didn't I was I was like fuck what's a fun time for comedy too because the world's on fire Yeah, well, it's so much crazy, and that's the thing I have I did it because it's like the only time I feel sane You know, I mean I feel sane a lot but when I get on stage and I'm talking It's like my mind is like zen There's just a calm, you know, there's I feel very present in in that like Conversation you're having. It's just I don't know. There's nothing. Yeah, I think it's just I think I fought it for a long time like I just didn't I was like I don't have it.
2:14:39I don't have what it takes. I don't have the chops. I don't have the town all this shit But it's like just get it out. It's garbage It's a hard thing to do you know people don't like hard things that come up with reasons why they don't do hard things Is funny Francis and Gano who's a former UFC heavyweight champion Who's talking about people going to school because they're trying to avoid a job He the way he said it was like sometimes Yeah, they just avoiding working. Oh, yeah, they're staying in school. You're gonna like your p8 second PhD It's exactly what it is. Yeah, true and you're you're still doing something But you are avoiding and those are the people that wind up teaching which is even crazier because they've never really experienced a real world You had their shaping young people to prepare them for the real world.
2:15:23Yeah Oh, and they're just That it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens if trump gets into office How much gets changed how much the society shifts because it does seem like society is shifting away From all the woke stuff and the left wing and even people that were like former lifelong Democrats like Bill Ackman And all these people that are talking about voting for trump Elon all these people that talk about like this what we have to fight against But then they're gonna realize like they're right wing. They're trying to track your periods Well, and they try to bring Jesus back into the schools I've learned from being very wrong on this podcast many times and having the entire world tell me about it That Like she raised a hundred million dollars in a day.
2:16:11Come on right. How much of it came from Satan You mean Hillary Clinton. I mean Satan Satan maybe this Hillary Satan. Say it and say like Where's that money coming from? Oh, allegedly a lot of first -time donors and maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe people were that dumb Maybe they never heard her talk. Maybe I mean last time we were talking about who Last time we were talking I think it was like there's gonna be a red wave and then I was like That one wasn't true. It's interesting Well, because I underestimated how much the abortion thing would would play into it. Yeah, that plays into it a lot But it's almost feels like that's all engineered to keep us like at each other's throat like nothing ever resolved Like there's one of the things that they were thinking when they were banning abortions was gay marriage is gonna be next And some people have openly stated that gay marriage should be next and that that's the thing that they do want to stop Next and I'm like this is like seems fake.
2:17:07Yeah, it seems like if you really care about that that seems crazy I think what you care about is consistently keeping people at each other's throats Right, I wrote this like peace that went crazy viral is like trending on Twitter It was very unexpected about divorce just coming from divorce and I was like hey Divorce sucks just and I and my point was kind of like even as an adult with a kid I didn't realize how much of an effect it has even later in life when you have your own kids things like my siblings vatted you with and People the reaction was like and crazy, but then that kind of counter reaction was from the left.
2:17:45They were like And this is when they're coming after divorce laws and they're trying to say that you base like they're trying to get rid of no fault divorce and We're they're made trying to make it so women need to get approval to get divorced and you saying that they were lumping you Well, they were saying that I was a sent I mean this is like the blue and on stuff where it's like oh you're just they were like you are pay How much of the evangelicals pay you to write this piece? I'm like yes the evangelicals Years ago I got my parents got divorced and I became my deep state plant so that I could write this piece To undermine the divorce laws.
2:18:21That's exactly right. I mean it's like craziness, but that this is um I think a lot of those people aren't even real people. I think a lot of that is bots but a lot of that is like does I mean You have to really consider that when oh deaf. I definitely why I think it's really foolish for people to engage in any sort of disagreements online Thanks so much of the conversations is pushed in one way or another by people that aren't even real people Oh, right. I think those bot farms. Yeah, like all the Seeing them with all the phones. It's not just that That's just they show you that but you don't think our government's doing that you're out of your fucking mind Yeah, if you don't think that they are online posing as progressives having these complex sites with like AI -generated photos of their family there they are That's the every government does it and the goal is to divide and conquer the best way to conquer is to keep us at each other's Threats the best way to keep infringing on our rights is to have you agree with this infringement because this infringement goes against those people that you oppose Which are the people on the other team?
2:19:22Yeah, and that's the dirty dirty dirty trick that people fall for every god Damn time if that's what leads to the downfall of civilizations. How do we get out of it? Mushrooms The only way. I don't know maybe aliens land maybe Donald Trump takes over and everybody starts Doing bong hits out of a fucking American bag Thing what's it called freedom bomb or freedom bomb? Yeah, I I'll vote for whoever stops those freaking wind farms off the coast That's my that's my the wind things nuts They they should have they should have gone down the road of nuclear power plants a long fucking time ago The the thing is people are afraid of them because of Chernobyl and three mile island and they're not like that anymore They're not not only they're not like that anymore It is literally the greenest source of energy that we have they know how to shut them down now There's ways to avoid it.
2:20:10There's even companies that are investing in making batteries out of the waste Did you see all this stuff like with nantucket the beaches were all closed because one of the turbines fell and then the beach was like Getting fiberglass and there's dead whales on black island and all up and down there. I'm like this is a dead whales from from the fucking wind from Shalenberger covers all this he taught he's been doing a whole documentary It's because it's fucking with all their They're like so so on our stuff and it gives off this vibration and it is an equal like these are the fucking save the whales people And they're kept this is killing the whales and it So they killed the whales of the sounds with the windmill things The logical disaster these things they should not be allowed they should be shut down I don't know how they even got through and it's just it is they don't even generate that much electricity one percent That I was watching all hearings in nantucket because they never got to vote on it either This is another one of those things that just like people were like we yeah We need tax cuts and for our company it's GE and or I think it was G And so they were like this is one percent of it generates like one percent extra energy for us Nothing there was a boat that got attacked by a whale today A boat that got flipped over by a whale and actual whale flipped over a boat like yeah, blue whale or an orca I don't know what kind of whale but a big -ass whale a whale whale Yeah, this whale what happens to a whale capsize a boat off the coast of rye new hamster Tuesday Watch that again because it's crazy This is wow whale just jumps up and smashes this boat and flips it over and that guy falls in the water And this kid's like let me get the bug out of here like I don't know what happened and why the whales are attacking both That's saying yellow stones biscuit -based rubs excuse me see the explorer biscuit basin And yellow stone fucking glass thing oh yeah, that's great.
