0:03The Joe Rogan Experience Join my day Joe Rogan podcast my night all day Of course. It's pretty tight. Is it tight you mean? No no no. Okay tight. Nice. Nice. I feel like they're gonna sue me. For the shirt? I don't know. Do you sell it? I'm trying to. I don't think they want to sue anybody. I think they want to keep it on the DL. Especially you. Because you could just go on podcast and talk about it. Not if I'm dead. I could talk about it until I'm dead. Let's see if they haven't killed. If they haven't killed Malice, there's so many people that they haven't killed. I'd be a fun kill though. They just come to the Bronx.

0:47It's like so easy to just kill me. Right. Anybody gets killed in the Bronx. It happens all the time. Nobody cares. Yeah probably. They don't care. Few people would be upset. And then it would go away. Mom. Like Epstein. Yeah. That kind of went away. It did go away. The guy who tried to kill Trump. It kind of went away. It did. Well they didn't like I get choco. Yeah he's dead. Yeah. But now he's gone. Poof gone. No one talks about it. Do you think P. Diddy is in prison waiting for the Clintons to just kill him? Do you think? Every guy would be looking for them. I don't think the Clintons were involved with P.

1:21Diddy, do you? No, but Epstein. Was Epstein involved with P. Diddy? No, I just feel like these pedovolrings have to cross -point at you know. That's some point. The P. Diddy thinks sounds like just complete unchecked a private. Like I don't even think he was gay. He was just fucking guys. But. He might maybe he's gay but he's like he's just. I think he has to be a little gay. Because then he would just be a fucking winner. Oh yeah for sure. Wait for like 10 minutes. He's at least by. I mean it might just be whatever drugs are taken. Like I don't understand it. When that whole like I think I had peripherally heard that P.

2:02Diddy had big parties. But I never heard of freak offs or any I never heard of that stuff until pretty recently. Like post pandemic. I think Jamie, what you hear first year about like P. Diddy parties. I mean I would think that he I've heard about him having big parties. You might get to be off because the curls breathe and pretty heavy story. I keep it down. Oh my god. He's so cute. He's adorable. Carl and Marshall they they go at it every time I don't know. I've heard of I don't even know what rumors I would have heard. I just heard like you know. But it was not crazy parties. I did yet nothing.

2:39Yeah. It was never like in the zeitgeist. It's just weird too. Because he always had the white parties where you have to wear all white. And I just feel like that's the worst color for body fluid. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Just shit. Maybe that's how we kept track of who he fucked. That person's already gotten it. That person's already covered in disgusting stuff. That's how we kept track of it. There's so many horrific accusations of involving young singers, young children. Yeah. It's disgusting. He's insane. He makes our Kelly look like a decent guy. Yeah. It's so crazy. It is crazy. And meanwhile, the guy was like hanging out with Oprah, hanging out with Obama.

3:24Crazy. Everyone. Everybody. I'm sure the Clintons were there at some point. Made me bill. Bill is so nice. At one time. Was he? He's so charming. So charming. He is. And he's actually still kind of good looking. Like even for an older dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's still so good looking. And she's just so miserable. Well, she's publicly humiliated. And she thought that her big retribution would become president. You know, become president. Sure. And then that would be it. All water in the bridge. I'm a strong woman. I'm running this country. And then America was like, nah. I mean, it doesn't matter what color your America does not want a woman in church.

4:04Well, that's not exactly true because she won the popular vote. She. I mean, not a Kamala though. No, but Kamala was a terrible candidate. Yeah. It is her and Hillary's night and day. Well, Hillary had a lot of experience too. She's been doing this for a long time. Sure. She was a secretary of state. And on top of that, she could answer questions. Sure. Like you could have a question with her about like, what would we do differently if you were president about the Israel Gaza conflict? Sure. She would have something off the top of her head. What would you do differently than Joe Biden? She wouldn't say I can't think of a thing.

4:39She would never say that. No. Kamala Harris is just not good. She's definitely not good at interviewing either. No, I mean, I don't know if she's good at running things because you'd have to be behind the scenes to see how that works. But when it comes to like talking off the top of her head, what she's good at is a pre -rehearsed speech that she reads off the teleprompter. Sure, but if she wants to ask you a rogue question, then you have to be ready to answer it. Yeah, when you're a rogue question, it's like you have to be able to say what differentiates you from Biden. You have to. That's pretty simple.

5:15You're just like, well, I'm still alive. Yeah, that's it. That would be funny if you said that. Right. That's what she should do. She could be funny. People are like a person. Well, I can answer questions. I can look you in the eye. Yeah. I remember what I'm talking about. Yes. I was surprised she didn't come on the podcast a little bit. It seems like, and this is all reports, these are all anecdotal reports, right? But it seems like her campaign was kind of chaotic. Like no one could make a decision. They had, I don't know how many conversations with my folks. Right. But multiple conversations, giving different dates, different times, differentness, different that.

5:52And we knew the truth was going to be in Texas. So I said, open invitation. Right. You said you can come whenever you want. And you would have been the best person for her to talk to because you're not going to attack her. You would just ask her questions, but that's the problem. I don't know if she'd be able to answer those questions. I'll ask her a question. But I think they had requirements on things that she didn't want to talk about. She didn't want to talk about marijuana legalizations, but that was hilarious. Why? Like that's so because of her prosecuting record. Oh, well, I mean, that is like, that was her old job though.

6:22Yeah. And, you know, she put a lot of people in jail for weed, 1500, apparently. That's not really that many though, 1500. Tell those guys, those 1500 together in a row. Are they still in prison? No. Oh, okay. And they're fine now. Prison really builds character. You go in there, you really figure out what kind of person you are. I bet it does. Yeah. But when you are held past your release date to fight wildfires for the state because Kamala Harris wants you to do that. Sure. With the swipe of my pen. Right. You guys, I mean, it's not like the worst idea. This episode is brought to you by Oracle.

7:47Actually have some Buffalo Trace cigars here. They just sent me one of the world's most award -winning distilleries that's been made. Making whiskey the same way for more than 200 years.

So just clean up the wildfires. Well, you should probably pay people for all work. Sure. You know, even prisoners. Well, that's just free. I got a problem with all that. I mean, I have a problem with slave labor in prison because it's essentially mandated.

9:24Right. You have to have a job in some prisons. But I mean, what else are you going to do in prison? Like, if you're not. Read books, do push ups. Okay, but at some point, I'm doing what to do. I'm going to want to do hair. I'm going to want to cook at some point. Like, you just do need a routine, otherwise the time. How many books can you read every single day? That's true. That's true. Yeah. How many yoga classes can you do today? You just need a schedule kind of just to like, I don't know, that just helps your day go by. Like, even if you hated it, you still need, like, when I was on unemployment for a period, I'm like, I'm actually very bored.

9:53You know what I mean? Like, you like it for a couple of days, but you need that routine to kind of like, I don't know. I would, if I was in prison, I'd want a job. This is my fear when it comes to automation, AI, and then ultimately, I think everyone's going to have to have universal basic income. I think all countries are going to have to have it. I think the United States is going to have to have it too. And people need a purpose. They need a thing. For sure. They need an identity. And a lot of people identify with whatever their job is. You know, they find, they take pride in it. It means something to them to show up at work and have people say they do a great job.

10:27And you're very valuable to the company and you know, the customers like you. And all that stuff is really good for people. It's good for self -esteem. It's good for giving you a purpose. If universal basic income is a thing, which I think it's going to have to be a thing, it's going to be real weird psychologically for people to adjust to that. I think there'd probably be a lot of riots. Like, I don't know what else would you do. Just riot with government money. Yeah, I was thinking Trump might not win. And there was going to be a bunch of riots. And I would be able to just get like a free computer.

10:58I was kind of hoping for that. Well, you can buy a computer hatred and you're in. No, I want to create a free. Successful comedian. Okay, for you. Is it? Yeah. Wouldn't you feel guilty at all? No, if they're rioting, everything's a free. That's the rule. That was the rule during George Floyd. But that's what I'm saying during Black Lives Matter. I lived by a CVS that was like getting broken into all the time. I have like shampoo and conditioner for years. Did you go in there? Yeah, why not? I was in there when it was happening. You didn't get arrested. How? Don't say that. No. These are all jokes, right?

11:30Wink. They're all jokes. Wink is all jokes. Listen, I was just supporting Black Lives Matter and that's how you do it. That's how you do it. You get shampoo for free. Shampoo and conditioner. Yeah. The most racist thing I ever saw was a CVS that had everything locked up except sunscreen. I mean, that's pretty much how it is in every CVS.

11:47And why people don't buy sunscreen because we want to be dark. So no one's stealing it or buying it. Yeah. Good call. The, well, they do. They're worried about cancer. If you're one of those people, it puts it everywhere all of your face. Meanwhile, you're putting toxic chemicals all of your friends. People do that and they're like smoking cigarettes. It's like, what are you doing? Just get cancer. Well, how is reading this thing where they were talking about that CVS could find this? So what this person was saying was that people who spend less time in the sun are more likely to get deadly skin cancer.

12:25Is it because your body's not used to that? Yeah. You get cooked. Your body doesn't have any melanin. So you go out there and you get like fucking burnt to death and your body develops cancers. But also you don't have vitamin D. So vitamin D is like a critical hormone and it protects you from a lot of things. It's crucial for your immune system. It's crucial for a lot of different functions. It's also interesting because one time we were at the cellar and the week kept telling me that I needed vitamin D because I'm so white. And I was just like, vitamin. Is that a real thing? It just sounds like dick.

13:01Yeah, you're vitamin D. Is that like a real thing? Yeah, you're so white and you're so vitamin D. So you need to get fucked by somebody. That's going to help you. That's the only thing that's going to keep me alive. Imagine if that was true. Imagine if the only way you can maintain health is to get fucked. I mean, it makes sense. People that are homeless are just like figuring themselves all the time. There must be something to it. I think you're mentally ill. Sure, but they also are like, I want to stay alive. I want to prolong this homelessness. Give me a lot of as long as we can. This is a book I read.

13:35Fingering yourself for health. I mean, all of the homeless people on 6th Street, they're just like figuring themselves constantly. Yeah, there's a lot of that kind of activity with the homeless people. I think they just give up on shame on everything and they just say, I think you're out of your mind. You have to be out of your mind. You're like, who cares? This is poor lady on 6th Street. There's gas station that I only go to if everything's gone totally wrong. And I need gas for sure. You just would run out of it. But you're like, you get out of your car. You're ready to fight people. It's a sketchy gas station.

14:04Oh, I guess. And it is this poor lady who her head, instead of being like here, her head is like, it's like it's broken. Her neck is broken. Okay. And so her head is like down here. She has to look at you like this. She can't lift her chin off of her sternum. I literally down like this. And she's just a bag of bones just barely alive. Like okay, obviously we're not going to help homeless people. Like there's no money in helping poor people. Like let's give them all fat and I'll clean up the streets. Do the kindest thing we can for them. Odeum. Yeah. If I'm on the street for longer than a week, please kill me.

14:42It's not going well. Some people have recovered. Some people have gotten their shit. How many? I don't know. How many CEOs were like, I was on the street. For years. For years. And then I got some vitamin D. I turned it down. How many CEOs enjoyed life? That's the real question. Just because something's difficult to do doesn't mean it's good to do. Sure. Like some people think that becoming extremely wealthy and running a major corporation because it's difficult to do that something you should aspire to. But those guys all die young. They all have heart attacks, it strokes. Yeah, it's a very high stress position.

15:18Insanely high stress. And the hours are insane. And you're probably fucking miserable other than time you're doing coke and banging strippers. Right. I think I would like the rich part. And then I would just do something with like animals. Oh. Yeah, I love animals. Yeah, I know you do. People forget. I can tell. Well, I brought Marshall just for you. I mean, Marshall is so beautiful. Like, if I ever go bald, I told you I want like a wig. I don't know how white women are now. I'm just wearing golden retrievers' wigs because it's beautiful. His hair. But it would stink when it gets wet. I mean, everyone thinks white people smell anyway.

15:52You remember the first time you heard that black people thought white people smell like dogs? I did. We love dogs. I have never heard that. Oh, yeah. Really? They always think we smell like dogs. It's like that's try hurting my feelings. Well, I guess if you're around dogs, I think human beings smell if they don't wash. It's all it is. Like I don't think there's a difference in a smell of black people and white people. And this is coming from someone who does jujitsu. Sure. Maybe not. So I smell people like that close when they're chest pressed up against my face. I've never noticed a difference in human odor.

16:25Oh, I know. I was black people think white people smell like dogs. What dogs want to get wet? Maybe that's just like a fun thing to say. I think it's more than one by person saying it. For real? Yeah. I never heard. Jamie never heard that. Jamie never heard it. Oh, I hang out with my body. It was saying to you. Yeah. Weird. That doesn't hurt my feelings. I love dogs. Yeah, dogs are great. They're amazing. If you're going to smell like an animal, I mean, that's not the worst one to smell like. Cats are kind of crazy because they never smell. And they don't even take showers. They just clean themselves.

16:53No, but if you get like one of those hairless ones, you have to like clean their nails and your skin and stuff. Yeah, those ones are fucking weird. They are, but I like them. Do white people really smell like wet dogs? Black people. The smell comes from their follicles when they get wet. Hair follicles create an oil that spreads some, spread somewhat when wet in a small amount of water gets in. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. And that's from Cora. It's hilarious. It sounds like a white person. But that's hilarious. Go back up to that. Cora is one of those answer websites, right? Oh, I thought Cora like a black lady.

17:30See you. Look at all the Reddit posts that are. I understand the Reddit posts, but here's my point. Cora is like one of those like you can ask it like how do you make a nuclear bomb? Sure. Like that kind of stuff. And imagine if it said do black people really smell like dogs? What do black people smell like when they're wet? I don't think they smell any different than anybody, but the point is you could never have that question on a question web, web page. You can't. They'll take it off. No, fucking chance. But you could have it about white people. Could you ask it at what Indian people smell like?

18:03I don't think you should. They would have a record. But nobody cares that Indian people at all. Indian people do. Yeah, but you ever see what they're doing in India. They're just like, there's just like, you're going to have a real issue with this. I don't even know who that is. Really? Yeah. You don't know who Vivek is? I try not to pay attention to what's going on. Good for you. I really don't know anything. Good for you. I know. I know like very little. If you can exist like that, it's a good way to be. You know, there's plenty of people in this world that are paying attention. I know. I'm not one of them though.

18:35Well, I don't have a problem with that. That's already severe too. He's not what's so fun. Yeah, that's why we're good buddies. Yeah, he has no idea what's happening. He's, I mean. You talked to him about laws being passed like, what? That's not real. Yeah, Ari's the best. He's like, but he's also so autistic, which is why like him even producing my special was so good because he's so like focused and he knows exactly what to do. Very focused. Love stand up as an art form. Love stand up. He's the best at like, not killing seats for the show. He is the best person for that. Oh, yeah, he knows how important that is.

19:10His special that he did was the, the juice special was so ridiculous because they had to keep those candles lit and so like that, I constantly liked them. I was there for it. I opened for it. It was so hot and he taped it in June. It was so hot. I was on stage. I did like 15 minutes. I'm like, oh, it's really hot in here. Well, it's a fire behind you. I know. You think about all those candles? How much fire is that? That's a lot of fire. It's crazy. They have like fire extinguishers standing by in case some shit went sideways. Probably. I'm sure there was some like, there might have been a fire marshal.

19:44They had a hire just to make sure. Probably. But even if the whole place goes on fire, what's he going to do? He's like, well, there's a fire. What's he going to do? He's going to run away. Right. So what is he going to do? Like, I mean, you would need so many fire extinguishers. No, they're little tiny fires. They're a bunch of little, itty bitty fires. There's not like one major, all consuming fire. What if I get a hold of like the curtain? Yeah. If you have fire extinguishers, how far back was the curtain from that? Was there a curtain at all? I'm pretty sure it was a curtain. I'll be sure there's a curtain.

20:15I mean, it looks beautiful though. Yeah, it's not as easy to like things on fires you think. And if fire marshals are standing by with a fire extinguisher, they put that shit out real quick. And that would actually be kind of funny. Yeah. They'd probably keep that on the show. That'd be fun if it was a fire. It was stupid idea to get it off the stage. That'd be amazing. Well, he was running that special for forever for a long time. And then, you know, the whole Kobe thing happened and he stopped and then he came back. What's crazy? I was with him and I guess it was Charlotte when the whole Kobe thing happened.

20:47And he was sick. I was like, oh, we're on the road. I was like, just go to sleep. And then I wake up and I'm like, what did you do? I was like, you're sick. You're supposed to go to sleep. And then I was like, oh, Ari, and then the funniest part is people were like, we're going to kick your ass if you're ever in North Carolina. And he's like, I'm there. They're like, all right, well, if you come to wear a mat, we're going to kick your ass. Well, he was really into making fun of people when they died because everybody was like, really kind to people when they die. And he was always like, fuck them.

21:19Some of them were really funny. That Kobe one was not, but some of them were really funny. Sure. I also don't think he knew like he didn't know like the daughter was there. Like he was just, right. He was just doing it about Kobe. Jamie, your microphone is rubbing. I got it. Oh, yeah, but just he doesn't do that anymore. Thank God. What's funny is Uber came to pick us up the next day and it's like just like a black dude picking us up. And he's like, I got to go to the bathroom. He takes us to like a transient bus station. Uber guy? Yes. Oh, God. And I'm like, does this guy know about, I'm like, are we going to get murdered?

21:57The guy leaves for like 20, 30 minutes to take a shit. No way. Yeah, before we're going to like the airport. No way. He did. And I was like, this is crazy. I want to order a second Uber to pick me up where the first Uber was. No, we were ready to get murdered. You're ready? We were just sitting there. The time is now. This is my fate. This is my fate. We're dying right now. Not if he died because Ari Schaffer decides. First of all, for the longest time, Ari realized that he could not have a phone because he would be addicted to social media and it was terrible for his mental health. And that's what happened.

22:29So he had a flip phone forever. Oh, I know. And I was like, good for you. Like David Tell still has a flip phone. He does. And it's brilliant. Like the people that do it, Sebastian Younger, he came in here, he still has a flip phone. There's people that rock a flip phone. If he would have not had that flip phone, he wouldn't have done that code. Oh, 100%. But I think things like that ultimately are good. Yeah, he's not. He doesn't regret it. If you talk to him. He shouldn't have done it. Right? But he now, he knows he should have done it. And that's just another layer of experience in life and just overcoming this horrific cancellation.

23:03Should he not have done it though? In hindsight. Yeah, I think he's probably, it's probably not a good thing to do. To mock a guy and his daughter who died. But he didn't mock the daughter. He just mocked him. True. Yeah. So I asked him, I do regret doing it. He's like, no. Of course he said. And nobody really, like people were upset. That's the whole thing in cancellation. People are upset for like two, three days and then they forget. Well, especially in this new cycle, this new cycle is so crazy. It's just no matter what happens, there's always something right around the corner that just covers it up.

23:36Just a new thing to get it out of. Yeah, just another wave comes in and you no longer, it's fades. Whatever it is. Bridges something about the FEMA person who got fired because if you had a truck, you have you had like a truck thing on your. Can you imagine that? I know, but it's like, if you have any signs, that means your house didn't get hit hard by a hurricane. No, come on. No, because you could have a Biden sign. Like it doesn't matter. Any sign, but that's what I'm saying. If you have a sign, it's secured. It depends entirely on how the sign was. If your roof came off, you think that sign's going to be there.

24:08Bottom line is that's not what she was saying. What she was saying is avoid all houses that have a Trump sign. You cannot do that. Oh, I know, but I'm just saying what's funny to me is like, if you have a sign and it didn't lift off the ground, like how hard was your house? To be flooding. Your house could have been completely flooded. You have no power, no electricity, no running water. Yeah. I guess. Your house needs to be drained. It's federal emergency management. It's not supposed to be federal emergency management for whoever this one person who's in charge with ideologically. Oh, absolutely.

24:42I don't, I'm, I was making a joke. Like if you have any sign there and it survived a hurricane, like your house is probably fine. Right. Also, I want FEMA funds to go to the fire festival. Like that's all our money to be going through is white guys trying to run a festival who fail. Do you know that guy's doing another one? I know. Is it a, it's not a fire festival? I think he's calling it fire festival too. Is he? Yeah. And he's charging like a million dollars a ticket. His move is to just charge an insane amount of money and see how fucking stupid some people are. I mean, I love that. The whole thing was nuts.

25:19It's like one dude. It's always like some guy who you think could be selling Bitcoin or a pyramid scheme. And now he's just got to put on a music festival because he wants to be cool. You know what I mean? Like doing what's the party with people? He wants party with people. But do you got, didn't he get like famous people to go? I think a lot of people pulled out. As the last minute. Yeah. Probably when they heard. No, but who was the guy that was like, was like a, not Jada kiss? Who was J. J. Rool was doing it with him. I mean, if you have Jarl and anything, it's not going to be well. Was J. Rool one of the organizers?

25:53He, I think he was just like one of the faces of it. I don't know if he put money in it or not. Right. Like he gave him a piece of it or something like that. I don't know. He was there. They bought all these influencers out. And they, I mean, listen, if he pulled it off, it would have been pretty good. I mean, he did have everyone post it at the same time. Like, was that orange box or something? Oh, yeah. Well, so like everyone saw it and they were like, oh, what's this? And then all these like rich kids are there and they're like crying. I mean, honestly, the fire festival was for all of us. That's what it was.

26:22Right. For all of us to see all these kids crying and these fema tense. And there's just, it was amazing. It was amazing. See if you can find his videos or he's trying to promote fire festival too. So he's walking down the street of New York City saying that all so many tickets are already sold. And if you want to... I think they sold a lot of tickets. I'm looking to buy one and I don't even can't find the website to buy him. Not that I want to go. I just want to see. Well, it might not even be real. He might be completely insane if there's a press about it. About fire festival too. Yeah, posting on multiple websites.

26:54This was all happening. It could have just been a press release. Right. Where is fire festival too, gonna be? Somewhere in Mexico on April 25th through 20th. Oh my God. I hope the cartel flies out here. This year? No, coming up, yeah. This year coming up. Yeah. Wow. Who the fuck is gonna... Who's going to Mexico for a fucking fire festival? That's crazy. Just gonna can't cool and it's so much closer. Yeah. Fire festival. Go to Portobeata. You don't have to go to Fire Festival. What's the place that all the kids go to? Tulum. They'll have to party in Tulum. Yeah, have it there. I don't know why Tulum.

27:31That's like one of the major places where they have those Aztec ruins, I think, or Mayan ruins. I don't know why Tulum is like the big... It's like where... It's like beautiful. Hippies and psychedelic people go. They go to Tulum. They do a lot of Instagram posts. I mean, that's all. Everything's about an Instagram post. I was watching this lady and her boyfriend the other day. We were walking on the street and they had basically taken up the entire street. This is because the girl was sitting on this marble bench and she was posing and you couldn't walk in between the two of them and he was 12 feet away from her.

28:05So there was like, like, what is this? You're just stopping and I would have to wait. And it was a long photo shoot. It went on for a couple of minutes. It was fucking stupid as shit. She kept changing her pose and her face and the angle that he photographed her out. I wanted to take his phone away. Like, hey, fuckhead. They did it the other way. Yeah, they do that. I was in CVS and they were doing a sketch. And everyone was like, you got to get out of here. A sketch in CVS? Yeah, there was a bunch of people with cameras and they were trying to do a sketch and they were screaming. And the girl was like...

28:34This girl behind the counter is a nice girl and she's also like a little bit slow. So she's trying to get these people out of there. It's just like chaos. Everybody. I get why people steal in CVS because nobody helps you and you're like, I will just steal. It's just, you're better off stealing than waiting there for somebody to come help you. It's just a nightmare. The amount of people that I've seen working at those kind of stores that have like some sort of odd wound. This episode is brought to you by Buffalo Trace Distillery.

Some odd, like, something like their head looks oddly shaping, like they hit with a brick, like something. Well, that's where veterans go to work. They send you back. To CVS? Yeah. Really? No, it's me that up. I make a lot of stuff up. There's so many of these fucking sketches and pranks that people are doing now on YouTube.

30:43It's like everybody, if you look at kids today, they did some sort of a survey where they ask kids, like, what do you want to be when you grow up? And most of them said famous. Yeah, I mean, if you get famous opening, like, I'm boxing videos. Yeah. Like, I mean, if you could do that, why wouldn't you want to do that? I mean, I'd have a kid just as if they could do that. Well, you know that kid on TikTok, Keith Lee, do you know who he is? He just reviews food? No. With sort of a monotone voice. He's actually brothers with a, he was a MMA fighter himself. And he's brothers with Kevin Lee, who was a top UFC contender at one point in time.

31:20And he just does these like sort of monotone videos where he reviews food. Is he like super, super popular? Wow. Yeah. Like, how many? It's like, why even go to school if you can just unbox a video? One of our current studies shows that 27 million paid creators operating in the US, 11 .6 billion of them working full -time as creators. Wow. Yeah, I mean, it's like. Is that a number one job? If you're from another country and you're like, why don't we just bomb America? That might be, that's crazy. Isn't the number one job driving vehicles in the United States, which is one of the things they're really worried about when it comes to automation, because that's one of the first jobs it's going to go?

31:59I've seen those cars, but they're operating. There's no one operating them and they're just driving. They're weird. Okay. Number one occupation, retail salesperson is 3 million. Home and health personal care is 3 million as well. Both of them are 3 million, 700 ,000. General and operations managers, 3 million, 5 fast food counterworkers, 3, 4 show them all. What's interesting is the retail and the home health aids, they're the same people doing both jobs because they can't afford to live just on a job. So drivers isn't even in the top 10. That's interesting. I thought it was like number one of the top ones.

32:35So cooks is 2 million, 7, and that's number 10, stalkers, order fillers, 2, 8. So influencers was what, 1 million? That's what it was. 11. 11. Oh, 11. Wait a minute. So that's more than that. So what the fuck? So go back to that chart again. 11 .6. That's like the top four combined on most. That's crazy. So that's the most common job. So why is it saying retail salesperson? It's like literally three times more common than that. I have to dig into where they're getting their data from, I guess, but. Wow. So this retail has been the most common job in the US since 1997. Not anymore, bitches. That's crazy.

33:19So that means an influencer or content creator, whatever the fuck you want to call people, that's me too, I guess. That's the number one job. Number podcasting. I used to have a joke back when it was just reality shows that there's going to be a reality show about a cameraman on a reality show. Somebody's filming him. Someone's filming the cameraman on a reality show. What a crazy job. You are a cameraman on a reality show. And then someone's going to say, but who's the cameraman behind the cameraman? Right. And then it's going to be like two mirrors facing each other with the United States. It's going to be filled with just camera people filming other camera people.

33:56Other camera people. I'm into it. It was a joke, but it's kind of true now. Like once, because back when I said this, this was like 2000 something when I was on Fear Factor, there was no social media stars. It didn't exist. And social media itself didn't exist. But now that it does, now that you see the impact that it has and how many people are making a living as air quotes, content creators, it's kind of fucking crazy. It's incredible. Yeah. It's a totally new market that emerged out of nowhere. And according to that thing, at least, it's the number one job of the country. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense.

34:33People are making a ton of money off of it. That's why people are like filming every single thing that they do. Yeah. I'm just putting it on Instagram or TikTok. Well, they learn from the Kardashians that it doesn't even have to be interesting. No, it doesn't. You just have to have a new scene every five seconds. And also, if it's like something crazy, if somebody's fighting, like a fight, yeah. But it doesn't even, that doesn't even matter. All you have to do is just constantly switch angles. Do you ever watch a reality show? The scenes constantly change. Just switching. My wife watches that stupid fucking Kardashian show.

35:08I'll watch a tube. It puts it on in the gym. It's so monotone. Like, it's just one monotone person to another monotone person. She's like the clothes and this. I am pretty happy. I mean, it was a night watch. The Kardashians, I get it. But the point is every like five seconds, the camera changes angles. You never have like a podcast. It's just you mean, the only thing that changes is your camera's on when you're talking. My camera's on more talking. Sometimes it's both of us talking. I mean, I wish Kris Jenner was my mother. I mean, the way she's made these kids so famous, like, could you mind telling your kid to fucking have a sexy in them releasing?

35:47Do you think that she did that? Yes, she absolutely did that. For sure. I think so. Really? I'm pretty sure. Hmm. I reserved judgment. I think she did. And I think it was the smartest thing she could have done for all their careers. Definitely worked. Absolutely. And then everybody has sex. Right. You want to watch? Go watch it. Yeah. You would never think a mom would put that out there, but it was like pretty brilliant. My mom would never do something like that for me. Well, you know, she's a little unconventional. Sure. Yeah, it takes an unconventional woman to like, release your kids' sex tape.

36:22It's kind of turned her husband into a woman and basically made the entire clan super rich. All even robbers' rich. They're all rich. Crazy rich. Yeah, for no reason. Like, no. Because of that text tape. Right, but like, that is kind of the seed. It is. Yeah. Ray J was more famous than Kim when they did that. Right. And now Ray J's like, nowhere. I didn't know. Like if his mother also was on top of it with Chris, he could have been a bigger star too. Nobody gives a shit about Ray J anymore. That's crazy that he didn't capitalize on that. Because his mom wasn't like, Chris Jenner. Right, but why didn't he figure out a way?

37:00Because like, what is unique about her way of thinking? I think it's just Kim is very pretty. That helps. He's a good looking guy though. He's a good looking guy. He's a good looking guy. Got a big dick. He, I assume. You know, I never saw the video. How dare you lie to me like that right to my face. But he has a big dick. No, you never saw the video. I did it. I saw the video, but I didn't see his dick in it. What did you see? I think I saw it too late. I seen it years later. I see it years later. I checked it out too late when the dick wasn't in it. What? The dick was removed originally. I think the dick was originally removed.

37:34I don't know. I've been searching for it pretty hard. I bet Jamie can find it right now. Let's see. Can you find it? We got Port Nub's blocked in Texas, Joe. Oh, no. Well, you know what? Why is it blocked in Texas? If you want to have free guns. Why is it blocked in Texas? It's not blocked. It's not blocked. Do you just have to have proof that you're 18? How do you prove that with your license? I'll upload, yeah. If Chris Jenner said that you're 18. You have to have proof. OK, I guess. Well, I'm going to go home and search it. Well, it porn addiction for kids is a real thing. I did it. I got that important addiction.

38:14Yeah. What happened? I mean, we broke up eventually. He was also a little autistic. And then he went to see a sex therapist. And I think they were fucking. So I guess she fixed it. What? He fucked his sex therapist? Yeah. Jesus Christ. For real? I mean, that's what he told me. I don't think he was lying about it. What a bitch. Yeah, but you have to like, it's like any other addiction. You have to like, stop doing it. I didn't even know he had it. I'm just focusing on the sex therapist. Like how crazy is it? She's fucking her clients. Maybe she had a boyfriend. She wasn't a fucking her at all. And she was like, at least someone's obsessed with it.

38:47Well, maybe she's just me. Give it to me. Maybe that's how she cares you. Because if you're a horny, if you're like a healthy person who's just horny normally, and the person you with is not horny at all, and you're exhausted by that, but you're a sex therapist. And then you're talking to some guys, good looking guy. And he's like, I want to fuck all the time. That's the thing with you. And she's like, you know what? I want to fuck all the time too. Sure. But like with porn addiction, you're so used, like he would have like 300 screens open at once. So one person, Tim, is boring. So that's what like, porn addiction as you need to.

39:21I'm exaggerating, but you need like a lot of different things open and it probably has to get more and more progressive for you to like get off. Well, that's where it gets real weird, right? Like you start getting into like the darker side of porn. Like violent porn and choking and gagging, spitting and slapping and abuse. Sure. Time people up. That kind of shit. Like because if you're, if you're just getting your jolars, if you're not just trying to masturbate and have a little fantasy, you want to like, it's got to get darker and crazier and crazier. It's got to like really freak you out. But that's why I think you have all those screens open.

39:56You're watching all of it at once. You're getting tiny dopamine hits from 100 to 100. So then like, you're having your therapist calling you up, get over here. I got 300 other therapists here. You're a naughty boy. Good over here. Yeah. So I mean, how did you say, how did he say that it started with the sex therapist? I don't know. He didn't tell me like the specifics of it. We had been broken up already and we were like, we're main friends and he just told me that they started sleeping together. Jesus. That seems crazy. That's like prison guards, fucking the prisoners. I mean, if I was in prison, I would try and fuck all the guards.

40:33What else are you going to do? I would do everything. I'd become Muslim. I would like become trans. I would do everything I could do in prison. Right. Just mix it up. To pass the time. Yeah, especially if you have a long sentence. If you're there for life, I'm down to do everything. Yeah. I'll do licensed plates. I'm going to do hair. I'm going to cook. I'm going to do everything there. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's weird how many people are in prison. I mean, we went over this the other day. How many people are in prison in the United States compared to like the rest of the fucking world? It's like we have the highest percentage of people that are in prison, I think of any country in the Western world for sure.

41:12I mean, you got China's hard to count because you have essentially slaves. Well, also in China, they all live in like tiny boxes anyway, which are prisons of their own doing. Well, like you wouldn't say necessarily that the people that make your iPhone are slaves, but they're literally sleeping in dorms and they put nets around the building to keep them from jumping off. I'd rather be in prison. How do you get in prison in China? In prison, they probably like give you less hours than the Foxconn workers. Sure. Probably get better food. How many people end of 2023? The US had 1 .8 million people in prison, which is more than any other country.

41:51China had the second highest number of prisoners with about 100 ,000 fewer than the US. But the thing about China again, like it's not just the amount of people in an actual prison. You have to think about the actual actual people that are slaves. US is the highest incarceration rate in the world. 724 people per 100 ,000. England and Wales has an incarceration rate of 145 per 100 ,000. Russia has 581 people per 100 ,000. So Russia's nip in our heels. Russia's people are fucking crazy though. US has longer sentences than many other countries, which contributes to the high incarceration rates. I wonder how many other countries have private prisons too.

42:31That's the dark part. Well, that's how you make the money. Yeah. Yeah. Profit, profit off of people. I remember when I found out that prison guard unions were lobbying to keep marijuana laws because they wanted people to be in jail. It was like, what? Yeah, because they want to make money. Money. They need that job. They need those contracts. So many countries have private prisons, including United States, has the most private prison in the world. 158 facilities in 30 states. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Australia, high percentage of privateized prisons. New Zealand, United Kingdom, Scotland, Wales, South Africa, Japan, Brazil.

43:11When did they start with the private prison thing? Like, who, what fucking monster? Okay, Google this. What was the first private prison? What fucking monster didn't see, didn't see the road ahead when you allow people to profit off of people being locked up? What monster didn't see? You're gonna just have people lock more people up. 1984, these motherfuckers. It's George Orwell. Literally is Orwell. I haven't thought I was before that. No, it's a fairly recent thing. Prison used to be something that we used to have because we had to lock certain people up to protect them from society. And instead, it became, hey, I think I can make money.

43:51I think I can make money off people in jail. They're using people like batteries to generate money. This thing says, we as the end of privateized, it's penitentiary. I don't know if there's a big differentiation between that. Privateized, which was run as a factory. Yeah, inmates were used to produce cheap clothing for enslaved people. Wow. That's crazy. You're producing clothes for slaves. I mean, that is basically just she and, that's what they're doing in China. Right. All those clothes that are like $2. Yeah, that's weird, right? You can buy a total knockoff of a designer dress for like four bucks.

44:30I know. It's great. I love it. They're being, they think you love it. I think there's a documentary on that that I was watching. My kid was watching it and I walked in on it. Was it like the she and documentary? Yeah, they were talking about these people, they lost the contract because they weren't able to produce things as fast as this company needed them. And if it's just all about the knockoff industry over there. So if you're designing, you might like that top that you're wearing and people like it, they'll just take their top and copy it exactly and sell for five bucks. You know, and you're like, what?

45:02It's $59 on my website. Nope. Five bucks. Why are there not knockoff iPhones? There are. Not always there not only is there a knockoff iPhone. There's a knockoff Apple store in China where every single item is not really Apple. But it works just as good. It does not work as good. I doubt it. Tell me why wouldn't they cut corners? They're already wide of you. I know. Why wouldn't they put a cheaper chip in the laptops when they put cheaper screens? If you want to use like Gorilla Glass and Amoled displays, that's just expensive. You some cheap ass, you know, five year ago bullshit and just sell for once.

45:39If it last for a couple of years, that's great. Five year old bullshit still works. Yeah. It does. It's not great though. I mean, I dropped my phone all the time. Try to register with the Apple store and like, not play it. That's how you did iPhone. That's why you need riots. You can steal the stuff. And all comes back to that. Stealing all the stuff. But someone's gonna make this stuff. Slaves. Yeah, in China. In China. Yeah. I mean, what percentage of, let's ask this. What percentage of our electronics is made in China? Probably 95%. Well, a lot gets made in Japan and South Korea. Like Sony, huge, Samsung, huge.

46:23They're probably one of the biggest electronic make it, they make everything. They make refrigerators. They make like smart refrigerators where you can like, check your refrigerator with your phone, see what the fuck's in there. To make sure your refrigerator is like, not doing something. Yeah, check it on you. Keep it on. What's going on in there? What do you do? How many ice cubes have you made? You lazy bitch. Where's my fucking ice? Ice cubes from your refrigerator, from your freezer. Are they the dirtiest ice cubes of all time? Like, I don't ever want those in my glass. Remember, although I think Apple stuff is all coming from China.

46:57You nailed it. Oh yeah, all the stuff that gets made, actually gets made from Apple. That's all China. Laptops and computer monitor, China supplies 92 % of US imports. Fones, China supplies 74 % of US phone imports. So Samsung does not use China for phones. And I don't know if it's an ethical thing or what, but I think they make their phones in India and somewhere else. Maybe Vietnam. Did this, is there a correlation between them, like stopping killing baby girls in China with making all of this stuff? Or they could like, let's keep them alive. So we could have them. No, I think they just woke up and said, we have like 85 % men in all these poor women or fucked.

47:45They have to keep fucking all these guys. There's not enough when they live with like three or four guys, just to balance it out. Take turns competition. They're not as highly competitive in China. It sounds like they relocated some of the manufacturing from China, Southeast Asia to avoid high labor costs. What? Say, those slaves are expensive Adrian. Samsung also hasn't been able to compete with Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Opo, and Vivo in the Chinese market. Interested. Have they ever even heard of those brands? Yeah, they make Xiaomi make some high -end Android phones. In the rest of the world, Android phones are huge because everybody uses WhatsApp.

48:32They don't really give a fuck about my message. WhatsApp is like big in the Hispanic community too. Yeah, WhatsApp is huge. I have friends that only talk to me on WhatsApp. I do too. Yeah. Well Zuckerberg owns it. He owns it. But I don't talk to him other than WhatsApp. He's a WhatsApp. But he owns it. You talk to him on WhatsApp. Yeah, that's what he's saying. Talk shit about things. Yeah, he's like, what's up? He's a nice guy. He really is. He's a billionaire. Yeah, he's a nice guy. When someone's like really rich, like, oh, that guy's not a person. Yeah, but he didn't start out, which so did he?

49:05No, of course not. He invented Facebook. Yeah, but some people started. Some people originally had their families had money the whole time. That's weird. Yeah. That's weird, right? Because then you're insulated from birth. And then you go right into a deeper layer of insulation where you're like completely disconnected from people. That's when you get into like Bill Gates category, which I, what's a figure out way to block out the sun? Like, you're so rich where you're like, I really want to fuck shit up for everyone. I imagine like, I was reading this thing about Bill Gates' idea to block out the sun and...

49:38Oopsies. Oopsies, Jimmy. Sorry. No worries. It happens all over. I'll clean it. I'm a woman, I'll clean it. I know my place. Yeah. Like, they were talking about Bill Gates has some plan to stop global warming and like shoot particles into the air to block out the sun. And people like, hey, do you know me fucking people were on earth? You can't just come up with that idea and try it. Like, what about the rest of us? This is the only vitamin D. But imagine being so ridiculous. You're so wealthy that you think, oh, I could just block with sun. I kind of love it. I kind of love this guy so not. He is nuts.

50:15And then you're like, I'm just gonna stop, like water from half, like you're just gonna, like I love so many of the things they can do that much damage to the world. I think people should just stop eating meat and then you just like, tries to get everybody stupid fucking fake meat. That's fine, but imagine like blocking out the sun. That's crazy. Yeah. He's also buying farmland. To do what? Who fucking knows? Probably grow his fake meat food. Like GMO shit. Yeah, well, fake meat is made out of plant protein. And so you have to grow plants. I never had it. It's nasty. I bet it's disgusting. The thing about it is, like if you want to have healthy vegetarian food, go eat Indian food.

50:52It tastes delicious. It's good for you. And it's vegetarian. Like it just doesn't have to pretend to be a cheeseburger. Right. I mean, the fake cheeseburger stuff is all seed oil. Just eat legumes and whatever you're eating. Yeah, if you can do it, like if you can, if you want to eat healthy and have delicious food, Indian foods the way to go. 100, there's an Indian food restaurant and Woodland Hills, I used to go to all the time. It was this cool place. It was like everybody spoke Hindi and you went in there and like you had to like just guess what you're eating and point. Everything was vegetarian.

51:26That's pretty scary to me. Oh, it was super, super authentic. It was like, there's this weird off -shoot Indian community. And so they had like this Indian grocery store. And then in the back of the Indian grocery store, they had this cafe and it was all Indian food. It was really good though. They use a lot of spices too. Oh yeah, they know how to spice the shit out of those vegetables, but it was good. It was like delicious vegetables. It's pretty healthy. It's very healthy. It's like vegetables and like all that stuff's pretty good. Also, they use a lot of turmeric, you know, like curcumin and all those spices.

51:58And like that's all anti -inflammatory turmeric. Right, I mean, you have to be close to a bathroom, but like it is pretty good. Let's go. You're gonna be ready to go. I'm gonna eat this on the run. But that's my point is like, if you want to fucking eat vegetarian, if you want to eat vegetables only, there's a way to do it that tastes good and you don't have to pretend you're eating a fucking burger. Those burgers are amazing. I guess I guess you just feel left out. Like what is the point of pretending to eat that? Well, it's because the people quit eating meat. Right. I understand that. No, they quit and then they want the meat back.

52:30They wish they could have the meat. Oh, you can pretend you're eating the meat. It even bleeds just like a burger. Gross. It's all gross. Just eat a burger or do -or -y -been -degre -y. It's also super duper unhealthy for you. It can't be healthy to manufacture it like that. It's so processed. If you want to eat vegetables, this is how you eat them. Come on the ground, clean them up. Cook them. Cook them. That's vegetable. You know, running through fucking machines and go up it up with oils and extracts, things and compress it and shot the fuck up. You're seeing like what a tempy looks like. It's nasty.

53:06I know. My friend was eating it on time. I was like, that looks disgusting. I was watching the production of tofu. Like from scratch with all these machines. Like, why would you ever think that's natural? And tofu doesn't taste good. I mean, I know it picks up the flavor of what it's ever it is, but it's like, it's on its own. It has no taste. No. It's on its own. It's a crude source of protein that doesn't have a lot of amino acids. And it's not as bioavailable. But you can live on it. Like you can live, you can live on vegetables. You can do it. It's just, it's not advisable. You just don't have energy though.

53:38No, you're missing so many things. You're missing creatine. You're missing a bunch of amino acids. You're missing vitamin B12. There's a bunch of things you're going to have to supplement with. You know, there's ways people supplement that can mitigate some of that. Algae is a good one because algae is kind of a life form that's different and you can get certain vitamins from algae that you can't get from just like plants that grow above ground. This sounds disgusting. It does. I got it. You know what, vegan should really consider adopting into their diet, mollusks. Because mollusks are actually more primitive than plants.

54:15They just, you gotta go over the fact they move. Okay, because venous fly traps move too. They do. Would you feel bad about eating a venous fly traps salad? If you do, you're a cuckoo person. You're not just a vegetarian. You're a cuckoo person. Now you think the venous fly trap is smarter than like cabbage? That's stupid. That doesn't make any sense. Do vegetarians not eat any vegetables either? Aren't there some people that believe like all of that food? Oh, fruitarians. That's a fruitarian. Yeah. So then what do they eat? Well, those people eat cancer if they die. I mean, that's crazy. That's so bad for you to just eat only eat fruit.

54:47You're overwhelmed with sugar. You're eating sugar all day long. Sugar should be something you have every now and then. I think, I mean, I think sugar is generally, it causes all sorts of inflammation. It's not really good for you. It tastes great, but it's not good for you. You mean like fruit sugar or like... Even fruit sugar. I think you should get fruit sugar in the form of fruit only. You definitely shouldn't get it in orange juice. Orange juice is no different than drinking a cuckoo cola. But what if it's like a hundred percent just orange juice? Doesn't matter. Your body's not used to processing all that liquid sugar.

55:19Yeah, exactly the same way. Maybe even worse. Because some like my daughter wants, got one of them little apple juices from Disneyland. And she looks at, she goes, Jesus Christ, this has 18 grams of sugar in it. Just little tiny thing. Yeah. Like what is a cuckoo cola, Jamie? Is it 30? Let's guess. How many grams of sugar do you think cuckoo cola has in it? Probably not 40. 40. I say about 30. What do you think, Jamie? Like 30 -ish. 39. Okay. That's it. Sorry, that's what it is. Okay. So what is 12 ounces of orange juice? 12 ounces of, let's say fresh squeezed. So you think you're eating healthy.

56:02Fresh squeezed orange juice. You still have to be better off having a fruit juice over a diacochoke. Not, well, not a diacochoke, I'm regular. Not much. Well, there is, they're both fructose, right? About 30. 30. Yeah, real similar. Real similar to a cuckoo cola. You do get vitamin C, you get that. But if you want orange juice, you should get it from eating oranges. Sure. That's when your body knows what to do with that. Your body gets a slice of orange and goes, I don't do it this. This is good. This is why your body ain't not. Okay, so let me show this. If you're drinking orange juice, how come your body doesn't recognize that as an orange?

56:39Because it's going straight to your liver. Okay. There's no breaking down of fiber. There's no, and you're getting a dose of equivalent to like eating eight oranges immediately. Okay. Your body's like, what the fuck is this? That's why soda's so bad for you. Sure. Your body's like, what the fuck is this? Well, I stopped eating sugar. Totally. I only have fruit, but other than that, I don't have any cookies or cake or any of that stuff. How do you feel? I feel better. I mean, I lost a ton of weight. You did, you look great. Thanks. I want you to lose. From the last time I was here, probably like 45, 50 pounds, but I also was working out too.

57:18How do your joints feel? They must feel so much lighter. They do, but I have a friend who's losing weight. It doesn't matter how much you weigh. It doesn't weigh on your joints, and I'm like, you know that's not true. That doesn't make any sense. I know, but you just kind of have to let people think that because what am I going to do fight with you about it? Just okay. She said it doesn't make a difference in your joints. It doesn't make a difference how much you weigh like on your knees. A guy or a girl. A girl. And I was like, okay, I'm just like I was staying at her house too, and I was like, I'm not going to fight with you about that.

57:47I used to notice the difference when I was fighting, when I would lose weight, when I would compete. So I used to weigh like 155 pounds, and I had a competed 140. And just that 15 pound weight you felt. Oh, yeah, I felt so light. I felt so light. It's you feel like I'm on my feet. Well, I work out with a vest. I put a weight vest on, so it's 25 pound weight vest, and I do like all these body weight exercises. When I get that 25 pounds doesn't seem like much. I get that thing off me. I'm like, yeah, I mean my back, everything feels better. Of course, your joints, everything. You're overstrived, but your legs are probably strong as fuck.

58:24I used to say that about Ralphie Mae, I'm like, bro, if you could lose weight, you could kick through a fucking building. But I think your knees are just like, we need a break. Right, but they will get a break. They're gonna get a break, because you're gonna lose 400 pounds. If you lose 400 pounds, sure. I mean, if I was looking at his legs, I'm like the muscle you must have in your legs. You go upstairs. Ralphie was performing in the belly room. Ralphie went into the belly room, so he had to go upstairs. You remember the belly room of the store? That's a fucking old school staircase. But I mean, how often are you doing that?

58:58Well, he's walking a lot, because he was always walking, just walking. Right. Imagine if, okay, I weighed 205 pounds, if I had to put on a, what a Ralphie way in his prime, if you had a guess. I have no idea if I had 500 pounds. If I had to put on 300 pounds, imagine if I am in shape, imagine if I had to walk around the comedy store with a dumbbell on my back, or a barbell on my back with 300 pounds on it. Okay, but I mean, you're not. I can make it like 30 steps and I have to put it down and take a break for like five minutes, and then try to pick it up again, and I'd be exhausted. This dude's just walking around all day like that.

59:37But if you're walking around that much, you're gonna lose a lot of weight, too. He lost that much weight. That's what you lost? Yeah. He weighed almost 800 pounds. Yo. And just walking up the stairs at the belly room, he lost 300 pounds. Just one time. One time? That's crazy. Why are we not able to fat people? Wow. He used to weigh over 800 pounds. He underwent gastric bypass surgery and lost through in 50 pounds, but his struggle with his weight. He blew out his gastric bypass twice. Well, the thing is with, I mean, a lot of people I get those surgeries, you're not, if you're not figuring out the reason why you're overeating like that, it doesn't matter.

1:00:14You can still gain the weight back if you eat small meals all day long. I have friends that have gotten it, and you just eat small meals all day long. And you're just still gaining the weight back, yeah. Keep, you at least maintain your weight. You can't keep as much in there at a time as like a giant plate of food, but. No, but if you eat little meals all day in craze, you'll gain the weight back. I know people that have had that surgery and you're like, oh, you just gained a lot of your weight back. Right. So they're not eating because they're hungry. They're eating because they're crazy. They're so...

1:00:41Right. It's like the same way people abuse anything, right? Look, if it's alcohol or sex or drugs, you know, it's the same thing, right? You're trying to like, numb out and feel a void. So if you don't actually address that, you're not gonna just stop eating. So someone told me this, final, this is true. Does Bruno Mars, oh, the MGM, a ton of money from gambling? Is that true? I've seen the story where someone just claims they were there. Yeah, I've talked to someone who claims it's... Someone who would know who claims it's true. But isn't that crazy if true? That even a guy like Bruno Mars, who's super wealthy, super famous, super talented singer.

1:01:18It doesn't mean you don't have issues though. Right, but the gambling one is a nutty one. It is, well my dad is a gambler. I'm not going to be a good MGM, he has no debt. Because MGM probably made some sort of a deal. Right. Because it doesn't even have like some sort of, he has no debt with MGM. Wink, wink. So they have a deal. So what is... What, they have some sort of a, he has a residency there, right? I think so. The word is... I don't know if he's got a gambling problem. My dad was a gambler. And like he made no money. It's the craziest thing to be a gambler when you have no real money. Oh, it's a crazy one.

1:01:54It's a crazy addiction. It's an addiction that I first saw when I started hanging out in pool halls when I was 23. I started, I became addicted to playing pool. I was playing it all the time. I blew my knee out. I needed to get knee surgery. And when I blew my knee out, it couldn't work out. So I had to wait for surgery. And so like my ACL was all fucked up. And so I just started playing pool with one of my friends and I became addicted to playing pool. And I would go there all the time because I was a comedian. I didn't have a job. I just would go on stage at night and during the daytime. Right.

1:02:25I'd hang out in pool halls and at nighttime and hang out in pool halls. And I just got around these people that I had never known anybody like that before. Just fully addicted to gambling all day long. They would go to the racetrack. They would go to off track betting. My dad used to take me to OTV as a kid. That's brutal. And that's when they used to let you smoke. You just come home smelling like smoke. It's disgusting. And you're hanging out in there as a kid. Me and my sister would hang out with my dad in the OTV for hours. I feel like such a good dad. Yeah. You're way better dad. It wouldn't be better if my dad was gambling.

1:02:56And he was like, you know, he was a mailman. You can't, you can't gamble. You can't do both of those things at the same time. Yeah. It's a crazy one. It's a really crazy. Who was it that told us that the dad, the dad was gambling so hard they lost their house. Fuck, I forgot the whole story. But it's just, you don't hear a story very rarely about a gambling addict who like kills it and like they retire in Vegas and they have a... No, because you keep going until you eventually lose everything. Yeah, it's a dark one. Did you see uncut gems? No. You should see it. Well, it might be too close to home.

1:03:34It doesn't matter. It's Adam Sandler, I think it's best movie ever. And it wasn't even a comedy at all. It's a drama. If you fucking kills in it too, it's so good. I have heard of the people say that. It's so good. I gotta watch it. But it's, for me, like, have I known those people? And it's so filled with anxiety. Because it's a sports betting thing. Sports bettors are the craziest ones. Because there's so many different ways to bet. You can get bet the spread, you can get bet parlays, you can do all. My dad, for a while, my dad was like taking money from his pension, which like, yeah, so when he died, there was like really not that much money.

1:04:08And my mom was forcing him to go to gamblers anonymous while he was also still gambling. It's not gonna help. If you don't really want to stop, right? If you don't want to stop, you're not gonna stop. I think food is the hardest one. Because food addiction, you always have to eat food, right? Right. All the other ones, you can kind of just not do the thing. That's why I stopped eating sugar. Because once I start eating and I can't stop. So then once it's like out of your system, you don't crave it anymore. Well, that's because you're gut bacteria changes. That makes sense. Yeah. What is it Candida?

1:04:39Is that what it is? There's a specific type of gut flora that consumes sugar and it thrives on sugar. And with people that eat a lot of sugar, it's very prominent in their gut bacteria. And it literally changes your brain. It changes your chemistry. It changes your mood. It doesn't sugar also just like a breeding ground for cancer, like when you have cancer. One of the things they tell you is you get cancer. Stop all sugar and get on a ketogenic diet. So get your body to eat like high fat. Got onto ketosis. Yeah, eat a lot of macadamia nuts and things with, you know, things that you get a lot of fat from.

1:05:13And just that's, your body starts burning fat. Which you feel so much better when you live like that. Your brain works better. Yeah, for sure. You're just like in a brain fog. Yeah, for sure for me. I mean, you know, I'm Italian. So I grew up eating pasta and bread and pizza. It was like common. And when I stopped doing it, when I went like on a carnivore diet, the first thing that I thought that was really bizarre was how I wasn't hungry during the day. Like I never got this like famished starvation feeling. Well, because isn't it like you're, if you're eating stuff that's like high in carbohydrates like that, your, doesn't your blood sugar like really quickly and stuff?

1:05:50Yeah, spikes when you eat more spots. It's like, it's insulin. Your body produces a ton of insulin. And you want, you want your body to run on ketones. If your body runs on ketones, it's just like, it works better or your thought. One of the things that I noticed like almost immediately was like when I came in to do podcasts, I was much better at it. My brain, like just as a form of performance enhancing perspective, my brain functions better. I can form sentences better. If I was eating like a lot of sugar, you almost get like that same hunger over feeling as if you drink. Like I've got that where like if you binge eat sugar and then the next day you're like, oh my god, I feel so hungover.

1:06:28It's similar. Yeah, it's similar. Like there's something to, it's not as extreme. Cause you're probably not dehydrated too. But yeah, your body's like, what are you doing to me, man? What are you doing? It's not good. Not at all. But it's so delicious. Like cake is so fucking good. Why are you eating it? I know. Why are you eating it? Like God is so good. That's how my dad felt gambling on the horses. It was like this feels so good. And then what he, so they would send us to Catholic school and he would like not pay like tuition. And then they would call me in to like talk to me. Oh, no. And I'd have to go talk to my dad.

1:07:01And he was gambling the money. Yeah, my dad was always gambling. I think people need some excitement in their life, you know? Sure. And it's like, why are you doing that? What are you trying to numb out? Cause God knows what he was. You know what I mean? Like everyone's kind of trying to fix their problems from their childhood or they're not. There's that. But I think with gambling, it's also, it's excitement. Yes. And you get addicted to just having a purpose and having excitement. I mean, your purpose is to figure out when the nicks are going to win by 17 points. Sure. And if they win, you win.

1:07:35And then yes, I'm alive. It like spikes, like you're just like that feeling of like winning and then that feeling of losing. Well, that's the craziest thing about the Adam Salon movie. There's a moment in its boiler where he does make this big win. And so with this big win, he's going to be able to pay all these people off there to try and kill him and he immediately doubles down and puts it on another. You like, what the fuck? Right. Because that's the thing you're chasing that high. I constantly had a friend who's a huge gambler and like he lost so much money and no matter how much he gambles, he's up $15 ,000.

1:08:04He's still chasing that $8 million loss. So it doesn't matter. He's constantly chasing that big loss. And like, no matter how much he wins, he's like, yeah, but I still lost all that other money. So I'm going to keep chasing this. My good friend, Dana White is gambling, Alex. And also if you're super rich, you just have more to lose. Oh, yeah, he goes hard. We went to visit him at Green Valley. Wasn't green? No. Red rocks, red rocks. We went to visit him at Red Rocks, Jamie and I went. And when we got there, he was $600 ,000 down. When we got there, that's crazy. Playing Blackjack. But at the end of the night, he stayed to like six in the morning.

1:08:42He was $600 ,000 up. So he won that money back and then he got him for 600 grand. That's crazy. He's there all the time. He loves it. He loved it. But he's worth like, you know, I don't know what he's worth. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Like he can get away with that. Sure. Not my dad is making 40 grand a year. But it's not even a wealthy guy. You would think, you're that wealthy. Why would you want to gamble? You know? It's just the feeling. There's nothing that replicates that feeling that you get when you're like winning or losing. Yeah. It's a real drug. After sure. And it's a weird one.

1:09:16It's a really weird. It's like, it hijacks like your human reward system that's built to solve problems and overcome adversaries and conquer and get conquered. Like it's hijacking that little part of your brain. I kind of want to gamble right now. Right now. Let's just fucking go. If you were a gambler, what do you think your game would be? Whenever I do it, it's just like slots. And I really, that's the dumbest one. I know. Because I don't really know how to play Blackjack or anything. So I'm just like, I'm going to lose all my money. Well, you want to learn though? I would like to learn. Yeah.

1:09:54I did learn Blackjack a little bit. My firm is teaching me. I think I could learn Blackjack. Crap's. I'm like, you might as well be trying to teach me how to read, you know, ancient books. The weird one to me is like someone who puts all the money on the red or black. Oh, roulette. Yeah. That's a nutty one. It is because don't you have to get the number? How do you even like, how do you even bet on that? It's such a chance. I think there's a bunch of different ways you can bet. I think you can bet red or black. You can bet specific numbers. You know, I think there's a bunch of different ways. But if you wanted to bet at all red or black, I think you can.

1:10:25I think you bet like 100 grand on one roll. I think it's going to come out red. I don't know. I just like the feeling you get putting say you put 100 grand down and then you lose and you're like, no. God. That's my children's tuition. There goes our house. But that thing dicks people. I mean, that's the argument where, because he knows shouldn't be everywhere. Because people would just, everywhere, they would be falling into gambling addiction. For the most, I mean, casinos, like there's one in Yonkers in New York. It's so depressing. It's just all old people that are there on disability, just sitting there and they're doing that thing.

1:11:00The slots. The slots. And they smoke in. I know. Just waiting to die. It's very sad. You're waiting to die. Yeah, it's a dark thing that you just sit these people in front of those things and just they press buttons. And all the lights are going on, so the little brain is getting activity. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. My mother told me that my grandmother was like a big gambler and she also didn't have money. It's crazy me when people who were poor gambling. And she would lose the money all the time, like the rent money and my grandfather used to hit her. Oh, God. I know. And I was like, I guess you didn't hit her hard enough to learn.

1:11:34Because she kept doing it. It didn't work. She just kept doing it. My grandmother used to run the numbers for the mom. Interesting. Yeah, she actually went to jail. She went to jail for like six months. You really are a Italian. I didn't even know you're Italian. Yeah. Yeah, my grandmother, she was addicted to the numbers and she would always talk about the numbers. Like, I was going to bet this that, but this one came through and I changed my mind. She was always like, change her mind the last minute. That's gotta be the whole time where you're just like, should I do this number? Should I do that number?

1:12:04It was most conversations I had with her. We're about either ghosts, psychics, or the numbers. I mean, do psychics work? Because when you think they can predict the numbers, yeah, I think psychic phenomenon is an emerging property of human consciousness that's not quite there yet. I think that language didn't develop overnight. I think eyesight didn't develop overnight. And I think psychic connection between human beings is a real thing that nobody, I think some people are better at it. They have more of a gene for it or more of a, it could be like a biochemistry thing, it could be a psychology thing.

1:12:49There's something that you connect to sometimes where you know something. Right. But you don't know why you know it. There's, when you know someone's gonna call and then they call, you think it about someone that they call you, I think that's real. I think it's just not, you can't put it on a scale. I think the problem is it's too a fereal. It's like too a femoral rather, it's too, it's not quite there yet, but I think it's an emerging thing. It's happening. Would you wanna know the day you're gonna die if you could find out? No. Would you wanna know how you're gonna die? No, no. I'm interested in while I'm alive just living.

1:13:24I would like to know the day. I wouldn't wanna know. I don't wanna know. Because then I would just take a lot more chances. You'd be freaking out the last few days. Sure, but like, I would probably do a lot of stuff now if I knew I was gonna die like 70 or 80. We probably are gonna die at 70 or 80. So you don't know for sure. Well, technology could come along and extend that way to the end. Because then I would try and see if I could die before. Just like run across the highway. Really? Just beat the system? See if I could beat the system. Well, you know he's jump off our bridge. Imagine that.

1:13:54George Washington Bridge, if I was gonna do it, that's the one. It's the bridge to go off of. Do people do that? I'm sure they do. But you gotta do it when it screws enough people like, Labor Day Weekend or something. Just hold that traffic up. I had a friend who jumped off the golden gate. I guess he died. He did? Do you ever see that documentary? Yeah. I haven't seen it but I've heard of it. I know about it. It was interesting because some of the people that lived are like, as soon as you jump, you regret it. Yeah, of course. It's like your body's like freaking out. It's like, oh my god. Yeah.

1:14:21You have three seconds to think about life before you plummet 75 miles an hour into the ocean. They always stop traffic to on the bridge. Which is weird. Right, because you're like, they're ready to. Pop out of the water and land. Just go on the ground and look for them. What are we doing up here? Why can't I go off the bridge? Why? Stop and travel to the bridge. I guess it's to make sure that nobody pushed them. Look for evidence of like fingernails clawing at the poles. Sure, but like the highways find now. I agree. Just like look on the edges. I think whenever they get a chance to shut things down there like it.

1:14:54One time I got hit by a car, a drunk driver, and they shut the highway down. All the cars are there and you kind of just throw like, it's amazing. This is all from me. Wait, did this. Fuck you. It's kind of weird. You guys aren't picking your kids up. Yeah, sorry. The rich drunk drivers decide to hit me. Oh, guess I'm going to shake your pants. Sorry. I'm not going to make it over time. That's true. Fuck yeah, it's true. I had a drunk driver hit my car and then asked me if I would help them push their car off the highway. Oh, that's adorable. Yeah, he was so right. I don't know. He went away in handcuffs, but like he had an outie.

1:15:29I mean, it wasn't even his car. No, Jesus. He was undocumented. No, Jesus. I don't even know if he did he have a license? I don't know. It was crazy. The whole situation was like, hey, can you push me off the highway? I was like, probably not. God damn, dude. That's how people die too. Buddy, my from high school died that way. It was changing his tire side of a highway. That's crazy. Yeah. It's so dangerous. People don't fucking pay attention. They don't, especially if it's late at night. Well, especially now. This was many years ago before cell phones when this kid died. But this like now, the odds of like, when I see people on motorcycles, I'm like, God, damn, that's so risky.

1:16:06It's very risky. So few people are paying attention. I see people texting all the time. Everyone is texting all the time. I would rather drive with drunk drivers than people texting and driving. Is there always all over the road? All over the road. And not only that, the amount of space you cover, well, you look down at your phone for like a couple of seconds and type in a word. The amount of space you cover, if you go in 60 miles an hour, is really crazy. Of course. And then you're also not paying attention to the other people who are texting and driving. Exactly. It really is just like chaos.

1:16:36Maybe I'll get home, maybe I won't. Why don't we all have bumper cars? Let me ask you that. I think. It would be better if everybody had a big rubber thing all around the outside of the car so we could just kind of bounce off of each other. Probably, that would be a good idea. But then you also need people to die because like we're just too overpopulated. That's right, that's what it's all comes in. Fettin' exactly. Give everyone a fettin' all. Yeah. Like if you were gonna fix the homeless problem and you weren't gonna use fentanyl, what would you do? I'm giving them fentanyl. Cause it's like a nice way to go out.

1:17:09It's quick. It is quick. And you're so happy and then you're dead. They have narcan everywhere though. They just bring people back to life. But the thing is it's like. I never see narcan anywhere. If you weren't going to, like if you were like for real, if you were trying, if you were just objective, if you weren't looking at this in terms of like what's the kind thing to do. And you wanted to clean up the homeless situation. Well you have to spend a lot of money on mental health. Right. You have to like care about the veterans. I like, I have a whole drug about this on my special about how like we don't really care about veterans.

1:17:39And I've dated a lot of them, a lot of veterans that like come back and they're so screwed up. Yeah. And we're not like actually helping them. No. And a lot of them end up on the street and they're crazy. But they need like a lot of, you know, like mental health and they have to, you have to like kind of figure out how to go back into society. Oh yeah. Like I've dated several veterans and like they're crazy understandably, you know, you can't go to war for like eight years and then come back and work at Target. Right. Just not a way that that happens. Right. So you would have to be willing to like help veterans.

1:18:10You'd have to spend money on mental health and you have that. But this is the problem is like doing those things doesn't really yield a lot of money. So people don't want to waste their money into it. That's what's fucked up. Right. They do whatever they can get away with. And if they get away with like using the veterans and not paying for them to be better, they just do. Also, everyone's like, well, they can go to a VA hospital. It's like, I've seen how hard it is to get services from there and that's a person that's not really crazy and messed up from war. Right. So it's like, you're making it so hard for these people that go and serve the country.

1:18:40I know. I talked to JD Vance about this. Talk to him about psychedelics. What do you say? Well, he wasn't aware of it, honestly. And so he was interested in it. And hopefully now that he's actually the vice president, I could connect him with some people that could perhaps show him some things and explain to him all the different ways that they've figured out, especially in other countries, like in Mexico to help veterans. I began the big one. I began cell -cibin, Iowasco. All these different psychedelics have shown to have remarkable effects. Even for depression, I think people take it. They microdose.

1:19:18Yeah, well, not just microdose. The IBegin one is, I've never done that, but what I understand, it's like, almost like a 24 -hour out, you know what I'm saying? It's like a 24 -hour experience that shows you like a movie of your life. I don't wanna see that. It shows you apparently, and this is just me hearing what other people told me. But it explains to you why you have these problems and shows you what developed, where the issue started. And by seeing that, you could figure it out. You go, oh, okay, well, I won't do that anymore. Now I get it. Now I get with this hole I've been trying to fill is.

1:20:00I don't need to fill the hole anymore. But that's the thing, I feel like I know what was probably wrong with my childhood. I know that, but it doesn't fix me. Right, it's different. It's not just knowing it. It's like seeing it at almost like a subatomic level. Like seeing the process, seeing what's going on inside of you and recognize that this is a very bad path to follow. Not just knowing it and still doing it. Not just like not being able to get out of a habit, not being able to get out of a pattern of behavior. But to see the source of it, the path, where it takes you and the right way to go.

1:20:40And to see it laid out, we go, oh, I could just do this and just let that go and move on and be a better person, be a healthier person, be happier. Yeah. And so many people that I know have done that. They've stopped drinking, stopped opiates. You know, opiates is a big one. So the big one that it helps, I began does. And I began as like completely non -addictive. Apparently it's a terrible experience and nobody wants to do it again. I began? Yeah, you do it. What is it? It's from the abogatory, which is an African tree that has, it's a very bizarre, I don't know what category of psychedelic it's in, but it's not technically, it's not like psilocybin, it's not, which is mushrooms, it's not like dimethyltrip demean, which is ayahuasca.

1:21:24It's something completely different, some different pathway, but particularly effective. Again, I've never tried it, but everybody I've talked to that has, particularly effective in curing addictions. Interesting. I've never heard of that. Yeah, I know quite a few guys. My friend Ed Clay, he actually opened up a place in Mexico because he heard his back. He's a jujitsu guy. A lot of jujitsu guys fucked their backs up. They probably could have done like, and then you go to, yeah, you got an operation or you get a pill, you need some pain pills because you literally can't tie your shoes because your fucking back is flared up and then next thing, you know you're hooked.

1:21:59And thanks to the soccer family, those sweeties. You need so much money though. Those fucking monsters. We were just talking the other day about they started the volume thing too. They were responsible for the volume thing in the 1970s. Same family. It's a family of demons. Sure. Just fucking monsters. And no one's a Jew. I watched the documentary. I guess it was about the secular family. Was it like, what? Was it a Netflix one? I don't know. There was a couple. There was one on I think Kulu and there were, and then there was one also on Netflix. Yeah, there was dope sick. I watched dope sick, that was the same.

1:22:33Who was the Netflix one called, Jimmy? Pain killer. Is that what it's called? That's the Peter Berg one. Peter Berg came in and explained it all to us and talked about the documentary. It's fucking great. It's so good because it's like, they're such demons. And just to know that people like that exist and walk amongst us. That's it. Well, listen, speaking of Netflix, go watch. Master of Roderick fucking kills it in that too. Go watch my Netflix special. Yes, the dark green. The Netflix special. Tell her, where's your film at? We filmed it at the seller. Oh nice. Nice. That must be good for you, right?

1:23:07Comfortable. Yeah, just because I'm used to it. But I gotta tell you, your club is amazing. I love it. Thank you. I would definitely film it. Yeah, I would definitely film my next one there. Everyone's been trying to get you to move here. I'm gonna be moving here. Oh, shit. I'm gonna come here, probably a little bit in December and then I'm going to LA to promote the dark queen and then I'll be here in January. Oh, shit. I know. Nice. And I'll be seeing Marshall all the time. So the last time I talked to you about this was in the bar at Mitzies, you mean Bridget? That's right. Do we push over the top?

1:23:37Well, Ari was like said the meanest thing to me. Wanna see the text at Ari's time? Sure, yeah. He said me a text like Adrian's coming to Austin convinced her to move there. He's telling everyone that. He's like, he goes, well fine, just be a feature of the rest of your life. I was like, all right, Ari, I get it. I'll find it. Fuck, there's too many. There's too many goddamn. But Ari's excited for the special. He's like, I think everyone's gonna be really upset. I was like, I hope so. I listen, I want people to like it, but I also know that it's trigger topics that people are gonna be upset by.

1:24:13Of course, but that's your specialty. I know. It's what you like doing that. But that's the thing I think people think I'm trying to be dark. It's just kind of who I am. Well, you joke around like that off stage as well. Right. And I think nothing of saying it. Well, if you were raised by a guy who took you to a smoke -filled off track batting when you were a little girl, when little girls want to go to the park and hang with their friends, and instead you're around a bunch of fucking gamblers and degenerates. I mean, yeah, my uncle was a hells -a -halle angel. Like, it's just my whole, everyone's crazy in my family.

1:24:47Yeah. So it's like the way you make fun. Yeah, and I had a friend in grammar school that killed himself, and we all went to the funeral and then went out after and all of our sense of humor is so dark. And you're like, oh, that's also where I got it. Where was this? In the Bronx. The Bronx, yeah. Well, the Bronx is, that's a high sense of humor type of place because there's just so much fucked up things going on. Right, and everyone's kind of poor. Yeah, and they have the darkest sense of humor because they've experienced the most. My mom also has a dark sense of humor. Really? Yeah. So it's just that's kind of passed down, I think.

1:25:21Well, I think your mom probably experienced a lot of fucked up things, too, obviously, and she was married to your dad, so that helps. She's like, my dad. Cops have the most fucked up sense of humor. Joke around with cops. When's it get comfortable with you? Oh, yeah. They see the worst shit all day long. Of course. Yeah, they have the most fucked up sense of humor. So the fireman. A hundred percent, yeah. Anyone that has like a high PTSD. EMTs. Anyone that has a high PTSD. What does it PTSD? And I did a lot of guys with PTSD. That's your thing? And then I just give them more. It's a cycle of PTSD.

1:25:55Or all should be hospitalized and institutionalized. Do you meet guys after shows? Like, how do you meet them? Like they kind of have to know what you do before they see you. Otherwise they're going to go, oh, Jesus Christ. I mean, I've had people like that. I think the tour preparing for the special was hard because it was just people coming out that didn't know my sense of humor. And if you don't know that and you're taking a chance on me, I'm not like that person to take a chance on. Right. Or I think sometimes they're like supporting a woman and I'm like, I'm not the right woman to take a chance on and support.

1:26:24I'm not going to get it. You're just not going to be happy. You're even so bad at you. I've had people walk out. I did that military joke in Texas. And like 20 cowboys just walked out. And I wasn't even saying anything bad about the military. I'm like, we just don't care. We don't care about that. Some people are just dumb and they see it as they're this much chance to make a protest. Let me just get up right now. But they hung in so long through the show where it was like, that was it? Yeah, it was probably 50 minutes in. Did you crack jokes about Jesus at all? Sure. And they were fine with that?

1:26:59Maybe they were on that. They didn't walk. Maybe Jesus put them to the edge of their sheet. It's interesting because both sides have woke things they're upset about. Oh yeah. I walk people about Ukraine, the Middle East. I was doing jokes about the Middle East and this lady was like, next. Yeah. Yeah. I used to have this joke about the Second Coming Project. Do you know what the Second Coming Project was? No. It was a thing that they were trying to do. Remember when Dolly the sheep, when they first cloned Dolly the sheep? Yes. Well, the idea was that they would take genetic material from the shroud of turn and they would clone Jesus.

1:27:33Great. My joke was, well, the cloning is not an exact science. Like, if you want to do it now, like, they had to do like 20 dollies before they got one dolly. Like, it was real. A lot of them come out all fucked up. Like, what happens if you clone Jesus and he comes back with Down syndrome? And so the whole joke is about following Jesus around and he's wearing a hockey helmet and turning a dog shit in the cookies. So did they actually do it? No, they never did. Oh, okay. It's kind of a bullshit thing. But this lady goes next subject and I just kept going on with it. I was like, no. Religious people are so weird to me.

1:28:10It's not even a religious thing. It's just some people just, they don't want to hear wild things. They don't want to hear things you're not supposed to say. They don't hear them all day at work. They come out in a comedy club and they want to sort of apply their sensibility. But like if you're willing to believe a wild story like that, how about believe this other wild thing could happen to you? Well, the thing is it's not, it wasn't totally a wild story. I think it was people that were ignorant as to the science that were proposing it because they thought this would be the pathway to bring Jesus back.

1:28:42What is Jesus going to be doing anyway? Well, who knows? I mean, depending upon what that means. Right. If that is the pathway, let's just imagine. Okay, everybody is thinking, if you're really religious, you believe that one day we'll have the rapture and Jesus will return. Okay. So if God created us in His image and God instilled in us an insane sense of curiosity that has led people to create things like genetic engineering and cloning. And then we have an understanding of genetic material not where we are now, but maybe in a future to sense where you could literally get a cotton swab from a person and reproduce them.

1:29:24That's all they need. Cotton swabs all they need for 23 and mate, right? They get a little swab in your mouth and they sell you data to China. And then you, but that I never do that. I did it. I just want to know what's going on. Those are all things I do. What did you find out? Mostly Italian, some Irish, 1 % Asian, 1 .6 % African. You're 81 % Asian? 1 % Asian, 1 .6 % African. Yeah. I would think the Asians probably like gang is conscious. I think gang is conscious. Fuck so many people. It's just gotten to so many people. So many different places. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. That guy fucked everybody.

1:29:59He had, we've talked about it before, but I always forget the number. There's a certain percentage of people on earth that have his DNA and it's astounding. It's an astounding number. It's pretty cool. Well, he also killed 10 % of the population while he was alive. Yeah, and that's why he was like repopulating them. Well, it took a lot of slaves, sex slaves. They called them wives back in those days. It was different. But when they would conquer people, he'd just take their wives, take everybody's wives. I mean, it sounded like the thing you should do. That was his move. It's not bad. It's interesting that all these years later, and he's not thought of as a monster.

1:30:35He thought it was like a historic figure. Yeah. Because Hitler times 100. Like sure. He was fucking insane. These two light bodies on fire and then use them as catapults. They would launch them onto roofs to burn the roofs down. That's how they would scare people, just take them. Would it have been a crazy way of doing that? They did so many insane things. One thing they did was when they would capture a city, they would take the generals and all the different people, and they would create a platform and lay all these people out and then stack the platform on top of them. Then they would all climb on top of the platform and eat.

1:31:15So they would eat lunch while they were crushing these people to death slowly. That's crazy. Would the people dead already? No, no, no, they killed them that way. Yeah. I think that's how he killed royals. That was his move for killing royal people. Like instead of just slaughtering them outright and hacking what they were just kind of crush them. There's a bunch of different ways they would kill people. They would take, when they would capture people, they would use those people at the front of the line and push them towards their own army. So they would sack a city, capture a hundred thousand people, take those hundred thousand people and put them at the front line and press them to go further into the city.

1:31:54And those people would just get slaughtered in front of them and they would eventually kill everybody there. That's crazy. It was so crazy that there's a guy named Dan Carlin. He's got an amazing show called Hardcore History. And he's got this one episode called The Wrath of the Con. It's not, it's five episodes, but there's one series and it's all about King is Con. And one of the stories is about the Shaw of Chorisma. The Shaw is making a, he's making a trek to Jin China to like to see like what's going on over there. Like what do you guys got? Talk to the king and see what's happening in your city.

1:32:27Whoever the fuck's running in your city. And as they're going there, the roads were so fucked up with decayed bodies that they had abandoned the roads because all their wagons were getting stuck in the mud of decaying people. And they looked in the distance, they thought it was a snow covered mountain that they were looking at. When in the distance, it turned out it was a pile of bodies. They killed a million people and just stack them on top of each other in the middle of the town. They killed the entire city. They killed everyone. That's crazy. And there's no one to clean up the bodies. They just left the bodies.

1:33:01They didn't give a fuck. They just kept moving. It's wild. Imagine living back then. Yeah, I know. You know, your real bear is getting stuck in someone's head. I know. Yeah. If people would take in gender studies in class today. Back then, back then. I can't even fucking just running for their lives. It's crazy. Yeah. I guess that we get to do stuff that's sometimes so dumb and like people are like just fighting to stay alive. Well, it's also interesting that like over time that becomes less and less acceptable. Like the horrors of Gaza, when we find out about it today, like everyone's outraged.

1:33:41Back then wouldn't be the same type of horrors, obviously, because they didn't have missiles. But horrors are just horrors. This is what I'm saying. Sure. Yeah. You're just killing people. Yeah. It's so it's way grosser today. Well, because we also have photos and everything of it, right? Back then, they saw it in real life, which is way worse. You had to be there to see it, right? Right. But if you were alive in 1200, let's imagine you and I were alive in 1200, how many people do you think we would have seen get slaughtered with swords and arrows and shit in front of us by now? Probably a ton.

1:34:13A ton? It becomes a sense of highs, dude. It becomes a thing. Like when I first started watching the walking, what is it? Yeah, walking dead. Walking dead. You're like, I can't believe they just did that. And then two episodes in, you're like, oh, this is normal to me. Yeah. And it's gotta be kind of like back then. You watch someone's like, get blown off and then you're like, oh, yeah, that's just like a Tuesday. Yeah. People get real accustomed to things. And if you're real accustomed to barbaric living and slaughtering people and lighting them up, and firing, launching them and catapults onto the thatched roofs of these houses and watching Burn.

1:34:46Right, you can't imagine not doing that. If that's all you say. It's what you do. Yeah. That's what we do. That's just what we do. Yeah, they didn't wash. They wore their clothes until they rotted off of their skin. Yeah, I mean, I think if they're like catapulting dead bodies. It's like who cares what you're wearing? Sometimes they just lived off the blood of their horses. They would just drink the horses blood. And that's what they sustain themselves with. But then you just need your horse. So it's like trial. Horse keeps eating. You don't kill them. You just cut a little nick in their neck.

1:35:16And you just suck a horse's blood? Yeah, that's what they would do. They would take it and put it in a jar. You really could survive. Like if you were just somewhere by yourself, you could. You, I don't think I could, but I think you could survive. I would need stuff. See the thing about you need a horse. You need stuff. You need, you need physical things like you need shelter and knives. And you need something to start a fire with. You need something that you can hunt with. Sure, but if I had that same stuff, I would be dead. And you would thrive. I wouldn't thrive. You would survive for a little while.

1:35:49I didn't know you could drink horses blood. Yeah, but you got to keep that horse alive. And then you have the horse is going to die. The horse is eating dead people. The horses don't eat meat. They don't? No. They do occasionally eat the birds. What if they're starving? They won't eat like a person? No. No, they're not interested in rotting bodies. They're, they're herbivores. Wow. But they do occasionally eat birds. There's this really fucked up video of this horse following this bird or as a cow following this bird around. I've seen horses do it too. Where they found like a ground nesting bird.

1:36:21And they just eat it. And the mother birds like flying at them, pecking at them like, shout the fuck off, and eat your baby. At least she tried. Deer do it all the time. Deer do it. It's so bad. Like they had this net that they used to catch birds. And the deer found the birds in the net. And so the deer would just go up to the net and feast like a grapevine. Right, like a buffet. Eat all these birds. And that's when we sort of understand that if a deer catches a bird's lip and they just eat them. Yeah, why wouldn't you? Because they're plants. It's like, you know, a bird is kind of like caviar to them, probably.

1:36:59Mm, a lick. Yes, a little fog -wag. Don't mind if I do. Yeah, have you ever seen cows eat birds? No, it's fine. A video of cows eat grass. I've only seen cows eat grass. They eat birds. It disturbs a shit out of people who are like peaceful. They're like, you know, I think, you know, the less suffering we have, the better. But also a bird can fly away. It's kind of their fault. Oh, not babies. Survival of the fittest. Your dead. You're now dead. It's probably nature's way of keeping baby birds overwhelming us. Why wouldn't you put your bird nest higher? It's on the mom. Look at this. Look at this cow.

1:37:36Oh, yeah, she's going right into his mouth. Yep. Chomp, chomp, chomp. Oh, yum, yum, yum. It's so weird that they decide that they want to eat that. Just weird. It's weird that they just decide. Look at that. Right, why wouldn't you just eat the kid? Yeah, kid. I don't know how to eat that bird. Kid comes with people, people have guns. They figure it out after a while. You think so? They know the guns are coming? They know that people can kill him. I definitely think they know that people are in control. I don't think they feel a sense of power with these kinds of kids. Also, you can eat that kid in one gulp.

1:38:04Right. People are going to know. Right. Right. You could just eat it in one gulp. Yeah, I mean, just say what kid. You know what happens to the kid? I don't know what happens to the kid. She says, I eat nothing. I'll help you look. Yeah. Let's all look. You ever shoe in your mouth? I'll help you look. Well, that was a legitimate concern for people hundreds of years ago. Your kid would get eaten. Sure. If it's out in the yard, wolves, I mean, that's like the big bad wolf. That's what all that shit was. Little red running. Imagine like your kid survives cholera and then it just gets eaten. Oh. Oh.

1:38:37Okay, I can't believe it. Right. Like, that's not even that long ago. The people were dying at cholera. How many years do you think that was? Who knows? I mean, how many different fucking diseases killed people just because of poor sanitation? That's what a lot of that stuff came from. Sure. A lot of that stuff came from poor sanitation. We just think about how many people were just dying in these cities because of the plague because they throw their shit out the windows. I mean, rats and bugs. Yeah. I think I would learn pretty quickly if I threw my shit out the window once that like that's not great.

1:39:09I think you would think that, but there's people in India that's shit in the street to this day. I mean, I watch a video where there's like a parade and they're just throwing shit. Like, that's part of the parade. That doesn't, is that an India? Yes. We could... We could... Yes. It's... Oh, shit. It's like different kind of shit. It does shit. It's gross, but it's not like human shit. Human shit is the best. I'm sure you don't think anyone's mixing human shit in at this Dung Festival. Yeah, but they're not. I bet they're like, hey, let's spice it up. Yeah, but it's not pure dog. It's clean as you think, maybe.

1:39:37Oh, Jesus Christ is throwing at each other. Imagine like this is what you sign up for and they're all smiling. I don't get the appeal. Ugh, I don't know. Maybe how like, you know, if you eat a lot of sugar, you get that candida. And maybe if you play with shit enough, you get that shit bacteria. I mean, their teeth look so white because they're covered in shit. They're just covered in shit. Guys, shit. Shall we're up? This is ridiculous. We have the deal with the infections from the cow. How are they not? What is going on here? We won't get any infections from the cow dung, he says. Wait, what is he saying?

1:40:15What was his statement? I think it was the coronavirus and other viruses. But back it up before that. Okay, here, heaps of cow dung are brought in one place. We all play in it. We have had to deal with the coronavirus and other viruses. So we believe we won't get any infections from the cow dung. Okay, I mean, you see this and then you're like, you know what, it's not that bad that we're doing unboxing videos. I mean, these are kind of, these guys are basically content creators. They are content creators, but they don't know that. They don't know that we're watching these videos. I mean, can you imagine just being in there and just throwing shit at someone?

1:40:53How do they not know now though? It seems like in this day and age. I don't think that's an old video either. Do you see when they give Amazon tribes starlink and they give them phones? He said Amazon, I just thought of Amazon like that I order stuff from. Oh yeah, not the other one. I just want regular Amazon. I order stuff from Amazon. It's like a $3 thing and somebody's driving to my house and dropping off like whatever it is floss. They figured it out. I never buys toothbrushes from the fucking store. I just click a link, bam. But it's like so, I'm spending such a little money for stuff that someone's driving to my house to drop it off.

1:41:30Eventually it's just gonna be drones. I mean, it's gonna be like, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee. Drop it off at your head. Drop it off at your house. And then these people, those are some of the grossest people. People that steal people's packages. Especially during the holidays. People that steal. Don't even know what's in there. But that's the fun you get and you're like, this could be a TV. This could be an iPhone or could all, it could also just be toothbrushes. There's so many funny videos that people get embusted, you know? I've seen them, yeah. People are just stealing videos for like Christmas.

1:42:01If you live in a neighborhood where someone steals your packages, that's such a shitty feeling. There's fucking people in your neighborhood that are clocking what's getting dropped off at your house. Yeah, Chris Rock, he's to have a bit about putting, if you bought a new TV, I had to be careful putting the box out on the street and the garbage because people would know you have a new TV. They know you have a new TV. And then when I break in your house, it's still your TV. I mean, now TVs are worth nothing. There was nothing. TVs, I remember in 1994, when I first moved here, I got a big TV for the first time.

1:42:33It was fucking big. It was like this big. 1994 was a great year. It was like 24 inches. But it was like, yeah, to pick it up. Like it was a giant -ass TV. Like it had a whole back to it. Yeah, but it's humongous. And then it was one of those years. Like 94, 95, they came out with a plasma TV. And it was $20 ,000. And it was like 40 inches and flat. And because it was flat, you look like shit, it didn't even look good. Because it was 40 inches and flat, it was like $20 ,000. I remember thinking, that is the dumbest thing. Like I'm paying $20 ,000 for this space behind the TV. Like I don't care about the space behind the TV.

1:43:11There's like six feet between the TV and the wall. What do I give a fuck? There's an extra 12 inches of TV behind it. What are you stupid? You could pay $20 ,000 because it's flat. I guess people aren't hanging out on the wall. It was a thing to let people know you had it. You had money. Yeah, you had a plasma TV. Right. So you think you find a plasma TV from 1995 -ish. They looked like shit. I think it was, it must have been 96 because that was when I first bought a house. They looked like shit. And they were $20 ,000. I was like, this is crazy. There were so heavy those big TVs. Oh, giant. Might not have been 20 grand.

1:43:47I might be exaggerating, but it had to be like eight or nine. And this was like, again, 95 -ish. How much did they cost back then? I remember that TV right there, the silver one where it comes with its own stand kind of. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what you go over to the person's house. That person has the Super Bowl party. Yeah, you got to have friends help you carry that in. So it was Fujitsu in 95. Fujitsu introduced the first 42 -inch, and it was how much money? We're gonna save right here. Price. I know how to write that. Right there. Sample price for the 42 -inch Jeep was $1 ,000 ,000, $1 ,000 ,000 ,000, but Fujitsu aimed to sell it for about $500 ,000 ,000 per unit.

1:44:31What is that in dollars? What's $1 ,000 ,000? In dollars. $6 ,000. $6 ,000. So $6 ,500. That's still a lot of money. Still a lot of money. So it wasn't 20 grand. I exaggerate. But it was just, the regular TV was like a hundred. Like, what, I was just a regular TV. It wasn't that much money. But if you had that, you were the man. Like, oh, Bobby must be doing really well in Hollywood. Look at this. Look at that. Flotsport television. Oh, 10 grand. By the year 2000, prices had dropped at 10 grand. Oh, prices had dropped at 10 grand. So maybe it was 20 ,000. So what did they start at? Interesting.

1:45:09See if it says up there. Oh, 14 ,000. 15 ,000. Okay, one of the first plasma TVs. I think it was a Phillips that I saw. It was available at four Sears locations in the US. 15 grand. Is there Sears anymore? I don't know. I haven't seen a Sears forever. I'm wearing a Sears. When I was like a kid, I got like a Sears credit card. And I just bought like my ex boyfriend at the time, like rims for his car. And that's what you just spend your money on. I don't even. I, the Sears is almost like the Bernstein bear's effect. Like the fact he said Sears was like, oh, that's a thing. I got from it. How about Sears?

1:45:46But how could that not be a thing? Like Sears was huge. I love a website. Really? But do they have any locations? There's no locations though. Oh, I mean, it's given me a store locator, but it's not show me a map. But that's a weird one. Like Sears, like that had left my memory until this. And then you saying it like even knew I said Sears available at Sears, then you started going Sears. It's a remit. Oh, I remember Sears. And then I was like, I remember Sears do. Do you remember where nobody beats the Wiz? Do you remember that store? Yes. Do you remember crazy eddies? Yes. Crazy Eddie was actually crazy.

1:46:22Yeah, turns out nine left. Oh, wow. One in Puerto Rico, eight on the mainland. Interesting. We should take a road trip just to go to a Sears. We should feel the one in Puerto Rico. We should bring Tony. Bring Tony. That'd be amazing. First of all, Puerto Ricans were not upset by the, I mean, I'm sure some were, but like my friends were like, I'm still voting for Trump. Puerto Ricans can take a joke. Yes. They're some of the best shit talkers on Earth. Absolutely. It's common in Puerto Rican communities just have fun and joke. Absolutely. It's not a super sensitive neighborhood. It's a super sensitive ethnic group.

1:47:01No, but most people didn't care. They're like, I don't care. It was a stupid thing to do it there, but it turned them into a legend. It longs Trump one. If Trump didn't win, we're going to have to hide him. For real? Yeah, I was going to hide him. I was going to move him to Thailand or something. To Thailand? Yeah, he's got to get out of the United States for a while. For how long now? A while, depending on how bad sideways things go. If common errors becomes present in a deep state takeover and they completely censor all social media or move everybody's guns, force vaccinations on all your babies, everybody gets a sex change.

1:47:32Who knows? Who knows? Who knows?

1:47:41Who knows? Puerto Rico. You know, there were stories that were ready to be published if Trump lost blaming it on Tony. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. Blaming it on that one joke in Masses, where the facts is, and Tony will tell you, actually, Puerto Ricans voted 26 % more for Trump, which is true. They probably did. Than ever before. Yeah. Well, people were fucking fed up. People were fed up. I didn't even vote. None of this makes any sense. I mean, I think, honestly, most people right now, their main concern is like they can't even afford groceries. Exactly. So they're like, whoever I think is going to help me with that.

1:48:19Listen, I don't know what is true or not true, but like people who are like, I can't afford to feed my kids. It is so crazy. I was watching this guy on an MSNBC, and he was dismissing that in terms of like, when people think a certain way, like people have like a particular, if they're a leftist or if they're a fundamentalist Christian, they have one thing in common, and that thing that they have in common is, they want everyone to think like them. Sure. And this guy was saying that about like young people listening to podcasts, and they're getting air quotes radicalized, and that we need something that can do this from a feminist perspective, and teach young men feminism.

1:49:01The whole thing was so strange, but one of the things that he said to us the most strange, he said, instead of like these minor grievances, like the price of eggs or someone is teaching you something, your kid something in history that you don't agree with, instead of those minor things, like what's major then, man? Food for kids. Food for your family. History is history. And in history, well, you know, he said something you don't agree with. Like what, I don't know what that means. But education is primary. It's one of the most important things for kids. You got to, for the view of the world, they have to be correctly informed.

1:49:37It really helps if you have a good education. Sure. And then if you have food, if you're going to afford eggs, that really fucking helps. And so this idea that these are minor issues, and the important issue is connecting men to feminism. Listen, you can do that if you want, but like most people right now are like, I can't afford to pay for groceries for my kids. I don't even have kids, but like people are like, I can't afford to buy groceries. Of course, but people are making more money now, or like, I can't save any money. Yes. Everything's more expensive. People are fucking out of touch. I'm clearly out of touch.

1:50:08Clearly. But I remember when I was poor, I understand it. I really do. And I know what the fuck is going on. And I know people are saying, hey, this isn't a minor deal. This is like one of the biggest deals. You guys fucked up the economy, and you're gaslighting everybody, and telling everybody you didn't. You guys have spent billions of dollars on a war that nobody agrees with hundreds of billions, and you gaslighting us. Yeah, I just also like these teachers that are just like spending all their own money for supplies for, it's like, what are you doing? Crazy. Why do teachers not have supplies for kids?

1:50:41Right. They are the future generation. So if they don't have food, and they don't have, they're not like being instructed in learning stuff, and you have these schools where there's so many kids to one teacher. The United States is like someone who owes you money, and they say they don't have it, and they keep buying cars. That's what it's like. Kind of. It's like, how did you have the money to spend all this money on another country, when you don't have any money to spend on the education of kids? I mean, homelessness, the veterans. Okay, let's just pick education. Like, how much could they fix education with 175 billion dollars?

1:51:13You shouldn't have a teacher that needs to buy supplies. Right. Imagine this. Imagine if companies were incentivized. Like, what if they got government grants based on how well the kids performed in the school districts? That would be great. Yeah. Like, literally make it like Haliburton for schools. Like, you know, Haliburton, they blew up Iraq, Haliburton comes in and cleans everything up. How something that profits off these places getting better, and the better they do in terms of dropping in crime, education rates, graduation rates, college rates, everybody gets more money. Figure that out.

1:51:45Figure that out. I mean, they just want more money for prisons. They do that too. There's be don'ts in the nots spend on education, and you could just have these people who have to turn to crime and put them in prisons, and that's how you'll get money. There's a bunch of things they did in the 80s that still fuck with us today, and that's one of them. That's a big one. Then the 80s must have been so wild, because there's no computers, and it's just like TV in the newspaper, and everyone's running wild, and Reagan's the president. So nobody thinks anything's real. You got a fucking movie star as the president.

1:52:17JFK's dead. Nobody still understands that one. Wasn't Reagan's wife the one that was called the throw goat? Allegedly. Yes. Give her her flowers. I think she is the thing. Well, I mean, you could bestow that upon someone to besmirque their memory. You could do that. It's hard to say. Is that necessarily a bad thing? But also the kind of guy that can capture up a president probably knows how to get things done. Yeah. Yeah. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Good for her. I think it's a good thing. It's a, I mean, every guy would agree. Sure. Yeah, it's a good skill for a lady to have. Didn't know there's a problem with how you learn that.

1:52:53Unless you're a savant, first dick you suck, you're just like, wow. Somebody had to just figure that out. There were like, like, less. Back in the Roman days. You think so. Oh, yeah. Probably guys showing each other out of suck each other off. Everybody was blowing everybody back then. They're just, you know, throwing bodies on fire. And then also there's throw goat classes. And then what their balls smell like back then? Disgusting. I can't even imagine. Jesus Christ. You'd probably put shit on their balls. You couldn't smell it. They're actually a ball smell. You're like, I'd rather smell a strange shit.

1:53:23I wasn't to that. So gross. That has to be the worst smell. Do you ever see how they wipe their asses? Where in the Roman times? Yeah, they would take a sponge that was on a stick. It was a communal sponge. Well, communal sponge. Why did I just see this on like Instagram or something? Yeah, it's like just, I think I'm all set. I went to Pompeii. And I took my family there a few years ago. It's really interesting. Because these people died like instantaneously. And then they've sort of uncovered a lot of it. And one of the things that they uncovered was like this communal, like, shit house. So it's just like these holes around this, like a horseshoe pattern.

1:54:00Yeah, like that. So these holes, so these dudes just sit there and just chat into the ground. So it's like kind of a toilet kind of idea? It's kind of, but I mean, I don't think there's any water. And there's the sponge. That's the sponge. Look at the word they had in me for it. How often did they? Zylo sponge. How often did they change the sponge? They couldn't change it enough. You had your own sponge. It's not enough, but like a month. You're dunking into that fucking, okay, hold on a second. Academics disagreed to its exact use, about which the primary sources of vague. It has traditionally been assumed that a type of shared anal hygiene utensil used to wipe after defecating.

1:54:43And the sponge is cleaned in vinegar or water, sometimes salt water. Other recent research suggests it was most likely a toilet brush. Yeah, I mean, they're probably cleaning a toilet and also your assholes. Yeah, maybe it was all those things. Middle of the first century, Roman philosopher, Sennaka the Younger, reported that a Germanic gladiator died by suicide with a sponge on a stick. According to Sennaka, the gladiator hid himself in the latrine of an amphitheater and pushed the wooden stick deep into his throat. Yo. Did he take that sponge off first? No, we wanted to die that way. We wanted to suffocate himself.

1:55:24That's how much he didn't want to fight in the gladiator wars. He also shit stick. Means a thin steak or stick used instead of toilet paper for anal hygiene and was a historical item of material culture introduced to Chinese Buddhism and Japanese Buddhism. A well -known example is, I don't know, not even gonna try to say that word, where'd it go? Oh. Well, an example, a dry shit stick from the Chan Zen, I'm not gonna say that word, in which among, among asked, what is Buddha and master Yunmin Unmon answered a dry shit stick? Buddha is a dry shit stick because everybody got a shit stick that had everybody else's shit already on it and you just smear an extra shit on your butt.

1:56:11It's like I'll just have my own shit. Yeah, you're dunking it in the water, but how clean is it really get? And then it's just soaked in shit water and you're taking that and you're wiping your own asshole with it? I'm glad that I was not. I'm glad I was not born during math time. What do you think people in the future gonna be saying about this time, though? What are they gonna be most shocked that we did that was so stupid? I don't know. Because if we're looking back at Pompeii, what was Pompeii? What year did that go down? It's when like 67 AD? Yeah, it's pretty wild when you're there. It's weird because you get to see some of the bodies they preserved that are just completely frozen in place, like the ash overwhelmed them.

1:56:52And they're just like, like almost like a little stone statue. 79 AD. You show me some of the photos of the Pompeii victims. So there's like people that are like just piled on top of each other. Like that's it, right there. They just were overwhelmed by ash. Just volcanic ash, the volcano, the heat and the gases just killed everybody. Like almost instantly, just completely overran the town. It's pretty insane. That is the same. Because it's just weird that people don't know that, like when they're building these cities, they don't know that that can happen. Like look at that. I mean, I wouldn't know that that can happen.

1:57:39No, no one knew back then, but I mean, we know now. Look, look at that. That's so crazy. That's what it looks like. I mean, that's a human being that was just let it turned into a statue in place. Fuck. There was one where these two guys were embracing. And someone tried to say that it was perhaps there were lovers. And someone on Twitter was a very funny comment. Like, Jesus Christ, imagine dying in front of your friend. And then everybody finds it like, oh, a news gate. Imagine like jerking off. Right, you die. You need to middle of it. You have your hand on your balls. And you're just fucking now frozen in time, like that.

1:58:15Forever. At least nobody knows who you are. That's true. Yeah, those are the guys. I don't know. Those people, yeah, that looks that's on the way down. Yeah. It's fucked up way to go. Instantaneously. It's weird like that's Bob and Tom. And when I was a kid, Mount St. Helens blew up. What year was that, Jamie? Mount St. Helens was in the Pacific Northwest and was a big deal. Because it was an actual real volcano that killed people in the United States. And we were like, whoa. Like, what? I thought volcano was like in other countries, 1980. So I was not even in high school.

1:58:54Yeah. That was, uh, that was a crazy one. How many people died from Mount St. Helens? 57. Yeah, they knew it was an active volcano, but they didn't think. Well, it's like people live on the side of active volcanoes. Like in Hawaii, there's a bunch of people that live on the side of an active volcano. When I was in Hawaii, I think there was one of the volcanoes to go off. Yeah. It happened when I was there too. At the big island. The big island is very active. There's crazy film of lava overcoming this Mustang. Have you ever seen it? No. There's a Mustang parked in front of the street. And the lava is coming from this eruption.

1:59:34And it just slowly consumes the street and eats this car. Right in front of this doot house. Like these people have been living there, chilling their whole life. Coming home from school. Hi, mom. I'm home. Did your insurance cover that? Probably not. They try to cover as little as possible. Oh, I know. If you live on the side of an active volcano, like. It's like, hey, I'm going to give volcano insurance. Yeah, that's, uh, that's up to you, player. But I want, I want to have my expensive car. Yeah, I had a friend who, um, he had some crazy situation. I think he had like flood insurance, but he didn't have damage from water from a hurricane insurance.

2:00:13So like, your roof can get destroyed from a hurricane. And you don't have insurance for that, but you have insurance if like your pipe's break. Like you got fucked in some sort of a weird loophole. What's weird to it stuff like that? Anytime it's like an adjuster, if you get the right adjuster, they can do whatever you want. Oh, yeah. But you have to get an adjuster who's going to do it. I got used to call and do like appeals for, um, health insurance stuff. And if you kind of sweet talk someone, they might just put it through for you. You have to just keep calling back. You get an adjuster that's going to give you what you want.

2:00:47Or you have to charm them in person. Yes. Yeah. That's what, because they're just regular people. Right. And they could decide. Absolutely. They hold so much power sometimes. That's a crazy power to have. Right. Don't let you get your house fixed. Right. Or like your car's total, then we're going to pay for it or we're not. Yeah. Or you're going to have a shaky ass car for the rest of your life. As you take it on the highway, you ever had a car that's fixed that really probably shouldn't have been fixed? I mean, my first car I had was like, um, a Ford tempo. And I remember the steering wheel, like, came off in my lap.

2:01:22As I was driving it. And I was just like, picked it up and just kept driving. You put it back on. Oh, I should not have been driving that car. Oh my god. When you're a kid and you buy shit boxes, like the chances of those things just completely falling apart as you're driving are so high. My dad also would just like want a paint a car. So he would just like start painting a car and prime it like half of it and then he'd give up. So we'd have like a two colored car as a child. It's like so embarrassing. Yeah, if you have a poor car, oh yeah, we had poor cars. Yeah, poor cars all the time. And then my mom got into a car accident and then we got a car with that money.

2:01:58Oh, the Ford tempo was like five grand. I had like bright red plethora inside. Bright red plethora. Oh yeah, that was driving that car. Me, my friend on the highway and I'm like, oh, the steering wheel just came down, but it's still connected. It's like, just pick it up and like make the turn. Oh, so like the thing that adjusts the steering wheel dropped off? I don't know. It just like fell in my lap when I was driving. And I just picked it up and like still drove it. Jesus Christ. There's a lot of those cars out there. That's why we need inspections. Adrian, it's very important. My dad, though, knew a guy who would just keep passing that car.

2:02:34Yeah. Those guys are a problem. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It's like the right, it's a person that's like not an adjuster, but like if you know them, they'll do it for you. Yeah, my friend was telling me about that for muscle cars in Los Angeles. So there's a place you can go in like the hood and this guy will completely pass like any car. I was like, that sounds like an FBI sting. Yeah, but I mean, there's so many things like that. Yeah. Well, especially in New York. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, New York is all about knowing a guy. Well, about knowing a guy. It's all about like what you can get away with.

2:03:04Yeah. New York City is disgusting. And I've lived there my whole life. I hate it, but I can't imagine like living anywhere permanently for the rest of my life. What do you think is going to be the hardest adjustment about moving here? I don't know. I'm not sure. I mean, I can't live here during the summer. I can't do it like trying to roaches, whatever, like whatever those things are. I just can't. I'm out. Jamie, do you experience a lot of flying roaches? I just see them out. Like it was like 105 degrees here when I came last June, but Ari and it was just like we were in his hat. He got a really nice Airbnb.

2:03:42He probably brought them with him. There were a lot of crickets this year, but I don't think that's what's different. I mean, I was in the room in the bathroom and there was one like this big. A roach. Maybe there's cicadas, whatever they're called. Oh, yeah. Cicadas are very different than roaches. They look like roaches. People eat them. Sure. People eat people. Like it's definitely really a decent make it cooler. You could eat whatever you want. No, but I mean, it's like a delk. I see like people enjoy it. Sure. No, like I know a lot of, I know a guy who does it. God bless. That's not for me.

2:04:13My friend Ryan Callahan, he had a recipe of how to cook cicadas. Don't they look like big roaches though? He's like a bug. Anyway, I go to get Ari to kill it and he's like, oh, it just flew. I'm like, what? That is like a new fear unlocked. It flew. It probably was cicada. It probably was flew. Maybe it might not have been a roach, but like I've got to see. That's what a cicada looks like. I cannot. It's kind of cool. They're fucking cool. See if you find cicada recipes. See if you can find Ryan Callahan's cicada recipe. My friend Ryan, he would cook them with like teriyaki sauce and bake them.

2:04:49Yeah, apparently, look, I've gone to Mexico before and it's certain resorts in Mexico. They'll serve you like fried crickets. Sure. Have you seen that? I've heard about it. Yeah, fried crickets are grasshoppers. I figured which one. But they're good. They taste good. They're fried crunchy. Yeah, crunchy and it was kind of salty. It's pretty good. It's actually not bad for you, like legitimately. It's protein, right? Yeah. It's the same kind of animal protein that you get from a lot of different things. But protein from cicadas is apparently particularly good. It's like they're because they're big, I guess.

2:05:20Probably a lot of protein, those little fuckers. I mean, I just remember being out like outside on like a bar here and they were just... That's all this for you, is the bugs? The heat's not great. You can handle the heat. I can handle the heat over those bugs. Just the bugs. I don't run into them. We can't, they fly. Adrian, I'm telling you, hang on the wrong spots. I'll show you where to go with those bugs. Sure, we went in the poor places, but like the bugs are just... I can't deal with the flies. Don't where the bugs are. It's not that big of a deal. Mosquitoes are a pain in the ass sometimes.

2:05:50I don't care about that. I mean, yeah, it's not great, but like those big things I can. It's like Lady Bird Lake. If you go around there, you're gonna... There's kind of be a lot of mosquitoes. They're all over the fucking place. But that's also what the bats keep in check. Have you seen the bat emergence before? No. Oh, it's fucking cool to shit. Bats were actually pretty cute. Well, there's the bridge, right? The South Congress Bridge. Yes, that's right. And if you go by the South Congress Bridge, there's people every night that are waiting for the bats to leave. Because millions of bats leave.

2:06:19So as billions of critters have emerged for seven years. So is this Ryan? Thanks, though. Okay, so you're showing... So you peel off the skin of these little fuckers? What is this guy doing? That's not Ryan Callan. I don't know who that guy is. I just find a video of him doing it then. Okay. But so this guy is just showing how you cook cicadas. So he's basically taking away the outside area. And you made a cicada taco for this kid and this lady. And they're eating it with a... She's freaking out. Whatever. Yeah. She said it's not bad. What was I just talking about before that, though? Well, we were moving on to something else.

2:06:56Oh, what I'll miss about being here as opposed to New York. Yeah, we talked about... Oh, the bats. That's what we're talking about. The bats eating cicadas. Show the bats emerging from the South Congress bridge. It's really crazy. I've only done it once where I went out there watching that. I like to see it. It's like a million bats. It's like the sky fills with bats and they kill all the fucking mosquitoes. They're death. Why are they not eating the cicadas also? Look at that. That's pretty cool, though. Yeah, I've never seen the photos of it. It's pretty badass. I've seen it live like that. And if you go under that bridge, you hear them.

2:07:29Yeah. Little fine rats clinging to the roof. Well, also they eat. They can't eat just the cicadas. They're mosquito killers. They keep the mosquitoes in check. They probably eat a bunch of bugs. I'm sure they don't only die on mosquitoes, but they're a significant factor in keeping the mosquito population down allegedly. That's what I read. It's fine if that's true. I think it's true, though. I think it's true. I think that's one of the main things that they don't... I find out if he lives in, I guess, the country. He's trying to put up those places where bats will come to eat the mosquitoes. I guess you put up those little bat houses or whatever.

2:08:03But fair mones in them, I guess. He's like, he can't get them to come there. He has a lot of mosquitoes because he lives by a lake. I bet bats, it's hard to get them to move in new areas. Because a bat, wherever bats live, if they live by a lake, there's probably plenty of bugs. Why would they take a risk to go somewhere where they're not sure if resources exist? They could just fly. Right, but they live under this bridge and they've been on this bridge forever. Well, yeah, I don't think he's going to get these bats. But you know what I'm saying? Like, when bats find a spot that works, they're not migratory.

2:08:33Right, they're just going to stay there. Yeah, they're just going to stay there. So to get them to go to a new spot, he's probably going to have to bring bats. We actually had a bat expert on the podcast. Do you know what I need? I need an expert for pantry moths. We'll try to find one. I mean, I have pantry moths for the last three months, and I can't get rid of them. They do migrate. Where they go. They migrate seasonally flying south for the winter and they're returning north in spring. Interesting. Yeah, that's how I heard about it. Because there's a bunch more in Houston. Right, so they probably, because Houston doesn't get as cold probably, but they probably have like an established range is what my point is.

2:09:10It's like bringing them to a new range, like to your friend's place. Right. It's going to be difficult because there's not a history of them being there. But I wonder if, who's that dude's name? What does it say? It says they eat between 10 ,000 and 30 ,000 pounds of insects, including mosquitoes, and every night, on their nightly flights, and harmful agricultural pests. They got to be honest. So Austin's bats are, they're fucking huge. They really, they come in handy. But fuck, what was I, asking about other than that? Merlin Tuttle. Yes, that's his name. Merlin Tuttle. So he's a bat expert, and he lives in Austin as well.

2:09:48Fascinating dude. He's been studying bats his whole life. He's a scientist. Is there still new stuff to find out about bats? Sure. Yeah. I mean, bats carry a lot of weird diseases. It's one thing, you know, like, and there's the crossover diseases that the coronavirus essentially was a bat disease that they took and fucked with. They made it vulnerable for humans. So they, they've done a lot of work with like bats and diseases. One of the craziest stories, though, there's these two doctors, they're two scientists, rather, and they, um, they were in Africa and they decided to set up photography to film these bats as they were flying out of the cave, because there's a certain cave in Africa that has like some fucking insane number of bats.

2:10:35It's just filled with them. And when these bats flew out, they shit. So these guys are on the ground in front of the bat cave, filming, and they didn't take into account they're gonna be covered in batshit. Just millions and millions of bats shitting in their face, and they died. They died of like some crazy hemorrhagic virus that just raged through their system. If you imagine you are a human being and you're essentially intravenously taking in batshit into your system, it's going in your eyeballs, it's going in your mouth, it's going through the blood brain barrier, the batshit's getting into your blood, and it's circulating through your whole body, and you just develop a horrible hemorrhagic virus.

2:11:30So you can't play a match at like you can play in cow shit? No, I don't think so. I think well bats eat a lot of like living organisms, unlike cows, you know? It's turning these crocodiles orange. Bat poop has turned these African cave crocodiles orange. I mean that orange crocodile. That's pretty dope. I like to like a pair of boots. Yeah, that kind of shit, right? Like natural, natural orange crocodile from Bat poop? You know, Bat guano is a very potent fertilizer, right? Because Bat guano has like, I think it has high levels of nitrogen. I think that comes from them eating all the insects so that like there used to be wars over Bat shit.

2:12:12And that's where the term Bat shit crazy comes from. Yeah. You did not know that. Guano was like a very expensive commodity because people needed it to grow crops. So if you could get... That's crazy. Yeah, Bat guano is apparently a very potent fertilizer. They have a 4 ,300 year old poop core in a Jamaican cave that they've been studying. What? That's 5 ,000 different species of bats have been shitting on for... Jesus Christ. Oh my God. Depositive into... Wow, sequential layers by generations of bats for over 4 ,300 years. And it's two meters tall. That is so crazy, largely undisturbed and holds information about changes in climate and how the bats food sources shifted over the millennia.

2:13:03Wow. Magic on a Jamaica for spring break and that's where you go. That is so crazy. That's so nuts. Yeah, I know. I'm trying to find a picture of it, but I'm seeing it. You know what I'm really fascinated with? Is things that existed only in myth but that every culture has, like dragons. Like I had this guy, Forest Galaunt. He's a wild left biologist. And he thinks that there's a real possibility that dragons were an actual thing. And that... Well, when dinosaurs were around? No, no. They lived alongside humans. That's where there's always records and all these different cultures. And you know, there's Chinese culture has dragons.

2:13:48Japanese culture has dragons. Ancient Europeans have dragons. Like dragon is a really not a fire breathing. That seems to be bullshit. But maybe even... What kind of, like, what would their purpose be? Well, they're probably like a crocodile that flies. There was probably more than one kind of really dangerous reptile that they call dragons. Like Komodo dragons. Giant lizard. They call it a dragon, right? Crocodiles, dragons. The question is whether or not one of them actually flew. Because we know that teradactyls were a real thing. And if teradactyls... I mean, they probably were real that. Yeah.

2:14:26I think it's probably something like that. You know, some kind of like enormous bird type creature. I only want a dragon if it's going to like just have fire come out of its mouth. All the time. Yeah. That's the only kind of dragon that's gone. So get on your enemies. Yes. Shut the fuck up. You know? Just send it to your house. Like when you're a game of thrones and that lady standing there and then you see the dragon's head slowly... I never watched Game of Thrones. I know. How dare you. I know. It's so good. I keep trying to get into it and I can't. The new one is... The new one is two seasons in the old one.

2:14:59It's so good. It's so good. It makes you want a dragon. The lady who... Was her name? Venerys? Who had the dragons? Is that her name? I have a name. You didn't want it either? Could you not get into it? It's too busy playing video games and golf. Bring me your... Oh, what are you going to reality? Bring me your puppy right now. Bring me Carl. Like a baby thing. I don't like fantasy. A back kind. You don't really like fantasy either. I don't know, sci -fi stuff a little more. Have you seen Three Body Problem? No, it was on my list to watch it in Hollywood. Is it good? Really good. By the guys who made games of thrones or the gals or non -binary folks, whoever the fuck it is.

2:15:41Whoever made it. Whoever made Game of Thrones. That's a thing that you repeat without looking any further. I don't know what producers or whatever, but the point is, it is a really, really good show. Really fun. And science fiction. And my wife was not even into science fiction. She loves it. I got to check it out. I really want Carl. It's good. I really want Carl. I do it with Carl. It isn't adorable. He's so cute. Yeah, he's got to rest up for Marshall. In about 15 -20 minutes, it's going to meet Marshall again. Marshall is just happy right now. Oh, yeah. He's happy when Carl's nowhere near him.

2:16:13He's like, Carl, please. I can't. Especially if he doesn't have a toy where they could play Tiger War. If they could play Tiger War, it's cool, but Carl is just awesome. Oh, yeah. As soon as I came in, he was just like, bag my sneaker. Yeah. He just wants to fight. He wants to play. He's still so young now. Yeah, he's a little baby. But he's also a crazy dog. He's a little torpedo. He launches himself through the air at Marshall. Yeah. Like if he was a person, he'd be a dictator. He's like nuts. He'd be a gladiator. He's like just jacked. Yeah. He'd be one of them dudes fighting. He wouldn't be the guy that killed himself with the shit sponge.

2:16:49No. No, no. He'd be killing people with the shit sponge just plunging it right in their throat. But you imagine if like today was the lion fight, you're like, I don't want to do this. I'd rather choke to death on a shit stick. Imagine I'm back in life as a bitch. Yeah, I think you're like, I'm just going to off myself with this shit stick. Imagine like, that's all you have to kill yourself is a shit stick. I mean, how bad your life is to suck to take this fucking sponge, covered in other people of shit and just bypass your gag instincts and stuff it down your hole until you die. The man you know, die right away either.

2:17:24You definitely don't die right away. You're just like ingesting those fumes. Yeah, you're throwing up in the middle of killing yourself by stuffing your thing. Someone thought that would kill them and they just tried smelling it until they died and it didn't work. Nah, they're probably used to that kind of smell. It's like smelling salts. I bet that shit wakes you right up. You want some? No, I used to work in a place that I'll do it, but I'm not going to do it that close. Oh, that's what people do with the shit stick. Oh my god, that was the biggest one I ever got ever. Oh my god, I thought it had lost a little bit of potency from the other day.

2:18:05Yo, I get delayed reactions. That one hit me harder than anyone. I've ever seen that close to me. It's like chlorine, but the most chlorine. So I worked in a place that did abortions. It was like an OB -GYN and they used that stuff to wake people up. Oh, fun. Oh, god, that is so bad. Good to dictate that. You want to try it again, don't you? No, I don't. You know, sure? I'll give you a couple minutes. I'm not a gambler. I'll do it from further away. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let me do it again. It's one of those things that everybody does and like what the fuck is like going to do it again.

2:18:41Let me try it again. Let me try it again. Everybody wants to try it again. That's brutal. Yeah, it's rough. It's rough stuff. What do they use that for besides? Weight lifters. I don't think they get knocked out. No, no, no. They take it right before they power lift. Why? It looks apparently. I don't know the actual science. Maybe Jamie can look it up. The idea I think that is it shocks your system. It just jolt everything alive. And then you like fuck it. You can lift more weights. Allegedly. That's crazy because I didn't even have that close to my face. They used to use it with boxers, but they made it illegal.

2:19:16They would put it under a boxers nose. To wake them up, right? To wake them up. Yeah, they got like rocked and hurt. They would snap them back. I don't even know if it works. Lots of athletes use it. What is it? What is it? Is it legal for them? Yeah, why? They're using smaller versions, but yeah. Why can't boxes use it then? I don't know that they can't. I don't think they can. I think smelling salts are illegal in between rounds. I think it actually was an issue that somebody brought up because I think someone was asking why someone was one of the fight men in the UFC. One of the cut men in the UFC was holding someone's nose open after they got rocked with his finger.

2:19:55But it was just to create a more airway. It says because they can mask more serious injuries and cause further harm. Right, right, right. That's what it's unboxing is why it's... Yeah, that makes sense. So if you get rocked and then they give you smelling salts, you might think you're okay. But really, you're still fucked up. Right. The worst injury from them is what this is backing up. When I was looking into it is whiplash. It's not like burning your nose. That's hilarious. I was from just going on that. It's from the jetty because you can't not react that way. That's hilarious. People that are more hurt.

2:20:23You're a fucking get fucked up more. You need to do some neck exercises, homie. Get whiplash from that. You get into a car accident and you want to... You want like to get more money. Do you just do that for whiplash? Take a couple blasts of that. What is that stuff? Like what, it just smells like ammonia kind of. I think it is ammonia. Yeah, that's all it is. Yeah, it's just ammonia in like crystal form. But this is this company is this product called A. This is the strongest one we've ever tried. I mean, I've smelled it before too, but like that is very strong. It was like here and I smelled it.

2:20:53Yeah, it was, it this smelled so bad that it smelled inside the seals container. So it has sealed plastic container on the outside. I think it's not. I could smell through the container before it was even open. Then once I unsealed it and opened the bag, while this was sealed and with like a top to the lid. So there's the top that's like sealed over the bottle and then the lid on top of the top. And you still smelled it through that. Still smelled it through that. With like the plastic seal, you got to pull the seal back and everything. Once we opened it up, it's insane. Whatever the fuck is in it, whatever it does to your system.

2:21:27How do they get it in crystal form? No. Okay. Okay. You do first. Okay. Why would you go that close? Oh. That's pretty close. Okay, you turn. Get in there girl. Big breath. Big breath. Big breath. Big breath. Oh, no, that was. I smelled enough. That was nothing. I don't care. I'm not gonna breathe in it. I'm gonna rely. I'm gonna pretend I'm doing it. You did it. The first time is like brutal. Doesn't wake you up though. It does for sure. So if somebody had rocked you, if you're in there with some girls boxing you up, just piecing you up. And they just smell that. They get you in the corner. I can see it making you like angry too.

2:22:13Yeah. I would think it'd probably be good to mask any symptoms of you being hurt. They should have had that on the shits dick. Yeah, imagine just a wall on a ball that to kill yourself. But that's better. Probably did a long time. You know that you would die from that right away? It's a mo, yeah. I wonder. Okay. How much ammonia would you have to consume for it to be lethal, Jamie? I feel like a cup. Well, this is not even a cup. Well, that's in crystal form. If it's a amount of time, you're probably doing it. But if you just down this whole thing, you should kill you. Should I swallow it? Yeah, the whole thing.

2:22:50I feel like we shouldn't be giving anybody any eye contact. Probably not. People were like eating Thai pots. That's an old dude. They were, right? That was your... That's a crazy time. I think China did that to us. I think they tricked us on the internet. Yeah, they got some fake people to pretend to eat Thai pods and talk dumb kids. I mean, when they were locking up the turdren because kids were eating Thai pods. We were like, I don't know, man. If you're eating those Thai podges, deserve it. Yeah. We're always going to have kids that do stupid shit. There's no way around that. Thai pods is probably...

2:23:23I'm lucky Thai pods weren't around when I was a kid. You would have definitely been eating them. I know somebody who would eat them. There's always that one kid in the neighborhood who'll do anything to get attention. They do feel cool though. They're like soft and... What is in them? The turdren. Oh, sorry Thai pods. Were you saying, Jim? This is probably how this got into sports. They thought it counter -acted head trauma. Right. Like 15 years ago. Yeah, it wakes you up. Not just, but I mean, fully like if you were knocked out, which you had, I know it would wake you up, but they thought it fixed you.

2:23:57Right. They thought it brought you back. Well, they didn't know shit back then. They still smell it. I mean, when do you think they figured out brain damage? When they start figuring out to be a punch in the head too many times, you lose your ability to communicate. I think they probably knew it pretty early and they were like, I'm betting on this game though. Let them keep it in each other. Well, they definitely knew about it because boxers were washed up, even in the 50s and the 60s. But I don't think they understood the extent of it until probably the 60s and the 70s. People started discussing like being punch drunk boxers.

2:24:29I think boxers knew about it, but I think like the general public, it wasn't really a big thing. What about football people like, you know, concussion and stuff? Yeah, for sure. They get it real bad. All of them. All contact athletes. You're head getting jarred like that. But I think for us, the big one was Muhammad Ali. Because Muhammad Ali was such a cultural hero. And to see Muhammad Ali in the later stages of his life, like unable to communicate and shaking, it was like very disturbing. Because as much as they try to tell you that had nothing to do with boxing, like, come on. It definitely did.

2:25:01Of course it did. You jostling your brain around. But there's also a trauma -induced Parkinson's. It's a real thing. Right. And so when you see people that are like Freddie Roach, who's a, he was a boxer and now is a famous trainer, he has trauma -induced Parkinson's. It's a shake that he tells you is from his career as a boxer. It's just something that happens to people. And so when you see it happen, it's something like Muhammad Ali, like, fuck. Right, because this guy's like the sign of strength. Oh, not just the sign of strength, but the way he would talk was so different than any other boxer.

2:25:33He was so fast, he was so funny. Like, how would Kosell call him truckulent once? He seemed very truckulent, champ. He was, whatever truckulent is, if it's good on that. That's a great answer. He had so many funny things that he said. He was the first guy that was like talking shit in a funny way and getting the whole world to pay attention. You know, he said one of his opponents, I forget who was, he goes, is he ever, have you ever dreamed he beat me? You better wake up in a apologize. He just said, it's of funny, funny things he would say, but also like refuse to fight in the Vietnam War. He said, he meant fuck you.

2:26:10I'm not going over there. Yeah, good for him. Yeah. And then lost his title, lost his ability to make a living for three years because of it. Like the prime three years of his career was taken from him because he refused to fight in the Vietnam War. So he was, he was a lot more than just a fighter. He was like a cultural icon who defined rebelling against a corrupt and evil system. And then, you know, eventually at the end of his life, he was a victim of the sport that made him famous. And we watched it. Right. And that's the first time we were watched someone go from, you know, just celebrated for the way he talked to being unable to communicate at all.

2:26:48This gives two very different versions of when it was discovered. Ancient Egypt. Yeah. 1848, Phineas Gage, a railroad worker survived a traumatic brain injury when an iron rod shot through his skull and destroyed much of his left front of lobe. Gage's personality changed dramatically in his case considered a landmark in the study of brain damage and personality. See if we have pictures of that. Yo, let's see the pictures. Oh boy. Oh boy. This is it went right through. Oh my god. You didn't apparently feel much pain. Oh boy. He was throwing up for every 20 minutes. But he was lucid and remained talking the whole time.

2:27:30So he just made his hair part over the hole in his head? He said he had obliterated his left front of lobe. Oh. He survived the accident of 13 inch railroad rod. Is that the rod that he hasn't seen? Yeah, I think so. Oh, crying. He's kept it. I could be a gunner. No, that looks like the rod, dude. Yeah, yeah. That's the thing that went through his fucking head and he lived. And now he's keeping it. Oh, that's what it looked like. Oh my god. Wait, so it didn't go through his eye? It went through his head and destroyed his eye. What do you think that? What did it say it did to his personality? That's right.

2:28:08So this was like the first study in psychologist, changed psychology and... Right. What did they say? How did they say it affected his personality? Phineas Gage on second thought. That's interesting. What does that say on the top? The title of it? The four profane and hostile afterwards. A reexamination of the famous case of a bandage personality change from a grievous brain injury.

2:28:34Mm -hmm. Oh, okay, wait a minute. Yeah. Yeah. Find another way. Yeah, it's hard to know. This is a funky site. The dude who runs outside is funky. I mean, I bet he wasn't a good time to be around. Well, it does definitely dramatically change people. Like, I was reading about this guy who developed an ability to see mathematics in like geometric form. And it's called acquired Savant Syndrome. So this guy started creating like geometric art. Like, apparently had no interest in mathematics at all. Mm -hmm. And then I think he got mugged. I think he got beat up and then developed some bizarre mathematical ability.

2:29:25I mean, that's better than the people that have like traumatic brain injuries and become petophiles. True. Like, definitely prey for the mathematics genius. Well, I know quite a few comics of Adam. Rose Ambar, Kinnison, both got hit by cars. Both changed their personalities dramatically afterwards. It's probably like quite a few people just got knocked in the head and then just became a different person. Right. It was really weird. So sketchy thing. Oh, no. Your joke was about somebody taking medicine. Oh, the joke about, yeah, the Parkinson's drugs. That's true. That's crazy. It's so crazy. Yeah, it's called a dopamine agonist.

2:30:05And apparently with some people, it could completely remove their inhibitions. Right, he was gambling. Gambling, gay sex. Just went off the rails. And what do you say lost like 600%. 400 ,000 or something. Somewhere in the neighborhood of that. Yeah. Lost everything. But then when he would stop taking the drug, he was okay. He was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was like, what the fuck was I doing? He won in court, which is the craziest thing. He sued Galaxos mid -fine. But he lost as much money as he gained back and was also raped twice. No, rape once, I think. He was raped or he raped.

2:30:42He was raped. He was picked to go up off Craig's list. I guess he didn't see that. He just became addicted to gay sex and gambling. It's crazy to stop doing that and then you're like, wow, I remember all those dicks I took. Yeah. That was a crazy time. Well, he was a different human. His brain, we don't think about it this way, but your brain is essentially this functional ecosystem of all these different things, dopamine and serotonin and all these neurotransmitters and then the blood that's flowing through your body, it's all operating on this sort of like fairly regular schedule of what's available to use and how you interpret consciousness based on the chemicals.

2:31:27And then all of a sudden, you introduce this new shit and this new shit makes you want to suck cock and play bingo. It's just crazy that both of those things are the same in this guy's head. Well, it's just wild impulses. I'm sure you had probably other impulses. I don't know if you got more violent, but that sometimes happens when people can't control. You know, like someone cuts you off in traffic and you want to be like, oh, it's fucking idiot. Right. Well, they just fucking can't talk. They just want to just drive someone off the road. They just lose their impulse control. That happens to people with CTE as well.

2:31:59A lot of people with CTE, they have a very short fuse. They think that happened on Aaron Hernandez? Yeah, they said he had the worst CTE. I think that they had ever diagnosed and he was alive in 28. You know, so he wasn't well, he's dead obviously because it did an autopsy. But I mean, he was alive at 28 before he killed himself with the worst CTE they had ever seen. So it hadn't even killed him. Right. But it destroyed his brain. I mean, his brain was destroyed. It was just filled with holes. That's crazy. Crazy. And they said that when they studied football players, there's some extraordinary number of football players that have CTE.

2:32:45It's in like the high 90%. And this is not just college. This is high school college. But all those people that have those high CTE can't, like they're not killing people either. Some of them are. You know, not a lot. No, not a lot. But the thing about it is, first of all, when it's over, there's a lot of them that went up killing themselves. That's a big thing that happens with fighters. It happens with soldiers, also the PTSD compounding the fact that they have brain injuries. A lot of heavy depression. So 345 NFL player, former NFL players with chronic traumatic encephalopathy out of 376 former players studied.

2:33:27So out of all those people studied, only 31 dudes didn't have it. So it's 91 .7%. Among those diagnosed in the last year, two former players who once represented the teams paired in this Sunday Super Bowl, former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback. Could you do me a favor and just Google Aaron Hernandez CTE with results? Yeah, yeah. The second highest you could have, I don't know the stages, but stage three, where she's never seen in someone that young. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. He wasn't playing as long as some of these other people. That's what's crazy. Ranger symptoms, including emotional and behavioral changes, memory loss and depression.

2:34:10Yeah. Yeah. It's nuts. It's not since 91 % players. It's crazy to there. You just keep playing football because you make so much money from it. Well, I think Aaron Hernandez was a violent dude already. You know, there was like a lot of abuse in his childhood and there's a lot of crazy stuff. Sure. I think there was a lot going on with that guy. Right. So he might have been a little unhinged to begin with. I murdered a bunch of people, right? At least one. The thing you've earned at least two. I think you murdered two. Yeah, I think it was two. But I think one is like confirmed. How many people did Aaron Hernandez murder?

2:34:44I know I thought it was three. I'm charged for one. I mean, dude, playing an NFL. He's a player of a double homicide. Playing in the NFL. Superstar. Also just gunning people down. With one of the worst examples of CG, they've ever done. We're going to go see a first three murder and sentenced to life in prison. Did he hang himself? Is that how he died? Did he hang himself? I believe so.

2:35:12Imagine like an injury like that dude with a rod through the brain. And now also you're a totally different person. Like all your life, you've been one person and gone. That person's gone. That's kind of fun. Maybe not. There's only one way to find out. You would try like you'd want to know like how hard do I have to get hit in the head to be really good at math? Like you don't want to overdo it? No, you don't want to. You're like, keep pushing me. I still can't figure this equation out. Just one more kick to the face, please. I think we're right there. I think I'm starting to CGometry. Yeah, that's crazy.

2:35:47But it doesn't happen to everybody. That's just weird. No. Some people make some great comics. Some people just make some brain dead. Yeah. There's a fine line. There's a fine line. There's a fine line. In genius and brain dead. In everything there's a fine line. Alright, so we wrap this up. It's really fun. Yeah. Always this. Thanks for being here. Yeah. You're very funny. I really enjoy your comedy. I love the risk you take. You know, you just go for it. It's fun to watch. It's great. It really is. It's fun. It's a different thing than anybody else is doing. And people love it. I think there's reason for that.

2:36:20And I think you're like one of those people that they have to find out about you to appreciate you. And you know, that happened with a lot of people that happened like Stephen Wright that happened like Mitch Hedberg. Like people had to like know what they're coming for to really appreciate it. Do you hear that? Do you remember that story? I don't know. When Mitch Hedberg did a special for Comedy Central. It took so long because he was like bombing the whole way through. Do you never heard that? I mean, and he's like a genius. But like his special, he was not doing well and they kept filming it and felt and like finally he's like sitting down on those stairs because I think he had been at it for a while.

2:36:52And you watch it special. It's like hilarious. He's like a genius. So funny. Yeah. But like, yeah, in the room, it just was not going well. Well, it all depended with Mitch on also who is there a complimentary opening act that makes sense? Sure. Like he would have guys on the road. He would like have a middle act on the road that the club would provide. That dude would be doing backflips and singing songs. Right. That's not a great person for you to follow. It's terrible. And so people didn't know who he was back then. It was just who's the headliner. Sure. Oh, there's a guy named Mitch Hedberg.

2:37:21Like, why does he have sunglasses on? Why is he staring at the ground? Like, yeah. But once they knew who he was, then they would come to see him and then it was awesome. And I think there's a thing like that with you. Well, what's funny too is like Louis, you know, directed and he's like, let's do this thing. At first, he was like, let's do this thing where nobody knows you're filming a special. He's like, you know, you're just going out there and like, you know, usually half the crowd loves me and half the crowd doesn't. So I was like, let's do one show like that. And that show I tapped dance the whole way and it was so brutal.

2:37:51I left that the first two shows we did. I was like, the first one was okay in the second one was so brutal because none of them knew who I were. They didn't know I was doing a special. They just thought that they were coming for a regular show. And I'm up there for an hour. And people like, there was like seven people that liked me, but like, we all left so dejected like Louis was like, I can't even watch this. And Ari, I seen Ari being like so depressed. And then I went home that night and I was like, I'm going to have to quit comedy. Oh my God. And then the next two shows the next night were amazing.

2:38:22But like, yes, I'm not for everyone. Yeah, you're not for everybody. Not even my biological father. Well, you're for me. I appreciate you. Well, thank you. Thank you for having me. My pleasure. So one more time, Jamie, show it. It's available now Netflix, the dark queen. Tell people your Instagram all that. Just my name, Adrian Epilucci. Spell it though, because people like, it's Apilucci must mean a. I know. Well, also, too. But you have an eye first. This is funky eye. But everyone always thinks it's an L. So that's what I was like, we need to use a font where it's an I. So it's ADR, IE and N and then the last names IA.

2:39:02Have you ever thought about just using your last name to an A? I mean, just put a name there. I mean, everyone thinks it's an L. How about just changing one big A? People don't know how to say it. I feel like I like doing a little difficult. You do. That big sense. Keep it that way. Don't listen to me. Thank you very much. Appreciate you very much. Bye everybody.
