0:01You're a Rockin' Blind house checkin' it out. The Joe, Rogan, Experience. Join my day Joe Rogan, podcast my night all day! Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do! You ever wrote that? No. Pop quiz. Who? Very famous person in real life. Pl, pl, pl, pl, pl, who does that from? What what shows that from? Seven D's. Yeah. Begins with an S. Sanford & Son. Yes. Who wrote it? You're not going to believe it. Quincy Jones. Really? Yes. And if you hear the whole song, it's a really good song. I used to love that show. Sanford & Son was fucking funny. It was funny. It was funny, ridiculous.

0:46Red Fox was the man. He was so funny on that. I actually didn't like that theme song. Here we go. But I first heard it.

0:58That was bad when sitcoms were sitcoms. Oh. That one was like way, I felt like way, but like three companies sucked. If you watch that now, that was like the number one sitcom. Sanford & Son is still good. Yeah. You know what's underrated that I really never gave a chance? Wait, I want to get a big bang theory. Ah, fuck, fuck. I fucked it up, sorry. I would have said big bang theory. It's a good show. I used to shit on it because I saw clips with, you know how you do retakes. Where they're not laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what that is? That's like retakes. When you work on a sitcom, sometimes you have to do pickups.

1:32I actually don't know, but yes. Oh, you do pickups and nobody knows anymore. Nobody does anymore. Yeah. Miss Pat is like the only person I know with a sitcom. Yeah, I couldn't name one sitcom. Think about all the comics we know. I know one comic with a sitcom. Miss Pat, and it's on a streaming. It's on BET. Yeah, and that was everything. When I was first starting, your whole thing was like, you have to get a sitcom or you don't have any money. Yeah, well, or you're never going to have a career. Yeah. Because there was no way to get people to come see you in the clubs. Unless you had a special or unless you had a sitcom.

2:10Yeah. And I remember Zach Gallifinakis. It was pilot season. Remember that whole thing? That was huge. Like pilot season is coming up. Oh, yeah, everybody would be in town for pilots. Yeah, yeah. Everybody would be like a special kind of anxious. Yeah. Because your whole fucking career was laying on this moment where you walked into this room. And there was these weirdos, these casting people. There were always really socially bizarre people. And like tired and mad. They've seen some people and it's always a tiny room. And they're the kings and you are a peasant begging for a bowl of soup. Yeah.

2:46And when you walk in, they know they don't want you. They also know you're broke. Yeah. And you have that desperate energy. You want them? Yeah. You want them to like you. Hi, hi guys. What? What are you to like me? What it is. Oh, death. I didn't get any. I never got a sitcom. I auditioned probably for a thousand. I don't know why someone didn't say this isn't. You're not good at this. No one told me. You could have been a big bank theory, ironically. I could have been. You would have been a fucking major get for that. I would have been a huge get for that. Show would have been a lot better. I had, actually, I did get one of them.

3:19Now this is a story. Let me tell you this story. Okay. So I go and I know you got like a call back. Okay. First cast and director. And then you're like, please like me. Then you're like, call back. And like, oh, they like me. Second call back. Now I get like real nervous. It was a show happy family. Have you heard that? No. Little nugget. What year are we talking about? 2003. One time ago. That guy, a lera ket was on it. Oh, yeah. I remember him saying he was, you know, he's dropping on the set. And he goes, my friend Don told me that on my graves, Don't It Should Say, it's not a great plot, but lera ket's in it.

3:59He told that funny joke. Boy. So he was the John Lera ket show was on the same lot as I was when I was filming News Radio. And Lenny Clark, who's a good friend of mine forever. Yeah, Lenny was on that show. And you know, I'd run into Lenny in the parking lot, we'd talk, but we would watch their feed. Would John Lera ket would like yell at people? Yeah, that's you. The feed is always, they forget there's a feed. Yeah, if you were screaming, but no one had a cell phone back then. You know, we're talking in the 90s. So this is probably 94 or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was a bizarre scene, man.

4:35I never adjusted to being on television. I never did. That's a good gig, though. I mean, shit, that was like... Yeah, but I couldn't wait to not do it anymore once I did it. Really? Yeah, and I had the best version of it. I had the best version of it, hilarious cast, brilliant writers. What was that? The stress of it, it was just like, I just wanted to do stand up. You know, it was just because you're getting a little famous. And then you have eight lines. Yeah. And you said they could do whatever you want. And they're like blah, blah, blah. And then... Listen, as far as that was also the problems, I knew I was never going to get another sitcom like News Radio.

5:09The other sitcoms that I read for were fucking garbage. After that, did they want you to do something after? Yeah, there was a few opportunities. I had a couple of development deals to do stuff. But then when fear factor came on, my first thought was like, yes, no actors. Oh, really? Yeah, I didn't have to deal with like the whole thing. Like the whole thing of the schmoozing and the, you know, going to these award things and these parties and these press junkets that you had to do. It's like, I didn't like it. Yeah. It just felt, I don't know. I did. It was just weird. You know, I never auditioned for anything.

5:48Like, I auditioned for a couple commercials in New York. I auditioned for two shows ever. Hurry it back to my lyric head story. Oh, go to your lyric head story. No, you don't want to hear this. I want to say it out loud because I set up a story and then I didn't finish it. So I got this show when I was living in New York. It was called Hardball and I came out here to LA. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, it was a baseball show. I remember. Jim Brewer was in the pilot with me. I started. My star from Good Fells was in it. I don't know that guy. Bruce Greenwood who was in Star Trek. He's been in everything.

6:21He's a great actor. He was in it. He was like the older picture that was like my nemesis. Terrible show. Terrible show. Like it's so bad. I think I saw that guy. It's so bad. The intro of it or something. I remember Hardball. Yeah, it lasted six episodes. And then the other show that I got was News Radio. And it was the only other show I auditioned for. So I'm sold. Everything else I auditioned for was movies and stuff that I never got. And there was a couple of shows after News Radio was over that I auditioned for that I didn't get. But it was just like it was so bizarre. So when I would go to these auditions for other things, it wasn't that big a deal because I was already on News Radio.

6:58So it wasn't like if I didn't get these things it was like it would be okay. But it was like still the anxiety of that like I had money and it was still like oh this is awful. This whole thing is so stressful and so weird. And everybody's so fucked up because you get a bunch of people that desperately want attention. And then you go there to this place where you're surrounded by people who are desperately want attention in Hollywood. And then you're you have this one moment in front of these people and they're looking at you like this. Okay, Kyle. Hi. So you're reading for Bobby. Correct. I love the script so funny.

7:32You know Bobby's an athlete. Yeah. No, I can do all the thing. Whatever you say I can do it. I'm a good at it. Right. Okay. Tim here's going to read with you and Tim like can barely read. It's always like some p .a. It's probably on ketamine. Yeah. You can barely read. And you have to like pretend like you're having this emotive moment with Tim. I'm so glad I don't have to do that.

Some people look, man, we're comics. Some people are actors. They fucking love it.

9:42Like McConaughey, that fucking dude loves pouring himself a neural, getting psychotic about who the character is. I wish I could go back. I wish I looked at those as someone said this as an opportunity to perform instead of trying to get something. I didn't, I was just desperate. I had no money. I don't have to get this. I will say though, if you're on a sitcom that has really good writing, it's funny shit. He said you just got it. I had a development deal within NBC. I was going to do my own show, but they had a sitcom that they were already greenlit, and Ray Romano was on it. And Ray was like the maintenance guy.

10:23And Ray got fired during the pilot, which is like the best thing that ever happened to him. He goes on to do everybody loves Raymond, and it's fucking huge. Bigger than news radio ever was. So like he gets fired, and another guy got hired, and then he got fired. So I didn't feel bad, because I'm friends with Ray. I love Ray. I bet you that part just was not good. It wasn't the actress fault, because you auditioned and then... I don't know what it was. It's like you never know what they want. Like when Paul, the guy who created it, Paul Simps, is this brilliant guy who worked on a fucking Larry HBO.

11:01Larry Sanders, thank you. He worked on Larry Sanders. He was a brilliant, brilliant guy. And he did a very clever thing in the auditions. The first audition I read for it, it wasn't funny. On purpose, they wanted to cut out all the people who were hamming it up. I was like, oh my god, this writing is nothing. So I'm like, I don't know what this is. So the NBC asked me to go in and read for it. I've memorized this stuff, and I was like, I don't even know what I'm saying. This doesn't make sense. So I go in and I do it. It's like real flat. And I say, thank you. And also I have a callback. And then they send me the callback sheets and it's hilarious.

11:34And I was like, oh, whoa. You were to see if you could turn something. Because that was a thing that everybody hated. Was the hammy, hammy sitcom actor. Come on, Bobby. What are you doing? You're good at that. That's what they got. I've seen a lot of those guys. So they wanted to avoid that. And so then, you know, they had a callback. And it was just like me and two other guys. And these two other guys look like they just got back from Vietnam. They were sweating. They're fucking pale in the face. That makes you confident. When you see someone nervous, you're like, oh, okay. Super confident. I looked at these guys and I was like, oh, they can't handle pressure.

12:08And I sat back in the couch and put my feet up on the coffee table. I could dickhead. You did? Yeah. Well, I was waiting or in the waiting room. Oh, I was like, I was like, these guys panicking and I was like, it's just us. Yeah, yeah. I got this. I had just, like a sketch show, one of the rare things I got. And the guy, I was so out of my mind nervous and I could hear in the door this guy not doing good panicking. And I just got calm and I was like, oh, I got nice. So good. And the show got canceled. Well, they all get canceled. Yeah, that was the thing. 90 % of them don't, maybe even more, right?

12:42Most of them never make it to a second season. And definitely most of them never make a disindication. They, you know, they go a few episodes and then they get canned. I was on. Oh, go ahead. No, I'm just saying if the production company's not making money, the network's not making money. It's not getting ratings. I was in a situation. It was a set with the entertainer presents with a sketch show. And it was like, I was. I remember that. Yeah, I joined mid season. What year is this? 2003. 2003. And I, uh, big year for me. And so I, uh, I get their mid season. Like, we need a white guy. I like pecan.

13:14You know, I was, I was a token of white guy. And, um, Louis CK was a rider. It was like a great frickin' show. And this, he got into like a fight with the fox. Here's where I knew things were downhill. Now, I didn't sell my car. I had a really, and I'd pull up to like the good spots. And it was like Lamborghini, you know, and then. And I wasn't just a shitty car from like the early 80s. It was like, I hit another four accents. It was just a chunk. And I just was like, and so broke in a tiny apartment. I'm like, let me just see if I can. But it seemed like this is a hit show. It was doing well.

13:51Okay? And it's like, first thing, first sign, it was like, hey, there's a fox party tomorrow. And I was like, oh, cool. I made it in Hollywood. So I go to this thing. And I'm like, we're a sedric. And I'm like, oh, he got into a big fight with the pet of Fox. He told me he was, he was a douche bear. Some, some fight. And I'm like, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

14:11To get, so I'm like, it'll be fun. So then this is, we were about to go on right after American Idol, which was like the biggest show in the world. Ooh. So we're like, get ready for the rocket ship. And then this guy put Wanda's psych show took Cedric off the air for like six weeks to put Wanda's psych, not did off there, but like, yeah, took, moved it to spot. So Wanda's show was after. And then Wanda's got amazing views. So it gave them a choose to cancel Cedric. Even though Cedric was a hit, it was like a few. Cedric seems like a nice guy. Yeah, he was very cool, nice to me. So what happened?

14:50He did get on the phone during my audition though at one point. I was in the middle of auditioning. And he was like, yeah. And it was kind of a casual call. It was quite like not an emergency. But I just like powered through. But he was very cool. Good guy. But there's a different like culture of stardom versus people that want to be on a show. Like you, you're not the equal. What do you mean? Like if you're auditioning for a show, and the guy who has the show is in the room, there's this weird, you know, what is that number one in the call sheet? There's a little documentary about black actors.

15:27Yeah. It's not, not black actors. It's just actors period in general. Like I experienced that a lot in the news radio days with guys who are big movie stars. And they would like big time you in the weirdest way. Like you couldn't just say hi to them. You couldn't hang out with them. There's a few guys that just like, they were just really gross. And then there was guys like John Ritter, who was like the fucking nicest guy in the world to everybody. Right. The nicest guy in the world. The nicest guy in the world. The nicest guy in the world. Camera people joking around with the makeup lady. Fun heart attack.

15:59Right. Right. Young man. I know. Fucking young before the vaccine. Young. He took it. He was the first guy. He was such a sweetheart on the set. Such a nice guy. I had, um, that, that sad roof show was also, I had like an episode was like my episode. You know, where it was like, I had like three sketches I wrote that was going to be, you know, is my big coming out. And I literally came out, right? No, it's like, what's going on? You guys. And shock and off started. Remember the Iraq War? And it just was gone. And I told everybody like, ah, it's my big show. And it just, that happened. And then the one, and it just was over.

16:36And I was back to, I never sold my car. I was back to my studio apartment. Couldn't you think that studio executives would be wise and have to go look, we got Louis CK. We have Cedric the entertainer. We have a fucking show. Let's figure out a way to promote this correctly. And it was funny. It was just, and it's so hard to make a funny sketch show. They try to plop people together. You need, you know, real synergy with the cast and the writers have to figure out how people like you are funny. That's what it was. You're the first set of SNL cast. They already work together. Yeah. And that's why they were like, gelled right away.

17:06I mean, one of the reasons. But all these sketch shows they've put together. And they'll say, don't pitch a sketch show. They never work. It's because they like pluck people who don't even do sketch, you know. It's like putting together a boy band. Exactly. Yeah. You know, you have to put together a fake band. Not a bunch of guys who grew up together in Seattle have been playing in the basement. No. That works better though. Find something. Yeah, that works better. You put them. Just put a bunch of hot dudes together. Get some good hair. Let them millie vanilla it up. Yeah. Find a way. Millie vanilla.

17:37They got a bad deal. They don't stop x but. They got a bad rap. Like now they'd be fine. They'd be fine. No one cares if that's your voice. Millie. You're hot. I love your dreadlocks. Great, great, great bodies. Great bodies. Dancing around. Girl, I know it's true. Yeah, that's it. I do like their music. I love you. No, you don't. I do. I like that song. Remember there was the other one. There was a song. God. It was like a big time band. And there was this beautiful woman who was singing. And it turned out it wasn't really her singing. There was some big heavy lady. Who was actually singing. Oh, it's always, yeah.

18:17It's always like a big. Millie vanilla is a big factor. It was one of those fucking. Something else left. What was the band? Did you see music back there? Yes. They didn't say - There was a situation like that, right? Wasn't there? Where some lady, Jamie will find it. Jamie finds everything. Jamie finds everything. He knows everything. Jamie hates me. No, he doesn't. Yeah, he loves you. Can we talk to him about you earlier today? He was saying nice things. He's buying a poem. I know. He got hit by a golf ball. You know what I saw? It was so cool. I want that. I was watching. You got that really cool golf set back there.

18:50Oh, yeah. Jamie can golf saus off. I have a buddy who got hit in the head with a golf ball. He said he was fucked up for six months. Oh really I got to hit in the head with a line drive. Just don't I hit a kid He was all right though Luckily I didn't get a good swing on Do I see those guys that like do those power swings? Yeah, on on the internet like where they loop their arm around and fucking drive through and like some man You get hit with one of those balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah It's like getting hit with like a fucking like a shotgun shooting a rubber bullet at you. Yeah, yeah They're really yeah if you get a nice skull wormburner, you could kill a doc if you just really see those videos of people He's had just snapping no, but you ever see that one with a picture catches the bird in mid flight.

19:34Yes Amazing crazy. It's like one of the odds that it would perfectly be there when it's a hundred mile an hour Pitch. Who was that was that Randy? Yeah, Randy. What's his name? Randy Johnson? He was like half way to the thing Martha wash most famous unknown singer of the 90 speaks How a voice behind it's raining man gonna make you sweat and strike it up Went from being a bullied victim to an industry pioneer. So what song was it the CNC music factor song? She's cute and they give her a shot. I don't know what CNC music factory looks like. Were they good looking? They probably were well, that was the move back then you get good looking people.

20:16They dance around and I just get AI to do but this was the first time where they were experimenting really with images in a way where you're Everything's visual. It's all video, you know, like MTV was so important. Oh my god. I like the ugly years of of musicians Gonna make you sweat the same song as everybody dance. Oh That's it. Yeah, so that's it. So it's some other lady in the video was singing it But that lady was the real voice behind it But she just didn't look like they wanted her to look on the credited vocals on the chorus. I just just so crazy Like you don't think like what's happened to them with like Lizzo Do you think you don't think that would have happened in 1994?

Yeah, they never go anywhere like maybe they have like a small part on one thing And then they're gonna tell you how to make it. Yeah, you never hear that speed to the author's life when I was a teacher I didn't think I'd ever be yeah, yeah, not to say it's not good acting teachers out there I'm sure there are there's people that just like love theater. They love like that kind of act They have no desire to be famous. They love the craft. They love the art of it.

25:49That's that's true, too, right? But anyway, this guy he was really in a show tunes and he would do a big show You know the end of the class or whatever in the quarter whatever it was He had this big show at this local theater and Brian's like you have to come and watch a guy With the tiniest feet you've ever seen your life. He had these little I couldn't take my eyes off his feet Because he had loafers on and they were like that big and this guy would sing like so passionately these showtunes From like musicals like there's no context. You know, he didn't see the music I met like a medley like a red dude.

26:27I love that sounds like a great show Well, you came there for for to see his feet. That was like the why you know Brian which Brian was like fascinated by how small So it just comes here and I couldn't stop because we were high so I couldn't stop looking at that small that no they were tiny They were like that seems like a five they were little little tiny feet. I had a day to this girl once and she was like I have a shoe show I'm a shoe model, right? And I'm like oh shoe show Okay, shoe model yeah foot a foot model like she would model shoes. Okay, like open -toed shoes I just would like I didn't know but that's what she would say she was going to do this And she always had like dollar bills.

27:01She was a cash, you know And I found out years later she was a stripper shoe show is when you have no clothes on and I just thought she was a shoe Oh, by the way, here's another I thought it was going to know direction But guys you're paying to jerk off to her feet. I may be Judd great feet But I out another stoop. This was even the dumber class and the moving around class was called interpretation for the actor Oh So this week you would read up a play like um streetcar named desire and then you'd come in and you do your interpretation of it So the weirder you were the better your grade you got.

27:36Okay, so one guy comes that he did streetcar And uh, he put it was a big mirror, you know, because also a dance room and he took a lipstick and he wrote whore Within lipstick. This is if you know what streetcar name is. Yeah, then he pulled his pants on sort of fucking the mirror And then he turned to us and he goes fuck you and he left and then everyone started clapping and I was like I gotta get the fuck out of here Ha

28:04Listen to what I so I'm like because I got like a d on my whatever I did So I'm like I'm gonna be fucking weird my next I didn't read any of the things. I like I have a trouble reading I don't know how to read and I just never learned so I got I got I have a glass of natures my book didn't read it whatever I just went in there. I got an egg. Okay, and I had a I took one of my mother's up Waterford crystal glasses and a string and I took the string and I was just like nobody's sales the seas if they don't find their way Then I clipped the string and the glass Fell and broke then I went outside you could see and I buried an egg it makes no fucking sense And then the guy said what grade you think you should get and I said a and he gave me an a that was My college work.

28:57He's brilliant by the way. Oh, I'm working on my craft By the way, are you really working like when you were Merrill Street was an amazing actress when she was 20 and she's amazing now. She never no Are you working for her was a day getting better at acting? No, you're not this. You're not training There's a little bit you can kind of land, but this you're done after a little bit if you're not Daniel Day Lewis already Fucking love that guy. Yeah, if you're not that guy already you're probably never gonna be able to do that They talk like they're like working their piano skills all day and four days like you're craft You know the problem what we did was is we were like we Not not made all but When they're like oh, let's make some more money.

29:37We'll have an award show and then we'll make money That's why there's the Oscars is there. Oh, yeah, but the actors thought we're doing something really great The Oscars are like the Olympics for actors. Yeah, and it's I mean the Olympics at least you're like I don't know doing something you can quantify but like a nine year old A nine -year -old won an Oscar like how like and did not be like a nine -year -old like best surgeon It's like it's a thing you can do or kind of can't do it's a little bit of learning, but certainly not Movement for the actor or brain surgery. No, it's not working on your craft.

30:12It's not even like painting It's not even like when you crunch a ball you throw into a basket like it where I get the skill is like Well, it's one of the few It's one of the few Careers where it's a benefit to be out of your fucking mind. Yeah, it's about personal like I love we we love the person like Jeff Goldblum Like love that guy Christopher walk in amazing like there's amazing actors like the people party. Yeah, crazy wild people You know the story behind it today. Yeah, I miss Jack Nicholson. Oh, yeah, he was the best. He was the just He was best. There's him flirt with a Jennifer Lawrence type of thing.

31:09Yeah, if you want to talk politics, we can

31:16Yeah, you're being really rude I Just to see you Oh, thank you Oh, really, do I look like a new girl? I thought about it You think that I thought it became flirtatious, but it was mostly just compliment her Her movie. Well, maybe he stayed cool. He just he makes that Eye contact and then it's like you need crazy people to make flirting actually probably she flirted with him Yeah, you need crazy people to make good movies. You need it. You need a guy who's gonna pretend he's linking for four months You know that guy there will be blood. I just saw you. Oh my god phenomenal. What's that? What was it silver linings playbook?

32:08I think her and Bradley Cooper. I didn't see that one I drink your milkshake. Oh my god. It was so good. He was so good. He was such a great psychopath It's like if I read that movie. I think I'd be like this boring There will be blood is just right. I'll drink your milkshake. What at the end? He's talking like I was religious Who's like, can I have some of your I've and he's like no, there's no more oil under you. He's like I drank it up I and he just made the analogy of a straw like to rank up his thing and then he beat him with a bowling pin and he's like I'm finished One of the best endings to a movie.

32:44Yeah, that was a fucked up movie I knew it was that so that's a different thing. You know that kind of acting for me Take it out of the ground I paid him $10 ,000 cash in hand He has no company now Prosper's little business three wells producing $5 ,000 a week Why is this dude crying already? Stop crying. He needs money. He got broke And he's coming back to like bag him.

34:17And starts to drink your milkshake I drink your milkshake I drink it up Don't bully me, Daniel

34:33So good Choices they say in schools the choices you make in your performance It's also you got to be out of your fucking mind you got to be able to become that guy I know but most people can't do that most people I can't lie that good Yeah, I mean he becomes those people where Becomes but to live with that guy would be probably a nightmare during that movie. Oh would be a nightmare Yeah, imagine that guys your roommate Who ate my cheers my Cheerios All day long he's a murderer a psychopath and what if he slips into character too much What if you light your house on fire just to stay in character at least he does back it up Do you mean like he hasn't done anything too crazy?

35:16Well, there's a lot of people to do that like they be they play a brawler And they start fights with people in the streets, you know like people get crazy with with film roles like with who they become Yeah, who is that guy? Um, but that's how you go in great moves that guy Christian bill People stuff I think I said gocker Jared let it was doing weird Oh, yeah, I don't like when they go too far with it like I've been rumors too, but Um, you know the Batman guy remember that whole thing where he was Screaming at the guy forgetting in the way of his lighting or something No, there's guy was moving around the background is distracting and he's like can't you have fucking professional?

35:49I remember that yeah, cuz he was in like some heavy scene Yeah, but he did does happen man or people Don't pay attention and they're on their phone or they're fuck off in the background So they're right in the eye line The thing that I found interesting about that was his accent didn't Cuz he he kept an American accent when he was screaming so interesting that I found that Quite interesting. Yes indeed. Yes. That guy's another fucking amazing actor. Oh, yeah Was it psycho movie American psycho so good insane, but the craziest thing he ever did was when he almost died Making that machinist movie Got down like 120 pounds.

36:27Oh, I'm a side guy. He played a guy with narca. It's a terrible movie Not terrible. Never heard of it.

38:27It was Gus fansant Movie and I to get the I was a doctor. I just say all these crazy things technical about the spine and the And I knew if I could just get through this audition and just say this I'll get this part. I'll be in the top 10 % because everyone's gonna fuck up this and be staring at a piece of paper So I did the whole script. I had like when I tap here say this. I had a whole thing. Ooh that made me memorize it And I went and I went and I got it I go to do the thing no one talks to me the guy who the wardrobe guy goes what outfit you want He showed me a couple. I was like this one.

39:02I'm choosing the outfit of this doctor I was like, okay, and then never saw Gus fansant and then I get there and they go just when they say action go in there and then do your scene There was no blocking or anything and I'm like, okay And I've never done a movie before and I'm like, this is how I don't think this idea So they're like, I think I'll go so I go in there and I'm like, you see a qualms for when I did this whole thing and Gus fansant comes up after me he goes Have we met before I auditioned like three times for him and I got the part and I'm like, yeah And he goes, you're talking over Joaquin And I go, oh, don't talk over Joaquin I couldn't hear Joaquin Phoenix at all because he was just like, I'm doing his lines like that, you know And I wouldn't I think as the doctor talking to like assistants that I would Stop talking in the middle of my sentence as well.

39:58He's talking because he was talking himself But it was the weirdest thing Was he playing an insane person? He was cripple He was is that PC? As we say that Grump couldn't he couldn't move his legs It was the guy he was a cartoonist I'm blanking on the name of the movie, but um he was a cartoonist And it was just like biopic and um I was it was a very weird experience, but the movie anyway my point is is terrible It's terrible movie, but he thought it was going to be a banger Thought this was your show because at this point in my career like the shock and all like this these things happen to Over and over again where I'm just like kind of laugh and it's like uh, okay I remember I was uh Yeah There's been a bunch of Situations were like get ready for the rocket ship Kyle because things are about to take off and I'm always like okay Oh yeah, the old rocket ship not funny Like everybody wants to it's just the weird anxiety of not knowing it was gonna work out for you such a terrible place to be Like that's where the real making it is the real making it is just not worrying about that anymore The real making it is just like oh I can make it living That's the real epic that's a big hump.

41:09Yeah, that's the hump. That's the hump Never tell like young comics that are just starting to like headline now and you know They've got some like viral clips. I'm like dude listen to me. You have already made it Like you're a professional now. This is the hump. Everything now is just stick to the grind stick to the It's gravy from here on out like you should be so happy You're talented and you're successful. It's actually happening people are paying to come see you I'm like you got this like from here because everyone's like man What if they stop coming what are they like don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't get into that you should have fun Have fun.

41:44They want you to have fun. Come on. Yeah, it's your job is have fun job is to I wish they told someone told me because I really did not get this Advise for a long long time. There's so many some people that are super successful still don't do that There's guys out there that are super successful that are paying attention to the ticket sales of other super successful guys Yeah, that's how I got this today. I'm talking about like arena acts that do that. Oh really? Oh, yeah People get cookie Yeah, I think it cookie with like numbers in their position in the ladder and am I making it? Is it happening?

42:18What is their name rhyme with? I'm not telling you Jamie knows I could tell by the side. I like them too I like a lot of people that think ridiculous things But it's just it's a trap that you know those the struggle that led you to become successful something in the first place That becomes like your mentality once you're in a different stage of it and you have to adjust hard to be able to adjust It's almost like changing your personality to change that habit. I mean, yeah, it's really difficult Well, everybody adjusts a little bit right because you first get into it because you want attention Like you first get into it because you think maybe I can be a comedian.

42:52That'd be cool. I'd be on stage. I get attention and then After That you don't need that. That's not what you really want anymore like Danny becomes like I just wanted to get better I just want I'm working on this thing. I just want it to work I wanted to pop on stage. I want to figure out the right beat so I want to figure out the right way to say it Then it becomes that and once it becomes that that's the happy spot That's where you're happy when you can just create stuff you just you like I wish someone told me that because I had a viral some viral YouTube videos like way back And I did I was still on like sitcom.

43:27I got to get a sitcom mentality where if someone was just like dude Focus on your YouTube and get your audience go directly to your audience. Yeah, but back then no one knew No one had any idea like just think about this podcast was started in 2009 and in 2009 Everybody thought it was a pathetic waste of time My friends would come over to do my podcast and be like what are you doing? Like why are you doing this? It's like it's such a waste of time. You're on a fucking webcam But it's nobody saw that comment I would have never given you that advice back then just did you just do you did it because it was enjoyable You weren't like thinking like this is the way I always wanted a radio show But no one would ever give me a radio show You know, so I would when I would do radio shows like if I would do sit in an open Anthony I'm like this is so fun.

44:12I'd love to do something like this, but I know one's gonna give me one of these fucking things That's that's how I thought about it Yeah, and so doing when I saw Anthony Kumiya started doing this thing live from the compound You do it in his basement where we played karaoke with a machine gun. He's out of his mind. He's drunk He's got tat like full beer kegs on tap there He's the drinking Guinness and he's fucking doing karaoke was holding a machine gun. It was most ridiculous shit But he had a full professional studio where he had green screen had like pro microphones just in his basement for fun For fun and I was like that's what I want to do.

44:46I'll do something like that for fun And then of course Tom green like you go to Tom green with that internet show in his living room And I remember looking around to go on you just got to figure out I make money with this like this is this is a job Like this can that's nice. You knew you wanted to do that Wow, it just seemed like fun. That's the whole like I always loved the opportunity to talk to interesting people or funny people or you know I'm a questioner. I like to ask questions like how do you how did you know that? Why'd you do that? You found the right thing. Yeah, just got I just just like the opportunity to talk to cool people seems like what a great thing that would be because it's always fun to talk to cool people Like you look like if I was ever on those shows and I like ran into someone was interesting I was like, well, how'd you start this like what do you?

45:32Yeah, you having a lot of interests help Oh fucking for sure. Yeah, you get back then I would have told you to get a sitcom because there was none no money on YouTube Everybody still wanted to sit come back then the other one guy who didn't and I was like he's lying Zach alphanakis was like I don't want to do a sitcom and I'm like oh, he's lying But he actually had like a very He had his head together. Yeah, he's not lying about nothing. I mean that guy He's the least attention. Hoary of any famous favorite famous person never Never famous funny person ever not at all doesn't even like Yeah, he has a good track.

46:08Yeah, very interesting guy very smart guy very smart. He was a good friends with Brody Yeah, he was one of the first people to alert me when Brody was off the meds like there was a time when Brody was off as meds Do you remember that? Mm -hmm people didn't know we're talking about our late great friend Brody Stevens Who is like that? He was so funny and that Brody Stevens is like one of the best examples of like it's not what's written on paper Yeah, you wouldn't yeah, right if you got his act on paper you like this is not gonna right you be like this is nonsense This doesn't make any sense at all me while everyone's lining up in the back of the room to see him say it so yeah I think it's like that Andy Kaufman of our like a little time period there where he was like any coffin Was a brilliant actor and a brilliant comedic actor who's great on taxi But he I don't think he ever killed on stage like Brody did Brody was One time we were in the Different type of comedy, but it was like you know a different when he went on stage like people the comedians watched Yes, it was a different thing.

47:11He's doing his own thing. He's doing this Brody Stevens thing One time we're at the improv and it's really late like I'd gone up a lot of people had gone up the crowds kind of tired Half the people there and They announced that Brody's there and Brody's worried that people are gonna get up So Brody takes his shirt off and he starts swinging and around in the air over his head and walking through the crowd Let's go Positive energy And he gets on stage and he pulls drumsticks out of his back pockets starts beating the chairs and he starts talking shit And he just changed the energy of the whole room change the energy of the whole room I don't think there's anybody like since him.

47:47I can't think of somebody who's like replaces someone will replace that but They're gonna do it in their own way you got to like you have Brody's on stage You have to go watch and the husband's like that now Holtman. Oh, I don't know him Brian Holtzman. You don't know Brian Holtzman. Oh my god. Oh my god You let him stay at your house. You don't even know I say I stay at my house. You've never had Holtzman at the comedy store. No That's crazy. You know what I might have been just didn't know his name well He would always gone late at night and unfortunately You know there would be like 15 people left in the crowd and Holtzman would go on these wild rants He's like one of the funniest guys of all time He's so he's like a complete total comics comic.

48:25Oh, yeah, I don't know him well Holtzman's at our club now all the time all the time But now he has a crowd now people know about him. So they come to see him You cannot go there If if anything if you if you can't tolerate literally everything don't go What is very dirty? It's not it's not dirty. It's just he's out of his fucking mind and some of the yeah It's kind of in character, but you're not really sure I like that Like missy sure wouldn't let him on stage for two weeks after 9 -11 She wouldn't let him up. He can't go up He's like missy. I don't understand. I'm not gonna cross any lines Here's like couldn't wait to cross lines.

49:05Do you remember when Susan Smith that lady drowned her kids? Yes The day the day he's on stage ladies and gentlemen. I heard those are bad kids I heard they sat that close to the TV. They didn't put away their blocks They always spilt their fucking milk those kids are not gonna be missed and you're like what are the audience to do Die Hollywood comedy store sunset. Yeah, Tuesday night or whatever it was 1 a .m. Mm -hmm. They went nuts everybody went nuts. Yeah, yeah, it's that what that was Holtzman Holtzman got these late spots So he would say the wildest most insane shit, but also have a really good point half the time Like it was comedy wrapped up in a point and then every now and then he let you in on it Like that it was just just fucking around and go right back to it Yeah, yeah, and you you know, it's it's a little dance He's dealing with the crowd and you got to know what the dance is But if you know what the dance is like comics love him like whenever he's on stage We were sitting about can you watch Holtzman at the mother ship?

50:01It sounds like that other guy who's older and playing in his name don bearers. Nope He's like, what do you pay for doing here at this hour? Oh Lewis Black. No Mm -hmm. Jesus. Who are you talking about he's at the store? And I'm having Eddie Pepitone. I love that guy. Oh, yeah, he's great too Very similar in a lot of ways like just insane energy and and has a point, but is also saying Completely wacky. Yeah, it's I love that he's Like how long he's a sweetheart of a guy too. Peppaton. Yeah, he is I think he started late. I think he started I think so. I was an aware of him until later It's good.

50:44We have long career like imagine I was thinking about sports guys You know like your baseball pain that's your identity and then you're 30 and you're like it's over Yeah, we'll go along. You can go to maybe 40 like look Tom Brady still playing football Who's you like 42 when you retired till that's in cash to have young as fuck if you're a comic your identity is I'm a sports You know play I'm like a sports player That's how much I know I just revealed how what a good big sports guy sports player, you know Are you a sports player and athlete makes a ton of money for a very short amount of time That's why they all go broke or not all of them, but a large amount of them Go bankrupt.

51:22It's also just like You think about your identity when you're a kid and you probably get all that you know Identity as an athletic person then you become like a professional and must be difficult to just if you're really never Hook into that like that's my day. It's also like if you're a really hot woman I think it's hard when you know you got to like not have that be your identity Can't be your whole thing because one day it's gonna go away But if you're an athlete it goes we even quicker than being a hot lady like there's hot ladies that are in their fifties They're still hot. They maintain their their looks hot ladies in the fifties they work out They take care of their skin, but there's no like super athletes that are in their fifties like they don't exist.

51:59What about Not at a professional level hold on let me think Go ahead. It's not athletes. There's one guy in here one guy can tell you that did it into his fifties Bernard Hopkins He played golf. No, he was a boxer world champion boxer in their fifties Multiple division world champion boxer was beating world champions at 50 years old did Tyson was he fall on going fall on I don't know. I'm not Mike Tyson, but I would say by the tone of my voice you can sense a little bit of skepticism Yeah, anybody who's a combat sports athlete looked at that and said, you know, I'm happy Mike Tyson made money It seemed like he held back a little bit, but maybe there was an agreement.

52:40I wasn't there. I would be I doubt I'm not one for wild speculation. No, you don't know. No, you don't get all this plan until he was 69 years old and 276 days Who is that extra game Gordy how Gordy howl great great sock a hockey he was 69 Yeah, I mean, he wasn't he wasn't in the NHL at that point, but he played a professional hockey game at that age. Yeah, that's insane Hey, Joe, can I have a cigar? I want to look manly. I need I need something to look man I don't have a door. You look very man. I mean, I thank you, but I sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like

53:20Kelly Slater also pro surfers still rolling I'm gonna look ridiculous. Kelly's a great example He's another example of someone who just takes care of themselves But Bernard Hopkins was a wounds like Bernard Hopkins world championship Fight that he had when he was in his Listen Wikipedia gives Albert Hughes as the oldest pro boxer at 70 years old. Oh my god That seems like who is he out of? I'm not looking. What year will I know Archie Moore who was a famous boxer before the Muhammad Ali days like Archie Moore was That's like way back in the video of it. I don't know what. Oh, that's just sad No, no, no, that guy's fighting does not look like he's trying to hit him.

54:07He wins The old guy wins put at the video headlines this looks like second round KO win over That kid needed money Yeah, this this kid's not punching back at all. He's just covering up. This looks super sus If I was that oh and just goes down. Yeah, if I was the athletic commission. I have a talk with those fellows I'm like, hey, what are we doing here? Is this pro wrestling white Tyson? Yeah, 36 years after the last fights Well, I do know that people have been offered fights that are fake fights like they've been you do know that for a pack 100 % I know people have been offered fights where they said you're you will win the fight That's I don't like that at all.

54:47I know there's celebrity boxing matches and celebrity fights that are like that where they make a deal Would you ever do a legit fight at some point? No, did your chickens bring chicken no no no no no you shouldn't do that kind of stuff as you get older I don't think I don't think your bodies as resilient even if you stay fit and in shape You don't want head trauma in your face. I've hit my head so many times my life. I'm a little worried So Hopkins broke his own record by winning the iBF light heavyweight title from Tavares cloud in 2013 and again in 2014 we won the wba super title from Bayboot Schumannoff at ages 48 and 49 that's fucking crazy So he wins two titles a title at age 48 and a title at age 49 Incredible.

55:35Are those rigged? No, no, no, no, no No, the way that he would box was super intelligent like he was very defensively minded You didn't get clean shots off on Bernard Hopkins. He was he was very clever and he understood boxing like at a very Very like deep level his footwork was always on point never drank never smoked Always took care of his body ate only organic food worked out every day never got out of shape Just all disciplined and so he was able to maintain his body.

58:26I didn't know I did not don't start use

58:31I have to fill it Yeah, I only got a corner. Have you had that guy on who's trying to live forever the vampire? No, I haven't I'm really fast with that guy. I like what he's doing. He's trying. It's kind of interesting But he's doing a bunch of stuff that I would say Most experts believe is not the way to go one of them is avoiding sunlight Like oh, yeah, yeah, you're supposed to get sunlight like sunlight is important for your body It's the best way your body produces vitamin D It's great for your endorphins sunlight is good for you This idea that you should be shielded from the sun because you're going to prevent skin cancer.

59:03That's it's probably The I talked to a dermatologist about this and they were explaining that if you don't have resilience from the sun If you're not like used to going out in the sun Then you go out all in one burst and get sun burned. He's like, yeah, sun burn is not good Yeah, he goes that you're damaging your skin What you should do is get accustomed to being in the sun So you don't get fucking sunburned and then be out in the sun. Don't get cooked Don't spend the whole day out in the sun and get cooked But now the sun is actually good for you. It's healthy for your body. Yes. That's just one thing The other thing is the vegan thing I get it if it's for ethical concern you've got this idea in your mind that animal life is more important than plant life And you don't want to contribute to animal death.

59:49Okay. I understand that perspective But not from a health perspective from a health perspective all the studies that show that You know meat causes this meat. It's all been debunked. Yeah, not only that most of them are these epidemiology studies where they They ask people like how often do you eat meat? Is it two times a week three times a week four times a week and the more People that ate meat the more people you see diseases more people you see Problems all these health consequences. And so they go oh meat meat correlates to these health consequences Which you don't ask them is how did you eat the meat?

1:00:27Is it a jack -in -the -box burger with a fucking giant Coca -Cola did you have fries that were cooked in seed oil? Did you eat cake with it? What did you do at do you smoke cigarettes? How often do you drink do you drink every night? Okay, like People that are more health conscious Especially if they haven't like read into it enough where they really understand What's nutrient dense and what what causes problems with your health and what are the real issues with you know high sugar diets like and Those people they hear meat is bad. So they say you know what? I'm just gonna eat vegetarian. It seems like it's healthier.

1:01:03I'm just gonna eat lentils. They're good for you They don't cause cancer. I read about the China diet. And so you start believing that But that's not really true and people have eaten meat since the literally the beginning of time and 95 % of the planet eats meat There's a bunch of things that likely contribute to all sorts of Metabolic diseases that people have. I don't think regular meat is one of them I don't think a grass -fed steak and a fucking salad is gonna kill you I think the real issue is buns and Fries and soda and chips and cookies and the people that Don't avoid eating meat if they're not well read about it.

1:01:45They're doing it because they don't give a fuck I'm gonna eat a burger because I want to eat a burger You know, so you get a lot of that so in the people that avoid meat you get like a healthy user bias Because these are people that even if it's not correct. I know people that Truly believe that you can become a better athlete on a vegan diet I'm like, okay, but there's no pros who have ever done that No pros have ever gone vegan and been especially at an explosive sport There's only like a few people out there like there's a guy named Martin Bacole. Do you know who he is? Of course, Martin Bacole from the Cincinnati Red Dogs.

1:02:18No, you're making it up Martin Bacole is one of the best heavyweight boxers in the world. He's just fucking enormous guy Um, I think he's I don't know what part of Africa he's from He might be Congolese Uh, he's a monster and he's a vegetarian vegetarian fucking people up Kind of crazy. Yeah, like one of the best heavyweight boxes a lot huge guy and he's a vegetarian It's an aberration though. I'm vegetarian. You can still eat eggs eggs are probably as good as anything If you want to eat like one protein and you know, simple easy digest has everything Eggs are pretty fucking so I like every day I actually tried to night me for a while if years ago And I like you need like a nutritionist with you to really make sure you cover that Yeah, you got you got all your vitamins correctly and then you got to make sure you're You're not taking too many vitamins and which ones are water soluble which ones are fat soluble I just caught myself in the uh camera here.

1:03:19I look ridiculous smoking this guy. Hey, look at a man I get to that. Thanks Joe like you more this way great hide those things from people You shouldn't be able to look at yourself. It's bad for you. I love it I love that. Oh Yeah, Joe just turned the camera. It's just like reading the comments. Don't do it By the way, you know these young and uh these young kids Sure Yeah, I was at one point where John Larket you ever gonna get to that we'll get to it It's not rush that story Let the podcast breathe for a second and then we'll say So these young kids now I noticed this uh women will do this will they'll be like People say um, I light up the room What was woman told me this?

1:04:05Who ever says people say I light up the room that actually lights up the room That's what it's done things like people say I'm funny But I I've noticed like they don't you know people they can't they tell you compliance they got and I'm like Why is this because for our area? It's a you never say like I'm great people think I'm great You never would say that but now this is my theory. I don't know if this is true They they've grown up on Facebook where people say you look so pretty and then everyone sees the compliment And now when they go out in the world and they get a compliment then they're like oh, I let people know my comp Everyone sees the compliments.

1:04:36That's probably exactly my theory. That's a very good theory. I think that's right I don't look about it. You should make sure you do the audio yourself. No merch. Yeah. I'm gonna definitely. Yeah. You don't like me merch No, you should have Caitlyn Jenner merch. Yeah, baby Yeah, baby That was when I knew Concentral was doomed. You and I were Yes, that you what they cut. Yeah, we we're having a conversation that you were showed it to me in the comedy store Greenroom in the green room in the main room. You were telling me the struggle you're going through It's so stressful that whole thing. Well, you had this show that you were doing on your own that was amazing And it's one of those things like South Park right where South Park really works because they can do outrageous shit because you know It's not real because they don't even look remotely human.

1:05:22Yeah, your brain knows you when you were doing the face swaps with like cell phone technology you know like Everybody can use it was obvious. So something funny about it being clearly not Bill Marr. Yeah, it was clearly Kyle Donagan Yeah, it wasn't Kim Kardashian. It was Kyle Donagan. It was you know, you you would it was the way you were doing it was Super obvious then the Comedy Central thing came along like this Like you get a beard. I'm in that looks ridiculous. I didn't mean to have a beard. I started for the beginning Different episode a different one. This one's terrible listen. No one's buying my book Shall I yeah, I thought I would read a lecture to wet your wish all all right I'll turn it on if you want to put on a good one baby if you want to put on a good one put the good one where she What happened to her vagina?

1:06:18I forget what it was yeah, but they were all talking about something to happen and she's She shoved a baby in her pussy Yeah, that sounds like a bad idea Oh, it was awful girls for a minute there. I thought I was gonna suffer the same fate as my nut sack Oh, yeah, but I want to apologize to the trans The first thing I did when I saw the flames was grab my fendi clutch and my Alexander McQueen's to let all pumps Yeah, I ran back into the flames to get my Louis Vuitton alligator duffel a bag show beautiful. It demands attention My size 72 Jimmy choose and my dog checkers, but there was only enough time to save two of those things girls The thick soup is choice This is what I do with my time Matt checkers is dead

1:07:20That's what I'm doing with my time that's an old one It's an old but the fact that that's obvious made it better when they did it on Comedy Central they used higher level technology And it was kind of weird It's creepy. It has that what is that uncanny valley uncanny valley your brain needs to know it's a joke Like obvious like that's obvious joke like no one's gonna look at that. Oh, what did Caitlin Jenner say? Hey, look at that. You go what is this? Like that's part of the fun of it as it doesn't look real. Yeah, it's Completely ridiculous. I didn't mean to have a beard. That was just I was being like I was like trying to make a joke By the way, I never did it.

1:08:02I didn't impressions when I was younger And I was like in middle school. I would do them And then I never I started doing like a manager was like don't do impressions And then that face app came along and I looked nothing like Trump Though the first one I was doing was Trump. Yeah, cuz I did a Trump like years ago And I was like oh, I can do Trump because my face like is the opposite of Trump Stormy Stormy Stormy. It's funny. I have the worst Trump like I did the Trump first and it's the worst one now everyone does a better It was fun. It was a ridiculous character though, but it's like that's how a new comedy central is doomed I'm like if you guys are fucking this up like this show.

1:08:41He's giving it to you Honest silver platter just get out of the way all you have to do is get out of the way you were working with Metzger Right, yeah, we are not at that moment. Yeah eventually. Yeah, eventually Like all you have to do is get out of the way Just get out of the way put a point of camera at it. Let him tell him you support them Yeah, eventually there was a show uh, yeah, I was doing like full on because that that was like I was just kind of doing the little videos And then it became like I was crafting you know, we would do you were in one of them time -cancellor like we had like crafted Episodes what what are we doing that one?

1:09:15You can play Becky the nurse I Worst time can't just to show Joe. I don't think you remember this You probably don't remember but time -cancellor um, I was like a full episode where yeah No one no one never was like hey, we can make this and it wasn't dirty and it was like got a lot of views And I never a Hollywood never was there were always like no, thank you Yeah, they couldn't Figure out it is weird and it is weird. Well, it's just It's this weird marriage of comedy Creative people and then business people executives. That's the weird marriage And they they because they've had a few hit shows before or you know, we're producing South Park where Like but you don't make it you can't make yourself Like so you have this idea in your head that you're a part of the process of and you could shoot you're you've got an eye for creativity Oh, that's right

1:10:14Becky You're really good in that. Thank you. I don't do do you come up to that on stage To nurse joking from Well, a lot of people like bringing up the airport. Yeah, comes up there you Do you have any like I don't want to be see? You just like people coming up to you. How do you feel about that? Most people are nice It's just people being nice Most people the vast majority people they just want to say hi you they like what you do. It's nice You know because of you um a lot of dudes come into my show, which is great. Was it mostly girls before? It's mostly nobody It was mostly neither people are coming in my shows But now it's great people are coming in my shows But it is like a sea of dudes like no I did a tour and I was I started counting like are any girls coming in my show And the only ones would come would be like my boyfriend like to it's his something like that like and uh Yeah, I I saw thousands of people I didn't see and there was never like three girls came to see There's a mate might be like one autistic girl No ladies who likes to hear you say yeah, baby Wait till that clip episode of kill tonic Oh my god the wildest show that show is like a fever dream.

Yeah, it was so fun We can't give anything away because it doesn't come out till monday so we don't want to give anything away Oh, but holy shit. Was it funny? I I love it Tony is the like I like what the comedians do well because it's so much pressure. Can you imagine the pressure of these? Oh, you know, it's like could change their And if there's nothing you know when you're young you don't even know how to make it in show business And there's just like one show they can this was a direct link so it's like it also works Like guys that have gone from that show that have real careers.

1:12:11Yeah, guys like cam Patterson William Montgomery These guys are going on the road. They're selling out all over the point. Oh, yeah people love them David Lucas.

1:12:48Yeah, he's I mean on that Tom Brady roast he was a fucking savage Holy shit. Yeah That Tom Brady roast was so important to comedy because it was the most watch thing ever in Netflix And it was the most unwoke thing that's ever been on television. Yeah, so it was like it broke the damn and Niki Glazer was really funny Yeah, very funny Jeff Ross was great on it. Shultz killed on it. It was great. Shultz Having something like that was a big moment, you know, like something that's just just funny like fuck all these stupid rules We're talking shit. This is just talking shit. Everybody loves it.

Let her come off looking like a nut maybe they planned it Maybe they have a wonderful relationship and they said listen this is not gonna sell she humiliated him And maybe you're right to go viral listen you you're gonna show me up and I'm not even gonna comment on it.

1:18:53Oh plus I just killed a lady So it does make you forget about when he killed that lady. It's a good way to make you forget the show Yeah, what other good way is you change your gender. Oh, yeah, that's another good way. I mean I Bruce killed that lady with a car right now. It's a bush. Yeah, just Bruce That was like right after that. Have you ever seen the footage of the car The reenactment like she was putting on lipstick or so. She was very distracted. What did I say about Alex Baldwin? Hold on there's one No, he was you said she shouldn't say she You should say you said she was please correct yourself.

1:19:27I was back when she was Bruce She she was she always Bruce. What is the saying that get in the Olympus dead name? What can you dead name in the Olympics? Is that allowed dead name? Come on away, huh? Yeah, that didn't work people like you can't you can't kick people out of the social square for life because they won't accept this bizarre New thing you're doing There it is Bruce Jenner still says Bruce wow look how jacked he was. Oh, yeah back then it was he There's that nut you can see the nut shack. Yeah. No Did he um have the I think I have no information. Yes, but I think so you're holding back.

1:20:06Do you work for the government? Yeah, I know a guy. I'll tell Trump to release the files so terrifically Not a terrific guy. Are we getting new files Jamie? Does anything happen? Do we know what happened with all our stone apparently testified about the JFK assassination? What is he now? How does he know? He knows everything about it. How does he know? He's a Literally a warehouse of information on the JFK assassination before the podcast during the podcast after the podcast He wouldn't stop talking about like you parents. How are you different? No, no, it's all over stone He's a brilliant guy all over stone can give you he could sit down and break down from just from recall and how old is all of stone?

1:20:48like complete recall of dates times Who was involved who they worked for before this happened? Who Kennedy had fired why they were on the Warren commission report what the Warren commission reports objectives were Who was influencing it who saw the the gunshots and the grass you know? How did they die in mysterious circumstance? Like he's like rattle it all off off the top of his head and he's like He tells Congress to reinvestigate in 1967 three assassination starting at the scene of the crime Like I'm telling you man The movie he did is you know great movie Kevin Costner a wonderful movie But talking to him about it is where you're really freak out like this guy has been studying the JFK assassination forever And he thinks it was a CIA or a hit?

1:21:38You know no one knows and until you get all these files no one's going to know there was even once you get all these files What is it going to how you're still going to connect dots and it's not like there's a page page 24 Mike did it Oh fucking Mike. Yeah, Mike was in the grass. You know, I told him shoot that Irish cocksucker. He's gonna rob us No, there's none of that you're you're gonna get Certain details that weren't available before for national security reasons or for whatever But if they had made Some sort of a declaration that Kennedy was a problem that needed to be removed That would be like the as close to a smoking gun as you can but They could probably get away with same things like that in 1963, you know, especially like People that worked at that they were doing nutty shit in 63 like really nutty shit like that's the year the same year is Operation Northwoods Right, that's the same year Operation Northwoods was this crazy idea that was drummed up It was a false flag idea that was drummed up and literally signed by the joint chiefs staff like they they gave it It's a green light and then vetoed by Kennedy and what they were gonna do is they're gonna have a bunch of false flag attacks Like they were gonna blow up a jetliner and they were gonna blame it on Cuba And they were gonna arm Cuban friendlies and bomb guantanamo bay they were gonna literally kill American citizens And the idea was do this false flag blame it on Cuba then we have to go to war with Cuba And Kennedy was like what the fuck are you doing?

1:23:14No, and then there's the other one, which is the Bay of Pigs So they informed Kennedy about the Bay of Pigs apparently they have formed informed him about it like late in the process And he denied them air support So the whole plan of invading Cuba the Bay of Pigs was depended upon air support They didn't get air support because Kennedy said no to it So all these people died they didn't have to die. Yeah, all these Americans soldiers died They didn't have to die and my friend Evan Hafer from black rifle coffee. He had a very good point He's like if you wanted to look at someone who had a bone to pick was like a hardened killer Like those guys who got stranded at that beach those would be the kind of guys that would want to kill Kennedy Like there's probably a lot of people that wanted to kill Kennedy You know there's probably the mob wanted to kill him because they got the mob got him in You know the whole thing that happened with Illinois like him winning Illinois Re -shakey stuff, right?

1:24:13So the mob got him in and then his brother starts going after the mob. Yeah, like a fuck face Like what kind of deal is this? And then you've got he's trying to get rid of the CIA. He wants to get rid of all these like he gives that speech about Privacy about having these private groups and having secrecy and secret societies have you ever seen that speech about secret societies? The Kennedy name. Yeah, it's really creepy. He's talking Calling Talking about how secret societies are repugnant and that he's essentially calling out the shadow government You know, he's calling out all these people that are involved these organizations literally from like Yale like the skull and bones that they're all in All these creepy frat boys join the skull and bronze then one day they wind up ruling the world like it's kind of Harry Potter -ish it's bizarrely you know on the nose as far as what it is but He was calling that stuff out in the 60s as well and then they kill him And then you know hear a peep about any of that stuff anymore And we will get to the John Lerick head story just anybody listening.

1:25:23Let's listen to Kennedy talk about secret society I want to see that yeah secret societies air our secrets aside. He's it's a it's a very Creepy speech when you think about the fact that they killed him like Lessening year later, I believe what about the back and the left this is what I heard I don't know any information But the in all of us don't he was like back and to the lift Back and but someone's saying no your head would go would do that because it like From the shop from the back your head would like recoil back. I don't know anything Well, we can look at that too. Let's hear it The speech that killed him about John The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies to secret oaths and to secret proceedings We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment Of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it Even today There is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society By imitating its arbitrary restrictions Even today There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation If our traditions do not survive with it And there is very grave danger That an announced need for increased security Will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning To the very limits of official censorship and concealment That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low civilian or military Should interpret my words here tonight As an excuse to sense the news To stifle dissent To cover up our mistakes Order withhold from the press and the public The facts they deserve to know For we are opposed around the world By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy That relies primarily on cubit means For expanding its sphere of influence On infiltration instead of invasion On subversion instead of elections On intimidation instead of free choice On guerrillas by night instead of armies by day It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources Into the building of a tightly -knif highly efficient machine That combines military diplomatic intelligence economic scientific and political operations Its preparations are concealed not published Its mistakes are buried not headline It's dissent is a silenced Not praised No expenditure is questioned No rumor is printed No secret is revealed No president should fear public scrutiny Of his program For from that scrutiny comes understanding And from that understanding comes support Or opposition And both are necessary Why did why did we become so retarded Like listen to how genius Saying is and how eloquently he's describing the problem People don't talk like that anymore No we don't talk like that anymore And if we did talk like that people be like What did he just say?

1:29:01Yeah, I didn't understand a word I understand half of those words This is 1963 We're dumber now Oh yeah With more access to information Than we were in 1963 And people think they're smart workers They're phone They think that's them too G -P -T is like I tried GROC too And it was really cool I kind of felt like I don't know You could just see liking your AI friend Well that's a problem with people GROC is saying some wild shit to folks Oh I know they have that different kind of stuff Well if you also if you ask GROC If you were like purely evil And you wanted to destroy society Would you do how would you do it And GROC essentially describes Everything that's happening in society Yeah It's like idiocracy in the movie Idiocracy?

1:29:50Yeah Theocracy Yeah It's happening I definitely feel like Idiocracy like was very charitable In terms like their version of the future In comparison to what we're experiencing Yes They didn't figure in cell phone addiction Yeah you know what makes me laugh is When you look at like a 70s movie about the future And like what they got right and wrong Yeah For us all we don't do the face time As much as they thought we were going to just do all the time We're like no we don't want that Another funny thing is like the back of TVs Or like TVs are never going to be in the back We're going to have flying cars But we're going to put the stuff Like They always get to be a big box Yeah And they're like oh there's no more racism in the future And you have flying cars Where's the flying cars?

1:30:32Yeah no flying cars no back No racism there's no black people Watch the Jetsons They don't have a single car Oh that's true yeah yeah That was our show Neat George Chetson Dazzling Planta And then they would be flying around Your flying car What year was that supposed to be Did they say like this is 2012 Let's take a guess What is it? Oh wait Sorry My name's to Gar keeps going out Is that a sign of manly hood We're not 2016 I shouldn't be like 2006 what No That's when it came out That's when the movie was released No I mean like when the Jetsons No no no not idioocracy The Jetsons What year is the Jetsons supposed to be Idioocracy was supposed to be 2020 what 2 ,500 Oh 2000 that's probably Again very charitable Yeah and by the way We can have a pro wrestling president right now by the way Right Yeah The rock you know I like that guy Are we allowed to say that I think they wanted the rock to run Rock Rock could win I went to the gym with the rock when I was in LA Not a brag I'm just telling you the facts We went to the same gym Joe's get pumped Yeah we got like This before he was like really famous But there was a like a restaurant nearby And I was there and he got a stack of like 10 burgers That's all he ate And I was like He's an enormous dude He was just wrestling back then He could be the president He couldn't do the lift the way I was doing He went from a scene to knee He had to go down Of course He was kind of humiliating What Found a year for the Jetsons Okay let's guess Okay I want to say 1998 1999 I'm going to say 1999 No way Yeah For reference to it came out 1962 was the debut 2000 2000 This year 2019 What is it?

1:33:36Son of the celebrated police squad Lieutenant from the original films Let's just say you've never seen Neeson like this Nor Pamela Anderson Or Paul Walter Hauser A must watch on the big screen The Naked Gun Only in theaters August 1 I never thought of doing Something else But I love other things And for some reason I just was like In taking acting classes Um What did you like about physics? I always Um Love like outer like outer space And just science stuff I just always have like an interest in it And in school I was very I didn't score well But like physics I did well Because it was like um Wasn't read a lot of reading Wasn't dense reading What is the problem with you in reading?

1:34:26Well I never I tested But I never I tested But I did take Spanish And she goes all your You write all your B's and D's backwards So I'm assuming I have dyslexia How old would you though? I was in high school But I always read so Like my parents were called They'd send me to read speed reading classes They weren't Back then in my day They weren't like you have a reading Disorder They were like you just You're dumb and you need to read faster You suck Yeah there was no test No one had dyslexia So dyslexia is like you see things backwards Is that what it is? It's sort of like you flip things So I actually put a dyslexia app on my computer And it sort of like Makes the font So I don't flip the like you know So you do have dyslexia definitely I never was tested But this app I read much faster So I'm assuming I do I took the medicine It got better So I assume I had it Yeah that's kind of what it was Jamie, I sent you that warp drafting Yeah I don't like labels I don't want to label myself with the disease I can read DARPA funded research has accidentally discovered the words World's first warp bubble Warp drive pioneer and former NASA warp drive Specialist Dr.

1:35:37Harold G. Sonny White Has reported the discovery of an actual real world warp bubble And according to white The first of its kind breakthrough By Limitless Space Institute's team Sets up a new starting point for those trying to manufacture a full -sized Warp capable spacecraft They added our detailed numerical analysis of our custom Casimir cavities I don't know what that means Helped us identify a real and Manufacturable nano microstructure that is predicted to generate a negative vacuum energy density That such that it would manifest a real nano -scale warp bubble But not an analog but the real thing In other words a warp bubble structure will manifest under these specific conditions White caution that this does not mean we are building a fully functioning warp drive A much as much more science needs to be done All right, so if this was 2021 I googled to find it to try to see what you're talking about I found this article which just came out three days ago Oh three days ago It's about an email though, but Warp drive think tank adds Harvard astrophysicists and warp theorists to advance planetary defense We're talking about warp drives and asteroid Collection or something or other So they're gonna throw a warp drive around an asteroid to keep it from killing us I don't know Could have profound effects on planetary defense Advanced propulsion and warp drive detection Maybe that's where asteroids are coming from Someone like shot an asteroid like you know like something's coming at their car They whacked it out of the window and it hit your car Yeah, you know what I mean?

1:37:13That's what's happening at the Asteroid belt Smack that bird and it went into your window Yeah, yeah, that's what that's what's happening in outer space But I wonder if that's what's happening. I wonder if like they see an asteroid coming They just throw a warp bubble out of it and it just appears somewhere else not my problem. Yeah, be cool It just shows up. You put it saves us from all our our little strikes. Yeah We do have like a perfect setup, but then Okay, so this snow couldn't coincidence. We are working on something historic when push for a timeline and list of goals for the team's newest project Mark my mark to ear martyre martyre how do you think you say that?

1:37:50M -A -R -T -I -R -E M -A -R -E -R -E -R -E -R -E -R -E -R It said yes, they exist But we can't disclose those details at this time. He said seemingly boundless passion Practically coming through in print. You'll understand why once I'm able to show you it's rad Applied physics go apply physics is currently hiring. Okay. I won't tell you what it is, but um So This is what I've been thinking a lot of these fucking UAP things are Yes, I want to know what you think that's what I think some of it is gotta be ours And I think if I had some shit that I did want the general public to know that I had and I wanted to protect it from like Espionage didn't want enemies to find out about it.

1:38:34I would say it's not mine. I Say it's coming from outer space. It's uh, it's not of this world Yeah, that was not a historical standard and though a race to build the world's first working warp drive Jesus warp theorists have we've entered in the exotic propulsion space race to build the world's first working warp drive All this is happening while AI is Becoming sentient. Did you hear that AI passed the touring test? It does this recently? Yeah, it leaves an article from yesterday AI passes touring test for the first time. Yeah, it learns like exponential people think It's it's happening so fast You know the touring test is yeah to see if it can be passes a human Yeah, if you if it passes as a human to to everyone I don't think I could pass the touring terrify study rules AI robots have passed touring test And now are indistinguishable from human side to say yeah For how we're so far.

1:39:28It is uh, I think the good things is it'll probably cure Loneliness a little bit like all people grow robot friend. That's good 100 % but it's gonna be real weird And it could be complete population collapse Not no bullshit because of the job they replace they the jobs they replace people having no desire to take care of kids Or have kids when you can give a robot girlfriend Yeah, robot girlfriend of people you also You thought of it you're like yeah, we're all gonna die robot girlfriend. We could look inside this robot They're gonna place like sell like they're a vagina separately The actual cat robot girl friend that you have to keep alive with come The only way it's the only way to keep her alive.

1:40:11I got the one. You got to fill her up every day Or she just gets narcolepsy I was asleep. What about meaning? That's that's a problem. I think to have We were supposed to be better at everything Even already just songs like I write music just for fun, but like it's a talent that doesn't matter anymore, you know like Nothing doesn't matter like they're they write very good songs already AI and then have you ever seen art when those photos of the entire Milky Way galaxy and this little dot of the earth Yes, you are here. Yes, it's very disturbing now imagine meaning Yeah Blue dot it's all us. It's all subjective like meaning is meaning to us because we think we're super important But if we get surpassed by a superior life form that we actually create Meaning what does meaning mean anymore doesn't mean anything anymore if you don't have emotions If you're the superior life form and emotions don't exist anymore because you don't have a human reward system That's built in through thousands and thousands of years of evolution.

1:41:12You need that May a job just did not have a job but an identity The sun needs meaning that's why it went supernova. It needed meaning I just couldn't help it and it just like See me The sun needed to be seen. I felt so unseen as the sun that I had to blow out a solar flare kill everyone satellites. Yeah It's meaning is our thing and we decide that meaning is important but objectively for the universe It's clearly not oh the universe no Because we are a tiny little fucking spot in the universe. So like what does meaning mean? It only means something to us because we need meaning what do you suggest people do though third?

1:41:54They start to get they don't have a good job. They have to do the robots do everything we have universal income And you just like I went on vacation for three days knows miserable. Yeah You have to find something you enjoy like as humans, but again This is just humans with the robot fuck ladies and you know free food. There will be no more babies The robot fuck ladies will take care of the robot fuck ladies will they're gonna be a real problem But the They're gonna be a real problem. It's gonna be like that Just look at how many in cells just stay at home now and play video games Like the the number of men who never have sex and the number of men who have no girlfriends.

1:42:33It's like harder than it's ever been Yeah, and then if you like fall in love with your robot girlfriend She's gonna be really nice to you a robot brothel legal or no

1:42:46Oh Free paper fresh

1:42:52Legal though. Yeah, definitely legal. Yeah, it's like it's legal to fuck your car. I think it might be it's if it's in the garage Yeah, I'd not public you can't fuck you see that guy who like like fell in love with this car that video No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's the real thing. Are you sure? Yeah And he let him film us and he kept it together while the cameras are on him for real. Yeah, everything Maybe they just set that up because it's stupid. Well, he he's he's a good actor as day one day Lewis Maybe but this was very blue when he tells his dad and it's He'll fall in love like weird shit.

1:43:25It's just like a fetish thing This guy is so fake This is TLC. I love that. This is like those people that eat toilet paper. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. No, I don't believe it Unless he's got like a real brain injury That's good. You get hit by a line driving who's sick Object, Ophelia. Oh boy. It's a disease. Joe. These people have diseases. I think that's a problem having too many names for stuff like narcolepsy You know, I agree with you narcolepsy. We need a name for the people that were saying like dyslexia figure it out Yeah, yeah, stop falling asleep stop reading backwards figure it out.

1:44:02I feel dumb though. I wish I yeah Had that name so I have a disease. Yeah, you're right. It wants to ADHD. That's a weird one People some people say that's not a real thing I if I would grow up earlier I would have been diagnosed as like on some kind of spectrum. I used to fly a kite till I I used to fly a kite till I peed my pants. That's just like it's gonna move hung out like nice way to meet the ladies. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I can't read also would structure you might find the air behind you Yeah, I just loved it. That's a very asperger. Yeah, I think it was Well, look if you want things that are extraordinary you need people to run spectrum like that's a fact I know I think we should thank vaccines for There's a lot of Fascinating people of come out of that spectrum Little head paint here a little fucking pesticide there touch it all next thing you know We got some inflammation and some really good math We grew up like we're right near the same image.

1:45:03I think where this I think the worst food Like when we were developing with the 70s food was just 80s Just the big it. I remember just having like that Mac when she's Mac Microwaved on this like plastic tray. Oh, yeah. It's just all chemicals. And that was my lunch Microplastics peanut butter and fluff. You ever eat that? Oh, that was like lunch. Yeah, I'm gonna have I'm gonna have a marshmallow for lunch Fluffer nutters sandwich on wonder bread, which is also sugar That we garbage. I used to go Like I played golf like obsessed for a while and I would walk 18 holes. I'd have a snicker isn't a sprite I'll walk another 18 hole.

1:45:44I did this day after day As like I was like big into routine stuff. That was when I was growing. So I may have been taller Had carrot. You just ate snickers and spurs like this was like a country club We weren't like we didn't grow up like rich, but like my dad Like for like three years or had this country up and the food was free Like you had to spend like a thousand dollars of a month or whatever on food And no one else was going my dad worked really hard and I was even going and I instead of getting a lobster every day Snickers was like 13 -year -old Kyle Damn Yeah, at least he got peanuts in the Snickers I have which isn't even a nut.

1:46:23It's a lagoon a gum by my friend. I wish stickers were good for you They're fucking delicious. Uh, it's a great snack to take when you're hiking I found one in my car Lord Sonwich was a very conversant gambler. What's a conversant gambler? I just very like you gambled a lot would lead the table Hmm story goes did not take the time to have a meal during his long hours playing at the cards table Consequently, he would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat between two slices of bread I have it known amongst his gambling friends Wow, so you just want to eat quick Sandwich Wow, no one thought of that I guess yeah, just because he's a gambling.

1:47:00So he's a degenerate gambling I got my I want to promote my uh crypto coin real quick That's my murder. Yeah, baby coin. Yeah, it's the hawk three. Yeah, baby coin. My popcorn skyrocketing You thought about making a coin it's zero Anybody can do it now. Oh Joe Rogan coin. That'd be good Go away to rip people off Yeah, we thought about doing it but we're like what does it do? What can you buy with it? No, it's it's total gambling Kerr meds could set it best is like it's in just fucking gamblers. They're a gambling addicted. Oh yeah Yeah, it's a total that's what the crypto coin thing is it's a bunch of gambling addicts And they're all gambling on these meme coins.

1:47:42Yeah, and they're making money some of them are making money and there's Shifty deals and pump and dumps. Yeah, it's really shady, but it's kind of legal. It's weird the whole thing's weird It is a little bit of like if you fall for this, we shouldn't have money Kind of thing to like all right. Did you really how's that trump coin doing? Not good? Why do big coin is because of the economy? So do you pay attention on all this tariff stuff? You're not you can't know I am actually I'm very interested in finance No, I watch videos of finance. I watch finance videos like every night. I'm very into it.

1:48:18Yeah I've actually learned so much because of YouTube because I can watch the things and I realize I'm actually interested in a lot of things Um, yes, I know I know It's just drop while we're watching it. Don't lie shit nine dollars. It's actually double dropping while we're watching in 50 dropping This people are gambling. Jesus. They're buying and selling. So what is it worth now nine dollars and 37 and what was it worth at its height? $80 $75 Trunk coin

1:48:48$2 billion still at nine dollars. That's what it's worth now That means all the trump coins are worth two billion bucks So what it means collectively collectively That was worth like look at the big spike in the beginning and then a bunch of people like sucker Yeah, that is a total that has to be what happened right like how many people sold What did Trump make up that? So there's two how many days is it scroll your thing over there? I mean days. Yeah You have hours if hours before a giant drop off look at that So you have 12 hours and then by Sunday the 19th it drops radically But I bet those first 12 hours like you couldn't eat like most people couldn't trade it But look at that first 12 hours that Is crypto coins that's meme coins not not like Bitcoin not like ethereum But like that is a meme coin that that first thing that explosion that's what actually is garbage So I expect but I also I support it Why not yeah, you could do that like look if you can go fucking play cards If you could figure out a way to three card money people on the streets in New York like yeah, okay I used to poke her all the time.

1:49:58I didn't want to a phase I actually wasn't the boy god of term. I want to turn it there. I had $6 ,000 in my I had lost my luggage on a flight Like weeks before I'm like, I'm not gonna lose this cash because I Didn't have too much money So I put like three thousand something in my suitcase with like I'm gonna put like three thousand in my pants So I'm not gonna lose this money And then I missed my flight So now I slept over the airport with like giant wadds But you made it I made it back So why just stop playing was it too much or great time yeah, like I actually Really studied and I I you know was the winning didn't make a ton of money, but like I didn't lose you know Um a big amount of money.

1:50:41I think I'm like probably After playing one million hours. I'm up like four dollars. I think like total waste of my life But he was doing it in the early days of his comedy career. He was making money doing that Yeah, that's how he made a living he'd play in tournaments Yeah, you can especially like Vegas like with people come into um, you know There's having fun. You can just be very disciplined and just he would go to those Card casinos that were out in California like Bellflower. I was I know you're talking about bicycle casino commerce. Yeah. Yeah, they're like hey Kyle Kyle's back But I just I stopped I was waste of time Well for Ari that was literally how he made a living when he wasn't making a living doing comedy yet Yeah, he was that good and he was like really dis always very disciplined you had he organized like he doesn't do anything stupid Texas all of them is all like just got a fold fold fold fold, you know Just you know really be really disciplined people to start fucking around and get drunk and you just yeah You have to understand how many cards there are if you have this this different guys you see the cards are on a table You have to do calculations is the math of it and just once you know that it's like and then it becomes second nature You know kind of right away and then his ESP there's yeah Read people's minds knowing their bullshit.

1:51:57Yeah. Yeah I went out to Vegas once and I was I was depressed. I never get depressed I'm not gonna but I had a situation that was like I'm gonna go just take five grand as drove to Vegas Like a lunatic myself and I just went by yourself. Yeah, what time did you leave the house? No idea I don't remember daytime or nighttime though. That's important because it takes four hours. Oh, it was like 5 p .m .ish. It was like later. Oh, I was actually about to do a show a live show on my YouTube channel And I was under so much stress you know I was like editing and writing and then it's just like all me and I just was like gonna you know all these the character I just like really stressed out and I didn't think the show was good and I'm like just didn't do it And I just went this is on top of I was the pandemic.

1:52:40I was so isolated and then it was too much alone You know kind of thing and a lot of people I think yeah, I think that kind of a crack crack quite a few people Yeah, especially the most vulnerable amongst us You know a lot of comedians that are like very kind of socially awkward already You isolate them. You're staring at me pretty hard. L .A. Yeah. No, no Um, I'm not thinking about you at all, but there's some of us that just like Kind of never came back from it You know, I haven't had a steady girlfriend since I think maybe I got weird or something. Did you? I feel like I don't I think I'm very normal, but I must be maybe I'm gonna show the calls look start coming Yeah, baby.

1:53:24Yeah, baby You got bros watching after the Netflix thing they might put the one No, I don't think I'm wrecked. I don't want to say what you did I don't think I that was by the way Like what I had was ridiculous. Yes, and it was like I wanted to take it off Don't say anymore because we we don't want to give anything away. Okay, because it comes out it comes out on Monday What time is this when does come out this comes out tomorrow? Okay? Yeah, so we can't do that Oh, this is good. Actually, people listen, they're getting in there. Yeah, that really is going to be Like nothing game changer channel game changer.

1:53:59Yeah, no, it's phenomenal and the show is so real the show so real It's like seeing people kill seeing people bomb seeing people have great moments It was yeah, it's the best thing for comedy because it gives comics like it's there's a real career path now If you could bang out a solid minute on kill Tony you get into the ecosystem It's also such a high -wire act because you like in doing a character We do SNL. It's like I'm sure very nerve -racking But this is like snobby. You have no script right you got to go like I got to try to make things funny And when you're dressed up like a thing

1:54:35I won't say I won't say yeah, but but you're like everything you say they think is gonna be You gotta right when you start to be a joke, but um, it was really cool cuz right before we went on I'm trying to say I think I said this um, you can't say shit. No, no, but like the Tony will get mad, but I don't I think this We said the the crowd didn't know no, they didn't know it's gonna be a and it was so exciting when they they found out Yeah, there's a go -go when they found out it was the first ever show on Netflix. They went nuts Yeah, the eruption in the room was amazing. It was really very it's pretty badass It's uh and having that show at this club every week that was It's incredible.

1:55:16It's just it's so good for comedy Yeah, you um, it worked out like you I remember when you were gonna go to Austin And I'm like this this Joe guy doesn't know what he's doing. I was telling people that this Joe guy doesn't know what the hell he's doing Thank you. I was wrong. Thank you for your voter support I just I didn't think I knew what I was doing. I was like I would I'd bet against me I'd be like good luck doing that But it was like all these things had a it's almost like the universe wanted it to be made Because it couldn't have been made with just me. It's just like if it was just me and some money that you can't make that club You need all these pieces.

1:55:51It's like you have to hit every green light and you could never bank on it You have to have a pandemic. It has to get shut down You have to live in a ridiculous place like LA where they won't let the comedy store open for a fucking year and a half So people are unemployed. I can snatch those people up I just happened to get a big pile of money from Spotify. Yeah, I moved to this new city A bunch of other guys start moving to this new city And then also then we have like 15 16 top comics live in the city like yeah This is why I can work it like a bunch of things had Ron white had already be here He he kind of lured me here because before the pandemic he moved here And he was telling me how great it was that fucking love it.

1:56:27I fucking love Austin I was like really Texas. I don't know and I was like I don't know where to live there But then when the shit hit the fan and we started doing shows in Texas and putting it on Instagram Then all these guys like fuck that. I'm moving to Texas And the next thing you know So girl is here Christina Pazitsky's here Tim Dylan's here. It's just like Shane Gillis move It's like it came Duncan moved here. It just came in this wave Brian Simpson Brian Simpson was here early Early on way before the club We were doing shows at the Vulcan and we were all talking about making a club But the fucking actually do it is the weirdest thing like when you go there It's like it's part of this weird illusion that you're living in so we're the fucking Bizarre hallucination you're having.

1:57:11It's like a leap like I feel the dreams. Yeah, you built it and then they came yeah Yeah, we're trying Austin is now like a comedy town. It's a huge. It's a huge live performance town already right because there's so much great music here There's a lot of vomit till a lot of puke a lot of homeless people a lot of great drugs. That's what I hear I wouldn't know And yeah, it's a when you move in here I know you hate the cold of winter. I I do and I think This is a more inviting environment for a guy with you anyway. I know I've family back East but I don't move I don't think they love me. I'm finding out.

1:57:50I don't think they love me anyway, so what happened They just they just told me they didn't love me. Out right. Yeah. Wow. I respect Like you said first, huh? Did you say I don't love you first? No, no, I was like I love you guys And then they just kind of shake their heads. So I don't want to visit me take a hint Huh take a hint time to move. I know. I I think it would Like my career would be better out here for sure for sure You'd be around more like minded people and you get to understand the journey of Brian Holtzman I didn't yeah read up on him need to watch him Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of clubs here too.

1:58:26That's the beautiful thing about this place. You can get up Anywhere here in town. There's so many clubs. It's hopping like every night of the week Yeah, your club though Uh is better than I'm not just saying that because I'm here Joe. I'm not lying to you But it's better than the Vulcan. I don't know if you know the Vulcan. It's a great club Thank you Tough call tough call. They probably get runoff of people Yeah, they have a lot of great shows there. They have great shows there all the time a lot of the guys from the club Do shows over there. They do it all the time. Yeah, it's like that and then Brian Redban's room the sunset Which is right down the street?

1:59:02That's only like four or five doors down and that place packed all the time That place is killer That format on killtoni is just perfect So great perfect. He's got it dialed in It's like a finally oiled machine It's like you are or anybody who does things for you. He's been doing it for years. Yeah And uh as a rhythm of it like imagine like like how people come up concept of a show And you would never come up with this you would never go. This is gonna work right away. I just killed tonic format Well, it needed like years and years of development. Yeah, yeah This is the thing like they did that show once a week for a decade A decade they never missed an episode They did it during the pandemic with no crowd Oh really yes Yes, they did killtoni in the main room with no crowd They live streams.

1:59:54Oh Right bro the whole like they never let go they never they look like a pit bull on a second nuts just clamp And then never let go and now it's enormous like that episode where um Adam Ray played Joe Biden and Shane Gillis played Trump I think that has like no way more really I think it's like 60 million people have watched it on YouTube. That's crazy. How many how many people Jamie? Oh, don't I get nailed it I lied Wow, I thought it was a lot more than that. Well, there's probably other also clips if you put it together It's um, maybe that's what it is. Yeah, because I was told it was like 60 million people watched it People just know that it's a high.

2:00:34Maybe it's all of them But if you think about all the clips on top of that, I mean it's a giant show now I think a lot of also there is that it's only 25 million. Why did I think it was more Is there maybe he's adding multiple ones where those guys were on together? It's there's some value in having a live show Now it's pops more than other because you can tell that show is improvised. Yes, there's so many moments are awkward And don't work it makes even more live. It's fun interesting to watch. Yeah, it's dangerous Yeah, it's also super stressful, but also you with kill Tony you're literally getting crazy people and giving him a microphone No, some of those people are out of their minds half of them are homeless.

2:01:17Yeah, yeah Half of them are sleeping in their car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of them like drove from Seattle one guy Well, let's say the story But there's like the laryk head story What about that laryk head story now's the time the time now's the time. Now's the time Point. That's better be a good story. It doesn't really funny if it's not Geez I think you need your wish All right, so on this it's the only thing I've ever like booked where I where I like sitcom ever booked where I was like I read I did callbacks. There's like four callbacks. Okay Finally, I got a sitcom and it was like a reoccurring role It was and I put this guy this girl's boyfriend.

2:01:58She's like did not find me. I could tell she was like Because we don't have a make -out scene Yeah, sure So we go to the table read you know the table read was like where the network come you all sit around and they just laugh and everyone's having a great time So right before our table read They go Kyle we got some new lines for you about like eight new lot They as I were like all new lines and I knew how my reading was we've talked about that And some panic and a little like okay, Kyle just you can do this read just read good Kyle I'm thinking in my head. Oh my god So it's going around the table.

2:02:36It's like ha ha ha Killing gets to me my line. I'm like if if if I go to the Store then we can get it and the debt quiet then it goes around the table. How there huh me? I found and then afterwards. I'm like Um, I think I'm fired and it was so much like climbing a mountain to get this job And then the next day I didn't get a call. They didn't know instead you're fired. So I come in the next day And uh, I'm about to get to the door and the cast director's like whoop and she goes you're we're not you're can you can go home You're they're gonna do a different direction. They say that you can go home You can go home.

2:03:17I got there and I and she was but you're going to a rack that'll be cool She's trying to make a small talk because I was going to a rack like the next way to stand up. Yeah, you as a tour Um Kind of a hero I guess

2:03:33It was uh, yeah, so my my you can go home. It's the most fucked up way to tell someone they're home Yeah, they're gonna go a different way. Oh, okay And then I get to go to a rack. So that was my prize. You should have told them you can't read I should have said I'm dyslexia. You know, you're still nervous. You want to be like I'm not a problem and I can do it. Yeah um Anyway, she'll suck. Yeah, it was no Sanford and son well I didn't even know about it until an hour ago. You got that neurogum. They just did. No, this is uh I stole a pack uh Jay or someone got me a pack of neurogum stuff, huh?

2:04:13Well, I you know, I wanted a little pick me up and I went online. No, I'm good now, but like I was online and I I wanted to buy this stuff and try it And I got scammed it was like Neutra gum the same packaging is And then I was like this ain't the stuff these motherfuckers There's your mother fuckers. Do you mess around with neutropics? Oh, there's a lot of good ones out there Neutropics. Yeah, that's what new. That's what you know what that word means, but why don't you tell the audience? It's it's These things. This is like neural mints. This is the same company. They make mints. Um, it's just like cat tropics No, it's like thinning caffeine a bunch of it's essentially nutrients that help brain function So it helps with your memory.

2:04:55It helps with your verbal memory like the be able to read you know Sometimes you're searching for a word. You can't find it the stuff helps with that Um, yeah, not just this may probably would probably it's I think it's just it it helps It's the building blocks for human neurotransmitters as it's been unexplained to me like there's certain nutrients that like You know like vitamin D It helps muscle synthesis. It helps a bunch of things helps your immune function. There's a bunch of nutrients to do different things in your body, right? and Thienine is a really good one for memory Um, there's a bunch of alpha coline Um, was it alpha gpc colines that what it is?

2:05:35acetyl coline There's a quite a few different nutrients that have been identified as to helping brain function And so the way I found out about this stuff there was Bill Romanowski the football player He has a company that he's got really good stuff. It's called neuro one And it's like a scoop you just mix it in water and blend it up or whatever and it's uh, and I tried I was on a radio station in San Francisco and they gave it to me. I was like this is great. Where can you get this? Like it really does like give you a little pick me up. Mm -hmm. Just but not like like five shots of espresso It's just like a little edge of focus Yeah, I could use a little memory um, booster.

2:06:13I don't sleep well enough. I'm really gonna try to fix that because uh What are you gonna do if it's? I'm gonna You're gonna be really proud of me. You ready to prepare it. I'm gonna be taking juj - I have a jujitsu class on Monday my first one That'll help you sleep. I think so I go to sleep a bunch of times in class. I may yeah I actually do not have a neck for like a chokehold kind of sport. I have I'm 30 % neck Well, um, that's a that is a large target But my advice would be just to take it easy slowly at first. How old do you know? 26 you look like shit Just go slowly. Yeah, that's my advice.

2:06:53Don't try to go too fast. Especially if you have been working out hard Have you been working out hard? Not and then now. Yeah, the answer is no so that means You know your joints not gonna be the most resilient Don't don't try to do it all at once. That's my thing with that That's by the way that's with everything if like I'm gonna run a marathon tomorrow. Hey, hey, hey Have you ever run before? No, I don't run it all right, right? Okay. Let's not run a marathon Let's let's run a mile. Let's do one mile, which is a lot if you don't run A mile is a lot if you do not run a mile is a lot. Yeah, but you can't just run a marathon And if you're gonna do Jiu -Jitsu like start slow Don't try to do a two and a half hour session.

2:07:33I'm gonna roll with five guys today like Learn an arm bar. Learn how to tap. Okay. This is a triangle I told them like give me the most beginner thing. Oh, you they have to do it that way Everyone's gonna do it that way nobody teaches you like flying triangles the moment you get into the class They teach you beginner stuff like this is the mount. This is side control This is the guard teach you like simple basics good for confidence too. I hear oh, yeah, you can fight It'll help a lot it does, but it also it's great for stress relief because no matter what your day is It will never be as stressful as some dude mounting you trying to choke you unconscious This is now if you fight that off and then you get you're done with your class like regular stuff is like one every Some crazy home was got man fuck you.

2:08:19You like fucking two guys take care. You don't want to you know You don't even want to be in any you don't have this desire to puff your chest out like a lot of people do It's like stop. Mm -hmm. I now you're proud of me for doing this now. You're about to be not proud of me Okay, it's gross class It's all women's you know I don't want you boners when I'm like I would not want that woman. You know, you're not gonna get a boner No, if I'm you're a woman Kyle don't let anybody ever tell you different. Thank you so much Don't let anyone this identify. Don't let anyone deny your humanity. I'm a man No, what am I not gonna get what am I gonna get upset?

2:08:58I'm also taking a pickleball class. I like pickleball You know, please pickleball every day. Wait. Let me guess 20 questions. You only time I ever let you guys every time I jump in Uh Duncan Russell takes pickleball. He might but that's what I was thinking the least thing out kid rock But shit ball every day. I love it any kind of like racket ball sport He was yeah, I get up and eight o 'clock morning, but fucking trainer comes over and play pickleball like every day It's like every day. I love it. I want that kind of money where I just pay out a clover like pickleball Yeah, it was a trainer. It's got a trainer Probably teaching him.

2:09:34I bet he's a pickleball wizard now. He's probably knows how to do the secret moves Sliced the ball. I'll destroy Would you rock it pegable? You think so. Let's set it up a clown. Whoa Kidrock is a clown. I can't believe you're calling them out like this on my show. I'm just saying I don't think he's got a president. He brought Bill March to the whiteout I have an underwear. Have you brought Bill March to the white house? He had dinner with president Are we in like a madlibs of episode? I hope so. I hope so. I'm scared of this tariff stuff because it's radical change I'm scared of radical change.

2:10:06Well, let me tell you what I think and I don't know anything good We don't both of us don't know. This is a perfect time speculated about the economy This is all his negotiating. It's gonna come down. It's not it's not gonna stay like this The bad thing will be is if all the other countries go fuck you America. We're not gonna do any we're not gonna It's always a possibility and then that's a problem It's always a possibility also. You're not nearly as charming if people can't speak your language Like Trump is used to being able to charm people Yeah, it's very charming, but if you can't speak his language might look yeah Like fuck this orange asshole.

2:10:35It's like I mean, like you know, I don't even know this guy What is he saying and someone has to tell you what he said? Like it's not cute when Boris Yavinovich has to translate in your ear Mr. Putin he says these tariffs. This is bullshit. It's part of the game It's part of the card game. We are playing all together globally. He yeah It's like in the comments from like like Paul and she's like oh your comedian tell the joke And you're like no, you're not gonna find this funny. I can't tell you That a joke let me tell you first about the history of my country and so free Yeah, and we tell you how many people Stalin starve to death and then you tell me you're cute little fucking joke in my village Yeah, I've had that I have me recently.

2:11:19I was like I'm not telling you. It's not gonna go. Yeah That's a tough one when people ask me if they don't know why I am genuinely I What the easiest one to say is I do commentary for the USA Oh, that's good. That's because if I say podcast, well people know you know, I mean I People don't know me. It's nice. Every now and then I get a person doesn't know who I am like some old fella. Oh an old fellow. Yeah, what do you do? Yeah, what do you do, Sean? I do commentary for the ultimate fighting championship and then they look at you sideways like what that's that's still They'll could be a conversation.

2:11:49Here's what I do in like a plane. I go I work with computers. They're like That's good. That's a down finance is to yeah, but if I want to have a conversation with someone if I don't mind Have it a conversation with them. I just don't want to explain the whole thing. I forget you do UFC commentary That's another great job. That's a job. That's the only great job. I have all the great jobs But that's the only job I have that's that's an actual job or someone pays me like I show up I work for somebody. I'm an employee Yeah, I have to sign up. There's something you want to do that you haven't done.

2:12:21Are you looking? Yeah, I'm not looking to do anything. You have a goal. No, it's your goal. What about retiring and traveling? retirement ideas. No Pyramid you ever see those I want to see the pyramids. I do too, but I think what's going to happen is you go Oh, there they are and now you're like, I don't think so 20. I've been upset with pyramids since I was like a little boy Can you go in them now at all? You can you can go? Okay, and if I went I'd Hopefully be able to get someone to guide me like a really good person. I could try to you could you do it as Caitlin Jenner though? Yeah, baby. That's just where the guy died Imagine he filmed that.

2:12:55Hey, he was buried with his dog. Yeah. Have you seen this whole controversy? They think that there's like Jesus enormous structures. This is I don't know But there's a guy named Jimmy Corsetti. He has this great YouTube show called Bright Insight He's been on my show many times very smart guy and very reasonable guy And also is a huge believer that there's a missing chapter in ancient history He doesn't believe in it. He he thinks it ignores something that everyone knows There's this enormous water table that's underneath the pyramids So the pyramids there's water underneath the pyramids and mr.

2:13:29Beast apparently On his YouTube thing that he did with the pyramids went into the water So they were all in the water splash around the water. So this water table. Yeah, so underneath the pyramids There's water that flows That's been there for like a stable to me Yeah, the she thought engineering mind to talk to you before they built that 5 ,000 years ago So 5, 10 is probably more it's probably a lot more on if I had a guess I think they're wrong I think the hieroglyphs that are on the wall that depict pharaohs leading back to 30 ,000 plus years It's probably accurate. I really want to know how they built those.

2:14:06I really I think that says Those you see some of those stones are so I don't believe aliens or I don't believe that that happened I think people built that But how did they get some of those stones up There this episode is brought to you by ship station Managing an e -commerce business is challenging enough without the added chaos of shipping and order fulfillment It can feel like trying to herd cats on roller skates That's where ship station comes in with its simple dashboard ship station lets you handle all your shipping needs in one place Automating tasks securing the best shipping rates and even printing labels with a single click Whether you're shipping a few packages a day or thousands it grows alongside your business Plus it integrates seamlessly with all the services and selling channels you already use So you can keep your existing workflow intact while making it even more efficient ready to bring calm to the chaos Go to shipstation .com and use the code JRE to sign up for your free trial This episode is brought to you by rocket money with prices going up on just about everything lately dealing with money can be stressful Trying to manage subscriptions track spending and cut costs can feel overwhelming and luckily Rocket money can relieve some of that stress and help you feel confident in the financial decisions you make Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings If you've got a goal you'd like to save for rocket money can analyze your accounts to find the best time each month to put extra money aside Rocket money's five million members have saved a total of five hundred million and cancel subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all the apps premium features Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with rocket money go to rocket money dot com slash JRE today That's rocket money dot com slash JRE rocket money dot com slash JRE Well, I was watching this guy here's the answer.

2:16:25I'll tell you who this guy is because uh Shout out to him because he had a very interesting take on it I watch a lot of these like silly YouTube videos that are all like ancient history and ancient civilizations and stuff like that But this one was really kind of interesting. He's fat people falling down Um, and this guy is I also know to you Jamie His name is Michael button and he had a very good point Uh, and his point is that there's this linear path between like cave person and what we are today But he's saying but but human beings in the form that we exist in today have essentially been around for at least 315 ,000 years and there's all these large rise High like peaks and dips in the historical timeline of the temperature of the earth And in these peaks of temperature you have all this growth and change and then you have ice ages and you have drop -offs And then there's cataclysm and natural disasters and he brings up the volcano eruption the toe of volcano eruption But what he's essentially saying is human beings in this form This with the minds that we have have existed for 300 ,000 years.

2:17:39Okay. Capacity But yet only over the last few thousand years have we seen all this progress and he thinks what he he's proposing is If there was a super advanced civilization 100 ,000 years ago, there would be almost nothing left So we're supposing that what we find is all that's ever been what he's saying is If you imagine 200 ,000 years of development of technology of tools of agriculture all the different things that could have happened in those 200 ,000 years that you could have had an insanely advanced society 200 ,000 years ago and then it gets completely wiped out and then 115 to 150 depending on who you ask thousand years later You start seeing what we've seen the last few hundred years Okay, I I'm gonna push back on on that.

2:18:34Wouldn't we have wouldn't they have some metal? No, they're all they would have but he would this is what you're talking about Well, you have enormous spans of time all you have left is stone you have rocks Real go just disintegrates it all goes away. It all just gets absorbed by the earth Like you know, there's very little metal that is gonna like any forge You like if you have a knife and you leave that knife under the ground that just the earth will erode it You know a few thousand years. It's gone Just so they probably had combustion engine Here look at steel takes probably 50 to 500 years to decompose Depending on the type of an environmental conditions with stainless steel potentially taking over a thousand years So just imagine something that's a hundred thousand years old.

2:19:19You got nothing. There's nothing left And he so he makes this very interesting argument in this video that I never considered before It's just the timeline of human beings being human beings And he's like what what was it? Why was there is this great leap in technology and it is completely possible that there was great leaps Hundreds of thousands of years ago But then the question is like what happened to us? How did we get so far ahead of all these other creatures? How did we get so far ahead and you talk about like we're like this This much smarter than a the monkey. I mean, oh, we have most genes most most of our genes are chimpanzee genes Most of them what are the things under the pyramids are pillars?

2:20:02What what is that? I don't know what they're seeing See it says some some sort of satellite ground penetrating. Is it a radar a type of radar? Jamie What are they calling my Jamie? So they they have these images He's a the problem is also these guys are Italian so they're saying it in Italian And so I don't know exactly what they're saying. I'm just reading the translation I want to hear their voice. I want to hear if they sound wacky Everybody is a talking in Italian sounds beautiful But you could say nonsense shit with an Italian accent. It sounds incredible Yeah, because I don't speak Italian.

2:20:34You know beautiful language beautiful language So these images that show these feet look if it's real and that stuff is under the water table That's actually even fucking crazy Explain the collected acoustics from deep in the ground including seismic waves noise from human activity and photon interactions to map newly found shafts and chambers that extend more than 2000 feet below the surface Beyond he said these waves were collected by radar specifically by analyzing Doppler centroid abnormal abnormalities shifts or distortions and frequency patterns used to detect underground structures or changes However professor Lawrence conures a radar expert at University of Denver who specializes in archaeology and was not involved in the study still raised doubts He said photon interactions.

2:21:22This is science fiction and frequency shifts of what? Said we now have three different energy sources moving around radar electromagnetic sound seismic and light photons This is all gobbly cook. So I don't want to keep it invited to the party I heard that guy's a furry I made that up. I'm sorry sir But show me the images of what they they believe that they've found because this is it's If it is a real thing if you really do have these I mean the 3d images like they really stepped out of line and drawing it so I mean so clearly yeah, like that's not what you see you're you're honey dick in me But I got a dig But if it is under the water table That's even crazier So if they're using the water if the pyramid there's a guy named Christopher Don the believes that the pyramid is a gigantic electrical power plant Oh, yeah, like a Tesla coil kind of thing in the needles So if they're using the water for energy and they actually have these columns that extend into the water That's even crazier.

2:22:24That's an even more advanced civilization than just building these columns Well, we got a dig why don't we dig start digging there me and go over me and you'll get down there many shovels You think we need should we be safe? Yeah, definitely extras for for sure Jamie's back goes out if he digs all day though. Jamie's what are you told me that that golf swing's day kind of hurt his back I'm gonna worry about this is a serious golf swing you little jealous, right? You little jealous It was like I heard a nice little jealous. I A little jealous definitely jealous of his equipment. You heard that whack and you're like, ooh, that's going far What's your handicap Jamie?

2:23:00I think people want to know Oh, yeah, I mean, what was yours when you were playing all the time? Oh, that's a different. I won the turn to question around I know I don't want to be judge. I was first of all and this is not I know it seems like I bragged a lot on this job But this is a fact. I was the Astrak Valley country club junior golf champion. Oh, you're probably three or four when you're there maybe better No, there was not a thought. They're think there's like five kids in the country

2:23:27Now I shall shoot like a 95. I was probably like 80 when I was a kid So that's like eight Ish 85 Maybe 10 10 handicap. Is that good Jamie? Yeah, that's really good. What's yours? I probably it's 20 Jamie's got a line drive that'll fuck you up though. No, I know. I heard of the whack in that room What's the furthest you've ever driven the ball Jamie? I said that wind conditions coming to play their Joe No, no, no, I go for ball. I'm going for ball speed right now. I think and I've gotten over 160 before But that's only like one part of the equation. Is that world class? Oh, yeah, it's pretty high That's fast as fuck That's crazy That's crazy Most people who play golf don't break a hundred so like you're already in the top five But that's what you're obsessed with, right?

2:24:19Sure. I was just trying to beat my friends really It's got you play for money I mean if I go with most people here, they're only playing for money. So oh so fun Yeah, I can't get addicted to you. You never you just didn't like off. No, I never played it You've never played it. No, what do you mean? I never played it. How could you not even Because I'm scared of games. I get addicted to games. I don't have any time. I have my life It's a big. Yeah, I think we're bidding now. No, legitimately. Well, chest you play chess. No, that's the same thing No, no, it's not good. Are you that good because you're on the spectrum?
