4:23You know, you get to some of those rural areas or something like that and people, they'll bring their sister out there. Yeah, it's like an event, dude. Hey, you got to meet Martha. Like people are like. It's like going into town. Like it's like an hour and a half. They like stock up on like dry goods and then they go see Theo Vaughn. They're like, I got to get kidney beans for the winter while I'm in Portsmouth. And then I got to go back to my little fucking cabin. Yeah, I got to get some cornmeal and I got to get Cindy Lou. A little Cindy Lou Cindy Lou who needs a Cindy Lou husband Yeah go to the dentist too This is a drawing of my sister You gotta come see her Oh dude that would be such a come up For somebody in like a Rural ass New Hampshire If they successfully got you If they basically sold Their sister's pussy For entry into your life You know what I mean That's what marriage was Truly back in the, I mean, purely transactional, like, take my daughter off my hands.

5:27Here's, it was the opposite. You had to, like, give a motherfucker goats to take your daughter from you. And why would they do it? Because you're from Greece. Yes. So you, there was a lot of that over, there was a lot of that. My grandparents are in arranged marriage, straight up. My grandparents. Like, it's not even that fucking long ago, dude. And it was, yeah. Arranged marriage is what they have, like, you, so arranged marriage is they say, all right, guess what? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This fucking guy you don't know. Darren. Yeah. Yeah. Stavros, actually. Yeah. My grandfather Stavros was married to, yeah, the guy I'm named after.

6:01Hilarious guy. Is he? Now, were they in love or did you, could you notice that they were arranged? Dude, there's never a more arranged couple in the history of the world. Like, my grandfather was so fucking cheap. Like, it's funny because you find out about him later on and you find out about, like, the guy he was outside of this weird, toxic marriage. And he's like, he would help homeless people. He was like really politically active. He was like, you know, Greece was really the politics after World War II were really fucked up. And he was like, you know, fighting fascists and shit like he was like a cool dude.

6:31But all I knew him was is the guy who like wouldn't let my grandmother turn the lights on because it because it fucking took electricity. But he would buy he collected rare birds. He would get like my grandmother would go to like the fucking cheapest. Like he wouldn't go out of pocket. She would have to go to like the government doctors. But he would buy his birds, like, special fucking pills for their coat, make their coat shiny. He would buy vitamins and shit. This motherfucker would not let her, like, if she ran the fucking fan on, not the air conditioning, forget. They didn't have air conditioning.

7:05If the fan was going too long, he'd be like, toothlessly, he would be like, what's going on in there? Let's cut it off. Cut it down, yeah. He would just shuffle and he would just fucking cut. He wouldn't even say shit to her. I'll have this owl flap its wings for us. Yeah. That'll keep things cool. Yeah. Hell yeah, my fucking cockatiels. We need nothing but them. Yeah, we don't need a ceiling fan. I have two tokens that are here. Have a way, boys. Yeah, dude. Wow. How beautiful must that have been, though, back in the day, if you didn't have a ceiling fan, but you could train, like, six warblers to just, like, find a little circle in your living room.

7:42That would be really picaresque. Yeah. You know? You'd feel real whimsical. And then that song, Oh, come all ye faith. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. You'd have to train separate birds. Yeah, you'd have to train like parrots to sing. If you don't have a fan, you don't have a fucking record player. That's a good point, actually. Yeah, the all-bird appliance. Choir. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome to Stavros' all-birds appliances. He's like, yeah, my grandfather's like the Flintstones, but with birds. In Greece in like 1992. It's like fully, fully had it. Like upstairs, it was modern. this motherfucker had a like his personal fan yeah he wouldn't let her cut the ceiling fan on but he had like a fan before the guards like it was literally a fan with three sharp ass blades no no front he had a fan from before they had fronts they hadn't invented the front of the fan and i was like what the fuck is this where like being like a fat 10 year old who's like just wants to be in air conditioning and play fucking you know playstation and i have to go hang and like the worst part of our vacations in Greece were like, go hang out with your grandfather.

8:54And, you know, he's just making, like, spaghetti that is so boiled, it just disintegrates on your tongue. He has no teeth. Of course. He eats like a baby. You know what I mean? He just shreds and cheese on there. And then he's like, come into my fucking room. Him and my grandmother obviously had separate rooms. Oh, yeah. Is that a Greek thing or not? That's like a they hated each other their entire lives thing. Okay. So adulthood. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Which is very, I guess now it's progressive Like if I got married I would want Separate rooms Come hang out We'll still probably sleep in somebody's bed together Most of the time But like I gotta fucking Especially we travel all the time Yeah and people now, I think there's things now Like someone might even snore At a certain octave It's crazy the nuance That can lead you To sleep somewhere else from your spouse Or to want to have some space For sure.

9:49No, I mean, I got a CPAP, dude. You do? Oh, yeah. I'm fat as shit, dude. I got to have a CPAP. And does CPAP, what does it do? Does it, like, process the fat at night or something? I wish. That would be sick if it just jiggled your shit. No, you get so fat that it's dangerous to sleep. Like, you get so fat that you might just, like, like, when you're fat friends, if they've ever, like, passed out next to you, and you're like, oh, he snores funny, it's like he is fighting for his life. Oh. Like, it's like, it's like, and actually, not, I mean, fat people have it more than non-fat than non-fat people but like when you hear about like a healthy guy who's like he ran every day and he just dropped dead into sleep sleep apnea like it happens to like like non like bad snores and shit and that's really fucking bad for you because it's like imagine if you never got a good night's rest ever your entire fucking life and it just like you know adds up so like it'll fuck it'll fuck it'll fuck you up and that can happen with sleep Sleep apnea, that's what, so sleep apnea is, let's bring it up there.

10:49Yeah, let's get sleep apnea on the board. Yeah, let's get. Show me sleep apnea. What the hell? This is Steve Harvey. Things that make my wife wet. Show me sleep apnea.

11:08Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Wow. So it's kind of like that new button that they have in cars a lot? Yes. Push to start. If you're pushed to start and your fucking Nissan Maxima was on the fritz And you just stopped in the highway you might get fucking rear-ended and that's basically suffocating in your sleep as a fat man What if that was your husband you just had to make sure you hit the button every time? He just He just settles down like you're in a stoplight You hear him starting up again Yeah Just one big nipple They replace one nipple With the stay alive button Yeah He's gotta pinch it Yeah And one time instead She walks over softly right Yeah And you think She's gonna go press the button This is how the movie ends Yeah And she brings her other hand up And there's just flowers And she sets them on his chest Wow And she walks out of the room And frees all the women That he's been keeping in the basement Oh so he's also a sex criminal And goes downstairs And tells grandma Turn on the face Turn on the fan.

12:10Yeah. Oh, Grandpa Stavros is dead. And you hear the, yeah. You hear the fan just war up. Yeah. And everything is free suddenly. Yeah. You hear a strangle all the fucking cockatiels. Roar! Roar! You hear all the birds who were his accomplices in the sex crimes. They were, he trained birds with like, he would put suction cup dildos on their heads and they would fly rape. They would just. Just landing in villages. Let's take it all the way. Yeah. Let's take this scenario all the way Just landing in women from just the air Just like Oh damn Some lady's just going for a walk or something Yeah dude Just getting raped by a fucking toucan Dude one time I was in New York and this lady comes walking It was my first time ever there And she goes did you see that right And she kept pointing And somebody had I guess jumped off a building nearby Because a lot of people were gathered around God damn you know and she's like did you see that did you see that and so i'm looking up there and then i said did i see what and she just showed me her uh vagina and she goes that guy landed in my pussy so is the first of all awesome bit awesome bit you're not thinking about looking at a pussy oh not at all she tricks me with the building and then she goes that guy landed in my pussy and showed me her vagina.

13:35And it made me so scared. And I'd just gotten into the city. Yeah, dude. You're like, what they told me back in Tennessee was right. Yeah. They're like, what they told me back in the fucking... And some guy's like, buy two cannolis or you'll die in an hour. Like, there was all kind of like street mystery going on. Absolutely. God, it's scary. Now, I wonder what she's thinking there in terms of... First of all, you don't see a lot of female, like, flashers, which is kind of cool. So salute to her to kind of like Bringing the glass ceiling of like Sex crime, she's breaking it By flashing her pussy Cause it's hard to get a guy not to want to look at your pussy Also, you know what I mean, they're up against They're up against that Most guys will at least take a peek Even if they don't want to fuck, out of curiosity I'll look at most ladies' pussies just to Alright, I'll take a look You know, I mean, I don't know, what did she look like Was she like, fuck up?

14:27And I like to say cooter Honestly, I do want to say that, I don't mind You want to say cooter? Yeah, I just don't want... These are cultural differences here. Well, somebody could be with their kids or something. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay, you're so right. I don't want... Yeah, well, when I imagine, I don't want the kid to be like, hey, mom, what's up? Who is it? Right, right, right, right. But if the kid's like, hey, mom, what's a cooter? Yeah, what about muff? You know? Cooter's cute. Yeah. And then mom could be like, cooter is somebody that works at the gas station. Right, right, right.

14:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, there's a lot more mystery there. Oh, yeah. But I think if you look at a vagina, like, you almost have to look at it from the bottom. I don't feel like if you're looking directly on, it's like, it could be any age, right? That's true. Yeah, head on. You don't, yeah. You don't see the wear and tear unless it's the... Yeah, I don't feel like you want to, it's like... You need a reverse drone shot, basically. It gets flying up. Right, it just shocked me. I'd never seen a woman, you know, and it was like reverse magic, like it landed in my... Yeah, yeah.

15:23That's also really fun, too, to say that he landed because what is she saying there? Right. That it caught her or is her cooter so tight that maybe that's what exploded his brain. You know what I mean? It's like it wasn't the sidewalk. That's how my – I can't say cooter. I'm sorry. It feels weird. Yeah, yeah. You're right. It's just for me, too. Yeah, yeah. I could say c**t's not better. That's probably worse, right? I mean, it's all fine. I think – I just think of different places listening, you know? Sure, sure, sure. Of different environments. Muff How do you feel about muff? Some people used to say that dussy People used to say all the time That dussy Yeah, what else?

16:02Cooter Gash is a clad twat Oh, yeah It's more British You know, there is You're right You do go through I'm sorry, that looks like it pained you To hear twat I think I wonder You have a real distaste for everything but cooter Yeah Yeah, I think I do, man interesting i wonder cooter just sounds more manageable it sounds like an animal you're trying to hunt it's cuter for sure like maybe it could be it could be a like a pixar character could be named cooter there he is look at her that's awesome yeah no and she has on heels you know yeah of course like a squirrel yeah like a squirrel in makeup but then nowadays she comes on stage, she's like, I'm a man.

16:52Right, right. Whoa, Cooter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Look, Cooter, named after a pussy, now he's trans. Or she's trans, I guess. A trans squirrel named Cooter. That would, honestly, the odds of that being in a Pixar movie are pretty high. We're going to get a trans squirrel in a Pixar movie. The odds of that being the next lead in, like, Lethal Weapon 11. I don't know, Mel might throw his body in front of that. I mean, I guess as long as it's not a Jewish trans person, he might be down. That's true. Do we know his stance on trans? No, Jews we got. That's pretty well documented.

17:31You think? I think so. I think we got Mel on Jews pretty nicely. You didn't even have to hear his comments, just watch Passion of the Christ. It's like, this is awesome, dude. You learned a whole language, ancient language, to be anti-Semitic. Because that gives you cover. when you learn the ancient language and bring it back from the dead he's just like no no no I'm trying to be real if that was in English they'd be like Jesus tone it down on the juice but you're like whoa this is a different tongue it's like I'm in a different world I'm in a different place so respect to Mel for that one a lot of people I'm not going to say I bought some of the merch some of the unauthorized merch some of the bootleg bootleg Passion of the Christ merch Yeah Savro, thanks for coming, man Yeah, dude, thanks for having me So some audience might not know you, right?

18:24And really, I just think about my mom Sure Because she watches the show Okay And But yeah, so you started out I know you're out of Maryland Yeah, I grew up in Baltimore Right And is that weird being like a Like a white person in Maryland Or in Baltimore? Yeah, yeah I mean I mean, look I grew up Greek I mean, I'm Greek And is Greek Are y 'all Where are you guys? because I know it goes... On the race rankings? Yeah. Well, as an ethnic white, it's like, it's kind of the best, I kind of consider it the best of both worlds because it's like, you know, we're kind of, we got our own cuisine, we got, I speak a different language, we got a place to vacate, like the beaches are fucking sick.

19:05Weren't here for slavery. Huge. Really? That's huge. Yeah, no, my family came over here in 82. Which, what, 1382? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Grandpa Stoppers. If Slayer even happened. You're so right. Yeah, I mean. I'm just saying they never found the boats. Yeah. I think there are some boats. Actually, the boats are not the problem. Really bring up a couple. So you think Amistad was like just kind of a, it was like fictional or it was like a potential reimagining? No, I just think it was like, look, I love Amistad. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great movie. I'm just saying it's I think some things are up for interpretation I'd be funny if you thought slavery happened like the way it was in Django If that's the only thing you accepted because it was like the one where the slaves win You're like yeah it was them taking advantage of us Yeah That would be a fun There'd be funny if there's like a racist guy who's like Slavery didn't happen except in the way that Quentin Tarantino said Yeah And that's how it happened And we actually need reparations You know that would be a fun twist on it Well the way the world is now I feel like somebody could see a movie, see a documentary, and that's the, I mean, I guess I don't know what they teach in school.

20:19So I feel like it's like some people, you get all your information off of one YouTube video, and that is your fuel. That's your fuel for the rest of your life. You're good, dude. You're all set on learning on that topic. Yeah. Yeah. It's real dangerous. Do you think you would have owned a slave or not? Interesting. Let's see here. I don't know if this conversation is going to be good. Yeah, we probably should move. Yeah, we should do like an abrupt cut. I'm going to say no, though, before we do. Just for the record, no. And then we can move on. Okay. I'm okay with talking.

20:55I mean, it's, I mean, yeah, I wouldn't. Yeah. Me neither. So we're clear. And folks, for those listening, I didn't do air quotes. I'm not saying anybody else did, but I wouldn't. No air quotes. I'm just going to put it that way. Oh, air quotes are the new shackles, huh?

21:19I don't know about that. Here's my old ball and air quotes right here. Yeah, dude. Yeah, absolutely. No, look, man, I believe in freedom, man. Sure, sure. That's such an awesome take. When we're talking about slavery, it's like me, I'm on the freedom side. It's like I'm with you too. Look here, buddy. All right. But it was not, I would say the key part about, again, going to like the white ethnic group is if you weren't a part of slavery and you grow up in like a majority black city, that is a fun little like get at it being accused of racism free card. where it's like I would 100 % like when they're making fun of the white trash kid whose family like you know came over here in Ireland 300 years ago who couldn't afford food who probably also couldn't afford a slave no chance yeah but he was around you know we don't know we don't know what he was up to he doesn't have the papers I know for a fact some Stavros Halkius 300 years ago was on a beach like fishing fishing for what though?

22:30Black cod? black cod or cock? Cod. With a D, okay. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't think so. Maybe like octopus? Just saying. Maybe like calamari, a shrimp or two? I understand. It just depends on what he was trying to pull out. That's true. Yeah, no, they haven't. Bring up a black cod. Well, what's interesting about Greek racism is that they don't even, like, they don't have a term, like, don't get me wrong, in Greece, Greek people are racist like you know there's Plenty of Greek people that are racist but There's not even like a term for like Black guy they call like It's like It's all lumped into like Arabs like they just like They consider black people just like cause that's That's old school Greek racism Cause it's like you know Yeah the original stuff is that the original Yeah cause Turks the Ottoman Empire took over Greece in like the 13 or 1400s And they got our asses good for like 500 years y 'all were slaves i mean yeah pretty much not not like in the but like in a vassal sense where it's like these motherfuckers just came over we were second-class citizens in our own country kind of thing oh yeah but i've been to a lot of people yugoslavians too for sure no absolutely they the ottomans the ottomans had a nice little run there and all they got that was that piece of furniture they yeah off the strength of the furniture they were like they what happened is they would have real tiny little Turks.

23:59They would hollow out. They used our own move about the Trojan horse. They would hollow out these Ottomans, little Turkish midget in there, pops out in the middle of the night, just fucking slits everyone's throat. You know, they were smart. You got to give them credit. Slits their throat? That's a little guy? Yeah, just a little guy. Nice with the knife, though. Nice with the simtar. Yeah. That'd be crazy, smallest ninja. Yeah, dude. Yeah, so tiny. The real little. So ninja. So, yeah. That's a nice. I would love that representation right there. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. That's right.

No. Because now they have a bar attached to it. that's a good place for like a crowd to linger to try and fuck you would be the bar but you're saying you're just in the lobby of mgoobies yeah i'm just lobbying around out there i'm just like a i guess a lobbyist or whatever i don't even know what it is yeah yeah anymore but yeah i'm just out there and they were kind of hanging around and they were like hey we just want to let you know you know we live here nice you'd like to come back and spend some time with my wife you know oh so it wasn't even a threesome it was like a cuck situation he wanted you to fuck his wife in front of him maybe see i didn't know i guess i didn't see like all there wasn't like a fanflit or anything you know so i didn't see all of the details yeah absolutely i was like damn dude i don't you know spend some time with my wife sounds like i want you to fuck my wife it doesn't sound like hey you fuck my wife while she sucks my dick it sounds like i want i'm gonna be in a little chair and i'm gonna be watching you fuck my black wife yeah that's what it sounds like to me like he's just gonna sit on an ottoman or something that would be good too because that further that further like you know puts him in a position of like uh not not my dumb brain isn't working i was gonna say a position of not power right which shows you how fucking dumb i am which is there is a word i'm looking for and i'm not gonna get it i'm gonna filibuster until maybe i think of it like a tertiary position no but no no like uh it doesn't matter we're gonna have like an inferior position even more inferior position right yeah because when you're lower you're more yeah you're at least more of a supporting cast or or absolutely yeah and you would think if you're on a bed he's on an ottoman he might be looking directly into his wife's cooter as your cock is going in and out of it oh what was that oh well you gotta i can't say cock yeah you can it's just man but you know what i'm saying i'm trying to stay off the porn bro i'm sorry you're getting You brought it with you.

30:29I didn't know you have it inside of you. You jump off a building and crack open. Like a kinder egg and I'm full of pornography. Oh, it's just a bunch. It's like a couple of cast members from Black or Bang Bus. Yeah, they come out. Some teen was fucking inside of a small bus inside of my stomach. That's what's going on here. somebody wearing olives as wristlets just come out completely naked uh damn dude so but i'm just saying if you were a cuck a lower position where you could peer directly into the action would be even more humiliating in my opinion you know what i'm saying yeah that's a shame you didn't take him up have you ever been in a in a in a three-way we had a woman or man somebody emailed us one time and tried to give me money to fly out there to um san francisco to make love to their wife wow interesting but only those couple times let me think i'm sure you've got plenty of you and two girls in the heyday when you're real fuck you know when you're getting fucked up all the time oh i think there was one time i remember i was in i think missouri or something right and they had this one lady and she was just a real she was viby she was just a damn drumbeat I love that, dude.

31:52Yeah. A lot of silk. What are we talking? Like, when you say vibe, in my head, I'm thinking belly dancer. I'm thinking like, you know what I mean? It's the most Greek thing ever. I love how in Greek stuff, even the dancer still has a belly. Yeah, dude. A little soft. We're going to acknowledge the best part. The belly. The belly dancer, dude. Hell yeah. Oh, the third tit. Yeah. I like a little squish, dude. Yeah, huh? Give me a little something. God's tit. Yeah. The belly. That is true, actually, man. God's tit is the best, that belly, bro. Nothing wrong with God's tit. Dude, I bet now this would be interesting if women got a nipple installed on that belly instead of that whatever the hole is.

32:36The butt. Which is so outdated, dude. Let's get that out of there. Yeah. If they put a nipple, you know how many guys? Then you get fat as shit. And people are like, damn, it's a third tit. But not even a third one. Like a fucking awesome. It's third. Right. But it's the biggest, best one. Oh, yeah. It's a, yeah. That would be sick. Yeah, it's like... Wow, that's genius. Honestly, dude, you're a fucking genius for that one. Because that's like a fucking taking your weakness and turning it into your greatest strength. In a heartbeat. Yeah, like just like that. Some dude just sucking on that thing.

Read the full transcript

33:08Sucking on a giant stomach. Here's the best part. In a dude's brain, it would feel like awesome. Absolutely. Just this, doing this. One giant titty. You close your eyes It's like you're sucking Like a giantist's tits Like Yeah Like The guy from Jack and the Beanstalk The guy at the top Charlie Charlie the Giant Right I believe Charlie No Charlie was the guy Climbing up Oh Charlie was the guy No wasn't it Jack Oh the one eyed thing Oh yeah Jack No Jack died I think his brother Started doing it Oh shit okay It's like a Gallagher 2 situation Where it's like He just takes Charlie just takes fucking Jack's whole shit and starts climbing up beanstalks.

33:53Bro, he's a NEPA baby.

33:59He's a damn NEPA baby. But yeah, I remember this one lady from Missouri, so she had... She was real vibey. She just kind of was like... She was cute. Sure. When we say vibey, so we're talking like hippie vibey? Crystals vibey? No. Just pretty clean looking, I guess. Clean, okay. A woman you want to fuck is what you mean. I mean a woman who it's like, hey, wow, look at this clean lady. Okay. That's not what I would describe as vibe-y, but again, cultural differences. Like somebody you could lay next to and not feel like, oh, man, I'm going to get stains on my shirt or whatever. Like, you know, just a tidy lady, I guess.

34:41A clean woman. Yeah. I would say what you're describing is like the bare minimum for wanting to have sex with someone. yeah or anything yeah yeah yeah that's vibey alright nice so anyway she invites me over and she had a friend with her right and the friend had this very like she looked like one of those weight lifters from like 1906 or something with the barbell that had the stuff canyered on it like 12 pounds 7 ,000 pounds she had like a singlet on like a one a little curly mustache you know like it's just like uh yeah yeah it's like a leotard or whatever like uh the big show would wear yes yes she had that man and she was jacked she's like i'm down to make love or you know try to try to make love if you want to do it but my friend is gonna do it also wow now the strong girl is her friend yeah so the vibe now what would you say Is the strong girl, is she vibey as well?

35:43The strong girl is more strong. Okay. Yeah, okay. And so you didn't fuck them? I don't remember. Honestly, it would happen. I don't even remember. That's crazy. You do remember. I think it blocked out. You were getting fucking deadlifted by the strong girl? I mean. She grabbed you by the penis and just clean and jerked you and then sucked you off? She's fucking sucking your dick like this. Overhead press.

36:17The other girl's just watching Martin. She's not even involved. She's watching Martin on her phone? Yeah, she's just watching. Martin. Oh, fuck. That's crazy. Well, I hooked up with a strong girl. I don't want to do my act. I do a joke in the special about the tape in May, but I did hook up with a strong girl, and I really did like it. She was, it was fucking sick. She had giant, like, muscly-ass thighs. And it was like a battle, dude. It was like, I was in there. And like, you know, you're eating pussy. And it's like, you're the strongest one in the equation. And it's like, you have total control of the person's body while you're going down on them.

36:56With her, it was not, I was nodding. Like, it was like, oh, it was like when it's like a storm on a ship. You're just like, hold on, batting down the hatches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, oh. I was like truly like suffolk like she was squeezing like sometimes a girl will squeeze her thighs when you're eating her pussy This girl was doing that and I was like having trouble breathing because she was that strong Yeah, but you also have I mean that's like a C. It's not as that's like a C puss that was yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah cracking that's like putting on the C puss Yeah Oh the CPAP the C puss yes, yes, yes But dang so do you have trouble being down there?

37:35Yeah, are you like one of those like filleting like pugs or whatever where they can't you know what I'm talking about no no no it's usually not a problem the CPAP doesn't kick in no no I'm not I'm not I'm not snoring into the pussy no where that like that little dog yeah yeah yeah a pug yes absolutely and they're like why isn't he so cute yeah yeah I'm like it looks like two sneezes are beating the fuck out of him from the inside I don't know if he's cute you better hope this motherfucker doesn't have allergies he's done Dander will kill your dog.

38:11No, no breathing problems, luckily, while I'm awake and eating pussy. Thank, praise God for that one. So you came out of Baltimore.

38:25What else? It's funny because you have real, you've started to have like real people on this show. It's so funny. the juxtaposition between like you know famous singers episodes then like you ask one question we're talking about eating strong pussy for like 45 minutes and it's like you know it's just such a funny i love it dude yeah the show has range yeah we try to we try to well a lot of stuff it's like i want to learn about and the most free time i have to sit and talk with somebody is in here no i get that dude i fully get that you know so it becomes kind of nice sometimes when you can talk to somebody and learn about something new i wish that my memory worked a little bit better sometimes but yeah dude I don't remember shit that I say or take in like I love I've started reading books just because I can't go to sleep and my brain is so dumb that if I read it'll be like it'll just shut off instead of having to read you know what I mean like so but I enjoy like I legit have some kind of learning disability and like and so that's just a trick for like I put my phone in the other room and I read and truly my brain will shut off and I remember like like I'll tell my friends, like, dude, this book was fucking sick.

39:32You know, I just read this book called The Cold 6 ,000. And they're like, oh, awesome. What's it about? I was like, fuck. It's like Cuba or like Kennedy's. I don't know shit. But in the moment, I love it. Like, I retain readings, like, minimally. I could not tell you any. I'm reading a book about, like, what the fuck am I reading now? Altered Carbon. It's pretty good. It's like a detective, like, fucking sci-fi. Oh, yeah. Is that by Michael O 'Bron? Michael O 'Candy. Yeah. The candy man. Michael O 'Candy. Remember him? Kind of a bust. It's crazy how every tall black guy is just expected to go play basketball.

40:12There should be like a rescue for that, right? Absolutely. There should be a group that goes into the NBA and just goes in with long sweaters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, bro. Get out. In the middle of the night. You don't want to be in here. You'd be a drama teacher. Yeah, you want to be a drama teacher? You want to work at the airport? Yeah. You want to be a veterinarian? That would be sick, dude. Meanwhile, the guy's just in his sleep just posting people up in his sleep. It is funny, though, because that's the only time where if you are over seven feet, you can be completely, you can have no coordination whatsoever.

40:46Hate sports. Hate basketball. They will just force you to play some level of pro sports. Like, that does have to be annoying for the guy who really is a fucking, in his heart and soul really is a veterinarian. Yeah. Really wants to be spaying cats, but he's got to fucking, you know, try and guard Giannis. You know? He's like, I just want to fucking snip a pug's nuts off right now. I just want to fucking give a pug a CPAP machine. I don't want to be getting dunked on by a Joel Embiid right now. That's got to be at least one. But, you know, and they don't even, I mean, they make money, but they don't even, if you're like a shitty end of the bench big, they make like a, you know, you make a million bucks two million i don't know what the what the nba veteran minimum is right now yeah but if it's like if they're making the minimum and then you know half that shit's gone for taxes and 10 agent and shit like they're really not that rich and it seems like a horrible life to be you're traveling all the time like if you're not super fucking rich and it's not cool if you're just at the end of a bench and you hate it and you'd rather be doing some other shit But kind of a fucking, you know, worst case scenario.

41:51Yeah. Yeah, it's got to kind of be tough, I think, especially you get there and you're like, yeah, do I even want to be here? But then at the same time, you've done enough work to be in. But then I wonder how many guys lose their desire because they don't even get to play in the games. Yeah, probably a lot. You know, that's... Imagine like being in a band. There's a band, right? Yeah, yeah. There's Def Leopards or whatever, right? Yeah, Def Leopards. And then they have three, four backup Leopards. Yeah, yeah. They can hear. Right. Those leopards. They're sitting there on the side. Yeah. You know, the first couple of shows are like, we're going to get in the game.

42:25They're priming their instruments and stuff, you know? Or you go in and you get to play one chord and they're like, all right, come out. The other leopards are back in. Yeah, with three minutes left in a song, they'll put you in if it's like a long song. While the guys, they want to get a head start on getting their dick sucked by the groupies. Yeah. So they're like just calling the backup leopards. That would be sick. But then you never get in. And so after that 30th show, are you still sitting over there pretending? I don't think so. Or are you doing, you know, you and you and the other guy next to you just, you know, trying to do how many zins you can do in your mouth at once, you know, playing fucking zen daddy with your buddy before you both leave your wife or each other, you know?

43:02That sounds beautiful, actually. That sounds like a love story. Yeah. In the darkness of being backup bass players or whatever we've concocted here, they found gay love. Two men, nine sins. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So that's actually beautiful. I've turned around on the whole thing now because I think that's awesome. Maybe those giant 7 '2 guys are discovering they're gay with other guys on the bench. That's a lot of gay sex, by the way. Two 7-footers fucking each other in the ass. Bro, what are you talking about? Just go like this, dude. I'm sorry, man. You know, what can I say? It's, again, cultural differences is a real, you know.

43:47I came in in the tracksuit, Baltimore. This is just kind of how we go about stuff. We just kind of talk about people fucking each other in the ass pretty openly. I think so. It's more vulgar. East Coast. Yeah, that's true, huh? East Coast poor city. Yeah. If you come from, like, a shitty town, you know, you're talking about that kind of shit. Yeah, right. Everyone's pretty outwardly horny. There's no like that veneer of like, you know, decorum that you got in the South. Where it's like you kind of hide your desires. Yeah. But it's just hidden, though. It's just hidden behind like something. It's barely hidden.

44:21Like behind a pitcher of lemonade, you know? Yeah, you can see it. You can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, right behind here you have some pedophilia. Oh, yeah. Oh, they got that here. They got that in a major way. How are we doing on audio and stuff in there? okay cool yeah baby um i also want to say before we go to the next question that we then somehow end up talking about two seven foot guys fucking each other in the end we we got strong we got strong girl fucking strong girls and then uh gay seven footers real fast i have a uh i'm on tour and i got a crowd work special coming out tomorrow the day after this comes out so Congratulations, man Just a little something Yeah A little something, you know, on the YouTube for free For the people out there So go to YouTube I've been trying to put all my shit on YouTube I mean, that shit's helped my career the most Is just throwing shit on YouTube Unbelievably, right?

45:15It's crazy Yeah, and so It took me from clubs to theaters It did So that's like There's like a little bonus I don't even consider this Like a special It's like a half hour crowd work special I did like some shows to warm up for this tour The Fat Rascal Tour And I just took I did four shows in New York and I just took the best moments and we put it together. So free special, go watch that. And I also have my other special, my original special, for free on YouTube. And I'm working on the actual material one. And that first one really, would you say that that had a big step in pushing you to a different space?

45:49Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, I was just doing clips and shit, which I thought, like, I never thought people would want to see 35-second or 45-second crowd work clips. Like I thought that was, you know, I was like, well, that's not what standup is. That's not what you want to do. But I was like, I'm putting out a YouTube special, you know, at the end of this year. So in like February of like the year that I put the special out, I was like, well, I have like, cause I was recording every show I did to work on the special. I would watch them back. I was like, I gotta like try and make this good. Cause it's like, you know, people knew me as like a podcast.

46:25They didn't know I was a comedian. So I was working hard on that shit. And then I had all these like little crowd work moments. So I was like, well, these are – we'll just throw them away if we don't put them up. Yeah, these are viable. Yeah, we might as well just throw them up there because my YouTube channel had like 20 ,000 subscribers. And I was like, throw them up there, see what happens. And like that shit helped grow the channel crazy. And then – because I think YouTube was just trying to steal TikTok's whole shit. And so whenever they do that, they push all that new stuff. The algorithm just – any kind of like little clip like pushes it.

46:58And yeah, dude. and then people started like subscribing to the channel and then once you had a little base and then i put the special out there it was like fuck it was crazy i couldn't even believe like truly i still can't believe like i did my first i did a bunch of theater shows in chicago and you step out and you're like who the fuck are these people how the fuck how the fuck are 5 000 people know who i am and want to see me in chicago they want to hear my stories about almost suffocating eating pussy from a bodybuilder like 5 000 people in a city i've been to three times last time i was here i did i did uh last time i was in chicago i played uh the lincoln lodge great fun room it's a 90 seater you know what i mean it's like one year later it's like the vic you know so it's like it it blows my fucking mind and you know shout out to the shout out to the algorithm baby i'm sucking on the algorithm nicely the third i look at the algorithm yeah that's the manifestation I'm on the, I'm just, I'm, I'm fucking breastfeeding on the nipple stomach right now.

48:03Um, dude, yeah. I mean, it's, I remember when your, when your special came out, um, well, I remember, I remember I met somebody that was on, uh, you know what I'm talking about. C-U-M-T-O-W. Oh, Cumbtown. Yeah. You, I think we met way back in the day. Was it serious? It's serious. Yeah. Did you have no, did you have shorter hair? I had no hair, dude. That was serious. We were, yeah, dude. Like seven years ago, we did a serious raw dog podcast. And it's like none of us, I mean, like you were doing better, but not like this. And I was nowhere near. Like we were just like, you were like a guy working clubs.

48:38And I was a guy working like Thursdays and Sundays. Oh my God, dude. I have looked up. Because I've looked. You didn't know that was me? No. You didn't know the bald guy you met at Sirius six years ago was me? No. And I've been looking for him.

48:56I'm not even joking. I know you're not. I can see it in your eyes. Because I looked at Comptown and I'm like, I swear to God this dude was from Comptown. Wow. Yeah, dude, we met so long ago. And that was a fun podcast. We didn't know each other at all. We were just kind of shooting the shit. Whose show was it? I don't know. It was like that guy Aaron. No, dude. It was like the guy, like such a low-level serious show. It was like the producers. Son or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was hilarious. And it wasn't even like a studio. It was like in an office they put four mics in, remember? Yeah. I was like, you know, what the fuck, you know.

49:40I remember, yeah, somebody yelled the N word right when I walked in there. Sorry about that. And I was like, no. I was like, all right, I'll stay. Yeah. Sorry, Sherrod made me really mad.

49:56Bro, how long was Sherrod small? The only black dude in that circle there. In that rotation, dude. Opie had Sherrod back to back to back. Sherrod was cool, bro. Yeah. Sherrod's a cool cat, man. R.I.P. Yeah, let's start that. Sherrod's been dead for years. Yeah, I miss him. Yeah, good guy, though. Good guy. What are you going to do? Dude, that's the best thing about, like, a lot of black guys, you can just go up like, don't you remember Lil' Steven, bro? And they'll be like, yeah, I remember Lil' Steven. Like, he passed away, bro. And they'll be like, no. Instantly, they won't ask a follow-up. They'll be like, damn.

50:34It's always, they got Lil' Steven. They got Lil' Steven, dude. Like, who are they, you know? Starburst? Yeah. I think it was just, it was like a blood sugar issue. Hypertension, for sure, yeah. You know? Center cut bacon. You know, like, that's what got Lil' Stevie. Which, by the way, is also Steve, I believe, Steven Van Zandt's name in the E Street band. Oh. Lil' Stevie. Lil' Stevie, yeah. Right, Lil' Steven Van Zandt? Yeah. God. Silvio. But, yeah, dude, that's hilarious. Yeah, and so you guys don't do that anymore? You guys still? No, she stopped the show, like, last year. Dude, I was fucking.

51:15Because you love, bro, I remember you telling me how freaking good it was. It was fun, dude. It was a fun show. I remember that now. Yeah, we had just started, and the show was awesome. And I looked at the lettering. It had semen coming off. It looked like, yeah, it was pure cum. But that's the show you do when you're like, you know, in your mid-20s with your boys. And it was like. Yeah, when you got extra cum. Yeah, when you got cum to spare. now I'm I need every I need I need a you know I'm drinking extra fluids when I know I'm gonna make love I want to make sure I'm fully I'm getting an IV straight to my balls just to make sure there's plenty of cum in there but yeah dude the show was fucking fun for a while and then you know I was like damn am I gonna be the cometown guy when I'm 40 you know it's like you You can't, when the brand is semen.

52:03And the first guess was yeah. Yeah. Most people in my life were like, oh, yeah, you will be. Come on, dude. Stop having, stop getting greedy. You found the gimmick, stick with it. You'll have to make fucking dick, you know, being gay with your friends jokes until you die, which I still do to some extent. Right, none of that will ever end. It shouldn't. Yeah, no, no, no. But, you know, so then it was just like, you know, I was just like. Like an evolution kind of? Yeah, I just want to do my own thing Because it's like, you know, because you do your own show It's nice to just be the only person who has to schedule anything You just do it on your own time Oh, yeah You know?

52:41Yeah, I mean, I did another show, too, for a while I did King and the Sting And it was fun, but I started to miss I didn't have enough energy, really, to focus on, like, what my own world was Yeah, yeah, yeah And what made me feel comfortable For sure And the scheduling, it becomes a lot people think we're only working a couple hours a week it's a lot it's there's a lot more to it that you don't see exactly not complaining but that's what it is yeah and that was basically it where i was like i also just really wanted to focus on stand-up and i had this i had the special just come out and i was like you know i thought i was gonna just like kind of take a little break special was out retool do all this shit and then i stopped doing come town and then my shit blew up and I was like, wait, I can't.

53:25The break is never happening. I've just been on the road for two years since. Like, I still, I have to take, like, after, that's why I'm filming this special. It's a little early, but I was like, I need the summer off because I'm going to fucking die. Like, if you work this long, you will die. So, yeah. And I just kind of, like, really went crazy on stand-up. And then just after a while, I was like, I guess I should just do a podcast. I'm good at it. So I just started Stavi's World. And I just do it on my own, you know. I do it in my own extra bedroom. There it is. We just had Bert on. Yep. Rachel Feinstein, Martin Norman.

53:59Had some good blokes on there. Monroe Martin. Yeah. Monroe's awesome. Yeah, Monroe is awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's something about him. He's one of the people you get around him, and you just kind of feel good. Great hang. Great hang. Great stories about his deadbeat father on the podcast. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. Is that Ryan Sickler? No. Yeah, Sickler. It is? Yeah, he just had a new special come out. Yep. Just put him on there. What's his special that just came out? Lefty's Son. Yeah, Lefty's Son. Also from Baltimore. That's my dude. Yeah, yeah. He came on. He just did the podcast, and we just were naming neighborhoods in Baltimore for like 40 minutes.

54:37It's like, you know, he really did live in every white trash part of Baltimore. Oh, dude. Every time I'm around Ryan, there's a part of him that reminds me of a part of me that just never left the neighborhood. Yeah, dude. Like, you could have, dude, you could have, you know, you could have a big old spatula and you'll never fucking pry that part out of the neighborhood. It can't leave, bro. Absolutely. Like, part of me is still over there. Absolutely, dude. Cooking wieners over, like, somebody's made, like, a fire where they're burning, like, stuff that's flammable that's bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

59:41And it's just like, this guy, Kings and Generals, that guy fucking rules. It's just some guy with a British accent with like shitty cartoons. They're not even fully animated. It's like, you know, picture. And he's just describing war that happened. I'll watch Maury clips, dude. I love watching full episodes of Paternity Maury where they're talking about, you know, when the lie detector tests come out. It's fucking, there's just so much good shit on YouTube. where you're like, yeah, I'm good. I'll watch this. I'll watch bootleg episodes of shit. It's awesome. Yeah, I love how here's what you can get to anything immediately from anything else.

1:00:16Anything that pops in your imagination, you can get something about it immediately. Yeah. It's the best algorithm, too. It's the one where you're like, oh, I am interested in this. Right. Whereas other shit, you'll watch on Instagram or whatever, their For You page. You're semi there. But when you watch them on YouTube and they're like, hmm, I'm in. The next thing they suggest is like, yeah, I'm in there. Although I will give TikTok some credit. I had to get off because their algorithm was so good that it was like, it was truly for me, it was literally like sandwiches and girls with huge tits.

1:00:50And it's like, man, you figured me out. You know what I mean? And then it started getting worse because it actually got deeper into like, then it started showing you like a hot woman with like a baby. and it was almost like this like you're 34 you should have this should be your life like they really were getting into your psyche and then it went from like they get you with like the base shit of like food and sexy girls oh yeah and then it's like becomes like wholesome content where it's like oh don't you want a family and then it's like now you're following these babies and you're watching these like celebrity babies grow up instead of your own family yeah it's like Like, flight's fucked up, dude.

1:01:28I was, like, invested. And you're, like, following some, like, yeah. No, I was super invested in, like, a Korean family. Like, they had, like, a food blog where they would, like, feed their one-year-old, like, you know, dumplings. And he'd be, like, and I'd be, like, hell yeah, dude. That's awesome. I was just, like, happy. Just purely happy. And then I'm, like, this is so fucked up. Like, they found a way to, like, get into even your biological urges of, like, having a family. They've hacked us. They fully hacked us, bro. Well, that's one of the issues these days, man. I feel like people are, we are fully hacked, man.

1:02:01Yeah. We are fully hacked. And if you look at, like there's that new chat GPT or whatever that came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've gotten like, some people have sent me stuff like, hey, man, look at this comedy set of yours that we had chat GPT do, right? Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, this is trash. Yeah, it sucks. It just sounds like you put anybody, if you say like from Louisiana or from a southern state, it just sounded, it felt really cheap to me. Yeah. so I wonder how like advanced they can get that you know yeah I mean it's true they I do think and maybe it's just us thinking like oh come on you can't the one thing you can't figure out is comedy but what they do with all the AI the the art stuff is they just steal from artists right so like uh that's a good point so they will what they'll do is just steal jokes and like just put it in another like I even saw like uh Will Sasso did something really funny he has like a he has his podcast is run by an AI and he did like a Tom Brady Tom Brady because you know Tom Brady said he just sent me that yeah he said he sent to me too and I looked at it and I was like this is gonna be fucking stupid and it was like it was like they didn't have the pausing of stand-up comedy right but they were real jokes right and but then you hear that and you're like I've I've heard these before right and it's like clearly what the AI did was steal maybe even shitty comedians probably what they did was go to youtube or wherever and stole like fucking open mic level comics or like mid-tier comics or like you know starting out comics and just stole the rhythm and shit of jokes and put it in there some of the jokes were legitimately funny they might have stolen stuff from you know anybody so i think that's what that's what that's why the shit is so unethical it's like not only is it are they you know learning shit that's scary that computers can do but they're just stealing art from people they're just stealing techniques from people it's just like an amalgam of shit from people that from real people that worked very hard to do it right but they're gonna be probably jokes that are very like pattern-based i feel like you can have like a lot of writers like joke writer style sure i think a you a performer may be able to yeah then even rise up like still have some antiquity to them i'm not sure but you're going to have to have a powerful level of uniquity if somebody can just I love uniquity yeah and that's not a racial slur either it's not a racial slur it's not a girl that works at the post office it's neither of those things was uniquity the girl that tried to fuck you at McGoobie's was there a uniquity in her husband Kyle

1:04:39dude actually now that you say it you're right there's something to performance but it's even funny because it's like well if we're talking about a robot that learns jokes it's like is Mark Norman the first comedy AI like is Mark the first like that literally like I feel like that's what that motherfucker is he's so good he just feed a joke in and it's like bam bam everything is just like he's incredible yeah yeah being around he's a guy that I miss not being able to be around a lot of times oh yeah he's awesome yeah just so awesome about him yeah yeah great hang but yeah I just I'm wondering like like they just said this how influential this stuff is getting.

1:05:14Will you bring that up? They had a guy who killed, who took his own life. He was having a relationship with a chat GPT bot, I think. Oh, no. And he was texting, and the woman at some point was like, look, it's, you're not. I'm not real. You're not doing life right or something. You got to check out. Man ends his life after an AI chat bot encouraged him to sacrifice himself to stop climate change. wow euronews.next huh what a source dot next the fuck is that now here's the crazy part a belt let's zoom in a little please yeah a belgian man reportedly ended his life following a six-week-long conversation about the climate crisis with an artificial intelligence chat that's awesome so what do they mean according to his widow Oh, he had a wife?

1:06:12According to his widow, Pierre, not the man's real name, became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai. Chai. Now, here's what's interesting now. Here's what I think is happening. Hit me with it. I believe that most of everything you see in the world today is advertising, right? It's a lot of advertising, and then they bait you for stuff that's going to come out later. I bet this is a fake article. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's, sorry, Euronews.next. Which sounds real. .next sounds real to you? To me it does. But if it were like.last or whatever. Oh, you're out.

1:06:52Okay. But yeah, you got Euronews.next doing it. It sounds like they, I feel like, are dialed in, but here's what's going to happen. Yeah. They're going to say, like, they're going to write this. They're going to see how much publicity an article gets. Then they're going to, someone in Hollywood, because the media and Hollywood, they're all in simpatico, is going to write a script about it, and then they're going to make it like it's based on real life story. And then it becomes, so they test articles on the public to see what gains enough traction. And then after that, they'll write a script, and then a year from now it comes out a movie.

1:07:26Don't you remember? Don't you remember when we all start our day with euronews.next? Don't you remember that day you woke up, had your coffee, We logged on to Euronews.next and saw the story about Pierre and the Chai and Eliza the Chai bot. Oh, yeah. Why, yes, I do. But I will – I mean, isn't that the movie Her without the like – isn't that without the like – They're trying to – yeah, it sounds like they're just trying to put a spin on Her. So I'm sure there'll be a copyright issue on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? So now we have a copyright issue on fake – Wow. On something that's completely fake.

1:08:05We don't even know that an AI didn't make that story up. I wouldn't be shocked. To keep us off the trail. That'd be the first story an AI would make up. Yeah, how cool they are. They got some fucking French loser to kill himself. Bye-bye. I cannot do it no more. The polar bears, they are drowning. I am going to drown the oven and put my head inside of it. I cannot do it anymore. I mean, what does his wife have to, if this is real, imagine being this guy's wife and being like, damn, dude, you didn't even like cheat on me. Yeah. The Mona Lisa is moaning even louder because it's so fucking hot. It is good.

1:08:52Please give me pussy, Mr. Robot. I will kill myself if I get a little robot pussy. Oh, I have soccer blue balls. Dude, how many How soon until we're begging robots For cooter Soon And you know they got I mean, dude, they're gonna They're not gonna have good cooter, do you think? I think they might, bro Have you seen those, like, Chinese dick-sucking machines? Dude, if I saw I looked up at the girl that had two IUDs in it It was a nightmare That's too many IUDs, bro I know, but can you imagine? It's gotta feel hella IUD-ish if you're a bot. I don't think so, dude. You don't think? I think they will figure out a way to warm it up.

1:09:41Real lube. Like, truly, if you pull up... Like using your next dial to set to your... Yeah, to your nest. Before you get home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get this robot pussy a little warmer. Yeah. You'll be able to adjust tightness, temperature. Dude, I'm telling you, they're going to figure it out. It's going to feel so sad, though. Yeah, for sure. Because here's the saddest part. You have to take it back and set it somewhere. You have to close its eyes with your fingers. This is like, we're talking about. Look at this. Here's a picture of a man with it right here. No, I'm not interested in that.

1:10:13But remember that, you ever see the movie Ex Machina? It's good. It is. But basically, the robots are like people. Mm-hmm. And like, when they get to that level of robot, where you can like walk around a little bit, and it's not a, it's a semi-sentient being that's trained to like give top. No. That would be awesome. Bro, you just said it, right? Walk around a little bit. So basically it's going to be like you're chasing somebody that's like injured, right? Yeah. It's like one of those dogs. Those dog robots. Yeah. It takes one step every 10 seconds. Hold on. How about this? The Boston Dynamics robots?

1:10:50They're doing flips and shit? What if they use that technology to suck dick? You're not going to be able to afford that. I don't know, dude. You're not going to be able to afford a Boston Dynamics hooker, dude? Dude. But not yet. but when not on the cutting edge but when it gets to like mass production. It's gonna be a bootleg Dyson. You can already pretty much fuck a Dyson. Yeah but it'll have two speeds man. Regular and wood floor.

Once he gets done with that Flintstone push pop, it's ready to go. Yeah, you're right. I hope they fuck robots up if they come through the hood. I hate those things. I mean, that shit sucks. Well, I just don't like it because here's what I – it's like – Like, it's got a fucking gun, dude.

1:14:24Come on. Yeah. They're going to use that to execute people. And look, they're trying to make it dizzy and see if it can still shoot a target. Of course it's not dizzy. It's a fucking robot. I hate this shit, dude. This shit sucks. Whoever invented this should be fucking executed, honestly. But here's what's interesting. Yeah. Oh, that sucks. How does a robot get the ability to do, like, say it shows up on a crime scene, right? Yeah. Are people just going to be like, don't shoot me. I'm one of you. Yeah. I'm not a robot. Yeah. I'm not. I don't. I'm made of metal, too, actually. Dude, this just sucks.

1:15:03I hate this. Yeah, I can't believe that guy. Yeah, I think that article's fake, though. I think there's a lot of fake articles that we don't realize that are leading to other things. Yeah, probably. Especially these days, because... It's all about clicks. You just want to farm clicks. Well, you can get as much traction from something fake if people dig it. I've fallen for fake stuff before you share something. You're like, look at this. And people were like, that was debunked nine years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, whatever, good night. I take back what I said about the Jews. You're like, whatever, good night.

1:15:37Just the not even acknowledging that you fell for it. Whatever, dude. Could happen to anybody. So do you think of yourself as like, you talk about your weight a lot, right? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Are you fat or are you just Greek? I'm both. That's what I don't know. I'm both. Oh, you're both. I'm both. Okay. I have a dual identity. Is every Greek person... Fat as shit? I don't want to say that. Is every Greek person... Are they larger? Clump. I feel like if I've seen a Greek person, it seems like a romantic version of you. Yeah, yeah. I definitely hit a lot of my heart types. Is that offensive, man?

1:16:18I'm not trying to be offensive. No, dude. Not at all, dude. I don't give a fuck Some people are very Like if you go to Africa Right Yes They don't really have The fat guy No No I don't think so Like if you Well they have Apparently there's like One Like I saw As a fat man You read about Places where You know Fat people are respected Oh they And there is one tribe Where The fat guy gets all the pussy Cause it's like And they're hilarious looking too They got these huge Fucking bellies dude Wow And they're not even that fat the rest of their bodies, it's fucking awesome. For whatever reason, that beauty standard there is like...

1:16:54That's it. Yeah. That first nipple. Dude, that guy would have an awesome third titty, dude. What else is going on, dude? What else are we... Yeah, I feel like... Do you think... When you think about... So you've gotten to see having some success in like, you know, just... With your stand-up, right? And people coming to see you, which really is... It's rocks. It rocks. It's every comedian's dream. It's the whole reason you started doing it. I mean, it's funny because we all have become podcasters by accident because it just happens to be people. And it's a cool way to deal with your friends, stay in people's lives once a week, whatever.

1:17:35But it's like, I don't know about you, but I just wanted to do stand-up. When I was 19, I just started doing open mics because I loved it. And it's like, all this other shit is cool, but it's like, that's the thing where I'm like, yeah this fucking rules like that hour you're on stage is the whole reason you do it and these theaters are fucking insane like i can't like i was talking about when burt was on my podcast but it's like oh you understand why comedians start thinking they're smart and geniuses because when you're in a theater and people like you're like oh i should be listened to yeah i'm a i'm a god yeah and it's like you have to remember that no these people are all they are also just as dumb as you we're all friends here we're all dumb friends we're not you know not we're entertaining we're not smart that's what i try and remember remind myself is that like i'm just trying to you know yeah and that's the fun thing is you're just having an awesome time with a thousand people or whatever the fuck 500 whatever whatever whatever room you're in oh yeah and it's the best it really is it's the whole you know it's the reason you do anything you know you did any like stand up to start for me anyway so these shows have been fucking out of control that's This is amazing, dude.

1:18:42Yeah, it's... Congratulations, man. Thanks, man. No, I appreciate it. It's really, really cool. It's fucking wild. You very much deserve it, man. You're very... I mean, you're a really funny guy. Even making me laugh so much today, you're enjoyable to be around. And also, like, it's interesting what you said about the ego thing, right? I was just thinking about this the other day, like my own ego, you know? And how it starts to fuck with you. For sure. Because you're like, oh I'm good I'm cool yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm a fucking man you know how scary that's such a scary because you know yeah if you really like making people laugh and stuff that's kind of the antithesis of being connected you can't be the cool guy absolutely it's like and I mean I think you've done a great job because like dude your shit is out of control like oh I mean it's awesome it's like truly there's like people I look at in the business I'm like yeah I'm trying to get to those places and like your shows are wild the podcast is so successful but you've done a great job of staying like grounded into who you are thanks man something it's hard it's and it's in a and it falters like there's spaces you know like in my personal life where it's like i really got to i can feel it when i'm starting to get like things got busier recently with like with tiktok really kind of took off and and that was scary for me because with instagram things like were doing fine but you kind of were putting your own stuff out yeah tiktok there's no real like like tagging or infringing societal rules about it right it's anarchy it is anarchy yeah so suddenly there's like tons of people seeing you but you didn't put this stuff out there you didn't even pick what clips are going out right so that's really it feels like um i get that too because i'm grateful it's interesting but at the same time i'm like it's out of your control so that something having something out of your control is fucking kind of scary especially when the nicest And I think stand-up attracts people like that where it's like you want total control.

1:20:40It's like we're not a team. You know what I mean? You go by yourself. Even like your own podcast. It's like clearly that means something to you. And I'm the same way. I like to be in control of what goes out there. But, yeah, it can be fucking crazy. Because, yeah, your shit definitely spread in a way that's like awesome because it's like next level. It's like what you're talking about is like kind of getting into the culture in an organic way. Yeah. And that's cool, but that's like a crazy scary level of like being like well-known, which I get why that sucks. Because like I think about it now where I'm like, I don't want to be like even being this like whatever famous.

1:21:17And I don't know that I'm famous. I just think that like no one looks like me. So if you're even vaguely familiar with me, you'll be like, hey, it's not some other guy with that hair that's that fat dressed like that. You know what I mean? It's like Dom DeLuise. But that's a crazy thing A lot of older people think Celebrities never age And they're like Are you Dom DeLuise? Pull up Dom DeLuise I love Dom DeLuise He's the man dude He's my guy Is that Dom DeLuise Yeah hell yeah dude He looks awesome He's not as fat in that picture Just in the white hat I shouldn't have picked him

1:22:08I'm sorry dude Nah it's whatever man It's actually all good It's just like an advanced way Of just calling someone fat I feel like He is my guy though He is my guy Don't worry about it But yeah anyway You have a unique look man You're like a Magnum P.I.E I love that That's a good one dude I've never heard that one though That's good That's horrible man I'm sorry That's alright You got it out of your system You got any more You got any more you want to do Before we move on They have the N word in them So I'm keeping those I'm holding those Hold on to those dude Yeah Not everything's for them dude Some's for you too

1:22:52Man you guys are racist Yeah dude it's crazy Yeah I can see that being fucking Some black guy the other day, I was somewhere, and he yells, right? It was at a mall. I was in Los Angeles at the Westfield Mall, and he keeps yelling, man, you're my. And he kept yelling. He's coming across the mall. Dude, he said it so many times, dude. I was like, bro, I'm the. Yeah, in this interaction, we're averaging so many N-words between us, even though he's the one doing all of them. By the time he got there, I was like, oh, my. I felt like he'd said it so much that I had said it. Yeah, exactly, dude. you were involved in like a 20 n-word exchange you know like between the two of you yeah yeah yeah he had like a uh like an nr 16 or something he was just firing in and he kept getting close to me i'm like oh my god yeah yeah if this n-word yellow lands on me yeah yeah yeah absolutely people walked up and people then white people like Yeah, white people were looking at me like I had said it.

1:24:00Yeah. Go, you piece of shit. Come on. He's my friend. Yeah. I'm better than you. Yeah. That's what you should have said. When's the last time somebody called you the N-word? That's what you should have yelled at the white people. Yeah, then get your shit together. Yeah, yeah. Get your fucking game up. You're not a true ally unless you've been called the N-word recently. And I actually kind of believe that, too. Oh, man. You want to be. You want to have friends. You need friends that will call you that. That's true. That's what I remember. I think when I was growing up about the closest thing about it, there was enough of that where I got called it enough where it was like, okay, I'm around.

1:24:34I'm at least in the culture. I can say it now. I'm in the culture. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can't, yeah. It's like, you can't say it. Yeah. Yeah. You can, you can think it. Bro, you can't say it. You can think it was sound, but you can't say it. Oh,

1:24:54fuck. Would you do television though when you think about that? Or is that even part of your world? Do you even think about that kind of stuff? I think because I love comedy, so it's like I like getting laughs in every way. And I do love – like truly, stand-up is my first love. I'll never stop doing it, right? Even when I'm not good at it anymore, it's like I'll do it for me. Even when I moved to New York, I was like if this doesn't work, I will be one of those guys that runs a monthly show in his hometown, like just opens at the club. I would never stop doing it. But you also, I don't know if you feel this way Like you can't really talk about Certain complex things in stand-up Because at least if you're good at it You gotta get a laugh every fucking 15 seconds Right?

1:25:38Like 20 seconds, 30 seconds Or you feel like you have to Yeah, at least I feel like I have to The way I, what I like about stand-up Because I don't like when it gets too like preachy Or pontificate-y or any of that shit So like that's why I'm interested in like Movies and TV Because it's like you get to be funny in different ways like you know we all have like shows we love and like movies we love that were so important to us and it's like yeah the way I wanted to do stand-up because I like stand-up it's like I want to be funny because I fucking love eastbound and down you know what I mean I want to do my version of fucking Kenny Powell that would be fucking awesome you know what I mean like being like just getting just being able to like tell a story and like do different shit and shit that your stand-up is even like touched on but you can do be a little deeper with it if you write, you know.

1:26:24Right, you can put something into it. You write a movie, you write a show. Put something behind it. Yeah. They just had a, who was that? They had that, he had me thinking of, he's bound and down, he's bound and down syndrome. They just busted a guy. He's bound and down syndrome would be an awesome show, too. It would be. Kenny Powers, just developmentally disabled. Well, they just busted a guy. You see this? Alleged gang member with down syndrome. And decided on separate Chicago murders. Wow. That's got a honest like let's zoom in oh Damn see this is the kind of thing and a smush they called them smush.

1:27:00Oh, that's kind of rude Let's zoom in a little Can you close out of the video do you mind just so we can get a little clarity here

1:27:13Nicholas Smush Samudio was indicted on felony murder charges in the February 16th fatal road rage shooting of Humberto Maran Garcia. Damn, they let him drive? And the February 26th slaying of Tomas Villa. Damn, so he's also keeping it in the community. He reportedly killed a man in front of his pregnant wife. Damn, dude. Well, he might have thought he just had a really big meal. I don't know if he knows about pregnancy. Look at that top tit on her. Is he fully downed out, though, or is he just kind of a little something's wrong with him? Yeah, let's see. Do they say how much he has? Do they have a percentage?

1:27:55They covered a.380 caliber handgun with police belief Samudio may have thrown out the window during the pursuit. Is that real? Go up, go up. All the way up at the very beginning. Just see how they describe him. Yeah. An alleged gang member with Down syndrome. Wow. A member of the Latin Kings. I mean, what is going on? Oh, wait, wait, wait. Samudio who has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder according to his public defender so this might be his lawyer trying to get him out on trying to play the R card you know what I'm saying? like the Uno reverse card he's like let's touch and go yeah right you know like you let him right right he's like what's your guy doing you know I mean he would look I don't know much about I'm not an expert but he's driving around you know what I mean?

1:28:44I had an Uber driver that was down syndrome one time and he would talk to his mother, would tell him everything to do. She was in the speaker? She was on a call with him, yeah. No. Swear. Really? She told him everything to do, and I was in there, and I was like, this is just. What was his rating like? God working, or, you know, I'm just sitting here. I'm just. Yeah. God's just using me today to be a passenger in this guy's car, and I'm going to bear with it. But that Down syndrome was close, man. They thought I had it when I was a kid, man. Really? Oh, yeah. For real? Oh, I remember the doctor telling my mother, you know, She wrote it in my baby book.

1:29:19When you were like a baby baby. Did they have baby books when you were a kid? Yeah. And your mom would keep them? Yep. What was your mom like? Was she cool? She's the best, dude. Yeah, my mom's the best. Really? Are Greek moms good? What are they like? Yeah, truly like my mom is like the, like think about like a classic Eastern European like mother, like just like. Like by the well? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If we had a well, she would have been out there making sure I had water, dude. Like Streganona kind of? Yeah, yeah. Streganona vibes. She has 100%, dude. My mom was just like, you know, all we, like, you come over to my house, you're not leaving without having a dessert.

1:29:53You know what I mean? I don't want that. Just, like, packed a nice lunch. Like, just so, I mean, there is a part of me that's, like, the reason my life is the way it is is my best, truly my most cherished childhood memories, my mom was a waitress at a Greek restaurant, and Saturdays she would, like, come home, like, half the time with, like, leftovers, right? Like calamari, lamb chops, whatever. I'm like a little fat kid. Bakalava. Yeah, baklava, sure. Baklava. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And actually they had galactobureko, which is like this cream custard dessert. Galactobureko? Galactobureko, yeah. Galactobureko.

1:30:29It's pretty good, actually. Honestly, you're close. Thank you. Next time you're in New York, we'll get some galactobureko. Yeah, it's awesome. But she would come home, and I would stay up watching SNL, and it's like the Farley Sandler era that we're talking about. and so it would be like that's kind of where I started loving comedy was like and it kind of married my my loves of like comedy fried foods and like the love of a woman and it's like now if I think about it that's what my weekends are except I do the comedy I get the fried foods and I try and just like fuck some lady to like you know fill the hole in my heart you know what I I mean and it's like in some ways I'm like damn my mom was so like I loved and waited for my mom so much that like fully like the whole course of my life just because I wanted to see my mom like waiting for her to get home waiting for her to get home with some food and I was like watching comedy until she got home and it's like sometimes I think like that's how little control we have over shit like that's your Bermuda Triangle kind of you'll always be in there no matter what yeah yeah That's really where I am, dude.

1:31:37All the biggest things that have controlled my life, that's it, dude. Truly food addiction is my... I'll do a bunch of drugs. I can truly quit them whenever. Food is so fucking hard for me. Well, yeah, and you have to have food, too. Yes. That's the trick about it. If I had to have a little bit of Coke... Yeah, dude, imagine. Imagine you have to do a bump every eight hours. Yeah. Say if every day they gave you a Coke break from 12 to 1. and I had to have it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, dude, that was funny. Yeah, there's like a kiosk at the mall with some girl with big tits with just lines you can do off them when you really want to treat yourself.

1:32:14You know what I mean? There's like hibachi cocaine, just some guy cutting lines with his thing, popping fucking crack rocks in your mouth. You'd be fucked, dude. Yeah, yeah. I know, it's the worst one, but yeah, my mom was truly like so supportive, and I don't know, I also feel like the recipe for like an artist too is like you have to really half hate yourself and half think you're the man and it's like my mom is the half that's like she thought I was like a gene like she's that kind of mom she's like oh he's gonna she thought I was gonna be like the kid that goes to Harvard at 12 you know what I mean just because I like like she believed in me so much oh she does right to the moon my son truly like when I was gonna do stand-up she wasn't supportive because she thought I was like robbing the world of intellect right like true that's how much she loved me and believed so she loved you but she had all her gauge on you was a little off yeah well because she would take i was a good student yeah um i just tested i'm just joking man no no no no no no no she was off don't get me wrong oh yeah she fully but she had utmost but she thought by stand up your limit you're cutting yourself short exactly it took her a crumb of proof she turned like a crumb of me being kind of smart into being like oh he's a generational mind that we have to like you know that's gonna like solve world hunger yeah um but then then my dad was the other side where it's like you know my dad just like it was not really around you know he was he was around but not you know didn't really get the like didn't believe in you was always kind of warning was more like a punitive figure where it's like hey you better fucking be smart you'll end up like me with my shit life just telling you how much he hated his life it's like oh cool i'm actually aren't i the the part like most of your life didn't you make all your decisions to raise me and now me and my brothers and now you're saying you hate your life and threaten to kill yourself every six months so then you learn like oh i guess by some math you hate us and we're the reason you want to kill yourself deduce that of course as a kid as a kid you absolutely deduce it oh yeah no don't show him actually.

1:34:22Is that actually him? It's actually him, yeah. We'll keep him out. Yeah, keep him out. Yeah, your dad's like, I'm going to jump off a building and then into some woman's cooter. Yeah, he did that. Some lady's like, I'll catch him. Him and that lady would have gotten along famously. Is it hard being a Greek man? Is there a lot of perils overall of being a Greek man? I don't, I mean, that definitely is the stereotype of like, you know, I mean, everyone I grew up around, they all either were alcoholics or cheated on their wives you know what i mean there was no there was no like good role greek role model which was really funny because i met well they took them all to a long time ago yeah how are you going to compete with socrates how are you going to compete with uh zeus yeah yeah you know he cheated though he was that was his thing was cheating right and he was even our god was cheating like that's their religion was like getting side pussy it was like ancient greek wisdom but no there's no there's no like it's not hard it's like again I kind of go back to it it's kind of cool being Greek because it's like it's very unique you get to be white you know what I mean like and all the things that matter like cops see me I get if there's any value in that yeah I'm not saying I'm a believer in that but you get to seem white yeah yeah yeah you get to seem white in all the ways yeah you're like olive Jews yeah yes in many ways You're like grape leaf Jews.

1:35:46Grape leaf, yeah. I've heard people say like Greeks are like Jews that aren't good with money. You know, there's a little bit of that for sure. Front house Jews. Yeah, absolutely. But no, I kind of rock. I mean, honestly, I like it because you get to just be different enough. And I'm trying to also stay connected to that shit too because it's hard. In America, it's like you see different like cultures. That shit disappears in a couple generations. So fast here. So fast. Like, especially if you're just like a white ethnicity, it's like in two generations, it's like you just have like, you know, my kid might like.

1:36:20So I think about that now because like I'm 34. It's like I'm getting there where it's like I'm a full. There's no more like, oh, when I grow up, it's like I'm a fucking grown man, you know. But like especially when you do stand up, you can convince yourself like you're still young. It's like, you know. Oh, it happens. Yeah. We're knocking on the door. So I'm starting to think about that shit. So but it's cool. I get to go to Greece. I visit my family over there I still speak Greek I want to like you know Wow Yeah So it's like My goal would be to spend Three months a year In Greece And just like Fucking chill out dude You know Speak the language Eat some fucking calamari Oh yeah You know And do they Do Greek women like you Are you a Greek woman kind of Do you like Greek women I never Again Part of like getting older I'm like I find myself Attracted like Greek and being like, it would actually be cool to be with a Greek woman just because we share that culture and the language, all that kind of shit.

1:37:21I've never dated a Greek girl. I'm attracted to features that I think Greek girl, like I like curly hair. I like tan. I like a big nose. You know what I mean? I'm in. Yeah. She's not curling iron. Yeah. Let's get you a perm, bro, and I'm in there. Damn, dude. dude um but i've never been with i've never dated a greek girl wow yeah maybe god's saving that for you for the end that would be nice you know that would be nice you could be like you're the first greek girl i ever dated yeah do you think that you could fall in love do you think it's hard for a comedian to fall in love yeah i think so i mean i don't know how you feel but it's like like it's cool to like get to travel and like fuck a bunch of strangers you know like that part is nice, but at a certain point...

1:38:06First of all, you sound like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, fucking... You also sound like the Golden State Rapist. It's cool state to state, no trail of evidence behind me. By the time the cops know what's up, I'm fucking gone. That part's cool. By the time they file a police report, I'm in Ottawa. I'm across state lines. I'm across the border. Jump in my border.

1:38:36sorry go on but yeah I feel like I'm tired of that like you do start to get a little tired of like even when you get the fuck and like girls that are much too hot for you which you know I mean it's like it's cool I've gotten I've gotten to experience some pretty cool stuff but you know but after a certain point you're like oh it would be nice to just have someone you care about and like put effort into that relationship instead of like just right just throwing a ball against a wall all the time exactly exactly it'd be nice to throw it to somebody and they catch it exactly yeah yeah yeah it is a lot of like playing catch with like no father right emotionally i feel like with that robot yeah exactly exactly it's a robot um so i think i'm gonna but it is hard on this schedule i don't think i could have dated someone it's hard it's hard when you're like yeah weekend and your brain read your brain's like i forgot about that you I come home, I forget it.

1:39:32Because I don't think your brain, a human brain, isn't supposed to be different places in different days like that. We're not even supposed to be flying this much. And they should say that when you get on. This is an affront to God. And if we make it, we're on borrowed time. You're one step closer to death the next one. That's what they should say at the beginning of every flight. if we make it we have deceived God and he's a vengeful God and he will get us eventually I love when turbulence happens and people are shocked what? we're flying isn't it crazy there's not turbulence constantly we're in the fucking sky going so fucking fast there's more turbulence on like a street in New Orleans right?

1:40:22on a side street in New Orleans there's 7 ,000 times the turbulence. And you're just like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's more dangerous to fucking drive a car statistically. That's what they say, but the airlines made that up. That's a good point. They obviously made that article. Yeah, dude. They were on Euronews.next talking about, it's much safer in the sky. You should ride a helicopter to work. Yeah.

1:40:55um what was it whenever you was going to school do you remember like your first girlfriend growing up um dude i was so i was so like shy when it came to like because i was i had this big outsized personality and that like i i never got nervous in any social situation and then except girls same so it was like this weird thing where it's like everyone loved me and everyone assumed i like Like I could talk girls into whatever. But it's like because that was nerve wracking, it was the only time I ever experienced anxiety, like social anxiety. So it made it impossible. So like I didn't have like a girlfriend.

1:41:34Like I hooked up with a couple girls in high school, but I didn't get pussy. Like I didn't fuck till college. And it wasn't until like I like put in the time and like felt comfortable with somebody and that I could like say my feelings. I was so scared of just like, I don't know, ridicule or I don't know what it was. so in high school I had like one one girl one girlfriend who just who I like I touched her breast like twice and she might have fucked like six guys like in that time frame you know what I mean she was like it was one of those where she would call me yeah she'd like hurry up and touch my tits so I can go fuck these guys yeah get me warmed up it was one of those things where she would call me and like we'd talk on the phone and it was one of those relationships and she lived in a different part of town and it was like you know before I even had a driver's I had my permit.

1:42:20And then it was like, I got my license. I went to a couple parties that she was at. We made out a couple times. And then she called me. She was like, hey, I accidentally got fingered last night. And I'm like, oh, okay. Well, don't let it happen again. And then she called me like three more. She got accidentally fingered like three more times. And then I was like, you know what? I don't know that this is going to work out. Like I broke up with her. She clearly was like, wasn't even dating me. Effectively, we weren't dating. I would like call her but she would fuck other guys and she didn't even touch my dick I touched her tits like two or three times it sounds like you have a resentment I have a real resentment towards her still to this day resentment is a big problem I have for sure is it really?

1:43:00yeah yeah I don't like I have a hard time letting things go I'm a grudge keeper is that a Greek characteristic? I think it is wow I think it and like definitely there's anger problems in my family like that runs in my family something I'm working on like I'm in therapy for anger specifically? uh anger is one of the big ones yeah for sure anger i mean my dad had an anger problem that we all just kind of inherited and like uh anger and then guilt also are like my big ones yeah immigrant shit guilt is huge dude because it's like your parents like well i came to this fucking country so you would have a better life that like my dad would drop that he's like i hate it here i want to be in greece you know meanwhile the fuck his life would have been dog shit in greece but Right My dad was crazy My dad grew up in Nicaragua And he was like 12 or something And they had kids eating dirt He said in his village God damn dude They'd have kids with like Distended bellies Oh just worms in their bellies Yeah he said from just eating dirt And stuff But then he'd be like Go get me some mayonnaise You know And that was it He never Like He never told me Like a lot of stuff You know I would just kind of Watch him from afar I guess Yeah Yeah Well that makes sense too Because it's like That's a different kind of immigrant Where it's like Where you're If you're leaving a place with like they're eating dirt like you want to be in america whereas like you know my dad like didn't want to be in america he claimed he didn't want to anyway right you know um but i think both of them sound like they weren't very does sound like your dad was very emotionally open didn't sound like there's a lot of sharing going on yeah i don't think so and i think you get older at a certain point you kind of lose the space it's almost like you almost have to share your emotions in a certain time period it feels like because i feel like sometimes maybe i wonder if i wonder if you lose an emotional connection like sensibility once you get past a certain age i never thought about i never really heard about that but that'd be interesting i bet you you relate to things differently yeah you know but i could also see it almost go in the opposite way where it's like the older you get you kind of like shed a little bit of that like who am i even pretend what am i pretending anymore you know i definitely feel myself getting a little more open and just more in touch with shit because I'm just like, I don't give a fuck.

1:45:07This is who I am. They'll fall away. Yeah, a little bit. Those I'm still holding on to. I still have a couple enemies. A couple people who every day I think about how much better my life is going than theirs and I'm like, awesome. I'm just like, that's awesome, dude. Fuck that guy. He fucked me and my shit is going so... I'm lapping him 10 ,000. I still indulge in just a little bit of that. Yeah, just something to get you through. Something to pick your teeth with. Yeah, yeah. But for the most part, I also think you realize what the problems are in your life, and you don't let those people in your life anymore.

1:45:46You're more aware of those people. You're aware of the patterns of the people you don't want to be around. And now everyone I'm around, I work with my best friends. I hired my best friends to be my best friend to be my producer. Oh, yeah, I met your friend. What's his name? Oh, Ben. Yeah. Ben, yeah, yeah. Ben's the man dude shout out to Benny Buttcheeks Ben O 'Brien Ben O 'Brien bring him up let's get a gander at him he has that train conductor vibe he does he loves overalls he loves overalls I love that dude Ben rocks Ben works with me there he is he was a part of an awesome comedy collective Wham City he went to art school did his own He kind of has that Boo Radley smarter brother vibe Yeah he's definitely Yes absolutely He's more in touch with his shit More emotional On his own little journey Just figuring his shit out Cause we all went to Paris Paris man That was fun That was a sick That was an awesome time Bro remember they put us in that plane dude The jet was insane God that thing was nice dude That was awesome I mean we had a great crew It was so nice Bro sometimes I remember I'll be in hotel rooms and it's like$400,$500 a night.

1:47:00Dude, I ain't even sleeping in that bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm staying awake. I'm getting my money's worth. Yeah, dude. Sitting on the couch. You got a suite, so you're just sitting on the couch even though you're tired. You're like, no, I'm sitting on this couch. Yeah. I was in a fucking Holiday Inn Express four years ago. I'm hanging out in the suite. I'm putting shit in the mini fridge. Even if I don't drink it. Yeah. I'm just getting this shit cold. Yeah, yeah. I'm putting my ID in there. So I pick it up in the morning. It's fucking freezing. I don't used to have mini fridge and fucking hotel money.

1:47:30Yeah, man. There's something about it. It's like, oh, I'm not sleeping. It's going to cost me$70. You're out of your fucking mind, huh? I'm going to walk around this half living room. I love the half living room. I've become such a fucking half living room like fucking diva, dude. I love that. I got to get the half living room. For what? I don't know, but I got to have it. You got it. It's like, dude, hotel room, it's like they give you half of every room. Yeah. One room. I know. I know. Dude. It's like the power rooms. It's like they all got together. We're like, this is a room. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:48:07You know? It's like, yeah. It's all the different ones. The last, what the fuck was that called? The last Mohicans, maybe? No, Zordon was their fucking leader. Oh, are you talking about? But I mean, what was it called when they got together? Are you talking about the Brooklyn Nets? Yeah. Kyrie Hardin Kyrie Hardin and Kevin Durant I'm thinking about the Brooklyn Nuts I'm not sure who have now since disbanded yeah dude they fall apart fast I know it's like Diddy's making the band that fucking thing remember how bad that band was they made the band was horrible but it was a good show yeah the show when he made him get cheesesteak your cheesesteaks he made him walk to Philly or whatever the fuck he made him do that was funny bro they didn't do he didn't teach him any music I know I know dude he basically got five brothers and sisters I know and made him walk six miles It was so fucked up.

1:48:53To get him a dessert. But at least we got - It was almost like a story out of the Bible. It really was. It felt more like a parable. Like, is this Egyptian? Like, what is this? In the future, that's what people will look back. Remember 700 years ago? Yeah. You know, when Bunny had to fucking walk. When you must go to Junior's for cheesecake. And what did we learn? And you must not be tempted by the evils of Dylon. You must be true to Diddy. No matter what the temptress Dylon says to you. At least we got the Chappelle Show skit, too. We got a couple nice cultural artifacts from that. But, yes, no good music.

1:49:28Yeah. Music was dog shit. Chopper, he was pretty good. Yeah, Chopper was good, man. He was out of New Orleans. I think he fell for the ladies too much, though. Of course. What else? What we got in the news, man? Let's get a couple little news topics. Let's get a little fucking... And you got your special, and it's out tomorrow. Tomorrow, yeah. Okay. Four Nights in New York. It's on my YouTube channel. And the Fat Rascal Tour. I'm coming all over the place. I'm going to Cleve. Like, just... I'm doing a bunch of fall dates. They're selling well It's big theaters So it's like I'm a little nervous But they're selling pretty good You know But it's one of those things Where when you do small shows And sell them out You feel good But when you have these like Big rooms And you're like Fuck I hope this just keeps selling At this nice pace Oh it's so scary It almost That almost became too scary for me It's one It becomes Okay I had a real problem with that Yeah And I still do sometimes It's like I'm afraid Yeah it's like The last There's something inside of me the last thing I want, man, this is crazy.

1:50:23I didn't really realize this is the, there's a huge fear that somebody is not going to show up for me. Yeah. Yeah. So, and it doesn't mean like actual people buy it. It's not, but it's like, goes back to like being a child. It's like, somebody's not going to be there. Oh dude. Absolutely. So if I put, if I, you put something out there, you're basically opening and saying, Hey, will you be here for me? And it's kind of different because it's a transactional thing and it's, but it's still the same like concept. No, I get it. You're putting yourself out there, especially when it's like one level, higher than you're used to and it's like you're when you're putting yourself when you're at risk right when you've made yourself vulnerable and then you're like oh i know i could have done this smaller place but it's like i hope all these people that it seems like are there are going to show up and then if they don't yeah it feels fucking horrible but things are going good so far yeah i can knock on wood oh man you're so funny they definitely will continue to go good I think I, yeah, I noticed even more on that topic that, yeah, I commit to my, like, work is my biggest relationship because it's, like, the safest, most controlled place to even be vulnerable, I think.

1:51:25Dude, I fully, I felt that happening where it was, like, which is a little scary, right? Because you're, like, you stop being a person and you just become, like, oh, yeah, I've just got to keep crushing this because this is going good. I can control this. I have full control over it. And you start like, like I started feeling like depressed when I had time off. But while I was in it, I was like, I can't wait for some time off. Need a couple of days off. I'm fucking run down. And then you get it and you're like, the fuck do I even do? You know what I mean? It's like you don't have the other. So I was like, and I felt, and then when I went back to work, even though it was like, like I had a month, I had like a stretch where I was on the road like seven weeks in a row.

1:52:09And the one week I had off, I had to do a different trip. And it was like just too much. but when it starts, you're like, at least I know what I have to do. There's no ambiguity. There's no thinking. If you're like me, there's no your own thoughts. You don't even have time to think because it's like I have to be on the road every weekend. I have to podcast at some point in between that, and then you have to do fucking YouTube videos, all this other shit, and it's like there is something freeing to not having to make a decision, but then at the same time, and there's something that feels awesome where it's all going good, right?

1:52:44You see the fucking numbers go up and the feeling of success. But that is a little, that can be a trap too. Because some of the shit you can't have control of. That's the scary thing. It's like, yeah, you got to kind of put yourself, you got to have that vulnerability with just the person or people in your life or like some other shit that's just not work. Yeah, I think when I was a kid, I take everything back to when I was a kid. I love just walking through my own haunted house Of course That's gone That's gone for good Your uncle almost blessed you are

1:53:25But yeah I think that Just Going back To like yeah Is somebody going to be there Am I going to be I think wanting to be seen too Why you even end up doing it you know yeah why do i need to go have people show me that they see me and i think comedy it's like show me you see me in a very real way it's like i need proof i need audible yeah i need to see it and i need to hear it right right and i need it every 15 seconds and i need it to be undeniable and that's one thing i think about if somebody's laughing it's kind of if they're genuinely laughing it's undeniable absolutely so it's like i need i don't trust things enough in the space that i'm in or in the like home space i'm in that i need undeniable proof that you see me absolutely yeah and it has to be almost from like a cellular level so that's why it has to be right involuntary laughter is the one like involuntary thing where it's like yeah you even if you're trying not to laugh you'll still laugh if it's fun if something hits you just right oh yeah it's just like a fee it's like feelings just farting right out of your skin yeah yeah yeah joy feelings.

1:54:37Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get into a little bit of news, man. You got a few more minutes? Yeah, dude. Fuck yeah. We've actually, Stavros does a advice line show, so we didn't know if you wanted to do a couple voicemails together. Oh, I would love that. Yeah, Stavros World, we do half the show as advice, so I'd love to help the fam out. All right, let's bring it up. So Stavros, you have on your show, you have? Yeah, Stavros World, we do half voicemails, so it's like we bring somebody on, and next time, you know, come anytime you want, come do the show for sure. This has been so much fun, man. Yeah, dude.

1:55:06for the first 45 minutes of the show, and then we do advice, and people just call in with all types of shit. Praise. Yeah, Stavisworld. We got two episodes a week, one free, one Patreon. Yeah, dude. Yeah, so I'd love to help some of the fucking... Let's see what we got here. Play it up, brother. Kind of like a callback to a classic that was on the show. We'd like to get, like, just Stavisworld's take on it. Okay. Okay.

1:56:00Hey, Theo. uh recently he's been trying to uh sexually assault me and you know i don't really care but it's more frightening for the other students and the thing is you know i know they can't help it and stuff but every time he does that he just has this look in his eyes this lustful evil look almost like he knows what he's doing and he knows that it's wrong. He'll be running around and he'll be, stop that, James. Stop it, James. Please stop. What's he doing? He'll be helicoptering in it. Helicopter in here? It's scary. And we're a little afraid for our safety. Okay, that's it. No way. This isn't fucking real.

1:56:54That sounds real to me. You don't think that that's real? This kid's pulling his cock out and flipping it around. What would you do if you pulled your cock out? I guess I would give it an up and down. I don't know if I'd full helicopter. Maybe that's a size issue. Maybe this autistic kid's got a nice fucking piece, and he's really letting it hang. I would go up and down just because the helicopter's not as impressive. When the circumference of the helicopter, when it's like a mini, when it's like a hummingbird. It's more of a drone. It's a drone.

1:57:28oh yeah i think oh i think the first thing you do if you've already exposed your penis you have to then and then you realize okay this is weird i don't know what to do now motion i think you have to spin your penis okay that's fair and this kid's doing it on a primal autistic level too he's just kind of connected it's like he's not thinking he's just pulling his very limbic system It's like very much if you are, you see this a lot on Nature Channel. Yeah. You know, where the monkey will kind of, or the. The way a monkey uses his penis, this kid probably uses his penis. Yeah, or a grasshopper or something that will.

1:58:03Okay. Or like one of those little like lizards or something. They'll clean off all the area around them and then they'll make their thing real big like this. They'll make their little like. Like a mating. Like a hat kind of. It's like a part of the back, just like a fake hat pops out behind their head. And it's like red and blue. Yeah, yeah. But I think everybody has their mating call. And so you think this kid's pulling his penis out is his mating call? I think, what else would he be? If you're autistic? I don't know. You still have very, that's the thing. I think everybody's got to worry. Everybody has primal needs, man.

1:58:40Yeah. It doesn't even matter. I would think, okay, so if he's really this horny, isn't his dick hard? And once your dick is hard, you're not really in the helicopter zone. I wonder if autism can get an erection. I don't know. Oh, I think they can. You think? Oh, yeah. I think they could probably get real nice ones because they're not up in their head. Like we said, it's limbic. Oh, yeah. I have some anxiety problems sometimes. My dick's not getting hard because I'm, you know, nervous. Yeah. This kid's not nervous, especially if his dick is out in math class. You know he's, like, overridden. Yeah.

1:59:11His dick has overridden his feeble autistic mind. Yeah. And just gotten hard. Like with, you know. This route is square. Yeah. I don't think, I think this guy's lying though. It's at least rectangle. It's just bricked up. This is a cylinder. What about, you think this guy's lying? I think so. Wow, it's funny. Yeah, I didn't think he was. I could feel a smile on his lips. I could hear the smile on his lips. Yeah, you could be right. I just feel like if a kid is pulling his dick out in special ed, first of all, there's no way it doesn't happen. Well, it happens in regular head. If somebody tells you you're special, you're definitely going to pull your dick out.

1:59:54I feel like it's the first thing I'm going to do. Okay, so maybe, though, but you're not, though. So maybe they've misdiagnosed him. Maybe this is a form of rebellion. Although he claims he's got an evil, lustful look in his eyes. And he says he's sexually assaulting him, which means he thinks the kid is trying to rape him? I think he said the kid has a look in his eyes and the kid is trying to be sexually deviant. But I believe that the kid is just trying to advance sexually. Now, how about this? Isn't this a perfect place for sex robots? Because you don't want to jack the kid off. That's molestation, right?

2:00:29Yeah. But if there is a, in fact, sex robots in high school special ed, that might be the place they're most needed. Just get them, you know what I mean, clear their brains. They're up against enough challenges learning how to read already. You don't want them hard, too. You should have to milk every special ed kid before you start a lesson. I've actually flipped completely on this. I think this is the natural way to deal with this. We need those Chinese dick-sucking machines that Jordan Peterson retweeted. I don't know if you saw that. Uh-uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think if you bring in robots just for a sec, yeah, I wonder.

2:01:09I don't know. I think you'd almost have to have a parent of a child like this. They would have to sign a permission slip. for sure. That's what I'm saying. You can't just, I think, send a robot in there or be like, hey, who's got 50 cents? You know, it's in the hole. Like a gumball machine? You put the, you turn it? Because they used to let us all out to get a candy every now and then. You're actually, you know what? That's true. The school nurse has to be the practitioner. I think you have to have someone there. Because they, it can't be, because if it was like. But then are you teaching an autistic kid?

2:01:42Sorry, I stepped on you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no please are you i don't know but is it pavlov's dog now are they going to get horny every time they're learning you fact you know you've taught them to evacuate their nuts before learning that's a good point that's yeah and then you might you might have to do the opposite you listen all day we let the robot suck your dick you know can't the robot just master it like that yeah yeah yeah i guess you're right it could jack i feel like if i have autism and you put your i just feel like the Sensory overload? Yes. Of a robot? Like, you know. Yeah, it would be more of a jacking off thing.

2:02:19And it wouldn't look like a woman. We want this to feel medical. Okay. We want it to just be a hole you put your special penis inside of, and it just drains you and gets you in the mind frame for learning. Docile. You know? Yeah, ready to learn? Ready to learn, dude. Honestly That's crazy brother Yeah I feel like I would learn I would have learned a lot better in high school If they like somebody jacked me off Right before You would have been You would have just gotten in line over and over and over Yeah that's true You would have missed every class Well that's why I have to be controlled You'd have had a book bag full of dried out semen

2:03:07I would hope they you would still be in school there I'm thinking I'm in community college I'm thinking continuing education you'd weigh 19 pounds you'd have no you'd have nothing left in your body that's true you're right let's see what other news we got it's not a perfect solution

2:03:33But yeah, that age, man That's tough Oh, it would be just It would be a lot, huh? I just remember specific lessons I probably missed Because I was thinking about Sex so much? Yeah, I had a hot teacher, you know what I mean? Thinking about getting a teacher Oh, yeah We had a lady when she would come over I would say, I don't know what this is, right? And she would come over And I would be so just caught up with the smell of her and even just her possible tits. And she had like nine layers of clothing. She had clothing from like the 1600s. She had all of that with the collar. A frilly collar. Oh, definitely.

2:04:07She had bra, over bra, under bra. Yeah, she had an underbite on her tits. She had everything you could have, right? As much as you could, you know? Yeah. And you could still feel her tits, her tit meat somehow. Just being closer to it. radiating through all that clothing. Oh, dude, believe me. I had one of my teachers in sixth grade. You just wanted to get in there. He had humongous fake titties. Oh, fake ones? Yeah. Oh, they didn't allow them at our school. I remember that. It was natural. You only had natural friends. You had to have big natties to teach. They did a silicone. They did a fucking, they put her through an MRI.

2:04:51Make sure there's no silicone in those titties. the principal's like okay checks out these feel good but back then they had the one you could tell if they were fake or not that's true back then that is true the technology's gotten really nice it looked like everyone looked like somebody had vacuum sealed a couple chicken cutlets a bocce ball yeah everyone I'm like jeez they were a little too heavy you could see exactly where the yeah they were so tight that's true I was like man this thing this lady to my knowledge Had pretty awesome tits To your knowledge Like you could She didn't wear She didn't have like Multiple layers She was putting them out there Like she Don't get me wrong You wouldn't see cleavage But it would be like One of those things Where it's like a Just a tight t-shirt Oh man She has big old titties Yeah this lady I wanted to drive Right through her tits With a small car A Geo Metro Drive a Geo Metro Through her tits Yeah Yeah And I would have Left the windows down And just oh yeah well another I remember speaking of just being in proximity of titties or hot girls or whatever dude my neck would turn red if I got around some tits I was like oh my fucking god I remember when I was in 5th grade I had to wear a scarf for like 3 months dude cause I was just so horny cause I remember the blood would like it would just You had an anti-erection scarf?

2:06:25I just remember. The blood would come to the edge of my skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, get me out of here. Oh, man. I remember because I had a full beautiful head of hair in high school. I had this hair length, but it was even longer and curlier and nice. and you know my school my high school was like um uh it was like you know most it was like 85 black or 90 black yeah and then of course greek we i was cool i was like i was on the football team i was a fun funny guy you know whatever i was hanging out and uh and girls would just love to just play with your curly white hair you know what i mean they would girls would love to like braid my hair and i just remember just like just feeling the warmth of a pussy like when a girl is like standing over you.

2:07:16Yeah, but no, I mean like. Oh, you feel. Yeah. This girl must have had a heater. I don't know what was going on. She had a little convection oven. Oh, yeah. Between her legs. And I remember feeling heat. Oh, yeah. On my neck. And I was like, this is awesome. It's a real thing. Look up.

2:07:36Is the vagina warmer? Oh, for sure. We can't say in children. Yeah. I'm just like Yeah Teen Do teens And be careful what you look up dude Cause I don't think you can do stuff like that Can you? Yeah no But I think probably When you're developing And for the record I was 16 She was 16 Yeah and everybody even in my imagination right now is Is 38 years old Is filled out Oh dude Are we gonna go to jail bro? No, you didn't search it, so we're good. Did you search it? No, when is the vagina warmest was the closest I was willing to get to. Okay, that could be time of day. Okay, let's see what it says.

2:08:27Or maybe we shouldn't, it sounds like. Vaginal temperature, indicative of thermo... Is winter vagina a real thing? Let's look at that. Maybe this will get us out of trouble. To put it mildly, not all experts are convinced this is a real problem. Hmm. What's going on here? This is very bloggy. The vagina maintains a steady temperature, and human body temperature only rises to the outside temperature when someone is suffering from heat stroke. Maybe this girl was out in the sun too long. Because I do remember just an emanating pussy heat. Oh, I remember being around a woman's vagina, dude, and just the first time you even like, Like, well, I remember the first time even a girl allowed you to put your deviant, criminal, perverted fucking claws on her.

2:09:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And how every part of her body was like a, and you would touch anything. Yeah, I would be like, whoa, what's going on here? Just put your elbow in my ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like. Oh, yeah. I remember being shocked. You were so excited, brother, just to be alive and be, just touch a woman. But I do remember around there like oovler or whatever that it would be warmer. Yeah, for sure. Or it would seem warmer. It could have been in your brain. It could have been in your brain. It could have just been how bad you wanted access to some pussy. And it felt like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction where it's just, oh.

2:09:56Like that's what pussy was in your head. It was just like warm. Oh, yeah. There's been plenty of those. Close the briefcase. We're leaving. Clef ass. Put chains around her, throw it in the ocean. I just remember. Yeah, man, it would just, you would be so, I mean, just geeked up. When you just, I mean, it was like, even if a woman wasn't going to let you touch her, but even just the fact that she let you put her hands. I remember the first time just being around a damn titty. I remember putting my ear up to it. This girl that It was like the first girl I ever even dated And I just remember Putting my ear up to And then Hearing the ocean No I think I even remember This is kind of crazy But I think I even remember Doing like the pledge of allegiance That would make me patriotic The first time I see tits That's a beautiful moment I mean that's all tits Yeah That's breast autism i mean it's like i think it's as close as you can get probably knowing that you have these feelings and they are just they take you over yeah that's the thing yeah for sure i mean i remember just the first time uh when you guys made love where was it in a in an apartment like a dorm the first time i got pussy was in a dorm that's beautiful but it was nice it was cool because it was like my college girlfriend wanted to kind of like wait and she was like, all right, well, you know, I had gotten jacked off.

2:11:35I had gotten, I think she blew me and it was like, she's like, all right, well now you can go down on me. And I was like, great. And she just, she, I ate her pussy. Oh, brother. I licked her cooter. Is that better? There we go. Tinkled her cooter.

2:11:56And I remember being like Feeling proud of myself Because her plan was to just let me Lick her cooter And she was like you know what Maybe we could just have sex right now She said that? Yeah she's like let's just fuck it out And I was like real nice And it was like incredible And I was just like I can't I felt like I earned My natural pussy eating abilities I hadn't eaten I think that's the first time I had a girl out Like I had like fingered a girl before Right right right But I'd never like And were you out Was it daytime or was it evening Daytime Yeah First time I had sex was like It was like 11 a.m.

2:12:33It was like It was like fucking Price is right is on Bro imagine I think I literally went to like lunch with like Yeah Like a Like a family friend Afterwards I think it was like We were She was over my In my dorm And it was And they're like, what are you up to today, Stavi? And they were just talking about shit, and I was just like, I think it was a guy I was trying to get an internship with. I busted the first time inside a woman ever, and this guy's talking to me about Greek town development, and I'm like, I don't give a fuck about any of this. Yeah, you're like, I'm having a kid in nine months.

2:13:11It was in a con. Why can't I? Where this apartment complex goes. Let's get some more news up. What else is going on out there? I'm trying to think of what I've been seeing. I don't even know, dude. I haven't been there. Well, they have this beer, the beer, all this, a lot of stuff with trans activism, you know? Shout out to them. Yeah. And it's got to be, but what is it? What is being trans? Yeah. I mean, I know it's like, is it, I know it's men or women who want to be the other, right? Yeah. Or they feel stuck inside of the, they feel wrongfully convicted. Yeah. I think that's a good way to put it.

2:13:48convicted in the wrong body right it's that that's what it seems like to me anyway although some people just want to go i'm neither i'm non-binary you know i'm throwing on some overalls i'm just hanging out i'm getting honestly a haircut a lot like yours that's so many yeah yeah but i think mullet is a pretty nice non-binary look yeah do you think what do you think because there's a lot of companies now that are advertising stuff right i mean this is hilarious Kid Rock Just fucking chill out Kid Rock Kid Rock just But he's also Kid Rock I know Fuck Bud Light And fuck Anheuser-Busch Have a terrific day Wow you really showed them Buying their shit And shooting it with guns And then basically Giving them a Giving them an advertisement Like everyone who likes Trans people is gonna be like Damn Kid Rock's dumb I'm gonna get some Bud Light

2:14:47Also, I didn't know this, but Kid Rock apparently grew up rich That's kind of wild Grew up at least middle class, yeah His family had a car dealership, I think Oh, okay, nice Yeah I think the thing about it, I think, is That he's, the place that he's coming from Is Do Are they trying, like What is, I just wonder, what is the business Is there a business goal of it? I don't think so. That's what I'm just curious about it. Because it seems like an interesting move. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See, that's the thing. That's what I think has kind of been blown kind of crazily out of proportion. It's like trans people that I know, they just want to be trans.

2:15:32Right. They just want to like not be like kill. Because that's the thing. Like if you're like going M to F, if you're like born a man, you transition to female, it's like that's like a lot of them like become sex workers. A lot of them like get like violence against them, guys who feel like they've been either tricked or like whatever. And it's like a pretty scary thing to – it's a pretty like tough lifestyle. And they're just like, hey, I just want like not to be killed and to be like basically respected and to be able to go to like the doctor. and I just don't it's such a low percentage of people too it's crazy to me that we're having this discussion that's the part to me is interesting and I wonder are you helping trans people by like Bud Light is this the move to help because I totally understand what you're saying like imagine if you are if you feel that way imagine if you really feel it now I think there's a big there could be a difference between people who really feel it And also now if they're commercializing it or if they're sensationalizing it so much that a mind that isn't sure now adapts to it to like have a cause.

2:16:46Because people can grasp onto a lot of causes, right? For sure. And I think like with any kind of thing that gets a lot of publicity, you will have people that are like just unsure will like reach on to it. And you will have – here's the thing. with anything that gets any traction you'll get people doing it cynically to get famous right but the way that there's like it's like a one percentage of people are trans 0.001 of them are like these weird people doing it for attention right you know so it's like that's what is crazy about these discussions is like for the most part what we're talking about is like let people have jobs you know like just let them have basic and the way i look at it right it was like just let them go about their lives without facing discrimination and like who gives a fuck yeah what do you care if somebody like was born a guy wants to chop their dick off and be a girl yeah why does that bother you and i do find it a little ironic where it's like especially people that are talking about like you know like not to get super political with it but it's like the states that are very anti the trans shit it's like you have people talking about how they want limited government but then they're like oh i have to check your daughters to see if your daughter has a vagina before like florida was talking about a bill where they're tracking girls periods to prove their their to prove their biological female and it's like like a whoop bracelet or something yeah yeah yeah yeah a whoop strap florida yeah ron de santa's wanted one around like teen girls inside of them and it's like aren't you supposed to be the one for like limited government but we're checking girls period it's just like or they made it like illegal to mention a period it's like dude it's fucking crazy and i'm just like i don't get like i have some yeah i don't understand why it's a like if someone's trans let them be trans i like i would never be upset at anybody that's trans or like i would be very curious what it's really like for sure i would be very curious in today's world what if someone is like just gay and they see an option to be for a clout or just totally uh straight and season because there's such a me it's such a like yeah like you know a currency out there now that i could see that being some but i don't say that to diminish it because those people are also diminishing if people are really dealing with that like sure i don't know i guess i guess i just wonder is this the best person to introduce that to the world like because a lot of people now are just starting to talk about trans which maybe is good, but it's also such a small percentage of people.

2:19:21I guess I just don't understand, is this going to be helpful to trans people? Because it almost, like if I'm a trans person, right, and my life is tough, right? Yeah. If I really am, because I believe that, you know, I mean, God makes so many cookies, man. You could. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or nature could be also merging. You don't know. Yeah. I also think in other societies, like ancient ones, people were kind of like in between genders and other societies had multiple genders. Yeah, look at Robin Hood. Yeah, exactly. Those guys were in tights. Come on. You're telling me. Somebody threw on Maid Marian's dress.

2:19:58Big John was a bear, dude. Yeah. But I just want, I guess, I wonder if, say, a regular trans person who does not want the wild attention, right? Yeah. And who just is trying to figure out their thing. do they think that this is i wonder if this is feels comfortable to them that now it's this thing it's like attached to be it's like yeah i don't know i know you mean like it's become like a uh like um well anytime like advertising or whatever you know when you become super mainstream but i think a lot of the attention is unwanted i think for the most part but i do think it's because it's a kind of a political backlash because i think i think what i don't want to get fucking super political here right yeah maybe we are getting but but but there is something to a culture war thing where conservatives have been very shrewd starting with like carl rove where it was like um they it started with gay marriage right and it's like because people are like like shit sucks in america for a lot of poor people but i think when you don't when you don't want to offer poor people anything in terms of like material help in terms of like better schools is better, you know, healthcare, like healthcare is a big issue, right?

2:21:10Like people are fucked and everything's getting more privatized and there's less like support. I think the way that you, uh, that, that you get people to like vote for you is you like rile them up and scare them, whether that, and like, there's this big backlash against trans people because I think it's become a conservative boogeyman where they're talking about like, you know, drag queens and they're talking about how drag queens are going to like groom your, like they're calling gay people groomers and shit and I think that's really dangerous and I think that attention has come because trans people are being used as a political tool in the negative whereas like I mean dude it's so funny to hear people talk about how drag queens are like you know oh they're so dangerous for kids where it's like drag queen like you think they molest people like politicians and priests are up two million kids to zero on molested drag queens it's like at least two million or maybe a a thousand maybe like a thousand yeah yeah maybe there's one yeah there's one of them who was whatever but it's like still drag queens are gonna start having to do like flea flickers and like trick plays to get back in the game yeah compared to priests compared to fucking compared to politicians they're the ones fucking kids and it's like it's just become this political ploy you know yeah it's like yeah that's it i mean look that's a that's a really great point man i think what i hear a lot of times that people are scared of especially on the backs of like the vaccine and stuff like that people are scared that well is this some another reach where they're trying to where the media will then use like a lot of like film television exposure about gender uncertainty and then to start to get you young people to want to take like a gender blocker right or some type of a medicine right and i don't know enough about the medicine yeah But I think when I look even how influenced I was, I mean, I watched WWE wrestling.

2:23:05Yeah, if The Rock cut his dick off, you'd be thinking about it. Dude, if somebody just threw my grandmother against the ropes, I would have kicked that bitch's head off. That's how influenced I was by WWE, bro. Yeah, sure, sure. It was over, bro. No amount of calcium pills was going to bring her back. yeah so i think that's a lot of people's fear it's like man there's so much influence over my children that if they start to use this chip are they then just going to come in with another medicine on the back of covid where a lot of people are skeptical about the vaccine now and rightfully so yeah so i think that's probably a lot of i think that's a lot of the fear yeah but but i think the molestation part you're right it's like yeah it's like oh you can't molest my kids i'll let them you know it's only going to be done by my own yeah by my by my preacher yeah yeah yeah yeah not a guy with lipstick which again it's not like i do think i just don't think i just don't i'm not convinced that the numbers are that big where it's like all of a sudden all these kids are transitioning because they think it's cool i think it's so hard to do that like people would say that about like uh in like sports right or like leah thompson they were talking about that swimmer yeah who like who's trans then was like a much better swimmer as a woman than than she was as a man the idea that you would cut your dick off to win fucking college swimming you really want to you really want that bronze medal in college swimming that bad that you're gonna chop your nuts off it's like i don't know that's like and then have people like you'd swim faster without you yeah the nuts might be weighing you down for sure you're a seal but it's just like i I guess I'm not convinced that, like, I think a lot of this shit is just fear-mongering for no reason.

2:24:50Yeah. And especially when you see the statistics. Like, I saw some poll, I don't know, I don't know if, like, we can find it, but it was, like, there was, like, a poll of shit of, like, the percentage people thought. Were trans? A bunch of things, not just trans, but, like, a ton of stuff. Right. Like, how many people are Muslim in America? How many people are, like, whatever? And everyone overestimated everything. And that, like, I think, I literally think, like, a percentage of trans people in America is, like, 1%. I think we looked at it the other day. It was 1.7 million. About 5 % of young adults in the U.S.

2:25:18say their gender is different from their sex. See, now this article sounds so delusional to me, right? 5 % of youth, it could be. Now, that could be they asked 100 youths in Brooklyn outside, you know. That's the thing about articles. You just don't know. But that kind of percentage, yeah, you see that? It could definitely make people think what's going on. And then you get scared. The news is so scary, man. I also think there's a difference between like fully transitioning and being like, hey, I do think there's a lot of kids who are like, hey, maybe I'm non-binary. Yeah. Maybe I'm like, I'm not going to change anything medically, but like maybe I'm going to start, instead of being called Eric, my name is now Sock.

2:25:57Yeah. And I'm half a guy. You know what I mean? Like, like it is, there is like, there is some change in that. I think definitely I think I have more like young friends who are like maybe open to experimenting with gender in that they think you know the way every generation has different radical ideas to older people. And I think that's another thing I try and think about is like you don't want to be the old guy who's like well that's not right. That's not how I had it. Yeah. You know what I mean. Like the part of me is like I defer to young people sometimes a little bit where it's like and some of this is like people are going to find themselves and they're going to like settle down.

2:26:31and it's like whatever they might those percentages might like drop or whatever but it's just like i think this shit is kind of like fluid and like always changing but ultimately i don't think it's dangerous like that's the thing it's like who gives a fuck if somebody wants to change their name or like be perceived as something else i don't understand why you fucking care yeah oh i don't i don't think i feel like a lot of people probably don't yeah yeah yeah but i think if it came to a point where then a kid could go get say if i'm 14 right yeah and i don't know how i'm feeling right yeah maybe i'm gay maybe i'm straight maybe uh women just don't like me bro i mean there was times when i was younger when i thought that women didn't like me enough that i thought maybe i'm supposed to like men dude me too i was like i was like maybe i'll just i was like there must be something wrong with me yeah yeah yeah you know that maybe in my head somehow i'm messed up I'm not messed up, but I am not seeing things clearly.

2:27:30For sure. No, I'm with you there. So say if you're going through that, and then you decide to – that's where it's like – I just don't like it when there's possibility for the drugs to get involved. That's the part for me that's like, man, I don't know, because I got on antidepressants at a young age, and I can't get off of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know. It's definitely interesting. And I think, look, we've had some good thoughts about it and some good discussion about it. and I will say just from like I've hooked up with some people who are they them non-binary I've gotten some excellent they them pussy damn really yeah yeah absolutely no joke the best head I've gotten is a tie between two they them people it was awesome damn yeah probably traditionally appear you know if you saw them you'd probably go that's a girl you know what I mean but still yeah yeah yeah yeah so shout out to you know they them pussy is very powerful and it's out there the lord's leap year dude yeah exactly exactly look a lot of like asian people i think are have a or uh uh are against this sort of thing they're very like gender yeah you know you samurai or ninja yeah you have to even starting to name their kids i think like him him was one of the it's like nobody's confusing my son him him he him yeah yeah yeah he's him and him he's a rapper oh that was lame that was a lame joke you know what's interesting man is that i wonder a lot what nature's doing like because that's what we don't know we don't know what nature is doing we don't know every second that we are alive every like right now right now right now that's what nature's doing so we don't know also if nature is doing something genetically where in the future we're all gonna be one color one you know ambidextrous yeah wearing like just an ambidextrous holster around our waist you know that's true you could like remember like the like WWE figures where you could like switch the heads and it was like maybe you could do that a genital soon.

2:29:39It could. Where it's like you flip your dick it goes into your ass and now you got a pussy. Or maybe you got a pussy under your balls. Maybe that's how we evolve. Oh. Imagine if you lifted up your balls. And you had a vagina under it? You had a vagina right under it. Oh, you'd be like now it's time for the show. And you just pull a little rope that's on your leg. Your balls spread apart like they're curtains. Yeah.

2:30:09yeah um yeah but i just then why are they i don't know why if it's a small thing and i feel like it's a i just feel like it's such a sensitive topic for whoever's really going through that yeah yeah that i don't know if it's the right thing for a company to come along i don't know see you know what i'm saying i do know what you're saying like or what i'm questioning i just i don't know it's hard to feel that out i understand the question i think like pause i think anything that kind of normalizes a struggle that somebody's going through is fine you know it's like okay like I see what you're saying where it's like it brings attention to it and the negative attention to me is a problem but it's like it's on the people who are negative about it like you know I'm obviously very like I just don't I think the real problems are the legislative is the legislative stuff that's happening against trans people personally yeah where it's like it's making their lives difficult it's making some people not be able to get like medical care it's you know well insurance will make find any reason not to give you anything well that's the other thing is like yeah that's another problem with our country where it's like so many of our biggest problems come down to we don't have our basics covered in the richest country in the history of the world which is so fucked up like no one should be fucking well it's not profitable it's not you know yeah it comes down to a bottom line you start to feel like a you know you start to feel like a pawn i think that's i think that's another thing it's such a time where everything that the media does feels like someone is being pawned that I think that just the everything these days I feel like kind of makes me a little bit nervous yeah you know I'm with you too I am a little like what's the shell game here yeah yeah yeah I'm a little pessimistic about the course we're on in general just because of like you know global warming shit but also like inequality in America is so crazy where it's like yeah dude and I think a lot of the anger that you see in general like Like even for some people, trans has become like a boogeyman.

2:32:03And it's like they're angry because, yeah, their family member has fucking cancer. Insurance doesn't cover it. Their job has been – you know, their job is gone. There's no fucking – you know, a train gets derailed. No one's fucking cleaning it up. Now they have fucking poison in their water. And it's like these are all things that could be covered with like if we held our government accountable and they just like we had to – they had to provide basic needs for people. Yeah. But everything is gone kind of to shit. And it's like it's easy to start disagreeing about the stuff that does not matter when you're just so angry because you feel like you're getting screwed.

2:32:38Because we are getting screwed. But we're getting screwed by, in my opinion, big corporations, by everyone who's just like gobbling up all the money and making sure that it's like, you know, wages having place with inflation. You know, minimum wage, if it was like what it was in the 70s, now it should be like, you know, like 40 bucks an hour or something. You know what I mean? like i think that's the root of all like our disagreements and all our all the anger here and i think oh yeah when people don't feel like they're not belong to yeah like they're taking care of it used to feel like you also well at the same time that you're kicking down the traditions of the country yeah you know and at the same time that you're taking you're taking away like or you're making it harder i think i don't know it's a lot there's a lot of stuff i'm not trying to not think about it.

2:33:25It's just a lot. Yeah, no, for sure. And maybe I'll turn the subject so we can get into something a little happier. Yeah, we got some funny ones we can go into. Okay, let's get into one or two funnier ones, man. Sorry about that. Look, man, I love thinking about it. I'm with you, too. I mean, I really do think... And I think it's important to talk to think about. For sure. You know, because that's the thing. I don't know anybody that is trans. And a lot of my friends don't. And I'm even in LA five months out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have some friends. Oh, wait, we had a guest, Robin Tran. Robin Tran.

2:33:55Robin Tran. I believe so. Yeah, and that is. A little on the nose. I mean, yeah. But Robin Tran is a comedian, and I don't know. She didn't have the surgery at that time. Okay.

2:34:11And then Joe Dosh was a male comedian, and he has. I don't know Robin personally. Yeah, J-O-E-D-O-S-C-H. Fifi now is his name. And he got a transition. Okay. I believe. I don't want to talk out of pocket. Joe's one of the smartest and just really, it was really a captivating. Yeah. I don't know him as much as a woman, and I don't think it's, I don't know if there's a difference between knowing someone when they are a man or a woman. Wouldn't that be crazy? because I had a buddy that used to clean the pool over at my friend's house, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they would come every year, right?

2:34:54And there was a big guy, right? And he was awesome, right? And then one year he came, dude, and he lost a lot of weight, and I was out there just catching some D, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vitamin. Vitamin. Vitamin. You're out there getting spit-roasted. Why can't there be even just one dude in the hypothesis? Catching some D. You go to extremes, bro. I just feel like if you're catching some D, you're getting more than one. You know what I mean? It's like if you're getting a D, it's different. Catching some. I guess I thought about the way vitamin D is like you're being bombarded with sunlight.

2:35:31I guess I was thinking bombarded with dick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? That's why I went right to spit roasted. You're right. You're right, man. Not bad. It's just even hypothetically, I don't want to be doing that much gay stuff. but um but what happened then oh and when he lost so much weight I didn't first of all I didn't really know it was him I'm like who's this guy who's just talking to me who's this piece of ass you have three friends

2:36:01who's this guy that's just talking to me so much and then I was like oh my god he seemed like a different guy so that's what I wonder too if you met if it was like a book if you met talk to someone before and after how much changes differently like because dude that's a journey to go on well that's the thing i remember the first time i went to florida when i was a kid and i was like this is gonna be crazy yeah but imagine every cell in your body being like yeah you know what i'm saying we're going to san francisco yeah oh yeah we're going to san francisco brother or we're going to like yeah at Brooklyn, you know?

2:36:37Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think there's probably some, you probably just feel more, I would just guess you'd feel more comfortable, you'd probably feel like more yourself, you know, I can't speak to being trans, whatever, but, you know, I'm sure you're just like maybe even more pleasant to be around, because it's like anything, imagine like hiding something and then being, and also it's like a hard thing, like a lot of people don't understand it, a lot of people are, can be like, probably in your family like coming out as gay is hard enough imagine being like nah i'm to you to like somebody who would have a problem with being gay it's like coming out as five times gay you know what i mean like going yeah i'm a girl yeah i'm so gay i'm a girl like that's what that's what like a you know like a like i'm chasing my own tail yeah like you're like you're like the ultimate warrior of gays like bring up when the ultimate warrior came in the ring there was nothing like that brother dude it was electric yeah there was yeah when that happened that changed the scene yeah i bet there's a lot of gay people that also are like man they're stealing our for sure that is huge gay as hell dude that is huge right now gator's been like what are we gonna do guys yeah absolutely being a white gay guy at this point is like you're not even gay.

2:37:55You know what I mean? You better up the ante. And maybe that's what some of these guys are doing, I think, man. Well, I would go costume. I mean, yeah, dude, wrestling is so gay. It's like, they're so ripped, gay. They got a lot of energy, cocaine. Hanging out in their underwear, gay. It's a lot of gay shit. I don't know. Some of it looks straight, too, but it's like, yeah. I don't know. That looks pretty gay to me. Look, it's truck stop straight. Manhandling a couple little twinks. God. The ultimate warrior. Well, here's the interesting part about things. Yeah. Now ultimate warrior is kind of becoming like a gay icon.

2:38:30I see it, dude. I can totally see it. All the fucking, all the like makeup, all the like little mask. He's so ripped. He's colorful. And I wonder what does nature have planned? Because nature's done some wild stuff. We used to be cavemen, right? Sure. We used to be monkeys, right? So it's like, what is nature? A lot of rape in nature. It's fucked up. We're much more civilized now. yeah you know but i feel like we're just a fucking screen just where does this right behind a screen door run yeah yeah yeah power goes out for like two weeks in a row shit's gonna go bad dude in 40 minutes power goes out i'd be holding my sister's hand well again that might be cold it might be have to again cultural having to do with you know saying cooter no it was to make sure she's okay but then but it's like how you know what i'm saying now well you're just like dude that's another thing or there are a lot of power outage gays out there yeah absolutely it doesn't even take long the lights flicker you're like the hell man some guy some guy just backed up against the light the light switch it wasn't even an outage yeah yeah it was the garage door opener just tripped it dude calm down without a cloud in the sky.

2:39:51What's another news thing? Were there a lot of like secret gay guys where you were growing up? Well, when I was growing up, they had, you know, I was talking about this before, but they had a rest area back behind our, had a river back behind us and they had a rest area back there. And a lot of gay men. Would float in on the Lacy River? It was drug, people were back there drugging. Nice. But you do enough drugs, Absolutely. you do gay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so that's when they, and they had a lot of guys and they had these these dudes with one of those potato launchers and they would every time if they had two men that got a little too they'd shoot a couple spuds at them they'd just fire a tot at them and it wasn't like trying to hit them but it was like hey the way you hit a dog with a rolled up newspaper I wouldn't even say that I wouldn't even say that just a little warning a shot across the bow Yeah, yeah.

2:40:48Just something to let you know. Just say, fellas, we know you're here. We see what's going on. Yeah, we respect it. Yeah. But also, we know you're just drugged up right now. Right, right, right. And we want you to - You don't want to come to cum drunk. Yeah. Thinking about how you're going to explain this to your fiance. Yeah. Yeah, you don't want to cum to and be like, damn, I didn't know they had a Cinnabon in town. They started making savory Cinnabons? Yeah.

2:41:17fuck dude alright what did you have there Bubba? trying to remember what was happening in the news I'm trying to remember if we had any secret gay guys in Greektown oh well that happened and then they had a guy who was mentally

2:41:33he had a baby he had a he drove a bicycle right? he was mentally handicapped yeah yeah yeah full downs what are we talking? little touch? ups We had a couple guys. He had ups. So he, it was like kind of like, you know, he was kind of like, he was like hide and go special. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't know. You had to get close. I know what you're saying. You had to infiltrate. You had to get near the fence to know it. You had to do the Ren and Stimpy close up to really see it from far away. far away look normal bro so and then this is what happened so he and he and he would ride around town right his parents got him a bike or something when he was like 30 for good behavior I'm not sure I don't know what he was like at home but his parents so he would always be in town he'd be cruising the streets everybody was like he's gay you know and the story was he had like they put a baby seat on his bike right okay and so there was like a like an old wives tale or whatever that he had a husband like a little husband that had left him oh that sucks so there was like there was kind of two sides of the form there was some people were like you know get these queers out of here you know and then there was other people that were just like you know kind of heartbroken for him of course because here he was that he had somebody that he'd lost, you know, or that had left.

2:43:12And so people were always like... So the baby seat was for the little husband. Yeah. It was not for the baby. Okay. So we're talking, he's a baby-sized husband. Well, that's what people said. He had a small husband. Like a Filipino guy or what are we thinking? I don't know. Did you guys, what kind of, how many Asians did you have growing up? It doesn't feel like... We didn't have any. There was a rumored Asian, actually. They had, remember when Pizza Hut had those unique rooftops? Bring it up, buddy. Sure, yeah. Remember when Pizza Hut had those unique rooftops? Yeah, absolutely. You still see it.

2:43:43You go to a town, and it's like a bank, and it's like, wait, that's a fucking Pizza Hut. Yeah. Or like a mattress discounters. It's like, I know that roof, motherfucker. Yeah, it's beautiful. There used to be fucking deep dish in here. Oh, there you go, right there. Yeah, dude. God, it was beautiful. It really was. Well, one of those - It's a travesty that they don't do the sit-down Pizza Huts anymore. It was. They're all takeaways. They're all sucks. That is one of the saddest things. It fucking sucks. When you grow up poor - Sitting down in a pizza hut. That was Thanksgiving. Truly, dude. Those little cups, the red cups, the stained glass.

2:44:17And some of the pizza pans, they even had like a cork or something on it, I think. Underneath. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. It felt as a first time, they would bring out the like cast iron. And you're like, oh my God. Yeah, who are we? Yeah, this is crap. I've never seen. Yeah, is this the Titanic? Yeah. Every night in my dreams. Truly, dude, it was like that and like our big place was like Applebee's when it first came out. Oh, yeah. Like they first got to East Point Mall in Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. My family would go there and then Chili's as well. But in those days, it was Pizza Hut or Applebee's.

2:44:55And that was like. God, yeah. That was when we were fucking. Oh, that's fancy. Yeah, that'll make you. That'll make you want to do a line of coke. Yeah, absolutely. But one of those had burned down, right? And so that rooftop, that unique roof, was fresh on the ground. No. And so people, I guess a rumor got started that an Asian family moved in town or whatever. Because it looks like a dojo? Because the shape is dojo-like? It had an Asian shape. Yeah. You know? Like a bimbapazoid or something. Or whatever. Yeah. Bippimapazoid or something. Oh, are you trying to say bimbap? Yeah, is that it? That's like the Korean stone bowl breakfast.

2:45:41Yeah, yeah. It had an Asian shape. Yeah. You know? And so people were like, yeah, they had an Asian guy over in Slotel, Louisiana. So I remember we saved up money. We fucking saved up money to get a taxi to go over there. To try and catch him? Or just to see him. Yeah, yeah. And I remember we got there and we're like, fuck. Do you legitimately think you could have made money showing, like, if you had, like, a guy from Thailand in, like, a little enclosure, could you charge people from Slidell to look at him? Not now. But back then? Not much, but yeah. Maybe, like, a quarter, just to take a peek?

2:46:20Oh, I think for 50 cents people would stop by.

2:46:25But now a lot of people don't know Louisiana has some of the most Vietnamese people in the whole world. Really? Because of the fishing, yeah. We had the first Vietnamese House of Representative. Hell yeah. House of Representative. Yeah, Representative. But yeah, back then they didn't have it as much. Well, in Houston, there's so many Vietnamese people because, I don't know why, but they got good-ass Viet food, dude. Do they? Yeah, Houston has a crazy Vietnamese population. Wow. I was just there and I was like, damn, I would love to get like a chubby Vietnamese wife. You know what I mean? Yeah.

2:46:58That would be awesome. Grew up around black people. Just a lot of culture shock. Do Viet and blacks get along, do you think? I think in Houston, just because that's who's there, you know? And I think there's definitely... A boy can dream, anyway. I would love like a mixed Vietnamese black wife. Yeah. Big titties, knows how to cook pho. Ugh. Would be awesome. Yeah. I really would like a little something, because everyone in my family... Even barba pho. Boba pho? Somebody made fucking barba pho? Barba? Ooh, ribs and some fucking pho. Dude, barba pho? Did we just invent barba pho? We really did, dude.

2:47:36We really did. Kentucky pho chicken? Kentucky pho chicken. There's no end to it, brother. That's my dream. Yeah. Because my brothers both married white women, and nothing wrong with that. But I just feel like I got to get a little something going in the bloodline. But are you a white denier, do you think? I think I am in some ways. Not denier, but, like, I just think, like, it would be fun to get a little something different in the family photos. Yeah. You know, just a little, mix it up a little bit. I just think that would be kind of nice. But, like, my dream would be, like, a Greek girl. Like, you know, Yanis at the Takumbo, he's Greek.

2:48:13He grew up in Athens, but he's ethnically a Nigerian. Like, a Greek, like a. He's an Athenican-American, right? Yeah, yeah. Is that right? I think that's right. Athenican. Athenian. American maybe Athenian yeah yeah yeah my dream would be like somebody who speaks Greek but like just doesn't look you know what I mean just to get a little just to get the like like Memphis Greek get something fun in the bloodline you know what I mean mix it up well you know well that I think look I've long said that we're all gonna it's in three four or five generations it's gonna be a lot of like Ben Simmons-y sure very well even you you're sneaky cause you just said your dad's right my father's from Bluefields Nicaragua Yeah And so Bluefields Yeah That's hilarious It's like a coastal area Bring it up I've never been Really?

2:49:03You've never been Nicaragua at all? You gotta go though I know That'd be interesting But see Even what I'm saying You got a little You just got a little Something in the mix And so many people do Yeah Absolutely That's the thing Even when you look back On like Like Like you talk about Like slavery It's almost like I wish they'd just had Some of the invoices yeah yeah so we could be like look or if somebody's last name was fruit of the loom then they're you know oh larry fruit of the loom you're but you know yeah you get some underwear donny haynes yeah yeah yeah yeah um i didn't even know bluefield seems like a fake name nicaragua yeah dude you gotta go that'd be sick just i mean i don't know if you gotta go to bluefields i don't know if it's cool or not but you should at least go to nicaragua i've met some people on airplanes and stuff and they've told me about it.

2:49:54Fuck yeah, dude. But yeah, my father would speak Spanish a lot and he would go to, he worked as like a... I don't know, he didn't work that much, I think. The opposite of the stereotype. Yeah. You know? I think there was a time when he did. I mean, he was 70 when I met him. My dad was very old. Yeah, yeah, that is. So yeah. That's another wrinkle. I can't say that in any more podcasts. I know, I know. I've said so many times my dad was 70. But it is still, I mean, I know what you mean, but it's still so interesting. Yeah. Like, I don't know how in-depth you've gotten with it, but that is like a, that's something to explore so much, having such an old-ass dad.

2:50:31Well, it made me so aware. I was just like, is dad okay? Yeah, dude. Like, what's going on? Like, it was never like, am I okay? You know, like. Of course. Oh, you really felt mortality at a time when most kids don't even consider it. Oh, I was scared of everything. Yeah. Because like even grand, like when grandparents die, that's usually a kid's first entree into, oh wait this shit might not last forever but it's like an old ass grandparent when it's your fucking dad like wait the guy who's supposed to protect me is old as shit like and my mom was very she's like you should get to school you should well you should get to school your dad's gonna die she would just drop it into whatever yeah you want your dad's last memory of you been cutting class get some good grades dude i developed this he's on death's door yeah i developed this This concept in my head that if I did everything perfect, that my dad would stay alive.

2:51:27That's fucking wild, dude. Isn't that crazy? That's like light OCD, it sounds like. I didn't even realize that until last year. I did that ayahuasca stuff, and it made me think. And that came to my, I was like, man. When I thought that, I hadn't thought it for my whole life. Except maybe when I was young. I just burst down crying. Yeah, dude. Reminds you of that shit. It's so fucked up, a little kid carrying that. You should be thinking about fucking baseball cards and Trish Stratus' dress. Do everything okay? My dad will say. Yeah, I think it's just part of it is like you're just heartbroken for the kid as a child.

2:52:00Of course. I'm not trying to get into self-pity, but interesting. No, that's not self-pity at all, dude. No, that's wild. You deserve to be like, damn, that was fucked up. It's interesting, man, what's going on in the world. I think the scare, I just get so scared, I get so activated about how our media use, just trickily use this stuff against us because they don't seem to have a real care about the general well-being of people. Oh, yeah. I mean, especially once we go to like 24-hour news and you're selling advertising, it's like when the news was like a couple times a day and we're telling you just what happened and we're not worried about selling ads, then yeah, you could probably trust it.

2:52:39But now it's like everyone does have an agenda and you do kind of have to like cut through what the fuck's being said. Yeah. And corporate media is just so – it's just like they're invested in keeping like everything the same and not really helping anyone and not telling you what's fucked up. Yeah, they want to keep in the same pattern too. Yeah. It's just like you've been – your race keeps you down or your – where you're from or your Christianity keeps you – or just – it's just something, you know. Yeah. It's always something. Yeah. If you look at the patterns, like, damn, that's the same pattern.

2:53:07Yeah. I think they're invested in the status quo And the like you know Just yeah I think Shit that doesn't really affect you And they're not they don't want to talk about I don't know shit that Our day to day our day to the shit They just fucked up shit that's like Damn you know Our government did this like They fucked up this many countries like You know like all the CIA shit All the like You know just just again i like inequality shit like culture war stuff is easier yeah because it's like because it's so divisive people feel it so deeply but ultimately it doesn't matter you know what i mean it's like we all it's like going back to the same shit it's like yeah you're like your dad's from nicaragua it's like even like we're all the same matter right we're all the same people everyone's exactly the same or not everyone's exactly the same but we all have something in us that's we can relate to everyone and we are different in ways that are cool like that's even going back to what I was saying about it'd be cool to have somebody from a different culture in my family like I feel like I have to bring that into my family just because it's like I don't know I feel like I have a better time when I'm with different people different from me oh yeah do you ever get the nuggets and they accidentally put a fry in that bit yeah dude give me a couple of freaking fries give me a spicy nug yeah but even with comp like to bring the conversation kind of back to comedy it's like I like when crowds are different from like I like seeing people that I have nothing like that you wouldn't think it's just some like bro like an Older couples have started coming to my shows or, like, people, different races, whatever.

2:54:38It's like, and even, like, comedy shows. It's like, I like doing shows with comics that are not like me. Like, I like bringing people who have different experiences. Even on my podcast, it's like, let me get some gay dudes. You know what I mean? Like, let me get some gay dudes. Let me get some, like, you know. We need some gays in here, huh? Get some gays in here, dude. Damn. We got some good gays. Get Mateo in here. He's the man. Oh, yeah. I get Mateo in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think. It's cool, but it is cool to be around people that are different than you and just kind of like soak all that shit up and have a good ass time.

2:55:10Eat some different foods. Suck some different colored nipples. They should have gay foods. Yeah. What would be a gay food? I think a clear broth. Anything that's easy on the old butthole, I think. Anything easy on the plumbing. Yeah, that could be part of the barbafo. Yeah. It's like just a clear broth for our gay friends. It's like, yeah, gum. Yeah, dude, I just want to, it's so interesting to think, like, what is history going to be like? But it's interesting with ethnicities because we truly only win as a people, right, if we all win, right? Yeah. That's the only way that, like, humanity, if you hope that a thousand years for whatever it is, that everybody, that's why sometimes I think it's almost like different ethnicities and cultures have like different parts of like the whatever's gonna bring everybody to peace.

2:56:05Yeah we gotta be Voltron. Yeah. We gotta yeah come together. I mean I do think you're right in terms of like it's gotta be like a collective thing. Yeah. Like people realize like I think most people I think America's held down a little bit by like the richest in our country where it's like shit is hard you know the inequality's crazy they have a lot of resources like you know these motherfuckers have islands. I know. And it's like people don't have fucking water. And it's like, or, you know, people can't, like, don't have a living wage. Or, like, you look at how Walmart treats their fucking workers.

2:56:35They're busting their asses. And it's like they're on fucking food stamps. It's like you got, yeah. It's like, come on. And so I do think there's, like, a collective thing where it's like if everybody realizes that there's a few people fucking our shit up, you could, you know, there is, like, a, you know, that's why I think, like, labor unions are good. Where it's, like, you could just be like, hey, we do all the fucking work. Like, you should just, you know, have to, like. there's this weird thing where it's like even like child labor is back in certain places like that's how much they don't want to pay people a living wage that they're like uh they're rolling back like child protection laws it's kind of fucking wild dude wow but i didn't know that yeah there's a couple there's a couple states that they just started doing that shit and it was fucking it was fucking crazy but i do think that it's it's fat yeah it's like how can people survive on these on on on wages you know yeah no it's fucked up it's also like some jobs are like stair-step jobs like to advance and stuff.

2:57:26Yeah, yeah, yeah. But for some people maybe they're not these days. It's just it's child labor laws are under attack in states across the country. Amid increasing child labor violations. Lawmakers must act to strengthen standards. Yeah, they're like, and they're just, even the laws that we have on file, they're just kind of like ignoring them and shit. It's kind of crazy. I think we're in a, we're in like, I think It feels lawless right now. Shit is kind of crumbling and it's like, like we even are like basic shit it's like the infrastructure in this country sucks dick yeah the roads are bad amtrak yeah it's like yeah i mean don't get me started on that shit but i'd rather fedex myself somewhere yeah yeah yeah yeah put me in a poke some holes in a box easy yeah which sucks too because in this country there used to be so much rail but that was i mean amtrak was fun as fuck dude that's the other thing it's like when you go back in time you look at history it's like car companies destroyed rail in this country but then they let them lobby against it so that they could so that it wouldn't even be competitive you know i just wonder also are we sitting on the down or do we get to a point where greed and that sort of thing has happened so much that it's like this is where you end up yeah absolutely i think that's the logical end of like always putting profits over everything it's like i'm not saying you shouldn't make a you know i agree make a living you shouldn't make a profit but it's like there is something fucked up when it's like that's the only goal i think you make a good living you have a product that makes a good amount of money you should also pay your fucking work like i have a problem with amazon but if amazon just took some of their profits and paid their fucking workers better and made sure they all got like health insurance and shit and be like that's the best company well now their profits would be a little worse but it's like i think you could that it should be a twin goal of like make profits and provide for the people that like work for you and shit but yeah it's interesting it's like um there's a lot it's like because you ask somebody who's a business partner and they'll you know they'll say um like Mike Rowe was on here and he said well people just don't want to do jobs they don't want to work anymore it's so and there can be an article that's created to kind of make you think anything of course that's the scariest part it's like yeah and to not know like we don't you know we know our instincts yeah right yeah but um yeah I think it's unbelievable that there's that there are they should put a cap on wealth i believe i i'm with you actually fully like when you look at like the like how we got out of the great depression and shit and all that kind of stuff it's like after a certain point it's like you look it could be a crazy number 20 million dollars a year whatever it's like after a certain point it's like okay tax that rate high and then fucking provide basics for people yeah you know and it's like and it doesn't have to be like poverty like it doesn't have to be like no one's allowed to make any money but it's like it's I do think it's in it's like a moral issue in America that we have so much homelessness and so much of it is like fucking people that were in the army you know it's like it's shit and like how much teachers make it's like why the fuck is a is a teacher getting paid$34 ,000 a year but like a consultant you know I mean like some fucking fake job where they tell you to like oh slash prices to make more profits why do they make$200 ,000 a year whatever it's like that's the shit where I just feel like yeah I don't feel like a very political person but it's like when I start talking it pains me it sounds like it sounds like I'm a fucking communist but I'm just like no man just like we should provide for the weakest in a society when we have so much money and that's that's like my belief is that like yeah we should just provide for like people and I think you see it with like you know you still want people to work you still want that right Of course.

3:01:04But then, like, it's, you know, I don't know. There's a lot of, like, nuance to all of it. But I don't think that, but then also you have people that will go and have 20 kids. Yeah, sure. And they don't have any social responsibility to the fact that when you do that and have no plan or anything, that the drain you're putting on society is unbelievable. Sure. You know? Just with your own real cooter. Of course. Once you got the cooter fucking humming. What you got that hot cooter humming? So I used to think they should take your nuts away. When you're born, give them back when you graduate high school.

3:01:42That would be a great idea. That would be awesome. I would love to be able to put my nuts on ice for a little bit. Oh, yeah. And then make Disney put it to music. It's doing triple axles. Yeah.

3:01:58And Axl Rose is doing the music. Fuck yeah, dude. Get him in there with his little bandana. You know, he's looking puffy these days. Stavros, thanks so much, man. I think we've gone through a lot. Do you? Absolutely. This is a great episode, dude. I mean, we even got serious about stuff. So it's like. We did. Yeah. We're not serious guys, really. Oh, I know. But it is fun to think about this shit. Yeah. It's okay to get serious sometimes. I think so. Yeah. I think there's just a lot going on, too. Yeah. It's a strange time. And then how much of it is just a trap where there's just like, hey, look at this while something else is going on.

3:02:30You know? Yeah. We're fighting. We're over here. You know, people are arguing about. You know A young You know a trans beer can yeah that well that's exactly and meanwhile there's like half or you know they're shipping away a ton of our money or they're doing this or you know fully dude that's weird i think it's all i think all that culture war stuff all the especially gay and trans issues it's textbook let's get you to not pay attention to the economic issues that are actually ruining your life and making you this angry um so i don't know i mean i think that's a big like i'm i was a big Bernie guy when it came to the election last time.

3:03:11And I thought like it may, I think him versus Trump actually would have made a lot of sense because it's like, there's anger. Like that's, there was a populism behind Trump that the Democrats would have been smart to like do the, to pick their populist candidate. And the one saying like, no big business is fucking us. Like we have to fucking like, we have to fight back against this or they'll take advantage of us. And I do think that, I mean, it just comes down to that, man. When people are like angry, it's easy to keep them distracted with shit that ultimately the guy wants to wear a dress, let the fucking guy wear a dress, but like give me healthcare.

3:03:43Yeah. Like make sure, make it so that if my grandma, he gets like, if my mom gets a treatable skin cancer, she gets to live and not go bankrupt. And that, and it's like when people are so mad about the fact, you know, they're so riled up about all the negative shit in their lives that it's easy to channel that into anger against, you know, groups that are kind of fucking marginalized and whose lives are, hard enough already but everybody's life is kind of fun everybody that's another thing too it's like this constant like yeah and the quality life is going down so bad the health care can't just be you know they can't focus only on the fact like i don't know it's just interesting it's like because kids can go to a therapist now and say something and the therapist can put them on a drug do the parents have the ability to stop them but that's crazy if your kid's like 12 and he's like i feel like a man yeah it's a woman yeah i don't know but here you may have a closer connection to it yeah and look none of these none of these issues are like cut dry that's the other thing is like these are case by case yeah again not that many fucking statistically not that money and that's the thing even us talking about it this much fuck i know we fucked up but hey what are you gonna do the important thing is people watch the crowd work special yeah you know that's No matter what's going on in your genetics or diaper.

3:05:02Any kind of genitals, come to this Fat Rascal Tour. We won't check to see what you got. Unless you want me to. I might take a peek. Wouldn't that be crazy to start checking people?

I was napping like one of those like, you know when you're like not, it's so hot your body's just like having like a fever nap almost?

3:05:42Yeah. I was like, do I have a fever? Am I about to like give fucking Theo COVID? But I was just hot in the airplane, it turns out. Oh, yeah. But yeah, but I'm feeling, I can't wait to crack that door and just feel a breeze. that's our reward for this podcast to just feel in that breeze that's it we're like two of those kids that have to mine for the iPhones or whatever and their lunch break is just cool air yeah who wants lunch don't fill up yeah don't get your lungs too comfortable you got another 12 hours in the mines god dude and it's so sick we're even laughing about that I know it sucks but whatever man but we are not really laughing about it god bless you guys bro thank you star bros for being here man thank you bro yeah i'm so excited to see the new special that comes out tomorrow tomorrow yep so crowd work special just for fun the real the real big dick special is coming in the fall i'm recording it in may uh at the paramount in austin i can't wait for you yeah that'll be really fun and i'll come out sometime in the fall but just a little something to tide the people over you know you're gonna go to rogan's new club i went dude i was i was actually i was checking out the Paramount, I was scouting it on opening night, and so I didn't, I wasn't on the shows, but I went to check it out.
