1:10And yeah, and I'm happy to be here and alive with you today on planet Earth at this time in existence. And here we are. What is going on? Oh, this, I freaking, I'm in Los Angeles, right? And I forgot that I have a Jeep Cherokee out here. And it's probably maybe six, seven years old or something. And I forgot that I wasn't driving my car at home, right, in Nashville. So the other day, I thought my car got stolen. So I call the police or whatever, or, you know, yes, the authorities. They come, the guy. We're standing, I'm like telling him, describing my car, which is a cyber truck. And I know that's alarming and it makes a lot of people sad and that's okay.

2:08But I'm describing, and it is, it's very, it's like driving like a molar filling for the Statue of Liberty. You just feel like you're driving this huge molar filling for some gigantic thing. But anyway, besides all that, I call the police. I'm telling the guy. Took a while. Waited probably 40 minutes. I'm telling the officer, explaining the vehicle and stuff. And I reach him my pants.

He can feel like these other boxers in the back, but we know who the fucking dog is, you know? And I looked at him like, I'm on your team, brother. You know what I'm saying?

23:55I'm just like, it just was fucking kind of a surprising moment. We're all going to a presidential inauguration. I don't know these people, you know? I don't know. I mean, I know John Shahidi really well. He's actually a close friend of mine who runs Happy Dead. And I know, who else was it? I, well, I paid for one of Evander's fights before, for sure, when they had early pay-per-view, I know. and um and i've paid for one of the uh paul's uh fights uh and i met jake and logan but i don't know him you know so anyway there we all are we're on a bus we get over by the capital and they say as soon as the thing ends we have six minutes to get out of the venue and back onto the bus before they're going to shut down certain roads and that was one of the biggest things all along the outside when i've been walking towards the hotel and everything it's probably 10 uh 10 to 30 degrees or 40 degrees or 34 6 7 degrees right it's not a ton of degrees but it's not it's not like no degrees but it's like uh some degrees you know what i'm saying so but there's military everywhere every fucking you even like you like there'd be military there's like swat team um you know police sheriffs um under like a marine um every there was people in hide it was like like i went to use a mailbox i opened it up it's a military guy in disguise dressed up like a um male thing like oh you know um he still took two of the letters for me so thank you um but yeah everything you just couldn't you got to be careful there was military everywhere so you couldn't piss outside kind of vibes you know um anyway so we're driving but all the roads there's like barricades everywhere there's like trucks that they've just brought in to park at all these intersections all around this capital area like like any corner you would pass on the way in because we'd circled the entire thing trying to find a way to get closer to this hotel so i hadn't had to walk just because it was so brisk out so the thing but there was some of them had cement barricades some of them just had like a big trucks some of them had su um war little war trucks or whatever it's like a little tank but with um and they made them for regular people but they were fucking sad it was like uh h hummers They had those real Hummers.

26:40They had, what else? There was things stopping everywhere, and there was military personnel all over or police personnel all over. So anyway, the bus ride takes a while. You've got to go through these certain streets. They have these big barricades set up, and then you have to kind of like turn the corner and then straighten your bus out to make it through these huge like kind of cage steel walls that they've put up so the bus can just fit right down the middle of the walls. Like the full intersection is, the full street is closed and it's just been narrowed to this one, like the middle lane kind of it.

27:18And so that took a while, like doing different turns. Anyway, we pull up outside of the Capitol, probably pretty far off. I'm not sure, maybe 400 yards. We start walking, it's a beautiful day, beautiful. I mean, like freezing cold, but just picturesque. The sun's hitting you. You can see the Capitol, the American flag. And it was exciting. All the officers, it seemed, they're all wearing like this, the hot, the cold, like head gear. You can just see their eyes or whatever and just their gun or whatever. And that's, and yeah, they look like all like kind of dark snowmen, like kind of like black snowmen, like a little bit.

28:01Because it was just, a lot of them was wearing SWAT gear tactical. They had everything. they had a gun handcuff uh billy club um uh ray-bans or whatever you know just uh pepper spray salt spray um just you know you didn't know what's going just you know one of them would just throw a grenade full of uh um lemon pepper you know if it got got really bad uh so anyway that's you have all the all these officers and everything you go inside let me think right so at the bottom oh there's all these bikes they parked all these bicycles and stuff kind of to make it like you had to go past them and it was a little bit of like a gauntlet kind of it was just odd the different things that they put in place to kind of make it odd to get into places so you get inside and then we walked along a hallway and then you start to see military like

29:02Marines, Army, colonels, generals,

29:08sergeants, staff sergeant, Sergeant Pepper, I think, and everybody in that bitch, right? They had, everybody was, there was, and they were standing at attention, you know, and some were at not attention, you know, the lazy ones or whatever, I don't know who they were, but they, you know, and some people were getting photos. i mean if you're rolling with conor mcgregor's they you know people's fucking topped in lot you know that's the most violent tallest leprechaun they ever made right there he's a savage man and so yeah and you got him in the paul's and so um it was kind of nice because i you know i was just uh under the radar they're all taller and bigger and so they have more um excitement i just kind of was you know um i was just you know i was kind of in awe of the situation my buddy um the wildfires got his home but i'll tell you this he had a fish tank uh and the fish in it survived which is pretty unbelievable but um that's man that's the you know that's just the power of nature and water it's been estimated that the damages so far from the California fires total more than$250 billion.

30:26The loss of life is immeasurable, and the state and city are still in shock.

Like it's for like, thanks whenever Christmas shopping starts, you know what I'm talking about? So they had that, it was that kind of energy. Everybody's running to get a seat type of energy and we weren't running, but we're kind of keeping a quick pace, you know?

So he's kind of the, you know, he's kind of the Asian John Jones, if you will, sort of. He, but he went to MIT. He's an interesting guy. Anyway, he is there. There was all, everybody else was governors, elected officials, rich people, like, you know, people that had cattle or gold, you know, or whatever.

34:27And some people don't even call it gold. you know at first a lot of times they called it rocks which is a crazy thing but i could easily see people calling it that and that's sad um anyway uh what am i talking about so we all sit down right we all sit down and it's a wait bro it is like you know and there's a lot of military you got to meet a lot of military folks so just to see all them in their dress garb you know i mean that was that was probably one of the coolest things you're in the capital and there's all everybody's in their garb and it's just very um regal very regal looking and uh yeah and people were amped and there was fun stuff and then every now and then you shake somebody's hand and they had a wet hand or whatever and you're like oh fuck you know somebody get this fellow bag of flour or somebody or just get him one of those pool chalks and let him just chalk his hand up before he shakes again before he meets somebody, you know.

35:31But, yeah, and so that kind of happened. We sat there for a while, probably 30 minutes. And so we all slipped off and just slunk out and got into a special area beneath some stairwells where a lot of the military was back there and they was drinking chicken broth. hot chocolate and coffee. And, the government had given them a little bag with a banana in it. You know, you're like, dear God, these people are putting their lives on the line, right? They're here to protect the president. And we're fucking somebody, I mean, and some of these bananas had been, I don't want to say they had been abused or whatever by their owner or whatever, but they had been trafficked.

36:15I don't want to say, or I don't know how they, but some of the bananas had, um, you know they're not you know they're they're not going to be put back in circulation i was surprised some of them were still in circulation and uh anyway um but the military personnel didn't care and uh and that was kind of a blast too just that was probably the highlight of the whole inauguration was seeing all the military folks from all different branches from police to um um like uh army navy swat uh sweat there was just some gay guy wearing a sweat shirt has sweat on it um who else they had even stolen valor even the people out there in stolen valor you were like you know you were it was an honor all of that just that was something great sorry this story's getting long um so anyway we got over there we're and we're just we hadn't eaten any breakfast right i hadn't and so you just i'm just slurping chicken broth and slurping hot cocoa you know and anyway so that was like a nice excursion from sitting there we go back to our seats and my chair was bad i had a bad chair the chair had been i don't know it was probably made in charna or whatever it's been one of those you know probably a chair um yeah it was a chair that shouldn't be allowed to chair they should check these chairs right They should breathalyze and whatever they should do.

37:43But they did whatever this chair, you know, probably knew somebody or whatever and got in the building. Anyway, it was kind of slagging a little. My chair was kind of like. So when I sit down, I had that fucking lean on me. You know what I'm saying? That's so the lean. That's so the lean. So a lot of and suddenly as soon as I sat like that, a lot of black people kind of nodded at me. Because once you have that lean on your buddy, it's a little bit of a kind of urban respect going on, you know. So I was like, OK, I'm in. I'm here. So we sit down. The congregation starts. The whole congregation, the whole evening starts.

38:20The inauguration starts. And it's very nice, man. I mean, it's just, you know, you're witnessing a piece of history and you get to be there. And it definitely felt like a lot of very regal people. And everybody was dressed very well. and just fancy. It was a diverse group, it felt like. I don't know if that's true. That's crazy to say that part. But it was nice. It was really nice. And just like, yeah, I just felt lucky to be there. Just to see it. You know, I mean, I was saying this this weekend on Twitter, but, you know, some countries, they can't vote. They don't have voting. You can't go vote.

39:03you just live and you feel like you don't have a say in how um in the template that you operate in or the the word the universe that you're set up and you don't have a you don't have a hand to raise ever um but but yeah so just it was just it was it was it was wild to see that it was wild to witness it and then just the little things just like everybody just watching like all the little things at the inauguration, just the little moments of little glances from the different people. And it's like this whole changing of the guard. And it's like this tag team. It's like tagging in, you know, instead of tagging in your partner, it's like tagging in your opponent, which is just such a wild thing to witness in a sport.

39:48If you look at politics, almost like a sport. And so we sat there, everything was going pretty smooth. And then at some point, my chair broke, right? The chair broke. Um, I felt, it fell. I just, it fell, right? I fell out. I don't know what to say it. The chair like might've, I don't know what happened. Right. But the chair fell and I fell and it was like, Oh dude, it was the worst, right? It was embarrassing because at first I thought, Oh, people thought I did this, right? Like I don't do, I don't like physical stuff uh i don't like that like i'm not good at that type of stuff falling out of a chair that type of shit right that's for fucking clowns or shitty mimes right like a like yeah that's for shitty mimes the shitty mime type shit i don't do that so the chair broke and then i was like oh man and sam altman looked at me the guy who made ai bro he looks at me like i was like oh god that dude's never going to come on the podcast um i was like dude design me a chair right now i was like design me some way to get out of this embarrassment um so that was kind of strange and then i got up and uh and anyway the thing carried on we snuck off one more time to get some more stuff because it got long you know some of the benediction got a little um you know they were up there rattling and shit and then trump came through he gave a very long speech in there you know i think addressed a lot of different things in there um that it was kind of like the b-sides like things he maybe didn't want to say in the actual you know uh main part but he said in there and then on the way back to the hotel our bus uh kept turning off it was um experience and breakage or whatever, or it was broken.

41:46So we got out and just walked like the last few blocks. And that was kind of hectic.

41:54Just because some of those people are pretty recognizable. And, you know, just a lot of people were coming up pictures and videoing and ask, you know, people from a different place. It was just a lot. It was like a lot of energy. And it was kind of a little scary, you know like i don't have security i'm not saying i need security but you're just out there you don't know what people are you know i'm saying you don't know you just don't know what's going on um so that was a little crazy got back to the hotel um and yeah went home went to my hotel which is a couple maybe a mile away or something took a nap for a few hours uh and then went to the ball later on.

42:34Um, and there was some issues about the chair, you know, I ended up like, well, here, let me tell about the ball. So the ball, I guess they had a bunch of different balls and I had got it. I got a ticket to one ball. Right. And it was very nice. It was called the starlight ball and it was beautiful in there. And I got dropped off. He had to get dropped off of blocks away. And then they had a very long, like snake walk that you had to go on to get to the door and it was probably maybe probably a 20 minute walk right and so it was cold out it was probably 25 degrees or something so you're walking out there and i didn't bring a coat right because i didn't know you know i didn't i didn't i didn't think i guess and so i didn't think about a coat and i didn't have a coat and so we finally get up to the front um and they let you in and it was beautiful you know it's nice it's elegant the fucking they got curtains they got carpet the curtains were some curtains was 80 feet long 90 45 75 feet long baby they had curtains that had carpet on them like these bitches they had you know they had everything in there they had a the craziest thing i saw they had a ceiling fan it must have been 150 feet up in the air dude i was like what how would you do it and so i i kind of was like looking for the switch for that low key for a while um let me see inside of the ball i got to see some people that i knew joe rogan was in there um mayor oh uh or um ernie johnson who's the guy speaker of the house maybe mike johnson mike johnson baby you got to talk to him he's from shreveport louisiana he had a great sense of humor we got to joke around a little bit he had a few of his children with him got to talk with them um wayne gretzky was in there the great one i saw him dude wayne gretzky had lost uh his tooth in there my tooth got chipped right my tooth my tooth got chipped or something on a hard uh appetizer right so wayne's in there i told him that he goes like that showed me his mouth he's missing a whole tooth dude you know runaway train never going back he had that bitch just gone dude i mean he's a hockey player so yeah um but then they're like looking on the floor for the tooth so for probably 10 minutes i'm helping him and his wife and somebody else like a i don't know if it's a dentist or whatever but a dental assistant basically i think it was just a dude that liked guys or whatever but he was trying to help look for it and then um so we're looking for of Wayne Gretzky's tooth, okay?

45:13And I think he's like, yeah, I think he, at one point I thought he said he had a couple, he usually kept a couple extra on him, you know? Because this is a hockey guy. These guys, you know, you'll go to bed, they'll have their wedding ring and a tooth on the nightstand. You know, that's just the kind of guys they are, you know? So, yeah, he just had that empty net up top, and it was, but it was hilarious, dude. We laughed, and we took a nice photo together, me him mike johnson um and then i started getting through some social anxiety in there that was a little bit hectic and what else was i mean it's just like a couple thousand people you know and you can't be like hey have you seen wayne gretzky's tooth you know like so i would do that a couple times i was like yeah have you seen wayne gretzky's tooth you know and i think a lot of people thought it was a euphemism for something or whatever it was like um kind of like uh something like that but um yeah anyway we i don't know if they found it or not i gotta touch base with them but what a legend dude what a legend bro that was awesome so that kind of made my night i think uh what else i saw tony hinchcliffe and jeff ross and we joked around for about a half hour over by the desserts the things that i did not enjoy to be honest with you no judgment but these are just things that what it was like there was only probably 25 chairs in the whole place for probably i don't know maybe it's 2 000 people in there or something 1 600 people um right is that the right amount of people uh maybe 1 000 people so they only probably uh they might have had 40 40 chairs right so there was you it was like if you saw a chair it was like it was it got squid gave me in there dude it was very if you even heard an ass cheek leave a seat you could hear that you could hear it at 40 paces you could hear an ass cheek leave a leave a uh seat see people rush in fly in just first for that damn 18 square inches of real estate boy for that ass real estate maybe that chair um who else sean o 'brien i saw the teamsters union president who came on to the podcast once.

47:25Who else did I get to see or not see? Oh, Ben Shapiro. I saw I didn't get to talk to him. Jake and Logan, I saw. I'm leaving some people out, but it was just a lot. And I was kind of burnt out. There was just like a lot of meeting people and it was just a lot of energy. So then at one point I ended up leaving. And at the same time, Lex Friedman was leaving. He does podcasting. I'd never seen him before. and we talked we walked for about 20 minutes and then caught an uber for about 15 minutes and uh just laughed had a good chat um yeah and that was uh that was it that was the whole deal i didn't get to see um i didn't get to meet anybody of the cabinet or anything like that and i didn't get to see Barron Trump.

Read the full transcript

48:14I didn't get to see Barron, bro. B-dog, bro. You hear me? I didn't get to see Barron Trump. That would have been something nice to meet that man. That's a young man you want to meet. You know what I'm saying? He just, he's that, you know, he just is. He's that freaking seer. He's that seer, baby. He's the Lord's lookout, baby. You know what I'm saying? He is. He's that crow's nest of society right there. And so, yeah, that was probably a bummer. I didn't get to see Bobby Kennedy Jr., who's a friend of mine. That would have been really nice. I thought Melania looked really nice and gangster at the same time.

49:00Beautiful gangster vibe. I got to see J.D. Vance's wife. Just see her. That's really beautiful. I think she's the first Indian second lady in time ever that we've ever had, Indian American. And if you've never met an Indian person, go meet one this year. I say that wholeheartedly. I met a couple Indian people last year and I'm still enjoying the benefits of that. And it's great. That's been great. So if you haven't met someone like that, that's a great person to meet. What else? There was some. Oh, Tim Kennedy, I got to see. I just met him a week before. And I wish I couldn't find his number. I was going to try to meet up with him.

49:47It was so hard to go from one thing to the next. I was like, once you got somewhere, you were kind of there. There was just a lot. It was very tough to kind of move about in the city. What else? You all know I like to keep things cool, even in the winter. and nothing's cooler than a Blue Cube cold plunge. I'm fortunate enough to have one at home. And let me tell you, it's like baptizing your soul, but be getting that little crispy bucket, baby.

Yeah, and I think my biggest takeaway was just that things, it's just changing, you know. It's like just that things are kind of different. you know like i couldn't believe that they that we got to be at something like that but i think that's just how the world is getting everything's kind of evening out you know i don't really believe that there's like it doesn't really feel like it almost feels like there's not even really famous people everybody feels a little famous because everybody is able to kind of promote themselves if they want um you know what used to be like media that felt like it was kept from people or controlled it just feels like um it's just there now and you can make your own decisions based on uh how you're consuming or who you're consuming stuff through i guess um i don't know i guess i don't have like a lot of macro level pictures pictures of that kind of stuff but just to get to meet sam altman dude the a the ai guy like what um and then there was just more just like yeah it was fascinating I wish I had had uh I was kind of burnt out I would I it was very magnificent and had like a um you know a Cinderella type energy and stuff um I'm just glad that I got to go to it I couldn't believe that um there wasn't on there was a thing where you know I thought Jake and Logan I thought Logan and Jake were messing with I mean, they had videotaped, they were vlogging from the get, right?

54:36And I never spent much time around them, you know, and I know that they're really successful. And they're, I mean, they're tough guys. Those are tough guys, right? No doubt. So anyway, they put a clip of, I fell out the chair, dude. And I didn't do, I didn't know, I knew that the chair had been bad. the chair was faulty it was a faulty chair i don't know if that was cia or whatever no idea no idea how you know if they there was a plan there but anyway they the chair was faulty but then afterwards somebody said that they were fucking with the chair you know um and so part of my brain was like oh were they did they do something with it to egg it on you know like you know what I'm saying if you see somebody who's like leaning on a crutch or whatever and then you bar their crutch you know you leave town you know because you got priors or whatever and then they fucking they take that L baby that gravity L baby they fall so I just didn't know so I got in kind of this skeptical place um and I should have just checked in with Logan about it I guess but they were recording everything so I didn't know if they were going to record it or whatever and I just I hadn't been around him that much you know and i didn't i think i get nervous around like vlogging type of things because it feels like um you're there somebody could be setting you up or something i'm just not that familiar with that universe uh and then later in the day um logan paul's made a video where he said uh he made a challenge about uh oh he said if i was going to put you through something i'd put you through a table you know not a chair because he is a wrestler he's a um, WWE wrestling.

56:24I believe he's been a champion too. Hasn't he? Let me see.

56:33Yeah. He was the WWE champion from November, 2023 to August 3rd, 2024. So, um, yeah. So I thought he said, you know, so I thought that he, I thought that he wanted that, that, that he was, you know, then I thought he was creating like an online hype about it. You know, I thought he was calling out the rat king. And if you want the smoke, baby, I'll fill your lungs. You hear me? Because I'm going to give you the truth, baby. And I'm going to give you the trauma. Name the time and the place and the place and the time. Because I got a clock and a globe and an axe to grind. From Alaska to Nebraska.

57:13From Maine to Fort Wayne. So that's where I was at. and then uh we ended up talking in the morning and um i just i should have probably communicated that was my my my part in it was i didn't communicate better and they weren't they they didn't they didn't do anything um they were recording the chair fell and uh it was ridiculous and then they weren't trying to uh they weren't trying to wrassle i used to watch you wrassle they weren't trying to wrestle and so yeah so no hard feelings there um yeah some just self-responsibility i think it was just a little bit of a miscommunication just not knowing each other maybe not knowing each other's energy some um and i'll say this too honestly i had a great time hanging out with them because we also had had a great time that weekend they were probably two of the guys um yeah we just uh just joking around i got to see how they interact with their mother and i thought that that was very sweet to be honest with you uh no home no ditty or whatever you know just just like the way um and it was just all real genuine you know you could tell that they have uh yeah you could just tell the affinity that they have for their mother and and the same for them because a lot of families that grow up um where the children are famous and stuff they don't have the same uh fortune they don't have the same good fortune you know and um so that was really cool actually it was i thought i admired that about them um yeah some this honky zen monkey rolled up on me at the hotel at one point and was kind of just like he was just kind of trying to say stuff to me and just he was drunk right and he was just kind of kept spitting a lot and it was just a lot for me and he was just his his energy was super clear he was like right up in my face kind of and i told him i didn't want to really talk i was just it had been a long day or whatever and then he kept he kept coming up and uh logan uh and jake both kind of just formed just put a damn trump wall right there in front of me uh and um i didn't need to be rescued but i'm kind of glad they stepped in because it could have got a little weird you know i was kind of my i was on edge a little um you know i just hadn't hit a meeting you know just shit like that i you know i just gotta take care of my own shit a little bit better but um so yeah what i'm saying is and nobody asked me to say this you know uh we just rogan and i had a call the other day that shit was just confusion and um yeah that that was just confusion and then uh yeah I'm actually glad I got to um I'm glad I got to get to know them better to be honest with you it was kind of a joy of the weekend and um what else was nice I mean it was all just crazy just to even even just to like stand around a Vander Holyfield and you're just like, welcome to be around him.

1:00:30Right. There's not like he doesn't have, there's no, neither one of y 'all needs to walk off. Cause you're both in the same group. It was like, you're at a field trip. That was it. That's what it was like. It was like when you were kids at a field trip and it was like, okay, this is the B group and this is your chaperone or this is the L group and this is your chaperone. And so that was us. We had eight or nine of us. We had our chaperone. Um, and we were just, you know, we were just learning about, civics and getting to see some of it firsthand. And we really did like laugh. It was a fucking blast, dude.

1:01:01And yeah, I think maybe part of me, I wish they'd have asked if they'd have put the clip of falling to the chair out or whatever, but in the end, it's okay. It's all good. You know, I don't have any, any ill thoughts towards them. You know, um, I, I, uh, yeah, I thought that they were, I thought they were cool guys. Maybe I need to quit saying that dude, obviously they're both married and I like women. But, um, but yeah, I kind of wish we would have fucking took that. I kind of wish we would have took it to the ring. You know, I think there was a part of me that that was hoping, you know, cause you know, the rat King, baby, I'll put him in the fricking mozzarella wheelchair, baby.

1:01:38You feel me? My finishing move is the tax evasion, baby. So, um, but that's every kid's dream to get in there and get body slammed and lose a vertebra, you know in a sold out arena in charlotte i mean who you know we can all dream um but yeah i'm just glad i got to go to the inauguration i would have gone you can't miss it you couldn't miss it if you got to go and i just feel lucky that i got to go and so thank you to alex bruschowitz for taking me um for john shahidi my buddy who's uh been super supportive and helps me a lot and helped me get to do the political podcast last year. And just to learn about some things that I care about, you know, and just different politicians and how it works.

1:02:29It's like, I've learned a lot in the past year, to be honest with you. I think anyway, you know, I think I have. And so yeah, wish I'd have gotten to meet Barron. Wish that I gotten to see Bobby Kennedy. Some people gave me a hard time about going to the inauguration or supporting a party or whatever. I don't think about it. You know, I support. I do what I want to do for me. And you can do what you want to do for you, you know. But nobody owns my support. Nobody owns my support for anything, I don't think. You know, except maybe my family. And even then, I'll keep it away from them sometimes.

1:03:17So I don't know about what else. Let's take a call that came in. Here we go. Hello, Mr. Theo Vaughn. This is Judy. Hey, Judy!

1:03:33Sorry, my buddy used to say that all the time. Carry on, Judy. Onward, thank you for calling. Tripport, Louisiana. Oh, yes. Mike Johnson country, and you know he's Speaker of the House. and I liked his attitude. I liked his energy, you know, and I'm curious to see what this whole new camp, what they do in there. I'm curious to see, you know, cause it's a motley, it's a motley group that they got going in there. And I want to get to meet some of them. Um, I want to get to talk to some of them and learn some stuff, you know, and also ask them, ask them some promises. You're going to do this. You can do this.

1:04:08And then we can see if we can hold them to it. If we get to keep podcasting for years, we'll be able to hold them to it. Hey, you said you were going to get to do this. Why didn't it happen? Or why did it happen? You know, so that kind of stuff really intrigues me. You know, are we going to get lobbyists and foreign countries and APEX and all these different people out from interfering with our candidates and interfering with our lobbies? Or how does it work? And also, am I just delusional? And I just don't know the whole system. and if that's the case, then educate me on it. Because there's also just a cost to doing business in some things, you know?

1:04:47Like sometimes there's a cost to doing business. You know, like you could go set up a fruit stand or something or a little watermelon stand or something, a little banana shop or something on the corner of a street. You could do that. But you have to pay a permit, right? You have to, it's just the cost of doing business. So sometimes I wonder if there's, you know, what the truth is out there. I want to learn more about that. Let's hear more. Sorry. I've called you a few times. Anyhow, I just want to say congratulations. I'm so happy for you that you had the opportunity to go to D.C. on Inauguration Day.

1:05:27I had actually said something to my husband over the weekend that I sure hope Theovan goes to Washington to experience Inauguration Day. Well, thanks, ma 'am, or young lady. Yeah, thank you, miss. I appreciate that. Yeah, Theovan went to Washington, I guess. Fievel goes west or whatever. Fievel goes to Section 8. That's going to be, maybe I'll be able to be in that. yeah but Fievel was a mouse dude and he went west and we're the rats baby and we went east so but thank you for thinking of me yeah I was thinking about that too I was like how can I not go you know so yeah thank you let's hear more miss because you my friend are so worthy and deserving to have that opportunity countless countless of this are so grateful.

1:06:20Thank you for going. You truly deserve that. I was so excited for you. And I just want to thank you again for just having truly the best podcast that I get so hyped to listen to. And you were so deeply loved. Well, thank you. Thank you. That's sweet of you to say that. That's nice of you to say. You know, I did. I thought about my teachers from growing up. I I didn't steal, but I took a couple extra napkins because I know my best friend's mom is going to want one. My mom's going to want one probably.

1:07:03Yeah, there's a teacher or two if I get to see him again that I would like to give him to. Just little things like that. Yeah, and to see things you like and don't like. You get to witness like, okay, there's some stuff here that I feel like this. There's some stuff here that I feel like that. uh yeah i felt like um i don't know i just couldn't believe it you know to be real honest with you i just couldn't believe it you know i just couldn't believe that i was sitting in there and i'm at the damn you know this is like the they're doing the the inauguration you know and um and then the chair broke and i'm like oh

1:07:52and you're on the floor and you're like oh this isn't good and then you just i thought i'd i was like please let me fall through to another world or whatever like i looked over at sam altman and i was like designer you know i was like send me into the matrix right now, man. You know, don't make me have to just get up and just be human. So that was a lot. I don't know. Was it a lot? But anyway, it is just is what it is, man. And the best part of it was some rich lady scoffed at me. It's like, whoa.

1:08:29As if she had to watch one of her own dog's shit. You know, those people that are really rich, They have someone else walk their dogs. So they never really know that their dogs shit or whatever. She was like, Oh God, it's like grabbed her husband's arm or something. I was like, yeah, you got it right. You sitting in the wrong section. You in section eight, boo boo. These chairs busted as hell brother. So maybe we'll start making our chairs in fucking America again. I don't know. Maybe we'll start taking some pride in the things that we built. that we build, you know? I don't know. I wonder what the future's gonna be like.

1:09:10You know, I wonder. And if we're strong enough, man, it's weird. It's like the things that I feel like are bad for me, sometimes it's hard to stay away from. It's hard to keep using them. You know, it's just, it's interesting. But I'm just happy I get to be alive and play the game every day. Sometimes I play it pretty good. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes my attitude sucks. like yeah dude I was at the the ball or whatever and the desserts dude I was just I wanted to get a drink or something and then I was like I'm not drinking you know I'm uh I'm not doing it I just been I was just like I was kind of going through it and so I fucking said I'm gonna get me some desserts right because sometimes if you want to drink if you to to to to stop that cur that craving you get you some desserts boy you know so I tongue down a couple petty fours baby let me bring up a picture one of them god they're good if they're beautiful they're good if they're good but they when they're not they're just a waste of your fucking calories 84 and i'm the kind of guy i'll put something in my mouth and if i decide once it's in there that it ain't worth it you gonna get that shit back honey i'm gonna i'll put that shit in a napkin baby and hide a little doggy bag somewhere behind a plant or something i don't give a damn i'll fucking feed that bitch to a sofa a cushion after I take it out of my mouth.

1:10:28I don't give a damn. Because I don't eat bullshit sugars, dog. A petit four, also known as mygnardesis, mygnardesis is a small bite-sized confectionary or savory appetizer. The name is French petit four, meaning small oven. That's small oven, baby. You know what I'm saying, huh? Damn, boy. And Wayne Gretzky lost that freaking, he was spitting chicklets, dude. Shout out to them. He had a, I'm upstairs, baby. He fucking, the Lord installed a window on his smile, baby. He had that thing going. And shout out Wayne, man. We talked about his family and I'm just clowning. He knows he had a great sense of humor.

1:11:15He's like, yeah, usually I got a couple extra I keep on me. Oh, but just moments like that, you're talking to the greatest hockey player in the world and he's asking you how you're doing. And then you're just helping somebody look for a tooth in a fucking nice room. It's just like, it's just the shit you kind of always dreamed about, I guess, you know?

1:11:36Let me see if there's one more question. Any questions you guys had, Nick or Zach? I don't think so. Are you looking for a voicemail? Can you hear me? You notice anything on your mind about the election? Was there anything? you made a point you post on instagram about how you think we need more than two parties that was interesting yeah i think that's something you know i think that's a big thing for me is that hey how do you get more parties because i feel like if they're you know if you if they're just we need more teams it'd be more exciting you know and i know there are more people are like there's the green party i know that Let me see how many political, just so we know, some of you guys are like, this idiot, you don't know.

1:12:30The electoral system in the U.S. called, is it called a two-party system? That means two parties dominate the political field. The two largest parties.

1:12:45Okay, minor parties. There's the obviously. So then you have Democratic and Republican. Those are your two major. Your minor parties are the Libertarian Party was founded December 11th, 1972. As of March 2021, it is the largest third party in the United States. Claiming nearly 700 ,000 registered voters across 28 states. The Green Party, you know what I'm saying? Blow it in the air, baby, that's sticky, icky. The Green Party has been active as a third party since the 1980s. You know what I'm talking about. Cheech and Chong, homie. That's what's up, baby. Dope as your love. The party first gained widespread public attention during Ralph Nader's second presidential run in 2000.

1:13:32Okay. Okay.

1:13:36And then the Constitution Party is a national conservative political party in the United States. It was founded in the U.S. tax as the U.S. taxpayers party in 1992 by Howard Phillips. There's also the Alliance Party is a centrist. American political party was formed in 2018 and registered in 2019. And the Vermont Progressive Party. So that those are three, four, five other parties. That's pretty cool. I would love to just talk to Bernie Sanders again. You know, that would be something nice this year to learn a little bit more about some stuff. Um, yeah, I'm just, I think I've gotten more curious this year.

1:14:15I feel more curious. Um, and then just, yeah, some things I want to do this year, try and be better to my friends.

1:14:26Uh, I think I can do it and just take more time. It's not in my own world and think about other people's worlds. That's the one thing that keeps me. Sometimes I just get stuck in my own world. And then it's, it's not that I'm not thinking about others. it's just I'm thinking about me too much or some things I have to do right um so there's some goals of mine anyway sorry to ramble anything else any other Nick did you have a question anything come to mind I know Zach had it I didn't I just thought it was kind of a beautiful moment it did feel like things are changing good or bad yeah that's the thing sometimes change it's good you don't know you know it's like bobby kennedy uh people did it people said he was a witch doctor whatever people said he was um what were some of the things you heard oh he worked for frankenstein you would hear all of that or whatever um you know people would say he has a bus full of like frogs with band-aids on him and shit like that and like bears that are missing arms or whatever and yeah yeah he's definitely you know he's had some weird instances with some roadkill i'll agree to that.
