|
What's up? | |
| What's up brother? | ||
| Well, well, well. | ||
| Well, well, well. | ||

If it isn't old, Horseworm Rogan. | |
| I'm glad you're, I'm glad you're well man. | ||
| Bro, do I have to sue CNN? I know, do you? | ||
| They're making shit up. | ||
| They keep saying, I'm taking horse dewormer. | ||
| I literally got it from a doctor. | ||
| It's an American company. | ||
| They won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings. | ||
| And CNN is saying, I'm taking horse dewormer. | ||
| They must know that that's a lie. | ||
| There's a lot of people saying it. | ||
| Right, but a lot of people can say it. | ||
| The internet says it, who cares? | ||
| But CNN is saying it. | ||
| Jim Acosta. | ||
| I meant like USA Today, a few other places. | ||
| And they're talking about ivermectin, right? | ||
| So what, because I don't know, I just saw so much news about you. | ||
| I mean, I would talk to you and check on you and see if you're all right. | ||
| And you're like, you threw the kitchen sink at it, you said, which was stuff that, you know, you took IV drips and was it mono what? | ||
| Monoclonal antibodies. | ||
| And what is monoclonal antibodies? | ||
| It's the shit they gave Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, so who said, or did you already want ivermectin? | ||
| Well, I have this guy on, Dr. Pierre Corey, and he is, what is the organization? | ||
| He's from Frontline COVID Critical Care Workers. | ||
| He's a... | ||
| Well-established doctors, treated thousands of people with COVID, and early on in the pandemic, they found some good efficacy with Ivermectin. | ||
| Frontline 19 Critical Care Alliance. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I had him on and, you know, he had talked to me about... | ||
| He's not the only doctor that told me to take it. | ||
| Multiple doctors told me to take it. | ||
| It's supposed to have... | ||
| What is the exact thing it's supposed to do? | ||
| There's something that I highlighted. | ||
| And this is, obviously, I'm not a doctor. | ||
| It says, Ivermectin was found to be a blocker of viral replicase, R-E-P-L-I-C-A-S-E, protease, and, I don't know what this word is, human TMPRSS2, I don't know. | ||
| But what they didn't highlight is that I got better. | ||
| Yeah, you got better quickly. | ||
| They tried to make it seem as if, like... | ||
| I'm doing some wacky shit that's completely ineffective. | ||
| Right. | ||
| CNN was saying that I'm a distributor of misinformation. | ||
| Also, that was the other thing that happened in Tokyo, in Japan, which is apparently they're very conservative about the medication that they use. | ||
| And the medications that they endorse. | ||
| But the Tokyo Medical Association chairman held a live press conference recommending ivermectin to all doctors for all COVID patients. | ||
| So what's going on with the, like the, you know, it's kind of hard to figure out what's the truth in a lot of things. | ||
| But with regard to this, people go, It's insane to take ivermectin. | ||
| You see it everywhere. | ||
| Everyone's like, this is wild. | ||
| Don't take this shit. | ||
| And then you have the head of the fucking Tokyo whatever medical commission saying, take ivermectin. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man. | ||
| There's a lot of speculation. | ||
| One of the speculations involves the emergency use authorization for the vaccines. | ||
| That in order for there to be an emergency use authorization, there has to be no treatment. | ||
| For a disease. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, because there is this treatment in ivermectin, and there's other treatments too. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because of this, there's a lot of pushback against potential treatments and pretending that they don't really work or that they're conspiracy theories. | ||
| This is the grand conspiracy, right? | ||
| The grand conspiracy is the pharmaceutical companies are all in cahoots to try to make anybody who takes this stuff look crazy. | ||
| But what's crazy is, look how better I got. | ||
| I got better pretty quick, bitch. | ||
| Let's go to your whole experience. | ||
| So you get back from a trip, right? | ||
| And is it that night? | ||
| Do you arrive home and know? | ||
| Or on your way home, you're like, I don't feel so great. | ||
| Well, Saturday, here's what happened. | ||
| Friday night, we went out and got hammered. | ||
| Went out and played pool until 3.30 in the morning, had a bunch of drinks. | ||
| Had a bunch of drinks at the show. | ||
| At the show, I think I had two drinks, and then I had like four afterwards. | ||
| So we were pretty lit. | ||
| And it was 3.30 in the morning. | ||
| Exhausted, plane travel, you know, flew that day from... | ||
| I guess Fort Lauderdale was the first show, then that was Tampa, and then last show was Orlando. | ||
| That night, I was worn out. | ||
| Friday night, you know, because it's 3.30 in the morning, and I was like, oh, I gotta crash. | ||
| And then I woke up in the morning, and I was definitely hungover, but I was also just feeling a little out of it. | ||
| Just a little, just a little, just not good. | ||
| It's hard to describe. | ||
| If I had COVID, it was just like beginning stages. | ||
| But I thought it was a hangover. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which kind of confuses the way, how you can read it. | ||
| So drank a lot of water, ate, took a bunch of vitamins, went to sleep, got up for the show, felt good. | ||
| No drinks that night. | ||
| And then that night we flew back. | ||
| And so just feeling worn out. | ||
| You know, pretty normal, but worn out. | ||
| And then when I got home, I was like, man, something just feels off. | ||
| So I told my wife, you know, you should probably keep away from me. | ||
| Let me isolate. | ||
| Luckily, we have a big house. | ||
| I isolated. | ||
| And in the middle of the night, I was sweating. | ||
| You know, I would get fevers, and I just wasn't feeling good. | ||
| And you knew it then? | ||
| I woke up in the morning, I knew it. | ||
| By the time in the morning, I was like, something's going on. | ||
| Let's see what it is. | ||
| It was 90-whatever percent sure it was COVID. So morning I got tested, turned out positive, and then... | ||
| And this is Sunday? | ||
| Mm-hmm, Sunday. | ||
| So Sunday you find out you're positive, and then that day you feel sick, right? | ||
| You're just in bed, relaxed, resting. | ||
| Yeah, that day, headache, sick, weak. | ||
| Do you immediately... | ||
| This is why I hadn't asked you yet. | ||
| Did you have a plan in place in your head for like, if I get COVID, I would do these? | ||
| So when you find out you're positive, you start reaching out for these treatments? | ||
| Yeah, I already had it in place. | ||
| You did? | ||
| Yeah, I was already ready to go. | ||
| And then you start taking them that day? | ||
| Yeah, I got it. | ||
| I got all the stuff that I needed. | ||
| Took it that day. | ||
| And then Monday, I felt pretty fucking good. | ||
| And I was taking vitamin IV drips every day. | ||
| High dose of vitamin C, vitamin D, and NAD as well. | ||
| What is the NAD stuff? | ||
| Because I hear that. | ||
| It's a good question. | ||
| The word. | ||
| Try to say the word. | ||
| Pull it up so we can just read it because it's very complicated. | ||
| But what NAD does is essentially it lengthens your telomeres. | ||
| Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. | ||
| Yes, that's it. | ||
| So it's a coenzyme central to metabolism found in all living cells. | ||
| NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. | ||
| One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other nicotinamide. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Anyway, I've taken that stuff in the past. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In IV drips. | ||
| It's super uncomfortable. | ||
| It makes your guts feel like they're getting smushed. | ||
| Like you have to do it real slow. | ||
| You do it over like two hours. | ||
| For the drip? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or you get really high and you can fucking blaze through it. | ||
| I hold the world record. | ||
| Not the world record. | ||
| The record that they ever had a drip hydration for someone doing it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I did it in 10 minutes. | ||
| You're supposed to do it in like two hours plus. | ||
| You did it in 10 minutes that day? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, another time. | |
| This time I didn't fuck around. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because I was doing it in 10 minutes to see how fast I could do it. | ||
| My concern when I spoke to you was just, will you please fucking rest? | ||
| That's what I texted you. | ||
| I was like, no hill runs, no fucking kettlebells, and don't wrestle any fucking cattle today. | ||
| Just rest. | ||
| I did. | ||
| And you're like, I'm going to rest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to rest. | |
| I rested. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I rested. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I didn't do shit but watch TV. I actually enjoyed the first couple days because I was like, this is a nice, like a legit, solid excuse where I don't have to do anything. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Which never comes up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That was like when the pandemic started back in March last year, where it was like, no, you have to cancel your dates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like, all right, it'll be like a nice week off. | |
| Sure. | ||
| Two weeks to slow the spread. | ||
| Yeah, let's fucking chill out. | ||
| Yeah, so... | ||
| But, you know, after I did this and I hit it with the NAD and the high-dose vitamin C, I think it was 10,000 milligrams of vitamin C in the IV drip, which is like very... | ||
| It's very effective. | ||
| It goes right into your bloodstream, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| After that and the monoclonal antibodies and all the other stuff... | ||
| Literally on Monday, I felt pretty fucking good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's pretty fast, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty fast. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Mine, when I got COVID, I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I thought it was the opioid withdrawals, of which they told me, they're like, you're going to feel like shit when you get off of these. | ||
| Like the flu, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They said, you're going to get emotional and you're going to feel terrible. | ||
| And I was like, okay. | ||
| And I got off of them like on a Saturday. | ||
| I stopped taking them after like two weeks. | ||
| And then on Monday, I think it was Monday or Tuesday, I had PT and OT back to back. | ||
| And afterwards, I was like, man, I feel terrible. | ||
| What is OT? Occupational therapy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the difference? | |
| Above the waist is kind of the way they tell you. | ||
| P.T.'s below the waist, O.T.'s above the waist. | ||
| So they were treating my knee for P.T. and then the O.T. was like the arm and hand stuff. | ||
| I did them back to back, like in their hour each. | ||
| And I'm all fucked up. | ||
| So they're like, yeah, of course you're tired and shit. | ||
| Like, take a nap. | ||
| I slept for like three hours. | ||
| And they're like, God damn. | ||
| And I, and here's the thing, it occurred to nobody that I had COVID. The next day I'm like, I have diarrhea, my shoulders, like my traps, neck, so achy. | ||
| I was like, ugh. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, he's just fucking worn out from the therapy and getting off of the opiates and everything and And then the next day, a little better, but still shitty. | ||
| And the third day, I was like, I feel better. | ||
| And the fourth day, I was like, I feel fine. | ||
| So that was kind of like my window. | ||
| And it was the fourth day where they were like, do you want to take a COVID test? | ||
| I was like, for what? | ||
| They're like, oh, for when you felt like shit three days ago? | ||
| And I go, yeah, okay. | ||
| And so I took the COVID test. | ||
| And my favorite is that they're like, do you want same-day results? | ||
| And I go, yeah. | ||
| And they go, it's expensive. | ||
| And I go, this fucking hospital stays expensive. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| This is thousands of dollars a day. | ||
| You think I don't want to spend $100 more to find out today? | ||
| So I said, yeah, let's do same-day. | ||
| And then they test it. | ||
| And at the end of the day, I go, where's my result? | ||
| And they're like, we don't know. | ||
| So the next day, I'm going home. | ||
| And it's a Saturday. | ||
| And they're taking me home. | ||
| And I was like, hey, whatever happened to my fucking COVID test? | ||
| And now I feel, like, totally fine. | ||
| And they go, uh, I don't know, I'm gonna call the lady that took the test, and I was like, what the fuck? | ||
| This is so crazy! | ||
| So, I get home, I watch a movie with my kids, and the email goes ding, and I open it, and it says positive. | ||
| That's how I found out. | ||
| Did you infect the kids? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, we didn't test them. | ||
| They just never felt it? | ||
| They were just fine. | ||
| Didn't bring it up? | ||
| Never said anything. | ||
| Yeah, my one kid, all she got was, like, a minor headache. | ||
| And the other one, it was a little worse, but she's one of those kids that, like, when she gets sick, she wants you to know I'm sick. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| My one kid doesn't give a fuck. | ||
| Like, she's... | ||
| These guys... | ||
| Out of the box, they're so different. | ||
| They're so different. | ||
| So crazy. | ||
| This morning, I was working out, and my older kid came in to the gym at home, naked, bent over, and goes, look at my ass! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like... | |
| Yeah, I see it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he goes, look at it! | |
| And I was like, I see it. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here, man. | ||
| He's like, do you see my ass? | ||
| And I go, yeah, I see your ass, man. | ||
| They both are in that thing. | ||
| We're like, my three-year-old, he's like, last week, he goes, there's no school today. | ||
| And I go, really? | ||
| And he goes, yeah. | ||
| Teacher said no school. | ||
| I go, the teacher said no school? | ||
| It was like fucking Wednesday. | ||
| I go, really? | ||
| Should I call you? | ||
| He goes, don't do that. | ||
| I was like, he's already like lying about going to school. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's three. | |
| That's hilarious! | ||
| Don't do that! | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| You know what he's been saying since he was two? | ||
| If he's eating something like ice cream, you go, can I have a bite of that? | ||
| He'll go, it's sour. | ||
| Like, he learned that sour is undesirable. | ||
| Oh, that's hilarious! | ||
| And then if he has a toy that he's playing with, and you go, can I play with that? | ||
| He goes, it's broken. | ||
| Like, you don't want to play with this. | ||
| Is this the one who calls you Tom? | ||
| No, the show me, look at my ass, calls me Tom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Yeah, hey Tom. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| He is wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's funny. | |
| He's fucking that person. | ||
| This kid comes in the room with a bucket hat, knee socks, and he's like licking a lollipop. | ||
| He's like, what are you doing today, Tom? | ||
| I'm like, who the fuck are you, man? | ||
| You look like you're playing a funk band in the 70s. | ||
| A funk band. | ||
| Yeah, he's just fucking so much personality, that kid, man. | ||
| Well, imagine growing up with two comedians from parents, you know, where everything is always just trying to get the laugh. | ||
| It's constant, you know? | ||
| The cursing thing, you know, it is wild. | ||
| Is it a problem? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And I've been like, we correct them all the time, but, you know, they fight all, you know. | ||
| The older one, he'll grab him by the face. | ||
| I'm like, don't hit his face. | ||
| And he's like slapping up and jumping on his head and shit. | ||
| I'm like, what are you doing, man? | ||
| And like, they were fighting the other day and I separated them. | ||
| And the older kid goes, if I see you in school together tomorrow, I'm not going to say hi to you when you're in the fucking line. | ||
| I go, hey, don't say that. | ||
| And then the little guy goes, fucking line. | ||
| There's like no hope, you know. | ||
| They just, yeah. | ||
| Well, once they see your special, too, they're like, this motherfucker gets paid to swear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's telling me to swear. | ||
| He swears in front of the whole world. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Thank God we're not there yet. | ||
| It'll be a nightmare when we get there. | ||
| My kids have never seen me perform, but they did get to peak backstage. | ||
| Not at a giant place, though. | ||
| It was at the Improv in Irvine. | ||
| You don't think they've snuck a peak on Netflix yet? | ||
| Because they're older kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're savvy. | ||
| Probably that. | ||
| Yeah, the 13 year old's probably done that. | ||
| But I mean they haven't seen it live like they haven't seen like a like an audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| The older ones certainly has but the young ones. | ||
| I've been hanging out with my parents a good bit lately. | ||
| My dad. | ||
| So like a month ago I get a series of texts that are photos That is clearly somewhere on the human body, but it's so punched in, I don't know what I'm looking at. | ||
| I'm like, what is this? | ||
| And it's like three photos in a row. | ||
| I'm like, what is this? | ||
| And then he calls me, he goes, did you see what I sent you? | ||
| And I go, yeah, what is that? | ||
| He goes, that's between my scrotum and my anus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I go, what the fuck, man? | |
| And he's like, I got an infection down there. | ||
| And I go, why are you sending me photos? | ||
| He's like, so you can see what I'm talking about. | ||
| I go, you can just say it. | ||
| But you don't even know what you're looking at. | ||
| I don't know what I'm looking at. | ||
| I'm like, what is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then my mother's like, he makes me take pictures. | |
| And I show them to him and he goes, that's not good enough. | ||
| Take another one. | ||
| So he's like holding his legs up like a child, changing a diaper. | ||
| And my mother is snapping photos of an infection on his taint. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| And then he's like, they had to cut something out of me. | ||
| And sew it up. | ||
| And I'm like, all right. | ||
| Cut something out of his taint? | ||
| Yeah, he had an infection, he said there. | ||
| That bad? | ||
| Yeah, I guess that bad. | ||
| And then I see him three weeks ago in person. | ||
| He comes to a show, and he's like, come here, let me show you something. | ||
| I'm like, all right. | ||
| And then on an iPad, like the big iPad, it's the photos, but full screen. | ||
| I'm like, your taint again? | ||
| And he's like, did I show you this? | ||
| I go, yeah, we talked about it. | ||
| You sent me these photos. | ||
| I don't want to see my dad's asshole again. | ||
| And he's like, okay. | ||
| And he's like, totally not getting how crazy it is to send me that. | ||
| And then I see him two days ago, and he goes, hey, let me show you something. | ||
| At dinner, he goes, let me show you something. | ||
| I go, is it a photo of your balls in your ass? | ||
| And he's like, yeah. | ||
| I go, we've been over this, man. | ||
| I don't want to see it. | ||
| I understand you have an infection. | ||
| He sends them to so many people he forgets. | ||
| He forgets who he sent it to. | ||
| And then, like, he puts it down. | ||
| He goes, you know, a lot of the Vietnamese were so small that grenades could just blow them in half. | ||
| And I go, what are you talking about? | ||
| Because, like, in Vietnam... | ||
| Was your dad in Nam? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| He's like, you know, grenades usually will blow, like, a hand off somebody. | ||
| But the Vietnamese were really, like, small people. | ||
| And sometimes they'd be blown in half. | ||
| And I go, what is prompting you to tell me this? | ||
| And he's like, these are just things I think about. | ||
| What, do you want to get something to eat, buddy? | ||
| Like, that's how he transitions. | ||
| I'm like... | ||
| Out of nowhere. | ||
| Out of nowhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus Christ. | |
| He'll tell me like a cartel torture thing. | ||
| And I'm like, what's that? | ||
| He goes, well, I have a lot of time on my hands, so I read a lot. | ||
| I'm like, all right. | ||
| Cartel torture? | ||
| Anything that's fucking extreme and insane. | ||
| Yeah, he reads it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus Christ. | |
| And then he's like, let me get a Diet Coke. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Has he always been like that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He's so funny, man. | ||
| You realize you have a life study on somebody. | ||
| You've known someone decades, and you're like, I still don't fully get the guy. | ||
| He's still a bit of a mystery. | ||
| I understand him a lot, but he can't sit still, really. | ||
| Could you imagine being in your 20s and getting shipped off to Vietnam and seeing all the horrible shit that those guys saw? | ||
| And realizing when you get back that the war was for no reason. | ||
| That war is injustifiable. | ||
| Yeah, it's a big thing. | ||
| And he's one of those guys, too, that went and signed up. | ||
| Signed up to go. | ||
| Thought he was a patriot. | ||
| Well, he just was like, you know, yeah, he's of that old-school American, like, I'm going to, you know, fight for my country. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Graduated college and was like, Marine Corps, here we go. | ||
| Well, it's such a sketchy war, too, because the whole premise for getting into it was completely made up. | ||
| You know, the Gulf of Tonkin. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| But, I mean, I think a lot of those guys, what they think about, like my dad, Because he was a lieutenant, you know, like, had a platoon of 70 men. | ||
| And, like, the thing that you see as they age, like my dad, is how much they think about the men they lost. | ||
| Like, for them, that's what I think. | ||
| It's less about countries and politics and who was... | ||
| They just think about... | ||
| Your tribe. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| One time, he told me this, like, a year ago. | ||
| And he'd never told me. | ||
| He was like, I think about those guys every day that I lost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, whoa. | |
| Wow. | ||
| How could you not? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The fuck is going on in Afghanistan, huh? | ||
| That is such a fucking shit show. | ||
| The shittiest of shit shows. | ||
| And I feel terrible for, I mean, the people that have, like my dad, but now that enlisted or, you know, have participated in trying to maintain or do the right thing or, you know, represent their country. | ||
| All these poor Afghani people who are brutalized by this insane regime and are left alone, can't fend for themselves. | ||
| Well, not only that, there's a database of all the ones who helped Americans, and they have it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they're just going door to door trying to find these people that helped the Americans. | ||
| Yeah, you know what they do a lot of times, too? | ||
| They find out, like, you helped the Americans, and they torture and kill your kids in front of you. | ||
| And that's your punishment. | ||
| Fucking crazy. | ||
| This is the strangest time to read the news or watch the news, too, because there's still people scrambling to try to pretend that Biden is doing a good job. | ||
| I'll be honest with you. | ||
| I've never been more checked out of... | ||
| I've always been a news consumer pretty much my whole life. | ||
| I've paid very little attention. | ||
| I think I have almost news fatigue. | ||
| From the last previous four years, where I get some of the big headlines, you know? | ||
| You kind of just ingest them by being, like, present. | ||
| But I've stopped really consuming that day-to-day headline, American politics. | ||
| Good for you. | ||
| Smart. | ||
| I don't know if it is. | ||
| I used to, like, just be a daily, you know, consumer of all the big news. | ||
| But it feels like that doesn't help you. | ||
| I don't think it does, necessarily. | ||
| I mean, you feel a little bit like you're not aware of everything, like I used to be. | ||
| But, like, I couldn't tell you really much of, like, any Biden news. | ||
| I don't really know, honestly. | ||
| Well, apparently there was this meeting with the families, the Gold Star families, and he kept checking his watch. | ||
| And then... | ||
| I did read, I saw the headline that somebody wrote about being at that Gold Star family meeting and bringing up his son. | ||
| There was a big criticism about it. | ||
| But I didn't read the article, I just read the headline. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Apparently he kept checking his watch. | ||
| Like, I gotta get out of here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Listen, the reality of that guy is he's out of it. | ||
| I don't care what anybody says. | ||
| There's something wrong. | ||
| He's either got dementia or he's slipping into it. | ||
| You think it's that bad, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't think it could be questioned at this point. | ||
| He struggles, you know? | ||
| and and so then there were people saying that the families were not telling the truth that he that he wasn't checking his watch there was news stories that was criticizing the family supporting him but then the video got out of him checking his watch multiple times and so then they apologized but it's uh it's just such a strange time because these news organizations clearly are not just It's not just the news. | ||
| They have an agenda, and the agenda is to support the president and the party. | ||
| You know, this is real clear. | ||
| It's that, like, the other side is evil, and that this side is our only hope, and so ignore a lot of the inadequacies and the failures of this administration and concentrate entirely on, you know, like, January 6th and this and whatever other negative aspects and And now this fucking Texas abortion bill. | ||
| Like, what in the fuck is this? | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I didn't even know it was up for vote. | ||
| Jamie, do you know what happened? | ||
| No? | ||
| But that has also... | ||
| Six weeks? | ||
| That's caused a huge shitstorm. | ||
| Have you ever seen when they show you what a six-week-old... | ||
| I mean, it's like a bean, right? | ||
| It's like a grain of rice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's the tiniest thing. | ||
| And, like, that's just, it seems like it's just a way for, like, the Republicans in the state to dig in their heels on something. | ||
| Like, we got this one. | ||
| That's just going to force people to vote Democratic. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| It's the stupidest thing. | ||
| If that's their thought process behind it, it's the dumbest thing. | ||
| And it doesn't line up with the national laws. | ||
| You know? | ||
| It's not good, man. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| It's not good also because it's clearly a religious-based law, right? | ||
| It is. | ||
| I still struggle with the idea, like, why... | ||
| I mean, I get, because I was raised, you know, by Catholics and a Catholic, but like... | ||
| When you reach adulthood, why you don't feel like this should be something that women decide for themselves? | ||
| Why do so many guys think, you're not carrying it, man. | ||
| You really think that you should weigh in on what a woman does? | ||
| I don't understand that. | ||
| If that was in our body, there's no way we would let anybody who's not a guy Weigh in on this. | ||
| You get a free abortion with a tank of gas if guys got pregnant. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There would be no question. | ||
| And the total lack of empathy for women that are struggling, poor, in a situation where they just can't. | ||
| And they're like, well, fuck you. | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's been seven weeks. | ||
| You're fucked. | ||
| It's like, what are you talking about, man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And why do you feel so strongly about this? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't buy the fact that it's like, well, it's precious life to you. | ||
| You don't believe all life is precious. | ||
| People who hold that point of view, they don't hold that point of view consistently. | ||
| No. | ||
| They're usually pro-death penalty. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| Like, so wait, well, that's different, because that's an adult, and this was unborn. | ||
| Okay, well, isn't it precious life still? | ||
| It's not precious anymore? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, they're usually pro-war in many circumstances. | ||
| It's hard to say, man, because the reality of abortion is that at some point in time, it does become a human life. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's one of those things that, although I do not feel in any way, shape, or form that a man should have the ability to tell a woman what she can do with her body. | ||
| The reality of what an abortion is eventually, it's eventually a life. | ||
| So like when it's four months old or five months old, when it gets into that, like I knew a guy back in New York and his girl was showing and she got an abortion. | ||
| I mean, but don't you think, though, that that's got to be, for most women, just a fucking horrific experience? | ||
| Horrific. | ||
| Like, I'm sure it's... | ||
| I don't think it's like... | ||
| I think people who are, like, really pro-life think that somebody making the choice to have one is doing it, like, callously and without any emotion for some reason. | ||
| Like, it's always... | ||
| The narrative is that, that, well, you know, she's treating it like birth control or something. | ||
| It's like, I don't think that that's really what's, I think most of them are going through something really difficult. | ||
| And like, it's an emotional, they're probably a mess when that fucking happens. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| And the ones who even pretend they aren't, like I saw a girl who had a shirt on that said, I've had 21 abortions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this is like in protest of all this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's like one of those, you know, I'm defiant things. | ||
| Like, who knows if that's even true? | ||
| By the way, 21, I mean, let's pull your punch card. | ||
| I think you've had quite a few. | ||
| Yeah, let's snap that. | ||
| Let's step back a second here. | ||
| Let's tie them tubes. | ||
| If you're way into double digits, just maybe stop fucking. | ||
| You've got a problem. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, what is that? | ||
| 21? | ||
| Imagine, like, the guy's like, should I pull out? | ||
| She's like, nah, I already had 21 abortions. | ||
| There's easier ways, lady. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, the birth control pill for women is a fucked up method of birth control because it does do wild shit to their body. | ||
| It's not healthy for them in any way, shape, or form. | ||
| Fucked with their hormones. | ||
| I knew a guy whose daughter died from the pill. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, she had apparently... | ||
| Look this up. | ||
| I believe there's an issue with people who smoke and also take the pill. | ||
| And I don't think it's common. | ||
| I think it's uncommon, but it did happen to this guy's daughter. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||
| Yeah, she died. | ||
| I believe it had something to do with blood clots. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Mortality in relation to oral contraceptive use in cigarettes. | ||
| Their risk is associated with both smoking and oral contraceptives, and mixing the two can be a deadly combination. | ||
| Smoking is known to restrict one's blood vessels, causing blood clots that lead to cardiovascular issues. | ||
| That's really, really sad. | ||
| I think she was in her teens... | ||
| And that was the first I'd ever heard that people can actually die from smoking while they're on the pill. | ||
| And I was like, what? | ||
| But the pill's terrible for women. | ||
| It's terrible for women. | ||
| And they came up with an idea for a contraceptive for men, but apparently it's just gonna crush your testosterone levels. | ||
| Oh, well, no one's gonna take that. | ||
| Some bitches will. | ||
| Some guys are like, yes, please. | ||
| No thanks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not taking that shit. | |
| Yeah, most guys. | ||
| Well, any time where you're interfering with someone's hormones in that regard, it's really bad for women, man. | ||
| It's just not good for them at all. | ||
| The other options, obviously, are IUDs and condoms and some other. | ||
| Those are way better for the woman's body. | ||
| The pill's just terrible for you because it tricks your body into being pregnant. | ||
| Your body just thinks you're the ultimate hoe. | ||
| You just... | ||
| You're pregnant all year round. | ||
| I don't know if the doctors say that. | ||
| That's what the doctors say. | ||
| You're the ultimate hoe. | ||
| That's what doctors say. | ||
| Yeah, they all say it. | ||
| They even wrote it. | ||
| It's in the literature. | ||
| In med school, they're like, no, you'll have some hoes walk in your room. | ||
| And when they do, give them this pill. | ||
| Yeah, they're the ultimate hoe. | ||
| So wait, we were saying, you didn't have any loss of smell taste. | ||
| No, none. | ||
| Lucky, man. | ||
| Yeah, I got lucky. | ||
| Well, I mean, it didn't have a chance. | ||
| I jumped on it so quick. | ||
| I think my body was so filled up with vitamins that even though I got it, it's like the preparation was there, you know? | ||
| And that was the only time that I wasn't taking ivermectin prophylactically, which is supposed to be, according to Dr. Pierre Corey, supposed to be the best use of it. | ||
| There's a study out of Argentina, prophylaxis use of ivermectin in critical care workers. | ||
| That was where they'd given it to a bunch of doctors and nurses and they gave it to them as a preventative measure. | ||
| And it helped? | ||
| Yeah, that's supposed to be the best use of it, as a preventative measure. | ||
| So I had loss of smell, which came back, mostly. | ||
| They say alpha-lipoic acid, according to Huberman. | ||
| Andrew Huberman says, yeah. | ||
| When I Googled it, that's the study that is, in quotes, flawed, according to nature. | ||
| Do you know the three things that smell and somewhat taste? | ||
| Farts? | ||
| They don't smell the same. | ||
| What do they smell like, flowers? | ||
| No, it just doesn't smell like it used to. | ||
| They're not good. | ||
| So if you cut one of your own farts? | ||
| It almost smells like a stranger's farts. | ||
| I'm like, hmm, what is that? | ||
| That's not one of mine. | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't smell the same. | ||
| Lemons, limes, and toothpaste. | ||
| All smell good? | ||
| No. | ||
| All smell like farts. | ||
| Like they don't smell good. | ||
| And the toothpaste one fucked with me the hardest because at first I was brushing my teeth. | ||
| This is like a few days later, right? | ||
| And I remember I went And I was like, ugh. | ||
| And I thought it was the toothbrush, like an old toothbrush. | ||
| I was like, this must be an old toothbrush. | ||
| It smells like shit. | ||
| Like someone dipped it in their asshole. | ||
| Yeah, I fucking threw that thing out. | ||
| I was like, yuck. | ||
| How long has that toothbrush been here? | ||
| I get a fresh toothbrush, toothpaste, and I'm like, oh, it must be the shitty toothpaste, because that smelled. | ||
| So I throw the toothpaste out. | ||
| I open a new toothpaste. | ||
| I put it on, like, this smells like someone's asshole, too. | ||
| Like, what's going on? | ||
| So I just, I keep switching. | ||
| Did you ask your wife to smell it, see if it smelled normal? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She was like, it just smells like toothpaste. | ||
| It tastes like toothpaste. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And here's the thing. | ||
| I've tried them all now. | ||
| I haven't had a friend give me all natural. | ||
| She was like, try the all natural. | ||
| Toms of Maine, that kind of shit? | ||
| Yeah, all that stuff. | ||
| And I was like, smells like farts. | ||
| Like, it all smells like farts. | ||
| Still? | ||
| Yeah, still. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| What is parosmia? | ||
| Parosmia? | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| Smell receptors in your nose called olfactory sensor neurons don't detect odors and translate them to your brain the way they should. | ||
| Usually the smell is bad or even revolting. | ||
| For example, you smell a banana. | ||
| Instead of something fruity and pleasant, your nose may pick up a foul odor like rotting flesh. | ||
| Yeah, that's exactly it. | ||
| Common after a viral infection. | ||
| It says parasomia causes. | ||
| Does it say cures or treatments? | ||
| I think... | ||
| It says COVID-19. | ||
| I think it just has to come back. | ||
| I'm not... | ||
| Well, according to Huberman, he said alpha lipoic acid. | ||
| But also, I've heard people have their smell and taste returned through NAD drips. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm going to sign up for one. | ||
| I'm going to get one. | ||
| I'll hook it up. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Yeah, I got Tony on it, too. | ||
| Tony did not get sick. | ||
| Tony was with us. | ||
| We all were together in Florida. | ||
| Lara, even though she was vaccinated, she still got it. | ||
| She was there? | ||
| Yeah, she opened for us. | ||
| Laura Bites. | ||
| Oh yeah, she's great. | ||
| She's great. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And she did a fucking fantastic job too. | ||
| Crazy transformation too. | ||
| Yeah, isn't it amazing? | ||
| She looks fantastic. | ||
| Well, and then she did that because of COVID. She was scared of being overweight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now she's a fitness fanatic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| When we go out to eat, she won't touch anything with gluten, no added sugar. | ||
| She eats super healthy. | ||
| She exercises all the time. | ||
| She's super disciplined. | ||
| She's so disciplined with her writing, with her comedy, with her exercise. | ||
| And she got sick? | ||
| Didn't get sick? | ||
| She got sick. | ||
| And how did she? | ||
| She got a lot sicker than me. | ||
| Is she okay? | ||
| Yeah, she's okay. | ||
| But she was wrecked. | ||
| She was. | ||
| She was wrecked for a solid week or so. | ||
| And Tony did not get sick? | ||
| Tony did not get sick, but he got close. | ||
| Did he test positive? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| He tested negative every time, but he was feeling like shit. | ||
| But then I got him the NAD drip and the high-dose vitamin C drip, and he said he felt phenomenal. | ||
| I got it to him two days in a row. | ||
| Did they go to him for it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, boom, he was back. | ||
| And he said he feels 100%. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm telling you, NAD drip and high-dose vitamin C and high-dose IV vitamins is phenomenal when you're sick because it just goes straight to your bloodstream. | ||
| And high-dose vitamin C in particular, I've been told this by multiple doctors, is just phenomenal when you're really sick. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, high-dose vitamin C, IV drip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm a big believer in these IV drips. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We already scheduled, because I have such a daunting tour schedule, have scheduled vitamin drips for the tour. | ||
| Oh, that's a good move. | ||
| I learned about them from Chappelle. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, first time I went on tour with him, we went out that night. | ||
| He goes hard. | ||
| He doesn't fuck around. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| David goes hard. | ||
| They like to party. | ||
| They make the most out of life. | ||
| Let's put it that way. | ||
| They're out there drinking and partying. | ||
| Dave goes out till fucking six in the morning. | ||
| Yeah, but the thing is, he's up at nine with a cup of coffee and a cigarette laughing, having a good time. | ||
| But he's a giant believer in those trips, too. | ||
| And he didn't have a bad time with COVID, either. | ||
| He said the vaccine, he got vaccinated after he got COVID, and he said the vaccine hit him harder than the COVID did. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But that's often the case when people have had COVID and then they get vaccinated. | ||
| A lot of times it's a rough ride. | ||
| He had COVID and he got vaccinated? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I got vaccinated. | ||
| My cousin. | ||
| You got it after COVID and you didn't have a problem with it at all, right? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so weird, man. | ||
| Just like the disease. | ||
| People vary so much. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Honestly, with any virus or treatment, it varies. | ||
| Human beings, we're all made up of different genetics, chemical composition. | ||
| You just don't know who's going to hit what with what exactly. | ||
| You're fucking super protected. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because... | ||
| There was a study that showed that if you've had a previous COVID infection, you're 6 to 13 times more protected than you are with just a Pfizer. | ||
| Yeah, I gave up the argument. | ||
| I was arguing with my cousin, who's an ID doctor. | ||
| What's an ID doctor? | ||
| Infectious disease doctor. | ||
| So this is what she treats. | ||
| She's in the hospitals every day. | ||
| When the Delta variant came out, she was like, this thing is no joke. | ||
| She's like, this is all I'm seeing. | ||
| You have to get back, especially if you're going on tour. | ||
| I was like, well, what about... | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| I was like, fine. | ||
| I'll just go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, it didn't bother you. | ||
| Yeah, it didn't bother me. | ||
| I'm still doing that. | ||
| I'll still huck up a little green shit here and there. | ||
| What, a week out? | ||
| A week yesterday. | ||
| It's not that long. | ||
| But it doesn't feel bad. | ||
| I had a great workout today. | ||
| Yeah, I had a great workout today. | ||
| It felt great. | ||
| That's my second workout. | ||
| I had one workout two days, three days ago, three days ago, then took yesterday off and then worked out again today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No problem at all. | ||
| Just feel completely normal. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And your breathing's fine. | ||
| Yeah, except the hocking up little. | ||
| But they're little ones. | ||
| How crazy is you, or maybe you're immune to it now from having so much public scrutiny, but having people wish you got sicker? | ||
| Isn't that crazy to you? | ||
| I didn't pay attention. | ||
| It's crazy to me. | ||
| I mean, I've had people wish harm on me and threaten me and tell me they wish I was dead and all this stuff. | ||
| Fun. | ||
| Yeah, you're like, cool, man. | ||
| But it's like, when you're sick, people are like, I wish you were more sick. | ||
| Well, the good news is I was only sick for a day. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It's just wild that there's people They're like, I wish you were more sick. | ||
| I wish you were in the hospital right now. | ||
| Because I wasn't scared during the entire pandemic, what they would like is that when I did get sick, that I was really sick. | ||
| And you learned your lesson. | ||
| And instead, it's the worst case scenario for them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I bounced back about as quick as you fucking can. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're haters. | ||
| But that's their life. | ||
| You gotta live like that. | ||
| Imagine spending any time whatsoever wishing that a person felt bad. | ||
| It's the dumbest fucking thing you could ever spend your energy on. | ||
| And it doesn't work. | ||
| It doesn't make people feel worse. | ||
| God, I wish so hard. | ||
| So crazy. | ||
| You know, I'd heard that that was going on, but I didn't pay attention to it. | ||
| It's like, you know, they're weak bitches. | ||
| Stay salty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're doing alright. | ||
| Everything's fine. | ||
| I'm doing pretty good. | ||
| But meanwhile, I don't have a bad message. | ||
| My message is be healthy. | ||
| And obviously there's some merit to that. | ||
| And merit to being consistently healthy. | ||
| Here's a message. | ||
| The thing that fucked me is drinking. | ||
| I think that really fucked me. | ||
| I bet if I went home early, went to the hotel early Friday night and got sleep like I normally do, I bet it would have never got me. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| Yeah, I was hammered. | ||
| We're out playing pool till... | ||
| Like I said, 3.30 in the morning. | ||
| You know I love playing pool, so I'll play pool until I'm fucking exhausted. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I went on a trip with you once. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| It was like, stand up to pool to the whole next day. | ||
| You were like, I didn't go to bed. | ||
| You got back at like 9am and then we went out to breakfast. | ||
| I was like, what are you talking about? | ||
| You're fine. | ||
| I was like, no way, dude. | ||
| Well, you know, that message is not a good message. | ||
| No. | ||
| The up all night message and the drinking message is, yeah, my messages don't do that. | ||
| And it's stupid, and I haven't had a drink since then. | ||
| I crave sleep now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I value it more than I ever have in my life. | ||
| So good for you. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| So important. | ||
| I mean, I just like, I can, I so sense the, like, for me, everyone's kind of minimum is different, I think. | ||
| If I get less than six hours, it's a less than optimum amount for me. | ||
| Something is a little off that day. | ||
| Can't exercise as well. | ||
| I don't think as well. | ||
| My guts are affected by it. | ||
| Everything feels a little... | ||
| If it's less than five, it's that much worse. | ||
| And if I get seven or more, I'm ready for the Olympic trials. | ||
| I feel so fucking good. | ||
| I feel mentally sharp. | ||
| I can have a tough workout. | ||
| I just feel great. | ||
| Yeah, it's important. | ||
| It's one of the most important things. | ||
| The problem is, you know, I'm indulgent. | ||
| And so when I'm having fun, it's hard to stop the fun. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But that was a lesson. | ||
| And also, to be honest, I think I was drinking too much anyway. | ||
| There was way too many podcasts where I was having drinks. | ||
| It was just like I was looking forward to October. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Looking forward to Sober October. | ||
| Are you doing it? | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I'm definitely going to be sober this October. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, shit. | |
| But I might even do it all through September, too. | ||
| I just, um... | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
| Yeah, it's, um... | ||
| I was drinking too much. | ||
| And, you know, like, nothing compared to Bert. | ||
| Like, what fucking Bert does, you know? | ||
| But for me, it was... | ||
| I wonder if he'll do it this year. | ||
| Good question. | ||
| I mean, he's got so much on tour. | ||
| I think the only way Bert really wants to do it is if we have some sort of activity. | ||
| He has to have some fun doing it. | ||
| Not just, hey man, be sober for the month. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And activity and also, like the best ones were like the yoga challenge. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And the fitness one got crazy because it was just too competitive and then it just eats your whole life. | ||
| That was too much. | ||
| Yeah, that was too crazy. | ||
| There should be... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| The yoga one was perfect because, I mean, you go... | ||
| I know you practice pretty regularly, but I think for the rest of us, it was like a new thing, and it was challenging to get the 15 in, but not to ruin your fucking life. | ||
| Yeah, it wasn't crazy. | ||
| And that was fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I would do that again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe that's the move. | ||
| Because I want to get back into yoga. | ||
| I haven't really been doing it. | ||
| I'd do yoga again for October. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's get Bernie and Ari to do it too. | ||
| But he gets real upset about it. | ||
| He's like, October is a stupid month to do it. | ||
| It's baseball season. | ||
|

It's the best time for New York City! | |
| It's the best time to be drunk! | ||
| You go to Yankees games and you can find... | ||
| I saw Ari like screaming and yelling on Instagram about comedians who do game shows. | ||
| He was screaming and yelling about comedians who have already made it and why... | ||
| The fuck is wrong with you? | ||
| I think I know who he's talking to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| When he gets fired up, he's got to let it run. | ||
| He's not taught—well, is he talking to Bert? | ||
| Because Bert's—it's not really a game show, right? | ||
| Is it a show? | ||
| It's a competition. | ||
| It's a competition show. | ||
| It's a show. | ||
| But there's a lot of people on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are. | |
| It's a lot of fun. | ||
| Yeah, he's the host. | ||
| I think it had to do—it was another comic. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There was another—remember? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's just, you know, Ari is very rigid in his idea. | ||
| He does stick to his ideals about how to conduct oneself. | ||
| They don't line up with everybody else's, but he sticks to it. | ||
| His rants can be very funny, though. | ||
| Well, he gets very angry. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's funny to watch someone get that angry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know if he'd be interested in doing Sober October. | ||
| You'll do it? | ||
| You'll do yoga again? | ||
| I'll do yoga for the month. | ||
| I'm 100% down for that. | ||
| I think that would be good for me. | ||
| I think I need to do that. | ||
| Mostly I've been doing a lot of cardio, getting ready for elk hunting season. | ||
| That's mostly what I've been doing. | ||
| Cardio. | ||
| You look leaner. | ||
| You look thinned out. | ||
| Well, that was a good thing about the COVID. I lost a little weight. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| Eh, find the positive in anything. | ||
| I was planning on getting down into the 90s. | ||
| I wanted to get down to like 190, ideally like 193, 192, and I'm 195 now. | ||
| Okay, well, if you'll do it, I'll do it. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's call the boys and see if they'll do it, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nothing crazy. | ||
| Just do 15. But the thing is, we're all in other places, too. | ||
| Yeah, but on the road, that's a fun thing to, hey, find a place we can go today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it gives you something to aim for, and it's a healthy, positive thing. | ||
| But what is yoga like during the... | ||
| Well, Ari hasn't had COVID. Did Burt get COVID? He didn't get COVID. Burt didn't get COVID, no. | ||
| Did he get vaccinated? | ||
| He did. | ||
| He had to get vaccinated. | ||
| For his movie? | ||
| For his movie, yeah. | ||
| Which one did he get? | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| He got vaccinated almost as early as you can, I think. | ||
| The thing about that is that shit wears off. | ||
| They're already saying that people should get a booster. | ||
| Yeah, the booster's already... | ||
| The problem is there's no real studies on the booster. | ||
| So if you had one shot and then the second shot was rough, what's the third shot going to be like? | ||
| If you had a rough experience, I can't speak to that, but that's probably scary to fucking go back. | ||
| Did Burke get a rough experience? | ||
| I don't think he did. | ||
| He's probably drunk. | ||
| We hammered the whole time. | ||
| Did they tell you to not drink? | ||
| I know the Russian vaccine, they were saying that you couldn't drink after the Russian vaccine. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, that was like a big thing. | ||
| The Russians were like, what the fuck are you talking about? | ||
| Yeah, his was like, you know, I think the studios makes you do it for these huge productions. | ||
| He's in a giant movie. | ||
| Yeah, huge budget. | ||
| They're not going to be like, well, just see what happens. | ||
| Yeah, you can't just get sick. | ||
| And they have, like, crazy protocols on these sets, you know? | ||
| Oh, I can imagine. | ||
| I think you get tested walking in and walking out. | ||
| Do you have to isolate? | ||
| I don't know if you have to... | ||
| Probably when you get to a set, yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would imagine. | |
| On a big production, you get to a set, like, you arrive... | ||
| Because I booked a movie. | ||
| I got offered a movie, I should say, that I would have been shooting instead of breaking my body. | ||
| And the reason that I turned it down was how long they wanted me to do for the movie. | ||
| How long do they want you to isolate? | ||
| So they're like, this is how it happened. | ||
| I get offered the movie in October of last year. | ||
| And they go, you're going to, it's let's say 12 to 15 days, like a pretty decent sized part in this movie. | ||
| So I go, okay. | ||
| And it starts shooting, let's say, you know, December 1st. | ||
| I go, all right. | ||
| They go, well, they need you a few days before, a week before. | ||
| And that you'll shoot for most of the month of December. | ||
| And it lined up to be about three to four weeks. | ||
| So I was like, all right. | ||
| And I go, well, it looks like you have to be there during Thanksgiving. | ||
| So I'm like, okay. | ||
| So I basically, I tell Christina, well, what I'll do is I'm going to rent a house and we'll all go there. | ||
| And you spend a couple weeks there and then go back and I'll just finish my last couple weeks. | ||
| We get closer to the production date, and they go, hey, they're gonna need you now for five weeks. | ||
| And I go, what for? | ||
| And they go, well, they're extending how long you have to quarantine before you start production. | ||
| So I was like, I thought about it, and I was like, okay, I'll do it. | ||
| Now we're closer to production, and I get a call, they need you for six weeks. | ||
| And I go, why six weeks now? | ||
| And they go, well, if they have to shut down production, They need to know that they'll have you in case, you know, to shoot more. | ||
| So now this, what was once a three-week gig is a six-week gig. | ||
| And I still go, all right, but that's it. | ||
| And then the day, this is like two weeks before we shoot, the day they go, you're going to talk to the director today? | ||
| My agent calls, just so you know, they need you for seven weeks. | ||
| And I go, tell them I'm not doing it. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I go, I'm not doing it, man. | ||
| Like, you just turned a three-week gig into, like, two months. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I go, I'm not committing to that. | ||
| And that's how I turned it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It was way too long, because they needed, like, they wanted you to quarantine initially, like, seven to ten days, and it was 14 days, and they wanted, like, a... | ||
| Three-week window on the back that you stay there for in case somebody else... | ||
| The difference between you and a regular actor, they don't understand. | ||
| You make your money podcasting and stand-up. | ||
| There's a big difference. | ||
| For a regular actor, they're happy to get a gig, and they go, well, okay, this is just more time that I'm doing this gig. | ||
| For you, it's like, do you know how much money I'm going to lose? | ||
| It is. | ||
| And I have to say, I enjoy features, and I like it. | ||
| It's an enjoyable thing. | ||
| And I like that there's like... | ||
| A beginning and end date. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I enjoy that. | ||
| But, yeah, two months to do that? | ||
| Unless it's the fucking project that I'm dying to do. | ||
| Yeah, I burnt out acting, doing a sitcom. | ||
| Yeah, sitcoms are different, though. | ||
| It was a lot of fun. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| I'm super happy that I got it, and I was very lucky, very fortunate to get it. | ||
| As far as sitcoms go, news radio is literally one of the greatest experiences a person could ever have. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| Amazing, but I would never do it again. | ||
| There's times in your life where it makes more sense. | ||
| Me going to do a sitcom right now would be insane. | ||
| I had a fucking agent call me. | ||
| He was like, Hey, you got an offer to do this thing. | ||
| I was like, when does it start shooting? | ||
| And he was like, I don't know, like two weeks ago or something, you know? | ||
| And I was like, I'm on a theater arena tour. | ||
| And he was like, can you move it? | ||
| I was like, no. | ||
| Do you understand how this works? | ||
| Do you understand what arenas are? | ||
| Yeah, he was like, oh. | ||
| He was like, it's a good part. | ||
| I go, I don't give a fuck if it's with Martin Scorsese. | ||
| I'm not moving this shit. | ||
| Do they understand how much you make in arenas? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think the theatrical agents sometimes don't. | ||
| No. | ||
| They probably have no idea. | ||
| I got offered a show where they throw you into space. | ||
| They wanted to do a reality show where they shoot me into space. | ||
| That'd be a good show. | ||
| Fuck that. | ||
| I'd watch that show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would definitely watch that show. | |
| I'd get the kids for that one. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| That would be the most heinous way to die. | ||
| Because it's basically a really high plane flight. | ||
| Like, let's stop calling it space. | ||
| Especially with the shuttle, they're like, oh, we're losing pressure. | ||
| And you're like, oh, my head's going to explode in this thing? | ||
| Oh, you're just going to burn alive. | ||
| In like 15 seconds? | ||
| Yeah, we lost a few tiles coming in. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Yeah, that would be a gnarly way to go. | ||
| But Bezos did it. | ||
| Branson did it. | ||
| So those billionaire characters did it. | ||
| So it's got to be like... | ||
| Elon's definitely going to do it, right? | ||
| He's got a whole space program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I doubt it. | |
| He's probably going to make a clone. | ||
| I'll put my clone up there. | ||
| Yeah, why would he? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why the fuck would he? | |
| If I was him, I wouldn't do that. | ||
| But he's making the rockets. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Good idea. | ||
| Make the rockets. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why the fuck would he go? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Would you take... | ||
| If it had a bunch of runs where they'd been doing it for... | ||
| Like an airplane. | ||
| Yeah, a couple of years. | ||
| I'm saying if they'd been doing it a bunch, you'd do it, right? | ||
| Yeah, I'd bring Eddie Bravo. | ||
| I'd go, look at the curve. | ||
| He'd be like, that's bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at the curve. | |
| Look at the curve. | ||
| I asked him one time about, I haven't seen him in a while, about, what do you think of the photos and video? | ||
| He's like, what's all, doctored. | ||
| I'm like, every single one? | ||
| All photos and videos? | ||
| He was like, yes. | ||
| It's a concerted effort. | ||
| That's quite a team. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I never know if he's fucking around or serious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's hard to tell. | ||
| I think it's a little bit of both. | ||
| But it's, um, all bullshit aside, I would do it if it was down, if they had it down. | ||
| Because I think it would be an amazing... | ||
| Who wants to go on the first run? | ||
| I want to be up there in space space, though, where you could see the stars. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I don't want to go on a high plane flight that might kill me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Because it seems like that's what these things really are. | ||
| They're like a high plane flight that might kill you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, is that really space? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Because people are arguing that it's not, right? | ||
| Are they? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| They're arguing that Jeff Bezos never really went into space and that Richard Branson never really went into space. | ||
| So they just barely left the atmosphere kind of thing? | ||
| Well, what is space? | ||
| Like, how many feet do you have to be up? | ||
| Like, a flight is like between 30 and 40-something thousand feet, right? | ||
| Like a commercial flight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Usually 35,000 is like the most typical. | ||
| So what's space? | ||
| How high do you have to get up? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| I mean, I assume they're just leaving the atmosphere, right? | ||
| So what is a mile? | ||
| A mile is like 5,000 feet? | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I think 5,300 or something like that. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So when you're up there on a regular commercial flight, you're like six-ish miles somewhere, five miles, six miles, seven miles. | ||
| How many miles is space? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| Is it 50? | ||
| How far is it? | ||
| 50? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| 50? | ||
| According to the U.S. military, the FAA, and NASA, 50 miles is where the line is, but 62 miles is the legit line, the thermosphere. | ||
| That's way fucking further, man. | ||
| Way further. | ||
| 60 miles. | ||
| 62 miles. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| I didn't realize it was that much further. | ||
| Okay, so here we go. | ||
| So... | ||
| See, let's look at that commercial plane. | ||
| This Carmen line is the 50-mile line. | ||
| That's where, like, satellites, I guess, are. | ||
| Look at that little bullshit-ass ozone layer. | ||
| Like where the regular flights go. | ||
| The troposphere? | ||
| That's where we fly. | ||
| The thermosphere and the exosphere. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That's way the fuck up there. | ||
| That's where I'd want to be, though. | ||
| I mean, I want to... | ||
| So where did he go? | ||
| Where did Bezos and them go? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| Do you know how far... | ||
| That's not what these pictures said, but... | ||
| I want to say they were... | ||
| Yeah, let's find out how far... | ||
| The Karman line, huh? | ||
| That's the line of space? | ||
| Is that where the satellites are? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, they can't all be on that same line. | ||
| Alright, let's guess. | ||
| How many feet do you think Bezos went up? | ||
| Well, we know that he didn't go to that extreme level, right? | ||
| So I'm going to guess that he went... | ||
| If you pull up the chart... | ||
| 75,000 feet? | ||
| The chart of the different lines. | ||
| I'm going to guess it was the... | ||
| I'm trying to think what the line was here. | ||
| How many feet do you think you went? | ||
| I'll go with... | ||
| Yeah, 90,000 feet. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| I was going to go like 75. I'm guessing three times as high as we normally fly. | ||
| What do you think you went, Jeremy? | ||
| Take a guess. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| It's too late. | ||
| I've already seen that. | ||
| It's supposed to have gone higher. | ||
| I don't have the number right now, though. | ||
| I know that Bezos was supposed to have gone higher. | ||
| I don't even know if he made the flight yet, though. | ||
| I thought Bezos already did. | ||
| Yeah, he already did. | ||
| Yeah, because Omega sponsored her. | ||
| They were all wearing those Speedmaster watches. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| Yeah, he had the fucking cowboy hat on. | ||
| Yeah, the cowboy hat. | ||
| That was a little asshole. | ||
| He was like, that was really fun. | ||
| The cowboy hat was a little ridiculous. | ||
| It was. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| He had child-like excitement, which I get. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, he's retired. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, you know. | ||
| He's just chilling. | ||
| Fucking balling out of control with $180 billion in the bank. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Balling. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| They have a tweet from their account that says, only 4% of the world recognizes a lower limit of 80 kilometers or 50 miles to be getting a new space. | ||
| And then the new Shepard? | ||
| That's not the device they were in, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Blue Origin's his company. | ||
| But they said whatever that is, which I think that's the actual device or ship they're in, the Shepard. | ||
| So what is 80 kilometers? | ||
| Is it like 42 miles? | ||
| It's pretty close to 50 miles, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Close to 50, yeah. | ||
| So that goes above that, but I don't think that's where they went. | ||
| That's a lot further than we thought then, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So who went higher, him or Branson? | ||
| Is Galactic, that's Virgin. | ||
| See, this says that they've gone above it three times. | ||
| I don't think they went on that flight, but this, even Blue Virgin says they've gone above that distance three times. | ||
| I love that they know that they have an escape system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck's involved with that? | |
| Is that like a normal flight attendant? | ||
| Like, you see this exit right here? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You see, if some problem happens, just pull this and push the door out. | ||
| And you'll float right out. | ||
| In the escape system, I bet it's like some super insulated pod. | ||
| There's no way he went up there without a solid one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I could imagine. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, Jesus Christ. | ||
| Yeah, but then also it's like, what if you black out? | ||
| What if it loses pressure? | ||
| What if this? | ||
| What if we get hit by a little micro-asteroid? | ||
| They went 66 miles up, it says. | ||
| Woo! | ||
| Suborbital flight. | ||
| Suborbital? | ||
| That's what the headline said. | ||
| What does Branson say? | ||
| What did he do? | ||
| You think Bezos brought children from some factory and he's like, if something goes wrong here, you'll die, but you'll save me. | ||
| You just pull on this. | ||
| And they're like, okay. | ||
| I don't think you did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They have the worst fucking warehouse reputation of any company. | |
| It's brutal. | ||
| It's scary, man. | ||
| They run. | ||
| They have a timer. | ||
| If you order some toothpaste from Amazon, someone has a little iPad. | ||
| They have to run. | ||
| According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Branson did not reach space because they only went 86 kilometers. | ||
| You have to go 100. And did Bezos hit? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So both of them didn't make it. | ||
| It almost depends on who you're asking for the answer because everyone's going to give a different answer. | ||
| But yeah, the assumed line of space, according to this, then says it's 100 kilometers higher than Earth's surface. | ||
| Neil deGrasse is a bit of a party pooper. | ||
| He shit on that party for sure. | ||
| Shit all over that party? | ||
| No, you didn't. | ||
| You didn't get invited on the ship. | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, that's why, right? | ||
| He's probably a little better. | ||
| He can't fucking go. | ||
| He's going to be the first one there. | ||
| That's probably why. | ||
| Oh, so he'll go to the real space, space, space. | ||
| But who's going to take him? | ||
| Maybe Elon? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Is he tight with Elon? | ||
| Whoever wants that stamp. | ||
| If I had a rocket, I would definitely invite Neil deGrasse on that trip. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| And just have him teach me stuff the whole way. | ||
| Look at that over there. | ||
| And I'm like, oh no, it's like having a fucking professor with you. | ||
| Yeah, who else would you bring? | ||
| If you had like a dream team. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gotta bring Bert. | |
| Tito's and soda the whole time. | ||
| We're just fucking pouring drinks while we're in space. | ||
| Guys, can you fucking believe we're up? | ||
| We know we're up here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shut up. | |
| Guys, we're in space. | ||
| Look what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I poured the vodka. | |
| It doesn't even come out. | ||
| I got to throw it. | ||
| I got to throw it at the glass. | ||
| There's a little controversy on the Branson flight apparently right now. | ||
| They were supposed to fly recently and the FAA has halted it because the first one on July 11th went off course according to the New Yorker magazine. | ||
| They're trying to find out how far off course it went. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it went up, but maybe not the direction it was supposed to go. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Look how flimsy that rocket looks. | ||
| I mean, those little things stuck on the side looks like they would snap right off. | ||
| What the fuck are those things? | ||
| In the photo, that doesn't look... | ||
| That looks super non-confidence building. | ||
| Yeah, that looks... | ||
| Look at him. | ||
| He parties. | ||
| He's a good time. | ||
| That looks like fun. | ||
| Have you ever met him? | ||
| No. | ||
| A lot of people are mad at these billionaire characters for going into space. | ||
| A lot of them are mad for just being billionaires, too. | ||
| People hate billionaires. | ||
| There's a lot of that going on. | ||
| There's a lot of... | ||
| Do you know that the fires in Northern California, speaking of people that hate billionaires, they busted a social justice professor for setting them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yep. | ||
| He set them? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What the fuck was he trying to do? | ||
| He's a piece of shit, apparently. | ||
| Was he trying to deliberately cause a massive fire? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Not only was he, apparently, the accusation is worse than that. | ||
| The accusation is that he was trying to trap the firefighters. | ||
| In the fire, so he was setting fires behind them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Former college professor accused of serial arrest is denied bail in California. | ||
| It was pull up what he did. | ||
| Gary Maynard? | ||
| Yeah, he was a social justice professor, which is like, what does that mean? | ||
| Fucking terrifying, man, that this guy was a professor. | ||
| Just angry fuck. | ||
| Based on that finding, the defendant will be detained as a risk of non-appearance and a danger to the community. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You can't let this guy out, for sure. | ||
| No conditions or combination of conditions that would provide the necessary level of safety to this community should the defendant be released. | ||
| Yeah, this is what's crazy. | ||
| This guy was a professor. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Scroll up. | ||
| Let's see what it said. | ||
| No, I mean, I'm sorry, down. | ||
| See how they busted him. | ||
| I know they busted him because his car got caught in the fire. | ||
| Like he was in the area where you're supposed to be evacuated and his car got caught there and then they realized that he was actually setting fires. | ||
| And not only was he setting fire, Maynard, 47, a former professor who has taught at all, by the way, so was the Unabomber, former professor. | ||
| He taught criminology and criminal justice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Colleges in New York and California, according to the online records, last fall he taught in the criminology and criminal justice department at Sonoma State University. | ||
| Which says in its official bio that Maynard, that he has a doctorate in sociology and three master's degrees. | ||
| His teaching research school said focuses on topics including the sociology of health, defiance, and crime. | ||
| This is so crazy. | ||
| Crazy, man. | ||
| So he was spotted near the scene on July 20th of the Cascade Fire on the western slopes of Mount Shasta. | ||
| A mountain biker in those remote woods had noticed signs of a fire, called 911. And then worked to limit the fire spread. | ||
| A Forest Service fire investigator determined the Cascade fire was likely the result of arson. | ||
| He also noticed that on a dirt road 150 to 200 yards from the fire a man was struggling to free his car. | ||
| A black Kia Soul, of course he has a Kia Soul. | ||
| After the vehicle's rear had failed to clear a partially buried boulder, a witness told investigators that the man, later identified as Maynard, had arrived several hours before the fire started. | ||
| Court records show, the witness said the man had walked off in the direction when the fire eventually ignited, returning around 10 minutes later. | ||
| After the man returned, the witness recalled smoke from the Cascade fire became visible. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow, and they took a tire tried pattern left by his car. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| The investigator kept his distance from Maynard, citing the man's uncooperative and agitated behavior, but he took a picture of his car and the license plate numbered, led to Maynard. | ||
| Forest Service agents also measured and recorded data about the tire tread patterns. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What a fucked up person. | ||
| Fucked up. | ||
| It reminds me, in some way, not entirely, of the... | ||
| That famous former arson investigator that set fires. | ||
| You ever hear about that story? | ||
| It is wild. | ||
| No. | ||
| And he wrote a book about an arson investigator that set fires. | ||
| Oh, Jesus Christ. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And his fires, he definitely killed at least one person. | ||
| So this guy was a, I'm sure you could find this. | ||
| Where was this? | ||
| Man, I don't know if it was California as well. | ||
| Yeah, Glendale. | ||
| This dude was an arson investigator and he was setting fires left and right. | ||
| Well, there have been fire department members. | ||
| Firefighters. | ||
| Actual firefighters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Set fires and then put them out. | ||
| Like they have this thing. | ||
| Some crazy people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They have like this. | ||
| They want to put out a fire. | ||
| And there's no fire. | ||
| So they set a fire. | ||
| This is the guy. | ||
| Look at him. | ||
| Shifty fuck. | ||
| I don't like your mustache. | ||
| Giannini sighted. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| My bad. | ||
| Giannini cited testimony by a UCLA forensic psychiatrist who said... | ||
| Oh, his name is Orr? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, Leonard Orr. | ||
| John Leonard Orr. | ||
| Orr was driven to torch buildings by a compulsion. | ||
| He was powerless to control. | ||
| He had no choice in the matter, the lawyer said. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| This guy, he also wrote... | ||
| He wrote a book, right? | ||
| Yeah, this has him listed as an American novelist on his Wikipedia. | ||
| And his book is about a fucking arsonist who's a fire investigator. | ||
| So when did he get busted? | ||
| This was in the... | ||
| I mean, he died in... | ||
| Oh, he died in the 80s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did he? | |
| No. | ||
| Is that what it says? | ||
| He was 72 here. | ||
| Oh, he says age 72. I don't know what that is. | ||
| I don't think he's dead. | ||
| Google would probably just freak out. | ||
| That could have been when his book came out or when this happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's details here. | ||
| He got apprehended us in 1991. Oh, okay. | ||
| So he's in jail now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In prison. | ||
| California State Prison. | ||
| Can you scroll to his book? | ||
| Because I'm telling you, it's like... | ||
| It'd be a wild book to read knowing that the guy actually set fires. | ||
| It is kind of crazy that anybody, like here we are lighting cigars, right? | ||
| Anybody can buy matches. | ||
| Anybody can buy a lighter. | ||
| I knew an arsonist. | ||
| Did you really? | ||
| I went to school with one. | ||
| Did he set people's houses on fire? | ||
| What did he set on fire? | ||
| Government property. | ||
| Weird, socially awkward dude. | ||
| Points of origin. | ||
| Playing with fire. | ||
| Join the investigation as lead character. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| 2001? | ||
| It must be a reprint. | ||
| Yeah, it might have been a reprint. | ||
| Publisher 2001. I don't know. | ||
| It's kind of strange. | ||
| Did they let him write a book after he's already joined? | ||
| No way. | ||
| Maybe it's a book on the actual thing. | ||
| Author is convicted of murder and is currently serving life sentence. | ||
| Let me look that up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, look at the other one. | ||
| Points of Truth. | ||
| That's his name, too. | ||
| But that came out after this. | ||
| These are probably reprints, man. | ||
| Jeez, I hope so. | ||
| Federal prison for 30 years. | ||
| Life plus 21. Yeah. | ||
| But you see the description, right? | ||
| The description was about an arson investigator, which is what he was. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| It's a crazy compulsion, man. | ||
| His best-selling true crime in his book, Fire Lover. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fire Lover. | |
| No. | ||
| That was the book? | ||
| Fire Lover? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I wonder if maybe he got sick while he was writing the book. | ||
| Oh, so wait. | ||
| Fire Lover is a book about him. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| That's a book about him. | ||
| But his books are points of origin and points of truth, it looks like. | ||
| Yeah, Wambach's writing about John Orr. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| See, it says 2008. Yeah, that's strange. | ||
| So Points of Origin, Playing with Fire is his book. | ||
| But it's late at 2008? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So it must be reprints. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Either way. | ||
| That is... | ||
| Imagine if he was... | ||
| Because a lot of times when writers get into a subject, they thoroughly research whatever psychosis the character has. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, I wonder if he went nutty investigating fires. | ||
| Maybe, man. | ||
| This reminds me of O.J.'s book, If I Did It. | ||
| I have a copy of that. | ||
| You do? | ||
| Signed? | ||
| Signed by O.J. Yeah. | ||
| He's like, if I did it, this is exactly how I would, but I, you know, I didn't do it. | ||
| You might go back to L.A. My wife might have figured it out. | ||
| That was the best. | ||
| The best is when O.J. He's scared to go back to L.A. I don't want to go back to L.A. and run into the real killer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fucking insane. | |
| You might be out there, man. | ||
| Yeah, I love OJ giving people advice on Twitter. | ||
| Hello, Twitter world. | ||
| It's me, OJ Simpson. | ||
| The strangest thing is watching him talk on Twitter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's the strangest thing, because he talks, and then you look in the comments, it's all like knives, like knife emojis. | ||
| Everyone's like, hey, remember when you killed those people? | ||
| Those are the replies. | ||
| That's all the replies. | ||
| And every now and then, you tell them juice. | ||
| Every now and then, there's like someone- That's obsession with celebrity though, right? | ||
| There's such an obsession with celebrity that people are just like, it's cool, man. | ||
| Well, there's people that just- Not guilty. | ||
| No matter what, they don't think people are guilty, right? | ||
| Like when Cosby got out, there's a lot of people that were like, yes, finally justice is served. | ||
| I'm like, What? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| How many people? | ||
| Yeah, it's like up to 50. You think that 53 women in their 50s and 60s conspired to ruin Bill Cosby's life? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Some people are crazy, man. | ||
| Yeah, they are. | ||
| They really do. | ||
| But that's just, you're never going to get 100% compliance. | ||
| Like, when someone goes to jail for being a serial killer, there's women lined up to marry them. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| I mean, Ramirez, Bundy, they had bags of mail. | ||
| Yeah, naked photos and shit. | ||
| But they're like, every day this shit arrives. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| He fathered a kid in prison. | ||
| How did he do that? | ||
| They fucking... | ||
| They conjugaled? | ||
| Yeah, well, not a prison that allows it, but obviously a guard, you know... | ||
| Got paid off or wasn't paying attention. | ||
| Or just got manipulated by a master manipulator, who we worked on probably for a couple of years, and let it happen, man. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Ramirez got married in prison. | ||
| Manson, a fucking woman, married Charles Manson when he was like fucking 70. She was like, I love this guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's when you want to go, hey, look, there's someone for everyone. | ||
| If you're single and you're like, nobody's there, you can find someone, dude. | ||
| You just got to look around. | ||
| Just get the right profile out there on the dating sites. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You got to get out there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's someone for you. | ||
| Someone's out there for you. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| The Night Stalker had someone. | ||
| There's someone for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| For sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, a guy who crushed women's heads with hammers and shit. | ||
| And had, by the way, he had choices. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This wasn't, like, the one chick. | ||
| He had options. | ||
| Is it worth the other way, though, where women kill men? | ||
| Do they get a lot of proposals? | ||
| For sure, some, for sure. | ||
| Must be, right? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Guys who want to die. | ||
| Or they just think it's hot, or they just... | ||
| You know, people also romanticize people in their minds, and they just... | ||
| You can choose to see what you want to see and block out... | ||
| I mean, if you're writing to the Night Stalker and Manson and fucking Ted Bundy, Who would rape dead bodies that had been decapitated. | ||
| And you're like, I want to meet this guy. | ||
| Did he? | ||
| Is that what he did? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| He would rape the body after he killed them. | ||
| You know, that's like... | ||
| Do you know he almost got Debbie Harry from Blondie? | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah, she escaped. | ||
| She was getting a ride from him, and she realized when she was in the car that the door didn't have handles on the inside. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And somehow or another she got out. | ||
| I want to say she was in the back seat. | ||
| Somehow or another she got out. | ||
| I don't remember the whole story behind it, but I remember her describing it. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Such a, I mean, just a brutal, savage dude. | ||
| There's a movie out now that just came out that was released. | ||
| It's like on iTunes movies about him. | ||
| Yeah, Harry claims she encountered Bundy during the 1970s, well before the famous new wave band that made her famous came together. | ||
| Who wrote this book or this article? | ||
| Well before the famous new wave band that made her famous came together. | ||
| How about editing, you fucks? | ||
| As she tells it, Harry was alone in the streets of Manhattan in the early morning hours searching for a taxi. | ||
| Then a white car pulled up. | ||
| The driver offered a ride. | ||
| Harry had doubts about getting inside the car, but her feet were aching and the driver appeared to be polite. | ||
| Upon realizing she was trapped, Harry managed to escape and lived to tell the tale. | ||
| Upon seeing Bundy's actual photo in a magazine article after his arrest, the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stood up as she realized she recognized him. | ||
| I had not thought about that night, but for maybe 15 years it was him. | ||
| Yeah, the passenger side door handle was missing. | ||
| Actual photos of Barry's 1968 VW verify these details but authorities have not confirmed that the man Harry met was Bundy. | ||
| And the numbers that he put up. | ||
| That is insane, man. | ||
| You know, when they go like, this person killed like six and seven people, you're like, oh my god. | ||
| And you go, he killed over 30 women? | ||
| I mean, that's fucking crazy. | ||
| In so many different states, it was California, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Florida. | ||
| It just makes you think about the way people's brains are broken. | ||
| He was, yeah. | ||
| Various people's brains, whether it's arson or serial murder. | ||
| The human brain. | ||
| This is the movie. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, No Man of God. | ||
| Yeah, I saw it. | ||
| Did you see the movie? | ||
| How is it? | ||
| I mean, it's interesting. | ||
| So that's supposed to be, I think, Bill Hagmeier is his name. | ||
| He's one of the guys that established the FBI's profiling program, which evolved into this huge thing now where the term profiling didn't exist before him and a few other guys started to interview and study these guys. | ||
| And Hagmeyer volunteered to go talk to Bundy and they were like, he's not going to, you know, he denied it. | ||
| He kept denying it, pleading his innocence. | ||
| And he, you know, was able to connect with him and over time, Bundy at first would just tell him about Because Bundy had an interest in psychology, too. | ||
| So he would talk in psychological terms about things and weigh in on when they were looking for the Green River killer. | ||
| He would give theories and then he'd be like, of course, I have no idea. | ||
| I would never do shit like that. | ||
| But over time and towards the end, he ended up confessing to all his murders, you know, or a bunch of them. | ||
| But Hagmeier then ended up being the guy that a lot of serial murderers wanted to talk to and tell because of the Bundy connection. | ||
| Imagine being that guy and you have to sit there and listen to these people talk about how they tortured and killed people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Didn't Patton's ex-wife, or his wife who died, didn't she find... | ||
| Well, she's given a lot of credit for tracking and profiling the Golden State Killer, who they ended up catching... | ||
| Not long after her death. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that was in that HBO series, which is fantastic. | ||
| I'll Be Gone in the Dark. | ||
| That's the name of her book. | ||
| And that's, I think, the name of the series, too. | ||
| And it is unbelievable. | ||
| She was so into finding him and really doing real investigative work. | ||
| And she ended up pairing up with one of the law enforcement guys that had been trying to find this guy for years and years and years. | ||
| And there was like... | ||
| You know, because people gave up on it. | ||
| That guy's numbers were also fucking insane. | ||
| And the way he basically evolved or devolved as a criminal, because he was the ransacker. | ||
| They called him the, I forget, like the Sacramento ransacker or something. | ||
| He would just break into homes and like ransack the home. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And he did it to like, I mean like fucking over a hundred homes. | ||
| And then occasionally he would kill people? | ||
| Well, and then it became sexual assault, and he assaulted and raped women. | ||
| And then I think there's... | ||
| I want to say in that HBO series, they say that... | ||
| I think it was like someone in the news was like, oh, but at least he's not a killer. | ||
| And the guy almost took that as, oh, I'm not a killer? | ||
| And then he fucking killed someone the next time. | ||
| And then he ended up killing like a dozen people or ten people or something. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| So he was reading the news reports and then... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck. | |
| But this thing, like, when you watch that series, too, and you realize that he would just wait in the fucking shadows, and, like, you know, you go, like, this guy's heart rate just must be, like, not able to flutter, you know? | ||
| Like, waiting inside homes, one of the things he would do, like, this dude was super sadistic. | ||
| Joseph, uh, what's the Italian name, right? | ||
| D'Angelo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| Look at that guy. | ||
| And, you know, he was a police officer. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| He was a cop? | ||
| At least 13 murders, 50 rapes, and 120 burglaries. | ||
| Between 73 and 86. And then he just stopped? | ||
| Visalia Ransacker. | ||
| Then he became the East Area Rapist. | ||
| The original Night Stalker. | ||
| And he stopped. | ||
| He did stop, yeah. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And then, you know, it's also terrifying. | ||
| You watch that... | ||
| That's serious. | ||
| And they have photos of him, like, with family, you know? | ||
| Like, his kids, his nephews, and... | ||
| You realize that's just like, that's some guy's uncle and dad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| What is that? | ||
| Look at that image of him on the left. | ||
| And that's an act. | ||
| This is an act? | ||
| That's an act. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| He was pretending to be feeble-minded and checked out during the beginning of the trial to be, like, less accountable for the crime. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look how they're wearing the... | ||
| And then this is when he was convicted and he kind of knocked it off. | ||
| And he gave his... | ||
| So all this happened during the pandemic? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Because they're all wearing shields. | ||
| That's him when he was a cop. | ||
| What the fuck, man? | ||
| See, there's him as... | ||
| Oh, Jesus Christ. | ||
| Dude, that series is incredible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, HBO did it. | ||
| It's fucking wild, man. | ||
| And he... | ||
| Yeah, so he was doing this, like, I'm not with it routine. | ||
| And then they... | ||
| In the trial, they showed... | ||
| There was a closed-circuit camera in his cell. | ||
| And they show him, like, getting up and standing on the sink to clean his cell. | ||
| And, like, moving around... | ||
| Pretty well for a guy in his 70s. | ||
| Which was like, contrary to him in court being like, I can't move. | ||
| So it was all clearly... | ||
| Manipulative. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus Christ. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And they got him from the, you know, you know how they got him. | ||
| No. | ||
| It was like that 23andMe stuff. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Didn't they get his brother or something like that? | ||
| Well, they ended up using... | ||
| I forget if it was her idea or another investigator's idea to look at that. | ||
| Because they had trace DNA that was like 30 years old in a bag in one of these rooms. | ||
| And they're like, let's test the DNA. And it wasn't a match. | ||
| So they knew it wasn't somebody that had been like... | ||
| Arrested before. | ||
| You know, they didn't have that 30 years ago, but they put it in the system to see if it would just, you know, line up to a guy who had been arrested. | ||
| But then they go, they were like, well, let's, you know, by looking at that evidence, they were able to put it into a, realize that he's part of at least this family tree. | ||
| And so they were seeing, like, who is in this tree from, like, those 23andMe type people. | ||
| Sights. | ||
| And then they, you know, they're seeing like who the possibilities are and they find a man in his 70s who's in California and they go and they fucking, they get him in his garage. | ||
| How long do you think we are from being able to have like a real lie detector test? | ||
| Like a real lie detector where they put your hands in this thing and they can like read your memories. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| I don't think it's that far away. | ||
| It doesn't seem like it would be. | ||
| Because I know they convicted a woman, I want to say in India, but it was very faulty. | ||
| They used what's called FMRI, which is functional magnetic resonance imagery. | ||
| And they said that she had... | ||
| Some sort of recollection of the crime scene that was unusual. | ||
| But then someone was saying, but if you were defending your life, like if somebody accused you of murder and they showed you all the evidence, you would have this connection to the scene. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So how do you know? | ||
| I talked to a neuroscientist about this. | ||
| When I was doing that Joe Rogan Questions Everything show for SyFy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And she didn't think that it made sense. | ||
| She didn't think that it was viable. | ||
| And they convicted her based on... | ||
| It was quite a while ago. | ||
| I feel like it was in India. | ||
| See, Google woman convicted of murder through fMRI in India. | ||
| Do you know how much people are going to push back on the perfect lie detector? | ||
| People are going to be like, fuck no. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It's from 2009. It does say that she was convicted. | ||
| But I feel like when we looked this up one time, maybe it had been overturned or something. | ||
| Some articles are deleted now. | ||
| But it is from India, right? | ||
| I believe this woman who I talked to as a neuroscientist said this would not happen here and this is the reason why it's like but you know people get convicted of stuff that doesn't make any sense you know in Italy they were convicted they convicted these seismologists of not predicting an earthquake accurately They convicted them? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You got this wrong? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And people were furious at them. | ||
| Apparently, Italy... | ||
| I don't want anybody to get mad at me in Italy. | ||
| Italy has a wonky criminal justice system. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's super flawed. | ||
| Well, my first exposure to any of that was that Amanda Knox thing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that story... | ||
| Also, it was a documentary thing that I saw. | ||
| It seemed wacky. | ||
| I forget the details of it, but you're like, how does this... | ||
| This doesn't add up at all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Google... | |
| Seismologists convicted for earthquake. | ||
| In Italy. | ||
| In Italy. | ||
| I'm pretty sure they were saying, hey, motherfucker, this is not how it works. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We can't predict whether or not the fucking earth is going to shake. | ||
| Doesn't seem like something you've convicted of. | ||
| They were cleared. | ||
| They were cleared eventually? | ||
| But they were charged. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They had to go to court over it. | ||
| Imagine. | ||
| Imagine, you're fighting for your life. | ||
| An appeals court overturned their six-year prison sentence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So they did get convicted. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| Like, the idea that these dumb motherfuckers don't know how the equipment works. | ||
| So they go, how come you didn't guess? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Manslaughter. | |
| You didn't fucking know. | ||
| Yeah, manslaughter. | ||
| Appeals court says six scientists did not cause deaths in the 2009 La Aquila earthquake and cut sentence of a government official. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck. | |
| Cleared of manslaughter. | ||
| God damn. | ||
| Yeah, that's how dumb they are over there. | ||
| I think you said you didn't want to upset anybody over there. | ||
| I'm saying it right now. | ||
| They're drinking wine and pasta. | ||
| They're fucking saying, hey, put them in a jail! | ||
| These motherfuckers should have known. | ||
| There's a study from 2019 that says that people can fool it. | ||
| But isn't that a thing here in the U.S. justice system that lie detector tests? | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| They're like, that's not going to hold up in court. | ||
| It doesn't hold up in court. | ||
| But I think it doesn't hold up in court because people can fake it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| Maybe you could get scared and your thing will be wrong and it'll register like you're... | ||
| But that fucking Italian thing is the craziest shit I've ever heard in my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's insane. | |
| They convicted them. | ||
| Yeah, they're like, you're going to prison. | ||
| Lock them up! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's an earthquake. | ||
| You didn't get it right. | ||
| You fucking dumb motherfuckers. | ||
| How do you not know? | ||
| That's so wild, man. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| You know that the people that are the best at defeating lie detectors are like the worst people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sociopaths. | |
| Complete sociopaths. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't register any of the normal emotionals, like things you go through when you're lying. | ||
| Where are you born? | ||
| Mars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, looks like he was born on Mars. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Checks out. | ||
| One day, I think they're going to have something. | ||
| There's a real fear that... | ||
| You know the idea of Minority Report, right? | ||
| It's fucking so good. | ||
| It's a good movie. | ||
| It is one of those movies that really holds up to and... | ||
| For how old it is, like, you can tell that CGI has gotten better, but it's still pretty damn good in that movie for being that old. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I haven't seen it since it came out. | ||
| There's movies that, like, at any of the special effects, you're like, oh, that looks wacky. | ||
| Like, the first Jurassic Park, you're like, that looks fucking stupid. | ||
| Does it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But when you first saw it, you're like, there's dinosaurs there! | ||
| Freaking out. | ||
| But now it looks goofy. | ||
| The first one does. | ||
| But Minority Report, I think for being in that, like, how old is Minority Report? | ||
| 2002. It's 20 years old, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And it's still, it's pretty fucking great. | ||
| How good does Tom Cruise look? | ||

Yeah. | |
| That motherfucker is like the best-aged actor of all time. | ||
| Well, it's baby blood, man. | ||
| Well, whatever he's doing, he's doing it right. | ||
| This movie's amazing. | ||
| They showed a photo of Kelly McGillis. | ||
| She was his co-star in Top Gun. | ||
| The two of them together back then, and then what they look like side by side now. | ||
| And she's, you know, what she would call age appropriate. | ||
| She sort of let herself go a little bit. | ||
| She's got the short haircut, gray hair, and he looks like he may be aged five years. | ||
| But imagine what he puts into that. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He's got to be as dedicated as anyone can be. | ||
| There's probably a whole team at Scientology that's just dedicated to massaging his skin. | ||
| I mean, he's 60 or close to 60? | ||
| He's 85,000 years old. | ||
| He's 85,000? | ||
| How old do you think he is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's got to be 60. Right there. | |
| And he still does his own stunts, which is crazy. | ||
| The new Mission Impossible shattered his fucking ankle. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hopping off that building. | ||
| How did they let him do that? | ||
| Dude, by the way, as crazy as that sounds, jumping off of shit, the crazier thing are the aerial stunts he does alone. | ||
| Oh yeah, hanging on the side of a plane. | ||
| Yeah, how about the one where, when you fly a helicopter, there's a term that I'm forgetting that's, um, it's like a forced descent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he was like, I'll do it. | ||
| So he... | ||
| And you can't put another person in there with him. | ||
| He just went up alone and did the forced descent in a helicopter? | ||
| Like, for the thrill of cinema? | ||
| Like, so that the movie looks cool? | ||
| It's fucking crazy, man. | ||
| He's a wild dude, man. | ||
| Yeah, he's like, I'll do this. | ||
| Well, I know he does a lot of motorcycle stunts, too, which are also pretty fucking wild. | ||
| Yeah, he's doing this, man. | ||
| So here he is. | ||
| So he's doing these actual helicopter stunts? | ||
| Yes, yes, dude. | ||
| In these canyons? | ||
| And I'll dive down. | ||
| Just make sure you're rolling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So he learned... | ||
| When I went up with Burr, it's amazing how free you are in a helicopter. | ||
| You can kind of go wherever the fuck you want. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| We were going through... | ||
| This is him here? | ||
| Oh my god, look how close he is to the walls of the canyon. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's doing this, man. | ||
| Oh my god, he's plummeting. | ||
| Yeah, I got it. | ||
| Oh fucking Christ. | ||
| And cut. | ||
| That's a print. | ||
| Good job, Tom. | ||
| Dude, it actually says that. | ||
| Well, I guess it's a print. | ||
| That's fucking crazy. | ||
| It is very crazy. | ||
| I mean, that's part of his thing, right? | ||
| He does his own stunts. | ||
| Because he believes in, it's a throwback mentality to, like, you know when, probably before we were even born, that the movies were like, this is an experience. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, now we're just like, ah, there's shows and movies. | ||
| But that's the mentality of like, no, you're buying a ticket for a fucking show, man. | ||
| Like, I'm gonna blow your mind in this movie. | ||
| Does he do any movies without stunts anymore? | ||
| I don't think so, really. | ||
| Why would you? | ||
| Why would you? | ||
| Basically, this part of his career is all the Mission Impossible movies, right? | ||
| Yeah, they just shot two back-to-back. | ||
| Is he probably worried he's going to die? | ||
| Tropic Thunder's cameo was like the rare non thing. | ||
| That's a fucking great movie that you could never make today. | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Impossible. | ||
| But I mean, if you stop and think about it, he's done a couple of those sci-fi movies, which were very good, like The Day After Tomorrow. | ||
| What did they call it? | ||
| They renamed it. | ||
| Live, Die, Repeat. | ||
| Yeah, Live, Die, Repeat. | ||
| Because I guess The Day After Tomorrow was too confusing to people. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, that's that movie where he keeps dying. | ||
| That was cool. | ||
| Edge of Tomorrow. | ||
| That was a great fucking movie. | ||
| Was that with Emily Blunt? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That movie was rad. | ||
| That's a great fucking sci-fi movie. | ||
| But you ever think about how relevant Minority Report still is, right? | ||
| Because it was basically kind of what we're talking about. | ||
| It was like telling you and then showing you in the end that you get it wrong. | ||
| And it can... | ||
| Look at these movies, man. | ||
| All the movies. | ||
| The Jack Reacher ones, that one was not very good. | ||
| But these Mission Impossible movies, I mean, if that's your kind of movie, he fucking nails it. | ||
| I love the Mission Impossible movies. | ||
| Those are fun movies, man. | ||
| Collateral. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's cool, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He hasn't done those for, it's been 20 years almost. | ||
| He's done a lot of fucking movies, man. | ||
| 51 as an actor, it says here. | ||
| 51? | ||
| That's 51 years of filming. | ||
| I mean, how many do you film a year? | ||
| I mean, he could do a couple. | ||
| I guess he could do maybe a couple. | ||
| Untitled Space X Project. | ||
| Looks like Live, Die, Repeat is another one. | ||
| Yeah, that's... | ||
| No, like a new one. | ||
| Oh, another one? | ||
| Yeah, it says Repeat and Repeat. | ||
| Repeat and Repeat. | ||
| Oh, Repeat and Repeat. | ||
| When is that coming out? | ||
| I'll see that. | ||
| It says rumored too, so. | ||
| There's not enough good sci-fi movies. | ||
| That's my favorite. | ||
| There's not enough good movies, period, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, you look through the trending movies and half of it's fucking dog shit. | ||
| Have you seen anything recently that's any good? | ||
| It's hard to see. | ||
| They all blend. | ||
| Yeah, sort of. | ||
| It's almost like there's too many of them. | ||
| I started watching that documentary last night on... | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Crime and... | ||
| About the mafia guy that owned a trash company, Galante. | ||
| And he... | ||
| This is? | ||
| This is on Netflix. | ||
| It's called Crime and... | ||
| I forget what the fucking full name is. | ||
| Bert turned me on to it, and it's a guy who's essentially like a real-life soprano. | ||
| He was, you know, mob associate or affiliate, and he ended a trash business in Connecticut, a huge one. | ||
| And his son was a hockey player in high school and got injured and wouldn't be able to play hockey again. | ||
| So he bought him a minor league hockey team at 17 and was like, it's your team. | ||
| And he became president of opera. | ||
| And I'm like halfway and it's hilarious. | ||
| It's crazier than shit. | ||
| This kid's like running a fucking hockey team as a senior in high school. | ||
| You know what I did see recently that I'm in the middle of right now that's fucking great is the new Cocaine Cowboys, the King of Miami. | ||
| Billy's thing, right? | ||
| Yeah, Billy Corbin. | ||
| Yeah, I started watching that too. | ||
| There's an endless stream of Miami cocaine stories. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I think he'll be in his 70s with a new Miami fucking cocaine story. | ||
| Billy's so interesting because he's so smart, but yet he loves Florida and Miami in particular. | ||
| He embodies Miami. | ||
| Even in his tweets, it's all about shit that's going on in Florida or Miami. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Or old stuff that happened there that he's finding out about. | ||
| Well, it's because it's such a fucking unique culture. | ||
| It is its own thing. | ||
| There's nothing like Miami. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's literally like another country that speaks English and happens to be connected to us. | ||
| And by the way, English is a second language. | ||
| I remember one of the first times I went to South Beach... | ||
| Which isn't, you know, Miami people will be like, that's not all Miami. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| But you're walking down Collins or Ocean, and you realize you've walked 20 blocks, and you haven't heard English yet. | ||
| Like, you hear everything but English. | ||
| I mean, that's a very rare thing in the United States, right, to be walking around. | ||
| You're like, no one's speaking English here. | ||
| Have you done a Spanish-speaking show down there? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| I had one booked, and we had to redo it because of, like, move it because of COVID. But... | ||
| Right now, I've done them in California, Arizona, and Texas. | ||
| Now, when you do them, do you have to prepare for those differently? | ||
| Yeah, a lot more than an English show. | ||
| Do you prepare your language? | ||
| Well, first, I learned how much I needed to improve. | ||
| That's why I started doing the Spanish podcast, because I realized how much it had deteriorated over years from not using it, really. | ||
| It's gotten a lot better. | ||
| My Spanish is still not... | ||
| Great, great, but it's gotten a lot better just from doing... | ||
| Are you fluent now? | ||
| I would say I'm definitely conversationally fluent. | ||
| I make my errors. | ||
| I make grammatical mistakes all the time, but it's still gotten better. | ||
| I even started doing grammar lessons on a website because it's helped me. | ||
| But talking to people is the best way. | ||
| Talking to people is the best way. | ||
| So do you just call your mom? | ||
| Yeah, I try not to call her, but I fucking... | ||
| No one wants to get corrected by their mama. | ||
| I'm like, just fucking, let's talk about something else. | ||
| But yeah, I talk to friends. | ||
| There's a couple, you know, like Richard Villas, a friend who's a comic, who he toured in Mexico. | ||
| His Spanish is excellent. | ||
| And I'm doing that podcast. | ||
| I met so many Spanish-speaking, like native Spanish speakers who speak perfect, perfect, like the way we speak English, essentially, right? | ||
| And so you talk to them and then sometimes, you know, they'll correct you. | ||
| And it's like, it's the best. | ||
| You actually go like, oh, I wish. | ||
| Like sometimes it's an error you've been making for years. | ||
| And you're like, no one's ever corrected me. | ||
| Some of the reasons why no one's corrected you is like, you know you speak English to somebody that speaks English as a second language? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they'll say, well, we was there earlier. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know what they mean. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you're, you know. | ||
| You don't want to correct me. | ||
| How often are you going to be like, excuse me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| We were there. | ||
| You know, it's not... | ||
| So you find that people are doing it out of almost like a courtesy, but what you learn is when you're trying to improve it, you go, no, I want you to correct me. | ||
| And so some people I've told have done that to me. | ||
| And it's improved it. | ||
| Doing the shows actually is a really great exercise in improving it. | ||
| The hard part for me is that some people don't understand that, you know, in English when we do stand-up, the way that the act gets rock solid is by performing it over and over and over. | ||
| In Spanish, I'm doing the show like once a month, you know, or maybe four times one month and then I don't do it the next month. | ||
| So I don't ever, I haven't been able to get into that rhythm of like, oh, it's getting tighter and tighter and tighter. | ||
| So you've got to kind of be conscious while you're doing it. | ||
| Oh, I'm so focused when I do it. | ||
| It has taught me how much more I should be focused on my English act. | ||
| Because I really fucking study the notes, I listen to the set, and I'll call somebody, I said this, and he's like, well, you should say that. | ||
| Things like that. | ||
| And it's helped. | ||
| For sure, but I won't be able to feel like the Spanish set is solid if I don't block out time and go like, I'm doing the Spanish set for like two months or something. | ||
| When you took time off from the pandemic and then you went back, how many months off were you of complete no stand-up at all? | ||
| Dude, I think five. | ||
| Five? | ||
| Five, which is a lot less than I found out. | ||
| Some people waited. | ||
| Some people waited over. | ||
| Duncan waited over a year and a half. | ||
| Yeah, I did five. | ||
| I remember my first set back. | ||
| You know, you had sea legs. | ||
| You're just like, whoa, what's going on? | ||
| Did you do a headliner set? | ||
| Well, I probably did a—I'm trying to remember now. | ||
| I probably did a couple L.A. 20-minute, 15, 20-minute sets at some of these outdoor shows. | ||
| Yeah, I definitely did that. | ||
| So I did a few of those, which felt... | ||
| Dude, I was stressful. | ||
| I felt stressed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I was doing all new. | ||
| I wasn't doing old stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, really? | |
| Because my special came out during the pandemic. | ||
| That's even crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it was stressful. | ||
| And I was like, you know, like, what else is going on? | ||
| Like, I was fucking... | ||
| Stammering. | ||
| But then when I did the first set back, I want to say it was probably like, I probably did like 50. Like after doing a few of these outdoor 15-20 minute sets. | ||
| But by the second, I was doing two shows a night. | ||
| That second night, I was like, oh, it feels like it's been two weeks off. | ||
| It didn't feel like five months anymore. | ||
| I took off March to July, and then July I did the improv in Houston, and that's how it felt to me. | ||
| The first night, first show, I was like, oh my god, do I even know what I'm doing? | ||
| And the people were so excited to see comedy. | ||
| So excited. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| They were like, this is crazy. | ||
| We're out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're out. | |
| We're going to a comedy club. | ||
| So their enthusiasm helped. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And that enthusiasm has kind of stayed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I realize I've been touring a little bit now. | ||
| A lot of people, they're telling me, like, it's my first night out in 16 months. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So there's been quite... | ||
| Like, when we did Vegas... | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That was fucking insane. | ||
| That was insane. | ||
| That energy was wild. | ||
| But that's going to always be insane. | ||
| Those are 14,000 people shows. | ||
| That's true, but I felt like it was even another level. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was real. | ||
| Well, it was because this was before the Delta kicked in. | ||
| So everybody was like, Vegas is back! | ||
| It was July. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was the week after July 4th weekend. | ||
| I remember that because I worked July 4th weekend my own shows in Vegas. | ||
| And then the next weekend I went back and did it with you and Chappelle. | ||
| That was one where two people I know got COVID that weekend. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I was like, oh, Jesus. | ||
| That shit was crazy. | ||
| I still remember that. | ||
| I was like, this is nuts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nuts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it felt like everything was back. | ||
| It did. | ||
| And now it feels like everything's back, but it probably shouldn't be. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it has that feeling. | ||
| Like when I was in Florida this past weekend, last week, I was like, this is a little sketch. | ||
| And then when I wound up catching COVID. Yeah. | ||
| Also, I get the sense, too, that people, a lot of people are like, yeah, I'm not doing this again. | ||
| Like, I'm not staying home again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Businesses, like venues, promoters, they're like, yeah, we will definitely go bankrupt. | ||
| And they're basically like, unless there's a federal fucking mandate, this shit is not shutting down. | ||
| And I don't think there can be anymore. | ||
| I mean, I think, and especially with people that have protection, people that have already been infected, and people like yourself that have been infected, and on top of that have been vaccinated, which is supposed to offer an additional layer of protection. | ||
| Those people are like, fuck it. | ||
| I have a bunch of gigs coming up where I've been notified by the promoters That the state is dictating. | ||
| You have to show up with proof of vaccination and or negative tests. | ||
| I would be fine if it was and or, but like New York City is the most stupid. | ||
| They're so fucking dumb because there's people that have had natural infection, which offers more protection than the vaccine. | ||
| Look, there's people that got vaccinated in July, right? | ||
| Eight months ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nine now, right? | ||
| Excuse me, January. | ||
| They got vaccinated in January. | ||
| Nine months ago. | ||
| And they can go anywhere and do anything. | ||
| And then there's people who were infected with the disease two months ago. | ||
| They have much more protection. | ||
| And those people can't go anywhere. | ||
| You can't go to restaurants. | ||
| You can't go to live shows. | ||
| It should be antibodies or proof of vaccination. | ||
| And really, legitimately, it should be a negative test because we know that if people have been vaccinated, they still get it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, the real thing, because I was always pretty much like, what are the doctors saying? | ||
| And On board with being vaccinated. | ||
| I didn't do it for a while because my doctor was like, you don't need it. | ||
| But then, you know, learning about what's going on in Israel is like really the eye opener, I think, because you have 80% of the population over 12 is vaccinated. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, we have record number of infections. | ||
| People in the hospital. | ||
| It looks like original COVID data. | ||
| And they have mostly vaccinated population. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| And there was something recently, was it North Carolina or South Carolina, where they were going over the numbers of how many more people have been hospitalized, you know, this month versus previous months, and how many of them were actually vaccinated and still are getting wrecked. | ||
| Because if you're... | ||
| Again, you're nine months in. | ||
| They're saying now that the vaccine's protection wanes after X amount of months, depending on who you are and how healthy you are. | ||
| One thing I think is clear is we have no idea where this thing is going, but it's definitely not going away soon. | ||
| It doesn't seem like it is. | ||
| We thought it was just a couple of months ago, which is crazy. | ||
| I thought that was the end of it, man. | ||
| And it's clear that it's going to be hanging around for a minute. | ||
| Well, then there's these other variants that you keep hearing about where the vaccine has no effect on it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There was the Delta, which I thought that was the end-all. | ||
| And then now there's another variant. | ||
| There's a couple other ones. | ||
| There's something called the Lambda, apparently, and then there's something else. | ||
| Was it the MU variant or something like that? | ||
| Yeah, the MU and then the C2. There's a number one. | ||
| C2, 6, 1. Fun times. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Who the fuck knows? | ||
| Who the fuck knows? | ||
| Apparently, the company that originally made Ivermectin is working on something that's similar to Ivermectin. | ||
| That's an antiviral treatment that you take, but they'll have a patent on it, so it'll be promoted. | ||
| The other thing about Ivermectin is it's generic. | ||
| I really feel like you should get royalties. | ||
| That's just my own point of view. | ||
| I shouldn't. | ||
| It's nothing to do with me. | ||
| Pierre Corey and all these people that have been actually treating people. | ||
| It's just, what's really strange is these people that are not doctors that are super confident that it does nothing. | ||
| When these doctors who are treating people... | ||
| Mostly not doctors that have the strongest opinions about all of this. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's wild out there, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's that they don't care. | ||
| My situation's a perfect example because they don't care if you get better. | ||
| It's how you got better. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And whether or not you did what I told you to do. | ||
| Because if it was just, oh, look what he did and he got better so quick, people would actually be asking me and celebrating and examining how I approached it. | ||
| Yeah, that's interesting that there's no narrative about that. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| I mean, what's the excuse for why I got better quick? | ||
| I'd like to hear it. | ||
| I mean, I literally got better with no treatments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because you had that other variant, though, the alpha. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Which they think was like, that was the one to catch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man. | |
| Young Jamie was exposed to the new variant, and his immunities, his antibodies are jacked. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So apparently he had come in contact with it, as had my whole family. | ||
| My whole family, their lines, I got their antibody tested, and they're fresh. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they had come in contact with the Delta before I got it. | ||
| There was a bunch of times where everybody around me got it. | ||
| Obviously, you never know if you would have got it, but I really maintained that what happened was I fucked up and I got drunk and stayed up really late and just wrecked myself. | ||
| On tour, I've gotten sick. | ||
| This is pre-COVID. Sick. | ||
| Fucking wrecked sick. | ||
| From a lack of sleep and just going too hard and not taking care of myself. | ||
| And the flights. | ||
| The flights are fucking brutal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Especially on a... | ||
| You're on a go, go, go schedule. | ||
| Yeah, if you're doing like three, four nights in a row like I was in Florida, you're flying every day. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Flying in Thursday, Friday morning you're flying somewhere else, Saturday morning you're flying somewhere else. | ||
| And you stay out drinking one night, you slept four hours, you get to the next city and you're like, I'm going to rest. | ||
| You don't really rest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You go do two shows or whatever and then you do it again the next day. | ||
| I also hit the gym every time I land. | ||
| My routine is to avoid the jet lag. | ||
| I always go straight to the gym. | ||
| I put my shit in my room. | ||
| I go right to the gym. | ||
| That's the way to do it. | ||
| That's the only way that I've ever found that kills the jet lag. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It gets my brain fired up. | ||
| Especially on that international shit. | ||
| The thing to me too is like there's something about hard cardio that it's always real good to do before a show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because hard cardio, you know that runner's high thing? | ||
| That's real. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Something about hard cardio gives you this sort of like looseness. | ||
| Yeah, and alertness. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's why I do it. | ||
| So my routine is pretty much now we do strength stuff in the morning and then cardio pre-show, two hours pre-show. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| And I do... | ||
| You bring somebody with you? | ||
| Yeah, I bring a trainer on the road. | ||
| Ooh, fancy man. | ||
| The great Sean Nix is with me on the road. | ||
| Ooh, so fancy. | ||
| And it's great. | ||
| I mean, I feel so much better since I've done it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, my tour just started, but, you know, he's there. | ||
| We're looking at food we're eating, and then... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
| You know, eat right, lift or, you know, strength training. | ||
| And then I like that feeling of you should have to cross the 30-minute mark at least and, like, really have a sweat going. | ||
| And my brain goes from, like, it's here, like, and then, like, eyes wide open. | ||
| And you're like, this alertness is how I like to feel going on stage. | ||
| Do you eat? | ||
| Before a show? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But now I like to eat... | ||
| If my show is at 8 o'clock, I want to eat at 5, maybe 5.30. | ||
| And then if I have two shows, I found that I can eat between the two shows if it's real clean. | ||
| I'll have chicken and spinach. | ||
| And then I don't feel heavy. | ||
| I just did somewhere between 30 and 50 minutes of cardio. | ||
| And you did that first show, so you have an appetite worked up. | ||
| The main thing is that it's so clean that you don't feel any of that heaviness. | ||
| I'm not like burping. | ||
| It's just like chicken breast and spinach. | ||
| If I have to eat within an hour of a show or two hours of a show, it's just fruit. | ||
| Oh, fruit, yeah. | ||
| I treat it the same way I work out. | ||
| You can't eat a fucking meatball sub and then try to work out 40 minutes later and you'll feel like shit. | ||
| And that's the same way I feel about food. | ||
| Getting on stage. | ||
| I've done the opposite so many times. | ||
| It's a real problem if you're starving. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Because you'll just go fuck it and just go do it. | ||
| Yeah, if you wait until you're hungry, hungry, for me it's always poor decisions. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And then I'll be like, what did I just do? | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| When you're tired and you're starving, I always go immediately to fast food. | ||
| That's what I want. | ||
| If I'm hungry and I'm tired, I am immediately thinking burritos, soda, I want fries. | ||
| It's the worst decision. | ||
| And then as it ends, you're like, this was a really bad decision that I made. | ||
| And then you're talking and belching. | ||
| Yeah, it's the worst. | ||
| You feel it on stage. | ||
| Sometimes I'm on stage just letting out the most insane farts. | ||
| Oh, that's horrible. | ||
| And you get to look at the people in the front row. | ||
| That's one good thing about theaters, or being on a large stage. | ||
| Who knows where that's going? | ||
| It's probably drifting over their heads, too. | ||
| And I always thought about holding the mic to see what it sounds like on the way out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, Jesus. | |
| That's Joey Diaz. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does he do that? | |
| I've seen Joey Diaz do that before. | ||
| He farted into the microphone. | ||
| He put the microphone up his asshole, farted, and he goes, Sookka! | ||
| I miss Joey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People are just like shaking their head like, what the fuck are we paying for? | |
| I miss him. | ||
| I haven't seen him in too long. | ||
| You know, Kate Quigley was Joey's opening act for a while. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That story is so crazy. | ||
| For people who don't know what we're talking about, Kate was apparently at a party with three other people and they all had done fentanyl-laced coke and three people died and she wound up in the ICU. Yeah, it's really scary. | ||
| I heard that she's doing better. | ||
| I don't know how verified that is, but I saw that she's doing better. | ||
| I heard she's doing better, too. | ||
| She's been in contact with Red Band. | ||
| But that guy, Fuquan, died. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's terrible, man. | ||
| Fentanyl is a fucking terrifying drug. | ||
| And today, Michael K. Williams, the actor, said that he died today, man, which is so sad. | ||
| Right before you got on here, we found out he's Omar from The Wire and a couple other TV shows. | ||
| He just died? | ||
| He was found in his apartment with drug paraphernalia, the police said. | ||
| They didn't say what it was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's really sad. | ||
| 54. If it's the same shit, that's crazy. | ||
| Because apparently it's going around. | ||
| This fentanyl-laced cocaine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is, you know, cartels. | ||
| You know, Stanhope had a tweet about this, and he's absolutely right. | ||
| That there wouldn't be these kind of drug deaths if these drugs were illegal. | ||
| Because if these drugs were legal, you would just be taking Coke. | ||
| And you would know it was Coke. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's like, if you buy... | ||
| Look, sure, people can... | ||
| If I drank this whole thing, maybe I'd die. | ||
| You know? | ||
| If I drank a whole thing of whiskey, maybe I'd get alcohol poisoning and die. | ||
| But at least I know that I'm drinking whiskey, right? | ||
| If I had one shot of that and it just happened to have fentanyl in it and I died, that's what he's saying. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| It's like this stuff is laced. | ||
| When I OD'd in my freshman year of college... | ||
| Where'd you OD from? | ||
| I took ecstasy, but then I did a big, big swig, huge, of GHB. And then I drank a bunch. | ||
| The order, though, was ecstasy, a bunch of alcohol, then a bunch of GHB. But when I had the toxicology report, they were listing all the drugs, and I was like, I didn't take all those drugs. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, but that's what was in what you took, you know? | ||
| They're like, you have opiates, barbiturates, stimulants, everything. | ||
| I tested positive for everything. | ||
| And it was basically, he was like, what you took was made in someone's bathtub, man. | ||
| Yeah, in Tijuana. | ||
| Yeah, you don't know what the fuck you're taking. | ||
| Well, that's the thing about this problem that we're in right now. | ||
| Because this is exactly the same problem that was during the prohibition of alcohol. | ||
| And people were selling moonshine. | ||
| But at least back then, it was just alcohol. | ||
| It was potent and disgusting. | ||
| But it was still just alcohol. | ||
| This is the worst case scenario. | ||
| You're buying... | ||
| Organized crimes version of these drugs instead of it being legal where you can get actual real drugs. | ||
| I'm so sad for Michael K. Williams, too. | ||
| I know he did a bunch. | ||
| He was in tons of stuff. | ||
| Always a brilliant actor. | ||
| But I remember watching The Wire and being like, this character is so amazing. | ||
| The Omar character. | ||
| It's such a layered, brilliant portrayal. | ||
| It was obviously amazingly written, but he was incredible in it, man. | ||
| Just incredible. | ||
| It was incredible. | ||
| Fucking terrifying that that has taken out that many people. | ||
| Fuck. | ||
| But I mean, even if it's heroin, yeah, that's the thing is they're lacing everything with fentanyl because it's so potent and such a minuscule amount is so potent. | ||
| Well, I read too that if you're selling coke, you can stretch your kilo of coke into like three times the amount by adding the fentanyl, you know? | ||
| So then your one kilo is three. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they're not, like, being accurate with this stuff or careful. | ||
| Fuck no. | ||
| They don't give a shit. | ||
| That's what's so scary about it. | ||
| There's no accountability. | ||
| No one gets in trouble for it, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's nasty shit, man. | ||
| And it's such a terrible byproduct of the war on drugs, which doesn't work. | ||
| It feels like even now the most conservative person recognizes that. | ||
| But yet we go, well, this is the path we're on. | ||
| Well, it's like the idea of recognizing it and then making the big change. | ||
| The big change is political suicide. | ||
| The big change is saying all drugs should be legal. | ||
| And, you know, that's political suicide. | ||
| Nobody wants to say that. | ||
| Because if they say that, they're worried that, you know, if you're a governor and you say we should legalize all drugs, they're like, you fucking hippie piece of shit. | ||
| My son died of drugs. | ||
| And, you know, people are going to use it as an excuse. | ||
| And you'll never be able to win. | ||
| As logical as it is, and it is logical, it's just an untenable position to have in today's politics. | ||
| But they're right. | ||
| We're fucked. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're fucked in so many ways. | ||
| We're fucked with the news. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| The news today is so squirrely. | ||
| It's so hard to find out what's true and what's not true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is one of the ones that gets to me the most, because I feel like it used to be not like that. | ||
| Maybe we just didn't pay attention. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| But also just to feel like our broadcasters that did the news just used to fucking, you didn't know about their point of view. | ||
| Now you know this is a left-leaning guy or gal and this is the right-leaning person. | ||
| It's like, it's supposed to be someone, like news is supposed to be objective. | ||
| It's like, this is what happened. | ||
| There's no, especially on the left, there's none of that. | ||
| That doesn't exist. | ||
| No. | ||
| On either side, really, though, it's just like, you know, even the way that they deliver the news. | ||
| Like, why am I seeing your personality shine through? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's the news. | ||
| They're like, are you seeing this shit that Biden said? | ||
| It's like, well, dude, what happened? | ||
| Tell me what happened. | ||
| And you actually have to really dig for that. | ||
| I remember I said one time that the best way to consume U.S. news is to leave the country. | ||
| Like, get your news from overseas, where they're like, here's the story. | ||
| Because it's so colored with bias in the country that you live in. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| I mean, for the longest time, people were turning to RT and Al Jazeera to get U.S. news. | ||
| Dude, when you go international and you turn on CNN International, it's nothing like the CNN that's broadcasted in the States. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| They have different hosts? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Can you watch that? | ||
| I don't know if you can watch it here, but I've traveled and it's just like from Hong Kong and there's like two anchors that you don't see regularly and they're just like reading prompter. | ||
| It's just a news story. | ||
| Yeah, there's none of that here anymore. | ||
| But I think that the problem is personality. | ||
| It sells, right? | ||
| Well, Fox nailed it. | ||
| They really changed the game with it. | ||
| When Ailes created that network and was like, give me these personalities. | ||
| And that did crazy ratings. | ||
| Then you have the competition going, we need to do that too. | ||
| And then it just became something that took off. | ||
| Fox figured out the ice princesses. | ||
| Super hot, Republican women that are really cruel. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And they're all blonde. | ||
| There's something about that. | ||
| Short skirts. | ||
| There's something about that that is undeniably hot. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Why do we like those no-nonsense, super smart, hot, blonde women in short skirts? | ||
| I mean, you're speaking my language here, man. | ||
| I fucking love that shit. | ||
| I love a blonde with attitude, man. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| Mean, blonde, with attitude, with perfect toes. | ||
| Give it to me. | ||
| It's not weird that you can see their toes. | ||
| Like, there's no other, you know, there's nothing like that in the male world. | ||
| I do not object. | ||
| I don't object either. | ||
| I'm not saying it's negative, but it's odd that they figured out that formula and it took so long, you know? | ||
| But once they opened up that Pandora's box, like, we're kind of fucked. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of people were like, I guess I like news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| No, they did. | ||
| They figured out this formula. | ||
| Well, they just figured out that that's what gets eyeballs, man. | ||
| Yeah, that's the problem. | ||
| The problem is that's what gets eyeballs. | ||
| And also, the format of this thing that you have to do for seven minutes before you go to commercial. | ||
| Because you have these little bursts. | ||
| So you have to catch people's attention and maintain it for these bursts where you'll hold them through the commercials so they'll return after the commercials. | ||
| Because if they take off during the commercials, then you're fucked. | ||
| Because then you're not going to be able to get the ad revenue money. | ||
| They need to know that you're there. | ||
| So they need to know that you're tuning in based on their personalities, whether it's Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or whoever it is that you agree with. | ||
| Or hate. | ||
| Or hate. | ||
| We used to watch news like, I need to know what's going on in the world. | ||
| That was the idea of news. | ||
| You tuned in. | ||
| When I was a kid, it was Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, And then CNN wasn't known as the CNN of today. | ||
| It was just the idea of round-the-clock news. | ||
| CNN was news that was like objective and clear. | ||
| It was anchors just reading prompter, man. | ||
| And you didn't know anything about them. | ||
| You didn't know which way they thought or leaned. | ||
| But now, what you're talking about is that people go, I want to watch somebody that I agree with. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And I want to get angry with them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want to get angry. | ||
| I want to get fired up about the shit that I'm fired up about and have somebody smarter than me break it down for me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Explain to me why I'm so angry. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's totally different. | ||
| Like, how do we pull out of that? | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| It's like, I don't know if people are ever going to start trusting the news again. | ||
| Oh, I think that ship has sailed, man. | ||
| It kind of has, right? | ||
| But isn't that terrifying? | ||
| Of course it is. | ||
| Because that opens up the door to propaganda from all sorts of foreign sources. | ||
| Look at the absolute record level of misinformation on anything. | ||
| You bring up any topic... | ||
| And if you go online and search for it, you can find a hundred things that tell you that this is this way or the opposite way, people that agree with you, people that disagree with you, and you have to do the work to find out who's full of shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You have to fucking work for it. | ||
| And that's never been the case. | ||
| No! | ||
| Well, first of all, there was never the option, right? | ||
| Like, the news had a massive responsibility because they were the only way you got the news. | ||
| You either got it from television, which was kind of watered down, or you got it from the New York Times or the Post or the Boston Globe or wherever you lived where you read the newspaper that you trust. | ||
| Well, then, you know, newspapers have dwindled. | ||
| Well, they've kind of got a little click-baity, too. | ||
| Oh, yeah, with headlines. | ||
| You click on headlines that have nothing to do with the article. | ||
| You read the article, and you go, what the fuck was that? | ||
| You just got hooked. | ||
| You got hooked by that wordplay, you know? | ||
| Yeah, you just got hooked by bullshit. | ||
| You know, this whole situation where people are saying that I'm taking horse dewormer. | ||
| But wait, so is that because that medicine does have that property as well? | ||
| There's a version of it that's veterinary. | ||
| It's an anti-parasitic drug that has been used for... | ||
| They've used it for river blindness. | ||
| I think it's also... | ||
| So that is what you took? | ||
| It's one of the things that it does. | ||
| So it has more than one effect? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what they're using it for, the people that are using it for COVID, they're using it with what's called off-label. | ||
| Whereas they recognize that there's properties that this drug has that would be effective, and so they try it. | ||
| During times of pandemic, doctors traditionally have had all these different off-label drugs to use at their disposal to try to find out what works for different ailments. | ||
| It's fucking gnarly out there, man. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| Because, again, what we're talking about, it's hard to get clear information as to what does and doesn't work. | ||
| Because there's clear information about what does work. | ||
| Like, clearly the vaccines do work, right? | ||
| That's pretty clear. | ||
| But are they the only thing that works? | ||
| That's what's not clear. | ||
| Because when there is some other thing that works along with it, then you have the problem with the emergency use authorization, then you have the problem with the right-wing versus left-wing narrative, because a lot of people think that right-wing means that you're anti-vax, left-wing means that you're pro-Fauci, you're like, what team are you on? | ||
| It's become this sort of bizarre tribal thing. | ||
| Which, during the time of a pandemic, is the strangest thing of all time. | ||
| Dangerous, too. | ||
| Very, very dangerous. | ||
| And disheartening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because people also want to know your point of view on one thing, and then you are categorized as that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, like, the vaccine is just one example. | ||
| You know, you could have your, you weigh in on abortion, guns, electric vehicles, whatever your point, if you go, I like this, and then people are like, oh, I know who you are now. | ||
| You can't possibly have a nuanced point of view, which is insane, because people are more complicated than that. | ||
| Well, I think people feel that. | ||
| That's why they enjoy these kind of conversations where people can talk openly about things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because it doesn't exist anywhere else. | ||
| It doesn't exist where there's any kind of production, where there's any executives or any networks or any people with a vested interest or some sort of a connection to sponsors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can't have these kind of conversations. | ||
| I told somebody this, I forget who I was talking to on a podcast, about how... | ||
| Remember a couple times we went to Taryn's place? | ||
| Taryn Tactical? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was so fucking fun. | ||
| And just posting there, I saw so many people like, I didn't know you were like this. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| You didn't know I liked to have fun? | ||
| Like, what are you talking about? | ||
| They made it like a... | ||
| Yeah, you're a Second Amendment person. | ||
| Yeah, and I was like, I'm at a fucking... | ||
| Awesome place with nice people teaching me a skill. | ||
| It was fucking great. | ||
| People were like, oh, unfollowing, didn't know you were one of these guys. | ||
| I'm like, this is crazy that you post a video of you just being like, I'm having a good time at this place. | ||
| Well, not only that, during the pandemic, gun sales amongst people on the left rose astronomically. | ||
| Oh, skyrocketed. | ||
| Skyrocketed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did you ever see the massive lines outside the L.A. gun stores? | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Because when the shit hit the fan during the George Floyd riots, people started losing their fucking mind, and there was giant lines outside gun stores. | ||
| A lot of people got them, and I understand. | ||
| But what was interesting to me was that I wasn't making a statement. | ||
| I was just being like, I'm having a great time. | ||
| You're just shooting a gun. | ||
| At a safe place that has experts, and it's a fun thing to do, and it's a skill set. | ||
| Man, people are like, a lot of people, the fuck are you doing this for? | ||
| I'm like, wait, what? | ||
| That's the benefit of not reading the comments. | ||
| I don't know if that's happening. | ||
| Also, with me, I think they probably just assume I already am like that. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which I kind of am. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, as far as guns go, I mean, I think you should learn how to shoot a gun. | ||
| You should know how to shoot a gun. | ||
| It should be important. | ||
| You should be proficient at it. | ||
| I do think everybody should know how to. | ||
| Yeah, I go every time I'm back there. | ||
| Every time I'm back to L.A., I go for lessons. | ||
| I went just two weeks ago. | ||
| I was back there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, by the way, fucking great guy and great staff. | ||
| They're so good at what they do in terms of being able to educate you on how to shoot properly. | ||
| I tighten up a lot of my little technical issues. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| They fucking took me from not having a fucking clue to feeling pretty good some of those times. | ||
| Feeling somewhat proficient. | ||
| I totally would credit them. | ||
| I have a membership out here, too, at a range if you want to go. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| We could always go and tighten up. | ||
| I'll definitely go. | ||
| It's a perishable skill. | ||
| It's something that, you know, it's like everything else. | ||
| You really have to practice it in order to be able... | ||
| It has to be... | ||
| In time, obviously, you never want to have to use it. | ||
| In times of need, it really should be something that's second nature. | ||
| You understand how to use it. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| I just got a grenade launcher. | ||
| We should take it out. | ||
| That's all you got? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You don't got any nukes? | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| Excited about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, in Texas, we have this weird thing now. | ||
| Here's another crazy new law. | ||
| Texas has a constitutional carry now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I have a concealed carry license, so I had to pass a proficiency test, and I had to pass a written test. | ||
| You don't have to do that anymore. | ||
| Now, just because God gave you the rights, Yeah. | ||
| I'm fine with if you know what the fuck you're doing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's not necessary anymore. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| I do like a guy passed a test. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like that. | |
| You should absolutely know how to use it and how to be safe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's fucking important. | ||
| There's got to be a place... | ||
| It's probably in the state where you can go and it's like they blow shit up. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Yeah, like really blow some shit up. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Dude, I have friends. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I have friends that like fill frigerators up with this shit. | ||
| What is that stuff called? | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| Yeah, Tannerite. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Jamie's a psycho. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a silent psycho over there. | |
| Can we go to that place? | ||
| Yeah, it's Tannerite stuff. | ||
| What they'll do is they'll set it up like 300 yards away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| There are some really crazy videos of guys doing that. | ||
| And then the refrigerator door literally goes whizzing by their head at 500 miles an hour after it explodes and almost kills them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, because they get too close. | ||
| They think they could, oh, just do it from 40 feet away. | ||
| No, buddy. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'll be behind the fucking cylinder thing. | ||
| Yeah, you want to get a bunch of sandbags and have a little tiny window that you shoot through. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| And then duck into the ditch. | ||
| And even then, I hope it doesn't land right on you. | ||
| Fucking A, man. | ||
| Tannerite is wild shit. | ||
| People use it to clear forests. | ||
| Reach out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's all I'm saying. | |
| I would like to do this. | ||
| They put it at the base of a tree. | ||
| Here, watch this one. | ||
| Watch this one. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| See? | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| He's way too close, man. | ||
| But look how... | ||
| Let's watch that again. | ||
| So he shot a fridge packed with tannerite, and the door literally flies by. | ||
| Holy shit, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And look how fucking fast that door's going. | |
| That guy is almost dead. | ||
| What match if his little kid was right behind him? | ||
| Daddy, can I just stand here? | ||
| Sure, son. | ||
| As long as you're right here, it's not going to come straight at you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, there's a lot of that. | ||
| There's a lot of assholery that comes with freedom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's part of the problem. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's one of the things about Texas that people love is that you can kind of do a lot of wild shit here. | ||
| You sure can. | ||
| But that's what's dangerous. | ||
| A friend of mine asked me to kill his zebra. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He's got an asshole zebra that keeps killing his young zebras. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he asked me to come kill a zebra. | ||
| He goes, you want to kill my zebra? | ||
| I got to kill it. | ||
| I go, what? | ||
| He goes, I got to kill this zebra. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where? | |
| In this state? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| An hour away from here. | ||
| Did you do it? | ||
| No, I've done it. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm not going to kill a zebra. | ||
| No, come on, man. | ||
| Unless I was going to eat it. | ||
| And apparently you could eat zebra. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I heard zebra tastes good. | ||
| I've had horse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You ever go to Joe Beef in Montreal? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wait, no, I'm thinking of Joe's. | ||
| Oh, in Sacramento. | ||
| Yeah, there's a couple of locations. | ||
| Oh, San Jose. | ||
| San Jose. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Near the Improv, right? | ||
| Yeah, but I think there's another location of that, too. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| I think in San Francisco. | ||
| Yeah, but Joe Beef, no. | ||
| Joe Beef is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's in Montreal. | |
| It's in Montreal, yeah. | ||
| And shout out to Fred and Dave, who run Joe Beef. | ||
| I was introduced to them from Bourdain, and it's an amazing restaurant. | ||
| And the first time I went, they served us horse. | ||
| How was it? | ||
| It was really good. | ||
| You know where I want to go? | ||
| Wherever you posted that you went in LA. Oh, Felix. | ||
| Was it in Venice? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Might be my favorite restaurant of all time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, I'm talking like even internationally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Felix? | |
| Yes, Felix in Venice. | ||
| Their Italian food is off the fucking charts. | ||
| They have a room... | ||
| I've had Janet Zuccarini, she's the owner, and Evan Funke, who is the head chef, who's amazing. | ||
| I mean, he's just a fucking artist. | ||
| A real culinary artist. | ||
| He has a room in Felix that's all glass where you can watch them make the pasta. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| So they do it there. | ||
| They have real artisans. | ||
| There's a video. | ||
| But, I mean, real artisans. | ||
| And Janet was like, why are we having this fucking room? | ||
| This is in the middle of the floor. | ||
| It's like right there. | ||
| This is so many seats and tables that we could use up. | ||
| You know, because they're sold out every night. | ||
| It's literally one of the greatest restaurants of all time. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| But the pasta is off. | ||
| Everything's great. | ||
| There's not a goddamn thing that they make that's not off the charts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm blind. | |
| Everything. | ||
| The shrimp, oh my god. | ||
| They have these prawns where you suck the heads, you know, and they're in, like, with the fucking olive oil and garlic and oh! | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Oh! | ||
| I don't even eat pasta anymore. | ||
| But when I go there, I'm eating it 100% of the time. | ||
| I don't give a fuck if I feel like shit for a week. | ||
| I'm going to Sushi Bar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sushi Bar ATX? I'm going to the one in LA. Oh, okay. | |
| This week. | ||
| Same guys. | ||
| Yeah, same guys. | ||
| I'm going this week. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Incredible, right? | ||
| Yeah, insane. | ||
| I want to go to the awesome location. | ||
| Greatest sushi of all time. | ||
| I can't wait to go. | ||
| And then... | ||
| Let's do a double date at the Austin spot. | ||
| I'll go. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
| Have you met Phillip? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| The guy who's the head guy? | ||
| Oh, he's a good friend now. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, we've become friends. | ||
| He's awesome. | ||
| I cannot wait because I love sushi. | ||
| That place is insane. | ||
| My other thing I'm looking forward to going because I love croissants. | ||
| I'm always in the- You're a croissant guy? | ||
| I'm a croissant connoisseur. | ||
| And that's my big cheat, is getting a good croissant. | ||
| Really? | ||
| By the way, I'll order a croissant, and if it is subpar, I'll be like, you can take that shit back. | ||
| I won't eat it. | ||
| Oh, because you love croissants so much. | ||
| Yeah, if it tastes dry, you're like, what is this in the fucking grocery store? | ||
| Where's your croissant spot? | ||
| Well, I don't have one here yet, even though one of my friends here is opening a pastry shop here with a top, top-level pastry chef, and he's like, her specialty is croissants, and I was like, oh, fuck. | ||
| But in LA, I have, the spot is Cinque Tera Huest Osteria, which is un-fucking-believable. | ||
| They sell out every day. | ||
| Really? | ||
| You have to call in and request. | ||
| A croissant? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And you gotta be like, hey, save me fucking two croissants, man. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| It's just a plain croissant? | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, he makes plain chocolate, almond paste, and then depending on the week, he's like, today there's prosciutto and mozzarella croissant. | ||
| He makes savory ones and pesto. | ||
| They are decadent, and they're amazing. | ||
| That sounds so good. | ||
| And I just fucking sold you 100,000 more of them. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| Why is bread so bad for you? | ||
| Because it's so good. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Goddamn delicious. | ||
| It's good that I moved away from there. | ||
| I fucking eat them all the time. | ||
| They're so good. | ||
| My number one splurge here in Austin is at Red Ash, which is a phenomenal place. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| But they have that garlic bread with bone marrow. | ||
| It's the best. | ||
| It's one of the best things I've ever had. | ||
| I had friends visit from LA and took them there. | ||
| And they're foodies. | ||
| And they're like, this is one of the top three meals of my life. | ||
| Yeah, the bone marrow's off the charts. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| With the garlic bread, it's like, I don't think food gets better than that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, that place does it other level, too. | ||
| Yeah, and he opened up a new place here called Jay Carver's. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, the head chef opened up a new place. | ||
| It's equally phenomenal. | ||
| Different type of food? | ||
| Different, slightly different. | ||
| What's it called? | ||
| Jay Carver's. | ||
| Is it also in the area, in downtown area? | ||
| His name's John Carver, the head guy. | ||
| Yeah, it's in the downtown area. | ||
| It's a small area. | ||
| That red ash is fucking amazing. | ||
| Phenomenal. | ||
| Red ash is phenomenal. | ||
| And the people are so cool there. | ||
| Everyone's so nice. | ||
| But that's like the thing that I love the most about LA, or excuse me, Austin, is how friendly everybody is. | ||
| Well, yeah, I was just telling out there that I've been here since May. | ||
| And not even comparable. | ||
| I know... | ||
| All of our neighbors, like, far better than in 19 years in Los Angeles. | ||
| For real. | ||
| Yeah, people are friendly. | ||
| I say that people go, wait, you've never had somebody wave to you? | ||
| I'm like, that's what I'm talking about. | ||
| People take care of you as neighbors. | ||
| No, it's different. | ||
| Hey man, I saw this was left outside. | ||
| I brought it on your doorstep. | ||
| I saw somebody. | ||
| Real, genuinely friendly shit. | ||
| My neighbor left a message saying, hey, if you hear any gunshots, I've got an armadillo problem. | ||
| So don't worry about it. | ||
| Lighten them up. | ||
| But just imagine that fucking message. | ||
| Like, okay. | ||
| Okay, I'm reading this. | ||
| In LA, there'd be a SWAT team in your yard. | ||
| What the fuck? | ||
| Armadillo problem. | ||
| I had a fox in my yard the other day. | ||
| Here? | ||
| Yeah, making this crazy noise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, wah! | |
| You ever heard them? | ||
| They have this weird, like, yipe. | ||
| They yell out. | ||
| I forget. | ||
| The craziest thing that you kind of get used to in a way in L.A. were the coyote packs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The packs of the packs. | ||
| Sometimes you see one. | ||
| I saw one one time jogging down a fountain with a dog in its mouth. | ||
| Just trotting. | ||
| I was like, holy fucking shit. | ||
| Yeah, there he is. | ||
| listen to this did you get that Fox Like the one in your yard? | ||
| No, I would never kill a fox. | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, unless they got in the chicken coop, which I don't have a chicken coop anymore. | ||
| The coyotes will fuck shit up. | ||
| Yeah, coyotes will fuck shit up. | ||
| Look, I would kill coyotes in a heartbeat, but foxes are fucking cute, man. | ||
| They're also really playful. | ||
| Are they? | ||
| Yeah, there's apparently, there was a baby deer in the yard, and the fox was playing with the baby deer. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're really adorable. | ||
| They're such strange creatures because wild foxes will play with people. | ||
| Did you ever see that movie Grizzly Man? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He became friends with these foxes. | ||
| With Foxy the Fox, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's my friend Foxy. | ||
| Remember he stole his hat? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And ran into her little den? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, with a hat. | ||
| When I lived on Hyperion once, on Silver Lake, we had a neighbor who had a pit bull. | ||
| And one night, I hear just the craziest sound. | ||
| I'm like, what the fuck is that? | ||
| It's like squealing almost. | ||
| Like I couldn't make out what it was. | ||
| And I look out the window and like five or six coyotes were around the door into my neighbor's house. | ||
| And the pit bull was sitting there at the door on the other side. | ||
| And they were all just like... | ||
| Trying to get them to come out so they could kill them. | ||
| Yeah, it was so crazy. | ||
| And also to see it in a city, in a city setting. | ||
| It wasn't out in wilderness. | ||
| I used to go to this pet store, and there was this guy who worked in the pet store, but he also worked in a vet's office. | ||
| And they had this big pit bull come in. | ||
| One of those big freakish ones was like 100-pound boys with a giant head and muscles everywhere. | ||
| Muscles popping out of it. | ||
| And he was caught up all over his body. | ||
| And they were like, what happened to your dog? | ||
| He's like, I don't know. | ||
| It got outside the yard. | ||
| So they stitched this dog up. | ||
| He's got hundreds of stitches all over his body. | ||
| He's really fucked up. | ||
| They follow the blood and they find nine dead coyotes. | ||
| So they had tried to corner him. | ||
| What they'll do is they'll have one will come out and go, hey, bitch. | ||
| And then they chase him and they flank him and they attack him. | ||
| They just picked the wrong motherfucker. | ||
| The power those things have, they're probably like, what the fuck did you bring over here? | ||
| What kind of demon did you bring here? | ||
| And he said it just looked like a battlefield. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| They were just torn apart. | ||
| I had a friend with Rottweiler in LA who, it killed a couple coyotes. | ||
| Those fucking coyotes are bold, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're bold, and they get hungry, and so they get really crafty, and they do sneaky shit. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| A kid in Calabasas a couple of days ago got attacked by a mountain lion. | ||
| A mom had to punch the mountain lion in the mouth to get her fucking kid free. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, let me see if I can find that. | ||
| You got it already? | ||
| Yeah, look at this. | ||
| A mountain lion shot killed after attacking five-year-old boy near Calabasas. | ||
| What the fuck, man? | ||
| 65-pound mountain lion. | ||
| 10.45 a.m., causing wounds to the boy's head, neck, and upper torso. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| The mom reportedly fended off the line, hitting it multiple times. | ||
| The boy was then driven to parents to a hospital. | ||
| He was treated. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Imagine how traumatized that kid is. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| It's a monster trying to kill your fucking kid. | ||
| They will kill people. | ||
| They will kill people. | ||
| People have to understand that. | ||
| This is not an off situation. | ||
| Your kid is alone. | ||
| They'll find it and kill it. | ||
| 20 minutes after the mountain lion was killed, two more mountain lions appeared in the area. | ||
| One was described as a full-grown adult with a radio collar around its neck. | ||
| The other was a smaller mountain lion, about the same 65-pound size of the lion that was killed. | ||
| Fuck, man. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| In Texas, they just shoot them. | ||
| There's no laws. | ||
| In Texas, if you have a mountain lion in your yard, you just shoot it. | ||
| And they go, did you shoot it? | ||
| And you go, yeah. | ||
| And they go, good. | ||
| In California, you have to have all sorts of depredation permits. | ||
| If a mountain lion's in your yard and you just shoot it, you're in trouble. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| Which is crazy. | ||
| But also, if someone walks into your fucking yard or house in Texas, you can get a fucking shot, man. | ||
| In California, the new Los Angeles district attorney, they're trying to recall him. | ||
| They're doing crazy as far as what you can and can't get away with. | ||
| I have friends that live in Venice that are saying, you call the cops when someone breaks into your house and the cops can't even do anything. | ||
| Unless that person steals a certain amount of money, it has to be more than $900 worth of shit. | ||
| They won't even arrest him. | ||
| I think it's Illinois or Minnesota, too, the nonsensical law about an intruder. | ||
| It's you as the person living in the house. | ||
| You're obligated to not shoot that person. | ||
| Who entertains that? | ||
| It's not realistic. | ||
| Liberals. | ||
| Which I am in a lot of ways, but in a lot of ways I'm not, I guess. | ||
| That's one way I'm not. | ||
| I feel like I'm definitely pretty liberal, and I definitely do not subscribe to that. | ||
| That is total insanity. | ||
| It's total insanity, and the only time it makes any sense is if you don't have a dog in the game. | ||
| If you don't have a stake in the game, if you don't own property, if you don't have children, if you're a young college kid or a young super progressive left-wing person, then you think, well, that poor person, they're not doing this because they want to. | ||
| They're doing this out of desperation, and we have to be kind, and we have to be open-minded. | ||
| But it's also putting on the person whose home is being broken into the idea that you're supposed to be calm and collected as you find an intruder in your house. | ||
| Which could be one of these fucking serial killers that we were talking about earlier. | ||
| Yeah, you're supposed to be like, wait man, wait, are you high? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Are you having a rough go of it? | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| As opposed to the reality, which is you're going to be in a full fucking panic. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And you're not going to be like, should I talk to this person first? | ||
| Especially if you have children. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| You know, Jim Brewer said this to me once when he first had kids. | ||
| He goes, I never really, in Jim Brewer's voice, really understood murder until I had a kid. | ||
| He goes, now I get it. | ||
| Now I get killing somebody that would harm my child. | ||
| I mean, you don't even blink thinking about it. | ||
| Yeah, it's a different world. | ||
| It's a different world when you're thinking about protecting a small child and then One thing that I have said multiple times, that it's a new thing as I've become an adult, is I now, because I'm a father, I think of people as babies now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which I didn't used to think of. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I think of, like, I see someone who's all fucked up, I'm like... | ||
| That's somebody's kid. | ||
| Even a fucking crazy homeless person who's covered in dirt and lying on the ground, I'm like, that's someone's kid. | ||
| That's someone's kid. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| I would say that as a parent... | ||
| I never really understood disemboweling someone until I had a kid. | ||
| But if you tell me that someone's hurting my kid, I'm all about cutting them wide fucking open. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| You know? | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| And feeding them. | ||
| What about their taint? | ||
| What are you going to do to their taint? | ||
| Take a picture of it? | ||
| Send it to their kid? | ||
| Feeding them to the pigs? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Did you see the story in Malibu? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck? | |
| Malibu machete attack against family, cost dad an eye, two homeless suspects arrested. | ||
| Primary suspect had pulled the knife on a sheriff's deputy back in April, but liberal DA George Gascon, this is the guy I'm talking about, his office filed only a misdemeanor charge. | ||
| That's fucking crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fuck, man. | ||
| Lost an eye. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| It doesn't really describe the fight, but it says that they were approached while they were eating, if the family was eating lunch, Oh my god. | ||
| They were eating lunch last Saturday at Dan Blocker Beach in Malibu when the suspects approached them, claiming falsely that the family wasn't allowed to be there. | ||
| Argument ensued and he attacked, he brandished his weapon and began attacking the father, cutting his face, an eye in his tongue, chest, and one of his hands. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Cool district attorney. | ||
| Yeah, he's the best. | ||
| Well, it's one of those weird conspiracy theories where, you know, you hear that George Soros is involved. | ||
| You know, I don't know too much about George Soros, but that's the number one guy that these conspiracy theories point to, is that he funds these super progressive, ultra-liberal district attorneys and politicians, and then hires or then funds someone even more left-wing to run against them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a very, very rich, savage businessman. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like a corporate raider, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's crazy when someone is like that cutthroat but also super liberal. | ||
| It almost doesn't... | ||
| Well, it's why. | ||
| Why is he doing that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The conspiracy theory, again, I'm not saying that I subscribe to this, but this conspiracy theory is that he literally wants the demise of civilization in the West. | ||
| He wants the demise of America, that he despises America, and that the way he's doing this is by installing Progressive and more progressive. | ||
| Like, the most progressive possible and then more progressive still. | ||
| And that doing this, which will encourage crime, decriminalize a lot of behavior. | ||
| And, you know, you look at all these fucking different places that have installed these people, like this George Gascon guy, who is—people in L.A. are freaking out. | ||
| The cops are freaking out. | ||
| They're handing out concealed carry permits in Los Angeles, which used to be impossible to get. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But now the L.A. Sheriff is like, look, we've got to do something and people have to protect themselves because the cops are not going to do anything. | ||
| They sure fucking do. | ||
| It's weird, man. | ||
| It's just such a weird time. | ||
| Yeah, Burt had that. | ||
| You know when he was building a place? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| And his place got robbed one night? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And luckily no one was there. | ||
| It was under construction. | ||
| And he said like... | ||
| A cop showed up and he was like, what are you going to do? | ||
| And they're like, what are you talking about? | ||
| What are we going to do? | ||
| You got robbed. | ||
| And he was like, will this be pursued? | ||
| And he said they laughed. | ||
| And they're like, this is L.A., dude. | ||
| No. | ||
| He just got robbed. | ||
| Does he want to stay there? | ||
| I think he loves it. | ||
| I think he loves this place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| It's spooky, man. | ||
| It's spooky because it wasn't like this just a few years ago. | ||
| It's like this demise that seems like the slide has begun and there's no mechanism in place that's going to turn it around. | ||
| There's nothing that I could see or imagine that would put a halt to this. | ||
| And who the fuck knows what's going to happen with this recall election? | ||
| I mean, maybe that'll change things. | ||
| Maybe if they realize that people are so fed up that they're going to recall the governor and they're going to install a radio talk show host, which would be pretty wild. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Larry Elder. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wait, what happened with the recall election, though? | ||
| It's still going on. | ||
| September 14th, I believe, is the election. | ||
| Is the election. | ||
| And Elder would be installed? | ||
| He'd be the governor. | ||
| Did you see what the LA Times wrote about him, that he's the black face of white supremacy? | ||
| Jesus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yes! | ||
| The LA Times has lost their fucking mind. | ||
| They've gone full social justice warrior. | ||
| The fact that that was printed in the newspaper, that this is the black face of white supremacy. | ||
| That's a wild headline, man. | ||
| That's a wild headline. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's super insulting. | ||
| It's so insulting. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| I don't know enough about him. | ||
| I don't know enough about him. | ||
| He was a radio guy, right? | ||
| He still is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I know that he came from Compton, and I know that he's very conservative, and he's one of those, you know, accountability and, you know, personal accountability and figure out your life and get your shit together, but I don't know enough about his politics and his... | ||
| Positions on things to comment on him. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| It's a crazy state, man. | ||
| It's a crazy fucked up state. | ||
| And the thing is, I don't know how that state turns around. | ||
| It's so massive, too. | ||
| I mean, in every way. | ||
| It's geographically pretty massive. | ||
| Population-wise, it's enormous. | ||
| More people in California than in Canada, for people that don't know. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| More people in the state of California than in the country of Canada. | ||
| More people in LA than in the country of Canada. | ||
| No. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Canada has about 38, 39 million people. | ||
| Count Mexicans. | ||
| Okay, you're right. | ||
| And then economy-wise, I mean, a fucking engine. | ||
| That's the biggest economy in the world. | ||
| The state is. | ||
| Did you see Newsom when they were, like, he kind of lost it a little bit? | ||
| One of these interviews where he was talking about all the great things about California. | ||
| Oh, he's high on California. | ||
| People are, you know, coming down on him and giving him a hard time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He got real agitated. | ||
| He started rattling off all the things that California's doing great in terms of innovation and IPOs. | ||
| Bro, you have nothing to do with that. | ||
| You have zero to do with the innovation in California. | ||
| Zero to do with IPOs, how many IPOs there are. | ||
| He's right on two fronts. | ||
| I don't think he has anything to do with it, but it is incredible the innovation that comes out of the state of California. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Well, the amount of intelligence. | ||
| I mean, just think about all the universities that are in California. | ||
| Think about how the amount of, like, tech, just the tech world. | ||
| Meanwhile, they're all moving here. | ||
| That's what's wild. | ||
| That big-ass... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wild. | |
| Do you know about that Google building? | ||
| I learned that. | ||
| But did you know that... | ||
| They started building that and people on that lakefront area were like, what the fuck is it? | ||
| Because they built in front of three other buildings. | ||
| So now the Google building has prime view of the lake. | ||
| Oh, they blocked all those? | ||
| Can you do that? | ||
| Well, yeah, because it was in there. | ||
| What people didn't realize who got upset here was that you could have found that 18 months before the building started. | ||
| It was in their proposal to the city to build it. | ||
| And the city went, okay. | ||
| Yeah, and it's not dumb, but it's beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, it looks like a sail. | ||
| And there's grass terraces. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| You see those parts that come out? | ||
| Is that what it's gonna look like? | ||
| Yeah, that's not what it looks like yet, right? | ||
| Yeah, but it's like halfway there. | ||
| Imagine if you're right behind that. | ||
| But you can walk outside on each of those terraces, you know? | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| And there's grass and trees. | ||
| You can jump, you can float, you can do whatever you want. | ||
| Imagine if they put nets around those terraces. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Like Foxconn. | ||
| When will someone come along that makes a fucking phone that you don't have to feel like a piece of shit for buying? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Well, because all these phones are made, first of all, if you follow phones all the way down to how the minerals come out of the ground, literal slave labor is involved in retaining some of the minerals and pulling some of the minerals out of the ground. | ||
| There literally might be a child laborer with a stick that's pulling out some of the coal tan. | ||
| I gotta say, those kids are doing a great job. | ||
| These phones are amazing. | ||
| They are amazing, but wouldn't you pay... | ||
| How much more would you pay if you didn't feel like a piece of shit when you used your iPhone? | ||
| You didn't feel like some kid has to work 16 hours a day. | ||
| If they're like verified this one has... | ||
| Yeah, of course you'd pay more. | ||
| Yeah, for sure, right? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| How come no one's come along and done that? | ||
| There's clearly too much money in the other business. | ||
| Everything's always about money. | ||
| I know, but it's kind of amazing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you have that thing? | ||
| I do this thing where I buy a new phone, but the anxiety of getting it up and running, I'll leave it in a box for months. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll be like, fuck, I got to set it all up. | ||
| I'll do that for a while. | ||
| Well, my new thing is I don't put apps on my phone anymore. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I have Instagram and Twitter on my phone because I had to post things. | ||
| But I'm better off without those. | ||
| I'm really better off putting those on another phone. | ||
| But for the longest time, I had nothing on my phone. | ||
| Nothing on my phone but a phone, and it was great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I had pictures. | ||
| I could take pictures on it. | ||
| I could text message. | ||
| I could Google things. | ||
| I remember you were posting those photos you were taking with your, what was your Samsung? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The moon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| How crazy is that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can zoom in on the fucking moon. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Someone told me there's some fuckery involved in that. | ||
| In what? | ||
| In the actual- Is there? | ||
| Jamie's laughing. | ||
| For sure there is. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Fuckery in which way, though? | ||
| Like that you're getting an image of the moon, but it might... | ||
| I don't want to misspeak. | ||
| I know that there's a digital zoom aspect to it, so they're zooming in. | ||
| But are they using a photo of what the moon actually looks like? | ||
| Like are they faking you out at the end of it? | ||
| They could be because it looks so good. | ||
| It looks so good, but let's find out if that's the case. | ||
| Like, what is the digital fuckery? | ||
| Because so many people were saying, dude, your phone is full of fuckery. | ||
| I'm like, but is it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't even look into it. | ||
| I just was drunk on the beach, going, look what I got. | ||
| Fucking awesome, yeah. | ||
| I was on vacation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was on vacation in the Turks and Caicos, and I started using that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| So I'd have to see if someone's done a breakdown of it. | ||
| I know it's called moon mode, and then they say it's using AI. So once you're starting to say that, you could go, well, AI made, you know, it pulled better images off of what it knows the moon looks like. | ||
| Yeah, see, that's the thing is that the moon itself, the position... | ||
| Like, when the moon is spinning around the earth, we're looking at the same side of the moon always. | ||
| The moon doesn't spin. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So we always look at the same side of the moon. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| So if the moon is visible, like, they could conceivably fill in what it actually looks like. | ||
| Alright, I'm going to skim through this very deep dive into this where someone has gone through the whole thing of the accusation of it as an AI trick and they're going through lots of evidence. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Is that your dad's asshole? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Stitched up pretty hardcore. | ||
| You sure he wasn't trying to make himself a pussy? | ||
| It seems like a pussy, even where it's at. | ||
| It looks like where a pussy should be. | ||
| I'll ask him. | ||
| Do you know that there's this woman, Dr. Shanna Swan, and she is an environmental epidemiologist, and she came on the podcast and was explaining to us that phthalates, Which is contaminants from plastics in particular. | ||
| That and some stuff from pesticides are changing the reproductive organs of people and radically lowering people's testosterone and increasing the amount of miscarriages women have. | ||
| And one of the ways that they find the impact of phthalates on mammals that's very measurable It's the size of their taints. | ||
| Because a male taint is between 50 and 100% larger than a female's taint. | ||
| And over the course of the years where petrochemicals have been introduced into the modern environment, particularly plastics and things along those lines that contain phthalates that leak into people's food and body and water, The human taint has shrunk. | ||
| And the sperm count has shrunk. | ||
| Penis sizes and ball sizes have shrunk. | ||
| Testosterone counts have lowered. | ||
| This is all from what we're consuming? | ||
| It's all from plastics. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| Yeah, it's terrifying. | ||
| What's her book called again? | ||
| I've asked what her book is called a thousand times, and I cannot remember. | ||
| Countdown. | ||
| Countdown. | ||
| How Our Modern World is Threatening Sperm Counts. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| It was a terrifying podcast. | ||
| She's a wonderful lady. | ||
| She's really interesting. | ||
| She's really fun. | ||
| She has a thing on her Instagram page called The Jizz Quiz, and it's all about showing how people's sperm counts have dropped. | ||
| Declined. | ||
| With the introduction of these phthalates. | ||
| It starts with a P. P-T-H-A-L-A-T-E-S. And it's all plastic, though. | ||
| Plastics and some of it is from some different environmental pollutants from pesticides. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| But they're radically changing our ability to reproduce and also she thinks it has to do with all these people that are confused about like their sexual orientation or their gender. | ||
| There's a lot of now. | ||
| Which might have something to do with it. | ||
| Because if there is people that are non-binary, if there's a direct relationship between human beings, these petrochemicals and these phthalates, and the shrinking of your taint, the shrinking of your penis and balls, and then people just being confused about sex overall. | ||
| Like lowering of sperm counts, and then the raising of miscarriage rates. | ||
| Terrifying shit, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's something that I would never guess this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why would anybody know this? | ||
| Well, when she sent the proposal to come on the podcast, my jaw dropped. | ||
| I was just reading into all the stats, and that was nothing compared to actually talking to her. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| Yeah, it was scary. | ||
| It was a scary podcast because you're like, well, where does this end? | ||
| Like, what happens here? | ||
| And it keeps declining? | ||
| Sperm count? | ||
| And it's very measurable in mammals. | ||
| Like, this is something they've known. | ||
| Oh, this is happening in other species. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You could show it in mammals that if you introduce phthalates into the pregnant female, the baby has a direct reaction to these phthalates. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| We're fucked, Tommy. | ||
| T-Buns. | ||
| It's not looking good, buddy. | ||
| According to this article, just so you know. | ||
| AI is the secret weapon. | ||
| Now that we've established the moon photos from the S21 Ultra, most definitely not fake. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| How is Samsung pulling off the seemingly impossible? | ||
| How is the S21 Ultra's 100x zoom taking a photo that bests even a $4,800 camera setup? | ||
| Simple. | ||
| AI. Samsung hasn't hidden this fact either. | ||
| An in-depth look at the S21 Ultra's camera technologies. | ||
| Samsung says AI super resolution is responsible for producing sharper than the naked eye can see photos at 10x to 100x zoom. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| But what does that mean, though, by using AI? It only does it for like 30 things right now. | ||
| And I would argue like going into this, the moon to everyone in the world looks about the same, you know, depending on light sources. | ||
| So they could use that one example as a base to be like, where are you? | ||
| What does it look like? | ||
| What can we fix in a pixel to make it look a little bit better? | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're not replacing it. | ||
| But when you're taking the photo of the moon, something's being done in the camera's technology? | ||
| In the phone, because it knows you're taking a picture of the moon, though. | ||
| That enhances it. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| But in what way? | ||
| Is that actually my photo, or is it some fuckery? | ||
| So there's some new stuff going on right now. | ||
| I've been getting some advertisements for some very good AI software to fix blurry photos. | ||
| Like photos I've taken 10 years ago that are blurry, I can fix now and make them look not blurry. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Which is pretty hard to do. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like it. | ||
| You know, through manipulating some pixels, it's not really that hard to do. | ||
| Here it says, once the camera detects and identifies the image as a certain scene, for example, the moon, then offers a detail enhancing function by reducing blurs and noises. | ||
| Additionally, in low light, high zoom situations, our super resolution processing is happening, i.e. multi-frames, multi-exposures are captured. | ||
| A reference frame is selected, alignment and registration of multi-frame, multi-exposure solution output. | ||
| The actual photo will typically be higher quality than the camera preview. | ||
| It sounds a lot like this is a very crude explanation of what's happening in a deepfake. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's deepfaking your moon photo with the moon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you see the one where they put me on the Taliban? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy how good it is, man. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| That Tom Cruise one? | ||
| Oh, that one's insane. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| And that guy who does the impression of Tom Cruise is amazing. | ||
| That's why, because he looks like Tom Cruise. | ||
| So if you're defaking the moon of a moon photo... | ||
| Are you then deepfaking it? | ||
| Because it's the moon. | ||
| It is the moon. | ||
| The problem with using an Android phone all the time is that they're just scooping up information from you. | ||
| Like, everything you do gets tracked. | ||
| Everything you do gets sold to advertisers. | ||
| Apple is way better about that. | ||
| But now, Apple, this is a thing that Edward Snowden's been talking about on Twitter a lot. | ||
| Apple is... | ||
| About to or may be considering releasing. | ||
| They haven't done it yet, but what they're going to do is they're going to be able to go into your phone to look for images of child pornography. | ||
| So you'd say, well that's good, I don't want these child porn people to be able to, but the problem is they have access to your photos. | ||
| That means they can go into your photos and look for things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's a slippery slope. | ||
| It seems like a real slippery slope. | ||
| Real slippery slope. | ||
| Not only that, what if you have a picture of your son showing his asshole to you? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like, what if your son comes in here and he goes, and you're like, listen, you little fucker, you're going to think this is funny one day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you take a picture, and then all of a sudden, you're in court. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And you're like, Tom, why do you have a picture of your son's asshole? | ||
| And then you tell the story that you told on this podcast when we think it's hilarious. | ||
| The judge is laughing, but he's like, I still got to fucking... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sorry, you got to go to jail forever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Apple in a document published on Friday detailed how it has used machine learning and enhancements to introduce significantly improved people recognition in iOS 15, including in situations when a face isn't clearly visible. | ||
| Can use their upper bodies to identify people. | ||
| So it's in the iOS 15 update as well. | ||
| Jesus, man. | ||
| Because that's going to be on the new phone. | ||
| Right, but that's not what they're concerned with. | ||
| We're concerned with, yeah. | ||
| This is in addition to, this is part of like, I had that concern with things like this that this software can do already. | ||
| Right, like where it already, like, if I have pictures of Tom in my phone, it'll show me all the pictures that I have of you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It already has that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's been doing that on my, like, pictures I've taken of you from past concerts. | ||
| People in the audience are showing up like, hey, they're in your photo five times. | ||
| I'm like, that's fucking weird. | ||
| Do I have to turn this off? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That is weird. | ||
| The scary thing to me is the child porn thing. | ||
| It's not scary that they're going to catch child porn people. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| But what's scary to me is, like, what's to stop people from putting it on someone's phone? | ||
| What's to stop someone from using that to access all sorts of other things into someone's phone? | ||
| Are we just accepting that every time you take a photo, the government gets to see your photos? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's fucking true. | |
| Not only that, the problem with the whole term government is they're just people. | ||
| And some of them are awesome, and some of them are pieces of shit. | ||
| And that's just across the board with all human beings. | ||
| You can't give them that kind of power. | ||
| That's where things get crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this is the problem that people are having with all these new pandemic laws and restrictions. | ||
| It's not that we don't need to protect people. | ||
| It's that you're giving people the power to have control over other people. | ||
| Like, we're seeing what the fuck is happening in Australia. | ||
| Australia has traded in a pandemic state for a police state. | ||
| Now, Australia is like, it's wild what's going on over there now. | ||
| They have, like, camps. | ||
| They take people and put people in fucking camps. | ||
| When you get caught with COVID, they're separating people from their parents. | ||
| Even that enforced quarantine when you arrive is pretty fucking wild. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| My friend's girlfriend, Australian, went home, and she was like, you just get taken to a hotel. | ||
| They choose the hotel, put you in the room, and they put food outside the door. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You just get stuck in your room. | ||
| But they're like, if you leave the room... | ||
| Yeah, you're fucked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You go to jail. | |
| You're fucked. | ||
| Well, do you see what's going on in Paris? | ||
| In Paris, they're forcing people to get vaccinated. | ||
| If you don't get vaccinated, you can't go to restaurants, you can't do anything. | ||
| So people are protesting against it. | ||
| There's protests in the streets. | ||
| Well, some woman got chased down by the police because she went to a mall and she tried to shop without being vaccinated. | ||
| They chase her down and tackle her and beat her. | ||
| Fuck. | ||
| There's a video of it. | ||
| See if you can find the video. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| These cops tackle this woman and they're beating her because she tried to shop unvaccinated. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's intense. | ||
| Well, what's intense is there's no logic to it. | ||
| Like, what if that woman, as we talked about before, recovered from COVID and has a 6 to 13 times stronger protection from the Delta variant than someone who's vaccinated, and they're still tackling her and beating her because they want compliance? | ||
| It's not a law that makes sense. | ||
| No. | ||
| Because it's one thing if they said, look, you have to show antibodies or show proof of previous infection or vaccination. | ||
| Well, then you could kind of make the argument they're protecting people. | ||
| But really, what we need is more testing. | ||
| You need the ability to test people on a regular basis that's accurate. | ||
| Well, definitely doing this is nuts. | ||
| It's a crazy video, man. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, people are protesting. | ||
| Yeah, they're literally like riot cops. | ||
| And they hold this lady down, and they're fucking hitting her with sticks, man. | ||
| They're beating the shit out of this lady. | ||
| And it's crazy, man. | ||
| This is for shopping unvaccinated? | ||
| Yeah, for shopping unvaccinated. | ||
| According to the tweet, though, so. | ||
| But, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| It could be something else. | ||
| That's the truth, right? | ||
| Yeah, but apparently it's been verified. | ||
| It's not taken down or anything and there's no other info with it. | ||
| No, I'm 90% sure that that's what this is. | ||
| Because this has been verified. | ||
| They're fucking her up, dude. | ||
| They fucked her up, dude, with sticks. | ||
| I mean, they're using those batons. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| The problem is power. | ||
| The problem is when you put in a law... | ||
| Dude, that is like fucking SWAT team. | ||
| It's Orwellian. | ||
| It's scary shit. | ||
| Because if you put in a law and you say you cannot violate this law, and then you make people enforce that law. | ||
| Well, the cops are going to do what they're supposed to do. | ||
| What they're supposed to do is go chase the people down that are violating the law. | ||
| Those cops are ordered to do that. | ||
| Exactly, which is so fucked. | ||
| It's fucked across the board. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah, it's not good. | ||
| But this is what people who are libertarians and people that are very concerned about, you know, past history of these kind of tyrannical laws and draconian measures, this is what they're worried about. | ||
| Is this just human nature when you tell people that they can't do a certain thing and then you have to enforce that. | ||
| Well, how do you enforce it? | ||
| You enforce it with force. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That was scary. | ||
| Scary shit, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Goddamn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's why when people say, you know, Texas is crazy for not having mandates. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| They're not telling you you can't wear a mask. | ||
| They're not telling you shouldn't get vaccinated. | ||
| What they're saying is the government is not going to force you to do anything. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| What's bad is what's happening in New York City when they're forcing people. | ||
| So now you have these business owners that are like, well, I have to stay open. | ||
| You're telling me that you're not even installing a logical position. | ||
| It's not even a logical law. | ||
| If it was a logical law, you'd say you have to be tested to come in here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because that's the only thing that really protects people. | ||
| But the criticism on Texas is, too, that like... | ||
| By banning any type of mandate that they're basically not letting a place say you have to wear masks to come in here. | ||
| I think it's okay to do that, though. | ||
| I think a business is still allowed to do that. | ||
| Are they? | ||
| I think a business is allowed. | ||
| A school is not, though, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think a school can. | ||
| My kids have to wear masks when they go to school. | ||
| Yeah, my kids wear masks at school. | ||
| I don't think that's the case. | ||
| I don't think that they're stopping people from instituting their own regulations for whatever business they have. | ||
| Let's make sure that's true. | ||
| I think, like, if you have a restaurant, you can force people to have a mask if they want to enter into your restaurant. | ||
| I don't think you're allowed to have a vaccine mandate. | ||
| I think that is a different ballgame. | ||
| That's different. | ||
| That's different. | ||
| But I think you're allowed to enforce masks. | ||
| I've seen places that say you have to wear a mask. | ||
| Yeah, a private business, right? | ||
| Yeah, I've gone to private businesses that make you... | ||
| Yeah, private businesses can, at state and local places, that would be differences. | ||
| Yeah, but you can still do it if you want to. | ||
| If you want to, yeah. | ||
| But what they're concerned, which is so ironic because this is the place where they're not concerned about interrupting a woman's reproductive rights or her right to choose. | ||
| Such a fucking wacky time, Tommy Bunz. | ||
| It's wacky, man. | ||
| I'd rather be here, though. | ||
| I'd rather be here during this wackiness. | ||
| It seems like a more reasonable wackiness. | ||
| Other than the abortion law, which is horrible, it seems like a more reasonable wackiness. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's pick your wackiness when it comes to this shit now. | ||
| How do we get out of this? | ||
| How does this country pull out of this? | ||
| I was just talking about the thing that I felt like changed so much over the course of my life was that, I mean, it was true that I was younger, so maybe I didn't have the right perspective on it. | ||
| But I felt like it used to be that people disagreed and they were like, well, all right. | ||
| And now you have to have contempt and hatred for who you don't agree with. | ||
| I think that's Trump. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I think having Trump as president just broke people. | ||
| And then it became you have to fight against that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pick sides. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| You have to pick sides and you have to fight against that at all costs. | ||
| He definitely had that effect. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He likes... | ||
| He's a vindictive guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he likes the... | ||
| It'll be interesting to see what happens in 2024. Because, you know, he's all fired up. | ||
| At least, you know, we're still a ways away from it. | ||
| But... | ||
| Talking about running again. | ||
| And then you'll actually have, for the first time, well, obviously, people will be running against him who were, like, big Trump people, who will have to trash him. | ||
| It's the nature of the primaries. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In terms of, like, right-wing people? | ||
| Well, I mean, like, Nikki Haley and DeSantis, who were, like, well, Haley one time in the administration, DeSantis, like, big Trump guy, is going to be running against him. | ||
| Unless Trump and DeSantis team up. | ||
| In which case... | ||
| That might be a fucking shoo-in. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Because you've got to remember, Biden is still deteriorating. | ||
| He's not going to get better over the next three years. | ||
| But do you think he even entertains the idea of running again? | ||
| It's a good question. | ||
| But if he doesn't, Kamala Harris is not going to win. | ||
| She's definitely not going to win. | ||
| They're hiding her. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When was the last time you even saw her talk? | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| She has the lowest approval rating of any vice president over the last 50 years. | ||
| Yeah, it's really interesting. | ||
| It's really interesting because there's not one thing that you can point to that she's done that's a tremendous error. | ||
| No, but this goes down to that whole thing of... | ||
| Remember, they said it during the W. Bush years. | ||
| I always heard the term or the expression, people vote for who they want to have a beer with. | ||
| And I think it becomes like a personality thing. | ||
| People must strongly dislike her personality. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what the reason is for her disapproval. | ||
| But it's curious, right? | ||
| Why do you dislike her that much? | ||
| Were her approval ratings so low? | ||
| Right, because there's not a thing that you can point to other than that laugh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The fucking laugh that she does whenever someone corners her on something. | ||
| She laughs at it and pretends it's ridiculous. | ||
| Maybe that's it. | ||
| Maybe that's it. | ||
| That just goes back to personality. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fuck. | ||
| Fuck. | ||
| I just wish there was like something that stood, like some person that stood out where you're like, that's our guy or that's our woman. | ||
| Like, there we go. | ||
| She's going to pull us out of this. | ||
| It always amazes me. | ||
| Like, even coming up on the last election, where you go, like, in this country that has so much innovation, brilliant minds, amazing people, that you look at your pool, who to choose from, and you're like, this is the fucking pool? | ||
| This fucking JV squad is who we're fucking picking from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, you don't see more, like, the best of the best. | ||
| I don't know, buddy. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Hey, what'd you think of my arm photos that I showed you backstage? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Tommy Buns showed me these photos that look like he got attacked by a werewolf. | ||
| Literally, it looked like he got shot through the arm by a.50 caliber. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| There were huge holes. | ||
| And then when you showed me how the guy's making your nerves go... | ||
| It's crazy, right? | ||
| How's it feel now? | ||
| Well, I'm almost nine weeks out, so I got cleared to... | ||
| I can now pick up five pounds. | ||
| I can't extend still. | ||
| But it seems like it's moving better than it was before. | ||
| Oh, it's definitely better. | ||
| It's definitely better. | ||
| It's not better than before the operation. | ||
| Give a shout-out to your doctor. | ||
| Who's that gentleman? | ||
| Dr. Mitchell Suruya. | ||
| Brilliant guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Brilliant guy at Cedars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amazing. | |
| He took the nerve from the underside, pushed it through, and connected it to a nerve here on the forearm. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| And he did an interview with me. | ||
| Oh, on your podcast? | ||
| No. | ||
| I went back to LA and filmed a segment with him where we show the photos and videos that's going to be on my live show, my next live show. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| That we're doing live from the Paramount Theater here. | ||
| See, that's the one I'm going to be out of town for. | ||
| I want to do one of your live shows so bad. | ||
| Do the one in November. | ||
| Fuck yeah. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah, if I'm home. | ||
| The whole thing is just like schedule-wise. | ||
| I'll give you the date. | ||
| If you can do it, you do it. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I love that you're doing that. | ||
| It's so fun. | ||
| Your Mom's House Live is one of the best innovations to come out of the pandemic. | ||
| I think it's a brilliant idea. | ||
| The fact that you have these completely wild, uncensored videos... | ||
| We have live shit on that one. | ||
| I can't say what it is, but people doing crazy shit live on stage that's going to be streaming live. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I can't imagine. | ||

Music. | |
| Czarface is performing live. | ||
| Yeah, it's going to be a nutty show. | ||
| It's an amazing idea. | ||
| It's beautiful that you set up this infrastructure, too, where you can have these completely live shows that people pay for. | ||
| You do a pay-per-view thing. | ||
| Ten bucks. | ||
| It's great, it's reasonable, and it's a really good show. | ||
| I know how much time you spend producing it. | ||
| You hired real producers. | ||
| We have a whole team. | ||
| And then for that one, we are hiring a whole second camera op team. | ||
| So it'll be like a five, six camera shoot. | ||
| And in that theater, it's different when you do, like we used to do it from the studio, which we'll still do again. | ||
| But when you do it for a live audience, then you get like another level of energy. | ||

Gosh. | |
| It's a brilliant idea, man. | ||
| And this is one of the cool things that has come out of the pandemic is that when Bert decided to innovate and do a drive-in movie show. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Yeah, all these different things that have happened where people have just said, you know what? | ||
| Let's figure our way around this. | ||
| We adapted. | ||
| It's genius. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're really excited about it, man. | ||
| Well, and tell people when is that? | ||
| This next one is September 22nd. | ||
| And if you go to livestream.ymhstudios.com, that's the ticket place. | ||
| And it'll be streaming live. | ||
| So it'll be, a live audience will be there, and then it'll be streaming live, and then you can watch it for, uh... | ||
| There it is. | ||
