Something came out of the background There we go We're back to everything's good to go One of the greatest bands and the greatest songs of all time every stripper's uh go-to What's going on man?
Not too much dude.
How are you?
Ah, you know just living the fucking dream We're alive on a lot of things, yep Okay.
Why can't I see you?
Oh, is it on the let's see?
Oh, yeah, that is weird.
Not sure why.
That's a good question.
That's a good question.
It's fine on my end.
It just, yeah, the Zoom call for some reason didn't want to pick up the wrong screen.
Come on, Mousie.
No, I don't want to pick it up.
I don't know.
Do I?
Does anybody know about Zoom?
I don't know.
I guess we'll have to pretend.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's showing you the splash screen that I started with.
Yes.
But we're definitely good on this end.
Yeehaw, Terry Baberick.
Okay.
That's fun for you.
Who needs to work anyway?
Carrot SK, you do have to work.
Everybody needs to go to work.
Unless you're on served money.
Just stay home.
Collect the served money boys.
Everything's going to be just dandy.
Who needs to work anyways when Justin's got the money for you?
It's simple economics.
You just print more.
Yeah.
Obviously.
Everybody knows that.
When you need more, you just go.
That's how credit cards work.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
The limit is how much you're allowed to spend each month.
And then in the next month, it's like, okay, $20,000 more dollars.
Whatever.
I mean, we're just like Ricky on Trailer Park Boys.
Just throw them in the lake.
They're gone.
It disappears.
Yeah, we're being responsible.
We're imposing limits.
And then, you know, when you don't want anymore, you just get rid of it.
Everything's fine.
Oh, man.
So how's everything been going on your end?
I guess if anybody don't know, Uncle Hack, do you go by, is that your name now or do you go by Brendan anymore?
You know what, man?
I feel like more people know me.
No one knows my real name.
So I just.
I feel the same way.
I say my name sometimes, but they're like, hey, Rage.
I'm like, that's not my, whatever.
We'll just, it's fine.
I guess.
It just makes it easier.
Yeah.
Having an alias is kind of nice, too.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
We could maybe muddle up some legal documents, give the state a little more time to, you know, press charges or something.
They've got to do also known as and all this other.
It's extra paperwork.
It costs them more money.
Dangercats.com.
Is that your website?
Yeah.
Dangercats.tv, Uncle Hack, Edmonton-based comedian and all-around, I don't know, piss tank.
Those are your words, not mine.
Not much anymore, man.
I've been off the sauce now for quite some time.
And no more blow.
I'm off the blow now for about two years.
That's probably good.
That's a big mark.
Probably a good decision.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
No, I was getting a little out of hand there for a while.
It tends to tends to do that.
It tends to do that to people.
Some people fun.
Well, yeah.
Is it a good idea?
Not really.
No.
Not entirely.
Some of the worst decisions were made while on cocaine.
Yeah.
I can't understand like how some of these business CEOs and shit like that operate at the pace they do, but then they also have like a degree backing them.
I am just a pipeline.
I've got nothing to fall back on here.
If I fuck this up, it's over for me.
I can't just like dip into the hedge fund and bail myself out and get new interns that I didn't sexually assault or something.
Not saying that that's what you've done, but these CEOs, these Wall Street guys, like, yeah, I have no idea.
I have no idea.
The pace that some of these people are.
Could you like, I'm not a shitload of hard drugs or anything crazy like that, but I definitely drink and do, you know, I've, I'm 35. I was in the infantry.
I've, there's some stories.
I, I, you ever sit there and go, just imagine just being Robert Downey Jr. for three days in the 90s, you know?
Like, how, how?
Nicholas Cage or Charlie Sheen, you know?
Molly Crew, how did they like how?
How does that work?
You know what I mean?
It almost, you need it to work, you know?
Yeah.
Like, how do you show up to a show and play that good?
Maybe it's bad.
I don't know.
You're always going off.
Everybody's fucked up in the audience.
The show is awesome.
They don't, they could have been horrible.
Yeah.
It could honestly sounded like Vince Neal now.
Have you heard that guy now?
Yes.
It's funny.
I was just looking on your website and I forgot about it because he does suck now.
And look, this is, he walked off a show.
My fucking voice is shot.
He looks like shit.
Dude, they should have stopped.
They've retired like five times now.
They keep doing it like, that's it.
This is the last show ever.
And then they come back and Vince put on another 20 pounds.
And you're like, please stop.
It's like you're killing, you're killing the memories, man.
Yeah, like it's over.
Yeah.
Tom, Tommy Lee's all responsible.
You know, it's like, this isn't, you know, come on.
This is not, this isn't what I signed up for.
I know.
It's so shitty to see your heroes act the way they do now.
Like he's just drunk as fuck.
His kid beat him up.
And like he's like, yeah, his son beat him up in his own house.
And like, this is like three or four years ago.
This is Vince Neale.
He was like Brandon Lee.
No, Tommy Lee.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kid beat the shit out of him.
And then they're like, sorry.
I was just thinking, like, imagine when he was at like his peak.
He's like 27 years old, on top of the world, super famous, super millionaire, whatever.
He's probably laying in bed somewhere with like three prostitutes or something, right?
No, free.
They would have just climbed in there.
And he'd be like, I'm the fucking best.
I'm the baddest guy in the world.
Fast forward, like he has no idea.
It's like, Tommy, in 40 years, you're going to get the Shit kicked out of you by your own son in your own house, and you're going to lose your glasses and you're not going to know where they are.
And you're going to be, you know, you're like, oh, you broke my glasses, you little pizza.
Fuck you, dad, you fucking loser.
Pushes him down the stairs.
Ah, my back.
Like, that's going to be you, Tommy.
You're not going to see this coming at all.
Yeah, man.
That must be like, it just sucks.
Oh, it just sucks watching these guys on Twitter just being like, ah, Trump's the damn mom.
You guys fucking like free-based heroin, man.
Like, what?
You guys are way cooler than this guy.
And you're like getting all uppity.
Like, you guys were badass.
Everybody wanted to be you.
And now you guys look like fucking losers.
Exactly.
It's so crazy.
Like, that's what made you popular.
I mean, you guys were rebels.
And, you know, like Metallica was like that.
Like, they're all, and now they're all, I mean, Metallica hasn't gotten too political.
But I mean, I know what you're saying.
A lot of these bands and all these people, oh, you know, I just wanted to take a minute to say that, you know, we're living in a really divided world right now.
Like, shut the fuck up.
I want the guy that came out and like sculled a beer and then called somebody a faggot in the crowd.
Yeah.
Toxic, toxic message.
Rage against the machine.
Yeah.
Now it's rage for the machine.
It's so pathetic to see, man.
Like, and like all the new music coming up, like, I can't really get, there's like a few rappers I don't mind, but that's a boat where I draw the line and it just sucks.
Like this generation coming up sucks so much.
Yeah, it really does.
And there's nothing good.
Like, that's why like I'm still playing all the old music a lot of times.
It's like, well, everything basically started to suck after like 2002.
I was just laughing the other night and playing, playing a song that had Jacoby, whatever the hell his guy's name is, the Papa Roach guy in it.
Still's got the same hair from the fucking, from the fucking cut my life into pieces.
This is my only haircut.
Like, dude, it was 24 years ago.
The warp tour was 20 years ago, man.
What are you doing?
Give it up.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're still.
Nobody's wearing like the black earrings, plug earrings no more.
Yeah, the goth thing.
Remember that?
They thought it would last forever.
I'm a goth, man.
Oh, no.
Good lord.
You know, what's so funny is that now that we're talking about this, I came across like Crazy Towns Instagram and the guy still looks the same.
That's hilarious.
I remember them.
Crazy.
All those old like 2002 bands, like rock bands, like they were so hardcore then, but it was like pop punk.
But even pop punk was still more hardcore than this that's happening now.
Yeah, like no, like back in the day, like in the, like in our time, we're probably close to the same age.
I'm 35. 35 years older than me.
Oh, God.
I'm an ancient fuck.
I'm grandpa fucking, if you're uncle, I'm, you know, it all goes by fast.
The last five years felt like 30. Something happens once you hit 30. And then it's like every, every, every month of normal aging is like, let's just turn that up about 2,000 fucking percent now.
Like the other day, like my leg just hurts.
And I have no idea why.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I can still run.
I'm still doing squats at the gym and everything, but I'm like, it's still for weeks now.
I'm like, it just hurts now.
Like, it's just old.
That's just what happened.
All this gray happened in like in like a year.
It just was like, wham, now you're old.
So, you know, it's, yeah, it's fun.
I feel like though, like coming into like my 30s, dude, like, like my 20s were out of control.
I was like, you know, I, I did, I covered all the bases that I needed to cover and I got everything out of my system.
I fought pro MMA and then went and started this shit show and then did the fucking, got the drugs and the drinking all out of my system.
And now like, now having that backstory and everything, like getting into comedy and having all that like kind of life experience almost makes it easier.
And I shouldn't say easier.
It makes it more fun.
And then you're able to like, I don't know, you're a little more emotionally intelligent.
You're able to like look back on yourself and be like, you're a fucking idiot.
100%.
You have to, and that's the funny thing.
Like a lot of the really intellect, like mature people that I respect a lot.
And I'm like, yeah, they, they were fucking, they did some of the dumbest shit ever.
You know, like you have to be a kind of a maniac to learn how to not be one.
And then these people criticize, oh, I can't believe.
Okay, calm down, Susan.
The wildest thing you ever did was change the fucking bedroom, you know, bank colors or something.
I'm gonna, I'm doing it this way.
And you'll see them do it.
I'm getting new drapes this weekend.
I'm so excited.
Like, what?
You're like, what?
I woke up in the back of somebody's pickup last night.
Yeah.
I don't even know who you, yeah.
Yeah, man.
Like, it's funny.
Oh, I am talking over you.
Sorry.
Oh, it's okay, man.
No, it's just, you know, people that don't live at all and they think they know shit.
And it's like, well, you didn't live.
So how do you know anything?
And they, and they're the ones in charge of everything, which, you know, the opposite.
You know, just don't, just don't put 25-year-old men in charge of anything.
Bad idea.
No.
Fuck no, man.
Unless it's like.
I look at my grandpa.
My grandpa is like, he's the fucking king, man.
Like, he's the best.
Yeah.
And like, he lived his life like, man, he was revving at nine grand all the time.
And it wasn't just like drinking, drugs, and all that.
He's always involved in like some fucking kind of fucked up orgy.
Loved hookers.
Like he tells me these stories.
He's the funniest guy I've ever fucking met.
But he just like, he did it because he wanted to do all this shit.
And he just like, every time I would always be over there, he'd be like, you gotta live life, man.
You gotta.
He'd like, yeah.
Grab me and like, remember when in Billy Madison, he's like, don't ever say that again.
I can't wait till I go to hike school.
Don't be normal.
Yeah.
I was, I was just talking about this last night.
Like, I think that's a big part of the problem now, especially with, you know, why everybody, not just dudes, but a lot, but a lot of people, like, everybody's afraid to do anything.
Well, especially now, safety is like the most important thing on anybody's mind all the fucking time.
So much so that no one will even say what they think.
They won't fucking do what they want to do.
They won't leave.
It's like, I'm like, you know, you could be dead tomorrow, right?
Like, think about that actually happening.
Like, not like in an abstract way.
Like, oh, I can imagine.
Like, I've almost died a couple of times and it was fucking, I remember that once that ever's happened to you, you can like remember that feeling.
It's like, you know, you know, you can think back.
It's like, remember the first hand job you ever got?
You're like, yeah.
Yeah.
You know, remember that time you were like, I'm about to fucking die.
And you're like, oh, that sucks.
That's a shitty feeling.
And then all of a sudden you're like, I got shit to do.
I got to do stuff, man.
Because it's going to be over, and these people are sleepwalking through their lives, and then they're just going to check the fuck out.
And you're like, that sucks.
That's a shame.
What did Deborah's greatest accomplishment was when she painted the bedroom the teal color she'd always dreamed?
You know, she was so happy about it.
But I wanted to ask you about that, you know, because we were saying, you know, back in the old days, I was like, I got sidetracked.
Limp biscuit is like hardcore compared to today.
Back then, they were like, ah, you know, they're kind of like pop rock kind of guy.
Yeah, they weren't like, no one was like, dude, fucking limp biscuit.
And you're like, okay, buddy.
Put the skateboard down.
You know, they're not.
But these days, it's like, oh, I don't know.
They would be banned.
You know, like Fred Durst is too fucking extreme.
But yeah, you said you got into, you started MMA.
I always wanted to, you know, do, I did a little bit like amateur stuff, but I didn't do any, like, just mostly training and through the military and these kinds of things.
Cause I mean, we weren't allowed to do it through a lot.
I mean, I did like boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai a little bit.
You did like the most manly shit.
Wow, I didn't get to fight though.
In a fucking war.
Yeah, but you were in a gunfight.
And that's, that's like, take my, I got locked into a cage with a ref and being like, okay, if this gets a little out of hand, I'm going to stop this.
You fucking shot at people and shot back at you.
That's like, that's like the ultimate battle.
It's fucking scary.
It's pretty insane.
And that's a feeling where it's like, it's not, oh man, it's not like paintball where you're like, dude, it could be like every minute, like maybe it gets better because I haven't been in a fuckload of gunfights.
I'm not like later next week, there's a guy I might be getting coming on, an old JTF guy who's fucking a legend.
And I would love to ask him about this stuff.
But like, I don't know if it gets that much easier where it's just kind of routine.
I think it does.
I think a lot of the old, the guys have done like so much, they're just like, I didn't even bother me.
I don't even care.
Or it never goes away.
But like every the first time, I was like, every second in the back of my head is like, you could just turn and then done.
That's it.
You don't even see it coming.
You just lights out.
Everything goes black.
And I'm like, this is fucking your heart rate.
It's like 200 man.
It's insane.
But yes, but I, but no, I love fucking that.
That's people need to do more of this shit.
I mean, men should fight.
They should, not because, I don't know if they should be forced to, but you should have to embrace that part of your.
How can you be a full, you know, your full potential, especially as a man, if you've, you don't even explore that part of yourself that everybody has, it's in there.
And they just hide from it or don't, no, I don't, I don't like to be violent.
I don't, well, not don't go out and attack people in the street, but it's like the hunter-killer survival part of that we all fucking need to have to live.
And that's been like sucked out of society somehow.
Well, it's, you know, beaten out by media.
Yeah.
Toxic masculinity.
Like it's basically all just been thrown the fuck away.
Somehow Dana White is just going strong.
People are snapping their fucking legs in half and he's like, whatever, show goes on.
He's fucking wild over there.
But it's, I don't know.
I think it's important.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He is.
I love how he just like doesn't marry into all this like political shit.
And they're like, are you going to celebrate Pride Month?
He's like, I'm not.
If you want colors on your shorts, go ahead.
I don't give a fuck.
It's up to you.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's important.
We don't do this fucking, yeah.
Like he's just like, listen, we're a fucking fight organization.
We show up to fight.
I don't give a fuck what, whatever message you want to do.
If you, hey, sell tickets, I don't give a shit.
That's what I want.
One ass is in the seats.
More attention on us shit.
I don't care what you fucking do.
So how did you get into MMA?
Because he seemed like a hockey guy.
Like you obviously are a big hockey fan.
I was wondering, like, I'm surprised you didn't.
Or maybe, was it one of those things where you're like, listen, if you're not going to be Gretzky by the time you're 13, just fucking pack it in because it's so goddamn competitive in Canada.
And then you just be like, I'll just, I'll just go.
I'll try cage fighting.
How did you get into that?
Yeah, it was like, I just like, obviously I was a fan of CD.
I remember my buddy showing it to me when we were like 14. He's like, have you heard of this shit?
And then we started watching it and then it became our thing.
And I just like became a fan instantly.
And obviously hockey, I was more of a shit disturber.
I wasn't that tough.
I could get beat up.
I could take a hit.
You were Sean Avery.
Yeah, essentially.
And like, I would fight if I had to.
Like, it was my last resort.
And then I just like really got more and more into MMA.
And then like my last year of hockey, I was like, I'm not going to go anywhere.
I don't want to play juniors.
I'm kind of done with this.
And junior B, there was a junior PB team that just started.
And I was like, I don't even want to bother with that.
I moved to Lethbridge and I knew there was an MMA gym up the up the street from where I was living.
So I was just like, I'm going to go there and check it out.
I went in there with full potential of being like, I'm going to be a fighter.
And then I went in, I trained for a week and I was like, I'm not doing that.
And I just sucks.
Yeah, it was hard.
And like, I just like, I liked it so much.
I just kept going and going and going.
And after about a year, my coach, Lee Mean, just like looked and he was like, hey, what's your weight?
And I'm like, I don't know, 165 pounds.
And he's like, okay, you can make a lightweight.
We're going to put you in an amateur fight out in Saskatoon.
I was like, oh, okay.
Sure.
And he's like, yeah, why not?
Test your skills.
And so luckily that one fell through.
And then I got on the local card, Rumble in the Cage in Lethbridge, Alberta.
And then that was my first amateur fight.
And then the next one was in Tabor, Alberta.
And I went pro after one amateur fight and then did it for about three more years and then came back in 2016, I believe, and took two more fights.
And then that was it.
Really?
That's crazy.
I didn't know you did that much.
I thought you only fought like a couple times.
That's wild.
I didn't know that.
Great.
That's crazy.
I fought, I think, a total of 10 times.
10 times.
10 professional fights or professional and amateur.
And people are like, oh, well, whatever.
Like 10, dude, getting into these fights, like you can get fucked up.
Like any fight you go into, it's like you take a fucking shot the wrong way or you get kicked in the fucking head.
It's like your life is different now.
So, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
You got problems now.
Dude, I had a storybook.
It was a storybook ending to fucking put a bow on it.
I came back.
I got choked out in like under a minute.
So I was pissed.
And then I started, I just like, I fucking trained really hard for my next one.
And then my next fight after that was a head kick knockout.
It was just like out.
And then I just, all right, we're out.
And then I just said, okay, that's enough.
Like you got knocked out or did you knock my body up really bad?
No, I knocked him out with a head kick.
Yeah, I think I saw that on your Instagram.
I think there was a picture or a video, but yeah, it looked good and clean right to that first site.
That's you getting knocked out of this.
Yeah, that was this one.
You're like, duh, there's the time I got slept.
I was like, ooh, that's nasty.
There is, it is on here somewhere.
At Uncle, is it Uncle Hack69, I think, on Instagram?
Yeah, there's a dude, you guys got to follow this guy.
It's fucking hilarious.
I always get a crack.
Every time you upload anything, I'm like, this bare minimum is going to get me going, yeah.
You know, minimum.
It's always, it's always fake Riggin.
Like, there's so much shit.
I love the Western Canada culture angle of the whole thing.
And it's just the Piss Tank 3000.
I'm going to play that later.
That's hilarious.
You've kept the mullet, though, I see.
You're just going to keep that.
No, it's more so.
I'm just balding.
It distracts from the top.
I'm in the same boat.
I think mine's starting to thin out.
I'm like, oh, shit, man.
I don't know.
I don't like where this is going.
I'm going to have to say something.
It's over.
I don't know if I can pull off.
It's over.
I've accepted my fate.
It's over.
I don't know if I could put it on.
Yeah, I don't get like hats, I guess.
I'll be a hat guy soon.
I'm going to hulk Hogue out of this once it goes.
Yeah, brother.
Wow.
I can't believe you.
Yeah, like I've married into the, like, I'm going, you know, I look the way I look.
I know how I look.
I fucking, it's just, it's all a joke now.
From here on out, I've made it.
My 20s were fun.
I had a riot.
You know, anything for a laugh now till I hit the grave.
Pretty much.
I mean, I'm obviously very political, but I mean, I care about this shit and it pisses me off.
But I mean, I started, I just wanted to have, I just wanted to make people laugh, man, and have fun.
And you know what I mean?
Like, it's fun.
I mean, you're a comedian.
I wanted to be a comedian.
Like, that was kind of where I was going.
Kind of what I wanted to do.
And everybody always, my whole life, I don't know if it was like that for you.
I was like, dude, you should have been a comedian.
I'm like, I don't know how many fucking times people had to tell me this before I was like, all right, fine, maybe I should try entertaining people for something to do.
But I enjoy it.
I like it.
It makes me feel good to see when people laugh and have a, you know, they feel better.
And they're like, oh, you know, it was great.
That makes me feel good.
You know, it's a fucking, it's a win-win.
It's a great fucking gig.
It's a great thing to be.
It's not like a fucking shark tank, fucking hedge fund banker where you're just ruining lives and fucking sucking up people's savings.
Like, mister, I can't afford it.
Shut up, bitch.
You know what I mean?
Like, of all the things to be, I'm pretty, like, oh, I'm a clown.
Yeah, there's way worse things to be.
Trust me.
100%.
Yeah.
This all started by like accident.
I've like, I used to send video, I'd make dumb videos and like send them to group chats and shit like that and stupid stab chats.
And then when I don't know, I would put things on like my Facebook profile of me being a jackass and shit like that.
And it made me laugh because other people, you get a reaction out of people.
And I thought it was funny.
It was funny.
I love seeing.
Yeah.
I love seeing people react to the shit.
You know what I mean?
That's the funnest part.
Yeah.
It's to see other people be like, this is hilarious, you know, or ridiculous.
Like, that's the fun part, you know.
Yeah.
And now I get to do everything I've ever wanted to do.
I've always wanted to do like my own clothing line and like things I think are cool, I guess.
And then I tried at three other clothing lines.
I failed at them.
They all fucking tanked.
And it's like the video shit.
When we were younger, we always did like the skateboarding films and like the jackass type content and like never put it anywhere.
We just kind of did it for us to film and show our buddies.
And then later down the line, once I hit like 25, 26, I started just doing stupid shit on like Instagram and Facebook and making these videos, like the oil patch shit.
And it just, I don't know, it took off.
And now I'm here.
Now I got to do like, it took that amount of time to get me to do stand up.
I've always wanted to do standup and I was just a pussy about it.
Never knew how to go about it.
And then once I got into this and built like all this shit, it was almost better that I went the other way, like started with the online content and then went to stand up because now I have like an audience.
It makes me have to stay sharp.
And now with stand-up and all that, I like the fact that like my back's against the wall a little bit.
Like I don't want to show up to these shows and be fucked up.
And, you know, like before when we go on the road, I was always the one having the best time.
I was always like the drunkest one in the bar and like doing rips in the bathroom with people.
And it wasn't, you know, I have been trying to look at that and be like, this guy's a fucking idiot.
This guy's an animal or something.
Or that.
Like, oh, God, like, how does, I don't know how you're walking right now.
Like, man, we used to back him like in the early days.
Yeah, like in the infantry, man, it was like, we would, and I still, at the time, it was normal to me.
It wasn't a big deal.
It was like, yeah, everybody's doing the, you know, it wasn't a big deal that I was drunk almost every day for years, like years of my life.
I was drunk for most of it.
Like we would show up to work.
PT starts at like 6 a.m.
6, 6.30.
You're out there getting yelled at and fucking go faster, you fuck, you know, running up some hill and guys are throwing up because we stopped drinking at four o'clock.
Like I basically didn't sleep for a week.
Like we'd sleep a couple hours in the morning, maybe.
And then you'd be like halfway through the day, like guys are passed out on rucksacks in the QM.
Like, you know, they're all fucked up or hiding, like passed out drunk.
And then you'd get, and then you'd go out, you'd get off work at five, six, and then we'd go downtown, get supper, and way we go again, you know, and then I'd go home for the weekend.
That's Friday, you get Friday off.
All right, well, I'm going back home to Nova Scotia to fucking party down there.
And I did that for years.
And it was, you know, like that's crazy.
That's insane.
I probably partied $30,000 away at least, you know.
And I was living in the shacks and the barracks and I didn't have to pay for shit.
I had nothing to pay for.
My house was free.
The army fed me for free.
I had nothing.
I had this SS Impala that I bought, fucking brand new for like $40,000.
I was driving it like a knucklehead, $165,000 everywhere.
Woo!
You know, just full retard all the time.
And it's like, that's guys in their 20s, and that's why they shouldn't be in charge of anything.
Yeah, absolutely, man.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Like, and like, well, if you didn't go through that, you wouldn't be here today.
Now you get like, you should, I don't know, man.
I think what you're doing is fucking rattish shit.
It's very unique.
And I fucking tune in as much as I possibly can.
You know, like, yeah, man.
It's fucking hilarious.
Like, your shit is so funny.
Like, so, like, what you're going is almost like an opium and Anthony, but more your style, or like, you know, like those old shows that were really fucking good because this kind of content people are starving for.
Yeah.
And as it grows and gets bigger and bigger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think people want that's like what's helped with the oh, sorry.
No, no, go ahead.
I was just gonna say, I think people like authenticity and they like real shit, which doesn't exist anymore.
It's all mass-produced Hollywood.
You know, garbage and the shit that's on TV is because it's allowed to be on TV because it fits in this tiny fucking box of what's allowable, which isn't real.
And no one's like, oh, you know, and so I was like, I'm just going to fuck it.
I'm just going to do whatever I want.
Pathetic.
Yeah.
And you yourself, you know yourself better than anybody, right?
So like to, for you just to go and be yourself and entertain people, that's like a fucking gift, man.
So it's sick that the, you know, people are getting the opportunity to do that.
Yeah, it is.
I'm like, I've every day I'm like, I can't fucking believe this is what I do now.
Like this is a, this is crazy to me.
It's like, what do you do for like, oh, well, I, uh, I sit in my house and I act like an asshole on the internet.
That's, yeah, it's pretty cool, actually.
Awesome.
I get to talk to thousands of fucking people, man.
There's this whole big community now.
It's hilarious.
I'm like, that's, uh, this definitely beats work in his fucking job that I hate.
I wanted to ask you about this, too, because, you know, I was in the military a long time and I was just enamored with it since I was a kid.
I always loved it.
I was just obsessed with it.
Once I've understood that like being in the infantry was a, was a thing, I was like obsessed with it.
I was like, nothing else matters.
It's like, that's all I need to do.
So like from like 13, 12, basically.
And then I got in at like 16, 17. But at the end, towards the end of it, it was like, I, what I really wanted was I'm trying to turn myself into a different version.
I didn't like who I was.
I was like weak and soft.
And I knew these things about myself, right?
I was like, I'm not, you know, I have an idea in my head of who I want to be.
And this isn't fucking it.
This is a way to get there, maybe.
And I got so obsessed with the idea of like, I need to be a fucking special forces commando.
That's all that I want to do, you know?
And it was like a friend of mine, a guy, a roommate I had once who in one of these special forces units was like, maybe you just like the idea of this more than, because I didn't like this.
Who the fuck?
Some of these guys literally love it.
They love it.
They're out in the fucking pouring rain in November and nobody's eating in two days or just looking at them.
He's like, this sucks so bad.
And I love this.
They're just animals.
They're fucking killing machines.
These guys are like, man, you're a psycho.
I never really fully fit it.
You know what I mean?
I was like, I just wanted to do it so bad and I was so fucking stubborn that I couldn't be like, I don't think I like this.
I mean, I don't.
And this was 14 years of my life.
So it's like, I don't think this is what I'm supposed to do.
Like, I'm pretty good at it.
I'm not bad, but I'm not like, I'm not stopping any trucks, you know, like, whoa, look at that guy.
That's never going to be me in this fucking world, you know?
And I was just so upset.
And then I was like, maybe I should do something else, you know?
And it's, I'm much more comfortable at home doing, like, this doesn't feel like anything to me.
This is very easy to me because this is just, this is what I do.
This is what I am, you know, I'm a fucking clown.
So, yeah, I know.
I don't, I appreciate that.
And I like what you're doing too.
I love the stand-up comedy stuff.
It's fucking hilarious.
I wanted to ask, so did that ever happen to you?
Like with the MMA, like, was it, was it a moment where you were like, you know, because you said you wanted to do it, right?
There must have been a point where you were like, this is, I'm going to be a fighter.
How was that difficult to be like, fuck, you know, maybe I'm not doing this anymore?
I never went into the gym with the idea of like, I'm going to be the UFC's lightweight champion.
I just always wanted to do it.
I just wanted it under my belt and like, that was it.
I didn't want to be in a regional champ.
I had an opportunity to fight for a title and I was like, oh, man, like, because if I get that strap, you know, the off chance that I do win.
And like, the guy that they were setting up with me would have murked me.
He's really fucking good.
Like a serious guy who does it.
He does want to be UFC champion.
Yeah.
That's the thutch.
It would have been a barn burner.
It would have been two guys standing in the middle and fucking throwing till one of us fell because this guy was a stand-up guy.
I was a stand-up guy.
It would have been a full-on war.
And like, there's the puncher's chance in my court.
Yeah, man.
And like, said, I was like, look, man, like, I'm not doing this because the reason I came back to fight again is because I lost a bet.
I went back training because I really liked the training of it.
And then there was a kid in the gym and he bet me if he went three fights undefeated that I have to come out of retirement and take a fight.
And he did that.
So then I came out, I fought, I lost in under a minute and I was pissed.
I'm like, there's no way I'm fucking leaving on that.
And then I trained even harder for the next one.
And then I was helping my buddy train for his pro debut and I corkscrewed my knee.
So then it was like, I was out for like four or five months and like, it was awful.
I could barely walk.
And in the, in the midst of that happening, this danger cat shit was popping off and I was doing the videos and all that.
And so I seen a different path.
So like, I always looked at MMA as like something I've always wanted to do.
I just wanted to fucking feel that.
What did I see those guys doing?
I wanted to do that.
Yeah.
I wanted, I just, I still, I don't know.
I'm getting old now.
This was like five or six years ago, right when I got out of the army.
I was, I started going back to boxing and stuff.
And I was like, I want to do just one like real fight, you know, like one professional fight, like a real fight, not like an amateur.
Like, oh, like, I want to go fucking, you know, bang away with some guy just to, just to do it once, you know, just to have that experience and know what that's like.
And I didn't do it, but I mean, I don't know, I've done other things like that.
And I've, I've done similar, like they made us fight each other in the fucking military.
It was, you know, in some of these units, they're like, yeah, you two kill each other.
You're like, what?
It just, it's way bigger than me.
And they're like, too bad.
It's war.
You know, it happens.
You know, like, fuck me, man.
Yeah.
But yeah, you know, it was.
That's the fun part about Jim and Lethbridge is like, there was like, it was just animals in there.
So it was just like, it was a group of guys all the way from like featherweights to heavyweights.
And there was no, like, you, if you were a lightweight, you sparred the heavyweights.
There was no duck in anybody.
Like, it made you like a fucking tough motherfucker in there.
Yeah.
Physically and all that, like, I could take a fucking beating.
And like, but men, I would fuck myself over mentally.
If I could got over the sports psychology of it, I think I could have done something, but I was always like in my head and uh I just couldn't like at the moment I thought I was gonna lose.
If I put that thought in my head, I was done.
And those were the fights, like again, I'd get choked out and like, that's the only part I had a difficult time overcoming.
The mental aspect of it.
That is definitely a thing.
Oh, this thing keeps moving around.
I was talking about that the other day, too.
Like the mental aspect of this is like, if you believe you're going to lose, you are going to lose.
If you believe you can't win, you literally can't.
You already lost.
If you think you can win, you might.
That's the best you're going to get.
You know, you're not ever going to get fucking any guaranteed shit.
You know what I mean?
Life is fucking pretty wild.
And it's like, wow.
So, you know, a lot of these people, a lot of people are struggling with everything that's fucking going on now.
And it's like, if you don't, if you don't think that you can come out of this and, you know, win at whatever it is, whatever your goal is, if it's just to fucking survive, if it's to not go bankrupt, if it's to move out of the fucking country, I don't know what it is.
But if you don't believe that you can do it, you're not fucking going anywhere.
You have to believe that you can't.
You're going to get it done.
And then you'll act accordingly.
Like everything starts and ends basically in your head.
And if that's not under control, you're fucked, man.
If you don't have that mental.
But I wanted to ask, so you went down to Texas.
We were talking about that.
You had a nice fucking good time down there.
How much different is it there or similar is it there?
You know, and comedy-wise, like, I don't know how much, how hard it is.
I mean, I thought about doing that recently too, the last couple of years.
Once this started taking off, I was like, well, now I got a little bit of something to work with.
So I won't be going in with nothing, you know, cold, you know, whatever.
Nobody has any fucking idea who I am.
You know, I could probably get some people to show up or something, right?
But I'm like, how, I mean, Canada is so hostile to like anything.
I was like, I could probably go to like Red Deer, but most of the country is like off limits.
You know, they come at your fucking.
But then again, I don't know how bad it is out there.
My buddy Greg Wycliffe is a comedian in Toronto and he's like, actually, you know, there's pockets of people everywhere that are into this kind of stuff.
But how much different was it down there?
And, you know, what do they think about Canada, actually?
I'm more interested.
They definitely know what's going on up here.
I didn't expect them to know what's happening up here, but a lot of Texans knew that we were under lockdown still.
They knew like going through and they're like, that is fucking pathetic.
You guys are fucking pathetic up there.
And just like, basically, I got called a fag to my face and be like, you're personally responsible somehow.
Yeah.
I'm like, what do you mean, dude?
I'm down here.
I'm not up there.
I'm down here.
Why the like, fuck that place.
I'm here.
I'm here to do comedy.
And they're like, yeah.
But they're like, yeah, it seems like it's a fucking complete shit show.
And I was like, it is.
We're just in Alberta opening up.
And they're like, what?
Like, they couldn't wrap their head around that people just allowing this shit to happen.
Yeah.
I mean, and I've been saying that forever.
Like, it's like Florida's been open for over a year now.
Like, well over a year.
And it's like, if this was, I mean, how are they not all dead, guys?
Obviously, somebody's very wrong here.
There's only two versions of reality.
They can't both be correct.
And I'm pretty sure I know which one it is because there's like 40, 50, 60 million people.
I think I added it up.
Texas, Florida, Georgia, North, South Dakota, Montana, all these places.
Like, yeah, no restrictions.
And it's like, that's double the size of Canada.
Shouldn't it be like a fucking natural disaster by now?
Shouldn't there be, you know?
No, it didn't happen.
It didn't happen.
There's a lot of Texas, quite a few people from Texas that watch this too.
I think they're just Texas and I think this just hasn't come.
That's what the whole of the flag, the whole diagonal meme is.
It's like Alaska down to basically Texas and Florida.
Like that's the stripe.
That diagonal line is where all the sanity resides in North America for some reason.
It goes right down through northern BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Alabama, Texas, or you know, Oklahoma.
And then all, it's like, why is that?
It's like people, if they live too close to water, they go crazy or something.
Maybe the other people.
Yeah.
And the cities in Texas, like isn't Austin and Dallas.
I don't think there might be a little too close to the Gulf of Mexico.
That might be the problem.
You know what, man?
Like the people in Austin were really rat.
Like they were super cool.
Everybody I ran into anyways, but like I don't know.
I fucking fell in love with that place like the first 48 hours I was there.
Like the people were cool.
There's live venues, man.
The food is fucking unreal.
The comedy shows, dude.
I was being so fucking racist, sexist.
I just went for it.
I left nothing on the fucking table.
I just took everything.
I'm going to say what is in my fucking head.
I went and I shat on fucking Americans.
I was like, the one show I just went up and I'm like, listen, I just had to listen to seven comedians fucking make fun of Canada.
I'm going to shit on America for 10 fucking minutes.
This is going to be Columbine for words.
You're done.
And I just went in on it.
And like, they were howling.
They were busting their gut.
There was nothing that I could possibly say that could offend people down there.
Meanwhile, up here, if I said like even a portion of what I said, man, I'd be kicked out of clubs.
I'd be fucking probably charged like Mike Ward for fuck's sakes.
It's yeah, you might get a rush.
I ate it so much.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's this, that's, it's insane.
It's fucking insane.
And that was the, that was, I mean, I had a big fuck.
I was not freaking out, but I'm like, I'm yelling for a reason because I'm trying to get people to fucking pay attention.
Like the government's trying to be like, hey, we think we should control all that you see in here all the time.
What do you think about that?
And everyone's like, oh, cool, whatever.
I'm like, no, not no.
No, no, no, no.
What, man, bro?
Are you fucking kidding me?
These people, these SJW people, they want to control all the things.
Are you fucking out of your mind?
And, you know, people are just like, whatever, bro, the fucking hedge.
The fucking Hedge is under play hospital.
The Hedge is playing the lightning fuck.
You know, like, that doesn't matter right now.
Like, there's, there's seriously scary shit going on, man.
It would be great if you at least acknowledged it or paid attention, you know, but they don't.
Yeah, and it's, you know, that's why I love America.
and that attitude, it's an American attitude.
That's what it, you know, we're grown-ups.
You know, it's just words, you know, big deal.
You know, we're just making jokes or saying whatever.
It's not, we're not out here.
They've turned it into like, you know, if you have the wrong attitude or your toxic masculinity, whatever it is, like you might as well be stabbing people in the neck.
Like it's that dangerous.
They think it's like literally.
And like, obviously, like, I guess with it, when I first started with this content shit, I came out and I was shit, you know, true to doing all that.
And like the political stuff, like, I don't follow it as tightly as like you would.
Like, you could name off a list of people and I'd be like, I don't even know who the fuck that is.
And I'll be honest with you.
And then like, yeah, like, uh, I wish I didn't know who they were.
Oh, man.
Well, we need people like you.
And like, you do it in an entertaining way.
Where like, if I do it, it's it's on it's not authentic like you would.
Like you're, you're well versed in it.
And for me to bitch and whine about it is, it would be pathetic and you'd be able to see right through it, which is why like I kind of got away from it.
You know, I think it works.
Like the societal problems is what I like going after.
Freedom of speech is very important, especially for now.
Like what we've been doing in the past five years revolves around freedom of speech and being able to use like comedic fashion to get your point across.
And there's nothing fucking wrong with it.
Nope.
Oh, it's hate speech.
It's hate.
Online harm was the name of the bill, you know?
And I think I try to, and, you know, you're doing the same thing, like the social issues and stuff.
I mean, you stick to what you know.
I'm not going to get out here and, you know, scream about like, so the free speech thing, like the gun stuff that they're doing, you know what I mean?
Like these kinds of stuff.
Or if it's something that pertains to the military or what's being done with that or the troops or the fucking PTSD, whatever it is, like I know, but this is my fucking backyard.
I can go, I can, things that I really care about and get me really fired up.
Like, I'm really fucking pissed about this.
Or like the fucking shooting there in Nova Scotia.
That was a big video too.
But like, that's literally my home.
Like, it was like right next door to where I grew up.
You know what I mean?
So I was like, and they, oh yeah, I was like, that's right.
Like, my parents could have been on the highway that day easily and this guy could have fucking smoked them.
Like, and I was just like, what in the living fuck is going on over there?
Because I have questions.
You're not answering any of them.
Like as a per as a concern, like, what about this?
And they're like, shut up.
Like, no, that's not, I don't like that.
That's not a good fucking answer.
So that sucks, you know, but I'm not going to get the same kind of, you know, about something that like in France or something.
Like, I mention it and I talk about it, but I'm not going to go on and try and make a big rant to get clicks and views because it's not real.
Like, I don't care that much.
It has to be where I'm like, I'm really fucking pissed.
Like, I'm really upset about this, you know, then it mattered, then it works.
Otherwise, if you're not, if you don't know what you're talking about or if you don't have any kind of connection to it, you can't really fake that.
Like we were saying, like, authenticity is important.
So I think it probably translates in comedy too.
You can't really make jokes about shit you don't know anything about and it has to be kind of true.
And that's, that's why I was talking to Wycliffe about this.
Authoritarians hate comedians.
There's no fucking comedians in the Soviet Union or in communist China or North Korea or Cuba or anything like that.
Because for jokes to be funny, they have to be true.
And if you can't tell the truth, you know, to some extent, there has to be something in there that makes people connect to it.
If it's just nonsense, it's not funny.
You know, it's just a shitty adult swim commercial that is like, why is this its show?
It's terrible.
You ever see some of those?
I'm like, God, what is this?
I'm like, this is terrible, man.
Right.
Oh, man.
There's so much garbage being pumped out.
Like, you watch CTV or CBC or fucking, even just for laughs, man.
And I'm probably going to shoot my foot self in the foot by saying, but my intentions with comedy aren't to get on those fucking watered down, shitty shows talking about peanuts on airplanes.
You know what I mean?
Like, I want to go out and want my own thing.
I mean, obviously he's a master and he's, you know, very good at what he does, but I've never once wanted to be fucking Jerry Seinfeld.
Okay.
You know, no.
The guy's fucking obsessed with money, loves himself, and just does really safe.
What's the everybody's eating so many cookies?
Like, oh, that's great, Jerry.
That's really.
What's the deal with me?
What's the deal?
Like, yeah, that's really going to make you think.
It's funny, but I mean, I don't know.
It's just, I don't, I liked the guys I really looked up to was like Bill Hicks, George Carlin.
Yeah.
You know, like Bill Burr.
The Bill Burr, the Philadelphia takedown incident.
Have you ever heard of this?
You must have.
Oh, that was beautiful.
People don't know about this.
Your stupid fucking statue of Rocky Balboa.
You fucked the Eagles.
Fuck the Flyers.
Fuck you, you fucking...
I hope your fucking mothers get hit by buses, you fucking goddamn fat fucks.
You fuck your stupid city and fuck your...
So what happened was there was a comedy festival or something.
And like the previous, Philadelphia is apparently a notoriously brutal city.
Like they just hate everyone and everything.
Boo, fuck, you asshole.
They hate everybody.
They booed everybody.
And Bill Burr got pissed.
So he's like, whatever.
It's turn to come on.
He goes, you know what, you motherfucker.
And he just cuts the city up for 15 straight minutes.
And he's like, I got, it's like, he's got a 15-minute set.
And he like rips into them.
He's like, 14 more minutes of this, 12 more minutes.
I got six more minutes.
You fuck.
And it's hilarious.
And they just, they're loving it.
And they're like, he leaves to a standing ovation.
It's amazing.
And then Bob Sagett pulled him aside and he goes, I don't think you know what you just did there, but you just.
That's amazing.
You did it.
Yeah.
You just won the World Series of, like, dude, you took the most hostile crowd in the world where everyone was bombing.
And then, like, how did you, are you, you're like a Picasso.
Like, you're, I don't even know anything about arts.
That makes no sense.
You're like the Jimi Hendrix of comedy.
How the fuck did you do that?
That's a mad, like, that's, that's brilliant.
Yeah, man.
And I don't know.
I wonder if he planned that.
Like, if I've ever talked to that guy, I would love to ask him about that.
Like, what was going through your head when you're like, I think he was genuinely just pissed.
And I think, again, because the people who were like the legend off the stage is what happened.
They booed like a fucking comedy legend.
And he was like, the fact that they just disrespected this guy pissed me off so much that I went up there and let them fucking have it.
I think they liked it.
I think it was his authenticity.
And he's like, just straight up, like, doesn't give a fuck.
And they're like, I like this guy.
You know what I mean?
He's just not giving a fuck.
And that's what Philadelphia likes, people that don't give a fuck, apparently.
So, oh, what a great like the planets aligned for that situation.
Yeah, I remember hearing that story.
Bob Sagitt was like blown away, who's been a professional comedian forever, like his whole life.
I saw, I actually saw Pauly Shore once.
You just did it.
He was actually way funnier than you would have thought.
The whistle.
The whistle.
I saw him in New York, and it was like a tiny, like, club of like 100 people, you know, and it was, it was actually really, I was like, that guy was really funny.
And he had the, and the place was just, dude, anybody could have got up there and kept it going.
It was like, no, but everybody was half drunk.
It was like, woo.
And then this chick gets up there.
I want to ask you about this because this is kind of, this is controversial for some people.
And I don't know what it is, but like the amount of female comedians that I think are funny, I can count on one hand and using only two fingers.
You know, like they're just, it doesn't work for me.
I don't find a lot of them, you know, I don't know what it is, but they all talk about the same shit.
They're not that funny.
This woman gets up there and it just killed the whole room.
I couldn't believe it.
It was the opposite of what Bill Bird did.
It was like the place was like, you could have put anything up there and you would have, and nope, brought it right back down to fucking suicide within minutes.
What do you think?
I don't know.
Like, what do you, do you like, do you follow a lot of female comedians?
There's a few I like.
There's a really funny girl that's coming up right now, and she's super funny.
Her name is Heather Shaw, and she looks identical to Jim Carrey, man.
And she's like.
Nope, like still there?
Yeah, yeah, just click there for a second.
You're talking about Heather Shaw.
Looks like Jim Carrey.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
She's super funny.
I got to meet her when I was down in Texas and watch her perform.
And like, her shit was really good.
But like, I think there's like a, there's like a distrust between like good-looking women and them trying to be funny because you're just like, you kind of got life on easy mode.
You're already good looking.
Like ugly dudes are always funnier.
It's just how it goes.
You know what I mean?
Like interesting.
I need to be funny to get laid.
Like it just, it has to happen.
If I'm not funny, I'm fucked.
I'm just jerking off.
That's all I'm doing.
I mean, I'm one of these incels on fucking red.
Like, women are fucking awful.
It's a survival mechanism too with like other dudes because it's like, well, I can't, you know, like, I gotta, I was like that as a kid.
Like, I was tiny, man.
I was a tiny kid.
I was like, when I joined the military, I was like 118 pounds or something.
And I was just, you know, and I was like, well, I make these guys laugh so they look out for me.
Like, this is my survival mechanism.
I can't beat the shit out of anybody.
I can't throw a football.
I can't do shit.
I can't even play.
I couldn't do anything, but I could make these assholes laugh.
So there, I have friends, you know.
It's funny.
It's like, that's my only, that's my only move.
That's all I got at the end of the day.
Because I'm eventually just going to be this frail.
It's a little characteristic to have.
Yeah, I think that's how I'm going to survive in the nursing home if I make it that far.
That's why the nurses, because I'm pretty sure they just euthanize people after a while.
Like, fuck this old man.
That's a dickhead.
They just smother him with a pillow or something.
You know, nobody's going to know.
So it's like, I'll just make them laugh and then they won't murder me.
You know, that's my whole, I'm just going to hopefully, unless I end up in like a liberal hospital where it's like, I'm dead immediately.
I'll go to one of those today and they'll be like, he died of old age.
I'll be like, no, they'll murder me.
Yeah.
Maybe in Texas.
I'll need to go to one of these places in Texas.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
That place was fucking unreal.
I can't wait to go back there.
It was so much fun.
It was so refreshing.
The comedy crowds there are awesome too.
Like I was saying before.
Like I came out.
I opened with like me being completely racist towards an Asian couple.
And like even the Asian couple was being like, they were in on it.
I was also making fun of myself in the bit.
So it was like, I'm also knocking myself down.
I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal and be like, oh, look at the Asians.
I like that.
It made it a lot of fun.
You do this a lot.
And I like that.
I think all the best comedians do this.
It's like a self-deprecating humor type of, I mean, you're not just like Jeremy Hotz level, where you're just nuking yourself for 45 minutes.
But it's like an appreciation that like, look, I'm not, none of us are fucking perfect dudes.
We're all idiots.
We all know if you're honest with yourself and you're a mature adult man, you're like, I'm, I'm pretty retarded.
Like, I'm pretty, I do a lot of dumb shit, you know?
And you can make fun of that and laugh at it and people like it because they're like, yeah, I am too.
We're all idiots.
We're all just people, right?
So the people that take themselves too fucking seriously are like, yeah, you know, it's like, whatever.
Like, I love the, so yeah, a lot of the comedy stuff you do is so, you know, just two guys with short dons looking at each other.
Yeah, because that's the, that's the shit I find funny is like, I don't know, making fun of yourself is kind of like, I think it makes it, you're, you come, you become trustworthy almost because you're like, oh, this guy doesn't ego.
Yeah.
And then like, I don't walk around because anybody's capable of making videos on the internet.
And like, I'm, I'm very aware that there are other people that are doing it way better than I could probably ever do.
And I'm very aware of that.
And I love making fun of the fact that I'm just a shitty version of somebody.
You know, it's hilarious.
You know, I'm like, I'm literally drawing.
I mean, I'm just like, I'm retarded.
Like, I look, I have this guy as my assistant.
You know, he's always on blow.
I mean, I'm retarded.
I'm here drinking.
Like, I don't know what I'm doing.
The other day, me and Philip know each other very well from a couple handicapped bathroom stalls.
I bet.
I bet you do.
Philip, you never, that's what you were doing at Edmonton.
Oh.
Like this might, I was telling a story the other day.
Like, I just got this brand new microphone.
I got a new audio.
Yeah, I put it on Instagram and you were like, good choice, man.
With the fucking interface and all that stuff.
And I was, I was fucking with it for hours and I'm like, it sounds weird.
Like, I'm not a tech.
I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm an idiot.
I don't know anything about microphones.
I didn't even know there was like 16,000 different kinds.
It's like, well, you know what?
A ribbon microphone.
You can get a denser microphone or a dynamic microphone.
It depends on what kind.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
I don't, what?
What is this?
So I'm like winging this whole thing.
And I'm like, fucking talk.
My old one, it didn't matter.
You could come at it from wherever.
It basically sounded the same.
But this one, I was like, it just sounds something's, it doesn't sound good.
It sounds worse.
And I'm going through it with my buddy Greg.
And he's like, well, I don't know.
We tried everything.
And he's like, is it plugged in?
I'm like, yes, it's plugged in, Greg.
I was like, It probably is going to be something really dumb like that.
So, I was like, Well, I guess I'm just going to have to return it.
I don't know.
I started twisting it like this, and then it started all of a sudden to sound better.
And I was like, Oh, you know what?
I just had it backwards for like three hours.
I'm like, What's wrong with this piece of shit?
I'm like, It's backwards, you idiot.
I used to have this most ghetto set up with like an old school mixer and everything like that.
And I could, I would fuck up the cords all the time.
And then I'd have a USB import and all this.
And dude, it was a nightmare.
Then I switched to like that interface, like what you're running.
Yeah.
Oh, God, night and day.
Yeah.
Like, I'm like just savvy enough where I can figure it out kind of.
If only somebody can like run me through the steps, then I'm like, okay, then I'll watch a YouTube video and start fucking with things and seeing what's going on.
But like, man, holy fuck.
It's too much.
It is a lot.
And guys are trying to tell me like, oh, you got to do this and that.
Like, sending me like a, like pages of shit.
I'm like, I don't.
Yeah, I'm like, I don't understand any of this.
I'm an infantry guy.
You know what I mean?
I'm basically a mouth-breathing.
I'm just two bad guys.
Yeah, I'm a mouth-breathing piss tank, you know, that like, it's like when a busload of these guys shows up to a bar, everyone goes, oh, no.
You know, it's like worse than a football, way worse than like a football team or something.
You're just like, oh, these fucking dickheads, especially if they're like in their 20s, you know.
Not much better if they're older.
They just fight each other instead.
But yeah, yeah.
It's like, I'm not a fucking intellectual.
I didn't go to broadcast school.
I don't know how to do any of this shit.
I'm just winging the whole thing.
But I mean, that's kind of the fun part of it.
I never really, I never intended to do any of this.
It just happened.
You know, I was like, I'm just going to make a YouTube video or two and then three.
And I was like, oh, these are fun.
And I started making, they were kind of funny and people liked them.
And then I was like, watching people do live streams.
I'm like, look, I could do that.
You know, I was watching Owen Benjamin do this.
He's like, he's talking to 5,000 people.
And he's just on his laptop in the backyard.
I'm like, this guy's talking to 5,000 people with a laptop.
I was like, fuck, he's not doing anything I couldn't do.
I mean, I think.
I'll try.
I'll give it a shot.
I mean, how hard, you know, it's fucking harder than it looks, but he's good at it.
And I was, you know, and here we go.
And then I started doing this regularly and it became like a scheduled thing.
You know, it just now, you know, this monitors it.
It's a whole fucking thing now.
You know, I didn't intend, I didn't sit down and plan it out.
Like, by this, you know, this is what I need.
I just did shit as it happened.
And it's way more fun that way.
You never know what the fuck's going to happen.
You never know the people you put in.
Yeah.
It's just, dude, I fucking, if you would have told me five years ago before I started this shit, that I would have, you know, been like, this is a humble brag, but I got to fucking perform on the same stage in the same night as Brian Redband and Tony Hingcliffe, two guys that I respect highly.
Yeah, we know Redband's secret.
Yeah, we were on his secret show on the back half as like the Canadians for Canada Day.
And we got to perform on the same stage with guys from the comedy store in LA, Brian Redband, Tony Hingcliffe.
If you would have told me five years ago, if you stick with this, you will be there.
I would have looked at you and be like, what?
Not a fucking chance.
Like, there's no way I would have, I could have imagined myself in Austin, Texas, performing standup.
And like, and on top of it, I started a month before the shutdown.
So it was just like, it tested me to see if I really wanted to do this because there was no mics.
There was limited mics, limited mic space, limited fucking crowd.
And then it was just a dog eat dog for a while there.
And I got a few opportunities that put me in a position where I got to perform in front of a guy that was a 25-year veteran from Hamilton who was in LA at the time and moving to Austin.
And me and him hit it off.
And he goes, well, you want to come down here?
I was like, dude, I've only, I just started this.
And he goes, you want to come down here?
Yeah.
You're coming down here to fail.
It's literally a test to see if you have the nuts to sack up and come down here.
I want to see if you have like after he told me this, but like, I was like, yeah, dude, I'm not going to fucking piss away an opportunity.
I almost pissed this all away by being a fucking shithead and high out of my mind and drunk all the time.
So I'm not going to fucking let these small and big opportunities fucking ever slip through my fingers again.
Like that was like a real, I, yeah, it was like, I came off like a three-day Coke binge and I was laying on my couch, just like fucking sweating, looking at the roof and being like, what the fuck am I doing?
I'm so tired, but I'm so awake.
And I'm like, yeah.
And I'm like fucking, you know, like I'm depressed.
I'm like, oh, God, this is awful.
It's like just life was throwing me hardballs and I was striking out.
And then finally, like something, it was like, dude, you got to get this shit together.
Yeah.
Or else you're going to fuck this up.
Yeah.
You can't, not only Motley Crew can be Motley Crew and, you know, succeed.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
Exactly.
But you got to.
Somebody did it way bigger and better.
Yeah.
And that's, I don't think people appreciate.
I'm like, you have to spend a lot of time and energy and effort to make anything work like this.
You can't just like upload a video once a week that takes you 10 minutes.
And like, no, man, this is a fucking round the clock fucking gig.
You have to be on top of this shit.
Yeah.
And if you disappear for like a couple months, you might as well start all over again.
Like once you're out of the fucking, it's over.
Like you can't stop really.
Because everything is so fast-paced, especially with the internet and social media now that it's like people get bored and fucking move on real fast.
And it's like, you know, it's difficult.
Just to get attention, to get the attention of people, if you're trying to like entertain them or tell them something or whatever.
And like, it's never been harder to do because everybody is trying to do, there's so much shit to look at on these phones and these computers that it's like everybody you get, you should be thankful for because it's like out of the billions of fucking shit things to watch and the literally endless hours of porn there is, they're watching you right now.
So that's, that's pretty interesting.
You know what I mean?
That's exactly.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
So, you know, I appreciate you.
Yeah, it's wild, man.
It's no shit.
It's like, it's crazy.
It's really.
So like, I've learned like not to take this shit for granted ever fuck again because it could go away tomorrow.
Exactly.
I was saying that last time.
Dude, I'm, yeah.
So, like, every day, I don't, I'm not a realistic person, so I don't get off on like wearing a Gucci bag or any of that shit.
Like, this is cool to me.
If I end up in a big house, I end up in a big house, but that's not the fucking end goal.
The end goal is like for me to just continue down this path and hopefully get really good at standup and get the respect of like these like higher ups that have been doing it for a long time.
And you get the nod like that to me, it would mean a lot more than a million dollars in my bank.
A hundred percent.
I know exactly what you mean.
Like, there's people I respect, comedians too, but other people that do this kind of similar stuff.
And it's like, I've talked to talk to some of them that I'm just like, really?
Like, wow, it's crazy to even just be talking to these people.
But that's, I don't really give a shit like how much money I make or don't make.
It really doesn't matter as long as I've got food in the fridge, you know, and I really don't.
I drive a 2006 Ford 500.
You know what I mean?
I really don't give a shit, man.
Like, whatever.
No, I do want to get a pickup.
That's what makes it cooler.
Yeah.
It's like, I don't really give a shit because I would rather have the respect of people.
And, you know, like you said, the nod of, you know, that, that's way more valuable.
It's way more long-lasting than like, oh, you fucking sold a book to Jay.
You want a book tour, big wheel?
That's nice.
It's not worth it if you don't have the.
And your overall mood is probably hurt.
Yeah, like, yeah, because you're living for like the better reasons than just, you know, getting stuff, which is pretty empty.
And it's like drugs in a way, you know?
Like, if you go like, I've done this, where it's like, I've just bought shit for no reason.
Like, not a lot, but like, not, you know how women are, but like when they always do that and they always buy things they don't sometimes guys do it too where I'm like I bought a fucking uh you know I don't know a fucking TV or something and you're like yeah you're like this is great for a few hours and then you're like do I really need to spend that much money it's just a TV isn't it I mean what do you do I don't know oh well it's too grand I'll never see again you know it uh yeah like waking up and having meeting is like so
much more it feels better like I've I've never been like more motivated I've never had more fun with this brand than this past in a pandemic because like that's such the fucked up part is like in a pandemic I've never been like more happy like that I'm glad it's over over here don't get me wrong I was getting quite depressed like waking up coming here but like and just doing the same shit over again but like those those opportunities that came like I lied and I said that uh at this uh
at yuck yucks in calgary the one comic brett forte asked me if i'd like to be on he's like do you have 10 minutes and i said yes which i did not and uh to showcase two comics versus one another i didn't have 10 minutes at all i just said yeah no i'm not gonna i'm not gonna let somebody else take that spot so they put me against sam walker yeah yeah oh no five years five six years i think he's yeah so i had against him and the roast champion yeah dude they set you up to do and
i ended up beating him in the showcase yeah they literally did it was awesome and you won beat him in the showcase yeah and then uh yeah i pulled a rabbit out of my ass there i didn't really i i tried to promote it as best as possible and i just went up there and and uh just tried to i had some bits wrote but i like the crowd work i like getting that people involved that's another thing because you've done this a few times now so i never really i've this is the first time i've ever talked to anybody that's done stand-up well i guess greg has um
but like that's my biggest like i don't know i can't i'm not good with the the pre-written polished fucking product joke do you know what i mean um i do a lot of my best like where i'm having the most fun and i think that's what people enjoy the most like if you're having a good time if you don't think it's funny then nobody else is gonna think it's funny you know what i mean you can't sell a joke like that you don't even think it's funny it's like well obviously you know but i like the just the random off-the-wall shit like sometimes when some of these chats come in and have the most i end up going on these tirades about like hilarious
not like last night we were talking about the states like when you were ripping on them like just some of the shit that like bill clinton like that's the joke just say bill clinton okay like this guy was like he was the president of the united states i was like imagine everybody know this guy we know is a sex crazed degenerate maniac probably doing blow on planes and like fucking 15 year olds and like this guy's just and he was the president of your country okay like so don't be getting uppity about oh like you you bill clinton
for eight years not for a week not by accident on purpose for nearly a decade you know and then his wife was nearly you know hilarious the fucking it's wild that but i don't know like that just came out of a whole it's harder for me to i don't know how to write jokes i guess i don't know how to do and then write it down and keep it for later and still have the same kind of energy towards it so i don't know like do you yeah and you said you like doing the crowd work so is it the same for you or again i'm like still really new and i'm learning a lot and
like having these guys these five-year guys and then a 25-year guy kind of like help help me navigate it i'm like i'm in a very very lucrative spot in like a very uh uh i don't i don't know how to fucking phrase that but i i'm i'm very like i'm put in a position where if i'm just not a fucking idiot i can learn a lot in a very short amount of time and these guys are willing to take all this knowledge and information and just hand it over and be like look man i've done the grind
this here's don't do this do this you're rich with opportunities yeah exactly so it's like i'm learning a lot in a short amount of time of like how to write and then uh you know okay you know like you have something here you got the gift of gap just have some shit lined up and go to the crowd when you want and and have fun with it because the main thing if you're up there not having fun they'll see that and then they help me with like little tips they're like make sure when you're as soon as you grab the mic make sure you take
the stand and put it to the side because it acts almost as like a barrier people tend to think of that as a barrier between you and them make sure that's out of the way yeah and then i was up and i was always out of the light from some reason so they're like always make sure you feel the beam of light on your forehead and so these like little tips just like make your show much better stage yeah, yeah, and they it's like anything, man.
You can't just get up there, it's a whole other arena.
It's like if it's not something you've done a lot, you're not going to be good at it.
Um, like this kind of shit, too.
It's like you can't just sit down and go or do anything.
I don't care what it is, but it's yeah, you have to know how to work the fucking just little things about how to work your own goddamn equipment.
It's the same, uh, you know, these are the same kind of skills I learned in the military with like, it might seem simple.
It's like, oh, it's the infantry.
You just pick up a gun and go.
Like, no, man.
That's like saying, oh, you're a mechanic.
I put gas in a car once.
I know how to run a car.
No, you don't.
There's so many little fucking things you'd never even think of that matter so much.
It wouldn't even occur to you.
And that's why, like, you have a bunch of like civilians going up against like a trained for, it's like, it's just going to be a goddamn bloodbath.
This is like an infant coming in to fight Mike Tyson.
It's like, you guys don't even know what you don't know.
Like, you've no idea what you, like the little things that you're never even going to think of that these guys all have fucking tied down because they've got the experience and the old guys that knew what they were doing.
Yeah.
Never do this.
Always do that.
Always make sure you do this.
And you're just like, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
And like, that's basically training.
So you need, you know, a few years in that environment to get good at it.
Like nobody comes out of battle school like a fucking, I'm a killer machine.
You know, they're like babies.
Like these brand new privates show up and you're just like, let's see what we can do with this fucking guy.
You know, his hacking hats on backwards and, you know, he's, you know, his uniform's fucked.
And it's like, dude, what are you doing?
You know, why is your ammo, you know, wrapped up that way?
It's going to fall out, man.
Is it?
Yes.
Put it over here.
Like, they don't know.
And I didn't either.
So how is it any different with anything else, with comedy or with any, anything you want, anything you want to do, especially if you want to do well?
And I was talking about that the last little while.
Like you have to accept that you don't know what the fuck you're doing and then find people that are good at it, that know what they're doing, and then learn from them.
Like, how do I not suck?
Or at least just observe what they're doing?
I did that in the, because I, again, I was a frail, tiny fucking, I barely survived my infantry training.
I was so small.
And I was like, I really want to be good at this.
So it was like, well, who, who is good?
Who's like, everybody's like, that guy's awesome, you know?
I'm like, I want to be friends with him then.
I want to follow that guy around and see what he does.
And how does he fucking rock his day?
What's his routine like?
And what does he think and feel about things?
And that's just, I mean, that just makes sense.
I don't know how that doesn't apply to everything else in life.
I think it does.
Yeah.
And like the online content helped earn the respect of some of these guys of like what I put out there, especially behind the brand and even what I put out like personally.
It I earned a little bit of respect from these fellas and they were more willing to work with me to know like, okay, this guy's got like a set of balls and he kind of speaks his mind and he's not going to cater into like this, I don't know, woke culture, I guess to say.
So by earning that respect, it also helped me like kind of further myself.
I leapfrogged a lot of stages, I guess to say, is like what the one guy was telling me by already doing the roadwork of, yeah, of not being a bitch and like going and saying the things that I've said in the past.
And it's like building an audience already.
Probably similar to fighting.
It's like some guys, it's like, well, I've got 17 amateur fights or whatever.
And it's like, that guy's only got two.
But you're like, yeah, but he's got something you don't.
You know what I mean?
This guy's a killer.
I can tell he's got some fucking something going on there.
This guy's ready to fucking go.
Like you're just, you know, some people aren't, people aren't cut out for it.
And some people, you know, they have a talent for whatever a thing, which is everybody's got something.
I mean, most people do.
Some people are useless, like Justin Trudeau, but mostly everybody else.
Mostly everybody else.
Yeah, he's got, look at my wonderful socks.
I definitely don't get fucked by men.
Yeah, yes, you do.
Yes, you do, Justin.
You know, so that twink for sure.
Wow, wow.
I can't stand that guy.
You know, but like, yeah, I think that's probably an element to it, too, where you're just like, this guy, you know, he's like, and you were saying before, like, it would be 10 times like if it were me, and I still might do this someday.
I mean, who knows?
Like, imagine I doubt it, that everything kind of winds down and goes back to normal.
That could happen.
I fucking doubt it.
But you never know.
Maybe in the future where it's like, well, if I don't have shit to be really pissed off about all the time, what am I going to do?
You know, it's like, I could do that.
I could do, you know, just tell jokes and just be funny about whatever, man.
Because there's never a shortage of stupid people doing stupid shit.
I mean, every day.
I was just the other day downtown riding by a guy goes on the other guy on a bicycle, pedaling a bike, physically pedaling with a mask on.
I was like, go get him, Hero.
You're fucking brave, bro.
Like, what is wrong with, you know, the savior.
Yeah, there's never going to be a shortage of stupid shit like that, you know.
So that's possible, but I would way rather have, if you could pick, it's like you can be in the league of like, you know, Seinfeld or fucking Kevin Hart or something or Chris Tucker.
He's like, oh, you'll, and you'll have all this money.
And yo, it's like, yeah, but I would rather hang out with the guys that were like Bill Hicks.
And, you know, those, I would rather those guys think that I'm cool and like, yeah, you know, I would rather that be my tribe of people than these fucking Hollywood.
You know what I mean?
I don't, it doesn't appeal to me.
I would much rather.
The Legion of Skangs.
I respect the fucking.
Yeah, that kind of stuff, man.
Yeah.
The Legion of Skangs.
Yeah.
Have you, do you ever listen to their shit?
That's the first time I heard that.
I think I know who you're talking about now, but that's a fucking hilarious.
Big Jay Okerson.
I don't know what it is.
It's big.
Okay.
Big Jay Okerson, Louis J. Gomez, Ari Shafir, like Shane Gillis, those guys.
Nick Bullen is and like Tim Dylan.
Those guys right there.
Yeah.
Like they just have, they have it.
And they like.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is about them.
They're just kind of like they beat their own path.
Like they don't, they're, they're a group of comedians, but they all have their own style, kind of own way of doing things.
Yeah.
They say what they fucking want.
They do what they want.
They don't have to cater to the fucking big networks and do all that fucking.
Who's the mask singer?
Wow.
That's crazy.
Couldn't.
There's no way I could have predicted that was Christina Aguilera.
Wow.
What a crazy show.
Oh.
I support Caitlin Jitter.
Be likely here at 1044.
We're big supporters of the trans community.
It's the most important thing in the world.
So important that if you don't mutilate your own children, cut off their penises early, you're committing genocide.
You're killing the earth.
So, coming up next, we've got some free tickets to the Foo Fighters for caller number 10. But also, remember, you have to be and we got Billie Eilish's next big hit coming up next for you.
Billie Eilish with her new single, My Pussy Tastes Like Pepsi.
How did she think?
How did she make that happen, you think?
Like that, so that's another thing.
It's like the things I say and talk about is too, no, we can't talk about that shit.
But you've got prostitutes everywhere.
Like, Cardi B exists.
Like, that's it.
I don't need to say anything else.
Cardi B exists and is famous and is on like talk shows, daytime TV, talking to little children.
That's fine.
Are you sure?
Like, why, why is Nicki Minaj hanging out with like an eight-year-olds?
They're like, I love Nicki Minaj.
Like, are you, what?
Who are your parents?
What the fuck is going on?
Like, it's so stupid.
Like, mainstream, everything is just.
It's so insincere and fake and garbage.
It's just shit.
Like, who wants that?
Yeah.
Who wants that, the success of fake, yeah, you know?
It's like, oh, you could be really big if you're not.
I missed the anger of the 90s.
Yeah.
Bill Hicks, we need more Bill Hicks.
Yeah.
They're out there, man.
They're just like, they don't get that TV time.
Like, those guys are out there.
Man, one of the funniest fucking podcasts that I listen to is called Come Town.
And it is so fucking funny.
Nick Mullen is like the head dude kind of with it.
And then there's like two other guys on there.
But man, like they are, it's easily some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.
And it's all them just being like gay and racist.
It's so fucking funny.
And like, you'll never, ever, ever hear that shit on anything mainstream.
And it's almost better.
You're fucking like, I like the internet now because you have the freedom of doing whatever you want.
You like, look at you.
You're building a platform off of this.
And even what, fucking knocked off everything at least nine times, but you still keep coming back stronger.
Somebody was like, how is this YouTube channel so small?
Like, this is literally the fourth one.
Fans from D-Live.
I had at the peak there, I was getting 2,500 live viewers for a while, which was crazy.
I was like, that's what Joe Biden had on his fucking White House fucking July 4th Street, or he had like 10,000 or something.
I was like, that's fucking wild.
2,500 people is a lot, man.
That's pretty, when you picture it in your head, like, that's a lot of people, especially if you're doing this kind of thing.
Like, that's, that's not bad.
Those are pretty decent numbers.
And then they, you know, you cut down and cut down and cut down.
He just keeps coming back.
I keep trying to draw people to the website got taken down, had to move that.
And then it's like, well, we'll try fucking Telegram now.
I got a few thousand people in there.
It just, it's, um, but it's almost better.
It's like, I, if it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be real.
Because like, how much of a fucking, are you really doing anything?
Are you really rebelling at all if you're like succeeding super easily?
I, I wouldn't imagine.
You know what I mean?
It's like this whole, this is all bullshit.
I'm like, well, if it is, or if it's, why are you, why are you succeeding so well?
Like, that doesn't make sense.
But yeah, you're doing something better than every fucking retarded dad that hops on TikTok live.
You know, I was on TikTok.
I don't like the government.
Yeah, but one of the people ran it for because I'm like, I can't, that's another great thing.
I've got people helping me do everything.
Like Greg Arcade makes and runs the website, manages that whole thing.
Rocky has the TikTok channel and just takes clips that they think is funny and put it up there.
And it got to like 30, fucking 30, 35,000 people in like two months.
And then just, that's it.
No more.
Not moving ever again.
So it's like, fuck, you know, but it's like, you can like get in and cause damage.
I like, I sneak into platforms and just start swinging away and flipping tables until someone's like, hey, hey, he's back.
Get him out of here.
And then it's like, fuck, you know, well, we'll try again.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Hold on here.
Shout out to I've challenged.
Captain and Detect people are having fun.
Destroy them immediately.
You know, and I've been banned for life from Twitter.
I'm banned from D. Somebody poisoned the water well.
Yeah, Facebook, everything.
I don't know.
It sucks.
But I mean, we're all fighting the same kind of shit against these people.
It's, I don't know.
You know, if it wasn't, if it was easy or if it was really easy, I don't think it wouldn't feel real.
It's like, this is, what are you really doing?
You're just, you know, it's confirmation that you're, people don't like, the people that don't like me are the people that I hate, right?
So it's like, good.
That's exactly who I want to not like me.
That means it's working because if they didn't, they care enough to go this far.
So I'm really, I'm really pissing them off.
Good, you know, and the people that I respect and if they like me, I'm like, I'm doing the right thing then.
That's how you know you're living true to your own fucking, you know, who you are.
If you're like the people you like and respect are on, you know, yeah, we, you know, and the people you hate hate you.
Like, well, that's what's supposed to happen.
I really can't stand people.
Not that I can't stand them, but I know a lot of people like this and it's frustrating that they're like fence sitters.
They won't pick a side.
They won't say something because they're like, well, I don't want to make anybody mad.
And I don't want, I want everybody to like me.
I have a family member that's like, just like changes its opinion depending on whoever's in the room.
And it's like that, you don't, you stand for nothing.
You're literally an empty, nothing, meaningless person.
You're just trying to please everybody all the time.
And it's so weak and it's so like, oh, it's so fake.
I don't know.
I had a guy.
This is fucking, me and the old lady went out for like a couple of drinks there last weekend, I believe.
And we were grabbing like some french fries at like a donair shop.
And some dude like came up and he's like, man, what you're doing is fucking a breath of fresh air.
You know, our work sites are getting to the point, man, where we can't even like work is miserable now because you can't joke because there's some age fucking loser standing around.
And if I call some guy a fag for swinging a hammer a certain way, then I get rode up and I could possibly be suspended from my job.
So just letting you know a lot of dudes listen to your shit while they're working with headphones in just so they can have a fucking laugh.
So don't quit.
Please don't quit.
And that's awesome.
I am the most, me and you are the most unhireable people in Canada right now.
I literally can't have an option.
This is literally the last stop for me after this.
It's old gun in the mouth again.
You know, like Moses like, it looks like it's suicide again for me.
Yeah, but I get, I get a lot of the same thing.
And it's like, that's, I mean, it's needed.
Like, we need people like you to do this because it's like the entire fucking thing is against everybody, especially if you're like a, like out this way, the way people, the attitudes are different.
Like, we just have different values.
They want to live a different way.
Whatever.
Leave them the fuck alone, though.
You know, if you don't like it, then whatever.
Yes.
We're not telling people, you know, you have to live this way and you have to think that and you can't say this.
You can't.
I'm like, just fucking leave me.
I'm not fucking bothering you.
Don't fucking come over here and bother me.
Leave me the hell alone.
Leave us alone.
And they won't let them.
And now it's like everybody's fucking depressed and miserable.
And it's like, I'm just happen to be lucky that I'm in a position where I don't have to.
I mean, what am I going to get fired from?
Bring the blow or you're a dead man.
I'm sorry.
Like, that's my only boss.
This guy's all I got to worry about.
So I'm like, I can say whatever the fuck.
And it's, I'm, I'm cognizant of that because not every, very few people can do that because like, it's my job.
I can't, I got kids to feed, whatever.
So it's like, I have a responsibility in a way to keep doing it.
I can't, like, cause there's a lot of people that are like, I wish I could say this.
I've had cops tell me that people like a ton of people.
And they're like, I can't say it, but I wish I could.
And I appreciate that you guys are doing this because it's good for my mental health to know that I'm not in the fucking fishbowl of lunacy that they want me to think that I'm in.
So it's more than just entertainment.
It's like a fucking, you know, and I, for me too, I'm not so much talking about myself, but there's other people I listen to.
I like your stuff and other people where it's like, if you guys didn't exist and it was just me, I'd be like, oh, I don't know.
Every day it's like, today might be rogue day.
I don't know, man.
It's fucking hard to be the last of the Mohicans, you know?
But knowing that there's, and that's why I like, I like doing this.
I just started doing this last week.
I had Adam Skelly on here and Sean Zimmer on here and Ty Nicholson.
Like these are all just like community, you know, they're doing their activism and whatever.
But it's like, I'm trying to, there's a lot of these fucking people out here that think this and agree with the stuff that we're saying and, you know, our values, and it's not real.
The illusion is not real where it's like, you guys are a tiny minority.
No, we're not actually.
Whereas a lot of us everywhere.
You guys just control everything and the media and they want more control and they want to bowby people.
So, and you know, and I got more guys coming next.
So it's, yeah, I mean, this is if you guys didn't exist, I'd be fucked.
Cause I don't, so it's, uh, it's every bit.
It just helps me just as much as nobody needs their fucking sanity outlet, I guess, whatever that is.
Yeah.
And even if it's just listening to something, if it's helping somebody get through, it's pretty cool watching it grow too, isn't it?
Like, it's, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's rather humbling.
The other day, I'm walking to go get a coffee and some kid fucking on a construction site was like helping back this fucking forklift up.
And once they dropped it and obviously like there was a quick interaction.
He goes, hey, looked, he goes, dude, I'm listening to your shit right now.
And showed me his phone and was like listening to an episode.
I'm like, I just like looked at my at the girl.
Like, what?
What?
The fuck is happening?
Isn't that cool?
It was so cool.
It's so weird.
It's, it's like, I don't know how to wrap my head.
It's so bizarre.
Like people that follow you, you know?
Yeah.
It's so weird to accept that and acknowledge that because for a while I was just like, no, no, no.
Like, I'm just in denial.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, no, I'm just an idiot.
You're in constant state of it.
Yeah.
And then I like a couple of times, like, not a lot.
I mean, I'm not a huge fucking, you know, but every once in a while, I've probably had this happen four times now where somebody's like stopped me at a Tim Hortons or a liquor store.
I was in a liquor store with a chick one time.
So I was like, thanks a lot, dude.
You fucking helped out big time for that, for that, for that evening.
We were looking at something.
And I was like, I don't want to drink that.
This, you know, shit.
And this guy stops and he's got a work vest on, right?
So he's clearly coming home from work getting beers.
And he stops.
He turns and goes, I know that voice.
It's like, uh-oh.
For always when someone goes, wait a minute, I think I know.
I'm getting ready to get beat up every time.
I'm always assuming somebody's going to fucking come after me.
But it's always positive.
And they're always like, hey, you know, and I'm like, that's so bizarre to me.
And to see like other people, I had one guy who I've been following forever.
He's like famous in the military.
And I might be getting him in here next week.
So that's, I'm like, they're like, I'd be actually like, don't fuck this up.
This guy's amazing.
He was like a career special forces guy.
He's the world arm wrestling champion like of all time.
He's a fucking beast, Devin LaRat.
And I was like, and he like started following me on the, on the internet.
And I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
And then he played like, it was a video of him watching me laughing about it.
And I was like, this is surreal.
This is wild.
You know, it's so weird to watch other people watching.
Like, it's very strange.
It's a very strange feeling.
And I think it should be healthy if you don't feel that way.
If you're like, yeah, this rules, like you might be a psychopath.
You might be a narcissist psychopath.
You're enjoying it too much.
Yeah, there's, yeah, you're a bit of a sociopath and like a little bit of every path.
It's not normal.
You can pack up a few mental diseases.
It shouldn't feel normal.
Yeah, it should feel weird as fuck.
But yeah, I appreciate, you know, it's, it's wild.
It's crazy.
And it's like I said, you almost feel like a responsibility.
Because, I mean, it's, we're all just people.
We're all just dudes.
And like, I get fucking depressed.
And I mean, I've got fucking all kinds of brain injuries and head problems.
I'm just like, hell, it happens all the time.
I'm just like, fuck.
You know, you beat yourself up and you're like, this sucks.
I don't want to.
But it keeps you going, honestly, because I don't know what.
If I wasn't doing this, I have no fucking idea.
I was not in good shape when I got out of the military.
I was like, yeah, I'm just going to, I'll figure it out.
And then I basically sat home on the couch and just drank like for a year.
I'm like, I have no fucking idea what to do with my at all.
Like nothing is interesting to me.
And they're like, just do this or just do that.
I'm like, the idea of going to school is like someone being like, hey, have you ever thought about just cutting your eyelids off?
And I'm like, no, I've never considered doing that.
That is never something I'm going to do.
Like, it's physically painful to think of.
Like, I can't go in that environment with these people with the safe space.
You know what I mean?
I know who I am and I know what I can do.
And that's not one of those fucking things.
I can't go to fucking school, man.
I can't, you know, can't sit there in a class all day.
I'm just not that kind of guy.
And so I didn't know what the fuck.
And then this just kind of happened.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah.
Like work at a regular job.
Yeah, like the thought of that just like, oh, God, I couldn't imagine.
I couldn't go back.
And like, do you ever get like, go work a real job, go work a real job, yeah, yeah, it's like, man, I can't, I literally can't.
I, it'll be over, it'd be done with.
I can't fucking, I'd have to tap out, and you know, I mean, like the old lady said before, too, it's like, um, yeah, like, get a fucking, and I think that about myself, it's like, dude, what am I doing?
Like, you know what I mean?
Everybody has those self-doubt moments.
The important thing is that you don't succumb to them.
They pop in there and then you got to go, fuck you, loser.
And then you throw that stupid shit out of your head and carry on.
You know, it comes in there and it's like, you don't even like, dude, you're a clown on the internet.
That's ridiculous.
Like, this is stupid.
Get a fucking real job.
Because I've had offers to go do like military contracting work in Africa and shit.
I'll just go be a mercenary and smash people.
Like, and it's well paying.
It's like 12 grand a month.
So I'm like, you know?
But, you know, it's not, it's like, this is a real job.
I do this.
I get to make people feel better.
They're entertained.
They're happy.
I get paid.
The fucking food's in the fridge.
Like, that is a job.
I do a thing and I get paid.
And that is a job.
What the fuck is a real job?
You know, like, what the fuck is a real job?
Is it like, do you have to wake up pissed off at the world every fucking day?
Do you got to put on work boots and go and listen to some old cunt that's going to sit there and tell you what to do?
Like, what is a real job?
Quite honest.
You know what it is?
If somebody could explain that, it's like, I'll explain it.
I'll explain it right now.
It's like the fucking guy that got out of prison and he's outside the gates, like eating donuts and like, you know, there's old ladies there jerking him off.
And he's like, how's it going, boys?
And they're just pissed off that you got out and they didn't.
Like, I'm having a great time.
My life is pretty good.
Like, I'm doing what I want.
You know, I'm fulfilled and satisfied.
I like, I have a purpose.
I'm doing all the things.
And they're slaving away at some shit office job or whatever that they hate themselves.
Go home, drink.
Their wife sleeps in a different bedroom.
And they're just like, get a real job.
Yeah, thanks, Big Wheel.
I'll be sure to take your advice.
You know, you're clearly doing awesome.
Yeah.
They're just mad.
They're just jealous.
A hundred percent.
That's all it is.
Because for a moment there, it was like really bugging me to like get over the fact of like, whatever the fuck it is you're doing, is it right?
Is it wrong?
I don't know.
And I question myself way too much.
Yeah.
It's like while you're working in like me going on the internet, I was a contract operator.
So like I'm liable at any moment to get fired.
So what I'm doing is like literally setting myself up for failure on both ends.
Cause if this doesn't work and I get fired and I have that shit on the internet, what company is going to want to hire that guy?
You know, there's probably a small company that'd be like, oh, we got the guy that said fuck you do.
It's interesting that, and you said this earlier about like the back being against the wall kind of thing.
It's like an old fate.
Like that's a real thing that I can't remember where it's from.
I know they like Ren represented a little bit in that Batman movie with Bane.
I was born in the dark, molded by it.
You know, I hadn't, I was never offended until I was nearly a man, you know.
And so like for him to escape the cave, he has to jump with no safety harness because he's got no choice.
You know, it's like you either make this jump or you die.
You know, like that's the motivation to succeed.
I can't remember.
It was somebody else.
I don't know if it was David Goggins or whoever it was, basically talking about, don't have a plan B. Like, this is what I'm doing and I must succeed at all costs.
You know what I mean?
That's the attitude you have to have.
Because if you're like, if you leave yourself a safe, and at the time I was like, that's crazy.
Everybody should have a, you know, a backup plan or something.
But when you really think about it, it's like your mind, as soon as it gets hard, you're going to go, well, I'll just go to my backup plan.
You know, like once, as soon as it starts, that's going to be in your head as an option.
And you're going to be tempted to quit and give up and do something else.
So it's like, no, no, no, no.
Throw the fucking safety net away entirely and be like, let's flare this bitch.
We're going and we're not going, you know, this is going to happen one way or another, or I'm a dead man.
It's like necessity is the mother of invention.
And it's like, I've got no choice.
This is what I have to do.
So I'm all in.
100%.
100%.
Yeah.
Like, because there's never been an option of going back.
I thought about it.
And then like, I was humming and hawing when I got laid off.
And this was like, my job kind of, you know, we lost our contract.
So it got, it got handed over to somebody else.
And then this was kind of taking off.
And then like, we were generating income with it and everything.
So then it was like, well, what's the worst that's going to happen?
I can always just go back to fucking work.
It's not like construction or pipelines or any of this is going anywhere.
This is like something very new, unique.
It's fun.
I enjoy doing it.
I'm having a time mine as well.
And then once you marry into the idea, like, yeah, I can fucking do this for a living and you can start like, and then once your head starts spinning of like, oh, I can do standup now and with the brand and then I can do more clothing designs and like you can keep yourself busy.
So I've never burnt the fucking bridge of ever going back to like that shit.
Like I don't ever want to go back to it.
I can easily get up at any time, any fucking day and wake up and do this shit for 12 hours, 14 hours, four hours.
I can put the time in and I don't mind doing it.
I actually enjoy doing it.
It's, it's, and I, I do, I mean, it's a lot of work and I'm always like, fuck, I got so much shit to do, like to get these streams and stuff ready.
You can't just sit down.
Like, I got to read so much shit and then think of, sometimes a lot of the jokes, sometimes I think of them ahead of time.
I'll make like a little note like, that's funny.
I'll say that, or I'll play this music.
I'll do like fake game shows.
Just stupid shit that I think of.
But you have to do the work.
You can't just, that doesn't just happen.
You have to fucking get all this shit together and organize it and set all this fucking shit up and then, you know, get it ready and get yourself in the fucking right headspace and everything.
But I don't hate it at all.
It's not like the army where I'm like, every step with this rucksack on my back makes me want to shoot myself.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is awful.
I'm tired of sleeping in the mud and getting rained on and screamed.
Like, this sucks, man.
And this is the shitty part.
The best part of the infantry job is doing it for real where people try to fucking kill you.
So I'm like, this is maybe not the best career.
I really enjoyed it when I was in there, but I mean, I kind of outgrew it.
And I mean, I don't want to ever have to go back to that.
I fucking will, though, Canada, Ottawa.
I fucking will if I have to.
I just want to get crazy.
Well, you want to get nuts?
Let's get nuts.
But I mean, that's not what I want to do.
I like doing this.
And it's like, you know, if you enjoy what you're doing, you'll never work a day in your life or something like that.
Or do what you love and you'll never, you know, it's fun.
I enjoy doing this.
And I could literally do this all day.
I do do it all day now.
And like, yeah, it's harder when you're not succeeding when you're first starting out.
And it's like, if this, is this going to work?
Do I look retired?
Am I an idiot?
You know, and I can't, what am I going to do?
Like, Google my name and the stuff that comes up is like, oof.
You know what I mean?
It's like, oh, man, no, I'm never going to get, what am I going to do?
Like, I can't, I'm not going to be a politician.
I've said too much shit that's true.
So I can't do that.
You have to lie for a living politician and tell people what they want to hear.
That bridge is long gone.
You know, I can't fucking probably can't do anything in mainstream media ever because, again, same reasons.
Talk too much about too many people that are and anything else.
It's like, who's going to hire?
And what would I even do?
Like, I was thinking that, like, what the fuck am I going to do if I don't do that?
Am I going to work at fucking Staples Business Depot?
I need to do something like this.
So at least there'll always be, you know, comedy and shit like that to do it.
But yeah, I'm just lucky to talk to you.
Distilled in here doing this a couple years ago.
It's a weird life.
But, you know, I can't believe it exists.
It is strange.
And we're living in the best era, which it almost like the climate is perfect for it, for people like you and I. It wouldn't work if it was technology that we're like, it wouldn't work if it was like the 70s where it's like everyone agrees with you.
Like, you know, it's terrible.
He's fucking liberals.
And like, everyone's like, yeah, we know.
But like, you have an enemy to fight.
You know what I mean?
That's what makes it there's something to do.
Otherwise, it's like, I don't know.
What would we talk about?
If you're that kind of, you know what I mean?
You need to have something to, you know, to struggle against or there's nothing to do.
And that's why there's no comedians in authoritarian countries.
They don't like people that tell the truth.
And that's basically the essence of what that is.
And you're saying like racist joke.
Like, I was being racist to these people.
It's a joke.
Like, we're, and, and we're all very aware that we're different races.
You know what I mean?
Like everyone is, I'm pretty sure the Asians are aware they look different and we look different and there's different cultures and different things.
But that's what makes people interesting.
That's what makes them cool.
That's what, I mean, I was talking to a guy, believe it or not, I do know black people, right?
And this guy was, he was talking about a, I don't know if it was a joker or a comedian.
Yeah, I know, right?
Some of the followers are even black insane for as racist as I am.
So they must just not have gotten the memo.
Are you sure?
I know.
Well, I haven't checked, but you know, but they're like, they're like, you know what I hate?
And it's like when people like the, like a black dude will go hang out with a bunch of white people and try to act like them, you know, or a white guy will come hang out with these dudes and then act like he's black.
It's like, dude, what are you doing?
Like, stop, just be you.
That's why we like you and that's why it's interesting.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't want to see this weird, you know, show you're putting on.
You know, it's interesting and fun that everybody's different, has their own way of doing things and their own way of talking and their own way, like whatever.
It's not like making fun of that isn't like, you know, like, ha ha, they did this.
It's funny because it's different.
And then they go, ha ha, yeah, and you're stupid too because of this.
And you're like, yeah, it's all, it's weird.
Life is weird, you know, and they're like, that's genocide.
That's basically genocide.
No, it's not.
Genocide is genocide.
We're just making jokes.
Okay.
It's not violence.
I'm not hurting anybody.
And it's funny.
Everybody laughs at it.
There's good-natured comedy.
It's different when it's like, what's the Richardson, right?
Kramer?
You remember the infamous incident where somebody was heckling him and then he went on this big racist tirade?
Like he was just trying to insult the guy and hurt his feelings.
That's different.
That's being actually racist.
You're just trying to attack somebody and harm them in some way, and you got nothing.
So I'm just going to attack them.
They're physically physical appearance.
It's like the bottom of the barrel.
The one word that I know that's going to fucking bitch off.
Yeah.
And what is that?
That's a low-hanging fruit, fucking weak thing to do anyway, right?
That's not a very, that's, that's not a very talented comedian.
I know.
I'll call him a fucking.
It was sweet, man.
Oh, sorry.
No, what was it?
It must be just like off by a millisecond.
But it was sweet down there, dude.
All the, all the black guys liked me.
I didn't, and like, then afterwards, it's because it's like, just your attitude.
You're Canadian and like your attitude is like, it matches like you don't give a fuck.
They don't give a fuck.
So like wrestling.
I'm a huge wrestling fan.
Oh, dude.
You're like Ryan Dawson is too.
We talk wrestling all the time.
Oh, fuck yeah, man.
What?
What?
Two beers.
What?
Yeah.
Like, I'd end up talking wrestling with all these guys after because I'm wearing like a Heartbreak Kid t-shirt.
Yeah.
Be like a quick little like, eh?
Yeah.
Was that your guy, Sean Michaels?
They'd have a Raws, the one him in Stone Cole.
Yeah.
I liked Triple H and The Rock for some reason.
The rock.
I kind of got old with him.
I like Triple H with the bad guy.
That was my favorite.
Oh, just me, you know.
Part of DX.
The game.
You know, when he was doing that whole thing, he was the game and it was.
Cerebral assassin.
He was just jacked.
He was just, and he was just a monster.
I just, the motorhead angle, the, you know, he comes out with the leather jackets and he's just dummying people with sledgehammers.
I'm like, this guy rules.
Fuck you guys.
He rules.
Yeah.
Like, Triple H is such an asshole.
I'm like, no, he rules.
Triple H is awesome.
You know, there's like the wrestling was great, the Kurt Angle stuff.
But yeah, like it brings people together.
And that's all I've ever cared about.
I mean, so you've got these people that are super obsessed with, you know, race and this kind of thing.
And it's like, if you're, you know, look, that's how you get a good society.
If everybody is, you know.
Well, that doesn't really, if everybody is just not a piece of shit, right?
And you just value people.
And if these guys are right, like, well, our race is better than whatever.
Well, if that's true, then if you just judge people based on, you know, their, their virtues and being a good person, it'll sort itself out anyway, won't it?
Won't all the shitty people be the same people you hate anyway?
Or, you know what I mean?
Wouldn't that work?
I really don't give a shit.
I don't care where.
I think there's all kinds of people that follow this.
And it's like, are you a piece of shit or not?
That's really all I care about.
Like, are we on the same page here with like how fucked everything is?
And like, these people are bad and evil.
Like, you understand that, right?
Are we on the same?
Okay, good.
Roger that.
I really don't care otherwise.
As long as they're not trying to, you know, fuck with me or, you know, lie or you know what I mean?
If they're sincerely, you know, then cool.
Like, I don't, I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me at all.
But, you know, some people are obsessed with this.
I got a couple of messages here.
Dude from Ontario says, thanks for all you do.
And all rocked up.
This is in Texas.
This guy's down in Texas.
It says, America appreciates you both for what you are being real in such fake-ass clown world.
Thanks for being the voices and loudspeakers for our entertainment.
The laughs and sanity are priceless.
I was joking last night.
Like, here's a joke.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Go, Texans.
Go Texans.
If you're George Bush.
I'm more of a baseball guy.
I was like, again, like a joke that just, the Texas, I don't know, it just popped in.
And it's like, maybe I should write these down and then refine them later as jokes.
But when am I ever going to be in Texas?
I don't know.
But it was like the Texas voice.
And I was talking about how I'm so loud and angry.
It was like when a man is really angry, when you really need to be worried is when it's like Texas angry, where you're like doing something fucked up and he's just got like this huge belt buckle and a stetson on and he just got like one hand in his fucking jeans and a big chew in his lip and he's just like uh me and you're gonna have to have a little problem here like that guy's about to kill you like like oh he's in a tire and a rage like i'm just blowing off steam if the guy's like just listen man like he
you're in trouble he's gonna hurt you when he goes quiet and stops moving around that's a bad sign that's like a rattlesnake that's about to attack you god damn rattlesnake when somebody texas rattlesnake when they talk in that like calm voice it's like yeah we have an issue yeah it's like oh this is me and you uh my me and you have to go outside we're gonna have to have a little uh chit-chat me and you know what i'm saying behind behind the pickup behind
the shed oh no he's serious like the guy it's like the guy's all hooting and hollering putting on a big show he's like he's not serious like i'd be way more concerned with the quiet guy who's just like says four words all night like oh no he's gonna kill me oh yeah the loud guys all like that's that's an act yeah he's texas angry now yeah once they get texas angry you're in trouble once they stop talking oh i keep losing to you uh
there we go i always i always got to move the screen around are you going back there anytime soon or was you like yeah so i was curious how you got there it was one of the guys that you met on the road was just like come to come to texas and bomb that was the whole plan they're trying to set you up to see if you would do it yeah i think it kind of uh um the one dude knew about all my stuff online and like that and then uh i met i'm jason
rouse is his name and uh jason then we talked in january i had him on uh the podcast and stuff like that and got to know him me and him got along well and then uh he put i i was also in contact with uh one guy sam walker toured with him and then forte knew him as well so they were kind of all they knew one another and then i kind of started to get to know those fellas and then uh rouse was asked me if if
i'd be interested in coming down there and i'm like yeah like i'm just letting you know like i'm really new to this and like i said before and he's like well either you're in or out so make a decision i was like yeah i'm in i'll do anything to get down there so then um dude went out of his way to kind of get us intertwined with the texas or the austin comedy scene and one guy that went down a little earlier and was crushing all the open mics got to know people
did like the you know i got some guys coming down i got some guys coming down and and like helped kind of open up some doors for us which was phenomenal because we just walked in and we got to do these open mics and and guest spots all across the city and it was phenomenal like uh it it uh it was it was such a unique experience to be this early into the game man like uh it it's it's like insane it's it's it it's it's surreal to
be honest as like a year into doing stand-up and i get opportunities presented to me like that is just like i don't know yeah it's tough to wrap your head around because then like the possibilities now become endless for these next coming years it could go as long as you stick to it and you're like yeah and and really like like put your mind into this and uh try like don't don't just be a dickhead and think that you can walk in there it's funny that it's such a cliche
and get up there that it's such a cliche thing to to say but it's like you people are afraid to try because they might fail you know it's like i don't want to be seen to be clearly trying hard to do something and it doesn't succeed i'm going to look like a idiot so it's almost like i'm just barely like i was doing that for a little while i'm just like oh this is i wasn't really trying because i don't want to i won't want to try and it it's shit i look you know what i mean but eventually at some point you got to be like are you doing this or not you know like if you're going to do
it do it you know spend the money get the fucking you know work done hire people you got to do it do what the whatever you think you need to do do it don't sit there and be like half assing anything because nobody ever succeeded at anything be half assing it like that right so you know no man just do the like whatever i sat down and really it all oh no go ahead sorry oh i sat down and thought it all through and like what's the worst possible thing that could happen okay uh you go down there which i
expected that that was the worst what's the best oh you go down there i'm i didn't notice that what's an old jerk off over here i'm sitting over here doing the jerk off and be like oh this one this one but anyway um like the worst possible thing that can happen is me go bomb on every guest spot that that they're going to present to me the best possible thing is i go down there and i murder for the whole time and
you know anywhere in between is great especially up here even if i bomb for eight shows it shows that i'm serious enough to pack my bags when the government is telling us that, no, you can't go here, you can't do this and put all these hoops to get just down there.
And it kind of showed like, okay, this fucking kid really wants to get down here and try this.
So, and he's willing to spend some cash and take all the risks that are involved, you know, all these fucking who you might get.
Yeah, you got to charge and you might get charged 750 grand.
Yeah.
But I just ignored all that and just looked at Texas and been like, yeah, get the fuck down there and give it.
Give it everything you got.
Go up.
Have your, you know, no, nothing.
No way out.
Only one way out.
And that's four.
Yeah.
And it went, it, it couldn't have went any better.
It could not have went any better.
And it was like fucking, I don't know.
It was really weird.
Like every show, I wouldn't say like I killed the whole fucking room, but I definitely was doing a lot better than I thought I was.
And the guys, the one night at the one theater where we're at, they're like, dude, you had set of the night.
Like you, you fucking killed tonight.
Like that was, you were the best guy up there.
So it was just like, yeah, it was like, and you're hearing this from guys that have been like doing this for quite some time.
Yeah, like I, I respect the fuck out of these guys.
They've like opened their arms and let me into their circle and, you know, giving me pointers, giving me tips.
And in return, it's like we're helping one another and be like, listen, man, with this online shit, I'm not saying I'm the greatest at it, but I've put enough time in that I've got it fucking pretty well figured out and started helping them.
And we kind of just collab forces.
And it's just been fucking since.
Yeah.
That's fucking great, man.
I mean, I'm happy.
It's fun to watch people win too.
Do you know what I mean?
Because I love it, man.
I think it was Derek put me onto you like a year and a half ago or so, maybe.
And it's just been fun to like, well, like, man, he's doing well.
This is good.
I like this.
You know, it's fun.
And it's a difference.
I mean, there's hate people that are jealous of everybody.
Like, who the fuck?
What kind of, who does that?
You know, like, fuck him.
Like, you're just mad at people that are doing like, why?
That doesn't have anything to do with you.
It doesn't affect you at all.
It's not like he's, you know, there's only so much people like, he's stealing my fucking, like, that's just dumb.
You know, people are immature like that.
It's definitely fun to watch.
And your podcast is doing well, I guess.
You've been saying.
Oh, man.
It's crazy.
Like every week, you know, I'm getting more messages and be like, dude, you're casting fucking toe, buddy.
And then like the charts, like seeing it on the charts along the side of like these podcasts that I listen to.
And like it's, it's in the, in the Canada comedy rankings, but getting ranked with these guys that like I fucking look up to and it's like, holy shit, this is fucking crazy.
You know, and like it's growing over time.
People are fucking flip hour and just like think of like the dumbest shit I could possibly think of and blow situations out of the water.
And it's like, it's, it's so much fun now.
It's fun again.
And probably because I'm fucking sober and I can process thoughts.
But like, yeah, that's another big part of it, too.
It's a train to no, go ahead.
I just keep cutting you out.
It's just a delay.
So it's like.
Oh.
No, I was just going to say it's a lot of fun just to like, yeah, fuck, hop on and just be an idiot again and do what I did in the beginning and just like reinvent the whole outlook and like what we're doing and this like this.
I love the idea of like this toxic masculinity and just like being a fucking piece of shit basically in the eyes of like suburban white women.
I think it's so fun.
Dude, it's so it is so fun to be like the red.
It's like, yeah, I don't give a fuck.
It's so freeing, I think is why it's because it's the opposite of what they want.
Yeah, it's, I'm just doing the opposite.
And I remember seeing like, I hate how this shit is.
Everybody's getting weaker and dumber and stupider and everything.
So it's like, I'm going, I'm going to consciously, on purpose, go in the other direction.
I'm going to get a motorcycle.
I'm going to fucking, you know what I mean?
I'm like deliberately like, I'm just going to be that guy now because nobody else fucking wants to and they have to exist.
So whatever.
I guess I'll try.
Because it's, and it's more fun.
Yeah.
You get to be the fucking, you know, you pissing off these people who you don't like anyway.
You know, watching them get all upset is really fun.
They think it's like, we're going to write these articles about you.
I literally laugh my ass off.
I'm like, yes, they're so mad.
It's working.
It's fucking great.
Like, this is a picture of you and Ghelane Maxwell here.
Just probably.
I don't know if you can see my screen, but I'm just scrolling your hand.
It's a great time.
We went to the ballroom together.
Nice.
Okay.
I'm still on like your starting soon.
Yeah, I know.
I don't know why it's doing that, but it's being weird.
But I've just been scrolling your Instagram and stuff while you were talking.
I'm going to play this.
Oh, yeah.
Some of the, some of the photos and shit.
There's so much good shit on there at Uncle Hack69 on Instagram.
It's fucking, it's funny.
It's a good time.
And there's little clips of podcasts and stuff.
Like you're doing all the, all the shit you should do for it to work.
I mean, I, I've like, I'm, it's a lot of work.
People don't understand.
Like to get a clip of something and then you got to cut it up and then you got to put it up and you got to do the subtitles and you got to add these tags and you can't just put it in one place.
You got to put it in five fucking places.
And it's like, this is an afternoon.
You understand?
Like this isn't like two seconds.
Like this is four hours of my day to like to do this kind of shit.
So it's a lot of work to, but that's what you have to do.
Especially if you want to do something like this and have any kind of success.
You got to be in like you got a link tree here with a, you know, fucking like if there's everybody's trying, obviously, right?
You've got the, yeah, you're on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes.
You got all your, your merch and your, your clothes and stuff you're selling.
Patreon exclusive episodes plus titty Tuesday, 18 plus only.
What's going on in there?
I might have to get in on some of those.
We kind of like there's strippers in the city and shit like that.
So we like cross promote with them.
And then like, I don't charge anybody for shout outs.
I just sort of be like, hey, listen, like, give me an example.
Like, don't give me your best content, just like something topless.
And then I'll put your OnlyFans link on it.
And then we'll cross promote.
And like, that's all I asked for in return.
And they were like, yeah, okay.
So like, you know, so we got a good rapport with all the dancers here in the city.
And so they're like, yeah, they're more than happy.
Like, and then I was like, and then we'll shout you across all our platforms and make sure like we'll try and get you some subs that just I need like something else in our, you know, like something I can promote on my end.
Just like a kind of like toxic masculinity like to the men, you know what I mean?
Like they're stripper.
I love it.
It's so funny.
It's so great.
Like it's just this is because it doesn't exist and now it does.
Didn't exist and now it does.
Yeah.
And the girls love it.
Like the, the, the, the, the dancers all love this brand.
Like, well, I shouldn't say all of them.
There's some that are just like, fuck that guy.
But for the most part, like, we're, we're definitely like, we're behind it.
We're like, dude, I'm pro fucking sex work.
Go for it.
I don't care.
It's your body.
Do whatever the fuck you want with it.
I like, I like strip clubs.
I like going to them.
I'm going to fucking go to them regardless.
If I can do something with them, I'm going to do it.
But I mean, you're honest.
That's what's awesome.
Yeah, 100%.
That's why it works.
It has to be real or it won't work.
Yeah, man.
And it's sweet because now you go in there.
It's awesome because like most of the girls now know about like the brand and all this and like and you get like this you're like norm from cheers walking into a strip club there's nothing cooler than that my grandpa died laughing he's like wait a minute so you go to strip clubs and they pay you to show up like yes so guys are paying money to go see you i was like yes that's the most retarded thing i ever yeah on stage as well when you're there i'm like yes and
they want to hang with you they what the going on he's like you figured it out you figured it out you're you won you're my grandson yeah like you're awesome it's like the ceremony scene from star wars he comes and gives you his favorite beer mug he's like you did it congratulations you made it you you win you figured out the secret the code oh mika shrednick thank you very much he says uh you're a complete package i don't know how
i'm a complete well i'm a complete package of something uh we don't mind supporting you uh heck it's a pleasure and privilege to have you in our crazy lives in the clown world cheers from okanagan okanagan i think is ontario deep deep behind enemy lines there have you ever done any any work down there what what's your uh i'm curious about this too because i'm surprised how many followers i have from on well not really from ontario but there's a lot more people there that hate me than don't i'm sure but most of it is western the second biggest pocket is in alberta for sure like so per capita it's this was way more popular in alberta uh bc
i was surprised to see a lot of them in saskatchewan you know you can see all the numbers in the breakdown like the analytics and shit where everybody's coming from and and in the states it's in texas it's in florida it's in it's the fucking diagonal countries it's it's a real thing i don't know why but people in this region these regions for some whatever reason i mean that's just that's your people i guess and that's fine you know if you're if you're a liberal i watched a video you had it was like uh the accents across canada and you're like uh listen if you like going to drum circles and talking about you know like whatever then vancouver is your fucking
go there you'll understand them you'll they'll love you there's like if that's what you want to do fucking go there but like don't tell me i have to do like that's what that's my whole problem with it is like it's become this um there's no there's no room for anybody that doesn't color inside the lines anymore it has to be this way or else and like that's that's up and that's uh authoritarianism and you know this is how bad happens when you when people are just all of a sudden think they can tell everybody what to do uh that never ends well no
no it never does because then motherfuckers like me and you get kind of we go from being to angry and you have you have a set of skills that uh i would probably have to hop under your wing and learn i do not want to do that at all like that's my worst that's literally like these people are like they're right-wing accelerationists they're fucking this and that it's like that that is literally my worst nightmare that is the worst possible outcome that this devolves into like a violent fucking nightmare where
there's like warlords and everybody you know like that's no that is the absolute i've i've been to places like that in the world yeah i i've been i've been to places in the world where it's like that and it is not an enjoyable time that's not any for any way for anyone to live um i can't wait you'll we'll see you'll be wishing you hadn't said that uh when it's like man i haven't eaten in two days what happened to guys that have never been in a fist fight oh she's dead you know she went out for a you know a food run and then she got you know picked
up by the other gang from across town they raped her and killed her but yeah she's gone uh you know no cops you know it's just society implodes you know like that would be awful that would be fucking awful um but yeah i don't know i at least be prepared i suppose i don't like where it's going but hopefully we can i i really think it's starting to lose steam though um you probably have some insight on your like i mean it's not i'm not i'm not like taking over over here but it is still definitely expanding and
the reaction i get from most of the people i get exposed to is positive i'd like 90 of the people that listen to it or like agree you know what i mean they're into it you get some pushback but i mean and it's probably similar your your way so it's like it's hard to because the harder they squeeze and they've made it so yeah what did something with fendren there in the chat was like it's that bad that like uncle hack is contraband entertainment on the fucking job site now i mean like they can't keep doing this and would get you know pushing and eventually it's like you're just driving
people into our arms so you know it's like you're you're sowing the seeds of your own destruction here by by trying to just command everybody around and tell them what they're allowed to look at what they're not allowed to Like, you're just, you're making you're doing my legwood work for me.
Yeah.
You know, it's like all they would have to do is fine, free speech for everybody, away you go.
But that wouldn't work either because then if they said, if they didn't censor us, we would fucking take over.
CBC would be over.
No one would listen to it because everyone's forced to listen to it as it is and no one listens to it.
So, you know, I don't know.
Because like the opposite has happened with our brand in high schools, they started banning our brand in some high schools.
I heard in like smaller towns of Alberta.
And it just made us cooler because, you know, like, it's like when you, you were, when I remember getting into skateboarding and like some of those brands, once they were banned, they became cooler.
And then not that I'm catering to a high school audience.
I think my audience is more like 25 to 35. But those kids look up to, you know, older cousins, older brothers and shit like that.
And if they're into our shit, then more than likely these younger guys are going to look at that and be like, oh, the older guys, it's just natural progression.
It's the Rob Zombie effect.
Do you remember in high school?
Well, I guess you're a little younger, but like when Rob Zombie became a thing, this is how old I am now.
This is how crazy things are.
Rob Zombie was like offensive and like what the, like parents would flip the fuck out if they caught their kids with this shit.
You know?
And it was popular with older people, but I like the cover art.
Like the guy looks insane.
He's like acting like a Satanist fucking psycho and you know, there's music about fucking whatever.
So people like parents were like, no, this is when parents still had some kind of morality.
They weren't sending their kids to watch, you know, twerking videos of Cardi B. I mean, they at least still cared a little bit back in the 90s, but it was, but that just made him cooler.
People were like, what's this?
What's this evil fucking, we're not allowed to listen to guy?
And they're like, oh, I fucking, my buddy Dan had a CD and he's like, I got the fucking Rob Zombie CD.
I was like, cool.
Like, we, and it was like exciting to listen to.
It made it more fun.
It's like, had they just been like, let him do it, it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting because they're making it so fucking you can't do it.
People are always going to want to do shit you tell them you can't do.
It's just human nature.
It's like, don't listen to them.
And they're like, I'm going to, when I was in, you're going to like this story.
When I was in Cyprus, when we were leaving Afghanistan, it's a little island outside of Greece and it's like basically just a party island.
It's a lot of tourists and this kind of shit.
And we're there for three or four days.
The whole point is they know we're going to get drunk and go crazy and blow off steam and probably fight it, break shit.
Like it happens.
So we've been up, we're on like the fifth hotel and they're like, don't get kicked, don't get us kicked out of this hotel.
This is the last hotel on the island that's acceptable that the Canadian forces is allowed to be at that we haven't been banned from because of you fucking animals.
The Western guys had just come through, the Princess Patricia's guys, and they were throwing couches out the window into the pool and floating around and like yelling at the women.
It's like there's families there trying to vacation.
Like, what's going on, ladies?
Like, and they're like naked in the pool, like fucking 26 or a whiskey, like, you know, floating on a couch he threw from his balcony.
Just chaos, right?
One guy's like pissing on the floor in the lobby, completely naked at like two o'clock in the afternoon.
It's pandemonium.
So we fucking get there and they just left and they're like, please don't, please don't make this worse.
And they're like, all right, tropes, here's a zone.
And there's like a map of the city of Cyprus.
It's like, here's the places you're allowed to go.
You're allowed to go in these green areas.
The red zones here are out of limits.
These are all owned by the Russian mafia and it's full of strip clubs and prostitutes.
So everyone immediately fucking went there.
Immediately.
That's where everybody went.
We're like, red zone.
Like we went to these Russian mob bars.
It was fucking wild.
We were in this strip club that these Russian guys had, apparently.
I didn't see any.
There was just the woman there behind the thing and the dancers or whatever.
And then we were racking it.
Like some of the guys were just like, they weren't charging you for anything.
You were just like more drinks.
And it wasn't like a regular place where you paid for it and they left.
They would just bring you more and bring you more.
And I was like, dude, how much are these?
And they're like, I don't know.
And then eventually these Russian dudes come over.
Huge, huge.
And like this guy, and they're in their like late 40s, maybe.
And this one, and he's got a fucking Uzi submachine gun.
Like just strapped to him.
Like in a James Bond movie.
Like he looked like that guy out of a movie.
He's wearing like a super tight like this, like worse than I'm wearing.
Like I'm not full douchebag mode, but you know what I mean?
Like these guys that wear like skin tight fucking black tees and they're just jacked.
It's like it looks like it's cutting off circulation to his arms.
He's got a fucking Uzi strapped to him.
Like just like that.
And we're like, okay.
And he's like, you know, basically you'll pay this.
Like they were worried we were going to take off and not pay the bill.
We're like, oh, we'll pay credit cards.
And it was a lot.
It was, they were charging like 20 bucks a drink or something.
And we had like 15 drinks each.
We were there for a while.
And then, but it was funny.
He was like, you know, asking what we were doing.
And we were like, we're fucking in Afghanistan, bro.
Fucking.
And he like bangs the table angrily.
This guy's name is like Igor, I think.
And he's like, boom.
And we're like, he's like, Afghanistan.
I was in Afghanistan.
I was there.
And he goes on this big fucking tirade about how much he hates these people.
He was there in like 85 with the Russian military and like his whole platoon got fucking wasted.
And he's like, this is great.
It was one of the best times I ever had.
So I spent, you know, we were there with this, this Russian guy who was an old Russian army paratrooper or something.
Or he was a tank guy.
They were the other one.
They were, yeah.
And it was great.
And it was like, don't go there.
So immediately we went there.
You can't tell people not to do shit.
They're just going to do it.
Especially the dudes.
Yeah.
Any, yeah.
Here's that and it's fun.
A boy hears that fear.
Yeah.
Hears that and feels, oh, fuck.
That's some dude shit.
I'm not going to.
I know what happens once something.
That's that shit.
Yeah, that's progression.
That's grown-up stuff.
I'm not ready for that kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go there immediately.
It's never going to be.
Yeah.
I have like this fucking theory in my head that like a dude is a man and a boy mixed together and like the decisions that are made are based upon like, I don't know, whatever you yeah, you present something like that.
Of course, when dudes like me and you hear that, you're like, the no-go zone has strip clubs, prostitution, liquor, drugs, everything that I like in this world.
And you're telling me not to go there.
Are you fucking insane?
If I were you, I would tell me the complete opposite.
don't go there.
There's nothing fun.
It was in retrospect, though.
You learn a lot.
It was like these guys were hardcore gangsters.
Like, they were Russian mafia.
Like, this guy was covered in tattoos.
It was terrifying looking, right?
And they were like, don't go there.
They'll fucking kill you, essentially.
And it was like, they were like, as long as you pay for everything, it was cool.
Like, they didn't care.
They were super cool.
Very reasonable, normal guys that were just like, oh, yeah, fuck.
They spoke English.
They're like, cool, man.
You guys having fun?
We're like, yeah, they're like, cool.
Renan, okay.
Have a docky-doggy, you know, this, and it was whatever.
You like this one?
I bring her over here.
You like her?
I get her for you.
I do this.
You sit here.
I bring the ladies.
Okay.
Yeah, not a problem.
You like, you know, it was fucking, they were awesome guys.
So it's like, oh, you know, that, so there, you learned, like, there, that myth is broke.
Well, they're these people, so they're evil.
Like, well, that's not really true.
It's not how life works.
You know what I mean?
You don't know that.
But, you know, we also easily could have gotten killed.
Basically, it's man world.
This is big boy rules where you conduct yourself a certain way.
And if you don't, there's going to be serious fucking consequences.
Unlike other places where it's like, yes, they'll throw you out and put you in the drunk tank.
You know what I mean?
Where it's like, all right, dummy, you know.
Where you were smart enough to understand that world.
You know, yeah.
Just don't be.
Where any other, like you throw some.
Yeah, just don't be a fucking moron and you can have a good time.
You can be a moron.
Just be a smarter.
Yeah, there's a, there's a line that, you know, the men will know like that's too far.
You know what I mean?
There's, there's having fun and then there's, you know, you've gone too far now.
You've done something stupid.
Yeah, I thought that was a fun, fun story.
It was a fun.
I haven't thought about that in a long time.
That was a wild fucking, we were there for like four or five days.
It was insane.
I spent so much money.
Guys were just getting fucked up on like absinthe and weird drugs.
It was crazy.
It was like, I don't know how anyone didn't get killed.
Didn't wound up dead like nuts.
It was fucking insane.
Oh, but yeah, I like that theory.
That's true.
It's like, yeah, you got a man and a boy mixed together.
And it's like a Barricade Garage is another guy I follow on YouTube.
He's in the States, a super bass black dude.
He's fucking hilarious.
He's trying to get into comedy as well.
He's fucking hilarious.
Dude, check him out.
He's hilarious.
His channel is fucking hilarious.
And I think he's really good.
Anyway, I think he'd be a great, greatest stand-up.
And he was like, a man is, you know, a boy does what he wants to do and a man does what he has to do.
There's a big difference.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's like, there's something I got to do, even though I don't want to do it, but it has to be done.
You know, that's a big people that are like, I'm just going to do what I want all the time.
It's like, well, that's for children.
That's not, you're not, you're not a serious person.
A guy that's like, well, you know, do shit he doesn't want to do, which is like, which is often awful.
The worst shit that you really don't want to do or have to say or something about yourself you don't want to have to face or something.
That's what, that's what man shit is.
You know, like that's how you level up.
And otherwise, you've got this society of infant man babies that just hide from everything, blame everybody else.
Everything is everybody else's problem.
If they didn't succeed, it's somebody else's fault.
They're oppressed.
They're a victim.
They're this, they're that.
They're fucking.
We've got a society of children.
That's where all of our problems are coming from.
There's not too much toxic masculinity.
There's no masculinity.
It's been sucked out of the culture.
And now look what we have.
That's a huge part of the problem.
So that's why I'm consciously like, I'm intentionally, you know, trying to help and do my, I'm doing my part to like bring it back.
I remember one of the first streams I did, I was like, from now on, I'm just going to pretend in my mind that it's like 1984, 85, and I'm just going to act that way all the time.
Like whatever was okay to do then, I'm doing it now.
Fuck you.
Like it was fine of my parents' day.
It's fucking fine now.
Like the world didn't end.
Everybody had a great time.
I mean, the 80s was basically peak civilization.
It's all downhill from there anyway.
Then we moved into jean jackets and, you know, it was like, oh, I think bare naked ladies came out, the band, and it was like, things are getting weird now.
Yeah.
Boy bands started out.
Yeah, that.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the spice girl.
I mean, come on, let's face it.
We've all spent some time alone with the spice girls, I'm sure, but, you know, mentally.
But, you know, like things just got weird in the 90s.
The feminization of the culture has really made a fucking a lot of issues, I think.
But I think you're doing a good job.
There's one of these videos.
I'll probably play it here towards the end or after.
It's, where is it?
Stay toxic, my dudes.
Never tell a woman she looks good.
Tell her she looks terrible.
Keep her self-esteem down and she'll never leave.
It's obviously a joke, but it's funny.
I love this stuff, you know?
And the best part about a lot of these dudes, I think it's misinterpreted.
And I think a lot of these, like these old school, that mentality, like these guys were never like that, though.
They weren't like pieces of shit.
They just, like, it's kind of a bravado, like behind closed in private, because I grew up with guys like this.
They weren't pieces of shit.
They didn't beat their wives and be assholes that cheated on their wives.
And you know what I mean?
They were just, you know, they acted a certain way and it was, it is what it is.
But at the end of the day, they were always going to protect their family.
They were always going to keep going to work and always put food on the table and always look out for their kids and always do the right thing.
You know what I mean?
Like those guys ruled.
And that's why Western civilization was as awesome as it was because those guys fucking ruled and now they're gone.
Now everything sucks.
So it's like, I think I've identified the problem.
I think I might know what's going on here.
Yeah, man.
And like, fuck all my friends that are like super masculine and all this shit, they talk so vulgar.
And the way they speak and how they act is very, but like, dude, when they are dating a chick, that chick is like number one.
Like the things that they'll be like, oh, look, I've fucked babe.
I can't wait to have that snaz on my fucking face tonight.
Like, fuck, you're looking good.
Like, they say like, I'm going to fucking destroy you later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you can see like their chick just kind of like spruce up a little bit and be like, hey, maybe I do look good.
And their confidence is through the roof.
And this guy's just like, that's my bitch.
Yeah.
Like ramped up.
And like, they treat, like, I've never once ever seen him hit them.
Like, sure, they talk vulnerable women and all that, but they, like, they're not out hitting them or fucking, you know, like, look at that ass.
You're putting it on display.
If I walk by Nike and they put the best shoes on the fucking rack in the window, I should be able to look at them.
Yeah.
If you're going to put titties on display, I'm going to look.
I'm sorry.
It's just the way I'm designed.
I'm made that way.
Yeah.
I keep making this joke.
I can't help it.
It keeps coming back to me for some time.
You've probably seen Terminator 1 before, right?
Yeah.
And there's the part where Kyle Reese, the guy, he's in the police station, and they're like grilling him about the time machine and why couldn't you bring back guns and weapons and this kind of stuff?
He goes, he just gets frustrated.
I just love this scene because it seems so real.
He's like, I didn't build the fucking thing.
You know, like, I don't know why it doesn't work.
It's like, why are you looking at this?
It's like, I didn't make this.
I just exist.
I didn't build this fucking place.
I don't make the rules here.
But God, damn it.
You know, I'm just an animal.
You know, well, we're not animals, but you know what I mean.
I mean, we're all fucking.
Yeah, I, you know, I didn't fucking kill a man.
I do think crazy.
Yeah.
I'm not selling meth to kids.
I'm just putting a woman down and forcibly having keeping people.
I'm not, I'm not nicing.
If I'm using my eyes, no, God.
Jesus Christ.
I'm just making a boo.
And they act like, you know, I'm not like oogling.
Yeah.
Right.
There's a different, you know, and they act like a lot of these women too act like they don't fucking do that.
They don't fucking check dudes out and shit, you know.
They're just better at it and they don't get caught.
You know, they pretend like, you know, they would know it never happened.
It's like a myth if they don't do it, you know.
But yeah, like those guys.
There's a lot more to look at on a woman than there is a man.
100%.
Especially these days.
Have you seen a lot of these dudes walking around?
Fuck.
It's like, how many Popeyes chickens do we need?
Do we need this much fast food?
I don't, I think we want too far, guys.
Like, take care of yourselves, for fuck's sakes.
You know, and like those guys, those toxic guys that the, you know, the normies, these, those are, those guys are really rough around the edges.
They're taught those, and I met a ton of them in the infantry, obviously, in the military.
I'm still friends with them.
They're some of the best fucking human beings in the world.
They're just, those guys will fucking die for each other.
You know what I mean?
That's hard to come by.
Those guys are fucking solid.
Those are the people you want.
Like, oh, they drink and they smoke and they swear and he's got tattoos.
Yeah, but if fucking wolves, wolves come to your town to eat the kids, he's going to be there barechested with a broken bottle, half in the bag, like, I fucking hate dogs, you know, ready to fucking go to town.
And you'll be like, that guy, and you'll be like, that guy fucking rules, you know, they just don't.
I think we just have a society where that's not needed anymore for now.
You know, and it's like, they love you till they don't need you anymore.
You know?
Yeah.
And if things get fucking crazy, I mean, look at Europe.
Yeah.
You're seeing it now, too, with like pop culture or not pop culture.
Sorry, like social media and shit like that.
I see more of it where females are like begging for like this masculine energy back.
Like it's, it's, it's neat.
This dude is walking around with his chest out and like fucking, you know, like, I know it's saying like it doesn't need to be like fucking raging idiot or anything like that.
But like you can tell, like when somebody has that type of fucking aura around them, you can be like, that guy, he gets it.
Just, yeah, just a natural confidence.
Like the guy knows who he is in the world.
He understands what's going on.
He's not fucking around, not playing games, you know?
Oh, those guys rule.
And that's who I want to be friends with and talk to.
And, you know, they say you're the sum of the five people you spend your most time with, right?
So, and even if it's online or whatever, and you know, if you spend all your time consuming fucking Japanese cartoons, you know, and video games and Marvel movies and shit, it's like, what's going on in your brain?
Like, what is happening in there?
Like, this is all going in, you know?
I mean, you can see the results, right?
And so I'm like, go outside, go fucking learn to hunt or something.
Go to the gym, learn how to use a gun, like fucking fix a truck.
I don't do, do things, do, do things that are good and confidence building and, you know, positive and stop fucking like, it's like weaponized, right?
Society's been weaponized against to destroy men, essentially, and turn us into these fucking, you know, babies, which are everywhere.
They're all wearing skinny jeans and fucking talking about their feelings.
And not that we don't have feelings, but like.
I'm an ally of the pronoun people.
I'm like, oh, dude, of all the fucking, you know, there's like rape gangs in your city, right?
But this is your problem?
This is what you're like, this is your gonna, you got up today and you're like, I can't wait to virtual signal today.
Oh, man, I'm gonna fucking I'm gonna be so virtuous.
Stacy is gonna be so impressed with me.
No, she's not.
She's gonna fuck the black dude from the football team, though.
She's not going anywhere near you.
No.
You guys need to stop this.
I think she's gonna.
Yeah, because she keeps liking your posts, but that's not your, your, you know.
It's like the friend zone has become worldwide.
It's become a global problem.
It has.
They've friend zoned too many of them.
There's too many.
Yeah, I don't know.
Again, I'm just beating a dead horse here, but I think it's the masculinity thing big problem.
Big time.
I think it's contagious too, though.
I think, and that's why they keep showing these pitiful examples.
Like the TV show, what the fuck is it?
The Big Bang Theory?
Like, how that was a hit show, I have no idea.
I'm just like, these guys drives me nuts.
They're these nerdy, frail, weak, pathetic, loser.
Like, they're scared of everything.
I'm like, this isn't like, is this, like, are kids watching this and going, oh, I guess that's what men are like?
Like, if they're nine years old, you know what I mean?
Because you kind of get cues from how to act socially from the people around you.
And if there isn't any, it's whatever's on TV.
And if that's what's on TV, what's it doing to kids?
And what's it teaching them?
And it's like, John Wayne's not on TV anymore or Clint Eastwood or any or Rambo or any of that shit.
That's all gone.
I don't think that's by accident.
No, no, God, no.
And even like, like, I remember even like hit movies when I was younger was always, or even just like television was always, it was wrestling.
It was always wrestling.
That's what I was into.
It was just like, would you stop dudes just being like, I'm going to whoop your ass Saturday night, SummerSlam.
I'm going to beat you up and down this goddamn fucking Titan truck.
And I was like, dad, that's fucking awesome.
You got fucking stupid.
I'm going to come down there.
I'm going to stub a mud hole in your ass and walk it dry.
And that's the bottom line.
Because stone codes.
And then glass breaks and there's an explosion.
And then this huge dude is like, and you're like, this is amazing.
Like, we loved that shit.
Like the boys, like it was.
We all wanted to be these guys who were like basically superheroes, you know?
But they were real men, though.
They're not on TV.
Literally, I've got superpowers.
I'm like, Steve Austin's a real man who's got his neck broken a hundred times and his back is fucked and destroyed.
And he did it all to entertain people and to bring happiness into their lives and this kind of thing.
So it's like what he, his image of what he is to entertain people and who he is as a person are completely different things.
And he fucking rules.
You know, Triple H rules, Kurt Angle, all these guys.
Awesome.
It was, you know, it was amazing.
And they didn't even get paid that much.
You'd think they did, but not really.
Like, unless you're Hogan or The Rock or something, they made a pile of money, but a lot.
Oh, they had a decent living, but now they're fucking destroyed.
You know, like The Undertaker.
Some of these podcasts I listen to are just fascinating.
Nick Foley talking about the health problems they have and the brain injuries.
Or you could go, your brain can turn to mush and you go crazy and murder your family like Chris Benoit.
Yeah.
They did an autopsy on him.
It's like he suffered so much head trauma that he had the brain of a 90-year-old dementia patient.
That's insane.
Yeah.
One of his moves was the flying headbutt.
Remember, he'd jump off the turnbuckle and headbutt a guy.
He did that every night for like 30 years.
It's like, no wonder his fucking brain's destroyed.
Oh.
That he went fucking crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I had a little dead air there for everybody.
Yeah, there's a reason why we still talk about that shit today, man.
Like, it's just so, and like, I can sit back and like, that was my Monday night raw, Thursday night smack every week.
And then between that was like hockey.
Yeah.
And you're watching grown giant men skate up the ice, brutally attack one another, beat the shit out of one another.
It was a MMA boxing.
And I remember like, my, my old man like would rent the tapes of like UFC one way back in the day.
And we'd watch him when I'd be at his place.
And they were insane.
It was just like an eight-man tournament.
And it's like, whoever can last is basically the winner.
No weight classes.
No rules.
You can soccer.
No, nothing.
It was like, who has the best martial art?
We're going to find out tonight.
And basically a deathmatch.
We're filming this out in Alabama because they have no rules and they don't care about anything.
You will die tonight.
It was, though.
It was so crazy.
It's so crazy.
And again, it's the first match ever in the USC was like that French guy kicked that fucking, was it the sumo wrestler in the face while he was dinner in the fucking front row?
Like, what the fuck is this?
And it's funny.
It's like all that has to happen is that authority, whatever it is, just tell people that it's okay and then it's okay.
Like, you can't say that on the internet.
That's online harm.
It's like, I just watched a guy get kicked in the face.
There's blood everywhere.
You know, people are cheering on like literally like barbaric fucking, like Roman time gladiator.
They're going to come out and just beat the fucking piss out of each other.
There's broken bones everywhere.
You know, it's crazy.
That's fine, but don't say mean words on the internet.
Like that doesn't make sense, you know, but that's, it's a big business, makes a lot of money.
So it's allowed to do that.
So we just have to become billionaires and then they won't want to, you know, well, the ad space will be too valuable to cancel us.
Won't do it.
Absolutely.
What we're going to start doing with like the whole stand-up thing is just book our own venues.
And I'm just going to go with those three dudes.
And you can't stop that from happening.
As long as the venue is willing to rent me the space, I can fucking go in there and I can say and do it.
Like as long as like, you know, I'm not breaking any laws or anything like that, which I'm probably like the shit that we say is definitely considered hate speech, which is pathetic because these people know what they're fucking coming into and like they're jokes.
These people are coming to fucking for a night of comedy.
So that's what we said.
We're fucking, I don't want to deal with like anybody that's going to possibly tell me.
Oh, if.
Oh, we can't have you at the comedy club because this is a.
That's fine.
I'll book the venue up the street and we'll fucking pack the joint.
Yeah, like I'm just basically telling people, you know, like find your friends and like find your own.
Like if they don't want us in their fucking societies and communities and like, you're not a welcomer, that's fine.
I'll fucking make my own.
Yeah.
I'll find my own fucking people and we'll do our own thing.
It's part of it to begin with.
Exactly.
And I'm like, you know, guys, because all these people are like, man, my family hates me or whatever, because it's fucking everything's so polarized now.
Everybody's fighting with everybody, especially over all this virus shit.
And it's like, well, then fucking make new friends, you know, because there's people out there that are definitely, you know, they're like you and they think and they want to be around other people like that.
So go find them.
And your life is going to be so much better, you know, being, you know, part of a group.
And like, yeah, like fucking, oh, you don't want us to, well, we're not booking you here.
You people are degenerate.
Well, then we'll fucking make our own and everybody's going to come there anyway.
We don't need you.
We don't fucking need you.
Period.
It's that easy.
It's not like, you know, no, it's great.
You don't.
Oh, did I lose you?
No, no, I'm still here.
I was just thought you were going to say something.
Oh, no, it just like glitched for a second.
But yeah, no, no, that's exactly it.
It's like, you know, we spent the past four years pounding some painting and creating this thing online that, you know, seems to be not going anywhere anytime soon.
I hope.
Anyways, that's my, but if we can bring live events to people that are actually fun and you want to go and attend instead of, you know, oh, especially like small town Canada.
Small town Canada gets like what?
You fucking get street heart playing at your local festival.
Ooh, that's exciting.
Those fucking guys were done and over with in 80 fucking six.
Nobody's.
I'm from one of those towns.
April Wine just toured there like literally two years ago.
You know, like, wow, 30 years later, you guys are still around.
Okay.
That's it.
Well, we're playing the Picto County Lobster Carnival this summer.
Like, oh, Trooper's coming too.
Like, Trooper?
This is 1978?
Yeah.
You know, yeah.
That's exactly it.
You know, and like, I, and that's my, that's my move going forward is like taking something fun, exciting that small town Canada doesn't get in a fun event.
And, you know, are we going to fucking probably offend some people?
More than likely.
But for the most part, it's smaller minded people that are going to come there to listen to some fucked up jokes and have a good time, drink some beer.
And then we're going to have a band that's really good, close it out.
And I like, it's fucking, I, I hate like the, I know I live in a big city, but I hate the big city mentality and everything that's around it.
But unfortunately, for me to do what I'm doing, a center like this is like crucial to, you know, open mics, all that stuff to like hone my craft.
And if I can take that to smaller venues of small towns or wherever it may be across the country, then fuck.
Yeah, I'm going to do that.
Fuck, that's a great idea.
I mean, I've thought about doing something, you know, similar.
Like with this, I wanted, because I was like, what if I, like, just think outside the box.
Like, do who you don't have to play by the rules of this fucking stupid system.
Like, there's no, there's literally do whatever you can think of.
I was like, what if I just did that?
I want to do this.
Like, well, not so much that, like, the streams that I do, the three-hour maniac ones.
Maybe I'll shorten it a bit.
But I thought it would be cool.
Like, I'll just travel around places where there's like pockets of people that are into it.
And I'll just fucking do it live, like a live, live, you know, with P with an audience, but also do, you know what I mean?
That would be cool.
That'd be fun to do shit like that.
Yeah, man.
Oh, but, but I don't know.
But it's like, and people expect the shit out of it.
Yeah.
Some guy, some guys were like, yeah, you can use my fucking seat.
Like, there's guys, there's a guy with a theater in Winnipeg.
He's like, anytime you want.
I'm like, really?
Winnipeg's behind enemy lines, too.
But there's a bunch of great guys out there, too, that, again, with the telegram boards and stuff, we're networking everybody.
And they're like, people are coming in every day, like, where is this?
And I just put it out there.
I'm like, find your, they're out there.
I promise you.
You don't want to use mine, whatever, but you can.
It's there.
Go find it.
And there's a message pin there.
Every province, there's like five groups in Ontario.
And just be like, hi, I'm from here.
And somebody will be like, I fucking live 10 blocks away from you.
Or I'm 10 minutes away.
Like, do you guys want to get coffee and fucking hang out?
You know what I mean?
Like, if this is what it takes to make friends now, fucking so be it.
But the best part about the last two years is that everybody's really shown their true colors now.
And you can make real fucking connect real people that give a shit about the things you care about.
And that's, that's, you know, that's cool.
Yeah.
That's ended up with the two guys going down to Texas.
It's like those guys were, you know, those were literature understood.
It's like the only two dudes that were willing to fucking make the jump, make the fight or take the risk of going down there and possibly, you know, we'll see what fucking happens.
And then that right there kind of bunched us together.
And it's like, hey, you guys want to keep kind of fucking doing this?
Because I've been trying to like put a team together of that one, like comics and shit.
And it's like, you know, some guys don't like the way I look at this way, that way.
And like, these guys were fucking cool about it.
And they just like, they're just there to be funny.
They're just funny guys.
And if we can do some shit together, like we're planning a roast battle here in Edmonton.
We don't have a date locked in, but it's going to be fucking going down in middle of August, I'm hoping.
And then like these guys, they're fucking all on board.
And like the first one I was on with them was fucking awesome.
It's no holds barred and just like the most gruesome fucking shit you can say to another person to like make them look like an idiot.
And these guys understand that.
And it's so much fucking fun.
You go for the throat every fucking time.
And it was like, it was fucking so much fun.
And they're like, did you like that?
And I'm like, dude, that was so much fun.
I lost in the finals to Walker.
Yeah.
But it was, dude, he, he's, he's, there's a reason he's the roast champ, man.
He's fucking diced me up.
He chopped me up like an Italian making tomatoes.
Yeah.
He better not get comfortable with that fucking title.
I'll tell him that.
Coming after.
We're throwing down here.
You heard it first here at Bigot 1044 Anthem Radio.
Uncle Hack has thrown down the gun.
He's coming for you, Sam Walker, and he's coming, coming real soon.
Anyway, man, I should probably let you go.
It's been a good two hour, well, over two hours.
This is a long one.
This is great.
This is an awesome fucking time.
Yeah, I always have fun chatting with you, man.
It's fucking pleasure to be on your show, and thanks for having me off.
Absolutely.
If you have anything you want to plug at all, or I have had your website and stuff up here, and I'm going to sell you some shit.
Anything you got coming up?
You mentioned the little tours and stuff you're doing.
Yeah, it's not locked, but I'm going to leak it here first.
Well, it's pretty much locked in, but August 21st, we will be in Fort McMurray doing a comedy show up there.
So that's the first one that's really locked in.
I'll leak it here on.
Dope.
But yeah, that's the first one we're doing.
And then we got a couple other dates for lining up that we'll be releasing.
If you follow me on Instagram or Danger Cats on Instagram, Facebook, all that shit, we'll be promoting it on there.
Other than that, my podcast comes out in a fucking half an hour.
If you're bored.
There you go.
We need more.
They want more.
Premiere will be live on YouTube.
They want more.
Give us more.
Other than that, man, that's other than that, that's pretty much it.
Just, yeah, we're going to keep fucking doing what we do.
Let me know if you come out this way or come close.
Maybe I'll go out there.
I don't know.
I'd love to see that.
That'd be fun.
I'd like to go check you guys out.
Yeah, Dev, come over for the roast battle.
That'll fun.
I'll text you afterwards and let you.
I'll just do the Jay Barrowschell from the Goon movie.
I've seen that before.
69!
It's hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Douchebag.
That was a good movie.
The first goon movie.
They were both okay.
First one was pretty fucking good.
Yeah, the first one Trump's the second one.
The first one was great.
Lee Treiber was amazing.
I played a clip on this show once, and I was like, this is the only known example of a Canadian with it using a Canadian.
He's not even Canadian, but a guy using a Canadian accent in a scary way.
The only known example of all time where someone heard a Canadian accent and went, I better leave the room.
Where he was in the bar with John William Scott's character, and he's in the bar and he's like smoking there and he's all creepy looking.
And he's like, if it comes down to it, I'll lay you the fuck out.
You know, you're like, woo, man, he's mad, you know?
He did a good job.
He basically reminded me of like, fuck, he reminded me of an NHL player, like an actual guy.
Like, kind of like, who was the fucking Red Wings guy that overdosed there or had a heart attack?
Oh, fuck, name escapes me.
Bob Probert.
Probert.
He reminded me of Bob Probert of it, you know?
That guy right there.
A fucking Bob Probert tattoo.
Isn't this amazing?
This stream was meant to happen, clearly.
That's fucking hilarious.
Guys, a Bob Probert tattoo.
Amazing.
All right, man.
Well, thanks.
I'll let you go.
I should probably go do something today or else I'll get in trouble.
You know, your video there about, you know, never tell her when you're going to be home or when you're going to be done because then it leaves you open to chores that you can't do and you're going to get in trouble.
Dude knowledge, you know, never absolutely.
Yeah.
Uncle at UncleHack69 on Instagram.
Dangercatshop.com for all the sweet looking shirts, like MILF, sweets and sweaters, the danger cats, some of the old 80s graphics there.
And what was it?
And dangercats.tv, I believe, and on Instagram and everywhere else, the link tree, all that stuff is there.
Thanks, man.
I appreciate it.
And we have to do this again soon.
This is funny.
Anytime.
Watcher, man.
Thanks a lot.
I'm just going to, I'll talk to you after.
I'll probably give you a call or something here if you want to bit.
I'm just going to end this off here.
Get my life to fucking get my life together.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
That's the bottom line.
The old lady said so.
Yeah, I'll give you a shout later tonight.
I got up on another call.
Perfect.
Yeah, we'll chat later.
Roger that, man.
Good luck with the podcast.
Thank you.
Take care.
You too, man.
Great time.
Great guy.
I enjoy that a lot.
And get the hell out of here.
If you don't like it, then I don't care.
You can leave.
But if you did, go to link tree, linktr.e slash unclehack69.
He's got all of his stuff is up there.
Always enjoy talking to that guy.
And I do believe that.
I think the problem is a lack of masculinity.
Not a toxic amount where you're just a massive fucking douchebag, but it's been sucked out of society to a large degree.
And it's a part of our experience as people that we need.
You can't just have none of it.
There needs to be a balance.
And they've gone way too far the other way.
And I think that's caused a big problem.
I think it's caused a lot of problems.
I wanted to play something here.
I made a lost a link.
Edit later here.
Is this the one?
Oh, that's the giveaway.
It's too late to get the giveaway now, but he does funny stuff like this.
If you did, if you wanted to try getting your hands on a device like this, go ahead and follow his stuff here.
I'm going to play this out and then we'll get out of here.
Thanks, guys, for being here.
Thanks for enjoying the House of Rest podcast on Spotify, Apple Pod being blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
YouTube and where all the other places that I haven't been banned from lately, but they'll be there, ragingdissonant.com and all the regular places, Gab.
Try Gab.
Gab's not bad.
I probably won't get banned from that one.
I'd have to do something really crazy to get banned from Gab.
Telegram, TikTok, Instagram, and all the rest of it.
Days Without Mass Death.
I think we're on number 11. Has it been 11 days now?
We'll see and find out.
Thanks, guys.
Cheers.
See you next time tomorrow for Friday night.
Fuck you make me Ragecats 154.
These take years off.
I feel 154 years old now.
How much more of this I can do, but I'll see.
