	Today's guest is a fiery little Sunbeam.
	She's a political pundit.
	She's a host from Fox Nation.
	She is a polarizing figure and she is a voice of conservative politics.
	Miss Tommy Lahren.
	Shine that light on me.
	I'll sit and tell you my story.
	Shine that light on me.
	I'll sit and tell you my story.
	You did a nice holiday?
	I did.
	You did?
	Back in South Dakota.
	Did you really?
	Oh, nice.
	Whole family's still there.
	How many people, when you go to the whole, when you say the whole family?
	My whole family still lives there.
	I only see my mom and dad.
	I don't see the whole family.
	Do you have siblings?
	No.
	Really?
	You're an only child?
	Are we recording now or is this off?
	Huh?
	Are we recording?
	Is this part of it?
	It's fine, yeah.
	Okay.
	You're an only child?
	I am.
	No way.
	I don't think I get along with others.
	My mom always said that I would kill another child if there was another child.
	I mean, if you had a sibling that was a staunch leftist, I think you guys would have a tough time at dinner.
	I don't think they'd survive.
	Oh, really?
	No.
	You put them down, huh?
	Yeah.
	Early.
	In the womb, probably.
	Real quick.
	How hard is it for you to live in Los Angeles?
	Because you're really like, you were a voice.
	You were a right-wing voice.
	You're like the frozen, one of the frozen characters, but of like on the on the far right, you know?
	Or not far right, but on the right.
	Yeah, people say far right, though, and then it's like, oh, it's alt-right.
	It's this.
	It's deplorable.
	It's all this.
	Yeah, no, like I'm a voice.
	I'm more conservative.
	I'm on the conservative side.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, I don't cross a 405.
	Yeah.
	I stay in the South Bay.
	Still not great, you know.
	Does it get risky?
	Like, yeah, do people treat you?
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm pretty identifiable.
	Yeah.
	You and I have that in common with the hair.
	Right.
	So I'm pretty identifiable.
	But yeah, no, I get pushed.
	I get tripped.
	I get kicked.
	I get heckled.
	But only when people are in big groups.
	So they would never say something to me one-on-one.
	People follow me around grocery stores.
	I'm sure.
	Like, why are you following me?
	Can I help you?
	I'm at the grocery store.
	I'm not a rare animal or rare species.
	I'm a conservative in California.
	Here I am.
	But they follow, like weird men will follow me around.
	It's like I can see them.
	Those are perverts, bro.
	That's what those are.
	Oh, then they'll look at their phone and be like point blank.
	That's her.
	That's her.
	Yeah, that's me.
	What do you want to do?
	Yeah, that's all the time.
	Look at.
	Yeah.
	Yep, that's me.
	Do you feel like you bring some of it, like you ask for it?
	Like, I feel like you like the fight.
	Yeah, people have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
	And conservatism bothers people.
	And so it's like, I'm not going to, the reason that Donald Trump won is because he was the first Republican.
	He's not like Romney or McCain who apologized for everything.
	He said, this is who I am.
	Romney's a fucking puppet, dude.
	Romney seemed like a guy that sells socks to rich people.
	Well, you know what I'm saying?
	He just seemed like a tall guy who has a lot of socks, dude.
	Good looking.
	Probably my first political crush was Mitt Romney until things took a turn.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Also, Paul Ryan.
	Do you know who that is?
	Is that the guy from Kentucky?
	No.
	Wisconsin.
	Senator Paul Ryan.
	Can you bring up a picture of him, please, Nick?
	Congressman Paul Ryan.
	He was a speaker of the house.
	I think, too, did you have curly hair, kind of?
	No.
	Let me see if it's.
	I need to find it.
	I know Paul well.
	I'm from Wisconsin.
	So you know him well?
	Yeah.
	Attractive fellow, right?
	Oh, that guy?
	Yeah.
	Wow, you think he's handsome?
	Well, I mean, you're not pulling up the best photos.
	Go to the gym photo.
	Old school.
	There we go.
	See, other people have looked.
	Well, I mean, some of these are fake, but go to the good ones.
	Go to the Time Magazine one.
	See?
	And is he the guy with the really old wife that everybody always jokes about?
	No.
	Who's that?
	The guy who's married to a woman that's like 20 years older?
	20 years older?
	Oh, I don't know who that is.
	It might be somebody else.
	We'll have to do a game where we put all the politicians for you.
	You know, Governor Newsom, you didn't know who that was.
	No.
	Yeah.
	So we need to just, we'll do a game.
	Yeah.
	Like a family tree.
	Yeah.
	We'll put them together for you so you know who's running the country.
	And on the top, you know, big old Don.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	Oh, Don's easy, the redhead, man.
	No.
	Is he naturally red-haired, do you think?
	Donald Trump?
	Yeah.
	His hair's not red.
	It's got an orange tint.
	Well, not red, but I say red-headed.
	I would say blonde more.
	I would say he's a blonde.
	Would you say he's a blonde?
	Yeah, I would say maybe he is a blonde.
	Yeah, I think he's a blonde.
	He's got, you know, it gets a little orange in there, but I don't think it's a red hair.
	Oh, I've had a similar cut.
	I've had that cut before.
	That would be a good choice.
	I've had some of his cuts.
	Have you ever met Donald Trump?
	Yeah.
	Was it pretty cool?
	How do you feel about it?
	He's called me before, and those were good conversations.
	Were you nervous about it?
	No.
	No, not really.
	I mean, it's something different about President Trump being President Trump.
	You don't feel like you're talking to a politician.
	He'll sit there and just talk to you, just shoot the shit, pretty much.
	Yeah.
	You're like, oh, I'm in the Oval Office.
	Pretty cool.
	You know, I'm getting a lot of things done.
	Great things for the country.
	Stay tuned.
	A lot of good stuff coming.
	That's just how he is.
	What you see is what you get.
	People have to appreciate that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, look, I mean, I think there's probably some great business stuff that he's doing.
	You know, I mean, I think there's definitely a role call just that, you know, America doesn't need to spend some time taking care of itself and not trying to take care of or be involved in everything.
	Cause I think at a certain point, there's just not enough resources to take care of the whole world.
	And I could be wrong, but I just don't feel like there is because it starts to seem like people are having a tougher time.
	What was I going to ask you about?
	Oh, dude.
	So there was a guy, a couple years ago, did some guy try to set me up with you years ago?
	Do you ever remember this or no?
	No.
	Who would that be?
	Was it like in the DM or something that I didn't see?
	This was like five years ago.
	I used to go on OP and Jim Norton.
	They had a show.
	It was like an older guy.
	He kind of looked like, remember that game, Guess Who?
	Remember the game?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Where you guessed the person.
	Can you look that up, Nick?
	Yeah.
	He looked like an old guy on there, kind of.
	Can you look up old guy that was on Guess Who?
	Board Game.
	And he knows me?
	Yeah, he said I know her.
	And I don't know if he said, I'm going to try to set you guys up or if I said something, but he.
	Well, how long ago was it?
	Yeah, click on a couple people.
	We got to source this person here.
	Yeah, it's not David.
	It's not Franz either.
	Did he have glasses?
	We're playing the game.
	It was a mix kind of between Tom.
	Tom in the bottom then?
	Yeah, Tom in the bottom.
	Was he in politics or what was his deal?
	I mean, there's a lot of people that kind of look like that.
	Okay, sorry.
	And a mix between Tom and oh my God, Peter looks like a little bit of a transvestite if you look at Peter.
	Bottom left, kind of?
	Yeah.
	That was a bot job.
	He looked like Tom and Paul from Guess Who?
	Okay.
	Well, I'm not.
	Yeah, sorry, that's not helpful.
	That's not helpful at all.
	That one looks like Bernie Sanders next to Peter.
	Which one?
	That one looks like Paul, and then Paul looks like Bernie Sanders, and then Peter looks like Bernie Sanders after the transition.
	It does look like, yeah.
	It looked like a mix between.
	After Bernie Sanders is on the Real Housewives at Orange County, then you get Peter.
	Natural jump.
	Do you think Bernie will get the nomination?
	No.
	Really?
	No.
	No, it's going to be good old corn pop Joe Biden.
	No way.
	I think Bernie's going to get it.
	And I think solely because of his...
	Is there a vote?
	There's a vote for it, right?
	we vote in primaries.
	So in the primaries, Yes, but he doesn't have a chance.
	It's going to be Elizabeth Warren, better known as Pocahontas, and Joe Biden.
	That's who it's going to come down to, and then it'll be Joe Biden.
	No way.
	I think it, but here's, I'm going to tell you why I think this.
	Because did you see Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan?
	Yes.
	It's cool, huh?
	Yeah.
	No, people like Bernie Sanders, but the Democrats are never going to let him get in.
	They're not, just like they didn't with Hillary.
	Well, I mean, that was messed up how last year or last time they fucking just screwed the guy.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's Hillary.
	She's got a pattern of that.
	But how do you just, how is there no policing?
	Like, listen, he won and he got screwed.
	He didn't win, but he got out of that pretty unscathed.
	He is still alive.
	You don't cross a Clinton normally and come out of it without an accidental suicide.
	Wow.
	So Bernie is still up there shaking his finger, ready to go, but he's not going to get the nomination.
	It's going to be sleepy, creepy, quid pro Joe Biden.
	Joe gives some good.
	I love it how it's just getting more and more senior citizen.
	I hope we end up with like an 80 or 90 year old in there, you know?
	I just want to see somebody just eating soup, basically, on the stream cam 24 hours a day.
	What about, you know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is?
	They call her, yeah.
	So she's, I think we need to be doing a welfare check.
	I'm not convinced that she's, you know, like Kim Jong-un or Kim Jong-il.
	You know, he wasn't around for the last couple years of that.
	No one saw him.
	Fidel Castro, same thing.
	Oh, that's true, huh?
	I'm thinking someone is out there.
	Somebody took Ginsburg.
	No, I just think that she's doing poorly and they're making it seem like she's okay.
	Oh, they're propping her up.
	Because listen, if they lose her off the Supreme Court, Trump gets another nominee.
	And then we go through all that again.
	Wow.
	So they need her to stay alive.
	They need her to be good.
	Oh, that's all right there.
	Oh, she's not going to be alive long.
	Well, we hope she's a great, you know, I'm not a Democrat, but her face that she's like, her face is starting to spoil.
	And I don't mean that in a bad way.
	She's a beautiful lady.
	I know she's, I think she was the first lady on, what, the quarter?
	Personally, you were going to say court.
	Like, we're getting closer.
	But no.
	A lot of these are.
	She is.
	She's done a lot.
	I'm not a fan, but she's done a lot.
	I just don't think that she is as well as they make her seem like she is because they need her to stay alive.
	I see.
	They don't want to get another nominee.
	They know Trump's going to win again.
	They're like, another one?
	It'd be three.
	They're all getting up there in age.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	What about, did you go to prom in high school?
	Yeah.
	You did?
	Yeah.
	Was it fun or not?
	You know.
	Where'd y'all go eat before?
	Shit.
	When you're in Rapid City, South Dakota, there's only a couple options.
	Yeah, I want to know what they were.
	Well, I didn't go there, but where I live, even now, I don't even remember, but even now to this day, if I go home, it's like, if you go to a Red Lobster or Olive Garden, that's up there.
	Oh, yeah, it's nice.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's nice.
	We went to Pizza growing up.
	It was real nice.
	Yeah.
	But Red Lobster and Olive Garden still is fine dining in where I'm from.
	Yeah.
	That's still there.
	But, you know, in high school, I had a boyfriend.
	Boy, I was with him for six, seven years almost.
	Was he a bad guy?
	He was horrible.
	Really?
	Horrible.
	Yeah, no, it wasn't a good situation.
	Did he do?
	What were some of his things?
	Well, like going into college, right?
	So he played baseball.
	I knew he played baseball.
	Yeah, he played baseball.
	And we grew up.
	Did you know that she dated a guy that played baseball?
	Easy.
	Checkmate.
	That's an easy one.
	I could have told you he played baseball.
	Yeah, well, he played baseball.
	And we were in a D1 school.
	We went to Las Vegas, right?
	So we both went to Las Vegas.
	Was you guys went to Las Vegas together?
	Yes.
	Okay, were you planning on getting married, do you think?
	Oh, I dodged a bullet.
	You did?
	Fairly certain he's bald now.
	I think he's got a couple of kids wandering around.
	But, no, it was bad.
	We go to college.
	He's like, listen, we can stay together, but I'm probably going to cheat on you because I'm, quote, king shit around here.
	So just so you know, I'm like, yeah, no, that's not going to work for me.
	And then afterwards, like, crying.
	Wow.
	I can't do this alone.
	I can't.
	Has he ever saved the day?
	Oh, he was really crying?
	Oh, yeah, no, multiple times.
	I think he called me like a year ago.
	He's like, boy, I really missed out, didn't I?
	Yeah, you sure did.
	Did he really call you?
	He's like, yeah, you know, you could have been like my sugar mama.
	Well, he's like, well, you know, we could talk and stuff and see where it goes.
	Probably not.
	Wow.
	That was it.
	No.
	Never look back.
	Six years, that's a long time.
	It's a very long time.
	Whenever, you said you were an only child, whenever you were growing up, you were an only child or all the people.
	I'm still an only child.
	Damn.
	That's crazy.
	Do you ever, do you ever, did you try to get your parents to have another kid?
	Absolutely not.
	Who would want that?
	Who, I just went home for Christmas last week.
	It's like, who would want somebody else to have to deal with?
	Yeah.
	And someone else to have to, I want this for dinner.
	I want that for dinner.
	I want to use the bathroom at this.
	No, get out of here.
	No, it's just me, the one and only.
	Do you think that's affected the way that you see things like growing up?
	Like even like your political views or just like the way that you see the world?
	Yeah, you like to be independent if you're an only child, you don't depend on anyone else for entertainment, for for anything.
	Really, it's just you.
	You got to make it happen or you don't.
	Yeah, so that's that's what I've always done.
	Yeah, not to worry about anybody else.
	Just do your thing, just do your job, do your job.
	We could use some more of that in California here, people.
	Yeah, oh, this is definitely if you, if you look, anybody who's listening out there, if you do not have a job, not interested in having one, come here.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You'll, you'll be okay.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	I used to tell, like, I used to say, if you're an attractive girl and you didn't really want to get married and you just wanted to have like a sugar daddy or something, come here.
	Like, there's definitely, there's a lot of easy ways out, you know.
	There's a lot of easy ways out everybody.
	Because it's warm here, so it's easy to be homeless here.
	Yeah.
	Oh, dude, I remember when I was in one time we picked up, I had to do like a Loyola Idol.
	They have a school here at Loyola Marymount.
	Yeah.
	So we had to do Loyola Idol, and it was just me and a friend were judging it, or we were MCing it.
	They're like, hey, can you bring some judges?
	So we stopped at a park and picked up a couple guys, a couple freelance guys.
	You did not.
	Oh, 100%, dude.
	This guy named Rich and this other guy named, I want to say Tony.
	Tony died.
	Not on our watch.
	But anyway, so we drive over to we drive over to the school and we tell the kids, we're like, hey, we just want to let you guys know we got two judges.
	We just picked them up in the park.
	The curtains open.
	It is two just completely homeless guys.
	These are original homeless, not more like freeloaders.
	Like now it's gotten a little more freeloady out here.
	This used to be like old school homeless, Buns and Burner cooking up something, you know.
	You know, one of the other homeless people is doing dessert.
	You know what I'm saying?
	A little bit more streamlined, you know, just game playing homeless, you know.
	And they judged the whole thing.
	And at one point, we had to count the votes.
	And one of them borrowed a guitar from another student and played a song.
	Pretty beautiful.
	Did he get his start?
	Was he that guy that got the radio gig?
	You know, that golden voice guy?
	Yeah, that guy.
	I don't think so.
	You didn't help him out.
	You just dumped him back off at the park?
	Yeah.
	No, afterwards, yeah.
	We gave him each, I think, maybe $40 or $50.
	I'll say $50 to make us sound better.
	I think we gave them each $40 and then we dropped them off back at the park.
	Tony and Rich, and I still see Rich every now and then.
	I'll see him driving by or getting a blood transfusion.
	He had something, I think one of his kidneys went out.
	But anyway.
	Yeah, I can't believe you don't remember where you went for prom.
	Was it fun?
	No.
	It was the guy.
	Horrible.
	Oh, yeah.
	Awful.
	No.
	Did you go to prom?
	Yeah, I went.
	They had a girl.
	Oh, I remember.
	After prom, I was hoping to maybe, you know, touch a little tit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's nature, bro.
	And I didn't choose that.
	That's inside of me, you know?
	And so God just lit that tit, touching torch that's deep inside of me.
	And that's how I've always been.
	And I got stuck.
	Some kid, the girl I was seeing went to this party afterwards, and I got stuck riding over there with somebody else, this guy, right?
	This dude who, speaking of going bald, this guy kind of went bald in high school, right?
	Which is brave as fuck, I think, to do because people are really going to rip you, you know?
	Like totally bald in high school.
	By choice?
	By nature.
	Just by nature.
	I mean, just like he'd been fucking eating lightning his whole life.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like this dude had no hair left on his head.
	And he was crying.
	I don't know if he was on drugs or what was happening, but we drove over to this party.
	He's just like, hey, man, will you give me a ride over there?
	I was like, yeah, sure, man.
	Jump in.
	You know, we're leaving.
	He had worn a coat, a dress coat that had shoulder pads in it, you know?
	And he started crying because we were graduating and he talked about that, oh, people, he said, people always think I look like Damon Wayans.
	Will you bring a picture of Damon Wayans?
	Is he black?
	No, this guy's white.
	Oh, okay.
	So right then, as soon as, yeah, I think because he's bald, he goes and people are always saying, hey, man, you look like Damon Wayans.
	And, you know, and I just, I think I might have a career in Hollywood, but I'm afraid to go out there.
	And he started crying, right?
	So I'm in the car.
	I'm like, dude, it's prom night, right?
	Just you two in the car.
	Yeah, just me too.
	So anyway, I had to sit there for like 40 minutes and listen to him.
	And he went on and on.
	And he looked nothing like Damon Wayans.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so that was my.
	That kind of ruined the vibe for you after that?
	Yeah, when I got there, the girl I was seeing was really an alcoholic.
	So when I got there, she was wasted and fistfighting somebody she thought was me.
	How crazy is that?
	Sounds like he got out of that one.
	I would take Damon Wayne's in the car over that one.
	Yeah, I would take Damon Wayne.
	Who went to your school?
	It sounds like a bunch of real degenerates.
	Oh, the first white kid that wanted to be black ever.
	They used to call him Wiggas back in the day, went to our school, right?
	And nobody had ever seen it before.
	People were like, what's going on?
	You know, he wore like a starter jacket and stuff, and they put him in learning disabled classes.
	How crazy is that?
	This is Louisiana.
	Yeah.
	Because he wanted to be.
	Because he was like such a, you know, he just acted so black.
	Didn't everyone go through that phase, though?
	Oh, definitely.
	I don't even know how old you are.
	I'm 39. I'm an adult.
	Damn, you're like 10 years old, over 10 years older than me.
	Am I really?
	Yeah.
	When I was in high school, though, we all went through that phase.
	Oh, really?
	Even in South Dakota.
	Really?
	I went through a phase for a time.
	Oh, I went through like a 50 Cent phase.
	Yeah.
	Every song.
	But what did you do?
	Oh, so you just love the music?
	Every song.
	Yeah, I mean, there's nothing like rolling down the main street in Rapid City, South Dakota, 0-1 Malibu, listening to 50 Cent, listening to, I mean, Pop Lock and Drop It.
	That was a heyday of Pop Lock and Drop It.
	I played that at my cousin's funeral, actually.
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Sorry.
	But he loved rap music.
	Yeah, see that.
	Bring up a picture of that.
	Do you want a map of the city or?
	Yeah, just a picture of Rapid City.
	I want to see what we're looking at.
	So not a map.
	You know, like Mount Rushmore.
	You know, that with the faces, that's where I'm from.
	Oh, I've been there.
	You have.
	So, see, I live pretty close to there.
	What's the other city that's near there?
	Grand Rapids?
	No.
	No, that's a whole different state.
	Sioux Falls is near there.
	Sioux Falls, yeah.
	I did a comedy show in Sioux Falls one time.
	Siou Falls is pretty flat, not a lot going on.
	It wasn't a lot going on, and it was about one hour or about 45 minutes from the statues from the Mount Rushmore.
	Is that right?
	It's like four hours.
	Oh, then it's not it.
	Yeah, maybe I went to Rapid City.
	You went to well, yeah, it's about 45 minutes.
	If you were downtown Rapid City, then you were about 45 minutes from the heads.
	Was there a bar there that used to have a bird in it, a toucan or something, a parrot that was in the corner?
	It's not ringing a bell.
	Bar with parrot in it.
	Can you Google Nick?
	In Rapid City, South Dakota.
	In Rapid City, South Dakota.
	You're like 12 years older than me, so.
	It could have been in Pierre right there.
	Joe Corey remembered that.
	I remember.
	See, it's actually called Pierre, but we're South Dakota.
	We just Pier.
	Pierre.
	Let's get to the point.
	Pierre, yeah.
	Just cut out.
	We also have a city called Bellefouche.
	Sounds like a toilet being flush.
	Like Belfouche.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think it's French as well.
	Belfouche, Pierre.
	Both of those things are.
	There were a lot of French people.
	Trappers or something.
	Oh, yeah, I could see that.
	Different kind of trappers than we have now.
	Not like trap rappers, but just trappers for the furs, you know.
	Do you listen to any rap music now or no?
	Of course I do.
	Oh, I've had...
	Boy, let me tell you.
	I've had feuds with about every...
	Who hates me?
	Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z.
	I'm in a Jay-Z song.
	If you can pull that, you might not be able to play that.
	You might have to get some lyrical issues.
	You might have to pay him for it.
	You have to pay the man.
	Drug Dealers Anonymous.
	My voice is in that song.
	Wow.
	Take a listen.
	I said, for, I think it's 14 years.
	Now it's slipping my mind.
	For 14 years, your husband was a drug dealer.
	He sold crack cocaine.
	It's in that song.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	I haven't heard that.
	Yeah, you need to take a listen.
	So it seemed like these kind of feuds, like you like, you get into, like, it's.
	Because they act like they're so tough, but they're so fragile.
	21 Savage, that's another one I had a feud with.
	I actually really like 21 Savage.
	That was sad.
	But, you know, Ice came.
	He passed away?
	No, no, ICE came and knocked on his door because he was in the country illegally.
	Oh, yeah, they moved him to Sweden, right?
	Yeah, they, well, I don't know where they moved him, but, you know, I just tweeted about that.
	I'm a big proponent of ICE.
	Whenever ICE does its thing, so just, you know, the law came a calling.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, no, the rappers, they don't like me that.
	I wouldn't say that, oh, Lizzo, just last week.
	Lizzo and I scrapped.
	We scrapped a little bit.
	I saw that.
	I don't know why.
	If you're going to write something back, do you ask a friend?
	Like, hey, I need some help.
	You mean like ask a black person?
	Is that what you're asking for?
	It could be a white friend, too.
	Or somebody that's mixed or just a white guy from Flint, Michigan.
	But do you ask somebody for help?
	Like, hey, is this good?
	Like, hey, is this good?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Oh, because comedians do that sometimes.
	Like, if you're going to do a tweet sometimes or something, sometimes you'll ask, you'll send it to your buddy first.
	And if he doesn't answer back and you want to put it out, you're like, what the fuck, man?
	Check it out and see if it's funny.
	I need to post this shit.
	No, I just go ahead and post it.
	But no matter what, no matter what I say, even if what I say is better than what they said, like last week, the Lizzo thing.
	It was impeachment.
	So she tweeted out like an impeachment with like a peach in it.
	And then I responded to it.
	And then all the Google alerts afterwards and all the articles from like hip-hop unlocked and all those was, oh, Lizzo drags Tommy.
	You respond with a peach.
	You don't drag me.
	True, you could do a lot to me, but you didn't in that instance.
	It's like everyone is, if ever it's a conservative, it's like, they got dragged by.
	Oh, yeah.
	Like Cardi B drags, she was going to dog walk me.
	You know, that was her thing with me.
	Yeah, it's a lot of, I mean, yeah, definitely there's only really one.
	Pull up that picture.
	There's a lot of memes that Cardi B dog walk.
	You'll see it.
	Everyone, they made a convenient.
	Well, yeah, let's see.
	Some images.
	See?
	Yeah, that was going around for a little bit.
	Oh, who is that?
	Oh, that's Cardi B. Well, that's her.
	What kind of dog are you on?
	It looks like, I don't know, like a pit bull.
	If I had to guess.
	Well, it's really tough.
	I mean, it's just because there's so much power.
	There's so many cameras and so many networks that the people that own them are the people that are liberal, you know?
	And there's so few, I feel like, that are just avenues to be outspoken and be conservative, you know?
	A lot more conservatives or people that vote conservative, they just vote.
	Right, but we're out there.
	Right.
	If they were smart, they would cater to.
	Like, we watch reality TV.
	Right.
	We watch football.
	We watch all the things that they think that they're their liberal audience.
	It's conservatives that are watching your stuff.
	It's conservatives in places like where I'm from, where it's cold in the winter, and we watch your sitcoms and all your crap.
	Right.
	We are your viewers.
	Like, you think it's these people that are running around here in LA?
	No, these people are homeless here.
	It's Midwest people that can't be outside homeless because they freeze to death.
	Those people watching your stuff.
	Yeah.
	But they alienate us.
	Like, we're not their audience.
	Do you feel like Hollywood alienates?
	100%.
	There are so many conservatives in Hollywood that wouldn't.
	But here's the thing, though, but it's bad business to do that.
	But why wouldn't you?
	That's why I don't understand that.
	And I'm not saying that I disagree with you, but I'm saying that a lot of people that work in the industry are so smart that it would seem like, why wouldn't you see that this is bad business?
	Why wouldn't you see that this just doesn't help?
	It doesn't help by alienating.
	You're talking about not alienating people and then you alienate people.
	But what they do, though, is they look at people like me and Trump supporters.
	They look at us like we're less than morally.
	So it's easy to alienate us because they've come up with in their mind that we're horrible, evil people and we're racist and we're bigots and we're all this.
	So they can alienate us because that's just how they see us.
	They don't want to see anything different.
	They don't want to talk to people that are not like them because they'd rather just put them in that box and cast them aside.
	Again, it's the same thing that they say don't do.
	They say don't behave this way.
	Don't what I don't like is one thing that gets me in that space is that all people that are basically like if you're from a rural place and you're white, that you are racist, that you are homophobic.
	Man, that stuff Really, it's almost the most ignorant thing you could think.
	It's like you think, like, I had a guy say, Oh, you're from Louisiana.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, man.
	So, obviously, you know, you know, you probably grew up racist, you know, and it's like, man, just it's just like if you want to be diverse and you want to be welcoming, at least know who is in your own country first.
	Like, it's just such a narrow-minded thing from people in a place where people, there's so much education here in Los Angeles.
	There's so much, you know, people that have traveled and people that have, you know, had experiences.
	There's a lot of diversity here.
	You would think that people here would be able to, would at least know who is also in their country.
	But they don't like, not everybody.
	I don't like to put everybody in one category, but there's a lot of people here.
	They don't like people from where I'm from, or they don't want to like them.
	They don't want to get to know them.
	Like, we're the flyover states.
	They look at people from South Dakota, from Louisiana, from Mississippi, from other places in this country, and they're like, eh, not really like our kind of people.
	They're just in the middle.
	They're just the little people.
	And that's why Trump won.
	Because he said, you matter and you're not forgotten anymore.
	And that's why he's going to win again.
	They're going to do the same thing.
	They are so stupid.
	They did it in 2016.
	They're doing it even worse now.
	And they think it's, what is it going to get them?
	I don't know.
	I think they're just trying to get ready for 2024.
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I do think that Trump is going to win in 2020.
	I don't see, I just don't, there's too much beef now, even it seems like on the Democratic side, I don't know that much about, you know, I don't follow a lot of politics.
	You know, I know, obviously I know the easy ones, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan.
	One time I was at my school when I was growing up, I was walking down the hall behind two janitors, and one of them said to the other one, he goes, hey, man, did you get the chairs ready in the gym?
	Mr. Ford is going to be speaking in there later today.
	And the guy goes, President Ford?
	And the guy goes, no, Mr. Ford, the fucking science teacher, dude.
	Not President Ford, you idiot.
	So, but anyway, so yeah, I mean, I know a lot of the presidents and I know like the lady that bought the bus and then it went out of business because I got into a bus company for a while back and we went out of business.
	Kind of like the zoo you almost bought in Mexico?
	The Sinaloa and Zoo, man.
	$1,400.
	Almost, yeah, I'm glad I didn't do it because there was a fire down there.
	Imagine that.
	Imagine that.

	But do you like, at this point, it's like a lot of news is just for ratings, it seems like now.
	I mean, sometimes do you feel like you're going into a ball game and it's like, and it's not as much beliefs as much as it is like, let's see if we can start some shit.
	It's kind of like, who's the black gentleman on ESPN every morning that just starts showing?
	Stephen A. Stephen A. Smith.
	Yeah.
	You're almost like the white Stephen A. Smith a little bit.
	Do you ever feel like that?
	No.
	No, I just, I think that a conversation needs to be started.
	But for what I do and people that are on, say, the channel, I think it's a little different.
	I don't speak the way they speak.
	I speak very commonly, plainly, like way people understand.
	Kind of similar to the way you talk.
	That's why I am where I am, because I speak to people in the way that they like to be spoken to.
	That's what Trump does too, even though he's a billionaire from New York.
	He talks like they talk, and they like that.
	So I don't fit the mold either.
	I mean, how many people on Fox News do you know that have, well, a lot of them have blonde hair, but have like a nose ring and talk the way I talk and do what I do?
	Not many.
	Is that your only piercing, that one?
	No, I have two.
	I have a belly button nose.
	Yeah.
	You were hoping it was something else, weren't you, Nick?
	Nick's had some issues with sexual issues on your shit.
	You have some piercings?
	Workplace, huh?
	Yes.
	Well, I don't work here, so.
	Good point.
	No, I don't.
	I've thought about it though, but I just don't know what I would get.
	Piercings or tattoos?
	I would get a tattoo, I think.
	You don't have any tattoos?
	Falcons on my fucking back, maybe?
	Yeah.
	Maybe a tattoo of me beating the shit out of Chris DeLeo on my back.
	That'd be good.
	No, I don't have any.
	I've thought about it, though.
	Do you have one?
	I have two.
	What are they?
	I have one on my wrist.
	It's an 11 semicolon.
	And I have my state flower and my state grass on the back of my neck.
	Okay.
	And that's Montana?
	South Dakota.
	And do people get them confused a lot?
	North Dakota and South Dakota.
	I've never had people get it confused from Montana.
	That's crazy.
	Can I be the first?
	We're all just somewhere up there where it's cold.
	Yeah, people...
	Yeah, I guess, yeah, a lot of people just...
	You know, you start to think that this is the whole country.
	You know, it just kind of happens.
	Do you notice that a little bit?
	You have to notice how the perspective is how I feel like there's just two total different perspectives in the country now.
	Like some people live like in one world and some people live in another world.
	Some people live in the real world and some people live in California.
	Some people are more idealistic and some people are more, it seems practical.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, I mean, it's not practical here.
	Gas at almost $4 a gallon doesn't sound practical to me.
	Yeah.
	A gas tax that we voted for ourselves, like we voted that in.
	We had a chance to repeal it and we didn't.
	That doesn't really give me a lot of confidence, my fellow Californians here.
	Who doesn't vote to repeal a tax on themselves?
	Yeah.
	How did we get here?
	How did we get here?
	But you know, there's a lot of things.
	It's expensive, man.
	I agree.
	It's expensive.
	But there's a lot of good stuff, too.
	Yeah.
	There's an ocean.
	Yep.
	There's the beach.
	There is, there's a lot of different types of people.
	There's a lot of talented people.
	True.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Like I said, I don't cross the 405.
	There's a lot of opportunity to do different things.
	That's true.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, California is a great place to be.
	California is a great place.
	It's just being run into the ground.
	Like, you can't look around here and think things are going well here.
	Like, you found people to judge your talent competition in a park.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	And if you did that now, you'd have to do auditions to get the people from the park because there'd be so many you'd audition to go to the talent show.
	You go out there right now and say, who wants to judge a talent competition?
	Yeah.
	I don't know what you'd find.
	Yeah.
	I don't know what you find.
	There's also a Twitter account I want you to follow called Santa Monica Problems.
	Yeah.
	They document it.
	Is it good?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I mean, there's a lot of, like a lot of masturbating and stuff.
	They don't even blur that out.
	They're just like, this is what we have here.
	Yeah.
	You know, you've seen it.
	Look, people say it's an unborn, if it's not born yet, it doesn't have any rights, right?
	What do they say?
	I'm not sure.
	What do they say?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I was looking at Santa Monica problems.
	Dude, I remember my dad, if we masturbated, he made us bury it in the yard.
	He's like, that's God's.
	You have to bury that in the yard.
	He made us go bury the semen out in the yard.
	Yeah, that's crazy, right?
	You never heard that before?
	Yeah, I hadn't heard it either.
	He was getting older, though, so I think he might have been, you know, a little kind of all over the place.
	So you had, but you had a thing when you worked at the Blaze, right?
	Yeah.
	And you had a, whenever you got laid off.
	I got fired.
	Okay, sorry.
	Yeah, try to put it nice.
	You don't like things put nice.
	You just like things put.
	Because I didn't get laid off.
	I got fired and I had to sue.
	Like, you know, it doesn't.
	Right.
	Things got a little messy there.
	Were you shocked that they, because you had a point of view on abortion, right?
	Yeah.
	And were you shocked that they like, were you shocked at how they just, did they not want you to have that point of view?
	You know, well, it was a conservative place.
	So I get it.
	But for me, I always try to clarify that comment.
	So here's the way I feel about it.
	I'm not pro-abortion.
	I don't believe the government should be in people's business.
	I believe in limited government.
	Like, I feel as conservatives, that's what we should stand up for.
	Don't take our guns.
	Don't say who we can and cannot marry.
	Don't get involved in abortion.
	That is not a government issue.
	And it doesn't do any good because the government is not going to prevent it.
	It's just going to make it more difficult for people and put people in danger.
	So that's where I stand on that, limited government.
	But no, they were just looking for a way to get me out the door.
	Had things kind of spoiled already?
	Well, I was pro-Trump, and my boss, who's a conservative, was anti-Trump.
	Glenn Beck was the biggest never-Trumper that there was.
	I mean, election night, we had to do like a live stream, and he was painting over in the corner to calm his nerves.
	And then at one point in the night, we looked like Trump for a while.
	I don't even know, like a landscape.
	You can call it Trump.
	It's easy, bro.
	If you're going to fucking paint something, paint something hard.
	You know, Glenn's an odd character.
	Right.
	Glenn Beck?
	Glenn Beck, yeah.
	Glenn Beck thinks that he is Walt Disney.
	Not like I'm inspired by Walt Disney.
	Glenn Beck thinks he's Walt Disney.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of weird stuff.
	There's a lot of weird stuff I encountered.
	Does he have children or not?
	Yeah, he's got quite a few children, I think.
	Yeah, he's a later-in-life Mormon.
	Okay.
	It came to the religion, like, wasn't born into it.
	Okay.
	And he lives in Utah now?
	No, he lives in Dallas.
	Huh.
	And so you guys butted his?
	Well, he never really spoke to me up until he fired me, and then he was real chatty about firing me.
	Oh, wow.
	Do you think he, what do you think?
	Why do you think if he really did fire you?
	Was there something behind that?
	Well, when you're pro-Trump and then Trump wins, and then you were anti-Trump, you kind of look like a jackass.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	And you're running a conservative network, but you're against the Republican president who just won the presidency.
	It doesn't look good.
	So you got to get rid of the person in the building that kind of knew all this was going to happen.
	So this is a real convenient way to cast me out.
	And were you upset?
	Were you like nervous when that happened?
	You had to be scared.
	You're like, what am I going to do now?
	How am I going to?
	Well, I had a choice.
	I could sit back for six months and get a paycheck and just go completely dark and not do anything.
	And then they wanted to take over my Facebook page, which has got 4.6 million followers.
	They wanted to just delete it.
	That was mainly what the lawsuit was over.
	It's like, you know, you're not going to delete my Facebook page.
	What benefit would he have to delete my Facebook page other than just being a vindictive a-hole?
	Right.
	And have you guys seen each other since it all went down?
	No.
	Someday.
	Yeah.
	Someday there'll be a moment.
	Do you have in your head like a vision of where you guys kind of like you show back up with your, you know, it's almost like the channel 4 news team, like on that movie with that Will Farrell?
	Yeah.
	And he comes in and he's like, oh, this is, you know, like the two news teams going at each other.
	Do you have that kind of vision in your head?
	No, I don't know if I'll ever see good old Glenn Beck again.
	Is he handsome or not?
	Not my type.
	Maybe he's your type, not my type.
	Oh, no.
	I've never been with a man.
	I've never, I've never even thought about it longer than like a, maybe a second and a half.
	And that was only because I don't know, something that pops in your head when you're jogging or something for like a brief second.
	You got to shake it off, you know?
	Interesting.
	Yeah, so anyway, my prom experience was shit.
	It was really bad.
	Was Tomi on court?
	Huh?
	Were you on court?
	Would I go to court?
	Were you on prom court?
	Prom court.
	Oh, hell no.
	Really?
	No, I wasn't like that popular.
	No.
	I mean, I ran everything.
	I set up prom, but I wasn't.
	Oh, you on student council then?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Student council president, student council.
	Student council president.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that girl's usually kind of fucking aggravating, I feel like.
	Were you?
	I don't know.
	I was an aggravating, I guess.
	No, I planned everybody's, everybody's so lazy.
	Yeah.
	I planned everybody.
	Somebody has to do it all.
	Like, someone has to pay for your concession stand.
	Like, someone has to go work that and get the freaking hot dogs out of the boiler and give them to people.
	Yeah, because otherwise you're just standing around.
	You're wishing you had some airheads and you don't, you know.
	Everybody wants stuff to get done.
	It's just kind of like it is now.
	It's like nobody wants to do anything.
	Right.
	It's kind of interesting.
	Yeah.
	There really isn't a very strong, like, it feels like, yeah, there's not like a young, strong, right, like conservative voice.
	So you're like, oh, I have to do this.
	Is that kind of how you got into like being like being so like adamant?
	You have to be, though.
	We have to combat some of this stuff.
	Yeah.
	I've always just been opinion.
	It's just who I am.
	But I just didn't understand why we as conservatives always apologize for everything that we believe.
	We're so scared of everybody.
	We don't want to say what we're thinking because we don't want to be labeled.
	We don't want to be called a name.
	Oh, if you think this, you're a racist.
	If you think that, you're intolerant.
	If you believe in border security, then you hate Mexicans.
	No, let's just talk about what our ideas are.
	Let's shape the narrative.
	I'd rather be the one that does it than have the other side do it.
	So why are we not doing it?
	The left does it.
	You're not going to meet a liberal in California who's going to be embarrassed to say they're a liberal.
	But there's a lot of conservatives walking around here.
	They won't say anything.
	Oh, yeah.
	If you're conservative here, you have to meet up in basements at night.
	You have to fucking meet up behind the dairy queen.
	You know, you can't even.
	Yeah, it seems like it's like, yeah, but there's, yeah, I guess it's just, yeah, I never thought about it like that.
	Yeah, like people, if they're conservative, they can't really have a voice here.
	No, not in LA.
	It's going to change, though.
	It's going to get so bad here that people are going to look at it and say, how do we get, I would think people would look at the state and say, well, who's running it?
	Maybe he's not doing such a great job.
	Maybe it's time for a change.
	I don't know.
	It seems like all like it almost seems like a lot of times the liberal, the liberal world or whatever, it's like they'll go to the death being wrong or not wanting to concede any like.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Eventually, though, the people are going to, well, you know, I don't know.
	We got a voter fraud problem.
	We got an illegal immigrant problem.
	Who knows what's going to happen to this state?
	But the really rich people, even like the really compassionate, wealthy, rich liberals, they're not going to stay here and pay these taxes.
	They're going to live somewhere else for five months a year.
	They're going to pay this.
	They don't want to do this.
	Why would anybody want to do this?
	Even the liberals that are so compassionate, they don't want to give their money to the government.
	Come on.
	We're going to get out of here.
	And then we're not going to have much.
	Right.
	Right.
	Because then who's going to pay for everything?
	Not the homeless.
	Yeah.
	Not the illegal immigrants.
	What's left here?
	We only are able to continue at this pace because we have the tech industry and because we have Hollywood.
	People aren't making movies here anymore either.
	Why do you think?
	They're not going to deal with all the regulations and how much it costs to make a movie in California anymore.
	They're going to Georgia.
	Come on.
	Nobody's staying here.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	I mean, the taxes are definitely egregious.
	It's crazy.
	It makes you think like, yeah, how can I not go somewhere else?
	So what brought you to live here then?
	I want to save it.
	I want to change it.
	I would think that that could be done if people would wake up and see all the things that are just happening here.
	That's what brought you to Los Angeles?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You have to be able to go somewhere where people don't think like you do.
	That's why I went to school in Vegas.
	I lived in Texas, which is very conservative, but still it's changing.
	And I've lived in San Diego and now here in LA.
	It's like you have to go where people don't think like you do.
	So whenever you came, so you came to Los Angeles and people don't think like you do here.
	You'd be surprised, though.
	A lot of people come up to me.
	I'm a conservative.
	Yeah, they're low-key conservative.
	Yeah, like I can't tell anybody.
	Can't tell anybody.
	You can, but they're afraid.
	They'll lose their job.
	I have people that are prominent people in Hollywood, prominent producers, directors, everything that are conservative.
	Oh, people come up to me all the time.
	People always think like I'm running the underground railroad of conservatives, you know, like I'm the fucking, you know.
	You think it's a mullet?
	Yeah, maybe.
	It could be that.
	It could be just the fucking sheer amazingness of myself.
	But it's one of those two things, I think.
	But they'll be like, hey, where's the meeting at?
	Like, what are you talking about, man?
	I think it's a mullet, maybe.
	It could be it.
	But yeah, people come sometimes and it's definitely scary to think that you could lose your job to express a political belief.
	Yeah.
	And I think that that's the kind of thing no one should ever have to feel that way.
	You know, and that's the thing that makes me just scared sometimes about anywhere.
	Someone should never feel that way.
	You know, I think you can always, you know, figure it out and discuss it.
	I mean, I was nervous about even having you come on because I'm like, oh, well, this could be, you know, it could be spoo.
	It could be, I don't know what I was really scared of, though.
	That's the thing.
	The fear is like an invisible fear.
	Isn't that weird, though, that we stop doing things because we're worried about what other people are going to think about what we do?
	Like, I'll tell you this.
	So if I, I've had a lot of people on my shows or I've gone on other people's shows and I don't worry about how conservatives are going to think of me.
	I don't worry like if I go on with Trevor Noah on the daily show, I'm Like, oh boy, like conservatives aren't going to like me anymore.
	We don't think that way.
	But the other side is like, well, what if I, if I even have so much as have this person on my podcast, or I talk to this person or have a commentary with this person, even if I agree with them or disagree with them the entire time, just like the thought of being in the same room, people are, oh, you can't do that.
	You'll offend, you'll offend people.
	Yeah, it's just not a help.
	It's not, first of all, it's no way to even get forward in anything.
	It's no way to discuss.
	You can't have a discussion unless people are communicating.
	But people don't want to have a discussion on that.
	What does one of you be wrong?
	They don't like that.
	They don't like it when the, because you know, when the truth comes in the door, the bullshit's got to go out the window.
	So they don't, they don't like that.
	And they might find that you might have more in common.
	Like people would be surprised.
	Like Van Jones and I are actually friends.
	So people would be shocked at that.
	Clearly not similar in any other way, but it's like we can have a conversation.
	Why not?
	Trevor Noel and I actually are pretty good friends.
	Yeah.
	I've had good time.
	I mean, I was with Chelsea Handler.
	We did a whole thing together.
	Yeah.
	And she was pretty cool to me.
	I think she's crazy, but she was pretty cool to me.
	So whatever.
	I was on the view.
	That's how I lost my job, being on the view.
	Did you, do you, do you feel like sometimes, though, that you like you, like there's one thing to like kind of share how you feel, right?
	And there's another thing to like bring the fucking fire.
	You can't say it nicely.
	You don't walk into a room.
	When shit gets bad here, when socialism comes knocking on the door, because it already is in California, when that stuff's starting to come, we've got presidential candidates that are talking about, you don't need a gun.
	We're going to come take your guns.
	We want bigger government.
	We want to take more of your tax dollars.
	That's socialism.
	See what Venezuela is like right now.
	Like, it's not good.
	Yeah, they're not doing well.
	You can't walk into a room and be like, guys, I don't think we should let them take our guns.
	No, you're going to be like, no, we're not going to take our guns.
	We're going to stand up for ourselves.
	We're going to be patriotic.
	We're going to stand for the fucking flag.
	We're going to have American values.
	That's what we're going to do.
	You don't can't tiptoe into a room and say that.
	You have to come because that's how they do it.
	So why are we have to, people say that to me all the time.
	Well, do you think maybe you're like too aggressive?
	A liberal's never apologized for it.
	So why should I have to apologize for it?
	There's such a load of bullshit.
	It's like, well, you're controversial.
	No, I'm conservative and you don't like it.
	So it's controversial to you.
	Personally, I think socialism and trying to get rid of the Second Amendment and the taxes we pay in this state and letting felons out, I think that those things are controversial.
	Those are a much bigger problem.
	Yeah, a lot of that shit is scary shit.
	And it's a lot of stuff, yeah, that a lot of people, they, it's interesting how online people are one way and then the reality of who they are is different.
	You know, yeah, people wouldn't, actually, I can't say people wouldn't say that to my face because people have said it to my face plenty of times.
	Look, it's a new year and it's a new you?

	Who's probably the most handsome politician that you've seen?
	Besides that guy, I cannot believe you picked that guy.
	Paul Ryan?
	Yeah.
	There's not a lot to choose from.
	What about Bill Clinton?
	No.
	You think he's handsome?
	He always looks like he has a permanent sunburn.
	And I know that Donald Trump has a spray tan, but Bill Clinton always looked like his face, like he's got a sunburn.
	Yeah, I could see that a little bit.
	I think he's getting some of that like he's been drinking, but he shouldn't be drinking.
	Like the doctor told him not to drink anymore and he's still drinking.
	Yeah.
	He went on a health kick, though.
	I think Hillary put him on something.
	It scares me whenever old people try to get real healthy because it's like, oh, this could kill them.
	You know, it's like risky.
	If you've done it for that long, might as well.
	Yeah, to stay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, who else is attractive?
	There's not many.
	Yeah.
	If you do good-looking male politician, it's like Gavin Newsom and Justin Trudeau that come up.
	Oh, Justin Trudeau.
	He just felt like.
	Oh, that's the guy that married his mother.
	Is that the guy?
	No, but his eyebrows fell off.
	Have you ever seen that?
	Uh-uh.
	You need to Google that too.
	His eyebrows fell off his face.
	Oh, damn.
	You need to see it.
	Do you get worried sometimes for yourself?
	Like, do you get scared being like a conservative voice living in LA?
	Like, does it physically, like actually, you actually get spooked?
	Yeah, I've been to the police station a few times.
	Some real credible threats.
	But listen, I believe in the Second Amendment.
	Do you have a gun at home?
	Of course I do.
	If someone's going to come into my house, they're going to know who I am, and they're not there to just give me their political opinion.
	Listen, it's not going to turn out well for me.
	Did you write your name on the bullets or no?
	No.
	I could see you totally coming out with a line of bullets.
	No, no, I don't think that would.
	I think people would.
	We can collaborate on it if you want, but I want to go down to the border.
	I know you invited me to go down there.
	I think you need to go.
	I think the agents would really enjoy it.
	I was just down there and Tito Ortiz came through.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	I served food with him one time at a homeless shelter down here.
	Yeah.
	You should come to the border, though.
	Yeah, we'll go to the Blackhawk.
	You can see the need for the wall.
	We'll show you where there's no wall.
	We'll show you the wall that's being built.
	You can see it's not going to be a lot of people.
	Well, it's just so scary to get like these days, it's so scary to get stuff through the news because I feel like the news has become such a place for business as opposed to, and it probably always was.
	That's why you got to go.
	Right.
	When people talk about the border and they've never been to the border, when Democrats say like, we don't need a wall, like I haven't seen you down there.
	Like, if you're going to our border patrol agents who are saying, this is my job, and I think we need a wall because this would help us do our job better because a physical barrier would be helpful for us.
	And then you've got Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer saying, no, we don't need a wall.
	It's like you're directly contradicting the people that do that for a living.
	Would you go to a plumber?
	It's like, I think that's a problem.
	I think you need to fix it this way and be like, no, you don't know what you're doing, man.
	Right.
	Pretty sure they do.
	That's our.
	Yeah, well, it's like, it's crazy to hire people to do something and then to not let them do it.
	You know, it's like there's just, there's so many, it's almost like there's too many checks and balances these days in some ways.
	We need checks and balances, but it's just, you got to, we had an opportunity.
	Listen, I don't let Republicans off the hook either.
	We sat there for two years with all that power.
	Where's the wall?
	Yeah.
	No.
	Is there a wall right now or not?
	Yeah, there's a wall being built.
	I've seen it on multiple areas of the border.
	It's being built.
	We need more of it, but it's being built.
	Huh.
	I wonder if there's going to be a shit ton of graffiti on it.
	Let them.
	I think you should put Donald Trump's face right on the side of that wall.
	Just have him looking right at you.
	Come on over.
	Come try it.
	Come try it.
	That's what I put on.
	Put it on both sides.
	I don't care.
	Wow.
	Put Donald Trump on that.
	Put him on that wall.
	Put Nancy on that wall.
	You want people to stay away?
	Put Hillary on that wall.
	Hilarious.
	Hillary and Donald are starting to look like each other.
	Google right now.
	I mean, I've seen that meme.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Google Donald and Michael Moore right now.
	There's a picture of them they put up yesterday.
	I think so.
	Michael Moore.
	Just wait.
	No, they don't.
	There's a picture they put up yesterday, and I saw it, and they really look alike.
	No, come on.
	Getting closer.
	Hillary looks more like Trump than.
	Hillary and Donald are starting to look similar.
	They look more similar than Michael Moore.
	That's just such an insult.
	Are you excited with the election looming again?
	Are you excited because it's more of a vibrant time where you're going to be able to get more into things?
	Are you looking forward to that?
	I've been like that since 2016.
	Things were boring before that, but things are exciting every single day with this president.
	But it's going to be, I like the debates.
	Did you watch the Hillary Trump debates?
	Yes.
	See, those were great.
	Whoever we get this time is going to be even better.
	Biden right now, I would feel bad for him.
	Can you imagine?
	I just cannot believe.
	I just hope that everybody keeps getting older and it keeps getting weirder.
	I want to see a fucking swimsuit section of the debates.
	That's what I want to say.
	I want to see it get really, really weird, you know?
	No.
	No, I think that's a no.
	Well, did you watch the debate where Trump, like he's a troll king, where he had Bill's accusers in the front row of that debate?
	Oh, yeah, it's crazy, huh?
	That's so, it's so crazy how, like, do you think they really had beef, though?
	Because it seemed like before that, they're all on the same, they're all running around the same world.
	Here, we got a question that let me know if you can hear this from the headphones.
	Okay.
	Hey, Tommy, I just have one question.
	Do you ever see comedians?
	Do you go to comedy shows and listen to our boy Theo ever?
	Or other individuals?
	So I need to go see one of your shows, but you have them places I'm scared to go to.
	Really?
	Yeah, I have to wear my I have to wear that maybe.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	No, it would be bad because you're not going to perform.
	Unless you're going to perform in like Hermosa, then we've got a comedy club in Hermosa.
	They have a comedy club, yeah.
	You got to come through.
	I'll have to come through.
	That's my safe space.
	You know what?
	Are you familiar with Ben Gleib?
	Yeah.
	So Ben used to be a really good friend of mine.
	I had Ben on.
	I vouch for him to come on Fox Nation and do our post-debate coverage a couple months ago.
	Vouch for him.
	He's obviously a Democrat.
	He's running for president.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So I vouch for him to come do this.
	We get to the end of the coverage.
	He freaks out, says this is bullshit, pulls his mic out and walks out the room.
	Like, dude, you're seriously?
	I vouch for you to come on here.
	He does that to me.
	And then he starts tweeting mean shit about me.
	I'm like, what I do to you?
	We are friends.
	Weird shit happens.
	Telling you.
	Maybe he was just trying to get like a.
	Oh, his moment.
	He's trying to get a moment.
	Yeah.
	Hunting moments.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that was his moment.
	It's so wild how it's become such a moment thing.
	You know, it's like, that's one thing I liked about seeing Bernie on Rogan was, and I know that other politicians, I know that Yang was on there.
	I got to check some of them out.
	I haven't listened to all of them.
	But I felt like that's why I think Bernie would get the nomination because people for the first time got to hear him just talk.
	It was like you almost got to know him a lot better.
	People say the same thing about Hillary on Howard Stern, that it was just the first time you got to hear her be like a regular person without a script.
	And it was actually kind of interesting.
	Yeah, no, I think they should all do that.
	Yeah.
	I think they should invite Trump on and let him talk too.
	Yeah.
	But he kind of does it on his own.
	He probably doesn't need the help.
	Yeah, well, it's funny.
	It's like the only, it's almost like sometimes, I don't think senior citizens should be allowed on Twitter.
	I think there should be like a cutoff.
	I think it would just help them all.
	But sometimes that's his only news sources or the only way that he can say.
	He's just going to get it out.
	They're not going to cover it.
	They're not going to cover money or they're going to distort it.
	So thank God for Twitter and Facebook and all the places he can live stream his stuff because otherwise he wouldn't be president.
	He couldn't get his message out.
	So that's the beauty.
	When you're not politic and what do you like to like, what is, I'm trying to just see who, like, you know, I just wish you'd have had more fun at that prom, you know?
	I travel a lot for work.
	I mean, I work a lot, but I enjoy what I do.
	So it's not all, I do a lot for law enforcement.
	Like I love law enforcement.
	I love military.
	I love our border patrol.
	So I do a lot with them.
	Have you seen a new show called Flint Town?
	No.
	It's on Netflix.
	It's really good.
	Okay.
	It's just about like a police department in Flint.
	Okay.
	So you get to like see Flint and stuff like that.
	Yeah, I will watch that.
	Is it real Social Justice Warrior-y, though?
	It's not too bad.
	Okay, because I can't, I can not handle that.
	I stopped watching the Kardashians when they started doing that.
	And any show they start doing that.
	I'm like, I can't even watch it anymore.
	Can't even watch it.
	Yeah, definitely over the past couple years, a lot of things ridiculously got kind of political.
	You know, it just like made some entertainment kind of dumb, you know.
	But that's why I think one thing like podcasting became bigger is because people can just talk, you know, they can just have a conversation.
	Let's get another question that came in.
	Here's a guy right here.
	Oh, did you ever see any other comedians?
	We didn't ask you.
	Do you have comedians that you like or watch?
	I don't go because I'm scared.
	But I used to love Chelsea Handler.
	I used to love, like, that was my favorite show, Chelsea lately, on E. I watched it every single night.
	My favorite.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I love Chelsea Handler.
	And then it got, again, it got weird.
	Well, she got, I mean, she just got real political.
	Yeah, see?
	And then that, that, what was that?
	That Netflix show was horrible.
	She wasn't funny anymore.
	She was, she lost being funny a while ago, I think.
	Rich Chewy.
	Yeah, RP Chewy died.
	Yeah.
	That's sad.
	I watched that show all through high school.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	It's a good show.
	Let's get this question here.
	Hey, Tommy.
	Hey, Theo.
	John here from New Jersey.
	And big fan of both of yours.
	And I had a quick question for Tommy.
	I saw you went and saw Morgan Whalen a couple months ago on Instagram.
	And I wanted to see what your opinion was who's got the better mullet, Theo or Morgan?
	He's right.
	I told you.
	And he DM'd me too.
	He's like, I love Theo.
	I was like, you need to be on the podcast.
	And he said, well, he needs to invite me.
	I said, I'm going to hook it up.
	I'm going to pitch it.
	There he is.
	Oh, wow.
	Look at that beautiful cut, huh?
	I'm telling you, he needs to be on.
	We have similar shoulders, too.
	Look at his shoulders kind of.
	Very nice.
	Yeah, that's his aesthetic.
	Did you get to meet him?
	Yeah, he's a good friend of mine.
	Yeah, I'm going to go see him in Dallas next week.
	You are?
	Yeah, but you're going to Europe, so you're kind of out of luck.
	But yeah, Morgan Willet.
	I'm out of luck right now.
	You need to.
	Let me see a little bit.
	Yeah, we got to hear more about Morgan Willen.
	Who has a better mullet, do you think?
	I don't really have a mullet.
	I have long hair.
	You have a mullet.
	It's a mullet.
	It's like a definitive mullet.
	Whatever.
	What do you think a mullet is?
	I think a mullet is something that's really, really more like, look a mullet.
	Here we go.
	Like this.
	Here's a Filipino guy right here with one.
	How is that different?
	Or semi-Korean, this guy.
	But here's the thing.
	Is that a mullet?
	Yeah.
	A mullet is anything that's shorter in the front and longer in the back.
	Okay.
	A big stair step.
	The big thing is called the skullet, and that's when you have no hair in the front and still have long hair in the back.
	What about rat tails?
	There's a skullet right there.
	It happened to rat tails.
	Remember that?
	Yeah, I remember that.
	You know, a couple of kids in South Dakota that got a rat tail.
	I'm like, what is this?
	My brother has one.
	I don't know.
	What did you have your hair like when you were a kid?
	I mean, nothing creative.
	Yeah.
	Nothing weird.
	Did you do pigtails?
	Did you do something?
	What'd you do?
	Do you do barretts?
	Sure.
	You did?
	Yeah.
	Just the normal kid stuff.
	Did you do a headband?
	You know it?
	A headband?
	I had a headband.
	Yeah.
	I did the whole 90s thing.
	Okay.
	You know, the whole 90s situation.
	Did you walk with your book bag on the front or the back?
	What do you mean the front?
	I don't know.
	Some people put it on the front.
	Some people don't steal their stuff?
	That must be a California thing.
	We don't have to worry about that in South Dakota.
	We were always on the back, man.
	You make everything political.
	What is political?
	I don't.
	You get your ass kicked in South Dakota.
	You walk around with a backpack in the front.
	Like people that carry like the babies in the front.
	Come on.
	I saw someone at LAX the other night.
	No shit.
	With a backpack in the front.
	I'm like, what are you worried about, dude?
	Well, he's worried pickpockets.
	He's worried about your friend.
	What's his name?
	Oh, Richard Tony.
	Richard Tony.
	Sneaking in there.
	He died, I think.
	Digging there in the back.
	Well, we don't talk about him then.
	No, it's fine.
	The other one, I mean, that's definitely an LA thing.
	That's because people do that.
	Stuff doesn't get stolen.
	Yeah.
	Not going to steal in South Dakota.
	I mean, not that people don't steal.
	Right.
	But there's not that many of us there, so you can pretty much figure it out.
	Right.
	And there's a little bit more.
	Yeah, there's a little bit more, I think, in places like that, there's a little bit more like rural justice kind of that happens, you know?
	Right.
	There's a little bit more like, okay, someone's not going to go do that because they know they're going to suffer a consequence.
	People are armed.
	We just saw that in Texas.
	But like in California, you do something to somebody, we're going to stab you with their needle.
	But what is the average person going to do?
	Give you like a good talking to?
	Yeah.
	You know, nothing tweet about it.
	Glitter.
	Yeah.
	Glitter bombs in your face or what?
	Let's get one or two more questions before you leave.
	You need to have Morgan on, though.
	I mean, I would love to have Morgan on.
	I'm telling him.
	Are you going to set it up?
	Yeah, I'm going to set it up.
	I want Master P on.
	I'll set that up, too.
	You will?
	Yeah, I got any of the rappers, you know.
	Who do you want?
	Who was like my ultimate person that I would like to Kaepernick?
	100%.
	Yeah.
	It just needs to happen.
	Yeah.
	Have you seen my Kaepernick video?
	I haven't seen it.
	You have to watch it.
	75 million views on that sucker.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, people were so heated about the Kaepernick thing.
	You have to watch it sometime.
	Do you think that he was that person?
	Or do you?
	No, 100% not.
	100%.
	He was pissed.
	I'm going to tell you the story.
	I get fired up about this.
	Okay.
	He was pissed.
	You've heard up about a lot.
	That's okay.
	That's good.
	It's interesting.
	I have my moments.
	Yeah, you have some chill moments.
	I have some chill moments, but tell you what happened with the Kaepernick.
	He got put on the bench.
	Blaine Gabbert became the starter.
	So he was over in the corner pissy.
	And he thought, what can I do?
	What can I do?
	Oh, I know.
	I'll make this.
	I'll make this a social justice warrior moment for myself.
	And then I'll start kneeling and sitting on the bench.
	It's like you didn't do it when you were the starter.
	You did it when your ass was on the bench.
	And now it's just a joke.
	Now his workout and stuff.
	Do you think what I heard was that he was dating a girl?
	Yeah.
	Who told him?
	Who really got into it?
	Yeah.
	Like, hey, listen, you need to, now you're kneeling for oppression.
	You weren't oppressed.
	All these years, you weren't oppressed.
	When you were making $19 million, you weren't oppressed.
	But now all of a sudden you're on the bench.
	You know, they're probably not going to, you're not going to give you what you want.
	They're not going to renew your contract.
	And then you become oppressed.
	Yeah.
	What they do need, you do have to like, but some of the outrage, some outrage stuff, it helps shine a light on things.
	I think sometimes it doesn't do a great job.
	How is kneeling for the anthem?
	How does that agree?
	I don't know if that was the most, I think, yeah, I think the bigger thing was just like, you know, people need to look at how black people are treated in America.
	I think that would, it would have just been better to have some organized way or, you know, or just some other way of doing that.
	But I think it did its job.
	I just think that it was a little, it was just, it wasn't organized really.
	I don't know if, but who knows if they had that plan from the beginning.
	Who knew that it would spawn such a thing, you know?
	Such a fervor of people like, you know, that people need to think about the way that they look at and treat black people, you know?
	Yeah, but for the flag and saying that this country is a horrible country, it oppresses people.
	What are you trying to advance there?
	You're also looking at a game where you have black people and white people playing together, black people and white people watching at home in the stands.
	Oh, yeah, nothing brings it.
	Yeah, I'll go to that.
	It brings people together and you wanted to use something to divide people.
	And especially an activity like sports that really brings people together.
	When we talked about how this country is less divided than people would have you believe, that's the kind of stuff that divides people.
	It's like not a place for it.
	If you want to go have a rally or you want to have your activism or whatever, you have to do it in the place where people are getting along and people are coming together over sports and the love of country.
	That's just an American thing and you want to make that about you and your little moment where you hate this country.
	No.
	No, I don't have no time for that.
	Do you think that do you think there's do you have like a is there like an end goal to like because the conflict can just the discussion of conflict can just go on forever.
	Like, do you feel like you have like an end, like a place where it's like, okay, now I'll be happy?
	Well, I think Trump being elected just showed people that there's a lot of power in the forgotten American.
	So that was the first hurdle.
	But now it's just, it's not, I don't ever want to change someone's mind.
	That's not the goal of what I do is to get rid of liberals and make everyone conservative.
	I don't think everyone should be conservative.
	I think there's a nice balance in this country of liberals and conservatives.
	That's how it's always been.
	But the problem is that the liberals started to silence conservatives.
	Conservatives got scared to stand up for their beliefs.
	And then pretty soon you're just being overrun.
	And those are the values.
	The loudest voice in the room is the one that makes the decisions.
	And that's not just in politics, but it's in corporate America.
	It's in everything.
	So you have that one person that says, now anybody who disagrees with me is a racist and a bigot.
	Then pretty soon people just stop saying something and we lose this country.
	It descends into madness.
	So that's the result I want to get is not agreement.
	It's just respecting other people's opinions and for conservatives to just get a backbone, which we did in 2016.
	We're going to again in 2020.
	But it can't just live and die with Trump.
	You can't just have Trump.
	Eventually he's going to be gone and we're going to need somebody else that's going to be able to rile people up, but it shouldn't just be that one person.
	If you're a liberal, I don't care.
	I talk to the liberals all the time.
	I have a lot of friends who are liberals, don't agree with me on a lot of things.
	I have a lot of conservatives who don't agree with me on a lot of my beliefs.
	We can still talk.
	But until we get to that place, my job isn't done.
	So you just got to get pissed off about it.
	And they're not going to take my guns, tell you that.
	I know, I know, I know.
	You said that.
	I know that.
	I know that you think that.
	I know that.
	No, they'll never take anybody's guns.
	I mean, there's just too many fucking guns.
	You could never get all the guns, dude.
	Even if you tried to go door to door and get 70 guns, it would take you probably a year.
	Yeah.
	Two years maybe to get 70 guns.
	And there's hundreds of millions of guns.
	Can you do any dance moves or not?
	Can you do any?
	I can, yeah, I'm not going to do them right now.
	No, I don't want you to do that.
	You can?
	I like rap music.
	I tell you this.
	Yeah, I do.
	There's a different.
	Did you used to ever go to the club?
	I went to school in Vegas.
	Did you ever date any black guys in Vegas or no?
	No, because I dated that baseball player.
	And then I dated a Mormon after that.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's pretty.
	Yeah.
	What does this guy have, Nick?
	Hey, Tommy.
	Hey, Theo.
	Hope you guys are doing well.
	So my question is, from what I see on the internet, there's a lot of hate surrounded with Tommy's name and just in general, a lot of racist comments about her, a lot of just horrible things said about her.
	And I just wanted to know, how do you deal with that?
	Like, how do you deal with all this negativity and continue to put out content and be just a positive person?
	Thank you.
	Okay, bro.
	That was nice.
	Yeah.
	Nice young man there.
	Seemed like a nice man.
	He has a hand.
	You can see his hand in the video.
	Yeah.
	There's at least one hand.
	Wayne, responding to his question, I don't really care what people think about me that I don't have respect for.
	If they say nasty things, I just don't have respect for it.
	So why would I let that bother me?
	Like, if I was going to let everything that people called me and said about me bother me, I wouldn't do what I do.
	I'd live in a hole.
	Yeah.
	Now when you bring it up, I got all these, the game went after me.
	You know, the game, the old rapper, the game.
	Right, but also you're kind of an easy target, right?
	Yeah, I mean, I think that's an easy win for them.
	Yeah, it's an easy win.
	It's an easy win.
	But who really wins?
	Right.
	Nobody.
	Nobody.
	Nobody ever wins in a Twitter war.
	First of all, ever.
	I mean, Twitter is most of Twitter is fucking people I think who are not even working and just definitely not working.
	They're definitely not working.
	It's absolutely become unbelievable how, yeah.
	But people that, that's why I worry about the younger generation because they get all their validation off of Instagram and the things that people say about them or don't say about them.
	Right.
	So it's more what people think of how you are.
	It's more about the idea than it is about the reality.
	Yeah, people will go places, and I'm sure you see it all the time too.
	They're there just for the Instagram photo or they're there just to say they were there, but they're not really there.
	They don't even really want to be there.
	They're doing things to get likes and validation.
	If they don't get that, then they feel like they're less of a person.
	That's we're getting into a real bad spot with young people in social media.
	Well, just because it's so like, at that point, you're just a victim of kind of whatever, as long as you're going to look a certain way.
	As long as everybody looks a certain way, it almost becomes like that black mirror episode where It was like as long as you behaved a certain way to people, then they liked you and it reflected like an actual social score that you kept and you had to keep a certain level.
	Yeah, so people are not being themselves.
	So that's another thing I want to inspire.
	I think you do that a lot too.
	That's why you have the fan base that you have: you inspire people to just be yourself, whatever that is, just be that.
	And if they don't like it, do you really care?
	I mean, do I really care what these people say or think about me?
	No, it doesn't really affect me.
	Yeah.
	They don't, as long as they're not paying my bills, it doesn't really affect me what they think about me or what they say about me.
	It's like they're taking the time out of their day to say something nasty.
	Yeah, that kind of sucks for dick.
	Yeah, some of that shit's just fucking like, get a life.
	Don't you feel like you kind of won when people say that?
	It's like you took, I say, sometimes I respond to people on my Instagram.
	They'll say, you're, you're this, or you're so irrelevant.
	It's like you came on my page.
	You looked at my picture and you went to comment.
	You took time out of your life to say something about me.
	Clearly, I'm getting to you in some way.
	So I win.
	I still won.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I think it's interesting.
	Like, yeah, some girl messaged me and she's like, oh, I can't communicate with you if these are the type of guests you're going to have on, you know?
	And it just made me feel like, oh, that's so, I just felt bad for her, you know, kind of.
	It just felt like.
	I don't know.
	It's kind of scary how.
	I don't know.
	It's scary how like it's so easy for us to just like what we like and also just to get served only that by like algorithms and stuff now.
	It's like you can stay in a world where you never know anything else exists.
	You know, like you can be a New England Patriots fan and you've clicked on a couple of things, a sweatshirt or something you think about buying.
	And next thing you know, your Facebook feed for the rest of your life is just, you think everything's about Julian Edelman.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like the entire world because that's what they're feeding you.
	You know, so it's really, I mean, it makes sense kind of how people are just really kind of one way or the other these days, or a lot of people are, because that's all they're getting fed.
	People also feel more comfortable when they can put somebody in a box.
	Same thing with me and coming out and saying what I did about being pro-choice.
	Like, well, we thought you were conservative and now you're saying something that doesn't fit the mold.
	Get back in your box.
	That makes people really uncomfortable when you're just a free thinker and you just do what you want to do and you think the way you actually think.
	People don't like that.
	It's like, you got to be here.
	You got to be here.
	Do you think, but do you think like moving forward that we're headed towards having hopefully more political parties, having things be a little bit more diverse in that space?
	Like it's got, it's a little crazy to think with how things aren't just one way or the other a lot of times, that there should be more options that are real options, you know?
	But I think you have that with the individual.
	The thing that I worry about, people say we need more of a party system.
	Well, they have the same thing.
	They have that in Europe.
	It doesn't necessarily change things.
	It just makes elections more complicated.
	But people are so lazy now that they don't even research things as it is.
	Can you imagine if we actually had to take the time to research multiple parties with multiple candidates and try to make a majority?
	People just need to, it's easy to say that people just need to be more active in what they're voting for and learning and stop trying to please people.
	Just do what you think is right.
	Yeah.
	And I think less government, I don't think there's a person out there that thinks, I think government should be bigger and control more of what we do.
	It's scary.
	I don't think that, whether you agree with all the tenets of conservatism or Donald Trump, you don't have to.
	I don't.
	But I think we can agree that we know how to best spend our money better than the government, better than people in D.C. Well, yeah, I mean, the government, look at even the national debt.
	I mean, the government hasn't done the best fucking job.
	That's why sometimes when, you know, when they appeal to like poor people or something like, we're going to help you and stuff, it's like, you guys have been saying this forever.
	And it just, I don't know.
	I think it's interesting to see when people go against the norm, you know, to try and, that's why, that's one reason why I think Kanye is interesting because he's just, you know, I don't really know where his political views lie, really, but he's trying to buck the system.
	He might be a psychopath as well, but he's trying to be fucking as brave as you can be.
	The easiest thing to be is exactly what is most comfortable.
	Yeah, no, I think we all need to get out of the box.
	Don't let anyone get you in there.
	We all need to be Tommy Larin and move to Los Angeles.
	This is a good one to end on.
	Here's one question to end on, and we're getting out of here.
	What's up, guys?
	This is Alan calling in from New York.
	I got a question for you, Tommy.
	I know you got some strong viewpoints that get people pretty riled up.
	I was just wondering your thoughts on Baby Billy running through the house with the pickle in his mouth.
	Oh, that's Righteous Gemstones.
	Have you seen that?
	No.
	What?
	No, I didn't quite hear what he even said.
	What can you say?
	Running through the house with the pickle in his mouth, Baby Billy.
	Can you bring up a picture of Uncle Baby Billy?
	You haven't seen The Righteous Gemstones?
	No.
	Oh, you would love it.
	It's a great pickle.
	I like pickles, though.
	You do?
	Yeah.
	Oh, damn.
	Big pickle fan.
	You are?
	Yeah.
	It's a great food.
	Really?
	There's no calories in a pickle.
	Did you know that?
	Yeah, man.
	Where would they put a calorie in there?
	If you open a pickle up, there's no place even for a calorie in it.
	That's Uncle Baby Billy right there.
	Come on.
	He's one of a kind, dude.
	He's probably one of the top six or 700 men that's ever been alive.
	I'll have to look into that.
	Oh, yeah.
	You would love this guy.
	Yeah, the show is called Righteous Gemstones.
	Yeah, I'll take a look at that.
	It's really good.
	All the people that sent me a business.
	Did you play soccer growing up?
	No, soccer is a communist sport.
	It is.
	Well, it is one of those sports.
	Every time you hear about a sport where people got killed after the game because they lost, it's always soccer, bro.
	It's never something else.
	It's also like a really fragile sport.
	Yeah, I think it's a very fragile sport.
	Don't you think?
	Yeah, I feel like if you bump into the guy, they call a foul.
	Yeah, I don't think it's a man sport.
	It just doesn't seem very manly to me at all.
	No, I've never been a fan of soccer.
	I think it's, yeah, it's, it's boring.
	You know, growing up, if you have to have a sport where there's not actual bleachers, you got to bring your own chair.
	There's already a problem.
	Think about it.
	You see those parents, especially in South Dakota, you see parents sitting out there in their unfoldable chairs, like freezing, watching their kid.
	Yeah, pretending like their kid's fucking good, dude.
	And they're thinking of another soccer game.
	Yeah.
	No.
	That's hilarious.
	Tommy Lairn, thank you so much for coming thanks for having me hopefully you don't get too much shit yeah no i mean i have no idea you know like uh we have all kind of people in here and you're welcome back we're gonna go to the border oh yeah it's true homie you're gonna have morgan wallen on too i haven't had morgan wallen on yeah dude yeah you're like the student council president you're like look some of this yeah we just do this yeah i just you're gonna pay me a little bit i'm a capitalist end of the day the rev share deal here okay i'll bring you a lot of good people yeah yeah okay i'll
