Comedy Cellar. Because he's one of

1:08

the guys that just fucking goes for it. Yeah,

1:11

1:13

gotten him in a lot of trouble. It

1:16

all comes out in the wash though, right? Well

1:19

if you're talented, yeah. Yeah.

1:22

And he's definitely talented. He's a wild boy. I

1:24

watch the crowd when he's on. Because

1:26

I like to see the crowd just slowly kind of, he's

1:29

working through stuff. He gets messy. I like that.

1:32

Yeah. They put me and him on at

1:34

the late, late shows now. In the

1:36

Cellar? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What

1:39

is New York scene like these days? Well,

1:43

I'm here now. We'll say that. With

1:46

an American flag out on it. This

1:50

is what it does to you man. Dude,

1:52

before I moved here, I was a 60 year old

1:54

Jamaican woman. Look what Texas does to you. It gets

1:56

you in its bones. It's just a fun thing to

1:58

be. Be a Texan someone's the

2:01

other day on the street said goes you'll got Kid

2:03

Rock fuck Zack elephant a kiss I was like that

2:06

that works. Yeah that tracks How

2:11

long you been down here now like two

2:13

weeks wow it's like a dream this has

2:15

been a weird including this It's all a

2:17

weird dream. How long you been doing stand-up now?

2:20

I? Mean I got on

2:22

stage when I was 17 or

2:24

18 in high school started doing improv and

2:26

stand up on stage Almost 20 years oh

2:28

wow and then I went to college. Yeah.

2:30

Yeah, yeah, I was so I was failing

2:32

on a high school I

2:34

needed like a B to pass and

2:37

I was friends with the acting teacher. We

2:39

would drink together I'm

2:41

a brother public school Wow yeah, we

2:43

would drink together and smoke and I

2:46

thought if I take his class He's got to give me an A or

2:48

I can get him sent to jail probably for all this bad behavior and

2:52

and I so I took this acting class and And

2:56

I got on stage and he pulls me aside

2:58

like day one he goes this is what you need to do

3:00

with your life Why okay,

3:02

okay? Stop drinking stop smoking.

3:04

I was like in a gang I

3:08

was growing we yeah I was a nightmare kid

3:11

People think I'm just this nice little guy

3:13

I was a fucking monster and getting on stage,

3:15

and I got all that energy out and It's

3:19

what I've been doing every day since wow Yeah That's

3:22

cool that someone recognized that because most

3:25

of the time they takes one person

3:27

yeah, same It takes

3:29

one person and you know that

3:31

one person literally can change your life because you're

3:33

in this Part of your

3:35

life where you're not you don't know what the fuck you're

3:37

gonna do Oh, and then someone gives you a direction and

3:39

they say hey You're really good

3:42

at this. This is your thing that oh

3:44

my god I found my thing that day

3:46

you go home. You're like I

3:48

found my thing yeah, he had us First

3:51

class we had to dance on stage He

3:54

was like he goes you're gonna fuck. Oh,

3:56

he was wild he was a playwright. He'd

3:58

take the Metro North and from Connecticut, New

4:00

Haven to put on little plays.

4:03

And I just thought it was the sexiest thing. It was

4:05

like this guy was living in the 1920s or something. Like

4:08

a real artist. Yeah, yeah. And

4:10

he goes, we're gonna humiliate ourselves

4:12

day one. He goes, it's

4:14

gonna be so bad, so everything you do after

4:16

this is gonna be a breeze. And

4:20

I've still used that to this day with

4:22

stand up. You gotta get messy. You gotta,

4:24

so he said, we're gonna go do the

4:26

silliest dances when I went home, I was

4:28

practicing in the bathroom, just

4:30

sweating, turn around. I've never performed. And

4:33

I'd get on stage and be like sillier, weirder,

4:35

weirder, until you just had a

4:38

mental breakdown. And then after that, doing

4:40

a little Shakespeare was fine.

4:43

Oh, that's an interesting strategy. Yeah. That

4:45

makes sense. He makes someone break you down and go, you're allowed

4:47

to fuck up. You're allowed to get messy. And

4:50

that's why I got a place here, because I went

4:52

to your club and I saw Brian

4:55

Holtzman and I go, wait

4:57

a minute, you're allowed to do this? There's

5:00

a place where you're allowed to

5:02

say whatever you want? Well, Brian

5:04

Holtzman was like a hero of

5:06

comedians in Los Angeles, but

5:08

he didn't get good

5:10

spots, unfortunately. They would put

5:13

him on really late at the end of the show.

5:16

And it was a wild thing to watch. You know, you

5:18

watch like 20, 30 people in the audience, this guy's saying

5:20

the most hilarious, but yet horrific things.

5:24

And he just never got the

5:26

respect that he deserves. I've known Brian

5:28

for, I guess around 30 years

5:31

now. When

5:33

we first started at the store, we

5:35

were like young hotshots. He

5:37

was like this young,

5:40

dark-haired, slick back, like

5:42

really interesting guy. Like really,

5:45

like same style that

5:47

he has now he had back then. I can't imagine

5:49

him with any more energy than he has now though.

5:52

It was the same. As a young guy. Oh, his

5:54

energy has not waned at all, which is why he's

5:56

so good. You know, like

5:58

some people slowed down. It sucks.

6:01

It sucks to see yeah, you know cuz

6:03

they slow down you like you

6:05

don't want to say anything to them You know like hey, man.

6:07

You gotta pick it up. Yeah, whatever the fuck you used to

6:10

be you gotta bring that back It's just turn it up a

6:12

little bit. Yeah, you're a little too Casual

6:15

up there. I won't say lazy, but

6:17

there's you know there's like you're too tired. Yeah,

6:19

you gotta fire the fuck up Holzman

6:21

never lost that that kind

6:23

of that You

6:25

know that fucking crazy gets crazy, but

6:29

he didn't have a show like a real

6:31

showcase He didn't have like a real you

6:33

know like a real awesome

6:35

spot Where he

6:37

could perform in front of crowds that weren't

6:39

tired and hadn't seen three hours of comedy

6:41

But so now we've got him headlining yeah,

6:43

you know and and people come to see

6:45

him They know yes, they get excited people

6:47

have seen him multiple times. Yeah cult following

6:49

here. It's great. Definitely does yeah So that

6:51

was it. I saw him once and then

6:53

I was I went to like the open

6:55

7:06

spots then did a guest spot on Holtzman show and

7:08

7:13

just called the guy go hey can I move there

7:15

7:40

8:16

gotta fuck up a lot and they go

8:18

fuck up a little less this time Yeah,

8:20

there's the fuck up there, but it's also

8:22

just like taking chances going for things. It's

8:24

very important every time I've ever done it.

8:26

It's been good my whole life every single

8:29

time whether it's first time going on stage You

8:32

10:25

I was telling you before this

10:27

this mayoral race in San Francisco?

10:30

This might be the end This

10:33

this might be like San Francisco

10:35

is a failed city I mean

10:38

it really is but this there's no better

10:41

Indication of how failed it is than listening

10:43

to this debate Listening to

10:45

these people argue about what's important in

10:47

San Francisco. This was on the Jesse

10:49

Waters show you gotta listen to

10:51

this Cuz how many drag queens do you know?

10:55

You were at the debate

10:57

last week and couldn't name Any

11:00

drag queens on your own? I was

11:02

wondering if you This

11:06

is an opportunity to redeem yourself And

11:09

if you could name three

11:11

LGBTQ advisors for your campaign

11:13

and three drag queens Just

11:21

Imagine the fuck and that was the thing

11:23

she's gonna sit down on this is the

11:25

actual current mayor of San

11:27

Francisco London breed that's

11:30

her right. Yeah, and she's like,

11:32

can you name three drag queens?

11:35

Can you name three mentally ill

11:38

men who address up like the

11:40

most? Tardish Caricatures

11:43

11:45

11:47

hour down Lexus

11:51

does the burlesque show. What the fuck

11:53

are you talking about? Yeah, now sit

11:55

back and enjoy this is sit

11:58

back and enjoy the show when woke Wokeism

12:01

just takes on this energy

12:03

and it gets crazier and crazier. I

12:05

mean look at the sexuality

12:08

acronym. It used to be gay and

12:10

lesbian. G-O. It

12:12

is, watching politicians have to recite that.

12:15

Oh, it's like the gun to their head. Trudeau

12:18

has them all down. But my

12:20

favorite is 2-A-I plus. House

12:26

is like everybody's in this gang that's

12:28

not a white male. It's basically everything.

12:31

You mean the American flag? That would

12:33

be a great flag to represent everybody.

12:35

Biracial people of color. There's so many

12:38

different things. Indigenous, there's

12:41

two spirits in there, which is my

12:43

favorite. I'm a two spirit. What the

12:45

fuck are you? Why not three? Why

12:48

not four? Why not 45? You're

12:50

limiting yourself. And then

12:52

A, which is hilarious too. How

12:55

do they have any say? They're asexual.

12:57

Asexual. How are they in there with the

12:59

perverts? How are they in there

13:01

with the freaks? How are they in there

13:03

with the transgender people? How are they in

13:05

there with fucking guys wearing leather thongs and

13:07

G-strings walking down the street with a black

13:09

flag? We don't want any part of this.

13:11

How are the As in that? They

13:14

just don't want to fuck. My friend came

13:17

out as bisexual, this guy in New York.

13:20

He goes, I've been so oppressed. Am I

13:22

supposed to feel bad that you get to fuck everybody? Really?

13:25

Just like, uh-uh. He's been oppressed. How

13:27

so? I don't know. I

13:30

don't know. It's a fun thing to say. It's

13:33

a fun thing to say. Yeah. And

13:35

it also gives you a position where people have

13:37

to go, oh my God, I'm so sorry. What

13:39

did I do? George

13:41

Bush was talking about pride the other

13:43

day. I was like, if

13:46

he was... The obvious? Yeah. He

13:48

was on some interview. And I was like, if

13:50

he was president today, having to... You

13:53

know, the LMAFOs, the

13:56

HGTVs, the PB&Js,

13:58

these are tasty folks. You know, my

14:01

cousins are translucent. Now

14:03

watch this drive. But think about how much

14:05

has changed since him. Well, he

14:07

is so reasonable now in comparison. I

14:09

used to have a joke about

14:13

Bush getting elected about the Iraq War

14:15

and that there's people in the back of the room. And

14:18

their idea was the

14:20

only way to find out how dumb people really are

14:23

is to have a dumb president and see if everybody

14:25

freaks out. Because the only

14:27

way they know that he's dumb is if they're

14:29

smarter than him. So the only way

14:31

to find out is put a dumb president and see how

14:33

everybody responds. And then it was all about

14:36

the Iraq War and all these things happened, like what they

14:38

believed and what they didn't. And then at the end of

14:40

it, I go, I think the people in the back of

14:42

the room were going, I think we can

14:44

go dumber. And

14:46

they were right. They were so right. Well,

14:48

people act like Trump and Biden are the

14:50

first, like, we had an

14:52

autistic cowboy running the country for eight years. We

14:55

wanted eight years of that. Yeah.

14:58

Yeah. But people didn't want it at the end,

15:00

which is why Obama won. Which

15:02

is what this country always does. We swing

15:04

hard one way and then we swing the other way. And

15:08

Duncan Trussell said this when they were

15:10

smashing windows and looting during the George

15:12

Floyd protests. Duncan said,

15:14

dude, this is going to be so bad

15:16

because we're going to have a right wing

15:18

authoritarian president next. And

15:22

I thought about it. I was like, goddamn,

15:24

he's probably right. Because that's really what happens.

15:26

There's like an over correction one way.

15:30

Like the San Francisco London

15:32

breed mayor thing, this is

15:34

an over correction to discrimination.

15:37

So there is some discrimination of gay

15:39

people. There's discrimination of all kinds of

15:42

people. How now though? Well, there's still

15:44

with gay people for sure. There's still

15:46

people that are homophobic, especially religious people.

15:49

It's too complicated now because it's like,

15:51

well, there's that. And then there's gay guys who dress

15:54

up as women who want to read to kids. And

15:56

then there's those who cut their dicks. It's too. My

15:59

dad. came out of the closet when I was seven. So

16:01

I was raised in this stuff. Came

16:04

out as racist, but he, no he's gay. I got

16:06

a gay dad, I have two dad, mom, remarried

16:10

and then my dad with a husband. And

16:12

so it's funny, I try to talk

16:14

about this, like oh shut up straight white guy, this

16:17

isn't your lived experience. I'm like no it is, it

16:19

is. Do you say

16:22

this on stage? Do you talk about it on stage? I

16:24

talk about it everywhere. Yeah, people started booing me when I

16:26

started talking about this in New York City a long time

16:28

ago. It was the first time where I talked about my

16:30

personal life because I have a crazy, everyone has a crazy

16:32

life. What were they booing? Well they're just

16:35

like you can't talk, you can't talk about, that's

16:38

their life. You can't talk about what it's like

16:40

to be a gay person. And it's like when

16:43

I was seven, I was hiding it from my

16:45

friends. So I was living like a closeted gay

16:47

guy. I

16:50

went to insane lengths to hide my

16:52

dad having a boyfriend because back, this was

16:55

1993. That's

16:57

when it was, and prior, that's when

17:00

it was bad. But I

17:02

imagine what guys like that think of what's going

17:04

on now. To be like

17:06

you're like a two-spirit, hetero, whatever

17:09

this shit is. And back then

17:11

it was bad. When

17:14

I was in middle school, my friend Josh,

17:17

his mom was gay and he didn't tell

17:19

us. And nobody talked

17:21

about it but I.

17:23

Lesbian mom's a little cooler though. She

17:26

had the whole thing. She was wearing the sleeveless

17:28

vest with the big arms. She

17:30

was a big lady and she had a girlfriend with short

17:32

hair that was always over the house. It was like the

17:34

whole, you'd go who's that lady? Oh

17:37

that's my mom's friend. Why is she always over here?

17:39

Did she live with you? That's exactly what happened. It

17:41

was one of them things. But I

17:43

lived in San Francisco. And so

17:45

when I moved to Boston, I moved to Florida for

17:47

a few years then we moved to Boston. I had

17:49

been around gay people from the time I was seven

17:52

to 11, my neighbors were gay, my

17:54

aunt used to go over and play bongos

17:56

with them naked. They would smoke pot and

17:58

play bongos. I was like, I'm just.

18:01

Way cooler. Yeah, I mean, she just loved the fact she could

18:03

just be naked around guys and no one cared. But

18:05

it was just this thing where like the whole

18:07

neighborhood was gay. Everybody was gay. Everybody. So

18:10

gay was super normal to me. I did, but

18:13

some of my friend was like hiding the fact

18:15

that his mom was gay. You

18:18

know, we never really pressed him on it, but

18:20

me and my other friend were like, hmm, his

18:22

mom's gay, right? Like, yeah, yeah, obviously. But yeah,

18:24

we were 13. Like,

18:26

what are you gonna do? For men, I

18:28

think it was associated with AIDS. So

18:31

I remember I was in the car and, you know,

18:34

we would like raise money for AIDS runs

18:36

and all this stuff and my friend's like,

18:38

that's the AIDS thing, right? And

18:41

I would tell him, my dad's an attorney, I would tell him,

18:43

because he goes, this is my partner. And

18:45

I would tell my friends, they go, why

18:47

is your dad's partner sleeping? That's his law

18:49

partner. I go, they're working on a case.

18:52

They're gonna be up all night, fellas. You know,

18:54

if you hear some banging and moaning and see

18:56

they're recreating the murder, they're in there.

18:58

I would come up with this. It's probably why

19:00

I'm a good writer, because back then

19:02

it was not accepted at all. When did

19:04

everybody figure it out? I

19:07

never told anybody. Wow. Yeah, I think I

19:09

was in college the first time I told

19:11

somebody, because I was a theater major, so

19:13

it was like, I was safe. Yeah.

19:16

I was the weird one being straight. And it also gives

19:18

you like social props. It does,

19:20

yeah. Street cred. Yeah, I'll take whatever

19:22

I can get now. When you got

19:24

resting January six face, man, you need

19:26

something. Do

19:28

you think you have January six? Well, you do

19:30

with that hat. Resting January six face. Yeah, yeah,

19:32

yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't care. I

19:35

was raised to hate America. All that bullshit, I

19:37

fucking love this country, man. It's a great country.

19:39

I love it. There's no reason to hate America.

19:41

No. We should always hate

19:44

bad behavior in all

19:46

groups of people, left and right.

19:49

Shit, shitty, evil people on

19:51

both sides. That's what we're supposed to hate. We're not supposed

19:53

to hate America. And the history, it's history.

19:55

You gotta honor it. I didn't like the stuff growing

19:57

up with my dad and stuff. I had a lot

19:59

of resentment. about that, but I thought, you know what?

20:03

That was my burden to bear. And

20:05

I have friends who saw my,

20:07

you know, gay was bad back then,

20:09

but they'd see my dad being a

20:11

great dad and cooking us dinner. And

20:14

so their introduction to a

20:16

homosexual was this normal guy. My dad, he

20:18

looks like you. He looks like kind of

20:20

like Bruce Willis and fucking, he's

20:23

just a normal dude. He's not

20:25

a feminine. He doesn't do the like, yeah,

20:27

it's like, you know. Which

20:30

is interesting, right? That there's different

20:32

groups of gay people. We

20:35

associate gay with people who

20:37

behave in a very specific,

20:40

exaggerated way. Yeah. But,

20:42

you know. Well, they're the loudest ones

20:44

on the floats with their dick out and a

20:46

four-year-old's face. Well, that's what's weird. It's

20:48

like, it's not just gay

20:50

pride. It's overtly sexual

20:52

behavior pride, you

20:55

know? Those things should have nothing to do with these.

20:57

They're so different. I know

20:59

so many gay guys that are just like, you

21:01

would never know unless they told you they were

21:03

gay. They just seem like men. Do

21:06

you think people are actually homophobic or

21:08

they're just, they have an issue with

21:10

it getting sort of convoluted

21:13

into this sexual thing that our

21:15

kids are seeing? I

21:17

think people who are homophobic just lack

21:19

nuance. They don't understand that

21:22

there's weird people in every

21:24

group. Would you be

21:26

heterophobic if you found out about

21:29

people that are child molesters? You

21:32

know, like if there was men that

21:34

wanted to date 14-year-old girls and have

21:36

sex with 14-year-old girls, you

21:39

wouldn't be heterophobic because of that. Just

21:41

like you shouldn't be homophobic if there's

21:44

gay men that want to groom

21:46

young boys. It's not

21:48

about the gay. It's about

21:50

assholes. It's about shitty members

21:53

of society and it's about a lot

21:55

of them are people who are victims

21:57

themselves and then they perpetuate

21:59

it again. later in life. It's almost like

22:01

being bitten by a vampire. One

22:03

of the things that happens with all these molested

22:06

guys- That's how you become gay, by the way. Bitten

22:09

by a vampire? Yeah. But a

22:12

lot of these molested guys wind up doing

22:14

it to other kids, which is fucking

22:16

insanely evil. Like, their

22:18

life got destroyed, and then they wound up

22:20

destroying other people's lives. I think it's something

22:23

like 30% become molesters. Crazy. This,

22:25

my priest, and I don't know the backstory on this,

22:27

but he blew his brains out when I was

22:29

eight years old. Jesus, dude. Yeah.

22:32

Seven and eight was rough for you. Seven was dad

22:34

coming out, and then- What

22:37

did the priest do that he wanted to blow his brains

22:39

out? I don't know, but I always- Catholic? I

22:41

always think about it, because I'm like, were

22:44

my blowjobs that bad? You know what I mean? Were

22:46

they that bad? Was it Catholic?

22:49

I don't know what he did. He didn't touch me, because I wasn't

22:51

a part of it. Catholic?

22:53

Methodist. Methodist, interesting. Are they allowed to

22:55

get married? Yeah, I think so. The

22:59

Catholic ones- They allowed them to blow their brains out. He

23:01

did it at the altar. Oh my God. Yeah. In

23:04

front of everybody? Nothing, no. Off

23:07

day, thank God. But I remember going back in the next day,

23:09

and we just had a new guy, and he had a mustache.

23:11

He looked like Ned Flanders, and I'm like, no,

23:13

I can't do this any- Did

23:16

they tell everybody what happened? Yeah.

23:18

Did he leave a note? Give

23:22

me a problem, maybe. I don't know.

23:24

Does anybody know what was wrong? No, I Googled

23:26

it. It's been wiped. I didn't even find the

23:28

story. Oh boy. I know. They're

23:30

good at wiping that. Well, there's a

23:33

horrible thing that people connect

23:35

priests with child molesters. Because

23:39

just like we're talking about other things,

23:41

there's a group of them. Well, I

23:43

wonder if by occupation, if it's

23:46

the most, I can't say for sure, but- It's

23:49

certainly associated the most. It's

23:51

not like NASCAR drivers. Imagine

23:53

if that many NASCAR drivers were molesting

23:55

kids. They'd shut NASCAR down in a

23:57

fucking heartbeat. But meanwhile, go Catholic Church

23:59

gets- That's tax exempt status. They're

24:03

literally guilty of moving people who are molesters

24:05

to another place where they can molest new

24:08

people instead of turn them in. That's

24:10

what Pope Benedict got in trouble for.

24:13

That's one of the reasons why he

24:15

stepped down. Really? Yeah. He

24:17

was responsible for moving this one guy that went

24:19

on to molest 100 deaf kids. Yeah.

24:23

Yeah. They would

24:25

move these people to places where they could

24:27

get away with it instead of turn them

24:29

in. I don't know

24:32

if they gave him counsel. I mean, what the

24:34

fuck? The thing about that particular evil, the

24:36

evil of child molesters, is it doesn't

24:39

seem to be able to be fixed.

24:43

If you were a guy who was

24:46

like a Wolf of

24:48

Wall Street guy, he did a lot of crazy

24:50

shit with the stock market, but then you realize,

24:52

look, I fucked up. I should have never done

24:54

that. I was doing drugs. I fucked up. People

24:58

accept that you're not a thief

25:00

anymore. Yeah. You can go do

25:02

talk shows. You can write a book, and

25:04

people go, wow, that guy, they made a movie

25:07

out of him. Leonardo DiCaprio. Sure. Leonardo

25:09

DiCaprio played him at a fucking movie, and now

25:11

he's out there. He's back. But

25:14

we don't think that way about child

25:16

molesters. If

25:19

you murdered somebody, like I was young, I

25:21

was stupid, I hated that person, I didn't

25:23

think I murdered them. You do

25:25

25 years in jail, you come out. You would

25:27

think that guy's reformed. There's

25:29

no feeling like that ever with child molesters. You

25:31

go out and make Midnight at Paris after that.

25:34

Yes. He

25:37

never went to jail. No, I don't know if he did.

25:39

Well, he did something. I went out with a girl who

25:41

told ... She goes, I feel like I'm hanging out with

25:43

Woody Allen when I'm hanging out with you. I was like,

25:45

I don't know if that was a ... What

25:48

year Woody Allen? Yeah. Yeah,

25:50

it was like any haul? He was like, you're giving

25:52

me an existential crisis. You're not even Asian. I'm trying

25:54

something different. Have you ever listened to his old stand

25:57

up? Yeah, I like it. It's so pervy. Yeah,

25:59

he's very ... Pervy, but it's it's hilarious

26:02

how openly pervy yeah Yeah, and then you have

26:04

to think of the time in which he was

26:06

doing the stand-up. This is a 1960s Yeah,

26:09

so he's doing this like weird Sexuals

26:11

fucking a moose, you know the

26:14

moose had me mounted on the wall. It was

26:16

you know, he's talking about girls Yeah,

26:18

yeah, we talked about girls. I loved girls.

26:20

His voice is so to be

26:23

him, you know You know, he

26:25

really this is really what his voice is, you

26:27

know, and you're a knockout show

26:29

you really are and he's an odd dude

26:31

Yeah, that's just when you're funny though. Yeah,

26:33

you can be that's that's your currency. He's

26:35

an ugly weird-looking guy, but if

26:38

you're funny You that's

26:40

that's what you do. Yeah up until the whole

26:43

Child molesting accusations. Yeah,

26:46

she was a bit of a batshit

26:48

crazy lady I mean, they both of

26:50

them deserve whatever happened. They both deserve

26:52

it She was adopting kids in

26:54

returning them. What? Yeah. Oh, yeah. She returned. No

26:57

all the time. Yeah. Why? Yeah She just bad.

26:59

I like this one, you know, she would get

27:01

like mangled kids and and all these, you know,

27:03

they'd have all these Disabilities

27:06

and stuff and then she would return

27:08

them Wow. Yeah I mean all all

27:11

the kids have come out with different stories, but you

27:14

know Well, if you're they deserve each other

27:16

if you're fostering kids and taking care of

27:18

care kids You're taking care of kids that

27:20

have already experienced like some crazy shit You

27:23

know, so these kids are probably already

27:25

fucked up. I'm didn't speak English. They'd

27:27

bring them in from Different

27:30

countries China and stuff. I didn't speak

27:32

English. They'd be like disabled and

27:34

then Woody Allen's like you want to go for a

27:36

walk? But

27:41

his movies are so good They're

27:43

pretty good. They're not that good. They're not that

27:45

good. But but what I love about

27:48

it It's a different nobody could do

27:50

that now and go I can go go make a

27:52

movie a year you're going I'm gonna see the Rogan

27:54

movie. I'm gonna see the I'm seeing the Shane Gillis

27:56

movie. Did he really make one a year? Yeah, well,

27:58

he made him real cheap didn't pack himself and

28:02

that will never have that again I even remember when

28:04

I was in my teens go I'm seeing the Woody

28:07

Allen movie you didn't even care what it was it's

28:09

like a new comedian special coming out you'd just go

29:36

like germaphobe neurotic guy the pandemic ruined

29:38

29:40

oh I know a few people oh

29:43

god yeah done yeah they're

29:45

not coming back not come that's that

29:47

is a tragedy this is what that's the tragedy

29:49

of our time man yeah there were people that

29:51

were barely hanging on oh yeah

29:53

they were riddled with anxiety yeah

29:56

I was one of them but but it was more

29:58

because I because I didn't get the vaccine and

30:00

couldn't take part in society. That was a

30:02

fun little experiment we did that we're just

30:04

going to pretend like never happened. Yeah,

30:07

that was an interesting thing. Interesting

30:09

little thing, yeah. We had segregation

30:11

in this country based on medicine

30:13

and then we're back to pretending

30:15

like it never fucking happened. At

30:17

least now they're having hearings on

30:19

it. Yeah, nine years later, Fauci

30:21

was on TV the other day going, you

30:24

know, it could have come from the lab.

30:26

It may have been a leak. I want

30:28

to stay open minded and unseen. And they're

30:30

like, oh, okay. Like, what? Did you see

30:33

all that leaked stuff coming out of his

30:35

audio? Yeah. You got to make, make pressure

30:37

people. You got to. Yeah, they'll drop their

30:39

ideological bullshit when they can't work. Dude.

30:42

You've been showing when you make their

30:44

lives difficult, they will drop their ideological

30:46

bullshit. Just give them another booster. Boost

30:48

them up. Imagine saying that about people's

30:50

jobs that you're going to force them

30:53

into making a decision with their own

30:55

body. And not only that, but mandate

30:57

it. And not only that as a

30:59

doctor, know that some people are allergic

31:01

to some of the components,

31:04

some of the actual ingredients in

31:06

these vaccines. Sure. Aaron Rodgers is

31:08

one of them. Yeah. He's allergic to one

31:10

of the chemicals that's in it. You can't take it. And

31:13

some people have immune systems that work pretty

31:15

well and maybe you don't need to start

31:17

jabbing them with experimental stuff.

31:19

I mean. Yeah. It's a wild thing

31:21

that happened. And so many people are

31:23

still defending it because they defended it

31:25

previously. They're not defending it from a

31:28

position of objectivity, like here we are, 2024,

31:31

let's look at the data. No, they're

31:33

defending it from this weird place

31:35

of I defended it three years

31:37

ago and I shamed people three

31:39

years ago and we were right.

31:42

We were right. You were wrong. We were

31:44

right. It saved millions. They always say that.

31:46

Saved millions. Which is, by the way, there's

31:49

no way to tell if that's true. There's

31:51

no way to tell. Because the number of

31:53

people that actually die from COVID is so

31:56

grossly exaggerated. Most people think it's a

31:58

very high number of people that died from COVID. it's

32:00

less than 1%. It's like, was

32:03

it 0.3? Is

32:05

it like one third of 1%? Is that

32:07

what it is? Something like that? I

32:09

don't know one per, I know people do.

32:11

And some people, you know. I know a

32:14

couple of people that died. But it's not

32:16

what, I remember, I was watching CNN. I

32:18

was kind of like a brainwashed woke person

32:20

until the pandemic. Every day

32:22

I was on CNN watching, watching that death ticker,

32:25

that, like the stock market. And

32:27

then when I made my decision not to

32:29

get the vaccine, and I lost almost every

32:31

friend, every job, and

32:34

was called like a far right Trump

32:36

supporter, I go, okay,

32:38

this is, we've never done this before. What

32:41

was your decision? Why'd you decide not to

32:43

take it? Well, I

32:45

mean, I'm not getting something, first of all, it

32:48

wouldn't have been made that, Trump's really

32:51

good at pushing things through regulations very fast.

32:53

If we had any other president, there's no

32:55

way. That's what, whoops, do you

32:57

remember whoops, Joe, right, nobody can do that,

32:59

I call it warp speed. Edison

33:02

couldn't do it with lightning speed, but I did

33:04

warp speed, I made it. They said, sure, it'll

33:06

take 15 years, I made it in two days.

33:08

He's bragging about how quick he did it. And

33:11

I'm like, I'm not gonna fucking get that.

33:13

I'm young, I'm healthy, I had COVID, I

33:15

had natural immunity, I was doing what everybody

33:17

has done throughout history. Right, you already had

33:19

COVID, which is really important. Yeah, so why

33:21

risk that? And what was the, what

33:24

version of COVID did you have the earliest one? I

33:26

had the first, the first, the OG,

33:28

the original. And how bad was it

33:30

for you? It was, it was like,

33:32

I get the flu every year, I'm tiny,

33:34

I'm a sickly person, you know? I'm

33:37

allergic to fucking cigarettes. Can I get one of

33:39

those fucking days? Yeah, I did, why not? I

33:42

quit smoking when I was 12, but. But you smoked a cigar? I

33:45

started when I was 10. Oh, okay.

33:47

Yeah, 10 to 21, I smoked for 11 years. Nice.

33:50

So let's start now. Sorry, I would've

33:52

invited you. No, it's fine, it's fine,

33:54

I just, goddamn. How did I

33:56

know that you had quit cigarettes? Nah, you wouldn't

33:58

know that. I think somebody

34:00

brought it up. Well, I put

34:02

up a sign when I was filming the special

34:05

that like a no smoking sign. Pull that down.

34:07

Oh yeah. A no smoking

34:09

sign. Like a Marx brother when I fucking. Well,

34:12

I had a, when I was filming the special

34:14

last week and we were live editing it. So

34:16

I put up a no smoking sign in the green room

34:18

because I had all these, I had all this camera crew

34:21

and stuff in there. What

34:24

do you hit this thing? The other side. The

34:27

top that's flipped the way I handed it to, turn it towards

34:29

you, turn it towards you. No, no, no, the other way. You

34:32

see that? That's the top. Right there. And you pulled

34:34

that thing down. That's it, there you go. But you

34:36

got it backwards. You should do it the other way

34:38

so you can see what you're doing. Oh, like this?

34:40

Yeah, there you go. This is a company

34:42

of errors. Oh, I was good at this when I was 12. Where?

34:46

Oh yeah. I used to steal cigars. I was in like

34:48

a skateboard gang and I was so small, they'd send me

34:50

under the counter and I would

34:52

steal like thousands of dollars of cigars. Under

34:55

counters? Yeah, I'd sneak under the counter of a

34:58

drug store. Because I was so small. And

35:01

then I'd come out with, and we would sell them on

35:03

the street. Your gang

35:05

sold stolen cigars? Sold stolen cigars and

35:07

we grew weed in my backyard. Yeah,

35:09

yeah. It was a real, it was

35:11

a gang. I mean, somebody stole our

35:13

weed once, we went and flipped their

35:15

car over and burnt it. Wow.

35:18

Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, yeah. So that's the

35:20

privilege of growing up in Connecticut. It

35:22

was a privilege. What part of Connecticut?

35:24

New Haven. Oh, I know New Haven.

35:26

It's called Gunblazing. Everyone's like, oh, you're

35:28

so privileged. It was a, you know.

35:30

Good, New Haven's a sketchy place. Sketchy,

35:32

yeah, we hear gunshots every night. Every

35:34

single night. I used to do the

35:36

Joker's Wild Comedy Club in New Haven.

35:38

You did? Yeah. Oh yeah. Is

35:41

that still around? I don't know, it's where I did

35:43

my first open mic. No shit, you did your first

35:45

open mic there? Wow, yeah.

35:47

Actually no, first one was

35:50

the cafeteria at college. Yeah,

35:54

I was in a play. I was playing George Bush.

35:57

That's the first acting role I ever did. Stuff happens.

36:00

about that play? No. Stuff happens. It

36:02

was in the West End in London.

36:04

It was all actual quotes from

36:07

George Bush and his administration, the

36:09

whole thing. And it's fucking

36:11

amazing. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

36:14

The war and terror. Weapons

36:16

of mass destruction. All the whole, the way

36:19

they, it was almost like the pandemic, the

36:21

way they scared people. Weapons

36:23

of mass destruction. We gotta take them out.

36:25

We gotta do what we gotta do. And

36:28

we went in there and

36:30

what came of that? Yeah. Biden

36:33

pulling out, leaving billions of dollars of

36:37

shit behind. Yeah. If you just compared

36:40

Biden to George Bush, George Bush looks like

36:42

a fucking Rhodes Scholar. Yeah. Shakespeare. That's crazy.

36:44

We thought that he was an idiot. We

36:47

thought, God, it came up to such an embarrassment

36:49

that that guy is the president. Yeah.

36:51

And now look at the new choices we

36:53

have. You're like, yo, Bush

36:56

would be like the wise choice at

36:58

this point. Yeah.

37:00

You know? Oh yeah. Did

37:03

you ever watch the clip when they're like asking

37:05

them, I think about Bin Laden or something? So

37:08

I go, we're going to find Bin Laden, but

37:10

first watch this drive. Watch

37:12

this drive. Yeah. I watch that every day.

37:14

It was a good drive. Yeah. And it

37:16

was a way of keeping people calm and

37:18

like, he's so American. He just is. We're

37:21

dumb. We're fucking stupid. Yeah. He's a transport

37:23

to Texas. You know, they're from Maine. He

37:25

was born in New Haven, you know that.

37:27

Wasn't really. And he denies it. He did

37:30

not. The bridge that goes into New Haven is

37:32

the George W. Bush Bridge and he

37:34

denies. He was born in Yale New Haven hospital. Wait

37:36

a minute. Why would he lie about that? Because he

37:38

wants to be Texas, you know, red,

37:40

white and blue. I believe it. But he knows they're

37:42

from Kennebunkport, Maine. Born

37:44

in New Haven. Really? Oh yeah. Interesting. They're

37:46

like, yeah, we're naming the bridge after it.

37:49

Is an American politician. Hey baby, New Haven.

37:51

Yeah. New Haven, Connecticut. So at one point

37:53

in time he was hiding this. Is that

37:56

what it is? Isn't that funny?

37:58

He's younger than both fucking Trump and. Biden.

38:02

He's Jesus Christ. He hasn't

38:04

been the president in like 20 fucking

38:06

years. That's so crazy. He's younger

38:08

than both of them. That's

38:10

so nuts. Look at

38:12

that. That is so crazy. That's so nuts. I

38:15

would vote for him for a third term. A

38:17

hundred percent. In a second. Come

38:19

on back, George. Yeah. We need a

38:21

laugh, buddy. And bring that Darth Vader fucking

38:23

fake heart motherfucker with you. Yeah,

38:25

Dick Cheney. Yeah. Is he still

38:27

alive? Yeah, he's literally in the Bible. He

38:30

had no pulse at one point in time. No

38:34

pulse. Because he had an artificial heart

38:36

put in while they were waiting

38:38

to put a replacement heart in. Oh, that's

38:40

right. It had an artificial pump put in.

38:42

So this pump continually circulated blood. It didn't

38:44

have a pulse. So he had no

38:46

pulse. Tell me that's not in the Bible. Isn't that in

38:48

the Bible? Oh my God. I don't know. I haven't read

38:50

the whole Bible. Maybe you heard my priest blew his brains

38:52

out when I was eight. I kind of stopped reading. But

38:54

I mean, if you're gonna have like a

38:57

demon incarnate. God

38:59

damn. You probably have no pulse.

39:01

I would imagine. Watching

39:03

Biden, like when

39:05

he freezes up now. Oh yeah, that's crazy.

39:07

You think he's gone, man. Well, he's gonna

39:10

go. But also he's freezing

39:12

up, medicated to the tits.

39:14

Like whatever they're doing to keep him alive.

39:17

IV, vitamin transfusions and

39:19

fucking hormones and amphetamines,

39:22

whatever they're doing. I don't know what they're doing.

39:24

Neutropics, I don't know what they're doing. He could

39:26

be the first president to be assassinated by time.

39:29

I mean, I just. He's not gonna make it. I

39:32

just can't believe they're running him. It doesn't even make sense. The

39:34

more he flails about in these

39:36

speeches, the more he fucks up and almost

39:39

like he feels like he doesn't want to

39:41

do it. So he's trying to get out of it.

39:43

You're not really saying this didn't happen? This did

39:45

not happen. White House denies, claims Biden

39:47

froze at fundraiser event. They're calling him

39:50

cheap fakes now. But

39:52

wait a minute. There's a video of

39:54

the show where, look, I don't think

39:56

that's a big deal. The thing's over.

39:59

He gets led off. the stage like who cares that's

40:02

nothing some of the other stuff

40:04

like who was that one where he was like yelling

40:06

at people like completely just yelling

40:09

with a big

40:11

smile on his face he always does that

40:13

yeah but this was a wild one that's

40:15

just him walking off with Joe Biden with

40:17

Obama like who cares that doesn't I think

40:19

it was the like he gave him a

40:21

little pinch on the arm like you do

40:23

to your grandma let's go he's just looking

40:25

out at the crowd which is odd he

40:27

does look frozen though yeah yeah he's frozen

40:30

yeah but whatever yeah that's the least

40:32

of the things that are wrong the

40:34

thing of you've you seen the video

40:36

of him yelling Jamie there's

40:39

this crazy video he's

40:42

like someone says something to

40:44

him and he yells something back but it's

40:46

literally no words and then he has

40:48

a big smile on his face he yells and then he

40:50

does that whisper like well we're very very sure

40:57

it's hard to believe it's real it's

40:59

hard it's almost like we're being punked by China oh

41:03

they yeah they definitely doing that they're definitely doing

41:07

that go but was a bit of a

41:09

punk a little bit a little yeah yeah

41:11

minor worldwide punk that

41:14

we funded that we farther yeah

41:16

our tax dollars I about

41:20

reparations for everybody who got fired for not

41:22

getting the COVID vaccine I think everyone should

41:24

get a fat check hundred

41:26

thousand dollars that's not a bad idea

41:28

it's not even enough how many people

41:30

lost their fucking job people it's destroyed

41:33

people this isn't it well we hear

41:35

this though we hear with this one

41:37

is Donald Trump when

41:39

he was commander in chief refused

41:42

to visit a cemetery US cemetery

41:44

outside of Paris for

41:46

fallen American soldiers and

41:49

he referred to those heroes and I

41:51

quote as suckers and losers he

41:54

actually said that oh he said that

41:56

how dare he said that how

41:58

dare you talk about my son and all about stress

42:00

like that. What?

42:03

How dare you? Sweet

42:06

old man, though. Yeah. Is

42:08

that how his son died? Why is he saying

42:10

his son? His son, the death

42:12

of his son changes by the day. It's

42:15

like. But what is he saying there?

42:18

Is he saying his son died as a military

42:20

person? Yeah, I don't think he

42:22

died in war. He mixes it up. Does

42:25

that say how he died? He died from

42:27

cancer. Biden

42:30

had radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Cancer remained

42:32

stable. May 20, 2015, he was admitted

42:34

to Walter Reed National Medical Center in

42:37

Bethesda, Maryland because of recurrence of brain

42:39

cancer. He died there 10 days later.

42:41

OK. What

42:43

does that have to do? Why

42:47

is he saying, how dare they talk about my son?

42:49

He'll link everything to his son died.

42:51

No, no, no. Exposure to military burn

42:54

pits in Iraq.

42:56

OK, that makes sense. OK. So

42:59

what did he do? According

43:02

to his father, Bo was

43:04

diagnosed with, say

43:07

that word. Ankylosing

43:09

spondylitis. I can't remember which. Ankylosing

43:14

spondylitis. Ankylosing

43:21

spondylitis. After

43:23

returning from service in Kosovo, he

43:26

was later diagnosed with brain cancers, father believes

43:28

is a possible consequence of

43:30

exposure to military burn pits. Well,

43:33

those burn pits 100% fucked people up. That's

43:36

so crazy that they did that, too. They

43:39

had soldiers over there, and they had all this waste, and

43:41

they just burned it all. And then

43:43

the wind would just blow it right into

43:45

the camp. So these soldiers are just breathing

43:47

in toxic chemical waste. Yeah.

43:53

Yikes. Yeah, what the fuck, man? What

43:56

was the sun doing? Or someone's in

43:58

Kosovo. Was the sun serving? I

44:01

think so. Is that what

44:03

happened? It's

44:08

amazing how Trump, he looks

44:10

like, he looks so young

44:13

and energized compared to Biden now. Yeah but it's

44:15

just compared to Biden. Just compared to it. He

44:17

was in Kosovo after 1998-1999 Kosovo War working

44:22

on behalf of the OSCE to

44:24

train judges and prosecutors for the

44:27

local judicial system. 2004 became

44:30

a partner in the law firm of Bit

44:32

to Ferrato, Gentilodi,

44:35

Biden and Balik where

44:37

he worked for two years before being elected

44:39

attorney general of Delaware. He was

44:43

nominated, when Joe Biden was nominated for

44:45

Vice President, Beau introduced him.

44:47

Many delegates wept at his speech which were

44:49

crowned to the auto accident that killed his

44:51

mother and sister and the subsequent commitment his

44:54

father made to his sons. So

44:58

his active duty deployed

45:00

to Iraq, sent

45:02

to Fort Bliss for pre-deployment training this

45:04

day after his father participated in 2008

45:07

presidential campaigns, only vice presidential debate. Father

45:09

was on record saying I don't want him going but

45:11

I tell you what I don't want my grandson or

45:13

my granddaughter's going back in 15 years so

45:16

I can't see it all

45:18

Jimmy. It's cut off. Oh

45:22

so how we leave makes a big

45:24

difference. Whoa that didn't age well. So

45:27

how we leave makes a big difference. Then you

45:29

think about what they did in Afghanistan. Hey

45:32

man fuck that job. Fuck

45:35

that job. You literally have to be a

45:37

crazy person to want that job. Like do

45:39

you imagine wanting the stress of being either

45:41

the vice president or the president? Brian

45:43

Regan has a joke about being president. Every morning

45:45

you wake up someone's like problems sir.

45:49

Lots and lots of problems. Any

45:51

of those jobs. There's not one day where everything's

45:53

like fucking yeah. Do you think they should have

45:55

an age cap on the politicians? Well

45:57

they got a minimum right 35 to run. If

46:00

you want to be a fireman you have

46:02

to show that you're physically competent Yeah, you

46:04

have to complete a physical fitness course sure

46:06

you have to you know because you might

46:08

be able have to do things if you

46:10

Are a president I think you should have

46:12

to commit a mental fitness course like

46:15

they should have to test you with puzzles

46:18

They should have to ask you yeah, yeah, like

46:20

legitimately like it sounds stupid But that's a good

46:22

way to find out what whether someone's brain works

46:24

well test people with

46:26

puzzles and quizzes and

46:30

Ask them questions about history, and they shouldn't

46:32

be able to prepare for it I think

46:34

it should be something that you just you

46:36

just announce today's the day we're

46:38

gonna pull them into this room and we're gonna

46:41

Film it all and ask him a bunch of questions about

46:43

all kinds of things and then let's find out how that

46:45

guy How his brain works? I

46:47

mean, I think Mitch McConnell had two strokes

46:50

wait very short amount of time He locks up whatever

46:52

that is. I don't think it's a stroke, but it's

46:54

it he definitely locks up

46:57

like Windows 95 Yeah, yeah,

46:59

it's not good. It's not good,

47:01

and he's not stepping down Yeah,

47:03

these people are so old They're

47:06

so old and they shouldn't be doing anything

47:09

They certainly shouldn't be running the

47:11

world for future generations that they are absolutely

47:13

not gonna witness Mitch McConnell It is actually

47:16

stepping down. Oh, we will step down when

47:18

did he decide not too long ago? Okay

47:23

finally He

47:25

should have stepped down fucking immediately he

47:27

sounds like mr.. Magoo and Jimmy store

47:32

I mean your your GG ping or

47:34

whatever watching these politicians just having a

47:36

good chuckle I think they that

47:38

GG ping knows those politicians don't really run

47:40

jack shit It's

47:43

the you know what Trump likes to go the deep

47:45

state the deep state real. That's real

47:47

There's there's a bunch of people that run the government

47:50

from war they though well

47:52

There's a lot of money.

47:54

There's heads of immense

47:56

corporations that have incredible financial

48:00

control and influence on politicians. This is

48:02

the reason why lobbyists are some of

48:04

the richest fucking people in the country.

48:06

Like some of the richest real estate

48:08

is in Virginia, right inside of DC.

48:10

And it's a lot of its lobbyists.

48:13

The amount of money that they pour into

48:15

campaigns and pour into making sure that their

48:17

agendas are being met and that their businesses

48:19

get to grow because of regulations

48:22

or lack of regulations or tariffs or

48:24

lack of tariffs or whatever the fuck

48:26

they're trying to do. That's that's who

48:28

runs things. Really and makes

48:31

decisions. And then the

48:33

politicians keep us embattled in

48:35

these social squabbles. You

48:37

know it's like when they have when

48:39

Kamala Harris had this guy

48:42

in a dress with a beard come to the

48:44

White House recently. She's like oh my god for

48:46

pride month. Come on in. You're in the White

48:48

House. That is to

48:51

accentuate this the

48:53

social squabbling. It's so people get

48:55

fired up. Yay. Queers are in

48:57

the White House. And then other

48:59

people go what the fuck are queers doing in the

49:01

White House. It's like that

49:03

this is a part of the

49:06

grand plan to keep people

49:08

not paying attention to the

49:10

really important issues. And

49:13

to just constantly it's like

49:15

these these fucking beach

49:18

balls they throw up at a concert. They

49:20

constantly get thrown up. They're working. They're

49:23

going to take away gay marriage now. They're going

49:25

to take away abortion. They're going to take away

49:27

this guns the border. And they

49:29

just keep throwing these things in the air. So

49:31

you're just like looking left and right and looking

49:33

left and right. And while this is going on

49:37

there's all sorts of laws being

49:39

passed that allow them to look

49:41

at any computer any laptop any

49:44

any phone. They're

49:46

going to be able to bypass encryption with

49:48

A.I. I was just watching a

49:50

video where a security expert was talking about that.

49:52

He was talking about what's

49:55

that guy's name Rob Braxman. He was talking

49:57

about how A.I. in

50:00

your operating system. Once

50:03

they get AI in your operating system,

50:05

all this stuff like Signal and WhatsApp,

50:07

encrypted end-to-end encrypted devices, that's nonsense. It's

50:09

not going to work anymore. It's not

50:11

going to do anything. They're

50:13

going to be able to get your

50:15

information before it's encrypted, as you're typing

50:17

it, before you send it. Everything

50:20

is going to be transparent. They'll

50:22

have access to anything they want,

50:24

anything you have on any device.

50:26

It doesn't matter what kind of

50:28

encryption, what kind of bullshit you're

50:30

using. Oh, that's out the window. He

50:33

was explaining that. What

50:35

about Elon's Neuralink chip? Do

50:38

you think people are going to have those? They

50:40

can just go open up. They don't even have

50:42

to say it. You just think it. Open up

50:44

Google. That's going

50:46

to happen. There's going to be versions of that. What's

50:50

Nolan's last name? R-Boc. Say it again.

50:53

R-Boc. R-Boc. You

50:55

say it the right way? R-Boc. R-Boc.

50:59

R-Boc. He's the first Neuralink patient. We

51:01

had him in the other day. I

51:04

think the episode comes out today. It's out now.

51:06

Yeah, it's out now. He's the first

51:08

guy to get the Neuralink. Does that sound like Elon?

51:11

He's like, I'm sorry. It's working pretty well.

51:13

That's very, very smart. We're going to be

51:15

looking very well. Very smart, very interesting person

51:18

to talk to, completely paralyzed from the neck

51:20

down, except for a few movements in his

51:22

hands. He can kind of move a little

51:24

bit. The spinal cord's not totally severed, but

51:26

it's very badly damaged from an accident

51:29

in the river. And

51:31

now with this Neuralink, he can play

51:33

video games. He can do all kinds

51:35

of shit. And he said

51:38

the cursor goes where his eyes go. The

51:42

cursor goes exactly where he wants it to

51:44

go. So he's like, I have a built-in

51:46

aimbot if I'm playing video games. Because I

51:48

don't miss. He's

51:51

like, I can look right at it. I

51:53

can shoot at things, which is pretty wild.

51:55

And it makes you think, OK, well, for soldiers,

51:57

that's a must. You have to

51:59

give them that. You know in that's you

52:02

know some of the fighter jets the

52:05

new helmets that they have on now are

52:07

augmented reality helmets and When

52:09

they're flying the jets as they're looking

52:11

at a specific spot. That's where the

52:13

crosshairs go So

52:15

the the crosshairs are connected to

52:17

this We're gonna be

52:19

doing that with jokes like you just like

52:21

hit the punchline I think

52:24

Comedy is probably gonna be one of the last places Where

52:27

the actual human experience exists

52:29

in a pure form you

52:32

know It's one of several reasons

52:34

why at the mothership we make people put their

52:36

phones in a bag like get that out of

52:38

your head Yeah, stop looking at that just

52:41

sit down and watch a huge difference

52:43

It's a giant difference But if

52:45

we could still have things like that

52:48

it'll remind us of what it's like

52:50

to be a human You know like the

52:52

movies have kind of gone away go into

52:54

the movie theater. I stopped Well,

52:56

I stopped during the pandemic because you couldn't go and then

52:58

I was like, oh, this is way better if you have

53:00

a nice TV at home and no one's gonna erupt and

53:03

You know there's something about that kind of taking

53:05

a girl on a date But oh yeah I

53:07

remember I went everybody had to be six feet

53:09

apart and you know two people in each row

53:11

and that's all made up When

53:14

they found out six he's like it

53:16

was out there. I didn't I didn't

53:18

make up the rules It was out

53:20

there from this flu when we didn't

53:23

even have fucking electricity back then Well,

53:26

it's there's no it doesn't make sense.

53:28

It's in the air. It's a respiratory

53:30

virus They've never ever in the history

53:32

of human beings been able to contain

53:34

a respiratory virus You can't do

53:36

it if a respiratory virus gets

53:39

out to a certain number of people and it

53:41

starts spreading through certain pop It's just gonna and

53:43

it also has Animal reservoirs

53:46

so one of the things I find

53:48

it actually can exist in certain animals

53:50

in fact in deer They

53:53

tested a bunch of white-tailed deer just

53:55

wild deer and a bunch of them

53:57

tested positive for COVID-19 I'm

54:01

gonna look back this that's six. There's

54:03

still six feet stand six feet apart

54:05

at the airport. It's so fucking stupid

54:08

It's so stupid, but it was all a

54:10

thing where people looked for something to make

54:12

them feel better, right? So

54:14

even though masks didn't work even

54:18

though six foot distancing didn't work if

54:21

you were out in public and you

54:23

knew that kovat was a thing and there wasn't Some

54:26

sort of fake measure that made you at

54:28

least feel safe Like you

54:30

have to stand a little bit apart from each other you have

54:32

to wear the mask We're gonna be okay

54:34

if we follow these rules. We took the vaccine

54:37

We're standing six feet away We're wearing a mask

54:39

and so all those things even though none of

54:41

those things kept you from getting kovat zero of

54:43

those things Kept you from getting kovat. In fact,

54:45

there's more evidence now that the more of those

54:47

shots you take the more you get kovat there's

54:50

a bunch of different reasons for that, but I'm

54:52

not a virologist or biologist, but Those

54:55

things at least kept people thinking that they

54:57

were doing the right thing and that maybe

54:59

they're gonna be safe Instead of just a

55:01

freak out of a bunch of people with

55:03

no masks and a wild disease that we've

55:05

been told is gonna kill Everybody I saw

55:07

the clip of him saying, you know, that's

55:09

really they'll make you feel better. And

55:12

so I thought okay That

55:14

makes sense. Nobody said in that clip. Yeah,

55:16

it's not gonna help It's not gonna help

55:18

and then wear one then you people

55:20

start wearing two. Yeah, he was wearing two

55:22

Yeah, you got to wear two then wear

55:24

a face shield and put a fucking diaper

55:27

over your fucking head The wear two is

55:29

just like the woke shit in San Francisco.

55:31

It never stops It would go to wear

55:33

a beekeepers outfit. It would go further. Yeah,

55:35

if they let it stay on I wear

55:37

two masks now I feel more

55:39

protected. Yeah wrap yourself in plastic and

55:41

just stay underwater It's

55:44

amazing how that guy can gaslight It's

55:47

amazing. He does it and he's his hands

55:49

fidget and the you can tell with his

55:51

body language Oh, he's fuck. I love watching

55:54

him when he's in Congress when they're when

55:56

they're you know, interrogating him It's a political

55:58

feeder Ron It's all

56:00

misinformation and disinformation. Yeah. Oh,

56:04

he's well prepared to gaslight. But

56:06

how can people still watch him

56:08

and go, yeah, you know, we did the

56:10

right thing. Even in that audio

56:12

that you were talking about, he

56:14

said, would you make people's lives

56:16

difficult, they will drop their ideological

56:18

bullshit and get vaccinated. Fucking worked.

56:22

He said, when they were quizzing him on

56:24

this, when they were asking him about this

56:26

and confronting him with this, he

56:29

said, that's not what I meant. Yeah.

56:33

He's sick. He's a sick, mad

56:36

scientist. What could you possibly have meant other

56:38

than what you said? If

56:40

you're that guy, this is not like a

56:42

thought experiment, you're hanging out with buddies and

56:44

you're like, imagine if you were a guy,

56:46

you would tell people, no, that's not what

56:49

that was. That was you,

56:51

the head of the NIH, you, the

56:53

head of our America's coronavirus task force.

56:55

You're the big guy. You're the one

56:58

America looks to for the answers. And

57:00

you're saying that. Yeah, shame them and,

57:02

but God did that work, man. That

57:06

was what I learned from that was how

57:08

hard it is to stand up for something

57:10

you believe in. God damn.

57:14

To go, I'm going to do this and I'm

57:16

going to, you start to see your friends disappear,

57:18

your family. I mean, I wasn't allowed home

57:21

for Christmas. I had to sit outside

57:23

on a porch with half my

57:25

family outside wearing masks on and I'm

57:27

standing on the other side. It's 38

57:30

degrees out. And I'm going, what

57:32

am I like, like the first AIDS patient here?

57:35

How do they respond to that now? They

57:37

apologize? No, no,

57:39

it's just, it will not. Everything's just

57:41

back. We're just back. We're back open.

57:44

You know, it's, um, but that's,

57:46

do you think that's just human nature? Like we're

57:48

going to people are cowards. And

57:51

there's like a mass psychosis

57:54

that happens. Like everybody

57:56

to collectively panicked in the

57:58

face of this. that

58:00

we'd never experienced before, like

58:02

a global pandemic in our lifetime, and

58:05

then people fell apart. Like

58:07

that's what happens to people when they

58:09

get pressured. There's a lot of people

58:11

out there that have never really experienced

58:13

actual pressure in their life. So when

58:15

something scary like a virus comes into

58:17

their life, they fold up like a

58:19

house of cards. They just can't take

58:21

it. They don't know what the fuck

58:23

to do and they don't have any

58:25

personal sovereignty. So they don't have the ability

58:27

to go, wait, what is

58:30

everyone saying? That doesn't make any sense. Why

58:32

am I gonna do that? What are the

58:34

consequences? How much do we know

58:36

about pharmaceutical drug companies? Have they ever lied

58:38

before? Oh they have. Have they ever been

58:41

fine, oh the most fines in medical history?

58:44

Okay, what are these studies? Like

58:46

how long did they take to do these studies?

58:48

Like it's a hundred percent effective. What does that

58:50

mean? How do they define a hundred percent effective?

58:52

Does that mean if you take it you definitely

58:54

won't get COVID? Because that's what I thought it

58:57

meant. Do you know what it meant in a

58:59

hundred percent effective in stopping death? In

59:01

the vaccine, Robert Kennedy explained this to

59:04

me. This is his

59:06

words, not mine, but if he's right it's the craziest

59:08

fucking thing I've ever heard in my life. I

59:10

think he's right. In

59:12

the placebo group, two

59:15

people die. I'm gonna do his

59:17

voice while you talk. Don't do

59:19

that. In the placebo group, two

59:21

people died from COVID. In the

59:23

vaccine group, one person died. Two

59:25

is a hundred percent more than

59:27

one. So it's one hundred percent

59:29

effective. Imagine

59:33

that. Imagine that kind of math.

59:35

That's that's fauci kind of gasoline. Nobody really

59:37

knew. Nobody knew. It's like a hundred percent

59:39

effective. So you get people like Rachel Maddow

59:41

on TV telling you that. The virus stops

59:43

with you. You can't get

59:46

infected. You can't transmit. And then they never

59:48

even, they had to admit later in European

59:50

court that they never even tested it for

59:52

transmission. It was never tested

59:55

for transmission. Who hears that and is

59:57

gonna go, fuck it. Yeah,

1:00:00

I get I get to be the hero I

1:00:02

get to get the shot Yeah, and I get

1:00:04

to end it yeah, and that's how people walk

1:00:06

in Instagram Yeah, I

1:00:09

got vaccine. You know what fucking fine, but

1:00:11

don't shame the people who just made the

1:00:13

decision That it's

1:00:15

not for me I never said one negative thing

1:00:17

about the vaccine or who got it and goddamn

1:00:20

dude even in the in the stand-up scene I

1:00:22

was a far right I QAnon

1:00:25

all the fucking things horse

1:00:27

medicine guy. You know you know it's like listen man.

1:00:29

I got it on CNN I know it. I know

1:00:32

it more than anybody knows it Chris

1:00:35

Cuomo would not did you see the Dave

1:00:37

Smith dude Dave Smith fuck lit him on

1:00:39

fire He lit him on fire on his

1:00:41

corpse that piece of shit that

1:00:43

that clip actually I made I did an

1:00:46

impression of you Doing an

1:00:48

impression of Don Lemon dude wait

1:00:50

you met don't get the vaccine can't

1:00:52

go to work Yeah, don't get the vaccine. You

1:00:54

can't take a poop. Don't get the vaccine Unbelievable

1:00:57

that that is on national television and that

1:00:59

clip lives on and they get to just

1:01:01

get away with well Not only that him

1:01:03

and Chris Cuomo when he's talking about people

1:01:06

injecting Veterinary medicine

1:01:09

and then Chris Cuomo saying

1:01:11

Ivermectin a deer warmer like

1:01:14

the the Stupidity in

1:01:16

which they were describing on cable

1:01:19

television like first of all you're not

1:01:21

injecting anything you fucking Idiot you're taking

1:01:23

a small pill That's one of the

1:01:25

safest drug profiles of any drug in

1:01:28

recorded history That's been prescribed

1:01:30

to human beings billions of times

1:01:33

and the fact that they had the balls to

1:01:35

go on TV and frame it that way and

1:01:38

Then Chris Cuomo with with Dave Smith saying like

1:01:40

this is what we were being told that they

1:01:42

were take like you don't have Google Like

1:01:45

you just go out on CNN you spit

1:01:47

out what they're telling you Didn't look at

1:01:49

it at all even at the same token

1:01:51

even if you wanted to go experiment with

1:01:53

an actual Why don't you get to

1:01:56

do that? So you everybody

1:01:58

has to take this experimental fucking

1:02:00

rush vaccine that Trump pushed the

1:02:02

regulations. Yeah, but you're missing the

1:02:04

point. The point is I was already better. That's the dumbest

1:02:06

part about this. Sure. The dumbest part

1:02:08

about let them experiment, let them not experiment. That's not

1:02:10

the point. The point was I got

1:02:12

better really quick. Which is hooray. Yeah, but

1:02:14

they didn't want that. So that's when the

1:02:16

machine moved and they went with this horse dewormer

1:02:18

narrative because they were worried that other people

1:02:20

were going to start taking ivermectin. I took

1:02:22

a bunch of things and I talked about all,

1:02:25

I didn't say ivermectin by itself. I

1:02:27

said IV vitamins,

1:02:30

monoclonal antibodies, Z-packs.

1:02:34

I literally gave the list

1:02:37

of different things. There was some

1:02:39

cordysteroid. What is that stuff called? There

1:02:43

was some sort of a steroid that I took too. What

1:02:46

was it called? You were better like in two days

1:02:48

or something, right? Quick. Holy shit. Like

1:02:51

quick. How old are you? Like it was gone.

1:02:54

God damn. I was like, I'm going to get in the bag six

1:02:56

days later. I was like, let's see what's going on. Because

1:02:59

the only way to really see what's going on is to see if I

1:03:01

have endurance. I did 10 rounds

1:03:03

in the bag. I was nothing. At five days

1:03:05

in, I did a workout and I tried it. I was like,

1:03:07

I feel pretty good. I don't

1:03:09

want to relapse because I kept hearing that people

1:03:11

would work out too quick and they'd relapse. So

1:03:15

I said, let me just go through a decent

1:03:17

workout and see how I feel. If I feel

1:03:19

it all drained or tired, I'm pretty in tune.

1:03:21

Which is how I knew something

1:03:23

was wrong in the first place. I'm pretty tuned in to

1:03:25

my body. And then the next

1:03:28

day I said, all right, let's fucking push it.

1:03:30

Let's see what's up. And I pushed

1:03:32

it. I felt 100%. I was 100% six

1:03:34

days later. And I think I was

1:03:36

100% five days later. I just

1:03:38

didn't try. So

1:03:40

that was bad for the narrative

1:03:43

because the narrative was this thing was super dangerous.

1:03:45

You know, you need to take a vaccine. That's

1:03:47

the only way through it. And

1:03:50

my doctor was saying, no, no, it's

1:03:52

not as dangerous as they're saying, especially

1:03:54

if there's someone like you who works

1:03:56

out every day and takes vitamins every

1:03:58

day and He always eats healthy.

1:04:00

This is not the thing that's gonna get

1:04:02

you. He's like, the people that are dying,

1:04:04

what I'm seeing is people with comorbidities, he

1:04:06

was explaining everything to me, and

1:04:09

he recommended a series

1:04:12

of nutrients to take to prepare

1:04:14

yourself to like, to pump up

1:04:16

your immune system. And

1:04:18

he's like, but there's a bunch of things that you can

1:04:20

take if you do get infected that will help you recover.

1:04:22

And that's what it took. And it worked.

1:04:25

Yeah, I think how many people could have perhaps

1:04:27

replicated that. They didn't want that. In

1:04:29

order to have the emergency use authorization

1:04:31

so that they could make sure that

1:04:33

everybody gets vaccinated, they had to have

1:04:35

no other treatments. That's why they demonize

1:04:37

ivermectin. That's why they demonize hydroxychloroquine. That's

1:04:40

why they kept a lot of people

1:04:42

from getting monoclonal antibodies. They didn't want

1:04:44

any solution other than the one that

1:04:46

was gonna make them insane amounts of

1:04:48

money. And that's what they pushed for.

1:04:50

And we went through that. Yeah. And

1:04:52

the thing is like, did we learn? That's the

1:04:54

question. Did we learn? I don't think so. I

1:04:56

don't know. I think a lot of people

1:04:58

learned. You learned? I

1:05:01

learned, but I almost didn't survive it. To

1:05:03

go through that, and I had no bank

1:05:05

account. I had no money. The

1:05:07

money I was getting was from Comedy Club

1:05:09

Cash. And I had just

1:05:11

gotten to the clubs in New York City. And I

1:05:13

decided I'm not going, here's

1:05:15

my papers to get in. Right. I'm

1:05:18

not doing it. Right. Not

1:05:20

doing it. I fucking performed outside during

1:05:22

those shows. I was performing for free

1:05:24

outside of comedy clubs. And

1:05:27

then once the vaccine, I said, we need your papers.

1:05:29

And I just said, I can't do it. I said,

1:05:31

okay, take care. Wow. And to

1:05:33

do- How long did you go from that to not doing

1:05:35

stand up? How many months did you not do stand up?

1:05:38

Well, I started just doing videos in

1:05:40

my living room. I lost my fucking

1:05:42

mind. That's the thing is, and

1:05:45

when I tour, a lot of

1:05:47

my fans went through

1:05:49

a similar thing. And so when I meet them

1:05:51

after, it's painful. Because

1:05:56

everybody tells me this story. I'm a firefighter. I

1:05:58

lost my job. I'm a nurse. Yeah,

1:06:00

I lost my family. I was isolated my

1:06:02

might just met a guy his daughter killed

1:06:04

herself because she couldn't practice her

1:06:06

sports She was locked in her bedroom It's

1:06:09

like the fucking damage that

1:06:11

was done and to be able to stay

1:06:13

steady during that and go all right I'm

1:06:15

gonna go through this now without any friends

1:06:17

and Being labeled

1:06:20

this far-right crazy person for

1:06:22

just saying no. Thanks to

1:06:24

the shot Yeah, it

1:06:27

you can't believe you know what

1:06:29

that does to you And so

1:06:31

I just feel I feel so I feel

1:06:34

so much for these people that did it

1:06:36

and who's who stuck up to it Yeah,

1:06:38

I do too And I've also feel for

1:06:40

the people that got suckered into taking and

1:06:42

now they have like serious consequences or serious

1:06:44

health problems You know, I was

1:06:46

ready to get vaccinated the UFC had allocated

1:06:48

a bunch of vaccines for their employees This

1:06:50

is because they were doing shows during the

1:06:52

pandemic We did shows in the

1:06:55

height of the pandemic with no crowds so

1:06:57

the UFC has this place called the apex

1:06:59

center and the apex centers a small arena

1:07:01

that the UFC built and They

1:07:03

built it to do like the Dana White Tuesday

1:07:05

night contender series and a bunch of different other

1:07:07

fights that they filmed There and so

1:07:10

we went there And they

1:07:12

said we've got the vaccine so you

1:07:14

can get vaccinated We

1:07:16

saved one for if you want to get it. I

1:07:18

said, okay great a lot of the UFC employees It

1:07:20

was the Johnson and Johnson vaccine And

1:07:23

so I called up the doctor. Hey, can I get it today?

1:07:25

I was like the day of the fights He said I can't

1:07:27

do it today. You gotta you have to come to the clinic

1:07:29

Can you come on Monday and I said I

1:07:31

can't come on Monday? I gotta go

1:07:34

back Sunday I said but I'll be back in two

1:07:36

weeks for the next fights We'll do it then in

1:07:38

the time that I left the

1:07:41

the vaccine got pulled for blood clots and

1:07:44

I knew two people that had strokes

1:07:48

One guy that I met and another guy who was a friend of a

1:07:50

guy that I met and they told me

1:07:52

that they had Strokes like within five days of

1:07:54

getting vaccinated and I was like wait

1:07:56

what and then they

1:07:58

were saying I was reading the news story about

1:08:01

it. They're pulling it because of blood clots. I

1:08:03

remember that. These guys that got, had, and I'm

1:08:05

like, holy shit. And

1:08:07

I think I talked to the

1:08:09

UFC. I go, hey man, I don't want to take that.

1:08:11

And you know, they, one of the guys that I talked

1:08:14

to over there was like, I agree with you. Like, you

1:08:16

know, I took it. I don't know. I think I feel

1:08:19

okay, but I know a guy.

1:08:21

I know a guy. Everybody knew a guy that got

1:08:23

fucked up. Everybody knew somebody who got fucked up by

1:08:25

it. But it was like all of a sudden the

1:08:27

genie had come out of the bottle because before

1:08:29

that I was all in. I was, I was

1:08:32

not in any way, shape, or form anti-vax. And

1:08:34

it doesn't make you anti-vax for not wanting to

1:08:37

get one of them. My point is, in fact,

1:08:39

I was at a, I was having a conversation

1:08:41

with one of the

1:08:43

scientists that I talked to about this and I

1:08:46

was like, maybe this would be good to get

1:08:48

people that are these crazy people that are anti-vaccine

1:08:50

to like wake up and recognize the importance of

1:08:52

these things. So this was my mindset back then.

1:08:55

And so when that happened, I

1:08:58

decided like I'm not taking a chance with

1:09:00

this thing. Like this is too weird. And

1:09:02

then I knew another guy who had some

1:09:04

sort of a heart problem from the Moderna

1:09:07

one allegedly. And then it

1:09:09

just got, it just started getting weirder

1:09:11

and weirder. And then when a

1:09:13

couple of my friends got COVID, one of the things that

1:09:15

happened is my whole family got COVID. And

1:09:18

I was like, well, I should probably just

1:09:20

get it. And I was like,

1:09:22

if I get, I was getting tested every day

1:09:24

because we were doing the podcast. So the way

1:09:26

we would do the podcast to keep everybody safe

1:09:28

is all the employees got tested, security got tested,

1:09:30

I got tested, everybody got tested. And a couple

1:09:33

of times we had to cancel shows because

1:09:35

someone, someone tested positive. And then we all,

1:09:37

everybody had to keep getting tested. We were

1:09:39

very diligent about it. But

1:09:42

my whole family got it. My kids

1:09:44

got it and they were fine. Like

1:09:46

they skated through it. Like one day,

1:09:48

two days, they felt great. Like this

1:09:50

was early, early days, like no vaccine, no

1:09:52

one knew what the fuck the treatment was. My

1:09:56

wife got it. She took ivermectin because they

1:09:58

were actually prescribing it back then. and

1:10:00

her doctor prescribed it back then. This is the

1:10:02

early, early days. Yeah. I didn't

1:10:04

get it, but I did feel not

1:10:07

good. But I was in the house,

1:10:09

man. I hugged the kids and they were like, you're gonna

1:10:11

get it? I'm like, I'm not gonna get it. I was

1:10:13

like, it was a joke. We were joking around. Cause like,

1:10:15

they weren't even that sick. And my wife got it worse

1:10:17

than them for sure, but

1:10:19

I didn't get it. And I kept working out.

1:10:21

I was working out and I remember one day

1:10:23

I worked out and I didn't feel good. I

1:10:26

was like, man, I feel fucking weak. And

1:10:29

I was like, I'm just gonna do, I'm like,

1:10:31

use like lighter weights and just go through

1:10:34

like three series of this routine that

1:10:36

I do, just light and easy. Don't

1:10:38

push it. Just get the blood flowing

1:10:41

a little bit. And then the

1:10:43

next day I went back to the gym and I

1:10:45

did the same thing. I started working. I was like,

1:10:47

yeah, I don't fucking feel that good. Like I still

1:10:49

feel a little off. I'm like, let's just do the

1:10:51

same thing. Nice and light. Just go through the motions,

1:10:53

not pushing anything. And then the next

1:10:56

day I went in and I felt fucking

1:10:58

great. I'm like, okay, it's gone. Whatever it

1:11:00

was, it's gone. I tested every day, never

1:11:02

tested positive for it, but my body clearly

1:11:05

was fighting something. Like there's something going

1:11:07

on. And I, because I'm

1:11:09

so in tune with it, I recognize that

1:11:11

I didn't push. I do have

1:11:13

some friends though that are meatheads and

1:11:15

they also felt that same thing. And they were doing

1:11:17

jiu-jitsu and they just kept training really hard and they

1:11:20

got real sick. Because if you get

1:11:22

sick while you're broken down from training,

1:11:25

like if you have a really hard,

1:11:27

really hard workout is, the whole thing

1:11:29

is it makes your body stronger because

1:11:31

it breaks you down and then your

1:11:33

body has to build back up again.

1:11:35

I gotta have to help build a

1:11:38

body here. We can have

1:11:40

you build a body here. Asan's been working out. We

1:11:43

can have you come in here. I do laps in my hot tub, man.

1:11:45

That's as much as I do. I

1:11:47

don't need much. Well, you should do a

1:11:49

little something. You don't have to do anything rigorous. Actually,

1:11:51

I heard you say once, do

1:11:53

100 push-ups a day and it'll change your life.

1:11:56

And it fucking did. Just,

1:11:59

I couldn't do. You know, I did 50, now

1:12:02

I can do 100 no problem. Yeah, that'll

1:12:04

change your life. And my whole

1:12:06

everything, it's like, you gotta do what you're

1:12:08

willing to do. It can't be much. Well

1:12:10

you gotta have some activity. Your body needs

1:12:12

activity. Your body, so

1:12:14

my point is, if

1:12:16

you break yourself down from really hard workouts,

1:12:19

you will get fucking sick sick. Like the

1:12:21

sickest I've ever been is when

1:12:23

I got sick because I was working out really hard.

1:12:26

Because when that happens, then it hits you and

1:12:28

you just fucking get wrecked. And I knew a

1:12:30

bunch of people that did that. But

1:12:33

you just gotta be smart. Yeah. And

1:12:35

like a lot of tough guys are not smart. Because

1:12:37

they're just too tough. They're too tough and

1:12:40

they make these decisions like I'll just fucking

1:12:42

power through. Our ape brain, our man cave

1:12:44

brain, you know, it takes

1:12:46

over. It does, but that's also what makes

1:12:48

you successful. That stupid part of your brain

1:12:50

that can just power through things, that's what

1:12:53

makes you get up in the morning, that

1:12:55

gives you discipline. Yeah, yeah. That also can

1:12:57

fuck you up. It can fuck you up.

1:12:59

Yeah, it can fuck, you have to know,

1:13:02

you have to be the general of the army.

1:13:04

Yeah. You have to understand what's

1:13:06

going on. You can't always just be the soldier.

1:13:08

Sometimes you have to be strategic about it. Like

1:13:10

no, no, no, hold is not

1:13:12

the time to attack. Well you need people

1:13:15

you really trust who can tell you. I

1:13:17

mean, the weekend that I just filmed, I've

1:13:19

stayed up for three days straight to finish

1:13:21

editing it. So I've never done that. And

1:13:23

I remember doing it going, this is, I

1:13:26

don't know if this is really stupid or really smart,

1:13:29

but Biden can die any day and half of

1:13:31

your set is about Biden. The

1:13:33

wind could take him out, man. And

1:13:36

so I just did three days, you know,

1:13:38

couple hours of sleep. That's hilarious. It's like

1:13:40

a race to see if he dies. I

1:13:42

was supposed to film it in August in

1:13:45

Chicago. And I go, no, if he dies,

1:13:47

this is useless. There's three

1:13:49

years of honing these fucking jokes in.

1:13:54

And that's such a crazy mindset. I

1:13:56

got to get it out before the president dies. I

1:13:58

got to beat his funeral. Oh

1:14:00

my god. Do you think he do you think that they're gonna

1:14:02

put in Gavin Newsom? Oh That's

1:14:06

what I think I keep thinking like

1:14:08

every day. I'm waiting waiting for the

1:14:10

big announcement in the news He is so

1:14:12

repulsive man. He's repulsive, but he knows how

1:14:15

to talk that's all and he's attractive. God.

1:14:17

Damn it He's got a nice hair hot

1:14:19

privilege. Yeah, he's a he's a smooth gas

1:14:21

lighter and He's got

1:14:23

that serial killer face though super good at running a

1:14:25

state into the ground He

1:14:28

talks like he's rapping, you know, he'd like

1:14:30

yeah, we're gonna shut down. Yeah. Well,

1:14:32

it scares me. It's very practiced He's

1:14:35

a performer, you know, but

1:14:37

that's what half this country wants They want someone who's

1:14:39

just gonna make them feel good enough to go to

1:14:41

work every day Sure. Well as

1:14:43

their rights get eroded. Yeah slowly, but

1:14:45

surely Kamala Harris, that would be interesting

1:14:47

even to have her for one day

1:14:49

As president brother been hiding that lady.

1:14:51

That would be interesting. No No

1:14:56

That's what rest is gonna attack. You know, I got

1:14:58

kicked out of a comedy club for doing an impression

1:15:00

of her No, yeah, what they said

1:15:02

it's no longer okay for a straight white guy

1:15:05

to do an impression of a retarded hyena Wow.

1:15:08

Yeah What was the

1:15:10

club? It was

1:15:12

like I make shift thing during kovat It

1:15:16

was this outdoor thing and I got

1:15:18

thrown out they go you're racist I was

1:15:21

like, oh my god, and I got thrown

1:15:23

to the curb Wow because I couldn't do

1:15:25

the club So is unvaccinated. I hate saying

1:15:27

unvaccinated that makes it sound like the vaccine.

1:15:30

It's like being I'm I

1:15:32

didn't get circumcised I don't like being

1:15:34

called uncircumcised. Right? Yeah, so you can't

1:15:36

un something that just is right The

1:15:39

chop the chop. Yeah. Yeah, I hate

1:15:41

that it is we're careful with the

1:15:43

way we phrase your unvax It's like

1:15:45

fuck you. I'm just a human with

1:15:47

blood regular blood and you got Fauci

1:15:49

juice Trump Fauci juice Foot

1:15:51

around your body warp speed juice inside

1:15:54

of you son warp speed and

1:15:56

so did the the joke go over well Did

1:15:58

it get a good laugh? I was just

1:16:00

kind of talking about race and stuff,

1:16:02

and you're a racist, and the

1:16:05

manager came and physically threw me

1:16:07

to the curb, and I just remember, what the, what

1:16:10

is going on? When I started comedy, you

1:16:13

know, I started around the time of like

1:16:15

Sam Morrill and Mark Normand, and I started

1:16:17

two years after them, and we

1:16:19

were still doing open mics. You'd see Mark Normand on

1:16:21

The Tonight Show, and then back at the club, hey,

1:16:24

hey, comedy, all right, you're gay, I'm fat, praise, I

1:16:26

lie, hey, ha! And

1:16:29

we would say the craziest shit, and

1:16:31

it made you good, and then suddenly it was like,

1:16:33

you can't say this, you can't say that, you can't

1:16:35

say that, and it's all made

1:16:38

up, it's all made up. It all happened

1:16:40

during the Obama administration. It was a wave

1:16:42

of it, and Dave Smith

1:16:44

has tracked it. It's really interesting

1:16:47

to describe it. He

1:16:49

describes like when the phrases, all

1:16:51

the different catch phrases, that

1:16:54

all of it's around 2012. It's

1:16:56

like this big ramp up of

1:16:59

all these things, racism, all these,

1:17:01

transphobia, all this big ramp up

1:17:03

of all these issues happened

1:17:05

around 2012. I'm

1:17:09

transphobic, but that just means because I'm afraid

1:17:11

of them. Joe, I've

1:17:13

gone out with two by accident.

1:17:15

Yeah? Yeah, I used to

1:17:18

do online dating, and they would have

1:17:20

good angles, the surgery's getting good too.

1:17:23

And if they're Asian, phew, game over.

1:17:27

So I was on a date with, it was

1:17:29

a black woman, it turned out to be

1:17:31

a man. And

1:17:34

I had a complete mental breakdown. I

1:17:36

ran in the bathroom, I called my friend, I go, I'm

1:17:38

out with a dude, and he wants

1:17:40

to fuck me. He wants to take me home.

1:17:42

Jesus. Yeah, yeah, that happened twice.

1:17:45

So did they explain to you that they had

1:17:47

a dick? No, no. No,

1:17:49

no. If you're dealing with

1:17:51

someone who has a, I'm not saying all people that,

1:17:54

I don't even think trans is, it's all fucking,

1:17:56

just makes you have a seizure. But

1:17:58

no, they don't, a lot of them don't. tell you. Well

1:18:01

a lot of them feel like

1:18:03

you don't have to tell. I was

1:18:05

actually watching a podcast where a comic

1:18:08

was arguing that you shouldn't have to

1:18:10

tell someone that you're trans if

1:18:12

you're dating them even if you're having sex with

1:18:15

them. Hmm well you're

1:18:17

gonna find out. A comic was arguing that.

1:18:19

When they're fucking vagina comes apart. And they

1:18:21

were doing it in just this woke compliant

1:18:24

way. It wasn't like they had a well-thought-out

1:18:26

point. It was just like yeah why should

1:18:28

you have to tell people like what the

1:18:30

fuck are you talking about? What are you

1:18:32

talking about? You should tell people if you

1:18:34

have bad credit. You

1:18:37

should tell people if you're gonna get involved in

1:18:39

a romantic relationship with someone and you owe

1:18:42

the government a hundred thousand dollars in taxes. You should

1:18:44

have to fucking tell people that. Like I might be

1:18:46

in trouble. I might have to run to Costa Rica.

1:18:48

Yeah you should have to tell people a lot of

1:18:50

things. Yeah well it's

1:18:53

that that's the new way. It's just this compliance

1:18:55

for all this new shit that didn't exist a

1:18:57

couple years ago. Well the thing is that they

1:19:00

want to say that trans women are women so why should they

1:19:02

have to tell you? I think it's

1:19:04

transphobic to call somebody trans because

1:19:07

if they're an actual woman they're just a woman. So

1:19:09

why you calling them trans? You can't transition if

1:19:12

you were born a woman and you feel like

1:19:14

a woman. You really want to support people like

1:19:16

this? Trans shouldn't be on

1:19:18

the fucking table. That's a woman. With

1:19:21

a dick though. With the

1:19:23

dick. Yeah so that's how you say trans woman. The woman

1:19:25

with the dick. Just so to let everybody know. Just say

1:19:27

woman with a dick. A

1:19:29

dick person yeah. A

1:19:31

dick holding person. Dick holding person. For now they might

1:19:34

decide to get rid of the dick. Oh

1:19:36

man I wonder what that's that's the thing

1:19:38

I wonder if I've ever even. Yeah

1:19:44

yeah. They should show the surgery. You

1:19:47

want kids to get involved. They should

1:19:49

show the surgery of taking your forearm skin

1:19:51

and building a penis. Well it's hard

1:19:54

enough having God given penis. Imagine one

1:19:56

built by a bunch

1:19:58

of like arteries and. woman

1:22:00

to kind of keep you in check. So

1:22:02

men have been adapting. Vikings. That's

1:22:05

where Vikings came from. Yeah. That's where

1:22:07

pirates came from. Yeah. You

1:22:09

leave men alone and not have a bunch of

1:22:11

women around going, hey, slow the fuck down. Slow

1:22:14

down. Then you have battle

1:22:16

axes. Get me the... Boats full

1:22:18

of savages, storming villages. Yeah. Yeah.

1:22:21

Yeah. And so that's the

1:22:24

over correction. That's the over correction

1:22:26

is you get these incredibly feminized men. One

1:22:29

of the ways that happens is jobs,

1:22:31

right? So you have a job and

1:22:33

you're in this social structure for

1:22:35

eight hours a day that is

1:22:38

very unnatural and weird. And

1:22:40

most companies have DEI scores

1:22:42

and most companies have all

1:22:45

these different requirements and they're

1:22:47

openly allowed to discriminate against

1:22:49

especially heterosexual white men. I

1:22:51

mean, no one or two

1:22:53

things about that. Yeah. A

1:22:56

thing that Elon tweeted, I think

1:23:00

today or yesterday in response to

1:23:02

one of these things at Disney

1:23:04

where one of the guys at

1:23:06

Disney openly said, I would

1:23:09

never hire a straight white man. I

1:23:13

have that on tape. You know, I have a lawsuit. Yeah.

1:23:16

Well, that's why I'm bringing this up. Yeah. Yeah. I

1:23:19

mean... So you and I talked about it in the green room. And tell

1:23:21

your story. Tell what happened and how this all...

1:23:23

This shit fest. Yeah. It's

1:23:26

quite a long story. I

1:23:29

mean, when I started comedy and started,

1:23:31

I've been doing 20 years. So

1:23:34

I've been on TV, TV shows,

1:23:36

guest stars, co-stars. You

1:23:38

never really heard, you know,

1:23:40

that's too many white guys or it's getting

1:23:43

a little too white. And then

1:23:45

I remember like at comedy clubs, you just start

1:23:47

to hear people say, you know,

1:23:49

there's too many white guys, too many fucking white

1:23:51

guys. And then

1:23:54

it became quite popular to

1:23:56

just start to say, there's too

1:23:59

many of you guys. tape

1:28:01

and I just... What did you get on

1:28:03

tape? I got him literally saying

1:28:06

we will not represent white men and

1:28:08

its company policy. He said

1:28:10

it in plain it's not it couldn't be any more

1:28:12

clear. He said we cannot

1:28:15

work with you just because you're skin color.

1:28:17

And where were you when you recorded this?

1:28:19

Were you in New York? Yeah I was

1:28:21

in New York so you're allowed to do

1:28:23

it. I didn't even know that. Do you have

1:28:26

to tell them that you're recording? No. I

1:28:28

was sitting at my pot I did like a little because I

1:28:31

couldn't work because of the vaccine stuff so

1:28:33

I was just locked in my room for

1:28:35

two years making Instagram videos. I mean I

1:28:37

went from zero to a million over a

1:28:40

million followers just from I was doing Fauci

1:28:42

every day doing cameos going on the radio

1:28:44

is Fauci is and

1:28:46

it was just bizarre and but

1:28:48

it did it it it fucked me

1:28:51

up because it was

1:28:54

so it's so confusing to have someone go you are the

1:28:56

man for the job I had a great resume I mean

1:28:58

I was I was being considered for

1:29:00

big Hollywood roles I

1:29:02

was brought in for a sneaky Pete Giovanni Ribisi

1:29:04

I was up for that role and

1:29:07

making my own films and

1:29:12

yeah it fucked me up I got

1:29:14

really depressed I lost my mind. And

1:29:16

so when you recorded this

1:29:18

on tape what happened after you recorded on

1:29:21

tape? After that I

1:29:23

was too afraid because when I would tell people

1:29:25

about this they would go well whatever white guys

1:29:27

have had it good you know I'm going I

1:29:29

just fucking got here. But isn't that one of

1:29:31

the things that someone said to you like why

1:29:34

guys have had a good run? People

1:29:36

say that to me all the time. But wasn't that one of the things

1:29:38

that one of the agents had said to you? I mean

1:29:41

maybe I don't

1:29:43

know if an agent said that but but you

1:29:45

were telling me that someone said it to you.

1:29:47

Comedy yeah comedy clubs a lot

1:29:49

of not necessarily clubs but like the independent

1:29:51

run shows there would be note there would

1:29:53

be like no white people allowed shows. What?

1:29:56

Yeah oh yeah oh yeah yeah I was

1:29:58

at a club and I did a spot

1:30:00

guy goes, you go in on the next show? And

1:30:03

I go, yeah, he goes, I didn't know you were

1:30:05

in the LGBT plus two RQR community. And I go,

1:30:07

what? He goes, yeah, it's only no straight people allowed.

1:30:09

I was like, what the fuck? What

1:30:12

the fuck is going on? And

1:30:15

so I, after that, I waited

1:30:17

a while. I

1:30:21

talked to my therapist, I just didn't know what to do.

1:30:23

Cause I didn't want that to become a force

1:30:26

of its own. I wanted to have

1:30:30

my talent lead the way, which it had always

1:30:32

been doing. And it's

1:30:34

tough to have people call it, you say, oh,

1:30:36

you're just being a victim or whatever. And it's

1:30:38

like, yeah, sometimes you're a victim and you

1:30:40

have to fight it to heal from it and to move on

1:30:42

from it. And so I thought

1:30:44

if I don't fight this, I'm

1:30:47

going to kill myself because it was so, it's

1:30:49

so humiliating to have someone go, your skin color

1:30:51

is just, it's just not the time for it.

1:30:54

And so I just thought, I'm

1:30:57

going to go for it. And I just put it on

1:30:59

Instagram. I said, hey, I just got

1:31:02

turned down for being white, any attorneys out

1:31:04

there. And one guy reached out

1:31:06

and goes, I'm a discrimination attorney. He goes, this is

1:31:08

one of the most clear acts

1:31:10

of discrimination I've ever seen. He said,

1:31:12

it's so clear cut.

1:31:16

And so that was a couple

1:31:18

of years ago. So it's an ongoing thing. These

1:31:20

things take a long time, but.

1:31:22

And so what are you, you're suing for

1:31:25

discrimination? Is that what you're suing for? Yeah,

1:31:27

yeah, yeah. Every race is protected

1:31:29

under the civil rights

1:31:32

laws. There's no. Isn't that crazy

1:31:34

though, that they would think they're

1:31:36

so captured by this fucking mind

1:31:38

virus that they would think

1:31:40

it's okay to be racist to white people.

1:31:42

Not only okay, but like celebratory. Yeah. Wild.

1:31:45

Yeah, and I don't let people fucking do

1:31:48

that to me. People think I'm just this

1:31:50

nice little, I'm a fucking animal. When

1:31:53

you grow up in a crazy environment and

1:31:55

you survive it, man, it's

1:31:57

like fucking come at me. I

1:32:00

said, I'm gonna, it's a hill I'll die on, I

1:32:02

don't care. I was like, this is

1:32:04

war, we are in a full-blown culture war. And

1:32:07

I would give up everything for it.

1:32:10

Because I also

1:32:13

owe it to, you

1:32:15

know, people that can't fight for themselves. I

1:32:18

had this 10 year period where this shit

1:32:20

wasn't going on. I built up my acting

1:32:22

chops, my comedy chops, with nobody saying, you

1:32:24

can't do that, you can't say that. And

1:32:26

so I had this kind of, you know,

1:32:29

this energy. I

1:32:31

go, I have to, no one's gonna do it

1:32:34

for you, you know? I saw Jordan Peterson fight

1:32:36

for that Bill C-16 thing. And

1:32:39

I go, holy shit, watching, it's

1:32:42

worth watching the Congressional hearing in Canada

1:32:44

where he's explaining, you can't compel speech,

1:32:46

you can't tell somebody, you have to

1:32:48

say my pronouns, or you go to

1:32:51

jail. He's like, this is gonna get

1:32:53

out of fucking control. Everything he said came

1:32:55

true. I had him

1:32:57

on at the beginning of that stuff.

1:33:00

And I remember people saying to me, like,

1:33:02

why do you care about what happens? These

1:33:05

obscure moments that happen in these

1:33:07

universities. And I had Brett

1:33:09

Weinstein on after the Evergreen College thing, same kind

1:33:11

of thing. And I

1:33:14

was saying, like, do you know, these people are gonna

1:33:16

graduate. Do you understand what, this

1:33:18

is the future. These attitudes

1:33:20

that are being, these kids

1:33:22

are being indoctrinated into these mindsets,

1:33:25

they're gonna expand and they're

1:33:27

gonna be involved in the workplace and they're

1:33:29

gonna be involved in politics and culture. This

1:33:32

mind virus is going to go everywhere.

1:33:34

And you gotta say what it is. You

1:33:36

gotta call it out when you see it.

1:33:39

This is kinda crazy. And

1:33:42

obviously all these years later, I mean, this was like 2016, I

1:33:44

guess. So here

1:33:46

we are, you know. Well,

1:33:48

he's part of the reason I pursued this, Jordan,

1:33:51

because I just, he's like, you have to tell

1:33:53

the truth. That's it. Tell the truth. Or

1:33:55

tell the truth or at least don't lie. You

1:33:57

know, it's like, well, it's like you can't bloody.

1:33:59

I just upheld my speech, you know? That's

1:34:02

a pretty good impression. Clean your damn room, you know?

1:34:04

It's like finger a cat, rescue your father from the

1:34:06

belt. It's like, well, you know, it's like, you

1:34:09

know. I had to develop that one. That's

1:34:11

a good one. You know why? Because I

1:34:13

was in a little emasculated little he-him living

1:34:16

in New York, and I

1:34:18

would sit in my room and watch his

1:34:20

lectures with my fucking head would explode. I

1:34:22

go, holy, this is all the shit that

1:34:24

I think and feel, but I haven't been

1:34:26

able to articulate. He's a brilliant guy. And

1:34:29

my life changed forever. Once I heard him

1:34:31

say that, tell the truth, at least don't lie,

1:34:33

and my life has changed. That

1:34:36

video of him with Kathy Newman, have

1:34:38

you seen that? That's amazing. I watch that every week.

1:34:41

Yeah, it's amazing. It's a masterclass in how people

1:34:43

will try to bend your way, and he does

1:34:45

not bend. He'll be like, well,

1:34:48

you know, women need to like, contend in the

1:34:50

workplace. So what you're saying is women should just

1:34:52

be raped in the break room. It's like, no,

1:34:54

it's like, I'm not saying that. It's

1:34:57

a funny conversation because it's all that

1:34:59

gotcha shit gone wrong because

1:35:01

you're doing it with a skilled person,

1:35:03

a skilled linguist, and someone who really

1:35:06

understands what he's saying and has a

1:35:08

deep understanding of the history of

1:35:11

Marxist and Leninist philosophy and what

1:35:13

it leads to, what communism

1:35:15

and socialism actually leads to. What

1:35:17

you're actually saying is by forcing

1:35:20

people to comply, there's

1:35:23

only one way you force people to comply, and

1:35:26

that's violence. That is the only way. Ultimately, it

1:35:28

will, we're gonna put you in jail. What happens

1:35:30

if I resist? We're gonna kill you. It gets

1:35:32

to that. It gets to violence. We're gonna grab you, we're

1:35:34

gonna hunt you down, we're gonna put you in a cage,

1:35:36

and then we're gonna force everybody else to comply as well,

1:35:38

and this is what he's saying. It's like, you cannot

1:35:41

go down this path if you do

1:35:43

not know where it leads to. You

1:35:45

can't think you're being virtuous by standing

1:35:47

up for this disenfranchised and imposing this,

1:35:50

especially the gender pronoun thing, which

1:35:52

at that point in time, there

1:35:54

was 78 different recognized gender pronouns.

1:35:56

Yeah. Like, who knows how many there are

1:35:58

now? Like, now it's nuts. Not a thousand. It's just

1:36:00

like people just make things up and that's what's the

1:36:02

fun thing about tick-tock. China is so

1:36:05

clever Oh my god, they're so good with

1:36:07

to tick-tock is so good It's

1:36:09

so they're so smart what they

1:36:11

did and then to show you these

1:36:14

outrageous people Over and over

1:36:16

again with fake eyelashes reading stories to

1:36:18

kids just freaking everybody out with a

1:36:20

bunch of different You know, I'm two-spirit

1:36:22

and I'm this and that and I'm

1:36:25

trans masculine with the fucking the whole

1:36:27

thing is just nuts And then shutting

1:36:29

down free speech. I mean I've

1:36:31

been I've been banned for shut down for

1:36:33

three years They froze my I was going

1:36:36

for all my and damn it shit. Oh,

1:36:38

they check talk. They banned you. What'd you

1:36:40

1:36:42

don't have to be times being white boy.

1:36:44

I was texting on white Yeah, they don't

1:36:46

have to tell you that's part of when

1:36:48

you sign up, right? Especially tick-tock and it's

1:36:50

common. It's a communist Chinese. We are let

1:36:53

it's an act of war living in our pocket I

1:36:56

can't believe it's the one I don't use well, I

1:36:58

was telling you I changed my name

1:37:01

to queer disabled comedian And

1:37:03

suddenly they let me I started

1:37:05

getting ad offers from tick-tock And

1:37:10

then when I did the the bit about

1:37:13

where I come out on stages gay that was

1:37:15

the first video that they let Kind

1:37:17

of through because because the

1:37:19

algorithm let it through probably reviewed

1:37:22

eventually Yeah, it just

1:37:24

got removed I just

1:37:26

posted it again because I'm like fuck you

1:37:28

so I keep posting these things over and

1:37:30

over You just posted under different names. Yeah.

1:37:32

Yeah, my youngest daughter is obsessed with the

1:37:34

vegan teacher The vegan teachers is

1:37:37

crazy lady on tick-tock That's like this crazy

1:37:39

vegan lady and she keeps getting banned And

1:37:41

so they keep bringing her she keeps making up new

1:37:44

accounts and coming back So

1:37:49

they what I do on stage I keep coming up

1:37:51

with new identities to see what I can get away

1:37:53

with was this oh This is

1:37:55

his yeah, that's been frozen for

1:37:57

three years Wow. Yeah

1:38:00

And look at the first video like that's how many views

1:38:02

all of my videos used to get 3.1 million Yeah,

1:38:05

I was blowing up like I was getting like

1:38:07

ten twenty thousand followers a day and then uh,

1:38:09

wow Yeah, wow

1:38:12

and that's the difference between a comic selling out

1:38:14

a theater and Half

1:38:17

filling a club. Yeah, you know that

1:38:19

type of exposure. Oh for sure. Especially

1:38:21

comically He was actually very funny when

1:38:23

you have these Messages

1:38:25

that come and say that

1:38:27

your accounts being frozen. They

1:38:29

don't give you any reason

1:38:31

do they say non-compliance or

1:38:33

community standards? Say disinformation hateful

1:38:35

behavior. What did they say?

1:38:38

Each one is different You know mean like

1:38:40

each video when they pulled your account, what

1:38:42

did they say? Oh, yeah hateful behavior Hey,

1:38:45

my Instagram got pulled too. No,

1:38:47

oh, bro. That's when I lost it When

1:38:49

did that was the only back now, right?

1:38:51

It's back. I by the grace of

1:38:53

God I met somebody outside the comedy seller and

1:38:56

she goes can I follow you on Instagram? I said

1:38:58

no, I'm like they just they just banned my account

1:39:00

and that was the only way I was making money

1:39:03

Was selling tickets from my Instagram videos and

1:39:05

going on the road and this

1:39:07

girl said I she goes I just quit working

1:39:10

there and and I said can

1:39:12

they just turn you off and on she goes? Yeah I

1:39:15

go, can you have my account turn back

1:39:17

on? She was absolutely She

1:39:19

gave I gave her my information. She sent it to

1:39:22

somebody in Instagram. They just flipped the switch switch back

1:39:24

on the next day I was back So

1:39:27

is it just completely subjective based on one employee

1:39:30

decides? You're offensive. Yes,

1:39:32

they have a whole fucking department and if

1:39:34

they go well, they got two complaints or

1:39:37

whatever he's being transphobic or whatever the fuck

1:39:39

bullshit is going on at the time and

1:39:42

That you can't have that with art. No,

1:39:45

especially not comedy especially not calm I

1:39:47

mean the whole idea is to push

1:39:50

limits and the whole idea is to

1:39:52

like walk that crazy line and say

1:39:54

wild shit for fun It's just fun.

1:39:56

These aren't like you can't put them

1:39:59

in the same categories as hate

1:40:01

speech because no one's trying to be

1:40:03

hateful they're just trying to get laughs

1:40:05

and they're getting laughs oftentimes by saying

1:40:07

something that the audience knows they don't

1:40:09

mean they're saying it because it's funny

1:40:11

not because it's true not because they

1:40:13

want you to think it's true because

1:40:15

it's a ridiculous thing to say and

1:40:18

it's a funny thing to say and

1:40:20

when you hear the audience laugh that

1:40:23

means it worked it was effective it

1:40:25

doesn't mean you can then put that

1:40:27

in print and say that this is

1:40:30

an anti LBGTQT who gets to decide

1:40:32

AI to who gets

1:40:34

to decide it's like it'd be

1:40:36

like pointing to a random person in the

1:40:38

crowd at the mothership going you get to

1:40:40

1:41:09

browsing history while that's some talking about friend of

1:41:15

1:41:17

do whatever the fuck you want there I got

1:41:19

banned the day where we key actually

1:41:22

I had his attorney reach out to him

1:41:24

personally because I was banned right

1:41:26

before he started and and

1:41:29

I go oh Elon's taking over I'm they're

1:41:31

gonna give me my account back and you

1:41:33

know it just didn't happen and

1:41:36

I was doing an RFK

1:41:38

fundraiser I was doing stand-up with

1:41:40

RFK jr. and his

1:41:42

attorney Elon's attorney was there and

1:41:45

he and she texted him or something

1:41:48

1:41:50

you know so well it's pretty funny

1:41:52

we'll get it right we're gonna get it going again

1:41:54

so well there's no way he could have known I

1:41:56

mean there's so no there's so many fucking I can't

1:41:58

I'm about bunch of people

1:42:00

that had gotten unfairly banned, including

1:42:03

Megan Murphy, who got unfairly banned for saying

1:42:05

that a man is never a woman. They

1:42:08

banned her forever. Well, good.

1:42:10

Now she's back. Fucking racist. She's a

1:42:12

feminist. It's so crazy. She

1:42:15

was just arguing that trans men

1:42:18

or trans women are invading women's

1:42:20

spaces and imposing masculine behavior

1:42:22

and masculine character. They're acting like

1:42:24

men and taking over women's spaces.

1:42:27

Well, that was actually the only way to get

1:42:29

a movie role for me. I was in that

1:42:31

Daily Wire lady ball. And

1:42:34

I thought, how funny that I get kind of

1:42:36

canceled for being a white guy. And

1:42:39

now the first role, actually, no, I was

1:42:41

in the Western with Gina Carano. Oh,

1:42:44

the one with cowboy? Yeah. Cowboys are

1:42:46

all right to kick him in the fucking nuts. Did you? Got

1:42:48

to beat the shit out of him. That's hilarious.

1:42:51

That must have been terrifying. Oh, we fought every

1:42:53

day. Yeah, he almost killed me. That must have

1:42:55

been terrifying. There was a scene where fake hit

1:42:57

that guy. No, not fake. He goes, fucking get

1:42:59

me in the nuts. And he goes, so he

1:43:01

had me actually kick me in the nuts. Do

1:43:03

you have a cup on? No. And

1:43:05

I was like, dude, if you're fucking with me and I do

1:43:07

this and you kill me, this is not. And

1:43:10

he's like, fucking. And I ran and kicked him

1:43:12

in the nuts. We had to do it like five

1:43:14

times. Oh my God. That guy is an animal. Oh,

1:43:16

he's a savage. He would be like, let's just improvise

1:43:18

the fight scenes. I'm like, I'm

1:43:20

a Lego next to you, dude. Yeah.

1:43:24

He's too wild. He's

1:43:27

wild. He's so crazy. And

1:43:29

Gina, man, she is a monster. I

1:43:31

mean, the stuff she had to do

1:43:33

in that film every day, get fucking

1:43:35

killed and raped and beat up and

1:43:38

she, they found me on Instagram. I

1:43:42

was on my couch depressed and

1:43:44

I got a DM,

1:43:46

do you want to interview or audition for the

1:43:48

new Gina Carona movie? That's great.

1:43:51

And she just, she's suing Disney right

1:43:53

now. Yeah. I

1:43:55

mean, she should win. I hope so. I

1:43:57

mean, what she did was, I mean, the whole thing is just so, everyone's so.

1:44:00

crazy. Everybody

1:44:02

gets so nuts and it happens so

1:44:04

fast. It's a wild

1:44:06

ride from like 2017 on. It's

1:44:10

like once Trump got into office, there

1:44:12

was like all the women's marches. Remember

1:44:14

those? Yeah, that's where I got pussy.

1:44:17

Yeah, but those were like everybody,

1:44:19

they were women. It was

1:44:22

just women. Yeah. It wasn't like,

1:44:24

what's a woman? No. It's like

1:44:26

there they are. No. Women are

1:44:28

marching. Pussy hat's on. There's no dudes

1:44:30

and wigs. A couple years, this mass

1:44:33

wave of confusion just goes through the

1:44:35

culture and everybody's at each

1:44:37

other's throats on social media. I

1:44:39

never like

1:44:42

interact on social media. I just don't

1:44:44

do it. You can't. I

1:44:46

don't think it's good for you. You can't. Yeah,

1:44:48

I think it's- I've taken the bait a couple

1:44:50

times. I mean, you know, it's, if you're just

1:44:52

a regular person and then suddenly start blowing

1:44:54

up or whatever and people are calling you

1:44:56

all the worst possible names in the world.

1:44:59

It's a little alarming at first and you

1:45:01

want to defend yourself, but now, I mean,

1:45:03

you can't. I think if you wanted

1:45:05

to really engage people on actual ideas, you'd have

1:45:07

to do it anonymously. I think

1:45:09

if you really want to, like, if you want to

1:45:12

have honest discussions with people

1:45:14

publicly about stuff, you're

1:45:16

really better off doing it anonymously. Because if

1:45:18

you did it anonymously, and I don't have

1:45:20

any desire to do this either, but if

1:45:22

you do it anonymously, at least you could-

1:45:24

there's no personal attacks. No one knows who

1:45:26

you are. No one knows anything about you.

1:45:28

You could just talk about this issue. You

1:45:30

know, whatever the issue is, like AI,

1:45:33

whatever it is, whatever it is, is people are

1:45:35

debating online. You could have discussions about it. You

1:45:38

know, like people do on 4chan or

1:45:40

something like that or Reddit. Like, you have a

1:45:42

fucking crazy fake screen name. No one has to

1:45:44

know who you are. And you can talk about

1:45:46

things. But if you're a public

1:45:48

person like you are and you're going- like,

1:45:50

I see people arguing with people back and

1:45:52

forth about the quality of their work. Musicians

1:45:56

arguing with fans or trolls about whether

1:45:58

or not they're last- album was good.

1:46:00

I'm like, what are you doing, man? You

1:46:03

were inviting mental illness into your home. You

1:46:06

got to disconnect. Disconnect, man. Disconnect.

1:46:08

Most people are not disconnected because

1:46:10

it is the one form of

1:46:12

conflict that they can engage in

1:46:14

that doesn't really have consequences, unless

1:46:16

you say something really crazy and

1:46:18

then it goes public. But that's

1:46:20

pretty rare. Most people are just

1:46:22

attacking people randomly, getting out their

1:46:24

aggression, just attacking people and engaging

1:46:26

in arguments online. It's like, my

1:46:28

God. It's a great distraction, though.

1:46:31

To make it in our industry, it takes 100%

1:46:33

of your time and effort.

1:46:36

I'm in almost 20 years to

1:46:38

the point where I can now

1:46:41

not worry about feeding myself.

1:46:43

Well, you came to my attention because of

1:46:46

the videos. That's what I found out about

1:46:48

you. And then comics. Comics will all

1:46:50

have very high praise of you. So that's a nice

1:46:52

thing to know. It's a nice thing to know. Hey,

1:46:55

hey, comedy. That

1:46:57

was actually Mark Norman laughing at your

1:46:59

jokes when you were new was like

1:47:01

the first Tonight Show. Oh, yeah. And

1:47:04

he would just go, ha. So

1:47:06

all the comics, that became the way

1:47:08

to let somebody know you were good.

1:47:10

Everyone would do the Mark Norman laugh.

1:47:13

So nobody would actually give a genuine laugh.

1:47:15

But if you're like, hey, ha, ha, ha,

1:47:17

you're like, all right. Someone says that's a

1:47:19

good one. Yeah, because a lot of times

1:47:21

when someone has a really funny joke, I'm

1:47:23

always like, ah, that's good. That's

1:47:25

good. You know, that's the same thing. Yeah. And

1:47:27

you know what I did actually, because

1:47:29

I was so afraid to say

1:47:32

what I actually thought, I started doing impressions because

1:47:34

I would do my joke, my I would get

1:47:36

my real thoughts out through my impressions and people

1:47:38

would link it to them. So like, I'd be

1:47:41

talking about feminism doing Bill Burby like, right, I

1:47:43

went out with this girl last night, this fucking

1:47:45

cunt, right? Actually, toxic masculine,

1:47:47

right? It's fucking brutal, right? I

1:47:49

got to listen to that shit on a fucking Monday.

1:47:52

And everybody would erupt and I'd go, oh my

1:47:55

God, they think that was Bill Burst's thought. That

1:47:58

was me. Right. And so my whole The whole

1:48:00

act became just doing Trump,

1:48:03

all sorts of stuff. And I'm pulling back from that

1:48:05

a little now that I have some balls. I've grown

1:48:07

some balls. But it's still a fun way to do

1:48:09

it. It's still a fun way to do it. Yeah.

1:48:12

It's a nice little way that you

1:48:14

can sneak things in. Yeah. Yeah.

1:48:18

Do you do it? You're pretty good at

1:48:20

them. Impressions? Yeah. I have

1:48:22

a limited range. The ones that I do, I can do good, but

1:48:24

I have a limited range. Have you

1:48:26

ever done them on stage? Yeah.

1:48:29

I used to do a Mike Tyson impression. Because

1:48:31

Mike Tyson yelled at some guy in the audience that

1:48:33

he would fuck until he loved him. And

1:48:36

I was like, do you have any idea how long that

1:48:38

would take? And he

1:48:40

would have to decide. He would have to decide if

1:48:42

he loved him. Oh yeah, I remember that. I could

1:48:44

do Tyson. I could do a

1:48:46

few different people. It's so funny

1:48:48

when people say it's cheap or stupid. I go,

1:48:50

you just did an impression of your mom or

1:48:52

the mailman. Everybody's doing, you know.

1:48:55

Fuck those people. Yeah. It's

1:48:58

funny, it's funny. If it's good, it's good. If it's

1:49:00

not good, you won't laugh. That's it. End

1:49:02

of story. Do you need this later? Yeah, thanks.

1:49:06

We all know cheap stuff, but cheap stuff's not

1:49:08

impressions. Some great people

1:49:10

do great impressions, and it's part of the

1:49:12

fun of watching them on stage. Like

1:49:15

when Shane does Trump. Yeah. You know,

1:49:17

it's like, it's so good. It's so crazy good,

1:49:19

where he does Conor McGregor. It's

1:49:21

like, it's fun. I haven't heard of

1:49:23

Conor McGregor. Yeah, he does Conor McGregor

1:49:25

in Roadhouse. It's very funny. But

1:49:28

it's just, it's fun. And the crowd

1:49:30

loves it, and you're there to please the crowd. I

1:49:32

am one of the crowd. I love it. Yeah.

1:49:36

You know, this idea, this, it's all

1:49:38

perpetrated by artists who can't, either can't

1:49:40

do the impressions or under this false

1:49:43

idea that there's like a way

1:49:45

that you're supposed to do comedy.

1:49:47

Like there was an alt way that you were supposed to do comedy where

1:49:49

you weren't supposed to try hard. Oh, God. There

1:49:51

was a lot of that. There was a lot of that. And if you

1:49:53

acted things out or you have too much energy, they didn't like

1:49:56

you. Like you were supposed to not try and you were

1:49:58

supposed to just stand there and be kind of modest. Monotone

1:50:00

ish. Yeah, that's why I didn't

1:50:02

I don't really hang out with comedians or I

1:50:04

am now a little bit because it's a little

1:50:06

More comfortable at the mothership, but I

1:50:08

didn't like those things getting in my head and

1:50:11

then thinking are these comics judging me in

1:50:13

the back Or what I really are who cares

1:50:15

they know they are the ones who do suck

1:50:17

But when you're new when you're fresh and you're

1:50:19

malleable, you know, you need to you need to

1:50:22

grow like a foundation Well, a lot of people

1:50:24

get sucked down that road They get sucked down

1:50:26

that road in life and not just in

1:50:28

comedy but in pretty much every world every Community

1:50:31

you get sucked into the ideas of the

1:50:33

peers you want to fit in you want

1:50:36

to be one You gotta lift the top

1:50:38

member. Oh pop the top It's

1:50:40

like the ideas of your peers you get

1:50:42

sucked into this idea that this is the

1:50:44

way I'm supposed to think and behave This

1:50:47

is the way I'm supposed to perform my art. This

1:50:49

is supposed to way like when I first started out

1:50:52

Everybody had to be clean you had to be a

1:50:54

clean comedian Yeah So I started out was the 80s

1:50:57

the lady I was starting in 88 and that was

1:50:59

the time where everybody wanted to get on the tonight

1:51:01

Show and everybody wanted to get a sitcom So

1:51:04

you develop this like squeaky clean?

1:51:07

Television-friendly act and if you didn't have

1:51:09

a squeaky clean television friendly act, oh

1:51:11

this fucking idiot. He's just gonna do

1:51:13

the road You're just gonna be a

1:51:15

road act and that's what I was. I

1:51:17

barely got work in town do Carson or

1:51:19

anything. No No, I

1:51:22

I never did any of those talk shows until I

1:51:25

became a guest because I was on a television show

1:51:27

Like I fear fact or something like that I just

1:51:29

sat down and talked to like Conan O'Brien like that

1:51:31

kind of thing But I didn't do

1:51:34

stand-up on it first of all cuz I didn't like that

1:51:36

kind of stand-up I didn't like five minutes that

1:51:38

that that drove me nuts I had done a

1:51:40

couple of things like I did the MTV half-hour

1:51:42

comedy hour and a couple of those other TV

1:51:44

type shows But that

1:51:46

wasn't I wanted to be a club comic. That's all

1:51:48

I wanted to do I wanted to be a professional

1:51:50

club comic and I remember everybody

1:51:53

saying you're never gonna get work and ever gonna get

1:51:55

work and Part of

1:51:57

me was like I don't I mean I remember had this conversation

1:51:59

once with this And he was the host

1:52:01

of open mic night and he said listen you

1:52:03

got to change your act You're never gonna work,

1:52:05

and he was a professional And

1:52:08

he was like doing okay. He's pretty good like

1:52:10

a professional like a local Middle-act type

1:52:12

guy that had like a competent 20 minutes. It

1:52:14

was not bad wasn't good, but back then I

1:52:16

thought it was that's even as I was 21.

1:52:18

I actually saw him live before

1:52:22

I ever got paid to do comedy I went to see Dom

1:52:24

Ira and he was one of the opening acts and When

1:52:28

he told me that he

1:52:30

was like you're never gonna get any work

1:52:32

you got to stop swearing Yes, and I

1:52:34

go but all my favorite comedians are like

1:52:36

Andrew dice clay goes you're not dice clay

1:52:38

Yeah, I go I was like okay, but at

1:52:40

one point in time dice clay He's like look you

1:52:43

don't have to listen, but you're not gonna have a

1:52:45

career And you're like fucking stormed away left you feeling

1:52:47

like shit and then Four

1:52:49

or five years later. I came back to

1:52:51

the club headlining because I was

1:52:54

on news radio Yeah, and the place

1:52:56

was sold out and he

1:52:58

said what do you want me to say? I

1:53:00

go tell them you gave me the worst advice

1:53:02

that anybody ever gave me and then tell them

1:53:04

all the TV credits that I Have that you

1:53:06

don't have and

1:53:08

he just like like Shook

1:53:11

his head a little bit and just walked away cuz he

1:53:13

was right cuz he was still the same guy He was

1:53:15

still trapped. He was still a shitty mediocre

1:53:18

and a barely funny act that

1:53:20

was passable under the best conditions

1:53:23

possible only But like you would

1:53:25

never repeat his jokes at a party nothing He said

1:53:27

it was ever fun, and I went

1:53:29

up and killed and it was it was

1:53:31

so good It was fun And I was

1:53:33

a sweet little dirty and but this like

1:53:35

there was like a lot of the comedians

1:53:37

back then like the or Established guys were

1:53:39

actually angry that I had succeeded with a

1:53:41

dirty act because I was on television Like

1:53:44

I remember one of them saying I

1:53:46

can't believe they gave him a job with

1:53:48

fucking Disney Disney hired him because

1:53:51

Disney was where I got my first development deal and

1:53:53

they're like fucking Disney have they ever seen his blowjob

1:53:55

jokes like Disney and I

1:53:57

was like that shit's on Disney now It's

1:54:00

come full circle. It's

1:54:02

where kids are learning. But back then,

1:54:04

it was everybody wanted to

1:54:06

be clean. And so there was a

1:54:08

lot of peer pressure, so I tried.

1:54:11

I tried. I tried to conform my

1:54:13

act. I tried to write material that

1:54:15

was not me. Can't do it. I

1:54:17

was a 21-year-old animal who was a

1:54:19

kickboxer. That's all I was doing. My

1:54:22

whole childhood from 15 to 21 was me traveling

1:54:26

around the country, trying to kick people

1:54:28

unconscious. And then all of a

1:54:30

sudden, I'm in this new environment where

1:54:32

everybody's hypersensitive, and everybody wants you to

1:54:34

be clean, and everybody wants you to

1:54:36

do these jokes that, to me, were just like,

1:54:39

I want to hear wild shit.

1:54:41

I like wild shit. I got into comedy because

1:54:43

I saw Kinison. Yeah. I got into comedy because

1:54:45

I saw, I want to do wild shit. That's

1:54:47

what I wanted. You are a

1:54:49

fucking animal on stage. It's

1:54:51

like watching a wild animal. But it's

1:54:54

just you. You're just letting your fucking self come

1:54:56

out. It's just who I am. I mean, that's

1:54:58

just me being what I think is funny, my

1:55:00

kind of comedy. You don't have to like it.

1:55:02

A lot of people don't. That's OK. That's

1:55:04

what I like. But that's all music,

1:55:06

man. There's people

1:55:08

that don't like the Black Keys. I

1:55:12

don't understand them because I

1:55:14

love them. So I listen to the Black Keys.

1:55:16

I'm like, fuck yeah. And some people are like,

1:55:18

ugh. OK. Just

1:55:20

don't watch it. But this is just life. But

1:55:22

when you're in an environment where people are telling

1:55:24

you it's on an alt environment, and all of

1:55:27

your peers, and all the people that are so

1:55:29

desperately trying to succeed, because you've

1:55:32

achieved a level of comfort now, so you

1:55:34

can look back on it because it's not

1:55:36

that long ago where you didn't know if

1:55:39

it was going to work out. And that

1:55:41

moment when you're starting out, whether it's comedy

1:55:43

or anything, martial arts, fucking everything I would

1:55:45

imagine, when you're endeavoring,

1:55:48

when you're entering into this like

1:55:51

crazy world of possibilities, this might not work.

1:55:54

What are the odds of it? How

1:55:56

many comedians who do an open mic

1:55:58

night ever become a pro? Professional headliner

1:56:01

god damn it. It's not even one out

1:56:03

of a thousand. No, it's a nutty number

1:56:06

No, so if that was your child or

1:56:09

a really good friend you would say oh my god

1:56:11

Don't do this like this is not it's not gonna

1:56:13

work out for you Yeah, you're gonna be that 40

1:56:15

year old loser staying on people's couches with no future

1:56:18

fuck man. Don't do this So when

1:56:20

you're in that environment Like the alt scene when

1:56:22

no one's really quite sure and then there's a

1:56:24

few people that have made it a little bit

1:56:27

and those Are the ones that kind of set

1:56:29

the standards and they behave that way and everybody

1:56:31

else wants to be like them So on it

1:56:33

and they just want to be liked by everybody

1:56:36

else. Everybody conforms. Everybody becomes like this same thing

1:56:38

It's that group identity thing. I mean, which

1:56:40

is really what why things are crumbling right?

1:56:42

Yeah, you can't have it There is no

1:56:44

there's no community any person that

1:56:47

tells me I'm in a community You're

1:56:49

a child if your community is

1:56:51

not your close friends and your family. Yeah, and

1:56:53

you say you're in a community You're

1:56:56

a child. Mm-hmm. There isn't there's

1:56:58

no comedy community. They're a bunch

1:57:00

of them Yeah, they're little

1:57:02

microcosms of groups of people Yeah,

1:57:05

but once you have said this is our group

1:57:07

identity like this is what white men are this

1:57:09

is what black woman women are it's well,

1:57:12

one of the nice things about the club is

1:57:15

That when we hired Adam Eget to take over and

1:57:17

be the town quarter What are they one of things

1:57:19

that we were real clear because he was experiencing a

1:57:21

lot of pressure in LA Like you

1:57:23

get pressure like why don't you have more women on the lineup?

1:57:26

Why don't you have more this in the lineup? How come you

1:57:28

have any gay people? How come you know this I

1:57:30

said listen man This is going to

1:57:32

be this club is going to be 100%

1:57:34

of meritocracy. I do not give a fuck

1:57:37

about any mandates I don't give a fuck

1:57:39

all I care is if you're funny if

1:57:41

you're a funny trans person your funny gay

1:57:43

person You're funny white guy. You're funny black

1:57:45

lady. Who fucking cares. Are you funny?

1:57:47

And if you're funny you're in and

1:57:50

Because of that look how fucking diverse

1:57:53

the lineup that's what happens Especially

1:57:55

with the people coming up. There's all kinds

1:57:57

of different kinds of people from all kinds

1:58:00

of different walks of life with totally

1:58:02

different styles on stage. There's

1:58:04

so many different styles and

1:58:06

complete freedom, complete freedom to

1:58:08

try and Adam is so smart

1:58:11

that he'll have these conversations with these people and

1:58:13

he'll be like, I see what you're trying to

1:58:15

do. You know, just, you just got to like,

1:58:18

got to hone it in, figured it out.

1:58:20

Like I see you're trying to say it

1:58:22

like this, but maybe like there's a way

1:58:24

to say it that like makes the same

1:58:26

point, but it's not as clunky. So

1:58:29

valuable. That doesn't happen in New

1:58:31

York. It's like you're out if you're

1:58:33

not doing what we want and you don't know

1:58:36

what they want because it changes. So

1:58:38

well, it's good for us. It's

1:58:40

good for us. It's like helping recruiting tremendously.

1:58:42

When I met Adam, I was

1:58:45

like in shock. I go, this

1:58:47

is so foreign to me. A booker who's

1:58:49

like wants to work with you

1:58:52

and like, and we'll take a

1:58:54

risk and like invest in your talent. And he

1:58:56

was one of Norm McDonald's best friends. He did

1:58:58

a show with Norm. The guy knows comedy inside

1:59:00

and out. And I've known Adam for at

1:59:02

least 20 years. At

1:59:05

least I knew Adam when he was working

1:59:07

at the Tempe improv back when

1:59:09

I would just do the road there. And I became

1:59:11

friends with him then. And then he came to me

1:59:13

when I was banned from the comedy store. He

1:59:16

came to me in 2007. I

1:59:19

left the comedy store in 2007 over that Carl

1:59:21

Smith Sia thing. And

1:59:24

so I told him, I'm like, I'm never coming back.

1:59:26

I'm like, I'm gone. You've never gone back? I did.

1:59:29

I went back in 2014. But one of the reasons I went back

1:59:31

is the guy that was running it was fired. They

1:59:33

caught him stealing money. He got fired. And

1:59:35

then Adam, he get took over. And when Adam

1:59:38

took over, Adam came to visit me at the improv and

1:59:40

I was performing the improv and he's like, I'd really love

1:59:42

to have you back at the store. I'm

1:59:44

like, dude, I don't know if I could fucking go back

1:59:46

there, man. I

1:59:48

said I was never going back, that the whole thing

1:59:51

was so fucked up. He's like, you know, but that

1:59:53

guy's gone and it's different now. And we're trying to

1:59:55

bring the comic store back. And

1:59:57

so the reason why I did go back though

1:59:59

was because Arie Shafir was feeling a special there.

2:00:03

And I had been friends with Arie when Arie

2:00:05

was a doorman. I met Arie when Arie was

2:00:08

just starting out. He was this young, fresh-faced doorman

2:00:10

who just abandoned religion really recently. And so he

2:00:12

was like this young kid and he was funny.

2:00:14

And I became friends with him and then I

2:00:17

started taking him on the road with me. After

2:00:20

a couple years of him, you know, like seeing him

2:00:22

perform, I gave him some spots outside of town. I

2:00:24

took him to Denver. He killed. I'm

2:00:27

like, God damn. And so I helped. And I brought

2:00:29

him in front of all these crowds. I gave him the

2:00:31

kind of advice that I would want someone to give to

2:00:33

me. Him

2:00:35

performing at the comedy store, having

2:00:37

a Comedy Central special and doing

2:00:39

it at the comedy store to

2:00:42

me was like, I have to

2:00:44

be there. I have to. I

2:00:46

have to see that. I have to be there.

2:00:49

I have to support him. I'm so proud of

2:00:51

him. I'm so happy. I

2:00:53

had to go there. So I went there

2:00:55

the day before. The

2:00:57

day I went, I saw Roast Battle and

2:01:00

I was like, this is amazing. It

2:01:03

was so vibrant and so alive.

2:01:05

And the place was packed. We're

2:01:07

upstairs. And I was one of

2:01:09

the judges. Like you'd have a judge, like that

2:01:11

gets to judge the roasts. And

2:01:13

we had so much fun. And Jeff Ross was hosting

2:01:15

it. And it

2:01:18

was just the whole thing. The

2:01:20

whole thing was just. It

2:01:23

was so vibrant. I

2:01:27

was like, this is like a writing exercise.

2:01:29

This is like, I mean,

2:01:31

it's a roast battle. Roast

2:01:33

battles are you're picking on someone. Yes. But

2:01:36

it's really just a writing exercise

2:01:39

with one specific target. That's

2:01:41

all it is. One topic to stay on.

2:01:43

And Brian Moses is an amazing host to

2:01:45

that too. He's so good because he's so

2:01:47

likable. He's so fun. And he

2:01:49

even makes people hug it out. You know, like

2:01:52

at the end, we're all going to hug. Like,

2:01:54

you know, it's nice. He

2:01:56

does a great job of like keeping it

2:01:58

peaceful and playful. And then. I remember

2:02:00

being there for that and going,

2:02:02

okay, I think I gotta come back. And

2:02:06

then the next day, Ari did

2:02:08

his special, it was amazing, I couldn't believe,

2:02:10

I was like, this is just so crazy to see him

2:02:14

filming a special at the Comedy Store from

2:02:16

knowing him for being a doorman. Yeah. You

2:02:18

know, and now here he is. You see

2:02:21

people get so good so fast. Yeah.

2:02:23

Because I only know him as a killer.

2:02:25

I have no concept of Ari or any

2:02:28

of those guys when they start. Yeah, it's

2:02:30

one of the cool things about getting to

2:02:32

see someone from the very beginning. You

2:02:34

know, when I saw Tony Hinchcliffe,

2:02:37

I think he had been doing comedy five or six years

2:02:39

when I first met him. Yeah,

2:02:41

now look at him. He's so funny, dude. He's the best.

2:02:44

Tony is the best roaster on planet Earth. There's

2:02:46

no one better. And he'll do it off the

2:02:48

cuff. He can do it off the

2:02:50

cuff better than anybody alive. Yeah, it's so good

2:02:52

you think, oh, this is all pre-written. And then

2:02:54

you go, no, he just picked all this, you

2:02:56

know, I watch him in the mothership. Dude, he

2:02:58

does it in the green room all the time.

2:03:00

Him and David Lucas, I keep telling them this,

2:03:03

god damn it, you motherfuckers, do a show together.

2:03:05

The two of them together are magic. It

2:03:08

brings out the absolute best in David

2:03:10

Lucas because David Lucas goes savage on

2:03:12

Tony and Tony goes savage on it.

2:03:14

And they're both laughing at each other's

2:03:17

lines. So like he'll clown Tony and

2:03:19

Tony will be dying laughing. Like no

2:03:21

one gets angry and he'll clown David

2:03:24

and David will be dying laughing. Like

2:03:27

personal shit, like about the way

2:03:29

he looks and you know, dying

2:03:31

of diabetes and dying laughing. Imagine

2:03:34

that happening with like young Gen

2:03:36

Z woke people. Like experiencing something.

2:03:38

They should have to go to the mothership

2:03:40

and sit and watch that and go, look,

2:03:43

you can tear somebody down and

2:03:45

it's all fun. It's just funsies. And

2:03:47

one of the things about the mothership

2:03:49

that's so important is Kill Tony. Because

2:03:51

what Kill Tony shows everyone is that

2:03:54

in one minute all you

2:03:56

have the time for is to be funny.

2:03:59

And everything. Funny is rewarded

2:04:01

you could say outrageous things people say

2:04:03

outrageous things on Kill Tony all the time

2:04:06

but if you do well in that one minute

2:04:08

and they give you a big notebook and they

2:04:10

say we're gonna bring you back and Then you

2:04:12

get to get a chance to go back or

2:04:14

you get a golden ticket you get to perform

2:04:16

again Or then you become the newest regular and

2:04:18

now guys have careers Yeah, Cam Patterson has a

2:04:21

fucking thriving career Hans Kim has a thriving

2:04:23

career William Montgomery thriving career David Lucas These

2:04:25

guys are killing it on the road killing

2:04:27

look I should have moved here five years.

2:04:29

No, no, no perfect time Dude, you're doing

2:04:31

great and then the new special that you

2:04:33

just filmed there is coming out. It is.

2:04:35

Yeah Yeah, what are you gonna put it

2:04:37

out? It's it'll be

2:04:39

out probably tonight. Oh shit And

2:04:42

it was it's all election stuff and

2:04:44

I'm not a big fan of themed

2:04:46

comedy specials, but it was

2:04:48

just like Why not? I don't

2:04:51

know. Nobody why not for now? Like well, that's

2:04:53

why I change course and it and

2:04:55

I saw that Biden thing where he's sitting on

2:04:57

the imaginary chair And I go I got to

2:04:59

get this out now And

2:05:02

the weekend was so fun and

2:05:04

that room is magical. It's great

2:05:06

room. I think that building's alive, dude

2:05:09

It feels like it's been there for 20

2:05:12

years. Yeah, it felt like that right away

2:05:15

The building felt like that right away

2:05:17

that building's been there since since

2:05:19

1927 and I have this

2:05:21

thought about things that have been around A long

2:05:23

time. I think memories get baked into buildings I

2:05:25

really do sure when I go to the comedy

2:05:28

store every time I go to the comedy store

2:05:30

I have this feeling you walk

2:05:32

in the hallway. You get this feeling like

2:05:34

wow so much has happened here There's

2:05:37

so many experiences baked into that even when

2:05:39

no one's in that building I used to

2:05:41

like when we were leaving late at night

2:05:44

you know, we'd be hanging out in the

2:05:46

back bar and mitzi's bar and we'd be

2:05:48

Drinking and talking and everybody's like alright time

2:05:50

to go home and we'd go out in

2:05:52

the hallway and You

2:05:55

just feel the building the building

2:05:57

that building's alive. It wouldn't have been the same

2:05:59

if you just built a new construction. It

2:06:01

wouldn't have it would have had that kind

2:06:03

of fresh kind of... We

2:06:05

would have made it alive. We would eventually it

2:06:07

would it would take it a little time. We

2:06:10

brought the right spirit. We brought the spirit of

2:06:12

the Comedy Store to the mothership. You

2:06:14

know we knew what we needed. We knew what we needed because

2:06:17

we already had it. We had it in LA. We

2:06:19

had that we had a home base

2:06:21

and that's what we needed here. Like when

2:06:23

we first moved here I was like God

2:06:25

we don't have a home base. We had

2:06:27

the Vulcan which is great but it wasn't

2:06:29

set up the way I would set it

2:06:31

up. It wasn't ideal. There was a lot

2:06:33

of problems with the dynamics of the and

2:06:36

I was like it's also not it's not

2:06:38

quite big enough. This isn't ideal. So

2:06:41

we started looking for other places and then

2:06:43

when we found the mothership when

2:06:45

we walked when I walked into the Ritz theater and

2:06:47

looked around it was like the

2:06:50

place was talking to me. Was

2:06:52

it just one theater? What was it? What

2:06:54

did it look like when you walked in? Well it's been a bunch

2:06:56

of things since 1927. It was

2:06:58

a pool hall. It was a punk rock

2:07:01

club. I guess it was a

2:07:03

nudie movie theater at one point in time. I

2:07:05

can still feel the vibe. Yeah and then the

2:07:07

sexual energy in there. Weird energy in that place.

2:07:09

And then from I think

2:07:11

2007 on it was the Alamo Drafthouse.

2:07:16

So that's what it used to look like. Oh

2:07:18

my god. Yeah so it used to be like

2:07:20

that. But is that the whole thing though? Or

2:07:22

is that just what the the fat man is

2:07:24

now? That's the fat man. So the little boy

2:07:27

was always there too. That was a smaller theater.

2:07:29

So the Alamo Drafthouse had two theaters. One theater

2:07:31

that sat like 120 people and

2:07:33

one theater that sat like whatever the seats.

2:07:35

We have it set up for 250

2:07:38

people now. So you see how it angles up

2:07:40

like that? Yeah. So what we did was we

2:07:43

right where Jamie's cursor is we cut

2:07:45

the floor. Oh shit. And so

2:07:48

we lifted from all the

2:07:51

way back to like the second

2:07:53

row we lifted the floor up to

2:07:56

that height so it's flat. And

2:07:58

then So it doesn't

2:08:01

angle downward. So that's the little

2:08:03

room, right? So we lifted the floor up

2:08:05

to make it closer to the ceiling and

2:08:07

then we changed the dynamics of the stage.

2:08:09

So instead of being like this steep angle

2:08:11

like a movie theater where everybody has a

2:08:13

nice shot at the screen, it's flat like

2:08:15

a comedy club and then we lowered the

2:08:17

ceiling. And then so you could see

2:08:20

where the balcony is. The ceiling's lower even

2:08:22

than the balcony because that was Louis' idea. To lower

2:08:24

it. Louis' idea was like, can you lower the ceiling

2:08:26

even more? And I'm like, I think we can. That's

2:08:30

New York. New York, everything's just so fucking

2:08:32

low. Yeah, it is, but

2:08:34

it's also Louis because he's not just

2:08:36

a comic. He's also a producer. He's

2:08:38

done a lot of films and he

2:08:40

understands sets. He deeply

2:08:43

understands recording and dynamics. He

2:08:46

goes, cover everything with cloth.

2:08:48

Good muffle, all the back.

2:08:51

Is that the old, what was this one? Wow.

2:08:54

They're definitely watching something on the

2:08:57

screen. They had one solid balcony

2:08:59

back then. Interesting. Instead of

2:09:01

two balconies. That's

2:09:03

the Fat Man 2? Yeah, crazy.

2:09:06

Look at all them back then. Look at them. I

2:09:09

found a picture of Henry Rollins there.

2:09:11

What? Yeah, Henry Rollins was

2:09:13

on stage there in 1983. Look

2:09:17

at that. What year is that from? That's

2:09:21

crazy. Over there watching a talkie there, a

2:09:23

colored film. That's what it looked like back

2:09:25

then, dude. Isn't that nuts? Yeah,

2:09:29

so it's been there for so long.

2:09:32

And it was the queen it used

2:09:35

to be called. Wow. Is

2:09:37

that a river in front of it? What is

2:09:39

that? That's the dirt. Oh, that's the ground, man. That's

2:09:42

probably before it was paved. Well, they had

2:09:44

pavement. Yeah, they probably didn't pave it yet.

2:09:48

And so when

2:09:50

we got there, oh, here's another funny story.

2:09:52

When we got there, we had to tear

2:09:54

some of the stuff off the walls and

2:09:56

a swastika was painted on the brick. Whoopsie

2:09:59

daisy. Yeah, because he's... a punk rock club

2:10:01

I guess someone painted a swastika on the

2:10:03

wall Jesus and there's

2:10:05

a puncture there did I show you that photo of Henry

2:10:07

Rollins that I send that to you I think I did

2:10:11

so that

2:10:14

we're doing all the construction and I

2:10:16

figured someone would fucking remove the swastika

2:10:19

but it was like months before we opened I go

2:10:21

hey why is the fucking

2:10:23

swastika still here and so they go oh we'll

2:10:25

take it we'll remove it so they removed the

2:10:27

paint which made a

2:10:30

clear white swastika I go

2:10:32

hey retards get

2:10:34

rid of the design don't accept

2:10:36

you's now it's even more obvious

2:10:38

because now that where all

2:10:41

the fucking swastika was was sandblasted

2:10:43

off in the exact same design

2:10:45

it's cleaner we think you know

2:10:47

that's what happens when you hire

2:10:49

laborers who don't really necessarily know what that fucking thing

2:10:51

they could have sent it to Columbia University

2:10:53

is that Henry Rollins on stage there

2:10:55

a black flag 1982 Ritz theater yeah

2:10:58

shit I sent you one did I

2:11:00

show you the one right

2:11:03

now I got a better photo of it the

2:11:05

bet the better photo was pretty fucking crazy hold

2:11:10

on a second I'll get it here I

2:11:15

know I got it in this little pile that's 1980 black and

2:11:17

white 1982 well you

2:11:20

probably hired somebody to like and why do it in

2:11:22

black and white it's funny things really do feel old-timey

2:11:24

and black and white I

2:11:26

can't find it I give

2:11:29

up but anyway point is

2:11:32

we have photos in the the downstairs before

2:11:34

you go on stage there's those photos of

2:11:36

Steve Rave on that's him on stage in

2:11:38

that club in 83 damn

2:11:41

yeah so there's like this crazy history that's baked

2:11:43

into that place and think about just think about

2:11:46

the history in the last year you've been open

2:11:48

I know how much has happened in that room

2:11:50

well how much has happened to

2:11:52

the Austin comedy scene the scene has

2:11:54

exploded it's pretty well

2:11:57

it's just a neat it's a it was an empty

2:11:59

void that was needed because you go on the

2:12:01

coasts and there's great clubs, but that

2:12:03

group identity shit, this race can say

2:12:05

this and that, every night

2:12:07

you gotta sift through that bullshit. There's

2:12:11

also a history of wild comedy

2:12:13

here, because this is where

2:12:15

Bill Hicks started, this is where Kennison started. They

2:12:17

both started in Texas. And

2:12:19

when I had heard about Texas, like Jeanine Garoflow was

2:12:21

out here at one point in Houston, there was a

2:12:24

bunch of comics were out here in Houston,

2:12:26

and I was like, what is going on in

2:12:29

Houston? I remember hearing about that when I lived

2:12:31

in Boston, because I lived in Boston,

2:12:33

comedy store was Mecca, that was the place you

2:12:35

had to get to. I remember everybody was like,

2:12:37

you gotta get to the comic store, that's where

2:12:39

Richard Pryor started, that's where Sam Kennison started, Dice

2:12:41

Clay was there, all these comedians were at the

2:12:43

comedy store, like you had to get to the

2:12:45

comedy store, it was the place. Then

2:12:48

I kept hearing about Houston, and

2:12:50

then when I saw Kennison and Hicks,

2:12:52

people were like, you know they came

2:12:54

from Houston, I was like, what? Kennison

2:12:57

came from Houston, like from Texas?

2:12:59

Texas made comedians. Where was it

2:13:01

performing though? What was available? The last

2:13:04

stop. The last stop in River Oaks

2:13:06

was a fucking amazing club. I

2:13:09

don't think it's there anymore, I don't think the club's

2:13:11

not there anymore, because the club moved to a new

2:13:13

location, and I think that club went under, but the

2:13:15

original place where the last stop

2:13:17

was, was a great club, low

2:13:20

ceiling, perfect little stage,

2:13:23

and then there was also a little

2:13:25

side area, where they had an open mic that

2:13:27

would go to like two o'clock in the morning,

2:13:30

vibrant scene, like really vibrant scene,

2:13:32

and everybody loved to come through Houston and

2:13:34

work that club, and when you work that

2:13:36

club, you do like whatever, Wednesday, Thursday, or

2:13:38

Friday side, or whatever days you do, you

2:13:41

would go there and you'd see the open mics, and

2:13:43

it would be packed, and the local comics were really

2:13:45

good. They were good, man. Local

2:13:48

comics were fucking good. Like you'd

2:13:50

get to see these guys like Jimmy Pineapple, these guys

2:13:52

like you probably never even heard of them. Solid

2:13:55

fucking comedians, and

2:13:57

Sean Rouse was there at the time, and

2:13:59

Ralphie. There was a lot of comics

2:14:01

coming out of that area that I was like, this is

2:14:03

nuts, man. I did not know

2:14:06

that like Houston, like Texas and mostly

2:14:08

Houston had this scene and Austin had a

2:14:10

bit of a scene, but you know, a

2:14:12

little bit smaller, but nothing was

2:14:14

like what it is now. You should

2:14:16

have something in the middle of the country. You can't

2:14:18

just have comedy on

2:14:20

the liberal coast. You need something in the middle

2:14:22

of the country. I think that has something to

2:14:25

do with it. It helps for sanity. Yeah.

2:14:27

For sure. But it also helps that

2:14:29

it's run by comics. That club is run by us. It's

2:14:32

our club. There's no one else. There's

2:14:34

no management. There's

2:14:36

no like, there's no overseer.

2:14:38

There's no executives that are

2:14:40

making decisions based on money.

2:14:44

Everything is made based on comedy.

2:14:46

Yeah. Yeah. I know

2:14:48

some places if they get a couple of complaints about

2:14:50

a joke, they want you to ...

2:14:53

I'm not going to mention where, but I kind of got a little

2:14:55

talking to. We got some complaints about

2:14:58

this one joke and I'm thinking

2:15:00

like, who gives a fuck? The joke

2:15:02

kills every time. Yeah,

2:15:04

they don't get it. They're working against themselves.

2:15:06

Yeah. They don't even understand what they're doing.

2:15:08

They're literally poisoning their own business with this

2:15:11

stupidity. You just got to like let people

2:15:13

know you can be free and you'll have

2:15:15

more audience members and you will get rid

2:15:17

of these people that are looking to be

2:15:20

offended constantly because it won't be effective. All

2:15:22

that shit only works if people comply. People

2:15:25

don't comply and then other people go, oh, this is

2:15:27

just comedy. Just like when you go to see Quentin

2:15:30

Tarantino movies, nobody's really getting killed. Bob

2:15:33

Marley never really shot the sheriff. I don't know if you know that.

2:15:36

That was not real. Come on. I know. Come

2:15:40

on. Crazy. It's comedy and the problem

2:15:42

is these fucking idiots that are running these clubs are giving in

2:15:44

to the very thing that's going to kill their business. This

2:15:47

has given me like a second birth really because

2:15:50

I hit this wall where I've

2:15:52

developed this act and then you need

2:15:55

to experiment. Once I

2:15:57

started getting challenged when I would try to like veer off

2:15:59

and experience it. A little and I'm

2:16:01

never gonna bomb I'm I will end strong. I'm

2:16:04

there to entertain the crowd. That's that's my

2:16:06

thing I'm willing to do crazy shit and

2:16:08

experiment, but there everybody's paying and they're there

2:16:10

and that you know I'm gonna end strong

2:16:12

and so Yeah, that

2:16:14

was enough to get my ass to Texas. I

2:16:16

live in Texas. You could be free here You

2:16:18

could be free here and you could be free

2:16:20

where we are like it's we've set it up

2:16:23

that way We want to be it's like an

2:16:25

actual safe space. Yeah for real like yeah, but

2:16:27

but safe for everybody Yeah, I mean you can

2:16:29

be whatever the fuck you want as long as

2:16:31

what you're saying is funny. It's it's

2:16:33

all it is There's no room for any

2:16:35

horse shit. No ideology. No nonsense. It's just

2:16:38

you could have an ideology, but it's

2:16:40

just gonna be funny Yeah, that is

2:16:42

is palpable there or maybe the opposite

2:16:44

of that. You there's no like The

2:16:47

meritocracy that you set up you

2:16:50

can feel that there you go in

2:16:52

there and it's you're funny or not

2:16:54

Yeah, there's your support is I this

2:16:56

very support identity politics stuff which is

2:16:58

just Killing the businessman

2:17:00

the scene everywhere. Well, it's just

2:17:02

bad for some a business that's

2:17:05

about taking risks and saying outrageous

2:17:07

things and pushing the envelope and

2:17:10

That's all the greats all the big

2:17:12

imagine setting up Like

2:17:15

what a comedy club essentially is in this world

2:17:18

in the world of stand-up comedy a comedy club

2:17:20

is a place where you can Hone your craft

2:17:22

and perform so you go to clubs you learn

2:17:24

how to do it Then you go to clubs

2:17:26

and you make a living doing it and then

2:17:29

eventually if you get big enough Then you start

2:17:31

branching out into theaters and arenas. So

2:17:34

it's literally the the

2:17:36

gym. It's literally the dojo It's a

2:17:38

rehearsal is the place where you learn

2:17:41

Imagine having a place where you learn where

2:17:43

you can't take chances in a business That's

2:17:46

wrapped around taking chances where

2:17:48

all the greats whether it's

2:17:51

Don Rickles Lenny Bruce George

2:17:53

Carlin Richard Pryor all

2:17:55

of them said wild shit. Yeah all of them

2:17:58

and the only way you develop

2:18:00

wild shit is by performing it on stage

2:18:02

in front of people with freedom. Will

2:18:05

you get a chance? I just watched the George Carlin

2:18:07

documentary, did you see that? No, I haven't. I don't

2:18:09

know if it's on HBO or whatever, it's so good.

2:18:12

And I'm almost like, man, he almost had

2:18:14

more freedom than we, he's talking about seven

2:18:16

words you can't say. Right. Ship is fuck,

2:18:18

cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. The seven

2:18:20

word, now it's like the seven

2:18:22

million topics you can't talk about, race,

2:18:24

gender, gender. But you can. You can.

2:18:27

You just have to do it. You can. If

2:18:29

you're in a club that has that established, like the

2:18:31

mothership, anybody could do it. You don't have to have

2:18:33

a big audience. They'll let you do it. Anyone

2:18:35

will let you do it. And no one's

2:18:38

gonna complain. And then they will come

2:18:40

see you again. Sure. And then you'll develop,

2:18:42

and then the people coming to see you

2:18:44

know what you do, and there's no

2:18:46

worries. That's how comedy should be done. That's

2:18:49

the right way to develop both offensive and

2:18:51

non-offensive acts. Sure. You know,

2:18:53

some of my favorite acts are not, Nate

2:18:55

Barghazzi's hilarious. Yeah. Completely non-offensive.

2:18:57

Hilarious! But that's Nate's

2:18:59

act. Yeah, Brian Regan's,

2:19:01

Sebastian. Same thing. Great

2:19:03

comedians. But that's their

2:19:05

thing. And that's great. There's

2:19:08

no right way to do it. Do you ever

2:19:10

wanna see a clean person just go, I wanna

2:19:12

see them do an hour of the filthiest fucking

2:19:14

shit? It'll be funny. Sebastian, you know what? You

2:19:17

gonna get your take on this job? Yeah.

2:19:20

I take a girl home the other day, she goes, can

2:19:22

I give you a rim job? I go, what? She

2:19:25

starts pecking at me like a

2:19:27

baby bird. I don't want

2:19:30

my girlfriend to have the same lingo as my mechanic,

2:19:32

right? What, are you gonna start tweaking my nipples, right?

2:19:35

I just wanna see him fucking get, Seinfeld? It'll be

2:19:37

funny. Yeah. Talking

2:19:39

about fucking trans stuff and all that? Well,

2:19:41

even Seinfeld's pushing back on all this woke shit.

2:19:44

Well, he's getting, have you seen

2:19:46

the protests? Every show now. Well, it's Palestine

2:19:48

protests. It is, but it's still kinda linked

2:19:50

up with like, we're gonna shut down comedy

2:19:53

for our cause. So

2:19:56

he's getting caught up in that stuff. Well, you got

2:19:58

a lot of really dumb young people. that

2:20:00

are very entitled and think they can shut things

2:20:02

down because they have a cost you think they

2:20:04

I mean you think they would learn But they're

2:20:07

not going to and they're gonna keep doing it

2:20:09

and there's more attention to get every time they

2:20:11

do it See the stop oil now people they

2:20:13

just They vandalized

2:20:15

Stonehenge What

2:20:18

the fuck does Stonehenge have to do with oil

2:20:20

it's it's an amazing Monument that's

2:20:22

thousands of years old and you just spray paint

2:20:25

all over it because you want people to stop

2:20:27

using oil That's a mental illness and you're wearing

2:20:29

clothes made out of oil You fucking

2:20:31

idiot everything you own was shipped on

2:20:33

a truck that was used oil Every

2:20:36

fucking thing you eat every fucking thing

2:20:39

in your house Everything your

2:20:41

house is made out of the the electronics

2:20:43

on your phone Yeah, the wires

2:20:46

in your wall everything uses plastic you

2:20:48

fucking idiot everything uses oil They're

2:20:51

not stopping shit. No Yeah,

2:20:54

a little tomato soup on the van go

2:20:56

it's always rich kids too it's

2:20:58

entitled kids It's posh kids that think that

2:21:00

this is the thing that they should be

2:21:02

doing with their life I don't have any

2:21:04

purpose. They're taught that from element now I

2:21:07

mean for me it started popping up in

2:21:09

college a little bit these kids like oh,

2:21:11

yeah age three Anti-racist baby.

2:21:13

That's a real book. Oh, yeah.

2:21:15

Yeah. Yeah my kid when we

2:21:17

were in school Right

2:21:19

after the George Floyd thing they sent an

2:21:21

email saying to young kids like some of

2:21:23

them as young as like six and seven

2:21:26

Went there saying that it's

2:21:28

not enough that you not be

2:21:31

racist You have to

2:21:33

be anti-racist. There's almost two kids who

2:21:35

don't have any concept of race They

2:21:38

have black friends Indian friends Asian friends. These are

2:21:40

friends who's nice to me Who likes playing the

2:21:42

toys that I play with who likes playing the

2:21:44

games that I play. Let's let's hang out You

2:21:47

know, they don't care and you're making

2:21:50

them focus on this for no

2:21:52

fucking reason. It's gonna fuck them up Yeah,

2:21:54

so they fired the person at the school

2:21:56

and it became like a big lawsuit But

2:21:58

they realized they were getting grifted on, but

2:22:01

Jesus fucking Christ, you idiots. How did you

2:22:03

not see through? The parents were freaking out

2:22:05

like, what the fuck are you teaching them?

2:22:07

Why are you doing this? Why are you

2:22:09

introducing all these ideas? If there's

2:22:11

a problem, let's talk about the problem. There's

2:22:13

no fucking problem. This is not an issue

2:22:15

at all. You're making it

2:22:17

an issue to make yourself important. That's

2:22:20

the problem with these positions. When

2:22:22

people have these positions of equity

2:22:24

and inclusiveness, these people, they have

2:22:26

these positions in universities. They have

2:22:28

these positions in corporations. God

2:22:31

damn. The whole equity

2:22:33

thing, that happened overnight. The word

2:22:35

equality was switched with equity, the

2:22:39

equal outcome. That's the only way to do it,

2:22:42

is to force it. We have to force it.

2:22:44

We have to have this person and this person

2:22:46

and this race, but all the

2:22:48

identities are becoming infinite now. So

2:22:51

it's like, Kamala Harris. They

2:22:54

had to discriminate against every other type of person

2:22:56

because they said we're having a black woman. So

2:22:58

they had to discriminate against black men and

2:23:01

Asian women and everybody. Yeah,

2:23:03

well, it's definitely not a meritocracy if you got

2:23:06

her. No. No. None

2:23:09

of it makes any sense. The whole thing's

2:23:11

bonkers, man. It's a fascinating, fascinating time to

2:23:13

be alive, but it's good

2:23:15

for comedy. Good for comedy. I'm

2:23:17

actually playing a DEI officer, a

2:23:20

Jedi he's called, justice, equity, inclusion

2:23:22

officer in Adam Carolla has a

2:23:24

new cartoon now. Mr.

2:23:26

Burcham, which he

2:23:30

pitched that like 10, 15 years ago to Fox and

2:23:32

they said no. And

2:23:34

Daily Wire, who's just like scooping

2:23:36

stuff up, they produced it. I think a lot of

2:23:39

that was a response to what we were talking about

2:23:41

once. We're saying you can't make a good comedy movie

2:23:43

right now because no one will go off. Jeremy saw

2:23:45

it, saw that and was like, fuck dude. They

2:23:48

wrote that thing in like two weeks. They flew me out

2:23:50

to punch it up. We filmed it in like three

2:23:52

weeks and it was out. That's

2:23:54
