Transcript for #1026 - Brian Redban

Good. Four, three, two, one. Boom! And we're live Brian Redban. I feel him, buddy. I feel great. I feel him in here.

It's going to be badass. Yeah. We're working on it. We're making it happen. Before we do this, I have to apologize. After apologize for something I said last week, last Tuesday in passing. We were watching a Cory Feldman clip and Cory Feldman was doing this crazy dance. Greg Fitzimmons was in, and Corey Feldman had some little tight jack on it. It's just weird song he was singing. And I said that Jack was wearing that jacket when he was young and he got dittled. I was trying to make Greg laugh, right? You're trying to say fucked up things to make comedians laugh, which is what we do when we get together. We say the most heinous shit. But I felt terrible after somebody pointed it out. Like, I didn't even remember saying it. Some pointed it out, and then Saturday I watched it. And I felt so terrible. Because especially like out of context, like it's just me laughing about him getting dittled. Right. And it just, it's horrible.

Yes. But there's no excuse. Like what it is, it was, You swing it a lot of pitches when you do in live podcasts and sometimes you hit yourself in the dick with the bat and that's what I did. It was totally wrong. It wasn't funny. I took a swing. It was the wrong thing to do with what the best way to describe it is. It was thoughtless. Because I did really didn't think. I was just trying to say something fucked up to make Greg laugh. I wasn't thinking like this is a real person. And I watched him the other day in a movie man. I saw him in Gremlins. I was watching Gremlins with my kids after actually did we did the podcast. Before I watched the clip though because I didn't I hadn't seen you know I do it and I'm done with it. I didn't think about it. I said, you know, first of all, he was doing the Michael Jackson thing. You know, he wears a Michael Jackson jacket and he danced like Michael Jackson. He said Michael Jackson didn't even do anything to him. So it didn't even make sense. It was just a stupid line to say, but I felt terrible. I couldn't sleep Saturday night. I felt really bad. I felt really bad. I felt bad for a bunch of reasons. One, I felt bad because it's a mean thing to say. And I didn't I didn't mean it to be. Even though it was, it's just, I was just trying to be funny. You know, Patrice O'Neill said something once when he was defending O'Bean Anthony. He was saying, when someone says something really funny or the same person says something really fucked up, it all comes from the same place. Like they're trying to do the same thing. They just miss, you know. But that was without a doubt the worst miss. The most embarrassing to me, the most depressing, the most, what's the best way to describe it? Just so disappointed that I did that. Because he was a kid. You know, I don't even think he actually got molested. I think he was actually saying that Cory Heem got molested and he didn't.

Well, I started looking into this shit more and more recently, like Hollywood, molestation with children. It's no joke, man. Just as it's no joke with sexual harassment and assault with women, what you see with this Harvey Weinstein thing, and these other directors now are getting in trouble for the same thing. The same kind of shit happened to a lot of kids that were involved in these child movies. You don't think about that when you're just trying to crack a joke. And I just want everybody to know if you were disappointed, there's no, if you were disappointed me, there's no way you were more disappointed in me than I am disappointed in me. I didn't sleep Saturday. I had a hard time sleeping last night. I felt bad about it all day. I felt terrible. And I went to Underwood Farms, you know, we're underwood farms. It's a great family time. How to get time with the kids, you know, we're picking out pumpkins and doing all this stuff. But the entire time I was there, there's like this blanket of like, how did I say that? Why did I say that? Like sometimes you'll say something fucked up. And then after you did it, like, you can't believe you said it, like, especially when we're doing this live, right? If you and me were just out of the diner, we would probably say that in laugh to each other because no one's getting hurt by it. We're just making each other laugh and we do that all the time, right? We say we're trying to shit to each other all the time. But when other people hear it, And then the guy here is like, of course, he heard it. It's just wrong. You know, I didn't mean to have that impact and I didn't think about it. It was very thoughtless. So I was extremely disappointed myself. But what's interesting about it, trying to like look at it from a different perspective, trying to like examine it like the feeling of doing something that you shouldn't have done. That might have hurt someone's feelings because you were senseless and thoughtless. That feeling is a terrible feeling. And it's weird. Like, it overcomes your whole day. Like, I don't think anybody knew because I was still having fun with the family and everybody was laughing. We did a lot of kid stuff. But at the end of the day, that was with me all day. I mean it was just it was like a fucking wet blanket that I was carrying with me like a depression. This episode is brought to you by Robin Hood. You want financial security for you and your family?

And there's no other way to put it than, you know, that I'm sorry, and then I shouldn't have done it. But what I was thinking while it was all happening was like this feeling of letting a bunch of people down and hurting someone's feeling, doing something in a mass way, like on the internet. This is a new feeling. Like before you could, people could be upset at you, maybe someone you know, or people you work with and it's a bad feeling, but this is a different kind of bad feeling. It's an intensified bad feeling, especially like the way I did it, because it's so stupid. And I would think that at this age, I'm 50. I would say, I've done saying stupid shit. Obviously, I'm not, you know, I'm not done. Like, that's the fucked up thing about being a person. It requires constant diligence. Like you have to constantly pay attention to your thinking. You have to constantly pay attention to the way you behave and who you are. You can't just go off the cuff. And the other thing that's making me think of, you know, I'm doing this sober October thing. And obviously, I love pot. And I've always loved pot. And I've been a regular pot smoker for 20 years. But what, there is a difference in my personality when I'm not smoking pot, grumpy. More tense, less kind, and I have to like catch myself before I get upset about things, whereas when I'm high, or if I'm not even, if I'm high, but if I'm just smoking on a regular basis, I'm way more mellow, way more relaxed about things, and way more, I guess the right word is humble. It's not like I'm cocky when I'm sober, but I'm like really aware, much more aware of gratitude and fortune like I'm lucky and appreciative of my friends. I want to hug people more. Like, Pana's a lot of for me for my fucked up brain has a lot of really positive effects. A lot of really positive personality effects. But I think I might be downplaying my dependence on it. I think I might have been going like that's nothing. I'll just fucking quit pot. It's nothing. Man, I don't know about all that. Um, my dreams. Here's another thing. You remember him? Dude, then I don't just remember them. They're fucking crazy. They're all wolves and bears and drowning and falling off buildings and and fucking lava coming at you. It's all primal shit. Wow. It's weird, man. I'm having all these, uh, these predator dreams. It's, it's very strange. Like, um, I had these dreams. These, these cart, almost cartoon wolves at these giant feet. And they were like running through the woods. And, uh, I'm somehow another trying to get away from them. I had a dream that I was for some reason I was crawling through some fucking cave and there was an enormous bear inside this cave and it was looking at me and I was like I got to get the fuck out of here and it was like trying to figure out what the bear was gonna come after me, but I mean super vivid I don't I don't remember my dreams when I was getting hot unless I took the alpha brain before I went to sleep that that will fucking spark you up some crazy lucid dreams but other than that I would just sleep good. I never had a problem sleeping. I'd get up in the morning and I'd be fine. But there is a, there is a big difference between me when I'm using pot and me when I'm not using pot. I'm noticing the same thing with Ari. And those Ari, Ari gets a little more intense about things, a little more upset about things. He's fucking, gets really mad at people on comments. He fucking fights with people online. You can call him a welcher. Fuck you, I'm not a welcher. He's like super intense.

No. Well, I'm doing so much goddamn yoga because we have this hot yoga challenge and the hot yoga challenge is you have to do 15 in a month. Well, my dumb ass did one the first week and two the second week. So yeah, so I've been on a rampage where I've done eight straight days of yoga in a row as of today. Wow. Yeah, and I have four more to go. So that's time to speak as problem time a week. I got a week. Yeah, well, I have four to do, though. I mean, I haven't till next Tuesday. So I could kill it on Thanksgiving. The 31st could be my last one, but I'm not going to do that. I'm banging them all out this week. We're doing it together for the first time. Ari, Tom, Bert and I, we're doing together. I don't want to say where. I don't want to say where. I don't want you fucking freak showing up, but we're going to do it together one day this week.

90 minutes is a long time. Well, I do it every week, but I usually only do it once or twice a week. Right. And now I've done eight fucking days in a row as of today. It's rough. I'm shredded those on. Ooh. I'm shredded. My body, I'm burning off so many fucking calories. I actually had blood work done today, so I'm very interested to see what my mineral levels are like, because I'm sweating out so much. And I'm not really supplementing minerals that much. I might have to do that. I do that on a regular basis till like every three months. I get blood worked on the sealer. where my nutrient levels are.

So to get off this Cory Feldman thing, just the end of the day, I just want to say that I'm sorry, and if I disappointed anybody, I'm sorry to just when you, you know, comedians try to say fucked up things to each other. You know, I was talking to Colin Quinn about this the other night. Colin was at the comedy school. And I told Colin, we're talking. I go, man, I miss tough crowd. He goes, oh, I miss it so much. He goes, but you know what? We could never fucking do it today. He goes, because he goes to think of things that Patrice and Nick DePolo would say to each other, he's like, if you did that today, people would have riots. They would be protesting. They would try to have the show shut down. Comedy Central would freak out. People would get fired. I was like, you're probably right, but that was like the best show ever uncommon. Next to the Chapelle show. No, next to South Park. Okay. South Park number one, Chapelle show number two, tough crowd number three. Yeah.

So anyway, these moments where you fuck up and these terrible feelings like this is how I'm looking at. I wish I could take it back, but I can't, right? There's nothing you could do. And if people are mad at me now because of that, you're right. You know, I don't, I'm not trying to make any excuse for myself. Um, I shouldn't have said it. But when you do have these moments where you fuck up and you feel terrible, there are an amazing opportunity to grow. You know, and I think people need to look at stuff like that this way or at least I've been looking at stuff this way for the last like 10 years or so. And it's made a big impact in my life because I think regular change happens in like a You know, regular change in growth happens in like a grinding slow sort of progress or progression. But when you, when something fucked up happens, when you do something fucked up and you get that terrible feeling, you have this opportunity for these leaps of understanding. And these bad feelings that happen, they're just, it's a big alarm to let you know. And one of the things that I was thinking about is that human beings now, the way we interact with each other, like, there's a lot of pressure now on people, because those call out culture, people are getting mad, that people are doing dumb shit, like white girls wearing braids, cultural appropriation, they're going after white guys wearing dreadlocks, and people are mad that people are dressing up like gayshows, and they're calling them out. There's a lot of silliness to all this shit, but what's interesting about it is, Everyone is expressing their displeasure and pleasure of things. They're expressing their anger with things, and they're happiness with things at a level we've never seen before. And I think people that experience this, like if it makes sense, like, it's one thing if someone gets mad at you for something like, you shouldn't be wearing that blue hat, man. I'm in the the crips, and we only support red hats or is it the blood? I don't even know. I think the blood, the creeps are blue, right? Yeah, yeah. Maybe somebody gets mad at you for something that doesn't make any sense. That's stupid. But if someone gets mad at you for poking fun at someone being molested. that that bad feeling is valid, right? And I think these bad feelings that like Donald Trump must feel 24-7, like there is probably, I mean, part of, I think part of the reason why he so angry at people and bitter and barking at fake news, I think he feels like shit all day long because you know this guy checks his Twitter You know, he does check. He reads his company. He's a fucking ego maniac, right? So he's paying attention to new shows to talk shit about him. He's paying attention to late night comedians that make jokes about him. He's paying attention to saturday and live. He can't help himself. He's constantly commenting on it. And he hears all these people laughing at him and mocking him. And he's all these people that think he's a terrible person like I read his Twitter when he'll put up a comment. He'll put up something on Twitter and then I'll read the comments under it and it's like holy shit. People just go hard at him. You know that motherfucker reads that stuff. You know he does. And he's also involved in a lawsuit several lawsuits now where he's blocked people on Twitter. And they're questioning the constitutionality of someone being able to block someone from commenting whether the president of the United States. I mean, this is a new way to communicate. You don't want to hear what people have to say because it's negative. Well, that's, you know, we're, so people are questioning this in court. But I think that that feeling that's hitting this guy. He might be too old for it. And he might not be ready for it. And his, he's got so many things wrong with him to begin with, you know, with his, the way he treats the world and his, his ego and the way he's, the, the, the non presidential and non statesman like behavior that people thought was cute when he was running for office. And then they see as a giant problem when he's threatening war with nuclear weapons with Korean shell like that. This thing is a new thing. This this this swarm of bad feeling and in return good feeling when something good happens is a new thing and I think that it's going to shape the way human beings interact with each other in a really radical way because I don't think it's ever existed like this before.

Yeah. I mean, remember when we were a kid, that was some jets and shit. Yeah. I heard George Jets and you do it on your phone.

That's the move part building. Go play. Make yourself comfortable. Come on in. So my package. Oh, you can take the cards. I've come in.

You guys get together take pictures you too. I like brown and I like the FedEx outfits cool too.

Yeah. DHL is like the RC Cola of delivery service.

RC Cola, like if someone said, hey, do you want to own RC Cola? You'd be like, yeah, fuck yeah. It's a lot of money, but you know, it ain't Pepsi. Right? Which is it just got to be some people out there that are like huge RC Cola fans that have like RC Cola t-shirts on shit. And that's got to be. I like RC Cola super underrated.

I see P. I see P. That what's that badass root beer? I B. C. That stuff is fucking fantastic. Yes. God damn that stuff's good. I wish that it wasn't bad for you. Because God damn it tastes delicious. That is the best fucking root beer on the planet that I've experienced.

No, let me ask you this. Because I don't think that I would have ever done this many yoga. I know I wouldn't have done this many yoga. And I know I wouldn't have taken a month off weed. And I know I would have taken a month off booze not hard. I mean, the only thing I went the other day to a Mexican restaurant, and I wanted a margarita so bad. I have to. They had these delicious, they were rib eye tacos. I was like, oh, that looks good. They look fucking with habanero sauce on them. I'm like, give me a fucking margarita. Oh shit, I can't have one. I really hurt me.

No, I wanted a beer too. I wanted a beer and a margarita. Um, but that's not hard, but I would have never done this. I mind I only take a week off or something like that. I would never have taken a month off if we weren't doing this challenge. What would you do? Like what kind of challenge would you do? And what would I do hanging there stick with it? Because a lot of people don't know, but you lost like 70 pounds once over like a short amount of time. You went crazy. Brian broke up with his girlfriend. If you aren't saying. Yeah. Same thing. It's all. It's all. Anyway, broke up and said, you know what? What am I going to do with this? Right. You got a picture of him all skinny? Look at that Jesus. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.

Lower right hand side dude. You're your cute little bitch. Yeah. Look at that. Look at the phone you're holding up. That's my envy bro. Dude, look at that phone. Isn't that hilarious that back then that phone was the shit? And if you had that now, you would assume that you live in like assisted housing. I still have that phone. Do you? What do you do with it?

Text ISIS with it? Yeah. Your burner phone. So what did you lose? How much did you lose there? 255 to 163. Jesus Christ dude.

That's weight watchers right there, buddy. So you did at one point in time. By the way, what the fuck is going on with your underwear line? Like, where is it? Is it like, oh, I did at the base of your dick?

That's the dick root. Look at the picture of you holding up the old pants.

Well, okay, what would it take? What would what would you be interested in doing? What kind of challenge?

So you guys are going to do a November? Yeah, yeah, I was going to try to quit and well this and why don't we set up a chance later when I get back from Columbus so high I'll be there next month Let's think of a challenge that you could do and who would you do it with you need like Tony and Cliff for sure. No sugar. This is this is you for a month. No sugar. No booze. No cigarettes. You would lose fucking 30 pounds just doing that.

Isn't it also stimulant though? Yeah. It's stimulant. Yeah.

I don't think

And legitimately nervous about smoking pot again. But here's my real concern. I'm really wondering, like, what is going on where I'm dreaming so much more vividly without pot? And is that a bad thing that I'm not dreaming when I'm smoking pot? Like I might somehow or another doing some damage?

I don't know. But I mean, we got high before most of the podcasts with comedians. I got high before most comedy shows. So that's like three, four and nights a week at least. Now I'd take a day or two off and it was nothing. Super easy to do. It was never a problem. But I never took a month off. So when I would take a day or two off, even if I go on vacation, right? If I went on vacation, I would take a week off. People, people were mocking me relentlessly online. Before I told everybody that I was taking the month off and they started doing all this pray for Joe. People who was going Joe, I don't, in quotes. I don't smoke weed on vacation, Rogan. It's not a problem. It's not a problem, but it was just like, you know, I'd be in Europe or something like that. You know, we can't get weed. Don't bring it with you. You don't want to go to jail. So just don't smoke weed. It was no problem. So I was like, I don't need pot. It's not an issue. And I don't need it. Obviously, I've gone through this whole month, but I'm really stunned at the differences in the way I'm dreaming like stunned like I never expected it to be so extreme so vivid every night I'm having fucking crazy dreams every night and they're almost all primal They're almost all like animals and waterfalls and fucking ocean. Wow, it's all like a lot of falling. Like a lot of like balancing on shit. Like, it's interesting. Weird. I think I'm too busy. I'm thinking that about that lately. I think I'm too busy. I think I do too much shit. And I never thought that before. I never thought that. But you would think that like smoke and pot would make you think you're too busy. But it's not smoking pot. It makes me think I'm too busy.

Well, food does not taste as good. Tell you that. Food's way better when you're smoking weed. People's good. Movies aren't as good. Music doesn't sound as good. I think the key to it is using it occasionally. I think that's the key. I think marijuana like daily, parents McKenna talked about this many years ago and he was a, he was a daily smoker and one of the things that he was saying, he was doing some sort of a lecture and he was saying that the correct way to do marijuana is to not do it for a long time and then do as much as you can stand and then just fucking hold on And that's how he would do it. He would do cannabis when he was doing it correctly when he wasn't like an inveterate daily smoker. He would do it like a psychedelic. He would do it in these big bursts where he would, you know, and he was recommending, like, that's the way to do it. And that people would think they know what cannabis is if they smoke cannabis on a regular basis, you don't really know. Like the way to really know what it is is to take a lot of time off. You know, or obviously eat one of Joey's edibles.

I would like to see what happens with Joey if he took a week off on my car month off. Joey would be violent. He would attack people.

I give it a full-length dog. He's gonna be here Friday, by the way, folks. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But if he did take a month off, I mean, he didn't take a month off weed though. I thought I don't think it was smoking. I think it was just eating it. Yeah, he told me that once. He told me he was like, can't do these fucking animals anymore. There's too much, there's too much Joe Rogan. I'm fucking up. I'm taking too much. It's messing me up. Next time I saw him. Next time I saw him, he's down and stars at death. Literally the next time I saw him. I go how many milligrams of those? 125. Throwing down two one twenty five milligrams stars of death. I'm like, you are a monster.

On the microphone, right? Lisa, I can't even see. He's like looking at life through like slits. Like he's like barely cracking the page of a book.

Yeah, the sections in North Hollywood, you're like, oh, yeah, it's gross.

Was she attractive?

What about the clientele?

Yeah, if you go to a bad neighborhood, I mean, there's levels to everything, right? Like the levels of stress and pressure that it check has to deal with if she's a stripper in a really bad neighborhood. That's how diamonds get developed, son. They get developed diamonds in a fluffy pillow. You know, you're going to, you're going to be a diamond on a temperedic mattress. It needs fucking pressure. Serious, serious pressure man.

I can't wait to tell you the time when Brian Kallen met his ex girlfriend walking in the street. Yeah, that's harsh. That is that's when that's when you just go whoa. What? He was outside of the coaching horses on sunset.

Yeah. That was a good little joint. I remember Ralphie May, a resting piece. We were supposed to meet Ralphie there and Ralphie showed up an hour later. I'm like, what the fuck Ralphie? I'm looking at backseat and he had like 13 boxes, those jalapeno poppers from Jack in the box. Oh my God. He just said, gone off on jalapeno poppers.

Poor Ralphie. When he had his stomach stapled and when he had a stomach stapled for some reason, he couldn't eat meat. Like there's something about the operation that they did, it made him have a real issue with meat, but he still loved to cook it. So he's to barbecue. We went over his house once and he, he's a fucking killer cook. Yeah.

And he got, like, check out my barbecue eating meat at the time.

He just ate right through those staples. Yeah, he had this idea that he was going to lose all this weight.

Well, the problem was he was so big that like, if he said he lost weight, like, like, okay, how much? You know, he'd say he lost a hundred pounds and you'd be like, um, I believe you, but it's hard to tell. You know, it's like you couldn't But imagine, like, how strong his legs must have been?

Like, that guy could probably kick through a fucking building. You think about it? Like, if he's carrying around 500 pounds, imagine if I took you, and I threw 300 pounds of weights on your back, you're just walking around with 300 pounds everywhere you go. I wouldn't be able to do it. Like, I live weights all the time, and I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd be like, what the fuck man, but you'd walk everywhere.

He had those calves. You know those fat dude calves? They did develop this model. I bet if you could like look at the musculature in his legs, I bet if you get through all the fatness arms, his arms like normal size arms, but I bet he had some jacked fucking Lee Haney quads.

That's rough that diabetes blue. Yeah, that's super common though, right?

What was the do that was the Cubs guy? Crazy glass.

I think they have elk only in a couple places. They have venison in a bunch of places.

Well, it's venison. They do these mass executions of deer in some places where they have to eradicate these deer, like they get a little too crazy. I would imagine that's probably where they're getting some of their meat from.

Well, you can only hunt them for so long, like if it's in during hunting season, you're not allowed to sell it commercially. Like hunting meat, like there's it. You can buy farm-raised deer. They might have that, but I think like, I think it's illegal. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell wild game. I'd like to actually sell it, sell it. I don't think you can sell the meat, but I have some for you. I have elk jerky for you. I have elk salami for you.

Oh, that was a smoked ham. That was wild boar. Yeah, wild pig is the shit. Wild pig is so, and wild pig is very sustainable. Those little motherfuckers, they breed like crazy. You literally have to shoot them. They have a big problem with them right now in San Jose. I was just reading this thing about San Jose. San Jose is trying to figure out their hiring people to set traps in people's yards. Because in the middle of the night these wild pigs come up and just fuck people's lawns up. And it's San Jose is like tech industry.

What's interesting is a lot of it came from that crazy asshole that made weedy legal. William Randolph Hearst William Randolph Hearst when he built the Hearst castle. Have you ever been to the Hearst castle?

Yeah, this is that is the Hearst castle of one that has like the the stairways that lead to a brick wall like you open up the door and there's nothing there or is that another crate is a crazy lady? I think I think I'm thinking of a different person, but William Randolph Hearst When he had the Hearst Castle built, he released a bunch of wild boars, Eurasian boars all over the backyard so he could just hunt them and shoot them because he was just crazy rich asshole. And those motherfuckers populated the entire Northern California region. That's crazy. Hunter has Thompson when he was young and he lived in Big Sur. He used to go hunt wild boars with a machine gun. There's like a famous classic picture of Hunter S. Thompson holding a knife and an AK-47 while there's a wild boar that's hanging from its back legs and he's cutting it open and about to cook it.

Pigs tail?

Yeah, I don't remember much about my, my reel down, but I do remember he loved pig's feet. And I ate it when I was a little kid. Yeah, you can buy it the grocery store. Yeah, pick up pig's feet. You got to go to bad neighborhood though.

Okay, yeah, same kind of area. Yeah, this house is a wacky house. How'd you go to this house? I was a little kid. Yeah, I thought it was a great one. Well, I lived in San Francisco when I was little from age 7 to 11. We lived in San Francisco. And we took a tour of the Hearst Castle when I was a little or member it. And we went to this mystery house too. But there was like doorways to nowhere.

What the hell was that?

It's in Pasadena, that house is. Yeah, that's beautiful. I love houses like that would structure look look at that long to the architecture. There's so amazing and just pasted in this amazing man pasted in a well that's the inside of it Yeah, and you can do there. You got a 360 tour.

Yeah, me and my mom like as a ghost People are ghosts look at their ghosts

That's fucking beautiful. That's the same house? Yeah. Pasadena had this Frank Lloyd Wright house that was for sale forever. And I think it finally sold. And there was another one that's like another Frank Lloyd Wright house I believe that was for sale in Los Files. And I was like, God damn, I don't want it. That's the house. Yeah. Like, I don't want to live in Los Files with all the hipsters. But I might live there just to be in this house. Look at this fucking the Mallard house. That places the shit. I love Frank Lloyd Wright. That's old though. Yeah. the inside of that house was incredible. Jamie, go to the inside when you see there was all this crazy patterns there. See all the crazy patterns in the stone columns? It was just a gorgeous house. Like it was literally like your owning whoever owns it. Your owning a piece of historical art. Like that one right down there.

I mean, come on man, that's like a museum or something.

You know, it's probably the dopest house I've ever seen is the Ferris Bueller's day off house when he drove the Ferris. Yeah, that house was that. That house is in Seattle.

That's in Chicago. Yeah. Probably have to dodge bullets in the way the first killer house was for sale.

How much is a Ferris Bueller house cost? Look at that house. God damn it's gorgeous.

Dude, there's there's nothing better than like living around trees. Like there's something about like that image of that house, like with all those trees in the background, all that green, like that just makes you want to let you know what it reminds me of. The crazy billionaire and ex Machina. Remember that guy? The guy lived in some crazy wooded house in the forest.

There it is. Ferris Pieler's day off house. That house is a shit. But people would watch you fuck. They'd be hiding in the bushes.

Yeah, the X-Mocken guy has a good movie coming in.

Yeah. Yeah, it's some sort of a science fiction movie, right? Yeah. That's one of my, if I had a top 20 all-time favorite movies, X-Markin is right in there. Wait, it's so well done.

What is it about? Jeff Vendermir. Watch the new trailer for X-Mocken.

Yeah. Did I get a stop drinking coffee when I'm on a podcast?

Yeah, what you terrible is like caveman coffee. Just coffee in general. If I drink water, I'm fine. If I drink coffee, I start fliming up and I have to clean my throat.

Do you know what I like to see via that stevia soda? Do we have any of those back there?

I always hear like what was the other one? That was for tame. Yeah. That's sustainable.

That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's sustainable. That's Most of that stuff like the chemical stuff dangerous, but this is stevia. I think I'm pretty sure. We should have Jamie Charter. So no, Jamie comes back. I don't want to tell anybody. Yeah, bro. You'd all stevia you want. Do you remember that crazy guy that was a snorting stevia?

Yeah, he had some awesome videos in Snorton, Stivia. Talking about Stivia burns off calories and gives you muscles. Roop here. Yeah, we got Roop here. So he was so dumb.

Great fruit citrus. People are going to think this is some really fucking low level sketchy commercial.

Well, if you just go to stamps.com to go.

Yeah. legit. Okay. Here's the question. Is there anything wrong with Stevie? We need to find out. I feel like there was something recently that's cool. Does Stevie a kill you?

This is an artificial sweetener. No, Stevie is maybe the plant. That's why it has the little green leaf. That's what Stevie it looks like.

I don't know. Maybe your brain does. Maybe my brain's smart enough to know. My brain's like, you'll bro. This is fake bro. This is fake sugar, bro. Don't get crazy. I had a real coke the other day by accident. Yeah, I went to a drive through was late at night and I was fucking starving and I had worked all day and I worked out and I was just like I just need to get a fucking Burger King or not Burger King Wendy's went and got a baconator Yeah, and I asked for a die Coke and they hooked me up with a regular Coke. They always do that shit pisses me off, but it's so good. It was so good. I haven't had a regular Coke in years.

What's wrong with you? In and out, cigarettes killed your fucking taste buds.

You are, you definitely fucked up.

There's a show called Good Mythicality saying, I don't even know what you're saying.

You really think that Wendy's is better than in and out.

That's a million. Million. I can't trust you with anything from now on.

From California, you're all in and out.

And I find you in and out will be nowhere close to the five guys with bacon and jalapeno would butt fuck all the rest of them. I just said it.

This one, like a mile away from here.

But I think they give you frozen meat. I think it's frozen meat that they recook. But I don't think that's that big of a deal. I tell you what, man. that whole frozen versus fresh argument I think the real thing is like when you cook it you got to cook it like right there and then you know like right like the problem with a lot of these fast food places they have that fucking thing cooked way in advance they just nuke them right and then hand them to your kid Burger King says flame broiled but you know what they do they flame broiled then they put it in a pan with all this beef juice and they just let's sit in this pan like like kind of like a caterer might when you go to catering where they just pull it out it's discussing uh...

the best catch up in a lot of burgers good don't get me wrong I wouldn't say no if I was hungry but it cannot fuck with five guys are in and out Let's do a taste test soon. Okay, what's wrong with Stevie? What is it? Stevie is short for stevia, rebao diana, a plant from the Krasanthamum family, which grows in parts of Brazil and Paraguay. The compound that makes the stevia sugars extracted from the leaves, it's used in the UAE, East Asia, Russia, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's about 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Whoa, when did the FDA approve it? In 1990s, FDA rejected Stivia as a food ingredient after research linked it to reproductive problems and possible genetic mutations.

In 2008, the FDA approved a specific formula of pure stevia, a re-baud diocida. How do I say that? The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida.

The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The bodyocida. The FDA recommended daily dose is no more than 1.3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight for healthy adults. You'd have to have at least 29 true via packets a day to exceed that. What do the experts say? If your stevia isn't made from rib A, like for example, the whole leaf extract that's sold at natural food markets and labeled as a dietary supplement hasn't been vetted for safety by the FDA. For Truevia and Purevia, the FDA concluded with reasonable certainty that Rema is not harmful under its intended conditions of use. Based on studies, it looked at concerning reproductive blood pressure and toxicity effects, although scientific studies in the 1960s and 1980s found that stevia derived products decreased fertility in female rats and potentially led to mutations. The FDA concluded that those problems didn't apply to REB A based on additional research that's only paid off. The problem with this fucking, I don't trust any studies from back in the day anymore after that sugar study got exposed. Where you found out from the New York Times did this whole expose on how the sugar industry bribed all these scientists to say that sugar's not bad for you. It's a saturated fat. And they pushed all the blame on heart attacks and heart disease on the saturated fat.

If you say it hasn't been vetted, that's the stuff that we put in coffee.

Mother Jones is a good place if you have stinky feet, and you're like, we're working stocks. And you have wooden beads. Mother Jones is a good magazine, but it's there's there's super left wing hippie. I don't know if they're right though. They might be right.

I mean, there's no biological free rides if you talk to doctors. Just say, look, there's something probably going on. You know, like, I used to think that Advil was fine. I think that Advil, there's no problem to Advil until Dr. Rhonda Patrick explained to me about strokes and fucking heart attacks and all kinds of crazy shit that you can get from consuming Advil.

aspirin supposedly prevents heart attacks, but I wonder why? Like do you think it's is it something in the ice? Cause aspirin, if I remember correctly, she probably goes, I think it comes from the bark of a tree. I think actual aspirin is an extraction, like a plant extraction. And somehow another aspirin, because it does reduce inflammation. It's supposed to be good for people that have heart problems. Aspirin blocks an enzyme called cyclooxygenase that makes your body less likely to produce chemicals that can cause inflammation. It helps prevent blood clots. That's important because they clog the arteries and bring blood to the heart muscles in the brain, which increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. So, aspirin blocks that enzyme and makes you less likely to have heart attacks and stroke. That's pretty bad, ask. But what is aspirin from? Where does aspirin come from?

I think they actually encourage you to take aspirin. But you know what else can be done that could probably mimic the effects. Like when you talk to people that really understand like health ailments, one of the big things they all seem to bring up is inflammation. The like inflammation is like one of the number one sources of malaise. How do you say that malaise? disease, massive issues, health issues, and people have inflammation. Information, they think is a huge factor in cancer, huge factor in heart attack, strokes, everything. But inflammation is just fucking bad. Like anytime you're eating inflammatory foods, That's the big problem with sugar. That's the big problem with refined carbohydrates is that they produce inflammation in people. Like a lot of people that have like joint problems in shit, they go on a low carbohydrate diet and other joint problems go away. Like if you have like pain, your ankles in shit, a lot of people have found that just change in your diet makes that go away because a lot of that inflammation is just your body just not responding very well to your diet. But that's different people. So what does it say? I don't think I think about it being from a tree.

Hmm. Well, what does it say? It's comes from.

But I think it's what is a aspirin extracted from plant. Google that. Well, because I think aspirin was around way before they figured out how to make like pharmaceutical drugs. I think that shit's been around forever. Haha. There was a dude. There was a friend of mine who was a really funny comedian. Who would a willow bark? Willow bark, is he?

That's not a wishcraft doesn't sound like witchcraft. Mm-hmm.

Weeping below. Will is the one that's like sagged.

Ooh, yeah. That's a pretty tree.

Whoa. What's that one? It's frosted and what? How to make aspirin from a willotry? Let's find out how to do it. What do you go to do? Let's make our own aspirin.

Now you talk, I wonder if that's real. What if you could do that? Probably, huh? Why not, right?

Yes. Yes. So that's what you want to do, right? You want to quit smoking.

What's number three? Grow your dick.

We played the video a couple weeks ago of what of your your rat. We showed you screaming of your rat. Did we play it?

The screaming thing. Brian caught a rat in a trap and set up cameras.

So he went in there after.

She definitely took pictures of it.

I guarantee you, you probably had a ton of rats living in your house.

Yeah, but it's back screen. The rats are coming out of his house.

I guarantee you there's rats everywhere. Like you can't blame the sky.

You live in an area. There's backyards.

There's horses everywhere. You know where there's a fuckload of rats is a goddamn comedy store.

Every time I go to that back smoking area, I look for rats and you'll see I'm scaring across the top and I took videos of them. We were all hanging out in the back in the parking lot area where it says Mitty's commonly mitty spot only. It's fucking rats all over the place over there.

I just don't have rats. Yeah, we have tranchals. I caught a big tranchal. That's crazy. I don't know my Instagram.

Yeah, it's a big fucker in my house. Yeah, I put my sneaker next to it. Some people can see how big it is. Oh, he was big. I just, I just, but their potential is a pretty pretty mellow man. Like you scoop a mop, I put it in a box, I go scoop them up in a shoe box, put them outside. Yeah, they don't bite or anything.

I didn't come out of my shoe. I put the shoe down next to him.

Translust don't scare me. Black widows were much smaller than that and I see them all the time and they will fuck you up. Black widows are what's really scary.

Yeah. That's a, that's a fucking big bug, right? Would you ever eat that? Yeah, they taste good apparently. They taste like crabs. Well, they're in the crab family. Yeah, yeah. But I watched a, I watched a television show where these people were living in the Amazon, I believe, and they were cooking. See if you can find it. Amazon natives cooking giant spiders. I mean, and they had them, you ever see how they do? You need to look it up. Ladies and I hosted Fairfax. I can watch anything. I could literally watch people eat dicks. I have. I know. When they, they, you have to see those things that they make. It's almost like a screen and they put a fish down and then they put the other screen on top of it and they bury it and they're, no, no, like you could over a fire. You know, not a screen. It's like a bunch of sticks and the fish is in between the sticks. You know, it just basically just holds the fish in place while they cook it over the fire. They did the same thing with these giant fucking tarantulas. They cut them open, slip, split them up and lay them down on this fire and just put the tarantulas out there to cook just like they would cook like a crab or a piece of fish or something like that. It looked good. I bet they taste good. They're really bugs, you know like they call um they call lobster's bugs like that's the thing like those those divers they call them bugs. Oh, are they gonna kill it? No, yeah, see? Okay, they get these fuckers. Is it popping or mouth? Oh, they get really itchy because the hairs off of those bugs. They um they're not bugs really they're a whack-nance. But the hairs off the spiders. So they take it, they just look like little kids, man. Oh, they took them over the fire. But the thing is, man, I think they taste good. Somebody told me they ate them before. You know what it might have been less. I think less drought told me they ate them, that he ate them.

No problem, my problem. With chopsticks. Yeah. She put some of that duck sauce on it. Look at these kids. Mine's ready. But it looks like crabs. But why are we afraid of tarantulas but we're not afraid of crab? No, you know what has a problem cooking like you ever see like a lasking king crab alive. They're fucking legs like this long coming your house It's good point. You don't have to put a sneaker next to it.

That's another good point. But roaches don't have hair. And roaches freak you out.

Well, listen, I ate a roach. I ate a roach on fear factor. They taste like nothing. It's like nothing. They scored in your mouth. That's kind of gross. Like a gag, a little bit, and scored it. When I bit into it, because it's so juicy, But the actual taste itself was very bland.

Oh, I ain't one of those. Yeah, to make no hornworm.

That's not that strong still, but very mushy. Like if I was really hungry, I'd eat the shit out of a plate of those, those roaches. Right, yes. Yeah, because I was in Mexico last year. And we were in Cancun? No. Cobb. That's what you don't want to lose. Here's me.

Yeah. Just chewed up a goddamn storm.

Here's what I'm saying is, man, if I met this dude right now today, I'll go home. If I saw that dude today, I'd be like nice to meet you. Like I never, I don't remember medium. That's so great. My memory is such a dark shit. Wow. My memory is pretty good for like normal stuff, but I think I've seen too much. All these people, I don't know who these people are. This is where I obviously met them. That dude is going to town though, look at them.

Yeah, ludicrous man calming. I'll give you some tips.

No, I swear it's down a budget. Yeah, we're looted might have ate up that budget.

Did we talk about tyries in the rock funeral? Oh my god, did we talk about it yesterday?

I had no idea. I was on YouTube looking at something else. I was looking at some automobile thing and I saw the rock and then I saw the rock dis-in-tirees. And I was like, this is real and I went to it. No, it's real. They apparently, Tirees talked a bunch of shit about the rock. And the rock did a review of Tyreys' album.

And their man, Tyrese is like he's splitting up the family. Which means nobody wants to go see a goddamn Tyrese movie. That's the real problem.

He too. He's a sweetheart of a guy. If you mean him in person, too.

He's a fucking great guy, like a legitimately great guy. And he inspires a shit out of me. You know, a lot of people think that that meathead stuff, like in the gym, like push harder, get it done. You know, all work, all play, all day. You know, like all that crazy. I find him inspirational. I don't care if it's I don't care if it's simple and stuff. I think he's great. I love him. I was pretty good. Yeah, we got Jimmy's volume.

I need a little editing. But I like the point that I didn't know about. It's inspirational. But is that all that saying about gratitude? That's real. That's legit. And who fucking works harder than that guy? He's always on a new TV show, he's got 10 movies, juggling at the same time, probably sleeps two hours a night. Look at him. I could do without all these pictures of people hopping in private jets, though. I get it. Here rich. The private jet thing to me is just, that's a weird form of selfie, you know? Like the private gym, photos I get, but the private jet photos.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I think it's still pretty fucking expensive.

250 bucks go to Vegas.

After, after the Vegas massacre, tickets were like 70 bucks. Good to Vegas. Like, how does that work? Does the airline just decide no one's going to Vegas? We need to make it cheap and easy. Right. Where do they go in cohoots with the casinos? Like, I just haven't fast.

I wonder if they're in cohoots with the casinos, because here's one thing that I notice. You can't get a late night flight out of Vegas. They're like, oh, stay.

any time of the night so yeah

I think I stayed in that room. Almost positive I stayed in that room probably half. Because that was a corner sweet. It was a dope sweet. I think the fatigue is put me up in that room way back in the disay. I'm almost positive. I looked at that room. I'm like, God, that seems like super familiar.

Yeah, I'd stay there. I mean, fuck. It's one guy, one crazy guy. And now he's dead. But if you go online and read all the fucking rumors and all the theories, Jamie's one of them.

There's the Jamie's kind of a truth or he's a Vegas truth or

It seemed super normal sitting around listening to police scanner audio.

All right, but no, there was some reports of people shooting people in New York, New York, and there's, but here's the thing that you have to take into consideration. Whenever there's a mass shooting like that, there's chaos. And one of those chaos, you're going to get all sorts of bad information. People just like, they see things that's not there. No one knew where the shooters were coming from. People thought there were shooters in the crowd. I have friends that were actually there at the thing that Dodge bullets. One of the girls who works for the USC, she was one of the ring card girls, she was actually there. And she said, as she was running away, people were dropping right next to her. Like she's trying to run and people got shot like literally like a movie, blown people dropping and falling down right next to her. One of her friends blew out her ACL because a guy got fucking shot in the head and fell and landed on her sideways and blew her knee out.

Yeah, he was running away making a video. I just saw some croquet shot in the fucking head. He was right there at the concert. Fuck man. I mean, that guy planned that shit for a long time. I mean, I don't like to read too much into it, but that whole family's fucking crazy. The father was a serial bank robber who used to do all sorts of charity work so the people think he was a nice guy and then he'd do this charity work and you know hey it's just me just nice Mr. Fred and then Mr. Fred would go rob a fucking shitload of banks.

The father was a nut. He was a real sociopath. And then the brother, the brother did like this rambling 30 plus minute interview where they were talking to him after the murders. And all he just kept talking about was what a great guy as brother was. And his brother was so smart. And you know, he was the type of guy that if you wanted to, we just fly to Japan and have sushi. Yeah, or kill 50 fucking people like it's nothing. Like, what are you talking about? Your brother's a fucking serial killer. Your brother's a mass murderer. You know, you shouldn't be talking about what an eccentric character. You know, he wasn't like us. You know, he would win, win, win at the Casinos, and they copped him everywhere, and it's real weird. His brother talking is like a guy who's crazy, who's trying to not seem crazy. That's what it's like. It's like a guy who's trying to pretend like, I think just like you guys do. I mean, I'm perplexed. That fucking apple does not fall far from the tree. When you got a dad that's a psycho like that and he's raising kids, like there's a high probability that all those kids are fucking psychos too. This guy didn't do anything until he did this. That's another thing that's fucked up. It's not like this guy had this history of violence. He had planned this out and apparently gone to several music festivals and taking hotel rooms overlooking the arena. Probably plot it out in his head. When they found a note, people were the notes say, the note was ballistic calculations. He was doing ballistic calculations, like drop of bullets, like, you know, you're shooting someone, and you're, you know, you're at a certain distance, like some hunters have like a sheet of paper that they put on their rifle site. And the rifle site, they'll say, like, at this, you know, hold here, you know, at 500 yards, turn, turn to seven or six, or whatever they've calibrated it out. So this guy had those calculations written down on a piece of paper while he was donning people down out the window. straight up psycho. It's just hard to believe that's a real person. And if you believe people that are quote unquote experts in these sort of mass killings and these psychological outbursts, they think that they come in clusters that like this happens and then someone just saw that I want to be the next guy and then they do it somewhere else. So think about that or not.

I don't know. I think someone's trying to kill Trump though. Do you think? Did you had a guess?

But not just threatened. Like, do you think there's ever been a, like a meeting where they got behind closed doors, like some shadow government type shit, and they said, um, Do we do this or how do you want to do this? What are we doing? We're going to do this. This guy's talking about the seat. There was like a recent thing where he was blaming the FBI for something about Russia, saying the FBI was involved in suppressing information. And everybody's like, do you understand that the president of the United States is questioning the integrity of the intelligence community like how crazy that is?

He loves to do that though. He loves to make everyone else seem untrustworthy. I mean, that is his thing. Like his thing is about fake news, the failing New York Times fake news CNN.

I do not remember the term fake news.

But that fake news was kind of obvious though. That was like when they said that I killed a mountain line outside the ice house. You know, that was like fake news. There's another one. There's someone said that I disarmed somebody at the Comedy Store. A buddy of mine is a cop. Actually sent me a text saying, hey, wait a go. That's a tough situation to be in. I was like, what? He's like, you disarmed somebody at the Comedy Store. I go, what? I'm not disarmed nobody. What the fuck you talking about?

Well I was reading a story a thing was on dig about a Russian troll farm like that they have these businesses like these troll farms are like they're their businesses It's like, do you work at T-Mobile? No, I work at the troll farm.

Well, you were one of the original trolls, dude. That's his spice. Oh, yeah. We brought that up many times. Russian troll farm that weaponized Facebook had American boots on the ground. Okay. That article makes me annoyed. Maya. You're annoying me. That's all annoying me. How's it? Why is that term? That's such a loaded term. Weaponized? Go to it. Let's understand what she said. Twitter CEO shares tweets. Hold on a second. Is that Jack? I'm trying to get Jack in here. I see that conversations. Twitter CEO shared tweets from Russian troll farm, according account claiming to be a black woman. Oh, that's so good. Oh, that's so good. Um, Rihanna collects her humanitarian award year from award from Harvard. She kicked off women's history month with a bang reads one of the tweets Dorsey shared from Crystal One, Johnson, and March 2016. That's hilarious. So this woman like is tweeting all this shit pretending she's a black woman, but really it's, it's an account made by the Russian internet research agency with links to the Kremlin. That is wonderful. Crystal one Johnson. Do you think they killed their account? Go to her account. See if it's legit. I hope it's still there. Just just to highlight it. Crystal one Johnson. Please, please be real. Please be real. Tell me if you think it's real Brian. Yes.

Oh, she's still up. It's gone. It's counts suspended. Wow. God damn it, Jack. That was what she used to look like.

Oh, that's her tweets. That's the account. This is amazing. Like you look, she has a picture of a beautiful black girl laughing. And you probably didn't learn this in school and then she has a pick says Amelia Basana was the lady who wrote all Shakespeare's plays because she was black. They would not publish her work. She died in poverty because she never received a dime for her work. Shakespeare was a literate and could barely write this own name. What? Why are they running this? Because it's funny. Positive black. Well, so people will reshare that. Go back up to that tweet that doesn't show you how many people retweeted it. It's wonderful. I mean, that's like so obviously not true. Like she's pretending that some black woman wrote all of shit. I mean, isn't that like, wouldn't that be like the ultimate thing? Like the white man, the white male privilege of Shakespeare allowed him to steal. What is that? and fake what's actually an African American is no way is that real this is the real and Frank I believe that then and Aquisha Frank Jackson I think it's a joke she was a Jew from Africa the real land of the chosen people oh my god that is amazing but that's gonna that would trick someone who doesn't use the white a lot you know white washed fake No, she's like, she's pretending to be a crazy radical feminist.

Oh, that guy's probably Russian too. How many people that you contact on a daily basis are actually just Russian trolls?

Yeah. But what they're doing is very clever though, like it seems legit. It seems legit, right? Like that seems like a crazy person. Like I've seen many, many crazy radical black activists on Twitter that say things that aren't nearly as ridiculous as that. Or that's more ridiculous than, or that's less ridiculous than what they say.

Do you remember before retweeting was an option on Twitter? People would write RT, and then they would write what you said? I used to encourage people to write RT and just make up a bunch of shit that I said. And then I would go, this is outrageous. I never said this. How dare you? And people would just say, the most ridiculous shit, like, I love the taste of Cox and they would, and, you know, RT, Joe Rogan, just finally coming out. I was like, God damn it. But I just, I don't remember when I did this, but it was like the early days of Twitter because I was like, this is God, you could definitely just do that. And then people would believe that you said a bunch of racist shit or a bunch of gay shit.

Go crazy. I like it. This part of what I like about the internet is like, Did you read or did you listen rather to the radio lab podcast on Shilobo LeBuff LeBuff now I didn't it's fucking great. I sent it to Jamie It's fucking great. What is it called again Twitter truth trolls yet you have to find it because they took it down.

It was awesome Yeah, what the 4chan guys did was fucking amazing. This is what they did shy a love buff size his name the booth whatever that fucking crazy asshole's name you He was doing some weird art piece where he stood around with a bunch of other people and it was like, he will not divide us. He will not divide us. They would all say that. And then all these four-chand people found out about it so they showed up and started yelling a bunch of fucking Trump shit.

Okay, so this he will not divide us thing right. He would go to these places and say he will not divide us he will not divide us and people would show up and they would show up with like Kekistan shirts on with peppy the frog they would wear make America great again hats on and they weren't even necessarily Trump supporters they're just people trying to have fun right they're trying to fuck with people right so what they did was Shial above put up a flag in the middle of nowhere that said he will not divide us and then had a live stream where you could go and look at the flag as it's waving in the breeze, right? They found the fucking flag. They found out where it was. And the way they found it was genius. And it's all detailed in this radio lab. The fact they took it down is actually making me mad. Why would they? Because what these guys did was awesome, right? First of all, it was brilliant. They found social media posts that showed that people had met Shile above in some places. And I say it's fucking name. The above? They found out that they had met him in some weird place in Tennessee. So they triangulated where he would be, right? So then what they did was they went around. They had one of their members go around with a car and beeped the horn so they could hear the horn on the camera. And once they heard the horn on camera, then they knew he was there or then they knew the fly was there. So then they found out where it is by the stars. They looked at the fucking stars and they figured out where the area is. Because when it's nighttime, you can see the stars on the live feed, and they figured out what constellation it was. They went to the fucking flag, took it down, put a make America great again, had on it, a peppy, the frog thing up there, and the guy walks up to the camera and goes, fuck, shile above.

The fact of radio lab took that down. That's depressing. Why did they do that? Did they not understand what's happening here?

They're around 3,000 rental cabins in La Pant, La Pland. We just need to match the wood patterns. Easy enough.

These guys are animals. I fucking love this. I don't understand why they were mad. But this one I understand, I understand why radio lab would take that down. Why did radio lab take down the Twitter truth or trolls, troll truth trolls, whatever the fuck it was.

So the amazing podcast. It's really good. Like a news or it's one of my favorite podcasts. They have all kinds of crazy shit on. I mean, they have stuff on all sorts of different inch. Oh, radio lab removes its truth trolls episode from podcast feed. I was trying to find the actual, uh, does it say why?

But it's saying that they removed it, right? Obviously, they removed it. Okay, editorial, radio lab has decided to take down this episode. Some listeners call this out saying that, in telling the capture of the flag story and the way that we did, we essentially condone some pretty despicable ideology and behavior. Oh, come on. To all the listeners who felt that way and everyone else, please know that we hear you and that we take these criticisms to heart. I feel awful that the things we said could be interpreted that way. That's on us. It was certainly not our intention and we apologize. Come on folks. You guys are missing the humor of this. These aren't despicable people. They are saying things that are ridiculous because it's funny. Like there's a lot of people that say a lot of fucked up shit online. Do they actually mean this stuff or are they saying it because they are anonymous and because it's fun to say fucked up things online that you're not supposed to say. I would say the latter. I don't, I think there's a bunch of people that are really legitimately fucked up online. There's a bunch of other people that think it's fun because they're stuck at some goddamn soul-sucking job and some fucking cubicle somewhere and they have access to the internet. And so they go on message boards and they fuck around and they troll this asshole. Shile above is a dumb dumb, right? He's a fucking plagiarist. I mean, this guy's been busted for plagiarizing giant chunks of other people's work, right? Like, what did he get busted for plagiarizing?

I think that that gig being a fucking movie star is insane. I think it's insanely pressure-filled. It's way harder than what we do in terms of like dealing with all the people that like you and managing all the relationships and brief history of Shalibov copying the work of others. Yeah, it's like a ton of shit. What does it say? He plagiarized an apology to Alec Baldwin in 2013. He abruptly quit what would have been his first Broadway show, Orphan's due to creative differences that he couldn't get along with Alec Baldwin according to reports. The buff decided the best way to explain his departure would be to tweet out a photo of his email apology to the cast. and Baldwin by name. Unfortunately, parts of the prose sample a man owns up dot dot dot a man ellipsis a man grasps his mistakes was ripped off verbatim from a 2009 Esquire article titled what is a man people including the article's author noticed hmm barf Yeah, that's not that bad, but it is that he's plagiarized a bunch of shit. He plagiarizes directorial debut. His short film Howard Cantor.com premiered in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival until it was posted online December 16, 2013 that viewers began to notice that the film was almost an exact adaptation of a graphic novel, that's it with them one. By Daniel Close, best known for Ghost World. closed-told budge buzzfeed, which bought much of this story to public light, brought much of this story to public light. The first I ever heard of the film was the morning when someone sent me a link. I've never spoken or met Mr. LeBuff. I've never seen even one of his films that I can recall and I was shocked to see the least when I saw that he took the script and even many of the visuals from a very personal story I did six or seven years ago and passed it off his own work. Yeah, wow. I actually can't imagine what was going through his mind. He then apologized for plagiarism by plagiarizing a Yahoo Answers post from four years ago. He says, Comping isn't particularly creative work being inspired by someone else's idea to produce something new and different is creative work. Huh. Well, that's not totally copying what he said from the Yahoo's answers, but it's pretty goddamn close. Whatever. He's obviously got mental issues and whether they're real or whether he's trolling or whether he's having a psychological meltdown because of all the pressure of being an actor. This is a shitload of pressure and being in transformers. It's so gross. Some of them are great. Don't get me wrong. I met a lot of cool actors a lot, but I would say 10% of them are useless. That's a big number. That's a big number. I would say 3% of comedians are useless. My being generous.

Yeah, 3% maybe maybe 5% just loopy, but at the comedy store is even less like paid regulars the comedy store. I would say it's less than one percent.

The whole the broad spectrum of humans that tell jokes on stage. I ran into a buddy of mine, he used to work on fear factor, and he's now doing stand-up in Burlington, Vermont. He didn't even start until he was in his 40s. Wow. Yeah, I just said, how to fucking dream. I've got a dream. I've got a dream. And he just decided to start doing stand-up comedy in his 40s.

I want to say Dean was in his 40s as well. Yeah. Because Dean's in his 50s now, I don't think he's been doing comedy for 10 years.

He's pretty fucking funny now, man. I'll tell you what, Dean had to set the other night at the improv. He made me laugh hard. He had some funny jokes. I don't want to say what the joke, the bit about, but it was about people who don't wear condoms. It was fucking really well written.

Yeah, what's out about? There's a date. I don't know, man. That seems like not a good time.

Well, I was a data comedian. Oh, that's probably about that idea. It doesn't always go bad.

She just fucking swings monkey bars from one comedian to the next.

I think she actually is commercial cashers fruit fertile.

He's got that. He's got that good juice. Good juice. Good juice. Yeah, good. They would be great parents. They're fucking smart and shit. It reveals the worst parts of being pregnant in 2017. Oh, she is pregnant. Wow.

That's interesting because she was kind of cranky last time I saw her at the comedy store.

Yeah, well, she's well-dressed. Yeah. That's interesting. You had to pick like the funniest comedian couples, their top three. It's like rich vossy bond in McFarlane right there. I think I got to give the fucking title to the mummies. I give the title to Tom and Christina. I think they're number one as far as funniest couple, but Mosha and Natasha are right up there. They're both legit real, you know, top-flight stand-ups. And they actually get along somehow. Also the water champs, I don't know.

The day of the champ, they have like real competition with each other. See who's the water champ.

Well Tom is in the fucking the throes of our yoga challenge and he's lost a shitload of weight because he was just rantin about it like how great he looks he looks awesome dude he that fucking guy when we did that weight loss challenge he lost like what was like 40 something pounds and then just ran with it never let up never never went back to his old ways of eating and just stayed fit worked out constantly Yeah, and he looks great. Like, there was a picture him the other day that somebody put up on Instagram and I was like, Jesus Christ, like, look at him. He's skinny.

Well, that was Bert was talking about that. Like his mostly stories photo. He's got this big old moon face. And now you look at it and he's uh, he's all fucking thin sex day. We got to wrap this up dude. I got to abbreviate this one and get this out of here. Uh, quicker.

Did you do hot ones?

Helen Rae. Helen Rae.

But when it was over, did you feel good? Sort of like a near death experience?

Do you try milk?

It's cry. So you eat like those peppers
