SPEAKER_02
00:03 - 00:06
The child, Rogan, experience.
SPEAKER_05
00:06 - 00:09
Join my day, Joe Rogan, podcast, my night, all day.
SPEAKER_03
00:09 - 00:27
The drone, our good cigar choice, our short story. And smoking cigars with the ale, so much. I know a good cigar, Oliver.
SPEAKER_02
00:29 - 00:48
What a good for law. Yeah, this is solid. I've had Cuban cigars and I know this supposed to be better and I believe they're good. But I do not know if they're better. I can't tell you lie to me. You can give me a good Dominican cigar and I feel like damn Cuban nice. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03
00:49 - 01:10
You know what you like when you like it, you know? Yeah. Like I like I drink cabernet and you know how they come to the table and they tell you this valley and this and this and this and I just said nine hours and then I like it and I like it, you know? Yeah. What other than that?
SPEAKER_02
01:11 - 02:04
There was a documentary of talking about this before, but this is a documentary called Sour Grapes. And it's all about wine connoisseurs getting hustled by this dude who figured out how to mix wine to make it taste like old wine. And he put fake labels on them and he sold them for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Millions of dollars were the wine, this guy sold. Like bottles for a couple hundred thousand dollars. Unfortunately, he sold a fake bottle to the Koch brothers. And one of the Koch brothers, someone was like going through their collection. What the fuck is this? And he's like, oh, that's a rubber rubber. They're like, no, it's not. And then the next thing you know it, he gets his wine examined. And he's like, bro, you have a bunch of fake wine in here. and then they find out this one dude had been making these fake labels and blending these cheaper wines together to try to create a taste that's similar to a really expensive wine.
SPEAKER_03
02:04 - 02:14
That's ridiculous. The everything that he went through, he could have just made a wine.
SPEAKER_02
02:14 - 03:25
You think so, but he made millions. Millions and millions and millions of people. But he come from a criminal family. Like when they went into the whole family of it, like the family, one of the brothers had stolen a bunch of money out of a bank. And like hundreds of millions of dollars, right? Wasn't it like some insane amount of money? Do you remember that part? And, you know, he's on the run. He's hiding somewhere. And like, so it's like the whole family's been con artists. The whole life. And this guy just figured out a way to get in with these wine people. because the way he did it was pretty genius. First he went, start going to auctions and buying up really expensive wine. So he became known in the wine community. As this guy, like, oh, he knows. He knows the wines. He knows. And then he said, I'm going to get rid of some of my wines. You know, I don't need to have too much wine. I know where to store it. So I'm going to sell some of my choice wines to like, sell the bees. So they would auction off some of his choice wines. And then the winery found out. And the winery is like, we never made that label on that year. Like, this is all fake. It's wild though, dude. Because I think it's like people want exclusive shit. Oh, Cuban cigars.
SPEAKER_03
03:25 - 03:34
With sneakers. They find out some people are selling fake sneakers. That makes sense. And it's like, yeah, I don't know, you can make a sneakers.
SPEAKER_02
03:34 - 03:46
So yeah, it's leather. I mean, once you get past the printing of the soles, everything else seems like you could kind of do the only way that you can make a shoe exclusive.
SPEAKER_03
03:48 - 04:25
And this would be just utterly ridiculous. If your shoe was tried, was put on the foot of the person that's buying it. Like, right, formed. Can't Griffith, Junior, stepped in your shoe. At least try to put it on held in his hand and then they sold it to you. And that's it's good. He dealt with the shoe. Like all these can Griffiths over here are regular King Griffiths, but these are hand-held, right, King Griffith Jr.
SPEAKER_02
04:25 - 04:30
Snickers. And you would have to have like, chain of custody. We can see you.
SPEAKER_03
04:30 - 04:38
We see ways of photo of him with a video of him with a video shoot, putting it in the box and then it's coming to you.
SPEAKER_02
04:38 - 04:41
And maybe like signing his name on the inside lip.
SPEAKER_03
04:43 - 05:26
right on the tongue just a little bit not I wouldn't I wouldn't tell them what it was it would be something like they know when your shoe was authentic that you don't even know that it has like but you know this is our thing that you got paperwork on it but what makes it authentic I don't know let me see you and then they turn around and they put some light on it I mean like no no don't have it I don't know I don't know I don't know it's like What is exclusive? Like, if you sit in first class on the plane, are you really getting anything other than getting a bigger seat?
SPEAKER_02
05:26 - 05:32
But you're paying sometimes, like, way more. Like, what is a coach seeking me 400? The first class might be 2000.
SPEAKER_03
05:32 - 05:41
Yeah. It's, and you're going to sign a place of the plane went down. Like, do you live?
SPEAKER_02
05:41 - 05:43
Like, you're more likely to die.
SPEAKER_03
05:43 - 05:55
The people in the back live, like, the people would say, ah, Joe, I thought you was, I heard you was the plane accident. Everybody's telling you, like, yeah, I was the first class. Like, why would I be dead?
SPEAKER_01
05:55 - 05:57
Like, what? That's everywhere.
SPEAKER_03
05:57 - 06:26
Like, you and eight people, like, the plane and the, all type of flips and it's, I'm a fire, but you all have no idea, y'all still in front. Something's going on with that, I think. And then you get out of a box, the first class box. And he's like, wow, they know all that was going on. Everyone's gone. And they goodness this first class, he would have failed.
SPEAKER_02
06:26 - 06:36
People love exclusivity though. They love to be above the herd. Above the crowd. Look at me with my fancy clothes.
SPEAKER_03
06:36 - 06:56
I say, course, I want and realized that I had to walk up to get out. It was pissed. Like, all these dead, the furl I started going down, like, man, shit! Like, I gotta walk back up the way to get out!
SPEAKER_05
06:56 - 06:58
God damn it!
SPEAKER_02
06:58 - 07:04
Why don't they have a court side exit? Right? That would be exclusive. Really exclusive. You go through the locker room.
SPEAKER_03
07:05 - 07:11
Man, it was insane, and all the steps that I had to take to go do anything.
SPEAKER_02
07:12 - 07:47
I haven't gone to see a sporting event live in forever. And then I went the other night to an Austin FC soccer game. And it's like 22,000 people in the arena. It was great. It was a lot of, I never seen soccer live. It was great. I appreciate it now. I watched on TV, I'm like, eh, not enough action. But when you're there live and you see how fast those guys run and how much skill involved in tactics and strategy, but God damn leaving is a pain the dick. When there's 22,000 people trying to get out of the same two lanes, like, oh, right. And then there's a light up ahead. You gotta wait for the light to turn green. Oh fuck.
SPEAKER_03
07:49 - 08:30
It's, um, I thought of this because I had this new special that just came out. I thought as soon as it came out that they was going to invite me to a sports event like the shooter, the free throw if I'm on the list. Cause I throw the first pitch, throw the first pitch because in Houston, like I see other people, I see lesser celebrities shooting the free throw from the line for charity and I just be pissed. like why have they called me yet to I'm like I'm like special number four like what's what's the hold up like what's the hold up on who who who is not picking up the phone for me to shoot this damn shot
SPEAKER_02
08:30 - 08:51
Do you have a publicist that calls people for that? No. I think that's what it is. That's what it is. The people that get that, chase it. They chase that shit. Yeah. They, like, Hollywood, Walk of Fame, like the star, you could get a star. You just have to pay for it and have someone set it up. Like, there's a lot of people that have stars that are just, you never heard of them before. They just paid for it.
SPEAKER_03
08:52 - 09:17
He was walking, but yeah. Who is Rudy Jackson? Exactly. Like what he do? And he's like right by the Starbucks. He's like, he's like, walk down Hollywood Boulevard. And then you find out that the homeless person down the way is Rudy Jackson. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's

SPEAKER_03
12:16 - 12:22
Right? Like, what'd you, oh, you busted me with trying it, right?
SPEAKER_02
12:24 - 13:08
The thing about a fake Rolex is though, they can make a fake Rolex exactly like a real Rolex, exactly because they use 3D printing. So what they do is they'll take a model, like they'll do a computer model of every single part in a Rolex, they'll take it apart and then make an adduplic version of it. Every part, everything, every screw, every little wheel, every little mechanical piece inside that moves, and then they put it all together. Yeah, this is it right here. US Customs Board of Protection said it seized 460 counterfeit Rolex's shipped to the US from Hong Kong. You won't even be able to tell the difference, man. First of all, my eyesight sucks anyway, because I can't like, I have to put reading glasses on.
SPEAKER_03
13:09 - 14:33
So it's a Rolex that I'm looking for that they say that people is hard to find. It's the silver one with the green face. It's a horse to 41. If anybody in Hong Kong make one, making one of them just, you know, she didn't talk. It's like, the one I want. I'm like, you know, I be hearing about women getting gifted things that's on their wish list. Oh, yeah. I'm like, that shit now. If I put a wish list together, they were like, fucking bones. You're fucking bigger, I'll eat. Like, women can do it. It's weird. It's weird. It's always complaining about it. It's not always, but sometimes they can play no. It's just, it's a double standard. It fucking is. Of course it is. If I go on the internet and put on a halter type, and put a wet tissue, wet all the time on, and put it right up with my chest, I get no money. I get complaints of people, hey, I need $10 for them for the shit you put on in. People are requesting money from me, but you do it. Let a woman put on a wet heart attack right beneath the breath. I get this put on their donate. I guarantee you could be a millionaire.
SPEAKER_02
14:33 - 14:44
For sure. Easily. There was a woman who was working for a friend of mine. She was just in production of his podcast and she would take photos of her feet and put her feet on only fans and she was making $100,000 a month.
SPEAKER_03
14:47 - 15:06
showing her feet. The lady who does my feet has taken videos of my feet and I've seen them on her page of other Korean ladies laughing. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her.
SPEAKER_01

Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her. Look at her.
SPEAKER_03
15:13 - 15:40
I took one of the toughest dudes. I always take some hooddude to something that they deemed as some non-manly shit. And I'm like, yo listen, my man. My man probably died. He said his feet has been hurting. I said yo listen. You got to get you a pair of hockers. He was saying he saw you went and got them to my yo. I feel like I'm walking on fucking pillows and like hockers is the shit.
SPEAKER_02
15:40 - 15:41
Hooker like ranchers.
SPEAKER_03
15:41 - 15:43
Yeah, it's a great. Oh my goodness, great.
SPEAKER_02
15:43 - 15:43
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03
15:43 - 17:49
Best you ever made. So I said man, he got planified shyness. And I said, man, you got to get your feet done. That's the part of mental health, health care, you know, doing it getting your feet. He's like, man, I ain't fucking with it. I'm scared. I'm not doing it. I don't know why. And I'm ticklish. I don't know why I touch him. I got down feet. I'm like, I'm gonna go with you. And he's like, I don't even shit who go. I'm not fucking with it. I think listen, I got you. I'm gonna go with you. I'm gonna take you to my place. And he's there. I said listen, before we get in here, I'm, we getting the deluxe, we getting the highest package. They're letting them put all the time. She's on your feet. Man, A, it's cucumber. All the time with buttermilk, she's going bowling motherfuckers at acid. She's going to do everything to your feet. Trust me. Tough one of the toughest dudes. I'm like, I've had situations I've called him and he showed up with no problem. Like, yo, what's up? I'm killing everybody. But you would think that I was taking him to the electric chair. Like young man, are you going to come in the place tonight? He's looking at it like it's a set up like it's a mob hit like who all in that man listen elderly people come in with me coming in with me and feed me fucked up. You know what I'm saying? Listen so he says down takes the shoes off and as soon as he put his feet in the water, I'm talking to him the whole time. Just try to get his right off of it and he's like man, fuck more than the water bubbling bro. He like I see him easing up then she comes out with this train of all sorts of fruit and oranges put them on his legs like man type of fucking fruit salad shit is right when he's getting the cucumber rub between his toes and I'll let he look over me as he's drinking because they bring you drinks I'm having my most of he having an orange juice because he's my guy still on my toes and fuck you can't sell your toes in here man you toes in the water
SPEAKER_05
17:53 - 17:54
He's so high alert.
SPEAKER_03
17:54 - 18:50
This whole experience is not, this must be relaxing. I later come in and she, she put his, his massage chair. And he can see it even I want to. Before I know that he and Nestle, lady doing everything to his feet. She saw him, she taken off his toe, she doing everything. She, I don't know why the lady took his feet off and just took him to the back of her. She was like, yo, a lot of shit going on. She walked out, he walking out. He turns to me and said, man, God damn. That shit was amazing, man. got me some new feet I like he'd be back without me he would be back now without me you know what it go yeah but maybe sometimes it's hard it's like going to movies by yourself it's a big leap is it
SPEAKER_02
18:50 - 19:18
Some people man I go to the movies by myself at all for your comic and you go on the road and you go on the road Especially if you got an annoying opening act. Oh, you know if you go like if you go on the road and you go to Cincinnati and never in a Cincinnati before they got a local guy opening for you and he's annoying You know when you wake up and it's 11 a.m. You're like fuck what am I gonna do to I go to the gym? Well, it's playing in the movies fucking I'm gonna go to the movies by myself And I and I carbon deer
SPEAKER_03
19:20 - 20:15
both seats on the side of me with with vitals. I mean, cause if I'm going to movies, this is not a healthy experience. All the bullshit. Yeah. That's in it. I want sour patch kids. I'm sour patch kids. I want the twizzlers. I want, I, this is the only time I eat a box of fucking dead men. The junior men, I eat a box of shit. In the course of the movies, with nachos, I need my nachos, with jalapenos. I need my popcorn, jalapenos. I put jalapenos in my popcorn. Oh man, I just, I'm just gonna have so much bad shit. And I needed them both, Cheez. And I'm gonna sit back and I'm gonna watch. And, and I'd be on high alert too in the movie sometimes, but most of the time, I'm just in their relaxing. And I already have a exit plan though. So Mike coming up with some bullshit, I gotta exit plan.
SPEAKER_02
20:15 - 20:51
This fucking kid shooting yesterday is just, that's when you, when you think about the exit plan, like people always wanna think, You know, what would I do? What would I do if something happened like that? Like this elementary school shooting. This elementary school, it's the warm reading about it, the more fucked it is. They saw him go in. The cops didn't stop it. They didn't go in after him. He was in there for 40 minutes. For 40 minutes, a parents are outside this video, the parents screaming at the cops trying to get the cops to go in. Finally, border patrol gets there. Border patrol goes in and they kill him.
SPEAKER_03
20:55 - 22:24
I talked about it the day of because it it was on. I'm on radio and in Houston and it said comes across shooting on. You vowed it is what it said. So immediately we start trying to correct people because in Houston we have a street. You vowed it. And that's what people heard. So we went in correct in it and it's in your body Texas and I'm the first thing like this whole whole went to the school like in why And why are we still in this same position over and over again? We the level of concern that we have for children is really lackluster in this country because why is this continued to happen? Why is it no kid? Why was he able to even get in the school if you looking at him and you know he doesn't go if you don't want to stop him to even ask a question. Confused of why people with these issues go to the most, like what? And it's like, why this place?
SPEAKER_02
22:24 - 22:37
Why is it terrific? They do it because it's the worst thing you can do. They're shooting little kids. They're going to an elementary school kid. You're getting like eight year olds, 10 year olds. And the most horrific thing, the most innocent.
SPEAKER_03
22:37 - 23:04
And we noted this, we noted this is a possibility, right? And we noted this is happened. So why don't law makers make the law a law to be, if you commit this horrific crime? If you go in, the consequence is so dire. that we, this is kind of, this is a, like you get, beheaded.
SPEAKER_02
23:04 - 23:17
This is the, once again, it's back up to like, but these guys want to die, like, that's a death sentence. They know, like, if that guy's in there for 40 minutes, he's not trying to live. He's waiting for someone to come in and kill him. That's a lot of these guys. It's a suicide run, run.
SPEAKER_03
23:17 - 24:10
I think some, I think some, I feel like they go live and some I go make a movie about them. I think that, that you, you, you, you, because if, I would kill you before you even got. You walking up is going to be a problem because you, as soon as you walk it up to the school, it's going to be some resistance because they noted that there's no resistance to these places. We have to put up some walls of safety when we know that these things happen in this country and people's mental health and people. I'm not even blaming on mental health a lot of these things. It's this desire of sensationalism that a lot of these people have. And you should combat it at all angles of it. Prior to it, protection is preventive.
SPEAKER_02
24:12 - 24:32
Well, somebody pointed out, and it's a good point. How do we have $40 billion to send to Ukraine? And we don't have $40 billion to protect the schools. Exactly. Where's the money getting out? But I've said this about every single problem they have in this country. Every time there's like a report on the shootings in Chicago, Mike, how do we have money?
SPEAKER_03
24:33 - 24:55
to send to other countries when we don't have money to fix whatever's going on the South Side Chicago or Baltimore or If we have if we have this money how does it poverty right in this? Okay, so you find money for for other things, but you don't find money to correct the problems here exactly exactly it's almost like
SPEAKER_02
24:58 - 25:38
Well, it has to be, it's almost like it has to be profitable. Like you remember when we invaded Iraq and Haliburton got these no bid contracts that fixed all the shit we blew up. Give them a no bid contract. to fix Chicago, go in there, fix it, go in there, set up community centers, set up whatever you can do to protect people, set up whatever you can do to educate people, set up whatever you can do to provide people with better housing, make give them hope, give them the whole country, the whole country, you can be like, if you've got that much money to go in these other countries and fix things, and this whole idea of us being the police of the world, how the fuck can we be the police of the world? We can't even police our own backyard.
SPEAKER_03
25:38 - 27:34
How do I have a plan to eradicate homelessness, but the smartest people in this world don't have a plan? What's your plan? Simple. So in most cities you have these abandoned buildings. You have a lot of abandoned buildings. You go in, you refurbished this building, and you start people right at the top, and it's a tier system. as you tear out the door. So whatever your situation is, whether it's mental health, you get that fixed there, whether it's financial literacy, you get that fixed there. Whatever your situation is, you get fixed in this building. That this is what this recovery center is for. Then you put them in jobs within the building because it's granted ran by grants within the building. to heighten the skills that they already have. And you ask me what are their interests? What do they want to be? What were you before this happened to you? How does this have you get all that back information? And as they are tearing out, the money that's allocated for each particular client through this grant. Half of that money is being put to the side for when they get ready to come out. You're not letting them out of this program. just neck it with just the skills that they acquired in this program. You're giving them a lease on a new lease on life. This is the money that you acquire by being through this program. Let's help you start. Let's help you start your life from this point. And you invest in the businesses that they're that they start. You invest in it like whether it's a trade or you invest in these people. And with the notion of they're going to reinvest a percentage back into the building to help more people. And you keep recycling people back into the world. in that manner. So when you see somebody home, they're like, I'm home, I can't help myself. They're like bullshit. It's a building right there that helps every single person that even follows or houghton. And then you give people free healthcare.
SPEAKER_02
27:34 - 27:43
I bet if you did that for several generations, you could put a massive detonate. I don't think you'd ever totally fix it because you're never gonna fix abusive parents.
SPEAKER_03
27:43 - 27:53
Sexual abuse drug abuse when you're young. You get people out of them. You get people out of that situation because I was in a, I had a abusive step problem.
SPEAKER_02

The most advanced technology ever to be put in a shoe is the human foot. It's a biomechanical masterpiece. Meet Vivo Barefoot.
SPEAKER_01
29:24 - 29:38
They don't make shoes. They make footwear that lets your feet be feet. Naturally, studies show that wearing Vivo Barefoot improves balance and increases foot strength by 60% within six months from wearing them.
SPEAKER_03
29:53 - 30:30
The only way to remedy is it's to get out of this. Because you can't fix him. You got to focus on me and get me to safety. But if you cripple somebody thinking that somebody You put a person in the position, what they feel like they need that person. And so you make excuses for their behavior. When I see this all the time, and people like, why did this person stay? Why did this person do this? Because if they were handicapped, they was crippled. And when you feel like you have no other place to go, you stay in positions that's abusing you. That's what people do.
SPEAKER_02
30:31 - 30:38
That's definitely true. But the amount of resources you'd have to have to take care of every family, where every person is being abused.
SPEAKER_03
30:38 - 32:33
We have it because we can give it to, we can give it. We, we, we throw away more food in this country than more country than most countries producing a year. I will waste our waste ratio. If our waste ratio change, then our condition change. Yeah. Because if you allocate, if you allocate funds to the right thing instead of wasting funds. by even even with this. People say it's a misinformation and certain things. Yes, it is when the federal government doesn't allocate funds to certain people to eradicate the misinformation and media. In media, it's federal funds that go out to media companies. Why you don't get that to some of the black media outlets that you say that don't know what's going on? Because you're not helping. You're not helping the situation either. You're helping the situation. You're saying that people's number, if you know that the number one thing that cripples people in this country is health. And then you don't make it where they can have quality, free health care in this country. Then you don't feel like the consumer That you're the human being is the most important commodity on this planet. If you invest in the human being, and the human being does the good works that he's supposed to do with that investment, and they invest in more human beings. You create this utopia of helping and learning and not being and not having a phobia of, hey Joe, I need your help. That doesn't make me less than a man because I need your help with something. You're supposed to give your fellow man a leg up. That's what you're supposed to do. Yes. But we live in the what I'm not supposed to do.
SPEAKER_02
32:34 - 32:50
Yeah, and helping people feels good. It's good for you too. That's one thing we have to get into people's heads. Helping people feels good. It's good for you too. It's like people are selfish. They only want to help themselves. They feel like if I'm helping someone else, it's taken away from me. But that's not the case.
SPEAKER_03
32:51 - 32:53
When is that mind they come from?
SPEAKER_02
32:53 - 33:57
They just they just need a better well it's a it's a famine mindset the famine mindset is there's not enough to go around but there's enough to go around there's enough for everybody you know this is one thing that I always try to instill in comedians Because comedians are notoriously selfish. I think about themselves. I want to get a head narcissist. I want to get a head. I want to get a, why is he doing that? Why am I not doing that? I want to get, I want to get it. If you can help the people around you develop a community, when you develop a community, everybody wants everybody to do good. In our community, if one of us is killing it, everybody's happy. One of us has a special and that special's killing it, like your special, which is out on YouTube right now. When that happens, people get excited. Like, God damn, look at him. Look at this guy. Look at her. Everybody's killing it. That's good for everybody. And it gives the people coming up, hope. Like, I'm entering into a community if I work hard. And if I continue to like honor the craft of stand up comedy, I'm a part of this very small and tight knit community of people. There's not that many of us. And if we do that, we help each other. It's good for everybody.
SPEAKER_03
33:58 - 34:33
That's the, I think that's why Rodney Dangerfield was one of the ones for me. Like, yes, when people say, who are your influences? I'm influenced by more than just what you did on stage. You know, it's how your character, how you were as a person. Yes. and when he was not selfish, like, hey, man, I got a platform. Everybody is welcome to this platform. If you find it, let's do it.
SPEAKER_02
34:33 - 34:43
Think about the people that he blew up. Sam Kinnison, Dice Clay, Bill Hicks, Domarera, Rosembaugh, Rosembaugh, down the line, sign fell.
SPEAKER_03
34:43 - 36:11
So outside, man. Dude, it's so many people. And why not, why not want to be that in comedy? Or why leave that to another entity? I'm on the all stars of this. I'm on the actors of that. Like why leave it to other people and other crafts who heightened your craft? Why leave it to other people from other cities to say, my biggest thing is to get the recognition from my peers. Like, when a comic calls me and says, man, you're special. Classic, like, I'm putting it in this space. Yeah. This is because they know the craft. There's not a, you're not a spectator because it's, to spectators, everybody looks good to spectators. But when the people who know the craft are looking like, nah, you don't know what you're looking at, like, you don't know how special this is. Because especially it's supposed to be a piece of the person. And the people that call and say, I mean, it's as timeless. It's like, you really put a piece of man. You did it. It's insane.
SPEAKER_02
36:11 - 36:40
And that's what we work towards. You think about that when you're putting your bits together, you're editing them, when you're going over them, go, maybe that's a little too long, or maybe I need a little something there, maybe I need to trim that up, or maybe I need to explain that a little bit better. You want that thing to when it gets released, you get those phone calls like, dude. That thing was awesome. I think was awesome. And then and then you get, thank you. Thank you man. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. And then you want to do that to other people too. You want to be able to call them up and go do your special.
SPEAKER_03
36:40 - 39:39
It was amazing. It was that in that. I remember watching. I remember watching dance solos. son of Gary and I'm sitting there and fucking amazement I'm like this shit is good yeah I'm like yo this shit is fucking good like I'm a calvin yeah feels good like I'm sitting there like this shit is good man it feels good to call so many tell no to and I'm like I got damn it then so you are fucking amazing and that's the thing you know um I watched Earthquakes and I felt good for Quake. And that's the thing that you want to do in this business. I remember writing with Bill Bellamy on this special. And when he's getting ready to go out, and we talking, and my last words like, yo man, just cold, and just do what you do. And when it came together, I called them like, yo, I watched it live. I was at the whole process. And then shit is still good. The air would clear. I was like, and I think that comics don't understand, I'm not chasing other comics. In an aspect of the new guys, I'm chasing the class, like I'm chasing calling and class being prior in Eddie. I'm chasing them. So what you're doing doesn't affect me or change how I'm doing it because Man, it's been bad. It's like the memorable things that I'm like, I want my special to be in that when people say, man, live from sunset strip, elephant in the room, domino effect, I leave stick. I want to be mentioned amongst them. I tell people, I'm not playing the game for riches and all that. I'm playing for that yellow jacket. You know, a lot of people They, they satisfaction that you play football and you play through high school, you win the high school championship. Great. Then some people want to go to college when a college championship. Great. Some people want to go to the NFL and get to the NFL. They want to go to the all-star games. And that's fine. Some people want to win a Super Bowl. But some guys are playing the game. to, at the end of that, receive a yellow jet. They're not cool, which is being there. Right. They won't, the jacket. They want greatness. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02
39:39 - 40:05
Yeah. Inspire always to greatness, because even if you don't get there, you get pretty fucking excellent. Because if you're trying to get pretty good, you'll get pretty good. But if you're trying to achieve excellence, like real true excellence, or you can be proud of something. You know, even if you don't get to where you wanted to go, you get a lot further than where you would go if you have low expectations.
SPEAKER_03
40:05 - 41:24
This is the first piece of work that actually changed my mind on something. How so? People ask me, hey man, when you come to the store telling who is your top people, who the best storytellers in comedy to you. I used to say just like this. I say it would be Cosby, Colin, Joey Diaz, Eddie Murphy, me. And I say me, Joey, and Eddie, all three. I mean, we third, and then other people. I looked when I put the special together, and I looked at it. And I looked at the craft of the ability to bring people into the story. This is the first time somebody asked me at that, and I said, me, Cosby, then everybody else at that can sort that shit out. But I can't deny myself no more to put myself behind somebody when it comes to a story to like bringing you into a story. The different kind of art is a different art and I've gotten pretty goddamn good.
SPEAKER_02
41:25 - 41:59
That's the thing where Ari, when he put together that storyteller show, that was his idea. He was like, these stores are too hard to develop when you're doing a 15 minute set. I don't know, like, a stacked comedy store lineup. You know, you've got 10 fucking killers. You want to kill too. And if you're trying to develop a story, and it's a story about going to the park with your dad, It's a long ass story. Like people are like, where are you going with this? But if you could do it on a show that's just people telling stories, then you could develop it and tighten it and then get to the point where it might be your closing bit.
SPEAKER_03
41:59 - 43:01
Man, we didn't mean already to talk yesterday about this is not happening. Yeah. And he was like out of all of the stories. All the shows I've done. Mexon got on bullshit still my favorite goddamn store and he said I didn't know you We's gonna put you on the digital side of it and we was looking at the stories like God damn it It's like, and he was like, I didn't even know what you were talking about. And I was hanging on every goddamn word. And then it was like, oh shit, he's, she's crazy. Like, I'm like, no, I appreciate Denny said the next one was even more like Mitchell. He's like, then I started to like, he, his goddamn ability to tell his story. He's seen it to a different land like whatever land he's seen it to. He's making me see it to that same land. I have no goddamn idea what he's even.
SPEAKER_02
43:02 - 43:26
That's the beautiful thing about someone when they're really locked in on stage. I've always said this, I feel like I'm thinking through their mind. Like I'm allowing them to take over my mind, take me on a journey. That's why when someone's shitty or hacky or it's like, ah, why are you using my mind? Why bother? My borrowin' my mind. You know, like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. I can't watch this. I'm super sensitive to bad comedy.
SPEAKER_03
43:26 - 44:00
What? Like, can't watch it. Like, it's contagious. It's like, It's like, if I see you, and I never, I never thought this before, until somebody said it, and man, I just do did a bad set. And then he tried to shake my hand. I didn't want him to touch me. Like, I didn't want to shit on me. Like, don't put that shit on me. It's good to change. And I was like, oh, that's rude to shit. And then somebody did a bad set. And he walked into me. I was like, and I started walking the other way. Like, ah, don't touch me. Don't do that shit. You go, you go get me COVID. I don't want to.
SPEAKER_02
44:01 - 45:16
Wednesday night, Ron White had his friend. He claims he claims she's funny. I'm sure she's a nice lady. Anyway, she just didn't belong. You can't follow Ron White when you're an amateur. You just can't. You can't. You gotta be a fucking touring, rock solid, like a set up punch line, bam, bam, bam, good premises. You gotta be good to follow Ron fucking white. She was not. and she not only did she eat dick but then she came and hung out with us in the green room like fuck I gotta go up next so Tony's on stage killing and first five minutes he just roast in her and I'm back there and she's like making excuses and talking like oh my god I gotta get out of this room he dragged her into the green room now she's back there just just coughing bad comedy at us I'm like, oh no, so I start playing music loud. I'm moving around to dump Shadow Boxing. I'm not exaggerating, right? No, no. And everybody felt it. Even Ron felt it. Well, you know, wasn't the best set.
SPEAKER_03
45:16 - 49:33
Man, it's, it's weird because, oh my, me listening. First, big up to wrong white, classy, very classy man. He's the man. Ron, I just imagine getting this phone call. I'm getting it through Orlando improv. My agent Joe Ashman, who I love, dearly. Joe calls me and says, I just want to run this by you. Someone wants to, wants the feature for you. I'm like, no, I'm cool. I got my feature in Marcus Wilde. I'm cool. He's like, just hear me out. He's working on some new stuff. He's coming back. He just wants to be around the comic who is a good comic. Like Joe, who is this? You're taking too long. He's like, Ron White. I was like, I'm not fucking with some guy that stole Ron's white name. Like, Ron, white from Orlando, get the fuck out of here. He's like, no, Ron, white, white. And I was like, and I, and I, and I, and I doubled down and said, like, Ron, why, why, why, why, why, why, why. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like the man, man, man, you like, yes, I'm like, I can't even get my yes together. I'm like, yes, like, yeah, yeah, I'll get the fucking work around my head. Yeah, I said he wants to, he wants to have metal. He's like, yeah, he's got like 20 to 25 minutes. I said, do he want a headline? Like, I let him headline. Just a fucking, like, relinquish my weekend to ride, why did this come feature? I was doing some whole shit or whatever. He's like, no, he said he just wanted him. So I get them and I'm I'm already anticipating he's a legend. He's going to be in the green room doing the shit everybody knows like I like to be in my green room first and the invite you in but I'm relinquishing all that shit cuz it's wrong white I get there wrong white is the fucking constant professional. Not in the green room. He comes to the green room. He knocks on the door. He was running and I'm sitting there all like He got his bus outside. He's hanging his bus. He came over saw, hanging the green one with us. And he's like, I'm going to go out here and do the record is 20 minutes. So I just put together and try to get to shit together. Now I'm going out and I'm going to watch this fucking wrong way. Stellar 20 minutes fucking killing. Oh. I'm, I'm so caught up in what he, they about to introduce me. I'm in the back to him. Look, she was amazing. And we talking, and he's like, I think you got to go up. I'm like, oh shit. So I go up, do my, and he comes in the showroom. And he's watching from the beginning. And I'm doing my thing after the show he comes in, he's like, look at kids. You are fucking incredible. Like I try to give it to you. Try to rattle you because his shit was so crisp. Like it was still a class like he's like man. So the rest of the weekend we just chatting it up and just I'm like, I'm fucking kicking it. Real wrong white. And in my mom like man, these places. And every night, he's just giving me a little more something about, you know, you can go a little deep in that story, you know, because you're happy, you're happy, kid. And he, he noticed that I would start a story and stop and start doing another story. And he said, you keep leaving me, kid, you're like, I'm still trying to figure out what happened with your uncle. Like, I didn't go back. You're like, no, you fucking didn't go back. And I'm like, oh, shit, I gotta start going back. And I'm like, if she knows him, why are you not picking up the jewels?
SPEAKER_02
49:34 - 50:45
from you like you can't you gotta watch if you saw you you can't what when did you come when's the night when what time did you get to right when I right when I walked in okay you missed chaos it's impossible you can fix it it's like me breathing underwater it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen there's nothing to do You can't fix it. I mean, maybe on another time and another state of mind with different material, maybe she could do well. But in that moment, there was no fixing it. There's no advice to be given. She came up with a notebook. Yeah, you came up with notes and panicked. Didn't have the mic close to her mouth. It was everything was wrong. And I don't think she knew she was going to go up until like right before Ron went up. Ron told her he's going to bring I'm all bringing up. I'm going to bring up because at he coming to background this is the this was the first problem. He goes she's a really good writer. No, don't say that shit. This is what I want to hear. She's fucking hilarious. She's fucking hilarious. Can she do a guest set? Okay, I didn't. Well, friend of mine is a really good writer. Like, okay. What else? How she had delivering this writing?
SPEAKER_03
50:45 - 50:58
Yeah, I don't think any of my, any of my friends. I've ever said that they Bryson Brown is from Austin. He's fucking hysterical. Like, I guess I introduced him like, yo, this is Bryson Brown. He's fucking hysterical.
SPEAKER_02
50:58 - 51:16
Yeah, you want to grab a guess. Overall, assessment of their ability on stage, not like a little tiny area that they're good at. It's important area being a good writer, very important, but without delivery and timing and presence and never, it's, are you good?
SPEAKER_03
51:18 - 51:20
She's a good set up set up jokes. Excellent.
SPEAKER_02
51:20 - 51:39
She set up Tony Tony destroyed that lady that ruthless little motherfucker. There is no one alive that you want a bomb in front of when you're going to bring up like Tony because he will he rose to her. I mean he had seven or eight solid minutes just killing her when he went on stage.
SPEAKER_03
51:40 - 53:26
Yeah. That's what you do. That's right. You have to acknowledge the elephant in the wrong. And I hate. I used to hate doing it. I used to hate doing it, especially. I used to hate doing it. Period. But. Bill Bellamy, he's a nice guy, but he has a mean streak in him. That is outstanding. On the tour with him, I used to host this tour. And somebody would ask for a guest spot. And he would come in and like, I'll eat triple seven. Like, I was shit. Who would just ask for a goddamn guest spot? So now people don't know what we about to do to you. Like, I'm gonna come out. In use, I would do 15. I just skated into it. But I'm coming out with seven minutes of straight fucking home runs. I'm not, I'm stacking this shit on these people. People still laughing at the first joke. I'm on joke number five. I'm fucking stacking it on. And when I leave them, I'm bringing people going to be still laughing when I bring you up. They're not even fucking going to think about shit you saying because they still laughing from joke number three. And I'm gonna bring you up. And I'm gonna lead, I'm gonna sit you right in that fucking pressure cooker. And you're gonna say, and you're gonna, I don't give it down. You're gonna die if you can't fucking serve. Cause I put the output 100 foot wave on your ass. then you die and then I go up and I put another seven is a yo's dying on top of it and Bill's like I hate when people ask them to guess what it's like oh you're making evil man
SPEAKER_02
53:28 - 54:41
You said the fuck it, junkyard dog to destroy somebody and like, but for that person that did that set and bombed, if they can figure out how to follow you when you're crushing, if they can figure out how to ride that wave, that is so important for that lady, Missy Shore, that's what she did, every fucking time. If you were a good comic, because she thought you had some potential and you were young, she would throw you on after a killer. Who's on? Who's on the lineup? For me, it was Martin Lawrence. in the 90s. Dude, you never saw anybody eat it. Like seeing me going on after Martin Lawrence when he was in the leather jumpsuit days. People don't remember. They don't remember. 95 Martin Lawrence 1995 my god. My God, his timing is facial expressions, the power. Chris Rock, to this day, talks about a time where he bombed going out after Martin Lawrence and it changes career. Because he had been doing too many easy shows. He'd been doing too many of those New York City, like, sellers, spots, like, everybody's so happy to see you. You can kind of be casual, and he's headlining, and Martin Lawrence is throwing lightning bolts.
SPEAKER_01
54:41 - 54:47
The whole room is just, He was so good. He was so dynamic. He would pace the stage.
SPEAKER_02
54:47 - 55:01
He had so much energy when he would hit his punchlines and hold his facial expressions. You'd be like, God, I can't even watch this. I'm going to, I'm going to my death. I'm going to my death. I went to my death. I followed Martin Lawrence dozens of times.
SPEAKER_03
55:01 - 55:07

SPEAKER_03
57:12 - 57:35
wouldn't say that they went behind somebody that was just fucking a absolute monster like yo man, this shit is a problem. Like how am I gonna match this shit? Like I can imagine going up at the morning. He, Martin's still hungry. He out there fucking gettin' it. Who's in his 30s?
SPEAKER_02
57:35 - 58:38
It's Martin, Martin's in his 30s with a leather jumpsuit on. You're fucked. You're fucked. People don't remember man. If you go back to you so crazy, God damn he was good. In my mind, he's like, you know, when you talk about the greats, because, you know, he went into the TV show and didn't tour as much and didn't put out as much comedy material. So a lot of people that weren't around the 90s forget how good he was. Yeah. Did I deck on that to that guy? But it taught me how to ride the wave. It taught me how to start strong. It taught me how to cut all the bullshit out. To look at your act, like scrutinize it. Look at it with a microscope. Get rid of some of that shit that's not that good. Fix the setup. You better do it right. You better sound like a fucking professional. You're going on after one of the best comedians walking the face of the planet. And back then he might have been number one. He might have been number one and 95. He might have been number one. He was murdering. I mean, I would be in the background terrified, just hearing the roars.
SPEAKER_03
58:38 - 01:01:26
I remember times being places and you going up behind people that fucking assassins. Tony Roberts, I don't know if you know Tony Roberts, but he is so quick. It's just rapid fire shit and I use people used to be like, I mean, you can't kill anybody in follow Tony. It's nobody in play in follow Tony. And I remember being at a spot and if you was like, yo, Tony's up right now, you're going up next. Let me go. I had already been able to ride the wave of, like, I'm not going up to compete with Tony. I'm going up to do my shit. And I remember being offended doing this show that a person thought that I couldn't follow Tony any switched up the line up. And I was fucking pissed. And I said, OK. And I went out and I got a stand-innovation. And Tony Robbins was the person that said he was, he said he was right there when the production person said. So the first comic I got a stand-innovation, what the fuck do we do now? It was like, because you thought that I was like, they played me like I was some fucking throw on on the show. And they was like, oh, I just got a stand on vacation. And the air opened the door of his great room and said, what did y'all think he was going to do? You fucking disrespect to them. Because he's like, yo, he don't. It doesn't matter where I go. because I know what I'm going to do when I get there. And I learned very early on because I was going up behind people that Benchy Brown at the coconut grove improv. He was he had my full laughing so hard that the dude came in the green room and sat down and it was laughing. He's on his way from the bathroom. He just busted the green room and he said, man, this motherfucker killing me. He said, he's got the green room. He was on the way. He was like, and you could hear it. You could hear it because the green room was like right behind the stage. And you could hear it. Like Benji Brown is fucking destroying this room. And he's doing this This character, Kiki, and he's like, yo, and this is loud, pits ghetto girl, and he's fucking destroying this room. And then he stops and says, let me bring up the next topic. You like, God damn, it's people, it's people dead in here. Like, he's like, YouTube got to go out.
SPEAKER_02
01:01:26 - 01:02:06
The coconut grove improv is where I saw Joey Diaz put people in the grave, because Joey Diaz would go up there and do half his punchlines and spanish. And you would have like a 40% Cuban audience. And Joey Diaz would have, La Bingo. And he would hit some fucking Spanish punchlines. And people would just throw their chairs up in the air. They were falling down to the ground, knocking over tables. It was chaos. And then Joey was meddling. So Joey, this was back in the day where Joey was coming up and they would have like some road act whose, you know, did HBO in 1984 and, you know, kind of still has the same material and they would have to go on after Joey. I saw people quit.
SPEAKER_03
01:02:06 - 01:02:54
Yes, quit. That shit is fantastic when you like, yo man, this shit is David Wayne's. David Wayne's, I'm middle for David Wayne's. Because whatever his middle black was fucking up, and he said he was too dark, so they called me. And at the end of the weekend, I never went into Green Row. He called me in the Green Row on Sunday. He said, how does it feel to be a fucking assassin? I said, what is it? I used to do this to people. I used to fucking go on stage and destroy people. You're a fucking assassin.
SPEAKER_00
01:02:54 - 01:02:55
Are you moving to LA?
SPEAKER_03
01:02:55 - 01:04:08
I'm like, no, I'm ready. He's like fucking assassin. That's a nice feeling. But I believe, but I believe. I'm hosting this show. I really had a lady that was his middle and act. And after the first show, Bobby, we had the Houston improv, Bobby calling me in the room and the groom and saying, hey, I'm not going to fire you. I'm not going to fire you. I just want you to be honest with me. Are you a host? I'm like, I'm the host. Are you, you know what I'm saying? Are you a host? I'm like, no, I was like, I fucking knew it. And probably doing this shit to me, giving me the strongest motherfucking in the city. Because he said he's doing 30 minutes. I'm feeling the rest of the time. He's like, I fucking knew it. And Bobby was going out doing his clothes off first. He's like he's so fucking insane. Wow. It's out. Dix out. I'm starting with this. Like, not fukin' to bury me behind the fucking house. I'm not doin' it.
SPEAKER_02
01:04:08 - 01:04:19
Like, sometimes you have to do that. You have to go out where you're, you're strong a shit first. You can't dilly-dally. And someone murders. You better take them up to the same RPMs.
SPEAKER_03
01:04:19 - 01:04:43
And the thing is, I won't, I won't, the young cops out there that's listening, probably. Don't think that you murder in a headliner with the local shit. Like if it's local, that's yeah, yeah, you're not. I'm on my routine, you know, look at the fuck out here. They ever got one. If you murder, you got to murder with your shit. Real shit. Real shit. It can't be the the the fluff.
SPEAKER_02
01:04:43 - 01:05:20
You know, I lived in Boston and there was some of the best comics alive back then, but they all had local shit. And when they were going on the road, like local shit and Boston would kill at 100%, you go on the road, it was 30%. It was like the same bits. Nobody knew what the fuck you were talking about. Nobody cared about that accent. Nobody cared about those references to like the red socks. Nobody gave a fuck. And all those bits were useless. And those guys just stayed. Some of the best comics I've ever seen in my life. They lived in Boston. They stayed in Boston. And they got trapped. They got trapped by local shit. There were local celebrities. And they got trapped doing local shit. They never did the road.
SPEAKER_03
01:05:20 - 01:05:50
If I'm just saying, if you want to know how not to be locked into local shit, even if you in a place where you started, Look at my special. I shot my special in Houston. You can't tell it's Houston. I'm talking about things in Houston, but from a wide eye lens. But it's not about Houston. It's about life. It's about life.
SPEAKER_02
01:05:50 - 01:06:26
It's good. It's very good. And it's very intimate, which is I like. I like a special in a comedy club. I really do. I think there's something better about us. If I'm watching at home, I'm in my living room. I want to watch it in an intermittent environment, I want to be in an intermittent environment in the audience. If I'm watching someone on stage and they're in a fuck like Kevin Hart did his shit like 50,000 people. It's like Jesus Christ. How do I even pretend I'm there? But when I'm watching you and I'm watching you on stage at a comedy club, there's a normal-sized stage, intimate with the audience. You're seeing the people in the front row, you're smiling, you have them like, I'm there.
SPEAKER_03
01:06:26 - 01:06:32
I'm there. You locked in the moment. You locked in the moment. Where'd you do it? Houston improv.
SPEAKER_02
01:06:32 - 01:06:33
And can't tell because of the curtain the background.
SPEAKER_03
01:06:33 - 01:06:40
Yeah, we pipe. That's a great fucking room. That's a great fucking room. Four hundred people in me.
SPEAKER_02

That's nice.
SPEAKER_03
01:06:42 - 01:08:13
We just went on a, and the, the crazy thing is when people know that they come and to see you do the journey. Yeah. And it's, it's weird because the people who can't, I did, I did it during the weekend that I was there. So the people who saw me saw the show on Thursday and Friday is like, That shit didn't happen. So the people who saw it on Saturday got the whole Hollywood, because Eric Abrams, the same person shot my stuff for Comedy Central. And this is not happening with Ari. I got them. I wanted that look and Eric is a fucking great director. It's really not about him. It's about what you want. And he just suggests shit. Like, what do you think about this? Like, I wasn't thinking about it, but not I am. You know, he just suggests, like, do you really need that? Do you like? I don't. And it comes together. Him and Jordan joined the lights and It it looks like that was one of the things and then especially when somebody notices it. When my guy called me saying man, let me tell you the most amazing shit. It looks like a class. It looks like 1985. I'm like, pull it up, Jamie.
SPEAKER_02
01:08:13 - 01:08:42

What you think about, what you think about on Cops City? Which one? Cops, Cops, Comedy Club.
SPEAKER_02
01:12:26 - 01:13:08
The old cobs was amazing. I used to take a pay cut to do the old cobs because I used to do, I used to do the punch line, which was great. The punch line still great. But cobs, the old cobs was so intimate. It was maybe 140, 150 people just stuffed into a room. And it was just perfect. It was so intimate. And then the new cobs It's like this big high ceiling, and then there's a balcony, but it's way in the back. And the balcony is way in the back, and it's like elevated. It's weird. It's not bad. It's a great place, but it's not perfect.
SPEAKER_03
01:13:13 - 01:13:58
I don't even think, maybe it's me, because I guess I don't have a permanent audience just yet, but some of these clubs, and you go in, it's not even the club. The club is fucking fantastic, but the audiences that come there, you like them. I don't I a look do I need the read all the shit that I read first until y'all about it so I can come do so you can be familiar with some of the shit that's going on in the fucking world like like where like what I'm right off the back Toledo Toledo Ohio is like fucking pulling teeth.
SPEAKER_02
01:13:58 - 01:14:01
It sounds like a place where you be pulling teeth. Like Toledo.
SPEAKER_03
01:14:01 - 01:14:24
It's like Toledo. I'm gonna say sometimes Syracuse is fucking weird. Upstate New York's weird period. Syracuse Albany, like I damn it man. anything outside of Chicago, any of the clothes around outside of Chicago, you like, I love y'all over here.
SPEAKER_02
01:14:24 - 01:14:33
But that levitown that was that what it is? Lefty life. No, no, the improv, no, Shomsburg. That's where the Shomsburg. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03
01:14:33 - 01:14:41
Oh, that's kind of Chicago. It's uppity is shit. It's like suburbs. It's like, I don't know the fucking thing. Like, you fucking know, like,
SPEAKER_02
01:14:42 - 01:14:46
It Chicago though Chicago's a great comedy city in here.
SPEAKER_03
01:14:46 - 01:15:29
Fuck that's a great city. I miss jokes and notes that was a place that I and I played the Xanies that ones There was a great it was a great experience. I like I like some of the old nostalgia clubs too when I go there You know that it's been here for a long last time and or a weird like a weird spot that I go to the punch line in Atlanta, where it's inside the landmark, the landmark diner. I hate the green room, but I like the fact that I walk through some crowded, chaired room, and it feels like they're still smoking. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02
01:15:29 - 01:15:33
The old punchline was great. Oh, man. It was beautiful. It was amazing. That was amazing.
SPEAKER_03
01:15:33 - 01:15:37
That was an amazing room. And they got rid of it.
SPEAKER_02
01:15:37 - 01:16:10
Well, I think they lost the lease or something like that. It's just like being a comic and being a professional comic, being able to work these places and touring the road. When I was a kid, man, that seemed to me to be like an impossibility to be a headliner and touring the road and being able to work these fucking amazing clubs, like the punchline, like Xenis. It's like that was always the dream. One of the things I love about those old places too, like Xenis, is you get to like look in the wall and you'll see like old headshots, headshots from the early 80s.
SPEAKER_03
01:16:10 - 01:16:28
I think they, um, this is a room that I did I like that I'm very, very comfortable in. What is it? It is in, um, it's in North Carolina as well. Charlie Goodnight. Yes. That's a great room. I, I think they, they move in the building as well.
SPEAKER_02
01:16:28 - 01:16:30
I think they did something different.
SPEAKER_03
01:16:30 - 01:17:01
I haven't been to the new place. Man, I, I, I like, I would go down and look at the old pictures and then go play, uh, because the, it's an nostalgia to some of these roles. Yeah. I like going that, but when you think about shooting, the room feels warmer, you feel like I can do some other things to the room to make it a little warmer and just go in and fucking crush it. They got good audiences in certain places.
SPEAKER_02
01:17:01 - 01:17:17
Well, they have a long history of having, like Charlie Goodnight's been around a long time. So everybody's come through there. So all the people that live in that area know that you go to Charlie Goodnight's on any Friday and Saturday night, you're going to need a great comedy. They only get great comedians there. It's like, if you're going to work there.
SPEAKER_01
01:17:18 - 01:17:19
It's a classic club.
SPEAKER_02
01:17:19 - 01:17:51
There's also a next door, honky talk bar, and that was my first experience with country western music, like not even live, but just like, you know, place where people listened to it. We went over there. It was me and Duncan, and I think Joey, and we went next door, and they're playing music that I've never heard before. But everybody knows the words and they're all singing along. Down by the river, you know, like they're all singing along these songs and like fucking hooting and hollering and they're like, this is like I stepped into another dimension. I'm like, what is this?
SPEAKER_03
01:17:51 - 01:18:45
It is. Man, it's weird. I can go into this same dimension. Alan Jackson. Like, I grew up, I didn't listen to the country music, but I knew about country music, because my granddad would watch Westerns, and you know, you listen to Hank Aaron, not Hank Aaron, or what's Hank William's Hank Williams. And then this guy, Alan Jackson, I'm just flipping through the stations on time. And I heard, you know, like when you go to another city, you put on a scan and you're going through the radio station trying to find a radio station. And way down town on the chatter hoochie, this is what they call me. A whole bunch of loving in a hoochie koochie. And I had to find out who the fuck's on this home.
SPEAKER_01
01:18:45 - 01:18:48
I'm like, in it. Hey, look at him. Look at him.
SPEAKER_02
01:18:50 - 01:19:34
Look at that outfit. What when did that fucking song come out? That must be like 1985 or something like that. Like we're gonna be stressed. It can't be. Got to be. It seems like it's from another time. Shout out. Way down yonder. Way down yonder. I just was stunned by the fact that there was like a whole other world that I didn't know about this country, Western world, and all these people were into it. And then I would do local radio, and they'd want to talk to me about NASCAR. Did you see NASCAR? Did you see what Dale did? And you're like, what are you talking about? Like, they were everybody knew. They knew about NASCAR the way most people know about the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_03
01:19:34 - 01:21:44
I've been in NASCAR. It was like one time. One time. And Dana was the, this is the first time that she was the lead car. So get there. It's an amazing experience. Like we went into the pit. We went into the trailers. Like they have enough stuff in a trailer to build another car. Like they tell you how many cars they carry with them, just in case this is something happens. And they have enough stuff and they're trying to rebuild a car. And they, some of the pit crews are ex football players that got into this for competition. Like they, I didn't know they had pit crew competitions to see who can change everything the fastest and a lot of these people are extra football players that still need the competition and they get getting on and so we get that and I never forget about how when the race started all these cars take off and it's so loud and how I was rooting for the last car so all these cars were single I'm like go he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like a last last but the incredible thing was Ray Lewis did the start up did the start while Frazier was there And all the attorneys, all the attorneys for last call were young black women that the graduate from law school and that were all their attorneys like they did all the legal stuff like. But the audience is all white people just, it was food, it was like the campers and some of the little shots you ever want to see on a human being like damn, like all of the shit was exciting to me. I'm like, why does she have on boots with these shorts? Like the shit's on it.
SPEAKER_02
01:21:44 - 01:21:47
But you know what I want to go to that I haven't been to?
SPEAKER_03
01:21:47 - 01:22:11
The Kentucky Derby. I was in town once I was in Kentucky. There was her that's why I could not find. I had to stay in across the river. Like it was no hotels in town. I was trying to stay at the sealed box and I'll let you know. and it was so ritzy. I didn't get a chance to go, but I would love to go to her.
SPEAKER_02
01:22:11 - 01:22:42
I didn't know interest until I read the Kentucky Derby's decadent and depraved by Hunter S. Thompson. I read that and I was like, Jesus Christ. and his depiction of all these rich fucked up people gambling and betting on these horse races. And what the scene is like, that it's this wild social scene of these decadent, depraved people, all getting together. And I was like, oh my god, I gotta go. I need a book of gig around it.
SPEAKER_03
01:22:42 - 01:23:14
I was, I was interested in saying things comes from so far different places. You want to go and hear all the rich people doing so what I want to see the chaos. I want to go to the Kentucky Derview because the first 15 when I read about the Kentucky Derview how I started the first 15 we all won by African American Jockeys and how the purse came about in the history of it and That's why I want to see the chaos
SPEAKER_02
01:23:17 - 01:24:27
Well, I'm a giant hunter as Thompson fan, you know, until like when I read his writing about it, it just like brought me that like I could I was appreciating his appreciation of the this just the fucking scene just the wild scene of it all and how crazy was him as a writer as a journalist going there to cover it and he's covering it on the acid and he's all fucked up and they're drinking all day and you know, and in hunters writing was always like that was always this wild mixture of pure exaggeration and fiction with fact and reality and like an assessment of the social dynamics, like a psychological examination of the people that were involved. When did he write about it? That was one of the first pieces that he did before. I believe he did that before he did his big sports illustrated piece, which turned out to be Fear and Loading in Las Vegas 1970. Yeah. So that was, and then Fear and Loading was one. I think fear and loading was his breakout thing. They hired him. I feel like they hired him for sports illustrated to go and write about like a seventy one is when that was published.
SPEAKER_00
01:24:27 - 01:24:28
Yeah. Same time.
SPEAKER_03
01:24:28 - 01:24:32
And so it was the first Kentucky Derby ever rain.
SPEAKER_02
01:24:32 - 01:24:35
Oh God. Let's take a guess. Let's take a guess.
SPEAKER_03
01:24:35 - 01:24:39
I'm saying 1920. I'm going to say 1890.
SPEAKER_02
01:24:39 - 01:25:05
Yeah, I think it's like a hundred. It's a done hundred and plus 1875 but when a thing becomes a thing like a place where people go and they know they're gonna go get fucked up and they know they're gonna gamble and like it becomes a thing where the big hats with feathers and shit and the ladies were all their jewels. What is going on here? Is this that that can tuck you down? He's running across the porta potty and people are cheering him on like this kind of shit.
SPEAKER_03
01:25:05 - 01:25:15
He's throwing bottles at him. Yeah. There he goes. It's so fog different from the original Kentucky Derby. Yeah, did he fall in?
SPEAKER_02
01:25:15 - 01:25:16
Oh, no, did he?
SPEAKER_00
01:25:16 - 01:25:24
He's carbonated shit. He had been ran in there could have been doing like mud sliding or something. Oh Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_02
01:25:24 - 01:26:02
Oh Jesus Christ. He definitely fell in the shed. Oh, that's so unnecessary. I wonder if Hunter like caused more people to act more crazy there because his writing was so influential and so popular. I wonder if he probably accentuated the experience for people that wanted to go to just get fucked up and just watch. But it's like you have the aristocrats, the socialites, you know, the people that go there and they wear their expensive suits and they're big rings and they pull up and showford cars and they get out and do a bunch of debatory, right after they got to.
SPEAKER_03
01:26:02 - 01:26:12
Yeah, debatory. It's right after that. I don't have an underwear. I don't know, but I don't have one on the way.
SPEAKER_02
01:26:12 - 01:26:33
Like, you think about these experiences that people have, like, these kind of places. Like, if you're one of those people, you're like some oil barren, and you got crazy money, and every year you go to the Kentucky Derby. I imagine you just get used to being around all those other kind of people, and then every year, everyone kind of wraps it up a little bit. You know, ramp up the chaos, ramp up the cocaine.
SPEAKER_03
01:26:33 - 01:26:39
So that, that I might have grown started. That's a good question.
SPEAKER_02
01:26:39 - 01:26:41
Mardi Gras gets started. Mardi Gras is good.
SPEAKER_03
01:26:41 - 01:26:45
Like, I can't, corn about is a pretty intense. I've never been to that.
SPEAKER_02
01:26:45 - 01:26:48
Have you been real? Yes. Really? Yes.
SPEAKER_03
01:26:48 - 01:26:53
That's wild. Oh man. The... Oh.
SPEAKER_02
01:26:53 - 01:26:59
It's like your famous for people, it's like New Year's Eve on steroids.
SPEAKER_03
01:26:59 - 01:29:16
It's, I went to this club called Help Disco Tech and you needed. Help disco tech. I wouldn't add them in even night when they give you a leaf. You put your clothes up and they give you a leaf and you in the club just a leaf on. That's it. And this club holds like four or five thousand people. All what leaves on and it's so crazy that they know that you cannot get to the bar. They know that you can't get to the bar. They have bartenders with coolers strapped to them. They in the like on the floor and different places and they flip the cool up and they make your drink right there because they know you're not going to be able to get to the bar. It's insane. And despite it's a live band. It's like 12 pieces. Live band. And it's fucking insane. And you, if it's 5,000 people, it's 1,000 men and 4,000 women. If it's 4,000 people, it's 3,000 women and 1,000 men. And I know we went in. It was, maybe about 12. I know I came out there with eight, 30 in the morning. I know for facts, it was eight, 30 in the morning. And it's right off the beach. And it's like, this shit isn't sane. And when you fall on it, like, yo, and you look, it's like, people, you're not even, that you didn't even see in it. Like, oh, she was in that game. Like, damn, oh, she had, like, cause you in your element, like, I never left. Once I walked through upstairs, I never came back. Like I walked through downstairs, I would have said, I never came back downstairs until it was time to leave. Like I never came back downstairs. Like it wasn't happening. I was having a great goddamn time. Like I walked out of my hotel and it was maybe like 30,000 people on the street, on the side street dancing. It was people on the bus, it's people on the street and I just walked into this shit and I was like, I was just like, like I was just in men. Rio was insane.

So it's like just put 12 football fields together. Right, stack them up. That's how they coming down the street. And it's people on both sides that's cheering for their summertime. It's insanity, man. I've never parted. It had to be a million people. And once, like going in and coming out was so insane. Like I parted in, I parted out. I parted to concessions. I parted in the line. Go to the bathroom. I, I, I, man. I may have sex on the street. I don't know what I was doing. I was fucking insane over there. Like it was hot man.

Look at the size of that.
SPEAKER_02

It could be like, go over his travels. Right. Those people were climbing up.
SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_03
01:32:36 - 01:32:55
I did a movie live from Rio and we was at this. You did a movie there? Yeah, live from Rio with my boy Ben Williams. But was it? We just, it's called live from Rio. It's 10 Black guys traveling. We supposed to just start, we, we supposed to go here and then we supposed to go to Tokyo.
SPEAKER_02
01:32:55 - 01:32:56
What's like a documentary movie?
SPEAKER_03
01:32:56 - 01:33:01
No, we were just traveling and I just 10 me and out and about.
SPEAKER_02
01:33:02 - 01:33:06
And so he just filmed it. Is that out? Can someone see that?
SPEAKER_03
01:33:06 - 01:33:59
Yeah, I from Rio on the cover is me and his guy named G. G got killed by a tenant. Like he, um, in his building. Yeah, it's house. Like he was written his house out in the tenant killed him. And, um, weird, but I still have some, I still have some of the DVDs that we did from that. And who can it, did the, um, the soundtrack for the DJ, the soundtrack from after that, um, Snoop and Farrell went to Brazil and shot, and shot the video, shot the video, shot the video. Brazil was fun. I think Brazil was, Amsterdam was a wild time for me. I'd had a good time in Amsterdam. But Brazil, by far.
SPEAKER_02
01:33:59 - 01:34:19
Brazil, just a history of Brazil when it comes to wild shit. I mean, that's the birthplace of the UFC. They figured that shit out long time ago. They were doing no rules fights in the 1940s. Ilyo Gracie was fighting people from Japan in the 1940s. They would have these big fights. They'd come over.
SPEAKER_03
01:34:20 - 01:34:31
Speaking of fights, June 12th, me and a comic man Steve Brown was supposed to do something, he said he's gonna do something, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02
01:34:32 - 01:34:32
What do you mean?
SPEAKER_03
01:34:32 - 01:34:37
Like a boxing match? Really? Yeah. He's on Instagram.
SPEAKER_02
01:34:37 - 01:34:40
I think I can take it. Oh, boy.
SPEAKER_03
01:34:40 - 01:35:30
He told somebody else and then they told me. And I was like, how much is he worth? He say 194. So that is 2015. I said it. I said all the time. I'm like, yo, he took 05, 2010. Is that I already know? He don't know how much he got that way. Is that And that's my boy James that's my that's my train of James and He's Steve Brown put on that he wanted to do something like well I come in town and then people there you go Steve Brown it what people can't do this to me you can't say You want to box me you know my schedule. I'm not gonna be in town until the I met Tyler in the 10th and he left. Well, you know, I'm out of town. I said, well, stay around. Stay around. And then we get it in. And James, some of the James heard of James, like, shit.
SPEAKER_02
01:35:30 - 01:35:34
Do you want this guy to lose it anymore? What do you want?
SPEAKER_03
01:35:34 - 01:37:15
Like 170? I'm 160. Yeah. I'ma go down by the time we five go down 10 pounds. And he is gonna what? Probably wake coming in at three hundred and ten. And that's going to be the worst day of his life. He couldn't really see it. Because he's going to be exhausted. Like, I'm, I can move around on him for at least the first round and then start punishing him. It's because how many rounds are you going to do? He said three. And I'm like, oh, let's take, let's go a little deeper. Yeah. That's me. I'm like whatever, man, because I know I think people don't understand about boxing. This is a, when you fighting, Your mental condition has to be, physical condition definitely ought to be in order, but your mental condition, because this is not the punch and bag, this is not the gloves. Right. And all you can do is for fight like spawning. When you spawning the next day, Some shit is wrong. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like Body size hurt hurt a lot. Oh, yeah. And if you're not conditioned for that type of punishment, because you're going to get hit no matter how big and how good you think you're going to get hit. And I don't, I'm not going to take no steam off of a punch for you. And I say, well, we don't have to get no head gear. Even the head gear is a problem.
SPEAKER_02
01:37:15 - 01:37:17
Headgift's not good. I'd rather have no headgift.
SPEAKER_03
01:37:17 - 01:37:23
I'd rather have no headgift. Can't see that good. Especially when somebody keeps turning your goddamn headgift.
SPEAKER_02
01:37:23 - 01:37:38
Yeah. And there's a real argument that it causes more of a rotation of the head because it puts a bigger fulcrum. Like you have more weight on the head and there's more mass. So somebody clips you and your head spin and more and your brains rattle around inside your head more.
SPEAKER_03
01:37:38 - 01:37:47
Because if you if you don't get your headgift turn and now you can't see and I'm a It's gonna be some old shit coming behind.
SPEAKER_02
01:37:47 - 01:37:54
Is this something you want to do a lot of? Like, is this is someone talk shit and you were ready to do it?
SPEAKER_03
01:37:54 - 01:37:59
My thing, my ultimate thing was I wanted cat. Cat said he started boxing.
SPEAKER_02
01:37:59 - 01:38:02
I know we talked about that last time. Has he responded?
SPEAKER_05
01:38:02 - 01:38:04
He not going respond.
SPEAKER_03
01:38:04 - 01:39:13
He knows it's the type of fucking punishment that it's going to mean. Like, I'm not going to lose. I mean, I want to I want to beat you, but I think I'm easing up on him because people, I, how do you need to let some things go? And I'm like, yo, watch this special. It's hard for me to let things go. There you all feel that things go, but I don't mind the physical combat of fight. I think it's the stress relief. I think when you get a chance to go with somebody that wants to go, that's the thing. You got to be with somebody who won the box and who won the fight. Like with me and James, James, a professional fighter. when he want to go, you know, let's go. And I know this is this going to be a hard day because he's he no matter how hard it starts. Me and you can start. It once you get hit the shit chain is like, yo, I know I leave my friend, but I'm gonna fuck you up.
SPEAKER_02
01:39:13 - 01:39:14
I gotta get my lick back.
SPEAKER_03
01:39:14 - 01:39:17
I gotta get this.
SPEAKER_02
01:39:17 - 01:39:53
It gets chippy. It's hard to find sparring partners where you can just bar. Where like you just get hit like that. Get hit like that. Where you're not getting lit up. Where you're not in a fight. You know, it's just sparring. Some guys, if they're cool with you and you're cool with them, you could just bar and you'd touch them. You touch each other and you can do that a lot. It's very beneficial because you get your timing in and you get real rounds in. It's not fighting, but it's tightening you up for fighting. So you'll have these reflexive movements. Like you'll see a check hook and it just, it's just there. It just comes out because you've done it so many times.
SPEAKER_03
01:39:53 - 01:39:58
Yeah, like my man time, a manual just fought on Victor T. Really? It did.
SPEAKER_02
01:39:58 - 01:40:00
Victor Ortiz is still fighting?
SPEAKER_03
01:40:00 - 01:40:06
Yeah. What is he doing now? Yeah, him and Todd are manual. I think it's on YouTube to not fight with Floyd Maynwell.
SPEAKER_02
01:40:06 - 01:40:25
There was one of the weirdest fights ever. He had put it in. He had butted him and then he tried to apologize. And Floyd said, yeah, boom! Dropped him with the left foot and he's like, oh no! and then stopped him. That was receiving a pull that up. It is one of the craziest fights ever.
SPEAKER_03
01:40:25 - 01:40:33
He fights out of the same gym, mainstream, fighting gym, like with arms. So this just happened. Registrobo, he, he, he, he, the fight out of the same.
SPEAKER_02
01:40:33 - 01:40:42
Oh, this is on the limo undercard. Uh, who, it was at Benavides, who fought, limo, make spinna? Yeah, Benavides fucked up limo.
SPEAKER_03
01:40:42 - 01:40:47
So, Todd was, he was in, in, in his, how they do against Victor Ortiz.
SPEAKER_02
01:40:50 - 01:40:51
Big sigh.
SPEAKER_03
01:40:51 - 01:40:57
It was a good fight. Did he lose? He lost. I think it went to the scorecard.
SPEAKER_02
01:40:57 - 01:40:59
Victor Ortiz was a world class fighter.
SPEAKER_03
01:40:59 - 01:41:41
At one point in time. I think, I think, Todd, you know, when you watch in the fight, like he hit me and give me some tips about something. I'm like, Todd, I mean, like, yo, he was doing something. But you know, when you watch in the fight, you're like, why the fuck? Because you're sitting there, like, why fucking keep doing that? Like, when they were break, Victor would just start like some of the breaks when they go back and he started throwing punches and I'm in top he covering up and I'm like fucking don't do that just and every time he didn't do that like he he didn't cover up he's someone's victim came in pop he hit him with one like keep doing that shit and I think that's sometimes because it's a middle game it's like
SPEAKER_02
01:41:41 - 01:42:13
It's also he looking for brakes. Guys, look at take a little break. Let me know what you cover up here. So here it is. So this is when Victor T's in his prime. And you know, it was a good fucking fight. I mean, he had tagged Floyd and look at that. Here's the head butt. There's the head butt. And I think then look at this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And then he hugs him. He kisses him. Didn't see the kiss. Then they take a point away from him. And he touches gloves like I'm sorry. I got carried away in touch. Okay. Okay. Boom. Bang. That was crazy.
SPEAKER_03
01:42:14 - 01:42:16
Fuck, he's here, but me.
SPEAKER_02
01:42:16 - 01:42:44
And nobody's also like, defend yourself at all times. He thought that they were gonna be friends, and then he just gets stopped like that. I mean, it's the end of his career, essentially, because he never really reached world-class level in where people were thinking about him as being a world champion. That was the fight, and he had been in movies, right? He'd been in a couple of movies. Was he in the expendables or something like that? And he was like a big movie. And that was it.
SPEAKER_03
01:42:44 - 01:43:00
That's the same attack on Floyd. He was attacking Todd. And I think Todd knocked him down in like the last round. Like he got him. And it was, I think the score call was too late to something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02
01:43:00 - 01:43:15
But how old is he now? Victor's got to be like 37, 38 years old now, right? If I'm guessing 35. Man, so when that Floyd fight happened he had to be in this early. There he go.
SPEAKER_03
01:43:15 - 01:43:16
He got him. There he go.
SPEAKER_02
01:43:16 - 01:43:29
Talk got it. Come on. He didn't with it. Oh, that left fucking the right. He got it. Oh, he dropped him. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03
01:43:29 - 01:43:34
Shit. I got it there. 35. He like, yeah, you got me.
SPEAKER_02
01:43:35 - 01:43:43
You know, it's crazy that Floyd is still doing these exhibitions, making millions. Oh, did you see the one he just did? Yeah, he looked fantastic.
SPEAKER_03
01:43:43 - 01:43:46
I'm sorry. Like, I ain't got a haircut for this shit.
SPEAKER_02
01:43:46 - 01:43:46
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03
01:43:46 - 01:44:07
Exactly. I think he's enjoying that look going out. Whooping people as like, yo, for millions of dollars. I ain't got a promote this shit. I'm just showing up, see if I can out ask what it's like. It's like Floyd wait to get hit. to see where you at, with your power, and like, okay, now I'm gonna fucking demolish you.
SPEAKER_02
01:44:07 - 01:44:12
He was holding the ring card girl's card and walking around. Like, do you see what he was doing? Oh, shit.
SPEAKER_01
01:44:12 - 01:44:13
He held up the card, right?
SPEAKER_02
01:44:13 - 01:44:44
Between rounds. He walked, Floyd walked around with the card. He put on a show, because he's like, it's really smart, because he's giving them the money's worth. It's not just a boxing exhibition, he's putting on a show. He's laughing and dancing, he's got a big smile on his face while the fight's going on. And that was a guy who he had inspired before. Would you fight? No. No. I'm too banged up. I'm too old. I'm not interested anymore.
SPEAKER_03
01:44:44 - 01:44:49
Muscle memory alone. You'll probably take somebody out. Just me and Muscle memory.
SPEAKER_02
01:44:49 - 01:44:53
I'm not. Yeah. I mean, probably. I could fuck some people up.
SPEAKER_03
01:44:53 - 01:45:21
It's not interested. It's a man. It's an old man in our gym. Main street. He, he looks like a problem. Like, just from, he's so rugged and so hard that I would never even play with him. Like, just go up and put your hands up just from must remember along with him fucking destroyed. Just like, like, he just does it so much like the shit of the problem.
SPEAKER_02
01:45:21 - 01:45:40
Some guys can keep it up. They can, like, Floyd, 45 years old. Looks fucking amazing. The best examples, Tyson, 55 years old, and they're still talking about him fighting either Logan or Jake Paul. Like, that is crazy. And I don't know what would happen.
SPEAKER_03
01:45:40 - 01:45:49
Uh, if Logan Paul would be ties and I would fucking just, I would, I think Jake would probably be the better fight.
SPEAKER_02
01:45:49 - 01:45:58
Jake would be able to have you. The better one is Jake. Jake's the one who knocks people out. Logan, Logan's more of a boxer. I would fucking just die.
SPEAKER_03
01:45:58 - 01:46:10
I can't believe that would happen. I would just, I'd like, because Floyd went, when he fell Floyd, I think Floyd was really when Floyd got tired of the bullshit. He just put it on. He put it on. He put it on.
SPEAKER_02
01:46:10 - 01:46:10
He put it on.
SPEAKER_03
01:46:10 - 01:46:31
He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on. He put it on.
SPEAKER_02
01:46:32 - 01:46:34
Oh, he's definitely not on that level, but I think he was too big.
SPEAKER_03
01:46:34 - 01:46:46
And he was, I'm telling you, it's a partner fight with Floyd, snapped his neck back and I was like, oh, shit, he gone. And Floyd was like, you can see Floyd holding him up, like, don't fall. I don't even know what to say.
SPEAKER_02
01:46:46 - 01:47:43
I noticed that. I noticed that. Floyd was definitely outboxing the shit out of the house. But the difference between Floyd and Mike Tyson is Floyd's 155 pounds. Mike Tyson's 220. Solid is a rock even if he's 55 he's on all the Mexican supplements He's on everything. They got they they use electrical muscular stimulation on him. You know what they do? They've seen those things they do to build you up. He does exercises where they put these oh he talked about it on the podcast where they do these pads connected to wires Yeah, and so he's doing these exercises and these things are like charging his muscles and it makes your muscles develop faster and better Oh shit. Yeah, so when you got back in the shape, yeah. My wife does that shit. You slap like these electrodes on you and do squats and shit and you're like stimulates your muscles painful. But apparently, as a big effect on the way your muscles grow, I would let it go in the hot box and talk to his, oh, Tyson. He's great to talk to.
SPEAKER_03
01:47:43 - 01:48:36
Just to get so high. just to talk to him about his stay in prison. One was in like, it was a different than, because I know this is the thing about what people want to send about prison. People like what Tyson was in there, like who gives up? Like in prison, I wouldn't be scared, because you can't be scared of anyone. I can't show that in you guys the response, like I wonder what people Because I know people in there that we've been like, you know, for this dude named Brown. Like I never, I never would tell this story, but with Brown Brown was a fucking monster. Like I remember being an SSI, it's like you a custodian. And I was cleaning up lock up. And I didn't know what Brown looked like. I'll just hurt him. He was in the sale. He was in close custody. And he would be hitting this metal door when like he was pissed.
SPEAKER_07
01:48:36 - 01:48:38
He would be hitting this door boom boom.
SPEAKER_03
01:48:39 - 01:51:32
Boom! It was like a fucking civil bag gorilla was in this goddamn, but I was like, oh, the fuck is that it? Like on this brown. And when you defeat him, you gotta don't get people to trade. And you can't really see because of low box. When they let him out of close custody, I mean, I actually laid eyes on brown. The day that he came out. He came out of the cell and he ducked. It's like fucking green mouth. And like I had never even saw the green mouth. That brown is a huge, six, eight man. That was fucking, he was huge. It was another guy on the unit named Ween. That was from Vegas. He was black and Italian. That's how I learned about the pink fluid out. He sung every song. He knew every song. My favorite song was Company No. He was singing that shit all the time. And he's this Italian dude. And he's huge. He looked like Lou for Rick No. He's huge. And I weighed by what? One, one, twenty, one, twenty, five. and Brown and we and fucking loved me. And they would always be fucking, I'd be playing basketball. And they had universal weights on this particular unit. And they needed more weight. Because they would do the stack. And they needed more weight. And I'm like the perfect size. And Brown and we and what you were seeing walking towards the court. And I'd be coming down the car, I'm like, yo, man, gone over that bullshit. They were like, man, either I'm gonna fuck up the game. or you're gonna come over and let us get a couple sets thing in here, but I'm like, what are you going on with me? Fuck out, y'all ain't the ones. Gotta go and stand on this shit, like I'm standing on the universe of weights. I'm like yo, two sets. That's it. I'm gonna fuckin' step on your chest. I'm on top of the universe away from the hold on to the U.S. Brown. Yeah, I just wanna fuckin' talk about it. I'm staying on the way. I fuckin' hate y'all. And Brown used to, we had this thing called Jag Mac that we would eat. And most people chopped it up and put it in soups and with many of the novels of the shit to make it a spread. He would put it out the can. And just put it on bread, the bones, the skin, everything. He would drink the juice. And there's to be like, yeah, don't stuff. These people don't know, and he was so big, but he was like a fucking... time bear when he would talk to me like, man, my mama died. I ought to kill everybody. I'm like... Brown is not the way you saw that. And how old were you? I was 22. You were 19 when you went in? Yeah. And would you go in for being a street farmer suitable route which is very frowned upon street farmers? Very frowned upon
SPEAKER_02
01:51:35 - 01:51:56
What a great description. These three pharmaceutical reps. But meanwhile, being a regular pharmaceutical rep, you could do far more dangerous things. Crushed people's lives. Far more destruction. Yeah. Link sanctioned. Link sanctioned. Yeah. And not only that, you can hire a lobbyist. Yeah. Somebody that lobby for you. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03
01:51:56 - 01:51:58
Hey, the world needs to use opioids.
SPEAKER_02
01:51:58 - 01:52:00
Yeah, more, more.
SPEAKER_03
01:52:00 - 01:52:01
Everywhere. Fitting all.
SPEAKER_02
01:52:01 - 01:52:02
I heard they're not even addictive.
SPEAKER_03
01:52:03 - 01:52:14
Yeah, we gotta study. Street farmers in a go around me. Wow, it's my scratching at your dog. I can't you have more for now.
SPEAKER_05
01:52:14 - 01:52:23
It's not a detective. Yeah, it's the week last year.
SPEAKER_02
01:52:23 - 01:52:30
They had the highest number of deaths ever from overdoses. It's the number one cause of death between people age 18 to 49. Wow.
SPEAKER_03
01:52:33 - 01:52:38
Over 100,000 people. I'm still thinking diabetes, but I don't think so.
SPEAKER_02
01:52:38 - 01:53:08
The diabetes is probably like number three. I think hard attack is number two. What is a cause of death 18 to 49? I believe number one is opiates. And it's all a lot of it is fentanyl that's getting mixed industry drugs like people who buy ecstasy. They think it's just ecstasy. It's got fentanyl. Buy coke. It's got fentanyl on it. So those people. Like the shit that happened those comics in LA, that was Coke with friends and all.
SPEAKER_03
01:53:08 - 01:54:46
Me, um, I, I look back and I, and I noticed that I wasn't that type of person. The author out the, I'll throw out my years of destruction. I wasn't that type of like this special is from from 10 to 15. The next one would be from 16 to 19. But in that I wasn't because I didn't I didn't Especially when people watch it there know that I'm not this hardcore criminal or I came from some bad family where you had to sell drugs and make it like my mom had a job and I'm just out being influenced by the people this outside. I never, I never understood what couple things in this in that life. I never understood, as I got older, I never understood why I was no honor amongst these, why were you making these transactions so dangerous and so hard? And then I never understood people doing things to their customers just for the stretch, you know, like adding drugs to the drug that you're selling, like I never understood that desire and that like I still don't understand like why would you make something with something else? It's like what's the like you have to say like goddamn like what's the deal like I just don't understand the concept.
SPEAKER_02
01:54:46 - 01:54:57
I just want to get the most amount of money. You know, some people, they just, they get caught up in numbers. They get caught up in what they can do and they don't have like a moral or ethical structure.
SPEAKER_03
01:54:57 - 01:55:11
So I'm selling you apples because you consume. You want to my customers that you buy my apples. Why would I put something in the apples that's going to kill off the people who buy my apples?
SPEAKER_02
01:55:12 - 01:56:03
Well, there's two things going on. One, there's cartels. And the cartels don't give a fuck. The amount of people that are going to buy their cocaine is endless. It's the only way to get it. It's coming in over the border. They're constantly bringing it in. And if they can cut it and make more money, they don't give a fuck. And if they sell it to you, you think you're going to buy what you bought last month, but you're buying a totally different thing now, because they decided to try a new formulation with fentanyl. and maybe you do one bump, you're okay, maybe you do two bumps, you're dead. That's the fentanyl deal. It's fentanyl. You've ever seen the amount of fentanyl that'll kill you, like in comparison to a penny. It's crazy. Pull it to the image. When you see it next to a penny, you just go, what the fuck? It's like laid in the water. It's the tiniest amount of fentanyl that will kill you. It's like a hundred times stronger than heroin.
SPEAKER_03
01:56:04 - 01:56:09
It's like, it's like, it's just a fact. It's being okay with a little water, a little late in the water.
SPEAKER_00
01:56:09 - 01:56:15
Oh, would you say gin? Yeah. It's like a can't be right because it's given to people as a, yeah. So, but that's so they're giving them less than that.
SPEAKER_02
01:56:15 - 01:56:40
They're giving them less than that. Yeah. They really are. No, I know it seems like a can't be right, but if the folks that are just listening at home, we're looking at a penny from 2012 and the amount of fencing that'll kill you will cover up the number 2012 and that's about it. It's a small, it's Lincoln's beard. Lincoln's beard is the amount of fentanyl that'll kill you on a penny. That's just crazy. And that's real. Look at it.
SPEAKER_01
01:56:40 - 01:56:44
Look at it. It makes it hairline. Yeah. What is this other shit?
SPEAKER_02
01:56:44 - 01:57:06
Car fentanyl? Oh, there's one that's worse. Jesus Christ. So 1.2 milligrams of fentanyl will kill you. And then 0.2 of car fentanyl. Well, you know, value per milligram is $250. And you have 0.2 milligrams.
SPEAKER_03
01:57:06 - 01:57:11
I'm quite sure my whole angle took more hair on the net.
SPEAKER_02
01:57:11 - 01:57:29
Well, I think you could develop a tolerance. You know, Mitch Edberg had a crazy tolerance, apparently. They tried to get him to clean up and he's like, nope, nope, I like heroin. Damn, yeah, died on the sword.
SPEAKER_03
01:57:29 - 01:58:00
I think that comics. should be the most healthiest people. Like, they should value and they help a lot. Like, we own a role. We're in different environments all the time. You travel in. You're in different hotels. Like, your health should be a priority. Yeah. To you. And I know some of us, we just fought. We fought. You eat terrible food. If you, you know, you eat a lot of these clubs. You eat another club. You eat every chicken fingers.
SPEAKER_02
01:58:00 - 01:58:09
Yeah. Yeah. But you have to have energy to perform. If you really want to be at your best, you want to be vibrant. You want to have energy.
SPEAKER_03
01:58:09 - 01:58:16
You know, if you drink in every night and... Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02
01:58:16 - 01:59:15
And if you're doing Coke. You'll get the guys who petered out real like kinnison petered out worse than anybody but it was just party in every night. It was all coconut alcohol and if you go and watch kinnison for make 86 and then watch kinnison in 1990 it's like it's a shadow of himself four years later shadow of himself not like almost like a parody almost like someone was trying to do a kinnison impression that like a you know one of those impersonator shows yeah you know someone does a you know look it takes his guy Yeah, Houston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Who were talking about it last night in the Green Room? There's a video out there. So if you can find Kinnison doing revival preaching. I know there's a video out there of him on on one of those in one of those tent revivals doing doing like Jesus preaching. It's wild. Yeah. He was so powerful.
SPEAKER_03
01:59:15 - 01:59:33
He was a, he was a dope comic. He, him and, um, They have a values to tell me stories about being with him at the time, being around him at the time, because they was all coming up together. And sometimes, they people forget about the, at the, it was a fucking list. She was a beast.
SPEAKER_00
01:59:33 - 01:59:37
Fuckin' a legend. There it is, this is the 36 minute recording of it without video.
SPEAKER_02
01:59:37 - 01:59:38

02:01:14 - 02:03:10
Scoot it up to us. I'm a hero myself. I'm praying to myself. You don't do something on time. My hands by the end of this year. I just don't know if I can do this anymore. It's too demanding. It's too draining. People are getting entirely wrong image of what kind of person I am. Amen. Amen. And I repent for it. But day at that kind of life out there. Hey, man, but I'll tell you this.

I have one spiritual friend out there that's it out of all the people I know out of all the people I deal with and talk to. I know one spiritual friend you say well, you go to different churches out there. I've tried and they're nothing but the law. I don't need to know about being saved. I've been saved. I don't need to know about being filled with the Holy Ghost. I've walked in it for the last 12 years. It takes a lot to feed me. Amen the law doesn't cut it you little list of the rules doesn't cut it because you can't this is why the world won't accept it Amen the priesthood is gonna have to come to humanity humanity's not gonna come to the priesthood Amen.
SPEAKER_05
02:03:10 - 02:04:33
It's why Jesus left the temple by the morning amen Praise God, they tried to accuse him of all kinds of things. They said he's a blasphemer. He's a wild member. He's irreverent. He's not a true teller. He's a liar. He's bells above. He's this. He's that. And Jesus said, listen, amen the well. Don't need a physician. I didn't come for you. I came for the lost. I came for the lives without hope. People without an answer. People living on the edge of their existence. Amen. Not telling you people would do their job spiritually. They'd walk in this spiritually. You wouldn't have the drug and that's good rate. Amen. You wouldn't have the alcoholism and the youth that you have in this country.

SPEAKER_00
02:05:14 - 02:05:18
Yeah, you gave him a little taste. That's impression, that's not really, you know, just doing himself.
SPEAKER_02
02:05:18 - 02:06:01
Yeah, he's doing what he's just saying. Well, that was someone to ask them, could you do, could you preach again? Do you have the Lord still in you? I mean, imagine if you were in that tent watching that guy perform like that, I was like, God damn, what a charismatic mother fucker. And then four years later, he was strumming through H.B. He was like, hey, the fuck just happened. He must have been doing some comedy back then, because if this was 82, and that was his last sermon, he must have been doing sermons and comedy at the same time. Look, look at that.

SPEAKER_03
02:08:23 - 02:10:15
I haven't told a story, but it's a guy Houston. I was at a wake from my friend Andre Reverend Dixon, Jr. Oh, he told a story. This shit was so hysterical. I'm trying to find a way to put it in my show because it's a point to it. about knowing what you have. He said, he up there, he preaching, and he said, he bought a horse. He said, I'm a country boy. I bought a horse from a man, and I wrote the horse for the first time in a parade. I'm in a parade, and I get by the band, and the band starts playing, and the horse starts Dancing, moving. I can't control it. I'm trying to get this horse under control. And I can't control it. And I was sitting there listening to this story and I was like, what are you going with this? And he said, then the band would stop. And then the band started playing against the horse. I can't control me dancing. I call him, I get through the parade and I call him. And I say, hey, man, this horse said, been broke. He can't obey. He said, what you doing with the horse? He said, I wrote him in the parade. He said, okay, what happened? He said, a band start playing the horse. Start moving. I couldn't control him. He said, oh shit. Oh, cause he used to be a show horse. He used to dance to bands. He's the whole point where I didn't know what I had. He thought that the horse was bad, but he was a show horse. And when the bands taught playing, he started going into the routine. And I was like, and everybody was trying to get a message. I'm in a diet. And I'm like, oh, this shit is hysterical. I'm like, who bought the horse that don't know the fuck the horse?
SPEAKER_02
02:10:15 - 02:10:17
That it's a show horse trained to dance.
SPEAKER_03
02:10:19 - 02:10:27
I was like Reverend Dixon that she is hysterical to me. I'm like, and I'm like, I gotta find a way to put that in my neck about not having it.
SPEAKER_00
02:10:27 - 02:10:30
Oh, who is this? So I thought you were talking about.
SPEAKER_02
02:10:31 - 02:10:32
Who's this guy?
SPEAKER_00
02:10:32 - 02:10:39
Oh, this is a Mississippi. He's gotten on as the floating preacher. Oh, he got, but I think he gets stuck like halfway down. He got to be on his way.
SPEAKER_03
02:10:39 - 02:10:43
He got to be on his way. He got to be on his way, right? The Janet Jackson. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood.
SPEAKER_00
02:10:43 - 02:10:51
It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood.
02:10:51 - 02:10:55
It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood.
SPEAKER_01
02:10:55 - 02:10:59
It looks made of wood. It looks made of wood.
SPEAKER_02
02:11:02 - 02:12:18
There's something that they have a showmanship. Yeah, there's an entertainment value to the way they present that you could learn something from. Because like, like, that's one of the things that always bothered me about the alt comedy scene, the alt comedy scene specifically in LA. They didn't want to try hard and they didn't like it when people tried hard. They would get upset. Like if someone came on the show and like, how's everybody doing? They're like, What is he doing? He's trying. He's trying hard. It's like a lack of entertainment value. They wanted, it's almost like they wanted the bar super low. And they could just go up and go, so Starbucks the other day. And so the barista, you know, there's a barista Starbucks. It's a, you know, fancy word for a guy who poured your coffee. you know there's like this all style of comedy that's like very low energy you know very reference oriented you know they put up they say a lot of like obscure references to be clever and if you're like a powerful comic click if you're like a guy's got a lot of like a bobby lead type dude who runs up there and has all this energy yeah they don't want you there they don't want you that you're fucking up the show by being too funny
SPEAKER_03
02:12:18 - 02:14:12
It's a weird dynamics. Terrible dynamic with comedy, like me going into the alt scene. Because I go in there. And then I think that I'm like them. Because I'm slow and methodical. And it's like, I don't think he's like us. Like, like, no, I'm not. Like, it's a weird dynamics. And then you end in. It's the same dynamic, which is crazy to me. It's the same dynamics as me going into a hood room. They want certain things. And I'm not giving them that. I'm walking up. I'm sitting down and you hear people say, you all right. You all right. I'm just sitting down. There's something wrong with me sitting down. And they mind like, why would you be sitting down? It's standing up kind of. then I go into what I do and I have to win you over because I think that it's a thing with stand up that the audience a person goes and see they're not adventurous in their entertainment value when it comes to saying like if you like a bruise bruise or earthquake why don't you think you would like a ours you feel in a Joe Rogan like what like what would make you think You don't, you don't, you wouldn't like them. I don't think that my style is that. So you come to a I'll leave the deep show with a preconceived notion of what you feel like comedy is. And if I'm not doing that, then you sit in a like, what is he doing? I'm being the human being that I am. And I'm a deliver if you don't come to my show looking for me to be another comic.
SPEAKER_02
02:14:12 - 02:15:02
Right. That's the thing that Scott comedy has genres, but it doesn't. It's like, if you go to see live music, you never see Wu Tang Clan followed by Alan Jackson. You know, it's like it's a style of music. If you go to a rock concert, you expect rock. You don't expect folk music, you know? And like, but if you go to see a comedy show, you can see It could be aerosmith, it could be run DMC, it could be Whitney Houston, it's like the styles are so different, but it's all into the guys of comedy. And you kind of have to adjust for each individual's perspective. And some people, they want to hear that kids in shit. They don't want to hear anything slow. They want to hear like rabbit fire, they have an idea in their head. Yeah. Am I a big idea of like what comedy is?
SPEAKER_03
02:15:02 - 02:15:22
And I don't see it like that I see it as I'm going like, I would, it's people that I've seen, like I watched Ari last night. And I died several deaths watching Ari, like, yo, this shit is fucking austere.
SPEAKER_02
02:15:22 - 02:15:33
Well, he's doing that new Jew special, that special that he worked on for a long time. This is, it's tight. This shit is very good. It's very good. It's very good. It's very well written, too.
SPEAKER_03
02:15:34 - 02:20:43
I'm someone even the small nuggets that he said. Let me tell you the funniest shit. Like I had to stop watching because it was so fucking funny. I couldn't laugh. I couldn't laugh another second. And I still win in the back and laugh more from behind watching them from behind and say without the audience is listening to it. He said if it was the time, because it's so related, it was the time that you didn't think that you could talk to girls. And he says, I'm sitting in this fucking hysterical. So the thing about holding girls in, and he goes, he said, if I could talk to my 14 yourself, I would go back in the future and look, I don't have much time. I got to tell you, and then he's talking, and then he said, your 14 yourself, looking at your new stuff, he says, He looked at his, like, yo, look, some shit fails. Like, oh, this hair, he's going like, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, It's a great set. And my role manager, Dre, Dre is always with me. And Dre has probably learned so much about comedy. Just being in the room and seeing the different dynamics at last night. We were using the wrong and he was like he never knew That white comics talk so much shit just like black comics like he was like y'all all the fucking same like all the y'all talk shit like he talks shit that that That lady y'all talk so much about the lady bombing he was like he's like yo This is the same shit y'all with me's in my yo, man. He's fucking sucks like Like, yo, that lady with a God. So it's comic that hate me to this day that I told them that they shit was trash. Like, very early on like yo man, you need to work on it shit. That shit's garbage. And now I don't do that. Like I won't tell you anything. If you think that you're good like that lady, the disservice by this sensitive culture that you don't get what you actually need to be a beast in this game, like your fucking skin has to be toughened up. And this is what I say about the new generation of the social media comedian. When you start it, You weren't going to what they could just go to politics, how it has politics. So Trump only did interviews on Fox. Kelly and Conway. She only does interviews on Fox. And I know this because I listen to Fox. And I'm listening because I want to hear these interviews of people who never come on. other media outlets to answer any type of fucking quiz and they call them softball questions. They give them fucking softballs. So as a comic, if you always get softball, like you bring in your audience to the club, like these are people that I can love you and they come in just for you. But you don't have a lineage of how you started. Like, you don't have a, I used to be in the comedy store. I used to be in the cello. I used to be in just joking. I used to be at the improv. And I'm fucking getting this shit together. And one time joke came in like, yo, the joke is hilarious, but you need this. You don't have this fucking lineage of shit that helps you develop. So you just getting all softballs. And then when you go into an audience, now you want to come up with a call with these conglomerate shows with all different types of comics on this show. And you don't have a lineage and you have to follow somebody. You have to go up behind somebody. And you see the difference like Oh, you never had to go up after a monster and still get your shit off. You never had to do these things. So it handicaps you in this business. Because yo, I'm on this show. You're your popular and he's popular, but you got to go up behind Rogan. And Rogan has taken the room on a fucking journey. And now you coming up with the Hey! He's been rehearsing, they're like, the fuck outta here, like, what are you doing? They're in some miles, comes behind you, and...
SPEAKER_02
02:20:43 - 02:21:52
destroy the role again and you like oh it was the crowd like nah it was you it's the skill set yeah it's the fucking skill set managing the moment too yeah some things that you can do maybe after you got them maybe if you you get them going for 20 minutes then you could do a slow pitch shit you can do something where they trust you and then you could you could take them to a different place but if you're going on after Joey Diaz Joey Diaz is murdering That's one of the reasons why I started taking Joey on the road with me, because I bombed after him once. I took him on the road with me new Jersey, and he destroyed, and I did not. I had a rough set. It wasn't bad. It wasn't like the worst bombing, but it definitely wasn't good. It was like, there was Joey, he was way stronger than me, and then there was me. I was like, damn, I gotta bring this dude with me everywhere. I need that heat. Yeah. It helped him. It helped me. It helped me because he would crush so hard that you had to be able to ride that wave. You couldn't be nervous about it. That's like half of it is enjoying the person who's on before you. Laughing. So you go on stage. You're already laughing. You're having fun.
SPEAKER_03
02:21:52 - 02:27:51
Yeah. Do you know Jeff's soul? No. He used to be a booker for the Houston improvs. Like that is an addison in all of, I used to think he hated me. because he would always talk to me about how great other comics were. He would never fucking say anything to me about me. And people would, it taught me that your perception of yourself is definitely important because Jeff, I would run into other people and Jeff would be like, they would tell me like Jeff's soul fucking loves you. I'm like, what? He never says anything good about me. Like to who? Like, he fucking raves about you. Like you're like there. Like you're like the one for him. But he would always tell me about how great other comics were. So Bill Burr wants somebody to open for him. He's getting ready to do his special. And he asked Jeff's always like, yo, I need somebody because I'm doing the on Paramount in Austin. I need somebody who's going to come in that room and fucking destroyed his room. And did I want to come out on a high? Who do you think? So I get a call to open for Bill Burr. And I'm like, okay, go. Bill Burr is like he comes in my green room is like yo I Know you're gonna be fucking great Jeff said if you want a killer in front of you. This is one I'm like what may you Jeff fucking say is that you like the man So whatever the pair my holds it sold out, I walk out there and it's literally two black people in the whole entire place. It's me and an usher. And I had on all black and I never forgive when I walked out and said, hey, let me tell y'all something flying in the story. This is the worst fucking place to wear all black and I won't y'all know I do not work here I Don't know if like a restaurant was all I don't know anything cuz people will stop for me like you know the restaurant And I was like, 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 He just couldn't give it to me because he felt like, I've been in this room since 2011. He used to be spell binders before it was the improv. They had a fucking rain force. And I just go there and he just never paid fucking attention to me. And when he told me, he got sick. And he's like, I always thought you were fucking great. Like always. Like what I can tell you. I didn't want you to fucking stop trying to get it. Like, if somebody tells you that you grade up front and you never, you'd never strive to be better than that, like, even with myself, like, I do, I don't want to do a special. And I want the next one to be better than the last one. I don't, I don't see it any other way. Why would you, why would you start declining or why would you go to, because you, It's different facets of your growth in stand-up. Yeah. And I think you can always be original in this business if you being honest about who you are and the growth. You're not supposed to be doing the same thing. I've been knowing it what almost 24 years. I'm not supposed to be the same. as I was in the first 10 years. Of course not. Because the first 10 years, I used to just joke about the story, actually, about getting body slammed in the fight. I wasn't ready to do like we fighting and we get close and he fucking picks me up and body slammed me. And I'm like, yo, after you get body slammed in the fight, you fucking lost. I don't give them what happened after that. You fucking lost. It's like your shoe coming off in the fight. You fucking lost. And I would do this flip. I would land on my back and I'd be on the ground. And I know the older I get, I'm not going to continue to be able to do this shit. Right. This is not a long standing joke. The fuck this story because I have to do the flip in order to sell it. Now I'm not so I supposed to develop into something a little better than what I was in the beginning the first 10 the first 15 and if you don't have a lineage How do you do that like how do you Learn to get better? How do you have a desire is I'm like see biscuit I see you running and I want to run faster to catch you. But if I don't have that desire in me, I'm cool with being number seven and thinking and having this illusion that I'm great. But I'm only playing in front of the softball audience.
SPEAKER_02
02:27:51 - 02:28:09
Right. Yeah, you gotta have a lot of people around you that are good too. Yeah. It's very important. It's very rare that you go to a town and there's no one good except one guy. It's very rare. Very rare. There's like one standout world class comedian that's just in a town by himself existing in a vacuum.
SPEAKER_03
02:28:11 - 02:29:36
The never it's it's a lot of great comments out of Houston like I've been around a lot of great like if you say what's your influence is I start with Houston guys. I don't streams huge and I know DC has the mecca and New York feel like they have something in LA feel like then and I would argue the point about Texas comics. I would argue, like, man, we stronger than you think. And we played, we made West, Midwest comics. I think talk from a different perspective because they don't have this grandiose idea that they, I'm LA and I'm New York. I'm Atlanta. Like, nah, we're the Midwest and we got a lot of shit to talk about. And I just think it's not a better thing. It's a with more accepted and I think the audiences in the Midwest are regular people and you want to do stand that we don't stand up. You talking to regular people that's not got this I remember performing that like and it felt like the audience was waiting on somebody else. Like the whole, I never, I didn't even go with that. I was just like waiting something like they hold in last like I'm not going to give it all to you. I mean, if God's hysterical, give it up to him.
SPEAKER_02
02:29:36 - 02:30:35
L.A. 's a pretentious place. And a lot of the people that are in that audience either want to be in the business, which they were actors, which they were famous, or they're peripheral to it. They're agents or managers. They're jaded and weird. And they're all social climbers. So it's like there's a weirdness to it. Like when someone famous goes on stage like Oh, yes. Someone who is of the caliber of fame that I, but there could be someone before them that's funnier and they don't even care. They don't care. They don't, they're not just trying to have fun. There's a pretentiousness to it that's more New York. It's got a hardness to it that I kind of like. LA's got a pretentiousness to it. But when you're in a place like Houston, There's all the pretentious. This is out the window. It's just, are you good? Are you good? But that's like, Willie Dean, I talked about that with the hip-hop scene in Houston. It's the same thing when the ghetto boys were exploding. When the ghetto boys were hot, like there was a whole different style of rap coming out of this one section of the country and you had to respect it.
SPEAKER_03
02:30:35 - 02:32:50
Brad Jordan, Scarface, which comes from changed the cadence of people, and Willie D in the Bushwick bill, but that you have this whole entourage of other rappers that came behind Zero and Slim Thug and Lil Keaky and Big Poke and UGK, and that's phenomenal that I will first versus is about to be bunby with UGK versus a ball mjg. That's the first South versus everything else has been LA in New York. And this is a R&B. This is a South thing. And I know they gonna turn up because bun is like a he's becoming like the mayor of the city. You have all these like beat King and and making the style you look at Travis Scott, like these are people that's from Houston that this whole retobi is this whole revolution of rappers that spawned from the initial style of the ghetto boys. All that rap a lot records. Yeah, rap man, Jay Prince, and then you had people that came down like Tony Draper with Swav House, you had all these other guys that stuck the South Rose, I remember being, I remember the source magazine. If he could pull out of the source magazine, what it had, all of the Houston rappers on the source. And I remember walking through York. I bought it in New York. I'm like, yeah, you see fucking the south is on the fucking cover the source magazine. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Fucking, my man right there on Mike Jones and Scarface on the end. I was in Mike Jones video back then. You did want me. Now I'm hot. You're all on me. I was like, that was a big, and then she said, don't mess with Texas. Why Houston region won't be, man, this shit was like phenomenal.
SPEAKER_02
02:32:50 - 02:32:54
You need that with rap and you need that with comedy. You need a scene.
SPEAKER_03
02:32:54 - 02:35:13
And if we, if Houston did that with comics, It would be, oh, yeah, that's the, and that's the, that's the overall, look at the overall picture with little, little, little and chingo, but you know, chingo, bling, do comedy now. Chingo, bling, yeah, chingo, bling is a comedy. Man, that's the, the ESG big, how polka man. It's a team like DM, like he's a song by this guy named DMD. Oh, man, look at man. It's a great photo, too. It's the fucking squad. That's on Jay Prince's ranch. Really? Yeah, man. It's like the, look at that shit, man. That's Texas. And I was proud. Man, look at look, Kiki. Look at all. All right, buddy, Kiyani, poke it. How, man, this shit was phenomenal. Man, I remember getting chills when I saw this shit. I was like, yo, man, Texas is on the fucking map. And when you talk about comedy, it's like, if we did that with comedy, with Bill Hicks and Sam Kensington, Thea Vidal, Brumman, Billy D. Washington, um, Rusha McDonald, um, fucking David Ray Bond, myself, Marcus Diwali, Terry Gross, Kira Space, Dad's White, um, Dave Larson. It's so many comics that's been influential. And then we still, we still have Shane Wayne. We have the, we, we have the, the white, man. We fucking, um, by a bigger staff. It's like some phenomenal comics, man. We like, yo, man, I aren't be seen. Man, you, you watched the winning game? No. It's with, um, it's about the rise of the Lakers with Dr. Jerry Bus. I read the credits, too. And it's an R&B artist. Jazz artist by the name of Robert Glasper. And I'm reading the credits. And I pause it when I saw musical director, Robert Glasper. And it's just fucking a little bit like fucking Houston. It's all over the place.
SPEAKER_02
02:35:13 - 02:35:15
You see yourself living anywhere else ever?
SPEAKER_03
02:35:16 - 02:35:22
just Houston. It's just, it's in the blood, like, it's aged, it's aged town.
SPEAKER_02
02:35:22 - 02:35:26
So when you decided to film your special, you wanted to do it in Houston.
SPEAKER_03
02:35:26 - 02:38:16
I wanted to do it here. I actually, I actually, I did an intimate But I'm still searching for the love from my city, because I think that I represent so well. And I think that the things that people who are who spawned off of me represent well, Kevin A. So embracing Brown, and all these Kevin A. So has the show on Showtime, flat Bush, Mr. Meena. He's a writer, you know, and he wrote it in the second season as fucking great show. And I, I think that my representation of what spawns off of me and what I've done when I go out on the show. Like, I never try to misrepresent my city when I'm performing on TV or anything. Because I want them to be proud. But like, yo, that's, that's, it's proud as I am. When I see somebody from Houston, I want them to be that like when I found out they have a doubt, was from Houston. She's been all these great movies. I was like, I don't see from Houston. Like, well, I lost my shit when I found out that a book of tea was from Houston. Like a fucking rascal. I was like, oh, anybody from my city that's doing something, whether it's political, whether it's art, whether it's educational, whatever you're doing. I'm like, yo, that's fucking Houston. Right. And I just see, I just see, I wanted to do it in the Toyota Center. I'm wondering people that I want, I don't want, they should pay all in. Kevin Hart and all these other people are coming to my city and played a Toyota Center or Gary Owens and Michael Blackson come to the improv and sell out 14 15 shows and shit like that and then I don't do the same thing like that shit is a driving force like How you get so much love. What did you do? And I'm not an actor. I'm not, I don't look at sitcoms and movies and desire that shit. I'm a stand up. But I want to do it from the stand up position because a lot of these other greats were doing it from the stand. Calling was in car wash. with fucking one of the greatest kinds of all time, which is Franklin Agia, he was the fly in the call watch. And I don't think that the movie was what compelled him, what people wanted. I think it was his words. It was his name because those are some of the else's words. I want to do it. Yeah, well with mine.
SPEAKER_02
02:38:16 - 02:38:19
Look at that man. Look at George Carl.
SPEAKER_03
02:38:19 - 02:38:26
Yeah, I like I fuck it. Like this is one of my moves. Like I like I know the whole soundtrack. I love every song and I know every scene.
SPEAKER_02
02:38:26 - 02:38:31
76. Yeah. Wow.
SPEAKER_03
02:38:31 - 02:38:56
Like I would love to be in a movie like taxi. with a bunch of other comics and I think for you it's just a matter of a special like this and maybe you know more specials like this people you're undeniable people see it they'll get it like this year I want to I want to be the first comic to ever win a Emmy for a comedy special that's not on the network because I'm like security did that he wanted me yeah Lucy can one of them me
SPEAKER_02
02:38:57 - 02:39:12
or Grammy. He won the Grammy. That's right. When you won the Grammy, I'm hoping that you even win a Emmy if you're not on a network. Is it a television show award? Is YouTube TV? Is it the people in YouTube with Emmys?
SPEAKER_03
02:39:12 - 02:39:38
I hopefully hopefully it can have I think that I want to try to push the envelope to when people say hey man, what they feel bad doing like your listen. I know that it was on net. I know the other guys, it was on netflix, HBO or something else. It's gonna be a problem if we if we say this is the best special of 2000-22 when we give it to somebody. Fuck those awards. Amen.
SPEAKER_02
02:39:38 - 02:39:48
But it's my little give you your own award. Yeah. You're just by seeing you know. Who was the deciding vote on the Grammys or the Emmys? Get the fuck out of here. Who are those people?
SPEAKER_01
02:39:48 - 02:39:49
Who are they?
SPEAKER_03
02:39:49 - 02:42:24
Fuck off. But the thing is a cheese from shit without them having to, like, I remember D.L. told me when I was going to bring the funny, and I was talking to him, he was like, you think you're going in? I was like, all right, God, hopefully. But I went in, I went in at my agent Joe. Joe told anybody. Because he talked me into doing it. I said, go, we'll do it. I tried to lose every fucking round. Because I was on tour. I was like, I was just, do the tour dates. I don't need this shit. And he's like, gonna do it. So every round I was like, I kept my shit packed. Like I was like, we're gonna go do the round. I'm shutting in these stories down in the two minutes and 30 seconds to get this shit out. And I'm just, whatever job I'm doing cool. And I keep advancing. And I will call Joe, I'm like, I made it to the next round. He's like, Okay, good. And then I was like, fuck. So that I would make it to the next round. And deal by the by the third round. Now I got the taste of blood in my mouth. Like, I want to win this shit now. And deals like, I don't want you to win. I said, what? I want to win. I want you to be the person that people want it to win and didn't. What? He said, more people are going to see you. More people don't come to the show to see you. Because they wanted you to win and you didn't. And they wanted to come tell you. And sometimes I doubt my mentors. like I doubt the experience, I don't know fucking why and I'm like, so did I lose. And anybody who watched the show with see my face, like I don't have a, I don't have a poker face at all. Whatever is on my mind is on it. So they, they paned the audience. I never get the camera man, they're just like this. So they, they announced the winner and everybody's cheering shit, but this is my face. Like your face is right now. They was panning like this. They mean got right to me and with the camera up. And it did everybody else, because my face is like, dude. Not climb for that shit. Like, I'm not gonna go up. And when I didn't win, I was like, okay, fuck it. And then people start coming to the show, telling me how they, you should have won. And I was like, fuck, ain't right again.
SPEAKER_02
02:42:26 - 02:43:05
So we decided to do this podcast again. We did one just a few months ago, but we decided to do it again because on the last one, we were just talking about stuff and HBO didn't like what you said and they pulled your special. You have opinions about things. You're supposed to be allowed to have opinions about things, but when you have opinions about what they want to deem protected class, and that's like, I mean, we were talking about gay people, and your opinion was about gay people adopting children.
SPEAKER_03
02:43:05 - 02:44:54
I'll say my thoughts. I didn't think about a thought. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying I'm wrong, I'm telling that thought. Now it's on the, what I think to either be all to correct it, more information, whatever the situation is, but that's not going to happen right off the top without having a conversation about it and knowing that error is plays a large part in how people think the era that you grew up in. And then your experiences, my experience with things were that people who was in a certain lifestyle that I know didn't want certain things. It wasn't a part of what they were doing. So that's my experience that those are my thoughts. Am I wrong? Not in thinking a thought. I'm not out doing the rallying for it. I'm just saying what my thought was in a conversation. I'm allowed to do that. I'm not saying that you can't have it. I'm just saying my thoughts on something. I didn't think that the Lakers should have got Westbrook. I didn't think that it was a good fit. Dude, dude, like a nation, come after me because I had a thought about, hey, I think that magic Johnson is the greatest basketball player of all times. I think Bill Russell is the greatest basketball mind of all time. If you like Jordan, you like Jordan, but I will have a discussion with you about the greatness of magic Johnson.
SPEAKER_02
02:44:55 - 02:45:11
But this was a discussion about whether or not gay people should be able to adopt children. And you felt like they don't, they're not making children. That was never a thing when you were young. The gay guys didn't want children. And then all of a sudden they do. And you felt like it didn't fit.
SPEAKER_03
02:45:12 - 02:45:16
I was my thoughts. I wasn't rallying.
SPEAKER_02
02:45:16 - 02:45:40
I didn't think it was hateful. It's a complex subject, right? Because what your point was is they're not making the children. And what other people's points would be, but yeah, wouldn't you just want the kids to be in a loving family? And if the gay family loves them and supports them and raises them, far better than being in foster care, far better than being abused.
SPEAKER_03
02:45:41 - 02:46:18
I think that that's the extreme that people put on like, I saw a dude who was giving this commentary on the talk without taking in the whole context of it. But then he was like, He's been in doctorate in this and he's, he's thought so. He's been in doctorate in this something. I'm like, no, I just, I'm just a human being and certain things in my era work. But they're saying you were indoctrinated? Yeah, to something like, wrong with gay people. Like, I never, I never thought they'd know it. Did I ever say that?
SPEAKER_02
02:46:18 - 02:46:24
Did you have a conversation with anybody about it? Like, did anybody talk to you and say, hey, we'd like to know why you think what you think?
SPEAKER_03
02:46:24 - 02:47:16
No, they threaten me with violence. They threatened me with like a lot of people threatened me with violence and I was sending my address to those people like yo you bring that shit on if you want to let me I'm gonna come knock yo fucking teeth down your throat and make you to how you think that's gonna make me change anything what and what am I gonna be doing why you knocking my teeth down my throat like what you gonna what am I gonna be doing this is you think there's a fucking movie that I'm just being just taking it like yo but this is there was my point Your first thing was to do was not to rationing, have a discussion. Your thing was to threaten me with violence. Well, that's one person. No, that was, that was, that was, that was because no, no person ever DM me and said, I would like to have a conversation with you about your thoughts.
SPEAKER_02
02:47:16 - 02:47:27
Did anybody from HBO, one ever conversation with you? Did you speak to anybody or did you, is it spoken to your agent and then spoken to my, and then I asked for a conversation.
SPEAKER_03
02:47:27 - 02:51:13
And when we had the conversation, I started the conversation of parties. Do you think that I am a honest man? I think it's not about your honesty. Yes, it is. Do you think that I am an honest man? Yeah. Now we can have the conversation because if you don't think that I'm honest man, there's no reason for me to go forth with this conversation. Sitting across for me, do you think I'm a home folk? Sitting across for me means you haven't dinner. No. Okay. Um, I happen to watch new rules. We'll build Mars last Friday. Some, I was tired, came from the show exhausted. Turn on HBO. Obviously, I have no problem. I watch a lot of HBO shows. I have no ill feelings about him. They decision or whatnot. No trip. Still going watch my same HBO shows. And then I hear Bill Mars talking out the new rules. And he goes in like really lays out some shit. And then Sam J show comes on right after that. And Sam J is a lesbian black lesbian woman, that's a comic. She has a show on HBO, which I'm, which I'm home. And she goes in about how the LGBT community does not represent her as a black lesbian woman. And she's talking to these these people and she's giving a whole candid understanding about how the shit does not relate to her. Same same thought patterns of of understanding like yo explain to me why it's rising and I'm sitting there looking like wow. Some people are free to say whatever they choose to say and some people are not and when you feel like you can hand the cap of person And she says only she said I think that it's a bunch of entitled fucking white people that's pulling the strings of what what in the lady that she says it to agrees and said I think there's a lot of people that lobby for power and they feel like they can take a stance on this that in the third without no conversation. If you manufacture in the consent of anything you man you feel like you man your factor in consent like everybody agrees but I'm I'm a part of everybody right around could I have a different thought your first thing was to less because he has a doubt And a person that may not know him, because the person who knows me, who wanted this special, understands to a certain degree, but it's not in a hand. It's another person that has this. And we talk about it. But this is the thing that I'm not rallying for anything. But I understand, I understand. I'm not, I just why I have no ill feelings about the decision. That's your decision to, to not put me on your network because of expected backlash. It did not come because people like, it's a thought.
SPEAKER_02
02:51:15 - 02:51:52
He's all this is expected backlash from you doing the podcast and saying what you said and then they were anticipating that there's gonna be some attack on you Yeah, basically, but it didn't really happen there's few DMs few DMs I got a few DMs and people like what what else is a goddamn heterosexual photo your black male Muslim gonna say what else he don't say what the fuck but it's also like what I would like to see is people have a conversation about it like it's a adopting children is a complex conversation. It's a complex conversation for everybody.
SPEAKER_03
02:51:52 - 02:57:13
And it's not just a skill of what you want. You also have to understand that you send, if my son or my daughter want to do something that I know As a heterosexual parent, I'm concerned about the shit that I do and that my kids have to explain. That may not be equipped to explain it. And you don't have a pamphlet of information that I can go to to explain anything. Then right at that, I did this joke which I think I still think is fucking funny because it happened and my four-year-old She, we in the elevator, a man comes on that with a face full of makeup. We got a full, what they call a beat face. And my daughter, like the head of why that man, kind of make up. I'm not thinking about this shit right now. My mind's on something else. I don't have time to explain this shit. I said, he had a band. That's all I said, he's a band, I don't know if I can band the end of the band, kids with this, I don't know if I can band the end of the band. So my four-year-old is still like, do you see a man with makeup on? She doesn't think anything, but he must be a band. But that's what I, I don't have time to go into this shit right now with her in this elevator. With this guy, I don't know what his situation is, but the quickest thing I can say right now, he's the fucking band and that, People laugh and then get mad when other people want to get mad with it. But it's almost like the wheelsmith thing. We all laughed. Jayden wasn't happy. Now he fucking slaps Chris. What the fuck just happened? We were just laughing. But I think that if you are able to laugh at somebody else's disposition, you should be able to laugh at yours. Because when I'm on stage, I'm saying a lot of shit. that people may not agree with. You may not agree with the parent and style of my parents, but you can't go back and change. That my mom did what she did. It made me who I am and you pick up things. But man, I never forget Mr. Reggie ran the day center. And Mr. Reggie was a black A guy. And he was fucking hysterical. And I asked him what time I say, Mr. Reggie, you won't kiss. He said, hey, I'm not. I don't even want y'all to be here. I was like, I'm like, damn, Mr. Reggie, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're You have a colonel man? Yeah, he, he, he splashed clones at the barbershop. And he gets the best shit. So, and Keith is on our barbershop, and we have no rules. We do not censor our conversation for Keith. And when Keith comes in, I'm going to keep got his, his fucking hair. He got some hair implants. and I'm talking about Keith has done so much it to yourself and when he comes in and I see him I'm going to say some wow shit to Keith. He knows he's getting it. And when he comes in, Keith don't give a shit about what I'm saying. He's like, yo, man, you want this color on the night? Like, he just got, did you fucking get your eyes done? Oh, you got it. Keith, you haven't fucking set him in context. Oh, he just found a fucking proud today, huh, Keith? He's like, he's like, he doesn't give a shit about what I, and he doesn't care what, I got to be a town barber shop. He doesn't give a shit. about anything that we say about him in the ball shop. And he's not the only gay person that comes to the ball shop. He's been coming there for years. And Keith is a fucking crazy man, but he's accustomed to that culture. And whatever is said, that's not bothering him because we're not violent towards him, right? Just talking shit. This is a barbershop talking shit. If you come in, if you straight and you come in with some weird shit on, so shit gonna be said about you. It just, it happened. So Keith coming, I ain't seen Keith in a while. It's the key. Well, you bet. I mean, I had a little sense of way. I had a little procedure in the hospital. And I mean, it's, oh, you get no stomach pump. Like, I mean, he said she. He's like, you're fucking asshole. Like, I'm just saying it. But I don't think that they understand how black people operate. even in the space. I think there's nobody gay in my family. My cousin, no, I don't fucking hate him. Give us shit about your sexuality.
SPEAKER_02
02:57:14 - 02:57:29
So they want you to not talk about things as loosely, I guess, and not and taking the consideration that you would hurt gay people's feelings that want to be parents.
SPEAKER_03
02:57:29 - 02:58:10
I would probably hurt anybody's feelings if I'm up there talking about things that I think that's contrary to you. If that's what your feelings are based, but my actions are contrary to like like I say on stage I'm not a handy man and my really not a handy man fuck no I have been not handy in the in the past But now I can figure out a fix anything and if I can't figure out what calls somebody that's just like I asked people It but it was all black people I say you're with I said on Rogan. Yeah, would you offend it? No
SPEAKER_02
02:58:12 - 02:58:24
I bought a fucking lease, but that's my- I think it's a subject that they don't want you talking about at all. Unless you are- like you can't have opinions unless it is- they're opinion. They're opinion.
SPEAKER_03
02:58:24 - 02:58:27
Yeah. The manufacturing consent.
SPEAKER_02
02:58:27 - 02:58:52
Well, and it comes- it's not just about that. Mario Lopez had to apologize because he was talking about children taking hormones to transition. And he said he just didn't think that it should happen that children should take hormones to become a different gender. And he almost lost his fucking job.
SPEAKER_03
02:58:52 - 02:58:55
And because he thought something.
SPEAKER_02
02:58:55 - 03:00:06
because he had an opinion about, and by the way, that's an opinion shared by a lot of medical doctors. That's opinion shared by a lot of psychologists. That's opinion shared by a lot of people that are very concerned. And he almost lost his job because you can't have an opinion that even look, I told you before in the first podcast, one of my old neighbors, they're gay, and they had a kid, and they adopted this kid and this kid was great, and they had a great family. It does work. I don't have the same opinion of you as far as that. But you're allowed to have different opinions about everything in my mind. Everything. That's what podcasts are all about. Conversations are all about. I want to know why you think the way you think. And if you have a perception and you have a way that you look at things and it's different than the way I look at things, I just want to see why you think that way. And you are pretty clear. You're like, they're not making children. like this is a different thing. Like you're adopting a child, but this is not the same kind of relationship as a man and woman who have a child and then raise a child and it's like it comes out of the woman's body and it's a different thing. It's a different thing.
SPEAKER_03
03:00:06 - 03:01:21
It's a different thing. But when people do research, they, it's what they call a hypothesis. It's then they, they try to figure out if what works if they have an educated guess and then they start working towards the test is is research so you think something and then you start to go through it pros cons some some things were like like with the vaccination some people got sick some people didn't the vaccination bad I don't know some people got sick some people didn't I don't think the vaccination is good. Cool. Tell me who got sick. Some people didn't, you don't think you should take it. Cool. What's the, what? All these fucking non-vaxxers. What? Like, okay, when you ask them, people would get vaccinated. Five years ago, 10 years ago, from other shit, but not this new shit that people don't have the enough information on just yet. So therefore, I don't want them fucking do it right now.
SPEAKER_02
03:01:21 - 03:01:29
Right. But it is another one of those things where you have to have the same opinion as everybody else, or they get furious at you. Get extra.
SPEAKER_03
03:01:29 - 03:01:34
But what does your theory do but cause more rage?
SPEAKER_02
03:01:35 - 03:02:32
I don't think they're thinking about that way. I think they just, like, in this situation like the subject that we're talking about, gay people adopting children, I think people just want compliance. They want you to comply with whatever the narrative that they're trying to establish is the same thing when Mario Lopez was talking about children taking hormones. It's like, there's a narrative. They don't want you to have an opinion outside that narrative. And if you do, they want to fire you from things. And the situation with you and HBO is, look, I told you this last night, I believe it now. I think it's good. Not necessarily good to have these people upset of you, but good that you put it on YouTube. Because the distribution is so much better. You'll get millions more views, millions more views. It'll be accessible. Anytime anybody wants it for free, anytime you just pull up your phone, bam. You're waiting for a plane, bam, watch it. Anytime you want, bam, watch it. It's always available.
SPEAKER_03
03:02:32 - 03:03:01
Always available. You'll get millions more views and so much better for you. And I think people will understand the thought process of a lot more thing. I'm I'm I'm I'm starting at a I made decisions. At 10 that I knew a bad decisions later on, but if somebody would have protected me from that decision, my sister tried well, this is like I don't think that's the way to go.
SPEAKER_02
03:03:01 - 03:03:04
And sometimes you got to learn for yourself.
SPEAKER_03
03:03:04 - 03:03:37
And so I think even with I'm a child and I'm walking through life as a child and I'm making a lot of bad decisions that I know. Now that will tear, I would never want my child to go through a man. Let me give you a lot more. I wish I just want to build a confidence up in children that they will. not succumb to these outside forces that's pulling you towards things that's contrary to your moral standards, don't they?
SPEAKER_02
03:03:37 - 03:04:20
It's hard, it's hard for people because they get to school and there's so many people that want you to believe a certain way. Like I've talked to kids that told me and these like 12-year-old kids that they were getting bullied at school because they weren't vaccinated and other kids were vaccinated. And I'm like, what 12-year-old understands the ramifications of getting vaccinated for something that they have zero fear of getting sick and hospitalized for? Unless you're obese, unless you're something wrong with you, unless you're immunocompromised, the hard science on COVID is young children that are healthy children are rarely hospitalized. Very, very, very, very, very, very far more vulnerable to the flu.
SPEAKER_03
03:04:20 - 03:04:44
And that's the flu or the COVID. Mine too. My kids had it and we tried to isolate them from my daughter who has allergies and She we wake up in the middle like she in the bed with our sister and our brother that go at COVID like we trying to keep you safe and she's like no need to be with my my family and she never she never called it and they had it
SPEAKER_02
03:04:47 - 03:05:36
My kids both got it and they were fine. They got over these one kid just got a headache. The other kid was felt like she had a little bit of a cold for a day. it's it was one of those things though where the height and fear and there was push they were pushing it so hard the difference between the way they felt what about it here versus the way they felt about it in LA LA they're still scared there's still wearing masks everywhere I mean it's it's so different out here known give a fuck yeah that's one of the reasons why my kids wanted to move here when we came we came out here in May of 2020 and my kids were like mommy I want to move here come on daddy let's live here I'm like I'll fucking move here. And I told my wife, I will fucking move here. I do not like where L.A. is going. That fear is hard to shake off. That shit sticks like tar. It's a stuck to people out there.
SPEAKER_03
03:05:36 - 03:06:03
And they and L.A. New York people all up on top of each other. Texas people a little more spray it out. And he's like, yo, man, I don't even see that many people get the fuck out of you. I'm not just. And I think that with people are so quick to give somebody a phobia, or diagnose somebody because I like things in order. Oh, you old CD. I just like things out.
SPEAKER_02
03:06:03 - 03:06:10
Maybe maybe it's like balance. Yeah, you have ADHD because you can't pay attention to boring shit.
SPEAKER_03
03:06:10 - 03:07:20
That's what it is man. I don't want to watch somewhere there. You know how many kids are getting medicated because they're born in school a lot I never get my daughter like I remember homeschool had a phobia of like people your kids not gonna be socialized right your kids gonna be this good homeschool is way better. I remember my daughter My oldest daughter, Jayden, she's a chef at James Harden, restaurant 13. She was in school and the teachers said that she was being disruptive in class. And I went and I just looked to see what she was doing. She was in kindergarten and she had already been. My daughter was reading it three. So now you and that doing colors and numbers and she's in the back doing she liked it. They like what colors is blue is she in the back? B. L. U. E. Blue. Fuck me doing that.
SPEAKER_01
03:07:20 - 03:07:23
She's born. She's advanced.
SPEAKER_03
03:07:23 - 03:08:00
It's like her and this other guy. I know his mom, they moved them to this school long fellow that had a gifted and talented program. They both went and gifted and talented all through elementary, all through middle school, all through high school. Never was bored in class kid because they were being stimulated. And you got a lot of shit to do so I think that that's a part of it as well. This kid don't have ADHD. This kid is bored. It's got their bullshit as curriculum that you have. They're like, you teaching me guy there.
SPEAKER_02
03:08:00 - 03:08:02
And I still interested teachers too.
SPEAKER_03
03:08:02 - 03:09:06
Oh, man. Not interested teachers, man. And she just bothers me. And I say it's not no teachers to get upset. Every time I say this, I get backlash, but when people get upset about things, you have to think about it. I've seen teachers walk out for more pay, maybe twice. We walk, he's just on strike for more pay, maybe more times than I'm just going on time. This currently can think of. But they never walk out for a better curriculum for a children. Like they say the school system is not this, not that. And it is not challenging, but you never walk out for a better curriculum. They can't get together on the same thing. We want to teach these kids and really teach these kids to the United States kids to be in the upper echelon of intelligent children and intelligent people in the world. I wonder what we rank at right now in education. What does the United States rank? It's pretty low in education.
SPEAKER_02
03:09:07 - 03:09:20
It's pretty low. Let's guess 36. I'll say 30. I bet we're low in that.
SPEAKER_03
03:09:20 - 03:10:16
So why not adopt, why be so arrogant, not to adopt somebody else's? Who's number one? Let's adopt that curriculum and put that curriculum and put that attitude in. Your kids go to school and eat what type of fucking food. Do they have a five or five star chef back there giving nutritious food to the children? One of the things about my son when he went to school, he complained about the bathroom being filthy and not having enough time to eat. and he was done with the shit like he like he went to school for three months and then that was it he's never been bad he was done with the shit like it's a kid that knows the quality of education is like yo I can't even borrow what I'm doing math I don't what the fuck is this like you taught me how to borrow and I'm a math fucking magician I used to I was a street farmer's group I know man I know both fucking systems like it's like what's the number
SPEAKER_00
03:10:19 - 03:10:32
Honestly, we'll ranking when you type it in it says number one. So the first three articles I find, say we're number one. And then I start seeing articles and say US shows they're falling behind the world. And I'm like, all right, well, who is deciding?
SPEAKER_03
03:10:32 - 03:10:34
Oh, so now New Zealand is not number one. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00
03:10:34 - 03:11:14
So like the one that says we're number one comes from the US News and World Report, BAV group in the Wharton schools. What was that? This is 2022 or 2020. And I got one that says they took comparing test scores. rankings falling behind the rest of the world to 22 that give some test of 15 year olds in a according to that test where 11th out of 79 countries in science or much worse in ranking ranking 30th. But like I said, when you type in here, like United States, number one, education rankings by country. I don't know who's making, who's putting this together.
SPEAKER_02
03:11:14 - 03:11:33
Probably the education group of the United States of America. I got to wrap this up. It's already four o'clock. Ollie, tell everybody how to get a hold to you.
