Transcript for #787 - Eddie Huang

Yeah! Yes! That's it! We live. We live. That's live. What's up, baby? How are you doing? Are you doing good? Good to see you, brother. That is a very colorful. You've got a lot going on with that shirt.

I found. Oh, it's like it's a shirt that has pictures of rain gear hanging up on hooks.

Yeah, it's like a like a nautical shed. Yeah, where you put your nautical gear ice fishing I think.

Oh, this is too wrong. Would you do to get your probation officer?

Yeah, spinner baits all that jazz crankbaits. Yeah, little repala little minos.

Did you ever get like one of those boats? Those little bass boats with the flat bottoms, and you can move around the little trolling motor?

How did you install it on a canoe because a canoe is a pointy end as opposed to a flat end?

But because a canoe has two points as a point in the front and a point in the back. Yeah. How the hell do you get a motor back there?

Was it a a trolling motor like a real quiet one or was it a big heavy like it was the quiet little one you can put on the front right little little thing.

Yeah. Yeah. The idea of those is you want to like I'm most kind of go against the like if the tide is pulling you one way or the you know or move along the bank.

on this lake on the Butler chain and like around sundown just fish with you to be right there if you get to the drop off you can hit him I love fishing so it's something primal about it there's something primal about like when you catch something you see it like when you're like I want to go on yeah and as it's coming up you see it in the water like all there it is yeah my goodness it's it I think it goes back to like ancient DNA or something

If you really feel bad, don't catch and release. Because when you catch and release, a lot of them die. That's the dirty secret about catch and release fishing. Yeah, it's kind of creepy because I went salmon fishing. And this is really kind of brought home to me when I went salmon fishing. Me and the Irish are fear. A couple of years ago, I went up to Alaska. And when we were like right more getting up there, they had turned into catch them at least because they have like a salmon weird, you know what a weird is? It's like they have these sort of pathways that the salmon have to go through and they set them up so they can accurately count how many salmon go through at any given time so they can estimate how strong the schools are that are coming upstream and downstream so they can estimate pretty pretty accurately how many salmon are in the river what the populations are how healthy they are so the salmon we're there goes right there you can see it Um, they got like right before we were going up there. They got poor numbers. And it was kind of ironic because the day we got there, the numbers were off the fuck in charts. We got there at like one of the best days for salmon fishing ever. But we had to let them all go. It was real weird. Um, but we were catching a fish.

They didn't even keep one. No, no, we couldn't keep any of them. Um, we caught a rainbow trout. I got to keep that. It was pretty rare. You don't really get to any rainbows up there, but the salmon were giant. But we were catching them all day and releasing them. But you release them, you're like, oh, that's one of the four grand go to the market. You know, you see some oil.

Well, some fish just don't taste that good either. That's the thing about large mouth bath.

Like a cinnamon. Sammons are delicious fish. Yeah, but a large mouth bass is like, yeah, I guess I get eat this.

You except for trout there trout tastes really good.

No, most trout or fresh water, but there are some brackish water like steelheads, I think. Yeah. Go into the ocean. Yeah. You know, is that correct? I think steelheads make it into the ocean. Or they at least close. They definitely get into brackish water, salmon of course, go back and forth. You still fish out here. Yeah, man. I love fishing. Um, different places. Um, uh, there's a, uh, for fresh water, there's Lake Castac, which is nice. They have a lot of actual, uh, they have a stripe bass, which are great. It's all fresh water. It's, it's kind of an artificial lake. Um, but right now they're hurting because this drought that we've had up here for the last few years, the, like it used to, we used to film fear factor up there. And, uh, especially, there's a plate called, uh, to hone ranch. This is the most shocking. There's this place called To Home Ranch that had this beautiful lake for large round bass. And we used to drop people on fear factor at a helicopter's in this lake. Now the lake is completely dry. There's nothing in the lake. It's dead. Totally dry. Completely flat. You could see the bottom of it and it was a mass fish die off. And they said there was some beautiful huge 10 plus pound bass that just died in that lake of no air, no water, no nothing. That's crazy.

There's not well now you can't because all the birds picked them off and it's all gone because it's been like that for over a year. But it just completely dried up.

Yeah. Yeah, well for a little while. Yeah. Birds get that right man. They must get diarrhea. They're probably eating anything though. Birds can.

Like, and what was it?

So what, what, like, how so? Like how, like when you say that New York is more haters, like when you're doing, when you become successful in New York, what you felt like, like, it's just a much more criticism, much more, much more scrutiny.

I like it when it's valid and it's coming from people that aren't retarded. agreed. That's a problem.

Well, here's the thing. Have you ever left a YouTube comment? Yeah.

But if you ever left a YouTube comment on something other than your own videos. Yeah. Really? Yeah. You're rare. Yeah. Most people, they watch YouTube videos and they enjoy it or they don't enjoy it. That's it. They walk away, they move on with their life. You're a rare dude in that case.

And this is all the vice stuff on the vice stuff on the wrongs world.

Well, except when they have their accounts blocked, it seems to me that like if you look at 90% of the cuts on Instagram when you go to their accounts that blocked. Yeah.

Instagram is the land of the cowards because you can't do that shit. Like you can't comment on someone else's stuff in most forms unless they can go to your stuff and look at you. But in Instagram they allow you that option. And I think that should take away.

Well, here's my feeling. If you, if you, if you're going to be private, you shouldn't be allowed to comment. Like if you're going to be private on, on Instagram, you shouldn't be allowed to just go on on the people's pages and shit all over them. Yeah, because I've, I've read something, but just mean nasty fucking shit that people write on these girls pages about what the girls look like. I'm like, oh, what does this motherfucker look like? Yeah. And I go, because I'll get see of your faces is this like one eighth of a centimeter face. And so then I go into their page and it's blocked.

That's what I'm saying.

Grandma had a nice dumpling over there, especially if the worried that the grandma might actually look at the picture with a granddaughter.

Yeah, see Facebook is the most transparent. You go right to someone's page and you see exactly who they are and that's a different animal, you know. The Instagram is weird in that way. Some people don't even have a photo. You go to their Instagram pages, no photo. It's all blocked up, but then they just use it to comment on people's pages and shit on them.

Sometimes it's not entertaining to me because I feel like there's so much spinning your wheels. I feel like these these people that are like super mega-negative on and these things like this you're not getting it. No one's getting anywhere with this.

They got some fucking jokes on all negative. Yeah, definitely not all negative. Yeah, but as far as like comments, I would say like I want to get to a good joke.

I would say Instagram comments are probably the best out of all and well Twitter's pretty goddamn good too. I mean, I'm real fortunate in that. I would say that more than 99% of all the interactions I have with people online through social media are positive. More than 99%. It's probably like 99.9. It's really good.

People love you too. Yeah. Come on. Dude, I put your, you up on Instagram today and people won't crazy. They're super happy to have you back. Thank you. Thank you.

This is the found out your fishermen shirt was rocking it too. Nice.

Well, you're coughing just thinking about it.

That's all good.

Well, that ain't gonna make it. Most almond milk that you buy from stores unless you look real careful like if you buy like vanilla almond milk, it's bullshit. You might as well be just drinking a chocolate shake. Oh, yeah, they're they're low like a dunk and call me up dude.

I go. It's delicious, huh? How many grams of sugars in it? Oh, I don't know hold on. 19 I go yeah, do you drink it sugar water drinking a glass of fucking by the way, that's a eight ounce glass.

Well, what are you trying to do? You're just trying to be healthier. You're trying to lose weight. I would like to go down a cup size.

I want to shout out. I want to shout out.

Yeah, I want this be terrible next week. If they're in New York, they have money, right? It's a giant ass team.

I'm not really happy. Not really hip, too. All right. We'll move on. New talk. So you're just trying to be healthier. Is what I'm trying to do. Yeah. And you're trying to make a hoop dreams, Joe.

Monocido Heights. Where's that?

I guarantee it's because you're busy. 34 is not old enough where your body starts to tear. Oh, good. Yeah. Do you live weights?

That can fuck with your basketball game. Bad, in a bad way. Yeah, I used to fuck with my pool game. It was a big problem that I like to lift weights, but I also like to play pool. And when you lift a lot of weights, you get sore. And when you're sore and stiff, it fucks with your fine motor skills. Yeah. It would really fuck with my pool game. Yeah, no, my jumper is trash right now. Yeah, I think a lot of that has to do with lifting weights. It could. For a lot of people when you're sore, like all the, you know, like, I guess I don't play basketball. I don't care about it. But I would imagine that it's similar to pool in that you got to know exactly how much effort to put on that ball. Exactly. You know, I know like when a crumple up a paper and I throw it in a trash can, it's a weird thing, right? Because you kind of estimating the drop, you know, the arc of that little thing. You have to have this fine sense.

It does, I mean, there's a, there's a, like sort of a point of diminishing returns when it comes to lifting weights and then doing fine motor skill activities. Yeah. You used to fuck with me drawing, too. If I lived a lot of weights, my hands would get tired from like gripping and squeezing things. And then when I would draw like my fine motor skills, if my hands would be off. It's true.

Please show me. I want to put that shot online. Yeah.

I'm in. I'm in.

You're gonna after the show you got to give me that photo and I'm gonna put it on Instagram. That is goddamn hilarious.

Oh my god. Yeah. I've never happened to her, man.

Yeah. That peaked bro. The 80s movie world is a weird world.

I know, right? You would think that would be the one. Yeah. I think people forgot about her. People forgot about my forgotten about hope. You should sell those. You should sell those. We've got a lot of holes.

Yeah, make it top. Only wear the jump on show. like it. So, so you're doing that three times a week, you're playing basketball. That's dedication. Yeah. I would think that that alone, all that activity, that would be a great way to lose weight.

It's food. But you make delicious shit. How hard is it when you make delicious shit to eat non-delicious shit? That's a problem because it's almost like imagine for a guy like me as a comic. What if I was a comic but the only way to be healthy was to listen to shitty jokes? It's kind of like what's going on because you describe yourself as sandwich artist, but ultimately what you are is an illist subway employee of all time. Well, there's a lot of Jared jokes in there, but I'm going to keep moving. But you're making delicious art, you know, and then you're eating styrofoam.

Oh, people can't go. Where's the beach? So... If you just cut out carbs, you can still eat delicious shit. That's the beautiful thing about trying to get into a ketogenic diet. There's like delicious steaks. You can eat sweet potatoes. You can eat sweet potatoes.

Yeah, fiber. But just don't eat too much. The whole idea is to take in as little sugars possible and have your body start operating off of fats.

Discipline. That's what I do. Fuck. This stuff is, uh, this stuff is called non-genics. Yeah. This is, uh, these are ex, ex, exogenous ketones. These are all minerals and amino acids. And I add these to water. And what they do is they put your body in a state of ketosis pretty rapidly.

Um, that's what this does. Yes. Well, what that does is keep those are exogenous ketones and ketones is what your body burns off and it's not burning off carbohydrates. There's a couple of benefits to it. I'm not a scientist and I'm not that smart. So I'm going to butcher this. But essentially, one of the biggest benefits is that when your body's eating carbs all the time, your body feeds off carbs, for me at least, what I would do is I'd have these big peaks and then these crashes. Like I would eat and then after I ate, I was like a bear that got shot with a tranquilizer driver. It feels bears the collar and they'll be me. I just it would crash hard man hard and then also after I ate about five hours later I'd be fucking starving where my body had processed all the food and then I'd hit this place like fuck I got to eat I don't get there anymore. I don't get to there to that I got to eat thing. Like I can go 10, 12, 14 hours without eating, and I'm fine. I might be a little hungry, but I feel good. Like I've worked out after 16 hours of not eating and be fine. Like what I'll do is I'll go to bed early at night, and I'll work out at noon with nothing eating, nothing in between that time, and work out at noon and be fine.

If you eat an orange, it tastes anything like this dog shit. Yeah, throw the fucking thing in the garbage immediately.

Yeah, you don't want to do that. But I do love this stuff. I put the stuff in in water and I mix it up and I drink it all the time. It's a little sloppy. This envelope's a little sloppy. I need to come up with a good sort of a like a funnel to get in there. But what I do is I just kind of shake it in slow. Yeah, you're smart man. You're doing a little one. What I do is I make a little hole and I just put that little hole over the water bottle. You probably should use an actual glass of water.

No, it's fine. It's good. I mean, it's just gonna be real strong, but I'm just saying if you had a glass and you can mix up it. Oh, solid. Like this Joe Rogan glass?

Plus I like the idea you drinking in my face.

Drinking a mug of my face. So how long have you been trying to do this? Be healthy in 34 years? It hasn't really worked. You just got to write down that you don't allow yourself to drink at night or allow yourself to eat shitty food at night. If you could just do that.

Yeah, New York City. Yeah, New York City has a lot of weird spots where you can just show up. Well, New York City has restaurants that are open 24 hours a day that are really good. Yeah, that's crazy. Incredible. LA has a few, but they're super ethnic. Like you can go to tie town and you can get some fucking nice childhood. I love how they sit. Come on, son. There's some fucking badass Thai food that's open up in LA. Yeah. If you take Um, Hollywood or sunset? Um, Hollywood. If you take Hollywood down and keep going east, there's uh, so that is not orange. It's what I'm saying. Right? Someone needs to go to jail for lying. Oh, call that orange.

Yeah. Well, um, take Hollywood, um, east of of Highland, keep going. And on the right hand side, maybe like four or five miles is like a whole Thai area. that you'll go through like these these these areas where it's maybe like 20 or 30 tie restaurants in a row down there and there's one place that's open I'll take you down there man if you want to go I'm just one place that's open late at night I used to go with my buddy Rob Rob came in World Kickboxing champion and he took me down that place after training one night it's fantastic and it's open to like two three o'clock in the morning what's the name I don't remember the name of place because it's like some funky name.

Tie coffee's hilarious because I mean, just want just shoot sugar into my veins with a needle. Yeah, you know like Thai ice tea and Thai ice coffee that stuff is it's insane.

Agave is supposed to be super bad for you. Oh, yeah. Well, everybody thinks that a gov is like, it's all natural man. It's a gov. A gov is really good. A gov is apparently converted into your body, just like sugar, which is like cane sugar.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Could be good.

Again, depends on the company you keep. Yeah, no. So this stuff, exhaust just ski tones. This is the way to go. It's a good little picking up in between meals too. I feel hot. Yeah. Hot like sexy. Yeah, real fucking funny.

The skinny look. Yeah, it's coming back. Bring it back.

No, you can start with like ones. Yeah. Yeah, the right way to do, this is an interesting podcast that I've been listening to with this guy, Pavel Tatsulin. He's, like, sort of the guy brought kettlebells to America. And he's on Tim Ferriss's podcast. I want to say number 55 or 155.

Yeah. Yeah. He's two podcasts in a row. And he talks about like the correct way to do cattle bells. And the correct way to strength train. And one of the things that he's saying is you should never do more than five repetitions. You should, like, say if you can lift something, if you have a hundred pounds, you can lift a hundred pounds nine times. You shouldn't do it nine times. You should do it five. Do it five and then put it down. Don't go to failure. And the idea is the body is not designed to go to failure. The idea that going to failure all the time, you think, we have this idea in our head, and I'm guilty of it more than anybody, is that more is better. You know, I'm going to fuck more guard than everybody else. And that's what's going to do it. Well, that's not really the right way to do it when it comes to the human body, because even though your mind can push your body to extreme limits, often times you get better results by not pushing your body to extreme limits, by pushing your body intelligently, allowing your body's sufficient time to recover, and then doing it again, and then doing it more often, but with less repetitions.

You've seen, uh, I'm sure you've seen this, uh, zero dreams of sushi. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. One of the things that I love about that is the simplicity of this guy's methods. I mean, that if you haven't seen that documentary, man, I was so skeptical. I'm like, I'm not watching a fucking documentary about a dude who makes sushi. Like how fucking hard is it to make sushi? Cut the fish, shut the fuck up. How hard is that? It's hard as fuck. It's hard as fuck. It's hard as fuck. But the, the methods of this guy, employees like you would think, Like, how hard is it to do? Well, it's not necessarily that it's hard, but there's a right way to do it. Where he's figured out, like, do you add this amount of this or that amount of this, do you, you know, let it sit for six hours, you let it sit for 12 hours, and he's nailed it and got it down to a science. But if you did anything more than what he's doing, it would actually be less. Yeah. You know, like a nice piece of seared eye for example. How hard is that? It's hard at all. You get a fresh piece of it. You see it. But God damn when it's done right, it tastes good.

They're big on seafoods, right? Sicily.

Well, I think that Minimalism in a lot of ways like even in music like sometimes you listen to an acoustic song just a dude in a guitar or woman in a guitar and it's the best song you've ever heard for that moment.

Tell me about your new vice show man. What do you got going on?

Well, what Tony did was he was the first guy that ever had a cooking show that I wanted to hang out with.

You know, when you're trying to create a television show, it takes a while for our show to find its legs, right? To figure out what it is. Yeah. With anything, even with a sitcom or a talk show, you know, I mean, I was there for the early days that Conan O'Brien show, one of my buddies was one of the writers, and I got to see them do it. And I was, I remember being there going, wow, it's going to be interesting to see how this works out, because this is obviously on bamboo legs right now. It's like, like a fawn.

So when you say they would like to be able to ride bikes like it's just because the drug violence, there's a lot of violence.

I mean, so like what kind of food, obviously Mexican food, but like what kind of food were you getting in wars?

What does that stand for? El Pastor, what does that mean?

And the Rolling Stones used to go there?

How long ago were they going to war as Mexico?

was no big deal back then. That's what's crazy is that when I was a kid you never heard about violence in Mexico. People go to Mexico to party everybody go to aquapoco. You know, people would go to Tijuana. Tijuana was just fun. I mean, it was crazy. You know, they would all talk about donkey shows and all the crazy shit you go over there and see, but it was never like don't go to Tijuana because of drug violence. Yeah. That all happened during the Bush administration. Yep. I went to Cancun in like 2000 and two or something like that for MTV and MTV did a spring break thing down there and man it was it was fun it was great and then within seven or eight years nobody would go yeah I mean, within seven or eight years, everybody's terrified of going to Mexico. All you heard in the news, and I'm sure a lot of it was exaggerated. And I mean, if it bleeds it leads, right? If the news is going to show you some shit about Mexico, it's not going to show you out past door tacos, and how great it is on the street.

Well, the other problem is they're like sort of their economies completely connected to the United States in a lot of ways where it's like there's plenty of violence in America that we don't even consider like nobody's scared to go to Chicago. But Chicago is fucked up man. There's more gun violence in Chicago than almost anywhere in North America. Yeah. And Chicago's terrible right now.

It's right up there. I think it's Chicago and Detroit, but no one's like, oh my god, we can't go to Chicago. You'll cover all the South Chicago. You know, let's go to Chicago. We don't even consider it. Yeah, it's all on the South side. But I mean, that's sort of the same way people have to look at about Mexico. Although I do have to tell you this one story. I went to this resort recently in Mexico near Porto, Viara, and I was like, wow, this place is so pretty. How is it that Mexico has all this drug violence and all this problems? But this is beautiful resort and all these wealthy people go to vacation this resort and they have these little golf carts. that they give you on the resort to move around the resort and we took the golf card and they're like you can go into the city if you like you know you can take the golf cards anyway once like all right let's go into the city so we go into the city and we went a block from that resort one block and we found a fucking small military based with armored vehicles with dudes sitting on their on machine guns with steel plates in front of them ready to rock at a moment. So that's how they keep these wealthy people like protected. I was like, wow, this is a wake-up call right here.

God made the border between United States and Mexico. God made it that way. God has a plan.

Well, people are so terrified of opening up the boards and Mexico and letting people go back and forth. They're so terrified of the idea, but how many Mexicans are already over here illegally? And does this even to be that much of a problem? I mean, there's plenty of natural born Americans that are fucking things up, just as bad as anybody else. And most of the Mexicans, I know, are hardworking people that are very friendly. Like, if you go to Mexico, one of the things you find Like right away, it's how friendly people are. Mexico is a nice place.

What's eroding? It's eroding slowly, but not not quick enough. Not quick. You know, what what used to be in necessity, like we had to keep our tribe away from invading tribes because we couldn't communicate with them. We didn't know their language. people came from some other land to try to take our resources we had to protect it they would come over and boats and they'd rape and pillage that's not really the case anymore so this necessity of having these borders and and especially in 2016 having it where you can't go back and forth you can't even cross into lands let's you have the right papers and you definitely can't work here because you'd be taking our jobs yeah

yeah well that's yeah well stockpiling wealth is a weird thing right when people get to this point with it just constantly well if you have like billions of billions of dollars but you're still involved in constantly trying to accumulate wealth that's a weird thing I wanted to run this idea by you please because I listen to show that I love the ideas you bring up I'm convinced and I wish there was a politician that was that was promoting this but I think there should be a salary cap on the world

I need islands and shit rocket ships. I want to go to the moon.

I guarantee you can't.

He's going to go to the moon on a big dick. Come on.

I don't know. No, not in real life. No, not from being serious.

It's interesting, but someone who makes more than $500 million could take that money and start a gigantic business and hire hundreds of millions of people. I mean, just because you have, uh, hundreds of dollars.

It's interesting, but if you play monopoly and which is that's what everybody's doing, right? Everybody's there's a funny money. What's a game? I mean, the capitalism in a lot of ways is a lot like a game. You're trying to accumulate and some people are more dedicated to that game and they try to accumulate constantly. I mean, if I was more dedicated to just doing the things that I do, if I was more dedicated in a capitalist sense, I would accumulate more money. My personal belief is that would fuck with me creatively, because it would take away resources that I use for other things. It would fuck with the way I do the podcast. If you only think about how much money you can make, there's certain things you wouldn't say, there's certain ways you wouldn't speak. And the irony in my business is that would ultimately cost me money, because my product would suffer. So I think in a lot of ways the game of capitalism itself, just to calling it a game. It's very problematic if you have a cap on how much money you can make in that game. Because there's always going to be these outliers. These Michael Jordan's of sport that take things to the fucking end of the level and go deep and want to make as much money as they possibly can. And I don't necessarily think that that's bad. I think you should have the freedom to be fucking crazy. You should have the freedom. If you want to make, you want to be the first guy that makes $100 billion, you should have the freedom to do that. As a human being who makes a much money, you also should have an understanding of what kind of an impact you can have on other people with that money. From your own personal perspective, you can take that money and invest it in different communities, you can start programs, you can give people scholarships, you can do all this amazing stuff with that money that you wouldn't be able to do if somebody put a cap and said you can only make 500 money in bulk.

And where's that money? Go though. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. Say if you say anyone could only make $500 million a year, but all of a sudden you're bowling and you hit that ceiling. You're just slamming up against that ceiling every year and you're like, you know what man? I would have made $3 billion this year, but I only made 500 million because there's a fucking cap on this bitch. I could have taken that money. I could invest it in communities. I could have started all these these centers for young kids.

I'm still living on a mountain about the government.

And you'd be taping it, but what would you do with the rest of the money? How's it work? So like save you made $3 billion one year, but the cap was at $500 million. So they just cut you off. And all the rest of that money goes where?

And that's like red cross. We're like 80% of the money goes to bullshit. Yeah. Doesn't even go to the actual.

Well, the problem is that there's so much money involved in red tape and bullshit and employees and overhead and all the different operating costs. When you look at the actual operating costs involved in charities and you compare it to how much money actually goes to the charity that you're sending money to, it's disturbing. It makes people feel sad.

Well, I think we're stuck on money because a lot of people don't have it. So it's the ultimate thing. And some people have too much of it. Some people do. Like when you don't have money, like when I was young and I didn't have any money, man, I remember the first check that I got I got a big check from Disney. I got a development deal when I was like 24 and all of a sudden I didn't have to worry about my bills. It was the first time in my life I didn't have to worry about my bills and I was like my rant is taking care of this month I can go out to eat and I remember it was like a physical feeling of like Like a physical feeling of relaxation. Like now all of a sudden the overhead cloud of debt and worry about my bills had lifted and the sun was shining. And I was like, oh, and I will never forget that feeling. So that feeling was a revelation as far as like how much stress I was under and most people are under on a daily basis. So because of that stress, what people think about is man, I got to make money because that is the way to get away from this fucking stress. Yeah, you know, because it becomes this carrot that you ever get to eat.

Oh, Austin, what you're trying to do? You're trying to get really American farmer.

If you really do, what do you really do like reading YouTube comments? Read the comments and how we're targeted that idea is because people are fucking lazy. They give people guaranteed money. They're not going to do shit. They're going to jack off into the street. They're going to take shits on the cars as they pass by. They're going to do whatever they're doing. They're doing it anyway. People are lazy. They're doing it anyway. you remove the incentive to work. Like if you give people, you're going to create a welfare world.

I'm penalizing them. They have to pull their own weight like the whole reason why there's an incentive to work. Yeah, it's because if you work you earn something and you don't just survive you earn something and you get to understand that effort can't go reward. Now, people don't have effort equals reward. The government just gives your reward.

I know that it's human nature, man. If you take people from scratch and make them entitled from scratch and just have them programmed to think that money comes free and it's coming off and then you have a nation of spoiled kids. You ever seen a spoiled kid come for a rich parents?

You think you can change people? Do you think you can change people? You definitely could change and we've given $30,000 here. You can make them lazy. You can. You make people lazy and they didn't earn that money. You can't just give people money for no reason. That doesn't help people contributes. It doesn't make a better society.

I just want to thin the herd. Okay, I want wolves in the streets. I want to make it harder.

How to live in the woods for a month out of the year.

They might, but they would have to have some sort of a life affirming experience. Like something would have to happen a near death experience, losing a loved one, a revelation, a psychedelic drug experience.

Yeah, you can't do that. And if you give people $30,000 a year, that's what you're going to get. You have to go away and feel the problem. People need to jump off somewhere. They need an incentive. They need something to get them to work. And then in doing that, you create people that understand and value hard work and discipline. And it's not just about making money. It's also about understanding yourself and knowing that you can accomplish things. And not just to accomplish things from a financial standpoint, but to accomplish things as far as going on a diet and taking care of your health, pursuing an athletic goal, pursuing a creative goal, or finishing a book or writing a manuscript. There's a lot of things that people won't do if you just give them money.

But you know, baseline needs. All right, in this country, If you look at the amount of people in this country that have baseline needs issues and how much money they earn as opposed to the rest of the world, you know, there's a crazy statistic that I've quoted before. If you make more than $34,000 a year, you are in the 1% of the world. Yeah. The world. Yeah.

Well, and it's a cycle. Well, that's kind of crazy. And then they should definitely not have to look at our Jamie. Yeah, let's not, but they can definitely I mean, it definitely do better than put people in jail for now. I'm parking tickets are fucking ridiculous, first of all. I mean, if there's a violation as far as like someone parking in front of a fire hydrant or something like that, that makes sense to me, or parking in front of a driveway, like that kind of shit, but the idea that you're charging people, but the idea that you're charging people to park on the street is fucking gross anyway. You have a meter and I have to put money in this meter so I could park my car. How about fuck you? You know, these are streets that we're paying for with our taxes, by the way. And this is a public street and the idea that you're going to just steal money from people because they have to park somewhere. It's gross. And not only that, you have this fucking asshole in a bus or this little scooter thing that goes around and gives tickets and marks your tire with chalk to make sure that you've not been parking there for more than 90 minutes. I'll give you a ticket for that too. It's all gross, man. All the chips gross.

I'm not going to do it. I mean, there's got to be ways that are better than that. And the big way is my feeling. I mean, I've discussed this before, but my feeling that this country has a lot of places where you're like Baltimore I had Michael Wood on on the podcast before he's a former police officer from Baltimore who talked about how crazy it is there and how they would find when he was a cop they found this manifest from like the 1970s it was a directive of like how to engage in different areas and where the crime is and where the drug violence is and where the break it was and he's like This was the same shit that we were dealing with in the 2000s. He's like, is the same areas, the same problems, the same exact, like, this is where the drugs are. This is where the crime is. It was the same thing. He's like, no one fixed it. And when you're stuck in that kind of a cycle, that is where the government should be sending money. We're always sending money to these countries, sending money to Afghanistan and Iraq and trying to rebuild nations. How about rebuild this fucking nation? How about these problems that we have? If we want this country to be stronger, the best way to make a stronger country is to have less losers, right? Now, when you get a shitty hand, if you have two ones, but you have four aces. What the fuck, man? I'm one. Well, we get to figure out a way We have to figure out a way to make the hands that people are dealt with in life far easier to move with. And there's a lot of people that are dealt with a fucking terrible shitty hand and we just turn to blind eye towards these terrible and poverage communities that are fucking filled with crime and these children that grow up there by the time they get to be 17 and 18, they've seen so much shit and the programming in their mind is so So disturbing because everything that they've been involved with everything they've seen. They've seen loved ones getting incarcerated. They seem people get shot. They've seen crime. They've seen a lack of hope. They've seen police brutality. They've seen all these terrible things. That is what we need to clean up in the country. Not to keep people from making tons of money.

There's thousands and thousands and thousands of stories of people who grew up in similar environments that didn't have that mindset that even though they were told they didn't have any hope they said, I'll show you. And they went out and they made, made their shit happen and they became rich and successful. That guy could have been that. He chose to feel sorry for himself. You were telling him some good things. You were giving him some good advice. He didn't want to listen. And he didn't want to listen. And he was telling you, he's consciously aware that he had been programmed to think there was no hope. If that's what he was telling you, that's on him, man. And there's always going to be that. And that is an example for you. Because the people that fail in this weird fucking race that we're all in or this weird experience that we're on, when they fail, if you can't help them, at least you can learn from them. And we can look along the way at different people that have done terrible things. And we could say, well, what they did was awful, and they should be punished. And that is almost definitely true. But also, we can learn that this could happen to anybody who's in the wrong circumstances, have the wrong mindset and chooses the wrong actions. These all these things are important. These are important not just for the person that's involved in that situation, but for everyone else observing, because we learn from each other. We don't just learn by experience. We learn from other people's experiences, and it's very, very important that way. because we can experience other people's lives just through sheer communication. And it's one of the most beautiful things about social media is that we can all share much more information than has ever been possible before. And through that, you can learn, hey, you know who else was told that he would never amount to be shit, JZ. You know, you know, who else grew up in a shitty neighborhood? You know, this fucking basketball player or that MMA fighter or this stand-up comedian or that artist. There's a million examples of people who told they're not going to be shit.

My parents told me to get a job. That's what my parents did. They told me I wasn't funny. They told me fighting is dangerous. They told me all the wrong things.

Yeah, lawyers, they die of being tired and just unhappy. Mr. Exhausted and they get coke and hookers and shoot themselves. Can I go to the bathroom? Yeah, fuck yeah, man. Go to the bathroom.

I have decided to retire young, thanks to the cheese, catches later. Connor McGregor?

Yeah. No one knows what's going on. He's decided to retire young, which means like 34 eventually. Yeah, not today. It is. And man, unless he got fucking headkick today and knocked into oblivion, The idea that he's going to go out on a loss like that to Nate Diaz. Look, he's got plenty of cash if he wanted to retire young and step away. I mean, I guarantee you he probably made somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 million bucks to the Josie Aldefight. He probably made more than that for the Nate Diaz fight. I would imagine after he spent a fuckload of it. He's probably still got a few million bucks laying around. He's a hero in Ireland. He could always make money. He could always run a gym and be fine, but if I had a guess. It doesn't make any sense. The only reason why it would make sense, the only reason why it would make sense is Connor had actually thought about retiring from MMA before he got the call for the UFC. There was a point in time where he had some friends that were experiencing some serious health issues from fighting and then most recently that young man from the Portuguese guy died in an MMA contest, which I think took place in the UK.

I think he trained with the Portuguese guy that just died recently. It is entirely possible in that sense, but if I had a guess, there's no way he'd do it like this.

If that's it, If that's if you got hacked and that's it. That's all they're gonna do.

I really call bullshit, but you never know I just highly doubt it stay tuned folks. I think it's trolling if I had a guess I'd say he's trolling fucking around people if he decided I'm gonna retire young and then like I said like one day or two days later, which means around 34 you know, he's like 28 now I mean, he's smart. He will retire young. It's just, there's some dudes staying at way too long. They wind up with rattled domes.

What are you trying to do with a target weight? You trying to get to or a body fat number?

So you don't have lofty goals, your reasonable goals.

Do you like it? Or is it like your 19-year-old friend that was like, you don't understand, there's no hope for me.

That's it. You don't want to be shredded. Like if someone gave you a pill, say, Eddie, I have a pill right now with no health consequences whatsoever. I can give you this pill and you will be fucking LaBron Jam shredded.

You're pre-diabetic. No, you're still eating candy at night.

And yeah, you're still eating candy late at night. The fuck is wrong with you. God knows self control, man. But then you you're thinking everybody should get 30 grand. Do you understand? Like discipline is an important part of life. Do you understand this? This is chill. This is very important.

It's just got to do you write things down. Do you write things down that you have to do? Yeah. Do you write things down that you just don't do anymore? Like this I won't do this anymore. This is not I'm not this is not on the menu anymore.

Well, you can't do that. You had to write things down.

Just getting to give yourself a certain, like here's a good example. Give yourself 60 days. Say, for 60 days, I'm going to go on a diet where I don't need any bread. I don't take in any pasta. I don't have any rice. I only eat healthy foods. Everything is healthy or I don't eat it. It's it. The rice is the killer man. Well, rice is a lot of carbs, you know, and it translates directly in your body to sugar. And it'll also, it's like, it's inflammatory. Like, it causes inflammation.

Well, I just eat whole foods always now. But I've been doing it for I got on this primal blueprint diet about three months ago and I said I was going to give myself two months. But after the two months were over, I'm like, this is how I'm eating now. This I feel so good. Do you drink? Yeah, I don't get crazy. But occasionally I do. Yeah. I believe everything in moderation, including moderation. So, if you're out and you get your freak on and someone says you want to do shots, you're like, fuck yeah, let's do this. Get in there, but you don't do it all the time. Every now and then, but understand the consequences, you will get wrecked. Yeah.

Drinking? Drinking. Yeah. Well, booze is bad, but the feeling is great. I think there's some amazing things that are accomplished when you're under the influence. incredible things get accomplished at future main on a curb but as far as like social things you have real great fun with your friends that you'll never forget yeah there's there's moments of like this this this moments during alcohol intoxication where you kind of see things from what they are, because the veil that's in front of your mind, the veil of inhibition and struggle and bullshit and insecurity is removed by that alcohol. For the most part of alcohol makes people a lot of, it makes a lot of people assholes. Because because they lose their inhibitions, because they get cocky, because they don't have fear anymore, it just, it distorts reality.

Well, you're a nice guy. Nice people to become more nice. But when someone's an asshole in their drug, I usually find that's incredibly revealing of who they're trying not to be when they're sober. Like what they're hiding from you when they're sober. Usually is like revealing of the demons inside of them. Yeah, I just get goofier. Yeah, I get silly. Yeah. I got want to hug people and show them a laugh.

Well, I've had friends that are alcoholics, though. It's a weird thing when you look and you see those shark eyes. Well, I'm like, oh, that is not there anymore. Clink, you know? I'm not mean to use your name, but yeah. Or Mike's not there anymore. You know, you look right in their eye and you're like, where'd they go?

Yeah, dude. I want to date with this girl when I'm one day and it was awesome. It was great. How do you good time? A lot of fun. I was like, wow, she's pretty cool. Next day, I meet her at the bar. She's already tanked up. She's breaking glasses, yelling at people. I was like, what? What the fuck? Just a few drinks. It's all it took. A few drinks and she went local. Did you smash? I know I ran.

I knew some people that had been into trouble and I learned from other people's experiences. Now, I've never been a fan of drugs, especially girls. Like I just feel like when you, if you're a date with someone, if you date a drug addict or you date an alcohol or something like that, man, the burden of just getting to know someone and joining their company and being even with each other and enjoying each other's company is It's hard enough to figure out if you're compatible with someone socially without this monkey on their back. Yeah. Someone's got a heroin problem and you're going to date a girl with a heroin problem. I have a buddy of my buddy, Brian Cowellon. He's the best, but he always used to try to clean these girls up. He used to try to take him in. He's gonna save a hug. Oh, he's the worst. He was the worst. I just tell my like, get out now. He wouldn't do it. And then two years later, it was like, man, I should have listened to you. Yeah, you should have listened to me again. Again, for fucking a decade, I used to tell this guy.

Yeah, but some guys are like, yeah, she's just alone and she's just needs a friend and you know what that clean up, I mean, she's well, I make mistakes. They're into it. They're into it. Well, that's also Here's the reality of Captain Sabahos. When you find someone's problems are greater than your own, it lets you concentrate on things other than your problems, which you are not fixing, avoid your lazy fuck. So you procrastinate and people find really strange ways to procrastinate. And one of the ways they find to procrastinate is to create other problems in their life that take precedent over the problem that they're avoiding.

I am too. I believe in a living wage. You know, like I'm down with this Bernie Sanders thing and I love the fact that Governor Cuomo in New York just passed this $15 an hour thing. Minimal wage gonna be 15 bucks an hour. It's so funny. It's so much that I'm like Facebook. You know, you think this is good. Like this is gonna destroy a lot of businesses. I'm like, yeah, you know what they said that about slavery. Yeah. It's the same shit they said about slavery. A bullish slavery, these plantations are gonna go under. Well, guess what, you can't, you can't just have people work all day for you and not give them any fucking money. Yeah, they have to be able to make a living. And if your business does not make enough money to give someone a living wage to work all week for you, then guess what? You can't afford, you can't afford to have an employee. So you have to figure out a way to either make more money, you have to figure out a way to get a better business, or operate with less employees.

You know, many people who are having a job right now would make a lot of money just selling weed. They would. Yeah, go to Colorado right now. You know, real estate in Colorado is up like 19%.

Oh, no, no, no, that's that those are state laws. You can't have those state laws those buying up the rights laws. That's what they were trying to pass in Ohio, right, Jamie and everybody rightfully said no to it because this is going to be a monopoly situation.

But what's going on in Colorado is it's changing the economy. But Colorado, first of all, they've made more money from taxes this year for the first time ever than they did from alcohol with weed. More money from weed than without alcohol, which is just fucking bananas. And they charge 39%. The 39% taxes on weed. And everybody's like, who cares? Who cares? It's still cheaper than alcohol. And we'll pay it. And it's better. Exactly. So like something like that could change. And also, Look, man, you can't infantilize this entire country like that. You can't tell people what they can and can't do. You just can't do it. And it's gigantic part. I mean, all these restrictions on behavior and what you can and can't do are a gigantic part of the problem with the fiber of our economy and the fiber of our culture. We've got all these weird restrictions that are in place that are our cake and don't make any sense. And when you accept one thing doesn't make any sense, well then it leaves room for a lot of other weird shenanigans like Ted Cruz want to lock people up for Dildos. You know about all that shit? Oh, this dumb motherfucker is really close to being president. Ted Cruz was trying to pass a law that would put you in jail for having Dildos. Pull this up, Jamie, because this is just one of the most hilarious things about this dumb ass that people are trying to force down the American public's face because the Republican candidates are all a joke other than Donald Trump. No one could get past that guy and he's a joke. No one can get past that guy, so the Republicans are panicking. They don't want to do. So they put this fucking Ted Cruz dummy in, not knowing there's a million different things that are wrong with them. The time Ted Cruz defended a ban on Dildos. His legal team argued that there was no right to stimulate one's generous. Scroll up, please. In one chapter of his campaign, Book of Time for Truth, Senator Ted Cruz proudly chronicles his day as the test Texas solicitor general, a post that he held from 2003 to 2008, bolstering his conservative cred, the Republican president candidate notes that, during his stint as the state's chief lawyer in front of the Supreme Court and federal state appellate courts, he defended the inclusion of, under God in the pledge of allegiance, blah, blah, blah, blah, scroll up to the the Dildofe case. Battle concerning privacy and free speech right 2004 companies and owned Austin store selling text sex toys and a retail distributor of such products challenge Texas law outlawing the sale and promotion of supposedly obscene devices and we'll put put the thing where we wanted to have how much you should go to jail for it because it was like two years here it is Um, under the law, a person who violated the statute could go to jail for up to two years for selling Dildos and this dummy supported that. This is, this is, this is, this is someone's right to show.

So important. It's the most hilarious thing because Dicks are available for anybody who needs them. All you have to do is raise your hands, step outside your house, and go, I'm looking for some deck. Have a sign on the side of the road, looking for deck. And someone will get someone's going to pull up. Yeah. You know, there's people that stop at red lights and they have signs for change. Yeah. Even that works. Okay. People will give you what you need. But if you have a sign that says, I'm looking for deck and reasonably, clean someone's gonna fuck you someone in some more pull up yes anytime any any corner but people have the right the right the right they have the right to want a dick without a body attached to it yes a dick without a relationship or opinions or even a pulse anything to say one dick doesn't even know if you made out of a human tissue you want a rubber one yeah it's just just it was his fill this whole up on body get done it's just get it done but I don't know how I got to that but our leader ship is a joke But it's a joke because you can't expect a person to want, like, anybody that wants to run this entire country has got to be a crazy person. You have to be a nut. And it's really, really shouldn't have one president anyway. The idea is ridiculous. The one person's going to be involved in the all the decisions for the entire country that's preposterous.

I don't trust any of them. And what's really fucked up is this is like the best spot in the planet. I got all the other spots. All the different goofballs all over the world. Like you see what's going on in Brazil. Like Brazil. They're impeaching their fucking president right now.

Tell people about it.

Well, the Panama Papers is, because this is not because it's discussed in the news, hardly at all.

Yeah, and influence, and highlights how people are getting influence to make certain decisions, and how much bribery is taken place, and how we're stepping out.

It's shit. So the best way to fix this is what? Give people $30,000. Yes. That's just gonna keep people poor. That'd be the best way to keep people from competing with you. I'll tell you that. Give them, give them $30,000. Then I'm gonna do jack shit with it.

Kick racks. Fucking drink, holy. Did people drink? Oh, any more? Old English?

No key tones at all English. That stuff will get you fucked up, man. I remember the first time I drank a 40 I couldn't believe how drunk you get.

Yeah, it's like seven thirty eight o'clock Dan Aeroberg from the black he's gonna be here at six.

No, don't, don't text while you're on the show.

Yeah, we'll talk afterwards.

But for me, you know, the problem is you're a podcast. Oh, well, you're one of my favorite guests. Thank you. It takes a long time to get from here to downtown.

We're in Woodland Hills. It'll take you probably an hour and a half at six. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, if you have to leave, you're shit that's seven. You'd have to leave it six. So when he's here, he would have to leave. You have to say hi.

I've never booked for a long time. He's a rock and roll star dude. Probably doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

Dry snitch, dry snitch. What's dry snitch? What's dry snitch?

Yeah, I think the world. I think the world. He said he didn't mean to let it get out, right? Is that what his words?

Not an investigative reporter. Not me man. I don't care. I'm just like don't hang out with that guy. Please open Scarlet X on a mentally.

That's so nice. I'm glad people are looking at it that way though that they have ostracized him instead of like concentrating only on the guy who is banging other girls.

Yeah, it's a paradise in that case because because we regardless whether or not the guy who did the deed shouldn't have done it or should have done it like whatever your opinions are about cheating that guy's violating a friendship like that guy didn't tell him that because he wanted the world to know yeah, he told him that because their friends I have friends to tell me dark shit all the time they do when we laugh like pigs and I'll never tell a soul I'll go to my grave though that knowledge and that's what a friend's supposed to be So any guy would do that, it's a piece of shit. So I'm glad that the rules and principles of friendship have overtaken the rules and principles of monogamy. Loyalty. Yes.

They're not my friends. Also the girl I'm assuming is hot, right?

Yeah, okay. Here's a problem there Guys who can't fuck hot girls are always mad at them

They can't fuck them. They're mad at them. Girls who see hot girls, wish they could be those hot girls, and they're mad at them too. Hot girls take more hate than anybody on the planet. Because the guys who can't fuck them are always going to be upset. This bitch thinks she's better than me, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. And then the girls like she ain't all that. Yeah. And then the girl's just taking constant negativity. Yep. That's one of the problems with social media.

Just let you know. Yeah. But didn't Kobe do that shit with Shaq?

Yeah, I get that. But I mean, chili-pimp sounds like, oh, he's just a chili-pimp.

This dude in the mall claimed he was pimping his pimping was big time, but he ain't nothing, but a chili pamper. That's how I use it.

So this, what a world we live in here. This is an actual dictionary that gives you, you could also divide the mug. You can buy a mug. This is chili pimper. Oh, click on that. Let's see what we've got here. Doesn't have, oh wait a minute. The mug must have the definition on it. Oh, wow. Oh, that is so ridiculous.

They sell it. They're spelling chili like the food. Yeah, I like that. You like that? That's like fire. Oh my god. Look at the definition. Brooks badass. Yeah, well, this is one person's definition. Oh, chili pan. Well, what's a sapio sexual? Oh, a sapio sexual? Yeah, the fuck anything that's not a monkey. That's almost like humans. Was that what it is? Sapio sexual. One of finds intelligence, the most sexually attractive feature. What? Oh. This is the urban dictionary. I want an incisive, inquisitive, insightful irreverent mind. I want someone for whom philosophical discussion is for play. I want someone who sometimes makes me go out to their wit and evil sense of humor. I want someone that can reach out and touch randomly. I want someone I can cut away. I decided students all that means I am sapio sexual you know what that sounds like that sounds like a really lonely person who needs to get the shit together like when you whenever you read like someone's Instagram and it's filled with I'm looking for this you know someone who loves you deeply does not but but but but and they have it's like that's a lonely fucker stream alone shoot what about is he attic single-ationic mail seeks writer die check is that that's perfect but it's funny cool see when it's funny it's cool but this when if you just is just for all the boys out there listening okay and girls too if you're lesbians if you go to a girls page and it's all this stuff about love and what true love is and when you find the one you'll know fucking run run from that person run now because that person's probably never happy and they just sit around posting memes about what true love is and they're gonna make you go to brunch those people like brunch like the most is there's most a drinking cons Hey, it's been a dick and suck my dick how about that?

They go to brunch. I like girl that never wakes up early enough for brunch like shit. I missed a call again.

This one I want to talk to you about because this is a this is a big sub just been going on now just this term that didn't exist until recently chili pit cultural appropriation yes cultural appropriation that Rick Bayless guy who's a very famous Mexican chef yeah that guy is taking shit from all these social justice warrior dipshits because he he makes Mexican food and he's not Mexican he's a white guy from Oklahoma and there was this whole article about whether or not this guy who is one of the best Mexican could you think he's one of the best his food is not

Well, he's widely recognized as a highly respected.

This is what you're supposed to be. You're a guy like you're one of those guys that's deep deep deep in the world where it's like if you came to me and said, oh my god, this guy, I don't want to say anybody's name, but this guy is hilarious. I believe that guy's dog shit. He's got writers. You know what I mean?

But you know what's weird man? Like if you're a stand-up comedian, okay, and you open up a comedy club and some whack-ask comedians from terror form. Yes. If you're a stand-up comedian and you open up a comedy club and some whack-ask comedians comes to perform at your comedy club. No one says, hey, Joey Diaz is comedy club. I went there the other day and this guy went up and performed this guy's sucks. So Joey Diaz must be a bad comedian. Like, if you were gonna judge Rick Bayless, you would have to judge him by his own cooking. Have you ever eaten his own cooking? Yeah. You have? Yeah. For Anterra Grill. But were you there when he cooked?

Oh, no, I didn't meet him. But he was there.

I think we're split in here. Because this is a restaurant. When you're saying his restaurant's no good, that I understand. But have you ever eaten his cooking? I mean, I feel like if you're in the restaurant, that's his cooking. No, no, no. No, no. If he cooked, have you eaten what he cooked?

Okay, I think a part of the problem this conversation is, you want to talk about the restaurant this guy runs. I want to talk about him as a chef. and I'm saying you haven't had his food as a chef and what I've read is that he makes excellent Mexican food and he really is a student of the culture and is enamored by Mexican culture and Mexican traditions and he's essentially a scholar of Mexican food.

I went to his restaurant, but you never had the food. But you've never had it from him.

But doesn't that mean something?

Right. But he's not cooking it. I just feel like if you're leaving into someone else to do it, you might have had the bad. If you're in an architect and you're a builder of a house and someone comes along and does a shitty job building your creation, are you responsible? Well, if you were supposed to oversee every single aspect of the construction,

He's a fan of the courts. Let me just be honest with you. No one who goes to restaurants knows about awards. No one does do. But it's so rare that anyone ever discusses awards.

But it's far as part of. Like awards not you know anybody that wins. I don't know what the fucking awards are for food. I just know when someone's supposed to be a famous chef.

So there's some excellent Mexican restaurants. But by point being, it's like this is guy. So you think it's deserve it. He's getting shit because not because he's the best Mexican because he's getting all these accolades, not because he's the best, but because it's easy to write a story about him. He's a white guy from Oklahoma. Yes. and he's very articulate when it comes to this.

Right. You'd be mad at that.

But with bailis in his defense does follow traditional Mexican cooking methods and makes food that tastes like Mexican food

For journalists, they could write one shitty restaurant review and just take you down. They have that power. That power is really intoxicating, isn't it?

Have you ever dealt with like, do she journalists that you, you feel like we're kind of out to get you?

What's it getting put in the harder and harder to do that these days, too, because of the internet? You know, if someone writes a shitty review, it's so easy to out that person and describe what exact it was going on behind the scenes and who that person really is.

Right. Right. Right. Right. You know that makes sense. What do you think is the future when it comes to I think like yelp reviews have kind of taken away a lot of a steam from journalists reviewing restaurants because a lot of people when they want to find out about a restaurant they go to a yelp review. You know, they'll say, oh, look at this. Four and a half stars on Yelp. Let me read a couple of reviews. And you read a couple of reviews and you go see what their other reviews are. And other restaurants, you find out whether or not they're accurate or that's disturbing when you find someone as a shield. When you definitely can tell, someone was hired by that restaurant to write some bullshit piece. They only have one review and it's of that restaurant. It's super obvious.

Fuck that 30 grand a year. Can't give him money.

What do you like doing better? Do you like working as a chef and cooking and only a restaurant or do you like doing these TV shows? No, this crazy thing I see you do.

Wow, that's interesting. Yeah.

Really? Yeah. Wow. So you're a pretty diverse guy, man. You got this one of the things I like about you. You've always got a bunch of irons in the fire.

What do you use to write? Would it would a program do you use? Final draft.

So can it's not it's not that easy to convert.

But you can have two windows open at the same time, just copy and paste back and forth. It sounds like that brutal.

Yeah. Yeah, I wrote some stuff from final draft. I don't draft tricky. But once you get used to the shortcuts and how to use the commands. Yeah, you know, but have you for writing ideas? Have you ever used right room? Do you know what that is? No, it's pretty dope. It's A program where you, it blocks out everything in your screen, except for the writing. You can't go into browsers, you can't, you don't get any notifications, you don't do shit. It just shows you only the writing and gives you look, look at it, I like that. That's good. That's what your screen looks like. It's just a black screen with green ink, and that's all you get.

Yeah. Yeah. I've done that on airplanes in particular. I like to write on airplanes for some change.

There's another great program called Scrivener. You ever tried that, you know what that is? It's a program that allows you to have like a virtual chalkboard and it has all these little index cards you move around the corkboard. So I'll show you here. I got it open up here. And when you take some of your ideas and you can write them on these little corkboard things and then as you, I'll show you what it loads up. Other James got it. Yeah, so like that. So it gives you this option to do these little, so I got it like here. And you put these little little notes like little, these little tiny little fake index cards and you can move these suckers around on this. Well, that's a good quote. It's called Scrivener.

No. No, I don't. I used to write a bunch of different stuff, but now primarily what I do is I write essays and add those essays that take stand-up ideas. I used to write a lot of blog entries, but I found out that a lot of those blog entries were eventually become stand-up and it was almost like I was giving people a preview of the stand-up. I'm like better to write them for myself and then just steal from them.

That's good attitude. Sometimes though, I like reading people's blogs. Sometimes I'm going to write a blog and it'll change your day. You know, just to change the frequency of the way you think. And just for whatever reason, their thought just makes it into your mind and bounces around and there and it changes some things.

Right, you know, that's a thing about sharing. You can't un-share. You can't un-share.

Well, so there's a lot of people that live inside their phone. Yeah. They live inside their laptop and their phone. They live in it. And their interaction with the world comes directly through that. That's their filter. That's their condom for, you know, intimacy with the world. Yeah. It's very strange.

Well, it's definitely affecting young kids. I mean, young kids today are so much more exposed than we were when we were kids. It's not even close. If you're going to high school today, I mean, everything is on Instagram. Everything is on Facebook. Anything that happens. It's even remotely interesting and school gets put out there. Yeah. I mean, this, this is the world we live in today. It's very different when I was going to school, nobody knew shit. And you heard a rumor about some girl cross town that jerks some dude off and you're like, whoa, oh, hot. You're about that. Let me go get jerk off and think about that. But nobody, you know, nobody, like, put it out there in that way where the rest of the world could look at it. And the rest of the world can see virtually anything that you put online today. It's just a strange thing because when you're young, You also don't understand the consequences. No. When you're talking shit or saying something or posting something, you really have no idea what that's going to do to people.

I mean, you know, it's camp all you need is one and that one to get to someone who has 10,000 and that 10,000 one of those 10,000 someone in that group has 20,000 and that person knows someone who's got a million and in three or four steps all of a sudden a million people have seen that and then if it's funny or it's crazy or it's interesting Like, here's another cultural appropriation story. There's this kid who was taking shit from this girl because the white guy would dreadlocks. And I don't know if you saw this, but there's this black girl and this is college in northern California. And she was given this little tiny white dude a hard time. She was just bullying him, man. It was gross. And she was telling him, you know, cut your hair. You have any, it's saying to a friend, you have any scissors. I'm gonna cut your hair. And he's like, why can't I wear this? She goes, because you're stealing from my culture. Which is ignorant on her part. She doesn't even know any better because the Greeks had dreadlocks. The Vikings had dreadlocks. Dreadlocks, it was what happens when you have dirty hair. When you have dirty hair and it knots up in these loops. Anyway, that video, someone was filming her bullying this, he's a little tiny dude. And this video of this black girl bullying this tiny little white guy, God fuck. and millions and millions of hits within a day. Because people recognize it and they were disgusted by it. And then people are also tired of all these self-appointed gatekeepers. Self-appointed people that can tell people, one of the beautiful things about culture is that culture can be shared and that people can look like me. I grew up learning Taikwondo and teaching classes in Korean because I grew up, that's what I spent my life doing. And so that culture became a part of my culture. It's not gonna go stealing it or culture appropriate. I was doing it on there and trying to get it justice. But people have decided it's another new way for someone to stand above them and take the moral high ground and try to control people's behavior.

Well, cultural appropriation to me is really when you're pretending your part of a culture like of a dude pretends he's Native American and starts wearing feathers in his hair and shit like that and like that's a nutty person. That's real. That's legit. Yeah. Well, it's also real cultural appropriation if you're wearing something that's supposed to be sacred. Like, there's certain articles of clothing and some cultures are considered sacred and you're not supposed to be just walking around on them. Like, you know, One of those things calls it a bindi with Indian people, Hindu people wearing their forehead. You know, that was like girls were wearing those things. But I think those are supposed to mean something in certain cultures. And it kind of, I get it. It kind of looks cool. You want to wear it because it looks cool. I get that. Yeah. But things get sketchy when you're pretending to be a different culture or you're lying about where you're from or you're lying. That's in my eyes more cultural appropriation.

Yeah, so you all that is those just dishonesty. It's like not a white dude wearing dreadlocks. You know, he's not pretending to not be white or like that Rachel Dolazel person that was the NCAA and WACP versus smoking Washington who turned out to actually be white.

Well, she really does love black culture and black people and she was doing a great job apparently. You're running the NAACP up there.

I think some black dude, Dictor and the Delirium. He just fucked her so good. She was just running around with Tweety Birds flying around her head. She had no idea what she was doing while she was doing it. She was a tough one. Well, this crazy people out there, there's a broad spectrum of crazy activity. You know, some of it that's logical and some of it that's not some of it that's a little tiny white lies and some of it that's just pretending to be a different race.

And in that strange shit is like what we're talking about before. We can all learn like anybody that tells like little white lies, maybe they'll they'll watch Rachel doze or someone else who got busted and some gigantic kind of glismic lie and go, oh, that's why you shouldn't lie. Oh, that's why honesty and integrity are very important to people because we communicate through noises that we make with our face that's supposed to level out the intent of your mind.

Unless who you are sucks and then you probably pretend you work on it. No, then you've got to work on it. No, I just pretend to be mine. The move is orange, spray tan, and dreadlocks and yeah. Well, honesty is always better and then if people don't like you will figure out why they don't like you and improve upon whatever aspect of your life that needs improving. Don't pretend. It's like like here's a perfect example of something that just never works. Name dropping. Name dropping's always gross and never works, but yet dummies still try name dropping. There's a lot of people that still think, you know, we're over hanging out with Tom.

Oh, Dan hour. Yeah, but that's different. I brought him up first. So I was saying that he was going to be here when I couldn't go to your shit. We've brought up Shane Smith too, but we're friends too. We're all friends. Yeah, we're all buddies. That's different. You can't you can't date name drop someone who we're both friends with. That's true. Yeah, that's different. That's true. But to other people listening.

That'd be so cool. The worst is when people name drop and they usually one name. Yeah, we're over Eddie's house. Who's Eddie? Eddie Murphy. What? You're just gonna say Eddie and I'm supposed to know.

She's like the real name instead of like a rapper.

Yeah, what is name dropping? How does that? Why does that? Why do people out? He's still trying to do that. I don't know. It's like a magic trick that just everybody knows. It's just terrible. It's terrible. Yeah, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Yeah. It's like you play in three card money and you only got one card. It's the same fucking card. You can't do it. Can't play that game. It's a super funny shit. All right. Yeah. Well, just weird behavior, man. It's like we were talking about before. We learned from each other. We learned from really great stuff. And we learned from shit, too. We learned from dumb shit.

Yeah.

Get in there, dude. Get in there with the anonymous 69 205 up your ass, whatever their name is. Don't ask university. Well, there's this this definitely. I mean, I'm joking around a lot about YouTube comments. There's actually some people that get involved. I mean, I go to science pages. And you look at the, there's some interesting YouTube comments where people debate at the actual ramifications, I'm fascinated by this planet nine. They're trying to observe now, because this is something I've been studying for a long time, that they've been thinking, there was a very little evidence of it up into recently, but that there was another planet outside the Kyber belt. Somewhere outside of Pluto, it's one of the reasons why they declassified Pluto as a planet. But now, they're almost positive. And there's a plan out there. They said, I think they said within 99% certainty that there's a gigantic planet somewhere around four to five times the size of the earth that is out way, way, way past Jupiter. And so I was going to a lot of these YouTube videos that were describing it and then reading the comments, the comments were fascinating. So that's a totally different sort of world. You know, people are debating like the ramifications and then every now and then one of those Zacharias hitching people would jump in there and do you know Zacharias hitching us?

Zacharias Hitchin was a guy who actually, ironically enough predicted this in the 70s. But he called it the 12th planet because that's when they thought Pluto was still a planet and then they thought the moon was a planet. Like this is all based on the Sumerian text. This is all getting real convoluted now. But Zacharias Hitchin, he is a biblical scholar. He's dead now. But he wrote all these books about this culture from another planet called the Anunnaki. and this is transcribing the ancient Sumerian texts, the Sumerians, where the oldest there is. Let's see that thing that he's holding up in front of him. That is a piece of Sumerian art that depicts these, it looks like some fucking transformous shit. Oh well, it does, right? Well, what's interesting is you see that star? You see the star, the sun with all the planets? That is our solar system. It's not just our solar system that is all the planets and all the right sizes, which is kind of fucking crazy. Wow. And this was 6,000 years ago when a lot of people didn't even think that the world, they thought the world was flat, right? But it also depicted this Orbit, what they believe is one of the things that the Sumerian texts describe is this elliptical orbit of this planet called nebiru. And this planet is the outside edge of our sources to become between Mars and Jupiter. In this Zechariah situation translation, I think it was every 3,600 something years. And that this is where the Anonaki came from. And then what they did is they came down here. They studied some lower hominids. They introduced their DNA into these lower hominids and made human beings. And so he had predicted this planet being outside of our solar system for a long time. It's the different ones there.

The orbit is different. The size of the orbit is different compared to what he described. No, we don't even have a picture of it. So we definitely don't know what it looks like. But the autonomaki, as described by Zechariah Sitchin, is the same thing as in the biblical term of the Elohim. There's also different descriptions of these giants that came from somewhere else. I think the description of autonomaki, what it means is those from heaven to earth came. And the idea is that there's advanced beings came down here in genetically engineered human beings. It's widely discredited by other scholars of ancient Babylonian and Sumerian culture, but fun is shit to pretend and read and wonder what if he's right man? But see, when you do look at some of the stuff though, you go, okay, well, how did they know about the solar system? How did they know about all those planets? Not only that, they had the caduceus, you know the caduceus, the symbol for medicine. It's also the double helix of DNA, and that's what he believes it represented. He believes that that could do see a symbol that they had represents DNA, and that's what the ancient Samarion people were trying to describe when they carved these things into clay tablets. They were trying to, as best they could, make some sort of a irrational logical depiction of what they are being told by these these ancient people.

Or there's just a giant or they have decorations that look like see there's there's the double helix see look at you look at the double helix at DNA and then you look at the caduceus or this intertwined see the top one if I was gonna if I was 6,000 years old man and I was gonna design some shit with snakes 6,000 years ago.

Well, that, but it does look like a double helix of DNA. I mean, it's very, very similar.

But why is it represent medicine? And why is it still represent medicine today? That caduceus that symbol still represents medicine today. True. That's how what I'm having trouble. There's some weird shit. There's also some weird shit in terms of some of the imagery that they had of the solar system one is one of the most telling because it's really bizarre that without a telescope, they were able to draw a detailed image of the solar system, like how the fuck did they do that? How do they know that there was that many planets out there? How would they able to differentiate between stars and planets? How do they know the right number of planets? Not only that, they also had a detailed depiction of the creation of the moon. They have to, you know, scientists and astronomers, they have Earth 1 and Earth 2, meaning that Earth was a certain size in a certain shape in the beginning and then it was hit by another planet. That's also in the ancient Sumerian depiction of how the universe was created, or how the solar system was created. There's a planet called the Marduk and Tiamat, and Tiamat collided with Marduk or something like that, I forget exactly what they, but essentially it's Earth 1 and Earth 2. It's the same model that actual astrologers or astronomers use today when they're describing the Earth.

He does. He thinks what he's dead. He did. He believed that that's what the ancient Sumerian text was trying to describe. But there's a whole website called sitginiswrong.com and sitginiswrong.coms from other scholars who were tired of listening to all this what they felt was nonsense. and they sort of laid out what they think is incorrect about his translations. But at the end of the day, put the translations aside and you look at a 6,000-year-old depiction of the solar system. It's like, what the fuck is that? Not only that, there's also depictions of these enormous people with these little monkey people sitting in their lap. And this was what he believed was describing the Anonaki's genetic alterations of monkeys. Of taking these lower hominids introducing their superior advanced DNA into these monkeys and creating something that's very different. I know we would do it. I'll tell you that. For fuck sure, right? If we found another planet, there was a bunch of dumb monkeys on. We did a detailed audit of the planet, and found no higher animals, nothing that had a computer.

It's, at the very least, someone would fuck one of those things. Like avatar, right? That was like one of the most realistic things about Avatar that dude wanted to fuck one of those blue people. I would be scared to put my dick in a blue person.

Blue people. That's so much bigger than us. Yeah. And like, you know, especially when you look at the mating habits of things that we know on Earth. What is this 36 foot tall blue person if you do you're gonna need some help? You're not gonna do it alone 36 foot tall that shit is so not real.

It's just, it's fun, most of it is fun. But if you look at that image that you had pulled up before, Jamie, there's an image of one of those Anonaki having a person having a little monkey-like person sitting in their lap, sign on this page. It's before when you had it, look at some of those other images. There's these ones where these guys, these enormous looking characters have these little tiny monkey people with thumbs on their feet, and they're sitting on this guy's lap. That thumbs on the phone in the drawing. They're smaller and they have thumbs on their lap. And according to the text, this guy described, the text is very confusing too because it's something called Cunia form. And Cunia form, it's like, if you've ever been in an old building that has like those old school nails, You know what those old school nails looks like? Like in the turn of the century, they were like a flat top, but it was almost like a wedge, and that's what nails looked like. Oh, that's how they, that was the writing. That's on it, Jamie. But that's one of them that's similar though. But this is Egyptian. You're looking at something that's Egyptian. But the Anonaki one, you had had it from just, if you go back to that window that you had before, go back to that window that you had before that had the depiction of the source system. Yeah, because when you would went whatever search that you use for that, there was one of them that had one of those homeboys had one of them sitting on his lap. Right up there, right up there at the top, who see you right there, bam, see that? Oh, look at that. With the thumb foot. Yeah. It's, there's a few of these that have little weird that people think are depictions of things with tales. It's very strange stuff, man. It's very strange. They had a very least. They had it advanced.

Well, it doesn't look like a monkey in that picture, but in some of them, they actually look like they have tails and got the fuck boy not haircut, too. There's also, there's also to weird stuff involved in it. They're, they're knowledge of the solar system was one of the most disturbing things because you're talking about 6,000 years ago, like how did they know about all those planets? How do they know that they knew the right orbit? You know, they knew that Jupiter was like far larger than Mars. They had Mars smaller than Earth. They had like all the orbits correct. It was really strange stuff.

You know, almost always the whole Shabbang's wrong.

Would you think that that would be fun though? It would be awesome. Isn't it better to be at the top of the food chain than to be waiting for galactic overlords to tell us how much we suck?

It would be devastating to the self esteem of people living on earth. I'll tell you that because it would realize we would be like very Lord of the flies asked like we were a bunch of kids left alone to our own devices and then when the adults showed up like what the fuck are you doing? Yeah, you know and you realized everybody's just acting like a psychopath because they have no one to look over them It would be cool though if if I've been doing it all wrong I kind of want to know what the hell we're supposed to do what we're definitely doing it all wrong But I think we're supposed to figure it out on our own. Yeah. Look, if we've got Ted Cruz Donald Trump Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, there are only hopes to be the commander and chief of the greatest army the world's ever known for fuck sure we're doing it wrong. We're 100% doing it wrong. This is these are not the great scholars and the great intellectuals that we need to help run this world. There's no one amongst them that has like a brilliant philosophy. Even when you're looking at, you're looking at Bernie and Hillary and Bernie as much as I love them and as much as I love some of his ideas. You see that guy and Hillary and they're bickering back and forth during these debates that's so unbecoming of someone who's supposed to be the president, the leader. Yeah, especially a dude who's in his 60s and some lady, you know, she covers everything except the very top of her neck. I mean, it's bizarre. It's bizarre. Like you're supposed to be further along in this crazy journey than us. If you want to be the president, you should be so far ahead that you have some lessons that you can impart upon the rest of us. You have some ideas about how we can improve our policies. You have some ideas on what laws that we can establish that would probably better to protect us from greed and from evil corporations and from people that are raping the world of all its natural resources.

Well, maybe he feels like the system is broken and he's in a situation to give his life meaning and maybe enhance the lives of other people by helping. I don't know, because I don't know him. I'm not even familiar with him, but I'm just playing Devils Advocate. Yeah. Devils Advocate would say that if you have all that money and you have all that freedom, why wouldn't you try to make the world a little bit of a better place?

Well, it's definitely been shown to be a puppet more than once, more than one different administration has been shown to be completely at the influence of the people that got him in the office in the first place. It's all disappointing, you know, and that would all be wiped out of the Anonaki showdown, but a gigantic gold disc came out levitating telling us how stupid we are.

But we're going to be that someday. That's my thought Captain Sabahov saved these. Yeah, that's well, yeah, they would totally be Captain Sabahov. The rest of the other aliens were like, What are you doing with the fuck off earth are you going to earth these had this planet of heroin addicts have you not watched TV? Have you not gone on earth and look at the YouTube comments? They're fucking savages get out of there, man. They're gonna eat you and fuck you and not necessarily in that order They're gonna come on your tids bro dude run They're gonna come in your grandma's tids get out get out of that planet if someone could be the first person of fucking out in hockey You know thing that would that would be a contest that would be a radios Contest feeling he was between humans and out in hockey's it's not a human fucking out in hockey it would be the out in hockey fucking the human You say that, but what if it's a long history of smart clever crafty person and an Anonaki that's been getting $30,000 a year and really doesn't have any motivation and they're weak.

You say that, but take one of the dumbest people today and put them in a room with one of the smartest people from ancient Rome and who would be running shit. smart student formation room. Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, don't you think that would be the case as far as like advanced intelligence? Like if you get a really dumb, I mean, unless they figured out a way to eliminate stupidity, which it seems like you're always going to have conflict and resolution. That seems like what the universe is supposed to be all about. The universe is all about problems and solutions for those problems and that's how things advance. And that's what the universe of thought is in this world. It's all its constant conflict and and resolution of that conflict, and trying to figure out how to never have this conflict again, and what's the best way to get it, even natural disasters, and all this thing. There are opportunities to innovate. There are opportunities to figure out, okay, we saw what happened in Fukushima. How do we get power and not have this problem, and what do we do, and then all these minds converge, and they try to figure out solutions? I think that's just always gonna be the case. I think that's always gonna, that's what causes things to improve, is this constant battle. If everything was groovy and perfect, Nothing we get done. Yeah, it seems like you have to have a struggle. Yeah, there's a dilemma that always has to be addressed, which is dope. It gives you a dope. Yeah, we end on that.

It's dope. Yeah, it's good. Tell everybody about your show. Where can they get it? When can they get it? And tell everybody about your book.

Incredible. Eddie. Yes. And you're following Eddie on Twitter. It's Mr. Eddie Wong and on Instagram. Same thing. Mr. Eddie Wong. Thanks for having me. My brother any time.

All right, we'll see you guys on Friday and I'll see you guys tomorrow night for 20 in Seattle two shows at the more theater.
