Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Adam Friedland Show.

Special guest, Connecticut's favorite son, JP McDade.

Thank you very much.

He's here to, he wants to promote his...

That was a...

I invited you to promote.

He wants to.

He begged and pleaded.

He promoted his comedy.

He gave head to a roadie.

It's funny, I get texts from comics all the time.

And they're like, hey, I'm promoting my special.

If I could come on the show, which anybody can come on the show whenever they want.

But it's like the promoting, it's a given now.

JP McDade live in.

Is there anybody that does

channel?

In Brooklyn, on Stav's channel.

In Brooklyn.

You got it.

Why didn't you do live?

You know, I had this whole justification for it.

And

now I can't remember.

I think it was because I developed a lot of the material in Brooklyn.

Oh, okay.

I was like, hey, my family's from here.

Your team spent a lot of time making that decision.

Yeah, my writing.

You had lawyers.

My writer's room was in Brooklyn that developed the material for this special.

You have a lot of lampoon guys.

A lot of lampoon.

Jewish sexual predators, 97 years old.

Yeah, we're paying them only like $125k a year.

Yeah.

My material.

I wrote on Sanford and Sun.

That's your.

Yeah, and I just basically worked with my choreography coach in Manhattan.

Oh, yeah.

You do a lot of body work.

You use the space a lot in the special.

Yeah, there's a lot of dance.

Yeah.

What's your main influence, hip-hop, or is it like more of a classical Bolshoy ballet kind of thing?

Yeah, no, I first fell in love with Baryshnikov, and then from there it was like Greg Proups.

So then decided to murder him.

That's another guy where it's like...

That's another guy.

It's got to suck to be him now.

Proopes.

What's Proopes up to?

I feel like he's covered in newspapers that have like fecal stains on them.

And he's like, just reading the news.

Just love the fucking news.

I I always quote one thing that he used to do, like on one premium blend or something he did.

Yeah,

Logic Train.

Logic Train.

Yes.

Oh, man.

Awful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And your name sounds like a bunch of people.

Come on the show if he wants.

Yeah.

Greg.

Come on the show.

Does he have a special called Greg Proops, colon, his pants?

Yeah.

That was like Bill Cosby himself.

Yeah.

Greg Proops, his pants.

Greg Proops' pants.

Cosby is out of jail.

Is that right?

Yeah, he's a free man.

Is he doing podcasts or?

He's got to be doing something.

He has to be getting back out there.

He's got to get his life back.

Now that society got that one wrong.

It's more like we need him.

And he was vindicated 100%.

We need his.

A clerical error in the trial made him completely innocent of anything.

Yeah, but it was like a procedural thing, right?

Yeah, was it like they used

evidence from a civil case in his criminal trial, and they weren't supposed to do that.

Nice.

How do you fuck that up?

Yeah, right?

They're completely different cases.

It's not like the, because I would imagine it's like the district attorney's case that fell apart, right?

I think so, yeah.

It seems like day one stuff.

Right, but it's like they don't, it's not like they have those

files in their office.

Right.

It's from a they didn't handle.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, it wasn't turned over to them.

Yeah.

Well, now that he's been vindicated 100%

in the eyes of the law, he's also welcome to come on.

It'd be funny if you want to kill Tony or something.

Yeah.

He's just like getting back out there doing the circuit.

He went on fucking fighter in the kid.

Yeah.

He's doing the pods.

Did anyone ever tell him to pull up his pants?

Damn.

Wow.

Because that seems to be the problem.

Is he kept pulling his pants?

No, he was a through-the-zipper guy.

That's the essence of

it.

He's that inversion of perspectives.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was like, I assaulted so many women, but I never sagged while doing it.

I think he's a bad guy, personally.

JP, you were saying before the show,

Jerry's out.

I'm waiting to see.

I'm waiting to hear the full story.

Yeah.

It'll depend on his next special.

Then I'll reach your verdict.

If I did it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

O.J.

Famously, another criminal that was released.

Or no, he wasn't released.

He was vindicated in the eyes of law.

He moved to Vegas and we would like see him around afterwards.

That rocks.

And he always had

a bag man with him.

He made money, I think, from signing pictures of himself and then his friend would get paid for it.

That might be the next phase of the comedy boom.

It's just like we sell memorabilia.

Comics are just selling autographs at big conventions and stuff.

Yeah, but you need to get your boy to hold the money.

Right.

Do you think people would go to conventions?

I think they will.

I feel like we've exploited the comedy fan base

like maybe too much.

When we were in Melbourne, though, it you me and stav, it was like a comic-con.

There were like Nicks there, there were staves there, there was a Kawhi show, but we did a show.

I mean, yeah, but they were like, there were like gay guys, and they're like, You've always

identified with you.

You're dressed as Kamitsa Nagordon.

I have a small earring, like you, my friend Sayama Figot.

Like, yeah,

they were like, yeah uh adidas tracksuit guys were nick with mustaches

it was uh kind of a little bit shocking i also accidentally stood up to racism on that show if you remember i don't remember there was someone who was talking during the set i remember farting in your face probably 10 times that was that was

i think it was more than 10 times no no i just i kept getting him i would do it i would stand

i would stand i would pretend like i was doing something

and then he would be sitting down and i'd be like oh i gotta there's wires i gotta plug in over here And then just rip one like inches from his face.

Point blank.

Yeah, right.

And then like in GoldenEye, when you're screen looking and players.

Right.

Yeah.

He's about to turn a quarterback.

Papa.

So I would do that.

I would do that.

And then we'd laugh about it.

He'd be like, come on.

And then maybe 15 minutes later, just I'd find a different way.

And I got him every time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like, hey, can you sit with me like in the editing bay real quick and just like look at this one thing?

Yeah.

Just like, hang on, I'm going to get a coffee and just like stand up and whack.

Right.

I was like a a spider with it, dude.

And none of this was recorded.

Ceiling?

No.

No, we weren't doing it.

The best things in life aren't.

It was all for love of the game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A lot of comics, like, you know, they post content of hanging out.

Maybe that's why you stood up to racism because you were gassed.

Yeah.

Well, you just spent.

I couldn't understand what the guy was saying.

You were hit with the truth theorem.

And then I like, I got DMs and stuff, and there was like on Reddit, like, you went

standing up to racism.

High on methane.

Yeah.

Oh, he said, he said the Acler.

Yeah, he was saying the Acler, and I didn't, I could, I didn't.

Little known A-sler.

It was just gibberish to me.

I was like,

I thought it was a heckle.

And the A sler is not the word.

Aboriginals is fine, or can you not say that?

I think you can say that.

L, you can say.

Yeah, Aboriginal, you can say.

The

Y one you can't say.

Aboriginal.

Well, that's the worst one.

But even.

I think in America we're taught Aborigine, and that's also not cool.

Yeah.

That's more like the colloquial.

You can say that like there's the Usted form and the two form.

I think it's the soft A

soft A version.

Yeah, that's a soft.

They can say it to their friends, but we can't.

You have to earn that card.

Yeah, you have to go to the Council of Elders.

Yeah.

Yeah.

On Airs Rock.

Yeah.

Did you see the new Mad Max movie?

The girl one?

Not yet.

I did.

I watched it.

It was good.

Is it on 4K Blu-ray yet?

I watched it.

I rented it in 4K, but I don't know if that's.

Yeah, but you need the Blu-ray because the Blu-ray has the 7.1 sound.

Yes.

Yeah.

Your physical media.

4K is just resolution.

When Apple tells you, oh,

movies in 4K,

that's not the same on your...

Movies that were recorded in 4K.

Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.

I mean, it's delivered in 4K, too.

Yeah.

But you're losing color information.

You're not getting the soundscape.

You know, some of them have the right sound, but still, yeah.

Home media is the.

I have these Simpsons DVDs, and I have nothing to play them on.

Oh, really?

In my life, I have all 10.

I have the first 10 seasons on DVDs.

Yeah, I have like fourth or nine.

I just gave away my PS4 to my friend, and he and he didn't say thank you.

Maybe I'll get it back from Jonah and give it.

I'll do an OJ-style get-back.

You don't

steal my own shit.

I know I have PS5 now, and I know my girlfriend's been yelling at me to get rid of PS4,

but

a courtesy thank you would have been nice, Jonah.

PS4 is is pretty awesome.

I was playing

Batman Arkham Knight on my friend's PS4.

Finished that game.

That's a beautiful game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I never played it.

Is it ever daytime?

Is it ever daytime?

It takes place in one night.

Yeah.

Halloween night.

I love it.

Back when you were allowed to be a boy in a video game.

Yeah, it's all girls now we were talking about.

It makes me so mad.

Are you digitally trans?

No, I just play this.

I play sports.

Nice.

And never the girl team.

You play the WNBA video game?

Absolutely not.

Come on, dude.

Don't make those accusations.

You know, if you delete your save file on that, they're all you can play naked.

All the women are naked.

Nice.

Yeah, yeah.

That was the Laura Croft thing.

You can see her square titties.

There should be a cheat code in the WNBA game where you can play as a man.

Just

cook at Jiwanaman.

The stats are all

max out all your stats, you get Jiwanaman.

Just dunking from the stand.

Judge White Howard.

Yeah, whoever that is.

I watched Corky Romano again recently.

It really holds up.

A re-watch of Corky.

It really holds up.

Well, I was reminded of it because I think someone on Twitter or something shared that Chris Katan claims that Paul Thomas Anderson co-wrote it with him.

Which I don't, like, some people say isn't true, but he's like adamant that Paul Thomas Anderson was the co-writer of Corky Romano.

But I have to say, it really holds up.

He's phenomenal.

It's just, there's absolutely like no, like.

That'd be funny.

You watch Corky Romano, and there's a number of extremely well-placed needle drops, like a Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

It's like, oh shit, maybe he's honest.

Yeah, yeah.

There's like, yeah, like.

It has a beautiful soundtrack.

Yeah, no.

Like, there's nothing to his character other than he's nice and he's just a gay guy.

yeah but uh but no one yeah it's not explainable they never say that he's gay but he's just gay and nice the snl character he would do that was just like a spastic kind of like monkey there was mango and mr peepers yeah mr peepers i get them confused yeah mango was a good bit like mango was a was a human man did he do that in his audition creature like for snl they're like what characters do you have he's like uh how about like a feral

like mongoloid guy who thinks he's a monkey yeah i think he's like perched on the stool eating an apple really fast.

Yeah, right like that.

Yeah, mango is like a diva that famous men would fall in love with.

I'm confused.

I think this is pretty funny.

I'm confusing gay men and monkeys again.

Yeah, yeah, that happens a lot.

Monkey pox is what did it for me.

Yeah, my gay uncle was like, I didn't come from no monkey.

Yeah, he said that to me the other day.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Then why you got monkeypox?

And I was like, it's a terrible stereotype.

My friend JP propagates it.

I tried doing a bit like a lot when they look about the AIDS.

So they said AIDS came from some guy fucking a monkey.

But then like a southern gay guy that's like, man, I didn't come from no damn monkey.

Evolution aspect.

Guys, not really very funny.

Guys,

I got to tell you about something really cool, and it's called Liquid IV.

Have you had it before, Nick?

Yeah, I got it in my bottle right now.

A note to sponsors.

If you send this stuff and it's good, I'm not opening it on the show.

I'm taking it home.

Yeah.

I'm taking it home, and I'm filling my

Yeti

40-something mouth who is not a sponsor.

Just

a sponsor, but whatever.

They don't make fucking water bottles, I'm assuming.

No.

But when they do, we will replace all our water bottles with liquid IV water bottles.

And Nick, what are some of the refreshing summer flavors that you've been getting into?

There's like an ice cream.

Yeah, Popsicle Firecracker, perhaps.

Yeah.

Maybe Rainbow Sherbert.

They got cracker, ice cream.

Yep, exactly.

The cracker.

I definitely have enjoyed the lemon lime and the white peach.

Thank you, JP.

Indeed, all of those flavors hit the spot.

And when you need a transformative hydrating relief all summer long.

I like to indulge in hydration with electrolytes.

I don't know about you guys.

Yeah, yeah.

Essential vitamins, clinically tested nutrients from the number one powered hydration brand in America, Liquid IV.

They should change the name of electrolytes.

Because you learn that as a kid and and you're like, what, like electricity?

And they're like, well, no, not really.

It's more like salt.

And it's like, well, then change the name.

You know?

Sounds cool.

Right.

If it has nothing to do with electricity.

Energy salts.

Yeah, I don't know.

Power sodium.

We talked about our favorite flavors.

We like faster hydration.

Plain water just doesn't fucking do that for me.

Sorry about the cuss during the read.

I like to, you know, if I have a long night out, you know,

hit hit a couple beers.

They are putting that in there now.

What?

I was confused when we first picked them up

whether they wanted it.

Because I know people drink this when they're hungover.

I don't, no, I kind of ad-libbed.

I'm not a hung-over.

Oh, okay.

They said,

talk about personal experiences.

Okay, so I know Peter.

This is one of the things.

So I'm addicted heavily to drugs and alcohol.

And in the mornings, I use liquid IV to indulge in hydration with electrolytes and essential vitamins and clinically tested nutrients.

And

my eyes don't close when I sleep.

So I wake up four or five times a night with my eyes burning and my eyelids are stuck.

I have to physically close them with my hands.

And it's excruciating.

And so I spend most of the day

heavily exhausted and dehydrated.

And Liquid IV.

I think is keeping me alive.

And that's a great personal source for me.

Yeah,

I think I would be dead right now.

Nick's wartime experience is such that he's propped up against a wall all night long with his eyes half closed.

So this isn't alert during the day.

No, I think the muscles that control my eyelids have just atrophied.

Yeah.

Yeah.

From like not blinking.

I went to an eye doctor and they said, yeah, it's like you could

blinking exercises.

I'm like, I'm not even going to do regular exercises.

My grandma had that.

She would sleep with her eyes open.

It was terrifying.

Yeah.

My dog does that too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And my dog also has like Vietnam flashbacks.

But I think all dogs do.

Yeah.

She remembers Da Nang province in her sleep.

Anyway, guys, so these are great.

Some great, if you want to prolong the existential dread and agony of human life,

because your eyes have stopped working, you should use Liquid IV.

You can find all your favorite flavors on their website from acai berry to lemon lime, pina, colada.

They got a whole lot of these things.

And guess what, guys?

They have sugar-free flavors as well, like raspberry, melon, white, peach, green, grape.

I had no idea what acai was.

And I went to a place like,

I was on the road like a year ago or something.

And I needed lunch.

And I went into a place.

It was an acai place.

I thought it was like a grain.

I thought it was a red gelatinous like fruit type thing.

I thought it was like, I thought I was getting like quinoa or something.

Yeah.

And then I just ended up having an ice cream for lunch.

It's basically a smoothie that you have with a spoon.

And I was so, I went in and I was so embarrassed.

I was already in line.

I was up to the plate.

They're like, what do you want?

I'm like, I mean, this is just Baskin' Robbins.

You're really on the spot in those days.

There's sections of the menu.

You have to pick items from each section.

And what do I do?

I was like, do you have a salad?

They were like, no.

Tear, poor, live more.

One stick, 16 ounces of water.

Hydrate better than water alone.

Every culture just have their own type of ice cream when they're all the same.

It started off, they let the Italian people like, oh, we got gelato, we got spumoni.

It's like, no, you've made ice cream.

I'm sorry, but that's

nothing new.

Your big hit, pizza, invented by the Chinese.

Pasta.

Chinese.

Yeah, Marco Colo.

Yeah, Marco Colo invented that bad.

That's true.

Hitting your wife.

Really?

Chinese people invented that?

JP, that's crazy.

There's another thing you keep talking about.

He's just kicking his wife in the face.

You made the pizza wrong.

You made the pizza bad.

So JP, how was your summer?

Truly blessed.

You were blessed?

Pretty nice.

Pretty wonderful.

Really?

It's pretty good.

Got a little traveling in.

Did some dates.

I went zip lining.

Really?

You ever go zip lining?

Yeah.

It's fine.

It's kind of not that exciting.

It's kind of not that exciting, but there's looks way, in concept better than what it actually is.

Which is why I really enjoyed that there was a guy there on the group.

It's like a nature walk through means of zip line through the treetops in like this spot in North Carolina.

And there was one guy on the group who he said it was his 15th time going ziplining.

And he had done several that year.

And he was like all about, he's a zip line guy.

Oh, he was a customer.

Yeah, he was a customer.

Oh, he wasn't.

Was he like working his way up to maybe like...

No, I don't think he had any kind of

aspirations with it he's like he just love of the zip yeah yeah love of the lines it's not as cool as in an action movie when you're trying to get from building to building right there's a lot more safety matches which is really what you think but he's like telling the guides like oh yeah this one this one this tower is pretty high it's probably the highest tower in the state like i've did another one north carolina it was not quite as i watched there's a show i i what i stopped watching him it's called seven little johnstons yeah it's about a dwarf family and they have two dwarf children that are, they're biological kids, and they've adopted three other dwarves.

And so there's seven of them.

And in one of them.

Kind of bigoted.

Yeah.

And that show, the show is great.

It's a great reality show because every episode the dad has some kind of project that he's doing and he's like

not particularly good at making things.

So it's like they go to the junk.

He wanted to make a chair for the living room because they moved into a house that they're going to renovate.

Eventually they just abandon.

They they just leave the house they're making enough money off the show that they just go to a house that doesn't need renovation but the first season they're like all sleeping on the floor of the living room because the house needs all this work so he's like i'm gonna make a chair for the living room so he goes to the junkyard and like

gets like a chair out of a van

screws two by fours out of the bottom of it.

So it's not like he's bad at it for any reason related to being a little person.

No, no, yeah, not that.

He's just a southern guy with too much confidence

he's dispelling the notion that dwarves are good at no he's he's an overconfident southern father yeah and then yeah so it's not make you want yeah yeah well i could build it because it's just under armor polo guy i see oh i see it

it it it culminates with like uh there's one where he decides to remove a tree in the front yard and he sets their truck on fire

the truck just the fire department shows up and then as the credits roll they have another they have a landscaping company doing he's got the winch on the stump he's trying to pull it out yeah overheats the and then yeah exactly and there's leaves underneath and it it yeah it catches on fire and so he uh

he he uh then they have to go buy a new truck and it's them at home and they've whoa we got the new truck and they pretend like that's what the that was the story arc of the episode was getting a new truck and not trying to and then they have a regular landscaping company doing the job while they're looking at the new truck.

That's awesome.

It's very funny, but

there's an episode where they go ziplining, and the small Chinese boy that they've adopted, or he's Korean, sorry.

They're not heavy enough to get to the other side.

No, he's just

crying.

He really doesn't want to do the zipline.

They finally commission him to it, and then he loves it.

But, you know, the ziplines are all in the woods.

Yeah.

And can you imagine just being on like fucking mushrooms in the woods?

Tree elves.

And yeah, just flying.

You're like,

I micro-dosed.

I don't understand how this is happening.

What a sight to behold.

What a beautiful bit of television.

Like, that's like reality TV producers just said, like, why make a sitcom for millions and millions of dollars an episode?

We can just create, we can take a dwarf family and make them into a sitcom family.

Yeah, I mean, like, the first reality show was like cops.

Yeah.

And then after that, Survivor was the next big hit.

And, like, for in the 90s, the late 90s.

Real world and stuff.

Yeah, real world was, that was early days.

game to it it was yeah well there was a lot of game aspects it was always kind of like you know survivor fox had one that i remember watching as a kid it was john cena's first big breakout was uh

before wrestling no it was during wrestling it was his first thing outside of wrestling i think and it was like it was it was it was it was something

like it was like

you were on an island and you had to avoid being like killed by like marine predators basically and John Cena was one it was like American Gladiators but on an island like Legends of the Hidden Temple but they did it on an island the most dangerous game it was like

you're hunted by John Cena sort of like that and then and then after that it's just been 20 years of being like either yeah either people are stupid or they're fat or they're too big or they're too small or they're whores yeah it wouldn't be watching love island with my girlfriend yeah yeah that live up to the hype that seems to be big this season they said was good so we started watching it.

I do like the idea of John Cena not being a wrestler first.

He's just the host of some reality show like that.

Kind of a rogue.

He wasn't the host.

He was like one of the hunters.

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

So he was into the psychologist guy.

A lot of snarling and running around with a paintball gun.

Sure.

Yeah.

That's cool.

That would be fun.

Are comics going on reality shows to bump their careers?

They should.

They should.

People who aren't really comfortable with the city.

There was that guy in D.C., Eric something.

That handsome, mixed-race guy.

Oh, yeah, that guy.

With those like piercing blue eyes, he was on

Real World New Orleans.

Really?

Oh, yeah, that guy.

He was like buff, right?

Well, Theo was on one of the real world seasons before Liberty Constantine Rogue was.

Yeah, yeah.

And now he's interviewing.

Yeah.

Trump.

And I love, too, because he's on the opposite end of the spectrum is Rogan.

You know?

Where like

Rogan will like

try to get to the correct information or whatever, like get technical information out of people.

And then Theo will sit there and be like, so what is a hot air balloon?

I don't understand.

Because

you would think it's cold up in the sky.

They'll take the information and use that to get to a story.

Yeah.

Or something.

Why do they even call it that?

Yeah, we had a guy in our town.

He was a hot air balloon.

He was the mayor.

He was a hot air balloon.

But

how is that different from just a balloon?

Because you want to get it hot, right?

Because that's devil magic.

The devil, he creates fire.

It creates heat that goes into the balloon, makes you know devil balloons fly.

And then the guest is like, I don't know.

I invented the Coke vaccine.

Anyway, thanks for joining us, Professor Cornell West.

Yeah, you know.

Dude, he's got so much charisma with you.

He rocks.

He rocks.

He truly rocks.

Did you see the clip of him describing Coke to Trump?

Yes, that was pretty good.

It's really good.

Yeah.

And he's like, that's hot.

And Trump's like, that's hardcore stuff.

well i've never really tried it it sounds very interesting i really think trump is not lying about that i think he managed to be a

really rich like business new york guy and never actually he's always said he never drank i could kind of see that just his brother died from alcoholism i think it like scared him yeah i think he's afraid of alcohol he's probably hidden at her all is heavy though yeah yeah

I think all finance is.

Oh, yeah, that is.

You were a finance mine guy for a while.

I was a low-level finance guy guy for a little bit.

You were one of the top-level finance guys.

I was one of the market makers.

Yeah.

I got out of that.

I was making too much money.

Did you find any smart money plays?

Yeah, big smart money.

An arbitrage?

Big smart money plays.

Instead, I learned that I could use my debit card instead of my MTA card, and that I would save a dollar a month from buying the new card.

I could just tap in.

Really?

Now I was in operations.

I was very low-level.

I was not making a lot of money.

I love that they got the tap to pay now.

That's kind of nice.

I'll come around on it.

I do the watch.

I used to think of my card as like, oh, this is my membership card to the city.

Now I'm a real New Yorker.

But now it's like, tap the phone.

You ever used a subway token?

My grandpa used to sell subway tokens.

Green Point Avenue.

Like

his own?

He worked for the transit.

Oh, okay.

He worked in the subways.

Did his hearing go?

Yeah, I don't think his hearing was ever good.

He died when I was a baby.

Thank God.

Became friends with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's dad, who was a transit cop.

Really?

Yeah.

And he was a big boy, too.

He was a big fellow.

Al Cinder?

Yep, Mr.

Al Cinder Sr.

Yeah.

Because all their stuff is puns.

I noticed.

They have,

they got Tom Meyers working 24-7.

And

we say Life is Shorts.

Why don't you show him the stuff, Adam?

Right here, we have the shorts.

Yeah, it says Life is Shorts.

These look incredibly comfortable.

I'll try.

And I'll tell you what, I love that green.

It is my favorite color, Hunter Green.

Dark green.

That's why I did the office that way.

Yeah, yeah.

I do love a dark green.

It's kind of like a nice.

It's like 80s home office.

Yeah.

Well, I kind of think of like an Englishman's

like a guy in the 80s who's like, yeah,

he's made the modern, adjusted for inflation a billion dollars with a bachelor's degree in modern dance.

With a with a Macintosh.

Right, yeah.

And then he got out of college and immediately his starting salary adjusted for inflation was $800 million a year to hunt and peck.

And he worked in the mailroom.

Right, to hunt and peck on a typewriter.

On a word processor.

Yeah.

Occasionally hit like command and shift and then a key.

Yeah, right.

And people go, what do you do?

And he goes, I don't know.

I have no idea.

I work for a payroll company.

I don't know.

I drive a sob.

Yeah, right.

That's what I do.

I drive to a building and a sob.

Yeah.

My dad was in World War II, and

I had a bunch of unprotected sex.

Yeah.

And now I have billions of dollars.

Yeah, that office has that dark green.

It has like a nice oriental rug.

If we're still saying that.

Yeah.

I bought a seven-bedroom house for $50,000.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is housing going to get any better?

Probably not, right no it has it kind of has to when the boomers die right all that housing stock they're hanging on to their generation but when they're not gonna die like there's they got another 30 years yeah

they're that's the last generation that's gonna live forever boomers are gonna live to 105 each and then Gen X is they're all gonna start dying at 65

they're all gonna die at the same age and then millennials probably will live to about 42 I think yeah yeah yeah and they're they're all hanging on to their houses that they got for like a coupon, and they're like $2.9 million now.

Are they building?

You know what they should do is put on a set of pair of thieves underwear.

Get out there.

They should do.

If you're a construction worker, I know you're not building houses right now because your genitals in the anus region is too sweaty.

There's a swamp situation.

Summertime, you're saying, oh, I'm too wet.

Your gruntle is holding back the housing.

I'm so wet right now.

I can't build a house.

If you put on pair of thieves underwear with 25% off on their website, if you go now, you can get underwear and you can start building those homes instead of doing whatever this plan is because you're just going to give people money for houses.

You home builders are the gooch of America.

Yeah.

But then when people get those

universal basic incomes, they'll be able to buy homes and special underwear.

Am I an idiot?

That's a bad plan, right?

To just give people money for a down payment.

Didn't they try it somewhere and it didn't work?

Well, it does.

I mean, mean, isn't the basic idea of supply and demand that if you don't have enough houses, if you just give people money, it's just going to drive up the price of the limited houses that there already are.

I think that

makes sense to me.

But I don't know.

I don't know economically.

Because if they're capable of paying more, it's not like they're just going to buy more houses at the same price.

The prices are just going to go up.

Yeah, we just need to build more homes.

And I think you can't do that because

of like, yeah, the boomers that are like they don't they're they don't want to ruin the the aesthetics of their subdivision that was built in the 1970s right the building by adding by adding an identical one right next door there's a strict code from the homeowners association yeah arbor trails yeah yeah yeah if we build these homes we're gonna have to build another chick-fil-a you don't want river oaks to be looking like river pines because that's where the white trash live it really oh my god that is really falling off a cliff yeah they have break-ins now.

River Glenn is nice, though.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you see on the next door app that there are break-ins in River Oaks.

Can you believe it?

It used to be a family neighborhood.

Like, why do you pay for the security to drive around?

I think they just need to rezone all the empty commercial

real estate in New York City for residential.

It is, yeah, that's happening now.

It is.

You can live in the Empire State Building?

No, because the big problem is

the buildings that they would change over to that are all, what are they called, like Class C buildings.

Oh, okay.

And so it's buildings like this.

And a lot of them are like century, a lot of them are over-leveraged, and they're just gonna get, like, the bank is just gonna fucking abandon them probably.

But to convert buildings like this to residential buildings, you basically have to, like,

blow up a column in the middle because you need, like, you can't have residential housing without two points of egress.

In inress, yeah, to like leave if there's a fire.

It's a bird.

Yeah, you need two birds, two mystical burrs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, for all of those buildings, they would have to like make a like an atrium basically.

Because like the Chrysler building is like Art Deco buildings, they're made of stone, they're supported from the outside, whereas all like the new skyscrapers are like a steel structure in the interior, and then like oh, I think it's just a safety thing, is you need to have a way for because they did like pre-code buildings, they didn't need to have that, but then afterwards they did, yeah, because there was no

airflow.

This building has a

there and a stairwell there.

So we're no, it's in the in like individual room like this wouldn't be oh, I see what you're saying.

Yeah, like one apartment.

This would be they would put a hallway in the middle and then you would have a

I would like just an open space or open concept

open concept property bros style kind of racksplashes.

In the Chrysler building.

Oh my god.

Live like Big Daddy.

When I like was a kid, I thought people in New York like lived in the sky.

Yeah.

No one I know lives on the 80th floor of anything.

No, that's because all your friends are like 20-year-olds.

No, well, it's because of Batman.

They hang out with 19-year-old cocaine addicts.

No, they're younger than that.

All of Adam's friends are runaways.

They're Lower East Side runaways.

He's friends with the cast of kids.

Yeah, yeah.

Like the reboot of kids that they're doing now.

Well, I'm just...

I kind of got kicked out of the crew because they found out I couldn't skate.

They were like,

they found out I'm a poser.

didn't have AIDS, you just looked like that.

No, no, no, no.

Well, everyone's lying about their HIV status.

Yeah.

I mean, what are you going to do?

Speaking of lying about HIV statuses, I will be at the H

Irvine Improv.

Yes.

I'll be at the Irvine Improv September.

Human Irvine Disease.

Yeah.

H-I-R-V

Improv

September 19th through the 21st.

There's still plenty of tickets to be sold.

I'm also in Boston at the Wilbur Theater on September 28th.

28th.

Yeah, September 28th.

And yeah, we're trying to, there's a couple tickets left.

That same weekend, I'm going to be in London.

There are still tickets to the fourth show we've booked on the 21st.

That's Saturday night.

Get your tickets.

It's at Bush Hall

in Shepherd's Bush in London.

Bush Hall.

That's a funny name.

Yeah, like

Detroit House of Comedy,

November 16th, I want to say 14th.

Look it up.

Look at my socials.

I'll be in Detroit mid-November.

Come see me.

I love Detroit.

Do you like it?

Well, actually, that's a place where people live in the sky.

Because when they try to revive Detroit post-2008, they have all these old residential skyscrapers.

I think that's where we stay.

I did a show there with Stav, and we stayed in one of those buildings that's like they accidentally invented hotels again, where it was like, it's all airbnbs but it's just in one apartment building that's nothing but airbnbs like this is a hotel but it has no like service of any kind no amenities you just kind of that's cool

they have there's that place the jane hotel in new york that was for for decades uh like i think it i don't know if that building in particular but it probably was it was like they the city had all of these sros they had a show there i think once at the jane yeah yeah that went back when there was still like ports all over lower manhattan and like piers and shipping was coming in and out.

Sailors would need a place to stay when they're on shore leave.

So they had all these SRO buildings, which were just like really tiny rooms.

You could stay there for a nice flop house, basically.

That's what I hope comes back to New York.

And those are zoned their own kind of way.

Like that's why they're kind of hard to get rid of.

I didn't live in what would technically be an SRO, but it was like functionally the same when I lived in Chinatown.

But there was one across the street.

It's like this building was zoned to be a tenement

for four families to live in this one room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And still working around that.

When they when the developers bought the Jane, because they still had like, there was just heroin addicts living in these tiny rooms, they bought most of them out, but some of them they couldn't buy out.

So they just did the work anyways, renovated it, turned it into this kind of like unique sort of fun hotel.

But if you stayed on like one of the floors, there would still be like, drive, motherfucker, I'll move my

fucking shit

gang yeah just lose hey richie you want 60 grand to move out

this is home

i don't even know goddamn goddamn money

just a nut job it's got a certain community that i like right i like

i like the meat packet district yeah i could see the hudson from my room

you can't pay for it if uh

overlooked like that yeah there's a hotel called the maritime Maritime Hotel that I stayed in with my girlfriend one Valentine's Day, but it was the Maritime Shipping Unions

place where

the sailors would go stay.

Yeah, and it's really nice.

They're like porthole windows.

It looks like a ship.

Yeah, the Jane's kind of similar.

All of them are like

ship rooms.

It's like you're on the Titanic.

Yeah.

They really got our number.

Any place.

I watched Titanic

like six months ago, and I think I took some crazy.

And then I was like sitting there.

I'm like should I go on a trip on the Queen Mary 2

I was like should I should I have a European shriek

on a booth alone

I know just thinking I'm like that would be magical

I thought it'd be awesome man you look into it and it's like the pictures are all low res because if you're actually in those rooms everything's like shitty they don't take care of it yeah you know then you pictured yourself like wearing an ascot and like writing a manuscript aboard the ship.

Yeah, it's like two months of you eating like kids' cuisine and fucking going to see

Akash through stand-up in the basement of the ship.

You think of it as like, oh, you're Duck Confi, sir.

Yeah, right.

No.

I'm going to the captain's.

No, it's like the Ikea fucking cafeteria.

Yeah.

there's like a only fans girls and then his wife and the other one that come from uh sex sexual acts of that there's a show that just says whatever all over the back i think the show might be called whatever those are the best shows the shows where like high-value men yell at women yeah those are the we gotta start doing well i can't we really have to start no it's like you know when you see like a clip from like like chinese television and you're like I don't understand I don't know the language.

I don't yeah, I don't understand what's happening.

You're watching the movement, but I'm entranced.

Yeah, I know.

I'm like, well, there's something here, but I don't, yeah.

It's the stakes are high.

Women who have OnlyFans go on this thing and then they yell at them.

Yeah.

And it's, I think, incredibly successful.

You're a depreciation asset.

Yeah.

They're like, you're low value and I'm a high-value man and you're disgusting.

And there's no way that those guys try to get pussy for you.

I own four rental properties.

What are you bringing to me?

Yeah.

This guy adds value to my life.

Airbnb's in Jupiter, Florida.

Yeah, yeah.

And he talks to them like

they're like just absolute slobs.

It's just like, it's pure 1972

misogyny.

It's just like...

Yeah, they don't say cunt or slob, but they're basically saying all the stuff that like Jack Nicholson says about women and, you know,

like carnal knowledge or something.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Which I watched this week also.

That's why you said 1972.

Yes.

But like the way he talks about women.

I remove the dick and balls and add a pussy.

Also a uterus.

Is it as good as it gets?

I think so.

Yeah.

It's pretty good.

You guys are both good impressionists.

We got two on the show today.

Not really.

Well, I mean, you're a couple of people.

This guy does Jesuit.

I can approximately.

You did it on the whatever show.

When you're next to a girl that gets deep.

You were on whatever?

No, it's not on whatever.

Well, yeah, no, yeah, it hasn't been released yet.

So I'm receiving releasing it.

Yeah.

Called

horse.

That's a big show.

That would be cool.

Millions and millions of people watch that.

Yeah, women getting yelled at the show.

Yeah.

Why did we think of that?

I have a show coming out with David Goggins where I make women do push-ups in the mud and tell them that they're low-value.

Does he yell at girls too?

I don't know if he knows a girl.

I think he might just yell at guys, but he's branching out into the yelling at girls.

So you're voting for Trump, you were saying.

Well, since he, you know, since the RFK endorsement.

Yeah.

Couldn't help.

I was holding out on that one.

I don't think I'm voting this time around.

Done.

I don't care.

I'll probably vote.

I'll go because the voting place is literally right down the street.

I don't live in Queens anymore, but if I was still there, I would definitely

go on election day and vote for whatever Chinese guy is running.

Like, there's always whenever in my district.

Oh, when I lived in Chinatown, those ballots were amazing.

Yeah.

Real word salad.

As you go down the ticket, it's just getting crazier and crazier.

It's like a happy success party.

It's like a happy success party sounds good.

You're right.

Yeah.

No, I mean, you get to the last one, and it's like, you know, I mean, there's like a glitch in Pokemon.

It's all just, it looks like a QR.

There was a guy on the ballot in my district in Queens one time who was literally running in the Red Dragon party.

So sick.

This is a gang.

You had to vote for him.

I had too much of a crush on AOC at the time.

It's like, I you're gonna have to vote for you, AOC, because I love you, but I've missed my chance to vote for the Red Dragon.

That's why you're not a high-value man.

Yeah.

You know, like, you get confused.

Well, we officially endorsed Jill Stein here at the Adam Friedman.

Yeah.

The only Jewish candidate running.

Chiropractor.

Now that anti-Semitism has removed all of the other Jewish candidates.

It's scary actually these days.

Jill Stein is the only candidate we can be sure will stand up for Israel.

Yes.

Yeah.

I agree.

Wait, isn't she like anti-Israel?

Isn't she the one?

That's the joke.

I see.

Yes.

Yeah.

I picked up on that.

Yeah, the only candidate.

Yeah, because Donnie T.

Donnie T bends over pretty far for Israel.

RFK, too.

Yeah, but everything Donald Trump does is so cynical that you can't get mad at him for it.

Yeah.

He's like, we should let them open gas chambers and kill all of them.

And then you're like, he's just trying to get money from Jewish people.

From Miriam Addison.

Yeah, he's not even.

He loves Miriam Addison.

Yeah.

Because

he's not even really pro-genocide.

He's as much as he is just like

such a self-serving

keep me out of jail.

Yeah, right, exactly.

You can't, like, that makes sense.

Just at the wailing wall.

Yeah, right.

Somberly.

Whenever he talks about how much he likes the Bible, it's always like...

I love the Bible.

It's just the best.

I'm a deeply religious person.

It's like so clearly not true.

I would love to find out.

He has a deeply nuanced interpretation of the Bible and actually is a very deep

biblical thinker.

Yeah, he doesn't like the book of Matthew, but he likes Job.

I haven't read the New Testament.

Is it any good?

New Testament's all right.

It's all right.

It's kind of the the same thing.

The Old Testament's dumb as shit.

The Catholics don't really use the Bible

very much.

I didn't read the Bible a lot growing up.

What did they make you read?

There was like these little booklet fucking things in the church pews, the Missal.

You'd read little.

I guess it was Bible stories, but.

What's your favorite story from the Bible?

Oh, I just read about a good one the other day.

Good one.

Huh.

Maybe like Jacob and Esau.

Because it was weird.

That's Old Testament, though.

Isaac and Esau.

No, because Jacob and Esau are the brothers.

Isaac is the blind dad.

And he's like, go hunt a fucking calf for me or something, and I'll give you a blessing.

The wrong brother does it.

The smooth boy, the other Esau is hairy.

Jacob is real.

And that's where they said Muslims come from Esau.

Is that right?

I think Ishmael comes from.

Or Ishmael.

Yeah, yeah.

That's cool.

So he felt his son's.

He feels that he, but his son, the smooth son, puts like a lambskin over his hand to feel hairier, and he feels the fur.

He's like, I know you're bullshitting me, but I'll give you the blessing anyway.

So he lies, and then he's still the good guy in the story.

Yeah, for some reason, he still doesn't make any sense.

I just like picturing the guy and like cloaking himself in a

sheep's wool.

Yeah, to be as funny.

I just watched the Northmen.

I don't know.

That reminded me of it because they saw the first one.

It was pretty good.

But I was just shocked that there.

And I saw an article about it because I literally looked it up.

I'm like, how how is it possible that I did not see anyone's penis in this movie?

You know what I mean?

If there's ever been a movie where it's just like,

here's some guys cock,

that's it.

You know,

sticks in Amistad, but not in the Northman?

There's none.

None.

There's fucking none.

How shocking is that?

And those guys have a single story.

It's about a Viking slave.

Yeah.

It's like, is there ever?

Can you imagine a better recipe for seeing somebody's penis

than a Viking slave?

Did you write a review, like an Amazon review?

I did.

Yeah, I wrote a letter.

I wrote an angry letter.

My friend's dad asked him that.

He's like, how do I submit a review?

He thought that he had to mail it in.

It's a button

for

a product on Amazon.

Dear Mr.

Bezos, I have a few points about the Northman, the lack of penises in the Northman, and some dialogue notes about Marvel.

I like the Northman.

I'm

ready to admit that I like The Witch a lot as well.

I haven't seen The Witch.

I always thought there was something missing about it, but I've ended up, I think I've said this before, I've watched The Witch probably 10 times.

And every time I do, it's because I'm like, oh, I want to watch The Witch again.

And every time it ends, I'm like, what did I want that's not in there?

And I can't identify it.

And it's just, oh, I just like this movie.

But upon the 10th viewing, you've come around and you like it.

It's good.

You realize you just like it.

Yeah, I just like it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think it's sometimes I'll confuse like

something ending that I enjoy with me not liking it.

Because you want it to keep going.

Yeah.

It's like my dad and Avatar won.

Yeah.

Yeah.

My dad had to live.

My dad had the Avatar Depression.

Yeah.

He got sad when it was over.

I kind of feel that.

Yeah, yeah.

That world is so sick.

Yeah.

He was like, it's 3D, it's blue.

It's way sicker than this one.

You could do that like Tarzan thing where you slide on trees and stuff.

It's very cool.

How about Avatar?

But there's an accent over the tar part.

And then it's...

Lydia Tar.

Yeah, it's all conjunctive.

Living in a world of blue.

She's blue.

She can talk to Angel.

Harvey Weinstein.

Yeah.

I like it.

Have you seen that movie?

No, but I understand it's like a meditation on power.

It's so good.

It's also kind of just like a one build up to one punchline.

Kind of like Phantom Thread is kind of like that, too, where there's just one punchline at the end.

That's what the whole point of the movie.

We've got a podcast called TAR Talk, and it's two guys from Boston that just discussed the movie.

Welcome back to the show.

TARDS.

Yeah, like they have merch.

Todd Nation.

Yeah.

Ca Todds.

Get your merch at npr.com slash shit.

Slash shit to buy, you fucking idiot.

I saw Long Legs.

That was a piece of shit.

Yeah, that's not a good movie.

And

I'm shocked at

the reaction to it.

It's

about how rock and roll infiltrates the American family and degrades.

Why is that the message?

I don't even think it's about that.

It's just like this devil worshiping.

You thought it was about being too damn tall.

I was hoping it would be.

Yeah.

And it's, by the way, it's never explained why he says I put my long legs on.

Oh, he's not even...

He doesn't even have to.

He's not tall legs.

No.

Yeah.

Very little about his character is explained.

It smacks of like there were budget issues with the movie.

There were problems working with Nick Cage.

And it's like we just kind of slapped this together.

And

he is kind of the best of it.

I felt like completely disengaged almost the entire time.

Yeah, I was trying to find something in it, and it wasn't there.

I should have disengaged.

And then, well, I think what set me off is I watched it and I was like, oh, this is fine.

And then people I saw people saying that this is the new Silence of the Lambs.

It's not even clear.

And I'm like, that is

so directly taken from Silence of Lambs.

Well, of course.

That's what I mean.

It's like,

this is either charitably an homage.

Yeah.

Right.

It's like a new copying movie that I'm like.

Well, it doesn't.

It comes nowhere close.

Plus other tropes, plus other hard tropes, like the pizzicado violin when someone's looking at something disturbing and things like that.

Scary.

Yeah.

Too scary for you.

True Crawley.

I don't like scary.

Silence of the Lambs rocks.

I could watch that movie every day.

I watch it whenever it's on.

Yeah.

That's really good.

Yeah, I have cable, so I just let the TV decide what to put on.

I love that.

It's great.

I love being programmed, too.

Yeah, because then you end up watching stuff that you'll like you just would never think to put on again.

Yeah.

Like watching 45 minutes of Phone Booth, and then you're just hitting

people with Phone Booth references.

They're like, wow, you must really like Phone Booth hard.

Where Forrest Whitaker is like talking to him, and he's like, you know, a guy the other day, he pulled out something we thought was a gun.

We shot him.

Turned out to be a little Bible.

Yeah.

You know, in the original movie, the original script, it was called Toilet.

And it was all about, yeah,

Colin Farrell's in a port-a-potty.

He was taking a shit.

It was Leslie Nielsen first.

It was actually, it was called Speed 3 Toilet.

If one man stops shitting,

a bomb in a school goes off.

Yeah, Keanu Reeves has a very thin turd.

He's like, I'm making my ass as tiny as I can.

Keep bringing me coffee.

If I stop shitting, the bomb will go off.

Yeah.

That's so funny.

I've

got a lot of fun.

It's pretty stupid.

Yeah, it's kind of a paint-by-numbers joke.

Speed three diamonds.

Well,

the thing on the road is for me is that the TV, you have a TV in a hotel, and so I'm just 30-some-odd channel.

But it's going to be a telly over there.

Oh, in the UK?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know where I'm staying.

You're going to have to plug it in a weird way.

Yeah.

The channel is going to be on the left side of the remote instead of the right.

Really?

Volume on the other side.

There's going to be nothing to watch but like period dramas and like bad game shows.

Mr.

Beam.

Improv-based game shows.

I think they have good game shows.

Do they?

I like that.

They have like eight out of ten shows with like comedians.

They're chat shows with comics.

Those are good.

Yeah.

That's like a lane in comedy there where you can like just be like crush it on panel shows.

Sam, Sam is like big on panel shows there now.

Murill?

Yeah, Murillo Murill.

Yeah.

No,

you both looked at me in a way that indicates that it was a different situation.

What if the queen got fucked?

Yeah, no.

I think, and they're always like...

Sam Hyde is big on the chad shows in the UK.

Are they still having riots for like

white people versus Muslim people?

They're arresting.

I don't know if they passed the, did they pass a law that lets them just arrest people for tweets?

or did is it are they just doing it's always been yeah but now they're just doing speech yeah yeah they're they arrested some lady that's like uh

i don't know she tweets about palestine yeah and then

like people i mean it's insane to me i you know i can't i mean i just look at twitter and i said i can't i don't have all of the context but that's what happened you'll see people saying like this is a travest and as an american i'm like well there has to be it's like yeah she tweeted this but she also that one of the tweets we're not seeing, she said, I'm going to kill the queen at 5 p.m.

at this time.

Something where it's like, okay, maybe there's a detail you're leaving out here.

But I don't see that.

And then you see all these people being like, well, then maybe you shouldn't tweet something that'll get you arrested.

And it's like, well, that argument works again.

I could pass a law saying you're not allowed to wear a red shirt.

And then if you get arrested, you say, I should be able to wear a red shirt.

And it's like, well, maybe just don't wear a red shirt.

That's not an argument in favor of the law.

You're just

saying, don't that.

They're just saying smoke.

That's what the law is.

Yeah, right.

Just accept it.

Yeah, I don't know.

That's nuts.

They were the first to really go nuts with the surveillance state.

Yeah.

And like cameras everywhere.

They were the first to wire up all of London with CCTV.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember that.

They knocked it out.

And we don't even do that here.

It's just like Yemeni guys putting security cameras in Bo Degas.

Yeah.

And then the Houthis are kind of responsible for the New York surveillance state.

A lot of people don't realize that.

You ever do that?

You ever go to your corner store and there's like fucking homicide detectives in there?

because they have like CCTV set up.

Yeah, you'll see that where the homicide detectives are just like, go back, go back.

They're looking at the sidewalk.

Yeah, they're like watching the cameras.

They're like, go back again.

I was in an Uber a couple months ago, and the guy had like a like a tablet, like one of those Samsung Galaxy, like, but it's just like a, you know, a newspaper size.

And it was like an active like Zoom call between like 12 guys that were all like, like, I think they're Yemeni guys.

And

they're all like whispering conversation or not even talking to each other.

It was like the Brady bunch, like squares.

And then he gets like a message, like, right away, and then he maximizes

just a camera from, I guess, his friend's Deli.

And it's just two girls buying a vape.

But I assume, like, he was like, yo, check it out.

They're two girls

at my store.

There's girls here.

Tap in.

They're girls.

Yeah, yeah.

So he was just like watching two girls like buying a vape or cigarettes or something.

Just like longing.

Yeah.

Just like, oh, like, how's that?

That rocks.

Yeah, my girlfriend was like, are you fucking seeing this?

So I was telling Nick before, like, I worked at this day job for a couple of years recently where I was like selling equipment to like security system installers.

Oh, really?

And it was guys, like, they set up cameras and shit like that.

And a guy took a shit in our parking lot.

Like, a guy just pulled in at like four o'clock in the morning, took a shit, like right in front of our door.

And but the guys at this place, they knew how to use all the equipment and shit and like track it down.

So we were able to like find it on the security footage, catch this guy in the act.

He used his work van.

So his company name and phone number were on the van.

And like we got in contact with this guy's boss.

It was pretty awesome.

And like we were, I was pissed.

It was pretty great.

And

it was also very funny at the same time.

We like tracked this guy down and got him on the phone.

It was like in a true crime podcast where like you get the actual like suspect on the phone or something.

Like this is what we've been working toward the whole time.

My friend from high school is the man.

I think he was working as the manager of a gas station.

Yeah.

And there was a homeless guy living on the roof.

And they were like, you can't, they were like, you can't let this guy live on the roof.

He's like, what am I?

He's crazy, dude.

I don't want to.

So he's like, dude, can you come down?

And then the guy like spazzed out on him and then ran away.

Yeah.

I think he

assaulted him and then ran away.

And he went to his car the next day, and there was just poop on every single handle of his car.

A targeted attack.

Just from this guy.

It's like, it's like hobo coach.

He's just now has beef with like a hobo.

And you're going to lose every time.

You guys got nothing to lose.

He was trying to be reasonable.

He was like, dude, my boss just, he doesn't want you like living on the roof.

Oh, you boss.

You listen to everybody.

Race war.

Race war.

It's just Charles Manson just

throwing poop at you like a baboon.

Those guys have nothing to lose, so you're going to lose that every time.

You kind of have to offer them a trinket or something if they won't leave if they're on your roof they won't leave you got to offer them something yeah like you you go around with uh like uh doubloons and stuff for homeless people yeah give them a ancient runes ping yeah

toss them some coins maybe a ruby oh my god

i think adamer is that our time

I think that's our time.

Nick is, I think he's going number three right now.

Do you ever use that?

I've never used number three.

I tried to start that in high school.

I was like, guys, we got to start calling Jack and Off number three.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It makes perfect sense.

You really didn't pick.

Guys, start that in your group of friends.

Everyone's going to think you're.

It's available on the website.

Yeah.

Number three merch available.

Go see Nick and Irvine.

Go see me in London.

Go see JP in Detroit.

Thanks a lot for listening, guys.
