The Adam Friedland Show Podcast - Luis J Gomez - Episode 57

Hey guys, cooler temperatures are rolling in and as always Quince is where I'm turning for false staples that actually last from cashmere to denim to boots the quality holds up and the price still blows me away.

Quince has the kind of false staples you'll be wearing non-stop, like super soft 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at just 60 bucks.

Their real denim is durable and it fits right and their real leather jackets bring that clean classic edge without the elevated price tag.

What makes Quince different?

They partner directly with ethical factories and they skip the middleman.

So you'll be getting top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands.

Guys, a lot of people have been asking me what's different about me recently.

I've lied to some of you.

You know, I said I'm going back to the gym.

That's not happening.

I said that, you know, I got a fucking bangs.

That didn't happen either.

What happened is I've been wearing Quince.

And more specifically, I've been wearing their 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

Keep it classic and cool this fall with long-lasting staples from Quince.

All right, welcome to the Adam Friedland Show podcast.

It is June 6th, D-Day, ladies and gentlemen.

75, 78,

70,

a long time ago today

can I try to guess America finally you know what D-Day is I I'm trying to I'm trying to recall what D-Day is oh really yeah yeah it's something to do with World War II it's World War II it was the day America finally said no to fascism in Europe okay did we land on a beach we landed on a beach with the Canadians and the British that's probably a nice nice little time we landed at Omaha Beach really here at Omaha and the other ones are

white sand

gold beach, I think is one of them.

That sounds beautiful.

That was the one, I think that was the one the Canadians stormed, and they got like fucked up, dude.

Yeah.

Yeah, because the Germans, in World War II, the Germans, their best weapon, they had a machine gun that fires.

Still, I think no machine guns fire as fast as that one.

The MG-44.

And, yeah, they got off those boats, and there's like, I mean, it's like a chainsaw that reaches a thousand feet.

And just mowing down Canadians.

Yeah, they had literally the South Park ads.

That's how they came up with the idea.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, but a respect to all of our Lewis is here.

I'm back in the gym, so I'm now also sort of like a veteran-coded social media guy.

I feel like we're both sort of veteran-coded

social media presences.

Yeah.

Whereas we're not really veterans.

And if there is a veteran that exists, we respect all veterans unless they criticize Donald Trump, in which case they're probably stealing valor.

Let's look through all their medicine.

Yeah, they're probably not real veterans if they're criticizing the great Donald Trump.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we'll attack them.

We'll go after them and threaten them and report them to the VA for healthcare fraud and just try to destroy their lives in general.

But we're going to be able to get a lot of people.

Try to get them hooked on drugs.

I give them

the first hit-free.

Like an after-school special.

I'll go to veterans.

I'm like, do you like Trump?

Now I was like, well, here, some heroin.

There's a guy like that.

There's a guy that's gotten popular on Twitter because, or like, he's, he's, he's gained followers since the the current excursion into Gaza

because he's like a former like army ranger who like he just posts videos combat videos and he's like look at everything the IDF is doing wrong and he like criticizes them criticizes the war and stuff and then he earned the ire of like one of these like Trump conservative guys who's very much veteran coded and he starts accusing the guy of like stealing valor and saying oh look he's and then immediately the guy like just immediately stepped in it because the the the first guy just posts his I guess they give you like a report card when you leave the army yeah that's like yeah here's everything you did here's he's like so this is it I have this proof that I'm not lying about any of this.

And he's like, yeah, but look, there's a picture where your badge is crooked.

I don't think an Army guy would do that.

And this guy's like now just doubling down.

He thought he had this guy on a gotcha.

And now he's chasing it to the bitter end.

Meanwhile, he's just like a guy that owns a siding company and has a tribal tattoo.

Like, he's not a

veteran at all.

Yeah, he's just like a grifter that jumps.

I don't really care if people steal Valor.

I don't, I have no issue with it at all.

I used to steal Valor when I was in high school.

Yeah, that's what I mean by this is a veteran-coated.

You're talking to a future U.S.

Army soldier.

Well, I used to work at Hot Topic, and they used to sell at Hot Topic when I was in high school, they sold a Nazi army jacket.

Like, it was a straight-up, it was an Army jacket, and it had a German flag on the shoulder.

Yeah, yeah.

It was just a hot topic or corporate.

And I remember I was like, that jacket's, and I had that jacket.

So it had a swastika.

No, no, not a swastika.

And it had an iron cross.

And no, it had just a German flag.

Yeah, but that's not a Nazi flag.

That's just.

No, that's what it was, though.

I mean, that's what they were going for.

Well, no.

It was the only flag on anything.

You don't remember hot topic?

The Nazis did not use the current German flag.

I know it wasn't literally a Nazi, but I'm just saying the aesthetic of this jacket was Nazi.

It was right after the

Columbine.

That's Deutsche-Philic.

That's Deutsche Phobic.

Deutsche Phoebe.

Yeah, it's Deutsche Philic to say.

To just call all Nazis.

Today, yes, but at the time.

I think the most important thing that people miss during World War II is being very careful to separate anti-Nazism from anti-German

sentiments.

I assume that everyone was for the cause in Germany.

Wasn't Hitler like loved?

He was a beloved character.

He was like a fun guy.

Like people were really into his shit, dude.

He was like Shane Gillis back then.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He could sell out anything, dude.

He was fucking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't really know too much about Hitler, to be honest with you.

Really?

Well, because

he has such an iconic look.

You know, that you see him and you're like, oh, I get it.

You give up.

I know everything about this guy.

The mustache, the haircut, I

What can you possibly tell me about this guy that I can't assume on my own?

I don't really know much about him either.

You're right.

I think he's probably pretty misunderstood.

I bet you he has to be able to do it.

I never said Hitler was misunderstood.

That's not a claim that I made.

That's not what I said.

No, I'm just saying there's probably positive aspects of him, if we're being honest.

Yeah.

Right?

He had his best day.

He had the sweetest thing that he ever did.

The most romantic moment.

There is a criticism of Germans because Germans, there's a German expression for it.

I think it competes.

You probably know this.

From Nuremberg, there's a German expression that means we didn't know.

We had no idea.

Yeah, it's something like that.

Because the defense was we were just doing our jobs for the soldiers, but then for the regular German civilians, it's like we had no idea.

They didn't know what was happening.

If you're a fucking like Berlin urbanite, of course you know what's happening.

But there's guys that were like just making like goat milk in the foothills.

You don't think they knew?

You don't think they're going to be able to do that?

I don't think the illiterate goat milkers knew.

And they're just there and then suddenly there's like American soldiers putting you in jail and you're like, what the fuck is America?

What did I do?

They're like, you killed all the Jews.

And you're like, what are the Jews?

What the fuck are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

I make hot chocolate.

I don't understand why me and my big-titted wife make hot chocolate.

I don't know how to read.

You know what I mean?

It is plausible.

There probably were a few people that caught some strays that were just trying to live their German field life.

I saw a couple of videos on Twitter recently of Israeli civilians maybe being like, maybe we won't win this one.

We'll see.

Based on social media and making videos like, we have no idea.

They're not telling us what's going on over there.

It's like, come on.

This time it's different.

You have the same TikTok we all do.

It's sad.

My algorithm, though, doesn't show me any of it.

I turn away from it.

As soon as they try to show me dying babies, I start just clicking on Conor McGregor's face, cats,

anything to get me away from all the hate.

I just blind myself to that.

No, mine is all, and it's curated.

I edit the videos.

It's all just Gaza footage set the cannibal corpse.

That's all I'm consuming.

I have it playing on the Oculus.

My eyes don't close when I sleep.

Yeah, yeah.

So it's just all of that.

And then I wake up and I come here and I go, who the fuck left Easy Mac out?

Who the fuck ate a half a bite?

Who the fuck eats a couple of bites of an Easy Mac container and leaves it out?

So they left it out?

No, this is hypothetical.

This is where I'm at, though, in my life, though.

I'm like doing keto again.

I'm newly single, so I'm trying to get back in shape.

Yeah.

And I get crazy.

But now I will do that.

Like, I'm like, dude, I really want to try a bite of macaroni and cheese.

So I would take one bite and then just throw it out.

Yeah, I'm back in the gym.

And then an hour later, go into the garbage and start eating it out of the garbage.

I'm doing old man workouts.

I use body wraps.

I go in like a mummy and I'm just completely stiff.

Really?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

What are you doing in the gym?

I get in the squad rack and I do one

max repair.

850 pounds.

I go down an inch and then I come back up and then I'm done.

That's it.

You go home.

And then I just spend the next 45 minutes just mean-mugging people with my flame beanie on while I take off all my wraps.

I'm just covered head to toe.

Sometimes I pass out.

And then I'm just on the floor floor in the gym for hours and hours and hours.

Nobody says anything.

Nobody cares.

You're Nick Mullin.

You're Nick fucking Mullen.

I go in the gym.

They say, hey, give that guy a wide berth.

He knows what he's doing.

He's fucking.

You know who that guy is?

That guy knows what he's doing.

And I'm covered in the German flag.

And I'm like, what?

What?

What's your problem?

It's Germany.

It's a country.

It's a different, yeah, it's a different flag.

Dude, it really was at a time from 97 to 99 at Hot Topic.

It was right after Columbine.

I don't know what year it was, but they would start selling.

It'd be cool to get a job at Hot Topic now, and you're in there and costs your first day.

Customers come in, you're like, yeah, how about this genocide the Jews are doing over.

And they're like, what the fuck are you doing?

And you're like, oh, I misunderstood the title of the store.

I was confused as to what this job was.

I thought you were selling Hot Topics.

Also, you're completely nude.

I'm like, that's another, I thought you would give me a uniform when I came in.

I apologize.

It's my first time.

Do you have water?

I was going to change out the...

We do.

As you can see, we have the five-gallon things, but

the fucking...

We got to swap the...

I forgot this.

We need to swap the fucking.

Can I snap one of those five-gallon jugs and drink it directly from there?

Yeah,

Nick Mullen gym style.

Yeah, dude, dude.

This is a five-gallon.

I go in with it.

This is mullen sucks.

In a wheelbarrow, I have an outdoor propane tank filled with water every time I go to the gym.

That's how I I let my blunts.

I have a full propane tank, and I just fucking.

Oh, thanks, dude.

Dude, he's huge.

Those cups might be.

Those cups might be a little dirty.

This one might be clean.

There might be spiders in them.

Yeah, but you never know, dude.

It's fine.

I don't know.

I think you have to keep it.

Considering some of the freaks they've interviewed on the show, and I think they drink out of that cup.

Oh, really?

That might have Bob Balaban's sperm on it.

Yeah, Tim Dragon.

Just

young, hot, Latino sperm.

When do you think he's going to start Kill Fucking Children?

Is he at that level yet, Tim?

No, I think that he got famous

very quickly, so I think that he's probably afraid to lose it.

So I think it's going to be after he loses it.

I'm telling you, we've got to do a podcast where we just speculate on our more successful friends' careers.

Yeah.

Where we're telling.

Here's what they should do.

We act like we have some kind of insight.

Oh, give them advice.

Yeah, even though we failed.

I asked Shane.

I asked Shane for a million dollars the other day in a very serious way.

He told me how much money he made on just a couple shows.

I was like, oh, dude, can I ask him a million dollars?

And I was like, in a way, I was like, and he was like, no.

And like, for me, hold on, you said in a very serious way.

I said it very, it wasn't I wasn't kidding.

I wasn't saying like, oh, like, tongue-in-cheek, like, oh, give me a million dollars.

But it wasn't like, can you invest a million dollars in this venue?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I said, give me one million dollars.

I'll do with it what I want.

And he was just like, no, straight up, no.

And

like, one million dollars to him is literally like a thousand dollars to me.

Yeah.

And if one of my friends that was in pain came to me and it was just serious, was like, hey, dude, can I get a thousand dollars?

I swear to God, I'd give it to him.

Yeah, but you think about the tax overhead there.

What do you mean?

Well, he would have to do the taxes on that for you.

First of all, they tax him on it and you.

No, it's tax free.

So isn't it tax-free up to like $29 million?

$25,000.

No, Isn't it life-free?

It's an individual, I think, an individual gift from one person.

Per year?

$35,000, yeah.

I think.

I don't know.

You would have to pay something about it.

$29 million over your lifetime, you're allowed to give.

Here's how little money that actually is, right?

If Shane, whose net worth now I think is $800 billion.

I think that's what...

That's not a lot of money anymore.

No, it's really not.

It's not a lot of money.

You can't really do a lot with $800 billion.

What are you going to do?

Become the biggest

on Twitter and make your own spaceship?

Did you see there was a space launch?

There was a spaceship launch yesterday.

They sent three astronauts up in

a Boeing space liner.

Can you imagine the nuts on those guys that get into a Boeing spaceship right now?

How many Boeing's went down?

There's a bunch of them that went down, right?

I think like,

yeah, 12 planes.

We were talking about thousands of people dead.

Yeah.

The majority of them in like Africa and Malaysia.

So like it took like, it took like nine planes going down before people were like, wait a minute.

They even noticed.

8,000 Africans are dead.

Is that bad?

That seems wrong.

And then there was an investigation.

There's whistleblowers that came forward.

And now Boeing is just killing all of the whistleblowers.

Yeah.

They're all dying of like, oh, yeah, he

just died suddenly out of nowhere.

And now they have a spaceship?

Have you ever known anyone that's died suddenly?

I mean, I guess I've known two people in my life that died of brain aneurysms.

I guess that kind of counts as dying suddenly.

But everybody else, it's like there's either a freak accident or cancer.

Yeah, but he got stabbed to death.

That's sudden.

I know it's sudden, but I mean.

That's like very sudden.

It's as sudden as it comes.

I mean, the assassination kind of like, yeah, I don't know.

It was like natural causes.

He was 38 years old to triathlete.

His head exploded naturally.

No, I don't know.

And he was sitting there and he went, ah, like scanners, and it just fucking exploded.

I guess what I'm asking is: do you know anybody that's been assassinated by Hillary Clinton?

No, I don't know.

Don't they have a gun that can give you a heart attack?

A heart attack guy.

Heart attack gun.

Which I would imagine is just a regular gun.

If you pulled out a gun and pointed it, man, I'd go, oh, God.

I'd probably die.

Maybe.

Yeah, you wouldn't even have to pull the trigger.

There's got to be tons of weapons like that.

Like, stop.

I've had too many pizzeria pretzel combos.

I wish, you know, my body can't handle the stress of being

of possibly losing my ridge wallet

into a criminal.

Dude, they're fucking ridge wallet.

Are they your sponsor?

They are.

We have a read for them in 50.

They're awesome now.

Oh, they're great.

We've been working with them for so long.

You guys, too.

Yeah, well, no, they dropped me.

You could just email Sean.

Oh, well, I would complain because I complained about losing multiple Ridge wallets in the slots where the seatbelt goes in in an Uber.

You lose everything in there.

Everything falls into the fucking space in between.

You can't can't blame that.

Yeah, but

the Ridge wallet was designed.

It's like a coin slot.

It's designed in the same shape.

That happens to me in my car all the time because I had just carry way too much shit in my pocket.

The wallet will fall out first in between the chair, and I'm going to god damn it.

I almost got into an extra.

When you're driving, yeah.

Well, I get it and I pull it out and I put it in the center console and then my keys immediately afterwards.

My lighter.

The amount of time that I spend

trying to reach it.

And I'll never just put it all.

And my hand is jammed, and I'm like, dude, I do so much when I drive so dangerously.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

I don't know.

My insurance is.

I've learned how to shift with my anus, so I don't need to.

I just sit in the middle of the car now.

And then if things fall out, they fall out under the seats.

And you drive sticks, so it's just fucking

constantly.

I'm just moving my hips to shift.

It's sort of a Latin style of driving.

Sort of

all that.

Yeah, the Ricky Martin.

You know, you get in there.

I live in Levita Loca.

Yeah, I know.

It's nice.

Fast in the Fur is a Levita Loca.

They should bring Ricky Martin into the Fasting Furious.

Can you imagine that?

It's just the credits end, and there's a bunch of 13-year-old Latino boys just waiting to see

who they're adding to the movie.

He's driving with his left hip.

There's a new guy with his ass on.

There's Ricky Martin.

He's got

the stick up his ass.

Oh, fuck.

Living La Vida Loca.

Can you drive stick?

Yeah.

You can.

Yeah.

You're a fucking man.

I can drive everything, dude.

You're a real man, dude.

I can fly a helicopter.

Woodwork?

Yeah, I can do woodwork.

You can do woodwork.

You can drive stick.

It's weird because, as a kid, especially two, when you get into like adult malehood, is that a word?

Male adulthood.

I remember being like 20, and I'm like, because my dad can do stuff.

He can build stuff.

He's like a master craftsman.

He can build,

he'll have an idea of furniture in his head.

I've seen the guy.

It's crazy.

He can just build, he can hold projects in his head with fucking 500 cuts and just like just, okay, just build it.

I mean, I don't know the first step in building a table.

Like the first, I don't even know

at all.

Do you carve it out of a tree?

Do you have to find a giant tree?

He never showed me any of this.

Yeah.

He never, like, it never.

And I remember being 20, I'm like, well, how do you, like, know, and it's like, oh, you just do it.

You just, like, go out, go buy shit, buy tools, and teach yourself how to do things.

Yeah, I wish I would have learned how to do like that type of shit.

You still can.

It's not hard.

I probably can.

I'm 42 years old.

It's a little late to learn carpentry.

No.

No, just build something.

Start with a small project.

What do you suggest?

Give me the project you think I should build.

A small project.

Something utility.

Not a

homemade sauna.

I don't think that was probably a bad idea on your behalf.

Pete, did you know about this?

He tried to build his own sauna.

I almost burnt his house down.

I didn't try to build my own sauna.

That's not true.

I rented, when I first moved to New Jersey during the pandemic, I rented a house.

It was a little house, and I was like, I remember as I was leaving.

I did not try to build my own sauna.

And then here comes a story in which he

tried to build his own sauna.

No, I was about to leave, and I was like, oh, let me look at the garage.

And then I looked into the garage.

In the back of the garage, there was already a pre,

it was like the beginning of a homemade sauna.

So they already have the foundation.

There's a shed with tools in it.

There's a closet.

A pile of wood.

Yeah, there's a closet.

And I'm like, all it's missing is fire.

We can just start a fire and put rocks on top of it.

And it's a sawdust.

It's already started.

Shit.

Dude, I just start a fire and it loses it.

Oh, fuck.

No, dude, it was already pre-constructed.

And I bought

the heating unit for it, and then the electricity for the

reason they never finished it was because it wasn't wired correctly.

It was 220 or whatever.

Whatever it was, dude.

And I kept on trying.

I kept on just trying to do it.

And I kept on just shutting down the power to my house over and over and over again.

And yeah, but that was it.

It wasn't that bad.

I had a girl who almost fucking burned down my house.

She caught me, she went in like my DMs.

We were dating and she caught me like doing pretty mild shit, by the way, from my standards, like just whatever.

And

yeah, she fucking cut the cord to my refrigerator while it was still plugged in.

Almost killed herself.

She almost killed herself, dude.

That would have been awesome.

I didn't really even care about her that much.

I just come home to a dead chick.

Yeah.

I'm like, oh, this is just an inconvenience to Also, a stupid way.

Like, what is it?

And I drove my keys to the side.

Like, that's your version of that?

It's like, oh, I'm going to make him have to call the landlord.

Yeah.

She's like, well, I mean, I think she thought she was really getting me by cutting off my food supply.

Oh, yeah.

She was like, you fat fuck.

Yeah.

She's just enjoy warm food.

Right.

It's going to be easy, Mac, for you from here on out.

Yeah, are we at Ridge Wallet?

We are not.

We are not at Ridge Wallet promoting time.

Sometimes

we'll rapidly go through stuff, and there's something like, oh, I wanted to touch on that.

And then I forget it.

And then it just derails me.

Because then the next five minutes of conversation, somebody will talk and be like, yeah, right, right, right.

I'm like, what the fuck was that thing?

And then I finally remember it, and it's nothing.

No.

It's never anything good.

I think it had something to do with Nazi Germany.

It's all right.

Yeah.

It's okay.

Nazi Germany.

I feel like

this space.

Have you been to Germany?

No.

Yeah.

I'd like to go.

When we started making enough money to travel and stuff.

Oh, yeah, I guess it's like, yeah, the tax thing.

Because I really wanted to demonstrate this point.

Here's why Shane came to me.

Why he can't just hand me a million dollars.

He can't hand you a million million million million.

He can afford the taxes.

Whatever you're about to say, he can also afford the taxes.

Yeah, but you can't afford the taxes.

He can pay my taxes.

Asking him for a million dollars is actually asking for like $10 million.

Because you need a million right off the bat to pay the CPA, to figure out the taxes of gifting someone a million dollars.

You've got to pay the taxes on it, which is $500,000.

I mean, well, it's like probably $250,000.

So a quarter million.

And that's not a business expensive.

Let me make this clear.

I want a tax-free million.

So whatever that means.

Or you can just win for life.

If he gives me like two grand a week for life, that's also pretty cool.

It does seem a little.

I'm happy for Shane, but the disparity in the amount of money he's making, that seems wrong.

It seems unfair.

He should be making more money than us.

Yeah.

Twice as much offset.

Right, exactly.

I'll give him three times as much.

Three times.

But this level of money that he's making.

No, no, no.

We got to stop it.

If he got shot by like a fucking...

By a Puerto Rican comedian.

Well, some Libyan guy in an airport.

If you give me $1 million tax-free, I'll kill Shane.

I don't have $1 million tax-free.

Tax-free.

I don't have that.

I can't do that.

Well, Shane's going to live and keep on taking off our ticket sales.

No, no.

It's more than the ticket sale.

He's got his hands in other pockets now.

It's crazy, dude.

Yeah.

He's like, yeah, I'm a sponsor.

And people that are rich and so because I sponsor.

I'm sponsored by a hostess now.

They're giving me $800 billion to eat a Twinkie on camera.

I don't even like Twinkies.

Yeah.

He's like, Twinkies are gay, dude.

He spits it out.

Yeah, yeah.

They just gave me a bonus for that.

He threw out his first pitch at a Phillies game.

You know how much they paid him for that?

They paid him for it?

No?

$500 million.

I mean it, dude.

He said, I'm not doing it unless you give me a penny less.

And that's nothing to him.

But it is wild because then you think about Rogan.

Rogan's encroaching on the amount of money that guy has made off podcasting is like,

this is what people make off.

People could catch me, though.

If I was that rich, you could catch me on a day and be like, dude, give me a million tax-free.

I swear to God, I'd start just giving up millions tax-free.

If I was Rogan rich, Rogan rich,

one person per week would get $1 million tax-free.

Yeah.

See, the thing is, I know I'll never be that because, like,

I don't, like, I know I'm not going to be like, I don't want that, but it's also all those guys that continued working.

As soon as as we were making like five thousand dollars a month on come town i was like a quick comedy i'm all i'm not doing shit you ever gonna see

you sort of you just started touring like a year ago you've been touring this whole time oh yeah of course you'd be in theaters right now oh yeah i've been doing well i don't know if i'd be in theaters but i certainly have a lot more money yeah but um yeah i just don't i don't really actually want to do anything i know and then shane's always like just keep going that's what he says he's like you got to just keep going yeah he's like things other things happen to other people and they like they just don't he's like the snow thing happened and he kept going.

If the SNL thing happen to me, well, I guess I would have had to keep going, but like I would have killed myself.

The second I had enough money to not do anything,

you would literally.

That's where my fantasy, I fantasize about retiring.

I fantasize about leaving public life all the time.

So that's the thing.

If I hit it like one of those guys,

then I think I would.

But then I go, well, no, then what gives me the anxiety about public life, I wouldn't really give a fuck about anymore if I had that much money.

If I would genuinely to just buy myself a fucking island, it wouldn't matter.

I think I would just, then it would probably even be more fun to create.

I think being in the middle is like an anxiety-inducing sort of position.

Yeah.

And so hopefully that's an eye-opener and all you fucks that work at the post office or whatever you do.

So you understand how what it's like to be in the middle.

To be in the fucking, in the goddamn middle of comedy.

It sucks, dude.

It sucks, Dick, dude.

You got to build your own sauna.

You got got to fucking burn down your house trying to make your own sauna.

Oh, shit.

It's well, that's the thing.

You think it's enough, right?

If you would have told me,

it is annoying because then these cocksuckers do complain.

They're like, these guys, all they got to do is talk for two hours a week and they get millions of dollars.

And I'm like, Brady, we're in the same boat.

I'm complaining about the other guy that does that that gets billions of dollars.

It's crazy, dude.

Hundreds of billions of dollars.

It's crazy.

It's too much.

It's too much money.

And do something cool with it.

And every time I see the Matt and Shane podcast, I can't even watch it anymore.

It pisses you off.

Shane's got all this fucking money, and then they do the podcast with his fucking, just like in the shittiest living room you've ever seen in your entire life.

Like, I just...

Despite the shitty

shitty

shoes

that doesn't turn on struggling

fireplace,

it looks like a Chinese restaurant.

Oh, fuck.

There's a cat doing this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good for them, though.

I know.

Good guys.

Yeah.

At least it's happening to good guys.

That's the part that grinds my gut.

It pisses you off because they're not even, you wish you could hate them.

Well, yeah, exactly.

It could be like, you know, it should have for bad people.

Yeah, it should be like all the LA comics.

We all love being like, yeah, fuck L.A., they suck.

Rich douchebags.

Yeah, yeah.

And that's like all of our friends who were like, oh, no, maybe they're just talented.

I even caught myself the other day looking at like, you know, Tim, Shane, all these people doing well, Stob doing doing well.

And I'm like,

shouldn't a couple of them be black women?

Like, really work in my own head, just starting, just being like, actually, let's hold on now.

Let's pump the brakes on this.

Yeah.

Perhaps we should change it up, you know, a little bit more.

I mean, why are we also not talking about there being no black people on tires?

There aren't any black people on tires.

I think so.

What about the tires?

Who plays the tires?

It's LeMaire as a tire.

Yeah, who plays the tires?

Fuck.

Yeah, it's funny.

I always thought it was funny that they made the Michelin man white.

Yeah.

Because they probably came up with that mascot back in the 60s, and the first one was just a big pile of shit.

Wait, what do you know about it?

Did they used to dye the tires white?

I think that's what it is.

Fact check that.

I think they dyed the tires white.

I think car tires were white back if you were like a pimp in the 1920s, but I don't think that they were all white.

This is master suit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's something about, I read something about the Michelin man and about his color.

Interesting.

I did.

This is why we're not doing well.

Because this is all of this kind of stuff was conducive to podcasting like fucking 10 years ago when that kind of information would stay in your head.

Yeah.

So then we all started podcasts and you'd be like, you know where D cell batteries come from?

And then the dumbest men in the entire world were like, this guy's like a genius, dude.

It was like, this guy knows everything about everything.

It's like, no, I just read something.

Podcasting was like the Uncle John's bathroom reader for a while.

Like, you just find fun facts and discover things, but now everyone just talks about the same shit.

Yeah.

On every episode.

Man, the phones really killed the bathroom reader industry.

Yeah.

I love the bathroom reader.

Yeah.

Just a shit-covered fucking book sitting in front of your toilet, dude.

Why would it be shit-covered?

That doesn't make any sense.

Well, I mean, shit particles are flying.

Yeah, dude.

When you flush it to other men, and then by that same vein.

so at least.

Your toothbrush.

You're supposed to put your toothbrush into your medicine cabinet because there's shit particles on your toothbrush.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've never read that.

I didn't know you were supposed to do that.

You're supposed to cover the...

You're supposed to close the lid before you flush.

You're supposed to, like...

Yeah, you're not supposed to keep your...

I've seen dogs eat shit out of their own asses.

I think we're being a little too precious with the bathroom thing.

You think that we're freaking out about it?

Actually, the king of England.

Kings.

Of the greatest society of all time, Judeo-Christian England.

In the Judeo-Christian history

of the Western Judeo-West of Christianity, the kings of England, which are known to be the most civilized people of all time, the highest level.

Their thrones would just have a hole cut in it, and they would just shit in there.

They would.

Have you ever

shit into their crown?

They would put it on their head.

What is it?

and this is another like historical fact.

Pete, do you know this one?

It was like the, the, is it pronounced diet or diet, the congressional

not the diet, was the diet, the diet of worms, but that was a conference where they determined something.

But then there was another diet where the floor.

That's what Zach and Miko eats.

Yeah.

The diet of worms.

Yeah, well, that's why the name's funny.

You learn the diet of worms in school and you're like, ha ha, that's a funny name.

But it's that, that was to determine something.

And maybe it is, was just the diet of worms.

But there was another, there was another like congressional meeting in like medieval europe where they brought all of these dignitaries into like a meeting house like this like uh cathedral sort of meeting house and they were on like the third floor and there was so many people there and the table the floor just gave out and immediately under it like three stories below was the cesspit for the which is where all the shit and piss went so all of these rich people just died suffocating and shit and piss yeah and there was one guy.

There was literally one guy who was like, I don't know.

What do they call that?

The aristocrats.

Yeah, right.

Literally.

And then it was like the king of England or something.

It wasn't the king of England, but it was another guy who just kind of like hid in like there was just this stone alcove.

Yeah.

And he got stuck there.

It took forever for them to get like a ladder or like a bridge for him to cross.

He was just like basically hanging on the ledge for hours.

And he's like, oh, please help me.

All of my friends have fallen into the fit.

To the feces.

The fichit.

Yeah, however they said S's back then.

Yeah.

That's wild.

It was called the Aruf Lataine disaster.

Yes.

The Aruf Lataine disaster of 1184.

Yeah.

And tires were white until 1912 when they started dying that the rubber is naturally white.

And tires were white until 1912, the rebirth of the KKK,

which I think was actually 1915.

Actually, the Michelin man kind of looks like he's wearing a KKK hoodie.

Yeah.

It's got a little bit of a point to his head.

Yeah.

Are there not really, there's no black people on tires?

That's interesting.

I only watched three episodes, and I just think that's what I mean.

That must be what the Wall Street Journal meant by the show is a fuck you

to woke comedy.

I can't wait until this stuff is done.

What?

Just even the word, just hearing the word woke.

Well, everyone's going like, oh, the pendulum's swinging back in the other direction.

I don't want to even hear that.

But it's not.

It's literally not.

I don't want to hear it.

Well, I mean,

in what way?

Is it well, they're like, dude,

the woke shit is over, dude.

The comedy's back.

It's like, no, no, no.

Trump has been out of office for four years, and people that are on the left don't feel the pressure like they have to come after comedians and every piece of art.

As soon as Trump is back in office, it's going to get crazy again.

Yeah.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Maybe.

We'll see.

Yeah.

I think people.

I just don't.

Like, I'm just, I'm tired of everything being framed in this way.

It sucks.

There has to be a different conversation to have.

Yeah, no, I could just as easily as a country be fighting over something different.

Yeah, well, the whole woke versus non-woke thing is like so, at this point, it's so old.

It just seems like an old conversation to even have.

It felt dated even when it started.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, what is next, I guess, is the question for America.

Bridge Wallet.

BridgeWallet.

Ridgewallet.com slash T-A-F-S or promo code T A F S and that'll get you free shipping or something or some kind of fucking discount.

I use a Ridge wallet.

Lewis uses one although he seems to lose his in the seat belt cup in the back of a Toyota camera

and it was such an issue for him that he destroyed his relationship with Ridge Wallet over it.

He literally lost the sponsorship.

They're like, dude, stop saying that.

And I was like, dude, it happened like three times.

This is what happens when you spend your entire life using wallet chains.

You don't know how to keep, you know how to hold on to any of your items because you had this device that should be for mentally disabled people because you thought it was cool.

You don't have a leash on your money.

I did have a leash on my wallet.

What was the point of that?

It's like somebody would steal your wallet and then you'd be like, not so fast, pal.

And then they'd beat the fuck out of you with your own chain.

They'd beat you with your own wallet.

Right.

Yeah.

No, I think it was, it was just like fashion.

It was just an accessory.

I think it was.

It was like a bracelet.

There's no point in having a bracelet, right?

Yeah.

It's...

Sorry, Adams texting me a bunch of business stuff.

What business stuff?

Just the show.

Stuff we've got to figure out.

Over the next couple weeks.

Anyways, Ridge Wallet.

Ridge Wallet is...

It's great.

I use it.

I love it.

I got the gold one.

It has the shit where people can't steal your information.

yeah I don't even know how that works the RFID thing I think it's got that the RFID thing they also have luggage now I'm big on the luggage

I was asking them to send it to me but they haven't yeah they know it's really high quality it's great it's good stuff the backpack I've used for

years I love the backpack

Check it out guys just go to ridgewallet.com we got Father's Day coming up that's why they're doing this push on the show they want to push the ridge wallet stuff on on Father's Day and I'm telling you it is a great it

I'm a dad.

Your dad's got a shitty old wallet, you know, and it's filled with.

He's probably got a blockbuster card in there,

you know, and he needs a new wallet.

Get him the Ridge wallet.

It's good.

It's like the perf, it's the size of a credit card, fits in your front or back pocket.

You know, it's got a clip.

They got the money clip belt on there sometimes.

What do you think your grandfather would say if you gave him a Ridge wallet?

The N-word.

He's like, I'm not a fucking.

What is this?

Is this rap music?

Yeah.

Is this rap music?

Yeah.

Ah, shit.

I'm going to do this boob shit.

Ah, fuck.

Those are the good old days.

Anyways, sorry.

Yeah.

Moving on, folks.

What else do we got this week?

Really, I don't know.

I just read war news all the time.

That's it?

That's your whole algorithm?

My sister's cat got caught in a tree yesterday.

Oh, really?

You know what you can't do?

You know who will not come?

The fire department.

The fucking fire department.

Yeah, they don't really do that.

They don't do that.

Yeah, I guess so.

How do you know that?

What?

How do you know that if you ever had...

I would assume that you only know that if you have a cat caught in a tree and you call the fire department and they go, yeah, well, they only do that on cartoons.

Yeah, yeah.

No, you got to get like animal control services or something.

And then they have that noose on the thing and then they just yank the cat down by its neck.

No, they don't do that.

Animal control wouldn't come either.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I had to.

So wait, but my hose, you use the hose.

Yeah, you sprayed out of the tree.

Yeah.

It was a black cat.

So

yeah, I, no, I, I, initially, my niece was like crying, and my aunt called me, and she's like, the cat's caught in the tree.

The cat's just meowing.

It's on my Instagram.

I put it on my Instagram store.

You can watch it after this.

And then I climbed up a ladder and it was a really shaky ladder and I almost fucking fell down.

And then eventually I was like, this is going to happen.

Then I went and read it and they were like,

you're

your kid's gay.

But then I checked to read it about cats in corner trees.

And they were like, you're a family.

Your cat's gay.

You're a f.

And they were like, no, usually just put some food down there.

It may take a few days, but the cat will eventually get hungry enough and thirsty enough that its instincts will kick out.

You're just being dramatic, yeah.

Yeah, but they were like, but if there's inclement weather, then you should be concerned.

And it was going to be fucking wind and rain last night.

So I had to call like a tree pruner.

Saw the branch off?

He literally came with all of his equipment, and he was fucking hanging from the tree at 10 o'clock last night.

An arborist.

Is that what they're called?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think they do tree pruning.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

That was on the side of the truck.

It said tree pruning.

It is a good job.

That's a good job if you like climbing.

That's crazy.

Watching him go, like, trying to get this cat, and the cat's like going on different branches.

It was like when you were watching those like nature is metal videos where like a lion is trying to catch a monkey on the other branch.

Yeah, it was wild to watch.

It's got to be weird to be a cat.

You go up there and you think you're just being a cat, and then you're like, oh, fuck, I'm a thousand feet.

I'm fucked.

I'm a thousand feet in the air.

And I don't know how to get back down.

I mean, I think he could probably climb down backwards.

That's how I would do it.

I just don't think that their instincts work that way.

Yeah.

It's funny, and it's like, this is, it's, it's, it's just, I mean, it's, I don't know, I don't know if you would call it hackneyed because it's

a real sensation you feel.

but like now I am 35, and every time I have to take a shit, I'm like, something's wrong.

Oh, you know?

Oh, yeah, dude.

And now I'm like, I've urinated things.

This fucking happened last week.

I did the podcast with Racine.

Everything's fine.

It's going fine.

And then I suddenly have to take a shit, and I'm like, oh,

yeah.

It's not.

It's like something bad.

Something bad.

Oh, I have AIDS.

I'm panicked.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not I'm pan, like, I'm sure it'll be fine, but it's just the sensation of needing the shit.

It's like fills me with a sense of just impending doom.

Fear and doom.

Yeah,

anything with my body at all.

I should have gone to the bathroom earlier.

If I, uh, like, I have, like, if I smoke a vape now, like weed vape, it makes me feel like I got to pee a little bit.

It's just a thing that, like, has happened in my older age.

Like, and now once I'm done peeing, it always feels like I got to pee a little bit more.

This is something that happened.

My dick never, ever feels right.

It's a nightmare.

Yeah.

And then every time I just assume that I have AIDS.

Yeah.

When did you stop being afraid of AIDS?

I don't think I was ever afraid of AIDS.

Really?

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Why?

The first time I got an AIDS test, I hyperventilated and cried.

No, because I was always.

I was fucking a guy with AIDS.

I was like, I mean, I was on the internet as a teenager.

So, like, and the internet back then was all like very, very much right-wing.

So, like, you know, you'd learn it, like, they also couple drug education with sex education.

You have a health class in sex.

Health class, you're right.

And what do they tell you in health class?

They tell you that drugs are bad, that if you smoke weed, you're going to end up a crack addict.

You know, like that drugs do, they give you brain damage.

You know, weed will give you brain damage, all this stuff.

And then they also tell you that you can get AIDS if you have sex and all of this stuff, and that straight people can get AIDS.

They tell you all of this stuff, and then you leave health class, and then you find out drugs are fine.

Even the guy who taught the health class probably smokes weeds as high high as fuck.

He probably smokes weed.

That's all a lie.

He probably had AIDS.

It was all created by a racist government to come up with these lies to tell you about drugs.

And it's like, but, oh, but the other part of the class, that's true.

And it's like, well, no, none of this is, I just, I'll throw it all out.

I don't believe in any of this.

I stopped being afraid of AIDS when Penn and Teller did a bullshit episode on it.

Oh, really?

Penn and Teller did bullshit on AIDS and they called bullshit on AIDS.

I was like, what?

Yeah, yeah.

And then they were like, they went over like the percentage, the chance, even if you had sex with a a woman who had AIDS, like straight sex.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it was such a small chance to be able to catch it.

I was like, oh, that's it.

No, there was like a concerted effort to, like, that's, that might be why, like, it's very easy to just blame the

like public health authorities for all of this.

But, like, so AIDS was first recognized in gay communities.

And because it was a gay, the marginalized community, the government didn't give a fuck about doing anything about it.

Like, Reagan famously kind of laughed after a phone call from, like, I think it was like Rock Hudson was like, hey, listen, buddy,

we're all dying over here.

All your old Hollywood pals are dying.

Reagan was like,

tough shit, homo.

My wife blew everybody.

That's my AIDS is my wife sucked everyone's cock.

It's God's answer to what you're doing.

Yeah.

So good luck with your, good luck with your butt monkey virus.

The White House won't be helping with anything

and you know and then yeah and then

and then it was branded as like initially they called it grids it was gay related immunodeficiency syndrome and because it was a gay thing there was no like public funding for it or research and then Larry Kramer wrote all those plays and that actually probably benefited him more than anything you know because now he's now he's Mr.

AIDS

but

yeah it was like that that was the problem is it was branded as such.

And so at the time, I feel like in the late 80s, early 90s, the correction wasn't to say, oh, homophobia is wrong.

We should stop being mean to gay people.

It's like, no, we should get people to care about AIDS by branding it as a disease for everybody.

And so then there was that little boy.

There was like a little white boy that got AIDS.

Probably from the church.

I don't know.

He probably was like, oh, it was a blood transfusion.

I'm like, yeah, they transfused his blood all over some guy's cock at church.

That's what I was saying.

He was like a little gay slut.

He was like in gay nightclubs.

Yeah, yeah.

No, it was that Ryan White or whatever.

And then it was like, oh, everyone can get AIDS.

And then they branded it as like an Arab.

I remember that.

I remember that so clearly.

You were a little younger than me.

I remember watching it at the time.

It was a part of our culture.

But then that had the reverse effect where it was like, okay, well, now there's insufficient education going towards younger gay people to tell them like, no, this is very some like very much something to be concerned with and like you know you like you in particular need to use like protection or you know like you should be concerned about AIDS because then it became like an everybody thing when it is something that affects this like one community you know what I mean it would be like if

and I'm I've gotten so much worse at analogies in my life but it would be like if like let's say the world didn't care about handicap people and they don't and then suddenly like we didn't have stairs until the 1980s and they invented stairs and then fucking you know like like Christopher Reeves is like calling his friend Ronald Reagan and being like can you please help me I can't get into my apartment and he's like tough shit that's God's answer to horseback riding that's what you get for riding a horse like a fairy

fancy prince on your horse

Reagan did not like his high balloon horse riding yeah yeah yeah dude Reagan's the best president ever.

Yeah, yeah.

Ride a horse, well, you deserve it.

And then they were like, well, what if we convince people that stairs are a problem for everybody, right?

And then we were like, oh, okay, we should all

fucking be careful about it.

I don't know.

I'm giving up on this analogy.

I like that.

I like the analogy.

I don't know.

But there was like 20 years of them

saying it the wrong way.

And then it took until only, like, it only, I feel like in the last 15 years, they figured out, like, oh, there's a way to say, hey, AIDS mostly affects, like,

gay men, you know, so, like, you guys should use it.

They still do in, like, the commercials.

Like, they do, they throw a fucking Chinese girl in there for some reason, and they'll have, like, they'll have a straight couple being like, we're using prep.

Yeah, they find the right way, the right balance.

But it's like nine or ten gay dudes, like, really.

And

as soon as they did that, it was cured.

Like, literally, as soon as they figured out the right way to, like, brand it, then it was like, oh, a pill that you take, and then you don't have AIDS.

I feel like also the branding for prep should be a little darker than it is.

Did you?

They brand it like it's a Skittles commercial.

Do you know much about RFK Jr.?

No, just his horrifying voice.

Oh, yeah.

I read his book

probably around the time he announced his campaign.

I made the same joke on Rogan, but I was like, I wouldn't listen to his audiobook.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So there I was.

Yeah.

His book is insane.

Yeah.

Have you read?

Do you know anything about that?

I listen to audiobooks.

It's all about.

Do you mind if

I say I read a book?

Does that bother you, considering I only listen to audiobooks?

No.

Some people, it really grinds their gears if you say I read a book.

It doesn't grind my gears.

I'll throw it in somebody's face because it's funny to me.

Be like, what do you mean you read it?

You mean you drove the fucking sheets?

You mean there was noise in your car when you were driving the sheets?

I only listen to audiobooks because I have to do it like passively while I'm driving, while I'm in the steam room or the sauna.

that's kind of what i hate about like movie like now movie culture is a thing letterbox has turned it into is everybody's just i look at maybe it's just because it's it's like it's uh what do you call it when you're looking at something and then you're you're like oh this is everything but maybe it's just from looking at letterbox but like people's like attitudes about movies now are fucking insane what do you mean like it just like like people think they're doing something by watching a movie and thinking about it like being a movie snob.

It's like, no, you're just sitting on your couch, you fucking asshole.

It's like, it's not, it is the most passive.

You're doing what 99% of people do.

Well, it's the most passive form of media possible.

You don't have to construct anything in your head.

You sit there and you're being blasted with sounds and images.

And then you're like, oh, what is this?

Oh, this must mean something.

I'm fucking, I'm using my brain to figure out what this means.

Yeah,

I watched a good movie recently.

What's that?

The Iron Claw.

The Von Eric story.

Yeah, who's in that?

It's the guy from

what the fuck's his name?

Yeah, Zach Efron.

He's great in it.

Yeah.

He was great.

I really liked it.

It's about the Von Eric coast.

You're not a pro wrestling fan, right?

No, but Zach Efron seems like an extremely chill guy.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Yeah.

He's a good-looking dude.

Probably.

He's red now.

He's become very red.

Red?

He's jacked in this movie.

He plays a pro wrestler.

Yeah.

They're all pro wrestlers.

There's the story about the curse for the family.

Like, all the brothers killed themselves.

Like,

three of the five brothers killed themselves.

One of them fucking had a weird accident.

I don't think that's a curse.

I think that's just a bad family.

It's a bad father.

Yeah, yeah.

The curse of having shitty parents.

Yeah, right.

But that's funny that they do that.

They just call it a curse.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You can still kill kill yourself.

That's nice.

Me?

What do you mean?

Yeah, well, because I don't want to kill Mullen.

No, you don't have any kids, though.

People always say that.

They're like, oh, Mullen's going to kill himself.

No, I'm not.

I'm not going to kill myself.

No, I don't think you're going to kill yourself.

You might disappear to the woods or something.

I'm trying to find a way to exit

because now I feel like I'm stuck just complaining.

Nobody likes that.

But then they'll watch.

They like to watch you complain.

I'll just watch this fucking bitch complain.

Fuck this guy.

And I'm like, okay, okay.

I guess I have to do it.

I guess we're stuck in a death spiral together.

No.

Right.

I could see you disappearing one day.

Just like completely, like, just gone.

Like, where'd Mullen go?

Like, we don't know.

That'd be cool.

Yeah.

I'd have to learn another language first.

If you were going to disappear anywhere in the world, where would you go?

The Hudson Valley.

You'd go 30 minutes there north.

Yeah.

Probably.

Probably.

Westchester.

Yeah.

Yeah, probably Fairfield, Connecticut, I think.

Shit.

Disappearing.

Yeah.

Too hiking distance away.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, I don't know.

Probably

like Great Neck or something.

Yeah.

I don't know.

What about you?

Where would you disappear to?

Oh, Jamaica.

You know I would.

Jamaica.

Yeah.

Jamaica.

I've been there 10 times.

Ten times.

Ten times.

What do you get for that?

One of those, the Rasta banana, the big Rasta banana?

The the rise

uh hat with the dreadlocks attached it's crazy that they sell that rosta banana every amusement park has the rosta banana it's like you if you get fucking like 10 swishes in a row or something that's like a prize yeah at every amusement park you trade in for that and that is one of the most racist things i've ever seen yeah the prizes at amusement parks are crazy in general they're the shittiest quality like stuffed animals i remember i i won when i was a kid i need luxury stuffed animals no you first of all soft.

Dude, all of my stuffed animals were like, like the inside of it was like broken apart styrofoam.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

And I won.

Your mom just super glued googly eyes to a couch.

She just handed you a throw pillow, your own throw pillow from the couch.

It was just a fucking, it was a garbage basketball.

It's like, look, it's a bear.

Yeah.

It's your friend, Lewis.

Dude, it was, you know, the game at the carnival where you throw the ball on a wrestling ring and it has to land essentially essentially on a collar?

And then it's like huge prize.

So I won that bear at that.

And then that bear became the bear that I fucked from when I was like nine until I was like 12.

Oh, you fucked a bear.

I fucked that bear.

Is that why you're into MMA now, you think?

Yeah, it was practicing.

Yeah, yeah.

But no, I slit a hole in between its legs, and I used to put my dick...

And I used to grind.

You would come into the bear.

Oh,

I wasn't coming yet.

It was air.

It was like an airsoft gun.

And I would fuck the bear i remember i would pull it out and like the little beads of styrofoam would fall out of it like a cream pie was falling out of it and it was uh that was kind of hot i think that's why i like cream pie porn so much now oh interesting yeah yeah

uh yeah never fucked a bear you didn't fuck your stuffed animals no i never you sort of masturbated i just jacked off yeah you sort of immediately that seems like not as intuitive No, it's intuitive.

It's your hand.

Maybe this is why you can't do like any kind of like physical, like you can't do, do like you have no craftsmanship.

Because you just are like, well, I can't use my hands to do anything.

I can do slightly.

You must have a bear to nod in.

That's cool.

Where'd it go?

It's inside of your hat.

What if it was, dude?

It's right here the whole time.

Oh, damn.

It's inside of your hat.

David Blaine.

You would have shit your fucking pants.

David Blaine did that to me.

What did he do?

He did a card trick and he put a folded-up card under my watch.

Really?

Yeah.

Like, his whole time he's doing it and he's like, actually, why don't you look under your watch?

And I'm like, no fucking way, dude.

It was under my watch.

He folded it up into four and someone slid it under the watch.

Yeah.

There's, I'm, I'm doing Coke magic at Skank Fest this year.

So we did it during the pandemic last year with Shane and Dan Soder and Zach.

And I was doing shitty magic like that on camera on Zoom.

And so we're doing a stage show.

I've hired a magician named Magic Murray,

who's recently was canceled from some magic society because he was giving away tricks.

So

you hire a magician for a Skanks Fest, and it just happens to be the magician that

said the N-word or something.

How is that possible?

Well, no, that's what he would do, is you would write the N-word on a card, and then he would show you, tear it in half.

No, no, he didn't.

It was for giving away tricks on Instagram, like just easy, cheap tricks.

Oh, okay.

So they were like, you can't perform at this club anymore.

That is a big thing.

I remember in the 90s, the masked magician, that was a good idea.

He was getting death threats.

I mean, it was crazy.

That would be like if you did, like, they had the masked comedian special on Fox, and it was just a guy that went up and stole everybody's jokes.

It was a guy that went up and just put a mask.

Yeah, he just went up and did fucking Louis Zach and be like, yeah, Bill Cosby, and he had that cool.

That's funny.

But the masked magician was just giving away the secrets of the sky.

Yeah, there's two kinds of black people, and it's just a white man

wearing the

crazy mask.

No, this guy, he, yeah, he was, for whatever reason, so he's teaching me a stage show.

He's actually doing, he's breaking the rules again.

He's teaching me a stage show, and we're training, and we're going to launch it at Skank Fest.

And essentially, Shane.

You should invent magic fighting.

Magic fight?

What is that?

I don't know.

That's what I mean.

You want me to invent it?

You just came up with the name.

Now I have to fill in the rest of the details.

That's right.

Combine your two interests of sleight of hand magic and mixed martial arts.

Magic fight.

And come up with magic fighting.

You have to hide a quarter in the other man's ass.

You know, that's how magic tricks actually work.

I read a book on how to, like, beyond just just like learning tricks, like how to invent your own illusions and tricks.

And they say, you work backwards.

You come up with the idea and how you want it to look and what you want it to be.

I think that's how literally everything in the world works.

No, magic.

Yeah, okay.

This is how magic works.

I think that you can apply that statement to anything.

It's like, you know, you got to work backwards.

You have an idea for something, there's a problem you want to solve.

And then so you start with the problem being solved and work backwards from there.

A famous magician once told me that practice makes perfect.

Yeah.

It's exclusive to the magic.

Who said that?

David Copperfield?

He was talking about raping young women.

Well,

we were at 55 minutes, but I will literally shit myself if we don't.

I keep doing this.

I have coffee.

It's because since I was like, I'm taking the reins with

the regular episodes, we do it in the morning.

Okay.

And I forget to take a dump.

But the show, I feel like the podcasting has been more fun.

To be able to do it at 9:30, oof.

I like an early morning podcast.

That's the reason fucking all morning shows start at 5 a.m.

because you're fucking delirious.

By the time the day happens,

my anxiety is caught up.

I'm stoned.

I'm really high because I'm smoking weed all day.

I've shit myself completely.

I'm covered in shit particles.

Guys, one last plug.

I'll be in Spokane at Spokane Comedy Club this weekend.

Come out.

I am sure there are a lot of tickets still available.

And then that's it for me until I think late July.

I'm on tour right now.

I'm touring everywhere.

I got Point Pleasant coming up.

I got Dallas, Fort Worth, Los Angeles.

I'm going to Atlanta for the first time, Cleveland, going everywhere.

Just go to Lewisofskanks.com and grab tickets.

It's a brand new hour.

I'm filming a new special in January, it looks like, in England.

So,

yeah, come out and support and check out my other pods.

That sounds fun.

Thanks, guys.

Good night.

Dude, awesome.
