Speaker 0 Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

Speaker 1 The Joe Rogan experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Speaker 1 Good to see you, my friend. It's been too long.
What's up, fool? Good to see you, too. When was the last time I saw you, brother? It was five years ago or something.
Five years ago.

Speaker 1 And I did the show here when you were in LA. Yeah.
At the warehouse. Damn, that's what I miss most about the store:

Speaker 1 you know, traveling dudes. We would meet up.
We'd meet up at the home base. Yes.

Speaker 1 And when I was a young comic, I would see like older comics that I would see on television. They would just come hang out at that bar or the passage.
You just get a refresh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and you pass by and you say, oh, that's

Speaker 1 City O Hall. That's the same Woozler.
OG right there. You know, you're like, what? Right.
I used to see her at Dodger Stadium when I were working at Dodger Stadium. And I would ask her for advice.

Speaker 1 And she was just, you know, like, well, every coverback back then, just keep writing. She was a funny comic.
Yeah. She was a funny comic.
Who's that lady that was on Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Speaker 1 She's very funny, too. Old school comic.
God damn it.

Speaker 1 I'm very embarrassed that I forgot her name. She hasn't done comedy in a long time.
Look that up.

Speaker 1 Yes, Susie Esmond. Oh, Susie Esmond there stand-up? Yes.
Oh, she was great. She was really funny.
I middled for her once in like fucking 1989 or some shit

Speaker 1 Way back in the day.

Speaker 1 Who you middle for? That lady? Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some place on Long Island. I can't.
It might have been like governors or something like that. I do not remember, but I remember she was very nice.
She was very funny, very nice, very encouraging.

Speaker 1 Which is the best, man. When you get to work with somebody that you see on television and you're just like starting out and they're nice to you, that's so valuable.
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 Like when I when I watch it. She is.
susie there she is whoa she looked like elaine from steinfield

Speaker 1 yeah similar but that's the haircut back then huh she yeah well they all have what's crazy everybody lost their mind in the 80s allie lieberman yeah they all they all lost their mind back then because like from the 70s to the 80s nobody knew how to dress they did crazy shit with their hair she's going over her stat

Speaker 1 yeah they would all tease their hair up it was crazy there was like a big hair thing i think it was when people started doing cocaine. That's what I think.

Speaker 1 I think is the 80s was Miami Vice and cocaine. Everybody lost their mind.
They lost their fashion sense. People started wearing wacky clothes.

Speaker 1 Cars started looking like shit. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 Pinto. Bro, cars just started looking like shit.

Speaker 1 I mean, if you want an objective analysis of what happens to a society when they remove marijuana and mushrooms and then they bring in cocaine, it's like, like

Speaker 1 hey, you know what? It's called Ford Fiesta. Yeah.
Because we were Fiesta yesterday.

Speaker 1 But cocaine brought a Sam Kinnison too, though. You have to realize cocaine's done some good.
You think it did a lot of?

Speaker 1 No, no. It's like it's terrible for everybody who does it.

Speaker 1 But I do think that there's moments of inspired creativity from all kinds of substances, especially that rock and roll cocaine that they used to get, where it was like just real pure cocaine.

Speaker 1 It wasn't stepped on, didn't have amphetamines and fentanyl in it, and all kinds of other shit. Good shit.
None of the stuff you buy like in grab wrappers. Iowa.

Speaker 1 And I should say, this is a person who's never tried cocaine. Never? Never.
Never tried cocaine.

Speaker 1 No, I would not lie. Never? No, never.
No, I got real lucky. When I was in high school, I had a buddy of mine, and his cousin started selling it, and he was a great guy.

Speaker 1 And I watched this dude kind of like shrink into himself and lost a ton of weight.

Speaker 1 And him and his girlfriend just, they had this attic apartment, and they would just hang out and do coke and sell coke and they would just like watch tv and do coke and it was wow it was like they got bit by a vampire man it scared the shit out of me i was afraid of cocaine man because when i started stand up like i started stand up like in 94 93 and i opened mic and i was clean i was sober i was a year i was in rehab and i wanted to be a comedian so i went to a library to learn about writing gene perette

Speaker 1 comedy writing step by step another book called How to Write Funny, Be Funny, and

Speaker 1 Make Money, Being Funny. And that was a real great book, bro.
I mean, it had comedy clubs

Speaker 1 locations in the back. Wow.
And it had booker numbers

Speaker 1 to submit your comedy. Yeah, remember the Comedy USA Industry Guide? $100.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you believe that shit? Bro, I remember dudes used to take out full-page ads. That's how you knew they were killing it.

Speaker 1 When a dude would take out a full page ad in the comedy usa industry guy like wow he's got a full page ad

Speaker 1 I remember bro

Speaker 1 when

Speaker 1 we all was looking for gigs in like in 2000 right and I remember this comedian named Shang and Dante comedian Dante

Speaker 1 those guys had a list of a list like a five-page list of comedy bookers names NACA numbers to call and the back of the page was shitty bookers to avoid

Speaker 1 and they used to sell it to the comedy for like 75 bucks wow

Speaker 1 i got lucky that i was in boston and boston had there was that was like the boom happened in boston when like stephen wright got on the tonight show everybody found out about boston but it was already this like crazy community there's a great documentary called when stand-up stood out you had this guy on the show here yeah i've had a few of those guys on the show it was like a Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 1 Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. John Gavin was one of those guys.
Steve Sweeney, Legends. I still say to this day, they're some of the best comics I have ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 I've seen them murder harder than anybody I've ever seen in my life, but it was just very regional, very local, and a lot of it didn't translate nationally for some reason.

Speaker 1 Like Steve Sweeney in Boston in front of a Boston audience is the funniest guy that's ever lived. And I'm not kidding.
I'm not exaggerating. He would get like Boston accents and Boston attitudes.

Speaker 1 It would be all a big part of his act. And dude, it was murderous.
If you had to follow that, you were fucked. You were fucked, man.
And they would do that to dudes from out of town.

Speaker 1 It was the most ruthless, cruel shit they would do at Nick's Comedy Stop. They would take these

Speaker 1 assassins, these local assassins, and stack them one after the other. It would be Kenny Rogerson, Don Gavin, Steve Sweeney.
And then they throw up some headliner.

Speaker 1 And this poor headliner is used to soft acts on the road. He's used to being known for the guy who was on television.
Hey, folks, so I'm Mike, you know, the sitcom.

Speaker 1 And they try to do stand-up, but just they were getting eaten alive. He's talking about nuggets.

Speaker 1 The guys who are up there are all coked out. Oh, yeah, they were working the crowd.
They were wild boys, too. They were big, like, football player-sized, wild, crazy drinkers and partiers.

Speaker 1 And they were funny, man. And so, because there was this like love of comedy in Boston, they had all these comedy nights all over the place where you could make a living.

Speaker 1 So, you could be like a half-assed comedian, like I was, and you know, you can make 500 bucks a week just hustling, just moving around. That's what we all did.

Speaker 1 So, there were so many places that you could work, and so many, like, little booking agents, and like

Speaker 1 western Massachusetts. You'd have to go out there.
Like, you know, like there's these weird towns that are like liberal hideouts. You know what I mean? Like

Speaker 1 Amherst. You'd get like Amherst gigs.
It was weird. Like Amherst, Massachusetts.
The other place that you gotta be from there to pronounce it right. Which one is that?

Speaker 1 The one is that they use it for a steak sauce.

Speaker 1 Oh, Worcester. Worcester.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it looks weird.

Speaker 1 In 2010, I was doing last comic standing there, and I got there there early, and I hung out with a Boston comic. I think his uncle is that com the guy that caught, that was missing in action,

Speaker 1 the Irish gangster. Oh, David Bowser is the comedian.
Yeah, and

Speaker 1 he was, I said, yeah, man, where are you performing? Worcester, sir.

Speaker 1 And then he took the joint. He goes, no, bro, Worcester.
Okay. Thank you for telling me, bro.
Yeah, you don't want to say, hey, Worcester, sir.

Speaker 1 Nice to be here. They would fucking kill you.
They're like, that's where the great Doug Stanhope is from. Yeah, Worcester.
Doug Stanhope started in Worcester. I love him.
He's the best.

Speaker 1 All right, it's February, and by now, 80% of people have probably abandoned their New Year's resolutions. And it makes sense.

I had a first comedy album, the one he did with Roaring or something.

Speaker 1 Oh, the one we did with music in the background? Yeah. That was great.
That's a great album. There was a place like that, a Boston place, but not in a documentary, but Will Durst,

Speaker 1 he's a San Francisco comedian. Sure.
He had a room like that called the Comedy Zoo or the Zoo. Holy City Zoo.
Holy City Zoo.

Speaker 1 And there's a comedian that came out of there that's a killer comic and he's still alive. And he opened for me.
And he opened for Rob Schneider and Papa. And

Speaker 1 he opened up for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 Larry Bubbles Brown. Oh, cool.
And he's an old school guy. After every joke, he goes, Mr.

Speaker 1 Mirror. But

Speaker 1 he did Letterman in 1992. And then he did it again in 2006.

Speaker 1 So he has a record record for doing Letterman between 30 years. Wow.
But he won't comedy that never left San Francisco. There's a few of those guys that got trapped like that.
Yes.

Speaker 1 That were like really good guys. Remember that one guy in Chicago?

Speaker 1 Fuck. What was this? Larry

Speaker 1 Larry Reeb?

Speaker 1 Larry Reeb. Remember Larry Reeb? He was a guy like that.
Like a really solid national act, but he was so Chicago. He kind of stayed around there mostly.

Speaker 1 But he was like, every now and then, you find towns like that. You had like one murderer that lived in the town.
Bob Marley in New England. Yes, oh, Maine.
Bob Marley was the murderer of Maine.

Speaker 1 And Robert Schimmel was Arizona. I love Robert Schimmel.
Yeah, but he was the best. He was the best.
He was such a good guy. But

Speaker 1 he lived in Phoenix, and it was somewhere in that area. I think it was Phoenix.
But for him, it was like it was easier to get around the country that way, and he didn't want to be a part of it.

Speaker 1 He was like one of the first guys that I was like, oh, you could be a big-time comic and not have to leave your state.

Speaker 1 Like, you get to a point where you can live in Oklahoma, like Larry the Cable guy, does probably. Where does he live? He lives in somewhere like Georgia or something like that.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 In the country. Where does he live?

Speaker 1 Is that where he lives, though?

Speaker 1 I don't want to give up his. I'm not trying to dox him.
That's where he was from. He's like on the radio there.
But I think, yeah, he's definitely from there.

Speaker 1 I just don't know if he lives there. We probably shouldn't say where he lives.
But that dude is, he could be anywhere. It doesn't matter.
Like, you could just go anywhere.

Speaker 1 I like to see his face when I go to El Paso Comic Strip and all the dudes you're talking about, they were all there.

Speaker 1 Dude, I remember Josh Wolf showed me a picture that he took when he was on stage, and they were doing, it was like 60,000 people.

Speaker 1 So Larry the Cable guy was doing like 60,000 people. And Josh Wolfe's got his camera and he's like moving around on stage.
Like, that is the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 That crowd is so insane. That's how big that guy got.
Thousand people, man.

Speaker 1 and he was another dude that got hated on for no reason other than his success it was like for some reason everybody couldn't believe that you could say offensive things as a joke in a character all of a sudden and it had so it coincidentally happened at the same time as him getting super huge.

Speaker 1 It's like, you guys are just fucking haters. That's crazy how when they start hating the character, but not not the person.
Well, that's the dice thing. Yeah, right? Just like the guy with that.

Speaker 1 They used to have that puppet in New York. Oh, Otto and George.
Yeah, Greg Giraldo, when I opened for him back in the day, back in Addison Improv, he told me that

Speaker 1 he would say the nastiest shit, that puppet. And this lady

Speaker 1 threw shit at the puppet, but not at Otto. Bro, we were talking about it Tuesday night in the green room.
We were talking about how that puppet was kind of possessed. And I'm not even bullshitting.

Speaker 1 You know, Otto was out there. Otto was out there.
I mean, he was out there. Everybody, I mean, that dude partied.
He went hard. And he was a genius comedian.

Speaker 1 But he would get rides to gigs and say, pull over. I got to check on George.

Speaker 1 And he would, in the fucking side of the highway, he would pull over, pop the trunk, and check on the dummy. Wow, his buddy.

Speaker 1 Weird, man. Weird, man.
Weird. Oh, there he is.
Bro, someone stabbed that dummy once at Dangerfields. Some Puerto Rican guy.
The dummy was saying Puerto Rican jokes to this guy.

Speaker 1 And the guy fucking stabbed the dummy. Stabbed the dummy.
Was it a knife or a sharp bedspring? Knife.

Speaker 1 Or a sharp bed spring, bro. Something, anything.
Whatever you got, that you polished down to a point. You ever watched The Fabulous Miss Measel? What's that?

Speaker 1 The Fabulous Miss Masel is about a female comic growing up in the 50s on Amazon. No.

Speaker 1 Oh, Fabulous Mrs. Meso.
Mrs. Meso.
Oh, she's Mrs. All right.

Speaker 1 I thought you were saying something in Spanish. That's hilarious.
You were seeing Mauci Marciol.

Speaker 1 That's hilarious. I literally thought you were saying.
You're talking about a completely different show. You remember the ventriloquist that did like a one-minute set on her show? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, so like Ventriloquist, now it's like

Speaker 1 it's one of those things like with Carrot Top,

Speaker 1 he's He's like so successful with props that no one does props anymore but when we first started out everybody did props there was like 10 guys on a lineup of 20 guys that have props they bring with them on stage because sometimes it was really funny Rusty Dooley yeah Rusty Dooley was great at it but it's like he owned that for whatever reason because Carrot Top got so big using props he's the only guy that still does it that he kind of owns that and then with Jeff Dunham he got so big at being a ventriloquist that, like, there's no ventriloquist anymore.

Speaker 1 Like, when we were kids, there was always comedy ventriloquists. There was like Willie, Tyler, and Lester.
Remember, there was like a, it was a, it was a fun thing.

Speaker 1 You get the dummy to say fucked up shit, and then you go, I can't believe you could say that in front of these nice people. And then George would be like, fuck these people.

Speaker 1 He would tell everybody suck his cock. It was like, it was crazy.
What's another one? Woody Woody in the hood. Yeah.
But with Otto and George, it was a little different, man, because I think George...

Speaker 1 I think Otto believed that George was alive. I think Otto believed there was something about George that was different than him.
Like he was not Otto and George. He was just Otto.

Speaker 1 And George only existed when George was there. And it seemed like there was something going on with that.
And it might be because he...

Speaker 1 Fucking fried his brain to the point where he was connecting with, you know, all kinds of energy that wasn't even there. You know, he might have been out.
He was out there. He was out there.
But the

Speaker 1 combination. They smoke crack together.
What if they smoke crack together? Yeah, he probably made George smoke it. Yeah.
There's famous auto crack stories.

Speaker 1 That guy was gone, but he was also brilliant.

Speaker 1 Really funny, man. Fucking funny.
And we, in a comics comic, like we would all sit in the back of the room to watch when he was on stage.

Speaker 1 But so there's a lot of those guys that are like real genius, but they're real eccentric.

Speaker 1 And for whatever reason the general public doesn't find out about them there's not like a good vehicle at least back then there wasn't for them to get out to the general public like today i would say an example that is like brian holtzman yes right like brian holtzman we've known forever he's always been a guy we all watched he was always the guy that at the end of the night especially if something fucked up happened like there was a plane crash or if like someone got eaten by a lion

Speaker 1 you mentioned a plane crash because i I was there when he did that joke

Speaker 1 out of the back of the comedy store. He said,

Speaker 1 American Airlines is higher in.

Speaker 1 And then he said,

Speaker 1 I remember who survived that airline. And he said,

Speaker 1 fuck that.

Speaker 1 Everybody says, how come they don't build a plane out of the black box? Or sit me next to the back box? Sit me next to a fucking baby. Baby survived.
Give me hold that baby bitch

Speaker 1 on the way down

Speaker 1 yeah baby survived an airline of the flight one time and he said oh i want to hold that baby i want to hold somebody's baby in an airplane just in case it goes down because if a baby survives i'm going to survive you have to see him say it i don't think we're doing it justice i'm fucking it all up my favorite one was when susan smith got arrested for drowning her kids

Speaker 1 He goes, I heard those were bad kids. I heard they sat that close to the TV.
They didn't put away their blocks. Those kids will not be missed.

Speaker 1 The fun thing about Brian is: if you know him, like in real life, he's like the sweetest guy on earth. He's such a sweetheart of a guy, like super friendly to everybody, loves everybody.

Speaker 1 Like he doesn't even have an enemy. Like Brian Holtzman has no enemies.
He's always sweet and friendly. And then he gets on stage and it's like he becomes like his version of George.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I hung out with Brian Holtzman.

Speaker 1 I hung out with Brian Holtzman and his mom in San Antonio, Antonio, Texas. Oh, wow.
Because we were doing the Latino Laugh Festival. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 And he was the only non-Latino on the show, him and Darren Carter. And, bro, there was all Latinos, bro.
Everybody was getting shit.

Speaker 1 Johnny Sanchez pronounced his name like an American, and somebody yelled out, it's Sanchez, fucker. How did they say it? I don't know.
He said, hello, my name is Johnny Sanchez.

Speaker 1 And then somebody said, no, it's Sanchez with five A's. Sanchez.
Oh, bro. So he got heckled.

Speaker 1 you got heckled for saying it. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

Speaker 1 Bro, it's rough out in those states. And Brian Hoseman was up there.
He said,

Speaker 1 he goes, this is not a comedy show. Close all the doors.

Speaker 1 I goes, Border Patrol is going to come in here and take care of everybody.

Speaker 1 But this is after this is after we were doing this taping, a taping, Mencia shows up, does a guest spot on our taping, and goes long, you know, really long.

Speaker 1 You know, like Jeff Valdez looking around. So then that's when Barry Holston goes up and murders it.
He goes, Man, I got to figure out how to

Speaker 1 this immigration problem, man. We've got a bunch of U-Haul trucks, U-Haul trucks.
We go around to every Home Depot. We got these people.
Yeah, we're hiring, bro.

Speaker 1 there's lots of jobs muchos travajos come on get in the trucks we fucking take these trucks we drop them off in tijuana mexico

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 he would you have to see him say it he starts screaming and shit

Speaker 1 But it's also like he's playing this bizarre psychotic character that only comes out when he's on stage. He's the most different when he's on stage.

Speaker 1 And he's held his job too when he had a job at Trigger. He always had a job.
That was the problem.

Speaker 1 That was the problem.

Speaker 1 He never hit the road. He stuck around the store.
Because I was saying, there's not a path for those guys. Nobody wanted Brian Holsman to open for them.
That's too weird. No.

Speaker 1 But he belonged at the store. And now he's found a crowd at the mothership.
His shows at the mothership, they're all sold out.

Speaker 1 He's hilarious. People come to see him.
And he didn't have a path before. It was like there was like, you know, he's too weird to put on a television show.

Speaker 1 It's like, it's like, you got to, you really want to be in the room. That's what it is.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If anybody is way funnier in the room, it's Brian Holtzman. The discomfort, the weirdness, and the way he works around it when you're in the room is so fun.
And every show's different.

Speaker 1 Every show's different. And he's always talking about new things.
He's like, I mean, it's really like he channels this fucking character. It's like he should be two different people.

Speaker 1 He should be Brian Holtzman, the super nice guy, and then whatever the fuck his name is when he's on stage. It's almost like he needs a second name.
Mitzi should have done that a long time ago.

Speaker 1 Mitzi used to call Joey Fat Baby. Do you remember those days? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Someone has one of the lineups that they got from Jeff Scott and on the lineup. It's got everybody's name and then, you know, 15 minutes and then it says Fat Baby.
Fat Baby.

Speaker 1 She wanted him to be called Fat Baby.

Speaker 1 Weird advice sometimes, man, the managers give you those. Terrible advice.
Can't listen to any of them.

Speaker 1 I know what good advice. i was bummed out one time because you know you have to go back and forth back and forth till they make you a regular

Speaker 1 and i was trying at the laugh factory and one time jamestada he told me i don't see you making it man for another six to eight years oh boy and then when i finally got last covered standing i looked at him and i said you were jamie your advice was full of

Speaker 1 12.

Speaker 1 It took 12, not six. But I was bummed out when he told me that.
I was like bummed out.

Speaker 1 You know, you get bummed out, like, you realize realize you put in all this work, and it's like, you know, you can't be a regular here, so you got to go back to these other rooms.

Speaker 1 I talked to Brad Williams, and he said,

Speaker 1 fuck that advice, bro. You know what he told me? He said, he told me that I should get all the little people I can find in Hollywood.

Speaker 1 All of them, all the little midges, all the little persons, and bring them to the laugh factory. And Jamie said, you can have the biggest little person show in all of Hollywood.

Speaker 1 That was his advice for Brad. So

Speaker 1 I was not feeling so bad after that. Then I talked to Alonzo Bowden, and he told Alonzo Bowden that he should put on shoulder pads

Speaker 1 and be a football comic.

Speaker 1 So, Joe, after hearing that, I don't want to cry anymore. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 He had some terrible advice.

Speaker 1 I think it was he was giving advice. I think it was he was giving this advice to Todd Parker.
He was telling him, it was either Todd Parker or Robbie Prince, two guys that I knew from Boston.

Speaker 1 One of them, he was telling him, I think it's Todd, you've got to be Generation X guy. This is what you're going to be, buddy.
You're going to be Generation X guy.

Speaker 1 So from Generation X, this is how I see the world, buddy.

Speaker 1 Everything was as a

Speaker 1 Generation X guy. And he was like, that's the worst advice I've ever heard in my life.
Like, why would I do that? But people would have schemes for you. But the thing is, they're just trying to help.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But

Speaker 1 no one knows how to do it other than you, and you got to figure it out.

Speaker 1 No one can tell you. Yeah, they're like, I'll date it too.
Like, who would have told Mitch Hedberg, wear sunglasses and sometimes turn your back to the crowd? No one. No one.

Speaker 1 Mitch Hedberg would be killing with his back to the crowd high on heroin. All non-sequiturs for like an hour and a half.
They have stage fright? He was just crazy. You know? Really with him?

Speaker 1 You met him? I met him. I didn't know him well, but I, you know, I knew him enough that it was a bummer when he died.
I remember I was with Stanhope.

Speaker 1 We were filming something, and we found out that he had gangrene. He got admitted to a hospital.
He had gangrene. You're like, yo, gangrene fucking kills people.
Like, this is fucking scary.

Speaker 1 And, you know, he just had a problem. He just liked that heroin.
And he didn't want to stop. Like, people wanted to clean him up.
He did not want to get cleaned up. It's like, I am not interested.

Speaker 1 I did heroin one time, but I didn't show it up. I just smoked it, but I was in Amsterdam.

Speaker 1 Dude, it doesn't seem like anybody has a great old time with the rest of their life once they start doing heroin.

Speaker 1 It's like cocaine. It's the same thing.
It's like, I think there's probably moments of brilliance that have come out of heroin, though.

Speaker 1 I definitely do when I think about 1960s music. I think heroin and LSD affected a lot of rock and roll in the 1960s and cannabis for sure too, and probably mushrooms.
But, you know,

Speaker 1 the thing that it always kills you. Like, everybody always, it always ruins everything.
They all died young. Everybody, like, put Morrison, 27, Hendrix, 27.

Speaker 1 Although there is a wild conspiracy about Hendrix. Yeah.
Yeah. Which you hear.
That he was killed by his manager.

Speaker 1 The conspiracy,

Speaker 1 there was one of his bodyguards, right? Is that what it was, Jamie, that wrote this book? How did he die?

Speaker 1 I think he died of his asphyxiation from throwing up, you know, which is one thing that can happen to people that are doing drugs. But the bodyguard,

Speaker 1 I believe this, don't hold me to this, but I believe the story was Hendrix was going to leave his manager. His manager was mobbed up.
His manager was like a scary guy.

Speaker 1 And his manager is making a lot of money with Hendrix. Hendrix is trying to leave.
And

Speaker 1 he's got the rights to the Hendrix catalog, and he kills Hendrix. So his former roadie.

Speaker 1 So the thing that's compelling about this is shortly after this, his girlfriend

Speaker 1 committed suicide, air quotes, by being thrown off a roof. So they got rid of Hendrix, and they got rid of his girlfriend, if that's what really happened.

Speaker 1 So he was the benefactor allegedly of the guitarist's $2 million life insurance policy.

Speaker 1 $2 million.

Speaker 1 Okay, worth around $1.2 million in 1970.

Speaker 1 According to Wright, Jeffrey told him about the crime in 1971, a year after the 27-year-old Hendrix was found dead in a London hotel. He said, I had to do it, Tappy.

Speaker 1 Wright claims the manager said, You understand, don't you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 We went round to his hotel room, got a handful of pills, stuffed them into his mouth, then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.

Speaker 1 Hendrix was found dead at the Samarkond Hotel on 18th of September 1970. The cause of death was recorded as barbituate intoxication and inhalation of vomit.

Speaker 1 I can still hear the conversation, Wright wrote of Jeffrey's confession. See the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage.

Speaker 1 Hendrix's manager died in a plane crash in 73. So this guy's dead that supposedly did this.
Listen, man, they did that back then. They were gangsters.
There was gangsters running everything.

Speaker 1 If there was a lot of money to be made,

Speaker 1 scary people moved in and it became a real problem. Yeah, man, gangsters own a lot of stuff that a lot of people wouldn't want to own, like a gay club.
Uh-huh. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like in LA, they own all the gay clubs. They were not raided because they were paying.

Speaker 1 But if you want to talk about something like that, like would would

Speaker 1 would a manager kill a client for a life insurance policy back then? Yeah, I read they didn't even have DNA back then, man. I read this where I didn't think

Speaker 1 it's like crazy, right? My mom didn't like Elvis. She liked the Beatles, right? And I asked my mom, how come you don't like fucking Alves? He's badass, too.

Speaker 1 Oh, because Alvis said that I'd rather sleep with have kids a dollar than a Mexican woman.

Speaker 1 And I said, when did he say that? And he goes, he said it. Then I found out later on when I went in a rabbit hole,

Speaker 1 it was a colonel. The colonel spread that.
The colonel spread that. Because

Speaker 1 he wanted to keep him in America and not tour anywhere. The Colonel was an evil dude, man.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, that Tom Hanks performance is fucking fantastic. And that Elvis movie where he plays the Colonel.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, when you see it, like, you appreciate how a guy can really become a different person. Like, he becomes this creepy manager guy, this manipulative, gambling, creepy manager guy.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's fucking genius, man. It's so good.
Like, you really,

Speaker 1 that's what's crazy. Like, you forget that's Tom Hanks.
You're like, oh, but you really got a sense of the relationship that Elvis had with this dude.

Speaker 1 Because those guys that get crazy. Look, there's famous, and then there's Elvis famous in the 1960s, and you don't even understand what that means.
No one understands what that means.

Speaker 1 And he was the first one to be like that. Imagine that.
I know, man. Imagine walking into a room and you just go, you want a kiss? And they kiss.

Speaker 1 But just imagine just trying to navigate life as a human being, and you're literally the most desired person to be around alive. Like you can't walk down the street.

Speaker 1 People scream and they cheer and they run at you. Women faint, they cry.
And there's never been someone like that before.

Speaker 1 That's what's crazy because this is the first time you've seen a guy on television and he's on television shaking his hips. And so they go crazy.
No one's ever done that, huh? No.

Speaker 1 No, you never had a pop star on TV shaking his hips like he's fucking

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's too too much did they cover it up the first time I think

Speaker 1 they did something where they were upset at him because they didn't know he was gonna do it I think it was like I think he was actually gonna get fined in some places like you weren't allowed to shake your hips like that like this is how crazy being Elvis was badass there's this one video or picture of Elvis that I like besides the one you have here you know the rest it

Speaker 1 when he's um he's playing outside an outside event and he's wearing all black and he's fucking young as hell, and the papador is looking good, the blue eyes are shining, he's like, bro.

Speaker 1 And everybody's fainting. And there was no Elvis before Elvis.
That's what's crazy. So he's like this one guy that becomes way more famous than any entertainer ever.

Speaker 1 And then he's got an evil manager. And then he's doing pills.
And then he's just living in paranoia. And the whole world don't make any sense.
Nothing makes any sense. It can't make any sense.

Speaker 1 You have no peers. You have no one around you that's like you.
no one around you that can understand you. And you're being protected by some guy who's like siphoning money from you.

Speaker 1 He was doing shit little gigs, right? Like who

Speaker 1 do like a two-hour show and then leave, go do another two-hour show somewhere else? Well, I think he got into a financial bind, right?

Speaker 1 Wasn't that a part of the movie? And then he got that Vegas residency.

Speaker 1 Bro, the Vegas residency is probably convenient because you don't have to go anywhere. You know, you know where you live, you know where the gig is.

Speaker 1 Like, Caratop seems to like it, but I don't think I could do that. But if you're a musician, though, like Alvis, it's great.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
But even, like, comics can do it. A lot of comics do it.

Speaker 1 You know, it's, I just don't know about living in Vegas. I lose my mind being in the same place seven days a week, 14 shows.
The people that live outside of Vegas love it, though.

Speaker 1 If you live, like, in like Henderson or some of those places, like, they're very, very nice places. But you're still connected to this place where people go to get psychotic.

Speaker 1 Like, you know, there's some weird energy about that. I listen, this is not a knock on Vegas.
I love Vegas. Look, I love New York City.
Ari fucking loves living in New York City.

Speaker 1 I can't live in New York City. I can't handle all that.

Speaker 1 I got to get the fuck away. Some people love it.

Speaker 1 Everybody can love everything, but it just seems like

Speaker 1 that it's like Vegas is a uniquely crazy place. People go there specifically like, we're going to go to Vegas.

Speaker 1 It's like it's in the title of the state means craziness you went Vegas every every day probably like 50,000 people show up It's every day and then you got rodeos coming into town and UFC fights coming into town and fucking concerts radio fans

Speaker 1 It's a fucking wild ass town. I I love being there.
I just don't know if I could live there. I just it seems like it's almost a little too crazy.

Speaker 1 So this is Ed Sullivan show 1956. This is the only time this is the first time his hips show up on the screen.
It's 10 minutes into this. Yeah, he was wiggling his dick too much.

Speaker 1 That's all he was doing, though. That's a lot, Jamie.
What do you mean? That's all he was doing. That's offensive.
After this aired, they said they wouldn't air him from the waist down anymore.

Speaker 1 Isn't that crazy? But they obviously

Speaker 1 barely shown. It's so crazy.
Bro, he probably had it. Look, his big old dick keeps slapping at his jacket.
That's what it is. Look, if you see that side, back it up a little bit.

Speaker 1 That's what the problem is, Jamie. Look at that jacket popping up and down from his big old elbow.
Look at at it. He's hitting a stimble with it.
Bro,

Speaker 1 he's making his jacket pop with his dick. I'm with the sensors.
I'm with the sensors. Of course, he had a big dick.
He had everything. He had everything.
He had voice, talent, beautiful.

Speaker 1 You think he's going to have a little dick? Hello?

Speaker 1 All those gifts? How tall is he? I don't know. He's probably six feet tall.
He's 10 years old there. 2010.
Man,

Speaker 1 how can you manage that? How can you navigate that at 21 years old? It's him. No, man.
Bro, it's him and Michael Jackson. These are the two case studies and people that got too famous.

Speaker 1 But sometimes I wonder, man, like, how would I handle that much success at that early age? Bro, you wouldn't. No, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't. You would go crazy.

Speaker 1 How about you? Crazy. I would have gone crazy.
I would have been seen with a big fucking cold sore. Yeah, dude, I got lucky.
My fame ascent was a slow drip, you know, like over time. Oh, bro.

Speaker 1 It was a slow drip. Mine was like that little mountain guy on

Speaker 1 the price is right. Keek, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, and then stopping along the way.
Bunch of haters.

Speaker 1 Keeky, kikiki, kiki. Fighting with all the comics.

Speaker 1 Coke here. Yeah.
Hang around at El Compadres. Too long with Joey Diaz.

Speaker 1 El Compadres is a spot. 64 years ago today, more than 60 million people watched Elvis Presley perform on the Ed Sullivan show.

Speaker 1 Wow. 60 million.
That's so crazy. But that's how it used to be, man.
And that's why losing control of that is so devastating to mainstream media. That was what it was.

Speaker 1 When I was a kid, there was three channels, dude. There was NBC, ABC, and CBS, and that was it.
And then all of a sudden, there was Fox, and we were crazy.

Speaker 1 We got a whole nother channel. Did you have local channels too, though, in your neighborhood? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We definitely did. Especially, yeah, we all had everyone has local channels.

Speaker 1 So, you always had like the local NBC network, which you need though. Somebody got to pick karate movies.
Yeah, we didn't even have cable. Like, it didn't exist.

Speaker 1 We had like you have to realize how nuts the world was when everything you watched on television was just television. That's all you ever saw.
Like there's no cable. So you have four channels.

Speaker 1 And you felt so lucky to have that fourth channel. You got Simpsons, married with children, came on that channel.
Fox changed the whole.

Speaker 1 In living color, changed the whole feeling of what a channel was. It's crazy that Fox is now connected to like conservative Republicans reporting the news.

Speaker 1 But it's like Fox, when we were kids, was married with children. Children.
It was, you know, it was like the Renegade shows. It was The Simpsons.

Speaker 1 It was, you know, there was a bunch of like fun shows that were on the show. Fun shows, man.

Speaker 1 Living single. Yeah, but In Living Color, to this day, I say, is one of

Speaker 1 there's two of the greatest comic. Like, Saturday night always gets it for longevity because it's crazy.
They've been around so long. ACTV.

Speaker 1 But for like pure funny, for me, it's like In Living Color and Chappelle Show. And I feel like you don't get Chappelle Show unless you have In Living Color first.

Speaker 1 I feel like In Living Color broke open the door for chaotic sketches that were like really funny, man. Wildly offensive.
Really fun. I mean, to this day, like there's a lot of shit on...

Speaker 1 In Living Color that if you tried to do like in the height of wokeness like three or four years ago, bro, they would fucking call for your censorship. Yeah,

Speaker 1 they will come for you. Especially when Devon Williams and Devon and Guerrier were doing men on film.
There's an episode where

Speaker 1 fucking the camera falls.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the camera falls on Damon Wayan and he becomes heterosexual all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 And then David Lenguillo starts touching him. He goes, Man, get your life away from me, man.

Speaker 1 That episode. How about when he played Handyman? He played a mentally retarded.
I love that. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 That's my favorite movie. Yeah, a handicapped superhero.

Speaker 1 It was. And he made a superhero movie about him.
Handyman.

Speaker 1 He would fly like this.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 this show was

Speaker 1 wildly offensive, but so funny. Even Fire Marshal Bill, bro, making fun of a fire victim.
I was just going to bring that up. Let me tell you something.
That guy's fucking whole face is burned off.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ. My daughter's a burn victim, by the way.

Speaker 1 That's harsh, bro. That's what you'll get.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 wild that shows like

Speaker 1 ahead of his time. Oh, way ahead.
Well, so was that other movie. We were just talking about that.
Ace Ventura. Ace Ventura.
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 1 When you find out that she's a trans person and the dick comes out and everybody starts throwing up.

Speaker 1 First of all, I don't buy it. Even if she had it.
Turn to that photo again.

Speaker 1 That's Sean Young, right? That's Sean Young, yeah. Yeah, when she was hot.

Speaker 1 So even if she had a dick, there's a lot of guys who'd be like, listen, nobody needs to know about that dick. Nobody needs to know about that, man.
That dick is between you and me.

Speaker 1 And I can't tell you what that is. I remember one time that happened to me, bro.
I just looked at it and go, wow, that's a big-ass skin tag you got right there.

Speaker 1 Skin tag.

Speaker 1 Whoo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all those shows, like, I mean, what are the other great sketch shows?

Speaker 1 Mad TV had some bangers. Mad TV.
There were some bangers on Mad TV but it's another show second stid of TV

Speaker 1 kids in the hall kids in the hall kids in the hall kids in the hall was fantastic that was great you know um I was a kids in the hall fan but I didn't really start watching it like really get into it until after I'd met Dave like I didn't know much about kids in the hall i knew it was funny i knew everybody said it was funny but i don't think i'd ever even watched a sketch and then i became friends with dave doing news radio and then i started really getting into it.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, this is that guy had a very unique or still does have a very, very unique sense of humor. He rewrote like,

Speaker 1 I don't know what percentage, 40% of like the lines on news radio, like on the set. He rewrites things all the time.
And he was always like coming up with a better way to do something.

Speaker 1 It always had like a sense of like a pacing.

Speaker 1 That's a totally different thing, man, when you're making sketches. Like sketches are a total, like to be able to do that and do a lot of, like, really funny scenarios that are unique, that's a very.

Speaker 1 It's hard, right? The stand-up, because we want to end it, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, it's a totally different way of thinking.
You know, Gillian Keeves is another fantastic one.

Speaker 1 That to this day, like, the problem with that show is, like, it's got this amazing fan core fan base, but it doesn't, it's way funnier than the amount of people that have seen it.

Speaker 1 It's way funnier, which is crazy because Shane Gillis is is one of the biggest comics in the world. Yes.
He's funny as hell. He's one of the biggest comics on earth.

Speaker 1 He's selling out arenas everywhere. Yes.
But yet, people don't realize how good Gillian Keyes is. It's like, there's a one where they do the OnlyFans dad.

Speaker 1 It's one of the hardest I've ever laughed in my fucking life. It's so funny.
It's so funny and so crazy. And because no one's telling them what to do, they're just doing what's funny.

Speaker 1 And that's what got fucked up. There were so many fucking nannies around everybody telling everybody what you can and can't say, and so many subjects you can and can't cover.

Speaker 1 Like, you got to stay out of the way. Just like the managers in the early days, they're telling you, Billy Paine, you need braids.

Speaker 1 Braids, bro, with beads, and you talk about the beads when you're on stage. You're like, what? You didn't wear a suit.
Shut the fuck up. Get out of here.
I remember one time, bro.

Speaker 1 They told me to wear a suit, and I wear it, and I saw Joe Deere wearing a suit. And I said, bro, you look ridiculous, huh?

Speaker 1 Because Joe Deere was wearing a beanie. I remember I called him the Coca-Cola bear.
He got mad.

Speaker 1 Suits are a weird move, but they're sometimes fun. I've worn suits on stage before.
It makes you feel different. It does.
Do you feel like you're going to change your posture?

Speaker 1 No, you just feel like

Speaker 1 more of a motherfucking professional.

Speaker 1 Bitch. Look at this.
And a Wells tailored suit is what you really want. The kind, like modern suits, you can move in them.
Like they have like stretch to them, which is different than, you know,

Speaker 1 when I was a kid and I thought of suits. I thought of like, you're handcuffed, like you can't move good.
Yeah. Like you can't kick someone with fucking suit pants on.
You know, you can't move well.

Speaker 1 No, look, all those, I always see Johnny Carson in his suits. Yeah.
Those suits look tight as hell. Well, it's just they, the fabrics suck back then.

Speaker 1 Especially if you're a bigger person, you know, if you lift weights or something like that, if you have muscles,

Speaker 1 everything's going to be constricted and tight and all fucked up. It's not going to fit good.

Speaker 1 So suits now, if you get a good one, like I got mine made by uh david august they do him for the ufc and yeah i've had him make a bunch of suits for me they're they're amazing they they do it to your actual shape so everything's perfect you i mean i don't want to make fun of the other guys but you're what you're announcing you know you you're a big muscle guy but it doesn't look like you're coming out of that suit when you wear it looks real good on you yeah it's because they make it to your shape you know so it's really fox force man they're about to just come out of they look like fucking orangutans bro they're like like fuck mr hyde

Speaker 1 well you know a lot of those dudes are bigger than me anyway

Speaker 1 there's a certain size that you get like if you put the rock in a suit it still looks ridiculous it's like what the fuck are you made out of dude

Speaker 1 first time i met him backstage at the ufc and he had cowboy boots on right so he's it's cowboy boots yeah he don't even seem like a real person like when you meet him in real life you're like how what What the fuck are you?

Speaker 1 He's like a superhero. Like you're seeing like a real live superhero.
And a super nice guy, man. He came and worked out with us.
We all worked out. Tony Hinchcliffe, Derek, Hassan.

Speaker 1 We all fucking lifted weights together, hung out, got in the sauna, Shane Gillis. We were all just chilling with the rock, working out with him.
Like no cameras, no nothing.

Speaker 1 I was like, let's fuck, we don't have to post this. Let's just have some fun.
It's like, fuck yeah. He was cool as shit.
Cool as shit, man. Wow, that's amazing, man.
It was fun.

Speaker 1 I enjoyed talking to him. He's a good guy.
I was in the airplane

Speaker 1 at the American Delta and I saw Jason Mamois. Oh, he's another one.
And I said, you're too handsome for me. And I just said, what's up?

Speaker 1 No, I don't know how to meet people. I always have

Speaker 1 weird people. I said, Jason, I just said that, Jason,

Speaker 1 what's up? And then I didn't know that. We were sitting almost close together on the airplane.
Then he saw me again, bro. Then I said, what's up? Then I felt like I creeped him out again, man.

Speaker 1 And then my wife was recording him, bro, recording him. but i was on my phone he thought i was recording him but

Speaker 1 i met him in a whole foods parking lot i met him in a whole foods parking lot in woodland hills i was going to pick up some groceries and he was there too i was like what's up man how you doing what's going on we're talking i think that was before he did conan which i i still say to this day the movie's not good like the conan movie it's kind of falls apart but the way it looked was amazing and he played conan and he's the perfect conan like that's what conan would have looked like He wouldn't have looked like a bodybuilder.

Speaker 1 No disrespect to Arnold, he looked amazing. But it's like Conan was just a big giant warrior.
And when he played that guy, what was the guy he played on Game of Thrones?

Speaker 1 Crackle or something like that.

Speaker 1 I can't remember. He was fucking incredible at that.
He played.

Speaker 1 That's Conan, man. Yeah.
That's Conan. Someone needs to do a good Conan the Barbarian movie.
Go back and read the Robert E. Howard books.
The books are great.

Speaker 1 It's this super depressed dude in like the 1930s writes about this barbarian. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Caldrago, that's right. There we are.
Two people are getting mistaken by. Bro, get a photo of him when he was Conan.
Jason Momoa as Conan.

Speaker 1 Bro, he was the perfect Conan right there. That's what Conan's supposed to look like.
That's how I'm supposed to look like Canon. That's the perfect Conan.
That's the Conan you believe is real.

Speaker 1 That's a guy throwing a sword around his whole life and fighting off dragons. He's not a bodybuilder.
He looks like that. That's what it looks like in the book.
Like that's fucking Conan.

Speaker 1 We're identical. That's Conan.

Speaker 1 I mean, someone needs the guy's still capable of playing this character. Someone, please.
Me.

Speaker 1 I wish Quentin Tarantino was into Conan. Quentin, if you're hearing me, please read the books.
Quentin Tarantino doing Conan would be the most epic thing of all time.

Speaker 1 Could you imagine? He would do it right. Or Beastmaster.
If he was into it, he would have to be into it. I have no idea if he's into it.
But if he was into it. If Quit Chung Chun might do it.

Speaker 1 Somebody should do it. It'll start with the ending.
It'll be like the ending of the movie in the beginning and confused. Somebody should confuse us.

Speaker 1 The books are great, man, because it's all from the mind of this tortured, tortured, depressed dude who winds up killing himself.

Speaker 1 It'll be the first time that you'll see a Conan movie with everybody saying the N-word all word over.

Speaker 1 I don't think they had that word back then. I think if you want to do it right,

Speaker 1 they'll make one up. I think if they really wanted to do it right, they should probably do it the way like Mel Gibson did Apocalypto.
That was a badass fucking movie, bro. You felt that movie, bro.

Speaker 1 But you know what I'm saying? Like, hearing the people say it.

Speaker 1 And the same thing he did with The Passion of the Christ. They spoke in the language, and it was all subtitles.

Speaker 1 Like, they spoke in the language, so you were transmitted exactly how these people were saying. You felt like it was real.
Like, apocalypto, you felt like it was real.

Speaker 1 Like, there was no English in that movie. It is a blockbuster movie that is a wild action-adventure movie.
Then we will hardcore, man, Passion of the Christ.

Speaker 1 There's something about being sucked into hearing the actual language of the people that would be doing this.

Speaker 1 It's so much better than, because, like, whenever they do like Game of Thrones or something like that in another country, all of a sudden everybody has an English accent. Yes.
That's how they do it.

Speaker 1 Instead of talking like an American, you can't talk like us because that would just throw people off. So you have to have some sort of a proper language.
That's the exorcist, man.

Speaker 1 Like if the exorcist, the devil would have had like an Irish accent, it would have been a totally different movie, but the Latin accent, whatever language, Latin language.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yes. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Fuck, exactly.
You don't even know what the language is, but you're fucking scared. Right, it has to be exotic.

Speaker 1 You can't have the devil going, hey, you fucking piece of shit, I'm going to fuck your eyeballs. You better get out of my garage.
Yeah, you can't have the devil talking like

Speaker 1 Jerry Seinfeld. I'm speaking up salutes.
Yeah, you can't have the devil with a whiny voice. Or a Boston accent.

Speaker 1 That was the scariest thing about Mike Tyson. He's the anti-voice that was so easy to make fun of, and he fucking murdered everybody.

Speaker 1 It was almost like he was begging you to make fun of his voice.

Speaker 1 Dangerous dudes. Yeah, it was almost like he was like begging you.
You're like, like you, bro.

Speaker 1 You're like one of those guys. You're like, to someone that doesn't know you personally, you're like, try me.
No, I'm not like that at all, though. I'm really friendly.

Speaker 1 If I didn't know you and I saw you walking down the street and you're not Joe Rogan, I'd be like, okay, man, this guy's good fight. He's healthy.
Stay away from him. I'm friendly.

Speaker 1 That's what we all need, my friend. We need friendliness.
But you've been friendly since day one, though.

Speaker 1 I was talking to your driver

Speaker 1 Rebel

Speaker 1 about when you gave me that solo pipe.

Speaker 1 And then you say you stopped using it because of butane. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I remember

Speaker 1 I was telling that

Speaker 1 the reason they call it solo pipe, because you're supposed to use it by yourself. But I remember I told everybody you gave it to me, and everybody wanted to hit it.

Speaker 1 And by the time I got it back, it was fucking hot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember those things. I try to stay, like, I think if you're smoking a cigar, like, butane is the way to go.
You know, you burn the end of it, but you don't want to, like, keep doing it.

Speaker 1 You want to, I feel like a certain amount of this is a chemical, no matter what. Like, that's a chemical.
You only want so much of that.

Speaker 1 You really should probably have matches if you're going to light, if you're going to smoke a cigar. Matches.
Yeah, you should really probably have matches.

Speaker 1 And I think if you're like a super cigar nerd, they do it even further. They take cedar and they light cedar strips and they use that to light their cigar.
Those are super nerds. Cedar strips? What?

Speaker 1 Cedar strips, dog. Pieces of wood.
They light little strips of wood and they light from pure wood, then they light their cigar. There's super nerds when it comes to cigars.
Like they get into it.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's what that guy said.

Speaker 1 Guys in New York, give me some ember.

Speaker 1 Give me some ember? Ember?

Speaker 1 Oh, that's that's that's that and what is ember? Fire? Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Yeah, so these guys, they take little cedar strips and they light them on fire, and then they light their cigar from the cedar strips.
So this way you're not getting any of the butane fumes.

Speaker 1 I don't even know how much you would get. I don't, you know.

Speaker 1 Get by it later? Yeah, sure. You know how to work it?

Speaker 1 We're probably going to find out.

Speaker 1 Every time you burn a lighter near you you inhale like 10 times more than you're ever supposed to in your life

Speaker 1 we'll probably find something like that out someday it can't be so good to have convenient fire like fire that quickly means like you've got some funky

Speaker 1 gases that you're burning you're burning some funky gases in the air Oh, horrible. Because I don't know what lighting a match and then you get the ugly ass.
You know what's real bad? What?

Speaker 1 Scented candles.

Speaker 1 Scented candles, apparently, are not healthy.

Speaker 1 Jamie, Google that.

Speaker 1 Maybe I should say some scented candles. Maybe there's a way to do it organically.

Speaker 1 We should find out if that's true, too. Because that would be a good thing to know.
Because I think there's some things in some scented candles that you're not supposed to inhale. And when you're

Speaker 1 a person that likes to have candles, and who doesn't, they're cool. You want to have candles in your house? That's dope.
Like candlelight dinner with a bunch of friends is dope.

Speaker 1 Right? But I think it's the scented ones. It says it's the ones that are made from paraffin.
The ones that are made from paraffin are the problem.

Speaker 1 It's a cheap byproduct primarily sourced from the refinement of petroleum. So you're burning petroleum.

Speaker 1 Paraffin is the most used candle wax worldwide, according to the National Candle Association, the major trade association representing U.S. candle manufacturers and their suppliers.

Speaker 1 So it's all candles made from paraffin.

Speaker 1 However, few studies on candle emissions or their potential effects on human health exist, and conclusions from the research are mixed.

Speaker 1 There is no overall conclusion that paraffin candles will either,

Speaker 1 excuse me, either will or won't harm your health, says pulmonologist Dr. Sobia Farouk, a clinical assistant professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.

Speaker 1 But the risk may also depend on various factors, including candle type and quality, how often and how long you're burning it, the airflow and the space where you're burning it, your health status, and more.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 either it's not good for you or it's fine.

Speaker 1 These are the options. And it seems to me like there's a little gaslighting going on here.
Like, how could it be good for you to have petroleum burning in your house?

Speaker 1 I want you to show me a study that's like tell to measure the fucking air in the room when you have three candles. Measure the air in the room when you have four candles.

Speaker 1 Keep going. Tell me when I'm going to get lung cancer from this shit.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 benzene, a known carcinogen, is another VOC released by paraffin candles.

Speaker 1 Hawk added. Long-term exposure to this chemical has been linked to blood disorders such as leukemia.
When inhaled, benzene can also be a respiratory irritant. Which means it could probably...

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 fuck.

Speaker 1 Fuck, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Because people think candles are cool it's like man but what about what is what is a candle that you can use like can there's got to be candles that are not bad i hope all those candles that i've got in a massage pot were safe new candle oh now candles made from soy wax beeswax or stearin coconut oil or animal fats are often considered healthier but anything that is burned emits harmful particulates or chemicals evan said so these candles also release vocs into the air.

Speaker 1 It's just that paraffin wax is usually more polluting, according to some. Oh, great.
So they all suck.

Speaker 1 The risk of toxic emissions is greater when candles are scented or dyed, which is another reason why paraffin-free candles aren't immediately in the clear.

Speaker 1 This is because artificial fragrances have VOCs, including phthalates, which have been linked to learning and behavior problems, obesity, impaired development. of the reproductive systems, and more.

Speaker 1 Evan said the unscented candle in the 2015 research also caused concerning concentrations of toxins, but had the lowest amount compared with its scented counterparts. Yeah, by what ratio?

Speaker 1 I wonder how much lower.

Speaker 1 Candle, oh, the National Candle Association maintains that candles are safe for use in the home, a spokesperson said in a statement.

Speaker 1 First of all, you can't totally say anything's safe. Because

Speaker 1 I was dating a girl once and she burnt her fucking house down with candles.

Speaker 1 That's exaggerating. She burnt a wall in her house.
What was she doing? She just let her candles burn down and something caught fire and it lit the side of her fucking bedroom hall.

Speaker 1 Like her wall was on fire.

Speaker 1 She liked candles. So they're not totally safe.
It's fire. Fire's not totally safe.
Fucking lighters aren't totally safe. You can't say it's safe.
Like,

Speaker 1 you could definitely do something stupid with it. Like, you know what's safe? Marshmallows.

Speaker 1 Marshmallows are safe. Not if you light them.
It's not good to eat. They're bad for your body, but they're fucking safe.
They're not going to kill you.

Speaker 1 Unless you're burning them to make some more with a lighter and a fork. You know what's supposed to be really bad for you? Paper straws.
Paper straws have those forever chemicals in them.

Speaker 1 See if that's true. Otherwise, we'll have to cut this out without getting sued by the paper straw industry.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 speaking of straws, right? Everybody knows that paper straws straws came around because everybody saw that video of that turtle with that straw in his nose.

Speaker 1 That's the only reason why we started looking at paper straws different than everything else, right?

Speaker 1 Paper

Speaker 1 plastic. Plastic.
Okay. Plastic straws came about.
What did I say paper? Plastic straws came about because of that video of that turtle with the plastic straw in his nose, right? Remember that? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was

Speaker 1 in the nose, right? Yeah, deep, deep in the turtle's nose. New studies found that 90% of paper straws tested contain forever chemicals or PFAS compared to 75% of plastic straws.

Speaker 1 So even plastic straws have those fucking chemicals in them, but it's even worse for you to use paper straws. Paper straws assessed by researchers at University of Antwerp, Belgium

Speaker 1 were found to contain more forever chemicals per polyfluor...

Speaker 1 fluoralkyl. How do you say that? Give it a shot.

Speaker 1 Philippe. Polyfluoral.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Substances or PFASs than plastic.
But all of them are bad for you. What it's basically saying is that even straws, 75% of plastic straws have tested that they contain forever chemicals.

Speaker 1 That's not good. So all of it's bad.
We should probably abandon the idea of straws. I like McDonald's straws, the big fat one.
Here's what you don't want.

Speaker 1 A metal straw and a Stanley and then fall on your face. Okay.
These people have done that. Idiots.

Speaker 1 Well, listen, I've fallen before.

Speaker 1 No, but I've fallen before. I'm with a straw.
No, I haven't, but I would imagine, like, I would, you know,

Speaker 1 just because you fall with a straw doesn't mean you're an idiot. But

Speaker 1 people

Speaker 1 got to be aware that that's basically a metal shank that's going to go right through your face if you trip.

Speaker 1 You got to carry that thing if you're clumsy, like as if you're carrying a knife, like moved away from your body. You know, don't catch your body with it if you fall down and stab yourself.

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. You wouldn't let your baby hold that.
Why are you holding it? Yeah, yeah, why are you holding that? You're not ready for that yet. You ain't ready.

Speaker 1 Well, especially if you're clumsy. Clumsy people should really know they're clumsy and be super careful with what they're carrying.
Are you clumsy? Yeah, man. Don't carry a rake.

Speaker 1 I was outside over there going,

Speaker 1 I was holding that baseball, and I'm thinking, I'm holding that baseball, and I'm looking at the werewolf, and I'm thinking, looking at my wife, I bet you I could throw a knuckleball and make it right in the fucking werewolf's mouth.

Speaker 1 He goes, you fuck something upside down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't fuck up my werewolf, bro. That's one of my prized possessions.
And even if you get hit it, what does that prove?

Speaker 1 Don't want to break the werewolf's teeth. What are you trying to prove, Felipe?

Speaker 1 That's still going to throw a knuckleball. Were you a good baseball player? Hell no.
No? But you had a good knuckleball or no? No, I was good at playing street ball with a tennis ball.

Speaker 1 And I could make, I had a good junk on a tennis ball. And we would throw like a regular fastball.
Yeah. And I used to make that shit.
Man, that was good. Dude, we used to play stickball in the street.

Speaker 1 That was fun. We were kids.
I don't get that game.

Speaker 1 I Wikipedia the other day to learn how to play because they're having like a stickball tournament in New York last week when I was there. Yeah, that's the video I saw.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because they were having a tournament. Other veterans that used to play stickball in New York showed up to play.
And these guys were split on concrete. Yes, bro.

Speaker 1 But I never knew the game because in LA we play over the line. That's a good way to get a staph infection.

Speaker 1 Look at that, bro. Spliding on concrete.
good way

Speaker 1 they're getting pumped yeah that looks like a guy who plays really good stick ball terror squad

Speaker 1 yeah it's a city thing

Speaker 1 a broomstick right when i played it when i lived in jamaica plain which a little place outside of uh boston we played that used to play stick ball on the street it was people get mad at you hit their car with a tennis ball it was stupid but kids are just always looking for something to do back then now they're all online i used to play crazy games growing up bro that um I'm pretty sure kids don't play that anymore.

Speaker 1 I used to play this game called Wevos, which is called Eggs.

Speaker 1 We used to put like a bunch of holes on the floor with your name on it, and then somebody will throw a tennis ball, and whoever the ball lands in that hole, that person has to grab that ball and fuck somebody up in the back before they make it to the wall.

Speaker 1 And that person you hit has to grab that ball and then hit people on the way back before they get to the other side of the wall. And if you miss everybody, you get an egg on your little hole.

Speaker 1 And once you get four of them, we all take turns fucking you up with a tennis ball while you're just standing at this. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, there was no cable back then.

Speaker 1 And we didn't want to join gangs.

Speaker 1 I think you did. And we didn't want to read.
I think you guys had a softcore gang. We didn't have no Boy Scouts.

Speaker 1 That's a crazy way to make friends. And we have, you ever play suicide, though?

Speaker 1 I don't remember. How's it go? It's a handball court, a wall, and you throw a ball, and there's five kids, and you catch it.
But if you miss it, everybody starts fucking you up. No, I never played it.

Speaker 1 So you made it to the wall.

Speaker 1 No, I never played it. It was called suicide.
Never played. They'll tell you, you know, everybody stand by the wall and you throw the ball against the wall.
You try to catch it. And if you miss,

Speaker 1 they fucking jump you till you get to the wall with the ball.

Speaker 1 Fuck that.

Speaker 1 That's how I do it. You got videos of it, Jamie.

Speaker 1 Suicide. Oh, my God.
I'm just explaining that. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Requires at least two players. Could have as many as can be accommodated by the playing area.
But this is funny when they take a game like this and they break it down. Like, these are the rules.

Speaker 1 We did play wall ball. We caught a wall ball.
You caught a wall ball? Did you do it like that? It was honestly, yeah. So if you fucked up, you'd have to stay on the wall.
People could throw the ball.

Speaker 1 There it is. Right there.
They're fucking them up. They're open.

Speaker 1 Until the player touches the wall, they are open to be pegged, struck hard with a thrown ball by the player who caught it.

Speaker 1 If a player comes into contact with the ball but fails to catch it, they are also open to be pegged.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's what it was. It's a tough word to use, but that's what it is.
Getting hit by a tennis ball is a good thing to get hit by, though, right? It sucks.

Speaker 1 Like, if someone's throwing it, it sucks, but it's not going to kill you.

Speaker 1 There's always this asshole kid that didn't like that kid that was going to get hit, and he'll put that fucking ball in a shitload of water and mud. Oh,

Speaker 1 that's a problem. He's cheating.
He can't cheat.

Speaker 1 Also, remember,

Speaker 1 if that person about to get hit by the ball runs home,

Speaker 1 we'll fucking chase him home, bro, beat him up in front of his mom.

Speaker 1 Boy.

Speaker 1 That's why cable's important. Yes, that's why the internet's important.
YouTube, you got to keep people pacified. TikTok saved your life.
Imagine if it did. Imagine if it saved a few lives.

Speaker 1 People just at home scrolling instead of out gangbanging.

Speaker 1 You know, I mean, everybody gets addicted to it. If you just, you don't go out and do terrible things because you just scroll and staring at your TikTok.
I know, man.

Speaker 1 I wonder if kids still shoplift for fun. I bet they do.
You know, there's been like famous people that have been caught shoplifting. I think a lot of people shoplift.

Speaker 1 You shoplift when you were little? I did. You were hungry? No, no, no.
I was just dumb and young. And I got caught.
You don't do it now, right? Like, you see opportunity? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 I did it like a couple times ever. It was like candy bars and shit.

Speaker 1 I was just hanging around with a bunch of bad kids. And we would do that.

Speaker 1 It was a thrill. You'd go to a store and steal something.
And I think we probably did it two or three times. And I got caught.
I don't do it anymore. But

Speaker 1 it's so stupid. I know.
But sometimes I'm walking around and I see like a pack of donuts,

Speaker 1 but they're far from where the donuts are. Right.
that they're by the shoe and they're open and I'm like I'm all high looking at the donut damn you're lost

Speaker 1 Joey Diaz used to swipe lighters from 7-Eleven just to stay sharp

Speaker 1 even when he had money even when he had money he would swipe lighters

Speaker 1 just to stay on his toes How you doing, brother?

Speaker 1 I saw him do that while he's talking to the guy and he put his Snickers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's got some hand movements to distract you. I think that was a game, man, that road companies would do, bro, on the way to a gig who could shoplift the most shit out of the gas station.

Speaker 1 That's not good for our reputation.

Speaker 1 That's not good for our reputation. You get power bars.
Traveling entertainers. You get power bars.

Speaker 1 Gas station food, man.

Speaker 1 Those times when you're on the road and all you're eating is garbage. Hell yeah, man.
You got to buy a grilled cheese there and put pork rinds in there from the package.

Speaker 1 You got to take a chance with the bean and cheese burrito that you microwave. You have to open that strip of plastic.
Those were good, though. They were good when you were hungry.

Speaker 1 Every now and then you got like good food at a gas station. You're like, why doesn't everybody do this? Like sometimes you go to a gas station and it's like a gas station, but it's also like a

Speaker 1 chicken spot. Fried chicken, cheeseburgers.
You're like, damn, those cheeseburgers, that was a legit fucking cheeseburger. Okay.

Speaker 1 Where am I? This place is dangerous here. I mean, you would make more money, right? That's what Bucky's figured figured out.
You go, whatever the fuck you want. We got it, dude.

Speaker 1 We got barbecue, pickled dicks. Let's go.
We got eggs, cheese, milk. You could buy a house.

Speaker 1 You could buy a fucking sled. What do you need? Fishing poles? What do you need? You need a hamburger? What else? You got a Yeti cooler and a Traeger grill.
We got those.

Speaker 1 We got a shower in the back if you want a shower. They're making a Disney Bucky's and it's going to have rides in it.
You know, there's a lawsuit going on with Bucky's.

Speaker 1 They're claiming that these people copied their logo. Which one? Chuckies? No, there's another spot that has another kind of an animal.
Yeah, they do that with all...

Speaker 1 They knock off. And wherever that is, they knock off all sorts of stores.
I'll try to find that.

Speaker 1 Is it in another country? Yeah, I think so. Oh, I thought it was in America.
Yeah, it's in Mexico. Ooh, interesting.
Oh, Mexico loves to do that. So there's a fake Bucky.
Oh, I've seen that.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. I've seen that.
That's not it.

Speaker 1 That's the fake Buckies in Mexico. Put that picture up again.

Speaker 1 Put that picture up again. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 So there's a fake in-and-out in Mexico, too.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's so funny, man. And there's a fake In-N-Out in California.
I've seen the fake In N-Out in Mexico. There's a fake one in California.
Yeah, it's called Easy Takeout.

Speaker 1 And I think they used to be

Speaker 1 same uniforms, same stand,

Speaker 1 same burgers, but they just added a breakfast burger. It's called Easy Takeout in West Covina.
Wow. So they copied the logo.
It's very similar here. Oh, let's see.

Speaker 1 This is what the lawsuit is about. Same city, Tempalupas, Mexico.
Oh, yeah. They even got a little gap in between it.
Bucky's knockout, Lucky, spotted. He's lucky to have two teeth.

Speaker 1 But that's the one in Mexico, right, Jamie? They both? I told you. They both.
They're both. I don't think this other one

Speaker 1 is in Mexico.

Speaker 1 I might be wrong. A month ago, two months ago, Bucky's taking legal action against Mexican companies.
Shut up. It's the only thing that came up.
I was looking a little bit more. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Well, what was that animal? That was like a...

Speaker 1 The Bucky's is a chocabra. Right.
So, what was that other animal? Was the Lucky? Who's Lucky? Is Lucky a rabbit? Like, what is Lucky? Lucky is also a Beaver. Okay.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we have three animals. We have a Papador, though.
Let me see. Where's Lucky's?

Speaker 1 What a bunch of dumbasses. Oh, my God.
It is a beaver. What is it?

Speaker 1 He wearing a sword. Oh, you know,

Speaker 1 it's a raccoon. Oh, it's a raccoon.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 No, you can't do that. He's a mask, man.
He's a bandito. Why can't you do that, though? Why can't you have Harry's? Or how about George's and have Curious George?

Speaker 1 They could, you know, get together, a little franchise.

Speaker 1 Curious George. Everybody loves Curious George.

Speaker 1 Would that be okay? Like, if they have George's, would they get sued? Oh, Enrique. There's a different lawsuit.
Let's see. There is a different lawsuit.

Speaker 1 Super Fuels trademark infringement. Let me see.

Speaker 1 Because you imagine if the owners, whoever owns the. Yeah, this is even.
This is a little different. Whoa.
Because it's like a

Speaker 1 one I saw, Super Fuels.

Speaker 1 So there's, it's just, they're saying it's because it's got a smiling animal. And the red hat.
See, I don't know. I'm not on board with that one.
I'm trying to see what they're trying to.

Speaker 1 I'm not on board with that one. I can't think that you could own the idea of having any kind of cute animal as a part of your logo.
That seems kind of ridiculous.

Speaker 1 I don't understand copyright law, but doesn't that seem like a little ridiculous to you? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 what if it's a cat and you make it kiddies?

Speaker 1 And you have a cute little cat? Are you telling me that I can't make a business called kitties? That depends where you're doing business at and

Speaker 1 how much of a copyright you have, kind of. Like, is it nationwide? Did you have an international copyright, which is really tough? Right, but is that a copyright infringement if you have kiddies?

Speaker 1 It depends on what if you're copying it. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Imagine someone has a copyright to the ability. I don't understand any of this stuff, so clearly I'm talking out of my ass.

Speaker 1 But imagine if somebody has a copyright to just owning the ability to use a cartoon character

Speaker 1 in your logo. That seems completely insane, doesn't it? Yeah.
But

Speaker 1 what's his name? This is Comedy Club, and Tommy Tees, he used to have the Lauren Hardy,

Speaker 1 what you call it, the Lauren Hardy logos. Laurel and Hardy? Yeah, it was like, yeah, and for his comedy club.
Oh, and

Speaker 1 he got sued by Bozo the Clown. He owned the Bozo owned Laurel and Hardy? Yeah,

Speaker 1 the cartoon. Anything that you put cartoon on it was Laurel Hardy's face.
Imagine going back, watching Laurel Hardy. Imagine showing somebody that had no idea about American culture at all.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Going back, and you show them Laurel Hardy, and then right after, you show them Chappelle's show when Dave plays the blind white supremacist. Yeah.
Black.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that guy.

Speaker 1 But imagine, imagine seeing like what this is what comedy started out as and this is comedy later

Speaker 1 that is a wild ride yes man that's a wild ride the ride from like abbott and castello yes who's on first who's on for eddie canter bro

Speaker 1 eddie canter was the first comedian to do radio

Speaker 1 and um and um he was because i have a history for fools podcast so i learned about the the history of stand-up comedy.

Speaker 1 Plus, I read that, I watched the documentary, but he was one of the first guys, but he was very clean, bro. He sang.

Speaker 1 Can we hear some of this? Hear some of this.

Speaker 1 He was getting paid $500

Speaker 1 for five-minute shows on radio.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he can't.

Speaker 1 He was the first guy to have a

Speaker 1 radio comedy show. What is it? I'm trying to hear what he's saying.

Speaker 1 What is he saying?

Speaker 1 He's thinking some vaudeville nonsense.

Speaker 1 The dumb ones know how to make love. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 The dumb ones know how to make love.

Yeah, and then like they wouldn't say nothing. And finally a woman said something, Mr.
Cantor,

Speaker 1 and he had her fire.

Speaker 1 Hmm.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 kind of remember, like people back then were basically barbarians. Yeah.
1920s people. Bro, back then it was World War I, bro.

Speaker 1 Back then, for a stand-up comedian, like what I found out was, imagine you do a gig, $200 back then, right? And the promoter says,

Speaker 1 I'm not going to the gangsters, I'm not going to pay you. And you don't get paid? And they hope the cops.
You have a couple of three vagrants walking around downtown.

Speaker 1 And then you're three comedians walking around town with no hotel, no pay, and they're going to pick you up for being a hobo now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could get stiffed for sure. But that was back then, bro.
After the hard time. Imagine from then to now.

Speaker 1 Well, I think there's probably still a lot of shit

Speaker 1 out there for a lot of guys that are coming up. But it's just now there's more real gigs.
Yeah, better gigs. Well,

Speaker 1 comedy is more accessible, you know, because of YouTube and everything.

Speaker 1 Comedy is just way, it's everywhere, you know, like your special. Oh, tell everybody.
Oh, I have a special right now. What a segue.
Yeah, I have a special right now on Netflix, Raging Fool.

Speaker 1 We shot it at the Chris Theater in Sacramento, two shows. My wife directed it and executed produced.
She executive produced all my specials. But

Speaker 1 we shot it with our own money and we paid everybody and then we sold it to Netflix. We made like a two-year deal.
Oh, that's awesome so we only

Speaker 1 great I love that I love the track suit yes because of raging bull because raging fool

Speaker 1 I love the track suit it's dope because I was watching that movie raging bull yeah and I was thinking that when Jake LaMotta had nothing left to do in his life he had nothing how to make money right he said you know what I'm gonna be a comedian so and I felt like wow He had nothing else to do with his life, so he figured out

Speaker 1 I'm gonna do stand-up comedy.

Speaker 1 Because that that was the last thing and then for us it's like the first thing well that happens with actors sometimes too when their careers kind of dwindle they start doing stand-up that happens and he had like he when he was you saw the moira raging bull when he doing stand-up and um he's at the he's at a bar called um jimmy's corner bar and that bar is still there you know stanhope was friends with him really yeah because the guy that guy lived down in arizona where stanhope lives oh that's cool man yeah he's like got photos of him hanging out over his house and yeah Yeah, Jake LaMott was Stanhope's boy.

Speaker 1 And that's a real story, man. Jake LaMatto was a character.
Yeah. That was a wild fella.
A wild, crazy fella. And goddamn, Robert De Niro

Speaker 1 fucking nailed it now. Nailed it, huh? Nailed it.
I mean, nailed it. Like, he looked like an animal when he was Jake LaMatto, like the younger Jake LaMano.
Did you fuck my wife? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus Christ. He was so scary.
He was so scary because he was just out of his fucking mind and so dangerous. And it was based on a real guy, man.

Speaker 1 I mean, the movie is real close to how that guy was, Jake LaMotta, when he was in his prime. He was a fucking monster, man.

Speaker 1 I like what he looks at his hands. And he goes, he don't like his hands because they're not big, I guess.
He goes,

Speaker 1 I can never be a heavyweight. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Isn't that crazy? Crazy. That's crazy.
That's a different kind of human, man.

Speaker 1 And back then, there was a lot of people like that. This is, you got to go back and put your mind into what it must have been like to be Jake LaMotta growing up and like what.
So what year was Jake

Speaker 1 in his prime? What year did he fight Sugar Ray Robinson? Let's ask that. Jake LaMotta versus Sugar Ray Robinson.

Speaker 1 52? 59? 42. 42.

Speaker 1 42. Okay.

Speaker 1 Madison Square Garden, 1942. So you got to imagine.
imagine. Wow.
You got to just put your mind into the type of people that lived back then. I mean,

Speaker 1 like, cars were new. Sewage was new.
Like, people had been coming over in boats.

Speaker 1 Criminals were everywhere. Crime was everywhere.
Organized crime was the rule of the law in all the Italian communities, the Irish communities. You know, that was the thing.
1942, wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This was just

Speaker 1 the United States. It's like, you ever watched that movie, Gangs of New York? Yes.
Fucking great movie, right? I'd say fucking great movie. And probably

Speaker 1 pretty accurate. Yes.

Speaker 1 Roughly pretty accurate the way life was back then. Some of those gangsters that were in that movie were actually real people.

Speaker 1 I believe it. Like that woman in that movie, I think you talked about it.
The one they used to collect ears and put them in a jar. Yeah.
Yeah. She was an actual real person.
She had a bar

Speaker 1 where people would just have a jar full of pickled ears and noses from previous fights. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Jesus. And they'll have fights in the back with a mongoose fighting a dog.
Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Gangs of New York, man. That movie is so because we don't think of New York that way.
You think of New York as like New York City. Well, it was kind of dangerous in the 70s.

Speaker 1 Then, you know, Giuliani cleaned it up. And then, you know, it's pretty commercialized in a lot of ways, but still a beautiful city.

Speaker 1 But New York, during the time of that, whenever that film was supposed to represent, was a wild, crazy, almost like Wild West type place. Like,

Speaker 1 we think of those kind of scenes when you think of a Wild West movie, right?

Speaker 1 Right? You think... Yeah, the good by the ugly.
Yeah, you think of people getting stabbed and shot.

Speaker 1 But that was happening over there, too.

Speaker 1 It's not like it never happened on the East Coast and they only did it on the West Coast. It was a thousand people.
It was happening in the whole country.

Speaker 1 And they had just gotten.

Speaker 1 I mean, these people had just gotten done with a fucking civil war, right? Yeah. Because back then, you got to think, 1940,

Speaker 1 you go to like the 1860s to the 1940s, that's not that much time. No.
That's pretty quick. That's 80 years.
80 years. A lot of those fuckers are still alive.
Still alive. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Same mentality, same craziness. And then you got more immigrants coming in on boats.
No YouTube to watch, just a women of prayer. Someone told them to come.
I always think about that man like when the

Speaker 1 Jesus

Speaker 1 supposedly was

Speaker 1 she was Maggie, Hellcat Maggie. Jesus.

Speaker 1 I think about

Speaker 1 when the Irish are coming in at the same time when that movie is happening and they told them, you want a free meal? You want to fight for your country?

Speaker 1 And they give them a uniform and their families go off to New York and they go off to fight the South. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 Just imagine coming out of the boat and somebody just hands you a gun and a piece of bread and goes, go fight for America. And I think about that, like, wow, some hardcore people right there, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hardcore people.

Speaker 1 Different times, man. Desperate.
Yeah, and then people look old, older then than they do now. Oh, yeah, they look old quick.
Yeah, like you look at a person's photo and you go, how old is that kid?

Speaker 1 He looks like 70. Oh, I have a 25-year-old kid working in a coal mine.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Working in coal mines. Those people all got sick.
They all got fucked up. I mean, that's environmental pollution that you're signing up for.
Like, you're going to go breathe coal dust no matter what.

Speaker 1 Everyone gets, they all get horrible. Fucking.

Speaker 1 What is that? Black lung? Black lung. That's terrifying.
Terrifying.

Speaker 1 And then you've got people that just live around coal plants and they're breathing that shit and they don't even, they're not even a part of that business. I know, man.
Like Wilkes Barr, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 Bro, there's a place that we showed a video once. It was, was it Indiana, Jamie?

Speaker 1 Yeah? Yeah. So there's like three coal plants near this city and these people, they can wipe their windshield and they have black soot on their fingers.

Speaker 1 It just falls in America. Yeah, it's in America.
So these people are for sure breathing that shit in.

Speaker 1 Pittsburgh? Indiana. Oh, Indiana.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's scary. That's scary.
And that's a fraction of what's going on in China, bro.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, because when I was, I was in, I was in Seattle, and I was waiting, I was crossing the, waiting for the car to pass. I was going to my show, and I saw

Speaker 1 it was like a two, a mile train, and it was all coal. Coal, real black coal coming from Minnesota.
And I asked the cop that was standing there,

Speaker 1 I go, I didn't know we still mine coal. And he goes, well,

Speaker 1 we don't use it, but it's all going to China. Really? Yeah, like it was like a mile, bro, of coal, and

Speaker 1 it had no cover on it. That's crazy.
And it was just falling.

Speaker 1 They say that, well, I don't know how much coal flies. I don't know shit about coal, but I just know what the guy told me.

Speaker 1 There was a mile train of coal coming from Minnesota on that one line, and there was a boat. I can see the boat where it was going.
Wow.

Speaker 1 And it's all going to China. Yeah.
Yeah, they're full steam ahead with coal.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 someone should check to see if maybe they know something we don't. I know, man.
What are they producing with that coal? They're doing a lot.

Speaker 1 I mean, they produce so many of the things that we need, which is one of the craziest things that we all found out when everything got locked down is you couldn't get anything because so much of what you wanted was made in China.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh my God. Or made in Russia or made in anywhere where they had to come in on a ship.
You know, like that became a real fucking problem. I thought it was made in Akron, Ohio.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they hardly make shit here. In comparison to what we consume, we consume way more, probably, I would guess, than any country of a similar size.
And

Speaker 1 yo, dog.

Speaker 1 Still rocking the Samsung. I love it.
I love when a comic holds out and doesn't go iPhone. Oh, no, man.
I like the bigger phone and a little pen. You like the pen.
I love the pen.

Speaker 1 You're one of those guys. Which one is that? The

Speaker 1 S24?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that one. That one.
S24 Ultra. Yeah.
Yeah. Is that the newest one or the one right before it? Right before it.
There's a new one that just came out. It's pretty dope, dude.

Speaker 1 A year and a half ago, I think. No, yeah, that's the old one.
That's the S24 Ultra. I have that one.
That one's sick. It does a lot of cool shit.
Good videos, right? Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 1 Granted, a lot of stuff, but the interesting thing is the AI. So, what I like about it is

Speaker 1 I can go to a website, and if I open it up in the Samsung browser, and then

Speaker 1 I can say summarize, and it'll summarize the website for me. Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so if there's something that's taking forever for you to get to the point, because you want me to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling while you show ads all over the place, that's a trap.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 it'll just tell you, oh, there's an asteroid that might hit Earth within the next fucking sixty years. Like, oh, great.
There's a three percent what is a percent chance? Down to one point five today.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 1 Only one point five percent. I take I take pictures like uh I could take a picture of you, right? And then do that one screen.
Yeah. And then I circle it and it'll find a sweater for me.

Speaker 1 That's cool. That's really cool.
That's a I think that's available on all phones now.

Speaker 1 I think the new iPhone update has that as well, where you can Google search a thing and it'll show you where to buy it. That's what that's what my wife my wife always wanted.

Speaker 1 She wanted like to have it where you're watching television and you part it with your finger and make a circle and then

Speaker 1 it just ships to your house. You know when people are going to be fed up with that thing? When,

Speaker 1 first of all,

Speaker 1 you can only buy so much shit. But second of all, like,

Speaker 1 what happens? Like, you know, those glasses that they wear now, those meta glasses? Have you seen this Harvard shit? Oh, the one that you could record now? Yeah, I've seen those.

Speaker 1 Some Harvard kid figured out how to use facial recognition software with that.

Speaker 1 So he sees you, gets a photo of you, immediately gets a Wikipedia on you or whatever the fuck is available online, sees your Instagram page, finds your address, and it was wild.

Speaker 1 You're like, wait, hit the brakes.

Speaker 1 Sound like the T-1000 Terminator. Yeah.
It's like, hit the brakes. Hit the brakes.

Speaker 1 But I don't think they can.

Speaker 1 Was there a movie like that? Yeah, there's been a bunch of movies. The movie with Roddy Piper was like that.
Oh, they live. They use

Speaker 1 glasses. Yes.
Right. But that was aliens.
I think about that.

Speaker 1 Sometimes when you have a guest, I go, wait a minute. He's talking about those glasses from Roddy Piper?

Speaker 1 Similar. I think the Roddy Piper glasses, you put them on, you could see what everybody really looked like.
You could see through whatever energy field they were projecting.

Speaker 1 It was these alien creatures that were pretending to be people. And there's a lot of people that believe that now.

Speaker 1 I'm less inclined to believe that, but I'm open.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't want to get tricked. I mean, if there really are people that are actually aliens that are amongst us that look like people and behave like people,

Speaker 1 this is the guy who figured it out.

Speaker 1 Try to say his name, Felipe. Hit me with it.

Speaker 1 I create.

Speaker 1 What's the first one? Right here. Right there.
Try that. Oh, it's

Speaker 1 Anfu Nuyen.

Speaker 1 I think.

Speaker 1 Kayan or Doflo. I don't think they say Nuyen.
I I think they say Gwen,

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 Because there's been a few fighters in the UFC, Vietnamese fighters, that have that same spelling. And I think they say it as...
Can you find out how they say it, Jamie? So it's Alfu Gwen? Okay.

Speaker 1 I can see it. A little Dutch there.

Speaker 1 And Kane

Speaker 1 Rdifio, Ardefeo?

Speaker 1 Artifio.

Speaker 1 So they figured out how to do this. It's making up name now.
No, this is a real name.

Speaker 1 that just explains anybody can do it my name is

Speaker 1 but can you scroll so we can explain

Speaker 1 how it's possible to do it today how to remove your information oh geez literally like the instructions so it's just showing how to remove your face from face search engines which you're not going to be able to do eventually

It's getting weird out there for the

Speaker 1 flip phone though.

Speaker 1 I had a friend of mine who came in here the other day and he's he's down to a flip phone, and his flip phone was interesting because it has Android on it.

Speaker 1 His flip phone, you could actually get text messages on it, and you have a little tiny ass screen on the flip phone where you can kind of clumsily type your way through a sentence.

Speaker 1 So you don't have to do it with like a full keyboard, like an iPhone or an earphone, but you also, it's inconvenient, so you don't text as much.

Speaker 1 You don't go on these long-winded diatribes like a lot of people do. You just real simple.
The whole screen is on there, but you got to navigate all the way around to read everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I remember those. It's a tiny little ass screen.
It's got regular buttons to make phone calls. And then on his little tiny ass screen is a tiny ass keyboard, about that big.

Speaker 1 And you get in there with that tiny ass keyboard, and you try to type a text message, and then you can press send. And so it's inconvenient.
So you don't go on Twitter. You don't check things out.

Speaker 1 You just get your text messages. It can do other stuff if you absolutely fucking need it to.
But live your life, bitch.

Speaker 1 And he was in here with that. I was like, man, that seems cool, but I like watching YouTube on my phone, so I don't know what to tell you.
That sounds like the Larry Bubbles Brown from San Francisco.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he still has the flip phone. David Tell? Wow.
David Tell has a flip phone. Yeah.
You should see him text me. Do they have hilarious?

Speaker 1 Do they both have the original phone numbers when you first met them? No. No, they've all changed the numbers.

Speaker 1 You have to change every now and then. It's, you know, you got to purge.

Speaker 1 Got to keep moving. I think

Speaker 1 I still have my same phone number for the last

Speaker 1 20 years. Damn.
One of those dudes. A holdout.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Sometimes that's good, but it gets annoying sometimes.

Speaker 1 You know, it's all in, you got to manage your time. You change your phone number a lot?

Speaker 1 Nice people.

Speaker 1 People I trust.

Speaker 1 You got to manage your time. You know, like, and

Speaker 1 the thing about a guy like you is, like, you're headlining, you're on the road. Dudes want to open up for you.
You got the Netflix special. They want to hang out with you.

Speaker 1 It's like, you got to manage your time because you can't give your time away to everybody like there's a certain amount of time you need for yourself if you don't have that time you need for yourself you go off the rails yeah you gotta you gotta take time to recenter all the time all the time and if you're constantly getting this and that and that and then you're constantly interacting you're never alone you never with

Speaker 1 people yeah i like i get in a sauna and i stretch out every day i get down there i fucking stretch everything out when you're doing that you can't do anything else you can't be scrolling on tick tock when you're stretching everything out.

Speaker 1 You got to just go through your routine. And then that clears my mind.
And I feel like if you don't make room for that,

Speaker 1 you're going to fuck your life up. And

Speaker 1 I know that there's only so many people that I can entertain and help with stuff.

Speaker 1 There's only so many, there's so many people that are just, it's a transactional kind of a conversation you're having with them. It's not fun.
It's not like, what's up, dude? Hey, what's up?

Speaker 1 Those are great. Yeah.
But then there's a lot of, could you do this? Would you do that? Will you fly to here and do you're like

Speaker 1 enough

Speaker 1 you know so you gotta like know when to change number what time you get up it depends most days eight i was up at eight eight is good i'll tell you i'll tell you that totally like but bro i get up at five every day

Speaker 1 yeah i don't think that's necessary it's a thing like people won't always want to do Where they want to show themselves that they have the discipline to get up. I respect that.
Like Jocko does that.

Speaker 1 You know Jocko Willink? No. No he is?

Speaker 1 Jocko is a he's amazing, dude. He's a

Speaker 1 former Navy SEAL

Speaker 1 who is one of the most inspirational guys I know. And

Speaker 1 he writes books on leadership, just brilliant guy, has an excellent podcast, solid dude, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

Speaker 1 And he

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 Every morning he takes a photo of his watch. It says 4.30 a.m.

Speaker 1 I want to see that guy. is

Speaker 1 every morning when he's waking up. You get his shitty Iron Man.
I shouldn't say shitty because they're fucking durable as fuck. These little Iron Man triathlon watches.

Speaker 1 Oh, it looks like he got a new watch.

Speaker 1 That's a new watch, Jocko. You can't fool me.
I know your old watch. Go back to the old watch pictures.
Look, so it's every day, 4:30, his fucking watch, sometimes 4:14.

Speaker 1 Takes a photo of it, and then he works out.

Speaker 1 He's just a legit dude. Wow, that's dedicated.
So that's him, though. He likes doing that.
He likes doing that.

Speaker 1 But he's not a comedian. You know what I'm saying? I think for a comedian, you can't be that rigid.
You'll get a little psychotic. You can't be that rigid.

Speaker 1 You got to have discipline, but you also got to have fun.

Speaker 1 So I don't get up at 4.30. Get the fuck out of here.
First of all, I'm up until at least midnight almost every night. Me too.

Speaker 1 I get like most of my best writing done and my best ideas when everyone in the house is asleep.

Speaker 1 So when everyone in my house is asleep and I'm up, I like that because I'm like, oh, cool, everybody, I don't need, nobody needs my attention.

Speaker 1 Now I can concentrate and I get my, I can't concentrate when people are in the house. I feel like I should be hanging out and having fun and being with everybody.

Speaker 1 I don't want to lock myself up in my office, but that's the only way to write. But for me, it's like late at night is where it's at because everybody's asleep and the world feels creepy.

Speaker 1 You know, at night, the world feels kind of dangerous and fucked up and stupid.

Speaker 1 It's like, you know, when you worry about war in the middle of the night, it's like one o'clock in the morning, you're in front of your computer, you're writing something on Microsoft Word, you're genuinely worried about war.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Genuinely worried that decisions that people are making in this country are going to one day come down on us with holy terror.
One day, just in the middle of the city, just boom,

Speaker 1 some fucking thermonuclear device that levels a place four times the size of Hiroshima Hiroshima instantaneously. I think about that kind of shit late at night.

Speaker 1 How do you make that funny? I don't sometimes.

Speaker 1 Some of it's not funny. But there's funny things attached to it.
There's funny things attached to just the way we behave.

Speaker 1 There's nothing funny about the potential for complete annihilation of the human race. But there is something funny about this desire that we have to

Speaker 1 keep doing the same things we've always done and hope that somehow or another we get it right this time.

Speaker 1 And we're on the verge of war all the time, and there's got to be some way to stop that other than funding more war. There's got to be a better way to stop that.

Speaker 1 That's funny you said the verge of war and

Speaker 1 when you first started doing stand-up comedy, how many, there's been a lot of versions of real wars, huh? Yeah, the first war when I was

Speaker 1 so when was Desert Storm? Was that

Speaker 1 Desert Shield? Which one was which?

Speaker 1 We had this conversation the other day. Desert Shield was with Norman Swarzhkov.
That's Iraq, and that's like 2003? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 The one I'm talking about is Desert Storm, which was like 1990. Was it 1990, Jamie?

Speaker 1 That says they're the

Speaker 1 exact same, but it says they're the same. So

Speaker 1 they're in the same phases.

Speaker 1 Oh b yeah, but the first invasion before we pulled out with George W. Bush in Iraq.
Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 20th, 1990. Yeah,

Speaker 1 okay. So when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, then we went to war with Iraq and I was living with my friend Jimmy and we were sitting Jimmy D'Itilio, shout out to Jimmy.

Speaker 1 We were sitting in uh our apartment in the living room and the war was on T V and we were like, holy shit, man, we're at war I remember thinking, this can't even be real.

Speaker 1 Shit happened at night, right? We started watching those air raids. Yeah, it started as Desert Shield, and then when we started going after, like, Ham was Desert Storm.
Yeah. And what year was that?

Speaker 1 90. That was just like a year later.
It was 91.

Speaker 1 So Desert Shield was to protect, and Desert Storm was to destroy. Yeah, it was dropping off.

Speaker 1 Bill Hicks had the best material about that. Oh, my God.
His material about the war was great. They have such sophisticated weapons.
How do you know? We got the receipts.

Speaker 1 We love to arm puppet dictators and then fuck them up. You know, it's like, you know, it's like a Clinish would movie.
Pick up the gun. You know, it's like Dirty Harry.

Speaker 1 I tell you, I know you're thinking

Speaker 1 fire for her. Or tell you the truth, I kind of forgot myself.
My favorite one is

Speaker 1 the unforgiving man. When a guy's crying, could he kill somebody?

Speaker 1 He goes,

Speaker 1 That's what happens when you kill a man.

Speaker 1 You take away all he ever wanted and all he ever had.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That movie was the best

Speaker 1 Western movie, I think, ever. Like of that kind of Clin Eastwood genre, that was almost like he was coming back to update it.

Speaker 1 You know, because he had all the bangers, you know, good, the bad, and the ugly, a fist full of dollars, like incredible. Outlaw Josie Wells.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, Outlaw Josie Wells was that was another level too, but then it's like Unforgiven was the one where it like really gave you a sense sense of what it must have been like living in the Wild West.

Speaker 1 It was just the people were more real. Yeah.
It was like it was more updated to like the movies of that era, like the Morgan Freeman character. It was a fucking great movie, man.

Speaker 1 That's a great like Western movie and just a hard story, man. I like that line when you go in there to get those people that killed Morgan Freeman.
You just shot an unknown man.

Speaker 1 He should have armed himself. Yeah.
If he's going to decorate his place with a friend of mine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was a hardcore movie, man. That was a hardcore movie.
You saw the...

Speaker 1 But isn't it funny that we always want to think about that kind of shit happening out west?

Speaker 1 We don't want to believe that that kind of same shit was happening out east. There are animals everywhere.
Animals.

Speaker 1 Animals. People were animals back then.
They were barely human. Hang them high.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine if we had to do fucking stand-up in 1820?

Speaker 1 You imagine, first of all, you're getting sick everywhere because there's no sewage. So everybody's just got shit in the streets.
Everywhere you go, you're breathing shit fumes.

Speaker 1 You're stepping in shit everywhere. That's what I think about now.
When I watch those movies now, like Gangs in New York. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I looked over somebody, man, it fucking stinks. Oh, wow.
Right there. People are like ignoring the fucking stink.
There's a rotting body right there. Bro, it probably was so ranked.
Fuck it.

Speaker 1 They didn't have anywhere to get rid of their shit.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 that little napkin that they had on the you know the the big white wig people they had like a little cankerchief but and they would just carry it bro just to and they would have perfume on it they would put in their nose so they wouldn't have to smell like oh the poor people well it wasn't just that man it was the shit in the streets because they didn't have cars so they had horses the horses would shit all over the roads and nobody had a job picking it up yet oh dude one job was someone would just put down like a cankerchief so you could walk over it for

Speaker 1 five bucks across the board. Just fucking clean it up, you lazy bitch.

Speaker 1 And throwing like shit water out of a pan. Look at this.

Speaker 1 That's all shit. That's all shit.

Speaker 1 Imagine breathing that every day. There's no way that's good for you.
You think scented candles are bad for you?

Speaker 1 Imagine the people that lived back then. You weren't us complain.
You weren't about ultra-raise.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 Poop once flowed freely in the streets of New York.

Speaker 1 Look, that was a poop pipe that would go right down the street. Jesus Christ.
Oh, man, when I was at my grandma's house in Mexico, they still had an outhouse.

Speaker 1 They didn't have no plumbing. Bro, isn't it interesting? Because this is a terrible way to live that people insisted on doing it this way.

Speaker 1 I was thinking the day that they figured it out, you'd be like, oh, my God, what the? But imagine, because you had to figure it out to get it to where it is now, right?

Speaker 1 So people had to go through that to get to the Manhattan of today, where it's all super sophisticated, amazing hotels, amazing restaurants. But why would you stick around

Speaker 1 if you're breathing in shit every day? Every day. You go live on a farm.
I'd be like, fuck this experiment. This is terrible.
This is not for us. This is for the benefit of people in the future.

Speaker 1 We're destroying. Soil men who carted away America's waste.
Bro, you know how sick people must have been back then? No antibiotics. Everybody's breathing in shit.

Speaker 1 You fall, you slip, you skin your knee. Your knee gets infected with staph.
You die. Oh, man.
You got shit in your knee.

Speaker 1 That's what it says.

Speaker 1 People were gagging as this cart would walk by. Oh, God.

Speaker 1 On a summer day in 1873, a cart stood on 6th Avenue in New York City, filled to the brink with raw human waste.

Speaker 1 The cart was uncovered, its contents exposed to the air and to the passersby who retched and gagged as they scurried away.

Speaker 1 Excrement dipped off the sides of the cart, and the sidewalks and gutters were smeared with the stuff. The

Speaker 1 stench was so strong that it could be smelled from more than a block away. It was another day in pre-sewer America.
Bro. Meanwhile, you're reading.
Here's the thing, man. This is after the Civil War.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This is 1873.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 you're in Italy reading books talking about the streets are made of gold. Yeah.
Night soil. They call it night soil.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they used it for

Speaker 1 fucking

Speaker 1 I mean, they used it for compost, right?

Speaker 1 Oh, so just a name euphemistically given a human waste because it was removed from the privies under the cloak of darkness so that polite society would be spared from confronting its own feces as the men carted the crap away, leaving a trail of stench in their wake.

Speaker 1 Every year in cities across the country, thousands of carts brimming with excrement rattled through the night streets. There was an antiquated solution to a modern problem.

Speaker 1 America's cities were full of crap. So the people were just throwing the shit in the streets.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, how much could those guys get paid? It's not possible. It's shitty.
They got paid shitty.

Speaker 1 What a shitty job.

Speaker 1 Imagine being at a bar? I can't imagine one. Look at them being horrible.
Oh,

Speaker 1 barrels. Oh, you get a horse-pulled wagon filled with shit.
That is so crazy.

Speaker 1 So living back then was hell, bro. We're so lucky.
And that's how they're going to look at us. These future beings that no longer have war, they no longer have greed or anger.

Speaker 1 These future beings that are connected to the hive mind, they're going to look back at us like Phillips.

Speaker 1 We're living like idiots.

Speaker 1 One of the dumping grounds was a field near the White House where a marsh of Washtonian waste putrefied under the president's nose.

Speaker 1 This suggests that this may have been a contributing factor to President Harris's untimely death in 1841, since the White House water source was a mere seven blocks downstream.

Speaker 1 They killed the president with shit water.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. He died of dysentery.

Speaker 1 Bro, this is why you can't trust that the experts are looking out for your health. They didn't even protect the president.

Speaker 1 Somebody concocted this idea, and they never even thought about the potential for ruining all the water that people drink. They just said, this is a good place to dump all this.

Speaker 1 How nasty. People are so nasty.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. I also think about...

Speaker 1 That's so nasty. And condos back then were probably still sheep's wool, right? Sheepskin.
Sheepskin, sheep intestines. I saw a movie where a woman, a guy, a woman

Speaker 1 was washing the

Speaker 1 contraceptive

Speaker 1 right after this white wig guy threw it at her face. Wow.

Speaker 1 So she's using the same same one for every man. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Christ.

Speaker 1 So they didn't have, even by the 1880s, two-thirds of flushing toilets still just went into a backyard cesspool.

Speaker 1 Read this part here. Overflowing privy was a sight to behold.

Speaker 1 In James McCabb's 1882 account of New York street life, he described one man's yard in which the privy's contents drained down into a street sewer, forming a miniature, loathsome Niagara of night soil.

Speaker 1 Niagara.

Speaker 1 The cascading sewage flowed right by the window so that a young man so that a man sitting on a chair at the window would not have to only would not have only the odor, but also the views of this loathsome matter circulating at his feet in the pool below.

Speaker 1 Yeah, see, this is why everybody was so sick.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 probably thought of the plague. Well, also, like, there's no fucking,

Speaker 1 no one's clean.

Speaker 1 Cholera outbreak, 1849.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they say that is the biggest breakthrough ever in the

Speaker 1 controlling of diseases.

Speaker 1 The biggest breakthrough is sanitation. I was just thinking about healthy sanitation.

Speaker 1 Using these words, dumping grounds in this time period, too, this is the same time those bones were dumped in the East River with who knows what.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's not enough vaccines in the world to protect you when you're living like that. You know?

Speaker 1 Imagine the pharmaceutical drug companies would try to sell you if you were living like that, and they figured out how to counteract all the different things that you're inhaling in the air from human shit.

Speaker 1 That is so nasty, man. So nasty.

Speaker 1 Killed bodies.

Speaker 1 Imagine him getting up in the morning. Waking up in the morning.
Good morning, everybody. I'm glad you just said that about dumping bodies because this is a thing I need to send you, Jamie.

Speaker 1 I'm so glad you brought that up because I read this. I don't want to fuck this up.
I want to figure out what the fuck this actually means.

Speaker 1 Here, I'm going to send this to you, Jeremy. It's about

Speaker 1 liquid human remains.

Speaker 1 Liquid human remains?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, with this article saying, oh, it's like an Instagram thing.

Speaker 1 Then being fed back to the population via fertilizer on crops. That?

Speaker 1 So he's making porcelain with people.

Speaker 1 I hope it's not true. Making menudo with people or what? I don't know.

Speaker 1 It sounded like they were using it for fertilizer, using people for fertilizer and using people for supplements somehow or another. Like, how are they saying you're boiling down a human body?

Speaker 1 Are they compensating the family? I don't know, but also this, there's no DNA. So what did you need the body for?

Speaker 1 The whole body's DNA. Like, what are you saying? There's no DNA.
So what did you, you broke it down to chemicals, so now it's okay?

Speaker 1 So you broke the human body, the container of a soul, down to chemicals, and you're going to pour it on your flowers, and that's okay? That seems weird. I know it's all made up.
It seems weird.

Speaker 1 Like, what do you, how the fuck? We should find out how the fuck they do it. Is there a video we can watch on them doing it?

Speaker 1 And how do they liquefy them with hot water? It said hot water and something else. They added some other stuff, too.

Speaker 1 But whatever, man. What do we, what the fuck? Is this it?

Speaker 1 Five years ago. Oh, my God.
The most eco. Let's listen to this.
Wow. Can we? No.

Speaker 1 Do they put them in there alive?

Speaker 1 No, Felipe, these are dead bodies. They're just cooking them.
Cooking them up nice. And that's what they get? Like little bones and pieces.

Speaker 1 Well, I want to be cremated, but if that's an option,

Speaker 1 you're just talking about it. Yeah, but you don't want your body being resold as fertilizer.
It's just weird to pour dead people on top of your fucking carrots so they grow better.

Speaker 1 Sprinkle meat.

Speaker 1 What are they breaking it down to? What are they breaking the human body down to that's valuable for them to do that?

Speaker 1 Like, what is the stuff they're looking for? Let's find that out. First of all, we don't even know if it's true.
Yeah, no, I wouldn't take that as truth. I wouldn't even believe that.

Speaker 1 How would they how would this can you Google and see if there's other stories that say that?

Speaker 1 I'm looking Google. Okay, I'm not pushing you.

Speaker 1 I gotta read. Oh, I understand.

Speaker 1 Whatever it is, it seems like...

Speaker 1 You're supposed to leave people alone when they're dead. Okay, we're supposed to be different than everything else on the planet.
We love each other more than we love anything else.

Speaker 1 You can use monkeys for experiments, but some states allow the remaining liquid with its peptides, sugars, amino acids, and captured carbon to be reclaimed and repurposed as fertilizer. Yo.

Speaker 1 Yo.

Speaker 1 They're turning. Do they have to tell you, like, how they have to tell you if you're going to buy a haunted house?

Speaker 1 Do they have to, you know, if there's a house where someone killed his whole family in it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 They have to tell you that. You see that oak tree? That's Joe Diaz, by the way.
What? No,

Speaker 1 they're making it into

Speaker 1 soil, right?

Speaker 1 Oh, right. So you see that oak tree right there? We use the Joey Diaz.
But you do with particles. That's right, Cox Agas.

Speaker 1 Do you think they have to tell you, though, that you're buying dead people fertilizer, or they just consider it chemicals at that point?

Speaker 1 How do they get away with selling you dead people? Because it seems like if you had the option, hey, do you want like manure?

Speaker 1 Whoa! Patents in 1888.

Speaker 1 They've been boiling people and turning them into fertilizer since the 1800s.

Speaker 1 So we have that machine, but not no fucking sewage.

Speaker 1 Wow. I'm trying to find out where they say that they've used it for other stuff.
But the scary thing is them saying that they use it for calcium deficiencies.

Speaker 1 Because that means you're feeding people other people's bones so they can get a source of calcium. But that guy's vegan, so don't give it to him.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's okay because the person consented. Yeah, I'm trying to get it.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Cremation social

Speaker 1 seems like a solid place.

Speaker 1 Huh.

Speaker 1 So body plus 95% water, 5% alkaline, basic chemicals, either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide or a combo, sterile effluent, water, salts, sugars, amino acids, peptides, bone fragments, calcium phosphate.

Speaker 1 So that's what they get out of it. So they boil it down in this solution and they get out all these different things, water, salt, sugar, amino acids, peptides, and then calcium phosphate.

Speaker 1 And then I guess what do they do with the calcium? So if you're buying calcium and you find out it's from dead people,

Speaker 1 they should probably

Speaker 1 let you know. You probably should have to let people know that.

Speaker 1 I drink dead people. You would sell a lot if you made it from dead people for sure.
Like if you had a skull and crossbones on the bottle, there's a lot of assholes who would buy that.

Speaker 1 But then people start

Speaker 1 looking at that like they'd look at check out how was he raised?

Speaker 1 What kind of pairs did he have? Oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you're really into it. Does he have anxiety problems?

Speaker 1 Are you really into eating someone? What if they were a fucked up person and you take a little bit of their soul inside of you and you go insane? Bro.

Speaker 1 Be crazy, man. Well, that's got to be what's happening with the cannibals when they get that disease and

Speaker 1 they get shaky.

Speaker 1 The prion disease that they get from eating each other.

Speaker 1 Does Jeffrey Dahmer have that? I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I think you have to eat spinal tissue. You have to eat brain and spinal tissue.
And

Speaker 1 they're called prions. And the thing about prions is you can't even boil them.

Speaker 1 If you cook them at like a thousand degrees, I think, for like hours, it doesn't kill them.

Speaker 1 If you ever get to invite to a restaurant, they tell you we just served your human being, would you eat it? No.

Speaker 1 Why would I eat a person? Or would they tell you after mad you just ate a

Speaker 1 decomposed acraline body that we made into chicken?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wouldn't like that. Would you like that, Felipe?

Speaker 1 Hell no.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it would be weird. Needs more salt, please.
Remember that movie, Soylent Green? Do you remember that movie? No. It was an

Speaker 1 old-timey science fiction movie. But people were being fed Soilent Green, and then this guy figures out that Soylent Green is made out of people.

Speaker 1 And they're serving people like this fucking protein biscuit that's made out of humans. Oh, it sucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but there's people that would do that. Is that the one? It's the old movie, right? There's people that would do that.
Do they end with a woman boiling a foot? Ooh, I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 Maybe. I don't remember.
It was a long time ago. I just remember the premise of the movie.
I probably haven't seen that movie in 20 plus years. I saw one where a guy

Speaker 1 was called Microwave Massacre. Microwave Massacre? And this guy murders his wife.
In a microwave? No, he cuts her pieces and microwaves the body and makes lunches, and he takes them to work every day.

Speaker 1 Wait, this is a real guy? Real movie. Wait, a real movie or a real person? It's a real movie called Microwave Massacre, but it's probably based on a real guy.

Speaker 1 And he would take food that he made from people he murdered, and they would eat it at work. And then when they finally caught him, everybody at work was throwing up.

Speaker 1 I think there was a woman who got caught eating her husband and serving him to the neighbors.

Speaker 1 Wow. How much do you have to hate that dude to serve him to your neighbors? How much do you hate your neighbors? Say, I'm going to watch these motherfuckers eat my husband.

Speaker 1 I'm going to cook it up nice.

Speaker 1 Cook up that ass cheek. Turn it up.
You really like my husband.

Speaker 1 You're going to love this dish. This is his favorite.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ. I'm in a consomme for him, too.
Consomme. A nice bone broth.
Good for the soul. Yeah, so that's where that shit comes from.
Preons.

Speaker 1 They're scary.

Speaker 1 That's mad cow disease. That's what

Speaker 1 cannibals get. It's a very sketchy disease.
And there's another one right now that deers have. It's called chronic wasting disease.

Speaker 1 Same kind of deal. It's a prion disease.
And deers are getting it, and they froth at the mouth and drool, and

Speaker 1 their body shrivels up. It's very creepy, man.
You can eat those? No. You can, because there's no crossover to people, but I wouldn't suggest it.
I wouldn't recommend it. I mean,

Speaker 1 I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 The thing is, you can test, and you can find out if your deer is okay. Like, you can shoot them and then test them, and then you know you're good to go, and you can eat the deer.

Speaker 1 But if it tests positive, it hasn't jumped from animal to people, it's only an animal. But what it does to animals is so grave.
Why would you take that chance? This is how I feel.

Speaker 1 Why would you take a chance of consuming an animal that literally has the plague inside of it?

Speaker 1 Because for deer, that's the plague.

Speaker 1 These deer, I mean, they're not even. See, the thing, like, with people, a disease like that would spread like wildfire, right?

Speaker 1 With deer, they're out in these big, giant open areas, and yet still it's spreading from their saliva onto leaves, and then other deer pick it up.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's um, it's super fucking contagious, and it kills the shit out of them. And if that jumps to people, that's a real problem.

Speaker 1 That's a real fucking problem because I don't know if they have uh medication that combats it in deer.

Speaker 1 I don't know what research they've done and trying to figure it out, but I know it's it's such a problem that there's a lot of places where they're killing extra deer just to try to keep the populations lower so they don't don't interact with each other as much and so they don't catch it from giving it back and forth to each other as well.

Speaker 1 And people have this right now? No humans have it yet. But I think chronic wasting disease has been, it used to be one type of deer.
I'm not sure what deer it started out with.

Speaker 1 It might have been mule deer. But it's in a lot of white-tailed deer in America.
And apparently it's made its way into other ungulates. Like I think it's in elk.

Speaker 1 And I think they might have even found it in moose. It's scary shit, man, because it's basically a zombie virus.
It turns you into a fucking skeleton and you waste away. Yeah, it's horrific.
And it's

Speaker 1 probably some of it came from farms because they think that that's one of the ways that it's spread. Like, there's a lot of deer farms that do a great job.
They're very ethical.

Speaker 1 So if you wanted a property and you wanted your own private hunting property and you wanted to put a high fence up, take care of the ground, put food plots in there for the animals.

Speaker 1 This is how you, you know, you got a thousand acres, you want to fence it all in. Like, you can do that in Texas, and you can buy deer.

Speaker 1 So you say, okay, I want to buy, you know, like 20 white-tailed deer and let them loose on my property. You know, you got this thousand-acre spot or wherever you're at.

Speaker 1 If you get a deer that is from a farm that's unethical, they're all going to be stacked next to each other just like pigs.

Speaker 1 When you watch fucking factory farming for pigs, they're going to be corralled and shitty. Most of them don't do this, but you're always going to have people that are unethical.

Speaker 1 And when people do things where diseases start getting spread and they kind of cover it up or lie about it because they don't want to lose money, and then they're sending deer around.

Speaker 1 So like there's a lot of regulations now on how you can move deer across state lines because of these diseases.

Speaker 1 If you have bad deer meat,

Speaker 1 can you cover it up with a bunch of good deer meat where that bad meat disappears?

Speaker 1 What do you mean? She say, like,

Speaker 1 because I remember myself cooking, and I had like, I spilled like a shitload of garlic on my oatmeal and I was making oatmeal for 15 motherfuckers in rehab.

Speaker 1 So I just started putting more oatmeal, more oatmeal, and more milk to hide the garlic smell.

Speaker 1 But in the end, everybody was farty anyway, so they still got it. But do people do that's what you're saying? That people do that with deer meat?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could make sauces. These are not unethical, they hide it by it.
No, no, no. See, what we're talking about, chronic wasting disease, is it's that's different.

Speaker 1 It probably wouldn't even affect the taste of the animal. They'll probably be very lean because there's not much left of them.

Speaker 1 Or they could have just gotten it and they could be healthy looking and they still have this disease. They still test positive for it.

Speaker 1 My fear would be about what that disease is going to do if it jumps to human beings. And if you're consuming it, are we sure that it just goes out of your system? Or is it just inert?

Speaker 1 It doesn't work in your system. Could it work eventually? Is it something that has an incubation period that maybe, maybe not now?

Speaker 1 Maybe it will have one in five years from now or 10 10 years from now. Maybe the version of chronic wasting disease, if it evolves and changes, is going to be making the jump to humans.

Speaker 1 That's a scary fucking disease to make the jump to humans. You know, there's a bunch of those out there.

Speaker 1 Bird flu. Yeah, man.
And then there's the ones that we make.

Speaker 1 Donarrhea.

Speaker 1 No, like COVID. They fucking made that shit in a lab.
They made it in a lab. It's spread across the whole world.
Do you think they made AIDS in a lab? Wow. Did you say like AIDS? Like AIDS.

Speaker 1 I read that somewhere. Somebody say they make all that shit in labs.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 part of

Speaker 1 chemical warfare, right? That is a part of chemical warfare, yeah. Like putting disease blankets on natives, you know, and well, they've done a bunch of fucking studies.

Speaker 1 Like, that's the biggest thing.

Speaker 1 The natives had influenza blankets. That's what they had.
Oh, yeah. No, no, no.
That was smallpox. Smallpox.

Speaker 1 But I don't know if that's even true because I don't think they really knew what like how diseases were spread back then.

Speaker 1 I don't think they knew that you could just like put scabs on a blanket and give people smallpox. And if you had smallpox, are you trying to dish out smallpox?

Speaker 1 Are you trying to catch it so you're handling it and then putting it in blankets? It seems like an exaggerated cruelty of what happened.

Speaker 1 And what happened was Europeans came over here, the Native Americans had,

Speaker 1 whatever you want to call them, the indigenous people, they did not have any

Speaker 1 immunity to smallpox. And it wiped out 90% of them.
Diseases from North Americans or from Europeans, rather, coming to North America, they wiped out everybody with disease.

Speaker 1 It's somewhere in the neighborhood of 90% of the people that were here are gone because of disease. So, you know, when people want to think that

Speaker 1 there's no way to prepare like a

Speaker 1 a group of human beings that has no immunity in, you know, 1492.

Speaker 1 There's no way to prepare. There's no way to prepare anybody.

Speaker 1 You're coming in with these stinky European streets filled with shitwater, right? Everybody's got some funky parasite and funky disease. They probably fucking stink.
They're probably infested with

Speaker 1 all the way. They probably have viruses fighting viruses inside their body, coughing phlegm and blood, and they're drinking whiskey.
And they come over to the...

Speaker 1 They're probably having sex with each other. Fuck yeah.
And it's probably none of it's consensual. It's probably animals biting each other and holding each other down, fucking each other.

Speaker 1 And then they come to North America and they start slaughtering people. And there's this one,

Speaker 1 we've talked about this before. He was like a bishop or some religious man who chronicled one of

Speaker 1 Christopher Columbus's early interactions with these people. And it's horrific shit, man.

Speaker 1 Cutting people's arms off if they don't bring back their weight and gold and dashing babies on rocks in front of their parents. Horrific shit, man.

Speaker 1 And those are the kind of people that brought those diseases. Like, you want to talk about, that's like a real demon horde.
Crazy, huh? Crazy.

Speaker 1 A real demon horde of people who come over on a boat stinking, coveted their own shit, breathing diseases on everybody.

Speaker 1 Everybody's dying. Like, wow, he's so unhealthy.
I know, man. Like,

Speaker 1 I think about

Speaker 1 that pirate,

Speaker 1 I don't know, one of the pirates. Blackbeard? Blackbeard, man.
He was full of gonorrhea. Oh, I bet.
And

Speaker 1 he would drop

Speaker 1 mercury on his penis

Speaker 1 to cure his diseases on his penis because that's all they had.

Speaker 1 What a good move. Who invented that?

Speaker 1 What asshole was like Char Mercury? He probably was on a pirate ship somewhere, met a voodoo doctor and said, hey, man,

Speaker 1 Mercury, put it on your dick. Did mercury kill his dick? Yeah.
It says,

Speaker 1 when he held prisoners for ransom, such as the governor's son during the week-long Charlestown blockade in 1718, he asked for expensive medical supplies.

Speaker 1 This included liquid mercury, which, when injected through a urethral syringe,

Speaker 1 was a common, ineffective treatment for syphilis. Injected through your P-hole with a fucking syringe.
Yo.

Speaker 1 Blackbeard had up to 14 wives in different ports. Wow.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 Well, somebody's doing a movie about that guy. Imagine, man, he had the money to put mercury on his dick.
The rest of the crew probably didn't. So they're fucking everything, man.
Fucking shit up.

Speaker 1 There's this temple in China that they are afraid to go into.

Speaker 1 They discovered it, and this emperor, when he died, was such a great emperor that he had this whole field of terracotta statues that were built that look like warriors that are guarding him.

Speaker 1 Like this crazy discovery that they had. They're giant, right? But the ground all around

Speaker 1 where this temple is

Speaker 1 tested for high levels of mercury. And the ancient story is that anybody who ever dared open up this temple, open up this tomb, rather.
where this emperor is buried will drown in mercury.

Speaker 1 I thought you were going to say they got gonorrhea. No, imagine drowning in mercury.

Speaker 1 Imagine like 2,000 years ago, a dude sets up a booby trap for greedy people and sets it up where he fills the entire tomb up with mercury. First of all, is that even possible?

Speaker 1 How much mercury would you have to handle and how many people would have to die from that mercury?

Speaker 1 Imagine where, first of all,

Speaker 1 where do they even get it? Yeah, where do they get mercury in 2,000 plus years ago? Do you know that story about that emperor and his temple? Teotihuacan, that's where it says it is.

Speaker 1 No, Teotihuacan is Aztec. I know, but it says La.
Well, this is like the Mercury found on our temple. Yeah, that's probably a common booby track, I bet.
But this one where this

Speaker 1 temple in China... On top of Google, it says Temple Drowned of Mercury refers to the Temple of Teotihuacan, Temple of the Mercury.
Can you say Temple booby-trapped with Mercury in China?

Speaker 1 I think it's like the first emperor of China. It says it too.
I mean, it says it could have been in the thing that they did

Speaker 1 then. It says it was in China.
Yeah, this is the one.

Speaker 1 So there's one that

Speaker 1 they have not entered into. I think this is the one with the terracotta statues in front of it.

Speaker 1 There's one of the, I think this is a common thing when great people died, they probably made a terracotta army for them. When they find these things, it's like

Speaker 1 you.

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 1 It's us talking about it. Crazy story of First Emperor of China's tomb.
That's me and Schultz talking about it, right?

Speaker 1 Click on that.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 it's not our video. So I'll remember.
It's not our video. It's my fucking video, bitch.

Speaker 1 Somebody else's video.

Speaker 1 Somebody else uploaded, I should say. Well, that's ridiculous, but it's ours, right? Yeah, it's what he would.
That's you. So, what is this?

Speaker 1 They would have a copyright on my voice?

Speaker 1 I don't want to get into it, but yeah, we probably have the revenues probably come into our thing because we have people claiming it, but it's up. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm bringing that up was that. A lot of the clips that I watched are from other people sharing them.
I was just saying, it's not ours, so I don't know if

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, don't put it up then.

Speaker 1 Yeah, got it. But anyway, the point is, there's a tomb in China that's supposedly booby-trapped with tons of liquid mercury.
I'm sure Jamie will find it. But

Speaker 1 this area around it apparently tests high for mercury. So they think that it might be a true story, and they don't want to go in there.
They don't want to fucking open up the door and die.

Speaker 1 Which is wild that this dude set this up, if he did, 2,000 plus years ago. I don't even remember how many thousands of years ago it was, but it was insanely impressive.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's amazing to think of something like that and it still works.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like where the, where do you think, while Jamie's looking this up, where the fuck do you think they get mercury and how much can they get? How much can they have back then?

Speaker 1 I've only seen a thermometer. I know.
Like, where are they getting it? Throughout antiquity, remember, we've talked about Cinnabar before? Cinnabar. Cinnabar.
That's from Cinnamon.

Speaker 1 It's where they got red stuff, also.

Speaker 1 Cinnabar in antiquity was the source of all mercury. So how did they do it? Little pool of it?

Speaker 1 How did they do it? Did they say how they did it? I mean, it says to extract, you need to roast it in air, converting the sulfur to sulfur dioxide.

Speaker 1 While the mercury is released as vapor, it can be then condensed. Since mercury boils at 357 Celsius, this process needs temperatures well within.

Speaker 1 They need some kilns. They had those.
Wow. So they just cooked up mercury.
It was just hard to do, but they did it. Wow.

Speaker 1 Well, if they can make a temple like this guy had, they can cook up mercury and fill that temple. That is crazy to think of.

Speaker 1 I wish maybe there's going to be a way with new technology where they can pierce into the ground, where they can see into things without having to actually go in there physically.

Speaker 1 Because I know they're doing the LIDAR stuff. I know they can kind of detect where there used to be agriculture.

Speaker 1 Someone digging into, is this claim real? And this says that even if...

Speaker 1 So even though mercury, either as a cinnabar or as the elemental metal, has been found in tombs dating as far back as the second millennium BC, it's not clear why it was put there.

Speaker 1 Might its toxicity have acted as a deterrent to grave looters? Probably not. The dangers of mercury fumes were not recognized until Han times.

Speaker 1 If so, it seems, there's a lot of mercury in the burial chamber. It's likely to be either a preservative or an anti-theft device.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 the big theory is that it's an anti-theft device, and that's why people are terrified of going in there.

Speaker 1 Hold it right here.

Speaker 1 Based on estimates of mercury production from the Song era and allowing for the imperfections of the earlier refinement process, he thinks the chamber might have contained at most 100 tons of the liquid metal.

Speaker 1 Holy shit.

Speaker 1 100 tons.

Speaker 1 How did Blackbeard find this shit?

Speaker 1 Well, that wasn't Blackbeard. That was China.

Speaker 1 a how do you find mercury back then? That's probably

Speaker 1 their final device. Shiver me timbers.
They probably had a bot. Oh, they have like a look at that.
That was the device they stuck on their dick. Oh my god.
And that's a saying, right?

Speaker 1 Shiver me timbers?

Speaker 1 That seems surprised or shocked? I think they're saying that just for funsies. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they found this in a wreck.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. This guy had a mercury

Speaker 1 syringe in a wreck for my pee-pee. And look, it's all rough looking.

Speaker 1 It's not even polished good. Man, you probably draw it into the map.
Don't go over there, man. If you're going to go to this island, take lots of mercury.
Meanwhile, they all died from that, right?

Speaker 1 Syphilis. Look at this.
A pump cluster, which would have been to use pump fluid into the rectum, allowing the body to quickly absorb it.

Speaker 1 They were taking

Speaker 1 animals? They're boofing. They're boofing.
So they were doing that for drugs?

Speaker 1 Pump liquid into the red.

Speaker 1 Yeah, liquid into the rectum. Well, aren't people doing that with like moonshine? Don't they pour moonshine in their asshole? This is what I heard.
They pour coffee, no.

Speaker 1 I heard people take tampons filled with vodka and stuff them in their asshole. I mean, they've been doing it since the days of the pirates, so it's not new.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 Bro, what the fuck is wrong with people?

Speaker 1 It's severe dehydration by pumping. Please put liquid on that.

Speaker 1 People like putting stuff on their buttons. And also a bloodletting instrument called a porringer.

Speaker 1 I had a buddy of mine, and he did his medical residency in Miami in the 1980s during the cocaine times. And he said, Dude, that's where he did his residency show.
He was in the emergency room.

Speaker 1 So it's like every day someone's coming in with something stuffed up their ass. They're coke die of their mind.
They got G.I. Joe stuffed up their ass.

Speaker 1 He found people with light bulbs, those like twisty pine cone-looking light bulbs stuck up their ass. Damn.
For all kinds of things stuck up their ass.

Speaker 1 I did a show at Lumpuck State Penitentiary, and one of the guards told me that some guy made a vibrator out of seven hand balls.

Speaker 1 You know, the ones, the void, and

Speaker 1 he taped them all up. And then, um, what happened? How do you guys know?

Speaker 1 Well, he didn't tie them up too good, and they were all stuck in there. He had to take them all out.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 He didn't tie them up good. Yeah, he didn't put enough wrapping, I guess.
No, so they had to go in his butt and get all those balls? Yeah. How many were in there?

Speaker 1 Like five, whatever, whatever, how many balls make this?

Speaker 1 And you thought he was hiding a knife.

Speaker 1 That's a hard way to go, too, because sometimes people die that way. You get, you know, toxic shock, something goes wrong, you tear your rectum, you bleed out internally.

Speaker 1 Toughen things up your ass. Like the Mr.
Hand story. You know the Mr.
Hand story, right? No. There's a whole movie based on it called Zoo.
Zoo is

Speaker 1 a thing called zoophilia, where people are sexually attracted to farm animals. And so these people met up online and they found out that you're still allowed to fuck animals in Washington State.

Speaker 1 So they all went to Washington State. This is the most Washington State, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bay country story. Oh, right.
And this dude got fucked to death by a horse. They bring him to the emergency room.
Like, what's going on? And everyone's acting a little shifty.

Speaker 1 And then they have to tell the whole story. And they find out these people have like hundreds of hours of people getting fucked by donkeys and horses and shit.
And they all did this out on this

Speaker 1 weird ranch.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah.
You know, one of the

Speaker 1 dude died. One of the first books, you know, they used to be a lot of sex books when we were kids.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they were all nasty books about sex. Yeah.
The first one I ever read was about people having sex with animals. Oh, yeah.
But there were like, remember those penthouse stories or Playboy stories?

Speaker 1 But they were all with animals. And I remember the woman.

Speaker 1 Telling this whole story about having sex with a horse.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ. And like just

Speaker 1 riding that fool.

Speaker 1 You never see the Mr. Hands video.
There's a video, one video that got leaked online way back in the day. Brian Redband sent it to me.
And it's this dude getting railed by the horse.

Speaker 1 And it's not even the one where he dies, apparently. He dies in another video.

Speaker 1 But in this video, you see the size of the horse's dick and you see his body and you see his ass and you're like, there's no way. How many people helped him? Because it's something that's one guy.

Speaker 1 One guy grabbed it and just pointed it in the right direction. And the horse was one gigantic thrust of death.
And the guy makes this horrible sound. And then his friend goes, too much.

Speaker 1 And then his friend is like, oh, he came. He came.
The horse came. And you're like, this is the sickest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
And that's how that guy died.

Speaker 1 That guy in that video that's getting fucked by that horse was the guy who eventually dies from it. Did they put the horse to sleep afterwards? I don't think so.
It's not the horse's fault.

Speaker 1 The fuck did the horse do? The horse is going to, you know, I wouldn't bend over in front of him.

Speaker 1 He's kind of, right? He's kind of conditioned now. It's not his fault.
Kind of says they only found out about all this because he died. Yes, like, yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, but it's like, it's just yeah, was that his first time or the try with ponies first?

Speaker 1 No, he had been fucked by a bunch of horses or a bunch of times by the same horse, but there was apparently many hours of this guy getting fucked by horses.

Speaker 1 200 VHS tapes and DVDs. But it's real, right? It's not like an urban legend like when people say I went to TJ and saw a donkey show.
You want to see it? No. You're going to show it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is still my old computer, I guess.

Speaker 1 Do you have it? You can still get it, right? I don't know where to look. I'll look.
I bet you could get it. I bet if you put it up on X.
X is one of the few places where...

Speaker 1 Actually, it's actually illegal. So maybe you can't have it on X.
Hold on.

Speaker 1 Because bestiality...

Speaker 1 Well, it wasn't illegal when they were doing it, though. Yeah.
There's a point. Kind of.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 that's called bestiality when you have sex with an animal.

Speaker 1 It's called you're fucking gross. And what's the one when you have sex with dead bodies?

Speaker 1 That is

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 Don't look on X for that. Yeah, you can't find an X.
It's a different search result that pops up. Oh, yeah, they probably game the search results now, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of

Speaker 1 21 and older material that we're talking about. People have said with animals, right? Like, since you want to talk about gangs of New York, how ugly it was.
Right.

Speaker 1 People just fucked everything that was in front of them.

Speaker 1 You found it? Okay. Here it is.
Headphones, please. We'll make sure it.
Oh. Yeah, there it is, man.
I mean, you verify that that's it? Oh, that's 100% it. Okay.
Absolutely. Go full screen.

Speaker 1 And don't show it on screen at all.

Speaker 1 Somebody mute the sound when we play this? Nope. Nope.
Let's hear it.

Speaker 1 No, hold on. Okay, take it.

Speaker 1 It's on a porn side, I guess. Here we go.
Here's the sound.

Speaker 1 That's reverse him. So that's the guy's butt.
The horse gets on top of him. And then the guy grabs it.
Look at this. Watch this.
Look at the distance.

Speaker 1 Look at the amount of tissue we're talking about here. Watch this.

Speaker 1 Watch over.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 This is on a loop. This is repeating.
This is repeating, yeah. Yeah, this is already.

Speaker 1 The whole thing really only lasts a couple of seconds. Wow.

Speaker 1 That guy died. That guy has no idea.
The movie's fascinating because the movie is like a documentary sort of recreation of those people. And it's not like that.

Speaker 1 You don't see things, but you just see how fucking bananas the whole thing is. Is that horse is known for that, or do you think he drive a random horse?

Speaker 1 Because he seemed to know what he was doing, bro. Well, he probably been fucking that guy for a long time.
They probably been doing doing it. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Like, it killed him one day, but I think he had done it. I don't know if you've seen that, right? No, no, no.
We've had enough. Peto come after us.
We've had enough.

Speaker 1 No, who knows what I was really showing? Yeah, we were just making noises for tunes.

Speaker 1 That is.

Speaker 1 Mr.

Speaker 1 My name is Mr. Red.
There's people out there that are out of their fucking minds.

Speaker 1 They're out of their fucking minds. You're getting fucked to death by a horse in a grainy video.
You know, like,

Speaker 1 what is life for you?

Speaker 1 That would be crazy. That's your thing.
You're getting off work at five. And I think the guy who died was an intelligent guy.

Speaker 1 Wasn't he an engineer? He worked at Boeing for over eight years, yeah. Bro, he was a Boeing engineer who liked to get fucked to death by a horse.
That horse's dick is as long as an arm.

Speaker 1 Look at how long that dick is. Oh, like long dong silver.
Do you see the size of that thing? It was like 17 and a half inches. It was gigantic.
It's probably bigger than that.

Speaker 1 When it goes into his body,

Speaker 1 where's the room? Where's the space?

Speaker 1 How? How do you

Speaker 1 warm up to it? I guess you start with fingers.

Speaker 1 Then you move up to ketchup bottles. The ability to experience certain sensations after a motorcycle accident.

Speaker 1 Oh, so that was the only way you could feel things? I started going ham. Oh, God.
That's terrifying. That's terrifying.
I don't know why I started filming it, though.

Speaker 1 Well, you know what? That also kind of makes sense, right? Because we've talked about this many times about brain injuries.

Speaker 1 About people with brain injuries, they get very impulsive and they do reckless things. That totally makes sense.
This guy had a motorcycle accident that fucked up the way he feels thing.

Speaker 1 He probably got wrecked. That's crazy, bro.
So if he got wrecked, he probably got a brain injury and it probably turned him into a wild man. I twisted my ankle, man.

Speaker 1 Now I want a moose to fuck me in the ass.

Speaker 1 You want to get fucked to death by a wild animal. you want to be the first guy to get butt fucked by a bear

Speaker 1 yeah but you you you break your brain in that way like for some people they're just different now yeah now they're different i've seen it happen to a bunch of dudes when they've been knocked out

Speaker 1 been knocked out really bad but that's kids who get like get knocked out the fuck out and you wake up it goes is there a horse nearby because i'm really horny right now well who knows what's going on with the chemistry of your brain you just want

Speaker 1 experience you want excitement. You want to see if you can suck a horse's car.

Speaker 1 But that goes back to your old joke, man. The old joke to say, hey, you take a break today.

Speaker 1 Yeah, take a day off. You know, next thing when you had that joke about up in the Playboy Mansion, and you said that, what's his name? Well, whatever.

Speaker 1 He would have, every once in a while, a gay will pop in. And then he goes, and then the punchline goes, nah, man, you take a break.

Speaker 1 Don't start fucking guys. Take a break.
You you take a break. Yeah, relax.
You're a little crazy. Yeah,

Speaker 1 you're fucking 10 shakes a day. You know that for a guy.
You take a break. I think for some people with brain injuries, though, they get addicted to skydiving.
They get addicted to gambling.

Speaker 1 They get addicted to really reckless behavior. Give abuse within a head injury, right? Oh, bad one.
I wonder what he's up to. He looks like he's been in an accident.

Speaker 1 He fell on a motorcycle and hit his head on the curb with no helmet on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a bad one. So California didn't used to have a helmet law back then.
It was because of him, though. Well, I don't know if it's because of him.

Speaker 1 He started a big push

Speaker 1 to help that.

Speaker 1 So he helped it, but I know that people wanted help.

Speaker 1 I'm torn on that shit. It's like, yeah, you should have helmet laws because there's 18-year-old boys out there that can have motorcycles, and that's fucking crazy.
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 I am so glad that when I was 18, I never got a fucking motorcycle.

Speaker 1 Once you've thought of a motorcycle, like at 70 miles an hour with a helmet, it's like nothing, right you don't knock nothing depends on how you fall how you fall right yeah you might slide if you slide you probably just get your skin ripped from your body did you survive it yeah well just woke up to a fetish

Speaker 1 yeah but that's the thing man if you get really banged you could have some screwy brain waves after that you know and you could think everyone's out to get you you could like people get real weird they get real weird and they feel like extra vulnerable because they you know their brain's not working the same anymore so they don't know who they are anymore they don't feel like they used to feel yeah they start start to feel crazy, you know, and they start thinking no one wants to help them.

Speaker 1 You start getting real angry and real negative,

Speaker 1 and then you get fucked by a horse.

Speaker 1 It's just

Speaker 1 out of all the things that you could be doing, that that's how you chose to go out. All these things that you could be doing,

Speaker 1 you know, you could be seeing the world.

Speaker 1 He said, Nah, I want to see biscuits. You could be a food blogger, nah,

Speaker 1 ponies,

Speaker 1 You could be a fashion influencer. Nope.
Nah, I want to be Willie Shoemaker. I want to get taken out by a horse.
Le Black Stallion. In some dirty barn somewhere.

Speaker 1 That's where you breathe your last breath. In a dirty barn with horse jizz in your asshole.
Who did a friend do?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 They freaked out. They brought him to the hospital.
They tried to drop him off. Then the cops start questioning him, I believe.
I'm paraphrasing for sure. But I think that's how they got busted.

Speaker 1 They brought off the guy, and he's got a giant hole in his asshole.

Speaker 1 He's pale like a sheet.

Speaker 1 They're like, what?

Speaker 1 Why is he, why is the inside of his body missing? Why does he have a fucking telephone pole? Why could we see his shoes through his mouth? What is going on with this dude? What did you do?

Speaker 1 What'd you do?

Speaker 1 That story about Jimi Hendrix still freaks me out. I think

Speaker 1 I've been thinking about the entire time we've been talking.

Speaker 1 I go back to the idea of them just pouring pills down the greatest guitarist of all time's mouth and then just pouring jugs of wine down, holding him down, and that's how he dies.

Speaker 1 Mother fucker, that's scary.

Speaker 1 His manager, mother.

Speaker 1 Fucker.

Speaker 1 His U.S. manager said the story is not true just for

Speaker 1 that. I would say that too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would say that too. I mean, I don't know if it's true.
Who fucking knows? But the idea, and he did, but he definitely did die. And he definitely did die by asphyxiation.

Speaker 1 Some people say also, like, that the CIA did it. Jimi Hendrix?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I haven't heard that one.
But if anything happens, people always think the CIA was involved somehow. Anything, no matter what it is, right? Yeah.
Pretty much. They always say that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't trust nothing. Secret agent, man.
Yeah, it's either them or it's China or it's Russia. Who's really sending me this text telling me that I'm qualified for the $4,000 in savings?

Speaker 1 You know those texts you get? Like, who's sending those? Whose texts? You know those texts that you get? Like, like random texts? Hey, congratulations. You receive approval for your loan.

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't get those you don't get those I get them from for a dude named Ray So Ray had my fucking phone number before I got Ray Ray and fucking Ray Ray must have signed up to every goddamn list Ray must have put in that number every chance he could I keep getting these fucking text messages for Ray and it's all like loans and you qualify for this and you're this is available.

Speaker 1 We're looking for someone to hire those weird scams. You qualify for aluminum sightings.
I don't understand how they can't stop that from happening. It seems weird that you get so many of them.

Speaker 1 You get so many of these scam things where they get a hold of your phone number and just spam you lies.

Speaker 1 I think they think you get to a certain age, 50, and they think you're gullible to these tricks now. Well, I think young people are gullible, too.

Speaker 1 They send it to 22-year-olds, hey, man, you want to fix your loan, your home? I don't even have a home.

Speaker 1 If you're dumb, if you're dumb and you're 22 and you get something that you qualified for 4,000, oh shit, they think this is me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take that money. And then, you know, whatever the fuck they do.
I don't know what they do.

Speaker 1 There was a guy in La LA that was calling women at their jobs and telling them they had won something, and he convinced them to cut their heels off their shoes.

Speaker 1 And he, what, film it? No, he was just calling them out randomly. Hey, you just won, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 All you got to do is cut your heels off your shoes shoes right now. And women were doing it, and he called a bunch of chicks, and they all just fucked up their shoes for nothing.
Oh, what an asshole.

Speaker 1 It's funny, but it's that person was me, and I wasn't, but it was somebody. It's a rude thing to do to a lady.
Especially if it's your favorite shoes and you only have one pair. Not my red bottoms.

Speaker 1 Bro, shoes are hard to get. Those bitches are expensive, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why aren't we so lucky we don't have to wear shoes that hurt? Girls wear shoes that hurt. They can only wear them for so long.
Like, I can't imagine.

Speaker 1 I don't even like wearing things other than sneakers. Yeah.
Or like a comfortable boot. Like, you know, I got a pair, a couple pairs of these origin boots.

Speaker 1 They're real comfortable, easy to walk around in, like nice, smooth leather. Have they ever had boots?

Speaker 1 Boots are great, but the point is...

Speaker 1 I never had cowboy boots. I've had Doc Martin, but not cowboy boots.
The point is, they don't hurt to wear. But ladies are always wearing shoes that hurt.

Speaker 1 What crazy choice? Five-inch heels. Stilettos.
That's probably why they have better pain tolerance, too. They have to give birth and they wear shoes that hurt all the time.

Speaker 1 So they have to deal with pain.

Speaker 1 We're so lucky we don't have any of that stupid shit.

Speaker 1 Imagine if we had to wear makeup every day. Imagine what it'd be like.
Like Felipe, what have you done to your eyes? I don't know, man. I put mercury on them.
Isn't that interesting?

Speaker 1 Like, women all I mean, most, a lot, let's say a lot of women, wear makeup every day. Or wake up makeup regularly.
On a regular basis, they wear makeup. It's not a very rare occasion thing.

Speaker 1 Most, I don't know what the number is. Want to find out? Let's Google it.
Because that's probably, a lot of that stuff's probably not healthy for you either, right? What's in those colors?

Speaker 1 What kind of dyes are they using? The red dye, huh? Like, what is all that stuff made out of? Are we sure? I mean, maybe some of it's really good for you. Maybe some of it's terrible for you.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's just like the scented candle.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know. The lipsticks,

Speaker 1 well, the native lipsticks is made out of smashed little bugs. Yeah, that's one of the red dye things.

Speaker 1 Smashed little bugs. You put them right here.
Can't be bad for you, right?

Speaker 1 It couldn't be better than a horse up your ass. So what percentage? 43% reported.

Speaker 1 Okay, 43% of U.S. women reported wearing makeup daily or weekly, but it doesn't break out the daily portion explicitly.

Speaker 1 Rewinding to 2019, the same source noted a higher share of women wearing makeup daily, Gen Z 18 to 24 at 30%, and millennials, 25 to 34, at 35%,

Speaker 1 suggesting a decline over time. Separate 2023 YouGov poll of 1,000 U.S.

Speaker 1 women found that 38% wear makeup at least a few times a week or daily, with older women 65 plus being the most likely to wear it daily compared to younger groups.

Speaker 1 They probably all wore it daily back in the day, right? You got to keep up your looks, Gladys. Go back up again, please.

Speaker 1 Another study from 2017 by Statista indicated 41% of U.S. women aged 30 to 59 wear makeup daily.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was a woman back in the, I don't know if it was the 1800 or 1900, she was the first woman to make a woman's magazine on clothing and home gardening, how to cook.

Speaker 1 She was the first lady to put recipes in a magazine. Oh, yeah.
Kind of like for a homemaker. Right.
And then,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 there was a magazine back then. I don't know what the name of the magazine, but.
Jamie, Google is makeup bad for you.

Speaker 1 what do you think

Speaker 1 uh google is makeup toxic when i was a kid my seventh grade teacher thought it was bad put on don't put on that makeup young girl

Speaker 1 toxic makeup for sure

Speaker 1 are the in what are the what are the ingredients in makeup that are toxic like the odd wizard of oz guy got

Speaker 1 oh that's right the lady with the green makeup yes bro no the lady with the green makeup the wizard of oz or the the the tin man the witch yeah they got real sick man

Speaker 1 yes some makeup can be toxic wow

Speaker 1 Lead, mercury, and arsenic, heavy metals can be found in cosmetics. Phthalates, common contaminant in cosmetics.
Formaldehyde, a chemical found in some makeup. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 That's why a lot of comedians back then stopped blackfacing.

Speaker 1 Man, that's scary shit. That's scary shit.
I wonder if that contributes to a higher incidence of certain issues, health issues that maybe women have that use it daily. I wonder how many

Speaker 1 wonder, right? How about the people that worked the news back then in the 450? They wear a shitload of makeup. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And what the fuck kind of makeup did they have back then? That was probably all chemicals. Cake makeup, man.
Yeah, big. What the fuck? Phil Donnie.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man. Like, you don't have to wear that, ladies.

Speaker 1 We're not that complicated. Do you guys wear makeup when you do the UFC fights? No.

Speaker 1 I don't wear anything.

Speaker 1 i'm like are you crazy i have to go in there with dudes who literally have their heads split open you know i have to interview people that are soaked in blood and sometimes the blood is spitting out onto the microphone

Speaker 1 that happens all the time i get blood on me all the time like the idea of me wearing makeup to look better while i'm out there while they're dealing with people that just got their face punched in is crazy that's ridiculous i won't do it so when they're speaking to you like when you get a fighter that's real bloody like you can what's what's um because

Speaker 1 you're really up close to these guys. What do you see in their eyes after a fight like when they're and they're also bleeding, man? Do you see like

Speaker 1 you see like their intensity, man? Do you see things that other people don't see when you're interviewing them? I'm sure you see some.

Speaker 1 Because you've been in a, you're there in a fight right in front of them. Yeah, I think you're probably going to get more of a sense of how they feel after it's over.

Speaker 1 Like there's like some historic moments where you could see that when the fighter wins, it's like it's a big fucking deal.

Speaker 1 And one one of my favorite ones was when Israel Adesanya had his second UFC fight against Alex Pereira and he knocks him down, knocks him out, cold, beautiful, clean right hand, then finishes him on the ground and then fires off three arrows into his body.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I remember that guy. Yes.

Speaker 1 I mean, that was a fucking classic moment. And then he grabs a microphone and gives like one of the most inspirational speeches.

Speaker 1 Pull that speech up. Yeah.
Because it's amazing. This is my favorite moment, I think, of anybody after they won a fight.
Because it's just like, this was real

Speaker 1 in the moment from a guy who's the fucking boogeyman, dude. Alex Pereira is the boogeyman.
He's the scariest motherfucker in the sport. He knocked Izzy out twice.

Speaker 1 He left hook KO'd him in kickboxing, and then he beat him down in the UFC. And then Izzy finally knocked him out.
And when he knocked him out, when he fires those arrows into his body, and then

Speaker 1 see if you find that speech. And when you hear it, man, you're like, wow.

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 that's what makes the whole career worth it. These moments where you reach out

Speaker 1 and you touch the world. I hope every one of you can feel this level of happiness just one time in your life.

Speaker 1 You never feel this level of happiness if you don't go for something. When they knock you down, when they talk about you.
If you stay down, you will never ever get that resolve.

Speaker 1 Fortify your mind and feel this level of happiness as you rise one time in your life. But I'm blessed to be able to feel this

Speaker 1 again and again and again and again and again.

Speaker 1 Amazing. Amazing.
That's like human fuel.

Speaker 1 You hear someone saying something like that after doing something like that, that can help you all throughout your day. That's human fuel.

Speaker 1 Amazing.

Speaker 1 Amazing.

Speaker 1 If you're you're going to go, go all the way, or don't even try. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Charles Bukowski.

Speaker 1 That guy was out. If you're going to go, go all the way or don't even try.
This could mean losing girlfriends. This could mean losing wives, relatives.
This could be time spent in jail.

Speaker 1 Lonely nights in the dark. Lonely nights by yourself.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But in the end, it's all worth it. I don't know the rest.
Yeah, that's a great.

Speaker 1 He was. Did you ever see the movie they did on with Mickey Rourke? Both.
They did two movies? Who did it? They went with Matt Dylan called Factotum 2. When was that?

Speaker 1 That came out in 2000 something, and he plays them at a different.

Speaker 1 There's Barfly and there's Factotum.

Speaker 1 Factotum, he plays them at that age.

Speaker 1 He's way too handsome. Yeah, but how dare he? He plays them good.
How dare he? Yeah. He's way too handsome.
That's outrageous. Mickey Rourke made himself look fucked up until two of my friends.

Speaker 1 You know, he like. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shark brokowski is actually in bar for like he's one of the one of the drunks in the bar yeah

Speaker 1 all women in the world aren't whore

Speaker 1 just mine

Speaker 1 you ever see one of those um uh readings that he used to do he used to do these readings he'd read from his books and people would yell and he'd fucking have hecklers and shit and yell out to them he's just a a guy just constantly drunk with profound yeah man when i when i when i started reading i wanted to read books about authors that were from Los Angeles, like in the 40s and 50s, because he's from the and I said, I gotta find something that

Speaker 1 talks about Los Angeles, these streets that I live in. And that was Charles Bukowski.
He writes about Los Angeles, and I found out that his inspiration was a guy named

Speaker 1 oh man, what's his name?

Speaker 1 He writes just like Charles Bukowski.

Speaker 1 He wrote a book called Ask the Dust and The Adventures of Arturo Bandini.

Speaker 1 I'm lost here of his name, but John Fonte, yes, John Fonte.

Speaker 1 John Fonte wrote books in the style of Charles Bukowski, and

Speaker 1 Charl Bukowski,

Speaker 1 when he found out about him, he helped him

Speaker 1 publish all his books again. So that's why I know that John Fonte exists because Charlie Bukowski, he republished all his books for him when he was dying of diabetes.

Speaker 1 So Ask the Dust, bro, he talks about Los Angeles during 1932, bro, when Los Angeles had a Metro Rail and

Speaker 1 the 1932 earthquake in Los Angeles. Wow.
So it's all about, this guy's from Los Angeles. He talks about Armenians and working the docks in 1920s.
Wow.

Speaker 1 That's a great catch. I want to say that.
And they're alcoholics, bro. This guy's an alcoholic, and so is Charles Bukowski.
These are dudes that worked jobs and still were authors.

Speaker 1 Imagine going from those guys to TikTokers at BOA.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. Like these guys actually had jobs during the day.

Speaker 1 Charlotte Brokowski, he went to the postdoc. He never worked.
He never quit. Yeah.
And Antonio Barnini, well, what's his name? The other guy,

Speaker 1 he started writing for Hollywood and he just disappeared. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Oh, like writing screenplays or something?

Speaker 1 He got into under contract. Yeah, man.
There's a lot of like talented writers who just decide to write for a company. They just kind of like give up on the company.
You ever get hired for a job?

Speaker 1 Get hired to be a writer and then you said, this is not for me?

Speaker 1 I got a book deal once and I gave them the money back because they had too much input. They wanted to have too much input.

Speaker 1 And then they wanted me to transcribe my stand-up. That was one of their ideas.
I'm like, that's a terrible idea.

Speaker 1 They're like, George Carlin did. I'm like, well, that's fine.
I love George Carlin, but so what? I'm not doing that. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 1 Like, why would would I want the worst version of what the ideas are, which is just print? The best version is a live performed version. Second best version is a video.
Worst for sure is print.

Speaker 1 Audio is slightly better. But it's like, you don't want to do that.
Why would I do that? That's a dumb way to write a book. I just want to write about things that I'm thinking about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why would you write your whole set list on a book?

Speaker 1 And then I realized if I'm going to write something, I have to want to, and it has to be something that I do because I'm controlling the entire thing. And then if they like it, they like it.

Speaker 1 If they don't, they don't. But

Speaker 1 it's not something that I would ever want to have somebody help me out with.

Speaker 1 According to this article about him, part of the reason why he didn't explode when other writers did is because his publisher was in a legal battle for an unauthorized publication of Mein Kampf. Whoa!

Speaker 1 Oh, I said I didn't know that. That's about to know.
Whoa.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. So

Speaker 1 that kind of drained their resources. The financial drand on the publisher hampered the distribution of Ask the Dust.
Yes.

Speaker 1 While Fent put out a short story collection, Dago read in 1940, more than a decade would pass before another Bandini novel. Wow.
Yeah, he's

Speaker 1 created, and it was a bunch of stories about this fake.

Speaker 1 He got in a legal battle with Adolf Hitler. His publisher did, but yeah.
That's crazy. Crazy, huh? Insane.
That's crazy. Dude, I'm going to read that.
Is it on audio? I hope it's on audio book.

Speaker 1 I'm so lazy.

Speaker 1 Sitting down and actually

Speaker 1 reading a book right now. It's too daunting.

Speaker 1 It's too daunting. Felipe, one more time.
