I love when I come here and you two guys are in the gym and you’re you’re by yourselves, no one’s pushing you. I love it. I love it.
The only thing I because that we do every single thing that that we did back when we were working out, but other than some days ai we look at that cold punch, we’re like, Joe, you’re a fucking psycho. Get the
fuck out of here, dude. Not killing in cold water for you today, dude.
I’m down to work out tomorrow if you guys sana do it. Of course.
Alright. Let’s do it. Hell, yeah. We’ll get a good old
We’ll get a old school. I’ll get in the cold. But if you if we’re if we’re
all doing it, that’s I need that we all to be doing it. So my friend Sean who, trained Alex Jones is now training Shane. He’s gonna start training Shane.
I heard about he put some new ai.
I told Shah. Ai said, don’t let him kill you. Don’t let him kill you.
Don’t make sure you back him off a little
in the beginning. These fucking psychopaths. Yeah.
I remember when Hassan did it with him the first ai, Shah, he got him to do it. I couldn’t I was out of town with Schultz ai Sana called me and goes, bro, I threw up twice.
go, at the end he goes, no. At the beginning. I was
like, bro, get the fuck out
You gotta build up to that kind of stuff. That’s the thing, ai, Sean’s in great shah, you know. And some you know, if you’re if you’re used to, like, coach Navy Seals and you’re like, come on pussy, we gotta go, you know, ai, carry the fucking log. Yeah. Who’s gonna carry the boats? That’s one thing.
But when you’re a guy like Shane and you’re on workout on again, off again, on again, off again, like, you can’t hurt the guy. Like, you gotta, like, start slow. Yeah. Like, when we when we started working out, what we do is start slow.
Real slow. I mean, you were teaching us how to use the kettlebells, let alone going super hard at it. Whereas now, you don’t mean a sign of up their weight because now we’ve we’ve done it so meh, like, the rhythm of
Oh, dude. I’m excited for tomorrow.
But I I was gonna tell you this about Asan’s hair.
That’s back to it. We’re seeing him on the security camera. We’re going,
what the fuck are you doing?
just I was like, he looks like a fucking psycho.
Can’t believe it. People love it.
it. When he I’ll never forget this. One night, I’m working the back door of the Comedy Store and this is when Theo Von had just he went from he went from a guy we all knew to he’s now Theo Von. Mhmm. And I’m sitting back there and he pulled in and we’re just sana hanging up the back door and he goes, Derek, let me tell you something, man.
He goes, I was getting 2,000 a weekend before this hair. Since this mullet, I get about 40 k a weekend and walked off. And I was ai, what the Woah. Am I supposed to
get a I I literally was like, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
You know what though? It’s true, but it’s not true. So it’s true that when the haircut came, he got more money on the weekend, but it’s also ai the haircut freed him to beat Theo Vaughn. Ai, do you remember when the I remember very clearly the first time I ever saw Theo. And he was doing a bit about being a not even a bit.
He was telling a story, a true story about when he was his when he was young, his father was really old. Like his father had it when he was like 70.
Yes. Yeah. Something crazy. And he sai, he remembers being on acid ai next to his father. Well, and ai his father is just dying. You know what I mean? Like, if you ever been around someone who’s ai Really? Hundred years old?
They feel like there’s no life force in them.
Yeah. Like, they’re almost trapped in their mind. Ai. Yeah.
on acid. Ai next to him was like, woah, this guy’s weird. Like, what a what a weird set. And then, you know, he was talking about all kinds of other stuff too, but it was really fun, but it was interesting, you know. And then, I remember seeing him about a year, a year and a half later, and I couldn’t fucking breathe. I was just crying loud.
My cousin got bit by a gay ai, so we’ll see.
I was just like, what the fuck are you saying? What the fuck are you saying?
It was it was the timing and the the the the just the materials, like, all over the place this weird way. I love
a guy like that. Yeah. I agree. You’re right. It wasn’t the mullet might have just been the little touch, but he was already
your favorite to watch. Something like that to make you feel different, you know. Ai, may like some dudes, I think, like dressing nice on stage because they feel different. Or Bert likes to take his shirt off because he feels different. Bert could do the same set with a tuxedo on. It would be the same fun. Yeah.
It would be the same fun. It just makes him feel free to take let that fucking gut hang out and show everybody he’s willing to drink himself to death for you.
Like he’s a fucking gladiator, dude. But they love it. But I do get that feeling of, like, being free on stage and truly
Because that does separate yourself too of, like, oh, this is how I am. Yeah.
You gotta learn how to do that some way. Right? And some people, it’s alcohol, and some people, it’s the way they dress, and some people, it’s weed, and some people, it’s, you know, they have to run. They have to jog before they do a set.
Yeah. I remember seeing Eleanor. She would do dips. Mhmm. You’ll catch her in the back of the whole and just she’s just cranking out dips, and then she goes up. But then you see when she’s up, it’s ai, oh, that energy had to just Yeah. It was just coming out of her.
Yes. Coming out of you now. Also, you wanna get your heart rate up a little bit sai your body is, like and your mind is, like, things are flowing really good. You don’t sana be ai sleepy and then go on stage. Right? That’s the worst thing in the world arya full meh. Yeah. And go on stage.
You wanna be you wanna be up a little.
I heard Bill Burr say something, but he’s just one of the greatest ever do it. But it always made me go, damn. Because I always felt that way, like, no. I wouldn’t eat before ram. I’ve eaten before shah. I wouldn’t eat. And then I heard him say once, he was like, ai, I used to not eat before shows.
And then Ai got older, and I fucking have a Thanksgiving dinner before a show and go up and talk the whole set about how I had a Thanksgiving dinner and how fucking fat I am and how gross we all are in America. And it was just ai that freedom of, like, wow. He really doesn’t give a fuck this guy.
He well, he Bill is also amazing at being Bill. Like, you know like, he has he has his opinions, his what he thinks is stupid about something, and he’s just, like, locked in.
I mean? Like, there’s no, like some comics ai you’ll see one of their hours and it’s kinda like one kind of energy and then the other hour it’s ai kind of a different kind of and what Bill Burr is Bill Burr. I’m Bill Burr. It’s a great point. He knows how to be Bill Burr. He’s professionally Bill Burr. That’s a ai point.
A lot of people couldn’t even do his material. It would just ai wouldn’t work.
No. And it it would sound
Hard. Like hateful. Yeah. Like the telephone hates the world dude.
But that’s just the magic of becoming, you know, you. Right? Like, there’s a few ai, Atel is the absolute best at it. Yeah. Atel has a timing and a presence and then the material, the way it’s bryden, like a lot of it on paper, you’d be like, what is this? I don’t understand how this would be funny. But you see him do it in real ai, you’re like, oh ai God, you’re just crying. Yeah.
And when the crowd is more ruckus, he he’s better.
He’s in on the corniness of some of the stuff too, which makes it even more fun. It’s like there’s many layers to it and, you know, some of it is just ai which is brilliant observations on things. Some of them is completely ridiculous, you know. It’s Yeah. It’s just all but it’s woven into Dave Vatsal. And he’ll pull out a fucking recorder. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. He starts to play the flute. It’s crazy.
Bro, we saw him ai. I was so fucking impressed.
I was so impressed. I was like, that is so good. You know, there’s another one like that Colin Quinn. Man, when he was here. You see him ai, you’re like, wow. That was so good. Just so fun. You forget how good he is. Yeah.
And then you’re learning shit. I’m like, I didn’t know this.
Yeah. He’s he’s like a history wizard. I remember we did tough tough crowd once and, Colin used to do stand up to the crowd before the show would start, before we’d sit down and do tough crowds.
doing the warm up for his
doing the warm up for his own show. This one ai, I don’t know if he did it all the time, but he was murdering. Murdering. And I was watching this, I was ai, people don’t know how good he is. Like, this is crazy. Because ai there’s some ai, they’ll warm up for their show and it’s like a monologue. They’re doing a few jokes. It’s like, it’s okay. It’s okay.
But I’m not in it. I’m not really feeling it. With him, it was like Sai was at a club. I was like dying ai like I was at a comedy club. I was like, people don’t know.
This is ai, there’s a few of these guys who just never got good at promoting, you know, and they’re really good.
the interesting thing is the really good ones are not bitter. That they’re not as famous as they deserve to be. Ai, Atel is, like, the least bitter guy alive. Yeah. He’s so cool. Not even remotely bitter. Always friendly. Or ai all day. He’ll he’ll Speak. Peaceful. Like, he’s as as present as you can get.
And, he’s infinitely less famous than he should be. He he should be selling out arenas all over the world. He’s that good. Wow. He’s so good, dude.
He might be the best comic alive. There’s, like, a few in my mind that are, like, in the running for that. Like, who’s the I guess there’s no one best.
know, of course, you always have to consider Chappelle. He’s the the GOAT of our generation. He’s the most prolific. He has social impact. He’s hilarious and silly, and he’s a sweetheart of a person too. So you have to think to him, but then I go with like sheer RPMs. I gotta go with Joey D.
Sheer RPMs where you just ai, I how many nights were we in the back of the comedy store? We couldn’t we couldn’t even couldn’t even talk.
not even laughing anymore.
You’re just gonna Wheezing.
Everybody’s just wheezing. Him Making wheezing noises and slapping things.
Man, I remember back that era seeing him and Ai and then how people feel about him now, whatever. But at that time, man, when Chris A’leah was on stage in that main room some nights, it was mind blowing, the RPMs.
The just the amount of laughter and how fast would be, like, what the fuck?
Yeah. He could kill. There’s, there’s a magic to that thing. I think that’s hypnosis. I’ve always thought that. I’ve been, like, for a long time at least. I I’m like, what is happening to me when someone’s on stage and they’re killing? You know, like, when Shane when Shane’s on ai. What is happening to me?
I think I’m, like, locked in with their mind. I don’t think it’s as simple as I’m watching a show or something like that because I love like watching a funny movie, you know, Tropic Thunder, something like that. I love laugh and watch a funny movie, but I don’t feel the same way I feel when a guy is in front of me on stage doing stand up.
And I think as great as specials are, they’re never they’re ai 60 to 70% of being there ai. Yes. Always. Meh, every time. There’s something about being there live that’s like it’s hypnosis. There’s something going on where that that person’s making me think the way they think.
Yeah. Yeah. When someone brings you into their world and like you said, you’re just living in it. And you’re not even thinking about your you’re just like I’m living in this guy’s Exactly. Essence right now. Exactly.
You’re you’re living in this person’s imagination and this person’s work. Right? Because they’re like, they set this set up. Yeah. And they danced it around their head, and they wrote it down on paper. That’s the other interesting thing about what we do is, like, no one has there’s no, like, one way to do it.
I always say my way to do it, but, you know, I don’t think Bill writes shit down. I think he keeps it all in his head. Yeah. Dave mostly keeps it all in his head too. Schultz does that too. Yeah. They do a lot. That’s the Jay z thing too. Right?
Jay z kept it all in his head.
Little Wayne, they didn’t they just it was just and it’s insane they’re releasing it’s not like they’re releasing one album.
But who’s the best writer? Nas. Nas wrote everything down. You can’t write I agree. Rewind in your head. No. You can’t.
No. It’s a story backwards.
It’s a story backwards. It’s another level. That’s another level. That’s ai him pulling his dick out and just ai slapping that shit on the table. Right? That song is we just sana sai, like, writing, like, I I challenge anybody in the world who’s got a better written song than Rewind from Nas.
That’s a great ai. I would agree with that. It’s It’s perfectly fluent backwards. It’s insane. It’s a language almost.
Backwards. It’s it’s magic. It’s like a magic song. Yeah. It’s sai and it’s and while you’re watching it, you’re ai, you’re appreciating the fact that he pulled it off. Yeah. You know, like, while you’re listening, you’re appreciating the fact that he pulled off this song backwards.
Yeah. It’s impressive to watch the different ways people do it. I mean, I’m biased because I’m tour I tour with him. But, man, when I’m out with fucking Schultzy, dude, because people just see him come up with that ten minutes up top, you know, like, we’ll go we’ll go to Abu Dhabi and you you can just see it.
Right? But, man, you know, people I get to see how he gets there. And it’s he gets to town and when no matter where we arya, and all he does is he just talks to people. And he doesn’t say anything. He just he he gets a random person who’s lived in wherever we’re at for a long time and he just lets them and you can just and you just see him, kinda like and his eyes will light up when somebody says a certain thing.
His eyes will light up and he’s like, oh, okay. Oh, that’s going on? Oh, then what do they think of this? Sai what are the and he’ll ask a couple questions. Yeah. He’ll do it, and I’m not talking about thirty minutes, Joe.
He’ll talk to somebody for three, four hours before the show and just soak in all the culture and all the information, and then you see him go on stage and it’s a full flush ten minute chunk about a place.
Joe, he’s a special talent. That’s He’s a special talent. Ai.
I’ve never seen anything like that.
Yeah. He’s very special. And, you know, and it’s also ai you gotta realize he’s doing these jokes in front of 16,000 people for the first time. He’s got a new joke and he’s busting it out in front of 16,000 people about their area. Yes. Bro, that shah he did in Hawaii about the chickens being so confident.
god. Joe Joe, I was Ai was the black guy. We could have been there and sai the chickens run up to me. He’s ai, these chickens are too confident, dawg. It’s like, they don’t know Derek. And I would ai and it cuts to
it’s a form bit later that night and it’s like this guy is incredible.
And that’s that’s another example. Like what is he doing? How’s he doing to that crowd with those great jokes? Like, he’s, like, he’s locking those people in or they’ll you’re letting him think for you. Like, come on, man. Think for me. Mhmm. Let me have a good time and think for me.
Yeah. And not only that, but you’re talking about my own personal experience in Hawaii.
And now you’re going into your sai. You’re ai have me. You have me completely wrapped around you. Yeah. You’re a pro. It it was insane.
He’s, he keeps getting better.
It’s I mean It was good when I
first saw him a few years back, but meh, he just keeps getting better.
Well, like you said earlier, help to see people do different hours. I don’t know what to see for intimacy. It’s different in life. People forget
he was ai the first guy to really capitalize on the pandemic with his, videos where he essentially created a completely new kind of stand up. Right? So it’s stand up without the pauses that you would require if a audience was laughing. So he’s it’s more rapid paced. Yeah. Ai, he thought this through, dude.
This is like a genius thing. Those things turn your phone ai.
So that’s what you used to have to do back in the day, kids. Back five years ago.
Oh, you fucking 15 year olds when you were 10, you didn’t know about this. But you when you turn your phone sideways and then it would be it would play out in wide format. And he would kinda do stand up with images and with punch ai, and it was fucking great.
But it was off way faster pace than he does stand up on stage. Yeah. It was like the punch lines and then you listen to that and and I’m like, oh my god. He figured it out. Yeah. He figured out how to make, like, really compelling stand up for someone who’s not there.
Well, it’s like a it’s like a a late night monologue from one of those late night hosts but like a real motherfucker doing it and really giving their actual opinion.
Exactly. Exactly. It’s genius because ai that was an example of someone innovating in ai a crisis. Like, there’s a situation that happened. You’re forced to everyone you know, some like, during the pandemic, some people just curled up in a shell and ai, I’m not leaving my house anymore.
And then some people are ai, okay. What can we do? What can we do? Okay. I’m gonna figure out how to do stand up in this little video format. Turn your phone sideways.
then everybody arya sharing them and some of and then Netflix does, a thing, you know, Andrew Schultz saves America.
Andrew Schultz saves America. Yeah.
Yeah. Which, I don’t think he they should get their money back because he didn’t save America. Ai dare you?
Yeah. Some of those people are still trapped ram the house truck.
It’s crazier than ever right now, damn true.
But, yeah, he he did I mean, with even with Saloni Genius.
it’s him. I give him that credit of, like
Oh, he does it all the ai. Then he also, you know, because his stuff is local and a lot of it, like these opening bits that he comes up with are you you kind of have to get him out now. Yeah. Right? Some so he could just release them on like the fucking when we do the P. Diddy thing we went to LA.
Let’s just do P. Diddy’s house.
Brother. Brother, he wrote that shit meh minutes before he walked up into the forum.
20,000 people. 20,000 people. He wrote it to me. And it was the me and
Mark Agnes sana sitting there ai,
holy fuck. How did he come up with this? We were just hanging with him.
That’s so funny. He’s in the groove. You know? AG one has been a ai partner of the show, and I’m excited to share a great offer they have going on right now. You can get a free month ai of AG one’s omega three supplement and a free bottle of d three k two with your first subscription order.

Like you like we’re talking about ai a vatsal like Theo ai when somebody gets in the groove of who they arya, you know, like like Tony is on kill Tony. Perfect example.
He’s locked in. He’s in the groove. He’s been doing it so long. He knows when to dance and when to pause. Mhmm.
When to ask a serious question, when to get goofy, when to let the the these the panel know. It’s pretty impressive, man.
If you can find something like that to do in your life, you will have a much better life than if you just get a job. And I know that’s not for not everybody can, but if you can, you definitely should. Yeah, dude. Yeah. You definitely should do that.
Being excited for every day and nervous and and anxious and and always just be that that feeling, I mean, I to not have it, I can’t believe people go I don’t I get having you gotta go to work, you gotta make money, but the idea of, like, man, never that feeling of anxiety and looking forward to something and, and and and then not going the way you planned. And so you gotta go the next day and figure out what went wrong and, like,
I love that. That’s what I love about
stand up, the figuring it out, the math of it all. Yeah.
Yeah. It’s it’s a great job, man. We’re so fucking lucky. Yeah, dude. We’re so lucky.
God. You’ve been in it long enough to see everybody. Did you see this thing Damon Wayne said about you?
Guys, he stole my pictures.
Yeah. I went to talk to you about that. But the way he said
it, I’ve never seen someone say I stole a joke, and I he was like, man, I I got he said I saw it, and then I actually realized I stole Joe’s joke, and I was like, oh, I gotta stop watching motherfuckers. Yeah. It just stuck in the back of his head. But I know you give him his flower, so I ai like, oh, no.
That guy’s not a joke for you.
No. No. No. No. That happens, man. Sometimes you you think you came up with it, but somebody else did and you heard it and you forgot. That can definitely especially if it’s a subject that you never cover and time has passed and then the subject comes up, like something comes up and you you ai and almost ai, David tells the best at that.
He’ll call you up because you have to check ai, like, hey, have you heard this? You know, like, you have like he’s the best sai that. Dave does that all the time. Like, you gotta check every now and then. Like, this one seems too easy because the memory is weird. You know, meh is weird.
You ever go back to, like, your old neighborhood where you grew up and you’re, like, this house is way smaller than I thought it was.
is different. Everything’s different. Looks weird. You know? Your memory is shitty. It’s good. Ai mean, it keeps you from fucking picking up the wrong ai.
But, you know, it’s it’s not it’s
not a photographic representation of reality, and that’s a problem.
And you guys have been doing stand up twenty years. How many bits have you seen?
Just Seen too many bits. Yeah. So you can and then, you know, there’s parallel thinking. There’s a lot, but you know when someone’s a thief and Damon’s not a thief. I always said that Damon meh he might be one of the most underappreciated comics ever because, like, when he was in his prime, you gotta realize he was ai, you know, if you’re looking to today, he was like Chappelle.
He was ai in this that same level of recognition as being ai one of the best guys a lot. But then they got him with those TV shows, man.
And movies he wanted to be
a movie star. Last boy scout. He was gonna be a movie star. Yeah. Did that big Bruce Willis?
a good movie. Yeah. And then it looked like he was going to be a movie star after that. I mean meh had
some great like blank man or he’s a retarded superhero. That was so ridiculous.
Let’s try doing that today.
You couldn’t do that. For how many when
he used to do handyman on living culture?
Oh ai god. They might be one of the greatest families, the the Wayne’s family.
For sure. Who’s who’s number two? They’re number one.
They might be one and two, Joe. I Ai don’t know who
Ai, what other families are there that are ai big shah not in comedy? What other family? Ai am I missing something? Am I forgetting somebody?
I mean, I know in living color was so big.
Them and then the Sklar brothers. Ai, there’s no other families. Family.
There’s nobody in the hunt.
Ai I in Living Color is so big, Joe. Did you know this that the reason we have the Super Bowl halftime show is because of In Living Color. That’s crazy. So In Living Color Is that true? That’s true. So before Michael Jackson when they the year they brought Michael Jackson was because the year before that, In Living Color aired during the Super Bowl.
lost so many viewers. They lost, like, a a a not half. It’s a big number where that they were, like, we can’t let people leave during halftime show because this show is too big. What year was that? I wanna say Michael Jackson was ’95. Maybe it shah to
be earlier than that because I remember watching it on TV at a pool hall. ’93. ‘3.
Sai I was just moving to New York, to LA from New York then. So I was in New York at a pool hall watching it. And I remember watching Fire Marshall Bill and I’ll be like, how can you do this? How is this allowed? Ai, this show’s crazy. You have to realize for ’93, there was nothing ai like, if you think about the Internet today and all the crazy videos that people put together in the years of Meh TV and SNL.
But back then back then, man, there was nothing like this show. This show is crazy.
That is Pauley. Oh ai god. That is Pauley right in the corner. There we go.
Look at them. He’s moving the head like a bitchin’, bro. He’s here now too.
hanging out with Pauly. It’s like being at the store, man.
It’s the best. But, this ai is unreal how big this was.
This show was great. But Damon, you watch if you wanna watch something, watch, the I think it’s The Last Stand. I think that was one of his, I think that’s the name of it. Something like I think it’s The Last Stand, but it’s fucking phenomenal. And it’s it’s sai it’s so good, but it’s also ai so good if you go back to that ai.
Because comedy, ai, everything else has evolved with all the scrutiny on it and all the different high level people that are doing it. Like, there’s the comedy right now, I think is at, like, the highest level that I’ve ever seen. There’s so many really great comedians. I I think in the nineteen eighties, like if you go back, you had Kennison, you had Eddie Murphy, you had Richard Pryor, you had George Carlin, you had a bunch of really good guy Jerry Seinfeld, but that many after that, you know, wasn’t as thick.
Yeah. It’s thick with assassins. Ai I think like right now there’s so many assassins out there. There’s more arena acts out there right now than has ever been in the history of comedy. Yeah. Just sana realize arena acts started with Dice Clay.
So Dice Clay starts off becoming he becomes an arena act in, like, eighty
Yeah. That’s when arena act comedy started. Mhmm.
Before that, and nobody was doing it but ai. Dice was the only arena act. Wow. Yeah. And then arena act number two, Dane Cook.
And that’s how many years later?
Meh. Because this is like Dane Cooks becomes an arena act in ai the February. Wow. Yeah. So then there’s Dane Cook. Dane Cook starts selling arenas.
I was like, what is happening? What is happening?
And then, all of a sudden the Internet happens and social media happens and a lot of comics ai we’re talking about ai Dave Vatsal and Colin Quinn. Like Dave Attell is one of the best to ever do it. And if there’s ever a club where he’s not sold out the moment it’s on stage, it’s a travesty. Doesn’t make any sense.
sense. But they they didn’t connect to the Internet the same way. And because that their the notoriety is not commensurate to the saloni. Whereas, like, with Schultz, the notoriety and the talent are perfectly balanced.
It’s the same it’s the same level. So everybody knows how good he is and everybody knows who he is. It’s ai it’s locked in where it’s ai Dave Vatsal is this, but, like, the notoriety is ai us talking about him only. Word-of-mouth only. His social media is hot garbage. He’s got a flip phone.
a flip phone. He texts you with the do do do do. He’s sana press four times to get a r
or whatever the fuck it is. It’s so stupid.
It’s so stupid. He does it like that.
It’s crazy he does it like that. Like, why do you do it like that?
Because he could be on the Internet more. Ai mean, I remember when he had that shah, That’s when I first saw Let
meh throw this at you because I’ve been trying to stay off social media more and more every day, ai, a little less every day. And the more I do it, the better I feel. It’s like not being poisoned. It really is. It’s like getting away from a poison that you didn’t know was a poison, like some, like, forever plastics in your Starbucks cup or something. You know? Yeah.
I quit those Starbucks cups and all of a sudden Sai you know what I mean? It’s like something like that. Like, I I quit drinking tap water and all of a sudden Ai could think better.
Oh, my god. That’s right. You know?
if anybody else before that.
We always I forgot about Steve Martin. Ai I forgot about Steve Martin for two reasons. One, because Steve Martin was a little different. He was doing stand up, but it was a lot of songs and it was, you know what
He he was great ai the way. Like, Let’s Get Small is phenomenal. But I think he got to a point where comedy became too easy because and so he didn’t know what was funny anymore because everybody loved him so much and he stopped doing stand up, which is really weird.
Probably didn’t have good friends. Yeah. Because because we had good friends who would ram them ai who grabbed Ron White. Remember when Ron White retired? Ai. What are you talking about? I’m gonna retire. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Isn’t comedy fun? Yeah.
He was ai, yeah. It is. So keep doing fun things. What the fuck is wrong with you? Like, I I I can’t believe I have to give them this advice. Like, you’re Ron White.
How are you thinking about how could you how much fun are you having when you kill it up there? But I think that was the drinking thing too, man.
Yeah. It was drinking, and it was also he needed a ai, you know, and he had the tribe a little bit when he was in California. You know, he was always on the road a lot, you know, and he just decided that being in the center of the country was better. So he was ai patient zero of the Austin revolution.
Like a lot of people think it was me, but it was really Ron because I came here knowing that Ron was here. I was like, at the very least, Ron’s here, you know.
It’s two of us. I’m like, I’m not
living like this in California. You’re not doing this to me. I know what you’re doing. I was like, the the the the fucking caged animal in me is ai, I’m getting out. This is not this is gonna go sideways. I’m not gonna be a part of this.
Fuck you. Okay. At least Ron’s there. I was like, my life is gonna be worse than it ever was before. My life is gonna be all my friends are gone. They’re not here. I’m in the middle of the country. Maybe I’ll see him every now and then. Maybe I’ll have to book shows to see them, but at least Ron’s here. That’s that’s what I decided. Patient zero. Yeah. Ai was patient zero.
now he hangs out every night. And we get we get Ron every night. Oh, he’s lovely. He’s
Just He’s lovely. We were hanging one time. This is
my favorite Ron story. And it’s me it’s just me, you, and Ron in the green room. And you gifted him a really nice Rolex. And you guys were having a sweet moment, and I I couldn’t believe I was there to see it. I was like, ai, this is really cool. And you gifted it to him, and y’all were having a conversation like, wow. And he takes off his Rolex, and he tossed it to me.
He goes, there you go, Derek. And I go, holy shit, Ron. For real? He says, fuck no. Broke into my Rolex.
Get my Rolex back, you idiot. And then you went so you go, that’s the most fucked up shit I’ve ever seen, Ron. I forgot about that right now. It was most evil. So evil. You were you’re literally like, Ron, why would you do that?
Well, I thought everybody’s just giving out Rolex stuff with this bitch. I just
thought that was gonna be a
great moment. And my face was like, that’s hilarious.
Ai I can’t believe I’m friends with him because Ai been a fan since I was a kid.
I feel that same way. Yeah. I feel that way about a lot of ai. Like, I can’t believe I’m friends with you. It’s nice. It’s not well, that’s good. Right? You never stop being both a fan and a person who does it. Yeah. I try to separate it. I try to separate me as a comic off stage versus me as a comic on stage. I really do. You know, so I could just be a fan.
Oh, so you know. Yeah. Yeah.
Because when I was younger, I used to watch someone going, I would do it differently. Like, if they suck, I’ll do that. If they suck, I’ll go, like, oh, that premise. Ai I think, this is not explaining this very well. You know, I mean, I I start picking it apart that way, but I like to just be a fan.
I ai like to just watch, because I think a lot of people are real hesitant to give up flowers. Right? As you guys like to say. Yeah. But the reason why is because they don’t feel good about comparing themselves to this person who may be doing better than them.
So they there’s a feeling ai, ah, he’s alright. He’s alright. There’s a little bit of that, you know, which I don’t I don’t like that.
It doesn’t make sense to me either because watching this game for the ten years I’ve been doing it, it’s like, oh, like, there’s no like, everyone tells me that Sebastian used to ai, like, nobody knew that he was gonna be the big one of the biggest arena acts we’ve ever seen when he first started when he was coming around.
in the Florida comics? Yeah. Be like, oh, he was good, but you didn’t see that form. So it’s like, oh, there is no point to judge somebody harshly because his game is long. Is Yeah.
The game’s long. And you figure things out. I was terrible when I started. There’s no way to not be. Especially meh, I was socially retarded. I’ve been hit in the head a 50,000 times. I mean,
there’s some fucking issues there.
There are some issues and I I was socially retarded because I spent like from age 15 to 21 just did nothing but travel around the country fighting people. That’s all I did. So my version of a young adulthood was very weird. Like, it was a % competition.
That was all it was. You know, that’s all I did.
When you hear Joey talk about you when you were younger, ai, he was an animal. You know, like, Joe was just an animal before you apparently started smoking weed. He was like, you were way more different about it.
But Ai think a lot of fighters have a hard time transitioning into being a regular person and I was only an amateur ai. You know, I was I couldn’t imagine being a guy like, you know, like Dustin Poirier who’s about to ai. You know, like transitioning to being a regular person.
He’s been this fucking savage tyler for so long for so long at the highest level. Like, that’s like the highest level in the world. Inside the octagon knocks out Sana McGregor. Yeah. And you’re ai, and that guy’s got a transition to being a regular person. For me, there was no screaming crowds.
It was weird high school auditoriums and trying to give people concussions.
That’s all it was. That was all
it was. So but there was no glory and no money and it cost me some of my health, you know, for sure. There’s, you know, and and fear. Constantly living in a state of anxiety that you’re gonna have to fight again soon. Constantly. Constantly. And for some weird reason, I was ai like, why am I doing this to myself? I don’t have to do this. Like, this isn’t doesn’t pay me any money.
I don’t have to do it. Why am I why do I keep signing up to do this? The NBA eighty two game grind is done, and now the real fun begins. The NBA playoffs are here, and it’s time for all the high stakes drama, clutch moments, and jaw dropping plays. I can’t wait.

Did you ever have any ambition to go pro to take it to the next level?
Or Yeah. But there was no money. I remember I got offered $500 to do a kickboxing fight. And, there was so if Ai did that kickboxing fight, I couldn’t fight amateur anymore. And I ai, like, $500. So then I can’t like, if I ever decided to, like, try to compete in the Olympics again because I was trying to get on the national team to compete in the Olympics.
But somewhere along the line, I got a little disenchanted with Taekwondo. And one of the ways that it happened is I started kickboxing, and I started getting beat up because my hands were dog shit. So, like, I’ve I was really good kicking. But if if I got into boxing and changes, I was terrible. My chin was up in the air.
I was fucking swinging punches like a bitch. It was awful. I ai hit really hard. If I hit you, you’re in trouble. But it was not good.
And so I realized, like, oh, there’s a giant flaw in this. Like, for actual real fights, there’s a giant flaw in this. And as soon as I started kickboxing, particularly this friend of mine who was a really good boxer, Dana Rosenblatt. He he was one of my training partners, and he became, New England, middleweight champion. He beat, Vinnie Pazienza in a decision.
He lost in one fight and then beat him in a decision. He was legit. He knocked out Howard Davis junior who was a, Olympic gold medalist. He’s a bad motherfucker. And he also, when I was training with him, made me realize that I didn’t really wanna do this anymore.
That I was just doing this because I had done it my whole life, and this was, like, what I decided I was doing. I was ai, not only is there no future in this, there’s a lot of brain damage coming my way. Like, 100% Ai getting it right now. And, you know, just sparring with Sana, me and him sparring.
Well, I don’t know how many times we speak, but we would beat the fuck out of each other, dude. Ram.
Oh, it sai horrible. Yeah. I’d go home with headaches. Ai and if we were, in boxing range, he was tuning me up. So I was always trying to stay on the outside because his hands were way better than mine, but we cracked each other.
Oh, you and Dana White would fight? No.
No. No. Ai friend Sana Rose Okay.
I was like, no. No. No. I heard Dana, and I was like, no. No.
But if me and Dana were friends, we would do that too. Like, I I spar with a lot of my friends. We beat the shit out of each other. It was horrible, but that’s how you what you have to do. You know what the beautiful thing about Jiu Jitsu is above kickboxing is you you don’t have this ai animosity with your sparring partners.
Because, like, if you if you’re in a good gym, in kickboxing, you’re always hurting each other. And he’s ai, even if you love a guy and you spar with him, you’re always hurting each other. So you always have this thing where you’re ai, fuck that dude. That dude gave me a fucking headache.
You think about getting him back. Like, think about he cracked you with a left hook, Ai like, I am gonna get him back. I’m gonna can’t wait to get him back. Whereas with Jiu Jitsu, you can’t wait to tap somebody, but you’re not hurting each other. You know, if you get hurt, it’s an accident. The the injuries in Jiu Jitsu are usually the strain related or, you know, you didn’t tap. Right?
It’s either you strain to get out of something or you pulled yourself the wrong way or you didn’t tap. Put it in kickboxing, like, you’re getting your legs are getting fucked up every day. Wham. Wham. No matter what. And those pads, they help a little.
Damn, they’re huge. Joe, those pads. When they look like it when I watch
it, they help. A little. Yeah. If somebody kicks you ai if Israel Adesanya kicks you with one of those pads on that shit, you can’t you can’t believe the panic saloni that’s involved in that way to make a living. So I was only doing it because I I didn’t know what to do. I was still but I wasn’t the same person that I used to be.
I was at one point in ai, I was just a mad dog and then I realized like I’m gonna get really hurt and there’s no future in this, you know? Wow.
Were you already one foot in, one foot out or did you just stop two feet in but you were like, I’m done.
You know what it was really? I had one fight when I fought I fought in the nationals in Anaheim and, I beat the first ai. So I got into the second round And the second guy was this I think he was from Illinois. I don’t remember. But he was, like, super aggressive. And I hit him with the hardest wheel kick I’ve ever thrown in my life. It was perfect. He charged in with, like, a a a a left switch kick.
So he was like ai did a hopping roundhouse kick off the left ai, and I recognized it right away. There was a pattern. He was making this pattern when he was moving. He would do this thing and then he would always do this. He would do this thing and then he would always do this. So I saw that pattern ai I said, here it comes.
And so he went with his hopping roundhouse kick. I countered with this wheel kick. And I hit him so hard that my heel was sore for days. I was limping for days because the way my heel bounced off his face. And he face planted, snoring, like, they snore when they go out.
Have you ever seen anybody get knocked out?
On the Internet, of course, you have. Ai.
I’d seen it a few times in the gym. It it’s spooky. It’s spooky. And sai, my thing, what I would always do when I knock somebody out is walk away like it was nothing. Like, that’s what I always do. Like, that’s what I do. Yeah. I just I didn’t celebrate. I just would turn my head and walk away.
And I was talking to my friend, Jang Sai, who was, he was US national champion. He was a training partner of mine. He was sitting in the in the speak, and I sai, I’ll never forget this. I’m like, is he moving? He’s like, he hasn’t gotten up.
And so then they get him an ambulance. And so they put this kid on a stretcher, and they have him sitting out there for thirty minutes, and he’s just on the stretcher for thirty minutes. And then they bring him in the ambulance, and they take him to the hospital. And I’m like, yo.
When when he said he’s not he wasn’t moving yet, did you feel like
Yeah. He could be dead. So this is what scared me. So I I had this trainer, my ai this, instructor, who’s ai one of the best Taekwondo instructors in the world. And I say to him, you know, what he said to me, he said, he goes, I heard you had a really good knockout at the nationals.
And, I said, yes, sir. I said it was, it was kinda scary because, I thought, like, I thought for a while that he was dead. And he goes, sometimes they die. And he walked away. I was like, oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, Jesus Christ. He was fucking serious. He’s like, train Iraqi forces?
He used to train troops in Vietnam. Like, he was a hardcore dude. He was hardcore. Oh ai god. Sometimes they die? How sometimes they die. Yeah.
I think it was Vietnam where he trained troops. I forget where he trained troops, but he was, like, an elite Taekwondo instructor and he was, his mind was, like, his name was master Jae Hyun Kim and he’s the the guy who runs the Jae Hyun Kim Taekwondo Institute. Ai, that’s his business and that’s that’s the place where ai came.
Meh was like one of the few guys that was trained under general Choi Young Yi who was, the founder of Taekwondo. So it’s like there’s a handful of black belts that were trained by this one guy. So it was like a different style. So their style was a very violent and very power oriented. Whereas, there was ai an Olympic style that was emerged that was emerging that was very points oriented.
It was just move fast and ai tap and score. And they would yell and shit like that. Like, every time they’d hit, they’d scream out. And so the Olympic style was more effective at winning tournaments. And so the best guys were adopting like this Olympic style, but there was an older style that was just the maybe they telegraph the moves a little bit more and maybe it was a little slow, but the impact was very different.
They were knocking people unconscious. It was very scary. So that’s the gym that I grew up in. So I I had this very fortunate place that I just stumbled into. Ai know, I happen to be like one of the best Taekwondo gyms in the country, especially for generating power because they, like, really emphasize heavy back work.
Like, he really ai heavy back work. It’s like you have to generate power. If you hit somebody and it doesn’t hurt, that’s ridiculous. You got you gotta you gotta be able to hit someone and just put them out.
Would you get into a lot of street fights
Before this? Or No. Even before before Ai, you weren’t even getting into fights or something like that?
Before Taekwondo, I was a pussy. Really? Yeah. I couldn’t fight at all. So, like, why would I get in fights? I was trying to get away from ai. I tried to fluke everybody. I was terrified. Wow. And so I just got tired of being fucked with because I was a pussy. Because I would get nervous.
Because I moved around a lot. I didn’t have a lot of friends. We we moved a bunch of times when I was a kid. So I was always around new kids. And I wasn’t big, so they would fuck with me. You know? It’s just normal.
Sai, you know, and I didn’t know how to fight. So it bothered the shit out of me. So I’m like, well, there’s only one solution. You know, you gotta become what you’re scared of.
So you put yourself into Ai. You were like, meh. I wanna do this.
a job, started working, washing dishes at Newport Creamery, got enough money sai I could take Taekwondo lessons. Holy shit, Joe. And then I started going every day. So after a while, he realized, like, it would be better if I was just there all the time instead of working, and so he gave me a job.
I did not know that about you. Yeah.
Because I was teaching. So I started teaching when I was, like, 15. I was teaching people when I was 15. And then when I was 19, I was teaching at Boston University. I used to teach a class, accredited class. It was a pass fail a. And I would tell everybody, it could count towards your GPA. So I’d say, if you come here, you get an a. That’s all you have to do. Just try.
You’re gonna get an a, and it counts towards your GPA. And I just tell them that in the beginning of the class. I go, if you can’t come, if you can’t make it, just call me and tell me that you can’t make it but I want you to come I want you to come every time you can. And if you do that, I’m gonna get you better. We’re we’re all gonna learn something. We’re gonna I’m gonna really get into this.
So I was really good at teaching. Wow. I was really really into
That’s how you were in there. In the gym when we work out, you had that same energy. So it’s like, oh, that came from a place.
Yeah. Well, that’s what I was doing for a living. So from 15 to 19, I was just teaching. So what the what my instructor allowed me to do, ai I guess I was training after about six months or so. He he’d said, look, this is you could train here for free. All you have to do is teach private lessons. Sai was ai, great.
So I would teach people, the new people, I would teach them how to bow, I teach them how to tie their gi on, I would teach them how to stand, I would teach them different different techniques and Ai go through them and get them so they’re ready to join in to group classes because you couldn’t just go into group classes, you wouldn’t know what you’re doing.
Yeah. Like they’re like front kick, you’re like looking around. Someone’s gotta teach you how to do it. So it was always ai a big deal to let, like, one of your little birds loose into the main class. Like, you teach them, get their front kick going, get the side kick going, they go through a series of private lessons.
I tell them to practice on their own, look, using the mirror, give them a bunch of, like, things to think about as they break down the movements.
And you just literally I’ve seen you do it in there. That is what the mothership is. It’s really just a fucking dojo to get better. Yeah. And everything is about everyone pushing each other to get better and, like, learning together. Yeah. It’s ai, oh meh gosh. You’ve been on this teacher shit.
Well, that’s also what my instructor explained to me when I was really young too. Like, I I say this all the time and I even said it on the podcast yesterday. Martial arts are a vehicle for developing your human potential. That’s what it is. It’s just you’re using martial arts as a way to get better at life because this is a really hard thing.
And if you could do this really hard thing, other things won’t be as hard. You’ll you’ll be able to you’ll have more mental and physical horsepower for regular everyday life. You’ll have more ability to overcome adversity and weird moments, uncomfortable moments. You’re used to being uncomfortable. It’s fine. You’ll be fine. It’s different.
Wow. Yeah. See, I came up I I played football, college football. Like, I was a football player my whole life. And that was Bro,
that was another one for brain damage.
though? I’m addicted ai. But I grew but the idea of ai because that’s so yourself. You’re dealing with ai. You’re dealing with yourself.
You’re always yourself. Whereas I I
I came my whole thing was team. Team Mhmm. You get to lean on people. You’re leaning on each other sana and that’s what’s making you better is is how do we play the
best as a group. Right. You know? Well, that’s great too sana I think that’s probably more beneficial to society. It’s learning how to play in a team. My problem was like, you know, when I
was a bad motherfucker. You’re handsome, Austin. Look at you.
So handsome. You’re a good look. You look like a fucking model, dog.
that’s the one of the top high school football Right.
We’re looking back to looking like that. You could look like that again. I know. You just gotta lay off the car.
They’re so good. They’re so good. They’re so good. Cheers to pasta. Those are good.
And then just because you stopped you told me the other day you haven’t been drinking again. You you stopped drinking. Right?
Yeah. I’ve been more than a month now. Yeah. A month and some weeks.
You walked in and you were like, three weeks off boys.
Ai had all this fucking side fat and belly fat that just went away. But ai most importantly, I just feel better. Like, I never have days where I’m recovering from being drunk. Like, I sound like shit now because I have allergies, which is hilarious because I always made fun of people.
I was like, they’re like, yeah, in three to five years, you’ll get allergies. I’m like, shut up pussy. I’m not getting these fucking bitch ass allergies you guys get? Now here I am. Yeah. So you wiping Yeah. It’s so annoying. It’s so annoying for tip for everybody to be right.
Oh, yeah. My wife gets me on that honey natural. If you get honey from a local honey
It gets rid of your allergies.
I’ve heard that too. But the lady that we had in here that was a beekeeper says it’s bullshit. Fuck. Yeah. Not only that, she said most honey that like, not most. She said a lot of honey that you buy in the store is not really honey. Yeah. They they fuck you. They put, like, corn syrup and some fucking this and that and yeah. They’ve they they have fake honey.
Is anything real? Ain’t that crazy? Why would
they do that? China. They’re getting us. They’re like,
these dummies, they’re not gonna check. They’re not gonna check. Because Do you remember what she
said, Jamie? What percentage she said? But she did say that a lot of honey was fake honey. Right? Bro.
It doesn’t make sense because that’s such a thing that’s been natural in my head since the dawn of time. Right, honey?
Have you ever seen those cats that, in the Himalayas? Ai think it’s in is it Tibet? Where is it where they get that, psychedelic honey called Mad Honey? Meh, Jamie?
it’s mad. Who brought that in for us? We did it during the show. Yeah. We ai took some Mad Honey during the show.
That’s right. Shah brought it. Shout out to Sonny. It wasn’t I mean, I was fine. I really didn’t do anything that crazy. You definitely knew that you were on something. But we he was ai, take a little bit. I’m like, fuck this. Give me a teaspoon. I took the whole teaspoon.
I’m like, let’s go. I’m like, if I wanna I wanna go. Ai, Joey Diaz always says, I wanna meet the devil. Ai your micro dosing. I’m trying to
meet the devil. You guys are fucking crazy.
do that before stage. School.
You would take a full nugget of a mushroom.
Don’t tell the the police are listening.
Okay. Well, you’re eating something.
I don’t know what it was.
that that is the first thing we have to make legal. We gotta get Trump on mushrooms. Just get him to have a little ai. He’d be like, I’m really killing the game. Yeah. You are killing the game, sir.
Meh wife is His mushroom’s great. Yeah. God, that’d be
crazy to him on mushrooms.
Oh my ai. Sai every politician should be on mushrooms. All wars would end. Do you know how crazy that is for me to say that and it’s also true? It sounds so stupid also because it’s me and I’m stupid. But if I but if like ai a a scholar of someone who you really trusted the pinnacle of science today said, if we could just go meh the whole world on mushrooms, the whole all all the wars would stop.
Vatsal. Ai. Everyone would stop dehumanizing people. Everyone would stop treating people like others. Everyone would ai, like, oh, wow.
We’re we’re really all connected in some bizarre way that’s difficult to interface with ai. But we’re all connected. We get selfish, we think about ourself only, but if we cannot, ai, that’s like one of the beautiful things about camaraderie and community. If you cannot, then you all sort of ai lock in you realize, like, we’re all experiencing this thing together.
We’re all ai one thing that’s separated by biology, but our our soul, our spirit, our whatever it is that is us inside of our meat bag
Is a soul and it’s connected to all the other souls in some strange way. And if you can figure out, it’s almost like you’re listening to some it’s almost like there’s jackhammers going off around you, but you hear a really good song in the distance. Ai, God, I can almost hear that song.
It’s almost beautiful. Yeah. Yeah.
Ai, you ever been at a restaurant, everybody’s talking, but there’s some jam is playing on the radio and you’re like, I almost hear that song. Yeah.
Just a Marvin Gaye stepping through.
Ai, that’s what it’s like. Yeah. I think there’s different strategies that people use to try to get there, and I think God is one of them. Ai, even the concepts of God, I think what you’re trying to do is to get to that place where you ai, like, through strategies of, like, tactics of following commandments and having a mindset and and giving all your faith to Jesus and all your faith that you’re ai, just by act of doing that, what you’re doing is you’re trying to get closer and closer to whatever the fuck that that beautiful, beautiful song is that’s playing amongst all the noise because you know it’s there.
It’s just ai, you’re downhill downhill downhill downhill.
Meh. Ai. I oh my I I remember I
don’t know who this comic said this, but it was great. I always talk about this joke, but he sai, how people think they’re Americans or Chinese or whatever, but we’re all on this planet, like, just zoom out. Yeah. Whatever you think you are, just zoom out a little bit. It’s a trap.
It’s just like the Republican Democrat trap. It’s just like the Texas California trap. Shut up. We’re all just people. We’re all people. And you fit that’s one of the beautiful things about traveling. You meet friends in Scotland. You meet friends in Ireland. You meet friends in Australia.
Like, people are just people, man. We’re just all people. We just we adapt to whatever our environment is. We adapt to the culture, the way people sound their words out, you know. Yeah, dude. I wanna fit in. If you wanna fit in, you move to the South and start saying y’all, you know.
I’m I’m from Memphis, Tennessee. Oh, that’s right.
You’ve always had Yeah. Yeah. You’ve always had a y’all pass. Yeah. Ai.
I’ve been a y’all. I’ve been a y’all.
I was born in New Jersey and I’m mostly Italian. For me, y’all is a stretch. That’s a that’s I don’t wanna be disingenuous.
Does it ever come out of you?
No. Never? For funsies. Yeah. But it never accidentally comes out. Like, y’all y’all gonna go? You know, that, you know I’m 57.
I say you. Are you ai? It’s like, Luke. Ai, accents are weird, man. You don’t realize you have them until you hear them, and you’re like, woah. Why do I sound like that?
It’s impressive when you see people who can do them.
I didn’t know I had a a deep Boston accent until I was on television for the first ai. When I was 19, I won the Bay State games and I was on this, like, local TV news thing and I got a chance to hear myself on TV. I was like, oh, my God. It sound like a fucking idiot. Like, what is this? Ai, heavy Boston accent.
Yeah. You don’t have it as bad. Ai got rid of it.
Yeah. I’m like, that’s a dumbass accent.
But then you started talking to everybody with a million different accents on the pod. So you and I heard all the different versions. You get
neutral after a ai. I think Your your voice gets neutral. But you’re not all the
way ai newscaster neutral where it’s just that and now. That ai of shit.
The opposite of comedy. Right? Because that doesn’t hypnotize anybody. Oh, no. When that ai talking the news, like, this is a presentation from NBC News. Yeah. Look at my tie. Look at the pocket square.
I ram a serious person. Most of those guys are freaks. That’s what I I I love when those guys get caught. Oh, yeah. They’re just those guys are just doing coke and banging up there.
Just in a harem of gay meh,
it’s insane. They’re just valets or animals. These guys are and
then but on television, I present the news. Ai, they’re wearing a cock ring. Fucking freaks. All those ai all those people that pretend to be proper, those are the ones you gotta keep your eye on.
Yeah. They never have real opinions either. It’s all just whatever.
It’s just a job. Bill Cosby was the guy who pushed the most for clean comedy.
Ain’t that crazy? That’s is it though? Is it though? Like like scolding everybody for their language and their subject matter? God. He was scold comedians.
That Eddie Murphy bit is so good though when he told Richard Pryor that Bill Cosby, he’s like, you making money? Yeah.
A lot of people laugh. People laugh? Yeah. Do you get paid? Yeah. Yeah. Tell Bill to have a coke and a smile
and shut the fuck up. It’s one of the greatest jokes of all time, dude. It’s so good.
Well, it was so good too because Eddie Murphy could do such good impressions.
Yeah. Yeah. And all the accents.
He’s another one. Like, this is stop doing comedy. Like, if Eddie Murphy would have been bigger than all of them. All the arena acts we’re talking about before, Eddie Murphy would have been bigger. Bigger. Bro, he was so good. He was so powerful. Go back and watch Delirious.
Oh my god. He was, like, 20.
Hey. That’s what’s crazy. Whenever I do watch Delirious, I’m like
He was, like, 20. And he’s got full command
of this, what, 4,000 seater, 5,000 seater? Murdering.
Wearing a leather jumpsuit or some shit.
Chest out. Fucking ass out, dude.
Yeah. This is crazy. It’s but it’s interesting, like, people people, the past they choose in ai. You know?
Movies. Movies should be calling Ai think it’s called
Yeah. I’ve heard you say that to a song once about, writing jobs. He’s like, it’s a velvet prison.
That’s another velvet prison. But, like, I’m sure Damon Wayans had a good time making all those TV shows, but it wouldn’t have been amazing to see him being this guy that’s, like, selling out arenas all over the world. Like, that’s where it should be.
still be doing it right now.
He could do it right now. He could just abandon all that TV nonsense right now and go back to it and still be one of the best alive. You know that guy records, like, every show? He has a a camera that he takes with him on a tripod. He sets it up. He records every fucking shah, and he puts them all on his computer. He goes, I’ve been doing this since ’94.
That’s so many and and how many specials he he doesn’t have.
No. Doesn’t have a lot of specials.
Yeah. Compared to other guys where you see
Not compared to how good he is.
Yeah. It’s crazy. Meh just you know, someone’s paying you, you go, you enjoy your work, you like it. You know, there’s nothing wrong with those decisions, and he’s obviously very successful. But, you know, when you you gotta think, like, when you see guys like Schultz selling out arenas and Burt selling out arenas and Tony selling out arenas, and it’s like, this don’t you
wanna get in on that? Like, hello, man.
Talk to me, Damon. I help I’ll help you.
Oh my god. That’d be sick to see him make a comeback. Yeah. I ai
love to see him do that. I just think after a while, do you really wanna work for somebody? Do you really wanna show up and, you know, read the script and do the table? I mean, do you wanna do that? No. Fuck.
I love just showing up 08:00. Oh, man. Get up four or five times in a night. Oh, there’s nothing. I love it. I mean, the idea of doing some stuff seems fun, but the to make it my I saw Seinfeld say that. He was like, meh, this it’s one of the we have one of the few jobs where people want this job. Yeah.
How many like, very rarely do I see it. I don’t know if there’s an there’s no job where I’m like, I’d like to really like to be that. Yeah. This is the job.
It’s one of them. That’s for sure. Rock shah is probably the big one.
Rock star is probably the biggest. Yeah. But I don’t See, the
rock star thing, they could sing the same ass song every night forever. Yeah. Ai, if you’re the Rolling Stones, you could still sing Brown Sugar. Nope. Can’t sing it anymore.
Can’t sing that one. No. Wait a minute. They don’t
sing Brown Sugar anymore.
Bro, you ever sai the lyrics to Brown Sugar?
What are the actual lyrics?
There’s a reason why they don’t sing it anymore. It’s a great song. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still on my Spotify playlist. But if you I think it I might have pulled it out. I might get scared. Wait till you
see the lyrics. That playlist is crazy long. It’s great.
Yeah. The playlist is crazy.
We meh we get turned up in there.
Yeah. We do. I think that playlist is, like, thirty five hours long now.
I love it. Because every once in sai
look at it. Thirty three. Thirty three hours and forty nine minutes.
and then I’ll I’ll be like, who the fuck is playing this? And I ai at me just like
it’s like, Joe, who who got you on the Black Panther album? Yeah. Let’s listen to some random shit. Hey, who got you on this?
Oh, yeah. I love a good random shit. Like, if I’m in a bar and I hear some cool random song, I love like that’s why I love that Shazam app. Oh, that’s so nice.
Here it is. Yeah. Gold Coast Slave ship bound for Cotton Field sold in a market down in New Orleans. Scarled slaver knows he’s doing ai. Hear him whip the women just around midnight. Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown sugar just like a young girl should. Yeah. Yeah. Drums beating.
Cold English blood runs hot. Lady of the house wondering if wondering where it’s gonna stop. Houseboy knows that he’s doing alright. You should have heard him just around midnight. This song’s horrific.
Brown Sugar, how comes he tastes so good? Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Ai, meh down on the ground, Bryden Sugar. How come you taste so good? Get down, get down, brown sugar, just like a young girl should. I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boyfriends were 16. I’m no schoolboy, but I know what I like.
You should have heard me just around midnight. This song’s crazy.
He was fucking Mick Jagger
was losing his mind. This is
a crazy song. Just to ai all this down, slave shah? Did you say slave ship?
Just like a young girl shah. What do you what?
That brown sugar, you taste so good.
Sold in a market? What? And and then scroll down a little bit. This was another one that Sai Ai not sure what they’re saying here. Hold on. Go scroll down a little bit. Oh, yeah. I bet your mama was a tent show queen.
What the fuck does that mean?
What is a tent show queen? What’s a tent show?
Well, it’s whatever it is, she’s getting fucked. Something horrible. Whatever happened in that tent.
That song is crazy. So they don’t play that song anymore when you go see the Stones.
You saw them? You’ve seen them live? Yeah.
Bro, you see them ai. You can’t believe you’re they’re really there. They’re like you’re like, is that really them? It just seems so strange. A tent show.
Yeah. They’re probably one of the if not, another definitely one of the biggest bands of all time.
Tent shows are generic term for traveling shows that pitch tents. So a tent show queen would have been a feature performer probably in a vaudeville act. If the song is progressing forward in time, the fact that she had a 16 year old’s boyfriend suggests she’s either extremely sexually liberal or more likely prostituting herself.
If she’s prostituting herself, the power dynamic is reiterated a black woman at the mercy of paying white men. What kind of fucking scholarly take on this? Yeah.
What is that? What are they saying? This is so
weird. No. That’s fucking crazy.
There’s a weird definition. Yeah.
There’s a website that gives you insight on lyrics. It’s crowd sourced, but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s accurate.
Oh, I see. I see. Because I’m reading this. I’m like, the power dynamic is reiterated. What? A black woman at the mercy of paying white men. Yeah. She ai herself during the show and then sleeps on the side. If what is that? I’m not you know.
Those shows though, ever seen any of those? Those black box shows?
Used to be monsters. They were monsters. They were monsters. And carnery carnies would come into town, these carnival people and rob everybody and steal sana probably murder. Just dirty people traveling around ai to stay alive and conning people out of their money and, you know, the bearded lady.
She’s got fucking glued hair stuck to her face. You know? What did I pay to see?
They still do that shit. Oh, yeah. We you ever heard of this place called The Box in London? And they have one in New York too, but The Box? No. Schultz took me, this fucking psychopath. We go to The Box. It’s after the after we do Royal Albert Hall. It’s a great night.
We go to The Box around 2AM. That’s when the show starts. Really? It’s one of those kind of shows.
Two AM. They take your phone. They lock it up. Woah. Joe, there’s people shitting on stage and rubbing themselves in shit and fucking each other on stage What? And putting crazy huge dildo rods on each other.
Are you getting anybody in trouble by saying this?
No. This is sai this is an organized business.
We have multiple of these. The box. Yep. That’s it. And they were
Shitting on Joe. Shitting on each other.
Did you worry about getting shit on you while you were there? How cool sweet are these people?
We had, like, a nice little booth. Luckily, we were with Schultz. We had a nice man.
You gotta know when to panic and get out of the building if shit starts flying around.
Once people start shitting in public, like, I’m out.
They’re rubbing it. I I can walk in to something blind.
I don’t have to be here in person.
That ai, it was great. I was ready to fight because I was about to fight Ai and them. I walked in, and there’s trannies. There’s all, you know, there’s there’s all kind of people in there.
Right when I walk in with a big dude dressed like a woman, but a dude I mean, big ripped Right. Just fucking reach for my balls and dick as we’re walking in. Oh, boy.
Oh, oh, yeah. What the fuck, man?
I’m looking at but nobody else sees this happen. Me and him at this office, and then he keeps walking. And I’m now I’m on ten. I’m ai, oh, what the fuck? I’m you’re not having fun anymore. Now I’m I’m ready to fight. This is crazy. This guy just, like, trying to touch my dick.
What the fuck is going on? Kevin Spacey. Yeah. And they think Kevin Spacey me. He fucking Kevin Spacey me.
think amongst that meh, that is a common way of saying hello.
was working for I saw him later fucking having pretty much having sex with a guy later.
Yeah. But You just sana take a chance. You look like your gay ai is what he’s trying trying to say.
I think he saw the flagrant. I don’t know what he He beats you beautiful. Yeah. But Maybe
That’s what Schultz said later. Probably.
I didn’t know. So I’m hot.
I’m on 10, but they think I’m on 10 because everyone’s gay. So Schultz and them are ai, Derek, you gotta stop being homophobic, man. Like, it’s just a weird show.
about to fucking kill you guys. Like, I tried to grab my dick. And it was just a whole it was like a curve your enthusiasm level of miscommunication. But, I mean, it was one of the I’ve never been more mad.
Yeah. Well, I I just, the idea of some a grown man touching my dick physically like that, it was just
Like being disrespected like that. Yeah. It’s scary.
It’s scary. Well, imagine being a woman and that happens. That’s what I was thinking. Yeah.
That’s that’s real. There’s some there’s bad people out ai. You know. Guys grabbing asses in bars and bryden up boyfriends and Yeah. You gotta be careful. You can run into the wrong dudes. You know how people are jealous of, you know, other comic success? Well, that ain’t shit compared to, like, the way ugly dudes are jealous and handsome guys with a good looking girl. You know, then ai guy becomes the enemy.
Look at this fucking pussy. Look at this fucking pussy with that girl. Look at her at the fucking pussy. And they all those mutts, they all get together and speak mutt language. Yeah. Fuck him. Probably from out of town.
Probably from that other piece of dirt where all those pussies live. Where are you from pussy?
Over the road. Yeah. Some fucking rival baseball team that beat them when they’re in seventh grade, and they still haven’t let go of it.
Yeah, dude. They get pissed.
Yeah. There’s a lot of idiots in the world, man. They all need mushrooms. All of them.
Yeah. Yeah. Mushrooms would make you you’d bryden all that towny shit. Shit.
Oh, my Ai. This is so silly.
Hey. You realize how big the world is.
Yeah. I picked such a small camp. A town of 2,200 in the middle of Nebraska. I’m sure I’m trying to start fights with the people from Des Moines. Yeah. Oh, fucking Iowa faggots. People are so silly. They’re so silly.
God, how fast would you have kicked that guy into oblivion if you try to grab your dick like that?
Well, you don’t sana just escalate right to like extreme violence. That’s
That’s what I told social media. They’re like, why
you look so angry and I was like, bro, I was on you know, you hit that point where it’s ai, I’m not having fun anymore.
You gotta be careful, man. People get stabbed. People get shot. People you don’t extreme violence is should be reserved for really defending yourself. Yeah. You have to defend yourself. Exactly. To know you’re actually being attacked.
That guy was literally trying to have this guy on Molly. I’m sure he’s drugged up. You’re on Molly. You’re on this. You’re on that. Yeah. Cocaine and you’re fucking you’re ai like a fairy.
You should never exchange violence with someone unless you fucking have to. You shouldn’t do. Avoid it all. That’s why I never had any street fights. Ai, avoid it at all cost.
I had ai one in high school. Well, I had two two in high school. They were nothing though. No big deal. But then once I arya competing, I was done with all that. Yeah. But if you do tune somebody up, like, they die ai. Like, what my instructor was saying is true, especially in the real world because people fall and they hit their head on the concrete. That happens.
People die like that all the time. They get knocked out. Their head bounces off the concrete, and then they’re dead. Yeah. It’s like getting a giant rock dropped on your head from, like, a second story building. Yeah. Think about what the the Earth is.
You know, like, the earth like, the concrete is immobile and so hard, and all of the weight of your two hundred plus pound body falls backwards and your head bounces off that concrete, and it’s the most sickening sound.
God, you hear it all the time on that mat when people get knocked out.
Yeah. But that’s, like, way safer
Than getting knocked out on the concrete. But, yeah, I do hear it all the time. It’s it it bothers the shit out of me when I see someone’s head bounce. When they get KO’d and their head bounces off the ground, ai, oh. Bro, did you ever see the one when, Josh Emmett knocks out Bryce Mitchell? Mm-mm. Oh, my god, dude.
Is one of the worst one punch knockouts in the history of this sport. He knocks him out and Bryce Mitchell’s legs are twitching, and he’s, like, locked up completely out cold. And when he goes down now imagine someone gets hit like that on the street, and you fall back like that on concrete.
So not only do you get destroyed by the punch, but then you get destroyed again by the earth with covered in concrete bouncing off the back of your head with all the weight of your body and leverage to the back. The head is the first thing that hits. Your head flies back and all this weight is bang. Watch this. Well, this is this is a crazy knockout dude.
It’s so fast. You don’t even really see it.
Look at his his legs start shaking. Yeah. You hear DC saying he’s shaking. He’s shaking, Joe.
Flush. Flush. And Josh Emmett is a little tank. I mean, he’s hundred and forty five pounds for about five seconds till he weighs in, then he probably weighs about one seventy and he hits ai a fucking mule. Look at this. Boom. Look at the back of
Look how he’s built, man. And imagine how much force is involved in that guy punching you in the face.
Oh, the craziest one I ever seen live was we we were together. We were in Phoenix, and it was when Tony fir Chandler kicked Tony Ferguson. Oh my god. That’s one of the scariest ones. I remember I was because I was high too. I’m not sure.
was ai Oh, you watched his soul leave
his body. I come back, Joe. Spiral back down. It was It
was scary. I remember how scared I was for this grown man. I’m like, oh my god. He hasn’t moved. And he just seen
One of the best front kicks of all time. That’s perfect. The technique is perfect.
I meh, and that’s a real picture. That’s vatsal lie that he made his face look like that.
That’s so crazy. He looks like like a grandpa in a Pixar movie.
But, oh. That was that was a scary that was the scariest ai I’ve seen, but my favorite knockout I’ve ever seen was, that I mean, we were all in the green room. I don’t know if you were there for this one, but it was Whitney’s weekend. It was, like, 12 15 of us in that green room, and it was when Izzy knocked out Poatan, knocked out Oh my god. Pereira.
him back. Greatest celebration of all time.
Yeah. That line sticks with me.
Sai it to him. Whole thing from beginning to end. The three arrows into his body while he was down. Breaks it. Yeah. Izzy looks at his son and then falls on his back to mock his son because his son had mocked him. That’s how many
he is. Years ago. He looks
at his sana, he falls down ai the kid did. Yep. A little kid. And then he pops
He he then he pops back up, and then he gives, like, the best post fight speech in the history of the sport.
It was like he wrote it already. It was beaut I remember how beautiful it was.
Feel this one ai. In your life. Yeah. Here it is. Oh. And watch this.
I mean, that lights you up, dude.
Bro. And then watch this. He finds the sun. Remembers. He remembers. Look. Look. Ai points to you. Look. You. You. You. You. Check this out.
That kid’s ai seven years old. That’s fucking Kenny, that’s literally That’s so petty. That’s so petty. That’s so
petty. That is so petty. Wait. Remembered.
Found him. Oh, yeah. He’s like, well, yeah. Check this out.
Mother he’s like, I forgot. Now, Joe, was he lulling him? Was he when he No.
He was getting fucked up.
He was really getting fucked up. Okay.
Yeah. His leg he told me that his leg was getting compromised already. One of the things in the first fight so the first fight in the UFC, Powhatan wins and he wins by stoppage. And Izzy said, I wasn’t even really hurt. I just couldn’t move because he had fucked my leg up so much. I couldn’t get out of the way of his punches. Damn.
He’s like, but I I wasn’t hurt, like, real badly hurt to the point where he’s wobbling. He’s ai, my leg wasn’t working. He kicked the shit out of his leg. He his calf kicks are so nasty. He’s ai, out of all the people in the sport, he’s the worst guy to have kick your calves because he sneaks them in.
And there’s two and three and before you know it, oh, fuck. My leg don’t work anymore.
you’re trying to get away.
He’s teeing off. And you got one leg and you’re
trying to dance and pretend sai you’re putting all the weight on this leg. So you’re trying to pretend like you got two legs but he can tell. He could tyler. Thud. He hits it again. Thud. So he he had Izzy in real trouble but he opened up too much. He’s opened up too much.
And, you know, to order to, like, close in on someone and bang them out, like, you gotta leave yourself exposed sometimes. There’s risks to reward. Right? And the the the cautious, patient thing to do is you you throw a lot of faints and then you throw your shots in. But he was just teeing off at this point.
And when you’re just teeing off, you’re assuming that the ai incapable of countering in a to a certain extent or not that he’s incapable, you’re you’re taking the risk of getting countered. You know? Whereas if he just kept playing that game and, like, fainting and moving and and slowly picking and poking and no he just charged in a little too much. Mhmm.
He, you know, he thought Izzy was hurt more than he was. And then Izzy got him.
One of the greatest knockouts of all ai. Especially when you think about ai the significance of it and you think about like historically, you know, two great champions. One guy who had knocked him out in kickboxing and then knocked him out in the UFC and then he knocks him out cold and gets petty.
then after petty gets super inspirational Yeah. And gives one of the greatest post fight speeches of all time. I think the greatest. I don’t think there’s ever been a better oh, maybe maybe Rose Namajunas. That was right up there too. That one made me cry. Yeah.
I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. She’s sick. She’s a badass too, dude. Yeah. But, yeah, that is the one, man. That’s I mean, he’s the reason I never he got me into the idea of UFC. I never before before he got into because he was under the nerd stuff.
And I couldn’t believe that there was a guy who was, like, being like, yo, I’m a I’m a nerdy dude. I like nerd shit. Yeah. And I’m kicking the fuck out of people. Mhmm. And that got me locked in. And also, like, a sweetheart. Sweetheart of a guy.
So fun just to hang out with and shoot the shah. He’s silly. He’s fun. Oh, dude. He’s playful. You know, he’s just a real good guy. Real smart.
Oh, he took us to a club when we were in Brisbane with me and Schultz with him.
And we just danced till ai three in the morning. Just fucked up.
us to ai some local spot that he likes, you know. Oh,
He’s just the fucking man. But, yeah. Yeah. The nerd should make me lock in a ai.
It’s interesting how different those guys I mean, like, we’re talking about, like, Dustin Poirier, like, having a regular life. Like, the same thing with Izzy. Like, how do you have a regular life after you did that? You did that. You did that in front of the whole world. The whole world was watching.
It was there was so many consequences on that. That fight because you were winning he was winning that first fight. Yeah. He was winning. You know?
He was ahead on points. And then the fourth round or the it was a fourth or the fifth we got put out. You know, it was, you know, it was devastating. Like, this motherfucker got him again.
Because he got robbed in the first kickboxing ai. Izzy got robbed, in my opinion. I went I watched that fight several times. I meh, robbed is a tough description, but I would say I do not agree with the decision. I think Izzy won that kickboxing fight. And then the second kickboxing fight, Izzy had him on skates.
Eddie had Izzy had him hurt at one point in time, but he recovered, and then he caught Izzy with a left hook from hell. Just a left hook from hell. That motherfucker hit so hard, dude.
He hit so hard, and he wasn’t as big back then as he is now. Like, he a lot of strength and conditioning works since then. Like, he didn’t doesn’t look the same, like, then as he does now. Now he looks way more strong. And so he he knocks him out, and then they fight in the UFC, and he knocks him out again. And then Izzy finally knocks him out.
And then he puts the arrows in his body for the three times he beat him. Yeah. I know. He said that was like he didn’t even think of that. He just did three. He just felt like doing three, but it was really the three ai he beat him.
And it just came out of his body.
out of his body. This motherfucker got me three
times. And then I fuck. Oh,
the stage that night, but we ruined their set because they came on stage like, oh, yeah. You just I’m I’m in the middle of a joke and you just hear 30 people in the
green room go, oh. And I thought, Whitney too. Oh, all of us.
Because it was just, oh, this is a moment, dude.
And you can feel it when it just the way he did it and then when he’s yelling. But that’s one of the most ai, that speak. It whenever I’m working out or doing anything that fortify your mind, it plays in my head, fortify
your mind. Jamie played that for us one time. It’s it’s, like, one of the greatest speeches of all ai. And, you know, he asked me for the microphone too.
Yeah. I was ai, yeah. People,
Ai, I need to say something. Listen to me.
I hope every one of you behind the screens on this arena can
feel this level of happiness just one time in your life. I hope all of you can feel how fucking happy I am just one time in your life. But guess what? You’ll never feel this level of happiness if you don’t go for something in your own life when they knock you down, when they try and shit on you, when they talk shit about you, and they try and put their foot on your neck.
If you stay down, you will never ever get that result. Fortify your mind and feel this level of athleticism to rise. One time in your life when I’m blessed to be able to feel this shit
again and again and again and again and again.
Ai you rise. I mean, it it sounds like something from a movie,
like a speech before war.
It sounds like like 15 writers sat in a room and came up with the perfect perfect lines.
Yeah. And then If that was in the movie Gladiator, I’d be like, oh, yeah. That’s what that’s that’s how good that is.
And I bet that just came out of the moment. I didn’t even ask him. I should ask him next time I ai to him. I bet that just came right out of the moment. It was just right there. It was a perfect event for him. It was perfect. The way it went down was perfect. You couldn’t you could never script that better in a movie. No.
To see him flattened out out cold and then put arrows in his unconscious body. Oh.
He knocked out a Easter egg island, man. Guy fucking
Bro, Alex Burrow is the scariest kickboxers ever competed in the sport. He’s ai the one guy above all that I would say if he hits you once, you’re dead. He just has to hit you once. Ai all the guys I’ve ever seen fight, I don’t think anybody Ai could say that more than that ai, including in kickboxing, in everything.
He has more power than anybody I’ve ever seen. In fact Even boxing? Even even? I don’t think I’ve seen anybody that hits harder than that guy. Anybody. Wow. Ever.
Ever. Ever. Except Francis Ngannou. But Francis Ngannou is two sixty five.
But in in weight class, like weight class to weight class, Francis sai put anybody out too, but he’s not at the same skill level as Poatan. So when Poatan does it, it’s ai like when he switch kicked Yuri Prochaska and KO’d him at the beginning of the second round. Yeah. Jesus Ai.
Like, what the fuck, man?
And he KO’d him already at the end of the
Yeah. This is terrifying. That dude’s terrifying. Just absolutely terrifying. That power is just from this is like from God. It’s like he’s got a gift. He’s got a weird gift. This is different than every he You know, there’s this machine where you punch it and it registers the amount of power.
With Francis, it was ai a 30 something. Something like that. Right? Francis, ai, one thirty something. Poton got one ninety one. One 90 one.
With his with his right hand and I don’t even think his right hand is his power punch. I think it’s his left hook. That’s the big one. I bet the big one, the left hook is over one ninety one. It’s bananas. His power it’s not like anybody else. So when is he knocked that guy out?
That you gotta understand. That’s that’s different.
That’s different. He’s ai that’s the top of the mountain. That’s the top of the mountain in the sport. It’s ai one of the greatest accomplishments in the sport. Yeah. It really is.
Would you say Poetan is the fastest rise you’ve ever seen in the UFC? Never.
To two division world champions? Yeah. No one’s even close. Because that guy never says no. They call him up. You wanna fight next weekend? Yes. Oh, yes. Just wait. It just fights. He fought with a broken toe. He fought a broken hand the last time. His hand was broken and he had a norovirus and he still fought.
I remember when he came to the mothership and they were like the security, like, it was terrifying because he was like, I want to meet Joe now.
Ai security were like, I don’t know what to do.
You know, me and DC were in the hallway upstairs in the mothership, and he’s teaching us how he checks the calf kick, how he throws the calf kick different than everybody else. And he’s having Saloni, his coach Yeah. Is translating. So it was me and DC and we’re both standing there and you know that little area where the elevator is where the VIP is?
So we’re standing there in this little crowded area. It’s like five of us and Powhatan is kicking my legs and he’s kicking DC’s legs and he’s explaining how he lifts his leg up this way and this is how he checks it and you’re like, oh, shit. God damn. And both DC and I, would we tell people about this? Like, I don’t even know if I wanna give this up. Yeah.
Because this is information.
Because this is, like, very good information. Wow. Like, he he never gets hurt with calf kicks. And then see, ai, the way he checks them, he does like a hacky sack thing. A lot of people are doing it now. But he was like one of the first guys to figure that out. That he does like this hacky sack move.
So when you go to kick his legs, instead of just checking it
turns it into the kick, he lifts his leg up, and his leg just kinda goes like this, and the the kick just goes whee. He just kinda grazes it. So it never pounds on his calf the way he pounds on theirs.
When it’s just straight and boom, you’re getting that force while you’re playing it.
But he also has a different ai. Like, he’s not heavy on the front leg because he like, some guys are heavy on the front leg because they wanna take him down quick. So they wanna be able to, like, move and take him down, and those are the guys that are gonna have a harder time getting away from that kick.
Because the you got so much weight on that tyler, so we just thud thud thud. And then now your calf is numb. Your foot is limp. Your foot’s just dangling around your ankle.
Oh, that guy’s terrifying ai.
And again, like how does a guy like that go and become a regular person? How do you how do you integrate and just be a regular guy after that?
It’s gotta be very weird. Like, Shah figured it out. Yeah. Shaub but Schaub got lucky that he found podcasting, you know, and he, you know, found his car shah, all gas no bryden. So he he found a way to transition and still have a good time. Yeah. It’s very few guys.
Because you see, I I remember just the era of watching Tyson go from fighting to
Finding a rhythm. Yeah. You know, and being in a movie.
So there’s ai find there’s like fighters like Shah, elite fighter, you know, top 10 heavyweight in the UFC. But then there’s champions, world champions. Guys who sell out arenas, pay per view stars, like Connor. How’s that guy go and be a regular person? How do you do that? You can’t. Yeah.
It’s like, I mean, they they there’s no coaches for that where they teach you how to reintegrate and become normal.
Yeah. Ai George Foreman, man. He feels like the only one who was like, he found the grill and
was like, dude, I’m fucking You made
a lot of money with that grill.
of money. But he also came back when he was 36.
Yeah. He won it again, didn’t he?
Yeah. He he went all the way through till he was 45 and he knocked out Michael Moore, which is crazy. Like, nobody did that back then. When he came back at 36, I remember news articles about it. I remember feeling sai. Mhmm. Because I knew George Foreman when I was a child.
Like, George Foreman on TV, we knocked out Joe Frazier. When, Ali beat him in Africa, That was a famous story because Hunter s Thompson went there, and he was supposed to, watch it and write a story for Rolling Stone about it, but he was so sad that Ali was gonna get fucked up that he decided not to go to the fight.
So he stayed in his hotel and just floated around the pool and he fucked up the whole assignment. And it was kinda and in the documentary, they say it was ai like a pivotal moment in the downturn of his life where he kinda ai fucked his life up. Really? Yeah. Because he failed in his assignment. He didn’t and back then, you couldn’t watch the tape, you know. This we’re talking about the nineteen seventies. Yeah.
So after the fight’s over, the fight’s over. You did you missed the fight. You don’t have a story. And so he didn’t have a story. And he went all the way to Africa and just fucked off because he was just being silly. And they’re like, oh meh god. I’m a failure.
I failed in my story. And it was like a downturn in in his life kinda takes a dark turn after that.
God, it’s crazy how much because you hear that and it’s that speech that Ali gave, which is also one of the most inspiring to everyone. He’s like,
I know you got him picked. I know you
all got him picked. That you know, he gets that one. I’ll show you how great I am. Yeah. And it’s ai, wow. To hear that, even Hunter s Thompson sai like, oh, wow. The every casual must have been like, oh, Ali’s about to get fucking.
Oh, you gotta understand, man. George Foreman was a machine. He was different. You ever seen George Foreman punch the heavy bag? No. Bro, he punches the heavy bag different than everybody because he winds up. Not only does he wind up and punch the heavy bag, he has it stay still and he just hits it so hard, and it’s so terrifying that that’s all he has to do in a boxing match.
He just has to kinda cover up and get close enough to just wump you. Just wump, wump. And a lot of it is arm punches. Look at this. Listen to this. Give me some volume.
And he had a trainer, Dick Sadler, a tiny by comparison to Foreman. And Sadler would hang on to the heavy bag, but Foreman would
this this bag. Sana would just literally be picked off his feet. Oh my god.
Foreman hitting the heavy bag is one of the, more prodigious ai I’ve had in my life. It seems to me that of all the people I’ve seen hitting heavy bags, including Sonny Liston, no one ever hit it the way Foreman
did. So all he’s practicing is hitting hard. He’s not trying to be slick. You notice the difference? Yeah. He’s been the the way ai Canelo hits the heavy bag or Floyd hits the heavy bag, they’re working skills.
When will you see Tyson do it? And that head is going crazy.
Tyson hit the heavy bag better than anybody in the history of the world. Better than anybody. Because he hit the heavy bag with all these crazy angles and speak. Speed like a lightweight. Speed like a lightweight. He’s bouncing. 214 pounds moving like a lightweight. Nobody was like that dude. I still maintain he’s the greatest.
I think for you know, a lot of people shit on meh. They said, no way. You don’t know shit about boxing. I just think that run when Cus D’Amato was training him to the ai. Cus was already dead when he won the title to, like, a few fights afterwards.
Losing Cus, he lost his way a little bit, but but that run when he was the meh, when he knocked out Marvis Ai, I think that’s the greatest heavyweight of all time. I don’t think anybody’s even close. I think he fucks them all up.
I think he fucks them all, but they fight him during that time.
People like to discredit things because of the whole career, but they don’t wanna give credit to a run. When you see somebody have a run that’s
It’s all about the run. It’s all about the run. Unreal. That’s why I always put BJ Penn in the list of all time greats. Because during that run, when BJ Penn beat up Diego Sanchez and when BJ Penn fucked up Shah Shirk and, Joe Daddy Stevenson, when he did that, I’m like, that BJ Penn might be the baddest motherfucker alive.
Like, he might be the baddest motherfucker alive. Like, he I would have put that BJ Penn. I would have loved to see that BJ Penn versus Khabib. That would have been fucking crazy.
people think that’s a ridiculous thing to say because Khabib was so dominant sana BJ lost a bunch of ai. Like, you’re right. Argument, Ai accept that. I’m I’m I mean, I’m not Khabib might have beat him. He might have taken him down and mauled him just the same way George Sana Pierre did.
He might have. Yeah. Khabib is a big ai, especially for, ai and his grappling skills are unparalleled. Khabib grapples and does fantastic with elite world championship caliber amateur wrestlers. Ai heard stories of Khabib dominating guys in the gym at AKA that are elite wrestlers. That’s how good Khabib is.
So he might have been able to do that to BJ Penn, but BJ Penn might have got him too. BJ Penn might have got him. BJ Penn, especially when he’s training with the Marinovich’s and he had an unstoppable gas tank.
Because, he went and trained with Marv Marinovich who was like ai, psychopath football trainer. These are like radical plyometric training methods and you just all you did was strength and conditioning. It was like, you know how to fight. Stop all this fight training. We’re just gonna get you in the most insane state possible. And when they did that, BJ Penn was unstoppable.
That BJ Penn, if they eat if somebody could have corralled him and got him to stay with that guy and then train all his skills outside of camp and then only train that way when he has world title fights and never fuck off. Who knows, man? Who knows? He could have been the GOAT. He was so talented, man. Wow. So talented. That motherfucker, BJ Penn won the Mundial’s. Okay?
He was the first American to win the Mundial’s ever. The Mundial’s the world championships in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
As a black belt, three years in the training. Three years in the training. First of all, it’s insane to get a black belt in three years. But to get a black belt in three years and then win the world championships is insane. Insane.
And that’s without even hearing the context, that’s crazy because I know three years isn’t long enough to do any most things.
I was a brown belt for eight years.
I was. You were dedicated. Yeah.
It’s not like you weren’t
busting your ass. Ai it was like, you know, you don’t they don’t give those out, man. You have to earn it. It has to be real unless you’re at a terrible gym. If you’re at a legit gym
You know, if I’m training with John John Ai doesn’t give out black belts, so you gotta be real to get that. You gotta choke a lot of people to get that. And BJ Ping got it in three years. Three years. Yeah.
That’s just natural gifts, God given It’s ability.
He’s an addict. He sai it to meh, like, we had a conversation on the phone once. It was really funny. He goes, I was talking to this guy and he was really young and he was ai, you know, like, he goes, BJ, I admire you. You know, I copy your style and this and that. And he goes, man, you got so good so quick. He goes, man, I’m like you. I’m an addict.
He goes, I’m just addicted to jujitsu. He’s like, fuck, man. Then I ai that that’s it. I’m addicted to jujitsu. I got addicted to something really good. I’m addicted.
And I was like, that’s exactly what it is. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It’s the same thing that can turn you into a junkie, unfortunately.
Just put that dial Yeah. Spin that needle some towards something else. Uh-huh. And it’s over. I knew
a dude who was a world championship caliber pool player and, he was squeaky clean. He ate well. He drank water. He never drank alcohol. He didn’t smoke cigarettes. He didn’t do drugs. Straight as an arrow, super focused world championship caliber player, then he hurts his back in a car accident.
And they get him on those pills and, falls apart, man. Gets addicted to those pills the same way he was addicted to being a pool player. Jesus. The same thing that made him just obsess on pool, whereas thinking about pool so meh, it becomes ai the scariest guy to play. The same thing got him with the pills, and then he just overdosed and died young.
And but he was ai, one time, my buddies were hanging out with him and he fell asleep in his mashed potatoes, just fell asleep in his food. They were eating, he just just grayed out on pills ai into his food, and they had to pick him up out of the food, like, oh, no. This is a guy that was like straight as an arrow, clean as a whistle, super focused, always dressed nice, always looked good, you know. Yeah. Thin in shape.
Just one Just focused. Clicked to the left and
One accident and then pills, and then no one understanding how addictive those fucking pills were. The doctors never told you. Nobody nobody told anybody, You know?
Now when you see, like, those documentaries of, like, how people who just, like, broke a leg or something, and then they get them addicted to pills, and next thing you know, they lost their family, their job, everything.
I have many people that I know that that happened to. Many people that I know that got injured, got on pills, and just lost their lives. Jiu jitsu guys, friends, a lot of people. Especially, again, back before the information was available. Now everybody knows pain pills are super super addictive.
Everybody knows someone in their family. Yeah. Everybody knows someone that it just can’t get off them. Everybody knows somebody that died. I know multiple people that have died from pain pills. Yeah. And so that’s what got them. But it’s the same thing, man.
is what makes you great. Yeah.
Yeah. It’s that thing in your head that makes you obsess on something. That’s what it is. It’s like this thing where you’re trying to figure this thing out and you just wanna get better at it. But that could be hijacked by gambling. That could be hijacked by video games. That could be hijacked by any anything.
Plus, I’ve seen guys. Yeah. I’ve seen guys get
Yeah. Ram, all that stuff. That’s that seems normal to meh. That, like, makes sense, like, biologically, but the gambling one is the craziest one to me. Yeah. That’s the weirdest one because that might as well be heroin to those people. That the whatever they’re getting out of, like, risking a hundred thousand dollars on a football game, I just swack
a bunch of your mother’s pockets. You motherfuckers.
do that, I was like, oh. Yeah. Gives me so much anxiety.
Oh, you whenever in Vegas and you’re walking through a casino, you just see people at that slot machine. Yeah. And they’re just glazed over.
It’s like the dumbest version of it though. But the big the risking everything on a game or risking everything on, like, roll the dice The roulette. Laps. Yeah. Yeah. Roulette. Like, that kind of thing is so nuts. It’s so nuts to watch. It gives me so much anxiety. Like, you ever see Uncut Gems, that Ai Sandler movie?
of the best movies. I’ve seen it a hundred times, dude.
It’s un and it just shows Adam Sandler in a way of, like, oh, this motherfucker can act act. Act. Speak can for real act. For real act. But, yeah, that movie I remember being in the theater ai I’m with my wife and she’s squirming. And I was like, what’s wrong? You alright? And she’s like, this is making me uncomfortable, Derek.
Yeah. This is making me fucking
uncomfortable. Super uncomfortable.
And I was like, yeah, this movie, it was. Because it’s the adrenaline rush you’re on. You feel like you’re gambling.
Well, the movie’s so good. It bring it locks you ai, like, we’re talking about, like, comedies, like, hypnosis. That movie was ai hypnosis. Like, it locked you in to this character and his decision making, and this this addiction to gamble that he has. And all the shady characters around, everybody’s pulling ram, and everybody doing this and that, and there’s always something happening.
There’s two movies that can lock you into a character like that where you’re like, I don’t even agree with this person sana I’m and I’m so invested.
And at the end of the movie, you’re like, what the fuck? Incredible. Spoiler alert. It’s one of those what the fuck moments where ai, what the fuck? Yeah. That movie, I I shut it off and I was just breathing heavy for five minutes.
it’s and it’s it’s I like a movie like that too where you’re ai, this feels real. This feels this feels like
said, happened to my neighbor, happened to my best friend, like this could happen to anyone. Yeah. You just get lost in this.
Yeah. Your mind is weird, man. People’s minds are strange, like, you know, minds can go down these weird pathways and it’s ai, most people don’t have a good management system for it either. So it’s like you’re driving this car with no traction control and too much horsepower. It’s flying all over the road and, you know, and you freaked out.
Yeah, dude. Fuck. Another movie that makes you feel that way is there will be blood when you’re watching it because that’s the same where you’re watching a guy Yes. Just go through this life and you’re like, I’m getting uncomfortable. He’s killing his fake brother and
he’s fucking you know what I mean? And by
the end, like you said, the ending of that one as well where you’re like What the fuck?
I showed this to my wife and she was she literally goes, Derek, why the fuck did you show me that?
you had to see it. You needed to experience this. Yeah. It’s how good this movie is. It’s an I love a movie like that where
That’s one of the greatest movies ever. Ever. For experience, just ai for sheer, like, just becoming that guy. Yes. He was that guy. He believed every single second of it. Meh. There was no soap opera acting going on at all.
No, dude. This is my son, h w. The way
The way he is. Yeah. Oh, my god. And then you sai, like, him devolve into this crazy bill because you when we see crazy billionaires, we don’t really and it’s ai to
see how a person becomes a crazy billionaire. Mhmm.
Because he’s not a regular guy in the beginning movie. He falls, breaks his leg in that hole.
what I mean? He’s a regular dude.
There’s a little element of that guy in everybody that’s a crazy billionaire.
Yes, dude. How do you get there?
You have to manage that the same way everybody manages everything else. Like, imagine, like, trying to manage being Elon Musk. Imagine trying to manage that. Imagine. Just trying to manage that.
Ai don’t know how he finds the time.
It doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t make any sense. Like, it doesn’t even seem real. Like, it could possibly be real.
Yeah. Because now he works for the government saloni with still trying to get us to Mars and all these other cool things he’s doing. You know what I mean?
And people are scrutinizing him at a level, like, they they want him to be perfect in every way. And it’s ai, you don’t get that out of these wacky geniuses. You don’t get perfect. You you get unbelievable capabilities mixed in with all kinds of flaws that even he makes fun of.
Ai, you know, he’s even talked openly about, like, self inflicted wounds that he gives himself on Twitter. He’s posted about it with, like, laughter emojis. Ai, but he’s having a good time.
would be ai watching the There Will Be Blood guy also tweeting his thoughts. Yes. It would you would see some shit where you’re ai, what
Yeah. Well, he’s not that way. He’s not ai a murderous fucking psychopath who steals people’s oil. Ai drink your milkshake.
He’s not he’s not that. No. But I just the idea like you said, it’s
a little bit in them. It has to be Well to conquer like that, I
feel like. Well, I think his drive is different than most of them and is his drive is accomplishments and innovation. Ai, he’s obsessed with getting people to Mars. He’s obsessed with the engineering involved in what they’ve accomplished already with SpaceX. The ability to take a booster, shoot it off into space, and then the booster comes down and lands and gets caught with robot arms is so off the charts beyond anything anyone else has accomplished in the world of rocketry and space science and all all the engineering involved.
It’s off the charts. Like, what SpaceX has done is it’s not appreciated enough because he’s so polarizing politically because of his affiliation with Trump and because of all the propaganda that has been spun his way. There’s some definite natural reactions that people have to him that are organic and real, and they don’t they get upset at some of the things he does. That’s real.
But also, there’s a gigantic propaganda machine that’s trying to paint him as a literal Sai. And they’re they’re doing it because they have a vested interest in keeping all these NGOs and all their funding in place exactly the same way it’s always bryden. And having a genius go into all of your fucking booking, bookkeeping and accounting is not good if you’ve been unchecked for decades and you have a fucking, just an unstoppable budget, and a lot of waste, and a lot of incompetence, and probably a bunch of fraud and theft too.
Of course. Yeah. Ai mean, they’ve they’ve acknowledged that.
You know, one of the things they sai, which is hilarious, Ai said, he found, I think it was was it social security or Medicaid a bunch of fraud? And then they were saying, well, actually, the government had already identified this two years ago. Okay. But why didn’t why didn’t you have this press conference and say Yeah.
Why did we wait? Did you just cover it up? Did you make a big deal? Did you stop it in its tracks? Did you reverse it?
Did you prosecute people? Did you get the money back? Why why are you saying, yeah, we already knew about that? Like, that’s not good enough. Like, what did what did you do? How come you didn’t find out about that $250,000,000 that went to transgender animal studies?
Like, you didn’t you didn’t notice that one? You did such a good bit about that.
$21,000,000 through Iraq and Sesame Street. You didn’t notice that? You didn’t notice ai fucking ai just so much of it is kooky. It’s sai much money And these the way NGOs and nonprofits work, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know that it’s all, like, cyclical money that’s, like, flowing around.
There’s billions of dollars. It’s just flowing around. It’s got a lot of it unchecked, and they’ve been doing it forever. And that’s why we’re $36,000,000,000,000 in debt. You know?
Not good. How how how do you know, man? How does it get that bad? I don’t know. But then there’s also legitimate, arguments on the other side.
Like, the other side is making a very legitimate argument about the right to due process if you get processed and shipped out of the country and put in a prison in El Salvador. You know, what what is the quote was it Benjamin Franklin’s quote about innocent and that it better to allow 10 guilty people to go free than one innocent person arrested.
You know, I’m on that side of things. Yeah. That’s my I mean, I think due process exists for a reason, and the reason is it is horrific for someone to be accused of something they didn’t do, be imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit, and then live in a cell, live in a cage with a bunch of
People who did commit shit.
Here it is, Benjamin Franklin. It’s better a hundred guilty person should escape than one innocent person should suffer. That that is wisdom Yeah. That has survived hundreds of years. It’s incredibly accurate, and it is the foundation of freedom. Like, we have to make sure that these people are actually guilty. Otherwise, we become monsters.
You can’t like, what is that when you ai monsters, be careful that you don’t become one.
Yeah. Yeah. That’s very important. It’s very important. You know, you can’t do that. But also, you can’t you have also to deal with the fact that the current administration is dealing with the past administration allowing known gang members and terrorists to go right through the border unchecked.
Vatsal lot of them they know got through. They don’t know the exact numbers, but they know there’s millions and millions of people illegally just walked through unchecked, and a bunch of them have to have criminal records. A bunch of them have to be dangerous, and we’ve seen crimes that have been committed.
It doesn’t help anybody on the progressive side to deny the fact that that’s a real problem. And then if it happens to your family, God forbid, I don’t want it to happen to anybody’s. But if it does, you will feel a sting of regret if you supported that, Ai anything you’ve ever experienced in your ai, you’ll be like I mean, it’s, you know, it’s one of those things where to support one side of this, you have to deny some, like, basic human values.
Either way, like, to support just rounding people up and just assuming they’re all gang members. I don’t I’m not saying they’re doing that, but this is the worst case scenario. Right? They get a bunch of people in a ram, they rope them all in, and one guy ai just someone’s cousin picking someone up to give them a ride home.
And now you’re back on the one innocent person with a and now you’re right back.
And what if that dude is not doing anything wrong and he’s got some stupid tattoos, and they decide that this guy’s a gang meh? And now now you’re in a prison in El Salvador, and you’re not even from El Salvador. And now, you know, you were just a hairdresser or you were a tattoo artist.
You came over here, and maybe you got a green card, and maybe you don’t. Maybe you were just given asylum because a lot of people from Venezuela were given asylum in America. Yeah. And then you get shipped to El Salvador where you’re not even from El Salvador. So that the fact that that exists scares the shit out of me.
But also the fact that they were just letting terrorists and gang members flow freely into the country is fucking horrible. And when you talk about innocent people, what about the innocent people that got murdered by terrorists and and well, not terrorists. That really hasn’t happened.
But gang members and this trender, Wagga, they were taking over those apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado. And, like, that’s scary shit, man. Armed with machine guns, taking over apartment buildings. Like, what are we talking about here? Like, what are we talking about? You’re you’re letting that happen?
You’re not sending in the troops to stop this? This?
think that wouldn’t in your head, you’re like, that can’t happen in Meh, in Colorado.
Bro, they got a guy that had done that in California, and they refused to deport him because they said that California is a sanctuary state. They’re, like, fighting to keep a known gang member free in America. The whole thing is bananas. It’s ai almost like you don’t wanna go full tinfoil hat Ram Tripley style and just decide ai that they’re trying to destroy America.
But if I was gonna try to destroy America, that’s how I would do it. Yeah. Ai take over the political process in in part censorship on all the social media, like, gaslight people to no end, consistently do it, astroturf stadiums filled with people pretending they support something, pay them to be there, manufacture a movement, and slowly but surely bring chaos to all the cities.
Allow, DAs to get elected that are the worst when it comes to protecting people and the best when it comes to freeing violent criminals. And that that’s the really their goal. And then they can do it on they could just use words like racial justice, like, just send out Yeah.
Send murderers back out into the streets. You just create chaos. Defund the police. Defund now now you have no police. Like, if I wanted to destroy America, I would do it this way.
I mean, that sounded what you just described sounds like a China plan like a plan from another place. It’s like, oh.
If you wanted to destroy America If
we really wanted to deal, not with war, but let’s just slowly let them kill themselves ai stuff.
And then have them at each other’s back, at each other’s throats rather. And, you know, constantly have them fighting over political issues. Let’s get rid of Roe v Wade. They’re a little too too happy right now. Get rid of Roe v Wade and the liberals are up in arms. Oh, you motherfucker.
Which was getting rid of Roe v Wade was actually a good move if you arya a democrat because then people get upset, and then they really wanna vote. Like, you could probably ignite a lot of people. And that was ai, there’s some famous videos. There’s one famous video of this lady celebrating that, Kamala Harris is gonna win. And she was ai, reproductive freedom. Women came out to vote in unprecedented numbers.
It was I’m sure you’ve seen it. It’s a video of this lady mocking this guy working at a, a liquor store. No. Did you ever see it? Uh-uh.
Unsee this. It’s so good. It’s so good because it’s like this this lady and the way she’s talking, like, you can’t be a good person and talk to someone this way or even about someone this way and be happy in the way you’re happy.
Like, it’s like, people like to be shitty to people and think that it’s justifiable to be shitty if that person disagree with you with you. So you could be shitty. Whereas the guy in this story is not being shitty to her at all, but she’s being super shitty to this guy. And, but she’s talking about reproductive ai. Because, like, that was, like, one of the big things that got people to come out and vote for the Democrats. Yeah.
If I was if I was playing four d chess and I was Democrats, like, this is what we do.
Get rid of ourselves. Get rid of ourselves. Get rid of ourselves. Get rid of ourselves.
Get rid of ourselves. Get rid of ourselves. Get rid of ourselves. Get rid
of ourselves. Get rid of ai
of yourself. Get rid of yourself. Get rid of Ai. You can find this video. It’s so funny. It’s sai poor lady. But it’s about reproductive rights. Like, she’s she’s saying that, and it was in a lot for a lot of people. That was a big one. Sai, like, you would do that. You would do that. You would get rid of that. You would try to get rid of the second amendment. Fuck second amendment. We’re gonna get rid of all guns.
Oh, the fucking gun guy. Get up for the Republicans. You know? And then, you know, you would say, we need open borders because we need the our society is population collapse, and they’re starting to say things like that. And we need, you know, who’s gonna pick cotton? They’re essentially From what the fuck?
Marketing it because they’re saying Americans don’t want these jobs, so we have to bring people in to pick our crops. Who’s gonna clean your your toilets? People are openly saying that, Like, not realizing how racist
Oh, I remember that late. The one white lady, she told me that.
She was like, who’s gonna clean your toilet if they get
It’s like, what the fuck? Who said that? Who was, like, on the Be one of those crazy views. View bitches. He’s one of them. It’ll release a show like that. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Hilarious. So there was that going on. If you wanted to, like, destroy society and make it worse, what would you do? You bring people in from a third world country, don’t have them change anything, financially incentivize them to be there, give them free money while you’re not helping the poor people in America.
They’re giving them debit cards, free housing, free food. Yeah. Putting them up in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Why old shit? If you sana to destroy society, that’s how you would do it. That’s how you would do it.
I mean, that sounds You would just keep doing Like it’s working.
Like it’s going in that direction. Yeah. So the problem with things that are going in a radical direction and sana then there’s an over correction. So the over correction is lack of due process. The over correction is, like, round them all up, ship them to jail. Like, that’s, like, some things that you say when you’re not thinking things through. Like, what do you do about all the criminals?
Take them all and fucking send them to El Salvador. Yeah. What what about due process? No. Fuck that. Well, here’s the problem with fuck that.
What if you are an enemy of let’s not say any current president. Let’s pretend we got a new president, totally new guy in 2028. And, there’s just a common practice now of just rounding up gang members with no due process and shipping them to El Salvador. You’re a gang member. No. I’m not.
Prove it. What? Ai gotta go to court. No. No due process.
That’s dangerous. That’s dangerous.
That’s dangerous. That’s we gotta be careful that we don’t become monsters while we’re fighting monsters. But then again, you gotta find these motherfuckers that are here that have terrorist cells and that are ready to fucking blow up malls in Dallas and and do crazy shit, which definitely they’ve thwarted before.
Sai, like, this is the best argument for, intelligence agencies is that there’s real threats, you know. Like, for someone to say, fuck all the CIA, fuck the FBI. What are you crazy? Who’s gonna investigate real threats? Like, the real world exists as much as you wanna pretend that the, you know, that we can all go Kumbaya tomorrow if we all just lay down our arms.
No. There’s people that are 48 years old and dedicated to crime. They’ve dedicated to crime in Guatemala, and now they’re here. You know? And now they’re selling fentanyl, and they’re not gonna stop. Okay?
Yeah. And they’re on EBT cards where you’re getting money from the government, for free every month because you’re in a sanctuary city.
And you get free food, and you’re a criminal. And then one of them, like, two of them assaulted cops in New York City and then got out, got free. No cash bail. No cash bail. You just get out. They assaulted cops, and then they’re on the street giving the Tupac to the camera. Ever see that?
What? Ai of all, we sana show you the Kamala Harris lady. Do you got the Kamala Harris lady? I can’t find it at all. You can’t find it? They probably scrub it from the Internet. I don’t I mean, I she’s being shamed.
You’re putting a tasteful hat on my head right now. Like, that’s how I feel it.
We don’t have to show it. It’s because we already showed it a a bunch of times. It’s how you would do it if you wanted to destroy America. I’m not saying so the question becomes, like, how much of it is our own folly? How much of it is just natural human behavior? How much of it is, like, the right wants law and order? So we don’t want law and order. The right wants to punish prisoners. We sana no.
That’s it’s racist. Racism, you know, it’s ai, what is it?
But that’s just teams ai. Tight.
Yeah. Yeah. But also, I feel like it’s manipulated as well, and maybe more so than anything else. I feel like it’s manipulated. And again, if you wanted to turn us into Ai, and what I mean by that is a country that’s facial recognition everywhere, social credit score system that’s attached to all of your banking, your ability to travel, everything you do.
If you make anything online that’s against the government, you could be disappeared. You could be locked up. You could be made a political prisoner. You know, this is It
felt like we were heading that way.
Yeah. I think this is something that I think it was Metzger that said this. No. It was Duncan that said this about Ukraine and Russia. He’s like, do you realize, like, the the Ukrainians that we’re killing or that rather the, Russians that we’re killing, by sending over arms and money to fund the Ukrainians?
Not saying that we shouldn’t do this, but he’s saying that a lot of those guys are being forced to go to the front ai, and a lot of those guys are prisoners who get released in order to fight. So what if you’re a prisoner because you wrote a bad tweet against Putin and they lock you up, and then all of a sudden Ukrainians are killing you with American weapons because you tweeted bad against Putin.
So it’s Putin’s way of ai eliminating Yeah. Any any descent ram, like and they don’t even arrest that many people online in comparison to or for doing things online in comparison to The UK. The UK is getting in on it full steam ahead. The UK is arresting people for anything that makes people uncomfortable online.
They show up at your house and just fucking arrest you. They’ve arrested, like how many people have been arrested in The UK for social media posts in the last year. You you’re gonna it’s gonna blow your mind. It’s gonna blow your mind. This is just post on social media, like, get you know, we need to send these illegal immigrants back. Saying shit like that.
You get arrested. Arrested. Hate crimes.
Even if I’m joking? Even if I’m maybe I’m just fucking having
There’s no jokes. No jokes online anymore. Not in The UK. Not only that, but the guy ai the head of The UK, they’re saying now that they could potentially arrest Americans who have posted things online when they visit The UK. Yeah. I was reading a post about this. Like, this could this law could potentially be used in this way.
That if you are a person in America and you’re posting horrible shit about the UK government or the immigrant problem or whatever they have, context ai available meh, exact figures twenty twenty five, not fully competent. 2020 through. ’20 in 2023, ’12 thousand ‘1 hundred and ’80 ‘3 arrests were made across 37 police forces in The UK under section one twenty seven of the Communications Act.
02/2003 and section one of the Malicious Communications Act in 1988, equating to about 33 arrests per day. Laws cover sending grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing messages via electronic communication networks, which includes social media posts and also DMs. DMs.
So people are arrested for horrible DMs that nobody gets to see other than the friend that you’re sending it to supposedly.
You have no idea what the context is.
Into this one time, recently. It said that a lot of people may have been arrested, but many of them were not prosecuted and released.
But it’s still after. Right. Okay. That’s cute. It’s still horrifying because what you’re doing is scaring people into compliance. They don’t wanna be arrested again, and they certainly don’t wanna risk being prosecuted. But they’re they’re forcing people to censor themselves.
sai that they’re breaking the law. I don’t know which law
they’re breaking the law. They they do have a law. That there there is they don’t have freedom of speech the way we have in America. So they do have these hate speech laws. So they are breaking a law. But the question is, should that law exist? And I say no. No.
That law should not exist. You shouldn’t be able to put someone in a cage for saying and some of them are not that offensive. Some of them are pretty fucking calm.
at Oh, only a 1,119 sentences occurred for these offenses. Okay. But the problem is now now go look at how many people were arrested in Russia for social media posts. It’s drastically less. But we think of Russia as being the the country that censors people Yeah. And
Which they do. You can’t criticize Putin. You can’t go balls out. You’re risking your life. You’re in real trouble. Not not excusing that. But what they’re doing in The UK is at a higher level of magnitude. I mean, maybe they’re not torturing people and sending them to the front line of Ukraine, but they are putting the fear of being arrested in people. Yeah.
You say something that they don’t want you to say on social media.
The jump from 2016 to 2023 is crazy.
Look at Russia. Twenty Twenty Three, Fifty Four people. So in the time where 12,000 people were arrested in The UK, Fifty Four people were imprisoned for online hate speech
But it’s also in Russia. Information isn’t very
Russia’s a % accurate with their Easy to fly.
You’re down to bed. From 02/2010 to 2024, Novaya Gazeta Europe reported over 30,000 criminal and administrative cases related to social media posts, with about 1,200 being criminal cases. So they had 1,200 criminal cases. Common charges include extremism, inciting hatred, or insulting state symbols. That’s that’s where it gets sketchy.
I can’t even make fun of the the flag or a monument? I can’t make
fun of it? Nope. Insulting. Making fun is insulting. There’s no room for humor in, a communist country.
I mean, but it’s not, you know, Russia is not communist really anymore. It’s really, it’s a military dictatorship, essentially. I mean, Putin was the president, and he can only do a certain amount of ai, and then he stopped being the president. He’s like, fucking, I’m the president again.
And then no one’s gonna win going against him. We have elections, but what are you doing that guys wind up getting poisoned and shah? And they’re ai, it’s old school. Yeah. He’s fucking It’s old school. He’s running that place. It’s his. That’s his. You’re not taking over.
Man, I seen that picture of him, you know, shirtless on a horse. I’m like, don’t fuck with this dude.
Yeah. He’s a killer. He’s a former KGB killer. Like, he’s like, the real deal is a judo black belt. He’s a fucking he’s a bad man.
You know, like, you don’t and he runs that country. And they arrest less people. Yeah.
What the fuck is going on in The UK?
They’re they’re leaning into the same direction that I was talking about that was scaring me about America. I feel like there’s a plot. There’s a plot to diminish the fabric of society. Like, if you want
Let’s let’s just look at the whole overall world and is it fair? It’s definitely not fair. There’s clearly, there’s a reason why these people in these third world countries wanna come to Europe and why they wanna come to America because it’s better here and it’s better there and they want a better life.
I get it. But why are they fleeing where they came from? Well, ram bomb the shit out of those places. We bomb the shit out of those places. We drone bombed them. We overthrew, democratically elected governments with coups. There’s a lot of instability that’s caused by us. Like, well, it’s our fault.
We’re gonna take these people in. I think instead of fucking up this one country by letting everybody come in and drag it down to a third world country, I think a better solution is figure out a way to prop up these other countries. The same way I mean, in a simplistic version of it, like, if you want everything for yourself, you’re selfish, but you want everything for all your boys too and everybody, everybody gets better.
The whole world gets better. So instead of, like, shipping off jobs to Mexico where they get a dollar a day, maybe pay them real money. Pay them what you’re supposed to be paying them. Maybe give them health care. Maybe give them maybe if you are an American citizen and you wanna hire someone to do something, you have to hire someone under the same structure of ethics that we agree to in The United States, period.
Period. For all humans all over the world. And if their the money translates lower because the American dollar is worth more, okay. But balance it out. Make it that, you know, they can afford food, they can afford housing, they can afford health care, make laws
Where we’re and then you all of a sudden you prop up the whole world. And the whole world stops they stop having third world countries, including in The United States. Like, why do we still have ghettos? What why have we put all this money into funding all these different things with, like, Sai all over the world?
And the South Side Of Chicago has the same amount of murders every year, if not more. More.
Every year. Baltimore, same place. We had a a a cop in once way back in the day that, he, was a cop in Baltimore. And while they were working one day, he found a rap sheet, ai, a a rest sheet of all these different crimes that were committed in all these different areas from, like, the nineteen seventies.
And it was all the same shit that’s happening today, and he ai, like, oh meh god. It’s never gonna end. Like, you’re never gonna fix this. It’s all the same problems in the same areas and nothing’s being done. The same drug arrest, the same violence, the same this, the same that, all in the same places.
And all in these arya, mysteriously, saloni the same areas that have been redlined during the Jim Crow era, where black people couldn’t buy houses, where the white neighborhoods are. They had to buy houses as one area, and those areas are fucked. And no one’s corrected it. No one’s not.
Doesn’t make sense. But, like, do you think that’s just that that hard to let go that feeling of I have to be better than something ai yeah. It’s nice to know you’re doing better than somebody else. It’s just it’s something about human beings that they like
I think it’s convenient to ignore people that you’re not gonna profit from. You know, if you are investing a bunch of money in green energy or investing a bunch of money in whatever stupid shit you’re doing with windmills, ai, someone’s making money. There’s a lot of people making money. There’s money being exchanged.
If you’re fixing South Side Of Chicago, if you’re, like, creating community centers and you’re ai robust education and counseling and providing mentorship and paths to jobs and giving people ai an opportunity to make real money that’s ai, so they don’t wanna sell drugs or kill people.
Like, how many how are you making money doing that? You’re not. And so people don’t do it. It’s that simple.
But it’s like what you just sai. Everyone would naturally if Exactly. Everyone’s doing good. The world would naturally ai. Exactly.
would take time. I guess, you’re it’s not a direct process.
It would take generations.
But it’s there’s no effort being done to it. It. So this guy that’s seeing these crimes are committed in the same area in Baltimore in the nineteen seventies, you know, and this is in the February. He’s seen the same shit. He’s ai, this is crazy. Like, this is just this is a this is the real systemic racism.
This is the real, like, problem in this. It’s not it’s not like black people can’t make it in America. No. No. No. No. No.
It’s like there’s an echo of past atrocities that exists in these pockets that’s not being addressed. It’s never been healed.
It’s never been healed. And there’s a convenience in allowing it to stay that way. Like, you can count on them to vote a certain way, if you keep giving them welfare, if you keep giving them food stamps, the the people that want that are always the Democrats. So those people are always gonna vote Democrat best interest to not make them, like, conservative Republicans or, like, very disciplined and work real hard and get to the gym at 04:30 before they show up at work at seven and we’re gonna kick some ass and make some fucking money, Wilson, you know.
You don’t want that. It’s convenient because then they’ll vote for you every time. Soon as they start making money and realize, like, what is the government spending my fucking taxes on?
That’s what changes you immediately.
moment you make some money.
Oh, you you become a Republican Quick.
Hippies that I know became Republicans after they started making money. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re 50% of your money and you’re living in a shitty you’re ai, sai, I don’t hold on.
What what When you’re letting criminals out. You’re like, what is happening? Why is my car keep getting broken into? Like, what do you do? Why are there people camped in front of my fucking house?
gave you 50% of my money.
Yeah. This is crazy. Dylan has a great bit about it about, the California offering tax, breaks for people that take a homeless person into their house. Yeah.
He’s the man, dude. It’s one
of the clips that he put up because he’s got a new special that’s out now Yeah. That he filmed at the mothership. But it’s it’s so funny and so true. It’s ai they’re just trying to destroy society. What better way to destroy your house? You have a wife and child. What better way to destroy your house than to bring some fentanyl addict in? This is how you’re gonna create more chaos.
And then California is trying to pass a new law that’s being proposed where if someone breaks into your house and threatens your life, you’re not allowed to shoot them. In your house. Imagine someone breaks into your house and is trying to get you, has a knife coming towards you. You’re not allowed to kill him.
You’re supposed to run away. This hasn’t passed meh, but
no way it can. That’s that doesn’t even It’s so
crazy, dude. It’s so crazy. It’s so crazy. It’s almost like they’re trying to destroy people’s confidence in law enforcement, confidence in community, the feeling of being safe, ramp up everybody’s level of anxiety, and then offer a solution. And the solution is to disarm everybody. The solution is to clamp down further and further on gun laws, make it very difficult to have a gun.
You can’t have magazines more than 10 rounds. You can’t concealed carry. You can’t do this. You can’t do that. If you have it in your car, you have to have the bullets in the trunk and the yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The pistol is supposed to be locked up. Yeah.
There’s always crazy laws that are just slowly but surely trying to take away your and you could say no. Those laws to keep people from road rage and shootings and criminals commit crime. Laws don’t stop criminals from breaking laws. Laws keep law abiding people from protecting themselves.
That’s Damn. That’s the fact. That’s the fact. Criminal’s gonna do it anyway. They they the gun’s illegal. The fucking the the the ai number have been sawed off.
are you talking about? They’re also
like you said, they’ve been driven at that point. If I’m at that point, yeah, there is no rule that’s gonna stop me.
There’s no rule. Have you ever seen that show Trafficked?
This is a amazing show called Trafficked, and, they went down to, LA, and they followed these rogue cops who are bringing guns into Mexico and selling them.
Yeah. That’s one of the episodes. That’s fucking crazy. Yeah. Mariana Benzeler. She’s she’s amazing. She’s been in the podcast a few times. She’s brilliant.
Fearless, this lady. She went to Colombia, into the jungle where they were making coke, and then went with the mules, hiked it out with backpacks full of coke. They had backpacks, and she followed them and hiked it out. They showed her how they make the coke, where they make the coke. Yeah.
This is they were they changed the wording on this bill.
Oh, interesting. The bill was the this is where it’s scratched out. Scratched out part sai the bill would eliminate certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including amongst others in defense of a habitation or property. The bill would additionally clarify circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including among others when a person uses more force than necessary to defend against the danger.
That means you shoot a guy more than once. I I gotta know he’s down. Right. But you killed him instead of just shooting him. That’s what they’re saying. But you don’t under with this bill this bill is, like, not understanding fight or flight and violence and the chaos of, you ai your life
Or your family’s life. You’re what?
You just wanna shoot that person.
well, this is what it says about
that part. Okay. The bill would eliminate that provision. The bill would also specify certain circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including when a person was outside their habitation or property and did not retreat when they could have safely done sai, when a person used more force than a reasonable person would do so that right there.
Wait. What’s in that? A person was outside their habitation or property and did not retreat when they could have safely done so. Meaning, if someone’s breaking in your house, you don’t you you’re on the outside of the house. You don’t go into the house to confront them. You retreat.
You’re supposed to retreat.
What if I have family in the house?
That’s it it it’s a good question. This rule already is like, well, this doesn’t make sense.
It says it ai the circumstances, so that might be, you know
But no. But, Jamie, you you would do in the context of the sentence. The spill would also specify certain circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable including including when a person was outside their habitation
But it’s not, like, it’s not If
you’re outside, it’s saying you have to try to retreat.
Right. Right. Right. But what if someone’s in your home? That doesn’t clarify that.
Circumstances when it it still could be. It’s just that there’s certain circumstances when it’s not justifiable. It still could be.
Right. But the certain circumstances is listed ai when a person I understand. Was outside.
up a situation with his family.
I it’s obvious. I’m just saloni. I know. But I’m reading.
This is not necessary. And did not retreat when they could have saved Videm. So when a person used more force than a reasonable person, that’s so subjective.
You don’t know that don’t know that’s not a real thing.
What about Tim Kennedy? Is he reasonable? That’s not
Gonna fuck Jocko? Is Jocko reasonable? Yeah. Yeah. But but people have to but people have to keep their cool. What’d you say, Jimmy?
It’s when you won a good jury too.
Good. What what why would you count on that?
I’m not saying you’re counting on. I’m just saying that’s why you want one. I didn’t say that’s why you need one. I said that’s why you want one. If
I was a judge, I’d say you’re argumentative. However, the bill would specify that homicide is justifiable if the initial aggressor aggressor actually and in good faith tried to stop fighting and indicated they wanted to and tried to stop fighting as specified or in cases of mutual combat, the initial aggressor gave the opponent an opportunity to stop fighting.
So if someone starts fucking you up and then gives you an opponent it gives you an opportunity rather to stop fighting and you don’t, you keep fighting them and kill them. But they’ve already started fighting with you. They’ve already like, that’s you’re in danger zone. Like, to be reasonable while your life is in danger is to open yourself up to getting fucked up. Because it’s ai, no. No. Come on, man.
It was ai, bang, motherfucker, and you’re out cold. Like, you’re you’re already engaged in violence. It’s so subjective whether or not you should stop or not stop. Like, when you should stop is when that person’s 100% incapacitated, and that might mean kill them if you don’t know what’s gonna stop them.
If you have a gun and someone is charging at you with a fucking machete and you bang, bang, bang while they’re still alive and that winds up killing them, you could have just shot them once. You could be in front of a jury and they could say, you could have stopped with the first bullet. And then you have a coroner sai, meh.
The first bullet was vatsal. Or, yes. The first bullet would have stopped him, but he shot him two additional times. Like, now you’re in jail. Now you’re in jail because you’re ai of your life, and you thought you were gonna ai.
And you did something in a split moment where you’re not even thinking straight. Like, you’re you’re
ask an accountant to keep his shit together in a ai, if you ask a Navy Speak to keep his shit together and they’re they’re fucking they’re a bit probably ai, oh, finally, someone broke into my house.
Oh, this motherfucker’s going on.
but Some guy actually did try to break into Tim Kennedy’s house. And he he, you know, he didn’t even hurt the guy. He just said, you made a giant mistake. He came up with a gun and got rid of the guy.
That’s like those guys who start bar fights with UFC, like, with UFC dude. You know, you sai those ai of videos. Right.
Where you’re ai, oh. You see
the Joe Schilling one. Right?
Oh, he bumps it. He kinda like Yeah. Something ai dudes dancing and just being a dick. Yeah. And then he gets him at the bar and just
bum bum bum bum bum bum. It’s so quick. Dude, dude,
dude ai to get him to flinch. He ai like
Jumped at him and he just ding ding ding. The wrong dude. You meh, that’s karma. Yeah. That’s almost like that those things, like, almost make me feel like we’re in a simulation. Like, that that’s supposed to happen in that order. You know? Like, when someone just hits a level of doucheyness and and this, you’re supposed to run into toe shilling. Yeah.
That’s the perfect karmic response to, like, negative and a positive and a thing, you know, ai, go in and out. We just had I just feel like we have to be really careful in this country that we don’t get more divided, by all this fucking political chaos that we’re experiencing.
We gotta be real careful, like, as human beings that we don’t fall prey to that. This is not it’s not smart for anybody. No, dude. It’s not smart. And we’re just it’s not so much unnecessary conflict, you know?
Well, it’s usually and it’s just people picking that one ai. And like you said, like, you can’t Mhmm. Of course, I don’t think people should be coming to the country and all that stuff, but I also do think women should be able to do what they want with the fucking baby in their stomach.
You know what I mean? Up to point. Right? Up to
point, of course. That’s right. Like you said, if some woman got raped and she’s pregnant now, like, ai, let her what I’m a what are we doing right now? What
are we doing? What are we doing?
Where’s the human aspect of it?
And then also, like, if you don’t feel for people that walked here with their babies because they just wanna get a job as a landscaper, Like, I Let them have it. I just Ai just but how do you know? You know, ai, I think the process for getting people in should be but it’s also it’s ai, how many can we support?
Like, what what what ai of a strain is this on Social Security? What kind of a strain is this on Medicare? You know, have have this been and is there a way to, like, make where they’re from better? And wouldn’t that, like, increase revenues? Like, if you if you of all of a sudden you had another country right next door that’s buying and trading and making tons of money, wouldn’t that be better everybody?
Yeah. Like, if they stop being a third world country and became a first world country, wouldn’t that ai, like, super beneficial?
Has that never come up? Any of these UN like, ai why don’t we just try to Man. Make this place a better place?
This is what you gotta realize when it comes to politicians. Most of them are already dead or on their way. Unless you’re JD Vatsal, he’s really young. Tulsi Gabbard’s young.
Most of these people, when you’re in office, like, Trump is almost 80, Biden do you see what Biden said yesterday?
Oh, Jay, would you see it? Nope. They let him talk.
He’s he’s ai, what? 80 something, 90?
Sai don’t know where they meh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They’re letting him talk, and I’m like, who’s letting him talk? This is crazy. Here here, I’ll send you this, Jamie. It’s so silly. He’s he’s fucking gone, bro. He’s gone. They let him talk. They just let him get out in the open and put a microphone in front of his place his face.
But Ai guess, like, as a former president, you can kinda request, Ai like a, speak my mind. One day just had just a enough mixture. They filled them up with enough peptides. It’s got a little pep in his step. It’s feeling good. Yeah.
health care about things. Listen. Well, give me some volume and go full screen because this is you gotta see his face.
In. Pull pull pull into the arya lot. And I had never seen Ai never seen, hardly any black people in Scranton at the time when I and I was only going in fourth grade. And I remember seeing the kids going by at the time called colored kids on a bus going. They never turned right to go to Claymont High School.
I wondered why. Ask my mom. Ai? Why? So in Delaware, they’re not allowed to go to school, in public school with white kids, honey.
That sparked my sense of outrage as a kid just like it does. I mean, and these young kids right here can tell you things affect them when they learn about something that’s really just unfair and unjust. You know, my dad ai dad was a honorable meh, and my dad used to have an expression. He said, Joey, your job’s about a lot more than a paycheck.
It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, honey, it’s gonna be okay. You mean it. That’s what you’re all about. That’s what the that that’s what that’s what the legislation is about. It’s about dignity. Simple dignity.
Everyone everyone deserves to be treated with dignity regardless of their standard, regardless of the economic decision, regardless who they are.
Making sure that more than sixty million Americans who are living with disabilities are treated with dignity It’s who we are as Americans. That’s what it’s about.
I hope he does more. Convenient. We should have him at the mother shah.
Yeah. We got him. Let him go up.
Give him a hour. At school,
Ai American life. Laws like the ADA need advocates like you.
Got it. You could tell he got something he took something that morning, and he was fired up.
Feel good. They got him on a good dose. Had a nice nap. He had a good ai. Nice nap. But it’s crazy to let him do that because now we know he wasn’t really running the country. Yeah. We used to think he was actually running the country. Now they’re like, ai. He didn’t even see those executive orders. Like, that was all auto penned. You didn’t even sign those things.
Auto meh is a weird thing. How lazy are you, bitch? How many how many how many things are you signing that
you have to auto pen things?
That’s crazy that you can auto the whole thing is supposed to be signature.
Yeah. That’s that’s your job. That’s also that’s the thing.
You read it, you go over it, you
Sai the fuck are you doing?
What are we paying? I don’t understand
What are we doing? What are we doing? How are you auto penning shit? That’s the crazy thing about all those pardons. You know, there’s ai how many pardons do you have? I think he had 9,000 arya, and it was all auto penned. So it’s like everybody’s like this. If I had to imagine, like worst case scenario, I’m not assuming or accusing anybody doing this.
But I would imagine if you got a hold of that auto meh, be ai, yo, yo, yo, I got the auto pen. Like,
who needs All the boys is out. Ai
You know, I’m trying to get rich and, you’re trying to get free. And, let’s get something rolling.
I mean, how many first of all, if you can’t be tried because they decide that you’re mentally incapable of standing ai, that’s what they said about him. They were gonna try him on some, classified documents case. They said the the judge ruled that he was incapable of standing trial while he was running for president for the second term.
While he was running for president, they were saying he’s incapable of standing trial. So if we’re saying that there’s something wrong with him cognitively, but we’re still allowing him to give people arya, like, if he can’t if he’s not sane enough, if he’s not there enough
trial To defend himself. How could he be there enough to decide whether or not someone deserves a pardon? That seems insane. And then how could you use the autopen? He’s like, what about that guy? Yes. Pardon him. What about that guy? Let him off for you. He’s just he deserves it.
It’s ai, there’s a point. He’s
9,000. There’s no way. If you have all the time in the world, how are you going over 9,000 cases?
Most of those were the marijuana releases
Well, that’s nice. Federal How many of them what can
Oh, that’s nice. But auto pinning it is when you think about what that means, that is crazy.
That’s crazy. Yeah. It’s just is that shit for sale? Pardons are crazy anyway. You just let somebody out of jail because you’re the king. Because you’re
Fucking fuck fuck that fuck that trial. Yeah. Fuck that jury.
I like that free, bro. I I don’t mind it. Yeah.
That’s that’s crazy power. Let people out of jail. Mhmm.
You know? In mass numbers.
I’m trying to find the exact number. Okay.
Because 9,000 6,500, I agree with. I agree with all those marijuana ones.
Those that’s not a real thing.
The craziest shit that there were people in Colorado that were in jail for selling meh, looking out the window of their prison to marijuana dealerships, selling marijuana legally. In nice packaging.
Yeah. Nice. With bar codes on it. Cartoon characters ai they’re high on them. Snoop Dogg on the cover of a bag. Yeah. Oh.
Sai, that’s the good thing about progressive governments. Right? Progressive governments like Colorado, they they ai that people’s right to experiment with all kinds of different things including alcohol, but also, like, you should have the freedom to take things. You should have the freedom to explore your own consciousness, and Colorado agreed with that real early. You know?
That’s the good thing about progressive governments, and that’s the bad thing about a lot of conservative governments. They wanna stop you from doing that. That. You know? They wanna prosecute people for that fucking ram. That dirty do you where’s your dope? You’re fucking dope.
Yeah. They don’t like it when your mind opens up a little bit. But you said it earlier. Oh, man. We could just get everybody on mushrooms. Everybody might love each other and all these things. Yeah. That is scary.
Think that way, though. 8,000. A record setting number includes a collective act of over 6,500 individuals for marijuana possession convictions. So it’s really not like he has more than anybody else. Yeah. Well, he did it. Ai yeah. It looks like more than everybody else because, it’s just 6,500.
He actually only released 1,500 then.
Yeah. Look at Andrew Johnson.
It ended up being closer to 9,000, I think, at the end of the day. Oh, at
So even then, 2,500, not to the same. Pretty normal. Yeah. Like, how many did,
Obama ai, Almost 2,000? It was different.
He did 1,500 on the first day because they’re all the January 6
How come Trump didn’t free Joe Exotic?
Let him go. With the Ai King. Tiger King three.
He only did 230 on the first tyler, it says.
Oh, only 237. That’s not a lot. Oh, so the new one, when he came back, he pardoned 1,500 individuals connected to general. They keep saying capital riots.
Yeah. Yeah. But Ai? Andrew Johnson, eight thousand pardons? That’s what it sai. Andrew Johnson.
He sold those bitches. He did for for silver coins. Sitting in his fucking bathtub with all these silver coins.
But that’s crazy that pardons were going back all the way to George Washington.
How many did George Washington have? A lot. Right? 1,700, is that what it said?
Good old George. Yeah. It’s crazy. I just got into that stuff ai I saw Hamilton, like, two weeks ago for the first time. Oh, yeah? That was You ever seen that? No. Is it good? Brother.
You see it on Broadway? Brother. No.
I saw Ai saw it on the they brought it to Texas, the Bass Concert Hall. And then in these last, like, three weeks, I have studied every I I’m addicted to it, bro. Really? Joe? Derek? It’s the second greatest piece of art to ever be art. What’s number one? Harry Potter books.
for this argument, Joe. Harry Potter books is number one.
Harry Potter. Harry Potter.
When he was going off at Metis about this.
most fuckers are trying to bring up
the Bible. It’s like, get the fuck out of here, dude.
Harry Potter’s better than the Bible?
Not even close. Really? It was Joe, it’s already the second greatest selling book of all time, and it’s only been out since 1997.
Think about that. That is pretty crazy. I I’ll tell you what. My my kids are addicted to it.
It’s when I read it, I read it. This is also I read it like a month ago. I just found out about both these things. And Really?
I knew Harry Potter and I saw the movie.
Ai I knocked it all out. Wow. I knocked the whole thing out.
It’s the greatest thing ever.
than the movie? It’s ai even close. And I love the movies. Movies are great. But it’s so fucking good and so in-depth and so I mean, it’s the classic hero story, you know, hero’s tyler, but, man, it’s so fucking good. And rereading it and just how deep the characters are and how incredible it is and it is beautiful. But Hamilton is number two, greatest art.
And I ai, when I say art, I mean anything ever written, painted, musically sung.
Really? One, two. Wow. And then the Ai?
Maybe the depart departed might be three. It was in departed, man. That’s why when that elevator opens up, a Leo gets his hand blown off and think, oh, I I
feel it still. Be three. Yeah.
That’s you. Oh, you just killed all your credibility. He took departed over Apocalypse Now.
Oh, Apocalypse That is ai.
Now you take departed over Apocalypse Now.
I love Apocalypse Now. Oh my god.
Hamilton Joe. That good. Brother, it’s so if you like history because I’m not a history guy. I’m not Hassan I mean, Hassan’s talking about because he loves history. And I’m you know, I know what I know, but I’m not looking for it. Right. I watched this shit, man. It was so cool. Everything is educational.
The whole thing. And you think it’s gay because it’s like, oh, it’s a musical. You think it’s gay? Everyone’s black. Like, why is Thomas Jefferson black?
the play is black, and they’re all playing these ai, Thomas Jefferson Washington. But everything is singing. The whole thing is singing. So the writing is incredible, and it’s literally the story of Alexander Hamilton. And I had no idea how important this man was. Wow. He was an orphan and then, you know, that the it ends, of course, with the duel between him and Burr Right. Which is insane.
You know, Burr was vice president when he killed the treasurer. Really? Hamilton was treasurer, and he killed him in a duel while he was vice president. That’s crazy. Because they they had fifteen years of beef, and you get to see why they’ve been beefing.
It’s just two ideologies of the this man grew up orphaned, mom died, dad left him. He he’s from The Caribbean, Alexander Hamilton. He’s just an absolute genius who had to come out of the absolute mud. Aaron Burr is a trust fund kid, who is a politician through and through, who was raised to be a politician, who never put you know, his cards are close to his chest, and he never shows anybody what he’s thinking.
True politician. Shah were they thinking about? Ai guy. Well, I mean, everything ram just the way he didn’t like how Hamilton always is talking, and Hamilton is a loud guy and and he’s just a rambunctious Mhmm. And didn’t follow the rules of politics. He was very, you know, a wild arya. He was also young. And Burr was like, no. You you do it this way.
You do it this way. That’s how you’re supposed to do it. So that happened for fifteen years. And then the what made him kill him was Burr was gonna be president. He was going against Jefferson.
Jefferson and Hamilton had been beefing the they’re they hate each other. But Hamilton didn’t like Burr so much because he said at least Jefferson stands for something. And the last vote to make Jefferson president over Burr was Hamilton. And so that and then, of course, he talked some more shit about him, and then Aaron Burr was like, we’re dueling. Fuck you.
Those old school bullshit guns.
And he because he shot Burr sai I mean, no. Hamilton wasn’t trying to kill him. He shot over his head because that was, like, a thing you do if you weren’t trying to kill somebody, but you were like, I’m letting you know. But, like, we’re doing it, but I’m not trying to kill you.
But he didn’t know because he shot first. Burr just thought he missed. Uh-huh. So he shot him right in the fucking stomach, right in the rib. Killed him. And it was at the it was like a few miles away, maybe, like, near right near the same spot where Hamilton’s son died three years before.
Like the law. That law of knowing when it’s too much. Like, he could’ve just shot over him. Could’ve. The other guy shot over him. But I
thought you Ai thought you just missed. How am I supposed
to know? I thought you’re trying to kill
trying to kill me. Exactly.
And no one saw it because, you know, they so to have a duel, you had to have other people there. You had to have a doctor. You had to have two people had to have representatives, all this stuff, but everyone turns around. So that way, there’s no no one could go to prison for it.
Wow. So they tried Burr for it, but there’s there’s no eyewitness. Wow. And it ruined the rest of Burr’s life the rest of Burr’s life because everyone loved Hamilton. Because Hamilton was George Washington’s right hand man. He fucking is the one of the main reasons we won the revolutionary war.
He was the remember when David Letterman got caught for cheating and was like, well, I’m a go out and ai I’m not gonna meh blackmailed. I’m a go out and say, hey. I cheated on my wife. Mhmm. Get the fuck out of here. Like, I’ll I’ll take the heat.
Hamilton was the first guy to do that. Really? The Reynolds pamphlets where arya woman did the same thing. A woman he fucks this lady, and her husband comes up to him later and is like, hey. You owe money. You know? Know what I mean?
Like, the husband’s like, hey. You fucked my wife. I know you fucked my wife. I know who you are. You can and you can keep fucking her.
I think she’s a whore too. But I sai it, but I want money. Really? Yep. And then, of course, she got money.
kind of deal? $30. But I don’t know what that was at 79.
Ai go back and talk to Hamilton. I ai him the money, man. Dude’s cool. No.
But he wanted he wanted continuous money.
I I don’t know the number exactly,
think it was is this lady? Dude, how far is she?
Apparently, she was pretty good.
If you can keep this relationship going,
to everybody involved. Everyone. You just need a little money? Oh, okay. You’re not even mad? Yeah.
And you got the money. You Hamilton.
What the fuck is he doing? Spend that money. Spend them fun coupons.
Yep. But I think he also still you wanted to he didn’t like that, the other politicians were using it over, like, hey, we found out that you were doing this that and
we Weren’t they all monsters back then? Ai all
slaves. They’re all slaves. They’re all slaves.
They’re all slaves. They’re all slaves.
They’re all slaves. That’s what’s
the craziest thing. The moral high ground of the beginning of this country. We were getting away from these evil
What you’re saloni? Everybody’s a monster.
Shah. Wash is the most loved. Had the most.
Yeah. It’s like everywhere you go, there’s hypocrisy. You know? Like, did you ever see that thing when Don Lemon was talking to this lady about reparations for slavery? You ever see that thing? No. Oh ai god. Please find this. Don Lemon is talking to this British lady about reparations for slavery, and she lays out the beginnings of slavery to Don Lemon.
And you see Don Lemon’s dumbass ai, oh, very interesting. What watch this.
It’s just he was saying something that, you know, there should be reparations for slavery. I I think it’s a political talking point at this point in time. I think there’s people that still think that people today should get money because their ancestors were slaves. I totally understand that argument.
However, what this lady is saying did you find it?
It just has, like, a five second thing, and then it talks about the whole
but there’s a video. I watched it yesterday.
I’m just saying it didn’t have it. It’s not the thing I’m looking for.
Okay. I bet on YouTube it’s available. Yeah. Don Lemon for
a smart guy seems like No. He’s not. Idiot sometimes.
Yeah. So it’s like, I gotta look smart. Elizabeth.
There’s other people reporting on it.
And then you have those who are asking, for reparations for colonialism, and they’re wondering, you know, a hundred billion dollars, 20 4 billion dollars here and there, 500,000,000 there. Some people wanna be paid back and, and members of the public are wondering ai are we suffering when you arya you know, you have all of this vast wealth.
Those are legitimate concerns.
Well, I think you’re right about reparations in terms of if people want it, though, what they need to do is you always need to go back to the beginning of a supply chain. Where was the beginning of the supply chain? That was in Africa. And when across the entire world, when slavery was taking place, which was the first nation in the world that abolished slate slavery?
The first nation in the world to abolish it, it was started by William Wilberforce, was the British. In in Great Britain, they abolished slavery. 2,000 naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery. Why? Because the African kings were rounding up their own people.
They had them on cages waiting in the beaches. No one was running into Africa to get them. And I think you’re totally right. If reparations need to be paid, we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say, who was rounding up their own people and having them hand cocking pages?
Absolutely. That’s where they should start. And maybe, I don’t know, the descendants of those families where they died at the in the high seas ai to stop the slavery, that those families should receive something too, I think, at the same time.
It’s sai interesting discussion.
He knew he’s in deep water. Knew what the fuck he was talking He knew he was in deep water.
She knew what the fuck she was
He and he knew he had no history in his mind. He’s like scouring his mind for an argument,
this one. He wanted something easy. He didn’t he wasn’t ready for that.
Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Go to commercial. We’re going to Pfizer.
Go. Yeah. When the woman brought up the ships and everything, you’re ai, oh, shit.
We got another commercial on deck.
Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Oh, that bitch. Oh, oh.
Yeah. That’s the dirty thing about it. It’s ai there’s people were monsters.
Dude, Ai were slaves forever. People were indentured servants. They’re brought over here. They it was people have been monsters forever and instead of doing that now, now they’re, you know, picking fruit, picking lettuce.
know, with no health care. For
Yeah. And we’re shipping jobs over to there. So they work in these factories. They work at sixteen hours a day for a dollar an hour or a dollar a day sometimes.
Joe, when I was in Abu Dhabi, One of the drivers who was taking us somewhere, he said, he was happy. He was happy because his family lives back in Lebanon or wherever they ai, but he was happy because they he just got a raise to, like, $2 an hour Woah. From the dollar and he but, I mean, Joe, you you’d have thought he was a millionaire now.
He was like, oh my god. Like, it’s like a 50¢ raise. But he was ai, the things I’ll be able to do for my family back in Lebanon and all that stuff.
And he was like, holy shit.
Holy shit. Yeah. And then you’re there
and everything there is beautiful and pristine and everything seems like the richest things in the world. And that was really they were really nice to us and it was awesome because we were getting to do the rich things.
But when you were talking to that guy, I I vividly remember that conversation because of how truly happy he shah he wasn’t. In his head, he was like, this is great.
His expectations were very low. Yeah. But that’s the that’s the reality, like, when people like Bernie Sanders talk about, like, oligarchs and if you’re gonna have halves, ai, extreme halves just by the nature of the world, you’re gonna have have nots. And the the disparity between haves and have nots is off the charts. And it’s probably only gonna get bigger.
That’s what’s really kinda scary with, AI and the ability to generate wealth and what you’re gonna be able to figure out and do and the the different ways that people are gonna be able to manipulate markets and dominate certain industries with AI. I think the have and have nots, and then you’re gonna have also automation, which takes over everything.
was just driving. Have you ever, like we’re not gonna be driving much longer, dude.
Oh, I don’t think my kid the Ai don’t think my kid’s gonna know driving. I think I think they’ll know, like, no. You just everyone has an automated car.
Yeah. Check this out. I’m gonna share this with you, Jamie. I did this yesterday in my car. My car just drives itself, dog. Just drives itself. If you have a Tesla and Ai if I put in my address, I go to toot. I press these buttons and it just takes off. It stops at red ai. It changes lanes. It, like, slows down when the traffic slows down, speeds up when the traffic speeds up.
You You could completely check out if you wanted to. Totally check out. You could totally check. I don’t do it. I keep my hand near it.
I’m still freaked out. Because you’ve
been driving your whole life.
Yeah. It’s also just feels weird with it, but it does it.
You got the the video And it does it well too?
to make sure I’m not showing it’s it I got other stuff on the screen, and it doesn’t cover that up.
So Oh, does it show things on the screen?
What does it show? Like, my address?
No. It shows stuff that I don’t want showing on
Okay. Here it is. Check this out. This is me in the car yesterday. It’s pretty fucking wild. I don’t like to do it all the time, but every now and again, it’s pretty wild. It changes lanes. It hits the blinkers. Sai, look at sees all those cars, that screen, it that’s it’s a representative of all the car. It knows where all the cars are. Look. It’s changing lanes.
It hits the blinker and changes lanes to get around these trucks. It’s, the future.
Wild. It’s over. How wild is that?
It shows you on the screen on the front where your dashboard is. It shows you all the cars around you. All of them. It keeps track of them. It knows how fast they’re going. See that guy pass me on the left? It shows that. It’s wild.
He’s flying by you. So it’s ai it know. It knew the speed and rate that he was going.
And it knew that there was an open lane. So it hit the blinkers and it changed lanes. And it knows there’s people behind me. It knows there’s people to the right of me. Now it it stops at red lights, dude, and then speeds up again, stops at stop signs. It sees the cars to the left and cars to the right, knows when to go. And you could just kinda check out. Just, like, hold your hand like this.
Think about your life. Have the robot drive you around. That is just gonna be everywhere. Yeah. Everyone’s gonna be driving in these robot taxis.
You’re not gonna own a car. Like, this is what the World Economic Forum wants. You will own nothing, and you’ll be happy. Mhmm. You’ll be like that man who has $2 an hour and so happy. All your food will be free. You don’t need a job.
That’s where the have and have nots gets sketchy. Because when automation takes over, they don’t worry. We’ll give you universal basic income. And suddenly give universal basic income to everybody, so everybody’s reliant 100% on the government now. And then there’s people that own all the electric taxi companies and own all the computer factories and own all the AI companies and
The semi trucks that’ll be automated?
Those are the oligarchs. Those are the halves, and the halves never wanna give that up. They always want more and more and more. They always wanna keep winning that game. They wanna stack they wanna be the first trillionaire. They wanna just keep stacking. Game of Thrones. Stacking. Yeah.
Because then it goes to your family and your family. And then all of a sudden, you’re like, oh, maybe we can our family could be president one day. Our family now could
That’s it, man. What a callback. That’s exactly what it is. That’s
it, man. It’s it’s a natural human dominator instinct. It’s a tribal dominator instinct, and it’s just applied to fiat currency sana Yeah. Bitcoin and financial power and influence, and and they wanna control social media, and we’re gonna give everybody a vaccine and nuts.
You know those Waymos? This ai how I know it’s gonna be have have nots. You know those Waymos cars?
self driving cars? If you order one, it’s still the same price as, like, an Uber, pretty much. Sai it’s ai, where is this money going? Right. I thought the money was going to the driver. Right. Like, I thought, okay. I’m giving half the money to the company, probably half the money or meh.
However, they split it. But so now you’re telling me there’s no driver, but the price is so you’re not gonna lower the price. Right. Where is this extra money going? In their pockets. Joe, that’s scary. More profitable. Because they’re gonna do that with ai trucks? Yeah. They’re gonna do whatever ai like.
And then they’re gonna try to pass legislation to stop driving. You shouldn’t be able to drive because their money is in driving you around.
Why should you be able to drive? You’re dangerous. You caused that. Statistically, humans cause all these accidents.
You drink? Humans do this?
Bro, that’s how they can get you. That’s why they’re saying, you know, we don’t eat beef. Cows are destroying the environment. Cows are responsible for climate change. And what a convenient thing I have here in my plant based meals. My plant based burgers.
You need unstoppable meh. Whatever the fuck they have. But it’ll
be just ai animal farm because they’ll still be eating cow. They’ll be eating one of the top people who arya gonna eat cheese and the nice fun things.
Bro, they’re gonna be eating dodo bird burgers. They’re eating Siberian tiger loin. Yeah. They’re Having a good time carving up some rhino steaks.
of monsters. And, you know, that’s the you know, the the whole, market for rhino horns? Yeah. You know what that market is for? What? It’s rich people that want to get off on the fact that they’re drinking tea from an endangered species. That’s what’s the the ai rhino horns, that’s what they’re valuable for. That’s why people are killing people.
They’re killing people so that they can kill the ai, so they can cut their horns off sai they could sell them to Asia, where very wealthy people get off on the fact that they’re drinking rhino horn tea. And they think it makes your dick hard.
Yeah. They do think it makes your dick hard. Which is hilarious. Yeah.
You know about Ai, bitch? Blue Chew.
you talking about? So stupid. But if, like, there’s way better ways. You don’t have to kill a rhino, but that’s not the point. The point is they wanna kill the rhino sai that they they get this forbidden thing. We’re responsible for extinction here as we sip this tea. That’s how dark people get. That’s ai the type of people that want exclusive things.
That’s the way that I’m looking. You know? Oh, yeah. That’s that that’s what I wanna watch people.
Darkness, man. That’s darkness. That’s real human beings will do that. They would drink rhino horn tea. That’s the only market for rhino horns. They’re not valuable. It’s not like tusks. Like, elephant tusks are made out of ivory and ivory is very valuable and they use it for all kinds of different things.
They always used to use it for ornaments. They used to make pool balls out of ivory. And then they stopped allowing people to sell ivory, and then you could only buy, like, pre ban ivory in America. And but that makes sense because you’re you’re killing an animal for this one thing that’s a commodity, and it’s fucked up. But the rhino horn don’t even make sense.
Like, you’re killing an animal just so you could drink the tea. That’s crazy, and they’re almost extinct.
Also, to kill such a, like
like, wow. This is a fucking animal dude.
A crazy looking creature, man. Like, it doesn’t look like it belongs in this time. It looks like it’s in the dinosaur days.
Ai read this thing yesterday about you heard the the bear that’s called the boss?
Oh, yeah. The one bear that’s got, like, thousands of kids? Yeah.
He he Joe, that’s like ai. He got hit by that means he got hit by a train. It was ai running back. Run it back, you bitch ass train.
I’m a knock this motherfucker off the tracks this time.
got hit by a train twice, has all the cubs, and apparently vatsal other bears sometimes just to let them ai people because he’s so old that people the young bears try ai. So I sai, I read he eats them sometimes just to be like, I gotta let everybody know.
Well, bears eat bears. That’s real common. Yeah. They eat cubs. It’s real dark. A friend of mine saw it. He saw ai friend Jonathan up in Alberta. He saw a bear and a the the sow and the boar were fighting. So males, the boar, females, the sow. They were fighting because the bear the male was trying to kill the cubs, and so the female is trying to fight him off.
And eventually, she can’t fight him off and she retreat he gets a hold of one of the cubs and kills it. And then shah scares him off of the cub that he killed, and then she eats the cub. She eats her own cub. Once it’s dead, she’s ai, I’ll just eat it.
Why do you think Adam’s food? It’s ai fucking
Once it’s dead, it’s just food. Bro. That’s fucking You think you think $2 an hour is hard ai? The bears are shitting on ghettos. Like, you think it’s hard? You think it’s hard? Ai I go outside every day thinking I’m gonna get eaten.
Dealing with the boss bear.
Yeah. Well, that’s what happens also when you have that’s how nature balances out ecosystems. Right? Because if there’s no natural predators for bears, they they have to they have to eat themselves. Just nothing can eat a grizzly bear.
to eat each other. That’s the only way they keep the population. To keep
keep it. So all there’s still some salmon and some other things left everybody else.
So when when cubs are born, there’s two things that happen. One well, there’s three things. One, the male thinks of them as food. So he wants to kill them for food. Like, they hunt them. They go into the dens. When the males come out of hibernation early, they go into dens to look for cubs to eat them. They know they do that for food.
Two, they try to bring the female into estrus again. So if they can kill the cubs, then the female wanna breed sai she can have more cubs. And so it’ll get the the female sai that she sana breed again. And then three is competition. They look at those cubs as potential future competition.
So it’s all these horrible ways at this beautiful nature. Nature is amazing. Nature is a fucking bloodbath. Yeah. It’s a it’s a bloodbath. Even the grass is screaming.
They found out that grass screams now.
Plants make noise when you’re eating them. No. They just can’t move.
That is the fact that we are the Speak because you were saying something yesterday we were talking, we were saying how, like, it’s crazy to think that aliens wouldn’t think we’re interesting.
Yeah. That’s vatsal dumb argument that I had with Neil deGrasse Ai. Like, what are you saying?
Because when you think about, like, man, we are the top dog on this planet. That’s interesting in itself.
Different than everything else here. If you’re gonna study anything anywhere in the fucking universe, of course, you would study human beings. If you’re gonna study anything, you would go, what is this ai, crazy, territorial primate with nuclear weapons and cell phone addictions?
this And they’re soft. We’re we could easily be killed. Easily. And we’re still top dog.
And they might have made us. They might have engineered us, son. That’s a real on the table less than 0% or more than 0% possibility. We might have been genetically engineered. It’s a real possibility. It’s a real possibility when you look at, other primates and us, like, what happened here? What happened here?
How how arya our cousins still roaming around barefoot covered in hair? Yeah. You know, swinging from trees, eating bananas, and we are somehow or another flying rockets with an all chick crew and then land them with parachute. It’s like, what? Why are we so different? And why we keep seeing UFOs? Like, what the fuck is going on here?
And we control it. We control the tigers. The things that could kill us and we’re like, no, we’re in charge.
Yeah. We’re in charge of those bitch ass water balloons. Yeah. Basically, blood balloons, sticks holding it all together.
Compared to things that are fucking built like trucks.
Yeah. Every like a rhino. Like, how the fuck is a rhino in danger for its stupid horn when our bitch asses are the ones killing the rhino?
meh make any sense. We’re not even eating them. Just killing them and sawing off their fucking horns.
That would be yeah. If you’re an alien, you’re like, they do what? Do you see
what they’re doing now to rhinos to prevent this? They dart them and saw their horns off first so that no one wants to kill them. How fucked up is that? How fucked up? Have you seen that?
No. But the rhino must need the horn and, like, for the protection for like, it must need it in some way.
Sana fight. Yeah. They wanna fight other rhinos and fight off lions and shit like that. Yeah. They need that horn.
it’s the reason why they have it. Yeah. Yeah. They evolved to have this giant fucking weapon in the middle of their face.
So to cut it off, ai bad.
Ai ever seen him launch lines into the air?
Like, fuck you, bro. Try getting through this.
But, yeah, to cut that off.
Yeah. What does that do to the ai? Can it live out in
the Yeah. It lives fine. Okay. It lives fine, but it just doesn’t have a weapon anymore. But it also is not attractive to the main monster, which is humans.
And humans that just wanted to drink a tea to get your dick hard. Just get rocked up. Woah. Brick. It don’t even work, I don’t think. Does it work? Sai don’t know. Does rhino horn it might be one of them ancient Chinese secrets. It’s legit. Does rhino horn get your dick hard?
