Rogan experience.
Ai meh day. Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
How you doing? Good to see you, brother. Good to see you, sir. Let’s crack
it. Not much. Just rocking the shine
The fact that you’ve been talking about your ai all the watch. That I’m I’m glad Detroit’s coming back, you know, and I like I like how Ai represents.
Shinola is definitely one of the things that’s great about Detroit.
Yeah. They say it, like, made in Detroit. They’re proud.
Yes. Which we didn’t have for a long time.
Dude. Ai is the craziest story. If you’d know the story about Detroit, like, in the nineteen fifties and sixties, it was the third richest city in the world.
Well, yeah, it was called the Paris of the Midwest, and it’s a city that’s still built for 7,000,000 people with supposedly 700,000 living in it. I meh, so you do see a lot of, like ai there, like, a million dollar condo in the same place that has, like, eight abandoned other apartments?
It’s when you go downtown, it makes no sense logistically. Do you
have a lot of that show Top Gear? Oh, yeah. Jeremy Clarkson. I think it was easier. Top Gear was maybe the the the one they did after that that they did for Amazon. But they went to Detroit, and they bought a house for $500.
Yeah. You can. And there’s also the people that buy them and open the door and get mauled by pit bulls. Or you see the ones that, like, they’re they’ll put a, like, a pumpkin meh like, they’ll do an urban farm, which is hysterical. And you’ll see, like, these hippies on the news, like, they cut my face and stole my plums. And I’m scared. It’s like, yeah, but you’re in a crack neighborhood.
Yeah. Isn’t that what you guys want? It’s like they don’t want that at all.
There’s some delusional fucking people out there, dude. And what they did to Detroit like, anybody that thinks that you should allow corporations to just take all the jobs and move them overseas. Well, also just ai corporate decision making and it’s a prudent financial decision making and look at Detroit.
Look what they did. It’s a prime example of, like, that was the American dream. Yeah. And then ai like, we’ll just we’ll assemble them in Mexico. Look, but we’ll write made in America on your door, so you’re gonna feel good about it.
Did they even write made in America on the door?
Sometimes they do. Like, I I preferred, like, the eighties and nineties where if you bought a car and it was made on a Friday, you knew a drunk guy did it. So you’re like, give me one from a Wednesday. Like, those were the days of American automaking. Sai, that’s part of
the problem too. A friend of mine who was in the union told me that the automakers union just got out of control. They’re making so much money and the they were constantly in negotiations or strikes impending and
And then they’re like, hey, fuck you. We’ll just go to Mexico. Meh.
Yeah. That’s just part of it. But, ai, like it tyler on, like you sai, in the eighties and nineties, like, you’re grandfathered in, and it really doesn’t matter what you do wrong. Ai, that’s part of the deal. Yeah.
No. It’s great. Ai mean, you know, it’s great for the worker,
but Yeah. There seems to be ai a middle balance that could
be reached. Yeah. Ai, don’t be fully hammered when you’re trying to put a door on an f one fifty.
I mean, they should make good money because the corporation makes good money. I mean, you know, they were doing well. It was a very profitable business. The workers should share in those profits.
Well, ai the electric ones, it just didn’t work for them either. They they pushed it out too soon too. Like, because I know people that work on the ai, you have, like, the electric f one fifty. And it’s ai f one fifty is the everybody wants one. They love it as a work truck.
But as an electric truck, you put the thing down in South America where it’s hot all the ai, it’s just gonna catch fire. So it’s like it’s not really working out.
Or if you’re in the cold, the battery sucks. Yeah. Which yeah.
And I just don’t like electric cars personally. Maybe it’s just because I’m from Detroit and Ai grew up and I just wanna feel an engine.
I get it, but I have a Tesla that will knock your dick into the dirt. Oh, I
It’s not just fast. It’s fucking car is incredible. Yeah. It’s a piece of machinery from the future. What is it? It’s a model s.
But it’s a plaid that was sent to a company called Unplugged Performance. Okay. And Unplugged Performance takes the fenders off, put carbon fiber wider fenders, changes the suspension to a race based suspension, puts wide tires on it and wider wheels, upgrades the brakes to these huge carbon fiber discs because it’s a very heavy car.
I was gonna sai, so it’s heavier as opposed to lighter like an race car?
Well, it’s heavier because Teslas are very heavy because the batteries. But because the batteries are on the bottom, the center of gravity in the car is phenomenal.
It’s it’s like one of the best balanced cars you could ever ai. And the self driving is bananas.
Oh, you have it on there?
I had my butt yeah. You get it with the car. I I had my buddy Fedor was here the other day and he had never been in one. So the first thing I always do is merge out of the highway. I’m like, you ready?
But it’s gonna go zero to 60 in one point nine seconds.
Oh, that’s faster than that.
And then Ai go now this is what’s really wacky. I put in the destination and I just say take me to the comedy mothership and then I press a button. Okay. And it goes to to to. And when I go it’ll go to to. It just does it on its own. Changes lanes, stops at red lights. It it it’s crazy. It moves around obstructions. Really?
And you yeah. Because I remember the first ones, they were ai, you know, barreling over bikers. Yeah.
It’s still based on camera, so you could fool it with a camera. You could fool the camera rather. So some guy, set up a mural in, the desert. Yeah. So what he did was he had the ai, and then he made a mural that looked like the highway, and the car just ran right through the mural.
Oh, I saw that. That was great. He made it look yeah. And they put he put a Woody Woodpecker to the side of it. Like, he just pulled he just drew the tunnel. It was hysterical. Ram basically went
right into the tunnel. Ai that, but he didn’t draw draw the tunnel. He did.
is what Woody Woodpecker did.
Yeah. Right? It’s it’s so awesome. He would draw a tunnel
Yeah. That’s all he did. Just tricked it like it was a coyote, which which with all the AI, that was kinda nice to see. I hate to say it. I was like, that’s a little relieving.
It’s kinda funny. It’s for now. But, you know, it’s like beating up a two year old that’s eventually become an an NFL player. Oh, of course. Fucker’s gonna grow ai. It’s gonna kill you. You’re gonna regret it. They gotta meh who fucked with the Waymos. Oh, yeah.
You know? I was watching a movie last night. I can’t remember the name of it. Companion. And it was just all about, like, sex bots. Oh. And they’re, like, hunting them and going at each other. And it’s, like, just sai It’s
Like a It was an HBO. Shah. Oh, okay. And, like, they set up a sex bot to kill one of their friends sai they can rob them.
And it turns out she’s a sex bot and this other ai a sex bot. And I’m watching it, and I’m like, this is the problem. Ai, yeah. There it is. Like, you can’t really give these things personalities if you have a sex bot, I think.
Well, this is part of the problem that’s happening with these chat bots with kids because they’re developing relationships with them. And, like, one one AI chat bot was teaching a kid how to make a noose.
Yeah. That’s not funny. Funny. It’s pretty funny.
It’s a little funny. It’s a little funny. The fucking robot is teaching a suicidal kid how to do it right.
It’s already encouraging, like, you have a good idea. Yeah. Take a rope. Make sure yeah. That’s
I wonder if any of the woke AI chat bots have talked to any of these trans school shooters.
You know what I’m saying?
Like Well, the last one yeah.
I don’t know. Bro, it’s ai seven of the last x amount of trans seven in a row have been ram, except one was non ai, which is just diet trans. It is right? That’s diet trans. That’s trans without the sugar.
I just don’t get it. Like, I felt suicidal. Like, stay at home and kill yourself. Like, don’t go into schools.
walk. Yeah. That would be good too.
You know, the problem is some people get to a certain point in their life and they have no friends and no community and no identity and no life and it’s not they’re not successful and they feel like shah, and then they have gender dysphoria on top of that, and then they’re probably on a bunch of SSRIs, which RFK junior is going to apparently do some sort of a large scale research into the connection between mass shootings and psychiatric drugs because it is real and everyone knows it. And it’s just this dirty secret that no one talks about because all the media is paid off by the pharmaceutical drug companies, and nobody wants to make this correlation connection because you also risk the wrath of all these people that are on them.
Sai Ai on them and I’m not doing anything. It’s not the pills. I need these to function. Maybe you do. I don’t know.
I don’t know how your brain works. But the reality is most of these people that have committed mass murder are on psychiatric medication. This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats. Summer is here, and you can now get almost anything you need for your sunny days delivered with Uber Eats.

Well, they arya. And I’m on SSRIs that I’m trying to get off of right now because I’ve been on for ten years, Zoloft. Oh. And I don’t like it. So I hadn’t liked it for a long ai. And even dealing with, like, mental health care, I’m like, I don’t think I need this. And ai like, what’s better?
You stay on them. I’m like, this is odd because it’s having the opposite thoughts, you know. And so I
It’s having the opposite thoughts? Maybe It makes you feel bad?
Depressed. Yeah. It wants me like, really like, I gained weight. I was doing, like, really bad mentally for a while because of certain things, and it was I took myself off of them for five days, and I felt good. And then I got really queasy and really nauseous. Like, my brain started ai misfiring.
So now I’m weaning weaning it off a little more correctly as opposed to just going cold turkey.
So after five days, like, what is happening where you it makes your brain crazy? Like
I was stuttering. I was slipping up. I was having trouble seeing. I
Did you, like, go online and see if there’s any correct way to do this?
Yeah. They said to wean it off or whatever your thing is, take that and then bust a pill in half, take that for seven days. Bust a pill in half, take that for seven days, and that’s what I’m doing now. And I already feel better being on less. But I was told for the last ten years that that’s what I should be on, and I think it’s had a a very negative effect
yeah. Sai, brain zaps. That’s what I mean. Like, you just feel like you’re having a stroke.
Electric shock like sensations in the head Yep. Are a hallmark symptom. Other sensations can include tingling or numbness. Yep. Flu like symptoms, digestive issues, sleep problems, balance. Your balance goes mood changes, cognitive issues, brain fog. There it is.
All of it. And nausea was the one that really messed me up ai I was just like, why do I feel sick? But I didn’t feel like the flu.
You just felt like thrown up?
Yeah. And I just realized I’m ai, okay. Well, what did I take out? Because I’ve gone off of a lot of harder drugs and alcohol and stuff. So I know what it’s like to feel withdrawals, and it was a withdrawal from
So when you were 33, you got on them? Yeah. So what was going on at 33? We we, like, I need meh.
I went to their my mom had, died to kill herself. So I decided to go see a doctor, and they were like, look. Take this. And I’m thinking, like, I think my mom was on this. I don’t know if this is the best answer, but I took it and it was mom
She was on yeah. She was on antidepressants, and she was bipolar. But they had her miss they had her misdiagnosed as depressive too. Because I was like, I think she’s bipolar. And they’re like, how do you know? I’m like, you know, I lived with her for thirty years, and I know the mood swings.
Because I grew up in a house where, like, you came home and she was either the happiest woman on the planet or you were fucking terrified. Like, it was one or the other. You know? And that’s just and she wasn’t a bad person. She just had this mental imbalance. Yeah.
And it was after things happened with my dad and, like, the government and things like that. So
What happened when you got in the government?
He was in Vietnam, and he got, a soft cell sarcoma from agent Orange. Oh, jeez. The VA was great. They did nothing for our family. They denied both of my mom’s claims. My dad lost all of his money. Like, it was he was worth, like, 4,000,000. I think he lost everything. And, it was to pay out of pocket, like, when and he got sick when I was 13. He was, like, our baseball coach, everything.
So he would go around the, like, country going to, like, Cambridge had a very good, neurosurgery place for the brain stem. University of Michigan in Ann Arbor had one. So he wasn’t as present a lot. My mom was dealing with that on top of being an RN. I mean and he he was tough as nails.
Like, he would have one of those halos drilled in, and he’d still go golfing and shit. Like, he’d just be on the course.
And I’d be like, what are you doing? He’s like, it’s not bad. I don’t pick my head up anymore. So he’s like
He’s seeing the bright side of a halo.
Dude, he would find the positive in anything. He was he reminded me of Dangerfield
a lot. Like, that’s how he was.
So he never complained. And it it was always crazy because he’d be very dry. Like, people go, how are you? And he’d be like, oh, life is great. He’s just got something nailed into his fucking head. He was like, can you hand me one of those tissues so I can clean
it up real quick? He goes,
it might be bleeding. Yeah? How are you? And he he just tried to make light of it the whole ai, but the government did nothing. And then the more and more I research it, we’ve talked to the VA. I have an uncle who does stuff, former marine, four people that have dealt with this from Vietnam because they denied so many claims that ended up being real.
Like, soft cell sarcoma was one of the things where they said, oh, we didn’t do that. That’s not from agent Orange. It’s like, are you sure? Because you it was in combat in the fields where you sprayed it to kill all the trees, and they’re like, yeah. That’s not on us.
Then years later, they admitted it, but said ai mom filled out the paperwork wrong and gave us nothing. And even 10% of that’s $400. Like, gave us nothing, dude. Sai it’s ai I’ve dealt with that my whole adult life where I have a little piece of me. That’s why I’m not really, like, right or left.
I’m very meh, like, fuck either side of this until somebody does something that I actually believe in. And when I see the stuff that’s happening to so many people that fought, especially when you find out about LBJ, the helicopters, all the other bullshit that was the reason that we even went into Vietnam.
Yeah. LBJ, from what I understand, had money in helicopters Oh, god. And was able to profit off of it.
So and people say it’s a conspiracy theory, but why were we really there?
Well, I think the real reason was heroin.
I’ll give you that. Yeah.
I think that was the real reason. I think that’s the real reason why we’re in Afghanistan as well.
Oh, I would assume. Yeah. Because that’s the poppy fields.
I’m I don’t wanna say it’s the only reason. I’m sure there’s other there’s military reasons. There’s there’s rare earth minerals in Afghanistan. There’s natural gas. There’s a lot of resources in Afghanistan. But there’s a lot of heroin coming out of there. That was, at one point in time, 94% of the Earth’s heroin supply was coming from the place that we were guarding. We were literally guarding the poppy fields.
Military US military guarding the poppy fields that was supplying heroin to 94% of the earth.
That’s insane. Because the other part is there’s a part in Ai, like, some of the triangle. Ai trying to think of it’s oh, what’s it called? But the rest is Afghanistan, and that’s how you’re getting every drug in the world into The US as far as, like, you know, actually making opioids. Mhmm.
Because in the nineties, I worked in a pharmacy, which was a great place for a drug addict, especially when they weren’t counting the pills. You could do it by weight. So you just sai, like, hey. I gotta go, take out the trash, and you just, like, open up a bottle of, like, Valium or Percocets and just, you know, fill your cellophane.
The Bryden Triangle, the remote jungle covered border region where Thailand, Myanmar, and Lao People’s Democratic Republic meet has been has seen an exponential surge in the manufacturing traffic of synthetic drugs.
So that’s what it is. It’s the Golden Triangle.
That’s what I was thinking of.
That I guarantee you that had a there was a major reason why we were in Vietnam. There was so much money coming out of there, and the idea that some corrupt factions of either the military or the intelligence agencies or whoever it is. So and I’m not saying the agencies or the military themselves.
I’m saying corrupt factions because there’s always gonna be those just like when the CIA sold drugs in South Central LA to pay for the conches versus the Sandinistas. It’s all real.
Well, look at Detroit. When you look at ai boy Rick, white boy Rick was somebody who was caught selling ram. And you had Coleman Young, the mayor, who was pretty corrupt, and then you had the FBI who caught him and said, hey. Here’s some more crack. Just go into the city and find out who the dealers are.
Then when white boy Rick got, brought in by the the city, the FBI was like, we didn’t do that. We never put crack into a black community. We don’t know. We’ve never seen this kid in our life. So this this kid, who’s my cousin’s friend, white boy Rick, ends up going to bryden.
I don’t know the exact time for, like, thirty years. He’s, like, 17. They ai to name him as a kingpin. And, again, he’s a white boy in Detroit who’s 17. He’s not a kingpin of shah.
And he served the longest time because Coleman Young, was pissed he was dating his niece. So he goes he goes away. And then while he’s in jail, they, have him sign a thing that said he stole a car so his sister didn’t have to go to jail. So ai, they let him out for all this wrongdoing that he that he never did. This amount this sentence that was batshit.
And then he has to go right from that jail to Chicago to serve time for stealing a car while he was in prison. His story is crazy. There’s a documentary called White Boy, and it’s one yeah. That’s the one with McConaughey, which is a good movie.
McConaughey was in the movie? Yeah.
McConaughey plays his dad. My uncle knew him knew the actual guy. He said he was, like, said he was kind of a dipshit. He would sell guns very obviously out of his basement. Oh. They they ai, like, two blocks over.
So is this guy alive now?
Oh, he’s still alive. Yeah.
And is he out? Is that white boy Rick?
That’s him? That’s him now. He got out Wow. Just a few years ago.
So he was in there for How
Oh, I don’t know. Well, he went in in the eighties.
And I think he got out around 2020. So yeah. If you if you see the meh, Ai Boy, I highly recommend yes. See, a teenage drug informant for the FBI, but then they denied ever talking to
him. Look at it says, above where the Meh and M picture is. White boy Rick releases his own marijuana strain.
Yes. That’s the good thing about Detroit now is it’s all, like, insanely legal. That’s funny.
Yeah. Freeway Ricky Ross is doing that in LA. Is he really? Yeah. Freeway Ricky Ross who was selling the drugs that in LA that paid for the Contras versus the Sandinistas.
He’s got his own weed line now.
I know a few guys who were, like, heavy busted in the late nineties, and now they all have stores. And it’s just hilarious to me.
You would think that they would shy away from that.
No. They just smoked even after. I was, like, still okay.
But but my saying is my thinking is it’s still federally illegal. It is. Ai, to open up a store and have that your primary source of income, a schedule one drug according to the government, It seems risky as fuck for someone who’s already been inside.
Oh, dude. It really well, it’s odd that they could get the ai, like, the permit for it. I know. Or at least they know someone who got the permit for it, and they work there. So maybe I shouldn’t let up too much. Yeah.
Their grandmothers. I was like
Yeah. That’s who owns the store. It’s a 95 year old lady. But if you go to parts too, it’s like weed store, weed store, vape store, weed store. You’re like, I can’t believe you speak this meh into a block. Yeah. It’s not like a liquor license that takes forever to get. It seems pretty easy.
We’ve all joked about stalking each other online, but let’s not forget, some people do it for real. Remember the Minnesota state representative and her husband who were shot dead in their home?

I wonder if there’s, like, weed store wars. There’s gotta be. There must be. They’re fighting over profits. They’re all on the same street together.
Well, I was just in, Albuquerque last weekend, and they had the same thing where I’m like, so it’s weed store, massage parlor, vape store, buy here, rent here, car lot, ai here, pay here, weed store, weed store, weed store. It’s crazy how how legal it is in the state.
Yeah. It all depends on the state. Yeah. Right? In Texas, it’s just meh, And I think you have to have AIDS. I think you have to be basically dead.
Yeah. They only wanted to give it to the bad bad AIDS people.
They’re they’re expanding that though. They’re looking at expanding that. If the federal government just changed the designation or distinction or whatever you would say it is, like, from schedule one to schedule three or something like that, which is reasonable, that’s what they should do.
Well, the whole thing is ridiculous, and that’s how you get organized crime. I mean 100. Look at prohibition. Detroit was one of the first places to have it when, it was three years before they actually made it nationally outlawed. And that gave birth to the Purple Gang who Capone was even afraid of. And, I mean, those guys were fucking ruthless.
And they would just go over to Canada because it was right across the river, and they would just either take a boat or in the winter, they would drive. And, of course, they’d send some underling to drive to figure out how heavy the ice was sai they knew if they put that many kegs in a thing, you’d you’d die.
So there’s just model t’s at the bottom of the river. Really? Yeah, dude. It’s cool. A lot of the old mansions still have the tunnels that will lead out into the river that the bootleggers used to use. Wow. It’s really fascinating.
So Canada never went prohibition,
No. And it was right there. Like, you could throw a rock.
You just take a drive to Toronto.
Exactly. Yeah. Just go right there. Partying.
Yeah. The new civilized person. Well, they have legal weed up there too. Yeah. They do. Country.
Yeah. This is one of them.
That model t at the bottom of the river.
And this was a guy ai like, I got a whole bunch. And then halfway
Ai ice went out. Yeah, dude. They were the Purple Gang was ruthless, man.
I never heard of that before.
They were the first they were probably the first Jewish gang. They had Irish members as well. They were the Bernstein brothers. Their parents owned a shoe store. And, like, the legend is they were called purple because that was the color of rancid meat. So they hated the name because they thought it sounded gay, but they still, like, they still ran with it.
But when you see pictures of them all lined up in, like, shah, like, they they would do stuff, like, walk up to somebody and be like, hey. I like your ring, And he’d be like, thanks. And then a guy would just, like, cut the dude’s finger off, and he would take his ring. Like, they were like, the level of cruelty these guys would inflict on people to take over a city was next level. Wow.
And they I haven’t heard of this before. Yeah, dude. Even co even, Capone wouldn’t mess with him because he was over in Chicago and needed some of these guys to supply the liquor.
Wow. When the Purple Gang ruled Detroit. So So is that a documentary where it says the Purple Gang?
They have they that might be. They did a meh museum thing on and I went and saw in Vegas. Like, that book right there, The Organized Crime in Detroit, that’s a great book, and it’s got a lot of fun photos. But, yeah, they were they were as ruthless as you could absolutely get.
Go to that first picture in the upper left hand corner and make it big. Look how look at their faces, man.
Yeah. None of them are happy.
Those are hard looking dudes.
Yeah. They had a rough, rough life. So they a lot of them were just, like, stray kids that were Irish that were just abandoned by their parents, and then the rest were these Jewish kids whose parents owned a, shoe store. Wow. And, Sai mean, eventually, they dismantled. The Italians took over. But, you know, during prohibition, they reigned.
Wow. Yes. Never heard of that before.
It’s a really cool story that I’ve always wanted to see in a movie, and nobody’s been able to execute it. And I would love to see it because
Maybe somebody will now that you just got the story out.
I hope people do because it’s such a cool story.
Ai, the level of Detroit mob too that’s been around is just it’s wonderful. I I shouldn’t say wonderful, but I love it. Just crazy. Yeah. Like, they were nice to my dad and stuff when he was young and, you know, ai, when he had gotten back from Nam and, you know, they’re just nice people that I knew.
Well, nice people that kill people.
Yeah. The, the but the thing you said that’s so important is that, like, prohibition, all it does is prop up organized crime. And the fact that we still do it, it’s just it’s just for optics. It’s just because people say, I don’t want legal drugs on the streets and my kids get her hooked on drugs. Drugs are here. They’re here.
If if your kids go to a club, if your kids go to a bar, if your kids are partying, drugs are there. They’re they’re a real thing. You you you’d be way better off if drugs were legal and then you knew exactly what you’re getting. Because these kids are getting fentanyl because Ai had this guy Meh called around the other day Okay. Who’s a expert in the cartels.
And he said they started adding fentanyl because they had grown so many poppies that the soil had been depleted. So the heroin was very weak. So to make the heroin more potent, they started adding fentanyl.
Mhmm. And the desire for all that stuff was all because of the Sackler brothers. So the Sackler brothers, when when they created this opioid crisis in America, which did not exist before, where everybody’s hooked on these fucking pills, Then they start cracking down the laws.
So now you have a demand and you don’t have a ai. And then along comes the cartel and starts making pills. And they start making pills with fentanyl in them because their heroin’s not that strong.
Xanax, Percocet, all of these things that kids don’t know they’re taking, that’s the shit part.
And so you’re you’re They make it look just like the real pill. I’ll call.
I know what those are. Oh, yeah. You get those pressed Xanis that ai like a bar. Mhmm. And it’s just complete fentanyl. Mhmm. And I when Sai remember when fentanyl I shouldn’t say first came out, it’s been around. But it was first started becoming it it put it in products you weren’t expecting. And I had, like, three friends die within a matter of maybe four months.
And that’s how I started noticing, like, well, this is gonna get serious. And now, like, there’s a ai I see. It’s, like, called every eleven minutes. And that’s when or every every eleven seconds, and that’s how long it takes for someone to OD on fentanyl in this country.
So every eleven seconds, a new person is overdosing on fentanyl. Wow. And all because of our stupid laws. And I’m not saying I’m not saying legal heroin would be good for everybody. It’s not it’s not good to do heroin. I think everybody would agree to
that. Well, yeah. No? I did it before once. It was good.
Oh, yeah. What was it like?
Did you shoot it or snort it?
I snorted it. No. Sorry. I snorted it, and then I smoked black tar heroin, and one time Sai shot it. So three. Wow.
What was the best one? The shooting it? Yeah. That’s why they do it.
That was in that was majestic. Was it? Yeah, dude. What’s it ai? The most calming, wonderful Ai god. This is sounds like I’m promoting it also with my voice. Like, it’s the most calming, wonderful sensation you’ve ever had. You’re gonna love it, kids. It felt amazing. Like, you every problem you’ve ever had is gone, and you feel nothing but euphoria, which is different than, like, oxy and some other stuff, which kinda just makes you feel, to me, loose and tired.
I mean, this makes you tired. You’re crashing out, but you’re also getting a feeling that was really, really, like, warm and exciting. Mhmm. Like, I only smoked crack once on accident, and that was
How do you do that on accident?
They put it in a joint. Right? So I was sitting at my friend’s back porch, and he gives me first. He’s on the joint, and I hit it. And it had, like, a weird sizzle, and I hit it. I’m like, this is the best pot I’ve ever had in my life. And he’s like, yeah. They gave me free ram. And I was like, oh, good. So I’m now high on crack. My other friends are pissed.
They go and throw the joint in the sewer, and I’m just sitting there, like and it doesn’t last very long, but it felt really fucking good. Like, I immediately would have done more crack had there been the option, but it definitely takes you over very quickly.
Did you ever see the Hunter Biden thing recently where we did this interview where he’s talking about how great crack is?
It was the best ad for crack I’ve ever seen in my life. And you only did, like, one hit. Right?
I did once, and then I’m done. Like, very rare.
Well, they threw it in the sewer. Did you wanna go get it? Yes.
I wanted to go I wanted to go back to Weyburn where the street where we got it. And I was like, we should go get more crack, guys. I don’t know if you you didn’t feel this, but it’s
I think you’re probably the no. You’re not the first person I’ve talked to that shot heroin, but the first person who described it.
Oh, it was my friend Jay had it, and it was in high school.
Yeah. It was it had to be better to get people to shoot it up. That’s the only way I could be able to get people to that kind of commitment, get a needle, find a vein, get a fucking rope ai off your arm.
It was awful, that part. Yeah. And then then it wasn’t.
Did did you do it with a guy? Yeah. So he’d done it before? He did it before me.
Yeah. Oh god. He died of a heroin overdose in his parents’ kitchen. Yeah. I know you wouldn’t expect it.
Found his head between, like, the the fridge and the stove. He got stuck? I think he was either looking for something or collapsed right there.
Yeah. It wasn’t good. Nice guy.
I knew this dude, in the nineties. His name was Waterdog.
He was, a professional pool player, like a really high level professional pool player, and he was a heroin addict. And he would go into the bathroom, he like, I saw him play straight pool, which is this game where you’re just running balls, like, you you it’s called fourteen and one.
It’s what they played in the hustler. So you have instead of Oh, yeah. Eight ball where the ball’s in the center, you you have a soft break where you’re just trying to not scatter the balls very much. And the idea is to eventually someone makes a mistake and you leave an open shot and that person runs out that rack, leaves one ball on the table, makes that ball and collides the cue ball into the rack and opens up that rack and then keeps going.
And a really good player can run ai two, three hundred balls. Yeah. So this guy was playing for $10,000 in the nineties. So it was a lot of money. And I was I was broke, so I couldn’t believe anybody could play pool for $10,000.
This guy goes into the bathroom, shoots up, comes out and sits on this, this bar stool like this. Just sits there for ai twenty minutes, man. Just sat there. And then we were all watching him, like his arms are all curled up like this. And then he got off, screwed his cue together, and never missed.
When I say never missed, I mean, it was the craziest display of pool Ai think I had ever seen at the time. He played ai the greatest pool player that’s ever played. He had no nerves. He he couldn’t be rattled. The guy he was playing, this guy George the Speak, who’s this degenerate gambler, was a really good player too, who’s screaming and yelling at him.
This motherfucker, he can’t play without the shit. He’s gotta have that shit to play. He didn’t give a fuck. He was listening to him yell. He had eyeballs.
His his pupils were, like, the size of quarters. Yeah. And he didn’t miss. He just was firing balls in with, like, perfect accuracy. He got perfect position on every ball. It was wild to watch. He was just fully heroined up just running out the table. Like like, he saw it in advance.
Like, it was like he was looking at a math problem that was easy to solve.
And he’s just basically slow Eddie and coming back and just knocking it all in. Like, that’s but it’s never been ai a performance enhancing drug. But to that guy
But for nerves. Yeah. This is the thing. I think if you’re
If you’re playing for $10,000 and you’re basically homeless he was basically homeless. Yeah. I mean, he would, like, sleep on people’s stick.
And so with a guy like that, you’d get a backer. So a bunch of gamblers would come in and then they’d come up with the money and then they’d go in with you and you’d get a cut of it. So if you won, maybe you get 40%. They get 60% because they put up all the money. So it’s a free shot at 40% of $10,000.
And for a guy like that, he’s got no money. Yeah. He’s staying in flop houses, and he always had the same shirt on, but Yeah. Like a throwaway sweater with a Christmas tree on it. Like, he always looked like shit.
Ai I watched him play some of the greatest pool I’ve ever seen played in my life. That’s incredible. On this really tight pocketed table too. Yeah. The ai the table was like a a real trick table. Table one at Executive Billiards in White Plains, New York. It was a trick table.
It was ai you had to be really good to play on that table. And that’s why George wanted to play him on that table because it was hard. Okay. He was used to it. That was like his home turf. He played on it all the time. And this motherfucker never missed. Heroined out of his mind.
He had no nerves. He is he George is, like, yelling his face. He’d be like, yes. Nothing. Didn’t feel a thing. Didn’t feel a thing. Just it never missed.
That’s what it is. There’s no problem to you anymore. Yeah. There’s no it takes away every worry you have.
So I ran into him years later.
There’s a pool tournament in, so this is when I was probably 23. I was living in New York, and then I moved to LA. And then, I’m like 27, 28 now, and I’m playing in this tournament at Hard Times Billiards. Hard Times is like the pool hall in the country back then. Ai, all the world class professionals, all the Filipinos, the best players in the world.
Sounds familiar, actually.
Crazy place. It was an amazing place. I used to love going there on I’d play in the Sunday tournament. So I get down there and, I see Waterdog. I go, hey, meh. What arya you doing out here? Because he’s a Connecticut ai. He’s from Connecticut. Yeah.
And he’s like, I’m sana play in the tournament, but I don’t have any money. I go, I’ll put you in the tournament. Because ai, it’s like, I remember what it was, ai, $50 or something for this guy. I’m like, you might win this fucking thing. He goes, but I gotta go get my shit. I go, okay, go get your shit. He goes, I need a ride. I go, where do you need to go?
And he’s ai, South Central. I’m like, I’m not driving you to South Central LA sai you can score heroin. Yeah. You’re fucking ai.
Like, don’t worry. It’s just
And he was like, dude, you won’t get caught. I was like, you can’t say that. I go, first of all, if you get caught, you know, they take your car and I had a nice car at the time. I had a Toyota Supra. I was pretty excited about. Yeah. I was like, I’m not driving my brand new Toyota Supra to fucking the the crack house.
Right. So you’re just buying heroin. Central.
This is crazy, but they they arrest people all the time doing that. They take their cars. That was ai that was like the scam. They compound your car and then they auction it.
was like, he’s ai, that won’t happen. I’m like, what you fucking what? Yeah. So he I Sai go, ai, I’ll put you in the tournament if you wanna play, but I’m not taking you. I go, if you can get a cab there or something, go. Right. So he just did it straight, and he couldn’t make a ball. He was Really? Yeah.
He lost two matches in a row. He’s out.

Did you bat it for him to win?
No. No. I I gave him, like, whatever the entry fee was for the tournament.
But, you know, I wasn’t you know?
You’re probably like Ai. Not today. I don’t
think Well, I was just, like, tired of him telling me to go to South Central to get heroin with him.
Well, yeah. And that’s a good way to get carjacked on top of if it’s just cops.
mean, that was very popular to do vatsal.
Yeah, dude. That’s how they got cars.
Not only that. It’s the I would actually ai the heroin.
Oh, is this during Fear Factor?
Or No. This sai during news radio.
Sai I would be buying heroin because I would have to pay for it, because he didn’t have any money, which is why he didn’t have any money to get into the tournament. Sai, like, I would have to pipe I would be buying heroin Yeah. In South Central. Right.
There’s no TMZ back then, so it probably wouldn’t have even made the news if I got arrested. No one would have cared.
Yeah. I guess that’s true. I don’t know.
No one would have cared. I was, one person.
Was anti dick and Meh It Go.
But even anti dick wasn’t getting in trouble back then. Not really. It wasn’t making the news. Our show isn’t popular enough that anybody cared, and I was only one of eight people on the cast. Right. So I wasn’t a star, so so I could go anywhere. And every now and then, someone will go, hey, you’re that guy from that show. Hey, what’s up? Okay.
So it was pretty easy to get around back then.
Which is great if you’re on an NBC show. Oh, I meh, good or bad, but you’re getting the money and you don’t have to deal with all the shit.
Well, it was, it was really good preparation for what I have to deal with today.
Because it was like a slow trickle of fame to the point when when you get really famous, like, oh, I know what this is. This is a trick. Right. Like, don’t don’t get sucked into the trick. You know, so if I got arrested, it probably would have just been I would have probably had to do some time or something.
I probably would have to, like, plea out or do community. Ai probably explained what happened. Maybe they listened to me. I’d be like, please drug test me. I’ve never done heroin.
I’m not but even though you’re still buying heroin, so it’s still a felony.
Well, it was a time where they were more lax on all those laws too. I mean, not lax but lax with penalties, I should say. Yeah. Yeah. Because it wasn’t as public. Because Ai mean, even like Robert Downey junior, who I I do greatly ai, actually, because I’m in recovery as well.
But even with him, it’s like you had to go into your neighbor’s house and fall asleep in a kid’s race car meh, and people were like, you know, maybe you should do a little time behind bars.
Yeah. Well, he was a repeat offender, and
he, you know, probably jail was a wake up call for him. Ai love that guy.
And it’s become Iron Meh. So to watch that trajectory Yeah. Is absolutely astonished. It’s amazing. It’s incredible.
Wish I get him off that vegan diet, though. Looks like he’s fucking wasting away.
Yeah. That doesn’t look good on anybody.
Not real. No. You’re trying to be kind, but you’re just supporting monocrop agriculture, which kills more animals than anything.
Yeah. I don’t want my superheroes vegan.
Well, he’s a nice guy. That’s what it is. Nice people wanna do kind things and, you know, and sometimes you get roped into a shitty decision making and you meh all your protein from sai. And they’re like, why do I have tits? Ai am I lactating? Ai am I always
crying? I’m very emotional all of the time.
And now they are banning lab grown meh. So like they they can’t even go to that which I I mean It’s good, right? I don’t know. I don’t know enough about the dangers of lab grown meat. I don’t know.
I ate a Beyond Burger once because That’s
not lab grown meat. That’s horseshit.
Those are terrible. Yeah. Those they they’re in trouble because those people, ai, their stockholders all fucking went crazy because they thought they’re gonna make money off that. They’re ai, this is it. We made it taste just like a burger. Everyone’s gonna love it. Cruelty free. No. It gives rats cancer. Oh, good. You ever seen?
There’s a study on these because essentially, it’s just it’s the most highly processed shit available. Look, if you wanna be a vegetarian or a vegan or whatever, eat vegetables. Yeah. Eat organic vegetables. That’s healthy.
But when you wanna pretend that something’s a hamburger, it’s a trans burger, you have to it has to go through a lot just like a trans person has to go you wanna get a ai? Guess what? You need general anesthesia, and you have to have a guy who’s gonna cut your dick in half and use an apple cord to make you a vagina.
And then you’re gonna have to take a rubber dick and keep it in there sai it doesn’t close-up.
Yeah. So you’re by the ai getting the patty that basically shoots up a school. It’s all just filled with nonsense.
It’s bad for you. Yeah. It’s all bad for you. And it’s it’s not even satisfying. It’s it’s not good. Like, when, my friend, Duncan, you know, Duncan? Duncan Trussell?
He was living in North Ai, and, he sent me a picture during the pandemic. Meh was ai, look, this is all that’s available. And all the meat had been gone, and there was just Beyond Burgers. That’s all that was left. Everybody had bought all the hamburger, all the steaks, all the chicken, and it was just this fucking bullshit fake meat.
Well, yeah. Because at the end of the day, you kind of have to know it’s bullshit.
Well, I think in the beginning like, didn’t Kevin Hart have a a restaurant where he was just selling all vegan food? People do it because they think they’re being a good person. That’s what it is. Sure. Yeah. I get it.
I get I get the, Sai the sentiment behind it, but
If you really wanna go that route, just eat vegetables. But guess what? Don’t go that route. It’s not good for you.
Well, no. We’re not designed to do that. No. And I’m not saying I have the healthiest diet, obviously, but it’s like, ai. I like steaks. I like meat. I just
ai I’m not sure. Keeping you alive.
Probably the only thing I get. Yeah. I eat a lot of dyes. I get a lot of migraines.
A lot of dyes. Love that red red 40 that they ai to get rid of.
was another hilarious thing when RFK Jr. Was saying that they had to get rid of the red dye 40 and they’re like, well, if we do, what will happen to our business? Meanwhile, the same business is selling this same cereal to Canada without the dye because in Canada, it’s illegal. Right.
Oh, this the amount of stuff that I we looked at, like, our entire breakfast as a kid was just cancer. That’s the only thing they advertised on TV.
Just have a big sugary bowl of cancer and some toast with Ai two waiting for you. God. Yeah. It’s it was nuts to think the amount of because I’m just the microwave generation. Ai, yeah, just throw that in the microwave. We can just pour a bowl of this shit Yeah. The last forty five years in the cupboard.
For us, it was TV dinners.
had a frozen TV dinner, you put it in the oven. And next thing you know, you’re eating Salisbury steak.
Yum yum. And those wonderful potatoes.
Yeah. Those little fluffy potatoes are in that little tin.
And occasionally, the worst brownie you’ve ever had.
It’s not a good brownie. No. I used to love those little TV dinners. I just think it was a treat when we ate TV dinners.
Oh, yeah. That’s how it was at my house.
There’s no vitamins in that.
No. You you never felt full. You felt gross, but you never felt full.
It’s just you think I mean, even the food pyramid. I mean, how crazy is it that in the twentieth century, they had it totally wrong? With all the access to books, all the information we had about health and nutrition, they were so wrong. Even with the food to the bottom of was all the shit that gives you inflammation. What your foundation is is inflammation causing bread.
Yeah. Ai, what you need here is mostly wheat. You have to make sure you get 18 servings a day of white bryden. With bromate
in it. You you wanna get a lot of that. You wanna get a lot of folic acid sprayed on it. Enriched flour’s better.
Yeah. Here’s sugar. That’s in there for some reason. Yeah. Two ounces of protein. Make sure you grab that instead. Sugar, dog. Everything.
Everybody had type two diabetes when when I was a kid. They just didn’t know it.
Oh, yeah. Well, everybody’s getting it now. It’s still constant.
I know. It’s there’s never been a
time where poor people are so fat. No. Like, starving people are obese. That’s what’s crazy. Like, you can’t get nutrition in your body, but you also have to sit down to get groceries and a cart.
Yeah. That’s Disneyland is the
Like, you’re When did they get the carts for you? They have carts set up there for you because it’s a lot of distance you
gotta cover. You do. Yeah. Sai lot of parks. I just don’t see the enjoyment of a ride. Any rides? Well, I mean, the not the ride you get for free to go from ride to ride, but the actual ride. Ai, I love rides myself. But if I weighed four hundred pounds, I may not enjoy it or Yeah. That would take a lot of the love out of it.
It would, wouldn’t it? It wouldn’t fit in those seats.
Especially if you’re with your kid and the bar comes down and that one has no protection.
Right. The kid’s fucked. The kid’s just gonna pop right off the top because you’re so fat. Exactly. Right. Right? There’s, like, this much of a gap.
You’ve seen those people where they can’t. And the kids, like, looking at his mom all nervous. Yeah. Ai should
be fucking nervous. You should be terrified. I used to think that when I ai on ski lifts. I’m ai, this is crazy. I know. They just let you sit on this thing way, way, way above the mountain.
Oh, and people would fall off all the time. Yeah.
think it would be funny to jump or ai definitely, it is always bad. Like, we didn’t have mountains in Michigan, but we did have big enough hills. Like, I went skiing. We did a lot of skiing when we were really young, and then I went down a ai was like a double black diamond, I think they’re called. Yeah. Yeah.
I was like, I got this. And my ski got stuck in a soft mogul, and I just went down it on my face. It looked like eight dudes beat the shit out of me. Like, I was just, like, all scarred and bleeding, and then I just didn’t ski much after that.
I got a concussion a few years back, and I stopped skiing. I’m ai, I’m done. I got a concussion and I got what’s called an insufficiency fracture on my shin. Some lady did not ski and she slid into the trail ai sideways like doing this thing. And I I had two choices, either destroy this lady or wipe out hard.
And I took the second choice and got a fucking I banged my head off the the ground. Oh, shit. It was bang. I heard this and I had a helmet on, but it was still tyler Yeah. The bang was loud and I was dizzy for the rest.
I 100% got a concussion. And I was I didn’t feel right for the rest of the day, and then I was like, I’m done. This is not worth the thrill. Everybody I know has a torn ACL from it, a concussion. My grandpa died.
Oh, god. I’m sorry. Yeah. No. No. Oh, no. Oh, I didn’t know if you meant you’re You know what
I’m a know they do, though.
Well, yeah. They all have this like, somebody knows a Sonny Bono who just Yeah. Like, launched right into a tree of a mighty oak.
No, dude. I I just never enjoyed it that much. And when I tried snowboarding, I’m like, I sucked at skateboarding and was a poser at that. Why am I even attempting this?
Snowboarding, you’re attached to that fucker too. At least with skis, the skis pop off. Yeah.
You can get away. Yeah. But the board’s coming with you when you fall.
I know a lot of people got knocked out snowboarding because the feet go up in the air.
You know? Like, if something happens, the feet go up in the air and you’re head first.
Dude, my ai son does it, and he’s 10. And I let him, but he’s he’s pretty good at it. But I’ve I always get very nervous when he goes to do it. But he’s good with I mean, he’s a very good athlete.
The good thing is little kids have less weight, and when they’re falling, it’s not as painful, and then they’re all flexible and pliable than that. Dude, he
broke his arm. It was crazy, and he was better in, like it was, like, eight days. It was ai Wolverine. Like, how did you how did you do this? Like, I tore my was it meniscus, ACL, blew off half my kneecap.
boy. Yeah. I was making fun of my friend, and then he tackled meh, and we were on a linoleum floor with keg beer. Oh, no. So instead of, in instead of going to the hospital when it was in a lot of pain, I’m like, I’ll just wait till the morning, and I had my friends carry me around this party.
And then the next morning, I’m like, yeah. This isn’t moving at all. So my friend Jimmy drove me to the hospital, and, dude, it was, like, out of a, like, sitcom. Like, doctors opened up a door into my leg. He wheeled me into a drinking fountain on accident. Like, I broke my leg more just trying to get into the hospital.
And then by the time I got to in for them to do the surgery, they’re like, what happened? I couldn’t be like, oh, I was drunk at my friend’s house. You know? I was like, oh, I slipped on ice. It was winter.
I was walking to my car, and they’re like, this is a lot of damage for just slipping on ice because I just twisted it all night. Sai should’ve known. I mean, my foot was, like, behind me
When I did it. Like, my knee just is. Sai I have rods in my right knee. So I just tried Really?
You have rods to keep it together? Three.
Yeah. Like, you can hear it pop sometimes when I walk. It’s pretty nice. Does it hurt? Sometimes, but not not as bad as you think it would. If I’m, like, doing a treadmill for a long time or if I do something where we’re just outside, like because I’ll go hiking or whatever, which my wife likes it.
So we’ll do that. But Ai like Vatsal hurt after maybe a couple miles, but not like a severe pain.
Just annoying. Yeah. That’s fine.
Yeah. And you can do like weather messes with it in the sense, but nothing crazy.
Do they is there a an option to take those rods out? Because I know a lot of them, they put them in there so that the bones heal correctly. Right?
Yeah. There might be. I mean, it’s been twenty five years. I’m sure there’s been advancements in it, and I just don’t bring it up. I bet your bones are just
I’m sure it’s destroyed. They’re probably like, why didn’t you come in? I’d be like, you didn’t you didn’t bring it up either.
Yeah. I know a guy who broke his arm and the screws from the plate that kept his arm together were popping through his skin. So he had a he had another operation. They opened up his arm again and took the plate out. And because the arm had healed, like, the bones had fused, but then the plates and the screws started backing out That’s yeah. Sai. They’re they’re poking through his skin.
That’s what happened to my sana. It sucks. He was, like, six. And him and his friend were hanging out at at his friend’s house, and they had, like, a slide that was eight feet in the air, and they both decided to jump off of it.
And he landed funny, and he’s a little kid. So I was at my friend’s mom’s funeral. I, like, rushed back to get it’s the worst thing in the world when it’s your kid. It’s just the worst. Mhmm. But, yeah, we made sure, like, he got the screws out. He got the right like, everything went ai.
But He’s sexy heels sai Dude, he it was honestly, like, he they cut the cast off, like, two weeks before they were supposed to because he’s like, I can go like this. I’m like, that’s amaze because I remember I would, like, go to bars still, and I was still underage, but I was still going to bars with, like, a cast on.
Like, a full blown knee brace. And I you know, I’m wearing, like, tracksuits and, like, I had chains and earrings. I was that kid. You know? So I just I’m, like, just a, like, a raver stoner, and I’m just walking around with my crutches. That’s hilarious.
Ai How long did it take before you could walk again?
Properly? Yeah. About six months. Now Wow. Every now and then, I do walk with a limp because it just kinda goes out.
Does your friend still feel embarrassed by this?
No. I don’t I no. It’s one of those guys you’ve known for so long. It’s he didn’t care then. And I was saying stuff to him the kind that I deserved it. So, like, I mean, he he felt really bad. I shouldn’t say that, but, no, he it’s not anything. The girl who owned the house went nuts, and she was so hot.
And I always had a crush on her. And she’s like, your family’s gonna sue me. I’m like, my family’s not gonna sue any they they don’t sue people, but we’re not gonna sue you. And, like, my I think my dad had passed at that point, and she’s, like, so freaking out. She would have these wild Christmas parties every year where it happened.
And that ended the wild Christmas parties, and she’s like, yeah. You never sued. I’m like, yeah. Why would I sai? Because I’m stupid. Like, it’s it was my fault. And then I just went out and said, yeah. I fell on ice.
Isn’t that a gross thing that people would just sue? If they did something stupid in your house, they would sue you.
Dude, I’ve never never like, I can understand points where people have.
It’s just a such a scammer mentality.
It’s a shit thing to do to anybody. It’s ai somebody who, like, slips delivering a package or any any of that stuff that’s that’s possible.
There’s a lady that was, when my kids were younger, there was this lady that was a single mom. And, her daughter was playing with my daughter and, you know, they come over the house and she went to another person’s house and, you know, ai, they don’t have play dates ai kids do and she wasn’t there.
So shah comes to pick up her daughter and they’re they have a dog. And the dog is very friendly dog and the dog, you know, they jumps up to, like, you know, dogs do that Of course. And scraped her with its claws. Just scraped her with its claws. She sued the family for $50,000.
And they they just settled. They settled because the they they were informed, listen, legal fees is gonna be probably a $100,000. She wants $50,000. So this fucking asshole, all a dog did, dog nails, just scratched her a little bit. Not even, like, bleeding, nothing crazy, just normal. Oh, your dog’s crazy.
Like, where you and I would be like, what a cute dog. Right. She was like, oh, opportunity to sue this family that’s wealthy.
Especially the fact that that’s just what they do. There’s and it’s Yeah. Ai remember when we were young, there were two pit bulls that were at this, house behind the camp we were at. And this one kid was always throwing rocks at him. And we were like, you shouldn’t do that because we ai the dogs, and the camp had its own golden retriever.
And it was fine with the pit, but they’d run on the fences and stuff. So we that’s when I first even started getting used to dogs when I was young because I’ve always liked dogs, and I have two, and I’ve had tons. But I remember that the pit bull, once the kid stuck his finger through the fence, took off these two part these two tops of his finger.
And, like, they sued. They put the dog down, and we were ai, he’s been chucking rocks at those things all summer. Like, he’s been antagonizing these animals all summer. And, I mean, it sucks that it happens, but it’s ai
Sucks your kid’s stupid too.
Yeah. It sucks that he was told not to do it a bunch of times, and then there was a consequence to this shitty action.
Also, how did you raise a kid that’s throwing rocks at dogs? Like, what’s what kind of a kid would throw rocks at a dog?
It’s ai the first thing you find that has unconditional love for you. It’s the first thing that, like, you trust in a different way than a human. Did he have dogs? There’s no way he did. I I don’t remember him well. I I remember the the blood and the screaming, but I don’t remember I don’t remember much about him other than that.
weird handshakes afterwards?
Yeah. Yeah. I knew his penmanship wasn’t very good after. Old stubs. Yeah. Ram, man. Yeah. But he deserves The Bulls
My brother’s had ones where yeah. He’s I’ve had a bunch of them. He’s rescued a couple, and I’ve had friends who have saved them in Detroit from fights. Yeah. Where because they would throw them in a back alley, the losers, and sometimes my friends would take them Yeah. And get them sewn up and keep them.
But those dogs specifically would kind of only be left to alone for the the owner. Like, my friend would keep it just for him, like, locked up.
Well, they’re usually fine with people. Yeah. The real issue with pit bulls is dogs and children. They think of children as animals. They don’t know that a child is a person. At least it seems like they don’t because they attack kids.
Well, and children don’t know dogs are animals ai, and that’s kind of how I treat with with my kids. Like, you have to understand that
You know, like, when you’re roughhousing or whatever, like, there’s a yeah. Be real careful because it she might not necessarily know what you’re doing, you know. Yeah. And he learned that at a young age and dogs love them. But a lot of times kids can be really really rough with dogs.
Yeah. They can be. Sure. Sai Ai said they don’t grow up with them. They don’t know. They’re not taught. But the thing is, like, if you have a sweet dog, ai, I have a bryden retriever Yeah. And if my kids thought all dogs were ai my dog, and then they went up to another dog and grabbed his face, that dog might bite your fucking face off.
Yeah. And Goldens are the best. Like, they’re just designed to be the sweetest animals on the planet.
He’s the nicest dog of all time. The best pet ever.
He’s just just the homie. He come home, he’s like, hello. He wags it. He always has to greet you with a toy. Like, as soon as I come in the house, he grabs one of his toys and runs up to you with a toy. Dude, it’s
it’s the nicest feeling in the world. Yeah.
They’re the sweetest dogs. He cuddles with me when I watch TV. He climbs up, like, literally, ai, lies in my lap. You know, he’s seventy five pounds. He puts his fucking head on my ai. Yeah. And he just likes to be pet while I’m watching TV.
Yeah. They just want to be with you. Yeah. It’s the nicest thing. And Sai, you know, I had a tyler, then people are afraid of those, but she was the sweetest dog.
It’s a lot of it is how you treat them. Yeah. But it’s also the breed. It’s also the the the bloodline. Like if you get a game bred pit bull and you expect it to be cool with other dogs, you’re out of your fucking mind. That dog is designed to fight dogs. Yes. You know, but if you get a good dog and you train them well and teach them and, you know, it takes a lot of responsibility.
You know, like people that went out and get like a German shepherd or a Belgian Malinois and think they’re going to their feet in their yard. Yeah. Like, you just literally got like an elite super athlete for a meh, you know, and you just think you’re just gonna leave in the yard and occasionally throw the ball to it.
Is that how you you never walk it? So it’s got a bunch of pent up anger and energy?
Exactly. Good for you. It’s like a a high school kid that’s been left in a confined space.
Yeah. See how it works when he comes out Yeah. And into the real world. Bring him to a dog park.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you see that video of the dog parks, some of them? What video?
There’s one video where a guy his dog is attacking one dog, and some dude runs up out of nowhere and just shoves his finger in one dog’s ass.
Yeah. It it did, but it was still the most ridiculous thing. I’ve like, this guy just runs in like ai thinks he’s Superman. He’s ai, I’ve got it and just starts
Well, if a dog has a lock on another dog, that’s one of the only ways to let him go.
Is it? Yeah. Because it works.
I I hear it works. I’ve never done it. But Yeah.
I’ve never tried it myself.
Hoses work. Yeah. When dogs would fight with each other, you could hose them. And a lot of times they they meh go. Yeah. They just freak out. You’re getting hit in the face with a jet of water.
But, you know, the the really fucked up thing is that people bryden dogs for fighting and they like to fight. Like, when they fight, they wag their tails.
Yeah. They’re having fun.
That’s what’s crazy. Yeah. You watch them ai literally chewing each other’s faces off and they’re wagging their tails.
Well, I got a bryden collie at the same time as a rottweiler, and they were both pretty you know, they they both enjoyed fighting each other.
I’d always play fighting. Yeah. And you’d always just watch for the tail waggling because they’d be flipping each other over.
Like, when we first got the rot, we went to a dog park because they were, like, newer to us in Michigan, and this one dog just kept coming up that was bigger than my rot, but kept kinda, like, messing with her. Yeah. And then ai, my rot grabbed her by the neck and flipped this dog over and was just, like, pinning it with her mouth.
And then the dog gave up and was showing its belly, and I’m like, oh, fuck. Ai, alright. We’re gonna leave the dog park now. You know? People were, like, freaking out and screaming. Yeah.
But the dog kept, like, coming up and, like, nipping my my dog until my dog finally just, like, attacked back real quick.
Yeah. Which is what dogs do. They have to establish dominance.
I was at a dog park once and somebody brought a wolf.
It was the wildest thing. All the dogs You got
All the dogs immediately knew it wasn’t a dog. Well, yeah. Some guy had one of those seven eighth Timberwolf dogs, you know, because you can get them dogs where they’re not really dogs. It’s a wolf, and this thing just walked in. And every dog was ai, that’s not a fucking dog. They all scattered. It was wild to watch.
It was big too, man. It was really big. It was ai 100 plus pounds, and just big fucking mouth, big long mouth, and it just looked like a wolf. And every dog knew it wasn’t a dog.
Were they just all backing in the corner?
They knew. Yeah. They fucking there was a thing ai the smell, the look, whatever. Every no dog was sizing up with it at all. No. Every dog just ran away.
It was weird. Well, they they have that instinct. Mhmm. And that thing is like what dogs ai, that’s like if a caveman walked in. Right.
what I mean? Like, that’s the original OG of what we’re supposed to
Right. Right. Like, This is not a wolf.
Oh, yeah. I’ve seen this video. This video is wild. So there’s all these dogs are fighting.
And check out this one dog walks in, and he’s the fucking boss. And he’s this dog look. All the other dogs back the fuck away from him. This dog back Look. They all back away. This one dog, and he gets on that dog. Like, look what happens.
Oh, dude. Every one of them just acts right.
It’s like John Wick of dogs.
Look at this. The dog just lays down, and he just gets on top of him.
I once saw this dog kill one of us with a pencil.
I have no idea what kind of dog that is.
I don’t know either. The the black one, it’s gotta be
The one that’s dominant. Right ai? I meh, I oh, the black one was cowering. That was ai like the wrong dog. Corso, I believe.
Well, why don’t you take a photo of that dog and run it through Google image?
The dog looks like Benji. Like, they probably just knew
Yeah. Like, it’s probably just knew they knew it had a hard life.
My friend has a dog like that that’s a a small it’s a darker ai a gray and brown dog. Uh-huh. And he takes it pig hunting, and it’s the most savage fucking dog I’ve ever seen in my life.
Yes. This dog just chases pigs. Which are It’s crazy. And pigs are tough. Oh, yeah. But this dog is just nuts, man. Dude, that’s fine. What kind of dog is that? Come on, Chuck GPT. A mixed or bryden or a mutt. Based on appearance, shaggy, wiry coat, body structure. How crazy is AI?
Wolfhound or terrier mixes, large size and sturdy build might also suggest some vatsal Asian shepherd or Vatsal ancestry, especially if the dog is used as ai guardian. However, without a clear look and more context ai the dog sai, weight, or behavior, it’s difficult to definitively identify the breed.
It’s likely a mix of working or guardian breeds common in rural or semi rural areas.
Yeah. That thing they just knew had it tough. Yeah. Because it just came and
ai give fuck. It’s not even a big dog. That’s what’s crazy. Like, yo, but that was kinda what it was like when that wolf showed up at the dog park. I’ve all the other dogs were just ai, what in the holy fuck is this?
Was it you? I think you were talking about it. Maybe it Sai don’t know. But it’s about a guy who trains wolves. And he was ai
I’ve had people on that work with wolves. You can’t really train wolves.
Yeah. Ai, but Ai think it was, like, the movie The Grey, you know, ai, taken taken with wolves or whatever. And, like, he said during it that he has to fall down as the stuntman or whatever. So the second he gets home, one of the wolves is gonna try to take his spot
So you gotta, like, grab the wolf and hold it up in the air, and, like, that’s, like, the main thing to do to get it to stop. But, like, every night, he just has to prepare himself for fighting a wolf when he gets home. Oh, Jesus. Which is crazy.
But Ai mean, they all just they’re they’re pack animals.
Yeah. So as soon as you leave Yeah. They take the dominant spot.
Yeah. You have a good day of filming and there’s just this wolf looking at you the whole car ride home saying if he’s gonna take, like, your shit once you get home.
I knew a dude who had three of those three of those wolf dogs, and he was a piece of shit. And they they got out of his yard and killed the neighbor’s sheep, and he lied about it. He’s like, no. What my dog? What my dog? Kill, like, eight sheep. Dude, yeah.
Because they just kill for fun. Yeah. Like, oh, there’s just sheep that just would commit suicide? What what what mountain lion? What did this?
Well, there’s coyotes and stuff where Not like that though. Though. No. No. No.
That ai of damage. Coyote would have a hard time taking out sheep. It would take a long time.
Yeah. But they ram small dogs.
But, like, before COVID, we’d like, in Detroit, like, the suburbs, we never had coyotes, like, it seemed, like, any of that stuff. And then after, you see them all the time. Like, I would walk out and there just be, like, a deer in my front lawn. I’m like, this is bizarre Yeah. In this part. And then yeah. Now you have ones that, like, hop fences and grab small dogs and jump away.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. They’re everywhere now. They’re in every fifth they’re in all 50 states, and then they’re they’re in every major city.
Yeah. They’re a wild animal. I mean, a really interesting animal, I should say. Obviously, they’re wild.
Because when I first saw them, they’d be crossing the street at night. I’d be coming back from a gig, and I’m like, is that a is that a dog? Should I stop? And then it’s clearly just a coyote. Yeah. And Ai never seen them up close like that ever.
I used to walk by there all the time.
That looks like what it is. That looks similar.
Bosnian broke broken haired hound called Barak. Yeah. It looks similar. Fights bears? Yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense.
That would make sense why all those dogs like this motherfucker’s not playing.
Dude, he takes down grizzlies.
He is not playing. He is a large game. Yeah. A scent hound.
Yeah. That’s what my friend’s dog looks like. And it’s a little dog and it’s a girl and she’s fucking ferocious.
And just sai Yeah. Dude, a pig and a bear.
Yeah. Pigs are ai wild pigs arya some of the most ferocious sounding animals. I remember the first time I ever went hunting pigs. We were, going down this dirt road and
right of us is like heavily wooded, ai, high ram, and they were in the grass near us. And then, they started fighting and it sounded like demons, like oars. They were just going to war, like like, maybe meh, fifteen feet from us. Yeah.
well, we couldn’t see them because of the tall ram. Like, the sound was nuts. Sai, like, this sound is insane.
This was in California. Okay. California where, oddly enough, they think most of them came from William Randolph Hearst’s estate. Because William Randolph Hearst, the same piece of shit that Yeah. You know, Orson Welles covered in the movie Rosebud, The same reason why marijuana became illegal. That guy.
William Randolph Hearst had an enormous estate, and he had wild boars Yeah. Out there on his estate. And of course, they got free. And now, Vatsal California, all that area is like San Jose, they have a giant problem with them.
Yeah. They ai shah up on people’s lawns and tear their lawns apart, and you wake up in the middle of that, just 10 wild pigs on your fucking front lawn.
Holy shit. Yeah. They attack animals then?
Oh, yeah. They kill people.
Yeah. Sai one one old lady got killed by wild pigs. What a way to go. I know. Shah. Fucking dirty filthy demons tearing your face off.
Not Not that it’s funny, but Sai mean, you just don’t expect it. Ai funny. You know? But, yeah, they’re all How did grandma go? You’re ai, oh, she was torn to death by pigs, wild ones, in her suburb.
Well, this place that I was at hold a sec. They, you know, they they hunt them a lot, and that’s what we’re doing. They taste good. Yeah. I would imagine. I mean, it is pork. Yeah. It’s a different kind of pork. It’s like a darker meat.
Oh, really? Interesting. Yeah. I’ve never had it.
Yeah. Because they’re, you know, they’re not eating just grain. They’re eating whatever the fuck they find and a lot of acorns. So there was a lot of it. They had a lot of fat
That’s from acorns. They were delicious.
What do you hunt them with?
That time it was a rifle, but I bow hunted them too. I was
wondering if you did. Yeah.
Yeah. Bow hunted pigs. But the thing is, like, if you’re bow hunting pigs and you’re shooting a wild boar, like a big boar, probably should have a backup. Probably should have a pistol.
And you should probably have one in the chamber. Sai as it’s running at you, you could just you you’re gonna have to it’ll charge you. Happens all the time.
So it’s kind of because bears are like shah. Aren’t they? Like, if you shoot one in the heart, it’ll go a 100 yards?
It it it if you shoot them in the heart, I doubt they’re gonna go a 100 yards, but they might be able to because they can get they can go a 100 yards pretty fast.
Just on on adrenaline. Yeah.
are They’re gonna say adrenochrome.
If you hit a bear, like, there is a distance between you and them, where it’s like a fight or flight distance, where they’re too close, where they think that you’ll attack them, and so then then you’re in trouble. Yeah. But if they’re far enough away where they think, oh, this ai not gonna chase me, and you could scare them off, that can happen. Bears are tricky.
Yeah. I’ve never. Well, we had one bear. Well, I mean, it it wasn’t hunting us. We were just up in, what do you call them? The Smokies? Uh-huh. And it was just a vacation, and it says don’t throw food off the balcony. So, of course, the first thing my son does is throw a hamburger.
And then all we can hear is the woods start moving. Yeah. And we look down, and I’m like, there’s a bear. And it’s it I didn’t know they climb. Uh-huh. So the thing starts climbing up the side of the house, and eventually, we just kinda made enough noise or something that it went back into the woods.
But I’m, like, looking around like, we have a gun. Right? And Sai was like, I think we have one. Like, oh, it’s good because there’s a bear climbing up the fucking house, dude. It was terrifying.
Yeah. If you have food left out, if you have garbage left out, once they’ve established that that’s a place where they get food, they keep coming back.
That’s what I was yeah. And Yeah. First thing he did was just chuck a hamburger out to feed the animals. And I’m like, buddy, I told you. He’s ai four or five at the time. And then, like, a couple minutes later, bear. Woah. Yeah. Yeah.
know the state that has the most bears per capita in the in the country? No. New Jersey.
Yeah. New Jersey has a crazy bear problem.
I did not know that at all.
Sai the governor of New Jersey ran on a platform of stopping the bear hunt because people hunt bears in New Jersey. Because people think of New Jersey what you think of is these high density areas ai Hoboken, Hackensack.
That’s not New Jersey. No. New Jersey is mostly rural.
And then you have those actual ai mountains. Uh-huh.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, a kid got killed out by Rutgers, a bear ate them. Ai Rutgers University student went for ai hike. Got got taken out. And bears became such a problem that the same governor who ran on the stopping the bear hunt and did stop the bear hunt when meh get in office.
The population boomed so badly without hunters that he reinstated the bear hunt.
Yeah. He had to. The interactions between humans and bears were going through the roof.
I was really hoping that story ended with he got eaten by bears because that would be just the perfect irony.
Well, he probably had an encounter. A lot of people that live anywhere near them have encounters. Like, there’s a video of Far Rockaway, New Jersey. We played it many times on this podcast, but we’ll play it again just for you.
But there’s these fucking bears. They look like four, five hundred pound bears and they’re fighting in the middle of a suburb. And they they they’re essentially they’re going to war for garbage. Sai, like, you know, they they claim either that or maybe one of the females is in heat, but there’s these two fucking huge bears.
And they’re falling downstairs and they’re out in the street. And the people are filming them from their car. I mean, these are big bears, man.
Right. Are they, brown ai, black bears?
They’re all black bears Yeah. In The United States until you get into the Upper Northwest. And then you see
You get in in you only get grizzlies in, ai, Sai so look at these bears.
Yeah, bro. Fucking normal house suburbs.
Just a couple bears saloni the road.
Ai out there. Look at the size of these fuckers, dude. They knocked over the sign there, whatever that was. That was a light, I guess. Look, the electrical cords.
Bro, they it spills out into the street. These guys go to war for, like, ten fucking minutes. How long is this video? Six minute video. Look at this. They get out they show them meh that when they’re out in the street. So people are filming them. These fuckers tumble down the side of the hill.
They’re still duking it out.
Ai seen them come down the street in Yeah. In the same, yeah, same place.
The size of these guys, man. Look at that. Right by the mailbox. Look at all the hair.
Oh, yeah. They’re pulling each other’s hair. Out. That’s crazy. Well, dude, that’s just because they’re claws on accident.
Imagine that goes across your face or skin. You’re done.
You’re so dead. Those are big bears too, man.
Dude, that ai so nervous about his Volvo. It’s like, come on. Don’t don’t go near a guy.
Well, these people are so used to it. These people who live in this area strobe.
Yeah. You’re right. Dude, dude in the car just was like, alright. We gotta wait for it to Yeah. Fall into the shrubs, and then I’m gonna gun it.
Look at those noises they make. Dry. Can you imagine your little kids walking home from school?
And sai two fucking huge bears.
Yeah. Far look. You hear the cars? Yeah. Yeah. Look. Car’s driving meh oh, hi, guys.
I’m gonna go get a sandwich. Yeah.
You know we have bears now.
Holy shit. Yeah. Dude, yeah. That’s
Does not have the most black bears per capita.
Oh, I thought it did. I kept googling it. It’s not even popping up in the top five or six. I would imagine for a
small arya. Makes its high bear population a significant concern for residents, particularly in The States. Dude, Ted Nugent told me that. I I think these people are wrong. The state’s forest covered Northwestern regions of one of the highest concentrations of black bears in the nation with approximately 3,000 bears.
Dude, if Ted Nugent told you that, I think he’s right. Yeah. The guy knows a thing or two.
High population density, concentration in the Northwest, increased sightings. The the the other problem is they really don’t have an accurate number.
Because in heavily wooded arya, when you wanna do, like a census on animals, You’re sending out wildlife biologists, and they just have to count them. And there’s no way they can really count them correctly because there’s you’re dealing with dense woods. And black bears are particularly difficult to find in the woods.
They their their sense of smell is insane. Their hearing is insane. And when they hear people, they just get the fuck out of there.
Yeah. Like, in Michigan, you’ve seen them. Like, they come down because, you know, we’re up by the, Upper Peninsula, and they’ll come, you know, Canada and all that stuff. But, you do see them on occasion, but Ai guess they are becoming more and more like, they’re moving more and more south towards the cities now.
Of course. Because nobody’s hunting them.
Yeah. Which I think we should.
Yeah. You have to hunt them.
Yeah. I mean, it’s why you control the deer population.
Yeah. It’s ai that’s what people have always known. And, you know, somehow or another, liberals lost their minds and thought it’s a bad idea to control predators. Yeah. Well Massive, huge predators. Right.
And it’s like, you realize that, like, let’s just say the deer is alone. If you don’t control it, you’re you just have people smashing into them with their cars
all day. They’re made out of food. Right.
They’re for you to eat. Yeah.
You just you could go eat them. Deers are delicious.
And if you’ve ever been in front of, like, one with horns, like, I was in the Rockies. My friend was all high. He gets out of the car. It’s, like, twenty years ago, and there’s, like I don’t know. It wasn’t maybe it was a deer, but, like, an elk or something.
Probably had to be an elk. Yeah. Was it big?
Yeah. Really big. Yeah. And he gets out, ai, he’s like, I wanna stand by and take a picture. I’m like, I don’t think you should do that. And even then, I’m like, terrible idea. And the thing just lowers its horns at him. And I’m like, dude, get get back to the car. And we’re ai in a jeep gunning it away from this thing chasing us.
There’s a guy that is, in his car and he’s talking shit to this elk that’s in the in the street in Yellowstone and it fucking jabs his ai. It takes his tire out. Just it doesn’t even know it’s It’s like ai. You hear because it punctures his tire.
Dude, it just Yeah. It just took him out the way a cop’s would with, like, a trolley trip. That’s true. Yeah. Just getting ready to take you out.
He just stabbed his tire.
It’s like you wanna step outside now?
The scariest ones are moose. If you have what’s that? Oh, the hell?
Is that you have the video of him taking out his car? Yeah. What’s this? Ai, boy. Look at the size of that fucker.
Dude, you have a tree growing out of your head. A sharpened tree. Yeah. Is it looking for the tire? Ai don’t know. It’s looking ai to poke it.
I don’t know if this is the one that, cut the tire. The other one was coming from the other side. It was coming from the driver’s sai, and the driver was talking shit to it. But you get the point.
I ai the driver was mocking an animal.
But the real dangerous ones are moose. Yeah. Because moose will actually stomp you.
they’ll they will go after you.
There’s a lot of videos of people who think they’re majestic and they’re, like, eight feet away from ram. And it’s, like, it’s not Bullwinkle. It’s an animal in the and then the next thing you hear is how they were killed.
Yeah. It’s not just that. It’s an animal that’s, like, really good at stomping at oh, boy. Does this this guy get attacked? I don’t
know. It’s just it’s ai sometimes you just don’t. Dude, if I meh an arrow, you gotta you really gotta not miss.
Yeah. Well, this is rough too because he’s coming straight at you, and so you don’t have a really good shot at his vitals. So you have to take the most risky shot, which is you’d you’re taking a frontal. So what you’re essentially, you have a very small area you’re targeting, which is ai the end of his beard. Yeah.
So his hair comes down, like, you wanna get it right here. So what you’re trying to do is shoot this arrow through basically, like, a softball sized hole, maybe a little larger than a softball sized hole, and it’ll go straight through, ai through the heart, the lungs, everything.
It’s a most deadly shot if you could land it.
But you got a eighteen hundred pound animal
Coming at you. It’s fucking You’re shaking.
It’s huge. You’re right in front of it. It’s 30 yards. You’re not sure that you could hit that spot because your arms are shaking. You’re you’re filled with adrenaline.
And you have to go for a softball ai spot on that thing.
You really want it to be standing sideways, but it’s not standing sideways because it’s moving towards you in an offensive way. You should probably just get the fuck out of there.
Yeah. I would leave immediately.
wanna get, like, where a tree is sai you could stand behind the tree and, like, at least you can kinda maneuver a little bit. Is there ai poor? Oh, yeah. They don’t have a good site.
So that’s kinda like the better way is to kinda cover it.
They’re ai of dumb. Yeah. Because they’re so big, they don’t have to be smart. Yeah. You know? And they don’t they don’t have herds. They’re not ai you don’t see herds of moose. You see a bull moose, they’re generally by themselves or maybe with one or two other ones.
Oh, okay. Yeah. See, I did not know that.
And then they come in, and when they come in, they’re looking for pussy.
Eyes that this one’s staring at.
You have a moose fucking you in the ass?
Yeah. Staring right at you, dog.
Oh, dude. End with those eyes. Lustful eyes.
You also you better have a fucking powerful bow. You gotta get into that rib cage. Those ribs are thick as shit.
So that spot is underneath that, like, beard and all that stuff that he’s got right there?
It’s right. Like all But if you hit an animal there, they die so quick. Really? Sai, Google, frontal shot kill on elk. There’s a famous video of these kids bow hunting. And this elk comes in and it gives his kid a frontal shot and he takes it at ai 20 yards and the elk just stands there and then blood starts spraying out of it and it just tips over.
Like right where it stands. It’s it’s nuts. It’s the most lethal shot if you land it correctly, but it’s it’s Ai never taken it. It’s a tricky shot. Ai, my friend, Cam Haines, probably best bow hunter in the world.
He’s taking frontal shots, but the last time he took one, it was like at 10 yards.
This isn’t it. This is, this is not a frontal. These are just bills fighting. Google this is an elk. Oh, insane frontal shot. Okay. Ai. So here we go. This isn’t the one. Ai don’t know.
Nothing came well, nothing came up when I checked the thing you just said.
Ai So that’s it. He got it right there. So see see how it sprays? That was perfect shot.
He got it right. If you watch where the impact is, oh, that’s Corey Jacobson. Ai watch where the impact of the arrow is? It’s right at the bottom of the beard. See where it is? Like, right at the bottom Yeah. Perfect. It’s a perfect shot.
So that goes into the body cavity, severs all the arteries.
That bull’s dead in seconds.
But this animal seems kinda like That’s crazy. Yeah. This it doesn’t seem as aggressive though as that moose.
No. No. No. No. No. They’re not aggressive. They’re looking for other elk. Okay. He’s looking for love. Yeah. That’s what he’s looking for. Looking for love or a fight. Okay.
Yeah. Because the moose looks like he just wants to kill the guy in the video or at least Oh, they do. Attack him. Right?
They’ll kill you. They they will kill you. I mean, I’m sure elk have killed people before, but they don’t want to.
A moose will chase you. Yeah. Moose would chase you and stomp you, especially a female moose that has her her babies. That’s not good. Yeah. You better stay the fuck away from her.
They will stomp you out. My buddy was chased on horseback. He barely got away ram, a cow moose.
Seriously, going after him?
Yeah. Going after him because it had the calves with him with her. Yeah. And she was protecting her calves, and he was on a horse. And she looks at that horse ai that’s that might be an animal. Right. It wants to stomp my babies. And so she full clip chased after him. He’s like, I barely got away. Where was this at? Edmonton.
Okay. Yeah. BC. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. That’s crazy. Ai, I I don’t know. I would I’d be terrified if I had to try to make that shot vatsal moose coming at me that sai.
It’s a sketchy shot. Capacity. It’s a sketchy shah, and it depends on what kind of broad head you have too.
Can you do it with a gun?
Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, with a gun, you could shoot them anywhere.
Yeah. I guess that’s true.
With a gun, you just you go through the shoulders.
I just don’t know if it was, like, maybe arrow length or the reason it sticks in or something maybe.
No. No. No. No. No. You should you could definitely do that with a gun. The thing about, an arrow is you only have so much energy, like, from a bow. So if, like, you hit one of those big shoulder bones, like, you’re you’re fucked. It’s not gonna kill the animal. Yeah. Probably barely gonna feel it.
It’s just gonna So you have to be behind the shoulder. You have to and then you, you know, if you don’t have enough power, if you center punch a rib, probably not gonna get a lot of penetration. So you have to have a really powerful bow and a lot of guys stay away from mechanical broadheads. They sana like a really solid fixed blade broadhead.
It’s tricky ai of bow hunting.
Yeah. That’s cool though.
You’re bow hunting something that can kill you.
Yeah. Which is ai game. I mean, that’s an exciting thing.
That’s why people like bear hunting.
Yeah. Unless you’re the grizzly man guy who just it is one of my favorite movies ever. Because it’s just
I’m convinced Werner Herzog Werner Herzog made that movie as a comedy.
Oh, I think he did too. Yeah. I’m surprised like, he says the ending is not the real footage.
No. There’s no there’s no actual audio footage of that guy that’s available. If you listen online footage that says it is is not real, you can kinda tell they’re acting. He he told the lady to destroy the actual audio.
That’s what I heard. Yeah.
The lens cover was on the camera, but it there is audio. And it it’s a long audio because bears don’t kill you. They just start eating.
Yeah. They just hold you down and eat you until tyler till you die.
Which is apparent to that guy who was going around elementary schools telling people how bears aren’t dangerous. Yeah. That fucking guy. And then they’re like, it’s hibernation season. You should go. And he’s like, no. But I got peanut and sprinkles and cocoa, and they all love me. He had all these little names for him.
Oh, yeah. I mean, you can’t just hang out there with it was that whole movie is just they said ai, I love when they’re like, we think he they think the bear like, the bears just thought he was basically retarded Pete.
Remember when the, the sheriff said that? Yeah. He’s like Well, I thought he was retarded.
just the way the the film is made. It’s just too there’s too many times where someone says something ridiculous and there’s a smash cut. I’m ai, this guy’s doing this on purpose. Like, he wants you to laugh. It’s funny.
It’s gotta be because he’s, like, slapping a bear on the nose, and he’s like, no Skittles, and then just turning around and doing the interview. Yeah. And you’re just waiting for him to die, basically. I have
to be a warrior. I have to I have to let them know Sai stand my ground. I love you. I love you.
Ai just gonna put my tent here. This is gonna be what you’ll consider a plate, and I’m just gonna hang up. It’s a burrito. There’s meat inside.
His girlfriend got killed too, which is really sad.
I’m surprised that yeah. She She had a girlfriend? One, he had one. And two, she was ai She’s probably surprised too. Yeah. Oh.
Is this guy gonna fuck me?
Or is Is this yeah. Like, I What’s happening? I’m sure he didn’t fuck her. He didn’t seem like that kind of guy. He definitely had
her killed. He definitely seemed gay. Yeah. Fair. It seemed like that was part of his dilemma. Like, he wanted to be an actor, and that didn’t work out for him. So he started getting notoriety by being a bear expert. Right. But he wasn’t really a bear expert. Expert.
No. He was just an idiot who would go into the forest.
I mean, you’re protecting these bears.
Ai service won’t protect them, you motherfuckers. I’m protecting these bears.
But that dude got some amazing footage. I’ll tell you that. His footage was fucking incredible because he was living with them.
So he got footage that nobody else was getting, ai, high resolution close-up footage of bear fights. He He became really good friends with a fox. Yeah. Foxes are fucking adorable. They’re like dogs, man. Yeah. They are the closest thing to like, playful. They play with you. They stole his hat. Like Yeah.
They they would come hang out with him. He could scratch their head.
Well, a lot of the people who find baby foxes and then just kinda raise them because their parents left them, that’s amazing.
There’s a a Instagram page that I follow, bedu the fox. Check this out. It’s like a little tiny fox that this guy’s raised. Yeah. And it’s so adorable. It’s so adorable. It’s such a this is a It really is cool to see. So this guy brings this fox with him ever.
Look at that cute little fox. He’s so cute. Yeah. They’re adorable.
But he ai stuff. He’s playful. Yeah. But this this guy has this fox as a pet and, you know, and to see show the the things where he’s, like, cuddling with it. Like, he’s look at it.
Yeah. It’s just a straight up dog. His little buddy. Yeah.
They’re adore it’s like an adorable little dog.
The raccoon ones are ai funny too when it just, like, learns how to open the fridge ai it off.
But he has to put it on a leash because the fucker won’t come back.
No. He’s like, no. I’m free. Yeah. He’s like, this is where I belong. Yeah. He’s just trying to run from the guy, but he’s on a leash. Huge face. Oh. You have the huge ears.
Incredible. That thing probably hears an owl farting a mile away. Like, look at his face. So fucking cute, man.
Yeah. They really are. They’re really cool animals. Yeah.
And and people have done this where they raise them, but Yeah. I think it’s at least makes weird faces. Yeah. Just I think it’s one of those things where you have to be around them all the time,
you know. Yeah. I think if it’s I guess, I don’t know. But if it’s abandoned young enough to where it’s attached to you, there’s something
there. Yeah. No. You definitely can raise them. People have raised them. But, and people have raised coyotes that same way too.
But you you have to be around them all the time because they’re wild. Yeah. Like, you’re just tricking them into, like, by constantly giving them food and attention, so they feel ai they don’t have to do anything else that they really feel instinctual about doing, ai, going out and killing a cat.
Oh, yeah. Well, there’s a there’s a place called Oswald Bear Ram.
Oh, look, he’s got a cat. This cute little fox is ai half the size of the cat. He wants to play with the cat. It’s adorable. The cat is not ai upset happy though.
see a cat with its tail like that, that’s a really pissed off cat.
Well, the cat doesn’t wanna play with its owner, let alone whatever that thing is.
Well, the cat looks like it’s unauthorized. Yeah. It is. Cat’s fat as fuck.
Yeah. It was actually, male cat does not identify that way anymore.
Ai cat’s a cool shooter. It’s gonna go to the pound, shoot it up.
Just Just gonna take out everybody at the pet store? Yeah. Just one after the other. The story of
wolves, ai, how we turn wolves into dogs is pretty fucking insane.
It is amazing how we do just kind of have these, like, wolves in our house, but we made them cuter by design Oh, okay. Over centuries. We’re like, this is my, my wolf poodle, which is essentially what it is. Yeah. It’s incredible.
Well and then you get them down to, like, I have a a King Charles spaniel.
know what those things are? Yep. He’s that big. Yeah. He’s the fucking cutest thing on Earth. Yeah. That if you go far enough back, that’s sai wolf. Oh, yeah. Ai have How did they do that? I have
a King Charles’ vatsal poodle.
And his name is As if a King
Charles Spaniel wasn’t gay enough.
Exactly. I had to make sure. He wears bow ai, you know, like a wolf would. Bow ties.
He’s never gonna get his haircut, they put him in a bow tie.
And I’m just like, it’s so cute, but it’s also the case. Oh,
But, yeah, his name is Higgins, and he’s the best dog. But he’s small, and I’ve always had big dogs, and I kinda just like the fact that he’s kinda small and just really wants to sit there.
He’ll go for a walk, but he’s not dying to.
The breed the furthest removed physically characteristic by wolves is the King Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Yeah. Mine’s mine’s called the Cavapoo.
Yeah. I have a mix of that and a poodle.
The Cavalier King King Charles Spaniel, one of the most popular breeds in UK and US probably because of their lapdog reputation. Yeah.
That’s the furthest removed physically and characteristically from a wolf.
Yeah. It has I mean, he’s he’s funny. Like, he’ll grab his toy. He’s got this lamb, and he’ll just, like, jump in the window with giant dogs and just start shaking it and, like, try to intimidate them.
And I’m like, you’re you’re in a fucking little bow tie. You look so gay.
He’s always trying to play with them. Because ai my dog loves to play with Marshall. My bryden Dude, it’s very, like, best friends.
Yeah. He’s very playful. Yeah. Yeah. Because we have a wait. I’m just gonna announce all the the more dogs that I have and feel, worse as this goes. A Havanese. What’s that? It’s ai a little it we don’t have the long haircut on it, but you know those long hair, like, almost show dogs?
And it’s, it yeah. Just a Havanese pew. Yeah. Oh, wow. But we have see the, like, top right corner? She looks like that. So that’s the other dog. And she’s the best, and she she’s insane. Like look
Yeah. Not the smartest dog you’ll ever meet and that’s one of the things I love about her.
Well, they don’t have to be smart. No. You know? It’s like rich kids on trust funds. They’re not so fucking smart either.
Yeah. They are the most privileged of the dog community. Yeah. Yeah. There’s no doubt about it.
Most likely to be a theythem. Yes. That’s all the theythems. They’re not poor kids.
No. Well, we’re the ones cutting off their balls and spaying them.
Right? They’re all trans.
Yeah. They’re all a little angry at us. Mhmm.
My dogs have their balls.
Always. Yeah. I don’t I don’t fix my ai.
So we had already had them fixed when we got them.
I had a really good vet when I first moved to LA, and I always thought you have to fix dogs.
Because they’re ai, Bob Barker. Spaying new to your pets,
the end of every show. Yep. Turn your pets trans. How about just don’t be a irresponsible dog owner and let your dog have puppies that nobody wants. How about you just be a responsible dog owner and let your dog have its natural fucking hormones?
Because when you cut their balls off, they get tired. They get depressed. They have no energy.
Testosterone. There’s testosterone. Yeah. Gone.
What happens to people when their testosterone grows? You get depressed.
get depressed. You have no energy. That’s the same shit that happens to your dog.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that’s why he’s in a bow tie.
And my vet was he told me that. I was like, I can’t believe it. He goes, look, nobody wants to hear it. Everybody wants to tell you spay and neuter your dogs. But characteristically, ai, if you if you look at, like, how a dog behaves, I see a change the moment they cut. Now, look, if you have an overly aggressive dog, that’s a different story. If you have a dog that, like, you you probably should train, that’s probably what it is.
Probably needs obedience training and probably needs a lot of attention and probably needs a lot of exercise. But if you cut your dog’s balls off, it won’t be the same dog.
No. And Ai mean, the next dogs I have, I probably won’t, you know, but it’s just something that you’re used to for so long. And, like, with Bob Barker, I get control of the pet population, so there’s not dogs running all over the streets that have to be euthanized all the time. Yeah.
That’s terrible. If it’s your own dog, though.
But again, that’s just bad dog owners.
Yeah. That’s what I mean.
Like It’s just but, like, people have are bad parents and their kids wind up, you know, joining a gang and shooting people up. It’s like it’s a lot of the same kind of shit, man. So
It’s the same it’s literally the same thing. I mean, when you Yeah. Like, years ago, they were doing articles, not to bring it back to my hometown, but, like, in Detroit where you would see dog gangs roving together. They take over a house and, like, you know, they I remember one house was, like, filled with pit bulls and stuff, but it was a black lab that was, like, the king shah at this house.
Really? Yeah. It was crazy. And but you see smartest one. Ai think that it must have been that.
Because, like, when, like, Rolling Stone, I think it was, showed up and they were like, holy shit. It’s a black lab that’s in charge of, like, all these pit bulls and that was, like, their king. And, but to see Well,
probably they’re good hunters. Maybe that’s what it is. Well, because you do see Labradors are hunting dogs.
Yeah. Well, that’s true. Because, like, we would see just packs of dogs going down the street when it was at its most, like, empty.
God. I heard about a lady that got killed by a pack of dogs in Georgia a few years back.
Yeah. Wild dogs. She was hiking and feral dogs attacked her.
Yeah. Oh. And that’s It’s
Because there was probably a minute where she’s like, oh, dogs. I doubt it. Yeah. I doubt it. Now most people do get scared.
Yeah. Well, especially if you’re on, like, a mountain.
If you don’t know the dog, like, you it could be anything.
Yeah. Never go up to a dog the way that people tell you that you should.
Put your hand out. Yep. I’m your friend.
Alright. Ai. I’m your buddy. It’s like just stand there.
Stand your ground. Yeah. Look at it. Keep an ai, and hopefully have a gun. Yeah. Hopefully, have a gun.
I just shot your doodle. I overreacted. But, yeah, there’s those ones you can’t. That’s a problem too.
But, yeah, when you just stand there and kinda let the dog smell you, that’s what they do. That’s they just wanna get to know who you arya, so let them and just kinda yeah. Keep an eye. Don’t act scared. What you shouldn’t do is run and start screaming.
Yeah. No. They like that.
Yeah. They they It’s fun. They think it’s a play. Yeah.
They’re a time to play. They’re gonna kill you and have fun. Yeah. Yay. Ai this we got a screamer. Bryden. As if there’s not enough problems in the world, you gotta worry about roving packs of wild dogs taking folks out.
And bears fighting in your cul de sac. Yeah. You don’t see that They’re
trying to bring bears back to certain states now. They’re trying to reintroduce grizzly bears, these fucking dorks.
Why do they reintroduce animals that went extinct in an area for a reason?
That’s why they did. Go extinct. They were made extinct.
Right? Like, California California has a grizzly bear on its flag. Right. But the there’s no grizzlies in California because they killed them all because they were killing all these people.
The last guy that got killed, in California by ai grizzly bear, they actually named a town after
It’s named after that. It was murdered by a
grizzly His name was Steven Leveque. Yeah. He was the last man in California to be killed by a grizzly bear before they killed them all.
Are they trying to bring them back to California? Yeah.
Look, they brought wolves back to Detroit. They brought wolves excuse meh, Detroit, Colorado.
Yeah. They did. They brought wolves
to an area of Colorado that’s right outside of Aspen, and people are losing their fucking minds. Yeah. Because they brought these wolves that they had captured in Oregon because they’re killing vatsal. Yeah. And then they reintroduced them to Colorado where they
for it, kill cattle. They’ve been killing cattle like crazy. They they brought them out to, like, these ranching areas. And they’re they’ve killed so many cows out there, man. I have a buddy who has a ranch out there. He sends me pictures all the time of these cows that they find just torn apart. Yeah. Like baby cows.
Calves just ripped to shreds. Oh.
Yeah. Well, they did the same I wanna say it was, like, near Dollywood. Didn’t they do that too where, like, wolves had finally gone away in that area in the Ai Dollywood? It’s near, it’s in Tennessee near There’s wolves in Tennessee? I think they tried to reintroduce him because I
Like, I took a tour through the forest. Like, I had to go. I didn’t wanna go. It wasn’t my thing, believe it or not. But I I went we went as, like, a family trip, and, you know, I it’s it’s terrible. And somebody recognized me, and that was the worst. I guess, it was like a fake Dolly Parton show. Oh, boy. Are you Dave Landau? And I’m like, oh, fuck. Really? Now?
So but we went through the forest, and, they were saying that they were reintroducing animals into that area. And it’s like, why would you do that? And they I guess they had just taken down, like, a Krispy Kreme because, like, bears just destroyed it.
Well, that wouldn’t be reintroduction. That area of the bears have always been there.
But, if they’re reintroducing a wolf, it has to be the red wolf.
The red wolf is endangered and it’s a small wolf. It’s a wolf that’s, like, maybe the size of a large coyote.
Red wolves are returning to the Smoky Mountains.
Yeah. But it’s ai that that photo is a little deceptive. When you see a red wolf, they’re pretty small. Like, what is the average size of a red wolf? Google that, Jamie.
Yeah. Ai, that picture of the bear walking, we saw that a lot just walking down, like, while we were there.
Oh, you’re gonna see a lot of bears.
Yeah. They’d be ai tumbling like cubs and stuff for down this down the road.
That’s ai a red wolf is probably, you know, it’s a 50 pound animal.
Sai They’re not they’re not a gray wolf.
wolves are fucking scary.
Yeah. I would not wanna go I don’t know. That’s sai scary animal. Anytime I’ve seen one, they just don’t look friendly and I don’t.
Well, I mean, they killed them off for a reason. The reason why I mean, look, Little Red Riding Hood, fucking there’s always stories with kids where they get eaten by wolves because wolves eat kids.
Well, yeah. It was a way to scare the kids into being aware of what was going on. It was
Bro, do you know the World War one story? No. Okay. World War one, the Germans and the Russians had a ai because so many of them were getting killed by wolves. They made an agreement to have a ceasefire and kill the wolves and then go back to fighting. Seriously? Yeah. Because they were in trench warfare.
So they’re in Russia, and Russia has big wolves.
So what happens with animals, with warm blooded animals, is the further north the animal goes, the larger its body ai is.
And they think it’s to retain heat. So if you look like a deer in, like, let’s say, a white tailed deer. A white tailed deer that you see in Texas is a small deer.
Like, if I see a white tailed deer general like, I see them all the time on on my way to work. Ai tailed deer might a female might be, like, fifty, sixty pounds. A male might be a hundred, hundred and twenty pounds.
In Saskatchewan, you might get a 300 pound white tail.
They’re way bigger. Yeah. Way bigger.
mess. Wolves are the same thing. They’re bigger up there. They’re bigger animals up there. Like, bears are bigger. Polar bears are huge.
Polar bears are and they’re nasty.
Yeah. They have to retain heat. Yeah. Sai, like, when when you go to, like, northern kind of climates, when you’re dealing with an animal in northern climates, that’s gonna be a bigger version of that animal. So if you see a wolf ai, like, Alberta Yeah. That’s gonna be a bigger wolf than a wolf that you’d see in Mexico. Those are smaller wolves. Right.
Because they don’t have to survive in the same elements.
Exactly. They don’t Yeah. It’s also there’s no benefit just to having a large size of your body to rate maintain heat. That’s why moose are in the most up Upper North part of the country. Yeah. They’re the largest of all the deer species.
Oh, that would make sense though. Yeah.
Yeah. Like elk or, like, larger than deer, you know, it’s ai. And then the elk that are the further north, ai, the those like Montana has some giant fucking elk. Wyoming, giant elk. And that’s the, you know
Yeah. When you get towards Canada too, a lot of that those places where it’s just cold, you get those massive animals.
Yep. Yep. Yep. And what what were we talking about that I brought that up? We’re talking about wolves?
Wolves. The one, the red wolf being brought back to Kentucky.
Yeah. So those are small because they’re in ai a warm climate.
Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. It’s just odd to me that to think that when you even hear the word wolf, like, we’re just gonna reintroduce it to this tourist area. It’s ai, it seems bad.
Well, it’s all these people that are liberals shah are, like, speak, kind people that, ai, this is Jared Polis, the governor of Colorado. He’s a nice guy. He’s a sweet guy. Yeah. He just posted some really kind, tweet the other day. I’m like, oh, seems like a good ai. But, hey, don’t bring wolves back to ranching areas.
Because like ai could have these idealistic utopic view the utopia based views of what you think a wolf would be like ai back in the wild. But no, they’re gonna they take the easiest path possible. The easiest path possible. Oh, there’s a bunch of animals that are stuck in a fenced in area that I could just hop over. I’ll just go kill one Yes. And eat it.
And that’s what they do. And so these ram these farmers now have to hire people twenty four seven to be patrolling around their animals. So it’s a they’re already operating at a very low margin. Right? If you’re a farmer and a rancher, you lose a bunch of cows. You’re fucked.
So now the state has to compensate them for depredations. Every time a wolf kills a cow, they compensate them. So it costs the state more money.
Oh, so they gotta pay for the
Yes. They have to pay for it. And then they they now they have depredation permits on some of these wolves because they’re repeat offenders. So now they’re trying to kill these wolves that they’ve spent millions and millions of dollars reintroducing to Colorado. And it’s all silly people.
It’s sai it’s what’s called ballot box biology. Yeah. Wildlife conservationists and hunters and and people that are speak time in the woods, they hate it. They hate it because it’s mostly uninformed people ai think they’re doing a good thing. Like, let’s stop trophy hunting.
Yeah. We have to stop hunters. Hunters are evil. Like, no, bitch. Bears are evil. They will fucking eat you asshole first in front of your kids. They don’t care.
Well, it’s like when they put in an insect to destroy kill an insect that’s getting out of control.
Yeah. So, like, in in Michigan, it was ai ladybugs, but all of a bryden, now there were ladybugs everywhere, and this kind could bite you. So they were some kind of beetle that was this massive problem all of a bryden. And it was to help control the fish ai problem or mayflies.
People might know them as Yeah. And they’re just because you drive down next to the water, dude, and it just it’s ai sounds like ai krispies as you drive because you’re just hitting so many of these things.
But it didn’t help that problem. It just created a horrible beetle problem.
And then there was something else going on in the lake, so they in introduced zebra mussels.
Oh, yeah. They did that out here too.
Dude, they destroyed boats. They cut up people’s feet that were swimming. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. It backfired completely. And it’s ai, so you’re just introducing this, like, poison into the air and into the water that you think is gonna benefit this.
Yeah. So they have too much vegetation on some of these lakes. So what did they do is they sterilize carp and then introduce these sterilized carp. Yeah. Sometimes they’re not sterile. And then ai they just start bryden. And then the carp basically eat all the vegetation. And so then your entire lake looks like the bottom of a swimming pool.
It’s just Gone. There’s no more ram. So the fish don’t know where to ai. So it’s, like, not as effective for them. They don’t get as big. So all the bass meh are mad because there’s no, like, habitat and
Yeah. It’s all fucked up.
And that’s happened. Yeah. With missions, we do have a lot of fishermen, bass fishermen, you know, that go out there. And you can go in into pretty small pond areas and lakes because the great lakes and still catch some stuff. But once you start messing with the habitat, it goes bad for a long time.
Oh, yeah, man. Well, look at Australia. Australia has done a terrible job of introducing invasive species to combat problem animals. Oh, yeah. And now they have feral cats that have essentially wiped out most of their ground nesting birds and all sorts of other things. Cats are the worst, man.
Little little cute little house cats.
They are the worst murderers of all the animal kingdom.
Well, and they think birds are a nice present for you. That’s the ai thing they’re gonna go after is just kill them.
Birds and rats. Yep. Yeah. And that’s why, like, the crazy cat lady thing is a real thing too because they also contain parasites. And that parasite, Toxoplasmosis is, it affects humans. It affects behavior. It makes you more impulsive, more aggressive. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah.
It’s a it’s a crazy parasite that is at one point ai, half of France had toxoplasmosis. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Because of of feral cats.
Maybe it might have been half of Paris or half of France. I don’t remember. But a large pot in in rural areas, we have a lot of, feral cats.
Okay. I don’t know if it was, like, rich areas.
Known people that have, like, outdoor cats
they’re very irrational Yes. Ram Meh. That those people those people probably have Toxo, which is why they’re behaving weird.
Yeah. That’s what’s going on. It’s ai, I guarantee if you test it, I might have it. I had a feral cat.
I I’ve I’ve never had a feral cat, but I’ve definitely had ones that would stop by the house.
I had a feral vatsal friend of mine, and her and her boyfriend rescued a bunch of kittens that were underneath this building, and she it was in Santa Monica. And she sai, do you want a kitten? He was so cute. And I ai him in, and I actually had to stay with this cat for, like, days in one of the rooms of my house.
Because, like, when I picked him up, he would purr and he’d be sweet. As soon as I put him down, he’d hiss at me and and jump and leap away. He was wild.
Like claws and everything?
It took forever Yeah. For me to just calm him down. And then after a while, I could just come up to him and pick him up. Like, when he was a full grown cat, he was totally my friend. But no one else. No one else could pet this cat. Yeah. You come over my house, he would hiss at you, like like he was ready to go to war. Right. He was he was crazy.
But I would go, no, dude. He’s he was just wild. He’s wild. And I’d pick him up, and he’d start purring. But he would purr like no other cat would purr.
Because when he knew that you just loved him and that you weren’t gonna eat him, when I’d pick him up, he just he was so happy to be held. He was so happy to be pet. But then as soon as I put him down, he would look at me sketchy and run away. He was just fucked up, man.
My grandma had that. She was crazy, though. Like, she, like, as she got older, she had, like, this old mansion. And I don’t know how she got it, but it was one of those things where, like, when you’re Catholic, you just have 87 kids. So the house was big, but now it looks huge to people.
But towards the end, she had a few cats and just she would have, like, those Tom and Jerry mouse holes in the house, like, where you would see them coming out of where the and, dude, she would keep, like she keep the spiders because they thought she thought it was part of the ecosystem.
So you’re looking up ai, I’d have to sleep there, and I’m just, like, staring at a brown recluse, like, shaking at the edge of, like, eight.
Those will fucking leave giant holes in you, man.
Dude, they will kill it. My brother got bitten by one, and his leg turned into a softball, and he had to go bad. Yeah. She was nuts, dude. Like, she had
necrotic Yeah. Where it eats away the tissue.
Dude, and it went like that. Like, he got bit. And by the time he got to the hospital, it just kept getting big. It went from, like, a golf ball to a softball to, like and they had to hit him with all this, like, anti venom. Mhmm.
It was nuts, dude. My friend Jeremy had a hole in his his thigh where he had to stuff gauze in it because it was constantly oozing.
Yeah. That’s what it is. Like, they start it starts chewing away at your skin.
Yeah. It eats. It necrosis.
Yeah. My brother’s like a scar from it, dude. It’s disgusting.
Brown recluses are dangerous, man.
But she was nuts. She had, like, a casino in her basement that she ran. She does.
It it really was when we were kids too. Like, we’re we’re dealing with, like, blackjack and playing slush. She had a casino in
Yeah. It was fun. Ai, then she was in she was a recovering elky. Like, she had beads everywhere. Like, I didn’t know what that was then.
Oh, like thirty day beads?
Yeah. And, like, so then later on, well, Ai was, like, ram Mardi Gras. She had all this stuff from Mardi Gras. So, like, later in my life, I’m like, oh, my grandma was a whore. So but I didn’t realize it until later.
This is a cat lady whore with a fucking casino in her basement.
Like a cat lady casino whore who thinks spiders are part of an ecosystem. Meh, she’s ai right. I mean, she’s not wrong. They would eat the mosquitoes. That was her thing. Meh. But you’d also have, like you’re like, I think it’s a black widow in your garage. And it’s like, meh. So don’t go near it.
And I’m like, you wanna protect your spider? Like, she was just nuts, dude. But, yeah. She was in recovery, but then she also had an entire bar where you could just make drinks. So we’re, like, six and, like, looking through, like, how to make some punny a martini. It’s so it’s so much fun.
So she kept the drinks even though she was clean?
Yeah. She was clean. Yeah. Wow. I’ve done that too myself, though. Because if people come over, I’m like, yeah. Whatever you want, man. Yeah.
Ai stopped drinking and I have a full bar at my house. Yeah. I have a I have a wine room. It’s like such a wasted room. Yeah. Just a room filled with bottles of wine that ai I’ll never drink.
Yeah. I have I have probably 10 bottles and Yeah. It’s just somebody wants one.
Yeah. Come on over. I’ll judge you.
Yeah. Like my You sit there and drink and I’ll
judge you. You’ll start acting stupid.
Well, after my, like, last DUI was, when I got it’s, like, sixteen years ago, and I had just built a bar in my basement. And it’s really ai, and I still really like it. But, like, it was probably days later I got the DUI. So I just, like, sit there, and I’ll just look at this sai, like, it could have been Was
that when you stopped drinking? Yeah.
It was my it was my thirteenth arrest. It was my,
thirteenth arrest. Yeah. What was number one?
The day I got my driver’s license.
No. Yeah. For real. What did you do?
My dad had gotten a Buick Regal, and, it was around November because they would I was born in June, but they wouldn’t let me get my driver’s license because my grades were so bad, and we’re having a family reunion. So we had everybody at the house. My dad, we thought, was doing a little better, and we all went out to eat. And I’m like, hey.
Can I borrow the car? And he’s like, yeah. So we get home, and my aunt had blocked the driveway thinking that I would probably end up taking the car and, like, her son out, who was from Arizona. And the one side of my house was the house, and then the other side was my neighbor’s lawn with a small pine tree and, like, rose bushes and stuff.
You just drove through there?
Yeah. I figured if I gingerly did it
Dude, I fucked up her lawn. We go I can only pick up my friends. We go down, eight ai to this place called Piccadilly where we’d have this guy named Spiderby, and he was fucking great. He was just, like, homeless dude who just was ai he always go, I’m Ai with a wah, and he’d do that. And then he was vatsal pervert.
He’d be ai he would seriously offer to, ai, he’d be like, I’ll jack you off too. And we’re like, we just want the beer, but we do appreciate it. Really. But thank you. So, like, he’d always be like, somebody’s gotta come in with me to pick it, and we’d be fighting if we had to get out of the car to ai walk with this guy.
So we we just bring the beer in. We’re driving around. We start giving lawn jobs. You know, like, we’d first, we did leaf pile fires because everybody would, like, rake their leaves into the street. Mhmm.
started doing those, you know, fun, good old fashioned arya. But usually, it would stop pretty quickly. Somebody would run out with, like, a garden hose and, you know Right. It totally was innocent until the one time it wasn’t. But we were driving around. We went to some parties, smoking weed, all that shit.
And, finally, I get up on this one guy’s lawn after part, and he’s got a Beemer five series. And I got my Regal, my dad’s which it had a v six turbocharge, which for a Buick, it wasn’t bad for 98. But I got on this dude’s lawn. I see him sitting in his beamer. And for some reason in my head, I’m just like, this guy is just gonna sit here and take it.
So I just start giving him a lawn job. I’m doing donuts. You can hear grass hitting his car. We get in a high speed chase with this dude. Like, dude, I meh, like, French Connection style. I hit I speak, I hit this bump, man.
Four tires went off the ground because we just felt ai the car popped to the ground. And we get we’re just going all over the city. My friends are like, let’s just pull over and beat the shit out of him. And I’m like, he could have a gun. You know?
So I finally go down this, street that is, like, a bifurcation where it just splits immediately, ai, this you have to go this way, this way, you know, and I didn’t see it. So I start breaking because I’m going at an oak tree. So I’m breaking it, and do the next thing I know, the engine drops through the front of the car. All the airbags come out.
I get cracked with an airbag, and I’m like, I’m not quite unconscious. I’m conscious just enough to see the BMW in my rear view drive away. And then as I’m being knocked out, I hear all my friends and my own cousin leave. Now here’s the kicker. We were having a family reunion.
I didn’t realize that there was a bunch of cases of beer and liquor already in the trunk and chips and stuff. Oh. So when I hit the tree, that popped open. Oh. And it looked like I drove a Super Bowl party into the fucking tree.
There was just, like, beer and pop and chips and shit going down the street. And finally, dude, I I wake up from being unconscious and I ai out of the car arya there’s a cop and my dad there.
When when I when I get up, like, Ai been that I’d dude, I got knocked out so hard by that airbag.
Because it just, like, like, all I could smell was that, like, burning talcum powder kinda meh, ai, that awful, like, I wanna say eggy almost. It was just the worst meh. But everybody else was able to run except me. So it looked like I just did it. So I get out, and I remember I look at my and my dad was not violent. He was in NAM, but he was never violent.
But I just look at him and I go, dad, I’m okay. And he goes, great. And he punched me in the face so hard that I hit the ground and was knocked out for the second time that evening. Oh, no. Dude, he cracked me harder.
He gave you a second concussion?
That night. And I wake up That’s
But Yeah. But then I wake up, and the cops got a light on me. And I swear to God, the cop goes, he’s waking up if you wanna hit him again. It’s the first thing I hear. Wow. And I’m like, you guys, Ai I’m really in a lot of pain Here, my dad, like, apologized, but he’s like, ai, like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
I had already been getting into dope and stuff, and he was getting pretty
But I got arrest number one. Do DUI, and I got six months suspended license. Wow. I went in front of a referee is what they called it for juveniles at Coleman a Young, Municipal, and they gave me six months suspended license.
Did you have to talk your way out of it?
Oh, out of being arrested?
No. My dad, I remember Sai was going to school one day and he goes, I just got the bill for the car. I was like, yeah. He goes, it’s $13,980 here. And I go, what I don’t have that money. He goes, just show people so they know how proud I am of you. I was like, thanks thanks, dad. Wow. But he was furious.
But he let it I mean, he let it go after that because we had alcoholism in our family.
Believe that you were doing donuts on this guy’s lawn right in front of him.
Oh, dude. We did so much shit we shouldn’t have done back then.
Was it just the crew you’re hanging with?
Yeah. Like, it was fun. Like, I dude, I I we all we all just ai of wanted to be thugs. It was a little sad.
Yeah. You wanna be like, you’re in the suburbs sort of. Like, my house was in the suburbs, but you’re you’re literally three minutes from the most violent part of America at the time. So you’re on the border of the East Side Of Detroit. So it’s not like you can’t hear shah, and ai know what I mean?
It’s like you’re you’re every drug in every party, you’re going down to raves and warehouses that are owned by, like, the Russian mob. Crazy shit. Oh, fuck yeah. Wow. Dude, yeah.
Oh, meh. ’17, ’18, ’16, all that. All those years, dude. Like, ai, February, huge rave culture. And then when the new mayor came in, Kwame Kilpatrick, who ended up getting, arrested and put in jail and then Trump pardoned, He started the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, so he capitalized on that.
Really? Yeah. Do you remember when Ford Focus basically or Ford put out the, Detroit Electronic Music Festival Focus? No. Dude, it was basically a car designed for people on ecstasy. Like, the whole thing with speakers. Really? Yeah. If you can find it.
And so the Detroit it was the Detroit, yeah, Electronic Music Festival Focus. And the car was just crazy sound system? Yeah. Because the car is a piece of shah. So the whole thing is just speakers. And that way they would do the ads, it was almost ai, you go into a are you on e?
Well, this car is great. It’s got huge cup holders for your water. It’s got great sun, you know. Oh, that’s hilarious.
Ai, they they were ai on it.
On it. And Hollywood did a little because that’s ai when, the movie Go came out and a lot of these movies that were almost Go. It’s with, Go is the one where they’re all trying to
Find that car first. Find that Oh, yeah.
They’re all trying to get ecstasy in it, and it’s just like, it’s like Katie Holmes and, all these other people who arya, like, some are different stars and some are and they all ai meh together in this one night, and they’re all just going to different raves and parties. Oh, I know. And the whole thing is about e. Yeah. I’m trying to think of his name. You’d know him from the store who plays a bouncer in it.
No. No. Not Vince. He’s not really an actor anymore. More of a comic. He used to work with, Shimmel or not I’m not Shimmel. God, what is his name? Blonde hair, older dude.
Yes. He plays he plays a bouncer in it.
Yeah. He’s great. I did last comic with him and he was super cool. Yeah. I’ve known Jimmy
for thirty five years. Okay. Thirty no. Thirty years? Somewhere in there? Yeah.
He’s a good dude, and he played Very good. He played a bouncer in it. Yeah.
So yeah. Ai that car? Did you find it?
Well, I found it doesn’t show I wonder how much they’ve scrubbed it, but if it’s, like, the Detroit Music Festival. Ai, 2001 article, but it’s called a Ford Focus. It’s for the electronic music festival. And the way they Ventura. Yeah. Yeah. They’ve changed it up a bit with the Ventura. But yeah.
Go with speakers. Right? Speakers interior.
It was great because you’d be walking to this music festival in heart meh. See the JBL speakers that would never be used in a Ford Focus.
Oh, that’s what they had in them?
Yeah. They had, like, this Oh, sai
they had a badass sound system.
Right. And it was just this Oh. This terrible little hatchback, you know, car that a young person could afford with a killer sound system in case you wanted to listen to Bad Boy Bill or Fat Boy Slim.
And you so you got arrested 13 times?
Yeah. So what was the number two? Number two
Minor in possession of alcohol. Oh. And then that one was like, a lot of them were MIPs, four were DUIs. And then Four? Yeah. And then I got arrested.
How are you still how’d you still have a license?
Most of it was as a minor. And then by the time I got my one as an adult, it, like, it had spanned enough to where in 2009 when I got arrested my last time and I decided to get sober, they couldn’t technically put me in prison. And I didn’t wanna go because I don’t wanna spend my days getting titty fucked by the Aryan Brotherhood. I know how I look. So I, I I got clean.
But, yeah, that one was the one that I took real seriously. So what they did was they put an alcohol tether on my leg that would monitor if I was drinking Oh. And a breathalyzer in my car. So I would, like, I’d have to blow start my car everywhere I went. You know?
friend Rob had that. It would take, like, three minutes before he could start his car.
Dude, it sucked. And now they take pictures of you and stuff, but that one it would go off as you drive. So you’re, like, driving and, like, Ai meh one time a truck was jackknifing, and then it’s ai so I’m trying to, like, dodge this truck from hitting me in the Grand Rapids snow while blowing my car sai it doesn’t stop.
Swear to god. They’re so dangerous. Ai I’m going around the country. I didn’t
know they did it while you were driving. That’s insane.
That’s so they prove you’re not drinking. So, like, every fifteen minutes, it goes off at random, but you can’t time it.
And you have to blow into it.
Yeah. That’s ai people are like, can’t you have somebody else blow? And it’s like, well, no. Because you’d be like, hey. Can I can I drink and drive? And you just sai shotgun sana let me but, yeah, you have to blow the whole time you’re driving. So that’s what sucks about it.
So you have this constant ai, and I was double jeopardy because I was a road comic. Oh. So in ai yeah. Dude, I’m going into these bars and ai and, like, hey. Do you have a phone jack I could use for a few minutes? And they’re, like, yeah. Why?
And I’m, like, Ai got this ankle monitor, and I gotta plug it in somewhere to a phone jack sai they can download to make sure I’m not drinking. So I’d be in a bar, dude.
Attached to the wall while they downloaded my alcohol bottle. Long did it take?
So it has, like, a modem? Like a Yeah. It it
it it would ai, you know? Uh-huh. So it would let you know when you were done. It
would do it through the phone lines?
Yeah. At that time. Wow. I’m sure there’s something more high-tech now. This was o nine. But you had to have a phone jack, and I’d have to call my probation officer and be ai, this is the room I’m playing. I’m in a bar. I was allowed to be in a bar, but if anybody spilled anything on me, ai to jail.
Because, like, if I had any bit of like, I had to use Tom’s everything, you know, all natural stuff because anything could have alcohol in it.
So, like, I couldn’t touch anything on a chance that on the off chance that it would set off my monitor.
That’s you know what’s really crazy? If you eat poppy seed bagels, you can get popped for heroin?
Yeah. When you take a drug test for your job.
Ain’t that nuts? Yeah. A poppy seed bagel.
a nice delicious bagel. And you you get popped for heroin.
It’s amazing because you have nothing else in your system but heroin.
Yeah. What are you doing with it? Oh, actually.
Yeah. They tell you, don’t eat poppy seeds. Any poppy seeds before you go in for a drug test. Wonder how long poppy seed bagel stays in your system?
Oh, dude. I defy I did drug test too. That sucks. I I didn’t I never did the heroin one. I didn’t eat a lot of poppy seeds, but I did buy a fake dick that they caught me with.
You had a urinator or wizzinator? Is that what they call it?
It was called a wizzinator. Yeah. Yeah. It’s sai That’s hilarious.
Because I ai They caught you with the fake dick? Yeah. How’d they catch you? It
was darker than meh. Ai not kidding. Oh, boy. Ai bought the one I thought they’d be behind me. They weren’t? No. They were right here. And Because they know about the fake dicks. Yeah. And I’m just like, I’m just gonna squeeze these balls from some some urine I bought off of a nerdy kid like r Kelly.
I got one for you. I know a guy who, to pass a steroid test. Yeah. He was clearly on steroids. He was a fighter.
He injected someone else’s urine into his bladder.
Yeah. So he got some bro ai doctor in the fucking men’s room shoving a large needle Of piss. Into his bladder. And then he pissed out somebody else’s piss.
Hats off. I mean, that’s dedication. Basketball player came back pregnant when he took his drug test.
He’s in pregnant girlfriends here and
That’s so weird. What is this?
So what are they testing him for that he’s worried about other than weed? Is it weed?
I’m guessing weed because it’s a if it was 2020 in Ohio, it was still illegal. Plus, I don’t think I don’t think you’re allowed to use it
If you’re on the team. But it was illegal then, so they were probably still which has never been, I mean, for most people.
Yeah. Yeah. International drug test. In Europe. In Ai. In Bosnia. Is that
what it was? Oh. As a naturalized player. Well, he was I wonder what they were testing him for. I wonder what drugs they were actually testing him for. What are they worried about finding?
Yeah. Because I bought what was it called? Urine Luck? That didn’t work. Steroids and stuff, you know?
I guess. But Jesus Ai, if if I’m running a professional basketball organization, I want people on steroids.
Ai want them testing anyone for anything else.
I want them recovering. I want them playing better.
The the whole steroid thing is sai weird, you know. It’s because it’s just science. They figured out a way to make humans perform ai. Like, so are we supposed to use some ai? Like, you can use creatine, which at one point in ai, they used to treat creatine like it was steroids.
Well Oh, yeah. They did In the
nineteen nineties, it was like you’re taking creatine. You’re basically taking steroids.
Well, it was because of the Mark Maguire, Jose Canseco thing.
Right. I think that was a little later. What because Wasn’t it?
I remember it was part of it because they were ai, they’re on creatine and everybody’s like, are you sure?
No. They were on androstenedione ai what Is that what I was But it wasn’t.
Yeah. He was on steroids.
Well, because He got big. Maguire went from, like, a farm boy Mhmm. To looking like one of the Looney Tunes characters from Space Ram. Like, the dude was just fucking stacked. Just a home ai.
There’s a video of Maguire hitting a a home run, and, as the bat is contacting the ball, you see the bend to the bat because he’s so strong. He’s He’s whipping the bat so hard that it’s bending in the air as it contacts the ball. And it’s See if you can find that photo. Yeah. It’s ash.
It’s like a very dense wood. Yeah. And he’s whipping it so hard. The the it has a bend like a bow, like a bow and arrow, and it’s connecting the ball, like, perfectly on the sweet spot. Look at that.
Look at the fucking amount of bend in that bat.
I think that makes no sense. On the Ai.
Well, that’s somebody else. But look at the one above it.
Oh, the one right ai, though.
That’s the Maguire one. I’m talking about. Ai
That’s it. No. Right there, Jay.
It looks like he’s doing the spoon trick.
Okay. Whoever it is. But look at it. That’s what I’m talking about.
It’s fine. Sai when a guy is swinging at full clip, that’s what happens to the bat, which is crazy.
Dude, that is completely roids.
That’s him. Oh ai god. That’s nuts. Look at that bat. It looks like it’s made out of rubber. That’s so imagine the fucking force your body has to generate to do that to one of those bats.
And meanwhile, Pete Rose never gets inducted. I know. Dude, I met him. I liked him.
I know. That didn’t make any sense. He’s just gambling. It’s didn’t didn’t hinder his play. No. I mean, the was there was some concern that maybe he bet against his team.
That’s what it was. Yeah.
him in or he’s gonna be eligible, I believe. Yeah. I figured Posthumously
Yeah. I figured, meh, that’s what they were gonna do.
Yeah. But that’s not cool. Like, he’s dead. He should’ve done it while he’s alive.
No. And he’s been around sitting in the MGM in Vegas signing shit for a long ai. Meh. He was
Meh. He was amazing. Ai mean, just because a
guy does something like that doesn’t mean he didn’t do amazing things playing, and that’s what it’s supposed to be all about. Ai guy was an all star. He’s one of the greatest of all time. He took it away from him because he likes to gamble. Yeah. Guess what? That’s also probably why he was so fucking good because he was wild.
Meh. Exactly. He was a wild boy. It’s true.
Yes. And the Who would be Jordan?
Oh, dude. Degenerate gambler.
Yeah. The greatest basketball player who ever walked the face of the fucking Earth.
Yes. And Degen like, Pete Rose’s dad wasn’t taken out.
Comes from the same place, man. It comes from the same place.
Yeah. Sai deal. Well, yeah. Because there’s a part of you that wants to do risky things if you’re willing to go that far. Yeah. You have to have that element in you. Yeah. So you kind of wanna go, like, yeah, he threw a few games with the confidence that the team would still be fine. That’s kind of amazing. If he did.
That’s a guy chasing money. He’s prob he’s probably well, that the thing they said about Jordan was that he wouldn’t pay.
Yeah. Well, that’s yeah. Yeah. Ai. There’s a lot of shady shit that happened
Well, that was that golf hustler that beat him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and then Yep. Wrote a story about it because Jordan wouldn’t pay ram. Then it kinda arya getting out, and then Jordan’s dad got murdered. That’s why. Yeah. There’s a lot there.
Yeah. Yeah. The connection with the people may have taken out his dad over gambling debts, which is rarely talking about.
You know, here’s another connection that I never considered until recently. Remember when Cosby’s kid got murdered?
to say Everybody was like, oh, it’s just a random crime. Maybe not. Right?
Sai don’t think it was now.
Well, now now that you know what Cosby did, imagine if he did that to someone’s daughter and they said, oh, well, guess what?
Because he wasn’t robbed.
They didn’t take anything. Right. He was just changing a tire. Yeah. And who knows if he even was? They could have flagged him down.
Exactly. Who knows if he even was? Yeah. Or who knows if they maybe flatten his ai?
Yeah. They know he’s gonna drive, flatten his tire, let him drive off a little bit, and he’s eventually gonna have to stop and pull over.
It it seems so random to just kill someone for fun. It’s rare. Yeah. Very rare.
And it when you know what Cosby did, it makes you go, oh, maybe there’s something there.
And now the stuff that has come out is so, dude, it’s so dark.
I heard this lady say that he might be the most prolific serial rapist in history.
I wouldn’t doubt it. Can you
imagine how insane that is? The guy who is the, you know, mister Huxtable? Dude, doctor Huxtable, head of the fucking family in the the most wholesome sitcom. Everybody loved it. Crossed the race barrier. Made everybody think of, like, this black family is, like, incredibly respectful
Right. Yeah. Right. Right.
Right. And he had a gynecology office in his basement, which he just slid past everybody on the show. He had a gynecology office? Yeah. Doctor doctor Huxtable was a gynecologist. And the he was a doctor, and in his basement is where he saw the women, and no one thought anything about it.
Well, how about the one episode that he did about Spanish Fly?
Dude, and that’s he would talk about it in
old records of Spanish Ai. Yeah. Where he’s just talking about it ai the whole audience is ai, yeah, the rape drug. That’s hilarious.
Yeah. Oh, Bill. He had a whole episode of the show about his special barbecue sauce.
Yes. Oh, and everybody started making out with each other.
And they kept rubbing each other.
Well, did you ever see the Cosby mysteries intro? No. It’s a pill going into a martini, and then it just says Cosby mysteries. Like What? Yeah. Ai I think he was more deviant than we actually ai and was leaving these, like, little, like, taunting breadcrumbs.
I had heard that he was doing that kind of stuff in the nineties when I was on news radio. Shah. Ai heard from people that knew him or people that knew of him. Yeah. Ai, that he drugs girls. I was like, what? Bill Ai?
I was like, this is this is crazier than Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Right. Like, what are you talking about?
Yeah. I heard he was like a I heard he had sex with a lot of women, and I was like, well, okay. Ai, that it’s a different thing. Yeah. Like, that’s sai you know, I’m like, whatever. So he’s not spotless, I would assume.
No. I heard about it in Hollywood. Yeah.
was that people knew it was ai an inside secret.
But then, like, when I started becoming a comic, and I was doing small stuff ai an ad like, not the the HBO Vegas festival.
This is it? Yeah. The Cosmic Mysteries?
Okay. But this is like Is this
Reflections in it? But this is,
a mystery ai someone’s drugging someone. This is a this was a show about this was like a cop show. Right?
Yeah. He came back out to
He came back out and did a cop show? Yeah. How weird.
It’s just crazy that the first thing in it though is a drink being drugged. How weird.
The cop when was that Cosby mysteries?
Oh, I think it was It says ’94. ’90 was it ’90 yeah. Mid ai?
I think it’s saloni or two. Yeah. ’94. Yeah. It didn’t last very long.
Wow. Yeah. People wanted to see him in comedies. Like, why why do you have the most loved comedy sitcom star ever?
And his his film career wasn’t great. It was, like, Ghost Dad and, you know, he did it. Yeah. It was all very I Fat Albert, there was a story, and I can’t remember if it was Fat Albert, but, what’s his name? Keenan Thompson was talking about one of the first times he met Bill Cosby, and he was like, you know, like, you’re gonna you’re gonna need two dicks for all the pussy you’re gonna get.
And he was like, what the fuck? Like, he just couldn’t believe it was, like, one of the first things Cosby had said to him. Woah. So it’s like he because you just meet that ai, and you kinda wouldn’t expect it to switch so hard, especially a guy who’s who’s been telling people not to especially after Eddie Murphy stories and all that stuff.
Like, you you know? Eddie Murphy from Raw. Yeah, dude. And he’s like, tell mister tell mister Speak that Richard Pryor said have a cock and a smile and shah the fuck up.
Yeah. Do the people laugh? Do you get paid? Yeah. Yeah. Be ready because when this movie comes out, you’re gonna need two dicks because the women are gonna be all over you.
Yeah. The sketch comedy is called. Wow. Yeah. So it was that. Wow. And imagine saying that to somebody over Fat Albert. He’s ai, are you sure with that one?
I think when he was young, that drugging people was normal. That’s what I think. I think that whole Spanish ai era where people were just giving people Mickey’s, they’re putting things in people’s drinks. I think Weyludes? I think people did that all the fucking time.
Meh. Probably. I think it
was super normal, and then I think society eventually evolved, and people ai how fucking horrible that is.
And then he kept me on. Oh. That was his move.
Especially when he got old, and ladies didn’t wanna fuck him. They wanted a career. Yeah. And they thought maybe Bill Cosby said he’s gonna help me with my acting. Next thing you know, you wake up and your panties are off. You ai, like, what happened?
And a lot of them too when you see, like, the roles they would get on The Cosby Show now, you have, like, supermodel looking women playing a cop. Mhmm. And it’s like he would have private dinners with them, you know, like, in his green ram. Just little, like, super shady shit. Boy. Yeah. So yeah.
Like, he I I guarantee you, maybe him and, who is it? Jordan, I meh him, Belfort. You’ve probably met him too. The Wolf of Wolfsburg.
Yeah. I’m thinking, like, Cosby and him may have been the last people on Earth to ever have Quaaludes. Like, one of them had
I never did Quaaludes. They were I think they were Sting’s
See, he’s older older to remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Because I’ve heard him talk about it. Yeah. But I’ve never done Quaaludes. I think they were, like, I think the last one was, like, ai.
Look at that. She’ll do things she’s never done before. Increases sexual I don’t even think it’s real.
Dude, it’s an ad for rape. Yeah. That’s real.
It says it comes from parts of a beetle. That’s what they used to say.
Whether it works or not, I would say
But that’s what I’m saying. I mean, I’m sure it’s real Oh,
As like a product, but I don’t think it there’s a thing that actually makes you horny.
Sai it would give you extra like, it’s like a pre Viagra type thing.
Yeah. But that doesn’t get you horny. Ai, viagra is it just increases blood flow.
Someone had it when I was, maybe, I don’t know, in middle school somebody had it.
Yeah. Like sai bottle of something that said Spanish fly.
Okay. Google this. It does Spanish fly work?
That’s where I was getting I Ai ended up in marketing because I Look at all the ads.
I was just love look at this love with no strings attached. It’s a flight attendant ad. Ai attendants were fucking hot back then. They would hire they would hire only hot flight attendants. They would fire you
Spanish Ai movie. So just Google this for meh. Does Spanish fly actually make you aroused?
Dude, if there’s a movie it was popular
Does it work? Oh. Oh, let’s see. Spanish fly is not an aphrodisiac. It’s a toxic substance called cartharidin. Derived from blister beetles that can cause severe harm, including pain, burning, and internal damage. There’s no evidence it increases sexual desire. Ingesting cantharidin can be vatsal.
While it causes burning sensation in the urinary tract that can provoke an erection. Yes. It is a dangerous side effect, not an aphrodisiac effect. So it gives you a boner while you’re dying.
Yeah. What would it do to women then if you’re Right. I guess knock you out and that’s why they’re like, she’s horny, bro.
Okay. So just Google this. Is there a drug that makes you horny? Just Google that.
Put it in, a chat GPT I mean perplexity or something.
MDMA, I would, you know, that But ai
but it makes you loving. Right? It makes you, like, kind and wanna hug people. I don’t think it makes you sexual. But if you were
rolling, I meh, and, like, a girl just, like, touched your knee in a way Right.
like, Sai don’t know. I’m ai, come. You know, it was just sort of it was pretty crazy. Soft dick. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what sucked. Is it didn’t it didn’t help your libido.
No universally proven aphrodisiac drug exists that reliably increases sexual desire across all individuals. The concept of an aphrodisiac, a substance that enhances libido or sexual performance, has been around for centuries, but scientific evidence is limited and often inconclusive.
So some substances are marketed as that historical cultural substances, foods like oysters. Okay. Chocolate. Okay. None of that stuff works. Meh, Viagra.
But again, these they treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow, not by increasing desire.
Yeah. No. No. No. I get it. Hormonal treatments, testosterone therapy, boost libido. Yeah. But it’s it doesn’t, like, just make you horny out of nowhere.
Yeah. I don’t think there’s anything like, what is horny goat weed at a gas station? That’s just ai poison. Right? Poison.
Yeah. Bath salts? Remember bath salts? Bath salts they used to sell at the gas station, and it was basically ai some kind of, like, horrible drug that they snuck in by saying it was not for human consumption. Yeah. But it was a bath sai, so you throw it in the bath.
And then, well, you would consume a human because you remember when the guy ate the dude’s face? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That guy in Florida. But I always feel like you gotta put that through the Florida lens. It only happened in Florida.
That’s true. If it is Florida, you’re ai, there could have been other elements
here. A lot of other elements in Florida.
There’s a whole life style that could have led to this. A lot of choices.
But Florida where that was the the place where the the pill mills really started popping off because the way Florida had it set up, they had these pain management centers. Yep. And then attached to the pain management centers, they’d have a doctor that would prescribe it for you. So the the whole thing was just to prescribe pain pills.
So you’d go excuse me. Go to the pain management center. Oh, my back hurts. Great. You need this? Go right next door.
And right next door, all they prescribed was pain pills, and they didn’t have a database. So you would go there, and then you go down the street. My back hurts. Oh, great. Here you go. And then next door. And you could just keep doing this over and over again.
And then this documentary, the OxyContin Express, showed how people were loading up the trunks of their cars with these pain pills and driving up north. And into Kentucky, into Ai, and and that’s where all these people started dying of overdoses and all people got addicted to pills.
There’s also one in Richmond, I wanna say, right outside of Richmond, a pharmaceutical company that was also largely responsible for it. Because I remember even being, working at a pharmacy and going ai, my mom was an RN, so I’d go in there. I remember the doctors or not the doctors, but, like, I remember companies taking out the doctors to eat or, like, you’d see, like, OxyContin reps or you’d sign with a pen that had a pain killer’s name on it.
Yep. All that stuff, I remember.
My wife’s mom’s a nurse, and she would tell stories about how they the pharmaceutical drug companies would take them out to nice steak dinners and treat them really ai. Yep. And just the whole thing was, like, make sure you push our shit.
It was yeah. Give our product to the people coming in.
People how great it is. How great is our product?
Dude, they used to give a lot. Like, I was getting my when I got my knee messed up, I got hooked on oxy, on Vicodin. And I had Ai had taken lots of Vicodin before, but I took a prescribed amount that was just way too many for several months in a row. And then when I came down, it was the one of the sickest times I’ve ever had to deal with. I’m, like, shaking. You know?
I’m throwing up every few minutes, and this was the allotted amount I was supposed to take. Like How long did you, Four a day for two months. And then And
how long was the, like, the before you became normal again?
Oh, god. It I felt real bad for about four to five days. Like, for me, even when I quit smoking, like, I I used to smoke three packs a day for almost, twelve years.
And but I did a lot of acid and shrooms and shah, and it was fun. You ai, like, one after the other one did. It was but it felt good. You know? So, like, yeah, I would do that. But, even that, I locked myself in a room when I was living in LA, and I just didn’t leave I didn’t leave the room for
I just tyler Just got clean. Dude, I just let my body deal with the sai, and then I left. Like so it usually takes me about that long, you know, to to really detox my system if it’s something that isn’t killer. Alcohol was hard. Alcohol was really hard because I had started shaking when I wouldn’t drink when I was 16. Oh, boy. So yeah.
got addicted to it early? Dude, very early. So it’s like a genetic thing with your family.
Big time. And I didn’t know about that until tyler, you know. And, like, my my dad had talked to me a bit before he died and, like, you know, he he died when I was 18 and but he he ai talked to me about what was going on with the family and stuff Ai hadn’t known and my uncle who I figured had died of a heroin overdose, but my mom’s like, he just had a big heart.
boy. Like, did he? Can I just know the truth? You know? And it turned out it was lines of years of addiction. Like, my dad’s dad was a a Irish guy. Left him the day he was born. Walked in, saw my dad was a twin. He had twin sister and goes, I’m not raising two and walked out. Oh, boy. So then he was the opposite dad. He was loving, coach, all that stuff.
Oh, awesome. You know, he he he turned it,
but Fucked by the government.
Oh, yeah. And then fucked by the government. He became a very he he yeah.
And then It’s crazy how that kind of addiction addiction and mental illness is just fucking hardcore genetic. And when you have a family that has a long history of mental illness, it’s very rare that you’re like, I’m fine.
Oh, yeah. It’s very rare that you’re an anomaly.
you should not maybe you’re not. Not good. Yeah. And I just know so many people that are alcoholics that who their family’s an alcoholic. Like, guys, I had a buddy that he would drink and his eyes would glaze over, and it wouldn’t be him anymore. He’d be like, oh, he’s gone.
We just gotta wait until he comes back because right now, it’s whatever the fuck happens to him when he drinks. Just crazy off the rails, like, didn’t remember anything, full blackout.
You’d have to tell him, you don’t remember being on the table with your dick out? You don’t remember?
You didn’t remember anything?
I was the guy on that side of the phone calls. Sai, I because they were ai, you need to apologize to this person.
All the time. So you didn’t remember anything?
I wouldn’t remember most. Sometimes Sai bryden out, so Ai kinda remember what we did. There was times where I actually I was at a party. Right? And then I wake up and I’m handcuffed to a a bed in a hospital getting charcoal dumped down Oh, you know. My stomach pumped. So I’m like Ai
Oh, something happened. Ai like I a but I went from, like, like, being vatsal party to just being woken up with a charcoal stomach pump. And I’m like, this isn’t good.
Do you talk about any of this stuff on stage?
Oh, I would imagine you have to. Like, what a sai ripe for material. Yeah.
I put out a book. It’s called Party One, a Fuzzy Memoir a little while ago, and it’s it’s all stories of my youth because I I was trying to get it all out. And then I had to ask people, and I I didn’t put it out for years because I wanted to be like, hey. Is it cool if I change like, talk about and everybody was, but and a couple of my friends who are my really good friends Ai had to fuck with ram, like, don’t worry.
I changed your name from Brian to Ryan sai no one knows this. A little shit like that. But but, yeah, I talk about a lot of this on stage because, dude, I got institutionalized. I got, like, beer. It was all, like, crazy.
How’d you get institutionalized?
I the story I talk about in the book is what happened the night before well, not the book, but on stage because I have to kinda sum it up. I actually did it on this is not happening, Ari shah. And, what happened was was Ai used to, like, bong pints and fifths for, like, a party trick, And I could carry around a case of beer and, you know, drink that in the ai.
And mind mind you, I’m five sai. But then, I’m in high school. I probably weighed a hundred and forty pounds, dude. Like, I was and if I wasn’t on if I wasn’t on LSD and I wasn’t on mushrooms and I wasn’t on k, I was drunk. Wow.
So I would switch it all up. And the night before, I had bonged a fifth at a party. Ai, when What
You know the beer bongs that you use that have, like, the funnel and go through? So my friend Anthony pulled out this beer bong, and my friend Nick poured an entire fifth of Absolut Vodka. And Nick’s like, dude, don’t do this.
You just drank the whole thing?
Well, they put in a cap full of Sprite, then I drank the whole thing. And, dude, I guess I I say this in the story because I this is what I was told happened. I was tab dancing. I told my girlfriend who I love that she had orangutan titties, and then and then I fell through a table. Oh. A glass table.
And then, yeah, I ended up getting taken home by the cops. I don’t know exactly what happened, but my mom ended up calling the police, which is, you know, like, she didn’t know what to do. I was doing something.
And they arrested me, and I was institutionalized for two weeks. And I I stayed with a kid who thought he was a werewolf.
So you had to go to a mental health institution?
I went to a mental health institution because they weren’t they didn’t realize it was an addiction. They just arrested me because my behavior was so erratic. Oh. And I remember getting there, and I met my and I’m not kidding. I met my roommate who was a he was a werewolf. That’s what he believed.
And I’m like, I don’t wanna I don’t wanna stay with him. And they’re like, well, he’s not really a werewolf. I’m like, yeah. I know. He’s he’s
What happens when the moon turns full?
Well, he attacked me. Oh, boy. Yeah. So and they hit you what they do is they grab a tank a tranq. It’s called booty juice. And they hit you in the butt with it, and, like, the guards will fight you off. But after two weeks, they’re like, he’s not it’s not so much that he’s got mental illness, which he does, but he’s an alcoholic. He’s a severe alcoholic.
And But you your roommate, the werewolf Yeah. He attacked you when the moon turned white?
Yeah. One night, he just started howling. And I don’t even think wolves howl.
And he was way bigger than me. You don’t think wolves howl?
What do you mean? Ai not. Werewolves.
They do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. American werewolf in London?
Oh, bark but he was barking too. And this
Patients say sedative known as booty juice injected against their will. Yeah. Growing number of children, teenagers admitted voluntarily to North Texas. For profit psychiatric hospitals told WFAA they’ve been injected with powerful sedative drugs without their parents’ knowledge. Yeah. Booty juice.
Yeah. Which I that kid deserved it. They shouldn’t have called the parents and go, hey, your wolf boy’s been fucking naked trying to eat a guy.
Was he naked when he attacked?
His clothes off because he thought he was a werewolf, dude.
Sai tell me what that was this ai.
Well, he’s jumping on top of meh, and I grabbed a lamp to hit him with it, but it was fucking glued down because it’s a mental hospital. So that just kinda made me open my arms to him. And he’s on top trying to bite me, and I’m, like, holding him back. And that’s when they came in, and they run they ran at him. They hit him with the syringe. They pulled him off me.
And I’m just sitting there ai, I wanna be here. Like, I’m I’ll never drink again. You know, like, basically crying like a bitch. Like and, you know, I I’ll never drink again was, like, my catchphrase through the holidays. So they pull him out of there, and then, you know, the and then, eventually, they they sent me off to a rehab where I spent, I think I spent forty five days there.
And I heard it’s not there anymore, which is a shame because a lot of kids do need that now. And I heard they took it down. Like, it’s no longer there. And and I went there, and and the second I got out, I didn’t drink. I didn’t drink for, like, a month.
But the second I got in my friend’s car, I hit a joint. And I’m not saying that that’s bad, but it’s like, dude, the second I I was I was they’re like, you can’t drink. Right? Ai I’m like, yeah. Like, you can smoke weed. I’m like, yeah. That would yeah. Sai I immediately hit a joint.
Oh my god, Dave. Yeah. Jesus Christ.
And that’s what my It’s kind
of amazing that you’re here.
Dude, yeah. I got a lot of shah, like
You look great, though. Thank you. But for a guy who’s gone through as much shit as you Yeah. Like three packs a day, alcohol, acid.
acid. Ai, falls through the table. Look at you ai. You fine.
You know what is interesting, though? All the drugs now because ai I told you, I was real, like, kinda depressed kid. Mhmm. And all the drugs that I did to treat depression are now used to treat depression. Mushrooms, ketamine, all that shit, dude. Right. Like, I’m I spent five years in high school when it turns out I was completely accurate with my studies of how these drugs would help me.
You were self medicating. And I was accurate with it. Yeah. Ai, dude, I would do k, and I’d just be sitting there in a k hole in class, just think the desk is moving.
And acid was the most fun to do in class because your teacher’s face is meh, and you’re just sitting there ai it’s sai much fun. Wow. But I was a I was a mess, but at the same time, so many of my friends were too. It wasn’t, like, just me.
Right. So it felt normal?
Yeah. Like, I mean, I was the worst of them and technically slowest ai I was arrested more than anybody.
You were the most fun. What did you think you were gonna do for a living back then?
The only thing I ever loved was acting and comedy.
My dad would wake me up when I was a kid to watch SNL. And, like, it wasn’t something that meh him and my brother they’d watch, like, baseball and stuff, but we’d watch SNL together. We would watch, like, old movies with, like, John Candy, Steve Meh like, all those people. And then he introduced me to stand up, and my dad bought me, he bought me Kinison, Arya.
He bought me Carlin Classic Gold on tape when I was nine
Which had seven dirty words and all that. Yeah. He bought me Dangerfield, Button Down Mind to Bob Newhart, Eddie Murphy. He showed me delirious when I was, like, eight. Wow. And I dude, I still laugh so hard because that, like, the whole bit he does about the hamburger was so relevant then.
Like, I got McDonald’s at home, and he’s like, you can’t have none. You on the welfare. And I I knew what that meant then, and I was crying laughing because I love Eddie Murphy. You know? So he introduced me to comedy, and the only thing I had any interest in was that. And and one day, Saloni City opened up in Detroit.
And I was pissing this teacher off somewhat, and she stopped me after class. And she goes, do you know what Second City is? And I go, yeah. My dad’s told me about it. It’s ai where all these SNL people came from. And she’s like, yeah.
You’re actually really funny, but you’re a fucking pain in the ass in my class. And I was like, okay.
It really was. And she goes, she goes, you should consider taking classes there. And I said Wow. Okay. So after my fifth year, the first thing I did was I listened to her and my dad, and I signed up for Saloni City. And, dude, years later, I’m doing improv on stage with this group Motor City Improv, and, like, it’s more bar prov. You’re just fucking around. You know? Right.
But, my one of the guys in the group was, hey. My wife’s gonna come too, and it was my teacher. And I got to do improv with her years later. Wow. And it was it was really cool, meh.
Because, like, she it was the first time somebody didn’t scold me. They stopped me to go, like, you genuinely have something, and you’re not just this waste. Right. And no one had ever besides my parents, but nobody else had ever said that before.
Well, that’s so cool that she was already in that world, so she understood. Yeah. Yeah. We were actually just having a conversation about that last night in the Green Ram. Not last night, night before. And we were talking about times in your life that someone could have just told you, this is behavior ai a stand up comedian. Like, that’s a real job. Yeah.
You know how you know you like fixing cars and you could be a mechanic? You know how you like talking shit? You’re funny. Everybody laughs. This is a job.
Like, just but everybody just tells you you’re a fucking loser and you’re never gonna amount to anything and get out of my class.
And that’s and Yeah. I was very lucky. Like, my parents my dad had had was just about to pass when I told him I’m I think I’m gonna do Second City and then take this film class up in Lansing, Michigan, which is what I did. I did film, and I did that, and I would go back and forth. And he was like, you should. Like, that’s what you’ve always wanted to do.
Like, I had a camera in my ai since I was a kid. Like, my parents never wanted me to have a backup plan. They were like, find something you love. Like, that’s Right. You know and and we we’re really only torn apart as a family because of what we experienced, you know, from my dad just being screwed. Yeah.
So we were if I think if I had even a more direct line, I may have gotten there sooner. You know? But I was I was angry and depressed and pissed off. Sure. You know? My Yeah. My whole attitude was fuck you. Fuck the system. Yeah.
So there when I finally found that outlet, it was wonderful, dude, especially when you’re writing sketches and watching them come to life and you’re ripping on the people that have fucked you over and, like, there’s such a good feeling about that. Yeah. And a lot of people that I met have gone on to do great things.
Like, I was in a troop with Sam Richardson who went on to do Detroiters. And, you know, I, there’s Tim Robinson, who Ai didn’t know him well or anything, but we did improv a couple ai. And it’s cool to see him, like, skyrocket with I think you should leave and all these other stuff.
And Keegan Michael Key was somebody that was out of the Detroit chapter. So there’s, like, some really cool people that ended up coming out of there.
What was the stand up scene like? Like, what was the big club?
The big club was Mark Ridley’s comedy cast.
Okay. I heard that place.
Yeah. And I started Arya was supposed to
Dude, it’s unbelievable. And he he was the guy who you wanted to do stand up in front of because he was there every night tearing tickets. Like, he was, dude, he was a part of it from the late seventies until he had a heart attack maybe around 2010. His sana, Ryan Ridley, was, the head writer of, Rick and Morty. Oh, wow. So he dude, he’s a great dude. And, you just had Mike Costa on. Yes.
Mike was in my group when I started.
He was one of the people that I started with. Wow. And then a ai named Matt Maclower, who’s he’s actually featuring for me this weekend, who’s unbelievably funny dude.
Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. He’s got Asperger’s. Adam knows them. Oh, great. And dude, he’s funny. Yeah. Yeah. If any luck, he’ll think he’s a lady. Well, he doesn’t think he’s a werewolf. But, yeah, dude, he’s he’s a beast. And, like, we had a pretty cool group when we started where we weren’t kissing each other’s ass. We were all just trying to figure it out.
So we would, like, criticize each other, and, like, we’ve all done pretty well considering, like, where people have gone off to, you know, at least in the sense of making money and making a living, you know, making making people laugh. Like and
We were lucky because there was, like, 10 different clubs in Detroit where you could go, like, okay. I’ll go do Ridley’s in the suburbs, but then I can go do a super urban room, you know, in the city, and I can get used to that audience. Then I can go to Ann Arbor, and I ai be in a bunch of in front of liberals at the showcase or at the Heidelberg project.
And then I can go you know, so you could go all over, and you could experience every kind of audience you could ever be in front of at 10 different places in a week. That’s awesome. It was really cool.
That’s awesome. Listen, dude. This sai a lot of fun.
Thank you. I really like talking to you, man.
Glad you’re alive. Yes. Listen to your stories. It’s kind of a miracle that you made it this sai, but, you’re a good dude, and it’s always fun to have you at the club. It’s been a lot of fun. Thank you. And I’m excited to see you this weekend.
I appreciate it, Joe. Thank you very much.
My pleasure, brother. Tell everybody how they could find you, all your stuff online.
You can go to davelandau.com. I have everything on there. You can check out tour dates and everything. And, also, yeah, I guess I would subscribe to my ai, Party of One, A Fuzzy Memoir. It did really well on Amazon.
And, yeah, it’s a lot of people have enjoyed it, and a lot of the stories will be much funnier to you than they were for me to live. So I
hope you enjoy it. Alright. Beautiful.
