0:00 I mean, very few people could ever imagine. How are you, Joe? My next chapter as, what's her name? Well, she said she's on to her next chapter. I'm old. She raised me right. What's the modern vernacular? It's a shout out. Every day. Every time I see Doug, I'd smoke one. No, he's doing Sober October. detox. That's what my Yeah. All week. One a day's not bad.

3:24 this madness, if you had no idea and did not didn't mean to offend you were cracking a joke about a woman It was a political tweet. And beautiful. What do you identify as? That came after my tweet. It's probably 400,000. You've said you're crazy for years. 100%. What were you doing? Giving birth? It is important. But if someone has a mental health issue and they do something erratic or they say something that's inappropriate and then they apologize for it.

8:51 Yeah. That's not what you were doing. Did you do like 23andMe or something like that? What did you say? And then after that it was disgraced comic and her offensive racist tweet. happens is they find a target and they don't care if it's a viable target. Right. it rationally and say oh here's a woman that has a history of mental health problems. You just don't get them.

12:45 what they were thinking like as even as a kid i'd be like you know but i try to fit in they go let's Yeah, Skipper, she has little tiny tits. be from um well somebody I classify people my own way because I don't think like everybody else thinks. That's all I want to say, you know. You have to hate all people the same. It was part of the reason why ABC wanted you back.

15:49 And a lot of that was because They don't care about ambient. They don't care about the details. They don't care about Ambien. to the jail in Germany. And he's the CEO of a large company. And they went over things with him. And so they describe how he was hitting on the stewardesses and trying to start fights with men in the cabin. And the German people actually let him stay in the country.

17:32 Well, and you told me you were on Ambien. People say that's a big thing that people take Ambien to have sex. Yeah, I have no problem going to sleep. It's like Candyman. Yeah, I did see that tweet. where they have no idea what the fuck they're saying it's called a hypnotic that is the So if we could talk about how fucking awesome that movie, Planet of the Apes.

19:53 Is that the name of it? That if you have a certain amount of monkeys? Yeah. I said the picture was put up after my tweet. But wasn't there another tweet that you made a long time ago about, who was that other woman? Because this is regionalistic. swinging ape balls i give them that you know it's a regionalistic thing and uh you know so i used it Yeah, but you don't miss my point.

23:01 That's what I meant. the Iran deal. Those are the two things Did he? But, well, when you become a target, how do you know if you don't read it? Like I told you that news crews, when they found out that you were going to come on the podcast the first time, they were trying to show up at my house. We were at home in Salt woke up at 7, the shit had hit the fan, you know.

24:59 So I always tweet and fall back to sleep. I have to have my family tell me that. Were you surprised? We're only trying to help you. they always thought all my trips for president were crazy but then oddly they were all very Oh, yeah. And then, you know, I sort of fell apart after that. Did you find that you became much more impulsive? Going to first week of high school.

28:53 So first you must have been in a medical hospital first, and then you were admitted to a mental hospital afterwards? which was a matter of weeks after that, maybe two months. Like how so? Mostly just punches and kicks. I would just be subject to whims, very addictive behavior. Well, some of it's just normal because video games are awesome. know, certainly very mild in comparison to yours. Yeah. Plus there was a lot of trauma in the state

32:02 You say that like, what does that mean? It was, she needs actual medical help. Yeah. They say PTS, post-traumatic stress. I don't know. I think I told this to Paul Rubens, too. That's the key to life, I think. But so I did it, you know, and I can't, oh, Anka, that was her name, the head nurse. Yeah. they consider me to be dangerous I realized oh shit

36:56 They bore me, you know. Marjorie, I'm in here because I broke a couple of tenants' backs. Didn't they tell you that? Utah Utah girl Because I figure, oh, it's an accident. one hand here and one hand here and then you like oh uh where'd you learn that i'm changing the I go, yeah, and they expect us to eat that? This, this, you know, I like suddenly I'm transported to a confederacy of dances when he's on the thing against Levi Pants.

39:36 There was two doors. scissors you know but anyway i went on anti-psychotic medicine and um that was good that Yeah. I knew enough not to let them near me. Because once you got the diagnosis of schizophrenic they would i'm on the right medications that help me um there's a lot of comedians that have similar Wild, didn't give a fuck, totally impulsive.

42:47 I watched too much of that police show, you know, where they'd stop traffic. I used to love TV shows I think they looked at you as a rich white lady who said something that they considered to be racist and they decided they were going to attack you. People who should know you the way I know you. Yes. Yeah. you know well you know they may not like me they don't have to no they don't you're not a bad

44:58 and with you other than you're this person they could reach don't make me into your idea of who i am what was their idea who you were well they thought that I think this says it better than anything. I just want a government that works for the American people. and it's really really time to talk about that. Well, you know, the ignorant, unwashed people who voted for Trump, it's not their fault.

49:25 They're wrong about that, too. And I don't think it is what they were. That's really not any kind of a justice warrior. How could she and, you know, this and that and the other. The industry is ruthlessly left. Like, to the point where it's not even a thinking thing it's just like they automatically go left She said, John said he's in if you're in.

52:02 So who turned on you after this was over? I'm like, It's one of the greatest characters in the history of sitcoms. You know, I let them say all they want to say. and I'm waiting for a line about Hillary Do you remember? What did they say about it? They felt it would go against their morals to say that there's another way to vote or to acknowledge that half the country voted that way.

54:32 It has nothing to do with liberals. Demonstratable lies. Well, especially when they found out when Donna Brazile's book came out, they found out what they had done to Bernie during the primaries. In the South. So, you know, they're doing a whole march. A whole bunch of kids, youths. And what's the idea? Republican. Whether they're from one party or the other.

56:50 It's one of the reasons why when he was campaigning, he had so much animosity towards them and towards the system that he was a part of for so long. It's kind of smart to cover your bets, you know, which government contract you're going to be able to dip into. They parrot everything. We have it right within our grasp to, you know, make sure that this is a good place for all kids.

58:35 and working together and bringing this country together homeless. I mean, that's who we are. I don't want that to be who we are. Come on. People think And I did. I mean, the 10th season to disappear. I mean the tenth season to disappear. Mind control stuff, yeah. So you think that they want you to kill yourself well i don't know why they would do what they did

1:00:59 I didn't cancel the show. I apologized for three months. I mean, if it were my friend, definitely I would have, of years, of two decades or more, Yeah, but I just thought, oh, that's just about them. pretty frail. And I think, you know, I worked really hard And that's how I was looking at the whole thing. I wouldn't be on there, you're looking like a monkey.

1:05:33 But that wasn't good enough either. and I think that they should read more. interacting with people in the real flesh right you're not experiencing social cues you're not But they also manufacture dissent. and actually take responsibility for the things our country does. I think people have a mind of their own, and people are inherently tribal. And the Republican Party is very much for tribal law.

1:09:22 That's how I'm tribal. That the work of an artist over 30 years, they think that we just pull that out of their ass and that they can copy it. And it's just like, wow, it's so huge. Why did you sign off? that was denied me it's like you can't say anything until you sign off. and they offered you nothing in return. and I wasn't going to be that big of a hypocrite.

1:12:25 It's amazing. Oh, Jesus Christ. They got hit by a flying chunk of rock from the volcano on one of the boats, too. My area flooded a bit. I want to write a book. Yeah. So I had to do what I did to get him. Oh, my God. They're all hilarious. No, they didn't tell me. How weird is it... All from a tweet. Yeah. Hmm. Wow. They were knocking on my mom's door

1:16:52 And they're like, we just, please tell Roseanne we love her. Remember, I just said it to a small population, less than 600,000 people on Twitter. Yeah. They didn't want me to tweet. And the ball And look, I don't know what's going to that's one thing And they're going to think about their own lives. And then it's misconstrued, five kids there's not a one of them who didn't do something horrendous at age 17 well we were

1:20:53 notarized and then make a date for after that happens even that's a dangerous time for our sons But, I mean, what about rape in the prisons? Oh, my God. You abuse them further because most prisoners are in there because they're abused children. I'm glad, too. Particularly if you watch cable TV for Christ's sake. Why don't you do something like this?

1:23:14 I don't know how to write in a fucking password and turn this shit on. And there's, like, you know, for me it was, well, I realized they're not my family. Do you? Do you filter them? That's true. Because I go, no, this is, you know, we can't have no bitches up in here. And all my daughters, thank God, all their sons, they listen to me. He's Russian.

1:25:14 no in this family i go okay well if you want to live a cursed life go ahead live a cursed life put that voodoo Everybody says you don't say the T word. Right. Exactly. I have all those things. I do, too. Yeah. oh my god well you should at least suggest it yeah in a nice way yeah you should let them know So when you were in this... My dad was real dark.

1:28:28 So I've learned a thing or two, Joe. Or a cat? Because I just lay there in bed watching the ID channel on murders and sex. When they put shit together, you know, go the our our uh perp is a You mean studying it and reading about it? into it like oh my god but you realize there's some people out there that have a dark mind. Why is it interesting to you

1:31:07 The Golden State Killer I thought That's what the Connors are trying to get you. As a ghost. I mean, they do have these movies about robots and other worlds. I think it was a bit better, too. next year. Oh, shit. Well, we don't need to talk about it. Where are you going to do it? And how are you going to do it? I was kind of saying I wanted to co-headline, too.

1:33:58 Yeah, it'll make me feel better. And the doctor said, you know, that can cause psychosis. and get somebody who's going to do some blood work on you And I can't absorb minerals or vitamins. We'll see how this washes out. But it seemed orchestrated because they used the same words, you know, But that doesn't mean we're the KKK, okay? people's children and such, for instance.

1:38:18 and what goes around comes around and that's true and especially true in hollywood the guy that fired Yeah. And then I mean, look. Right. Yeah. But some people can't. And the political But, I mean, I just think that what they did was just very hasty and very foolhardy. But this is what my point was. That's stupid. Well, they did cancel the show before even one advertiser had pulled out.

1:42:06 It's one of our number one forms of recreation. There's never been a time like this in history. There can't be two winners. win and take your life's work. Yeah. and probably already spent it. I mean, I wasn't a helpless victim, So when I looked at it, I looked at you as someone that I admire, someone that I think is one of the best comics ever, who I think I know that you have mental health issues.

1:44:50 over it with lipstick and They shouldn't have. ridiculous because there's studies on this shit and that people understand the interaction between i went to see little foot's a great movie that's a good thing to tweet yeah real simple shit like It's like, what did he say? Well, they definitely are suffering themselves. They're in shitty relationships.

1:47:28 I'm going to shit all over this racist, this racist Roseanne. And so, you know, I just, I think that in the long run, I really want it to be known that I am a Jew What is she, 1 8 black woman even what is she I think she identifies or people identify her as a black woman. Yeah, I think so. Many times. Yeah, they are. This is the truth. Maybe it feels that way.

1:50:37 I can see how they think. Iran every day threatens the Jewish people in Israel with annihilation. or thinking you said a racist thing. Well, it's probably not been explained to them, for one. many of us think. And, you know, people don't understand it or they don't, you know, care to many Christians, it's very important to them too. They're under onslaught too.

1:53:22 They beat that old Jewish woman to death in her Paris apartment. There's a a lot of it i'm not saying they only kill jews but they do kill jews okay and the I don't think they're aware that this had anything to do with your motivation. You don't think that the media will allow you to be pro-Israel? So I'm not going to play either one of those games about who does this or what.

1:55:50 And it does find its way to the media. There's quite a few conservative voices on Twitter, but some are when they think they're inflammatory or they think they're espousing hate. Yes. Well, not only that— I think he just, this is just what happens. It's not freedom of speech or freedom of religion and freedom of expression. version of it. Well, because they won't let it happen. But who's that? You know, the people that

1:59:02 And, you know, you have a vast majority of professors at universities all across the country that identify as Democrats. You didn't think it was coordinated. most of them do or they they reject those ideas and either go to the center or go right That's absolutely right. People can love someone who lives with someone who has a completely opposing opinion. They figure it out, and they disagree with. People can love someone who lives with someone

2:01:19 I think that you became a target. and then Trump supporters loved it. and grabbed your crotch and spit on the ground. Yeah, I would. All day long. No. I've heard that from several people. nutrients it affects everything your mood your yeah your energy levels everything you mean food not to say, without any executives, without Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

2:03:57 I really do. Love the people that come out to see me. Always have been. Over decades, you didn't know? They said 99% of all raccoons are gone. Stay away from Florida. It was so weird. No, this is for true. i've always been really afraid of serpents okay so uh so i go in And then it went in this big circle. They're like, hey, she'll go for it. Yeah, you're mine.

2:07:09 Oh, they go side eye. I could see why that would be a problem. I sort of believe him. there. And he told me to stop doing it. And he looked at my address book, and I was calling General Schwarzkopf to do it to him. Just get them riled up that way. And I didn't know know so i couldn't The devil worship parties. Not like a motherfucker like you there?
