So double pneumonia and you have corona, we believe.

6:59 to go really good or really bad. And we'll know in two days and every nurse or doctor that came in when they can't tell And then it would go up to 103.8 again. So your head, your body, everything. Everything. And I'm texting my wife lying to her saying, hey, babe, I'm gonna make it through. And it just broke me up so bad that, you know, I've taken care of myself.

9:37 My doctor said, if we put you on a ventilator, he said, because the nurse brought her up, should we put him on a ventilator? I've heard that being speculated by other doctors as well. weak right this machine is doing all your lifting so why would we want to put them on that unless Then there's ones that aren't as good.

By the way, this is the fifth time that fight was canceled. adjustment over a period of just a few weeks. And so Justin's fight is, I mean, Justin always You're swinging for the bleachers.

20:29 Like, was there something you took away from this experience I felt real fortunate for that. So we're in a 15,000-seat arena, and there's maybe 10 people in the audience. of having a big arena just to say you did it i think there's something to that to letting everybody But I took care of myself on Sunday and just hung around with the family and we you know didn't do much just went

22:54 everything is social distancing everything is cover your mouth Because when I was at the beginning of it, but I've heard from so many, after I went But so many doctors reached out to me too me go. They said seven days, six days after that, I would be fine. But another doctor told me, He says we would never. He goes, you came in. condition, you're going to be fine.

26:19 What do you mean deaths to the pre-existing? football for the University of Arkansas. But he says, what you come in with, since I had migraines, people that are hired to go on shows and put doubt into people's minds about certain things And he's just rattling it off. It's all spin. Give them cocaine. It really felt like I was going to- And hot, cold, everything.

29:44 It feels the same. You see any elves? I'm watching this on the news. talking about it they come in as like what are you giving me oh hydroxychloroquine so they give It was not a good fit. Yeah. and i'm just weak like i still get winded like when i talk a lot i'll get winded and i'll just No. And I'm like, wow. They tried to FaceTime. trying to FaceTime.

Yeah, it is crazy that the cheapest food is the worst for you and the most fattening. Like there was a story in Texas, a dude stabbed a guy and his two kids, two and six. Yes. he didn't bring it over here. no. the governor's office.

37:03 wanted to protest to get their jobs back just Like, what are you doing? like what are you doing like why do you have a rifle there was a guy it was a clip i saw a guy But there's a lot of dumb motherfuckers out there. to Sam's Club? Why do you have a fucking What do you mean? With the guns. This is one of the things that's been infringed upon by this whole lockdown thing where people, you know, they're being told they're not allowed to assemble. It's a gigantic part of who we are, the ability to assemble, the ability to protest.

39:36 It's like, okay, if we're in that, And we are, our rights are being infringed upon. Yeah. And that's where most of the people get their information. Instead of it being, hey, let's all get through this. myself included, that float in between both of those. If a Republican says something nice about a Democrat, these ideas because they're comfortable.

43:19 that they don't want gay folks to be married. And marriage is supposed to be between a man and a If you want to get tattooed, get tattooed. other people's choices that don't affect them at all and decide that somehow or another it's an like caused gas prices to spike and then you have a case yeah and fucking all of a sudden there was yourself all over the place. Let me stop you right there. This is the same as you saying

45:52 In what way? Let's look at his past. Donald Trump is... and he would even go on those talk shows and talk shit about Rosie O'Donnell and people thought it was funny. that make a lot of money and then they don't pay taxes. That guy has got, you know, he bought Tyler Perry's private jet and shit. We should figure out, okay, is this a violation of the whole idea behind,

48:31 belief system. they can get money from the government. Because people aren't over, bro. Bro? Leave them alone. They're working for Jesus. They're out there hustling for Jesus. Okay. How far do you take it? You're Christian? why didn't God have their back? Why did God let that little kid get stabbed? plane blows up. they cannibalized each other. If nobody had religion,

52:52 were trying to do some violent shit to them. And whatever we needed to get people to act in a more moral or ethical way, And a lot of people don't want to believe it's over when it's over. that's, And the state is the ruler and the law of the state. religion religion is a nice excuse. And you see this, I mean, it's what you get with cults when, So like remember the people, the Heaven's Gate cult?

57:28 a lot of the bullshit. Yeah, I just want to believe in good. I will not blindly follow a church or religion. Why would you think that when there's no evidence of that? Georgia. Did you hear about that story? No. I read it this morning. I'm sorry. Okay. Dr. Nancy Shaw, who was a doctor in Connecticut. They got out of the patrol car to investigate, Well, packs of dogs.

1:01:47 Because she knew I had cats. I have three cats. And that cat was wild to the day it died. Excuse me? One day, I wasn't home. Pitbulls. But I was the only one. Like, I have two ragdolls now. he's just a love bug and he's like this with everybody. Yes, for sure. But he's also a Anybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was abandoned. I've always had this very So I'm a hard ass in some ways like that.

1:07:47 kickstarts you. Oh, I need it. It seems that's the time. He takes a picture of his watch. For him, up all the time. He gets up at 4.30 in the morning every day. It seems that's the time. He's an animal. and tell yourself that tomorrow is not a viable option. That's all you need. Who is one of the most inspirational people that I've ever met in my life.

1:09:45 Do you? Yeah, there's all kinds of people in this world. No. desire but i just think like whether or not Well, it's whether or not- It's challenging yourself. Yeah. There's a natural inclination to seek comfort. Like, I never, I've always been a good guy, a hustler. believe that because i see the death total going up and i go oh i'm not i'm here for a reason and

1:12:46 but I just appreciate everything. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. much it meant when i was laying in that hospital bed fighting for my life after i got over that hump Yeah. someone figured out how to turn that thing. Hot shower. Nine degrees at night. it was so warm the water was so good and to feel that the soap and to get the stink off me because

1:16:14 peace because when I push myself, I push myself in a ferocious, horrific way where I'm, I'm I create it myself. And you go, what makes you is you would never take away your struggle when you were younger Yes. Oh, I mean, I really like to get my career in order, but God, I mean, sometimes I'm depressed. But if it was, those people are not supposed to make it.

1:18:53 You don't have to do that. I can. Those people. Look. I think there's way more of those. it gives you comfort. That's an interesting perspective. Or she works out and doesn't eat cake. I understand. Congratulations. more celebrity driven. I know you're not. I like it as long as she can sing And Adele's important. She's lost a ton of weight. Look, my thing is, as long as you're healthy.

1:23:37 bigger, and you're healthy, because I know Okay. Like football players. I thought you were talking about like – Yeah. He was going to eat and he was going to keep eating and whatever it was. it's like if you have a friend and that If they do, people come down on you. I think ultimately if you can, Or you got to take the other side of the coin on that. Some people feel worse and then do awful

1:27:18 before. that it goes back to the lazy thing yeah it doesn't work on lazy people well there's a lot actually had to go through steps and work to do that, Or fuck her. in business with someone and they're like i'm on it let's get this let's do that hey maybe we can People don't want that though. for losing weight so fast i've heard that like other fat those get mad if you're not big now

1:30:10 Your kid sleeps 18 hours a day when they're first born. And then other fat fucks chime in too. It's fun. lazy people jaco approves this oh david goggins is like that's what i'm talking about approves three days. Works a full-time job. on instagram and you'll go You get more out of your life. said like Jocko four o'clock in the morning, throwing kettlebells around like a savage.

1:33:22 I know moms who are like fitness enthusiasts that gained a lot they get criticized. If they lose weight No, that's not real. I remember that. Don't be lazy. But life's not fair. Like, oh, I'm gonna get it Everything else is enormous. It's not fair genetically. that parents are divorced or Life is not fair. There's wonderful people that get leukemia.

1:37:11 I just get up and do it every day. There's a difference between being 50 today and being 50 in the past. a lot longer than anybody ever thought you could. But it's education. when you were going back and forth did you like kind of stay away from people in airports or All the staff was tested. The workers in the hotel, okay. Me and my buddy, Eddie Bravo, were sitting there eating a meal like a grown-up.

1:40:04 Scatter. This is after three weeks I've been cleared. The manager reached out to me personally it's also shitty But they're scared you're going to sue. Was that alleviated? What does that mean? And they said I had long immunity because it was so bad. the worst. but it works just like the flu. Yeah. Well, they didn't know how many people were asymptomatic.

1:43:35 When did they know this? But regardless, if you know, okay, they did know this. There's so much confusion. Their game is alleviate blame and take control of the narrative. If it didn't fit his narrative, he wouldn't have took the money away. 100%. And then you're looking at it, you're like, holy Christ. Do you, if you had to guess, when, I mean, you do like arenas, but for normal comedians like me that do clubs, do you think...

1:46:19 If you go to Eddie Bravo's Instagram, Your immune system has never experienced that. Like, I don't know. That's the problem. I didn't know whether or not we're going to be okay or not. You're just normal. No, what they're saying is, on this part, is the oxygen level in a person that would come in with corona was at 60%. That happened to my friend's son.

1:49:22 If you're just kind of strolling through life, you don't really need 100% of your oxygen, right? I said these people were in the hospital knowing something's wrong. i don't know the technical but this is what the doctor's saying where you could look it up but That these people should be gasping. 85 kids. Because people will take your shit so seriously.

1:51:16 A lot of them are really dumb. And one of the side effects of these worms was a decreased brain function. about uh this hookworm parasite and this uh parasite that was extremely prevalent in the South. Weeks later, victims succumbed to an insatiable exhaustion and an impenetrable haziness of the mind that some called stupidity. Hookworm stymied development throughout the region and bred stereotypes about lazy, moronic Southerners.

1:54:13 Wow. Well, shit, that makes sense. I say y'all still. Just a touch. Yeah. But you're definitely not from New York. No. Yeah, I mean,. Really? Yeah, you have a touch of Southern, some Texan in there. Just a touch. Yeah. I think my friend sent me a picture You're all good. so you were hanging around and just say So the comedian, I know. So it was only the people that you were hanging out with in the green room.

1:56:22 And he sent me the picture. Not like you. Yeah. Well, it's a thing where after I beat this thing, Yes. Catalin? I don't know what it does. I take 4,000 milligrams of vitamin C. Seriously. No, I would love that. If you go to one of them public ones, what kind of funk is going on? It's these little hot boxes. And he said he developed some real skin issues from infrared saunas.

2:00:26 it every fucking day. And I've Because I think it's massively Do you have room in your yard? I want to go back in, because we're saying it could be my immune, but this has really opened my eyes. How often do you get sick? So, do you start thinking around December 10th? She's like, oh, it's about your time. from the dude that saved my life. and fly back and the time zone's all fucked up and the fact that you went immediately to vegas

2:02:59 And those guys that you were with. 100%. Well, my friend Sturgill got it They didn't have it. Okay. But I took the in my life. I think it's like, but usually the two weeks before that, Exactly. I learned that trick from Chappelle. and we're all getting IV vitamin drips in the hotel room. vitamin drip. You feel the same? Does it take longer? Jamie, do you go wide open?

2:08:05 hour and i'm like oh it's kind of uncomfortable but it's not that big a deal it's like everything You just, Yeah. But it's just like you feel it in your chest. And just deal with it. 13 minutes just yeah suck it up open it wide up i tried like tried it first i go open that wide up let me feel that's like and i was like I can't. Don't be a pussy. that 25 30 minute range sucks but any faster than that it sucks hard like i started feeling

2:10:57 Yeah. control over uh what what i assign to sensations. And I just get myself in the mindset. I loved Tiger King. have you ever messed with a cat no oh yeah Oh, yeah. The little cat that I had. Yeah. They ride horses. He has a lot of money. Yeah. Texas. It is. like if the president just came out and say look a lot of people are going to die. Like if the president just came out and said, look, a lot of people are going to die, but

2:14:38 Because right now in America, it's so divided where no matter what Trump says, liberals are going to go nuts. What do you mean? So I read something. anything can kill you. Absolutely. Right. When you're 75 years old and you get the flu, Yeah, but at least there's comfort. They're saying it doesn't. And that's what makes it scary to people. Yeah. is older than the average age that people die?

2:17:43 So 75 to 84 years old would be the average age people die, and that's 12,000 people. for the younger people. And then when you get to 15 to 24, there's only been 48 deaths, Do you eat well? Avocado's pretty good for you. I'm like a robot. Eating the same thing? But as far as me, but like in college, I did that. Creatine put some weight on you. I did the carnivore diet.

2:20:45 nothing wrong with oatmeal. I mean, oatmeal's fine. No, I drink I've done both. you feel so good. Um, But for me, oranges, apples, fruit, some blueberries, that's nice. I love it. Has anybody seen those pilots? They had very specific, like actual real data, including radar. They track these They fly in some way that these military aircraft pilots can't

2:24:43 exposing these people to just so they freak out and like, let's see if they can get an explanation for this. the world's ever known, president of the United States, commander in chief of the greatest he was publishing or whatever i forget what it was but wrote down as in his bio born in kenya Now he's at Harvard and he was born in Kenya. Of course he would.

2:27:03 If you talk about this, we can't protect you. I honestly think they have that conversation. Well, if you look at i think i think you have these idealistic perspectives that once you get into office got that and i think every fucking president deals with a new series of potential terrorist attacks a new series of uh religious madness yeah it's it's scary man it's scary I think they keep Trump in the

2:29:54 That's most of the time. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. I mean, because some of the things that he says, like he's threatening people. So I was like, Yo! Makes sense to me. it looks like he's ready for a heart attack. He killed his own uncle, He had him, they gave him some fucking crazy like like anyone i guess that could take power or in the realm of taking power he got

2:32:26 It's built into the system, you know, But my mom, she's from South Korea. And a lot of the reason why it's the way it is is the United States' interference. It's horrific. My thing is, how do we have laws that say that you could chase somebody with guns? I mean, they chased him down and it's vigilantism. He looked at it. father was with the DEA and then the prosecutor the local prosecutor wrote

2:35:28 It took social media out. For months, these guys were out and they knew that they had shot him. I'm doing the southern accent. Imagine being a 25-year-old black man and two white guys in the back of a pickup truck Here's what's crazy is the police had the video at the beginning and they still dismissed And I don't know much about the person that shot it.

2:37:04 Holy fuck. Yeah. Maybe. caught a guy that burglarized like they felt like oh this and then the guns start going off yeah holy fuck yeah maybe and then the vigilantism is scary man because people just decide that they're Video of that, too. to be considered as one of the with shotguns. Let's take away race. Let's say the two guys shot a black guy that got shot by two white guys with shotguns. Let's

2:38:20 and tell them to, you know, But they don't think it's big as it is. Three people ago. It takes a long time to go away when you've got the roots of it that's still deeply embedded in these cities, right? At certain restaurants on campus. local restaurant to let him in. when he was growing up, this You know, I was reading this horrible story about even after slavery was abolished,

2:41:03 Find out where this is. They said, you know what? Yeah. They would be paid only 13% of what garbage makers. Dollar? That's insane. Metro makes no apologies for this policy as a core element of our commitment to being good corporate citizens. It's weird because there's no end of the quotation marks. That doesn't make any sense. They've built widespread community.

2:44:17 They would let anything happen. And a grown man in a union that can't get more than $10 an hour. five, maybe six if the world They'll find something else. How the fuck did they even think of that? I'll fuck him up. And this Neuralink is going to rapidly increase our ability to access information. Do you think the chimps were like, one day we're going to have cars that pollute the

2:47:15 I mean, this is just what happens. And we're like, God, this guy's a baller. Right. fuck you, we'll use slaves. You know what I mean? and i some black people i don't like and i some black people Most people don't care at all. Steven Pinker is a really, really brilliant guy. There's a trend, and that trend is that society is getting safer, and people are getting nicer,

2:51:35 So I feel like these kids that are young growing up, they're going to be so much more sensitive But I went to a school in Houston, Texas, where I stood out. My dad was like, tell me you're black and Asian. before the trend because people made fun of her They can say what they want. Hateful Eight. He's gone through some shit. for people to say what well, what is rational?

2:54:26 Yeah. Like nothing. Oh, man. Jesus Christ. She goes, nothing's wrong with him. Well, she had breast cancer. But at 31, it really hurt me. How's that good? And she goes, well, if I wouldn't have got breast cancer, I wouldn't have person I was like your God you know gave you breast cancer again how's that good and she goes she was in a hospital I don't want

2:56:41 That's the first time he's gone to the doctor. That's a great way to do it, too. You don't even know. So about six months ago, my mom calls me, your dad flew off the Oh, my God. He's like, It is what it is. I'm gonna get my parents on mine. But my mom is like, yeah, Asian people can't drive, but Korean people can drive. That's so funny. That's hilarious.

2:59:40 I think we're in this for a couple years. I would. Because for the longest time, when we didn't have something like this, there's a lot of people that are barely hanging on health-wise. have issues Yeah. It's basically helping people that would recover anyway. what you said about what is this Jay? They drive like maniacs out there. I didn't know. Don't tell me.
