Yeah, yeah, yeah. so trippy and i'll get in my head and next thing i know i'm like this is like taking acid i love They were all beaten down, worn out, and then it got them.

3:13 i love her but anyway when she's uh doing the test she's telling us about all these kids that in la went out and bought it and then was like oh this we shouldn't be listening to this he's like but netflix you're on your couch you're waiting for postmates like what are you fucking tired from And I was talking to Colin Quinn for my podcast, you guys need to be stopped the middle needs to be stopped this reason needs to be stopped well

5:57 Actually got some good points an article and it was like uh um why i don, why I'm not voting for the president. I was like you see don lemon and chris cuomo talking about white people and and and how like white people Have you ever been to Appalachia? They were like, Don Lemon's calling out celebrities and I am here for it. it and i was like don lemon is the arsonist standing in the house asking for

8:58 Anti-bias training. Do you remember when he did that? one of the things that really was Good, solid number. How is he even real? stepped up though some mayor should have stepped up and said I am with you Everybody was still getting together in apartments peaceful right and they made that with a photo of a building on fire it is it is so crazy how Climate change is the biggest one on the right where they're they just full-on try to deny climate change and it's a part

13:00 And so there are some young people in that space. and you want to raise the standard and trickle down economics and all that shit but you can't attention to and this is why i hate when these things like the climate shouldn't be it we should facts are that would be awesome and productive but we don't we don't start there we start with But it's a bad video

15:37 Who knows the cops are racist because if that was a black guy they would have shot him right my position is okay this is these are two totally different cops and maybe they Right, in that case, there is no racism, right? That's the problem. me saying like i i work with cops and they need better training you know they they're cops people in my life and he was like that was very good you know i don't think he hears that

18:57 because then you should be writing yeah i mean that might that might be a problem too i might I might need that. They have apps for that, too. I mean, you're a writer. it's it's really a shame how many books i've written on twitter great american novel twitter has also given you a very large following that's how i mean i i knew instagram are you on it i'm on it but i never use it i hate it i go on about it i just every it's so

21:17 I was like, I'm old. How weird is that? which one you're right which one chloe chloe okay you know what she looks like yeah she looks one gonna go outside i'm not worried about her um but i'm worried about her too okay i'm worried about She's a person. Wow. I don't know. I'll be like, I'm Bridget. Jennifer Grey. Yeah. Yeah, who was the original one who did this? Jennifer Grey.

24:37 I think she said that. Yeah, I mean, it's a nose that's not perfect does not make you unsexy. was asking me how i stay sane and covid and what i'm doing i'm like i focus on the only cake for breakfast did they catch you like with eyes half closed with the mouth open i was like Friends were saying those. It does work. And people were like, look at your belly.

27:03 You must love Texas. place was amazing i went to the other one that's really big um the really famous one that's kind There was just a guy. Fredericksburg is very German, he's a descendant of these fighters and he was trying to explain that they just don't want them to desecrate. And it seemed like they were a reasonable conversation. Do you just leave a statue up?

30:35 Instead of taking them down and smashing them, So I would generally err on the side of going through the process. get trump out of office like oh my god like yeah can we freeze this yeah we freeze this and rethink Like, dudes in New York have been wearing Timberlands forever. They never went away, man. i said something like he may or may not be slipping into dementia i mentioned about why i'm not voting

33:47 Yeah, no. you're going to do the right thing aren't you yeah or we'll burn your fucking house down some when i was on i did one of uh brett's um unity campfires and oh did you yeah and you know i was I don't like saying, I know my 16 my 16 year old nephew and all his friends listen and There will be. trump supporter yeah it was portland yeah that guy was not a kid he's just a fucking sociopath

37:45 That's what he said. joe biden is is having mental issues is the same thing because it's all you're what you're doing is Trump devotion syndrome. what happened america we used to make fun of all of our politicians and so i think at that in that He's funny. everything else. That's a great joke. But Trump's like, Joe Rogan's MAGA. of those Trump supporters

40:36 devotion and i understand look i get it too because he he rose out of the domination of the mainstream media, us and that's why smart people are voting for him and that's a silent vote right now yeah that's a these trolls like they do affect people yeah they do it really does work like if you get enough of it's really fascinating it is because she found hundreds of thousands of these posts oh yeah that

43:01 And it's like always spelled wrong. Come on. We're the police of the world. And he made some comment about it that was smart, but it wasn't necessarily like, you know, A to B logic because he's like 12. Whoa. Well, Jake Hoffman, president and CEO of Rally Forge, Yeah. how much they're paying to see like if this is like yeah political activist kids imagine if

46:19 And just going to war with people on Twitter. I have to do that. But you can trust that the words in from people i respect you know and not not even people who maybe i am completely, if someone is not even my friend, but they critique something in a respectful way, I'll hear that. No, I mean. the very thing that literally has made us racist the very thing that's made us go

49:04 west and he talks create that reality for themselves is life just too easy there's a lot of that there's a lot of don't have that and then you're like hey fuck you you know like then you that that twitter comment and i was saying this on twitter the other day i'm like i'll be worried about america when no disease coming that's going to kill everybody and then when that didn't happen it's like it ramped

52:21 It was just people seeing other people stockpiling it. more while the bars were closed alcohol consumption rose like 20 i am on a i had to it was hard for me when i remember when it first started i was uh it was kind of eerie like no one was out in la the superdome yeah have you ever read the book No. I couldn't read fiction for two years after I read that book.

55:04 And she's witness to So I think that we're, you know, it's pretty under the circumstances. Yeah. And the guy face plants, Yeah. cops i think are not racist i think the vast majority of people are not violent or evil the That's a great point. they're driving narratives. solidarity there's that feeling of like yeah we're in this yeah and it was only two weeks later before

58:39 you're going to have a heart attack before COVID ever kills you. are driving themselves insane. security problem yeah that's a great tweet i think about that all the time because man is that played I'm successful. of overcoming issues and we don't have tools in terms of like whether it's exercise or meditation or yoga or whatever you do to alleviate tension.

1:00:24 Unhinged. And they've been alone and isolated. And he said, I just saw a real life twitter are forcing people or were going to cause people Those video games, you're not shooting a real person. Most of your interactions are just this way. yeah and then you get used to doing that and then you don't you're not around people a lot yeah most it was kind of a three-prong attack because i'm like i can't live like this because hypochondria

1:03:13 because my mom used to have you know those do you remember those books before the internet where it the first is the actual um i was like all right i'm gonna rewire my fucking brain and and i set myself this concept of whatever you're kind of thinking and acting on it it just creates like a pathway myself from the action because that you know anytime you have a thought and you act on it it

1:06:26 those, the triggering thoughts. So one was like, I couldn't hold joy. I just, anytime I felt like raised catholic so that shit got squirted in before i had a chance in hell. And so there's lots of shame around that, that I had that's not a coping tool it exacerbates it whether you like it or not so i had to quit that and i was joking just like how because it requires effort.

1:09:04 it's in me i was talking to david goggins who's one of the most savage people that's what it is there's there's a thing i it's it's in me i was talking yeah and then he he actually says he said those thoughts into a tape recorder or you know a phone He shows you that he has these thoughts himself, now because victimhood has become currency like no warrior in the fucking world would ever want to be considered a victim they

1:11:14 there's this great book, Tiny Habits, And goals are good to work towards, but you're not going to get there without healthy, consistent habits. Like, if everyone is a victim and you can't, like, have any victims ever, well, then you chris jenner isn't really a demon that hovers over his bed and whispers in his ear and converted him to Yeah. Because I feel like the world has become just a floor of eggshells.

1:14:06 of the joke die on the right to be hyperbolic yes because that's what they're coming after exactly comedians when i see other comedians going after other comedians for their jokes i'm like what the Or you see someone take, maybe misstep. doesn't work it all comes in the same place yeah and that place is you're trying to be funny yeah And then it works better.

1:16:58 things i had zero opinions on politics or weddings or anything so all i talked about for like the first year of Even though it's uncomfortable and awkward, I was trying to get this bit where I was talking i was trying to do this and all i kept getting was like oh from the audience and i hate the pity i'm you gotta pay a freaking storage fee listen having kids is awesome don't get me wrong yeah but you

1:19:50 but try like how many people who do certain things want you to do those things as well hadn't you know i'm very and then i was i hit 40 and i was like oh shit um am i gonna regret this You are right where you should be. found out all this stuff but really i was like oh i i can buy a house that's a that was an amazing i was such a i was such a boy like a a boy's girl you know i just i moved a lot and the guys

1:22:35 serving them french fries like remember my name did you really yeah i'm gonna be fucking huge in the same space and so it space. And so there might be another Oh, see, I mean i mean maybe one of those that you're not is to get squashed oh yeah so you get squashed a lot i i've eaten a lot of humble pie well anyone who gets good at jujitsu has been fucking manhandled

1:25:28 And we live in a culture that doesn't really, And I was like selling t-shirts on wouldn't take it and then we just had to like abandon these two cards. between delusions and dreams is hard work like you're delusional if you're sitting in your mom's but they have these moments where they get laughs. Most people want to protect themselves from their failures

1:28:38 Yeah. one at the comedy store that i still remember like it was yesterday it was it was a monumental It was monumental. A guy that I was kind of having an affair with, actually. feel me it was 100 i can't watch uh open mic nights i can't like one of one of the reasons This can't be done. performing who's a god and then there was just a bunch of nobodies who that they had arranged that

1:31:14 Thank God I didn't, in that instance, I didn't bomb. paranoid i got in my head the what's good in your act and uh the pacing and correct pacing and like how you're you're presenting and I just write it down on my phone. it's like they're slippery fish. Yeah, they're very, you're like, I'll remember that. I run away. Like literally run. And I just write it down. Because it's like they're slippery fish.

1:33:16 And like, what the fuck is he doing? i'm like what was i saying um so i have to say it because it's quick right you know so i have like And I just fuck around with it on stage just to see if I can find a place for it. And so I'll write like a couple thousand words, I do too. You're like, oh my God, you should use that. This is what I tell young comics. They're like, like well i really feel comfortable writing like that because it always

1:36:09 right it's fun sometimes but there's no substitute for real bits yeah like a real killer bit that's You see somebody who's so gifted at that. He's a genius. of new york in an hour unappreciated so unappreciated yeah yeah and comics appreciate Yeah, yeah. what are your i can live without it and learn that oh i can survive well yeah without it i mean you're not twitchy oh well i got twitchy the one time i did it i did it in houston i did a weekend at the

1:39:05 loved you but was overweight and they came to see you and they got coveted and died after your show He told me he did a show. You got to figure that's at least 1,400 people. Listen, he just wanted to be out there. How much momentum was just stopped. Yeah. Allie Makovsky. Yeah. listen i did you told me i remember where i was it was at the comedy store and you were like start a

1:41:54 say. If they weren't a fan of my comedy. motherfucker yeah you know we were up until four o'clock in the morning just laughing and then i came here at six yeah that's what happened So you were like, no radio? It's so annoying when you say something funny and someone's like, you can't say that. because then she'd have to kill a thing. It was hilarious.

1:44:13 true it's difficult but you can i go watch i'm gonna do it i go want to watch and i put my hand I was like, why can't you say that? a lot of people have listened particularly like tom segura and christina like tom and i had a and then I was basing my lifestyle off of that. leggero and moshe kasher there's a few. Yeah. And that's the answer to these people that say like,

1:46:15 But like all theories. Or their opinions. And this is what we're hearing from these kind of extremes when it comes to this shit. Right when he started wearing the MAGA hat, I was like, I get it. because that's the only way to purify your following I'll read my mentions because they're usually freaking hilarious. it's one of those words it's a fun word it's a really fun it's a fun word to say it just has a

1:49:23 all of your audience should take a moment, You got to talk to her. How did she have that much money? i thought she was kidding when she said it her psychic cut her off oh my god that's funny amazing I think there are moments when you think about people and they call you. say oh that's a coincidence it you're right it could be a coincidence yeah but i'm not buying

1:52:33 is and what what what what the intent is behind these sounds and it's it's it's creepy and sneaky One of the things of ayahuasca, when they first discovered ayahuasca, one of the ingredients that was later recognized as being already discovered to be a compound called harmin uh they they And then when they relayed these experiences, i have always had that psychic

1:55:41 playroom and he was you know he kept he was obsessed with flies. He would get obsessed with different things at different times. I was running on his heels trying to catch him i was like what the fuck and then he brings it back into the playroom and he would like basically it just doesn't fit in society. Yeah. stop anything that doesn't make you feel that even that language like i don't feel safe what is that

1:58:36 wonder if our ancestors would have made that same mistake where they're like what's happening i don't Maybe. there's a weird quiet to the to the mountains like there's a desert too yeah i love it and it also before you were ever here and it's that famous quote I'm butchering. time and space yeah and it's such a wild trip and we're way and we have more than we've ever had in

2:02:04 like puppies yeah there's a lot of things like real clear people don't murder people. Yeah. Don't steal. Don't rape. Don't, you know. Don't like pillage. But when it comes to whether it's government or behavior or ideology or any of the things the opinions that you hold are true yeah so you will fight to the death for those opinions well What does that mean?

2:03:39 You know what? hate it and i would hate myself because i think by the time you get there in order to even maneuver right we can get certain bills passed we can get certain legislation through we can make sure that She's pretty grassroots. Is it the Democratic Justice League or something? You think? of what you know what should be done with our culture and that this would work and with no

2:07:21 Yeah, it's an old saying. Yeah. And his dad was so mad. Because I'd moved from San Francisco, so I was 11. so dumb yeah it was too hot it was too hot to be smart there's something i think about florida it's Like what? accepted that that's not a battle they're winning. Well, it's evolution of the culture. Anybody dumb enough to get married should be allowed to give away half their shit.

2:11:34 Melissa Etheridge was on the podcast years ago. pussy so good they're just confused they can't even fill out forms they can't work anymore whose That's my situation Yeah, we've all become like European families. Right. way more open here oh yeah but my friends in la are losing their minds who have been alone because I mean, when I was walking my dog in LA, every single day, I have to avoid a crazy.

2:14:50 care that there's a guy with a machete having a having a moment they don't care they can't do You know, there's like an expression about how, notably worse you know there there has to be something people are paying tons of money i was Jamie and I were talking about this because they, before, just the way. little groups and um how much you find i didn't i never i was out of town that weekend my aunt was like please don't do that but i i legitimately was out of town that weekend so i

2:17:35 freaking like it was a huge fire on a grill on the side of the road it was like a hibachi or from 11 on he was uh on the street uh yeah it's it was terrible and he was talking about i mean he And it was kind of weird because he was really, for a person who has been homeless and on the street in this horrible Like, what are those things? Oh, they're a drug addict.

2:20:40 things you're seeing with uh a lot of these riots a lot of the looting and all the craziness it's like haves and have nots yeah yeah and they have nots like these motherfuckers how Yes. And then she wrote, eat the rich. i'm not sure if that's when it was from but i it just stuck with me he was like yelling at the We have a lot of problems, and there's a lot of us.

2:23:05 Do your best. Or burn down a fucking building. i don't know what they do with them i don't know how they help them i don't know what they do there articles that i read one of them was they're calling they're now calling homeless people This was an article about people that were putting rocks under underpasses Yeah. collapses yeah yeah i mean um one of the things that douglas murray said uh when i interviewed

2:26:32 They always had this thing where they want to break down all the... And one of the more disconcerting ones is deconstructing pedophilia. yes it passed he passed he signed it and they said it was a great victory for lgbtq people what as opposed to making a baby on a sex registered registry how come a 20 year old man can have sex with a 14 year old boy and he is all

2:29:05 Like 14 and 24. with straight people if they have vaginal sex right wow that's wild it's wild i didn't even Right. I saw a hundred articles about Ellen being mean. Yeah, that's another one that is really, languages there was a story not just english about a flight attendant and there was a man girls critics of cutie say the next film hyper sexualizes a pre-teen dance troupe

2:32:34 I do. That director is fucked up. Those are all actors. but it wasn't. I think I never saw it, Who's the... feel like that was pretty controversial do you remember the movie was it called happy It just seems, but I don't think it's necessarily like Netflix's problem. john bonnet that's a that's a whole fucking weird world joey diaz and i were uh in dallas once and

2:36:04 thing at the and she starts doing that crazy dance and freaking everybody out like oh q anon is crazy not everything is about pedophilia and then you see a cuties you know And the fact that prominent politicians, well, they went 26 times. Wow, you really do a great Phil Clinton impression. Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sex trafficking young girls on his mysterious private island over 40 years ago.

2:38:47 And that was the accusation that, who was the prosecutor that had to release him? So someone told him to let this guy go. Or he had to be in jail at night and then had to be at his house during the day because pedophile ring in las vegas doing what you're talking about yeah providing experience someone down it's not where someone has ligature marks if they're yeah all the things that point to the

2:40:36 Yeah. She was in a house in New Hampshire waiting. Didn't even change her hairstyle. book powerful on one of those pictures yeah one of the pictures Yeah, that's like that. So where is that in the lower right-hand corner? It's so crazy. then you could be disgusting and there wasn't any consequences for it you know and you when you think thing wasn't even a good cover remember when marilyn rose sang at his birthday party yeah

2:44:32 Well, when the Kennedy thing was happening, Documented. There was a whole thing written about him the other day. committed suicide parked their car in front of a train like all that kind of shit yeah yeah yeah repugnant this is before he was murdered you know kennedy was like vehemently against like the cia And then he got killed. The golden pony. secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

2:48:07 limits of official censorship and We did listen we listened where great, more stuff is being revealed, it's almost like they covered it like there was a cursory mention yeah like they had to they had to mention it otherwise they'd be complicit articles yeah and one of the reason why i tell people like journalists are fighting for their place where we're in is I call it journalism,

2:51:26 journalists or practicing journalism and that's damaging to all journalists because now you're these people with these biased perceptions and you know journalism as you call it which is a great that isn't his idea and i can't remember who he always attributes it to and realizing there's a I started going down the rabbit hole, and then there's really not much.

2:54:10 how are you expecting people to take you seriously and then they're they're in these echo chambers and then they're going to war with anybody who full maga like wow but see that that is something that i would check in with myself about because People from the left coming right. we have to give each other space to realign a little bit. see a click i'll see a headline if it confirms my bias i'm like i better double check that you know

2:57:28 But that takes, it'll take me an hour to read one article They find something that confirms their bias Sounds like a horror movie. Like pretty much video, I will not share it. I'm like, everyone's, Thank you for your... i'll you know you got russian troll farms and chinese logging in at 9 a.m oh my god it's they're right now who they are is not capable of doing these things we're asking them to do

3:01:10 Well, and then there's so much. anybody who's gone from the left to fully to the right like what are you not saying now about things And I don't even feel like my actual values have changed Yeah, they actually fought and won and got comics reclassified. like you who write articles for a bunch of different publications you would have to be an have gone and got worked in a corporation i could have probably gone and got a job anywhere and had

3:04:46 away from people who are choosing to work as a gig person and and not maybe join a union or go Yeah. cranking these things out in there and if you you are a company, for instance, you now have to employ that person. with give people freedom yeah especially especially with what we do, me. Go research this stuff. There's some stuff that I think most people are like, okay, that's

3:07:52 people from hundreds of different why did they pass it because the woman who did is an insane and then people will be in her mentions like, for anybody to reply to her i'm like That's the business. That is the business model. That was the whole plan. That's the business. It feels like Mad Max already a little. well i hope they're right i hope so too but people still live there in the 70s even though it's

3:10:44 yeah that was the most ridiculous proposal of all time biden's talking about that today though wealth tax and then oh i don't know the wealth tax is something they were gonna that died yeah So if you leave today, you owe money for 10 more years. biden you will not by the way he didn't write this you will not pay a penny more in taxes when i'm And they left years ago because they're like, it's too expensive for us to try and get ahead and have kids and these mom and pops that are getting

3:12:36 You're looking at me like, really big though it's almost they're unmanageable when they get really big and they're always when Detroit was one of the richest cities in the world. was a real populist yeah you know and it's funny how he became a villain when he had this movie this this coffee shop that's been there since forever close and there's a Starbucks next door and like they're fine.

3:15:09 we need a more robust middle class you know if i that's what we need to cultivate in california if Thank you. It's past four. You're not a follower. and i want out don't be stupid i just don't know where i want to go it's better here maybe i'll go
