46:41 They're just regular people, man. And those people exist outside of these blue bubbles where everyone's gone insane. way more left than I am right. the letting people out San Francisco, most of San Francisco is emptied out of like big chain stores and big department But you'd have to have some hardcore Rudy Giuliani type motherfucker I never thought I would ever say that

48:18 It's got all 100% right. And some of these religious beliefs, it gets into these weird gray areas, like trans people in women's bathrooms. Never even cared about it didn't care at all. Yeah, I mean whatever you are. I'll give a shit There's always these people that want to live completely outside of the norm of this is a ship where people logically work through things and this is a ship that's adjusted by the

51:16 You use things like gender-affirming care. yeah you can't say any And they have, they know traditional moves. You want to do it? tribe that was called the Heyoka and Heyoka was the sacred clown and that Because if you can make fun of something and it's not funny, then you're not funny. didn't ever want it but i wouldn't like go back in my past and change anything right i wouldn't

54:18 it was fucking terrible. head. Crows would... Anyway, knock on Asians. Yeah. Let's be honest. Johnny Yoon was before him. You're very good. And I thought maybe I could only do it once every five years, but then your people said that I could do it when I... I'm going to text you. All right. You really should because it will also force you to write more and fuck around more.

56:36 the budget is an alien budget right so it's cheesy television right but if the concept you know i I'm sure it's okay. Yeah. That's crazy. So good. The way they had it set up, And also the combination of artificial people and real people. And they also kept some of the old school Cylons there too, but the new school ones were like you couldn't tell yeah

58:29 He's amazing. It really flew under the radar. I'm telling you, the inner light rivals it. In terms of like entertainment? Yeah, what's something like you just loved? My favorite sci-fi movie? Oh, shit. In terms of entertainment? And that was also the first time there was a female action star that you didn't feel like they were that killed everybody else on her

1:00:09 one was so clever and so fast and so sneaky yeah yeah and then all of a sudden they're not It didn't make any sense. All the above. those alien things are. and I fast forward? Yeah, I don't want to experience it. Yeah, those are crazy. Cats grab you by the neck and they fucking kill you. Oh, really? It depends on what, well, A really angry mouse, you'd probably

1:02:42 If they're there to scare you away Was in the Bahamas, got bit. tears you apart wow yeah you you if you're gonna shoot it with a gun you want a large caliber You don't have the physical movement time capable of dealing with how fast it's coming at you. They just hold you down and start eating. I know. I bombed for five minutes and that seems like 20 minutes.

1:05:06 Do you bomb anymore? Boy, I bombed on those shows. Because sometimes people are trying to trip you up. Randomly. And then that bit, you get home and you listen to it and you write it down. I'm forcing myself to do it. So when I'm in town, because I just know Do sets other places. I know you're saying that, Oh, well, yeah. was like i'll i'll stop at 12 and i'll go to bed but i caught an idea i caught an idea and i wrote

1:07:51 but that was productive. It's terrible. Do you do that? And I got to throw that bitch on stage and see where it goes. it's fun yeah yeah yeah it's fine but it's it's also it's hard but you gotta you know you gotta But there's nothing wrong with like sitting. I'm on a planet Right? but for some reason That's what I'm going to do. You could just write something about something and then try to extract funny things out of

1:11:31 write an essay just write an essay and write an essay with no expectation of whether or not it's And then later you look at it, you know what I mean? There's something about walking, they say, because it's like a very mild aerobic exercise, so it stimulates your circulation. You're actually walking around. Hike after you. So from this day forth, You went off the rails.

1:13:21 a podcast called Bad Friends. 14 years ago maybe oh oh okay yeah okay 12 14 i don't know and i go why i don't want to do a show Okay. They told you you have to, and they didn't say anything about that before you left? Yeah. 2006. I'm like, I have to tweet? You know what I mean? go on in the comment section it's got really uncomfortable and then I just

1:16:13 How old's that wall? Nice. I was just like. It was like a free thing. You know what I mean? That I'm keeping to myself. When you look at the video of when they do an overhead of what Gaza used to look like and what it looks like now. Yeah. It's nuts, man. It's nuts and it's so dangerous. It's so dangerous. These free Palestine marches that are happening all over the world, those are all organized too, by the way.

1:19:02 Which is undeniably horrific horrific and this, and then on top of that, I never thought it was going to be an issue And then when the congresswoman 2001 i was on mad tv 9 11 happened i went to work the next day and Andrew Daly, one of the actors, his cousin was on one of the flights. Oh, Jesus. It changed America. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and most of it's like embezzled, right?

1:21:42 between Candace Owens and the New York Times Like, what the fuck are you even saying? I don't know nothing. Are we going to – and then Biden says we're not going to do anything. It's not that guy, right? So if it's not you think about when you lay in bed at night? legitimately think I mean, I feel it in the air. And I remember seeing that going, I got to get the fuck out of here.

1:24:21 It was nice, but it was the freedom. It was these fucking dipshits, like the mayor of Los Angeles, telling everybody what businesses they can and can't have open, what's essential and non-essential. Of course you did. I hugged my kids. I got it when the Delta variant was around. But my point is, like, my whole family got it, and I didn't get it. I was like, you know what?

1:26:30 regular workout. So whatever it was, I fought it off. And so then I was like, well, what is at play So I was going to get vaccinated in two weeks. And in the two weeks they pulled it. They pulled the Johnson and Johnson for blood clots. And two people I knew got strokes. Two people. Two people. Comorbidities. I mean, it's a bad cold. never going to stop transmission, that it was never going to stop

The times in my past when I've caught a cold or caught the flu, His body was weakened by a bender. There's a lot of different things that were at play there. It relies on vitamins and nutrients, healthy diet, exercise. Yeah. totalitarian authoritarian tactics they were limiting people's livelihood limiting people's ability to travel

1:31:38 You're looking towards a winter of Because it's control. He's not in control right now, right? So if the people who are in control are in control right now, why would they want to swap out a new person? All you have to do is get that other guy arrested a ton of times. If you just say that enough, the people that are uninformed and aren't paying attention,

1:33:55 OK. I know Trump apparently released a whole bunch of documents showing irregularities, showing Hillary claimed that she won. But the difference is that Al, though, went, okay, I'm going to concede and— I think the Al Gore, George Bush one went on for quite a while, if I remember correctly, Well, this was when it was okay to deny the election because it was Republican that was in office
