21:01 He was making a few inappropriate jokes, apparently. I agree with you. Are you really? That was the first album they ever dropped. It's like you can't go on Rogan and Joey Diaz. My favorite one is when I go out on tour and I see a sea of just like like dude you know bros I think they're just going home and blowing each other Yeah. What'd you do tonight?

23:40 I think I'm kind of, I'm hoping to get some of the women back with this. Like, for example, the woman who made me write Fuck You Bitch had that much power over me to make me write that fucking song. which is basically women talking about no one's really done that before. and then my phone starts blowing up. was that fucking popular. Yeah. and I can't, you know.

26:27 I love it. Like I've been doing them all over the phone because all the musicians I want to talk to Like Sam Harris does a good podcast over Skype. So, when you started touring from your last last album and it was this just out of the I didn't have any way to release it. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing a West Coast tour for?

Did they? there was a sketch on snl near the end of the season i don't know if you saw it but it was

We can't stop non- He handled a bunch of politicians Yeah, President Kanye coming up. It's entirely possible he might do it. That he could just say, I don't like what you're doing. people about old wheel walker jr is you know country

35:18 doing it out of the country it's like you can't leave the country and talk shit about america His whole album is just version of the world and there's things that are expected and then there's things that are just and I, I heard worse talk about this I'm not grabbing the pussy, They let you grab him by the pussy. It's not that something I'd heard, so it was new.

40:31 All these lies and rumors. You know, he's saying like, you know, these stories. It's also the bias of the people that are writing the stories who are heavily left wing. I'm going to stop now. What were we just talking about? Because that would, you know. Because isn't that still top secret? And rather, all the stuff that he's talking about is top secret.

43:25 real simple he didn't want to be the one who was making the statement and the way he described that going to have a hit book and they're like, you know, Brad Pitt's going to play them in You know, he's still tweeting about, like, I was like, can we do all the debates like this? I fucking love this. covered in blood, what did you think? ted nugent holding up obama's head like it's over dude like well ted nugent did at one point in time

45:50 Well, I didn't know to get attention. I mean, this is not, you're not talking about like guillotines in medieval France. And then she was like celebrating I mean, no one's saying she didn't have the right to do it. And the second I saw that picture, I go, do me a favor. Yeah. Okay. I don't remember their names, but it was a defense of the intent behind it, which I agree with.

49:11 Yeah. That's what he said. Yeah, he was trying to be naughty. He's probably working very hard. Uh, no. And it wasn't funny. His show is important to him. out talking derogatory. And the idea that that word exists in countless rap songs, but you can't sing along to those rap songs? You know how I know that? Backwards shit, yeah. why don't the hip-hop guys and why don't just all those like jay-z or some big guy go fuck this we

53:13 Nah, I don't think so. Yeah, it's stupid. let's reach the people fuck up you know yeah you premiered on porn hub which is hilarious how did that come about um i reached i uh what happened was my be the first guy to premiere country music video on Pornhub. people i could tell you that came up to me like i first heard about you because they don't want

55:57 Ah! Yeah, I was like, at 5 o'clock, the numbers fucking just shot through the roof. There would just be the Wheeler Walker section. off it's all day it's like i wake up in the middle of the night to like a buzz yeah your phone's just I didn't like how she winced when it went in her ass. Thanks for the heads up. I believe in fake news. And he presses the button and it comes out.

58:31 Now, do you think you're going to have more songs that come out on Pornhub, They're looking to get through your webcam. But they got their money's worth, I guess. I guess they're just, Australia, they don't give a fuck? Oh, it's a long trip, but you would sell out over there. But here's the thing, weed's Kentucky, you know, my home state, is the place

1:00:42 It's less pervious. It was basically what's like what's that crazy movie? It was basically the accuracy now Yeah, it's fucking... Anything she gave some sort of a speech and in that speech Their opinions aren't real their opinions are their strategic sort of uh conglomeration of ideas that they think are going to serve them well when they go out in public that's that's what their opinions forget

1:02:51 so there's no way to really do it right now. and they're like, what? Look, there's a lot of gross shit that goes along with law enforcement bourbon on the side and go across the country and back and that's fine but which you can advertise I was fucking excited about some fucking marijuana money. the mental mortgage that you have to pay He's been arrested before.

1:05:28 you're going yeah but yeah i don't think i've gotten off stage once and there hasn't been a It's LSD in spray form. I don't actually like, I'm not a big Grateful Dead fan, but there's a documentary out now about him that was like, it's pretty crazy watching them in the old fucking days. Well, people just dosed people back then, I think it was super common because they joked around about it.

1:07:15 as I would have because I would have thought he was dicking around. If I go to the bar and get a drink and I'll come back with two drinks. Yeah. Well, I won't take a drink if I don't know who it is and someone just hands it to me i don't know where yeah that you know that happens a lot too they'll Men say they passed out, woke up hours later, but she had gone.

1:08:49 You fucked up. week you tried that dumb asses you got you got tricked by a 20 year old you fucking rookies i might want to it's almost like it's almost like you almost want to like It's pretty fucking evil, yeah. Yeah, you get raped. No, I'm good. You know what they call specifics? But yeah. Ted Kaczynski, out of that dude. it i think he was coming up with a drug to induce labor i think that was the original premise behind

1:12:04 It's like a black and white footage from i want to say like the 50s yeah there was a lot of that That's a lot of acid, man. That's how I feel. What does it sound like? Fucking dirty hippies. They would sell bracelets and shit. that they were making kind of trippy kind of country, I can eat some fucking spicy food. I'm putting a habanero sauce on everything.

1:15:45 It hurt, but it fucking helped. because you're just kind of like can't believe you got it down. small a tiny little thimble full of i was like this is so little then like just try it just try And then I remember sitting on the toilet just like, I was apologizing to my asshole for what I'd done to it Which way would you go? Honestly, I think at that point I would have just probably just shit your pants. No no i would have taken i didn't i probably wouldn't want to ruin my pants i probably would have just

1:18:12 Yeah, it's one of the rare things and you maybe you know is like find a good place it's all about finding a good place to shit There's like a, you know, you're just like, this is what I'm here for. before you sit down. and the 70s. That was like the thing. Truckers are one of the few people that definitely still have CD players. Yeah, there's a lot of people out there just, I mean, if you're stuck in a truck for fucking 12 hours, you need some goddamn content.

1:20:34 What is that, Jamie? It's the luxury Oh, there's the thing. Yeah, you're not supposed to shit in those things. They need to get these ergonomic chairs for driving a car. You could sit in this. Yeah. That makes sense. They say women with big tits. What's that? Yeah, yeah, it's probably annoying as hell. I get it They would say Milton Berle would just whip his hog out just to settle everybody the fuck down.

1:23:50 So just once, for the record, Milton, No. Even recently at 88. I had a friend, and one of her friends worked at a nursing home, their whole fucking game. Oh yeah, changed the game. But here's the thing It's not good, but it's also you have less responsibility, And they probably remember 20, 30 years ago when they were young and hot. Probably someone's coming by trying to change the will, get them to sign some shit.

1:26:44 Oh, dude. money? Like, really? those really rich guys, and all of a sudden there'll be, like, women that that you leave some some money in the will you get my last album broke even you're gonna number for physical. It was like He brought me in War Porn, but you it? Oh, it's Everlast. He brought me in War Porn. Yeah, man, you got to fix the font on that shit.

1:29:10 I'm fucking pissed at Spotify right now. Some people just go on Spotify to listen to, like, country hits, you know. eating pussy kicking ass became the number one country playlists and shit? on the fucking playlist because I say Yeah, they do podcasts. They didn't want to pay you? Because I don't... Like the benefit of Spotify is the same benefit you would get from radio, except it's streaming, except it's in real time, right?

1:31:43 Diplo is a popular producer and he has an updated hip-hop list. like this this album's going to be in the top 10 they won't fucking play it paid, yeah. just off of the streams being played of silence But there is someone, you didn't steal it from YouTube or whatever. That seems ridiculous. that's saying you want to hear it. what you're doing is you're selling or distributing other people's work.

1:34:29 you don't really sell anything. Video is, you know, God, what kind of fucking, where a museum is a building the other day other people's shows back in the old now they have original content now they have your like people the distributor like i gave you permission it kept getting tagged or something right yeah channel would they flag it would comedy central flag it uh maybe but they they would they would

1:37:29 I'll always be like, yeah, sure. Because my distribution goes through this distribution company. Because you know you're doing this podcast now. take it to YouTube or wherever do i do i do i try to you know rip them off on the fucking price of the music no because i want telling well guess what your last couple been netflix right my last one was netflix my one

1:40:15 Now I do, yeah. Yeah, it was yesterday. about it i found out about it from people sending sending it to me i already knew you were doing you were the first guy that figured out sort of the andrew dice clay approach to stand-up comedy It was like, because country music is so serious and the people are so serious. I want a girl in a cowboy hat, her tongue knows where my butthole's at.
