Yeah, 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.120 and it's a I want to hear your trajectory come 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.600 from Seattle. So we I'm an LA guy, I was 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.600 in the Bay Area for a long time. We both 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.760 like nice coffees. I'm sure we'll get into that. And 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.200 then yet it feels like we're looking around here and 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.960 everyone else is completely crazy, and you find yourself here 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.800 working with Prager, you doing conservative podcasts. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:35.039 Give me some of the arc. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.319 Well, I will say that I've said this plenty of 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.640 times that the party changed. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.840 Being a Democrat changed, That's what changed. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.080 Was Like I'm a two thousand and one liberal, which 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.120 is just a Republican now, which in this town is 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:48.520 a Nazi. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.200 I'm pretty sure. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:54.360 Like that's that's kind of like to just stay committed 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.280 to your political parties no matter how much it's evolved, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.040 is more of a statement of the person. Yeah, it's like, wait, 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.120 you've adopted all these ideas as your party's changed. Like 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.240 when I was in Seattle, big Pharma, you would never 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.880 have agreed with vaccines in big farm. It was almost 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.120 like this hippie kind of democratic thing to be like, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.359 we don't trust these giant corporations like Johnson and Johnson 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.079 and Pfizer. And then jump cut to twenty twenty and 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.600 everyone's like, you don't trust Pfiser? 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.280 What are you? 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.040 A Republican? You're like, how did this get conflated? So 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.880 the party has changed. And also I have gotten older 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.200 and grown up a little bit, so I'm not as 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.080 naive as a young liberal Jeff was, is all. And 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.799 so I started in Seattle doing comedy, and I've always 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.640 been a Christian. I've always been a pretty conservative guy. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:52.240 I am a straight white male, but I'm very I 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.800 am very to each their own guy. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:54.480 Yeah, you know. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.080 I just want everyone to get along. I want everyone 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.600 to like me. And so when I was in Seattle, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.519 I would kind of hide my Jesus views or I 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.280 would hide my conservative ideas in the interest of just 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.400 trying to get along. I just want everyone to get along. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.359 And then I moved to Los Angeles. I was still 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.240 kind of doing that, but then when COVID happened is 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.360 when I was like, I'm not doing this anymore. Too 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040 many things were happening at once. Black Lives Matter was 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.880 gaslighting the entire earth, COVID was saying we have to 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.160 get mandated vaccines even though my body my choice. There 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.840 was just too many things at once that made me. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.359 That biocracy that was that's such a good one. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.080 It's just like my body by choice, crowd. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.280 But also get triple jabbed right or else you can't go. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.760 To noboo Malibu. It makes it. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.760 Yeah. And the mask thing, I mean, like, and what's 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.840 ironic too, is that nowadays even Democrats will look back 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.920 and be like, uh, isn't that crazy that like we 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.080 we would believe like a mask would be able to 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.880 protect us when we went to a restaurant, but once 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.840 we sat in the booth, we could take the mask off, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.680 like what a polite virus? 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.920 You know. But we're all laughing at that. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.160 But I'm like, but I saying that's dumb then, And 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.880 you guys didn't even want to be my friend because 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.200 of it. You guys thought I was a bad person 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.680 for making the same observation that we're making six years later. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.560 So that that's when I had like a mental breakdown 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:16.200 politically and socially. And that's what started, you know me 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.320 really going. I guess I'm not a Democrat. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.320 So you're in the comedy circles, you're touring, you got 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.799 dates jeffdie dot com for those you got a podcast. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.440 We're talking about some of the stuff you've been doing 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.839 for Prager, you which which is very cool. But you 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.920 and I are very similar in a certain way in 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.760 that we're both open about our faith. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.680 I'm a Catholic. I talk about it on the show. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.080 But I also think that sanitized art is generally bad 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.120 and is not working. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:40.880 And I think that I'm. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.000 Very critical of Hollywood taking a lot of the sex 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:43.520 out of movies. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:44.320 I think it's been bad. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.480 I think the more seckless movies are not appealing to people. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.279 I think pandering to China has not worked. Your comedy 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.159 is not is not PG rated. It is a you 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.160 go for a uti. Yeah, And so I want you 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.000 to square that because I squeare it. But I feel 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.040 like I'm sort of alone in this regard that you 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.840 will hear me have two conversations about me the Eastern 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.160 math with my kids, back to back with something that 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.760 is not Eastern. Shall we say you work all this 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.520 in your routine. I feel like you might be like 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.400 the only guy doing it. Are there other people out there? 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.120 You feel like coming from this vantage point. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:17.840 No, I don't know if there's other people, or if 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.560 there are, I'm just not aware of them. But I 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.800 think that I have a real commitment to truth or 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.919 being real. I think that that people can smell that 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:25.599 in other people. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:26.480 Yes, when you. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.919 Start to put something on you like morning television, feels 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.760 very corny and those are nice people, but it feels 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.120 somehow fake or somehow just everyone putting his artificial front 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.360 is oh oh. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.200 Like we'll say like a naughty word and they. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.320 Go, oh WHOA Like I hate that kind of fakeness, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.000 and churches kind of always had that. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:46.960 I went to my buddy's church in Nashville. 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.840 Shout out to Chris and his wife Abby, and I 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.719 went with there on a few weeks ago in Nashville 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.200 to the church. But that's just being myself and people 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:55.800 were like, what's up. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:56.680 Man, Like, how's it going to? 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.360 Like? I was just talking the way I talk, And 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.800 in my mind it's like, I don't change the way 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.159 I speak just because of what building I'm in. 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:06.320 I'm just Jeff. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.800 I like Jeff, and Jeff's gonna be Jeff and not 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:09.640 everyone's gonna like that. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:10.080 That's okay. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.800 Yeah, But you know, in a church, on myself, on stage, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.720 on myself, whether I'm talking to a black person or 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.640 a little kid or a elderly woman, I'm just me. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.120 I treat everyone and I'm just gonna be sincere in that. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.320 And so that's the way I justify my faith is 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.400 like I love Jesus Christ. I have a phenomenal relationship 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.960 with my creator. It's all I think about most of 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.080 my day. It's what I've been thinking about since I 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.159 was a little teen, trying to figure out why we're here, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.320 and it is in every vein of my life. However, 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.479 that doesn't mean I don't I'm not a human, you're 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.440 You're a man. You're a human man. We're both flawed, 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:47.480 we're full of sins. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:52.400 I love breasts and hot chicks. And I think it's 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.120 funny when. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.320 A fact oh falls down, Yeah yeah, oh genuinely said 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.359 he likes hot chicks. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.520 How are we gonna deal with that? 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.800 But like we like, you know, making fun of something 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.440 on the internet, like we're human beings. Yeah, And I 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.360 think that maybe it's not us as much as the 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.240 way we're being perceived. That is the problem, is that 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.880 they want to put a label on it. But like, 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.040 but aren't you christian? You were talking about having sex, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.640 aren't you Christian? It's like, well, that's interesting that you're 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.000 trying to put me into a little thing, which is 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.360 probably like the number one human problem in my opinion, 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.239 is that we're so quick to just put. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.600 A label on things. It's the worst. 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.120 Yeah, we go, oh, well, he's woke, and now we 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.160 don't have to deal with him because we've labeled him 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.920 this woke thing, which we think is bad, right, or 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.520 you go, he's maga, and. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:39.360 You all it's maga. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.880 So now we don't even have to like treat them 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.280 as people because they're just maga or they're just woke, 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.520 or they're just crazy, or they're just a fascist, or 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.240 they're just a racist, and whatever label you've put on it, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.840 you now don't have to address them. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.840 As human beings. And I would argue all of. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.200 Those people in those camps or categories are worth talking 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.960 to and listening to, including something as bad as being racist. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.080 Why are we so mean to racists? I'm being honest, Like, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.000 let's talk to them, let's reform them. And tell them, hey, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.440 stop being racist. Let's talk about this. Do you really 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.120 believe that, like, let's like you, you should love a 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.120 racist and try to make them not racist. Yeah, you 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.560 don't just immediately to beat them up and say that 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.440 they're evil and shoot them in the neck on television, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:22.280 like you. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.360 We should be nice. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.040 And kind to all the people, no matter what label 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:27.960 we've slapped on them. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.200 Yeah, and this is it's just very lazy thinking. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.600 I'll move on and get back to reels and get 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.000 back to you know, cooking the scruples, scrolling. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.839 And you get to dismiss something. Yeah, yeah, you move 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:37.520 on very quickly. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.559 So here's one thing that I think that you know, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.800 at bright part, we were in the cutting edge of 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.920 Trump and trump Ism, and I really saw the authenticity. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.040 I got to know him a little bit. 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.480 Beforehand, and I thought when he missed, he would miss honestly. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.760 And I know that he uses all sorts of tactics 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.319 that are dishonest in the moment, but overall, it's a 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.400 very authentic package that he's presenting, and that moment felt 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.880 like it was here. But now I'm feeling us pull 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.680 back from that moment, and I'm seeing more performative personalities 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.920 get elevated in our society, people who are not coming 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.280 from an authentic place. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:10.720 I'm a little fearful of this. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.840 Do you agree with me that you're seeing this happen, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.800 that you're seeing more composites in our very virtual digital age. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.640 I feel like a lot of the personalities that are 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.000 the hottest personalities are people who are They're not leading 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.880 with their own authenticity, their own personality. They're actually sort 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.560 of following algorithms in a way to create an artificial persona. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.880 And I hate this because I'm someone who likes art 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.719 and I love when I see a movie. I want 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.120 to see an autour movie from a director. I want 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.640 to if I'm listening to music, don't I don't care 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.280 about Kanye West tweets. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:41.680 I don't care about his tweets. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.679 I care that he's doing interesting, authentic stuff with his music. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.720 Somebody I don't like as much, but some of it 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:48.079 I love. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.160 And we're not going to get the ones we love 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.679 unless we can tolerate the ones we don't love. I 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.320 thought we all agreed on this stuff, and then all 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.199 of a sudden, we stopped agreeing on It feels like 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.840 a few years ago, and then now we just stopped. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.320 Well, I just think it's more crap, right, that's what 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.559 you're seeing. You're just seeing that there's way more garbage, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.760 you know, and so that's what you're observing. But the 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.480 truth is that the truth tellers or you know, I 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.600 know that sounds like a cliche, but the people who 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.680 are real or the people who are true artists like 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.600 a Kanye West or or Drew Ski in comedy, like 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.000 those kind of people, they're still the greatest. They're still 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.920 the greats, and they're still able to be out there. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.800 Joe Rogan seeking truth and being able to talk to 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.080 people and just have honest conversations no matter where they're 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.200 from or what they do. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:32.440 That's winning. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.880 You know, Joe's still the number one podcast, Drewski still 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.800 rising to the top. Kanye literally did his best to 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.440 ruin his legacy and he's still the number one like 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.920 selling you know, ticket and these performance centers, and so 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.400 I think we're just witnessing there's a lot more garbage 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.679 because now everyone's famous. Now my wife's my buddy's wife 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.520 is famous, you know, and like everybody's got oh look 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:55.959 how many views I got the girl that cut my 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.640 hair this morning, was telling me about how she went viral. 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.040 I mean, like everyone's famous. Now, yeah, that is. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.240 That's what we're witnessing, is that nobody wants to actually work. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.040 Everybody thinks they should be a celebrity. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.760 I also think my haircutter is more famous than I am. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.200 I think that is. I think that is. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.480 I know, I think that's true. No, it's on camera 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:12.839 too much. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.160 I get like a fantasy celebrity haircut, like the. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.760 Person it's you know, there's no free ads on the show. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.839 We can give Adrian a shout out. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.240 We give Adrian a shout out mit Chae Salon and 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.920 Beverly Hills, like if you want to do that, Like, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.640 that's fine, he cuts, It's good, it's good stuff, It's good. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.679 We're just shouting, just a friend, this is a. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.360 Real hair podcast, Like we know that, we know that, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.960 we knew this was a hair podcast. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.520 She doesn't need any more help, but I'm helping her. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.000 A lot of people ask me, Alex, can you still 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.560 trust the institutions that hold your money? We talk about 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.280 de banking all the time on the show. People and 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.599 organizations quietly losing access to financial services simply because of 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.360 who they are or what they believe. It even happened 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.400 to Malania and Baron Trump just last year. That's one 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.640 of the reasons I partnered with three sixteen Finance. It's 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.520 an online bank creative for people who want their banking 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.880 institutions to align with their values, especially at a time 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.080 when trust in major financial systems is eroding, and for 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.120 good reason. One thing I genuinely respect about their model 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.000 is that they actually bake in a sort of tithing 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:16.480 of sorts. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:17.280 It's not a gimmick. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.559 They give ten percent of their money back to values 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.560 based organizations, and it's the sort of thing that I 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.240 think is just really high integrity and really struck me 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.640 about the brand from a practical standpoint. It's also a 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.200 very good bank that delivers everything you want, no monthly fees, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.440 free ATMs nationwide, and super competitive interest rates across their 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.040 account So you can make some money right now. When 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.480 you open a three sixteen financial account and maintain an 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.559 average balance of five thousand dollars for ninety days, they'll 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.800 add two hundred and fifty dollars to your account.

I got a booked like six weeks 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:09.720 into days. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.160 True, yeh, she gets too successful. Then she's like, I'm 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:12.880 booked all week. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.640 That's so funny. No, he's going to love that this 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:15.720 came up on the show. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.000 So this is anyway the uh even though that every 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.080 other person who's Harry Cutts is left wing radical so 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.600 oh yeah, oh yeah, of course. No, he's always filling 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.240 me in on all the hot got. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.679 You know what so and so said, yeah, yeah, they 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.160 had an anti ice shirt. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.280 Well, this is the problem is that now if anyone 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.400 hears about this, but there's too much content, so not 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.200 everyone will hear about this. But if anyone were to 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:37.960 hear about this, then they would stop talking to him. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.840 But I'd stop getting some of the some of the 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.280 information I got my sources out there. All right, So 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.599 you guys are listening to Jeff I, I want to 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.920 I don't want to miss this while we're fresh and 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.120 I know you gave me a lot of time today, 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.079 which is fantastic. But you just put out a mockumentary 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.959 with prager You, which you guys can go to prager 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.559 you dot com. Everyone knows what a huge supporter I 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.400 am of preger You. I get to sit on Dennis's 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.199 set every day to do live radio, and I've been 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.040 a fan of Dentist for twenty years, who's just the 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.760 absolute best. So the I hate prager You micro entry. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.720 It's legitimately hilarious. I laughed out loud, which is great, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.640 and it tells a story. I want to get to 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.040 some of it. I want to encourage people to go 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.960 to prager you dot com and watch it. It's like 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.520 twenty five minutes, which I think is super cool because 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.280 it's a guest. Sometimes come in and they have a 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:23.680 book and I want to read the book. I try 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.560 to read every book that's like a forty eight hour 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.320 it's nice. I got it like a twenty three minutes. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.120 It's a comedy like that. I can handle. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.280 That's easy. But I want to talk about you. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.640 How do you found praguer you because you don't have children, correct, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.320 and you are I know a lot of your audience 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.960 is comedy. Guys is going to be younger people, but 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:47.840 you are reaching a specifically conservative, younger audience with your time. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.200 That's a bold move for a working popular comic. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.840 Yeah, but I mean I think things are all knowing, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.960 are all truth, you know, so like whatever age you are, whatever, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.960 where the things are, Like, I think if it's good, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.160 it's good, and people are. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.360 There are no children anymore. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.920 Really, my niece is in fifth grade and she'll like 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.880 FaceTime me to yell about tariffs and billionaires. I mean, 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.400 there's no kids anymore anyways. So if they're all on 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.600 the internet anyways, I think Brager used a great place 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.840 for them to go. Not to mention, a lot of 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.720 my friends are morons, you know. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.920 Like see, this is the thing with guys that when 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.560 guys have real guy friends, you can say just flat 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.640 out like, dude, I love you and we're gonna go 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.160 on a trip. We're going on a golf trip this 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.040 weekend and we have a great time. But you are stupid, dude, for. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.480 Really, Like, I have a ton of friends they know 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.000 nothing about anything, and then they'll go on like rants 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.640 about things here. But you're dumb, and you know you're dumb. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.880 I know you're dumb, and so I think Bregier use 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.520 a good place for all ages. You can watch a 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.640 video and go, oh yeah, maybe open borders is a 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.880 bad idea. That doesn't mean you go around being racist 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.120 or you hate people that are legal immigrants, but like 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.600 you can have a smart, nuanced opinion about something that 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.240 all your dumb friends are just goingf ice like this 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.560 is such a like you we need to look into 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.360 these things. And I think that Pregger he does a 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.680 fantastic job whether you're a kid or a teenager or 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.320 a college age or an adult watching a simple video 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.920 breaking down how something is like oh this is interesting, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.440 or that's the history on this, and there's no motive. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.520 History is wildly conservative. It's in the past, you know, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.880 it's a thing, and so like some things are facts. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.480 It's not like Prager, you can manipulate the history. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:30.520 It just is. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.720 If Prager you could manipulate the history, they might want 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.160 to go, hey, slavery didn't happen, that was all. No, 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.280 they have to address all the things that are actually 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.160 in history. So Pregger, you kind of found me from 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.800 being on Gutfeld and leaning into it more of the 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.200 conservative side. Of things, and so they asked me if i'd, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.600 you know, like to, you know, work on this project. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.640 I gave it a peek and I loved it right away. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.960 We use my middle name right because my name is 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.320 Jeffrey Alden, so in the in the thing, we call 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.400 them Alden and I. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:01.480 Was excited to make it. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.280 It's also a testament to Praguer you how good they 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.920 are like cutting something together. It looks great because when 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.280 we were shooting that, I didn't know how I was 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.800 going to turn and it turned out fantastic. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.240 It's efficient, it's sharp, and the first five minutes they 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.200 cut it is legitimately hilarious. I had to challenge anyone 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.360 in the audience. It's super quick. And then the story 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.399 is really cool, especially from my perspective because we were 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.239 the original conservative outlet that everyone tried to cancel with 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.200 a deep dive reporting. Is that you play a left 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.920 wing reporter who's trying to just destroy Praguer You. That's 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.000 the whole goal. That's the premise, and there's an arc 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.800 that's involved. I need to give away the whole arc, 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.520 but it is a really great premise. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.680 Who came up with it? What was the writing process? 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:42.159 Right for you. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:42.560 Yeah. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.040 I don't know who, like specifically at Prigger You wrote it, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.400 but they brought it to me as like a full thing. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:50.680 It was just like do you want to be this guy? 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.080 And I was like sure, Yeah. So I'm not sure 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.920 who specifically wrote it, but the idea is there's actually 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.960 people who work at Pregger You who initially hated Prey 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.280 or you. Xavier for examples over there, like he has 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.680 in VLM protests and he was like pretty aggressive aggressively 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.600 against conservatives because everything he's been told is that like 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:16.760 Republicans are racists, and Republicans hate anyone that isn't a nationalist, 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.520 and they they're they're America first because they have all 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.439 these ill will towards all these socialists or whatever. You know. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.320 They've been told all these lies about Republicans and then 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.400 when you started to like just scratch the surface a little, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.119 you go, oh, maybe not, you know, And that's what 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.240 has happened for a lot of people at Breaker You. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.439 And so that was kind of the premise for the 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:35.359 for the mocumentary. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.360 Yeah, and this is something that I've just lived through 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.879 personally so many times, where people think they understand what 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.120 we're doing and then if they actually spent an hour, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.480 not even hours and a half an hour, just like 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.040 reading our headlines, you start seeing the math that I'm 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.480 it is all like our bias a bright bart which 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.480 is very open. We talk about our America first conservatism. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.479 But it's all in topic selection. And I'll tell you that, 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.879 like I'm selecting, I'm laying on a narrative based on 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.919 facts like I'm but they're all true. Everything is true, 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.239 and I don't take supply full context. Everyone asks to 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.359 supply full contests in my newsroom, and it is something 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.120 that is totally honest and above board. And yet people 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.200 act like we're just manipulators as fake news. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:14.880 And then the left wing journals they. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.520 Go on the website and like, actually, these are kind 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:17.520 of accurate stories. 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.040 I just I wish you would play. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.240 Up more of the negative opinion I might hold or 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:24.040 I'm not gonna do. 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.240 And then people figure it out like, oh, this isn't 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:27.359 so bad, and you do win. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.800 A lot of converts that way, and a lot of 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.120 people I know don't agree with us read us because 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.760 it's actually a good insight into what do maga people 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.080 care about in the news that day. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:36.840 Sure trigger you is stuff. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.360 It's not mostly political, it's mostly about God, it's about country, 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.000 it's about history. I'd go for the history videos like 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.280 I watched history, because I don't have a categorical memory 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:49.239 for that stuff. I'll bone up on I need a 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.600 few now talking points. What's a better place to get 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.800 a few maw talking points than whatever pager use got 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.919 up on. Yeh, absolutely, So what was the what was 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.080 the you find? You found yourself with them? They reached 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.240 out because you're on Guff album. Yeah, so in your 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.679 arc of politics, did you feel like you were a 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.280 liberal at some point and that became I. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:10.560 Don't think I was ever a liberal. 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.160 I think that I believed I was a liberal, if 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.760 that makes sense, of course. I also I don't know 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.840 how well I'm gonna be able to articulate this idea, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.480 but you know, so forgive me. But I think everyone's 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.199 a lot more conservative than they pretend to be. You know, 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:27.360 you could find the most egregious like sex positive, like oh, 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.960 I'm a I'm the wildest girl at the bar, and 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.520 then once you start hanging out with her, she's gonna 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:34.040 get mad. 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:35.479 If you start hooking up with other girls. 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.320 You know, no matter how like liberal and like whatever, 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.399 Like she's she's gonna be like, hey, maybe just me 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:40.800 and you. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.000 And you go, oh, that's real conservative. Yeah, I thought 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:44.680 you were, Polly. It's like, you know, like. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:51.080 People are more conservative than they pretend to be. And 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.240 I think when you're young, it's you don't want to 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.600 be your parents Republican. You don't want to be old 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.119 and conservative. You want to look young and wild. But 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.880 even the most young and wild want to feel safe, right, 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.000 And they don't want to look the homeless guy in 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.200 the eye, and they they want to like so, you. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.399 Know, they like the idea of that the town is 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.920 an overrun by criminals and homeless. That's not a political statement, 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.240 that's just a general humans like that stuff. It's less 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.280 pleasant when there's a homeless camp across from your the JW. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.200 Marriott in downtown LA. Like, it's very which that exists. 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.720 And when I take my family to the Librea tar pits, 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:27.520 which I know this because you the great bit about 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.840 the Los Angeles Angels. Yeah, my version of this is 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:33.280 the Librea tarpets. You know what Librea means the tar Oh, 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:34.160 that's hilarious. 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:38.400 So the the tartar, the tartar feel free. 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.679 Feel I've using it. But Jeff is a great bit 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.560 the you guys can do the math in your head. 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.399 But uh, the Angels and Los Angeles Angels are really. 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.320 Good, really, the Los Angeles Angels, the Angels Angels. 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:51.760 Which I can't believe. 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.040 I walked this earth for thirty five years watching baseball 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:54.840 and never put that together. 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.720 And I had my Librea Tarpets. Hispanics put it together 0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:58.280 a lot clearer. 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.560 I just think that when you're young, you think you're 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.399 something that you maybe aren't right, and that's because you know, 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.359 we're always putting labels on ourselves, you know, like oh, 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.639 I'm a skateboarder, I'm a punk rock or I'm and so, 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.560 like I would wear the idea that like, oh I'm liberal, 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.000 like I'm a Democrat, but like when it was really 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.480 if you really think about it, like I've always just 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.479 wanted to be with one girl, I've I love Jesus Christ, 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:29.679 like I would probably lean towards Republican, but definitely a conservative, 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.920 you know, So I just that's I think I've always 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:33.160 kind of been conservative. 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.440 There's a nice, bright brow shout out and I hate 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.360 Prager you again, Prager you dot com if you guys 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:38.800 want to watch this, and you should. 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:39.720 It's entertaining. 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.040 But you use something that I think is really important, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.000 which is it makes praguer you, which I work with 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:44.520 all the time. 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:45.000 I feel like. 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:46.840 Normal people, and that's what we're normal people. 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:47.280 Bright part. 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:48.760 Everyone acts like we're an ab horns, like we're No, 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.639 we're like always shockingly normal.

There's nothing 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.359 wrong with these things? And I think that, like, slowly 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:07.119 we are starting to think as a society now you 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.560 should behave differently.

But I talk a lot about how 0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.800 the best coffee shops are in blue areas, for sure, 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:31.000 and I'm a coffee shop guy. And there's a great 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.399 scene I'm big enough. The movie almost too much now, 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:35.480 But it's the there's a scene where you're going to 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.240 blog in a coffee shop, and I blogged so many times. 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.480 In the coffee shop. I thought I felt. 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:44.200 Very see in that moment, do what I believe is 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:47.280 the Lord's work. Well, I've got my eyes latte there. 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.960 But so Republicans step up your coffee game. So what 0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:51.520 is this though? 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:52.199 What is going on? 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:53.080 Why can't we do? 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.040 Because my ultimate I think that the coolest thing I 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.399 could do if I was a trillionaire, make it an 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:00.800 amazing right wing city where we've all the cool people 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:04.399 are there, but we have the better restaurants and coffee shops. Like, 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.760 why can't we figure this out? Because it feels like 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:08.040 world's most obvious idea. 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:09.200 It's just a cultural thing. 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:13.680 It'd be like a democrat or not a democrat, sorry, 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.280 like a super like liberal person, like a super like 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.479 woke Antifa person being super into guns. 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:20.640 It's like there's. 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.919 Nowhere I can go to figure out guns, you know, 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.719 because these they are like militant and malicious style people. 0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.000 But like, where are they supposed to get gun trained? Now? 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:31.679 You know they're going everywhere I go it's military guys 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.960 and conservative guys with American flags, and I think that's 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:38.000 the same of coffee. It's just been so liberal for 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:41.080 so long. I mean, it's like we stole it from Europe, right, 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.200 like the culture. We kind of like stole the culture 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.920 from Europe, brought it to Seattle, brought it to Portland, 0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:46.840 brought it to all these. 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.200 The beans third world countries are making the best beans 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:51.399 and all. 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.639 Yeah, so we're coming in real late, you know, like 0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:56.080 these black Rifle coffee guys are going like, maybe now 0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.479 we'll get into it. It's twenty twenty.

It was 0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:15.560 a record, And I was with my six year old 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.720 in his Eastern pajamas and he's been confronted with some 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:23.720 real humanity and the coffee was just unbul unbelievable. 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:25.600 And I think it's also too like when it comes 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:29.480 to like coffee culture, like it's who cares about the coffee? Yeah? 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.280 Right, so like that person, no. 0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.840 Matter what they're going through in their life, whether they're 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:39.280 happy or crazy, they do love coffee and they take 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:40.760 a tremendous amount of pride. 0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:41.960 In making that coffee. 0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:44.760 And so like she's putting her she's putting her her 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:45.640 essence in there. 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:46.679 She really is. 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.159 And I'll tell you that this is not only do 0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:50.879 we a lot of do a lot of haircare humor 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.520 on the show, but it's also a coffee humor show 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.320 because I do a lot of Kyoto method jokes. A 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.400 you're familiar with the Kyoto method, this is a coldbrew 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:05.119 method where it's a tower and you put ice whatever 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.200 is your best water you can get at the top, 0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:09.800 and the ice drips down into the coffee and then 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:12.240 like a day and a half later you get cold brew. 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.359 And I make this as a joke about the excessiveness 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:16.639 of coffee culture. 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:18.760 They had one.

But 0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:59.320 those nineteen seventies we're talking about. This is not one seventies. 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:01.160 This is fifty sixty years ago. 0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:03.680 Anytime someone tries to complain to me about how so 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.000 much how much something cost? 0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:06.400 I go, how many pairs of shoes do you on? 0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:08.840 They go what, I go, how many. 0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:12.280 Pairs of shoes do you own?

Like 0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:20.120 like the idea that these my friends would complain about 0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:23.160 how broke they are and whatever president's in office, whereas 0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:23.960 Biden or. 0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:27.560 Trump, they go, oh god, this is ruining my life. 0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:30.320 And then they get money from COVID, like the COVID 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:34.280 government money, and they bought baseball cards and they used 0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:36.760 their COVID money to get alcohol or like a guitar. 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:40.000 And I was like, dude, stop acting like you're broke. 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:41.640 You guys are all like ingrades. 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:43.680 Yeah they I'm clipping that one is that is a 0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.240 message everyone should hear. I got one more joke from 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:49.600 the show that I can't it'll still be funny. But 0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:52.600 I just love that you gave a as your liberal 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:55.680 persona in the prager, you doc, you gave a speech 0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.920 to no one in the park. I just played the 0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:01.480 clip of Corey Booker last week brought a podium to 0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.440 the Newark Airport and gave a speech in front of 0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.840 no one and taped it and put it out, and 0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:09.600 I thought, why is he doing this? And that's his 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.920 primal scream, that's his therapy session. Is just giving a 0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:14.360 speech that doesn't matter at all. 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:17.440 Well, and I think that that was a fun glimpse 0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:23.000 into something I'm really obsessed with, is step up your 0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:30.800 protest game. You guys are jokes. We are literally children 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.520 like we are like little idiot children to think that 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.440 you making a little glitter sign and holding it on 0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:39.920 the side of the road is going to change anything. 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.000 It is laughable to me. 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:44.920 Now, I understand protest is good, right, it's good when 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:47.120 you need to be heard as a people. But we 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:50.240 let's find a more productive way to do this. Right. 0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:54.080 The idea that you would make a sign with your kids, 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.080 put little glitter glue on it, and you'd come up 0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.000 with a cute little thing that wouldn't even be a 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:00.920 tweet that would get once. 0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:04.280 And you're on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman. 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:08.160 Oaks and you think that would change anything in Palestine, 0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:12.880 You chimp brained idiot like that is It's crazy to 0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:15.880 me that anyone would think that that would do anything 0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:18.600 like that. But I made a sign and stood in 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.200 front of Tesla. Did that not make a difference? You go, 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.640 why would that make a difference? This strange turn here, 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:29.000 Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the national anthem in 0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:32.920 an NFL game might have been the smartest protest I've 0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:37.520 ever seen. It got us talking, it didn't cause any traffic. 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:41.520 Everyone you knew was talking about it, and it wasn't 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.840 like when you just see another group of people going 0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:49.080 no kings, like, like, find a productive way to protest 0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.600 that starts conversations, that doesn't ruin people's lives, It doesn't 0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:56.320 clog up a park, like like that New York thing, 0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.360 the what was that big protest that was in New 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:01.080 York for like almost a year? 0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.080 Remember occupying by yeah ye yeah. 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.240 And now people can't even get to their cars. The 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.080 people that are walking their dogs are like, what is 0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.719 this smelly people out here? You know, like, find a 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:13.879 way to protest where you're not annoying your fellow man. 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:18.279 You're actually making a statement about something we understand and 0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.240 that we can all have a nice conversation about. 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:22.360 That's productive. 0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.400 I just don't understand why people think making signs is 0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.200 going to do anything in twenty twenty. 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:30.879 Six, especially when so much of the activism is obviously astroturfed. 0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:34.600 It's sort of like it almost feels silly to say 0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:36.960 it because so much of it's funded. That people are 0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:38.919 showing up these so many of them admit they're getting paid. 0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.520 It's the middle of work days. The signs are getting 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.480 very lazy, as you know. But what's interesting is like 0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:46.880 the people are so unappealing when whatever was the no 0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.520 King's day. I felt like that was just fodder for 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:51.480 talk radio. I feel like, the why else would you 0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.239 do this unless you're just trying to create content for 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:54.000 people like me to. 0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:54.480 Make fun of you. 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.439 Yeah, exactly, So the left has to know this and 0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:00.280 contrasted with the Kaepernick protest with your right don' agree 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.000 with what he stood for? But or no for uh 0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:06.200 the the that's for the fifteen over crowd there on 0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:06.600 that one. 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:09.760 The but it did work, like it got it was effective. 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:12.360 It worked, and you should acknowledge that. 0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.280 That got the conversation going and professional sports got way 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.719 woker after that moment. So it was very effective and 0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:20.680 getting stuff done. 0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:24.279 Nobody's day was ruined. Yeah, it pissed me off, and 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.080 now I have to have conversations with my friends, And 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:27.160 that was that's what you want. 0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:29.719 That was the should piss me off conversation. 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:32.920 Defend my position to my friends who agree with it. 0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:37.040 That's what good protest is. Not making me miss my 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:41.000 flight on the holidays because oil companies. That's another thing 0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.040 is like these protests are so vague. 0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:44.560 Yeah, what do you mean? 0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:49.160 No, King, Like, like, let's get specific, Yeah, what do 0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:51.400 you mean? Black lives matter? Yet we know, we know 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.400 Black Lives matter. Is this about police brutality? Is this 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:57.719 about systematic this is about the history of slavery, which 0:35:57.760 --> 0:35:59.640 you know, we were the first to get rid of 0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:04.399 the Great country. Like, it's too vague, and that's kind 0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:05.640 of what I was saying in the beginning of the thing, 0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:07.719 is like we love to paint like a vegue thing, 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.400 like oh, it's crazy or it's woke, or it's maga. 0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.480 It's too vague. You've got to be specific. So it's 0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.239 like like like take trans. They go, oh, you're anti trans, Jeff, 0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.200 I've heard your jokes, but no, I'm not. I have 0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:22.640 trans friends. I have trans friends, but I'm friendly and 0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.600 have peers that are trans people in the comedy community. 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:27.480 I'm very nice to them and I love them and 0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:29.440 I want them to have a good, nice life and 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.800 i want them to prosper in America. But there's seventy 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:37.239 five issues with being pro or anti trans. Yeah, you 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:42.360 have the trans in sports, you have very controversial hormone 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:46.360 blockers for people that are underage, you have you know, 0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:50.080 there's like seventy five different things that would all fall 0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.719 under the category of trans. You know, separating the bathrooms 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:57.239 by sex or gender. You like, I said seventy five 0:36:57.239 --> 0:37:00.800 different things, and what if I I agree with seventy 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:02.640 of them, but five, I push back on? 0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.680 Does those five make me anti trans? Yes? 0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.080 And are the seventy that I agree with make me 0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.920 pro trands enough? You know, I am going to have 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:15.879 a statement or an opinion maybe about Israel that isn't 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:19.440 linked to Jewish people, or does it make me anti Semitic? 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:21.839 I can have a take about that. These subjects are 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:25.120 so complex and nuanced, but we want to go anti 0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:30.000 trans's anti gay, he's woke, he's crazy, he's mega, And 0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:32.120 it's like, that's so vague, it's not specific enough. 0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:35.279 So speak to this from the comedy stance where you're 0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:38.319 spend most of your time touring comic because this is 0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:40.399 really interesting to me because I feel like, first of all, 0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:42.759 the left got very anti free speech, which I think 0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:46.160 was probably a mistake with the right at the moment 0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:48.640 where it seems like comedy is at the centerpiece of 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:51.240 the culture. Sure stand up comedy in particular, it seems 0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:53.480 to be one of the quickest ways to start conversations 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:57.000 is via these viral clips and stand up specials that 0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.000 are taking place and so I think that the left 0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:00.800 going that no, you actually can and joke about stuff 0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.279 was probably really stupid for them overall. And the other 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.640 thing is, to your point is people like me, like 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.399 I would seriously avoid all the trands stuff because there 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:12.319 was a brief moment where it was clearly just a 0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:15.120 small group of very strange people that I didn't really 0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.799 want to focus on. But then the IS kept insisting 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:21.439 on not only that our trands everywhere, and like seven 0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:23.360 percent of us are trans all of a sudden, in 0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:25.920 twenty five percent of sixteen year olds are trans all 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:29.280 of a sudden, They did that like overnight, that were there, 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.320 And then if you say anything negative, you're a bigot, 0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:34.319 and it's like okay, now now I am the anti trans, 0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.080 so it call me a fine fine and whatever. Yeah, 0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:39.719 And that was so I think they think they probably won, 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:42.560 though they think the trans movement probably feels like they. 0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:43.799 Got the long the way they did win. 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:47.640 Yeah, because now there are people and not all nothing 0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:54.160 is all, but there are people who believe the craziness 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:59.680 or the just plain wrongness of being like well everybody's 0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:03.160 going in science, right, you know, like take the anti 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:06.200 fat thing or like the pro fat you know whatever 0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:09.279 this is called. Like they'll say, well, these doctors that 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.560 are saying being overweight is unhealthy, they're wrong, And you're like, 0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:15.400 they couldn't be more scientific, that you don't want to 0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:18.680 be overweight. But like now there is a group that 0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:22.839 goes that these doctors are being that they should be malepractice, 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.520 that they're telling people to lose weight, or oh, these 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.920 doctors are misgendering babies. There is a small enough faction 0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:32.400 of people who do believe that that is the science 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.120 and that like so they've won in a small way. 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:36.239 Yeah, that's good. 0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:39.320 I think that's right, And I think that's very sad 0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:41.759 in a way because it was more interesting when you 0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:43.040 could have the full conversation. 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.600 But we don't. We don't think of things that way. 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:47.920 So I want to talk about the life as a 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:52.359 touring comic because I'm always fascinated by this because it's 0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:53.200 you're working at night. 0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:55.360 How many days are you doing a month? I do 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.839 every night somewhere every night, so so. 0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:00.320 You're you're up either if it's on your web and 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:01.680 you're showing up somewhere and working on Matrio. 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.200 So yeah, every weekend, I'm somewhere, which you can find 0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:05.880 on Jeff dott I Commas. I was in DC this 0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:09.000 last weekend at the Comedy Loft, and then tomorrow through 0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:11.800 the weekend, I'm at the Improv and Raleigh, North Carolina. 0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:15.440 But every single night in between those weekend dates that 0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:17.799 you can find on my website, I'm in Los Angeles. Okay, 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.440 I'm either at the Comedy Store, the Haha Comedy Club, 0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:22.960 the Improv in Hollywood, the Laugh Factor, and only the 0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:24.680 Comedy and Magic Club. So I've kind of got the 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:28.040 infinity gauntlet of like all the clubs here in Los Angeles, 0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:30.320 and so that's where I work out all my comedy 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.160 during the week and also the Upstairs Comedy Club, which 0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:34.799 I forgot to match. 0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:36.160 So I think you and I are about the same age. 0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.640 And one thing that's really when I was a little 0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:40.560 bit younger, not too much younger, I used to love 0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:44.240 traveling two places, and I used to I would schedule 0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.600 every I had been in my apartment for more than 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:48.759 three weeks, and I was like, I'm scheduling somewhere. I'm 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:50.640 going somewhere. I will come up with a meeting or 0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:52.640 an excuse. I was at her in Chief of Bright Parts. 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:54.839 I was lucky enough I could do that sort of thing. 0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:56.920 And now as I'm getting older, I don't want to 0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:59.640 be in the road, don't I don't like my energy 0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:02.080 when I'm on the road constantly, and I don't think 0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:03.880 I'm as productive with my downtime. 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:05.719 And so this is what I'm curious about. 0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.840 Because you're someone you make your living with your brain 0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:10.120 and you get the whole day in front of you 0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:13.360 until the How is the day structured to walk me 0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:16.680 through a typical day for you.

I am in a unique pot. 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.240 I've put myself in a unique position where I feel 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.680 no shame or guilt about not being home. 0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:56.760 Now. 0:42:57.520 --> 0:42:59.840 The reason people feel shame or guilt about being on 0:42:59.880 --> 0:43:02.319 the road, whether that's a musician or a comedian or 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:04.920 a you know, a speaker or anything, is because they 0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:06.080 have families that they love. 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:07.960 They have a wife and kids, so if. 0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:10.000 They're on the road, they go, I don't need to 0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:13.399 be around with my wife and kids or b I'm 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.600 having such a good time on the road without my 0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:16.080 wife and. 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:18.600 Kids that now I feel the guilt. But now I 0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:19.600 feel guilt. 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:20.960 And she's going, oh you were how late were you 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:25.120 drinking with the and so like there's this entanglement of 0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.839 like mixed emotions and feelings about the road that I'm 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:30.680 free of because I don't have a dog or kids, 0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.640 or a girlfriend or a wife. So when I'm on 0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.000 the road, I love it. I wake up, I go 0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:37.879 to the pool, I smoke a cigar. I usually order 0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:39.839 food to the hotel or through the hotel, or then 0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:40.880 I'll go with my buddies. 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.760 I've been on the road for almost twenty years, so. 0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:47.880 I've accumulated it and made all these great friendships in 0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:48.640 all these towns. 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:50.799 And also it's kind of like a treat when I. 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:52.759 Come to their town, like when I come to like 0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.080 a town my boot, like an Arizona. This might be 0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:56.719 a bad example because I go there so often, but 0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.960 let's say Arizona was like these other towns. My friends 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.360 Emily and Jeff are like, Jeff's in town. Clear the schedule, 0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.040 like because I'm they don't see me every day, right, 0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:06.759 So when I am in their town, which is once 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:09.560 or twice a year, they go, well, Jeff, it's Jeff weekend. 0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:11.839 Let's have everyone over at the house and and hang 0:44:11.840 --> 0:44:12.440 out at the pool. 0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:14.680 And so, uh, that's really nice too. 0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:16.239 That's a good way to spend my time is with 0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:18.360 whoever I get to see and can figure out in 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.719 those towns. Uh. And then we do the shows and 0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:22.640 then everyone wants to hang out from that, and so 0:44:23.080 --> 0:44:26.239 it's it's pretty full and jam packed. And then we 0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:28.279 also try to find whatever we can find in that town. 0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:31.040 So if that town is something cool, we'll go see that. 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:33.480 Like in DC, you have a sleeper town that's like 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:36.239 a favorite that you might not have might not be 0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:37.120 top of people's mind. 0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:41.400 Chattanooga a really phenomenal city. Yeah, it hasn't been infiltrated 0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.600 by anything yet. But a lot of the towns I like, 0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:50.400 are the usual suspects I love, you know, Scottsdeeal, Arizona, Tampa, Florida, 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:53.960 Chicago used to be great. Not as much anymore. Uh, 0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.200 San Diego, La Joya like that, you know, So those 0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:02.600 the the obvious towns are you know, you can find 0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:04.440 like a Padres game in San Diego. We went to 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:07.240 a Nationals game just last weekend, and and. 0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:10.560 Then you'll get up after the game like or like 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.480 it's seven first page, seven to ten, Like are you 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:14.600 going to the club after? 0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:16.160 Wait, wait to say it again. 0:45:16.280 --> 0:45:18.600 Like I'm saying if it's a seven to ten Padres game, 0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:19.879 like we can go to the game and then go 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:20.920 to the comedy club. 0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:21.520 Yeah. 0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:25.200 So this was luckily the Nationals game was at like 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.799 four o'clock or five o'clock, and so our Furst show 0:45:28.880 --> 0:45:29.319 was at seven. 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.120 So we were just there for like three or four innings. 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:33.040 But the Dodgers were beating the crap out of the 0:45:33.080 --> 0:45:35.839 Nationals so bad that like, you know, didn't mind stay 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:36.800 leaving anyways. 0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:39.440 So I imagine that the day you've got to probably do 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:41.919 some reading. I'm guessing and staying up on the news. 0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:44.480 Imagine you doing some writing, a lot of writing. Imagine 0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.080 you're doing some exercise cause you stay in shape. 0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:46.359 Yeah. 0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:47.400 I do a lot of writing. 0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:49.239 I work out if I can find like an equinox 0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:51.800 in town, or like we'll go on a hike or something. 0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:53.840 So it's a lot of writing. I don't listen. I 0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:56.160 don't read anything. I listened to books like on the 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:59.319 airplane and stuff like that. But yeah, so usually when 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.560 I land me in my own opener Chris Bauers shout 0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.920 out to him, we'll be like, oh, let's go get coffee. 0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:05.839 That's always my first thing because you know, one cool 0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:07.680 thing about being able to travel and being obsessed with 0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:09.760 coffee is like I get to see the best coffee 0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:10.719 shops in America. 0:46:10.760 --> 0:46:14.840 It is something that I prioritize each and every city 0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:16.440 I go to. You so just know if I'm coming 0:46:16.480 --> 0:46:18.080 your city, because every here I'm coming to your city. 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:21.120 Coffee recommendations a low hot Alex Marlow dot com, please 0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:21.640 send them. 0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:23.799 Yeah, and it's great too, because. 0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:26.960 You know, I have the coffe shops that I really 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:29.480 love here by my house, but like getting to go 0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:32.960 to a great new coffee shop every weekend feels like 0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:34.480 so good. And I do like a little thing on 0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:36.759 my Instagram but where I plug them. So yeah, it's 0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:40.040 always coffee first. Then we usually find some food and 0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:42.400 then I'll smoke a cigar by the pool, and then 0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:44.200 we do the shows. And then when I say if 0:46:44.200 --> 0:46:45.799 we're gonna go to baseball games to you like an 0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:47.560 afternoon on a Saturday. 0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:48.400 Or got it? 0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:54.000 So your brand you're doing simultaneously you're talking about your 0:46:54.040 --> 0:46:57.200 faith and you're also talking about eating pasta loon in 0:46:57.239 --> 0:46:59.200 the Strip Club. I think that you're the only person 0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.880 with that range that has I think your profile. 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:04.200 So this is this is a question I've been dying 0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:04.440 to ask. 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:09.000 Who do you get more negative feedback from the Christian 0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:11.919 crowd or the left wing crowd for you talking about 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:13.640 your faith, the Christian ground for you talking about the strip. 0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:16.480 Club, or the left wing crowd for you talking about Jesus. 0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:21.760 Good question. One hundred percent of the people talking trash 0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:22.239 about me. 0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:25.759 Don't know me and they're not listening. Interesting, that's what 0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:26.240 I believe. 0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:28.799 Yes, now too, I think what you're actually asking is 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:31.719 that most of it. It's like ninety five percent left 0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:35.319 wing people and Democrats who are like that guy's maga 0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:37.400 five percent, or people like, hey, you know, you probably 0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:40.280 shouldn't be talking about pornography if you're saying you're a Christian. 0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.320 But that's just like DM stuff. That's all just like 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:46.840 blurry whatever. I would encourage anyone who thinks they hate 0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:48.680 me or thinks they know me to like, just come 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.600 talk to me, right, come to my show. 0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:51.799 My buddy Bowers is. 0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:54.200 So sweet about like he ran this thing with Ben 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:56.880 Gleeb for a while during COVID that was like an 0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.680 internet show like on zoom screens, and they have a 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:03.480 ton of like people who say they're liberal that watch 0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:06.120 their thing, and Bowers is always hesitating to invite them 0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:08.240 to my shows. He's like, dude, they're super like lefty, 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:10.480 and he goes. But when they do come, I sit 0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:12.919 there and I coach them because you'll start a bit 0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:15.919 and then there's there I could watch their feelings. He goes, 0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:17.480 just let them land the plane, you know, like just 0:48:17.560 --> 0:48:20.399 let him get to the the end, and then he goes, 0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:22.200 whenever I do that, then they're like, oh, I get it. 0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:23.120 I see what he's saying. 0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:26.759 There. Nothing in my act is mean. It's all very 0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:29.719 like positive. I'm going to point out and make fun 0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:33.279 of and tear down ideas when I'm on tearing down people. 0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:35.480 And you have great formats where you start, you throw 0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:37.200 a lot of curveballs where you're starting with the premisey 0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:38.920 you think you know where you're going, and you'll go 0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:41.080 one ego, which is really good. 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:45.440 And I just think that like smart people discuss ideas, 0:48:46.080 --> 0:48:48.840 they don't go, oh, you know people like this, like 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:49.480 that's rude. 0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:52.839 It's mean to say about people like this, But. 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:56.560 Like an ideology, you know, like that is that's something 0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:58.520 worth worth debating or criticizing. 0:48:58.680 --> 0:49:02.960 Do you have anyone who is not on the left? Atheists? 0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:06.400 Both combo that he is the public person that you 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:08.840 talk to, that you've any public dialogues with at all, 0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:10.040 because seems like something you'd enjoy it. 0:49:10.040 --> 0:49:11.960 But the thing, no, I know a lot of agnostic people, 0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:15.880 but no like atheists. Yeah, I guess my one of 0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:18.400 my best friends is he says he's atheist, but he 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:19.719 doesn't behave like it. 0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:21.200 Yeah, he seems to. 0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:22.799 Have a lot of hope, He seems to have a 0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:24.200 lot of feelings, you know. 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.600 So what about so no family? Is that a for 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:28.680 now thing or do you feel like that's a hardwiring thing? 0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:29.040 Don't know. 0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:31.600 Yeah, I mean I was such a late bloomer and 0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:33.960 it took me so long to get my life together. Yeah, 0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:37.319 like you know, I'm glad no woman wanted to be 0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:40.600 with me, sure, just because you know, like the drinking 0:49:40.719 --> 0:49:42.600 was out of hand for a long time and like 0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:45.839 that wasn't very emotionally available. I think if I met 0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:48.000 someone I really liked, then then i'd be I would 0:49:48.000 --> 0:49:50.120 love to have a family, But I think both are good. 0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:52.799 What other so it feels like for me? 0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:56.000 I mentioned how you're all over my my social feeds, 0:49:56.239 --> 0:49:59.480 and I'm always stunned when I see people who are 0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:02.000 comics feel like might make a point similar point I made, 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:03.920 and I'll look down all like, you know, two hundred 0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:06.400 likes on it or something, or maybe good will be 0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:08.480 two thousand likes and I'll see a similar point. But 0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:11.680 it's made in a sharp, not just funny way, but 0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:14.279 like a way that's dialed in in a comedy bit, 0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:18.200 and it's got sixty thousand likes and a lot of 0:50:18.239 --> 0:50:21.040 these likes, I don't know how much alike means, But 0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:24.399 what what about the medium do you feel like why 0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.839 it's having its moment this sort of comedy that Yeah, 0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:28.879 the stand up in particular, well, I. 0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:31.120 Think that streaming has helped obviously with Netflix and the 0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:32.719 youtubes and stuff, So it's kind of made us like 0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:34.799 rock stars used to just kind of like know about 0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:38.520 comedy and comedy clubs. Our parents' age, like, they didn't 0:50:38.520 --> 0:50:40.600 know a comedian, they didn't know a stand up comedi 0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:41.480 unless they had a sitcom. 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:42.960 I only know the sitcom. 0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:46.200 Well, no, my parents would never know Paula Pounds down. 0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:48.960 But my parents knew Jerry Seinfeld, they knew Ray Romano, 0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:52.400 they knew Brett Butler, they knew Caroline Ray, they knew 0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:55.719 Mark Curry, they knew all these people because of the 0:50:55.920 --> 0:50:58.480 sitcoms that they got from their stand up A good point. 0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:00.960 So I think that's helped for us as far as 0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:02.719 like you know, you know a Shane gillis, a Mark 0:51:02.760 --> 0:51:05.680 Norman Nikki Glazer. Because of Netflix, it's made us kind 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:09.760 of like low level rock stars of this generation. I 0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:12.200 personally believe the reason people are responding to the stand 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:14.560 up is because, like you, like we said earlier it's 0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:17.120 just so much crap. You know. It's like your daughter 0:51:17.280 --> 0:51:20.120 just dancing in the top. You're not proud of her wearing, 0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:22.000 you know, Like it's it's it's a lot of like 0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:26.440 just drivel on there and he's disposable rise to the 0:51:26.480 --> 0:51:28.560 top because it's like, oh, he's making a good point. 0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:30.960 And then everybody has gotten so political. 0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:35.040 Everyone's acting out their political beliefs like religious zealots, you know, 0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:37.520 like like people are more proud to say they're a 0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.080 Democrat or Republican than they are about their faith. 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:42.040 They won't even say they're religion. 0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:45.600 They'll first go, I'm a Democrat, I'm a It's embarrassing, 0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:49.120 and comedy is a good way to carve through that. 0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:50.759 Like you'll listen to a joke. 0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:54.560 I'll listen to a joke from any liberal or any anybody, 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:56.640 and so but if it's funny enough, I'll give it 0:51:56.680 --> 0:51:59.160 a good. I'll give it a good I'll consider it. 0:51:59.400 --> 0:52:02.640 Yeah, it's really there's something very subtle that your stuff 0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:05.400 you're not it doesn't even look that you're trying to 0:52:05.440 --> 0:52:07.839 be a conservative. Yeah, and it feels like a lot 0:52:07.840 --> 0:52:09.600 of conservative comics who all talk to you on the 0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:10.840 show and I have on don't think are funny and 0:52:10.840 --> 0:52:11.440 are good people. 0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:12.000 They do. 0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.799 Really, it's conservative first comedy. Second, you're way in the 0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:18.200 other you I'm making it good, thank you. But that's 0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:20.640 that's that's it's obvious. I want that to be how 0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:21.760 people perceive it? 0:52:21.800 --> 0:52:22.319 Is that how? 0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:25.320 But do you feel like that's how the broader public 0:52:25.400 --> 0:52:28.160 sees it? Because I look at the reactions on your socials, 0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:29.799 it looks like that's how they're they're seeing it. 0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:32.319 My fans see it that way, I think, And again, 0:52:32.360 --> 0:52:34.919 this is so arrogant to say that, Like, there's plenty 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:36.880 of people that just wouldn't like me or don't like me. 0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:39.160 That's fair, that's life. That's how what it's like to 0:52:39.160 --> 0:52:42.120 be a human being. But when I say that, people 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:44.680 that really hate me just don't know me aren't listening. 0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:48.719 It's because like they think I'm saying something I'm not. 0:52:49.000 --> 0:52:50.880 And you're like, well, if you just really listened, you 0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:53.239 would hear that I'm saying, oh you hate treads like no, 0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:56.520 I'm saying love everyone, like. I can't tell you how 0:52:56.520 --> 0:52:58.240 many times in the bit I say I love trans 0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:01.240 people like I said it three times in this chunk, 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:03.880 And you're not even hearing it. So I think that 0:53:03.880 --> 0:53:06.320 that happens a lot. It's just people not listening. 0:53:06.640 --> 0:53:09.120 Yeah, So I want to talk about a little bit 0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:12.040 about what you feel like what is audience feedback for you? 0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:15.319 Because I'm in a spot where I'm sure you feel 0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:18.239 similarly where I in my line of work. I have 0:53:18.320 --> 0:53:21.799 to lead the audience and be responsive to what they 0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:24.799 want because the audience wants certain types of content. They 0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:27.400 want to hear about certain things. But also I'm hopefully 0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:29.360 on the cutting edge because I'm in the news business 0:53:29.400 --> 0:53:31.279 and I'm paying attention to things twenty four to seven. 0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:33.520 I'm seeing things and hearing from people they can't see. 0:53:33.600 --> 0:53:37.080 So for you, what is feedback to you that you're listening. 0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:39.320 Is it just you're in the room. If people are laughing, 0:53:39.360 --> 0:53:41.720 you know you're onto something. And if they're not laughing, 0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:44.640 or is there what are you looking at? In terms 0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:47.560 of making sure you're on the cutting edge of your material. 0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:49.840 It's always in the room, So never on the internet. 0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:51.840 I don't know how people would measure how well they're. 0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:54.160 Doing on the internet. It's a comfort for you to 0:53:54.200 --> 0:53:55.080 say this, yes. 0:53:55.280 --> 0:53:58.040 And also, like I used to always criticize, like radio 0:53:58.239 --> 0:54:00.759 people because we would go in to like kiss one 0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:02.799 oh six or one oh seven seven the end, and like, 0:54:02.880 --> 0:54:04.840 you know, these are like people we love listening to 0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:06.359 on the radio, like when we were in high school 0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:08.239 at junior high. So it's kind of cool to be 0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:09.960 in those rooms. But I'm like they were so out 0:54:10.000 --> 0:54:13.719 of touch because they would say something funny and they 0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:15.840 assume everyone in their car is just going ah. 0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:18.719 But they don't know. They can't hear it. 0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:20.880 They don't know that maybe someone's rolling their eyes or 0:54:20.920 --> 0:54:22.080 going this DJ sucks. 0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:22.799 They don't know. 0:54:23.200 --> 0:54:25.480 Whereas with a stand up comic, you know right away 0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:28.560 if I say something and they don't like it. 0:54:29.360 --> 0:54:31.880 They've let me know right away, like that wasn't. 0:54:31.680 --> 0:54:34.000 Funny, or like we work that out there like or 0:54:34.040 --> 0:54:35.880 we you know, not that they even disagree, just that 0:54:35.920 --> 0:54:37.120 they didn't think it was funny. 0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:41.160 So we've kind of become really really good. 0:54:41.200 --> 0:54:43.799 Like that's kind of our superpower is knowing what is 0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:46.960 and isn't funny quicker than other kind of people in 0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:47.920 whatever field. 0:54:48.239 --> 0:54:49.680 And so I always judge it by the room. 0:54:50.239 --> 0:54:52.880 So if in that room they all laughed that I 0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:54.160 made a joke, that's Rachel. 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:55.760 I'll put it on the internet. 0:54:55.840 --> 0:54:58.800 Sure, I don't care that the internet goes this is Rachel. 0:54:58.920 --> 0:55:02.000 I don't care. In that room that night, all those 0:55:02.040 --> 0:55:04.799 people loved it. Yeah, and so I know that that's 0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:08.319 a pass, you know, Like I just posted something. These 0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:11.280 girls got offended by one of my jokes, and they 0:55:11.320 --> 0:55:12.440 were like, oh. 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:14.320 So what are we are? We retards? Are we slaves? 0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:16.360 You know? And I was like, oh, you didn't understand 0:55:16.360 --> 0:55:19.440 the words in between those words. You heard those buzzwords 0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:21.440 and you got all triggered. You couldn't even hear the 0:55:21.520 --> 0:55:23.279 analogy that I was making and the jokes that I 0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.640 was making. But the crowd was like predominantly black, and 0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:30.400 so when these girls got mad, the crowd was kind 0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:32.319 of conflicted, like do we take their side or do 0:55:32.360 --> 0:55:35.239 we take the comedian's side? And then these girls are like, oh, 0:55:35.320 --> 0:55:37.720 I see you guys were all laughing in the crowds, 0:55:37.800 --> 0:55:40.200 like what now she's coming after us? And then she's like, yeah, 0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:44.040 you were you know she called them coons and then they. 0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:45.920 Were like, oh hell. And I was like, I remembering on. 0:55:45.840 --> 0:55:48.719 Stagego she screwed up there, you know, should have done that, 0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:51.160 And I watched the whole crowd turn on her. Like, 0:55:51.239 --> 0:55:53.760 not all black people are offended. He's being funny. Yeah, 0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:57.399 And so like that's the kind of consensus or democracy 0:55:57.480 --> 0:56:00.719 in a way, or majority rules that I judge things 0:56:00.760 --> 0:56:03.480 based on what I post I got that night, Like 0:56:04.440 --> 0:56:06.759 they all agreed that this was funny, and so I'm 0:56:06.760 --> 0:56:09.080 gonna put on the internet, because the Internet, no one's 0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:09.800 going to agree. 0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:10.360 Yeah. 0:56:10.400 --> 0:56:13.160 And I think that one of the things I was 0:56:13.160 --> 0:56:15.160 thinking about during your commentary in the Trans just now 0:56:15.320 --> 0:56:18.399 was that of all the things that I don't dig 0:56:18.400 --> 0:56:21.160 about the trans moment, the fact that they seem to 0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:23.879 not want to laugh at themselves. I feel like if 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:27.239 any of them can laugh at themselves, I feel like 0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:29.680 we could get along on everything else, everything else, we 0:56:29.719 --> 0:56:32.640 could actually have a conversation. But if you it feels 0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.640 like there's a controlling from the movie. I don't know 0:56:35.680 --> 0:56:37.400 if it's the trans community. I don't even know what 0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:40.120 that is, but it's the It feels like the message 0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:42.319 was you can't say anything negative for a while, and 0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:45.080 that's to me, that's when you write a whole, awful, 0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:47.680 whole group of people, And I feel like that isn't 0:56:47.680 --> 0:56:49.440 that sort of the standards? Can we all laugh at ourselves? 0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:51.840 I said this because I was trying to remember what 0:56:51.880 --> 0:56:53.440 I was going to say to you earlier, and you 0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:56.600 just reminded me of it, and I'm so glad you 0:56:56.640 --> 0:56:59.440 went down this thing is that the best audience members 0:56:59.520 --> 0:57:08.880 I have our military guys and gals, nurses, people who cops, 0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:12.279 people that have like real jobs where they see things 0:57:12.320 --> 0:57:14.040 and they go, We're gonna get mad at a clown. 0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:17.120 These guys up there being a goon, you know, like 0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:20.760 we would never there's nothing that Dorc could say that 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:24.640 would ever offend us. We've literally watched our buddies die, 0:57:24.800 --> 0:57:28.520 We've we've torn open, cut open, Like the world is 0:57:28.720 --> 0:57:33.000 so serious that like you can't get mad at a comedian, 0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.240 Like it's insane. And I used to have a joke 0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:37.400 where I'd say, you know, I'm like, I love feminists. 0:57:37.400 --> 0:57:39.440 I love feminism. Because this is back before I got 0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:41.000 a little too out of hand, but I was like, 0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:43.000 I'm a feminist and I love feminists, and I love 0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:45.479 the boorest part about him is they can't take a joke. 0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:48.160 That's the biggest problem. Work on your sense of humor 0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:49.800 a little, and that's what each group needs to work on, 0:57:49.880 --> 0:57:51.960 is there's a sense of humor a little. Jordan Peterson 0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.120 has this great quote where he goes, that's one way 0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:56.000 you can mark if someone is someone you don't want 0:57:56.000 --> 0:57:58.280 to even want to deal with, is when they decide 0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:01.560 what is funny, Like, well, I'm going to decide what 0:58:01.560 --> 0:58:03.960 people should laugh about. And you're like, you're going to 0:58:04.040 --> 0:58:07.600 decide that. You're going to decide what is funny, this 0:58:09.000 --> 0:58:12.880 undefinable thing of funny. You're going to decide that, right, 0:58:13.120 --> 0:58:14.880 And they go, oh, yeah, the world would be a. 0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:15.919 Lot better if I did. 0:58:16.200 --> 0:58:19.160 And you go, wow, you are the fool if you 0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:21.840 think that you're going to decide what people can laugh 0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:28.200 laugh about, because that that like, if you're that arrogant 0:58:28.280 --> 0:58:30.960 that you go all decide what is and isn't funny, 0:58:31.000 --> 0:58:32.840 like you're you're you're a piece of trash. 0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:36.000 I love that you pull, particularly military guys and law 0:58:36.040 --> 0:58:38.560 enforcement guy. So I'm thinking of my friend Richard Casias, 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:42.880 who is a wounded action military veteran and as a cop. Now, 0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:45.200 there's nothing I could say to defend this person, Like 0:58:45.240 --> 0:58:47.320 there's not one thing I could come up with the 0:58:47.320 --> 0:58:49.560 most brutal thing about his family. I can make fun 0:58:49.600 --> 0:58:51.800 of his children, right, like he would not care if 0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:52.400 you're joking. 0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:55.560 If I'm joking, of course, is exactly. 0:58:55.600 --> 0:58:59.640 It's the there's always that's so healthy and we can 0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:01.560 get back to that, right. I mean you're optimistic, all right, 0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:03.200 it's coming back. 0:59:03.240 --> 0:59:05.439 We can do that, right, And I think that that's 0:59:05.440 --> 0:59:08.240 good for everybody, you know. And maybe that's why I'm 0:59:08.280 --> 0:59:11.400 having such positive interactions with trans people is because I said, 0:59:11.440 --> 0:59:15.120 they're all comics. They're all the comedians that I know that, 0:59:15.680 --> 0:59:17.800 and they've got great senses of humor, and they're like 0:59:18.000 --> 0:59:20.360 verious sweet and they're not clutching their pearls, like can 0:59:20.400 --> 0:59:21.560 you believe what he says? Right? 0:59:21.880 --> 0:59:22.640 Yeah? 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:24.560 So all right, So I was going to ask you 0:59:24.640 --> 0:59:26.120 what you do on an on tour day, but you're 0:59:26.160 --> 0:59:28.000 you're saying you're working every day. So something like this 0:59:28.120 --> 0:59:29.880 like podcasting what we're going along? 0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:31.600 For them, it's a are you on now? 0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:33.760 Are you working stuff out in your brain? Or is 0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:35.280 this or are you hanging out? 0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:35.360 Like? 0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:37.120 What is this in terms of work? 0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:39.520 Because for me, when I'm doing shows and stuff, I 0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:41.960 bear it takes time, but it doesn't feel like work 0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:44.240 to me. But I know for some people it's the 0:59:44.440 --> 0:59:47.880 I've been around some big stars and it's anything even 0:59:47.920 --> 0:59:50.720 like a five minute thing. It's a real mental weight 0:59:50.880 --> 0:59:53.040 for you. Yeah, it doesn't feel like it. 0:59:53.080 --> 0:59:57.120 I love that I've carved my life into being all 0:59:57.160 --> 1:00:01.360 the things I love, so like I you know, I 1:00:01.400 --> 1:00:03.400 get to do stand up if you you could be 1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:04.520 talking to me as. 1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:05.560 They're bringing me on stage. 1:00:05.600 --> 1:00:07.880 There's no like sitting down like this is like because 1:00:08.280 --> 1:00:11.440 I've carved a way to be able to do my 1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:14.240 entire career just with what I like. I didn't have 1:00:14.280 --> 1:00:16.640 to come do this. No one's asking me to you. 1:00:16.640 --> 1:00:18.440 You guys reached out. I said, I'd love to. Like 1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:20.760 that sounds fun. Okay, gets to talk to a guy, 1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:23.520 maybe make a new friend. Why wouldn't I want to 1:00:23.560 --> 1:00:26.200 do that. There's very few things in my life I'm 1:00:26.240 --> 1:00:28.400 doing that I don't want to do. With the exception 1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:31.400 of waking up early in the morning and then working out, 1:00:31.720 --> 1:00:33.479 those are the only things I'm doing that I don't 1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:36.160 want to do. Everything else is like, hey, you want 1:00:36.160 --> 1:00:37.600 to get a cigar? I'm like, sure, you want to? 1:00:38.120 --> 1:00:39.800 You know, hey, can you do a spotted laugh factor? 1:00:39.880 --> 1:00:41.840 I go shure, like it's all things I want to 1:00:41.880 --> 1:00:43.760 be doing, and then they hand me money at the end. 1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:46.120 So that's pretty cool too. That's not bad. It's always 1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:46.480 not bad. 1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:51.000 So the you're so, what is is there anything that 1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:52.560 stresses you out in sort of your day to day 1:00:52.560 --> 1:00:54.160 at work, like if you're doing a huge show like 1:00:54.200 --> 1:00:57.000 a Rogan show we've done many times, or is there 1:00:57.160 --> 1:00:59.560 is there a venue where if it's a new venue, 1:00:59.680 --> 1:01:01.200 or if you new material is there? 1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:03.600 Or are you just sort of you've so much rhino skin. 1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:08.600 Now, there's two things that stressed me out in life. Well, 1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:11.520 let's let's say three things. One is I have the 1:01:11.800 --> 1:01:14.040 regular nerves of just like I'm about to go on 1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:15.160 stage and I want to do well. 1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:17.200 Yeah, I didn't think I used to have nerves. People 1:01:17.240 --> 1:01:19.240 go actually nervous. I don't know, And. 1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:22.200 Then I realized I was just drunk, and so like 1:01:22.240 --> 1:01:24.080 now that I'm a sober guy, like, I do have 1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:27.160 nerves before every show that I never thought I had. Really, 1:01:27.400 --> 1:01:29.280 but it's just like me wanting to do well and 1:01:29.440 --> 1:01:33.600 enthusiasm and excitement. So they're positive butterflies. But that's one thing. 1:01:34.160 --> 1:01:37.000 The second thing is corporate events. 1:01:37.080 --> 1:01:39.800 I just did a private gig for a really, really. 1:01:39.640 --> 1:01:43.600 Beautiful couple in Puerto Rico, but they paid me so 1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:46.080 much money and they brought all their friends to go. 1:01:46.120 --> 1:01:47.520 Our favorite comedian is going to be here. 1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:50.400 So that pressure of like, you know, doing comedy at 1:01:50.400 --> 1:01:54.600 four pm in the sunlight of a beautiful island, you know, 1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:56.560 like that, like that made me really nervous. 1:01:56.840 --> 1:01:58.120 Luckily, it went well and it went great. 1:01:58.120 --> 1:02:00.760 But like anytime, like like, I don't get nervous about 1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:03.080 the laugh factor necessarily because I just know it's going 1:02:03.120 --> 1:02:04.720 to go well. It's a comedy club, I've done this 1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:07.480 a million times, but corporate gigs like I'm doing Pebble 1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:10.160 Beach in August, that'll be like a twenty minute like 1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.000 corporate spot, and I'm like that. That makes me a 1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.040 little nervous then, because I really wanted to go well 1:02:14.080 --> 1:02:15.280 and they're paying me a lot of money. 1:02:15.480 --> 1:02:17.040 It's so funny to say this because I had a 1:02:17.120 --> 1:02:20.360 speech last year where I charged like two and a 1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:23.240 half times my normal rate because literally I had a 1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:25.480 week earlier and watched my friend Charlie Kirket shot and 1:02:25.480 --> 1:02:27.480 the Nyack and kill the who's giving a speech. I 1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:29.440 was going to go fly away from my family and 1:02:29.440 --> 1:02:31.480 give a speech and I really did not want to 1:02:31.480 --> 1:02:33.480 do it, and so I threw out a pretty absurd 1:02:33.560 --> 1:02:36.240 number and they almost hit it. And I gotta tell you, 1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:39.960 I really wanted to perform because they thought I was 1:02:40.000 --> 1:02:41.680 worth this amount of money that I didn't think I 1:02:41.720 --> 1:02:43.880 was worth that amount of money normally, but under these 1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:46.320 particular circumstances, I said, I'm not going to fly away 1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:48.480 from my raw family who's all broken up right now, 1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:51.000 and go and go talk to people for money unless 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:51.720 there's a lot of money. 1:02:52.120 --> 1:02:54.800 And I did kill It was great. Yeah, it was a. 1:02:54.720 --> 1:02:56.520 Great experience and they wanted you to be there. 1:02:56.680 --> 1:02:57.800 They loved it. It was important. 1:02:57.840 --> 1:02:59.520 Yeah, But like that nerves of like I hope I 1:02:59.600 --> 1:03:03.040 knocked it for them is a healthy thing to worry about. 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:04.680 Yeah. I think I gave them their moneys worth eventually, 1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:07.320 but it really was I was kind of pacing around 1:03:07.320 --> 1:03:07.880 the room before. 1:03:08.240 --> 1:03:09.080 Yeah, it's good. Yeah. 1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:11.080 The third thing I stress about, which I'd love to 1:03:11.080 --> 1:03:17.960 have a conversation with you about, is how much negative energy. 1:03:17.640 --> 1:03:20.320 I get from the internet. Yeah. 1:03:20.640 --> 1:03:24.560 Like, I don't know why I let it affect me. 1:03:24.760 --> 1:03:27.800 It's been the probably the hardest battle of my last 1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:31.160 two years mentally. Is I go through these waves where 1:03:31.240 --> 1:03:33.200 like a week, I don't care at all. I go aheah, 1:03:33.200 --> 1:03:35.760 it's okay. Then the next week I'm like, well, it's 1:03:35.760 --> 1:03:38.560 good to care, and like let's talk to these people. 1:03:38.960 --> 1:03:40.480 And then the next week I'm like why are they 1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:45.360 saying this? Like I'm almost in a weird state of manicness, 1:03:46.440 --> 1:03:48.880 you know, for the last like two years dealing with 1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:53.440 people who troll me on Reddit and YouTube and the internet. 1:03:53.680 --> 1:03:55.360 So this is my question. 1:03:55.480 --> 1:03:57.360 Do you find that there are patterns in terms of 1:03:57.400 --> 1:03:59.680 what you care about and what you don't. Is it 1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:03.160 people you respected who say something negative, or is it 1:04:03.240 --> 1:04:05.600 do they actually found a hole in your game and 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:09.000 you think they identified a real problem. Because for me, 1:04:09.160 --> 1:04:12.640 I feel like if people are just making generic comments, 1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:16.400 then I don't it doesn't bother me. But I do 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:18.560 find that if they pinpoint something that maybe was a 1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:23.120 little weak, like maybe I delivered something admit an incomplete answer, 1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:25.120 or there was something with the way that I framed 1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:28.960 something up that wasn't good, or something my appearance or 1:04:28.960 --> 1:04:31.360 set was off, and I think they're right, then that 1:04:31.400 --> 1:04:33.600 does affect me a little bit. And it's one of 1:04:33.640 --> 1:04:36.600 these things where it's harder to disassociate if I feel 1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:38.240 like there might be some truth to it, but there's 1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:41.360 no truth to it, then I usually can kind of 1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:42.160 just just move on. 1:04:42.240 --> 1:04:44.200 But I do find I find it tough for them. 1:04:44.200 --> 1:04:46.040 People would think because I'm in a line of work 1:04:46.080 --> 1:04:48.959 where we call our subscription service at brightbart fight club, 1:04:49.000 --> 1:04:51.920 like we're here to fight with people. But it's the 1:04:52.080 --> 1:04:54.640 if I feel like I'm vulnerable at all, it doesn't 1:04:54.640 --> 1:04:55.000 feel good. 1:04:55.000 --> 1:04:56.800 I mean even being so it's right, that's the part. 1:04:56.840 --> 1:04:59.560 And I understand, yeah, is or that I'm trying to 1:04:59.560 --> 1:05:01.280 come to turn with. In fact, I reach out to 1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:02.720 others like hey, you getting a lot of hate on 1:05:02.720 --> 1:05:05.600 the internet. Yeah, And I go, good, I'm not alone, 1:05:05.720 --> 1:05:06.840 Like that's a nice feeling. 1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:09.439 I do have feelings. I do care. 1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:11.720 I don't like that people say and it doesn't matter. 1:05:11.960 --> 1:05:14.240 They're very often not right, you know. It's always a 1:05:14.240 --> 1:05:16.320 burner account. It's like you're balding. I'm like, yeah, I'm 1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:18.400 forty three years old. We're all balding. Right. 1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:21.240 Also I get that, I get exactly, you know, like it. 1:05:21.120 --> 1:05:24.080 Does even something as trivial as like that, or like 1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:26.840 they're like yeah you got a duy and you almost 1:05:26.920 --> 1:05:31.560 killed some people blah blah or whatever, like yeah, the 1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:33.880 whole internet knows I got a duy. This is not 1:05:33.960 --> 1:05:34.960 something I'm hiding. 1:05:35.480 --> 1:05:37.840 By the way, hilarious bit from You're stand up where 1:05:37.840 --> 1:05:39.440 you talk about how that's how you knew you were 1:05:39.480 --> 1:05:40.040 a celebrity. 1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:46.080 Yeah, So it doesn't matter to me whether it is 1:05:46.280 --> 1:05:49.880 true or whether it is trivial or what. I just 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:52.480 can't understand how that's someone how that's how they would 1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.800 want to spend their time, is just saying these mean 1:05:56.000 --> 1:05:58.040 things that like, you know, oh, he wears his hat 1:05:58.120 --> 1:06:01.680 too low. You're like, why do you care about a Yeah, Like, 1:06:01.680 --> 1:06:05.560 like you're a grown man. You're creating a whole identity 1:06:06.320 --> 1:06:09.680 around a comic you've never met, Like this is your 1:06:09.720 --> 1:06:10.400 whole brand. 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:14.000 How pathetic. They don't have then model, yet they're. 1:06:13.800 --> 1:06:15.480 Winning in the way that Like it is in the 1:06:15.480 --> 1:06:17.440 back of my mind going why does someone care what 1:06:18.320 --> 1:06:21.520 sweater I'm wearing? Like, like it's just so strange to me. 1:06:21.840 --> 1:06:24.240 I'm so happy you're sharing this because there are a 1:06:24.280 --> 1:06:28.280 lot of people who are in the public light for 1:06:28.320 --> 1:06:30.760 whatever reason, who I think honestly don't care, and I 1:06:30.840 --> 1:06:33.560 work with some of them, and your Brightbart I don't 1:06:33.560 --> 1:06:36.520 think cared at all. See Bannon certainly didn't care at all. 1:06:37.880 --> 1:06:39.760 My Leonopolis didn't care at all, Like these are all 1:06:39.760 --> 1:06:43.200 people I worked with closely. It was I don't think 1:06:43.240 --> 1:06:47.160 Ben Shapiro cared. In fact, I know Ben was saying 1:06:47.160 --> 1:06:50.040 that just I just get more subscribers. It's if he 1:06:50.080 --> 1:06:52.760 maybe cares a little maybe, but not a lot. And 1:06:52.880 --> 1:06:55.080 I do care a little bit personally, and I don't 1:06:55.120 --> 1:06:58.200 love it. And it's one of these things where I'm 1:06:58.280 --> 1:07:01.320 interested to see if, in this era of everything is 1:07:01.400 --> 1:07:04.959 so under microscope, are we going to alienate the next 1:07:05.000 --> 1:07:08.120 brilliant comic or director or even the next great politician 1:07:08.240 --> 1:07:11.120 because they're sensitive to so much of the hat And 1:07:11.520 --> 1:07:12.440 I get nervous about that. 1:07:12.520 --> 1:07:13.240 Or maybe that's just. 1:07:13.200 --> 1:07:14.920 The era we're in. You got to build up a 1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:17.560 lot of rhino skin. Do you ever feel just a 1:07:17.560 --> 1:07:20.480 little off some days? Well, maybe it is more to 1:07:20.480 --> 1:07:23.520 do with what's missing from your diet than what you're 1:07:23.680 --> 1:07:27.080 adding to it. We talk a lot about cutting things out, sugar, 1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:31.720 processed foods, junk, toxins, whatever, but maybe you're not getting 1:07:31.880 --> 1:07:36.680 enough of something. Whole foods contain phyto nutrients, natural plant 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:39.600 compounds your body uses every day to function properly and 1:07:39.680 --> 1:07:42.240 Let's be honest, most of us are probably not eating 1:07:42.280 --> 1:07:44.480 They recommended ten servings of produce today. 1:07:44.800 --> 1:07:46.040 I don't think I am. 1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:48.320 That's why one of the best options on the market 1:07:48.360 --> 1:07:51.560 is Balance of Nature. They've got a vacuum cold process 1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:54.720 that helps stabilize with phido nutrients, so you're getting the 1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:57.440 benefit of real fruits and vegetables and you're getting in 1:07:57.440 --> 1:08:01.200 a capsule form. I love their whole system with fruits 1:08:01.200 --> 1:08:04.560 and veggies plus fiber and spice, forty seven ingredients of 1:08:04.720 --> 1:08:08.200 whole food nutrition. That's the best kind of nutrition. And 1:08:08.240 --> 1:08:11.120 their freeze drive snacks are great option too. If you're 1:08:11.160 --> 1:08:15.760 ready to fight phyt the good fight. Fight.

If it's always going to 1:08:41.600 --> 1:08:44.080 be there, right, So, like I'm a little conflicted because 1:08:44.080 --> 1:08:45.800 people go, oh, Jeff, they're just jealous, and I go, well, 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:49.880 how arrogant If I just think they're jealous, Yes, Like 1:08:49.960 --> 1:08:52.400 now that's me suggesting that I have something that they 1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:54.160 should be jealous of. I like, no, they I think 1:08:54.160 --> 1:08:57.200 they just genuinely hate me, and that bothers me. I'd 1:08:57.240 --> 1:08:59.120 like them to not hate me. So I'm like, I 1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:01.320 don't want to be so hardened to it, but I 1:09:01.320 --> 1:09:03.080 also don't want to be so sensitive that I'm being 1:09:03.120 --> 1:09:06.439 a little pussy about everything this. So I'm in this 1:09:06.520 --> 1:09:09.800 weird where where I don't really know how to feel 1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:12.040 about it. I don't want to dismiss it as jealousy. 1:09:12.400 --> 1:09:14.000 I don't want to care too much, but I don't 1:09:14.000 --> 1:09:17.040 want to care not at all, and I don't I 1:09:17.160 --> 1:09:22.759 don't know where to be about all of that negative 1:09:23.200 --> 1:09:23.799 hate stuff. 1:09:23.960 --> 1:09:26.679 Yeah, and the hardest thing is to steparate. Is there 1:09:26.680 --> 1:09:29.280 a kernel of truth that we can learn from or 1:09:29.400 --> 1:09:32.000 is it just purely trying to harsh our vibe? And 1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:34.719 can we fight through that? Because it can't harsh my vibe, 1:09:34.800 --> 1:09:37.320 especially if I do something dumb. I got canceled for 1:09:37.400 --> 1:09:39.519 something that was sort of semi legitimate, like six or 1:09:39.520 --> 1:09:41.720 eight years ago, and it was it was brief. It's 1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:43.160 only a couple of days in the news, and some 1:09:43.200 --> 1:09:44.599 of the news was kind of positive. 1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:45.800 It could have been way worse. 1:09:46.120 --> 1:09:49.120 But I made a mistake and I didn't like making 1:09:49.120 --> 1:09:51.280 a mistake that everyone knows about, right, And I know 1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:53.519 you can relate to this, but it's the like, no, 1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:55.559 everyone knows I made a mistake, and I don't like 1:09:55.600 --> 1:09:56.240 making mistakes. 1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:57.479 It's just like anyone else. 1:09:57.640 --> 1:09:59.840 It's the I'm in a line of work where if 1:09:59.880 --> 1:10:01.120 I make a mistake, I have to admit it and 1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:03.000 talk about it on shows and stuff. 1:10:03.240 --> 1:10:04.840 But I don't like it. 1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:07.320 It was not fun, even though I think the way 1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:10.280 the media way overreacted to it, and I think that 1:10:10.400 --> 1:10:12.360 helped in a way. And it kind of makes you 1:10:12.360 --> 1:10:16.040 seem cool because it shows how people you get rise 1:10:16.080 --> 1:10:16.559 out of people. 1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:18.920 So it's not without a silver lining. I didn't like it. 1:10:19.000 --> 1:10:21.080 Now I'm publicly being pointed out. 1:10:21.160 --> 1:10:21.360 Hah. 1:10:21.520 --> 1:10:23.160 That is not a good feeling. 1:10:23.240 --> 1:10:25.960 Yeah, And it gets strange that it's very much like 1:10:26.760 --> 1:10:30.080 I don't know why. 1:10:29.280 --> 1:10:30.440 There's plenty of celebrities. 1:10:30.439 --> 1:10:33.040 I guess I think I wouldn't like, but I couldn't 1:10:33.080 --> 1:10:37.360 imagine writing a big thing to them, Like, I just 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:39.360 don't get why anyone would want to do that. 1:10:39.479 --> 1:10:44.559 Yeah, the picturing the person in their basement, and we 1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:46.680 know who they are, we know their trolls, Like, these 1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:49.400 are not people who have a scratched handicap because they'd 1:10:49.400 --> 1:10:51.320 be on the golf course. These are not people who 1:10:51.360 --> 1:10:53.320 are moving around a lot of money and you know, 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:56.360 thinking about how they're going to get their next supercar, Like, 1:10:56.439 --> 1:10:59.360 these are people who are not confident, people who are 1:10:59.360 --> 1:11:00.880 struggling like themselves. 1:11:01.160 --> 1:11:02.040 And do you reply to them? 1:11:02.040 --> 1:11:04.679 They go, oh my god, you must be a loser 1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:05.680 to respond to me. 1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:07.599 Yes, I'm like, that's what you think of yourself. 1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:12.320 You think so badly of yourself that me replying makes 1:11:12.360 --> 1:11:14.920 me more of a loser to even talk to you, Like, 1:11:15.280 --> 1:11:17.479 I just can't get my mind around it. 1:11:17.600 --> 1:11:19.920 The thing that my dad always told me that had 1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:22.640 the most effect on me was when he was disappointed. 1:11:23.240 --> 1:11:25.240 And so that's always the move. Like, if you ever 1:11:25.240 --> 1:11:27.240 want to criticize someone, this is to the audience. If 1:11:27.280 --> 1:11:29.680 you ever feel so compelled that you're going to take 1:11:29.760 --> 1:11:32.280 pen to paper to write, Jeff, why you didn't like 1:11:32.320 --> 1:11:34.680 his his his Cafe Nico batter you didn't like his 1:11:34.720 --> 1:11:37.400 pasta bit Like if you don't like that, say Jeff, 1:11:37.400 --> 1:11:38.439 this bit disappointed me. 1:11:39.160 --> 1:11:41.960 That might work maybe if they knew me, it might, 1:11:42.160 --> 1:11:44.439 but you know, strangers saying it wouldn't do. 1:11:44.920 --> 1:11:49.920 So this is where I feel like the if you 1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:53.599 have the ability to acknowledge that and to go through 1:11:53.640 --> 1:11:56.080 the mindset, how is this person? What could they be 1:11:56.080 --> 1:11:58.280 doing with their day? They feel compelled to rage on 1:11:58.320 --> 1:11:58.719 the internet? 1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:01.040 Crazy that that's where I lose. 1:12:01.240 --> 1:12:03.040 Also, I'd be friends with that guy if you just 1:12:03.080 --> 1:12:05.120 came and hung out with me. Like. That's the other 1:12:05.160 --> 1:12:06.920 part that I don't understand too, is like. 1:12:07.840 --> 1:12:08.479 Uh, like. 1:12:10.040 --> 1:12:12.640 I genuinely believe like I'm a nice guy, Like I 1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:15.759 would probably buy a drink for any of those people 1:12:15.880 --> 1:12:19.000 that are like talking trash if they just ever met me. 1:12:19.080 --> 1:12:20.960 The guy is actually a pretty nice guy. Like, I 1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:24.360 don't get what this what is the motive to Just. 1:12:24.320 --> 1:12:25.720 Have you ever had that interaction work? 1:12:25.720 --> 1:12:28.479 Because I've had a couple of those interactions where people 1:12:28.520 --> 1:12:30.760 think we would hate each other and then I'm kind 1:12:30.800 --> 1:12:33.280 of good, more good natured than they're pleasantly shocked. 1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:36.360 Yeah, happened all the time. Yeah, every night in my 1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:36.720 mean grade. 1:12:36.720 --> 1:12:37.880 The guy I thought I was gonna hate you, and 1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:40.200 you you're good. You're good. This was a good show, 1:12:40.240 --> 1:12:40.519 all right. 1:12:40.600 --> 1:12:43.680 So I know we're going way back, but I'm fascinated 1:12:43.720 --> 1:12:46.640 by this because I do think comedy is it is 1:12:46.680 --> 1:12:50.320 so relevant right now. So you're so you're at the 1:12:50.320 --> 1:12:52.920 club and this is a give me the version of 1:12:52.960 --> 1:12:55.160 your working on material night in LA and you're on 1:12:55.200 --> 1:12:58.280 the road. What's what is the what's the workday like 1:12:58.720 --> 1:13:01.080 for what? So you you show up to the club, 1:13:01.120 --> 1:13:04.040 but like are you crashing flash of people? Are you cramming? 1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:05.760 Are you going through bits in your head? 1:13:05.880 --> 1:13:06.080 Yeah? 1:13:06.120 --> 1:13:08.280 When I get there, I try to not see anybody. Yeah, 1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:10.720 I don't want to see anyone. It feels like you've 1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:14.720 really broken the allure if they watch walking through, like 1:13:14.760 --> 1:13:17.000 with your bag and everything like, so like I always 1:13:17.000 --> 1:13:20.000 try to that's so right, not be seen until after 1:13:20.040 --> 1:13:22.240 the show, because sometimes people will catch me in the 1:13:22.280 --> 1:13:23.519 parking lot, like can we get a selfie? 1:13:23.560 --> 1:13:24.960 I'm like, what if the show sucks? What are you 1:13:25.000 --> 1:13:26.120 going to delete this? Yes? 1:13:26.880 --> 1:13:29.599 So I I always try to just sneak into. 1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:30.439 The club no matter what. 1:13:30.960 --> 1:13:35.360 He sucked tonight that selfie, you know, So I always 1:13:36.680 --> 1:13:39.040 I don't want to see anybody, And in the green room, 1:13:39.200 --> 1:13:42.240 I'm usually you know, putting a pen to paper a 1:13:42.240 --> 1:13:45.200 little bit kind of organizing what I might say, just 1:13:45.280 --> 1:13:47.880 in chunks or in bits, and then I smoke a 1:13:47.920 --> 1:13:51.080 cigar outside, usually in the back area, sometimes in the 1:13:51.080 --> 1:13:54.080 green room, and then we do the shows. I always 1:13:54.080 --> 1:13:56.679 have a meet and greet. The problem is not everyone 1:13:56.840 --> 1:13:59.040 wants to pay for a meet and greet or they 1:13:59.040 --> 1:14:01.200 don't care, so we allow them. Like if you just 1:14:01.240 --> 1:14:03.439 buy one piece of merch, you basically get to do 1:14:03.479 --> 1:14:05.720 the meet and green So then I shake all those 1:14:05.720 --> 1:14:07.599 hands and then we do that twice. And then at 1:14:07.600 --> 1:14:10.160 the end of the night, I'm not as excited to 1:14:10.160 --> 1:14:11.600 go out. I used to go out and drink with 1:14:11.640 --> 1:14:14.000 the audience no matter where I was at, and now 1:14:14.040 --> 1:14:16.160 it's become a little bit too much as far as 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:18.600 like I'm being pulled in too many different directions, or 1:14:18.600 --> 1:14:21.920 people act weird. And then also like you're tolerance for 1:14:22.000 --> 1:14:24.360 drunk people lowers as you get sober. 1:14:24.880 --> 1:14:25.400 Yeah yeah. 1:14:25.439 --> 1:14:27.280 And also now we're in an age where people are 1:14:27.280 --> 1:14:29.240 always trying to get viral and they can go viral 1:14:29.360 --> 1:14:31.599 for doing any and you don't even have to reply. 1:14:31.720 --> 1:14:34.080 They could just yell something insulting and if they like 1:14:34.360 --> 1:14:37.600 nail the delivery, then it's like the dunked on me 1:14:37.640 --> 1:14:38.880 really dunked on toastage. 1:14:39.520 --> 1:14:43.160 Yeah, or like sometimes even just the optics of me 1:14:43.320 --> 1:14:46.880 being at a bar isn't great, you know, so be 1:14:46.920 --> 1:14:48.960 cause I am I'm a big I love being sober 1:14:49.160 --> 1:14:51.920 right happy about it, and but like so usually I'll 1:14:51.960 --> 1:14:53.640 try to hang for a little bit and then if 1:14:53.680 --> 1:14:55.960 it gets unruly, like I take off, you know. 1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:56.479 And so. 1:14:58.000 --> 1:15:00.040 Yeah, I still like being around drunk people, and I 1:15:00.320 --> 1:15:02.000 my friends drink and do drugs and all that. 1:15:02.040 --> 1:15:04.760 But like I think that like my talish is just 1:15:04.800 --> 1:15:05.479 a little lower. 1:15:05.560 --> 1:15:08.439 So yeah, I leave pretty quick watching wrestling in my 1:15:08.520 --> 1:15:10.120 hotel and eat food. 1:15:10.520 --> 1:15:13.080 Very very very good day. And I love to see 1:15:13.240 --> 1:15:13.439 I love. 1:15:13.479 --> 1:15:15.240 Maybe I'll follow you around one day, would be pretty 1:15:15.240 --> 1:15:18.479 cool to see you the Do you have a favorite 1:15:18.520 --> 1:15:19.040 venue size? 1:15:19.080 --> 1:15:19.760 I always like. 1:15:19.720 --> 1:15:22.400 Asking comics to talk to them because I feel like 1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:26.200 there are some people you feel like someone. Some people 1:15:26.400 --> 1:15:28.800 feel like they'd only be comfortable Mathson Square Garden, and 1:15:28.840 --> 1:15:31.000 then others they might be a huge name, but they 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:34.200 probably rather do two hundred seats of just they feel 1:15:34.240 --> 1:15:35.160 like they're close friends. 1:15:35.200 --> 1:15:37.120 Do you want to hear my philosophy on this, please? 1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:40.120 I tell ever, I've never said it on a thing. 1:15:41.800 --> 1:15:45.559 Comedy is meant to be in a comedy club. It 1:15:45.600 --> 1:15:48.600 isn't meant to be at the beautiful Paramount theater. It 1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:51.559 isn't meant to be at the arena or the crypto 1:15:51.760 --> 1:15:54.240 dot com like, it's just not meant to be there. 1:15:55.200 --> 1:15:59.439 Do you know Broadway plays the reason they're not people 1:15:59.439 --> 1:16:02.439 don't stream and put it on YouTube, or they don't 1:16:02.439 --> 1:16:06.080 put it on NBC is because Broadway needs to be 1:16:06.439 --> 1:16:09.679 at a theater, and you need to see live theater 1:16:09.960 --> 1:16:13.599 in the live theater. There's a connect. When I grew up. 1:16:13.840 --> 1:16:15.760 When I grew up, I thought plays were gay. I 1:16:15.760 --> 1:16:17.920 was like, theaters gay, I'm not watching that. And then 1:16:17.960 --> 1:16:19.760 I went to like my first Broadway play when I 1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:21.920 was living in New York weeping. I was like, this 1:16:22.040 --> 1:16:26.040 is amazing. They're so talented. They're remembering all their lines 1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:29.280 and all their blocking and the costume changes in the set. 1:16:29.400 --> 1:16:33.600 It's phenomenalgree. Theater is a masterpiece. 1:16:33.960 --> 1:16:36.320 But there's a reason you don't video it and put 1:16:36.320 --> 1:16:37.720 it on YouTube or television. 1:16:37.880 --> 1:16:40.519 It's meant for that. Same with stand up comedy. 1:16:40.760 --> 1:16:42.400 You could start a special and be like, I turn 1:16:42.400 --> 1:16:45.680 it off after six minutes because it's not made for Netflix. 1:16:46.200 --> 1:16:48.160 Stand Up comedy is meant to be in a club 1:16:48.960 --> 1:16:51.479 that's that might be one hundred seats, that might be 1:16:51.479 --> 1:16:53.880 four hundred seats, but a comedy club, that's what it's 1:16:53.920 --> 1:16:57.599 supposed to be. Bert Kreischer my favorite example of this, 1:16:58.160 --> 1:17:00.240 and I love Bert, Love you buddy, if you're if 1:17:00.280 --> 1:17:02.880 you hear this, nothing but respect and love for you. 1:17:03.360 --> 1:17:05.519 But when you saw Burt Kreisler at like a funny 1:17:05.520 --> 1:17:08.639 Bone dude, there was nothing greater. 1:17:08.880 --> 1:17:09.839 It's magic. 1:17:10.680 --> 1:17:13.200 You feel like you're hanging out with this guy you've 1:17:13.240 --> 1:17:15.360 never met, but like you feel like you know him. 1:17:15.479 --> 1:17:18.280 Sure his shirt is off and he's making you laugh, 1:17:18.320 --> 1:17:21.400 and he's drinking and you're drinking with him in a way, 1:17:21.439 --> 1:17:25.439 and you're this idea that like, I know Bert, but 1:17:25.560 --> 1:17:27.920 I don't know Bert, but I know a guy like Burt, 1:17:27.920 --> 1:17:31.360 and I'm like Burt and like this magic. But that 1:17:31.560 --> 1:17:34.879 magic got so large that now Bert's at the arena 1:17:35.320 --> 1:17:38.280 and you paid fifty bucks to see Bert or sorry 1:17:38.320 --> 1:17:41.040 you paid fifty bucks to park, you paid two hundred 1:17:41.160 --> 1:17:43.640 to get to sit, and you're now watching him on 1:17:43.680 --> 1:17:46.719 a monitor and he's this big, he's down there and 1:17:46.720 --> 1:17:50.240 there's not this connection. It's not Bert's fault, but like, 1:17:50.360 --> 1:17:54.280 that isn't the format to see him. It doesn't work, 1:17:54.320 --> 1:17:56.800 It doesn't translate. You can't put a monster truck show 1:17:56.800 --> 1:17:59.040 at the comedy club, and you can't put comedy at 1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:01.160 the venue where the monster truck should be. 1:18:01.479 --> 1:18:02.719 And so now you start. 1:18:02.600 --> 1:18:05.800 Nitpicking Bert's material. You start, oh, I know I've heard 1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:09.000 this story or that joke. Maybe, isn't You were never 1:18:09.120 --> 1:18:11.439 nitpicking it when you were just hanging out and slashing 1:18:11.479 --> 1:18:13.599 beers with the boys at the Funny Bone, right, And 1:18:13.640 --> 1:18:17.599 that's because comedy is meant to be at a comedy club. 1:18:17.960 --> 1:18:21.080 And so I love clubs. I hope I never you know, 1:18:21.120 --> 1:18:21.519 I hope that. 1:18:21.600 --> 1:18:23.840 I mean, I obviously, if I ever get successful enough 1:18:23.840 --> 1:18:25.679 that they want me to do arenas, like that's gonna 1:18:25.680 --> 1:18:29.000 be great money. But you can point to this podcast 1:18:29.040 --> 1:18:31.000 with you say women, when you were with Alex, you said, 1:18:31.040 --> 1:18:32.720 comedy club, that's what it's supposed to be. 1:18:33.320 --> 1:18:34.599 I do have to observe if you're at the rye 1:18:34.640 --> 1:18:36.240 An Auditorium this weekend, which is. 1:18:36.320 --> 1:18:40.360 Well on fifteen minutes with kid Rock. Yeah, I'm like 1:18:40.439 --> 1:18:43.200 literally popping on that show. That's not a Jeff Daies show. 1:18:43.400 --> 1:18:46.320 That's funny though, No, but I think that's so great. 1:18:46.320 --> 1:18:47.960 And I think that I talked about this with movies 1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:50.479 a lot, about how you really miss so much just 1:18:50.520 --> 1:18:52.439 watching at home. And I'm a guy watching ninety percent 1:18:52.439 --> 1:18:54.400 of my movies at home and just you miss some 1:18:54.439 --> 1:18:56.280 of them at the theater. Yeah, some are meant to be 1:18:56.320 --> 1:18:59.280 in a theater. I totally agree. I have a theater family. 1:18:59.400 --> 1:19:01.920 It's just like Broadway is one of the greatest art 1:19:02.000 --> 1:19:05.120 forms we had as a country, and it has completely 1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:06.160 been degraded for. 1:19:06.120 --> 1:19:06.920 What is it about the theater. 1:19:07.000 --> 1:19:08.479 Let me push back on that a little bit because 1:19:08.479 --> 1:19:11.960 I heard Tarantino recently rant about how one of the 1:19:12.280 --> 1:19:14.519 one of our movies, right, But he's also like he's 1:19:14.560 --> 1:19:16.800 he's he didn't really think that out very well, or 1:19:16.800 --> 1:19:18.760 at least in what I saw, it didn't seem like 1:19:18.760 --> 1:19:20.599 you did. It's like, have you seen how good our 1:19:20.600 --> 1:19:23.439 home TVs are? Now? Look at that thing usually that's 1:19:23.479 --> 1:19:26.600 just on pause behind you. That's like, like we have 1:19:26.680 --> 1:19:29.880 some of the best technology that's better than what a 1:19:29.960 --> 1:19:32.840 movie theater was in like nineteen seventy seven. 1:19:33.080 --> 1:19:35.559 Those of you who are missing the visuals, Jeff has 1:19:35.600 --> 1:19:39.280 done the whole show in a small radio studio in 1:19:39.400 --> 1:19:41.640 Ama seventy The answer, I've done it in front of 1:19:41.640 --> 1:19:44.880 the Griffith Park Observatory here in LA you could see it. 1:19:44.960 --> 1:19:46.720 This is good. We thought this one through Daniel, so 1:19:46.800 --> 1:19:48.080 this was this was a good call. 1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:50.840 What is the the WME movie experience is so much 1:19:50.840 --> 1:19:53.120 better than it once was. So it's not like we're 1:19:53.240 --> 1:19:56.520 not enjoying the movies just because we watched it on Netflix. 1:19:56.880 --> 1:20:00.439 So I think that it's the personal connection and seeing 1:20:00.439 --> 1:20:02.599 other people's reaction is I think part of. 1:20:02.600 --> 1:20:05.360 It next to strangers. It's a sixth sense, I think, 1:20:05.360 --> 1:20:05.760 I think so. 1:20:05.920 --> 1:20:08.720 I think that's probably, But for me, I'm more in 1:20:08.720 --> 1:20:10.800 that camp is the the second we got to the 1:20:10.800 --> 1:20:15.040 ten eighty p I've been to four pro sports events 1:20:15.120 --> 1:20:17.559 since then, Like which was you know, I was sixteen 1:20:17.600 --> 1:20:20.479 and my dad brought home a Sony Bravia forty inch TV, 1:20:20.560 --> 1:20:21.679 which probably costs as much. 1:20:21.560 --> 1:20:22.080 As the car. 1:20:22.439 --> 1:20:24.639 And I'm never going to pay for another Lakers ticket, 1:20:24.760 --> 1:20:28.160 Like I could see the reflection in the floor. 1:20:28.320 --> 1:20:29.720 You could see the reflection. 1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:32.320 Plays better than floor seats exactly. 1:20:32.439 --> 1:20:33.360 And I was like, that's it. 1:20:33.439 --> 1:20:35.880 I'm just watching from here, and movies are the same 1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:38.280 and you get the great sound system. But there is 1:20:38.320 --> 1:20:41.599 something about being with comedy particular. It does feel like. 1:20:41.640 --> 1:20:44.439 Well, that's why people laugh so much, because you're next 1:20:44.439 --> 1:20:45.040 to strangers. 1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:45.400 Yeah. 1:20:45.439 --> 1:20:48.360 Also, that's what makes something seem more shocking. Yes, it's 1:20:48.439 --> 1:20:51.640 because you're like, we're talking about like this in society, 1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:54.280 you know, we usually talk about this behind closed doors, 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:57.479 you know, Like you watch a murder on your movies, 1:20:57.680 --> 1:20:59.680 you know, and like you don't think anything's weird about that, 1:20:59.720 --> 1:21:03.439 but you wouldn't. Everything is a little more taboo when 1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:04.600 you're around strangers. 1:21:04.760 --> 1:21:04.960 Yeah. 1:21:05.160 --> 1:21:07.840 Look, I'm a guy who talks about my faith and family, 1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:09.920 and I am on a conservative radio station and on 1:21:10.000 --> 1:21:13.320 a conservative website, and I like a lot of transgressive entertainment, 1:21:13.360 --> 1:21:16.240 like a horror movie stuff like that. The stuff Tarantino 1:21:16.280 --> 1:21:18.760 programs at his theaters out here are unbelievable. I go 1:21:18.760 --> 1:21:20.760 to half my movies at his theaters, which are all 1:21:20.800 --> 1:21:21.559 revival theaters. 1:21:21.640 --> 1:21:23.559 Yeah, because he's picking more. 1:21:23.320 --> 1:21:25.840 Interesting stuff than what's being sent to the you know, 1:21:25.880 --> 1:21:29.080 the Regal Cinema is in Santa Clarita, California, Like, it's 1:21:29.120 --> 1:21:29.920 way more interesting. 1:21:30.120 --> 1:21:34.240 Also, if these directors and all these people have such 1:21:34.240 --> 1:21:37.439 a problem with the current state of movies, yeah, then 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:39.080 start making good movies. 1:21:39.160 --> 1:21:41.639 Yes, stop remaking everything. 1:21:41.760 --> 1:21:45.680 Stop like, like I don't understand how, Like, maybe make 1:21:45.720 --> 1:21:46.960 a film in Los Angeles. 1:21:47.080 --> 1:21:48.559 Let's try that if you want. 1:21:48.600 --> 1:21:50.920 If you care about all this stuff so much, if 1:21:50.920 --> 1:21:55.880 you love like classic Hollywood, stop shooting in Toronto because 1:21:55.920 --> 1:21:58.839 you're gonna save a bunch of money. Yes, stop shooting 1:21:58.880 --> 1:22:03.320 in Atlanta and Detroit because you're so cheap. Like, if 1:22:03.320 --> 1:22:07.160 you have such a pride for Hollywood and classic cinema, 1:22:07.240 --> 1:22:08.240 maybe shoot something. 1:22:08.080 --> 1:22:10.040 Here what strikes me. And you could speak to this 1:22:10.160 --> 1:22:12.640 more than I can. I have some family and the 1:22:12.640 --> 1:22:15.320 peripheries of Hollywood, but not by any means, part of 1:22:15.320 --> 1:22:19.120 the industry at any meaningful level. I'm stunned by how 1:22:19.240 --> 1:22:23.400 there's no self reflection by the people whose industry, who 1:22:23.680 --> 1:22:27.040 people who are workers who have a career in Hollywood 1:22:27.080 --> 1:22:29.280 but are not big shots by any means. And when 1:22:29.320 --> 1:22:31.400 they book a big movie that does mean that they're 1:22:31.400 --> 1:22:33.320 going to leave their family for nine weeks and go 1:22:33.360 --> 1:22:36.760 to Winnipeg or go to Georgia, and they seem to 1:22:36.760 --> 1:22:40.120 be completely comfortable with this, and no one says, oh, 1:22:40.280 --> 1:22:42.880 we messed up. We did this to ourselves with the 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:46.320 regulations and the taxes and whatever. The union pandoric, not 1:22:46.360 --> 1:22:49.719 to say all the private sector unions I'm generally okay 1:22:49.760 --> 1:22:52.240 with because it's them or the giant corporation. 1:22:52.680 --> 1:22:54.240 It's a tough call some days. 1:22:54.479 --> 1:22:57.200 But overall, Hollywood was in Hollywood and now it's not. 1:22:58.240 --> 1:22:59.920 And no one in Hollywood put their hand up in 1:23:00.000 --> 1:23:01.920 said mess it up? 1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:03.240 Can it up? 1:23:03.280 --> 1:23:06.000 They've messed everything up. And also this goes back to 1:23:06.000 --> 1:23:07.400 my early thing when I was saying to you, it's like, well, 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:09.439 what's wrong with being a billionaire? What's wrong with the 1:23:09.439 --> 1:23:13.320 giant corporation? In fact, those giant corporations have so much 1:23:13.360 --> 1:23:15.600 money that they could maybe I don't know, shoot some 1:23:15.640 --> 1:23:18.799 things in Hollywood stop being cheap. If you're a giant corporation. 1:23:18.880 --> 1:23:21.360 Shop like, there's nothing wrong with a billionaire. There's something 1:23:21.400 --> 1:23:24.200 wrong with a cheap billionaire. There's nothing wrong with a 1:23:24.880 --> 1:23:30.040 guy who drives a Cadillac, you know, Bentley, whatever, it's 1:23:30.160 --> 1:23:32.840 when he doesn't tip the valet when he's when he's 1:23:33.160 --> 1:23:36.000 parking that thing, you know, So like just be be 1:23:36.240 --> 1:23:39.040 generous with these things, and so like, yeah, like I 1:23:39.080 --> 1:23:42.120 don't know when this happened, but Hollywood is a ghost. 1:23:42.120 --> 1:23:45.040 I went to the Universal Studios, took like a tour 1:23:45.560 --> 1:23:47.400 and they're like where the movies are made. You're like, no, 1:23:47.439 --> 1:23:49.720 it's not the old tour was like yeah, this is 1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:51.280 the set of back Draft. 1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:55.519 You're like old, Like how old is this? And they're like, yeah, 1:23:55.560 --> 1:23:57.240 this was from Honey, I shrunk the kids. 1:23:57.240 --> 1:24:00.559 You're like, what is that? How watch out job everybody. 1:24:00.600 --> 1:24:02.040 I'm like, this is dog cram. 1:24:02.120 --> 1:24:03.280 Yeah, it's really right. 1:24:03.280 --> 1:24:05.519 They really leading on stuff that's been fifty years ago, 1:24:05.880 --> 1:24:07.559 and no one puts their hand up and said this 1:24:07.600 --> 1:24:08.000 is sad. 1:24:08.280 --> 1:24:09.479 It's bad. Yeah, it's wor wrong. 1:24:09.800 --> 1:24:11.760 It's a big opportunity for guys like you people doing 1:24:11.840 --> 1:24:14.080 stand up. I guess the last one for now, Jeff 1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:15.880 and I would love to do this again from time 1:24:15.920 --> 1:24:19.639 to time. I think it's a really interesting guys. You're 1:24:19.680 --> 1:24:21.720 on a great trajectory, but you're doing all these cool 1:24:21.720 --> 1:24:24.080 different things.
