So you 130 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: left college to try to pursue comedy, right, Yeah, I 131 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: actually did you know? I played baseball in college and 132 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't a very good student. I wasn't you know. 133 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: I I enjoyed school because I enjoyed people, and I 134 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: was just having fun in college. But I didn't know 135 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: really what I wanted to do. But I I set 136 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: out a semester. I went to semester so that I 137 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: could make money. So this is back when parents actually 138 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: made um their kids work for college, you know. Yeah, 139 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: I actually had to get a job and play for college. 140 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: And so I sat out and I started working, and 141 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: then I was making good money as a bellhop and man, 142 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I just I my friends dared me to go on stage. 143 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: One night. I went on stage and I just got hooked. 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: I loved stand up, I loved comedy, and I just 145 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: never went back to school because I kind of figured men, 146 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: I really like doing this, And that's when I said, man, 147 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: in fact, can make a living doing this and I'd 148 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: be happy. So that's why that's when I started doing it. 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: How hard is it? I imagine, like because there's so 150 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: many people, I mean, it's such a competitive industry, right, 151 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: Like there's so many improvs, there's so many people trying 152 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: to get in to make a name of themselves. I 153 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: imagine it's just got to be like an incredibly tough 154 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: industry to cut your teeth in and make a name in. 155 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: How hard is it? Yeah, you know it? Uh, man, 156 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work. It's it's it's changed 157 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: from today than it did when I started. Um uh, 158 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: you had to do a ton of one night or 159 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: as he had to pack your car and then a 160 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: lot of comedians still do that. But you know, we 161 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: didn't have those. Uh, we didn't have podcasts, and we 162 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: didn't have all these other venues to get your name out. 163 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: We had you either did it two ways. You either 164 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: just your butt on the road constantly, or you moved 165 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: to l a New York and you went up constantly 166 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: every night hoping that you would be discovered by somebody. Um, 167 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I took a more unconventional route where I did not 168 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: go to Layer, New York. But I started pushing my 169 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: character Larry the Cable Guy on radio stations all across 170 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: the country. And so what I did was I just 171 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: became a part of everyone's everyday routine. Because back in 172 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: those days, back in the eighties in the early nineties 173 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: morning radio, everybody had their favorite morning radio show when 174 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: they would go to work and come back home, and 175 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: they had those familiar voices. So I became part of 176 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: everyone familiar voice on the way to work and the 177 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: way home from work. And that's what enabled me to 178 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: uh start doing Larry the Cable Guy in comedy clubs 179 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: in the cities where I was on on the radio, 180 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: and it just became popular that way. So I never 181 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: had to go to l A or New York. I 182 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: did it um just by merely getting up early every 183 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: morning at six o'clock every morning and going through a 184 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: rolodex of of morning shows across the country that had 185 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: put me on to do three and a half four 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: minutes of comedy in the form of a commentary. So 187 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: how much of like jokes are like you're you're you 188 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: know kind of just like in the car, you think 189 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: of something funny, you write it down, versus like you're 190 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: just on stage and you're like freestyling. Like, what what's 191 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: sort of that like process like in terms of you know, 192 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: coming up with some of these jokes, coming up with 193 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: some of these bits. What does that look like for 194 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: a comedian? Well, you know, early on, you have a 195 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: set of jokes that you know we're gonna work, and 196 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: you try and you go up and you have to 197 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: you do those every night. You're not comfortable, you haven't 198 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: done a stand up. You're trying to figure it out. 199 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: But when you get a few jokes that work, obviously 200 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: you go up and do those and then you try 201 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: out other material. But the more you do it, it's 202 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: like Steve Martin said, it takes a good ten years 203 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: just to get comfortable with yourself on stage to where 204 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: you can really let loose. And that's pretty much what 205 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: happened to me. After a while, when you get a 206 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: pretty good set list down and you're feeling comfortable on stage, 207 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: that when you just start tagging jokes and creating material 208 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: while you're on stage and uh so, uh it starts 209 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: out slow. You know, you bomb a lot and then 210 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: you get a joke here and a joke there, and 211 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: and then as you continue to do it, and time 212 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: goes on and you get more and more stage time, 213 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: you get start feeling really comfortable, and then the real 214 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: you starts to show up and and then you can 215 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: really really um start to to write as you're on stage. Um. 216 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: I want those comics that do that. I know there's 217 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: some comics that stick to a script, but I do 218 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: a lot of I definitely do a lot of my 219 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: writing on stage and adding onto jokes. I'll do a 220 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: one liner and then I'll follow it up with another punch, 221 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: another punch, and another punch. And some of those are 222 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: you just sit down and think of him, man, But 223 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: a majority of them or you're just in the zone 224 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: and you're on a roll and man, it just it 225 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: just pops in your head and you just go with it. 226 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: How much fun was the Blue Collar Comedy Tour? Oh man? 227 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: That was probably the greatest thing ever. I mean, those 228 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: are some of the greatest memories I'll ever has. Um. 229 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's really cool. And they started calling this 230 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: uh the uh the redneck um uh rat the redneck 231 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: rat pack, you know, because it really was. It was 232 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: like a redneck rat pack, and I don't think there'll 233 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: ever be anything else to come along like that. It 234 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: happened just at the right time, at the at the 235 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: exact moment it should have happened, and uh, we just 236 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: had a blast. Those are memories that none of us 237 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: will ever forget. And and people always ask what we 238 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: ever do it again? And I'm gonna be honest, I 239 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: don't know if we ever will do it again, because 240 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: here's the risk you run. It was such an awesome 241 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: it was such an awesome thing to do and to 242 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: have that. I don't think it can ever be replicated, 243 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you don't want you want people 244 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: to remember for what it was. You don't want to 245 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: start to do it again and then people go, ah, 246 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: it was funny, but boy, back in the day it 247 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: was even better. You know, we'd like to avoid those 248 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: back in the days. You know, you don't want that, 249 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: do you want to be remembered? Well, no, that's that's 250 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: totally fair. Because like I'm watching the like Sex and 251 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: the City reboot, it's like nothing, you know, first of all, 252 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: it's been so long, but it's like it's not out. 253 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't capture with like sex in the city, you 254 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's like sometimes I think 255 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: like people try to remake stuff and it's just like, 256 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, like keep the magic, how people remember it, 257 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, like sometimes you don't recruit, you can't recreate magic. Sometimes, 258 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, absolutely when you when you it's never the same. 259 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: It's like when they try to recreate TV shows or 260 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: were classics, they're just not the same. They're funny and 261 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: there's some good ditch and they're they're not the same. 262 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: We we're trying to that that. We don't want that 263 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: to happen, you know. I know, I'm not discounting one 264 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: day when we're all in our seventies, maybe seeing us 265 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: for a weekend in Vegas as a reunion tour. But 266 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, but as fun as right now, we don't 267 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: even we don't even entertain that idea. So what's it 268 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: like to get roasted? Because you did? You got roasted 269 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: in a Comedy Central. I always like watch those and 270 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I wonder what it feels like to be the person 271 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: who's just getting like, you know, completely botted by the 272 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: people around you. What's it what's it like to be roasted? Well, 273 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: number when you gotta have real thick skin, and you've 274 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: got to be able to take a joke, which I can. 275 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: You know, there's you got. If you're gonna dish it out, 276 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to take it, and you gotta 277 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: have thick skin. But it was well, you know, first 278 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: of all, it was an honor because when I did it, 279 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: those things were very young. You know, those were just 280 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: brand new things. And uh, I was able to pick 281 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: my roasters. There was only three people that were on 282 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: that dais that I didn't pick. The Comedy Central said 283 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: they had to have. But everybody on there was a 284 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: friend of mine, and so I knew what was coming. 285 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: And I remember my buddy Nick Depolo. Um, he came 286 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: up and he goes, hey, Dan, he goes he would 287 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: he actually would like um because it okay, here's a joke. 288 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: I said, Nick, just dude, it's a roast. Man. I 289 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: get it. We're buddies. But do what you gotta do. Man, 290 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: just hammer me. It'll be a blast. Just came and 291 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: me and so that's what they did, and it was looked. 292 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: I knew what it was, and uh, it was. It 293 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: was fun. I enjoyed it. Now, I will say this. 294 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I said that my mom is probably gonna watch this. 295 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: So I told everybody I said, looks trying not to 296 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: be super dirty, because my mom's gonna watch this. And 297 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: so I picked certain people that I knew that wouldn't 298 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: you know. But then when they aired it, it was like, oh, 299 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: it was balls out. So I was like, well, so 300 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: much for that. I'd better not tell my mom. Yeah, 301 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: you're like, don't don't watch mom, Actually, never mind.

He goes, Absolutely, 333 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: he goes, not because I don't like you and I 334 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: don't think you're a good guy. I'm mad at your 335 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: success because that's the success that I want to have. 336 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: But I screwed it up doing stupid things, and that's 337 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: just a nice intimate conversation that I had with him, 338 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: and he gave me a hug, and it was it 339 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: was good. That was you know, that was the only 340 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: thing that u uh where somebody had said something where 341 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: people thought, man, he really hates Dan, he really hates 342 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: her to you, But he doesn't. He didn't hate me. 343 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: He was just mad that I was successful because he 344 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: wanted to have his way. And I mean, nobody really 345 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: knows those things because those are things that happened afterwards. 346 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: But um, as far as the roast itself goes, you know, 347 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: I did it because it was I thought it was 348 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: an honor. And I think the roast later on dot 349 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: to the point where they did start getting people up 350 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: there that they just hated and they wanted to hammer them. 351 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: You know. So it's like, uh, what's her name that 352 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: went up that was you know, the political lady? Um, uh, 353 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, Ann Coulter. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 354 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: It just means, you know, it's like when Anne did it, 355 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: I didn't find it funny at all. They didn't really 356 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: like her, and so it was just an opportunity to 357 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: just go up at hammer and I think the whole 358 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: purpose of it was for that, but she wanted to 359 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: sell that book. You know, she was selling a book, 360 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: and I get it, but I think those you know, 361 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: I think early on it was a pretty good honor 362 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: to be able to get one of those, and I 363 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: don't know, I think later on it just turned into 364 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you can only do so many you know, 365 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: by the way, what can I say on this show 366 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: about cancer? Oh you can say whatever you want. It's 367 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: a podcast, so oh yeah, but you know, there's only 368 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: so many. There's only so many Dick and Veginia jokes 369 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: that you can do, you know, in an hour and 370 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: a half, where at some point you're like, okay, let's 371 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: get something clever. But it's like, yeah, I feel like 372 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: sometimes people like with jokes either sometimes it's like way 373 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: too vulgar, and I'm just like I'm kind of you know, 374 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: like it's sort of like come on, you know, it's's 375 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of uncomfortable and most or like when I went 376 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: it was like during Trump stuff, so it was like 377 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: all basically like anti Republican, anti Trump, and I'm like, dude, like, 378 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're not some of us are conservatives here, 379 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, like what do you what do you think 380 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: of like today's comedy compared to like, you know, back 381 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: in the day, Like how much has it changed? Well, 382 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: you know, here's the deal. I'm I'm a fan of comedy, 383 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: and anybody that has a following, they have worked hard 384 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: to develop that following. So I don't really blast you know, 385 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: even comics that I don't like. It's like, hey man, 386 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: they're doing stand up. Somebody must like them. They're selling 387 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: tickets somebody, you know. So I'm not you know, I don't. 388 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those ones that tells anybody what 389 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: to do in their act. If that's what they want 390 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: to do, that's what they want to do. If there 391 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: I've always been this, if their act offends, you don't 392 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: go see them. Let the free market place decide who's 393 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: funny and who should be rewarded. I've always been like that, 394 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: So I you know, if they want to bash conservatives 395 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: all day long, I honestly do not care. I mean, 396 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: it's none of my business. I'm just not going to 397 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: go see them. The problem is, it's it's like a 398 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: one way street when it comes to that. It's like, uh, 399 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: certain certain jokes now seem to be a kay and 400 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: other ones aren't okay. And um, they'll let certain comics 401 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: tell certain jokes and other comics instead of just not 402 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: listening to them and saying, well, that's inappropriate, I'm not 403 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: going to go see him. They try to force comedy 404 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: clubs or try to force theaters or try to force 405 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: people from hiring them because they don't like what they're saying. 406 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: That's when it goes too far. I don't want that 407 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: for anybody. It's like the guy that they said was 408 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: saying this stuff and he got he booted off Saturday 409 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: Night Live. And now you know it's like, well, you know, 410 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: let's let the marketplace decide, you know, just let the 411 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. It's supposed to be a place with 412 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: all different kinds of humor, and they bambooze everybody it 413 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: used to be. Um, it's just I've always been a comedian, 414 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: and I've always stuck up for all comedians, whether I 415 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: like what they're saying, whether I don't like what they're saying. Um, 416 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna be a part of it. I mean, 417 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand why people just can't do that now 418 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: they if they don't like what and obviously it's coming 419 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: from It comes mainly more, I would say, from the 420 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: far left and the far right, because um, they always 421 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: try and just you can't work anymore if you don't 422 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: if you can continue to tell these jokes, you can't 423 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: work anymore. And I always I don't care. The far 424 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: right shouldn't be canceling any comedian for what they say, 425 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: and the far left shouldn't be canceling any comedians for 426 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: what they say. We live in a free country. Let 427 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: the free market decide. I totally agree. But it's like, 428 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, we watch like S and L and it's 429 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: like all bashing Republicans and it's like it's fine, Like 430 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: I can totally laugh, Like people can make fun of 431 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: me whatever. Like I grew up with three brothers. Basically, 432 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's just like a lifetime of like emotional 433 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: physical abuse when you have three brothers. It's like, can't wait, girl, 434 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, so like totally fine with it, don't care. 435 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: But it's like, I mean, well you look at Biden. 436 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: That's the target rich environment, you know, but like he 437 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: basically remains unscared. I mean, the guy is like essentially 438 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: it depends and it's like you know what I mean 439 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: like you think that there would be some jokes there 440 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: for like S and O that they could cover. You know, well, 441 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: there's a ton of Biden jokes there. There's a ton 442 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: of Biden jokes there. And that's the thing that's very 443 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: frustrating with the late night comedians. Um, if you're telling 444 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: jokes and you're just getting applause and not laughter, you're 445 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: more of a political pundit than you are a comedian. 446 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Johnny Carson was the best day that he 447 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: land blasted everybody. He did a joke about everybody. Uh, 448 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: and you couldn't really tell which way Johnny leaned. And Um, 449 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: but you know, here's the thing now, Lisa, that I see. 450 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: It's almost like Hollywood and the media have their own 451 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: alternative world where they don't care about this x percentage 452 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: of the country. It's like they do. It's like the 453 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: late night shows. As long as they can get their 454 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: two point seven or their three point one or whatever 455 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: it is they they need to pull in their advertising dollars. 456 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: As long as they get that percentage, they don't care 457 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: about anything else, and they will only do jokes that 458 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: that part of their audience likes. And the hell with 459 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: everybody else don't listen to us. They don't care. They 460 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: don't care if the right listens to them. They don't 461 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: need them to stay in business. And when I say 462 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: it's almost like an alternative world they've created, it's like 463 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: when you sit down and you watch television, you know, 464 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: we saw all these commercials around Christmas about now it's 465 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: time that we finally can get together with family members 466 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: and we can finally enjoy at Christmas, And you're thinking, 467 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: for the last year and a half, that's all we've 468 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: been doing is living our life normal. So it's almost 469 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: like they're only broadcasting for certain areas of the country 470 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: that buy into everything they're selling, and it's the heck 471 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: with everybody else. When it's like, well, wait a minute, 472 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: you do realize the majority of the country is living 473 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: life as normal. Why would you run that commercial? Because 474 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: they're running those commercials for just those people that they 475 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: are talking to. I think that's what nils it because 476 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: it's it's even like it's almost moved beyond just like 477 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: right versus left stuff. Right, Like it's like it's almost 478 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: like an elitism versus the rest of America thing, And 479 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: like there's so many parts of the country as you 480 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: pointed out, that are just being left out of the 481 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: conversation that you know that they, like our officials right 482 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: now don't even care about that. The media doesn't even 483 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: try to speak to that, Hollywood doesn't try to speak 484 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: to and that's what you spoke to with like the 485 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: blue Collar Comedy Tour and some of the jokes that 486 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: you did. So it's like, I think you kind of 487 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head that there's like this 488 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: huge part of the country that is just being left 489 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: out of the equation right now. Absolutely, and you know 490 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. It's like you can't, like, 491 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: it really sucks. I used to love watching the shows 492 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: at night that you can't even watch them. They literally, 493 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: they literally don't do one joke about the current president, 494 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: who is a mine field of comedy entertainment. If if 495 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: this was Trump or this was just some other conservative president, 496 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: that it would be full of sketches and videos and 497 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: but nothing. They don't touch any of it. And it's unbelievable. 498 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: So it just just lets you know that they don't 499 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: They have certain people they want to make happy, and 500 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: the heck with everybody else. They don't care if you 501 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: believe me, they don't care. They do not care if 502 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: you don't as long as they're pulling in the number 503 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: they need, they don't care. And uh, I mean that's 504 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: the way it is now, that's the way it's gonna be. 505 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: When you watch television, literally all the commercials that are 506 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: being run, all the advertising that is being run, for 507 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: the most part, does not pertain to anybody that I've 508 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: been hanging out with. I mean, I mean We've literally 509 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: been meeting as families and having dinners together and going 510 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: out and I mean it's it's it's crazy. It really 511 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: is crazy. But you know, and it's SU's as far 512 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: as me being a comedian, it's you know, now you 513 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: have to like think twice before you do send out 514 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: a joke that's a Biden joke for fear that woke 515 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: mob is going to jump on you for the joke. 516 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: And it's you know, you never used to have to 517 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: do that. Um. I still send some stuff out there 518 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: I think is funny. I'll still do it, but it's like, man, 519 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: just the fact you have to have that second thought. Um. 520 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm a comedian first, I stick up. 521 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: I stick up for the business. I stick up, you know, 522 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: and I'm glad that Bill Moore does that too. I 523 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: don't agree with a ton of stuff Bill Moore says, obviously, 524 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: of everything he says, I don't agree with. But I 525 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: stick up to Bill Martin because Bill Mare is a 526 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: comedian and he's sticking up for an industry. He is 527 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: sticking up for comedy and freedom of expression, and that's 528 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: what comedy is all about. And so did Dave Chappelle. 529 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they try to cancel him, and 530 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: I think he did the smartest response, which was just 531 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: not to back down and to continue to make jokes 532 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 1: about it, you know. So I mean it's like they 533 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 1: even came for Dave Chappelle. Yeah, and Chappelle is awesome. 534 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: He's a super nice guy and he's super way more 535 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: smarter than all everybody. But you know, I think it's 536 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: funny though, when they come out and they go finally 537 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: there's a comedian out there that's actually doing comedy. It 538 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: doesn't care what anybody thinks. Let me tell you, there's 539 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: a lot of them out there that are still doing 540 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: comedy and don't care what anybody thinks. They're just not 541 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: getting any breaths. Do you think your character could have 542 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: taken off today in today's world with just like all 543 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: this like woke sort of anti blue collar sentiment in 544 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: the country. Almost No, absolutely, absolutely not. I mean that's like, uh, 545 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: that's like saying, can some of these shows from the 546 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: seventies takeoff? Can can you running all in the family anymore? 547 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Of course not, because nobody can take a joke. I 548 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: mean when my character started, it's evolved so much from 549 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: what it was because I never thought I'd ever do 550 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: it on stage. My character was a total Archie Bunker 551 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: type character that was only for radio and it did 552 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: social commentaries. So no, I mean when I used to 553 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: get away with in the nineties would never ever fly today. 554 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: So no, I don't believe it would um the jokes, 555 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: I but maybe as myself doing the jokes, But I don't, 556 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: I don't, you know what it's hard to say, but 557 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: the character itself. No, I can pretty much say that 558 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: that wouldn't have got the time of day if I 559 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: started it now. But isn't it like beyond even comedy. 560 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: I feel like Americans have lost a sense of humor, 561 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: Like everyone takes themselves so seriously in today's day and age, 562 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: no one can take a joke. It's like there's such 563 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: a heaviness to like the country, right, It's like when 564 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: when did everyone did so lame? And how did that happen? 565 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: And why did it happen? Yeah, that's that is the 566 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: big mystery. You know, God has given everyone a sense 567 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: of humor because a sense of humor helps you deal 568 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: with situations that everybody is created with a different sense 569 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: of humor. Some of that. That's how you develop a following, 570 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, you find people that have the same sense 571 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: of humor that you have. That's why some comics get 572 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: followed by other people because they have a different sense 573 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: of humor. But people have just taken their sense of 574 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: humor and put it in the closet for some reason. 575 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: And it is really sad that people can't laugh. I 576 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: just did. I spend had a joke the other day 577 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: about um about pertaining the I was eating something about 578 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: a Costco hot dog, and I said, if you think 579 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: those people were you think that people were shocked that 580 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: they were eating bats in China. I said something about 581 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: try eating a hot dog at Costco. I think I 582 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: found ground zero for the next pandemic, you know. Just yeah, 583 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that people loved those hot dogs so much, 584 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: and people were mad at me. They were literally furious 585 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: that I was making fun of the Costco hot dog. 586 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, holy mackail, it was just 587 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: a joke. I'm sure the hot dog is delicious. That's 588 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: not the point of the joke. It's it's just a 589 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: stupid one liner joke. It's like, holy Maco, but they 590 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: really have people have just gone nuts quick commercial breaks 591 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: or with Larry the Cable Day, don't It's funny sometimes 592 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: like what ends up like setting rights, Like you can 593 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: say all this stuff that like you think, like, oh 594 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: am I gonna get in trouble with this, like you 595 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,959 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like people truly, you know, people 596 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: aren't gonna love what I'm saying.

And you're just like what like like 606 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: you were saying, like the hot dog ended up being 607 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: like the crime, you know, like that's what was offensive. 608 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: It is like the Yeah, absolutely, you never know what 609 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: you never know what it's going to be. It's like, 610 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's like a zip that propert up on 611 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: the face.

But I gotta you know, I just don't care. 614 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna do my jokes until I can't do 615 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: them anymore. And I think more people should be like that, 616 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: just do your jokes until you can't do them anymore. 617 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: And and I mean, hopefully there'll be enough comics that 618 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: come out and stick up for comedy that we can 619 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: continue to do what we want to do. You know, 620 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: they say that that will never happen here. Comedy will 621 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: always be but you know, in Canada there were two 622 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: comics that were already fine for being offensive in Canada 623 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: and had to pay money. And and I tell everybody, 624 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: that's all that's gonna tell you. And as you start 625 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: sticking up for comics that you don't even like they 626 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: got in trouble for saying something, it's gonna come here. 627 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: All that's gonna take is for one person to get 628 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: offended of the comedy club and sue the comedy club 629 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: and find a judge that agrees, and the comedy club 630 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: gets sued and they have to pay money, and that's 631 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: all it's gonna take, because after that they're gonna want. Well, 632 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: let's see what you're going to talk about, rightious, the 633 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: script of what you're saying, we don't want to get sued. 634 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: You think I'm kidding, but I'm not kidding. We are 635 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,959 Speaker 1: not far from that right now. Now, I I don't 636 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: think you're kidding, and I totally agree. And I feel 637 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: like similarly with media, it's like, okay, you can try 638 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: to moderate everything you say so like you don't risk 639 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: you don't increase your risk of being fired or cancelation 640 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: or canceled. But then it's like what's the point in 641 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: doing that, right, Like why you even have a platform 642 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: then if you're not saying what needs to be said 643 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: and like to your point about like what's going on 644 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: in Australia just like we're in such dire times right 645 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: as a country, and like we're almost truth needs to 646 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: be out more than ever, and so it's actually like 647 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: more important than ever, like you said, to just do 648 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: your job, to just keep making jokes, to not worry 649 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: about the consequences. And I feel the same with the 650 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 1: media is it's just more important than ever to say 651 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: what needs to be said, to speak the truth because 652 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: to your point, we might not be able to you know, 653 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: if we don't write that course now, then we might 654 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: we might lose that opportunity in the future. Well, absolutely, 655 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: that's a fact. And that's why as a comedian, I 656 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: mean I know about comedy, but that's what comics need 657 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: to do. Just do what you do and critics be damned, 658 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, just have some balls. And whether you're a 659 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: political comic or a one liner comic or a character comic, 660 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: do what you think is funny. Do what you think 661 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: is funny. Let the free market this side if they 662 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: think it's funny as well. I mean, that's that's what 663 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: you need to do. And it is. You know, we 664 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, but it was harder for me 665 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: than to do staying up than now, how how or 666 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: was it to get started? I would say now, comics 667 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: that already have a following like me, like Chappelle and 668 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: Bill Burr and all these guys that already have a following, 669 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: they don't care because they're always going to have a following. 670 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: People are gonna come see them regardless. People are going 671 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: to book them because they sell tickets. The people that 672 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: are gonna have a hard time are those comics now, 673 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: the ones that are up and coming, the ones that 674 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: are trying to get there. I mean, they're you know, 675 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be harder for them to do jokes, 676 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: to come up with other jokes, because they're gonna get 677 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: shut down. I mean, there'll be certain groups that don't 678 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: like what they're gonna say. And I mean, you know, 679 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: our our material, we already got it out there and 680 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: people know what we're all about, and they like it. 681 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: They think it's funny. They're gonna come see us. The 682 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: problem now is these comics, Uh, can they do the 683 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: same Can they continue to do such same kind of 684 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: material and build up an act or are they going 685 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: to be told what they can and cannot say we 686 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: weren't really told what we can or cannot say. We 687 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: said whatever we wanted and developed the following. Now you're 688 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: being told what you can or cannot say anyway. That's 689 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: what it seems like to me. Well, and what's weird too, 690 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: is it's like, you know, like so we I've like 691 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: retweeted stuff, and you've retweeted stuff like with COVID, you know, 692 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: both on our Twitter, and it's like, first of all, 693 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: like everyone's gone insane with it, Like you were talking 694 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: about how they're like, oh, we can finally spend time, 695 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, a girl like I've moved to Miami a year. 696 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: I've been going to like clubs, you know, like I've 697 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: been living my life. And but like, what is what 698 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: blows my mind is like, so you know what like 699 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: a year ago, two years ago, you couldn't say I 700 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: mean I said them anyways, but like you really couldn't 701 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: say some of these things without condemnation. And now like 702 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: this CDC is just casually dropping all these truth bombs 703 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: on the public. Like there's a difference between going into 704 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: the hospital with COVID from cloth masks don't work if 705 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: you're obese, you know, like all these things that we've 706 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: been saying. But yeah, it's like the they're like, we 707 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: may have like destroyed all of your lives for like 708 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: the past two years, but like, by the way, you're 709 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: all right, you know, it's like like what do you 710 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: even make of that? I mean, isn't it just like 711 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: I like, I can't even get over this. It's just 712 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: it's like it's mind blowing. It's it's really crazy. I 713 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: was laughing about that because it's like anything I ever 714 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: sent out that I took flak on has happened. But 715 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: we were crazy, like right, they were calling this crazy. 716 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: We've been right. I know. It's it's it's undescribable. I mean, 717 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's, man, I don't know what to say 718 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: about it is it is just so dumbfounding that people 719 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: still it doesn't matter if it came true, they still 720 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: and and I've noticed a lot of this too. It's 721 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: like when somebody comes out with some information and you're like, 722 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: wait a minute, maybe there should be examined. It's like 723 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: when the it's like when the whole uh iver met 724 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: and thing came out, you know, and uh well, instead 725 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: of actually being journalists and going well let's see about this, 726 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: let's see they attack anybody that brought it up. Instead 727 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: of somebody going out and finding information and putting that 728 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: information out and people that's value valid information, it seems 729 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,280 Speaker 1: like the person sending out the information starts getting attacked 730 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: and they don't ever talk about the information, you know. 731 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's why Rogan gets it gets hammered 732 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: so much, because Rogan is actually having people on that 733 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: are scientists talking about the information and about what this means. It's, uh, 734 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: they always they always go after the deliver of the 735 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: news that they don't like instead of looking at the news. 736 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: So in saying no, I totally see you're saying. And 737 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: he's smart, like you were saying, like you are as well, 738 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,479 Speaker 1: and like Chappelle of like you know, he doesn't back down, 739 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 1: right because like the second, like if the mob wants 740 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: to take you down, like the second you give them 741 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: n inch, they're gonna kill you, right, So it's like 742 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: you just cannot you cannot back down, like you just 743 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: have to stand paul against them. And then eventually they 744 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: find like their next target and they move along. But yeah, 745 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: it's like it just it just it blows. And then 746 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: the thing too, is like I think you're such an 747 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: elitism with it as well, is It's like even in 748 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: like our personal like I'm sure you have, like you know, 749 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: if had friends kind of be upset with me, maybe 750 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: turn their back on me a little bit. Family members 751 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: get upset. I've lost job opportunities, you know, like you've 752 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: had these consequences. But there are people who have lost 753 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: like I've committed suicide, like overdoses, like you know, people 754 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: have lost their life. I mean they're there are, yeah, 755 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: Like there's real harm that has been done to like 756 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: so many people, and it's like they just don't even care. Well, 757 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,959 Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know if they I think 758 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: you're just I think a lot of these people that 759 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: have been pushing this that has turning out now to 760 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: be absolutely wrong information. Even CNN now's backtracking and starting 761 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 1: to say things that we've all been saying. Um, they're 762 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: trying to cover themselves, you know, they're they they're they're scared. 763 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: They don't want that. They just can't admit that they 764 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: were wrong. They can't admit they're wrong. They cannot admit anything. 765 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: If they admit they're wrong, Uh, then that's coming down 766 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: on them. So they can't admit it. And it's you know, 767 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: it's like It's like in India and in Africa, these 768 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: certain parts where they completely are done so well with 769 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: containing and getting rid of it, but yet nobody's investigating 770 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 1: why that is, why, what did they use what? It's 771 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: like the media, it just shuts down. They don't investigate 772 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: any of this stuff. It's like all of these people 773 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: that all these doctors that came out, uh some that 774 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: I know that come out and say, this is what 775 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: we did and this helps, this is what we did 776 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: and this helped, this is what we did this well, 777 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: instead of like, man, let's uh, let's interview them. Let's go, 778 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: we're journalists, let's see what they did. Let's see if 779 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: there's something to this. Instead of that, they just shun it. 780 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: And it's like these guys suck, they're not good doctors. 781 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, wait a second, where does what 782 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: does this attitude comes from. It's really a bizarre thing. 783 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: And I remember this a long time ago. March of 784 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: CNN had on John Loonidas, John lon and IDAs, and 785 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 1: they literally build him as the most downloaded, the most 786 00:44:54,840 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: per reviewed epidemiologist in the world, John Lononidas from Anford 787 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: and you can look him up and after this interview 788 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: you didn't hear from me much anymore. They all said 789 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: he was a cook and a whack and kind of 790 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: trying to ruin his life. This is what he said, 791 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 1: lisaid March. Now that they have information from all around 792 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: the world, here's what they've they're concluding. Um, he wasn't 793 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 1: sure about the two weeks. Um they've never done this before, 794 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: but since they really didn't have a handle on it, 795 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: he understood why they did it. Now that we have 796 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: all this information from around the world, it's not a 797 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: good idea to do anymore lockdowns because lockdowns will cause 798 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: so much mental problems, drinking problems, drug abuse, and we 799 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: can't keep kids out of school. They're gonna fall behind 800 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: if we continue to do some sort of a lockdown. 801 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: This is going to be more harm, way more harm 802 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: than what we're seeing with this. He said. If you 803 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,720 Speaker 1: are sixty five and older and you have secondary third 804 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: health conditions, this is more dangerous than the flu, and 805 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 1: you should be careful, and you should be careful going 806 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: out in public. I would even say if you need 807 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: to go out and you think you need to wear 808 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,720 Speaker 1: a mask, were one. If you're sixty five and under 809 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: and you are a fairly healthy person. We're finding out 810 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: that this is equal to or less than the flu 811 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 1: the younger that you get, this is rarely affecting any 812 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: young people. Anybody twenty four and under is pretty much 813 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: this isn't affecting. And he went through everything that is 814 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: happening today John Loewan and IDAs said March of and 815 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: he was shunned and ridiculed, and now everything he said 816 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: has come true. And that's the problem. Is actually why 817 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: that's actually why I started this podcast was during the 818 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: age of COVID because I read his out ed and 819 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,240 Speaker 1: stat news from Stanford and it made so much sense 820 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: to me, and he was really the only one that 821 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: was making sense at the time, and so that that's 822 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: why I started it, because I was like looking around 823 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like everyone is pushing the extreme in these 824 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: Drewconian policies and we have terrible data and no one's 825 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 1: trying to get to the truth. And so that's why 826 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to build this podcast was to have a 827 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: place because I was like, there's so much freaking noise 828 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: out there in the media. There's so much group think. 829 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: Everyone's just following along. It's like no one's even trying 830 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 1: to dig deeper and like get to the truth or 831 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: even having people like you know, Dr needs On, who's 832 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 1: a freaking you know, an expert in this right, Like 833 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 1: no one's even trying to give him a platform. And 834 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: so that's why I wanted this podcast was to really 835 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: like build a place to have some of these conversations 836 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: that you can't have elsewhere, and to dig deeper than 837 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: like all the group thinking all the noise that was 838 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: going on, and it's like, and you're right, his out 839 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 1: ed is he stild? Right? Everything he wrote back then 840 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: held true to and like what's what's insane all this 841 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: stuff too? Was you tweeted about this U recently? I 842 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: saw on your tweets about like okay, so basically the 843 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: CDC just said that, um what I think. It's like 844 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 1: almost of the people who were hospitalized, placed on eventor 845 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: died from COVID nineteen were overweight. Yeah. Like media was 846 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: like pushing free Crispykreme donuts to like go out and 847 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,800 Speaker 1: get vaccinated. You had like this places in California filled 848 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 1: skate parks of sand, like we've you know, we pushed 849 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: all this body positivities. It's like like we we literally 850 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: live in an insane like, it's insane. We live in 851 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 1: a insane world. There's another thing I sent out from. 852 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: It was from I can't remember what country was. It 853 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: was from one of the South American countries, but anyway, 854 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: sent somewhere anyway, but they were running commercials and I said, 855 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: how come we're not running these commercials and it's and 856 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: it was a whole commerce full about, uh, we care 857 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: about our citizens and in order to fight COVID, we 858 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: need to have a healthy country. We encourage you to 859 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: get outside, get fresh air, um, eat the right foods, 860 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 1: eat that you know, and they were showing the get 861 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: a nice diet, get a good workout plan, go to 862 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: the gym. It was a whole thing about getting in shape, 863 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: getting fresh air, getting your body moving. And guess what, Uh, 864 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 1: social media took it off. Social media took off a 865 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: commercial about getting in shape and bettering yourself. And people 866 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: wonder why we're so hesitant for this or why do 867 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 1: we question that. I'll tell you why, because a crap 868 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: like that, Because that's exactly why it's everything's being questioned 869 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: because of that kind of crap. And then they wonder 870 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 1: why people are hesitant to take a vac scene. I'll 871 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: tell you why they're hesitant to take the vaccine because 872 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 1: the news media didn't not being but demonized the vaccine 873 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: for for seven months until Trump got out of office, 874 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it was the greatest 875 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: vaccine on the planet. You can't for seven months demonize 876 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: something saying something might kill you. I don't trust something 877 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,760 Speaker 1: that's rushed like this. Never have we ever done this before. 878 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't trust this. And then two weeks later, after 879 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: your guy gets in office, tell everybody, oh, it's sake, 880 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: you're an idiot if you don't take it. I mean, 881 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 1: it's it's looney bien. We're living in well. And then 882 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: it's also they're like, oh, you can't have questions. But 883 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: then previously they're like, if you get the vaccine, you're 884 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: not going to get COVID, And then obviously that's not 885 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: happening because everyone's getting COVID regardless of your backs there 886 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: and I and then you have the head of Fighter 887 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: basically just recently said like two doses doesn't really do anything. 888 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 1: You need to do three. So it's like but then 889 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 1: there's simultaneously being they're like, you can't ask questions, and 890 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 1: I'm like wait, wait, wait a minute, Like, first of all, 891 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: like you know, you said this one thing that has 892 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: and held up. Now you've got that, you know, you 893 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you have all this contradictory information, 894 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 1: and then they're just like shut up and get it. 895 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: And then like you don't ask questions, and I'm like no, 896 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: like wait a minute, yeah, of course I'm going to 897 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: ask questions because you people keep lying to me, and 898 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,319 Speaker 1: you keep lying to the public, and then you don't 899 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: even care about the damage in the carnage you're creating 900 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 1: in the process. So like, you know what, go after yourself. 901 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get it. No. Absolutely, it's absolutely 902 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: insane that they think by going to understand why people 903 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 1: are so because because because you're you're banning, um, you're 904 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: banning very knowledgeable epidemiologists that have just as many credits 905 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 1: as Fauci from the internet. You're taking them off YouTube, 906 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 1: You're you're banning anybody that has a dissenting opinion that 907 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: are just as smart as the other guy. It's like, look, 908 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: we've tried what this guy is selling. It ain't working. 909 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,280 Speaker 1: Maybe we should try one of these other guy's ideas 910 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 1: that you keep banning, and the more you bann and 911 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 1: the more people are gonna be hesitant, and the more 912 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: people are gonna be questioning the more you ban. Uh, 913 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: it's absolutely ridiculous. And I think more and more people 914 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 1: are starting to catch onto this thing. I think they 915 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,879 Speaker 1: forget there's a YouTube out there, and I think they 916 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: forget that people. Uh, there's we've been talking about nothing 917 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,280 Speaker 1: for the last two years. So we remember two years 918 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: ago what you said and it's not happening. And now 919 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,320 Speaker 1: you're changing what you said two years ago and saying 920 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: you didn't say it when you did say it. Um, 921 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, it's it's oh my gosh. It's 922 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: just I try not to I try to live my 923 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: life and just I turn off news and I I think, 924 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's just oh my gosh. Here's what they 925 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 1: should have done. They said, you're giving me a heart attack. 926 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 1: Here's what they should my stress levels going through the rip. 927 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: Here's what they should have done. What they're doing in Florida. 928 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: If you're if you don't feel safe, then by all means, 929 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: whatever you need to do to make yourself feel comfortable, 930 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: feel comfortable. If you're comfortable, if you want to get 931 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: a vaccine. Get the vaccine, Talk to your doctor, see 932 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 1: what he thinks. UM, wag it out. We're gonna leave 933 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: all this up to you, guys, because obviously, um uh, 934 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: obviously um. If uh you get this, seven percent of 935 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: you are going to be completely fine. Most of you 936 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: aren't even even know you have it. UM. So you 937 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: do what you feel best that you need to do. 938 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 1: But one thing you don't want to do is divide 939 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: the country over stupid stuff. Obviously, mass don't work. They 940 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 1: don't work. If they work, If they work, things would 941 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 1: be going down, things would be so they don't work. 942 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: So why don't you give people the choice? You know 943 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: you're in Florida. I got a place in Florida. I 944 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 1: go to Florida a lot. And it's a whole different world. 945 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 1: Nobody's at each other's throats. If people want to wear 946 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: a mask, nobody's yelling at them as they want to 947 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 1: wear a mask. But the difference is nobody's being forced 948 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,439 Speaker 1: to do it, and people are getting along. And so 949 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 1: anywhere you're getting forced to do it, you're having people 950 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 1: at each other's throats and it's doing nothing but dividing 951 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: the country and um over something that doesn't work. I 952 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: got to tell you though, like, um, I just had 953 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 1: COVID and UM, like a few weeks ago, and when 954 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: I got it, I was like, just don't die, because 955 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: there's way too many people that would feel like dancing 956 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,839 Speaker 1: on my grave. So I was like, just you cannot die. 957 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was fine, but yeah, it was like going down. 958 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,279 Speaker 1: I know that would be horrible, and I do be 959 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 1: one of the ones going Danniel, Dannilies, why did you 960 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: shut up? But it seems like here's the thing that 961 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: you've seemed. Just look, I'm just living my life. I 962 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 1: wanted to what's best for my family and kids. I'm 963 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: not I'm not dictating anybody do anything, but just in 964 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: your normal life and what you hear on TV and 965 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,280 Speaker 1: the news and and what you see are two different things. 966 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: There are two different things. And so you know, I'm 967 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: going by what my doctors say and I'm going by 968 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: what I see in real life. UM. You know, and 969 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 1: that's that's the only thing I can do. You know. 970 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: I know this. I know that I had COVID and UM, 971 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 1: I know that I've never gotten it again. And I 972 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: know a bunch of people that have gotten vaccinated and 973 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 1: every one of them go COVID. I mean, it's it 974 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense what's happening. It makes no sense. 975 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: So I think we would get along so much better 976 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: if they didn't dictate what you do with your health, 977 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: and you leave it up to that person's individual safety. 978 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 1: Leave the kids, uh personal stuff up to their parents 979 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 1: and their doctors. I think I think if we did 980 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing in Florida, everyone would get along 981 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: so much better and you would see a lot of things. Uh. 982 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: I think this might be. And I heard a thing 983 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 1: today where um, it's coming out of Israel of the 984 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 1: UK or said something that amcron is a good thing. 985 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: This means it's the end of it. It's it's more contagious, 986 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:39,280 Speaker 1: but it's way less. I mean, it's way less deadly 987 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 1: than anything. I mean, it's like a cold. And they 988 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 1: said they think it's going to peak in three weeks 989 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the end of it. It's gonna 990 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: it's it's literally acting like a normal food season. I 991 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: hope so, because I'm just I'm tired of all the crazy. 992 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm tired of all the lectures. I mean, I think 993 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 1: there needs to be like retribution for all the damage 994 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 1: done and the people replied and stuff like, I'm just 995 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 1: so ready to like I'm tired of just all the 996 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 1: crazy that has come over the past two years. Like 997 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 1: I just I want and I feel like some of 998 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 1: the some people I know that have been like more 999 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,319 Speaker 1: kind of crazy about it, they're starting to realize. I 1000 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: think that basically everyone's gonna get COVID and there's not 1001 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: much you can do, so you just gotta live your life. 1002 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 1: No exactly, And you know, it's like you said earlier, 1003 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 1: we both read the same guy, John Lewan, and I 1004 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 1: just he told us exactly what's going to happen and 1005 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: how to deal with it in the outcome of it, 1006 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: and everything he said has come true, And you're right, 1007 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: everybody's going to get it. It's he was exactly right 1008 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 1: in his diagnosis of what it was. So we're going 1009 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 1: to have to live with it. And the one thing 1010 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: we don't want to do is end our country over it. 1011 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, to to make people lose jobs and and 1012 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: and and and ruin your kids and and all these 1013 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: mental problems. You definitely want to do that. But you said, 1014 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: I hope there's some retribution and some people pay they're 1015 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: not I have I don't think it's gonna happen because 1016 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,479 Speaker 1: they'll pass the blame. They'll pass the buck. They'll blame 1017 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: it on somebody else. These people that are in charge 1018 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: right now don't give a ship. Uh, they will pass 1019 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 1: the buck. They will pass them. And they're already starting 1020 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: to change their narratives and nobody's gonna nobody's gonna have 1021 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: any any any They're not. Nobody's gonna get in trouble 1022 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 1: for any of it. It's it's just gonna pass. And 1023 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: then they're gonna be onto something else. And then the 1024 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: medi'll create some other little thing that everybody's going to 1025 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: pay attention to, and then all this will blow over, 1026 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 1: just like everything else, and people forget about it. I mean, 1027 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: I hope not. I believe me, I hope not. Somebody 1028 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 1: better pay for this, because every decision they've made is wrong. 1029 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 1: Every decision these leaders have made with the lockdowns and 1030 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 1: people losing their jobs, they're responsible for every one of 1031 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 1: these suicides at all of this, And I'm with you. 1032 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: I hope there's retribution and they pay and they get 1033 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 1: caught and they have to answer for their bullshit. Uh. 1034 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 1: Bad diagnosis is But I don't think it's gonna happen. Well, 1035 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: And to like one thing that anways me is like 1036 00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: they're like somehow if you're against lockdowns, you're against all 1037 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 1: these are coning and policies like you don't care about 1038 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 1: like protecting Grandma that didn't work. Like we did all 1039 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: these things and we had Grandma. Still, you know, we 1040 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: still had a significant loss of like even more under 1041 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, Biden than we did even under Trump during 1042 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 1: all of this, So we still had a significant loss 1043 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: of life. And then you you had the added loss 1044 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: of suicides and all the unnecessary carnage that came on 1045 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: top of it. So it's like, no, actually you're the 1046 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: one that is not only were the elderly still put 1047 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 1: at risk, but we've also done all this additional carnage. 1048 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 1: So but and it was before we go I wanted 1049 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: to get you on on Bob Sagga because I saw 1050 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: your tweet tweeted that you hung out with them one 1051 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: night at the Orlando Improgue.

I'm taking the advice of other countries other 1097 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: than America telling me I need to start to lose 1098 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,520 Speaker 1: some weight if I want to beat COVID, so that's 1099 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Unlike you know, Blasio telling me to 1100 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: come get a cheeseburger for a cheeseburger doughnut. So smart that, 1101 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean that really is like America's response to COVID, 1102 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 1: right like that, that just summarizes how dumb it's all bad. 1103 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous, it really is. It's cartoonist when you 1104 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: think about it. You know, oh, beef, people are dying 1105 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: of COVID. So in order to entice you to get 1106 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 1: a vaccine that doesn't prevent you from getting COVID, um, 1107 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 1: come get a cheeseburger and a hot dog, which is 1108 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why you're getting COVID because you're fat. 1109 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I think we we we've we've practiced. Uh, it's it's 1110 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,439 Speaker 1: it's also stupid. But Dan, thanks so much for joining 1111 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 1: the show.
