Speaker 1: Daniel Whitney, otherwise known as Larry the Cable Guy. You know, Dan,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining the show. Um so good
Speaker 1: to have you. Oh yeah, thanks for asking me to
Speaker 1: come on. And I apologize I'm in my car right
Speaker 1: now because I got my time zone screwed up. But no,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be on. Thank you. Also, are we
Speaker 1: close enough for me to call you? Dan? Are we?
Speaker 1: Is that? Uhstely? Absolutely? You know that's a That's the
Speaker 1: crazy thing about my whole career. You know. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: a kid, you know, I'm in that long line of
Speaker 1: one liner character comedians. And uh I did a bunch
Speaker 1: of care acts, but the Letter the Cable Guy thing
Speaker 1: just took off and just real briefly, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: I was working on this character way back in the
Speaker 1: late eighties the early nineties, and uh, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: who gave me incentive to keep doing it. I got
Speaker 1: off stage one night at the Comedy Corner in West
Speaker 1: Palm Beach, Florida doing the character, and just so happened
Speaker 1: to work that week. They were co headlining was David
Speaker 1: Spade and Rob Snider from Saturday Night Live, and both
Speaker 1: of them came up to me and said, man, damn,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep doing that. That's hilarious. That's like a
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live character. That was so funny. And I
Speaker 1: was just blown away by it because those guys were
Speaker 1: out Saturday Night Live and you know, and so I did.
Speaker 1: I just kept working on it, and I'm friends with
Speaker 1: those guys, uh today, and uh so it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: So everything I did from that point on it became
Speaker 1: it just became the huge deal. And you know, we
Speaker 1: had merchandise and all kinds of stuff, and there were
Speaker 1: times when I said, it's like when I did to
Speaker 1: pitch our stuff, and when I did made her, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I'd like to do this as myself,
Speaker 1: as Dan Whitney, and then my management would always go, no, man,
Speaker 1: Larry the cable guy in a brand. It's a brand.
Speaker 1: You've got a whole brand. You gotta keep it in
Speaker 1: the brand. And so so I did. So it's really
Speaker 1: funny now every time I do something people are conflicted
Speaker 1: of what sh they call me? But I mean like
Speaker 1: you turned a bit into like a huge thing, right,
Speaker 1: like as you mentioned, like Made Her and cars. Like
Speaker 1: my producer was like, oh, like, my son's like so
Speaker 1: stoked because you know it's you're from Made Her, right,
Speaker 1: Like You've done I mean you've had billboards, comedy albums
Speaker 1: that have certified gold, you know, multiple movies. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've done the blue collar comedy. I mean you've done
Speaker 1: like so much with it. So it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: is it kind of blow your mind that you sort
Speaker 1: of like you know, kind of came up with this idea,
Speaker 1: this like character, and then now it's sort of morphed
Speaker 1: into this like monster thing you talked about, like merchandise
Speaker 1: and like all this other stuff. It's kind of crazy
Speaker 1: to back on all that. Yeah, it's it's been amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm very thankful. I you know, I never expected any
Speaker 1: of that. I just, unlike a lot of comedians, you
Speaker 1: just wanted to die into the business because you like
Speaker 1: being funny and you like making people laugh, and you
Speaker 1: just wanted to make the living at it and do
Speaker 1: something that you loved. And anything else that came along
Speaker 1: was extra and so like all that stuff, the movies,
Speaker 1: the book, all that stuff just came along. I didn't
Speaker 1: even ask for it. I remember when I did my
Speaker 1: first movie, I didn't even know it was for theatrical
Speaker 1: release till the last week of filming, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean that came to me and said, hey, we want
Speaker 1: to do a movie. You want to do a movie,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, let's do a movie. You have
Speaker 1: to be awesome. Well, well you should ask well kind
Speaker 1: of movie because I could also get you well exactly. Well.
Speaker 1: The first thing I ever did was Yer the Cave
Speaker 1: by Health Inspector, and uh so they got this good.
Speaker 1: They go, we got this movie called The Health Inspector.
Speaker 1: Lardy the cable guys the Health Inspector. It's a funny script.
Speaker 1: And so we're thinking about doing some movies with you.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, that is awesome, and they go, um,
Speaker 1: you want to do it? And I said, well, was
Speaker 1: it funny? And they go, well, we'll send you the script.
Speaker 1: And I said, well did you read the script? And
Speaker 1: they go yeah, And I go is that funny? They go,
Speaker 1: yeah's hilarious. I said that's good enough for me. Well,
Speaker 1: and it all worked out. Yeah, most of this stuff
Speaker 1: I had lived to it anyway. So but you know,
Speaker 1: I've just been very grateful, very thankful, uh that people
Speaker 1: enjoy my sense of humor. And I've always been a
Speaker 1: fan of one liner comedians and old time comics and
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's it's been pretty awesome. So you
Speaker 1: left college to try to pursue comedy, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually did you know? I played baseball in college and
Speaker 1: I wasn't a very good student. I wasn't you know.
Speaker 1: I I enjoyed school because I enjoyed people, and I
Speaker 1: was just having fun in college. But I didn't know
Speaker 1: really what I wanted to do. But I I set
Speaker 1: out a semester. I went to semester so that I
Speaker 1: could make money. So this is back when parents actually
Speaker 1: made um their kids work for college, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually had to get a job and play for college.
Speaker 1: And so I sat out and I started working, and
Speaker 1: then I was making good money as a bellhop and man,
Speaker 1: I just I my friends dared me to go on stage.
Speaker 1: One night. I went on stage and I just got hooked.
Speaker 1: I loved stand up, I loved comedy, and I just
Speaker 1: never went back to school because I kind of figured men,
Speaker 1: I really like doing this, And that's when I said, man,
Speaker 1: in fact, can make a living doing this and I'd
Speaker 1: be happy. So that's why that's when I started doing it.
Speaker 1: How hard is it? I imagine, like because there's so
Speaker 1: many people, I mean, it's such a competitive industry, right,
Speaker 1: Like there's so many improvs, there's so many people trying
Speaker 1: to get in to make a name of themselves. I
Speaker 1: imagine it's just got to be like an incredibly tough
Speaker 1: industry to cut your teeth in and make a name in.
Speaker 1: How hard is it? Yeah, you know it? Uh, man,
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work. It's it's it's changed
Speaker 1: from today than it did when I started. Um uh,
Speaker 1: you had to do a ton of one night or
Speaker 1: as he had to pack your car and then a
Speaker 1: lot of comedians still do that. But you know, we
Speaker 1: didn't have those. Uh, we didn't have podcasts, and we
Speaker 1: didn't have all these other venues to get your name out.
Speaker 1: We had you either did it two ways. You either
Speaker 1: just your butt on the road constantly, or you moved
Speaker 1: to l a New York and you went up constantly
Speaker 1: every night hoping that you would be discovered by somebody. Um,
Speaker 1: I took a more unconventional route where I did not
Speaker 1: go to Layer, New York. But I started pushing my
Speaker 1: character Larry the Cable Guy on radio stations all across
Speaker 1: the country. And so what I did was I just
Speaker 1: became a part of everyone's everyday routine. Because back in
Speaker 1: those days, back in the eighties in the early nineties
Speaker 1: morning radio, everybody had their favorite morning radio show when
Speaker 1: they would go to work and come back home, and
Speaker 1: they had those familiar voices. So I became part of
Speaker 1: everyone familiar voice on the way to work and the
Speaker 1: way home from work. And that's what enabled me to
Speaker 1: uh start doing Larry the Cable Guy in comedy clubs
Speaker 1: in the cities where I was on on the radio,
Speaker 1: and it just became popular that way. So I never
Speaker 1: had to go to l A or New York. I
Speaker 1: did it um just by merely getting up early every
Speaker 1: morning at six o'clock every morning and going through a
Speaker 1: rolodex of of morning shows across the country that had
Speaker 1: put me on to do three and a half four
Speaker 1: minutes of comedy in the form of a commentary. So
Speaker 1: how much of like jokes are like you're you're you
Speaker 1: know kind of just like in the car, you think
Speaker 1: of something funny, you write it down, versus like you're
Speaker 1: just on stage and you're like freestyling. Like, what what's
Speaker 1: sort of that like process like in terms of you know,
Speaker 1: coming up with some of these jokes, coming up with
Speaker 1: some of these bits. What does that look like for
Speaker 1: a comedian? Well, you know, early on, you have a
Speaker 1: set of jokes that you know we're gonna work, and
Speaker 1: you try and you go up and you have to
Speaker 1: you do those every night. You're not comfortable, you haven't
Speaker 1: done a stand up. You're trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But when you get a few jokes that work, obviously
Speaker 1: you go up and do those and then you try
Speaker 1: out other material. But the more you do it, it's
Speaker 1: like Steve Martin said, it takes a good ten years
Speaker 1: just to get comfortable with yourself on stage to where
Speaker 1: you can really let loose. And that's pretty much what
Speaker 1: happened to me. After a while, when you get a
Speaker 1: pretty good set list down and you're feeling comfortable on stage,
Speaker 1: that when you just start tagging jokes and creating material
Speaker 1: while you're on stage and uh so, uh it starts
Speaker 1: out slow. You know, you bomb a lot and then
Speaker 1: you get a joke here and a joke there, and
Speaker 1: and then as you continue to do it, and time
Speaker 1: goes on and you get more and more stage time,
Speaker 1: you get start feeling really comfortable, and then the real
Speaker 1: you starts to show up and and then you can
Speaker 1: really really um start to to write as you're on stage. Um.
Speaker 1: I want those comics that do that. I know there's
Speaker 1: some comics that stick to a script, but I do
Speaker 1: a lot of I definitely do a lot of my
Speaker 1: writing on stage and adding onto jokes. I'll do a
Speaker 1: one liner and then I'll follow it up with another punch,
Speaker 1: another punch, and another punch. And some of those are
Speaker 1: you just sit down and think of him, man, But
Speaker 1: a majority of them or you're just in the zone
Speaker 1: and you're on a roll and man, it just it
Speaker 1: just pops in your head and you just go with it.
Speaker 1: How much fun was the Blue Collar Comedy Tour? Oh man?
Speaker 1: That was probably the greatest thing ever. I mean, those
Speaker 1: are some of the greatest memories I'll ever has. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really cool. And they started calling this
Speaker 1: uh the uh the redneck um uh rat the redneck
Speaker 1: rat pack, you know, because it really was. It was
Speaker 1: like a redneck rat pack, and I don't think there'll
Speaker 1: ever be anything else to come along like that. It
Speaker 1: happened just at the right time, at the at the
Speaker 1: exact moment it should have happened, and uh, we just
Speaker 1: had a blast. Those are memories that none of us
Speaker 1: will ever forget. And and people always ask what we
Speaker 1: ever do it again? And I'm gonna be honest, I
Speaker 1: don't know if we ever will do it again, because
Speaker 1: here's the risk you run. It was such an awesome
Speaker 1: it was such an awesome thing to do and to
Speaker 1: have that. I don't think it can ever be replicated,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you don't want you want people
Speaker 1: to remember for what it was. You don't want to
Speaker 1: start to do it again and then people go, ah,
Speaker 1: it was funny, but boy, back in the day it
Speaker 1: was even better. You know, we'd like to avoid those
Speaker 1: back in the days. You know, you don't want that,
Speaker 1: do you want to be remembered? Well, no, that's that's
Speaker 1: totally fair. Because like I'm watching the like Sex and
Speaker 1: the City reboot, it's like nothing, you know, first of all,
Speaker 1: it's been so long, but it's like it's not out.
Speaker 1: It doesn't capture with like sex in the city, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's like sometimes I think
Speaker 1: like people try to remake stuff and it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, like keep the magic, how people remember it,
Speaker 1: you know, like sometimes you don't recruit, you can't recreate magic. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely when you when you it's never the same.
Speaker 1: It's like when they try to recreate TV shows or
Speaker 1: were classics, they're just not the same. They're funny and
Speaker 1: there's some good ditch and they're they're not the same.
Speaker 1: We we're trying to that that. We don't want that
Speaker 1: to happen, you know. I know, I'm not discounting one
Speaker 1: day when we're all in our seventies, maybe seeing us
Speaker 1: for a weekend in Vegas as a reunion tour. But
Speaker 1: I mean, but as fun as right now, we don't
Speaker 1: even we don't even entertain that idea. So what's it
Speaker 1: like to get roasted? Because you did? You got roasted
Speaker 1: in a Comedy Central. I always like watch those and
Speaker 1: I wonder what it feels like to be the person
Speaker 1: who's just getting like, you know, completely botted by the
Speaker 1: people around you. What's it what's it like to be roasted? Well,
Speaker 1: number when you gotta have real thick skin, and you've
Speaker 1: got to be able to take a joke, which I can.
Speaker 1: You know, there's you got. If you're gonna dish it out,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to take it, and you gotta
Speaker 1: have thick skin. But it was well, you know, first
Speaker 1: of all, it was an honor because when I did it,
Speaker 1: those things were very young. You know, those were just
Speaker 1: brand new things. And uh, I was able to pick
Speaker 1: my roasters. There was only three people that were on
Speaker 1: that dais that I didn't pick. The Comedy Central said
Speaker 1: they had to have. But everybody on there was a
Speaker 1: friend of mine, and so I knew what was coming.
Speaker 1: And I remember my buddy Nick Depolo. Um, he came
Speaker 1: up and he goes, hey, Dan, he goes he would
Speaker 1: he actually would like um because it okay, here's a joke.
Speaker 1: I said, Nick, just dude, it's a roast. Man. I
Speaker 1: get it. We're buddies. But do what you gotta do. Man,
Speaker 1: just hammer me. It'll be a blast. Just came and
Speaker 1: me and so that's what they did, and it was looked.
Speaker 1: I knew what it was, and uh, it was. It
Speaker 1: was fun. I enjoyed it. Now, I will say this.
Speaker 1: I said that my mom is probably gonna watch this.
Speaker 1: So I told everybody I said, looks trying not to
Speaker 1: be super dirty, because my mom's gonna watch this. And
Speaker 1: so I picked certain people that I knew that wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know. But then when they aired it, it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it was balls out. So I was like, well, so
Speaker 1: much for that. I'd better not tell my mom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like, don't don't watch mom, Actually, never mind. Remember
Speaker 1: that thing I told you about. You don't need to watch,
Speaker 1: because that's that's what I always like wonder like if
Speaker 1: you're ever sitting there and like obviously most of it,
Speaker 1: you're probably like, oh, this is like hilarious. You know,
Speaker 1: you're comedians. You dish it out like I'm sure like
Speaker 1: at some point you're probably like that kind of like
Speaker 1: that hits a little different, or I don't know, because
Speaker 1: there is there ever a time when you're in it
Speaker 1: or you're like, oh like that like kind of you
Speaker 1: know that that lands a little tough or anything, or
Speaker 1: is it just you know you're you just laughed the
Speaker 1: whole time, you know, I I just see this. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm a comedian. I can handle it. I mean that
Speaker 1: there was something that was intentionally to hurt my feelings. Uh.
Speaker 1: None of them did that. And you can tell if
Speaker 1: they're just up there and they're mad at you. I
Speaker 1: remember that. Uh uh. People. The one that everybody always
Speaker 1: talked about was when Greg rest in peace. Greg Giraldo
Speaker 1: came with me really good. But I knew Greg, and
Speaker 1: I knew that he was gonna hammer me like that,
Speaker 1: and everybody thought those were major insults. And he did
Speaker 1: say a couple of things where you're like, oh, oh, man,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, he came up to me
Speaker 1: literally after the roast and uh he said, Man, Dan,
Speaker 1: I just really you know, he goes, Uh some of
Speaker 1: those things I said, he goes, Uh, he goes, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, he goes, I'm more mad
Speaker 1: at myself. Um, because of the time that I've wasted
Speaker 1: doing certain things and drinking. You know. He pretty much
Speaker 1: opened up to me and said, look, I get it.
Speaker 1: He goes, Am I upset of your success? He goes, Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he goes, not because I don't like you and I
Speaker 1: don't think you're a good guy. I'm mad at your
Speaker 1: success because that's the success that I want to have.
Speaker 1: But I screwed it up doing stupid things, and that's
Speaker 1: just a nice intimate conversation that I had with him,
Speaker 1: and he gave me a hug, and it was it
Speaker 1: was good. That was you know, that was the only
Speaker 1: thing that u uh where somebody had said something where
Speaker 1: people thought, man, he really hates Dan, he really hates
Speaker 1: her to you, But he doesn't. He didn't hate me.
Speaker 1: He was just mad that I was successful because he
Speaker 1: wanted to have his way. And I mean, nobody really
Speaker 1: knows those things because those are things that happened afterwards.
Speaker 1: But um, as far as the roast itself goes, you know,
Speaker 1: I did it because it was I thought it was
Speaker 1: an honor. And I think the roast later on dot
Speaker 1: to the point where they did start getting people up
Speaker 1: there that they just hated and they wanted to hammer them.
Speaker 1: You know. So it's like, uh, what's her name that
Speaker 1: went up that was you know, the political lady? Um, uh,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, Ann Coulter. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It just means, you know, it's like when Anne did it,
Speaker 1: I didn't find it funny at all. They didn't really
Speaker 1: like her, and so it was just an opportunity to
Speaker 1: just go up at hammer and I think the whole
Speaker 1: purpose of it was for that, but she wanted to
Speaker 1: sell that book. You know, she was selling a book,
Speaker 1: and I get it, but I think those you know,
Speaker 1: I think early on it was a pretty good honor
Speaker 1: to be able to get one of those, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think later on it just turned into
Speaker 1: I mean, you can only do so many you know,
Speaker 1: by the way, what can I say on this show
Speaker 1: about cancer? Oh you can say whatever you want. It's
Speaker 1: a podcast, so oh yeah, but you know, there's only
Speaker 1: so many. There's only so many Dick and Veginia jokes
Speaker 1: that you can do, you know, in an hour and
Speaker 1: a half, where at some point you're like, okay, let's
Speaker 1: get something clever. But it's like, yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: sometimes people like with jokes either sometimes it's like way
Speaker 1: too vulgar, and I'm just like I'm kind of you know,
Speaker 1: like it's sort of like come on, you know, it's's
Speaker 1: kind of uncomfortable and most or like when I went
Speaker 1: it was like during Trump stuff, so it was like
Speaker 1: all basically like anti Republican, anti Trump, and I'm like, dude, like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're not some of us are conservatives here,
Speaker 1: you know, like what do you what do you think
Speaker 1: of like today's comedy compared to like, you know, back
Speaker 1: in the day, Like how much has it changed? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, here's the deal. I'm I'm a fan of comedy,
Speaker 1: and anybody that has a following, they have worked hard
Speaker 1: to develop that following. So I don't really blast you know,
Speaker 1: even comics that I don't like. It's like, hey man,
Speaker 1: they're doing stand up. Somebody must like them. They're selling
Speaker 1: tickets somebody, you know. So I'm not you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those ones that tells anybody what
Speaker 1: to do in their act. If that's what they want
Speaker 1: to do, that's what they want to do. If there
Speaker 1: I've always been this, if their act offends, you don't
Speaker 1: go see them. Let the free market place decide who's
Speaker 1: funny and who should be rewarded. I've always been like that,
Speaker 1: So I you know, if they want to bash conservatives
Speaker 1: all day long, I honestly do not care. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's none of my business. I'm just not going to
Speaker 1: go see them. The problem is, it's it's like a
Speaker 1: one way street when it comes to that. It's like, uh,
Speaker 1: certain certain jokes now seem to be a kay and
Speaker 1: other ones aren't okay. And um, they'll let certain comics
Speaker 1: tell certain jokes and other comics instead of just not
Speaker 1: listening to them and saying, well, that's inappropriate, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go see him. They try to force comedy
Speaker 1: clubs or try to force theaters or try to force
Speaker 1: people from hiring them because they don't like what they're saying.
Speaker 1: That's when it goes too far. I don't want that
Speaker 1: for anybody. It's like the guy that they said was
Speaker 1: saying this stuff and he got he booted off Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live. And now you know it's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: let's let the marketplace decide, you know, just let the
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. It's supposed to be a place with
Speaker 1: all different kinds of humor, and they bambooze everybody it
Speaker 1: used to be. Um, it's just I've always been a comedian,
Speaker 1: and I've always stuck up for all comedians, whether I
Speaker 1: like what they're saying, whether I don't like what they're saying. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna be a part of it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people just can't do that now
Speaker 1: they if they don't like what and obviously it's coming
Speaker 1: from It comes mainly more, I would say, from the
Speaker 1: far left and the far right, because um, they always
Speaker 1: try and just you can't work anymore if you don't
Speaker 1: if you can continue to tell these jokes, you can't
Speaker 1: work anymore. And I always I don't care. The far
Speaker 1: right shouldn't be canceling any comedian for what they say,
Speaker 1: and the far left shouldn't be canceling any comedians for
Speaker 1: what they say. We live in a free country. Let
Speaker 1: the free market decide. I totally agree. But it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we watch like S and L and it's
Speaker 1: like all bashing Republicans and it's like it's fine, Like
Speaker 1: I can totally laugh, Like people can make fun of
Speaker 1: me whatever. Like I grew up with three brothers. Basically,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like a lifetime of like emotional
Speaker 1: physical abuse when you have three brothers. It's like, can't wait, girl,
Speaker 1: you know, so like totally fine with it, don't care.
Speaker 1: But it's like, I mean, well you look at Biden.
Speaker 1: That's the target rich environment, you know, but like he
Speaker 1: basically remains unscared. I mean, the guy is like essentially
Speaker 1: it depends and it's like you know what I mean
Speaker 1: like you think that there would be some jokes there
Speaker 1: for like S and O that they could cover. You know, well,
Speaker 1: there's a ton of Biden jokes there. There's a ton
Speaker 1: of Biden jokes there. And that's the thing that's very
Speaker 1: frustrating with the late night comedians. Um, if you're telling
Speaker 1: jokes and you're just getting applause and not laughter, you're
Speaker 1: more of a political pundit than you are a comedian.
Speaker 1: I mean, Johnny Carson was the best day that he
Speaker 1: land blasted everybody. He did a joke about everybody. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you couldn't really tell which way Johnny leaned. And Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, here's the thing now, Lisa, that I see.
Speaker 1: It's almost like Hollywood and the media have their own
Speaker 1: alternative world where they don't care about this x percentage
Speaker 1: of the country. It's like they do. It's like the
Speaker 1: late night shows. As long as they can get their
Speaker 1: two point seven or their three point one or whatever
Speaker 1: it is they they need to pull in their advertising dollars.
Speaker 1: As long as they get that percentage, they don't care
Speaker 1: about anything else, and they will only do jokes that
Speaker 1: that part of their audience likes. And the hell with
Speaker 1: everybody else don't listen to us. They don't care. They
Speaker 1: don't care if the right listens to them. They don't
Speaker 1: need them to stay in business. And when I say
Speaker 1: it's almost like an alternative world they've created, it's like
Speaker 1: when you sit down and you watch television, you know,
Speaker 1: we saw all these commercials around Christmas about now it's
Speaker 1: time that we finally can get together with family members
Speaker 1: and we can finally enjoy at Christmas, And you're thinking,
Speaker 1: for the last year and a half, that's all we've
Speaker 1: been doing is living our life normal. So it's almost
Speaker 1: like they're only broadcasting for certain areas of the country
Speaker 1: that buy into everything they're selling, and it's the heck
Speaker 1: with everybody else. When it's like, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: you do realize the majority of the country is living
Speaker 1: life as normal. Why would you run that commercial? Because
Speaker 1: they're running those commercials for just those people that they
Speaker 1: are talking to. I think that's what nils it because
Speaker 1: it's it's even like it's almost moved beyond just like
Speaker 1: right versus left stuff. Right, Like it's like it's almost
Speaker 1: like an elitism versus the rest of America thing, And
Speaker 1: like there's so many parts of the country as you
Speaker 1: pointed out, that are just being left out of the
Speaker 1: conversation that you know that they, like our officials right
Speaker 1: now don't even care about that. The media doesn't even
Speaker 1: try to speak to that, Hollywood doesn't try to speak
Speaker 1: to and that's what you spoke to with like the
Speaker 1: blue Collar Comedy Tour and some of the jokes that
Speaker 1: you did. So it's like, I think you kind of
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head that there's like this
Speaker 1: huge part of the country that is just being left
Speaker 1: out of the equation right now. Absolutely, and you know
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. It's like you can't, like,
Speaker 1: it really sucks. I used to love watching the shows
Speaker 1: at night that you can't even watch them. They literally,
Speaker 1: they literally don't do one joke about the current president,
Speaker 1: who is a mine field of comedy entertainment. If if
Speaker 1: this was Trump or this was just some other conservative president,
Speaker 1: that it would be full of sketches and videos and
Speaker 1: but nothing. They don't touch any of it. And it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So it just just lets you know that they don't
Speaker 1: They have certain people they want to make happy, and
Speaker 1: the heck with everybody else. They don't care if you
Speaker 1: believe me, they don't care. They do not care if
Speaker 1: you don't as long as they're pulling in the number
Speaker 1: they need, they don't care. And uh, I mean that's
Speaker 1: the way it is now, that's the way it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: When you watch television, literally all the commercials that are
Speaker 1: being run, all the advertising that is being run, for
Speaker 1: the most part, does not pertain to anybody that I've
Speaker 1: been hanging out with. I mean, I mean We've literally
Speaker 1: been meeting as families and having dinners together and going
Speaker 1: out and I mean it's it's it's crazy. It really
Speaker 1: is crazy. But you know, and it's SU's as far
Speaker 1: as me being a comedian, it's you know, now you
Speaker 1: have to like think twice before you do send out
Speaker 1: a joke that's a Biden joke for fear that woke
Speaker 1: mob is going to jump on you for the joke.
Speaker 1: And it's you know, you never used to have to
Speaker 1: do that. Um. I still send some stuff out there
Speaker 1: I think is funny. I'll still do it, but it's like, man,
Speaker 1: just the fact you have to have that second thought. Um.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm a comedian first, I stick up.
Speaker 1: I stick up for the business. I stick up, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that Bill Moore does that too. I
Speaker 1: don't agree with a ton of stuff Bill Moore says, obviously,
Speaker 1: of everything he says, I don't agree with. But I
Speaker 1: stick up to Bill Martin because Bill Mare is a
Speaker 1: comedian and he's sticking up for an industry. He is
Speaker 1: sticking up for comedy and freedom of expression, and that's
Speaker 1: what comedy is all about. And so did Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they try to cancel him, and
Speaker 1: I think he did the smartest response, which was just
Speaker 1: not to back down and to continue to make jokes
Speaker 1: about it, you know. So I mean it's like they
Speaker 1: even came for Dave Chappelle. Yeah, and Chappelle is awesome.
Speaker 1: He's a super nice guy and he's super way more
Speaker 1: smarter than all everybody. But you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: funny though, when they come out and they go finally
Speaker 1: there's a comedian out there that's actually doing comedy. It
Speaker 1: doesn't care what anybody thinks. Let me tell you, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of them out there that are still doing
Speaker 1: comedy and don't care what anybody thinks. They're just not
Speaker 1: getting any breaths. Do you think your character could have
Speaker 1: taken off today in today's world with just like all
Speaker 1: this like woke sort of anti blue collar sentiment in
Speaker 1: the country. Almost No, absolutely, absolutely not. I mean that's like, uh,
Speaker 1: that's like saying, can some of these shows from the
Speaker 1: seventies takeoff? Can can you running all in the family anymore?
Speaker 1: Of course not, because nobody can take a joke. I
Speaker 1: mean when my character started, it's evolved so much from
Speaker 1: what it was because I never thought I'd ever do
Speaker 1: it on stage. My character was a total Archie Bunker
Speaker 1: type character that was only for radio and it did
Speaker 1: social commentaries. So no, I mean when I used to
Speaker 1: get away with in the nineties would never ever fly today.
Speaker 1: So no, I don't believe it would um the jokes,
Speaker 1: I but maybe as myself doing the jokes, But I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't, you know what it's hard to say, but
Speaker 1: the character itself. No, I can pretty much say that
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have got the time of day if I
Speaker 1: started it now. But isn't it like beyond even comedy.
Speaker 1: I feel like Americans have lost a sense of humor,
Speaker 1: Like everyone takes themselves so seriously in today's day and age,
Speaker 1: no one can take a joke. It's like there's such
Speaker 1: a heaviness to like the country, right, It's like when
Speaker 1: when did everyone did so lame? And how did that happen?
Speaker 1: And why did it happen? Yeah, that's that is the
Speaker 1: big mystery. You know, God has given everyone a sense
Speaker 1: of humor because a sense of humor helps you deal
Speaker 1: with situations that everybody is created with a different sense
Speaker 1: of humor. Some of that. That's how you develop a following,
Speaker 1: you know, you find people that have the same sense
Speaker 1: of humor that you have. That's why some comics get
Speaker 1: followed by other people because they have a different sense
Speaker 1: of humor. But people have just taken their sense of
Speaker 1: humor and put it in the closet for some reason.
Speaker 1: And it is really sad that people can't laugh. I
Speaker 1: just did. I spend had a joke the other day
Speaker 1: about um about pertaining the I was eating something about
Speaker 1: a Costco hot dog, and I said, if you think
Speaker 1: those people were you think that people were shocked that
Speaker 1: they were eating bats in China. I said something about
Speaker 1: try eating a hot dog at Costco. I think I
Speaker 1: found ground zero for the next pandemic, you know. Just yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that people loved those hot dogs so much,
Speaker 1: and people were mad at me. They were literally furious
Speaker 1: that I was making fun of the Costco hot dog.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, holy mackail, it was just
Speaker 1: a joke. I'm sure the hot dog is delicious. That's
Speaker 1: not the point of the joke. It's it's just a
Speaker 1: stupid one liner joke. It's like, holy Maco, but they
Speaker 1: really have people have just gone nuts quick commercial breaks
Speaker 1: or with Larry the Cable Day, don't It's funny sometimes
Speaker 1: like what ends up like setting rights, Like you can
Speaker 1: say all this stuff that like you think, like, oh
Speaker 1: am I gonna get in trouble with this, like you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like people truly, you know, people
Speaker 1: aren't gonna love what I'm saying. And then like you
Speaker 1: say something that you think is completely innocuous and like
Speaker 1: you know, you don't even worry about and then that
Speaker 1: ends up being like you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like weird sometimes, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I work in media is obviously much different than comedy.
Speaker 1: I'm not like funny like you, but you're like sometimes
Speaker 1: like you'll say something and you're like you just think
Speaker 1: it's like completely innocuous, and then like that's what people
Speaker 1: get upset about. And you're just like what like like
Speaker 1: you were saying, like the hot dog ended up being
Speaker 1: like the crime, you know, like that's what was offensive.
Speaker 1: It is like the Yeah, absolutely, you never know what
Speaker 1: you never know what it's going to be. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a zip that propert up on
Speaker 1: the face. You have no idea where it's gonna pop up.
Speaker 1: You know, it's yeah, it's it's amazing. It's just it's
Speaker 1: always something. But I gotta you know, I just don't care.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna do my jokes until I can't do
Speaker 1: them anymore. And I think more people should be like that,
Speaker 1: just do your jokes until you can't do them anymore.
Speaker 1: And and I mean, hopefully there'll be enough comics that
Speaker 1: come out and stick up for comedy that we can
Speaker 1: continue to do what we want to do. You know,
Speaker 1: they say that that will never happen here. Comedy will
Speaker 1: always be but you know, in Canada there were two
Speaker 1: comics that were already fine for being offensive in Canada
Speaker 1: and had to pay money. And and I tell everybody,
Speaker 1: that's all that's gonna tell you. And as you start
Speaker 1: sticking up for comics that you don't even like they
Speaker 1: got in trouble for saying something, it's gonna come here.
Speaker 1: All that's gonna take is for one person to get
Speaker 1: offended of the comedy club and sue the comedy club
Speaker 1: and find a judge that agrees, and the comedy club
Speaker 1: gets sued and they have to pay money, and that's
Speaker 1: all it's gonna take, because after that they're gonna want. Well,
Speaker 1: let's see what you're going to talk about, rightious, the
Speaker 1: script of what you're saying, we don't want to get sued.
Speaker 1: You think I'm kidding, but I'm not kidding. We are
Speaker 1: not far from that right now. Now, I I don't
Speaker 1: think you're kidding, and I totally agree. And I feel
Speaker 1: like similarly with media, it's like, okay, you can try
Speaker 1: to moderate everything you say so like you don't risk
Speaker 1: you don't increase your risk of being fired or cancelation
Speaker 1: or canceled. But then it's like what's the point in
Speaker 1: doing that, right, Like why you even have a platform
Speaker 1: then if you're not saying what needs to be said
Speaker 1: and like to your point about like what's going on
Speaker 1: in Australia just like we're in such dire times right
Speaker 1: as a country, and like we're almost truth needs to
Speaker 1: be out more than ever, and so it's actually like
Speaker 1: more important than ever, like you said, to just do
Speaker 1: your job, to just keep making jokes, to not worry
Speaker 1: about the consequences. And I feel the same with the
Speaker 1: media is it's just more important than ever to say
Speaker 1: what needs to be said, to speak the truth because
Speaker 1: to your point, we might not be able to you know,
Speaker 1: if we don't write that course now, then we might
Speaker 1: we might lose that opportunity in the future. Well, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's a fact. And that's why as a comedian, I
Speaker 1: mean I know about comedy, but that's what comics need
Speaker 1: to do. Just do what you do and critics be damned,
Speaker 1: you know, just have some balls. And whether you're a
Speaker 1: political comic or a one liner comic or a character comic,
Speaker 1: do what you think is funny. Do what you think
Speaker 1: is funny. Let the free market this side if they
Speaker 1: think it's funny as well. I mean, that's that's what
Speaker 1: you need to do. And it is. You know, we
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, but it was harder for me
Speaker 1: than to do staying up than now, how how or
Speaker 1: was it to get started? I would say now, comics
Speaker 1: that already have a following like me, like Chappelle and
Speaker 1: Bill Burr and all these guys that already have a following,
Speaker 1: they don't care because they're always going to have a following.
Speaker 1: People are gonna come see them regardless. People are going
Speaker 1: to book them because they sell tickets. The people that
Speaker 1: are gonna have a hard time are those comics now,
Speaker 1: the ones that are up and coming, the ones that
Speaker 1: are trying to get there. I mean, they're you know,
Speaker 1: it's going to be harder for them to do jokes,
Speaker 1: to come up with other jokes, because they're gonna get
Speaker 1: shut down. I mean, there'll be certain groups that don't
Speaker 1: like what they're gonna say. And I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: our our material, we already got it out there and
Speaker 1: people know what we're all about, and they like it.
Speaker 1: They think it's funny. They're gonna come see us. The
Speaker 1: problem now is these comics, Uh, can they do the
Speaker 1: same Can they continue to do such same kind of
Speaker 1: material and build up an act or are they going
Speaker 1: to be told what they can and cannot say we
Speaker 1: weren't really told what we can or cannot say. We
Speaker 1: said whatever we wanted and developed the following. Now you're
Speaker 1: being told what you can or cannot say anyway. That's
Speaker 1: what it seems like to me. Well, and what's weird too,
Speaker 1: is it's like, you know, like so we I've like
Speaker 1: retweeted stuff, and you've retweeted stuff like with COVID, you know,
Speaker 1: both on our Twitter, and it's like, first of all,
Speaker 1: like everyone's gone insane with it, Like you were talking
Speaker 1: about how they're like, oh, we can finally spend time,
Speaker 1: you know, a girl like I've moved to Miami a year.
Speaker 1: I've been going to like clubs, you know, like I've
Speaker 1: been living my life. And but like, what is what
Speaker 1: blows my mind is like, so you know what like
Speaker 1: a year ago, two years ago, you couldn't say I
Speaker 1: mean I said them anyways, but like you really couldn't
Speaker 1: say some of these things without condemnation. And now like
Speaker 1: this CDC is just casually dropping all these truth bombs
Speaker 1: on the public. Like there's a difference between going into
Speaker 1: the hospital with COVID from cloth masks don't work if
Speaker 1: you're obese, you know, like all these things that we've
Speaker 1: been saying. But yeah, it's like the they're like, we
Speaker 1: may have like destroyed all of your lives for like
Speaker 1: the past two years, but like, by the way, you're
Speaker 1: all right, you know, it's like like what do you
Speaker 1: even make of that? I mean, isn't it just like
Speaker 1: I like, I can't even get over this. It's just
Speaker 1: it's like it's mind blowing. It's it's really crazy. I
Speaker 1: was laughing about that because it's like anything I ever
Speaker 1: sent out that I took flak on has happened. But
Speaker 1: we were crazy, like right, they were calling this crazy.
Speaker 1: We've been right. I know. It's it's it's undescribable. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's, man, I don't know what to say
Speaker 1: about it is it is just so dumbfounding that people
Speaker 1: still it doesn't matter if it came true, they still
Speaker 1: and and I've noticed a lot of this too. It's
Speaker 1: like when somebody comes out with some information and you're like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, maybe there should be examined. It's like
Speaker 1: when the it's like when the whole uh iver met
Speaker 1: and thing came out, you know, and uh well, instead
Speaker 1: of actually being journalists and going well let's see about this,
Speaker 1: let's see they attack anybody that brought it up. Instead
Speaker 1: of somebody going out and finding information and putting that
Speaker 1: information out and people that's value valid information, it seems
Speaker 1: like the person sending out the information starts getting attacked
Speaker 1: and they don't ever talk about the information, you know.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why Rogan gets it gets hammered
Speaker 1: so much, because Rogan is actually having people on that
Speaker 1: are scientists talking about the information and about what this means. It's, uh,
Speaker 1: they always they always go after the deliver of the
Speaker 1: news that they don't like instead of looking at the news.
Speaker 1: So in saying no, I totally see you're saying. And
Speaker 1: he's smart, like you were saying, like you are as well,
Speaker 1: and like Chappelle of like you know, he doesn't back down,
Speaker 1: right because like the second, like if the mob wants
Speaker 1: to take you down, like the second you give them
Speaker 1: n inch, they're gonna kill you, right, So it's like
Speaker 1: you just cannot you cannot back down, like you just
Speaker 1: have to stand paul against them. And then eventually they
Speaker 1: find like their next target and they move along. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it just it just it blows. And then
Speaker 1: the thing too, is like I think you're such an
Speaker 1: elitism with it as well, is It's like even in
Speaker 1: like our personal like I'm sure you have, like you know,
Speaker 1: if had friends kind of be upset with me, maybe
Speaker 1: turn their back on me a little bit. Family members
Speaker 1: get upset. I've lost job opportunities, you know, like you've
Speaker 1: had these consequences. But there are people who have lost
Speaker 1: like I've committed suicide, like overdoses, like you know, people
Speaker 1: have lost their life. I mean they're there are, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like there's real harm that has been done to like
Speaker 1: so many people, and it's like they just don't even care. Well,
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know if they I think
Speaker 1: you're just I think a lot of these people that
Speaker 1: have been pushing this that has turning out now to
Speaker 1: be absolutely wrong information. Even CNN now's backtracking and starting
Speaker 1: to say things that we've all been saying. Um, they're
Speaker 1: trying to cover themselves, you know, they're they they're they're scared.
Speaker 1: They don't want that. They just can't admit that they
Speaker 1: were wrong. They can't admit they're wrong. They cannot admit anything.
Speaker 1: If they admit they're wrong, Uh, then that's coming down
Speaker 1: on them. So they can't admit it. And it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's like It's like in India and in Africa, these
Speaker 1: certain parts where they completely are done so well with
Speaker 1: containing and getting rid of it, but yet nobody's investigating
Speaker 1: why that is, why, what did they use what? It's
Speaker 1: like the media, it just shuts down. They don't investigate
Speaker 1: any of this stuff. It's like all of these people
Speaker 1: that all these doctors that came out, uh some that
Speaker 1: I know that come out and say, this is what
Speaker 1: we did and this helps, this is what we did
Speaker 1: and this helped, this is what we did this well,
Speaker 1: instead of like, man, let's uh, let's interview them. Let's go,
Speaker 1: we're journalists, let's see what they did. Let's see if
Speaker 1: there's something to this. Instead of that, they just shun it.
Speaker 1: And it's like these guys suck, they're not good doctors.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, wait a second, where does what
Speaker 1: does this attitude comes from. It's really a bizarre thing.
Speaker 1: And I remember this a long time ago. March of
Speaker 1: CNN had on John Loonidas, John lon and IDAs, and
Speaker 1: they literally build him as the most downloaded, the most
Speaker 1: per reviewed epidemiologist in the world, John Lononidas from Anford
Speaker 1: and you can look him up and after this interview
Speaker 1: you didn't hear from me much anymore. They all said
Speaker 1: he was a cook and a whack and kind of
Speaker 1: trying to ruin his life. This is what he said,
Speaker 1: lisaid March. Now that they have information from all around
Speaker 1: the world, here's what they've they're concluding. Um, he wasn't
Speaker 1: sure about the two weeks. Um they've never done this before,
Speaker 1: but since they really didn't have a handle on it,
Speaker 1: he understood why they did it. Now that we have
Speaker 1: all this information from around the world, it's not a
Speaker 1: good idea to do anymore lockdowns because lockdowns will cause
Speaker 1: so much mental problems, drinking problems, drug abuse, and we
Speaker 1: can't keep kids out of school. They're gonna fall behind
Speaker 1: if we continue to do some sort of a lockdown.
Speaker 1: This is going to be more harm, way more harm
Speaker 1: than what we're seeing with this. He said. If you
Speaker 1: are sixty five and older and you have secondary third
Speaker 1: health conditions, this is more dangerous than the flu, and
Speaker 1: you should be careful, and you should be careful going
Speaker 1: out in public. I would even say if you need
Speaker 1: to go out and you think you need to wear
Speaker 1: a mask, were one. If you're sixty five and under
Speaker 1: and you are a fairly healthy person. We're finding out
Speaker 1: that this is equal to or less than the flu
Speaker 1: the younger that you get, this is rarely affecting any
Speaker 1: young people. Anybody twenty four and under is pretty much
Speaker 1: this isn't affecting. And he went through everything that is
Speaker 1: happening today John Loewan and IDAs said March of and
Speaker 1: he was shunned and ridiculed, and now everything he said
Speaker 1: has come true. And that's the problem. Is actually why
Speaker 1: that's actually why I started this podcast was during the
Speaker 1: age of COVID because I read his out ed and
Speaker 1: stat news from Stanford and it made so much sense
Speaker 1: to me, and he was really the only one that
Speaker 1: was making sense at the time, and so that that's
Speaker 1: why I started it, because I was like looking around
Speaker 1: and I'm like everyone is pushing the extreme in these
Speaker 1: Drewconian policies and we have terrible data and no one's
Speaker 1: trying to get to the truth. And so that's why
Speaker 1: I wanted to build this podcast was to have a
Speaker 1: place because I was like, there's so much freaking noise
Speaker 1: out there in the media. There's so much group think.
Speaker 1: Everyone's just following along. It's like no one's even trying
Speaker 1: to dig deeper and like get to the truth or
Speaker 1: even having people like you know, Dr needs On, who's
Speaker 1: a freaking you know, an expert in this right, Like
Speaker 1: no one's even trying to give him a platform. And
Speaker 1: so that's why I wanted this podcast was to really
Speaker 1: like build a place to have some of these conversations
Speaker 1: that you can't have elsewhere, and to dig deeper than
Speaker 1: like all the group thinking all the noise that was
Speaker 1: going on, and it's like, and you're right, his out
Speaker 1: ed is he stild? Right? Everything he wrote back then
Speaker 1: held true to and like what's what's insane all this
Speaker 1: stuff too? Was you tweeted about this U recently? I
Speaker 1: saw on your tweets about like okay, so basically the
Speaker 1: CDC just said that, um what I think. It's like
Speaker 1: almost of the people who were hospitalized, placed on eventor
Speaker 1: died from COVID nineteen were overweight. Yeah. Like media was
Speaker 1: like pushing free Crispykreme donuts to like go out and
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. You had like this places in California filled
Speaker 1: skate parks of sand, like we've you know, we pushed
Speaker 1: all this body positivities. It's like like we we literally
Speaker 1: live in an insane like, it's insane. We live in
Speaker 1: a insane world. There's another thing I sent out from.
Speaker 1: It was from I can't remember what country was. It
Speaker 1: was from one of the South American countries, but anyway,
Speaker 1: sent somewhere anyway, but they were running commercials and I said,
Speaker 1: how come we're not running these commercials and it's and
Speaker 1: it was a whole commerce full about, uh, we care
Speaker 1: about our citizens and in order to fight COVID, we
Speaker 1: need to have a healthy country. We encourage you to
Speaker 1: get outside, get fresh air, um, eat the right foods,
Speaker 1: eat that you know, and they were showing the get
Speaker 1: a nice diet, get a good workout plan, go to
Speaker 1: the gym. It was a whole thing about getting in shape,
Speaker 1: getting fresh air, getting your body moving. And guess what, Uh,
Speaker 1: social media took it off. Social media took off a
Speaker 1: commercial about getting in shape and bettering yourself. And people
Speaker 1: wonder why we're so hesitant for this or why do
Speaker 1: we question that. I'll tell you why, because a crap
Speaker 1: like that, Because that's exactly why it's everything's being questioned
Speaker 1: because of that kind of crap. And then they wonder
Speaker 1: why people are hesitant to take a vac scene. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you why they're hesitant to take the vaccine because
Speaker 1: the news media didn't not being but demonized the vaccine
Speaker 1: for for seven months until Trump got out of office,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it was the greatest
Speaker 1: vaccine on the planet. You can't for seven months demonize
Speaker 1: something saying something might kill you. I don't trust something
Speaker 1: that's rushed like this. Never have we ever done this before.
Speaker 1: I don't trust this. And then two weeks later, after
Speaker 1: your guy gets in office, tell everybody, oh, it's sake,
Speaker 1: you're an idiot if you don't take it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's looney bien. We're living in well. And then
Speaker 1: it's also they're like, oh, you can't have questions. But
Speaker 1: then previously they're like, if you get the vaccine, you're
Speaker 1: not going to get COVID, And then obviously that's not
Speaker 1: happening because everyone's getting COVID regardless of your backs there
Speaker 1: and I and then you have the head of Fighter
Speaker 1: basically just recently said like two doses doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 1: You need to do three. So it's like but then
Speaker 1: there's simultaneously being they're like, you can't ask questions, and
Speaker 1: I'm like wait, wait, wait a minute, Like, first of all,
Speaker 1: like you know, you said this one thing that has
Speaker 1: and held up. Now you've got that, you know, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you have all this contradictory information,
Speaker 1: and then they're just like shut up and get it.
Speaker 1: And then like you don't ask questions, and I'm like no,
Speaker 1: like wait a minute, yeah, of course I'm going to
Speaker 1: ask questions because you people keep lying to me, and
Speaker 1: you keep lying to the public, and then you don't
Speaker 1: even care about the damage in the carnage you're creating
Speaker 1: in the process. So like, you know what, go after yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get it. No. Absolutely, it's absolutely
Speaker 1: insane that they think by going to understand why people
Speaker 1: are so because because because you're you're banning, um, you're
Speaker 1: banning very knowledgeable epidemiologists that have just as many credits
Speaker 1: as Fauci from the internet. You're taking them off YouTube,
Speaker 1: You're you're banning anybody that has a dissenting opinion that
Speaker 1: are just as smart as the other guy. It's like, look,
Speaker 1: we've tried what this guy is selling. It ain't working.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should try one of these other guy's ideas
Speaker 1: that you keep banning, and the more you bann and
Speaker 1: the more people are gonna be hesitant, and the more
Speaker 1: people are gonna be questioning the more you ban. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely ridiculous. And I think more and more people
Speaker 1: are starting to catch onto this thing. I think they
Speaker 1: forget there's a YouTube out there, and I think they
Speaker 1: forget that people. Uh, there's we've been talking about nothing
Speaker 1: for the last two years. So we remember two years
Speaker 1: ago what you said and it's not happening. And now
Speaker 1: you're changing what you said two years ago and saying
Speaker 1: you didn't say it when you did say it. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, it's it's oh my gosh. It's
Speaker 1: just I try not to I try to live my
Speaker 1: life and just I turn off news and I I think,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just oh my gosh. Here's what they
Speaker 1: should have done. They said, you're giving me a heart attack.
Speaker 1: Here's what they should my stress levels going through the rip.
Speaker 1: Here's what they should have done. What they're doing in Florida.
Speaker 1: If you're if you don't feel safe, then by all means,
Speaker 1: whatever you need to do to make yourself feel comfortable,
Speaker 1: feel comfortable. If you're comfortable, if you want to get
Speaker 1: a vaccine. Get the vaccine, Talk to your doctor, see
Speaker 1: what he thinks. UM, wag it out. We're gonna leave
Speaker 1: all this up to you, guys, because obviously, um uh,
Speaker 1: obviously um. If uh you get this, seven percent of
Speaker 1: you are going to be completely fine. Most of you
Speaker 1: aren't even even know you have it. UM. So you
Speaker 1: do what you feel best that you need to do.
Speaker 1: But one thing you don't want to do is divide
Speaker 1: the country over stupid stuff. Obviously, mass don't work. They
Speaker 1: don't work. If they work, If they work, things would
Speaker 1: be going down, things would be so they don't work.
Speaker 1: So why don't you give people the choice? You know
Speaker 1: you're in Florida. I got a place in Florida. I
Speaker 1: go to Florida a lot. And it's a whole different world.
Speaker 1: Nobody's at each other's throats. If people want to wear
Speaker 1: a mask, nobody's yelling at them as they want to
Speaker 1: wear a mask. But the difference is nobody's being forced
Speaker 1: to do it, and people are getting along. And so
Speaker 1: anywhere you're getting forced to do it, you're having people
Speaker 1: at each other's throats and it's doing nothing but dividing
Speaker 1: the country and um over something that doesn't work. I
Speaker 1: got to tell you though, like, um, I just had
Speaker 1: COVID and UM, like a few weeks ago, and when
Speaker 1: I got it, I was like, just don't die, because
Speaker 1: there's way too many people that would feel like dancing
Speaker 1: on my grave. So I was like, just you cannot die.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was fine, but yeah, it was like going down.
Speaker 1: I know that would be horrible, and I do be
Speaker 1: one of the ones going Danniel, Dannilies, why did you
Speaker 1: shut up? But it seems like here's the thing that
Speaker 1: you've seemed. Just look, I'm just living my life. I
Speaker 1: wanted to what's best for my family and kids. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not dictating anybody do anything, but just in
Speaker 1: your normal life and what you hear on TV and
Speaker 1: the news and and what you see are two different things.
Speaker 1: There are two different things. And so you know, I'm
Speaker 1: going by what my doctors say and I'm going by
Speaker 1: what I see in real life. UM. You know, and
Speaker 1: that's that's the only thing I can do. You know.
Speaker 1: I know this. I know that I had COVID and UM,
Speaker 1: I know that I've never gotten it again. And I
Speaker 1: know a bunch of people that have gotten vaccinated and
Speaker 1: every one of them go COVID. I mean, it's it
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense what's happening. It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: So I think we would get along so much better
Speaker 1: if they didn't dictate what you do with your health,
Speaker 1: and you leave it up to that person's individual safety.
Speaker 1: Leave the kids, uh personal stuff up to their parents
Speaker 1: and their doctors. I think I think if we did
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing in Florida, everyone would get along
Speaker 1: so much better and you would see a lot of things. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think this might be. And I heard a thing
Speaker 1: today where um, it's coming out of Israel of the
Speaker 1: UK or said something that amcron is a good thing.
Speaker 1: This means it's the end of it. It's it's more contagious,
Speaker 1: but it's way less. I mean, it's way less deadly
Speaker 1: than anything. I mean, it's like a cold. And they
Speaker 1: said they think it's going to peak in three weeks
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the end of it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: it's it's literally acting like a normal food season. I
Speaker 1: hope so, because I'm just I'm tired of all the crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of all the lectures. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: there needs to be like retribution for all the damage
Speaker 1: done and the people replied and stuff like, I'm just
Speaker 1: so ready to like I'm tired of just all the
Speaker 1: crazy that has come over the past two years. Like
Speaker 1: I just I want and I feel like some of
Speaker 1: the some people I know that have been like more
Speaker 1: kind of crazy about it, they're starting to realize. I
Speaker 1: think that basically everyone's gonna get COVID and there's not
Speaker 1: much you can do, so you just gotta live your life.
Speaker 1: No exactly, And you know, it's like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: we both read the same guy, John Lewan, and I
Speaker 1: just he told us exactly what's going to happen and
Speaker 1: how to deal with it in the outcome of it,
Speaker 1: and everything he said has come true, And you're right,
Speaker 1: everybody's going to get it. It's he was exactly right
Speaker 1: in his diagnosis of what it was. So we're going
Speaker 1: to have to live with it. And the one thing
Speaker 1: we don't want to do is end our country over it.
Speaker 1: I mean, to to make people lose jobs and and
Speaker 1: and and and ruin your kids and and all these
Speaker 1: mental problems. You definitely want to do that. But you said,
Speaker 1: I hope there's some retribution and some people pay they're
Speaker 1: not I have I don't think it's gonna happen because
Speaker 1: they'll pass the blame. They'll pass the buck. They'll blame
Speaker 1: it on somebody else. These people that are in charge
Speaker 1: right now don't give a ship. Uh, they will pass
Speaker 1: the buck. They will pass them. And they're already starting
Speaker 1: to change their narratives and nobody's gonna nobody's gonna have
Speaker 1: any any any They're not. Nobody's gonna get in trouble
Speaker 1: for any of it. It's it's just gonna pass. And
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be onto something else. And then the
Speaker 1: medi'll create some other little thing that everybody's going to
Speaker 1: pay attention to, and then all this will blow over,
Speaker 1: just like everything else, and people forget about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope not. I believe me, I hope not. Somebody
Speaker 1: better pay for this, because every decision they've made is wrong.
Speaker 1: Every decision these leaders have made with the lockdowns and
Speaker 1: people losing their jobs, they're responsible for every one of
Speaker 1: these suicides at all of this, And I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I hope there's retribution and they pay and they get
Speaker 1: caught and they have to answer for their bullshit. Uh.
Speaker 1: Bad diagnosis is But I don't think it's gonna happen. Well,
Speaker 1: And to like one thing that anways me is like
Speaker 1: they're like somehow if you're against lockdowns, you're against all
Speaker 1: these are coning and policies like you don't care about
Speaker 1: like protecting Grandma that didn't work. Like we did all
Speaker 1: these things and we had Grandma. Still, you know, we
Speaker 1: still had a significant loss of like even more under
Speaker 1: you know, Biden than we did even under Trump during
Speaker 1: all of this, So we still had a significant loss
Speaker 1: of life. And then you you had the added loss
Speaker 1: of suicides and all the unnecessary carnage that came on
Speaker 1: top of it. So it's like, no, actually you're the
Speaker 1: one that is not only were the elderly still put
Speaker 1: at risk, but we've also done all this additional carnage.
Speaker 1: So but and it was before we go I wanted
Speaker 1: to get you on on Bob Sagga because I saw
Speaker 1: your tweet tweeted that you hung out with them one
Speaker 1: night at the Orlando Improgue. You know, what was that
Speaker 1: night like? And what was he like? No? He you
Speaker 1: know what, he was just super nice. I I went down,
Speaker 1: I did a guest said I had I was working
Speaker 1: up some jokes for an album that I was doing,
Speaker 1: and he was working there that night, so I they
Speaker 1: they asked Bob, they said that I was going to
Speaker 1: come down, wanted to come down and try as he said,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I didn't come down. I'd love to
Speaker 1: see him and he can have as much time as
Speaker 1: he wants, so, you know, he actually gave me twenty
Speaker 1: minutes of his time to my wife and I went down,
Speaker 1: went backstage and we just talked about comedy and we
Speaker 1: talked about life and comic friends that we knew, and
Speaker 1: he was delightful. He was funny, He was very nice,
Speaker 1: very complimentary of me. I was very complimentary of him,
Speaker 1: you know, because he's like one of those guys you
Speaker 1: grew up with. He was Mr Entertainment, you know, he
Speaker 1: did uh He's been on me for home videos and
Speaker 1: then the the Full House, so he's been around forever.
Speaker 1: And he was just fun to talk to. You know.
Speaker 1: I like talking to guys like that. He was like
Speaker 1: a legend. He'd been around for and did so many
Speaker 1: things and was well liked. But it was just a
Speaker 1: fun night. It was just uh. I was there for
Speaker 1: a couple of hours and he was very cordial, very
Speaker 1: nice and and we had a really nice time. And
Speaker 1: of course that's the last time I ever got to
Speaker 1: work with him and see him. But it was just
Speaker 1: a fun memory because he was, you know, he's a
Speaker 1: big time he was a big dumb comic. He was,
Speaker 1: he was, he was, He's one of the legends. So
Speaker 1: it was just it's fun to be able to hang
Speaker 1: out with those guys and picked the brain. But he
Speaker 1: was Honestly, everybody always says, oh, he's just that. He
Speaker 1: really was. I mean, and so if he did something goopy,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. But he was super nice. Well, you
Speaker 1: were a legend to Dana Whitney, Larry the Cable Guy,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining the show. This was really fun.
Speaker 1: What to do it again? Well, I appreciate you getting
Speaker 1: my blood pressure up. I was doing good until we
Speaker 1: started talking about all this other stuff. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I was prepared. I was prepared for it. But I'll
Speaker 1: be all right. I'll go I'll go have a salad.
Speaker 1: I'll be fine. Sorry about that. Well, appreciate you joining
Speaker 1: the show. I'm taking the advice of other countries other
Speaker 1: than America telling me I need to start to lose
Speaker 1: some weight if I want to beat COVID, so that's
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Unlike you know, Blasio telling me to
Speaker 1: come get a cheeseburger for a cheeseburger doughnut. So smart that,
Speaker 1: I mean that really is like America's response to COVID,
Speaker 1: right like that, that just summarizes how dumb it's all bad.
Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous, it really is. It's cartoonist when you
Speaker 1: think about it. You know, oh, beef, people are dying
Speaker 1: of COVID. So in order to entice you to get
Speaker 1: a vaccine that doesn't prevent you from getting COVID, um,
Speaker 1: come get a cheeseburger and a hot dog, which is
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why you're getting COVID because you're fat.
Speaker 1: I think we we we've we've practiced. Uh, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's also stupid. But Dan, thanks so much for joining
Speaker 1: the show. I really appreciate your time. You've got to leave.
Speaker 1: Hey listen, and I appreciate you to in in your
Speaker 1: ground and being another voice out there, you know in media.

Speaker 1: lot of flak for it, but we do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, sirry that means a lot, really
Speaker 1: means a lot. Thank you. I gotta do this one time. Yes, awesome,
Speaker 1: Well thanks for asking me what a thank Dana Whitney
