Speaker 4 (00:39):
Shut.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Hey y'all, it's me Daniel Tosh and welcome to Toss Show.
Hope everyone's buckled up because today is gonna be one
heck of a ride. Sorry for the language. How you doing, Eddie?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I'm doing pretty good. You sound a little different though today.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You think I saund yefferent. Well, I mean we're recording
a little earlier. This is just maybe this is my
morning groggy voice. I'm sure it'll it'll work its way through.
What'd you do this weekend, Eddie?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah? I just hung out of the house, had some
friends over.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You had friends over? I didn't come over?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, I must have.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, it was a fucking bullshit, man. I had friends over.
Like whole crew of people I don't know about. All right,
you know what I did on Friday, Uh, I went
to my son's preschool and I passed out twenty one
that's how many people are in this class. Twenty one

(01:40):
index cards where I wrote a clean, funny joke that
a four year old would laugh at, and I gave
them to the kids and I told them they he
needed to practice their joke over the weekend. And then
on Monday, I went in. I had built a stage,
a little backdrop and made him a little comedy club
their preschool, and I was going to teach him how

(02:02):
to do stand up. And they were so excited, and
I got a microphone and everything like that, got a
little stool, put a little uh uh kid's water bottle
on this on the stage, and you know, I had
them do say funny things too, like uh, I'll be
here all week try the chicken fingers. Yeah, we did.
They just like to hear their voice amplified. But here's

(02:24):
the thing. Every one of those kids memorized their joke.
They took it seriously, Like their parents told me. They're like, oh,
our kid was working on his joke all weekend. And
I was like, oh, that's great, And I was just
you know, showing them that every but every kid hears
all the time that they can be a doctor or
you know, a firefighter, but you know they might not

(02:46):
be brave, or they might be dumb as shit. So
you need to know that there's another option. And that's
why I introduced him to comedy. It was it was fun.
Everybody my son did well heroes play his joke?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Why I did it? Both like say, how doing no?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Why?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
You wanting to see a butterfly man? You want refurn.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
It just holds up by the way. I didn't charge
these kids for my expertise. No, but but there are
these comedy classes. And you know, if anybody ever talks
to me about stand up there, what do you think
of these comedy guys? I think they're ridiculous. I don't
think anybody should pay money to learn how to do
stand up because to me, that was actually the fun

(03:33):
part was trying to figure out how do I do this.
I'll tell you here's a story. Some people waiting. I
know the first time I did stand up it was
not in a comedy venue, meaning it wasn't even a
comedy night I just looked in the paper in Orlando, uh,
and I saw open mic, and because I was thinking

(03:55):
everything open mic means stand up, I'm going to go
to this. And I went. There was like a little
jazz club and they were just having musicians go up
and perform all night. And I was like, oh, no,
I made a huge mistake. So I was like, I
don't think I had already signed my name on the paper.
And then I went over to the guy and I said, hey, uh,

(04:16):
I messed up. I thought this was like comedy. He's like, well,
what are you going to tell jokes? And I was
like yeah, I was just gonna go up and till
he's like yeah, that'd be great. I just just do it.
And I'm like okay. So there's this night of bad
music and then they stop to have me go up

(04:37):
for a few minutes and do horrible comedy. Anyway, So
the point is I never took a comedy class, and
it's a week until but I just you just learn,
you just figured it out. So like, yeah, that's I
did comedy the wrong venue. And then I was like, oh,
I should look for places that are doing comedy, and
that's the open mics I should go to.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I worked out for Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
And by the way, if you're somebody that's like, oh,
I signed up for a comedy school and it helped me,
then all right fine. But I just don't think it's
a necessary step in learning how to become a comedian.
And I do say this to everyone. If you wanted
to get into stand up comedy, it's a it's you'll
get better. It's not like, oh, my goodness, only the

(05:21):
funny people do well in stand up I know tons
of very successful comedians that aren't funny. And opposite, I
know tons of very funny people that are very poor
stand up comics. All right, ed, you got any videos
for us today?

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I do have a video you do? Yeah for people
just listening. Check out our YouTube channel for the link.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
The fuck was that? I hope we got paid for that, Eddie.
All right, let's see what we got here. You know
this should be next year's Super Bowl halftime show. Is this, Hamilton?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
I think this is a fire festival.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I see what you did. I see what you brought
me back? The fire festival? You remember that? Huh? More
like liar festival? Am I? Right?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Guy? Conned everybody? Oh? Man, Well, you're in luck. Today's
guest has been in prison for the past four years
for producing the worst concert ever. Enjoy Pasha, my guest today,
is the co creator of the Greatest Music Festival. He

(06:36):
was the star of two very popular documentaries, and he
was sued for one hundred million for spending millions of
your parents' money. Our first convicted felon. Uh whoo, please
welcome Billy McFarlane.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Thank you, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Let's get right to it. But this is the first
question I asked all my guests, How was jail really terrible?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I did ten months of solitary confinement, seven for trying
to do a podcast from the payphone. So it feels
a while to be in Los Angeles with you doing
a podcast and not in solitary.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
So wait, hold, you were put in solitary for trying
to do a podcast.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
For seven months. Now.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Isn't the goal in jail to get your own space?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
So on some level they at smart to me. There
there was a guy who got into a shootout with
the police and he lost his culling. He was named
Bags because he didn't have a bag.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So they made him my cellmate and solitary confinement, so
every thirty minutes, the toilet was probably a foot and
half of my bed. They had to be used, So yeah,
they found a way to make it worse.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
How'd the podcast doh coming out of prison? Just curious?
You get a lot of subs.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
An hour after the trailer came out. They just like
some beefy guard came to myself like McFarlane, get your
ass over here, and that was the That was the
end of it. Thing didn't go much further than that.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
You're you're a large man, rightly large. Did you like
do anything to yourself to make your image look a
little tougher when you were in the clink?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, My glasses were like really crooked because you couldn't
really change them out, so I look like a super nerd.
Everybody thought I was a pedophile until they asked you
before name.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, just because you had glasses on, that's that's the
look of a pedophile.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
A white guy. I don't know about you, but a
white guy in jail with no tattoos and all of
his teeth usually you're a pedophile.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Shit that there's the tell. All right, let's talk, let's
the how.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Long were you in jail four years four exactly like
plus your minus a month.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, wouldn't you know?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Four years and a month and a half. But who's
was it?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Was it four years a month and a half. Yes,
I mean that's a long.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Time, long time. I lost half my twenties. Deserve rely so,
but yeah, so I'm trying to catch up.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'll look at you so you you feel like you deserved.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It, absolutely deserved it. Totally messed up.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Now, I don't know enough about this situation to think
that you completely deserved it, because in my head, you
were seeking people to invest. Tell me where I'm wrong,
seeking people to invest, and like all investments, sometimes they
work out and sometimes they don't.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
So where I went wrong was I told investors we
were doing far better than we actually were. So I
liked to the investors. But people don't know is even
if the event worked, I still would have gone to
jail like the event we actually tried. So the scam
wasn't the event. The scam was melyned to the investors.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
So even if it would have gone off completely without
a hitch.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I'm still with bags and solitaries.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Are you? Even if it was profitable, it was profitable
even it was profitable.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Like if I tell you, hey, Daniel, you know I
have ten million dollars in my bank account and give
me a thousand bucks, And even if I returned to
you two thousand dollars, still lied. I don't have ten
million on my account after last night.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
So what do you say to people they call you
a con? I mean, is that that's not what you
set out to do.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I've been called so many things like that's the only
thing I don't like.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
That's the only thing you don't like.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
The other think I don't like. Everything else is like, yeah,
I've fucked up in so many ways. But but you
weren't deliberately trying to conn. It wasn't like this great con.
I don't want to get over on people. I think
I'm obsessed with trying to give people a good time
and bring them together, and I'm childish in a even
a lot of stupid things try to make it happen.
But the intention is good, but as it doesn't make
the crime.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, did you have to get authorization to leave the
state of New York to travel here today? And am
I responsible for you?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yes? To all the above? Had permission Daniel Tosh's name
always secure as the deal there and yes, you're responsible
for all my behavior, so.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Total hypothetical. I give you ten million dollars today, all
all through legal means. How long before you could double it?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I I probably can double it. Oh god, I probably
blow it in like three weeks.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh that's not what I want. Tones, that's not what
I wanted to do.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Give it to me. I'm not going to jail.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
No, what do your parents do?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
They live in New Jersey, so very regular family. They
do real estate.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You grew up in New Jersey. Do you feel that
had something to do with the fact that you ended
up in prison?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I think I'd proved that all New Jersey people weren't terrible,
But I think I proved it to be.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
True nurture versus nature couldn't escape. Yeah, I mean, it's
not your fault.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's not my fault.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
In New Jersey, you're gonna end up.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're boring the art pit, You're gonna you're gonna end
up someplace gross, like.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Was it prison? It was a minimum security? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Started a minimum security got in trouble twice. I flew
on con Air three times where they shackle you end
an airplane that was kind of wild.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
What was it? Just an airplane full of criminals?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Criminals shackled by the ankle?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Is your hands shackled?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Here?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
And then they put me on a bus for seventeen
hours from Oklahoma to to Detroit, Michigan. Shackled so you
couldn't pee for seventeen hours. That was kind of brutal.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
And you and you didn't pee?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
No, you, I mean you're literally shackled.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
They don't they don't care if you pee yourself.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I guess not.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
How did you survive that?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's kind of brutal, Right.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It sounds, it sounds. I mean it's worse than.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I fell asleep on the shoulder. They got next to me,
and I woke up and said, hey, what did you do?
He goes, I made bombs like, oh, maybe I'm not
going to sleep in your shoulder anymore.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Did you meet anybody in prison that was convicted of murder?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I didn't mean some murderers?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yes, that was your relationship with jaw today existent Yeah? Yeah,
how did he get off completely? Did he what was
the ramifications of his role?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I don't think anything that's weird.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
That might be the first time in history that a white,
white collared guy goes to prison and then the black
wrapper free as a bird.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
He was a little smarter. He'd gone to jail before,
so he knew the inner workings and how how the
system went down after that.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
All right, should we get into the fire. Let me
just get into the festival. You were twenty three when
you organize the fire festival? Who in the fuck gives
a twenty three year old that kind of money?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
I think this is the most embarrassing part of the story.
Most of the investors had backed me for four or
five years, so they'd seen me go through little winds
and little losses along the way, and I violated their
trust when I said, Hey, this one's gonna be the biggest, Like, yes,
I was right, but I was wrong about how big
it was going to be.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
So, I mean, I just feel like they're the ones
that are fault. I would cut a check to a
twenty three year old is just grossly negligent on their port.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
So you're not going to give me the ten million dollars.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
No, you're not twenty three anymore now, you're now you're
how old are you? Thirty two? Yeah? All right? I'm
just background for me. Don't enjoy going to see live music.
A festival seems like a nightmare to me. The best
festival in the world versus what you tried to put

(13:23):
on to me doesn't seem that different. Yeah, you're shitting
outside at accommodations are garbage.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I've only got to one music festival in my entire life,
which was a red flag. Went to Coachella one time.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Did you enjoy it?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Now? It sucked.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
It's hot, but the women they dress so so.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I wanted to meet this girl and didn't work outside
a bad time And that was my only music festival ever,
and from that I thought I could do. Fire makes
a lot of sense. Do you see the press they're
not selling any tickets.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
This year at Coachella.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah, it was all over the news and I don't
care buying it. Yeah, I know I've done Banu really
did not.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's awful.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Will you perform at Fire too?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, but I'll let you say that I'm going to
be there.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
That's so sad.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
You do that thing where you used to like lineup
subject to change and you can you promote me, but
I don't show.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Up first headliner an now it's Daniel Tosh.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I don't know that I would sell I don't know.
I think I would move the needle for you at
the festival.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
You know what I saw yesterday is you're special saying
that no one ever is sad in a wave Runner.
I couldn't relate more. So I feel like you have
to do that at the fire festival?

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Are you so you are going to do a second?

Speaker 2 (14:24):
We are?

Speaker 1 (14:25):
We are Jesus? Why not start small, smaller and not
go like swing for the fences here?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
I just like want to create an incredible experience, but
I also want to pay everybody back.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
What I owe. How much do you owe?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's like between twenty six and twenty eight million, kind
of changes by the.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Hour, So you do still have to pay this back?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, every month, I literally have to give a check
back to the investors. And then they get a percentage
of all the business revenue too. So you know a
fire too makes one hundred bucks like a percentage that
goes back to them.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Is there any way that you could be free and
clear and one big festival?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
It'll probably take like three or four festivals to pack.
I have partners, so, like, you know, our own significant
pieces of it.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
So yeah, did you ever, in your wildest dreams think
you'd be in the whole twenty six million dollars.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I think it's just past the point of like being tangible, right,
It's just so much so it's at least for me.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I always think, like I always hypothetically like, if I'm
playing with a deck of cards, do you gamble?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Not really?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I like, well, like pretend, yeah, I go, Okay, I'm
gonna put two million on his hand, and then I lose,
and then like, well, let's play, I'll put.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
It if I lose, just becomes thirty million.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
If you lose and be good, well, I just I'm
just wondering if you're like, you could just double your double.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Down if you give me the twenty eighth to try
to play with.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
If I gave you, if I give you twenty million dollars,
you would put it down on a hand.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
No. Never, I wouldn't let you give it to me.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I want to go to cut you a cha. Well
I don't. You don't go to jail if I cut
you a check for twenty five million dollars and you
find a casino that takes your action one hand A
black Jack to become even.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I would like not be able to sleep a fellows. You. Well,
let's let's let's say you don't win fuck anybody ever, Let's.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Say you win. Yeah, you pay back your debt. You're
at zero. Now what do you do with your career?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm still doing fire too. I just have to do
it and have to show people, like what the dream was?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I mean, whose dream are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
I rented an airstrip in New York like two months
ago and did a concert on the airstrip and took
people up in a plane that probably shouldn't be allowed
to fly for zero gravity flights, and that worke rely well,
so I convinced myself that you can just go bigger now, I.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Mean, just you're so ambitious and it hasn't hasn't dropped off? Yeah,
I mean, are you slowing down as you're aging? Do
you feel like, Okay? Now I've got a better perspective
on things.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I went to jail, like totally broke, lost eighty five
percent of my friends, and I'm just like so scared
of being that powerless again. It just fucking freaks me out.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Eighty five percent of your friends, Yeah, I don't even
know what that means. If I lost eighty five percent
of my friend is that I lost two friends?

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I mean I probably had ten and now I had
one and a half after it's a lot of it if.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
All you need is two friends, Yeah, it seems pretty much.
How is that with your parents?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Super upset? That's the hardest part. Family just gets unfair punishment.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, that's a tough one. But they still supported you
or no.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
I mean it's tough. They're embarrassed, right, It's like your
son is a total fuck up, So it's hard.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I mean, I'm part of me would be like that
was pretty pretty balls. Yeah, a big, big swing.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I gave him those balls, honey. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
At what point were you like, I can't stop this
and you just had to wait for the wheels to
fall off.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I was at the festival the first thousand people had arrived,
and my like number two at the company came up
and said three people had died. It was not true
at all. No one was hurt, and he had told
me these elaborate stories about they were one got bit
by a pig and bled out, two got shot, and
like none of this is even remotely true, And at
that point, I'm like, okay, let's turn these planes around
and get everybody home.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Why did someone tell you in the first place that
three festival goers died.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
They probably thought that was the only way to get
me to stop it. So they're like, what's scare Billy?

Speaker 1 (17:49):
And oh tell them that they were okay. So they
were like, listen, this is bad.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, he just isn't listening.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
But somehow you conned all the like the world's hottest
models to promote this thing and then and that made
me laugh, uh because it's not funny. That couldn't have
been hard. But but but do you think do you
think they'll be back?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
So prior to messing up the big one, we did
like twenty mini fire festival trips that went really well,
and I think that's what created all this like marketing hype.
So I want to get back to what I'm good
at and just like get help to do it, do
it right. But yeah, I have no idea who's gonna
be there, but people are gonna have one.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
You're like, Pete Davidson, is that good or bad? Well,
it just been good and that just like you. Somehow,
I don't think my Dick's that big, though, I don't.
I bet wouldn't it be great if his penis wasn't
that big? Yeah, you're like, this guy's just sweet. Did
you have a who's your who's your favorite model? That
you got to come out?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
This is a dangerous question.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Are you in a relationship?

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah you are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Somebody fell in love with you while you're behind bars
right before. Oh and you made them wait for you.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, that's kind of fucked up.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
That's messed up.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, that's wrong.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I think no, okay, but you're in a serious relationship.
That doesn't matter. In a relationship, you can still have
a conversation. Who do you think is the prettiest model?
Out of a list of models that I just read off?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
I think Bella was the most fun. She just did
the most like cool activities.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
That wouldn't be my pick. Who do you like rad Jakowski?
I think I think she's really pretty. It'd be funny too,
to get some of these models, the same models that
now they're you know, they now they're old. They have
lived life. Yeah, fire festival too. They got their kids
with them, Yet their kids are pulling at their legs.

(19:34):
They're like, mom, put something on, put a wrap on
at least by the way, I'm just guessing that you
watch the documentary I have not. You honestly have not watched.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, I can't do it.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
I watched one of them.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I'm sorry for you.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
No, it was it was enjoyable. W I mean, I
watched which one did I like? Which one?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Did?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I watch? Eddie do one on Netflix that has the
guy in Netflix? I watched the guy one on Netflix,
the guy that Yeah, that said he had had to
blow the guy at customs, which I don't know if
he actually did or didn't, but I found him delightful.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
So do you know how I found out about that
story ever happening?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
A person guard comes up to me and goes, hey,
you can tell me, did you force him guy to
blow someone for official government officer to or at least
water accustomed? Like? Wait?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
What?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like? I had never heard about this ever happening until
the police officer tried to question me.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I can't believe you didn't watch you are you think
you'll never watch one of those documentaries? How in the
world I don't believe you.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I would just get so mad, and of.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Course you'll get mad, But why wouldn't you watch it.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Because it would take away from the real plant, right,
I fucked up? And just because like someone said, it
did something in there and not be true, like it
just I'm not mature enough to.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, but I don't think you're mature enough not to
watch it.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I am.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
That's crazy to me.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I'm just scared. They all watched it in jail one
day and I went outside all alone in the rest
of the jail. They's not got a USB drive and
they watched it on the TV and I'm outside alone.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Like, who's one did they bring in the Netflix once? Yeah,
that's the better one. Yeah, So were you in jail
when that came out? I was did they try to
reach out to you, like for some any reporters or
anything a little bit?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
It was kind of a shit show, but it was.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
It was It was where were you in Ohio?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
That one? I was in New York and then I
went to Ohio and then right outside Detroit, Michigan.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
What's what's the best state to be in prison in?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I like the Detroit one the most because they're probably
the most like gang bangers there, so they were more
concerned about them and left me alone.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Let's see. So Detroit.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
There's another win real, real, real problem story about left
Billy do nothing in this.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Where was the food worse prison or the fire festival?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
So probably probably the fire festival. In jail, I had
a great Mexican cell mate. He didn't really speak a
lot of English, but he cooked me casdias with a
clothes iron every day, so he like still a clothes
iron from the laundry room and would girl case is
in our cell They're pretty good, unbelievable living large.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Good gig, did they Was there any entertainment? Do you
like put on any shows for you?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
People fighting, people getting high and like collapsing. That was
kind of the daily daily.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
And did you fight to ever?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Not really, no, I'd watch.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Did you have to cheer?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Did you have to cheer for the white people sometimes? Yeah,
that's kind of the problem. I would cheer for the
wrong guy and they would get mad.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah. Man, everything about Jill stresses me.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Did you do a lot of crying in prison?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
A little bit?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I would cry all the time.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
The toughest guy, they would cry a lot. So they
made me feel like it was okay.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Is that what she needed? You needed? Validation?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
For sure.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
When the guy has killed more people than I than
we talked to him. Was there crying every night? I
think it's a pitocray.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Well, he's got stuff to cry about, got demons in
his ears.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
He had a video he chopped the guy's head off
with a machete and he played soccer with his head.
And you're allowed to have your like legal materials, so
that he would joke you with a video of his charm.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I thought you were in a minimum security prison.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
This is in the Brooklyn Detention Center. So it was all, oh, my, yeah,
so yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
What's the first thing he ate when he got out
of prison?

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Uh? Shrimp from Costco?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh Man, shrimp from Costco. Eddie buys seafood from Costco.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well of salmon all the time, Sham and there, Billy, They're.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Great, big slabs of salm and just just and then
he gets the kit for the caesar and I'm just like,
oh God, we're all gonna shit ourselves.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
My family gave me a Timberlain wallet with two hundred
dollars and twenties in it and said you're good to go.
So couldn't really get that far.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Oh when you got out, got out?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
So hence the costco shrip. I really wanted to tell.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
You, did you get up the Do they give you
the bag of like the of the stuff that you
had on your persons when you walked in?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
They do?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh no, no, no no, they give you the bag
of what you had in jail, so a couple of
like sweatpants and notebooks.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
What misconceptions do people have about jail that you're like, Oh,
that's not the way it is.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I think as a kid, you're taught that they are
good people and bad people. I think it's like not true.
There's probably like two percent of the population who are
actually psychopaths, and everybody else is just somewhere on that
spectrum of doing something stupid in their life.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
And uh huh.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
I think most people were like good people who just
didn't have opportunity in life, and like they saw drugs
and got fifteen years for it and now they're stuck, right,
But it's hard to hard to blame some of them. No,
I mean, how desperate you are, how bad your circumstances
are often lead to going to jail. But most people
and they're actually not bad. And that was a huge
eye opener.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
My normal first question that I asked everyone, do you
believe in ghosts?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
No? Do you know.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Top five favorite Billy's.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Wave Runner Billy number one, pretending like I know how
to fly? And scary people in the back of the
plane number two.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, no, no, no, I don't know the funk. You're
talking about? Famous people named Billy, Billy the Kid, Billy
the Kid. Yeah, okay, a criminal, great?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, wild Bill.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Well another is, oh, this.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Is this is great? Right? Who else is there?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Billy Corgan, Billy Gates, Billy Gates, Billy Shatner if you
know him, well, don't, but there you go, Billy Madison,
nice Billy on the street. I don't know Heikener.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Okay, it goes on New York, he asked.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
It doesn't matter in the street.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
It sounds like pretty Where are you living currently? I'm
living in New York. We're back.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
You got your own place? Yeah, you're living with your girlfriend?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
No, some nights she's there, but she has her own
place too.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh, a little safety house for me mostly case case
things go wrong, in case things go back. How long
did you wait from when you were released to make
love to your girlfriend? How long of a wait.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Was that You're gonna get me in trouble.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Why would you get in trouble?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I was in the halfway house.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh you're not supposed to make love in the halfway house.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
No, but we made it work. Okay, made it work
in jail too, a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Did you got you got conjugal visits?

Speaker 2 (25:37):
No, but made it work a couple of times. Not
suppos to talk about that. Oh that's interesting, it's fun.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Did she did you do that thing where she mashed
her boob up against the glass?

Speaker 2 (25:43):
No, it was for real.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh, your gift seems to be raising money, So why
don't you just focus on that and like, just raise
money for charities that would really do a good pr
three seconds.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Not a bad idea, Thank you, Daniel. Let's start went.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Together a charity.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, with you, I'll do the fundraising and everything else.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
No, No, I'm not doing Hey, I always give people
a gift that's on my show of something from my house.
I thought I would just give me a check, a
blank check.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I don't think it's a good idea, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
You don't think you should have my information?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
No, maybe you guys are giving me way too much credit.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right, fine, I won't give them a blank check. Damn,
I'm gonna give you a used Ferrari.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
No way, but it's my son's I don't I want
to screw your son over.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Nope, we're screwing you over. You thought you were getting
a real Ferrari, but we're giving you a used toy
Ferrari is cool. Guess what?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Guess what? Yeh, batteries are dead. No problem, So you're
on your own. That works so hard for Hold. I
got another gift for you. I don't know what you'll
do with it, but if you go to prison again,
I want you to bring it.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
No damn.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
This is a photo of me and my wife on
a roller coaster at Dollywood.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Now, the reason I want you to have that photo
is because that's more fun than any music festival. You
go to Dollywood, They've got shows, they've got the roller coasters. Oh,
it's just the time of your life. Daniel.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, could we get on the phone in my probation officer,
put this on the floor.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I don't want this on the.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Get permission to go to the island right now, and
then you can reassess this judgment you're making.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
You're telling me that your island is gonna be better than
then Thunderhead, the roller coaster at Dollywood. All right, put
that on the floor.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
But you can't get this one.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, you keep that's yours. I want you to put
that on in your cell show people friends. Have you
ever been to Dollywood? No, it's delightful.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I want to go. Yeah, all right, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I would. I'll definitely go back to Dollywood again. We'll
I go with you. No, I gotta I gotta lug
my whole family. It's a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
So you can't chase me to your family.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I'll introduce to my family. I don't give a shit.
I'm not gonna let you watch my kids. Really no,
I mean, I mean, if I need to go to
the bathroom, you can watch them. I don't like bringing
them in. So he's weird. I wish I was like ten,
stand next to me, don't touch anything. Stand next me,
don't anything in the next time. I look over, and
my son's like trying to like just like a lean
against anyway. You're gonna have kids someday, I think so.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Probably not yet.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
You're gonna scrub the internet first. No, how much money
do you have in your how much money do you
have networth? What's your current net worth?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
So what I oe? Between twenty six and twenty eight million,
so you know negative in that range.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, but do they They don't allow you to keep
any money.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I can keep money, but I prepay a percentage whatever
I earn right to it.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, so are you making money yet?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
A little bit?

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Your zero gravity bullshit? Had a couple of dollars that worked,
just fun.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
No one died?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Is that always? Is that always the bar?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, as as nobody dies, as long as no one
gets scammed and no one dies?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
And we want baby, are you do you read your
Wikipedia page? Never? Okay, sorry to bring it up pretty bad.
I'll tell you what line one is. Yeah, con Man, Right,
it's got the word conon.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
We were negotiating a deal yesterday and one of their
counterpoints was, you think we're just gonna give this much
money to someone who's Wikipedia page has con Man and
they use that to try to get some some percentage
off on the deal.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
So did it work? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
It worked? I felt bad, Like all right, you guys.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Went yeah, I mean it's a hard argument. You're right,
we'll give you a point five off.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Tell me.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
How you really feel like, has anyone physically threatened you
that you owe money to.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
They're smart enough to yeel the threats pretty well, so
they come off as plate uh.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Huh, Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I hope you're doing great coming back. Where's my fucking money?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
But you feel the threats a little bit.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's not too crazy though. It hasn't gotten to the
point where it's bad.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Do you sleep well?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Sometimes?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Not last night? Oh no, it's bad. Why was last night?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
This is a injerous city for me?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
This is a dangerous city for you.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
She'd go back home. People seem to overlook your flaws
a little bit too fast here, so it's maybe I
shouldn't be this accepted as you come back.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Now, are you allowed to vote anymore?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I don't know that that's a good question. I think no.
But there's like they try to pass new law. Seat
you are trying to.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Pass new laws. But this is an election year, so
you probably won't be able to vote this year. But
if you had a vote, where would your vote go?
I wouldn't know what to do, you wouldn't know who
to vote. No, I'm really conflicted. Like Trump gave me
a year off jail, so that was cool. He did
not personally, He like passed a law that gave nonviolent
of first time offenders a year off.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
So that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
But so you you got a year knocked off because
of Trump? No, that's worth a vote. Yeah. I mean
if you told me you were going to vote for
Trump because he got you out of jail a year early,
I'd be like, well, I can't fault that guy.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, it's pretty hard to say no to that.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Biden step up, Yeah, seriously, what could you do for him?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Twenty six million dollars? Baby, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Would you allow jaw Rule to perform at Fire Festival too?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Now, okay, we're going younger at this time around?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well sure, but I mean that'd still be a kind
of a neat neat nod to a lessons learned earned? No, perhaps,
how are you actually gonna get musicians to show up
to this festival? Aren't they going to be like so skeptical?
That's why I'm here to get the first one. It's like,
once you come, everybody else will follow you. Who do
you want? Who's a dream? Get?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I want Kanye? Kanye? Let's too fire to Oh god?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean that is perfect.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
It's perfect.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's absolutely Is anybody better? No, get Kanye, There's no
reason he shouldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
It just fits so nicely. What could go wrong?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Have you ever thought about booking comedians at your festival?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Oh? Yeah, we did. Didn't do it, but thought about it,
like like Mike.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Most of the So this new festival might have like
like a comedy tent. Is that what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Oh, I didn't think of it until now, but it'd
be great. Could you be your headliner?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
No, I'm not gonna do it, but that's what they
have at these festivals, they have like a comedy tent.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Now, let's give you the main stage. It'll be flooding
on the water glass either barge Daniel to any of this.
Everybody's in the Wavenner smiling.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Are you doing it on an island again? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I gotta. I gotta complete the story an American island
or no, it's Caribbean. But I got to complete the narrative.
It's got to be back in a very similar location
to the first one, and we just need to execute
the dream of fire one.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
You need it. You need a longer lead time.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
We had a year now it's gonna be next February.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
You should do it in Why don't you do it
on American soil?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's boring.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I know what's boring. But like Bonnaroo does it in
a fucking whatever, shitty Tennessee and Coachill's out in the desert,
like you.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Want to challenge, Daniel Tosh. We need content here, we
need we need so many times.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Why do you say my full name, Billy McFarland.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Because I review you, guys my new business advisor.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Don't talk to your businesses advisor that way either, Okay
do you have do you have a business advisor?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I do? Okay, yeah, he's not as good as you.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
There's no scenario.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
He doesn't give me a checkbocketer, so kind of sucks.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
How much our ticket's going to cost to this new.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Fire festival starting at twenty five hundred and.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Whoa starting at twenty five hundred.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
We're focused in the million dollar ticket, Daniel Tosh?

Speaker 1 (32:55):
A million.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
There's a million dollars dollar ticket.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
There's how many million dollar tickets are there?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
We'll probably sell twenty or thirty if we can.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
And what do you get with a million dollar ticket?

Speaker 2 (33:03):
So you were partnering with this incredible new like condo
tower in Miami. So they'll have like one month a
year in this crazy like firehouse there and they get
to do all the cool shit and me at fire
they might die. We're going to try to, you know,
push the boundaries and do tricks in the planes and
jump out of helicopters and go free diving and do
all this fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Twenty five hundred? What is twenty five hundred? You did?
I get you a plane ticket?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
You'll go there on a boat from where? From Miami?

Speaker 1 (33:27):
From Miami you can get there by boat? Okay? All right?
So how long does this boat ride?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Like? Three hours? Three hours?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
All right? So this and this is going to be
in the Bahamas or is it gonna be a.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Key or is it somewhere in the Caribbean? Can't say
where yet?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Okay? Well yeah, well who owns it? Because Bahamas? We
need a passport? Do we need a passport for this one?

Speaker 2 (33:45):
You need a passport? Yes?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
All right?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
All right, so we need to work gring that to
you guys.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Three hours. We need to pass goverment.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Please give it back. I'm innocent.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Oh you don't have a passport. Okay, so you won't
be able to go to your own festival.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
There is a chance you guys don't give my passport back. No,
I think I'll have it back soon. We're working on
it diligently.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I mean, it's pretty easy to leave the country without
sport getting back in.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
So they would be so happy they would do it,
they would throw a celebration. Probably don't worry about his dumbass.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
How many days is the festival?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
I three days, like three day weekends?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Is it going to be two weekends or just one off?
Just one? Just one week Try.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Two weekends last year didn't work. Get through the first day.
So let's take.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
How excited were people that were on the second weekend
that they didn't actually do it?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
The problem was they weren't there to tell the friends
they were there. I think that was kind of the
value you got from the first one.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
In hindsight, Now, do you think those people are happy
that they went, that they were part of it or.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
They I hear a story every week or two of
someone who had just had a crazy experience at the
first fire festival. I was invited to two weddings. People
two weddings?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, huh?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Those are No, it's not that that was not cool
because that marriage will not work. Why not? Like those
people make dumb decisions. Good people, I don't believe them. Food.
How's the food situation we take care of?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh? I don't know, so we're gonna leave that one
for the last minute. The shrimp from Costco's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
We're not doing Costco shrimp billion. Food is important.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I'm trying to undersell it this time. Okay, let me
do that.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Okay, but there will be food maybe will be included.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yeah, the food's included.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
We have a festal partner who, like surprisingly, does this
stuff for a living. So I'm here to talk shit
and provide the wave rudders. They're gonna actually make.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
This work, Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
If I don't give you the headline, they're gonna fire me. Okay,
I think comedians would be great. I'll go pitch him
on it after.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
You, please, Dan, I mean yeah, I'll give you a
list you and Kanye. I'll give you.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
I could think of some you're knocking each other with,
like the inflatables and Steu falls off the stage first.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
No, well, okay, some of your ideas are off how
much you with the right you would check for to
perform at the fire festival too, I would need it's
a lot, Yeah, it's a lot, like a half a million,
damn and I and I still would say no, Yeah,
I don't have fuck you money, but I have no
thank you money.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
That's pretty close.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
People have asked me all the time, like, oh, we
do this private event. I'm like, no, it's not worth it.
It's not worth knowing that the event could be bad.
I need. I need a nice theater. Like even when
I could perform in larger venues like arenas or things
like that, I chose not to. I'd rather make less

(36:25):
money and be in a beautiful old theater where everything
sounds right, that people are seated the right way, as
opposed to a hockey arena that's been converted so I
can fucking get the most money. That's how I've always
kind of approached stand up comedy. I didn't like comedy
clubs either, the lowest end. I didn't like that because

(36:47):
people are fucking sitting in the front row eating nachos
and like, who's this. I don't like kilapenos. So it
was a middle ground for me. I wanted to get
successful enough to get out of comedy clubs. The other
good thing about not playing the biggest venues in the world,
like Fire Too Right, is that when you fall off,

(37:09):
you don't notice the fall off near as much understood.
It's nice. It's like, oh, I don't have to go
back to smaller things. It's like, no, I kind of.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Just nothing will compared to Fire Too Right, Like you
don't want to hit the peak and just have to
go downhill.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
I understand how many tickets have to be sold for
this to be considered a success. A couple thousand, couple
that's it. Yeah, how are you gonna get bit? You
can't get Kanye with a couple thousand.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
And every said we have Kanye said I want Kye.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
No, I understood, assud what you said. But he's not
coming for a couple thousand people.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
I don't know. Probably not.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I mean maybe if it's a few more wrong turns.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, you never know.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
All these artists are going to ask for their money
up front.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Probably, So thank god for the partners and Dan Natasha.
I'm not a partner, you're a backer. It's different. Uh,
do you surfers? It's just I do surf really.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
You know, people always ask me about this board. Oh,
it's painted black, but it's it's carbon fiber. It's a single.
Don't touch the board. You can touch it. I just
don't believe fingerprints on it. Yeah, but like these are
pressure marks from I actually wrote it. I used to
write it a bunch. What is it?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Five to six it?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
No, it's it's probably six to two. How tall are
you six to two? Six? Too?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I should recognized one when I see one. I guess not.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
What's your wingspan?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I have no idea manage a pretty long though.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Are they? Yeah? Did you play any sports growing up?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
A little bit? It wasn't very good. Would you enjoy
playing football and jiu jitsu?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Oh? Yeah? What do you watch now? Do you watch
all the UFC stuff?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
I watch the UFC and a big Jets fan. Unfortunately,
Oh man, it sucks.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
That was a rough year.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Yeah, it's been a rough life.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
To sure. Have you been Do you go to Jets games?

Speaker 2 (38:43):
I went to the first game this year. Aaron Rodgers
carried the flag out. I've never heard seventy thousand drunk
people so happy. And when he gets hurt like two
minutes into the game, the entire stadium just gets depressed
the same time, it's like a collect of like, fuck
our lives.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Did people blame you?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh for sure? By John Send this guy, fuck the
turf up.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
The fire festival guys here everything.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Security carried me out there throwing popcord heavy.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Oh that's tough. How many years in your thirties do
you think we'll be spent in jail?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I really hope none. You think you think I'm gonna
go back? No, I really I'm not. I don't think so,
but that'd be super fucked up.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
The odds of you going back to jail are are
greater than if you were like me, where you would
just stay so far away from everything that got you
there the first time. The fact that you're embracing it
and diving back into that world that would terrify me.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I think what's scary is like it's an opportunity for someone, right,
like if they get me and if someone like gets
me in trouble, like they get rewarded for that, and
that's like that freaks me out.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Oh yeah, it's like it's like a boony on your head.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
It's like a come up for someone's career. So that's
kind of scary.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Was it worth it?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
No? No, I heard a lot of people it's not cool. No,
I'll pay them back though.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
The people of the Bahamas. How many of those still
need to be paid back.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
So we owe like two hundred thousand back to them,
and that that will be paid soon. So we're working
in there right now.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And how many years? When when was the fire festival
supposed to happen?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Twenty seventeen? Okay, we spent around like four million dollars
on local employees there, and like two hundred k we
still owed.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
So two hundred k. Yeah, I feel like we can.
We can get that two hundred k back to them.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
But let's do it right now. Write a check.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Ah, I don't want to. I don't want to. I
don't want to pay two hundred k.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
You'll, you'll help, you'll. It's like one hundred and ninety people.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
It's one hundred and ninety people that need to get paid.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, they're like the average just that with interest. That's
like what they're what they're own. So all right, we
need to get We need to is right out to
Billy McFarlane and we make sure it gets the right sources.
I'm kidding don't do that.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
I'm not making it.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
I'm not ready to check to you, and we don't
know what to do with the check.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
You don't know what to do with the check. I
bet you do.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
At a zero.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Billy, thank you for being on the show. I appreciate it.
Good luck with Fire Festival two. I can't wait to
watch that documentary. And yeah, all the best.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Honored to be in the same chair as doctor Finky.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
So Pasha, Hey, Carl, what do you think of Billy?
Seems like that time away did him really really good.
Seems like he's on the path of the straight and narrow.
Full disclosure for you people at home that are wondering, Yes,

(41:42):
I have bought me and my family those million dollar
tickets to Fire Festival two. Would you like to come
to Fire Festival. It's in the Bahamas. They got to
do a little paperwork to get dogs in unless we
uh you know, yeah, Fire Festival two. There's no way
that's not a success. I encourage all my listeners to

(42:07):
attend Fire Festival two. All right, Oh hey, Carl, I
know why your head's down right now. You don't want
me to tell it, but I'm gonna tell it. Uh.
The other day, Uh, my son and I were in
the pool and my uh my daughter was running around
the deck, uh without any without a diaper on. She's

(42:30):
you know, she's young, she's one, but she was naked.
And then my son and I were watching her. You
know what, we gotta watch her close because she doesn't
back into things. She just goes straight off. And was like,
all right, and now you're dead. Uh so you have
to watch and you have to be prepared to sprint. Uh. Anyway,
she's walking around and she stops, and we're like, and

(42:50):
she just stares at me, just looks right in my eyes,
like just beautiful blue eyes, just stares at me and
just shits just a huge shit, one big, solid, long turd.
And I'm like, oh my goodness. And my son is
like ah ah. And then I go, well, now it's
really a poop deck. Oh oh. That both of us

(43:12):
chuckled for so long. Anyway, then we scream, uh right, Carl,
we scream. We say, mom, get a boot bag. Our
daughter just crapped on the deck. And then she goes,
she turns around and runs inside. She's laughing a little bit.
And then I look at my son and my son goes, oh, no, Dad,

(43:34):
and I go what, and the poop is gone, oh yeah,
and I go what and my son goes, I can't,
I can't get it out of my head. Carl just
came up and ate it. Carl, admit it. You ate
my daughter's poop. A whole turd in one bite, just

(43:57):
walked up, snatched it and walked away. Wow. But that how?
I mean, what do you do? I don't remove his teeth.
I don't know what to do. I brushed him, I
wiped his mouth down a little bit, but it was nothing.
It was fine. It's breath smelled fine. I don't even
think he shooed. It just devoured a turn. I gotta

(44:18):
live with that for the rest of my life. My
son was traumatized. He just kept saying, I can't I
can't stop thinking about it. Oh. Anyway, speaking of that,
