We got Mary Anne, Reilly who could not make it?
Because she's not feeling good and mr.
Mike, the mayor himself is in Chicago, still so Not that

(02:14):
What's up, guys? Oh, man, it's a good.
I mean, I'm going. I'm, I'm awake.
I'm alive. I woke up this morning.
You know, we had a really good show last night here at the
rinse, every theater. And I, I'm still kind of feeling
the high from it, the guys that were on the show last night.

(02:35):
Justin, Hays, Karma de Pio and Amos Mac.
Those guys pillars of their Community illness.
They are the floor. Awesome, and I'm proud to say
that. They're all local guys.
All right, yeah. All right.
Kicking it Western Washington. Good job my Cretin local or like

(02:55):
Olympia. Okay.
Yeah. So Tacoma, Justin Hazel and be a
famous Mac and Kermit lives in North, like the northern part of
Seattle, I believe. Okay, but yeah, definitely
local, guys. Guys and it was like one of
those lineups that I wanted to do like the first thing that I
thought about when I put together the lineup was well.

(03:15):
Number one, let's get first. What Comics at like we all like
we get along just fine, you know.
And, you know, it's, it was one of those things where I was
like, let's do like, this diversity thing, you know, and I
thought the lineup was more diverse than audience, you know,
like, like, yes, Kermit's going to bring it like, all these

(03:35):
Hawaiians, you know, it's gonna be like a pineapple pizza.
But not like it would like to smoke a ham in front of the
theater or something that would have been awesome and had like a
luau, but it was totally opposite.
You know. It was just like a lot of red
know what I appreciated about the show is that you could tell
you guys knew each other really well.

(03:57):
Oh, yeah. Because of the way you played
off each other and we're making jokes even you know and you know
if you're on a national stage I'm sure with guys that you
don't normally perform with you,probably don't have That
camaraderie right? Yeah, I kind of some but because
you know it's like when you whenyou know somebody or have done
enough shows with them, you kindof know what the life again.

(04:18):
It's like a Brotherhood, you know, you know what pushes their
buttons, you know what? They'll but it's just like we're
very thick skin. Like I like me.
Justin is one of those guys thatyou sit in a room with them and
you're cracking up the first five minutes and you either like
him like, you know? Yeah, yeah.
But I just left your chops if helikes you or it could be like
Wow, this guy's complete asshole.

(04:40):
Like but why would anybody want to hang out with them?
And it's like, give it time. He grows on you.
He grows on you and Amos, you know, aim is, I did a, we did
the last show we did was last year in August at the Emerald
City, ComiCon invention. And there's this comic, who does

(05:03):
the, he does, the Nerds of Comedy, the real nerds are
comedy, the real there, Of comedy and Amos was on the show.
And I was a kind of quiet like Amos is on the shelves.
Like I didn't know he was a nerd.
I didn't know he liked Comic Conand stuff like that he's into
anime but ironworker. Yeah, amen.

(05:24):
She's like manly man, right? Yeah.
So so that's that's the thing. I'm just like, I mean, I know
you got a kid and all, but it's like, do you really like what he
like when he closed out the show?
And it was amazing. And I was like, oh my gosh.
It was from that performance that made me think I need to get
him. I need to get back on the show.

(05:44):
Yeah. Also it was, it was really great
and I'm Kermit is one of the sweetest guys in the business.
I mean, just he drove all the way up from Salem.
Wow. Like I mean usually when you see
him on stage he's decked out in these nice suits like like it,
he looks like he's going to telljokes and then I thought of you
at the same time, you know I mean like he's like okay this

(06:05):
next joke is brought to you in part by Can I see some ID?
Which actually, you know, so it's just that, you know, he
dresses, really nice and he's very professional.
So, you know, this was like, kind of like the less Dapper
down I've ever seen him, but I'mlike, dude, you're coming from
like, Salem watching your daughter or participate in a
sporting event life. Of course you're gonna, you

(06:27):
know, go through traffic and tryto get here as fast as you can.
But yeah. But yeah, no.
So, but he Came in did, is they put the exactly what it's
supposed to do and was what it was perfect.
You know? Very perfect.
So I was happy that he was able to stop by here on his way home
and tell some jokes. Oh yeah, it was, it was really
fun. It's do any of those guys have

(06:47):
any any albums or anything out or so.
You know, Kermit has his specialon Dry Bar comedy on Facebook.
Okay, so you are on Facebook andYouTube.
If you do, search for criminal po Drive bar, comedy, you'll Is
one of his special that he did with them.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know.
I mean, back in the day I was buying all kinds of like Richard

(07:08):
Pryor and Steve Martin albums and stuff like that.
Is that still in the comedy world?
Do people, do people still do albums?
And you can go on like Spotify, type in a name and well, not
much. I had like a lot of comedy
albums on Spotify and Spotify for some reason.
Well, a lot of artists took their stuff off Spotify but you
could go on like YouTube and seelike the back to taping He's you

(07:33):
know, or even like any other, like apple apple has like all
kinds of stuff that you but yeah, people still record
albums, you can still use it to record an album here you will, I
heard about that. Yeah, I ended up saying no to
that and if you saw the show last night, in the way I hosted,
you could see why. But no, but no, I ended up

(07:55):
deciding not to do it and like, well, postpone it a lot further,
I was going I was kind of going through some stuff and it's
like, you know what, I'm not sure if I want to do it or I
wanted to wait till wanted to wait because I think the
audience for, at least for me ifI'm doing a comedy album.
I wanted to be good, you know, Iwant to, I want to be able to do

(08:18):
the the album and be like, okay,that I did exactly what I set
out to do, and the jokes that I wanted to tell.
And it was just one of those things where a, I was like,
questioning my comedy career like, I've been doing this for
11 years. I'm like, you know, at what, at
some point you think to yourself, like, okay, I'm here,

(08:39):
how do I get to hear? And you know some you know
sometimes you kind of need to like step back and kind of like
reflect and not try to push too hard because you want to bottom
out and just like end up hating yourself and then hating the
residents. So that's kind of how it is
Kyle's and musicians been in a bunch of bands and stuff and
some recordings. And yeah, but is this kind of

(09:01):
same thing, right? In a band and you know you,
yeah. Ryan didn't grind and I mean I
wouldn't call it grinding in theband is like going to the bar
and getting free beer to play music.
That okay, that was pretty fun here and chicks reader Jack's.
Yeah, our drink tickets, pretty much the grind would be more in

(09:23):
the practice. I would imagine there's some
would be something similar in the comedy world, I don't know,
but it would be like spending the hours just doing it by
yourself to get better. And that's where were the grind
is. Yeah, I don't have that creative
bug in that outward way, so I don't get it, but it's
fascinating to me. Yeah, I mean, it's just like,

(09:44):
it's all we do is, you know, be creative.
And I not like it, you know, I'll be on the plane and
sometimes if I'm not sleeping, I'm just like, well, what you
have like a little pen, and a pad sitting there on my tray
table, and it's just like blank.It's like, okay, so what do we
want to write about? All work and no play makes
Jamal, little boy, duct tape to see what they see that.

(10:09):
That I know a lot about the really give me my left hand, so
I can just write, you can talk to take the rest of the body,
all the way through. Is that the process on jokes,
you just keep a notebook and tryto keep, you know what?
So, I did this joke last night about the awning joke.

(10:29):
Yeah, that's so fun and That joke is it's literally a week
old. Yeah and I sometimes you know
you know like sitting down by yourself in a dark room is not
the way to do it. You gotta go outside, you got to
see the world, you know. And I was actually I was just

(10:50):
telling my friend is just last night.
I was a walking. I was actually going to an open
mic And I was going to open mic,and I was transferring from one
train to another and I was walking down the hall.
And there was this lady who yawned and she did not put her
hand. She didn't cover her mouth and I

(11:11):
got pissed. Like just like for no reason,
you know, I didn't know her, youknow, I'm saying?
I didn't and it was just like, asmall thing, you know, just like
like, if someone's like she might as well just sneezed, it
is probably gonna cover her mouth but I And I could have
easily like, I'm pretty mild mannered person.
Like I let a lot of stuff go, but for some reason, like that

(11:33):
was the straw that broke the camel's back at.
I just lost my faith in society.You don't on commodity in the
New York snaps because of Ian. Never happened - yeah.
Like a comedian. Pushes a lady on the floor
because she has Bad Manners right on the third rail but I
saw that and I just remember just like in my dream like going

(11:54):
into the city I'm like in a pretty good mood and and when I
saw that I just instant eight. I got Dark Cloud.
Just came over my head and I gotupset, and I sat in a train, I
took my phone out and I just started writing.
I told me about this lady yawning and I was just like
describing it and like the most vile ways and I don't know what
I could do this better than morecreative way.

(12:15):
So I'm just like so I get I get to this open mic and I'm sitting
down next to my friend and she'sjust like, um, what are you
doing? I'm like, oh, I'm a writer Joe
at the so, but I'm not even on the open mind.
Mind you I'm here to support. Okay.
And what are you doing? Oh, I'm writing a job.
Okay, like I didn't know you're not to do that here.

(12:35):
I'm not even paying attention. They're going on.
Just like I am mad right now andI'm just sitting there just like
and I'm not sure what I like is this is this her irate what I
imagine I imagine Jamal and a date great and he did something
comes across and he pulls out a little notebook and he starts
taking notes and the gal sittingacross from him is like he doing

(12:57):
and then you know, says something and he writes a little
more and she's like what the hell is he taking notes on?
There's something there's an equivalent to that.
Actually, if I just sit there and just stare at you and I just
process it in and I remember onetime I was dating a female
comedian and I said oh why did Isay female can be?
I was in the comedian, that's not matters and she was like

(13:21):
telling me stuff about her day and I'm sitting in the tub said,
looking at her. And I'm listening, you know,
like how many Supposed to and she's like you're not even
listening to me. Are you all right?
Sure. I'm just like, no, you're not.
You're writing jokes in the areaof life.
I mean maybe. But I mean not if you're gonna
tell it first. Yeah, smile and Nod smile.

(13:43):
Exactly that every time you gotta mix it up like four
seconds and then three seconds and then you gotta throw in like
a little, oh, really? Yeah, I would have done the same
thing to, you know, Until she's telling the story about how her
dad or her puppy died. And you're like, oh yeah that's
great. I'm all for it.

(14:04):
Yeah tomorrow. What do you guys think?
Like here's a question that I have a girlfriend but three
years but there is a brief period between a marriage and
girlfriend where I was dating. What is etiquette on date with
phones like what he's supposed to do?
Someone projects like so put it under the table phone down.
Exactly, exactly. So it's down face down.

(14:24):
I do is I'll just, you know, I usually have my phone.
My pocket. And I don't like because I'm
afraid of my slip out. Oh, something's very
uncomfortable. Yeah, I take my phone and I put
it face down right there, right there.
So even if it rings or oh. And I checked and I put it on
silent. Like, do not disturb my silent.
Yeah. So I don't want it, ringing out,
but I put right there because a I'm paying attention to you.

(14:50):
And no matter what happens here,it's all about you, bam.
Now if she gets up and goes to the bathroom, then I kind of
gives me go get you. Time to kind of like okay this
that I wish it comes back it's like right back down talking to
you. Yeah but as far as that goes
like I mean you don't want to beat Atkins just like look at
your phone guy. I'm sorry to game is on and I

(15:10):
don't want all those Tinder matches.
I doubled and got a text messageand it's like you know, talking
shit about your, she could read upside down.
So I oh my God. Okay, I can see why you were on
a dating app. All right.
Well, you know what? This was my yeah, there's been a

(15:30):
couple times where we were recording a podcast and it's
during the football season and you could tell Jamal's watching
the game. I mean, I will people watching
are like, why is he keep lookingat phones because I'm posting on
Facebook and shit and I believe in you.

(15:52):
Correct me if I'm wrong. Is Jamal, is a fan of one of the
most rabid. Fan base has ever, which is the
East Coast. Yeah, I think the team the
football team that I like we're kind of divided group so but
yeah. But and it's funny it's hot
bitches that because I mean yes it will write it, what he wasn't

(16:14):
that distracted, but it wasn't physically.
What is he doing? I'll have my phone like right
here and like we'll be talking about issues of the heart and he
tried excited about good and my eyes will just go like this.
And then it's like it's always like a slight.
Look like my head doesn't even move.
Like you can see my eyes. Well, I'm looking but both me.

(16:36):
Mary Anne. Realizes he's watching the game
hurt you. No, yes, no.
And it's okay. That's a good.
We record Thursday night and Thursday Night.
Football is the thing and I havefantasy football.
So I watch all the games becauseI'm just, like, I got money
riding on this. Yeah.
But yeah. So, but I mean, at the same time
it's like I look like, Tata be talking about Star Wars and I'm

(16:59):
like, I'll just like look around.
He's a glazed over. I'm just gonna, I'm Gonna Last
like, 10 minutes. And the show talked about, hey,

(17:28):
did you see the Mandalorian? And I'm like no and this?
And again that like I was going to why it's on my list, but I
don't like watching. Like still haven't watched it.
Actually, I'm somewhat caught up.
I watched the two seasons now. I shall never seen it now.
We're okay for now, you got somebody else to and now it's a
really good show. Actually, I saw the entire first

(17:48):
season of the mandala. You know, I saw the first three
episodes in New York and then I came here and I watch the rest
of it, okay? And I was Like okay.
Like I this is a pretty good show.
Then I went on in the season 2 and it was good too and what now
I don't know how far back I am now because I feel like it's
season 3 now. Yes, episode 5 came out.

(18:10):
That's the one. Sorry for being well.
Come on everyone with like the Bubba fat guy in the lair, tiny
card Yoda guy. Yes,

(18:43):
and people were happy when he went off with Luke Skywalker,
and but now he's back and I get it.
I mean, the kids, my kid loves it because of friggin baby Yoda,
right? I like it because the action and
it's Star Wars, right? But I mean, It's all those
things. Honestly, I mean, it's I mean, I
don't under, I never, I haven't heard the - about grew but yeah,

(19:05):
I think the only thing that I'veheard - about any of these shows
on this new pluses, the book of Bubba Fett was kind of lame the
first three episodes and then you know, men do and grow go
show up in the matter and the fourth episode.
We're going baby. Yo, Divan is that girl Goos that
baby out? Yeah.
Good girl. Good girl.
Damn, it really calls him, baby.Go to cuz he's a Small version

(19:27):
of yoga. Okay, I just asked me to season
2, at some point we get introduced to a Jedi and the
Jedi is able to talk to grow go and she's like his name is Greg.
Ooh, you know, because before I was a kid, this was what.

(19:51):
Yeah, that's what they always say.
Like, hey kid, I will tell you taught him, this might upset
you, I'm tall but I'm Way I think Star Trek is so much
better. They're two different things at
this point. I mean, I like both flavors of
funny. I think April Fool's posts is
somebody made that Disney boughtthe rights to Star Trek II, in
sunshine, all day, just typing do you know

(20:25):
what day it is? And He is like, okay, so in the,
the they called the Kelvin Universe, which is the JJ, the
Jade, a trick as I call it JJ Abrams did the new movie and
2009. If you watch after you, if you
watch that movie, knowing that it parallels the first Star Wars

(20:47):
movie like farm boy, goes to space.
Okay, is is story arc. You know it's story arc is very
similar is greatest at Sorry becomes his best friend, you
know. So we play Just reusing
storylines now. Yeah, that's resize.
Only I, right? Yeah.
Doctors put a plot action and that was and that was one of the

(21:08):
complaints that people is like. This is this isn't Star Trek.
This is Star Wars. I was like, yes, why?
I liked it because it was, it was it wasn't it wasn't a bunch
of psycho. Technobabble in like, you know,
isn't The Lion King like that towhere it's just Hamlet but with
lions. Yeah, true.

(21:28):
I've heard I've also heard that Harry Potter's, just Star Wars
with Wizards and dragons, Harry Potter.
Yeah, a lot of the kids were reading the books.
I mean, the only reading and I was like, wow.
Okay, kids are reading, you know, like that that and they

(21:50):
say, I can't wait for the next book and I'm like there's more
than there's more books. I remember like it was like a
phenomenon like the hair and then the movie started coming
out and then you could hear likethese these young black kids way
younger than me being like Oh the pope was way better than
moving on my walk a I'd like that's what I've not cracked.

(22:14):
I have in my Harry Potter book at my didn't.
Wait in line for a few hours on one of them.
My son was like, I don't know, 10 or 11 something like that and
waited in line at a Barnes & Noble.
Hey, to get the bug to be one ofthe first ones.
I buy this like waiting in line for concert tickets.
Back in the deck. Exactly.
Like you would think that they like Ticketmaster would be like

(22:37):
in fact the strangest places like it like music.
But as a scientist, I know we'rehere for the Harry Potter book
and that's why is it really a book like when you open it?
There's like we'd cut out into the majors or something like,
you know, it's really a book with math and they're interested
in, you know? But but So I started watching, I

(22:58):
started watching the movies and I haven't watched all of it.
I'm stuck at, I don't even know which one I'm stuck at.
I should. That's the fourth one.
And I don't even know the title of it.
I don't remember the title, maybe they're like so, but but I
will send us the movies are pretty interesting, you know,
and as I'm looking at the moviesand and and you really got to

(23:19):
pay attention, you know I'm saying like of everything that's
going on. I could I understand the
fascination, you know, I haven'tread the book so I can Can't
really compare the movies with the book but it blows my mind
when the kid was like, oh God litter fire.
What was better? And I feel like such a loser.
Now I'm just like I want to be cool like you, and you're not
even old enough to drink yet. All right.

(23:40):
Be cool. Like you Harry Potter books?
Yeah, I never got any of the Harry Potter stuff.
My side I got introduced to it. Harry Potter from my niece.
She had like a hardback books. She's like my mom bought her,
all the books there, or hardback.
Author JK JK Rowling. Yeah.
Alright, then she in big trouble.

(24:01):
She's she's anti-trans. And some of her characters and
their books are. They are stereotyped and
whatnot. So so people are like protesting
like anything that comes out from her being stereotyped in a
book? Doesn't everybody gets through
typing in a book? I don't know.

(24:22):
I never understood like that concept.
Like, oh, I can't read that bookbecause it's a black guy, whose
ass Slave. And it said, in my slave times I
can't read that because I might get triggered.
Like, what the hell? I never understood that concept.
Yeah, a lot of people are protesting the new video game
that just came out like, in the last month and I supposed to be

(24:42):
awesome. I read a review about that one.
I've got to watch my friend Egypt, who's one of the comic
dad's he he does a twitch streamer.
He plays games and I tuned in one day and he was playing that
game as I could just Harry Potter.
He's like, yeah. Then you came just came out of
it. Okay, cool.
I'm seeing are watching is like like, okay, this is kind of

(25:02):
cool. It has its kind of third person,
view your cameras like right behind your character and make
What wizard. Yeah, I did one of the books in
particular and I did. He create your own character.
I mean, you can customize the look to go, it's an open world.
Can you can wander? It's kind of like, it's like GTA

(25:24):
but with Wizards instead of Steal someone's broom.
I will say this and I can't defend this because I don't
remember it well enough, but I had a little period of my life
where I heard about j.k., Rowling being like anti-trans or

(25:45):
something like that. And so, I looked it up like what
did she say? And from what I found that was
like, nothing in there is like anti-trans.
It seemed like it was a way, blown thing.
Sorry, Mike, but I I don't remember exactly what I read.
I can't necessarily position shebut I looked it up and I was
like, what? No she's not.
She retweeted or she tweeted something that was like about

(26:10):
trans people in general. I think.
But she's also created characters that are you know
making making the basically saying that the Death Eaters
were like How was it, Death Eaters.
The dam are like the bad guys. In those movies, in those books,
there are coyotes there, like, they're basically like grim

(26:31):
reapers. Okay, I mean like, when they
catch you, they suck out your your oh, okay.
Okay. So, whatever.
I had a picture in my head, justpop up.
It's yeah. It's literally like just, you
know, the Grim Reaper but, you know, in there, when they talk,
they all whisper, you can do games.
I do pictures saying, saying soon, The world combat suck it

(26:53):
out. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. So I mean I I don't own any of

(27:14):
her. I mean I have the movies I they
were a gift so I didn't spend any money on it so but Me back
to like what years? That's really cool that like
Harry Potter, did it with getting kids back into books.
That another one was The Hunger Games, right?
Like that one, got a bunch of kids reading books and stuff.
Yeah, it's cool seeing that in, in the modern time when I, when

(27:35):
I get on the train, I actually as of a couple weeks ago, I got
me a library card. Hey, something that I haven't
had. I mean, I'd rather lived in
Seattle. I had a library card and I
didn't live too far from the library, but I got a library
card recently and I walked into the library, I live.
Live on the same block as a library.
Okay. I mean, so I get to the library

(27:56):
and, and I'm browsing through their books and all that and I
mean, I was like, I'm good. I'm actually going to read again
and, which is something that I can't, I can't the last book I
read cover to cover comes a long, long time ago.
And it was like a book that's read for school or anything like
that. It was just like us.

(28:16):
I was cleaning up my storage unit and I saw this book of like
I'm I'm going to read it and I read it.
It was an It was a farm hi-ho and and if you do, you have to
read it in high school and and whatnot.
And I was and I read it and I was like, oh, did I still hate
this book? You know, I I mean, I like it
but I'm just like, oh, man, likeit's still hit me and then and

(28:39):
then there's a movie that they had and I watched that and I
still like a really popular Nintendo, Nintendo game series
to animal. I think Animal Farms to learn.
It's like a cross social, that'snot breaking up.
Yeah. It's like animals are more equal
than others, or I was thinking of Animal Crossing.
But yeah, but it's allegory on communism.

(29:01):
Yeah, yeah. And it's a good only but it's a
great book but it was like the last book that I read and even
when I flew here, I put two books in my bag in case like on
the Fly. I'm you know, I could read on
fight but I did finish. So I saw the library they have
like this thing that were you could check out 50 items at my

(29:21):
house. Now I have 50 books, left,
aside, three bolts manage, threebooks from James.
And I was like, and this was notlike one trap, you know, I'm
just like carrying 50 books. I took my check out like five
bucks at a time, then I was liketen books and then ten books.
And then like I just I was like,you know, I'm just going to grab
all these books and then it happened in order that I'm going
to read them stacked up in a tower.

(29:43):
And I just finished, like, my first book, like three days ago
and and, and I'm like on the train.
I'm reading it because I every time I get on a train, And I see
like somebody reading a book. I'm like, you know what?
That's cool because it's like, you know, we live in a society
where like we are so handcuffed clean ology.
I'm on my phone, like doing thisor or doing this, and it's

(30:04):
something. I'm kind of tired of it.
I mean like me, I'm kind of likebored of it.
Hmm. So I dislike to my phone so and
I'm 40 years old. I know, I know, well, I can't
talk right now. I'm podcasting, you know, I'm 40
years old and I don't want to beThis is as much as I'm Gonna
Learn. I don't need to learn anything

(30:25):
after that. You know I'm saying.
Like I do not want to like I don't want to learn anything
new. I don't care. 40 is a decline
like, I don't know, I don't wantthat or my life you know like
I'm footage. I go to the gym.
I am still active but I think knowledge is very important, you
know. Have you ever do drink you guys?

(30:48):
Yeah, obviously sometimes Ever have to be in a conversation and
we're talking about something that I'm just like I have I'm
like no knowledge of your I'm saying.
So it's like but you seem like when you guys talk like Star
Wars. And so I've seen the shows but
I'm not gonna like interject something and just be like,
yeah, I'm smart, you know? Like I don't want to, if I don't

(31:12):
know anything about it, even ourpodcast, if I don't know about
something, I am not going to interject because it's just
like, you know, and sometimes it's smart to do that to life.
Look, I know this is not something that I'm very versed
in. So I'm going to like step back
and then just listen to somebodytalking and learn from it, you
know. Right.
So I want to be able to just andjust for my own personal you

(31:35):
know I you know I just want to be able to just learn something
new and it's something from a fiction.
What was the, what was the book?You just finished?
Ha ha. It's it's, it was a boy's desire
on a tropical island. It was called pornography by
Debbie Nathan, I don't know. And it was, it's not.

(31:59):
It's about pornography and how it the history of pornography.
Okay, I'm shape Society. It's not like, it doesn't get
into like the vulgarity of Life boy in this scene, you know,
which I thought was which Applejack rip off your thumb
just like. Yeah, right.
But it just talked about. Like, it talked about the
business and like, And how it isand the world, how hard it can

(32:24):
be? Yeah.
No. But it's affecting then it
wasn't enough for nothing. It was very like eye-opening.
Because, you know, it talks about like the like the history
where it started and how did he fall, you know, and it and it
gets into the business side of it and it got into like, you
know, they've interviewed a lot of people who are in the

(32:45):
business and, and it was just aneye-opener just on that alone.
And so now I I look at it differently.
Sure. Or we'll be looking at it
differently. We know who the next time?
No, my short dalliance in pornos.
Oh, do tell working for a delivery service.

(33:06):
We actually used to deliver the film cans to some of the big
like the AMC theaters. Right?
And one day, I was carrying a couple across the warehouse and
this guy who's always talking about pornos and being
importance and going to La and becoming a porn star.
All this stuff Chris If you're out there somewhere, he comes
up. I said yeah, I always wanted to
be in the movie industry. Dude, we could, we could leave

(33:29):
on Saturday and I'm telling you he is a day, will make like a
grand a day for movies a day. I'm like, well, the fucker for
movies that day. He's not wrong guy, male
performers, don't make much money because you to win, but I
give you a check and you would have if you were taking your
making for you would probably make like three grand or three a

(33:51):
day. 25 Grand like that day. If you're doing like, for sure.
I mean, you remember not to break.
You guys have any of you seen the movie Orgazmo?

(34:11):
Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Oh, man is absolutely the
funniest thing is Essentially itabout porn.
It is about a Mormon missionary who becomes a porn star.
He's like he's doing his missionand he interrupts have filming
of a movie and the director says, you know, the bouncer guy

(34:38):
is kill them. And you know, the guy goes to
chase off the Mormons and he knows Kung Fu and beats the shit
out of The Bodyguard and stuff and it's the South Park guys.
Yeah. And ends up ends up being hired
to play the main character in the movie.
They were Filming. It's really kind of big porn
star, but his Mormon faith won'tallow him to inject his faith

(35:00):
into anybody. So that's why we're supposed to
be penetration. He goes, well, we'll choose a
stunt cock. Yeah.
So hopefully, they'll start going to seems that this the
stunt cock has a big black dude.He's like, you don't see a
problem with this. Hahaha.

(35:24):
Yeah, it's really you have to rent it.
It's mine. I'm intrigued.
I have no idea how and it takes us a jab at the industry.
It takes a jabber did, but it also makes a lot of fun of
Mormons. Yeah, it's so fun and that's the
one thing to do. It's just like, they take
something like, very like Precious faith and they're just,
they just throw it through. Yeah, which I mean good.

(35:47):
I mean, this once in a while this is like 20 years before
they did the Book of Mormon Yeah, you know.
So yeah, I'm worried about the Mormons day, if Society falls
down and I've done this little like prepper kick in my life
right now. It's just weird.
But if Society collapses, the Mormons are going to take over
because they have Food Network's, they have like

(36:09):
self-reliance built into their culture.
Don't tell that they are gonna take over, okay, don't tell that
to the Jews because they're like, we're next in line.
Are you saying they have more than the Catholic Church?
Because I'm pretty sure the Catholic church has everything.
Well, maybe they would take overthis.
The Southwest United States, that if llama is the

(36:35):
fastest-growing, well Christian faith.
Okay. Yeah, I got feel like people are
over the whole Christian thing that there's a lot more atheist
these days I think. And you want to thank you
Christians for that, you know? It's just, I mean, I, when I was
a kid, I used to go to church three times a week.
Saying wow, that three times. Yeah, we go Wednesday, Sunday.

(36:57):
And then sometimes I'll have like night service on Sunday and
that's just way too much Church.Like a child, no worries.
Jehovah's, Witness of frost knows a Christian just like a
process, all this, you know, morality and stuff.
And I'm just like, man, I'm justnow learning with boobs.
Are, you know, like, did you go through this Jesus thing at me,

(37:19):
do you know? So, it's just it.
And so, but as I grew up, And I learned that I can make my own
decisions. Later, have to go to church
anymore II. Just I'm not and I'm saying like
I'm I don't believe in a higher power.
I just don't believe in the whole organized religion,
hierarchical organization. Yeah, the community aspect

(37:41):
school like that's pretty neat when they can like get people
together in community. Yeah.
Like you like their body but hey, you know, we're doing a
potluck. Oh yeah.
Cool. You know I'm saying?
But it's almost like it's like arecruitment, you know?
They're like, before we feed you, we have to do some prayers
and some other things you need to accept.

(38:02):
This ridiculous. Belief come over to my swimming
pool. I just love it when the answer
to everything Jesus, you know, like hey, what's the square root
of 9? Jesus, that doesn't make sense.
That's why it's called faith. I could just wrap your wrists
every time you say something other than she's like a Holy

(38:23):
Trinity, You just put one, that's putting one of three
answers. Get one of those Catholic nuns
like to, like smack the back. Her hand with a ruler guy
slapped, by a nun in the fifth grade, like, in the bacon and
check. What did you say?
I didn't say anything. So, Catholic school, we had to

(38:43):
raise money, right? Always fundraisers.
You see, they're selling chocolate bars or you're doing
some kind of performance for, you know, priests But we're
about to go on. We're all lined up, fifth grade
class, we're going to do this big like western hoedown dance
thing and one of my buddies pushme into the girls bathroom
through the door and I came backout.

(39:06):
I think I shoved him and we weregiggling.
It was just kids stuff, right? And none comes up.
She's like what did you do? What did you do?
And I'm just like, what like that and I left and they had to
be you know, without you know Young Charles to be there for
the big performance but yes I buy a nun.

(39:29):
Parents got pissed. Yeah but they had to sign
something when I went to elementary school saying that
you're the ruler on the knucklesthing.
I remember in elementary, I think it was even Middle School.

(39:52):
The Office. Had a paddle above the door.
Yeah. Big big.
Wooden paddle like from the movie Dazed and Confused.
The paddles of those guys were using it to make it the Hester.
Oh yeah, let's go resistance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I got threatened with the paddle more than once but I
don't remember ever getting hit with it.
I got paddled twice a junior high and I didn't know that was

(40:15):
a thing. I would hear kids talk about it.
Like, oh, did you hear about someone?
So, he got paddled for cursing. And I was like, paddled.
I mean, I didn't and I, I never knew what it was because like
I'm from New York where God forbid, you touch it, you can't
touch a kid, you can't even I can't even look at it the wrong
way in New York, Man, without the whole Community coming out

(40:35):
is what we move down to like thesmall town in Texas and you
know, and again those a paddle on the principal's desk but I
thought it was like a paperweight or something but was
like big-ass paperweight that nopapers underneath the do, but it
was on his desk. Now would most like he's really
into cricket and And so like when you hear kids talk about

(40:58):
that, if you got into a fight that was on automatic traveling,
light on like so I remember the first time I saw a kid, well we
didn't see a good kid, get paddled but this kid was going
to get paddled because he got into a fight these two kids and
the way that they did it was when everybody was in their
classes. For of the teachers because it

(41:22):
was I was in the sixth grade. So it's like for teachers that
would go into the hallway and they would tell these kids why
they're about to get paddled andyou can end.
This is what you heard and they would wait.
And then everyone like everyone in the classes are quiet.
It was almost like he was listening to an execution.

(41:45):
Like, it was like closed-circuitTV like oh man, they got him.
But and and so the first time I I saw I heard it, I was like oh
when you guys mean paddled you guys mean whips and then the
teacher my teacher came in with the paddle to.
She was doing that ministered itand she was a short lady.

(42:06):
So I guess she had like power. She was like I'm close to ask.
No Mike. I could just swing it like this
the taller teachers. Like I have to like kind of come
down at like a curve is like shewas and she came and she It's a
job, throws the paddle in there.Like she was just like, coming
off of, like, like by Patrol is just those are going to no

(42:26):
energy, drawing closes shit. And then she just okay, kill
class, open your textbooks, to chapter five, she's like Kirby,
pluck it, when he's using the designated hitter.
Salt, stole my head and mind you, we heard that six times
because it one kiggins hit. And then another kids and they
both and they come in one of them coming to our class like

(42:47):
rubbing his ass tearing up a plan.
How the fuck are you supposed tolearn after that?
You know, my name is effect, though.
Public school? Yes.
Catholic school, public school, public school, public in Canada,
in Canada, Canadians out. So you guys hit each other
hockey party. It was a little weed.
There were some, I mean I never got hit, but kids got hit by

(43:09):
their teachers and the school. Yeah, but I'm 41.
So I coming up in the 80s, early90s.
I think that was still a thing, most places.
Yeah, I mean I got paddled. It was I was II got paddle
twice. I guys, I had dreadlocks, I have
a lot of fights and I voted for something.
I'll paddle the first hit was like, yeah.
It's this. This is like, yeah, you're in

(43:31):
it. The second one was like.
That was the hardest. Like, that was like, it made you
tear up your in sixth grade. It's just like, I want my mom to
be with me and then like the third one was like, okay, we can
tell that you buy this bruise hap and then I walked in and I
sat down and I don't remember what I learned that day, because
all I thought about was the Do you know?

(43:51):
Yeah, I don't really like we both have kids in middle school.
Yeah. And I think two more some
stories I've heard and things I've seen, they should probably
be smacking some of those kids actually wildness going on but
now you can't touch a kid now. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.

(44:15):
I remember like, threatening to talk to call CPS, on my mom, And
she's like you're gonna do what?Like I don't know what I said
Mom I blacked out for a second. I'll give you something to calm
about it. Now that was that was telling,
you know, I'll give you something to cry about was
something that was said frequently at home when I was

(44:36):
like my favorite thing honestly.And I don't have children so I
thank you. But I mean, but I would never I
don't think I would ever hit my kids because I was never really
hit like my dad. He never.
Like punished us. He probably should have, we'd be
better children for it, but he'snever really hit us.
He's never really had his kids mom on the other hand.

(44:57):
Just batshit crazy. Oh, so just that shit nuts.
But but no, I mean, she had to, we were we were not easy kids,
you know? I mean but I kind of feel like
whenever I'm at a grocery store and I see a parent smacking the
shit out of her kid. I'm just like, yes, he back and
and anytime like a parent wants to intervene, I just want to be

(45:19):
like no. No, this needs to happen.
Okay? Don't know, you're not supposed
to hear me public about. You take that sausage and you
whack him over to face with it. Hey, like, no, no, this is how
he learns gets spanked by a package of bacon.
Like, don't be running around like there'll be kids like just

(45:40):
doing dumb stuff in my watch your kid.
Don't tell me to watch my kids for my, you're okay.
He's gonna, I'll be eat something he's allergic to.
Yeah, my mom was the kind of Momthat she wouldn't scream at us.
Her hit us in public. But she would grab you by your
arm like, like right here. Yeah, and squeeze.
So fucking hot. Squeeze squeeze so hard to get

(46:05):
this straight, but you don't even.
Go do it for, you know, Taylor, Irish, Irish Catholic woman and
yeah, get outside. And I was doing like a, like a A
demo kind of thing. And there was this lady who
brought she had like a seven year old daughter and it's a

(46:25):
like a five look like a five-year-old son.
And the son was kicking my table, like, knocking stuff off.
And I looked at the mom, and themom just was like oblivious to
what he was doing. So the sister went around and
she was like, stop it and he stopped for a second and he did
it again. And then so I probably said I

(46:46):
was like, Hey, scuse me young, man.
Can you please not kick my table?
You're knocking stuff off and, you know, I don't want you to
get anything spilled on you and the lady was like, what did you
say to my kid? No cheese.
I was like, oh, I was like no, Iwas asking him not to kick me.
Don't talk to my kid like that and I was like, like what?

(47:08):
I please tell me like a parent. What did I say wrong?
And she was like, you don't talkto other peoples kid like that
and I was like, oh my God, this bitch is crazy.
I was like out of all the peoplethat are standing here, the
seven One is the one raising 25 year old and you don't even know
what's goin on. She's like you don't talk to
other people's good like if you want to say something somebody's
kid, you talk to the parent and I was like so you did not see.

(47:30):
I'm just kicking my table just now and you were just like you
think that that's like the norm,like you see the stuff that I
had? Displayed just getting knocked
down. And so she got very upset with
me. So, I'm gonna talk to his
supervisor. I'm like, okay, go ahead.
I don't even work here, but I cannot go ahead but she was, she
got like really like she wanted to Like make it her first book,

(47:52):
hopefully Chopper the worst people on the planet anyway.
So I'm just like, I'm like, okay?
Like you are definitely expect. You're proving my point about
people like you that feel like you really need to be heard.
So she was like telling me this and I'm just like why I didn't
say anything bad to your kid. I just thought I'm not you think
I'm gonna risk ruining my reputation of just yelling at a

(48:13):
five-year. I know he's a kid but I talked
to him like I talk to him like an adult.
I called him. Sir, mr.
And all. And he was just good.
Good. And you're just that like I have
a nice, I watch my knees. If she does something that she's
not supposed to do, I tell her and then she stopped.
And then after the conversation but you apparently fit, I doubt

(48:34):
he has a dad. Like I'm like, I can see why
you're raising these kids by herself because I didn't see a
dad and you probably ran them out because of your mouth or
lack thereof Jamal. It's clear that Whole Foods.
Only sells to Karen's, obviously, I was gonna say she
probably I went home and gave him a participation ribbon to
you should have kicked it hard or you would have got a gold.

(48:56):
Eye goes practicing for like thehe's practicing for soccer or
something is just like kick but I don't know.
But it's like you remember thosedays where it used to take a
village, you know, now it's justlike, you can't The Village?
Can't even get involved anymore.Yeah.
I'm saying like you got to look out for your own kid and you got
to hope that your kids. Don't turn out to be a spaz like
that other kid because, you know, and of course, we blame

(49:17):
the parents but it's just like You know really other people's
kids they hadn't got the kids like Adderall like right.
I mean it's that's still figuring out the and idols and
shit ever want to get to that point where I'm just like okay
open wide. All right, go play I remember
there was a comic that was in the paper.

(49:39):
I don't know while back but it was at a thing where it's like
1955 or something and the kid comes home, and he got bad
grades and his parents are yelling at them and like
threatening them and then Thousand twenty in the kid comes
only as bad grades in the parents go and yell at the
teacher, like, what are you doing?
It's like, you're not babysitting my kid riding raised

(50:01):
him, right? And since we're talking about
like bad children, you know, that's I mean and I'm sure your
kids are just, you know, you guys seem like a very beginning
diamonds, man. Great.
I kind of feel like my opinion is.
There's and maybe I'm wrong. I'm waiting for some

(50:22):
psychologists to be like, hey, Isaw your podcast, by the way, I
liked it, but there's something I'm gonna poke holes in your
theory. I kind of feel like, like we I
look at a like how I kind of feel like parents are not there
enough for their kids and and not for nothing.
I don't think it's any really fault of the parents at all.
It's our work schedules. Hmm?

(50:44):
You know, like it is the parentsbosses that safed fault.
Well. That we could we could say that.
I mean it's easy for the parentsto quit and be like I'm going to
work for myself or do something else where I could spend more
time with my kids but it's like,have you guys like like
paternity leaves are not worth crap here in this country
compared to other countries, youknow?

(51:04):
So I kind of feel like whenever we hear about kids acting up and
kids you know, going through these emotional like temper
tantrums, it's just like well first of all, your mommies and
daddies are working eight hours a day and some Jamaican lady is
Raising you and you the pain Don't have a by the time they
get home, they're tired. They probably spent like a
couple hours with their kids, and then it's like it's like

(51:27):
this whole go. Go go, go go go, go go, go
thing. But meanwhile, like another
countries their paternity leaves.
It's like you get like a year off so you can have.
So your child could recognize your face, right?
You know, and sometimes with itsboth parents and it's sometimes
it's concurrent, sometimes it's consecutive but it's like, it
gives like these are the countries give the parents

(51:49):
enough. Oof time.
So they could raise their kids. So they're not being pieces of
shit. You know what I'm saying?
So I kind of feel like, you know, and then of course, you
look at our homicide rate like, our yearly homicide rate.
It's like when we think about other countries, just like, oh,
well, they don't have the freedoms that we have.
Hmm, I think I will trade some of my freedoms to be able to

(52:11):
live 20 years longer. You know, like I mean, like a
lot of are a lot of are like, and again, I'm gonna lose the
South for For this. But but I feel like a lot of our
like, amendments are completely outdated, like severely outdated
like the Constitutional Amendment.
Yes, severely outdated. Like, as far as right to bear

(52:34):
arms, I don't care about that, but you can't be like, hey,
right to bear arms. And you know, Screw the First
Amendment, you can't pick the sexy amendments and be like,
yeah, pick and choose, you know,and be like, this is great, but
we need to throw this out and overturn this and overturn that,
but it's like other countries. Sure.
Their taxes are higher but you know what they're happier
because you want to know why, ifthey stub their toe crossing the

(52:55):
street, they could go to the hospital and then not get a bill
later that go bankrupt, you know, I'm saying?
And they take care of you. So, so, in order to develop a
society of like, really, really,you know, commendable people,
you got to start with the children and we say, children
are bad Obi-Wan, but then it's the children, it's the parents.

(53:18):
And then it's the I was trying to find that time to, I mean,
yes, you have the weekends, but sometimes that's not even
enough. You know?
I'm saying, you gotta you gotta be there with your kids.
You gotta be there to mold theirminds, you know, because again,
we do, there's a thing called a terrible parent and kids pick up
on stuff really fast. You see, a man beating up on a
woman. These guys does the young child

(53:39):
think. Oh, that's done, or maybe that's
how you get a girlfriend, or a wife, or whatever, you know.
It's the things that they see ya.
So and again, you're not gonna always be able to Shield your
kids from like everything. Thing.
But you know if you put enough like if you give them enough
positive knowledge and whatnot for them to be at least a six,
you know, a decent human being at least, you know, II think

(54:00):
that's something that we have tolook.
I think we have to look at stufflike opportunity if they're
like. Okay.
We'll give you two months, two months off.
That will give you 40% of Reza. It's not 40 percent because I
don't play like 66 percent of your salary and it's like, oh, I
get two months, okay. My baby's eyes, will barely be
wide open but at least I'll be able to come back to work and
yeah, you know, it's better thango back to work after.
And on top of that, child care is expensive per month.

(54:24):
You taking your kids to a like adang like baby Mill, you know,
like what a bunch of other babies that you're hoping like a
boomerang throw you in this painwith hope you guys can get
older. You know, that they're not doing
like baby boxing matches and shit at the, at the daycare, our
first, our first fight club. Yeah exactly yeah we don't talk

(54:45):
about that. Yeah I mean with my son who's 20
T6 now, actually worked out. Well, got divorced from his mom,
when he was like 18 months old. So I was kind of forced into
that having him three times a week, right?
I had them every Tuesday, every Thursday, and then every other

(55:06):
weekend. So it forced me to be a better
parent, right? Because I was, you know, didn't
have somebody as I go tell your mom, you know, so, we did a ton
of stuff together, you know, museums and hanging out and
playing, and he's a smart kid. Is a smart kid and I'm proud of
them with my daughter, though. I had her later in life.
She's only 12. So I feel bad.

(55:27):
So, like, when my son was young,I was younger.
So I was able to get on the floor and play trains and play,
you know, GI Joes and say Star Wars figures, all that stuff.
My daughter came along, back hurts, man, I can't sit on the
floor. I'm not playing to all these
with, it's not because I don't love you.
It's because my back hurts, put a pillow right here for years.

(55:52):
You can't go anywhere and you know, sometimes we will she
likes it when I just like Uncle.I like it when you talk like a
girl and and I and I'm like, I get it because she's like, you
know, I guess she feels like I could relate now like well you
know she has like a little doll.So how does that sound drum?

(56:14):
All I don't know me. I can't I can't do it well, For
watching. I've got to say there's probably
a big portion of the population that likes it, when Jamal talks
like a girl. But but I do it and she hears
it. She she kind of Giggles goes.
It is funny to her but she, you know it's like yeah.
You gotta play with you. You gotta play with them, you

(56:36):
know. How old is she?
Yeah, you need. She's 88.
Okay. Yeah, and she.
She is very, very she's gonna probably never want for anything
when she gets older because she's just like like she knows
what she wants. Wants when she wants it.
And I try not to spoil her. I kind of, I kind of like Cole
back on some of the things. Like, no, you gotta know what
hunger feels like, even though I'm not supposed to, like,

(57:00):
really do that. Like, I want to know what being
poor feels like. Give me your money experience.
Lack. Like a Twizzler.
Overhead of like this. Grab that brass ring, but she's
like, do we have to eat ramen again?
Uncle this time, we'll put waterin it.
Crunchy. Yeah, with my daughter it's like

(57:23):
I bring home Hot Cheetos, right?She's like, oh, like what's
wrong? Kind of wanted to talk to you.
So is there really a difference of my dad?
He brought he brought like a bagof everything.
Bagels, because my daughter, my daughter, my niece, she was
like, I was absolutely want to eat.

(57:44):
She was like, I want, I want to come on a bagel with cream
cheese, and I don't care. I can get you that.
That and she's like I want a plain bagel with cream cheese
and I'm like, okay, that's specific.
But okay, clucking is your plainbagel cream cheese.
But then like minutes after the conversation with that walks in
with these everything bagels andI'm like oh you brought Bagels.
Okay. And we already have cream cheese
here so I'm like, we don't have to go out.

(58:07):
She was like No And I'm like butbut we have bagels and she looks
at the bagels that you kind of like rubs her hands over the,
everything part seeds everywhere.
Stuff inside of his foot plain bagel and I'm like, all right I
did say I was gonna get you a plain bagel and whatever.

(58:28):
I thought you want to try the everything bagel first, just a
basic you like it. She's like, no, I don't like the
only reason cheese, pizza existsin the world is because of kids
and cheese pizza. I've never met an adult that
wants. Plain cheese pizza, my roommate,
she's vegetarian. So the only pizzas She'll eat

(58:50):
his cheese but she's an adult. She isn't there.
Like she's like my age Tomatoes or spinach or nothing on there.
Hmm. Hey yourself.
It was talking about. I'm related to that.
I was like yeah, we have that inmy house.
It was like he took out the window.
It's fend for yourself. Right.
And I remember my mom, who's like, so, you know, order out or

(59:12):
somebody but Pizza. Yeah, it's like pizza.
Here you go. There's a pizza eat.
Shut up. Pizza puts you in a coma.
So I go to Even I could have notgrown up, Friday's was leftover
Fridays, and it was mom, not a great cook, rest her soul, but
she would make, you know four orfive distinct different meals

(59:33):
from Sunday to Thursday, right? And then Ed Friday night was all
the leftover pile on a plate andyou're like, hmm, I guess is the
weirdest-looking a low-fiber say?
Yeah, I can fry you an egg and put it on top.
This is why people have like problems with like

(59:53):
cross-contamination. When it comes to that they don't
want that. I have a friend of mine, Shannon
if you're watching. Hi, she doesn't like having food
touch on her plate. She has those remember those
trays we had in school with the borders?
I mean, I showed you. I showed her that.
You can buy those on Amazon and I don't know if she ever bottom

(01:00:14):
or not, but I actually got up that said of them because I
thought they were fucking cool. But yeah, she Should put them in
little individual things and they would never touch.
I think, you know, they end up in the same spot, your stomach,
right? They're not separated in your
stomach, this is like shut up. That's the way it goes down.
Yeah, full of sugar. Yeah, yeah man.

(01:00:35):
What about? What about your kid, man?
Any both of your kids and he quirkiness.
Well, I don't know. Like Arrow.
My eleven-year-old goes to the same middle school here today.
Yeah. Is he up today?
And The food, I'm not very good with food diversity.
Thank God, Arrow rolls with it like, every night at my house.

(01:00:56):
I cook steak and put like, brussels sprouts in the oven and
it's - I'm here because I'm wearing headphones.
Arrow bow, no other child's Nevaeh Nevaeh.
A narrow narrow would be hilarious as kid names.
Yeah, I would, it would stake and Brussels steak and sprouts

(01:01:19):
and you do this A little bacon bits, little little salt, little
olive oil, just put em in the oven, roast them up, but it's
pretty simple every now and thenI'll try chicken and doesn't
work right, but I'm not very good.
Like I provide the basics, the basics, are you get your protein
you guys your days? Your stuff, a little mashed
potatoes. Yeah, but with parenting a, I

(01:01:39):
don't know with 11 and then my other daughter is 16, I've hit
this point where I think no matter what I do Society is
raising my kid more than I am. At this point, like the friend
groups, the school groups, the things they want to do.
Like that is more of how they'relearning to engage the world
than especially what I'm doing man.
Yeah I mean you got both pretty good right there 19 and teenager

(01:02:03):
mines. Preteen going to be a teenager
this year. It is just crazy.
Yeah, absolutely not dude, I hear this is a so I heard this
story at Nelson Middle School where our kids go to school,
there was a kid that was there. That was like, giving Like, six
and seventh graders. Given him gummies candy and then

(01:02:23):
it was like, edible, like pot gummy, they really, yeah, they
weren't telling the kids. What happened to don't take
candy from strangers? Yeah seriously someone's giving
away gummies right? Yeah, Nelson Middle School.
You can I was like whoa. Every time I hear like you know,
pretty intense people saying that you know, don't don't take

(01:02:45):
these kinds of candies during Halloween see who's giving away
pot can Andy two kids, that's awful people.
I was gonna say like, let's see if in a way that I can't even
like my favorite kind of people,no one's giving away those
things. Those things are expensive as
fuck me on that but that's the thing like an intense High to
look. If I somebody gave me an edible

(01:03:06):
and I didn't know it was a strong one, I wouldn't really
know what it was like there's something wrong with that gummy.
I feel everything but I would bevery confused and Change by day
drastically. When I was when I was living
here anytime that I would get like a cookie or brownie.
I always ask. Is this a brownie brownie?

(01:03:30):
Yeah. You know, just got funny butter.
We did have this funny thing. So I used to live in Tacoma and
I would host poker games in my garage and I lived there and
they got pretty big we'd like two tables and I was married at
the time and my father-in-law wanted to come play.
And so he came and another guy that played was this dude that
like sold pot like he made pot. And so Old it legally, and he

(01:03:50):
brought cookies, and these really strong weed cookies and
my father-in-law 81, not knowingwhat they were Tony.
Yeah. Yeah.
Antonis. Like a manly man military, a
special ops guy Ops guy. And so were sitting there
playing and all of a sudden, he just stands up walks into the
living room. Boom, on the couch asleep.

(01:04:13):
Oh, boom. I was like, whoa, well, Tony Go.
Well, I'll show at a weed dispensary in Manhattan and I
there was selling snacks and I they had like cookies for like a
dollar like you know, nothing toyou know, it price-wise

(01:04:34):
extraordinary. But those like what I Comics was
buying their cookie. He was like, hey still reading
this and I was like, dude, look at the price of this cookie.
Do you think that they would sell a cookie?
He at this price and then just wasted on a week, looking for a
dollar. Like, there's no way, you know,

(01:04:56):
like, if this cookie was like, Idon't know, 10 bucks and you
wouldn't even have to ask the question.
So, so when we became legal in Washington state there, when I
was living in North Kitsap. So, like right next to the
Albertson's that I would shop atwas a little weed store.
So when the when it open I thinkI waited like a week or two

(01:05:18):
actually, I think it was my birthday.
You can't that I went down therethe, you know, I'm gonna go in
there and see what I can find because I've never done.
Well, at that time, I had remembered that I'd done any
kind of Edibles before. But so I bought a little 8 oz
Cherry Cola those ecola. Ya ta C, infused Cola.

(01:05:40):
And then I then I asked for the the the smallest amount possible
because I'm a complete lightweight when it comes to
Anything like alcohol. I'll have like a shot.
Maybe two and then I'm good for the rest of the evening.
Wow, so so she goes, okay, Walt he goes, you can get this or

(01:06:03):
these and he was two cookies, the size of like Chips Ahoy
cookies or they're like this biglike half dollar size and it
goes, eat half or drink, half, wait, 30 minutes.
And then, you know, if you feel something, When you know, eat
the rest later or whatever, you know, I'm ADHD so my time

(01:06:25):
management isn't great. So what I found was 30 minutes
was like 10 and it's like it's not I don't feel anything, I
don't feel anything. And as soon as I drank the last
of the eight ounce Cola, that's what it kicked in.
And like, for like I think threehours.

(01:06:47):
I felt like I was a Jello mold Icould feel Every piece of fat in
my body just kind of like shifting in my body wasn't
pleasant, or was it like unpleasant?
It was it was, it was unsettling.
I mean, it was like it didn't itdidn't freak me out as much as
it was just like I don't know ifI like this but it was like

(01:07:08):
seriously though. Like whenever you moved you
don't necessarily notice all themuscle movements but I felt
every piece of fat in my body, shifting anytime, I move too
slow. Like I'd move and then I was
like and I'm a God that no, I don't like that.
And so I had those, I had those cookies for like six months

(01:07:32):
before I touched it again. I just think, you know what, I'm
gonna probably take a nap anyhowall eat this cookie and lie down
and watch something on Netflix or whatever.
I'm just passed out and that's kind of what ended up doing and
I've never had, I have not had edible since then whether it be
It drinks or food? I like them for flights.

(01:07:53):
Like if I'm on a long flight? No, you should just like I
recently. I recently got like a briefing
from this case for saying, that the first time I did LSD with my
brother weekend of Memorial Day.Weekend, family, reunions

(01:08:15):
weekend. Oh jeez.
My brother comes in and he's like, hey, we should do.
I've never done it, but if it's anything that I've seen in the
movies, yes, I do. We just terrible.
He was like, we should do LSD and go into the City Manhattan
because I'm talking about this. And the first thought in my head

(01:08:36):
was like, oh cool, no, there's no way.
I'm like, first of all, that is a huge problem.
It seems like the worst place systems before Jesus to do LSD.
Yeah. But the Manhattan anywhere.
In Manhattan, is the way I mean,unless you're probably like by
the Hudson River, Walk another pet, no, no, no, no.

(01:08:56):
So I was like, so here's a better idea, we do LSD and we go
to Coney Island, which is like, like the boardwalk.
Okay. It's like a beach and
everything, and it's pretty spread out.
So then that way, because everybody else there is on
drugs, too. No, I'm saying everybody else is
high on weed or whatever, but ifyou'd, if you see like a gang of

(01:09:17):
people walking by there on something, Yeah, but they're not
there to like mess with you or anything like that, because if
they see that you're hides were just like, oh yeah.
He's cool. You know, I'm saying, we're on
the same wavelength. We don't wanna mess with each
other. Yeah, I but I'm like, let's do
that because it's spread out. So my brother just says, open
your mouth and he goes like, mmm.
Then we hop on the train. We get back, we get there and

(01:09:40):
we're walking on the boardwalk and my dad.
And I noticed that the wood panels on the boardwalk was
like, going like this, and he was like, do you feel anything
yet? I'm like, I think so.
I think so. And I'm like, you know what, I'm
in a much better mood now and I'm like, isn't this better?
Like you can see the water and you can see every Speck of sand

(01:10:02):
being blown, you know. And I'm like, this isn't this
better than going into Manhattan.
Then we, it was, and I felt like, it was great, like, it was
great, but the high lasted, a lot longer than it was supposed
to. Because we walked, we went home,
I took a shower and then we walked seven miles.

(01:10:24):
Oh, throughout the city going nowhere.
I would imagine if I was too quick to take LSD or shrooms
everything and be in New York. I would I would feel like he
would I would be seeing likes. It's from Ghostbusters.
As I'm walking through town fucking just goes randomly
popping out between, you know, doorways and shit.

(01:10:47):
I found a mushroom chocolate mushrooms that I had for three
months that I forgot. I was cleaning out my freezer
and I founded, and I was like, oh crap, I forgot I had this at
I put it in a refrigerator. Oh, like its It's like a little

(01:11:08):
bag in its it of a heart and then my knee started coming
around. Oh, I was like, oh and she likes
to go to the refrigerator truck as if she bought groceries or
something. But uh my hand I'm gonna go.
Make sure that all the money that I all the groceries that I
put in here. Like, I'm gonna go make me a
sandwich or whatever and like, like if you want something, we
go to anyway and I was like, oh crap, I gotta go, like, hide it

(01:11:29):
because I didn't wanted to get at it and I had shingles like a
while back and I was just Pain. And I was like, you know what?
See if this helps I was halfway through, Bowling for Columbine.
Okay. I was just home.

(01:11:50):
Not a good movie to watch when you're on shrooms.
Oh my God. It's not.
I'm sorry if it is a terrible. Masochism experience sounds
awful. Every interview that they were
doing. I felt like I was conducting it
like, how did you really feel like?
Yeah, and I was like, get that fact.
Doubt away during Canada and I'mjust like.

(01:12:12):
So how much would it cost for you to get to get looked at
another hospital? And I feel like I was the one
asking what's the director that movie?
Michael Moore Monday morning? Did you guys ever see the South
Park episode where they made funof Michael Moore?
But I do know he was just like this really, really obese care
of it. We talked it was and it was the

(01:12:33):
reason why they did is because of that documentary he asked for
Yeah, he has met entry to do it like an animation thing for the
movie. They said, no, well, they they
did a animation anyway and just kind of made it look like it was
South Park even though it wasn't, it was?
Oh, yeah, that yeah. That's the part that I yeah.

(01:12:56):
It's your shingles. Yeah.
Single trying to like ease the pain and then I watched that
movie. I watched a mosquito Coast like
the Harrow Harrison, Ford movie a river and then I watch Grudge
Match. And when you're on shrooms and
you're watching Sylvester, Stallone and Robert De Niro box,
they look older than they look at that almost look like a bum.

(01:13:17):
He's punching each other. Oh my good.
Oh, it was just like, oh my God.So blessed.
I just watched Cobra. The other night.
Oh my god. Did you?
It's a terrible. - yeah, I wiii AB suprise.

(01:13:41):
I was able to wipe like it was on one of those streaming
devices but before that you haveto pay to watch it.
I'm like first of all the RottenTomatoes, don't do it, any
favors and I have a rule if it'sunder like way under I under 30
I'm like you want me to pay fivedollars for my son to be.
I think that where you found it I'll endure the same 30 second

(01:14:11):
advertisement, every five minutes to watch that movie,
right? Today's the worst about like
free streaming services, it's the same 30-second commercial
every 10 minutes, but I love thefact that they say, the
commercials keep it free, it also makes my head.
Sometimes I think the reason whythey do that is so you pay the

(01:14:35):
extra five dollars, so you can get the screaming without the
ads. Because I mean, I went through
that when I was watching how I met your, your Was it How I Met
Your Mother? The name of the show?
Yeah. The original show.
Yeah it was the same 30-second ad every 10 minutes and I was
watching the whole series and solike 26 episodes every 10

(01:14:59):
minutes the same Viagra commercial or what can tampons
finally like fuck out of pine Viagra.
You know it was like women hygiene products and boner pills
you know it was just like this is what people who watch How I
Met Your Mother really Levi saysa lot about their, their, their

(01:15:19):
Target demographic. So well guys, this has been a
ton of fun but our time limit has come to us because this is a
working theater. There is stuff going on this
