(00:00):
Hey everybody, Erica Reddick, Generally Irritable here with Mr.
Alex Stein. Pimp on a blimp eating steak and shrimp.
The one and only pimp on a blimp. Okay, here's what I want you to do.
I want you to show the crowd your juicy booty.
Oh, right here. This is how we do it. The juicy booty. Look at that.
Look at that booty. Juicy booty. Look at that booty.

(00:21):
Look at that. I love big booty Latinas. Big booty Latinas for life.
This is what I'm saying. That was one of the funniest things when I saw her,
the reaction video. and she messed up what you said, but what she said was actually-
I know, it's way better. And you know what's funny?
People are like, do you hate AOC? No, because she made so many videos talking about me.
I'm so thankful to you, Sandy Cortez. I love you. How many subscribers did you get?

(00:46):
Actually, you know, it's funny. I think that next day I gained over 100,000.
I'm not kidding. 100,000. Oh my God, are you serious? I swear,
it was like in 48 hours, over 100,000.
I think I was at, because I think I was over 100 at the time or like right at
it. And then I was like a 200, like boom.
Yes. So thank you, Sandy Cortez. Okay, so now here's my question.

(01:06):
Now you kind of became famous because you were...
Bombing like city council meetings and
stuff like that so can you still get away with
doing stuff like that now that you're like super famous well
it's not even that i'm famous but no you are right because like now we just
spoke at richardson city council and they turn off my camera so like some cities
they have like little tricks that they try to do okay but honestly i can still

(01:30):
do what i do because the first amendment protects me like they know i'm coming
but as long as i bring the heat but this is the other problem is the reason
why the videos do so well is people think they're real But now that I'm recognizable,
what I'm saying is now that I'm recognizable, people know it's satire.
So I've been using Tiny, a guy on my show.
He just went super viral saying that he doesn't want to limit transgenders in
women's sports because we can bet on him.

(01:51):
So my point is I've been writing speeches for other people and they've been going viral now.
So anybody wants to be a pimp on a blimp? I want to be a pimp on a blimp.
It's $10. I can teach you how to go to the city council. It's only $10.
Hold on. I'll take Venmo. I take PayPal. PayPal, it's Excel.
Do you want to be a pimp on a blimp? Okay. I want to be a pimp on a blimp.

(02:12):
Wait, do I have, I got a 20. Yeah, well, I don't have change.
So I'm going to keep this. I'm taking this. This is mine.
Oh gosh almighty. I'll take it. No. So this is all you have to do. Okay.
Is first of all, the most important thing is to mock these politicians because
all these politicians mock us. Cause no, I'm not kidding Erica. It's so true.
Well, I spoke seriously to city council meetings that people do all the time. They just laugh at you.

(02:33):
But once you lampoon them, then all of a sudden their ego gets involved and
they're like, Like, what, what, what? So I'll give you that for free. I'll give you a refund.
You're so sweet. Oh, my God. $3.99. You're getting the game for free.
I got it. I got it all, you guys. Okay, so it's MindsFest. So they bring in
liberals and conservatives.
Well, you know, Destiny is my arch nemesis who's on stage now.

(02:55):
He's like, he makes sure that him and I aren't on the same panel.
And I've been trying to be friendly with him, but, you know,
Destiny, you know who that is. I do. But why is he your arch nemesis?
Well, because his wife, he was in an open marriage. Right. He would let other
guys sleep with his wife.
And I used to tease him about that. We did a debate on what was more degenerate.
The fact that I called AOC a big booty Latina, the fact that he's an open marriage.
And I just crushed him. I called him. That's a kind of an obvious answer, though. Yes, it is.

(03:19):
And his chat was giving him L's. So, like, he doesn't want to debate me anymore.
But really, I don't have any beef.
Because, listen, even though I'm more conservative, I understand people's,
like, viewpoints. I think we should have different viewpoints,
you know? So I don't look at somebody as, like, oh, they're liberal. I hate them.
That's the dumbest thing. It's like, let's just have different ideas and express
our ideas and see where we can meet in the middle. And I once was a liberal.

(03:40):
Yeah, everybody was, right? You're raised to be a liberal, basically,
if you go to school. You're like default liberal, especially I grew up in Vermont.
I don't know if you're familiar with Vermont at all. Ben and Jerry's are the
most liberal people in the world.
Yeah, you know, Bernie Sanders, although he's not a Vermonter,
we do not claim him, just for the record.
Very liberal, though. So you grew up a default liberal. And then life just like, just.

(04:01):
Yeah. And then you pay taxes and you do stuff and you realize that it's all,
all the stuff they say is bullshit.
It really is. I'm telling you, my taxes, I just paid my quarterly taxes. I'm sick.
I'm sick. It's just annoying. I mean, I don't even get anything for these taxes.
And listen, this is a non-conservative viewpoint.
I believe we need to have medical caps or socialized medicine or something to make it affordable.

(04:23):
I'm just saying something to make a family that has kids that go to a hospital
not worrying about going bankrupt because their kid breaks their arm.
Yeah. I mean, clearly people are taking Ubers to hospitals instead of ambulances
because they're worried about the cost.
So it's just ridiculous. I mean, that's outrageous. We've got to make things
affordable. Absolutely. We need to make things more accessible. school.
And so what would you say, if you could say anything to the people watching,

(04:45):
you know, thinking about MindsFest, like what would you say to them about like
talking to people of the opposite viewpoint?
This is what I would say. I would say be unapologetically yourself,
you know, just be yourself.
Don't try to like capitulate, but also be empathetic too, you know,
because this is the thing is perspective.
Like if I drew a six right now, it'd look like a nine to you.

(05:05):
So even though we're looking at the same thing, two different people can have
two different perspective.
So just try to be empathetic to other people, but also just be unapologetically yourself.
Don't apologize for having your viewpoints. I think that's the most important thing. Amen.
Thank you, sir. Thank you. I appreciate that. We love it. Let's super pimp on the plan.
Music.
