Like, oh this family guy over here now. But before,
back in the day, when you were young, single, ready
to mingle, you know, you were like I remember the
first time I heard you do the hey, hey, we're
really like stunned me or something where I was like
it was it was around twenty eighteen. We were in
the Renal airport and you told some girl hey, and
she actually stops you. Hey, she stopped and started talking
(01:54):
to you.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it was very effective. I could really get people
into conversation and like that. And sometimes I can say
it in such a way the hey that they think
that they know me. I've had that before. Where this
girl was she was at Damn Prop. She started talking
to me and talking to me, told me about how
she was on the prices. Right. She just kept talking
to me and talking to me, and we're walking. She
(02:16):
shows me, she walks outside, she shows me the car
she won and the price is right, and talking to
me said it was a lot of taxes, but it's
worth it talking talking to me, and then she said,
by the way, how where did we meet? I said, well,
we just met five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And you're like, and I'm I'm young, single, ready to
mingle it for you baby. The price is right. Hey, yeah,
what's the thing you tell on stage about all the hayes.
I love it how it rhymes, all those rhymes you say.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Say, fella, it's ever seen a beautiful woman? And you
start to say hey, but she says, nay, now get
away with me. You will not lay. I got pepper spray.
It still burs to this day. Dating is riscue.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
If she's Latina, and she'll say, oh delay o de la,
you can throw that in there.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
She's Latina, she says, ola lay That means all right,
all right, oh o de lay Okay, I should know
that because my wife's Lautina.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But oh yeah, ask her. I think it be. It
might be a Mexican in California West Coast slang. But yeah,
because you know you could do the uh all right,
all right, all right, Oh to lay o to lay.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Olay oh to layo to layo de lay.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Because it means all right, all right, a right, all right,
oh layo de lay delay that's funny. The hey that's
uh was it was. It was it a trip going
from being like the single, like you know guy that
was just constantly like, seems like you're back in the day.
Your life force was to wake up and just meet
girls like I never You're one of the top guys
(03:43):
that I know that were He loved meeting new people.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, I like two new people. Man. It was fun,
especially when it was around so then but then when
I met my girl. But then when I met my
girl now my wife, you know, when I met her,
it was like, oh, shoot, she's like serious. You know,
all these other girls are very serious. You didn't have
to take them real serious. So but then I met
her a little more so. But I had fun, man,
(04:08):
it was fun practice. Especially living in LA I always
had flyers to my shows, had something to promote, had
something to talk about, something to do.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So I find with what's great about it now? And
I've seen I've seen you grow as a man like
you You've gone from hey, let's go around, and I
got it and it's everywhere you go. It was almost like, dude,
focus on your career. Man, Dude, now you're you've been
rock solid, like, Okay, I got to exercise this time.
I gotta make my flyers at this time. I gotta.
And I love to see that in you, Brian. I
(04:38):
know I started noticing it probably back when you first
met your lady, back when you guys were just newly
dating and stuff. And it's uh, and I can only
imagine now with the family, how you're just like you
know what I mean, You're you're you're really driven and
plus you you know, you keep yourself busy with like
your wrestling conferences or wrestling competitions, and you got to
keep your diet right, your exercise right, your fitness health right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Man, well that's true because getting back into wrestling, it
puts the discipline in you, and it puts a little
fear in you because you know your opponents are. It
puts fear into you because your opponents are so tough.
And uh. Then with course with my wife, then I
had like a solid uh.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Meal for comedy. You could be like she's even tougher.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah she is, but not really nice.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Go for your jokes you could be, but my wrestling
punk are so tough, then my home life is even tougher.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Okay, yeah that's good. That's good. So then with her,
you know, it just kind of it kind of helps too,
because like I get to eat healthy and because she's
an awesome cook. Dude, oh man, And uh so yeah,
I'm more focused and I'm like, dude, I got to
get all this stuff done.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And I'm just so glad that single life is done.
I mean, I remember you used to tell me these
crazy stories of like being on these dating apps and
the crop that you you know, because you're you're not
the kind of guy that's my old manner and holds
back your opinion.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, well, you know it was fun. It all worked
out perfect timing, right, because I look at it like, man,
if one thing would have went run, I mean, you
think about how I met my wife. Man, that was
all perfect timing, you know, And that's how I say,
I say, man, you got meet a lot of the
wrong ones to get to the right one. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it might be on a delay, but.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You'll get there someday someplace.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
She's from Hoduras, but she's here to.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Day with me. She likes to play.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay on delay, she said, no way, Jose, I got
a Brian swine hard up in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, now, okay, we were reaching b Well we tried.
That was a good run. That was a good pun run,
a good pun run.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So tell us about those dating back in the days
with the dating app, some of those crazy adventures and
try to turn your body a little bit this way
so we can get you on this mic. Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So that yeah, Well, because you know, in La, it's
like people are so like, I don't know that weird, dude,
They're like compared to it like anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
LA, They're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, they're crazy. They're so technology type of a place.
I mean, you think about it. If you ever drive
in from somewhere else and you're on a road for
a while and then you get to La, like you
can start feeling like the energy, like how technology has
its grip around that place. So a lot of people
there don't believe in God because dude, technology has won
(07:24):
over and over there.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So anyways, it's funny you say that hold that thought,
You got the thought that you're holding. Sure, yeah, okay,
I'm not very confident in that answer, but Brian, my
buddy Steve Simone. He came back to the Comedy Store
for a big fiftieth anniversary and he was sitting on
the wall. And he had left La right after like
(07:46):
the you know, the BLM riots and all that craziness,
the Summer of Love as they call it, and it
was just shut down in riots and it was awful,
it was terrible. And he moved to Florida. And I
saw him at the Comedy Store parking lot in April
twenty twenty one, and he was sitting on the wall
and he was just observing the crowd and I go,
I go, what you thinking, man, And he goes, it
just feels godless right here right now, like like he met,
(08:08):
like the whole city. He didn't mean, like the comedians
he met, like just the vibe of it. He goes,
I felt the same way when I went to China.
They don't believe in Jesus Christ, they don't believe in God.
They just because I felt that same, that lack of
that lack in China, and I feel it here and
was told at that time, now things have gotten better,
But at that I know exactly what it meant. It was.
It was like a dystopia. It was a weird, like
(08:28):
you're seeing wood, you know, blocking windows, and stores that
were shuttered and businesses that were gone and lights that
used to be on were gone. But there was also
like construction, which is weird, but there was construction going
on at that time, so things were being built up.
But there's there was no lights on at night, and
it just looked crazy. It looks so weird. And uh
and it's interesting that you brought that up. Continue with
(08:52):
your story.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, yeah, because that's that's what happened to it. So
so I knew I would forget my story. Okay, technology
and dating, Oh yeah, so then so yeah, so it's
kind of like you said, God, like there's like God's
more likely to be in nature places like that La.
The people are just it's too much, you know, so anyways,
(09:14):
but so it's not a place where you know, people
are tough there too, like and and everybody is going
for a dream or a goal or ambition. You'll never
well never say never, but it's very unlikely that you're
going to meet somebody who's going to ever say I
moved to La to start a family. No, no, you're not.
(09:37):
I'm here to become famous. I'm here to be a
star on a show. I'm here to get my name
in lights. I'm here to be somebody special.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's what I love about it. That was funny when
you first said no. Nobody's like, when'd you come to
La Fort start a family? Yeah, it happens when you're there.
But what I love about what I love about La
is the people that are like driven to do something
more than what they could have been if they just stayed.
And you know what I mean. Like, for example, I
was at the park a few days ago and our
(10:12):
buddy Kevin Alderman was there. He goes, hey, I'm here
right now, and I just got done. Here's my day.
I had a set that night at the Comedy Store
in the main room, which was fantastic. But earlier in
that day I did a writing session with Fraser Smith,
who's back on their back on the radio Kalos. So
we're at the you know, at the steakhouse, and we're
riding and I'm walking back because I like to get
my little walks in my exercise and Kevin goes, hey,
(10:33):
I'm at the park right now, and I go, no, way,
I go, Hey, I'll meet you there. So I get
there and as I as I walk. As I get there,
he was talking to two guys because he's a very
he's a very outgoing. He's more outgoing than I am.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I see people working at the park, I'm like, let
them do their thing. He's like, I think it's because
he was a Navy brack growing up, moving around a lot.
He's like, hey, brother, and he just like starts talking
to people, shaking their hand and all stuff. I don't know. See,
That's what I'm saying. He's got that driving him. He's like,
you know, anyway, So he introduced me to two guys.
One was a really tall guy that was an actor.
Another guy was a Tom Cruise lookalike. Who's there who
(11:04):
came to He had to smile and it's funny. The
first thing I noticed about him was we shook hands
and he looked me right in the eye and we
were talking for a little bit, and then he said
he's an actor but also a stunt man, and his
goal is to be he wants to be an action star.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's like, okay, I like that about it too, because
people take chances. Like when I used to work on sets,
you know, and I'd be a sales on an extra job.
I love talking to the other actors. Man. Everybody had
a goal. Every had but I had an ambition. Everybody
had something like that. But my point is that when
when you're a single person in that atmosphere, there's.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Not like.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You're not meeting a lot of people who are like, Oh,
I just want to have a family or the simple
life's good for me. And when you're looking for somebody
for a little bit of a longer term situation. You know,
the starlets who are trying to be the next Marilyn
Monroe are great for about six to eight weeks. But
(12:05):
they're not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh I thought you're gonna say years, and I thought
that was harsh.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
They're good for about six to eight years. You're like weeks.
Some people would say days, but I would say weeks.
They're good for like a couple of weeks of your
life that you're letting pass by. But there's a certain
time to jump on and off the train. And if
you stay on any of those trains too long, you're
going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So you're saying if you're looking for something more than
acting comedy. You're saying, if you want to get like
the part of your life, like a family.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, because who's more famous? Right? People are always in LA
are really concerned with fame. But ultimately who's more famous,
you know, the people who out there selling out big venues? Yeah? Maybe,
but if you have a family, you're technically you'll end
up being more you know, you're making a bigger impact.
You're kind of more famous in that little group of
people eyes, right, because like there could be the biggest
(13:03):
star in the world. Right, and I could love Like
I loved Tom Petty, dude, loved that guy's music, but
I missed I missed his last concert. I feel bad
about that. But as great of an influence that Tom Petty, Like,
who means more than me my family or Tom Petty?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And I think that I see that a lot with
in my opinion in the business is people are so
worried about the fame stuff that they wanted. They think
that they can't They think they can't have both, partly
I think fame and family, or they will pick fame
(13:37):
over family to some agree. So in LA, I mean
just because it's such a prevalent thing there. It made
it made meeting people kind of like I thought hard
like it was easy to meet people and like get
your six to eight weekers in, but something more like
more than that. I don't think LA was.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A good you're saying you sort of look at some
of the older comedians that are always been single, always
been Baucheler's, and you're like, I don't know if I
want that for my life.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, not exactly. Not that I don't mind it. It's
fun and I could have I could have probably ended
up like that too, and not knowing I was missing anything, right,
So you know, it's all just chance. I mean, if
I wanted to meet the care if I want to
meet me my mia more, then it would just be
I could have just stayed, you know, if I didn't
(14:27):
ever leave LA, I would possibly still be like that,
still doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
But I do hear some of these dating horror stories
from guys, like, you know, a buddy of mine, he
said that this woman was supposed to meet him. They
met on some dating app and he's waiting at the
coffee shop at seven and now seven twenty and she's
still not there, and then she finally texted him and said, sorry,
I'm in the back of a car. My friend is
in labor and we're on our way to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We had a great excuse. Yeah, exactly the way that's happening.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, dude, Oh really, that's that's it. I mean, really,
that's in labor and that's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Have you ever had women come up with excuses for
you on these dating apps back in the day?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh yeah, Well, I mean I used to get kicked
off of them because I would get pretty pretty crazy
with some of them, Like you know, this one girl
was bragging to me about how she took the vaccine. Well,
I got kicked off a hinge because I called her
a sheep. So so she kick you.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She kicked you off the next day.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, the next day I was blocked. I figured it
must be from that conversation. I mean, who knows it
could have been from but I'm pretty sure she was
fired up, you know. And that's back when there was
good guys and bad guys, and if you said something
like I said, then you were a bad guy, and
you know, you should be tard and feathered. And you know,
five years later I was right, But uh, you know,
(15:50):
no apology needed, because I'm sure nobody will give me one,
but kind of hurt being an outcast at that period
of time. And it kind of hurts now when you
see people flipping and hopping on it and uh, you know,
capitalizing on something you said and five years ago and
got slammed for, and now five years later it's true.
(16:11):
And uh, you're watching the bandwagon jumpers. Now they should
have jumped bandwagon five years ago when it was, you know,
time to do the courageous thing. But now they're gonna
wait and capitalize on it. Punks, you should tell you
should tell your wife. Man, I want to go back
on hints, just to go find that bitch like you
(16:34):
sit right next to me. They're gonna put up pictures
of me happily married. Who won now? Man? Exactly? I
thought about that. I thought about that. I thought about that. Dude.
I'm like, I'm like, man, some of these losers I
used to date, right and now I'm like, who won? Now? Bitch?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Make that your profile picture of your wife and your baby?
Who just want to know? I want?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I want? I want, I want.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
A who's wwiping right on me? Now?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I don't even know which way you stripe.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Have you ever tried farmers only dot com?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, I didn't try farmers only dot com, but I
know some people who've met on farmers only dot com,
so it does work.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I heard you got to plow right, that's where the
hoes are. It's so silly, yeah, because I remember we did.
You and I did a podcast about hinge and you
told me you had the text and you were reading
it back and forth, and I think we actually called
that episode unhinged.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, you still got that because I don't remember what
was on here at that It's.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Somewhere in the archives. You guys go back and look
for it and I don't know where it's at, but
that was there.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, how don't you remember what that one was?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's fine. I got to bring something up.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You said something about God and stuff. And you know,
there's this book that I love. This book. It's called
Trusting God Day by Day, three hundred and sixty five
Daily Devotions. Now it's great for someone like me.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Ady d Adhd.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I bought a Bible and I said, let me buy
a Bible that I can totally understand, you know, like
one that's like I think it's called the I forget
the name.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Of it is made in drawings instead of words.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh dude, yeah, come closer.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Than Yeah, it's called drawings instead of words.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I know, stick figures, you know in the beginning. No,
it's I think it's like the New Living Bible. It's real.
It's a lot easier because I grew up with the
King James, and I'm like, I want to understand this,
Like even when they talk about something like you know that,
like I heard the other day on the radio they
were talking about like when Sault, when Paul changes Saul
changed his name to Paul, And I'm like, why don't
I know this story? Why? Just there's so many these
little stories that you kind of know, you kind of
(18:28):
don't know. And I said, let me look into it.
And I got to be honest. Even that book is
like I'm not gonna say it's hard to understand, but
it's like I'm like, eh.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's hard. I'm like, it was ancient names all the
this guy married this girl, they had this many kids,
but this is their names, and this is their names.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And Ecclesiastes and this. Yeah, okay, so I said, let me,
let me, let me dumb it down. Let me get
let me so we actually my son has a couple
of children's Bibles. I'm like, let me just.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That's a good start.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
It is a good start, I swear, because it's like, okay,
there's the back speaking of drawing, there's pictures. I'm like, yeah,
but but beyond But besides that, I love this book.
It's a devotional dude, this is perfect. It's like one
it's one page like for you know, you just pick it,
you pick a day and it has like a Bible verse.
Then the author has a little description and it's great.
It's easy to understand. And then like a little thing
at the end, and I said, let me, let me
(19:13):
look up this one. So this is right before our trip.
It says confidence if this is for that date, confidence,
no more pretending. And this is from Ephesians, which sounds
like it's going to be boring and hard, but it's easy.
It says, because of our faith in Him, we dare
to have boldness. Wait, because of our faith in Him,
we dare to have boldness, courage and confidence of free
(19:35):
access and unreserved approach to God with freedom without fear.
And what that means is they're talking about like what
is confidence? I believe confidence is all about being positive
concerning what you can do and not worrying about what
you can't do. Confident people do not concentrate on their weaknesses.
They develop and maximize their strengths. Let's say you're not
(19:56):
a numbers guy, Brian. That's what it says on a
scale of one to ten, and you might be a three.
You might obsess in your inability to do math. You
might be like, dang, I'm not good at math. I'm
gonna get this math for dummies. I'm gonna really try
to figure this out. So let's say you put all
this hard work in and now you've kind of moved
up on a scale of one to ten on math.
You've moved up from a three to like a five.
All right, but it says, uh, but but your math
(20:19):
obsession could eat up time that could be devoted to
stuff you're good at, like an eight or a ten,
like you know, creating, writing, or rallying support for charity,
like things that you could be good at, you know,
stand up comedy or writing a movie or whatever. Those
things that you're already like really good at. Focus on
that double down on that is what this is saying.
I mean, there's a great all kinds of opinions, but
(20:40):
that's what this is saying. Is because I love this.
You might rob time and effort from the tens in
your life just being a lonely three up to a
mediocre five. When you look at it this way, it's
easy to say where you need to invest your efforts
the world. I love this, This is right here. The
world is not hungry for mediocrity. We really don't need
a bunch of fours and fives running around doing an
(21:02):
average job in life. This world needs tens. I believe
everyone can be attended something. Confidence allows you and me
to face life with boldness, openness, and honesty. Trust me
on this. God will help you be some other person
he wants you to be you. The world needs tens,
and God's designed you to be a ten in something.
(21:23):
Trust him and develop your strength. Think of a specific
strength in your life. How can you move from a
seven or eight to a ten? I thought that was
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, I like that a lot. You know, you can
really I can relate to that because not being a
numbers guy myself, but it makes sense that you know,
that's what's kind of rough about school. Sometimes they make
you take classes that you're not good at and it's
like you're still never going to use it, right, So yeah,
it is good to focus on and that would help
get rid of a lot of the distracting stuff. And
(21:56):
it is true, I mean, you know, because you think
about that back to the comedy business man, sure is
easy to make it to the middle, yes, you know,
And it's like there's a lot of fours and fives.
There's a lot of like, you know, people, you can
just waste your time. You can be like kind of
kind of stuck. So yeah, it is probably it's probably
(22:17):
a good idea to what's this guy, I think Jim
Rohan or one of these guys he say, Brian Tracy,
maybe say write down the number one most important thing
for you to do in the day, and do that
first thing in the morning. And I don't always do
that by trials for me, it's but for me actually
doing that to me is I usually wake up in
the morning and write down whatever dreams I had the
(22:38):
night before because that clears my head and then I
stretch and work out.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You know what my wife's pet peeve is when I
tell her my dreams that I had the night before.
That's her pet peeve. You ever did that? You ever
tell someone to dream?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Oh well, it's boring if it ain't their dream. It's
boring if it ain't their dream. But if it's like yeah,
but dude, there's in your dreams. Dude, there's probably there's
probably bits and stuff, or by bits, I mean material.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I tell you a dream I had and it actually
was a bit. Yeah, it was I should try this
on stage tonight. Make me do it tonight. Okay, I
had a dream. Let me see how it went. In
my dream, I was I heard a garbage man. Okay, Okay,
what it was is I was coming out of sleep
and I was waking up, and there was the garbage
man was outside the window, and uh and I heard
(23:22):
that beep beebe and I heard him talking, right, And
as he was talking, I heard the beep beep, And
so my dream was like, wow, they're even censoring the garbage.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Man, right, yeah, Like I thought that was funny.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, And then so I woke up and I told
my wife, because I continue to wake up, I go,
oh my gosh, that's actually really funny. Like the beep
I blended the bee Beeep with his talking. I told
my wife I ran in the kitchen and I go, hey,
I just had a dream. I wrote a great joke
in my dream. She goes, what is it? And I
go and I told her what it was, and she's like, wow,
you're right, funnier jokes and you're sleep And then when
you're awake and I need to go back to bed,
(23:55):
and there's I'm writing.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
She says. It's good for the next two years.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I wrote a whole hour. By the way,
it's funny you say that. There was a guy. I'm
listening to this history of the History of Country music.
This book. I love this book, Ken Burns. Go look
it up, guys. It's so good. This book is great.
And I forget the guy's name. I can't think of
it right now. But he wrote a whole song in
his sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh I believe that. Yeah, well, I think that's definitely happens. Well,
you know the movie I mean, sorry, not the movie,
the book, the book Frankenstein. That lady had a dream
and that's what inspired Frankenstein, the movie Misery, or the
book by Stephen King. He was on an airplane, had
(24:40):
a dream, then he jotted it down. That's how he
wrote that movie. So your mind is like kind of
always moving. I mean, just because we're sleep don't mean
that something's going on. So that's why I do like
to keep my pin and paper there to jot down
things because if the more you do that, the better
you get it remembering things.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Now, weren't you working on an erotic novel at one point?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, so we're still we're well, we're getting pretty close
on that. We got the first draft of the erotic
novel done.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And do a lot of those stories happen in your sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, there are both a lot of those stories put
me to bed, you know what I'm saying, You wake
up with a bone down. I got to write. That
was a good one.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I know, Yeah, that was a good one. That was
a good one. So I'm hoping to get the erotic
novel done pretty soon because I wrote that with eurotic novel.
I just wrote the first thing down all in my notebook.
And it's so crazy that I met my wife when
I was working on this erotic novel and I was
(25:43):
writing all the erotic novel down on a notebook. I say, okay,
when I finished this notebook, that's the end of the book.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So I didn't know. I just started writing. So now
I got to go through and organize it and clean
it up. And you know, but I'm gonna be selling
it next year at this time, I'll be selling it
at the shows. So we got something off for the
six audience members.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Okay, So dude, this this is this podcast is all
over the place. Five minutes ago, I'm in this Bible
book trusting God day by day. You're like, I'm going
to have an erotic novel. Page by page. They turned
their page to August eighteenth. Boom, I got a horny story.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, exactly how you got your daily devotional us. This
is devote you devote you to get lucky. Guys. This
is maybe you could do.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Are you gonna make it? Like, is it gonna be
graphic or it's it gonna be family friendly.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It's gonna be family friendly.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Ish, dude, I love it. A family friendly erotic novel.
It's a first. I've never heard of such a thing.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, family friendly erotic novel.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With pictures.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh man, oh dude, youre's something else?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Ohio, Uh so what else is going on? So you're
you're forty five year old freshman. Yeah, are you still
forty five?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm still forty five, forty six and in August i'll
be But I'm gonna graduate, should actually graduate next year
with from this from that school.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let me ask you a question. Here's the thing I
wonder about, Like, uh, this is this is in the
news a lot now, it's in the media, It's in
the lexicon, you know. I hear micro micro micro dirty job. Yeah. School,
And they talk about like about how college is indoctrination.
It tries to it's basically a platform for people to
(27:33):
pay a lot of money. This is the negative part
of college or saying like they're just getting people to
be in debt. They go to college, they graduate, Now
they're all this money in debt and they can't really
even get a job with what they've learned. Yeah, all right,
But but then some colleges you actually learn a trade,
you learn something, and you can make money. But what
are you finding by going to college? Do you go
(27:55):
to Princeton or Harvard? I don't even know where you go.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I go to Defiance College in Ohio. It's just off school.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah that might actually be better.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I think so, there's like twenty kids per every teacher,
twenty students per every teacher. Yeah, so it's a small
and okay, So for me, I have gotten a lot
out of it in different things, but there is still
kind of like you were just saying, with that math thing,
a total waste, some of it is a total waste.
(28:23):
Instead of those classes, you know, I wish that they
would teach the kids practical things. I wish there was
a class in there that was teaching people plumbing, home remodels,
stuff like that that's applicable. And as we saw in
the pandemic, when they start cutting people's jobs, guys who
(28:45):
knew how to take care of houses were still there.
Now there's trade schools and stuff to go for that, right,
But it's like, I know this guy who was a
killer wrestler, dude, like awesome, and he could have went
to college and done his thing and fucking and went far.
But he to be a plumber. Why because a plumber
can eventually make some good money. So he didn't go
(29:05):
to college. Right, you learned that on your own, But
just saying it to schools from high school on up,
they should be teaching more practical things. They should be
teaching us things how to fix cars and stuff like that.
Even if you're gonna give us these classes that are
total nonsense, to the actual degree we're going for, it
teaches something practical.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
By the way, I knew a plumber. I talked to
a guy that was a plumber for a while. He
worked for a plumber, and he he said, he goes,
you know, I thought it was just gonna be like
fixing sinks, maybe unplugging the toilet. He said, no, he
had to go under crawl spaces. And he was under
a house and he and he saw these and he
has a flashlight and he saw these glowing eyes and
he heard that and he looked and it was it
(29:46):
was a bunch of possums down there. And he got
out of there as fast as he could.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Man, that would be so scary.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's creepy as hell.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's creepy. So but you know, imagine that just but
just for yourself in general, imagine if you knew how
to do more stuff around your house, if everybody did, right, Yeah,
that's a money saver in the long time.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And I also, you know what's great about now is
there is you know the YouTube called tutorials and AI
like I have a friend that he went through his
whole website and he used AI to help him like
figure out little things and if he doesn't know, like
somebody the other day asked me to send them a
one sheet and you can go on AI and be like,
what's a one sheet? And how could I compose this letter?
And I mean so so in a way, it's it's
(30:25):
really great that we can do it ourselves now. But
that's what I'm saying. So it's almost like how a
lot of things run away like certain you know, like
I'm wondering if I mean, obviously you could go to
college if you want to learn rocket science or brain
surgery or something.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
But well, but the basics, I'll agree, like there's okay
if fais. If I weren't in my kind of situation
I'm in, I want to really see a reason to
do it, Okay. I was just kind of in this
different situation and it's something I wanted to go back
and kind of finish up on. Now some of the
kids are probably getting a lot of it, some of
(30:59):
them aren't. You know, it's changed a lot since I
was in college the first time, because back then, there
was no technology, there was no cell phones. There was
no computer, so you just sat there, took notes, listened, right,
and back then, I don't think there was much of
the propaganda push going on. There was still some. But
the irony is, when I was in school in nineteen
(31:21):
ninety nine, they were saying the world was going to
end in four years because of global warming. I go
back to school in twenty twenty four, they're saying the
world is going to end in four years because of
global warming. Now I'm not a math major, but it
was more than four years from nineteen ninety nine to
twenty twenty four, and they're still saying four years. So
(31:42):
why are they doing that. That's propaganda, that's fear, and
they're putting this in the beginning of the business books
to put fear in the kids. So yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Right, Jude, read this. It's so funny you said that.
Look at April fourth. Look what it says right there, April.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Fourth, This one here, fear is not going away. So
do it afraid? Is that what I'm reading? God is
with you everything you do. Genesis twenty one twenty two.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, read that again. Genesis is twenty one twenty two.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Fear is not going away, So do it afraid. God
is with you and everything you.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Do isn't that great? You just said fear and it
reminded me of that Bible verse. So fear's not going
so do it afraid? Yeah? So but.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, what was I saying, Darren?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I totally forgot, Oh that you're in college.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Oh yeah. In the comparison of it, whether it's good
or not, I mean, it depends. Now, I've had some
really cool teachers. I'm learning stuff. You know, a lot
of the stuff like I've been working on is well.
One cool thing is that one of my teachers has
written a bunch of books and he's been he's been
talking to him, helping me, helping me with me with
how to structure a book, to do all that he's written. Man,
(33:01):
he's made money off of writing books. But yeah, as
far as the school goes, I mean, I don't know.
I mean I want to be It's I just kind
of want to get do my thing with it. And
sometimes I think it's good. Other times it's nonsense. They
have a lot of I wouldn't disagree with the person
that you were mentioning at the beginning who said all
those things, Uh, because there is a lot of that.
(33:24):
I think that to me, they need more practical stuff,
they need to be more family oriented. See kind of
almost the theme of this podcast is like the people
in la never want to settle down, never want to
have family. Which there's a lot of fun to that,
and it's not necessarily wrong. It ain't wrong at all.
It's you know, it's your choice. It's just that sometimes
(33:48):
there's not like an option, like there's less people giving
options to people who are kind of family oriented. For instance,
at my college, every corner is an LGBTQ post and
I'm like, well, how many people? Why is this? Hey?
Why does it matter?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Be?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Why is it on there? And see? How come I
never saw anything for people who want to have a
family in the future.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You said poster Like.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, posters like you walk through the school and they'll
be you know, and you just see them in every
like I mean, that's like the number one poster around
the school.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Oh you're not really seeing like like a man and
woman and children. You're not seeing like family.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Like, yeah, they're not pushing they're not teaching these kids
about family. They're teaching us about this rare thing that
maybe a small percent of kids are in but doesn't
even and even at that school. I'm like, this school's
like like got a decent amount of like people that
want to really be going to that. So why why
is that being pushed and not being the family oriented
(34:50):
part being pushed. Why isn't there pictures of hey, we
got one day you'll be a parent day coming up
and come check.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Even when my son was in elementary, the head of thing,
it was like a I forget that exactly. It would
be like muffins with moms and it would be like,
you know, on Monday, then Tuesday was donuts with dads.
And then eventually they then they started they changed it
to it was just all neutral and like like no
more muffins with moms and donuts got crazy.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I mean, they want it, but it's a strategic thing,
is trying to wipe out the family unit because the
sooner that they can do that, the more work quickly
that people become reliant on government.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And there's that book Brave New World, and in that
book that mom and dad were bad words. Wow, So
you can totally see the government trying to push.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
For Oh I just got it from the internet. It says, no,
it's it was donuts with dads, muffins with moms. Now
it's called beyond meat with domestic partners. So do you
call your wife your wife? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I guess so my why wife. Yeah, I'm still like
kind of like, you know, I don't know, I haven't
said it that much.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
So, yeah, it's funny because remember when we first get
people first get married, sometimes they still say their girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, I said that a couple of times. She had
my girl, my woman.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You know, I was watching TV other night. That's where
I got that domestic partner of this lady referred to
her is my domestic partner.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And I'm like, nobody better ever refer to me as
that because that partnership is over domestic. No, I don't.
I don't like that. So but yeah, I so just yeah,
I guess the college it just depends on what people
are doing. But I think it's kind of nonsense a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But Okay, what's something you've recently discovered or rediscovered?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, I don't know. I guess kind of wrestling. I mean,
I guess I've been doing that for a while though,
but discovered or rediscovered I don't know. I like reading.
I mean, I always knew I like reading, but I've
been reading this book, The fountain Head. Yeah, I guess
that would be discovered. That book is awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
So it's by Anne Ran and she would I think
she's like from the Soviet Union or something. And anyway,
she's an awesome writer. Because man, the story is crazy
because it's about it starts off with this architect what
was his name, Peter Keating, and then this other architect,
(37:16):
Howard Rourke, and Howard Rourke gets kicked out of the
school where their architect's at and Keating becomes like the man,
he's like mister popular. And so they go out into
the real world and get their jobs. And Rourke is
always having troubles with people, but he's the best freaking architect.
He's a genius. And Rourke's not a good architect, but
(37:39):
he smoothes people well. And then there's this guy elsewhere, Tooey,
who's kind of like the secretive bad guy, but you
don't know he's bad, but he's basically pushing like his agenda,
and it comes down to a lot of like socialism
versus capitalism, independent versus is collective and basically you get
(38:03):
down to the point where Howard Rourke is the actual
The society keeps kicking him around, saying bad things about him,
and the newspapers are always attacking him, but he's the
only one that's the true purist. Like he come and
look at the architecture thing, and he could be up
all night and when he's done, he's got it perfect.
And he thinks about the people living in the house,
(38:24):
not just the house. So he has like how it
would be so whenever somebody moves into the house, like
this is perfect for me. Somebody might be driving by
like that's an ugly house, but that person who bought
the house is like, oh, and right, there's my desk.
That's where I'd always I would have put my desk,
you know. Like so he takes it like a pure
art for him, and everybody else is just kind of
scrangling around. And you see how the writer she makes
(38:51):
these characters in such a way that you're kind of
learning through their stories and about doing what you think
is right, depending even though everybody else is like, man,
that's this and this and that and keep going. And
Howard Roarke, he never people have been taking like the
keating guy always takes advantage of him, steals his drawings
and this and that, but he never cares. He just
(39:13):
keeps doing his thing. He gets fired from something, he quits.
It's just like the way he is is really.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
I looked it up right now as you're talking. It said,
it said why is it controversial? And it said, uh,
you know, because this ideology can be seen as selfish
and dismissive of community and altruism.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, so in that book, that that well, the people
that I consider bad guys in the book are pushing
this altruism like we're so great. But it's that whole
phony thing. It's that whole like la actually type of
thing right where you don't feel a god because these
people are. I'm out there helping all these people here,
I am see how good I am putting my mask on,
and you shit too. Well, Now all of a sudden,
(39:55):
you're not so great because you're telling me what you do.
We're doing it this way, Oh, you should do it
this way. And then if you're like, nah, dude, I
ain't doing it that way. I'm doing the way that's
true to me. You're selfish. Here's terrible. What a horrible
human bead right, we are so good. Look at us.
(40:16):
We are so good.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
We live on Beechwood Canyon in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
We are so good.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
When when the news comes on and tell us to
go inside and wear a mask and beat the pots
and pants together at six pm, we go out there
and do that. And if you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You're a horrible human beads.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
But we're so good.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, dude, that's interesting. And so this book fired you up.
Have you ever read a book and then and then
halfway through you're like, oh, I don't like them. This
is a this is propaganda and the message I don't
agree with.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
You had to school, you know, you talk about that
to school all the time. I hate their textbooks. I
catch it all the time. I highlight it, call it
out to the teachers, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
It's how does it make you feel? Because you probably
wouldn't even notice it back in nineteen or nineteen.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
I would not notice it. I'm forty five. I'm like,
that's bull that's a lie, that's black prey, that's propaganda,
that's nonsense, total lie. Oh they're pushing the kids in
this direction.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
All the globalists, oh globalism, oh mentioned in communism again
in a positive light. Okay, okay, I see what's going
on here. Uh huh yeah, okay, work work, work, don't
have a family till later in life. Oh okay, yeah yeah, yeah,
I see.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, it's great. Does it make you HAPPI or depressed
or no, or you don't feel one way? It gets
me fired up? Yeah, I mean I get wild. My
wife tells me calm down, don't write a political thing. Good,
you know, because I'll go on the paper and just
I remember you.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Told me like when college first started and they said
something about, you know, owning your own business, and then
you like piped up and were like, yeah, unless they
shut it down. Yeah right, yeah, So do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah? I think that was. Yeah, I think that was.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And then they all look at you like this weird
old guy. But then that one nineteen year old kid
was like, hey, that's that guy is kind of cool.
He thought you were kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, That's what I found. Like a lot
of the kids will kind of be listening to it
because they they consist. I mean, it's not like they're
dombin or they already graduated high school. They're in college.
You know, they're smart, but they're getting they're young, so
they're easily to it's easy to you know, and they're
(42:33):
not gonna want to write against the textbook.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
Me.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
I will argue with the text. The people writing the textbook,
I feel like an equal ground to do it. Maybe
they're smarter than me and whatever, but you know, at
this age, you see what you see. You can hold
by your not saying. I could win any debate, but
I can hold by my opinions. You know, I can
say this is why, and this is why. And if
you're saying this part in the book, yeah, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Ahead, Okay, finish that thought.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Well, if you're saying one part in the book, they
should be putting on the flop side of it too,
the reverse side, instead of making it so heavy handed.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Okay, I gotta We're gonna wrap up, but I want
to say something. I'm a huge kid rock Fano. I
knew his concerts. I love is. I used to buy
all his albums. I think I still do. I don't know.
I really don't buy albums like I used to, but
nobody does. The guy is amazing live performer. And I
saw that Bill Mark Donald Trump kid Rock all had
of dinner. Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I saw that on the I saw that on the
news or on YouTube somewhere.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I think it would have been a great time for
Kid Rock to take his guitar out and bash it
over Bill Maher's head.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
But oh, man, you're crazy. I was wondering if you
were coming around though. All right, let's let's turn our
Bibles to page I thought, well, if these guys can
have a summit, maybe Brian would go there.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Well, I guess I could. I mean, we'll see, we'll see.
I mean, well, Bill Maher trying to come around to
see That's my point goes to the beginning of the show.
Five years ago. Bill Maher was calling for the extinction
of people like myself. And now what's he doing. He's
seeing that the majority of the people thought like I do.
So if he's want to keep making money, he's going
(44:18):
to have to switch time. Besides, so here he goes
Bill Maher switching sides. You know, these guys are all
about their career, not really about you know, what's right
or wrong. When he thought the money was the other direction,
he went that direction.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Chump, dude, I remember one time you were on a
quick date. You remember that. Tell us about the quick
date and then we'll get out of a.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Quick date really quick day. Yeah, well quick date. We
sat down and some I don't know, we're talking and
she says out in La out in La at a
sushi place. I like the sushi place. So she just said,
said we're talking, and she said something that she used
to date Bill maherself, Bill Marher a loser. I said,
he's a punk. I could kick his ass, and she
(45:04):
said she started defending Bill Maher. I said, well, Bill
maher said that he wanted to punch that kid from Covington,
Kentucky for wearing to make America great again. Hat there
he is out threatening little kids. I'll knock Bill maher out.
I could take Bill maher would we could we switch
to something else?
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Something else? And then she's what she said, can we
switch topics to something else? I said, well, yeah, you
got his number? Oh. I wanted to Bill Mar's number
to challenge him. I mean, because you're.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Like, I want to fight him. I'll do it for
I'll do UFC, I'll do wrestling. Well, don't get the
money to charity him. All the guys like seventy two.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Well have you come on?
Speaker 2 (45:37):
I don't know how he is.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
But well, but see, the point was Darren he said
he was gonna punch the kid from Covington, Kentucky. So
he's already out there saying he's a bad he thinks
he's tough because he's gonna punch this kid. So since
he's saying he's gonna punch the kid, I'm like okay.
So then once she say something else, she's day and
(46:00):
I said something out about Bill maher and luckily she
finally left, so I didn't have to buy her dinner,
so that was good.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Oh yeah, you said she was gone by the time
they apps she got there. Yeah. Yeah. His name is
Nicholas Sandman. He was the kid Covington, Kentucky and they
went out to d C. And yeah and by the way,
uh yeah, says Nicholas Salmon, the Covington, Kentucky student featured
in all this media coverage. It says he something about
he like won all these suits and stuff. I don't know,
(46:31):
he made lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
He made a lot of money on the losses. Yeah,
he made a lot of money on the lawsuits. So hey,
deren what time a our shows tonight.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Oh damn, I did two hundred. But you probably did
other stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I did a lot of other stuff too.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
All right, what's your daily exercise and themble jam?
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Well, it depends with wrestling practice. But I always wake up.
I actually do some push ups, sit ups, and pull ups.
I don't do a lot, just a little bit so
that I do it every day, and then if I
try to jump, bro run, lift and wrestling when we
have wrestling practice, because you figure, for like six months,
(47:17):
I was wrestling almost every day, well you know, like
three days a week at least.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Like, oh this family guy over here now. But before,
back in the day, when you were young, single, ready
to mingle, you know, you were like I remember the
first time I heard you do the hey, hey, we're
really like stunned me or something where I was like
it was it was around twenty eighteen. We were in
the Renal airport and you told some girl hey, and
she actually stops you. Hey, she stopped and started talking
(01:54):
to you.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it was very effective. I could really get people
into conversation and like that. And sometimes I can say
it in such a way the hey that they think
that they know me. I've had that before. Where this
girl was she was at Damn Prop. She started talking
to me and talking to me, told me about how
she was on the prices. Right. She just kept talking
to me and talking to me, and we're walking. She
(02:16):
shows me, she walks outside, she shows me the car
she won and the price is right, and talking to
me said it was a lot of taxes, but it's
worth it talking talking to me, and then she said,
by the way, how where did we meet? I said, well,
we just met five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And you're like, and I'm I'm young, single, ready to
mingle it for you baby. The price is right. Hey, yeah,
what's the thing you tell on stage about all the hayes.
I love it how it rhymes, all those rhymes you say.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Say, fella, it's ever seen a beautiful woman? And you
start to say hey, but she says, nay, now get
away with me. You will not lay. I got pepper spray.
It still burs to this day. Dating is riscue.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
If she's Latina, and she'll say, oh delay o de la,
you can throw that in there.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
She's Latina, she says, ola lay That means all right,
all right, oh o de lay Okay, I should know
that because my wife's Lautina.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But oh yeah, ask her. I think it be. It
might be a Mexican in California West Coast slang. But yeah,
because you know you could do the uh all right,
all right, all right, Oh to lay o to lay.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Olay oh to layo to layo de lay.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Because it means all right, all right, a right, all right,
oh layo de lay delay that's funny. The hey that's
uh was it was. It was it a trip going
from being like the single, like you know guy that
was just constantly like, seems like you're back in the day.
Your life force was to wake up and just meet
girls like I never You're one of the top guys
(03:43):
that I know that were He loved meeting new people.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, I like two new people. Man. It was fun,
especially when it was around so then but then when
I met my girl. But then when I met my
girl now my wife, you know, when I met her,
it was like, oh, shoot, she's like serious. You know,
all these other girls are very serious. You didn't have
to take them real serious. So but then I met
her a little more so. But I had fun, man,
(04:08):
it was fun practice. Especially living in LA I always
had flyers to my shows, had something to promote, had
something to talk about, something to do.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So I find with what's great about it now? And
I've seen I've seen you grow as a man like
you You've gone from hey, let's go around, and I
got it and it's everywhere you go. It was almost like, dude,
focus on your career. Man, Dude, now you're you've been
rock solid, like, Okay, I got to exercise this time.
I gotta make my flyers at this time. I gotta.
And I love to see that in you, Brian. I
(04:38):
know I started noticing it probably back when you first
met your lady, back when you guys were just newly
dating and stuff. And it's uh, and I can only
imagine now with the family, how you're just like you
know what I mean, You're you're you're really driven and
plus you you know, you keep yourself busy with like
your wrestling conferences or wrestling competitions, and you got to
keep your diet right, your exercise right, your fitness health right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Man, well that's true because getting back into wrestling, it
puts the discipline in you, and it puts a little
fear in you because you know your opponents are. It
puts fear into you because your opponents are so tough.
And uh. Then with course with my wife, then I
had like a solid uh.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Meal for comedy. You could be like she's even tougher.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah she is, but not really nice.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Go for your jokes you could be, but my wrestling
punk are so tough, then my home life is even tougher.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Okay, yeah that's good. That's good. So then with her,
you know, it just kind of it kind of helps too,
because like I get to eat healthy and because she's
an awesome cook. Dude, oh man, And uh so yeah,
I'm more focused and I'm like, dude, I got to
get all this stuff done.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And I'm just so glad that single life is done.
I mean, I remember you used to tell me these
crazy stories of like being on these dating apps and
the crop that you you know, because you're you're not
the kind of guy that's my old manner and holds
back your opinion.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, well, you know it was fun. It all worked
out perfect timing, right, because I look at it like, man,
if one thing would have went run, I mean, you
think about how I met my wife. Man, that was
all perfect timing, you know, And that's how I say,
I say, man, you got meet a lot of the
wrong ones to get to the right one. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it might be on a delay, but.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You'll get there someday someplace.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
She's from Hoduras, but she's here to.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Day with me. She likes to play.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay on delay, she said, no way, Jose, I got
a Brian swine hard up in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, now, okay, we were reaching b Well we tried.
That was a good run. That was a good pun run,
a good pun run.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So tell us about those dating back in the days
with the dating app, some of those crazy adventures and
try to turn your body a little bit this way
so we can get you on this mic. Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So that yeah, Well, because you know, in La, it's
like people are so like, I don't know that weird, dude,
They're like compared to it like anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
LA, They're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, they're crazy. They're so technology type of a place.
I mean, you think about it. If you ever drive
in from somewhere else and you're on a road for
a while and then you get to La, like you
can start feeling like the energy, like how technology has
its grip around that place. So a lot of people
there don't believe in God because dude, technology has won
(07:24):
over and over there.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So anyways, it's funny you say that hold that thought,
You got the thought that you're holding. Sure, yeah, okay,
I'm not very confident in that answer, but Brian, my
buddy Steve Simone. He came back to the Comedy Store
for a big fiftieth anniversary and he was sitting on
the wall. And he had left La right after like
(07:46):
the you know, the BLM riots and all that craziness,
the Summer of Love as they call it, and it
was just shut down in riots and it was awful,
it was terrible. And he moved to Florida. And I
saw him at the Comedy Store parking lot in April
twenty twenty one, and he was sitting on the wall
and he was just observing the crowd and I go,
I go, what you thinking, man, And he goes, it
just feels godless right here right now, like like he met,
(08:08):
like the whole city. He didn't mean, like the comedians
he met, like just the vibe of it. He goes,
I felt the same way when I went to China.
They don't believe in Jesus Christ, they don't believe in God.
They just because I felt that same, that lack of
that lack in China, and I feel it here and
was told at that time, now things have gotten better,
But at that I know exactly what it meant. It was.
It was like a dystopia. It was a weird, like
(08:28):
you're seeing wood, you know, blocking windows, and stores that
were shuttered and businesses that were gone and lights that
used to be on were gone. But there was also
like construction, which is weird, but there was construction going
on at that time, so things were being built up.
But there's there was no lights on at night, and
it just looked crazy. It looks so weird. And uh
and it's interesting that you brought that up. Continue with
(08:52):
your story.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, yeah, because that's that's what happened to it. So
so I knew I would forget my story. Okay, technology
and dating, Oh yeah, so then so yeah, so it's
kind of like you said, God, like there's like God's
more likely to be in nature places like that La.
The people are just it's too much, you know, so anyways,
(09:14):
but so it's not a place where you know, people
are tough there too, like and and everybody is going
for a dream or a goal or ambition. You'll never
well never say never, but it's very unlikely that you're
going to meet somebody who's going to ever say I
moved to La to start a family. No, no, you're not.
(09:37):
I'm here to become famous. I'm here to be a
star on a show. I'm here to get my name
in lights. I'm here to be somebody special.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's what I love about it. That was funny when
you first said no. Nobody's like, when'd you come to
La Fort start a family? Yeah, it happens when you're there.
But what I love about what I love about La
is the people that are like driven to do something
more than what they could have been if they just stayed.
And you know what I mean. Like, for example, I
was at the park a few days ago and our
(10:12):
buddy Kevin Alderman was there. He goes, hey, I'm here
right now, and I just got done. Here's my day.
I had a set that night at the Comedy Store
in the main room, which was fantastic. But earlier in
that day I did a writing session with Fraser Smith,
who's back on their back on the radio Kalos. So
we're at the you know, at the steakhouse, and we're
riding and I'm walking back because I like to get
my little walks in my exercise and Kevin goes, hey,
(10:33):
I'm at the park right now, and I go, no, way,
I go, Hey, I'll meet you there. So I get
there and as I as I walk. As I get there,
he was talking to two guys because he's a very
he's a very outgoing. He's more outgoing than I am.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I see people working at the park, I'm like, let
them do their thing. He's like, I think it's because
he was a Navy brack growing up, moving around a lot.
He's like, hey, brother, and he just like starts talking
to people, shaking their hand and all stuff. I don't know. See,
That's what I'm saying. He's got that driving him. He's like,
you know, anyway, So he introduced me to two guys.
One was a really tall guy that was an actor.
Another guy was a Tom Cruise lookalike. Who's there who
(11:04):
came to He had to smile and it's funny. The
first thing I noticed about him was we shook hands
and he looked me right in the eye and we
were talking for a little bit, and then he said
he's an actor but also a stunt man, and his
goal is to be he wants to be an action star.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's like, okay, I like that about it too, because
people take chances. Like when I used to work on sets,
you know, and I'd be a sales on an extra job.
I love talking to the other actors. Man. Everybody had
a goal. Every had but I had an ambition. Everybody
had something like that. But my point is that when
when you're a single person in that atmosphere, there's.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Not like.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You're not meeting a lot of people who are like, Oh,
I just want to have a family or the simple
life's good for me. And when you're looking for somebody
for a little bit of a longer term situation. You know,
the starlets who are trying to be the next Marilyn
Monroe are great for about six to eight weeks. But
(12:05):
they're not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh I thought you're gonna say years, and I thought
that was harsh.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
They're good for about six to eight years. You're like weeks.
Some people would say days, but I would say weeks.
They're good for like a couple of weeks of your
life that you're letting pass by. But there's a certain
time to jump on and off the train. And if
you stay on any of those trains too long, you're
going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So you're saying if you're looking for something more than
acting comedy. You're saying, if you want to get like
the part of your life, like a family.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, because who's more famous? Right? People are always in LA
are really concerned with fame. But ultimately who's more famous,
you know, the people who out there selling out big venues? Yeah? Maybe,
but if you have a family, you're technically you'll end
up being more you know, you're making a bigger impact.
You're kind of more famous in that little group of
people eyes, right, because like there could be the biggest
(13:03):
star in the world. Right, and I could love Like
I loved Tom Petty, dude, loved that guy's music, but
I missed I missed his last concert. I feel bad
about that. But as great of an influence that Tom Petty, Like,
who means more than me my family or Tom Petty?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And I think that I see that a lot with
in my opinion in the business is people are so
worried about the fame stuff that they wanted. They think
that they can't They think they can't have both, partly
I think fame and family, or they will pick fame
(13:37):
over family to some agree. So in LA, I mean
just because it's such a prevalent thing there. It made
it made meeting people kind of like I thought hard
like it was easy to meet people and like get
your six to eight weekers in, but something more like
more than that. I don't think LA was.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A good you're saying you sort of look at some
of the older comedians that are always been single, always
been Baucheler's, and you're like, I don't know if I
want that for my life.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, not exactly. Not that I don't mind it. It's
fun and I could have I could have probably ended
up like that too, and not knowing I was missing anything, right,
So you know, it's all just chance. I mean, if
I wanted to meet the care if I want to
meet me my mia more, then it would just be
I could have just stayed, you know, if I didn't
(14:27):
ever leave LA, I would possibly still be like that,
still doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
But I do hear some of these dating horror stories
from guys, like, you know, a buddy of mine, he
said that this woman was supposed to meet him. They
met on some dating app and he's waiting at the
coffee shop at seven and now seven twenty and she's
still not there, and then she finally texted him and said, sorry,
I'm in the back of a car. My friend is
in labor and we're on our way to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We had a great excuse. Yeah, exactly the way that's happening.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, dude, Oh really, that's that's it. I mean, really,
that's in labor and that's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Have you ever had women come up with excuses for
you on these dating apps back in the day?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh yeah, Well, I mean I used to get kicked
off of them because I would get pretty pretty crazy
with some of them, Like you know, this one girl
was bragging to me about how she took the vaccine. Well,
I got kicked off a hinge because I called her
a sheep. So so she kick you.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She kicked you off the next day.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, the next day I was blocked. I figured it
must be from that conversation. I mean, who knows it
could have been from but I'm pretty sure she was
fired up, you know. And that's back when there was
good guys and bad guys, and if you said something
like I said, then you were a bad guy, and
you know, you should be tard and feathered. And you know,
five years later I was right, But uh, you know,
(15:50):
no apology needed, because I'm sure nobody will give me one,
but kind of hurt being an outcast at that period
of time. And it kind of hurts now when you
see people flipping and hopping on it and uh, you know,
capitalizing on something you said and five years ago and
got slammed for, and now five years later it's true.
(16:11):
And uh, you're watching the bandwagon jumpers. Now they should
have jumped bandwagon five years ago when it was, you know,
time to do the courageous thing. But now they're gonna
wait and capitalize on it. Punks, you should tell you
should tell your wife. Man, I want to go back
on hints, just to go find that bitch like you
(16:34):
sit right next to me. They're gonna put up pictures
of me happily married. Who won now? Man? Exactly? I
thought about that. I thought about that. I thought about that. Dude.
I'm like, I'm like, man, some of these losers I
used to date, right and now I'm like, who won? Now? Bitch?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Make that your profile picture of your wife and your baby?
Who just want to know? I want?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I want? I want, I want.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
A who's wwiping right on me? Now?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I don't even know which way you stripe.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Have you ever tried farmers only dot com?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, I didn't try farmers only dot com, but I
know some people who've met on farmers only dot com,
so it does work.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I heard you got to plow right, that's where the
hoes are. It's so silly, yeah, because I remember we did.
You and I did a podcast about hinge and you
told me you had the text and you were reading
it back and forth, and I think we actually called
that episode unhinged.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, you still got that because I don't remember what
was on here at that It's.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Somewhere in the archives. You guys go back and look
for it and I don't know where it's at, but
that was there.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, how don't you remember what that one was?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's fine. I got to bring something up.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You said something about God and stuff. And you know,
there's this book that I love. This book. It's called
Trusting God Day by Day, three hundred and sixty five
Daily Devotions. Now it's great for someone like me.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Ady d Adhd.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I bought a Bible and I said, let me buy
a Bible that I can totally understand, you know, like
one that's like I think it's called the I forget
the name.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Of it is made in drawings instead of words.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh dude, yeah, come closer.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Than Yeah, it's called drawings instead of words.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I know, stick figures, you know in the beginning. No,
it's I think it's like the New Living Bible. It's real.
It's a lot easier because I grew up with the
King James, and I'm like, I want to understand this,
Like even when they talk about something like you know that,
like I heard the other day on the radio they
were talking about like when Sault, when Paul changes Saul
changed his name to Paul, And I'm like, why don't
I know this story? Why? Just there's so many these
little stories that you kind of know, you kind of
(18:28):
don't know. And I said, let me look into it.
And I got to be honest. Even that book is
like I'm not gonna say it's hard to understand, but
it's like I'm like, eh.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's hard. I'm like, it was ancient names all the
this guy married this girl, they had this many kids,
but this is their names, and this is their names.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And Ecclesiastes and this. Yeah, okay, so I said, let me,
let me, let me dumb it down. Let me get
let me so we actually my son has a couple
of children's Bibles. I'm like, let me just.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
That's a good start.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
It is a good start, I swear, because it's like, okay,
there's the back speaking of drawing, there's pictures. I'm like, yeah,
but but beyond But besides that, I love this book.
It's a devotional dude, this is perfect. It's like one
it's one page like for you know, you just pick it,
you pick a day and it has like a Bible verse.
Then the author has a little description and it's great.
It's easy to understand. And then like a little thing
at the end, and I said, let me, let me
(19:13):
look up this one. So this is right before our trip.
It says confidence if this is for that date, confidence,
no more pretending. And this is from Ephesians, which sounds
like it's going to be boring and hard, but it's easy.
It says, because of our faith in Him, we dare
to have boldness. Wait, because of our faith in Him,
we dare to have boldness, courage and confidence of free
(19:35):
access and unreserved approach to God with freedom without fear.
And what that means is they're talking about like what
is confidence? I believe confidence is all about being positive
concerning what you can do and not worrying about what
you can't do. Confident people do not concentrate on their weaknesses.
They develop and maximize their strengths. Let's say you're not
(19:56):
a numbers guy, Brian. That's what it says on a
scale of one to ten, and you might be a three.
You might obsess in your inability to do math. You
might be like, dang, I'm not good at math. I'm
gonna get this math for dummies. I'm gonna really try
to figure this out. So let's say you put all
this hard work in and now you've kind of moved
up on a scale of one to ten on math.
You've moved up from a three to like a five.
All right, but it says, uh, but but your math
(20:19):
obsession could eat up time that could be devoted to
stuff you're good at, like an eight or a ten,
like you know, creating, writing, or rallying support for charity,
like things that you could be good at, you know,
stand up comedy or writing a movie or whatever. Those
things that you're already like really good at. Focus on
that double down on that is what this is saying.
I mean, there's a great all kinds of opinions, but
(20:40):
that's what this is saying. Is because I love this.
You might rob time and effort from the tens in
your life just being a lonely three up to a
mediocre five. When you look at it this way, it's
easy to say where you need to invest your efforts
the world. I love this, This is right here. The
world is not hungry for mediocrity. We really don't need
a bunch of fours and fives running around doing an
(21:02):
average job in life. This world needs tens. I believe
everyone can be attended something. Confidence allows you and me
to face life with boldness, openness, and honesty. Trust me
on this. God will help you be some other person
he wants you to be you. The world needs tens,
and God's designed you to be a ten in something.
(21:23):
Trust him and develop your strength. Think of a specific
strength in your life. How can you move from a
seven or eight to a ten? I thought that was
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, I like that a lot. You know, you can
really I can relate to that because not being a
numbers guy myself, but it makes sense that you know,
that's what's kind of rough about school. Sometimes they make
you take classes that you're not good at and it's
like you're still never going to use it, right, So yeah,
it is good to focus on and that would help
get rid of a lot of the distracting stuff. And
(21:56):
it is true, I mean, you know, because you think
about that back to the comedy business man, sure is
easy to make it to the middle, yes, you know,
And it's like there's a lot of fours and fives.
There's a lot of like, you know, people, you can
just waste your time. You can be like kind of
kind of stuck. So yeah, it is probably it's probably
(22:17):
a good idea to what's this guy, I think Jim
Rohan or one of these guys he say, Brian Tracy,
maybe say write down the number one most important thing
for you to do in the day, and do that
first thing in the morning. And I don't always do
that by trials for me, it's but for me actually
doing that to me is I usually wake up in
the morning and write down whatever dreams I had the
(22:38):
night before because that clears my head and then I
stretch and work out.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You know what my wife's pet peeve is when I
tell her my dreams that I had the night before.
That's her pet peeve. You ever did that? You ever
tell someone to dream?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Oh well, it's boring if it ain't their dream. It's
boring if it ain't their dream. But if it's like yeah,
but dude, there's in your dreams. Dude, there's probably there's
probably bits and stuff, or by bits, I mean material.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I tell you a dream I had and it actually
was a bit. Yeah, it was I should try this
on stage tonight. Make me do it tonight. Okay, I
had a dream. Let me see how it went. In
my dream, I was I heard a garbage man. Okay, Okay,
what it was is I was coming out of sleep
and I was waking up, and there was the garbage
man was outside the window, and uh and I heard
(23:22):
that beep beebe and I heard him talking, right, And
as he was talking, I heard the beep beep, And
so my dream was like, wow, they're even censoring the garbage.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Man, right, yeah, Like I thought that was funny.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, And then so I woke up and I told
my wife, because I continue to wake up, I go,
oh my gosh, that's actually really funny. Like the beep
I blended the bee Beeep with his talking. I told
my wife I ran in the kitchen and I go, hey,
I just had a dream. I wrote a great joke
in my dream. She goes, what is it? And I
go and I told her what it was, and she's like, wow,
you're right, funnier jokes and you're sleep And then when
you're awake and I need to go back to bed,
(23:55):
and there's I'm writing.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
She says. It's good for the next two years.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I wrote a whole hour. By the way,
it's funny you say that. There was a guy. I'm
listening to this history of the History of Country music.
This book. I love this book, Ken Burns. Go look
it up, guys. It's so good. This book is great.
And I forget the guy's name. I can't think of
it right now. But he wrote a whole song in
his sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh I believe that. Yeah, well, I think that's definitely happens. Well,
you know the movie I mean, sorry, not the movie,
the book, the book Frankenstein. That lady had a dream
and that's what inspired Frankenstein, the movie Misery, or the
book by Stephen King. He was on an airplane, had
(24:40):
a dream, then he jotted it down. That's how he
wrote that movie. So your mind is like kind of
always moving. I mean, just because we're sleep don't mean
that something's going on. So that's why I do like
to keep my pin and paper there to jot down
things because if the more you do that, the better
you get it remembering things.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Now, weren't you working on an erotic novel at one point?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, so we're still we're well, we're getting pretty close
on that. We got the first draft of the erotic
novel done.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And do a lot of those stories happen in your sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, there are both a lot of those stories put
me to bed, you know what I'm saying, You wake
up with a bone down. I got to write. That
was a good one.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I know, Yeah, that was a good one. That was
a good one. So I'm hoping to get the erotic
novel done pretty soon because I wrote that with eurotic novel.
I just wrote the first thing down all in my notebook.
And it's so crazy that I met my wife when
I was working on this erotic novel and I was
(25:43):
writing all the erotic novel down on a notebook. I say, okay,
when I finished this notebook, that's the end of the book.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So I didn't know. I just started writing. So now
I got to go through and organize it and clean
it up. And you know, but I'm gonna be selling
it next year at this time, I'll be selling it
at the shows. So we got something off for the
six audience members.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Okay, So dude, this this is this podcast is all
over the place. Five minutes ago, I'm in this Bible
book trusting God day by day. You're like, I'm going
to have an erotic novel. Page by page. They turned
their page to August eighteenth. Boom, I got a horny story.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, exactly how you got your daily devotional us. This
is devote you devote you to get lucky. Guys. This
is maybe you could do.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Are you gonna make it? Like, is it gonna be
graphic or it's it gonna be family friendly.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It's gonna be family friendly.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Ish, dude, I love it. A family friendly erotic novel.
It's a first. I've never heard of such a thing.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, family friendly erotic novel.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
With pictures.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh man, oh dude, youre's something else?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Ohio, Uh so what else is going on? So you're
you're forty five year old freshman. Yeah, are you still
forty five?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm still forty five, forty six and in August i'll
be But I'm gonna graduate, should actually graduate next year
with from this from that school.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let me ask you a question. Here's the thing I
wonder about, Like, uh, this is this is in the
news a lot now, it's in the media, It's in
the lexicon, you know. I hear micro micro micro dirty job. Yeah. School,
And they talk about like about how college is indoctrination.
It tries to it's basically a platform for people to
(27:33):
pay a lot of money. This is the negative part
of college or saying like they're just getting people to
be in debt. They go to college, they graduate, Now
they're all this money in debt and they can't really
even get a job with what they've learned. Yeah, all right,
But but then some colleges you actually learn a trade,
you learn something, and you can make money. But what
are you finding by going to college? Do you go
(27:55):
to Princeton or Harvard? I don't even know where you go.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I go to Defiance College in Ohio. It's just off school.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah that might actually be better.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I think so, there's like twenty kids per every teacher,
twenty students per every teacher. Yeah, so it's a small
and okay, So for me, I have gotten a lot
out of it in different things, but there is still
kind of like you were just saying, with that math thing,
a total waste, some of it is a total waste.
(28:23):
Instead of those classes, you know, I wish that they
would teach the kids practical things. I wish there was
a class in there that was teaching people plumbing, home remodels,
stuff like that that's applicable. And as we saw in
the pandemic, when they start cutting people's jobs, guys who
(28:45):
knew how to take care of houses were still there.
Now there's trade schools and stuff to go for that, right,
But it's like, I know this guy who was a
killer wrestler, dude, like awesome, and he could have went
to college and done his thing and fucking and went far.
But he to be a plumber. Why because a plumber
can eventually make some good money. So he didn't go
(29:05):
to college. Right, you learned that on your own, But
just saying it to schools from high school on up,
they should be teaching more practical things. They should be
teaching us things how to fix cars and stuff like that.
Even if you're gonna give us these classes that are
total nonsense, to the actual degree we're going for, it
teaches something practical.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
By the way, I knew a plumber. I talked to
a guy that was a plumber for a while. He
worked for a plumber, and he he said, he goes,
you know, I thought it was just gonna be like
fixing sinks, maybe unplugging the toilet. He said, no, he
had to go under crawl spaces. And he was under
a house and he and he saw these and he
has a flashlight and he saw these glowing eyes and
he heard that and he looked and it was it
(29:46):
was a bunch of possums down there. And he got
out of there as fast as he could.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Man, that would be so scary.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's creepy as hell.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's creepy. So but you know, imagine that just but
just for yourself in general, imagine if you knew how
to do more stuff around your house, if everybody did, right, Yeah,
that's a money saver in the long time.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
And I also, you know what's great about now is
there is you know the YouTube called tutorials and AI
like I have a friend that he went through his
whole website and he used AI to help him like
figure out little things and if he doesn't know, like
somebody the other day asked me to send them a
one sheet and you can go on AI and be like,
what's a one sheet? And how could I compose this letter?
And I mean so so in a way, it's it's
(30:25):
really great that we can do it ourselves now. But
that's what I'm saying. So it's almost like how a
lot of things run away like certain you know, like
I'm wondering if I mean, obviously you could go to
college if you want to learn rocket science or brain
surgery or something.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
But well, but the basics, I'll agree, like there's okay
if fais. If I weren't in my kind of situation
I'm in, I want to really see a reason to
do it, Okay. I was just kind of in this
different situation and it's something I wanted to go back
and kind of finish up on. Now some of the
kids are probably getting a lot of it, some of
(30:59):
them aren't. You know, it's changed a lot since I
was in college the first time, because back then, there
was no technology, there was no cell phones. There was
no computer, so you just sat there, took notes, listened, right,
and back then, I don't think there was much of
the propaganda push going on. There was still some. But
the irony is, when I was in school in nineteen
(31:21):
ninety nine, they were saying the world was going to
end in four years because of global warming. I go
back to school in twenty twenty four, they're saying the
world is going to end in four years because of
global warming. Now I'm not a math major, but it
was more than four years from nineteen ninety nine to
twenty twenty four, and they're still saying four years. So
(31:42):
why are they doing that. That's propaganda, that's fear, and
they're putting this in the beginning of the business books
to put fear in the kids. So yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Right, Jude, read this. It's so funny you said that.
Look at April fourth. Look what it says right there, April.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Fourth, This one here, fear is not going away. So
do it afraid? Is that what I'm reading? God is
with you everything you do. Genesis twenty one twenty two.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, read that again. Genesis is twenty one twenty two.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Fear is not going away, So do it afraid. God
is with you and everything you.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Do isn't that great? You just said fear and it
reminded me of that Bible verse. So fear's not going
so do it afraid? Yeah? So but.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, what was I saying, Darren?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I totally forgot, Oh that you're in college.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Oh yeah. In the comparison of it, whether it's good
or not, I mean, it depends. Now, I've had some
really cool teachers. I'm learning stuff. You know, a lot
of the stuff like I've been working on is well.
One cool thing is that one of my teachers has
written a bunch of books and he's been he's been
talking to him, helping me, helping me with me with
how to structure a book, to do all that he's written. Man,
(33:01):
he's made money off of writing books. But yeah, as
far as the school goes, I mean, I don't know.
I mean I want to be It's I just kind
of want to get do my thing with it. And
sometimes I think it's good. Other times it's nonsense. They
have a lot of I wouldn't disagree with the person
that you were mentioning at the beginning who said all
those things, Uh, because there is a lot of that.
(33:24):
I think that to me, they need more practical stuff,
they need to be more family oriented. See kind of
almost the theme of this podcast is like the people
in la never want to settle down, never want to
have family. Which there's a lot of fun to that,
and it's not necessarily wrong. It ain't wrong at all.
It's you know, it's your choice. It's just that sometimes
(33:48):
there's not like an option, like there's less people giving
options to people who are kind of family oriented. For instance,
at my college, every corner is an LGBTQ post and
I'm like, well, how many people? Why is this? Hey?
Why does it matter?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Be?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Why is it on there? And see? How come I
never saw anything for people who want to have a
family in the future.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You said poster Like.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, posters like you walk through the school and they'll
be you know, and you just see them in every
like I mean, that's like the number one poster around
the school.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Oh you're not really seeing like like a man and
woman and children. You're not seeing like family.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Like, yeah, they're not pushing they're not teaching these kids
about family. They're teaching us about this rare thing that
maybe a small percent of kids are in but doesn't
even and even at that school. I'm like, this school's
like like got a decent amount of like people that
want to really be going to that. So why why
is that being pushed and not being the family oriented
(34:50):
part being pushed. Why isn't there pictures of hey, we
got one day you'll be a parent day coming up
and come check.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Even when my son was in elementary, the head of thing,
it was like a I forget that exactly. It would
be like muffins with moms and it would be like,
you know, on Monday, then Tuesday was donuts with dads.
And then eventually they then they started they changed it
to it was just all neutral and like like no
more muffins with moms and donuts got crazy.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I mean, they want it, but it's a strategic thing,
is trying to wipe out the family unit because the
sooner that they can do that, the more work quickly
that people become reliant on government.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And there's that book Brave New World, and in that
book that mom and dad were bad words. Wow, So
you can totally see the government trying to push.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
For Oh I just got it from the internet. It says, no,
it's it was donuts with dads, muffins with moms. Now
it's called beyond meat with domestic partners. So do you
call your wife your wife? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I guess so my why wife. Yeah, I'm still like
kind of like, you know, I don't know, I haven't
said it that much.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
So, yeah, it's funny because remember when we first get
people first get married, sometimes they still say their girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, I said that a couple of times. She had
my girl, my woman.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You know, I was watching TV other night. That's where
I got that domestic partner of this lady referred to
her is my domestic partner.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And I'm like, nobody better ever refer to me as
that because that partnership is over domestic. No, I don't.
I don't like that. So but yeah, I so just yeah,
I guess the college it just depends on what people
are doing. But I think it's kind of nonsense a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But Okay, what's something you've recently discovered or rediscovered?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, I don't know. I guess kind of wrestling. I mean,
I guess I've been doing that for a while though,
but discovered or rediscovered I don't know. I like reading.
I mean, I always knew I like reading, but I've
been reading this book, The fountain Head. Yeah, I guess
that would be discovered. That book is awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
So it's by Anne Ran and she would I think
she's like from the Soviet Union or something. And anyway,
she's an awesome writer. Because man, the story is crazy
because it's about it starts off with this architect what
was his name, Peter Keating, and then this other architect,
(37:16):
Howard Rourke, and Howard Rourke gets kicked out of the
school where their architect's at and Keating becomes like the man,
he's like mister popular. And so they go out into
the real world and get their jobs. And Rourke is
always having troubles with people, but he's the best freaking architect.
He's a genius. And Rourke's not a good architect, but
(37:39):
he smoothes people well. And then there's this guy elsewhere, Tooey,
who's kind of like the secretive bad guy, but you
don't know he's bad, but he's basically pushing like his agenda,
and it comes down to a lot of like socialism
versus capitalism, independent versus is collective and basically you get
(38:03):
down to the point where Howard Rourke is the actual
The society keeps kicking him around, saying bad things about him,
and the newspapers are always attacking him, but he's the
only one that's the true purist. Like he come and
look at the architecture thing, and he could be up
all night and when he's done, he's got it perfect.
And he thinks about the people living in the house,
(38:24):
not just the house. So he has like how it
would be so whenever somebody moves into the house, like
this is perfect for me. Somebody might be driving by
like that's an ugly house, but that person who bought
the house is like, oh, and right, there's my desk.
That's where I'd always I would have put my desk,
you know. Like so he takes it like a pure
art for him, and everybody else is just kind of
scrangling around. And you see how the writer she makes
(38:51):
these characters in such a way that you're kind of
learning through their stories and about doing what you think
is right, depending even though everybody else is like, man,
that's this and this and that and keep going. And
Howard Roarke, he never people have been taking like the
keating guy always takes advantage of him, steals his drawings
and this and that, but he never cares. He just
(39:13):
keeps doing his thing. He gets fired from something, he quits.
It's just like the way he is is really.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
I looked it up right now as you're talking. It said,
it said why is it controversial? And it said, uh,
you know, because this ideology can be seen as selfish
and dismissive of community and altruism.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, so in that book, that that well, the people
that I consider bad guys in the book are pushing
this altruism like we're so great. But it's that whole
phony thing. It's that whole like la actually type of
thing right where you don't feel a god because these
people are. I'm out there helping all these people here,
I am see how good I am putting my mask on,
and you shit too. Well, Now all of a sudden,
(39:55):
you're not so great because you're telling me what you do.
We're doing it this way, Oh, you should do it
this way. And then if you're like, nah, dude, I
ain't doing it that way. I'm doing the way that's
true to me. You're selfish. Here's terrible. What a horrible
human bead right, we are so good. Look at us.
(40:16):
We are so good.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
We live on Beechwood Canyon in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
We are so good.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
When when the news comes on and tell us to
go inside and wear a mask and beat the pots
and pants together at six pm, we go out there
and do that. And if you don't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You're a horrible human beads.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
But we're so good.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, dude, that's interesting. And so this book fired you up.
Have you ever read a book and then and then
halfway through you're like, oh, I don't like them. This
is a this is propaganda and the message I don't
agree with.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
You had to school, you know, you talk about that
to school all the time. I hate their textbooks. I
catch it all the time. I highlight it, call it
out to the teachers, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
It's how does it make you feel? Because you probably
wouldn't even notice it back in nineteen or nineteen.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
I would not notice it. I'm forty five. I'm like,
that's bull that's a lie, that's black prey, that's propaganda,
that's nonsense, total lie. Oh they're pushing the kids in
this direction.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
All the globalists, oh globalism, oh mentioned in communism again
in a positive light. Okay, okay, I see what's going
on here. Uh huh yeah, okay, work work, work, don't
have a family till later in life. Oh okay, yeah yeah, yeah,
I see.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, it's great. Does it make you HAPPI or depressed
or no, or you don't feel one way? It gets
me fired up? Yeah, I mean I get wild. My
wife tells me calm down, don't write a political thing. Good,
you know, because I'll go on the paper and just
I remember you.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Told me like when college first started and they said
something about, you know, owning your own business, and then
you like piped up and were like, yeah, unless they
shut it down. Yeah right, yeah, So do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah? I think that was. Yeah, I think that was.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
And then they all look at you like this weird
old guy. But then that one nineteen year old kid
was like, hey, that's that guy is kind of cool.
He thought you were kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, That's what I found. Like a lot
of the kids will kind of be listening to it
because they they consist. I mean, it's not like they're
dombin or they already graduated high school. They're in college.
You know, they're smart, but they're getting they're young, so
they're easily to it's easy to you know, and they're
(42:33):
not gonna want to write against the textbook.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
Me.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
I will argue with the text. The people writing the textbook,
I feel like an equal ground to do it. Maybe
they're smarter than me and whatever, but you know, at
this age, you see what you see. You can hold
by your not saying. I could win any debate, but
I can hold by my opinions. You know, I can
say this is why, and this is why. And if
you're saying this part in the book, yeah, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Ahead, Okay, finish that thought.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Well, if you're saying one part in the book, they
should be putting on the flop side of it too,
the reverse side, instead of making it so heavy handed.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Okay, I gotta We're gonna wrap up, but I want
to say something. I'm a huge kid rock Fano. I
knew his concerts. I love is. I used to buy
all his albums. I think I still do. I don't know.
I really don't buy albums like I used to, but
nobody does. The guy is amazing live performer. And I
saw that Bill Mark Donald Trump kid Rock all had
of dinner. Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I saw that on the I saw that on the
news or on YouTube somewhere.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I think it would have been a great time for
Kid Rock to take his guitar out and bash it
over Bill Maher's head.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
But oh, man, you're crazy. I was wondering if you
were coming around though. All right, let's let's turn our
Bibles to page I thought, well, if these guys can
have a summit, maybe Brian would go there.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Well, I guess I could. I mean, we'll see, we'll see.
I mean, well, Bill Maher trying to come around to
see That's my point goes to the beginning of the show.
Five years ago. Bill Maher was calling for the extinction
of people like myself. And now what's he doing. He's
seeing that the majority of the people thought like I do.
So if he's want to keep making money, he's going
(44:18):
to have to switch time. Besides, so here he goes
Bill Maher switching sides. You know, these guys are all
about their career, not really about you know, what's right
or wrong. When he thought the money was the other direction,
he went that direction.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Chump, dude, I remember one time you were on a
quick date. You remember that. Tell us about the quick
date and then we'll get out of a.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Quick date really quick day. Yeah, well quick date. We
sat down and some I don't know, we're talking and
she says out in La out in La at a
sushi place. I like the sushi place. So she just said,
said we're talking, and she said something that she used
to date Bill maherself, Bill Marher a loser. I said,
he's a punk. I could kick his ass, and she
(45:04):
said she started defending Bill Maher. I said, well, Bill
maher said that he wanted to punch that kid from Covington,
Kentucky for wearing to make America great again. Hat there
he is out threatening little kids. I'll knock Bill maher out.
I could take Bill maher would we could we switch
to something else?
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Something else? And then she's what she said, can we
switch topics to something else? I said, well, yeah, you
got his number? Oh. I wanted to Bill Mar's number
to challenge him. I mean, because you're.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Like, I want to fight him. I'll do it for
I'll do UFC, I'll do wrestling. Well, don't get the
money to charity him. All the guys like seventy two.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Well have you come on?
Speaker 2 (45:37):
I don't know how he is.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
But well, but see, the point was Darren he said
he was gonna punch the kid from Covington, Kentucky. So
he's already out there saying he's a bad he thinks
he's tough because he's gonna punch this kid. So since
he's saying he's gonna punch the kid, I'm like okay.
So then once she say something else, she's day and
(46:00):
I said something out about Bill maher and luckily she
finally left, so I didn't have to buy her dinner,
so that was good.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Oh yeah, you said she was gone by the time
they apps she got there. Yeah. Yeah. His name is
Nicholas Sandman. He was the kid Covington, Kentucky and they
went out to d C. And yeah and by the way,
uh yeah, says Nicholas Salmon, the Covington, Kentucky student featured
in all this media coverage. It says he something about
he like won all these suits and stuff. I don't know,
(46:31):

Speaker 1 (46:32):
He made a lot of money on the losses. Yeah,

I actually do some push ups, sit ups, and pull ups.
I don't do a lot, just a little bit so
that I do it every day, and then if I
