Felipe and Butch talk about the history of San Francisco's Barbary Coast. It was a port that acted as a hub for the "gold rush" in California. The Barbary Coast gave access for all kinds of life to re-establish themselves for gain. Some also caused chaos that also ties in to the life of Emperor Norton. This is quite a history crossover.

history of the favorite food.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That we did, right, right, I think we did. We well,
I think we switched it to but those the natives, right,
we did the Native America, Yes, right, schools, and then
we included fri red.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, because frib red not called fri red everywhere, but
I'm watching it. Yeah. Yeah, it's called popover in Arizona

fucking Canada and northern Northern America they call it banca banka.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, it's sopapia like New Mexico, right.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Or it's not a different kind of different thing. It's
like spaniards.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh see, I thought soapa pias were the same thing
as fried.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, I found out something, man, you might like.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
One of the biggest, one of the biggest things to
do in one of the Native try was to make
fry bread and put a monk button stewo and on
top of it. That's you fribred mutton soup. But like
all nice and stewy, and there was somebody the other
they like to eat frybread, bro you know how it
(08:31):
is with a regular taco bell taco meat, bro, like
a taco.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, okay, I've had that in New Mexico where they.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Had a casino we performed at, right did We had it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
At the casino. But when I was younger and I
went to go visit my grandmother there, I'm not my
grands like my aunt. She's like as old as my grandma.
She made inchiladas out of out of it like it
was like it was still hit the meat inside with
cheese over it, and the sauce it was fucking bomb
dog with like green peppers of course in its.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, everybody had their own taste, their own version of that. Huh.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I like it with butter and honey. But yeah, I
think I think well because it goes all the way.
You can go to India, Bro, where they make a
fry bread that's similar. The Middle East has a fry
bread that's somewhat similar. Indonesians have. It's really dope. It's
kind of like a fry bread. But yeah, I mean
because it's just a few products, it's like water, salt,
(09:28):
and flowers. So I mean everybody has their version of it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, Bro, there was a there was a you know
that there was a big blue air balloon flying over
hunting Park last week.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know what it was. Oh, I saw the video
on that It looked like balloons, but people said that
some people were like, it wasn't balloons. What do you
think because you don't believe in that stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't know if you've made it up right now, Bro,
I didn't even know about that. It just made it up.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, there's something. I don't know if it's over Huntington Park.
But I saw something on Reddit that looked like a
cluster of balloons. But the lady was like, it was
not a close So.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The balloon, well, balloons, right, and they can fly around.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
There's all kinds of shit in the air. That is
actually what is not a UFO that people think are UFOs.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
People should fix the checking account before they start delving
into I believe.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think. I think as far as like.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think, won't you start darving in us fold bro
and flatter and that stuff and your teeth are dirty?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Bro, you got a problem.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You got a problem, bro, Like you're gonna go into
a rabbit hole, but not a rabbit hole or oral hygiene.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think if you spend your time obsessing over it,
and then you ruin your relationships because you believe something
that I'm not sure is true is a huge problem.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I think if I love relationship, bro, because I like
what a certain team, oh yeah, and the whole time
I have bad feet.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well that'll help too. Yeah, But I think I think
if you just have like a like like for me,
I like reading about them, but I don't really give
a fuck. And I think the ninety nine percent of
what people see in the air is not real. But
I do think people waste their whole lives, especially if
they see something like that and nobody else sees it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I don't know what. I don't mind if people believe
in it. Okay, you believe in it, Well, once you
start stelling T shirts, now you just set a market off.
You know you're full of shit, right that you shouldn't
be set a profit of a lie. If you know
you don't know it's true, don't be fucking profity. Well,
my thing is this, bro, if you don't know if
(11:33):
it's true, keep it to yourself, because you could fuck
people ship.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Up like that. Like it's why people are like voting
for the wrong people and fucking up their lives, obsessing
over a person in office that isn't like, that doesn't
give a fuck about them.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And we both say the government is lying to you.
Don't believe it, then, yeah, don't believe it, not as
you have the facts. Don't believe it?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Right, exactly good for you? For you, yeah, exactly believe me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Or the or the capture. Okay, we're alive right now.
They poil somebody, they if they pulling somebody, it ain't us.
I'm alive, works, I don't care. I don't care. I
don't care. I don't I'm more worried about the lady
who hasn't brought my cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Bro. I'm more Yeah, I'm I'm more like in the now, Bro,
I gotta worry about whether my girlfriend's in the in
a good moon or not when I come home. Bro,
I don't like. I don't have like. That's my first thing.
My second thing is like having to pay bills. My
fucking third thing is having to try to just fucking
get through this life. And then you got and it's
like I just can't sit and obsess over things that
(12:45):
don't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Anything like scientology.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm not in that world, right, I'm not near that world, don't.
I don't try to buy a little feelis people really
get into that Jewish people, people really get into that
Jewish people wish one the one in America, the ones
in Israel, the ones in America, the Americas, right, the
one in Israel. Bro, there's the war over there, Man,
gonna do something.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's the other thing is it's like I don't really
understand when people are like, what side are you on?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And it's like America's side always.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm on the American side, of course because I live here.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Who's brother that broa?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So I'm not just not killing people on either way?
Like what's wrong with saying that? That? People will? But
you're you. You can't make a decision, yeah, because I
don't want people to. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yes, I gotta sell tickets. I gotta saw hundred more
tickets this weekend. Those people I don't want to offend.
There's a hundred people.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I don't want to offend anybody. But I have to survive,
and if I don't, if I don't survive, I can't
take a side.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So let me survive first, yeah, man, let me get
my chopped cheese first, exactly this arrow. Bro. I don't
want to say anything bad now, but like me and
my dad was to get to art crazy arguments bro
about the Virgin Mary Bro. Oh really that was when
I was a Nadia. Bro. I should have just took
quiet and left the room.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you learned that. And dude, that arguing is with
people is kind of useless. Like I've learned that for sure,
especially on the internet. Bro. I used to love arguing
on the internet. And one day I realized, like, what
are you doing. You're not changing anybody's mind here. No
one's going to be like, I'm not a I was
a Republican for twenty years and now I'm not a
(14:29):
Republican because some guy, some guy that I don't even know,
made a good point.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
On I became a US citizen. I'm new, right, give
me time, Yeah, give me a manic, guys. Give give
me a minute, guys, because I might be in that bracket, right,
you don't know, man, Like, do you care about like
I feel like like something. Oh they took away some programs. Okay,
(14:56):
now I know that's the program that I've got a
donator out of my pocket, you know, because to keep
it going like that during Like when I had a
show in Houston, Texas one time and there was floods, brothers,
fucking floods and food banks were running out, so fuck it, brother.
The first the first two shows, I gave half of
(15:18):
the money to that food bank and the other money
to shout to that couldn't find dogs. And now and
now I could have went out there and said, you
know what, they're not doing enough for the dogs. They're
not doing enough for this, but not not to do nothing.
And then you're arguing with people over what politicians decided
(15:41):
to do this?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
What is do that?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Bro, you have a wallet, you have two dollars. Do
don't to the calls. That's sucking up the cause. If
you care enough, if you care, you know what you're
saying that they took away fucking daycare. Hey, you're a
person as well. Weed all day you have time to
volunteer your some of the janitor to go MAP over there.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
See that's why I'm not an activist and I care,
like if you ask me, you know, you know me personally,
I'm a very liberal person and I and I definitely go.
But you'll never hear me passionately complain because I fucking
smoke weed and watch TV and play video games and
I don't do enough to take part enough to like
speak out. I'll clearly be like, yeah, I'm against that.
(16:30):
I don't like that idea of that. But to be
honest with you, I'm just trying to get by.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But me, I want them to say nothing. Bro, I'm
a big target. Right Oh yeah, people will start saying, oh,
you're fucking bad. Maybe you start eating burrito all day?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, what are you doing with your life?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It's easier for somebody, bro, or somebody who's nothing you know,
IM somebody who if you started off with views like
that and that's that's what they know you far ay man,
I applaud you, bro that you may eat your find
like you build this up. But you just can't be
overnight talking ship Like for me, it's for too arly,
(17:09):
too late. I can't go over there and shoot a
side right away because I've been already been like I've
been me forever. You know who I am already? Yeah
you know, but like, but but you can do it
in baby steps, right.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, the thing is this, bro, It's like like okay.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Like I'm gonna be a flat Earth. But first I'm
gonna start saying, bro, sometimes I think the world not round,
like gradually over that should be like my first day
of flat earther, you know, man, Sometimes Man, I throw
the ball up in the air and it comes down
(17:49):
my second day of being a flat earther. The other day,
I threw the ball straight and I wonder, I just
why didn't the curve? My third day of being a
flat earther. This is my FIRS Bravo right here, Ray,
(18:09):
my new best friend.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
You know. But you know what man like like somebody
like him, you know, that's what he's known for. It
didn't happened overnight. He gradually builds fans and it's doing
well for him. But there's some people who come out,
you know, who are like who were They were like
fans of Sound Tripoli or they were fans of any Bravo.
You know, the old geez. You know everybody knows them,
(18:35):
We know them. I grew up with you guys. But
then they start like start being like believing and stuff
like that, because.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's not right totally exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
You hear somebody say something, here's somebody say something. You
know they're doing the footwork.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you see the CNN interview with Tim Dillon?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
You want CNN?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Okay, But it was because it's the only reason why
I watched this.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Algorithm, So what's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Funny to me? And it doesn't normally just because it
had Tim Dillon in it, But in my mind, it
was funny to me because he was making fun of them,
because they were like, are you guys in the new establishment?
Are You're like? And he goes, we're fucking comedians. We
don't make a different You're like telling me, like, all
(19:25):
these titans of money and and people in fucking your
your company and Fox aren't as influence influential as me
and and fucking THEO Vaughan. Are you fucking like? Because
it's funny how much people are like, what does this
comedian think? And at the end of the day, it's like,
(19:45):
I'm just a comedian. That's why I don't hold myself
accountable because I'm just a comedian.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, but a comedian like that has like what you
say has five million followers? Justly you only have five
probably twenty, sure, totally, But if he says something, even
though he's joking, there's a lot of a lot of
people out there who are who don't know him with
the comedian and only know him with the podcaster, so
that actually they're believing.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That stuff totally.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
But who that goes back to tight the person watching
the more on.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, that's the thing is to me, it's like you're
watching because like the other day, I was on on,
I was on NO, I was on Instagram, and there's
this fat dude with like a cowboy hat and he's
in the forest and he's like, listen, guys, you're not
playing with their fun bags the right way. You got
to learn how to play with their fun bags the
right way. And I'm like, this is not bro. Whoever's
(20:37):
like someone's taking advice from this guy, obviously, But in
my mind, it's like this dude's in the forest and
he doesn't look like he touches a lot of titties. Dude,
why would I take advantage of this? Why would I
take advice from this guy?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Because he's gonna touch up for the first time so
he might try something new, you know. Yeah, Oh, there's
this tennis tee senator bro who says crazy things about straws. Right,
you read about that? No, tell me by an owl? Yeah,
there was a guy going.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh, it's a bleach sting, dude, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Glow in the dark and it's not a cup space
just told me earlier. That's I live with a lot
of guys and sometimes we just just buy each.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Other, see what I mean, fake news, bro, Now people
are gonna buy that. I'm gonna be at the club tonight.
We're gonna be like I heard, you live with a
bunch of guys and you guys just on each other.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But people are like, people just believe them, bro. Like
I think that's why the onion is more popular. So
the onion pulled up a post and then somebody will
well reshare it and take down all the stuff that
stays onion on it and believe people believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That's sad, dude, totally bro. It's like, it's crazy how
much people believe dude. And again, it's like like.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
If you've never done a book report, which I have
never done, you're never going to resource ship or that's
the book.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Report's supposed to do. I think that's the purpose of

We'll wait till the next episode. Watch it with us,
you guys, and we'll talk about it on the next episode.
For sure.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Sure, man. The Barbary Coast in San Francisco was a
notorious era known for lawlessness, gambling, and vice, particularly during
the gold Rush era. It were named after Barbary Coast
of North Africa, known for as pirates, which is our
worst podcast. Here are ten facts about the Barbary Coast.
(30:16):
First of all, with the gold Rush origins. The Barbary
Coast emerged with the massive influx of gold seeking prospectors
during the California gold Rush. Let's talk about that gold
Rush origines right now, mister. Let's do that and then
we'll go to number two afterwards. So the bar the
gold Rush, and we spoke to last week when we
(30:38):
did the Chinese one.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
We did ever Norton and we talked a bit about
the gold Rush because this is the same era. So
the gold Rush started in one town actually, Colomba, California,
and it was a guy named Uh. It was a
German Uh that moved to the United States and he
(31:00):
was a former captain in the military over there, and
so he built a small fort in San Francisco's his
name was John Sutter and then he had a lot
of money. So we asked this guy to start a
mill for him in Colomba, like a woodmill because there
was a lot of timber industry going on and stuff,
the railroads of course and everything. And as they're digging
up the waterway to put the logs through, they find
(31:25):
like a pretty significant amount of gold. And there's all
kinds of theories as to how it got out that
the gold was found. But it didn't take long. I mean,
uh so inn In eighteen forty eight there was only
about roughly around five to six hundred people living in
(31:46):
San Francisco, five to six hundred, wow, but those like
but it was thill I'm sorry, eight hundred one thousand.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
What do you think some of Francisco became such a
big city right before Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Because of the gold rush? Because it was those insane
it would happen and.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Then like we are business type, cooling people who are smart,
who would go with math, who just just were over
there to start buying. Everybody went over there, everybody. And
the thing was is that you think that was like
the beginning of because not everybody makes it bro right, No,
there could be a lot homeless.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Bro When they talk about this, they make it sound
like everybody was making money.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Somebody has to be homeless, right there, was so many
people got fucked. So there's there was homeless then, right.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
But first, because it was a small town called and
I wasn't even San Francisco, it was called Yurba Buena
and it was called yurb Buena Cove because it was
just a small cove. About one thousand people. Nineteen forty eight,
one thousand people eighteen I'm sorry, eighteen forty eight, eighteen
forty nine, how many I guess how many people come?
Twenty five thousand people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Wait, twenty five thousand came from it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Jumps to the population jumps. This is a very accurate
picture right here. I'm gonna explain why in a minute.
But the population jumps from one thousand to twenty five
thousand in one this is eighteen This right here is
probably around eighteen forty nine, eighteen fifty. And see them
ships right there, the way they look, that's actually a
true event. It's called the forest of what do you
(33:20):
call those things on a boat mass? It's the forest
of mass. And if you look up forests of mass,
you guys could do it at home. I looked it
up and I thought maybe it was just a term
that you have. It was actually a term in San
Francisco because ships would pull in with captains, shipmates, sailors, everybody,
and they would just they would drop off their cargo
(33:42):
and abandon the ship. And so at some point the
harbor started to fill up and I think it was over.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I ain't going back either, huh no, fuck no, They're
all headed to the Goldfield. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Huh, that's it. And so there's so so look see
there's the Sea of Mass, and so there's a thousand
ships in there.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Of course, just like like the people who like left
their cars it was boned out of bro.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's like, well, yeah, you know, when like you see
like an apocalyptic film and the freeways just filled with
empty cars, it's somewhat the same thing. And there's one
letter that I read from a sailor that wrote when
he got when they pulled into port, they had to
hop over boats. They had to like walk across a
bunch of boats before they actually got to land. And
(34:29):
there's something you could look up now and show later
or whatever. But when you look at the coast of
San Francisco now versus the coast of San Francisco, then
they there's so much landfill and what they started to
do because there were so many ships, and this contributed
to the nineteen oh six earthquakes, is that they uh
won they started thinking them right into the bay and
(34:50):
then filling them with land, which is now the Financial
District of San Francisco. But the other thing that they
did was they were they were pulling them in. They're
pulling them in to inland and putting building making them
into buildings. One was actually the city jail. And the
other thing to keep in mind is that this is
eighteen forty nine. San Francisco is not even called San Francisco.
(35:11):
It's a new city. It's taken over by the United States.
So there's no government there. There's no cops, there's no
the Mexican government's disappeared. The laws that are left. No Spaniards,
bro Spaniards, Chinese people, Japanese people. No, it's owned by America.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Now. The governor Pico, huh right, the.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Governor was Peel Pico, and then the new governor who
took over didn't There was.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
No government infrastructure there. Huh.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There was a little bit, a little bit and then
over the next year so here, yeah, see there's so
this is exactly bro so that's San Francisco during eighteen
forty nine. And then all that is now filled in
that whole Higher Cove is now the financial district. Uh,
somewhere gone, somewhere above the sea is where the Punchline
(36:08):
Comedy Club is and San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Imagine, brother, how lush California is back then? Oh got
you got people out there finding fucking gold. You got
motherfuckers in Monterey, California fucking up all the seals forever
to get fur and overfishing the canary California overfishing to
(36:36):
they're no more fucking canary in fucking Monterey depleted it
gone and took all the gold and but only that. Man,
I'm thinking at this point they're probably making the best
homes because they're like cutting the red woods about have
been like god to just showing up, bro and seeing
(36:59):
badass treats.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You driven through northern California at all.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
With you at nighttime when you're saying you're appointing.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Okay, did you see all the forts? Were able to
see it? Like how dense the forest was there? We
depleted since a lot of forest we've depleted, and that
was a lot of for if you go to.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
The north you're talking about. We drove with Rachel Wilson
at so yeah drive so.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh. We had so much fun that night.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
It would have been good at daytime too, though. Huh,
guys were but we got stuck in Medford, Oregon. Drove
to get us to drive to Humboldt.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They were in Humboldt, which is four hours away from Medford.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We pull over to Dark Beach.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, you guys had to fly May Beach at night
was beautiful, dude, But yeah, the story is that they
had to fly into another place because of fog. I
had to go pick them up because we had to
show the next day. Have you ever been to Homo
Hombot County, Northern California. It's some of the most beautiful
places I've ever seen in my entire life. And it's
dense with forest. But and if you go through, if
(38:02):
you just drive through, you're like, holy shit, I've never
seen this much forest in my life, and I still haven't.
But there was still more saying bro eighty percent of
our forests were depleted by the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
And also we we we also are people here in California.
We went with our building in the beginning of California.
At those times, we killed a grizzly bear. Oh yeah,
we had a shit.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, grizzly Bear was prominent and that's why we have
it on our state flag.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
You were huge. He was the first. Good to let
everybody know, that's the first person we wiped out.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
The first thing we wiped out, and we wiped that
thing out all the way up to fucking if who.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Were out there. They were learning how to hunt people.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Huh yeah, well yeah, we wiped that out in the Buffalo,
like the Indians didn't wipe out the buffalo. We wiped
out the buffalo.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
You know they're still buffalo. Yeah no, Kelleena Island.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, that's right, natural ones.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You know why why because they were making the Westerns
over there. They shipped them over and f.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Them there no ship and so they just left them
there and they're just roaming.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
That's actually really dope.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah, so that's crazy. So so the red one, they
was just like saw those trees, like imagine, bro, those
trees were the first.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Time going whoa, well that's a lot of houses.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
That's money.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Huh, that's so much money and is free right and
redwood and so like. I don't know any carpenter. I
will tell you there's a difference in wood, but redwood
and oak are the two best things to build with.
And correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Guys really cut some big trees.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Saw it just a little like with like well compared
with little saws, I mean yeah, And they were cutting.
It was down without chainsaws, without.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Machinery, whatever it last, You got the way huh right?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh man, have you ever seen a big huge tree
fell on like on like videos and a tree fucking
you know what?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
They're going to rabbit hole time? Watching a guy cut
trees all day.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It's so fun, it's satisfying as fun.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I saw the whip away brought a pound tree. I
see that. You don't know what to say. I learned
the other day about cutting palm trees. You can suffocate
in one. Oh really, because you know the big big
palm trees. Yeah. So you're in you're in the bottom right,
and you're cutting, you're cutting, and they're falling, they're falling.
There's there's there's tree. Trimmer got stuck in one broile
(40:19):
and a pile of palm trees bro and he died
and he died.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Wow, I mean I could see that. I can see
that how that happens.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
But yeah, so you know, look at that, bro, good
thank you? Ray?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
What the hell? Can I send you a text? Real quick?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Ray? Anybody anybody see this in person?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Instagram is the best way to go. I'm going to
send you Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
That's a huge bro.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I'm gonna show you a picture right now.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Hold in that build about your piece of woody.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Your morning shot films.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
There we go. What year is this? Nineteen oh one?
And so even back then there were no electric solves
how right, nineteen thirty three, and there were no electric
salts back then, right, it was all by fucking manual.
Manuel do it?
Speaker 2 (41:06):
So I set you a picture right now. This is
so California is the home of the tallest trees in
the in the world, in the world, like not just
in the country, in the world. And it's there's a
place in Arnold, California that's which this is the This
is where the hidden largest tree in the world is.
It's back behind this forest, but this particular forest. So
(41:29):
that's my girl, And that's how big one of those
giants sequoias is. That's not a fucking it's not trickery
or anything at all. And that's one of the smaller
trees in northern California. So if you look at that forest,
it goes dense for like hundreds of miles past beyond her,
and there's a lot of those trees right there. They
cannot those are illegal to cut at all. You cannot.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Active order.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Bro Right, it's just well because it's like they're rare, now,
bro those are giant sequoia's therese are.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Like you gotta you kinda if you gotta. That's those
that are growing right there. They're planted by somebody probably
in the seventies or eighties, sixties. Uh No, those trees,
the one that you appointed out right now, those were
standing those.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
That tree is probably older than Jesus, Like that tree
has been around before Jesus was around. Those trees are
like a sparza or Cristo. There're thousands of years old.
Some of those trees are a thousands.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
You're telling me they made Jesus Christ crucifixiy cross out
of that thing.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
I don't know if it was out of that I
think it was sandalwood. I can't remember what he was
crucified on.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
I didn't build our birch.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I don't think they have. They don't. So redwoods at
Sequoia's like the redwood tree family like that, Like those
ones are only I think they're only native to the
west coast of California. I think they might only be
native to California. But I know that if you go
up Organ and Washington, do that, Bro, not not.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Even cut yet? Bro, they gonna they still gonna chip it. Yeah,
they gotta do that. Put the little the little yeah,
and still cut right.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Can you believe those guys were cutting those things down
with those little saws, Like that's a big sauce for
a human being, But that's a little saw compared to
that tree. And look at where they're standing, bro, Like
that's the thing, dude, is that's the thing is there's
like the there, dude, there's a tree that they have
(43:32):
over in that forest that they cut down, and it's
larger than the stages that me and you fucking stand on. Bro.
It's like insane, How fuck Bro? I wish I had
the time to look for it. I wish we were
in New York gonna get on this subject, because like, oh,
here we go. Check this out. I just sent it
again to you. I just sent another one to you
(43:52):
this So this is the bottom of one of those trees.
And so the dude like when they there, they have
one cut down in the in the park we were
at that was larger than it was like double the stages.
That mean you have been on the size Like it's
so yeah, okay, if you move me outside of the corner,
(44:12):
I don't know if you can or if you can
move the picture a little bit, but there's a person
down in there. And this just shows you how big
this tree is. It's huge, bro, Like you could see
can you do it? Okay, but you can see the
top of Rebecca's head right there. Like watch, I'll put
my finger right there. See there's the top of her head.
(44:35):
That's how big. That's how big the bottom of that
tree is compared to a human being's.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Fu one hundred tonguins versus one red wroe.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Bro, that redwood might not win because it takes two
white dudes to take it down, But if it was
just them punching it, redwood might like pulling it out
by the roots, Yeah, they might.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
The roots for that tree must be a The bottom
of the earth core.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Huh, bro, they well those actually I know it's because
the Rebecca tells me stuff. But the roots actually spread
really shallow. So when you look at redwoods and you
see them, you know, you can see redwoods there in
a group together because they're holding each other up. And
then when they die, another one grows out of those
and uses their roots as as like a platform to
(45:25):
grow on.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
We drove under one of those times.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Yeah, we did, dude, that thing. Those things are huge. Man,
that thing's still alive too. You can see the roots
coming up from either side.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
So the guy that first showed up, they're in Barbary Coles.
They were called forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Uh, they were called the forty nine ers with the
majority of them, so you had a ton of you
had a ton of them that were from Chile, from Spain, China, Japan,
but the large majority of guys that showed up and
kind of took over were Australian because at the same time, Man,
(46:04):
I don't know if I wrote it down, but they're called.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I read somewhere bro that that that the prospects that
were taught how to look for gold by Bolivians, and
then they were assassinated.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, okay, so we can get into that all right, now,
all barbaric, there's all Barbers Coast shit. So the Australians,
Australians started taking over and barbarie. So what we're talking about,
and we call the Barbary Coast now, which doesn't even

Oh, I hadn't seen that movie.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I don't know we mentioned it and and we're talking,
I don't know, we're talking about fribred, but on the
history of the favorite food.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That we did, right, right, I think we did. We well,
I think we switched it to but those the natives, right,
we did the Native America, Yes, right, schools, and then
we included fri red.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, because frib red not called fri red everywhere, but
I'm watching it. Yeah. Yeah, it's called popover in Arizona
they call him pop over way and then and then
fucking Canada and northern Northern America they call it banca banka.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, it's sopapia like New Mexico, right.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Or it's not a different kind of different thing. It's
like spaniards.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh see, I thought soapa pias were the same thing
as fried.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, I found out something, man, you might like.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
One of the biggest, one of the biggest things to
do in one of the Native try was to make
fry bread and put a monk button stewo and on
top of it. That's you fribred mutton soup. But like
all nice and stewy, and there was somebody the other
they like to eat frybread, bro you know how it
(08:31):
is with a regular taco bell taco meat, bro, like
a taco.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, okay, I've had that in New Mexico where they.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Had a casino we performed at, right did We had it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
At the casino. But when I was younger and I
went to go visit my grandmother there, I'm not my
grands like my aunt. She's like as old as my grandma.
She made inchiladas out of out of it like it
was like it was still hit the meat inside with
cheese over it, and the sauce it was fucking bomb
dog with like green peppers of course in its.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, everybody had their own taste, their own version of that. Huh.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I like it with butter and honey. But yeah, I
think I think well because it goes all the way.
You can go to India, Bro, where they make a
fry bread that's similar. The Middle East has a fry
bread that's somewhat similar. Indonesians have. It's really dope. It's
kind of like a fry bread. But yeah, I mean
because it's just a few products, it's like water, salt,
(09:28):
and flowers. So I mean everybody has their version of it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, Bro, there was a there was a you know
that there was a big blue air balloon flying over
hunting Park last week.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know what it was. Oh, I saw the video
on that It looked like balloons, but people said that
some people were like, it wasn't balloons. What do you
think because you don't believe in that stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't know if you've made it up right now, Bro,
I didn't even know about that. It just made it up.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, there's something. I don't know if it's over Huntington Park.
But I saw something on Reddit that looked like a
cluster of balloons. But the lady was like, it was
not a close So.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The balloon, well, balloons, right, and they can fly around.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
There's all kinds of shit in the air. That is
actually what is not a UFO that people think are UFOs.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
People should fix the checking account before they start delving
into I believe.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think. I think as far as like.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think, won't you start darving in us fold bro
and flatter and that stuff and your teeth are dirty?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Bro, you got a problem.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You got a problem, bro, Like you're gonna go into
a rabbit hole, but not a rabbit hole or oral hygiene.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think if you spend your time obsessing over it,
and then you ruin your relationships because you believe something
that I'm not sure is true is a huge problem.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I think if I love relationship, bro, because I like
what a certain team, oh yeah, and the whole time
I have bad feet.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well that'll help too. Yeah, But I think I think
if you just have like a like like for me,
I like reading about them, but I don't really give
a fuck. And I think the ninety nine percent of
what people see in the air is not real. But
I do think people waste their whole lives, especially if
they see something like that and nobody else sees it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I don't know what. I don't mind if people believe
in it. Okay, you believe in it, Well, once you
start stelling T shirts, now you just set a market off.
You know you're full of shit, right that you shouldn't
be set a profit of a lie. If you know
you don't know it's true, don't be fucking profity. Well,
my thing is this, bro, if you don't know if
(11:33):
it's true, keep it to yourself, because you could fuck
people ship.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Up like that. Like it's why people are like voting
for the wrong people and fucking up their lives, obsessing
over a person in office that isn't like, that doesn't
give a fuck about them.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And we both say the government is lying to you.
Don't believe it, then, yeah, don't believe it, not as
you have the facts. Don't believe it?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Right, exactly good for you? For you, yeah, exactly believe me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Or the or the capture. Okay, we're alive right now.
They poil somebody, they if they pulling somebody, it ain't us.
I'm alive, works, I don't care. I don't care. I
don't care. I don't I'm more worried about the lady
who hasn't brought my cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Bro. I'm more Yeah, I'm I'm more like in the now, Bro,
I gotta worry about whether my girlfriend's in the in
a good moon or not when I come home. Bro,
I don't like. I don't have like. That's my first thing.
My second thing is like having to pay bills. My
fucking third thing is having to try to just fucking
get through this life. And then you got and it's
like I just can't sit and obsess over things that
(12:45):
don't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Anything like scientology.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm not in that world, right, I'm not near that world, don't.
I don't try to buy a little feelis people really
get into that Jewish people, people really get into that
Jewish people wish one the one in America, the ones
in Israel, the ones in America, the Americas, right, the
one in Israel. Bro, there's the war over there, Man,
gonna do something.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's the other thing is it's like I don't really
understand when people are like, what side are you on?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And it's like America's side always.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm on the American side, of course because I live here.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Who's brother that broa?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So I'm not just not killing people on either way?
Like what's wrong with saying that? That? People will? But
you're you. You can't make a decision, yeah, because I
don't want people to. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yes, I gotta sell tickets. I gotta saw hundred more
tickets this weekend. Those people I don't want to offend.
There's a hundred people.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I don't want to offend anybody. But I have to survive,
and if I don't, if I don't survive, I can't
take a side.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So let me survive first, yeah, man, let me get
my chopped cheese first, exactly this arrow. Bro. I don't
want to say anything bad now, but like me and
my dad was to get to art crazy arguments bro
about the Virgin Mary Bro. Oh really that was when
I was a Nadia. Bro. I should have just took
quiet and left the room.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you learned that. And dude, that arguing is with
people is kind of useless. Like I've learned that for sure,
especially on the internet. Bro. I used to love arguing
on the internet. And one day I realized, like, what
are you doing. You're not changing anybody's mind here. No
one's going to be like, I'm not a I was
a Republican for twenty years and now I'm not a
(14:29):
Republican because some guy, some guy that I don't even know,
made a good point.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
On I became a US citizen. I'm new, right, give
me time, Yeah, give me a manic, guys. Give give
me a minute, guys, because I might be in that bracket, right,
you don't know, man, Like, do you care about like
I feel like like something. Oh they took away some programs. Okay,
(14:56):
now I know that's the program that I've got a
donator out of my pocket, you know, because to keep
it going like that during Like when I had a
show in Houston, Texas one time and there was floods, brothers,
fucking floods and food banks were running out, so fuck it, brother.
The first the first two shows, I gave half of
(15:18):
the money to that food bank and the other money
to shout to that couldn't find dogs. And now and
now I could have went out there and said, you
know what, they're not doing enough for the dogs. They're
not doing enough for this, but not not to do nothing.
And then you're arguing with people over what politicians decided
(15:41):
to do this?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
What is do that?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Bro, you have a wallet, you have two dollars. Do
don't to the calls. That's sucking up the cause. If
you care enough, if you care, you know what you're
saying that they took away fucking daycare. Hey, you're a
person as well. Weed all day you have time to
volunteer your some of the janitor to go MAP over there.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
See that's why I'm not an activist and I care,
like if you ask me, you know, you know me personally,
I'm a very liberal person and I and I definitely go.
But you'll never hear me passionately complain because I fucking
smoke weed and watch TV and play video games and
I don't do enough to take part enough to like
speak out. I'll clearly be like, yeah, I'm against that.
(16:30):
I don't like that idea of that. But to be
honest with you, I'm just trying to get by.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But me, I want them to say nothing. Bro, I'm
a big target. Right Oh yeah, people will start saying, oh,
you're fucking bad. Maybe you start eating burrito all day?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, what are you doing with your life?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It's easier for somebody, bro, or somebody who's nothing you know,
IM somebody who if you started off with views like
that and that's that's what they know you far ay man,
I applaud you, bro that you may eat your find
like you build this up. But you just can't be
overnight talking ship Like for me, it's for too arly,
(17:09):
too late. I can't go over there and shoot a
side right away because I've been already been like I've
been me forever. You know who I am already? Yeah
you know, but like, but but you can do it
in baby steps, right.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, the thing is this, bro, It's like like okay.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Like I'm gonna be a flat Earth. But first I'm
gonna start saying, bro, sometimes I think the world not round,
like gradually over that should be like my first day
of flat earther, you know, man, Sometimes Man, I throw
the ball up in the air and it comes down
(17:49):
my second day of being a flat earther. The other day,
I threw the ball straight and I wonder, I just
why didn't the curve? My third day of being a
flat earther. This is my FIRS Bravo right here, Ray,
(18:09):
my new best friend.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
You know. But you know what man like like somebody
like him, you know, that's what he's known for. It
didn't happened overnight. He gradually builds fans and it's doing
well for him. But there's some people who come out,
you know, who are like who were They were like
fans of Sound Tripoli or they were fans of any Bravo.
You know, the old geez. You know everybody knows them,
(18:35):
We know them. I grew up with you guys. But
then they start like start being like believing and stuff
like that, because.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's not right totally exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
You hear somebody say something, here's somebody say something. You
know they're doing the footwork.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you see the CNN interview with Tim Dillon?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
You want CNN?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Okay, But it was because it's the only reason why
I watched this.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Algorithm, So what's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Funny to me? And it doesn't normally just because it
had Tim Dillon in it, But in my mind, it
was funny to me because he was making fun of them,
because they were like, are you guys in the new establishment?
Are You're like? And he goes, we're fucking comedians. We
don't make a different You're like telling me, like, all
(19:25):
these titans of money and and people in fucking your
your company and Fox aren't as influence influential as me
and and fucking THEO Vaughan. Are you fucking like? Because
it's funny how much people are like, what does this
comedian think? And at the end of the day, it's like,
(19:45):
I'm just a comedian. That's why I don't hold myself
accountable because I'm just a comedian.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, but a comedian like that has like what you
say has five million followers? Justly you only have five
probably twenty, sure, totally, But if he says something, even
though he's joking, there's a lot of a lot of
people out there who are who don't know him with
the comedian and only know him with the podcaster, so
that actually they're believing.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That stuff totally.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
But who that goes back to tight the person watching
the more on.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, that's the thing is to me, it's like you're
watching because like the other day, I was on on,
I was on NO, I was on Instagram, and there's
this fat dude with like a cowboy hat and he's
in the forest and he's like, listen, guys, you're not
playing with their fun bags the right way. You got
to learn how to play with their fun bags the
right way. And I'm like, this is not bro. Whoever's
(20:37):
like someone's taking advice from this guy, obviously, But in
my mind, it's like this dude's in the forest and
he doesn't look like he touches a lot of titties. Dude,
why would I take advantage of this? Why would I
take advice from this guy?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Because he's gonna touch up for the first time so
he might try something new, you know. Yeah, Oh, there's
this tennis tee senator bro who says crazy things about straws. Right,
you read about that? No, tell me by an owl? Yeah,
there was a guy going.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh, it's a bleach sting, dude, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Glow in the dark and it's not a cup space
just told me earlier. That's I live with a lot
of guys and sometimes we just just buy each.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Other, see what I mean, fake news, bro, Now people
are gonna buy that. I'm gonna be at the club tonight.
We're gonna be like I heard, you live with a
bunch of guys and you guys just on each other.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But people are like, people just believe them, bro. Like
I think that's why the onion is more popular. So
the onion pulled up a post and then somebody will
well reshare it and take down all the stuff that
stays onion on it and believe people believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That's sad, dude, totally bro. It's like, it's crazy how
much people believe dude. And again, it's like like.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
If you've never done a book report, which I have
never done, you're never going to resource ship or that's
the book.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Report's supposed to do. I think that's the purpose of
it in school, now that I think about that.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I didn't know that, but yeah, I do think this
Tennessee lawyer said something about straws. Bro that that if you,
oh man, if you do straws, you use straws. I
don't know what you say? What do you stay? Bro?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Contributing to? Uh? I want to know, dude. I'm just
trying to guess what is it is?

It was real radical, bro, an ecological thing like you're
contributing to, like turtles dying or no.
Speaker 3 (22:42):

the way your lips purse.

Republican told Fox News when he asked to comment on
Waters anti straw guidance on Thursday, that's what the women

We'll wait till the next episode. Watch it with us,
you guys, and we'll talk about it on the next episode.
For sure.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Sure, man. The Barbary Coast in San Francisco was a
notorious era known for lawlessness, gambling, and vice, particularly during
the gold Rush era. It were named after Barbary Coast
of North Africa, known for as pirates, which is our
worst podcast. Here are ten facts about the Barbary Coast.
(30:16):
First of all, with the gold Rush origins. The Barbary
Coast emerged with the massive influx of gold seeking prospectors
during the California gold Rush. Let's talk about that gold
Rush origines right now, mister. Let's do that and then
we'll go to number two afterwards. So the bar the
gold Rush, and we spoke to last week when we
(30:38):
did the Chinese one.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
We did ever Norton and we talked a bit about
the gold Rush because this is the same era. So
the gold Rush started in one town actually, Colomba, California,
and it was a guy named Uh. It was a
German Uh that moved to the United States and he
(31:00):
was a former captain in the military over there, and
so he built a small fort in San Francisco's his
name was John Sutter and then he had a lot
of money. So we asked this guy to start a
mill for him in Colomba, like a woodmill because there
was a lot of timber industry going on and stuff,
the railroads of course and everything. And as they're digging
up the waterway to put the logs through, they find
(31:25):
like a pretty significant amount of gold. And there's all
kinds of theories as to how it got out that
the gold was found. But it didn't take long. I mean,
uh so inn In eighteen forty eight there was only
about roughly around five to six hundred people living in
(31:46):
San Francisco, five to six hundred, wow, but those like
but it was thill I'm sorry, eight hundred one thousand.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
What do you think some of Francisco became such a
big city right before Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Because of the gold rush? Because it was those insane
it would happen and.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Then like we are business type, cooling people who are smart,
who would go with math, who just just were over
there to start buying. Everybody went over there, everybody. And
the thing was is that you think that was like
the beginning of because not everybody makes it bro right, No,
there could be a lot homeless.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Bro When they talk about this, they make it sound
like everybody was making money.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Somebody has to be homeless, right there, was so many
people got fucked. So there's there was homeless then, right.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
But first, because it was a small town called and
I wasn't even San Francisco, it was called Yurba Buena
and it was called yurb Buena Cove because it was
just a small cove. About one thousand people. Nineteen forty eight,
one thousand people eighteen I'm sorry, eighteen forty eight, eighteen
forty nine, how many I guess how many people come?
Twenty five thousand people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Wait, twenty five thousand came from it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Jumps to the population jumps. This is a very accurate
picture right here. I'm gonna explain why in a minute.
But the population jumps from one thousand to twenty five
thousand in one this is eighteen This right here is
probably around eighteen forty nine, eighteen fifty. And see them
ships right there, the way they look, that's actually a
true event. It's called the forest of what do you
(33:20):
call those things on a boat mass? It's the forest
of mass. And if you look up forests of mass,
you guys could do it at home. I looked it
up and I thought maybe it was just a term
that you have. It was actually a term in San
Francisco because ships would pull in with captains, shipmates, sailors, everybody,
and they would just they would drop off their cargo
(33:42):
and abandon the ship. And so at some point the
harbor started to fill up and I think it was over.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I ain't going back either, huh no, fuck no, They're
all headed to the Goldfield. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Huh, that's it. And so there's so so look see
there's the Sea of Mass, and so there's a thousand
ships in there.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Of course, just like like the people who like left
their cars it was boned out of bro.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's like, well, yeah, you know, when like you see
like an apocalyptic film and the freeways just filled with
empty cars, it's somewhat the same thing. And there's one
letter that I read from a sailor that wrote when
he got when they pulled into port, they had to
hop over boats. They had to like walk across a
bunch of boats before they actually got to land. And
(34:29):
there's something you could look up now and show later
or whatever. But when you look at the coast of
San Francisco now versus the coast of San Francisco, then
they there's so much landfill and what they started to
do because there were so many ships, and this contributed
to the nineteen oh six earthquakes, is that they uh
won they started thinking them right into the bay and
(34:50):
then filling them with land, which is now the Financial
District of San Francisco. But the other thing that they
did was they were they were pulling them in. They're
pulling them in to inland and putting building making them
into buildings. One was actually the city jail. And the
other thing to keep in mind is that this is
eighteen forty nine. San Francisco is not even called San Francisco.
(35:11):
It's a new city. It's taken over by the United States.
So there's no government there. There's no cops, there's no
the Mexican government's disappeared. The laws that are left. No Spaniards,
bro Spaniards, Chinese people, Japanese people. No, it's owned by America.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Now. The governor Pico, huh right, the.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Governor was Peel Pico, and then the new governor who
took over didn't There was.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
No government infrastructure there. Huh.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There was a little bit, a little bit and then
over the next year so here, yeah, see there's so
this is exactly bro so that's San Francisco during eighteen
forty nine. And then all that is now filled in
that whole Higher Cove is now the financial district. Uh,
somewhere gone, somewhere above the sea is where the Punchline
(36:08):
Comedy Club is and San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Imagine, brother, how lush California is back then? Oh got
you got people out there finding fucking gold. You got
motherfuckers in Monterey, California fucking up all the seals forever
to get fur and overfishing the canary California overfishing to
(36:36):
they're no more fucking canary in fucking Monterey depleted it
gone and took all the gold and but only that. Man,
I'm thinking at this point they're probably making the best
homes because they're like cutting the red woods about have
been like god to just showing up, bro and seeing
(36:59):
badass treats.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
You driven through northern California at all.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
With you at nighttime when you're saying you're appointing.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Okay, did you see all the forts? Were able to
see it? Like how dense the forest was there? We
depleted since a lot of forest we've depleted, and that
was a lot of for if you go to.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
The north you're talking about. We drove with Rachel Wilson
at so yeah drive so.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh. We had so much fun that night.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
It would have been good at daytime too, though. Huh,
guys were but we got stuck in Medford, Oregon. Drove
to get us to drive to Humboldt.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They were in Humboldt, which is four hours away from Medford.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We pull over to Dark Beach.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, you guys had to fly May Beach at night
was beautiful, dude, But yeah, the story is that they
had to fly into another place because of fog. I
had to go pick them up because we had to
show the next day. Have you ever been to Homo
Hombot County, Northern California. It's some of the most beautiful
places I've ever seen in my entire life. And it's
dense with forest. But and if you go through, if
(38:02):
you just drive through, you're like, holy shit, I've never
seen this much forest in my life, and I still haven't.
But there was still more saying bro eighty percent of
our forests were depleted by the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
And also we we we also are people here in California.
We went with our building in the beginning of California.
At those times, we killed a grizzly bear. Oh yeah,
we had a shit.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, grizzly Bear was prominent and that's why we have
it on our state flag.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
You were huge. He was the first. Good to let
everybody know, that's the first person we wiped out.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
The first thing we wiped out, and we wiped that
thing out all the way up to fucking if who.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Were out there. They were learning how to hunt people.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Huh yeah, well yeah, we wiped that out in the Buffalo,
like the Indians didn't wipe out the buffalo. We wiped
out the buffalo.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
You know they're still buffalo. Yeah no, Kelleena Island.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah, that's right, natural ones.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You know why why because they were making the Westerns
over there. They shipped them over and f.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Them there no ship and so they just left them
there and they're just roaming.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
That's actually really dope.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yeah, so that's crazy. So so the red one, they
was just like saw those trees, like imagine, bro, those
trees were the first.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Time going whoa, well that's a lot of houses.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
That's money.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Huh, that's so much money and is free right and
redwood and so like. I don't know any carpenter. I
will tell you there's a difference in wood, but redwood
and oak are the two best things to build with.
And correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Guys really cut some big trees.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Saw it just a little like with like well compared
with little saws, I mean yeah, And they were cutting.
It was down without chainsaws, without.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Machinery, whatever it last, You got the way huh right?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh man, have you ever seen a big huge tree
fell on like on like videos and a tree fucking
you know what?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
They're going to rabbit hole time? Watching a guy cut
trees all day.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It's so fun, it's satisfying as fun.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I saw the whip away brought a pound tree. I
see that. You don't know what to say. I learned
the other day about cutting palm trees. You can suffocate
in one. Oh really, because you know the big big
palm trees. Yeah. So you're in you're in the bottom right,
and you're cutting, you're cutting, and they're falling, they're falling.
There's there's there's tree. Trimmer got stuck in one broile
(40:19):
and a pile of palm trees bro and he died
and he died.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Wow, I mean I could see that. I can see
that how that happens.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
But yeah, so you know, look at that, bro, good
thank you? Ray?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
What the hell? Can I send you a text? Real quick?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Ray? Anybody anybody see this in person?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Instagram is the best way to go. I'm going to
send you Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
That's a huge bro.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I'm gonna show you a picture right now.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Hold in that build about your piece of woody.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Your morning shot films.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
There we go. What year is this? Nineteen oh one?
And so even back then there were no electric solves
how right, nineteen thirty three, and there were no electric
salts back then, right, it was all by fucking manual.
Manuel do it?
Speaker 2 (41:06):
So I set you a picture right now. This is
so California is the home of the tallest trees in
the in the world, in the world, like not just
in the country, in the world. And it's there's a
place in Arnold, California that's which this is the This
is where the hidden largest tree in the world is.
It's back behind this forest, but this particular forest. So
(41:29):
that's my girl, And that's how big one of those
giants sequoias is. That's not a fucking it's not trickery
or anything at all. And that's one of the smaller
trees in northern California. So if you look at that forest,
it goes dense for like hundreds of miles past beyond her,
and there's a lot of those trees right there. They
cannot those are illegal to cut at all. You cannot.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Active order.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Bro Right, it's just well because it's like they're rare, now,
bro those are giant sequoia's therese are.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Like you gotta you kinda if you gotta. That's those
that are growing right there. They're planted by somebody probably
in the seventies or eighties, sixties. Uh No, those trees,
the one that you appointed out right now, those were
standing those.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
That tree is probably older than Jesus, Like that tree
has been around before Jesus was around. Those trees are
like a sparza or Cristo. There're thousands of years old.
Some of those trees are a thousands.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
You're telling me they made Jesus Christ crucifixiy cross out
of that thing.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
I don't know if it was out of that I
think it was sandalwood. I can't remember what he was
crucified on.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
I didn't build our birch.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I don't think they have. They don't. So redwoods at
Sequoia's like the redwood tree family like that, Like those
ones are only I think they're only native to the
west coast of California. I think they might only be
native to California. But I know that if you go
up Organ and Washington, do that, Bro, not not.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Even cut yet? Bro, they gonna they still gonna chip it. Yeah,
they gotta do that. Put the little the little yeah,
and still cut right.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Can you believe those guys were cutting those things down
with those little saws, Like that's a big sauce for
a human being, But that's a little saw compared to
that tree. And look at where they're standing, bro, Like
that's the thing, dude, is that's the thing is there's
like the there, dude, there's a tree that they have
(43:32):
over in that forest that they cut down, and it's
larger than the stages that me and you fucking stand on. Bro.
It's like insane, How fuck Bro? I wish I had
the time to look for it. I wish we were
in New York gonna get on this subject, because like, oh,
here we go. Check this out. I just sent it
again to you. I just sent another one to you
(43:52):
this So this is the bottom of one of those trees.
And so the dude like when they there, they have
one cut down in the in the park we were
at that was larger than it was like double the stages.
That mean you have been on the size Like it's
so yeah, okay, if you move me outside of the corner,
(44:12):
I don't know if you can or if you can
move the picture a little bit, but there's a person
down in there. And this just shows you how big
this tree is. It's huge, bro, Like you could see
can you do it? Okay, but you can see the
top of Rebecca's head right there. Like watch, I'll put
my finger right there. See there's the top of her head.
(44:35):
That's how big. That's how big the bottom of that
tree is compared to a human being's.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Fu one hundred tonguins versus one red wroe.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Bro, that redwood might not win because it takes two
white dudes to take it down, But if it was
just them punching it, redwood might like pulling it out
by the roots, Yeah, they might.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
The roots for that tree must be a The bottom
of the earth core.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Huh, bro, they well those actually I know it's because
the Rebecca tells me stuff. But the roots actually spread
really shallow. So when you look at redwoods and you
see them, you know, you can see redwoods there in
a group together because they're holding each other up. And
then when they die, another one grows out of those
and uses their roots as as like a platform to
(45:25):
grow on.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
We drove under one of those times.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Yeah, we did, dude, that thing. Those things are huge. Man,
that thing's still alive too. You can see the roots
coming up from either side.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
So the guy that first showed up, they're in Barbary Coles.
They were called forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Uh, they were called the forty nine ers with the
majority of them, so you had a ton of you
had a ton of them that were from Chile, from Spain, China, Japan,
but the large majority of guys that showed up and
kind of took over were Australian because at the same time, Man,
(46:04):
I don't know if I wrote it down, but they're called.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I read somewhere bro that that that the prospects that
were taught how to look for gold by Bolivians, and
then they were assassinated.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, okay, so we can get into that all right, now,
all barbaric, there's all Barbers Coast shit. So the Australians,
Australians started taking over and barbarie. So what we're talking about,
and we call the Barbary Coast now, which doesn't even
exist at all. Before it became the Barbie Coast was
called Sydney Town. And that's because the Australians were all
(46:38):
these were all guys that were let out of prison
in Australia.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
And they came to the gold rush.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
They came for the gold rush and they were huge
dudes that kind of took over. Again. There's no laws, really,
there's no cops in this town. And what they start
to do is they start going into camps and beating
the Chileans, beating the Bolivians, beating the Ecuadorians, the Spaniards, like.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
All people who know how to look for gold, all
people who know how.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
To look for gold, because they're mining the fuck out
of those lands. And so the Sydney so and the gang,
they actually build a gang up called the Sydney Ducks,
and the Sydney Ducks

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
