1:14
I'm like a buzz right now from a
1:16
Buster waking up at two four and
1:18
six. And we're the first thing it
1:20
does is that recall. Like you go,
1:22
uh, you know, someone goes, what's your
1:24
address? Or what's street you live on?
1:26
Or what's your dad's name or something?
1:29
You go, uh, you know, it just
1:31
sounds like Tim. I can't run. Yeah, it's
1:33
the same as, uh, uh... Jimmy's dad's the
1:35
same name. Jim, yeah, yeah, yeah. You feel
1:37
like a fucking retard. Yeah, it's the
1:39
most basic things, like I couldn't say
1:42
ass over fist on the last show.
1:44
Yeah, that's why I want some kind
1:46
of a award or at least an
1:48
induction into the Radio Hall of Fame
1:51
for doing Stern show 50 times coming
1:53
off of love line at midnight and
1:55
starting his show at 3 AM back
1:57
at Westwood One in Culver City.
1:59
and doing a five-hour radio show
2:02
I was gonna be completely swimming
2:04
in my own juice by the
2:06
time we got the you know
2:08
hour number four I couldn't fucking
2:10
think hey uh Howard I agree with
2:12
the the black chick with the titties
2:15
is in the next room what the
2:17
hell is her name again oh god
2:19
you know it sounds like a bird
2:21
it sounds like a bird lark it's
2:24
a sparrow sparrow You literally think
2:26
of a joke, but you realize
2:28
you can't come up with Ronald
2:30
Reagan's name? Right, and it's
2:32
going to be hilarious if
2:34
you could just get that banana.
2:36
Oh, it's like the cowboy, I
2:38
rode the horse, he said, read
2:41
my lips, I'm in no way,
2:43
didn't, he said. And his
2:45
wife was like petite, and she
2:47
spent a lot of money
2:49
in decorating. Bring this wall down,
2:52
what was this thing? Oh shit,
2:54
can I want to go?
2:56
My brain doesn't work. Rubble
2:58
quivers. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Regulars.
3:00
Is that what you just said? I know. That's
3:02
funnier than what I just said. Must be nice.
3:05
Must have been funny. You know, the difference between
3:07
us is we beat ourselves up about it.
3:09
Yeah. We should talk to Donnie because Donnie
3:11
has a way of somehow skirting the part
3:13
where he beats himself up. God, I'd like to
3:15
skirt that. It's nice. We were in, we were in,
3:17
we went to Peble Beach and Donnie went on
3:20
a coffee run on a coffee run when I
3:22
went on a coffee run when I went and got
3:24
in got the car in got the car in the
3:26
car in the car in the car in the morning.
3:28
And he came back and he
3:30
handed me a small coffee and
3:32
I said, uh, small coffee and
3:35
he said, yeah. And I said, uh,
3:37
I ordered a large coffee and
3:39
he said, oh yeah. I said, Don,
3:41
have you ever, we go out to
3:43
coffee, uh, all the thing? I
3:45
heard me, order small coffee and
3:47
he went, no. And I realize,
3:50
wow. Like a dog,
3:52
shitting on a rug,
3:55
no problemo. Nothing. Completely
3:57
fine with it.
3:59
I don't know, it's like, oh fuck,
4:02
or what was I going to do,
4:04
or let me go back to doing
4:06
it. How about kicking himself? Nah, I
4:08
couldn't see it from where I was
4:11
sitting, but Donnie, that's a great thing
4:13
he got going. Yeah, well, after drinking
4:15
that much wine with you all weekend
4:18
and staying up late, and... You know,
4:20
I got to deal with all this
4:22
audio gear, the video gear. What's up
4:25
for 10 hours? Yeah, I did, I
4:27
did have some sleep. All right. Little
4:29
weed on top of that. Now why
4:31
grab the small? Because you already had
4:34
a cup in the hotel room and
4:36
then we're going to Peble Beach where
4:38
there's like a ton of food and...
4:41
I have this argument with my wife
4:43
all the time. Like, let's just say
4:45
it a crazy whim I said small.
4:48
And then you showed up with a
4:50
large, what do you throw in your
4:52
face? Like to me, all right. You
4:55
would have had a comment like, I
4:57
said small, we're gonna waste all this
4:59
coffee, right? Well, but here's the thing
5:01
about me. The prior two or three
5:04
days, I walked out there with a
5:06
large, right? Yeah. I've never ordered a
5:08
large, I've never ordered a small to
5:11
the best of your knowledge. You drink
5:13
a lot of coffee, yes. All right.
5:15
Just get a lot of coffee. All
5:18
right, but you beat yourself up pretty
5:20
good about it. Why, I just I
5:22
just walk away in chuckle, really. Yes.
5:24
I have not had that response to
5:27
any mistake I've ever made in life,
5:29
no matter how small. No, if I
5:31
said no chocolate. You should give me
5:34
coffee and make it a large. And
5:36
you walk away and handed me a
5:38
small, and I said, small, I order
5:41
a large. That's three therapy sessions about
5:43
why I can't listen, why I don't
5:45
do things well, why I'm incompetent, and
5:47
why I do everything wrong. And why
5:50
people don't like me. I would also
5:52
argue it's why you're batting average is
5:54
a little bit better in the small
5:57
and large apartment than damaged, because the
5:59
walkaway chuckling doesn't get you the large
6:01
next day. Well, the thing about beating
6:04
yourself up is you do go that
6:06
extra mile. to not fuck up in
6:08
the same way next time because it's
6:10
not so bad the first time. You
6:13
beat yourself up! You got to walk
6:15
away and chuckle more. Let me put
6:17
this way. I should and the, this
6:20
is not my quote, but the biological
6:22
purpose of pain is to prevent the
6:24
reoccurrence of stupidity. So if you feel
6:27
no pain, the stupidity recurs. If I
6:29
put my hand in a fire, blame
6:31
and it doesn't hurt. And it doesn't
6:33
hurt. That's why you should throw the
6:36
coffee at first call. You think he'd
6:38
do it another time after that? I
6:40
mean last time you got a small...
6:43
I would argue that it would probably
6:45
prevent that, yes. Yeah, pain is a
6:47
great teacher. Mm-hmm. And sometimes I just
6:50
feel pain for the fuck of it.
6:52
Yeah. But getting back to sexy stoners.
6:54
Uh-huh. Joseph Gordon-levit. You know who that
6:56
dude? Sure. I mean, third rock from
6:59
the sun. Did you guys see Inception?
7:01
I saw Inception. Did you like it?
7:03
But he's a third rock from the
7:06
sun, right? Yes, he's gone on to
7:08
be quite an adult actor. Five hundred
7:10
days of summer? Yes, he's a five
7:13
hundred days of summer. He was in...
7:15
Is that a lot of really good
7:17
movie? The best movie last summer, G.I.
7:19
Joe? He's made quite a career for
7:22
himself. And let me just say this.
7:24
From all... the people from him to
7:26
Johnny Depp to other folks that now
7:29
Jason Bateman and guys like that who
7:31
are doing kind of schmaltzy you know
7:33
sitcomy or cop drama things in the
7:36
80s or 90s or whatever they've gone
7:38
on to film careers to all the
7:40
assholes that said I can't stop being
7:42
a typecast. No, it's not that or
7:45
if it is they've gotten over it.
7:47
Somehow they've gotten it over it. You're
7:49
listening Bob Denver. I'm just saying if
7:52
you're one of these guys that says
7:54
well I was in 90210 so that's
7:56
why I can't work I get typecast
7:59
talent almost always out. Yeah, well these
8:01
guys, I mean fucking Johnny Jefferson, 21
8:03
jumps street. He's had arguably the hardest
8:05
role of any like Megastar of going
8:08
from like a you know teen idol
8:10
heartthrobe, lightweight rolls to being a respected
8:12
actor. Or look at someone like Julie
8:15
Ann Moore who's on a soap opera.
8:17
Yeah. And manages to be one of
8:19
the best working actresses today. You're listening,
8:22
Ian Turing? I don't think he is.
8:24
Like I could never come up with
8:26
the name Ian Turing right now. Yeah,
8:28
too tired. Yeah, I know. You know
8:31
what I missed by the way? We'll
8:33
never get to experience again. There's David
8:35
Arquette busting down in our door. That
8:38
was because by nature of it being
8:40
a podcast, you know what I'm saying?
8:42
Like, he would bust down the door
8:45
occasionally on the live show. Yeah, I
8:47
mean, please stop me if I'm wrong.
8:49
Happened more than once. We actually just
8:51
came. into the studio. Once, talking smack
8:54
about... Yeah, once on Love Line, in
8:56
the middle of a show, and then
8:58
once on the morning show, we're talking
9:01
about a Lexusark kind of thing. Yeah.
9:03
Yeah, coming close to the show, about
9:05
a sister. Or brother, or whatever it
9:08
was, toaster. I don't know what it
9:10
is. You were being so mean to
9:12
her. She was such a con, con,
9:14
on her shoulder. And you know what?
9:17
he's unpredictable and that's I associate that
9:19
quality with somebody who's truly funny David
9:21
Arquette yeah David Arquette is a yeah
9:24
I'll tell you the thing about Arquette
9:26
good soul it's just the it's got
9:28
a good vibe there's there's a couple
9:31
of guys out there that have that
9:33
you know good vibe and guys who
9:35
don't have that good vibe and Arquette's
9:37
good vibe said like Robert Downey Jr.
9:40
There's a handful of guys that just
9:42
every really Joel McHale has a great
9:44
vibe. Zach Levi. There's some guys that
9:47
are just like really cool vibes and
9:49
other guys pains in the ass. Getting
9:51
back to Joseph Gordon Levitt. Yeah. He
9:54
told Details magazine. When I was in
9:56
high school I loved smoking. weed. I
9:58
loved it, but I cut myself to
10:00
once a month. That was my rule.
10:03
Once a month? Yeah, so again, he
10:05
wanted to continue to enjoy it. It
10:07
sounds like he didn't want to become
10:10
a pothead. I'd like to talk to
10:12
Dr. Drew and see how much that
10:14
once a month business he buys from
10:17
Leavitt. Does that really mean once a
10:19
week? There's nobody who does anything who
10:21
says they do it less than what
10:23
they actually do or do more than
10:26
what... It says they do it more.
10:28
You know what I mean? If somebody
10:30
says I do something once in a
10:33
while, they mean about four or five
10:35
times a week. And if they say,
10:37
you know, I smoke pot once a
10:40
month, you can probably swap out month
10:42
for weekend, right? Which is fine. I'm
10:44
not judging. Just say you do. You
10:46
know why? I don't buy once a
10:49
month to me is a liar. If
10:51
you tell me, I smoke pot on
10:53
occasion. Like just a rare occasion, like
10:56
if I'm on vacation, we're hanging out,
10:58
we're in the Bahamas, we're at the
11:00
beach, you're going to see Sex in
11:03
the City, too. Go see Sex in
11:05
City, too, and I eat myself, one
11:07
of those posters, listering, postage stamps and
11:09
freak out. If you say that, I
11:12
buy it. If you say, I smoke
11:14
pot about every weekend, I buy it.
11:16
Once a month is a no man's
11:19
land, where you're not really hanging out
11:21
with Dawson, hanging out with Dawson, and
11:23
you ain't hanging out with Brian. You're
11:26
caught between Dawson and Bryan. You're also
11:28
caught in a lie. Yeah. And the
11:30
moon in New York City. Because it's
11:33
bullshit. If you like, I like, here's
11:35
the thing. I don't really smoke weed
11:37
anymore. So for me, I don't smoke
11:39
weed once a month. I will on
11:42
rare occasion, I'm not judging. I'm just,
11:44
I drink red, red wine. Right. But
11:46
I will smoke weed, but it's not
11:49
once a month. If you smoke it
11:51
once a month and you say once
11:53
a month, you don't even... By the
11:56
way, for people really smoke weed once
11:58
a month, they don't know they smoke
12:00
weed once a month. They would tell
12:02
you a couple times a year. Yeah,
12:05
like if it kind of... if someone
12:07
has it... and you get a wild
12:09
hair. Yeah. You don't really, if you
12:12
don't acquire it. Mm-hmm. I know, it's
12:14
crazy, but it's true. I'm telling you.
12:16
Are they gonna remake this movie? Wow.
12:19
I feel like, I feel like I
12:21
heard that. Alexis Arquette'll star in it.
12:23
I think they are making it with
12:25
Russell Brand. Yes. Oh. And Alexis Arquette
12:28
in the Eliza Manelli Roll. Okay, here's
12:30
a shocking one, and I'll. In a
12:32
live speaking engagement in 2006 and in
12:35
San Francisco, he mentioned that smoking weed
12:37
in high school influenced his comedy. Also,
12:39
you have to consider the source and
12:42
the environment. It's like when a politician
12:44
gets up in front of a bunch
12:46
of guys who are in the labor
12:48
union, they're pro-labor. And when a comedians
12:51
in San Francisco and there's a lot
12:53
of herb going around, you know you're
12:55
going to get a fuck yeah. at
12:58
everyone, then you're weed smoker. If you're
13:00
talking to the Young Republicans Committee and
13:02
you're in Arkansas, then it's not so
13:05
much. You know what I'm saying? You
13:07
have that too. But either way, who
13:09
gives a fuck? Smoke up you want
13:11
to smoke up you don't want to
13:14
smoke up don't smoke up. We should
13:16
stop enforcing everything and stop fucking talking
13:18
about it once and for all Let's
13:21
just move on with our life. Yeah,
13:23
that helps me to round out this
13:25
list because poor Camorra Lee Simmons got
13:28
busted in 2004 for possession She had
13:30
a couple grams of weed in her
13:32
pens. Well, they should lock her up
13:34
and throw away the key just in
13:37
her case. Yes, yes, that's the news.
13:39
She looks like a female impersonator doesn't
13:41
she If you don't listen, remember when
13:44
Lisa Lampinelli was here? And she said
13:46
there's like the five ways you can
13:48
roast women. It's like fat, big vagina,
13:51
uh, slutty. What am I missing? No,
13:53
sleeps around, yeah, the slutty thing. Bloody,
13:55
but you're not old, ugly fat. Yeah.
13:57
And I remember, I realized there's also
14:00
tranny. Right and you know how I
14:02
learned that? Because somebody took the liberty
14:04
of posting on my blog that I
14:07
look like a tranny Really? I never
14:09
even considered I mean I considered a
14:11
lot of flaws But I never that
14:14
one wait was it a hot tranny?
14:16
Well, they had made their name Tranny
14:18
Teresa. It was like a specific person
14:20
that spends a lot of time on
14:23
the internet attacking me in various ways.
14:25
But I hadn't thought of that. And
14:27
I'd be like, oh yeah, that's another
14:30
one because you, on that, on the
14:32
hoft roast, that does come up where
14:34
somebody looks like a tranny. That is
14:37
another way of roasting a woman. Well,
14:39
I'm going to have Donnie settle their
14:41
hash by taking their coffee order later
14:43
on in the day. And I don't
14:46
like, the only thing worse than getting
14:48
the wrong sides to getting the wrong
14:50
sides of that. how you can get
14:53
so frustrated. He even walked away and
14:55
like, he looked at me at Teresa
14:57
and said, you know what, I'm going
15:00
to, I'm going back to get a
15:02
large. He was right, so that's why
15:04
I'm laughing at his frustration. Well, you
15:06
brought me a Dixie Riddle cup filled
15:09
with coffee latte, and I want it
15:11
up, I want it up, I want
15:13
it up. I do, but, and I
15:16
would err on this side of lunch.
15:18
You've only known, been friends, close friends,
15:20
close friends, for, for a coffee in
15:23
the beginning. Well, that's my whole point.
15:25
Why not get the large? That's what
15:27
I'm saying. All right, I'm sorry. All
15:29
right. Here's the other thing too. I
15:32
feel like there's been a lot of
15:34
healing. You don't have to be sorry.
15:36
But you know the part where somebody
15:39
fucks up and then right after they're
15:41
fucked up, they kind of go like,
15:43
yeah, I know. And you think you're
15:46
jumping in the car to go driving.
15:48
You want like a big tall coffee?
15:50
I ordered a large... You did, you're
15:52
right. You're right. You knew it on
15:55
some level. You just decided I didn't
15:57
need it. I think that was... That's
15:59
what happened. Do you think he has
16:02
some... Is there any unconscious... maneuvering going
16:04
on in the mind of Donnie? Everything
16:06
he does is unconscious. I'm subconscious? Oh,
16:09
subconscious. I'm sorry. No, there was an
16:11
element, yes, there's an element. It doesn't
16:13
want you to have too much caffeine?
16:15
This element of I'm ordering a small,
16:18
you drank enough, you're going to order
16:20
small, you're going to get a small
16:22
tea. You've had enough. I need to
16:25
hold over to take a piss. Right.
16:27
It's a big time saver. Right. Saved
16:29
the time. Right. You have to carry
16:32
the larger one and pay for it.
16:34
Yeah. Yeah. You can't take the time
16:36
to say I have a small and
16:38
a large coffee. When you see that?
16:41
That took forever. You think they're both
16:43
ones. Listen, you're on a small roll.
16:45
Right. Don't break it by putting a
16:48
large in there and confusing everybody. No,
16:50
listen, if Donnie was a waiter, he'd
16:52
do that thing. That's my favorite waiter
16:55
move. Brian and then you order sandwich
16:57
too and I'll jump in. I'll take,
16:59
let me get a turkey sandwich, no
17:01
mail please. All right and then the
17:04
lady will be having? Just a BLT?
17:06
With no mail? What the fuck do
17:08
I have to do? I was on
17:11
a mail roll. That's the point. I
17:13
assume that just because we're dining. I
17:15
was thinking about mail. I thought of
17:18
the word mail came into my head.
17:20
He said mail. That's out words. They
17:22
do do that don't think. They get
17:24
on a roll. They get on a
17:27
roll. Yeah, I always laugh thinking, yeah,
17:29
that's where we met. That's a no
17:31
mail comic. Come. All right, we serve.
17:34
I plus your chops because I love
17:36
you. No, I'm just saying, look, it's
17:38
a T. You should take a page,
17:41
actually a rolling paper out of Donnie's
17:43
book. I should. And Donnie, take a
17:45
page out of T's book. Because that's
17:48
where the truth lies. Somewhere in between.
17:50
Walking away laughing doesn't really get you
17:52
anywhere. And committing. suicide over fucking up
17:54
coffee order doesn't get you. Yeah, trying
17:57
too hard and trying not hard enough.
17:59
Little in between. Yeah. All right, where
18:01
are we? Ah, I think Brian Possain
18:04
is here. It's hard to miss him
18:06
out there. No, he's a lot of
18:08
man. I can't believe you haven't had
18:11
sex with him. Well, there is Steve
18:13
Agee. Ooh, Lake is being loved. Pinnacle
18:15
College, by the way. They do video
18:17
games, sound design, and recording, engineer. Engineer.
18:20
I have no idea. They're in North
18:22
Hollywood. You go in. It is a
18:24
nine to 12 month program. Some of
18:27
their graduates graduates, by the way, have
18:29
won Emmys and Grammys and Oscars and
18:31
oh my. Point is is focus people.
18:34
You like video games, you like playing
18:36
with video games, you want to work
18:38
in the lucrative world? I'm guessing those
18:40
aren't going the way, the dodo in
18:43
the next four to six years. I'm
18:45
guessing it's not like making moccasins or
18:47
saddles. design and do sound design on
18:50
video games. But again, it doesn't have
18:52
to just be that. Could be music,
18:54
could be movies, could be television. They're
18:57
offering the first video game sound design
18:59
program. And again, it's just nine to
19:01
12 months. Check them out at Pinnacle

19:10
where they put up on the screen,
19:13
bringing Brian Possain, and then I announce
19:15
I'm going to bring him in in
19:17
a second, but then I do about
19:20
two minutes worth of shuffling around, and
19:22
then he's not around. He's on deck.
19:24
Ah, hi Brian. How are you? Have
19:26
a seat. Good to see you. Good
19:29
to see you. You look, I don't
19:31
only use the word fit. Well for
19:33
me, but for you, you look great.
19:36
Yeah, yeah. And I have a kid
19:38
and I don't want to die on
19:40
him. Oh really? If you die on
19:43
him, he's going, no, no, I'm not
19:45
literally. Yeah. You roll over on that
19:47
kid. He's rolled over. two. 15 months.
19:49
Oh congratulations. And I told you it
19:52
wasn't gay, T. Just because you're over
19:54
six nine and three hundred pounds you
19:56
have an attempt to have sex with
19:59
our team. Assume that everyone in the
20:01
NBA is gay, every power four in
20:03
the NBA is gay. Is that your
20:06
thing, the big fellas? For a while
20:08
there. Yeah. Agee, you know, he's a
20:10
bigger guy. Yes. Did bother me? It
20:12
did not bother me. Although it was,
20:15
I found it, one thing about it,
20:17
creepy, total strangers, even people who are
20:19
kind of on the conservative side, would
20:22
always be curious about his penis size.
20:24
Just because he was so tall? Right.
20:26
They would just ask me, it was
20:29
weird. No, that's a common thing. Is
20:31
it? Yeah, I get that all the
20:33
time. Yeah. Well, they assumed two things.
20:35
They assume you played sports in high
20:38
school. Yes. And then they assume you
20:40
have a big honker. Which neither are
20:42
true. Well, you know what you should
20:45
say now. You should combine your two
20:47
answers and go, no, I did not
20:49
play basketball. My cock was too big.
20:52
And the shorts could not contain them.
20:54
And then the person will be plumb
20:56
out of questions. Yeah. Creeped out, but
20:58
out of questions. So Brian, first off,
21:01
how much weight have you lost? Not
21:03
much yet. Yeah. I think like 10,
21:05
like 10 or 15 or 15. But
21:08
enough for people to people to notice.
21:10
Yeah, and it's weird. How does that
21:12
work? I don't know. Well, because I
21:15
mean, you're so tall. Yeah, 15 pounds
21:17
wouldn't seem like much, but yet I
21:19
noticed. Yeah, but I was such a
21:21
fat fucking fuck. Just any little bit
21:24
helps. Yeah, that happened. And then just
21:26
whenever I work on something like the
21:28
last season of Sarah Silverman, I ballooned
21:31
up. And I think it was just
21:33
being around another huge guy that was
21:35
also eating. Right, shiddily all day. Right,
21:38
playing video games. Yeah, yeah. And Brian,
21:40
the, uh, also the big man-sized lumberjack
21:42
beard. Uh-huh. I mean, almost, it's almost
21:44
like when you, once you make the
21:47
decision to grow that big you almost
21:49
have to grow into the beard. Right.
21:51
So it's, yeah, I think I got
21:54
a little bigger once the beard started
21:56
getting crazier and, yeah, more. And just
21:58
being a big dude, like there's, you
22:01
know, when you're beardless and five, eight
22:03
and small bones, ten pounds seems like
22:05
you've gained a winnebago when you're six,
22:07
big bone, with the big Dan Hagerty
22:10
beard, you can green let yourself go
22:12
for a few months. So how about
22:14
the kid? Let's talk about that. It's
22:17
awesome He's a little guy and I
22:19
just it's been weird because I was
22:21
one of those people thought that I
22:24
would never have a kid and and
22:26
then plus in my stand-up act being
22:28
kind of Negative about kids too sure
22:30
just sort of Changing and then trying
22:33
not to change too much, you know,
22:35
because I don't want to lose your
22:37
eyes who love my my master bedding
22:40
material sure it's tough and what and
22:42
so what being a guy who never
22:44
thought he'd have kids I I sort
22:47
of felt that way to myself and
22:49
I'm wondering where you got your I'm
22:51
one of those guys who's never gonna
22:53
have kids feeling it came from a
22:56
couple of places and I used to
22:58
be so negative like I used to
23:00
do a joke about it but how
23:03
like like When I was young my
23:05
my cousin got his his girlfriend pregnant
23:07
and I was like My family hated
23:10
me because I came out so against
23:12
like oh, you know, how can you
23:14
do that? You know, how can you
23:16
ruin your life? Right That's just the
23:19
way I looked at it. Yeah, I
23:21
was younger and and then I just
23:23
I just never thought it was something
23:26
for me and then I think part
23:28
of it was my last girlfriend before
23:30
my wife Was never going to have
23:33
a kid too so and I was
23:35
going to be one of those people.
23:37
Well the women usually bring the guys
23:39
to it because the guys would be
23:42
in a sort of perpetual holding pattern,
23:44
state of adolescence especially. right doing comedy
23:46
yeah essentially not having a job for
23:49
a living or having a job that
23:51
really didn't involve getting up before noon
23:53
right you just go fuck it and
23:56
a lot of comedians I know Doug
23:58
Benson if you're listening are just in
24:00
this sort of perpetual sort of adolescent
24:03
circling of the airport right and I
24:05
like smoking I like smoking weed I
24:07
like making my own hours I want
24:09
to I want to go to bed
24:12
at 3 30 in the morning I
24:14
want to wake up at 1 in
24:16
the afternoon and I don't want anyone
24:19
taking my money Right. And so you're
24:21
getting this, it's a little self-absorbed and
24:23
it ends up making you funnier. Uh-huh.
24:26
But if you have a woman who's
24:28
like, fuck it, we don't need kids,
24:30
then you're never gonna have kids. You
24:32
kind of need to get with someone
24:35
who goes, hey, I'm not getting any
24:37
younger. Yeah. And my wife was originally
24:39
like on that side, like, well, if
24:42
you don't want to have, you know,
24:44
she didn't want to. There's so many
24:46
things that aren't your idea that are
24:49
great in your life. You know, no
24:51
one really explores that. You know, there's
24:53
a lot of stuff where people say,
24:55
look, you should get married or we
24:58
should get married or I mean, really,
25:00
truth be told, I would probably be
25:02
dating with no kids for the rest
25:05
of my life if you just sort
25:07
of asked me every day. Yeah. If
25:09
you woke me up every Monday morning
25:12
and said... Is this the week you
25:14
get married and shit, I mean, beautifully
25:16
have two children? I would say, no,
25:18
not this week. And then before you
25:21
know it, I would be in my
25:23
80s going, no, not, you know, with
25:25
a stroke cane shaking it. So we're
25:28
going, no, not this week. At some
25:30
point. And it's not like my wife
25:32
suckered me into it or anything. Right.
25:35
Like I was with her forever. before
25:37
she said, you know, you should pull
25:39
the trigger. And we're sort of living
25:41
in a time where guys can get
25:44
away with it. Yeah. Especially stand-up comedians,
25:46
you know, you just announce, I'm not
25:48
the marrying type or my... confirmed bachelor
25:51
whatever you just say I'm a stand-up
25:53
comedian. And it's perfect because you go
25:55
listen you know with my you know
25:58
on the road crazy hours crazy travel
26:00
never knowing your next paycheck comes in
26:02
horing Jesus should have stopped it should
26:04
have stopped it on the road but
26:07
yeah you just go wouldn't work would
26:09
you like me to be a dad
26:11
never never never here and blah blah
26:14
blah blah blah so you have every
26:16
excuse in the world but I love
26:18
the fact that you're digging being a
26:21
dad. Yeah, I'm having a blast and
26:23
and it's real cool. You know, you
26:25
know, Pat and had a kid around
26:27
the same time so it's And then
26:30
I have another really good friend of
26:32
mine whose baby is like a month
26:34
older and then Dave Anthony, another good
26:37
friend of mine. We all had kids
26:39
around the same time. Patent thinks because
26:41
we came home from Comic-Con and we're
26:44
all horny. And we all impregnated our
26:46
wives after looking at Scarlet Johansson and
26:48
the Black Widow costume. And what do?
26:50
Would work. That's what he thinks happened.
26:53
But honestly, birth is cluster around September
26:55
because they're New Year's Eve babies. Right.
26:57
We all came home around August, September,
27:00
and then our kids all came out
27:02
in the spring. And what about the...
27:04
The math works out. The parenting and
27:07
not wanting to have kids. Like I
27:09
came from a shitty family, so I
27:11
kind of understand. My thing but your
27:13
family love you know I have a
27:16
thing that I never really talk about
27:18
But my dad died when I was
27:20
two so I really yeah, so I
27:23
always and that was a big thing
27:25
like I've made fun of for not
27:27
having a dad and Really that was
27:30
part I mean part of why I
27:32
took a lot of hits when I
27:34
was a kid was my looks, but
27:36
it was also Well raised by a
27:39
single mom and and we didn't have
27:41
money and what were your look all
27:43
right I was the poor kid poor
27:46
kid and then also skinny and weird
27:48
and then tried to be funny right
27:50
and people didn't think I was funny
27:53
initially. How did your dad die? They
27:55
don't know if your funny is the
27:57
problem right right but then by senior
27:59
in high school I'd turn it all
28:02
around I was like the DJ and.
28:04
has been cast by then. Now where
28:06
is this growing up? Northern California, Sonoma.
28:09
And the mean streets of Sonoma. Yeah.
28:11
Well I came from San Jose. I
28:13
moved from a city when I was
28:16
nine years old and then moved up
28:18
to Sonoma and you'd think... like the
28:20
country kids would be cool right you
28:22
think it would be the reverse but
28:25
it was brutal and old picture yeah
28:27
yeah after your dad died hitting his
28:29
head on a door jam it must
28:32
have been difficult no how what happened
28:34
with blood disease and just like some
28:36
crazy like soap opera disease that just
28:39
like they tell you you're gonna die
28:41
and then you die and it and
28:43
it age it's always a tragedy but
28:45
it too do you remember much of
28:48
it but But you just grow up
28:50
kind of knowing there's a hole. Right.
28:52
Knowing that you're not like the other
28:55
kids. Sure. And seeing that you're not
28:57
like the other kids. And then the
28:59
kids reminding you constantly that you're not
29:02
like them. So they really were cruel
29:04
about it. Yeah. Oh yeah. I had
29:06
kids like a kid was making fun
29:08
of me and I go, well my
29:11
dad's dead. And he goes, well, dig
29:13
them up. Fifth grade. And then I
29:15
want to hit that kid in the
29:18
face. Oh yeah. Yeah. So yeah I
29:20
don't know why my mom didn't flip
29:22
out and kill all these kids. And
29:25
how much your mom was poor? Yeah
29:27
well single mom going to school and
29:29
then working for the state. Right. So
29:31
and not poor but not. And how
29:34
do you know how hard it is
29:36
with two parents to raise a kid?
29:38
Can you now do you have new
29:41
appreciation for your mom? Yeah. Oh yeah.
29:43
How did your mom how was your
29:45
relationship with your mom? Really good when
29:48
I was young and then I went
29:50
through the rebellious thing and then I
29:52
kind of blamed her when I was
29:54
when I when I got picked on
29:57
so much right I had a lot
29:59
of resentment and then I would come
30:01
home and you know well I mean
30:04
I had kids calling me fagget and
30:06
throwing stuff at me like I didn't
30:08
defend you. No and I came home
30:11
and I would complain about it and
30:13
she'd go oh kids called me giraffe
30:15
and I'm like giraffe is not the
30:17
same as fagget. Right. She was a
30:20
six foot lady growing up in the
30:22
50s. Sure. So she got some grief.
30:24
I mean it's a thing that I
30:27
marvel at. I mean it's it's it's
30:29
it's it's sad. that you're jealous when
30:31
you turn on the news and they
30:34
got the fifteen-year-old black kid with a
30:36
shirt off and his pants down he's
30:38
being pushed in the back of an
30:41
LAPD car and you see that huge
30:43
black mama like banging on the gate
30:45
the project you let me add him
30:47
you get away from my baby and
30:50
I think myself wow I wish I
30:52
had that mom my mom would have
30:54
done that no you're staying there I'm
30:57
would have never done shit she would
30:59
have been in the house but I
31:01
so I wonder if and your mom
31:04
and your mom must have been uh...
31:06
obviously going to school working being burdened
31:08
by not having a lot of help
31:10
a lot of money have a right
31:13
right a widow blah blah blah see
31:15
i have i believe that you sort
31:17
of see life and and have experiences
31:20
sort of through the filter of your
31:22
your childhood right and so whatever you
31:24
were to your parents well then you
31:27
think potentially your kids are going to
31:29
be to you and my parents treated
31:31
their kids like a royal pain in
31:33
the ass. Like just like, oh god
31:36
damn, you want to ride where? Oh,
31:38
it's going to cost what? What? You
31:40
want $12 for a windbreaker that says
31:43
East Valley Trojans on it? Please, we're
31:45
not made of money. Like everything, everything
31:47
was meant with an exhale. Like, ah.
31:50
So I just grew up thinking, wow,
31:52
kids got to be the world's biggest.
31:54
bummer. I just saw what a pain
31:56
in the ass was right my parents
31:59
were just exhaling and meanwhile they never
32:01
enjoyed any they never went any the
32:03
football games or thought anything was good
32:06
so none of the positive all of
32:08
the negative means well kids suck they
32:10
take your money right you get no
32:13
enjoyment from them and actually you know
32:15
they want to ride fan eyes to
32:17
ham, their buddy Teddy. It's such a
32:19
bummer. So I got that and I
32:22
just thought why would anyone want kids?
32:24
Well see I thought I would die
32:26
as soon as I had a kid.
32:29
Oh well that's even worse. Like I
32:31
grew up with that going why have
32:33
a kid because I'm just going to
32:36
die on them right? It's obviously this
32:38
runs on the family even though I
32:40
had nothing to base that on. I
32:42
would have been only the second one.
32:45
Right, interesting, yeah. So it is nice,
32:47
it feels good that you were led
32:49
to that you were led to that
32:52
that intimacy to that intimacy. and that
32:54
even against what would have been your
32:56
wishes. Yeah, well I feel like I
32:59
did a lot of growing up in
33:01
the last 10 years and not just
33:03
from my wife but just all the
33:05
way around, just you know, and I
33:08
just sort of fell into it or
33:10
it made more sense as I'm... you
33:12
know acting more like an adult even
33:15
though I'm wearing short pants. And I
33:17
got high in the afternoon. I'm still
33:19
totally an adult for compared to who
33:22
I am and compared to most comedians
33:24
and most of my friends. They must
33:26
be kind of a beautiful experience having
33:28
never had really a father to be
33:31
one. Oh it is. Yeah yeah it's
33:33
it's already really cool and the one
33:35
thing I'm loving and he's totally obsessed
33:38
with me and oh really oh yeah
33:40
like she does the the high dad
33:42
thing and he doesn't say hi mama
33:45
and so it's hilarious because it puns
33:47
my wife so like I've got this
33:49
thing to kind of hold it's like
33:51
living with the brawny man or the
33:54
big guy who'd be out in front
33:56
of the tire store the big giant
33:58
fiberglass guy holding up the tires or
34:01
something like that you know like living
34:03
with the you know a netty or
34:05
something I mean it's very exciting is
34:08
it for a kid you know to
34:10
have a big lumber jacket in there.
34:12
How fun of that be! You wouldn't
34:14
want that to be in there. Yeah,
34:17
he pulls on it constantly. Right? He
34:19
loves the beard. Yeah. But I think
34:21
the big thing that plays into it
34:24
is that I've been gone. I was
34:26
like gone a hundred days of his
34:28
first year. You're on the road. Yeah,
34:31
so... when I'm there, like my wife's
34:33
there every single day. Right. So I'm
34:35
more of a, like he doesn't know
34:37
when he gets up if I'm going
34:40
to be there or not. So, and
34:42
then when I show up, it's like
34:44
a total surprise. The, uh, by the
34:47
way, name of the new album is
34:49
called Fartin Wiener Jokes. Yes. On iTunes,
34:51
Amazon. And Brian's website, by the way,
34:54
you can get him at Brian Posane.
34:56
You guys in the mood for this?
34:58
People call up... They throw out a
35:00
title and we just basically make up
35:03
a movie around the title. So it's
35:05
a challenge, but we usually land on
35:07
our feet. According to an ancient Mayan
35:10
prophecy in the year 2010, a hero
35:12
would rise to turn your movie titles.
35:14
into blockbusters. That hero is Adam Corolla.
35:17
Boy, that could be good. And this
35:19
is made a movie. All right, I
35:21
have no idea what's going on with
35:23
the phones, but I'm assuming you're not
35:26
plugged in or ready to go, but
35:28
I'll give it a try. Hey, Ray?
35:30
Doni's got to hit something. All right.
35:33
Something's wrong with the phones here, Weiser.
35:35
Let's see if that works. Ray? Hayden?
35:37
Or didn't one just drop off and
35:40
switch over? All right. I don't think
35:42
this thing's going to work. Donnie's going
35:44
to fix. Something's wrong with the phone
35:46
lines, which we normally don't prepare before
35:49
we do phone calls for people phone
35:51
in. But, I don't know. Donnie can
35:53
try it. Yeah,
35:56
see now what happened on phones?
35:59
I don't know if it's plugged
36:01
in. We know we're going to
36:04
take phone calls, Donnie? Yeah? Yeah.
36:06
All right, but don't kick yourself
36:08
in the ass, that's an important
36:11
part. Well, he was in immediately.
36:13
All right. Is it all right?
36:15
The response time was pretty impressive.
36:18
Pretty good response time. Nothing wrong.
36:20
All right. Give it a try.
36:22
All right, you ready to try
36:25
alone? Mm-hmm. All right. Do not
36:27
beat yourself up. That's important part.
36:29
Let's laugh it off. There you
36:32
go. Hey, Michael? Mike? It's great.
36:34
We have a Michael in the
36:36
mics. It's actually confusing. Well, we
36:39
have the titles. We have the
36:41
titles. Yeah. All right, let me
36:44
try it. Ella? That's funny when
36:46
they do it. Ella? All right.
36:48
Now listen, fuck it. We knew
36:51
we were going to try to
36:53
take phone calls, right? Oh, there's
36:55
the car. Oh, did I do
36:58
it? No. It doesn't. I kick
37:00
it loose. It doesn't hook in.
37:02
Saw Squatch walked in, he didn't
37:05
kick it loose. All right. There,
37:07
we're good now. All right. Hey,
37:09
Michael? That was not a drop.
37:12
Yo. We do know when we're
37:14
going to take phone calls, all
37:16
right? Yeah? No. No, we can
37:19
make a meeting. Maybe thought people
37:21
are going to walk in the
37:23
titles like they normally do. Alright,
37:26
sorry. Michael? Yo, what's going on?
37:28
How are you? Good. I'm a
37:31
big fan, first of all, want
37:33
to say. Thanks, Michael. Do you
37:35
have a title of a movie
37:38
you like? Yeah, try this on
37:40
Misfortune Cookies. Misfortune cookies. Run with
37:42
it. Jackie Chan and Jetli. Yeah.
37:45
Oh wait, yes, you were jagged
37:47
and gently, they're hit men and
37:49
they get, they're on the Yakuza
37:52
and they get their like the
37:54
next assignment the next hit yeah
37:56
fortune cookie oh it's that way
37:59
they have just about all knowledge
38:01
of having gotten do you know
38:03
right right and jet league it's
38:06
a cookie that tells him he
38:08
has to kill Jackie Chan gets
38:11
the same cookie about jet league
38:13
right yeah and it's uh pretty's
38:15
honor Right and it's it's and
38:18
so it there's comedy but there's
38:20
also action and pathos in it.
38:22
Yes, of course. And then it's
38:25
got heart. It's got a lot
38:27
of heart. It's got a lot
38:29
of heart. One of them's gonna
38:32
have to have like a kid?
38:34
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'll tell you
38:36
what. Jackie Chan is a beautiful
38:39
Eurasia. Eurasian daughter Jet Lee wants
38:41
to is dating her yes and
38:43
and but behind Jackie's back he
38:46
doesn't know it right but in
38:48
a second act certain point this
38:51
where the heart comes out he
38:53
finds out she's pregnant with Jet's
38:55
kid right little Cessna like she
38:58
dated a kid if you're Jet
39:00
late right sure single engine Piper
39:02
Cup so the point is this
39:05
point is he can't kill him
39:07
now because you're essentially killing The
39:09
father of your grandchild. Yeah, that's
39:12
where that's where it gets but
39:14
tons of tons of action tons
39:16
of intrigue Now that at the
39:19
end they both kill the guy
39:21
that set them both up. Yeah
39:23
fine the guy team up course
39:26
set set them both up. Yeah
39:28
And maybe that's Ray Leota. Maybe
39:31
Ray Leota did that. And I
39:33
think it has to end with
39:35
something funny happening at the wedding
39:38
of the pregnant gal. Yeah, sure.
39:40
You know, she's pregnant at the
39:42
wedding. Right. I can't remember which
39:45
one is her daughter. Jackie Chan's
39:47
daughter. Yeah. He walks her down
39:49
the aisle. Right. Yeah. And there's
39:52
a, yeah, there's a crazy, something
39:54
hilarious happens. Something hilarious happens. Something
39:56
hilarious happens. I think that's funny
39:59
is almost everybody on the bride
40:01
and groom's side is a third
40:03
degree blackball. Right, of course. So
40:06
it's just, oh, here's the comedy.
40:08
Here's what happens. Some bumbling sort
40:10
of gangbanger, so that's multi-racial. But
40:13
that we set up earlier, like
40:15
in a B story. Yeah, they're
40:18
like stoner gangbangers and they stumble
40:20
onto this wedding and they're like
40:22
easy pickins. Lots of guys in
40:25
their big fat wallets, lots of
40:27
old men. and it just turns
40:29
into a crazy kung-foo thing where they just
40:31
whip the shit out all these gangbanger guys to
40:34
show up. They think they're going to get in
40:36
there and grab all the cash at the wedding
40:38
and grab the cake. But everyone, the black belt,
40:40
and most hilariously, the old people and the kids.
40:43
And the bride. And the bride feels herself as
40:45
a hit man. What a woman. And by the
40:47
way, just for the closing credits? Yes. For the
40:49
closing credits, can they all be like you
40:51
open the Fortune cookie and then directed by
40:53
her? Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. Bost open the
40:56
cookie. Yes. Can they. Yeah. Can they. That's
40:58
it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's
41:00
it. That's it. That's it. That's it. Oh,
41:02
this is going to be good. Misfortune cookie.
41:04
I like that. All right, let's talk to
41:07
Mike, Mike. Adam. What he got for us
41:09
in the made-up movie department.
41:11
All right, Adam, here you
41:13
go. I'm thinking, conjoined twins,
41:15
separate mother, separate mother,
41:18
separate father, Mike, Mike. You have
41:20
to give the title and we tell
41:22
you the name of the movie. You
41:24
give us the title of movie. We
41:27
just tried these goals. Yeah. I
41:29
mean does he want to give
41:31
us the plot and we give
41:33
him the title because there's
41:35
no reason we couldn't
41:37
do that. We're going to break
41:39
down. I got a fire call
41:42
straight. Give us the name of
41:44
the movie. Salt and pepper. All
41:46
right I got it. Conjoined twins.
41:48
Yeah, different mother. One
41:50
black, one white. Yeah, it's
41:53
Tracy Jordan and Seth Rogan.
41:55
I always called by his
41:57
character. Right. Tracy Jordan. Oh,
41:59
sure. Yeah, what a racist
42:01
ass hole. Yeah, I'm just assol.
42:03
Yeah. But, or just racist. But
42:06
either way, yeah, they're conjoined. Yeah,
42:08
they had a black father and
42:10
a white mother and it just
42:13
turned out this way. This is
42:15
awesome. They have to learn from
42:17
each other. The father and the
42:19
mother. We got against them, right?
42:21
That's a good point. Let's
42:24
make, let's say, let's make
42:26
the mother Sicily Tyson. I
42:28
see that she's a she's an older
42:30
all right we got to go
42:32
right dad is a hero doing
42:34
another hilarious part well that well
42:37
denier is believable I have to
42:39
be funny that's a big more
42:41
of a herald ramus type just
42:43
because he played his dad
42:46
already and knocked up if herald
42:48
ramus and now how about this
42:50
Robert Downey Jr as a black
42:52
woman oh my god there we
42:55
go yeah Now we got something
42:57
going on, right? And now do
42:59
we have Tracy, sort of the
43:01
studious one, who's a little more
43:03
uptight, and for some reason, even
43:06
though... But now they didn't know
43:08
each other growing up, right? Now
43:10
they're together in the first half?
43:12
They're conjoined. Oh, they're
43:15
literally came out of Mama
43:17
that way. Yeah, may I just
43:19
say, I think they should have
43:21
a sister, and I would like
43:23
to cast... Cardussian. Right. Yeah. She'd be fun? Yeah. She'd
43:25
be fun? Yeah, we have her in there as the sister. But what
43:27
happens on page 15? She'd be fun. What's the conflict? I mean, what,
43:29
uh? They want to be separated and a doctor, a doctor finally, you
43:31
know, like, there always seem to be a... Hold on. They don't have
43:33
the money. They've got to raise the money. And in the end,
43:35
do they really want to be separate? Because one of something else,
43:37
like, like, like, Seth, Seth, Seth, Seth, Robert, Robert, Robert, he wants to
43:39
be a, like, Seth, Seth, he wants to be a, Seth, he wants
43:41
to be a, like, Seth, Seth, he wants to be a, like, Seth, Seth,
43:44
Seth, he wants to be, he wants to be a,
43:46
like, like, Seth, Seth, he wants to, Seth, he
43:48
wants to, he wants to, he wants to, he
43:50
wants to, like, like, Right, or something. Yes, so
43:52
they have to raise the money. What are they
43:55
going to do to get the money? Because insurance
43:57
will not cover the separation of conjoined twins. Greatest
43:59
liberties ever. They don't. They take to the Paul.
44:01
They take to the Paul. They take to the
44:03
Paul. Just realize you're playing
44:05
song, Peble. Took me a second.
44:07
Yes, it must become exotic male
44:09
dancers. Exactly. And they used to
44:11
have any and ivory. Right, right.
44:13
And there's a lot of hijinks
44:15
like in the commercial where they're
44:18
on the edge of the stage
44:20
at the bachelor party. They both
44:22
just go ass over tea kettle into
44:24
the front. Right. And of course, we'll
44:26
have to have the Michael Jackson Black
44:28
or White song. Right. Right. And then
44:31
one of them like takes like a
44:33
drug that they're, you know, like for
44:35
that they have an allergy to. Right.
44:37
he's going for a job interview. Right,
44:39
yeah, yeah. The job, they're total lightweight.
44:41
Like Seth Rogan's a huge stoner, but
44:44
Tracy Morgan, you just give half of
44:46
one of Sarah Silmarin's pot brownies and
44:48
he's fucking three sheets for the next
44:50
two days. Exactly. So he, it goes
44:52
through his system as well. Now there
44:54
needs to be a. They both fall
44:57
in love with Halley Barry and claim her
44:59
as their own. Now do they meet
45:01
her at one of these strip clubs?
45:03
She reluctantly goes along to one
45:05
of her friend's bachelorette parties. That's
45:07
the thing. And they both see
45:10
her exactly between the two of
45:12
them. Like she's come on, she's
45:14
black, she's white, what are you
45:16
talking about? She's mine, no, she's
45:19
not, right? So then, so how
45:21
does it end, does it end
45:23
with them getting back together to
45:25
sleep with her forever? They get
45:27
rejoined? They're separated. Right. The conjoined
45:30
twins. But before, there's a crazy,
45:32
one of the funniest scenes ever
45:34
put to film where Lisa Lampinelli
45:36
fucks the shit out of Tracy
45:38
Morgan. Oh yeah. And it's just,
45:40
while she's attached to Seth Rogan
45:42
and it's just insane and stuff
45:44
being knocked over and a Chinese
45:46
kid lighting firecrackers in the room.
45:48
It's total. Total and say mostly
45:50
improvised but a crazy and sexy
45:52
and trying to talk to his
45:54
mom on at the same time
45:56
on the phone while Tracy's having
45:58
sex with Lisa But Wayne's brothers
46:01
have made worse movies. Absolutely.
46:03
With my worst premises. Absolutely. And
46:05
there's a really disgusting, funny sort
46:07
of everyone. There's something about Mary
46:10
sort of scene where Tracy pulls
46:12
out when he's banging Lisa Lampinelli
46:14
from behind and at the last
46:17
second goes, oh baby, I'm going
46:19
to come all over your back.
46:21
And Lisa smacks him and it
46:23
goes all over. Rogan. Rogan's
46:26
hair. Yeah, like it's like, oh
46:28
dude, it's covered with his own.
46:30
Slimed again, yeah. I didn't know
46:33
all that. All right, I like
46:35
this. By the way, any of
46:37
these movies could be made by
46:40
Hollywood. I'm all for it. Hey, Mike?
46:42
Yeah. Well we had Mike and
46:44
a Michael and a Mike. This
46:46
is Mike. What's happening, Mike?
46:48
Where are you calling from?
46:50
I'm calling from New Hampshire.
46:53
Hey, yeah. We'll never come
46:55
to New Hampshire and do
46:57
comedy, so I'm going to be
46:59
honest with you. I'm only an
47:02
hour north of Boston. Oh, we're
47:04
coming to Boston to do comedy,
47:06
so enjoy. I shall. What's up?
47:08
I'm going to give a made-up
47:11
movie title. This is perhaps a
47:13
character piece called The Bird Feeder.
47:15
Oh, yeah. I have an idea.
47:17
What do you got? I think
47:19
it's a word, really. How about
47:22
Russell Crow is the silent? For
47:24
the first half of the movie, no
47:26
words. Like the piano. Yeah.
47:28
Like Wally. Jane Campion. Yeah.
47:30
He's a quiet, what they think
47:33
is a simple man. Like Boo
47:35
Radley. Yeah. Who's that? He's a
47:37
guy in To Kill a Mockingbird. From
47:39
a book. Yeah. He killed that
47:41
bird. But that bird made into
47:43
a movie, so that's a chance
47:45
he could be familiar. Oh, we
47:47
had that song. That black guy
47:49
used to sing about him. Bo
47:51
Radley, Boley, Boley. Is that a
47:53
thing he only knows the movie?
47:55
He's played by Robert Duval. I'm
47:58
thinking of Bo Diddley. Bonos.
48:00
Bonos. Bonos. Bonos literature. The
48:02
point is this. He, so Russell
48:05
Crow plays a simple man. It's
48:07
a 19, it's a period piece, but
48:09
it's from the 50s. It's a
48:12
very simple man from the 50s
48:14
and he works on a huge
48:16
estate and his job and he's
48:18
a groundskeeper. Where's overalls? And
48:21
he quietly just tends his
48:23
business. But there's a lot
48:25
of those scenes where like
48:27
he's in the yard refilling
48:29
the. Humming bird feeder. He takes
48:31
care of the bird. And he's up
48:34
on his A-frame ladder and he
48:36
sees through the window. What's going
48:38
on? Ah, a little bit Hitchcock.
48:40
Yeah, he can see where we
48:42
see the world through his eyes.
48:44
Like most of the movies are
48:46
about the people that are the
48:48
focal point. The rich guy, the
48:50
industrialist who is the head of
48:52
the house and the matriarch. of the
48:54
house and so and so
48:56
forth. But this is through
48:58
the eyes of one of
49:01
the silent people. An outsider.
49:03
An outsider. An outsider. Right,
49:05
right. Just because, the most
49:07
observant person. Just because he
49:09
doesn't talk. Right. Now, bird's
49:11
eye view. Bird's eye view.
49:13
Starts up a relationship with
49:15
the polio stricken daughter of
49:17
this couple. She's nine. She's
49:19
nine as full blown polio.
49:21
She likes him. And she's friends. And
49:23
she reaches out to him. She's
49:25
the only one who'll, she goes
49:27
around a wheelchair with a blanket
49:30
on her legs, like FDR. And she
49:32
asks about the birds. Uh-huh. She's
49:34
the only one who ever asked him.
49:36
Yeah, yeah. Questions. Yeah. And he's
49:38
a little suspicious, but he opens
49:41
up to her. And we see, there's
49:43
a moment, there's a pivotal
49:45
moment when one of the birds falls
49:47
out of the nest, lands on the
49:49
ground, she picks up the bird and
49:51
snaps its neck its neck quickly. and
49:54
says the bird will be shunned by the
49:56
mother once it smells the presence of the
49:58
human. Does this foreshadow? going to
50:00
happen? Yes, but him explaining it's
50:02
the humane thing to do, but
50:05
her being raped out, but it
50:07
lets the audience know he'll do
50:09
what something's going to happen. He'll
50:11
do what needs to be done,
50:13
if it needs to be done,
50:16
to protect her. I think that's
50:18
what's going to have. I think
50:20
he's going to protect her because
50:22
that's the only person who he's
50:24
close to. Right, right. And then
50:27
we start to realize that the
50:29
father again all through the eye
50:31
of the simpleton groundsman known as
50:33
a Russell Crow that he's a
50:35
philanderer that he's abusive that he's
50:37
a drinker. I mean he's essentially
50:40
Pat Noswold. Wow. That would be
50:42
a pefy role for him. Yeah
50:44
that'd be good. Well he proved
50:46
himself with big fans. He absolutely
50:48
did. He can go dark. He
50:51
was great in that. It was
50:53
a very enjoyable movie. I just
50:55
saw that on cable recently. So
50:57
uh... But we'll probably go for
50:59
a guy, you know, we'll go
51:02
for a Pierce-Prussian. The studio's not
51:04
going to sign off. Yeah, they're
51:06
not going to sign off on
51:08
patent. Not with this kind of
51:10
budget. Pierce-Prussian is the guy that
51:13
will go for that. All right.
51:15
Yeah, and he's very cruel. And
51:17
at a certain point, he's going
51:19
to send Emily, his beloved nine-year-old.
51:21
He really wants, ah, you know
51:23
what? He's not a biological dad.
51:26
He's a biological dad. And he
51:28
wants her sent off to some
51:30
sort of camp somewhere so that
51:32
he can get the home and
51:34
be running in the home because
51:37
she's the benefactor. Well, I think
51:39
he's going to send her to
51:41
an institution for people with polio
51:43
because he's embarrassed to have her
51:45
around. Ah, how about this? Let's
51:48
go darker. She's the benefactor of
51:50
this sprawling estate. Yeah, so he's
51:52
going to kill her. And he's
51:54
poisoning her. He's going to kill
51:56
her. And at some point, the
51:59
bird feeder. settle his hash step
52:01
in. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's
52:03
dark. And then he snaps piers
52:05
for us in his neck. Right.
52:07
Yeah. Just like he did the
52:09
bird. Yeah. He has that weird
52:12
quiet guy, groundsman's strength. Right. I
52:14
don't know why the grounds keepers.
52:16
It's the tandem. Well, yeah. Yeah.
52:18
Yeah. It's like Lening of Mice
52:20
and Men. Yeah, it's a hit.
52:23
Yeah, I don't know that dude
52:25
either, but cool. Is it due
52:27
for Motorhead? Lenny? Of Mice and
52:29
Men? Yeah, the Steinbeck? The Steinbeck?
52:31
You know, right? That guy should
52:34
make the pianos. They made that
52:36
into a movie too. Uh, well
52:38
they made one in black and
52:40
white and then one in gold.
52:42
Now, yeah, is this a dude?
52:45
There's a broader head? No, however.
52:47
Did Anthony Edwards do a version
52:49
of mice in there? Did he?
52:51
Mm-hmm. Gary Siniz did one of
52:53
them. Oh, okay. And, um, oh
52:55
gosh, well, John Knox was funny.
52:58
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But speaking of- You
53:00
didn't see that? You didn't see
53:02
that one? I just know motorhead,
53:04
I never caught him when I
53:06
came into town. But Lemme, seems
53:09
like an awesome dish. Yeah, he's
53:11
always at the Rainbow. Yeah, you
53:13
can smell him when you drive
53:15
fast. This is one of Brian's
53:17
passions is the metal. Oh, thrash
53:20
metal. Oh, all right. Hey, we
53:22
have a little clip from Brian's
53:24
album, by the way. Part two
53:26
of the news. Should we hear
53:28
a little clip? Yeah. Fart and
53:31
Wiener Jokes, this is off Brian
53:33
Possain's new album. Let's hear it.
53:35
Oh, this is the gambler. Oh,
53:37
the gambler, that's right, the remake
53:39
of the gambler. Yeah, smart. This
53:41
song was asking to be met
53:44
all this whole time. We never
53:46
thought about it, yeah. until war
53:48
to overtook us and he began
53:50
to speak. He said, son, I
53:52
made a lot of, out of
53:55
reading people's faces and knowing what
53:57
the cars were. Don't
54:51
you sign up on it. You'd
54:54
be like, uh, cancel my classic
54:56
surgery this morning. I want to
54:58
hear this post-ane song. Yeah. Well,
55:01
don't they have to, I don't
55:03
know, when you, when you, uh,
55:05
re-record something, I think somebody has
55:08
to approve it. Yeah, I guess
55:10
they do. I would have liked
55:12
a coward of the county or,
55:15
let's see, a ruby. Ruby. I
55:17
mean, don't take your love to
55:19
town. That's next. Have you ever
55:22
really broken down the lyrics to
55:24
Ruby, don't take your love to
55:26
town? Well, she's a whore, right?
55:29
Well, not really by trade, but
55:31
she has to because she's a
55:33
young woman and she needs, she
55:36
has needs that aren't being satisfied
55:38
by him because he was broken
55:40
down in Korea, I believe. He
55:42
was left bent and twisted by
55:45
the Asianic war. Do you have
55:47
that song, right? If you really
55:49
listen to the lyrics here, it's
55:52
quite a... it starts off. You
55:54
painted up your lips and rolling
55:56
curls your tended hands. Yeah, she's
55:59
pouring herself up. He's good. He's
56:01
good. He's good. All right, so
56:03
she put the curlers on and
56:06
painted up her face. Right, so
56:08
she put the curlers on and
56:10
painted up her face. Right. Now
56:13
it's getting dark and she's heading
56:15
into town. So far... You know,
56:17
so good, it's all right. Yeah,
56:20
not a subtle bummer yet. Yeah,
56:22
maybe there's a nice Trader Joe's
56:24
or something. Yeah, I don't know
56:27
why, she's going to town, and
56:29
now we find out. Just go
56:31
out and take her love with
56:34
it. Then start that crazy Asian
56:36
war. But I was proud to
56:38
go into my patriotic show. I
56:41
got drafted anyway. She's proud, yeah.
56:43
You're proud. Yes, it's true that
56:45
I'm not the man I used
56:47
to be. To me, that means
56:50
he can't perform. Right. Yeah. He
56:52
can't satisfy his younger wife. You
56:54
know, he's not what he was,
56:57
but he still needs to need
56:59
some company. He'll need some company.
57:01
Right. It's a good man. It's
57:04
a patriot. It's hard to know
57:06
if a man whose legs have
57:08
been in paralyzed. I
57:14
like this part. I have longed
57:16
until he's dead. Everybody's dead. Everybody's
57:19
counting the day. It's a nice
57:21
way to say it. I like
57:23
this part. I've longed till he's
57:26
dead. Yeah. Everybody's counting the day.
57:28
Right. It's quietly when the most
57:31
depressing TV in the world. Our
57:33
nation's hero. Yeah. He's basically banging
57:35
his young wife not to go
57:38
fuck some strangers to town. She's
57:40
splitting. Turns out he has another
57:43
side to him too. She does
57:45
another side to him too. She
57:47
does a lot of... and that
57:50
was just this week, so she
57:52
does a lot of fucking in
57:54
town. And if I could move,
57:57
I'd get my guy... And put
57:59
her in the ground. He put
58:02
her in the ground if he
58:04
could move. I can't move. Lucky
58:06
for her. Yeah. I know. If
58:09
you want to hang around with
58:11
a guy, want to put you
58:14
in the ground? Maybe that's why
58:16
she takes her love to town.
58:18
Don't take her love. Yeah, I'd
58:21
move my love into town too
58:23
if I was going to be
58:26
putting the ground. And I love
58:28
that the song is so cheery
58:30
sounding too. Yeah, it's like, hey,
58:33
yeah, it sounds like a sial
58:35
commercial. Yeah, you kind of want
58:38
the backup vocals to go, wait,
58:40
what did you say? You're going
58:42
to put in the ground? wife's
58:45
guy going to go in town
58:47
and fuck. Yeah, I'm gonna play
58:50
Rudy again. Isn't a beat ditty
58:52
about a paralyzed guy whose wife
58:54
is a whore? Yeah, yeah. Had
58:57
to be weird when the guy
58:59
who just did the drum track
59:01
for it, the session musician who
59:04
laid it down months earlier. That's
59:06
for Kenny Rogers song. He probably
59:09
thought it was another, you know,
59:11
a foot snapper. Yeah, so then
59:13
his dad thinks that oh, it's
59:16
singing about him. Yeah, then he
59:18
gets into some trouble at home
59:21
And it's just a session drummer.
59:23
Yeah, I did write that but
59:25
but you know I just tell
59:28
a family story in Korea. Mother's
59:30
a whore now Yeah, well, there
59:33
is it's funny bring that up.
59:35
Do you have the coward of
59:37
the county? All right, we'll work
59:40
on that. Yeah, that one's a
59:42
bummer too, right. Well, not only
59:45
that but you know, you know,
59:47
She's gang raped by the Gatlin
59:49
Brothers. Oh, I thought about that.
59:52
That happens in the lyrics? Well,
59:54
the thing that's nutty about the
59:57
coward of the county. And Lucile's
59:59
a bummer, too, like, right? Every
1:00:01
song he quietly sings, except for
1:00:04
Islands in the stream, is a
1:00:06
bummer. Wait, what happens in Lucile?
1:00:09
There's some grief going on, I
1:00:11
can't remember. Yeah. No. And Lucille's
1:00:13
got 18 kids or something. Yeah,
1:00:16
it's already done. You can work
1:00:18
the lyrics out to Lucille. Yeah.
1:00:20
Yella. That was kind of like
1:00:23
Possains growing up, right? No dad.
1:00:25
Everyone thought you have the counter
1:00:28
to the counter? Yeah, sure. Well,
1:00:30
at least reddish. Yeah. Redish yellow?
1:00:32
Yeah. Because he was my brother's
1:00:35
son. Oh, so he's the uncle.
1:00:37
I still recall the final words.
1:00:40
Brothers said, Tommy, son, my life
1:00:42
is over, but yours is just
1:00:44
begun. So,
1:00:48
uh... Before the chorus. The dad,
1:00:50
yeah, the dad died in the
1:00:53
joint. By the way, I didn't
1:00:55
fuck with kids whose dad died
1:00:57
in the joint. Right. That was
1:00:59
my policy? No, I would picking
1:01:02
on people. I feel like it's
1:01:04
a pretty scrappy kid who's seen
1:01:06
a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Dad probably
1:01:09
taught him how to make a
1:01:11
shank. Yeah. Yeah. I see the
1:01:13
guy with the teardrop tattoo next
1:01:15
to the teard. She
1:01:19
loved Becky. She loved him
1:01:21
for who he was. Yeah,
1:01:23
yeah, exactly. She didn't care
1:01:25
about his, that his dad,
1:01:27
that person. Cantlin boys came
1:01:30
a call. They took turns
1:01:32
at Becky. Wait. There were
1:01:34
three of them. They took
1:01:36
turns at Becky. They took
1:01:38
turns at Becky. There were
1:01:40
three of them. The only
1:01:42
girl he loved was the
1:01:44
only girl that the only
1:01:46
girl he loved was affected
1:01:48
and loved him back. Yeah,
1:01:51
she has dad died in
1:01:53
prison. She liked him. for
1:01:55
what he was. Everyone else
1:01:57
knew he was yeller. Right,
1:01:59
right. And evidently a pussy.
1:02:01
Okay. Becky saw him for
1:02:03
what he was and she
1:02:05
loved it. And then his
1:02:07
Gatling brothers came along. They
1:02:09
had had her. They had
1:02:12
at her. They each took
1:02:14
turns. They each took turns
1:02:16
and there were three. And
1:02:18
when he stopped he goes.
1:02:20
And there were three of
1:02:22
them. Wow. Gross. Gross. And
1:02:24
the best part about this
1:02:26
whole story is when I
1:02:28
interviewed Kenny Roberts. Kenny Rogers
1:02:30
was a motorcycle race from
1:02:32
the 70s. Kenny Rogers. I
1:02:35
said, there was an act
1:02:37
called The Gatlin Brothers. They
1:02:39
were pretty famous around your
1:02:41
time. He's like, yeah, I
1:02:43
know. I toured with them
1:02:45
many years. I'm like, were
1:02:47
they rapist? How many Gatlin
1:02:49
brothers were there? There were
1:02:51
three of them. So when
1:02:53
you talked about the gang
1:02:56
rapist named the Gatlin brothers
1:02:58
when there were three of
1:03:00
them and you were touring
1:03:02
with the Gatlin brothers, didn't
1:03:04
you pause and go into
1:03:06
making the Johnson brothers and
1:03:08
making four of them or
1:03:10
making the Baldwin brothers and
1:03:12
making six of them? Like
1:03:14
why the guys? He's like,
1:03:17
yeah. There you go. And
1:03:19
he started laughing and I
1:03:21
was like, I did a
1:03:23
shout out for you on
1:03:25
my new song. I got
1:03:27
a shout out for you
1:03:29
on my new song. I
1:03:31
got a shout out for
1:03:33
you. So the gatlin brothers,
1:03:35
like the gatlin brothers, hey,
1:03:38
who's in the gang rape?
1:03:40
Hold the lighter over your
1:03:42
head. All right. This next
1:03:44
song is not about consensual
1:03:46
sex. All right, so the
1:03:48
gatlin brothers, where there's three
1:03:50
gatlin brothers in real life,
1:03:52
and there's three of them
1:03:54
who raped Becky. Back in.
1:03:56
and purple legs to stop
1:03:59
it. Right. His dad had
1:04:01
already told him not to
1:04:03
do what he's done. Yeah.
1:04:05
They saw the picture. So
1:04:07
was his dad in jail
1:04:09
for messing up some dudes?
1:04:11
I'm guessing it wasn't tax
1:04:13
evasion. Yeah, yeah. Rarely, really
1:04:15
a topic touched upon in
1:04:17
the country world, you know.
1:04:20
Yeah, wasn't white collar crime?
1:04:22
Well, what really, right? With
1:04:24
deduction, right, right. Imbezzle has
1:04:26
stopped. Yeah, it's a tough
1:04:28
one, too, yeah. He
1:04:31
was 1099 by his former
1:04:33
employer in the previous tax
1:04:35
quarter. He didn't claim enough
1:04:37
dependents. It's really it's wordy.
1:04:39
You know, better just put
1:04:42
a man in the ground
1:04:44
safer. Safer. Safer arrives faster
1:04:46
too. in his refractory period.
1:04:48
Oh. Tommy turned around, they
1:04:50
said, hey look all yellers
1:04:52
leaving. She could have heard
1:04:54
a pen drop when Tommy
1:04:56
stopped and locked the door.
1:04:59
Oh, we locked the door.
1:05:01
Yeah, it's the badest ass
1:05:03
move in the world. No,
1:05:05
that's the badest ass move
1:05:07
in the world is putting
1:05:09
the closed sign. Yeah, that
1:05:11
means you're giving, you know,
1:05:13
no one's leaving. You're giving
1:05:16
a world-class ass kick and
1:05:18
you lock the door, but
1:05:20
although I would argue if
1:05:22
I own the tavern, I'd
1:05:24
be like, hey man. We're
1:05:26
still up. I'm trying to
1:05:28
do business. Tourists are coming
1:05:31
in on top. This is
1:05:33
kind of my busy night?
1:05:35
Yeah. You guys can fight,
1:05:37
but you don't have to,
1:05:39
you know. Take it to
1:05:41
one and show some beers.
1:05:43
Yeah, really. We make most
1:05:45
of our money from the
1:05:48
bar. I do have bills
1:05:50
to pay. Yeah. The administrator
1:05:52
asked me, and the people
1:05:54
are going to drink some
1:05:56
beers. I'm sorry. It's bottled
1:05:58
up inside it. You
1:06:02
know,
1:06:04
he's
1:06:06
got
1:06:08
a
1:06:11
lot
1:06:13
of
1:06:15
ass
1:06:17
who
1:06:20
opened
1:06:22
again.
1:06:32
Maybe dad beat the shit out
1:06:34
of Gatlin Senior. But yet, the
1:06:36
other thing is, the sign of
1:06:38
a baddest, when somebody starts talking
1:06:40
to themselves after they just kick
1:06:42
your ass, like that's frightening. Yeah.
1:06:45
Talking to their dead. Yeah. Talking
1:06:47
to Jesus or whoever they're talking
1:06:49
to. That's just bad news. They
1:06:51
should be talking to the police.
1:06:53
But anyone else, you got problems,
1:06:56
yeah. Yeah. So there you go.
1:06:58
He wants to cover it in
1:07:00
the county. And there's a very
1:07:02
valuable lesson in this. What is it? Don't
1:07:04
mess with... Yeah, don't fuck with that
1:07:07
guy because after the guy's dad is
1:07:09
in prison. Brother's gay, right? You're Becky,
1:07:11
then you're going to beat everyone into
1:07:14
a coma at a tavern. I mean,
1:07:16
it's again... Stop lifting message. Don't taunt
1:07:18
the guy whose wife he just raped,
1:07:20
too. Like, hey, yeah, I'm just leaving.
1:07:23
Oh, that's the lesson. Yeah. You do
1:07:25
a lot of that in movies. Yeah.
1:07:27
Talking after the raping is really
1:07:29
the cherry on the horrible
1:07:32
side. Yeah, it's one thing
1:07:34
to gang rape your girl.
1:07:36
Yeah. But then call you
1:07:38
yellow on top of it?
1:07:40
Yeah. During your refracting? Yeah.
1:07:42
True, he's lying, yeah. And
1:07:44
he just went to talk
1:07:46
to those fellows. He just
1:07:48
wouldn't see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, or give
1:07:50
me a heads up when you get a
1:07:52
rape or so I can put a rape
1:07:55
and dress on. Because this one's all torn
1:07:57
and covered with dew. And that was an
1:07:59
expensive dress. I got my, you know,
1:08:01
tea, I don't want to get gross
1:08:03
here, but you have your period underpants,
1:08:05
right? Oh yeah. So you have your
1:08:07
raping dress. Right, you don't mind if
1:08:10
a little blood gets on it. It's
1:08:12
ripped up, it's ripped up, it's going
1:08:14
to change your oil. Well, when you're
1:08:16
going to change your oil in your
1:08:18
car, you don't put on a tux,
1:08:21
you know, you're going to get dirtied
1:08:23
up? Yeah. Oh no, we have an
1:08:25
outfit for rape. That's what I'm saying.
1:08:27
Yeah. Same, same, same, same shirt that
1:08:29
I wear to change my car oil.
1:08:32
Yeah. And put my Tampa in-provesiated on
1:08:34
it. Elastic waist pants. Yeah. Right. And
1:08:36
to me, it's whatever I saw. Pat
1:08:38
and Oswald wearing last because you know
1:08:40
why are you feeling like patent today?
1:08:42
No he's a good guy just so
1:08:45
I just went when the lineup hits
1:08:47
you know what I mean? Nobody's gonna
1:08:49
ever mistake you for him. Yeah you
1:08:51
know it but I feel like they
1:08:53
go to a blackout thing and I
1:08:56
think the guy was funny I saw
1:08:58
him on cable huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh. He did a
1:09:00
kind of serious movie that people enjoyed
1:09:02
but nobody watched. Well, there you go.
1:09:04
You got an Oswald right there, buddy.
1:09:07
You're talking about the man, are you
1:09:09
not? I would just be interested in
1:09:11
Kenny's writing process. Like when you sit
1:09:13
down, do you first get the melody?
1:09:15
Or do you first think about like
1:09:17
a ripe situation that shouldn't end itself
1:09:20
to songs? It's got to be weird
1:09:22
for the guy who collaborates with Kenny
1:09:24
because the guy probably writes the music.
1:09:26
I just wrote this little little ditty.
1:09:28
bucking off a horse or a picnic
1:09:31
or something like that. I got one
1:09:33
about gang rape in and it's like
1:09:35
what? No, no, no. This is going
1:09:37
to be a little toe tapper. Remember
1:09:39
this is going to be like for
1:09:42
hay rides and shit like that. Come
1:09:44
on Kenny. I got one about a
1:09:46
guy who's laid for bent and twisted
1:09:48
and the Korean War. It's going to
1:09:50
be awesome. Yeah, it's got to be
1:09:52
weird because you know there's some guy
1:09:55
probably lays down the lick and he
1:09:57
gives it to Kenny. And then Kenny
1:09:59
does the lyrics. And again, one of
1:10:01
these days, if we can book them,
1:10:03
we'll get the Gatlin Brothers in here
1:10:06
and see what they have to say
1:10:08
about being a serial rapist. It was
1:10:10
great. us into a song, but then
1:10:12
when we heard this song, good news
1:10:14
and bad news. Yeah. The manager told
1:10:17
us Kenny wrote us into something. Yeah.
1:10:19
Kenny was a good buddy up until
1:10:21
that point. Yeah, like, uh, you know,
1:10:23
when someone writes a book and they
1:10:25
thanked their wife, this is kind of
1:10:28
the opposite of the opposite of that.
1:10:30
All right, let's give a quick plug
1:10:32
for Brian Posey before we bring this
1:10:34
baby home. Fart and Wiener Jokes is
1:10:36
the name of him. You got a
1:10:38
little sidetrack with Kenny, but hey, what
1:10:41
are you going to do? That's the
1:10:43
way the show rolls. He's going to
1:10:45
be at the pipeline in Honolulu, September
1:10:47
1st. Good times, everybody. Oh, I forgot
1:10:49

Possain, and Teresa Strauss, there, and
1:11:53
Mahalo. Yeah, time for a little
1:11:55
extra content. assist from my good
1:11:57
buddy Brian. Yeah, always good to
1:11:59
have you back. Well I'm stuck
1:12:01
here because President Obama is in
1:12:03
town and he's doing a fundraiser
1:12:05
apparently in my neighborhood and they've
1:12:07
stopped traffic on all the major
1:12:09
streets. There I'll just by my
1:12:11
wife just texted me a picture
1:12:13
and people are stopped like on
1:12:15
our side streets like can't even
1:12:17
get through. Yeah, let me say
1:12:19
this. I've complained about this before
1:12:21
and listen ass wipes. Don't explain
1:12:23
to me the nuances of... politicking.
1:12:25
Where and how does it work
1:12:27
where you get to go out
1:12:29
not at the halfway point of
1:12:31
your own campaign and I was
1:12:33
shouting about this when you did
1:12:35
the view a few weeks ago
1:12:37
and start going out neither campaigning
1:12:39
for yourself or somebody else. Get
1:12:41
the fuck to work. You're the
1:12:43
god damn president. You have arguably
1:12:45
the most important job on the
1:12:47
planet. Certainly top three. Yes. Other
1:12:49
than being a parent. That's why
1:12:51
I'm paying a Mexican lady to
1:12:53
do it while I'm here. Especially
1:12:55
as a most important job. The
1:12:57
point is this. You have, let's
1:13:00
just put it this way, you
1:13:02
have the most important job in
1:13:04
this country. How about you hang
1:13:06
in the office and get some
1:13:08
work done? And don't give me
1:13:10
this fucking, oh you're just a
1:13:12
brocator. I'd say this to every
1:13:14
president every time. They're going on
1:13:16
vacation, and I don't mind a
1:13:18
vacation. But the fundraising and the
1:13:20
campaigning for other fucking politicians, and
1:13:22
by the way, once that you
1:13:24
probably don't even know or necessarily
1:13:26
like, they just happen to be
1:13:28
in your party, knock it to
1:13:30
fuck off. I mean, who's he
1:13:32
raising money for this time? I
1:13:34
have no idea, but it's obviously
1:13:36
probably a democratic candidate, right? Somewhere
1:13:38
here on a congressional race. Well,
1:13:40
here's who we have. We have
1:13:42
Barbara Boxer over here who's... horrific.
1:13:44
We have Diane Feinstein is probably
1:13:46
worse than she is and then
1:13:48
only leaves Schwarzer and via Ritardo.
1:13:50
All of them are fucking not
1:13:52
worthy of raising a fucking penny
1:13:54
for. I wouldn't take what was
1:13:56
in my fucking ashtray, or even
1:13:58
Dawson's, which has nothing but Roachcliffs
1:14:00
in it, and give it to
1:14:02
those fucking idiots. By the way,
1:14:04
here's all you need to know.
1:14:06
California better before these fucking charlatans
1:14:08
got to town or worse. Obviously
1:14:10
it's worse, the place is a
1:14:12
dump, Brock needs to go the
1:14:14
fuck back to the Oval Office
1:14:16
and get some shit done. Yeah,
1:14:18
the vacation, you're right, don't mind.
1:14:20
They've got Camp David and designated
1:14:22
places for that, but the interruption
1:14:25
of daily life for millions, and
1:14:27
maybe the busiest intersections in the
1:14:29
United States. You know what I
1:14:31
mean? These are major... And who
1:14:33
the fuck? And who the fuck?
1:14:35
And just make a phone call.
1:14:37
How about you Skype him in?
1:14:39
Let's, does that work with black
1:14:41
people? No. Okay. Throw is late.
1:14:43
Did not. No, not. I just,
1:14:45
I just meant, I didn't know
1:14:47
if it's a black and light
1:14:49
technology. They didn't show up or
1:14:51
something. Here I am being racist.
1:14:53
Damn it. They're always late. All
1:14:55
right, so they're on wrapper time.
1:14:57
I wonder if Rock's on wrapper
1:14:59
time too. Either way, whoever you
1:15:01
are, whatever side of the aisle
1:15:03
you're on, let's go ahead and
1:15:05
get to the halfway point of
1:15:07
your contract. You have a four-year
1:15:09
contract. You've decided to start shopping
1:15:11
around deals for other teams like
1:15:13
you're a fucking free agent. You
1:15:15
have a no trade clause. 19
1:15:17
months in your 48-month contract. Let's
1:15:19
get busy. and stop working for
1:15:21
other players on other teams and
1:15:23
other contracts just because you're both
1:15:25
lefties. Fuck that. Get back to
1:15:27
the fucking Oval Office and get
1:15:29
busy. And how can we never
1:15:31
say anything about? It's like, oh,
1:15:33
Barack Obama made a campaign stop.
1:15:35
He's swinging by California to do
1:15:37
a fundraiser. It's $5,000 a plate
1:15:39
for Diane Feinstein. Get the fuck
1:15:41
back to Washington and get the
1:15:43
fuck to work. Or do we
1:15:45
not have crime, Let me say
1:15:47
this too. How much difference do
1:15:50
these guys make? Remember we're all
1:15:52
bracing ourselves for the big change?
1:15:54
What really... What was the big
1:15:56
change that came in? Remember? It's
1:15:58
time for change? You're going to
1:16:00
be a big change? Prepare for
1:16:02
change? Hope and change? Hope and
1:16:04
change? Maybe it meant like change.
1:16:06
It's almost left in my pocket.
1:16:08
Hope and a little change. All
1:16:10
right, anyway, you can sleep here
1:16:12
tonight, Paul Bryan. I might. How
1:16:14
long do these things usually go?
1:16:16
There's extra content. Well, like, two
1:16:18
questions, how long are they supposed
1:16:20
to go? How long do you
1:16:22
make make them? We far exceeded
1:16:24
our allotmentment of time. All right,
1:16:26
does Adam Purlough Show 384, Coward
1:16:28
County, a great revisiting of the
1:16:30
Kenny Rogers Stuff in the Morning
1:16:32
Show, and the next clip actually
1:16:34
plays perfectly into that. This is
1:16:36
Adam Purlough Show 1857, using Larry
1:16:38
Gatlin in 2016. Check it out.
1:16:40
Yeah, get it on. Got to
1:16:42
get it on, no choice but
1:16:44
to get it on, Mandate, get
1:16:46
it on, and welcome to the
1:16:48
show. We're doing a little one-on-one
1:16:50
with Larry Gatlin. Good to see
1:16:52
you, my friend. Thank you. Good
1:16:54
to see you. Larry, of course,
1:16:56
well, has quite a solo career.
1:16:58
Also, the Gatlin Brothers is where
1:17:00
you probably know him best sold
1:17:02
millions. How many records? Brag a
1:17:04
little about the Gatlin Brothers before
1:17:06
we started. First of all, they're
1:17:08
my best friends. Wow. You can,
1:17:10
we've been doing it for 61
1:17:12
years, believe it or not. We
1:17:15
started when we've been doing it
1:17:17
for 61 years, being in backstage
1:17:19
limos buses trains planes you know
1:17:21
and on stage and doing it
1:17:23
all that we get along famously
1:17:25
together when you consider all that
1:17:27
there like i say we love
1:17:29
each other we're kind of connected
1:17:31
at the soul i think with
1:17:33
the music the first we had
1:17:35
eight number one records i wrote
1:17:37
all those eight they're the best
1:17:39
harmony singers i tell people they're
1:17:41
not my backup group they are
1:17:43
what the gatlin brother sound is
1:17:45
about so if those eight records
1:17:47
the first six were on a
1:17:49
little independent Monument Records, Fred Foster
1:17:51
was the producer, he produced Roy
1:17:53
Orbison, you know, on Monument, did
1:17:55
all those great songs. But we
1:17:57
didn't sell... a lot of records.
1:17:59
It was a little independent record
1:18:01
company. The radio stations loved the
1:18:03
sound of the records. The fans
1:18:05
requested it. And that's how we
1:18:07
kind of got the records on
1:18:09
the charts. But we didn't tell
1:18:11
a whole lot of records. We
1:18:13
got a lot of airplay and
1:18:15
I made money as the songwriter.
1:18:17
Gary, give me a list of
1:18:19
some Catlin brother number ones. Well,
1:18:21
I know him by heart. Do
1:18:23
you know him? Well, yeah, I'm
1:18:25
kidding. They bought me a big
1:18:27
house with a circle driving a
1:18:29
color TV. Hell yeah, I know
1:18:31
him. I want to speak in
1:18:33
a circle with the circular drive.
1:18:35
I want to circle back to
1:18:37
the brothers because I have spoken
1:18:40
to people here who are in
1:18:42
brother bands. You know, the black
1:18:44
crows and the Gallagher brothers and
1:18:46
guys like that. They famously oasis,
1:18:48
they famously don't get along. Like
1:18:50
the band is, the band is,
1:18:52
the band is hard enough, but
1:18:54
being in a band with your
1:18:56
brother somehow makes it tougher. For
1:18:58
most people, it doesn't work out
1:19:00
for most people. But for you,
1:19:02
you say these guys are still
1:19:04
your best friends. Well, here's the
1:19:06
deal. I'm not going to try
1:19:08
to be Billy Graham on you,
1:19:10
you know, and seeing Come to
1:19:12
Jesus and B-flat. However, and I'm
1:19:14
not going to question anyone's spiritual
1:19:16
motivation for their experience or anything
1:19:18
else, we're of the Christian ethic.
1:19:20
We were raised in church singing
1:19:22
gospel music. We believe that our
1:19:24
music, you know, it's subtlety about
1:19:26
the man who loves the jobs
1:19:28
always on vacation. All right, we
1:19:30
have loved our job, we've loved
1:19:32
each other, we believe that the
1:19:34
ability came from a higher power,
1:19:36
and so when things... Fall apart
1:19:38
and as William Butler Yates says
1:19:40
when the center will not hold
1:19:42
you know when things fall apart
1:19:44
as they do When records don't
1:19:46
go to number one when people
1:19:48
My buddy Roger Miller said a
1:19:50
lot of people were coming to
1:19:52
his shows dressed as empty seats
1:19:54
Okay, that's a miller that King
1:19:56
of the Road guy? That King
1:19:58
of the Road guy. Oh, trailer.
1:20:00
Not sailor. Or trailer. That's a
1:20:02
totally different. Sailor. For the rent.
1:20:05
Rooms. Oh, it does change the
1:20:07
whole thing. All you do is
1:20:09
go from sailor to trailer. And
1:20:11
it just is a totally different
1:20:13
movie. The total, yes, the total
1:20:15
vibe of the song. So I
1:20:17
think that's what it does. We
1:20:19
believe that we have been given
1:20:21
a gift to uplift our fellow
1:20:23
man, to entertain our fellow man,
1:20:25
and to make money. Those are
1:20:27
all three good things. Where did
1:20:29
all this positivity come from? Where
1:20:31
did you grow up? What did
1:20:33
your daddy do? Daddy was a
1:20:35
hard work man. He's 89 years
1:20:37
old. He's I tell people he's
1:20:39
not a former marine or an
1:20:41
ex-marine He's just an 89 year
1:20:43
old marine not currently on active
1:20:45
duty So he's locked and loaded
1:20:47
and ready to go so we
1:20:49
learned that ethic from him of
1:20:51
service Even though neither one of
1:20:53
us were in the service, I
1:20:55
was 296 in the draft. What's
1:20:57
296? Number 290, I didn't have
1:20:59
to go. Oh, oh, Vietnam. I
1:21:01
thought that meant fallen arches or
1:21:03
something. Because that's the new remedy.
1:21:05
But he taught us the love
1:21:07
and respect for the military and
1:21:09
for our country, and to a
1:21:11
certain extent, the spiritual side, but
1:21:13
that was kind of left to
1:21:15
mom. Because he was working in
1:21:17
the awful, he didn't get to
1:21:19
go to church with us very
1:21:21
much. So that's where we learned
1:21:23
it. Let's circle driveway back to
1:21:25
the love and respect for the
1:21:27
country and the military. Obviously what's
1:21:30
going on out right now is
1:21:32
insane, in terms of the country
1:21:34
and the police and the military
1:21:36
and everything else. And I think
1:21:38
that it leads, here's what I'm
1:21:40
feeling on a psychological level. You
1:21:42
can't take a whole bunch of
1:21:44
people, give him a whole bunch
1:21:46
of free shit and then tell
1:21:48
him. how miserable they should be
1:21:50
and how angry they should be
1:21:52
at the government and the cops
1:21:54
and expect them to have fruitful
1:21:56
lives and be happy about their
1:21:58
station in life. Of course you
1:22:00
can. You just did it. You
1:22:02
ought to run for something. I
1:22:04
should run for something, but are
1:22:06
those people ever going to... I'm
1:22:08
really... Every year I get older
1:22:10
I start thinking about how worthless
1:22:12
everything is if anyone hands it
1:22:14
to you. Unless you go get
1:22:16
it, as a matter of fact,
1:22:18
when you start handing it to
1:22:20
them they start to present you.
1:22:22
And it's a micro thing. I've
1:22:24
had it happen with family members
1:22:26
where you loan them some money
1:22:28
or you put their kids through
1:22:30
private school or you do whatever
1:22:32
you do and at the end
1:22:34
they end up presenting you. Yeah,
1:22:36
they're pissed because you think they
1:22:38
ought to pay it back. Even
1:22:40
if you don't think they should
1:22:42
pay it back, they're still pissed
1:22:44
because you basically shame them and
1:22:46
I think you think I've realized
1:22:48
that shame is the most powerful
1:22:50
emotion there is and if you
1:22:53
on the planet if you said
1:22:55
To If you said to me,
1:22:57
let's just say to me, hey,
1:22:59
you're an asshole, I'd go, yeah,
1:23:01
all right. And they'd say, hey,
1:23:03
you're this, that, and the other,
1:23:05
you're not funny, you know, okay,
1:23:07
that's fine. I make millions of
1:23:09
dollars being funny, like, it's fine.
1:23:11
But if you tell me something
1:23:13
that hits home, you know, if
1:23:15
you get into, hey, you're not
1:23:17
spending enough time with your kids,
1:23:19
I've been, you're going to get
1:23:21
some bark, you're getting some bite
1:23:23
back at you if you come
1:23:25
at me with that or something
1:23:27
that strikes a nerve something that
1:23:29
feels like there's some kernels of
1:23:31
truth there and and that brings
1:23:33
out shame and shame brings out
1:23:35
rage and I've experienced in my
1:23:37
own life a whole bunch which
1:23:39
is tell somebody anything call them
1:23:41
anything they don't care there's just
1:23:43
words or names or whatever tap
1:23:45
into something that they really do
1:23:47
feel like may be true and
1:23:49
you get ferocious anger. Any parent
1:23:51
that tells a child you should
1:23:53
be ashamed of yourself, they ought
1:23:55
to get bitch-slapped right there. I
1:23:57
like that. Absolutely bitch-slapped. Shame? I
1:23:59
have been shamed before. by parents,
1:24:01
by teachers. All it means is
1:24:03
that parent or that teacher doesn't
1:24:05
have anything to really tell that
1:24:07
child to aid that child's growth
1:24:09
or to show that child where
1:24:11
they might have gone wrong, putting
1:24:13
your hand on the fire. Shame
1:24:15
is the most debilitating, that and
1:24:18
having a bad back are the
1:24:20
most debilitating things. Yeah, that planet.
1:24:22
I agree and I believe when
1:24:24
you hand everyone just enough to
1:24:26
get by on or everything, they
1:24:28
feel a sense of shame because
1:24:30
obviously... if you're handing adult something
1:24:32
and saying look I know you
1:24:34
can't afford to feed your kids
1:24:36
lunch you know it's my whole
1:24:38
thing with these school lunch programs
1:24:40
or school breakfast or now they
1:24:42
have school dinners and now there's
1:24:44
this whole thing about well who's
1:24:46
gonna feed them during the summertime
1:24:48
I tell people all time and
1:24:50
my friends on the left take
1:24:52
it run with it and turn
1:24:54
it into something else which is
1:24:56
I want I made my son
1:24:58
and daughter eggs this morning. It
1:25:00
probably cost me 41 cents. It
1:25:02
took me seven minutes. My son
1:25:04
appreciated it. I appreciated it. He
1:25:06
liked some scrambled. She liked some
1:25:08
sunny side up. It was a
1:25:10
little moment of me taking care
1:25:12
of my kids. It's symbolic mostly,
1:25:14
but they appreciate it. We had
1:25:16
a little moment and it doesn't
1:25:18
cost anything. When I tell everybody,
1:25:20
I want you to cook your
1:25:22
kids' breakfast. It's not because... I
1:25:24
want you to save me money.
1:25:26
I want you to have that
1:25:28
bond with your kids. And I
1:25:30
also don't want your kids growing
1:25:32
up, assuming that somebody's going to
1:25:34
get them breakfast other than their
1:25:36
family. I want them counting on
1:25:38
you. I want that carved into
1:25:40
their fabric of their DNA. I
1:25:43
don't want them at age eight
1:25:45
looking around and wondering what kind
1:25:47
of slop the government's going to
1:25:49
throw in the tray and hand
1:25:51
them in the... cafeteria because that
1:25:53
just perpetuates leads to other things
1:25:55
and the food is empty calories
1:25:57
and emotionally it's empty calories the
1:25:59
kid gets nothing out of it
1:26:01
nutritionally and certainly emotionally it's a
1:26:03
horrible message so when I say
1:26:05
feed your kids breakfast I'm not
1:26:07
saying it to save taxpayer money
1:26:09
I'm saying it so that your
1:26:11
kid can grow up to be
1:26:13
a citizen and cook his kids'
1:26:15
breakfast or her kids' breakfast. Well,
1:26:17
you've carved it. You talked about
1:26:19
carving it in your DNA before
1:26:21
that very morning, the moment that
1:26:23
you did the eggs, you have
1:26:25
been raising them in a certain
1:26:27
way to respect certain things. You
1:26:29
know, hey, maybe they're supposed to
1:26:31
clean their room because daddy did
1:26:33
them. There is something a give
1:26:35
and take for that. My old
1:26:37
and dear friend who is still
1:26:39
my old and dear friend. George
1:26:41
W. W. Bush called it. the
1:26:43
soft bigotry of low expectations. I
1:26:45
love that line. If nothing is
1:26:47
ever expected in return, it reinforces
1:26:49
that those people can't do anything.
1:26:51
If you got up and gave
1:26:53
them the eggs every morning, drove
1:26:55
them to school, when they came
1:26:57
home you did their homework for
1:26:59
them, you know, everything in the
1:27:01
world, first of all, they're not...
1:27:03
I would not want to be
1:27:05
in a lifeboat with Hillary Clinton
1:27:08
or Barack Obama, because they wouldn't
1:27:10
want to row. They just want
1:27:12
to tell other people how to
1:27:14
row and then they'd be bitching
1:27:16
about you're not rowing fast enough.
1:27:18
They don't know how to do
1:27:20
anything. They don't know how to
1:27:22
use their hands to do a
1:27:24
day's work. Our father taught us
1:27:26
to do that. Our father taught
1:27:28
us to do that. Daddy took
1:27:30
me out to work with him.
1:27:32
He was a driller and I
1:27:34
was roughneck. He came in one
1:27:36
morning. I had cooked my own
1:27:38
eggs. I'm serious. I had scrambled
1:27:40
eggs and made a little coffee
1:27:42
and some orange juice. One of
1:27:44
his guys, how old were you
1:27:46
at this time? I was 16,
1:27:48
15 or 16, between my junior
1:27:50
and sophomore or junior and senior
1:27:52
in high school. He said, well
1:27:54
damn it, I'm going to have
1:27:56
to go out short-handed today and
1:27:58
we're going to have to. to
1:28:00
make a trip. That means you're
1:28:02
taking all the pipe out of
1:28:04
the hole and putting all the
1:28:06
pipe back in and in the
1:28:08
hole. And it is eight hours
1:28:10
of hucking and bucking. So I
1:28:12
said, Daddy, I'll go with you.
1:28:14
He said, no, I don't want
1:28:16
you to step your foot on
1:28:18
drilling, that's why I work. So
1:28:20
I said, Daddy, I'll go with
1:28:22
you. He said, no, I don't
1:28:24
want you to ever step your
1:28:26
foot on drilling rig for you
1:28:28
to polish. He said, here are
1:28:30
the rules. If it's broke, fix
1:28:33
it. If it ain't broke, don't
1:28:35
fix it. If it's broke and
1:28:37
you can't fix it, paint the
1:28:39
son of a bitch. That's what
1:28:41
it was like at the Gatlin
1:28:43
household. We were taught that there
1:28:45
is work. There are certain things
1:28:47
that you do. There's a certain
1:28:49
code of ethic and behavior that
1:28:51
you do. Now, I had friends
1:28:53
on the other side of town,
1:28:55
the rich side of town. They
1:28:57
got everything they wanted. And this
1:28:59
is the rich folks. Okay, the
1:29:01
one percenters who were doing that
1:29:03
and for the most part They
1:29:05
turned out I know I'm painting
1:29:07
it with a broad brush and
1:29:09
it's anecdotal as they say well
1:29:11
if you can't fix it paint
1:29:13
it with a broad brush with
1:29:15
a broad brush and the same
1:29:17
thing Jesse Jayce watch said something
1:29:19
the football player for football and
1:29:21
he was a congressman from Oklahoma
1:29:23
and he said something else a
1:29:25
Jay Jay watch yeah, that's another
1:29:27
football player. He said He was
1:29:29
elected as a congressman from Oklahoma,
1:29:31
first black congressman ever from Oklahoma.
1:29:33
He said one night, after he'd
1:29:35
been in office two weeks at
1:29:37
a Republican fundraiser thing, a dinner
1:29:39
in Washington. He said, let us
1:29:41
not measure our compassion by how
1:29:43
many people we have on welfare.
1:29:45
Rather, let us measure our compassion
1:29:47
by how few. We need to
1:29:49
hear that. I'm an atheist, but
1:29:51
amen. It drives me nuts. And
1:29:53
this notion... that
1:29:56
I lack compassion because I understand
1:29:59
firsthand through my upbringing, which is
1:30:01
quite a contrast to yours. My
1:30:04
upbringing was welfare. Oh, I'm sorry.
1:30:06
I am wrong because my, my,
1:30:08
my, my, my, I grew up
1:30:11
with welfare and with food stamps
1:30:13
and with school lunch programs. I'm,
1:30:15
I'm a product of that. And
1:30:18
I saw my mom just sit
1:30:20
in this house that my grandmother
1:30:22
let her sit in because she
1:30:25
owned it. very small house and
1:30:27
just rot. Just rot because she
1:30:29
got just enough to stay alive.
1:30:32
All she packed on weight, she
1:30:34
let herself go physically, she didn't
1:30:37
put herself together, she didn't put
1:30:39
makeup on, she didn't fix her
1:30:41
hair, she literally just sat, got
1:30:44
fat, smoked pot and sort of
1:30:46
slid into this depression and sat
1:30:48
in this free house and got...
1:30:51
the check from the government which
1:30:53
was just enough to buy some
1:30:55
frozen dinners and that went on
1:30:58
for years and at a certain
1:31:00
point she every muscle she had
1:31:02
atrophied who did she vote for
1:31:05
you think i'm sure she was
1:31:07
all about carter uh... she was
1:31:10
and she didn't she she's probably
1:31:12
on the ralf nadir band wagon
1:31:14
back in the day She probably
1:31:17
cast a vote for Tom Loughlin
1:31:19
who starred in Billy Jack, even
1:31:21
though she probably wrote in Tom
1:31:24
Loughlin from Billy Jack. Like I
1:31:26
think that she was writing. You
1:31:28
guys can Google that you have
1:31:31
a laugh. Anyway, maybe she wrote
1:31:33
in LaVar Burton. I don't know.
1:31:35
But either way, she didn't write
1:31:38
in Reagan or we could pretty
1:31:40
well be. She atrophied. She atrophied.
1:31:43
And I said her one day,
1:31:45
I remember just thinking when I
1:31:47
was about nine. I don't get
1:31:50
it, we don't have anything. Your
1:31:52
car's all broken down, you're all
1:31:54
broken down, there's no food in
1:31:57
the fridge. Once you just get
1:31:59
a job. because kids don't understand,
1:32:01
they just think a job is a
1:32:04
job, you know, they do that all the
1:32:06
time. It would be a schoolteacher, you want
1:32:08
to be a doctor, you want to be
1:32:10
a lawyer, they don't realize they're paid, there's
1:32:12
a little pay difference in some of those,
1:32:14
but my, from the mouth of babes thing
1:32:16
was just get a job. If you get
1:32:18
a job, then we could have a car
1:32:20
and we could have some food and we
1:32:23
have whatever, and she just looked at
1:32:25
me and she just looked at me
1:32:27
and said, and said, to make, well
1:32:29
for mother to make to the son,
1:32:31
but I experience it firsthand. She, and the
1:32:33
thing that's comical about the whole
1:32:35
thing, getting back, circling the driveway
1:32:38
back to where we started, nobody
1:32:40
hated the government more than my
1:32:42
mom. Nobody depended on the
1:32:45
government more than my mom. So I
1:32:47
understand firsthand what it breeds.
1:32:49
It breeds contempt for the
1:32:51
person that's handing you the pittance
1:32:54
to live off of every year
1:32:56
and every month, but also... breeds
1:32:58
an inner contempt. My mom obviously
1:33:00
didn't like herself. And what was
1:33:02
looking back at her when she looked in
1:33:04
the mirror, when she got up about noon.
1:33:06
So this was, I've seen how debilitating
1:33:09
this could be. So when I say I
1:33:11
don't want people on welfare and I want
1:33:13
people to make their kids their own
1:33:15
breakfast, I'm not saying that out of
1:33:18
cruelty. I'm saying it for the person.
1:33:20
It's the same way your doctor would
1:33:22
say, I'm going to need you to
1:33:24
exercise. And you go, it hurts. I
1:33:26
don't want to do it. Well, get
1:33:29
up at six in the morning and
1:33:31
jog five miles. No way. It's cold
1:33:33
outside. Yeah, really. Why? Is this guy
1:33:35
mean? He's being mean. He doesn't like
1:33:37
his patient. No, he's patient to be
1:33:39
healthy. Well, you know, that'll do about
1:33:42
no good deed. It goes unpunished. So
1:33:44
the government. Here's the thing. When I
1:33:46
was in New York 20 years ago,
1:33:48
I played Will Rogers on Broadway. And
1:33:50
one morning I was reading Either. You
1:33:52
played the part of Will Rogers on Broadway.
1:33:54
I played the part of Will Rise. One
1:33:56
of the greatest thrills and honors of my
1:33:58
life. I was either reading... The Communist
1:34:01
Manifest, which actually is called the New
1:34:03
York Times. We call it the Communist
1:34:05
Manifesto at our house. It was either
1:34:08
that or the Wall Street Journal. One
1:34:10
of those, and I would imagine the
1:34:12
W.S.J. because of the content, a man
1:34:15
and a woman got married. This
1:34:17
was 100 years ago, whatever. They had
1:34:19
eight children. Those eight children had 70
1:34:21
between them. And while the pyramid... there
1:34:24
were over a hundred and seventy people
1:34:26
in the pyramid right from that
1:34:28
mother and father sure all the mother
1:34:30
father was still alive there were eight
1:34:33
people in that hundred and seventy
1:34:35
person pyramid that had gainful employ right
1:34:37
out of the one seventy there was
1:34:39
eight the benefits from the government were
1:34:42
over two million dollars a year in
1:34:44
food stamps whatever to this one
1:34:46
pyramid right and people say well there
1:34:48
you're a racist Well, they automatically assumed
1:34:51
they were black. They weren't. They
1:34:53
were white. Right. And who gives a
1:34:55
rosy red rat's ass what color they
1:34:57
were because they were sitting on their
1:35:00
rosy red rat's ass and letting you
1:35:02
and Larry work and buy and
1:35:04
pay for the food steps? I was
1:35:06
laughing, I'm laughing to myself because the
1:35:09
most racist thing you can say is
1:35:11
saying, you go, look, 170 people, eight
1:35:13
of them. gainfully employed i want
1:35:15
to correct this that's racist i didn't
1:35:18
say what color they were absolutely racist
1:35:20
you assume there's something yeah and
1:35:22
by the way there are a lot
1:35:24
of races to choose from why did
1:35:27
you choose that raise i was talking
1:35:29
to somebody called in to another podcast
1:35:31
i was doing earlier in the
1:35:33
week earlier in the month and uh...
1:35:36
he said You know we do all
1:35:38
these stupid PSAs public service announcements
1:35:40
all these sort of click it or
1:35:42
ticket or talk to your kids Every
1:35:45
time I watch TV. It's a stupid
1:35:47
commercial about reading to your kids or
1:35:49
talking to your kids, which is
1:35:51
like No, duh, of course I'm going
1:35:54
to talk to my kids. And if
1:35:56
you have to be told and
1:35:58
prompted to talk to your kids from
1:36:00
a TV commercial, we got problems. But
1:36:03
either way, all a bunch of waste
1:36:05
of time and a waste of taxpayer
1:36:07
money. But somebody suggested this, and
1:36:09
I thought, yeah, that's not a bad
1:36:12
idea. He said, how about a PSA
1:36:14
about how to interact with police?
1:36:16
And I said, oh, that's that's not
1:36:18
a bad plan. And he said, yeah,
1:36:21
my dad, he said, I'm a white
1:36:23
guy, but my dad, obviously white guy,
1:36:25
hadn't been pulled over in about
1:36:27
30 years, and he got pulled over.
1:36:30
And because it's been about 30 years,
1:36:32
he did what he always did,
1:36:34
which he got pulled over and he
1:36:36
got out of his car and started
1:36:39
walking toward the cruiser. And the cops
1:36:41
started yelling him, get back in the
1:36:43
car, get down, or get on
1:36:45
your knees, or whatever it, or whatever
1:36:48
it's, or whatever it's, or whatever it's,
1:36:50
or whatever it's, or whatever it's, or
1:36:52
whatever it's, or whatever it's like. Yeah,
1:36:55
that's what people used to do.
1:36:57
You used to get out of your
1:36:59
car and you'd start walking toward the
1:37:01
cruiser wanting to know what the
1:37:03
problem was or making up excuses or
1:37:06
holding the fruit basket. But it's not
1:37:08
a thing where it's just, well, it's
1:37:10
just for young black men. No, this
1:37:13
old 75-year-old white guy didn't know
1:37:15
how to interact either with the police.
1:37:17
That's a new day for him. That
1:37:19
was not in his well house,
1:37:21
right wheelhouse. Yeah. He said what about
1:37:24
a PSA about how to interact with
1:37:26
police and I said that's a brilliant
1:37:28
idea except for you'd be called a
1:37:31
racist Okay, I have one for
1:37:33
you right here. I have I know
1:37:35
a young man. I say I know
1:37:37
him His social media guy named
1:37:39
Shannon self is the guy who handles
1:37:42
that for me. He's a young black
1:37:44
singer country singer named Coffee C-O-F-F-E like
1:37:46
coffee Anderson. He has done a video
1:37:49
of how a black man should
1:37:51
respond to a policeman stopping you it's
1:37:53
got over thirty three million views oh
1:37:55
coffee Anderson well maybe it is
1:37:57
unbelievable it makes sense don't reach in
1:38:00
your pocket for your driver's license well
1:38:02
getting back to uh... race say this
1:38:04
would probably be good for any color
1:38:07
person that gets pulled over, right?
1:38:09
I mean, I'm guessing this video. I
1:38:11
mean, I'd like my son, I mean,
1:38:13
look, there's this thing all the
1:38:15
time where it's like, I'm a black
1:38:18
dad and I'm going to have to
1:38:20
sit down with my son and explain
1:38:22
to him what kind of country we
1:38:25
live in and explain to him
1:38:27
what to expect out of cops and
1:38:29
this, that and the other. And I
1:38:31
hate you poisoning your son that way.
1:38:34
Here's how you interact with law enforcement
1:38:36
When you get pulled over be
1:38:38
respectful and do exactly what they say
1:38:40
and You might might save your life
1:38:43
and also might save you from
1:38:45
getting getting out of a ticket I've
1:38:47
gotten out of quite a few tickets
1:38:49
by just literally being a sweetheart and
1:38:52
anyone who knows me knows I'm not
1:38:54
the nicest guy in the world
1:38:56
and I've heard and I don't like
1:38:58
chicken shit tickets from cops, but in
1:39:01
that one little interaction that's going
1:39:03
to last about 90 seconds, I might
1:39:05
be able to get out of this
1:39:07
ticket. In Rousseau's famous work, Camille, as
1:39:10
the teacher and the student, Rousseau, the
1:39:12
teacher, tells Camille, I will teach
1:39:14
you how to sleep anywhere in the
1:39:16
world and how to be comfortable and
1:39:19
at home anywhere in the world.
1:39:21
How I will do that is, you
1:39:23
will sleep on the ground. If you
1:39:25
learn to sleep on the ground, and
1:39:28
I was missing to it to one
1:39:30
of your guys out here, You
1:39:32
can sleep anywhere. It's up to the
1:39:34
parent. It is incumbent upon the parent
1:39:37
to teach the child how to
1:39:39
get along in this world. Let me
1:39:41
tell you something. Adam, if you tell
1:39:43
your kids to don't drink and drive,
1:39:46
drive the speed limit, don't drink and
1:39:48
drive, and all the time you're
1:39:50
telling them that you're drunker to Wilson,
1:39:52
pissant, and you're driving 65 through a...
1:39:55
schools are you can tell them
1:39:57
whatever you want to sure they are
1:39:59
not going to pay any attention. So
1:40:01
what kind of pissant am I strunk
1:40:04
as? Walsand pissing. Can you imagine
1:40:06
a walsing pissing? I don't even
1:40:08
know what a walsing. Walsing. I
1:40:11
don't know waltzing. One, two, three,
1:40:13
four, five, six, pissing. A waltzing.
1:40:15
A waltzing. I don't know. It's
1:40:18
a Texas thing. You can tell
1:40:20
them all you want to but if
1:40:22
you don't live it in front of
1:40:24
them, they're going to do it
1:40:26
like you're going to. And we have
1:40:29
that PSA, so we'll take a
1:40:31
listen for coffee's words. You know,
1:40:33
and all the stuff that's
1:40:35
going on out there in this
1:40:37
country and beyond, I say
1:40:40
the only shot we got is
1:40:42
parents and their kids in
1:40:44
raising your kids and
1:40:46
keeping the family together,
1:40:48
focusing on family, focusing
1:40:51
on education. That's all
1:40:53
we got. Because obviously
1:40:55
the cops, as a... I think
1:40:57
Commissioner Brown brought up a while
1:41:00
back. They can't be drug counselors,
1:41:02
they can't be dog catchers, they
1:41:04
can't, they can't be marriage counselors.
1:41:07
They just have to be cops.
1:41:09
All that other stuff, that's got
1:41:11
to take place at home. You
1:41:13
cannot... take these people and unleash them
1:41:15
into society where you know the cops
1:41:17
are there to protect the citizens if
1:41:20
you got a guy who's holding a
1:41:22
broken bottle and standing on a ledge
1:41:24
and waving it around every day you
1:41:26
can't talk him off that that's stuff
1:41:28
that needs to be taken care of
1:41:30
when that kid was zero to 18
1:41:32
now we got him at age 23
1:41:34
we're not gonna be able to fix
1:41:36
this guy it's kind of too late
1:41:38
of course after the guy says may
1:41:40
I see your license and he's pulled
1:41:42
you over some The great
1:41:45
philosopher and teacher, Dr. Allen
1:41:47
Bloom, University of Chicago, he
1:41:49
said there's one thing that a
1:41:51
college professor can be assured of if
1:41:53
he or she walks in the classroom
1:41:56
and asks, is there any such thing
1:41:58
as right or wrong? 90% of... will say
1:42:00
no, it's relative. Well, his deal
1:42:02
is that we don't study the
1:42:05
classics, we don't study Plato and
1:42:07
Socrates or the Judeo-Christian ethic. And
1:42:10
whether you're an atheist or like
1:42:12
Thomas Jefferson's Bible, that he cut
1:42:14
out a bunch of the stuff he
1:42:17
didn't like, but just the teachings
1:42:19
of Christ, whether you think he's
1:42:21
divine or not, there are some things
1:42:23
there about, don't do this, don't do
1:42:25
this, do this, and if right, and
1:42:27
if there's no, what I'm saying is,
1:42:29
at least a kernel of something
1:42:31
to which you can tether your
1:42:34
behavior. What are we talking about
1:42:36
if there's not something? First
1:42:38
off, I'm an atheist and
1:42:40
I completely reject that. The
1:42:42
two arguments I reject is
1:42:45
I reject the atheist argument which
1:42:47
is hey there is no up and
1:42:49
down and right and wrong and we
1:42:51
live in some sort of weird zero
1:42:53
gravity you know if that's right to
1:42:55
you then that's right to you you
1:42:57
know if having sex with your daughters
1:42:59
right to you then it's right to
1:43:01
you I can't tell you it's wrong
1:43:03
that's bullshit and right and I my
1:43:06
one of my buddies Dennis Prager
1:43:08
is the biggest Jew on the planet who
1:43:10
loves him the Torah he'll say well without
1:43:12
religion what's the what's to say what's right
1:43:14
what's wrong and i'm like i can say
1:43:16
what's right what's wrong i agree with nine
1:43:18
and a half out of the ten commandments
1:43:20
at least i mean i don't want them
1:43:22
taken out you know this whole thing when
1:43:25
the a theist won them there's a ten
1:43:27
commandment plaque in front of the courthouse and
1:43:29
i wanted to bulldoze you know no i
1:43:31
don't want to bulldoze i agree with all
1:43:33
that stuff i'm fine with all that stuff
1:43:35
It's easy to have a moral
1:43:37
bearing whether you find it religiously
1:43:39
or you just find it from
1:43:41
within. There is a right and
1:43:43
a wrong in nature and in
1:43:45
God. I believe it and I
1:43:48
don't know why we're, I don't
1:43:50
get why we're arguing with it
1:43:52
all the time. It drives me
1:43:54
insane. Your idea of the good
1:43:56
and mine and what a moral
1:43:58
template may be or a... tether or
1:44:00
something, a code of ethic. If they
1:44:02
vary to such a great degree, like
1:44:04
I say that you think it's all
1:44:06
right to have sex with a dog
1:44:08
and I don't, somewhere we're going, that
1:44:11
will clash if the government is going
1:44:13
to give you money to have an
1:44:15
abortion from the union of the, you
1:44:17
know, it becomes so absolutely bizarre. You
1:44:19
know what I did yesterday? What'd you
1:44:21
do? I Googled a copy of the
1:44:23
Girl Scout Handbook. Everybody's
1:44:26
saying, we need to come together. Right.
1:44:28
Around what? We
1:44:30
need to call it around what? If
1:44:34
you tell me
1:44:36
Black Lives Matter, which
1:44:39
is based on a lie
1:44:41
of hands up, don't
1:44:43
shoot, we don't have
1:44:45
anything to talk about, pal. I
1:44:47
agree. If that is what you
1:44:49
base, you know, Black Lives Do
1:44:51
Matter, I agree. But if
1:44:54
you tell me my life and the men
1:44:56
in blue don't matter, we don't have
1:44:58
anything to talk about. So let's just sit
1:45:00
down and take the Girl Scout Handbook.
1:45:02
Be a good person. Be a good citizen.
1:45:04
Do the right thing. And all the
1:45:06
way to Plato's idea of just the good.
1:45:09
What is good? What
1:45:12
is true? I think - I think we'd
1:45:14
have a big argument, not you and I.
1:45:16
You and I would probably feel about
1:45:18
the same. No, I think here's where we're
1:45:20
going south. And that's another thing
1:45:22
I talk about when Dennis
1:45:25
Prager is a big uh...
1:45:27
proponent fan of he brings it
1:45:29
up a lot uh... Just
1:45:33
because you're poor doesn't mean
1:45:35
you have to be amoral. It
1:45:38
doesn't mean you have to be violent. It
1:45:40
doesn't mean you have to involve yourself with criminal
1:45:42
behavior. What the left does is they go, these
1:45:45
guys are poor. Of course they're
1:45:47
in gangs. Of course they're doing
1:45:49
this. Of course they're doing that.
1:45:51
Well, what you mean, of course?
1:45:54
It's funny because the left says, well,
1:45:57
these guys are poor. So,
1:45:59
of course they're selling
1:46:01
drugs and being violent and gangbanging and
1:46:03
bashing and bashing senior citizens over the
1:46:06
head and then out of the other
1:46:08
side of their mouth they go these
1:46:10
guys are rich so they're evil and
1:46:12
it's like well which is it because
1:46:15
you've done the poor you've done the
1:46:17
rich they seem to always be focused
1:46:19
on the middle class but I don't
1:46:21
sign off on this notion that if
1:46:24
you're poor you have to go hit
1:46:26
people over the head and steal their
1:46:28
pocketbook I was poor my whole life
1:46:30
my family was always poor Not for
1:46:33
a second did we ever dream of
1:46:35
going out and inflicting any harm on
1:46:37
anyone else personally or their property. I
1:46:39
mean we were poor and I was
1:46:42
just telling someone this store but it
1:46:44
is bizarre. I found a $50 bill
1:46:46
at the Cherry Hill Mall, Cherry Hill
1:46:48
in New Jersey when I was about
1:46:51
five or six on the ground and
1:46:53
my mom picked it up and she
1:46:55
does have a bizarre moral compass I
1:46:57
must say. This was early on when
1:47:00
my parents were still married, and I
1:47:02
guess she was a little more normal.
1:47:04
But we picked up a loose $50
1:47:06
bill, and I said, hey, $50. She
1:47:09
said, we're walking it over to Lost
1:47:11
and Found. And I said, even at
1:47:13
age five or six, I was like,
1:47:15
Lost and Found for a $50 bill?
1:47:17
Who's gonna... Somebody lost it, and we
1:47:20
found it. Yeah, we found it. She
1:47:22
said, now goes to Lost and Found.
1:47:24
All right, we were poor. 71 or
1:47:26
whenever it was 70. But we walked
1:47:29
it over to Lost & Founds, gave
1:47:31
it to the person behind the counter
1:47:33
and lost and found. And then I
1:47:35
counted every single day because I think
1:47:38
the person said two weeks if it's
1:47:40
not claimed, it's yours. And that $50
1:47:42
was... Turned out to be more money
1:47:44
than I ever saw before like my
1:47:47
25th birthday like I mean that was
1:47:49
a lot of dough to me back
1:47:51
then and I remember it's just thinking
1:47:53
oh God, please God, you know, don't
1:47:56
let someone claim that and What would
1:47:58
you do if you found one today?
1:48:00
Geez, I I would probably walk it
1:48:02
over there. I mean, look, if I
1:48:05
found it blowing down the street, I
1:48:07
don't know. But if I found it
1:48:09
in a mall or in a restaurant
1:48:11
or something, I probably would. Based on
1:48:14
two things. A, I'm rich and B,
1:48:16
I remember walking this over. I think
1:48:18
you should change B and A. Put
1:48:20
B in the A part. I'm trying
1:48:22
to be a little self-deprecating, but I
1:48:25
also think to myself, I was just
1:48:27
talking to somebody about this, which is...
1:48:30
You know somebody said to me you
1:48:33
know I do the right thing and
1:48:35
the other guy doesn't do the right
1:48:37
thing and I can't remember what the
1:48:39
example was but I just said it
1:48:42
doesn't matter what the other guy does
1:48:44
you do the right thing and they
1:48:46
go yeah but what if the guy
1:48:49
at the lost and found you know
1:48:51
he's just going to pocket that money
1:48:53
the guy you handed to is just
1:48:56
going to put it in his pocket
1:48:58
he's going to be 50 bucks richer
1:49:00
and I was like well that's up
1:49:02
to him with that's up to him.
1:49:05
You know? My bigger point was just
1:49:07
sort of, if the guy at the
1:49:09
restaurant that you return the $50 to
1:49:12
or the guy at the Lost and
1:49:14
Found or whoever you hand it to
1:49:16
puts it in his pocket, that's him.
1:49:18
He's a thief. He's going to have
1:49:21
to deal with that. He has to
1:49:23
wake up every morning and look in
1:49:25
the mirror and see the thief looking
1:49:28
back at him. That's him. You're not
1:49:30
that person. So just give the person
1:49:32
the 50 bucks and walk on. I
1:49:35
like your deal better. I do too.
1:49:37
I would, $50 a small price to
1:49:39
pay for being able to sleep at
1:49:41
night, or not having the thief looking
1:49:44
back at you. But what I'm saying
1:49:46
is, is just because you're poor doesn't
1:49:48
mean you can't be proud. It doesn't
1:49:51
mean you can't do work that you're
1:49:53
proud of. It doesn't mean that you
1:49:55
have to resort to criminality. My father
1:49:57
never got past the 10th grade. He
1:50:00
never made... more than $35,000 a year
1:50:02
in his life. We were lower middle
1:50:04
class and the way we could live
1:50:07
where we lived in Odessa, just a
1:50:09
nice little brick house. We didn't live
1:50:11
that always. Believe me, the brothers and
1:50:14
I sang. Our sister, we would go
1:50:16
and sing and they'd take up what
1:50:18
they call a love offering. They didn't
1:50:20
love it as much as we needed
1:50:23
for him to. That augmented his salary
1:50:25
so that we had a nice standard
1:50:27
of living. It was still paycheck to
1:50:30
paycheck. That's the way it is. But
1:50:32
he taught us that work was noble.
1:50:34
Work was noble. that we were supposed
1:50:37
to feed, you know, work, sweat of
1:50:39
our brow, and I'm going to tell
1:50:41
you something, I'm 68 years old. How
1:50:43
old are you? 52. Are you in
1:50:46
pretty good shape? Pretty good. Okay. If
1:50:48
you had followed me around, two days
1:50:50
ago, I had a 40-hour stretch from
1:50:53
doing concerts and traveling and having late
1:50:55
airplanes and getting in rent car. I
1:50:57
had a 40-hour stretch that I slept
1:50:59
for 25 minutes. And when I woke
1:51:02
up, did my job, did what I
1:51:04
had to do, it was quality. I
1:51:06
did it the way I was taught
1:51:09
to do it because I know how
1:51:11
to work. Now, for my deal, I'm
1:51:13
grateful to God. I'm not beating you
1:51:16
up. I'm saying I'm grateful to God
1:51:18
for strength. That's the way I feel
1:51:20
about it. To go do what I
1:51:22
have been called to do. But a
1:51:25
lot of, they couldn't have kept up
1:51:27
with me whether they had to sing
1:51:29
and do interviews and do interviews and
1:51:32
do interviews and all that stuff or
1:51:34
not stuff or not stuff or not
1:51:36
stuff or not. They had to quit.
1:51:39
My brothers know how to work. We
1:51:41
pay our taxes. My wife and I
1:51:43
pay 10%. I'm not bragging. I'm saying
1:51:45
I'm being grateful. 10% not of our
1:51:48
net taxable income. We pay 10% of
1:51:50
our gross income to our church. They
1:51:52
do wonderful work. They go into the
1:51:55
community and the black community and help
1:51:57
people do their taxes. They give... Dental
1:51:59
free dental work to take a van.
1:52:01
They give ladies mammograms they have doctors
1:52:04
come in yeah, they do good things
1:52:06
for the community and this is people
1:52:08
who are wealthy and people who are
1:52:11
poor in our church who believe in
1:52:13
giving back hard work and they're not
1:52:15
on the dull. I like my deal
1:52:18
better than the one you talk about
1:52:20
sitting around under ass in the 20s
1:52:22
and smoking camels. I like, by the
1:52:24
way, you're going to plug for that.
1:52:27
Larry Gantlin, the Gantlin Brothers, the album,
1:52:29
the gospel, according to Gantlin, available now.
1:52:31
on Amazon and iTunes and tour dates
1:52:34
all over the place. They're going to
1:52:36
play at the Pavilion in Barton, Texas,
1:52:38
Barton Creek in Austin, Texas, Grand Old
1:52:41
Opry. Does I say that, right? Yep.
1:52:43
Nashville, that's got to be. You know
1:52:45
about the Grandal Opry? Are you some
1:52:47
kind of communists? No, I know what
1:52:50
I have seen. What a wonderful sweet
1:52:52
woman, I love her, I miss her.
1:52:54
The show dates all over the place
1:52:57
and go to Gatlin Brothers.com. Yeah, I'm
1:52:59
gonna, let's talk about hard work and
1:53:01
then I want to ask you about,
1:53:03
I talked to a comedian Norm McDonald
1:53:06
and I think I talked to Kenny
1:53:08
Rogers about you. I think, Gary, what
1:53:10
it was is I had Kenny Rogers
1:53:13
on the radio show and I asked
1:53:15
him about the Gatlin Brothers once and
1:53:17
about coward of the county. We have
1:53:20
me and Norm McDonald, but... I'll get
1:53:22
to that one second. First, Casserole Edge.
1:53:24
Ah, Casserolege. Advanced, full synthetic motor oil,
1:53:26
three times stronger than mobile one against
1:53:29
viscosity breakdown, as per industry, sheer stability
1:53:31
test, and 5W30 great. So, they got
1:53:33
these two films. Casserolege challenged two pro
1:53:36
race car drivers to push the boundaries
1:53:38
of performance. One in an Aston Martin
1:53:40
Vulcan. The other in a coexic. Not
1:53:43
a lot of those in West Texas,
1:53:45
I'm guessing. These drivers were challenged to
1:53:47
beat the best times and what they
1:53:49
did is they did a VR simulator
1:53:52
and then they actually... hit the track,
1:53:54
the Scari racetrack. Anyway, if you want
1:53:56
to check it out, go to a
1:53:59
Castro USA YouTube channel and check it
1:54:01
out. I promise you, you will be
1:54:03
pinned to your seat. titanium strong for
1:54:05
maximum engine performance. It's Castro Edge, baby.
1:54:08
Check it out. All right. I had
1:54:10
a viscosity breakdown one time. Was that
1:54:12
on love line? I'm, I said to
1:54:15
you and Kenny Rogers, it doesn't look
1:54:17
like. It's probably not online. Me and
1:54:19
Norm Macdonald are online. That I've got.
1:54:22
Kenny I spoke to and I don't
1:54:24
think that's up there. But, well, if
1:54:26
you find the coward of the county
1:54:28
and you find him talking about the
1:54:31
Gatlin Brothers and then he goes, well,
1:54:33
we have it with norm, I think.
1:54:35
Yeah. Yeah, let's, let's just hear that.
1:54:38
Okay, it's got a bit of a
1:54:40
head on it, so here, so here,
1:54:42
so here we're on it, so here
1:54:45
we're on it, so here, so here
1:54:47
we're, so here we're, so here we're,
1:54:49
so here we're, so here we're, so
1:54:51
here we're, so here we're, so here
1:54:54
we're, so here we're, so here we're,
1:54:56
so here we're, so here we're, so
1:54:58
here we're, so here we're, so here,
1:55:01
so here, so here, so here All
1:55:03
right, which is true until someone for
1:55:05
every one and Tommy's love was Becky
1:55:07
Becky Becky There was three of them.
1:55:10
Hold on a second. There's three Gatlin
1:55:12
Brothers, right? My mother, my dear sweet
1:55:14
mother, called me, whenever that record was
1:55:17
up, 30 years ago, she was weeping,
1:55:19
sobbing. She said, Larry, I said, what,
1:55:21
Mama, what's wrong? You okay? Kenny Rogers
1:55:24
just accused you, she was, what are
1:55:26
you rooting a girl? I said, what
1:55:28
are you talking about? I don't listen
1:55:30
to the radio. For me to listen
1:55:33
to the radio and listen to music
1:55:35
is like a mailman taking a walk
1:55:37
on his day off. I don't listen
1:55:40
to records. Okay? So I said, what
1:55:42
are you talking about? So I found
1:55:44
the song. And I played the song
1:55:47
and I heard it and I called
1:55:49
Kenny. I said, Kenny, what's up with
1:55:51
this record? because he said you guys,
1:55:53
you guys toured together. We're friends, we
1:55:56
toured together, we've done shows for years.
1:55:58
I said, he said, what are you
1:56:00
talking about? I said, And the Gatlin
1:56:03
boys came calling. They raped this girl
1:56:05
and they had their way. He said,
1:56:07
oh, I didn't think anything about it.
1:56:09
I said, you'd a damn sure thought
1:56:12
something about it. I said, no, they're
1:56:14
Nikki. Met Becky and Kenny Rogers came
1:56:16
and you'd a damn sure thought about
1:56:19
it. Let me tell you the background
1:56:21
quick. And Kenny and I've laughed about
1:56:23
it. And we turned about it. Well,
1:56:26
the comedy was he went, the Gatlin
1:56:28
brothers. We went, all right. You know,
1:56:30
I thought the publicity was bad, but
1:56:32
let me tell you what, my old
1:56:35
friend Johnny Cash told me one time.
1:56:37
I was getting some bad publicity about
1:56:39
another deal. He called me, he said,
1:56:42
Pilgrim, there ain't no such thing as
1:56:44
bad publicity unless they got a picture
1:56:46
of you screwing a goat. So they
1:56:49
don't have... Johnny Casha, that's right. He
1:56:51
was like a big brother I never
1:56:53
had. So I talked to Kenny about
1:56:55
it. And we, the only thing I
1:56:58
could do at that point in time
1:57:00
was go ahead and laugh about it.
1:57:02
Because like I say, we were on
1:57:05
the road with him. I wish he
1:57:07
hadn't done it. Well, now he wrote
1:57:09
the song. No, he didn't write the
1:57:11
song. The guy who wrote, looked at
1:57:14
the guy who wrote, um, Lucille. Find
1:57:16
out, find y'all, Google, who wrote Lucille.
1:57:18
I can't think of, this guy and
1:57:21
I were up, CMA Award for Song
1:57:23
of the Year. He was up for,
1:57:25
you picked Fine Time Really. You picked
1:57:28
Fine Time Time. Yeah, and then it
1:57:30
also was Billy Ed Wheeler. Well, at
1:57:32
Roger Bowling, well, he's dead and I'm
1:57:34
in L.A., so it's a better deal.
1:57:37
You had a song, Burning in Hell.
1:57:39
We had all the Golden California, song
1:57:41
that I'd written, it was up for
1:57:44
song of the year. Lucille was up
1:57:46
for song of the year. We were
1:57:48
in our tuxedos and our fancy alligator
1:57:51
boots and all that stuff, in the
1:57:53
Grand Old Opry House, for the country
1:57:55
music award show, the biggest night in
1:57:57
country music. I went over there. and
1:58:00
said, congratulations man, it's a great song.
1:58:02
And he said, blank you. Gotland. Why?
1:58:04
I said, what? He said, blank you.
1:58:07
I said, let me tell you something,
1:58:09
Halse. He's the guy who wrote the
1:58:11
coward of the county song and put
1:58:13
the Gatlin Brothers in. Yeah. So, okay.
1:58:16
So now I get to the bomb
1:58:18
of this. So he said, I said,
1:58:20
if we weren't in the grand old
1:58:23
arpary house and dressed up in tuxedos,
1:58:25
I would just open a boot shop
1:58:27
in your ass. Wow. Okay? I have
1:58:30
no idea why he did it why
1:58:32
he did it. Why he did it.
1:58:34
Absolutely zero idea. We weren't close, obviously.
1:58:36
Then he wrote the coward of the
1:58:39
county deal. Oh, he wrote it after
1:58:41
that. Yeah. So I have no idea,
1:58:43
but for him to do that, it
1:58:46
was beneath contempt. And Kenny, I cut
1:58:48
Kenny some slack on it, and we
1:58:50
liked Kenny and our good friends. I
1:58:53
used to stay at his house when
1:58:55
we were on tour and play tennis
1:58:57
and all that stuff. And he's on
1:58:59
his farewell tour. and uh... i'd congratulate
1:59:02
him he's had an incredible career well
1:59:04
yeah just one of those things i
1:59:06
don't i don't get it i've had
1:59:09
it is weird when you when you
1:59:11
look back at little snapshots your life
1:59:13
and they just don't make sense certain
1:59:15
certain little episodes where there's something like
1:59:18
this guy was a songwriter you were
1:59:20
songwriter uh... you were songwriter you know
1:59:22
could have been a little jealousy but
1:59:25
most people don't have that for their
1:59:27
for their peers and you had no
1:59:29
interaction with this guy before that none
1:59:32
i'd never spent thirty seconds with him
1:59:34
didn't even know him and you want
1:59:36
up just to say hi like a
1:59:38
couple guys would if you were both
1:59:41
up for the same award yeah showing
1:59:43
a good sportsmanship it's professional courtesy right
1:59:45
and he just tells you to fuck
1:59:48
off yeah and Can you say fuck
1:59:50
you on your show? I think we
1:59:52
can and then and fuck you going
1:59:55
then then Some years later how many
1:59:57
years later? He writes Coward County, he
1:59:59
makes a Gatlinke Brothers a rapist. Yeah.
2:00:01
Yeah, so go figure. That's so weird.
2:00:04
And to this day, now he's gone
2:00:06
now, he's in hell, but you never
2:00:08
got the bomb. It's funny, I just
2:00:11
had a story, I don't believe I've
2:00:13
ever shared on this program, but... Folks,
2:00:15
be ready for this now, we have
2:00:17
a moment right here. This is... I
2:00:20
can feel some really... Most, yeah, most
2:00:22
of the stories everyone's heard a thousand
2:00:24
times, but I don't think I've ever
2:00:27
told this one. I played Little League
2:00:29
Baseball, maybe my second year of Little
2:00:31
League Baseball, and I was, I wasn't
2:00:34
as serious about baseball as it was
2:00:36
about football, but, and I started a
2:00:38
little later, I was probably 10 years
2:00:40
old, and I was playing for a
2:00:43
team called the Cardinals. And we had
2:00:45
this coach, I remember he was a
2:00:47
squatty guy, the big beard and sort
2:00:50
of funny glasses and funny hair, and
2:00:52
just a little sort of rolly poly
2:00:54
funny little squatty man. You're a racist,
2:00:57
oh go ahead I'm sorry. I was
2:00:59
a pretty good ball player and I
2:01:01
think I was a pretty good teammate
2:01:03
and I always was through high school
2:01:06
and always played organized sports and always
2:01:08
got off real well with the coaches
2:01:10
and I was always one of these
2:01:13
guys, it was Mr. Gallagher and Mr.
2:01:15
Johnson and Mr. Nielsen, I didn't even
2:01:17
know these guys' first names. It was
2:01:19
Mr. This or Coach Dad. I didn't
2:01:22
bug him or talk to him about,
2:01:24
you know, I want more playing time
2:01:26
or I want this position, I want
2:01:29
to play center field, not right field.
2:01:31
I never did anything. I had pretty
2:01:33
low self-esteem, whatever you told me to
2:01:36
do, I just did it. was a
2:01:38
mess. But it never came out in
2:01:40
the playing field and it never came
2:01:42
out in the pop Warner field, the
2:01:45
baseball diamond or anything. I was a
2:01:47
good teammate, I was just... sort of
2:01:49
yes can do whatever run a lap
2:01:52
and run a lap do pushups I
2:01:54
do pushups that was it and at
2:01:56
some point about halfway into the season
2:01:59
this coach whose name escapes me he
2:02:01
just went up to my my mom
2:02:03
or something and he said I can't
2:02:05
work with this kid anymore and I
2:02:08
remember very clearly called me pig headed
2:02:10
said this guy's pig headed I want
2:02:12
him off the team and I want
2:02:15
to trade him. And I remember thinking,
2:02:17
like, I don't remember asking to pitch
2:02:19
or asking to, I didn't ask to
2:02:21
do anything, I just played. I was
2:02:24
a pretty good player and that was
2:02:26
about it. And I got traded to
2:02:28
another team and I hit my first
2:02:31
home run with that other team and
2:02:33
did pretty good with that other team.
2:02:35
But to this day, I have no
2:02:38
idea what inspired this guy. And you
2:02:40
know, it's one of these things where
2:02:42
I try to try to look back
2:02:44
to look back to look back to
2:02:47
look back and go. But because I
2:02:49
played popcorn or football starting at age
2:02:51
seven and I never got in a
2:02:54
fight, I never got, I never got
2:02:56
benched by coach, I never, I never
2:02:58
got, I never jawed at anybody and
2:03:00
I never had an issue and I
2:03:03
played football through high school and baseball
2:03:05
through high school. I think if you
2:03:07
have contacted any coach I ever had,
2:03:10
they just go, he was a funny
2:03:12
guy. There's a good player, a nice
2:03:14
guy. That was about it. Good teammateate.
2:03:17
I have no idea. Why this. I
2:03:19
did that. I would offer that it
2:03:21
was life teaching you, the Rousseau Camille,
2:03:23
if you can sleep on the ground,
2:03:26
you can sleep anywhere. So those things
2:03:28
that are difficult for us, that teach
2:03:30
us how to do things, I have
2:03:33
a little bit of a bad back
2:03:35
right now, and I'm going to go
2:03:37
get it worked on. But being able
2:03:40
to do my job and do it
2:03:42
well, even when I'm not 100%, you
2:03:44
talk about baseball, the great pitchers. The
2:03:46
Hall of Famers can get you out
2:03:49
when they ain't got their best stuff.
2:03:51
You travail through that, that old deal,
2:03:53
but what does not kill me makes
2:03:56
me stronger. But I believe in that.
2:03:58
I believe in that. life teaches you
2:04:00
those things and either we and it's
2:04:02
so trite and cliched to say we
2:04:05
bet you know what doesn't kill us
2:04:07
make it strong the hard things like
2:04:09
you know why things get to be
2:04:11
truisms because they're true yeah so when
2:04:13
you get through that kind of shit
2:04:15
you're stronger on the other side
2:04:17
of it I guarantee you from daddy's
2:04:19
work ethic from us having to work
2:04:22
hard as we were kids from you
2:04:24
know pushing the bus when it
2:04:26
wouldn't start tour bus you know
2:04:28
the tour bus doing all that
2:04:30
stuff It's pretty hard to throw
2:04:32
something at the Gatlin boys
2:04:35
that we can't, that we
2:04:37
can't go do and do
2:04:39
a quality Java. Now what
2:04:42
are they? Four or five?
2:04:44
Oh no, wait, three. Three.
2:04:46
Three. Three. Three. Two brothers.
2:04:48
I have two brothers. My
2:04:50
sister has three. The, uh,
2:04:53
no, repeat. He missed it.
2:04:55
The, the ability to work.
2:04:57
And I, this is another
2:04:59
thing. Everyone's worried about air
2:05:01
conditioning and time off and how
2:05:03
much time can we get off. It's
2:05:06
a big battle about how much
2:05:08
time can we get off and how
2:05:10
much maternity time and doesn't the
2:05:12
dad need a few months of maternity
2:05:14
leave and what about the gay
2:05:16
couple they deserve maternity leave as well
2:05:19
and this really that's a vision
2:05:21
I do not want to contemplate
2:05:23
it's coming. It's coming. The point
2:05:25
is this. Stop fighting
2:05:27
so hard for days
2:05:29
off. It's weakening you. It's
2:05:32
an insane thing. It's this
2:05:34
weird, it's a weird thing
2:05:36
that people, they push so
2:05:38
hard toward the pleasure
2:05:40
part of life that
2:05:42
they don't realize that
2:05:45
they're robbing themselves of
2:05:47
the satisfaction part of
2:05:49
life. I've been doing,
2:05:52
I've been in show business
2:05:54
for... you know twenty some
2:05:56
odd years now and i
2:05:58
i haven't really had financially
2:06:01
to do a lot of the work I used
2:06:03
to be a carpenter and I haven't
2:06:05
had to I didn't have to
2:06:08
build this studio and I didn't
2:06:10
have to build this console
2:06:12
this this console we're leaning
2:06:14
on I remember well the we
2:06:16
sort of knocked off on a Friday
2:06:18
and I'd been I ordered this
2:06:20
red laminate and that I ordered
2:06:23
it it's funny going back to
2:06:25
all these old places I used
2:06:27
to order materials for and when
2:06:29
I used to work it for
2:06:31
a living doing that stuff and
2:06:33
now coming back driving a Jaguar
2:06:35
and still ordering the same stuff
2:06:37
but coming from a different place and
2:06:39
being able to pay for it but I'd
2:06:41
go back to some of these old places
2:06:44
these hardwood supply places and
2:06:46
big plywood places and laminate
2:06:48
custom laminate place and I
2:06:50
ordered this stuff up and it showed
2:06:52
up at the end of the day on
2:06:55
Friday. So my guys were all knocking off
2:06:57
at 3.30 and this thing showed up at
2:06:59
3.25 and everyone just sort of looked at
2:07:01
me and said well we'll lay it up
2:07:03
Monday first thing in the morning. We'll get
2:07:06
started and I said yeah because it just
2:07:08
came in and I was chomping at the
2:07:10
bit because I wanted to see this console
2:07:12
finished you know. And sure enough I came
2:07:14
in on Saturday alone. And it's a
2:07:17
little cumbersome because the sheet was
2:07:19
like five feet wide and ten
2:07:21
feet long and it's couple maybe
2:07:24
a millimeter thick and it's unwieldy.
2:07:26
But I knew from my former days
2:07:28
of working in a cabinet shop how
2:07:30
to how to lay this up alone,
2:07:32
which is basically you take this
2:07:34
for mica that again if you got
2:07:37
a picture at about. five foot wide
2:07:39
and about ten foot long and just
2:07:41
how unwieldy that would be. And you
2:07:43
have to use contact cement. You don't
2:07:45
put this stuff down with hot glue
2:07:47
or caulking or anything. You do contact
2:07:49
cement. You take a roller, you do one side,
2:07:52
the inside surface of the laminate, and then you
2:07:54
do the top side or the other thing
2:07:56
that the console that you're going to put
2:07:58
it to and I can tell you. It's
2:08:00
weird, but you have to wait for both
2:08:02
of them to dry, completely dry. Put your
2:08:05
hand in the middle of it, put
2:08:07
your hand on the console, put your
2:08:09
hand on the material, pick it up,
2:08:11
dries a bone. Then when they touch, just
2:08:13
touch, they weld together. So if
2:08:16
there's anything where you're laying up
2:08:18
something mistakenly apart flops down and
2:08:20
touches, it'll tear it before you
2:08:22
can fix it. So how do
2:08:24
you get this 10-foot piece that's
2:08:26
five foot wide on this thing?
2:08:28
Will you do a whole bunch
2:08:30
of? thin dowels. You put a
2:08:32
whole bunch of sticks like every
2:08:34
16, 18 inches. You set it
2:08:36
on top. It's dry. Dows will
2:08:38
roll around. Then you lay the
2:08:40
sheet down on top of the
2:08:42
dows and you sort of roll
2:08:44
it around to you get it
2:08:46
just how you want it. Then
2:08:48
you start pulling the
2:08:50
dows out sequentially and
2:08:52
patting the thing down. I was
2:08:55
here on Saturday. I think a
2:08:57
lot of people... Think well look let
2:08:59
somebody else do it or let pay the
2:09:01
guys or have them do it or tell
2:09:03
them to do it on Monday I get
2:09:06
a lot of Satisfaction how to doing it
2:09:08
on a Saturday, and I think it
2:09:10
spills into other facets of my
2:09:12
life Absolutely, and every time you
2:09:14
sit here It's a thing of joy to you.
2:09:16
It's a thing of pride you did that
2:09:18
with your hands. I will sit at the
2:09:20
waffle house and watch a short order cook
2:09:23
for an hour after I finish my ome
2:09:25
It's unbelievable the way they work
2:09:27
in those kids. They have if they put
2:09:29
the butter on the search if the waitress
2:09:31
puts the butter on a certain side of
2:09:33
the plate that means It's a scramble
2:09:35
ag the system that these people
2:09:37
do hard-working people They know how
2:09:40
to do it. They do it. They do it.
2:09:42
I love to watch somebody at their craft Yeah,
2:09:44
baseball. I love somebody who hit
2:09:46
the cutoff man. Yep. You're making
2:09:48
10 million dollars a year and
2:09:50
you can't hit the damn cutoff
2:09:52
man. No I I agree. I
2:09:54
don't I don't know why we
2:09:56
decide that working with your hands
2:09:58
or working on your feet or
2:10:00
working hard or working a job
2:10:02
where your forehead gets sweaty. Why
2:10:05
that's demeaning? It's somehow, I think
2:10:07
the left has decided that's demeaning
2:10:09
to people. Like, you know, they
2:10:11
do this thing where, you know,
2:10:14
nobody's gonna do this and who's
2:10:16
gonna pick your vegetables if we,
2:10:18
you know, beef up the borders
2:10:20
and who's gonna... People, people, people
2:10:22
who work. People want to work.
2:10:25
People should work. Young people. I
2:10:27
did, I wrote a song and
2:10:29
I'm not trying to do that
2:10:31
old deal. Well, let's get back
2:10:33
to me, but let's talk about
2:10:36
me. Because you told a really
2:10:38
long story that had nothing to
2:10:40
do with me. Now it's all
2:10:42
about laminates. And I'm your guess.
2:10:45
Denesha's movie. Denesha's movie. The way
2:10:47
that the left has brainwashed the
2:10:49
people and put them in the
2:10:51
20th century plantationsations. the slums of
2:10:53
the inner cities in the north
2:10:56
mainly and in the south and
2:10:58
have enslaved them with welfare and
2:11:00
told them that they are owed
2:11:02
a living come vote for us
2:11:04
and we'll keep giving it to
2:11:07
you there is no pride of
2:11:09
craftsmanship there is no pride in
2:11:11
working there is nothing that is
2:11:13
noble that my father taught us
2:11:16
and somebody taught you about the
2:11:18
laminate deal and as such we
2:11:20
have people whose existence It's just
2:11:22
that. I wrote a song, my
2:11:24
favorite line I ever wrote a
2:11:27
song. Was it about laminate? It's
2:11:29
really about laminate. Oh, the subtext
2:11:31
is laminate. It's laminate. Yes. The
2:11:33
line says just existing makes dying
2:11:35
look easy. Yeah. But maybe tomorrow,
2:11:38
I've done enough dying today. What
2:11:40
it should be, not doing your
2:11:42
own laminate, really. sucks big time.
2:11:44
Yeah, so that's got a ring
2:11:47
to it. I'll work on that's
2:11:49
that's finger-popping right there. Yeah, it'll
2:11:51
get them. No, you're you're it's
2:11:53
a great lyric and I want
2:11:55
to get back to it one
2:11:58
second because I I have thoughts,
2:12:00
believe it or not, on what
2:12:02
you just said. First, simply safe.
2:12:04
I met the engineer who invented
2:12:07
Simply Save. Can I go pee
2:12:09
while you're talking about Simply say?
2:12:11
Yeah, go ahead. Folks, I'll be
2:12:13
right back. Now, number two, I
2:12:15
don't know if I can stretch
2:12:18
it that far, but number one.
2:12:20
Yeah, okay. The engineer. My hands
2:12:22
are clean, you want me to
2:12:24
pee for you? Yeah, simply safe.
2:12:26
So the guy invented it, was
2:12:29
at Harvard. Friends got ripped off,
2:12:31
they got robbed, the place got
2:12:33
robbed. So he, is the greatest
2:12:35
friend ever, started shopping, looking at
2:12:38
companies, trying to figure out the
2:12:40
security company. And they're like clunky
2:12:42
and expensive and I got to
2:12:44
drill holes and I got to
2:12:46
pull wires and it's a mess.
2:12:49
Anyway, he invented Simply Save. He
2:12:51
did what smart hardworking dudes do.
2:12:53
He just went, this doesn't exist.
2:12:55
Well now it's gonna, no drilling.
2:12:57
Just 1499 a month, three times
2:13:00
less than most security companies. No
2:13:02
long-term lock-in contracts, no long commitments.
2:13:04
And right now you get a
2:13:06
hundred bucks off my hand-picked security
2:13:09
system. I got the entry and
2:13:11
the motion sensor and the glass-breaking
2:13:13
sensor. Go to Simply Safe Atom.com.
2:13:15
That's Simply Safe Atom.com. All right,
2:13:17
Larry Gantlin is shaking the dew
2:13:20
off the lily. He'll be in
2:13:22
I'm glad I got to the
2:13:24
bottom of that story It's pretty
2:13:26
crazy story, isn't it? Gary pretty
2:13:28
nuts. He goes up and he's
2:13:31
trying to glad hand with a
2:13:33
dude and then two years later
2:13:35
his mom calls him and goes,
2:13:37
why are you? My boy's raping.
2:13:40
It's bizarre. That's insanity. I agree.
2:13:42
All right. So that line Repeat
2:13:44
that existing line one more time
2:13:46
for us just existing makes dying
2:13:48
look easy. Right. You want to
2:13:51
hear it? I've got my guitar.
2:13:53
Oh, yeah. Okay. Save your place.
2:13:55
So what I'm saying is, is,
2:13:57
yes, it's easy. I remember myself.
2:13:59
at a certain point in my
2:14:02
life. Now, I didn't grow up
2:14:04
in the inner city and I
2:14:06
wasn't gangbanging, but you say, you
2:14:08
hear these stories and somebody says,
2:14:11
geez, he shot this guy over
2:14:13
$10 or he fired at this
2:14:15
guy, you know, he was 14
2:14:17
years old in the open fire
2:14:19
and he said, what about his
2:14:22
life, doesn't he worry, what about
2:14:24
his family, will you remove... When
2:14:26
prison or death is sort of
2:14:28
a lateral move, I'm where you
2:14:30
are now, of course you're going
2:14:33
to do that. I mean, I
2:14:35
can tell you, just in my
2:14:37
own experience, I was poor, I
2:14:39
was somewhat depressed, I had no
2:14:42
future, and I wrote a motorcycle,
2:14:44
and it had a bald back
2:14:46
tire, and I'd ride it in
2:14:48
the rain, and I didn't care.
2:14:50
I was 19 or 20. I
2:14:53
had nothing to look forward to,
2:14:55
but it's just a hard life.
2:14:57
At that time, in my mind,
2:14:59
it was going to be a
2:15:01
long struggle, met with a lot
2:15:04
of manual labor, and I wasn't
2:15:06
attempting to kill myself, but I
2:15:08
rode around a motorcycle with a
2:15:10
bald tire in the rain and
2:15:13
I just didn't care. Now, now,
2:15:15
I have stuff to lose. So
2:15:17
I don't ride around on a
2:15:19
motorcycle in the rain with a
2:15:21
bald tire because I have things
2:15:24
to lose. These guys growing up
2:15:26
in the inner city, they've got
2:15:28
nothing to lose. If you don't
2:15:30
give somebody something to lose, then
2:15:33
who cares? Shoot a cop, shoot
2:15:35
a neighbor, shoot yourself. It doesn't
2:15:37
matter. Everything's a lateral move. Well,
2:15:39
freedom. Freedom for one is different
2:15:41
than freedom for the, you know,
2:15:44
my friend Chris Christopherson wrote what
2:15:46
I think is the greatest line
2:15:48
in history, freedom is just another
2:15:50
word for nothing left to lose.
2:15:52
Well, made famous by Janice Joplin.
2:15:55
But Janice Joplin, so that kind
2:15:57
of freedom means that you're going
2:15:59
to go hold up a liquor,
2:16:01
that is freedom, but it is
2:16:04
a horrible kind of freedom that
2:16:06
says, devil may care, you know,
2:16:08
I'm going to go do this
2:16:10
anyway. context of my song was
2:16:12
it's a love song I mean
2:16:15
it's like what will we do
2:16:17
now you tell me the hour
2:16:19
glasses all out of sand I
2:16:21
was up to 1130 last night
2:16:23
high notes are hard how could
2:16:26
love slip through our fingers and
2:16:28
leave nothing but time on our
2:16:30
hands and how will we live
2:16:32
now you tell me With parts
2:16:35
of our hearts torn away Just
2:16:37
existing makes dying look easy But
2:16:39
maybe tomorrow I've done enough dying
2:16:41
Today So in the context of
2:16:43
a love song that means a
2:16:46
certain thing to me, you know
2:16:48
as it would a breakup or
2:16:50
whatever of two people but I'd
2:16:52
never thought of it in the
2:16:54
context of In the hood,
2:16:57
it can mean who gives crap?
2:16:59
I'm going to go do this.
2:17:01
I'm just existing now. Anything's better
2:17:03
than this. I'm going to go
2:17:05
hold up a liquor store. I'm
2:17:07
going to sell drugs. I'm going
2:17:09
to do whatever. Really think about
2:17:11
whether you're living or and or
2:17:14
you're in some parts of the
2:17:16
Middle East and you're sleeping on
2:17:18
a dirt floor and there's a
2:17:20
scorpion crawling on your head at
2:17:22
night, hard to find clean water,
2:17:24
why not put on an explosive
2:17:26
vest and go into an airport?
2:17:28
What is the difference? I mean
2:17:30
I can tell you, you know,
2:17:32
growing up with a fair amount
2:17:35
of poverty, you know, no air
2:17:37
conditioning, sort of uncomfortable, not a
2:17:39
lot of amenities, you know. Prison
2:17:41
honestly is honestly a lateral move
2:17:43
to a lot of would be
2:17:45
a lateral move to a lot
2:17:47
of folks. In this country, in
2:17:49
a step up for half the
2:17:51
homeless guys, you drive past. At
2:17:53
least it's worth taking the chance.
2:17:56
It's worth going ahead and walking
2:17:58
with me. Well, if somebody said-
2:18:00
Then the wire without a net.
2:18:02
Yeah, for sure. Like if somebody,
2:18:04
look, if somebody says this Mexican
2:18:06
drug cartel, they're going to give
2:18:08
you $10,000 just to go ahead
2:18:10
and drive across the border with
2:18:12
this duffel bag and you go.
2:18:14
All right, well I could go
2:18:17
to prison, but $10,000 is more
2:18:19
money I'm ever going to see
2:18:21
in my life and I'm going
2:18:23
back to dirt floor and not
2:18:25
a lot of food. Yeah, you
2:18:27
take that chance. Yeah. And I
2:18:29
got to tell you, if somebody
2:18:31
would have got hold of me
2:18:33
when I was 19 and said,
2:18:36
take this duffel bag and go
2:18:38
to Tijuana, I'll give you $10,
2:18:40
I think I would have done
2:18:42
it. Because they'll make it a
2:18:44
hundred, I made too. It was
2:18:46
a little desperate. It was a
2:18:48
little desperate. It was a little
2:18:50
desperate. It was a little desperate.
2:18:52
It was a little desperate. something
2:18:54
to lose. I want to write
2:18:57
a song to some people. Something
2:18:59
to that and they got nothing
2:19:01
to lose for them to stay
2:19:03
in prison just a lateral move.
2:19:05
Nice. Boy, that is good. Let
2:19:07
me write that. Please work some
2:19:09
laminate talking to that if you
2:19:11
could. Laminate. Laminate. Laminate. Oh, how
2:19:13
about for mica? That's no good.
2:19:15
Oh, there's also one called Wilson
2:19:18
Art, and I know it's going
2:19:20
to get that reference. I'll tell
2:19:22
you what. Laminate? I like contaminant.
2:19:24
I can ride crap and claw
2:19:26
hammer. I just telling everybody, people,
2:19:28
look, and that thing about losing
2:19:30
something, it doesn't need to be
2:19:32
a mansion and a Rolls Royce.
2:19:34
It just means it could be...
2:19:36
your pride it could be your
2:19:39
work it could be your family
2:19:41
you know whatever it is you
2:19:43
got a value something that that
2:19:45
value that's something you value doesn't
2:19:47
have to have value it just
2:19:49
has to have meaning to you
2:19:51
to you and if you do

and the Gatlin Brothers album, The

2:21:55
dates for the hardest working band

in country music. And you're the...
2:21:59
You know, the word gospel just
2:22:01
means good news. And the good
2:22:03
news is we don't preach to
2:22:06
anybody. So it's our kind of
2:22:08
Christian message, but it has a
2:22:10
song on there about my recovery
2:22:12
from drugs, you know, and alcohol.
2:22:14
And I see, the first line
2:22:16
is, I thought I was dancing
2:22:18
till somebody stepped on my finger.
2:22:20
So, you know, it's not exactly
2:22:22
amazing grace in B flat. Stuff

2:23:07
give a hand to Elijah. Here,
2:23:09
who've left a chair open for.
2:23:11
Thank you very much for coming
2:23:13
out tonight. That is Allison Rosen
2:23:16
over there. Hello everyone. Bald Brian
2:23:18
to my left. Ben Schwartz is
2:23:20
coming out here and we have
2:23:23
a passage from Allison's books. You've
2:23:25
been working on I believe last
2:23:27
year so we'll get to that
2:23:29
just a second. I don't have...
2:23:32
You know when we do these
2:23:34
kind of shows in front of
2:23:36
an audience I try to preload
2:23:39
three or four ideas before we
2:23:41
come up on stage I have
2:23:43
something to talk about. Tonight I
2:23:45
only have one. and it's a
2:23:48
taco shell and so I'm gonna
2:23:50
need some help here because there's
2:23:52
not a lot to go off
2:23:55
of but you only have about
2:23:57
45 minutes I can probably do
2:23:59
45 50 minutes on taco shells
2:24:01
so you know what does that
2:24:04
include soft tacos because then we're
2:24:06
over an hour Although I would
2:24:08
like some fucking clarification on fish
2:24:11
tacos, because I've ordered the fish
2:24:13
tacos where you get the mahi-mahi
2:24:15
and you get the little tortilla
2:24:17
and it has the weird tartar,
2:24:20
whatever sauce, this, you know, Mexican
2:24:22
secret sauce, which I'm guessing involves
2:24:24
seamen, but sparingly. It's a secret.
2:24:27
And then there's the fish, look,
2:24:29
here's what I'm saying. There are
2:24:31
times when you order the fish
2:24:33
tacos because you're trying to make
2:24:36
a healthy choice, right? because it's
2:24:38
the ahi tuna with all the
2:24:40
cabbage and everything but then you
2:24:43
get all the little breaded pieces
2:24:45
of cod and it's covered with
2:24:47
the deep fried batter and it's
2:24:49
covered with the thousand island dressing
2:24:52
and it's actually worse than getting
2:24:54
the pork taco and I know
2:24:56
it sounds sexual but what I'm
2:24:59
saying is is I need some
2:25:01
clarity. Like I need to know.
2:25:03
I had, I had fish tacos
2:25:06
tonight that were horrible for me.
2:25:08
Yes. Because there were a bunch
2:25:10
of little deep fried breaded battery.
2:25:12
I may as well just ordered
2:25:15
McNuggets. After a lifetime of dieting,
2:25:17
here's pretty much what I've realized.
2:25:19
If it tastes good, it's fattening.
2:25:22
Okay, all right. So where the
2:25:24
taco is good? Yeah, they were
2:25:26
good. Okay, it's bad for me.
2:25:28
Okay, but I, the guy behind
2:25:31
the counter needs to tell you
2:25:33
which fish taco you're getting. And
2:25:35
I don't feel like we have
2:25:38
three different kinds of steak taco,
2:25:40
pork taco, you know, we have
2:25:42
a soft taco and a hard
2:25:44
shell taco, but fish taco, it's
2:25:47
a crap shoot. So, um, my,
2:25:49
my, uh, my nanny, it was,
2:25:51
uh, it was, taco night. last
2:25:54
night at my house which used
2:25:56
to be I feel like my
2:25:58
kid should be much more excited
2:26:00
by you know what I mean?
2:26:03
and then there's you just put
2:26:05
night behind anything yeah taco night
2:26:07
hey it's twister night it's molestation
2:26:10
night like if you put night
2:26:12
eat sand night yeah if you
2:26:14
put night oh by the way my
2:26:16
oh I should okay now I got a
2:26:19
hold every thought tonight I
2:26:21
was skipping my rope And
2:26:23
my daughter came bounding up into my
2:26:25
room that I skipped my rope in
2:26:27
and she said she'd been doing a
2:26:29
lot of thinking and she wants her
2:26:31
own ring tone and she's tired of
2:26:33
sunny stealing all her thunder with if
2:26:35
that's just a waste of my time.
2:26:37
We got a decent one? Yeah, I know.
2:26:39
I told her about that one and daddy
2:26:42
stopped talking and stuff. She announced she
2:26:44
wanted a new one and it was
2:26:46
a Bruce Springsteen guitar riff, which she
2:26:48
then did for me. And I told
2:26:50
her she needed to talk to James
2:26:52
Baby Dahl Dixon because I couldn't make
2:26:54
these kinds of decisions without him. He'd
2:26:57
get pissed off at me. Well, I'm
2:26:59
surprised she doesn't have representation.
2:27:01
Also, not to be a diva. Is
2:27:03
there any way we could... I feel like I'm being
2:27:06
interrogated by that interrogated
2:27:08
by that light? Angled any other way.
2:27:10
It does seem exceptionally hot. Yeah, the
2:27:12
light was bouncing off Bald Bryan's forehead.
2:27:14
It's like it's like his forehead. It's
2:27:17
like I felt like I was piloting
2:27:19
a light aircraft and his forehead was
2:27:21
stuck on an island and it was
2:27:23
trying to signal me. I know. You
2:27:25
know what I mean? It's like I'm
2:27:28
burning ants. Yeah, that's what it was.
2:27:30
the Hubble head over there. So, all
2:27:32
right, tacos. Here's what I like in
2:27:34
life. You guys tell me if you
2:27:36
like this part of life. It's my
2:27:38
favorite part of life. Tacos that we
2:27:41
were eating on taco night, which
2:27:43
again, should meet with more enthusiasm
2:27:45
from my children than it actually
2:27:47
does, like big whoop, it's taco
2:27:50
night. I'm more excited. Me and
2:27:52
the dog are more excited, it's
2:27:55
taco night. I've noticed that the
2:27:57
taco shells now stand on their
2:27:59
own. Yes, they've squared off
2:28:01
the bottom of the taco shell,
2:28:04
the flat bottom, the flat bottom,
2:28:06
they flattened out the bottom of
2:28:08
the taco shell. Like an iPhone
2:28:10
stand. Yeah, they're right. Formally, tacos
2:28:12
were basically just like drunken people
2:28:14
with zip ties around their ankles.
2:28:16
I mean, that's why I always thought of
2:28:19
taco shells. I know you all did too,
2:28:21
but I mean, it's like, it's just, they
2:28:23
would not, and then somebody had to invent
2:28:26
a long wooden stick. that had a
2:28:28
bunch of notches in it. You
2:28:30
know, if you're professionally into tacos,
2:28:32
like if you were going to,
2:28:34
you know, if you were upping
2:28:37
your taco game to the point
2:28:39
where you were going to make
2:28:41
six or eight of these at
2:28:43
once, you had a taco, I
2:28:45
don't know, taco rack on a
2:28:47
stick or something. Yeah, taco rake.
2:28:49
Yeah, taco rake. Yeah. And it
2:28:52
sounds like a small town outside
2:28:54
Arizona. Where are you from? Taco
2:28:56
rake. Oh. I've always feel like people
2:28:58
are lying when they do that. Yeah.
2:29:01
Because there's a place you've never heard
2:29:03
of and they're like four minutes from
2:29:05
the airport, on top of the airport,
2:29:08
in the airport, under and on and
2:29:10
in the airport. It's on the tram.
2:29:12
Mm-hmm. That's what Taco Reikas.
2:29:14
So they've now invented taco
2:29:16
shells that stand on their own. And
2:29:18
I love this part of life because it
2:29:21
does not require any more
2:29:23
technology. It doesn't require any
2:29:25
more materials, it doesn't require
2:29:27
any more labor, it doesn't
2:29:29
do, it doesn't require anything
2:29:31
except for a good fucking idea. It's
2:29:33
just a correction. It's a correction, but
2:29:35
then it also makes me think, how
2:29:38
many fucking years were we having these
2:29:40
capsized tacos? Like every single time thing
2:29:42
would fall over and then all the
2:29:45
grated cheese would be like, oh, the
2:29:47
humanity, no, I'm going over the side, look
2:29:49
out, hang on shredded lettuce. Or like you
2:29:51
take a bite of. Huh? Oh yeah, right.
2:29:53
Yeah, no, yeah. Right, right. What to
2:29:56
do? And that is about the time
2:29:58
you decide you should go the bathrooms
2:30:00
after that first bite of Mexican food.
2:30:02
What to do? Do! Yeah! I wonder
2:30:04
if Fuel Houser was lucky enough to
2:30:06
see the flat bottom taco. Oh, let's
2:30:08
pray. Because that would have really been
2:30:11
the topper. You know, whenever I talk
2:30:13
to an athlete or performer who won
2:30:15
like a Heisman or who won an
2:30:17
Academy Award or Super Bowl or something
2:30:19
and then they tell me about how
2:30:21
their dad passed on, I always ask
2:30:23
and pray that he was there long
2:30:25
enough to see them hoist a Lombardi
2:30:27
or win the Heisman or whatever it
2:30:30
is. And let's hope that Jule was
2:30:32
around long enough to see that. A
2:30:34
taco shell that stood on its own
2:30:36
two feet. This is amazing. Much like
2:30:38
that great man did here in the
2:30:40
San Fernando Valley for so many years.
2:30:42
I have a taco issue to bring
2:30:44
up. The other day I was eating
2:30:46
tortilla chips and one went down sideways
2:30:49
and like I think kind of scraped
2:30:51
the bottom of my mouth on its
2:30:53
way down and I actually suggested that
2:30:55
maybe I needed stitches because there
2:30:57
was a tiny river of blood.
2:30:59
I find hard taco shells to
2:31:01
be pretty dangerous. Yeah. Where do you
2:31:04
stand on this? Well, first off, as
2:31:06
you, well, may or may not know,
2:31:08
I lost a twin brother to a
2:31:10
taco shell shard in 1971. It's, yeah,
2:31:12
it's not something I like to talk
2:31:14
about. Yeah, you cavalierly have taco
2:31:17
night. Well, you know what? He
2:31:19
would have wanted us. Darryl would
2:31:21
have wanted that for us. I
2:31:23
don't want to press him to
2:31:25
details, but did he live long
2:31:27
enough to see that you do the
2:31:29
man show? That's the point. That's the
2:31:32
sad part. He does not know that
2:31:34
side of me. Yeah, he got a,
2:31:36
he bit into it. It exploded. I
2:31:38
tore retina on a bichard of shell
2:31:40
and then he got one lodge
2:31:42
in his esophagus and he just
2:31:45
dropped and he died doing what
2:31:47
he loved eating Mexican food. You
2:31:49
know, it was taco night and
2:31:51
we vowed to carry on, you
2:31:53
know, in his name. They should
2:31:55
make them like plate glass. So
2:31:57
that when it cracks. You mean
2:31:59
like safety glass. That's what I
2:32:01
mean, right? Yeah, exactly not. They
2:32:03
are like plate glass right now
2:32:05
and that you could actually decapitate
2:32:07
yourself with the card. Right, right.
2:32:09
I know I agree. That's the
2:32:11
fakest part of all the movies
2:32:13
when the guy blows out all
2:32:15
the car windows and everything's flying
2:32:17
everywhere. Yes. All right, so tacos
2:32:19
can stand on their own two
2:32:21
feet now and I am simply
2:32:23
in love with this notion. I
2:32:25
really am and maybe I'm making
2:32:27
a bigger deal out of it
2:32:29
than I should. taco revelation that's
2:32:31
going on right now no more
2:32:34
I'm just saying but here's the
2:32:36
thing what 65 years of tacos
2:32:38
falling over before somebody like I
2:32:40
mean here's all I'm interested in
2:32:42
life you take a taco and
2:32:44
you set it down and it
2:32:46
falls over because the bottom of
2:32:48
it is rounded right right at
2:32:50
that point When the first one
2:32:52
came off the conveyor belt in
2:32:54
1941, shouldn't have somebody, somebody said,
2:32:56
well, hey, wait a minute, maybe
2:32:58
if we squared off the bottom
2:33:00
of these bad boys, they wouldn't
2:33:02
fall over. All it takes is
2:33:04
a new mold. How many millions?
2:33:06
Millions of tacos have fallen over.
2:33:08
I'll bet you. That's, you're being,
2:33:10
uh, billions. Yeah. Cajillions of tacos
2:33:12
have fallen over. How much ground
2:33:14
beef in cows in cows. In
2:33:16
cows. You know what I mean?
2:33:18
It's scary to imagine. Billions, how
2:33:20
much ground beef is spilled onto
2:33:22
the floor. The ground beef, the
2:33:24
flavor, the carnay carnage. The carnage,
2:33:26
yes, how much, how much beautifully
2:33:28
seasoned ground beef and shredded lettuce.
2:33:30
It's one of the few applications
2:33:32
for the shredded lettuce. It really
2:33:35
is. I don't know who decided
2:33:37
it must be shredded for this
2:33:39
one application. How much of that
2:33:41
has hit the floor of either
2:33:43
the dining room at the Mexican
2:33:45
joint or your own house, huh?
2:33:47
How many dogs have diabetes right
2:33:49
now because they have eaten what
2:33:51
has fallen off of that table
2:33:53
because of the tacos who could
2:33:55
not stand on their own two
2:33:57
feet? I know. Well I say
2:33:59
it's time to... Stop people. Thank
2:34:01
you. It's powerful. Yes. You know
2:34:03
who I'm going to get to
2:34:05
talk about this? Bill Cosby. He
2:34:07
tried it with the black community.
2:34:09
It didn't go so well. I
2:34:11
feel he could work the taco
2:34:13
community with this. All right. Now
2:34:15
do you have a passage from
2:34:17
your book? I do. And I
2:34:19
think we need to explain it.
2:34:21
So what happened was, like last
2:34:23
year I guess, we were talking
2:34:25
about someone who had written a
2:34:27
memo, we were talking about a
2:34:29
pregnancy memoir, and then you were
2:34:31
saying that I- Every cop out
2:34:34
celebrity rights. even dudes these days,
2:34:36
right? You know, what it's like
2:34:38
to be pregnant. Right. Right. And
2:34:40
then, oh, Jenny McCarthy. She's so
2:34:42
brave. She talked about being fat.
2:34:44
Her nipple, sir. She's a hero.
2:34:46
Right. Yeah. And then you were
2:34:48
saying that I should write a
2:34:50
pregnancy memoir and I said, well,
2:34:52
but I'm not. pregnant and then
2:34:54
you said but now's the time
2:34:56
now's the time right because when
2:34:58
you are pregnant you're gonna be
2:35:00
you know busy with the being
2:35:02
pregnant being pregnant pumping yeah and
2:35:04
then it's just you know gonna
2:35:06
be 18 years or whatever yeah
2:35:08
however many of me and people
2:35:10
are gonna call you a poser
2:35:12
like oh you're only writing a
2:35:14
book on pregnancy because you're pregnant
2:35:16
right so obviously you know what
2:35:18
I mean like people do with
2:35:20
me in Vietnam oh yeah because
2:35:22
you get a lot of like
2:35:24
you really should have been in
2:35:26
Vietnam to write about it. And
2:35:28
I'm like, it's called an imagination.
2:35:30
Yeah, it's called Google. You know
2:35:32
what? Maybe you guys were too
2:35:35
close to Vietnam. You guys had
2:35:37
survived the TED offensive. Yeah, I
2:35:39
mean, maybe you have a, you
2:35:41
have a unique angle on it.
2:35:43
Right, exactly. That's right. That's right.
2:35:45
You really have to not be
2:35:47
there to be able to write
2:35:49
about it, which is kind of
2:35:51
the heart of what. Like a
2:35:53
phone psychic. The reason I can
2:35:55
tell your future is because I
2:35:57
don't know you exactly and you're
2:35:59
giving me You'd get on muddy
2:36:01
with the details right Yeah, so
2:36:03
this is what I'd expect if
2:36:05
I were expecting Well, I went
2:36:07
to visit doctor after Buzzkill yesterday
2:36:09
and he told me if I
2:36:11
gained one more ounce I'd be
2:36:13
endangering the baby. The baby I
2:36:15
thought to myself, the real danger
2:36:17
is to my waistline self-esteem and
2:36:19
any bag of chips in a
2:36:21
20 mile radius. We're talking major
2:36:23
cravings here people. Barbecue, cool ranch,
2:36:25
sour cream and onions, salt and
2:36:27
vinegar, vinegar and water. I don't
2:36:29
care if they taste like douche.
2:36:31
If they're greasy and covered in
2:36:34
salt I will eat. But you
2:36:36
needy on ice, which is how
2:36:38
I got into this mess to
2:36:40
begin with, L-O-L. But seriously, I
2:36:42
have been given the greatest gift
2:36:44
of all. I'm going to bring
2:36:46
a life into this world. I
2:36:48
feel truly blessed and a little
2:36:50
superior to those poor souls who
2:36:52
for whatever reason aren't able or
2:36:54
don't want to have kids. Dear
2:36:56
God, if you see fit, please
2:36:58

2:37:18
Holy hell, I can't stop burping.
2:37:20
And can I name my baby
2:37:22
Carbuncle Johnson if I'm white? Ooh,
2:37:24
wow. Powerful social commentary. I know.
2:37:26
Now you may applaud. Yeah. Thank
2:37:28
you. Thank you for that. Speaking
2:37:30
of kids and why not to
2:37:32
have them, I, I, I, I,
2:37:35
I, fuck what? Listen. Can I
2:37:37
just say this? I, I know
2:37:39
you can't hit your kids anymore.
2:37:41
But are you talking about? Every
2:37:43
fucking conversation I have with my
2:37:45
daughter is a 14 move back
2:37:47
and forth. It's like... it's like
2:37:49
the Jews and the Palestinians and
2:37:51
it's a fucking negotiation and she's
2:37:53
got her well here's what I'm
2:37:55
saying like what what do you
2:37:57
do I mean I'm saying like
2:37:59
when you could just take a
2:38:01
fucking flip-lop off and go across
2:38:03
their head with it or take
2:38:05
that wooden spoon or do something
2:38:07
It was a conversation ender. It
2:38:09
just stopped. So here's how the
2:38:11
conversation goes. My daughter has this
2:38:13
like, she has two things. She
2:38:15
has this easy glider thing that
2:38:17
she's sort of sit on. It's
2:38:19
like a mechanics creeper for kids,
2:38:21
like the thing you slide under
2:38:23
cars with, except for you're laid
2:38:25
back. But the problem is, it's
2:38:27
like it's meant for sliding under
2:38:29
SUVs, essentially. And we go walking
2:38:31
through the hills. And my daughter
2:38:34
says, I'm taking my easy glider.
2:38:36
takes off down the hill going
2:38:38
ooh! She's crazy, she's like a
2:38:40
speed junkie, or maybe just like
2:38:42
a junkie junkie. And I yell,
2:38:44
Natalia, slow down! Like I'm running
2:38:46
after because I'm thinking a car's
2:38:48
gonna come up the hill, she's
2:38:50
gonna slide right under the fucking
2:38:52
bumper, and I don't care what
2:38:54
happens to hurt, but my fucking
2:38:56
wife's gonna kill me if I
2:38:58
don't come home with her. And
2:39:00
you're gonna crush the Easy glider.
2:39:02
Is it meant to be riddenid
2:39:04
to be ridden? doing this with
2:39:06
her feet and working this sort
2:39:08
of pumping action with her feet
2:39:10
when she's on a 45 degree
2:39:12
grade, she just goes sailing down
2:39:14
the fucking hill. So tonight she
2:39:16
announces, she's going out walking, she's
2:39:18
going with the nanny, and she's
2:39:20
bringing her Easy Glider, and it's
2:39:22
dark outside. And I say, no,
2:39:24
you're not going with the Easy
2:39:26
Glide, we're gonna roll under a
2:39:28
car, it's dark outside, there's traffic
2:39:30
coming up the hill, you're gonna
2:39:32
get killed. And she goes, well.
2:39:35
What if I just pull it
2:39:37
with me during the hill part
2:39:39
and then I'll get on it
2:39:41
when it flattens out and I
2:39:43
say no, no, no easy glider
2:39:45
there. I know it sounds like
2:39:47
a newfangled tampon, but I say
2:39:49
no. And she says, all right,
2:39:51
well, what if Olga hangs on
2:39:53
to my hand when I, and
2:39:55
I go, no. And she goes
2:39:57
to 15 different machinations of whatever
2:39:59
this is. And I go, no,
2:40:01
because you can't, because Olga's holding
2:40:03
Molly, and Molly's gonna be tugging
2:40:05
on it. But I realize if
2:40:07
I could just hit her with
2:40:09
a fucking flip-flop, this conversation will
2:40:11
be over. Mo, you should do
2:40:13
that then, then, right? No. She
2:40:15
needs to learn that no means.
2:40:17
And then they realize no means
2:40:19
no. Until that, no means, fuck
2:40:21
you old man, let's continue this
2:40:23
argument into the future. I see
2:40:25
I'm actually someone for whom I
2:40:27
can't handle no meaning no. So
2:40:29
I, but outside of it I
2:40:31
can diagnose that that's, you're just
2:40:34
going to keep trying to come
2:40:36
up with ways to outsmart you.
2:40:38
You know, let's bring Ben Schwartz
2:40:40
up here because he just walked
2:40:42
in. House allies, season two, Sunday
2:40:44
nights, 10 p. How do we
2:40:46
get... How do I love you
2:40:48
on parks and rec, by the
2:40:50
way? Oh, thank you so much.
2:40:52
I appreciate it. How do, really,
2:40:54
like, look, I don't want to
2:40:56
turn into a black comedian here
2:40:58
and talk about how... I can't
2:41:00
wait to hear where this goes.
2:41:02
This is good. How mommy used
2:41:04
to beat the shit I have
2:41:06
to go get my own switch
2:41:08
and beat the shit out of
2:41:10
me and all that kind of
2:41:12
physical abuse while everyone laughs their
2:41:14
ass off. I'm not going to
2:41:16
go down that road, but seriously...
2:41:18
I have a daughter who thinks
2:41:20
we're on an equal footing at
2:41:22
home and thinks everything can just
2:41:24
be taken to the Supreme Court
2:41:26
and we can argue everything and
2:41:28
does not listen to a fucking
2:41:30
word I say. And if I
2:41:32
said one well-placed shot shot from
2:41:35
a flip-flop, I love when you
2:41:37
stand up. Just one well-placed shot
2:41:39
from a flip-flop. Just one. Just
2:41:41
a sting of the flip-flop across
2:41:43
the forehead. You know what I'm
2:41:45
saying? You have to make it.
2:41:47
can keep arguing back and forth.
2:41:49
No flip-flop. That's why? In a
2:41:51
vacuum of flip-flops. In a vacuum.
2:41:53
In a world where there's no
2:41:55
punishment with baseball bets or flip-flops?
2:41:57
Well, what would... you think you
2:41:59
could speed if you never got
2:42:01
a ticket for speeding? And like
2:42:03
when the cop pulled you over
2:42:05
and he went, you know how
2:42:07
fast you're going? And you'd go,
2:42:09
do you know how fast you
2:42:11
were going? Like, what would ever
2:42:13
stop you from speeding? Without you,
2:42:15
I'm speeding as a fucking guy
2:42:17
pulls you over. I'm speeding as
2:42:19
a fucking guy pulls you over.
2:42:21
I'll say this. A fucking guy
2:42:23
pulls you over. I'm speeding. I
2:42:25
would never. But I don't want
2:42:27
to be tired of negotiating everything,
2:42:29
you know? And she's smarter than
2:42:31
me, so she sucks me in
2:42:34
with these scenarios that actually sort
2:42:36
of makes sense. Like, you know,
2:42:38
well, what if I walk the
2:42:40
cart down the steep part and
2:42:42
then when it flattens out, then
2:42:44
I'm like, well, it just kind
2:42:46
of, no, no, it just keeps
2:42:48
going. And then at a certain
2:42:50
point... She left without her
2:42:52
easy glider because I had to lay
2:42:54
the law down and I gave her
2:42:56
a good I gave her a hug
2:42:58
like a backside hug like I got
2:43:01
around the neck and gave her a
2:43:03
big kiss on it I know it
2:43:05
sounds a little pro wrestling it sounds
2:43:07
aggressive it does and she goes oh
2:43:09
you hurt my neck and I was
2:43:11
like a Kinchi on the forehead she's
2:43:13
like I hurt my neck and I
2:43:15
said you're fine And then later on
2:43:18
when I came down and my wife
2:43:20
was saying that she was explaining how
2:43:22
I choked her. You gave her a
2:43:24
choke hug. You loved her so hard.
2:43:26
You got the oxygen from going to
2:43:28
her brain. That's right. Yeah. A lot
2:43:30
of people find that sensation very, you
2:43:33
know, a lot of people enjoy that.
2:43:35
Sure, sure. Only as they're orgasming though.
2:43:37
Do you know, do you know anyone
2:43:39
who's died? You're right in that age
2:43:41
range. You know, that age range of
2:43:43
people who auto-erotics officiate? There's an age
2:43:45
range. Well, yeah, there is an age
2:43:47
range. There was a, by the way,
2:43:50
I'm making a funny joke. No, you
2:43:52
don't do it, you know, in your,
2:43:54
you know, you don't do it from,
2:43:56
you know, zero to 14 and a
2:43:58
half. Okay. And then you probably knock
2:44:00
it off around 32. I'm 31 years
2:44:02
old. Okay, so you got one more
2:44:05
year. And by the way, I don't
2:44:07
know what's going on right now. Rottix
2:44:09
fixiation. Don't play stupid with me. And
2:44:11
by the way, I said 32. I
2:44:13
didn't know you're 31. When are you
2:44:15
going to turn 32? September. Okay, this
2:44:17
is the most dangerous nine and a
2:44:19
half months of your life. Well, have
2:44:22
you seen the movies where the cop
2:44:24
says I retire next week? Yeah. What
2:44:26
happens? Yeah. Bullet to the head. Shit
2:44:28
man. That's right. This is when you're
2:44:30
going to be tested. This is when
2:44:32
you could die beating off right now.
2:44:34
Tonight it's so weird because that's a
2:44:37
soft fortune tell us she's like you're
2:44:39
gonna die jerking off one day I
2:44:41
literally that's all she said yeah I
2:44:43
didn't even know my sign or anything
2:44:45
wow it might be true yeah that
2:44:47
gypsy lady spoke the truth by the
2:44:49
way she disappeared five minutes later to
2:44:51
look back to look back she wasn't
2:44:54
even there anymore that's how they work
2:44:56
all that always were never turn around
2:44:58
and they're going what what are you
2:45:00
looking at I'm hanging there was an
2:45:02
abandoned blockbuster video where she was That's
2:45:04
right. And I was like, what the
2:45:06
hell is going on? Right. So here
2:45:09
you are, knocking on the door of
2:45:11
32. That makes me feel old. 32
2:45:13
is, what does 32 mean? It's, you're
2:45:15
out of the danger zone of autorotic
2:45:17
as fixation. Outside of that, is there
2:45:19
any other specifics that wants to turn
2:45:21
32 things get dreary or no? No,
2:45:23
then you coast. You coast for like
2:45:26
15 years and then colon cancer creeps
2:45:28
in. Oh. Yeah. Like also, but that's
2:45:30
a sweet spot, that little sweet spot
2:45:32
between 32... and colon cancer. Yeah, it's
2:45:34
a sweet zone. Brian, you're right here,
2:45:36
you're right, I mean, beside the brain
2:45:38
tumor, you're coasting, right? Everything's coming up,
2:45:41
Brian. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if it
2:45:43
wasn't for the malignant brain tumor, you'd
2:45:45
be fucking laughing your ass off right
2:45:47
now. Aside from that, it'd be hilarious.
2:45:49
Yeah, okay. Yeah, so if you can
2:45:51
make it, and like I said, like
2:45:53
an 80s cop movie where you go,
2:45:55
ooh, I'm going to retire at the
2:45:58
end of this year, and I already
2:46:00
got a boat, I named it and
2:46:02
everything. That just means trouble. You know
2:46:04
what I'm saying? The name of my
2:46:06
boat is. No cancer never? Well no,
2:46:08
no, you're, no, it's the autorotic fixation
2:46:10
thing. But that's so many letters and
2:46:13
then me think about how expensive it
2:46:15
be to put that on both. Yeah.
2:46:17
Yeah. And you figure all the other
2:46:19
boats that are in the slips, where
2:46:21
they're like, I just named mine after
2:46:23
my grandson, but you had to name
2:46:25
yours after autoerotic. It's fixing it. Did
2:46:27
I somehow got through? And by the
2:46:30
way, it's always supposed to be on
2:46:32
the back of the boat. It's not
2:46:34
supposed to turn the corner or around
2:46:36
the side. Yeah, if I gotta walk
2:46:38
around the boat. Yeah, if I gotta
2:46:40
walk around the boat. I'll never do
2:46:42
that. departed between 14 a half and
2:46:45
32 year old say. God, 14 and
2:46:47
a half, thinking about it. 14 and
2:46:49
a half, just playing Super Nintendo all
2:46:51
day. Right, right, with a lamp cord
2:46:53
around your neck, you fucking freak. Just
2:46:55
to hold your head up, right, like
2:46:57
it's that hard. My manager's assistant died
2:46:59
of this. Is this true? I swear
2:47:02
to God, I swear to guy. Well
2:47:04
now it's getting funnier. Oh, no, now
2:47:06
I'm like really sad. Yeah, he's right
2:47:08
in that sweet spot spot, too. Uh,
2:47:10
he was right, your age, he's 31
2:47:12
in a, you know, a few months,
2:47:14
yeah, yeah, I, I, the worst fucking
2:47:17
funeral ever, the fucking, what, what was
2:47:19
it like? What makes a bad, what
2:47:21
makes a bad funeral? What, what makes,
2:47:23
why is it bad? Yeah. Well, the
2:47:25
one where the guy died in his
2:47:27
90s and he's buried in a civil
2:47:29
war outfit, you know, and he has
2:47:31
26 grandkids are standing by his coffin,
2:47:34
not so bad. or not as bad
2:47:36
or even the one where someone dies
2:47:38
like saving a bunch of kids from
2:47:40
a burning place right yeah a lot
2:47:42
of tears but not nearly not nearly
2:47:44
as bad but the this not bad
2:47:46
and did everyone dance around it the
2:47:49
physically dance around it I don't think
2:47:51
you've ever been to a funeral before
2:47:53
by the way you mean that question
2:47:55
you've never been to a funeral I've
2:47:57
been to many funerals oh the top
2:47:59
yeah What do you think I meant?
2:48:01
That you dance around the coffin
2:48:03
of a dead man. That people
2:48:06
are doing the horror around the
2:48:08
fucking coffin. Isn't that? Yeah, no.
2:48:10
No, we did not. The cause of
2:48:12
death. First off, I didn't even
2:48:14
take the chance on masturbating.
2:48:17
Smart. I mean, normally, you know, in
2:48:19
any three or four hour period on
2:48:21
a weekend, you know, well, with food
2:48:23
and the service, you know, what I
2:48:25
mean? But I broke my... with tradition.
2:48:27
And I was like, I'm not even
2:48:29
going to chance it by masturbating. It's
2:48:31
usually his way of affirming life after, right? You might
2:48:33
never want to gait yourself more. It's the way grandpa would
2:48:35
have wanted it. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
2:48:37
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
2:48:40
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
2:48:42
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-h Huh?
2:48:44
What? Have you said between every four,
2:48:46
if you, four hours, you masturbate? Not
2:48:48
just saying, I'm saying a period, you
2:48:51
know, here's what I'm saying. If I
2:48:53
would have possibly done it anyway when
2:48:55
I was at home during that time
2:48:57
period, well then, you know, I don't
2:48:59
have to break with tradition. It's like
2:49:02
this atom plus free time
2:49:04
equals masturbation, especially with an
2:49:06
iPad. Plus prostate prostate, plus prostate
2:49:08
health. which then spills in from
2:49:10
47 to 53. Really? Yeah. God,
2:49:12
tell me one thing I can
2:49:15
look forward to in my life. The
2:49:17
sweet release of death. That's right.
2:49:19
Masterbation and the sweet relief. That's
2:49:22
what I've learned today. I'd read
2:49:24
that book. All right, should we
2:49:26
take a question? We do want
2:49:28
to try a little, what can
2:49:30
I will complain about? I think
2:49:33
we tried this last time. Let's
2:49:35
do it. See what happened. You
2:49:37
jumped at that piano. Like you might
2:49:39
be able to play it. Is that
2:49:41
true? No, no, no, no, maybe chopsticks.
2:49:43
Right. That's a little something. This was
2:49:45
lying here, by the way. There's not
2:49:47
much trust. I have no idea what's
2:49:49
in this class. That's your water. I
2:49:51
just trusted that it wasn't terrible. I
2:49:53
just rinse my cock and I didn't
2:49:55
wash it. I didn't wash it. I
2:49:57
just rinse my cock and I didn't
2:49:59
wash it. Once you step up
2:50:01
to little mangria, I think
2:50:04
whose cock was in there.
2:50:06
Yeah. Who's wasn't in that?
2:50:08
Stuff. No, every, hold on.
2:50:11
He's getting up. Every single
2:50:13
bottle of mangria has Antonio
2:50:15
Banderas' cock dipped in it
2:50:17
before its core. Is that true?
2:50:20
It's true. That's why it's smell.
2:50:22
It smells so like swab. Hand
2:50:24
of God. Yeah, and he wasn't
2:50:27
cheap. No, that's good. But every
2:50:29
single bottle as it leaves the
2:50:31
line before the court goes in,
2:50:33
the cock goes in. That's good.
2:50:36
It's like a giant tequila worm.
2:50:38
Mm-hmm. Yeah, but it comes right
2:50:40
back down. It does stay. It's
2:50:43
just a taste. Because you don't
2:50:45
want the whole thing. You just
2:50:47
want a taste of the
2:50:50
Antonio Banderas. It's mean it.
2:50:52
Stuff. The world is full of
2:50:54
it. And one man. can complain
2:50:56
about it all. This is,
2:50:59
what can't Adam complain about?
2:51:01
All right, we will go
2:51:03
out to you, the audience.
2:51:06
Quite, yeah, hand raise, there
2:51:08
we go. Apple pie? An
2:51:11
ice cream? Apple pie? Oh, you
2:51:13
added ice cream to the
2:51:15
apple pie. Look at you.
2:51:17
You baited me with apple pie
2:51:19
and then you dumped the ice
2:51:22
cream on there. Because the difficulty
2:51:24
level went fucking through the roof
2:51:26
when you added the god damn ice
2:51:28
cream. You know what you're doing. All
2:51:30
right, apple pie with ice cream. Let me
2:51:32
say this, back me up here people.
2:51:34
When I used to be a
2:51:36
carpenter and a boxing instructor and
2:51:39
I was poor, I could eat
2:51:41
whatever the fuck I wanted because
2:51:43
all I did all day was
2:51:46
either climb around on the roof
2:51:48
of a house or teach white
2:51:50
people that were really slow how
2:51:52
to box. But either way, all
2:51:55
I did was burn calories. In
2:51:57
that situation, I had no money.
2:51:59
I loved apple pie alamode, but I
2:52:02
really couldn't afford to go out and
2:52:04
eat and eat nice meals. Now, fucking
2:52:06
food is free and I'm rich, but
2:52:08
I'm getting fat. Some fucked because I
2:52:10
got all the money I need and
2:52:12
there's a diner that's open 24 hours
2:52:14
on every fucking corner and the Trader
2:52:16
Joe's down the street has all the
2:52:18
apple pie and all the French vanilla
2:52:20
ice cream on the planet and I
2:52:23
can't eat any more of it and
2:52:25
it's this weird thing where now you're
2:52:27
walking around like I used to if
2:52:29
you want to talk about taco shells
2:52:31
I used to go to Henry's tacos
2:52:33
we brought this up and they were
2:52:35
going to close the place down until
2:52:37
a bunch of really motivated stoners went...
2:52:39
No! You don't usually hear that. By the
2:52:41
way, it's not like somebody wants to
2:52:43
tear down the school for the
2:52:45
retarded preschoolers. This place made tacos.
2:52:48
But when people like, I'm chaining
2:52:50
tacos? Oh, that's cool. Everything would
2:52:52
go on. Yeah, but they put
2:52:54
the beef on the outside. It's
2:52:56
fucking brutal, man. They have a
2:52:58
learning disability, understand? They'll make tacos
2:53:00
like we know them. The point
2:53:02
is this, you want to tear
2:53:05
down the preschool for the retarded
2:53:07
kids? No problemo. As long as you're
2:53:09
going to put up like a soft
2:53:11
swirl ice cream place over there or
2:53:13
froyo place, but you want to tear
2:53:15
down a taco place that's been in
2:53:18
the valley for 41 years and there's
2:53:20
a bunch of guys chaining themselves in
2:53:22
the bulldozer. It was insane. It really,
2:53:24
it is one of the things where
2:53:26
I would like to show other countries
2:53:28
our problems by going here's what we're
2:53:31
protesting. Here's us taking back the night.
2:53:33
There's a taco. And by the way,
2:53:35
who makes fair to Midland tacos? Not
2:53:37
even that great. Let's be honest. The
2:53:39
fucking rice, beans, beef, and a
2:53:41
fucking tortilla. Like how many different
2:53:44
ways can you fuck that up?
2:53:46
That'd be a great conversation. Where
2:53:48
are the military with the guns?
2:53:50
You don't understand. This is fast
2:53:52
food. We take it pretty seriously.
2:53:54
Where are the villagers being oppressed?
2:53:56
All right. So, hold on. I know
2:53:59
you don't have water. there's some ethnic
2:54:01
cleansing that's currently going on or somewhere
2:54:03
around here. I've not seen any firsthand,
2:54:05
but I just landed. The point is
2:54:08
this. This is not slow food. This
2:54:10
is not medium food. This is not
2:54:12
medium food. This is fast food at
2:54:15
a fair price. You understand me? They
2:54:17
are burning your religious idols? All right.
2:54:19
You know what? They make a hell
2:54:21
of a soft taco. And we got
2:54:24
to take a stand. But the point
2:54:26
is this. What was my point? What
2:54:28
was my point? Now I walk around.
2:54:31
I'm actually tortured. I used to go
2:54:33
to that place, I used to order,
2:54:35
I used to go to that Henry's
2:54:38
tacos, I'd go up to the counter,
2:54:40
and I'd go to the window, and
2:54:42
I would ask the guy for the
2:54:44
broken taco shells, he would give me
2:54:47
the broken taco shells, and then I
2:54:49
would get the taco sauce. And I
2:54:51
would just dip, you know what I'm
2:54:54
doing? Of course. You did that too?
2:54:56
I know that yes, yes, yes, of
2:54:58
course. We used to do that, and
2:55:01
there was, and there was, um... Oh
2:55:03
man, I forget if it was Krispy
2:55:05
Kreme or something. The idea of taking
2:55:07
something and the shards that were left
2:55:10
over. I remember when I was coming
2:55:12
up and taking classes at UCB in
2:55:14
New York, I knew exactly what was
2:55:17
on the Wendy's dollar menu and the
2:55:19
McDonald's dollar menu because you learned how
2:55:21
to eat dinner for $4 a night
2:55:24
or $5 a night. So one of
2:55:26
those tricks of going to a place
2:55:28
and they have like, oh yeah, you
2:55:30
get free chips. I'm like, oh, fuck
2:55:33
yeah. It's so where they're all gummy
2:55:35
and they get bigger in my mouth.
2:55:37
Where's the four skins? Did you throw
2:55:40
those? It's a Jew Joe, come on.
2:55:42
All right, give me another one. What
2:55:44
else do we got? Yes. A properly
2:55:47
hung door. Oh, carpenter question. All right.
2:55:49
Hold on a second. First off, I'll
2:55:51
give you a quick tutorial. You hang
2:55:53
a door using a jig and you
2:55:56
use a router and you put a
2:55:58
collar around the router and use a
2:56:00
straight bit. I like a carbide bit
2:56:03
on there. And it's four inches for
2:56:05
exterior hinges. three and a half inches
2:56:07
for interior hinges. Why? You're riding us
2:56:10
down because exterior doors are an inch
2:56:12
and three quarters thick and interior doors
2:56:14
or an inch and three eight stick
2:56:16
and they're all six eight. So if
2:56:19
you know any guy who's six eight.
2:56:21
So if you know any guy who's
2:56:23
six seven and a half to six
2:56:26
nine that's bad times like if I
2:56:28
ever talked to doing I go how
2:56:30
tall are you and he goes six
2:56:33
nine I go fuck because every doorway.
2:56:35
Every doorway you have. I don't like
2:56:37
to complain about the great city of
2:56:39
Los Angeles very often, but here goes
2:56:42
for a second. I was rebuilding my
2:56:44
first house up in the Hollywood Hills
2:56:46
and I had a dickhead inspector and
2:56:49
I was tearing out an old bathroom
2:56:51
downstairs and like replacing the door and
2:56:53
he came in and he said now
2:56:56
that you tore this thing out which
2:56:58
was the bathroom door which was only
2:57:00
like 28 inches wide you now must
2:57:02
replace it with a 32 inch door
2:57:05
and I could not fit this 32
2:57:07
inch door in and the space and
2:57:09
by the way 28 30 inch is
2:57:12
plenty of room for a door. Front
2:57:14
doors are by the way traditionally 36
2:57:16
inches and the rest of the interior
2:57:19
doors are 32 inches. And the only
2:57:21
reason they're 32 inches instead of the
2:57:23
old house is like you know when
2:57:25
you go to an old house from
2:57:28
the 20s and they have doors that
2:57:30
are pretty thin like for the bathroom,
2:57:32
narrow for the bathroom. Well the reason
2:57:35
they're 32 inches is because all these
2:57:37
fuckers and wheelchairs who are destroying. There's
2:57:39
a selfish no, it's their rolling ass
2:57:42
is that caused the 32 inch wide
2:57:44
door, but My house my first house
2:57:46
in Lake Hollywood or I should say
2:57:48
in Beachwood Canyon had Approximately my assistant
2:57:51
Jay is standing here. How many fucking
2:57:53
stairs from the street to that bathroom
2:57:55
on the first floor? I mean literally.
2:57:58
The reason, when I got married, I
2:58:00
got married, I had the ceremony at
2:58:02
that house and it was just going
2:58:05
to be, well first of all, I
2:58:07
just wanted to be me. I didn't
2:58:09
want Lynette there. You know what I
2:58:11
mean? I feel like I get it,
2:58:14
I can handle this and then we'll
2:58:16
just do yours at a later date
2:58:18
and you know, right, right? Yeah, I'll
2:58:21
say, you know, I abide by it.
2:58:23
I'm a man of my word. But
2:58:25
my grandmother, yes I do. And then
2:58:28
I would compliment myself. I've never looked
2:58:30
more ravishing in my life. Yes, I'm
2:58:32
glowing. My grandmother was in a wheelchair
2:58:34
and my buddy Ray and my buddy
2:58:37
Chris had to drag her up 80
2:58:39
stairs Just to get her into the
2:58:41
back fucking yard of the place. I
2:58:44
mean that a lifter up is impossible
2:58:46
Yeah, so here's what I'm saying. What
2:58:48
I'm saying is the inspector came in
2:58:51
and the inspector said now that you've
2:58:53
pulled the door off of this old
2:58:55
bathroom You must now enlarge the door
2:58:57
opening to 32 inches and I said
2:59:00
Why? And he said, because that's the
2:59:02
code. And I said, why is that
2:59:04
the code? Because I knew the fucking
2:59:07
code. And he said, because it's a
2:59:09
code. And I said, it's a code
2:59:11
for wheelchair access. And how the hell
2:59:14
can anybody in a wheelchair possibly get
2:59:16
into this house because of the 85
2:59:18
stairs between the floor and this bathroom?
2:59:20
And he said, do it anyway. And
2:59:23
that's when I realize everyone who worked
2:59:25
for the city of Los Angeles was
2:59:27
a dick. Thank you. None of you.
2:59:30
None of you. Does that essentially mean
2:59:32
that if you if you build your
2:59:34
own house you have to about you
2:59:36
can't make door you can't make like
2:59:39
a series of willy wanka doors you
2:59:41
can't you have to keep doors all
2:59:43
the same or no? You can't do
2:59:46
shit is that true? Is that true?
2:59:48
Are you fucking nuts you can't do
2:59:50
anything you want to do anything you
2:59:53
want to do? You have a guy
2:59:55
with a big fat mustache and like
2:59:57
the salt and pepper in his forearm?
