Did you know that? Yeah, did you know that? No.

Starting point is 00:01:32 I didn't either. The doctor told me, a doctor told me that. He's like, you know what sickle is, right? And I was like, I just kind of found out, it's like what they call people sickle cell. He's like, yeah. So somebody hasn't, he's a sickle cell. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:01:43 So you are sickle cell. Yeah. I mean, if sickle cell. Yeah. I mean, if sickle cell was a person, I get it. Among emergency physicians, use of the term sickler is associated with negative attitudes. It's people with sickle cell disease. Oh, so he meant sickle cell haters.

Yeah, they did too.

So my back is not getting any, but look, my clots are gone. Yes, what's gonna say? So now we're at a healthy, I'm gonna help you.

Starting point is 00:04:15 How is the back? It should be better. Can you like do you have restrictions or are there things that like? Yeah, I can't.

Starting point is 00:06:01 Three times a week still? For eight months now. Is it, and it's all back related stuff you do. And it's, I don't want to bore your audience, but it's like, here's what I can't believe I'm learning in my 50s. How to walk properly. Like the way my feet strike the ground.

Starting point is 00:06:17 They're like, no, you have, I also have a Shark Oatmary tooth disease in my leg, CMT bro. So we're working against all kinds of shit. What is that? That's a disease, it's very common. You can look it up, they call CMT. It's three doctors, shark-coat-marie and tooth,

Starting point is 00:06:35 tooth throws it all off, don't know why it's an disease. Shark-coat-marie tooth disease, one of the disorders that cause damage to the peripheral nerves, the nerves, the transmit information and signals from the brain and spinal cord to and from the rest of the body as well as sensory information such as touch back to the spinal cord and brain.

Starting point is 00:06:50 So you have this? I have this. So this is something I was born with. Oh, really? Yeah, this is a hereditary. But was dormant or something, or like, do you know you had? No, no, I know I had this.

Starting point is 00:07:00 So the classification of this too, they always say your calves look like inverted champagne bottles. That's exactly what my calves look like. I played soccer my whole life. I should have tree trunk calves. I don't have the muscle and the layers of muscle in there for that build. And you're kind of close to being,

Starting point is 00:07:18 I'm never for you, you're gonna like this. So my dad had it and his father had had it. Yes, I have crazy high arches like that. Like my top my foot's normal, but my arch is like really high there. Crazy high. Damn. So I walk fucked up, you know, sometimes my feet will drag on every step. Yes, that's like the poster, the poster is the 10 years. 10 years. That's a foot. Yeah, those are two feet. They're like put the feet up there. That's my shoe. Show them who we are.

Starting point is 00:07:46 I have that. What about factor five, man? Got that also. That's what I found out later I had. That's the blood one. That's the blood genetic one that you guys willfully gave me by pushing sickle cell on me. We got a sickler over here in room three.

Starting point is 00:08:01 And so my dad takes us to this study in Hopkins. So it's before I'm six, probably 14, because he died, I'm 16. So it's probably 14 years old. And my younger brothers were about 11 at the time. We all go to get tested for this shit. And they're, you're doing treadmill, test and stuff. And they're doing wicked shit where they're taking needles

Starting point is 00:08:20 and they're putting it right in the archer your foot. Damn. And they want you to to they're testing your reaction As to when you should feel it versus you know what you should feel it versus a person with this They I will never forget they put needles in between your the webs of your toes and one of the things that hurt The worst is on your outside ankle bone. They take this electric prod They fucking put it right on that bone. You're like ah like, like that. And it's how long you took the respond. We got a CMT, house of it.

Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah. He jumped. So my dad, we're all in the room while this doctor's telling us what we have and what it is. And he's like, you're basically a step away from being Jerry's kids. My dad goes, hey boys, leave the room. We won't right outside. What are you up with that door? My dad lit, hey boys, leave the room. We won't right outside.

Starting point is 00:09:05 What are you up with that door? My dad lit this motherfucker. He did, for talking to you like that.

Starting point is 00:09:19 We're out there and dying. Like, oh, dad, go and open this. Like, told us we were all, Jerry's kids. That's his bedtime. I bet he's like, I said those words. And here you know what, it might be karma. This is, I can't even believe I remember this.

Starting point is 00:09:39 It might be karma because when my parents first got the word, it's crazy that a doctor said that. He said those words to our faces. And with like, you know, just trying to make you understand where you're at. What's going on? Yeah. You asked about helmet.

Starting point is 00:09:54 You let us draw that. Are we Jerry's kids? Yeah, we had a lot of things. Yeah. Ah, ah, ah. But that said, hey guys, leave the room. And the fuck, I fucking just rip this through the part. But it fifth, so my parents split in fifth grade. So in sixth grade, my

Starting point is 00:10:37 and shit, we're like, where'd you get that money? He's like, oh, I've just been going door-to-door telling people I'm collecting for Jerry's kids. And I go, you can do that. And he goes, yeah. I'm like, are you giving it to Jerry's kids? He's like, no. I'm like, I don't think you can do that.

Starting point is 00:10:53 So we start going and collect them with them. You do. We collect so much fucking change for Jerry's kids. And we go home and my dad sees it. He's like, where the fuck do you guys get all that money? We're like, oh man, we've been going door to door to tell people we're collecting for Jerry's kids. He's like, are you giving it to Jerry's kids?

That was a scary time, but I'm good

Starting point is 00:15:15 scary time I I'm going to get Another test on my arm. Yeah, we talked about this where you said you might get a little bridge to bridge the tattoo scar. Well, the tattoo. The tattoo. But so what they're gonna do is they told me, so when I do certain movements, I still feel. How many years has it been now, two and a half? Almost three, and you still are fucked up.

Starting point is 00:15:36 No, I'm way, way, way. But if I do certain movements and like certain weight, like I'll be like, oh, I'm fine. And then I'll get to a heavier weight and I'm like, I'm not fine. And what happens is you start to, you know, it's a natural thing that anybody would do. Like you're not even conscious of it. Your body starts to compensate. So right? Like you just like, if I were to like push you this way because the external rotation does it a lot to me, I'll just like, I'll pivot. I won't be able to do it like I would with my right hand. And I get these weird, like weird sensations when I'm doing a certain movement.

Starting point is 00:16:11 So what they're gonna do is, they're gonna numb a nerve in my arm permanently. Now, but it lasts like six to eight hours. So I won't have any use of my left arm. Oh no use. Yeah. And when they numb it, they try to isolate the nerve and they scan it.

Starting point is 00:16:29 And then they try to see if there's scar tissue around that. And that's because the idea is that maybe what's going on is that I have some compression from scar tissue. And then it's just as simple as like a small incision, scrape away scar tissue, and maybe that pain goes away. That's exactly what they're telling me about the pain in my back now. It could be scar tissue from the surgery hitting my nerves

Starting point is 00:16:51 and then they want to give me two epidorals. Yeah, so I'm flying out to LA in a couple weeks. I got to go do that shit too. Yeah, but I'll be just like this for like a day. Just one arm. Right, amen. Let me get a car. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you just got to sling it up right now. Just one arm. Hey man, let me get a car

Starting point is 00:17:08 Got a swing it up You can't you just flop it around lay it everywhere. Well talk shit to me man Yeah, yeah It's crazy that it stays with you That's my it's my favorite white you got a dragon bag of, you have no power to even pull your own arm back. I better put everything in my right pocket before that day starts. Everything would different. It's going to be that sensation. You know you fall asleep on your arm.

Starting point is 00:17:38 Yeah. Right. You got to wait for it to kind of live. I fall asleep on the plane coming here and I had my arms next to the seats and I guess when I woke up, I couldn't, I couldn't make a fist and I panicked for a good minute. I was like, oh shit, no, I was thinking that. No, no.

Starting point is 00:17:55 It's the worst sensation of work. And they're like prepare for a whole day of it. Just your dead arm. You're gonna feel like you're gonna tilt over. I feel like you won't even feel the weight. I know. If I can just check into a room and you should just sling it up and check in. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not looking forward to it.

Starting point is 00:18:12 You got to get that one with a stick on the hip. So you know, oh, it keeps it up. It keeps it up. For people that don't know, you can watch. Ryan's has a special on YouTube called Lefty Sun on his YouTube channel. You can watch The Honey Do. You can do the Patreon.

Starting point is 00:18:30 It has the wildest stories that I've ever heard. And you have a new podcast called The Way Back. Really fun. It's just nostalgia. It's old school talking about growing up and times like that and that seat in the old school station wagon that faces traffic is we, I went and got a nice real poster seat.

Starting point is 00:18:50 One of those, yeah, yeah. Sit on that, got my grandma's Afghan on there. We talked about M80s and shit. Talk about firecrackers and BB guns. Should definitely be dead from that. Everyone, any human that makes it past 16 statistically is pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing.

Starting point is 00:19:06 Do you ever think about that like, I don't know, 1000 years ago, maybe less that people would like live to 15, that was it. That's why I was life. That's why when people got married, it was like happily ever after, we're dying at 32. 30 was, yeah, that's it.

Starting point is 00:19:21 It's over. I got some shit my lungs and it's over. There isn't anything for this. Yeah, think about me times, I've been sick so many times with like, sinus infections and stuff. pneumonia with a white person out. Yeah, you got, you just got to die,

Starting point is 00:19:32 as we're gonna do. I can't die. You're gonna join everybody who we've ever known. You're gonna die. I think about all the time too, at some point in time, there will probably be, whether it's computers or whatever we can put in our body,

Starting point is 00:19:49 but people will be able to live forever. Yeah. As long as you're, you know, take care of the structure, be able to live forever. And then we become like the diars. Yeah. You know, people talk about like, oh yeah, my great-great-grandfather died.

Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, yeah. Like yeah, he was one of the diars. I mean, you're all still living. I would, I don't wanna live that little. No. If you can be, and here's the, I think they said, Dr. Drew told me this one time, he just goes, men in their 70s.

Starting point is 00:20:17 He's like, men specifically, statistically, just all, like more than so than women, right? The 70, like if you can make it through your 70s and relatively good health That is you're an anomaly at that point. Is that right? Yeah, 70s are threshold. Oh, yeah I mean like average, you know It always keeps bumping up because of technology medicine lifestyle and everything that we learned but You know everything like now we're at that age where, you know, a lot of friends, parents are sick, and like almost every time I'm like,

Starting point is 00:20:50 how do they, the guy, it's always 72 to 74, so it's all, that's like, I mean, that's sort of in the average lifespan, but the average lifespan, like I said, keeps bumping up, but I feel like if, man, if you could have a good run in your 70s to enjoy that decade of life, I mean, I hear about people living in their 90s.

Starting point is 00:21:09 I'm like, you have to be shitting me. Yeah, not, I mean, I don't, my aunt Helen lived in her 90s. She was also blind in one eye. Her dream was to be a child. That's all was missing from, sir. You know what I mean? Like, quality of life. I'll take 65 over 95.

Starting point is 00:21:23 Fucking being in pain every day. Is that the shit on the walls? That's my grandma. Oh. What would you say like that though? That did happen, but she did just go around people's homes shit on the wall. That was at a public place, all right? She went, she and a cousin, older cousin, coincidentally, shared a birthday.

Starting point is 00:21:45 And so they would just go out for coffee, and she's older at this time in her 60s. They would go out for coffee on their birthdays and just celebrate her and Jimmy, celebrate their birthdays. And they went to this old school place in Baltimore called White Coffee Pot. It's like this little face

Starting point is 00:22:00 and they got a little tongue sticking outside. And it was like a little diner spot. And they go in there, they're having coffee and breakfast and she's like, oh my God, my stomach's rum. And I'll be right back. So she goes to the bathroom and she said, she squatted over the toilet and she shit. And she said when she turned around,

Starting point is 00:22:17 she was just mortified that it was all, or like nothing went into the toilet. It was sprayed all on the wall and she's like, oh my God, we gotta get out of here. So she cleans herself up. And then she's running out of the bathroom. The lady to come clean it is coming in. And she said she panicked.

Starting point is 00:22:32 And she's like, I don't know why I said anything, but I just went some six son of a bitch in there did that. It's disgusting. And then she runs out and grabs Jimmy. And he's like, I'm not done with my breakfast. She said, I'm gonna get you some fucking breakfast somewhere else they all. We gotta get out of here. We're not coming back to the little time again.

Starting point is 00:22:47 A brown coffee pot. Oh, fuck. Yeah. So it's stories like that. The whole show is, and it's not along with, man, it's, it's like 30 minutes. The way back, cool. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to sit and do two hours anymore.

They'll be right on my YouTube and all that stuff. Dude, I had the way back. I had the craziest I have fun, they'll be right on my YouTube and all that stuff. Dude, I had the craziest adrenaline thrust. I was so keyed up on adrenaline that I needed to take a day down to do it for my body to decompress.

Starting point is 00:23:35 Well, that's what I learned with you after that vagus shit was, I thought that would amp me up so much like, yeah, and it just, all that adrenaline was working once. Yeah, and then I fell asleep on the ride home. Yeah, yeah, and it just all that it runs. Because we went to like, once, yeah. And then I fell asleep on the ride home. Yeah, yeah. I was so,

Starting point is 00:23:48 because you're so alert. And I mentally that night, I legit was, I don't know, maybe half a second. I felt like half a second off. You talk about we went to a track, and we drove, we, like, you drove. They drove me back, bro. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Starting point is 00:24:04 It drove me back. bro. You went back. But I also remember when we went to one of those places where you can pick exotics, and you picked one, and you're like, I want the most, like, the bad ass shit. And that guy was like, you don't want this one, you want this. Yeah, I wanted the one, and he was like, nah, you want this one. And then I was like, it was an STO, I think. It was like the Lamborghini STO, but like the race race spec and he were like, I'm gonna throw up.

Starting point is 00:24:28 I kept telling the guy I'm a throb. He's like, don't open here. He's got getting real nervous. And I'm like, look, I'm good on the straightaways. It's when you tell me to go from 132 to 35 and he's S turns. It's fucking with me right now. He's like, watch the, what was it there? It was your, not your gravity, but your, your RPMs? No, on the dash was your, what's the fucking word? I don't think of it later. But you're not your, it was just the way the car handled. He's, you know, I'm talking about, I can't remember the name of the damn thing. But he's like, you can watch it right there on the screen. So, doing that, looking in here and shit, I was like, it's also 120 in the car.

Starting point is 00:25:11 And we have a GoPro footage of it. Yeah, it does go pro. And then I'm coming around to turn, I get an hour. But I'm gonna throw up and he goes, okay. And I'm trying to pull off the track, but I'm so close to Pukin, but I also have a helmet on and everything. And he's yelling at me,

Starting point is 00:25:23 because I'm not in that lane. I'm still kind of on the main track and he's screaming that we're gonna get like equilibrium. Yeah, okay, okay, and I'm like I can't anymore, bro. I can't. I just gotta and I flip the helmet and then you're like I'll drive back. He's like no, I'm the door and I'm just breathing and I'm here him over there going yeah we got one that's gonna throw up over here like oh god damn it and you had paid for 10 laps I'm on lap five and I'm like I'm done. He's like you got five more. I was like no I don't no I don't and I'm just I never throw up on breathe and I'm like All right, I'm good.

We start talking about that, about how crazy. Do you want to know what just happened? What? So, I took my daughter to the Santa Monica Pier,

Starting point is 00:28:55 went with my buddy Jim and his daughter, the four of us go down, make like a little dad daughter night out, I worked down there hanging out, and they want to ride their rides, but I can't ride rides, but I can ride the fucking Ferris wheel, and they got a monster Ferris wheel down there, right? so we get on and two days later

Starting point is 00:29:12 There's a report of a dude that free climbed up the middle you not big that is right Look up that Santa Monica It's called to dance says like the Pacific pier or Pacific wheel or something, right? It's a monster fucking Ferris wheel. Just do climbed up to the middle of it. There after scaling it right there's the story. That thing, oh my God. He climbed up to the middle of it, freehand.

Starting point is 00:29:37 Oh, there it is. With a backpack on, look at him. And then said he had a bomb. They had to clear the whole pier, like all the way out to Santa like the whole pier. Everybody had to go. He didn't have a bomb. And then like two days later, they shut the pier down and he looked at him.

Starting point is 00:29:53 I was on that. Do you know how pissed off I'd have been if the only ride I could get on? Because you know how they made the people get off? No. They wouldn't run it because they were scared. They cramed him off. So the people that were stuck at the top

Starting point is 00:30:04 had to get on a cr crane and be lowered down. Fuck, that I would have been furious if the only ride I could ride after all this shit's that and this guy did that. Look at him. Oh my god. That fucking crazy. Also, how you learn, like when you're in it, like get on the crane and you're like,

Starting point is 00:30:20 I don't want to put me down. And they're like, there's a bomb. And they're like, what? You just start panicking. Bob! There's a bomb threat. That guy. And then the crates just go like, I don't want to put me down. And they're like, there's a bomb. And they're like, what? You just start panicking. Bob! There's a bomb threat. That guy. And then the cranes just go like,

Starting point is 00:30:29 this right next to the bomb, by the way, not your face is there. There it is. There's someone on the crane. Look at. I thought you just fucked that. I would say nope. No, no, no.

Starting point is 00:30:42 You wheeled this motherfucker. I'll take my chance. Oh my god. Look at that my chances. Oh my God. Look at that, dude. That's insane. And that's not just some carnival ride. That's a landmark for God's sake. What are we kind of charged that is?

Starting point is 00:30:56 Well, you got terrorism because you say you got a bomb. So that's in there. There's a lot of charges probably going on in that. Trust passing. Look, they got the arrow. Look at them. Who's up there taking that? Is that the crane guy? It's just a dude out of work too. You know, he's just like, I don't, I've been, I've been doing shit in a while. I need to go do something today. He's, that's all planned out. Everything. Fuck. Who got that picture? Because I, if that's the crane operator, like bro,

Starting point is 00:31:25 pay attention, stop snapping selfies over here. Yeah, yeah, lower my ass. Shout out to, you know what I wanna hear about this. Philip Lee, so Philip is a chef. Michelin star chef lives here in Austin. He has a sushi by scratch, which is in a bunch of cities now. Is that where you and I went? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:46 And so he's down here with that as well. Yep. And he opened Pasta Bar here. That's him right there. So he's like, hey, I'm doing some shit for Red Bull. Do you want to come on F1 weekend? They're hooking all this up and I was like, fuck, yes. So we go to this event they have at Oracle first

Starting point is 00:32:05 where we're standing there and they're doing like promotional stuff and then you just see over the horizon a helicopter come into view and it's carrying an F1 car and I'm like you've gotta be shit in me. In the air? Look it up, F1 Red Bull car in Austin flying. Like the guy flew it through like down. It was actually really crazy to see in person.

Starting point is 00:32:33 You just seen it come in on a chopper. Yeah, on a chopper. Yeah, and that's it right there, bro. Get the fuck out of here. This guy flew it around Brandon, that's his name. I met him after, I was like, I wanna meet the chopper pilot. I don't give a fuck about any of these drivers after this.

Starting point is 00:32:48 This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. So he flew that through the city and then lowered it into the promotion site at Oracle. It was really impressive. I mean, what a fucking... They're the best at promotion site. I'm gonna say what a billboard. What an advertisement for what's going on at.

Starting point is 00:33:05 What the hell's that up? That's an F1 car. Yes, an F1 car. So that's nuts. That was day one. Then the next day, we fucking, he's like, meet me at this. We go to a gun range,

Starting point is 00:33:20 park and the Red Bull chopper lands in behind this the range and flies us You see the chopper. This is like this. They have it all wrapped But they yeah, they just pick us up in that in that I wouldn't go in that. That's an R44. It's great Those are great. No, he just took the doors I'd be waving at your ass up there. They have fun fun, Tom, talked to you about it on the podcast. We flew. Oh, you got in that.

Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah, we flew out to this place. How many people's we in there? It looks like a 502. There's four of us. That one we were in was tiny and there were five of us. Which one? The one we flew to, Santa Monica to the San Bernardino. Oh, now that was bigger than this.

Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah, I'm saying. And I felt like that was tight. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, now this was, that looks tiny. this. Yeah, I'm saying and I felt like that was tight. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, no, this was, that looks tight. That looks like a trash can. Look at it. It does.

Starting point is 00:34:11 It's got one fucking bleed going up there too. That's it. No, hell no. It was great. You flew us to this place. And when we flew, we landed here, we get to start rally drive. This is a place called Watt. Wait, so did you shoot at the gun range first?

Starting point is 00:34:25 No, we just get it, they're just letting us, letting them pick us up there. Then we fly here and we get to drive rally cars. Oh man. And in like dirt tracks, you know? I was gonna say off-road rallies. So we're at first it was Subaru's and then they put us in this thing.

Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, what is that? This is a all new, it's made by Sierra Cars, and that's Philip in there. It's all electric. So the Subaru's, yeah, see, the Subaru's are behind it, so we drove those first. That weighs 1200 pounds, that car that he's in, and it has 300 horsepower.

Starting point is 00:34:58 Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. That has 300 horsepower. I mean, it's just, like that's how it feels. And you're just skimming through dirt. I think about this all the time. There's some farmer back in the old days with one horsepower in his shit.

Starting point is 00:35:13 And there's an asshole in the neighborhood next door with 300 on the floor. Are you done? That's the equivalent. That's the equivalent. 300 horsepower is one of your fun. That is nuts. How fast does that go?

Starting point is 00:35:28 I mean, I don't know what the actual... I can only hit 100 and shit easy. That's me right there. And I think it's just right out of the gate, you just kinda... Is it just, oh it's sad too. It just starts sipping, you know? Is it easy to drive?

Starting point is 00:35:43 Yeah, it is actually. Like is it handle better the more you like really get into it and shit? It does and there's a handbrake too. So you can use the actual brakes that come with it or you can do the, there's the next one here. The next video of this has, yeah.

Starting point is 00:36:06 This is me coming around and like, you hit the throttle and then you pull the hand brake. You know? On that makes you do that. Yeah, yeah, you start to like kind of, or jumps, oh, I see. So your handbrake and on your turns. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:36:20 And then you see, he was chasing us. He was chasing us. He was chasing us. Yes, we're God. I swear to God. And then there's one of the soups that he was chasing the cars. What chasing us and yes, we're God. Nice word of God. And then there's one of the soups that he was chasing the cars. What's that coming out behind him right there? That's a drone.

Starting point is 00:36:30 Oh, it is. But then dude, it was so much fun. And by the way, the prep for this was just like, have fun. That's it. He's giving us a lot of here. Yeah, just go. It was so much fun. We got to drive Broncos off road

Starting point is 00:36:47 and those woods back there on this trail. Damn, dude. Yeah, it was so fun. Then they had another course where they had red bull like drivers, you know, like sponsor drivers. So we got in the Camam, you know what that is? Like that two-seater. Is that like the off-road thing?

Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they had a seven-time world champion named Mia Chapman. I pull up her Instagram, because the first video on it is from that day. I'm not in it, but this is what, like that's her right there driving that. And I hear, put your headphones on. is her driving she's driving you so you get you get a you get to ride with her It's Christ look how fast they're going

Starting point is 00:37:33 And she's just giving rise to this thing Dude we're jumping she's jumping You're with her? Yeah, yeah, it was unreal like you said you jumped right there. Yeah dude And everybody is going through that like what you hear there is the same way everybody feels everyone's like oh my god like these people are jumping over that shit. She's hauling. Oh yeah. And that's she says she's driving at like 40%. Because she's got passage like real dial down. That's dialed down? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:07 Mia! Yeah, it was so much fucking fun. That looks so much fucking fun. So we do that for hours. Then they take us to Coda and we watch the practice runs. Then we go back here. God damn you all day with them. Yeah, and then they flew us on the chopper again. Nope, the garbage can. The garbage can. They would have said, ride me back and one of those. And they flew us on the chopper again. Nope, the garbage can.

Starting point is 00:38:25 The garbage can't. The garbage can't drive me back and one of those. And they flew us to the range. Then we went shooting on the range. When you got back. We got back. Then we went out to dinner. Then we went out to a party.

Starting point is 00:38:33 How long of a day is that? It was a full fucking day. God damn, dude. It was a full day. It was a full day. I feel like I'd be asleep at the dinner. Well, the next day, people are like, you want to go to the scene.

Starting point is 00:38:42 I was like, no. I'll bet. We just, we literally took the whole day down, like just chilled out, recovered, and then the next day was the race day. So then we took a chopper there, a different one, a little bigger. I think we have video from that.

Starting point is 00:39:01 Yeah, so this is going to the race. So we got to like, that's that's Coda right there. So you're seeing people, yeah, you're seeing people like come in and they let they, it's cool on the on the other video of it, you can actually see like the whole layout of the circuit. It's fucking this one right here. So this is like, this is us pulling up. And this is race day. So it's like, you know, it's just starting to get super conju- there's so many people, you know, there's like over a hundred thousand people here. But yeah, they just fly you, we fly right to the track and then card us over and then we got to sit we got we had so much fucking incredible access

Starting point is 00:39:49 like we got to go at the the chairman's club on turn two which you can kind of you see people come around turn one turn two three four and you whip around and you can see 12 13 14 like it's see 12, 13, 14, like it's, it's incredible. What's their top speed? What do they hit? Those guys on the back straight will hit like 210, 215. Yeah. I went to the Indy 500 one time, years ago, like early 2000, maybe something like that might have been 2000.

Starting point is 00:40:20 And Danica Patrick was racing that time. She crashed, but we got crashed. She did that day.ric was racing that time she crashed But we got crashed she did that day. I don't know if she crashed or they crashed her Oh really? Yeah, cuz that was back when she was doing that was like what is she doing here? Yeah, yeah, and I just remember we had pit passes and we were able to go down right in the pit And I just remember standing there and just looking straight ahead and just watching them cargo But like to see how much of it I'd see and it was it was like it sounded like bumblebees on steroids just Going right by it's so it's so it's so impressive to see yeah, and then they're

Starting point is 00:40:58 They're not just driving I think they're getting right on each other's ass is moving inside lane See them interest apart inches. Yeah, inches a hundred and fifty sixty miles an hour I think they're getting right on each other's asses moving inside lane outside I see them. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, inches of parts. 150, 60 miles an hour. It's really impressive to see. And those cars are spaceships. F1 cars are fucking spaceships.

Starting point is 00:41:14 Are they? They're so ridiculous, man. They're in so insane. Well, I can't you now like, I don't know how you don't cheat, but can't you now listen to them? Like can't you like, you get like a headset and you can listen in, they were saying to the like pit crews and stuff.

Starting point is 00:41:29 I don't, I mean, that's probably how they, they, they pipe in on the broadcast. Like if you watch the broadcast, you'll have the commentators and then they'll take you to an exchange. So there'll be like, here's Hamilton talking to the pit about something and, you know, like you'll hear the driver be like, ah, he's going, he's going off, off the grid and like, you know, it's all about all the retired.

Starting point is 00:41:51 What are these people way to? What's the weight? So healthy weight to get all the day. Daniel Ricardo was here. And he, he said that you don't want to weigh anything over 160. Damn. Yeah. They're all that little. And they also, they're margins for giving up. Because everything's about weight in this at that level. And fractions of a second are the different. Like a second is an eternity. So if you start to weigh over that,

Starting point is 00:42:19 you're giving up something that they would rather not because you're just weighing more. It's going to hold you like that minuscule amount they told us to that They gave us a tour and there's a room like fucking Three times the size of this room of just like computer towers And they're like yeah, this is for when they're driving, the car is sending signals back to engineers

Starting point is 00:42:48 in each of their home countries. Nah. In real time, and then those engineers are analyzing, sending the information back about adjustments that need to be made. In the, like they're making real time. They're doing it in the car itself. In the car, or like when they paid,

Starting point is 00:43:02 or tell these guys, hey, this is what we, little stuff, you know. Yeah, they're analyzing it to that degree. All right, so what's the fastest you've ever had before you got all these nice cars and shit? What's the fastest you ever hit a car on the road? Hit a car? No, not hit.

Starting point is 00:43:18 What's the fastest you ever hit driving a car? Oh, probably, probably like in the 130s. Damn, what was it? A Ford Mustang GT, the 5.0 back in the day. So, and then I drove a 98, like an early, or earlier model came in, like that I had an LA, probably 135 coming back at night.

Starting point is 00:43:45 One like the 405. From the 101 like coming from like Oxnard. Yeah. Oh, out there. Yeah. But then I don't I don't try to I really don't go like on whenever you're in a car like a performance car. There's always someone who wants to race you.

Starting point is 00:43:59 And they always come up and like either they make a signal or they rev their engine. And it's always a guy like in a Honda or something who's like, what's up bitch? Like I'm good. Like I don't wanna be dangerous on there, especially now that I have the ability to go to these places when you get to do it. I want to Tesla wipe anything off the road these days anyway. Well, from the starting up,

Starting point is 00:44:19 just stock car on the street. It's especially zero to 60, yeah. It'll brush. Yeah, once you get like moving those, you gotta catch up to it 60. Yeah, it'll brush. Yeah, once you get like moving those, you gotta catch up to it first. Yeah, yeah, those things are lightning. I mean, it is crazy that you can just buy one. It's so crazy that someone can be like,

Starting point is 00:44:34 here's a check, can I have a metal box that goes zero to 16 in 1.9 seconds? It drives itself. Yeah, it drives itself. And they're like, yeah, go for it. There's no tests. There's no special driver. And they're like, yeah, go for it. There's no tests. No special driver.

Starting point is 00:44:47 They don't make you fill out a four. Is there a background check for that shit? I mean, this is like fucking missile. Yeah, there's a missile. It should definitely be a background check to get that stuff. I did drive a friend's car at that track. And most of the cars I bring.

Starting point is 00:45:03 F1? Yeah, well not at F1, but at that track, at the Coda track, I drove my friends car, which is, I bring mostly manual cars there, his is automatic, which is so much faster and can sit like on that back straight, I hit 170. Damn. But that was, I couldn't do it in one of mine

Starting point is 00:45:30 Because it was just so I mean the phases I've ever hit and anything is that car in Vegas was one I feel like I don't know what it was 140 50 somewhere and that's fucking then move right down the third Dude, you know what my so my cousin came my cousin came For this whole weekend. That was the fun part is like Philip invited us and also I got to give shout Peter at Tia Who is a fucking obsessed fan like I thought I like cars and it's like, you know I guess I don't cuz like his level is super super enough one he gave us tickets in the turn 15 grandstands Which is amazing cuz it's the best one. It's probably, I think it's the best grandstand view you can get. You see people come all the way back down that stretch and you see them go through 12, 13,

Starting point is 00:46:16 14, 15 into the carousel. So you really get to see like a whole portion of it and you get to see them do that shit like speed. That's actually turned to but so those guys yeah it's really like but the tic is he hooked up we're unbelievable unbelievable um but my cousin was visiting and he works in uh that's him there one of these shout out to one of these visiting and he works in, that's him there, Juan Luis, shout out to Juan Luis. When we were at Rally School there, he was telling me that, you know, he's from Peru,

Starting point is 00:46:52 but he does a lot of work in Mexico, and so we're always like, oh, what's that like? Because he has to go to like all the regions, because it's in agriculture. Like, you ever worry about, you know, the cartels, he's like, no, like, you know, everything's cool, they always tell you, like, you know, everything's cool. They always tell you, like, just don't go there and don't be there after sundown and like, you know, it's all part of the, part of that world. But he was saying that he was in Sinaloa

Starting point is 00:47:17 on a week where the government had gotten a hold of one of the cartel Guys family members might have been like choppo son and so they sent in All like the federalists, you know like all the cops like for a presence like they the police are here and on that weekend of military chopper flew into the city. And he's like, so you know, like everybody, all the citizens are like, oh wow,

Starting point is 00:47:49 like the cops are here, look at this. And as that chopper was up there, a fucking missile came out. No, blew it up. So he's like the cartel guys had like anti-aircraft. No, yeah, and they were waiting for that helicopter to come and do that. It was a little out of the sky.

Starting point is 00:48:08 Yes, everyone's like, oh shit. How did tomatoes come? All right, we go back to my farm. That's crazy. Well, I remember like anti-aircraft. I know. When I don't know if it's the same weekend that he was talking about, I remember like, at a... At a... At a aircraft. I know. When, I don't know if it's the same weekend that he was talking about,

Starting point is 00:48:26 I remember sometime in the last 24 months, they got a hold at one time, the government got a hold of El Chapo's son. And didn't they let him go pretty quick? Well, because the cartel just came down the mountain and tanks started firing at the police in tanks, and then they were like, you can take them back. You can't, you can take them back. Yeah, you have. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's not yeah. I did. tanks and they can't do anything about it. Nothing we could do about it. Yeah. They were just like

Starting point is 00:48:54 you got it. We'll give them back. Could you imagine if like the National Guard flew over like Ohio and then someone shot it down with a fork and they'd be like, we're not going to do anything to you. I know hell no. Yeah. That's how big of a presence that is a big presence. Yeah, it's not like a hundred guys, you know, I don't know if you remember me telling this is a while ago. I was wrote and produced on this piece. It was a Ferrari racing club. Uh huh.

Starting point is 00:49:21 And it was basically, it wasn't basically, it was these guys, they're all rich dudes. I mean, these guys like, that's it's so expensive. Oh man, clubs, they all own their own for our ease. Yeah. And they have support teams. They have support teams. And they, so what they did was the guy I worked with, his name was John, and he was a young good looking dude. And he was an attorney for Philip Morris, I think, or against Philip Morris, I think it was, and then won all these cases. So he had fuck you money.

Starting point is 00:49:54 He owned a mansion in New Orleans. He had the original land speeder from Star Wars, and he would drive it to work. No, he would drive to work. He had the original. New Orleans is one of those cities that are like, yeah, he would drive to work. He had the original. No, there's one of those cities that are like, yeah, you can drive that. Yeah, people see you like,

Starting point is 00:50:08 oh my God, it's a fucking original entry. He had the original R2D2 NC3PO. He would license those out to Universal and just make money off that as a revenue stream. He then, remember the first black, gold rim Lamborghini Kuntosh poster when we were kids, like all the rage, he bought that one. That one, the one in the poster. That one. He went and got that one. He had every year of every Ferrari ever made, every year of whatever it was. And one of the things he'd say,

Starting point is 00:50:44 he would go to Italy and he'd come back on his private jet and he said, I'll take a model. I'll bring him back with me and I'll tell him straight up. Like, I got a Wednesday, Thursday. If you want to come back and fucking hang out Monday, Tuesday, you can and he's like, they get right on the private jet.

Starting point is 00:50:59 They go back, he says, before they land, he has a control, this is before before this is good. I don't know how many years ago. He would set the lights in the pool and the house. He could put the tent dry. He said he could operate C3PO and he'd have him come over and act like he was lifting up their dress a little bit. And he'd be like, Oh, C3PO. He do that. His dude was loaded. Yeah. It's good game. So he also owned owned a Ferrari and he told me that owning a Ferrari, a real Ferrari part of it is like you, it's like owning a horse at a stable.

Starting point is 00:51:30 It stays in Italy at the track. I know someone who did that and he said, I'm only allowed to drive that car when I fly to Italy and I'm only allowed to drive it on that track. It's mine to be driven there. But they all loved cars so much that he got about, I don't know, it's probably about 12 or 15 rich fucking dudes. They all had their own Ferraris

Starting point is 00:51:49 and they picked six tracks here in the US and basically tried to simulate what was going on in Italy here and they would do each track twice. So you got 12 tracks, but you're doing Jersey twice, like Tampa twice or whatever. And these dudes had so much fucking money and I had so much fun, so much fun watching them drive.

Starting point is 00:52:10 And then a couple of them crash them and they go off because they're not, you know, they ain't a race and team. I sit down, I talk to this one dude, we're in Jersey. I go, what are you doing after this today? He goes, oh, I'm gonna hop on my private jet and fly back. I'll be home in like 20 minutes, kids will swim in the pool. I go, Jesus Christ. Are you living man hat and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be home in like 20 minutes, kids will swim in the pool. I got Jesus Christ.

Starting point is 00:52:26 You live in Manhattan, he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I go, how do you get your money? Cause I'm interviewing you guys. Like how'd you come up with your money? He's like, oh, my father owns like, he owns 10 skyscrapers in New York. I'm like, buildings. He's like, yeah, my dad owns buildings.

Starting point is 00:52:39 Okay, that'll do it. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know a guy who drives like in a Porsche GT3 club, he said like on his weekends, he'll go through 15 grand and tires. I don't know. Tires?

Starting point is 00:52:53 Yeah, just on tires. I got it. Yeah. And then I did another do that. That's a lot of fucking money on tires at a weekend. This dude, I don't know if I've ever spent that much on tires in my lifetime this so far. I'm just trying to do it. This is a weekend. This dude, I don't know if I've ever spent that much on tires in my lifetime. So far, I'm just trying to do it.

Starting point is 00:53:06 It says a weekend tires. Yeah. This dude, because you know, you never know who you're talking with weekend tires. You know, you never know. Yeah. And so somebody said something, I was at a party. Tom likes cars and he's like, oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:53:21 I like cars. I was like, yeah, man, what kind of cars you got? And I'd tell him a couple of things. And about you, he's like, oh yeah, I like cars. I was like, yeah man, kind of cars, you got, and I tell him a couple things, and about you, he's like, yeah, you know. And he's doing it like really unassuming. I got this one, I got this one, I got, that's a good car. He's like, yeah, I got a couple that I keep in Italy.

Starting point is 00:53:36 And I go, you keep cars in Italy? He's wearing like a Hawaiian shirt, right? He looks like he's fucking there to change the ice. And then I was like, what? He's like, yeah, I keep that one in Maranela. I was like, you keep your cars there? He's like, just for when I go there and when I drive, you know, just to have it. And I was like, okay, this dude's pretty serious.

Starting point is 00:53:53 And then I'm talking to somebody else and they're like, yeah, he's a billionaire. I was like, oh, yeah, that's clear now. Like, he keeps his cars in Italy. Yeah, just for fun. Yeah. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah, that's big time. Big time cash.

Starting point is 00:54:09 15 grand and tired. That's so much money. Yeah, some of those dudes, like I don't know if like some of those guys will travel and drive with a crew like their own pit crew. Oh, they had their own, like the trailers, they own to the transport the car.

Starting point is 00:54:27 I'm like, you guys fund all this? Like, yeah. It's just for fun. I'm like, you still have money left over in there? Yeah, and we're just doing this for fun. I'm like, it's basically their equivalent of like, like some dudes like golf weekends, you know? So they, with all the finest gear.

Starting point is 00:54:41 Yeah, yeah. So they travel. It's their version of it. Yeah, yeah, you really the truth. So they traveled, that's their version of it. Yeah, yeah, you really got to back up a truck though. And there's nothing coming in, it's all money out. Oh, yeah. They're not getting sponsored. No, no one's paying you for shit.

Starting point is 00:54:53 No. You could be the fastest guy that day and you used to get like a high five. Dude, the one guy, he was my favorite dude. He had this black and gold card and a car. And it was a Latin phrase on it. And I can't remember exactly how it went, but it translated to, I come in peace ready for war.

Starting point is 00:55:13 And that's on his car and I was like, fuck him. I just love that fucking motto. And I go, where'd you get your money? Like what's your family business? And his family business was, he was, I think he was British, no, he was Italian, what am I saying, duh, and his family were jewelers

Starting point is 00:55:31 who worked with the Italian royalty. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, so he's busting out watches for us to see, like we can't touch and shit. Yeah, he's like, look at it. Yeah, for the cabri show, he's like, I'll get a couple for you. I'm like, Jesus.

Starting point is 00:55:46 And his, but like you say, his jewelry shop was the sponsor. Yeah. It wasn't like, you know, fucking 76 or Arcos coming in and throwing money at these guys is all money out. You know. A man of dude whose money came from the latches on, on, on, uh, planes on the doors. What's the whole? He made the latch. Because planes on the doors.

Starting point is 00:56:05 He may be the last. You think about that, you're like, there's always things you go, and you go, well, someone's got to make it, and then all the planes are like, yeah, we need that latch. This is what he makes, you know, that's what his company makes. I got one for you.

Starting point is 00:56:17 A guy I used to work with swore to us that a girl he dated's grandmother, and you can look this up if you want, because I think it was a lady. You know that little plastic pizza tray, the table that comes in your pizza, so the lid doesn't hit the cheese. Yeah, that little thing, that's her.

Starting point is 00:56:36 They made that, because Zillions of money. You really? Zillions of dollars. I mean, because you think about it, if you're gonna mass produce those, they're probably less than a penny to make. They're just a little plastic thing sure and that lady fucking That thing yeah that little table right there somebody made that mm-hmm was like yeah, give it to you for three cents

Starting point is 00:56:56 There is a old lady just follow the fundraiser. Yeah, there she is that lady of Argentina. Yeah There you go. That lady did that fucking thing. Somebody did that, right? Yeah, somebody had to do it. That's gotta make her gazillion. The cat was filled. Oh, look at that though.

Starting point is 00:57:15 It was filed 83. Oh, her mouth. Of Dix Hills got a similar one. So that might be who he knows. She failure to pay maintenance fees in 93. You get, man. Wow. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:57:29 Yeah, there's things like that you never consider. I also learned about how they were telling me how you think cartels are ruthless. They go in Latin America, the real crazy thing now is mining. Like do you mean? People, there's gold mines. Oh, and the families that control that, they're like, they make cartels look like Girl Scouts. I bet, they're like, they're like,

Starting point is 00:57:56 I'm money. Yeah, because they'll come in there and just wipe out a fucking indigenous community and they dig and do what they want. And it's so much money that it gets ruthless, you know. Yeah, I met one of those guys too. You met them? Yeah. Well, how'd you meet this guy? Just family. Yeah, through your family, you met this guy. Yeah. And they just wipe out towns and he's a real jovial guy too. I bet. He's like, I know. He's gonna be here. Fuck those people.

Starting point is 00:58:22 I bet everybody has like, I know! He's gonna be here! Fuck those people! We have killed generations of people for golf courses! Yes! That's fucking crazy! It's pretty wild. And it really is like being a a Saudi prince or something, you know?

Starting point is 00:58:43 If you have a gold mine that produces, oil, any of that shit, right? That kind of money, fuck. Yeah. Scary though, because they end up controlling entire regions. Yeah, regions. And then they-

Starting point is 00:58:59 And they- And they- And then they just get, and those communities, they just also put the government on payroll, you know, so like judges, cops, everybody's like, yeah, man, dig wherever you want. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:13 Yeah. I'll sign that. No problem. Yeah. Pretty wild. That's scary shit. I think about, um, I watched, I was a big fan of dead wood back in the day on HBO, that series. And it's partially rooted in history and how, what's the family that lives up?

Starting point is 00:59:35 It's got the, the herds, the herds up in Northern California with that herds cast on shit. Oh, right. They were the, the newspaper people, right? Yeah, and they came in. And they, the way they made their money, if I remember correctly, was there was all this gold out there. And it was, I believe the black hills, the South Dakota, and they would come in and scare people and just say, Hey, the government's going to come. They're going to make this place like every other state.

Starting point is 01:00:02 And you're not going to get the money you're supposed to get for that. So how about I give you two million right now, two million back then. Oh my God. Yeah. And we'll call it even and they would take that and then he'd have a literal mountain of gold that was worth gazillions, you know, and he's buying off these people and that's how they just started stacking their money. Once they started doing that, they started buying towns

Starting point is 01:00:25 and banks and shit, like, I'll buy your bank then. Yeah, yeah. And then they go, like, I'm buying a bank. I just want everything. Yeah, I just take it all, herstown. Yeah. Yeah, you don't get to be someone like that being a nice person.

Starting point is 01:00:37 Hell no. No, no, man. I just, I've always vived with that old mafia mentality. Like, I did a report on Capone when I was young and the Valentine Day mass occurs, just that whole, he wiped out the top guy and then sent the biggest fucking bouquet of flowers to the whole funeral.

Starting point is 01:00:58 You know what I mean? Like I've always loved that mindset. Like there you go. There you go. There you go. Yeah, there it is. Did you ever do the alcatraz tour? I did. I remember I still remember because I think I was the only person that left on the tour.

Starting point is 01:01:13 They took us to the hospital wing and they're like so Capone had syphilis. Well, he had fucked up some guy. Oh, and the guy was in bed recovering. And they said, Capone went to tickle his feet so that the guy, because the guy was in pain. He's like, ah, stop. And then they go and then Capone punched him in the stomach. Well, he's laying there and he's laying there. I was like, it's a funny thing to imagine, right? Like, I have pictures of me in black and white sitting on like the toilet in there and stuff.

Starting point is 01:01:51 Yeah. You go in the cell. I'll tell you this, I really did have a weird feeling in Alcatraz. It is. A couple of times. And we got there and originally, right when you get on the little island there, there was a Native American indigenous tribe that was speaking on like whatever they did to them or so I don't even know, ignorant.

Starting point is 01:02:14 It's so crazy that someone could escape from there. Yeah, that water. Oh, and shark infested cold, so hell of a distance. Look at that distance to anywhere. But when we got out in the yard, and you go out to the yard, that's where I felt, I felt like people had been shanked in everything out there.

Starting point is 01:02:32 I felt a dark presence out there. Look at that, when you see it from that angle too, that we're right there, I think that's the most kind of intimidating one. Because, so, oh yeah, is there one only one escape like that that that successful? I think so, but they also don't never they don't know if that guy drowned or what but I think a few people got out of there or tried to get out of it the three the three men did escape the island but most likely drowned oh so they don't consider them to be who escaped, how about who escaped successfully? Is it just the oh, and they're assuming that they all drown?

Starting point is 01:03:10 Wow, they got out though, which is nuts, it's nuts. Yeah, I have. Skating prison stories are always insane. And the tunnels they have to get like I would freak out in there. I'd make them come get me. You know what I mean? I'm like, I can't get out of there. I can't climb through a tunnel. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I do you know that that's the guy? I mean, how do you know it's coming from the Nevy Cooper type shit? Yeah, yeah. That story's amazing too. Did you watch that whole?

Starting point is 01:03:48 I did. Yeah, it was great. I did. I think that dude is him too. Which one? Like the one that they were saying they thought was him? That died? I think the guy that died is Nevy Cooper.

Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah, not the one still living. I don't think so. It was so compelling to watch. It was. And then the fine thing is like those yearly, like Comic Con type things where they all get together. But how about like back then, what year did he do that? Fuck. What years it say 71.

Starting point is 01:04:15 I wouldn't trust a parachute in 1971 or kick an open a door of a plane. An airline. Fuck no, man. Yeah. I know. That's crazy. I'd love to be able to do something like that and get away with it though.

Starting point is 01:04:31 It'd be fun. It'd be fun if you got away with it. But you'd be waiting your whole life. Because you know somebody, somewhere, there's some young 20 year old something. It's like, I'm going after this. Don't you think just let it die? A robbery would be like robbing a banker

Starting point is 01:04:43 or a museum would be such a thrill. Yeah, bank would be. I wouldn't care about the museum, the bank would be. Well, the museum would just be like the fun. Yeah, but the bank, you're scaring more people. So if that's really what you're into, you gotta feel like you got a bunch of them there. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:04:58 Because the whole thing with the museum is you wanna do it without alerting right. So it's gotta be secret shit. Yeah, but it's just fun to know that you think you're going in the opposite. Yeah, yeah. You're not going in the same way. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:05:11 You know, it's giving you all your fucking money. Yeah. What, who was the guy that got caught in Santa Monica? Oh, Whitey Bulger. Bulger. So I think he was at Alcatraz. He might have been. Was Whitey Bulger?

Starting point is 01:05:24 Can you imagine going your whole life and then someone recognized how to even get recognized like that? Yeah he was there dude look at that. In 1956 he was. Dude survived Alcatraz in the 50s and couldn't get out of the Santa Monica and what the 90s the 2000s like that. That story is incredible. It's nuts that someone was like that's fucking whitey to 2000s. Like God, that story's incredible. It's nuts. It's someone was like, that's fucking whitey bald. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:05:48 There to Santa Monica. Yes, his address is on there. Yeah. Where was it? What was his address? I wanna know how close I was the whitey baldger. Little apartment too. It's up for rent.

Starting point is 01:06:03 10, 12, oh he's off third street man, down by the Provino man. And even large. He, so the FBI agent that was part of the task force from Boston flies in and you know they wait for him in the garage. That's how this went down. Yeah, yes. What they did was they alerted him that there was a problem with like his vehicle or something in the garage So he comes down and it's just fucking a hundred agents So the lead guy might have been the guy right there

Starting point is 01:06:36 Cuff some He admits to who he is, you know, and he goes, don't you feel a sense of relief that it's over and he said a whitey-bullard He goes fuck no and he goes, don't you feel a sense of relief that it's over? And he said, why do you build your goals? Fuck no. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha.

Starting point is 01:06:50 Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Ah, fuck no. Yeah. Hahaha. You know, he died.

Starting point is 01:06:59 Uh-oh. You don't know how he died? Dude, they put a lock in a, like a, you know, master lock keypad in a sock and beat him. Who is it? Prisoners. This whole story of how he ends up getting killed is so crazy because they never really follow up on how this happened. This is the kind of thing that if you're not a conspiracy theorist makes you kind of go, okay, what the fuck is going on?

Starting point is 01:07:27 Because he is a high level inmate. Like you treat people like that a different way. There's a whole different protocol. And they move him into general population at one point and they're like, how did this happen? And everyone's like, how do I know? What do you mean? This is like, he was number one on the FBI most wanted list

Starting point is 01:07:49 for a fuck. And then he just gets transferred, like he's in protective custody, and they transfer him into GenPOP, and they kill him like on the first fucking day. They beat him to death. They beat him to death because he's a rat, you know? They held him down and beat him with a fucking lock.

Starting point is 01:08:07 And 80 something year old man. Like that's a fucking damn brutal way to die. But when they're like, well, why was he transferred like this? And why was he, and they're just like, I don't know. I don't know. Like what, that doesn't make any sense. Like there's all these checks, you know, all these protocols for high level inmates being transferred

Starting point is 01:08:26 and they're just like, yeah, just I don't know how that happened, it was a mistake. Like, it doesn't add up. It doesn't, it doesn't. It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn't, it doesn, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn't, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, it doesn, doesn, it doesn, doesn call to the mother of Sean, the murder of the murder of Bulger was planned as soon as the mobster had arrived in West Virginia. The plot started with a phone call to the mother of Sean McKinnon, one of the men accused in the killing the night before the high profile inmates

Starting point is 01:08:57 arrived. Yeah, we're getting ready to get ready to get another high profile person here tonight. McKinnon allegedly told his mother the day before the 89 year old Bolcher arrived recording of the play. So he was just basically like, I know what's happening tomorrow. As soon as they saw Bolcher coming to the unit, they planned to kill him. Yeah, it just, it makes no sense that they would put him in a regular cell. No, I mean, he's like as high profile as you, it'd be like throwing the fucking president in Gen Pop, basically, you know?

Starting point is 01:09:28 Like, people like this are always kept in protective custody. It just doesn't, it's like they wanted him dead. They wanted his aunt dead. Which, I mean, it actually lends to his claim that he wasn't an informant and that he had FBI people as paid informant, because that's what always what he said right They were always like you were a rat. He goes now. I was paying the FBI for it

Starting point is 01:09:49 So they were they were the ones giving me information and then he's just fucking Killed because they threw him in with everybody else beat the death. What a horrible way a 90 year old man essentially It's just fucking crazy one year old fucking yeah cold-blooded killers Yeah It's just fucking crazy. One year old fucking. Yeah, cold-blooded killers. Yeah. And I feel like he's Boston crime boss, but I feel like the guy that killed him it said something about Massachusetts. It feel like that goes back.

Starting point is 01:10:16 There's the guy. Prosecutors won't see it. They won't seek the death penalty either. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah, right man. It's a mop, it's like a motherfucker right there. You okay? Where's this guy from? I feel like I saw he was from Massachusetts or something there. How about that from Massachusetts?

Starting point is 01:10:32 See, that shit goes back. They were waiting on his ass. Man, you gotta live a long time to wait to get that motherfucker. He has already serving a life sentence. He must be somebody's grand kid in there. You better take that motherfucker out. The moment he arrives, not a lot of remorse in that face.

Starting point is 01:10:46 Not at all. Yeah. He's like, huh? Another, another life sentence? Yeah, I already have one. Yeah, give me another one. Sure. That guy's a light,

Starting point is 01:10:57 he was like made for crime. Criminal his entire life. Whole life. Yeah. Yeah. Whitey Bulger. Look how fucking much Johnny Depp look like him right there. He did look like him.

Starting point is 01:11:09 He really does. Yeah. Yeah, he did a good job. Who was that movie called Black Mass? Was that what it was called? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he looked just like him. Just like look at his eyes down here.

Starting point is 01:11:27 Black mass. I thought that was about Shaq's ass hole. But it's about, I guess it's about his heart. Cold blooded, dude. You watching any good lately? I started watching just Edgar Allen Poe show on Netflix, the fall of the house of Usher. Really?

Starting point is 01:11:53 Yeah, I started watching. I like Edgar Allen Poe. I thought they're gonna be one offs. Like here's an updated version of the Raven and the cast of a Monteado, but it's a series and they're telling a story of what's going on only about four episodes in right now. It's good. It's good. It's fucking series and they're telling a story of what's going on. Only about four episodes in right now. It's good.

Starting point is 01:12:07 It's good. It's fucking different and good. But it's the dude's whole family. And it's like, I forget. He and his sister were in their little, that's the mom right there that younger looking lady there when their kids up a little bit. And then they bury her in the backyards or kids

Starting point is 01:12:23 and she dies and they don't know what to do. And then one stormy night they look out and the fucking coffins all dug up and then the moms in the house and she's possessed and now she's basically going after these two and their whole entire family. And that's it too, right here in the IMV hall part of it. Yeah, wow.

Starting point is 01:12:41 That sounds cool. It's different. I don't watch much anymore. Like I don't have time for it. I don't want to sound like one of those people who say I don't want. I really am looking for something to watch. Start watching Breaking Bad again.

Starting point is 01:12:50 Just background throwing it on. Cause I feel like it's better than anything else I'm seeing right now. That is pretty amazing. I watch it. I've only seen it once all the way through. But between like legit, I have still a half the time. I don't ever get to watch TV.

Starting point is 01:13:06 And when I do, it's just football and Sundays, you know? Yeah. I make time for that. It's the only time I really have for myself. And then it's on the road. If I'm not with Stella, if I'm not on the road, then it's recording three podcasts and doing town spots. So I just, I don't know, by the time I get home

Starting point is 01:13:23 and I want to watch something, I find myself falling asleep and I'm gonna fuck it. I just go to bed. I passed on parties all that weekend. Yeah, I was like, no, I'm too tired. Yeah, I'm too tired down here. I'm too tired to stay up late. I stayed out late last night and that's the latest I've been out in a long time. How late were you up? I don't know. I wasn't even that late. Probably midnight 12th. Are you here tonight too? Yeah, you're going out? Yeah. Well, I'm gonna go do shows, but I don't go, I don't know, wasn't even that late, probably midnight, 12th, 30th. Are you here tonight too? Yeah, you're going out? Yeah, well I'm gonna go do shows, but I don't go out.

Starting point is 01:13:48 Okay, that's the other thing, I don't go out. I feel like our jobs, I can't remember the last time I've been to just a bar. Yeah, I'm not a club guy anyway, but our jobs were out and among people drinking and having a good time. And I feel like I've met the quota of vats in your life, so when I come home,

Starting point is 01:14:04 I just wanna get the fuck away from everybody. I don't wanna do anything, I've met the quota of vats in your life. So when I come home, I just want to get the fuck away from everybody. I don't want to do anything. I just want to be by myself. Yeah, I'm the same way. I just don't have it. I just like, I don't know. I so, I try to take responsibility for sleep.

Starting point is 01:14:18 I gotta try to own, like, so that I'll go, I just didn't happen. You know, I try to make it like, oh, it's on me to do it. And I just, my whole life, my whole day, everything changes when I get good sleep, everything. You know, I feel better, I work out better, I make better food choices, I work better as a comic. All of it comes back to sleep.

Starting point is 01:14:40 So every time that I'm like pushing it, saying out later, just being up late, I just feel like I pay the price so much. Yeah, and I'm up late doing nothing. I'm not doing anything. I just got a CPAP machine. Did you really? I did. I didn't realize I even had sleep apnea, and then I did a study. Where'd you go, like you went to a place? Well, I went to this one. My doctor referred this guy. It was in the same building, and I go to this guy. And he's just trying to sell me a mouth guard that he makes. And then, and Sean's doesn't cover,

Starting point is 01:15:08 I'm like, I'm not interested in your device. I want something that, well, we don't have machines. I'm like, what am I talking you for? So, and I went to Santa Monica Sleep Center and did a full study. I did a study with him too. It was like this ring finger thing, but it wasn't. What's the sleep study like?

Starting point is 01:15:22 You go home, you do the full study, and then it just records into a machine, then you give it to them, and then they tell you. So I'm a moderate on my side, but on my back, I'm a severe. I guess I stop breathing like 59 times in a minute. I mean, in an hour. So every minute, I'm fucking not breathing on my back. And they said, my tongue tongue is wide and when I relax

Starting point is 01:15:46 It just slides in the back of my throat and it blocks it so whatever so I started with the one that just up your nostrils Mm-hmm, but you got to keep your mouth shut and I if my nose is clogged my mouth automatically opens I'm not and she's like well you can use tape. I'm like I don't want to tape my mouth shut I use tapes sometimes. I know you turn me on to it Yeah, she goes well, you should probably use hostage tape and I was like she I don't want to tape my mouth shut. I use tapes sometimes. I know, you turn me on to it. She goes, well, you should probably use hostage tape. And I was like, she goes, I said hostage. I was like, that's real. She goes, yeah, she actually have a beer and a heavy duty.

Starting point is 01:16:11 And I was like, they call it hot. That's what I use. Could you imagine though, they call it any other like, tape. You know, it's like, I know. Hostage tape is a real fucking thing. It does get your attention, but it's good. So I switched to the fighter mask

Starting point is 01:16:25 so I could keep my fucking mouth open and I've been sleeping way better. It's been a notable change. Definitely a notable change. I'm probably two weeks into it right now. And I'm still getting used to like getting the seal proper and all this shit, but my scores are all say very good, very good and I definitely have right now

Starting point is 01:16:44 what I do feel is more in the tank throughout the day. Like I don't find myself tired in the middle of the day for a minute and having a rally. And I should do a sleep sleep. You should just do one. Because severe also for a lot of people, the questions are like, are you falling asleep while you're driving and shitting them?

Starting point is 01:17:02 Like, no, I'm not doing that. But on my back, during sleep, I'm almost killing myself. That's crazy. So you travel with it now? I just, I didn't bring it this weekend because I just got it and I should have. But I, I did take it to La Jolla with me the whole weekend when I was headlining down there and used it the whole time,

Starting point is 01:17:18 but this time I was like, I didn't have time to pack and I was like, fuck it, I'll just, old school die. Holy shit, old school die. Yeah, old school die. Holy shit, old school die. Yeah, old school die. Fuck. All right. But I get excited about it now. When I want to put it on and go home and sleep,

Starting point is 01:17:31 I'm like, man, how much sleep am I going to get? And then I get excited about looking at the app and what kind of score I got. And I'm like, okay, I do feel better. Yeah. And also, I don't wake up slow and cloudy. You know what I mean? Totally.

Starting point is 01:17:44 I wake up, I'm up. I'm like, no, no. That's the difference. I'm trying? Totally, I wake up, I wake up, I'm up. That's the difference. Trying to get out of this fog. I'm up and I'm pretty. Cause if you're, stop breathing once a minute, for sure you're not rested. No, yeah, at all. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:17:56 Dude, I thought I was having dainty little, I keep telling them they're like, oh, you grind. I'm like, I thought I was having dainty little sleeps. I thought when I woke up, I was just getting up cause I had to go to the bathroom. I didn't realize in my sleep, I'm going, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and just recently that happened. And I was like, what? So now I wonder how long that's been going on too. You know, has that been happening since my 20s? Or, you know what I mean?
