Starting point is 00:00:00 Good evening, everybody. I wanted to start off by just promoting patreon.com slash janispapasour. I love doing comedy where I feel safe. When I feel safe, it's like riding a horse without a saddle. I'm bareback. I'm a Native American,
Starting point is 00:00:19 and I'm just going through the plains of the Midwest, and there's no white man there. There's no Europeans there. I'm just throwing spears at Buffalo, and there's no white man there. There's no Europeans there. I'm just throwing spears at Buffalo, and it's a good time. Our last episode is noteworthy because it's titled The Things You Can't Say We Say.
Starting point is 00:00:34 So check it out, patreon.com slash Giannis Papasau. Now let's get to our week in current events with your most trusted newsman who represents everyone, including foreign expatriates and the Caliphate. We have ultra processed food has been proven to cause cancer again with another study that was done.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I'm sorry to all the people who love their Jersey Mike's. I love Jersey Mike's. I love a good Blimpie, although they got taken out by Subway, who had a pedophile for a spokesperson. What can you do? That happened. Even though Blimpie sandwiches were better,
Starting point is 00:01:14 I love fake bologna. I love salami, but it kills you and it will give you cancer, much like sugar. And much like sugar, nobody will care because the thing Americans love more than their guns much like sugar and much like sugar. Nobody will care because more, the thing Americans love more than their guns is their sandwich meat and their
Starting point is 00:01:30 meat. So let me tell you, you can issue as many warnings as you want. Okay. About how we need to stop consuming meat for climate. It ain't going to happen. I want a chicken parm. I don't want an eggplant parm.
Starting point is 00:01:43 I'll never get used to an eggplant parm. I want a chicken parm and I want it pounded flat. I don't want a thick chicken. I want a chicken parm. I don't want an eggplant parm. I'll never get used to an eggplant parm. I want a chicken parm, and I want it pounded flat. I don't want a thick chicken. I want it pounded flat. You pound that goddamn thing flat, and I want a lot of sauce. And that's just the deal. So that's another piece of news where they're trying to tell people to stop eating meat, and it's the United Nations.
Starting point is 00:01:59 You know, our favorite referee in a WWE wrestling match trying to tell people what to do. It doesn't work. Their new study has found that young Gen Zers, the boys are going right and the girls are going left. So again, another reason for them not to have any fun. I mean, we used to have fun as kids, okay? There was a lot of finger action. There
Starting point is 00:02:26 was a lot of 40s being drinking. There was a lot of blunts being smoked. There was a lot of parties to go to. Nobody knew anything about politics. If you asked me anything about politics when I was 15, I'd go, who's the president? I think there was times I didn't know who the president was. I didn't know who the mayor was. I just wanted to know, are there going to be girls at this party? And do you have the new Cypress Hill album? Now these kids are on the internet and they're getting all of their information from Alex Jones or Hassan Piker. And it's not good for boy girl relations. They're just sitting at parties and they're arguing about fucking the Middle East. Can you imagine a worse party to go to than people talking about our long-term strategy in the Ukraine? That is not a fun party.
Starting point is 00:03:09 So, yeah, we're going to continue to need immigrants because people aren't, Americans aren't making people because they're not doing anything or playing. Also, Sergio Chacon is here, our correspondent from the Lower East Side who knows nothing about what's going on in the world. I do feel a little guilty about feeding my kid Lunchables, though. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Every time I buy, I'm just like, oh, taking two days out of life. Yeah, but it would be nice if they made salads like $2.99. So that would be nice. Also, what's going on in the world is tech has made these delivery robots and the delivery robots are getting robbed. They're just getting robbed. There's a delivery robot coming to your house. And before it gets to your house, it gets stopped in the street and they say, give me your wallet. And they're opening it up and they're just Santa's coming early for a lot of people who are seeing a defenseless robot just roll through the street with packages inside it.
Starting point is 00:04:05 So not everything is a good idea. Just because you can do it, tech world, doesn't mean you should do it. We'll be talking all about it. Also, AOC. Also, Eric Adams, New York. It's in the news. She claims working class residents are fleeing New York City because it's too expensive. She doesn't want to mention how much the migrants cost. And I don't blame her. I don't blame her.
Starting point is 00:04:29 If I was her, I wouldn't either. Even though Eric Adams said it, he said, we're going bankrupt. And that's why we got to cut these programs. But she's saying it's because working class Americans can't afford New York anymore. I don't know. New York's the only place you can get a dollar slice. Sergio doesn't seem to think there's a difference between a dollar slice and Lucali's, and it really makes me angry. This is the Yanis Papas
Starting point is 00:04:54 Hour, where news from a Greek, a Puerto Rican, and a half Jew-Italian mutt gives it to you straight. We're going deep, and by deep as always I mean, roll out the above ground kiddie pool and blow it up. Down is Poppins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Here we go. So we're joined by my good friend, Sergio Chicone, hilarious comedian, snake enthusiast. He brought he actually we went to Phoenix and he brought a snake wrangler with him because he wanted to take me to a serpentarium, which I wanted to go to. But I kept rescheduling my therapies for those times that the serpentarium was open because my mental health has to come first. So I'm very upset about it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry we didn't get to go to a serpentarium in Phoenix. Also, who hangs out with a friend whose idea of a good time is going
Starting point is 00:06:07 to look at snakes? Well, the Phoenix Herpetology Society offers alligators, crocodiles, hila monsters, lizards, snakes, and all the above.
Starting point is 00:06:17 But you know what? That's trivial now. I'm past it. Your therapy means more to me than walking by cages of snakes. And I'll show you,
Starting point is 00:06:25 I got proof that it doesn't matter to me because look what I got for you, Pop. I got you a gift. What's this? And move on. Yo! So, my man, you've been talking about a shirt that I own. Yo! And I thought I was saving it for Christmas, but I couldn't wait because you kept on talking about it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yo! I did keep on talking about it. I'm a big fan of nostalgia, as we all are. Yo. And in that plastic packaging is a legend of the WW, formerly known as the WWF, WWE. Look how dope this shirt is. Ooh, the Iron Sheik. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Look how dope this shirt is. Oh, yeah. Those graphics are tight. It's so dope. Yep. So he was wearing it, and I couldn't stop talking about it because it was the dopest shirt I've ever seen. Just hit my Venmo, Pa. Yeah, that's's the thing i hate when friends are thoughtful because now i gotta
Starting point is 00:07:09 do something that's right now i gotta be thoughtful now i gotta get him a snake or another snake wrangling device yo he was trying to go through t he was trying to go through uh he's trying to go tsa do that thing and they're like is that a sword what is that he's like nah it's how you hold the snake head when you handle snakes he was bringing a snake holder it's a snake hook he was bringing it across state lines wait yeah so some of my uh uh my snakes are food motivated yeah what they will call food aggressive so you just got to give a little tap on the head wait you brought a snake on a plane no I brought a hook you brought the hook to handle the snakes yeah but I out a reptile
Starting point is 00:07:46 shop when we were in Rhode Island. Right. Oh, you did get it in Rhode Island. So he brought the snake hook because we were going to go see snakes and he wanted to hold the snakes. Yo, I heard a guy's bringing golf clubs on a trip, but never a snake hook. Yeah, no, that's Sergio. That's Sergio.
Starting point is 00:08:01 He's got affinity for reptiles. And he constantly tells me that they're sweet. And then he made a video where he was showing one and the snake bit him. It's one of my favorite videos. And he went, whoa! That's my fault. I didn't wash my hands after dealing with other snakes. It was a snake that feeds on other snakes.
Starting point is 00:08:17 It's a Mexican black king snake. Mexican black king snake. Not very popular with the Republicans. I love that he says that the snake is food aggressive. snake mexican black king snake but not very popular with the republicans i love uh i love that he called he says that the snake is food aggressive i i i would i would say that i would the way i would describe that is the snake's a snake it's a snake you're describing it like in dog terms like is that is that dog food aggressive is that Is that snake, what snake isn't food aggressive? I have quite a few.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Everything was in the paws. I don't, look, snakes are good, they're good pets if you don't want your kids to accidentally get eaten. Can I say that? Yo, how, do you think the snakes look at your cat and you have a docile cat? It's funny because he has all these snakes
Starting point is 00:09:09 and then he's got a cat that looks like Garfield that just, you know, one of those fat cats, a beautiful cat. It's a Persian. Yeah, Persian,
Starting point is 00:09:15 like with all the hair that just kind of looks at you. Right for our amusement, the face is smashed in. Oh, I love those cats. Yeah, they quite often have sinus issues. They walk around
Starting point is 00:09:23 like they had a hard night with cocaine. They're like, and they do that for hours. You know, sightseeing enjoyment. We like the sight of a cat with a smashed in face. It's appalling what humans want from our animals. It's really because we did that to bulldogs, too. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:09:41 It's disgusting. It's appalling. Yeah, but it's a good thing. You have a passion. And snakes are part of the animal kingdom. So it's like you can't blame them for being snakes. They make great house pets. You had a snake at one point.
Starting point is 00:09:53 We've talked about it. When I was a kid, I went to. And you lost it in the walls. Eight-foot boa constrictor. How do you lose an eight-foot boa constrictor? How do you misplace that? How do you misplace an eight-foot boa constrictor? He got out of his cage, his tank, and we couldn't find him for a couple of days now how did you sleep during
Starting point is 00:10:09 those days knowing that there was an eight foot boa constrictor around i was sick so it was because it's not like yeah it's not like going like i can't find the gerbil and then you just snooze off it's like trying to sleep knowing there's a hungry eight foot boa constrictor on the loose it was my more my old man a ball constrictor would never do anything. They're not capable of killing you. They're not? Not a ball constrictor. The thing is, that's a throwback.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah. Right? A ball constrictor back in the late 80s, early 90s. You probably had them in glass. Oh, yeah, with the heat lamp. Yeah, glass. A little hot rock. 20-gallon, 40-gallon tank. That's hilarious how we used to own snakes.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I used to feed them live rats. Me too. Yeah. And when you went to the pet shop, put it like in this thin ass cardboard box and quite often i'll be on the bus and that rat would chew out that box now i got a freaking jumbo rat in a plastic bag this fucking on the m12 bus everything is okay now you and if the snake didn't eat the rat now you have a pet rat yeah you've started
Starting point is 00:11:08 an organization where you want to get rid of the stigma of snakes it's called Sergio you can go to Sergio's love for snakes
Starting point is 00:11:16 stop calling stop calling dishonest people snakes dot com does that bother you that's wild I got offended by that yeah do you get offended when someone calls someone a snake?
Starting point is 00:11:26 Because they have bad qualities? I don't get offended, but it's off-putting. It's off-putting, right? Yeah. It's a little off-putting. You want to rehabilitate. I respond the same way you respond when I say dollar pizza is not that bad. Yeah, it's really.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I get the same response. I kind of bite my bottom lip and look to the left. It bothered me. It bothered me. He goes, it's cheese and sauce, Pa. I said, are you from New York? And you threw your phone across the street. I kind of bite my bottom lip and look to the left. It bothered me. It bothered me. He goes, it's cheese and sauce, Pa. I said, are you from New York? Yeah, and you threw your phone across the street. Yeah, I threw my phone.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I threw it. I threw it. Because we were going to get what's considered like the best pizza in Phoenix. I'm just saying like. It was good, but eh. Yeah, it was good. But I also have the eating habits of a honey badger. So if the dollar slice is there i'm eating it and i'm
Starting point is 00:12:05 not going to complain about it when i'm saying now compares it's a real good pizza i get the difference but you know i am complaining i'm gonna annoy everyone around me and you know what i just realized like yeah a lot of people don't ask i'm the type of guy i'll just start talking about something and i'll realize nobody asked me when Me and Sergio were walking after boxing, where I was just a little late. He was an hour and ten minutes late. It was disrespectful. There's nothing you can do. That's like me watching half of the movie Titanic.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I could have watched half of it. Yeah. He was like, I'm going to go home, and I'm going to take a nap. I'm going to eat. I'm going to walk the dog. It was disrespectful today. I apologize. Yeah, I mean, that's too sitcom. And he gave me a present. Two sitcom episodes and a nap. I'm going to eat. I'm going to walk the dog. Like, it was disrespectful today. I apologize. Yeah, I mean, that's too sitcom.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And he gave me a present, so. Two sitcom episodes and a half. Yeah. It's brutal, but it was a good session today. And he walked in, like, and he didn't want to apologize. He was like, begrudgingly. I didn't. You keep saying that.
Starting point is 00:12:55 That's not true. He was like looking down at his shoes, and he said, what are we doing? I cracked his knuckles. No eye contact. It was wild. I think I just felt, like, really guilty about it. So it's like, you know, when you're like, you know, you did something wrong. Yeah, his face was swollen like he slept
Starting point is 00:13:08 on his belly. I thought he was mad at me, so I was like avoiding him. It was kind of like what Jared did to us when he showed up late for a theater show twice. Oh, no. And he just avoided us. He didn't even come to the green room because he knows he fucked up. I knew I fucked up. So it's like, I'm not mad at Jared. I mean, you know, I've done
Starting point is 00:13:23 fucked up things. That would be hypocritical. I fucking was an hour and a half late today. So it'd be hypocritical. So we're walking after the thing and somehow I was about to just start going on a rant and I caught myself and I said, wait a second, you didn't ask. There was at no point did Sergio say, tell me about what you think about this. And I was like, oh my God, this is what I do to people. Did Sergio say, tell me about what you think about this? And I was like, oh my God, this is what I do to people. This is what I do. I just launch into these long days that nobody asked for.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I did it before this podcast started. Nobody asked. Well, you're in the right business. Yeah. I didn't mind it though, man. You're passionate. It was informative. It's all good.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah, I mean. I'm still thinking about Lunchables and how I shouldn't be feeding that to my daughter. Well, look, dude, none of us knew this. This is all recent. We kind of knew that. Coke cuts are bad for you. Yeah, we kind of knew that when they pull out a chunk of meat wrapped in plastic and they put it on the meat slicer, you're going like, wait, the animal's not shaped like that. There's no animal shaped like a boar's head. Now they're going gonna sue me that
Starting point is 00:14:27 that's the benefit of not having a huge podcast you can say stuff like that and they're like wait a second this is the brick of ham you know with sodium and preservatives to because like dude meat's not supposed to last you for a week and a half in the refrigerator and the person cutting is always like someone i knew from high school. Yeah. With a hairnet on. It's always a very weird experience. Like when I go to my local key food, there's always someone I knew from back in days. And they're not the most trustworthy person.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Cutting my meat. Maybe that has something to do with them taking a meat slicing job. I don't think anyone, does any kid grow up? Do you think if we took away the social pressure to get rich and famous, which is what America is about. And I think that's what China loves using against us. And they're right. Cause that's what everyone, that's what they pitch us. The American dream, get rich and famous. That'll be your happiness. And then you see all these celebrities, uh, you know, just dying in their bathtubs, which is the preferable mode of death. They just love dying in bodies of water. They can't stop doing pills. They just don't seem happy. Do you think if we
Starting point is 00:15:33 took away that pressure, there would be some kid who's like, I had as a dream about working at a meat slicer. That's what I love about Scandinavia and their level of socialism, because I think there's pros and cons to both. But in Scandinavia, if you work as a meat slicer, whatever, you still speak four languages because their education system is well-funded and everyone's really educated. You still get all the same benefits as a millionaire or a rich person. So there's not that, you're not looked down upon for having a job which i think is a what i like them one of the things i like the most about what your purpose in life is is to make this world socialist i was talking you love a good revolutionary how many revolutionary books
Starting point is 00:16:25 have you did you get ready to go out in the streets and hit people all I'm saying is that we do need another Malcolm X or Che or you know
Starting point is 00:16:32 or Huey P. Newton or Bobby Seals someone that talks to me that I can relate to all these other politicians I don't trust them but when I read the books of the old school
Starting point is 00:16:43 Black Panther revolutionaries I'm like damn they're talking about B. I feel like they're integrated with a street dialect, but also with a spiritual awakening and guide. I'm like, I can kind of relate to that. But that might be a little outdated, and I think it is. When they're talking about, we're doing a lunch program for the kids at the public school and stuff like that. It might be a little outdated now
Starting point is 00:17:07 but when I was young and impressionable, that's a lot of the stuff I read and I kind of hold on to the ideology. Yeah, they did do a lot of good things too. The Black Panthers did do a lot of good things. Castro did a lot of good things. He also did some bad things.
Starting point is 00:17:23 He did some naughty things? He did some naughty things as did some naughty things he did some naughty things as well yeah so um i guess you put it on a scale and you go what but in scandinavia that is a very that's a thing that was palpable that i felt when i was there is like no there's none of that hierarchy stuff when you meet some body and it's interesting to experience a culture like that because then you get to sort of reflect on your own culture and sort of the sickness of that a little bit and it is a sickness i think the fame and richest thing in america is a sickness i really do because it doesn't bring you happiness it just it doesn't change much except for you get another pair of sneakers it's just like yeah no it's a it thrives on consuming consuming consuming now listen i haven't been to many countries like that,
Starting point is 00:18:05 but when I went to Cuba, I noticed right off the bat there was a certain piece that seemed to be with everyone. Granted, I spent a week there. So what the hell? Am I really able to internalize what the average Joe is going through?
Starting point is 00:18:19 Probably not. But from my observation, there was very little internet throughout the island or whatever. And you had to go to designated parks to go on your phone. So everyone maintained eye contact as they passed by. They seemed rich with their culture. They seemed very proud.
Starting point is 00:18:34 A lot of them just seemed a little sad. Well, I mean, they do. Melancholy. They do hop in the water and try to swim to Florida. Not all of them. A lot of them. But Angelo had the opposite reaction when he went to Cuba. You remember Angelo talking about he hated it.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Really? He was like, you couldn't get anything. Yeah, man. It was tough. Angelo was a dirty capitalist. Yeah, no. I found. And this is random shit.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Like, you'll be driving up a road, and there's a shack with meat. And, like, the most random with meat and like the most random it's just the most random place I would visit so on the strips of meat are flies then they got blow pops what do you want
Starting point is 00:19:11 meat with flies on it or blow pop and then you go to a convenience store and I say convenience store very an inconvenient store
Starting point is 00:19:21 yeah it's an inconvenient store and it's like women with net stockings that don't want to be there and it's overstaffed it's like women with net stockings that don't want to be there and it's overstaffed it's like 12 employees and you can get dishwashing liquid or fucking olives
Starting point is 00:19:33 it's wild that's one of the knocks on communism nobody has any motivation I think it's more because there's an embargo so the trade is fucked up and off so it's like they ration shit off, so they're always delayed with stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That's a big argument. People blame America. It could be the embargo. Yeah, I don't know. All I'm saying, but I did find it interesting that I felt very safe walking out. I didn't see any homeless people.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm just, you know, this is a week visiting. I didn't see any homeless people. I'm just, you know, this is a week visiting. I didn't see any homeless people. Because the whole island's homeless. What I thought was an abandoned building were actual buildings that people lived in. Yeah. There was a Russian presence in there.
Starting point is 00:20:18 No, you bring up a good point. And nothing is, it's not a comic book. Because in Canada, you don't see that either. And in Canada, you eat the food there and you feel a lot better because they have a lot more regulation on their food. Like the shit that is sold here, like they just made cereal, American cereal, illegal in Japan. Yeah, and it's wild because we grew up on that shit. serial illegal in Japan. Yeah. And it's wild because we grew up on that shit. Well, that's the flaw. I think the capitalism is just, it's all about the profit motive without any social responsibility or any thought about society. And I think, uh, I think a big flaw about, um,
Starting point is 00:20:55 communism is they only think about society and they don't think about the individual. So when you elevate the group over the individual, eventually, inevitably, the individual's rights get encroached upon. It's just inevitable because it's binary thinking. It's like the only thing that matters is the group. And then in capitalism, it's like the only thing that matters is the individual. It's like we need some balance. And that's why the places that seem to function best, in my opinion, and also by the data, are places that have a nice balance of both. We are socialists. Like America is very socialist.
Starting point is 00:21:27 We have, we're mixed economy. Scandinavia, people always go, oh, they're socialists. They're capitalists. They're mixed. They just have more socialism than we do. But also when a war breaks out, they look at us and they go, well, you defend us because we are, all our money's going to schools. So it's a complicated world.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And also there's poverty here. So it's not you can't look at cuba and just go like oh they're all poor it's like yeah we're a rich country how come flint doesn't have drinking water the thing is about cuba no one's starving out there nobody's starving yeah that's a good point yeah nobody's everyone is educated you know but you know you could be a doctor and be working as a cashier yeah and you and you know that some of the, you know, those doctors, some of them are going like, get me a, I want a, I want a. Oh, man, they're looking across that water.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, they're going like, oh. Oh, that's got to be tough. They're like, oh, my God, Dua Lipa's Miami home looks really nice. And all she does is be hot and sing mediocre white. Like, I'm a doctor. I went to medical school. If I could get half of that, that would be very nice.
Starting point is 00:22:26 You know what's interesting about Cuba? And this is like, I think what that's interesting about bare minimum and being reduced to like just what you have immediately at your disposal,
Starting point is 00:22:36 how to create great things because they have the best boxing team ever with very little equipment. So they rely heavily on footwork and the tenacity of, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:48 of their movement and not getting hit. So they, you know, they don't have a lot of resources, but they know how to move. And they have like the best amateur boxing team ever. And I think that has something to do
Starting point is 00:23:00 with being prideful, but also being equipped with the bare minimum. They have to move their fucking feet. That's interesting. Yeah. And it's boxing, it's like soccer in a little bit,
Starting point is 00:23:14 in that every place has their style, right? It's like in soccer, like different countries have a, they play a style of soccer, and boxing, it's kind of similar, right? The Cubans move their feet a lot the mexicans yeah they're very they're very defensively sounding and very technical which could be very boring to that average western viewer because the american
Starting point is 00:23:36 boxers are like aggressive offense right american style boxing is a little flashier believe it or not but from state to state it does vary, which is interesting. Yeah, isn't it the Philly, what do they call it? The Philly Shell? The Philly Shell, which evolved as like a crab. It was like a crab walk. And Joe Frazier used to do it. It was a shell defense. And then as you
Starting point is 00:23:57 elongated the angle, that became the Philly Shell. But what's interesting, that's a highly defensive move, which requires great counter-punching ability, but also can leave you very vulnerable. The thing is, it's interesting, ironic, because Philly fighters, a lot of Philly fighters are bangers.
Starting point is 00:24:17 They're known for having the heart. And a lot of the greats from Philly didn't fight like that. Like Bernard Hopkins. He was veryilly didn't fight like that. Like Bernard Hopkins, you know. Right. He was very defensive. He was like 102. Yeah. Yeah, really.
Starting point is 00:24:31 He was like well into his 40s and still good. Yeah, you know, Serge and me were actually talking about that. It's like, yeah, whatever. There's always going to be a negative. There's always going to be a vulnerability, whatever. You can't have it all. Nobody can have it all. Like Paulie said from the great Uncle Paulie's deli, the universe is balanced.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Like the line from Vanilla Sky, you can't have the sweet without the sour. And like Yanni says, the check, there's always a check. You always got to pay either before or after, but the check comes. Everything in life. If you're short, it's usually you're not as strong. But if you're big, you're not as fast. There's always a weakness. That is the condition of life. If you're short, you know, it's usually you're not as strong, but if you're big, you're not as fast. It's like, there's always a weakness. That is the condition of life. That's the condition of existence is you can't have it all. You know, that's right. Yeah. But, but, you know, you can have it all when you listen to this pod, because we give it to you all. We don't give
Starting point is 00:25:23 you some, we give it to you all and you can't give you some, we give it to you all. And you can't have it all when it comes to food. So we got to do something in this country when it comes to food. We have to do something. People, the cancer rates and the heart disease rates are crazy. Do we regulate food more like Canada does, like all these other first world countries do? I know that would make libertarians upset. I don't know. We've talked about that. But we do eat too much meat.
Starting point is 00:25:50 When's the last time you had a meal without meat? I'm already thinking about the meal we're going to have right after this. I'm not thinking about getting any vegetables. I mean, have you ever dreamed about broccoli? I mean, he was trying to lie to me and tell me sautéed spinach is something he craves. I'm like, I do it when I'm forced to eat it. And the only time I can eat spinach is if it's loaded with fucking cream. Cream of spinach.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Cream of spinach. Yeah, that's good. Do you ever dream about vegetables? I eat vegetables the way a dog eats hair. Now, close your eyes and envision that. I'm like, is this what it is? And I wish. And I think I'd I'm, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:25 I think I'd like to be the ambassador of health. I just, I can't get into it. I mean, I kind of force feed myself. When I eat vegetables, I feel like I'm forcing myself to eat the vegetables. Yeah, but I do feel good. It makes you feel incredible. I feel incredible.
Starting point is 00:26:36 It feels incredible. It feels incredible. If you have like a clean protein and a vegetable and like just a little potato, a little star, if you eat the balanced meal that they tell you to eat you feel great i never had a balanced dude sauteed spinach italian style is delicious you mean with the little red pepper a little olive oil and garlic but is it delicious yes yes it's like i mean you know it's like a bolognese delicious no no it's not yeah it's like a slice of pizza delicious? No. The same thing with broccoli.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I never enjoyed broccoli. That shit's fried with four pounds of cheese on it. Yeah, or unless it's drenched in sauce. I use it like bread. I'm like, ugh. Even then, I'm eating it like... Yeah, the worst part about it is the taste of broccoli. You're like, I like the taste of oyster sauce
Starting point is 00:27:24 from my beef and broccoli. Yeah, I mean. It's tough. It's tough. The way this planet was designed was tough. The best things for you are the least fun. And that goes for women as well. I like the way you wiggle and you see. Yeah, I swiggle a little bit when I threw that out.
Starting point is 00:27:44 So this is coming up. Now we know processed food also causes cancer. Added sugar causes cancer. Just like smoking, it's as bad for you. Now the United Nations is coming in and they're trying to say that the world has to reduce its meat consumption. That's like asking people to stop masturbating. How is it possible? How, once you've developed a taste for meat, how is it, the only thing that's ever going to work is cloned meat. And is meat that bad for the environment? I'd like to live in a world where
Starting point is 00:28:16 it's not, but supposedly the cow farts are bad, right? Because there's a lot of cows and they flatulate. And also you got to clear all this land for cows, right? Is that the problem? Is the cows? Well, the factory farming is just awful. It's brutal. It's brutal. I don't like to think about it.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It's like my iPhone. I don't want to think about how it's made. I just don't want to think about it. Peter has a movie called Meet Your Meat. I defy you to watch that and order a cheeseburger deluxe. I don't think it could be done. It's tough, right? And also, we're running out of space.
Starting point is 00:28:47 We're going to other parts of the world, the rainforest for cow farms or whatever, and that's reducing the oxygen intake. It's like a whole host of things. Dude, the cows that are on farms are lucky. Some of them are just penned up their whole... It's brutal, dude. It's brutal. It seems like the key to thriving and existing on this planet is balance in every way.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Mentally, everything is balanced. Happiness, living with the environment in a sustainable way. It just, everything seems, we got to just focus on balance. Everyone's got, I want you to hold your hands like this. And I want you to do lizard skin yoga this and i want you to lizard skin yoga pose i don't know what they're called but it's like the eastern shit there's a lot of good stuff there it's more balanced because the no end to up stuff that's jesse's quote that's no good no ends to there's no end to up well i don't know how you just said it what did you say no ends to ups
Starting point is 00:29:43 is that is that was that what you said i said no end to up but i like't know how you just said it what did you say no ends to ups is that is that was that what you said i said no end to up but i like the way you said it better no street street eyes did no ends to ups i did hold up let me call my mom's pluralized yeah you pluralize it you pluralize it so they want people to stop consuming meat and because of all the cow farts and it's just not going to fly these are the countries now these are the countries that eat the most meat we dominate australia dude for a small little country the funny thing about australia too is like most of that country is just outback it's like there's like oh i thought you meant outback steakhouse yeah that's how i
Starting point is 00:30:19 saw the uh the emblem immediately yeah dog i mean you know it's like iceland there. There's like, Australia's like Iceland in the sense that like what's inhabited, not Iceland, Greenland. It's like what's inhabited is like all down on the bottom and the rest is just, just outback. It's just wild dingoes out there. I don't know what's out there. Snakes and tarantulas. You'd probably be, you'd probably be in it. I want to visit.
Starting point is 00:30:41 The fact that it takes 20, 20 days to get there is concerning. It's concerning. But the wildlife is abundant. They have all sorts of amazing animals out there. Look, if I'm going to spend, I don't know, if I'm going to spend like 24 hours on a plane, I don't want to land and just see dudes, just see white dudes who go like, oh, you did it.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I'm like, I traveled 20. I could have just like went outside. You know what I mean? If I go 20 hours, I want to go to Japan. I want to go to South Korea. I want to go to, I traveled 20. I could have just like went outside. You know what I mean? If I go 20 hours, I want to go to Japan. I want to go to South Korea. I want to go to, that's it. That's it. I want to go to Japan or South Korea, and that's it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I don't want to go anywhere else. He just came back from Japan, and he said that it's Dino. He's a comic. He said that it's wild, that it's super clean and sophisticated and there's technology. Yeah. And people were gawking at him because they didn't see nothing like it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:30 He's also a strange looking dude, but that's besides the point. Yeah, he's got an interesting face. Well, yeah, he's Jewish and black and might be a little bit of Puerto Rican. Wow. So his time right now, he's very confused on who's his friends. I mean. wow so his time right now he's very confused on who's his friends i mean it's a hard time to be mixed with with uh chosen right now i think eric andre is just like what do i do but wouldn't it be nice to go to a country that if you fall in love with a woman and she
Starting point is 00:32:01 cooks the meal wrong and you just say you dishonor her family she walks out a window i mean that's nice there's something nice about that culture you know where they make a mistake and they feel so shamed that they just walk and she just goes i'm sorry and then you don't have to get a divorce she just falls out of a window because she put shame on you and her family that's a cultural nice thing that's nice you know make a mistake. That's why the cars are so good because if they make a mistake on the line there on a Lexus, you know, they just, they go, everyone looks at them and goes, you know what you got to do.
Starting point is 00:32:33 You didn't screw that part in, right? You know what it is. They probably have in all the car factories in Japan like a plank on like the eighth floor where dudes just walk out and they just, I dishonored the company, and they just walk. It the company and they just walk and be nice you know asian women they attend to your needs a little bit they're a little more you know the bowing it's very nice we should go back in and conquer them
Starting point is 00:32:56 i'm kidding no okay they're our allies how if if they become our allies, everyone in the world can work it out because we dropped nukes on them, and now they love baseball, and they're like our allies. So it's like, figure it out. Just figure it all out. Like, girls and boys got to figure it out. I don't know what's going on
Starting point is 00:33:17 with this new study that they did, but Serge, I don't know what's going on. When I was this age, I wasn't interested in what a woman's political opinions were. How young are we talking about? Where is this? This was a survey done by Teen Vogue. So this is the best.
Starting point is 00:33:35 It's like the Nielsen rating. It's accurate. This is like a political poll. This is Teen Vogue. You know they send their best researchers out there so this could this could not even be true but they did a survey oh they didn't even call it a study because they what do they do they just ask 10 people in a magazine yes a few kids so who knows if it's true but we're gonna pretend like it is true um survey found that young women i mean who
Starting point is 00:34:02 does publish true things anymore? It'd be funny if the only place that does is Teen Vogue. It's like they become like the reliable source. Teen Vogue, which I can't even believe is still a thing. Yeah, I haven't heard about that shit in years. I mean, it's just digital now, right? They're not pressing up hard copies of any of this. I don't know, because if you see a Teen Vogue magazine in my premises. I would be concerned.
Starting point is 00:34:24 It's a concerning thing. Yeah. It's concerning. But... Oh, so the survey was actually not conducted by Teen Vogue. So I want to do an editorial retraction in real time. Because, you know, this is the only show where you get the news while we learn the news. In real time.
Starting point is 00:34:43 It was conducted by Change Research and shared. They went to Teen Vogue first. They didn't go to the New Republic. They didn't go to the New Yorker. They didn't go to the Times. They didn't go to the Post. They didn't go to the Boston Globe. They went to Teen Vogue, where news is broken.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And they found overall that young women, transgender people, and non-binary people trend more politically left than young men. Which is boring. How great would it be to meet a trans woman who's like, we gotta get rid of all these goddamn Mexicans. That would be fun. Who would you rather have at a party?
Starting point is 00:35:18 I would love to have a hard, mega right trans woman like Caitlyn Jenner talking about how we gotta to curb immigration and and we need smaller government that's what I want I want a conversation with her I don't want to look at a trans woman and know exactly what's going to come out of her mouth because I've judged her by her haircut because as I've said you can't judge a book by its cover but you can definitely judge a conversation by its haircut for sure I don't know why I picture this person you're talking about that you're making up,
Starting point is 00:35:47 smoking but blowing the smoke out of a window, but doesn't touch any meat. It's all vegan. That person. Yeah, it's vegan, but smokes. Yeah, chain smoker packs the cigarettes. Yeah, and just wants to talk to you about all the good stuff Trump accomplished. That would be fun. Mix it
Starting point is 00:36:05 up a little bit. Don't be so predictable. So that's obvious. And then on the other hand, this is the part that's surprising. Young men were more likely to lean right. 13% of men surveyed identified themselves as libertarian. This is growing. Libertarian movements, they're going to get their shot now in Argentina. Let's see what happens. So the libertarians, also libertarians are real fun. They are fun because when you ask them if they're right, they go, we're not right. They hate to be characterized as right. They hate to be characterized as left. What is a libertarian? They just self-govern themselves? Well, if you ask me, they're anarchists. They're anarchists, right? If you ask me. Or if you ask me, they got an answer for everything. They have an excuse and a rational they got an answer for everything they have an excuse and a rationalization
Starting point is 00:36:45 and answer for everything and they're just they always talk about how pure libertarianism has never been tried it's almost like talking to a communist for me because a communist will always say it's the embargo it's got nothing to do with the flaws the intrinsic and inherent flaws of communism it's the embargo that's how about the first time I met an anarchist. I was at Philly Freedom Summer. It was 2000. The year was 2000. I was broken.
Starting point is 00:37:12 My heart was broken from this girl who lived five blocks away from me. She broke up with me and I was going through, you know, the slow motion breakups? Yeah. Slow motion. You go to sleep thinking about it. You wake up thinking about it. And you may stab her clothes with a dull butter knife. You may peek into her window riding your mountain bike.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Yeah, borderline stalker, yeah. Yeah, yeah, hanging behind a bush and the security says, get out of here. I was just fixing a chain on my bike. I was infatuated with her. And then Philly Freedom Summer comes upon, you know, with her and then philly freedom summer comes upon uh you know it was a political organization by the name of uh uh refuse and resist and just imagine i'm the only puerto rican there it's either black or white the white people have dreadlocks the women don't shave their underarms
Starting point is 00:37:58 they got hairy blonde hair all the dudes look like most deaf they They're backpackers. I can smell it. I can smell what you're describing. I mean, it smells like Pabst Blue Ribbon, cigarette smoke, and falafels. And there's poetry, you know, and wrinkled paper. There's backpacks that
Starting point is 00:38:19 are influenced by military, you know, design. Heavy, heavy, heavy with the baggy jeans. We're talking about JNCO. A few pair of sandals out there. Flip flops with JNCO jeans. JNCO style, army style jeans. There's a drum circle.
Starting point is 00:38:41 There's a drum circle. There's a lot of, what's that game? The hacky sack. There's a drum circle. There's a lot of, what's that game? The hacky sack. The hacky sack is abundant. Yeah. So I went to Philly, and I was coming out of this breakup. I was heartbroken. I wanted to find myself.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Like, I was so heartbroken, like, anything would have been better. Kissing a dude would have been better. Just something, some affection in my life, because this girl broke ice cold. She broke me. You know when you're like, oh oh my God, I really miss you. I really miss you. Can we please get a fucking answer, motherfucker? I want to kill you.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah, I was like, wow, the closest thing is a bipolar. Well, it's because she's banging another dude. She's banging another dude and she's moved on and you have it. She was mean, dog. She was a Virgo. I don't know why I care to share that, but she was a Virgo. She would say things like, yeah, you're just really distraught.
Starting point is 00:39:27 She would say things like that, and I could hear her biting her thumbnail. Well, you're something distraught. Anyway, fast forward to Freedom Summer. We stood at someone's house in Philly in the corner of Germantown, predominantly black people, and they welcomed us,
Starting point is 00:39:42 and we're open arms. We're painting picket signs and all this shit the things the guy will do for some poos poos nah man I was all about
Starting point is 00:39:50 free Momia who allegedly killed a cop right right in Philly Momia what's his name Momia or Bull Jamal yeah
Starting point is 00:39:57 yeah I was all about you know pro abortion rights we're walking like all this shit right and I was in it
Starting point is 00:40:04 there's a picture of me in a Philadelphia Tribune fucking running shirtless with a bandana on my face. Wild stuff. I had a great head of hair that was blowing in the wind. Yeah, dog. So anyway, fast forward, we're at the Union Square in Philly.
Starting point is 00:40:20 And it's the GOP, the convention for the Republicans, right? And your dogs, we're marching, we're chanting, we're calling politicians out and shit. And dogs,
Starting point is 00:40:36 these anarchists creeped up behind us and they were all in black and they looked like naughty white boys. Best way I can describe it. They all looked like Eminem but dressed in black. Right, right. And they had some liquid with them. Yeah, naughty white boys. They all look like Eminem, but dressed in black. Right, right. Right? And they had some liquid with them.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And they were throwing that shit. I was like, what the fuck? They were too close to us. So now I'm kind of in this situation where I was like, yo, what are you guys involved in? But it just looked like maybe bottles of water. But they're going to be cocktail bottles for all I knew. Anyway, they were disruptive. They were disruptive. Yeah, they were disruptive. They were disruptive.
Starting point is 00:41:05 And, yeah, they were radical. Yeah. They fucking ignited the interest of cops on horses. They ignited what? The interest of cops on horses. So the cops on horses didn't like what they were doing. Wait, I don't understand. They ignited the interest of cops.
Starting point is 00:41:22 So they were fucking misbehaving. I thought they were igniting something. No, no. That's just Sergio for the cops. Yeah, I got it. It's right, what you're saying. Ignite sounds like fire. Yeah, I got lost. So the cops got upset.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And they were running towards us with batons, hitting people in the head. And now I decided that it would be great because I felt very alone in the situation so i offer anna kiss some water he was like no he like throws the water bottle so i hold the hands of like two strangers and they're like men i'm holding men male hands and i remember it was like we created like a human chain right and i felt so gay and i also felt so secure yeah because you're holding someone else's hand.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah, I was holding someone. We created like a fence. I winced at them cops. You were just going to take the hit from the cops? I just wanted to be, I felt too alone. So I grabbed the sweaty palm of some white kid named Kyle and some other kid named Fish Skull because he didn't want to give his real name.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Everyone was named Finn, Xanax. Everyone had a fucking bizarre name. Yeah. I was dirty. Yeah. And the cops arrived right by us. I don't know what we thought we were going to do with my 20-year-old arms.
Starting point is 00:42:43 We created a human chain, and they ran past us. And then we all, a couple of people got naked and jumped in a fountain, and it was... I would have loved to have dated an anarchist. It was quite an experience. That's interesting. She was an anarchist, like, she was just, like, for, like, no government or everything?
Starting point is 00:42:56 Well, I don't know. They don't speak to you much. So I was part of a group called Refuse and Resist, and the anarchists were a separate group, and they all wore black. So how about her? What was she? When you say her,
Starting point is 00:43:06 the girl you was. No, the ex-girlfriend was the ex-girlfriend from the hood who I was trying to get away from. Oh, this was just during that time.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Yeah, during that time. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. So you were trying to find yourself. I was trying to find myself. You were lost.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yo, I might have come back to Third Street, my old low east side neighborhood with a beret looking like take a minute. No, I'm not a lick of Spanish. Spanish. You want to get a guy to believe your cause, catch him in a heartbreak because he just needs friends and someone to listen to.
Starting point is 00:43:31 I would join ISIS when I was heartbroken. I was so heartbroken I was ready to join the Cuban army. If there was a girl or someone who was dropping that game on me, I would have picked up a stupid little rifle with my flip-flops and carcanai jeans. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And fought for... You would have fought for the liberation of people who aren't your people. Right. Yeah. And I remember I met this headhunter at Petland Discounts, and I used to clean her iguana tank. Which was your office for a little while. Yeah, my office. I would clean the iguana tank weekly and I came by with my beret and check her beret shirt
Starting point is 00:44:11 and she was like, what are you wearing? And I was like, I just feel like we all need to be treated. She laughed at me and then walked to the other room. That was your revolutionary days. You were a revolutionary. So, yeah, I mean, I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Libertarians, you know, you could say they're not anarchists, right? They believe in very limited government, very little regulation, protect people's property. It sounds all very nice on paper. That's why I made the joke that I'm a libertarian.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I'm also a communist because they sound great. I mean, it sounds ideal. Like, everyone respects everyone's property. That's why I made the joke that I'm a libertarian. I'm also a communist because they sound great. I mean, it sounds ideal. Like everyone respects everyone's property. Everything's perfect. Sounds great. Same with communism. To each his own according to his need. I love it. Everyone lives in peace. No state. I love it. But how does it work in reality with the nature of man and how corrupt- Well, with capitalism, it doesn't really work. There's a lot of negative byproducts to it. Well, yeah, there's a lot of negative byproducts. But there's a lot of positive. But there's also a lot of negative.
Starting point is 00:45:07 But the thing about capitalism, we joked about this, is it's like it's sort of owning it. Going, people are selfish. People are self-interested. They should be able to. Or are we conditioned to be that way? I don't know. It's a good question.
Starting point is 00:45:21 It's a good question. What do you think, Jess? I don't know. Oh, we're that way. We're that way. We're that way. If you look at history, you're going to say it's a little more of It's a good question. What do you think, Jess? I don't know. Oh, we're that way. We're that way. We're that way. If you look at history, you're going to say it's a little more of that evidence that we are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:29 But I don't know. It's a good question. These are good questions for the people to answer in the comments for engagement. And me asking. We led a more spiritual life that is more tangible, you know, of sharing and equal rights and everything. Yeah, but somebody's got to do the shit work. Yeah, somebody's always got to do the shit work and you got to be okay to do the shit work.
Starting point is 00:45:52 And that's why I like Scandinavia because people are more okay to do the shit work because you don't look down at a garbage man and garbage men make great money here. So a garbage man is a bad example. You don't look down on anyone. It's a true thing that I experienced. It's a culture. I experienced it. It's interesting. They don't ask what you do. You know how every conversation here starts with like, so what do you do? What's your job?
Starting point is 00:46:15 Over there, it's like nobody even asks that. And it's like, everyone's got great benefits. Everyone's really educated. And everyone feels like they have a job, but Sweden, well, at least up until recently was a homogeneous society. It was 5 million people, 7 million people, very easy to control. You know, it's very easy to one culture, uh, you know, small amount of people, specific portion of land, lots of room. They got a massive country that's not densely populated. So it's very easy to pull that shit off, especially when you have NATO, you know, or if not NATO, are they in NATO, Sweden? I don't can't remember. But you have the EU, you got allies protecting you and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:46:55 looking out for your interests. These things are easy to pull off. So it's hard. There's never going to be a utopia. But to answer your question, and then we'll get back, is I think I found from my experience, I don't know if I call it spirituality. I think there's an element of that. Yes, you could say that. I think it's, I don't even want to say mental health because it's like a combination of spirituality and mental health. I think people need to get more in touch with their subconscious.
Starting point is 00:47:23 So I think it's also psychological mostly. People need to understand who they are, what they do. Now, a lot of smart people have said that in different ways, right? Like Socrates said, the unexamined life is not worth living. I think that's essentially what he meant. It's like, who are you? Why are you doing what you do? Why are you not? You have to bring the subconscious motivations to the conscious because the subconscious can be very destructive and people aren't aware why they do what they do. Why are you not, you have to bring the subconscious motivations to the conscious because the subconscious can be very destructive and people aren't aware why they do what they do. They don't want to look in. So I do think the last stage of evolution, if we were to make it and not off ourselves, which there's a fucking real possibility of, is that inward look. I think the next stage of evolution is not another thumb.
Starting point is 00:48:06 It's not, uh, you know, it's, it's inward look. Who am I? Why do I do what I do? What, why do I prefer these certain things? Why do I have these habits? Why am I irresponsible here? There's always a subconscious reason. So, and genius has figured that out. It's like when you dream, that's your subconscious going. It's like, oh, it has a meaning. There's like things you're connections to protect you that are just, like I said, subconscious. So they're not thought out. And sometimes those can cross, the wires can cross and it can be bad stuff. So I think that's what would solve the problem. Everyone's always yelling at groups.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Everyone's always trying to get moral high ground. Everyone's always making everything into a cartoon. These are the good guys, these are the bad guys. But it's like, nobody's doing this. Yeah, dawg. Nobody's going, look at the man in the mirror. Who is that, Michael Jackson?
Starting point is 00:49:21 Michael Jackson. Who raised children? I was trying to tell you when we left the hotel the other day, I was like, turn off that light switch. Conserve energy.
Starting point is 00:49:28 It's the little things. It's the little things. I like this one. There are no big things. There's just little things. Big things are an accumulation of little things. This is a Buddhist podcast.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Yes. There's some evolution. And then we're going to add some gangsta to it. Every time you say something like a Buddhist quote, I'm like that. Yes, preach.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Like the Israelites. That's why I love the Israelites. I love that dude in the gangsters. Every time you say something like a Buddhist quote, I'm going to be like that. Yeah, it's preach. Like the Israelites. That's why I love the Israelites. I love that dude in the Israelite. The Israelites? Yeah, I love the guy who goes, say it. Tell them. Yeah, I love that. The Israelites used to scare me as a kid.
Starting point is 00:49:55 They used to yell in front of Macy's. They're the best. They're my favorite. Yo, they still exist? I hope so. Oh, yeah, they still exist. I don't want to get rid of them. Where do they get their garments?
Starting point is 00:50:03 Dude, they get their, yo, is there an Israelite store? Yeah, because those, I mean, they have shields. They have shields. They look like medieval knights. Yeah. I mean, their outfits are wild. Yeah, they were very, their military state of being reminded me of like 5% Nation. You ever familiar with them?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Like, it was like a branch off Muslims. Yes. Like the Nation of Islam. Yes. But it was like, you know, 5% nation. You ever familiar with them? It was like a branch off Muslims, like the nation of Islam. But it was like 5%. But I don't quite understand the Israelites. The Israelites are the real Jews. Because the Bible is like...
Starting point is 00:50:39 If you think about it, Christianity is... We need to get a clip of an Israelite screaming at somebody. Oh, I'd love to get an Israelite here. I would love to get an Israelite here. Oh, get them here? Oh, got to interview an Israelite? Maybe they should steal.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So they have a lot of wild ideas. One thing is white guy's evil. I don't know. I don't want to get caught up by... The white guy's evil, and his light skin is because of leprosy. You're the white devil! Yeah, white devil. And we have leprosy.
Starting point is 00:51:02 So all the white people have leprosy, and the reason why you can tell that they're evil is the white. They don't have any melanin. It makes them evil. And they're the real Jews. They're the actual Jews. So essentially, they're the Jews, like black. There's some tribe, some African tribe that was the original Jews.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And everything else is made up history by the white devil to steal that. And I don't know what the end game of that is, but they're the Jews. Because the Jews, the Bible... So the interesting thing is, Christianity is based on the Old Testament, which is the Torah, essentially, right? Am I getting that right? Correct. Yeah. So Judaism, it was like the original religion, right? And then also Islam is like, a lot of it is from the Bible, right? So they believe in Jesus as a prophet. They don't think he was the son of God.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I don't think the Jews don't either, but he was a prophet and they believe in all the Jewish prophets. So it's ironic that there's this problem between the Jews and the Muslims because they're very much alike. They don't eat pork because of the religion. Kind of like bloods and crips. Very similar. Yeah, they're very much alike. They don't eat pork because of the religion. Kind of like bloods and crips.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Very similar. Yeah, they're very much alike. Dude, they're much more alike than Christians. Christians have less in common with Jews and Muslims than Jews and Muslims do with their religion. And a lot of ways their culture, because the original Jews were Sephardic and Semites, and they lived right there. They're all in the same area. And then the Muslim conquest happened. There was a little fighting, but you know, they lived in the same area and they fought a little bit and shit like that, but they're more familiar with each other. Then the Christians was a new thing. And Jesus is all about Jesus and a Virgin Mary, baby. Jesus and a Virgin Mary made it different. So that's what that, that came in. And I'm going to,
Starting point is 00:52:44 yo, so that's, that's going to and um i'm gonna yo so that that's gonna be my job i'm gonna find your israelite or a guy who was please do israelites please do i would love that i would absolutely love that now uh we got to talk about these uh delivery robots because this is they're funny videos so i don't know which company i haven't got past the videos so i didn't do any research on this because the videos are fun. But we're going to play a little bit here of what's going on. How are they dispersed? A truck gets them out?
Starting point is 00:53:11 We're going to learn it now. Okay, cool. As Rachel Minnesot joins us live in Hollywood. The videos are fun. Watching the robots at Jack. They're really impacting businesses who use them. Rachel. Pedro and Bea, you've probably seen the robots
Starting point is 00:53:26 scooting along the sidewalks here in Hollywood and elsewhere around the city. They're becoming more and more popular for food delivery post-COVID. Why? The problem is, some people seem to be taking advantage
Starting point is 00:53:36 of the new technology. Who wouldn't? Final TikTok videos appear to show people tampering with these autonomous delivery drivers in this case stealing the contents inside tossing them over and even kicking the robot en route to deliver food vandals targeting the new tech which businesses like blue jam and hollywood rely on i think it was a great idea for covid everything was just like hands-free
Starting point is 00:54:03 you don't want to deal with anybody just if something shows up it's not a great idea for COVID. Everything was just like hands-free. You don't have to deal with anybody. Just if something shows up at your door, you just grab your stuff and go. All right, turn it off. Steve Avila is the- Here's the thing. They're creating these robots to deliver your food and deliver packages. Amazon's got some plan.
Starting point is 00:54:14 They got drones, all this shit. Somebody has to stop the tech industry. They have to be stopped. It's like you have to go, you know what? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. It's very similar to a lot of other things. Like just because I can hit you doesn't mean I should.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Someone needs to say to the tech industry, we need some fucking jobs. Some people need fucking jobs. Can delivery people, I want my delivery being delivered by a guy who fucking smirks at me because he doesn't speak English. That's what I want. I want it being handed to me by a guy
Starting point is 00:54:53 who doesn't speak my language. We have a nice nod. It's a human interaction. I know my meal's gotten there. It's gotten the human care that it deserves to get there. I don't need some goddamn robot who goes two miles an hour
Starting point is 00:55:05 going down a street to give me my food. What if I have steps? What if my front door has steps? I don't even understand this. So this is Amazon doing? How Amazon deploys collaborative robots? Stop it! Stop!
Starting point is 00:55:20 We don't need fucking robots delivering shit. I mean, I feel like it promotes obesity. Now people, you know, customers are going to be intrigued by it. So let's order food. So the robot comes in. And they don't want to step out the crib. Now you got people who maybe are delivery people doing a more sedative job, right, or not working at all.
Starting point is 00:55:40 I just feel like it's super irresponsible. Yeah, it's another way for us not to move, which we have to move. The only robot I like is my shark. That shit cleans a bad dog's ass. That thing that just rolls around on its own? Yeah. I mean, like... My little vacuum cleaner. People need to move,
Starting point is 00:55:58 man. People need to do stuff. This is something you just don't need. They're just doing it because the possibility's there. What's next? A fucking robot that just stops fooling them off you just don't need they're just doing it because they're like the possibilities there fucking a a robot that shoves food in your mouth you don't move and eventually that's what's gonna be eventually you're just gonna lay on the couch and there'll be an amazon drone that flies into your house catapults that has arms and will be able to just feed you like this so you don't have to move at all it It's just ridiculous. This is one of those things
Starting point is 00:56:25 where someone had an idea and it was all theory. This is actually a perfect example that you can use. It's analogous to all things, right? Politics, justice, everything, whatever you want to say. This is like an idea that someone had. They're like, oh, this is going to be great. Again, they don't have to pay people. They always love that part. More profit. They always love that part. And it's going to be great. And let's do it because we can do it. It'll be so cool.
Starting point is 00:56:50 But nobody thought about these robots just roaming the street. They just thought people were just not going to interact with the robot or steal stuff. Here's a guy just stealing everything in the robot. So now what they're going to do is they're going to keep pushing this stupid plan. And they're going to probably put guns on the robot so then the robots are going to shoot people
Starting point is 00:57:08 and they're going to end up hitting a baby carriage because it's a robot and then you we're going to have that problem there's going to be fucking drive-by robot shootings right because they got pretty easy to get into as well or they're going to hire four armed guards to walk and then you're like why don't we just go back to one delivery guy they should make them shock like they give out a little shock so if you touch them you get zapped or it'd be cool if they go medieval style and have spikes on them spikes on it put spikes yeah sword comes out and slices off your feet put barbed wire over it or just uh rub shit all over it nobody shit nobody wants to touch shit just rub shit all on the outside
Starting point is 00:57:45 and then nobody will touch it. This is just one of those things you're going, why? Why are we doing it? Why? There's no reason to do it. Okay, just so you know, the Koch brothers are supporting Nikki Haley.
Starting point is 00:58:00 They're not behind Trump. That's the thing. The Koch brothers are the Soros, is the Soros of the Soros of the left of the right. Right. And they're supporting Nikki Haley. I got nothing to say about that, except Nikki Haley seems to be the preferred candidate. Right. She's coming. She's starting to be like you're starting to see a lot of ours kind of go like this is the viable alternative for people who want to live in a post-Trump world it's nicky haley but again i
Starting point is 00:58:27 think subconsciously we all kind of want to go back to a trump world we miss the chaos we miss hanging on his every word to hear what he has to say we just want to hear what he has to say what he's going to do we miss the star people even the people on the left, they go, he's good for business. He's good for our articles. He's just, he gets the whole, we're in a Trump, we're in a gossip and Trump economy. Like, he's responsible for the ratings of so many things. It is crazy how there's a turnaround of, like,
Starting point is 00:59:00 black and Latinos who are really fucking with Trump now. Oh, especially blacks. Yo, and, you know, listen, in my, the music I listened to back in the days, they dropped Trump's name a lot. They loved him. Like, yo, moving around the streets like Bob Black Trump,
Starting point is 00:59:11 you know, like. Yeah. And, you know, you got lumps like Trump, like, you know, they always held him in high regards as a moneymaker,
Starting point is 00:59:18 a businessman that stamped his name on everything. They turned people off, but now it's kind of going back. It's fucking odd. Well, I think because Biden, they just,
Starting point is 00:59:27 I don't know what the results they see. Well, he's non-existent, right? Yeah, I don't know if they're seeing any results where Trump was promising results. Trump was funny when he was trying to get the black vote. He's like,
Starting point is 00:59:36 what do you got to lose, black people? What do you got to lose? What do you got to lose? Roll the dice. You voted with them all this time. You got nothing. What do you got to lose? What do you got to lose? I mean, so yeah, blacks for Trump are getting bigger and a lot of,
Starting point is 00:59:48 a lot of blacks are, Biden is in trouble. That was another article that came out this week that black support for Trump is growing and Biden is in trouble with the, with the black vote. So yeah, I mean, this is the Washington post. So Trump hits new poll highs with black and Hispanic voters. So there you have it. Oh, I think it's a little bit of that thing of people going. Don't tell anyone I told you, but just make it all go away. If anyone asks somebody, it wasn't me who said it but yeah that'll sound great sergio chicone the great sergio chicone was with us today this was a very fun episode i think that
Starting point is 01:00:35 is also another dope shirt that i noticed while we were filming this i don't know where you get your shirts but that is a dope roberto clemente The great Roberto Clemente, the great Pittsburgh Pirate who tragically died. Back then, like, athletes just died all the time in plane crashes, and so did artists. Yeah, I feel like he died in the same style plane that La Bamba died. La Bamba and... What was his name, Richie Valentine?
Starting point is 01:00:57 Richie Valentine, La Bamba, and also Thurman Munson. Yeah, there's a lot of people. He was a Yankee catcher, a great Yankee catcher died. People just died on planes. I was once on a small plane like that and I was like,
Starting point is 01:01:09 what a stupid way to die because I'm just doing a stupid show in the Bahamas. I got to go to Springfield, Missouri. I got to take a connecting. I don't want to die going to Springfield. If I'm going to die, I want to die going to Phoenix.
Starting point is 01:01:20 I love Phoenix. Phoenix is popping. Phoenix is thriving. It's thriving. It's poppin'. But there's no water. They Phoenix is thriving. It's thriving. It's stimulating. It's popping, but there's no water. They have no water. That's the thing.
Starting point is 01:01:35 We met a guy with an 8-pack and super white teeth and gelled hair, and he bought us a steak, and he owned, like, four clubs, and he was hospitable and knew Giannis' comedy, and he was just a great host. Like, I mean, shit. We performed in your city and you buy us a fucking steak. He's like, we offered to pay
Starting point is 01:01:49 and he sniffed out a lot. He said, don't insult me. I love that treatment. It was great. It was great. Everyone seems to have money there. It's thriving. It's thriving.
Starting point is 01:01:57 It's booming. It's a huge boom, but they have no water. And the Colorado River is like running out of water. And it's 120 in the summer. It's 120 in the summer. But like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix just don't have water. And the Colorado River is like running out of water. And it's 120 in the summer. It's 120 in the summer. But like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and
Starting point is 01:02:07 Phoenix just don't have water. So it's like an issue. But it's not an issue you got to deal with today. They don't give a fuck what they drink as alcohol anyway.
