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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
to look at snakes?
Well, the Phoenix
Herpetology Society
offers alligators,
crocodiles,
hila monsters,
lizards, snakes,
and all the above.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
free Momia
who allegedly
killed a cop
right right
in Philly
Momia what's his name
Momia or Bull Jamal
yeah
yeah
I was all about
you know
pro abortion rights
we're walking
like all this shit
right
and I was in it
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
Yeah, during that time.
Got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you were trying
to find yourself.
I was trying to find myself.
You were lost.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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,
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. Yeah, everyone's
drinking alcohol anyway, so it's not a big deal.
