Transcript

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And yeah, I get it. They said, death to Israel, death to America. I don't care. I think they would say that a lot less if we get out of their business. If we leave them the fuck alone, I think they would hear a lot less of death to America. I don't know about death to Israel. I wish Israel the best of luck, but I'm not gonna go fucking fight Iran, you know? Sorry, dude. You started that shit. You better have a plan to finish it on your own. You better not be depending on us.

[Pingtrip]

Okay, guys, we got pingtrip here today. We are in Houston. Thanks for driving over from Austin.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Thanks for having me on, dude.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. You are one of the most interesting accounts I've seen. You've been shouted out by some of the biggest podcasters in the world.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I've been very lucky. You know, it's. I make fun of them and they laugh at it and then they give me, like, props.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And react sometimes. So that's cool because when I first started making them, I thought I might be pissing people off, but everybody has a great sense of humor.

[Pingtrip]

Oh, yeah. So no one ever really popped off at you negatively?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No. That's the only people that ever have a problem. Like, the social media platforms and, like, borderline stupid people who don't watch the whole thing and they watch, like, the first 10 seconds and they go, this is fake. He's trying to make Joe Rogan look bad. It's like, yeah, watch the whole thing. It's clearly a comedy piece, you know, but some people are just stupid, dude. And then they want a virtue signal about, like, how they realize it was fake. Yeah, everybody knows it's fake. That's not the point, you know? But, yeah, no, I've never really had a problem. Everybody's been really cool. Like, pretty much every single person that I've had in my videos has been cool.

[Pingtrip]

Theo's reposted it. Rogan's reposted, I believe.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Yeah. Theo's been cool to me. I've talked. I talk a lot to Theo and Zach is producer. I give them. You know, when I make anything with Theo now, I always. Because they. A lot of times want to post it, so I just give it to them. So, yeah, it's. I don't know, man. It's been crazy because I just. Was it 2017, eight years ago? I just was sitting in my room after getting laid off and trying to figure out what's. What am I going to do next with my life? Oh, let me just around. Because I need A hobby just to fill my time. Let me just around with editing and. Yeah, well, I edited some from a crazy idea I had in. The next thing you know, Joe Rogan's talking about it.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, it took off that quick.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, Joe Rogan. It was 2018. Joe Rogan was already reposting on Instagram.

[Pingtrip]

You hit gold fat.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pingtrip]

I guess no one really was doing that right at the time.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No. A. It's a branch of YouTube poop. Right. So YouTube. YouTube poop's been around for a long time. I don't want to discredit the YouTube poopers.

[Pingtrip]

I remember those days.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

They get pissed off. Like if you, you know, they'd be careful when you talk about the YouTube poop community. But it is kind of like inspired by YouTube poop. But I try to take it to another level of kind of reaching more of like a sketch comedy piece as opposed to just random, like, hey, I'm here, look at my dick. You know, it's like, like, what random thing word can I put in there? You know, which YouTube poop is like, the more random, the funnier. Right. Whereas I tried to make like sketches, you know, like more believable. Yeah. Storyline. Something you feel like you're watching a scene from a movie. And. Yeah, it's just. I don't know, man. I had an idea is all it was. I had an idea and then I made it and then people liked.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, for me, they're so funny. Because I'll watch. I watched the original podcast episode before and then I'll see your stuff after. And I'm like, no, that's actually hilarious because he just didn't say that, you know?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, it's. It's getting very high level now too. Like, the AIs helped me kind of get to a new level. It's not like everybody expects you're just going to go and like type in the prompt, hey, make. Make a funny edit of Joe Rogan. That's like the tools that it's unlocked for me. It's unlocked the ability for me to like search all the transcripts of every Rogan episode, you know, So I didn't know how to code, but I go into fucking chat gbt and I'm like, it gives me a fucking code. I don't even know the fucking names of the apps or the program I should remember them. But I just followed what the hell Chat GPT told me to do. And now I got a little bit browser. I go into where I can search every Joe Rogan episode and find any line that I need to like create a sentence that I need. That's brilliant.

[Pingtrip]

You can even find a word if you need a word.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Exactly. Yeah. I mean this can be weaponized too. Like you're trying to just. If you're trying to cancel Joe Rogan, like him saying the N word 100 times.

[Pingtrip]

I get his fake ads on Tick tock all the time.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. The fake AI stuff. Yeah. I mean this. I don't. They're not very believable yet.

[Pingtrip]

They're getting better.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. It's going to be scary when they're believable.

[Pingtrip]

They're getting better. I think if a low IQ person can believe what's out there right now.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

I'm assuming that's going to get better and better.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I'm not a big fan of like AI generated content. I am very intrigued and a fan of AI as a tool to improve your content.

[Pingtrip]

Same.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

So I've used opus and I've used other. It's not there yet.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

And I'm not impressed at all.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And.

[Pingtrip]

But it helps.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Yeah. There's just a lot of AI generated slop that's just taking up space right now.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And because it's got a hashtag in there, it like gets views.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

From content that's, you know, that should be getting the views. Yeah. But yeah, the algorithm's a whole different thing which I want to ask you, man. I mean you've been interview. That's what I've seen most of your interviews. Nobody's asking you questions. Yeah. We need to do a podcast where it's just you talking about yourself so people know.

I use daily and I take it everywhere I travel. This is the Thera 03 ozone module from Therasoge. It's A portable ozone and negative ion therapy. In one, it boosts oxygen, clears and sanitizes the air, and even helps your mood. It's a total game changer at home or on the go.

It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Who the fuck?

[Pingtrip]

That'd be probably smart. I'm 1500 episodes in and no one knows who I am.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I haven't seen the ball, but I was watching, like, who the fuck is this guy? Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

So many people say that. And it's so funny because we. We're one of the most viewed podcasts, but when I ask people to come on, they're like, yeah, I've seen your stuff, but I don't know who you are.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, you got what, number six or two in education?

[Pingtrip]

It changes every day. Right now it could be anywhere from 2 to 5. Today it's a.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

That's the. I mean, that's. That was impressive.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. On Apple.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And then I see your YouTube views and I'm like, oh, yeah. Of throttling and shadow banning.

[Pingtrip]

All my YouTube is for.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

You interviewed Andrew Tate and you interviewed Nick Fuentes and a lot of other people that will probably get you shadow banned and throttled, but a lot of.

[Pingtrip]

Anti big pharma, which I think it was mainly those at first, and then Tate definitely didn't help.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, it's. It's like a, it's a reason why a lot of people turn them down. Like, you know you're going to get a load of views.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

But then you're going to get punished on the back end for it.

[Pingtrip]

If I were to do what most people do, which is rely on the platforms as a revenue source as their primary income, I would be screwed. I'd be so unprofitable. I'd be living making a couple thousand a month. Like it'd be terrible. Luckily, I found other ways to monetize.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Well, because you also diversify the platforms too, right. You're not just dependent on YouTube. Yeah, great. Needed you can be. Cuz like I've been over by every platform pretty much Facebook the worst. Facebook just totally restricted my monetization. And I've noticed and I've heard other personalities talk about this, but like the more viral you go, the more the likelihood of they're going to come in and have a problem with what you're doing.

[Pingtrip]

I could see that. Because in order to go viral these days, you have to be controversial.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. And that's the thing too. It's like you got to be kind of edgy controversial, especially in comedy like that. So I, I think what happened is I went too viral with me on YouTube because I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. Like I'm not getting recommended at all by YouTube anymore. Yeah, like you probably still are a little bit.

[Pingtrip]

You're probably a little bit. But when I search the guests and then podcast after, I'm usually not on the first page.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah. So you're just. You got a search band too.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I'd love to see one day like all the labels that they're throwing behind this.

[Pingtrip]

I know because Twitter exposed their shot and Elon took over and that was awesome to see. Because I was so shadow banned on Twitter.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I just, I can imagine like this crazy ass blue haired chick just sitting in her office like, well, this is problematic.

[Pingtrip]

Oh wow.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I think we're gonna need to add a sensitive topics category. I think that's how it works. They're like putting labels on that kind of limit your reach or like backseat you.

[Pingtrip]

That's what Facebook did. They got exposed for that. Right?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

Covid stuff, the vaccine stuff.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Well, some of their press conferences too kind of reveal that they're doing that. You know, like the freedom of reach and not freedom of speech. Right. The authoritative sources. Like they've come out basically and said like authoritative sources sound good. Right. But it basically just means if you're a corporation or if you're independent. Right. So authoritative sources get higher ranking and treated better in the algorithm than your average independent creator. Which I think has not just been about news. I think it's been about like the whole entertainment sphere, where really what it's about is about corporation versus independent media. Even if it's comedy, even if it's news, even if it's seems that way. It seems like there's a tiered system because I think like, if you have an agent, you probably have a backdoor way of contacting YouTube.

[Pingtrip]

Oh, yeah, there's. They call them media panels. Yeah, I know those exist.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So isn't that a little weird? You got this tiered system where the independent YouTuber who can get big but no corporation backs them. So like me, I have no access to. Go to YouTube and go, come on, guys, you guys are throwing my channel. What did I do? I made a comedy video. As opposed to a comedian who has an agent who can reach out to YouTube and go, Am I making sense here? Does this seem kind of fucked up?

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, no, it is flawed because a lot of people can't afford that.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, well, I mean, it's not. I mean, no agents offer me a job and do I want to. I mean, I.

[Pingtrip]

Well, they would want money from you.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Is that how it works now?

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. So if you go to caa, you're paying them? They're not paying.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I thought they just signed you up and then got you working and took some of what you made. I guess, I guess if you're like, like big time or some.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, depends on the agent in the situation. But from what I. From what I've seen with my friends, caa, uta, all those wme, you're paying them.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Okay. Yeah. So it's pretty obvious to me that those big agencies have access to YouTube, Facebook panels.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

All the platforms in ways that the average person doesn't have. So like if. If I'm so and so celebrity with a big agency and my channel gets throttled because I said something that triggered the algorithm. You have a way of getting YouTube behind the scenes beyond the normal system we all have of fixing that. Right. So that is, to me, that's not a fair system. We're playing favorites. But I don't know, maybe people think that's okay.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure if you talk about Israel, Iran right now, you'll get censored or something.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Are you ready to go die for Israel, bro? I mean, you're at the age you're Six foot six. I mean, you make a good fucking target, bro.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh, right, you're six foot eight.

[Pingtrip]

It depends on the afros.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Jesus Christ. This guy. I don't know if you can tell. Is that my camera? I don't know if you can tell behind the scenes. This guy is like a giant.

[Pingtrip]

People get shocked when they see me.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

You can kind of tell, like I could kind of tell you were, you were tall, but you don't really realize how tall you are.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

But yeah, the Israel, Iran thing, dude. Yeah. I mean, are you ready for regime change? Are you ready?

[Pingtrip]

I wouldn't fight in that war. I'm literally seeing former veterans talk about how they regret fighting in previous wars.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

Because they were orchestrated.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. My generation, I, I told you how old I am. I'm old. I'm in my 40s. I lived through the Iraq. I fell for the Iraq. We all did. It was after 9. Everyone did. Yeah, yeah, it was after 9, 11. And we were terrified. And the fear mongering works when you have a, an event like that. Right. And eventually it doesn't take long before you realize it's a lot of bullshit. You know, eventually you, you know, Bush became like one of the most hated politicians. Like all of mainstream media was just non stop attacking Bush as the idiot he rightfully was. I don't think he was really an idiot. I think he was playing an idiot. I think Bush was a lot smarter than people realize. But yeah, so it's the same playbook they're using right now. The same exact playbook. And it's just now it's nukes instead of weapons of mass destruction and it's what the neocons have always wanted to do. The neocons? Yeah. I don't know if you're old enough, but you remember the, the access of evil, when was I might be getting the top dollars, but I remember them calling them the axis of evil. And if I remember right, it was Iran, North Korea and Russia. Right. So this has been in the, the plans for a long time to get Iran. And a lot of people think this was their ultimate goal really was to get Iran and then Russia. It's the ultimate prize. So this is the neocon empire building spread democracy, Christianity that, you know, we already rejected 10 years ago when Obama got elected. So yeah, it's, it's just sad to see people falling for it, you know. And then you can see Netanyahu, you know, Guy Blazom, like, I'm sure he's a Good guy. And this is the thing, you can't even criticize this. If you criticize this, you're now an anti Semite. Right. Like, I could give, I'm not someone who even talks or gives a about Israel. Like I could, I could give a. If Israel wanted to go in and blow up, like to me, they had all the leeway after October 7th to just go in there and just do whatever the it wanted with Gaza. I would give a shit. I know some people would care, but I wouldn't give a. I don't understand. But now you're talking about dragging America into a war with Iran, a country of 90 million, trying to get us back into a situation that we just got away from, which is because this is not going to be a. You know, people think, oh, Trump's just going to go under now. This is. If we get involved with this and, you know, we want to actually do regime change, this is going to be a long term thing and it's just not works. Like, name one time it's worked. You just, you remove the stability from.

[Therasage Advertiser]

I hope you guys are enjoying the show. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. It helps the show a lot with the algorithm. Thank you.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

In the region, you end up with somebody most of the time who's worse, is more radical and they get more desperate, you know, I don't know, man.

[Pingtrip]

Time and time again, man. I mean, I watched the Sean Ryan show. You've probably seen that one, right?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I've heard of it, but I don't watch it.

[Pingtrip]

Former CIA guy, former military, and he talks about every war that's happened in the past 20 years, how they were all orchestrated, basically.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, it's crazy. They've all been a complete waste of time and have sold out the future of our, of our country. Because I don't know if you, I mean, it'd be nice if you had a Jamie here pull up, like, how much did you spend on Iraq and Afghanistan? Like, how much did we spend? Like, that's money that's out of the future of like the citizens of this country. That's money that could have spent, been spent in America. It's money that could have not been spent. And you know, maybe our deficit wouldn't be so bad right now. And there's just no point in it, man. It's not our job to go around deciding what other countries should do. Yeah, if they're attacking us, we should just wipe them off the face of the earth. You know, they, they, if we have to Go to war, we destroy them. Otherwise we let, let live, man. Let Iran. And then the idea that like, well, why would Iran want a nuke? Well, look, look what happened when North Korea got a nuke.

[Pingtrip]

You hear everybody messing with them.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. All of a sudden we don't hear about North Korea. So why the, why wouldn't Iran not want to get a nuke? Like that's the way to guarantee some country isn't going to come with you.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And yeah, I get it. They said death to Israel, death to America. I don't care. I think they would say that a lot less if we get out of their business. If we'd leave them the fuck alone. I think they would hear a lot less of death to America. I don't know about death to Israel. I wish Israel the best of luck, but I'm not going to go fucking fight Iran, you know, sorry, dude, you started that shit. You better have a plan to finish it on your own. You better not be depending on us. But, you know, if they do get whipped or some shit, I guess we're going to. There's no way we wouldn't go in and sudden have to fucking say them, you know.

[Pingtrip]

Did you see the Tucker Ted Cruz?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, I watched that. I reacted it on, I did a live stream reacting to it. It's, it's embarrassing. Ted Cruz has always been a neocon. He tries to pretend like he's not a neocon, tries to pretend like he's, he's maga. But there's a, that's a big problem is a lot of these people got smart. You know, the Ben Shapiro's, the Ted Cruz's, they realized how powerful the MAGA movement was and there was no reason because remember, they were anti Trump. They were, they were never Trumpers at the beginning.

[Pingtrip]

Yep.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And Trump's not perfect. Trump's, you know, there's so much wrong with Trump, you know, but he's not Kamala. So anyway, yeah, they're always just so many neocons that are hiding under the MAGA movement. And it's very clear now. They, they want, they've always wanted war. They would just want to read, they just want to jump right back to the plan that they were, they were going to do under Bush. But you know, they lost the political capital to do it because they lost and Obama took over and then Trump took over. And now that it seems like. I don't know, man, I don't know if Trump's gonna just. This was always my biggest concern with Trump is Like, I hate the Republican neocons, but I was like, I'm willing to take a chance because he went after him so hard, but now it looks like he might listen to him. That concerns me. But I think the last thing he said was like, he's gonna give it another two weeks, right?

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So maybe he, if I was to give him the benefit, benefit of the doubt, maybe he's just playing hardball. And I think he's playing a little too much hardball on X and shit. But behind the scenes, he's really working for peace because that's like, what pisses me off is it doesn't seem like anybody's escalating, you know, And Israel will have their excuses like, hey, we had to do this, they're going to have a nuke, we're preventing them to get a nuke and blah, blah, blah. It's like, dude, you just escalated this to where it might be a full blown war. Now your citizens are, the citizens of Iran are fucking dealing with bombs. You know, it's like, it's never worth it to go to war. That's like last resort, dude. Last resort. And it seems like they didn't wait till last resort to decide to just shoot messes over, you know? I don't know, man. I don't know. It's tough. It's tough.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. It must be tough to be in Trump's shoes. We could only, I guess, imagine that decision, that decision for him. He's probably got so many people in his ears on both sides.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I think he's listening to too many neocons. Yeah, I think he's got to go back to listening to the Steve Bannons.

[Pingtrip]

He just met with him.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Did he ban it?

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, they had a little sit down yesterday.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I like Steve. You know, I don't agree with him on everything, but, you know, America first is, I mean, you can just look at Trump's old tweets when he talks about Iran. It says it all. Yeah, look at his old tweets. I don't know if you got an editor to pull that up and just pull up how different the he's saying now compared to, you know, I missed.

[Pingtrip]

The old Trump tweets, bro. I used to look forward to waking up and seeing those. Yeah, they don't hit the same anymore.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

When you're president, man, it's, it's, it's such a different game.

[Pingtrip]

No, I'm saying even when he was president and tweeting, like in his first term, his tweets used to like be interested.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's getting old.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, that's true. It has been.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And the he said about Tucker, it shows me he's a little out of touch too, because he was like, we'll have him get a job on the, on the. What did he say? Get a job on the news channel so people hear what he has to say. Like basically denigrating like independent media and just shows me he's out of touch because that's, that's. Nobody gives a. About mainstream media.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, Tucker was the wrong one to go after. Yeah, he's got a really loyal following.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, he's right. He's absolutely right. Like, they want to make it about anti Semitism and they're all. This is like, no, we just don't want to go to war.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Like I, I wish the best of Israel. Like I, if, if I was to pick a side, I have more in common with Israel than Iran. I don't want war for either country, but I think I would have to. But yeah, I think I'd rather Israel win, but I don't want to go to war. Like, we've, we've. You're going to make the same mistake Israel that we've made before, which is, you know, we went through a terrorist attack and then we went and overstretched and like, it just was not good for our country in the long. We overreacted and it seems like they're doing the same damn thing, you know.

[Pingtrip]

And I mean, look at the generational sect from 9 11.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

I mean, that impacted generations of families.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. I had friends. I had one friend who was like, he wasn't even there and he had PTSD just from watching it on tv. He was like, every time I see a plane, I get terrified and I'm crazy. It didn't affect me like that, you know, it was sad. But yeah, PTSD I didn't have.

[Pingtrip]

I was too young.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I was, I was sleeping when it happened.

[Pingtrip]

Oh, really? I was four years old, so I don't remember it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I Woke up at 2pm I was up playing Counter Strike all night. They were bossing. I woke up at 2pm and my dad was like, we gotta see what the going on. So. Yeah, yeah. Maybe that's why I was sleeping through it. Maybe if I saw it live, I would have ptsd.

[Pingtrip]

What are you playing these days? Counter Strike stuff?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I play a little Counter Strike too, man. It's just, you know, it's one of those games you have to like, really put in time to not suck, bro. Those.

[Pingtrip]

They've been playing the same game for 20 years.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh yeah. I mean, I started. I was. I was. I don't. I just won't mean anything to you because you're too young. But I was Cal invite. This might mean something to people who played Counter Strike back in the day. Got 1.6 and you know the original. But yeah, Cowan vibe was like the pro level, like of. Of the scene at that time locally in America. And yeah, that was my life in my early 20s.

[Pingtrip]

So you were nasty.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, well, yeah, it's all I did was. But it took over my life in my early 20s. I fell in love with that game. I was up doing telecommunication work in Redmond, Washington, and there was a. A lan. Remember those? They used to have little heard of.

[Pingtrip]

The word land, but I've never used it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Little. Little stores where there are computers like anybo pay $2 an hour or whatever and they got all the games loaded on the computer. You could play against people there. There's like an Internet cafe. Got it right. You pay to. To use their computers and everybody's playing Counter Strike. And I just fell in love with the game. I suck so bad. My Every minute I wasn't at work, I was at that land center just playing that game. Then I finally got my own computer and I was just obsessed with the game, man. It was. It was. It was like sometimes something. Maybe I'm a little autistic or something, I don't know. But like, I couldn't put it down.

[Pingtrip]

The best video game players are autistic.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I couldn't put it down for like four years.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, there's no debate about that.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I was on a team called Team super and they kept winning Cal Premier. And then the last couple of seasons I came along. Cal Premier was the league before. And then we won. CPL winner 2004. We beat a cow invite team on a land like it was the biggest tournament of the year or the second biggest. CPL summer was the biggest, I think at the time. So. Yeah. Anyway, that's boring.

[Pingtrip]

But yeah, no, I nerd out on stuff like that. I play Fortnite right now.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

You play Fortnite? I never played Fortnite. I don't like. I don't like the kitty color shit, man. I like the realism.

[Pingtrip]

Damn, I'm a sweat in Fortnite.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I don't like the cartoon.

[Pingtrip]

You're old school.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

So you like Call of Duty?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No, Call of Duty. I've played it on console, but I. I Don't. I definitely hate the fuck out of it now because they have that auto aim on the controller and it's just.

[Pingtrip]

Like I hate that the crossplay with Xbox. They don't miss their shots.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Like they want all the women like to feel good and they're like oh, I killed somebody. It's like, no, the game fucking aim you. It realizes you suck at the game and now it's aiming for you. So you can have a little bit of fun and not quit right away.

[Pingtrip]

I don't know if COD does this and Counter Strike, but in Fortnite there's a third of the lobbies are AI. So like say you have 100 players in your game, at least 33 are AI and they're terrible at the game. So.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So because they don't have enough to fill it out or just.

[Pingtrip]

They have enough but they just want you to feel good.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Okay.

[Pingtrip]

They want you to get kills.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Gotcha. So they just have some shitty like NPCs that you can kill but they're God awful.

[Pingtrip]

Like you could tell right away they're NPCs.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So they don't. Yeah, yeah. I mean sometimes you, I guess you program that. Program them that way on purpose because I've seen some NPCs that are harder to kill.

[Pingtrip]

Really.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Like Counter Strike. There's some. I don't know if it was back in the day, I forgot what it was. But I've played these computer robots that will just shoot you the moment they see you.

[Pingtrip]

Damn. Just instantly reminds me of Combat Arms. I used to play Combat Arms.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, which one's that?

[Pingtrip]

It was Nexon. Have you heard of them? Asian company, they made Maplestory.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No, I've never heard of that name.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, they're more niche. Yeah, I used to be a big nerd. Runescape and all that.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I quit a lot of gaming for a long time. I got too busy with my career.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, now it's more of like a de stressor.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. It's like I don't want to watch television.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I want to occupy my.

[Pingtrip]

I don't want to get programmed. I wanna.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, it's good man. You know my dad's getting really old and I wish I tried to get him on video Games like 20 years ago because it's just great exercise for your brain. Yeah, it gets a bad rap but I think good quality games that where you have to learn them. Like that's exercising that part of your brain, the learning part of your brain and it's like very good long term for people.

[Pingtrip]

I agree. I attribute a lot of my mental fortitude to video games. That's how the team building ones.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

That's how I got my first job. Basically. My. Well, not my first job. Sorry. That's how I got my best job when I was in my. Like I'm putting it terribly. I became a field engineer in telecommunications basically because I was so good at computers and everything was computers and I was so good at computers because of counter strength and everybody else is like old fogies. I didn't know about the fighters. Like they would get a laptop and like pretend like they didn't know how to turn it on or.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Or that they didn't know how to turn it on. That's sad.

[Pingtrip]

Being in Houston, I gotta, being in Texas, I gotta ask about the THC ban.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh, I do. I was gonna bring some, some of the edibles, but I was like, is it banned today or is it. I think it's up till September, right?

[Pingtrip]

Holy crap. I don't know. I didn't. I just heard about it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Is there any man. I could look it up on my phone, but I should have looked earlier. Today's the day. He's got. I think he's got a. Veto it today. If he doesn't veto it today, it will go through.

[Pingtrip]

Crazy.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So you can either veto it, sign it, sign it, it goes through, or not veto. It goes through either way. So the only way it doesn't go through is if he vetoes it today. And that at this time it's like what, three o' clock, Friday?

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I haven't heard anything, but I haven't been looking.

[Pingtrip]

It's such a money maker for the state. I don't understand why they wouldn't allow it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh, because the three licensed companies that provide medical marijuana that are licensed by the state for the Teacup program, they're going out of business because nobody's using the Teacup program. When you can go down the street and get the same shit for cheaper and you don't got to go to a doctor, get a prescription, pay more and it's weaker.

[Pingtrip]

Got it.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So, yeah, the three licensed companies who are licensed by the state of Texas, they're probably. I don't know for sure, but they're probably lobbying somebody to shut this down before they completely go bankrupt because nobody's using their program. And maybe they're just mad because nobody's using their program. No one gives a about their stupid Teacup program, by the way. It's a dumb name Yeah, I never call something teacup. It's like you're making fun of potheads. Oh, you need some weed for the pain, you little teacup.

[Pingtrip]

I wonder who thought of that name.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Oh, yeah, a dumbass neocon republic who thinks weed is, like, the devil's lettuce. You know, watch too many. He's, like, sits there watching. What's. What's the one where. Where the guy goes crazy and, like, starts killing people with an ax? Reefer Madness. You know, watching reefer madness on repeat every night. Yeah, I think with one of these guys, I think one of their kids might have got too high because, look, there is the edibles. You got to be careful.

[Pingtrip]

I got some bad edible stories, dude.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I got some, too, but that's, you know, all part of the journey.

[Pingtrip]

That's on me, though, because I got. I got cocky, and I ate more than I should have.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

But see, if they would just legalize regular weed and then just regulate it properly, it wouldn't be that much of a problem. And people like to talk about, like, thca. Like, the. That is legal here. It worked great. It works really good. It's not as strong as the regular, they say, but some of these edibles will. I should have brought it out and gave you an edible. You could. You could try one.

[Pingtrip]

Would have been a fun planner at home.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, yeah, it's. You got to make sure you don't take too much. That's the key with edibles. Always kind of test it out small, let it ride, and then come back tomorrow. If that wasn't enough, try again. Like, what people always do is they get a little ballsy. And. Yeah, I. I get the. When I do it, it's too much. I get the sweats and the shakes, bro. The heart racing. And I've never pounded, never gone to the hospital, though.

[Pingtrip]

I have.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

See, that's. That's where you're a bit.

[Pingtrip]

Not even from an edible. No, no, I had to, bro.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Let's talk about from an edible. From weed, because they'll milk. I think you're gonna die, but you're not.

[Pingtrip]

I agree with you on that, but I was also having Xanax withdrawal.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Okay.

[Pingtrip]

And I just happened to be high.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

So it wasn't just from weed, but. No, I definitely agree with you.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No, because it may. I. You know, if I didn't know better and maybe if I. I don't know how I was able to not go to the house, because most people, like, they. You feel like you're gonna die, your heart's racing. You're sweating. You're hot and cold at the same time. You might even start shivering a little bit. It's weird. And so they'll go to the doctor and then they go. So that's been kind of part of their argument as to why they want to make it illegal. Like more doctors visits. And it's causing heart problems. And it's like, no, it's just people that took too much and they just need to go drink some. Here's what you do. I've learned. I've learned after having it happen enough time, I've learned to embrace it and how to get rid of it. Have some chamomile tea ready to go. If you. If you fuck with edibles, just have a supply of chamomile tea. Drink that chamomile tea. It will calm you down. It'll help you calm down and keep yourself busy. Don't just sit there, you know, Go play a video game. Go. Go do some chores. You know, Keep your mind active. Dude. 100. You'll be fine.

[Pingtrip]

When you're just sitting there. You're your worst enemy.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Sometimes because it makes you feel real sleepy. So you'll go lay down. And that's the worst thing you could do. The worst thing you can do is lay down. Do not lay down.

[Pingtrip]

And you start hearing everything.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

It was not hearing anything. It's like your heart. You feel your heart more. And like now it's just. You're just in your own head. You got to get out of your own head. And chamomile tea. Also breathing exercises. You can slow your heart rate down by inhaling. There you go. And then when you exhale, you kind of pucker your. Your mouth and grit you slowly. So the exhale has got to be like, longer than the inhale.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And just keep doing that method. Next thing you know, you're yawning. It's also good for falling asleep.

[Pingtrip]

Damn. Look at you with these methods.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I know a lot, dude.

[Pingtrip]

Let's go. That's an important hack because I've had some terrible edible experiences.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Dude, you don't understand the amount of. I know, bro.

[Pingtrip]

Are you on the D web? Just researching.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No. So there's like a lot of drugs right now. I'm on creatine. Caffeine.

[Pingtrip]

I'm on creatine. Is that even a drug, though?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

It's gotta be a drug. Yeah. Edibles. I'm on some edibles as well.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, Well, I love me some creatine. I just started that one last month.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I Just I don't ever take it. And then my producer, Jimmy, I was tired as. Dude, I didn't get. I didn't get a good night's sleep, you know. And then the drive over here is like, you just. You know how it is in the car, sitting there for three hours. So, yeah, he was like kind of to take some creatine. So I'm all right, we'll see. I still feel tired as. And then he's like, all right, well, let's go get a shot. I'm all right, we'll get a shot. No, that's. That didn't help. Now I'm even more tired now I'm a little drunk. Jimmy. Thank you. Oh, an all nighter. Not an all night. I got like three or four hours of sleep. Sorry. So I've been doing live streams at like 9pm I was covering the riots.

[Pingtrip]

You know, all the ice stuff.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

It was like nine hour live streams. So I've been. My schedule's been getting late. Like, you know, you're not. I had to wake up early today to get all taken care of to get out of here. So. Yeah, it's just. I'm getting old. So it's harder to flip my schedule around like that.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Where like if I'm used to waking up at like 12 or 1 and then now I gotta wake up at 8, I'm such a. At this age that, that I feel jet lagged all day.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Because I. You know what I'm saying? I said I'm a. I'm an old. This. Look, you think this won't happen to you? It will happen to you.

[Pingtrip]

Father Time.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

You will get old.

[Pingtrip]

Father Time sitting down here.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

20 those boomer. I'm not a boomer. I'm a millennial. But I'm still old and I get tired, dude.

[Pingtrip]

It's crazy. In college I would sleep three hours and feel fine.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I used to do that too. I used to stay up for crazy amount of hours and you know, but there's a point where you get old and like, you're gonna kill yourself doing that. Yeah, you can, you can feel that you're gonna kill yourself doing that. Like, it's just. Yeah.

[Pingtrip]

What's the next big focus project for you? What's. What's the main focus, I guess for the rest of this year?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Well, I've been doing a lot of live streams, talking about a lot of. And yeah, that's basically YouTube. Yeah, I do YouTube sometimes. I've done them on Twitter, but yeah, I do them on YouTube on my channel, I Pink Trip, and I have Pink Trip too. I'm gonna start putting, like, more of my podcast format. You know, if I did an interview with Matt McCusker and Ari Shafir.

[Pingtrip]

Nice.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

So I'm gonna try to build that up over on the second channel. But yeah, I do live streams on the first one and I enjoy them, man. Like, it is stressful because I do them mostly by myself. You know, I'm, you know, reacts. Content, whatever the. I'm interested in talking about. If, you know, like, I react to, like the riots. I watch that live, pulling up all the 20 different live streams, going on travels, you know, so just whatever, whatever's interesting to me at that time. And yeah, I still will make some super cuts, but it's hard to make them because YouTube is deemed them something or another. I don't know what YouTube, what the algorithm is doing with them. I might be. I mean, it's a long story or I have to piece together. Like, I remember 2020 when they really blew up. There was like a period there. Like, I had three in a row that were like a million views. And then I turned around and all those were. All three of those were demonetized.

[Pingtrip]

Wow.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

And I. That, that was me reaching that next level. And then after those three were demonetized, it was a struggle, right. I wasn't getting close to that anymore. 2023 started building again. I released probably what was one of my most popular ones, which was the David Goggins bullies, Stavros Alkius for being too fat. That was going insane. It was the most views I saw in an hour. Like, the hourly views, right? It was going to be a million in like, no time. They came in age restricted. It demonetized, obviously, if it's age restricted. And ever since then, it's been like, it's just not the same behavior, you know, crazy. And it's.

[Pingtrip]

It'd be nice to at least know why.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I, I mean, I could theorize, you know, I can put myself in their shoes and go, okay, well, the one with Stavros Halkius and David Goggins, they try to say that was sexual content, sexually gratifying content. So, you know, I, I, what can I say to that? Like, it's just words. There's no sexually gratifying content in there. It's just a joke.

[Pingtrip]

Crazy. So you got to pivot to the.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

I mean, at least, at least maybe name it, say it was hate speech or something, because that. Then I would go, okay, you're Just crazy left, bullying. Yeah, yeah. I mean, okay, you just. But at the end of the day, it's like by their own logic, by their own community guidelines, there should not be a problem, but there always is, you know, so maybe they got those labels, sexually explicit content, adult content, not safe for advertisers. You know what I mean? Who knows, dude? But yeah, you just see your recommendations just disappear and then people look at you when you tell them that, like you're just making excuses like, oh, you suck. I'm like, have you seen my videos lately? They're all still really good.

[Pingtrip]

I fell off.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah, I like like the, the greatest video I ever made, I put out last month.

[Pingtrip]

Like, was that the Ovana?

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

No, that wasn't the Theo von 1. That was Joe Rogan keeps scaring his female guests with. It's Kim Congdon and Sarah Weinshink. And it was the great. I mean, like it just worked so well and I was able to use AI for the special effects. I mean, you'd have to watch it. It's hard to explain. It's my best work yet. Like, the quality is as good as ever. Right. And none of the analytics have changed. It's not. I mean, they forget that we can see. Yeah, look, we can see the click through rate. We can see the average view direct. We can see if the audience doesn't want to watch this, if the audience isn't interested. So that's the other thing, you know, like we're coming from a. And some people are lying. But for me, I'm coming from a place of like, I'm coming with evidence. I, I see this is happening. This is not me just being mad because my views are low.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

This is me going. This is. Obviously something's happening here.

[Pingtrip]

No, you're actually shadow banned with proof. Yeah.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

Yeah. Well, shadow ban is not even the right term because I don't think it's a shadow band because I think if you search my name, you'll me. It's just not. It's just not recommended. Right. I. I think a throttle is the more proper term. Throttle. Right. So I think what they stopped doing was they stopped just demonetizing people unless they really had to. And they just decided, okay, well, we're not going to demonetize this, but we don't think this is good for like a large. We think this is niche. This is like this or that. So we're just going to give you a little bit of recommended. We're not going to. We wanted to stay down here, right? Because if it gets over here, then it becomes a problem. And then that's when I get age restricted and demonetized. So it's almost like, yeah, we'll stop age restricting you and demonetizing you, but you're not going to get any views. Yeah, I don't know, man.

[Pingtrip]

Tough spot to be in. I can see why you're live streaming now, though.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

We're all in the dark.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah, we're.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

You know, this is why I think social media needs to be made into a utility, that the algorithms need to be made transparent and there needs to be regulations on how the algorithms are done. This should be very simple. You know, if you think about it like how an algorithm should work, should be simple as. Because very few. I mean, four or five metrics you measure, you know, and then you got all the data on everybody. You can figure out what people like and don't like and just give people what they want.

[Pingtrip]

Absolutely.

[Unknown Comedian/Content Creator]

It's not right. It's not rocket science.

[Pingtrip]

Yeah. Well, Pink Trip, where can people find you and watch your live streams?
