Transcript

[A]

Oh, okay. Walk up, woke up. Welcome. What's up? Damn, dude. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Dope As Usual podcast. My name is Thomas Dope as yolo. Whatever you want to call me. It's my co host, Marty o'. Neill.

[B]

What's up, guys?

[A]

Sup? Sorry, I'm in that mode of like, I'm awake. My eyes feel like this. I don't know why. I've been dabbing all weekend. Hi. Hello. Hello. Hi. How are you guys doing? This is our first time trying to film in what Raw, guys.

[B]

This is our first time ever filming in a flat picture profile. You're looking at log footage, which means for our videographers out there. Well, let me. Let me go to the. Let me go to ours for all our videographers out there. I always just film straight out of camera. How it looks is what you get when you film log. You're preserving greater detail in the footage, but it looks all flat and weird while you're filming it. You have to color grade it afterwards. You have to know what you're doing. But all cooler. Hopefully you guys let us know. Do we look any different?

[A]

I'm all white.

[B]

I'm tan as.

[A]

How do we look? Is just done. It turns off. Sup? So yeah, we're filming the first time like that. We're trying it. Damn, you are pasty white in the.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it gets no pastier than me on some. On some log footage guys.

[A]

I'm starting to call people that. That looks log. Like you look sick. You look like you're in log. I like that when black guys are like kind of white and pale like that. That's a black. That's a log black guy. Yeah, like he's like light skinned. Like Steph Curry in. He's in log.

[B]

That's log three over there.

[A]

That's my new. Thank you. I got something new. I'm going to say that on stage and one guy's going to go, yeah, one dude, one video, one guy dies. Oh, okay. Woke up, woke up. Welcome. What's up? Damn, dude. Okay. This entire weekend I have just been completely high, wrecked, dabbed out the whole time. So that's. That's what's going on.

[B]

Oh, update. Sorry, guys. Between us, April is a dabber now.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Dabbing heroin too.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, we only. We only dab heroin, but still technically dabbing.

[A]

There we go. Marty's going for that Jesse Pinkman look. Yeah, yeah. He wants that, right? That, that when you put your neck up and you see like the lines on the esophagus. I know that's what fools are on opiates.

[B]

That's how my pets lay around the house all day.

[A]

And I just like family. Upper middle class family.

[B]

That's what they got, the Jesse Pinkman license.

[A]

They're all just heroin down all the time on the couch. Cat hip with AC in a pool. Yeah, being a cat in Orange county is cool, man.

[B]

Oh, did you hear about the wild chick going on Orange county right now? It was sketchy driving up here.

[A]

So apparently in Garden Grove, there's a gas leak. And the gas leak, the guy's like, we have two options. Either it blows up or you die. Like, nah. What else is going on that you guys need to town evacuated?

[B]

It's an aerospace company, so. All right, that's already. That's confusing everybody not knowing what that even means. Why are you guys having these chemicals at an Arrow aerospace company? But they put up like, I didn't even know about this. Josh from Depp told me about this. I should have got a text or something.

[A]

Yeah, you live right there.

[B]

I. I'm like, what do you. What do you mean, am I evacuating? I thought there was a fire or something. But like, this is in. In north Orange county, but still there's a blast zone. They got a, A graph of the blast zone. They're like, okay, there's nothing we can do except try to cool it down, but that's not going to work. So it's either going to explode or spill all over the place. Chemicals.

[A]

I don't trust it.

[B]

Yeah, it's definitely a weird thing where they evacuated the whole town.

[A]

The guy's going, the cops are going up and down the street. Evacuate immediately. What about you? You're not gonna blow up. You couldn't just do that through text message. You don't really have to be on the street.

[B]

A drone.

[A]

What is happening to where you. Because, wait, ready? I'm a principal and I'm a drug trafficker. And I'm like, yo, all my drug traffic guys are coming today at 2 o'. Clock. Evacuate this school right now. There's a gas leak. Everybody get the out now.

[B]

This is, this is some Gus Fring Breaking Bad for real.

[A]

Like, if I. If a principal of a school, if a guy that runs the Walmart can get everybody out of the Walmart and get the cops and make everybody get out, what is the government going to do? Like, hey, there's a big UFO that is landed right in the water by Garden Grove. We need an evacuation right now so we can get it out of the water. Why not? That's what I would do. It's my land. I'm the government. You listen to me. I know what's really going on when you die. You don't know what's going on when you die. I shoot you. You pop up in another body. You restart. Oh, you respawn. That's what really happens. You respond in a baby go, I'm in India. It's gonna be uphill battle on this one. But then they go, reset. Flashy thing for Men in Black. You don't remember. So you don't remember your bank account money's at. You don't remember your family, they go help you out. Nothing. And that's what past lives are. When you have dreams, you go, ah, I had it way better than the last one. Damn.

[B]

India is all about reincarnation and then like Buddhism and too, right? So, damn it,

[A]

there it is. India's just full of World War II Germans like you guys. You guys did terrible things. You're going back. If you can make it out, you can make it out, dude. But you're going to live on trash. Rivers of trash. I'm just kidding. Sorry, India, you're not watching anyway. But still. Hey, watch us. That'd be cool.

[B]

Billion Avi's definitely watching this. But he. I'm pretty sure he lives in the nice part.

[A]

I was the man and I always talk about that because it's like the only third world country where it's like your third world is just. It's cause it's dirty. Clean that shit up, dog. Come on, man. Pretend you got people coming over and clean up your house.

[B]

You can say this. We could say the same shit to la, and hopefully these do.

[A]

No, no. There's parts of LA where people go, hey, I live on the ground. Trash everywhere else is not that bad.

[B]

It's true.

[A]

Yeah, it's not as bad because, like,

[B]

I've been chilling out in Malibu recently. It's pretty vibey out there. Come on.

[A]

I've been chilling out the nicest place in America lately. Half of it's burned down because the government said, hey, fires going on, dude. Like, we need to get you out of here. All reality. Like, the Olympics are coming and we want this beachfront property without having to pay you. So we're going to take all this and we're going to build gazebos for all the. Watch. Watch. You think I'm wrong? No conspiracy theories with just common sense. Is What I'm into. Like, that's what I would do. Yep, done. And what's happening? Everything. I'm just going to leave it at that. Evan Newson. That's what I'll say. All right. I'm not even the politics. That guy, he looks like the Statue of Liberty. He looks like a loser. I don't like that guy. He's weird. I know nothing about the Spencer Pratt guy. And I'm already down. I just saw him with a stencil having people go around LA and stencil with power washer spray his name into the street. And the reason it's showing, because his streets are so filthy and there's so much piss and that when he sprays it shows his name and it says, if these streets were clean, this wouldn't happen. This motherfucker's smart, man. He's getting. Remember the other day? I'm like, yo, Phil, potholes. Domino's did it. They sprayed their logo on every pothole, said thank you or you're welcome from Domino's. That's what he's doing. I will support anybody making it better. That's it. I'm not. Like I said, I'm not an apologist, but our. Our mayor's a. Is an idiot. She's a. And I think she doesn't really have anything controls. They're just like. You're the face. Okay? You're gonna take the grunt of all the. Because nobody's gonna like you because you're. And I'll call her that and I don't care. She's dope. She's la. Burned down. So they burned to the floor.

[B]

Insane. I remember looking at the TV like, they're just gonna let it burn.

[A]

And everybody's like, they didn't let it burn. My homies in the national guard, he and 16 other National Guard Guardsmen in trucks. They all had their own trucks. He's a firefighter. Tried to come down from Sonoma county. And they got turned away in. In Bakersfield because LA said, we don't need the help. We got it. Even though they on TV saying, we need all the help we can get. We're on fire. My homies got turned away and had to drive back to Sonoma county. Was it like 50 fire trucks from Oregon tried to come down. They all got turned away. What does that say? Let this place burn. We don't need your help. Shut up. Stop. Stop offering help. Shut up. It's like when someone. You don't want to spend the night, you have your homie spend the night. And your other homies say almost for the night too. And your homie's like, yeah, you should, but you don't want him to. And you're like, hey, the house is actually on fire, dude. We got it under control though. But you can take off, man. Like wait, what are you talking about? Do not want me here. That's what LA did. And it is what it is. I can't stop it. I'm not a contractor.

[B]

Speaking of fire, this lemon.

[A]

Speaking of fire. Oh, shout out to Paso and Phil, cannabis brothers. They're in now in was random. They're now in Israel legally their weed brand. And they are, I'm not gonna say numbers. They are crushing in the first month. No, no, disgustingly crushing in the first month. I'll say this, all those Israelis are over there high off Mexicans weed. Pretty cool.

[B]

No, interesting.

[A]

Pretty cool.

[B]

I've never heard anything like that happening before.

[A]

And I asked him, you're going to go visit, I don't know, put you to work. Dude, there's fields out there.

[B]

I mean if you could do that without going there.

[A]

Yeah, they do to us without coming here, right? All right, that's a good one you guys. That was a good one for on political topics. That was good little weatherman. Here we go.

[B]

What you got there,

[A]

Z3 Fugazi and Ah Skywalker OG. Okay, what's been going on with you guys? Guys, I'm do a little recap. Okay, what's been going on in the past week? I started filming all content, micro content. I have about 700 clips in my phone. I've been filming just clip, clip. Took me three hours Marty to transfer all my clips from my phone to my computer last night the airdrop. I gotta find a faster way.

[B]

You plug a hard drive right in the usbc.

[A]

A hard drive?

[B]

Yeah, you plug it right in. They have a magnet on the back.

[A]

I'll try that. Today I started filming myself again. I did just did two vlogs, solo filming, POV filming, old school filming. And it feels awesome. It's so sick. So I've been doing a lot of that lately. What's been going on guys? Last week. Last week was very eventful. Let's talk about it. Okay. I had a lot of filming go down last week. Friday had a bunch of filming, then Saturday. All right, listen, what happened guys? I am fixing my sleep schedule finally. I slept for eight and a half hours the other day.

[B]

Oh, where'd you say that?

[A]

And my body, I think I have sleep apnea. No one's ever seen that. Rosie doesn't say that, but like I said, for eight and a half hours. And it says you had 28 minutes of deep sleep. And Rock was like, it's a heart rate thing. I'm like, oh, man. Okay, so I'll talk about that. Anyway, Friday night, I slept like three hours, maybe. Rosie went to Merced, woke up, slept like three hours, came here immediately, picked up OT hella early at the airport, came here, filmed, chill with OT all day. We dabbed and smoked weed all damn day, basically. And the reason OT was here because Nate Diaz invited him to the fight, right? And he's like, yo, I'll be by myself. Come with me. It's the first time as if he's ever been to the airport by himself. Like, oh, yeah, I guess that's true how you always have a team with you. So I pick his pull up. We do the podcast here, go back to my house. We go chill, go to the fight. I don't really drink that much. Oh, T. Don't drink at all. We both just. We looked at each other like, I'll take a drink. And he's like,

[B]

no, let me.

[A]

Let me. Let me restart this. Marty, you've been to me, with me, to cannabis cups. If you guys been to cannabis cups and see me at a cannabis cup, you know, I have a thousand people trying to take a picture. It just is what it is. It's constant. It's constant. It's awesome. OT Usually has a team. That motherfucker's famous. He has a team. Security, back way entrance. For some reason, they're like, yo, yo, here's a parking lot across the street to the VIP parking lot. I'm like, okay. I go up and park. And I'm like, do we have to walk across the street with everyone through the crowd into the line? Not like on some boozy, on some. This motherfucker's famous. Never getting through this line. He's the only Mexican in this entire town with a cowboy hat on.

[B]

I forget he's famous. I just.

[A]

I. I forget too. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right. All right, I'll wait right here. Take. Do you think everywhere I'm with people, they're always like. I'm like, I'm sorry. Give me a minute. Like, okay, I'll take these 80 pictures real quick. Don't worry. I'll be right back. And be on the other side of him. Like, oh, this takes forever. This. This is strenuous. Almost like there's. And I'm sitting there, like, trying to keep an eye, like, because there's no security, so nothing. I know it's not like I'm on a security guard, but I'm, like, just keeping an eye on, like, plotting or doing weird. Even though I'm just high as I'm like, I'm looking around like, we're good, right?

[B]

We're good.

[A]

Because we're going back to my car if we're getting robbed. If you're getting robbed, I'm getting robbed. You know, like, we're together. It's just me and you in a car. So we get out of the car. I'm like, are you ready? Oh, this is gonna suck. Go down. And it's just instant bombarding, which is fine. He's really good at, like, go walk with me. He's good at that. I'm not good at that. Welcome. Take a picture. He's good. Overturning, overturning, overturning. We get in, and I'm like, oh, no. I'm kind of walking with my shoulder in front of him a little bit, just to block any other. I'm like, oh, man, we got to get in there. Like, this is going to take for ever. And it did. We get across the street finally. I'm like, oh, let's go through this crowd. We start walking to the crowd, to the main line to wait in line with our tickets. I'm like, this is gonna suck. And then this old lady came up, the security guard, an older woman. She's like, hey, bring him this way. I'm like, thank you. So I'm like, hey, come here. I'm like, just looking at him through crowds like, there's hella people around just looking at him, trying to catch eyes. And then he did it. And then she walks through the back way. Thank God. And then we walk through the back way. I have all stacks of joints in my pocket. They didn't search me at all. It was so sick. We walk in and, right, we get in there. I mean, I'm beating fans and, too people, you know, obviously, but not like, famous guy, where I'm like, dude, this. That sucks, man. That sucks. You can't even walk and it's not even fans. It's like, you could tell when some people are just like, who is that? Who is that? We get a picture with them. I can see. I'm like, oh, you don't know who that is? Just taking a picture and that's lame. Who does that? Old foreign people. They go, oh. And they take their daughter, who Is this. That's like an old person thing. Anyway, we're sitting. We go to sit down. We sit down and there's no security. Just like everyone in the stadium can walk up to the front row and just take pictures. Like, dude, it got to the point. I'm like, yo, guys, we're trying to watch this fight. Go sit down, please. It got to the point, like, what the.

[B]

People. People were just walking up while you guys were sitting down.

[A]

And so here's like the ring, we're right behind the ring. There's big sections, right? And then, you know, the rest of the crowd, like up in the stands, but people, they just. The security didn't make them stop. And then Tony Ferris is sitting right in front of us, we're talking to him. And he had a meet and greet line the whole time. I mean, no lie, you met 500 people at least walking up a whole line while the fights are going, everything. And I was like, this is a little unorganized. Guys, like, want to watch the fight. The people behind Tony Ferguson can't see because it's a meet and greet line. Like, yeah, it was fine though. It was fine. Anyway, sit there, I look at him. You want to get a drink? I'm like, he goes to get a drink, comes back, I take one sip. Like, this is not a. This is not. This is no. Like, there's only liquor in here, dude. There. What the is this? And I'm like, this is the strongest drink I've ever had in my life. Cuz they're like, oh, they're fans. Like, I know they're fans. They hooked. This is a quadruple shot. I looked at my, my pineapple and it was clear. It was a little yellow. I'm like, oh. Anyway, after one I'm like, I'm a little buzzed. That's. That was at least 4 to 5 shots, cuz I don't get up off a couple. We drank like three or four of those back to back. So about halfway in the fights, I'm like, are you faced? I'm. I'm like, me too. What? What? Stop. Let's stop a little. Justin Bieber's sitting over there next to us. I'm like, oh, man. Trying to get high. But he also like, I'm not gonna go buggy full, but also you trying to get high. Sick. Fights were cool. Everything was great. Fights were sick. Leaving was a little ordeal because everyone's leaving at the same time. So like we're just walking and taking pictures and not stopping. Because if we stop. It's just crowd. If you stop, there's a crowd, dude. And like, we're walking up in the ramp instead of stairs, like, up the ramp and we get to the top and we realize, like, oh, this parking lot's so packed because everybody's coming out. And when they come out, they walk in front of that parking lot. So you can't drive out. Every car is taking, like three to four minutes to get out. And there's 3, 400 cars. Me and that full sat for an hour by my car to wait for the traffic to die down. And the pictures and the just. Just did not stop. It just never stopped, which is fine. Like, damn, dude, this is.

[B]

Dude, what did it seem empty in there? That's what they kept saying.

[A]

Everybody kept saying, why are you lying? Protecting them? Why are you lying? Saying it was full, I didn't get paid. I don't. I don't own that company. I'm just telling you what I saw. And everybody was like. And some guy was talking to me. No, there's not. I sent him a video in the. In the Twitter. Like, this video shows. It's like, nah, like, I'm showing you the video. What do you want me to say? It was packed.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

That everybody's like, well, those are just fake lights. Each chair lights up and does, like the flash.

[B]

When I was at the roast, they had them. Those were wristbands.

[A]

Yeah, the wristbands. But these ones were on the chairs. It was fully packed, packed, wall to wall, everything. It's all empty. But why are you coming after me? People here are so stupid and, like, got nothing to do with their lives that they're looking at me. Just because you give free tickets don't mean you gotta lie for them. First off, I don't know if they're free. OT invited me. Second, what do I have to lie about? I don't know, Jake. Paul, you think I got money off this? There's no stakes in this for me to lie. Even if. Even if it was my company and it was my shit and we didn't fill up, I'd be like, yeah, we didn't win to sell out. I don't lie. No sugarcoat. Did not embarrass myself. I have talked about horrible things on the Internet.

[B]

Plenty of Ls publicly.

[A]

Yeah, you think I'm afraid of saying when I up. I've smoked meth by accident. Extensively talked about it. Anyway. Yeah, I have nothing to lie, Marty. It was packed. Wall to wall packed, packed, packed.

[B]

And then what Was it like seeing like, Natez and Ronda Rousey fight and. Oh, that was my other real question. That Ronda Rousey fight seems so goofy and like, such a money grab.

[A]

The other girl hasn't fought in 17 years.

[B]

They said, yeah, like, it didn't seem like that should have even happened. It was a lion.

[A]

That was stupid, dude. It was stupid. What's his name? Francis Nagandu or whatever.

[B]

I mean, he's a monster.

[A]

He's big dude. Oh, fight him.

[B]

No. Anyway, he's one of the scariest people on earth.

[A]

Scary dude. Watch the whole fight walking back. And we. We did that. Go back to my house. Then we're gonna go meet date Diaz at this. Like, you guys are lame. Let me say that you guys that go to these things are lame. Imagine like the super bad house party, like a regular house party, but it's like in Santa Monica on the corner of all these, like, stores and businesses and nightclubs. Except this guy just, like, kept his house. He's on the whole block. He's at the whole house, but it's a nightclub. At night he turns into a nightclub or like a hangout, but it's like people playing pool, hanging out by the tree. It's a backyard. It's a house party, but you have to pay and wristband to get in. Anyway, I have my jar in my hand because it. Right. I have it in my hand. Security's checking me because he's like. And I was nothing in my pockets. I'm like, I bet you doesn't see the jar my hand. I don't know why. I'm like, he's just not going to see it, cuz. Who would just hold the jar in their hand? And then I'm like, that he's about to let me. Goes, hey, you can't take that in. Like, oh, you almost. You. I almost got it. I'm like, what do you mean, man? He's like, can't take him. They wouldn't let OT in. He's like, you have to have shoes into a nightclub with sandals on and no shirt. And they're like, dude, you gotta have shoes with. No. There's no. There's no way around it. Another guy came up like, all right, we'll let you in. Like, ah, famous power. Yeah, cool. And then we went in and they're like, yo, go put that weed away. All I did was dumped all the weed into my pocket bare like tots from Napoleon Dynamite. Put all these nugs in my pocket and was like, oh, man. Put it away. And they just let me in a roll joint standing there. Out of here, out of here, man.

[B]

Is this Nate Diaz's?

[A]

No, Nate Diaz is like, he's gonna go there for an after party. So I'm standing there, and this is what I do at a house party. Ready? That's me the whole time. So I did that for about 45 minutes.

[B]

That's a good bit right there. You guys ready to party?

[A]

Party. My back. That was pretty much the whole thing. Me just scooting out of people's way. That's what I do my whole life. Just, oh, I'm sorry. And then everybody's sitting there. I go like, everybody's 20. All these people are like, fucking 19. No big deal. But I'm like, I am. I didn't want to be here when I was 19. I don't want to be here now. And I'm looking at O.T. like. And he's looking at me without talking me. And this. He's a good friend of mine. Like, I. I can. I know what he's gonna say without saying it. And he. Same with me. I look at him, and that's like, you want to leave as soon as Nadia gets here? Like, yes. And when I'm like, hey. As soon as he's like, we should leave a second naked cereal. He hates that too. So I'm just like.

[B]

Just so happens we do that at every event. As soon as the guy gets there.

[A]

Yep, yep. I told him, too. Like, last time I went to an event. I won't say who last time. Guys, I went to an event a couple months ago. Walked in. I told Rosie, I parked in the front door, paid the guy. Like, can I leave my car in the front? Because. Yeah, yeah, there's gonna be more ago. Perfect.

[B]

Leave that running.

[A]

Thank you. I walked up, everybody's looks like zoolander model party in here. I don't fit in. Don't fit in anywhere. But, like, that guy has an open shirt. Could you imagine shirts open and unbuttoned? Dude, he went out like that. This is not the place for me, man. That bitch has a heel. Like, I walk up, I walk into this record release party, walk in. The second I take one step in, I walk into the person that invited me, the artist. I'm like, hey, like, oh, what's up? Let's take a picture. I'm like, yeah, for evidence. Like, yo, there's drinks. There's everything. I'm a mingle my. Thank you for inviting us. Turns around. As the person turns around, you're in the Maybach. I started walking down the stairs and I looked at Rose. She went, no. And I waited for the person to turn right when she started taking the picture. And then the person went, I went right down the stairs. I looked at the valet goes, I go, done. Like, here, I'll pay you still. He moved the car. Oh, you're supposed to park it a couple spaces up to like, not block the door.

[B]

Damn,

[A]

Sorry. There we go at the spot. Nate Diaz comes, everybody. I'm Just not one of those guys. Everybody in the entire place trying to take a picture with Nat ds. Everybody, the spot's trying to hang, like, shake his hand, everybody. I would rather it be like at a random spot where I chill and go, hey, let's smoke a joint. Nice to meet you, man. I met him before even we before, but like, so is a lot of people. And you know, he has severe head drama. He might not remember another fat Mexican from California. So he's like in a circle. Everybody's talking, we're all talking. He's standing right next to me, but I'm not gonna bug him. We're all smoking and everybody's taking pictures. Everybody's like trying to get pictures. I'm just leaving him alone. He's standing next to us for 30 minutes, we're trying to take the picture. I get that picture. For some reason, guys don't know how to take pictures. Somebody took a picture, six of them were blurry. One of them, half of us were in the shot. So I have a picture. I haven't posted it. I have it though. It's me, Nate Diaz and ot. We're smoking a joint and I look at ot, he's like, I'm going to take a picture. Get the out of here, Mike. Cuz we're doing this the whole time. No, no, Wall to wall. Wall to wall. Shoulder, shoulder. And I'm standing by ot. Like, don't move, I won't move. I mean, nobody can go around us. And I'll just stand in this corner and we'll leave. All I'm thinking is, I got a flight to San Francisco in five and a half hours. All I keep thinking like, I have to go home. Package.

[B]

Gross.

[A]

Try to sleep.

[B]

Disgusting.

[A]

So we leave there right after, right? Done. Bounce. Go back to my house. OT's flight's at 5, we get back at 4. He has to be at the. Leave the airport at 5. I have to leave the airport at 7. I have to download a bunch of videos. Export. Marty again. I have to export a bunch of videos. So it took me an hour and a half to export my videos. So I export everything. It's now 5:30. He just left. And I'm like, I'm gonna go to sleep. My car will be here at 7. I slept for exactly 70 minutes, right? That's what I said on my watch. Woke up like, okay, I feel disoriented and I drank in the middle of the day all day yesterday. Never slept. This is disgusting. So.

[B]

And you're going to do Comedy.

[A]

I'm going to do a comedy show in San Francisco that night, right? It's six, seven in the morning. My show's at seven at night. I have a flight. I'm gonna get there for six hours left. It's my mom's birthday. We're gonna hang out all day, hang out all the next day. It was all planned. I get to the airport on time. I get to the airport. Are you ready? Delta Airlines, you guys. I get to the airport, put my thing in there. I'm like, well, there's a long line. I'm gonna go pay the guy at the front for the front check in so I can skip this line. We'll pay him because you have to pay or you can do it for free. I'm like, I'll just pay. I need to hurry up. And he goes, hey, man, your ticket's not working. Yeah, well, come on. Like, no, no, it's not working. I look at rockets if my tick's not working, like, what? And the guy talked to the lady. She goes, oh, you go to the helpline? I go to the helpline. It's 900 people long, spilling out into the hallway. I know I'm gonna miss my flight. She goes, yeah, you're gonna miss your flight, but you have to go to the helpline. I go, what? Say it again and tell me if you're not stupid. And I went, that's stupid. I'm leaving. And I just gotten a. You can Uber to your destiny to your terminal now. It's called Uber Curbside, but it's so much more expensive because you're not allowed to Uber into the, into the airport. You're to pick up. You have to go to the, the Uber drop off line. Sometimes that line's 45 minutes long. So if you want to pay more, you can just get picked up right at your terminal. Yes. It was 249 for me to get to my house. It was 65 to get there because it was curbside. So I'm sitting there furious that I have to leave the airport, get Rocco's car Now, drive six and a half hours instead of just flying 35 minutes or an hour. So I'm like, okay, I'll still have four hours till the show. Three hours of the show. I can sleep for about 45 minutes. Get up, get ready. I'm like, I have not slept. They wouldn't give me my money back because I didn't wait in the, in the helpline, even though I would have missed a flight. And then Rosie got it back because she showed him the comedy flyer. There's a thing. If it's a business thing, they will give you your money back. Just throwing it out there like it's comedy fire. He was going to be late to the show. He can't get another flight. And they go, well, there's no proof. I'm like, boom, link, flyer. They went, oh, you really did have something to like. Because I have a flyer. You give my money back. What about everyone else? It's up.

[B]

I hate her airlines.

[A]

That's not cool, dude. Just keep my money. Cuz I didn't want to wait in your line and miss my flight and miss my event. Why am I ticket working in the first place anyway? I leave me and Rocco Drive is terrible. I'm falling asleep every 30 sec. You know when you fall asleep but you don't know you're asleep and you wake up? I kept doing the gasp.

[B]

That might, that might be sleep apnea if you wake up gasping for air.

[A]

No, no, no. Like, you know when you're scared. Yeah. You get. I was gotcha. Because I was like, wait, I'm deliriously tired. And I know I'm driving, but. You're driving, But I'm in a car. Am I driving? Did I just fall asleep? My brain was not working right. It was really. I don't get like that when I don't sleep. I've slept. I've not slept for five days. I'm a drunk. I mean, I've not slept for five days while just smoking weed the whole time. It's not like I was on drugs to stay up. I just have insomnia and I don't know why. After about a day and a half, I feel like, you know when you rep, rep, like a P. Like your best rep, you're like, that's how I feel about day two. Like, how long can I go not sleep? I don't know why my brain does that. Anyway. Excuse me. Get to. Get to Frisco. I slept like an hour, 20 minutes on the way there. Here and there. Just like falling in and out of sleep and asleep for about 45 minutes for the show, guys. I walk to the show, which is sick. Walking to San Francisco, up to the show. My name was on the thing. Oh my God. So I walk up, I'm like, yeah, yeah, this is sick. This is tight. I am gonna fall asleep. I was chugging water so I wouldn't sleep because I had to. I had to pee so bad. I was just chugging water to make myself try to pee. Because I'm like, you're gonna fall asleep in the green room. I know it. I could feel, like, the. The wobble. I felt the, like, the, like, why? I slept three hours and three days, and I'm gonna go perform. I'm stupid. So I go real quick. I'm not gonna say everything. I did a 20 minute set in San Francisco. 20 minutes. I added new. My sister was in the crowd. I did a story. I ended. My closing bit was about me finding out my sister's gay in San Francisco. I got claps. I got clapping. And what? Oh, you guys love gay, huh? I'm in the right place for some gay. And I said it. And the clo. I closed it. And when I closed it, I got like, pop. Like, get off now. All right. Thank you so much. Like, oh, because my chick goes so well, you know, my ecstasy bit in the end, I never figured out enough to get the last big pop. But it's funny, but it's not. The closure should be here, not here. So it's always a little bummer when I'm like, all right, that's my time. And I don't hear, got it. I got it down. I got it down. Right When I was walking off, my three security guards came up to me after like, yo, your set was hilarious. Thanks, dude. When the security guards are, people that work there say that to me. I go, oh, hell yeah. You came out here to tell me that you're at work? You don't give a thanks, dude.

[B]

All you do is hear comedy all day.

[A]

All day. Yeah. The older man came up like, that was really good, man. What's your name? I told him, he's like, I'll see you soon. I go, yeah, you will. And they let me smoke out the green room. I asked my, can I roll weed in here? He goes, smoke it in here. Thanks. And I was hanging out a window. I talked about this on the understate. I was hanging out a window because I was like, I'll just hang out the window and blow some smoke out so much. Anyway, it's like 15ft to the first window in San Francisco. It's like all in a slant, so the first windows real high. And that's where we're at. So I'm hanging out the window. My broccol go across street and get a sick picture of me hanging out the window. Mark, I'll send them to you. They came out incredible. They look like a whole big building, all these windows. You see me if you like Where's Waldo? In the window. It's sick. Anyway, I'm smoking and this guy's walking. Remember it's like 15ft high. And I say, hey. I look down and the guy's like that. I've been following you since like 12. Sick dude. What's your name? He told me his name. He's like, what are you here for? Why are you here? Like, goes to the comedy club, goes, oh, he's. He lives next door. He's like, oh, this is where I smoke joints. And he sat down and started smoking joint. Nice to meet you, man. Random interaction. I thought it was very cool. The show went extremely well. Like really, really, really, really well. Amazing. Couldn't have gone better. I loved it. Fast forward. Okay, fast forward. I spent a whole day in Mercedes around doing nothing and in San Francisco. So I didn't get home until Tuesday night, which is weird, dude. Anyway, fast forward. My dad comes. My dad's birthday, right? My dad. This is where I'm at now. Let's catch up. Thursday, my dad comes over. My dad, I invited him to bkfc. Shout out to David Diaz. Let's go to bkfc. A bare knuckle fighting championship. My dad loves fighting. I've never been anywhere with my dad ever. I'm like, hey, you're an adult now. All the kids that you had after us are old enough to like, it's okay if they don't come. Like, my sister's like, oh, it's okay. I'm 20. I don't have to be everywhere, dad. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to like, dad, come here. But don't bring the kids because, you know, I want to smoke weed in my car. It's really what it is. I want to smoke weed in my car on the long ass drive. And I want my little brother there going, I can't do nothing with you. Those people just take a dab. Like, no, I don't want him to know I have a dad. I don't want him to see me smoke. I don't want nothing. Nothing. So my dad comes over on Thursday and he's like, I'm going to bring Johnny. I'm like, ah, right. That's cool. I mean, I want to hang out with him, but he's foiled my plans. Okay, so they come over on Thursday. I honestly, dude, I've been so Wednesday, guys, I did. I judged a weed competition. And like I say in every video, I waited till the last day. What an idiot. I didn't wait till the last day. This time, I had five days. Then they text me, said, hey, everything's due tonight. I go, no, you said the 25th. They go, no, the 20th. I look at the paper says 25th. They go, hey, not my fault. I said says that. And you told me 30th, not 20th, not 25th. Now it's a 20. Oh. So I get home on Wednesday, and I have to do this whole video one day. I smoked over a hundred different products that day. Every single one of them. This table was full. I smoked every single Emily to smoke all the way down. If it was trash, we only hit it a couple times. That edibles, edible category, everything. We did it all. And what happened is I ate all these edibles. These different edibles. I only probably ate like 2, 300 milligrams. Nothing crazy, but it gave me the munchies. And I haven't had the munchies in so long. Like, I thought of food, went, oh, that sounds bomb. I never say that. I'm always like, yeah, I guess we'll eat that. I don't care. Like, I'm the fattest guy that doesn't care about food. It's the weirdest because all the food I eat sucks. Vegetarian foods is boring. Well, you want lentils again? Damn. All right. I just don't cook a lot of stuff in the. Anyway. Where the was I? Oh, I ate all these edibles. I did all these things. I woke up, my dad comes over. So I'm like, slightly like, that little hangover. I'm like, oh, I'm high. Yesterday, I kind of leaked over. Till today, you guys, I'm sure you've had that. And my dad comes over, and I'm doing a video for Dr. Dabber. And I was gonna take my dad being here this weekend or not. I was gonna just hit the new device, take it through the whole weekend. Bkfc, this, that, that. Just get high instead of doing a review. Like, hey, check this out. This how it works. I'm tired of doing that. It's like, it's too comm. It's a commercial. I want to be. Have fun. Also, I'm using a device. Not, hey, I'm going to do this commercial. If it's fun, that's cool. That's different. So I'm just taking rips. Taking rips. Taking rips. Friday comes go to bkfc. I'm have to take rips. And I look at my dad. I'm like, hey, dad, can you take him right there? I'm just going to film A clip. And I was like, I think he got it the first time. He goes, oh, you're gonna hit this. Okay, got you, Johnny, come with me real quick. So my dad was playing wingman. Wingman. And taking my brother around the parking lot real quick so I could take a rip fast. I took, like, 30 different rip. My dad did that so many times. Anyway, bkfc, they let me park in the front space, went and watched the fight. My dad's tripping. My dad loves ufc, so we're tripping. My dad's pointing out I don't know who they are. He's like, that's. That's my damn fool. You're really on this. And Big John McCarthy was sitting over there. My dad tried to get a picture, but he didn't come over to us. But anyway, my dad was all tripping. Chris Leben was. Was the ref. And my dad immediately, Chris Le. I'm like, damn, dad, you're on it. And he had a picture with Chris Le. He's all excited, dude. My dad dropped all his soda drinks, so there's one big puddle in our row, and he put all his trash on the ground so he could step on it. So when I got up, there was a. It looked like India on the ground, like a river of trash. And I was like, let's walk away from this. They don't. It's us, obviously. It's our seats. We're sat right behind the owner. So the owner's box like that, where he's, like, doing his commentary thing. You'll see us on. You'll see us. We're right behind the guy. And, dude, my dad was ripping, like, not. I didn't tell him what seats we had. I was like, yeah, we're gonna go do this. And then we're like, here? I'm like, yeah, we're in the front row. The front dead center. And my dad sat in the middle, so he's dead centered to the walkout. And I'm like. I couldn't see it because the owner's in my way, but my dad's, like, dead center. You could see him just tripping. The whole Fights were sick. David got fight of the night. David lost. But did he. He did he, like, he was pressing the whole time. The guy got the better of him with those two shots. But if we're talking about straight entertainment, damn. David swept that. And David Diaz, he told me he's gonna propose to his girlfriend a couple weeks ago. He's like, I'm gonna pros at the end of the year. Like, sick. And he proposed in the ring. I did not. As soon as he said, hey, come here. I went, oh, I don't know why I knew. O. You can hear me in the video. No. And he proposed to his girl. I met her. I met her at the hotel right before the fight. She's from Japan, speaking fluent Spanish to him. It was really funny. Spanish in a Japanese accent to a Mexican that looks like that from a Japanese. I'm like, what the is going on? And I heard her saying to me, oh, that's. You're speaking Spanish. Because he would say something to her, and she would reply. I'm like, oh, that's a weird Japanese. That was Spanish. Like, David, you don't know Japanese. She learned Spanish for you. You speak English? It, dude. But anyway, fights went good. I went. We went to go meet up with David at a restaurant after, but we had to drive three hours back. So I'm like, yeah, let's just chill for a minute. I just want to go with my dad. He was all psyched, my dad. I went, had a meet me, my dad. And David's hand was literally. These knuckles were. It looked like a baby's paw. Like, not baby's paw, a bear paw. Like, no definition, no knuckles, just fat. Like when someone gets stung by a bee. It was just fat. And there was a bump on his hand, probably that high off his hand. Like, it was so severe. His hand was like this. A ball on it. And he was like that. What's up, dude? His face was just. He had stitches. Oh. Anyway, we drove back, and then I took my dad to the Pearson Auto museum. My dad's into cars, so. Pearson auto museum. If you have time, go check out the Peterson Auto museum. It is so badass. One floors cars from movies. One floor is concept cars. One floor is this.

I didn't really like it when we took my dad. I forgot we talked about it. My dad, man. My dad. My dad is not. Movies are not interactive movies. Don't you know? There's no response needed. You don't have to. To say anything. And my dad, man, he just. My dad's Michael Scott from the office. You know, when I realized it, preview went down and my dad looked at me and went, man, I wish I had one of those fart things because it was quiet. He was like. He said that would have been funny. Not to make me laugh or anything. He just said it because he's like, that's what came in his head. God, I wish I had a fart thing right now. When it got quiet like that.

They sock you full force. Like, you didn't even hold back at all. Like. Well, you said sock. You're like, not in the face. Like, dad, like, you don't have to ask me questions. What's this guy's name?

My dad here, check out YouTube. My dad watches YouTube shorts. Which is fine. My dad watches AI made YouTube shorts. But not terrible. My dad watches AI YouTube shorts without knowing that they're AI. That's what got me. He's like, that's not fake. Go, dad. That's not Larry Bird's voice. It starts off Larry Bird. Well, yeah. And then it voices over a clear AI switch. And then like, these paint looking clips from the NBA. It's like, dad, that's AI. Larry Bird didn't play against Michael or didn't play against Kobe. It's like, that's not AI Go, dad. Look at his eyes are starting to float. This is an AI Video goes, no, my dad.

I can't say it, but it was some violent, weird, wild. I'm like, damn. Never, never say this out loud ever, to anyone. Because that guy's still alive. And you live in, like, the way he was talking, like, yeah, yeah, you exactly like I thought you were. My dad's so nice, but, like, my uncle Jaime's not. And he's a bad influence, man. He loves to fight. Anyway, me and my dad chilled the entire weekend. It was pretty cool, man. I've never done that Last week it was my mom. I told my mom all weekend. Random.

My dad's been driving since he was 13 years old, man. Yeah, 44 years. My dad's been driving non stop every day. Missing school, missing everything. Imagine being by yourself for 44 years, all day. And you're a talkative ass person. And you're. Hell, my dad's a people person. To the times a hundred me, like, I'm on stage that times 100. Like, talk to anybody, make a joke about anything, anything, anywhere, no matter what. Doesn't matter. Even if he's gonna offend you. He's gonna make this. He's Michael Scott. He will make a joke. He's going to no matter what. Even if it's a serious situation. So yeah, like, that's not good for him. He's a people person. He just sits in a truck all day alone.

[B]

What's he gonna do now?

[A]

I don't know. He's trying to figure it out. Crazy. Interesting, crazy. He's like, I applied to be a custodian. Like, oh, you're just. You just want to like do stuff weird, man. I've never seen my dad do anything but drive. And I see like, my dad's getting older. It's weird. I see it in his Face. Whoa. You're past the age of, like, getting like. To an older man, you're becoming an old man. It was quick. It happened in the past, like, three years. Weird, man. I showed him a picture of himself. That's me. Go. That's you? Yeah. So that don't look like Migo, Dad. It looks identical. You just look like you're in shape. Are you getting that old man? And he couldn't read the menu at the things like, oh, dude, it's over. You're old now. I gotta get make more money, dude. I gotta make more money. So I'm like, hey, man, stop doing stuff here. Just garden all day or something. You need something to do. I'm at the age I'm lucky where I don't have to take care of my parents in home. I just gotta figure out for them to do because my mom wants to retire from doing nails. She has to get surgery on her wrists. The carpal tunnel is too much. She said, oh, no. So now. So my dad's done and my mom's done. Now I got to figure out what the they're gonna do.

[B]

It's like you're like reverse sending them off college.

[A]

[B]

She be down for that.

[A]

Yeah, my mom's one of those ladies. It's like, hey, hey, I don't want to work. That's really it. Like, that's it. Okay, so what are you gonna do, mother? I don't know.

Oh, bum. Without an address or place of residence. God, I love Josh Volta. The way he says. He says all sassy and dude, no. I gotta figure out my mom and my dad. I don't know what they're doing, but I gotta figure it out while simultaneously figuring out all my eight things. Yeah. Oh, so. So here we go. Here we go real quick, guys. Update, update, update, update. I didn't eat bread for till 4:20, right? I've been eating bread exactly a month now. Felt like I gained 20 pounds. I feel inflated. It's over. It's over. Marty.

[B]

Back off the road.

[A]

Back off. Done. I hate needles. But, guys, I think I might have to do these peptides. I might get the peptide patches. Seeing Biasos, I grow back. You guys haven't seen Paso? Gross. Paso, the guy from Cannabis Brothers.

[B]

That was confusing the way he said that.

[A]

Yeah, he, he, he. This is his own old Instagram name. It was Pass or Girl.

[B]

I know. You're like, he's agroback.

[A]

He lost his hand, part of his hand as a master grower in an ATV accident. He had a bad eye because he was with glasses. So he had surgery and then surgery up his eye went blind in his eye. And then his eyes started decaying and dying, so it started shrinking. That's why he started wearing that glass. This glass in the patch. But I also had a patch on for three years because I was dying slowly, decaying. But he didn't want to take it out in case they could fix it. Isn't that up? Started taking peptides about five months ago. I haven't seen the guy started taking peptides. The Wolverine one, the one that rebuilds the. Looks 25 years younger. He's kind of yoked, like, I. Like, you can see it in his. Just standing, like. When I saw him, I looked at him, went, oh. Like, I knew I recognized him, but I didn't. He look like he had pretty filter on. Like, he's, like, in shape. And he goes, dog. His eye grew back. He's like. I could see out of it, like, what are you saying? I was. I would take a peptide stock. And he just start. You know how aggressive when he talks, he starts just yelling out, numbers, peptide, blah, blah, blah. And I look at Phil's brother's brother's like that stacks like, yeah, I've been on him, too. I go, yeah, I could tell, man.

[B]

I didn't know it gave you, like.

[A]

No, no, no. They're just, they're. They work out a lot, but they're 50. They work out a lot. It just kicking in their testosterone. It's pumping up their. It's not a steroid.

[B]

You said. It's a.

[A]

You said peptide. It's what OT's dad preaches. Chucks on every peptide you can think of. No, the patches are for ass fools like me that don't like needles. John's on peptide. That's why John looks kind of buff right now. John's been losing somebody. John's on hell, like, eight peptides. I just don't want to do him and cheat. I want to see what I could do. Without him. But also my back. I'm overweighting. I'm done. I'm overweight and I'm overweighting. That scared me when it says, hey, you're not getting any sleep, but you slept for eight and a half hours. Rock was like, that's just. That's a breath. That's a heart. You're not breathing right. Oh, no. I can't let this happen, dude. So I'm done. I'm all for it. I'm have to get some peptide stuff, dude. I don't want to do the needles. I'm afraid of needles. But this is getting ridiculous, dude. Like, I'm losing weight so slow, so slowly. It needs to be better. And I'm gonna tell my trainer I want to do more explosive. I want to be able to jump up on a table if I need to, like, without touching it, you know, like, some running back. I need to do some DB drills. I need to be like, defensive back springy because I feel like my back will never get there. It's. I went to the doctor last week because I slipped a disc. Being there just reminded me of how much I've hurt myself. And, like, this is boring. And they told me it's my last session. Like, yeah, this is your last session. Oh. So how much money you want me pay now? I just need to fix it anyway, guys. I've been very on it. I've been doing. I just. It's my diet, man. I don't eat bad, but that bread, I'm just allergic to it. I don't know. I'm so. I'm sure some of you guys are there too. I'm just allergic. I just can't do it. It hurts my. It hurts my body. Anyway, sorry for the random old man health update, but I gotta let you guys know because this started to piss me off, dude.

[B]

And that's crazy. As Chicker back.

[A]

His eye is open. It was like a dehydrated raisin for, like, getting, like, small. He went, dog. I could see. And when I. When I went, what's up, Phil? I went, what the? I was like, what's up? I think touched that with. What the. And I lifted up this thing. I'm like, I was pretty heavy. And Phil just lifts it. Oh, you guys are strong. Because I'm strong, but my back is such a little. That it's. My whole body's weak because of it, and I don't want to hurt it. So when I went like, oh, my God, you guys are rock solid monsters now. It's cool to see dude I really like. Oh, T's on his right now too. He told me the same thing. He's like, all right. Nobody tells me no, get what I want. Every time, no matter what, I have to be the one to say, I go, good, because I said a couple years ago T was smaller than Marty. Did you look? I. I swear to God. It took me three minutes for him to convince me that was him. He had to show me pictures with Chuck. But that's not you as a cousin. It's not you. It doesn't look like you. Him skating. His face is completely different. And the mustache, a whole different guy. Promise you it looks like a little tagger from new from LA versus now. Night and day. Can't tell the same guy would not in a lineup. He'd walk free. That's how much different it is, dude. And plus Matt, all this comedy stuff, I really need to get in shape. So want to buy tickets, Matt rife. I need to get on that Matt Rife, Marty. To where it's like, oh, do seek you're funny and think they can get with you. Or they like you like, yeah, buy a ticket. People ask Rosie, do you ever get weird about that? Like, girls talking to us like, no, they're gonna buy like, yep. Or no, they're gonna watch stuff. No, they're gonna do this, like, exactly. My mom's a idiot. You're dumbass. I didn't even talk to your stupid ass about this. I was outside the comedy club. This girl came up to me and oh, great, sad. Blah, blah, blah, blah. She was being fucking friendly. Yeah, she was kind of hitting on me a little bit. Ish. She was just being nice. She was with her girlfriend. Not a friend was gay. I can see it. But not gay all the way. Her girlfriend definitely was. She's talking to me. She's like, yo, where are you guys from? Blah, blah. We're in a group of people. But she's talking to me and she's like, oh, yeah, trying to try my phone. She was being a little. I get it. I understand. And the girl's like, where are you guys staying out here? Like, being a normal human. Like, you guys aren't from here where you guys stay out here. This is the something district. And my mom, in the middle of her talk, goes, no, nope. And walks off, looks at the girl, walks away. And I looked at her like, that was the rudest I've ever seen. Don't do that. Don't show up to my shows ever again. If you're gonna do that to a person that likes my the is being friendly. My wife is right there. Rosie can see it. Let her hit on me. I don't give a Come to the next show. Mom, are you stupid? It was just. It was really rude the way my mom did it. Like blatantly rude as and it really pissed me off actually. And I looked at the girl and I just pretended that didn't happen. It kept talking to her and she went okay, we're going to go. All right, have a good night, mom. What the is wrong with you? Yeah, talk. I just be talking. Don't have a ring on my finger. I'm on stage. I'm hanging outside of the spot. She just saw me perform. I crushed it. Let her be a girl and she's gonna walk away. I'm not going with. I don't give her my I don't care about this. I'm humoring her. Pretend it's a mean green. What the wrong. Anyway it that pissed me off so And Rosie had to tell her too. Like I'm right here. No, you need to go over and talk to her. Like why? I I mean exactly. I stupid. Just cause my mom's 15, dude. I don't like it. She pissed me the off anyway. Stupid. Sorry. I should pissed me off anyway. I don't remember where we're going with that at all, but that really upset me.

[B]

Next time we interview a doctor or politician or some. Then where

[A]

like Ken.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

On stage.

[B]

This was seamless, though.

[A]

On stage, you see slightly. You would just see a little bit when the light hits. Oh. Hard. Yes. So that's what's been going on. That's a quick catch up. What the. Been going on? My life and stuff. Yeah. OG went to some stores. OG helps us with proper papers and he went to a few big stores in la and the owner says, no, no, we were told those are bad ones. That's why they haven't picked up proper because. No, we were told that those are bad ones. Who the fuck's going around saying that Somebody already went to a store to go. Don't buy these, man. What's wrong with you? You went out of your way. They didn't ask. Got any new papers I shouldn't pick up? No one Asked that. So whoever you are, you're a dick. You went out of your way. Anyway, we got him in the store. He just picked him up. Fuck you. But it took two times to go like, no, we heard those were bad OG press. I'm like, why aren't you picking these up for. You already had me drop off samples. Oh, gee's the best salesman. What the. What the. He's. He's the best guy to. Come on. Come on, weasel tits. What the Going on? And yeah, somebody went out to two big stores here and, like, no, no, we were told that those are bad out of here. Someone's already doing that in personnel. It is what it is.

[B]

Preemptively hating on you guys is what it is.

[A]

I'll say this now. You know what? No, no. Nope. I'll tell you after. I'm not gonna talk about things until they're solid. Let's leave it at that. Or not even talk about it. How about that? I'll just let it happen. I always talk about things and then people. I think when it draws attention to things, people go and start hating on it. There's a group of people out there, man, that just Marty. That look at us and go, these guys? Isn't that crazy? Wow. It's weird, man. It's like, me with Gavin Newsom. Like, you're a piece of. And I have. And here's why I meet him one day. Actually, I didn't do that. Like, you're the governor. You did it all. That's how I feel like, no, no, you control. You're the principal, and people are smoking crack in the library, and you're not doing anything about it. Well, I didn't know, like, you did, actually. You went to the library to do a news conference about it and say, hey, you're gonna clean it up. Just so you do with the fires. You bastard. Remember he just stood in front of a house on fire. We're gonna stop. Like, what the fuck are you here for, dude? Pick up a bucket, something. You're gonna be here. How'd you get back here? I thought those bros are blocked off. But, yeah, moving forward with that, YouTube. Sup? Thank you for being here. YouTube. We appreciate you. Spotify, above all, shout out to you for being cool with us and letting us be. Thank you so much. This week. 100. I already have a Dope as Yola page on Spotify. Go ahead and follow Dopa Jola on Spotify. I'm gonna start uploading my stories, uploading my weed videos, uploading everything. I'm. I'm dumb for putting all my time into YouTube when they don't want me there, when it's like my biggest time and my biggest money spend and I'm sitting there waiting and trying to fix it. Why? Just let it be. Run my content. Let it go. I need to go focus on things that are. Here's my new thing. Does it help? That's the new thing, Marty. Hey, they want us to come to this party. Does it help? Then I'm not going to.

[B]

Yeah, all things go for me. It's like, how does this move the needle? What is this getting closer towards something?

[A]

Or is it dinners, meetings? Like, does this help? Do I need to go to this meeting? No. Then I'm not. I'm not going, dude. I'm over it. I'm over it. It's too much. Now I have to start delegating, like, my time because I'm over here talking like a. A business person. But, yeah, I am. I just. I always consider that I'm not. I just get high on the Internet. But it's like, no, you're on the Internet right here. All of this is what you have to do every day. So I have to start getting on it like that. Like, you're like, I'm only gonna do today. I'm only gonna do top as usual. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Now that's how I feel. Like, it's weird, guys. But no lie. If LRG came at me again was like, here's 5 million for push here to go sign the check, dude, I'm done. That's how I feel right now with Push Trees in the sense of it's my least money making thing, always has been. It takes up 40 of my time, and I have to put in so much groundwork, footwork, marketing, editing. All this. When you only make like $7 off

[B]

a shirt, shirts are tough.

[A]

I mean, we've always broke even. That's not a good business model. I spent. I've spent a house on push trees the past two years, and I did not get the house back. It's all in inventory. So when I have to put more money in, I'm like, oh, another house. If I was less organized, I'd have two houses and I wouldn't have put my money into that. So it's like, at this point, it's not like I give up. Of course I'm doing the same thing. I don't see the end game being Diamond. There's no street. We're popping. Diamond was doing 110 million a year for two years straight. I'll do 10 of that. I'm down. I'm down with doing 10 of that. People think push trees is huge, dog. It fits in this warehouse. Half of this warehouse. We're not. We've never been massive. Yeah, we're in zoomies. And that shit's a lot. Making a dollar fifty a shirt, guys. Dollar. Sometimes, yeah, 8,000 shirts is a lot, but $8,000 is not. When you waited three months for it. These drops take months because they have to get picked up. Drop, drop, date, sell out. 90 day net for my money. So like 6 months to make like, yeah, if they, if I made three bucks, it'd be 24,000. Like, oh, that's better than eight. Do you see what I'm saying? I'm being transparent with you guys here. Clothing is not a lucrative thing unless you're taxing like Burberry or something. It's just not.

[B]

It's not for the fans, basically. It's.

[A]

Yeah, it's for the fans. And Chuck. Chuck hits me up every day. Fucking love this shirt, man. Everybody. God, I love the quality of this shirt. Best shirt. He always tells me, God, this shirt's good. So I'm like, chuck, I wanna, I gotta get you some clothes, man. I gotta get you more stuff. That's really what it is. Like, I, I want to get away from this on stage. I'm tired of wearing graphic shirts. It's always. I always look like the same kid over and over and over. Like, oh, different. We. Differently, different weed. Vance. Vance. Fans, fans.

[B]

I would imagine you have a lot of, like, you had a whole designer era, got chill in the closet.

[A]

I really, really, really wish I could go back and erase that. I have so much designer clothes. I feel so goofy putting it on.

[B]

Don't know why, but is that not perfect for what you're looking to do right now?

[A]

I don't want to go on stage and give the person in the audience the going, I work at Starbucks and that shirt is two weeks of my pay. Now. I want to laugh at you talking about your struggles. That's the way I see it, kinda. And then other people see it as like normal, but I don't want to get.

[B]

But then stay in your push tree and be comfortable with it.

[A]

I get it. I totally. You see, I'm like teetering the fence of like, is this. I don't wear a watch on stage ever. I try not to ever wear a watch on stage because it's like, yo, this kid's coming Here, do a couple minutes. See the watch he's wearing? Like, this is not what he does. And then you kind of don't take me serious as a comedian because, like, I've never heard of you and you're wearing that watch. This is not your main income. That's how I. I mean, nobody else is probably thinking of that way. That's the way I'm thinking of it. Like, I break it down. Like, why and how do you have that watch on if you're opening? Never heard of you. You're actually not even everybody that didn't even get paid tonight, people are going

[B]

to be aware that you have going on outside.

[A]

I'm saying most people don't know who I am, which is kind of the way I keep. To keep it. You know, I want people to go in there, like, that guy was funny. What does he do? Who is he? Let me see his Instagram versus. Oh, I've seen this guy. He's online. There's we. I saw his car outside. It's pretty sick. I don't want that. Yeah, that's right. It's a different. It's different. And when I'm more popular and people like, yo, I'm coming to see you tonight, like, then that's fine with me. I want your first impression not to be Louis Vuitton shirt, which is fine, but it's like, that was $2,000. You just got a hundred dollars for tonight. You had 20 shows to get that shirt. You know what I'm saying? Like, it doesn't really make sense, especially in la. I feel like people that wear designer on stage are trying to look successful. I don't want to give off the, the implication that I'm fronting to try to be. I don't know if that makes sense, guys. It's. It's hard to wrap my head around it and be in the audience's head while being two different people in the audience going, I work at Starbucks. I own this building. It's la. So it's like there's a billionaire in the crowd and there's a guy that's homeless. It's LA is a different spot. So I'm trying to like, who am I in real life? I don't wear Louis Vuitton. I bought it because I thought it was really cool. I liked it at the time. And now I'm like, I don't want to wear a. Oh, well, there you go. All over my shirt.

[B]

Yeah, there you go. If you don't like it.

[A]

No, that's How I feel, I'm like, oh, nice polo. Cool. Can I take this G off of it? I don't know why I don't like this Gucci logo anymore.

[B]

It's like too loud. It's like trying too hard.

[A]

I feel like it's giving the image of like, I'm successful. But it's like, you know, what if people don't have anything going on that we're all designer a lot. This is Los Angeles. When I found out people rent, rent designer clothes, that's when I kind of was like, why do I buy this for me? No, dude, I'll take it back. There's a lot of Louis Vuitton, a lot of cool designer shit bought that I love. I think it's really cool. Cool wallet. I like it. Sick. Doesn't make me feel weird. A full Louis Vuitton pants and shirt mate, which is, I mean, look at, look at what it is. At the end of the day, it's how do I feel if that shirt's sick? As it happens to Louis Vuitton, I'm down. But I feel I bought like five designer shirts because they were at the designer store and I was like, I'm already in here. I don't want to leave with nothing. Make this associate walk with me for 30 minutes for no reason. That's really. A lot of the times I would buy something even if I didn't want to. I'm like, this guy's been with me for 30 minutes. Help me with everything. I'm not gonna like, next time

[B]

it's up.

[A]

That's how I always felt. That's why I always. I don't know, Marty. It's a weird, it's a weird thing I did. Just take headshots.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I tell you.

[B]

No. Well, I mean, you're always taking photos.

[A]

No, I took like real headshots. Hold on.

[B]

Why don't you just go get some that you like? That isn't all designed out.

[A]

Yo, can you please send me a drive with all those head shots cropped?

[B]

Get you some nice polos and a couple button ups or some and call it a day.

[A]

Hold on. Show you a quick example. And then you know what's crazy? I was like, dude, what do I do? What I do with my hands, right? And I was like, comedians do this. Kind of. And I went like this and took a picture and went, that was the goofiest, corniest I've ever done in my life. Ten minutes later I saw a flyer flipping and I went, it's not corny. You're a comedian. You're supposed to. And I did it after. I'm like, you know what it. Dude, what am I doing? Because I was just doing this the whole time, same face. I'm like, dude, no, I can't. I can't. I have to do something else. This is stupid. I'm like, but I'm so. Feel so corny doing the. But also, like, actors don't do that in their daytime. Dude, you want to do stuff in movies, but you don't want to. Can I just do what I would normally do at all times with this character? No, but. Okay,

[B]

Looks like AI. That's just regular shots.

[A]

I know, but it's, like, weird to be. I had to take real guy pictures.

[B]

Yeah, there you go.

[A]

I've never done that before. It makes me feel very unartificial and not genuine. And then I did not smile and I go, you look like you're gonna kill someone. Oh, that's what I look like when I don't smile. I look meant, but over a shirt.

[B]

It's like your LinkedIn photo.

[A]

Yes. Look at overshirt, crossed arms. I look like I have a tire business. You know what? I'm like, advertising on the table at the local restaurant. And then look, I'm wild. Nice. I'm just wearing hulk feet. You can't see anything. I love that. But baby shower. Miss OG's baby shower. This son's baby shower.

[B]

Oh, shit.

[A]

What is it? Oh, man. Taking those pictures was so goofy. And then I thought, I do a routine on stage. That's goofy. Taking a picture is fine. I'm pretending in a part of my bit. Dude, you do that. You did that twice tonight. That's the goofiest you've ever done. Don't feel bad about the picture. That's fair.

[B]

You did. You did, like, a theater play, basically.

[A]

Yeah. That's goofy. What it is, dude, is I'm like, Malcolm in the Middle and everything. I was like, that's dumb. Why would I do that? Like, well, because you do this. This, like, all right, I'll dumb down my brain just so I don't feel so stupid. That's really what it is. Like, it's not for everyone else thinking. I'm feeling, look stupid, look dumb. It's from me. Yeah. I've never cared about you. I don't care about the outside. It's me going, that was goofy. You did that. You gotta go to sleep tonight, dude. Every do that goofy.

[B]

I'll never let you forget it.

[A]

Yep. To myself, it's never for everyone else. Like, see what he did. Like, I don't care what everyone else thinks. They're lame. But I'm not lame.

[B]

It's true. Goofy. Goofy moments will haunt you for the

[A]

rest of your life. Dude, it's. There's only a few times where I said something, I'm like, that was goofy as. Dude, that was 28 years ago. Now, say. Still thinking about second grade when I said something dumb as, like, oh, I wonder what that kid thinks now. Actually, that kid. I'm still thinking about it. Yeah, we've all done it. We've all been. Said some stupid. Anyway, what I'm saying is I took some headshots the other day, and it was very goofy. I felt very weird about it. I need to start not. That's all.

[B]

How do you. I don't know if that's.

[A]

I'll get over it. I still. I started to look at the crowd more. I'm starting to talk. To look at people's faces instead of talking over them. Because now I. I went out and tried not to do a routine. I just tried to have a conversation, and it worked so much better. I was talking to a few dudes for the. For a minute. I was talking to this lady for a minute. Jumping back, I said, my whole set started off with like, a minute and a half. I was just riffing. I'm like, you know, I need to come out there doing that just to get.

[B]

That's a different level of comfort.

[A]

Yeah, I was fine. I mean, I took a drink, open a cup. I walked around. I'm talking about. And I got into my next bit. Took like 12 seconds. I'm like, that's a long pause. Never done it. Worked great. Anyway. Oh, this is Skywalker. Smell it. Anyway, I don't know what we're talking about at all.

[B]

Feeling goofy in the photos.

[A]

Felt real goofy in those pictures.

[B]

Maybe do some lifestyle ones. It's not just you just posing. Give some, like, context or something so you don't feel so out of place.

[A]

No, for my flyers, I'm just gonna do what I always did for your Instagram. I'm gonna remake my favorite movie stuff. Easy, easy. I'm just gonna remake goofy stuff like I always used to. I used to put myself in pictures. That's my flyer. Me crossing Abbey Road. Obviously not with the Beatles. Come see me on Friday. Not these English guys. Like, I'm gonna make a flyer. That's funny. Comedians should make funny flyers.

[B]

That was the whole thing.

[A]

Comedians. No, but, like, me dressing up Doing stupid like this, this next five shows and be dressed as Hellboy. I don't know some stupid. I don't know, Eric Cartman, you know what I mean? Like, make it goofy with it. Make it like themed. Like you usually for Rogan all the time. Yeah, but. But not AI, not. Not Photoshop. Yeah, I want to do. Actually go do it.

[B]

Make the scene and take a photo of it. That's cool. It's a lot of work.

[A]

Like I wanted to do like where I'm the guy cutting Scarface's leg or about to. But you're gonna come see the show, huh? You just see scarface? No, they're 20 bucks. Don't be a. With a chainsaw in a bathroom. Sure, I can piece it like I used to do. I used to do this all the time. I did the Training Day where I didn't want to smoke his weed. Do a lot of like movie cut it like kind of like. Honestly, kind of like what concrete does. It's crazy because a lot of the skit dudes like, dude, that's exactly what I used to do. Because I'm like, that shit's funny as. And he just kept it going. Well, I used to do skits. I used to make fun of every single popular thing the next day. Mannequin challenge, the dog disappear. Everything you can think of, I used to make fun of. That's why I did the Erica Kirk. That's like 10 year old. 10 years ago me, I would have done that in. In five seconds flat. I would have done it this time. It took me a couple hours. I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna do it. I did it by myself. Filmed it myself, cut it by myself. Oh no, Henry did it. But still, I used to do that. I would do four videos a day every day. Four clips a day. It's a lot of content. Anyway, I don't know what else we're talking about. I can't remember what else we said, but we're caught up. We're here, we're hanging out. My dad did not remember biting his own toenail off.

[B]

No.

[A]

No how. And he goes, yeah, it sounds like something I would do. That's what he said. My dad. You don't remember it? I started throwing up on the floor. He goes, no, are you kidding me?

[B]

I love OT's face. While you're telling story was the best part of it.

[A]

Oh, that's gross, dude. Okay, Barty, you got anything else you want to talk about?

[B]

I'm sending.

[A]

I.

[B]

We're Shipping one kid off this week? Damn near.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Damn. I graduated one A plus. Patted myself on the back.

[A]

Wait, she hasn't graduated yet.

[B]

This is her last week. Friday's her last day.

[A]

Yeah. See, it's May, first week of June.

[B]

A little preemptive, you know what I'm saying? But we just. We signed the apartment and so I've been getting furniture and.

[A]

And sick.

[B]

Yeah, it's weird.

[A]

Cool. Extra room.

[B]

Extra room. Yeah. Doing all that and. Yeah, I'm just grinding. We wanna. My next goal is to buy a

[A]

second house, rent out my current house, moved to la.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If Marty could live out here, could you imagine how much more we would get done? Not even that. Hey, hey. You don't have to drive that far. We should do a photo shoot and update the website today. We should do this and do this today. Hey, let's do a promo ad. Mario. The second Marty's done, he's frantically wrapping up to be traffic every episode. The second this goes all right, I have no mistake. He's taking everything apart frantically and. And dipping. It's Sunday. Today is the only reason why we're able to film in this time of the day. Marty lives far. Yeah, it's not far. But Marty's traffic gets traffic.

[B]

It's the difference between an hour and a half and three to three and a half both ways. If you don't time it right and get out.

[A]

That's ridiculous, actually. So say Marty live 40 minutes away. Maybe 30. Like I do.

[B]

Just in general.

[A]

We go to the gun range right now.

[B]

Too sick.

[A]

Be able to go to do something. But hey, they bootleg has doing some. Let's just go over there on your way home. Like, cool. Meet me there. There's a whole different life.

[B]

Yeah, it'd be cool to be.

[A]

You have a whole different life, dude. All the people you know live here besides your family.

[B]

Yeah, my career would probably go way further if I was on the mix. Yeah, for sure.

[A]

Yeah, I think so too. Honestly. Only reason I'm here. If I didn't have to be here, I'd live in New York right now and move tomorrow. Or Portland, one of the two. I'd be out. I love both those places. So easy to blend in those places and just live your life. I just want to wake up, all right? That's what I do. I just want to be on a routine like other people, man. I just want to be able to. I. You know, I realized the other day, Marty, I've never been able to solve my sleep problem. Since I was a kid, I've always had insomnia. I've always had always not been able to sleep. And then Rocco was telling me sleep is the number one thing. Like, kills you faster than anything. Not being. Not being rested kills you faster than a bad diet. Isn't that ridiculous? Then I find out poor sleep can increase your weight gain and stress levels. Yeah, I don't sleep. Maybe my body's losing it. Like, you can't lose weight. Our brain, it's dying. You're tired. I can't even work on the body until your brain's up. I don't know, dude. But with that little smartwatch I've been wearing to sleep, it's really, like, letting me know, dude, I'll sleep for six hours. 42 minutes of REM nothing. Deep sleep, 18 minutes, light sleep. Six hours is.

[B]

How do you know, like, in context, how much you're supposed to be getting? Does it tell you?

[A]

It shows you a rating. This is your sleep score. And my has never been high ever. So I'm gonna go get the surgery. I'm gonna deviate a septum. I'm over it, I think. I'm not breathing in the night because I'll wake up. My mouth is crunch dry because my nose is so plugged in. We're all trying, guys. So what we're saying is I need to get in shape. Mara Lopez, he's getting older. I will gladly take the reins for 20 years. I'm with it. I'm down girl from the. My mom got all weird about. I need 900 of you at every show. I don't care. I could come say, you know what's crazy?

[B]

It's called the fan base.

[A]

I'll start making money soon off comedy. I haven't made money yet. I have spent thousands of dollars to travel, hotel, pay. Rocco pay for all the food and the Ubers and the black lane to get home. That's 3K right there. Every single trip, I gotta pay 200. I'm doing it because I won't practice. I drove eight hours the other day to perform for seven minutes.

[B]

Imagine being just a regular comedian.

[A]

No, I always say every time we leave a show, I go, I thank God this is not my income. Thank God, because I can't imagine doing six of these shows a day. Well, like, I need to make rent, but also, what kind of catapult of. Of talent would you have to be to, like. No, no, I got it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, you get thrown. Like, right now. If I had to do this as a Job. You would see me at every show. I work my ass off. I'd be at every show, four shows a night. I don't give a. I'd be sitting there talking to every owner. Like, guys, every time you have this, you have that. Have this. Cool. Here's an eighth. All right, take his eighth. Let me know next time there's a slot. I'll come right in. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'd be on Jimmy Kimmel in two months with that. Kind of like, I have nothing else. Could you imagine if you had nothing else, Marty, but one thing? Yeah, you'd be the greatest in the world at that.

[B]

Clean focus.

[A]

If I didn't have 800 things going on, could you imagine, Man, I would fix my YouTube. I make another channel where I don't smoke, but I still do weed stuff. I'd be getting paid right now. But it's irrelevant to me right now because I have so much else going on. Even though that doesn't even make money. How dumb is that? I can go make money here, but, like, no push. I don't have enough time. Even though I break even, My priorities are always been up. Money's never been, like, the main thing for me, and it needs to start being. Does it make sense? Then? I'm not doing it. Like, I do so much just because, like. Yeah, we gotta stop, Marty. I know you don't. You're good at that. I am not.

[B]

No, I'm still like that, too.

[A]

No, I'm saying, like, you're. You're good at, like, this is my time, is the time I have. That's all. Because you have to structure for your family.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You have to. So that's your must do. Yeah. Must do is like, I don't have it.

[B]

I have, like, a heart out. No matter what in life, it's always been there.

[A]

There you go. I don't have it.

[B]

I don't have constant. It's been there since I was a kid. I'm always.

[A]

I don't have them. Yeah, because I don't sleep. So I'm like, I have an extra eight hours that you don't. I'll be up till six. You don't understand.

[B]

I was considering earlier, for some reason, like, the way my brain is wired. I've been with April for so long, since I was a teenager. My whole, like, reward system is me going out, bringing it back, bringing it. Like, me going out, making something happen, coming back. Check it out.

[A]

Yeah, I get that.

[B]

That's caveman, but it's like, it's definitely caveman. I realized that's. That's what my whole. It's.

[A]

Look at this snake. I. I killed.

[B]

My life revolves around that.

[A]

You have three talking birds waiting for me. My iPad's dead.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

What did you kill today?

[B]

For real?

[A]

It's not. I learned about math.

[B]

Yeah, kill more next time.

[A]

Yeah, kill some more because I had to go on a field trip. Yo, that's crazy, dude.

[B]

That's real, though.

[A]

Yeah, I don't have that. And I think that is one thing I need to fix. What is my thing? I think I need to set goals. My mom's not gonna do anything, so I need to, like, figure that out. I need to figure out how to take care of another full person that's not good with money, that wants to do stuff and have gofund and do cool stuff, but also not do anything. And I need to contribute that and package that into. How much is that a month? Okay, I got it. I'll figure it out. But I definitely need a. Rosie's always been okay with being broke with me. So it's like, if I lose all money I've ever had, she's okay with it and so am I. I need to not think that way anymore. That's all. So with that being said, Sunday, I mean, to us. I'm chilling, man. Dad just took off. I'm going to. Oh, I need to fix my sleep. If I slept in the night like everybody else and I woke up when everybody else wakes up, I'd have three hours. Where I work out, I'd have three hours before I ever film anything. Knock out all my stuff, be productive. Because right now I wake up in a panic because I've been up so late. I'm like, oh, my God, I need four hours at least. I have to be there at 10. I'm get up at 9:30, push it at 9:50. I'll be there in five minutes. In all reality, I have to do five emails. And I'm struggling on the way out going, oh, my God, I forgot to send this. Three minutes left. I'll be five minutes late. Okay. So I'm in a constant state of hurry, move, move, catches like everywhere I go. Constant everywhere I go. Even if it's to a thing I set up. Because I'm always like, I can do it in that amount of time. You can't. I need to take an hour. The second I wake up, already, I wake up to 70 messages. I text everyone back immediately. By the time I hit the floor, I'm getting Tag eight messages back. And I'm going to the bathroom reading messages while I'm brushing my teeth. I get in the shower, and I put it on the shower cubby thing, and I'm reading my. While I'm trying to take a shower. Then I get out, I rush to my computer, and I'm like, oh, my God. I do all these things. All these need to be done Now. Rock will be here in 10 minutes to film. Rocco, get started, set up this blah, blah, blah, wide. I'll be right there. You've heard me on the phone. All right, cool. It's not a way to live. It's a constant state of like, oh, my God, can I make it? So that's what I. That's my main. My main goal is to fix that. And it's something I just got to do myself. I can do it if I just do it. I have the fear of missing out. And that's why my brain doesn't want to go to sleep. It's always been that way since I was a kid. If I go to sleep, you guys are still watching cool stuff and everybody's hanging out. I don't want to go to sleep. That's what I always did my whole life as a little kid. So I would stay up and listen through the wall. Oh, man, that shit's funny. And I just got insomnia somehow. I remember I was watching Richie Rich, and my mom in the middle of it, goes, take a shower. You have to go to sleep. Oh, no. You guys are all watching Richie Rich together. There's no way she just go. And I went in the hallway and I laid in the hallway, and I peaked and watched the whole rest of the movie. Right when it ended, my mom came to check up and said, where is he? And I couldn't get up in time. She's like, you've been here the whole time. Go to sleep. I wanted to watch the movie. And that's. That's. That's it, Marty. It was the first grade. I don't know what happened. Watching Macaulay Culkin wrecked my sleep schedule. Dude never been the same.

[B]

God damn.

[A]

Yep, you got all sad. But that's why you're sick. That's why you're always sick. Yeah, I'm always hurting. Always.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, that could really contribute to all your problems.

[A]

Everything. No. Everything. Everything. I wake up exhausted every day, and it's because for five hours and I'm asleep. Four and a half of the sun's out, and I'm just sleeping. It up my room is. Have eight windows in my room and they're all around my bed and they all catch the sun. Somehow every morning, the sun rises on both sides of my house and I'm being hot boxed every day. We're just talking about getting blackout curtains. I think I need it because I. Somebody's changed. If you're like me, your something might need be something super small or bigger than that. Just try small steps. Super small steps. I give everybody advice on how to do something. I don't take it myself. It's just crazy. I can fix it. I think I'm like an instant gratification person. I can fix that. I can help you with the problem right now. I can fix it. Done. Boom, boom. You take his videos. Do it right now. Well, that's gonna take like four months. I guess we'll start now. That's my problem. Yeah, I think it's all fat guy's problem. Like, that's gonna. You want me to come back to the gym tomorrow? I'd rather be fat, man. That. And that's how it happens. That's. That's how America starts, right? Every day. That's why working. It has to be fun to you. If it's not fun, it's gonna be a video game. Like, I'm gonna get so buff. But maybe if I threw a peptide in that. Everybody I know that takes the peptides, not steroids. The peptides, like the natural ones. The. The. The ones that like activate your own. They're all. The results are insane. But also like, is it healthy? I don't know. I saw Dr. Dubrow the other day at a restaurant, but he was talking to somebody. I didn't want to bug him, but wanted to go up and ask him what peptides he recommends. Damn it.

[B]

He probably said it in the episode.

[A]

No, he's on jlps a lot. I could be wrong.

[B]

TJ Dillashaw was naming off a lot

[A]

of I would have hit DJ Dilla show. Thank you so much. I'm gonna hit him after this episode. Also be like, hey, you're not big, but you're big. After watching these guys in the bare knuckle, watching the MMA guys fighting a 6, 4, 250 pound dude that's trained is damn near impossible. Imagine fighting like a Dan Henderson. Pretty big dude, but that knows how to fight. Watching this bare knuckle dude, it's so simple. The guy's just like, there's an opening. I'm gonna punch him right in his face. And then the fight's over. Like, you can see it all. You could say you could graph everything. You can see it all. You're like, oh, he's gonna knock him out. But it's like, those are the best in the world. And it's that easy. No, it's not that easy. They're just doing it every day. You're not doing it every day. And that's what's the problem. What I'm saying is I don't want to fight anybody. Dude, watch these MMA guys is just shows me how fragile people are. Because, man, imagine getting punched once and stomped. You're dead. UFC guys are going out there like, yeah, I might die right now. Can you imagine? Every hit, you could just die. And that's my ted. Talk about ufc, dude. It's insane. I watched UFC and Bare Knuckle within the same week, which are two events in the same week. Pretty awesome. I've had a very eventful week, dude. The most eventful week ever, actually. San Francisco show still the most fun out of all the things I did this week. That. That. No cooler feeling than that, but besides that. Guys, I think we're gonna get out of here. We've been here for like, what, hour and a half? Ish. Maybe a little more. Yeah. It's a simple solo catch up episode. If you're not watching unrestricteds and you like solos, you will love unrestricted. It is this times 10. Because we could do whatever we want, say whatever, and play music and watch pretty wild clips, honestly. But they always turn into a solo episode. We always say we're not going to talk too much, we're saving for the solo, and we always end up doing an hour and a half. It always turns into that. It's never not. So for those on unrestricted, thank you for hanging out with us. We appreciate you guys. Every Friday, there is no time, but every Friday. Well, maybe there might be a time soon. We're gonna try to start pre filming them. But every Friday, guys on dope as usual, podcast.com, come check us out. It's gonna be. It's always hilarious. It's always ridiculous. Good. Okay. Marty has to change his pants. Guys. You guys don't know this, but Marty has no pants on under that camera. Yeah. Why? Woody? I'm just filing a lawsuit right now. I just don't want to talk about on the show. Marty's dick's out every episode. You guys don't see it. He's like Mickey Mouse. He has shoes on, but he's just no pants. I don't know why. Actually, it didn't start that way. That's the thing. And I just didn't want to question it.

[B]

I was gonna say there, there's some crispy, but they're not even crispy. So I got my marathon shoes on today and

[A]

I got some crispy. I read miles in these. Not crispy at all. Opposite.

[B]

I had the Nike, the. The Vapors or whatever. The. My black sneakers that I usually wear. But I wore them shits on the ATV in Hawaii sometimes are covered in like red, red dust. And I had to hit him with the hose this morning.

[A]

You shh with the hose. Damn, dad. Life. Dude, I washed my shoes off with a hose today. Like I haven't done that in a minute. I used to do this all the time. Yeah, Every time I step in dog and I have to clean this maze of dog out of my shoes, it's always the best. Marty, got anything else you want to throw out when we get out of here? I'm high. Damn, I'm high. Back to back.

[B]

Yeah, I'm just, I'm focusing now. I'm not taking on new. I'm locking in same nice chapter. Just I never feel better than when I'm just organized and got my cleaned up and locked in and everything all updated. I did all day yesterday. Organizing period.

[A]

That's what we do today.

[B]

I feel, I always feel better about going out. Like it's the best to start off the. Finish off your week like that and go into a fresh week like that ahead of it. So you're not like at the mercy of the week as much as possible.

[A]

And if you're starting a new business right now, it's not going well. Don't worry. The world economy is pretty trash right now. Everyone's sales are down. All music tickets are less. Post Malone just cut off a third of his concert tickets of his shows. And Postmodern is a massive artist. People just aren't out right now. They're not spending money right now. So if you have a small business, your Etsy business, you're this, it's not going well. Just keep it going. It's okay. The world will come back. But it's like I talk about push trees. Like dude always just breaks even. It's always just broke even for us. Nothing's changed for us. It's not like we're making more. I'll be transparent with you. We're a big ass company in the community. But no clothing companies are really making money right now. There's not a lot of Popping brands. Like, there used to be Fairfax. It's literally a ghost town that used to. That's like watching a river dry up, you know? Like, it's like a riverbed over there. It used to be rushing. It's weird. The world is just in a weird time. I think we hit an alternate universe, and right now we're in the boring one. But it'll come back, dude. Something's going on. Don't know what it is, but it'll come back. So if you have a business, you have something new you're starting, don't take it to heart. It's not you right now. Just keep trying. If you're making content right now and it's not working, keep going. Because if you're making content that you make and not, like, example, perfect example. Somebody said, there's a. There's a. There's a video I thought I saw was really funny a couple weeks ago or a week ago, this guy. It's like, man, no sleeping. It's totally okay. I'll be fine. And he picks up this red ball and he, like, bouncing. He's in the gym. He headbutts it. And then it cuts to what it really is. He picks up a kettlebell. He's dead asleep on the ground because he threw it up because he's, like, sleep deprived. I was like, huh, I see 40 fitness influencers do it. Caption as if they thought of it. There is so much out there that aren't parries, that are direct ripoffs of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Adolescent reptiles in the sewers. Like, it's the same. You're just stop ripping each other off. It's just. It's. It's. It's crazy, dude. Yeah, cool idea. You're just gonna do it without saying, hey, I saw somebody do this. It was hilarious. Here's my take on it. So if you're making content, the world is bored of content right now because they're seeing the same over and over and over and over from a different creator. Same exact stuff. So if you're making content, just keep making it. You'll find it. You ever see people like, I can't believe I found this on my page. Thank you. You'll start getting those. Once you start getting those, you'll know you've found your little. Your little lane. Just keep making content that you like, not content that you think people will like because you saw it and they liked it already. That's like making a song and changing up the word in the same cadence. The same Beats like fool you. We already have this. Stop biting each other. So if your goal is to make content that other people make, you just repurpose it and redo it. Good luck, dude. But if you're out there making content because you really like it, just keep going. If it's not working right now, it's because the Internet's kind of dying right now. I'm just letting you know that it's on the downward right now. It'll come back up. And when it comes back up, you'll already be there. You'll be there for a while, making contacts. You didn't stop because all the people that are copying people will eventually stop making content because you can only copy people for so long before people just don't care anymore. So that's my other rant. If you're out there, just keep doing it. Because, like, my YouTube is doing terrible right now. I'm getting absolutely no love from YouTube at all. And it is what it is. I'll keep making my con. I know what I like to do. I'll keep doing it. I didn't make it for money anyway, so it's fun to me. If that's what boat you're in, just keep doing it, dude. You'll always hear people content like, oh, I made content for years before it finally took off. That's fine. That's super cool. Keep it going. If you have a podcast and you just started it, it better be really interesting, because everybody in the world has started a podcast in the past two years. And there's a reason why podcasts aren't as big as they were. Because there's 9,000 of them, dude. Why go on your podcast and I can start my own? Is what every rapper thinks, Every athlete thinks. This dog, you only have, like, 10 stories, and I'm over it. Like, go on podcasts. If you feel you need to make a podcast, make sure you got something to talk about. You have a community you're talking to. Because if not, dude, you're just buying equipment for no reason. People have something to say, but do you even care about it? And if you can't answer that question, don't start a podcast, dude. Just have fun with your homies. Other than that, make it. If you have something to say, it's gonna be fun. Do it. If you think you can do great, make it. So everybody out there starting podcasts, starting content, or already in it, it's not going well. Just keep trying. It'll work. And if you are doing that, it's Already working. Well, take my advice. Or don't you already know what you're doing? But for everyone out there, like, what can I do? I'm a new content creator. That's my advice. Do that you think is cool. Not listen that you think. Not that other people already did. You're just doing it again. You didn't think of that. Do that you think of. I like making parodies of popular. I'll make it, flip it, make fun of it. That's just because it's funny to me. It's not my content. I don't give a about that content. I make videos. Making that content. Short stuff is just kind of funny to make fun of the masses. That's how I see it. And that's why people really like my stupid skits I used to do. I'll bring it back. I have been lately and they've been doing really well. So there it is, guys. Just make content that you think is fun. I met a content creator the other day. Oddly enough, he was our waiter. My little brother recognized him and he's like real big on Tick Tock or something. And I'm like, he's like, he's a waiter. Like, yeah, full people have jobs. Do you think because you make Tick Tock videos you're rich? Well, but is that what you think? Just because you make content doesn't mean you have hella money. The fuck. Most people have regular jobs. But even said I go online and stuff, but I was. I quit my job for a while, but this isn't paying us. I came back to my job and I still do Tick tock. Good. That's what I want to hear. Like, yeah, I'm down to work. I'm a human being. Just because I have a popularity thing online doesn't mean I can't work. So just remember that too. If you have a thing, you're like, I want to make this full time. Well, work until it is full time. Keep your job. Remember that I worked at U Haul. I still did work for my dad. I worked movie companies. I still did stuff while I was doing YouTube videos. Because you're not that cool. Dude, nobody's that cool unless you're making a million dollars and you can just do, we're not that cool. We still gotta work. You still have to do stuff. Just because you're a content creator doesn't mean that's your job. It could be your hobby and your side income until it takes off. That's my advice for small creators. Keep your job because I have Four other jobs. They're called my businesses. I work on them all day. You have to. All right, that's the end of my rant before I get the out of here. Long high rant. Okay, Marty, if you give one piece of advice to somebody that wants to be marketing editor or editing agency or something that you do, what's the one thing you would tell them you could do right now with the tools of today? Not one thing. What's. Give me a 30 second pitch. That might be three ideas in one. Or it might be like, get this, you download that, you're going to use that. That way it's not one thing because you're like, oh, I should have told about Adobe. Oh, I should have told my task manager. I should have told my boom. Like somebody's asking an elevator. Be like, I gotta take a. As soon as this door opens, I gotta go. I'll give you advice. Like something quick. So something.

[B]

The best advice that I could give you is to. Is to not get caught up in any. If you're gonna get caught up in anything, have it be experience. Don't get caught up in the gear. Don't get caught up in the education side of it. Don't get caught up in worrying and trying to get clout and all this type of. Just get involved and then go from there and get involved in things that make you uncomfortable and that you haven't done before. Different aspects. Digital media. And then once you get an understanding, if you're able to get with a company that already does that and you can kind of learn from for free, do it. I always have had an aversion to working for companies. My whole goal was to never work for a company. It was just to be my own boss. That is a very. But also it's like not. You got to think of it as partnering with companies. You know, you can be your own company and they can hire you and. But you can learn so much and then over time you decide what you're going to kind of master and really specialize in and focus on and be great at. But if you're going to get your degree, don't be like, I'm going to go get my degree and then I'm going to go start working. You got to be two knees deep in. While you're getting the degree, that's what's going to matter. The, the experience is going to matter more than the degree and the equipment you can get along the way.

[A]

Yeah. You know, people have met with degrees that suck.

[B]

Yeah. Nobody's ever asked me about my degree, by the way. It's really never come up.

[A]

My experience matters. I don't care if you know, you know how to build a house, do it then. I don't care if you went to school.

[B]

Yeah. If you're lucky enough to have some sort of mentor that's gonna. If you can. If you can somehow get somebody with real experience to. That's going to be there to kind of hold your hand or answer your questions. Value that and just. Just go with it and appreciate it. That I didn't get somebody like that till I was 15 years into this. Somebody that could kind of answer questions like the basics, connect dots, help me out a little bit, you know? So it's just. It's all about just getting out there. And it's not gonna be fun. You gotta be like, I got. I'm trying to get uncomfortable for these, like, for the first five years I'm gonna get. I'm gonna throw myself in the deep end and I really don't know what I'm doing.

[A]

Yep. That.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That's what it is to it. Throw yourself in the demons. Why I didn't. I went here. Move me to downtown. I needed to be in the worst part ever. So I know how bad it could get, dude.

[B]

Chaos.

[A]

Try it. Thanks. Good advice and great advice. The gear, everything else. Trying to be cool, Be good. Be good at what you do and show up and do it right. That's all. Don't cut quarters. Like, I'm still thinking of like a goofy thing I did when I was five. Be that guy. Like, oh, man, I'm not gonna let you do that. Because then you're like, remember that time you that thing off even though you didn't need to. I'm gonna quit. That's it. I'm gonna go work somewhere else too. Because I can't live with this. Be. Be embarrassed enough for yourself to make sure you. Nothing bad ever goes out. There's something shitty goes out. And you're like, yeah, I'm okay with it. That's your standard. You find another team. Because I don't want you on my team. Like, it's that serious.

[B]

I needed to haunt you.

[A]

Yes, I need. That girl ate on the stage and fell. I'm still thinking about it, dude. When I didn't say anything to her, I'm still thinking about it. Dude pissed me off. And when he said she gave you gold, I don't ever want to hear that again. I don't ever know. So. Yes. But Marty said what? I said combine it. Find your way into. Oh.

[B]

Invent a new way to hold the joint.

[A]

I like this. Like, what's up, man? If you needed your fingers. Look,

[B]

this whole time,

[A]

It's all simple. This is the way a monkey would do it. I like it. Okay, I'm gonna get out of here. We're talking about animals now. Thank you guys so much for being here. We appreciate you.
