And then the guy goes, yeah, you got scared and it senses your fear. And then, oh, God. Thank God she didn't make any high pitched noise. Like the sound of an animal, like suffering, you know, I mean, you ever hear like a dog toy, you know, when they bite on it, it Makes that high pitched noise. It excites the predator in him. And so I say to Nia, I go, how far into this show before they show us somebody who got killed? I go, I say, about 17 minutes. They didn't. It was at the end of the show and they were just like two weeks after we left. This fucking woman, basically the housekeeper comes in, all right, she didn't fucking do anything. She's not like these fucking guys who for some reason, like, it's, it's just total like male ego shit trying to outdo the other fucking rich guy down the street that they get these things. They don't know anything about the animals. They fucking. At least that's the way it was presented. They didn't know shit about the fucking animals. And then they were like, no, the thing has a better life living here. It's walking around in a fucking cage. You know, it's like, dude, would you want to walk around in a cage? I mean, you could always get knifed. You could get killed the same way an animal couldn't in the wild. It's a fucking lion. Who's killing a lion other than another human being? So anyways, this fucking housekeeper came in and she got mauled by these fucking lions. And they bring the woman in and the guy tried to say a dog did it. And they were like, these injuries are a little more than a dog. And then the owner is like, well, whatever do you mean? It's like, well, she's missing her left arm and the claw marks on this. And he. So you know what the fucking asshole did? He had three lions, he went home, he shot all of them and then burned their bodies out in the desert so he, you know, so nothing would fucking happen to him. And it was just like, oh, yeah, it's like, yeah, there you go, there you go. Fucking inevitable. They had like cheetahs. This guy's riding in a fucking six wheeled Mercedes with a fucking cheetah. And that woman's getting in the car going, oh, it's, it's, it's acting just like a dog. It's panning, it's looking out the window. Maybe they had to get somebody. I'm not saying she was not a smart person. She just wasn't very aware of the situation, I feel. And I just kept hearing like it was back in the day, like 50 Def Jam comics did bits about how white people with wild animals. And so in a way I'm like, oh, this is good. For once it's not white people being idiots with wild Animals, you know, now it's Arabs. Let's, let's, you know, take a little heat off a whitey and then they bring this white lady in there and she fucking does everything that, you know, every one of those bits says that we do. So anyways, let's get to some of the, some of the reads here for the week if I can. If my computer is going to tell me to fucking, I don't know, update something. Oh, Jesus, here we go. Here we go. Wait, I have to promote this thing real quick. All right. I was supposed to promote this Regular Hero year in review. You can donate now and be a regular hero to change your life. Today. These people work around the world to help the disadvantaged. They, they are another. Yet another non profit. And I'm assuming that because it's on my podcast that this is a, this is actually a legit one. You know, they help out with Hurricane Matthew, Skid Row at Risk youth. Oh, Regular Hero show. Oh, fuck, I've done one of these. Oh, this is. What's this? Steve Simone think? Right? The regular Hero show has been a great fun awareness raiser. Thanks to comedians Bill Berg, Gabriel Iglesias, Dane Cook, Daniel Tosh, Chris Hardwick, Chris D'Elia, the World at the world famous Comedy Store in the Improv. Yeah, this is actually legit one. You know, in a world where so many of these nonprofits are a complete horseshit, this is actually a legit one, which is a very nice thing because everything's a fucking nonprofit. Like, you remember that, that, that lady from a couple months back, she, she lost her job at that nonprofit, yet another nonprofit, when she said that horrible shit about Michelle Obama, you know, and of course wrote it like a dope. She said something like, it will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified first lady in the White House. You mean that trophy wife? What, because she wears a red blouse, all of a sudden she's, you know, a better person? She wrote, I'm tired of seeing ape in heels. Not an ape in heels. And ape is capitalized like it's. I don't know, somebody's name or some like that. And so of course she gets, she gets bounced out of this nonprofit, she gets fired, because everybody knows that makes you less racist. You're racist. And then you lose your job and then you go, oh, wait a minute, what was I thinking? Everybody is equal. So anyways, then the, the fucking mayor from this town, Clay county or something, Virginia, Virginia, West Virginia, I guess, backed up her goddamn. Why you would do that? You know, even if you were racist, you think you'd be smart enough to keep your fucking mouth shut? This person co signed and what the other person said and then the mayor had to fucking resign. So anyways, they actually. So they fired the first lady who said it from the Clay County Development Corporation. Nonprofit. They're a corporation that develops shit, but it's not for profit. Well, let me ask you this. How is this woman not homeless? I don't get how you work for a nonprofit and you're not homeless. If there's no profit, how do they pay you? This is what all corporations do. I'm in business. I'm in business with a certain corporation that claims a 90 to $180 million loss a year. And the people I work with are buying mansions out here, redoing them. I don't know how that works. That's actually a different thing because they're not considered a nonprofit. They're considered a business entity. And if you don't show that you've earned any money, then you don't have to any taxes. So the corporation does it. But then everybody draws a salary. Now you have to pay taxes on the salary that you drew. But however, if you just say you're not making a profit, you don't have to pay any taxes. And I would think that all that extra money that you didn't pay taxes on you then just disperse amongst your employees. Right? So rather than making a million a year, you make 2 million a year and then you pay taxes on that. Right. I don't know how it works. I don't, you know, I'm too stupid to figure out how that works. But for the life of me, I looked up this non profit trying to figure out what the they do. I cannot, I can't figure it out. So anyways, they fired this lady and then like a month later, they just reinstated her. They just reinstated her. And I don't know, to me that is the Trump influence. I think that that's what everybody learned from Trump. It's just like you just say, hey, you know, that's locker room talk. Or you know, all right, he's fired and he comes back, you know, I'm back. Yeah, you know, I left for six weeks and I'm back, you know, and what, what I love with media is there's no follow up after the first story. The first story is done. There's this, the whole fucking, everybody flipping out, let's go burn the witch. And then once it dies down, then you just bring the person Back and nobody, they've moved on to something else. I don't know. It's really bizarre. I just don't know how somebody could be in business with somebody like that. It's nuts. Anyways. All right, all right. So according to the emails, somebody wanted me to look at this thing and it simply says crazy Asian sport. Saw this on Reddit and needed you to see it. Merry Christmas, twinkle eyes. All right, let's see what this is. Oh, my God. All right, let me hit pause here. This is basically. This is. I want to go to this. All right, there's this whole group of dudes, they're all dressed in white. Oh my God. They're all huddled around a pole and there's a guy sitting on top of the fucking pole. And then another group of dudes come in wearing orange shirts and the fucking. They all have on like Olympic boxing headgear. And when the fucking orange dudes come in, they're trying to knock the guy off the pole. This is like fucking ants fighting each other. Dude, you fucking asshole. How can you show me this and not tell me what sport this is? They try to knock the guy off the fucking pole. What is this called? And what happens is basically everybody gets piled on. Once the orange crew comes in, oh, there's a weak guy, he turned, he ran the other fucking way. They start jumping up on top of each other. Oh my God, I would be so fucking claustrophobic. It's basically like a rugby scrum. If you could throw fucking punches and you climb and just imagine a rugby scrum. And rather than the ball, one of the rugby dudes was sitting up on a pole and they're trying to fucking knock him off. Wow, dude, they're just kicking each other in the face. I, I swear to God. You know, how the did I get so lucky to be born in this goddamn country where they at least pretend to give a about your well being. And you're like, that is a fucking hardcore sport. You know what? Hats off to fucking Asia right there. I would love to see them try to get. This is barbaric. You know, try to do it in our country. Like, as everybody's listening from America, my country, I should say this is barbaric. This is, this is promoting violence against people with different kinds of shirts on. I mean, I don't even understand what is it? What is, what is the purpose of this? Can you please tell me the name of that sport? Am I ever going to get over this cough? I haven't smoked a cigar in forever. I'M getting eight hours sleep. Not really. You know, Nia's tossing and turning every minute now. I literally, you know, I, I, I sleep in bed for like half the night, and then after a while I just end up going upstairs and I fall asleep. You know, I want to do the same thing. Like when the baby comes, I'm just gonna be. When the baby cries too much, I'm just gonna be like, you know what? I can't deal with either one of you. And I'm going to go upstairs and I'm going to put on an evening gown like Mariah Carey and lay here with my fucking diamonds on. I don't know, maybe it's just for the show, but I just look at it like this person is out of there at some point. Has just completely lost touch of reality. There's something about that when you get like backup dancers and they're all hanging on your every word and they literally want to be you. Like, there's no way to keep, keep yourself tethered to any sort of fucking reality. All right, advice. Age, different story. First of all, did I talk about everything I wanted to talk about this week? Oh, let's talk about how you guys doing with your cardio? If you're late to the podcast, you can still start right now, man. I've been trying to do a half hour cardio every single day because, you know, between Thanksgiving and New Year's, you eat all of this fucking shit, you put on weight, and then you got, you just start the year behind the eight ball. Behind the eight ball, right? I was like, I'm not doing that. So as of December 1st, I've been trying to do cardio, a half hour cardio every single day. And of course I fucked up, right? I. What did I do? I made it through the first 11 days. And then December 12, I had a busy morning. And you really got to knock it out in the morning, which I didn't. And the day got longer and longer. And then I came home, Nia was watching some fucking tv and she was just like, I need comfort. And I was just like, all right. Acting like I was a good husband rather than like, I don't wanna get on that fucking elliptical again. So I missed a half hour on the 12th, 13th, I did my half hour. So I had 12 out of 13 days. 14th I missed. Then I was like, fuck, this is becoming a trend now. I owe that machine down there 60 minutes plus the 30 for today. That was Friday, December 15th. So I got on that elliptical, baby red cakes I got on the thing and I did an hour and 11 minutes, 71 minutes out of the 90 minutes. I just looked at it like it was a basketball game or a sporting event. And I was down by 90 points. And so the next day I started my day, I was down 19 points plus the 30 I had to do. And I ended up doing an hour on the elliptical. So now I was up 11 minutes. And then I liked the. I liked the results of doing a fucking hour. So then on say I did an hour and four minutes. So then, now I'm up. I was down 90 minutes. Now I was up an hour and 15, also known as 75 minutes. And then yesterday I did an hour and 15 minutes. Minutes. So I don't even know what I'm up at this point. 45 minutes plus an extra 45, I'm actually up 90 minutes, something like that. I don't know what the fuck it is. I can't really remember. But all I wanted to do, I was going to do a half hour every day and that was going to be so 31 days. That would be 15 and a half hours of cardio. But now I think I'm just going to do hours every day for the rest of the year. I weighed myself the other day. I was 177. Now when I came back from fucking Europe, I was a buck 90. So I've taken 13 pounds off since. Since that trip. So I don't know, it's all about the fucking cardio. I would love to do that, you know, if I. If. You know what the reality is, is if you got an elliptical every day and did fucking 60 Minutes, if you just did that, you know, and when you do that, when you put together a playlist, that's when you got to love. I tell you, you got to love like bands like Iron Maiden when they have six seven minute songs, you know, at least the songs are at least four minutes, which is a huge chunk, you know. And I just put my sweatshirt over the clock and I'm just like, I. I just peek at the clock after every song's done. All right, so if you're just doing a half hour of cardio, you got to listen to Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. It's a 13 minute song, you know.
