Yeah, get it on, got to get it on. No choice but to get on in the mandate. You get it on. Legendary, comedian, earthquake is in studio. Good to see you, my friend. Good to see you, my brother, my brother, my brother. I was interested when I was reading up on you coming in today that you were in the Air Force for years. Yes, nine years. Nine years. Yes. Is that an odd number to be in the service? Well, I mean, I wanted to do 20, but the wool broke out. So, it's mostly you hear four years, and then I re up for another four years. Right. But nine's an odd number. Well, I've read up for another four, and then I wanted to get out, then they had the wool broke out, and I was, since I loaded missiles, they had us on stop loss. That's the very important people, certain if a war break out, that long contract you got. It's a stop loss that you cannot, you essential that you kiddin' get out. So they mandatory extended you, because your job is loading up in munitions? Yes, I loaded aim 9s, aim 7s on F 15, nuclear weapons on B 52s. Well, we got to get into that, because that's interesting to me. Yeah, I mean, I dropped one one time though. On the ground. Yeah. I want to hear about that. By the way, B 52s have been in use for like 65 years. It is perfectly old plane. That is perfect. So you were in charge of loading ordinance on those planes. Yes. Always nuclear or not always. Not conventional, it all depends on the aircraft. F 15s, usually no, didn't have nuclear. B 52s did. Oh sure, yeah, bombers versus fighters. Yeah. You know what's interesting? I think I was working on a production once, and we'll circle back to this, but I was looking at one of those rigs that they keep the cameras on with the wheels. If you picture those in Hollywood, you jack them up with your foot that come up, you let them out, they come back down again, they maneuvered. They're totally precision, right? Right. So I'm a mechanical guy, so I was just sitting on set and I was looking at the camera guy. And I said, wow, that's a really intricate rig. It's really interesting. And he goes, guess where they're made? And I just went Germany. Hello, like it's Germany. It's not Mexico. It's not Jamaica. It's Germany. That's who makes that shit. And then he goes, yeah, it's made in Germany. I go, of course, it's made in Germany. Then he said, you know what they're originally for? Loading up bombs. If you picture one of those camera dollies, right, the jig and the thing that scissors up and lifts the thing from the ground all the way back, you go, oh yeah, that's what Germans use to put bombs in airplanes in World War Two. Yeah, we had, they were jammers for us, you know, the rack that goes into the belly of the B-52. That is incredible. By the way, they're going to operate the B-52s through 2050 and they were started in the 50s. Yeah, it's effective aircraft. And where were you? Okay. Box Hill Air Force Base. That's the street port Louisiana, but Bocha City, England Air Force Base, when I worked on F-15s and Okinawa, Japan. Oh, oh, you went to Okinawa? Yeah, I was there for two and a half years. How was Okinawa? It was hard because there wasn't that many women. So you have to compete. It's like 500 men to every one woman. Competition was fierce. Yeah, that's where the sense of humor comes at. Yeah. You get turned up. You can have an unattractive woman and you, nobody held it against you. Yeah, because of the sheer number. Yes. It'd be like being in a male prison and getting your hands on a woman. No one had that against you. But we used to do like fantasy island. We used to catch the unattractive women when they first landed on the island before they found out they was attractive when they was at. You're saying when they came in from the states? Yes. And they were in the service? Yeah. We used to be the, uh, man, my friends used to be the welcome committee. Right. And we get them before, you know, because back in the states, they were a three or four. Yeah. But on Okinawa there were eight to nine. Fifty. Well, I don't know if it goes higher or ten. But they go high. But they go high. Yeah. And at some point it would dawn on them that that's where what was going on. And you had to get them before they found out. Yeah, before they got briefed by other women. They let them know what it was. And it's nothing like being turned down about unattractive women. Yeah. Constantly. Oh, oh. Yeah. It makes, that's where you learn to drink it. I did have a time. I remember once at a, like at a bar or a club looking at a woman that I, I sized up as about a five. And I thought, you know, I just need something. You got confidence builder. So I just go over there and grace her with my appearance. And I just showed up and I just said, mind if I sit down and she looked up and she went, Why? And I went, oh man, this is bad. I thought, this is going to be easy. So now that's on the base at Okinawa. Right. What about off the base at Okinawa? Well, it was back in the day. And Japanese women didn't mess with many black men unless she was Michael Jackson. And a lot of brothers dressed up like Mike. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do they, um, you know, first of all, you had to overcome the language barrier. Uh-huh. And then, you know, the color barrier part of it. But the only black person that they knew from the state was Michael. And so some brothers come there, get off base, get the jury carol, bring a little carol down the middle, shoes on with the white on the top level and go down the and dance like Michael and no good on Okinawa. I mean, Najo, I forgot the name. Is it beautiful there? Yes, it is. Yes, it was very beautiful. Great outman. Hmm. Does, um, so you're, you're kind of limited to whatever women were on the base. Yeah. The numbers were 10 to 1. 500 to 1. It was fierce. Yeah. And you're a young, virile man. Yeah. And two and a half years has a long time to be somewhere without a lady friend. Well, I did well. You did. Yeah, I mean, for the numbers, because you were in the greeting department. Well, I catch up with what a self-esteem was down. Hmm. You know, so how would it work? Um, you know, it's like, uh, the new recruits come in like, Tuesday and Fridays. And, uh, you know what time the play is coming in, because, uh, and you just sit there and shit come in there. You're like, hey, how you doing? Welcome to Okinawa. I'm going to show you around. I'm Sergeant Strowman. And, um, and she's not used to a good looking dude like me talking to a like that. And I knew I had about 72 hours before I closed the deal. If I don't close the deal, 72 hours, she'd get a scouting report and find out she could hold out for a better deal. And how the, how the military feel about that, if they found out about it? Would you get in trouble? No, you were getting in trouble, does it? I mean, you weren't making them, um, it wasn't, uh, making women do anything they wanted to do. It was just, honey, it was no different. Instead of catching them at the club, the NCO club, you caught them when they first got here. But, such a police, um, we had a vanish because we went T.D. Why and we was a temporary, uh, assignment. We'll go to the Philippines, we had was reverse. So many women there, you know what I mean? So we'll go there every three months. And you go over there, man, and you get 15 women for a bag of oranges. Really? Yeah, about $4. Happy for oranges. Yeah, man, you have to learn the word in, uh, Filipino, Hindi. I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, because they were, they were solicit, you know, yeah, so did you get off the base? And then come here, come here, come here, and then they'd be like, man, G.I. I knew you weren't. You're like, oh, no, Hindi, Hindi. It was, it was just wide open for sex that way. Oh, it was beautiful. I had this one chick was over there. She was half black, half Filipino. One of the most beautiful women of it in my wife, um, should have ever seen. And it was like, you know, of course, her father was a soldier that, you know, and pregnant is her mother. And then he got orders and left, right. And, um, I ran into it. She was beautiful, but I had to leave it right there and then couldn't take it back to the States. When I, no, I didn't make it. I had a, I had a, like a cousin that was in the military and brought home like the Filipino wife. And she started a prostitution right behind his back. Oh, that's what they do. I mean, they don't have to do it. No, what happens is they get over here and, um, it was the funniest thing in the world, you know, my wife friends be like, quick, I say, why, you just met him, Tom? Well, she does everything. My mother does. Plus, give me some pussy. I'm like, okay, well, that's a big way. And you only know him for a while. So he, he, uh, he a maker of citizen, the Marriott. And then he'll bring her back to the States, which we called the world. Because United States is called the world in the military. And soon as she get her citizenship and bringing her family over there, she in the NCO club, getting the man she really won't be with. Uh-huh. They bring their moms over, right? They bring the family and everything. That's what, that's what this one did. Yeah. And before you know it, and then they put them out. Yeah, you have a base house and in the military, if you have any problem with your wife, any domestic part of it, what they do is they remove you from, from the home and allow you all to go through counseling and she has the home right then and there. So they know what they're doing? Yeah, it was a racket. So how did you go from this and tell me about the time you dropped the newt? Oh, I was, um, that was in Boxdale, Louisiana. I was trying to go see two live crew. And they had me, um, doing the rotation of ordinance. And I told them I wasn't working today because, um, Luke was coming in. And that's when Luke just came out, two live crew with all them bad women. My mind wasn't focused. And I was trying to see Luke and I thought I put the missiles up the right way and they're dittin' and they pulled the rack away like you said previously. Wrung it down and it just popped and hit the ground. And everybody started running. I said, you can't not run a newt. Yeah, you mentioned run toward it. Make it easier. I mean, I was just sitting down and just, and pray to God. How big was it new? Who's a big turn? That was a deep 62, about a two-ton bomb. About two-ton. Yeah. But they need to arm them, right? Yeah, Luke said I wanted the most safest, um, ordinance because they have to drop it a certain hike. Right. All the, um, um, mechanisms to go off and everything. Yeah, you just, you just can't fall. Convention and bombs are falling. But it like fell and hit the ground. Yeah, bounce around. Uh, bounce one time. Uh-huh. Boom. 2000, as it's six foot long and two feet a while or something. No, it's long. It's, it's, um, my measurements are not that good, but huge. It takes the whole bomb bay, excuse me, of, um, I'd be 52. Yeah. It's incredible how much those planes can lift. Yes. Weight-wise, is it not? Yeah. You know, the craziest visual is, is when they take one of those M1 Abrams tanks, or four of them and they start loading them up into the back of those C-130s. Yeah. And I'm like, you're going to take off with a tank, multiple tanks in the belly of your airplane. And they just take off. Yeah. It's kind of nuts. It's very nuts. And it's nuts that needed ride. What we call a hop and you sit and write beside it. What do you, if you sat behind, um, when you wanted to go like leave, open down and go to the Philippines, you jump on one of the planes, that's going over there, taking the tanks and you sign up for it and you ride, hit your ride. I, I know it's all physics and I know it works, but sometimes I'm on a Southwest flight and there's a fat guy sitting next to me and I'm like, oh, we're in trouble. We're not going to make this like that. I couldn't, and that guy's 280 pounds. I couldn't imagine standing. Look, hey, Andrew, look up an M1 Abrams tank. It has to weigh. It's got to be 15 tons. It's got to be 20 tons. What do you think? I don't know. To be honest, I'm still in my mind. And fat dudes in the side doing you being silly. Well, it's visually, I understand logically, but psychologically, let's see, but 55, approximately 55 to 70 kilograms. I don't know what that is. See, between 60, yeah, 1670 tons. Okay, a full size SUV weighs about 6,000 pounds. And this is, this is tons. So it is like flying with 25 SUVs plus in your, whatever, and it just lifts right off the ground. Yeah. And you sat next to it. Yeah. And it striped down and everything. Yeah, but what you're just thinking about the women you about to see in the Philippines, you know, you stuck on the place they ain't got no women. And you're on your way to the Philippines. You're flying the back of a bird. So you're going, you're in a place with very slim pickings. Slim. And you're going to a place that's like a golden chorale of pussy. I mean, everywhere. Perfect. And it's a flight, by the way. I forgot, but it wasn't that long. Not that long. No, wasn't that long. Yeah, time flies when you got it. Oh, when you're thinking about it. Yeah. And it was affordable. Because the plane's going anyway. Right. And you're just deadheading it on that. Yeah, you just signed up in spank. I forgot the priority based on your rank or whatever. And you once you bystand by, we call your name, and you get on there. So how do you get from doing that to doing comedy? The world broke out. So I, you know, I said, I didn't want to stay in it. Sorry, which one? The golf world. The first one. First golf world. Yeah, that one. And I said, I can't stay in here. I don't mind practicing for war, but they about to fight for real. And what they was fighting for, I wasn't, I didn't think it was where I was fighting over no or I didn't even have a car. So I just said it was time for me to get out. And I just got out and went to Atlanta and opened up my own comedy club. Oh, you opened up your own comedy club? Yes. Most people just start doing open mics and work their way up into featuring or emceeing or something. They don't just open a comedy club. Well, you do that when the comedy club that was based in there wouldn't give you opportunity. So what happened? What's the story? Well, I kept auditioning and was told that this time I actually was going to be going up and opening up for the late Paul Mooney. And so you're, but you don't have any experience before still in open mics and that kind of thing. No, I was, I was still doing comedy around Eggland Air Force Base. Oh, I got you. You were doing something. You were then spotting Tim Wilson and type of dudes. Just doing those type of thing. And doing a little hosting on top some blues in the military. And when it's time to get out, say, let me try this out and see what's up and kept trying to do the comedy clubs there and the only black club was there was the Comedy Act Theatre. And I was doing coconuts and that type of stuff and telling women, I'm a comedian. They said, well, you're going to perform at the Comedy Act. Because if you didn't work at the Comedy Act in that city, you wouldn't. Comedy Act? Comedy Act Theatre. Had Robin Harris and everything. It was legendary. He was the top black comedy club. And on the told me, OK, you be able to work this weekend and open for Paul Mooney. So I told all the women I was trying to sleep with. You can come see me this weekend. When I came up there dressed ready to get on the stage. And I said, what time I go on? And he said, you're not on this show. So he told me he was. And I know you're not. I don't let people open for Paul. And one of my good friends named I'm Sherman Golden said, get you, did tell him that. So I called my mother and I was like, this is my little comedian. Let me open up at the club. And she said, just get your own club. Like I told you, people don't let you ride the bike. You got to get your own bike. I said, you can't just open your own comedy club, mama. And she said, good question. Why not? You say, well, why not? I went and found some investors and opened up my club and closed this club down. It closed this club down? Yes. Wow. And like, what was your club before you got it? Was it a restaurant or a bar with a club? You built it out. We built it out from scratch. Just an open space. Uh, open space. Yes. Called it uptown comedy corner. And how many cedar? 270. That's a decent sized club. Yeah, Christopher helped me. That's a good sized club. We opened it because he had the punchline in Silver Springs and he helped us do it. We carry out do. So you build the place out. Yes. You obviously now you can perform there. Yes. It's kind of funny because I was trying to get into the groundlings and they threw me out of the groundlings after being there for like five years. And I went and started my own improv troupe and then actually built the theater, the acme theater. And I did the same thing. I'm like, if you, I got to be able to perform it my theater. Right. So they can't throw me out of this. It's basically it's my ball. So I get to play. Right. Right. So you built this place out. I did the same thing with acme. It's just a square building with a roof and four walls and we just built it out inside. You just built out the inside. Right. We built it all out. And you get to have to get a liquor license and everything. Milk liquor food the whole night. And and then start to get and start playing there yourself. Yes. And getting acts to come in. Well, it was hardly getting black acts because my partner was white. So they, you know, being in a line of doing a time and a line is a real black city culturally very. And the black comedy club put out that hand. His comedy club is running for the white dude and then did the old thing that you know as a comedian. If you perform at his club, you ain't going to be performing at my club. And they had three. They had two club there, the one in here in LA. And they had it and all the great comments were coming through them. So I had to perform myself with other open micers until Steve Harvey came and said, I performing your club. And once he came and performing my club and drew all the people, they came to see him and they discovered me and the rest of it was history. So Steve was the name that got them to come to the club. Yes. Then they discovered you. Yes. At the club. And why did Steve Harvey do that? First of all, Chris DePetta was his manager at that time. Was that your partner? Chris DePetta was. Yes. Yes. And he was managing Steve at the time. And I had new Steve when I thought about going into comedy before I got out the military. I was like, I went in swimming mobile and knocked on his door and asked him about this profession. You saw him perform at Moab and Alabama? Yes. And you knocked on his dressing room door? No, his hotel room. So you figured out where Steve Harvey was standing? Yeah. So you went and saw Steve Harvey perform at a club. Well, why don't you tell us the story? Well, I went to see him perform and then the next day I found out he was standing in knocked on his door. And he was standing up in a place where you open up the door. You are right outside in the parking lot. And I knocked on the door. He came to the door with a knife in his hand. Really? Yeah. I'm like, I don't know why he tried to rob you. I just want to ask you a couple of questions. And he let me in and we started talking and he told me all the nuances about being a comedian. And I said, okay, I'm gonna try it. Where was Steve in his career at this point? I think he was just about just starting doing showtime at the Apollo. He was a headliner, him and Jay Anthony Brown. He was doing white clothes, the blinds and stuff like that. Yeah, he was a headliner. So he was generous with this time. Yes, sat down. Yes. And remembered you later on. Yes. Interesting. Yeah, he remembered me. So now you got people coming in and they come for Steve but they see you. Yes. And that word gets around. Yes. And then now you're getting an audience. Yes. And then what? We get audience start bringing in bigger acts. Dave, you pair, Chris, Rock, everything on there. And it just exploded. And then the competition closed their doors. And then from that on we was the thing in the city. Then I opened up another one on the other side of town. And then opened up another one in Dallas. Yes. And are they still going today? No. Uptown just closed. My partner at the time, he's still in the business. I think he got ATL. I forgot the name of his club. But he got two in the line of now. My ex partner. Is it just a ton of work doing something like that? Yes, it is. I mean, because let's you establish comedy at a certain level. And people know that no matter who you put on that stage, it's going to be entertaining. It's hard because they're only going to come unless you have a name person. Right. And certain comedians have unrealistic expectations of what their worth is. Well, who I remember, I'll try to get this right. I remember, and I think I got the names right, but I made as many years ago, I remember playing the improv. And like Sacramento, like, this was 15 years ago. And we were just talking with the owner backstage. And I said, who's the biggest pain in the ass community that's ever come through here? Who are the pain in the asses? Because what's the writer? My writer was like bottle red wine and a jar of mixed nuts. And that was about it. But I said, he said, well, I think it was Eddie Griffin who needed a new pair of tennis shoes for each show. Air Force ones. Tennis shoes, right? Yes, yes. You know what? So Eddie Griffin, by the way, I would never think of a new pair of tennis shoes for every show. And I don't know if it was, maybe it was Roseanne. It was a female comedian. It was a big pain in the ass too. And Eddie needed a brand new pair of Air Force ones for each show. And a carton of cigarettes. I think I just knew about the Air Force. You just knew about the Air Force ones. But who had the biggest pain in the ass writer for you? And you know about Eddie Griffin, by the end. Oh, yeah, because he's my friend and people say it's the all the time. But I think he got down to, he don't need him every new show. Well, he must have gotten hundreds of pairs of tennis shoes. Yes, I think he donated him after. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think he donated. I really didn't have, my partner dealt with that aspect of it. I was, he was the business part of that administrative part of the partnership. I deal with the company, with the comedy. So we really didn't have too much problem with it because the respect the comedians had for me about how to honest with you. That's what I think. Yeah, you know, being in your peers and like, man, gonna do that to Quay. So you saw, and saw all these guys on the way up. Yes, everyone of them. Oh, Riley auto parts.

Was there anyone you were wrong about or anyone you were right about like where you were looking at young Chappelle or Chris Rocker? Like that. I knew Chappelle when I, um, I personally picked Chappelle up from the airport, which that usually wasn't my forte of picking up comedians, taking with the press. But when I found out how much money we was paying them, I was like, I got to see who this model is. And, um, picked them up and, um, we hung out. And he's from DC as well as I, and I'm from DC. So we clicked on that. And then, um, when he performed, I can me to say, okay, I see why. It's the intelligence of his jokes. So you can go door deals or you can go flat rates with people. You can go, here's the guarantee and then here's the door deal. And, you know, a real good deal would be 85, 90% of the door. True. That's a very good deal. Yeah. And so he'd have one of those kind of deals. Yeah, he would have those or a high guarantee. Right. If you picked the wrong person with the high guarantee, it could close your club. Has anybody ever negotiated with you like, I did go to one time in my entire career. I didn't make the guarantee. Just one time. And it was a club in Houston that was in a giant parking lot. Okay. That looked like the rainforest, the club did. All right. And it was next to the biggest bar in the world. And it was dicey and people were scared to go down there. I think it's what it was. Right. And it's tons of drunk people in the parking lot because it's next to the biggest bar in the world. Anyway, they didn't make the guarantee. And I don't know, the guarantee was 20K and we made 10K. Whatever. And the club owner, and I knew it because nobody showed up. And the club owner came out after the shows and he just went, I know we had a deal for 20, but all I made was 10. And I said, let's call it 15. And then that was that. But does that ever happen with your club? Yeah, I mean, what would the policy be? The policy, you got to get the money. Most people just got to give me the guarantee. But see, you, you, the only time that that happened is if you schedule around a sporting event, like this one, the brazen. Yeah, shit happened. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, if you, if they, they fuck around and make it to the playoffs and game seven, yeah, yeah, finds on with the, usually or a big act coming there. See, that's a good thing about one of your owners, such as me, is a comedian. So we have a big like the Kings of Comedy comes. Then I headline that weekend. If they come to another venue, if they come into another venue within the city, right, they, they, the Omni and their holes 14,000. And issue constituents that's going. Right. No reason for you bring up another headline that you give me the $20,000 guarantee to. Right. So there's certain things like you make these, you get these dates on the book six months in advance. True. Or more, right? And then at some point, which you don't realize is your booked in Denver and the Broncos are playing a playoff game that Sunday, right? You know, and you're like, you couldn't have seen it six months ago. Right. But now everyone in Denver is going to the game. True. Or watching it on TV. Right. What they're not doing is going to the club. At all. Right. And, and then there are other times when somebody could be the Kings of Comedy could be Tim Allen. It just depends on who your crowd is. Blows into town. Yes. He's playing the arena and all your fans are going there. True. Right. So you have to chart that stuff. Yeah, you have to try and it could cause you a club if you don't schedule properly. Because you're on that thin margin. That in a margin and you don't want to get a reputation. Reputation that you don't pay. All right. You won't get other acts to come. Right. I was reading that you were doing a sitcom coming up with the Bill Burr. Yes. And your Netflix specials out. By the way, people want to check that out. But the the Bill Burr project for Netflix. Oh, wait. Fox. Fox. Sorry. I looked at the wrong spot. What is that? Tell us about that. It's a sitcom we develop in. And we're getting script and everything together for Fox. And hopefully, prayerly, we'll make the schedule this next season coming up. So we we we should have been issued the pilot. Yeah. No, Fox go straight to series. We need to. Oh, they don't do pilots anymore. No, they go straight to series. So they basically go. Let's look at the script. Let's look at some episode ideas. Yes, we don't need full scripts, but we need the one where your car gets on or whatever that is. And let's look at something like a little sizzle thing or anything or. I don't know the process. I just know the processes that they don't do pilots. They go straight from script to order and all. Well, you know, a pilot costs several million bucks. So it kind of makes sense that they don't. I try to keep my eyes low. I am a lord and, you know, the budget. Well, I mean, if you go, look, we got earthquake. We got billbur. Yeah, we like the script. Yes, we all have an imagination. We can see everyone can perform. Yes. So why do we need to spend a few million bucks creating some version of this? Right. That we may or may not use or that gets thrown away. Well, I guess well, just give them the money and get started. And plus they make an transition back to winning. Going into conception. They go back to old Fox. Oh, Fox is. Yeah, Mary, with children, Martin and living color. So so they're going comedy and urban or just comedy comedy comedy comedy. So Fox is getting back into that sitcom game. Yes. That's good. Yeah, in a Fox. I mean, you know, what a mandate is Fox. We're not CBS. We're not NBC. So there's a little more latitude for. A little more. A material. Yes. Fox. What is the general concept with you? Leave LA going back to my home in Washington, DC. Got tired of being out here. Never thought they're going to call me to actually give me an opportunity to LA. So with my house burned down and, LA, fatigiously and go back home to DC and, you know, be back to round my neighbors and people that I grew up with. So it's like a little slice of life. I mean, subject, you know, yes. You know, I mean, went to Hollywood. It didn't work out. Just went back home. And, um, and how's it work? Is it Bill Burr comes to you or you've got a bill or how's that work out? Well, we, um, me and Bill, I've been a fan of bills and great to know that he's a fan of mine. We both had pending deals at Fox. And he had a first look deal and I had a development deal. So we just got together and put it and put it both our projects together. Development deals are great. Are they used to be? Yeah, they used to be. I ain't no money now. They used to, it was literally the dream of every poor blue collar person who grew up, which is you get paid to stay home. And it was so awesome. It used to be them fat chicks. And they would pay a lot of money. Yeah. And they basically just go, look, we're going to just going to pay a bunch of money. Don't go anywhere else. And if you think of anything funny, come to us. Right. And that was as easy as work got. Yeah. And those were the old days because now it ain't what it was. Not his first come deals. The things are much leaner, much meaner. But it's, it makes sense. It's all the competition, all the YouTube, all the, all the stuff catching up to everybody. So I get it. And there was some real, and you know, I think there might be, there's definitely a chance for the renaissance of the sitcom. It's sort of, it's sort of was the hottest thing around. Then it kind of went dormant for a while. I could see the fox come back. I think so. I think we, we're going to be the flagship for it to give those, you know, all in all in the family, Jefferson's, that's like Murray with children type of comedy and a multi-camera. Yeah. All the family was great. Jefferson's were great. The good times are great. I just, I used to live off those things. Yeah. You know, I never really, you know, it's funny. As I think back on it, I would watch all in the family. And it was weirdly more foreign to me than Sanford and Sun. Because now see, we do too much about color. Sanford Sun took place in LA. And it was like a junkyard. And I kind of knew that world a little bit. And that kind of made sense. Like just being poor and living in LA and buying shit secondhand. I've been to, you know, garage sales thrift stores. Everything for us was secondhand junk, you know. And I identified with Lamont, Red Fox, and all that. And then Archie Bunker was in Queens. And I didn't know where that was. And even though it was a white family, I didn't identify. He was like, he lived in Queens. He worked at the docks or something. I didn't know what that was. We didn't have, I was from North Hollywood. We didn't have docks or anything. And so I tended to just identify more with the blacks it come than I did with the whites it come. But it was, it was, it was, whoever was funny kind of one. I mean, everyone I knew would watch, they'd watch cheers or white. And then they'd watch good times or black. They'd watch them both. They liked them. They're funny. I think there's too much talk about demographics. I feel like if it's good, it's good. And everyone, people will watch. You know what I feel like them. Like my mantra is, you know, I don't have a black show. I got a hit show. So that's our mentality. Yeah. My thing is, I don't have a white show. I have a failure. It's a little different, but it's the same sentiment. Okay. At least that's how it's expressed to me. That's funny. I'll write it down. And also doing a series XM as well, Quake House. And that's on, let's see, whose network is that? That's so serious. We just wrapped about seven seasons. Seven seasons. Yeah, we looked at Kevin. That's what Kevin's out on Kevin Hart's network. Yeah, but we just ended it and we might move into a new neighborhood. Same house. So we're going to find another place. What's that mean? Well, I mean, we just, I'll contract working with series and Kevin Hart is ended after seven years. And I'm about to find another place for my show to go. Kevin Hart seems like the hardest working man in the show. Yes. Is that correct? To me is, is it just go all the time? I don't know, but you act like you could take it with him. You can't take it, right? Well, at a certain point, it's not about money. It's just sort of about potential and living up to it or something. I don't know. Most of the guys I know who are real successful, they have enough money. They never feel like they do, but they do. They got enough. It's more about being relevant, being in the game, being part of lots of stuff, you know, being in the mix all the time. I would know. I mean, I don't. I don't evaluate other people's motives or reasoning, but me personally, only reason you see I'm working, I don't have money yet. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay, you take a guy like Siri Secks and we take a guy like Howard Stern. Yes. He has enough money. Now, it's not up to me to tell people who has enough money. There's plenty of people who work at Home Depot who think I have enough money. Right. But you wouldn't, you would know I don't if you lived in my shoes. So far be it for me to say someone's got no money. But he has enough money, but I think he likes to be involved. He wants to be part of the conversation. You're part of the house. Yeah. Okay, I want to be in the mix. Okay. What I don't blame him for, but you know what I mean? He wants to make news. He wants to be in the game, you know what I'm saying? And when you get out, you're out, you know what I mean? And so I think it feels like a lot of successful people I know they want to be in the game. They don't, they got enough money. Or there are two jobs that give them enough money, but why they need seven. You know what I mean? Other than Kevin has the aspiration to be a mogul. And that's what he is. And God bless him. No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. The mogul, I mean he's a mogul. He energizes him, he motivates him, and God bless him. And me, I just myself, just enough for me to be able to financially take care of the people that I love. And then I'm out. Hmm. Any earners in the family and your family? What you mean by earners? They're self-sufficient, but yeah, but I mean would it be nice to have a vacation house or something somewhere or something? Somebody dies and leaves you something. Well, no, no, we don't have that. I tell them all the time, I tell my wife, I say, I'm making enough money for me. For me is you, I don't make enough money for them. Yeah, not that she asks is what I want her to have. So that she is the reason why I work. But I make enough money for me. Is this the reason? But wouldn't it be nice to just have somebody in the family who made enough money for them and you and a cottage and a condo and Hawaii? I wouldn't even know how to act. Yeah, I'd be confusing, right? I'd be very confusing. That'd be foreign territory for me. And my family, we don't, we, we independent contract this on its own. You live, you eat what you kill. I know. I don't have anything either. I don't know what my family does, but I'm, I do hear about stories where somebody died and they had the vacation home in Palm Springs and the him and the sister got it. Yeah, or something. Yeah. Just something. Now, you know what I mean? Yeah. An old vintage expensive car that dad had for 50 years and now it's yours. Now you can get something, a warehouse somewhere, something you could rent out. Might get some tennis shoes. Some shoes. Oh, some pictures. We can get nothing that you take to the thrift store. Some a mental, you know, that's about it. Does your wife's family have anything? If they knew she never told me. Uh-huh. So, so, so, are you, are you, did your parents pass away? Yes, my parents are gone. Oh, God. What they leave you? Memories. That's the greatest line from Papa was a Rolling Stone. Memories. When he died, all he left was alone. By his side. That's the greatest. Nothing up, but I know. That's the greatest line. I just always put the song, say he left us alone. Like a loan. Right. But then I, as I got older, it was eight loans. Right. Right. Yeah, it was, was a loan. Why don't you left me something? Yeah. Good on me. Yeah, he thought it was like a mortgage or something. Yeah, he left you alone. Right. He loaned you some money. I didn't know it was a loan. He left me, I'd say, oh, damn. He had found his song, it was very sad. Yeah. I got a Tony Bennett CD from my dad. That used to be mine that I gave him. So I just got it back. Because it was autographed to me. And I couldn't figure out why it was autographed to me, but it's because I gave it to him. And I got a book from a Dennis Prager friend of mine who wrote the book. So I probably could have got the book. Right. I got a newspaper clipping. No. Of yourself? Now was it something that he wrote for the LA Times like 35 years ago? And he gave me a clipping of that. And... It's gonna make me cry. I got a bag. I got a Trader Joe's bag. Yeah, man. You need a hook. Oh my god. Now my mom did less. So... What's your mom's name? My mom did not leave her kids anything, but she did leave us a note explaining she was a good mom. But the thing that was crazy about it is it was made out to me and my sister. So it was just one note. So you didn't get no individual note? No, it was a form letter. It's like getting you a group text. It was like... It was like a letter you get from a politician. You know, you get an email from Kamala Harris. And you're like, oh, Kamala. And then at the bottom she wants money. That's basically what I got. We got left that. At least was the signature, authentic one. It was stamped. Auto pen. Auto pen. I was thinking about the other day. I was walking on PCH. I was like, she left. She made a letter, but it was for me and my sister, which is weird because we're totally different. And also I got boy girl kids. I couldn't imagine writing them just one form letter about being a good dad. But by the way, the thing about the form letter about I was a good parent, even though you don't know it, it doesn't work on the people you parented. It will work on the neighbors of the neighbors kids. It don't work for the people who are there. Right. They're on to you because they were there. But yeah, I got the note. Did you speak at the funeral? Oh my god. I think this is where we're going to park cultural ways. Mama, my dad both died. No funeral. What? See, tell that to a brother. Nothing. Nothing. No, no anything. No, hold up. They died and that's it. They died and that's it. May. There's no earn. There's no ashes. There's no headstone. There's no ceremony. There's no wake. There's no church. No preacher. Nothing. When white people are atheists, they can just die. And that'll be that. You're atheists? Well, that's my family's that way. I'm a little less. But but the point is is real atheists, yeah, white people, they just die. And they take it to the grave. No, nobody said, by, they know, grabbing the candle. No, no, no food. No food. There was, here's what I'm saying. Nothing. I'm talking, when I say zero, I don't mean 3%. I mean, no anything. There's no nothing, which is incredible. Because I think black folk do it up a little better. Yeah, that's not white. White atheists. We do nothing. Ain't that like picking up a woman at a weight? Oh, you can do that. Yeah. Because they're vulnerable. They're very vulnerable. Especially ones didn't have no life insurance. Oh, that's what you're catching right there. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's good hunting. Yeah. Because you can tell she's contemplating how she's going to maintain that standard living now. The provider is in the ground. Gotcha. That's well-own now. Well, military base. That's fertile soil. That's fertile soil. You can get it tensed on the dollar right there. Smart. Yeah. Because she know right there in that. Yeah, go to a weight. You pick them up. And you sit there coming in with a dish like some potato salad, sitting on the table. Like, bait. Yeah. Looking in the face. And she'd be like, you could tell she'd been crying, eyes puffing and anything. Just looking in the face and was wrong. And she just looked you back and said, I'm in a bind, Nate. In a bind. I got you. Smart. See, my uncle going to be over here for now now. My parents never had your parents when I said done something when they died, right? You had a whole funeral. Yeah, well, we had a funeral. I took care of it. You took care of it. For both of them. My mother and my father. You paid for both of them. Yes, I did. I buried both of them on it and headstone, headstone, everything. Headstone, everything. Thousands of dollars. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, thousands of dollars there laying beside each other. Oh, yeah? Yes. They stayed married all these years. Yeah, because when my when my mother passed first, and when I went and bought the lot, I said, well, give me I want to. They said two years, because I look at my father. I say he next. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So my was where we get both from together. So your parents stayed married for how long? 60 years. 60 years. Yeah. That's unique. Yeah, yeah, it was. And they argued 59 of them. Really? Yeah. Wow. Oh, they used to go at it. Wow. Yeah. So they never got divorced. No, no, no. How many brothers and sisters? Yeah. I got three brothers in one system. And I'm guessing since nobody could pay for the funeral, they weren't wildly successful people. Not, they could have paid, but it's like in show business, who ever got the most money, pick up to tell you. Yeah. And I'm the one. Yeah. But both. You know, I feel like you do one and then they all chip in with the other. Not got it. I bought my father-in-law's casket was $11,000. Yeah. And I paid for it. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. That was uncomfortable. Did, um, did he try to upgrade? He was gone. But, uh, not mean the funeral director, did he try to upgrade? I did not. I did not. I did not. Talked to the funeral director. That's if I had talked to the funeral director, I wouldn't have paid $11,000 for a casket. I talked to him. He did. Okay. He tried to upsell you? Yeah, he did. What do you do? He tried to give me the golden or the platinum package. That's the whole thing. Yeah, I said no. We could. My mother, my mother, my mother, my father didn't believe in fancy stuff. Yeah, well, that's what I told him. That's what you told him. Yeah. Well, look, I saved a lot of money with my mom and my dad, because that was free. Okay. My mom donated her body to UCLA medical. Oh, that's beautiful. Mm-hmm. And my dad unclear. Or he is. I don't know where he is. But he's somewhere. But, you know, it's the beauty of being an atheist. You can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you just move right along. Nothing. I don't know many people who have no idea where their parents went after they died. But it's not. I just don't know the transition, the transition, man, they gone, and then they just gone. They just, you just get the notice that they passed, and that's it. And you know, so fuck closure. That's the closure. The notification is the closure. Them dying is the closure. That's the closure. They die. And they closed. And now it's done. Mm-hmm.

It's time to check Adam's voicemail. Hi, Adam. This is Stacy from St. George, Utah. If those pronoun people want to be known as they, them, then charge them for a group rate. Problem solved. Get it on. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Alicia Kraus, birthday girl is in studio for some news. I have some news. Hey, I appreciate the lady on the voicemail. Yeah, I do. Any more checks on the voicemail. I agree. Come on, ladies. Come on, ladies, step up on the voicemail. I know you're out there. I see you in the comments. Hopefully, none of your lady fans are done in Mexico right now. There is some insane news out of there. The United States Department of State issued a shelter in place warning over the US citizens and popular tourist destinations in Mexico, including Puerto Vallarta. I'm going to butcher this, Chapala and Guadalajara. The alert also listed multiple states like Leonas places where they Americans needed to shelter in place. The warnings came after an outbreak of cartel and military violence in the region. The US State Department said that they want Americans specifically and even like some Canadians, it sounds as if the cartel is going after just like white people because they're pissed off that due to ongoing security operations, they, like one of their leaders was killed and now this is their retaliation is to just go through the streets like burning cars and killing people. Well, it's something that's pretty foreign to us, but not to them, which is they essentially have armies, militias, cartels, well-armed trained guys with assault rifles and grenade launchers and stuff who just sort of whack up the country and into regions and run a narco terrorist thing, which by the way, I want to just explain to everyone everything for just a second because the chickens are coming home to roost here in the United States, to some extent, and in Europe, certainly, there are groups and nations and lands and everyone wants to celebrate diversity. Well, they're different. They do different things. They eat different things. They celebrate different ways. They watch soccer instead of football. They don't have sandwich moms. They don't have sandwich moms. They don't even have sandwiches, some of these nations. And they do things differently. And in some of the stuff we like, some of the stuff is sort of like when you go down, I'll give you an example. Everyone that goes to Japan tells you how clean it is. True. Because they're a tidy culture. Now you can go, good, bad, I don't know. They clean shit. They like clean stuff. And that's kind of good. And very minimal. I like it that way too. I like clean stuff. So that's good. And then there are other cultures that perform female circumcisions and I don't like that. Now you go, is that a bad culture? Is it good? I'd say different culture. Some stuff you like. Some stuff you don't like. Now we have a country and we have a border with two nations. And one is Mexico and the other is Canada. And Canada operates one way and Mexico operates in a very different way. Now if you let a whole bunch of people from Canada over into the United States, there's going to be some marginal changes like putting mayonnaise on fries or something and watching a little more hockey and a little more hockey and a little less baseball. Or something. But it's going to be pretty marginal stuff. But if you take large groups of people, think a good idea to live in a narco state with a bunch of warring factions who are heavily armed and who have us saying take this to the politicians, take the silver, take the lead, either take the money or get killed. If there's a lot of those people and they come here, well expect results that are consistent with what they're doing in their state. In their country, which is consistent with every country, everywhere. So my argument is it's not necessarily that people coming into your country is a bad thing. It's what country did they leave? And the ones they're forced to leave are usually the worst ones because of things like this. But whatever it is they engage in over there, a percentage will engage in it over here because that's part of their culture just like the music or the food. And Mexico's piece of shit and it's a failed state. And I don't I don't know why that's a hate crime. But it has so much operant. If the president, I don't know, I was seeing some footage recently of their president who hates Trump and told Trump to tell her how to how to govern and all this stuff. And prior to the chaos that occurred over the last couple of days, she was saying something about like, why can't really go after the cartels because that would be a violation of their civil rights? They can't go after the cartels because the cartels are more powerful than they are. Okay. You want to I have spoken about this solution for more than 30 years until a microphone. The solution for Mexico. What will fix Mexico permanently? So it's not fixable because it's 100% Mexico and that's not good. It needs an influx of something else. Also Israel will never be fixed because it's surrounded by terrorists who are anti-Semitic and want all the Jews to die. Now it's not because they want Gaza back or they want that's two separate homelands or no, they hate Jews and they want them dead. Now if there was something in Israel where it's like, oh, the Palestinian-reasonable people, they just want a little land on the coast back or something, that's fine. That's a negotiation. But if they want all Jews dead, well then it's really tough negotiation. What I'm saying and I always said to Israel, you live in a giant ass tray filled with homicidal people that want you dead because you're successful and because they have horrible religion. Mexico needs Jews like no other state. There's no country that needs Jews like Mexico. Mexico is so short on Jews and lousy with Mexicans and that's the problem. Interesting. The Baja Peninsula, which I have driven, is some of the most breathtaking, it's where the ocean meets the desert and it is breathtaking and it's not so different than Israel. I've looked it up, average temperature, climate, everything. It's all about the same. So we need some Jews to like reverse all of you. We need all the Jews. Listen, give Israel, just give it to all of your homicidal neighbors. They'll turn into a shithole in 10 seconds and you guys move to Baja and take over Baja. Baja will now have the greatest resorts in there and in general, whether it's governance or whatever it is, you guys need Jews in Mexico. And I've always said, I said for a place that lives off of beans, they don't have a lot of bean counters. They don't have a lot of money people. They don't have a lot of accountings. I feel like we need to get you on the phone with Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkopf about this. If you did a pilgrimage of Jews to Baja, California and let them take over and start setting up businesses and start getting an infrastructure and government and all that, then Mexico would be a utopia in about 20 years. So I did not have that idea, but we are kind of simpatico on the comparison to Israel because I thought that much like it was so hard for the IDF to tamp out the regime, Hamas regime like in Gaza, because what do they do? They put themselves in tunnels and in schools and in hospitals and amongst the innocent population. Yes. And so, Hill has done in Mexico that you can't just go bomb a village where they might be because that village has innocent women and children in it that are just trying to live their daily life. Yes. And probably dreaming about coming to America one day and it's very difficult to just wipe them out. No, that's why we need to just classify them as terrorist organizations. Well, the Trump administration is like labeled them narco terrorist organizations, which was one of the things that a AOC and Alonno Mar were really upset about when he came out. By the way, if they're upset, you're on the right track. Those dumb bitches, if they're upset about something, it means you got something right. Dawson, average temp in Jerusalem. It gets chilly there. Okay. You can get cold and on Baja. Yeah. The right season. The average temp in, I don't know, let's say Rosa Rita, California, Rosa, Rosa Rita, Baja, Mexico. Let's say that's a nice little surfing, fishing village somewhere a little further down than I mean, have you seen these videos though? No, let's watch some of them because I don't know if you, if they see these videos, they might be like, never mind. We're not going to show the Jews the video. You're not going to do it. Do you hear me? Okay. I'm trying to entice them. Just be like, there's no Hamas, but you might have to tamp out these cartels. Well, when you're living with homicidal maniacs that are inventing, you know, putting explosive vests on nine-year-olds, these narco terrorists are walking the park. I mean, you got to deal with Hamas, right? But, but like I said, these guys are garden variety narco terrorists, not suicidal jihadists. That's true. These guys just don't like authority and their pissed that their cartel leader died and that maybe some of the cops aren't taking their money. Yeah, but they're just like retaliation. They don't blow themselves up in pizza parlors. But I mean, this is kind of insane that we're seeing this from the cartel. They were going, like they're just blowing up cars in Port of Iarta. They were going into the airport like shooting at people. That is terrorism style attacks that we haven't seen by them before. And we know like, especially here in Southern California, California, there's like, enough of the gang activity here that a part of me yesterday went, huh? I wonder if they're going to like call up their buddies in the States and want to do something here too. This just in. First off, Tijuana and Tel Aviv. I mean, it almost sounds the same. Travel from Tel Aviv to Tijuana. I'm one direct flight. That's like three beers from being the same place. Tijuana, Tel Aviv, you know, both on the same latitude. Line 32 degrees north. So it's they're on the same latitude. They're the same temperature. They're the same climate. The rain falls about the same average temps about the same. I guarantee everything's the same. Wow. And you have a beautiful Pacific ocean just coming up against this red clay desert spectacular. Okay. And totally undeveloped. What? Yeah. That kind of surprise Trump hasn't said that he wants to take it over and build a big resort. I'm telling you, man, gather up those Jews. Turn that place around. No, no, gather the Jews. Oh, okay. I guess a little history. Enticed the Jews. Yeah, just put together a nice brochure. I mean, I should brochure. And then we gather. And we take them. No. Take them to Baja. Okay. And it'd be we'd be a settlement type thing. We'd have incentives. Uh-huh. You know what I mean? We could have land would be cheap. Yeah. You know what I mean? Tax-free maybe. Yeah. You would say they have lots of builders. Oh, it'd be like six acres in a pignata. We'd put a kind of a thing together and they could all go there. Then I have any building codes or anything over there. You do what you want. Yeah. Freedom, baby. Interesting. And I don't know if you've been down Baja, but it is beautiful. I've only been to once a long time ago. We did a morning answer cruise. Oh, you did a cruise. You guys have to do that like a listener cruise. Yeah, I went on a cruise to Ensenada with Chimmy a million years ago. Yeah. So it was me, Ben and Brian and we did like Porto Vierta, Mazetlun and Cabo. Beautiful. Yeah, that's further down. We just did the Ensenada one. And I'm supposed to be in La Paz. Next couple of months. Oh. We get a couple of months, but I don't know. Maybe not anymore. Well, the cartel leader was killed by Mexican special forces. But apparently there was some rumblings about it being a joint operation with the US State Department, but who knows? Oh, OK. All right. Well, I don't know if there's film of it, but I'm telling you my, I stand by it, my T1, a plan. The film of it is insane. Like is this? This is the airport. Oh, there's something. I think that's your least go. People running through the airport. Yeah, just like. I haven't seen all this fire everywhere. Burning cars. Airport. People hiding behind stuff. It's horrifying. Burning buses. Wow. It is chaos, man. It's scary. And all, obviously, like all US airlines are like, peace, we're not flying in there anymore. Right. Specifically to these regions. And I guess we'll see what happens. You know, I found really weird. That's Port of Ireland, by the way. That's Port of Ireland. I've been to Port of Ireland for a few times. Party of Ireland. Wow. Yep. You know, it's weird. I was flying into like Port of Ireland or somewhere Mexico. And we were taken off from LAX. And as the plane was like an arrow, Mexico plane. And as it was taken off, the cabin, the door to the cockpit, flew open, was just flapping back and forth. And I've ever gone, that's an unreinforced door. And it's just flapping back and forth. How come it's not reinforced and locked? And the stewardess was like, it's red-shirt in Mexico or whatever. And I'm like, yeah, but it's flying over in Sino. Like if a terrorist takes over his plane, he's going to hit Sherman Oaks. He's not going to hit Mexico. Always were here. They're like, now, and I'm like, really? So you're so lawless that your cabin doors are literally just slapping in the wind upon takeoff. Great culture over there. Wonderful. And the people, it's not, let's see, it's not the, no way. It's not the people. The people are the best. Yeah. The government. Yeah. Who are Mexican? And honestly, there's probably like 100,000 Mexicans born in Mexico that I would rather have in the United States than Gavin Newsom types. No. You know, like the born here people that are just America is the worst. It's like, let's ship them down there. He grew up on the wrong side of tracks. Hard scrap. And his dyslexia. His dyslexia is now his new talking point. Have you seen this? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's got dyslexia. Well, we'll play it and then I'll weigh in. He got all pissy about Ted Cruz talking about his dyslexia. And now Gavin Newsom is getting some, I think, rightful pushback for telling a black mayor, quote, I'm like you before quoting his low SAT score. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Here we go. I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you, you know. I'm a 960 SAT guy. Huh. And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940. But later, the 960 SAT guy, I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be. Yeah. I've got dyslexia. So, like, why is this a thing now? Mm-hmm. The dyslexia are now, yeah. The dyslexia are now, yeah. Yeah. Talking about his dyslexia so much now, your whole career. I will explain it to you. Okay. And he's got the Ted Cruz answer, whatever. That's the one. It's a, it's a tax, a tweet and there's some updates in the tweet department too. Oh, Ted, treat back. Okay. First off, when, when we were bitching about the Burbank City Council, shutting down Tinhorn flats, my friends, family, business for over 50 years and how tyrannical they were. And so, the Burbank City Council's explanation is he has a mental disability or something. Anyway, it's like half-tard. And I'm like, so your argument is, I'm retarded, so let me run your city. Like I can't read. Let me lead the nation. Like I'm a dumb shit. So vote for me, which is a weird pitch because it used to be, who's the wisest man in the land, you know what I mean? Who's the most scholarly? But now I'm a dumb shit. You're a dumb shit. Dumb shits love dumb shits. Maybe part of the reason why our California budget is so screwed. Right. And the fire department's didn't get enough funding as he got the numbers. Yes. Yes. Quite literally. Yeah. So what it, what it is, all right, a couple things with his dyslexia. He is a male heterosexual, attractive, full head of hair. Tall. Tall. Tall and white and white. White and white. Yeah. So he has, and he runs, he wants to be the head of the grievance party who does as a black woman, as a gay man, as a whatever, marginalized individual. And his group, if you're not marginalized, you can't rise to the top. You need to be the first woman of color and the first openly gay, whatever, the first trans, whatever. You need to be the first tranny, whatever to run the department of labor. So it's going to be the dyslexic dude. As a dude, you, you can't hang a lot of stuff, especially look, you're talking to a tall great looking white dude is heterosexual all day long. Okay. Also in California. Also in California. Rich. Also kind of rich. So what do we do? Well, you can go dyslexic or you can go crone's disease. But nobody wants to picture you gasping out on a commode. So we go dyslexic, right? So now you can gather. Now you're never going to be the first black lesbian, whatever, but you can get some points in a party that gives out points for disabilities. You can be that and you have to go grew up poor. You have to do the grew up poor because that's your party. For single mom. Like, yeah, she, yeah. Like heaven forbid you to. Oh, no, no, no, no, that's the problems with modern society. There's two parents. So you have to go single mom, hardscravell wrong side of the tracks and dyslexic. And then what you can do there is you can counter some of the tall, good looking rich, white, mantle. He thinks. Well, it's with a deep leg cross. It's an attempt, but that's why he's hitting it hard. Now the dyslexia. Tacovas every time I watch an old John Wayne movie, no, I need a new pair of boots. Something badass and American about them. And that's why I got me some Tacovas. So whether you're a generational rancher or first time bootbuyer, they've got something for you. They care about their products. That's why each pair is handcrafted in over 200 steps. And when I put them on, well, there was no stiff breaking period, just immediate out of the box comfort. They've got a peril too. So you can get that fully authentic look of the American West. Trust me, you're going to feel like a badass when you put these on. It's Tacovas, right Dawson?

This was from a while ago, but now there's an even greater battle that I'm excited to talk about after you after you look at these these tweets from Ted Cruz that you like. Well, you can read. Well, there's one came before this. I think we're so Ted Cruz talked about how Gavin Newsom is historically illiterate. All right. And Gavin Newsom was like, he's calling a dyslexic person. And to my knowledge, like two weeks ago, this was the first time Gavin Newsom was like assuming that Ted Cruz should know that he's dyslexic and therefore can't go after after him. It's by the way, it's like Joe Biden had a stutter. Like you made up some shit we've never heard. Yeah. Adosson. I don't know why I'm looking at you. There's countless footage of of of buying an age 47 just in front of Congress, like waxing on for 20 minutes at a time about illegal aliens and not raising taxes and all the stuff you agree with. I don't hear him hiccup or stutter. I don't hear anything. So what do you mean he has to stutter? Where is this mystery stutter that I can't find tape of? There's also there has to be footage of all the times Gavin Newsom has read a teleprompter. Yes. Like how does he? Anyway, so this is the greatest readers note ever because it X now adds context and it's like Senator Ted Cruz did not refer to Governor Newsom's ability to read, but rather his knowledge of history historically alerted refers to the knowledge of history. Newsom left the word historically out of the original tweet, which says historically illiterate. He wasn't calling him illiterate. So now after this video of him trying to say, I'm just like a black man, which is such an insult. I'm a he's assuming that the black man got a low SAT score. Right. Sean Hannity ripped him a new one. My former boss and your buddy Sean and it is so good that this whole thread here is like amazing. By the way, before Alicia goes in on that, look up the definition exactly of illiterate because he's going, you're saying I'm illiterate and I'm saying I can't read because I have a disease. But if you can't read, then you may be illiterate, even if it's a disease causing your inability to read. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. All right. Go ahead. And there's lots of ways we can learn about history. So this whole thread, if you could just click on that for me, Andrew, that'd be amazing. So Sean Hannity says about this clip, he thinks that a 960 SAT makes him like a black American, let that sink in for you. Gavin Newsom then responds, you didn't give a shit about the president of the United States of America posting an eight video, president Obama, or calling African nation shitholes. But you're going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia. Spare me your fake, effing outrage, Sean, which is kind of crazy because like he and Sean, like they've done some buddy buddy interviews before. So then Sean responded again, like literally right before he went to do the show today. Gavin Newsom, you didn't give a shit being Joe Biden's public spokesperson knowing that Joe Biden partnered with the former Klansman, Robert Bird. And they tried to prevent the integration of public schools. So spare me your effing fake, phony, faint outrage. And how about you get homeowners building permits in the Pacific Palisades? The only thing that Sean could have done better in this tweet, Sean says get homeowners those permits in the Pacific Palisades instead of making an ass out of yourself daily, just a thought 100% with the addendum. He could have also added an outedena, a historically black neighborhood that you seem to not care about or talk about anymore. See, I was right on this. He's saying you're saying I'm illiterate, but I'm dyslexic. And the answer is yes. Then you are illiterate. Here's it. Here's from the Oxford dictionary. Unable to read or write. So if you have a disability that makes you unable to read or write, then you are illiterate. You just have an excuse, but you're still illiterate retard. Yeah, it is true. And you're too fucking dumped, even know the definition. Yeah. So yes, you're illiterate because you have a disease that you, by the way, it's made up. But you have a made up disease for you. I don't think dyslexia is enough. Made up for you. Made up, but yes. That's why I paused and said for you, that says you cannot read. So if you have a disease, look, you can go, if you're in a wheelchair, you can't dunk a basketball. That's, but or you can't dunk a basketball and you have use of your legs, but you're saying you're in a wheelchair. How dare you accuse me of not being able to dunk. And I'm saying you're saying you can't read or write because you're dyslexic. And 10 years. How illiterate was also just adding that he's historically illiterate, which is fact true as well. Yeah, that's true as well. All right. So it's God's disease. Now, let me explain something. He just talking down to black people because that's what they do. That's their constituency. They're the black folk and they talk down to them because they think they're dumb and they want to get the votes of dumb people and black people. And that's why they speak. When they speak to them, they speak in their vernacular. And that's why they have hot sauce in their purse. And that's why they go to the black churches and go, I ain't. Tired. No more. That's like Hillary Clinton. Oh my gosh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I ain't been no ways tired. Was actually what she said. Yeah, yeah. It's awesome. Hannah used to play that all the time. It's seared in my brain. It's awesome. For a thousand years. But I'll tell you the interesting and the real racist part of being illiterate and being dyslexic because I know it. I have lived it myself. I is a striking six foot two debonair man of non-color heterosexual. Kind of rich. Well, but this is pre-written. Oh, okay. Well, you were kind of funny. Ladies like that. Ladies like the Sunsy Humor. I could not read or write myself. My whole life because I never learned to read or write. And it was literally not learning to read or write. And that's in a public school just being like, moving on. Moving on. We're having a good time. That is shit. We got to school to prison pipeline for the black kids. We got to warehouse for the white kids. So I got into the warehouse. Okay. That's my privilege. Okay. So I got pushed along and I never learned to read or write. And then when I was older, people understood that I didn't read very well at all. And then write very well. People think, oh, you just automatically know how to read. No, you don't. Think about all the early settlers that came into the western towns or something. Well, have the one guy read the newspaper because the rest of the guys on the farm didn't read because no one went to school and they never learned how to read. Okay. I was told that I was probably dyslexic. Okay. People come up to me and go, come on, you're dyslexic. I go, I don't think I'm dyslexic. I don't know how to read. I haven't learned how to read. And by the way, there's nothing inherently, there's nothing inherently that makes sense about the three different ways to spell there. You either learn it or you don't, you know what I mean? Or, you know, antique or unique. You know, you wouldn't know how to spell any of that. I would just spell everything phonetically. It's what it sounded like to me. Which is a teaching style now, by the way. Oh boy. You should have been homeschooled. Mmm. I don't know. What parents would do that? What kind of irresponsible, half drunk parents would force that upon their daughter. One day, if I ever meet your parents, I'm going to set them straight. Your dad's going to extend his hand and we'll kick him right in the nuts. Just be like, why would you do that? If he ever had the guts to show up at this place, I would give him a piece of my mind. Now that's never going to happen. But if it does, be prepared. I'll warn him. Are you telling your dad, your mom, that I disgusted, disgusted what they did to you? That they chose to do. Robbing you of a childhood. And a warehouse. And a warehouse. Now, they're here. They are here. That's why I said. They wanted to meet Adam on my birthday. All right. So, everyone said, well, Adam, you're smart and you're funny. And so you must be dyslexic. And I said, I don't think I'm dyslexic. And they said, well, you should get tested. And I went and got tested. Yeah. I know exactly. It was on Ventura Boulevard and like, in Sino. And I don't know if it's like leading centers. Yeah. I mean, the leering center. I had a nice, small lady. So I got tested for dyslexia. And when I was done, they just said, you're not dyslexic. You just don't know how to read. And I said, that's what I suspected. But I had to shut up all the people who are well-meaning. Yeah. They're like, come on, Adam, you're smart guy. Come on, don't tell me. You must have a disease. But here's a part that I found interesting. If you're white and you can't read, you're dyslexic. If you're black and you can't read, the system let you down and you fell through the cracks and you had teachers that didn't care. Oh, but then you never go, you must be dyslexic. We go, oh, inner city guys. School never. So busy running from gang bangers to school set. Why can't black people be equally dyslexic as white? Also, white people also be left down by a shitty public school. I was a white guy who fell through the cracks. And it's not like sickle cell. I mean, I would assume, well, I don't know. Now we got to look it up, Dawson. It's dyslexia. It's only white people who are dyslexic. Tom Cruise is dyslexic. All the big stars. They're always claimed they're dyslexic. I never heard a black guy say I'm dyslexic. That's true. You hear, and I think it is a real thing. I actually think my husband is dyslexic and probably my own father. But you hear Tom Cruise, Dax Shepard talk about being dyslexic. We don't hear Kevin Hart and Denzel Washington ever talk about it. Famous black people with dyslexia include actors Will Smith, Octavia Spencer, boxing legend, Muhammad Ali. Now musician Harry Belfonte. Wow. Mm-hmm. And activist Malcolm X. This is some great, but does it affect white people? Well, first things first off, anyone who can't read as an adult should say they're dyslexic because otherwise it doesn't matter what it looks bad on you. It says that black people are much more likely to go undiagnosed. Uh-huh. That. Yeah. Also, do you know that women and girls tend to be undiagnosed or diagnosed later for a lot of things? Yeah. Then guys are dyslexia. Always just seems to be the realm of the white dude. I don't hear women talking about it. I don't hear Hispanics talking about Asians. Maybe some of them women are smarter. I don't think they allowed Japanese to be dyslexic. I think they will take you out and drown you. They will not ever heard of Japanese guys dyslexia. I don't think they can say it. I think that's part of the problem. It's just something. It's an unspoken rule. It's not pronounceable for them. Oh. I'm saying they physically can't say. That's what I'm saying. Okay. I respond people. Actress Will Smith. Okay. So yeah, it could be that the system does fail them, but the system is failing white kids too. So I feel like sometimes middle class white parents are like hyper aware of these things. Or as people become more successful in adulthood, they can self-diagnose or figure out issues and all that stuff. And like I think that sometimes real Americans, no matter what color they are, like they just got to go to work and stay married and maybe have a vacation once they go down to Port of Iarta. They open. The terrorists aren't blowing it up. They open everything up to the spectrum. And then once it's the spectrum, then everyone has a little dusting of. As burgers and dyslexia and everyone's got everything. Yeah. That's the thing. So Gavin Newsom, he thinks black people are dumb and he's going to go talk down to them, but he needs them to vote for him. But I never really get the thing. And by the way, black people, this is on you. You vote for Democrats. They talk down to you and think you're dumb and you just keep voting for them. You should be insulted by the way they talked to you. This is what concerns me a little bit with like, agree with what ICE is doing, but the public perception of what ICE is doing isn't going great right now. And the general public says polling wise, yes, we want close borders. Yes, we want safer streets. They just don't like to see the masked guys, you know, and all the media coverage of it right. Because Hispanics, and I think you've seen an increase for President Trump and the GOP under him specifically back in 2024, Hispanics are coming to the right and slower. Black Americans are coming to the right. And so therefore it's like, let's just continue to spread the message that we're all equal. And let's not blow things up politically speaking and then go the opposite way. Democrats do need to be careful of just constantly relying on these constituents that they tend to treat like dummies. Quite differently. Well, they'll import some new ones. The old ones won't vote for them. You've got another story. We do. Have you seen those kind of like RV encampments all over Los Angeles? Have I seen them? You know that they have like, they're like literal slum lords. Like guys will have these broken down RVs and they cart them around the city and they make these poor homeless people pay them sometimes with horrific acts, sometimes with cash, sometimes with drugs. Well now LA wanted to dismantle these homeless RVs and a judge shut that down. Well, first off, these judges, I have no idea what's going on. These RVs, I used to, well thankfully, the only good thing that came out of the palisades in Malibu fire is the RVs got destroyed. The RVs... All the drugged up homeless people were living? Well, the RVs were lined up all down PCA. And okay, first things first. And Dawson on the computer somewhere, I used to film it all the time and give it to you guys and we'd show it on this show. So it lives in the computer somewhere. God knows if it's labeled correctly, I'm guessing not. But I took many of videos. So PCH would have lined all the way up, up and down PCH. And it would go from the most beautiful view in the world, which is a Pacific Ocean to rust it out, bust it up, piles a junk RVs. There's nothing more depressing. It's not even like a cute old airstream that somebody's fixing up. They were like gross tan. Yeah, you know the thing that's kind of funny. Stuff in life, like the sad stuff in life, like destruction and famine and light and garbage and stuff is bad. But there's something that gets sadder. Like when you see an old concentration camp, you go, oh, that's sad. But it was always sad. It was never Disneyland and then they turned it into a concentration camp. RVs and kids toys are the saddest when they go south. Yeah. Because RV used to mean family recreation, see the nation. Like when that thing sold new in 1981, there's some nice family going. We're going to Sequoia. This is going to be awesome. Yellowstone, here we go. Yellowstone, here we come as a Chevy Chase movie. And now it's the saddest thing ever. And that's the same way with kids toys. Like sometimes I'll be driving down the five and you see the weird homeless encampment and you see the weird kids plastic castle on the side. You're like, uh, Barbie's dream castles on the side of the five freeway. Like it gets. Or like the little trike that was made by Toddler and like a streamer, but no tires. It gets sadder. Freebie. Right. So the RV that once was the best day ever for that family is now guys cookin' math and he's livin' for free by PCH. And I used to film these things up and down PCH because there were, uh, I will say at some point I counted like maybe 28 of them just going all the way down. Yeah. The lots after the fire down PCH are selling for $6 million a piece or for free, you embark in RV and get same view. And I was like, what is going on? You guys are handing out speeding tickets left and right, but these things, who by the way, empty their septic tank into the ocean. It's so gross. Not like they hire some professional, uh, honey dipper to come out there and take care of it. That's what we call those guys on the, on the job. So the whole point is this, of course it's illegal, everything's illegal. And as I was yelling at Steve Hilton, here's the site. Here's what Malbo is. If you want to park your junker RV in a no parking zone just on the side of PCH and stare at the ocean and cook math all day, you can do that for free. If you try rebuilding your house in the palatites with no permit, you're going to get rested. Yep. That's the law. Yep. And that's how we enforce the law. Yep. And then at certain point you have to ask yourself, oh, what do we want more of and what do we want less of? Like would you rather have more people just paying for their own rebuild and doing it professionally in the palatites because they have to live in the house. They're not going to make it dangerous or a bunch of junkies flopping out and bust it up RVs. So somebody made this law. Yep. AB 630 apparently says that you can't just have these RVs sitting on the side of the road. And Gavin Newsom cited in the law and it increased the financial threshold for LA and Alameda Caldys allowing them to dismantle vehicles worth up to $4,000 and clear the streets of these RVs everywhere. And that are parked everywhere. So now there's a new state law pushing a new bill or a legislator pushing a new bill to let every city in LA County dispose of all of the RVs. But a judge in a superior court ruling, it was only two pages, so it's a pretty easy read when it comes to judge writings. Judge Curtis A. Kin said that Los Angeles officials lack the legal authority to carry out the state law that permit the dismantling of this. He says quote, AB 630 provides no such authority to the city of Los Angeles to continue forward. Yeah, we're looking at force lawn, which has a ton had a ton of them as well. But there's none on piece. There's no footage of PCH that we can find. I just feel like I'm anywhere. I just feel like I'm anywhere. I just give it to the old guys and they don't label it. I guess that's how we how we do it. We don't label anything. Is that like that stretch where the studios are and then like the to look at like task club. You want to buy a house there's five million bucks, but you want to park an RV there and do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want. They did finally. So there was like the RV band lift briefly during COVID, which was bullshit. And then they were like started to enforce it a little bit. I was passing schools. Oh, and listen. And I'm like, how the hell are we letting these guys just like camp out in front of schools? Could you imagine? No guys who like bought a house in Venice Beach built a three million dollar house there. There's small lots. The front yards are not deep, maybe eight to 12, 18 feet or whatever. And an RV just parks in front of them and it's some crazed man just said either has sex with prostitutes or sells crack literally just in front of your house all day. Yeah. And the city can't do anything about it. It's not. Which is insane because the city can tow anything and do anything. I have a big duly Ford F 350. I was hauling a race car up to Laguna, Seca, Northern California a couple of years ago. Tabs were expired. Cop pulled us over. It's like, all right, just fix a ticket. No, we're towing it. They towed it to the law. They towed it. It was a tabs expired, duly registered, but the registration expired. They impounded it because you're the guy because I have money. Yeah, you're the guy. They can do whatever. He didn't know I had crowns or dyslexia. You're dyslexic dude. All right. Let's see. You can go to Adamcroll.com because Friday, Saturday, going to be in Dallas, Texas, at Hyenas doing stand up there. Earthquake, you can find his special on Netflix, joke, telling business.
