Summary

Matt and Shane discuss the viral BAFTA Awards incident involving a British comedian with Tourette's syndrome who said the N-word on live television, exploring the complexities of disability, intent, and cultural sensitivity. The conversation branches into broader discussions about Gen Z attitudes toward language, drug use, retail work experiences, and relationships.

Insights
  • Tourette's syndrome creates genuine cognitive dissonance for social justice advocates when disability intersects with offensive language, forcing uncomfortable questions about intent versus impact
  • Gen Z's desensitization to offensive language online, particularly among white youth using the N-word in gaming and streaming contexts, represents a cultural shift that differs from previous generations
  • The editing choices at major award shows (cutting some content but not others) raise questions about institutional decision-making and what gets deemed acceptable for broadcast
  • Personal anecdotes about low-wage work reveal systemic issues: workers stealing food due to poverty, lack of employer support, and the psychological toll of service industry jobs
  • Substance use patterns and comedown effects vary dramatically by individual baseline mental health, complicating harm reduction conversations around recreational drugs like MDMA
Trends
Disability discourse becoming more prominent in mainstream media criticism and social media discourseGen Z nihilism and detachment from traditional social norms, particularly around language taboosSynthetic drugs (K2, 70H) gaining prevalence as legal alternatives to controlled substances with severe health consequencesInfluencer-driven 'predator hunting' content as entertainment and social media currencyGenerational differences in drug use patterns and attitudes toward mental health impacts of substancesRetail and gig economy worker exploitation becoming normalized despite legal violationsOnline anonymity enabling language use that would be socially unacceptable in physical spacesAward show controversies becoming viral moments that overshadow actual artistic achievements

wow wow west all right start now all right start now hey we're here hello what the hell's going up connor mcnuddevin costa we just had some secret talk that we some secret top secret dog look bad now because then the thing we're talking about okay we didn't have that kind of secret talk because we're about to talk about the bath is right yeah it wasn't it wasn't like look i can assure you it was not that that was not that secret talk but no the uh the guy with tourette's I mean, I came in weird because we technically did have personal talk. We also started three times in a row right now, which makes things awkward. 100%. The Baptist thing was weird. Everything's on the up and up. You can be assured of that. Which camera? You can be assured of that. Guys, thanks for coming. Of course. We know we're a pretty big get. Yeah. Anything to help. You're lucky we're here. I'll take it. I am genuinely lucky you're here. Thank you. I'm fucking pumped you guys are here. Me too. Yeah, man. God dang. So, with all the formalities out of the way, we're talking Baptist. Baptist. We're talking Baptist. It was a crazy situation. Because I thought Sinners was overrated, but I think that guy went too far. And then I had to check out the Tourette's guy's movie. Have you seen 12 Years a Slave? No. You haven't seen it? That's the Tourette's movie. It's a crazy fucking movie. It's called I Swear. What is it? I Swear. I Swear. Was he the director, writer? No, no. It's based on him and an actor, a really good actor, plays him in it, and it's very good. I watched it right after the N-word drop. The guy was – that's a crazy marketing campaign. It was – I felt like it was intentional. Yeah, because I immediately watched the movie. Also, they apparently missed the Oscar cutoffs by a week or two. So this movie is going to be in circulation for the next year. Yeah. It will probably get nominated next year for the Oscars. So we'll hear about the Tourette's guy for the next year. Unless he gets killed by a black woman. Why was he at the BAFTAs, though? Tret's guy. He's a British guy. He's actually kind of famous in England. Okay. John Davidson. He's a white boy. He's a white boy, yeah. He's a crazy white boy. He's a very crazy white boy. Why was his movie – He's never said it to Idris Elba, which is interesting. I don't know, dude. Idris – Michael B. Jordan is jacked. Yeah. He should say it to anybody, whether they're weak or strong. He said it to Delroy Lindo, too, who is like an older black dude and probably really heard it directed at him at times. Okay, so this has been kind of the – well, first of all, I'm curious. Was his movie being nominated or he was just an actor? Yes, yeah, yeah. The actor that played him won. The guy who plays him won. But was he played by a black man? No, no, no. What are you talking about? Is Baptist for black? No, it's British. No, no, no. No, no. It wasn't the fucking NAACP Awards. You think there's a segregated award show for black people? There's the BET Awards. Right, no, Baptist's not that. No, no. I thought it was like the British BET. No, no. You thought it was like badass film awards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was black actors film. That's very funny. Actually, the whole time I was like, dude, he did it at the British BET Awards. No, he did it at the British. So this is just like the British actors. Yes, yes. It's a guy who's like actually like – he's like a crown jewel of London. Like everyone loves this guy. There's like a documentary series about the guy. Yeah, yeah. And then they made a movie out of it. So like he's like – I mean he called like the queen a cunt to her face. Yeah. Did he really? One of his best friends died, and when the cops came, he goes, like, I killed him. I killed him. You say the thing that's never happened. Thanks for clearing up the fact this wasn't the British B. I, the whole time, was going, whoa. The British B. I love that you thought that. That's great. That's beautiful, actually. You got a beautiful mind, dude. That's great. You're like, how cool of London. They have a black awards show. Good for them, dude. I just thought it was. That's so funny. That's embarrassing. So, okay And this is the question now I've read a lot of the comments on it You do have a lot of black ladies And even black guys being like That shit was in him He knows what he said He knows what he did They should have edited it Because apparently they did edit out Epstein stuff But they didn't edit out the n-word They also edited out Free Palestine Sorry, that's what it was And he was calling the host of the show Like a homo the entire time And they edited that out too What? He didn't say homo. He's, you know, bad. Yeah, obviously, yeah. Yeah, he's got the disease. You gotta do it. I also have Tourette's when I see Alex. It makes you feel better. Also, if his Tourette's made him go, homo, that would have been like genuine. People are like, you know what you're saying. That's in you. Yeah, it's funny. The, like, the affliction is, like, so harsh. What if he had, like, Tourette's that was, like, sing-songy, you know? True. You're gay. That could be fun. Maybe that's potential therapy. Broadway Tourette's. That could be a potential therapy of getting him to kind of, like, sing it out. But that's yeah. I mean, I personally don't think the man that was like some sort of, you know, showing of like innate evil. And it's also like the question is, is like what person is like, does that mean the word is there or the sentiment to use it? It's just that you've you've heard before that that's the worst thing to call a black person. So then you say that it's literally like the disability. Yeah. You say the worst thing you say to somebody. It goes to the taboo and you can't help it and it like helps you like live. You feel like – I've been watching all these like Tourette's people talk about it and yeah, it's like you can't – it's – you feel like you're going to explode unless you don't get it out. And then they also just go like – they like bark and shit. They're fucking animals, man. The guy was podcasting at the bathroom. I think honestly – I think Tourette's are now the most – I thought for a while I was like, it's definitely straight white men, most dangerous people in America or the world. Yeah. Tourette's have replaced. Tourette's. Yeah. It's caused an eye on them. I mean, you have like Eric Cartman disease. I don't know what to tell you. Yes. It's pretty. It's pretty. They're terrorists. They're literally terrorists. And you have Tourette's. You're an evil terrorist. You didn't apologize technically to black people on Twitter, at least. They're very upset by that. What was his apology? It was just like explaining the disease. Yeah. I'm explaining it because in the movie there's an entire scene where the lady that takes him in is like, you don't need to keep apologizing for something you can't help. A black lady? Yeah, yeah. Whoopi Goldberg played his mom in the movie. It was Monique in the movie, actually. In the movie. In the guy, there was an actor who played him. Yes. Who probably had the time of his fucking life. Imagine getting in that role. Just saying it all over. Like, hey, man, you're going to get paid like $100,000. You guys see the N-word a bunch. You're like, oh, no. Yeah, you gotta yell it out. Oh, fuck. That's terrible. He doesn't yell the N-word in the movie. No. No. Probably not. But now, okay, here's another thing, Matt. There's a scene in the movie where he's, like, painting his new flat, like, his apartment with his friend. And it's, like, green paint, but it looks dark green. And he, like, puts it on his face as a tick. And then he, like, puts it on his friend's face. And they start doing it. And that clip has surfaced on Twitter. And black people are like, so there's a blackface scene in this movie, too? Oh, it's a dark green. It's like a dark green. And it has nothing to do with race. He's just being, like, wacky. and painting his friend's face and they're like oh you know but now that's like an evil yeah like this is a thought-out thing and the movie is this like secret racist there is like a weird like cognitive dissonance with like i don't know black people on twitter where it's like they would like go to like a kid's birthday party and a guy that gets painted like a giraffe and they go for sure you're doing blackface yeah what's going on here no it's well it came the problem is though if you're somebody who's like you know really prides yourself on being like socially aware and empathetic you came to a very nasty crossroads or like whose side am i on yeah it's tough or the disabled it's tough because also he he there was apparently like a mic and like he just said like why was there a big mic in front of the baftas wanted this to happen that was actually not a good so they had it they had the guy was just all night people think he was the boom mic on the entire time no there's this idea that he was front and center you know like wearing like with a swastika tattoo on his head just like screaming the worst things of all time you know he was like 40 rows back apparently and but somehow like kind of miked and they cut everything else but this part yeah that's weird wait they call it they caught they missed every oh they they cut him somebody on stage said free palestine they cut that maybe they were kind of there's a couple guys where they're like well he was you were saying he was yelling like gay stuff too though the whole The host, Alan Cummings, kept saying, just so everyone knows, there's a guy here that can't stop saying it. By the way, imagine being gay and your last name is Cummings. That's so funny, dude. That's incredible. That's awesome. That's driving the Tourette's guy crazy. He's a fucking brilliant man. He's my favorite. For sure. No, but it's also just created a war because he's like a very – like people really – he's an earnest figure in England. People really, really love him. And they like that he said fuck the queen or call the queen a quack. Yeah, because it's so – Well, they forgive it. They forgive it, and the queen forgave it. Sure. She has bigger fish to fry right now. One of her sons is running wild. She's also dead. God damn it. I don't know what he's saying. The queen is dead. Who the fuck is running in England right now? I wonder they're having guys scream out in the awards and call that. The Tourette's people are running. son's a damn pedophile i mean award show they're yelling out insults they're just i don't know that guy fucking knew i fucked that guy that guy he knew what he was doing actually that is the core of that man's entire man he's a sick man he's a sick man his life should be ruined more than it has been his entire so you're on the same page as jamie fox jamie fox was like it's the fuck him dude he knew what he said meanwhile jamie fox is like telling leonardo dicaprio just fucking say it all you want it's such a weird flex to be like yeah if like uh i'm trying to think i feel like if a guy with like down syndrome tripped me on accident and i turned around i was like motherfucker you know what you did i know you fucking know it's like when an evil like reptilian uh like like grandmother of yours or like i guess like even somebody's mom they start kind of like oh they have they have uh they're forgetful now but they say like evil things in between the forgetfulness and you're like i know what you're fucking like fucking livia soprano or something yeah where you just like i can't tell like people have said you have a you know a problem now so i but but i still kind of think you're fucking with me it's also it just is so unbelievable if he has like a track record or like oh we kind of love this guy and then he just gets the bath does it He goes, finally. My evil dark philosophy. The long con. It paid off. Yeah. I've been faking Tourette's for years. So he thought he was at the BET Awards like you. It's just insane. It's such an insane thing to not immediately be like, yeah, okay, that guy. But I think what happened is it fell too neatly with – who was the other – the fart lady? Yeah, fart N-word. Fart N-word. She was like, yeah, hitting a nail. I think that was like a stun grenade for black people. They're kind of like, wait, what the fuck was that? They're like, stop being so silly about it. We don't know how to get angry about this. No, it was. Yeah, it was. It was just kind of like because that was clearly, you know, slip up. Although my brother was like, there's no my brother is completely against a TV lady. He's like, there's no way that was a slip up. Oh, no. I think she says all the time. Yes, she stubs her toes. Just far. And we're like, it's that's just in her repertoire. She was saying fart knocker is what she usually says, and it just – It just – She must have hit her toe. Hey, we've all been there. We mix it up. I confuse knocker and the N-word all the time. That lady's got great N-words. Also, here's the thing. It's like how bad did you hit your toe? Broken toe? Yeah. It's like – What I didn't understand about that clip was why did she go like, can we cut that? And some guy was like, no. Some guy was like, absolutely not. I hate you. We can't cut you. I hate you. No, someone clearly just took that and released it. Yes. I think they're like live streaming or something like that. I think they're like Instagram live. Were they? I had to be because why couldn't you cut that out? HGTV getting into live streaming? I think someone took the card and was like sick. Yeah. Really? You think that? We were just talking about these Gen Zers. Yeah, dude. They love that shit, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nihilists. They do. They're nihilists. I think they are kind of nihilists. Yeah. Yeah. Or I don't know. A lot of them are like big time grind heads though. So. What's a grind head? Like grind. Like rise and grind. Yeah, rise and grind. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and they don't care if they, like, die young. I mean, you know, they're all fucking doing the micro-fracturing on their faces, doing meth and shit. Well, Austin is also, like, the capital of, like, the most boring 24-year-old of all time. Like, all those, like, get ready with me. Here's my day as a 24-year-old living in Austin. And I'm like, dude, kill yourself. This is the worst life I've ever seen. I've talked to my younger cousin about that, and he was like, I was like, is this what you and your friends do? And he was like, no, none of us. He's like, none of us do that. It is, like, a mind fuck, because I'm trying to figure out, like, what Gen Z does or who they are. But because all the biggest people are like streaming all the time. Yeah. But I don't think that's like a fair reflection of like who they are. You mean I'm telling you I think they're completely checked out of like online stuff. Yeah. I don't think that I was just talking about like the rage bait of how like it's like if you get mad about something online I think they view you as like a boomer fucking. Yes. Yeah. We're like almost if you get mad at all it's kind of embarrassing. Yeah. What was the sentiment we just said. If you don't say the N word you're gay. No, because they'll just rip the N-word. It's like on the internet. And again, maybe there's streamers versus other guys. But it does seem like young white dudes can just rip the N-word on the internet. I mean Clavicular is constantly ripping the N-word. Clavicular nonstop, Fuentes. And you can't tell me that's not trickling down. Completely. It's like an Xbox Live economy. It's just that's like now the culture. It doesn't say anything. So that's what I think. I think it's like, you know, I'm, you know, I didn't, I didn't predict this happening, but I think, I think white people are taking the word back. I think they might be the youth. White people are like, let's put the power back into it, actually. The opposite of Jay-Z. But it's got to be crazy because like, you know, I know black dudes that go into Xbox Live and like, yeah, people yell the N word and blah, blah, blah, whatever. But it's got to be kind of a mind fuck to see like all these young white kids using it. And like as far as the internet goes, it's cool in the sense that it's working. Yeah. I mean we're being completely honest. The N-word was gentrified by black people. Yeah. That's what happened. Yeah. And we're taking it back, all right? It's like – but you've got to be careful. Exactly. You can't say it. I'm not taking it back. I feel gay like we just said. When I say the N-word, like I'm like retelling something, I feel like a teenager is going to call me like a homo or something. Like something just pop out of a bush. You're fucking gay. That's what I was saying earlier. Like I think if you're like 22 and you don't say the M word and you're white, you're kind of – it's like kind of gay. Kind of gay. Yeah, which is funny. I mean, dude, how crazy is that? They just – I mean – well, they're all at home. No one can punch them in their room. That's true. That's true, yeah. But you know what happened? I think it started – there's a lot of white rappers that started just like ripping it. You know Jin Lee? No. He was a Dallas rapper. He's a giant redheaded man with long curly red hair. Oh, yes. I've seen this guy. Yeah, he's good. He was ripping the N where he's in jail now. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I've seen him also post videos justifying saying it. But then he'll go and he'll fight black teenagers in the mall. So his stance. Okay, so he's about that life. Completely. He really hates them. No, he loves them. I'm kidding. He's like, totally. Go to the ball to fight black teenagers. I think he just roasts the ones he loves. Yeah. But no, he'll have people. Like, if you have a problem, come fight me. Right. And he'll end up just being near a smoothie. Bro, he's fat as shit. He's fucking – and he's like six foot three. He's huge. Ugly as hell. Hey, man. He lives in Dallas. He's going to get me. Relax. Come fight me, dude. Let's go to the mall. Let's do it. I love you. I love this guy. He's in jail. He's going to get out of jail. He's going to play. He might not. He might just be a crazy-ass white boy. He probably is, dude. But he's good. He sounds like Big X the Plug, right? Kind of similar to that? Yeah, kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fat, I guess. I don't know. He just sounds fat. I've never heard Big X the Plug. it's probably fat oh you'd love it is big x the plug white too no no but there's that i think that's you know the internet is like because like you're you're right you can safely say it onto the internet and like you know if you live around all white people's like no one's gonna beat you up really for yeah maybe like you know your lesbian cousin they're also saying it with the a right yes so yeah there's like people have a thing it's not the same at all to them true you know like Like when Nick Fuentes says it, it's in a way of like – I think he'd have a bigger problem he was saying with the hard R like every time. I think so. He also claims that Kanye gave him the pass. And yeah, he's a sane individual. Which – Yeah. Imagine that's your justification. Yeah. He's like, no, the most crazy man of all time said I can say it. He's getting his shit together though. Yeah. Kanye is getting his shit together. He apologized. He takes a big man to apologize to all the world's Jews. It does. It does. Have you done that before? No, I've never been in that position before. Matt, I do it every single morning. Wake up and I apologize to all the world's Jews. Get on Twitter. Sorry, Jews. That would be nice just hitting them with just like inspo content. Like good morning Jews Let get it But like pause really positive stuff Like good morning Jews That like the real equivalent of putting more shields in your chest in Call of Duty You see that every morning.

That's what they say. Yeah, I love Bully. Wait. bully was the album he put out that had like some ai songs on it but he put it out at the time when he was going completely insane see i didn't know what was real so right right it some of the songs are like kind of fake but man it's just he's just and the funniest thing is that it's a really calm like thought like it's it's very like nothing's crazy on the album it's really lovely and nice beautiful and then you look at his you know he's online saying like kill them all and you're like this is so nice to listen to what this is insane yeah dude just sucking your cousin off there's this musician i like who uh john martin he was like this guy like a british folk singer from the 70s and he would like he was you know one of the first people who was doing the looper pedal so he would do these like beautiful ambient soundscapes and then i learned he had been like beating his wife the whole time that's yeah i know so he would like have a vicious altercation with his wife, beat her, and then go out in the other room and just rip a beautiful... It helps you possess the... Hating yourself for doing bad things helps the artist. Maybe hating your wife is the key to success. Hating or hitting? Hating. Well, both. I think it'll come down to both. John Lennon used to fucking beat women. He wrote a song about it. He wasn't a jealous guy. Women are the N-word of the world. Yeah, that was him trying to help them. That's true. He hated his wife so much because you're the Edward of the world. I'm going to hit my wife and go, I'm trying to buy a house. That's what I'm doing. Oh, wait, he was actually being mean. I thought he was trying to be the ultimate emancipator. What a dick. Yeah, that was that was a wild move he pulled. Yeah. Yeah. I think women were like, yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? I've had a hard time believing they wouldn't be like, well, no, I think they love that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean women have been fighting. There's been that oppression Olympics for a while. It is funny that they have been – in terms of sheer numbers, they've been completely shitted on for the longest – like if you go back into history when you used to be able to fucking wrestle them and shit. And then all they get is like Hillary Clinton. Yeah, it sucks, dude. She just gets destroyed. It really sucks. It's tragic. Kamala Harris. They need their own Farrakhan. Yeah. But that's cool because when women get too feministic, For some reason, they lose their cool. Yeah, unfortunately. But they do that, and we go, eh, shut up. Yeah. Like, they've tried a million times. They have tried a million. Yeah. You know what? This is embarrassing of me to admit, but I recently – I don't know why I got this idea where I was like, dude, I think women in, like, heavily Muslim-controlled areas are genuinely happier than women in the West, like Sharia law and stuff. Yeah. Looked it up. Not the case. Not at all. I was like with Grok, like, yeah, but, like, what about – he's like, not even – dude, they're so sad. I love that ignorant take. That is funny. When you meet a person from a different culture, you're like, oh, it must be peaceful. And then you're like – you Google it. You're like, oh, they hate gay people. Yeah. It's actually illegal to be gay. They'll kill you. I was like maybe they're like – it's like as much as it sucks not being able to drive or leave your house and having to do all the – Or have a clit. Muslim women are like the clit is like the appendix. It's not really necessary. It was a shameful thought, but I was like maybe there's a certain freedom in that. And then I looked it up. It's like, no, depression. And it's also like the reporting of depression is probably so low too and it's still – Right. Are they even allowed to get into that? And that's why they asked them more like – instead of being like, are you depressed? They're probably like, no. So it's like, well, how did – do you ever feel like tired for days at a time? And they're like, yeah. And they're like, do you ever like think about just like sleeping forever? And then they hit them with all those questions. Yeah. When they collect a lot of data, it was like – Just coded killing yourself. Yeah. Yeah. But then I was like, are Muslim men happier? And I don't think so. I don't think so either. They're fucking loud and angry. I think if you're religious, you're just never happy. If you're fully like, God will hate me if I do anything, you can't be happy. But imagine if you don't beat off for one day. I mean, I kind of lose my mind. Yeah. You'd be happy. I don't know. Lately, I've been able to go when I do shows. Every now and again, I'll go to a hotel, sleep there, not beat off, and leave in the morning. And I always feel good. Yeah? Yeah. I didn't leave a fucking disgusting towel for that lady to get. That's why they're doing it. They're being Muslim guys who just consider it. The women have to clean up our jizz. You're not jerking straight into the toilet. When I'm in a hotel, I'm just straight. I do that at home. You jerk right into the toilet? Sometimes. Just get it out? It's a late night sneak away for sure. I know what you mean. Late night sneak away. A hotel, I just, whatever, dude.

Dude, it was like part of the circuit. It was like, you're promoting your album? Like, you're gonna hunt a pedophile? It's like Ty Dolla Sign is like shaving Epstein's head, Mark Tabasco in his face. Those were so weird, though. It's like, I mean, because those guys are being hunted, for real, right? So it's like, there's a pedophile who's, in his head, he's like, dude, I'm about to get some little boy pussy. And then Akon shows up, he goes, this is the best day of my life. Yeah. Holy shit, Akon's gonna serenade me fucking a boy? And then he's like, oh, it's the worst day of my life, actually. Yeah, he's here to get me. He's like, play Locked Up. Can you sing Locked Up? Yeah, he – it sucks when they're clearly – you're like, oh, this person is like either severely autistic or like has something. Yeah. And you're like, oh, dude, all right. They kind of always are though, man. Definitely stop the guy from molesting. You've got to stop him. But it's like – I don't know. You've got to get him back. Just kill him. Sonic, bro. You can just kill him. You think so? Yeah. Yeah. There's a comic I know. I mean, why not? Why kill those people? You think so? Pedophiles? I mean all – for sure. But if it was like – if you have severe developmental delays and all that stuff and then like you get caught being a pedophile and people like beat them up, I'm like, all right, dude, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a disability. Blow up the – it's kind of like the Baptist. There's going to be a pedophile at the Baptist next year, dude. That shit was in you. I know what the fuck is in your soul. It's evil. You ever see the pedophile fight back and they're kind of good? They got hands a little bit? There's a couple videos where they beat up the pedophile And the pedophile is like I'll fucking square up right now And they almost lose a fight to the pedophile I'm like dude could you imagine Getting your shit rocked by a pedophile A buff pedophile An expendables pedophile A Salone pedophile Definitely not his first rodeo Rambo first kid It's not his first rodeo He's trained It probably caught him slipping back in the day Has someone for real almost lost to the pedophile in the Walmart? Yeah, in like a convenience store, like a liquor store. Walmart should have like a boxing ring for if someone finds a pedophile. They should. Yeah, like Disney jail or something. Yeah. Should be an old black guy. Come on, put on the gloves. We're going to send lists like men. Then you get in there and fucking. Also, at this point, how dumb do you have to be as a pedophile? It's like if a kid's asking you to meet at a fucking gas station, it's a trap. Are you not seeing these videos? Come on. I mean, your dicks never led you to a strange place. No. never once not a gas station i mean like all the videos are at a gas station or walmart so if i was a pedophile i'd be on my p's and q's being like i've seen the videos yeah i mean right i'm not meeting at a walmart that's an obvious trap we might ask you know what's funny though that now it's now that i think about it it's pretty you know like the bar lets out at 2 a.m that's kind of like that's 3 p.m is the pedophiles 2 a.m you know what i mean if you're like a teacher pedophile You're like, fuck, it's almost 3 o'clock. And you're like, so like, what do you guys do? You guys just going home after this? We can keep the party going if you want. You guys want to do a robotics class? Well, that's the thing we're kind of okay with is the women pedophiles. There's been like a revolution going on lately where it's like every week there's a decently attractive teacher that like fucked like a 15, 16-year-old. Has that been happening still? Yeah. Happened like a week ago, yeah. And she was hot. It happens all the time. Well, now they're reading too much Darren Erotica. Yeah. That's why they're fucking becoming pedophiles. They also make TV – there's shows about it, and it's hot. The show's hot. Yeah, it's – What was the FX show called? Like The Teacher or something like that with Rooney Morrow or whatever? There was a new book that just came out about a – it's from like a – fuck, what is it called? I think it's like Jeanette McCurdy. I think she was a – Yeah, yeah. She has a book called Half His Age, and it's about like a 17-year-old seducing her teacher. I read the whole book. i mean well i was gonna have her on i'm on my i'm on my third reread actually i can't get enough of this book i was gonna have her on because i'm like man that's kind of wild yeah because you wrote the book you could have it was a senior she could have been 18 and like yeah sure you know then you would have been but it's just like you know so i was kind of curious but i read it and it was uh it was like kind of i mean it was like really fucked up i can spoil if you guys want to hear the ending i would go ahead but it's like so the story is there's this chick she's 17 it's like white trash her mom's like kind of like never there her mom's always trying to find like the dude that's going to save her hot yeah so sorry it's already hot as hell dude so white trash is so hot for some reason i don't know what it is so she you know and then she has this teacher the creative writing teacher who like loves her writing and thinks she's like super smart and then she just becomes as a 17 year old obsessed with like how he's just like he has like a you know belly he's receding hairline and how she's like i want to make this guy feel good and like i'm going to show this guy how to like you know like oh like a pity like i want to give him a great moment i just love this guy yeah i want this guy she's the nicest lady of all time pretty much yeah and then uh so she just like sees this guy and he gives her like you know some positive attention like i like your writing and i just it somehow just like triggers something in her where She's like, I am going to base. This guy will be mine. And she like seduces him and he carries out an affair with this lady and this girl and eventually leaves his family for her. And then she's just like they're about to go on a flight together. And she's like, this guy sucks and just leaves. That's the whole book. That's the ending? That's the whole book. Oh, man. After. But they have like there's like a bunch of very gratuitous sex scenes written. It's pretty. Oh, thank God. Yeah. That's kind of. You just described the most bleak book of all time. Thank God, dude. But yeah, it was pretty wild. I read it and I was just kind of like, fuck, that's pretty wild. Like, what do I take from this? She realizes she's like, you don't need a man to justify your existence. Right, right. Yeah not just my femininity Yeah and the mom goes to Romantics or Romantaholics Anonymous Romantaholics It not sexaholics It Romantaholics It just like obsessed with flirting Pretty much. Yeah. The fact that there's, like, a guy that's going to come save you. There's going to be Romantaholics. Dude, I'm telling you, the erotica books aren't even so much about the, like, sex as it is, like, the two people finally colliding. Like, what are the circumstances leading to that? Is it high class, low class? Well, yeah. Is it toucher? Because if not, it would just be literal porn. It kind of is like porn comments put in a book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's more so about like the – it's more about the situation around it than like just kind of like – Right. And then she sucked his dick. It's not that. It's like they're from two different families. They're not supposed to see each other. He's rich. She's poor. Romeo and Juliet. He sees everyone. Yeah. He sees something in her. I like touch her and you die. Yeah. That's about if someone touches a girl and a guy is like, I'll fucking kill you. Right, right. So that's what I'm saying. They're getting charged up off of a homicidal guy. Do you have that? I don't have that at all. I'm not protective over my wife in that way. I don't. I don't. When she gets hit on, I go, cool. I'll get a little angry. I was in a casino and a guy was like – he was in a slot machine like this. And when she walked by, he did one of these. And he leaned almost on the floor. I fell. Look at her ass. I was like, what the fuck? It'll get me every now and again. He's like, I like fentanyl. I'm sorry. You can cross the line, but I was at a bar in New York with my wife, and I'm sitting at a bar stool and she's in between my legs. I'm kissing her neck, full lovey-dovey. This black dude walks up. He looks like Quavo from Migos. He comes to me and he's like, hey, mama, you got a man or what? I was like, I'm literally holding her. I'm kissing her. He was like, yeah, this is my husband right behind me. He goes, I bet. He walked away. I was like, can you believe that guy? And I was like, that's the coolest guy I've ever seen in my entire life. I would have been furious. I was like, that's the confidence to like see what the situation was. Be like, you got a man? That's fucking crazy. That shit fucking, it makes me so angry. Yeah. I was just shocked. I was like struck by it. Dude, I've almost. I don't put myself in those positions. True. Say what? Never with a woman. That's why I'm an incel actually. Yeah, I don't know. Something about that really chaps my ass. I don't think it's weird. I think it's a normal thing to get. No, no. I think I'm abnormal. Something about men cucking me in public, traps my ass. Something about a man pretending I don't exist and trying to fuck my wife for some reason grinds my gears. Yeah. Hey, you're really weird, man. That's weird. You gotta be more like him, dude. More like me, dude. Well, I'll deal. I mean, maybe I should zet out. I mean, it is. The fact that I'm cortisol spiking like that in public is embarrassing. Dude, clavicular would be just fresh shit. These foids are getting to you. The foids are out of my brain. no i i well the thing is too is like you know my wife's black so every now and again like younger black dudes will like try to what if me and devin had the worst reaction to that i go what we go what well they'll test every now and again they'll test me as like a thing or like to like you know sure and every i'll completely 100 iris spasm i got the iris spasm for sure yeah Once it gets going, it's – You can't stop it. It's really embarrassing too. No, I was like a thing with her like coworkers one time and like some like 20-year-old popped off and I like fully was in his face like I'll fucking kill you. And she was like, dude, can you please chill? He was like so young. He's like, dude, I'm a virgin. Can you please leave me alone? I'll fuck you right now. I'll fucking kill you. Yeah, man. I have that in your take. It's embarrassing. I'm going to – I like to chill but – I can't. I can't. You seem so zen. You seem so chill. I'm zenned out. But if I lose it, it's gone. Like it's just a flick of it. I'm kind of the same way. I'm pretty. I am pretty chill for the most part. I can kind of chill and be like, all right, what does this actually affect? Is this a big deal? Yeah. But every now and again, if I'm in the right mood, you push my buttons. I got to get hammered to have the confidence to just scream at somebody. Yeah, I could fight. That's that would be nice. Drinking. I'm either like very friendly, but that is the thing. If I'm drunk enough and like someone, it can be like the littlest thing. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, exactly. Some flip switches. It's kind of scary. All of a sudden, yeah, I think I'm strong and I can handle anything. Fighting words don't exist. I'll say anything to you. And I'm like, whoa, I'll sue you if you hit me. Yeah. Hit me, I'll sue you is always great. I've yelled that many times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hit me, I'll sue you so nice. I go, go ahead, I'll sue you. You don't know how the legal system works? Could you imagine, like, actually falling through on suing somebody? It makes me laugh thinking about taking it that far. It actually happened to my buddy one time. Really? We were at a bar in Pasadena, and he got a booth. He paid for a booth with bottles and all that stuff, and he kept inviting girls over. And they're like, where's our husband? I like that. He's like, get over here. Shout out. And then the girls are like, we're with our guys. We can't come in. He's like, fuck your guys. And the guys got all pissed. And we died down in the situation. We're like, all right, everyone chill, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Me and my friend went to the bathroom. We came back. He's just getting stomped out of the booth by all these guys. Oh, no. Like absolutely fucked up. like eggs on his fucking head. Did he? It was the book. Getting killed. Was it high ground? Yeah, it was like a table, like a secret, like, you know, like a club type table. But what I'm saying, was it up higher than like, or? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like elevated a little bit. Damn, he couldn't defend the position. It's crazy. Yeah, exactly. He had the high, and he had the high ground. This is crazy. Yeah. But I mean, he was by himself. Literally siege warfare. We thought, we thought we like, you know, killed the situation. It's all good. We come back from the bathroom. He's just getting fucking stomped out completely. Bleeding everywhere. Bruises all over the place. he woke up the next morning he sued the bar for like lack of security hey huge settlement that's the thing he really bro i think he got like 150 000 from this bar what lawsuits rule yeah isn't that crazy i sued postmates back in the day what i just they they banned me for stealing food so i i've sued them and i won like 24 000 what yeah it was kind of crazy i mean i'm you know i'm exaggerating a little bit but like yeah they'd like the app banned me and then i i you know you get like those mesothelial you just sign like an email like sure i'm a part of a class action thing and one day i just kept getting calls from some law office in chicago and i'd be like what is this i kept ignoring it and then finally they got a hold of me and they were like we think you could go to arbitration and this i was like oh this is like a real thing why am i i guess i signed something that most people don't yeah so i put myself in a situation where i'm like yeah sure I'll actually like be a part of this. Why did you get fired again? Oh, you, uh, uh, you're stealing food. You get an order and then cancel the order and then eat a meal. I had like, I, you know. Oh, so they had a genuine reason to fuck. Yeah, but it's, no one's working for them. So I'm like, fuck, but my phone's gonna like, no. Were you delivering for them or ordering and canceling? Yes, yes, yeah. I did Uber, I would do them all at the same time. Gotcha. And like. And you would, they would have an order and you would just be like, actually, I'm not going to take this to person. Yeah, sometimes, I mean, technically Postmates. I didn't steal the food that often Uber eats all the time Uber eats constantly I'd call I figured out that they didn't track your like car or your who you were and it's just some like sad lady in like the Philippines picking up the phone so I would at the end of a night at the end of at the end of a long day of delivering food because you get if you cancel the order you also get paid for the mileage too what like like whoa we're sorry like it's the restaurant you go like I can't do it. And they're like, oh, it's OK. Your car is broken. Fine. Just try to get back out there. But I – so at the end of every delivery shift, I would like work – you make like 60 bucks working like nine hours. It's terrible. No one tips. Just delivering to like celebrities and – I tip. I always tip my Uber's driver. Thank you. Thank you. It's appreciated. Did you ever deliver food? I was a pizza guy for a while. Yeah. Yeah. So you have the empathy. I have the empathy. I tip the fuck out of them. Yeah. It's crazy. So do I. Why wouldn't you? Same. They're risking their lives to bring you the food. And you see the service charge. I think the service charge gets people being like, fuck them. As a pizza guy, it was the same thing. It would be like there was a delivery fee that the restaurant would take. Yes, yes. And I would get my tip. So it was like my version of giving myself a little nice end to a long day. So I would pick up – I'd wait for a huge order, like a gigantic – I'd feed my friends. And so I'd go pick it up, and then I'd get in my car. I'd drive a little bit away from the restaurant. Then I'd call, and I'd be like, my car broke down. It was kind of fun. I got to like pretend like to act and stuff too. I'm like, I don't know. It's just my car. You know, the engine is smoking. It's yeah, I'm dead. And they go, oh, it's OK. Just try to get back out there. And then they cancel it. I get paid for like, you know, an 11 mile drive. And then I get to keep all the food. I did this like I'm not kidding once a night for like seven months straight. I felt bad initially the first time I ever did it. And then I found out that like the restaurant, they still get paid. Like it comes out of the like Uber. Yeah. Like it's not like – like the people have to remake it, but they didn't like – they don't lose their money or whatever. The dude eventually gets his meal just a little later and he'll be fine. Exactly, yeah. And then, yeah, that's kind of sweet actually.

I had a soft top Mercury Cougar. OK, it was like old black dude. Yeah, chill out of the car. So they were like, bro, you need the help cap. So this old guy came up. He knew exactly what I needed. Pause and like. He's walking over you, zipping down his pants like, oh, what you doing, man? I know what you need. Dude, he completely dad bogged me and he like knew he got the you need a security key. He showed me. He took it out. And he like, you know, paused again. And then we fucking – he fixed the tire. So he fixed the tire. So, you know, my black daddy came and fixed the tire. And then – so I go back to insomnia. A bit of a chip on my shoulder now. And they were like, oh, you ready for more deliveries? And I was like, that's all you guys care about, huh? I hadn't slept. I hadn't slept all night. I'm all sensitive. Like, you guys don't even fucking care about me, do you? There's nothing worse than like working at a job and people care about the job. You know, you're higher ups. You know what I mean? I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch. Did you? come on was that shirtless or was that hollister they asked me to do shirtless and i said i can do it because it like a hundred bucks was like that not the price Yeah That crazy That bad To be shirtless in a mall That fucking nuts Me and Mike I didn know him in high school We stopped hanging out with a guy when he got a job at Abercrombie and Fitch. Really? I mean, we're kidding, but we were kind of like – we really like brutalized him for doing it. Yeah, yeah. I don't mean to brag. I got recruited. Whoa. Genuinely. By three different Abercrombies. I'm walking like a community college campus. People are like, do you want a job? And I was like, no, I'm good. And then the third time I was like, all right, I'll take the fucking job. Really? Constantly happening. You're like, thank you, Mr. Wexler. I'll be glad. But, dude, I, yeah, I worked there for, I think, three weeks. Worst job of all time. It's like four hour shifts. It feels like it's 10 hours. They pump the perfume through the vents. You're like nauseous, headache. Retail is the one job I've never worked at. Anytime. Just hearing the same song over and over again, stacking pants. People who work retail, I'm like, why are you doing this? Work anywhere else. Yeah. Yeah, it's – people get addicted. There's some people I know who just do retail. Yeah. Like clothing stores. A lot of younger women do it because they can get the discount and they can get their clothes. Yeah. Right. But yeah, it always seemed like super fucking miserable. Well, dude, yeah. So I'm working there and like – I also got like class action like checks from these people all the time because they were just fully illegal. So I like – I get the job. They make me buy an outfit. Like you have to dress head to toe in Abercrombie. Oh, yeah. They make you buy it. So I had to spend like $140 on an outfit. That was a deep discount though, isn't it? It's not. It was like 20% off. what it's an expensive store and i was like fucking 19 you know yeah that's kind of brutal so i remember like i went the manager was like this like really like um gay guy you know and uh i go and i put my shirt on and wear large i like bag your clothes and he goes it's not small enough and i was like for real and he goes yeah tighter put a medium on he goes not tight enough what and i was like what this is crazy you're like you're raping right now yeah that's crazy i go put a small and do my arms like cutting circulation off he's like perfect and then they make me like pose for photos for like the employee catalog i have no fucking clue what's going on but i'm truly in a shirt that's like killing me and pants that are killing me and then uh i just had such a weird vibe from that that i was like i can't do this job and i put my two weeks in i was like i'm out of here you know yeah and then um that manager came up to me fine you can wear a medium no for real for real dude it's the worst thing i've ever heard in my life he heard that i put my two weeks in he comes up and he goes so i heard you too good for the fitch wow dude i went dude i quit now and i left i just left the store too good for the fitch i was like you're the worst person i've ever met dude so i heard you too good for the fitch this is like a guy who's like a career manager of abercrombie he's probably the regional did he move from salt lake city to glendale california to like manage this Abercrombie. That is the thing with retail. It sucks. But if you become like a, you know, regional or whatever director, you, you kind of have like a cakewalk the rest of your life. You just get drive around and check on stores and you get paid like a hundred something granted. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I know people that like make a really good living just like they work their way up at like In-N-Out. Yeah. And now they're. I knew, I knew dude who did it at Target like years ago and he was just like the regional VP or something. He just, he's like, I just drive to stores and I'm like, man, it looks good. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a good job. No. Like never once. Dog walking was sick, but I think the boss. The money's not good though. Money sucks. Yeah, money sucks. I've never like once had a job where I'm like, I can do this. Yeah. I worked on a weed farm for a while. It was kind of fun. That's kind of chill. You could just smoke weed and trim and shit like that. You know what? I painted with my friend. That was nice. We painted houses. Yeah. That was actually pretty. I actually like kind of like that. I got paid, you know, decently. Oh, dude, I forgot to tell you. So the – I just completely forgot. The – what's it called? What's it called? insomnia cookies or whatever so that when i pulled back up and i could tell they didn't care i went in like you can you take another order and i was the same thing i was like i'll take an order i was like i'm taking this right home and eating it but like yeah so i take an order and i'm like all right i'm gonna go get these to my roommates for any cookies and then i like forgot my jacket and they were like oh dude can you take another order like a bunch of milks and they hand me like a fucking massive cookie order with a bunch of milk and i was just like definitely taking this all home so i went home i just left and i was like i went back and i was like sitting there eating cookies with my roommates and then i had the phone numbers for the orders on the little slip yeah so i started calling them and being like you know i'm outside where are you and they're like huh i don't see you and i'm like oh come outside man like so i had this guy walking around looking for cookies i was like 19 and i called him and i was like yo i was like oh dude i had to spin the block there was a bunch of like really shady guys standing outside and he was like where i'm like i don't know dude i think it was like a gang outside you gotta watch out for those guys man they're always trying to steal my cookies and he was like oh oh i was like just keep coming out i'm like wave your are you wave your arm so i can see you so the guy who was outside had him doing all these like weird like calcetics yeah you're like i think the bloods are in ambler pennsylvania it was it was university of penn gotcha i was like dude there was these guys out there i think it was like a gang bro what the hell he was just like i don't i don't see anybody out here i'm like I'll be back, but I got to spend. Dude, for my own safety, I'm not making this delivery, dude. Can't do it, dude. I might die. But then I called the headquarters of Insomnia as one of the other deliveries that never got ordered. And I called like, hey, my order never came here. And they were like, well, you know, well, like making all these things. And like as they were like, hey, we'll figure it out. I was like, I probably should need him. I'm so fucking fat anyway. And they started being like, oh, come on, man. Don't say that. I'm like, no, I'm a fucking fat piece of shit. I just shouldn't even have. Probably the weirdest shift that guy's ever had. I'm like, I think I have to talk. He's going to kill himself. I don't know. This store finally called me like an hour later. Like, are you OK? Yeah. I was like, I'm chilling. And they're like, OK. And they just hung up. Yeah. That was the end of that. I used to deliver whippets to a drug addict. Did you really? Yeah, because I don't even understand. You can go to a smoke shop and just buy like whippets. Yeah. And there's somehow like it's like, I guess the law like is like, oh, no, people also just love whipped cream and stock or something like i don't know but yeah and this guy tipped very well he would literally answer the door like a breaking bad method like in a robe like and like grab this big package of like yeah whippets i would get him from like a smoke shop for like uber it was just it was illegal dude so apparently if you do whippets all the time like that your body just stops producing vitamin b12 like it like fucks you up that's like you put holes in your brains too right like your brain has like weird spots maybe i don't know probably the biohacking whippet addict it's like you gotta supplement with the whippets well there's a there was a lady who went like paralyzed like she were like legs stop working because it's something to do with your body not producing like certain things and like it just shuts it off dude that and did you ever fuck with 70h no that is 70h is uh it's funny because i brought it up one time because i just like found out what it was and i like brought it up on a podcast and never finished talking about it so people are like dude whatever you do please don't do it's like 70h is kratom that's been like processed and refined almost like you know there's like percocets and then oxycontin or it's like the same ingredient but you just make it super strong so uh 70h is the shit they sell at gas stations that's like stronger than morphine yeah but you can just go buy it at a gas station it's insane so like people go there so you're there you know you're at the gas station you're like yeah let me get uh you know let me get some zins and those guys some of the guys would be like oh man set tried a 70h and people are like what's it like it's like it's very chill and there's dudes that start doing it they become literally they got to go on like fucking like methadone to get off crazy christ it's like the smoke shops were selling spice for a while it was like the fake weed yeah we're having like seizures and shit i've talked to people who do like a lot of drugs and like meth heroin they're like dude k2 is fucked up yeah which is you know same thing and it's like yeah it's a big jail drug people do they would do k2 in jail because it's like ketamine no it's uh spice oh spice yeah synthetic weed call it deuce yeah it's like crush you're like yeah dude we're smoking deuce and like my friend who's done literally every single drug you can imagine is like bro fucking k2 is fucked up yeah yeah i mean i can't smoke weed even like you should try spice once you think i should i'll lose my fucking mind i knew dudes who could smoke like ounces of weed yeah and they would have they had like they would go on probation they would smoke spice and they were like bro that was fucked up he smokes weed he turns into like the coney 2012 guy who just starts jacking off it fucks you up dude it fucks me up in a crazy way last time i smoked weed i was probably like 24 and uh my friends from california i was living in new york they sent me like a weed pen i ripped it twice i was up till 5 a.m crying because I couldn't remember like Alan Rickman's name.
