Joe Rogan Podcast Check it out the Joe Rogan Experience Stream by day. Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

What's up, man?

Ralph Barbosa On the way up, What's happening?

Hey, it's good to be here.

Good to have you, man. I hear good things about you. I was just talking to Brian Simpson about you today.

I'm a huge Brian Simpson fan, I love that dude.

We were working out today and he was saying great things about you.

No offense to Brian Simpson, but he works out.

He does now.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, he's been working out with me for three weeks now. I got a little comedy boot camp going on over here.

Yeah.

Yeah, Shane Gillis, Duncan Trussell, Hasan Ahmad, Brian Simpson and me. We get together and get some workouts in.

All those guys are living down here.

Yeah, they're all living down here.

That's dope, man, Austin's pretty dope.

Austin's Dope right now, Hell yeah, it's a great spot.

I popped in here yesterday to Austin. I feel like I didn't used to be able to do this, but it was dope. Man. I got to go do a spot at the creek and then I got to go to your spot, I got to do the Little Boy.

Nice.

Yeah, it's been dope, man.

Yeah, it's fun, Austin's like, it's a new thing, It's like an exciting thing.

Yeah, you know, it used to be like before Covid. Austin was as far as Texas goes. Austin was like the place to go. If you were too scared to, like, go to New York or L.A. people were like, just go to Austin. You know, it stayed busy, but it was also like, very woke and so you had to be like, real careful.

Yeah, well, you know what it is, it's Kill Tony, kill Tony's, because kill Tony's here that show. It sets the standard. Because it's all just about being funny. And people realize, like this idea that you're supposed to have, like some sort of fucking social message in your comedy.

Yeah, I also think it's just a lot of Californians and New Yorkers as well. Because, like, everybody started moving down here to be able to actually be on stage from New York or L.A. during Covid. And yeah, I feel like when they got here, they were like, you know, be careful, but everybody from California and New York was just like, No.

Well, it depends on where you're from, you know, I mean, there's pockets of people that are, like, enchanted by the wokeness in all sections of the country. You know, it depends. Like, if you're coming from the comedy store, it's just about being funny. But if you're coming from some of the other clubs in L.A. maybe it's not.

Well, I think another reason that it got so book wild, though, is because during Covid, if you were coming here, it's because you were already like, man, fuck the fucking Covid rules. You know what? I mean? If you're really that safe person, you're probably also that like, woke comedian. So I feel like those people stayed back while everybody who was ready to get Book Wild came down to Book Wild Town and got Book Wild.

I think you nailed it. Yeah, I think you nailed it. Because the people that came here were like, fuck this, like fuck, telling me that I can't do stand up.

Yeah.

Especially when you go on the road. And you realize that if you just live in L.A. and you never leave L.A. you think the world is L.A. And then you go to Nashville and you go, oh, they haven't lost their mind.

Yeah.

They didn't lose their mind in Nashville, they were normal, like you go to Dallas, they didn't lose their mind in Dallas. People kind of got a little freaked out for Covid for a couple of weeks and everybody sort of just settled in.

I see that a lot, too. I remember when I came down to Austin a few times during Covid to a lot of the comics from L.A. You were like, Jesus Christ, they were waiting on you to rise with your club. Dude. I was like, you had to put too much pressure on Joe Rogan, man.

It's a lot of pressure, bro.

Because I think it's not all L.A. comics, but there were a few that maybe felt like the Austin Comics weren't showing love to the L.A. Comics. They were like, man, they put us last on the mics, they don't book us on the shows. L.A. comics got to do our own thing. But they were like, just wait, man.

Yeah, everybody should be together, this is a fun artist community and it should be fun for everybody. There's no us versus them. Shut up, we're all comics.

I think it was only for a little bit during Covid when everybody was just rushing in.

Everybody was freaking out just about change in the world. There was a lot of weird shit going on in the world and everybody had a higher level of anxiety. And to take a chance. When you're young and you're coming up and everybody tells you, L.A. is where you have to be. Are you a 27 28-year-old comic? Oh my god.

You've got to get to LA.

It's not the case anymore, that's not real anymore. The thing that helps you more than anything is podcasts. that's the thing that helps you more than anything. number one social media podcasts.

I feel like it's letting people decide who gets to blow up, you know what I mean?

But stand-up has always, at least partially, been a meritocracy, but stand-up, the quality of your stand-up, is the most important thing. Whether or not people are laughing, that's the most important, it's always been the most important thing. So if someone is undeniable, they always come through.

They're fucked up 100. I know a handful of comics back home or in New York or L..A. Who I feel like are some of the funniest people in the world and don't have a lick of work ethic.

It's horrible, but some of them, it's not the work ethic. Some of them get jobs in the business like they're writers. Or like Owen Smith, who is one of the top 20 stand-up comics alive.

I mean, to each their own, if he's happy, he's happy, right?

Yeah, I think the writer's strike probably freaked him out. I think the writer's strike and the actor's strike freaked a lot of those guys out. They're like, Oh shit. Because if they just pulled a plug for five, six months in some sort of contract negotiations. Like, some of those executives were literally saying, wait these people out when they start losing their homes.

Yeah, I saw that, that's some cutthroat shit.

That's wild. Imagine if you got to go to work with those people after that, imagine, you know, that's how they feel about you.

I couldn't do that, I mean, I already didn't go that route, I don't know if I could ever go that route.

You could have gone that route in the 90s.

In the 90s, that was the only option, man.

In the 90s, when I first came to Hollywood in 94, that was what everybody wanted. You wanted, what Jerry Seinfeld had, you wanted, what Roseanne had. It was Brett Butler, who was what was that show called again Grace Under Fire?

That was the shit, dude.

If you were a comic that got a sitcom, now you got a house in Beverly Hills. You're fucking balling out of control, you're driving a Ferrari. Whoa, you made it. That's what everybody wanted.

Yeah.

And somewhere along the line, I think it was like the 2000s reality shows came around.

Everybody wanted a reality show.

They're so cheap to make, they're so cheap to make, and you don't, I mean, you have, like, you barely pay. The people that are on them, like all those real housewives and shit, they're not like making millions of dollars, I don't think.

You think they are? I don't know now, I'd like to know, just so I can talk shit to them.

I think like, maybe the new ones do. Obviously the Kardashians make a shitload of money, right? But I think they own their show.

But what about like-?

The point is like, they're way easier to make than a sitcom, way easier like Fear Factor was. You know, it was complicated in the stunts and all the stuff they had to do. But you don't have to write a script and like all that stuff, like, plays out on its own. It's like people competing.

Yeah, props to writers, man, props to writers, props to writers. I don't know. TV in general just kind of scares me.

You're just so attached to, like, other people's opinions of you, like you're constantly getting chosen for stuff.

I feel like, even though I've never done that, I do get tired of. Like comments, like, I know they say, never read the comments, but I read them. But it'll be like the like I can take a joke I can take.

You can't pay attention to that. That's just someone who doesn't look at schedules. I hate it, yeah, but that's like, just that's a crazy person. That's a lack of information.

Yeah, but I don't know why I stopped checking social media. I'll check it like once throughout the day, and if I happen to catch your message or your comment, I catch it, if not, fuck it.

You know what it's like, man? It's like when you're out at like, a party or a club or something like that. And someone yells across the room, Yo, what's up, Ralph?

Yeah.

You know? And you're like, Hey, what's up man? He goes, Dude, I'm a fan. what's up, how you doing? Then he'll give you some love.

Man, yeah, somebody tried to do that in, like, I think it was Denver. I was already pretty drunk and I was tripping off mushrooms, man, and I was like, in a playful mood.

Yeah, ice fighting is not smart.

It was the day before the Netflix special came out, so I was like, I'm not going to have a video of me getting knocked out in the ice come out the day before the special.

You have to know jujitsu if you're going to fight on the ice 100%.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're fighting someone on a slippery surface, all you have to do is grab them and you're both going to the ground.

All right, I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah, but don't fight, don't fight, man, don't fight on ice.

I feel like it's coming. Don't fight with mice. I'm getting heated just talking about this.

Don't fight, Ralph, you're a wild young kid, don't do it. you got a great career, don't fight.

I went to a boxing gym for a little bit earlier this year, I went for like two months.

That'd be good for you.

Yeah, I liked it. I want to do something different, though.

Boxing is one of the very best things ever for relieving tension if you're fucking tense. You got too much going on in your world, man. You just put on some good tunes. I have a wu-tang playlist that I play when I hit the bag.

I'd go early in the morning for private sessions and that's what I would put on. Some wu-tang, some RZa, RZA. Specifically. It has that one song that, like, You Can't Stop Me Now, yeah, it's like a boxing classic.

RZA's got so many jams, but for me, number one is protect your neck, that has to be on every playlist. And that's like when we would drive to the arena shows and sometimes we'd get a police escort. And there's something wild about cop cars with flashing lights and you're listening to protect your neck.

Nice. I've never had a police escort, but one time in a parking lot, I had a security guard escort. But they had, like the yellow lights, those aren't as threatening or as fun the yellow lights.

No, that's not as fun. You need blue lights.

It was also like a shopping center, parking lot. It's not exactly an arena, but.

Dude, some of the best comedy clubs ever, and there's little shopping center, mall places. yeah, little fucking clubs that you would never imagine were great, you know?

Little Funny bones.

Yeah, man shit, I've never been to that one that's at the Mall of America, but I heard that's dope, too.

That was like the first club I got to do, like when I started hitting the road, that was like our second club. I don't know. It was like November, like early November of 2022..

Are you from Dallas? Mm-hmm. Are you from Dallas? So, like Minnesota, winter is a different thing, man.

Oh, I loved it. That's crazy. I love the cold and I'm tired of the heat. Yeah, I'm so sick of the heat.

Oh, that's funny.

I finally had a reason to wear a jacket.

See, I grew up in Boston.

Oh, so, you're used to the cold?

The cold is fucking Boston, and I'm like, Fuck the cold, you can heat me up. That doesn't bother me at all. I know people die in the cold, people die in their car in the cold.

I love it, man, I'm skinny, I just layer up, wear like two, three jackets.

Oh, that's great, I'm kidding, as long as there's a place to get warm, yeah, that's the thing.

Yo, when Texas froze a couple years ago, I was somebody I think I was watching, like a video on Instagram, somebody was just like, if climate change, like, keeps getting worse, that will happen, but like for longer periods of time, or for like, colder temperatures. If that's true, then, yeah, I'm pretty scared.

Bro, that's all guesswork. Everyone's guessing. Yeah, there's definitely an impact. It's undeniable that human beings have an impact.

Holy shit.

Yeah, something crazy like that, and they were talking, it was God. I don't remember where I saw this.

I guess that's why they call it climate change.

It's because of the dust bowl.

The Dust Bowl.

What was that? I always hear about that.

Climate change?

The Dust Bowl.

It's bad for, like, a lot of, I mean, this is not exactly what it was, but a lot of bad farming and drought. It caused a bunch of bad crops. And they all turned to like, shit, they turned to dust, and it created giant dust storms all over the like western part of the country.

And that heated things up.

It led to a bunch of shit in the air that, like, caused problems with the storms and the sun. Wow, and it definitely did heat things up.

I bet they thought the world was ending right then and there. That's wild.

But anyway, the point is, if you go back in time, you know when they do these things called core samples. So they take this giant slab of the earth, you know, hundreds of feet down, and through that, you can, you know, they do carbon testing, so they know like this is from 1,000 years ago, this is from 2,000 years ago. When they do that, it's all over the place, man. They have these charts of the temperature of the Earth throughout history.

I'm learning a lot, man, learning about Hollywood in the 90s and climate change.

Bro, I'm here to teach.

This is such a one-sided podcast, man, it's not even fair.

No, it's not come on, man.

It's not, dude. I was thinking about that on the way over here.

It's a conversation.

It is, but like, do you realize how like this is? Like, bro, it's not even fair, bro. I have everything to gain here, like me, I'm 27, right?

Right?

And you know, you're Joe Rogan, you got the experience, you got the podcast, you got all this knowledge in the world of comedy business. If I just listen, I'm going to learn some shit today.

Come on, man, I love what you're doing right now. I really do. I love comics on the rise, it's exciting to me.

Well, comedy is fun.

I love comedy, I love good comics, and I love when people get better at shit, and I love watching it. I really do.

I'm definitely trying to get better.

You're fucking great man, you're funny as shit, you're cool, you're relaxed, you're smooth on stage.

Sometimes I won't be smooth on stage, sometimes I'll have a burst of energy and I'll let it out and I'll have fun that way. And I can tell some of the audience is like, Ah, this is fun. And some of them think I'm on drugs because they've never seen that. They're like, he's coked out.

Yeah, I know a few guys who have done, like the guys who had problems with Coke, who did Coke and then did stand-up, and they said it fucked their stand-up up.

I bet I'm sober on stage, like 98 of the time.

Yeah, you're smoother that way. Yeah, I like a drink, I like a drink every now and again, a little puff and a drink.

Sometimes you need that just to kind of lose, like.

Just to get in the fun mood, Yeah, we're having fun, you know?

Yeah, for sure. Sometimes you might be a little stressed depending on what's going on in your day or your week. And you need, like, a shot, a couple of hits to, like, take that off a little bit.

Take that edge off and just say, Come on, Ralph, enjoy this shit, you're on a fun ride. Yeah, let's go.

I just, I try to chill sometimes just because I know that if I do start drinking, I'm not gonna stop like, I'm not at. Like, a few beers in the night, I might. If I have two shows, I might drink a beer or two before the second show, I might drink another couple beers on the stage.

More dudes gonna bring you beers? Yeah, let me get them one too.

Yeah, so like, I won't drink on stage. If I do, I'll let them know like, I'm not fucking, you're not doing this to me.

Yeah, they could take you down a rabbit hole.

But after the show, if I already started drinking after the show, I'll keep it going.

Mitzi's is a fun place to be after the shows, where Mitzi's the bar downstairs at the Mothership.

Oh yeah.

After the shows, we're going downstairs.

All right, all right.

We're going, it's great, whole staff's partying, Mitzi's just hanging out.

You need home bases when you're on the road. A lot, I do.

I think you do, too.

Keep you human.

That's what we used to have at the store. It was a home base, all these guys that would tour on the weekends. We'd all meet each other at the bar. At the bar downstairs, it was a comedian's only bar, it was this beautiful bar, and the bar itself was Mitzi's.

No, I fucking love that, it's beautiful.

It's just a hang, man. Oh yeah, and so that's what we do at the mothership.

Dave has good music.

He's always got the best music. I always have Shazam on point. Yeah, I have it set up, so I tap the back of my phone three times and Shazam pops up.

Shazam pops up. Yeah, I just have it on the little pull-down menu or whatever. I don't know what you call it. I don't want to show you my messages.

I got a new case, it's a little thick. I might have fucked up my tapping. That was like the sweetest thing I could tap three times.

You're going to have to work out your hands more.

You're going to want to see Shazam comes up.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, I got to get better, finger strength, got to get better.

You're telling me, buddy?

Got to work on my piano skills. I imagine piano players, man, that kind of dexterity in your fingers, piano and guitar. anything you could do with your fingers like that, that's some wild dexterity.

There's Instagram videos, I got a trick for that. There's no need for dexterity these days. I mean, if you're going to play like a full-on song, then, yeah, you need dexterity and actual piano lessons. But if you're the type of guy like me who just every now and then comes across a piano and you want to impress people. There's these Instagram videos that have like four keys tops.

Well, that's a skill, you just have a very small skill, like you were playing pool earlier with Jake. You can make a ball, right? that's a skill.

I know enough to get by. I'm like, Leo on, catch me. If you can, I'll get by. I'll get some money, but there won't be a real career here.

Well, you know, that's one of the beautiful things about anything you learn, and then you realize how much more there is to learn. I remember when I first started doing stand-up. All you're trying to do is just get a laugh. All you're trying to do is figure out how to not drown up there. And slowly but surely try to find things that you think are funny.

That's what I love about stand-up, I've always loved to learn.

Yeah, it's a beautiful thing too, because you get this amazing feedback from all these people and you make them feel better. Yeah, when people leave a great show, they have this fucking smile on their face, like, Oh shit, that was great, that was so fun.

Sometimes girls want to have sex with you after.

That's crazy. You're bringing joy, you're just bringing joy to all these people, but you're getting better at it too. Dom Herrera said that to me once.

I'm motivated to do more of it, whether I kill or I bomb, because if I bomb, I'm like, Bro, would I have to fix that?

Have you seen Ron White lately? Ron White's sober now, he doesn't drink anymore, better than ever.

Yeah, better than ever, you see, that's why I want to stay sober.

Murdering, murdering, I mean, murdering. Ron White's a fucking assassin and he's, like, never been sharper.

I don't think you could retire with stand-up, I think, I mean, what do I know?

He was saying that he was just going to do the club. I'll just do the mothership. I'm like, yeah, for a while, you're just going to do the mothership, but you're going to get there, bitch.

I don't know, yeah, I don't know what he's going through or anything. But I feel like this is the type of game where you could try to retire, you could try to take breaks, but man, there's no finishing this.

And you're doing it with people that are like, you, yeah, we're weirdos. Yeah, we could find other comics to hang out with.

Fucking dope man.

It's beautiful.

It's hard to like joke, it's hard to go back from that when you get used to talking shit with comics. My group of friends that I grew up with, we talked heavy amounts of shit to each other, there was no line.

Way, way, way, way down the road.

Yeah, and I'm like, fuck.

You passed their line in the third grade.

Yeah, I've said some jokes in front of the family of girls I've dated or something like that where they're just like, Holy shit, man. I'm like, all right, my bad, my bad. It's tough to go back, but sometimes I kind of miss that too.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. Yeah, I mean, I got a lot of friends that have regular jobs, one of my best friends. He works as a maintenance guy at a high school. I've known him since I was like 24, 23..

We've been friends forever. Do you ever imagine like—?

Shout out to Tommy Jr.

Yo, what up, Tommy Jr?

To like regular life.

Yeah, do you ever? yeah?

Well, I think everybody that gets real famous. There's a certain amount of pressure that comes with that, that's not comfortable for some people. You know, like you think how it is like reading your comments, can you imagine if I read my comments?

I was going to ask you about that, too. Do you ever read them?

No, they're not good for you, they're not.

No.

I think the bad ones are not good for you, and the good ones aren't good for you either.

No, they can't be because you've got to stay you, no matter what.

And that's difficult. A lot of guys lose their mind, and I've lost my mind a few times and got it back, but you can lose your mind. Oh, for sure.

Yeah.

Energy that you could spend on positive things, like friendships, like a hobby that you enjoy, like your loved ones, like positive things about life.

I'm learning, yeah, I'm learning that, at least for me, I don't know.

Only you know, yeah.

Learning that.

Yeah, but that's, I guess. That's the case with everything. And there's nothing wrong with people expressing opinions. But I just don't think it's good for you to get engaged with them.

Oh, I've engaged.

I'm sure.

I engaged for like, a good two hours, but here's what I fucked up, not only engaging is. I waited to post a clip.

You did it on purpose, you were ready.

Yeah, yeah, I was like, Nah, because I want to see what people say, right?

Right?

I didn't. I was like, I don't know if he's saying they're wrong. I mean, fucking robot doesn't taste weird, but I mean, you need it, right.

Well, there's a shitload of them in Florida, yeah, all the people that came from communist countries.

Oh, here in Texas, too, because they're, like, fuck that nonsense, so a lot of the people who came from.

You know, one of these little cigars?

Yeah, yeah.

These little Ron White specials, Ron White got me on these little cigars, little baby cigars, you know, finish a whole one.

A lot of the people who were commenting were like people who came from communist countries. And I don't know their experience. I don't know the experience of anybody really. I'm just up there talking some shit.

You're just talking shit, yeah.

I was like, you shouldn't be, and people were in the comments, they were like, they're like, Well, Ralph doesn't understand politics.

Yeah, I'm just talking shit.

Also, I just said, you look weird, I didn't say anything wrong with it, you know what I mean? Some Versace shirts look weird.

They do look weird.

But they're nice, they're nice, you know what I mean?

Wasn't that what Shane got for the fights? He got a Versace shirt, a golden Versace shirt, that shit looked dope. That's a bold move.

I saw that, Yeah, yeah, I know I know what you're talking about.

Look at him with the president, with the former president.

That's a badass picture, by the way. I'm not like a Trump supporter or nothing, but that's just a fucking dope picture.

That's a fun picture. Have you ever seen Shane's Trump impression? Yeah, it's fucking insane. It's so good.

You have, like, an ashtray, Oh, right there.

If I was Trump's friend, I'd try to get him to shave his head. Yeah, I'd be like, come on, bro.

I want to take more cool pictures like that, just post them every now and then. And I don't think he put like a caption, right?

I don't know what he put up.

I don't think he put a caption, Bro, that's fucking genius. That's why this dude is like the next goat, bro.

Oh, he's so funny, man, he's so funny. That video he has about Navy seals. Oh my God, I could watch it a hundred times.

Bang, bang, bang.

He hits you with those bang, bang, bangs.

I love, I love the upstairs room, the little boy, because you got comics going up, but you also have, like every employee in the mothership, going up.

Yeah, well, they're all comics.

Yeah, they're all comics, too, but you're giving them a chance, man. A lot of comics work. The club to try to, like, get in with the club, like across the country, whatever their club is.

Well, we all came from open mics, everybody did like, that's the only way to do it, you have to get on stage.

There's the art side and the business side.

Yeah, well, that's.

There's got to be a balance to it.

That's where you, yeah, you got to, you got to, I don't know, man.

I.

No one else, I don't know anybody else who did it this way. Because we had to do it in a way where we all got up and moved right. So it was crazy in the first place.

Yeah, and then he gave you these cigars.

Yeah, he loves these little cigars.

I like these a lot.

They're good if you want a whole cigar.

I never smoked a cigar until I hung out with Bert Kreischer.

You want a big one, you want a real cigar.

Yeah, I'll take a big cigar.

Hold on, please hold.

You make those cigars.

No foundation cigars do.

Oh, I've never heard of that company. I'm new to the cigar world, I just got into it, like in the summer, I'm learning.

Shout out to my man Nick, Yeah, this dude. I was super skeptical. He goes, We made you some cigars. I'm like, come on, man.

Like Willy Wonka when he traveled to the jungle to find oompa loompas and stuff.

Something like that any time I hear like, you know how them work, dudes?

Like that, Oh shit.

Any time I meet a dude who's like, really into something, like my friend Evan from Black Rifle Coffee, that dude is like, super, super into coffee. And he's got this laboratory at his factory. He took us to the Black Rifle warehouses, where they do all their work there.

Professional sippers.

But that's when you're going to get that dope coffee, that really good coffee.

I just got into coffee this year, coffee and cigars. That's 2023. Ralph right there.

I had this dude on once.

I always forget his name. There are a lot of dudes on here once.

PETER JULIAN Yeah, I've had a lot of dudes on there, but I had this dude on who was a real coffee expert and he schooled me in all the different kinds of coffee and how they grow them.

Hey, you had this one guy on here once. I remember watching the clips on YouTube where he was talking about, like Christianity, like ancient Christianity.

Yeah.

And he asked you.

Yeah.

But I forgot the exact question he asked you, He was like, Can I tell you? He was like, Can I tell you about?

He's like, What are you going to tell me? are you going to say a magic spell? What are you going to say?

He was talking about, I don't remember all of it, I just remember he was talking about like that. Christianity used to be kind of like a cult, and then he was saying something about.

Who was that, Jamie? you know who that is?

I was thinking he was talking about Brian Murray.

Brian Murray Probably.

It could have been somebody else.

It might have been Brian Brian's amazing.

Yeah, I mean, it was a cool episode. I learned a lot of shit about Christianity that I later forgot, but it was just that one.

It's what's interesting about Christianity. Everybody wants to know what was the first shit they wrote down, like everybody knows, like the New Testament, right?

Yeah, I don't really like that that they be changing shit, you know, give me one set of rules.

Even if it is the writings of Jesus, even if it is the writings, even if all that is unadulterated, it's not been altered by human beings, it's still put together by people.

You ever do that thing?

And very different than the Old Testament.

They, I remember, they did this, like at Barber College once, just to, like, teach us a lesson or some shit. I don't know, but they had this long bench.

And then they got to keep telephone game.

Yeah, you got to just keep whispering the secret down the line. And by the end of the line, it's a totally different sentence, right?

Yeah, the Bible was, they think they, it was an oral.

God damn.

Yeah.

That's a lot of mix up.

Could be, Yeah, for sure, people could have added some shit in there.

You religious at all, like you go to church or anything, you follow a religion.

I'm not religious, but I'm not an atheist. people always say I'm an atheist, I'm not an atheist.

I feel like I'm on something like that, you know, there's something going on out there. I mean, I grew up like, somewhat Catholic.

It would be nice if there was a good one, one you could like, really lock into, like, man, you guys are making sense.

Well, I just like that people really like, lock into something and I don't know, man, I want to.

Right, but it's a nice gang to be a part of.

Right?

Very aggressive gang.

But I also feel like the gang I belong to, whether I like it or not, is like the comedy world, yeah.

Yeah, that's our gang, but I think religion helps a lot of people, and I don't necessarily think it's.

Do you think they got it at Barnes and Nobles?

I think you probably get it now, I know it got, yeah, it got republished, it was.

I didn't know the Catholic Church was buying out books like fucking.

They didn't want this one out.

Some wolf of Wall Street shit.

I don't know if that's true, I need to find out if that's true, because I've said it before, because someone told it to me, dude.

You say with enough confidence, it's true.

Yeah, if you say with enough confidence, you can get, but people will.

Catholic Church bought out GameStop a couple years ago.

They're responsible for Battlefield Earth. Hell yeah.

Man, that's crazy that they were riding on like cow skin.

Yeah, that's all they had.

Fucking cows, man, cows have never had it easy on this earth. Nope, nope.

Right, even if they have a good life, it's only like 16 years old.

What is it like in Japan, where they really like massage them? Yeah, imagine being that cow.

The thing about cows is if you care about, like, suffering, if you.

Oh, yeah, right, yeah, they get eaten, yeah.

Most of them are not going to make it past being a calf mound. Lions, bears, wolves.

Fat ass, I don't know. The wolves are back in town, the wolves are back in town.
