Jim Motherfucking brewer.
Good to see you, my brother.
You too, man. I feel like I'm seeing a high school friend I know, and I've been out of high school for a long time.
Well, when we met, we were like fresh out of high school. when we met, we were in our early 20s.
Yeah, we were really young, yeah.
We were young, bro, we've been friends for like, 31 years, dude, it's so crazy, maybe 32..
It might be 32 years.
Yeah, well, I've been married 30, yeah, and I wasn't married, I was with the same girl.
Yeah, yeah.
And so that was at least 31 32 years ago.
At least 31 32 years ago, yeah.
Bro, you cracked me up then and you cracked me up now.
We had a good fucking time, we had a good time back then, and we had a good time last night. Dude, last night was so much fun. God, that club is such a fun hang.
I love seeing you enjoy life, I love seeing you enjoy life and watching you. It's like, what I love about you is you've never changed, and you always. You love comedy, you love stand-up comedy.
And to see you just eating, breathing, talking, living, loving, stand-up bro, you would fucking go in the main room. I'd get there right, and your chat, it's crushing, crushing. I'm watching the balcony like a 15-year-old going.
Bro, that felt good for me, you know, when you're able to watch another guy and laugh your fucking balls off. And then you come inside and you're talking more comedy with all the dudes in there. And then you go in the little room and you're telling me. Because I'm way out of my element.
Last night I was just like, this whole time, what the fuck is going on right now? Holy shit.
You slipped right into it. Come on, man, you felt like you belonged at that place, huh? You felt like you belonged at that place.
Like, immediately, the moment you went on stage, we were in the balcony watching you, I was crying. That was the best impression of me I've ever seen anybody do. Well, it's fascinating watching you.
Ridiculous I am. I'm in the green room and you're just, you know, the guys are talking about fighting, and you're just like just every movie. You're like, dude, you've got to go slow.
It's reputations, wah wah, wah, wah, wah wah, and then you struggle, but you always stay right here.
And all of them are watching. You're like, I'll watch you. You could sell me probably going into the UFC for this one.
Fucking captivating. I really had a good time. Well, a lot of those guys are getting into martial arts.
Huh, it's a lot of those guys are getting into martial arts because, like, guys are trying jujitsu. It's really interesting because it's like they're realizing like, there's something to that, there's something to doing that thing, that very difficult physical thing.
It makes you better at other stuff.
I want to do it, and I didn't commit to it yet because I know.
Just go with Joey. Joey loves it, Joey Diaz. He does jujitsu all the time.
He's in jersey, right?
Yeah, you're not in Jersey anymore, you're in Florida now, there's plenty of places in Florida, I could say.
There is plenty.
Oh my god, Florida is filled with like high-level jujitsu.
But what I was going to say was, knowing what you're capable of definitely adds to everything about you, the way your whole day goes about. Like, it creates a fearless, if that makes sense.
Well, it's just like. It gives you more of an understanding of other stuff. Like, if you get good at a thing that's hard to do, it gives you a better understanding of how to get good at other stuff.
Yeah.
And discipline and just life in general. Having a difficult thing that you do in your life, I think makes the rest of life easier. I really do, and I think we're just humans are so adaptable, man.
You look at people that live in horrible conditions and they seem fine, like you ever see. Like these videos of these villages. And these kids are playing and there's just dirt, there's nothing else, and they're just kicking around a homemade soccer ball, laughing and giggling.
Joe So two years ago we go on a big vacation, right? I like going to Africa, I like, and we go to this tribe.
What part of Africa did you go?
This one was in Kenya, it was right outside of Kenya, we flew into Nairobi, it was just outside of Kenya.
But remember when you were a kid and like, you build a fort, me and you were hanging out for 12 years, are you going to build a fort? Yeah, okay, you're going to end up getting like, Okay, I got a trash can.
I got my dad's jacket, I got the hood of a car, and we love. And then once you build a fort, then you're inside and you're like, this is where we're going to cook, dude. That's what these guys lived in and they it was like watching kids play fort, and they were just so proud.
I went in, I'll show you a picture later. It's so fucking cool. You go in and they, that's all they got. I think that when you say that's all they got, it's a misconception.
Yeah, because they exist, just like we exist, like they're alive and thriving, just like we're alive and thriving. It's just a completely different way of living, a hunter-gatherer's way of living. Apparently. When you talk to, and I'm not talking about, like, let's be real clear.
I'm not talking about like third-world people who live in like rural poverty. I'm talking about hunter-gatherers, I'm talking about people that exist off the land, right? There's something about that they think resonates with people, because that's how we evolved.
And so when people do that, they're very happy. Like, they had a really interesting docu-series on Vice back in the day called Heinmo's Arctic Adventure. And it's about this guy, Heinmo Korth. I hope I'm saying his name, right, I think I am.
And this dude moved up to the Arctic in, like the 1970s, and he's been there ever since. This dude doesn't have a. He's got a TV with like VHS tapes, and he watches movies occasionally. He saw about 9-11, he saw a photo of 9-11, he's still never seen the planes go into the towers.
And this guy moved up there and met this woman, this Indigenous woman, and had a family with her. And this fucking guy lives in. Like a log house that's in the middle of the woods, and he's surrounded by grizzly bears. He had to kill a grizzly bear on camera. In the middle of this thing, the grizzly bear was coming to kill his dog or eat his caribou or something. No, it's killed one of his dogs in the past.
Like, you'd have your dogs tied up outside to bark to make sure that they know when bears are coming. And a bear ate his fucking dog, the dog was tied up, they came back, the dog was dead. Or just pieces of it?
Like, and this guy lives like this and he's so happy, but he's also super intelligent. So when this guy's talking, he's explaining how. I think this is how people are supposed to live.
Well, not only that, too, but knowing that your life, or any life, can end at any moment, at any time. I think when you have a reality that just how delicate all of life is, you have a different perception and you take and you look at things a lot differently. Like you lose someone, you truly lose. This fucker knows all of them are vulnerable, including himself.
He lost a baby, he lost a two-year-old baby. It fell out of their boat in the rapids. I mean, this is how difficult their life is, that they're forced to hold a two-year-old baby in the rapids.
There's no other way to do it. They have to get through, so everyone has to survive. And the thing tipped over.
It's like, well, and we live in our world where a two-year-old gets cancer, right? And you watch that kid go through things and have 10, 15 operations, yeah, and then you finally lose them.
It's life, that's the part, like it doesn't matter. Part of me wants to go back to that.
I know it's going to be a battle, but there is part of me that feels like this should be the new school. But is there a mix between living that way? And like, Hey man, let's go get some pizza and burgers? Yeah, let's go see a Franken-movie.
Yeah, or let's go see, we have to get two nuts out. Here is there? Because I like, that's the new school, learning how to build a home, learning how to live off the land.
Dude, you know what I saw? That was fascinating. The other day, they took apart this 100-plus-year-old Japanese building that was made with no nails. The craftsmanship is so insane.
They have these wood cuts where they wedge into each other perfectly, and then they have a separate wedge that they put in each piece to secure it in place. And they built this house this way, with no nails, over 100 years ago.
Is this like the log cabin thing, too, where you –?
No, but it's not like a log, it's like perfect, like a log cabin. It's kind of rough, you know, like they do that and they make those cuts and they slide them in place, but it's a little rough. I'm talking about like this precision thin cuts on wood, where they mesh together perfectly.
I saw this, I saw a complete opposite where they built into the ground, and I don't know if it was like India or whatever. They had brown skin and they built this most incredible underground bedroom just from digging and placing things over certain areas. So they just went into a mountainside, it wasn't even a mountainside.
The hillside, yeah, where they went into the ground like a hobbit house, yes.
Wow, it was so cool.
Yeah, this is it, look at how they did this, this is the Japanese construction. Isn't that insane? Look how they made these fucking perfect cut wedges and they just slide into each other.
And they had this whole building built like this, there's no nails, and it existed like this perfectly for a hundred years.
So they're deconstructing it, I'm hoping that they're going to reconstruct it, I don't know what they're doing.
So how old is this thing?
Over a hundred years old, I believe, a hundred years ago. Yeah, it's joinery. When I was looking it up, it says that that's how they did construction in Japan back then. It's amazing.
A bunch of videos have shown this stuff, it's amazing because it's not like they didn't have nails back then. But what's fascinating about someone who's willing to commit to building stuff like this is like, this is engineering, this is art, this is architecture. I mean, these guys look at how they're doing this, man.
When they're making all these things slide into each other and secure in place with wedges, this is incredible, they said. They're bug repellent, too. Oh, treated with bug repellent.
That probably gives you cancer. We've got a bug repellent. That stuff's so nasty. When I did construction, I used to have to carry pressure-treated lumber.
Because I was a grunt and pressure-treated lumber. You get splinters in you and you're basically getting inoculated.
It's so chemical.
What the fuck is pressure-treated lumber pressure-treated with? It? Smells terrible. It's amazing. I did one job that I had during the summer with my friend Jimmy Lawless.
He got me a job working for his construction company, and Jimmy was a carpenter at the time, and I was a laborer. And we had to build a Knights of Columbus ramp, and it was just carrying pressure-treated lumber and cement all day.
Dude, I did two weeks of that. How old were you?
I guess I was 18.
Yeah, somewhere around 18. That's the last thing you ever did. I was like, Fuck this.
Because I had entertained some romantic ideas of going into construction, but I wasn't interested in it. I did a lot of construction gigs because my stepdad was an architect, so I was always on construction sites when I was a kid. But that is fucking hard work, man.
Dude, that's a whole different level of work, you're getting up early, you're using every muscle in your body. I did that for three days. Tops, I think I'm not even kidding.
What happened to me was he goes, We're working on this. Whatever building, I don't know it was a church, whatever it was, I'm petrified of heights, so I was fine on the ground, gathering things and bringing shit.
But when he was like, Okay, take this screw gun and then you're going to go up the scaffold and fucking, I was like, What?
Yeah, no, harness, right? no, nothing, just glide that thing.
So I stood there.
I stood there.
And every time he was looking, it looked like I was.
And then he caught on like 50. He's like, Bru, you haven't even kid, you haven't even gotten one in. I'm like,....
And then he calls you out, Are you afraid of heights? Are you fucking serious right now?
Are you afraid of dying?
Joe, you bring this guy, he's afraid of fucking heights.
I'm sorry, that's called being intelligent, bro. You're supposed to be afraid of heights.
Petrified?
Petrified?
Petrified?
Dude, when I watch those Alex Honnold videos, that guy climbing the mountains where it's like, at this angle, he's like, literally hanging on with his fingers and toes, crawling his way thousands of feet above the rocks. Like, What are you doing?
What about the guys in the buildings?
Jesus Christ, Oh yeah.
Like buildings.
James Kingston sent me this, this is him like, this crazy fucker, this crazy fucker. look what he's doing, man.
This is not good. Like, look at this way, he's got to climb this thing.
Oh my.
Yeah, what the fuck are you doing, bro? And he's barefoot. My feet would be so sweaty, I would be slipping and sliding all over the place. He just got to the top and he didn't even know what was going to happen.
He's like, How do I do this? Yeah, he's fucking stuck. Oh, Jesus Christ.
I can't look at that.
Take it away, take it away.
Take it away, stop it.
So that's called being intelligent, though.
So I remember one time I was with my kids, I'm with the family and we go and the kids really want to go on this Ferris wheel. All right, but I think I remember where it was.
It was definitely in the maybe it was Canada. It doesn't fucking matter. All I know is you're in a cage and this one goes really high, really high, all right.
Yeah.
So I'm like, you know what, the kids? This one's seven, I'll be cool. We got in, I don't think I made it to halfway.
And then they started with the shaking and the fucking shaking, and I was so scared I threatened my child's life. I told them I was going to punch their fucking faces. I swear to God.
I'm screaming going, I will punch your fucking face in right now. I swear to God and my wife's like, can't stop. And that was it, man, that was it.
Shut my eyes fucking. I'm never tempting heights ever again in my life, I don't need to. I'm 55, I'm done.
Fucking done.
It's not necessary.
It's not necessary, I don't need it.
Having a job where you literally risk your life climbing scaffoldings and hanging on while you're screwing things in.
Bro.
It's crazy, it's hard work, man.
That's man shit.
Shout out to all the construction workers out there listening to this. That's man stuff, that's real work.
That's man stuff.
That was one of the most important things about me becoming a comedian, having really hard labor jobs and realizing I don't want to do this. I got to figure something out.
No, my dad was sanitation, I'd watch him, I don't know if I can, I'd watch people working all day.
I don't know if I can do this, dude.
Also, imagine if you're doing sanitation and you're grabbing garbage cans and you're, what are you smelling all day? What are you smelling all day? And how can that not be bad for you? Toxic fumes If you work in a factory, you have to have the respirator thing on and the masks. How is that okay that these garbage men are just breathing in toxic fumes all day?
If you can smell it, that means it's getting in your body.
His whole crew were all World War II guys, they all came back, they all just came back from that, they all hook each other up.
Right, and they all got jobs doing that solid job, solid job. I mean, maybe they don't smell it too much.
Maybe the way they do it now.
They smelled it, he come home smelling like pure ass, ass and dog shit. It was horrifying.
There's certain jobs where, like Jesus Christ, like, how do you protect people like that in a pandemic like you can't stop them from working? Isn't it funny that, like certain people were allowed to keep working?
Dude, don't get me started on that shit.
What was weird is like they had jobs that were deemed critical.
That was my favorite.
Yeah.
We will tell you what jobs are essential.
What was essential? Yeah, so that meant if you were non-essential, like you didn't contribute to society, you were non-essential.
We will decide who is essential.
The weird thing is that podcasting was essential.
It was very essential.
But it was, yes, it was, it was listed as because it's entertainment, the show must go on.
The people need to be entertained.
Meanwhile, we didn't know we were part of the sub show.
Yeah, we were part of a weird show.
Yes.
I remember the early days like Dana White wanted to put on an event and they were saying, No, you can't have events anymore.
Because of Covid.
Yeah, because of Covid, it was like, shut the fuck up, I'm going to find a place for this. And then eventually we wound up doing it indoors with no audience. Eventually it was a few months in. They wound up doing. We did a show in Jacksonville, I believe.
It was definitely Florida, I think it was Jacksonville, and no audience in an arena, it was wild.
I remember that.
It was weird because it was a big ass arena and you know, there's just us and everybody's weirded out.
Just like such a small amount of people.
And everybody's like, are we going to die? Like, is this like, what the fuck is this? It was like the early days of the pandemic, everybody was still really weirded out by it.
You know, it was very frustrating for me because I just came off of, like the impractical Joker Cruise. I just toured, I left Metallica and then did my own tour, so all I thought about was, okay, all those tours that were out there.
All those bands, thousands of bands are touring everywhere, and all of a sudden in March, like, everything's shut, but up until February, you had thousands of different bands, all the meet and greets.
All the hotels, all the airlines, all the partying.
And no one out of that. You never heard anyone dying, and I saw I would do meet and greets. Have people coughing on me. I didn't know anyone dying, and I'm not saying people didn't die.
We're not saying that because they get pissed. It's like, is someone right now going? Are you saying someone didn't die? No dude, it's not what I'm saying.
You want to hear the most fucked up statistic that I've heard recently? 74 of hospitalizations and deaths could have been prevented. Is it 74? Is that the number with vitamin D?
If people had adequate levels of vitamin D, I don't know if that's real, but I read this whole report on it and I was like, if that number's real. And they knew that vitamin D was essential to fighting off diseases.
If they knew that it was essential to the immune system, and they didn't tell everybody, they didn't just scream it from the rooftops. Hey, there's this cheap thing that you can get and it really protects you.
It helps you a lot, it's great for you, it's actually a hormone, right? And it's great for you. You should go out in the sun and get it naturally if you can.
But if you can't, you need to get some of this vitamin D. It's really going to help you.
Bro, when?
And I would tell everyone.
I would get into debates.
I just got in it with a friend and people you love. And the example of when you got sick and then you come on and you say, Hey, this is what I did, and blah, blah, blah.
And hey, it helped me. That's all you did, yeah, now, and it's such an.
It's how nobody sees that moment. If the world is in such utter despair from a disease or whatever you want to, it's killing everyone.
Now, let's say it wasn't that we didn't have the news. You just heard people go, Oh my God, everyone's dying, everyone's gone and like, Well, what do we got to do about it?
You have to get a shot in the neck, you got to get the shot. Well, is there any other? No, there's not. And then out of nowhere.
Someone goes, Hey man, I ate this plant. I'm not saying no, I'm just telling I ate this plant and it's this berry.
Actually, it kind of tastes another. I ate the berry and then I did, like, 10 jumping jacks and fucking stood out in the sun for an hour. And I don't know which of the remedy.
But it helped you think one person will go, whoa, what did you do? Not one human being, and when you saw the vicious attack?
Well, it was a coordinated response. It's like it's very clear why they did it. They did it because I said that I got better and I wasn't vaccinated. Dude, I got better quick.
And they were mad, and so the best thing they did, the dumbest thing they did, was say, I took veterinary medicine. They're talking about a drug that is in the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. It's like they've had billions of prescriptions, not like 100,000..
Like billions of prescriptions of ivermectin.
I got so pissed at some of my heroes, like, you know, Terry Bradshaw, sorry to bring up his name. I can't look at him anymore, I can't look at him anymore.
He's on Fox.
What did he do NFL?
And he's like, let's face it, they're horse pills. I'm like, Oh, dude, they bought you too.
He just didn't know, he doesn't know. He's probably one of those guys that scared the disease. He's an older guy and they have a heightened level of anxiety when it comes to this.
And they think that people are being irresponsible, that's what they really believe. He just was misinformed. That's all it is, you're right.
He just didn't know that. Like this narrative, that there's only one way to deal with this and that this way is actually going to stop it. Well, if it is going to stop it, why do you care who gets it? you should just get it.
Because if you get it, that means that no one else is going to. You're never going to get it. Everybody who gets the shot is never going to get it. That was the narrative, that was a lie from the beginning.
And now we're realizing that it was a lie. Everybody realized it was a lie now. I was talking to someone last night that had Covid really fucking bad after being vaccinated, like, really bad.
Two weeks wrecked.
So I have a great friend.
And his daughter, college, gets the shot. She ends up in the emergency room.
And she's got blood clots on her liver and they're all like, you know, what do you think of it? Well, you know, she rows a lot on the row team. Are you really going to believe that's what it was?
Well, people do anything to not blame it on the vaccine. Like when there's an injury, people want to find all sorts of other reasons. If there was any other thing that came along, that was a new novel remedy for things. And then there was this host of side effects that were attached to it, people would want to be investigating those side effects.
But because this thing came along during the pandemic, and what Robert Malone talks about. Where you have one solution that's presented to a problem that's isolating society, people are literally trapped, and this one thing is offered up as a solution.
And anything that's opposing that gets attacked, because everybody does the work of the propaganda machine. The regular people do that work because they genuinely believe that you're a knucklehead if you don't go and get vaccinated.
And you're going to fuck this up for everybody and we're never going to get back to work. So they have that in their head and that's their narrative. He just never looked.
He's an old guy, okay? He probably wasn't looking into it, and he really thought that he was probably doing the right thing, encouraging people to go get it.
I will I get that? I totally get that 100%.
But I feel like people like him and everyone that have been out there, even the ones that believed everything. And that's okay, because they get scared and I get it.
Yeah, there's still ladies on air, there's still masks on planes, you can tell they're scared, they're scared.
They got them, but they need to understand. It's like when you're humbled, Hey man, I might have been.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that, it's all cool, but I guess by their actions, I still feel it. But what makes me crazy is, isn't that a well-orchestrated, marketed, funded way to murder?
At the end of the day, like to purposely keep people from getting healthy and actually stopping people. What if your mother?
That's your angel in your life.
And what's being forced and threatened?
And ridiculed and shamed.
Is that child or that husband?
And they do it, and the people that created all this, let's not pretend they don't exist. The people that created this, they knew exactly what they were doing.
Because they planned this in steps. You're not that smart to pull this off without really putting a lot of logic into this. And to me, that's murder. I don't know how you explain it any other way.
Well, what gets really creepy is if they're ignoring evidence on certain things, that could be beneficial.
Because those things are not going to earn the money, because then you lose all trust in them. Because, like, all you're offering up is a pharmaceutical remedy. For whatever the situation is, you're not saying that there's any other things that can help.
When we know that human bodies, there's a lot of things going on, man. And your nutrient levels are very important, your metabolic health is very important for your immune system. All those things are connected and together.
And to think that the way to fix that is only an injection, says. Who and why are we listening to people that say that anybody that says that is crazy?
The whole thing is important, all of your health is important. We should be encouraging people to be fit and healthy, and to make healthy food choices and to take supplements.
And to exercise regularly and to, like, meditate.
Those things are as good as medicine. If what you could get from being healthy was available in a medicine, it would be the most popular medicine in the fucking world. What you could get from being a fit, healthy, happy person? Holy shit, would that be a valuable medicine?
And you can get it for free, that's available. You just gotta do it. And they don't tell you that because they don't really give a fuck about your health.
They give a fuck about you following the rules, and if you follow the rules, especially pertaining to this one, then they make a fuck load of money and they have no accountability.
And that's what it is.
It's unbelievable.
That's what it is. And so when someone like me says, Hey, I got better real quick, they're like, Oh, you fucking idiot.
You're taking horse dewormer?
They're all saying it on CNN, so CNN lies now, you know, they lie. Because they knew I wasn't taking veterinary medicine. They knew that the guy who invented it literally won the Nobel Prize.
It's so dumb, it's one of the dumbest checkers move ever. You know what it is? It's like playing chess and you just run your king out to the middle of the table. Fuck you man.
You're taking horse medicine. We're just gonna repeat it over and over again. No one's gonna know the difference, no one's gonna research the billions of human prescriptions, the fact that it's an antiviral.
That it stops viral replication in vitro, that there's studies on it, the fact that it stops yellow fever. People get all these parasites, it kills them.
You're so stupid, it was one of the dumbest things. How could anyone ever trust them now, when you know that? This is how they treat something as so easily provable of being false and what doesn't make any sense?
Like, the attack literally makes no sense. You should be asking, Hey, how'd you get better so quick? exactly? And I got the hard one. Supposedly, that's the Delta.
Like, how'd you get better so quick?
That is common sense.
Common sense.
But how did they create this?
Because this one narrative thing, the thing that Dr. Malone talked about. Instead, it was like saying, Oh, what kind of life choices is he making? What medicines did he take?
What are monoclonal antibodies? What is IV vitamins? How does that help when you're sick?
When you're normal sick, or is it just Covid that it helps? IV, zinc, IV, vitamin C and D and B. All that shit is fucking amazing for you.
Do you think that enough people realized? Because that's the thing if you're just hanging out with someone, if you're hanging out with me, and eventually I start lying to you all the time.
Are you going to take anything? I say, seriously?
Right, it's over.
Who in your life do you know?
That lies all the time that you take seriously.
And you take seriously so now that every media group that exists.
Lied right to your face, right to like, while they were doing it, someone had to have been writing it going.
Oh my god, this is like such dick stuff.
But I love being fucking dick, you know what it's like? The corporations we want to think of them as being these impossibly large machines that make money.
And they are, but they're just run by people, and some people are Dorks, and those Dorks get important jobs. And they put Dylan Mulvaney on a bud light can.
That's what it is. These are dorks, and you see the response that Bud had the most recent response, it's like, the fucking dumbest.
Pro-America raw.
You don't know who you really are. Now. There's like interviews with the lady who is the head of Bud Light, talking about why they did it.
And about the old sort of frat culture attached to Bud Light, dismissing the people and like the humor of the people that like Bud Light.
And so they're going to change that with this crazy attention whore on day 365 of being a woman. I mean, we are in a fucking Coen Brothers movie.
This is a Mike Judge movie.
You're a thousand percent correct. How does nobody else see what lunacy is going on right now?
There's no other way to explain it, bro, you got to watch this Bud Light commercial, this new Bud Light commercial, find the new Bud Light commercial. It's the dumbest pro-America.
Raw, raw. It's so stupid and cliche, it hurts my feelings, it's so dumb.
Listen to this.
This is a company in deep shit, bro.
And they make things like this.
Look, you got the prairies, the ocean, you got a Clydesdale running down the street. Let me tell you a story about a beer.
Rooted in the heart of America.
Found in a community where a handshake is a sure contract. What the fuck are you talking about? Opportunity and challenge?
You know, I would respect them if they had this. And then Dylan Mulvaney just starts cartwheeling it to the frame.
Day 368 of Womanhood. This is when some CEO is like, Who is in charge? He's 90 years old.
Get him.
This is how we used to do it.
He's a goddamn Clydesdale, first of all.
Look at this.
This is the story of the American spirit. Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up now, I hate you more.
Like, what are you doing, what is that, what was that?
You can't come out in like chicks clothes and then turn around and bring a stallion out.
The problem is, if you let CEOs talk about stuff like that and give their opinions about stuff like that, then everybody knows who you are.
So you can't just make this commercial.
That's AI generated, that's probably a chat GPT 4.0 version of the perfect American commercial.
That's really what it is.
That shit didn't have nothing to do with drinking bud light, either. By the way, that made me want to move to Montana, like you want to be in the mountains, see the dust and shit.
But that's the dumbest commercial of all time. But it's so obvious what they're doing, they're trying to, like. They needed to let that sit for a little bit.
But that's what I'm saying.
There's guys on the board going, I don't know if this is a good decision, bro.
I don't think they get to. I think that lady made a decision and she thought inclusiveness is important and we're going to open up the brand to new people.
Or is this like an organized crime hit?
The thing is like, if she didn't make the thing about frat boy culture, if she didn't like, kind of disparage. What was her exact quote? See if you can find her exact quote.
She didn't disparage the humor of the people that enjoy the product. That is such a crazy move.
Well, that's what I'm saying. It's just like an organ in my head. I go wacky, but.
What I'm saying is like, if she just said, like, everyone can, like Bud light, like if that was her. And she's like, America is the freedom to be whoever the fuck you want to be.
If that's what they said, I'd be like, Okay, great. She was disparaging, she was talking about inclusivity and talking about like this sort of frat culture.
Around Bud Light, T..o..'s name is Brendan Whitworth. Is that the guy? There was a woman saying, Yeah, see, that's a man.
So this person was a woman. Unless I'm misgendering them, Jesus Christ, don't say it, it was a woman, for sure.
There's videos of her talking about it, there's videos of her talking about why she made the decision to do this.
You can say that we want other people, like America's freedom, and the freedom to be whoever you want. If you want to be a woman. For Day 368..
That's your freedom, too, but if you're doing that and trying to, like, change, who buys the company and dismiss all the other people?
Who buy the beer from the company? That's so dumb, that's like such a silly move.
It's so weird to me, I instantly always see mob hits.
Just walking in like, your company's done, what do you mean, fucking done?
Everyone's fucking out, put on the thing that's going to get rid of their crowd. You don't think you're fucked? You'll never kill us. Oh, really.
Oh, you mean, like, someone did it to try to kill Bud Light dude, they're fucked.
What a great hit.
That would be amazing if Heineken snuck in and did that to them.
Someone came in there.
Positioning the lady was a guy.
Like an agent provocateur, kill everybody. Yeah, you have an agent inside the company that tanks the company, and it turns out you're shorting them on the stock market.
And you open up a different company that's really manly.
I love that. Elon Musk Elon Musk and Bill Gates have a little dispute because Bill Gates shorts Tesla what he shorts it.
Meaning he banks on Tesla doing poorly.
And Elon and him have, like a billionaire feud because of this.
Bro, that's.
He's Petty, I love it, I'm not Petty, but I like what people are.
I do, I enjoy it, I enjoy when people are petty.
Like, what do two billionaires, what are they, what are they upping each other on?
I just think it's disrespectful for Bill Gates to short Tesla's position.
That's a gangster move. I'm not a fan of Bill Gates.
It's not a wise move because you're not that company is going to kill it. Wait till that goddamn cybertruck comes out, dude, let me tell you something.
That is the coolest vehicle I've ever seen in person in my life. The Cybertruck from Tesla. It's a stamped steel, electric, all off-road vehicle that's bulletproof. It could stop a 45 round.
It's you can raise and lower the height so you can off-road. On this fucking thing. It looks like it's a hundred years in the future. When you're standing next to it is absolutely the coolest looking car I've ever seen.
Like, you see it on in pictures, have you ever seen it in pictures? No, if you see it in pictures, it looks fucking badass, but if you see it in person, you realize how big this thing is.
And then you get it in it, it's fucking gorgeous, that's what it looks like.
That's when that thing comes out. You can't make enough of these fucking things, these goddamn things gonna be everywhere, everyone's gonna have a bulletproof car like Bill Gates is making a terrible choice.
That's what it looks like. Oh, you see it in real life, you just go, holy fucking shit.
What's the movie when they're? when they're? What's the famous movie?
Fucking thing. Look at the size, the windshield wiper, that's one giant windshield wiper that goes across the whole screen. It's like a tank, bro.
Without the big cannons.
And it goes zero to 60 in three seconds.
And it goes out in the is it like a four? it goes over rocks and all that stuff.
Oh yeah, it's flat because there's no drive train, there's no transmission in the center of the car, the entire car is flat on the bottom. So even if you have an off-road vehicle, you have axles.
And these axles, they protrude, they stick down, and so that like messes with your clearance. That's why the trucks are raised.
That's because you can get over more shit. What is this? Oh, video of it driving.
Yeah, I went to visit the Gigafactory and they had it at the Gigafactory and they had been off-roading in it. So it was all covered in mud and shit.
Dude, it's fucking amazing.
It drives itself.
Probably does everything right. What's this guy doing? Testing it? they're testing, yeah, it drives itself.
Bring me, bring me in my kid's house.
Today, I'm definitely going to be able to do that in the future.
I just sit in the back so I'm going to take a nap. Can you wake me up when we get there?
We're probably about 10 years away from that, but it's going to happen, it's going to be everywhere you can summon your car, like with Tesla, it's in a parking lot.
You can summon it to you.
It'll come to your app.
Is it doing that now?
Have you used it? No, I tried it once and it didn't work.
I watch people who do it on YouTube. I don't even use the honestly, I don't even use the auto drive when they gave us the new beta.
I fucked with it for a little bit, but I get uneasy. I don't want to not concentrate, I want my hands on the wheel, and I want to concentrate.
There's a guy who also a friend, and he does all electric car stuff around the world. I remember the first time he got me.
One of those Teslas, and he kept turning around and yes, it was steering. Don't do that, buddy.
I don't think I can do that.
I can't do it, I've kept it on automatic before and just fucked around and show people, look, it's driving itself.
I'm not that trusting of it. Also if people try to go in your lane.
So it'll like slam, whereas you maybe would just slow down a little and the person would slide into your lane. It's like, there's subtle understanding of, like, how fast this guy is going.
Whether this guy doesn't see me or whether they're being aggressive, there's different things you have to do. And you can avoid stuff without slamming on the fucking brakes.
And swerving into the oncoming lane.
My car does that once in a while, and I don't even have the automatic drive on or nothing like that.
It just jolts them. What kind of car is it?
Honda Insight.
We gotta get you out of that thing.
I know everyone tries to, I don't know if it's like a dorky thing. I always drive little shithead cars.
Do you like them?
I just like fucking, I like trucks.
What kind of trucks?
150.
Why don't you get yourself a raptor? a raptor?
Jim Brewer.
RapTOR You know about that? It's a high performance Ford F-150 off-road capable pickup truck that you can take around the street.
Will it ride like Elon's truck? Oh, yeah, it can do anything. Raptors are super capable, you can go baja fucking racing in one of those things, you can go off-roading in them.
Raptors from the factory, you can take that bitch off-roading. They have crazy capabilities, that's a good question. Show them what it looks like.
It's not going to be cheap. God damn it, you got that torn money, let's go, you gotta spend some of that.
I have all women in my house, two of them are gone.
So that's where it's getting spent.
Some is coming back out there, out one, the bank is shut.
Look at this thing, this is a raptor.
I'm Florida.
I don't think that's good. 90 feet is a little far the way that hit. I think he blew his fucking car apart.
Bro, I got a little, too.
You said this thing last night, it's very funny in your bit, right? But I found myself like, Dude, you talking about Florida bro.
You're like a proud Floridian now.
I forgot what it was.
You'll ruin the bit if I.
No, I'm not going to imagine Florida. I remember I was in the balcony, I'm laughing.
Tomorrow, I'm coming with a Texas thing.
I want to see how it's going.
It was really funny, though. I feel like I need a truck. I like the little bit of the I like the hillbilly thing going on.
If you want a truck that never breaks, get yourself a Toyota, get yourself one of those Tacomas. They make great little trucks. If you want a little truck, if you want a bigger truck, get yourself a Tundra. Those fucking things never break, man.
There's something about Toyota's build quality. I know so many people that have tacomas, they never have a problem with those things, never, they just drive.
They just go.
Everyone says Toyota is the.
If you want a car or vehicle that's going to last a long time, do the Toyota. It took a while with my dad, he wouldn't do it. Finally, I think his last car is a Toyota Camry.
So much of our cars are built overseas parks and stuff. The reality is they build Honda NSX's in Ohio, wasn't it in Ohio?
It was, yeah.
That's a Japanese car being made in America, there's a world market when it comes to cars. if you wanted to have a car that's a really American made car. Tesla is about as close as you get, and even Tesla, of course. The batteries don't come from America, the minerals don't come from America.
You want to get an American car, get an old car that's a real American car, get a 1969 Camaro.
One of them stick shifts or something.
Just driving down the Tallahassee Highway, Yes.
I never was a car guy, man.
I know that's sad, I know.
Matter of fact, it's really sad. My first one was a 1973 Chevy Nova.
That's the last year of the NSX. They're canceling it.
That's your thing.
Oh, it's a beautiful car. I've never had one. I had the old one. I had an NSX from 2005 and I had one from like, 1996. I had two different ones in the past.
One with the pop-up headlights and one with the fixed headlights.
They were all aluminum, they were basically Japan's response to a Ferrari. That's what the NSX was.
When you were doing stand-up, what was your car when you first started?
I started out I had just shit boxes. I had a Honda Accord. I had a lot of terrible cars until I got some money, but that car was a fucking marvelous little car. They're worth a lot of money now because people are realizing how fun they are to drive.
It's like a little Go-kart mid-engine, it's not that fast, but it's really exciting to drive, very fun to drive.
The cars where I live in Naples, Oh my God, I didn't realize how poor I was until I moved to Naples. Oh, really.
Oh yeah, that's like all billionaires and shit Rolls Royces.
There's at least three bentleys just in my neighborhood. Do you know how crazy that sounds?
Yeah, that's crazy.
You ever been in one of those?
Yeah.
They're fucking worth it.
Sometimes you can't get enough of the time zone.
You sit in a Rolls Royce, you go, Okay, I know why you spent all this money. You look up the ceiling is just like this with the stars. That is wild, dude. But there's something about that level of balling that's uncomfortable for me, is it?
Yeah, I don't ball like that, that's too hard, you're balling too hard.
So am I going too soft?
Muscle cars, you're balling, but muscle cars are like.
That's a car that pretty much anybody who saves up money can get a version of a muscle car.
Yeah.
It's like, you're not going to get a version of a new Ferrari convertible, right? you're not going to get a version. But if you buy a 69 camaro and you spend a ton of money on it and have it coming out. Looking cherry with amazing paint and wheels. But another kid also has a 69 camaro in his garage. That's an accessible car. His shit could have bondo on it, it could have fucking old wheels and tires, but he's fixing things.
That's a baller car, that's like an accessible car.
Damn.
I'm not going to be fucking baller. I don't know if I can ever be a baller if I had to ball it. You know what I really want, you know what I got into.
Look at that.
The Hummers.
Damn, look at that thing that doesn't get your dick out.
No.
What, what's wrong with you? I want something like a hummer, go back to that convertible, that convertible excites me.
Does it?
Yeah, I had a Shelby GT500 convertible.
I don't even know what that is, I fucking loved it.
I loved it, it was like a 2011 I think I had, or 12 I had a Shelby GT500 convertible.
Like anytime you want it, when you're making a turn, you stomp on the gas, the ass end kicks out. I was like, this car is so ridiculous, it was so fun.
I loved it.
I loved it. It wasn't like the fastest 0-60, didn't handle the best. It was just so much fun. The roar of the engine, I think it was like, 500. Yeah, that's what I had. No, I had the model right before that.
It was a 2011, I think I had. I loved it. yeah, it looked like that. fucking loved it. it was so much fun.
It wasn't the best built car, but it wasn't that expensive either.
There's something about it. It's like you're in a thrill ride, you're not driving. Every time you're heading on the gas, the top is down, so you hear everything, you hear the brrrrr.
You're stomping on the gas.
Oh, it was so much fun.
It was great.
It was so much fun.
Yeah.
We're an American band, I like playing that.
We're coming to your town, we'll help your body down. We're an American band. You're fucking on the highway, Jim, bro.
I'm next to you in the Honda insight blasting fucking Mitaka, there it is.
No remorse.
Come on, man, I want you to picture yourself Jim Brewer, I want a hummer, I want you. In a red convertible, buy a 2012..
You can still get them, people have them, and they're low mileage.
This is you on the highway.
Come on, son, the music is blaring, the wind's got your hair flowing.
Woo.
I need.
Now he's trying to sell you on a new Corvette. Those are great, too, but I liked you as more of, like a 2012 Shelby GT500 stick shift.
I like the tank thing.
A tank?
Oh, like an Elon tank.
Yeah, I was a hummer guy, I wanted a hummer. I know it was corny, but I loved it.
That car right there, that's you.
Red white stripes.
Flaps, flaps, fuck yeah, flaps.
Give the man some flaps, but that red one, the red convertible. click on that red convertible, that's the shit right there, bro.
That's, you see now there.
Listen.
You're at a red light and you just hear it and it just goes, Come on, daddy.
Let's go, let's go, daddy.
I was in that for a very short period.
I love that car, I'm going to go buy one as soon as this show's over. I miss mine.
I'm going to be you when I grow up.
That's one of the most fun cars I've ever owned.
See now that.
I like being higher, I like being higher.
I get it well, you should see my truck, I have a TRX from Hennessy, it has a thousand horsepower.
Oh, damn.
It's the most preposterous truck ever, you would love it. You're way above everything. The good thing about that is you see trouble ahead. If you're in a little car, like a low car, the problem is sometimes shit's happening ahead of you and you don't know why everybody's going to hit the brakes.
So you don't see it until a second or two after someone who's higher up gets a view of it, that's it. Look at that motherfucker.
That's why the little cars freak me out.
Yeah, I love driving that thing, it's like driving a tank.
But you know what's one of those post Malone has one like that, with the double rear wheels, just to carry around his money.
He just stacks gold in the back of it like a leprechaun and drives around. He's awesome.
Was he on here?
Yeah, he's awesome, I love that dude, he's a very fun dude. We did mushrooms, we did the whole podcast on mushrooms.
Did he really?
He loves music, he loves playing music and learning guitar.
Amazing guy, super, super talented, creative individual, very unusual person and really fun. He's really fun to talk to.
A raptor is a little less crazy, but it's still very big and it's like super capable, and it's comfortable because they have a lot of travel.
Like on the Shox, because you off-road in them, it makes driving on the road very comfortable.
Joe, I'm at the point in life where I'm at.
I can literally live in the middle of nowhere, I think, and just disappear from sight, maybe for a year or two, I don't know.
But that's where I feel like I'm at at times. So I just need a truck, I don't need a fast car, and maybe a truck.
That's why you want a raptor.
You don't ever get those feelings yet.
What the want to go away from everybody's feelings?
Well, you know what we were talking about before, we were talking about hunter-gatherer people. I go hunting every year. To me, it's a big reset.
When I go to Utah, when I'm there for a week, it's a big reset. And it's also, man, you're in the real wild when we were there.
I guess it was two years ago that I saw that cat, was it? two years? It wasn't this year, it was the year before that, right?
I saw a giant cat.
It was so big, dude, it was under a tree. My friend Colton spotted it. We were driving, he was driving.
And he said, Look at that fucking lion, and I look, and I just see these glowing eyes that are underneath this tree and the headlights. It was just getting dusk out.
And the headlights were catching his eyes, and his eyes were glowing. Bro, it was huge. He had this big, old, fucking pumpkin head and these giant forearms.
And he's sitting there. And this was a full-grown Tom Mountain lion. It was a real big male, like a 180 190 pound cat, it was that big.
It was so crazy. I'd seen them before, but the ones I'd seen before were like little ones I saw. Like a 60 pounder, maybe, or a 70 pounder.
Running across the street in Montecito in Santa Barbara, I was just driving and I saw this thing run across the street and then I saw his tail.
I was like, Oh shit, that's a mountain lion.
So what do you do when you see this thing staring at you?
We were in a truck, luckily, we were in a truck.
