Alright, welcome to Jason Ellis 2.0, where I already retired a week ago, and I said, you know, I've done with this for a while I don't, it's custom me money and we've got, we've got stuff we need to handle, so I don't go to prison I think I do well there, but also, risky, you know, I mean what if I don't do well and as some of you know, I'm not gay anymore So I'm not gonna be your but meal, you know, I mean we're fighting and, you know, I'll probably wreck enough people, they will kill me, you know It's gonna take a couple, and by the time they get a hold of me, they're gonna be, you know, that's the thing, it's a problem I'm gonna cause a problem and make you real mad when you wake back up and you probably wanna kill me I was like, I'll destroy a lot of you, before I die, I was born that way, so anyway, I retired, and then this dickhead hit me up That's a good guy, I met him in Texas, he's a very nice person, and he didn't know me from shit, and took me around, got me my first good cowboy hat Oh yeah, and then I was hanging out with Uncle Lazer, and he was like, you got the wrong hat on for the season, and I'm like, what? And he's like, it's winter, man, he looked like an asshole, and I'm like, dude, I'm from Australia, I'm a skateboarder Who just got into horses like a year ago, I know I'm a cook, I'm a cook, and not in denial, like I know, you know I got a pink car, I'm a dickhead, at least I'm not ducking it, but he informed me that I had the wrong hat, so then I had to go get another hat So I have a winter hat, and I have a summer hat, but Street Gunzo is here, and he has a documentary Do you want to call you, do you want to go? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so he got a documentary, he does stuff, you know And I'm like, oh I knew at first was I shot a microwave, and the police arrested me, and I was like, wow, this guy's a thrill-sicker, you know And he was like, I'm gonna get your custom hat, oh the guy that makes a hat is in prison, and I was like, okay, so we're hanging out with the right guys And then, you know, every now and then he's got some stuff where I'm like, oh you're really trying, I know you had a thing about the fires Yeah, really trying to do real journalism, yeah, but I'm not gonna lie, I didn't expect it from you, I was like, chef right, you're doing real journalism, you're off your face But he is, and then I watched this documentary, and it's shocking, to say the least, and if you have any, you know, if you have a heart at all, and you value other people's lives beside your own You will be shocked, and it's pretty sad, and shocking, and I was like, look I don't do this show anymore, but I'll do it for him, because if one person sees this and goes, whoa, so it's not really about the podcast, the podcast is so that you go see the documentary that he did on YouTube, and that is what's called Well the documentary is on the street guns of YouTube, and the title of it is exposing the shadow government controlling Puerto Rico, but the actual title of the documentary itself is, we just went with power pirates, it was nice and simple But it's not good for SEO, you know, so we, what's SEO, search engine optimization, so we're trying to get a more clickable title, and I'll change it again probably, but that tits party, yeah tits party drugs, that's a little bit like that, they'll do drugs, they'll do drugs, they'll do it, oh yeah, yeah, what about sports enhancing, no, don't worry about it, Super Bowl, bad money, 50 cent, he did it, he did it, he words all in a row, man, I was gonna watch that the other day, my chick has already watched it, so in respects to her, I was like I don't wanna watch it, but I see clips every now and then on social media, and I'm like, man, that guy, like, a long time ago, I was told that I was gonna be on the first time I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I just over, I used to go to this Russian spa, fight friends got me into it, they had like crazy sorta, like, you can't breathe, you know, so as soon as you get in there, like, real hot, and they had a proper cold plunge, because a lot of cold plunges that you go to that are public, they're not that cold, and I was in the MMA community where it was like, 38, then I'm like 38, like, isn't that actually freezing, like, how is it water, I don't understand, isn't it just a block? And they're like, good, you're 10 minutes, you're trying to kill me?

Like, if you do 10 minutes from mental time, like, do I need to be, I'm not in the UFC, you are, like, I don't need to do, you're killing me dude, but they recommended this place, the Votus spa, it's top of the line, like, it's all Russian, it's like, no phones, no, you know, it's proper, it's no bullshit in it, you know, and I used to regulate, regulate, I used to go there regularly, well, anyway, I'm in there in the morning, because I would get real high, and then I'd go to the spa and sweat it out enough to do my radio show when I was successful, and doing a job that actually made me money, and I would go there by myself, baked, you know, I mean, just baked as a absolute bastard, and I'd sit in the sauna and burn my nose hairs, and then go in the cold plunge, I'm like, all right, let's do a show, so I'm in there, and I'm doing the circuit, I go in, I go in the cold plunge, I go in the cold plunge, and then I thaw out in Jacuzzi for a little bit, so I'm in the Jacuzzi, thawing out, and there's this guy with a Bluetooth in his ear, and I'm looking over and I'm like, this big sign says, don't use the phones, I'm like, what kind of a douche does that, and I'm like, he's a black guy, he doesn't answer to certain rules, I just certainly was like, yeah man, he's like, fuck you guys, I do whatever I want, I'm like, I'm like, I'm out of here, and then I go, man, that guy looks like Diddy, and then he walks by, and he gives me the eye, and I've, you know, I've done some gay stuff, people don't like to hear it, and guess what, you never get out of it, even when you get out of it, except the only person who got out of it is Milo, who is gay, you're gay, just because you're not practicing it anymore, you're gay, there's a difference, I am a sex addict, and dudes suck it easier, I regret it, I've never thought that dudes were hot, way rather a chick suck it, but you'd have to talk to them for too long to get them sucked, I mean trying to get sucked off as many times as I was in one day, dudes very convenient, but now that I'm not like that, he's like, I'm gonna sell it, I've been selling it for five years, I'm like, just bone a chick, no, you know why? Because you're gay, and that's okay dude. What if that's just sex addiction and not being gay, if you're just trying to get off and it doesn't matter the vessel at that point? That's me, that's what I'm saying.

That's what I want, is that even gay though? Well that dude I'm writing a joke about it, I'm writing a lot of jokes about it, because it's an angle that I have that not a lot of people are doing, and I'm like, yeah, and I see why you don't do that, because a lot of people don't like it, but like jail gay, is, you know, because the jail guys are like, well there's no chicks in here, so like I'm banging dudes, it's not gay, and I'm like, well I see your argument, but no pun intended, you are banging a guy, that's gay, but it's the least gay thing a gay guy can do, is sorry, can I use that R word? I mean, I think I have, if you are a guy, man I know I'm on TikTok, if you are a guy, it's the least gay way to do it, you seem to try to say, so manly, if you beat up a guy and then you bone him, and he doesn't want you to, it's pretty manly, I'm not saying it's good, I'm not approving it, I'm just saying, that's his least gay, a gay act, because look, here's the other angle, he's either the least gay or the most gay, that's, I like the argument, because it might beat the gay thing, yeah, because that's the only thing I don't want to do it, it looks like you do to me, I mean you got pretty energized to get it going, it's not an easy, it didn't just fall on your penis, you know, you're like, you're really putting it into worship, yeah, like that, as you say hard while you were beating him up, that's pretty gay, I beat up people before I was never hard, that's like a thing, I remember, if anybody was, if there's a group of people that were going to beat me up, I'm like if I take up my clothes open, I get hard, at least four or five guys will run away, so I'll only have like a couple dudes to deal with, that was my plan, but it's impossible to stay hard and fight, it's like two different mindsets, you know what I mean, well not for everybody apparently, because he's gay, but like if you make up with a chick and you close your eyes, if I take that girl away, do you know what you look like, you look gay, because you're all, it's gay dude, you have a gay face, but if you're beating a guy up and you're, and you're from Purnium, it's not gay, so you saw Diddy and the Soulner, and he, thank God, dude, how like what am I doing, this is why the show makes zero, I love, I don't get why the show isn't so popular, Joe Rogan really, like dude, you know what I said that, I mean space, you know what I mean, republicans, no dude, I'm talking real, it's the streets dude, jail butt fuck yeah, nobody's doing that, I don't get it, algorithm, no I get your point though, but yeah Diddy hit on me in the spot, gave me the eye, oh, and I told everybody on the show that day, I go, guess who tried to hit on me today in the sauna, nobody believed me, and this is years ago, and then when all this stuff came out, it was almost like, because I didn't do it, because I look over and he gives me the eye and I look away and go dude, did he, is that Diddy doing that, and I'm like I'm Diddy, I don't want to be a part of that joke, that's so old, but I didn't, oh man, I'm so screwed with the Diddy now, I've done it, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do Diddy because I'm like Diddy and it's weird, and also it's too, you, I said, dude I'm assuming he's like kind of bone thug, I'm not, I'm not a girl, I'm not the girl in the house, he was bone thug, he was trying to bone thug me, I'm the guy, I'm not doing the girl for you, you know what I mean, he seemed like a guy that'd be like, you're the girl, I'm like, she didn't know, you know what I mean, I'm more of the jail kind of gay, you know, so I'll beat you up and then do you, I wouldn't, but that's how I'd prefer it, you're not beating me up and doing me, that's not gonna happen, so yeah, I was like, whoa, no way, then I told everybody, and that kind of part of me was like, I swear that's what happened, and people were like, yeah right, you're crazy, and I was almost like, yeah, I think I am crazy, like I probably didn't see what I thought I saw, and then all this stuff comes out and I'm like, oh I totally, he totally was trying to- So exactly what you thought you saw? Well that's vindicating.

I tried it over a hoo, but yeah, 50 cent, put me in your documentary show. Yeah, damn it. But I'm living on the edge of these days, because I've got you on and you, you know, I see the documentary where, you know, they're like, you know, the government finds out you're doing this stuff, you know, like people can tell me that, it's making me a little paranoid, which is great to have you here on this show that cost me money, I paid money for me to potentially be murdered, so that's cool. And then also, do you know who Tim Poole is?

Yeah, so Tim Poole sponsors me for skateboarding, boonies, I'm sponsored by him. Okay. I don't really, I skate at his skate park, I was on his podcast, people are using homophobe, but he's a racist, and I go, I'm like, why would he have me on? Because I'm super not racist or homophobic, and I go, since I get there, I go, hey man, we got to talk real quick before we do anything here, and he's like, yeah, what is it?

I'm like, people will tell me this, and he's like, well, I'm not, and I was like, so gay people could get married. He's like, yeah, and I'm like, you- or okay, but the blacks, he's like, what the hell, dude, he's gonna be like, I'm crazy, and I'm like, I'm Mexican, so how do you really feel? And he's like, dude, what do you- I'm- I'm park Korean. I was like, ooh, that's a good argument, I like where you go, that doesn't make it hard for you to be racist, but you still could be.

And then I was like, what about some other- I forgot, I gave him a run, and he's like, dude, I'm not, I'm not, I'm happy, like, let him all live, great. People say this stuff about me, but anyway, he got shut out recently at his place, and I was supposed to go there to judge a skateboard contest, and they canceled it because he was worried about the safety of skateboarders. Do they know who did that? Yeah, he's- no, but he showed me video.

That's crazy. That's another thing. People- can't- someone said that he made it up. Well, then he might have hired people to shoot at his house on video, because I saw the video, so I feel like- and talking to his wife, he got shut out, dude, he freaked out.

Like, he's legitimately freaked out. Like, he's thinking about moving, he is moving. And I'm like, I don't think he made that up, so that he could- I mean, political violence is obviously getting worse in this country. It's a weird- like, I don't think- I don't think that's an unbelievable thing.

It's a- well, no, because if you just say things on the internet, people can go, no, that's actually not- like, no, you're not chasing Alice. The other day someone on Twitter was like, that's not street skating when I said that I was street skating, and I was like, wait, it is. And it's like, no, it's not your idiot. And I'm like, I had the double take- I'm like, wait, who am I?

If I've been skateboarding my whole life, I'm a vert skater. When I skate the streets, it's called street skating, and friends with the best street skaters in the world, and they call that street skating. Yeah, there's kind of a- no, Alice, you're an idiot. I'm like, I think I'm pretty sure you're wrong, but because it's on Twitter, you can- there was a huge group of people that were like, Jason Alice is the dumbest guy.

Well, it's a separation of reality because of the internet, and I think probably specifically social media. Yes, people feel like they can just say whatever the fuck they want. I mean, they do. They can.

Yeah. So it's an experience, but- Well, without repercussions, I mean, people feel like they can just- Well, that's the other thing, when you're me, there is- there's no- I mean, I can't do anything, because I'm like, I have children, I don't want to go to jail. Right. And I have like, my brain works pretty well, so it's like, if you talk shit to me, I'm not going to beat you up.

You know? Like, you know, I'm not going to get an assault charge. I'm a 54-year-old man. Like, what are you in for?

No one's saying that to me. You know what? I'm not in. You know why?

Because I'm like, I'm going home. Stable. Yeah. I mean, nobody's worth it.

The only time it's worth it is if you're- For your kids. If you're doing something with my kids or you're doing something to a woman, well, then yeah, I'm in a rec shop for sure. You know, if you're in some sort of group on one guy, I'll jump in. You know, things like that.

Save somebody's lifetime situation. Yeah, but that's usually- that's probably never going to happen. So if it's someone like, hey, man, you're this. I'm like, mate, we might be right.

I don't know. But even if it's not true, we can't get into this. You know, it happened in the skate park the other day. Some guy was in the bowl.

Two kids were in the bowl. They were adults. And I was like, you guys got to get out so other people can get in this thing. And he was like, you don't have to talk to me like that.

And I was like, what? I'm like, dude, I'm just telling you to get out of the bowl. Like there's rules in this game. I mean, like, you go and then you get out and then I go and then I get out.

That's kind of how it goes. And he's like, you're too old to be here, man. And I was like, that is hilarious. I was like, first of all, fuck you.

He said that. Oh, yeah. He's like, he's like, he's like, how old are you? Dude, you're too old to be here.

And I was like, it burned because I am old. You know, I was like, Oh, that's a singer. That's a good point. Some may say that.

I have said that to myself several times when I get hurt. But I was like, fuck yourself. They didn't even say, Oh, yeah. And I was like, yeah.

And then he got out of the bowl. And there was like a little thing there for a second. And I was like, you can't do it. I can't.

And I was like, if maybe because it was two of them. And I was like, if you jump me, then I can, but I can't be the first guy. The instigator. Yeah.

And I think that that's because there's too much just in general, there's too much litigation and legalities and lawsuits in America. And I can't, I can't imagine being in the parking lot, speaking to the authorities. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm a grown guy.

I rocked him with the name. But it's like to grow. Yeah. So yeah.

Well, I mean, I mean, what are you supposed to do in a situation like that? Well, what if they're what if they were just being assholes and kept doing that, you know, like they weren't letting anybody else? Well, I still I just kept skating. And I said, I was like, like, you don't know how to skate.

You don't know the rules. I'm just trying to help you, dude. Like if you want to be a dick, we could sort it out right now. I'm ready to go.

And he was like, Oh, yeah. And I was like, yeah, for sure. Dude, how old were you when you moved to America? 17 interesting.

How much has it changed in your opinion? Wow. That's interesting. Because you're talking to a guy that's been high his whole life.

And it was like, what is really happening in the world, Jason? It's 17. I'd be like, Tony Hawks here. And it's pretty awesome.

You can get a Toledo. It's just thing it talk about. It's like four bucks. It's awesome.

Now I'd be like, Oh my God, dude. I will never eat that. I'll die. Right.

And you know, chicks like me because of my accent. The rules, the rules, you can have wheels that go past the car, they can stick out. You can have guns. Black guys are cool.

They sound funny. Like I remember the first black guy, like a proper black guy, another fake Australian black guy, like a real one here. And I was like, I can't understand what he's saying. A foundational black American sounds cool, man.

And then the music. And I was like, he's playing Metallica. He goes to have Metallica and stuff. And I was like, this place kicks ass.

And this is my opinion of America was California. So I didn't even know that there was an East Coast or that there was like a Central or I was just like, in America, all the chicks are hot and they have blonde hair and they're all on the beach. Because I went to, uh, it just sounds like Venice. Yeah, that's what I was there.

And now I was saying Diego Beach. I forgot what mission. Mission. Yes.

Yes. They called me FF. The boardwalk called me FF, which was fucking foreigner. And I boned everybody like all the girls love the FF.

So I was like, America is the place where me a girl named Sonny gave me my first mushrooms trip down. She gave me crystal necklace. I was like, this is the greatest place on earth. And I've been here ever since.

But I think I was okay with all of it until politics became because I've always just been, I'm a skateboarder. I'm a party guy. I like boobs and fire and stuff. And when Donald Trump became the president or was running, I can't remember how it went.

But I remember it was one of the one of the times I was trying to be sober and I failed because I didn't do any of the steps I was just going to meetings. But the meetings I was going to was Hollywood elite. I was in a meeting where it was all the most famous actors in the world. And I was like, holy shit, that's so and so and so.

And they were all lived out. So when Trump won, it was the first time I ever everyone's like, Oh, no. And I'm like, what? And I'm like, you didn't hear?

And I'm like, I don't know. What did I hear? And they're like, how could you not understand what we're talking about right now? They were in shock that I didn't know completely detached from the rest of society.

And I got to tell you, I was pretty happy. Like I was pretty happy. And then when they pulled me into it, I was like, what's he going to do? He's got to ruin this.

And I was like, Oh, no. I believed it because they were all my friends. And I'm like, yeah, I remember was, I'll say, that's a good guy trying to get me sober. He was like, how could you not care?

And I said something, looking back, there was spot on. I was like, well, if it's one guy or the other guy, doesn't really matter, like they don't care about us. And now years later, I'm like, well, yeah, that's I still back that nailed it. Like I don't think that if one is in or the other one's in, I think the only difference is let's face it, they want the money and they'll take it from you until there's none of you left.

That's what's and you will be their slaves. That's the end. That's what I believe. You will work for a lesson less and you will never be able to afford stuff.

And the ones that are lucky will post it on social media and make you feel bad about the things you don't have because it's not really important. As a guy that's had a million dollars and now it's completely broke, it doesn't, it didn't make me happy. I've had money and I had everybody wanted to sleep with me and people had tattoos on my face on them. I think they still do their name babies after me.

I wasn't happy. I'm happy now with nothing. I mean, I don't have nothing, but I don't have any of the stuff that I thought would make me happy. So I think we watched social media and we go, oh, even the comedy thing, I'm struggling dude.

Like I'm a national headliner and I can't get, the only gig I got that's regular in LA is at a hostel, which means 65% of the crowd don't speak English. That's pretty tough. It's pretty tough to get a read on whether you're jokes good or not. Yeah, but comedy's in a weird place because it's super oversaturated.

It's also political now. Yeah. Hey, you know what you said about, about they take and they take and they turn you into their slaves and if you're lucky, you can get enough to post it on social media. That's basically what's going on in Puerto Rico.

I'm glad you've tied that back. What triggered you to do this documentary? What did you hear that made you go there in the first place? So of all people, I saw a tweet from Laura Loomer, conservative political commentator and journalist.

She's the white stripe of hair? She's the one with the plastic surgery. Maybe she's got some plastic surgery. She can charge ice.

No, no, no, no. No, no, she's not in the government. She's just in, it's this chick right here. She had a tweet about, I think the specific one was about this guy, this lawyer, David Brownstein, was getting, he was on retainer for $850,000 per month, which equals out to $28,000 per day.

So more or less, the typical Puerto Rican family income per year is $25,000. So he was getting paid more than what a Puerto Rican family gets paid in a year in one day to help negotiate bankrupt seat proceedings because the whole island's bankrupt. So what you just said was exactly what I thought when I saw that. I was like, why the fuck would somebody be getting paid this much money?

And it kind of brought me down a rabbit hole. And I was like, what's going on in Puerto Rico? And then I realized, Puerto Rico is part of America. And I kind of forgot that, I guess.

And then we do that. And then I was like, okay, Hurricane Maria obliterated their power grid. It's been eight years. People are saying the power grid is still having a lot of problems.

Living conditions haven't necessarily gotten better. The island's power company's still bankrupt. And I was like, this is insane. And they're paying people almost a million dollars a month to do what now?

And it hasn't gotten fixed. So we went down there to more or less investigate the power grid and also see what the living conditions were like. And it was fucked up, dude. And then it was exactly what you just said.

I saw the thing in the documentary where the lady in the taxi said that it was like this before the hurricane. That's yeah, that's what was kind of mind blowing was that we found out the power grid has been it's antiquated. And it's been dilapidated before Maria, they've had the power problems since like the eighties. They've been having blackouts and power surges since the fucking eighties since before I was even born.

And there's like a crazy they all used to generate it. So they line up a gas stations and you have to have make a lot of money just to have guests to power your house because people can't they don't have power. And they're born into it. Yeah, the some people when we're talking about was like what's the cost of rent here?

And he's like, you know, 800 to 1200 bucks a month. And I said, how much does running a generator all the time cost for power? He's like, you know, $300 a week. That's more than the rent.

It's but it's like, and the thing you were saying about people not gas stations, dude. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It's when you're getting a nice car and living in that.

And there's no way these people can basically save any money to build anything for themselves. There's which means there's essentially zero opportunity for anybody that's middle class or down to working class or even just living in poverty. I mean, more than half the kids living poverty down there, more than half in an American. The school's bad, right?

Because there's no power in schools. Well, that's I think that the schools down there are there's probably more reasons than just the power. But part of the issue with the education system is definitely that the power's going on and off all the time. And a lot of the schools are starting to use cisterns for their water.

It's like a rainwater harvesting system because the public water is connected to the power and that's fucked. It's fucked everything, dude. It's really bad. And I was genuinely kind of of shocked by all this because we were only there for a week.

And I learned all of this in a period of one week. Granted, we probably did about like a month's worth of work in that week. We didn't really sleep. We just kept going and going.

But the fact that I figured out all that shit just in seven days, I imagine that if I when I came back, I did a lot more research. But imagine if I just kind of wandered around that island for like, you know, four or five months, I probably find some even more fucked up shit for sure. You know what I mean? Is it a beautiful island?

Yeah, I mean, the like, fixed it would it be a place where tourism would be a big thing? Tourism is a big thing. People go there. Yeah.

I don't know. Only certain parts though, like in San Juan. Is this the power work in those certain parts? Well, what do you think?

Let me ask you a question, you know, it does doesn't it does work in those parts, too. That imagine that. That's that one just made I just got like a note that one makes me really mad. Well, so check this out because they know they know they can fix it and they probably should have by now and part of the reason that the economy there is based on tourism is because of this joint US Puerto Rican economic initiative back in the 50s and 60s called Operation Bootstrap where they were they purposefully changed the economy, the structure of the economy from being based on agriculture and farming to manufacturing and tourism.

And they did this because they I mean, there's a litany of reasons, but more or less, they the results of it were less economic opportunity at declining birth rate reliance on federal funding and tax incentives and a massive out migration to places like New York and Florida. That's why you see a lot of Puerto Ricans in those two areas. And that was this thing called Operation Bootstrap basically explains most of the predicament that Puerto Rico is in today. There's a lot of other stuff like the Jones Act and some other there's so much shit that goes into it and a lot of corruption, but I think we cover that in the doc extensively in terms of showing what the you know, the real life consequence that we show you firsthand what these people are doing with and it's all because of that Operation Bootstrap shit.

And there was also some sterilization program. So it's gonna ask you that that one was it's crazy, right? So they're trying to stop women from back in the day they were they I think Puerto Rico was one of the ones that I think it's a testing ground. I think it's a testing ground.

I think they test it out before they tested on us. So you think they're gonna do that to us the what sterilization? Well, not to that degree because since Puerto Rico is not a state and it's a territory, they can kind of treat Puerto Ricans like second class Americans and get away with it. So I don't know if they could get away with something like that here, but I think what they did was they tested out birth control on all these Puerto Rican women and some of them died and there was no investigations and they were given them 10 times as much of the pill that we know now that they should have been and by the early 80s, like a third of the island was totally sterilized and I think that it was a test to see what they get away with in terms of the birth control pill and then they did start using that here.

The sterilization stuff, I don't know if that if that was as connected but they definitely test shit out down there for sure. I just don't know why you'd want to like they need babies here. That's what I'm saying but the conspiracy there is that they want to basically import labor through immigrants because they're cheaper. Oh, not from America, from other third world countries, they're struggling harder.

And they don't have to pay them as much because they know that since they're from a place of struggle, they'll take a little bit more as opposed to what people in America think they're famous for. The places that struggle the most bring crime, right? Well, I would our government give a shit if they crime because crime only affects poor areas, it doesn't affect rich people as much. They don't give a fuck about it.

I mean, what about the shooting in Australia the other day? You know, like those people that were shooting those guns, they're not they were anti-Semites. Yeah, but did they did it? You to shoot guns at people on the beach.

Also, look at my my ex wife is converted to Judaism. Her husband's a great guy who is 100% Jewish and my kids are basically half Jewish at this point. So I'm a full like I'm I'm a supporter through blood as far as I'm concerned. But it's was in Australia, you did shoot Australians too, like to seem like when I get they're not getting to mention it was on Bondi Beach.

Don't tell me that Bondi Beach is 100% Jewish. Like there were just people and yeah, what's there was there reasoning on it? Because there was people that got shot there were just like at the beach and being humans at the beach. It's more the to shoot guns at people.

You came from a tough place. You know, you could be mentally just have a mental disorder and be okay with gun and people. It's usually like a place where your life was so bad that when you get here, if something bumps you out, you're okay with gun and people down because that's what you will raise to do. Well, that came from an environment where gun people down is not that big of a deal.

What about all the white kids that do it here? It's the same violence that's just here from usually like kids that are like, what do you look at all the mass shooters like all of them are just shooting age boys. People that shoot people here don't have anything. Well, they're also all on SSRIs and what's that?

Like antidepressants and pharmaceutical drugs. Well, that goes back to the mental thing. Yeah. So I'm saying not yes, there's mental and then there's I came from nothing.

Look dude, if I got nothing my family's got nothing and they tell me you never guaranteed amount to nothing. It's not so hard for me to shoot you. You know what am I going to do to me? How did I thought I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought Australia had really strict gun laws.

Yeah, they do. That's a weird thing. Well, because it's gun laws on assault rifles. You can't have a handgun.

Well, we're using shock rifles. We're using shock guns. Well, they were using I saw a bolt action rifle. Yeah, okay, but that's for hunting.

I know, but what I'm saying, you can't have a handgun and you can't have a semi-automatic or fully on that. That goes to show that the assault rifle ban is idiotic in the first place. Well, because if that's an AI, close eyes had an AI that would kill way more people. You think so?

For sure. I don't know about that. Unless a really bad shot, but like how many more bullets come out at a time, dude? Well, of an AR?

Yeah. It's just it would be if you're using one that's semi-automatic, it'd be a lot more. Yeah, but I don't know. That's what I'm talking about.

But when when there's shootings here, there's sometimes only a handful of people killed. Like I don't know if the volume really does relate to the... I think it's a lot of the bullets. It's definitely hard.

I was there. I was a boy. That was when the shooting happened at the school and they said if you bring in your certain guns because my father had them. We had a semi-automatic 22 to 22, but it had a 16 shot magazine.

Yeah, they'll still kill somebody. Yeah, but it's but it's but it's but it's fast and you squeeze it as fast as bullets come out. But I always thought shotgun, I mean shotgun wrecks, you know, like as a spray, I mean, sure, you got to reload it, but five pump action. Those were still legal in Australia because it's like for pig hunting or something like that, I can't remember what it was for.

But my father had one that he saw off the handle and the nozzle for me because I was too little to hold the gun up. That's what he told me anyway. That's bad ass. Yeah, but we had to give, I remember being really bummed out because he was like, we've got to give you a gun back, Jay.

And I was like, that's me. That's me. That's me. That's me.

Gun mate. That's me. He told him it. Dad.

He got like, well, if they catch you with it, your dad's going to prison. I was like, all right. I don't want that to go to prison. And then I mean, I'm totally against gun laws, like 100%.

So I mean, I have a little bit of a bias here, but it clear to me, it seems obvious that they keep banning guns and they're still shootings. Yeah, you got that. There's nobody with a gun to shoot. But that hasn't been a their scale of shooting is you don't want to do this with me.

Australia has one shooting. There's their mass shooting in like 40 years. Yeah. No, it's been one since they banned the ban rule.

That one right now. There hasn't been a mass shooting. Right. So they got 30 years without a shooting.

And then they had one the other day in Bonda. So it did. So it's just it dramatically, like it's now the way citizens basically have no. That's what I think it's different now because I think that there's so many people there from other countries that are okay with shooting people.

I mean, it wasn't unless scared of the law. I think when I was a kid, when the law was like, we're put you in prison. My dad and his friends were pretty heavy dudes. Some of them had been to jail.

And they were, they were like, Oh shit. Okay, tell it like a couple of the guns. They were like, I'm not giving that one up. And they hit it.

Yeah. So they pull it out of every now and then at a party. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then everyone put it back somewhere.

And the people that they pulled it out in front of were good friends. Yeah, because you can't get anybody telling anybody because you would be ruined by it. Yeah, because it's scared of the government. Yeah, yeah, which is fucked up.

I should be like, I agree. I actually agree. I've changed my mind. I think that, like, what were they wasn't covered in fucking out of control down there too?

Yeah, my brother called me and said the only the law they had was my brother's electrician. And he said he could drive, if he was driving to do the job, he had to have like some sort of past to do it. And that's correct. Oh, dude, they told me once my brother called me once and goes, one of our friends has a mini ramp inside a shed.

And we have all secretly gone there to skate. What? And it was like, they were you can't even go skateboard? Fuck.

No, what? And if he got caught driving back from it and didn't have proof that he was doing electrician, like working on a house completely. So this is what I imagine Nazi Germany was like, well, they didn't kill him if they hadn't got it. Yeah, they'd like away and it was still and it was still and it was the fear that they had like I could tell they were my friends were pissed, rightly so, but also not looking to be like, we should fight them all, but they weren't like, fuck them.

We're gonna go to war. Like if they catch us, they can suck it. Like they never said that. They were like, fuck, this sucks.

I gotta go home. I can't leave my home. Yeah, it's like the government's basically mastered the art of taking a little bit from you at a time, but not enough so that you'll fight them. They're like, let's just take a little, let's take a little more and a little more and here's not kill anybody.

They're not gonna come after it. Here's my theory. That's why I don't believe in the sterilization theory, because I think that they need us until they figure out how to make robots run it. When robots run it and the rich people can get the robots to do the car work and fix this and clean the house or whatever the stuff that they don't want to do, pick the fruit, all that stuff.

They'll really get rid of us. Yeah, but right now they need it. So to me, if you really, and this is, I'm older, I've had some hard conditions. I've done a lot of wrong in my life.

I made my apologies. I made my amendses. I'll be like in the grand scheme of things. I mean, well, but I'm a shithead.

I mean, I have been my whole life. And if it comes down to it, because that's the chit-chat thoughts and prayers, suck a dick dude. If you want to do it, let's do it. And it's also like, wait, go to war with the government?

I'm like, yeah, you're gonna lose. I know. Like you don't think I'm aware. Like the I know the joke like there's a drone, dude.

We don't have drones. Like we'll all show up with all our guns and then someone goes, and we're gone. But if we all die, well, then there's nobody here. And now they're screwed.

So if you're gonna fight, it's now or never, because once those once Elon gets all those robots working and we go, we're not doing anymore for the money you're giving us. And you're not making that rent too much army of turbinators. And then we're like, great, see, we didn't need you anyway. But right now, if you did it, quit yapping, show up.

Let's go out on the street right now. Everybody stop banging and die. Die for the, the pretend look dude, we'll die. And then they're left, then eventually they will die.

And then the animals will come back. That's what the world wants. God wants a few of us and way more of the dears and the horses and the fish in the sea and all that stuff where it's greedy. And we're taking too much.

And we're making cars. I love cars. They'll get it wrong. I love car.

I love bone outs. I love smoke. Let's do it. But also shut up or fight.

You sound like a conflicted man. Oh, hell yeah. I feel the deer. And now I like, and now I'm like a Republican.

I mean, hell. I'm gonna hell. I'm moving to Utah, dude. I'm not even going to, I'm learning to bow hunt.

I already told my girlfriend I told Lucy, I'm like, I'm gonna wear, I'm gonna kill coyotes. I'm gonna make a line cloth out of it. And then I'm just gonna hunt off my horse and bring back food. And I've got a horn.

Like, whoa. That means my chick, that means I have brought home the kill. So get ready to start cooking, wench. That was, that's how things used to be for what I want.

That dude, I think the natives who had the best pocket. Like sure, technology is cool. And you can get post mates, but post mates is for the week. You know, if you go in there and kill yourself, and you didn't have a boss that's a dickhead being an asshole.

And you're like worried about, Taylor Swift, she's in your life. Your life sucks. If you're out there and fucking peace bongin with your bros, fucking bongin' off a horse, that's livin', dude. Nature, real, like, no, I like the latest movie on Netflix.

You suck. You're bitch-made, dude. Yeah, I think you're right. Die young, fight.

You wanna make a fire, dance around it naked. You know, that's what real livin' is. You know, the problem though with the natives was that they they had a, you know, a party culture. And the whites had the war culture, you know.

White people are the greatest in war. What does that mean? Well, I mean, like, you know, they were taking peyote and masculine and party. I mean, they still went and fought and stuff like that.

Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that when you kind of boil it down the way I see it, at least, the natives were trying to have a good time. But that's the pocket. I know.

Do you mean, like, if I had built a war, dude, I've been in, not real war. I would never say that because I know enough to know that I don't know. I could say, oh, what would I do in a war? I'd probably cry.

I don't know. Maybe I would shoot a bunch of people. I don't know. I've never done it, so I would never say that.

But I've been in real fights, organized fights. I've been in fights where we've been in a house, it might have been a crack house, and everyone was outside waiting to kill us. And we had to go out there. And I was like, this is the end for me.

But my friends get fights. I'm gonna fight with my friends. And I want it to cry. I'm not gonna lie.

I want it to cry and get in a ball. But there was too many dudes around me where I was like, shit. And I was so, I was so scared. It ended up a lot of crack too.

So I was like freaking out. I was, I don't wish that upon any human being. But I do know that when it pushed us to shove, I threw down. I wanted to cry the whole time.

But I threw down. We ran. We got away. Yeah.

But the thing I was saying about the natives, though, is that they had the pocket that was probably one of the greatest apexes of what human experience really is. But the reason they lost it was because they didn't make it hard on themselves. When everything's too comfortable, somebody else comes in and rips it fucking away from you. That's what's happening to us.

That's exactly what's happening to us. We're so comfortable. And we're soft. Yeah.

And then it's like fighters. There's something you're saying about rich kid and you're a fighter. You don't have it. You don't.

I got you. I tell my kid that the other day. My kid box is good. Good athlete.

Strong. He has a temper that I gave him. He's blood. Like you fuck with him.

He will come at you. Like he doesn't care who you are. But there comes a time where it's like, there's so much pain where it's like, well, I'm just gonna go home. And I'm like, well, yeah, that's called common sense.

But like when you come from nothing and you can't go home, when there is no other option, you bite down and you keep going and those people you cannot beat. Anybody I fight that does this before I fight them, we've got to fight on it. This guy's gonna come at me. I know it is.

Yeah. I'm like, Oh God. Yeah. You know, I also think in general, anybody that believes in something they've never seen, they just got more fucking balls.

I do that. Having spirituality is be it your crazy. That's why when I said the thing I don't want to do it. It's like your thing people might come at you.

They might come at me because I have a temple and I come at me because I have friends with him come at me. I don't sweat you, dude. I'm good with the end. Yeah, I made my piece.

God will take me somewhere else. And I'm not when I say God, don't get all man, Lord, say look, if you that's your guy, great. My God, my God doesn't judge other people. It's not my God.

It's God. Yeah, everybody, you know, you're that guy with your cuts cool with, you know, maybe blowing a guy in the public. Yeah, yeah. Hey, if God can allow me to still exist, surely he does not hate the gays, you know.

Well, you know, that's funny you say that because I I've been sort of wrestling with spirituality for the past like year and a half. I was raised Catholic and makes it out of well, you got that rules, dude. You got the guilt complex in the occult, you know, occult, but the cultish ritualistic, you know, method of of articulation, you know, when you're going to a Catholic church, it's very like, you know, you're, you're, there's incense and there's you're eating this guy's body and drinking his blood. It's very, it's very mystical, you know, and the order I get the more I mean, I never didn't believe in God, so to speak, I was maybe agnostic for like a decade of my life, but I'm like, well, you know, the times I believed that there was a God, things were going way, way more on track, not even necessarily better or worse, they were just, I always felt like I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be fucking doing.

I was hitting the fucking line the way I was supposed to do it. And I was, you know, like pulling shit off the show fucking killed me. And when I wasn't, and I was sort of directionless, I wasn't giving it that 150% where I should be like, I should be like, you know, falling apart, but somehow I'm like, dialed. You know what I mean by that?

It's completely, dude. I have a voice, like I hear it, I hear common sense, which is what I call God. Sometimes it's me, sure, but sometimes I just straight up, because I pray all the time. And I'll just hear the answers, you know, and it's like, to me, it was very clear that I used to have another person on my shoulder and I listened to him more.

And I'm not a heaven and hell guy. I can just tell you there's a dark and a lot. And to me, it's like, you should fuck her and I'm like, Oh, I've been listening to you my whole life. And where have we got from that?

I mean, a bunch of apologies had ruined. So when the other ones like, Hey man, you don't need to do that anymore. And maybe you should apologize to her. And I'm like, that sounds painful.

It's like, yeah, but it's for the coming to it like, it's your turn or, you know, or do something to help somebody or, you know, even slittle little things like I'm tired. I'm sick of it. It's like, get up, keep pushing. And I'm like, that's common.

That's for the good. You know, it's like, do something, you know, like make something yourself and make a positive experience for somebody else, whether it's one or five or five million. It doesn't matter about the number. Like, do something good for somebody beside yourself.

Dude, and it's in God's hands to me. Like all I can do is be a good person and show up. The rest is that's good. I don't have anxiety anymore, because I'm not in control.

It's God's hands. I was going to say the term I use is walking with God, but in God's hands is interesting too. Like once I've once you take like what this Puerto Rico thing, for example, I got people saying, well, hey, you know, the these government entities and these consulting firms are very powerful and some of them are the biggest companies in the world. You should be very careful what you're talking about and how you watch your back.

A couple more people than that have told me to. And I think, well, there's nothing really I can do now. I'm already already sort of did what I did and I'm on this trajectory. And it's I mean, it's in God's hands.

I'm walking with God now. And that kind of gives you that peace of mind about what you're doing. And also, when I have, you know, like a thousand DMs about from Puerto Ricans about how, and it's pretty similar every time and every time I try to go respond to it, they're saying, Hey, as a Puerto Rican, thank you for what you are doing for our people on the island because not a lot of people are talking about it. And when you hit that, when you hit the you're surfing the the vein of somebody's site, like like the paradigm of their existence is throttled by this fucked up shadowy government that has basically not fixed the island and funneled money off of it.

And they're so thankful for something like that. I mean, I know I'm hitting something. I hope I'm doing it the right way. You know, that's why I was like, I'll do this podcast.

It will cost me money. Yeah. Well, I'll buy you a lunch or something. I didn't say it for a pad on the pack.

I said this is a great, this is really a great show. And you're just like, all too gay on TikTok and watching the other one. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm just saying, there's other podcasts we exist, you know, you know, man, what do you, let me ask you something.

What do you think the role that people like yourself and other comedians are playing in the overall telling and spreading of truth in the world right now? Because I think that, you know, the capacity comedians kind of have a larger role in telling the truth than a lot of journalists or news outlets do. And that's always been on my mind. I think lately, because of people like Joe Rogan, there's been a huge shift where people get their news and facts from podcasts and not media because media has been proven to lie, not all the time, but lie sometimes.

And that's enough. When you catch him in one, then why would you believe him? It's kind of like, you got friend cheats on you, you know, one time, two times. Next time she says, I swear to God, I didn't sleep with that guy, like, are you going to believe her?

It's hard because you're like, I already know you've lied once. Why would you not like it? Yeah, I already know you're a whore. And to me asking that question to me, no, because nobody cares what I do.

But maybe if comedy keeps going the way it's going, because I am doing better. And it's crazy. My comedy is slowly turning into something else. Like I'm talking about, I actually wrote down a bunch of stuff this morning about doing a one man show where yes, it is comedy, but there is like a lot of serious parts about it.

And I just feel like I've always been a person where, you know, everyone you do the thing and then you do the thing and the next thing you do. And it's like, that's what everybody does. Like, I don't want to do what everybody else does. You know, when I do my radio shows, like, I don't want to be what Howard Stern is.

I want to do my thing. And there's like, they usually do this. And I'm like, I usually don't give a fuck what you do. I'm going to do it my way.

I'll do a special. It's like, when you get to this level, you do your jokes and then you get rid of those jokes and you do your new jokes. And I'm like, that's what you do. I don't have to do that.

And then this world that's forever changing and there's new ways to entertain, I have a different plan for that stuff. Was your first foray into media on radio? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Besides skateboarding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Doing a show same accident to Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk. What should be my cohost? I was like, what's a cohost?

He was like, just be on the radio with me and like make jokes. And I was like, why? And he's like, you're funny. I was like, am I you're getting this huge opportunity.

You're like, what do you mean? Yeah, I did not did I didn't know there was a 10 year reunion for Tony. And one of the bosses goes, you know, Tony told me 10 years ago that you'd be really good at radio and that you should give him a job. And I was like, no, I did not know that.

I know Tony was like, I want you to be my cohost. But he also told Sirius you should give Jason a job. So Tony Hawk knew that I'd be good at radio before I knew what radio really was. That's crazy.

And the only reason I really went at it was because I drank and did drugs when I was in the top like 10 of skateboarding. And I missed my window. Like there were people that started beating me where I was like, I'm better than you. But I'm way better at doing cocaine than all of you.

So I lost that. And when I had this second chance, I was like, when I started skateboarding, I was not a talented person. I just loved it so much that my passion for it woke my body up to become athletic enough to do things that I never thought you had the grit. But then with the radio, I was like, I have natural ability.

I'm like, imagine if you actually honed in on this one. And then it got big and I got money and I don't want to blame it. Did more cocaine or? I didn't know cocaine because I had a heart condition.

But I did everything that I could do to not kill me that was still running. So this time around being sober and having a shot at comedy, I'm like, this is my actual calling and all those things that I did before were to prepare me for this. And this time, I'm coming at it completely clear and sober and in somebody you can count on, like I'm not a suspect, you know what I mean? Like my chick, I'm cured.

I know people find it very difficult, but it's like I don't, it's not just gay, I don't want to have second anybody and people like that's impossible. And I'm like, I would have told you the same thing, dude, but I really have no interest. Chicks are stealing my DMs. And I'm like, oh God, why would you want to?

If you just see me on Instagram and you want to sleep with me, do you know how fucked up you must be? Yeah, dude, I feel the same way. I'm eating it. Whenever these girls are like, well, you know, sending me nudes or whatever, I'm like, oh, you wouldn't have sex with me, you're disgusting.

A little bit. I don't want to say that word, but yeah, I'm being hyperbolic. You're crazy. Like you got it.

You got a weird childhood. I'm hot. You got a weird childhood. You know, I'm not saying I'm not hot.

I'm just saying, I'm sketchy hot. You know what I mean? I'm like, if you like, if you like, he's got a sexy, I'm like, you're sketchy and very mentally ill. I'm very, but at least a little bit.

Well, I was talking more about myself. Yeah, but I'm saying, but I've cured myself. Like, well, God, it's I know what you mean. I can't like a gay.

I'm like, I don't want to say I'm mean because gay people are like, you were one of them. I'm like, look, I'm cool with gay people. I support you. But if you touch me, I will kill you and same with any woman.

Like, if you get near me and do something inappropriate, I will call you out. Dude, read the amount of stimulants. Oh, that's right. The only dude I got down to wait, I can't do coke.

I can't do cracker any of that stuff. Hero and I die. And then I got to create them and weed and sex because I found out, oh, and ketamine, but I did so much ketamine that it stopped working. Dude, because everything and the doctor, I got a doctor's prescription and abused the living shit out of it.

Like, you know, I was like, oh, the doctor gave it to me. I'm like, did the doctor make you go into a hole in a bathroom for 40 minutes? Because that's what I did like three times a week. I was like, no, no, no, that's health.

I'm breaking down the barriers. You see it. I'm like, dude, you're like holding onto a towel like it's your, like it's a rope to life. And then you just come out of it and you're like, wait, what's going on?

I think you're on the roof, but you're really in the best. Everything's red. The amount of shit that I was like, I'm fine. I'm just going to pull off the freeway because I'm going into a K-hole.

And as soon as I come out of it, I'll be home, baby. Driving on ketamine is out of control. I did that through a, uh, can't Pendleton. I took, uh, the lozenges because sometimes my nose wouldn't work because that's not too much of it.

And I was like, I haven't done it for a while. I hurt my knee. I took two lozenges because I was pissed that I hurt my knee. I knew I had to have knee surgery and I hadn't done that for a while.

And I'm driving. And all of a sudden I'm driving in the freeway and I'm like, oh, look at that tree. Whoa, dude, wait, I got to do it. I'm not, hey, and I'm like, if you hit the tree, and I'm like, dude.
