Irvine Improv with Ian Fidance, August, I said Irvine Improv, did not. Good. August 20th. And then Oxnard, Levity, Live in Oxnard, August 23rd.

And then I'm going to be in New York, baby, Comedy Club, in East Village, September 26th. And then Comedy Club in Atlantic City, September 27th. And then back to New York Comedy Club, Stanford, September 28th. And then, wait, I'm going to be at my job company in San Diego, October 8th.

And then, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, coming to Canada. Going to be in Barrie, October 16th. And then I'm going to be in London, October 17th. And then I'm going to be in Hamilton, October 18th.

Bob, here's your uncle. Welcome to the show, everybody. First, I will answer these Zany text messages. As fast as I can, and then I'll get to business, because I got something to say.

First, listening to 814 show, finally talking about Nebraska player. Look up Tori Treiler from Melbourne. He was the best player on the team. No!

I'm not even reading the rest of it. I don't care. No offense, but I don't care about football. But I'm happy for you.

Knock, knock. You ever just chat with the person? Oh my God. Jay, don't recall you mentioning Chickles in months on the podcast.

Is he still with us? Isn't it weird? Like you ask if Chickle is still with us? I posted it.

He passed away. I'm not answering that. Whoa. Nope.

It's a long one. Haven't heard you mentioned Father Grind in a while. Is that still a thing? No, it's not.

The person I was associated with is a retard. So I'm out of that. Where do you get your peptides? And do they have a referral code?

Fancy anus is asking. Listen, fancy anus. Instagram, app woof me. I post it all the time.

Clear peptides. I will be posting soon. I am officially going to be doing some stuff with them. I'll have my own promo code.

All right, Jay. Sorry, I have to do this. Otherwise I'll forget. Mully, someone on the Reddit page was trying to...

I'm not reading Reddit. That's a ridiculous thing to do. You never read Reddit. Remember that.

Wise words from a wise man. One time I read Reddit and I was like, OK, bye Reddit. I don't care what you say. I don't care what you think.

I don't care about your hate or your negativity about any of that stuff. This morning I was in my jacuzzi and I noticed because of the sun it was bouncing off the water. There was these little epiphescent bubbles that were popping off the top and I was like, oh, there's like millions of bubbles floating around, like this far off the water. It's magical.

Good luck, Reddit. I'm looking at bubbles. Bubbles? Reddit.

Which one? You decide what you want to do with your life. Uh, there's a lot. Alice, predicting the future?

Wait. There were some from China. Why is this? We want everything.

What's the only thing in this room is for them? It's so wild why we do that. If you look at an American flag, it probably says me Taiwan. Come on in.

I don't know. Totally. What was it about the Chinese dog treats? It was like, killing dogs or something?

Yeah, it's more than 1,000. What in the US is 2007? Come in and vote for ourselves. We're not capable of doing that.

And here's the thing that we could just cause a lot more people to buy a lot less. Even more than it is now, huh? Uh, based on the goods that I'm familiar with, it's not as crazy as you speak. Because they make more money.

The people earn more money and it starts to shrink. But I still think people manufacture in China. Well, apart from about 40 to 50% cheaper? Yeah.

So are you ready to get a third less shit? I mean, not then they can get targeted. Was that business? Am I, can I handle it?

Is the question? Because I'm for it. I just don't know if it doesn't, does that break me? Well, that's why everybody thinks.

But would it fix the country? Hey, look, and if you're in a budget where, you know, $20 together, stuff fucked up and we buy everything up in mine. Well, if you're in a budget where $20 is going to make the difference between you, I can get it able to pay rent. Then, yeah, anyway, of course, yeah.

So don't buy any Chinese dog treats appearing. Thank you. There it is. Me being a Republican before I even knew it.

Tariffs. That's what I'm for, tariffs. Which brings me to, there's more text messages, but that is a great segue into what I'm going to talk to you about today. Because recently I have become associated with the boonies.

That's a skateboard company that is owned by Tim Pool, who I was not familiar with until just recently. I went to these podcasts. I skated these skatepark. When we started hanging out, obviously, there was a few people that were slitted by DMs knowing that I was going there.

They were like, hey, man, do you know that he's homophobic and racist? And I was like, why would he have me on his podcast? Is this a sneak attack? Are they going to be berated me with like, do you know Gay is wrong or something?

Or do you know how bad black people are? And I'm like, what? That's not true. And then I've got to argue because that seems like a great, I don't think you can win an argument with me about that.

Because obviously, people are people. I don't give a crap about your skin color. And there is gay people. I met them.

I know. Also real quick, I'm not gay. And I understand that that is difficult for some people to comprehend. But I'm an addict.

And a lot of people are addicts. I'm not trying to like, come by our hold hands with other people. But the fact of the matter is a lot of us are running and using things as an addiction to not face the reality of where you are in your life right now. And if you never face where you are in your life right now, you can never fix it and move on better yourself.

You keep choosing Cheetos and sex and attention and boobies and shiny things. And you never get to the root of the problem. So you cannot fix yourself and then move on, move past, become better. This is where I'm at right now.

I'm very, very content, very happy and enjoying my life because of the things that I have changed in my life. I'm not against gay people in any way at all. I'm just somebody that was, I also slept with everybody. No need to get into details, but it's the kind of, I said with the kind of people where, make you drink, you know, instead I just drink liquid death.

But there are people that are gay and there are people that are straight. And there are people that are both. I have the capability of being both. But now that I live a more conservative lifestyle.

And when I say conservative lifestyle, that does not mean that I am a right-wing extremist. It means conservative values make more sense to me. Just me, just my life. I'm not saying that you should do anything that I do.

I'm just saying my experience in the past, very liberal, free living, let's sleep with everybody, let's do whatever we want, whatever makes us happy, let's get it and consume it. Never made me happy. And as somebody that didn't read it, I lived it. I had money, attention, like everyone lying to me.

I said, but they're all the people. I did all the drugs. I was never happy. You can't all say that.

Because you'd like maybe when I had the money, then I'd, well, I had the money. I wasn't happy. I had the attention. I had some fame.

I had all the movies and all the things that you think are cool. And I was a peace missing always. Now, dude, it makes me emotional. For my sobriety and working on myself, again, I'm not saying you need to.

I'm saying just for me, these are my experiences with my life. Your social media comments are not going to steer me one way or the other. No offense, but I don't care what you think. I don't.

I also know that you don't really care. Ee, and then you go off and you eat Cheetos. You don't care what I do. It's just a nitpicking thing because social media has taught us to be such tools.

But to me, when I lived that life, there was a peace missing. Now, and this could be old age. Like, I've heard this. When people get older, they get more conservative.

But I also think when people get older, they get more wisdom. I mean, depending on who you are, but you have a little bit more of life experiences and you start to understand things better. But for me, Boobies had so much power. Attractive people had power over me.

Wealthy people had power over me. Like, there were people that could change my life and that would make me put up with it or go down that road. You know, like, think about all of this. We all like shiny cars or dudes that go to the gym all the time, but they don't know how to fight.

They just look jacked. What is that? If that's making you happy inside you, great. But if you're doing it because you think the girls are going to be impressed and then you can go out with some dingbat.

Because what about if you just go with pretty girls? There's a time there where the person I'm going to date is hot. That if they're not hot, I'm not going out with them. Why do I care if they're hot?

What happens when we're older and we're both not hot? What if I like there's a person that I used to date that was a penthouse pet that has called me recently that is completely nothing is going on? And I was like, wow, I was in love with that. I wasn't in love with that.

I was in love with the thing that you see me with and have respect for me because I'm doing this for props. It's like, it seems like, oh, I don't like gay people. Why? Why?

I don't want to watch it. Why? Because society has raised you to believe that when two men love each other, it's gross. But when two women love each other, that's kind of hot.

That's how society has raised. That's from birth. When people raise you from birth a certain way, it's very difficult to shake it off and be carefree and be like, I'm not judging you because society has raised me to judge you. I'm just me.

I'm happy. I love my friends. My friends love me. Is it if I have a friend or somebody in need that I can help, I would.

Hopefully they would do the same. Sometimes people don't do that. Oh, but not I don't like your shoes screw you. Obviously, I talk smack on people with sketches, but I would help a man if he had sketches on.

You know, I mean, an old man across the street or you mean, like, you know, I did it had socks and crocs on and somebody was a bunch of people beating him up. I would help him, you know? Because I'm not racist and I'm not homophobic. And Tim Poole isn't either.

And you're like, oh, you don't even know. He said this and he said that. I've seen videos. I've seen it.

He's got a lot of political statements. He does a political podcast and most of it, pretty much all of it to me, I don't even understand. I also don't care. I don't care about being a Republican or being a Democrat.

You know, the closest thing I can get to relating was like, what I want to be if it's a Republican or a Democrat? My children's mother is a Republican. So I lean more Republican because that's my child's mother who is a unbelievably great mother and my kids love her and I want to stamp aside her so that my kids don't feel like they're being torn. There you go.

That's just fun. And I, again, really don't care. Here's the bottom line. Democrats in charge, if you're poor, you don't make any more money.

You can't afford your food and you can't afford rent. Republicans are in charge. You don't get any food. You can't, your job doesn't pay you a bunch of money.

You can't afford your rent. That's it. I don't like it. I don't like any of them because I want all of us to get double our money for what we work for and half the money for rent.

That's what I want. And if you can't do that, I don't care. I don't care about trans people and sport. I don't care about them in the bathroom.

I don't care about any of your opinions about any of it anymore. I only care about the people around me. If you need help, I will help you. That's it.

And Tim Paul, I have said to this guy's face, are you racist? Are you homophobic? He's like, well, first of all, I'm half Asian. I'm like, that's a pretty good argument.

But still, you could be racist and half Asian, but I haven't seen it. I've seen some comments that it's like, whoa, you know, he's being honest with something, or maybe he's saying it to like trigger you guys. I don't know. I just know that he's into skating.

Like he's a proper skateboarder. He's a proper everybody that's watching this show, everybody that's watching this, unless you're Tony Hawk, but he's probably not watching this. He's more of a skater than you. And that's what I am.

I'm a skater. And this guy is invested in skating. And this is the relationship that I have with Tim. Is it skating?

We skate. We hang out and skate. He supports me in skating. You know, when I was on the show, he didn't ask me my opinion about anything about anything about things.

Because I don't know and I don't care. And all you guys out there are like, oh, he's that. Now you are. I'm a Russian spy.

Really? Really? Do you have any proof? Do you have actual proof written down proof that he is like working with Russia to ruin America or ruin, what's the other place in Russia?

Ukraine. Yeah, like I just don't care neither do you. You know, you're just in this thing. Man, man, I'm just skating, man.

I just, like, I'm out of my kids. We're getting back to this conservative value thing. Like, you know, also just real quick with the temple thing. Like, you know, you think Chris Cole did stuff with these ex-wife that he put hands on her.

Turns out he didn't. Turns out he won this thing and a court case and the judges. So it's like proven legally that he did not do it. But you don't care about that.

You just heard it from somebody. So you're just going to keep pounding on him. He didn't do it. Also, Whitney Cummings is dating him.

Has she got any bruises? Is she? I hang out with her all the time. She would tell me he doesn't done it to her.

Weird, right? Because it seems like he's kind of a woman badger. Why don't you go buy a crystal leotichate or check him out on TikTok? Because that one's actually proven that he's like hit on 16 year old.

But that's different, right? Is that different? You know, but it's also Brian Callan is friends with him. I'm not going to hate Brian Callan.

I don't know what Brian Callan's thing is with him. I don't know. I'm not there. You're not here.

You don't know what I do. Shut up or keep talking. I don't care. I got my friends.

I got people that care about me. People have dark past people who have made mistakes. If you may have did a bunch of weird stuff. May him was out of his mind on drugs and him and his girlfriend got into things where they put hands on both on each other.

More than once. Now he's sober. And if he stays down going down that road, I will support him. If he doesn't, I will leave immediately.

And he knows that. People deserve second chances. I have done things wrong too. I've cheated on everybody.

I've ever dated because I'm an addict. And now I'm doing the work and I'm getting sober and I'm living a conservative lifestyle. I don't care about Republican or Democrat. I'm a conservative when it comes to my lifestyle.

And this is only my opinion because of my life experiences. In my life, what I have experienced is now that I am no longer valuing, sleeping with people or being cool for the outside world. Like I'm just, who are my friends? Who can I count on?

And guess what? A lot of the ones that I can count on are Republicans. Black Rifle. Everybody I know Black Rifle is a top bloke.

They're good guys. They got my back. I could stay at their house. They need me to pick me up at the airport.

I need somebody to pick me up at the airport. They're there man. I don't care what they vote for. I don't care who they're friends with.

I like, I'd have my opinion in a room where there was another guy that was friends with another guy that was saying to stuff. I was like, hmm, that's weird. What do you want me to do? It's not, it's their thing.

They will raise a certain way to think a certain thing. It was like the whole eel gay people. I'm sure there's people that know people that I know that are like, oh two guys making out, that's gross. Good.

Fair. That's how you grew up. I don't like rollerbladers. Cause I grew up hating rollerbladers.

Is it stupid? Is that stupid? Yes. But it's how I feel.

Even when it judged me for that, do it. I just don't care anymore about what you think. I'm very happy. Timples a nice guy to me.

I haven't seen him do anything bad. Never seen Punch and Asian or, you know, or, you know, I was like, can trans girls go to the bathroom? He's like, yeah. Gave people get married.

Like, of course. That's face to face. So what have you seen? You saw a TikTok video where you said otherwise?

I know him. You don't know him. You know? If you want to argue and you are friends with him, let's have that discussion.

But if you don't know him and you've never met him and you think I'm a douche because I'm involved with him, I don't care. You don't know what you're talking about. You're angry about nothing. But since I've lived this conservative lifestyle, I have never been happier.

Obviously being sober, really working on myself. I don't sleep around with people. I have no interest in sleeping around with people. I have very, I sleep with my girlfriend because I love her.

Is she hot? Yeah. Okay, that's a bonus. But it's not, it's a weird dynamic.

It's hard for me. I'm still making adjustments where I'm like, I, yes, she is a pretty girl. But it's not, I don't lose myself in the power of beauty. Where I used to just, I, what you could, if you were like, here's my boobs, let me blow you.

I'd be like, oh no, and you could. Now I'm like, look, that's really, I'm happy for you that you're hot. But I don't care. I just don't care.

The power is gone from working on myself. Nobody has power over me anymore. And it's so liberating. I feel so free.

The greatest thing about all this is living this life this way. I got a text last night. I don't know how long I'm going to be alive, right? Neither do you guys.

But I got a text message last night. That was the greatest text message I have ever gotten in my life. No lie, no exaggeration. And like what you think about me hanging out with Tim Pool or Mayhem or Chris Cole or any of these people.

Or I don't mean like I'm like, hey, I don't think I haven't been in porn is a good idea. If your insects work fine, I'm not saying I hate you. I'm just saying my personal experiences with it and the people that I associated with when I was doing that didn't seem happy. You know, people that sleep around with a lot of people seem anxious.

And this, maybe that's just like they're like on antidepressants and stuff. I'm not, I was, but I'm not, I'm not anxious. When things are stressful, then there's nerve-wracking situations, I believe in God. It's not in my hands.

It's in God's hands. And the anxiety is gone. Because I don't think it, I believe, I know it. And when you know it, then there's no point trying to change.

You can't change it. It's in God's hands. So why worry? And you might not, you might not, oh God, oh no, what are you religious?

Maybe I am. If you're attacking me on social media, because I say I believe in God, I'm not attacking you because you don't. You know why I'm not attacking you? Because I'm pretty happy with everything.

You're not figuring that out for yourself. I hope you do. And if you don't, I'm sorry. Not ee, it's afire.

I hope you do. I hope you're happy. But anybody that says anything about me, about anything that's good or bad, doesn't matter. My 16-year-old son out of nowhere texted me last night before I went to bed and said, Dad, I know we don't hang out a lot, but I wanted to let you know that I'm really proud of how hard you work and how long you've been sober.

Love you, Dad. Thanks for being the best. I'm not sad. I'm so happy that it makes me want to cry tears of joy.

Because what is important in life, you know? Also, if you don't have kids, don't have kids, that's great. I'm not saying you have to, but I have kids and I've made mistakes in my life that has changed their lives for the worst. I've made it more difficult for them because of my choices in life.

And now that I'm going down this conservative, I don't, it's not, but... And these are my experiences, not everybody else's. The other side, hanging out with all the people that do the drugs and drink and DuPont, and this is not, that's an extreme side of things. Granted, there's some very together liberal people, you know?

You got your John Fry or whatever the hell his name is, Karen Como over Guy. He hates Mark Marin, you know? Because he's a conservative guy and he's got some points. And then Mark Marin's got points, but Mark Marin seems stuck up, you know?

Like, oh, the Rogan Sphere. And I'm like, look man, if you want to be in the Rogan Sphere, good for you. Like if you're in Hollywood, you're in LA and you're doing movies. I'm sure there's people that you're being nice, if you don't really like it, you blow and smoke up each other's ass, it's fake.

I'd show there's people in Austin that don't really like each other, the blood smoke up each other's ass so they can get into the mothership. Everyone's full of shit. I just don't hate any of them. I like Mark Marin.

Then John, Jeff Fry, Jeff, is it Jeff Fry? I think so. Jeff Fry's got parts of the comedy store. He's kicking ass.

Oh, Jeff, is it Jeff? Oh, oh. Look, I don't, dude, I don't, oh, I'm not trying to, I don't care. You know, like, I've met the guy.

He seemed nice enough. I'm happy for everybody doing whatever they do. Matt Rife, everyone hates Matt Rife. Apparently a lot of people love Matt Rife.

Good for you. That's awesome. Crowdwork, not crowdwork. I don't care.

Like, you made it, man. You made it. You're not funny. I've been a part of this.

I've done this. You know why? Because I'm insecure. I can be open.

I can be honest with it. I have insecurities. And when I have insecurities, I lash out and say things. That's what you're doing.

I know you're doing it. Because I've been it. I know what angry he is. I know what Sad is.

Because I've been, as angry as Sad, as anyone ever has been. And they're really happy. I got a fucking text message from my son. But how proud he is of his father out of nowhere.

If I die tomorrow, I've done it. I have redeemed myself. I am a good man. You can count on me.

The rest is gravy, dude. You know? If I get to go to the beach. I'm going to, I've been skating a bunch.

I'm so sore. I'm skating tonight. I'm leaving. I'm going down to Tony's and I'm going to skate.

I'm going to skate. I'm going to keep skating. And then I'm going to fly to Washington. And then I'm going to get dropping on a seven foot wall that no one has ever dropped.

I want to do try to do any broken. It's a favorite. And I'm going to do it. I'm going to make it.

I'm going to get 10 grand. Then I'm going to go on vacation with a girlfriend and sleep with just her and nobody else. And be super happy and content about it. And if somebody's like, hey, what's up?

Here's my titties. I'd be like, that's nice. But no, thank you. And you don't like again, these are just my experiences.

There's been my whole life. Boobies. I'd be like, I got to do it. And then I'm like, oh, good for you.

I don't care. Jason Al is here for Alice 2.0. Talking about him as him is the future. Baby hair and boners and weight.

Thanks, hymns. My girlfriend got a job because she's a fit model. As a bonus, she's pretty hot. But also, this is a weird thing.

I don't care. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything like I love her. But like, if I shock her, leg tomorrow, I'm not leaving her. You know?

I might be more into it actually. I need to stop people. Look at her lie. Trying to think of her lie.

I was like, if she lost an eye, I'd be like, that's hard. Like, put a patch on, you know? I'd be into that. Trying to think of like, what sort of, I mean, be tough to love her if she was like, you know, like, she had brain damage.

Have you tough? Well, it took her. Dot turn. She's like, mad hues.

Do you know what? Okay, that's what we should probably should. It's better. She just gets saying, welcome to Tito's cantino.

Okay, that would be tough. You know? It's just like, Jason, Tito's cantino, five times, you're three. I'll be like, dude, we got to talk.

I think we're breaking up. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be tough. Yeah, but I don't know.

That's not her. You know, like, I'm saying, like, she's a good person. She's a good, hard person who's worked on herself. You know, she's got her own afflictions like we all do, but instead of running, she has faced these things, got to the bottom of them and become the best version of herself that she can be.

And I can relate to that. You know? We all kind of run around, joking off, you know? A bunch of people always doing these things.

You're not a shape. You know, you got these fitness people like how to eat. You know? Like, I got a dietitian.

Google it! You don't need a dietitian. Michael said in the chat, thank goodness Jules doesn't care about living some of his brain damage. Right.

Right, that is fair. That's also, that's pretty spot on, because I do definitely have brain damage. And sometimes I have flex my brain damage to her and so far I think she thinks it's cute, you know? She has noticed that my time schedule, when did that happen?

And I will say three months a lot. And that could be anywhere from a couple of hours ago to like five years. Because like someone will actually give me the date and it's like, no dude, that was in 2007. I was like, oh, that was a couple of months ago.

Which makes it exciting for me, which you never know. But I think I'm gonna go to Thailand. Also another thing, Thailand. I've been to Thailand.

I don't want to get into what I did when I was in Thailand. But it involved Crystal Mass and prostitution. I feel like I got into it a little bit. You're like, I don't want to get into it.

Here's exactly what it does. Yeah, well, no, there was a lot more than that. There was like, ping pong balls and all kinds of stuff. But yeah, this time I would like to go and I would like to see the country and experience stuff, you know?

Like go hiking, you know, like I don't want to hike. I don't like hiking because I get sore. And I'm like, well, sore is just, you know, that's like, that's you getting out there and doing stuff. It's like, I'm sore right now from skating, but I'm gonna go skate because I love to skate.

But before, I was like, let's go on a hike in Thailand. I'm like, well, I don't want to go on a hike in Thailand because I smoked meth last night with some people, let's say. I'm not gonna say what you're thinking, but you're right if you're thinking it. And yeah, I don't really feel like hiking because I feel like I might have a heart attack.

Also, when I got back from Thailand, that's when I had my heart went into AFib. And I'm like, I wonder if it had anything to do with that particular experience where I was drinking, doing illegal substances. Excuse me. Yeah, I didn't do, I didn't go do anything.

I was just only trying to sleep with people or set up a potential thing that involved me sleeping with people or talking about something where I had just slept with people. Or getting high. That was it. Oh, no.

Okay, tell a lie. Sometimes I ate. So that was a part of it. For sure, be dead if you went on a meth hike.

Yeah, right. Yeah, that probably would have been it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because I had, yeah, man.

But when I realized this, like I was talking about it, like I was like, I'm going to make that drop in. Like this is the thing that people need to realize. If you want to get something done in your life, there's no, you know, I'm going to really give it my all. I'm not going to give it my all.

I'm going to do it. And I've seen it in my head. And the other thing is you don't just go, I'm going to do it and then you show up. You put in work.

That's the thing I think a lot of us fail to realize is these people that are successful in life. Yes, there is a mental attitude that you have where you know you're going to do it. But then there's the work that a lot of people seem to forget because it's just that we're TikTok life, you know? We see somebody doing it and we go, yeah, that's it.

Or you got a guy that's like, I will do it. You just mean like Goggins, you know, also David Goggins, he actually runs constantly all the time to the point where I don't think his limbs really work anymore. Also, I see a lot of people saying that he's a dead big dead now. I don't know if that's true.

But look, I don't know. You don't know. That's it. There you go.

There's a perfect example. I don't know David Goggins. I don't even know if he has kids. I haven't googled it either.

But I bet you the people that are talking smack on him right now also didn't Google it either. You just sort on TikTok and now you're going for the jugular. You don't know. You don't know.

Pretty funny comment though from someone that said, who's going to carry your other boats? Who's going to pick up your kids from school? Wait, who? David Goggins.

Oh, yeah, man. It's not right, but it's funny. Right. That's funny.

But yeah, that's joke school. But I don't know what he did. Neither do you. And boy, do we love to hate people without really understanding why.

But yeah, when I realized also, conversations that I'm having right now where I'm talking about something else and then I go back to the thing that I was talking about was not a thing that I was capable of doing two years ago. You know, I was listening. I was thinking about this this morning. I have been getting high since I was 11.

So 42 years I have been running. And I have been sober and working on myself and facing my afflictions for two years, not even two years, 22 months. And I am not the same person at all. I don't have the same interests.

I don't have the same values. So people that want to troll me and all the things on social media, he's the right wing extremist. Sure. But I think really what it is is I just have conservative values now.

And I think we're all on social media judging people. But when you meet people face to face, that's where I'm at. And comedy's taught me that. You know, I do comedy shows and meet people face to face.

Most of us are pretty good. You know, sometimes some of us drink too much and we say silly things, but there was really no harm in it. You know, most of us are, you know what we care about? Our loved ones, you know?

It's like someone says, I'm just making some pushing mum rent at the front of a store or something. You're going to go ballistic, you know? I'm just going to put hands on your kids. You're going to go ballistic.

Because that's the thing that matters the most. We get carried away with having cars and having cool stuff. I mean, I did. And now I don't.

And because of that, you know, like, am I still in a financial squeeze? Absolutely. Do I care? Not really.

I mean, would I prefer that it wasn't that way? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I saw a thing today that my ex's boyfriend had $600 to his name before he's last fight the other day. And I was like, no, he didn't. Like he personally might have, but he had money. You know where he got it from?

Me. That's my addictive personality that's talking to me about stuff. But I'm happy. I hope it helped him.

Happy one too. Bro, you've been a huge help. I've been sober for a week now. I only drink.

Is that bourbon's? I don't even know what that means. There's a long one. Whoa.

Whoa. I mean, that's a lot. Oh, I'll try. Me, and I'll try.

Just a word of thanks. I've always enjoyed listening to the show and have stepped in and out over and then past decade with you being on Sat Radio and podcast. For me, you're always funny, lighthearted, over the top, just entertaining. I had a good time, so I listened.

I enjoyed the show and looking forward to it as my mental unplugged time, balancing the other parts of my life that are more rigged, rigid and formal, same school, Jason. But I didn't need the show. Some things, something different in 2.0 that I didn't realize I needed until the past show last week. Thanks for helping me.

See at 44 just now, just out how far I've come since I was in my 30s and 20s and teens. Just seeing how much of a refrain perspective you have about your life over the past six months has told me that no matter how hard my shit feels like to me right now, 54-year-old, I'm 53. Me, 54-year-old, me, it's going to be in an even better place than I am now. You keep saying things that feel like you could just as easily be talking to only me or about what's in my head, what you said about wanting us to be okay and to do well, not get eaten by a shark or whatever, but at the same time not giving a shit about us or really anyone, except for those that really are close to you, just hits me so real and personal.

I've always felt the same way. It's not something that I can explain to someone, to some of the people, even ones that are close to me without sounding like an uncaring asshole. But man, it was so nice to hear you say it in the same way that I've always felt. And now I know I'm the only one that feels that way.

Maybe I'm not some villain or a piece of shit because I can separate the difference. Now, anyhow, I totally understand from what you've said that the 2.0 show doesn't pay shit for doing it or different. Thank you. You're making a difference, keep it up.

Josh, that is the longest message I've ever read in my entire life. I felt like I was going to give up at least seven times. My head hurts. I'm not replising the chat.

Am I? Did I? Oh yeah. Thank you.

I know, right? Thank you, guys. That is... I need a donut.

That was crazy. Jason, how is it? What did you decide? What did I decide for what?
