WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.359 Twenty nineteen when there was a young scamp coming to town. 2 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.000 He had this little YouTube channel that was growing by 3 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.880 leaps and bounds as he made fun of people doing 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.199 yoga and eating vegan food, and I thought he was hilarious. 5 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.199 Well I was right. 6 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.640 America now knows that JP's ears is hilarious and he's 7 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.920 back to go to comedy works Awaken with JP. Yes, Awaken, 8 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.359 that's an awfully full of yourself sort of title to 9 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:27.559 give your program, like. 10 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.199 I'm here to open your eyes. 11 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.560 Well, you know, I maybe I'm a narcissist, and if so, 12 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.200 it's a condition and I need people to cater to 13 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.399 my condition. I'm a victim, even though narcissist victimize other people. 14 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.880 So yeah, I'm pretty great, Mandy. 15 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.439 I see that on your YouTube channel consistently. You're very 16 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.799 consistent with your own greatness. Well, I want to ask 17 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.320 you a question about how you evolved over time on 18 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.840 YouTube because when you started, as I said, you would 19 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.079 kind of pick a topic and a lot of times 20 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.119 it was like the sensitive, snowflaky kind of thing. But 21 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.159 you've really and you giving really sharp but very funny 22 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.159 political commentary is part of what you do. 23 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.599 How did that process happen. 24 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.599 Yeah, it's it's a really a dramatic evolution and none 25 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.519 of it was planned and basically it just happened. Like 26 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.840 the shortest answer is what was most important to me 27 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.719 was changing. So when I was doing like the New 28 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.359 Age making fun of this spiritual stuff, you know, that's 29 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:29.519 what my life was. 30 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.519 I was very in that. 31 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.200 I lived in southern California for a while, spent a 32 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.480 fair bit of time in Boulder. 33 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:35.519 Oh gosh. 34 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.159 I was immersed in that kind of New Age life. 35 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.799 And after a while I realized that there's a lot 36 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.120 of b es in it. There's a lot of egotistical 37 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.799 nature that hides behind these like better than Thou hiding spots. 38 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.920 So even though I was getting a lot of value 39 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.719 from that kind of community, I said, well, nobody's calling 40 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.400 out this like shadows side, so I'm going to do 41 00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.400 I see the shadow side and me, I'm going to 42 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.599 do that, and I. 43 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:01.480 Want to make it funny. 44 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.799 And then you know, a little time goes on and 45 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.840 COVID happens, and I think a lot of people changed 46 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.360 with COVID. We woke up to different things, and part 47 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.719 of that was I woke up to what's most meaningful 48 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.960 to me, and for the first time in my life, 49 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.800 I realized, well, freedom is my number one value. I 50 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.520 didn't know that before because I just always taken it 51 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240 for granted. That's part of the blessing and living such 52 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.680 a beautiful country. But I was ignorant to it. And 53 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.599 then with COVID, I'm like, I'm not taking this for 54 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.560 granted anymore. And I had never been remotely interested in politics, 55 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.199 but you know, freedom and so many other things, like 56 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.879 literally everything became a political issue. 57 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.919 So wanting to use my comedy. 58 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.520 As a way to speak what I see as truth, 59 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.919 it just so happened to be, well, the political arena 60 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.080 is where that's at right now. So thus in twenty twenty, 61 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.039 I kind of woke up and found myself, I guess 62 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.840 I'm interested in poulolitics right now. 63 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:02.840 You know, there's an old saying that even if you're 64 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.960 not interested in politics, politics is interested in you, right 65 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.479 So it's always funny when I especially young people, when 66 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.000 I meet them and they're like, I just don't follow politics, 67 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000 and I'm like, you know what, that's your prerogative, but 68 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.800 know that someone right now, somewhere else is making decisions 69 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.319 for your life that you don't get to participate in 70 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.039 because you don't. 71 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.159 Have time to follow politics. 72 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.639 It's sad because it's such a kind of thing to 73 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.199 have to follow, but it's so incredibly important. 74 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.400 I agree, and I think, you know, you can see 75 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.680 I have more gray here hairs on my beard than 76 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.120 I used to. But even just five years ago, I 77 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.280 would have thought the same thing, like a politics that 78 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.439 doesn't affect me, right, you know, I don't see a 79 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.759 different space on who's president, where the Senate's at, where 80 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.639 the House is, and what's going on. And that's because 81 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.159 I wasn't seeing the difference. I wasn't looking for it, 82 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.439 but realizing, you know, the government's spending They don't spend 83 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.479 their money because they don't have money, they're spending our money, 84 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.840 and laws and regulations like a new one passed. 85 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.479 You probably don't notice that, but. 86 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.240 It moves things an inch in one direction or better 87 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.159 or worse. So when that happens over and over and 88 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:07.919 over again, you. 89 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.199 Realize things have slid a mile. Yeah, and it's happened 90 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.280 so slowly. I haven't paid attentions. 91 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.199 So I do very much value the idea of whatever 92 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.240 age you are. 93 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.879 Don't lose yourself in politics. Don't take it too seriously. 94 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.519 Correct, don't get self identity with being with one group, 95 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.319 but pay attention and get involved in a way that 96 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.399 you can sustainably do, because you know, we're we the 97 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.720 people shape the course of this country. 98 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:36.959 It must have been. 99 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.759 I'm sure you've lost some friends along the way as 100 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.319 you were part of this sort of spiritual awakening, sort 101 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.480 of holistic community. 102 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.480 Have you lost friends over this? 103 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.959 Have there been things that you've done where they just said, 104 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.000 that's it, that's too far. 105 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.319 I haven't in that shock, suh, that's it. 106 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.000 That's fantastic though. That's good to hear. 107 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.600 And there's you know, all of my close friends. What 108 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.439 I got to realize during this weird divided Olympic cycle 109 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.800 we went through since twenty twenty is all of my 110 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.000 friends they were heart based relationships. They weren't based on 111 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.040 this superficial we have to agree with each other to 112 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.519 be in proximity with each other. But certainly what I 113 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.920 did lose is like people on the periphery were you know, 114 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.399 a friend'll say, hey, you know so and so they're 115 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.560 saying bad things about you, and I'm like, I actually 116 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.839 I don't care, and that's okay, And So are. 117 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.720 You getting text messages in all caps JP, because that's 118 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:37.120 really when you know you've you've driven someone absolutely crazy. 119 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.560 What are some of the topics that you find just 120 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.360 get incredible engagement, either positive or negative. 121 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.240 Yeah, for a good. 122 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:50.439 While, like men competing in women's got incredible engagement, you know, 123 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.040 talking about the you know, the shots that everybody was 124 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.240 trying to push on you. 125 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.839 That was getting incredible engagement. 126 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.160 And you know the unfortunately during the time over the 127 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.160 summer when assassination attempts were coming at Trump, those were 128 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.160 getting incredible engagement. And the common denominator I find with 129 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.879 like any given topic that gets really good engagement is 130 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.920 that's the topics that are most emotionally provoking for people. 131 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.600 So you get you know, parents and they whether they 132 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.560 have a daughter or not, they can imagine having a 133 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.439 daughter because they know that parental feel an idea of 134 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.199 a grown man changing in the locker room with them, 135 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.240 let alone, potentially creating physical harm and at the very 136 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.120 least taking away opportunity for them in the sporting world. 137 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.879 Parents can relate to that and they get so a 138 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.160 lot of emotion. And then you know, with assassination attempt 139 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.879 I mean that is very emotionally provoking. You realize this 140 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.240 is a man, a human being, a father, a grandfather. 141 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.439 They just try to kill, let alone a president, let 142 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.600 alone the front runner for the next presidency. So anything 143 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.800 that really universally moves people. And then there's little things 144 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.079 that interest me and I'm like, well, I want to 145 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.160 do a video on this, or I stand up on this. 146 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.120 It's not like the mega emotional provoking thing, but. 147 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.040 I call it my self indulgences. I have them on 148 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.959 the show as well. I have been following Venezuela since 149 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.480 two thousand and five on my radio programs all over 150 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.839 the country because I knew we were gonna I knew 151 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.920 what was coming, and we were gonna get to watch 152 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.920 it play out in real time. And I'm not happy 153 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.040 about what's happened to Venezuela, but I tell people all 154 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.959 the time, I'm like, you want to see the end 155 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.920 result of what some of the people in this country want. 156 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.839 It just happened and people are eating zoo animals. Yeah, 157 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.120 so that's what you want, Like by your year long 158 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.920 past to the zoo, because you're gonna need it to 159 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.519 get into the monkey cage to get a snack. 160 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.839 At some point, if you pursue this. 161 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.639 Yeah, I love that. 162 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.240 You know, Venezuela wasn't on my map until a few 163 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.040 years ago, but I love that because you had it 164 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.959 on your map, and it is a preview. Is unfortunate 165 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.680 what happens to those people, but it's a preview for 166 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.839 what will happen if certain political ideologies in this country 167 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.279 get extrapolated. 168 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.079 So what are your what are your self indulgences? 169 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.639 My self indulgences? Jeez? 170 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.839 You know, most recently the Jake Paul like Tyson, Oh 171 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.199 my god, Okay, nothing, there's no meaning in it, no purpose, 172 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.920 but it was so fascinating. 173 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.959 Okay. So, first of all, I love boxing. 174 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.399 I have enjoyed it since I was a kid, when 175 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.600 my parents used to watch the Muhammad Ali fights on, like, 176 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.279 you know, Sunday Sunday while Sunday what is it? 177 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.159 Wide world just wants on Sunday. Yeah. But and did 178 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.240 you watch the undercards? 179 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:38.799 I did. 180 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:44.360 Those were fantastic. Those were two phenomenal fights. But the 181 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.480 Jake Paul like Tyson thing, I just felt like I 182 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.360 was watching somebody beat up somebody's grandpa and it was awful. 183 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.879 It was it was like, oh. 184 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.360 It was awful. It didn't surprise me. 185 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.360 I was truly blown away by the undercard fights, especially 186 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:58.480 the women's fight. 187 00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.320 Holy lower. 188 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.679 I wasn't sure about chick fighting, like because I saw 189 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.960 enough of that in high school. I grew up in 190 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.679 a redneck high school. A lot of chick fighting where 191 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:05.120 I grew up. 192 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.519 But they were They beat the crap out of each other. 193 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:10.120 They did it. 194 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.360 I mean, man, I'm sure the misogynists love it. They're like, well, 195 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.279 they both deserve it. But it was a hell of 196 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.279 a fight. And one of the things that fascinates me 197 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.200 about the Mike Tyson Jake Paul matchup is just the 198 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.720 mysterious thinking behind it. You know, they first of all 199 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.279 masterful marketing. Yep, the numbers I hear. 200 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.519 Sixty million is what Netflix reported right, Well, for the 201 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240 people that could actually watch it, yeah, it'd. 202 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.240 See a lot of buffering. 203 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.519 And apparently from what I hear, Jake Paul walked away 204 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.879 with forty million, Mike Tyson twenty million. And good for them, 205 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.960 they deserve it. This is a free market. Amazing for them, 206 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.360 and I think it relied on unethical marketing because you know, 207 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.679 it was hyped to be a certain thing. 208 00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.840 What was delivered was. 209 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.519 From what it was hype to be. I don't think 210 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.279 anybody on the inside would have thought that, yeah, we're 211 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.759 going to deliver a real fight, having a twenty seven 212 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.080 year old guy fight a fifty eight year old guy. 213 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.639 There's an ethical question. 214 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:15.679 Again. 215 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.440 It was consensual, it was good, but. 216 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.799 That was like watching somebody beat up your grandpa, and 217 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.399 it was it was just I. At one point I 218 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.639 was texting with my husband. He was somewhere else. We 219 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.440 were watching it together, far apart, and I was just like, 220 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.519 I this hurts me to watch this, and. 221 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.360 It was Hopefully Jake Paul did hold up. He could 222 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.799 have beaten the crap out of an old man. 223 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.919 He really did, and it would have been awful. 224 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.039 And the thing that fascinates me the most, like Jake 225 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.120 Paul kind of universally got a lot of hate for that, 226 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.080 I think, and that works for Jake Paul because now 227 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.120 more people are interested. I want to see what he 228 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.159 does next, so I get that's exactly. 229 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:54.960 What Ja Paul was. 230 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.320 He's the consummate villain. 231 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.159 And the other thing that fascinates me is, you know, 232 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.600 the world's showing love for Mike Tyson, just wanting him 233 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.639 to do well and nobody remembers he's convicted of one 234 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.279 of the most vile crimes imaginable he has had. 235 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.279 He's one of those kind of tragic anti heroes almost 236 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.159 in our culture. 237 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:19.639 And his backstory. 238 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.440 I think a lot of people, you know, his backstory 239 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.399 is just so sad. And the fact that he's pretty 240 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.720 much been exploited as a brute since he was like 241 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.559 fifteen years old. 242 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.799 Yeah, a horrible time. 243 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.200 Yeah, you know, I think that. 244 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.000 You know, in America, I think we want to forgive people, 245 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.440 we want we want to see them do better, we 246 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.600 want to see them kind of rise above. And I 247 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.720 feel like there was a lot of that at Mike 248 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.519 Tyson in that situation. What can people expect from the show, 249 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.600 Like we're just chatting about the news, But what can 250 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.720 people expect when they come to see you at Landmark 251 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.879 Comedy Works this weekend? 252 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:48.240 Yeah? 253 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.879 Well, first off, Comedy Works the best club in the country. 254 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.960 I always love being here.

But but 271 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.279 they're also old enough to form their own independent thoughts 272 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.320 for the first time. Loved that age for my daughter. 273 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.399 So I'm jealous of you because you've just entered it 274 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:40.320 four to five years. 275 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:40.519 Right. 276 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.639 My little boy, what he's doing now that amuses me 277 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.840 the most is saying the F word with no idea 278 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.080 what it means. He's seeing it in the cutest, happiest way, 279 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.720 and I'm doing my best to not like make a 280 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.720 big deal of it, but not like feed in. 281 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.000 Yeah, yeah, I just. 282 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.919 Say it's better to not use that word. Yeah, is there? 283 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.480 I am a hypocrite? Like where do you learn that? 284 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.639 Well, I because I'm on the radio, I have this 285 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.120 ability to flip that switch to Curson switch. So I 286 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.879 never cursed around my daughter. Ever, now she's fifteen, that 287 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.879 has changed. Yeah, because now on occasion I will have 288 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.679 to unfurnil the phrasing that gets her attention. 289 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.679 Let me just say that. 290 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.559 And the first time I actually cursed, she was like, oh, oh, 291 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.480 you know, and I was proud at that moment. My husband, 292 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.919 on the other hand, doesn't have that switch. So we 293 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.759 have those same situations. Well, we have freedom of speech, 294 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.000 so I know, but I'm not the government, but I 295 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.279 can shut you down in my house. 296 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.960 So that's that's the rules, mom rules. 297 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.720 JP is going to be at Comedy Works and Landmark 298 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.159 all weekend long. You got shows Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, okay, 299 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.879 I've got a link on the blog for people to 300 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.240 buy tickets if you want to. Actually and this is 301 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.440 one of those things where most of the time I 302 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.320 would say, I don't want to speculate that, I'd say 303 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.879 eighty five percent of comedians lean left and I will 304 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.240 in a show and eventually there's that one joke that 305 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.440 I'm like, Okay, that's that's my shot. You know you're 306 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.519 gonna take it. It's nice to know that they are 307 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.440 funny people out there that are making fun of everyone. Yeah, 308 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.240 and it's just nice to know that I'm probably not 309 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.559 going to be viciously. 310 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:15.559 Insulted when I come to your show. 311 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:17.759 Yeah, you'll be insulted. 312 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.679 Because you know that's what you do, Aileen right as well. 313 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.840 But if I can't make fun of myself from what 314 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.759 I believe my side, then I'm a hypocrite. And so 315 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.080 I think the self deprecating my own views. That's important too. 316 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.279 And of course, uh, you know, plenty of punches thrown 317 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:35.159 to the other side too. 318 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.120 Are you talking at all about some of the cabinet 319 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.360 picks that President Trump has made, because. 320 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:44.120 Some of these have been I raising, eyebrow raising, you 321 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.039 have to say they they're. 322 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.799 Fascinating to me. 323 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.159 And obviously the Matt Gates saga, that's all please out now. 324 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.000 I don't know if you saw he did pull himself 325 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.039 out of contention, which I thought was going to happen. 326 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.519 Yeah, I probably with a lot of people. Elon fascinates 327 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.120 me the most because here's the guy A lot of 328 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.600 us look at him like a savior. You know, we're 329 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.080 living in a world where we're afraid of these globalists 330 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.440 like taking too much control over people. So here comes Elon. 331 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.679 He's done so much for free speech. And you know, 332 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.559 he controls a major portion of the automobile industry with Tesla, 333 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.039 major corner of free speech with Twitter, he controls space 334 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:28.039 travel with SpaceX, human health with Neurlink, and now he's 335 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.320 got a major position in the government, giving this man 336 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.799 all that control. To save us from the people that 337 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.639 just want to control us, we need to think about that. 338 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.799 I have a massive non sexual crush on Elon Musk, 339 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.600 like he is my dream interview because I just want 340 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.600 to know what is it in him that makes him 341 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.320 have no fear of failure, think about everything He's thrown 342 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.039 against the wall like crazy. Some dude goes, you know what, 343 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.360 I think we should have a private space company that 344 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.240 uses reusable rockets. Elon Musk is the guy that goes, 345 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.120 let's do it like rock and roll, you know. And 346 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.039 I'm dying to interview him, to talk to him about 347 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.320 that aspect of his personality, because if you can explain that, 348 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.000 teach it or harness it alone, you'd be the richest 349 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.960 person in the world, because that's what so many. 350 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.240 Of us lack. 351 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:13.600 Yeah, I agree, And if you look at like an 352 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.480 extreme sports guy like Travis Pastroana motocross guy doing flips 353 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.720 on dirt bikes. 354 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.519 Just that makes my son the card. I can't watch that. 355 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.519 So they've looked at him, and apparently he lacks like 356 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.240 the stimulation in the brain center that should feel fear. 357 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.240 That's why he does all this crazy stuff. But I 358 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.759 would speculate. 359 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:35.039 Maybe Elon like has that disconnect too, Like the amount 360 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.679 of risk he takes yep. And not only the failure 361 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.759 that could happen, but the guy's gone through so many 362 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.879 failures yep, which you hear about the successes. 363 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.840 JP is going to be at comedy works this weekend 364 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.519 at Landmark JP. Every at the end of every show, 365 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.600 we play this really dumb game. Can I throw you 366 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.159 on the spot and you play the game with us? 367 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.200 I love dumb game. I'm a dumb guy.

Okay, And 370 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.000 I've been playing this for twenty years, and now it's 371 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.080 time for the most siding segment on the radio of its. 372 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.279 Guide, the Word of the day, all right. 373 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.440 In this segment, we do a couple of things.
