Not, I don't wanna call myself a

2:16

carpenter, you know? Handyman is the carpenter

2:18

what chiropractor is

2:21

the surgeon. For

2:23

sure. It's good, but it's a

2:26

lesser. Yeah. Handyman, I feel like

2:28

everything you do is temporary. Yeah,

2:31

you're there with the duct tape and the

2:33

gum and you're

2:35

just gonna get it running. It's like the

transmission and the radiator so you can make

2:45

it to Vegas. And then

2:47

it'll take a shit once you get to

2:49

Vegas. Yeah. Yeah, you always got a

2:52

gas can in the back. So stand up. So

2:56

stand up. Stand up for dates.

2:59

Coming up, Oxnard, Levity Live, been

3:01

there, done that. Good place. Rooster

3:04

Teeth Feathers in Sunnyvale, California.

3:06

Cockadoodle do. That place

3:09

is figures into my

3:12

journey. Sunnyvale. Well,

3:15

Rooster Teeth Feathers. It does. Yeah.

3:17

How so? I

3:19

had no connections to

3:21

show business and I knew

3:24

nobody anywhere growing up

3:27

out here. But

3:30

the only thing I knew is my grandmother

3:33

knew the woman who managed or

3:36

ran Rooster Teeth Feathers. Heather.

3:39

Heather? I think it's probably Heather,

3:41

yeah. Is she older? Oh,

3:44

I can't say it on the air. Well, my

3:46

grandmother, the one my grandmother

3:48

hung with can't be alive

3:50

today. Oh, maybe, okay, so

3:52

yeah, no, no, she's not,

3:55

she's not. Yeah,

3:58

she's not old. Yeah, there must. Listen,

16:00

my take on that is, rah, rah, rah. I

16:02

think it will. It happened to you. What

16:05

if that happened to someone you're eating dinner

16:07

with? If you did that with Dr.

16:09

Drew, he'd go, you're getting a PET scan tomorrow, my

16:11

friend. You may have just had a small stroke. Yeah.

16:13

If you can get away with it, that's how I

16:15

would do every fight with my wife. Oh

16:17

yeah, it'd be great. Bah. I

16:21

love you. Did

16:23

you leave the fridge open? Bah. Yeah,

16:26

did you lock the door that goes to the

16:28

garage? Yes, I locked him. Bah. Bah.

16:32

He sounds, yeah, it sounds like he's over the

16:34

speech already. Like, I

16:37

mean, let me ask you this. When you get

16:39

older, do you lose your core

16:41

values? Do those go with your brain and

16:44

your age? I think,

16:47

you know, so you take

16:49

dementia, right? And you

16:51

go, I

16:54

was just watching the documentary on Gene

16:56

Wilder. Okay, does he have dementia or

16:59

is he passing on? Well, he doesn't

17:01

anymore because he was killed by dementia.

17:03

Okay. But so he's dead,

17:05

been dead for, oh God,

17:07

it's been eight years or something like that. Maybe

17:09

2016. Anyway, Gene

17:12

Wilder was a marvelous performer, you

17:14

know, marvelous, physically and

17:17

audibly, you know, singing and dancing and

17:19

Willy Wonka and all the movies and

17:21

all, just had

17:23

the physicality to do a lot

17:26

of the moves and

17:28

stuff and was verbally gifted. And he

17:30

wrote, he wrote a lot of his,

17:33

a lot of movies. You

17:35

know, Young Frankenstein was his idea and they

17:37

wrote half of it. He was a marvelous,

17:39

marvelous performer. And at

17:41

the end, he got dementia. And

17:44

you take a guy who

17:46

was that nimble physically and

17:49

in terms

17:51

of articulation. Right. And at the end,

17:53

it was just, you know, the doctor

17:55

said to him, draw

18:01

or point at, here's a clock, you

18:03

know, point at 1030. Make

18:05

it into 1030, make the clock at 1030. And

18:09

he couldn't do it. And he couldn't

18:12

believe he couldn't do it. He was like, I

18:14

can't make this clock. When you realize

18:17

that. Yeah, he was like, I'm fucking Gene

18:19

Wilder and I can't make a clock. I

18:21

can't take the small hand and the large

18:23

hand and, hold on, Byron. You

18:26

got it? You're a digital guy, right? No,

18:30

he couldn't do it. He couldn't do it. And

18:32

he couldn't believe it that he couldn't do it.

18:34

But that's when they knew like, okay, this is

18:36

not good. And then at the

18:39

end was, you know, the last, he died

18:41

at like 82, 83, somewhere in there. 83,

18:46

he died at 2016, age 83. All

18:48

right, all right. So he died at basically

18:51

Biden, Biden's sort of on

18:53

pace. You know what I mean? For the

18:55

Gene Wilder departure. And

18:57

he was like, I got this thing

19:00

and each day's a little less. And

19:02

then eventually you're in bed. But

19:06

he would like, you know, Mel Brooks would call

19:08

him and try to get

19:10

him to stuff. And he said, he was

19:13

like doing a TV. He couldn't

19:15

remember Young Frankenstein. Like he was literally

19:17

being interviewed in the, you know, when

19:19

he was 81 or something. And

19:21

it was like, duh, duh. And

19:24

everyone's like, that movie was his baby. And

19:26

he created that movie. So yes,

19:29

that's what happened. And that's what is

19:31

happening. That's what we're watching right now.

19:33

We're just all going along for the

19:35

ride with him, which we didn't go

19:38

along for the ride for Gene Wilder

19:40

because he was at, he was in

19:42

Connecticut doing

19:44

watercolors. Like he was the only one who

19:47

was just sitting in painting at his home.

19:49

So he wasn't making policy. Right. What

19:52

do you predict if he gets reelected? Like how

19:54

long does he last? Does he last the whole

19:56

term? I mean. No, no, I

19:58

think they would just. get him

20:01

to tap out immediately,

20:04

I think. This could be like a

20:06

rebuilding for the Democratic Party, where

20:08

they get those super old guy reelected,

20:11

it doesn't work out, and then they

20:13

have a young new Hawkeye. Look, we

20:15

got someone younger now because you saw

20:17

what happened last time. I think they're

20:19

gonna go full Chick-Hearns. Yeah. Are

20:22

they? Across the board. There's no

20:24

way no one knows what that reference is.

20:26

They're gonna need. You know the Chick-Hearns reference?

20:28

Chick-Hearns from. There you go. Okay. It's

20:31

an un-gittable reference. From winning time. He was

20:33

a character in winning time. Chick-Hearns. Chick-Hearns,

20:36

the voice of the Lakers, had

20:39

like an uninterrupted

20:41

50,000 games, never

20:44

missed a game. Right. And

20:46

that was his claim to fame. He'd done, I

20:50

don't know, 11,000 games, Lakers games, or

20:54

never missed a day of work. Jello

20:57

always jiggling. Really? Yep,

20:59

yep. The mustard's off the hot dog. Put

21:02

some in the popcorn machine, but blows the cha-cha. Classic

21:06

chick. Everyone thought he was a genius because he

21:08

came up with shit a nine-year-old would

21:10

come up with, but we loved it. We loved it,

21:12

put him in the popcorn machine. All right. Chick-Hearns

21:15

at the end, I think

21:18

it was at the end, he got very sick and

21:21

he couldn't call a Lakers game, but

21:23

he didn't want to interrupt his streak.

21:26

So he showed up, called

21:28

the tip off, and then they helped

21:30

him back to the hospital room or

21:32

whatever, right? That's Chick-Hearn,

21:34

but it counts. Uninterrupted.

21:38

I would argue, I don't know, you're going

21:40

against the spirit of the

21:42

record. We need a minimum word count.

21:44

But yeah, Biden may go Chick-Hearns. Go

21:47

to basically till he goes to the hospital.

21:51

Well, make it to the

21:53

end of the election, do it, and then

21:55

tap out. You think he just

21:57

wants to beat Trump, is that the idea? Well,

22:00

he's yeah, he wants to be Trump and

22:02

he's running and any Democrat, you

22:04

know, so he may go chick hurts I don't

22:06

know There's this thing about

22:08

being a two-termer for presidents. I know it's a

22:11

big deal for them They take it very personally

22:13

when they're one-termers So yeah, I could

22:15

that could probably on his mind that he's just got

22:17

to get like you said you just gotta win It's

22:19

like part legacy, but it's not really you can't

22:21

win if you don't have a plan.

22:24

So he not only has to Survive

22:27

to being elected. He has to He

22:30

has to stand up in front of people and say this

22:32

is what I plan to do for the next four years

22:34

and be full of Garbage. Yeah,

22:36

but he can also just say it's

22:38

the end of democracy and you know

22:41

agitate more black people and All

22:47

right, I did some real I

22:50

literally did gumshoeing

22:53

over the weekend. Oh nice. You know what a gumshoe

22:55

is I do it's like a detective I

22:58

didn't know there's a canadian, you know, no We

23:01

got that word too. You got gumshoes in canada All

23:04

right real gumshoe. I did some gumshoeing.

23:06

Mm-hmm. I walked all the way down

23:09

pch and uh as

23:12

I was talking about on this show uh

23:15

the other week that pch is

23:18

uh where Uh the

23:20

sushi no no boo. Sorry sushi You

23:22

are all sushi no boo is and

23:24

then directly across street is the mcdonald's.

23:27

I was at the mcdonald's yesterday on

23:29

pch. Yes Friday really?

23:31

Yeah, we have a question. All

23:33

right now and it's directly

23:35

across street from nobo Yes, I remember in

23:37

the drive-thru looking at no boo I

23:41

remember being at no boo looking at you Oh,

23:44

what a loser I

23:46

was there my kid. I'm not paying

23:48

he wanted a happy meal. Anyway, go

23:50

ahead. So It is

23:52

funny because it is literally the most

23:54

expensive restaurant in the world across the

23:56

street from the cheapest restaurant in the

23:58

world right across the And

24:01

I started noticing that the

24:03

poor people, so I come

24:06

from poor people, right? And

24:09

the poor people I come from,

24:11

I noticed were super fucking lazy,

24:14

like to blame everyone but themselves,

24:16

were kind of slovenly, and

24:18

didn't do shit for other people, but

24:21

I come from like poor people hippies.

24:23

So they were always tearing down rich

24:25

people, when really they were

24:28

the problem. My

24:31

mother would tell me all the time, the

24:33

rich people don't pay taxes. I'm like, bitch,

24:35

they pay some taxes. You don't pay shit.

24:37

Like you don't pay anything. So why are

24:40

you bitching about the people actually keeping the

24:42

lights on? But I realized what

24:45

it is is they had to go after rich people

24:48

because of their own deficits,

24:50

which is essentially, think about

24:53

this concept. Everyone in my family

24:55

is basically a loser, right? If

24:58

you live in the land of opportunity

25:00

and you're a loser, you got two

25:03

choices. You can either admit

25:05

you're a loser because you

25:07

live in the land of opportunity, or

25:09

you have to attack the land of opportunity

25:11

by saying, oh, the

25:13

playing field isn't level, it's

25:16

rich guy, white guy, who you know,

25:18

daddy's money. So you got to make

25:20

a theme for why the land of

25:22

opportunity is not the land of opportunity

25:24

because why are you languishing in the

25:26

land of opportunity? It's because you're fucking

25:28

lazy. Right. That's why. But

25:30

that doesn't make sense to them. Well,

25:33

it makes sense, but they don't really

25:35

want to... Admit it. They

25:37

don't want to internalize that. Right. Like

25:39

to deflect. They like to do a little deflecting.

25:41

So they do that. Feels better. Yeah, so anyway,

25:44

poor people are horrible. They're

25:46

horrible. They do all the crime. Who

25:48

does all the littering? Who does?

25:51

Do you think rich people litter? I've never seen

25:53

a rich guy litter. I have not found a

25:55

monocle on the sidewalk. That's right. I'm done with

25:57

this monocle. And I'm done with these spats. Yeah.

26:00

I've worn through these spats. Screw

26:02

these air pods. Yeah.

26:06

No, Rich, I

26:09

could never get all the poor Mexicans

26:11

I work in instruction with, I could never get

26:13

them to recycle. I would just tell them,

26:15

like, when you're done with the Coke can, just throw it

26:17

in the blue can. Just put in the blue one. It's

26:19

the same with it. Now, next day, it'll just be piled

26:22

in. I just go, don't do it. Just put it in

26:24

the blue can. Because they have

26:26

problems. And recycling's like, eh, that's

26:28

a first world problem. The environment's,

26:30

yeah, it's too big to fathom.

26:32

They have much more important problems.

26:35

They have real boots on the

26:37

grounds kind of problem. I've

26:39

read some more of that. Judd Apat actually posed

26:41

this question to you a while ago. Is

26:44

it possible for a generation to

26:46

truly care about a future generation?

26:49

Like recycling, like the whole microplastics

26:51

thing, can we

26:53

care about another

26:55

generation selflessly as humans? I

26:58

don't think so. We

27:01

paid a lot of lip service, but we don't

27:03

really care. That's not why

27:05

I helped the environment. I don't do it

27:07

for the future kids. I

27:10

do it mostly out of just

27:12

participation in some sort of

27:15

happy joists thing. It

27:19

sounds very wonderful, a world where there's

27:21

no garbage. So

27:23

you want to still be able to see this

27:25

world that you want to join? Yeah, they usually

27:27

make it seem really nice when the whales are

27:29

happy in the nature movies. When

27:32

they show the litter, but then they show

27:34

the cleanup crew, it kind of makes me

27:36

happy. So yeah, the green

27:38

bin gets, depending on where you are, you

27:41

put the leaves in the one. I

27:44

agree. I do all that myself. But

27:48

I started realizing that poor people were evil and

27:51

the cause of all the problems in this society.

27:54

And I don't need a lot. Listen,

27:56

I'm like a chick. if

58:00

you stepped up your lumberage size, like you

58:02

went with a, you know, maybe two by

58:05

six or four by material or something, there's

58:07

a version where you could do 24 on

58:10

center, but you'd have, it

58:12

wouldn't be two by fours. You

58:14

know, like, did he say two by

58:16

four? He said load bearing exterior. Or exterior

58:19

wall. Or an exterior structural wall. Yeah, all

58:21

right, 16 on center. There's a version you

58:23

could do 24 on center, but you would

58:25

have to engineer it and go with a

58:27

bigger. Two by six. Yeah,

58:29

or something stouter, like four by something. All right. All

58:31

right, well, the carpenter that gave us a question, he

58:33

said it was just 16 inches on center, but do

58:36

you want to give that to Kyle? Mm-mm. Okay.

58:39

No. No. Ah, nice try,

58:41

Kyle. I wouldn't live in that property. Yeah, I'd be too scary to

58:43

live in that house. All right, the

58:45

next. For an interior partition or

58:48

non-load bearing wall, how

58:50

far apart should studs be placed? Oh,

58:52

did I just step all over my

58:54

thing? All right. I

58:57

mean, I still do 16, right? You could do 24

58:59

now. You could? Oh, well,

59:01

if it's not load bearing, then who cares? That's

59:03

a good point. It's faster. Sure. And

59:06

it's less material. All right. Yeah, so

59:08

the answer is also 16 inches, but

59:10

we will accept 24 inches on center. Okay.

59:12

What do you guys say? Is he getting it? I

59:15

say no. He's

59:17

just gonna say the same thing, right? No, he's gonna

59:19

say one foot. Oh, you think

59:21

so? Yeah. Wow. Let's

59:24

see. For an interior partition. Oh, three

59:26

feet. Three feet. Or non-load bearing wall. How

59:28

far apart should studs be placed? I

59:35

see now. I probably answered that last

59:37

one incorrectly, but I

59:39

would say, yeah, three

59:42

feet. Oh,

59:44

wow. That's incredible. It's important to know how

59:46

the human mind works. By the way, he

59:49

was right there. How did you

59:51

do that? I'll tell you, listen. He

59:53

was about to go, I thought he was about to

59:55

say 24 again. Me too. I

59:57

thought he was about to study. Listen,

1:00:00

everyone study patterns,

1:00:02

study everyone's patterns.

1:00:05

I don't really have Kyle's pattern down

1:00:07

yet, but I was a perfect

1:00:10

example. I was in Vegas, talk about building,

1:00:12

right? I was in Vegas and

1:00:15

I got a couple of parcels of land, like up on

1:00:17

top of the hill, right? And

1:00:19

we're gonna meet the architect there and

1:00:22

the engineer and the

1:00:24

realtor, Trish. And

1:00:27

there's a gate code and

1:00:30

the gate opens. There's no

1:00:32

real development, but there's still a gate. And

1:00:35

then the gate opens and you drive about

1:00:37

three or 400 yards up a hill, a

1:00:39

dirt lot. There's a kind of dirt hill

1:00:41

at a certain point. And

1:00:44

it's 107 degrees outside. Sounds so

1:00:46

lovely. Sounds like you're a great friend. Nobody

1:00:48

wants to, we all

1:00:50

wanna get through the gate. Right. Right.

1:00:53

Now the gate opens and

1:00:55

you can also walk around the gate if

1:00:57

you have to, but you gotta leave your

1:00:59

car. And nobody wants to, and their dress

1:01:01

shoes and jeans walk in 107 degrees up

1:01:03

this steep incline to get three, 400

1:01:06

yards up this hill, right? So

1:01:08

we're 10 minutes late. And

1:01:10

then I say to Mike, do

1:01:12

you have the gate code? This is Mike

1:01:15

August, so I'm traveling. And we got the

1:01:17

engineer and the architect waiting outside the gate

1:01:19

with us. And he says,

1:01:21

nope, I don't got it. I

1:01:23

go, you don't got it. And I said, didn't Trish

1:01:26

the realtor send it to you? She

1:01:28

didn't send you the gate code? And he goes,

1:01:30

nope, I got nothing. And then

1:01:32

I go, well, that's weird because I

1:01:34

profiled Trish. And Trish takes care of

1:01:37

fucking business. Now, Trish is up on

1:01:39

the hill waiting for us

1:01:41

now because we're 10 minutes late. See,

1:01:44

I profiled us too. I profiled her.

1:01:47

She's up on the hill and she's waiting. We're

1:01:49

down the hill and the gate's closed. I

1:01:51

go, I don't have, do you have her number? I

1:01:53

don't have her number. She doesn't have a number. I

1:01:56

go, Mike, you gotta check. Cause, and

1:01:59

then. We start down this road. Why didn't she

1:02:01

give us the gate code? How did she expect us to

1:02:03

get up there? And I said, she's

1:02:06

a responsible person who would have done it. Well, how are

1:02:08

we supposed to get it if I don't have it? So

1:02:10

I go, okay. So you got nothing,

1:02:13

got nothing. All right, everyone get

1:02:15

out of the car, walk around, walk around, walk up

1:02:17

the fucking hill in 110 degrees. There's

1:02:19

Trish with her red

1:02:22

car parked at the top, get to the top.

1:02:24

She goes, why are you guys walking? Oh,

1:02:28

Mike. I go, because you didn't send

1:02:30

us the gate code. And she goes, I texted

1:02:32

it to Mike. And then Mike

1:02:35

goes, I didn't get it. And then I go,

1:02:37

check your phone, Mike. And Mike goes, oh yeah,

1:02:39

I got it. Oh, it's like,

1:02:42

you got to profile people. I don't know why

1:02:44

Mike decided she didn't, Mike

1:02:46

decides a lot of stuff before it happens, you

1:02:49

know? And then just like, and the more you

1:02:51

talk about, check the phone. She went, she didn't

1:02:53

give it to me. Like, I don't know why

1:02:55

people get set, but he was set. But

1:02:58

I had profiled her as a totally

1:03:00

responsible person who would have definitely given

1:03:02

us the gate code and not had

1:03:04

us sit out there. And I've

1:03:06

also profiled Mike as a guy who lets things

1:03:09

fall through the cracks. That's

1:03:11

why I said to him three times, check

1:03:13

your phone. But he decided

1:03:16

he never got it. He stood

1:03:18

behind his irresponsibility. That's right. That's

1:03:20

right. It's a lot of that.

1:03:22

A lot of standing behind your responsibility. So

1:03:24

you saw something, you saw

1:03:27

something. He said two for load bearing,

1:03:29

so he'd go three. Okay. Well,

1:03:31

so Kyle, he'd established to me,

1:03:34

he's not working in inches. He's

1:03:36

working in feet. Okay. So

1:03:38

he's not going to go 16, 18. He's

1:03:40

not going to say 24. He's not going to say 11. It's

1:03:42

all going to be feet. Okay. So that's

1:03:44

the first profile. He's a feet guy. He's

1:03:46

not an inches guy. Right. Number

1:03:49

one. Number two. He went

1:03:51

two on the load bearing. So now

1:03:53

the non-load bearing, because Kyle's also smart,

1:03:55

but he doesn't know anything about construction,

1:03:57

is he's going to add more

1:03:59

space. One more number. And since he only

1:04:01

works in feet, it's gonna be three feet,

1:04:03

which will be the next one. Three comes

1:04:05

after two. Real gumshoe over here. That's right.

1:04:07

Now the score is tied right now because

1:04:10

both of you accurately predicted that Kyle would

1:04:12

not know the answer, but Adam did say

1:04:14

three feet. For bonus points. So

1:04:16

that's pretty huge. I guess 0.5 on that. That's

1:04:20

incredible. If

1:04:22

someone on a job site asked you to

1:04:24

go get a Finch, Jesus

1:04:27

Slippers and some

1:04:29

Alabama Chrome, what

1:04:31

three items would he be expecting

1:04:34

you to come back with? So

1:04:36

some some- I don't know,

1:04:38

Gary slang. Finch, Jesus Slippers

1:04:40

and some Alabama Chrome. Oh

1:04:44

man. I don't know what any of these are.

1:04:46

You don't know these slippers? Jesus

1:04:48

Slippers, sandals. I

1:04:51

mean, is this a- I have the answers. You do? Why

1:04:54

would you go get them? Alabama

1:04:56

Chrome. Never heard that

1:04:59

one. No. Might

1:05:01

be, yeah, maybe after. Finch is a type of a

1:05:03

bird, isn't it? I have

1:05:05

no idea. So Finch is a one

1:05:07

foot extension cord. Okay.

1:05:10

Oh, see now we call that- Is this

1:05:12

a movie business? See a one, first off,

1:05:14

how low is your self-esteem that you have

1:05:16

a one foot extension cord? And by the

1:05:18

way, hot, stop. There's no such

1:05:20

thing as a one foot extension cord. There's

1:05:22

something called a pigtail. And the pigtail's an

1:05:25

adapter, which would get it from a twist

1:05:27

lock to like a three prong one that

1:05:29

would be a foot long. But we're talking

1:05:31

about adapters. There's no extension cord. Who would

1:05:34

invent- Imagine being the inventor of the one

1:05:36

foot extension cord.

1:05:39

But when you just need a foot. Yeah. Yeah,

1:05:41

like I can get to the

1:05:44

vacuum, right? Just a foot away from the door,

1:05:46

the front door, and it stops right there. I

1:05:48

know, but I still have to keep it tight.

1:05:51

So Finch is a one foot extension cord. Jesus

1:05:54

slippers. Who's calling an extension

1:05:56

cord? We'd only call it

1:05:58

Finch. Is that guy calling it? He did, yes.

1:06:01

He's saying adapter, it's a pigtail. Pigtail.

1:06:05

Show me a twist lock adapter. I'm not allowed

1:06:07

to say that in 24. And

1:06:10

I'll show you a one foot extension

1:06:12

cord. Sorry.

1:06:15

Oh yeah, it's weird. While we're looking

1:06:17

at that up, Jesus slippers are actually

1:06:19

knee pads. Oh, kind

1:06:21

of like that. Oh, because you're bowing on

1:06:23

your knees. Jesus slippers. And as

1:06:26

we saw with some pictures of a... That's

1:06:28

a twist lock with a three, and it's a

1:06:30

foot long. Is that

1:06:32

for the back of the dryer or what? Certain

1:06:37

cords, there's twist lock,

1:06:40

there's certain kinds of male

1:06:42

and female, whatever. And the twist

1:06:45

lock is a three prong. Using

1:06:47

more heavier, dutier settings, not like

1:06:49

Home Depot, not the shit you

1:06:51

do. Real stuff, you know what I

1:06:53

mean? Guys have to be good, you know? That's

1:06:56

it. 10 years from

1:06:59

now, it still needs to be working. If you

1:07:01

wanted to, like if you were

1:07:03

framing like a motherfucker and you just

1:07:05

had your framing with your

1:07:07

high puts all the time, you might put

1:07:09

a twist lock end on it so that

1:07:11

you could take a heavy duty long big

1:07:13

gauge cord, twist it off, and then go

1:07:16

climb up the rafters and move it without

1:07:18

it pulling out or whatever. See

1:07:20

what I'm saying? Yeah. So... I

1:07:22

don't use Jesus slippers either. No.

1:07:26

I never needed them so far. I'll do a little Jesus juice

1:07:28

every once in a while if I'm with a young friend, you

1:07:30

know, and I just want them to kind of loosen up a

1:07:33

little bit. What's Jesus juice? Michael

1:07:35

Jackson, I think coined the phrase. Oh,

1:07:38

okay, booze. And the Alabama chrome is...

1:07:40

If I was in Tiburon and

1:07:43

I wanted to patch up a

1:07:45

duct, I would use some Alabama chrome.

1:07:47

Oh, it's metal duct tape. It's duct

1:07:49

tape. Oh, okay. Oh,

1:07:52

duct tape. Duct tape, Alabama chrome, I like

1:07:54

that. Yeah, but that's not duct tape. That's

1:07:56

metal tape. Oh, then it's just duct tape,

1:07:58

sorry. Oh, okay. Just duck

1:08:00

dick. Okay. Alabama Chrome is

1:08:02

duck dick. Oh, Alabama Chrome. Oh, okay. So

1:08:05

we're making fun of people from Alabama.

1:08:07

Because they're not handy. You

1:08:10

know, the most insulting

1:08:12

is the porta

1:08:14

potty, as long as we're making fun

1:08:16

of cultures. The porta potty on

1:08:18

the job sites I work on had

1:08:21

a sign that said Mexican Space Shuttle. I

1:08:25

always loved it. But

1:08:28

that's kind of like what we're doing with Alabamons. Yeah.

1:08:31

Right. So let's see if Kyle knows it. I'm

1:08:33

guessing... Oh, for three. Yeah.

1:08:36

Okay. Kyle, let's get some redemption,

1:08:38

buddy. Is that some 5'10 behind him? If someone

1:08:40

on a job site asked you to go get

1:08:43

a Finch, Jesus

1:08:45

Slippers, and some

1:08:47

Alabama Chrome, what

1:08:49

three items would he be expecting

1:08:51

you to come back with? A

1:08:56

Finch? I would say that

1:08:58

that's probably some kind of hand

1:09:01

tool. He's trying. Maybe

1:09:04

it's a kind of wrench. What

1:09:06

was the other two? Jesus Slippers?

1:09:09

Jesus Slippers. Maybe

1:09:13

something to cover. Cover

1:09:17

something or cover your...maybe

1:09:19

gloves? All

1:09:21

gloves. An Alabama Chrome. An

1:09:24

Alabama Chrome. Maybe

1:09:27

a hammer. Take off your shirt. Yeah,

1:09:31

I wish each video he would have one less piece

1:09:33

of clothing. That'd be nice. All

1:09:36

right. Oh, for three? Oh, for three.

1:09:38

Let's try another one. What

1:09:41

is the framing member of a

1:09:43

roof called? Oh,

1:09:48

it's over. All right. There could

1:09:51

be a few...one of

1:09:53

these here. He's talking

1:09:55

about a rafter. You were

1:09:57

going to say Joyce. I was going to say beam. All

1:18:00

right, should we do some news? Let's

1:18:03

do some news. All right, so

1:18:05

you've talked about this before but There's

1:18:09

an update Sean Diddy Combs Returned

1:18:12

his key After

1:18:15

a request from mayor Eric Adams in

1:18:17

response to the release of a video

1:18:20

showing him attacking R&B

1:18:22

singer Cassie the mayor's

1:18:24

office said I Don't

1:18:27

what if people just had a crazy sense

1:18:29

of humor like like Politicians and

1:18:32

Trump's there a little bit but like really

1:18:34

people with power fucked up and dark like

1:18:36

if mayor Adams was like look I

1:18:38

got the key back and just in time

1:18:41

because R Kelly's gonna get paroled and

1:18:43

I need something to hand that boy I'm

1:18:49

making a joke, you know. Yeah, there's no

1:18:52

humor. There's no comedy in in

1:18:54

politics is there you got to be weird

1:18:56

and serious And yeah, oh, I mean there's

1:18:59

inadvertent comedy. Yeah, but but someone always tries

1:19:01

to take him down with it. Yeah Yeah,

1:19:04

it's got a kill so she sent the

1:19:06

he sent the key back Right. He returned

1:19:08

the key after Adam sent letters to his

1:19:10

offices in New York and California Resending

1:19:13

the key and asking for it to be sent back

1:19:15

to City Hall and they got the key last week

1:19:18

So they keep a track of all the keys. I

1:19:21

know I didn't know there there must be a master list

1:19:23

of some sort There so

1:19:25

there was video the problem

1:19:27

is is this guy P

1:19:31

did he did did his thing, you know, the

1:19:33

film came out of the hotel room and and

1:19:35

all that stuff so then

1:19:38

the next Film is him

1:19:40

driving through the streets of Manhattan with the

1:19:42

key yelling. God bless America and thanks Eric

1:19:44

Adams and all kinds of so now Eric

1:19:47

Adams is Poised to

1:19:49

do something because the guy the first videotape

1:19:51

was him beating on a woman the next

1:19:53

videotapes him going up and down Streets

1:19:56

of Manhattan holding the key and I'm the guy who

1:19:58

gave him the keys and I I have to have

1:20:00

a press conference saying I need the key back. Right.

1:20:03

Yeah. Which I would argue you don't really need

1:20:05

to do. Just change the lock. Yeah,

1:20:07

it's way. Change the lock. It's cheaper than changing all

1:20:10

the locks. Yeah. How many locks is this thing open?

1:20:12

It's skeletons and it's about two foot

1:20:14

long. So I. Oh, it's like one

1:20:16

of those big toy keys. It's

1:20:19

not an actual functional, like smaller.

1:20:22

Okay. You know, like you get made at Home

1:20:24

Depot kind of key. It's a big, it would

1:20:26

only open a church. Is it made of something

1:20:28

valuable? Like is it gold or. I

1:20:31

think there's chocolate inside. I'm

1:20:33

pretty sure I tried to buy one once. I

1:20:35

don't. You've seen one. Oh, I

1:20:37

saw the footage of a P Diddy

1:20:40

with the key, you know. So the

1:20:43

keys back. Yeah. If somebody said

1:20:45

to me, the keys, I

1:20:48

want my key back. Yeah. I'd be like, well,

1:20:50

I'll send my assistant to the trunk of my

1:20:52

car because that shit never made it into the

1:20:54

house. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's like

1:20:56

one of those. Yeah. You know, you're fucking doing

1:20:59

a show and some guys like, I made you

1:21:01

a t-shirt. You're like, Oh, awesome. You know, you

1:21:03

always take it. It

1:21:05

ends up in the trunk, you know, gets into

1:21:08

the car at some point. It just never makes

1:21:10

it out of the trunk. Yeah. You clean your

1:21:12

wheels with it. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If Diddy

1:21:14

was smart, he'd go to the Home Depot and

1:21:16

get a couple copies made. He should get some

1:21:18

copies made. That's right. That's right. Keep some copies

1:21:20

there. There was

1:21:23

a graduation in LA last

1:21:25

week. I saw it. It resulted in a brawl.

1:21:27

I heard it's because they were all vaping and

1:21:30

they're having crazy mid-says. Oh, brain poison. Yeah.

1:21:33

But you can see, so here's the video of

1:21:36

this graduation. It's called the Operation

1:21:38

Graduation Ceremony at Walt Disney Concert

1:21:41

Hall, which included over a hundred

1:21:43

high school graduates, including 29 detained

1:21:47

youth on probation. Oh,

1:21:49

what could go wrong? Well, here's the thing. So

1:21:51

we'll play the brawl in just a second, but

1:21:53

the detained youth

1:21:55

were already, they already

1:21:58

walked, and then they were put back in. a

1:24:00

piece of sidewalk covered with gum for

1:24:02

my life. Oh my god. Well,

1:24:04

gee wagons float by. So

1:24:11

there's this new phenomenon on TikTok

1:24:15

called time blindness. Well,

1:24:18

it's getting coverage on TikTok, but it's

1:24:20

mostly according to a few doctors, it's

1:24:22

a real thing. If you're constantly missing

1:24:25

deadlines, maybe picking up your

1:24:27

child up from school later or doing

1:24:29

something else while you run a bath

1:24:31

only to find it overflowing. Sort of

1:24:33

like sickle cell, but being late all

1:24:35

the time. Is it different,

1:24:37

but kind of like sickle cell?

1:24:39

Yeah. It affects certain groups. No.

1:24:42

Well, it doesn't affect the Jews.

1:24:44

Right. Well, look, there's certain diseases

1:24:48

that affect certain groups. Yeah.

1:24:51

Yeah. I have like Ashkenazi Jews get

1:24:53

this and black people get sickle cell.

1:24:55

Like there's, it can affect. I

1:24:58

get sweaty feet, sweaty feet. It's

1:25:00

part of my people. Yeah. My

1:25:02

family. Yeah. That's what I'm

1:25:05

saying. That certain groups have certain things.

1:25:07

Right. Well, here's a viral video on

1:25:09

TikTok that, um, that

1:25:11

is from a certain white

1:25:14

girl. Yeah. So it's a surprise. She's

1:25:16

fake. And what's, what's the disease called?

1:25:19

Time blindness. If you occasionally lose track

1:25:21

of time, don't necessarily have a

1:25:24

good grasp of just late everywhere. Yeah, possibly.

1:25:26

But here's a, here's your complaining about an

1:25:28

interview she had. So I'm applying to go

1:25:30

somewhere and I just wanted to know, are

1:25:32

there accommodations for people who struggle with timeliness

1:25:34

and being on time, you know, and

1:25:37

then the person I was with interrupted

1:25:39

and acted like I was asking something else. And

1:25:41

then when we were done, they

1:25:43

actually started yelling at me and saying that accommodations for

1:25:46

timeliness doesn't exist. And if you struggle with being on

1:25:48

time, you'll never be able to get a job, you

1:25:51

know, provided you're trying your absolute best

1:25:53

to be there. And then they're like,

1:25:55

your stupid generation wants to destroy the

1:25:57

workplace. And yeah, I think that

1:25:59

a cold, where workers are just cut

1:26:01

off because they struggle with being on time when

1:26:04

there's other solutions that we can look to

1:26:06

I think that just anybody who thinks it's

1:26:08

okay to just treat people like that yeah

1:26:10

that culture needs to be dismantled is she

1:26:12

in the bathroom I'm unclear

1:26:15

but so there are a lot of people

1:26:17

online seeing the time blindness is not a

1:26:19

thing and well here's the

1:26:21

thing everyone who is really

1:26:24

bad at life

1:26:27

would like a syndrome attached to her I

1:26:29

mean yeah we went

1:26:31

through this with like Epstein

1:26:34

Barr virus and chronic fatigue these

1:26:36

are just depressed people that are

1:26:38

super lazy and unmotivated

1:26:40

and so yeah it's always good

1:26:43

to ascribe a disease

1:26:46

to your sort

1:26:48

of state which is if it's

1:26:50

negative there's the negative

1:26:53

state gets something and so

1:26:55

then once we started putting

1:26:58

everyone on the spectrum and we open

1:27:00

those everyone is as for exactly everybody

1:27:02

who I close my

1:27:04

eyes when I'm trying to concentrate I'm trying

1:27:06

to listen to something I close my eyes

1:27:08

you know but it's all you have Asperger's

1:27:10

it's like and I just concentrate better well

1:27:12

then you're on the spectrum it's

1:27:14

like all right everyone's on the spectrum of

1:27:17

something this is inconsiderate

1:27:20

people yeah who are

1:27:22

unorganized in late yeah

1:27:24

and choose

1:27:27

to then say they suffer from something

1:27:29

that doesn't exist here's the experiment are

1:27:31

you ready go is everyone ready for

1:27:33

the experiment okay I

1:27:36

spoke about Gene Wilder and

1:27:38

his dementia yeah if I

1:27:40

said to Gene Wilder when he was in the

1:27:42

throes of dementia when he was like 82

1:27:45

and a half years old Gene if

1:27:47

you can get your shit together for one

1:27:50

week like don't misspeak

1:27:52

remember people's names have a

1:27:54

good recall I'll give you $100,000 cash

1:27:57

he'd go he

1:28:00

would forget the conversation

1:28:02

that we had 30 seconds earlier about

1:28:04

giving him $100,000. If

1:28:07

I said to this bitch, don't be

1:28:09

late for one week, boom,

1:28:11

syndrome out the window. Yeah,

1:28:13

I'll give you five grand. She'd stop doing

1:28:15

drugs. I'll give you five grand cash if

1:28:18

you cannot be late for the month of

1:28:20

July. You get a job, at the

1:28:22

end of July, I will give you $5,000 cash, bitch.

1:28:26

Guess who wouldn't be late? So

1:28:28

let me explain how syndromes go,

1:28:30

whether it's shingles or dementia. Someone

1:28:33

can't offer you a cash reward and

1:28:35

it immediately goes away. She would immediately

1:28:37

be cured. And so would everybody who

1:28:39

suffers from their time lapse illness, all

1:28:41

they have to do is give them

1:28:43

10 grand and it would

1:28:46

go away, which then means you could do it

1:28:48

if you wanted. So fuck right

1:28:50

off. Yeah, I really

1:28:52

doubt also any rich people have that

1:28:54

disease. No, they don't. This is poor

1:28:56

people. She's

1:28:58

a gum spitter. These

1:29:00

knuckle dragon gum spinners

1:29:03

show up and ruin

1:29:05

our society. They duke it out at

1:29:07

the Disney concert hall. Do

1:29:10

you think any of those probation graduates

1:29:12

had ever been in the Disney concert hall?

1:29:14

Like, oh, I saw a whole retrospective on

1:29:17

Tchaikovsky earlier. Come on there. I'm season ticket.

1:29:19

I saw a man on a munching here.

1:29:21

1:30:09

hope I didn't screw that up.

1:34:16

Oh, no, that was perfect. OK. How

1:34:19

did you pull that off? I'm like, I'm amazed.

1:34:21

I'm in shock. I've no one's ever done such

1:34:23

a good job. Oh, I love you. I

1:34:26

left you on Marr the other week. The

1:34:29

book, second class, How

1:34:31

the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men

1:34:33

and Women, it's available

1:34:35

wherever you find finer books. So let's

1:34:38

talk about that book.

1:34:40

I said it yesterday before I

1:34:42

knew you were going to come on and talk

1:34:44

about this subject. I said I bought

1:34:47

my first house in L.A. in 96, 97 for 350 K. And

1:34:52

I checked that house on Zillow the other day, and

1:34:54

it was two point five million dollars. And I said,

1:34:57

who the hell can afford a two point

1:34:59

five million dollar house? I mean, that's L.A.

1:35:01

But how

1:35:03

is this? Don't we want everyone to buy a

1:35:06

house first off? And how can you? I

1:35:08

know so many people live in L.A. They make 60 grand

1:35:10

a year. Houses are two and a half million

1:35:12

bucks. How's it going to work? Yeah,

1:35:15

it's such a huge problem because, of course,

1:35:17

it's like a major impediment to the American

1:35:20

dream, which, of course, we want everybody to

1:35:22

be able to achieve. One of the

1:35:24

most annoying things about it is this

1:35:26

is only a problem in blue states

1:35:28

and cities and metro areas. You could

1:35:30

be like pretty poor in West Virginia

1:35:32

and be a homeowner. But in places

1:35:34

like California and Seattle and New York

1:35:36

and New Jersey, it's basically

1:35:38

impossible to become a homeowner if you're

1:35:41

working class. And what the

1:35:43

liberals like to do in order to

1:35:45

mask their complicity in this is

1:35:47

they come up with all of this

1:35:50

discourse around, well, do people still need

1:35:52

to become homeowners? Shouldn't we become a

1:35:54

nation of renters? These people who obviously

1:35:56

live in their own homes that they

1:35:58

own, right? These very, very. wealthy,

1:36:01

come commentary of people in the

1:36:03

in the liberal media, right? They

1:36:05

like to change the discourse because,

1:36:07

of course, the reason that prices

1:36:09

are so expensive in California is

1:36:11

because rich liberals pass laws, zoning

1:36:13

laws to protect the neighborhoods that

1:36:15

they live in and protect their

1:36:17

very, very expensive properties. So it's

1:36:19

very much the fault of the

1:36:21

people who are always lecturing us

1:36:23

that they're the good guys and

1:36:25

we're the bad guys. Well,

1:36:28

also the regulatory

1:36:30

body is so powerful in

1:36:33

California as somebody who's done

1:36:35

my fair share of building

1:36:37

in California. It

1:36:39

is so difficult to

1:36:42

build and so expensive to build

1:36:44

and there's so much

1:36:46

you need to do that

1:36:48

when they talk about building units

1:36:50

for homeless people, they come in

1:36:53

about a million bucks a unit.

1:36:55

It's literally a million bucks for

1:36:57

four hundred and fifty five hundred

1:37:00

square foot unit for homeless people.

1:37:02

I mean, that's the price tag

1:37:04

for cheap mass housing. A million

1:37:07

bucks a unit. And that's because

1:37:10

then it's the same thing where they go, oh,

1:37:13

they're trying to build a bathroom at

1:37:15

a park in San Francisco and it's

1:37:17

two million dollars. It's not only two

1:37:19

million dollars, it's two years worth of

1:37:21

permits for you can do it. And

1:37:23

so what you're doing is you're saying

1:37:25

to the people that make a thousand

1:37:28

new rules every calendar year, we

1:37:31

have too much regulation and so

1:37:33

we can't build new housing here

1:37:35

because it's overregulated. And then they

1:37:37

go, well, we should do another

1:37:39

thousand regulations. And I go, no,

1:37:41

you have to repeal regulations you've

1:37:43

made. And they go, we're not

1:37:45

in the business. We're in

1:37:48

the business of making regulations. That's

1:37:50

what we're here for. Totally.

1:37:52

You've got the the NIMBY

1:37:54

movement and then the green

1:37:56

cartels. And they're in this

1:37:58

feedback loop, right. keeps making

1:38:00

building homes more and more expensive

1:38:03

because of course it puts money

1:38:05

in the pockets of the regulators

1:38:07

because they're all homeowners. And if

1:38:09

you notice you picked up on

1:38:11

something really important, which is that

1:38:14

the Democrats coalition right now is

1:38:16

a coalition of these very rich

1:38:19

overcredentialed people and then

1:38:22

the dependent poor. Right. That's who they

1:38:24

are worried about getting in homes like

1:38:26

homeless people and then rich people. Right.

1:38:29

And that leaves out the whole working

1:38:31

and middle class like you talked about people

1:38:33

who make 60000 bucks a year

1:38:35

who work so much harder than

1:38:37

any of these people who are sitting

1:38:39

there writing these regulations. And yet because

1:38:41

of these regulations and because the Democrats

1:38:43

only care now about the very poor

1:38:46

and the educated rich these people get

1:38:48

totally left out of the pie. I

1:38:51

agree. I mean I remember having

1:38:53

told the story in a million years but I'm

1:38:56

about 25 years ago. I

1:38:59

was working on my second house the

1:39:02

party house we called it and

1:39:04

I'd got myself one of those cool

1:39:08

drawer dishwasher Fisher Pike. I think it

1:39:10

was you know 1300 bucks

1:39:13

euro stainless steel back before

1:39:16

it was a thing and I was

1:39:18

looking at it and I was going to

1:39:20

install it and I was looking

1:39:23

at the pages and the

1:39:25

pages said you know page 23. You

1:39:28

can install it with an air gap breather

1:39:30

on the countertop and then they go page

1:39:32

23 B you can start do it with

1:39:34

an air gap loop or something. And I

1:39:36

was like I don't want to

1:39:38

drill a hole in my countertop and put that

1:39:40

weird snorkel. Guys remember I don't

1:39:42

think dishwashers need them anymore but there used

1:39:44

to be a weird thing called an air

1:39:47

gap. Right. And it was like a weird

1:39:49

little snorkel thing and it be on your

1:39:51

parents house if they had a dishwasher

1:39:54

none of my family did but I would see the

1:39:56

people's house and you could hear it gurgle or chirp

1:39:58

every once in a while. little water chew through

1:40:01

there. It was a sanitary thing so air

1:40:03

could come down and sewage wouldn't back up

1:40:05

into the, whatever it was. And

1:40:08

I said to the guy, the inspector

1:40:10

is doing the final. And

1:40:13

he comes in, this LA, then he goes,

1:40:15

you got no air gap on your dishwasher

1:40:17

so I can't pass your kitchen. I go,

1:40:19

there's a way to install it without the

1:40:21

air gap that the manufacturer

1:40:24

suggests. And I don't want to

1:40:26

hold my kitchen counter. So he goes, I don't

1:40:29

know about that. And then I show him the

1:40:31

actual Fisher-Piquel. And by the way, they're liable

1:40:33

for it. If they tell you to install

1:40:35

it this way, it doesn't work. And he

1:40:37

goes, let me take it to my plumbing

1:40:39

supervisor. Okay.

1:40:41

He takes it to his plumbing supervisor,

1:40:43

three days later comes back for another

1:40:45

final. Yeah, we looked at it. We

1:40:47

want the air gap. I said

1:40:49

air gap, that's from the forties. That's from the forties. This

1:40:52

is 2000. We

1:40:54

moved on. He's like, I want it. So

1:40:57

I said to him, okay. So you need

1:40:59

an air gap. He goes, yeah. I go, okay.

1:41:01

I don't want to put a hole in my counter. So come

1:41:04

back tomorrow. I

1:41:06

got down there and I took the

1:41:09

soap dispenser where there was a hole in

1:41:11

the sink for the soap dispenser, took the

1:41:13

whole goddamn thing apart, went down, bought an

1:41:15

air gap for 14 bucks, put

1:41:18

it on where the soap dispenser was, put

1:41:20

the whole thing together, hook the thing up, cut

1:41:23

my goddamn hand with the screwdriver. When I was

1:41:25

doing it, I was pissed off, put the whole

1:41:27

thing back together. Guy comes back, sees the air

1:41:29

gap. All right, you got your final. As he's

1:41:31

pulling out of his driveway, I'm undoing the air

1:41:33

gap and doing it. But I didn't have to

1:41:35

do any of it. I didn't have to do

1:41:38

any of it. They could have learned something. They

1:41:41

could have looked at the brochure and figured it out,

1:41:43

but they wouldn't do it. The whole point is he

1:41:45

didn't give a shit. A bunch of sewage spilled out

1:41:47

of your dishwasher the next day, right? Yes. He

1:41:50

wanted to, it worked fine

1:41:52

and he should have done, but this

1:41:55

is California. This is how LA works.

1:41:57

California sucks. They're the worst. So

1:42:00

they hassle everybody. And then so

1:42:02

businesses, developers and people go, nah,

1:42:04

we're not gonna build there.

1:42:07

And then they overregulate and then everything's super

1:42:09

expensive. And then they go, where's all the

1:42:11

housing? And then

1:42:13

they try to blame rich people somehow or

1:42:15

Republicans or something. No,

1:42:17

it's totally the opposite. In

1:42:20

the name of all of

1:42:22

their vanity beliefs and vanity

1:42:24

morals, they're literally impoverishing people.

1:42:26

There's a situation now in

1:42:28

California that one of the

1:42:30

environmental lawyers has called the

1:42:32

green Jim Crow because about

1:42:34

25% of black and Hispanic

1:42:36

Californians are living in energy

1:42:39

poverty. Energy is so expensive

1:42:41

due to these stupid green

1:42:43

taxes that people are paying

1:42:45

more than 25% of their

1:42:47

income in energy. And

1:42:51

this like in the name of

1:42:53

their highfalutin, we are, you know,

1:42:55

we're saving the world nonsense. They're

1:42:57

literally impoverishing their neighbors while acting

1:42:59

like they have the moral high

1:43:01

ground. It's totally disgusting. That's also,

1:43:03

I was just listening to

1:43:05

the radio on the ride ends like, oh,

1:43:07

here comes the fires. Now it's fire season.

1:43:09

Everyone's gonna catch on fire. And it's like,

1:43:12

so we have this antiquated

1:43:14

system where power lines are pulling

1:43:17

off of power poles and starting

1:43:19

forest fires, yet we're yelling at

1:43:21

everyone to get into an electric

1:43:24

car. Although we have

1:43:26

no infrastructure to support that

1:43:28

electric car. It's literally

1:43:31

an insane

1:43:33

message. You're threatening people

1:43:35

to get into an electric car, but

1:43:37

you don't have a system that'll support

1:43:40

the infrastructure to support the electric car.

1:43:42

They passed like, they

1:43:45

gave, the federal government gave whoever $200 billion

1:43:47

to do and

1:43:49

a whole nationwide electric charging, whatever,

1:43:51

they had built seven in the

1:43:55

last like three years. Like it's abysmal

1:43:57

what all the people's records are. need

1:43:59

the money for everything and that nothing

1:44:01

ever comes out the other end. And

1:44:05

what they need to learn is just get the fuck out of

1:44:07

the way. Just lower the

1:44:09

regulation a little. Let the smart guys like Elon

1:44:11

Musk do the thing. And and we'll figure it

1:44:13

out. But it's actually like

1:44:15

class warfare against working class people. So

1:44:18

what they do is they pass zoning

1:44:20

laws to where you can only build

1:44:22

single family detached homes on 78 percent

1:44:25

of the land that zone for housing. So working class

1:44:27

people can't afford it. So you

1:44:29

move them into the interior away from

1:44:31

the coast in California specifically. And

1:44:34

then once they're in there, they have to

1:44:36

spend much more money on, you know, getting,

1:44:38

you know, an air conditioning system because it's

1:44:41

so much hotter, it's 30 degrees hotter in

1:44:43

there. OK, fine. They're living in energy poverty.

1:44:45

But now they have to commute to where

1:44:47

the work is, which is back on the

1:44:49

coast. So they're in their car for an

1:44:52

hour and a half there, an hour and

1:44:54

a half back. And now you tell them

1:44:56

you can't buy a gas car anymore. And

1:44:58

you, a working class person, are going to

1:45:01

have to sit there for an hour charging

1:45:03

your car to get to work. Who's paying

1:45:05

for that time? It's really class warfare. I

1:45:07

mean, we can joke about the hypocrisy. We

1:45:10

can laugh about it. They are hypocrites. They

1:45:12

are hilarious. But it's also class warfare against

1:45:14

the hardest working Americans who we all rely

1:45:16

on to survive. We rely on their labor.

1:45:19

We rely on them sitting in those cars

1:45:21

while making their lives so much harder. The

1:45:23

elites do not know those

1:45:25

people exist. They pay them lip service.

1:45:28

It's like when Biden goes to a

1:45:30

black church and goes, come on, man.

1:45:33

No, it's like he doesn't fucking care about

1:45:35

black people, isn't hang out with black people.

1:45:37

He doesn't do anything. It's like they

1:45:39

do treat poor people like they treat black

1:45:42

people, which is they don't hang out with

1:45:44

them. They're they're never going to live in

1:45:46

their neighborhoods. They they they really don't know

1:45:48

them. I mean, I was a blue

1:45:52

collar guy for my entire beginning part of

1:45:54

my life. And that's I hung out with

1:45:56

those guys. I worked on job sites. That's

1:45:58

all I did. Those

1:46:01

people don't know you the

1:46:03

same way they don't, your Mexican

1:46:05

gardener shows up, Raul and Jose

1:46:08

push around a lawnmower for

1:46:10

an hour. They don't know

1:46:12

who they are. They don't know how

1:46:14

they live. And in a weird way,

1:46:16

there's a kind of elitism because

1:46:19

like when people aren't

1:46:21

college educated or they speak Spanish

1:46:23

or they drive a beat up

1:46:25

pickup truck, they almost just feel

1:46:27

non-human. Like we're

1:46:30

all guilty of that in the sense that

1:46:33

when you do make some money and you

1:46:35

do own a home and you do and

1:46:37

at some point the cleaning lady shows up

1:46:40

and she's just kind of wandering around doing

1:46:42

stuff, you don't

1:46:44

really think of her like you, you know

1:46:47

what I mean? And the West

1:46:49

Coast liberal elites are the worst

1:46:53

at all this stuff. And they look

1:46:55

down on people who have blue collar

1:46:57

jobs because they look at them as

1:46:59

sort of oafish and dumb. And

1:47:01

when they're talking about Walmart shoppers clinging

1:47:03

to their guns and their Bibles and

1:47:05

all that kind of stuff, that's who

1:47:07

they're talking about blue collar

1:47:10

dudes. That's all the stuff. And by the

1:47:12

way, when I

1:47:14

work with blue collar dudes, all they

1:47:17

wanted, they loved guns, they loved dirt,

1:47:20

they love quads and dirt bikes. They

1:47:23

either wanted to go to the desert or the

1:47:25

river. They want to go the

1:47:27

river with their jet ski and they wanted to go

1:47:29

to the desert on their quad. And do you think

1:47:31

Hillary Clinton's ever been on a quad or a jet

1:47:33

ski? Like these people don't live in

1:47:35

that world. They don't like that world. That's a

1:47:37

world of like chewing tobacco and

1:47:40

country music and pickup trucks that are

1:47:42

bad for the environment and quads and

1:47:44

trailers. And they want nothing to do

1:47:47

with that. And if their kids turned

1:47:49

out that way, instead of going to elite

1:47:51

Ivy league schools, they would disown them. I

1:47:55

thought you were gonna say the only thing they want to

1:47:57

do is make racist jokes, which is true, but it's true.

1:47:59

Like irrespective. of what race they are. So

1:48:01

for my book, Second Class, I traveled

1:48:03

around the country and interviewed about 100

1:48:05

working class people like of all races

1:48:08

and industries and religions. And

1:48:10

honestly, there is so little

1:48:12

that divides not just white

1:48:14

and black and Hispanic working

1:48:16

class Americans, but Republican working

1:48:18

class Americans and Democrat working

1:48:20

class Americans. They agree about

1:48:22

everything. It's just that neither

1:48:24

party is actually representing what

1:48:26

they want. So if you're

1:48:28

a working class Democrat, you

1:48:31

want much less immigration. And if

1:48:33

you're a working class Republican, you

1:48:35

want much more access to affordable

1:48:38

housing. There's like so little

1:48:40

that distinguishes these people because they just

1:48:42

wanna make an honest living. Like they

1:48:44

just wanna be left alone to make

1:48:46

their money and raise their family. And

1:48:48

if you look at something like immigration,

1:48:51

what you're saying about how people don't treat the people

1:48:53

who work for them like they're human, that's

1:48:56

why they opened the border. Is

1:48:59

because they wanted slaves in their

1:49:01

homes because it is the educated

1:49:03

elites, the over credentialed rich liberal

1:49:05

Democrats who employ these people. And

1:49:07

they don't want an American in

1:49:09

their house, cleaning their house and

1:49:11

doing their landscaping who they would have

1:49:13

to treat with respect like a human

1:49:16

being. And so they totally shipped

1:49:18

all the good working class jobs overseas.

1:49:20

Obama then defunded vocational training so people

1:49:22

couldn't become skilled trades folks and

1:49:25

earn a living that way. And

1:49:27

then they brought in millions and

1:49:29

millions of slaves basically cartel slaves

1:49:32

to compete with Americans for

1:49:34

the jobs that remained here. This whole

1:49:36

thing is class warfare against people who

1:49:38

used to be Democrats, right? And then

1:49:40

they sit there and instead of admitting

1:49:43

this, they call them racist, that's their

1:49:45

move. That is the move right there.

1:49:47

Yeah, everyone's, I mean, it's all Biden

1:49:49

does. Thank God he can't speak anymore.

1:49:51

It'll slow his race hustle down just

1:49:54

a little bit. Like what finally got

1:49:56

him to stop talking

1:49:58

race hustling. Biden. his

1:50:00

tongue gave out. He lost control

1:50:02

of his tongue about 2000. When

1:50:05

history books are written, the great uniter will

1:50:07

turn out to be the great race hustler.

1:50:09

And then he'll go, but when did he

1:50:11

stop? When did he learn the error of

1:50:13

his ways and how dangerous was to divide

1:50:15

the country along racial lines? His tongue stopped

1:50:18

talking to his brain. He

1:50:20

still tried. He didn't learn it. I mean,

1:50:23

when he was doing that Juneteenth thing, he

1:50:25

was trying as hard as he could to

1:50:27

race hustle, but his tongue wasn't cooperating. You

1:50:30

know? It's

1:50:32

so sad. It's so sad that everyone buys

1:50:34

in and goes along with this too. It's

1:50:37

a class thing. It's always a class thing.

1:50:39

I've said it a million times. They're

1:50:43

trying to break it up, but first things

1:50:45

first. It's like when he goes,

1:50:47

when Biden and I always go, this

1:50:49

disproportionately affects poor people and brown people

1:50:51

and people of color. I go, does

1:50:53

it disproportionately affect Jay-Z and Beyonce? Are

1:50:56

they in trouble with this tax hike or

1:51:00

whatever we're talking about here? It's

1:51:04

a dereliction of duty, I

1:51:07

think, when politicians essentially turn

1:51:09

everything into a race hustle.

1:51:12

It's getting people killed. It's much

1:51:15

more dangerous than, it's

1:51:17

getting cops killed. It's getting black people

1:51:19

killed. It's just getting people killed. It's

1:51:21

insane that they let them do it.

1:51:24

And also it's insane that we don't

1:51:26

talk more about housing. So

1:51:29

when you own a home, you're

1:51:33

now participating in the system. And

1:51:36

we need people to participate in the system because

1:51:39

when you're not participating in the system, then

1:51:41

you really have nothing to lose. And it's

1:51:43

sort of like homeless people can commit all

1:51:45

the crime they want because what, are they

1:51:47

gonna get their law license stripped or are

1:51:50

they gonna get a tax levy

1:51:52

or lien or is something repossessed

1:51:54

or have to go to chapter 11? It's

1:51:57

not gonna happen, right? And when you don't...

1:51:59

But it's the same way with the gangbangers

1:52:01

in the inner city. It's like there's just

1:52:03

nothing to lose You know people go oh

1:52:06

that guy shot a 14 year old boy

1:52:08

over $7 who would kill

1:52:10

somebody for it's like you would if

1:52:12

there was nothing to lose I mean just I

1:52:15

mean if you think about it We live

1:52:17

in a world where it's like our homes can

1:52:19

be repossessed our cars can be repossessed You know

1:52:21

our thing you can owe the IRS money and

1:52:24

you can get into trouble And you can be

1:52:26

real stakes if you're Wesley Snipes you can be

1:52:29

put in prison. You know for owing the government

1:52:31

money There's no debtors prison anymore,

1:52:33

so you owe me money No, no

1:52:35

problem. Oh with the government you have the government money,

1:52:37

then you will go to prison, but Homeownership

1:52:41

is buying in To

1:52:44

the system the same way when they talk about these

1:52:46

people don't have IDs You know they can't float they

1:52:48

don't have IDs well, then they're not in the system

1:52:50

They're not a part of the system you have to

1:52:52

have an ID so let's get them an

1:52:54

ID and let's get them a home

1:52:57

and let's have real conversations about that and Dawson

1:53:00

you can find a clip. There's a great clip

1:53:03

somebody sent it to me It's

1:53:06

in Seattle. I think it's one of

1:53:08

the politicians in Seattle. I think you

1:53:10

can find that he's talking about the

1:53:13

real cause of the homeless problem, but

1:53:16

We need people in homes because

1:53:19

we need them in the system.

1:53:21

We need to participate That

1:53:24

is such a smart point You

1:53:27

know when I spoke to working-class people what

1:53:29

they would say is they wanted something that

1:53:32

they could pass on to their children They

1:53:34

wanted to build equity they wanted you know

1:53:36

the independence that comes from owning a home

1:53:38

But I think the point you're making is

1:53:40

so important Which is it makes you a

1:53:42

citizen at a different level because you have

1:53:44

stakes in a community and you have something

1:53:47

to lose I just think that's really brilliant

1:53:49

I never thought of that before a

1:53:51

lot of working-class people today are actually able

1:53:54

to cover their bills But if they

1:53:56

live in blue states or metro areas

1:53:58

or cities the The

1:54:00

option of becoming a homeowner is just average. Like you

1:54:02

said, 2.5 million for this house you bought for $375,000.

1:54:06

You know, it's it's really, really

1:54:08

appalling. And when Biden opened the

1:54:10

border and allowed in, you know,

1:54:12

10 million, 15 million people

1:54:15

to compete with

1:54:17

working class people, it not only

1:54:19

stopped the wage growth that working

1:54:21

class people are experiencing after the

1:54:23

pandemic, but, you know, we're already

1:54:25

short 10 million units.

1:54:27

We have a housing crisis. We have

1:54:29

people who cannot afford to buy homes.

1:54:32

And you just increase the demand by

1:54:34

15 million. You

1:54:36

know, that's going to have a

1:54:39

huge, huge impact for generations, Adam,

1:54:41

for generations. Yeah, well,

1:54:43

Cesar Chavez, who was the labor

1:54:45

Hispanic labor leader out here in

1:54:48

California, I think

1:54:50

we arranged in the 70s. There

1:54:52

was a great boycott that my mom

1:54:54

participated in because my mom is a

1:54:57

hippie. But I was like,

1:54:59

Mom, we don't buy grapes anyway.

1:55:01

Like why? You know, we've been

1:55:03

participating in the great lobster boycott

1:55:05

from North Hollywood, California for a

1:55:07

long time now in shrimp and

1:55:09

all. And all the and and

1:55:12

filet mignon. We've been boycotting all

1:55:14

that entire childhood. But Cesar

1:55:17

Chavez is a Hispanic,

1:55:19

obviously, labor leader, and

1:55:21

he did not want

1:55:23

illegal immigrants coming to undercut

1:55:26

his guys. Who he was trying to

1:55:28

get paid. And he knew

1:55:30

this is before everyone had

1:55:32

to do a racial thing. By

1:55:35

the way, they act like, oh, well, Cesar

1:55:38

Chavez is Mexican. So he's going to love

1:55:40

it when more Mexicans show up. And now,

1:55:42

no, no, he's running a labor union and

1:55:44

they're being undercut by guys flowing in and

1:55:46

doing it for another three bucks an hour

1:55:48

cheaper than your guys are doing it. So

1:55:51

no, the

1:55:53

king of all the Hispanics, Cesar

1:55:55

Chavez, did not like Mexicans coming

1:55:57

across the border. an

1:56:00

economic thing. It's

1:56:04

a King County Council ready. Do

1:56:06

you know what the guy's name

1:56:08

is? Dow Constantine. Dow Constantine from

1:56:10

Seattle? King County, Washington, Seattle area.

1:56:13

All right. He's going to tell us. So

1:56:15

what's the blame for homelessness in a state? It's

1:56:18

during his state of the county address. All right.

1:56:20

He's going to tell us. One

1:56:23

widely held belief is

1:56:26

that behavioral health issues like untreated

1:56:28

mental health or substance use

1:56:30

disorders are root causes of

1:56:33

the homelessness crisis that we see all

1:56:35

around us. This

1:56:37

is wrong. University

1:56:40

Washington researcher Greg Holburn has shown

1:56:42

that the cause of the homelessness

1:56:45

phenomenon is not individual challenges, but

1:56:47

housing market failure. One

1:56:50

factor distinguishing places with high homelessness

1:56:52

from places with low homelessness is

1:56:55

not the prevalence of addiction or

1:56:58

untreated mental health problems or the

1:57:00

availability of public assistance or the

1:57:02

weather or even poverty. The

1:57:06

one critical difference is whether there are enough

1:57:08

housing units to match the number of

1:57:10

people who need homes. If

1:57:13

not somebody usually the

1:57:15

person with the least money or the greatest burdens

1:57:18

loses out and ends up

1:57:20

on the streets. One why you don't you

1:57:22

don't end up on the streets. You end

1:57:24

up on a sofa at a friend's house

1:57:26

until you can get your shit together. By

1:57:29

the way, if mental illness and

1:57:31

addiction aren't part of this problem,

1:57:33

how come every single homeless person

1:57:35

I see is addicted and has

1:57:37

mental illness? I've never seen

1:57:39

the person that just physically

1:57:42

doesn't have enough money. It exists and

1:57:44

look I agree. Let's get more housing,

1:57:46

but he won't let us do more

1:57:48

housing because he's a blue state and

1:57:51

they're so over-regulated that they can't initiate

1:57:53

any of this stuff. We

1:57:56

absolutely. Yeah, and they the thing is even

1:57:58

when they do get this stuff. like what

1:58:01

you started with, what they do

1:58:03

with the money is they want to build

1:58:05

like high rises for homeless people instead

1:58:08

of building more single family or

1:58:10

duplexes, right? Home starter

1:58:12

homes for working class people who

1:58:14

are working all of their energy

1:58:16

is to help the dependent poor

1:58:18

at the expense of the working

1:58:21

class. Again, it's like, it's always

1:58:23

class warfare. They hate the working

1:58:25

class. And that's where all of

1:58:27

this language about racism comes from.

1:58:29

They needed an excuse for

1:58:31

the fact that the Democrats used to

1:58:33

represent these guys and totally abandoned them.

1:58:35

So what was their excuse? They started

1:58:38

to call them racist. If you remember

1:58:40

in the 90s, like

1:58:42

you said, Cesar Chavez, it was the Democrats

1:58:44

that used to be against immigration because they

1:58:46

wanted to protect their base who was workers.

1:58:48

And then they did a 180. Now

1:58:51

they only care about the college educated and the

1:58:53

poor. And so they had to come

1:58:55

up with an excuse why these people were worth abandoning.

1:58:57

So they called them racist or like my other favorite,

1:59:00

toxic masculinity, right? Like being a man

1:59:02

is now a crime to hide the

1:59:04

fact that a man cannot support a

1:59:07

family on a single income anymore. Then,

1:59:10

and I, you know, I

1:59:12

will disagree to a

1:59:14

certain extent, which is I don't think

1:59:17

they hate the working class.

1:59:19

They look down on

1:59:21

them. They look at them

1:59:23

as lesser. Like it's a lot of, you

1:59:25

know, you didn't go to college. They

1:59:28

really, they don't think there's anything they could

1:59:30

talk about. And by the way,

1:59:32

they would have no idea how to

1:59:34

rebuild a transmission for all the T

1:59:36

in China, right? I mean, they're literally,

1:59:39

I think there's a

1:59:42

certain like subset of

1:59:44

people who are successful,

1:59:47

but sort of understand mechanics

1:59:49

and building and how to put

1:59:51

stuff together and have maybe an

1:59:53

interest in design and architecture and

1:59:55

stuff like that. And

1:59:58

so there's a little bit of an appreciation. gets

2:02:00

in again, it's gonna be another sort

2:02:02

of war on blue collar. And to

2:02:04

be, see, but

2:02:07

to be fair, I mean let's- I'm bringing

2:02:09

out the liberal in you, this is so great. Let's

2:02:11

be fair, let's be fair. They

2:02:14

treat poor people,

2:02:16

the working class, they treat

2:02:18

blue collar people when

2:02:20

it comes to Trump or whatever,

2:02:23

they treat them the same way they treat

2:02:25

black people, which is also the same way

2:02:27

they treat a dog who bites somebody, which

2:02:30

is they go, he didn't know what he

2:02:32

was doing, he was scared, he thought you

2:02:34

were hugging the owner, but he thought you

2:02:36

were attacking, he was just trying to protect,

2:02:39

he doesn't know. And

2:02:41

they would go, these people buy

2:02:43

Trump's rap, they're not educated, they

2:02:46

don't know what we know, we know, you know

2:02:48

what I mean? We voted for Hillary Clinton, we

2:02:51

know, we went to college. I had a

2:02:53

lesbian professor. Using ignorance as justification. They're

2:02:56

like, they're kinda, you know, the guy

2:02:58

works on transmissions all day and he

2:03:00

eats at a golden corral and he

2:03:03

drives a pickup truck, he listens to

2:03:05

Merle Hagger, like he doesn't know, you

2:03:07

know, it's kinda not even his fault

2:03:10

because he's duped by Trump because he's

2:03:12

such a bumpkin, he buys all the

2:03:14

stupid flag waving rhetoric and

2:03:16

all. He's, these people are too

2:03:19

dumb to not to

2:03:21

know to vote for Trump and

2:03:23

Trump's such a BS artist that

2:03:25

he just feeds him this pablum

2:03:28

and they lap it up, but

2:03:30

they don't even know any better. Yeah,

2:03:33

there is a lot of that and now

2:03:35

there's a lot of like, it's coming up

2:03:37

because now of course, the, they're, that sort

2:03:39

of sneering contempt that they had always for

2:03:41

black people where they like didn't believe that

2:03:44

they had any agency or can make any

2:03:46

decisions and their sneering contempt for the Trump

2:03:48

voter is merging because black men of course,

2:03:50

are trending hard for Trump. And so this

2:03:52

is now like blowing their minds like

2:03:55

they literally don't know what to do about this.

2:03:57

And it's so amazing to see the people who.

2:04:00

spent decades saying that criminals could not

2:04:02

be held responsible for their crimes because

2:04:04

they were people of color who of

2:04:06

course have no agency. So we have

2:04:08

to side with their with the criminal

2:04:11

over the victims, right? They spent all

2:04:13

this time like decarceration and getting people

2:04:15

out of prison and the Soros back

2:04:17

DAs, right? Trying to get people back

2:04:19

on the streets. And now the minute

2:04:22

Trump is convicted, convicted felon is like

2:04:24

the worst insult they can think of.

2:04:26

Like they just reveal the hypocrisy like

2:04:28

they cannot help themselves. Yeah.

2:04:30

Well, all the people you were

2:04:33

talking about before Trump were people

2:04:35

that were legally adjacent or

2:04:37

what was the term they had for

2:04:40

those guys? Oh yeah. Justice.

2:04:42

Justice involved. They're

2:04:45

just involved. Trump legally adjacent

2:04:48

to Trump is a felon.

2:04:51

But the poor black guy

2:04:53

that's just on his third

2:04:55

strike selling Lucy's out front

2:04:57

of the bodega. He's just

2:04:59

criminally adjacent. Oh, Dawson,

2:05:01

you knew what it was called. You

2:05:03

said it into that. You spat it

2:05:05

out. It's justice involved. I think it's

2:05:08

just justice involved. Yeah. Right. Well, they

2:05:10

should, they should be consistent and call

2:05:12

Trump justice involved. That would

2:05:14

be awesome. And of course, the irony of

2:05:16

ironies is that Joe Biden wrote the crime

2:05:18

bill and Donald Trump passed the first step

2:05:20

act, which released 5,000 black men

2:05:22

from prison. And one of them wrote an op-ed

2:05:24

for me at Newsweek and he was like, Trump's

2:05:27

one of us now. Yeah.

2:05:30

Well, when you've lost

2:05:32

the tastemakers and those are the black men,

2:05:36

it's going to be interesting. All

2:05:38

right, Batya, let me give

2:05:40

you a plug. Second class,

2:05:42

how the elites betrayed America's

2:05:44

working men and women and

2:05:46

it's available wherever you find

2:05:49

finer books. Great

2:05:51

speaking to you, my dear. Thank you

2:05:54

so much for having me. What a joy and

2:05:56

pleasure. Thank you. God bless you. God bless. And

2:05:58

whenever you're in town, come on.
