Jake, how are you?

0:01.3

I'm doing pretty good.

0:02.4

Yeah, you're having a sickening week.

0:04.7

Yeah, week and Austin.

0:05.6

The city's dope.

0:07.2

I'm doing the, doing the Austin experience. Yeah, you're doing the entire Austin experience. You did Rogan. That dropped yesterday, right? Yeah. Yeah, that was crazy. And then you did Kill Tony. Yep. Yeah, I've only been in the audience for that one, so you're already killing it.

0:21.2

Yeah, that was tough because he's so quick.

0:22.7

It's like hard to even say anything.

0:23.9

He's this go, go, go. Tony. Yep. Yeah, I've only been in the audience for that one. So you're already killing it.

0:21.2

Yeah, that was tough because he's so quick.

0:22.7

It's like hard to even say anything.

0:23.8

He's this go, go, go. But it made it easy. I just sat there and kind of watched him, set a couple words. Were any of the actual comedians good? I think like two of them. And some other ones were just terrible versus like kind of embarrassing. Yeah, see, the thing with me and going to comedy shows is like, I can't just go to one where there's like average comedians I have to go straight to like a jo rogan show yeah or I know I'm going to consistently laugh because I feel like I'm waiting for them to not be funny you're more laughing at the comedians not being good because they come up do a one minute bit and most of them just totally tank and then uh tony just rips them apart yeah that's funny i feel like i get sad for them like i want to cry i'm like oh that's so embarrassing yeah like i wanted to throw some digs in but i'm like you know what i think tony's getting them enough yeah like we were talking to our friend last night at the party we're at michael malice's house last night and my friend jo Joel was talking us about how he's doing stand-up now.

1:11.5

And I'm like, kudos to you because I'd rather fucking kill myself.

1:14.9

Yeah, I would never do stand-up. Definitely. Like I can sit here, have a conversation fine, but trying to like talk in front of a crowd or stand-up, I'm good on that. Oh, my God, yeah. But you're enjoying Austin and I'm doing my duty as an Austin.

1:27.1

I think that's the word for people who live in Austin.

1:28.8

I've only been over six months in pushing you to move here. It's not a hard sell. My J-2 coaches are already here. I already know, you know, all the cool people around town. You're going to introduce me to Alex Jones. Yeah, Alex is coming in in, I think, like, 40 minutes. Yeah, I think the only thing I haven't done now is meet Elon Musk while here. I haven't done that either yet. Yeah, Michael hung out with him a few months ago, and I remember seeing the pictures, and I was like, oh, thanks for the invite. Yeah. Yeah, but I get it. He's definitely something interesting guy. Yeah. I'm sure not as fun as hanging out to Alex Jones, but I would still love to meet him. Fun is a word for Alex Jones. It's very like, it's always an experience with Alex. And he'll be in here and who knows. I'm sure they'll be able to pick up on his voice when he's outside the studio like i'm here i'm here um so i think you would fit in so well in austin yeah because the thing about

2:23.3

here is everyone has their own shit going on and everyone's kind of like creating stuff and i feel

2:30.5

like you could move your scene here yeah it's a perfect mix between like conservative and liberal because I mean, I get lumped in

2:36.6

as conservative, but I'm not. You know, I've put most of my life in San Francisco and New York, but those cities just changed too much in a bad way. So I'm kind of in the middle. You know, I love the creativity of the liberal, the food, the, you know, that. but then i also want things to be a little cleaner a little more the liberals has gone too far the

2:52.3

woke stuff i can't deal with 100 i why do you think you get long done with being a conservative just because off a few things i was majorly majorly anti-covid lockdowns i think was a big one because you have a brain yeah that was considered like early on from the very beginning, I was super anti-lockdown.

3:08.3

I didn't really use Twitter early on though.

3:09.3

I just started using Twitter during lockdowns because I got so angry. Yeah. But from the very beginning, I was super anti-lockedown. And then the first two weeks even, that was so critical of Trump. Like, man, we should not be locking the country down. I think most people agree with me now, but at the time everyone was just so gung-ho, locked down, locked down.
