Americana and like American culture is the best. The people in like the fucking mosaic of personalities and communities we have is the best. However, we're one of the worst global presences and we have some of the most obnoxious, manipulative, rich elites of anywhere else. And they use the news machine as their like propaganda apparatus. They just pump money into it and hypnotize the public.
But what's worse now is they're figuring out how to do it with independent media and podcasting.
And you're seeing a lot of these podcasters. I'm sure you've seen this leaning into the mainstream media. And I knew that was suspicious when I saw it. It's fucking crazy. I was like, wait a second. If you're saying like, I don't want to shit on any podcast. Sure. But it's like, I'm fine with it. You're saying, you're saying, oh, fuck it.
fuck fox news yet you give joe rogan theo vaughn and jake paul a front row at the fucking inauguration yeah and the milk boys i think were there too but they got snubbed but the point is i'm saying it's like that is they used trump and those people used the podcast sphere to manipulate their way into the white house by like assuming this like oh i'm just your friend it's me trump your buddy you know and what's funny is people get like so mad i don't like any politicians
greedy rich motherfuckers would let if if we would have just finished bernie's second term yeah we would be in a much better we'd be doing fantastic and also like back to the podcaster thing i don't want to shit on them but what i'm saying is i understand the appeal of the trump's fear and like the post cancel comedy world sure because like it obviously like the language policing and just like the hyper liberalization of like comedy that you're talking about in 2016 wild made shit not funny
Shit.
Yeah, and guess who doesn't care about language? Trump. So it's like, for example, I went to Austin. I went on Shane and Matt's podcast.
Yeah, shout out to the homies. Dude, the comedians there are hilarious. I was even just seeing, I know people have their own, I know stand-up's got its own drama and class.
yeah that's what i was seeing i was seeing live stand-up and i was like wow i haven't seen funny stand-up in person in a long time yeah this is actually funny not because they're doing like offensive shit just for the sake of shock like they're not scared to make funny jokes this is tight i don't see this too much in los angeles no you know what i mean i was like it really is and like well i would say something i give credit to new york for new york new york
And didn't lean into it. I was going to tell you that is by far my favorite thing about Shane and kind of why I look up to him in certain ways.
It's because a lot of people, they go through a public controversy or a scandal and then they make their whole life this like vendetta about like, I am the underdog, the righteous one who got done wrong. I'm a free speech lion and a guardian of people being able to say retarded.
And then you have people who are like, oh, that sucked. I'm just going to keep pushing forward and just keep doing their shit.
And there's a new pipeline now that I'm not sure was as prevalent then. But if you go through a public scandal of any kind...
people the mainstream media tells you your career is over but it actually means that you get to have a second career with like the worst people ever so as soon as i remember for me like dude i was getting i can't even tell you the job offers the kid like i don't even want to say it but like okay i'm just gonna say i had info wars hit me up and be like dude you want a paid position and i was like what the fuck is going on i want to sell your frog brain fucking pills it was like a one-to-one ratio people being like you're a piece of shit and people being like bro fuck liberals come work with me and i was like
man, this is so crazy.
Absolutely. But a lot of those like free speech movements, they do harvest anger. when you're in a traumatic state. It's actually pretty similar to the whole Kelly situation.
is like for sure it's very big and i think that was why the the weed segment was particularly controversial yeah because when he went to rehab that phone call that we had the first week where he was like dude i'm realizing i had these unprocessed consecutive traumatic events that i haven't dealt with i have to apologize to bill joiner i have to get right with my family and get right with god and all this good yeah by the third week of the of the treatment he was just like dude i've realized i'm an addict
I have addiction. It wasn't me. It was the fact that I was just smoking so much. So once I find God or my higher power, as they say in this world, and I push that evil addiction to the side, I'm gonna be fine. So they externalize all accountability for their own role and shit.
And the next thing you know, they're replacing their conquest, not conquest, like their, whatever you wanna call it, their holy mission is just back, but they're just sober. And so I don't know how much of that was the facility itself. Sure. Incentivizing him to be like, you're an addict, you're broken, repent, find the higher power, you're going to be fine. Which is very AA.
And also the recovery and rehab industry is predatory.
