22 Jan 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the LA fires and how do they affect the community?

101.063 - 115.175 Host

Didn't I know this about fire stations now? These niggas are eating sushi. Did not know that. I thought it was chili. You see firefighters on TV? These niggas is grilling. Bro, these motherfuckers had shrimp fried rice that they made. Like, they're in there.

So you did a ride-along last night?

120.958 - 136.247 Host

Yeah, yeah. It wasn't supposed to be. I was supposed to just go by and fucking say hello. Then shit got out of hand. With cops or firefighters? Firefighters. Just out for two fucking hours, bro. Are you serious? I'll tell you. I'm ready.

136.287 - 138.168 Bert Kreischer

Tell me. I'm ready right now. Tell me about it.

No. So I went through like the whole back and forth. So I went through the whole back and forth of whether or not to do Jimmy Kimmel. Like it was like the week after the fires. Well, not after, but... After the, when, get it under control, we are effectively fighting it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm still trying to figure it out. And I go, okay, well, Kimmel's decided not to cancel his show.

172.6 - 178.364 Bert Kreischer

Do you feel like it's like a shitty thing to go out and do, entertain on Kimmel while people are fighting fires?

178.404 - 188.511 Host

Well, it's why are you on Kimmel? What are you doing when you're on Kimmel? You're promoting something. So, of course, I'm there to... The original plan was, hey, watch my Hulu special.

189.912 - 192.034 Bert Kreischer

It does seem a little... Correct.

192.454 - 219.364 Host

Very insensitive, right? But then Kimmel decides not to cancel, and then the A guest is Snoop Dogg. Snoop doesn't cancel. And I go, I bet you Snoop has some support SoCal shit up his sleeve. So if Snoop can go on, then what can I do? How can I work? You know what I mean? I'm like, okay, well, let me just talk to firefighters. So I get to L.A. the day before. You're in New York now?

Chapter 2: What insights did Roy Wood Jr. gain from his ride-along experience?

1616.103 - 1636.233 Host

That's what I'll get on the hill and die for. Part of why the milkshake machine stayed broken is because it was a proprietary part that McDonald's franchisees had to purchase from McDonald's. So McDonald's basically sold them. You can only make milkshakes in this machine. And when it breaks down, we're going to overcharge you for the parts. And then all the franchisees were like, well, fuck it.

1636.253 - 1647.941 Host

We just won't have milkshakes. We'll do McFlurries. And so there's like some government injunction that's come in now where now they can have milkshake machines or whatever they want. But my point is the conspiracy of the shake machine is broken.

1647.961 - 1661.851 Bert Kreischer

Do you know I'm just going to use that information at the most inopportune time? Like, you know, like I just like I had a joke. I had a joke one time that I was like, I should not be allowed to talk to black people. Because I always fuck it up by trying to relate.

1662.051 - 1672.496 Bert Kreischer

And you know I'm going to be talking to some NFL guy at the fucking Super Bowl going, man, I bet you wish you could have milkshakes, huh? And he's like, huh? I was like, you know, where you grew up, you couldn't have milkshakes.

0

1673.317 - 1698.854 Host

But to be fair, nobody can have milkshakes because McDonald's is all that bullshit. I just, I don't, I just feel like. All of this shit is plausible, but just going on, that's what it is. Like, it's like with the arson, right? Where they go, oh, the fires were arson. Some of the fires were arson. Okay, probably so. But hey, man, shit's still burning. Folks evacuating. Folks need donations.

1698.914 - 1710.919 Host

So that does not change. Regardless of how you think it started, the immediate need is this. And then a day or two later, you start seeing videos of random motherfuckers getting tackled by the Samaritans.

1711.459 - 1712.379 Bert Kreischer

It's like, oh, okay.

1713.46 - 1748.52 Host

So now if someone said it's arson and we have found the arsonist, I can't just dismiss on my own bias. I can't just dismiss you going, oh, the laser company burned it all down because half of the people in that neighborhood knew about the secret meeting of the sex room, Illuminati, butt naked basketball and burn it all down. Yes. So that seems crazy, but it's like, oh man, do you think that

1750.419 - 1778.451 Host

The war on truth that we're in now is going to like fuck up history. Because I feel like now we're like, as we question everything that is happening, we have also started questioning what has happened. And it's like moon landing was one thing, and then it's, okay, well, black people had slaves, too. And those are like two historical—you just made a face. I didn't know that.
