Well, this episode, very funny comedian Erica Rhodes back in studio, also tech war experts can tell us all about drones and the battlefields of the future. Christopher Kirchhoff is here and also Raj Shah and Jason Mayhem Miller back by popular demand on news will do all that right after this. Despite the modern myth, the ancient Olympics were far from being a pure expression of untainted athleticism. But that doesn't mean they weren't bad a*s. So allow me to take you on a little tour through the ancient Olympics. But I'll warn you. Ancient Olympian tour guides were notorious for being liars and propagator of historical myths. One Roman era site singer named Lucian once quipped quote Abolish lies from Greece and all the tour guides would die of starvation. Since no visitor wants to hear the truth, even for free and quote. If Lucian can be trusted, then even in ancient times, the history of the Olympics was riddled with mythology and fake history. So I think the only way to get a sense of those games is to dive right in to the mythology. Let's do it.

Yeah, it feels good to have a little momentum. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of weird. It could never really figure out how that works, right? Yeah, I have no idea. You, you bang around for extended periods of time. Stuff you think's going to be something is nothing. And then all of a sudden, like a couple of things come together and you're all, you're out there, man. Yeah, and it's it's weird because you try so hard sometimes. And then sometimes when you stop trying is when things happen. You know, like, I didn't know I wanted late night set for so long. And then they asked me a week before because they had a fall out and they're like, Can you come and do it now? And I was like, I don't, I don't know. Right? And then somehow I came. It came together at the last minute, but I only ran it three times. The Colbert set. Yeah, how? And it was a great set. I watched it. You did. Yeah. Thanks. It was a little dark for the crowd. Well, how does it, you know, how does the vetting work? There was very little vetting. Oh, that's nice. I submitted a tape and they were like, That's the set we want. And then I took out the jokes that I did on a duty, right? So that was kind of what lightened the set. Mm hmm. And so it was basically just most of the dark stuff. And I had I ran it a lot on the road, but I never ran it as its own unit. So that's kind of different when it's five minutes versus then. Yeah, you've done all the different jokes on the road, but you didn't do it as its own separate set. Yeah. And what is so cobas? About five minutes, right? Yeah. Five minutes and adjectives. Two, three, three. Yeah, or two and a half to three minutes. Well, as mayhem Miller will attest to, you can find out a lot about somebody in three minutes. That's true. Put him in the ring for three minutes. You'll find out alive. And Cowell says two minutes can change your life. Oh my god. Yeah. That's the can. I can't figure him out. I just wish I felt that good about myself, you know? I know he has a lot of confidence. Yes, he's very bold. Yeah. I always admired he was. I mean, I do to my set was about is like, I look at people with confidence and I'm like, Where does that? Where does it come from? Is it learning? Like, do you teach it yourself? Well, let's let's try to figure. All right. Let's try to figure out what confidence is or what we're talking about here, because I don't know. Now, one would say, to climb into the octagon now that that takes confidence, you know, and to climb into a race car or to get up on stage and do an hour of material that that takes confidence. So yeah, no, all of us in this room possess that. But is that confidence or is that competence? Because I can build houses, but that's competence. It's not really. I'm confident in my competence, but it's only because I know how to build the houses. That's what I tell people when they say comedy look so scary. I'm like, Well, anything's scary. If you don't know how to do right, right, you know. But then there's the point now. So I'm not jealous of those people. The people I'm jealous of is when you're standing in line and at like Starbucks and someone slides in front of someone and you hear that woman go, excuse you. Oh, like God, I wish I could be that. I wish I could just yell out, get the f**k behind me, but I just sit there and look down like I would go. Maybe they have an ill child. They probably didn't see me. It's just going to take guts, just arrogance. Or I don't know guns vs. confidence. I don't. I don't know where they cross, you know? Yes, it's a little stupidity. I mean, it is a little stupidity because stupid people to say s**t out loud all the time and stupid people tend to have more confidence. Yes. Oh my god, that's sitting right here. You guys can't stop talking about me. I really like, I have the opposite Starbucks problem and someone slides in front of me. Hey, but hey, bud, I have to like, pull it back so that I don't scare them. Yeah. So I don't cut back. My whole life is like now keeping a pit bull in the back of my head, like chained up, chained up. Like, keep, keep them back, keep them back, keep them back. Because then I get in a fight or something and you're fighting that Starbucks, man, you don't want those straws, you know, all over your knees. So, all right. So I can't see seize. Harder to find because I would never. I will do whatever, whenever, all the time. No, no problemo, I don't have fear. Yeah, and I will. I will do stuff and like I did a professional car race once that was in an insane car on an insane track. And I just said, I just, yeah. Sign me up, I'll show up. And then I showed up and I was like, Holy s**t, like, this is scary. But I said, I'd do it. And I got into this crazy machine that I'd never been in before on the world's on the fastest track in the West, and it was like it was kind of nuts. But I said, like, Yeah, I'll do it. And so I'm that way. Was it electric or was it like, what kind of machine? No, no, no. I guess I don't know what the machine. It's a car. Oh, it's just a car. Oh yeah. But you made it sound like like some kind of roller coaster ride. It is. It's a crazy mobile. I don't know. You can find someone to find the clip of that. See 7R vet or whatever. 20 seconds of it. You'll see what the car is. But so you you'd say you're fearless, but I'll do. I'll like, I will do that kind of stuff. I don't care. But when I remember being younger and like saying to someone, I used to work for people, you know, and I'd get like, I'd be like, be time to settle up and they'd go, All right, so it's ten bucks an hour, right? And I'd go, Yeah, how many hours did you work? I go, I work 10 hours and I go, OK, here's $60. And I'd go, Oh. OK. And I would just walk away, I would I wouldn't even I wouldn't even say anything because I'm I too scared or my self-esteem was do whatever show there was something I have voids or blind spots are missing, missing stuff. I am like, like, I was thinking, you know, this year, you know, I've been single for a while. So I was like, This year I'm going to I'm going to give my number to guys. You know, like I said, I'm going to do a new thing, right? So I did it once, and he didn't call me and I was like, I'm never to. That was enough rejection for me for an entire year was that Simon Cowell, my father, like our French bartender. Was like a cute French, are you? Maybe he was gay. He might have been gay. Yeah, he might have been gay. Wasn't that? He was maybe taken. Wasn't that? Wasn't that French guy's dick knocked the pole vault off, was it? I thought this guy was American. Is he also a bartender? That guy was French. I think. So where was this guy bartending? It was like somewhere downtown. It was kind of it was a fancy restaurant and there happened to be a show underneath. It was like there was a comedy show, but the comedy show was taking forever. So I went to have a drink upstairs and I just sat there alone and he was really friendly and we talked. And then I was like, You know what? I'm going to do something I never deal. And I put my number on the receipt and I gave it to him and I, and then I waited and nothing. Yeah. Did he know it? Yes, I know. I know. You got to like directly. Come on. I mean, if you look at the tip and then underneath, there's a number and a number is a phone number. Don't you think you would have seen it? I'm trying. I'm looking for I'm looking to salvage a little dignity. I'm trying to find it easy out here. He just filed those and then the manager came back later on. Erica, I guess when I think I'm being really bold, I'm actually being really subtle. Yeah, I was going to say that's very bold, that I was crazy, you know? Whoa, I've never done this before, since I was in fifth grade, so never again. So what you're saying? What was this guy? Have an accent? Yeah. Yeah, he had a French accent. And how old do you think he was? He's probably like 40. He's 40. And he's a bartender, though. I mean, he's nice looking, but that's not career oriented. That's true. Yeah. Maybe I was being kind of superficial. I was like, cute French bar. Yeah, yeah. The bartenders can be sexy because they're in charge of their, you know, their realm. You know, so you're like, Ooh, they're in charge. I think I think what makes bartenders sexy for women is bars have like 13 people at it. And then there's one guy and he looks up. Yeah. Six. Yeah. Because you don't have a bakery. No, there's no line. The guy just serves surveys and you're like, Oh yeah, we Frenchie, please me in the go. What do you need? And he goes, Oh, he thinks I'm better than these other people. He picked me over the other people. So at set the bar. It was just me. Oh, just you. And but but he did the right amount of ignoring me. You know, like, you walked away. He was, yeah. And I was kind of like a lonely kind of writing my notebook and. And then he came back. Oh, what do you do? You know, what do you do? What are you up to? You told him and laughed again. Them the comedy thing? Yeah, I said. I said, I'm going to do comedy. But he didn't ask too many annoying questions. He wasn't like, Oh, he was just like, Oh, OK. Like, he was cool. Hmm. Which aloof? Yeah, he was a little aloof from the plane, wolf. Probably his name. I don't remember his name. No, I'm saying, Oh, f**k yeah, I'm about five so far. We got me. Now what we need? Sorry on that scene. Seven hours me crawling into it and firing it up. And that's the scary. That's the scary part of that. That equation. Yeah, you'll see why we call it a machine. It's like, I I don't know. Well, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know any women who do. But the ones who do know cars real well, I don't like them. Oh, really? Yeah. Comes with other for like when women are into sports. Is that a little weird? Or do you like that? I mean, I, you know, you always try to you think about, well, wouldn't it be great if your woman was really into all the same s**t you're into? But then I don't know. I'd be careful what you wish for. You know what I mean? Guys, it's like guys who golf with their wife, like they invented golf, so you could get away from your wife, drink beers and talk s**t about your wife. But you actually had an activity to justify. But the ones you wife like the golf now? Oh yeah, now there's no way there's no escape. Start knitting. That's right. And find some activity co. knit. So this guy probably had a girlfriend. Yeah, maybe it was married. I didn't really look at his fingers, but maybe he was married. Mm hmm. I don't know. But I admired men more after this because I was like, Man, I have to put themselves out so much more than women. You know, to to let women know they like them. And I was like, That takes a lot of confidence for men to ask women out. That's a I don't know. I admired once I did it, once I was like, Whoa, how do they do this all the time? I think when I, I have a vague recollection of when I used to teach comedy, traffic school and and and there would be, I think I'd get up. I hand out the certificate. Or whatever, and then at the end, I think there was a comments page or something and there was a really cute chick in the class, and she made some comment and like, put her phone number next to it. So I called her and then she pretended like she never, never did. It was. It was weird. So weird. Yeah. Did she change her mind? I I. It's so weird. That's a boy. I've had it happen once. You tell me I took a Groundlings improv cla*s. It was like the Groundlings classes were sometimes like a year and a half in between basic and intermediate or intermediate writing lab or whatever, and these big, long periods of time. Mm-Hmm. And so, so in between, they would offer you you can go to Mindy Sterling's class in the basement of the church with the big gay ribbon on the side of it on Highland, you know, meets on Saturdays and you can go for free. Oh, wow. Yeah, because they're kind of they're kind of. Thoughtful enough to go. Look, we understand it's going to take a year and a half in between classes. Well, we'll throw you a bone. You can go take these other classes at the Coronet Theatre or whatever on Thursday night, and you just do it for free. Oh, wow. And I was poor and I wanted to learn s**t, so I would always do it, you know? And there was a really cute chick in that class, and she was super friendly and flirty and in everything else and. She's really hot. And I was, you know, I was driving a truck and swinging a hammer, but I was the funniest guy in the class, so she kind of, you know, took notice. Yeah, and and she was a big flirt the whole time, like super flirty. And I know her name. I got I got to think who she was. She was an actress. She did stuff, and she was also married to a guy who was a quasi famous actor. Was she married at that time or no? Yeah. Well, at the end of the last class, they're like walking out to the parking lot. And I just like I said to her, like, Hey, you know, it's like you look at me, I'm looking at you, you know, maybe we would get some lunch or something. That the exact line? Yeah. I said, Look, I'm funny. You're hot. You know, that's a pretty good combo right there. You know, you like golf. We can have kids that might be funny and might be hot. I don't know. Or we could or could be snake eyes, you know? Yes. And each other. Yeah. And yeah, yeah. Yeah. So she she kind of looked at me and and and I said, Well, it's our last class, you know? And she just went. It was fun flirting with you, but I'm married and I realize like, Oh, she just wanted the f**king attention. Yeah, she just like she liked the idea of showing up every week and seeing the funny guy in the class sitting there kind of looking at her not looking like at it. It's weird to admit I've been flirting with you this whole time. But it meant nothing. I just cut out for acknowledging it because that's a good thing. And we are like, as if she was kind of being manipulative on purpose a little. Oh God, how do we figure out who she is? OK. You're going to have to do. She's done, and she's still working there. I doubt it because she was a very good looking female who's got to be 60 years old now and wasn't, you know, particularly funny. So she was like an actress and probably not tons of roles for her. She probably just had she probably had kids and then not with me. Yeah, I got. All right. Let's try to figure this one out. Why? Let's narrow it down. She blonde now. Was she tall? f**king hate blondes, man. They're all w***es. Yeah. All of them. Every last one of them. Second, that notion. And I think her name was Stacy for some reason. I don't know. Stacy, it sounds right. People used to be named Stacy. I knew a lot of Stacy's back then, and her husband was a working. Actor who was on lots of like 80s and 90s shows and series and movies and stuff too, but he wasn't a list, he was just a working TV actor. I feel like we're not going be fine. We're going to fine and we're going to find him famous. We're going to find him, Stacy. No, that's not going to be enough. No doubt has been. Would have done a series like on in the 90s or something like Lonesome Dove or something like that. And when you ask, it's like a Western or something. All right, we got me getting into the machine. Sorry, if you want to know if you just really want to know what this is, what this car looks like, be funny. If it was like a really famous. Oh yeah. See, it's a machine. Look at the monster engine. Oh, my goodness. Oh, that looks cool. Yeah, I was scared. I I signed up for something that I had no business. Did you wear it? Do you see me? Do you see my scalp? That's him. That was you. Oh, that's the point of this extraction. I didn't see if you were wearing, Oh, you are in a helmet. It's hard because I could tell if you were. That was you. It's red, white and blue. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they don't let you not wear a helmet and so close to the ground. They don't let you not wear fires in that area. We're not even going, Yeah, we were in the beginning Gavin and heard it. But when it gets going, you can, you can hear and. Now, fast forward about 30 seconds, and we'll listen to it open up, I think maybe a minute. Whoa. And there's a car right in front of you. They're not. We're not racing yet. OK. That scares me. I was like my Lyft driver the other day. Nice. Yeah, that's wild, but see, I don't know, we're talking about confidence. And the reason you could get in there and do that is like incremental improvement. You've already played with Card. Yeah. Now you're doing the same thing with you and your comedy you like, start off and open mikes, do slowly and build up. And then I don't think you could get to this level of doing great cars. You can't dive into the deep. You have to kind of start with the smaller stuff and build your way up into the scarier stuff like like this, this car, which was a monster. Yeah, you just roll off the road. If you if you give it too much gas, you just go sliding off the edge of the Earth. I'm talking about the cars in front of you. Like, I'm more scared of you hitting a car than brothers did it. There's there's that. There's that too. Wow. Oh my god. All right, so who is in the cast of Lonesome Dove from, like, you know, 1989 or or something I'll think of there's it's an actor and you've probably heard the name. Oh gosh, just does. Now we have written about Lonesome Dove. You realize he was in Lonesome Dove. I got I got a vague recollection. Steve Buscemi. This is the worst game of guess Tommy Lee Jones, not narrow. Ricky Schroder, Diane Lane, Chris Cooper, Robert Urich, Ricky Schroder. Oh, how dare you pronounce Robert? All right, you're Bob. You're that's f**king Vegas. All right. All right. All right. I got Bruce. I got Bruce in my head. Oh, Bruce, there's Dino Bruce in this room. Are you sure it's not like a Lonesome Dove knockoff? Like, there's a guy about another version, Lonesome Pier, Jim Crow. These all look like super famous actor Robert Duvall. Jesus. All right. Did he have a day part? Maybe. Maybe he was. He was an accomplished actor. Maybe not. Maybe in some other western from the 80s or 90s. Yeah, it has to be. Mm hmm. Sam Sam, what's his name for hunting this guy down just because his wife flirted with you in 1989? I know, but I want it. It's it's going to bother me. Yeah, it already is. But women, I'm already bothered. You're right. Bruce Somethin mouths the name as well. I'm Ken Doss. One of the actors names is Barry Tubb. Oh, kind of. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I said, Bruce, but I may mean Barry Barry hot tub. No, Barry. There's another Barry in Lonesome Dove. There's another Barry, not Barry tub. I said, Bruce, I think I mean, Barry, Barry Bostwick. Pitch is gone. Barry f**kin Bostwick b***hes go look up his wife Barry. g*****n Bostwick has a good head of hair. Oh, it's OK. I mean, fine if you like that kind of thing. No, I'm sorry, I snapped. Yeah, I know this is triggering. Yes. Wait, is her name still thin? I see now that I don't know what her last. She looks like she's not doing great. Very blonde. All right. But hot 80s chick. I know. So Barry Bostwick, what was his series then? What I said? Lonesome Dove. But I mean, he's done a million check. But what was his series? What was he another Western thing? Yeah, I. Did Adam Driver stay? Could have broken up? I never. They're still together. They never recovered. Barry Bostwick was in while he wasn't a lot. I told you, Wow. Yeah, he was in a lot of stuff. Spin City. My gosh, that was the big show. Hmm. But I'm more curious what she was in. All right. Well, with Stacy and got married. I had it bad for her. She, like, she looks cool. Oh yeah, she's really pretty. She was like, really 80s hot s**t that like, she's got that love certain looks lend themselves that era to the eighties or the 70s or the 40s like. But but they don't all work era y. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think I should have been born in the 60s. I would have done better. Yeah, you had a good French guy. I would have called you back in 1965. Blondes were more in back then, did we? What was their biggest Spacey's biggest film, Bullets over Broadway? That Woody Allen? That's Woody Allen. But she must have been like cigarette girl number three. Or, Oh, really? She might have had a bigger purse. She may have had a bigger part, Stacey, but now. Now, that's an old I mean, sorry. A picture, a more recent picture of her. I don't know. I think they should put the picture in the IMDb of when the movie was made. What you look like when you made the movie, then you know, it looks like she's still working. Maybe. Yeah. Well, she has a short haircut now. She's still married to Barry Bostwick. Can't I cannot. She's still alive. I don't know. We're going to we're going to settle all these questions, but but I I was smitten by her and at that Groundlings improv class in nineteen eighty eighty seven or something like a long, long time ago, she have that hair that was like really poofy. Oh yeah, she had good 80s poofy hair. She had a real hot body and she was real pretty. And but she's married to Barry Bostwick, married to him from 87 to 91. You may have ended this marriage. I got, oh my gosh. It ended. Well, she was a flirt. Yeah. You met her. See, the timing was off. Mm. Relationships are all about timing. Yeah. Yeah, my timing. My timing was off. So, and Barry, is Barry still working? Is everyone? Am I still working? I don't even know what I'm doing in this equation. If this had been, if this had occurred during social media days, you could have kept track of when her relationship was crumbling and then slipped into her DMs at the appropriate time. You're so right, right? But because you guys didn't have social media back then, it ruined your chances. I wasn't doing jack. Squat in 91 was the problem, either. But, you know, she was like a working actress and he was a working actor. And she may have liked me some, but she wasn't going to put up with my driving a pickup truck with a lumber rack. Yeah. You know, I drove like your cute, but call me in 25 years. Call me when you have a car that has two separate seats, not one that bench with no. They'll call me when you get a headrest in your in your vehicle, not just one bench with no headrest. Oh my gosh, is that what you were driving for a while? I had to drive a truck for my living, you know. Oh, for your living, OK? Yeah, yeah, I had to drive a truck and I didn't. I couldn't afford a second car. So it was a lot of oh, picking up chicks on dates with a truck that had I had a lumber rack on it to the rack on the top and I had a bed box in the back too. So pulling up in like really utility truck, you know, if do you feel like women lost interest if they saw that or did they judge you on that? Or it wasn't a panty dropper? I think there was probably some judgment going on. Yeah, I think that, you know, bringing them home to an apartment. We have three roommates, you know, stuff like, can I interest you in some tap water and top ramen? You know, I'm back to my iPad. I got it. I got half the food to have a bed. Well, I I shared a futon with another guy, so we both feel the same futon and that lasted for a while. Oh my god. At this point, I was probably in a maybe a rented house like a miniature house in the valley with like three other guys like it would. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't attractive to, yeah, women. There's a guy in the bed with you. It's the futon. Yeah. Sorry. Bed sounds gay. Yeah. Futon more. That's cool. Yeah, that's cool. No. Yeah, that sounds utilitarian. Whereas bed sounds like, you know, I solo I lived in this apartment where I had to have a sheet in front of the bed because my I had two roommates and the bathroom was off of my bed. And I remember I brought a guy home once and it was like, That was bad. Yeah, it's like there's like a sheet hanging in front and I'm like, Yeah, it's just because if people walk through my room, yeah, privacy. And I just remember being very ashamed. Yeah, it's shaming. I had I had bunk. I graduated to bunk beds in the same room, which is another weird because it was my friend's little brother's bunk bed. Oh my god. Yeah, she cool because she brought home a Jewish guy who could have sex there. But I was show, I think the wrap on me. I think that deal with me is I was funny and some people like me, I was good looking and fit, even though I didn't think I was, but I was. All I did was work on my, you know, build houses all day and I was like funny and could do stuff and everything. But I didn't have any money and I had to drive this pickup truck everywhere so I could kind of meet the girls. But, you know, didn't I didn't seem like a long term plan right for them. I feel like that is a lot of that is the motivating factor for a lot of men in making money. Oh yeah. To get women, and it's not even it's to at least feel more confident about getting women. It's not like they're gold diggers. It's just. Sort of like security. Yeah, this guy doesn't look like he's ever going to own a home. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, I I I drove a truck and it had that fuel cut off. Switch on it under the seat. Flip it down and stuff. It was it was. No, it wasn't good. But you know, it worked out once in a while. Yeah, a friend or two, they'll get a girl. Yeah. Being funny. Yeah. Just yeah, just being funny. Or they had low self-esteem or something. I never I never knew. I never knew what it was. But I did. I did have a thing once where. Because, you know, I figured I was a loser, and, you know, if you were to say to me, like, how would you do with the latest outcome of an ad or a Disney, whatever? But there were one time when I was at the Acme Theater and these two models who were friends showed up to like, hang out or something. And and at some point I ended up dating both of them at some point. And sometimes you have to look back and go, well, if you're able to pull that off, I mean, you had to be able to do something they know about you dating the other one or one one of them. One of them, I don't I don't know what hap-. She was really hot. Her name was Beth Einhorn. No, not Beth Einhorn. Beth Teagarden. Beth Einhorn was the other rector from the From the man show. Oh no, she was. Shelley was her name. I believe you remember all these guys was not like juggling, you know? Yeah, yeah. They left an impression. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they they did. And then I, you know it just I. Here's my whole thing. I would try to go over my head. Right. And and I would go. And if you go over your head, it'll last for a little while, but eventually you're out of your league. So they catch on, right? You know, and so that's that's what happened. Because no matter what I had going on, I was still poor, like first and foremost, just poor. So they'd expect you to take them out and spend money on them and then they lose interest. Or you just I, you know, it's like I I was, you know, I was driving the truck. It wasn't a particularly nice shirt who was a mini truck. You know, it's truck keeps getting sad. Yeah. I had, you know, rented house with a bunch of roommate dudes, and it's not sustainable. It didn't feel like a big picture kind of situation, you know, plus I was like talking about doing comedy, but had been like eight years and nothing had happened and no money or career, you know, nothing pop. There's no. I was teaching Comedy Traffic School. You know, I didn't have like, Oh, come see my shows tonight at the improv I saw about two shows Saturday night, like, there wasn't any of that. It was like no money in the comedy department. No success in the comedy department. And then the pickup truck. At least you knew they liked you for you back then. Yeah, but my goal? It's an innocent time when you're like, Oh, she still wants. She likes me. They just like you. Yeah, but my or I still think you tricked Jason. Do you mean I never needed to be like for me? I never thought that was. I never like that, really. You know, you likes to know, and people would say to me all the time like, Oh, you know, this girl was only talking to you because you're on MTV. And I go, That's why I got on MTV. That's why I wanted to do this. Not like you. It's not like you changed. It's just that. Yeah. Well, because like, being successful is part of who you are. Right? So even, you know, I think that like when you're trying to build up something and you're having the truck and you're like trying to like build up, some women will notice and catch on to that and like grab a hold and realize that, oh, this guy's going up. But then when you get up there, then you have a big you have more of a silly crazy woman who been up there in the ocean of gold digging and of, I'm going to get all this guy's money. And, you know, I've seen that. Do you think guys can tell if you're just if that's all a woman's after is if they're just like a gold digger, can't you tell? I can. Oh, you can't. I'm dying. Yeah, me too. But once you get up there, you lose your body. Take it. Yeah, I never I never break it down. I just really, I want to be with you. Or they don't. They don't want to be with you. They're good luck and they have options, you know, that makes sense. Now, Barry Bostwick, Rick's latest role was from 2023. Did he remarry? Is he an outlaw, Johnny Black? I don't know. I mean. Oh, he was an outlaw, generally black. Oh, OK. Barry Bonds. Oh, he's even on the probably the best guy. Barry Bostwick IMDb must just be 200 projects, right? I mean, hasn't stopped working fine, you know? 83. How old is he now? Like 80 now? I don't think so. Younger, younger because he couldn't have been that much older than Stacey. He looks like he has an age. He looks the same in this photo. He must have just done every film. I can't believe I pull this name out, but you know, the crazy thing is dos I was on Bruce and Dawson got me to Barry because he randomly picked out another guy named Barry. But not Barry wasn't random. There was no Bruce in the cast, but there was a Barry. Oh, maybe two. But there are two Barry's, huh? Well, he picked out another Barry. Yeah, my tub. Who's who's vaguely familiar? Yeah, I was right back in the day. Probably. Yeah. Very good. I mean, it's Barry Bostwick. Just not. This hasn't stopped working 40 years. That basically his thing seems to be like a decade break. Does he always do West St. Louis seems to be worth. Well, Western now in order, yeah, pretty much, I guess, since the Rocky Horror Picture Show, he's been working. Oh, that's impressive. That's that's a pretty good project to have, though nonstop work since 1975. Wow. That's wow. That's a miracle. I know it was in weekend at Bernie's to help. Wow. Am I the only one who's in this building that's heard of Barry Bostwick? I know. We all know about him now. I saw him in the picture. You did. Yeah, I recognized him. Maybe you're confusing him with Michael McDonald, the Doobie Brothers. Do they look the same? They do. They do. Mm hmm. I don't know him, though. He's seventy nine years old. OK. Oh, so I was close at 80. You're on. You're right. He was. He was quite a bit older than Stacey. I guess the first movie was in 71. So it's basically talking about 53 years of uninterrupted work. He was also on weekend at Bernie's one. Oh, what? Oh wow. Yeah, but everyone knows two is the better, you know? Yeah. All right. So that's Barry Bonds for Kyle. You heard of Barry Bostwick. Yeah, of course. See, I know what everyone knows. Yeah, I know. Who knows what. Who knows what? He's up. I can't say he's a famous actor, but he's an actor who's had uninterrupted 50 years of of acting. And he has alliteration. Barry Bostwick, which it's always easier. It's always easier when there's alliteration there. But he probably is famous just with people that watch his stuff. Now you think he's not? Know, not me. I can't figure out how people know and what they don't know wise. Yeah. All right. He's a real player. We just got his new gown. What are they going? Stronger lives in the twenty thirty four years. Those are the only ones he married. Look at him. He's got the player energy. Oh yeah. When are you going back to America's Got Talent? I can't say when, but I'm I am doing the live shows. So they picked forty four acts from the first round. Oh yeah, I'm back, I'm going back, I'm doing the lives and where they do the live show. I actually. Good question. We did it in Pasadena. I wonder if it's the same theater that we did it in before. I don't actually know if it's the same. And you got to come up with a fresh, clean three minutes. Yeah, I'm mining my some of my old jokes, right? Yeah, because my new stuff is edgier and edgier. So can't do that. You weren't doing any Barry Bostwick stuff at all or just keeping it down the middle? Oh, like not the whole set, but like a couple of them. Just, you know, I'm not saying the entire set, but I'll bring it up. Say like a couple. Something about structure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. A couple. Because it's so topical. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's what I think. That's what I'm saying. Everyone wants a Barry Bostic joke. He's been married since ninety four. And so the same woman, so I'm not blaming. I think this one's on Stacy because he broke up with her and then stayed. There has been married for 40 years now or 30 years, really? So maybe she was a real slut. All that flirting, we finally got wind of it. Oh, all those improv classes, yeah, yeah. I've heard I've heard that Groundlings does break up relationships. Oh, really? I've heard. Oh, really? That would make sense because it's time consuming. They're they're alive all day. Spent a lot of time. It's a little intimate. You kind of learn about the people you're working together on stuff. You're creating something together. It's like a film set. Maybe. Yeah. Mm hmm. Makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably. Why I blew Paul Reubens checks out because I was like, I'm not, you know, I'm gay and I'm like, Yeah, but it's all the time, you know? All right now what Stacey do doing then as she acting to breaking up marriages last and wrecking homes? Yeah. Adam, we got to talk about your hypervigilance. Man is becoming a thing now. Why are we here fixated on Stacey right now? I don't know. Nice if a guy remembers the women I know or not even been with. And if I were her, we're like putting a lot of effort into therapy today. Maybe men remember than women who don't sleep with them. Yeah. This is a woman I was rejected by. Oh, right. It's like that left mayhem. You remember the losses, not the win, right? All good guys. You know, all the law there. Remember all the losses and none of the victories for me. They've been worse than men. Remember the women they wish they'd been won? I'll tell you the truth. It's it's a double edged sword, though. Are you remember him wins? Do you do? I got, you know, there's a study and it's an interesting study, and I just heard it on the radio. I don't know how whatever, but, but I can tell you through experience is true. Silver medallists are more disappointed than bronze medallists. Well, because they're closer to the win, right? They felt like they could have got the gold they saw in bronze are happier because they're on the podium, and they didn't know that they're on the podium, losing closer to not having anything. And there's eight other people who aren't getting on the podium. And as I think about it, when I was, I heard this. I thought of that race in that car. I showed you. I came in third place and I was so f**king happy about coming in third place because I got to go on to the podium and spray the champagne. Only three cars. And yeah, there should be one of them broke down, but he still finished ahead of me. Is coasting? How dare you? I didn't see a lot of cars. Stacy's last film was from Jericho 2020. My gosh, Stacy, girl, she said. All right, the schedule is like a half. I'm going to go find her and take her down for you. She said she might be single now. I mean, like, literally take her down in my truck to my house. And you got the truck had on this rack, which the rack bed box? Yeah, I know I had the bed box, yet I'm working on work on that bed box. You got to earn that. All right. We'll take a break. M&M's got some news and we'll do that right after this.

But he was successful, and I think at first that sounds fine, you know, to date, a successful guy like a guy with money. The problem is I found out they don't always give you the money, right? Sometimes they just talk about having the money and you're like, Can I have some? And they're like, no, but you can watch me have it. And he would show me things he had like one time he show me a house he had in the woods and he did a big gesture like, look at my house and I was like, Oh, huh? And he's like, Wow, I thought you'd have a bigger reaction. And I was like, Are you giving me the house? All reactive, you're giving me the house, but I can look at houses that are mine all day long. I can google the mansion section and be like, Oh, look at all the. What is that are mine? Going to have a reaction, if you want a reaction, give me a house, I'll react however you want. Eric Rhodes is on the Adam Carolla show, so we don't know we can't say when the next taping is, but you've made the cut. Yes. How many comedians are in that cut? How many? Forty four. Oh, it's 44 comedians, I tell you. Sorry, no till to say No, it's not. That's a f**king comedian. Last comic standing. No, no. Yeah. It's only. Yeah, it's it's. Is this a joke? Oh, you and some other comedians? Yeah, it's me and this guy. Learn more Who won the gold buzzer? So gold bug? Yeah, he got the golden buzzer. So he he got direct to the lives, and then I just got all yeses. Uh. Yeah. Golden buzzers where they stop you. They did. He had the gold stuff flies down now. Stop you in the middle. They just they're like, You're so amazing that you're getting the gold flakes. Hmm. Should we watch his gonna see? What are they doing? I don't trust this guy. Yeah, I don't know this funny issue. That's not how much Bostwick humor she's doing in there. And it's very little work. 20 percent. 40 percent is very high energy. I'm a little bit more subdued. I'm not high energy, so well, I want to see this guy's set. I'm not going to compete with him because we're very late. You're on your show to compete with him, right? Well, not in the eye. We might not be in the same group for the live show, but eventually, but eventually we yeah, you're going to if I move to the next round, but we don't, I think you will. It depends how good my next set is. You? I forgot. Did you not? Somebody forgot to bring this up? Or maybe, no. No, I don't think it was. Yes, it's on my page. I was thinking about you and Prairie Home Companion, and I was thinking about Garrison Keillor and I played his theater or the Garrison Keillor theater. And then I was like, That guy got me too. But I don't know what he did. Yeah, it's a little bit confusing because he didn't really do anything right. I mean, he was accused of something, but it's yeah, it's a very complicated. And then there's John Lasseter. I was talking to these guys. I don't know if you have any of that anywhere, Joe, but we were talking yesterday about prepping for today and I was going. Who are these people where it's like John Lasseter? I don't know. He ran Pixar. Oh, made them $10 million. And then at some point he was out and they're like, Why is John Lasseter out? Like at the Christmas party? He got a little huggy or something, and I was like, I don't know what that means. What? What does this mean? What did he do? And they're like, I don't know. We don't know. But it's enough. And it's like, You know, I don't. What do you mean? And what's he doing? He would go to a Christmas party and he'd have a few drinks, and it was just a little too friendly. But I was like, It doesn't sound like he's doing anything like. We did. We gave a severance. He's gone now, and it's like, I don't know what that means. And I heard the same about Garrison Keillor. I was like, he just quit. I think because he was like, Well, he was already retired. They tried to cancel him when he was retired, which is really ridiculous. Yeah, but yeah, he didn't. His story? I mean, he's like he. I guess he was accused of something like touching a woman's back or something back. Like, yeah, like, got a woman on her back end and he's the least hand. He's like, doesn't touch anyone. He doesn't even like hugging. So it's very weird to be accused of something when you're when you're like the least hug back. But that's what was going on. Yeah, something like that. I mean, it was, yeah, it's been in these streets. Yeah, it didn't make any sense. It made no sense, especially because he was already retired. And I think he just didn't know like what was happening. So he didn't know how to. He didn't know how to. He was just like, I don't know what I did. I don't want to live in that society. Yeah. Lasseter, his alleged sexual misconduct, was grabbing, kissing and making comments about people's physical attributes, which is something people do. I mean, it can be you got your haircut, but it can also be nice blouse, but can also be someone's been working out. I don't even know vague. That's how they like it. And then, yeah, somebody like Matt Damon goes, Well, we got to we got to understand the difference between Harvey Weinstein and, oh god, what was his name? Al Franken. And then he gets yelled at. Yeah, well, we should, because one guy was like a serial rapist and then like, I didn't do anything. So yeah, you don't want to live in a society where there's a difference. Yeah, you can't even compare, like you can't compare them. But then there's like, I think the problem is in the press because then they'll do an article and they'll have those three people together. Are in the article, yes, and you're like and then their faces are next to each other and then now they're associated with each other. Yes. So it's yeah, it was a little out of control. Yeah. And you're getting canceled and you didn't even come. Like, literally nothing came out of your dad. I was like two. You didn't come to where I get canceled. I want something flying out of my dick. I want to go home and peed off. I listened to a plant. Yes, a potted plant. All right. We have this so-called comedian Lear. Learn more and learn more in Tennessee. I don't like him. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, you don't understand competition. OK? This is your mortal enemy. Is the way I met him. It's the people flying through the sky are balancing on glass bottles like the dancer. They like this guy's story. Yeah. What? You don't have a sad story like with the two minute package of how sad you are and how poor you are. What about the heartland about? Yeah, being sad? Exactly. Like sad music, movies like I didn't win that audition once I gave my number to this cute bartender and my phone didn't ring. Yeah, he kind of was in Wells story and there, and you got nothing. I know it's over. All right. Sorry for it. Anyway. Then it was a good run soundtrack. Ma'am, what do you got going on over there? You know, I got the news. I got the news. First up, Jennifer Gardner gives a glimpse of her intense training to get Marvel fit for Deadpool and Wolverine cameo that she did look pretty fit. Yeah, she's right here. Kitchen is her gym circuit gym. Yeah, it looks like, you know, I watched the movie. It was great. It was nice to see her back on the electoral roll. You know, she did look really fit and had this all on her Instagram. Yeah, this is all on her Instagram Live. The big day had a big set piece with her doing like complicated fight sequence. I got to tell you, as a martial artist, I have some respect for for being fifty two and putting in the work and you could see right here she really worked hard and it turned out really good. The movie, her cameo was bada*s. Yeah. OK, a couple of things. I don't think you should make montages if you look. Yeah, it's a little light. That's a lot. That's a lot. And it's like it's showing off her big gym and equipment. It's fine. Looks like it feels good about it. Yeah. All right. But she got she does have a nice. She does have a nice gym. Yeah, nice gym. Oh, she's even doing the normal tech. But you saw that as some recovery, you know? You know what? I don't really get what I don't really get with a lot of these movies is they they go, Look, we're outnumbered. And they, whoever it is that they're going to attack, has all these magical wizard powers and they can turn everyone into ash and dust and stuff. And then at some point they go, What's the plan? Because they go, We're going to get slaughtered. We're outnumbered, and the plan is it noon? We'll just drive through the front gate and then we'll get out of the f**king van and there'll be six of us and there's one hundred and fifty of them. And then we'll just beat the s**t out of all of them. And it's like, that doesn't feel like a kind of a plan for having way less people and them having made that happen a lot. Fire power Game of Thrones, to which I just I know I'm late to the party, but it was a lot of that like huge groups and then the three of them fight them off. Yeah, with that like, well, there is a strategy where like one of us dresses like an old lady and knocks on the door and they open the door and then we get in there and I set up a zip line of them. But they do a lot of like this is never going to work because we're outnumbered, we're going to get slaughtered, but they're playing. And that movie is to just drive up the main road, go right into the center of the effort to get out of the minivan. Yeah. And then what? And then every gun was trained on them, but then they just beat the s**t out of everyone, which I just didn't feel like. That's not realistic. The plot armor is very strong. What was this movie called Deadpool versus War or Deadpool, Wolverine? And the longer you watch those movie, they're too violent. Good. You're right to want to. It's just all villains. It is. Now here's the thing. Yeah. Also, look, Barry, what's his name is an insidious kind of character. That's not why we're doing documentary. He knew you wanted to keep eight years of work. Now that's not OK. Wolverine has the claws, and then he stabs you. In which case he he he stabbed his half wolf. You are a Wolverine. Yeah, the Anne Hathaway Wolverine. So he he stabs you. Yeah, with that. And then Deadpool has a samurai sword and he stabs you with that. Yeah, yeah. And then when they fight, they both stab each other. Yeah. Too much, maybe an average of one hundred and seventy five times, but both of them rejuvenate and regenerate, so it doesn't affect either one of them. So I have no f**king idea what's why are you guys fighting? There's nothing they keep right bashing each other. They stab him through the chest 30 times, and then he always comes back to life and they're driving home the next day. Like that afternoon? Nothing. Yeah, he doesn't kill. It doesn't. Why are we writing this? You have to figure it out like I can't. I'll tell you the movies I'm always out on. Yeah, I don't get what the rules are as to what kills this person. Yeah. Because there's some part where it's like the evil guy. Yeah. He like jumps up, grabs a commercial airliner and throws it with one hand at the other guy. But then at some point the guy breaks off like a parking meter and tries to bonk him on the head with it. But that can't do anything to him. Well, is there like one thing that kills them? They're weird because it's like they have superpowers, but they also get hurt. And then when they get stabbed, they go like, Oh, except for one stab 200 million times. Why do they keep stabbing each other? They can't be killed. That doesn't do anything. It's just a s**tty piece of writing. Well, that's like what I liked about Game of Thrones, because they did have rules about what killed people. Yeah, you know, like they like, how did they kill the. I have my comic book hat on. OK. Oh yes, OK. The healing factor is is different with Wolverine as it is in Wade Wilson. OK? Deadpool got his healing factor from a series of experiments. Wolverine got his from a natural mutation. All right. So now Deadpool can regenerate if you cut off a piece of whatever if you cut off his legs. It takes a long time, but he'll heal back, OK? In fact, in the old issues, Deadpool got chopped up into different bits and one lady saved him in a refrigerator. Different pieces of them and then made evil Deadpool. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Wolverine has adamantium inside his bones that keeps all his bones together, so he doesn't ever really deteriorate. You understand how he's lived since the Revolutionary War. And just like 200, 300 years old, Deadpool or Wolverine, that's Wolverine. Now, Deadpool is a more recent phenomenon. And I, you know your book? Yeah. Wow. I didn't really study up for this, but next time I'll give you a I'm just saying if me stabbing you 100 hundred times has no effect on you. Maybe I shouldn't stab you 100 first time. And if your sword has no effect on me, then what are we? You're right doing? Just working out? How wait, how long has this character Deadpool been around since the 90s? I used to read his comic books when I was a kid, and his name is Wade Wilson. Wade Wilson, now who was a quarterback for the Vikings. Oh, really? I didn't know that Wade Wilson was an NFL quarterback. I'm looking at you. Just named after the. I wonder if they made it through 80s. Yeah. The blond hair now. Oh, I mean, I don't know. I think Wade Wilson was an NFL quarterback, I would say probably played nine years in the league and he was on the Vikings at some point, probably late 80s, early 90s. Vikings, Falcons, Saints, Cowboys, Raiders played quite a 72. Their purpose there was just an accident. Wow. Years. How many years? She was 17, 17, 17 g*****n years in the NFL and you name your f**kin Wolverine after this guy was 81 to 94. Why don't you name him? Tom Brady would have been less confusing. No, it does. OK, so I'm the only person in the theater who's bumped because when they got Wade Wilson, I go, That's a quarterback who played in the NFL. So, you know, is that you think? Did you know who Barry Bostwick was before he came in here? Not really. See, I'm always the only one who knows everything. That's true, and that's my line. That's why that's why I'm tortured by everything. You can enjoy these movies, right? So did they name Deadpool Wade Wilson after NFL Wade Wilson? I mean, you don't want any guys on the planet play quarterback in the NFL for over 15 years is like four people. By the way, there is a big football player at my show in Minnesota recently, and all the guys are going wild. And I had no idea. I don't know who he was until later. George George. He's in the 49ers George Kibitz, but that, you know, George. Hold on. Hold on the tight end. The blond. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys have the same color hair. Yeah. So good luck, guys. You know, we know you guys should had some blonde kids. I know. But he's married now, but he was cute. He was, yeah, he was there, and all the guys were like, Oh, that's a big deal. Yeah, he was at the show and all the guys were like, Oh, Minnesota, he's here. I wonder why he was there. He came with a friend or something. Oh yeah, to see my actually to see somebody else, not me. Oh all right. But he happened to hold on. First Deadpool 1990. Yeah. Wade Wilson already played nine years in the league. Oh wow. What the f**k nerds. But the creator? There is an explanation. All right. There's an explanation for his name. Why your name and Fran Tarkenton? f**king Idiots writer gave Deadpool the real name Wade Wilson as an inside joke to being related to Slade Wilson. The character Deathstroke. Hmm. Oh my God. McConaughey now, because when somebody says We're going to name that character Wade Wilson, I'll go. You know who's starting this Sunday for the Atlanta Falcons? Wade Wilson said, Don't do it. Give him a different name. He probably didn't even know this guy. I don't think the crossover of Marvel comic book writers and NFL teams actually is large for how it lays. It left this reviewer called because I was bummed. Take it out and enjoy the rest of the film. 17 years in the league, the man played. I should have gone with Barry Bostwick. Barry Bostwick, right? No one knows him alliteration. I'm the only one who knows Barry Bostwick. Not after this episode of true household name. 17 years. Wade Wilson play in that league. All right. Go ahead. Oh my God. Look, V.P. Kamala Harris picking Gov. Tim Walz as running mate. Oh, it's met with media scorn. Such a weird choice. Yeah. Well, they couldn't do Shapiro because they're there's an anti-Semitic sort of faction of the Democratic Party. There is. I don't like going for that. Yeah, I don't know this guy. I don't like the Jews. But it's it's the squad. It's the Minnesota people that don't like them. There's there's a faction of the Democratic Party that are very anti Jewish. I mean, they don't say they're anti-Jewish. They just act. Everything is anti-Jewish. But then they go, It's great love, you know, but they're anti-Israel. So she couldn't pick Shapiro. I've said this a million times. Shapiro is a super common Jewish name, right? Yeah. And the the Jewish names are like Silverstein's and Silverberg stuck up birds and stains and stuff like and Shapiro sounds like a Japanese beer. Yeah. So you're anywhere near the bar or you can kind of tell like Gutenberg and stuff like that. You can tell sort of Jewish, even weird names like board and stuff like that, because I guess probably a Jewish name, but doesn't need a Stein or Stein. My last name would have been Rosenbloom. My grandfather changed it. Jewish sounding Yeah, right. Yeah, right. So there's never seen anything like Goldstein. Right? But then there's Shapiro. Yeah, which doesn't have any Jewish anything. Except France is super popular Jewish name, but it sounds Japanese. I thought it was Italian or, yeah, I was going to say Italian Shapiro. Shapiro, I think we said, like you said, it was something you don't want to get over in Europe. Like if I said, you're the great Japanese gymnast Yuki Shapiro, yeah, that would sound right. Accurate, Tony, the great pizza maker Tony Shapiro. I don't know if it is. They're the biggest Japanese beer in the world is called Sapporo. Yeah, yeah. But that sounds Italian, too. You can't take all the Japanese stuff and say, I'm a better ship at all. So anyway, I think your parents sounds Japanese, all right. But the point is is it's just sound Jewish. They can't have a Jew because there's a fringe of the Democratic Party that's pretty radical and pretty anti-Jewish. So that would have been a problem, which I would argue is a problem anyway. So he went with this guy who's not in a swing state that doesn't help. He doesn't help her, and he's more progressive than she is. Hmm. And here's what I want to say about every politician with their s**t. With your s**t policies. She is in the position of having to walk back everything she said over the last five years, it if you listen to me over the last five years, I complained. I complain about left turn traffic arrows that should never be red. They should just be f**king green. And then they should just blink red and you should go. All things COVID. I don't think two year olds need to wear masks. People driving too slow and the f**king fast lane asked me to walk back any of my s**t and I'd go, f**k you. Give me a microphone. Let's get into it. Yeah. So if you have to walk back all your ideas. First off, did you mean them in the first place? And then secondly, why are you walking them back? This is your idea. This is what you like. This is what you stand for, and everyone now has to get Kamala Harris and kind of go like, Well, she's she's moderate. She's not that. She's not that. So you're just admitting your ideas suck, but she's not into the ideas that suck. She's more toward. She's a little closer to the right. It's like, OK, but why not just go over to the right that if that's where the better ideas are, so they're she's having to, like, disavow? I've always I've always said it this way. Look, Jay Leno told me yesterday. He's going to Detroit for the Wood Woodward Dream Cruise now. What word, what word, what word? Woodward dream curse. All right. That's f**king nuts. OK. It's in. It's in. It's in Detroit. OK? And it. If they they hold it the same time they hold the Pebble Beach race, then I'm going to in the car weekend, which is f**king nuts. It's nuts because the biggest car weekend in the world internationally is Pebble Beach, and these f**king s**t kickers do the stupid thing in Detroit with their American muscle and all this f**king stuff too r****ded. Who cares? No one gives a f**k. There's no racing. There's nothing any good. It's just dumb guys driving pa*s. Fine. But Leno's go in there. And he's bringing his turbine car. And he's going to drive his turbine car, which is a car that Chrysler made like 1963 that has a turbine and like a jet engine, yeah, sounds like a jet engine. It's hooked up to the rear axle, so it's not jet propulsion. It's turning, you know? All right. A. I was imagining a Batman suit. Now I know I was trying to get that image out of your head. All right, thank you. Now, I know you're obsessed with comic books. I mean, I love you. Yeah. So so the point is this. They thought that was the wave of the future where it's going to be turbine jet engines. That's what they thought in 1963 turned out. Not to work at all. It just it was too hot. It was too expensive. It's too loud. It didn't work. And so what we went back to is the tried and trued internal combustion piston engine, which Henry Ford was using. And, you know, nineteen oh, two. But we like the idea of the future. It just didn't f**king work. It didn't work at all. And so what? What I'm saying, what Bernie Sanders does and Kamala Harris do is they go, Look, I'm not saying I want a turbine car because that doesn't work, but I want some kind of something like that like mine. And I go, we have an internal combustion engine over here. f**king works. Just do that. They go, Nah, nah, nah, nah. We're not doing that. We're doing some version of this, but it never f**king works. So he is probably more progressive than her. And then both of them are going to spend the next 85 days trying to get distance from every f**king thing they said into a microphone for the last ten years. But my argument is why that's what you thought. That's what you stand for. This is who you are. This is the left plank of your f**king party. f**king own it. And by the way, you think radically different. Oh yeah. Back when I was fifty three and a half. Yeah, I totally never thought, you know, fresh out of college, you know, I was probably only thirty seven years out of college, you know? You know, but I'm thinking like a young man, you know what I mean? My prostate was a little swollen and I had some salt in my hair, but I was a different me. Yeah, now it's not. It's what you think and what you thought. Yeah, why? Why are we? Why are you distancing yourself from all your ideas? Yeah, but that's the plan. I just want to win win. Yeah, they do. And they're also admitting their ideas are bats**t crazy. And it's like, well, those your party's bats**t crazy ideas drive f**king owning it, so they have to sell it to their normal populace. And then when they get it right, so they go, all that s**t, I s**t about defunding the police and no borders and letting illegals vote and stuff. I'm upset about fifty three young woman's pandemic happening. I wasn't thinking, Oh, you know me, I was riding my skateboard and drink out of you and thinking about the border, you know? But now, no, I don't want any of that stuff anymore. That's, you know, back when I was in my mid 50s, you know, I was a different young, you know, young fresh year ago. I was a dreamer, you know, like you are when you're fifty five and a half, I feel, you know what I mean? I would have gotten Pete booted, Jed George. Yeah, he got Brown Burnett. But I mean, I felt like he was more. Wasn't he more moderate? But he, hey, is the thing will scare a lot of people and too. Oh, will you? Musicians and classical musicians? Now that's what I want in the office. He's classical musician. He's very poised. Yeah, he and I don't know. I thought he was well-spoken. Yeah, he is. He's yeah, maybe, maybe too much dough. But the really telling story about this is the guy who was in the swing state and a moderate was Shapiro, but her left wing is so freaked out about Jews that they couldn't. I couldn't. She couldn't tap him for running, mate. Hmm. Well, next on news Little crime news Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's L.A. home burglaries in the cal string of break-ins. Oh man ! Victims of their victims are ongoing home burglaries in Southern California, law enforcements told ABC News. They'll hit anybody, man. Yeah, I know some guys in the joint that were like that was their whole strategy was to was to check on people's social media and when the celebrities would leave, they would go and rob their house. Yeah, yeah, they they it would perfect. I think Yasiel Puig got it a few years ago. Baseball player, because they knew there were doing a road trip and they're going to be playing three games in Milwaukee. And then this guy guy's taking pictures with all his jewelry and everything. So they go, Well, that guy's definitely on a charter plane. Plane to Milwaukee is going to be gone for three days. So why don't I go by his house? Don't check that. You would think they'd have so much security. You know, the thing about security that I've really learned is sort of like Trump getting shot in the air the other week. It's not we. In fact, we have security. Like everybody like that was the other thing where it's like Prince Henry woke up in the middle of the night, there was a guy standing at the foot of his bed and it's like you have a palace and guards and a fence and stuff is like even just staying in his room, beaten off with a machete. And it's like, but it's always like, I guess the answer is is whether it's like taking a shot at the president or going into Tom Hanks his house, it's easier to just do it like and there's more. And once you just do it, people don't really stop you like you have an alarm and security and a night watchman, something that's just went. Tom Hanks is out. Yes. Yes, there are blind spots anywhere. I mean, anywhere you like where you have like a security job, like the thing about a security job is nothing happens. Nothing happens, nothing happens. Something happens. Yeah. So a lot of people get complacent, you know, right? Because nothing has happened in so long. Exactly. And some years have been happening. Yes. And then when something does happen and you write it off in the past, it's not that memorable because somebody is, you know, walking around the front gate and you go, stop them and who knows what that guy just says or George, you know, I was jogging and then leave. So complacency, I guess I don't know what it doesn't say what was stolen, but apparently the house got hit. And yeah, that was that. Well, you know, Tom, with all the jewelry, right? It's like a rapper that Guy Goldstein signed up for. Yeah, it's fun. Well, but he doesn't live. Chat with him. I know somebody said, I look like him. Is this true? I don't think I'm. I'm in love with Chet Hanks. You are. Yeah. Is he cool? I don't know. I've never met him. He's no better like him because he got. He was doing like a Rastafarian accent. Oh. And he sat down for an interview and somebody tried to do like a gotcha moment. And I fall in love with anyone immediately who tells the person to f**k off and the gotcha moment. And I hate all the people that go, Oh, I have black friends. You know, you understand I just like he just told this interviewer to f**k off. And and I love it. I love any gotcha moment that turns into a f**k off. Oh, here, here it is, right? Wow. You found him in a lagoon. f**k off. Yeah. Any marginalized communities you want to apologize to? I don't know. Maybe the whole community. No, I don't feel like I've truly done anything offences. You don't see it as cultural appropriation, you see it is like a celebration of culture. Mm hmm. And then it's like social justice warriors can like go kick rocks. Yeah. You know, but we are catching up and it takes a sip. Boyd Yeah. Yeah, man. Look, I'm a fan. Me too. I love that. Yeah, because you don't have to answer every it's no fun being black anymore because Whitey woke up to the ruse, you know it used to be. They'd put the black person with the white person and then the white, the f**king black person. Did you see what you said about and everyone, the white people like? I'm so sorry about that now. It's like a f**k off. That's what Trump did at the national urban spokesperson. Whatever. Yeah, she's so crazy. It's like, I'm giving. I'm f**king getting right out of the gate on your a*s. It's so f**king rude. It doesn't work. It's great. They said we took their magical powers away. It's sort of like when a hot chick gets old and ugly, it's sort of like, Oh yeah, I used to have all that f**king power. And now, now it's gone. Yeah. Chad, I take that. Stacey, Thanks. Sorry, Stacey, it's cool. That's right. He was like, Yeah, I liked him. Yeah. Slick with that. Well, because she thought she was going to get in with the culture, right? You know, you feel guilty. Yeah. When she explained anything. She's like, I'm a black woman and I'm going to f**king take this white guy who's, by the way, and Napo baby got super rich parents and a f**king make my sperm or my showtime show. And he was like, f**k off ! Which is the only answer for any of these people, ever. It's like when they asked J.Lo about Ben Affleck and the other guy in the house. You see that there was like right after you say, Reinhart, right now we have to see what happened. We have no idea. Her co-star spoke up for her because someone asked, like, Do you have a comment about your breakup? And then her co-star was like, She is. She's an empowered woman. She's here promoting her movie. We're not talking about that. She spoke up for her. Oh, really? Yeah, it was kind of like a cool. And what did she do? She was like, Yeah, that's we're not asking. She's like, We're not asking that right now. Oh, we're not going there. I forget what the movie was. It was recent Gigli. Now what was it? What was she? Did that movie where she was went to outer space? No, not Manhattan. I think that broke up the anaconda. Oh, that's a good one. Come on, man. It was the reason why Jon Voight was in Anaconda. Now I said, sorry is the reason they broke up. Yeah. Oh, you know this? Yeah. You know why? Yes. Because she's high maintenance. No. No, he's he's miserable. He's miserable. He is miserable. But he's an actual artist. And she just makes bubble gun gum s**t for 13 year old girls and then gets up there and starts talking about her personal power and how she needs to get in touch with her personal power and all women. And he has to be rolling his f**king eyes. Well, that girl, I think that's the one that she did. That was all about her love story. Yeah, yeah, he has, you know, he was like he was in it, but he refused to be himself in it. It's like she has no, you know, any of this. J.Lo is outside of my purview. He has to know that her stuff is lightweight junk that he would make fun of if he wasn't with her. Yeah, she's always talking about she's a lightweight. Like, she just does pop bubble gum s**t. Her songs are s**t. Her art is s**t. Yeah. And it's it's very like self-aggrandizing to what she she really likes fame, I think. And he did. Right? So he's like, he's like, I don't want to be in the spotlight. He hates everything about it, right? He real and back in. That's my I don't know. Guy has another side to her when they're alone together that where she's like, different, maybe sex. Maybe Congress and some of average sprinkle there. Yeah, I don't know. I just was giving him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, it's like he's like, you know, five star Michelin rated chef and she's like, they opened a Golden Corral and he's like, Yeah, that's great. They have popcorn shrimp, and he's like, That's that's great. We're going to go there. Come on. And yeah, he's like, But what do you want to say? You're right. I to talk about popcorn shrimp in my a*s. I'm going to shake my a*s. Yeah, but you're not an artist. What do you mean? Yeah, he's a tortured artist, too. He's like, seems, you know, he's very tortured. Tortured. Yeah. Oh, this is me now as well. Yeah, that's perfect for, yeah, this is me now. Yeah, yeah. That's as far as I go to make a film about me now, talking about me where I come and think about God found herself growth and he's doing like Gone Girl, you know, and he's looking at this s**t going, This is f**king s**t. Yeah, you can't tell. He can't say anything and say anything. But I think more like on a personal level, like aside from the art part of it, it just got to be a nightmare to deal with this woman who was like, Yeah, I want this and I want that. And so that looks like she's doing a thing where she's like Morris. My Pilates guy's going to be here at six a.m. Exactly. That's what I mean. And if you could not smell like cigarette smoke when you meet Morris and not be drinking, that would be awesome. And she's down on a yoga ball at six a.m. and he's standing that he's having a f**king walk outside of the mansion and crouched down by the trash can so he can blow up fight. And then, like, gargle with Listerine and come back into the bedroom and she's like, You smell like mouthwash. Oh, I just want to, you know, all he wants is a Dunkin Donut and a tall, frosty coffee like cigarette, as at all. She's working out all the time and, you know, and she's telling him what those donuts due to her skin and she can't have one. And you know, that's a pain in the a*s. Yeah, it was like a fairy tale in the beginning, maybe. Mm hmm. And then but he's done this twice. I hate to be stuck on this, but I feel like Jennifer Garner was right for him. They seemed like a good match. Well, I agree. Like, happy too. Well, I think she, if he, if she could lead him toward the light. Yeah, she would probably never lead a man to the light. Now she was saying she could have been a grounding force in his life. You know what I mean? And she probably still is because, yeah, don't they have kids together? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. They have kids. Do they have a miserable puke of a kid? That's right. You not. They have a girl. Okay, so favorite celebrity son Chet Hanks? Yeah. Least favorite celebrity daughter. Their daughter. Really? Why? Because of that, she died three weeks ago. She addressed the L.A. City Council, demanding that everyone wear masks again. Oh, and I was like, Oh, shut the f**k up, b***h. What? I thought this s**t was from two thousand twenty one. She like 12. Oh my. And she's going to go in front of the City Council and demand people do something that doesn't work because we haven't f**king had enough. Wow, that's nuts. Yeah. Hi, Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident first-time voter. I'm 18. I contracted a post-trial condition in 2019. I'm okay now, but I saw firsthand that Madison does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses. The COVID 19 epidemic has thrown into sharp relief. One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological cardiac disease. That's nothing that can take away people's ability to make crazy people even think to exacerbate our homelessness crisis, as well as the suffering of many people in our city. It hits communities of color, disabled people. I thought it was the hardest. She's on the long COVID crisis idea, mask availability, air filtration and Far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates and county medical facilities must expand the availability of high quality free tests and treatment. And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safe out of breath. Prove less safe. Less able to participate, whether you like it or not. I told my kids, Listen. I know the people at the L.A. County Public Affairs Office and I got a sniper, but I came up on the balcony. If I see your a*s out there blowing hard about masks or vaccines, anything, he's going to take the hat, turn it backwards. And when he takes a hat, turns it backwards. That means business in the sniper world. You know what I'm saying? And the hat goes when Bill goes back. Is that what that means? That means we're getting ready for a kill shot. Oh, wow ! He spits, is to pick out a toothpick out really goes backward. That's sniper talk for. I think there is even anyone listening to that because it didn't look like anyone was there. It looked like she was. I don't. I don't know. But she once she first off, it's all narcissism. She had something when she was 14. I don't know. 13 had nothing to do with COVID. Right. But we should all wear masks because she wants us to wear masks. f**k, right. OK. All right. So least favorite celebrity sibling. And then there's Chet Hanks. Like a bowl, and I think you probably tell a lot about somebody by which one of those celebrities they responded to, because if you're in love with Chet Hanks and you hate this b***h, then we can have a beer. But if you say, you know, she made a pretty good point, but that Chet Hanks, we cannot hang. That's how it works. I like him. I know where you're coming down on this. He definitely. All right. Next up, Jeff Bezos lose $23 billion. His Wall Street meltdown slams the world's richest people. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Twenty three billion. Yeah. Musk lost a boatload to its stocks, tanked in whatever he lost. Twenty three billion digitally. But Intellia sell off. You didn't really realize that loss. OK, so buy the dip, baby. Buy the dip, buy the dip. He's fine. Yeah, it'll be all right. I'm not worried about him. Do you feel like Lauren Sanchez dresses inappropriately for 56 year old woman? Maybe a little. Well, I don't know. What do you think's appropriate for a fifty seven? She dresses like a 19 year old Puerto Rican prosthetic. Think I have to see a picture? She. Kids are always out. Oh, really? Yeah. Show and picture an updated picture. Oh, if you ever if you have, she works out. She does work out a lot, but it's like a bodybuilder. If you have kids, should you be pushing them out so hard? I feel like you got the fake tits now. You got to quiet it down a little bit. Yeah, it's it's a lot. It's always a lot. I think she's more trying to show off her her stomach than her tits, though. Like her, like her abs, she's showing off everything. She's fifty six year old woman, though. I'm just I'm just saying she doesn't look fifty six. She looks like she's in her 40s. Kind of right now. I don't know. She looks like a bigger person. She looks like she's had a little more. She's not be the little. It's probably not the most flattering. Yeah, it's not the best. But what's around her waist? What is she? Why is she wearing like a thing around her waist? I don't know. But the question remains OK. I just feel like a slightly more appropriate wear. Then shove in the fake tits in front of everyone. Yeah. Feels it just feels a little too easy. The first is a live emoji of a hot chick. Not exactly a hot chick. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, this is her look and a little more. Oh, that looks. Yeah, you're yeah. It's a hot photo. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah, you're right. That's better. Yeah, something. Yeah, that's hotter. So yeah, they caught her on a weird day with the other thing. Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, you don't have to wear a frock, you know, but something that's a little more appropriate. That's all. I don't know. I don't know. She's fifty six. I don't know how old she is, but it's a little, well, if you're a billionaire, you could afford a stylist. Hmm. She could just get a stylist to kind of make her look. Maybe she is using a stylist, you know, like the style. Yeah, maybe she needs a new stylist. I think she needs a new stylist. She is fifty four. I overshot by two years. OK, look bad. Latest This was the shocking one. A Chinese made humanoid robots raise alarms in Congress, a stealth army on our land. So advanced Chinese made robots eerily lifelike capabilities are poised to enter the global market. Some U.S. lawmakers are already demanding that they be banned in the U.S., the Post has learned. It's all happening, right? Do we're not going to get away from this? I don't know from the Chinese, from the robots like my I, I'm just I feel like my last words. I'm just going to be negotiating with a Chinese robot going, Look, just if you could just kill me. I don't know why you have to f**k me and then kill me. Or you just kill me. Like, Please, sir, I'm, you know, I'm pretty righteous. I have a family. And look, you can f**k me after you kill me. But this whole thing, we're going to f**k me and then kill me. It's about it. She just kills me. You think the sex robots are going to be the same as the war robots? There's going to be some crossover. Yeah, some co-mingling. They call it. Yeah, because why? Why big separate war robots from sex robots? What? Here's here's what I'm saying. Here's I'm so you got the Ford Explorer, right? And then you got like the Lincoln Navigator, right? Yeah, they're big SUVs. One of them's a hundred grand. The other one's fifty grand, but they're both owned by the Ford company. Once Lincoln, you know, so they build the Lincoln on the same platform as the Ford, the Navigator. Or, I should say, the Explorer. You know, there are a lot of the same parts. Same base. And then they give you the nicer interior and the nicer sound system and all that. But. Ford and the Lincoln say mid-size SUVs all built on the same platform, it doesn't make sense to just open a new factory and go bespoke on the platform. The sex robot and the army robot are going to be on the same platform. You know what I mean? We're not going to make new knee joints and everything for the sex robot and then whatever is going to be built. And so we're going to have guns. The others are going to have strap ons, but they're going to they're going to be the same platform. And there's going to be co-mingling and crossover and confusion. I'm probably going to get a sex robot that got reprogrammed to be an army robot, but still has memories. And so that's where I get pegged before I get the ball literally and say, Oh, okay, this is starting to sound more like a fantasy than a prediction, right? Fired up. I consider let's be a great Barry Foster. All right. Our next guests are waiting in the waiting room. I want to give my plugs to Jason Mayhem Miller. Where do we go?

I hear about drones in terms of assassinating presidents and dignitaries and stuff like that. There's a kind of a future where we picture, you know, an action future where we picture robots, you know, fighting it out with lasers. But what what is the U.S. government working on specifically in terms of the fighting force and the the future of military? Well, Adam, that's, you know, a great question and a very topical one, we've all watched with a lot of attention developments in Ukraine, which in many respects has become in a sort of battlefield of the future. Just a few weeks there, there was a really astonishing development in that the United States military provided the Ukrainians with thirty one of our most advanced battle tanks. These are the M1, M1, Abrams most advanced battle tank in the world, and a quarter of them this spring got destroyed by Russian kamikaze drones, which forced the US military to actually ask the Ukrainians to pull them back from the front. So we do seem to be at one of these incredible moments where, you know, a century of mechanized warfare which replaced, you know, the cavalry around the First World War might now be in might now be being eclipsed by by autonomous drones. Yeah, the M1 is big. It's state of the art. It's super expensive. But if it can be taken out by something that's relatively inexpensive, then they win, you know, or at least they they win that battle. The drones that took out the M1 are made by whom? These are Russian drones. They're made either by Russia or Iran. But, you know, the point is that they're fairly they're fairly low cost and so they're certainly much lower cost than a tank. And so the economies of offense and defense are changing here. This is what's really important to note if an inexpensive drone can take out an expensive tank. That, of course, gives an advantage to a less resourced, less sophisticated attacker. Yeah. Well, I would imagine, you know, when you think about an F-18 or a Raptor or whatever, Joint Fighter, whatever you're talking about, you know, millions and millions per unit, you know, I mean, what's more expensive than a fighter jet and or an M-1 Abrams tank, which I can't imagine, but it's got to be, I don't know, 30 million bucks a unit or I really don't even have a gas, but super expensive, but it's really just a delivery system. You know what I mean? The tank is there to deliver a shell. And the the F-22 is there to deliver around a shell, a rocket. But if you could deliver that minus the super expensive delivery system that has humans in it, then I guess that's the future, right? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, those tanks are ten million. Are they 10, 30 but still not cheaper now being a risk for a $5000 drug? Is it a fight? Is it a $5000 drone or is it just significantly cheaper? Or we don't need $10000 draw. It's somewhere in that range. Right? It's similar to the Iranians who said these shadowy drones to Israel. We said a bunch of our fighter jets to go shoot them down, and they did, and it was publicly released. We shot 60 Emirati missiles, which are three to four million dollars a shot. So it doesn't it doesn't scale well, but it goes deeper than just the view of can something that's much cheaper do it than an expensive fighter jet. You know, the battle plans and mindset that we have built our forces around like aircraft carriers, expensive satellites. These fighter jets, you know, are built for a world that's rapidly changing and our men and women may not survive. You know, life on a ship in that type of war. And so it's not that we don't need the exquisite stuff, it's just the balance is changing. So fast is, are we going to respond quick enough? Is this going to help the countries that do not have the infrastructure that we have to even the playing field in terms of doing battle with them? Meaning, you know, building a battleship or building an aircraft carrier is a pretty big undertaking, and I don't think Mexico could pull it off. And there are many other countries that can't pull it off, and there are many other countries that can't do what what we can do. But it sort of reminds me, you know, once things went digital, then the prices came down. So it's like a lot of people couldn't afford a Rolex watch, but they could afford a Casio, which didn't have any moving parts. It was just technology. It was just digital, you know. So is this shift from a technological standpoint going to help some of these countries that we just had military might over because of the numbers of ships and planes and so forth we had? You know, and it certainly could if we did nothing, we just sat back and instead a former view of the world. You know, I think the good news is though, even this advanced technology, so small drones, A.I., which powers all of this was invented here in the US first. It's just we were slow to really scale it go after this big consumer market, right? Like there's the small drone market we've basically given to one company called DJI, right? The Chinese, they own 90 percent of the world's market. So it's really, I think, a question of what do we do now? We've seen what the future could be. Are we now going to act? And we've done in the past, we did it World War Two and we did in the Cold War questions. Well, we do it again. Are the drones all propeller driven or do they have jet drones yet? I know from the hobby of flying model airplanes, which I did for a while. They have a turbine jet engine the size of a thermos. You know, it's small, but it sounds like a jet burns jet. It is a jet, and it'll it'll make a model jet plane go 300 miles an hour. They're also expensive, and there's a lot more to them than a prop plane. But I've seen prop stuff, but I haven't seen jet and or other propulsion systems on drones. Adam, there's a really wide variety of drones when Roger and I were in Ukraine last fall visiting the Ukrainian Defense Forces. We saw a lot of very inexpensive quadcopters. So these are things that, you know, 25, 30 dollars worth of hardware, batteries, you know, typically four propellers. There are, however, many other, much more sophisticated drones, both made by Yan Ukrainian companies and even more sophisticated ones made by Western and other military contractors. So there's there's a whole all variety of drones now from very advanced to ones that are very small right now in play in Ukraine and elsewhere around the world. And so I guess whenever there's an advancement, then the next advancement comes on the other side, so somebody invents that, you know, has fighter planes and World War Two, and so we invent a ball turret gunner because we need to try to defend the plane against the Messerschmitt. So there's going to be a lot of defenses. I'm guessing on ships, especially for these kinds of drones that skim the top of the water and have, you know, lots of lots of firepower in them. We're going to have to start taking those things out. I mean, I guess you brought up kamikaze drone and that's kind of World War Two when the planes were just dive bombing the ships, it's just as much flak as they could put out. There is what they did, but I imagine there's going to be sort of drone specific countermeasures now and M-1 Abrams are probably going to start working on a drone specific countermeasures that correct. Absolutely, I mean, this is a cat and mouse game. And that's, as you describe, been always the case in war. I think what's different now is just how fast to change it. So the Ukrainians have drones to attack Russian fighters. Well, the Russians started doing GPS jamming. Then they use other types of electronic warfare. And then the Ukrainians figured out a way to navigate by using little cameras and then the Russians come up with something else. It's just happening so fast these changes we used to measure in months or years. Now they're measuring it days and hours. So it's like a whole new paradigm of like, how do you how do you respond so quickly to changes on the battlefield? We've never had to do it this quick. Yeah, the the tank got rolled out in World War One and is not so different than the M1 Abrams tank you see today. I mean, ostensibly it's the same principle. So stuff took a while, you know, and now it's fast. What's your take on Ukraine? What? What was the feeling there on the ground? You know, we've been caught up in a lot of Biden and Trump and everything here and really heard that much Ukraine news. But what's what's your kind of take on it? Well, I'd say a couple of things. Four for people like me and Raj that I've also served in other conflict zones. What's interesting about Ukraine is that the violence there is really quite concentrated around the front itself. And so for the most part, people can go on living their lives in the big cities, going out to dinner, walking around with the exception of occasional Russian air raids. The second thing that was just remarkable is just how much innovation we saw. Essentially, most Ukrainian men who would ordinarily be drafted but have maybe a computer science background and an engineering background are going to work either in one of the military's own innovation units or for an affiliated company that's created drone or counter drone equipment. It was fascinating to meet that whole economy of innovators. And then the third thing I'd say that I think struck both Roger and I is, you know, it's one thing to read about the conflict, you know, through a newspaper. But obviously, when you meet the people that are involved in it and you learn more about their own losses, you're reminded of just what it means for there to be a land war in the border of Naito in Europe. And I guess it's going to serve as a kind of petri dish that's going to move this whole. Process forward, because it's battlefield tested literally just drones, and, you know, in times of peace, you don't really get the field test of how all this stuff really works and how effective it is, and we may not have known about the M1 Abrams, you know, kamikaze drone had this conflict never broken out. So I guess with each conflict, it moves the technology ahead fast as well. For good or for for bad? Correct? Yeah, absolutely. In fact, the organization that Chris and I used to run called the Defense Innovation Unit, which is basically the Pentagon's, you know, embassy and outpost here in Silicon Valley, has been charged with a program called Replicator, which is how do you get a lot of little drones cheap in the air, on the ground, on the water, under water, fast it out into the hands of war fighters. So there's some reaction from the Pentagon to seeing this. I just hope we do it at scale. We get enough of it. Yeah. And what? You know, we've talked about God, I guess it was Reagan who was talking about Star Wars and a defense, you know, Missile Defense Network kind of Iron Dome ask and everyone made fun of him, but they made fun of him when he told Gorbachev to tear down the wall, they just made fun of him. I'm from California, so maybe that's how we just made fun of him, but sounds like maybe he was on to something. But I I don't know. Like, are we looking at some sort of Iron Dome missile defense? You know, if if Vladimir Putin goes nuts and hits the button, what's our what's our plan? Is that something we're talking about? Yeah, I think, you know, the drone world, as you said, will need a different type of defense. So we had a whole set of defenses. The Star Wars initiative in the Reagan era, countless other sense of how do we stop big ballistic missiles to target the US could be the Russians. It could be a rogue reactor like North Korea. OK, now we've got drones are smaller or they're cheaper. Instead of seeing a dozen of them, maybe we're going to see a thousand of them. So we're going to need a different. We're going to need the defense was going look different. But you can't shoot a multimillion dollar missile at a $10000 drone, which is that will bankrupt us. So I think these things are being figured out. There's young companies in the valley working on it. There's programs in the prior offense, Israel's working on things. It's really a seminal moment, though, in the battle of democracy versus autocracy. And. When you see these futuristic movies in the battlefield and you do see all the drones and all that kind of stuff like, I used to scoff a lot at the movies about, Oh, that's never going to happen. A lot of it seems to come to fruition. I mean, a lot of the stuff they were talking about happens essentially. I mean, even a lot of this stuff that was in Star Trek and stuff like that, there's some version of that now because creative people are being creative about the future and they're there, right? Often, oftentimes. But I'm guessing the battlefield in the future is just going to have less humanity on it, and it's going to be fought at a greater distance. Does that sound accurate in terms of humans? Add on, that's for sure a fair guess. But you know, to go back to your movie analogy, you know, it's it's amazing what you know. Science fiction is, of course, a great form for, you know, projecting into the future and imagining what it might be. But of course, those of us who go to the movies also see films like James Bond and Mission Impossible, and it'd be amazing if that were the way our national security institutions actually worked. But of course, when you go inside them, you learn very quickly that there is often a lot of lower and older tech in play. And so Raj, for instance, one of his first trips after we assumed leadership at Defense Innovation Unit was to an Air Force Command Center, and he found John Air Force officers essentially using Microsoft Office to fight the air war against ISIS. And so simply upgrading from Windows 95 and building some custom software was what really helped that particular command center. So, you know, it's not just, of course, a question of the most sophisticated weaponry that a military deploys. It's also a question of the sort of bread and butter infrastructure it uses every day. It can make quite a difference, and it works as well. I mean, I'm waiting for teleportation. That's going to be a while away in the interim, you know, a war fighter, you'd be just happy to take an Uber Uber app for like an airstrike. Have all the back end analysis, the connectivity. You know, we don't even have that. Who are the countries we should be worried about? I mean, you got China, you've got Iran, some other players, South Korea or North Korea. Which one is it? Sorry. North Korea is about, I guess China is the one that kind of keeps, keeps coming up. And then there's always good old Russia, but who's? You know, you I hear that we're much further ahead technologically than those countries are from a military standpoint and then others say, Oh no, we're going to be in trouble. So on and so forth. Who would you be more fearful of China or Russia? Well, you know, in modern history, Adam, you've never seen two democracies go to war. So all these ones that you named Iran, North Korea, China or the CCP within there and Russia there are run by autocrats. And you know, they could wake up one morning on a whim and say, You know what? I don't like my neighbor anymore, and I'm going to do better. And there's really nothing to stop them. But internally or sometimes even externally. So, you know, I think we have to worry about them all, but for different reasons and different methodology is right the North Koreans. There are rogue states. They, you know, are in the dark, literally, if you look at the maps of at nighttime, but also their access to information. You know, China is very different. It's we've got intertwined economically, but you've got a CCP party now that run by one guy who's president for life. And you know, Putin just wants to be a thorn in everyone's side. And so, you know, at the end of the day, their number one goal is to stay in power and they'll do whatever it takes. And you know, we have to show to them that it's going to be more expensive for them to be to go on these adventures than not. Where do you how do you see the Ukraine war finishing out? Is there an end in sight? Is Ukraine going to have to give up some land? Where just when does the cease fire start? What concessions are made or assisting just going in perpetuity? Well, I don't know what has been interesting. I mean, there's been a whole bunch of new technology deployed on the battle ground in Ukraine, so not only by more advanced drones on the Ukrainian side, not only additional US military capability and systems that have been deployed with the Ukrainian side most recently have 16s have arrived. But of course, the Russians have also evolved in the way they've been prosecuting their own attacks and counterattacks. What's interesting is, despite all this innovation and change on both sides, the lines, of course, haven't moved all that much. So everybody's waiting to see whether there will be an innovation that could really move the lines. And there are some for, for instance, the Russians are now beginning to mass manufacture quite sophisticated drones in a factory in Iran by the thousand. So people wonder whether eventually that could change the equilibria. But for now, it looks like not much is going to be able to change the equilibrium, which which leaves us in a everyone in a frustrated situation with a war ongoing Russian seemingly willing to send more recruits to the front and peace, perhaps further off that people had hoped. By this point, our most drones sort of, as you said, kamikaze drones, or are there fire and come back to base drones? There are all kinds of drones, from kamikaze to drones that are just used for surveillance to drones that fly alongside other drones to protect them. Almost any, you know, use you could imagine for an aircraft is now being replicated replicated by a drone. I. Yeah, I guess I was just picturing it. But back in World War Two, the Nazis had that was the age. What was that self-guided? Yeah. I mean, they had a drone, you know, 1944. And I can't remember the rocket V-22 rocket had to be one rocket. Yeah, yeah, that's that's. But it was crazy. You think back to the 20s and 30s in aviation, right? If you go back and and look at the photos, you see all kinds of contraptions of airplane, one wig, two wings, three wings. You know, they experimented everything before they began to figure out who was really working and going to build them. Right. I think we're seeing that in drones. You're trying all kinds of stuff, dumb, autonomous. Some control, some, you know, dropping off other drones and. And so it's this crazy amount of innovation and experimentation. And, you know, nothing makes people more ingenious then than the life or death situation of war. And that's what we're seeing. Yeah, there's so many different experimental planes all through World War Two, probably more so than than one, but just stuff. If you ever go to a war museum, a look of World War Two flight war machine, you just see crazy stuff out of Japan, too. We were doing stuff. I mean, they had balloons with incendiary bombs and stuff like that. Like, it was just just anything they could think of. But they didn't have the computer. So it was all mechanical and analog, and it's it's insane that they would even get it to work back then. With no computing power at all. But now I would say with a computer that is really just blown open the whole drone subject right now, we can sort of do anything. It just makes it so much cheaper. The parts are cheaper, the designs are cheaper, so more people can build things and they can build them, build them faster. And I think now the challenge for us is, let's think past World War Two Cold War, right? We had a build up of all kinds of other unique weapons and defensive systems, but it worked in the sense that it deterred aggression. But we we had the most relative amount of peace. There were no great world wars for the last seven years, and that's that's a really good thing. Like, we're scrappy. And so what do we have to do now? So no one else wants to challenge us or go to war. Why? I mean, maybe this is naive, but Russia has the drone factory in Iran, as you mentioned, right? Why Iran? I mean, why doesn't Russia just open a drone factory in Russia? Well, that has to do in part with a number of very severe economic sanctions that the U.S., the Europeans and allied nations have put Russia under. That makes it more difficult for Russia to import the, you know, all the different subsidiary materials that go into its industrial, its wartime industrial base. In fact, there are accounts of fighting on the ground in Ukraine and the remains of cruise missiles, literally microprocessors that were taken from dishwashers to feed the shortage of chips. So this requires a state like Russia, then to reach outside its own borders to other countries that do not have as many sanctions that they fall under. So, you know, sort of evidence in a way that the sanctions are working. But as we've seen both with with Chinese attempted evasion of certain controls on advanced computer chips to Russia's own attempts at trade, at avoiding the sanctions have been placed upon it. No regime of sanctions is perfect because of course, you can always set up shell companies and global economies is such a globally distributed business. So that's part of the reason why you know, war is changing as these components are really available all over the place now. The footage, the recent footage, c**kpit footage, a lot of it of UFOs for lack of a better term, moving in ways that people can explain. Some folks say experimental this or that, you know, maybe it's a military thing. I don't know how much of you've kept up with this stuff, but when you see that kind of stuff with your experience, do you go, Oh, we're not capable of that, and neither is China. That's got to be something that from some different place other than here. Or do you see it and go? I kind of know what that is. I bet they're working on some stuff that could do that. Or what's your general take about some of this footage, recent footage of some of this on, you know, unidentified stuff. Adam, I have 3000 hours of flight time in the world, and I've never seen one of those UFOs or things, you know, rejoined on me or come hang out. I'm kind of disappointed. Yeah, cool enough for them to want to spend time with us. What are you flying? What equipment do you fly? So I'm a reservist on the Air Force. I fly F-16s in the Air Force. Oh, that's pretty damn exciting. Should have said that at the beginning that that's a really exciting piece of equipment to be flying, isn't it the great airplane? And you've never seen anything, but you have seen c**kpit footage from from other F-16s, right? Is there a way to with all your experience? To sort of figure it out or justify to wrap your head around it. Yes, some of those things are hard to explain and so I don't know what what they are and I'm like, like the rest of us wait and waiting to see when when they get uncovered. Exactly what happened. Yeah. Christopher, any thoughts? Oh, they they gave me security clearances, but but not high enough to know if we have aliens or not, so I don't have an opinion, unfortunately. But yeah, I mean, just to the lay person sitting home, watching, watching it on the computer, on the TV, does it look like any drone you've ever seen in terms of its movement? I think the footage was probably as baffling to me and Roger as it was to anybody else watching it. And I guess maybe the next sort of chapter of drones is going to be the probably the movement of them versus, you know, just getting them off the ground, getting them to sort of hover, get around the target or deliver the munitions or something. I'm guessing the way they move is going to be one of the one of the next ones. And I I, you know, I'm not a big fan of war, but it does inspire a lot of innovation. I will. I will definitely say that. Yeah, and it makes this unique, though, is that this innovation right? The starting the drones to be running, the drones, controlling the drones. What makes us different than previous conflicts is that a lot of that tech is coming from the commercial world, and it's not like the military developed it and then it trickle down. It's the opposite. Military is almost playing catch up to to go and see that right. You know, the F-35, which is our latest frontline fighter, was designed for at least the requirements were put in place in 2001, and it reached fully operational capability in 2016, 15 years later. Well, those original planes, your iPhone, right, which wasn't even invented in 01, you know, has far more computing power than a current F-35. So it's we're in a wholly different paradigm now. We've got to figure out how to get these sectors to work together, which is the job Chris and I had had for a few years in the Pentagon. Well, the book is called Unit X how the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are transforming the Future of War. So if you'd like to know where we're heading, I would suggest you pick up that book. It's available on Amazon or wherever you find Finder books. Christopher and Raj, I hope you guys can check back from time to time and keep us updated because it's fascinating stuff and it's moving. It's moving so fast that you know there'll be different conversations to have. There wasn't drastically different conversations to have from 1940 to 1941 in terms of the military, but I feel like now it's it's moving at breakneck speed, so check back and give us all the updates. Will they for Amazon? Thanks, Adam. Thanks, you guys, appreciate it. All right, I'm going to be tomorrow night at Jimmy Kimmel's club in Vegas doing two shows over there and then Reno at the National Automobile Museum. I'll be there with Patrick Warburton doing a couple of shows. Our one show on Friday. Come on out, say hi, see all the Paul Newman race cars and go to Qualcomm for our live shows. The next time Saturn for Christopher and Raj and Erica and Jason sayin Mahalo. You can leave us a voicemail at eight, six three four one seven four four and get tickets to see the man at.
