The Joe Rogan experience.
I, yeah, no, it was really weird because I was in the area that I lived.
That's where Tony lived, too.
They burned, yeah, they burned cop cars, like, very near my house.
He used to love that area.
It was so beautiful.
It was so nice.
And now it's all full of tents.
It was really, it was really rough.
Do you know that they're spending fucking, oh, you ready for this, Jamie?
How about this?
I'm going to send you this, Jamie, because this is fucking crazy.
But as we're talking shit on Los Angeles, there's still at-homes people here.
Well, there's a thing, there's, it's nothing in comparison.
It's a smaller town.
What's this, East Hollywood?
Instagram account, yeah.
Oh, is this someone's-
Street People of Los Angeles.
Street People of Los Angeles is good.
Gutter People of Los Angeles is better.
That's my favorite one.
Oh my God, you guys, this is sad.
This is the video I was looking at that when you're talking about this, like,
activist lady
is trying to, I guess, help, but there's also a guy with a machete just
standing right behind her.
Jamie, when you watched this the first time, what part did you come?
He comes all the time.
He just comes multiple times.
Not as much as Tom Cigarette, but-
Yeah, not like Tom.
I'm going to send you something, Jamie.
This is, you remember how Coleon Noir was on and he was talking about how the
reason why
the homeless situation never gets fixed is because so many people are working
on the homeless situation
and they spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
L.A. spent, I thought it was, there was no money.
That's not the case.
Hundreds of millions of dollars get spent on the homeless.
And thank you for your contribution to that, rich man.
But you know where it goes to?
But you know where it goes to?
It goes to the salaries of people working on the homeless.
Oh, wow.
So this, someone posted all the salaries of all these people.
Look at, they're all like six figures and more.
Look at it.
$254,000, $263,000, $198,000, $264,000.
Like they make a shitload of money.
You would think it is like, it is a job you would want to pay people a lot
because you
want them, you want like great money.
This is a, this is a puzzle.
Like this is a puzzle somebody needs to solve.
But you want results.
When you get no results, you shouldn't get that much money.
Exactly.
And there's too many people.
There should be like a committee of five people that are experts.
You need a lot of people to deal with the homeless situation in L.A.
It's a hundred thousand homeless people.
You have, you have Boulder, Colorado in L.A.
In homeless.
Like take the entire population of Boulder and make it homeless and then put it
in L.A.
Boulder is still the opposite of that.
Boulder is just these gorgeous fit.
Hikers.
Hikers.
Yeah.
They're like, they're hot, but they're wearing those like toe shoes and like Tevas
so you
wouldn't bang them.
But you're like, I understand.
They're taking like a yoga mat to the top of a cliff.
They got a yoga mat.
They're wearing Joe Rogan fanny pack.
This is a story I heard on the L.A. News that they had these, they bought these
things
for the homeless shelter situation and they were just hanging out near a Dodger
stadium unused
until someone found them with like a drone one day.
You know what?
That's not going to fix anything either.
I want one of those.
So they spent a bunch of money on it.
Right.
But here, so then you're going to get homeless people and they're going to live
in these things.
They're going to make it so nasty.
They're going to live however the way they want to, this guy's talking about,
they're going
to live however the way they want to in those things up there just doing drugs
and lighting
things on fire.
And it's like nice living in L.A.
Like it's like the weather's beautiful.
Pretty nice.
Well, that's why they like to go down to the beach.
It's very, you know, it's very maintained.
The ocean air comes off.
I think what they're doing, I know they have beachfront property.
They do.
They're putting decks on.
I'm like, you guys, this is crazy.
You guys are living a better life than me.
Venice is bananas.
But Venice is, I think they did something where you can't loiter or litter or
something.
So now the homeless people are like cleaning.
It's like cleaner.
What the fuck?
Or they can arrest them.
You can't camp.
How about that?
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
And you know what's weird?
You know what I noticed the other day?
There's people that are not quite homeless yet.
That's how you know.
It's like these are drug addicts.
Like it's like people that are not, you see them like leaning into that life
where you're
like, if they weren't allowed to camp, they would probably.
Get their shit together.
The whole thing is dumb.
You can't allow people to just camp on streets in the middle of nowhere.
You just can't.
You just can't.
In the middle of your streets.
Yeah.
Put tents up.
You just can't allow that.
You know, they passed a ban on it here.
And today is supposed to be the day that the second phase goes into effect.
I was going to say, because I've been, I can't allow my king to tell me there's
no homeless
people in his town.
No, there's homeless people.
There's just not a lot.
Yes, there are.
No, there's 2,000.
2,000 to 3,000.
Well, it's a small place.
I see them everywhere.
Well, there's a lot.
I mean, in terms of like visually.
I'm telling you, I saw this obese homeless woman, bottomless, running across.
I mean, the amount of vaginas I see in this goddamn business, but she was
running across
wearing a mask.
I was like, I was promised no masks and no homeless people, and I'm getting a
mixture of both.
