your podcast is great
that's really good it's really good you like the format it's great i love your
intros
you know you're cooking onions and just talking yeah it's so raw it's a really
good podcast man you
you've done an amazing job with it i like your music selection when you bring
in the guests yeah yeah no
you're you do a great job with it like whenever the guest comes up i was like
okay what kind of
song is he gonna play yeah ingram said it once i did one with him about having
diabetes
um and um and uh he was like did you put pour some sugar on me at the beginning
of
it's about diabetes like yeah man yeah you gotta you gotta have something like
that goes
that's hilarious yeah rick ingram is one of the most underrated guys out there
yeah i've seen him
kill at the comedy store lately he kills hard enough where people have always
said can you not put me on
after him yeah he's one of those guys he's a funny dude very funny dude good
guy too yeah but um yeah that
rollins thing i did see you some of that while i was out there that the when
people say like what
are you doing out here yeah um i tried a few times i'm here to meet you and it
just gets a conversation
going because they want to know i think with him it was more his celebrity
booth it's just like what
you're white what are you doing here right what are you doing in some small
town in nowheresville
did you feel threatened anywhere um any sort of threatened i this is a good
question any sort of
like threatening i felt was just me um it wasn't real it was me looking at
people that don't look
like me and going oh i'm scared you know there are others and then you find out
like like myanmar is
i mean 90 something buddhist wow yeah it's a massive massive part of their
their culture is that where
you went first mm-hmm yeah why'd you pick that place uh best weather oh i i got
my ticket the day
before so i just didn't want to go somewhere where it's going to be raining wow
so myanmar had 10 days
of clear and i was like headed to myanmar i guess wow yeah it was great though
so what do you like what
do you do like how do you set this up do you set up i picked a region a region
yeah it kicked out between
south america and southeast asia you just decided like that looks like a good
time of the year to be
there yeah exactly i would love to go to europe a backpack around europe but
not in january not in january
february no it's not gonna be enjoyable whenever i think of europe i mean even
though i've been to europe
and i love it i think of world war ii movies yeah them having like the bunkers
i just think of people freezing
you know eating food out of cans hearing bombs go off in the background yeah
some dust coming in from
the ceiling well you know i was thinking the other day when i was looking at
all this crazy that's been
going on in england these terrorist attacks yeah and uh what happened in france
and i was just thinking
how long that section of the world has been in in turmoil it's just always
fighting always fighting
yeah and then i was thinking like america's one of the only places where very
little has gone down
like little things have gone down they're they're obviously big at the time
like pearl harbor was
huge at the time but very few and then 911 and other than that it's like whoa
boy what else and then
you look at europe like holy dude there's a part of france that's the size of
paris that you can't go
into why because there's so many bombs there there's so much munitions from the
world wars oh really so bad
that they have like an area the size of paris what just mines and stuff just
musicians just
fucking missiles and shit things that were flying there that landed things
things that blew off
uh all sorts of chemical waste oh really oh dude it's toxic see if you could
pull that up really yeah yeah yeah
i feel like it's i feel like it's outside of normandy i forget where it is but
there's a section of of
france that is literally the size of paris that people can't go into for like a
hundred thousand years
oh yeah just because it's all this like chemical waste just because of all the
waste from the bombs and all
the different fucking missiles and rockets and guns and shit
dude it's crazy it's crazy wow and obviously i don't have uh the facts in front
of me until jamie pulls
it up and my shitty memory but i know that this is a real place and i know that
there's just left
over like wings of planes i think it's mostly like things they shot at each
other and unexploded some of
them unexploded some of them exploded like the waste from them oh yeah here it
is this is a map of the
space see those things they can't go all these bombs that didn't go on the cobblestone
streets look at
those things dude these are all bombs that didn't go off but that guy's there
yeah well that guy knows
what he's doing he's just touching it they pulled that one out imagine if it
went off right next to you
the water area is found to contain water area it says uh found to contain
certain toxic levels of
arsenic that were 300 times above the tolerant tolerated amount and uh abnormally
high lead levels
were recorded in some animals particularly in the livers of hunted wild boars
oh so they they buried it all
i think it's just there man i think it did just have this area i don't think
they buried it looks
like they put it under under mounds of dirt is that what's going on and then
grew does it say that
no but those mounds look like that i don't know let's see what get up to whoa
cool freaky a no-go
zone of france forbidden no man's land poisoned by war oh dude i mean look at
that guy with the gas
mask on that is awesome yeah it is up to his up to his why did i think that was
real it doesn't even
look a little real it's so clearly it's not even like it's like chalk painted
it's not even like
it is a dope picture but i was reading and looking at the photo and like oh is
that guy in a gas mask oh
that's not a real picture dude i've seen some tattoos recently on people on
instagram that's one of the
best things that instagram's for that's tattoo artists there's some people that
have done these
super realistic photograph tattoos that are just flat out freaking freaky they
can do flat out
freaky tattoos i've seen those wow incredible golly yeah dude tattoo artists
like all artists i guess are
just because of the internet but yeah and then they're taking things to another
level because they're seeing
the level of all these other people and like a guy in germany can compare
himself with a guy in japan
and a guy in america yeah like jesus christ wow god damn it looks like his skin
is falling off
yeah there's a lot of i was great really good tattoo artists out there right
now really good some hot
chicks getting them too yeah like all over the place jesus and guys love that i'm
one of those guys you
know why why because you know she's dangerous that's a reckless gal maybe she's
got johnny depp tattooed on
her foot you know like that girl's crazy like girls with like love and hate on
their hands like okay
here we go yeah exactly it's like you're on a roller coaster ride it's going
click click click click click
click click click click click click click click and you're at the apex yeah you
can never just have
a nice quiet dinner with a girl like that yeah it's gotta be on every night
something's thrown at your
head a girl has los angeles tattooed across her stomach like whoa yeah you know
and like that gothic
like a gang sign what's behind your ear yeah face tattoos is where you're
really making a commitment
that's a weird one right it's like i'm willing to like some people get i'm a
little crazy with khalifa
types yeah oh those are the well how about gucci main got a fucking ice cream
cone tattooed on
his face and it says burr really yes dude he got an ice cream cone tattooed on
his face
and it says burr yeah like burr this is cold
i'm not kidding he's not like an ice cream guy though i like his music though
but it's not all about
ice cream is it look god damn wow it says burr burr and then the meme spelled
burr wrong
there's lightning bolts off the ice cream cone i feel like that was put in
later
no i think that was at the same time ice cream and ice and lightning yeah ice
cream and lightning
that's real that's his tattoo
nothing says getting like three scoops of ice cream wow good for him it's gonna
be hard for him to find
a job though yeah he doesn't have a job he's a rapper he doesn't need a job i
mean okay i don't want
to see inside of the lip on this the inside of the lip one is weird but like it's
weird right yeah it's
out of the way i'm a sneaky freak i'm hiding my freakiness inside my face there's
no versions with
tattoos well i'm sure there must be maybe i'm sure there must be but not really
though that's not even
unusual because you don't think what what about asexual people do you believe
in asexual people oh
yeah yeah definitely right yeah i've met a couple yeah some people just don't
want just don't touch me
thanks yeah i'm not into that sort of thing why is it so horrible i'm going to
stamps i mean it's not
like they just are anti-social they just don't want to they have no interest in
it yeah so what about them
oh they uh what if they get tattoos yeah i don't think it ever happens i stand
by it wow you're a strong
there's no versions of tattoos stick to a like commit to an opinion yeah
exactly doesn't matter if i didn't
research it you're not even totally sure you're not even totally oh i'm a
hundred percent sure man
wow i'm doubling down interesting i like how you do that you raise your voice
yeah you've extended your head
there's something about movement have you seen this video i don't know if you
know what's going on
in uh evergreen college do you know where evergreen college is evergreen state
college in the north
it's in pacific northwest and there's this crazy shutdown i had this professor
on the podcast because
they um the kids had asked him to uh not show up at school and not no white
people sure no whites day
because yeah they wanted a a day where whites didn't and he's like that is the
opposite of
inclusiveness like this is this is not what we're supposed to be doing so they
kick him out right he's
them out instead of saying no how about everybody day well this is what they
did they didn't really
kick him out what they did is they protested they yelled and screamed and he
felt unsafe and he left
the college and then the college got shut down dude shut down oh really threats
yeah people called in
they even played the threats on the air what do you mean threats he was already
gone no other people
called in like to threaten the college yes because yeah oh because like right-wing
people oh right
