Erik Griffin | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #217

Today's guest is one of the funniest guys I know.
He's a beautiful, unique fella.
You know him from probably maybe Workaholics.
He has a famous character on there, Montez is the man.
And he also has been in a lot of other series and stuff.
He has a podcast of his own called Riffin with Griffin.
And he's one of a kind, and he's here today.
My friend, Eric Griffin.
Shine that light on me.
I'll sit and tell you my stories.
Shine that light on me.
I'm surprised you don't have Theo water.
Yeah, well, we're looking into it.
We got Gianni.
We just ordered some hydrogen and oxygen for Gianni to mix up for us.
In between his auditions for big movies.
He's here interning.
What's he doing?
No, he's in here.
He's feeling himself.
You understand?
Like, so much.
Oh, he should be a centipede.
How much he feels himself, bro?
With all the hands he's got.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, unbelievable.
I'm here, man.
Thanks for having me.
You bet, man.
We, you know, we're happy to have you here, man.
Good to see you today, bro.
Are you?
Yeah.
I don't even know what's going on.
I know.
Nothing's going on.
I know.
What's going on, man?
You look nice.
Well, you know, I said I wanted to wear my good shirt today for you.
You know, actually, I just did this movie.
I do movies too, Gianni.
And they gave me all the clothes.
Oh, that's good, huh?
Yeah.
So I was like, I'm going to wear that shirt.
Isn't that nice sometimes to do that?
I know.
I know.
But dude, you know what I did today?
Yesterday, it's like, I don't know if you follow Eddie Bravo.
Oh, yeah, yeah, dude.
Okay.
So Eddie Bravo.
Follow him.
I have to listen to him in person sometimes.
And it's wild.
Okay, he put up this post of this dude.
Okay, so the guy is, it's on his Instagram.
So a guy walks across the street.
He pulls out a gun to rob a dude.
And then the dude cold cocks him, beats him down.
And then now this dude that had the gun is passed out on the ground like this.
Okay?
The dude kicks him in the head like nine times.
Yeah.
I said, I think that's excessive.
What?
The guy was going to shoot him.
I know.
But the guy, now the victim has the gun.
You know, he picked the gun up and he kicked this dude in the head nine times.
I just said, I think that's excessive.
You already won.
Okay?
And then I'm talking about all the comments of these monsters that follow him.
Saying what?
Shoot the man?
Yeah, they're saying like, that's street justice.
You know, all that.
But it's still excessive.
It's excessive street justice.
I mean, here's the thing about street justice is it's lawless.
You know, it's not.
There's no referee.
Check it out.
Once it was videotaped, it now has a referee.
Right.
Humanity.
Yeah.
People.
People are now like, because that guy could go to jail.
Yeah.
Like, that's the sad part about how the system works.
Wow.
The guy on the ground can actually sue that guy.
Yeah.
He can sue him and be like, yes, I know I tried to rob him.
But then he punched me and I'm passed out.
And he kicked me nine times in the head.
And now my neck is.
This dude's going to be in court like this.
You know, I can't even move my head now, your honor.
You know, and then he's going to, he's going to, he can sue that dude.
He can't even move his arms.
He has to put his head on the Bible.
Yeah, yeah, he's going to be like, I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth.
I just, I don't know.
It's just the responses are crazy.
Like, I'm crazy.
Everybody's getting on me.
Like, I'm like, you know, like, you know, have you ever had your life in danger?
Like, what are you?
All I said was this shit is excessive.
That's all.
I don't know.
Yeah, no, I think, look, man, I think, well, I'm trying to think.
Say if I walk up on a guy and I have a gun and he beats my ass.
Right.
The next day, I mean, I can't say it.
Really, I can't say anything.
Like, yeah, in court, I could say something with some bullshit attorneys and a
bunch of
kind of Muppet shit.
But in reality, if that guy takes.
He wouldn't say anything.
Take cuts off both.
If I wake up with no arms and legs, I can't be like, well, dang.
Yeah, but check it out.
I get you.
But if the cops come to you because they go, hey, we have this on video.
Right, right.
At that point, you're like, okay, well, yeah, I got to say something now.
Let me get something out of this.
Right.
If that's your vibe, if you're like, let me get something out of this, then yes,
I agree.
And I'm not saying it's your vibe, but yeah, then you do that.
You go and get your deal, you know, get you a Christmas, you know, a Christmas.
Let me make.
There it is right there.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Perfect.
And let me make this point, too, by the way.
Are these black gentlemen?
No, no.
I think that.
Here we go.
I'm just saying.
Just getting all the facts.
Oh, wow.
I like the voice of racism coming from the side.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Pow.
He cold knocks him out.
One kick to the head.
Two.
Three.
Well, he's angry.
Four.
Yep.
Five.
Yep.
Oh, that guy's almost like a clock.
Now he's going to call the cops.
Six.
You get it.
Dude's out.
Dude's gone.
Seven.
Gang, bro.
Okay.
Now he's going to get the gun.
At one time.
Oh, this is like a Poirier versus Khabib, man.
He's got the gun.
Now he's cursing at him.
Now I think he's just filming for Instagram, actually.
He should be.
Nine.
There's eight.
Okay.
Yep.
Nine.
That's too much.
Okay.
Theo.
Theo.
Theo.
This is what I'm saying, man.
Now he gets his hat.
He gets the dude's hat.
I think you do eight.
Listen.
Wait, wait, wait.
This is my point, okay?
Okay.
This is my point.
If he would have kicked the dude in the side three times, I'm with it.
But that dude wasn't coming.
How do we know that dude was going to shoot him inside?
He's trying to kick.
He had the gun.
But he's trying to kick the Satan and put something in a man, okay?
He's trying to kick that out of that man.
Whatever that is in the man's head.
This is the Lord's work?
This is the Lord's work?
Well, look, man.
The Lord is wild.
Oh, my goodness.
People think the Lord lives in a library, baby.
The Lord is wild.
This is when your 800 number pops up and people are called to donate money.
We're here for the Lord.
Call 888-THE-OVEN.
888-THE-OVEN.
The Lord works in mysterious ways here on Theo Vaughn's podcast.
No, listen.
If the dude would have broke the guy's hand, if he would have stomped his hand,
I'm with
it.
You ain't ever going to use his hand to steal again.
Okay, well, let's go back.
Can we watch one more time and see exactly what kind of occurs?
And the gentlemen look a little darker from the video.
It could be grainy footage.
Why do we have to confirm the dude's black or not?
Why does that have to be the confirmation?
The video of people fighting on the internet is usually black people, I feel
like.
No, that's not true.
There's a lot of white trash out there fighting.
That's true.
It's about 70-30.
Yeah, who's fighting in the backyard?
Actually, it's 70-30.
That's true.
Who's fighting in backyards?
Is it black people fighting in backyards?
Backyards is white people.
Yeah, if you want to find the black people fighting footage, you have to look
at those officer camera footage.
Look at this.
He knocks them out.
Okay, he knocked them out.
This dude's-
Okay, one.
That's the stomp.
Okay, I'm with that.
I'm done after that one.
Okay?
You're done after four, bro?
You're a little ho, bro.
Let's see a little more.
The stomp kick, I'm done.
The stomp kick, I'm out.
But he don't know how to kick, man.
The guy has a book bag on.
Okay, well, the dude knocked him out, dude.
Does he know he's out?
Maybe the guy's still talking shit.
No, he's not.
This dude's out, man.
This dude's out.
Don't you ever wonder what he's saying.
Don't you ever-
Ooh!
Yeah, that's the one, right?
Now he's-
Yeah.
Ooh!
Oh, that's the one.
That's the one.
What is in here?
You know what I mean?
The guy can't speak again.
And now he's out.
Now he's out?
The dude was out.
But the guy might have still been jabbering like, hey, I'm going to shoot you
next time.
You know?
You don't know.
Oh, my.
The problem with a lot of these videos, you don't get audio with them.
But I say this.
What would the audio be, Theo?
Okay, you be the guy on the ground.
You kick that man.
Boom.
I think what he's trying to do is-
Boom.
Boom.
Okay, go back.
Go back.
Dang, bro.
Can you go back?
Not on Instagram.
There's no rewind.
Oh, I'm just saying that dude can fight.
That dude right there.
But the guy thought he couldn't.
The guy thought-
No, no, no.
I get you.
No, listen.
The guy's in the wrong.
The guy's a criminal.
He brought a gun to a fist fight.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm saying that dude that punched him, that dude is a fighter.
Yeah.
I mean, that was a solid pow, pow.
And that knockout punch was real.
Oh, yeah.
Okay?
So he like, good for him.
You know what I mean?
And what I'm saying is if you have that kind of skill, you're trained.
You know, that wasn't a lucky punch.
The dude had a stance.
He was like, ready to go.
He's ready to defend himself.
He's ready to defend himself.
I can't watch it again.
Oh, you can't.
Okay, we're not watching it again.
There's 600 replies to Eric's comment.
Yeah.
You should read some of them.
After the second-
These people are monsters.
Well, you commented.
Let's see.
You came in.
This is what I wrote.
After the second kick to the head, this dude is in the wrong now.
Excessive, don't you think?
Wow.
I want to say this is excessive.
I'm not saying the dude deserves it or not.
You're saying the dude is in the wrong, bro.
He tried to take this man's life.
No, no, no.
Okay.
And so what the other man did was he tried to take half of the man's life out
of him.
No, but I think he could have taken his life.
Listen, if the dude wanted to take his life, he would have shot him and then
took his money
off his dead body.
But he came at him with the-
No, I get it.
Okay.
I'm with you 100%.
All I'm saying is it's excessive.
I'm just saying it's excessive.
I'm saying like there's now video footage-
You said dude is in the wrong.
Yeah, he's in the wrong after the second kick, man.
After the second kick, yes, after the second kick, you already got him down.
Get out of there.
Call the cops.
He's down.
He's never getting up.
You have the gun in your hand.
Okay.
How about this?
I'll step back from the second kick.
He was wrong after the third kick.
The fourth kick on, that's too much.
Eight is when I started to fall back.
Because I wait till my heart folds.
When my heart folds, that's when I know I'm dumb.
And I know when the guy's working overtime.
But look at this.
This man was walking to school.
Who brought the anger?
Who brought the violence into the vision here?
Was this other man.
Oh, I agree.
So whatever's in that man, that man brought it.
Oh, I know.
He messed with the wrong dude, obviously.
So that dude had to give him a bullet's worth.
How many kicks is in a bullet?
That's what you got to figure out.
Oh, my God.
The Lord just left the studio.
Okay?
The Lord's gone now.
Look, the Lord worked, bro.
Because that guy is never going to do that again, probably.
Oh, yeah.
Who knows?
Yeah.
But that's what some of the comments.
Some of the comments, people are like, he made it so he'll never do that again.
Or what if he comes back and kills him and all this stuff.
All I'm saying is people are trying to justify what the guy did.
All I'm saying is that justification just means it was excessive.
That's all.
It's excessive.
It was a lot.
Yeah.
I don't think I would do that.
I don't think I would kick the dude in the head.
Well, how many kicks is in a bullet?
Let's figure it out.
It depends on who's kicking.
Okay.
All right?
If Eddie Bravo was kicking, I guarantee you this.
If that was Eddie Bravo, okay, it would be excessive.
Yeah.
I mean, even when-
Okay, I agree with that.
This dude was kicking with a backpack on.
He also looked Indian to me.
Did anybody else get that vibe?
Okay.
He wasn't black.
He didn't look black, so he's definitely lighter than black.
Right.
But he's headed in kind of a black di
