Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. I tell you, we've been noticing this since the lockdowns. People just fleeing both New York and California. In fact, can we get the visual up there? It's funny, Kurt Russell is a libertarian. He kind of prophesied this, I guess, with his movies. New York is a walled maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane. And we're seeing some... That's my campaign slogan. Like I said, California isn't spared. The U-Haul trucks only go in one direction. That's where you can see their license plate heading away. We actually had a problem here in New York State to where there weren't enough U-Haul trucks and people were actually having to rent them from Pennsylvania. So it was actually cheaper to go to Pennsylvania, rent the truck, and then drive it to New York to drive down to Florida. Yes. Then they had a second problem, which was there weren't enough U-Haul trucks coming back from Florida. So they had to raise the rate so they could pay to bring the U-Haul trucks back to New York from Florida, because enough weren't coming back. That's a real thing. I'm not making that up. That's a real thing. So California and New York politics great for business for U-Haul. U-Haul is like, go, Huckle, go, Huckle, go. They're loving it. They're loving it. It would be interesting to see if she's getting some funds under the table for U-Haul. If I was in the market, I'd be all about her. I'd be buying ads, the whole thing. Absolutely, 100%. I'd be buying ads, making a killing. Absolutely. Is this still an issue, Larry? I mean, we've been hearing about it for the last couple of years. It's been an issue since 2009 or 10, right? After the crash of 2008 and 2009, what most people don't know is that that's when things got really bad the first time. And the reason is, after that crash, there was really no recovery except inside the cities. Outside the cities, there was no recovery. So they still haven't recovered from 2009, right? They're still broken. So when that happened, people rushed back to cities because I think 80% of all new jobs since the crash were in 20 U.S. cities. That is how much it was just stuck to come into the city. So people rushed to the cities because of that. And because of that, the outskirts were just devastated, right? Just devastated. People weren't showing up. You look in many of these communities and there's always one big thing that runs.  And then everything else is either somehow getting a government check in some way, disabled, social security, a public assistance, or they work for a franchise. Some type of franchise association in some way she performed, right? Whether it's a fast food place or a franchise lube shop or something like that they work for a franchise. So it's government franchise, the big thing. That's how so many happen. So that's why so many states have trouble because you had to go to places where they would give you opportunity. New York state used to be a place that so much opportunity. You didn't mind the oppression because the opportunity was so great you put up with it, right? There was so much opportunity you'd put up with it. But once the opportunity goes away, why do you stay? We've lost about two to two and a half million people since 2010. So much that we've lost the congressperson and it's just getting worse. In fact, now we're losing about two to 300,000 people per year now packing and leaving. And I warned people about this two years ago. I said, actually three years ago when COVID hit, I said it's going to get so bad that people are just going to pack up and leave. They're not going to care about rent. They're not going to care about mortgage. They're just going to leave their house and go. And right now, if you go to the New York state government website, we'll find the thing called zombie houses. It's that. It's that common the government acknowledges it. That there are houses that just, they just walked away. Like people go, does everyone live there anymore? They haven't cut the lawn in like six weeks. I don't even know. And they go there and like, no one's there. They just walked away with a mortgage or with rent and Lisa said, I don't care. Come get me. I guess. Cause I'm broke. So I'm out of here. I don't care. I guess I'll see you in court. If you can drag me back to New York state, I guess I'll see you in court. They literally pack up and walk away. That's how bad it is in New York state. Is this, is this, is this phenomenon growing these zombie houses? Is this a growing phenomenon in New York right now? Yes, it is. I warned people. I said that when they do the lockdowns, that the lockdowns would crush, would exacerbate all the pain in New York state. And it'll be much worse. And I also said that, and I'm on record saying this, New York city will go below eight million and never come back. It will never come back to eight million again. And the reason is finance was already leaving New York state. In fact, the biggest, um, the biggest lobby in New York state used to be finance. Now it's real estate.  Finance. I'm sorry. Tech used to follow finance. Right. You know that. They used to follow finance. Yeah. Those days are over. Now finance follows tech. Yeah. Tech now dominates so much now that finance follows tech. Literally the New York stock exchange threatened to go to Dallas, though, Austin. That's how bad it was. Wow. Yes. Goldman Sachs threatened to go to Miami. That was the only reason why Cuomo did not do his transaction tax he was going to do because if he had done that, they'd have packed him and left. James, can I get a visual real quick while Larry's talking because this, this sort of shows that there's, there's a real cost here. I mean, aside from the, uh, aside from the social turbulence, I, you know, it says this article from center square in New York says New York loses $19.5 billion in population exodus. Yep. That's from the IRS. So this is nuts. Yeah. And all, and all the people in New York say is tax the wealthy. What wealthy? They're leaving. Can't tax them. They're going to be in Florida. They're going to be in Texas. I mean, Tennessee, those are three big states they're going to. And what's the common denominator in Texas, Florida and Tennessee? No state income tax. That's correct. No state income tax. They're all running over that. There's no tomorrow. Nashville is booming. Miami is booming. Austin Dallas. They're, everyone's going over there. Even San Antonio. They're all running over there as fast as they possibly can. More Californians go to Texas than Florida and more New Yorkers go to Florida than Texas, but they're going to those two states left and right. And there's a mix to people going to Nashville, Memphis in Tennessee. But that's what's happening. And you're correct. That's a big problem. And here's the worst part. New York state, its budget now is $220 billion. $220 billion. Only 19 countries and California have a bigger budget than New York state. Florida has more people than we have and has half our budget. Yeah. Now, when it comes to all of these states, you might think California spends the most. No California. We got you beat. New York is that California. We're number one on when it comes to being terrible. So, yes, we actually, with the exception of Alaska, now Alaska is an exception because Alaska literally writes checks to its people from its oil fund, right? Except for Alaska, we spend the most per person in the country. The most per person. And in every way you want to measure us, we always rank in the bottom 25. Always. When it comes to schools, we rank between 37 and 44 depending upon what you use. We're the highest when it comes to schools. We drop $29,000 per kid per school. So, the argument I get all the time is if you just fund it, we're not underfunded $220 billion from 180, 190 when I ran last time. $30 billion explosion and population going down and billionaires leaving. You know, this is not a good trend. And if you ask anybody what they're going to do, the Republicans go, this is a Republican answer. More cops. That's his answer. More cops. That's his answer for everything. What's a Democratic answer? More money from the feds. That's it. Democrats want more money from the feds. Republicans want more cops. Neither of them will solve this problem in any way, shape, or form. So, everything you said, you are correct. Larry, you know, I mean, you're the leaders, the political leaders of leaders. They're blind leaders. Exactly. They're leaders. Yeah. Political leaders of leaders in quotes of the state of New York cannot be blind to what is obvious. Of course. You're right. Okay. No, you're right. I mean, are they taking, are they doing anything at all to stem the tide of this obvious problem? Not at all. They are grifting while the grifting is good. They are raking in all they can before Rome burns. That's all they're worried about. They're doing nothing of any value whatsoever. You cannot find a policy that makes any sense if there even is a policy. All they do is just take more money. They are grifting like there's no tomorrow. Democratic Party has just all it does is give out more government jobs. We are making it to a New York state is going to be, I might even exaggerate when I say this, it's going to be 30% government jobs eventually. That's a socialist state that we're already about one in six. We're moving towards one in three. That's the move is keep making government jobs. If you count jobs that are not government jobs, but government contracted jobs, we're already about one in five. So we're already going down to that road where government just pays for everything. So it's really impossible. Now the Republicans, all they do is go, this is the year. That's all they ever do. And they yell, they've been yelling Democrats bad for 20 years. Sadly, suckering all the Republicans giving them tons of money. They spent $12 million in donor funds this year. And they're going to be beat by at least 15 points. The most recent poll has Republican down by 20. 20 points down. Why? Because the state's a blue state. It's not a purple state. Literally Cuomo said in 2014, I think his words, there is no room for conservatives in New York. Yeah, I remember that. Yes. He said go and conservatives said, okay, thank you. And they left in droves. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always and forever.


What's up everyone take down here welcome back to another video today. We're gonna be talking about what to watch on Netflix Let's get right into this So the first show on my list is not only one of my favorites But also Ashley's as well and that is the break in bad this show did air for five seasons And it was absolutely a lot of fun anybody that has watched the show and has been a fan of it Hopefully feels the same way when I say this show should have definitely gone on a lot longer But this show was amazing nonetheless it follows Walter White and Jesse throughout all of the crazy stuff that they do and This show is definitely going to hold your attention and be a lot of fun It definitely is not kid-friendly, but it definitely is a show worth checking out now They also did on Netflix make a Netflix original movie that is called El Camino That does follow the events of what happens to Jesse after the show ends Which is hilarious that they did this years later But it picks up right where the show ended now There is another TV show that is worth checking out on Netflix and that is called better call Saul that follows The lawyer from the break in bad show Saul Goodman and it starts off when he was trying to be a legitimate lawyer and everything that happens through those events and then how he turned out to become Saul Goodman, which is just hilarious He's one of the most favorable characters for the break in bad So the fact that he got his own TV show is amazing. This show did air for six seasons I believe not all of them on Netflix yet, but hopefully they will be very shortly The next show is going to be designated survivor. This is one of my favorites from back in the day I did watch this a long time ago, and it's still on Netflix It has only three seasons, which I definitely feel was not long enough But definitely is crazy all the different events that happen and everything that happens and for me I'm not into politics. I'm not into all that stuff But to get this show and not only do you get to see what happens and who gets selected as the Designator survivor and what happens if the tragic events that happened in the beginning of the show Happens in real life. What happens? You also get a behind-the-scenes look at two different aspects of politics Along the way, which again, I'm not into politics But the show definitely breaks it down in a very entertaining way Definitely worth checking out. Next up is going to be the walking dead This airs for 11 seasons. Not all of the seasons are on Netflix yet And I definitely feel AMC is going to be pulling that from Netflix in the next few years Especially whenever that is the only show that is on Netflix for the walking dead And they also have fear the walking dead and they also have a whole bunch of other shows now that the walking dead Main show did end. They have other shows coming out. It's just on AMC So I definitely feel this one's gonna be pulled from Netflix But it's definitely worth checking out in binging but for 11 seasons.  Again, this is only three seasons, but it really is Amazing you definitely see the drug wars in Columbia and you get to see everything that is crazy and just taking down the big kingpin was Very intense full But I actually looked at some of the research behind some of it And they did it pretty accurately of some of the events that actually happened to take down this guy They actually put in the show So it was very very close to the real thing which made it really jaw-dropping whenever you've seen some of the stuff that happens on The show next is gonna be manifest and this is definitely a thinking one. It definitely has a lot of back and forth a lot of twists and turns and is kind of Not for everybody It does go back and forth way too much than I personally like but it does keep your attention But some of the stuff are just so out there and so made up that it's like really that's the outcome of this situation So definitely want to consider but again, it's not for everybody This show did also air for four seasons which Hopefully that will be ending very soon just because a lot of the stuff that happens It's just so out there that it also makes you want to be like that wouldn't really happen in real life Would it the next show is gonna be one that a lot of the US People watching this the US viewers are gonna be like that's not on Netflix anymore But it is here in Canada and that is the office a total of nine seasons All of them are on Netflix Canada and again that might change in the future But right now we do not have peacock over here So it still is on Netflix for the foreseeable future now recently in Australia It did get pulled from Netflix over there because it went on a different platform over there So I definitely see that likely happening in the future But while I can I'm definitely gonna be checking out the office because I've watched it probably three or four times And it definitely is worth repeating because it is hilarious And it is the perfect binging show because the episodes are only half an hour I guess 20 minutes because there is no commercials But it definitely is worth checking out and watching the office in here Canada while you can Next is going to be the Witcher This is a show that only appeared for two seasons But hopefully they make a few more and it just is crazy It definitely goes off of the books and the video games But it definitely is a really very interesting show that definitely can hold your attention as well And the last show that I want to mention is going to be Swant This one does air on Netflix for six seasons. Hopefully there will be another one But it basically shows the LAPD SWAT team in everything that they do and it is crazy some of the stuff and how Spot on it is watching different videos on how the SWAT trains versus how the show is constructed They definitely did a lot of research prior to even starting the show with how they have to treat how they have to behave and All the actors did an amazing job in my opinion This show is definitely intense, but it definitely is worth checking out if you do like police shows crime shows or other shows like That's or just action-packed shows in general. This is definitely a show for you now again. I probably did miss some shows That's other people are probably huge fan of and some people probably are gonna be disappointed that I didn't mention them But this is gonna be what I absolutely love that is on Netflix and what I would recommend to watch Of course, there's other shows out there, but I definitely could have made a way longer video But I wanted to just keep something really short and put the absolute favorites on this list So hope you guys enjoyed I'll see you guys in the next one Please take care and comment down below. What is your favorite Netflix show? I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace


Okay, so let's let's go to the firmware upgrade over the air So we will start by downloading the OTA application with the stlink Then we will use our phones the ST STBLE sensor app to download the very first application into the flash and To see what's happening We can observe the the locks on the LCD or you can also open the serial via window To see even in more detail. What is what is happening? So it follows the flow of the of the of the each individual application So let's start by connecting the Nucleo To the stlink connector the dongle we will not need it anymore So this is what we did and this is how the UART locks look like So you can use a terminal window and connect to the virtual comport After we flash the OTA So please remember that on your tables you have numbers and this is important because each of you will have a separate individual Binary and that's how we will identify so open the cube programmer GUI and Try to connect first to the Nucleo and then locate the BLE underscore OTA and then your identifier and you can drag and drop it and Download it into the into the Nucleo and once you're done You should power cycle the board so unplug and replug the cable and you should immediately see something on the display Just to review what what we did We put the OTA at the bottom of the flash and it ends at address 8 million C000 The there is no application so the what OTA does it preventively erases everything which is above and It will start advertising So now it's ready to be connected with your with your phone And that's what you can do. What we want to do is put the Application which in this case will be point-to-point server and we want to store it in the phone and once you have this You connect to the OTA select the file in the application and Select the correct offset So this is this is actually the address in the flash where we want to store the point-to-point server user application You should be able to control the state of the LED by pressing By pressing that on the display When you press the first button you get a notification back to your to your phone and this This icon will light up This point-to-point server, it's actually also capable of OTA So it integrates the auto reboot characteristics in the service So that's why when you slide to the right you see this window And this is actually configuration of the auto reboot characteristic So we can specify that we request to reboot to OTA and we specify Which area to to erase I mean what what which area in flash we want to erase and After we write to this characteristics The reset is generated and OTA OTA will start So this is how we are going to flash the other other other binaries, so it's important that it that it works It's sometimes necessary to clear the cache of especially on Android So there is if you click here There is a way to clear the cache so Android for some reason it caches the devices And if you change the firmware and the Bluetooth address is the same It gets confused


We started watching him actually last year when he was at Temple and I can't claim to be the one that saw him first. Our national scout, Mike Ross, actually saw him first because he did Temple before I did and he was like, where do you see this guy? We were looking at the guys that were true seniors last year, he's like, where do you see this guy? Advocati, you have to take a look at him.   But really what stands out is just the competitive toughness, like just the excitement he plays with, the joy you see it on the film and that like for us, we watch a lot of guys, like that's fun to watch, you know, like you see the explosion and the get off, everyone talks about that. But what is hard to find or what has like, is tough to find for most college rushers is the way he uses his hands. That's something that usually like to be more refined, that takes time as a pro and he'll continue to get better, but that's something that he's really advanced at already at this stage. Just in the athleticism, the twitch, he can change direction really easily. He can do really everything that that position, what we're going to ask them to do. He's kind of ready made for all those things and Coach Monacino will only get him better. When you listen around the building and you hear the term pressure player thrown around as often as you do, I think that that's probably the reason he became such a priority in the draft at this position. There's still several really good players in the draft, but this is the one that we had tagged as the guy that we really wanted. And you see a guy that's willing to outwork his opponent for production. He had a consistent motor that ran that hot. And you see a guy that leads by example just by the tempo that he plays with. You can always tell him that you guy loves football by how he plays. You shouldn't have to ask him, right? You should be able to see it on tape and you can see it on tape. That Arnold loves ball and can't wait to get him here and get him started moving down the road to becoming something special here.


Welcome back. Welcome back. As many of my listeners know, I started in San Francisco and I went on to fame and success. I was on Evening at the Improv and I did Caroline's Comedy Hour. But, you know, I haven't forgotten where I came from. I always want to look back and bring the guys along with me, joining me from, is it Hollywood? Is that where you're going from? Yes. North Hollywood, yes. North Hollywood is a young kid I started with named Christopher Titus. You know, I figured help a brother out, as I like to say. And if you don't know who Chris Titus is, he's a very good comic. You should check him out, see him work. And that's what this show is all about, introducing my audience to comics who just kind of, you know, may not be part of the vocabulary yet. Welcome to the David Sheldman Show, Chris. Thank you, David. I appreciate you having me on, man.  I can't believe it. And by the way, I'm in my, I've been a little soundstage in North Hollywood. I live up in the Hollywood Hills now. Oh. But yeah, so I guess I still got to work.  I'm still trying though. Oh, you live up in the Hollywood Hills. So like, it's a little like. So I appreciate the help. What do you like?  No, we bought a house after I had a TV show for a little while on Fox and, and we bought a house up there. And it's, it's, you know, it's, it's not, it's nothing big. It's not like Steven Spielberg's house. It's just, it's just a house. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You said two things. And I don't think I heard you probably.  How come? No, I actually have two houses. I got a house. I have a house in the Sierras too for, to go skiing and stuff. Yeah, I had a series on Fox for three years. I was a writer on it. And that's why, you know, this will help kind of get it out there to people that I had a, had a TV show. So thanks for again, for letting me on your podcast buddy.  Where is that? Oh yeah. We're doing, we're doing some small shows. We're doing a May 4th. We're doing a Vogel Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's a theater and then the Rouse Center in Chris Lake, Illinois on May 5th. And then, and then, and then May 6th. And then, by the way, thanks for getting this out there, the Goshen Theater in Goshen, Indiana. And then, and then I'm playing a club. I'm playing a club on May 18th to 20th. The comedy works out. Then that's just, that's just a, that's just a little 450 seat that I play. So I, so you're helping. Are you okay? Are you, David, are you all right? No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Hey, Chris, Chris. Hey, good for you. Good, good for you, buddy.  I appreciate it. And you at the podcast, you're doing so well.  Thank you. Yeah.  Is that what it's, because so much good has come my way. Right.  Bring up, you're playing a theater. But how many people in the theater? Three theaters. Uh, we, uh, it's, I don't know, I think they're, it's not big. It's, I, it's like a thousand, 1100 seats each one. David? David? David? David? David? David? David, are you okay? Good for you, Chris. Good for you.  Um, I just wrote and directed a, uh, a movie that'll be, and we're gonna do another one. David? David, are you okay? A movie? David? Yeah. No, no, I think I just had a bad clam. You wrote a movie, huh? Yeah. Yeah. We did it. Uh, it's called the special unit. We, we, uh, we used actual disabled actors in it. Uh, the premise is due to the Fairness and Disabilities Act. The LAPD has to hire four handicapped undercover detectives and I play Nick Nolte's mug shot. I play the worst cop in L.A. And, uh, and we got it shot. It was my first, uh, feature and, uh, yeah, man, and we're gonna shoot another pilot in a couple months too for another TV show. I don't, hey, how are you doing? So you, uh, you wrote and directed and started in your own movie. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah. And actually the fun part about it was, yes. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. You were gonna do the fun part? Um, we, uh, yeah, fun part is I wrote the movie a while ago because we had, we did it at a pilot at Comedy Central in 2006. And I was really mad because Comedy Central said no. And it was all the disabled actors. And although Hollywood talks a great game about disabled actors, they rarely put them in. So it took me 10 years to get it made. Um, we had production dates set out of the blue. I get a phone call from Peter Farrelly from the Farrelly Brothers and he gave me script notes and I did a David. Peter Farrelly from the, go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. For the Farrelly Brothers.  He read my script and blow torched it.  Go on. Go on. In the past, I would get notes, you know, how did you feel about that? How did you feel about being rejected and spat upon by one of the Farrelly Brothers? That must have been difficult. I hope you were able to get through that. All right. Oh, it was, I almost, I have to be honest when I hung the phone up that first note section, I honestly is, but then again, it was Peter Farrelly. And I, in the past I went and listened to executives. You know, if you've never written a joke, don't give me advice on jokes. I've been doing comedy 30 years away. We started together. So when Peter Farrelly did, I did every note that he gave me. You know, I was a good boy. I went and I did everything he said. And it was interesting because he's done some of the funniest movies of the last 20 years. So I didn't, in Kingpin's one of my favorite movies, I took all his advice like a student. And then I sent it back to him and he called me again and he said, can I give you notes on the rewrite? And I was like, oh no. And at that point, my soul was literally shaved down. And so I got ready for the note session and I sat there and I was ready for him to tear the script apart again. And he called me back and he said, this is great. I have three joke notes. Oh, let's go back to when your soul was shaved and you were broken. And so it's horrible. Yeah, let's let's focus in on that. So were you depressed? Did you start drinking again? Did you have sexual dysfunction? Let's let's really explore that period where you had been rejected by one of the Farrelly brothers. And let's just talk about that for an hour, if you don't mind. How did it feel to be rejected? How did it feel? It was it was, it was, you know, I tried to focus on the fact that one of the best comedy writers of all time was kind of helping me out. But it was, it did feel, it didn't feel like rejection. He's probably the nicest guy in the world. So you doubted, so you doubted yourself. So you doubted yourself. You didn't feel you were deserving. You probably went to Las Vegas and gambled away a lot of money and went started eating food that you shouldn't be eating, stopped exercising.  Right. How did you get through that? Yeah, I went to the gym and with my trainer and I worked out and I just wrote the script and had friends help me with this. This is so inspirational that you were over, you were able to overcome this. This is so valuable for my listeners. And good for you, Chris, that you were able to rise above this. And how long did this last year? How long were you like, how well, yeah, how long did this go for rock bottom? Oh, it was an 80 page rewrite. So I mean, 80 pages that took me about, I wrote it in about nine days. Nine horrible days. And what did you learn during those nine days about yourself? What did you learn? I bet you can draw from that even today, draw from that even today. What powers did you discover that you didn't think you had during that nine day wilderness period? That I can take notes from someone who's I didn't learn. I just wrote a, I learned that you just keep that if I wrote a script, I learned, hmm, I have a writer's skill nomination for my TV show. So I know how that, yeah, don't bring that up again, please. Sorry. It was a, you know, if Peter fairly ripped my script, it probably wasn't deserved, right? It probably was probably, it was probably some sort of sham, you know, just a writer's guild of America.  So it didn't really count, right? How did that feel being rejected by your peers? Everybody loves Raymond. You started with Ray Romano, you know Ray Romano, that must have, that must have hurt seeing him win an award that was rightfully yours. How did you deal with that? Oh, I don't, well, I mean, well, I can tell you what James Cameron told me. James Cameron said that your show was brilliant. I don't really care what James, you know what, I don't need to know what James, I need to know what James, the director, James Cameron, Avatar, Titanic. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to, yeah, I don't need to know what he said. I need to, I need to know what you told yourself during this dark, dark, dark period. Excuse me for one second. I live with my mother. Hang on for one second. Can you keep it down? Can you guys keep it down? I live in my mother's basement. For reasons I don't want to get into. Can you, do you mind keeping it down, Terrence? Well, do you mind? Do you mind? Anyway, I'm We're gonna use the disposal. Okay. Hello. Yeah, hi, Chris. I'm, I'm, I live with my mother now. It's a long story.  That's, that's really nice of you, David. See, that's what I've always liked about you is that you would give.  How sweet is that? Well, technically it's not my house, I guess, yet. But I guess you could say, eventually it could be my house if I, if I mow the lawn today and clean out the gutters and yeah. So, yeah, I'm in my, my mother's, it's my mother's house, but hey, you gave up, you gave up your time to caregiver. That's great. You know what? I love about you, David. I've always loved about you. Like the, like whether it's helping me or it's when I was a young comic and now, and then helping you're moving in with your mom to help your mom out.  I think that's yeah. Like, you know, man, it's, I wish I could be more you honestly. All right.  Can I be honest with you? Sure. Okay. We started together. Yeah. Yeah. And what's become apparent to me because I don't really read the trades and I live in my own echo chamber where my mother tells me I'm perfect and it's everybody else's fault.  I feel like you misrepresent, like when you agree to do the show, I think you misrepresented yourself. I think you lied to me. I didn't know this. I didn't know what was going on in your life, quite frankly. Well, I mean, I did, I didn't lose my TV show. That's good. I lost it. I actually lost it off by smarting off to a network president. I said, I lost my TV show. Yeah. It's a little late. It's a little late to tell me that now. Don't you think?  I went through a horrible divorce too. I lost, I lost like $2 million in a divorce. Yeah, but see that horrible stuff. David, David, I'm just as the fact that you lost $2 million in a divorce. You see, that's that you can you understand how that hurts me when you say you lost. Thank you for telling me you got a divorce. I appreciate that. That was that's considerate and that was generous. Okay. But then you bring up the $2 million and do you realize what that does to me? You know, we started together and for you to say that you lost $2 million in a divorce. Can you understand how hurtful that is to somebody like me?  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not upset that you lost all that money. I'm upset that you had that much money to lose. Do you see?  Can you understand how how hurtful this is? I'm sorry. I realized I started out by being a gregarious and and and and fun and I didn't realize and happy and happy and fulfilled and fulfilled. I mean, if my second wife is 13 years younger, younger age, she's hang on. I'll clean it up, mom. I'll clean it up, mom, after I'm just doing my show, mom. Well, I had a bad, bad clam there. 13 years younger than you, huh? Wow. Yeah, she was a she was a diesel jeans model for a while now. David. Yeah, I'm okay. David, are you okay? Yeah. And what she did, Lisa recently, she's a hard worker. She's a comic now, but she she was a bodybuilder. She did those body competitions. She did the Dex caliber here in Los Angeles. So and she said she got two college degrees. David. David. David, are you okay? David. But she's educated, too. Hello. She's educated. Yeah. Her mom was a master of fine arts and she's also she was a caregiver for her mom. Her mom just passed recently. And so she's I've kind of married. So amazing combination of like, just a model and and honestly, like, literally a Martin Luther King as Don Diaz woman. She's like, she's a girl. I swear to God, it's weird. Oh, dude, you're killing me, man. I couldn't. I couldn't. I had my shirt in my face. Let's do this. Let's take a quick, let's take a quick break. Let's take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to catch up with one of my oldest friends. Unfortunately, we'll be right back. The slurs and to keep playing like trying to be positive accidentally slipping more good stuff. Welcome back. We're talking to my old buddy, Chris Titus. And hey, so in all seriousness, I am at my mother's and you can hear them talking in the background. Look, have a little respect. Can you hear them in the background? I can hear it. It does sound like you're literally at Thanksgiving dinner at your mom's. Yes. And I politely said, Hey, can you keep it down? I'm talking to it. They don't that nobody care. Nobody cares about anything other than themselves in this country, right? That is true. Oh my God, in this country, man, narcissism, I think cell phones have ruined our society and we elected the most narcissistic human being on the planet to be president selfies. There's no themies and usies. Tell your kids to get to take themies and usties because we need to get they need to get friends. Yes.  It's pure passive aggressive behavior. It's the definition of the improper. Yeah, I think that that I really enjoyed the I'm just going to use the disposal that made me laugh really hard. I had my shirt in my face and I was shaking. You're doing a bit that your mom jumped on board this bit. It's just out of the blue. It was like an improv troupe on your side. I have Mark Pitt on the show today. So he and he is very interesting, besides being really funny. He's kind of a historian when it comes to the San Francisco comedy scene. And you know, I don't like going down memory lane. Some people do and I got bodies there. I got no, I got bodies. I got bodies in memory lanes. So I don't like to go down it at all because we started out at the same time. And I'm going to tell you what I thought of you.  I want to bring up Jake Johansson, who I have to have on the show because he was my guy. Right. He was the guy I started with. And Dennis Miller, right, says every comic has the guy who they're competitive with. They compare their careers.  And I would get these calls from my father going, have you seen this guy, Jake Johansson? I saw him on Letterman.  He tells stories. And then just builds these, building these houses and hanging jokes inside of them. It's so sophisticated. Thanks, dad. Who was your guy? Was there somebody you started with who you measured your career against? Please say it was me. It was actually, it was you and Bubbs. It was you and Bubbs at the beginning. And then as I got, then I flipped hard to Carl and Ron Williams. But it was when I was in that group, I'm not kidding, in that group, I was, you and Bubbs were doing, there was a, there was a moment in time when you and Larry Bubbles Brown grabbed onto Bobby Bitter and Feldo. And then Bob Rubin came in.  And I, you know, when people talk about the alternative scene down here in LA, I always think, no, I actually saw the real alternative scene in San Francisco. It started, you know, and Patton came out of that too. Your jokes were always, I think you, Will Durst, and a couple guys I would look to as, maybe you and Will Durst really, how to write a concise joke. That was a big deal. You and Bobby and Bubbs too, where I just, I kind of learned how to cut it down by watching you guys. So, you know, and this is not BS, the bit we were doing.  I was just, I was, God, I can't, I see pictures of me back then and I just go, it just makes me shudder. So, so you and you guys were, you guys were nice to me. You were like one of the few people that didn't slam me and Monty Hoffman. I never wanted to fight a grown man more than Monty Hoffman. You're the second.  Pitta just, on the show, Pitta brings up Monty Hoffman. That's interesting. He passed away, you know. Yeah. He's the only guy that when I heard he passed away, I was like, I just went to my list and crossed him off because I hate him on the list. You know what I, this is, I shouldn't, I, I may, I may take this out. No, I don't.  You can leave it for me. I'm that guy.  I may take that out. I may take that out.  You know what? The thing with Monty is there are two types of people in San Francisco. Those who, well, that's not fair because women, you know, I'm going to, you know, I got along with Monty and there were certain people who did get along with Monty. If you were a woman, your experience with Monty was kind of different. And I guess there is the sanctimony that comes with white privileged men like me who don't understand what women at Fox News or in the San Francisco comedy scene went through. You know, there's this sanctimony, because I got along with Monty because I didn't have anything he wanted. And I would just say, you know, it's interesting. I apologize, Chris. I'm just, my mind is wandering, but I'm thinking out loud. It's like, I had this self-sanctimony where I go, you know, I got along with Monty. I understood him. Yeah. Well, he didn't, he didn't come in and grab your pussy, though. He didn't like, so I would watch him outside club sometimes. And it was, I've never seen this behavior in a man to this day until we elected the new guy. Monty was this guy who would, and I remember standing out and maybe that we always hang out in front of that punchline sometimes on open mics.  Hey, you want to blow me? Hey, and he would like, it was just incredible scatter going to approach. And every once in a while, every one of 120 would stop and go, go, hey, what's your problem? And he would talk to him. And next thing you know, he's, he's with that girl. I never saw, he didn't pick and choose. He just, whatever, if it was female and had nipples, he walked up to him, he was hitting on it and, and he was gross and some women just went for it. So, but I agree with the white product.  And Monty was part of the problem. I mean, literally, literally assaults and harassment went down 22% when Monty died. And that is the problem with the human condition. I know women, somebody I really respect, a very spiritual woman in the Bay Area who protected Monty, defended Monty. We all have our narratives. And then there are the facts, your honor. We live in a Christian culture. It's all about forgiveness and understanding, but some things are, you know, and we're asked to forgive and understand successful people or, you know, Monty was funny. Monty was really funny. So we found it, some of us found it in our heart to forgive.  He was a Vietnam vet. He went through hell. And then there's the bottom line. If you're a woman, how did he treat you? What did he do? And that's the truth that has to be addressed. And when you have white heterosexual male privilege like I do, you, I didn't see any of this stuff. So it was like, well, here's the thing. I got treated because I was a young kid who was trying to come up. Monty treated me like I was the new chicken that just got led into prison. I was always treated like that. Monty never backed off me. I saw him do something to Jake one night. We were doing, I think it was the first or second Sounds Comedy competition. And you know, Jake, I think it was the year, it was the year that Jake was smoking it. Like he had done it before, but there was one year where, I think didn't Jake, Jake won it one year, right? Yeah. Yeah. And every night he was destroying. And what I saw Monty do, we're all backstage, we're getting ready. I'm out of it. I think I made the, I never made, I don't think I ever made the semis in it. And, and Jake, Jake was killing it.    Like, do you know how we all like, we would all give each other shit? Are you going to wear that? But it wasn't like that. It had that other level to it where Monty was dead serious. And Jake just put his headphones in, turned and walked away.  And that's, that's, that's my problem. I, like I break balls, but I got your back. Monty break balls, didn't have your back. I think that's the difference. I have to be honest with you about Monty. I remember doing the comedy competition always coming in the last. And I remember, boy, I don't know what this says about me. I can just smart, man. I know, but I can remember pairing up with Monty at the comedy competition. He was like my, he was my comedy competition buddy. And you know, I've, I've blocked. You know why? Why? Why? You always had glasses on. You were always, I'll tell you why. You were always kind of, you were the intellect of the comics in San Francisco at that time. You were the crazy intellectual one. You were the one that had the smartest political jokes.  There was nobody else. I don't think anybody was pushing what you were pushing. Monty was the opposite end of the spectrum.  And I don't think you, I don't think he was ever threatened by your comedy because your comedy was so smart. And your comedy is so smart and above everybody's.  Back to your father. My dad, everybody he saw on TV, he went, you're not that guy. So it wasn't just Jake. My dad, anybody who, when I started comedy, who he saw on TV, it was like, you're not that guy. That guy's way better than you. So don't, don't feel bad that your dad went one guy. My dad went after everybody. You told me he was, everybody was better than I was. So that's why I think Monty, Monty identified with you because you, you never, you were never in Monty's wheelhouse, you know, in Monty knew that Monty knew he would, there was nothing he was going to write. There was nothing he was going to come up with. You weren't taking his women because you're, you're always such a solid cat. There was something about, I get totally get why you hung out with Monty, but it was really Monty hanging out with you. You didn't pick Monty. Okay. And he behaved around you and he behaved around me. See, I never saw it. He did because you were that. That's interesting. You were that guy. When you came, we all kind of, it was, when you came in the room, it was kind of like of that era because I was, I was on the outside screen, even, even when Ruben was around, you know, Ruben even mellowed out around you. Like the craziest guys in comedy when you came in the room kind of chilled out. It was almost like the assistant principal had walked into the room. Exactly. And that's the same goes for the audience. The audience, the audience chilled out and I was the cooler. That was the problem. I used to stand in the back. I would sit in the back. I would stand whenever you walked on stage. There's a lot of guys I, you walked out to watch. Some guys I didn't care. There was some guys, Bobby Salem, I didn't walk out to watch. Slate and I would come out to watch sometimes when he would come. But he was already moved to LA. If Bubbs was doing, I'd come out to watch Bubbs. I'd come out to watch you because you were a writer. You would always come up with new stuff. I'd learned from you guys. I would watch, I would come out to watch Bob Rubin only because I wanted to see what the hell is he going to do now. But you guys, I would come out to watch you because of your writing. Now you're performing. But you're writing. Right. No, I agree with you. I agree with you. That was always the, who said this to me? Somebody said to me.  It's true.  You're not a performer. Well, that's, that's, I- But I'll give you a compliment. You're not ugly, David. I'll give you a compliment in a second. Before I ask you about Bob Rubin, would you say of all the comedians- No, I want to hear how bad I was. I, I'm not going to say you- It's not going to be- No, I'll give you a compliment because you were great the minute you stepped on stage.  You stepped on to the stage. The audience instantly liked you. You understood that this was show business. You were young and you weren't clickish because the click will always leave you behind. You know, you never played to the back of the room.  I was so concerned about what Larry thought and what my friends thought in all honesty.  You know, when Rob Schneider left the click, it was like, why would you do that to me, Rob? Why, why did you go on Letterman? Well, you know, Jake, why did you win the San Francisco Comedy Competition? Don't you realize what that does, not just to me, but our click? You think you're better than everybody? Who do you think you- But you got it from the beginning that this is business and you took acting lessons and singing lessons and dance, dance lessons and movement lessons. And those movement lessons really work because you moved away. And you, you know, you got the idea that the- Oh, I got it. I'm setting a lease in LA. It's not new. But you got it. You understood something that the audience wants to be entertained. This is show business. This isn't about David and Larry working out their girlfriend issues, right? I got really, yeah. I got really early on that. You guys would do that.  You want to be the guy that will make the comics in the back of the room. But part of me, I would watch you guys do that. And then when Monty would laugh or Bubs would laugh at you or the other guys, I realized that Monty wasn't paying your bills. And I realized that I want to- You got to remember, I didn't have any other skills. I was a DF student in California Public Schools. This was my shot. This was all I had. I gave myself four years when I started back then. And I said, if I don't make it in four years, I will go to trade school become a welder because that's what was going to happen. I have no skills. You guys were obviously all educated. Bubs had an engineering degree. And I knew I was fucked. And the audience smells that. And I was instilled by my father. Yeah, the audience smells that. And that's why they love you. They smell that. Because I fear in desperation. Exactly. The audience. Yeah. But I'm being serious that the audience, if you weren't a feat, you know? Right. And the audience doesn't like somebody who doesn't need it. I always wanted. Go ahead. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I thought I was desperate for a while. I thought for a while I performed very desperately. And then when I wrote Norman Rock was bleeding once I got to LA, I realized the less I cared about what the audience thought, the better I was. But it took me 12 years to find that. It took me 12 years to find that the best thing. It's such a fine edge. And I tell comics all the time, give me some advice comedy.  They can't do it. They're in their seats.   I mean, that's that fine line between, I don't care what you think. Here's what I think.  So and you have to, it's such a weird razor edge.  And also I love these people at the same time. It's such a bizarre, such a bizarre thing. And instead I've learned about comedy. I never had that. I have it with the podcast because I don't have to worry about the laughs. Right. But on stage, if they're not laughing, I go into panic mode. So what convinced you, I guess it's doing the one man show, right? That's not stand up. That's a whole other thing. Right. Well, that's the problem is that like, I saw a lot of guys do one man shows and they forgot to be funny. And I will watch, I always try to watch what works and what doesn't work. I go watch a lot of comics. And I saw Lily Tomlin do signs of intelligent life in San Francisco down in the Tengeloin. And I remember thinking, wow. And she's kept it so funny. There weren't these big pauses. It was just joke, joke, joke, joke on top of having a story. So when I wrote Norman Rockwell, the one thing that I committed to is it has to be at least as funny as stand up. And if I'm funny, if it's as funny as stand up for an hour and 20 minutes, then I've bought myself the right to take three minutes and punch the audience in the order as hard as I can. And then I have to be funny again. So what wasn't, Norman Rockwell was joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. But I think a lot of comics, when they hear the word a one man show, they believe that is just carte blanche to not be funny. And I think it's the opposite. I think if you're gonna have to pretense and be a pretentious douchebag that you're gonna do a quote one man show, you better make sure that it holds up in any comedy club in the country. And that's how I developed Norman Rockwell. I didn't go rent theaters. I toured it with comedy clubs first to make sure that it was funny. And then once I put the theater on top of it, once I rented a theater and put it in a theater, it took on a whole extra, an extra power to it. It took on this extra weight.  That requires a lot of diss. Have you ever not, have you ever not been disciplined? Has there ever been a period? I don't think I'm very disciplined. I mean, I, it's all, yeah. I mean, when I was a DS student, I couldn't graduate. I didn't graduate. The joke I do in my new shows, I didn't, I didn't graduate. I was let go. I'm the only senior that was laid off from high school. I, so I got out. I actually had to go back after I graduated to get three more credits to get my diploma. So I was, I realized I was really, and I talk about this in my new, in my new set on Marageddon. I really wasn't disciplined at all. And, but I loved comedy. Like I wanted to be a comic since I was five years old. Mm hmm. And I loved comedy. And I used to listen to Cosby and I would just, and Cosby was so disciplined. And then I would watch, then I, then I got into Robin to the point where like I was obsessed with Robin Williams. Do you remember there was a guy who did how he did it? Do you remember there was a comic who came on the scene who did Robin and didn't realize it? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yep.  I was hosting, I was hosting open mic down at the last laugh in San Jose and he got on, and I, and he got on stage. He got on stage, David, with the suspenders. Like one point, look, if you could- Kermit, was it Kermit something? Somebody, he got on suspenders. No, no, no. Was that, no. No, it was a dude. He wasn't around, he was, he wasn't around long. He got off stage.  And you know why?   And so, and you guys found it first and that's the magic of comics and that's why you can't steal from comics. You can't steal. Like we all have dads, we all have moms, we all have kids, whatever. You can write those jokes, but when someone finds it, like it, tell.  I busted Carlos Mencia, I watched Carlos Mencia do want to deal Hugh Glees jokes in Vegas. I watched him do it. I stood in the room and watched him. So I know that guy's a thief. Carl, let me say it again, Carlos Mencia is a, this is after South Park roasted him. I watched him do it.  Would you call Joe Rogan? Yeah, he could, he could, Joe. Would you call him on Thievery? A thief? No, I'm saying, not that he's a thief, but I'm saying if he just, if he decided to be a thief, No, he's not at all. I know that, but I'm saying since he knows mixed martial arts, would we call him a thief if he stole something? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you, if you're a comic and you step into, and by the way, I'm about to get really precious about comedy right now, so please you can edit this out you want. The comedy is magic, here's why. Comedy is the only thing that we, like you can play music all day long and sit in a room and talk and drink and whatever, and oh that's a good song, I'm gonna dance to that. Comedy is the only art form that actually has to create a physical reaction in the person listening to it. So the magic of it is, is it has to actually, it has to, and I'm sorry to get precious about it, but it literally has to fire something in your brain that makes you physically react. You have to start laughing.    It's not, it's not okay, it's not okay. It's too hard, it's dude, some of the jokes you've written, like if I saw them stealing your stuff, I would do the same thing, I would just, I take it too, maybe I take it too seriously, because some comics don't care. They don't care.  I know, I know. That was like, that, that's, that joke, I didn't, I didn't even go, ah, but here's, so Rogan, that was just one piece. So, but here's what happened with Mencia. So Mencia, I didn't believe it, until I started going online, and someone had started posting stuff from his album. When I ran into Carlos in Vegas, I walked right up to him and I said, hey man, and I go, how's everything going? He goes, what do you mean? And I go with all the stealing, and I don't know Carlos, that was, that was literally our first two sentences.  I go, no, I go, I said, I said, no. I said, honestly, I said, I saw you steal. He goes, I said, not the wall joke. I said, I saw you do the Bill Cosby football piece. You know, the kid about, he's, and his dad helps him. He, he did it on one of his specials. And I said, I saw that piece. That's not your piece. And he, and here's what he says, here's, here is a sociopath. Carlos doesn't say, yeah, I should, Carlos says to me, we're standing in Vegas, talk face to face. So this isn't a, this isn't a hearsay story. This happened.   He goes, you know, we filmed that bit on the special and then we cut it out of the special on Comedy Central. And then when they released the DVD, one of the editors put it back in, man. That's what happened. Wow. He never once said a shit, never have done Cosby's bit. Right.  And I was like, no, that's wrong.  Then he went on stage at the Dirty at 1230 at the South Point and did a joke. And I'll say this about Carlos. I get why Carlos works. Carlos is an amazing performer. That dude, confident and the way he says things and he can get an audience fired up. Man, he's got everything that Trump has. He can just get an audience fired up and they don't know what they're fired up about. So I watched him and then I was driving home and I watched him do a set and I didn't see anything. But I remembered a couple of jokes that were killers. As I'm driving home, I listen to Comedy Central records and I got radio on Unserious. I'm driving home from Vegas back to LA.  I'm listening to DL, I know DL. And he does the joke. And I called DL, I go, DL, is that your joke? He goes, yes, my joke. I said, I saw Carlos do that the other night in Vegas. He just said, DL just goes, thanks for telling me, bro. So that's where it is. That's where it is for me. And again, I don't mean to make comedy precious. And you guys, I started with, I mean, I looked back. I was such the odd man out. I think we all, maybe we all felt like that, but I really felt like the younger than everybody. Oh, you were a kid. You were a kid. I didn't really fit in. You were a kid.    Let me say goodbye to my mommy and my sister. Bye, mommy. Bye. Okay. Sorry, we didn't have, okay. I have the, my parents, I have this nightmare scenario where I'm, I never left New York. I'm living in my mother's basement and I never get married. I never have kids. She lets me live in the basement and I'm the best son. And she just brags about me. Then I put her to bed at 11 o'clock every night or 10. And then I sneak off and I meet young men at the bus station and do horrible things. You know, not sexual. There's like weird. And then I'm at all night and then I come home smelling of another man's cologne. But I bring my mother a bi-ali, a coffee, and the daily news. And she says, you're such a good son. You're such a good son. And then one day the police come. And they say, boy, if these walls could talk. And suddenly the walls are talking because they're, you know, men saying, let me out, let me out, let me out. And some are, some are just bodies. Some are just bodies, David. I know that, that is, that, but dude, so, so, I mean, I remember, like, I remember I was kind of obnoxious at that age. I was really fired up. I was trying to compete with all you guys and it was impossible.  I was 19. I don't know how old you were back then. It's, that's a huge, that's literally 15 years of development, three or four years. Oh, and it's also, yeah. And also you guys had paid bills. What happened after four years? You said you gave yourself four years. What happened? I was living in the Lower Hates and I was eating one piece of pizza a day. I said, if I could make a living at it, I was making one piece of pizza a day.  And, but I was making, but I was making enough money to pay my bills. I wasn't doing well.  And I was just making enough money. And then I started calling around the country and basically kind of threatening club owners going, listen, listen, I go, anybody, you put anybody in front of me and I would just go crazy on the phone. I was so, I don't, it was, it was all fear. It wasn't arrogance.  You know, you know, at the time I look back, like I was probably, they were laughing at what I thought was a good money. And, and I would say if I, if I have one bad show, and I did this in Seattle too, if I have one bad show, don't pay me. And I never didn't get paid. So that's how I, that's how I kind of broke into some of those clubs. Wow. You wanted it and you made it happen. You wanted it badly enough. Yeah. Interesting. That's how the movie got done. That's how the movie got done the same way I decided. I learned something. I did a thing called the Landmark Forum. And I learned something that you don't, you don't wait for the thing to happen. You decide that thing's going to happen and then it starts to happen. Bill Hicks, I remember standing with him at the improv in LA and he was telling me about the forum. But what is Landmark Forum? What is that? Just a class. It's a three day class. You can look it up to do it around the world. And basically they've studied human beings for 5,000 years. What made Hitler? Hitler? What made Gandhi? Gandhi? You know, why is Trump Trump? And they, and we're all the same machine. So we're all blood, bone, hair, and we all have anger. Even our emotions are all the same. So everybody thinks we're so special, but the reality is we're really not. And so what they did was they kind of broke it down. Why, how people react and why some people are successful and some people aren't. And it teaches you to operate your life not out of your past, which is we all do.  So instead of looking backwards, trying to move forward, you're actually looking towards a goal and it just changes your life. And by the way, if Hicks did the forum, I so get Hicks even more now. It teaches you to take a stand for what's right and what you want to do. Oh hang on for one second. Let me, let me, I would never speak for Bill Hicks. I don't know if he did the forum or he was complaining to me about a woman he was dating who did the forum. And I think I get her to do it. No, no, no, no. I think I think he was dating a woman and he was complaining that she did the forum as I remember it. So I don't, I don't. I would never ever, I will never ever speak for Bill Hicks. I just remember. Yeah, I just, I think he was dating a woman who was trying to get him to do the forum. The interesting thing is that if he didn't do it, if the interesting thing is if he didn't do it, the way he performed on stage and the stuff he did is very forum-esque. It used to be Est is what it is. Do you know what Est was? It was at Werner Erhard. Yes, yes, yes. Werner left with Est. The company that bought it renamed it and then it became Lamar Formia. Yeah, and my wife has taken it and then that's when I got the movie done and that's how I got my own TV show. Like I did, I wasn't going anywhere and I took the forum and then two years after that I had Titus. You know, I have no, I have a D.F. student. I have a writer's skill nomination. It all happened because of what I learned in the forum. Well, hang on for once again. And now I actually run a studio. Did Werner Erhard create the forum or was it, is that him? Yeah, it was Est. It was Est and then they keep modifying. They don't just leave it as is. They keep making it better and better. Yeah, Werner Erhard created Est. Est became Lamar Form, same technology. They keep moving it every year and they keep making it better every year. Is it still around? Yeah, my wife's done it.  They say it's one of the top 10 experiences of your life. If you look on the web, it's not religious. It's not political. It's just how do human beings become successful and how do human beings become not successful? And they don't use the word successful. They use, you know, what are some of the language? Self-actualized, self-realized. Not even, it's not that far. It's transformative. Like it's literally transformative a moment to moment of what you think. Scientology for people who aren't gay. Yes. No. But yes. Supposedly, supposedly, the rumor is that once his face, Elrond had put a hit out on Werner Erhard. That's why he had to sell the form and that's why that story that was definitely proved to be wrong in 60 minutes came out of Elrond. Because Elrond Hubbard, it was basically our friends and there was the same technology and Elrond Hubbard wanted to make a church out of it to make money and Werner Erhard said, no, we just want to have people give access to a different life. We're not a church. And then Elrond Hubbard said, yes, we are from billions of years ago. The Theatons and Werner Erhard went, oh, fuck, I'm leaving. And he left and then they put a hit out on him. And that's part of the reason. The rumor is that it's a rumor. The rumor is that's why Werner Erhard, they were friends and then Werner Erhard started S. And that's when Scientology started and then, you know, Scientology is now what it is and the form is what it is. But it's an amazing technology. His name is, he's Rosenberg. He's Rosenberg, right? It's Werner. Wasn't his name Rosenberg? Probably. So he's a Jew. Is that what you're saying? Is that what you're saying? David, is that what you're saying? That he's a Jew? I'm saying that. Now he's a Jew. Are you calling him a Jew on the podcast? I'm saying that. He's a Jew is what you're saying. He's a Jew. I think that he, I think what I'm saying is that his real name is Rosenberg. Jew! Jew and as was Ayn Rand. I think her last name was Rosenberg. Now the question is, was Elrond Hubbard? I doubt Elrond Hubbard was. Yeah, his name is Steinmitz. I think it was Elrond Steinmitz. Well, now you've got me all...  Hey, this was, thank you for doing this. Let's plug it. Let's believe it or not, I have some listeners. I know it's hard for you to believe, but I actually have listeners. And honestly, I've done some podcast. That first thing we did was some of the funnest thing I've done. I literally had fabric in my mouth because I was trying not to laugh. I was like, when you started freaking out and puking, I was like, I was shaking so hard. It's really funny. So May 4th. May 4th will be a vocal hall in Milwaukee. May 5th at the Rowe Center in Crystal Lake, Illinois. May 6th, the Goshen Theater. And then May 18th to 20th, Comedy Works Out. I'm working on a whole new show. It's all about the election in Trump. It's called Amerageddon. In my movie, a special unit, you can go to my website, christenbratis.com. Check out the trailer for the movie. It's really funny. Billy Gardell is in it. He's waiting for me right now. Oh, wow. Billy Gardell is in this movie. And he plays his character. He plays the police chief. His character is four seconds from aneurysm, a whole movie. And it is so ridiculously funny. And so we're actually looking for a distributor right now on that. And that's it, man. And thanks for having me on, dude. And the Titus podcast. And I have the Titus podcast. If after you're done listening to the amazing David Feldman podcast, you can go to listen to the Titus podcast. OK. And very quickly, I just want you to know, I forgive you. I forgive all your success. Thank you. I forgive all your thanks, buddy. You're great. Thank you. Thanks, David. Bye-bye. Thank you. Bye-bye.
