1:11 Does she know that?

1:12 She knows that.

1:12 We've talked about it.

1:14 Okay.

1:14 Yeah.

1:14 Me and I never really talked about it.

1:15 I just got her pregnant first.

1:17 Such a better way.

1:19 Yeah.

1:20 Oh, I'm sorry.

1:20 Now we have to You're That's actually what my dad did to my mom

1:24 for real.

1:24 Yeah.

1:25 He was like, "I need to lock this down.

1:26 I need to I need to get her pregnant." And my brother Yeah.

1:30 He was the lockown.

1:31 I I have a lot in common with your dad cuz you don't want you want to make

1:34 sure you don't want to make uh what did I what was uh there was a comedian.

1:38 I want to say his name.

1:39 And maybe it's the hardest I've ever laughed.

1:40 And I if I'm only saying this because I don't want

1:43 no I'm not I'm not even going to say his name.

1:45 It was a joke.

1:46 I'll tell you right now.

1:46 I'll edit it out though.

1:47 Just bleep it out everything.

1:50 One time went on stage and he goes,

1:51 "I'm dating because no one goes to the store to buy."

1:55 Oh my god.

1:57 Okay.

1:57 Just show that response and bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep everything.

2:01 Okay.

2:01 No.

2:01 No.

2:02 And so, uh, I mean, I wanted to make sure that, you know,

2:07 is that so it's so funny?

2:09 And by the way, can I tell you when he said it,

2:10 I don't think he was trying to be funny.

2:13 Yeah.

2:12 I think he was being himself.

2:14 And that's the funniest with comedy.

2:17 I have so much in common with you in so many ways.

2:20 Uh that uh artistically I I find what you're doing fascinating.

2:27 You talked about you have talked about um how you got

2:31 kind of bored of uh is it house music or Yeah.

2:34 And so you had to kind of reinvent yourself

2:36 to to find interest in it to enjoy house music again.

2:39 Yeah.

2:39 And I think with standup that is did that happen to you?

2:42 100.

2:42 I mean, I I get to a point where I have to I have to watch old specials,

2:47 see if I told that joke.

2:48 And then I was like, well, if I'm doing that, that's not great.

2:51 I don't think I'm growing.

2:52 That is okay.

2:53 That's so funny cuz um like even for like DJ sets,

2:56 I'll be like, "Oh my god, I've been playing this song for so long.

2:59 I'm like I'm like complacent with myself right now where

3:01 I'm just doing the same thing over and over until

3:04 someone calls me out." So that was something where

3:06 in my mind too where I was like, "Okay, this is bad.

3:08 I need to go and like figure out how to reinvigorate that fire in you where

3:13 you're like you're young and like oh my god

3:15 this is the greatest thing in the world.

3:16 The funniest thing I've ever heard you say was

3:18 that you go sometimes you envision the drop in your house

3:21 and then you do it to a audience and you're

3:22 like that wasn't what I thought it would be.

3:24 That's the that's the closest thing to[ __] having a joke

3:27 where you're like this is going to be a banger

3:29 and then it comes out and you're like[ __] I guess.

3:31 Dude, I have to give it to all comedians

3:33 that do standup cuz I like I love comedy so much.

3:37 We know that.

3:37 and love it.

3:39 You are You are extremely funny.

3:41 Thank you.

3:42 I appreciate that.

3:42 You are extremely funny.

3:43 You are.

3:44 And I I wonder do you ever wonder how much

3:47 of your comedic personality played a part in in your success?

3:52 Huge.

3:53 I mean, I I kind of came up as social media was was starting to bud,

3:58 but it was like, you know,

3:59 Twitter was the only thing where it was someone like, I'm eating a salad.

4:02 That's and that's what you put up on on there.

4:04 Um a lot of shits.

4:06 Me and Tom were just posting us taking shits.

4:09 Yeah.

4:09 For a long time.

4:10 I mean, that's a great series.

4:11 I actually did one of those series recently.

4:12 It bombed on Instagram, but I took a picture in Japan of every place

4:15 that I took a[ __] and it did not do well.

4:18 And I put the locations, too.

4:19 So, it was like, "Hey, this is a great place to poop."

4:21 First time I ever took a[ __] in Japan.

4:23 Uh I

4:25 Best Bathrooms, by the way.

4:26 Best bathrooms.

4:27 Taking a[ __] I I've told this before.

4:29 Uh I took a[ __] so aggressive the dude in the stall next to me threw up.

4:34 And and this is the tag to that true story.

4:38 It was Japan, so I thought he was talking to me.

4:41 He was like, AND I WAS LIKE, I don't have toilet paper.

4:44 If you press the button, it'll spray your ass.

4:47 That's a true story.

4:48 And then I And Stacy was with me.

4:50 St.

4:50 The one you just met downstairs was with me.

4:53 The second worst[ __] I ever took was in Colorado with her.

4:57 And I drink I And I figured out what it is.

5:00 It's raw eggs.

5:00 If you eat a raw egg, Oh, yeah.

5:02 It's like[ __] sewage.

5:04 It's so bad.

5:06 And by the way, it's I've never swallowed[ __] but I'd imagine it's

5:09 what swallowing[ __] feels like cuz it's in your throat for a while.

5:12 For sure.

5:13 Yeah, that definitely the the consistency is is very similar.

5:17 Yeah.

5:17 Um what how do we get on this subject?

5:19 I don't know.

5:20 Um no, your personality and and Twitter and you got uh Yes.

5:25 No, we were posting pictures of[ __] We were posting pictures of[ __]

5:27 You were in Japan.

5:28 You took pictures of[ __] Yes.

5:29 But okay.

5:30 Yeah.

5:30 So, we were saying that I kind of came up in the beginning of social

5:33 media where like Vine came around and I I went to this school locka

5:38 and I had this class called new genres and the guy that was our teacher

5:41 was like anything is art and I was like well also[ __] that school.

5:46 They didn't let me transfer to the um

5:48 to the acting department even though I got in.

5:50 My grades were just too low in the visual arts department at the time.

5:54 Really?

5:54 Which makes no sense.

5:55 Like if my grades suck that much, wouldn't you be like,

5:57 "Yeah, he should go to the theater department."

6:00 Yeah.

6:00 You'd think I mean I I don't think when I watch the Oscars,

6:03 I don't think like it's the interesting thing about It's

6:06 the interesting thing about Oscar speeches when you talk politics.

6:09 I don't think anyone looks at actors and goes, "Look at these[ __] brainiacs."

6:15 Yeah.

6:14 I just look at a bunch of 104s like

6:16 I was a 104 trying to get into theater just so I could sing,

6:19 you know, and do Hamlet or whatever it was that was being the play.

6:23 Can can I ask you your musical in influences as a child?

6:29 Yeah, my dad would just he would play what was it?

6:32 Uh what was the radio station?

6:35 It was like the oldies classics radio station 91 something.

6:40 Anyways, the song would start and he he would always

6:42 try to quiz us and be like what who is this?

6:44 And it would be like either Led Zeppelin, Jimmyi Hendris.

6:46 So, growing up, I listened to a lot of old classic rock.

6:49 And then when I was in my teen, I feel like This is Every guy.

6:53 They like start smoking a ton of I started smoking a ton

6:55 of weed and listen to like Philadelphia hiphop with like people scratching.

6:59 And then from there, I think I started listening to a lot of metal.

7:03 And then my friend Aean, he was the one that got me into dance music actually.

7:08 Yeah.

7:08 Um he was playing a remix of Metallica in the car and it was Seek and Destroy.

7:13 And I was like, it took, you know,

7:15 the angst when you go to shows and you're just like,

12:31 And I brought Leonard Skard and I had Diplo DJ at the end

12:35 and then I went and saw him at South

12:37 Beach Food and Wine Festival and I and I did

13:08 Dave Matthews showed up around there.

13:09 Fish, the dead, all of that.

13:11 Dave Matthews,

13:12 Dave Matthews,

13:13 I got to witness it.

13:15 The first generation.

13:17 So it's like after it's like watching someone make fire.

13:19 The first time you see someone make fire, you're like,

13:21 "Holy fuck." By the hundth time they make fire, you're like, "Yeah,

13:25 I know it's fire." Like there was a period where everyone's like,

13:27 "It's Dave." Well, you still you're still going to Dave shows.

13:30 We're like, yeah, he still[ __] rocks.

13:31 They're like, but now it's now it's back to the going to Dave.

13:34 We're going right.

13:36 And he puts on such an amazing show.

13:39 Yeah, that's it's so funny.

13:41 I've I've like Diplo had this in his career where it was like,

13:44 "Oh, we're going to Diplo.

13:45 Oh, you're going to Diplo?

13:46 Oh, you're going." And now he's back at the like, "Oh, you're going to Diplo.

13:49 Okay, I'm going, too." My wife watched Diplo at Daytona 500 and said,

13:57 "This is the best thing I've ever seen." And she d she danced so hard.

14:02 I was on stage with them.

14:03 I was dancing.

14:04 Someone has to have a horrible video of that.

14:06 But I was only on stage because it was my festival.

14:09 So, I wanted to I didn't want to hide, you know?

14:12 I wanted to be out there and show you everyone it's okay to dance.

14:16 Uh, thank you for that.

14:16 I'm sure I want to break down I want

14:18 to break down uh the stage of a DJ real quick, but my wife came up to the stage.

14:23 She goes, "I'm don't feel comfortable dancing here." So,

14:25 she went in the back and danced with by herself and her dad.

14:30 That's amazing.

14:31 And um and Diplo's dad and my wife's dad could be brothers.

14:36 Yeah, I could see that.

14:37 Yeah.

14:37 Um the a DJ stage.

14:40 Mhm.

14:40 How do you how do you choose who goes up there?

14:43 I mean, I usually don't even let anybody up there for real.

14:45 Now it's changed where it's like the whole the whole

14:47 vibe is the like who is behind you now.

14:49 I think it's just the people that go the craziest.

14:51 I don't want any of the people that are like lame influencers.

14:54 I want to see I want people dancing.

14:56 I don't want people I want like I want people headbanging.

15:01 Yeah.

15:01 I want them to be like this is the greatest night of my life.

15:03 It's it was interesting to see who was filming who was there for the moment.

15:08 Who was It's sad when you see someone who

15:10 goes like I'm having a blast and then they're like and then Yeah.

15:14 They put the camera comes down and the smile disappears

15:17 is the most insane sad part of the world I've ever

15:21 seen cuz I never had to like when I was

15:24 growing up when you were growing up we didn't have that.

15:26 I I was at I had a sidekick too.

15:53 I feel really bad for kids nowadays cuz it's like you cannot do that.

15:58 No, like every meme you get me'd out like look at this idiot.

16:02 It's I watched a girl I don't know where I was.

16:06 I remember this and this is the very beginning of this.

16:09 This had to be like 10 years ago and she was at Subway and she was like

16:15 like getting ready to eat her sandwich but she's

16:16 like and then like this and then go no

16:26 ate the sub and I was like, "Oh, you pig.

16:30 You fuck." And she just did not eat it as cute as she took a picture with it.

16:34 And I was just watching going like

16:59 and right in front of it always.

17:00 He always like he he told me who Morgan Whan is before I knew who Morgan

17:05 Wh Exactly had a record with him before that even before he even blew up.

17:23 And no one knew who Shane was.

18:10 We'll turn it into what it should be.

18:11 I'll do it with you because it's it's so cheap.

18:14 Yeah.

18:14 Everything's closed down.

18:15 The old people run the government.

18:16 They shut down that city.

18:17 They do.

18:18 I mean, it's it's they because they try to kill Spring Breakers.

18:22 Spring Breakers destroyed that[ __] city and now it's just

18:25 old people own everything and they won't let anything fun happen.

18:28 That's Wow.

18:31 Yeah.

18:31 Okay, let's do it.

18:32 Whether you're a founder, CEO, or HR leader,

18:36 building a global team usually means deciding to set up a local entity or not.

18:40 And that's exactly why Pebble's here so

18:42 you don't have to hire the world instantly.

18:45 When I started a business,

18:46 I had no idea how complicated contractors would be, employees would be, payroll.

18:52 Owning a business is confusing a[ __] Pebble is

20:07 Have you ever woken up first thing in the morning and thought,

20:09 I need a nicotine p pouch?

20:12 You haven't?

20:13 I have.

20:14 First thing in the morning, you wake up, you go, cup of coffee, nicotine pouch.

20:18 I'm going to feel like a human.

20:21 Caffeine is a go-to out of all my non-negotiables.

20:25 We're talking everything.

20:27 Caffeine is the go-to.

20:29 And that was why I started using ultra pouches.

20:33 I love them.

20:34 I love them.

20:35 And they're a complete game changer for focus and energy level.

20:39 And if we're being 100% honest, I do two pouches.

20:44 First off, these pouches are completely nicotine free and caffeine-free.

20:47 And you're probably thinking, well, they don't have nicotine or caffeine.

20:51 B.

20:51 What's in them?

20:53 It is exactly what is in them.

20:56 That's a great question.

20:57 Ultra is partnering with the leading neuroscientists to design these pouches.

21:01 They are clinically proven neutropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate

21:07 focus and smooth energy that lasts one to two hours.

21:10 More specifically, they use infinity PX, which is cleaner,

21:17 smoother energy boost than you get with caffeine.

21:20 Althanine, uh, an amino acid promoting calm energy and attentiveness.

21:25 Alpha GPC, a neutropic for enhanced mental processing,

21:29 and my favorite, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.

21:34 If you've never have those, those are the best for balanced energy and mood.

21:38 Nicotine disrupts hormone balance, potentially leading to lower testosterone.

21:42 If preworkout makes you feel overstimulated,

21:46 like it does uh Matt Matt uh I just saw

21:50 a dude taking pre-workout and he was losing his mind.

21:53 Matt Refe Ultra is perfect for you.

21:55 Matt Rice should try these.

21:56 Giving you a calm, steady flow so you can get into that flow state.

22:01 90% of users saw in significant improvements in their overall focus levels.

22:06 Calm, steady flow state, focus, enhanced memory, smooth energy,

22:10 mood balance, all with zero nicotine, and zero caffeine.

22:15 They have five amazingly good flavors.

22:18 Cool mint.

22:19 They've got wintergreen.

22:20 They've got tropical, which is kind of a juicy, vibrant.

22:23 That's tropical right here.

22:25 And they've got watermelon for a sweet, punchy taste.

22:28 Oh, I have not tried the brand new flavor, Blue Raz.

22:31 I cannot wait cuz I know it's going to be everyone's favorite.

22:34 Blue Raz is always the best.

22:36 Blue Raz, for literally everything.

22:38 The perfect blend of sweet and tart.

22:42 Oh my god, that's everything I've ever wanted.

22:45 I hope they don't sell out.

22:46 I'm going to I got to try it.

22:47 I love these.

22:48 I throw them in my mouth on a plane when I start writing in my journal.

22:50 Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch.

22:53 Delivering instant focus and mental clarity

22:54 without the nicotine or the caffeine.

33:54 don't think Finn Lizzie would pick it up.

33:56 No, if they did.

34:02 Really?

34:01 Yeah.

34:02 You can't sample any records now.

34:04 No.

34:04 No.

34:04 Even that's why you have to go to splice because

34:06 or or whatever your sample place that you're going to that's

34:09 like these are you know these are royalty-free because

34:12 because people I mean there are lawyers that their job

34:16 is just to look for the audio signals like

34:20 oh yeah this actually does this sounds like thin Lizzy

34:22 and also it looks like thin Lizzy's audio form

34:25 from their guitar so yeah you might have to pay us

34:29 that's interesting I bet you don't I bet you don't even[ __]

34:31 with because like there's jokes that I can't tell that I want to tell

34:38 that if I do tell I go I got to tell it.

34:41 It's I know it works.

34:42 It's like as an artist.

34:45 Yeah.

34:43 I go like that's why I had a joke about I said

34:47 the real name of this girl whose mom dropped her off drunk at school.

34:50 I said her real name for the whole tour.

34:52 I said her real name.

34:53 Her mom her mom dropped her off drunk at school all the time.

34:56 And as a child I said I can't how did that[ __] happen?

34:59 Like how bad?

35:00 And then you become an adult.

35:01 You're like oh I know how that happens.

35:02 Yeah.

35:02 Like, and then you're like, "Yeah,

35:03 you[ __] you just quit drinking at 4 in the morning.

35:06 You're still hammered when you wake up." You

35:08 didn't I didn't realize that as a child, but I said her name the whole time.

35:11 And then I had to change it.

35:12 Oh my god.

35:13 I had to change it.

35:14 And it never felt as funny.

35:17 Yeah.

35:15 To me because I changed her real name.

35:18 It was so funny watching.

35:20 Yeah.

35:20 You had demoitis of your joke.

35:23 Yeah.

35:23 Yeah.

35:23 Have you done that with a song where you're like

35:25 There's so many songs where you change the like there was this old

35:29 there's a song I can't take it that's on my first album

35:32 and the vocal was I think a Lolita Holloway vocal and I was like

35:37 we have to change and my manager was like we have to change this.

35:40 There's no way around it.

35:41 We cannot get clearance for this Lolita Holloway vocal.

35:44 They're they're going to take all the publishing on it.

35:47 Let's just get a reing of it and you you'll put it in there.

35:50 And it's funny, I listen I remember when I first got the re, I[ __] hated it.

35:54 I was like, "This song sucks now.

35:56 I'm not going to want to play it." But it just took

35:58 a bit for me to listen to it over and over again.

36:00 And now when I listen to the old one, I'm like,

36:01 "Holy[ __] I couldn't even understand the Lolita Holloway vocals

36:04 because they were so like I pitched them down so much."

36:08 Yeah.

36:08 Um, so I think Yeah, you just get past the demoitis.

36:10 You just you have to say the joke a little bit more.

36:13 I I now when I say it, I can't even remember her real name.

36:17 There you go.

36:18 So yeah, you got past your demoitis.

36:19 Her name was and you said it again.

36:22 Now we're going to have to go back to the original.

36:24 I changed it.

36:24 I changed it to Jennifer Stevens.

36:28 I will say is such a better name.

36:30 And it I She was so beautiful.

36:33 Please bleep her name out.

36:34 She was so beautiful, but because her mom dropped her off her I never I never

36:41 She was so beautiful.

36:42 I mean I I I like I'm This sounds crazy.

36:45 And by the way, she even got hotter in high school.

36:48 She was fully developed and beautiful.

36:51 No, like I mean no one had tits like that in high school.

36:54 We were I'm not saying as a[ __] 53-year-old looking at high school kids.

36:57 When I was in high school, she was still in high school.

37:00 You[ __] Epstein perverts.

37:03 But she was develop like she had tits in high school and was still beautiful.

37:08 But because her mom dropped her off drunk all the time in a limousine sometimes.

37:12 In a limousine.

37:13 I think her mom drove limousines.

37:15 This adds up.

37:16 Oh, she Oh, okay.

37:17 Yeah.

37:17 I think her mom drove a limousine.

37:18 I thought maybe maybe she just hired

37:20 a limousine sometimes when she was drunk with her.

37:22 No, her mom.

37:23 She was driving a limousine.

37:24 No, no, no.

37:25 She would show up sometimes to school in a limousine

37:27 and I think it was cuz her mom was drunk.

37:30 I don't know.

37:31 I don't even know what happened to her.

37:33 Oh, watch this.

37:34 You ready to find out?

37:36 Hold on.

37:36 I'm going to call a girl I went I grew up with.

37:40 Okay, hang on.

37:39 That's so crazy.

37:40 Can as I do this, let's see.

37:43 Yeah.

37:43 What do you want me to tell you?

37:45 Uh, I want to know I want to know how you do what you do.

37:46 Okay.

37:46 So, how I do what I do, um, like like for real, from beginning to end.

37:51 Let's start with like, like I I love I and I I love this because as a comic,

37:56 I always want to start every special off with a joke.

37:58 The very beginning of a special I find is very important.

38:00 Your very first song on this on this album.

38:02 Immediately, I went, "Oh, I'm into this album." What was it?

38:05 I don't even know what was sent to you.

38:07 Uh, uh, I got told that right at the beginning.

38:10 I'm a[ __] snowman in March.

38:13 I'm[ __] you know, all that's coming up is every time I turn on my phone,

38:16 it goes, I still have directions to my house.

38:19 That's how[ __] And I can't get out of it.

38:21 Um,

38:23 I can I can help you with that later.

38:27 Oh, okay.

38:27 Sick.

38:27 The one with DJ Snake.

38:29 __] yeah, this one rips.

38:31 Yeah, it does.

38:33 Yeah, this Oh, I guess I can't play it.

38:34 It's not out yet.

38:35 No, that's out.

38:35 That one's out.

38:36 That one's out.

38:37 Yeah.

38:37 Yeah.

38:38 Okay, hang on.

38:38 So, explain how this is.

38:41 So the It's so funny.

38:43 There's like so many iterations that you have to go through.

38:45 Like how did it start?

38:47 Originally it started.

38:48 Oh, hang on.

38:48 Hang on.

38:49 Wait, wait, wait, wait, WAIT.

38:51 FEEL THE BEAT DROP.

38:55 This is[ __] awesome.

38:56 Are you kidding me?

38:58 I can do squats.

39:00 Yes, I did squats to this.

39:03 Yes, I was like this.

39:02 Slow down.

39:04 Slow down.

39:05 Boom.

39:07 Yeah, this is this is[ __] awesome, dude.

39:10 You're so[ __] talented.

39:11 I mean, out of all the talented people you meet,

39:14 sometimes you're like, "Nah, that's luck." But then,

39:16 but you are really talented.

39:18 So, how does that start?

39:19 I mean, like I I want to know like are

39:22 you in bed you're like or do you are you listening?

39:27 No.

39:27 No.

39:27 So, that one came it's that like Okay.

39:31 I don't know how I don't know how joke like how really good jokes are created

39:36 in terms of like how long you have

39:37 to sit with them till they're till they're good.

39:41 But so what happens in music production is you're

39:42 sitting with a song for about 85% of the time

39:46 it is[ __] dog[ __] I'm I'm talking

39:49 about like if I played you the original versions,

39:50 you'd be like, "Dude, this sucks.

39:52 I never want to listen to this.

39:53 Do not play me this." But you sit with it

39:55 long enough or you tinker with it long enough and it

39:58 and it's weird like so let's say my progress

40:02 on the song is 15% and I'm just stuck at that 15%.

40:05 Some domino will fall down and all of a sudden

40:08 you're up to oh my god the song's almost done.

40:10 Like it's so weird.

40:12 It like it it takes one snare, one sound,

40:15 one thing that kind of locks the song in and then

40:19 the dominoes start falling and you're in flow state.

40:22 And that's really what making music is is you

40:25 get in this crazy flow state where you're like,

40:26 "Oh my god, this works.

40:28 This works.

40:28 This works." Like I remember there's this old song I had called

40:30 I don't give a[ __] or[ __] And I was sitting there

40:33 and I was making the melody to it and each each time

40:37 I would like get the note correct cuz I'm not a professional musician.

40:41 I learned I was like I can hear things and I can put it on a computer.

40:45 Um, I remember I was just sitting there doing the melody and I was jumping

40:48 up and down as every melody clicked into place and I could like I going back

40:52 to that I'm like holy[ __] I was like in the craziest flow state I've ever

40:54 been because the euphoria that I got

40:55 from that was like I was doing MDMA or something.

40:58 So like that's that's kind of where you get to with the songs

41:01 where like all of a sudden you're like oh my god this is it.

41:03 Okay, this is what the second drop should be.

41:05 Oh, and then it just all starts working in your head where like you

41:09 and and during that time of like trying to get to that like domino fall effect,

41:13 you were the most depressed you've ever been.

41:15 It's it's horrible.

41:17 You wake up every day and you're like, I suck.

41:18 I suck.

41:19 I can't make music.

41:20 The last song I made is the only good song I could ever make.

41:23 Why am I here?

41:24 I should probably kill myself.

41:26 Like it there are certain days where like it gets really bad really.

41:30 And I feel like every artist goes through that.

41:32 Of course, I'm not going to kill myself.

41:33 Talk to my therapist.

41:34 No.

41:34 Yeah.

41:34 Yeah.

41:35 So, but that's so interesting because um

41:38 but that's how you can get like you've done CrossFit.

41:40 I feel like CrossFit is you put yourself through the most miserable possible

41:43 thing cuz at the end of it you're like I feel like a god.

41:47 I've only had one flow state in my life.

41:49 I had a flow state in New York.

41:52 Can you pull up what will the maid think?

41:54 Um type up what will the maid think and I'll show you my flow state in New York.

41:59 And it was and I I couldn't tell you where any of this came from.

42:03 I couldn't tell you how I did any of it.

42:05 Were you just you were just on it was everything was just clicking right.

42:10 So I used to do see that body in the thing.

42:14 Not that not that go that I used to leave the hotel rooms like

42:17 that and and I'll scroll down scroll down uh see that body in the thing.

42:25 These are all in a flow state where I'm I'm drinking and I'm not sleeping and I

42:29 couldn't sleepside anxiety about what I was doing

42:31 the next day and I would create like this is you started filming stuff.

42:34 I started making content.

42:37 Yeah.

42:36 And I and I made like this one's in Edmonton across from the West Edmonton mall.

42:40 I just hung a sheet out the window and just left the room.

42:43 And so they were like And so but the best one in New York was keep scrolling.

42:48 There's one where there's a food table.

42:51 You'll see it.

42:52 That one was the bathroom.

42:54 That was in New York.

42:55 I did that one in New York.

42:56 I did three in New York.

42:57 I did Bert the Conqueror on a bed.

42:59 I did the that bed one on the back.

43:02 This is incredible.

43:03 I did uh the snake toilet and I did keep scrolling.

43:07 I did the guy underneath the food.

43:10 The food cart.

43:12 You got to I don't know.

43:13 You're never going to find it.

43:14 But I did like and I came out and I was humming.

43:16 My body was shaking and I wasn't done.

43:18 But I had to go do other stuff and I couldn't shut the[ __] up.

43:22 And I was like, I think I'm[ __] manic.

43:25 That's the closest I've ever been to a flow state.

43:27 Dude, I I fully understand this because when I used to do Snapchat a lot,

43:30 I had these stories that I did of this this piñata named Gerald.

43:35 Yeah.

43:34 And basically Gerald is like um he's like Stifler from American Pie,

43:40 like the shitty friend that you have that just[ __] up everything.

43:43 Yeah.

43:43 Like there's a whole thing that I did where where

43:44 randomly I got home um I think probably hung over.

43:48 I actually during my during my drinking I think the weirdest thing

43:53 that that I was able to do is I was able to work

43:55 on a lot of music and like get into flow state faster

43:58 cuz I think when you're hung over you get really irritated towards things.

44:02 It makes you super decisive.

44:04 If there's anything I miss from drinking it is that

44:07 cuz you're like I'm not going to put up with any[ __]

44:09 The thing I miss the most is being hung over and having a cup of coffee

44:13 and having my blood sugars off just a little

44:15 bit and seeing the world a tad bit differently.

44:18 Yeah.

44:18 and and just hearing things differently

44:21 and and registering everything from a side

44:24 perspective of like like kind of blocking out the sum of one eye.

44:27 Yeah.

44:28 Yeah.

44:28 Exact.

44:28 That's the perfect explanation of it.

44:30 Yeah.

44:30 I missed that.

44:31 I I used to do Yeah.

44:32 There's Gerald.

44:33 Um what's it called?

44:36 like from this I would get in flow state of like there was one

44:40 where I got back to my house or and and I was like I'm just

44:43 going to make a video of him doing cocaine off my iPad and I

44:45 had gotten a bunch of other piñatas from whatever website and they had sent them

44:51 to me and and basically like I put one of the piñatas[ __] the other

44:55 one and said that they died and he was doing cocaine off my iPad

44:58 and then he ordered a mail order mermaid and then he went into my bedroom

45:01 and had sex with the mermaid and I used and basically made a whole thing.

45:05 I like and then from that I made a clothing line.

45:08 We actually pitched it to Free Form before

45:11 I think Free Form is not a network anymore.

45:13 Or maybe they are, but they're trying to figure it out.

45:15 I remember.

45:16 But

45:16 yeah, we had we had an animation that we were going to do with them and then

45:20 they the animation department folded.

45:22 But this whole thing was from Flowage of like I feel like the same thing of like

45:26 I would get home and I would start

45:28 making Snapchats and each video I would be like, "Okay, cool, perfect.

45:31 Post it the next one.

45:33 I'm going to do it." And kids[ __] loved it.

45:35 Like cuz it was like a little series before I

45:38 think social media really had like this is the content hub.

45:41 This is where you're watching TV now.

45:43 It was like a fake little TV show.

45:44 What sucks for you is in order to be creative,

45:47 you have to get behind a computer and do a thing.

45:49 Yeah.

45:49 With me sometimes I can accidentally say something and I'll go

45:52 like I can get I can find like when I'm frustrated

45:56 something will come out really funny and I and then I'll

45:58 go I should write like I wrote one down last yesterday.

46:02 Wait, no.

46:03 Well, how do you think of that?

46:04 I want to know how you write jokes because that to me is so interesting of like

46:10 is it written down once, tried at a show,

46:12 and then you just workshop it until it makes people laugh or do

46:16 like how how what's the what's the process of getting to that final moment?

46:21 So, I think the process is not not thinking you're

46:25 good is a big part because some people will be like,

46:28 "I'm great." And then they'll just do it and then they'll be like,

46:30 "It's ready." you're like, "No, no, no, no, no.

46:32 Just cuz it got a laugh the first time doesn't

46:34 mean it's ready." How are you going to whittle that down?

46:37 So, as opposed to like adding the adding that for me,

46:42 that's a a little tag or that makes the joke so much better

46:46 or or sometimes like I had this really brilliant moment and I and it was funny.

46:51 It was so funny so funny about an argument um

46:56 that a that a customer at Ralph's had with an employee at Ralph's and

47:01 and it was so funny and I overheard it and I laughed and I hadn't laughed

47:06 in a little while and but I was taking out why it was important to me

47:09 and only because I thought the conversation I

47:11 did think the conversation was funny but I was

47:13 taking out why that was funny and why

47:14 that was important and what my reaction was after.

47:18 I mean, there's a video of me that I I don't know why I've not shared this.

47:22 There's a video of me that I sent to Tom after it happened.

47:25 I got in the car and I just repeated it

47:26 to Tom because I knew he would think it funny.

47:29 It was funny.

47:30 And so, but the the key is I know the good bits.

47:35 Like, I know if it seems like I'll never get through it,

47:38 if it seems really difficult, then I know that's going to be good.

47:43 Mhm.

47:42 And I just got to do the hard work.

47:45 It's a lot.

47:45 The majority of comics, and I'm sure you see this in your industry,

47:48 majority of comics just just getting by to getting by.

47:52 Good enough is good enough for them.

47:55 Yeah.

47:54 Um, the great comics, and I I would I will say I'm a great comic,

47:58 and I I will only say that because I I I strive for it.

48:02 Thank you.

48:03 Um,

48:04 is they they let themselves struggle on stage

48:06 and they let themselves fail on stage.

48:08 And if you're not if you're always crushing, you're not a good comic.

48:12 Yeah.

48:12 If you if you are failing on stage, then you're trying harder than you think.

48:16 And that's what you need to do is try harder than you think you should.

48:19 That you should always try to do something you can't do.

48:24 Yeah.

48:23 Who wants to watch[ __] eyes show speed hit back flips all[ __] day?

48:27 I want to.

48:28 Yeah.

48:28 I

48:28 want to watch him read a whole book of Harry Potter out loud.

48:31 What's

48:31 Has he done that?

48:32 No.

48:32 That's what 50 Cent said to Floyd Mayweather.

48:35 Did you not?

48:35 I remember that.

48:36 I remember that.

48:36 I was like, wait, he took that from there and he was like, I'm going to do it.

48:40 No, but I want to see I show speed do[ __] that it's like I

48:43 know you can do a backflip,[ __] Like do some[ __] that I don't expect.

48:47 I want to see him perform a vasectomy.

48:48 Like I want to see

48:50 perform ivasectomy.

48:51 Yeah, I would I would let speed.

48:53 How funny would it be if I show speed's like they're like okay

48:56 so what you want to do with that right arm is go very gently.

48:59 No, that's too far.

49:00 That's too far.

49:00 And he's like[ __] Can I just do a back flip?

49:04 Like do it on a[ __] cow.

49:06 I want to see him I want to see him put down a dog.

49:09 Yeah.

49:09 Yeah.

49:09 He's got to euthanize a dog.

49:11 But like watching I show speed play soccer and do back flips is[ __] great.

49:16 But it's like you already do that[ __]

49:17 TV is going to get to that point for sure.

49:20 Oh, I never thought I'd be where we are today.

49:22 Your industry frustrates the[ __] out of me cuz I go all you got to do there.

49:26 I mean there's a couple girls I follow that were ex porn

49:28 stars and there's a couple girls that are just models that they're

49:32 like uh and don't you like when the bell does this ding

49:36 ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.

49:38 and they do a circle and they're in like a little thin thing

49:41 with nine perfectly placed tattoos all over

49:43 them and they're like and the beat drops

49:47 and then you have the you have like the 8090 IQ people.

49:50 Like this is[ __] amazing.

49:53 Amazing.

49:53 This is so sick.

49:54 I want to go here.

49:55 I wish I could get into this club.

49:57 How do I go to this?

49:57 It already happened.

49:58 You dumb[ __] You[ __] 83.

50:02 It just happened.

50:05 __]

50:06 the numbers of the show is going to be great.

50:08 I you know I I you I will say this and I have to say this honestly.

50:12 I can put on you and Diplo.

50:15 Diplo has these beautiful places that he goes to and performs a DJ set.

50:19 I can put that on on the treadmill

50:21 and run you a little more than Diplo at times.

50:23 Some of his longer more thoughtout soulful[ __] Yeah.

50:27 I'm not I like it's not great for jogging.

50:29 You put one up recently.

50:31 Oh no.

50:31 I'm trying to go back to that like that angsty

50:34 place of of the beginning of of my career of like,

54:15 I did DMT in Beldon, California in front of 50 people uh in the in the crowd.

54:19 Not not as I was DJing.

54:21 So we So we So wait, when you did do drugs,

54:23 you didn't like check their their puress.

54:26 You just were like show it.

54:27 Honestly, it was a guy that probably went to like Fish

54:29 and Grateful Dead shows and was at this show in Beldon, California.

54:32 I was driving up with this other DJ and and I was like, "Yeah,

54:35 I tried DMT." He's like, "Yo, the DMT shaman master is going to be there.

54:38 If you want to do it again,

54:39 like I'll tell him." I was like, "Yeah, maybe after my set." And so,

54:42 literally right after my set, the guy goes, "Yo,

54:44 you want to do DMT?" I'm like, "Fuck it." Yeah.

54:46 We go into the front of crowd, put up beach chairs.

54:49 He's like, "All right, you're going to take a hit from the bong, hold it.

54:53 You're not going to feel it.

54:54 Blow it out.

54:55 Take one more hit of the bong, hold it, then you're going to feel it.

54:59 And then blow it out and just take the ride." Do I remember

55:02 I did one massive hit and I immediately passed and I was like,

55:05 I'm about to feel it for sure.

55:06 And I remember I closed my eyes and I had the most insane I

55:09 thought I pissed my pants and there was like a clown saying I wasn't ready.

55:13 I wasn't ready.

55:14 Oh wow.

55:14 Wow.

55:14 I'm already out.

55:15 I'm already out.

55:16 I'm already out.

55:16 It was insane.

55:17 And then and then I had a realization.

55:19 I was like, well, if I did piss my the whole

55:20 thing was like if I piss my pants, well, I'm okay.

55:22 I'm I'm in front of all these like Grateful Dead hippie people.

55:25 Like they're not going to care.

55:26 And I remember I they won't even smell it.

55:28 Yeah.

55:28 I took my and I was like I came to you and I was like, "Okay,

55:30 well like here's the I had my hat on my pants and I was like here's the moment

55:34 I find out if I pissed my pants or not." And I luckily didn't piss my pants.

55:38 Um and then I was like, "Cool, man.

55:39 That was awesome.

55:40 I'm going to see you later." And I went and slept in a room

55:43 with a bunch of other hippies and um had the best night of sleep I've ever had.

55:48 Really?

55:48 That DMT sleep put me out.

55:50 Oh, we should give my wife DMT.

59:53 kind of were the ones that curated trap music to be what it

59:58 is in terms in dance music of dance trap music where it's like

1:00:03 electronic but it also feels like like it's from Atlanta.

1:00:07 um they were the first guys to really like

1:00:09 start pushing that type of genre where it got big

1:00:11 in dance music and actually like considered like okay cool

1:00:13 this is this is a dance kind of like EDM

1:00:17 define I I have so many[ __] questions define trap music to people listening

1:00:20 so like trap music there is like Atlanta

1:00:22 trap music which is which is very much like

1:00:26 you know people that are raised in the trap

1:00:28 that are making songs about like where they

1:00:31 selling bricks and yeah exactly trap houses it's it's TI and yeah and

1:00:35 I think he had an album called trap music Yeah, probably.

1:00:37 Yeah.

1:00:38 And and so like that that genre kind of exists in like 140 BPM, 80 BPM or 160

1:00:44 beats per minute, guys.

1:00:45 Beats per minutes.

1:00:45 Yeah.

1:00:46 So, um but that is is very much about like heavy 808s, a really good 808 a drum.

1:01:04 Keep going.

1:01:07 Sorry, Sandra.

1:01:09 Um, so in so in that genre that was kind of taken

1:01:12 and then we they put electronic sounds on top of it.

1:01:15 So it made it like EDM trap music which was really cool.

1:01:18 And then originally what I came from which was it's

1:01:22 called Mumatone and Mumatone is dance music and reggaone infused

1:01:27 is what I kind of came up with when when I you know kind of blew up.

1:01:32 It was it was me, this guy Dave Natada and Mucci

1:04:19 Yeah.

1:04:20 Uh so I I I learned how to make music in Atlanta.

1:04:22 I lived in Buckhead and I was working at DARP

1:04:24 at Dallas Austin Studio with my friend Cory Nita.

1:04:28 Really?

1:04:27 Yeah.

1:04:28 Isn't that weird?

1:04:29 That's crazy.

1:04:29 Wait, what were you doing in Atlanta?

1:04:31 That's where I learned how to make music.

1:04:33 How like how did you get to Atlanta?

1:04:35 So Corey had gotten a publishing deal with Dallas Austin.

1:04:38 And

1:04:39 who's Dallas Austin?

1:04:40 He did uh The Poison Drums.

1:04:50 We can't sing it because it will get copyright strike.

1:04:54 Okay, I'm going to

1:04:55 I'm pretty sure that I I hope I'm having my facts correct here.

1:04:58 I'm going to sing it in a different

1:04:59 language so you guys are familiar with the song.

1:05:01 Okay.

1:05:08 That's the German version.

1:05:09 I like it.

1:05:12 But so so my at the time I was like the only way

1:05:15 that I'm going to be able So I wanted to DJ at Steoki's Clubace.

1:05:20 I was like the only way that I can DJ is if I learn how to make music.

1:05:23 And I I knew that that my friend Corey

1:05:26 or well I was him and I weren't really friends yet,

1:05:29 but I knew that he had been working in in dance

1:05:31 music and was like and he knew a lot about that.

1:05:34 So um I think I got introduced with him from one of my ex-girlfriends

1:05:38 and I one night I was wasted and I was like, "Dude,

1:05:41 I'll do whatever to like come and learn how

1:05:42 to make music from you." And he's like, "Yeah,

1:05:44 if you fly yourself to Atlanta,

1:05:46 you can stay at my house and I'll teach you how to make music."

1:05:48 Well, you are the you are the example of that a little bit.

1:05:51 Your persistency has gotten you a lot of places

1:05:54 and and I and I think that that's important.

1:05:56 You have to be who was the who was

1:05:58 Well, dude, even even speaking on the thing where you're talking about failing,

1:06:01 I got a DUI when I was younger and if I didn't get that DUI,

1:06:04 I wouldn't have been making music.

1:06:06 I'm not saying go get a DUI so you can

1:06:08 figure out what your purpose is in life, but you will.

1:06:10 Like that failure was like my I felt so bad for my parents.

1:06:15 I was like, I have to figure out what I need to do.

1:06:17 And then I was like, okay,

1:06:18 I'm going to hone in on this music thing that I really like.

1:06:20 And your parents.

1:06:21 Your you Yeah, that's that's interesting.

1:06:24 Most people get DUIs and they're like, "Yo,

1:06:26 my parents got me out." And then you were like,

1:11:38 He has a brilliant standup but he is so talented.

1:11:41 He's so so crazy weird connection.

1:11:44 I found one of his he did like one of the funniest 9/11 videos I've ever seen.

1:11:49 Like

1:11:49 I had to have seen it.

1:11:50 It's him going into a room being like, "I have a pitch." And it's nine.

1:11:53 It's it's two guys from Afghanistan that fall asleep on 911

1:11:57 and but they miss their alarm and they go, "Oh no,

1:12:00 we forgot to do what we were supposed to do,

1:12:03 but we're in America." And then he like plays the song.

1:12:06 He's like, "So they're going around.

1:12:07 It's like, you know,

1:12:08 they're they're going to McDonald's and they're having the best time ever.

1:12:10 They end up loving America,

1:12:11 but then the people back home find out and they're like,

1:12:13 "We have to do what we were sent to." And it's and then he ends

1:12:16 the pitch and and like and then it's him pretending to be the guy being like,

1:12:19 "Yeah, we're not really looking for anything like that."

1:12:21 And it was one of I never like laughed that hard at Tik Tok.

1:12:25 And I followed him and he hit me up and he was like,

1:12:28 "Yo, big fan blah blah blah blah blah.

1:12:29 I used to dance to your old song with Totally Enormous

1:12:33 Extinct Dinosaurs." And he has this like character that he does.

1:12:37 It's so[ __] funny.

1:12:38 And him and he used to And he danced to one of my old songs.

1:12:41 Dancer.

1:12:41 He's incredible.

1:12:42 He's incredible.

1:12:43 But but it was so funny that like I got connected, you know,

1:12:46 through that which there was that odd connection and I've been

1:12:49 to a bunch of his like comedy club things where he does the massive

1:12:53 working on lines and and it's so fun to watch him work on jokes there.

1:12:56 Can you change the two names in post and put Fahhem's

1:13:00 name where James' name is and James' name where Fahhees is?

1:13:04 By the way, don't do any of it.

1:23:24 Maybe I Maybe you didn't.

1:23:26 I'm sorry if you didn't,

1:23:31 Yeah.

1:23:31 Oh, no.

1:23:32 I did.

1:23:33 Yeah.

1:23:33 Cuz you the the amount of times they repeat the same thing over and over to you.

1:23:37 That's the one thing in Vegas where I'm like this actually

1:23:39 keeps me sober because the amount of times I get

1:23:41 asked for the same thing over one one of them

1:23:44 was like some person came up to me and was like,

1:23:47 "Hey, can you play Pretty Low?" I'm like, "I already did." Okay.

1:23:52 Same person.

1:23:52 Hey, can you play pretty low?

1:23:54 I told you I already played it.

1:23:55 I'm not going to play it again cuz you decided to go throw up in the back.

1:23:58 Whatever you did.

1:23:59 Yeah.

1:23:59 Whatever you decided to do, I'm not doing it just for you.

1:24:02 Yeah.

1:24:02 The other thing that's crazy is just like the the um the selfishness

1:24:08 of certain people when they're drunk of like this is my night,

1:24:12 you[ __] piece of[ __]

1:24:14 You better play pretty low for me before I[ __] kill you.

1:24:18 You ready for mine?

1:24:18 You ready for mine?

1:24:19 Yeah.

1:24:19 Hey, take your shirt off and take a picture with my wife.

1:24:23 Yes.

1:24:23 So, sorry.

1:24:23 What did you say, D?

1:24:25 I heard you're Be the funny guy and do it with her.

1:24:27 You ready for this?

1:24:27 I heard you're more fun when you're drinking.

1:24:29 Oh my god.

1:24:30 And I was like, I I wouldn't be more fun now.

1:24:32 And I And he goes, take your shirt off.

1:24:34 Take a picture with my wife.

1:24:35 And I went, but then I just But I'm I'm I'm not paid to be there,

1:24:39 but I'm there for a reason.

1:24:41 Yes.

1:24:40 So I'm like, my shirt's already off, sir.

1:24:42 And he's like, you know what I mean.

1:24:44 You just start going, I'm sorry, sir.

1:24:45 I didn't mean to.

1:24:46 I'm going to get back to the mechanic store and get your car fixed real quick.

1:24:50 It's not like here's the thing is I don't mind

1:24:55 I don't mind drunk people and I don't mind people drinking.

1:25:00 What I what is tedious to me is when I'm not allowed to partake and I

1:25:04 don't mind any of the behaviors because I incorporate those into my life a lot.

1:25:10 I love an awkward conversation when with someone where

1:25:12 I've been drinking too much and it makes no sense.

1:25:14 I I it keeps me honest and I and I hope

1:25:17 that these people are keeping themselves honest when it's happening to me.

1:25:20 I just it's just very, you know, it's it's it's tough.

1:25:26 I mean, it's tough to go through life sober.

1:25:28 It is.

1:25:28 It I mean, listen, here's the deal, and I'm sure you can relate to this.

1:25:33 It's not tough when you wake up.

1:25:36 When you wake up sober, life's like doable.

1:25:39 It's still tough for me.

1:25:41 For real?

1:25:42 Yeah.

1:25:42 Oh, I get Oh, no.

1:25:42 No, not not in terms of drinking of just like I'm just tired.

1:25:46 Really?

1:25:46 Yeah.

1:25:46 But do you remember do you remember the feeling of like

1:25:49 partying too much and having to go catch a flight?

1:25:51 Oh, do I mean one of the reasons why I stopped

1:25:53 drinking was my hangovers were 3 days long and I couldn't work.

1:25:57 I like I could not I could not do what I used to do.

1:26:00 That's where it was unsustainable for me where I

1:26:02 was like I can't do this anymore just because

1:26:04 it is truly affecting my ability to get better

1:26:09 at my craft to be able to work on music.

1:26:11 I'm just lit like I would be there being like my manager,

1:26:15 hey, where do you have that song that you're working on?

1:26:17 Oh, dude, I need two more days because I can't work right now.

1:26:20 I physically can't.

1:26:21 I'm feel like dog[ __]

1:26:23 So, that was a thing for me where I that's that's why I stopped drinking

1:26:26 cuz like I could I used to be able to wake up sober and be like,

1:26:29 "Yeah, I'm What do you need for me?

1:26:30 I'm about to do everything." Yeah.

1:26:33 Um I think waking up for me is still I'm just exhausted every day.

1:26:36 Oh, I wake up I wake up.

1:26:38 But I I I substitute coffee for like I think

1:26:41 I drink six espressos a day or something like that.

1:26:45 Oh, you know what?

1:26:46 Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1:26:47 Don't judge.

1:26:48 Don't judge.

1:26:49 Uh, this will be my sixth if I finish this.

1:26:53 I think I mean, look, if you're sober, you you want to Let's talk about treats.

1:26:57 Yeah, you got to

1:26:58 So, what are your treats?

1:26:59 Uh, Rice Krispy or No.

1:27:00 Uh, not Yes.

1:27:02 Not literal.

1:27:03 Okay.

1:27:04 And like but like what what do you do to I had cocoa pebbles last night as well.

1:27:08 Like you you'll have I'm just going to go in on treats now.

1:27:10 Yeah.

1:27:11 No, like you cuz like I I'm thinking about starting nicotine.

1:27:15 Oh, I I started I That's so funny.

1:27:17 I actually my I started joke vaping with my tour

1:27:20 manager and then I ended up starting to vape.

1:27:24 I heard someone who started joke smoking

1:27:27 and then dude that happened to me.

1:27:29 I'm a[ __] idiot.

1:27:32 I I'll randomly go and buy vapes like on and I'll be like, "This is a tour vape.

1:27:36 I'm throwing it away at the end of the tour."

1:27:38 I want I want to start nicotine.

1:27:42 I I've I I quit in August of So I've quit now for almost two years.

1:28:15 And so I I've been quit for a year and a half, I guess, not two years.

1:28:21 But uh when I quit, I knew I needed to quit.

1:28:25 And quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done.

1:28:31 You need that thing.

1:28:33 I need that.

1:28:34 It's so weird to like you just have to have that that not even I

1:28:39 don't have this, but it's like I want a yo-yo or something that I'm doing.

1:28:43 The the vape is the yo-yo.

1:28:45 I want to cut like you see the girls kids cut.

1:28:47 I want to be a cutter.

1:28:48 I want something.

1:28:49 Yeah.

1:28:49 I want to feel.

1:28:50 I want to feel.

1:28:53 it makes you have that like I did something wrong.

1:28:56 There we go.

1:28:57 And I and you feel a little like that lightheadedness that you're like,

1:29:00 I'm not on drugs, but it feels close enough.

1:29:03 We had a dude on tour with us who would vape and blow it into his jacket

1:29:06 and blow his like almost like he wasn't doing it and then he got up and vape

1:29:10 came out of his jacket and we were like And by the I wish I could

1:29:14 tell you that guy's name cuz everyone would

1:29:16 laugh hyster um yeah I want to start nicotine.

1:29:21 I've been smoking cigars but they're such an aggressive thing to do.

1:29:28 How do I how do I get to the airport?

1:29:30 I take a different entrance and they have

1:29:31 an outdoor lounge where you can smoke cigarettes.

1:34:11 Um,

1:34:10 so I'll spoiler alert it for you.

1:34:12 Okay.

1:34:16 So, at the beginning of before World War I,

1:34:19 uh, all those countries were were somewhat Slavic nations

1:34:23 that were all kind of split up.

1:34:25 And Gabrielle Pritzip shot France Ferdinand.

1:34:40 it started World War I but it created Yugoslavia really

1:34:43 created the the Ottoman Empire was was ruling that area.
