Eric Readinger 2:16

you've had your hand and a Cheeto bag for a week.

Law Smith 2:19

I saw my face get everything sweats on me. But my face gets dry. Fun combo. Yeah, it's really cool to have hyperhydrosis and then also Ashley, Larry. Yeah, which you can't call me because warrants. You know, we know regal name for Larry. So people don't know that. Like Guillermo is the Spanish came from William. They're like, what do you guys do? Really? Yeah. Like the

Eric Readinger 2:47

know that and got multiple gear most

Law Smith 2:50

Spanish? Spanish as I'm talking to Spanish as a language, get it together? Because what is it?

Eric Readinger 2:58

What does it everything needs to be a boy or girl?

Law Smith 3:01

Oh, well, no one buys into Latina acts. That is a thing perpetrated by blonde I was

Eric Readinger 3:06

talking about, but I'm just talking about, you know,

Unknown Speaker 3:08

well that know that. But

Eric Readinger 3:09

way to make it political

Law Smith 3:10

or not? What party? Did I stand on? What side?

Eric Readinger 3:15

I don't know. Latinx men know.

Law Smith 3:18

Ooh, nice. Copyright that? No, the Latinx thing. It's only like, like white moms in America that are really pushing that. Right. Right, that we need to represent Latina acts. If you ask anybody. That's like, got family that, you know asking about.

Eric Readinger 3:42

Latin culture represents itself pretty well. I hear you know,

Law Smith 3:45

they're like, What are you talking about? I'm

Eric Readinger 3:46

Latin. Like they'll say that. Like many Latin people say that right away? was usually to say something mean to me?

Law Smith 3:55

Yeah. Well, it'd be but it's like they the Latina X thing isn't a real thing. It was like, I just think it's funny. It was I don't

Eric Readinger 4:05

get what the x is. I don't really understand it's not

Law Smith 4:09

gender specific. specify what you saw. That's why I wasn't making political I was making almost, you know, vocational rational

Eric Readinger 4:20

vernacular. Some of them. Yeah, they're probably not on board with that. That's what I'm saying. Their whole language has, you know, gender assigned to different objects. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 4:30

That's a little boy.

Law Smith 4:32

Pencils a boy. A law piece. Would you say

Eric Readinger 4:36

hell? That is the masculine law feminine. Oh, yeah.

Law Smith 4:43

Yeah. And that's not for us. Gringos to get.

Eric Readinger 4:47

Let's have a long discussion about this as I can fix their language.

Speaker 2 4:49

No, I know. I think it's funny when these movements get started, like, all right, I was thinking back to remember don't don't call little girls bossy. Good message right? A good message starts with good intentions, right? Like, if you're bossy as a little boy, you're considered a leader. If you're bossy as a little girl, you're considered kind of a B.

Eric Readinger 5:13

Right? But you know, alright, good message. So there'll be bossy to everybody.

Law Smith 5:17

No, but it has been a little shit. But just thinking about this in a nice way, just like no one had good intentions, then it just went haywire. This is like when we didn't have real problems, like eight years ago. Oh, I remember that. And then I saw

Eric Readinger 5:34

a video of Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin was Boris Yeltsin, whatever the woman's are laughing hysterically, just those days.

Law Smith 5:42

Well, then me too, coming off a bender, the me to movement, right. And be it also oh, by the way, going back to the Bossy thing.

Eric Readinger 5:52

Let's be clear, we're talking about the motivations behind it. Right? It starts

Law Smith 5:55

with good intention. Same with like the wage gap. We've talked about it on the show a lot. It's not a implemented systematic thing. It is a voluntary wage gap. women choose not to do riskier jobs. And they also, when they have kids, they're likely to not work as much. Right? And they volunteer. It's not that people are keeping them down. If anything, they can't like law firms can't find women in their 30s A lot of the time, because their mom and

Eric Readinger 6:26

yeah, they found a lawyer in their 30s to marry and that's

Law Smith 6:32

all. Yeah, that's exactly what to say. But like, Alright, so then you got that, right. So it went from, you know, maybe treat little kids the same way gender wise, as far as like, who's a leader who's a follower, that kind of thing, good message, then it goes haywire in a way like right pay per dollar. And

Eric Readinger 6:54

don't talk about it. If you even want to have a discussion about it. You're a piece of shit.

Law Smith 6:58

Yeah, it Yeah. Oh, dude, I fucked up.

Unknown Speaker 7:02

Jordan Peterson man,

Speaker 2 7:03

I Oh, it's actually the dollar. And actually, you break this down for you believe I can ask? My voice is gonna listen to me. Oh, you know what it's about? It's no the wage gap as well. It's only really a seven cent difference. Yeah, it actually is. And I've lost I've lost people at a dinner party when I tried to do that voice. Yeah. It's like Mickey Mouse meets Canadian. Yeah. I have been I was working on that one day, and I couldn't nail it.

Eric Readinger 7:33

It's not as bad as we're doing it. But it's great.

Law Smith 7:36

Well, you gotta find a hook with it. Yeah, that's, you know, and then okay, we'll take an hour after this figured out then you got me to movement, right, like 2016?

Eric Readinger 7:45

Are we just trying to make enemies today? The stock

Law Smith 7:48

movement? Right. All right. Good. Good. You know, like, good. Call out, call out. People who are perpetrators, right? Call out these people that are gross and like, ruin people's lives. And that's a gift that keeps giving generationally. Not a real gift. But like, you know, people that get molested, often less people or have other addiction issues. A lot of that stuff. They have a harder life. Much harder life. Good message. Good. nucleolus Yeah, call out these people. Then it erupted into this crazy thing of like, believe all women. And you're like, Okay, that's that's a we? We went too far. Yeah, overcorrect. defund the police is another one.

Eric Readinger 8:37

Yeah, that one. I don't. I don't even get that. Like we what? Who's gonna? Another dual stuff we don't want to do another thing

Law Smith 8:44

that you talked about stats with where you're like, you know, it is it sucks. I have seen so many black kids being shot by cops or treated poorly. Yeah. However, it's this. If you look at the stats, it's like, well, a lot. Why? Why white people also get fucked up. But you like, just bring in that stat up. I could show power when you want to comment. Right? I know. I saw it. I felt your asshole pucker as I was talking about. But like, a lot of it's black on black is black cops on black kids a lot of the time, that kind of stuff. And you're like, Oh, we don't want to okay, we don't want to talk about that. All right. Black Lives Matter. Great message. They do matter. Yeah. The person who ran Black Lives Matter. It's the brands owned by white people.

Eric Readinger 9:32

The winner that the executive

Law Smith 9:34

director bought bought a mansion in like LA with the money with a lot of the money that was exposed in New York time. So like, yeah, good message. But it goes haywire because it's yeah. Anyway, people Millennium

Eric Readinger 9:48

large amount of money gets perverted.

Law Smith 9:51

You can find our show on rumble next week. Yeah, if we're lucky. Yeah. Well, that's like the hardcore Republican video platform. No DeSantis has left YouTube to go to rumble because he doesn't want to be censored, which I agree with free speech but like, you're definitely it's a move when you get kicked off of YouTube a lot of time. So, we're Vimeo guys, we're big on Vimeo,

Eric Readinger 10:20

y'all for now. If we're allowed back, so,

Law Smith 10:25

Tom Brady,

Eric Readinger 10:26

I want to hear about this because I have no idea what you're talking about.

Law Smith 10:33

Jean Decker Hoff former voice of the Buccaneers for 35 years,

Unknown Speaker 10:38

something like that. So hello, and

Law Smith 10:40

Molly and shout out to Ron a barber. We got to get him on the show. future Hall of Famer. Yeah. Maybe I think he took over John Lynch is my favorite player. Honestly. I thought about it when he he got the jacket and I was like, never missed a game after he started in his second season play 15 seasons. Never missed again. Yeah, that's odd. And

Eric Readinger 11:04

he was a quarterback. He wasn't just doing, you know, pass, pass. Defense.

Law Smith 11:09

He was great cover to corner and then they put him in the nickel slot on a blitz. And he would he would camouflage himself like he wasn't and he timed it perfectly.

Eric Readinger 11:18

Hmm. Yep. Those are the days

Law Smith 11:22

and then he became a safety like the good corners. Yeah.

Eric Readinger 11:25

Yeah. Rod Woodson.

Law Smith 11:28

Exactly was that there is a honestly maybe Dr. Bliss Dion. Anyway, I

Eric Readinger 11:34

don't think he's ever saved.

Law Smith 11:36

I don't think he would do that. Well, now he doesn't have a toe so he can't run. You know about that? I think I did. I almost thought so when they told me Deion Sanders is better than Bo Jackson. All right, athlete.

Eric Readinger 11:48

Well, I agree with you. But it could be argued, you know, Dion, he was legit. But I mean, he was a physical specimen like Bo Jackson while he wasn't running, you know, a 419. Whatever Bo ran at 230. I was anyway,

Law Smith 12:05

I wouldn't he Bo was an all star in both leagues in one year. I want to say a pro bowler and a Major League Baseball all star. Yeah. I mean, now he didn't play both sports in one day like Dion did. That's pretty incredible. Yep. Look, my dad goes Jim Brown every time.

Eric Readinger 12:26

An old man talking.

Law Smith 12:27

I was like, Yeah, also he was Jim browns. Fuck it up white people.

Eric Readinger 12:32

Right. Exactly. With Derrick Henry out there the way

Law Smith 12:37

that's you did, how unprofessional I am on a monitor we

Eric Readinger 12:41

are we gonna hope so.

Law Smith 12:43

That means someone's trying to break through. It's dad, dude, he wants to talk to you. And I hope you forget to edit this out. So I'll set this up while you're figuring out whatever. If your dad's fit, trying to FaceTime is it a FaceTime emergency? Tom Brady saw this yesterday. Tom Brady is pursuing stand up comedy. Now. I got a lot of thoughts. Holy shit, dude. What? A third one. All right. Is he dying? And why don't you pause this for FaceTime calls by your dad.

Eric Readinger 13:32

He's definitely alive and fine. Yeah, swore that I had told

Law Smith 13:37

him I was worried I made that joke about him being rubbed the wrong keys. So that that reminds me if we get any pragmatic advice on this show, I just showed a friend that there is a focus mode on your iPhone. And I think the non iPhones have something like this to I should two people this yesterday, actually. That are our age. They're not like and they're not low tech. They're just like, Oh, I didn't know. There was that on there. Like I put focus mode on my phone almost all day during the work day. Because my AD D gets off the chain. If I just hear a bunch of texts coming in, or people call and it's like, no, I gotta focus on what I'm doing. And then I like email like, I don't I try to check it three times a day now.

Eric Readinger 14:25

Well, I figured out as he was on the allowed contacts, right, so why do you need to call four times out?

Law Smith 14:32

There's no emergency FaceTime? Almost

Unknown Speaker 14:35

ever? No.

Law Smith 14:36

So I'm going to show you how I'm dying. And then like I have favorites that can break through your Do Not Disturb if they need to. And then if people really need to get a hold of you that aren't in the Favorites, they can call three times it'll break through your Do Not Disturb. Yep, that's our pragmatic moment. Sponsored by sunkid

Eric Readinger 14:59

and Who's going to be weird? sunkissed so Okay, Tom Brady doing

Law Smith 15:05

what so Tom Brady wants to pursue stand up comedy.

Unknown Speaker 15:08

Where did you hear this?

Law Smith 15:09

I bet it's it was the new story broke yesterday afternoon. We're recording this the Tuesday February 28. So at some point what

Eric Readinger 15:19

what news outlet reported this

Law Smith 15:23

oh, I need sources off the top of my head. Well, I

Eric Readinger 15:25

don't know. I mean, was it one of your right wing far right. Conspiracy news outlets that you love so much. Yes. Yeah, that feels

Speaker 3 15:34

feel good. Does it doesn't hurt at all because I was on a political

Law Smith 15:39

but it's, I read it. I saw it enough. I I'll go to twitter if something breaks really? Now that Twitter's more legit, and it's right wing? Yes. Thanks. I love that people. I do see that on Twitter, too. People are like, well, this thing's become a dumpster fire now. And it's like, actually, it's more legit, because he got rid of all the fake followers on there. And they're actually gonna make revenue and make it it's becoming way more legit. But they don't like Elon Musk because he's. He's a billionaire. And some theater man. He leans conservative, but I don't think he's declared he is one. Technically. I don't know. Anyway. So that story broke yesterday. It could be fake. I don't know. Yeah, but just thinking about that. Let's just break that down.

Eric Readinger 16:32

Man. That's gonna be weird. You know, part of anything I've ever seen him do tells me that he can be funny that all

Law Smith 16:40

I disagree actually really?

Eric Readinger 16:42

What have you seen on this Twitter? He actually is very,

Law Smith 16:47

but you've seen tweets reposted from him. He's actually I thought I honestly I never go on Twitter, by the way. No, but I mean, they'll put it on SportsCenter. They're pulling it like it'll

Unknown Speaker 16:57

don't ask people.

Law Smith 17:00

Thanks. I don't want to

Speaker 2 17:05

know, so I want the facts. He's actually his Twitter. His his tweets are really funny. Like, they're pretty cutting like, someone will trash them and help. He'll fire back and it's pretty good. To the point.

Eric Readinger 17:19

I've definitely brought up visuals indeed him.

Law Smith 17:22

That's what I was saying. I was like, does he have joke writers doing this form?

Eric Readinger 17:27

Probably. Probably. It's believable. Right? It's absolutely believed or the TB

Law Smith 17:31

1203 60 method. Yes. Of Everything must be

Unknown Speaker 17:36

false in corporate umbrella. And then you think about

Law Smith 17:39

the last calendar year he's had calendar year. The last 365 days. He's had Yeah. Pretty bad. But not great when you're the best at what you do.

Eric Readinger 17:53

worst year of his life probably

Law Smith 17:55

got divorce so fast. A lot of money in crypto.

Eric Readinger 18:00

Stupid 10 Year $375 million contract. That broadcast.

Law Smith 18:05

Yeah, that makes even less sense to go like, you know what, I gotta do stand up comedy.

Eric Readinger 18:10

Right? You're gonna do it. It doesn't make any sense.

Law Smith 18:13

But if he does, right, his tweets, he might not be bad.

Eric Readinger 18:18

I hope he proves me so wrong. And he becomes my favorite stand up comic. I will be the weirdest he's the goat and he's he's also hilarious. What

Law Smith 18:27

bigger picture is too famous. You can't write there's no,

Eric Readinger 18:31

Tom Brady's gonna be the stress. It's sold out big surprise. This huge bomb arena, right?

Law Smith 18:39

Here's the thing with comedy, like Blake Griffin. I heard was good. Like, seven years ago doing it? He did it just for laughs Montreal and it was like, Oh, yeah. Neal Brennan was helping him. Write some of it. I've actually lighted but like

Eric Readinger 18:57

he was in something. He was either

Law Smith 18:59

part. He's funny. He's funny for like, for what it is. He's no OJ Simpson has no Nordberg

Speaker 3 19:05

Oh, nobody wants to be Nordberg people forget he was a Naked Gun. Oh, yeah.

Eric Readinger 19:10

The first one. He's barely in it. Yeah, but the third one because at the end, you know, he's doing a lot of slapstick.

Law Smith 19:16

That's pretty funny. Yeah. For a guy that's Uber angry.

Eric Readinger 19:22

Yes. Lady anger issues.

Law Smith 19:25

So Tom Brady. Now. I thought about this way too long. Last night when I couldn't fall asleep, and I was just like, Alright, he's also looking weird, too. He started to look that definitely got a facelift. Everybody looked up Tony Dungy and Tom Brady picture that you showed me on the show. And their eyes look crazy eyes like a chick that yeah, that fucks real nice. But you don't want to marry. Like intense, right?

Eric Readinger 19:55

Yeah. I never got that vibe from Tony Dungy

Law Smith 19:59

Fox Do the fuck religiously.

Eric Readinger 20:02

On You over there. Give me let me get off Tony. Well, he's

Law Smith 20:06

got to have something he doesn't. He doesn't do anything. He's, if I told you I was on a flight, read the Bible read the Bible for four hours on a flight in the middle seat. And I could see him reading the whole time. I was so depressing. Just not not even he walked the walk, I

Eric Readinger 20:26

guess.

Law Smith 20:27

No, I do like I do like that. It's an iPad Tony see of people that are phony. He's legit, especially the religious. Yeah. So Tom Brady doing stand up now. A lot of thoughts. He has. He does have stuff this year to talk about. He's got a

Eric Readinger 20:45

very unique point of view. I mean, who else can say shit that he can say and that'll be interesting. I really hope it is true, man.

Law Smith 20:53

It's really tough to make that lateral move that not lateral. But like if you're already famous in the new gift, stand up and go, right. You're Jeremy pins, your Crisco tans, your creamers. He well he was a stand up. Yeah, but before he was on taxi or whatever, yeah, but

Eric Readinger 21:12

stand up back then.

Law Smith 21:13

I told you a song to two weeks before he dropped the N bomb thing at the level right

Eric Readinger 21:19

and I know it

Law Smith 21:20

was weird. It was the it was ready to stand up was terrible. I'm sure it was weird. It was like Is he like having a schizophrenic break? Like I remember he talked about Jesus walking on water in Malibu and everyone was like what? And literally two weeks before that that happened at the same club in 2006 at so like if you put TV 12 method maybe he's like a Scientologists maybe he's got Tom Cruise thing where it's just like whatever I'm doing. I'm gonna crush it dude.

Eric Readinger 21:58

Right? Dissolves instance

Law Smith 22:01

he flies a jet knows how to do that.

Eric Readinger 22:05

Yeah, Tom Cruise. Yeah. Brady probably does

Speaker 2 22:08

too. Oh, Scientology eyes that's good way to put it that's that's that's actually closer to what it is. And believe me it is be crazy women. Yeah, he is like whatever our eyes I give me money. Whatever upper echelon Scientologists money like level 47 Right.

Law Smith 22:32

Level your high Seaton or something like

Eric Readinger 22:34

that. So you want to get rid of this Tetons?

Unknown Speaker 22:38

I told you metal bugs that crawl

Eric Readinger 22:39

around your body. I've had lunch

Law Smith 22:41

with one of the highest Scientology. Scientologists that there is.

Unknown Speaker 22:47

I've already told you the story. No, I were that.

Law Smith 22:49

Like high. Like there's a certain level that you can't. Unless you're Dave Miscavige. Miscavige. Yeah. Unless you're that guy. It's pronounced and you were like see Captain jewelry.

Eric Readinger 23:03

Right as an admiral to let it burn know you're in charge.

Law Smith 23:06

Like he I think he's the highest living one you can be. And then right below that level. I met. Right when I moved to LA in oh six. Yeah, this is right around the same time with the Kramer, Lieutenant. My aunt, her BFF growing up was gay Ribisi Giovanni would be CS. I remember this is also her. He she's the agent for her and, or him and her daughter. And she has like I said up lunch. You know, you're gonna meet her here and here. Just don't bring up Scientology. I was like,

Eric Readinger 23:43

I will definitely bring that I didn't

Law Smith 23:44

know this part until you told me this. It's like when I go do stand up and someone's like, okay, so whatever you do, there's there's some Deaf people. Right? And so there's gonna be a burn victim in

Eric Readinger 23:57

the front row. Do not not look at her crying

Law Smith 24:00

God. You all you it's pink elephant. You just put it in my head. Yeah. So Tom Brady. I think if he if he really puts effort, now he has time. One would say his marriage didn't have the effort. But that's complicated. And that takes two to tango. That burn that takes two to tango, though. We don't know the other side. I don't know what happened to him in our duties. He was do you see the 10s he was already hitting up like immediately after the news broke. I think you'll be okay. Yeah. You'll be fine. And then he's got $400 and $400 million contract waiting for him from Fox. And he can he just got 35 He's gonna get 35 million from the bucks this year. Yeah, I think that's why he's sitting out honestly. We have dead cat money as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just 35 mil

Eric Readinger 24:50

to 200 next year might be a little rough.

Law Smith 24:53

It's gonna be real rough. And then I don't know he's got stuff to pull. I can go back and forth on it. This is almost like would you rather have a dick for nose or balls for years?

Unknown Speaker 25:03

Well, we do have that would you rather boat?

Law Smith 25:05

Yeah. Good segue Pro, like a pro? Did you almost forgot we have that? You want to philosophical question Yeah, give

Eric Readinger 25:14

me a Philly

Law Smith 25:18

you know kind of thinking of Schrodinger cat the other day, you know turning or scanning? And this goes till philosophical question. You know if a tree falls in a forest doesn't make us out.

Eric Readinger 25:32

Right, prove it.

Law Smith 25:35

That's your answer, prove it.

Eric Readinger 25:38

It makes it sound if I'm there to hear it.

Law Smith 25:40

Okay, so this, this does break down into an interesting kind of, you know, follow up question. So, is the actual reality we live in the same if it's not observed? Right? It's not. It's not the same reality.

Eric Readinger 25:57

We don't observe it. It's not there. I watched the like, a two hour podcast by a mathematician. In, in the intro of the show, you talked about watching our podcast, my balls are watching apart,

Law Smith 26:14

I can't see you sitting down to watch one that was up on a

Eric Readinger 26:17

second screen. It was like a mathematician talking about the odds of human life coming to be known as it is, I think he says is mathematically zero. Like was after. Like, it's impossible for it to have happen this way. And I really should have if I was going to talk about I should have

Law Smith 26:41

no, no, you got guys ugly,

Eric Readinger 26:43

the guy, you know, he's saying that, like everything is being formed in a way that our evolution is able to perceive it. Like there's a lot more stuff going on around us. But we evolved in a way that we don't need it. So we don't see it. Hear it, feel it anything like that? It doesn't. It doesn't benefit us evolutionarily.

Law Smith 27:07

Okay. You're not even high right now. That was pretty impressive.

Eric Readinger 27:11

Yeah. But I mean, maybe more than more stuff they do the more like research they do on it. They're like, we don't know. We don't know how this is working. Because they're pretty sure it's like a hologram or something.

Law Smith 27:24

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't like when people say we're in the matrix. I think we went over that. Yes, I know. Because I think that's just too easy. Because we had a movie.

Eric Readinger 27:35

Yeah. I mean, it's I know it's shorthand. But you know, it's, it's super interesting. I love talking about it. More when am I? But you know,

Law Smith 27:48

so? Because I'm more in the camp that it does make a sound? Yeah, these are these are called Zen. Buddhist, Zen. koans. I think without zones, I don't Man, I should look this up. Alright, hit me.

Eric Readinger 28:05

Would you do over the last five years of your life knowing what you know? Or have five years added to your life?

Law Smith 28:14

It'd be worth it again.

Eric Readinger 28:16

Do you rather redo the last five years or have five years added to the end of your life?

Law Smith 28:21

Oh, well, these last five years? Well, right. I was gonna say the last five years were pretty rough personally. Right, but it's over. But knowing what I know now.

Eric Readinger 28:34

I think five years is the end.

Law Smith 28:37

gonna live to be like 120. So you know, 125 Yeah, but what? What am I going to do that? I'm gonna start talking.

Eric Readinger 28:46

Well, who knows what. Then you might have a robot arm that kicks ass.

Law Smith 28:51

Alright, if I go back five years. Do I know I went back five years?

Eric Readinger 28:57

Yes. Then you get the knowledge. Absolutely.

Law Smith 29:00

Yes. I would take the go backwards. You can redo I guess I can't get to see my kids another five years. Okay, fine when they're little right.

Unknown Speaker 29:10

Okay, because that's that's

Law Smith 29:11

really the time is a commodity thing. If you really tried to be present around the kids, like take it all in a lot more.

Eric Readinger 29:19

Some of these are really lame. Did you ever rather have like long distance or online relationship? What's the fucking difference?

Law Smith 29:28

Yeah, I'm glad you pre Pro. They didn't even earmark some of these. I

Eric Readinger 29:33

had one. But I didn't remember the exact wording and it was important what the wording was. I lost it. That was great. Would you rather drink water with a dead rat in or drink your own urine when you're dehydrated? Your urine all day?

Law Smith 29:46

Yeah.

Eric Readinger 29:48

Give me that PB.

Law Smith 29:49

I'll drink it for real not beer. Gryllus fake right.

Eric Readinger 29:52

Would you rather have a mustache that can never be shaved? Or an extra tongue

Law Smith 29:59

monster Do I get Wait? Is it my mustache? Or do I get to pick the mustache?

Eric Readinger 30:04

You know what I'm gonna give you whatever mustache you want. Oh, mustache then

Law Smith 30:07

yeah, by far. You get two tongues. That's

Eric Readinger 30:11

what does that look good? Does that do you? Oh, talk

Unknown Speaker 30:13

all we're ladies like

Eric Readinger 30:15

it. You could switch off.

Law Smith 30:17

I can't think of an animal that has two tongues. So I can't really can't conceptualize. Do they have?

Eric Readinger 30:23

Is there any animal?

Unknown Speaker 30:26

I'm sure there's a fish or something. Would you rather hear

Eric Readinger 30:29

or move like a 90 year old senior?

Law Smith 30:33

Well, I got I got the hearing already. Oh, here's, I'm gonna go here. Because, you know, honestly, if you really add up all the things you hear all day, not that great, right? Lots of times. I

Eric Readinger 30:46

wish my hearing was just turned

Law Smith 30:47

off. Would you rather be blind or deaf? There's one I remember from my religion class deaths all day. Yeah. And that, that he that my teacher started breaking down. It was a former priest and he was like, is Irish and it's just like, how could you not want to see and did like, almost started crying and we're like, do this was your right? Sir. Mr. Kelly take it easy dude.

Eric Readinger 31:12

would rather have a road trip with Donald Trump or OJ Simpson in this book. After we talk. What

Law Smith 31:17

year was this published? 2006.

Eric Readinger 31:21

Is it gonna pass? No, I'm joking. I don't know.

Law Smith 31:23

I was like, damn, did I 2018 all the way did.

Speaker 3 31:28

Yeah. What do you agree with that? Because

Law Smith 31:31

you got OJ Simpson. Just go ah, what the world is doing like videos of you don't know.

Eric Readinger 31:36

So sudden hand movements. Oh, Jay.

Law Smith 31:38

Have you seen the OJ? No. Oh, you don't want you don't know Twitter? No, but there's so bad. It's made it outside of Twitter. Because he does like selfie videos. He's like, hello, Twitter world. Oh, you know, that called the Super Bowl. What? It was legit. Like he'll do shit like that from the golf course. And you're like, What are you doing, dude?

Eric Readinger 31:59

Thanks for weighing in. Oh, Jay.

Law Smith 32:00

He's such a psychopath.

Eric Readinger 32:02

He splits Yeah. egomaniac, right. Everybody's got to hear what I think about this. My dad's best friend would rather spend a year living at a nudist colony or within the Amish community.

Law Smith 32:15

Man, I've done stand up comedy at a nudist colony. And it is not pretty. When you're a kid, you're like, Yeah, nudist colonies. Awesome. But it's never the

Eric Readinger 32:27

reality is like, Oh no, it's me. If you want to be naked all the time. Part

Law Smith 32:32

of me goes Amish because it might be not like all things I don't have. Do I have to take care of what normal day to day in this scenario.

Eric Readinger 32:42

Feet up and like watch them build a barn you gotta

Law Smith 32:45

like my responsibility. I have kids, right? They have to go to the news county or Amish.

Eric Readinger 32:52

Get out of it. We're 18 years old. The whole life in front of us. Do you go to the nudist colony or the ominous you know?

Law Smith 33:01

That lazy part of me would probably say nudists but if I really thought about it, it probably be good to go Amish for a year and just do almost a reverse Rumspringa Yeah, we're good point and you learn carpentry, and you probably get a lot of you know, writing or whatever. You know stuff

Eric Readinger 33:19

about horses and stuff. I

Law Smith 33:22

should have learned as a

Eric Readinger 33:23

kid hats they wear. What else? Yeah, but really Amish beards have beards. Weird beards. chinstrap beards for some reason, and you're bringing a lot of you don't on they're not allowed to have a mustache.

Law Smith 33:36

And you'd be like a badass storyteller to everybody. Because you're like, here's what the outside world's telling stories about technology. This is this is what's going on out there. And like, you'd be like, almost like a wizard. Yeah.

Eric Readinger 33:50

To do okay. I mean, what realistically though, what would we bring to the table that they'd be like, Wow. I think if you give me my laptop, I could show you Oh, cool. Shit. I'd start

Law Smith 34:01

lying and stuff. I just just really improv. Like, yeah,

Eric Readinger 34:06

what are they gonna do? You're gonna senator is, yeah, we're going to look it up.

Law Smith 34:10

You can go into civilization and come back back to your, your place.

Eric Readinger 34:15

Right. So they've already heard all the good stories. No one No

Law Smith 34:18

one talks to them. What do they do? No, they come back. Now. They're weird, like Jewish Orthodox kids. You ever seen those YouTube videos? They like fuck, they will fuck with people. Like, like shitty 13 year old Jewish Orthodox. They'll just I saw a video of like a guy playing golf and they just like, basically strongarm his golf cart away from them. And like, there's like 17 of them. And they're just like, This is ours. And he's like, can you get out and they're like, they just don't even reply to them. Well, yeah,

Eric Readinger 34:55

that's like weird intimidation.

Law Smith 34:57

That's the boring version for they used to do in Chicago like 10 years ago they would. They would straw they wouldn't do any weapons but they get like 50 guys together and just strong armed robber place.

Eric Readinger 35:11

It was good one and shot rat. Would you rather live in Canada or Mexico for a year?

Law Smith 35:20

That's tough.

Unknown Speaker 35:23

I'm going to Mexico.

Law Smith 35:25

I'm going to Mexico. Well, if it's random Mexico, that's tough, but I get to pick you get to pick Mexico for sure. Yeah. But like, I'm going to to loom because that's where all hot chicks go for like a detox. Not like a real, not like a real rehab thing, but they go

Eric Readinger 35:45

they go get a colonic, the cucumbers on their eyeball. They do yoga. Oh my god. I'm so regenerated.

Law Smith 35:52

They do yoga on a paddleboard. They do crystal stuff like I've only seen hot girls in my Instagram feed posts from Toulouse or I don't know, Gu l u m.

Eric Readinger 36:06

Yeah,

Law Smith 36:07

I'm sure. I'm sure I'm very gringo in this up. That's how we broke into great back to gringo. Yeah, there you go.

Unknown Speaker 36:17
