Liquor and stuff like that They're into drugs A lot of circles, if you pull out a crackpipe, people would be like, I don't want to drink with you anymore.

  8. “So he made some calls, you know, to the tops, to the heads of big tech, got all the doing things media pages taken down. At the time, that was like a vast network of pages. And we ended up having to take the obviously, the video came down and he held the entire network of Instagram pages hostage. And so he made us agree to never post that video again and then somehow got all of our pages reinstated. So that was my first brush with like, you know, powerful people on drugs. And that was probably my last brush with powerful people on drugs.”

  10. “Interview and then I go, Burning Man, and then it's on to the next one. So I guess that could give a loose structure, but it's just like a punch in slapstick thing. Everything was going good until we interviewed this guy named DJ Soft Baby. But he was wearing a golden leotard with, once again, kaleidoscope glasses, shirtless, dancing like, you know, dancing. And he was eating chowder out of a plastic bowl. And he was like, this chowder is so fucking good. He's like, this is the best chowder I've ever had in my life. And he starts putting the chatter on his face. And he's like, I want the chowder all over me. Yeah. And so we just go, hey, man, can you just do a dance rest real quick just for some b-roll? He does a dance. We posted on Instagram the next morning doing things media CEO calls me, Reed. He says all of our pages are down.”

  11. “Yeah, so there was stuff like that. I interviewed Alex Gray, which was super cool about his first trip in San Francisco when he was in 1971, shortly after the summer of love. I got to do some pretty cool interviews, but still it was a semi-ambush style. I wouldn't say that we were doing journalism yet. It was still comedic video work.”

  12. “Right. But still, it was on the cruder end. There was one guy named Kimbo Slice with his burner name. He talked about taking a shit after taking a quarter of mushrooms and how he was seeing his childhood and visualizing his past life as the turreds were flowing into the toilet and just talks about the psychedelic union between pooing and taking shrimps.”

  15. “And so we went to Boulder real quick, did a test interview with some lady who talked about seeing ancestral aliens during a coyote retreat. And so it's pretty easy to extract trip reports from hippies and gutter punks and stuff like that or oagles. So we go to Burning Man, we start asking people like, you know, what's your craziest trip story? And they didn't have the same type of free-flowing storytelling style that like an on-the-cross punk in New Orleans might have where they're like, I don't give a fuck. I'll tell you whatever. These people were very bottled up about what they were willing to disclose. So we went on Burning Man Radio and we did a broadcast and we said, hey, we're psychedelic journalists. It was me and my friend Ciel at the time. I said, we're psychedelic journalists. We're parked on Tan and I, which is a cross street in BlackRock City. And we said we have a 1998 Catalina Coachman sport. It's an RV. We've set up a podcast studio. We're doing a show.”

  16. “So, anyways, we didn't know what to do because we'd try to film The initial idea for all gas no breaks was to instead of asking people what's her deepest darkest secret, it was what's the craziest trip you've been on. So, the idea was to not satirize drunk people, but satirize people who are fried on acid.”

  17. “Pretty well off in general. A lot of them have tech jobs or pretty high up in Silicon Valley. And Burning Man is where they go to take off, you know, to take the edge off and basically become their burner persona. On the playa, they become reborn. And they take ketamine and they wear kaleidoscope glasses and steampunk hats and they snort MDMA and they run around the sand. Listen to the snow.”

  18. “Who knows about cars? And even he doesn't know much about cars. So he's like, all right, I'm on it. So the RV was 20,000 The first event that we were called to cover was the Burning Man Festival. And that was tough because Burning Man is not too keen on filming. It's supposed to be a non-commercialized escape from reality. I mean, they have a gift economy set up. It's based upon like mutual participation and non-exploitation. And so the idea of making a Burning Man video was tough at first because burners often”

  19. “Typical. This guy knew it. That's the real science. Anyways, so the idea of all gas no breaks as a show was to combine the, I guess, road dog ethos of the all gas snowbreaks book with the presentation and editing style of quarter confessions. So as to take quarter confessions on the road, it was pretty much like a simulated hitchhiking experience, but with the editing and like punchy effects of quarter confessions, which is like I wear a suit, we do the fast zoom ins little effects, stuff like that. It was a, man, those are the best years. It was just so fun. I mean, imagine you're fresh out of college. You were just a doorman interviewing people about making out with their cousin and stuff and then boom, this company that you've never even heard of is willing to buy you an RV and give you 45k a year, which to me at the time was more money than I could possibly imagine. So I called my dad. I was like, dad, I need you to find me an RV because he's the only guy I know.”

  23. “And they contacted me pretty much like a week after I graduated from college in the May of 2019. And they said, hey, how would you like to produce a show? I was like, what do you mean? They were like, we'll get you an RV, we'll pay you $45K a year. You get to, we'll pay for gas, for food for two hotels a week, go out there, make content, and we'll be in the background just powering it all.”

  26. “Well, I talked to my YouTube partner today and he said that the Fox Five lawyers have for two weeks to comply with my counterappeal. But I spent 20 grand on human voiceovers in five different languages. So I invested probably in total, like 70K into this video. So even if it gets reinstated, the Steam's kind of been taken out of its trajectory.”

  27. “Yeah, but I'm taking them to court because I have the means to be able to do so. I'm a larger creator. I have an audience. I have the financial backing to do it. I can't imagine how many people out there are smaller creators with like not as much consumer of a fan base they can mobilize against someone like Fox 5 or the money to go to court. So I want to take them all the way there to set precedent for future cases so that these giant mainstream media conglomerates can't copyright strike documentary filmmakers at will. It doesn't make sense.”

  28. “So, the documentary was an hour and 45 minutes. We used 10 seconds of a news clip that was publicly broadcast by Fox 5 Vegas. And according to the Copyright Act of 1976, you're allowed to use any publicly broadcast news clip in a transformative capacity in any documentary film or research paper or broadcast or anything. They, specifically this corporation called Gray Media that controls the TV stations in almost every small town, they had lawyers hit up YouTube and YouTube complied with an illegal copyright strike to get our video immediately removed. And I'm a YouTube partner. I'm in the YouTube partner program. So to think that I wasn't forewarned is it's a bit strange, but it also smells like corruption to me to a certain extent.”

  31. “Breaking that shame cycle has to come first because you got to think, right? Like I'm from a generation that romanticizes vagrancy and homelessness to a certain extent if it's called van life or if it is done in a way that's sort of like Rolling Stone Willie Nelson hit the road. People who are above 50, they feel really embarrassed to be in this spiral of homelessness. They feel like failures. A lot of them have kids who they weren't there for. That's not the kind of pain that can be dealt with by giving someone a tiny A good step forward, but for someone to really make a change, they have to want to change. And so it's how do you help someone and guide themselves in the right direction? And if you're too paternalistic and you use shame as a method to get them to clean up, they're going to end up right where they started.”

  32. “And we sat down with a recovery specialist who works directly with them day in and day out. He explained to me that he's been trying to do the same thing. I tried to do in a one-week period for the past 10 years. And that they have deeper underlying traumas and pain that need to be dealt with far before they even take the steps to enter society as a housed person.”

  33. “We try to help a lot of them by getting them IDs. And when I made the documentary, I had this idea that it's a big roadblock for them is getting identification. Without IDs, you can't check a new homeless shelter. You can't do day labor. You can't qualify for housing. Nothing. So when we interviewed them, they'd basically tell us, if I had my ID, I wouldn't be here. And so we said, okay, we're going to really help this time. We're not just going to talk to them about their struggles. We're going to actively go out and get them IDs at the DMV. So we did that, and nothing really changed in their life.”

  34. “Well, the weird thing is, we don't really extract answers from people. What makes a good interview is when they're ready to talk More you have to talk and try to get an answer out of them, it's just not a good vibe. So we kind of look for people who appear to be already ready to talk, open body language. They seem confident and verbose and we approach them first.”

  35. “Right, exactly. Kids have to think about that. Or, you know, imagine if there's a video of your grandma or grandpa out there when he was a kid talking about eating ass. That's a horrible experience to discover that about your respected elder later in life is tough.”

  37. “That over time just gave me a bad feeling where I was like, you know what? I kind of feel like I am doing an ambush interview, especially because I'm presenting as so agreeable, yet the intention is to make something funny. And I get that that's what people do in the satire sphere. I'm sure LEG and Bruno and Borat did the same thing. And I don't think it's unethical because that's all for the purposes of comedy. It is what it is. But for me, I wanted to do something different.”

  39. “Yeah, a lot of people do mention that. Also, that's kind of where I develop this magnetism for freestyle wrapping. Everywhere I go, people rap. Sure, why as a former rapper myself in middle school and for the first year of high school, I think that maybe like it takes one to no one. But everywhere I go, people start rapping. If you and me went outside of this podcast studio and walked around for five minutes, I could find somebody.”

I remember I was walking down Bourbon and I asked this kid, I was like, what's your deep historic secret? And he told me, he's like, I just smoked a dude in the magnolia to Project Housing the Third Ward. And they said, I just smoked a dude in the Magnolia playground for touching my sister, molesting his sister. And I was like, what? And he was like, yeah, look it up. And I was like, all right, hold on. And it was like, man found dead in Central City playground appeared to be homeless, shot execution style. So I told the kid, I was like, why'd you tell me that? He's like, man, put that shit out there. Like, I'm trying to go viral. Like, tag me too.”

And we post it the next day. And so we tried that and it went viral on Instagram instantly. It was mostly incest stories, you know, people admitting to incest. I know it's a common southern stereotype, but there's some truth to it. There was some murder confessions. That was pretty crazy. We never really posted any of those, but...”

I lived about 12 blocks down Bourbon in a small creole cottage in a cute little orange, old school New Orleans one-story spot. I lived in the attic above these gay meth dealers named Frankie and Johnny. And so I would get off work and I would basically have to walk through like this battlefield. I mean, it was a battlefield. Getting home was out of like the Warriors movie. It was almost impossible.”

And that was when Bourbon Street.”

  50. “I mean, I was a host at a fine dining restaurant that on the corner of Bourbon and Iberville. So that's the first street if you go from canal street onto the quarter. So this is like across from a daco-y spot. It's the middle of the tourist corridor of New Orleans. And the spot was kind of like kind of a tourist trap. It was called Bourbon House. The food was good. Chef Eric, I don't want you to see this and think you don't make good Andouille sausages, but it was overpriced. And so I had to, we had to maintain this like fine dining facade on a street where almost everyone is like throwing up fighting or is half naked. So there was this policy. We had these giant glass windows next to the tables. So if you're eating at a bourbon house, you can look out onto Bourbon Street and you can see as you're dining a full panoramic view of all these partiers throwing beads, boobs, all that.”
