  1. “Gonna have to eat a lot of shit, and you're gonna have to examine why you're not funny, and you're gonna have to spend a lot of time with uncomfortable thoughts and try to figure out what it is. Like what's missing? Like, you know, could you edit your stuff and make it better? Maybe you need to do drugs. Maybe you need to get involved in psychedelic drugs and rethink the way you interface with reality itself. Maybe you need your heartbroken. Maybe you need to be in love. Maybe there's a lot of maybes there. Like maybe you just need more life experience. But when I started comedy, I was 21 and I was a moron. I had no information. I could do impressions of people and I could talk about sex.”

  2. “Is torture, and it's also not something you can learn. Like, here's the thing if you play guitar, you can learn to play guitar. Someone can teach you the chords. And if you do it, you could do all along the watchtower. You could play it. You can't teach someone how to do comedy.”

  3. “Many comics will say this, and I think Dane Cook was the first person I heard say it publicly if he ever had to go back and do it again from scratch doesn't think he could do it, doesn't think he could endure the struggle of open mic to ultimately to success. And the numbers of people that try it and fail versus try and succeed are off the charts. I don't know if there's any other art form that has such a low rate of success.”

  4. “The audience who were like falling out of their chairs just die and laughing, just swaying back and forth. And I was laughing hard too. And I was like, my God, this guy is doing this just by talking. And I thought of all the great movies that I'd seen that I love that were hilarious comedy movies. And I was like, nothing that I've ever seen is as funny as this. And all he's doing is talking. And that planted a seed in my head for my love of stand-up comedy and my curiosity about the art form. And that's what got me interested in watching it on television and then ultimately going to open Mike Nights and then eventually doing it.”

  5. “Yeah, and no one took that risk more than Lenny Bruce. Lenny Bruce's arrested many, many times. And ultimately, it wound up costing him his life. I mean, he died on the bathroom floor shooting heroin and trying to cope with all the lawsuits that he was going through. This guy was constantly being arrested and constantly going through lawsuits. And then his comedy deteriorated horribly. There's some footage of him towards the end of his career where he's essentially would go on stage with legal papers and read from the legal papers about his case. From then it's Richard Pryor. From him then the next great is Richard Pryor. And he had the most profound impact on me when I was a kid. When I was 15 years old, my parents took me to see live at the Sunset Strip, which is Richard Prior's concert film. And I remember very distinctly being in that audience and laughing and looking around at all the people.”

  6. “And the civilization that existed in 1963, although it looked pretty similar, they're all driving cars and they're all wearing suits and they're all the old teams normal. It's a different world. And the things that he was saying. That they're not shocking, and it's not that good. It's not that funny.”

  7. “Social issues, you know, he would talk about life, he would talk about language, he would talk about laws, and it was just he was the very first guy who did modern stand up. And what's fascinating is if you go and you try to watch it. If you try to watch Lenny Bruce today, it doesn't work because society has evolved. Like, in many ways, art is a window, especially like pop culture art or modern, you know, at the time, culture art, art that discusses culture is a window into that time period. It's a little bit of a time machine. So you get to like, you have to put yourself. Like, what was it like to be in 1963? Like, what was he saying? In 1963, what was this like to hear him say this?”

  8. “Yeah, that was him. I mean. Was nothing artificial about Norm That was who he was. His brilliance was his essence. That was who he was, you know. But in terms of like the greats. The godfather of it all is Lenny Bruce. I mean, I have a bunch of Lenny Bruce concert posters at my house and photos that I have framed. And Whitney Cummings actually gave me this brilliant photo of him when he got arrested for one of the times when he got arrested for saying obscene jokes. He was the most important figure in the early days of comedy because he essentially gave birth to the modern art form of standup comedy. Before that, it was a bunch of guys that were like hosting shows and they would tell jokes. They would just like, you know, you know, two guys walking to a bar, that kind of stuff. And he would talk about.”

  9. “He was a great guy. I had a funny story about Norm twice just randomly. I was on airplanes next to him. Seated right next to him. Just totally random And one time we're on this airplane and we're having this talk and he's like, yeah, I quit smoking. I was smoking a lot and I just terrible, terrible smoke. It's terrible for you. And we have this great conversation. We get off the plane and he sprints towards a store and buys cigarettes, like in the airport and is lighting it on the way out the door. And I go, I thought you quit smoking. I was, yeah, I did. But all that talking about smoking made me wanted to smoke again. Before he's getting through the door of the airport, he's lighting it up. I can't wait. He can't wait to get that cigarette in him. He was just so crazy and impulsive and loved to gamble. Love gambling.”

  10. “I loved him. It was great. I always enjoyed talking to him. We just didn't work together that often. We weren't around each other that often. That's all it was. But it wasn't like, it was, I loved him, though.”

  11. “Like he loves it, as does Shane and as does Ari. They really love it, and it's so there's that, like I have friends in that way and I have martial arts friends who are some of the also the thing about being humbled, how things like jiu-jitsu will humble you. Martial arts friends are also, they know. They know who's been through it, you know. They know who really has gone through the gauntlet and emerged on the other end, a better person.”

  13. “Because, like, Shane will go too far, go too crazy, but we're just making each other laugh, and it's just fun. And it's like that kind of camaraderie between real comics is very precious to me”

  14. “Yeah, it's fucking too heavy. They want too much, and it's too much of a disproportionate relationship. You know, it's too unbalanced. Because there are people where you could tell that they're working toward something. They're working towards an angle. And they want to be close to you because you will benefit them. And then there's other people that are just, there's not that many of us. And so we all want to hang out together. Like one of the podcasts I love the most is this podcast I do called Protect Our Parks. It's a thing I do with. It's so fun because we just get obliterated and we talk so much shit. Like, there's conversations after that podcast where I go, hey, man, we got to cut that part out.”

  15. “Hopefully, I mean, if you're not, then people shy away from you. And there are people like that too that are really successful but that are what I call islands. I've talked to other comics about that. Like, you don't want to be an island. Because there's these people that aren't attached to the rest of the community. And they're doing well on their own. And usually they have like one opening act. They bring with them on the road. They've worked with forever. And they don't have comedy friends. And those people are miserable because They can't relate.”

  16. “Comics are pretty trustworthy. The good ones, the really good ones. Not that many of us. If there's a thousand professional comics on Earth, I'd be stunned. I'd be stunned. I don't even think there's a thousand, like real professionals who get booked all the time headline weekends at clubs and theaters and arenas. And then there's levels to that, right? There's like the guys who are middle-axe, who kind of like barely scrape by, and then like how many headliners are there? How many really funny headliners that I would say, you know, if you lex, you tell me you're going to be in Cincinnati. Hey, this person's playing at this club. Should I go see them? I'd be like, you know, like, how many people would I give the recommendation to? And then how many people sell out theaters? How many people sell out arenas? How many, there's not that fucking many. So those people at the levels of comedy where you've been doing stand up for 20 years.”

  17. “Air quotes I don't believe he's former. I'm sure he has some connection to him. I also believe he's a good guy, but I gain a lot of very intelligent and well-informed insights from him as to how things work. I'm sure he doesn't tell me everything about everything, but he's told me enough where I think I can understand things better from talking to him about the way the elves work. Work under the machine”

  18. “And then he felt like that wasn't enough. And he really needed to expose his own identity just to protect his life. Which is a great story. So you got to go, well, that seems so juicy. I want to buy into it. That's where I get nervous”

  19. “He was worried about his own life according to Bob, and that's why he went public with it. And initially, the first videos he did with George Knapp, they hit his identity.”

  20. “I guess I can. I mean, I guess everybody can be manipulated a certain way. I manipulate my own mind, I'm sure, too. I also spent a lot of time thinking about what I think. You know, I don't just accept things. Like the UFO thing. Like I was all in for a while and now I'm like, man, something smells fishy And then I'm thinking why here's my problem with the UFO thing I want it to be real so bad. That's my problem with it. I'm such a sucker. I want it to be real so bad, you know, and that's a problem for me because I'm aware of it. And so then I stop and think about like, what is my desire for UFO truth to be exposed? Well, it's because it's fun. That's what it is. So I have a desire for it to be real.”

  21. “Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the thing that really emerged when we were talking about during my cancellation, that there's a clear, there's no objective analysis of this in mainstream media. There's clear narratives that they're trying to push forward to whether it's to promote certain ideas or to diminish the power and reach of people who are mavericks or people who aren't connected to a system that you can't compromise. That's where it gets dangerous, right? Or it gets dangerous is when someone has the largest reach but is also completely detached. And clearly is independent in the sense of independent thinking has on whoever he wants.”

  22. “Mean It depends on what they're attempting to do, right? Like, if I felt like there was some deception involved and they were trying to use the podcast. A narrative in a deceptive way to trick people into things? Yeah, I would care.”

  23. “Yeah, I don't think everyone's an idiot, but I think there are enough idiots that it becomes a real problem if you're completely honest about everything you do You don't want to let everybody weigh in about things that are incredibly complex and that most people are ignorant of”

  24. “Let people know that this is a thing. My take is like that. I don't think they do that. I don't think they tell us. I think the government has a lot of contempt for the citizens. I really do. I think they have content for our intelligence. They have contempt for our need to know things. And I also think they think that they are running us. It's not we're all in this together and the government works for the people and the government is of the people. I don't think they think that way.”

  25. “I'm skeptical that it's their aliens. I think most likely it's a smokescreen, and most likely these are some sort of like incredibly advanced drones that they've developed that they want to pretend don't exist. That seems the more likely scenario because otherwise my take is like, what's the benefit of them discussing these things? Like what's the benefit of them discussing these things openly? These are the way they described it off world crafts not made from this earth Why? Why would they, why would they tell us that? I mean, unless there's an imminent. Of us being invaded. And they want to prepare people so they don't freak out as much. You know, like maybe freak them out a little bit, say that publicly. The New York Times article, the Pentagon discussing it, all these different things happen.”

  27. “Pushing the fire out the back, which forces the rocket at extreme speeds forward, that's something that does harness gravity, something that can distort space and time and can make travel from one point to another preposterously fast.”

  28. “Yeah, he's all in on this UFO phenomenon now. He's like, now the burden of proof is to people to come up with some sort of a conventional explanation for these things. He goes, because these things are defying all the concepts of physics that we currently know in terms of what our capabilities are and propulsion systems and so many other things that what we know about what current science is capable of reproducing as far as what we know. The problem is like these military projects that are top secret, like how much money do they have? They have a lot of money. But is it possible, and maybe you could speak to this, is it possible that there could be some propulsion systems that have been developed and implemented that are far beyond just the simple burning of rocket fuel?”

  29. “Right. Because the amount of time the light takes to reach us. Yeah. And then the thing that I've been really fascinated by is these alternative forms of transportation that they're discussing. the ability to harness wormholes and the ability to do things that a type three civilization is capable of. I had Michio Kaku on my podcast recently Fantastic. Love that guy. He's so good at taking extremely complex concepts and boiling them down for digestion and saying them in a way that other people can appreciate.”

  30. “The vast majority. Well, if you really take into account what we understand about the universe itself, what we understand about the concept of infinity and the way Neil deGrasse Tyson has explained to me is that not only are there life forms out there, but there's you. You are out there. Infinity is so large that Lex Friedman exists and doesn't just exist, but exists an infinite number of times, like the amount of interactions that cells and molecules, the same exact interactions that have happened here on Earth have happened in the exact same order, an infinite number of times in the cosmos.”

  31. “Or at least force people to have conversations about them and maybe attempt to debunk them because it seems so preposterous, but then get sucked down the rabbit hole and start going, hmm, maybe fucking. It's the thing is, like the Fermi paradox, like where are they, right? And when you take into account just the sheer raw numbers, the vast majority of people objectively assume that there is life out there.”

  32. “Okay. No, I didn't, man. That was what's weird about it. Not only did I not smell bullshit, I went over all of his interviews. He hasn't done a lot, but he's done enough. And he's done them over the course of 30 plus years It's alarming how consistent his story is, which is really weird when you think about your talking about back engineering, alien crafts, and working on a top secret government test site that's carved into the side of a mountain to camouflage it from satellites. It's such a wacky story. But the guy really did work at Los Alamos Labs. He really is a propulsions expert. He really is a scientist. Did he really work on back engineering UFOs? I don't know. But the way he described their motion is exactly like what's been observed by some of these pilots that have these videos that they've captured.”

  34. “Exactly what's going on. And then to be able to do that and broadcast it publicly, that's quite a project. And I think if you really want to do that correctly, it's something that I would have to research for a long time and to really, really, and I don't have that kind of time.”

  35. “Take time with Trump. But also, I'm not well versed enough to politically to know all of the corruption that's been alleged and to understand what the whole Russia gate stuff, what's real, like how much of it, it's clear that there is more than one organization that's involved in communicating with Russia before the 2016 elections. It's pretty clear that the Clinton administration was involved. It's pretty clear that the Trump administration had some communication with some people in Russia. It's pretty clear that Hunter Biden had some very suspicious dealings in Ukraine. And there's a lot going on there, man. And it's hard for anybody to parse. It's really hard for anybody, and especially to have an objective assessment of.”

  42. “The people that have watched those podcasts. Think he's hilarious. And they think that he definitely fucked up with that whole Sandy Hook thing. He's right more than he's wrong. And he's not an evil guy. He's just a guy who's had some psychotic breaks in his life. He's had some genuine mental health issues that he's addressed. He's had some serious bouts of alcoholism, some serious bouts of substance abuse. And they've contributed to some very poor thinking. But if you know the guy, if you get to know him, like I have, I've known him for more than 20 years. And if you know him on podcasts, you realize like he is genuinely trying to unearth some things that are genuinely disturbing for most people. Like, this is a guy that was telling me about Epstein's island fucking decade ago, at least. He was telling me about it. I was like, what? You're telling me there's a place where they bring elites to compromise them with underage girls.”

I mean, he's, if he was anyone else, if he was a Republican, if that was Donald Trump doing that, every fucking talk show would be screaming for him to be off the air. And by the way, I'm not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form. I've had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I've said no every time. I don't want to help him. I'm not interested in helping him.”

  45. “Of conflict between the various factions of thought in this country. It's already a weird time, you know, post-Trump, like the Trump era is also going to be one of the weirder times when people look back historically about the division in this country. He's such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself.”
