“Other people go, no, he spent a long time on it. But that's the real danger of going into that territory over and over again, going everything's a false flag or everything's fake. I think Alex has actually been kind of reasonable. He's resisted a lot of the politics of racial resentment on the alt-right, for example. He's resisted that. He's resisted the anti-Semitic currents of a lot of that politics, right? He's resisted a lot of the virulently anti-trans or anti-gay stuff. No, he does dip his toe into the water of like the culture wars. Of course he does. But I've never really seen him.”

“For being right, even though you were right more than when you were wrong. The problem was a lot of his fans who were crazy, stalked, harassed these families, and accused him of being actors and accused them of like faking their children's deaths. It was just horrific experience. And Alex is tied to that. And how much he inspired that by what he did on his show. I don't know because I haven't watched hours and hours of that particular thing like the whole Sandy Hook thing. If you listen to him, he says, I really covered it. I kind of covered it and moved on.”

“And putting all of those people in a category and getting rid of them is incredibly dangerous. To me, more so. I think the biggest problem that Alex has ever had was when he questioned the Sandy Hook shooting. And that really was, because it really is this identifiable incident that you can look at where it did get away from him. And a lot of his fans, the people that are attracted to conspiracy stuff, and I have some of those fans, some of them are really smart people. Some of them are mentally unwell. A lot of them happen to be mentally unwell. So when you have a fan base of people where some of them are mentally unwell and you are questioning, you know, tragic events, okay? And Alex was right about Epstein. He was right about a lot of things. And he's got no credit for that. And I understand that he's been sometimes when you write about 10 things and you're wrong about something and the thing you're wrong about is so offensive to people. You're never going to get any credit.”

“I don't think that Alex per se is dangerous for society. I think the greater danger for society comes again from stifling all dissent, right? All like anybody with a voice that uses it that critiques the government.”

“Coming off that, and it's very funny to just say Freeges Lane, hey man, believe all women. Like, it's just our politics and our public sphere is so schizophrenic right now that when you point that out, people are going to be angry with you. But that was a fun shirt to wear.”

“And but is it your choice? But at the end of the day, it's like, you know, all the tech writers, like a lot of people just, and I'm not, I'm just maligning tech unfairly, but a lot of people that sense of humor were like, he's advocating for human trafficker. I'm like, it's clearly a joke because we're coming off the believe all women.”

“I've been on Alex's show. I've had Alex on my show. I've talked to Alex for three hours in front of, I guess it was maybe like 15 million people right on Joe's show. It was a really wild conversation. I think it was one of the coolest Moments in broadcasting that clearly that I've ever been a part of, but I think it goes into lexicon of like these are big podcasts. I think it's one of the biggest podcasts. A week before the election, Alex Jones, I'm really grateful that Joe gave me the opportunity to be there. And it was just an amazing conversation to watch.”

“Personalities of people, man. And it's just, you know, when's the last time? Like, I like the idea of somebody's showing up to, you know, high school with like a backpack and taking out an old CD and being like, hey, man, here's this band you've never heard of that I love or whatever you got to get into this. And I'm like, you know, when I talk to young, you know, I have friends that have younger brothers and everything. And I know that the dominant culture was always dominant. I'm not an idiot. But I feel like it's harder to be unique and original now because so much of what's promoted is just this way to kind of corral people into believing and thinking a certain set of ideals that's constantly shifting and evolving. And people are just caught up in that. And to me, it gets very boring very quickly. I hate being bored.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not there yet, right? I mean, $75,000 dog is not doing anything, you know. So we're not there yet. Listen, I hate people. I get why you like AI so much. I hate people too. And I'm very amenable to AI. And I agree with you. Listen, I think the future, we got to get everyone out of here. I'm with you on that. So don't think I'm.”

“But what I tend to worry about, I see social media and technology existing to flatten society. It makes people very boring. All of the experiences kids have right now are online. Many of their closest friendships are online, their first relationships are online. The culture is very homogenous. And that's, I think it's eliminating characters. It's eliminating interesting people. It's making people into AI. All of their tastes.”

“Kobians, call by this, call by that. And the idea of the free exchange of information seems to be the old internet and it seems the new internet seems to be hyper, and I'm a capitalist, but this seems to be like hyper capitalist in the sense that like they only want you consuming things and they don't want you thinking too much. And that seems to be where it's heading. I've even seen that with Instagram where it's like everything on Instagram is like buy a sweatshirt. encouraging consumption but”

“Well, sure, and to make people feel better about things and to, you know, whatever the case may be, right? That's my goal is to kind of like, hey, people have had a shitty day. If this video or podcast makes you laugh, that's great. I think that it won't ever, it was never going to stop at Alex Jones. Not that I think he should have been taken off everything the way he was, but this keeps going until we have sanitized all of social media. And what they really want it to be is what Instagram has kind of becoming, which is a marketplace of you could just go and buy sneakers, go buy a sweatshirt.”

“retain the power they have by eliminating dissent where they can now because you don't have you know three broadcast networks anymore and a handful of newspapers that were all run by the way by people that had been either compromised or were happily you know happily going with the program And you have this wild west of the internet, people like me, people that make, I make funny content that I hope is funny, but a lot of it is wild and crazy. I say a lot of wild and crazy things. They're very funny. I say a lot of wild and crazy things about powerful people.”

“Absolutely. You're right. And what you're always told is like, if you don't like Twitter, create your own service. Right. Or if you don't like something, you can do your own thing. Or if you are. And basically because tech, you have to be in business with one of five companies. I think it's like Amazon, Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Twitter, whatever, I mean, Amazon puts everything on the cloud, you know, Google and YouTube. It's all basically the SEO and the advertising, and you get to get your name out there. You don't want to be buried. Like, because you have to do business with a cartel of these companies, you understand it better than anybody that you are prevented, truly. And I think whatever you think about Parlor, whatever you think about what people are saying on Parlor, whatever you think about Alex Jones, whatever you thought about Milianopoulos, the state has an interest.”

“This algorithmic paranoia now that we all kind of have because there are genuine instances of people being taken out of an algorithm, you know, rightly or wrongly, for however you want to believe. But then there are also things that just don't perform as well for a myriad of reasons. And then we're all saying like, well, they're against me. They're shutting me down. And you don't know if that's true or not, you know?”

“Rearranging that's what probably meant. I was saying do it, but I was saying, let's start thinking about Plans to do, like not let's do it, like, but let's get in the mind. Let's change the conversation. Think it's very interesting because as a comedian, you don't want to live in that world of worrying about algorithms, you don't want to worry about deplatforming and shadow banning. I mean, all these conversations that I've had with other comedians about shadow banning, I mean, it's hilarious. We all call each other. I think I'm being shadow banned. Are you being shadow banned? And nobody knew what that word was a month ago, I mean, a year ago, but everyone now is convinced that everything they do that isn't succeeding is being shadowbanned. So it's this new paranoia”

“So weird. We have titles where they got upset about, and I don't even understand. Like we had a title that was so innocuous in my opinion. And the title of the episode was called Bomb Disney World. And I was asking people to consider bombing Disney World. And YouTube got angry at that. So you don't know why. You can never understand why.”

“We lost a lot of views because we were kicked out of whatever algorithm, like we were just kicked out. And then I was asking YouTube about it. They were kind of understanding it. But even the people that worked there didn't truly seem to understand the algorithm. So can you explain to me how that works where they barely know what's going on?”

“It's a real knife fight out here in her entire life and become real estate. Her soul had been hollowed out. Her kids hate her. No one's made her come in years, but it's just she just loves heated floors and fused. Fun. She's a demon from hell and we need them. Truly. We're getting rid of them. It's not good And she goes to real knife fight out here. So we put that in the episode title. And of course, I guess some algorithm thought that we were showing like people stabbing each other in Wendy's. And we got demonetized. Did we get demonetized?”

“Yeah, it's fascinating because I speak to people at YouTube and I go, hey man, what's going on here? One of my episode titles of my podcast was called Knife Fight in Malibu. It was about real estate. And it was because a realtor in Malibu, I was trying to get a summer rental, which I can't really afford, but I don't think that's a huge problem. I follow my dreams So I called a realtor and she said, Listen, she goes, I don't know what the government's saying She goes, It's a real knife fight out here. You know, an old grizzled woman, real realtor tanned skin, sig out the mouth, driving a Porsche. Yeah.”

“Now, as a comedian, creator, whatever you want to call it, people that put out content, the gatekeepers are now algorithmic, right? So they are kind of almost AI already. So if you are a person that puts out, you know, YouTube videos, podcasts, whatever you're doing, it used to be a guy in the back of the room with a cigar saying, I like you or get him out of here. Now it's an algorithm you barely understand. Like I talk to people at YouTube, but I don't know if they understand the algorithms. Don't that's fascinating.”

“Smoking cigarettes going. I'm going to build it back. And we know what it's like to win. But anything in between, it seems not that great. So to me, it feels like, are we going to be able to like help people that are displaced and that have their jobs taken by, I mean, do you not fear sort of a world where you have a lot of artificial intelligence? Replacing workers and then what happens?”

“Well, I'm concerned about AI completely getting rid of the need for human beings because human beings, I mean, you go out in the street and you go, so few of these people are necessary. Even now, even now you look at people and you go, they're hanging on by a thread, right? And you can just imagine how many jobs are going to get replaced, how many industries are going to be completely remade with AI and the pace of change worries me a little bit because we do a very bad job in this country of mitigation when we have problems. We don't do a great job. We did not great job with COVID, right? We don't do a good job. It's just something we don't do well. We kind of, we're good in booms and busts. We're good when it's good. And we're actually, we kind of know how to kind of like, hey, we're bottomed out. We're like a gambling addict in this country. We like, we know what it feels like to be outside of an OTB at 9 a.m. drinking coffee.”

“Oh, yeah, I mean, I would like to start replacing friends and family with robots immediately. I mean truly, truly. I mean, I'm not even kidding. Like, I would like to have a Thanksgiving with four robots. I'm dead serious. Are they into QAnon? Are the robots, when do the robots start going crazy? That's my question. It's like, how long do the robots live with me before they are also a problem? And I got to replace them. You know what I mean?”

But the vast majority of people have something they might key into that they're meant to do, like you loved robots, you love technology, and you found a place in that world where you thrive. But I think many people, a lot of people love robots, right? So a lot of people think everything you do is interesting. I think your shit is fascinating. I watch you or podcasts and I think it's very interesting. I have no place in your world. Know what I mean? I have no place in that world. I don't like remedial math.

I didn't care about being broke. I knew how to be broke. I was shameless to a degree. I would get on a stage night after night and be laughed at. I had a high threshold for being embarrassed. I had a high threshold for people thinking that I was a scumbag, right? And showing up at family parties and being like, yeah, I still really don't have a job. And I'm just work at comedy clubs, kind of. And I get booked when I can. And I was suited for it.

It was a little cigarette boat, and he just drove away. And then about an hour later, we went and we said, I think that guy took care of the bill. But she said, well, go talk to the bartender.

And the bartender, we see his father walk up to the bartender and say, point at us, pointed our table, and go and put the thumbs up. And the bartender nodded, and then the father walked over to our table and he said, listen, I just want to let you know I just bought you dinner.”

“Know so many people who will have deeply complicated feelings when I did drugs for many years and I spent time with some wild people and their parents were also wild people and some of their parents have done crazy things to them and have created situations that were not productive for child rearing. And so I know that when those people die, it's going to be a very mixed bag. There's going to be a lot of complex emotions, like, hey, we loved that guy, but also when we look back, he was a horrible father, a horrible husband. But he was fun. And we don't put enough stock in that, but there will be a push and pull. And I'll be the one kind of bringing up like, hey, he was a lot of fun.”

“My mother's best friend in the town I grew up in her husband shot himself in the driveway. And my mother's friend never got a chance to just grieve because he owed so much money she would come over and go, I hate him. I fucking hate him. And it was just such an interesting thing to see somebody who and her kids ended up getting angry at her for that because they didn't understand why she would hate a guy who was clearly, you know, suffering, but she goes, he took the selfish way out, he fucked us. And it was always interesting for me to... Just remember that, like, you can leave Earth and still be a problem. That's kind of a special person. So that's, I think, what I like my tombstone to read.”

“I would like it to say this has not been paid for. And I want my living relatives to struggle, to pay for it. And I think I would like them to be hounded every day. I would like people to call and go listen, we don't want to ever excavate a body, but we will because this has not been paid for. I love the idea of leaving the debt. Leaving the world in lots of debt that other people have to deal with. And I know people that have done that, I know people that have been in families where that's happened where. Someone has to sit and just curse the sky because they don't have a physical person anymore to be angry at. But they still have to deal with the decisions that person made. And that's deeply tragic, but that's always struck me as very funny.”
