Must be nice.From there it’s just chaos—spit takes, unhinged reveals, Two Truths and a Lie, a quick Bieber Fever throwback, a mini Val-from-DWTS spiral, and at some point, someone is forced to text “the rash went away…” to a very unsuspecting contact.It’s ridiculous, it’s unfiltered, and it fully feels like you’re eavesdropping on two friends who should not be left alone with microphones.If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

PLUS, FOLLOW OUR PODCAST INSTAGRAM HERE!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: (2:18) - Like, this would be like if the ops wrote the book about you. Because I felt like the only way I could have a good memoirs of felt like somebody was trying to take me down. Because, you know, my story is in my mind. It's like a tragic journey of, like almost being so close for so many times. But, you know, that's why I haven't given up hope because my time is still coming one day. I love that about you. I love that you you're still a believer in.(26:19) - What would you say the percentage was of how much was actually you and how much was a character you're playing? I'd say in the beginning it was just like kind of goofy, like just how I was more fun. And then when it started going darker, it was really forced. And you're you're just redoing things so many times in so many ways, and you're reading their beats. So the energy just becomes like a toxic frequency… I think I could have done it just like, you know, way sharper. Whereas people I would still say what I was saying, but like, articulate it so, you know, still be the bad guy, but just get better sentences out. So the audience didn't hate me for just being insane verses, oh wow, he's really sad. Who knows? It was an impossible situation.(48:20) - That's not just like a couple things you lost. Like you guys lost everything. Everything. And then back to the crystals. I put all of my money into crystals since 2008, and people joke about it like, oh, all my crystals could have been in a museum like I had museum grade specimens that were going up in value every year getting more rare. It was my kid's inheritance.(53:11) - I was forced because this lady, Karen Bass, who is rerunning who's probably, God forbid, if I didn't even step in, she was for sure winning and getting four more years. So if somebody had stepped up that, as they would say, has more experience and more qualifications and was saying all the truth about this mayor, I wouldn't even add again, I would just be focusing on selling my book, which is so much easier than trying to deal with running for mayor of Los Angeles. So the idea that, oh, I'm running for mayor to help my books, I can just do all these podcasts only about my book and not talk about you know, our city being destroyed. So, no, I do not want to be doing this. And it's it's kind of like, if I don't, then who will? Evil wins. Yeah, I look at it and and to me, at this stage in my life, it's I'm way more into the spiritual warfare era of my existence.
