Roast Battle as comedy’s “safe space” for brutal jokes
- JRJoe Rogan
Boo, boo, boo, boom. Brian Moses, you are one of the saviors of comedy. I want you to know this. Honestly, truly, really, 'cause the Roast Battle, Roast Battle is like one of the last real, like, sanctuaries for horrible comedy, like, nasty-
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... evil, fucked up, but hilarious comedy. And the way you do it, where you make everybody hug it out at the end, and y- you know, and you, like, set the ground rules, no violence. This is just j- joke writing.
- BMBrian Moses
This is all, this is just, words don't hurt us.
- JRJoe Rogan
When I first came back to The Comedy Store, it was like, how many years ago it was now? It's like five years ago or something like that.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And-
- BMBrian Moses
The exile was over.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and when I saw Roast Battle, it was one of the things that made me go, "Whoa, this place is different now. This place has changed. It's like, it's evolved."
- BMBrian Moses
We brought like, kind of like some like what of a, uh, a fight culture back to it. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
You know, like where, if you have a problem, you know, we're in a place where all we use is words anyway, so duke it out that way.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Well, not just that. There's people that don't have problems with each other and they just-
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... fuck each other up on that stage. (laughs) There's like people with like devastated friendships.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah, they ruin friendships. They, uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. (laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
But I mean, but nobody's ever attacked each other, so...
- JRJoe Rogan
That's amazing.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, 'cause I've been there a couple times. I stopped going. It makes me feel bad. (laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
Does it? It's consensual. Everybody-
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude.
- BMBrian Moses
... everybody's involved.
- JRJoe Rogan
I fucking, I'm the commentator for the UFC-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and Roast Battle makes me feel bad. (laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
That's the combat sport you don't like?
- JRJoe Rogan
Just stop and think about how crazy that is.
- BMBrian Moses
That's nuts. Why? How is that possible?
- 1:39 – 3:15
When roasts go too far: the anatomy of a shocking joke
- BMBrian Moses
Oh. I saw, there was a joke recently by, uh, it was Jimmy Carr and Megan Galey, and, and Jimmy was judging her and she was battling a puppet. That's how crazy this show gets. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
So this girl's got like a half hour on Comedy Central, she's, she's brilliant. And, uh, Jimmy said something snide to her, and her response was, "I wouldn't fuck you if you raped me."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- BMBrian Moses
And I was like, "That's... I can't believe I've never heard that before."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
And his response to that was, "Oh, you can say funny things." (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, wow.
- BMBrian Moses
It was gorgeous.
- JRJoe Rogan
I wouldn't fuck you if you raped me. How about... Hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) Let's break that down.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I would have to be like this about that joke. Hmm, I don't, I don't know if I'm going along with that one.
- BMBrian Moses
False premise.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
Not going along with that one. Why not?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know. Just-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, you're not fucking someone if they rape you.
- BMBrian Moses
No, no, 'cause it's not consensual rape.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ever. Yeah, so-
- BMBrian Moses
You're not giving it back.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it doesn't make sense.
- BMBrian Moses
All right. Well, I think-
- JRJoe Rogan
I get it.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah. (laughs) All right, I made a guess.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, I get what she's doing.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I get what she's saying.
- BMBrian Moses
It was just so hard, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 3:15 – 4:21
Progressive dogma, apologies, and the ‘trans kids’ culture war
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know that they made Mario Lopez apologize-
- BMBrian Moses
For what?
- JRJoe Rogan
... because he said that, "The babies shouldn't be trans."
- BMBrian Moses
Oh. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And he said, "I'm s- my, my comments were ignorant and insensitive 'cause I wanna keep my job at E!"
- BMBrian Moses
Right, exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's all it is.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He shoulda, he shoulda added that. He shoulda went, "dot, dot, dot, because I wanna keep my job at E!"
- BMBrian Moses
"Because I wanna keep my job." That's really all it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Three-year-old trans babies, what the fuck? Some, uh, Blaire White, who's actually a trans woman, had a hilarious quote. She goes, uh, "Three-year-old trans kids are like vegan cats. We know who's making the lifestyle choices."
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, message. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Boom. And she's trans.
- BMBrian Moses
Right. So she gets it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Which is hilarious.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, she can say it. She's free.
- GUGuest
Hey.
- JRJoe Rogan
Free like a bird.
- BMBrian Moses
I mean, what age?
- JRJoe Rogan
I- It ain't three. Should be in your 20s or something. You should be in your-
- BMBrian Moses
Like an adult.
- JRJoe Rogan
... f- fucking adults.
- BMBrian Moses
A full-grown adult, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Three-year-olds... What's the matter?
- GUGuest
The camera just cut off.
- JRJoe Rogan
The camera cut off? What?
- GUGuest
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
The fucking government. They don't want us talking about trans babies.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- 4:21 – 9:30
Race, identity, and ‘new racism’ vs. historical terror
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, hi, everybody. Um, yeah, I mean, we live in the weirdest time in terms of like progressive ideology being a-
- BMBrian Moses
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... dogma this year.
- BMBrian Moses
Gender's a construct, race is a construct, they're trying to bring it all down.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) But n- race is not a construct because no one's been successfully transracial.
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, that's true.
- JRJoe Rogan
Never, never been pulled off even remotely, not even-
- BMBrian Moses
Eddie Murphy-
- JRJoe Rogan
... not even close.
- BMBrian Moses
... on SNL.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but you could go black to white, like C- Dave Chappelle used to do it all the time. Remember he's do the roadman-
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, right. Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... with the crazy wig? (laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) Yeah, that was pretty good, too.
- JRJoe Rogan
You could, you could do black to-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... white and nobody cares. You used to be able to do white to Asian. You can't even do that anymore.
- BMBrian Moses
Mm-mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
But you could do a-
- BMBrian Moses
So you can't do transracial.
- JRJoe Rogan
You could probably go Asian to white.
- BMBrian Moses
People are really holding onto this race thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
Like, why is that? Why do we hold on to it?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
I mean, 'cause I don't look at you as like... I don't even know, I don't even know what you are.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) You're just a tank. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm, uh, mostly Italian, Irish, 1% Asian, 1.6% African.
- BMBrian Moses
See, and I don't even have that. I'm just like a nigga from America.
- 9:30 – 12:46
OJ Simpson’s Twitter: the surreal ‘voice of reason’ era
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Did you see OJ's fucking Twitter? Have you been paying attention to OJ's Twitter?
- BMBrian Moses
No, I don't follow it, Joe.
- JRJoe Rogan
(screams)
- BMBrian Moses
I just said you can't follow OJ on Twitter. That's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
I follow him.
- BMBrian Moses
Do you?
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
Why?
- JRJoe Rogan
Because it's great.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, Doug Stanhope and I, back in the day when we were hosting The Man Show, we had an idea for, uh, having OJ Simpson at the end of every show. OJ Simpson would be like, uh, Andy Rooney, and he would, like, break down the problems in America.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Here's what I think about things. Hey, Twitter world." And so that's what he's doing. He's literally doing what Doug and I wanted him to do on The Man Show, but he's doing it all on his own. Like, he was talking about the debates. He goes, "Is it just me, or does Tulsi and Andrew Yang, are they the only ones that are following the rules? I'm just saying."
- BMBrian Moses
Following the rules, OJ? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Let me see his hearing. Let me watch this play. Play it. Bring it back to the beginning. Give me some volume.
- NANarrator
Hey, Twitter world. Is it my imagination-
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa, hold up. Go to the beginning of so I can hear, "Hey, Twitter world." That's my favorite part.
- NANarrator
Hey, Twitter world.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- NANarrator
Is it my imagination that Yang and Gabbard are the only two who know how to follow the rules of this debate? ... want them to become better citizens. That's the essence of what- I'm just saying.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's just saying.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Voice of reason.
- BMBrian Moses
But wait, he can't even vote.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a catchphrase.
- BMBrian Moses
He's a convicted felon now, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
So yeah. Like, OJ, why, why are you even involved? You can't even vote.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because he's ...
- NANarrator
Wants to know where everything's going.
- 12:46 – 16:14
The OJ verdict, Rodney King context, and the PCP rabbit hole
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, my God. It was ... I was watching the, the verdict with my girlfriend at the time. We were sitting in front of the TV. And I'll never forget. When they said not guilty, my girlfriend put her hand on her face, went like ...
- BMBrian Moses
(gasps) No. No. No. That's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
She just couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe it, no.
- BMBrian Moses
Because I remember being like... I, I was like... It was either elementary school or it was middle school and I remember the verdict happening and it was, like, a split verdict. My teacher, who was white, she was, like, devastated. And, like, all the Black kids, it was like me and one other kid, we were (laughs) we were so happy. We were just like, "Yes." 'Cause we didn't know any better. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Sure.
- BMBrian Moses
We were just like... We're just happy because a Black guy got off because of what happened to Rodney King. We're just like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Exactly.
- BMBrian Moses
"This is redemption."
- JRJoe Rogan
That's how many people felt about it. They felt like-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the Rodney King thing was so fucked up that... I mean, the, the problem with the Rodney King thing is you only see the end.
- BMBrian Moses
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Apparently he led them on a crazy high-speed chase and there was fights and they-
- BMBrian Moses
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he was big fella. And he was on PCP.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah. So-
- JRJoe Rogan
So he was swinging for the fences.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And so they had to beat him down, apparently, according to the cops. But then, you know-
- BMBrian Moses
Well, PCP, like, makes your bones stronger, doesn't it?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, um, it makes you really, like, impervious to pain though.
- BMBrian Moses
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
I had a friend who got his finger bitten off when he was on PCP.
- BMBrian Moses
And never... He didn't feel it-
- JRJoe Rogan
He-
- BMBrian Moses
... until he woke up?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think he remembers 'cause he was so fucked up, but he was a boxer and he had his, uh, f- his toe removed, his, uh, not his p- not his pinky toe.
- BMBrian Moses
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or not his fat toe, the big toe, but the one next to it. And they put it where his index finger was on his right hand.
- BMBrian Moses
They moved his toe to his finger?
- 16:14 – 20:27
Chokeholds, fake black belts, and real murder cases
- BMBrian Moses
And the second case was a guy who, uh, like, actually choked a guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just with a rear naked choke-
- BMBrian Moses
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
... he killed him? I know a dude who killed a guy with a choke.
- BMBrian Moses
In the ring?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. Killed him in a, in a gym. He was banging this guy's wife.
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, he really went for him?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It was crazy. He was banging the guy's wife and he invited the guy to his school and then choked him to death and killed him, and then was driving the guy's car around town.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) Dude, that's cold-blooded.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then they arrested him. Yeah, he was a interesting character. He was a fake Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt. My friend Eddie Bravo called him out.
- BMBrian Moses
Wait a minute. Fake?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah. He was fake. He was a fake black belt.
- BMBrian Moses
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was c- telling everybody he was a black belt. And Eddie rolled with him and I remember him coming back to me and he's like, "That guy is not a black belt." And I go, "What? Are you sure?" And he goes, "Dude, he don't know anything." Like, it was too crazy. It was like he barely... It was like a white belt.
- BMBrian Moses
You can killed doing shit like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was like, I thought maybe he was doing it because he was e- eh, maybe he was just being nice and wasn't going hard. And he goes, "But then as time goes on," so he's like, "This guy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing."
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And so then he calls him up and, uh, and he was like, "Hey, are you a f- wh- are you a fucking black belt? Like, tell me you're bl-" And the guy's like, "Well, you know, I'm a black belt in Japanese jiu jitsu." He goes, "Stop, stop, stop, stop. Are you a fucking black belt?" And there's, like, this big pause. He's like, "Bro, you're a fucking liar. You're a liar." So Eddie separated himself from the guy and then years later, dude wound up murdering somebody.
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, sh- (laughs) What?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
With jiu jitsu?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he murdered a guy with jiu jitsu.
- BMBrian Moses
No, so he, he knew some-
- JRJoe Rogan
Just, just tried him, the guy. Well, you know, I could teach you how to put a choke in, in f- five seconds.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah?
- JRJoe Rogan
Wouldn't take long at all. Yeah. I could teach you how to do it. Just wrap your forearm underneath someone's neck, clamp your hand to your bicep, put this arm behind their head, squeeze. You could kill somebody. It's not a hard thing to learn. But to actually apply it to someone who knows what they're doing-
- BMBrian Moses
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... you'd have to get... You'd have to be really good. Like, you can't just... No one's gonna let you choke them, but this guy didn't know anything, so I think he snuck up behind this guy who he killed and just choked him.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Choked him to death.
- 20:27 – 24:11
Psychopath vs. sociopath—and what comedy success does to people
- BMBrian Moses
Well, what's worth it, worse, a psycho or a sociopath?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm. A sociopath is someone who doesn't care about someone. A psychopath, I think, is someone who violently attacks people. But in many ways, they're interchangeable. Like, let's, let's Google that. What is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath? 'Cause I think a sociopath can have no violent tendencies-
- BMBrian Moses
(coughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... but I think the idea is that they have no compassion for other people.
- BMBrian Moses
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, I have a friend and she thinks her sister's a sociopath.
- BMBrian Moses
Everybody thinks that everybody's a so- fucking sociopath these days.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
That's like a hot-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BMBrian Moses
That's, that's the hot word these days.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like calling somebody a racist-
- BMBrian Moses
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... or calling someone a Nazi.
- BMBrian Moses
Exactly. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- GUGuest
The quick thing I pulled up...
- BMBrian Moses
Well, put it up so we can read it.
- GUGuest
Yeah, you, well, you explained-
- BMBrian Moses
(clears throat)
- GUGuest
... exactly what it said, but there's just, like, a Venn diagram that's-
- BMBrian Moses
Oh.
- GUGuest
It's-
- BMBrian Moses
That's-
- GUGuest
... a better explanation.
- BMBrian Moses
By the way, every woman who's, you know, who's gonna hear this is gonna be like, "He is a sociopath."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, so there's something in the middle. There's like, he could be both. So, genetically predisposed.
- GUGuest
Why is it not working?
- JRJoe Rogan
(clears throat) A psychopath, genetically predisposed, lacks empathy and guilt.
- BMBrian Moses
So my, my parents would have to be psychopaths.
- 24:11 – 27:36
Open mics are packed now: podcasts, process-fandom, and Chappelle sightings
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah. And the, no better way to see it than the goddamn open mic nights.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) Bruh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoo.
- BMBrian Moses
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
At the store. I don't, I can't go anymore. I used to be able to go and just watch, but now it's so fucking crazy. It's just, I can't, I can't.
- BMBrian Moses
Especially at the Comedy Store because now there's a crowd now, that... I mean, back when... I mean, I remember when I was, like, coming up, there was no crowd. It was just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude.
- BMBrian Moses
It was just your peers.
- JRJoe Rogan
Open mic nights are packed.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Packed.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah, like with a real audience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah, like that's... You guys are, you guys are stealing.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's people that are f-... fans of comedy now that wanna see the process.
- BMBrian Moses
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they do.
- BMBrian Moses
Is that what that is?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of talk-
- BMBrian Moses
When did that change?
- JRJoe Rogan
(Coughing) Podcasts.
- BMBrian Moses
Oh, that makes sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
We started talking about it on podcasts and next thing you know, I think, over the last like six, seven years, you start to see people that are like, "I wanna know what it's like." What do they... 'Cause they love going to see like headliners, like if you-
- BMBrian Moses
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... if you love going to see the fully finished product, you wanna see what it's like to see... It's almost like going to watch an amateur's fight. Like, "I'll keep an eye on him, maybe one day he'll be the champ."
- BMBrian Moses
I hear that, but then it's also, I mean, there's that, but I, I feel like with fighting, yeah, you can kind of see somebody's style here and there, but with comedy you see everybody's style. You're gonna see a, a young guy who's probably doing like a Dave Chappelle type of thing-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
... and a guy who's doing like doing a Jim Gaffigan type of thing, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
A Joe Rogan kind of thing, you know?
- 27:36 – 43:04
AIDS panic then vs. now: tests, rumors, ‘bug chasers,’ and medical progress
- BMBrian Moses
There was a... You guys were scared of AIDS, this is the '90s, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
So yeah, so AIDS was big, you couldn't really fuck anybody.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, the first time I got an AIDS test I was so nervous.
- BMBrian Moses
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. I just was a slideshow of every bad decision I'd ever made. Every time I never wore a condom it's just going through my head. (imitating static) 'Cause everybody was convinced, there was a... It was funny because at the same time Kinison had a bit.
- BMBrian Moses
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Where he goes like, "They say, Sam, they say AIDS is a communicable disease. Straight people can get it too." He goes, "Name one!"
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Name one fucking guy! Fuck you, it's not our dance!"
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And people were so-
- BMBrian Moses
Did anybody know?
- JRJoe Rogan
People were so mad. Well, nobody I know.
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But I was just-
- BMBrian Moses
(clearing throat)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you know, we... When it happened, I remember in my car dr- I was living in Boston, in my car driving and I was listening to the radio. And Magic Johnson had a press conference to announce that he had HIV, and it was like a scene in a zombie movie where the first person got bit and I was like, "Oh, my god."
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"It's happening. Holy shit. I'm like, Magic Johnson with all his money? That guy's got HIV?"
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Oh my god, we're fucked. We're fucked." I remember thinking that. And then, uh, it was probably like a year or two later I got, I got an AIDS test.
- BMBrian Moses
(laughs) After Magic got it two years later. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I didn't have any money.
- BMBrian Moses
I think he did actually. Correct.
- JRJoe Rogan
I couldn't have got... I mean, I didn't have health insurance.
- BMBrian Moses
I forgot there was, like they cost money back then.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- BMBrian Moses
Okay, 'cause now they're just free.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Well, now they want people to not get AIDS.
- 43:04 – 56:57
Reparations, infrastructure, and incentivizing parenting/education (vs punishment)
- BMBrian Moses
See, which is ... That makes sense. And that's also why I say, like, I'm not real big into the reparations talk for Black people. I mean, I don't really know the ins and outs of it. People keep saying, like, "We need it."
- JRJoe Rogan
Get ready for Twitter hate.
- BMBrian Moses
I'm saying this. I'm saying how about-
- JRJoe Rogan
The new white k-
- BMBrian Moses
How, how about we incentivize parenting?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm. But can you do that? (clears throat)
- BMBrian Moses
Let's keep ... If- if you're watching your kids instead of, like, they're just out there ... 'Cause I mean, like, let's say ... Is- is reparations talk about, I don't know, infrastructure in Black communities?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- BMBrian Moses
And if that's the case, well then let's incentivize keeping the parents there, keeping the parents together. Or, if they're split up, it's just like, if you guys are teaching your kid and he, you know, he's in school every day or he survives, you know, eight years without a school shooting, every family gets like, you know, a big bonus. You know? Or if-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
... if he makes the honor roll, you know, like, you guys get this. It's like, you'd really be investing in your investments. Like, it take ... They say it takes 18 years to make back on your investment of your child. If you're, if you're incentivizing them to go to school for education, it's gonna make better people and a better society.
- JRJoe Rogan
Th- that seems good on paper. Now, if you're saying incentivize-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... like how would you incentivize them?
- BMBrian Moses
Right, I'm saying like, all right-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's always good ... It's a good ... It's always good-
- BMBrian Moses
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... to encourage people to be successful.
- BMBrian Moses
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
But how would you-
- BMBrian Moses
So, your kid tests well on some of these, like, aptitude tests, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BMBrian Moses
Then you get a stipend or something like that. I mean, it's like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- BMBrian Moses
What- what- what are these reparations we're talking about exactly? 'Cause exactly, I don't really know the ins and outs of it, but if it's about infrastructure of Black communities, I'm so into it, but it's also, let's incentivize keep- and you know, uh, being in the child's life.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a-
- BMBrian Moses
Because for a lot of the- for a lot of the reason these kids are ... Like they're- they're depressed and they feel like they have a chip on their shoulder because nobody's home watching them, and they go to these gangs and they go to, you know, these other things, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BMBrian Moses
It's because they're just not being watched.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, but what I think the idea behind reparations is that some people at one point in time were profiting off of slavery. Those people have used that money, and that money has become a part of really large businesses, many, many large businesses.

Like how mad you are, yeah.

The prosecutor had a real creepy way of describing it too. He said that he, he thought it was impossible for him to control, that his, his impulses were impossible for him to control, and he was a great flight risk. So they didn't want him to have, um... See if that's true.
- BMBrian Moses
So his therapist was saying this?

See if that's true.
- BMBrian Moses
So they're trying to protect him, but it's also like, are they trying to cure him?
