Ep. 135 – Richie the Barber: Clown-Tatted Conman & Witch Orgy Whistleblower
155 Plays2 years ago
If you spent your life in the church, I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of testimonies. The Christian redemption arc takes on a lot of different forms, but our favorite BY FAR is the “I was a bad dude livin’ life on the edge until I found God” trope. This week, we’re taking a look at a man with one such story. Richie the Barber is a guy who’s been grasping at fame for over a decade. Minus a few reality tv appearances and the occasional celebrity shoulder brushing, that fame just hasn’t materialized. So, what’s the all-too-familiar last step in the attention-craving silver screen wannabe’s shameless descent into anonymity? You guessed it: charismatic internet doomsday prophet! If you’re wondering what makes Richie at all unique, it’s the fact that he’s a clown… and I don’t mean that figuratively. This guy has used tattoos and body modification to turn himself into a literal clown. Picture one of the Ringling Brothers serving a 25-year sentence in a Spencer’s Gifts, and you should land pretty close. However, this clown is doing more than just handing out bowl cuts. He’s calling out every one of Satan’s reptilian acolytes in the entertainment industry. The Kardashians, Barak Obama, Bert Kreischer… you know, all of them! Join us as we take a few swings at the worst exorcist $200 can buy: Richie the Barber!

Grown Up Christian Hosts Discuss Gardening Investments
00:01:16
Speaker
Hello and welcome to another episode of Grown Up Christian. I'm Casey. I'm Sam. I'm Jeremiah. And this is the time of year. Okay, so I feel like we've spent maybe like, it feels like we've spent $50,000 on plants over the past two years between like house plants and landscaping. Do you guys like, do you go all out on that kind of crap?
00:01:40
Speaker
Not to that level, not to landscaping, but like our garden definitely has a lot of money has been invested in this year, but it's more like fencing and planner boxes and raised beds. And I have to go buy like a lot of dirt later this week because we scrounged together all the dirt we can get and it's just not enough. Your garden looks awesome. Thank you.
00:01:59
Speaker
I had to replace a couple trees this year because I forgot to water them enough last year. So we're hoping round two works, but I have forgotten to water them several times after planting them. So I don't do a lot in the greenery department. My grass is just solid weeds. There's nothing notable about my grass, but we have so many flowers and trees and we can't resist
00:02:25
Speaker
This is the time of year when everybody starts clearing out their greenhouse section before they all just get scorched in the, like, prairie blaze, you know? It's never a good idea. Like, you shouldn't buy trees, especially this time of year. The ground's hard as a rock. Like, you just can't water them enough, it seems like, to keep them healthy. It's just, like, the worst time of year to buy them. But they're, we went this weekend, and they're 70% off.
00:02:55
Speaker
I mean, how can you not like even if it's just a tree for a month or two, like you can still enjoy it? Yeah, you're losing money not buying them. I feel like I feel like I'm kind of like the plant version of one of those people that adopts old dogs.
Conspiracy Theories and Childhood Movies
00:03:10
Speaker
It's like
00:03:12
Speaker
Yeah, I suppose you can spend your final hours at my house. Final hours? What do you do to these dogs? And those dogs are also puppies and now the metaphor works a little more accurately. Yeah. I'm like one of those people that goes to an orphanage and I'm like, you can live out your remaining weeks with me.
00:03:32
Speaker
Dude, I wonder if there's a little subsection somewhere on the internet of people who have all the DHS conspiracies, but about, or not DHS, but what's the Department of Family and Child Services? DPS, DCF, it depends on what state you're in. Department of Children and Families, Department of Child Protection.
00:03:55
Speaker
I wonder if there's just like a corner of the Internet where people like have recycled all of the conspiracy theories about those being like pedophile demonist cults that like they're just like growing children for sacrifice and stuff, but about like golden retrievers. Puppy. I mean, it's discussed. That's the plot of Beethoven, which still blows my mind after you reintroduced me to that plot.
00:04:25
Speaker
I immediately afterwards, because my wife watched that movie a bunch when she was a kid, I was like, you watched Beethoven, because she was like, she's mentioned before we should have the kids watch Beethoven. So after our last conversation about it, I was like, you watched that movie a lot as a kid, right? She's like, yeah. I was like, do you remember the plot? And she's like, you know, now that you, I would have thought I did, but like now that you mentioned it, I guess I don't really remember what the plot was.
00:04:50
Speaker
And after I reminded her after our conversation, she was like, Jesus, I like completely forgot. It's like it's funny how that doesn't stick when that's such an egregious plot. Yeah. I've never seen Beethoven. What's the plot? It's an opposite spoiler alert for a 25 year old movie.
00:05:13
Speaker
So it's really a movie about a family that adopts a dog that's way too big and dirty and sloppery, but he's like smart and lovable and whatnot. But the subplot of it is there's like an evil veterinarian that is like secretly abducting large dogs to use to test like experimental bullets on their heads. Experimental bullets on their heads? I thought this was gonna be like pharmaceuticals.
00:05:41
Speaker
He's like holding up a like a 50 cal round and he's like, maybe something a little larger. That's the best they could think of for that movie was bullets.
00:05:56
Speaker
The stakes are high. I mean, you could be directing a dog for anything and the stakes would be like just as high. People would understand. It could be like, you know, we have to study him for science or whatever and kids would still be like, no, Beethoven said he's like, I want to shoot dogs in the head. Yeah. Instead they're testing out those cerebral bore from Turok two on dimes. Deep cut. I thought you were going to let go country for old men, like the cattle killer.
00:06:24
Speaker
That's a good one, too.
00:06:28
Speaker
What's the best movie from when you're a kid about, like, involving, like, centered around animals? What was your favorite? Oh, Jurassic Park. I mean, that- No, kids' movie. We watched it when we were kids. Our parents let us watch it. I did, too. We all had bad parents. Land Before Time. Does that count? Do dinosaurs- We're on dinosaurs, I guess. But I feel like Land Before Time was, like, the- I probably watched that more than anything before sticking with, like, animals that aren't extinct.
00:06:57
Speaker
Okay, let's say involving a.
00:07:00
Speaker
like a brick and mortar dog, you know, real life dog. I mean, Air Bud, I think I feel like that was the one that we watched the most. Air Bud and Bay. Incidentally, there was a really cool enemy villain in Air Bud, who was a creepy ass clown. Oh, perfect. A little foreboding. Were you guys aware that the Air Bud movies are not considered to be good movies? Yeah, very good. I genuinely did not know that information.
00:07:28
Speaker
I thought these were like well-regarded movies like Babe. You know, Babe is a classic movie. People look well of Babe. I thought it was the same for Air Bud. Yeah. Turns out people don't look back in hindsight on a dog playing basketball as a quality film. It's funny because it's like that tip. It's like they use the same mechanism for the dog being allowed to play basketball as they would for like girls playing sports on boys teams.
00:07:58
Speaker
They're like, the segregationist team from the 40s. They're like, well, the rules don't specific. Actually, the rules only say black people can't play basketball with us. It says nothing about Golden Retrievers. That's a loophole. And that's how progress is made. And it only worked because it was not a chocolate lab.
00:08:19
Speaker
Homeward Bound, though. Oh, fuck, man. Yeah, Homeward Bound. That was a shit. Babe is only a six point nine on IMDB. Maybe it isn't as well regarded as I thought. The director did not go on to do a whole lot of other stuff. But I feel like if it's a kids movie and it's over a five, it's probably it's OK. Like, yeah, I think Homeward Bound may have been the first movie I saw in the theater. Like I went to see it with a friend for their birthday.
00:08:43
Speaker
That was a theater movie, huh? Jesus. That was a great one, dude. I went and saw it in the theater, too. I might have seen it twice in the theater. It was good. I mean, I watched that one. That probably would have been a favorite. I watched that one so many times. Oh, that last scene with Shadow? That'd make your dad cry in the theater. And then he has to leave, act like he has to pee. I wanted you to appreciate, because this is a question I thought you were going to ask based on the conversation of
00:09:11
Speaker
your favorite animal movie or whatever, but because of the plot of Beethoven and the egregious violence behind it, I was thinking like you were going to go in the direction of a movie that was like violence, like the violence shocked you. What was like the first movie? Like it was disturbing in a way that you wouldn't expect based on the theoretical plot of the movie. Yeah, and maybe it was just over the top, like Kill Bill, maybe it was a saw, maybe it was like, just anything on the violence scale that made you be like, oh my God, I'm watching this, okay.
00:09:40
Speaker
I mean, I think Raiders of the Lost Ark when the guy's face melts. I was not expecting that. Like, and it wasn't like it was that traumatic. It was. I mean, it's a little bit traumatic when we were young with that one. It's cool, though. It's very cool. But yeah, it was something I would say. Well, I remember Jesse and I like go to the video store and it was kind of like a let's see what his mom would let us rent sort of thing. And I remember we rented
00:10:06
Speaker
We had no idea what they were, but we rented Underworld and Resident Evil. His mom did that for you? Yeah. Wow, what a bad mom. We were like 16 at the time. Oh, okay, okay. For like 16-year-old kids being like, do you think your mom will care?
00:10:29
Speaker
I love movies. They were great. I remember the Resident Evil was like that one. I remember at one point being like, dude, I don't know if we should watch this man. Like there was like a zombie dragging an axe that was like the first zombie scene in the movie. And I was just like,
00:10:47
Speaker
Uh, you know, this, this might, uh, this might be a little much like nothing even happened yet. And I'm like, I don't know. Time out guys. Have I mentioned the movie running scared before on this? I mean, I've heard of it. I haven't heard you mentioned it before. Okay. I don't know anything about it.
00:11:04
Speaker
Paul Walker movie. The only Paul Walker movie I've liked. We don't have to get into why. We do not have to get into why I didn't care for. Actually, I haven't seen any of the Fast and the Fierce movies. We've already been down that road. But Running Scared was one of those.
Nostalgic Movie Memories and Recommendations
00:11:21
Speaker
It feels like it must have been a
00:11:24
Speaker
It feels graphic novelty and the way that it's set up, you know, with all the bad guys being exceptionally vile and evil and it goes like in segments like now we're dealing with these bad guys and then we switched to these bad guys. It feels chopped up like that. And that was one of the first movies I remember seeing where I was like,
00:11:45
Speaker
legitimately uncomfortable watching it. Loved it. Still think it's a great movie. But it was like the concepts behind the violence. It was like they come up with these people who are like child murderers and they're trying to find these kids who went missing at some point in the movie. And that was the real uncomfortable part. But then there's like this cool scene at the end where it's under like a black light and they have like these like purple hockey pucks that they put down the ice and an ice rink and they just slap a bunch of hockey pucks into his face. And that was a scene where he was like,
00:12:13
Speaker
Oh God. That's needlessly creative. Yeah, it was great. It was like, I don't know. It was like a whole mob thing. And he's like intertwined with the mob.
00:12:22
Speaker
everyone should watch that movie you know how the people kind of recreate like make these like i don't think they're made to look like retro t-shirts it might be like a total recall one and you have like a big Arnold Schwarzenegger face and then like scenes of different characters from it and it has like that retro vibe i really want to find someone to make one for me unless it's art i guess i could etsy it but for uh this is the movie that i always think of when i see those shirts where i'm like
00:12:47
Speaker
I want a running scared shirt and it would just, all the villains throughout the movie would be on it and shit like that. I'll be sick.
00:12:55
Speaker
I've added that to my watch list. I check that out. It's typical, like not great script in acting, but it's got a twist in it and you just maybe the twist lives on as better than I remember it because I was a teenager when I first realized when I first watched it and it's been several years since I've seen it. So I don't know if it would hold up the same, but I'm going to pretend it does. I almost don't want to rewatch it because I don't want any disappointment.
00:13:22
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes it's better to just live with the, uh, the fun memory rather than the. Like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies that we thought, I thought were amazing growing up. I remember my dad wanted to borrow an action. Like I always bought shitty action movies too. And my dad, that was like my dad's thing. So he's like, he asked if he'd like grab one of my movies. I was probably 17, uh, living at home, obviously. Cause 17. And.
00:13:48
Speaker
He so he's like, Oh, I'll watch this one. And I remember that's like the first time I remember my dad. My dad didn't talk to us about stuff. But I feel like that was the first time that he like tried and then just gave up before it got too awkward because he was just like,
00:14:05
Speaker
Yeah, I watched that movie last night. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm like, it's pretty good. And what'd you think? He's like, you've watched that, huh? There's a lot of stuff in that movie. Like, yeah, yeah, it's a little weird at some points. And he's like, yeah.
00:14:20
Speaker
Yeah it was okay and then he just kind of like left it alone but I was like that was I still let that memory seared in my mind is what the first time he was like almost tried to talk to me about these like uncomfortable shit and then just like yeah fuck it I'm just we'll just move on.
Animal Safety in Films: Past and Present
00:14:37
Speaker
Oh less than fun fact about you guys ever watch the movie Milo and Otis.
00:14:42
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Apparently. A lot. Horrific animal abuse on the set of that movie. Really? When the animals died. Really? Like lots of the Milo's and Otis's? Yes. Oh, no. I don't remember the exact numbers or anything, but you couldn't make it here. It was it was it was from I think they filmed it in Japan. They use. OK, so when I searched Milo's and Otis, Milo and Otis, the number one result is deaths. So that's probably good.
00:15:14
Speaker
A snuff film for kids is one of the items. Oh, man. Oh, my God. Okay. Sunday Mail reported at the time of release that
00:15:32
Speaker
animal liberation Queensland founder Jackie Kent alleged the killing of more than 20 kittens during production and alleged use disturbed by reports from Europe which alleged other animals have been injured as in one case where a producer had broken a cat's paw to make it appear unsteady on its feet.
00:15:47
Speaker
other scenes that were the source of controversy. I remember this scene. We're seeing of a cat falling off a cliff and trying to climb back up at the scene of a pug fighting a bear. And no, are you kidding me? Behind the scenes footage is just the pug getting just throwing a cat off the cliff and they have a different cat to climb up. Oh, my production crew is hired by unit. They were all like former Unit 731 guards.
00:16:13
Speaker
It's like I think that movie that that movie was like the precursor to the the concept behind the movie The Prestige. Now, cloning where they just keep cloning and killing the same guy over and over. That's a great movie. It is. It's important to note these are just allegations and an attempt to investigate them like decades after the fact just turned up a bunch of dead ends. Not that like you, you'd really be able to prove a lot.
00:16:39
Speaker
right there's not like a kitten living in a nursing home with a broken paw that's like ready to talk to you about it like this was filmed in the 80s all those animals there was just an animal graveyard on the set of where they filmed that's dark man that changes the vibe of that light-hearted family-friendly film
00:16:59
Speaker
It does make you wonder, like movies that are made with modern standards for animal safety and stuff like they still film some crazy stuff like Lord of the Rings, which I guess isn't that modern. It was filmed like 24 years ago at this point or sea biscuit, right? Like in Lord of the Rings, when the horses are all like charging at each other and there's horses like being yanked to the ground by like cables and stuff to simulate the battle stuff like I know they have ways of doing that without hurting them. But when you're watching, you're like, man, I don't know how you do this.
00:17:25
Speaker
Yeah, and there's always a disclaimer that no animals were hurt. I remember seeing in was a gladiator. I think was the first time I recall there being like a that animals weren't hurt kind of disclaimer for that because they ought to have those in front of Mission Impossible movies for Tom Cruise. Like that Tom Cruise wasn't hurt in the making of this movie. Oh, the last one he was. But I guess he is. He actually gets hurt in most of them. But yeah, he he hit a pigeon during his skydiving scene.
Richie the Barber's Unconventional Life and Views
00:17:53
Speaker
on a roller coaster. That was like right near my hometown. That was a big deal locally, that news story when it came out. Like I've ridden that coaster so many times.
00:18:12
Speaker
It was he goes on like a big roller coaster and catches like a bird in the face. He just goes up to the back to the little staging area with a face just covered in blood and feathers.
00:18:28
Speaker
It was a good job. But yeah, in Mission Impossible 6, I guess the last one, Tom Cruise is jumping from rooftop to rooftop. And they used the shot in the movie where his foot breaks. Like he jumps and his foot hits the edge and just folds. And you can see it. They cut away from it. But they used that one. And he did the rest of the scene. He looks like he's limping away from it because he was. And they kept it and moved on to the next thing. Got that Tom Segura realism to it.
00:18:54
Speaker
That just shows you how committed he is as an actor that method acting is that's Daniel Day Lewis level right there We just need to legalize physician assisted suicide and free him like he's trying to see like he's screaming at us like the Scientologist They'll only let him out to film movies All right, well we should shift do we wanna Do you want to take it away? Okay, so
00:19:23
Speaker
I have, I've been, I've been looking forward to this. You texted me and I, I just immediately burst into laughter when you texted me. Set it up. Set it up. All right. So there's this guy, um, his name is, he goes by Richie the barber.
00:19:42
Speaker
He is, has a full face tattoo of clown makeup. And he's got like eyebrow inserts. So his brows stick out. He's got a split tongue. Skull it, not skull it. Like when they just like the poofy red hair around, but the bald on top, a lot of, a lot of face piercings and red hair usually wears a top hat. This guy is, you just look at him and you go, I mean, it's, you see,
00:20:12
Speaker
He's a walking billboard for I have mental illness. Like there's not any part of him that you think is like authentic, but he's Christian. So his whole thing now is like charismatic Christian. He does exorcisms on his Instagram. Like we came across him because of that, because there's videos of him like on Instagram and YouTube and stuff like that. Like the typical exorcism videos where it's somebody like
00:20:39
Speaker
grimacing and laying on the ground and then a bunch of people standing over top of them just doing like a demon intervention, just screaming, get out, get out, get out! You get out in the name of Jesus, get out, get out! And then occasionally one girl pipes in and she's like, shama ha lama nahama nahama nahama nahama. Yeah, and the person on the ground is just convulsing and faking a seizure, essentially. I mean, they might really be having a seizure. I mean, have you guys never been present for a demon exorcism in person?
00:21:07
Speaker
I haven't. Oh, yeah. Grew up at a Pentecostal church. I've seen several. That's true. But either way, there's just this feel based on his look. It's like it feels like he I don't I didn't necessarily know at the time what led him to be that person. Like, why is this full face clown tattooed weirdo like all of a sudden like popping up and they're like the exorcism.
00:21:38
Speaker
real world reels as an ig reels where it's like what's the correlation between this like who is this guy whatever so i
00:21:47
Speaker
been fascinated with him. So I, I messaged him, uh, on Instagram and he got back to me pretty quickly. He was like, I'd love to do it. Uh, but I just have to get paid for my time being on the show. And I was like, Oh, okay. Like what are your rates? And he's like, you got to pay me. He said 200. He didn't get into details like 200 hour, 200 flat, like
00:22:10
Speaker
I didn't really know what the deal here was, but my response was just, oh wow, that's wild. This is the first time anyone we've ever reached out to has asked for money to do a podcast interview. That kind of just confirmed all my suspicions that you're really just a grifter. We'll pass.
00:22:26
Speaker
Good job. Blocked. Immediately blocked after that. Dude, it's so good. Immediately when you were telling me this, my mind immediately went to that scene in Ace Ventura 2 when he punches the little guy in the monocle and he's dancing around the room with him and then he flips him over and he's like, do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah, it's amazing. So he has that vibe. So we've talked a good bit about Catherine Crick here. Catherine Crick was like a failed actress who just started doing like street exorcisms. And all of a sudden, everyone in fucking LA is demon possessed and comes to her for help. And she's probably single handedly
00:23:19
Speaker
Knocked out eighty percent of the demon population there now of course we all know that when demons leave one person They just find another and that's what makes it a very lucrative gig It's like the nearest person bent over in cotton pants
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah, there's a there's like a whole lane for this now. Yeah, it's what's fun about it is that it's like such a developed career path at this point for someone who's like an ancillary Hollywood figure that just never quite got there.
00:23:56
Speaker
and realizing that they put together the blue collar comedy tour of spirituality and just start making videos in LA, but strictly for people in Oklahoma to ooh and aah over.
00:24:13
Speaker
right. And they, there's this other aspect of it too, which I think is funny. I'm trying to find what the title was to this specific. Yeah. It is a Richie, the barbership charisma guy. No, there's one that's just like Hollywood
00:24:30
Speaker
Hollywood Insider exposes Satanism in Hollywood and it's just like there's this there's this foe like because I failed out of the career path that I was chasing and that was in Hollywood that I'm an insider and because I'm an insider I can expose it for what it really is and that's that's a big part of what this guy's doing too it's like
00:24:54
Speaker
I'm an insider. They didn't accept me in it simply because of who I am and my probably Christ, my love for Christ and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. If any of you, I'm sure many of you listening have had a brush with this video that goes around. It's like every two years it circulates. And it's this guy who was like an elite stuntman in Hollywood.
00:25:19
Speaker
I was at the top of the industry. I was like getting ready to push my way into the inner circle. And then they approached me about demons and like, he's just some jerk off.
00:25:31
Speaker
Like, just some guy who was a stuntman, and like he references his time in Hollywood as like, he was undercover in like the elite circles. And it's even better if they're like, I wasn't, you know, I was at the time, I didn't really think about God much at all. I really was kind of like, apathetic. I was an atheist. And then like, you know, these people approached me and they're like, come to these rich
00:25:57
Speaker
come to these rituals and take part in stuff. And I just knew my soul. And so I tried to blow the whistle.
00:26:06
Speaker
And he's there like, you know, I'm a stunt man and I'm like, I'm in Hollywood inside. I'm brushing shoulders with the biggest actors in Hollywood. And now I'm getting a little older and I'm moving a little more slowly. And I fucked one of the producers wives. And all of a sudden, no one wants me anymore. And I'm like, there has to be something more to this. And I realized it's because it had nothing to do with me not being good at my job anymore and fucking the wrong person's wife. It's really, and that was when I was an atheist, of course, but
00:26:36
Speaker
Now I realize it for what it is, and it's all a demon worship and seances. And Richie is not a guy that was a Hollywood insider. He is not on the inside of Hollywood. He is just a guy with face tattoos. He's been on the outside of Hollywood, trying to get in his entire life. On the outside of most gainful employment, it sounds like. Yeah, he's the real Harry and Meghan of the tattooed hair care
00:27:06
Speaker
industry, you know? Okay, let's just before anybody starts to feel like maybe we're going a little hard on old Richie because calling him a freak, making fun of his looks or anything. Let me give you a little smattering of some of Richie's podcast content. Here we go.
00:27:28
Speaker
Once you're a child of God, he's not going to let his sheep go. Would you say that transgender people are satanic? They're demonic beings. Oh my God. Demonic beings are satanic. But they're human. You don't think that they're children of God? They're living in sin. They're not children of God because if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you're turning away from him.
00:27:48
Speaker
It's sort of a transgender person is transgender and they don't believe in God. They're going to go to hell. It's not up to me to judge. Right. It's up to I can't I can't condemn anybody. Right. I can't judge them. OK. But all I know is this is it's demonic beings. They're entered the bodies. They have demons within them. He talks like a high pitched Steve Broulle. He does. Oh, my God. April said the same thing when I was.
00:28:14
Speaker
Oh, he has that brutal cadence. All right, so now it's official for everyone that you can hate on him based on that take. Here's, I now- Yeah, have we checked every box for you so that you can admit that you hate this man and make fun of him? I did previously mention that he's walking mental illness. So I know sometimes it's not funny to make fun of people with mental illness, but
Richie's Clown Journey and Struggles
00:28:38
Speaker
If when they're public figures and they say awful things like this you can say whatever you want about them and I think that's Because you don't like at least there's a history of trauma right like no one full tattoos their face to permanently look like a clown unless you're fucked up right or a super cool guy now
00:29:04
Speaker
He was very committed to becoming a clown because of his uncle. It wasn't his uncle or his grandfather. Okay, so here's the story. So I've watched a lot of Richie the Barber content over the past few days, much to my detriment.
00:29:24
Speaker
So there's two versions of it that I've heard. One was on America's Got Talent, which I think was like his initial like, ah, look at me, look at me. And what was on the note? Was that six or seven years ago on America's Got Talent? I think this is like 2013 or something. It's way back. That means the video I watched, which is the one you sent me, that it just got uploaded to YouTube and like, whatever.
00:29:49
Speaker
Yeah, it's from a while ago. And then so that the first one's from that. Second one is from the no jumper podcast, which I really like very much but okay, so America's Got Talent, you know, they do a little like lead in interview and you can you can watch the clip of him on YouTube, just search Richie the barber. And he's basically like they kind of set up this whole thing where they're like Simon Cowell is afraid of clowns.
00:30:17
Speaker
oh that's funny it's so funny dude they do comes this funny oh they yeah it's it's the best just sit there with his arms crossed like shrug like well hey everyone uh just so you know simon's a little bit afraid and simon just like smiles and shrugs like this is a good thing to lean into because
00:30:37
Speaker
the zeitgeist at all. Richie comes out and he's like, I love you Simon. And Howie Mandel's like, now, now wait a second. I don't know if that's going to be reciprocal love because here's the thing. Simon's a little afraid of clowns. And he goes put on blue. Yeah, Howie Mandel's a judge on
00:30:57
Speaker
The bald guy? Yeah. I think he moved on to be like a scientist or something. He's a TV host. I just didn't, I guess I, Bobby's world was it for him. No, I guess I just didn't realize it was Howie Mandel, uh, with the bald and stuff. Last time I saw me at a curly, uh, curly mullet kind of thing going on. He is like a successful podcast now too. But, uh, so anyways, they show a clip where they're telling Richie's backstory and he's like, the guy's a moron.
00:31:27
Speaker
And he's talking to me, he's like, I mean, completely covered in tattoos, head to toe, goofy hair, eyebrow implants, all that stuff. And his backstory, when they talked to him, he's like,
00:31:39
Speaker
I remember my grandpa, he took me to the circus of Barman Bailey and I saw this clown and he looked at me and he said, shh, don't be afraid. And I came over, I talked to him and he said, hey, when you're sad, juggle. When you feel good, juggle. And then I started like stealing my mom's makeup and paint my face. And I was like, I want to be a clown. And my parents said, no, you can't be a clown. And I was like, oh, but I want to be clown so bad.
00:32:06
Speaker
That's almost verbatim. Yeah, almost. And he wants to put on makeup and be a clown and basically alter his identity completely, but can't understand, can't wrap his mind around trans people not being demons.
00:32:22
Speaker
Now, I can't judge them, but they they are full of demons. Yeah, I'm looking up like so, of course, he was on, you know, a podcast that info wars wrote an article about he's on no jumper. The Info Wars article has him talking about this definitely real Illuminati party he went to in Los Angeles. Oh, so the Hollywood A listers participated in cannibalism. Did you read about this case? Yeah, I got a clip about that. Tried to eat his dick in front of him and cannibalism. It's close. It's close.
00:32:52
Speaker
This one upset me because I'm going to see Taylor Swift in like three weeks. We're going to Kansas City to see her show and this is him talking about Taylor Swift.
00:33:11
Speaker
She did what in it? She drank blood, bro. This is disturbing, Richie. She was there drinking blood, bro. She goes, I love drinking blood. And she's in this, like, that's disturbing. She's pretty much like in hell. There's all this fire and stuff. She's all seductive in this seductive, like, you know, dress. Do you think she's attractive, Richie? Dude, she's satanic, bro. But that's not, that's, you didn't answer the question. She's satanic, bro. Answer the question, Richie. I don't see her like that, bro. You don't. I don't live for that, dude.
00:33:37
Speaker
Who is the guy interviewing him? Oh, he's maybe more annoying than the other guy. Is he responding sarcastically like he's on the same page as him? Oh, he's egging him on, for sure. He's just trying to get content. He's just like, what else is this guy going to say? Yeah, they're definitely in on it together. Okay. It feels like he's reading from a script. It sounds insane.
00:34:04
Speaker
Every clip of the podcast that I've seen is either him just spouting off random, like, semi-church language about, you know, Satanism or whatever else, or it's just him talking about, like, quote, all the chicks he's banged. In fact, he's got a book that he published. Richie is making these claims? Yes. Richie's got a book called Mike
00:34:32
Speaker
Well, apparently not. This is from before when he was living in sin, but he does have a book called My Crazy Women about like all the crazy chicks that I've been with, man.
00:34:43
Speaker
And you guys want to hear the description. Can you imagine the level of crazy you do have to be to want to fuck a guy who looks like that? There's a segment of the population that would just no game required just out of the sheer curiosity out of just like that.
00:35:07
Speaker
why not kind of like I'll just fuck this guy like there's like an interest in just like the otherworldly at that point you're just like oh okay I'll go for it like that is such you don't it feels like there's
00:35:22
Speaker
got to be plenty of people who would just, he walks into a place and anywhere he goes, there's one person who's just at that point in their life or like, you know what? Yeah. That's it. Try it out. Yeah. He talks a lot about like how many, how many hot chicks he's been. He uses that. That's the kind of language you use all the time. Yeah.
00:35:50
Speaker
He looks like a B rate video game boss from like a crappy like in 64 spawn game. But he talks like some sort of want to be like Dan Bilzerian type more. Yeah. You the first thing you said to me is look at this like spawn villain of a person. And he does. He that is he looks like you would be a spawn villain. It's
00:36:13
Speaker
kind of unsettling how not like a main boss though it's like he would be like he's like in the spawn version of the foot clan where they're just kind of like disposable uniform bad guys that you can just like punch once and they're dead honestly if he was more athletic uh he could have probably crushed it in the wwe well he's actually he uh he's gotten way more chicks since he started working out now that he's got money
00:36:46
Speaker
Here's the description of his book called, My Crazy Women, based on the incredible exploits of Richie the Barber. Was this published before he was a Christian or is this to lead people to Christ in some way?
00:37:01
Speaker
I think it was before he was a Christian publication date, May 25th, 2017. I also like, okay, so that No Jumper podcast was like a year, year and a half ago that he was on there. And like, I didn't listen to the whole thing because it's just so empty. No, these are mostly from his podcast. But he doesn't really mention anything about God on that No Jumper podcast.
00:37:29
Speaker
So the description of the book is, you know what they say about guys with big shoes? Sometimes those guys are real clowns. Dive headfirst into the world of Richie the Barber, everyone's favorite tattooed clown, as we retell some of his wildest stories about love, life, and all around craziness in Los Angeles. You've seen him wow audiences on America's Got Talent and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Now see what happens when the cameras stop rolling and it's time to party.
00:37:58
Speaker
For a guy who can juggle swords while riding a unicycle and give you the best haircut of your life, Richie sure does enjoy a good adventure. Sexy aliens and traveling gypsy clowns with wacky secrets are just the tip of the iceberg and my crazy win. Is this a non-fiction book?
00:38:18
Speaker
His whole life is fiction, dude. His person, he's like a Pinocchio story of a unicycle being brought to life. But I'm genuinely confused. Like, is that supposed to be like a semi-autobiographical cautionary tale story? Or is he literally pitching that as like, this is my life up until this point? He's pitching. They do. Everything he says is like him bragging about like how crazy he is.
00:38:43
Speaker
is how much he doesn't care. I mean I believe girls up dermal horns put in fucking green lizard tattoo faces shit like that. You can tell that's the direction it's going in. I love how he's wowed audiences on America's Got Talent and Ripley's Blitter and you named two things that are awful that
00:39:04
Speaker
art that he didn't excel in i like america's got talent he just got like immediately xed out like he didn't progress he he played the song uh what was it uh every day um the every day i'm hustling he did he changed it to every day i'm juggling and just dropped fucking
00:39:25
Speaker
bowling pins and tripped over his unicycle. He juggled for like, he juggled for like five seconds and then he drops it and he just starts like walking around the stage, throwing some confetti and like doing like hip hop gestures. And he's rapping, but it's like so awful. Every day I'm juggling. You're like, Oh God. It's not like a part of his act. Like he built a persona around some talent that he has.
00:39:51
Speaker
Like, this is all there is to it. He's a guy with tattoos. When it was a slapstick, like his tripping might have been intentional, but like... It didn't look like it. Usually when you have the tripping and the slapstick involved, like the tripping results in like a somersault where you do something interesting that someone fucking cares about. You don't just like trip and fall and then get a laugh and move on. Like it's not...
00:40:16
Speaker
It's like, it's like five notches below like a solo three stooges act, you know? Yeah. He juggled for five seconds. He did his crappy rap, tripped over a unicycle and then Howie Mandel said, fuck that sucks. Holy shit. He sucks so bad. And that was it. He did not go on to Hollywood. And even though he's an insider there,
00:40:44
Speaker
When did he when did he become a Christian? That's a great question. Hard to say. I think it's less than a year ago that the Christian thing started. So radically saved. I love that. That's a good testimony. He immediately got saved and then like went on the rampage exposing Hollywood. It's such an easy grift too, because he has he has the like the look to stand out. So when you start saying and saying things like that, that kind of
00:41:14
Speaker
commentary does garner more attention because you're saying awful things like that that's the world we live in right now you just if i could if i decided to like start ranting on twitter with a bunch of awful or even typical like with daily wire kind of takes right if i started doing that it would get quote tweeted as how i'm awful and i'd probably have 30 000 followers by
00:41:41
Speaker
the end of the month just the more I would say awful things so Saying awful things and then looking like this guy is like it's kind of an easy move we keep watching people be make this grift financially viable and When he's it's like so he's like in his America's Got Talent thing He's like, you know, I started out being a barber because I just tried to be normal I wanted to be like everybody else but my papa and
00:42:10
Speaker
And you're just like, and then he's like, I'll just, I want to be a clown. I want to make people smile and I want to be clown. So bad. I'm going to transition to be a real clown. He's like, I was in clown closet and I came out clown closet and got a bunch of tattoos and turn. I was going to be a clown for the rest of my life. It's like really like an unsettling story to listen to. And he's saying it like,
Richie's Interactions with Celebrities and Hollywood Grift
00:42:32
Speaker
It's also weird, because you know he makes this video ahead of time where he starts, they're like, when did you first become a clown? And it's like, this video of him starts playing, and it's like him gazing off into the distance, like reflecting on his life. And it's like, so he does all of it. Like, I think he, again, this is why there's gotta be some like mental illness tied into this, because you can't go that hard in the paint. Like, unless, like, why? Why are you doing that? Like someone didn't,
00:43:00
Speaker
love you enough as a child, which is obviously sad. Or too much. Yeah, or too much. Or too much. So now he's like fully tattooed his face. He's committing to the clown thing and he's, it's a rude awakening to find out that despite all those tattoos and all those years committed to clowning, you suck at it. You're terrible. And now you either have to live in a home with shelter for the rest of your life or find a grift.
00:43:28
Speaker
Yeah. Dude hasn't had a hit since Twisted Metal 2. Yeah. He was a wrestler, right? Doink the clown? Yeah, I think so. Dude, homie the clown's where it's at. Did you ever watch homie the clown on it? No.
00:43:46
Speaker
Oh color. It's like it is kind of like the clown from air bud with all just with a full like face tattoo. Another fun thing about the clown from air bud is I'll never forget when my family and I started when we lived on Cape Cod.
00:44:02
Speaker
That's where I'd seen Air Bud. We moved to central Massachusetts. We start going to the church that I was part of until I left home. And I'll never not think about how, when we started going there, my first thought was, oh my god, the pastor looks like the clown from Air Bud.
00:44:29
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, regardless of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, I mean, it clearly had an impact on your life. Exactly. It set the stage for my my future church experience and allowing the Lord to come into my life in a real way. Dude, so I think when you start looking at like some of the so the No Jumper podcast that he did,
00:44:52
Speaker
It's so boring. I mean, the guy has nothing to say. His persona is all that's there. He's kind of like this flimsy character. Ripley's, believe it or not, he is Ripley's, believe it or not, embodied, and there's just nothing going on behind that.
00:45:11
Speaker
And like his whole life seems to be dedicated at that point to just like these occasional brushes with celebrity. Like one of these celebrities was just going to like reach down and pull him up next to him and just like help him get established and make some sort of like like famed career out of it. Like he talks about Sivo in that interview.
00:45:34
Speaker
And like he says something about, he's like, yeah, you know, Steve O met me through sobriety. And like, I remember he would come and he basically says like, I would cut Steve O's hair. Cause he's, he works at some barbershop, like right down Melrose or something like right downtown in LA near Hollywood. And.
00:45:53
Speaker
I don't know where anything's at there, so I'm speculating. But he basically describes like cutting Steve-O's hair as like his only real point of contact with him. He does say at one point, he's like, bro, yeah, I'm trying to get on Steve-O's podcast. I asked him about it, but he was like, you know, we're trying to get people on here who are kind of well established.
00:46:18
Speaker
What a good way to like turn that guy down and it's like you cut see maybe you cut his hair once or twice but like steve-o gets steve-o's got crew cuts i steve-o probably cuts his own hair no he's got longer hair now he's got longer hair now steve-o is doing a lot better
00:46:35
Speaker
Oh, well, this podcast is kind of fun to listen to. Steve has a great couple of times. Yeah, he's got a great podcast. So he said the steve was mentoring him through sobriety. So that was just when he cut his hair. He probably said some nice like it was generally encouraging things to him. And that was it. Yeah. Read him a couple of bumper stickers. He honestly went he needs to pick the right lane for real and really hitches cart to the direction like to Mel Gibson. I could even see Mel Gibson casting him in Passion of the Christ to
00:47:05
Speaker
Even. Oh, yeah, he can be a demon. Who's what? Christ would be amazing to see him as Christ. That's what he looks like when he comes back from the dead. That's why no one recognizes him. So like, who's letting this guy go to their church and lay hands on people? Nobody. He's not allowed to actually people. No, no, Sam, Sam, there are video clips on his Instagram I'm looking at right now of him doing that.
00:47:31
Speaker
Yeah. And they're just screaming in someone's face in a top hat. Yeah. And like that. He has to use a hair clip to stick to his head. He glues at all. He must. This seems like a whole in L.A. It's like remember the tiny hat sketch on Tim and Eric. You can wear it under your regular hat. It's your secret. That's where he orders his top hats from.
00:47:55
Speaker
But yeah, he basically went from like a fame hungry sideshow actor to like now he's basically like Harley Quinn's uncle explaining to you like how the Jews injected nanobots during your root canal or the engineering traffic jams to destroy the nuclear family or something like that. So he didn't actually touch those kids. Yeah.
00:48:26
Speaker
They served sushi on his naked body at like a Bilderberg meeting. How far down do those tattoos go? Is his whole body, you think? I wonder at what point, like, because there's nothing going on. And I mean, he's not a creative guy, it doesn't seem like. So like, at what point did he just start, like, bringing in, like, hotel art from the Hampton Inn and being like, yeah, make one leg this
00:48:58
Speaker
He's got like a full like carousel tattoo that just circles his waist. He's got like that generic home goods picture of like fruit in a basket. That's his whole back piece.
00:49:14
Speaker
the comments on this Instagram video of them praying over this woman who definitely has a demon. It's funny because the comments run the gamut from people being like, hey, man, it seems kind of weird. How do priests in other countries practice and learn about exorcism for years and years and never get to experience this in real life? And you're just running in to possess people left and right. And then right below, that's a comment from someone being like, it's so sad to see so many people who claim to be Christians denying this is real. Oh, dude, the comments are the craziest part of his whole thing.
00:49:42
Speaker
They're way more interesting than him. Yeah, like I was like shocked at how wild some of the comments get on these things and like these people are so ready to believe that everyone's like a demonic pedophile like they just they love it the minute like I couldn't get the audio. Oh, no, no way. Well, that's why they just wanted such clips.
00:50:05
Speaker
Keanu Reeves. Oh my god, Richie. Yeah, man. Keanu Reeves. Say hi, bro. So what you're telling me that we can... How do you know that Keanu Reeves... You saw him. You saw Keanu Reeves. Where did you see him? The elite Hollywood parties. You saw him at an elite Hollywood party. What was he doing, Richie? Can't tell you. Was he doing anything bad? I can't tell you.
00:50:27
Speaker
What were the people doing around him? There's rituals that they do and they perform rituals with fire, pentagrams. There's rituals of like blood work, cutting. They want you to cut and sacrifice yourself. So they're cutting other people or themselves? Everything. They're having pentagrams, upside down crosses. They're wearing all this like Satan's my daddy. They wear like Lucifer stuff, like lambs. It's all sacrifices. Satan's my daddy for Father's Day. It's my daddy.
00:50:57
Speaker
Wow. I love the guy. Oh my God, Richie. Richie. Oh my God, Richie. Tell me. No, Richie. Can't tell you, bro. Can't tell you. Here's a great comment on that same video. The real demons are those preying on the weak minded to game something out of it, whether it's money or attention, including views and likes. And then he does the hang loose hand.
00:51:19
Speaker
love the tats by the way you'd be a dope long-term character on the walking dead just throwing that out there so guys like you're a grifter and uh and a demon you're the real demon because you're trying to gain views and likes out of this also i love your tattoos and you'd be a great character on the walking dead like what are you supposed to do with this it's such a grip in that look
00:51:38
Speaker
it's honestly the right move for him like taking that his look mixed with that charismatic Christian Lane is a really good way to kind of like rise to the top of what's going on there and if he's very quick to be like yeah man totally happy to do the podcast I just need to be paid for my time
00:51:59
Speaker
If we can, none of the guests we've had on have asked to be paid for their time because that's not how podcasting works. And if they don't want to do it, you just don't do it. No one's getting paid to do podcasts. That's not how this medium works. And for him to say that so nonchalantly, it's like,
00:52:22
Speaker
He's like, yeah, I'd love to cast his demon output. You know, that's going to cost 25 bucks. Like, you know, he's doing this in every corner of his life. If he's taking the one medium that no one ever pays for anyone to be on in trying to turn that into a profit for 200 bucks. Like I would love to know how many podcasts have paid this asshole 200 bucks to be on their podcast. But
00:52:44
Speaker
Oh man, he just does his own thing on YouTube and you like in the video is important for this because what he's saying it would really I think what's notable is what he's saying and doing really would fly under the radar if he didn't look
00:53:01
Speaker
the way he just did just be so other crappy like I used to be a bad dude and now I have a good dude pastor thing like there's so Yeah, like I can't tell you Oh, what can a reason you can't tell you bro? What? Oh, come on. I can't tell you bro. It's like, that's like the I know something you don't know and then like to
00:53:21
Speaker
Pay me. Yeah, pay me for the information. I think it's like later in that same video clip, he's like, he's like, guys, you need to subscribe to the Patreon. I'm going to release all the names on my Patreon. People like fighting in the comments about the fact that he wants money.
00:53:40
Speaker
like this one he's talking about how he's gonna like uh i didn't get the audio for this one but he's basically talking about how like he's getting death threats all the time and like they're threatening to kill him and like
00:53:54
Speaker
I've had guys say they're going to put an AK-47 in my face and they're going to be like, what do you believe in, bro? You think God's on your side? And I'll be like, yeah, God's on my side, bro. He's like, I'm going to release the names. I'm going to go on a Patreon, subscribe to our Patreon. I'm going to release the names. And then the comments are just like this guy says, release those demons names. We're praying for you, brother. Then a guy says, the demon is him.
00:54:16
Speaker
you are the actual demon just sign up to my patreon the demon can be any place maybe not him because demon s come and go and stay we are made in the image of god not in a image of uh clown emoji yes i have my demons too this guy says he has mentioned corry feldman seth green and burt kreischer before all right maybe this guy's on or something
00:54:45
Speaker
The secret Illuminati parties that Corey Feldman, Seth Green and Bert Kreischer are all at. The most ancillary famous people. It's just, dude, the whole thing's insane. It does though. It's like you're saying it just completely plays into the like, like, I was a bad boy.
00:55:06
Speaker
And then here's me bragging about all the bad things I did before God saved me. And I have more credibility for my story because, you know, I look weird and I was naughty in a past life and stuff.
00:55:24
Speaker
trying to brag to his friends that he's done sex things but doesn't has it and just doesn't know how to communicate it right he's like yeah me oh me and me and em emily we rubbed our butts together and everyone's like oh my god you guys no uh tell us more i can't tell you anymore guys but we were kissing so long we kissed like all forever it was a long it was a long kiss i like my mouth got
00:55:47
Speaker
dry. I mean, it was like tongue. We use tongue. And then it just like rolls like, because everything's political now. It just rolls right into the political stuff. Like, for sure. This one's government is trying really hard to get everybody to live in sin. They are demonic. They're Satanism. They believe in satanic things. It's a it's Illuminati that all of it all seen. I believe in Satan. They worship Satan. So they wanted to destroy everybody.
00:56:16
Speaker
the enemy wants us to destroy everybody they want us to have orgies and sex parties and it's okay to do this and okay that live and sin live and sin didn't he do all that already it's also uh he's just like in government government wants you to it's like i like that he didn't pick a side i respect he's super uncreative though he's just like in the demons bro the demons and the bad the bad stuff man like he this is his grift and he hasn't put more work into it than that
00:56:45
Speaker
There's nothing on you. There's no it's like the government wants us to live in sin and the demons and like it's all Illuminati. It's like he's just saying like it's a word salad. It's like watching Kamala Harris give a speech about the Illuminati. Thank you for being here today in this present moment. And we all are here together in one place and in many
00:57:14
Speaker
at the same time, presently, here together. Dude, every time Kamala gets a like a microphone, there's got to be like a whole bunch of like, White House aides that are like, Oh, God, somebody made notes.
00:57:34
Speaker
It's hard to know if she just doesn't believe in teleprompters. I don't know what's happening. I don't know if she walks in confidently thinking she can do it rogue, but teleprompters, she's clearly not reading one. Or if she is, all of her speech writers need to be fired. And they're sabotaging her. I think what you've been for a politician for long enough, you just have the ability to disassociate. Just open your mouth and start speaking speech words. You just have bits you can run through.
00:58:03
Speaker
but she just hasn't been one long enough maybe? I don't know. It's the equivalent of being in Speech 101 in college. That's what you're giving a speech to the nation and the way it comes together is the equivalent of someone who's giving their first speech at Speech 101. Yeah. My grandmother, she used to say a saying, did you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
00:58:32
Speaker
I think that was a particularly good
Role and Perception of Clowns in Society
00:58:36
Speaker
one. I feel like it was like a good clip of Hunter from Boy Meets World trying to bullshit his way through like a book report. And he's just saying shit. Maybe it's Cory, I forget. But I feel like there's a Boy Meets World episode where they're trying to bullshit their way through a book report and it's just talking in circles like that. And that's pretty much where we're at right now. I mean, with everyone, apparently, who has any degree of
00:59:01
Speaker
political power, just running in circles. But that's a whole nother topic. We need to get back to Richie the Barber from Demon Street or whatever. Yeah, great clips penny wise. Bozo, more like expozo. Do you have any other good clips of him? No, that was
00:59:22
Speaker
That's it's all it's all the same after that. That's pretty much it. It's just a lot of that. And then just a bunch of like really made up sounding sex stories. And Oh, like, are you saying sounds made up for got to be like, Yo, bro, I was at the Illuminati parties and Keanu Reeves, demon man, demon, what was he doing? He's
00:59:42
Speaker
Demon stuff, man, like Illuminati, like bad, like really bad stuff, like specifically Richie. Well, you know, what was it? Oh, man, like terrible, like horrible, demonic, like evil, just bad stuff, man. Like blood. Should they do blood? Yeah. Bloodshot. Bloodshots.
01:00:00
Speaker
Not to send more people to this guy's Instagram, but if you go there, you can watch him baptize people in what looks like a hotel pool. So that's pretty cool. I'm sure the families that rented that hotel were very pleased to find out that that's what was going on after finally giving in to their children, begging to go swimming for several hours.
01:00:19
Speaker
Yeah, I want him to lead communion, but like instead of wine and crackers, it's like blue slurpee and funnel cake. It's just like the wine you take comes from one of those like roses that he squirts it into your mouth. Taking the sacrament just right in the face. So yeah, this guy sucks. My only hesitation in like doing this at all is just
01:00:49
Speaker
Like there's there's a party that's you're watching these clips and you're like, this is so insane and ridiculous and like so poorly done. Like, is this all a joke that I'm just like, like, is this is this all being done ironically? Is this like a cognizant grift, you know, where he's just like squeezing money out of a out of a dumb fan base, but like,
01:01:14
Speaker
Even if that was the case, like he says pretty awful things about a lot of different kinds of people. So I don't know.
01:01:24
Speaker
I feel like it's the conversation that comes up every time you talk about these people saying these like wildly outlandish things with these weird premises or or like they're it feels like they have a an act or like a like that thing they do to set themselves apart from someone else doing something similarly is like
01:01:46
Speaker
Like do they actually believe what they're saying are they so far gone that they just like they think they think they believe it. They just find themselves into whatever they need to and they don't really have an identity all on their own. I don't know because when we look at like you know you look at like these mega pastors who have these fall from graces and you're like did you.
01:02:06
Speaker
Do you believe the things you're saying to live those that double life, but I don't know I think everyone has that capacity I'm not this isn't like a I'm not making any excuses for Richard the barber, but I think I think most people have the capacity to live a double life to a degree and Yeah, you just don't think there's like any like watch if you watch any amount of his clips I just feel like
01:02:34
Speaker
There's nothing in there with enough substance for you to be no i think this is actually like maybe a guy who's aware of himself and what he's doing like there's none of that like he's not a smart man he's not smart like rotted his brain out over the years with fun dip or something.
01:02:52
Speaker
I don't think there's any self-awareness. I don't think there's any like, there's no drive to be someone other than quote unquote, be someone like he doesn't. Yeah. It's not working towards something. There's like, it's a life full of tricks and gimmicks. You don't tattoo your entire face and go that deep into the clown route, unless you're hoping like you're relying on gimmicks to
01:03:18
Speaker
You're really making on the clown thing working out. I sure hope clowns don't suck and everybody hates them. It seems just strange to think that like, yeah, I don't think he could really believe in anything. I think it's just like,
01:03:38
Speaker
I wanna do, he wants to be famous. He's like that 16 year old kid that just like wants to be famous for famous sake. He's like my first grade students that already wanna be YouTubers. He's, and they don't, and you go, oh, what do you like? And they're like, I just wanna YouTube. I just wanna, I just wanna be, they just want a camera on them and they wanna say shit and they want that to fund their entire life. And he's that person, I think. It's like the vapid pursuits of a,
01:04:07
Speaker
bland, uncreative, superficial doofus. Yeah. Yeah. And he just took it to a whole, he's the take it too far guy. And he just, he found himself in the completely wrong lane. Like he could have taken it too far with like, I love that the take it too far guy never invests that energy into actually being good at something. They just invest it into standing out. Cause being a wrestler would require a lot of talent, like in really hard physical work. Although, I mean,
01:04:37
Speaker
It's not easy to like get your eyelids tattooed like he's definitely been through some pain to get to the point where he's at, but it's just it's not it wasn't the right type of pain. Oh, he claims that he got PTSD from getting his tongue split. Well, he's like, I'll wake up in sweats, bro. I wake up like having nightmares thinking I'm like still in there. So many people have had their tongues. It must be hard. It must be really hard.
01:05:04
Speaker
Can we just agree that clowns suck in general? Of course. No, they hate clowns. They're not good. I don't. I mean, like, you're talking about just like clowns in general, like, like real clowns that actually come to birthday parties, clowns are just the whole idea of clowns in society.
01:05:20
Speaker
Clowns in general, I would, I would, okay. Controversies. We don't need them anymore. That's fair. That's a good take. I'm going to go on record here and say that I think juggalos are the coolest clowns. I'm not sure if I'm ready to come around immediately. I don't know all clowns, but like they're definitely some of the least annoying clowns for sure.
01:05:47
Speaker
It's like the worst kind of clown is like that hobo clown, which is what a lot of clowns are reminiscent of. But that was the thing was like the hobo clown for a while, like the stubble. Oh, wait, they might not be the coolest guy. OK, I'm going to I'm going to change my vote. I'm going to say juggalos are the second coolest clown. Rodeo clowns are the coolest clowns.
01:06:10
Speaker
Okay, yeah, yeah there that's an actual job they serve a purpose like they're not afraid to look dumb while doing something incredibly Masculine like yeah, that gets a respect rocked by a bull. Did you guys watch baskets? No. Mm-hmm Oh my god for someone who loves rodeo clowns as much as you Casey. It's all about that. Oh
01:06:31
Speaker
Zach, Zach. Well, can't say his name. Galifianakis is a rodeo clone. He plays, has also placed his twin brother and it is a phenomenal show and it's a
01:06:46
Speaker
It's over. It's over now. But, uh, if you like rodeo clowns, you should, and, um, Louie, uh, life with Louie, what's his Louie?
Conclusion and Community Engagement
01:06:55
Speaker
Uh, what's the loop? Anderson Anderson. Louie Anderson plays Zach Galifianakis, his mom in it. And it's never assumed like they don't play it as a joke. He takes it as a serious role and it's inadvertently hilarious, but you never laugh at it. You just kind of
01:07:15
Speaker
after a season, you just accept it for what it is. It's a bizarre take. And it's a phenomenal show. So if we're ending on the concept of rodeo clowns, you have to watch baskets. It's a phenomenal show. I'm content.
01:07:30
Speaker
to put down the, uh, to put down the mic there. Perfect. So Richie, the barber, uh, three way thumbs down here. That's six thumbs all pointed downward. He sucks balls. He sucks. He's a grifter through and through. And that will not last. You can tell the grift is real when like I messaged people constantly. I don't always hear back.
01:07:54
Speaker
I heard back within five minutes from this guy asking for money. The grift is strong with this one. His cotton candy budget is on the fritz. His price has probably gone up after he listens to this. He needs to do unicycle.
01:08:11
Speaker
Oh yeah, I hope this makes it back to him and then he just roasts us on his podcast. That would be the best. That'd be the best, best possible outcome. I can't tag him in an Instagram post about it because I'm blocked. So maybe everyone else can do us a favor and share it. Yeah, you just tell them, go over and leave comments on his latest post just saying the growing up Christian army, since it's regards or whatever, I don't know how the kids do it these days, whatever the cringey thing is that people say. That's how cringe. Grown up Christian fam.
01:08:41
Speaker
Oh boy. I hate that. Do we, we don't have a shorthand name. Yeah. Is there a shorthand name? Like the guck? I feel like guck something. Yeah, that can be mispronounced poorly. We had that discussion early on where we're like, well, that can't be.
01:09:01
Speaker
It's starting to feel like you're playing at a scene in the movie Gran Torino pretty quickly. That's fair. All right, so what about Goosey? Goosey? No. Getting goosed? Isn't that when someone takes their fingers and pokes you in the butthole? Is that what that is? I don't know. They pinched your cheek. I was homeschooled, so I don't know. We're moving in. Okay, we were closing this out and now we're here. We should. All right. Well, thanks everybody for listening.
01:09:31
Speaker
If you're not in the Discord, you should join up. It's fun. Join up. We can make fun of grifters there. And if you come across some weirdos, we would love to see them and experience their videos. So send them our way. None of this like, oh, I shouldn't share them because it'd be sharing their platform. No, share it. We want to see them. We would absolutely love to laugh at them. So send them our way.
01:09:58
Speaker
And if you like the show, leave us a review wherever you listen to it. We would really appreciate that. And oh, plug for our buddy Spencer.
01:10:11
Speaker
So Spencer comedian friend. Spencer Bland. Spencer Bland that was on the show. He's been on a couple of times. He was on the show a few weeks ago, but his comedy album, his first ever comedy album is available for presale right now. You can do that through iTunes and it's only like 10 bucks and it would mean the world to him and to us if you'd go check it out and maybe pre-order it.
01:10:39
Speaker
He's a good dude, good young man, good clean cut young man. He's got a good head on his shoulder. You know what? A lot of these people are, a lot of these kids now, they got no respect. And that's what I like about Spencer Planets. And that's the problem with kids these days, but Spencer's not like this. Yeah. Spencer's the type of young man that like, if he was delivering your Amazon package and you had a flag that had fallen off of your door sill and was on the ground
01:11:08
Speaker
Spencer would burn it in your front yard, respectfully. Give it a salute. So do all those things and come listen to us next week. New episode every Tuesday. Thanks for listening. We will see you next week.
