Jesse PaytonGUEST
The people who think Patrick did it, framed him, and actually committed the murders can only be two things.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
One, you didn't watch the trial and you're only watching TikTok, people like this, and formulating an opinion.

They don't really go into the weeds here in the report, but I guess him and his ex-wife bought a lot of rental properties, and at some point... you know the rental property you rent out property

Jesse PaytonGUEST
yeah this the debt has to be like trump's debt where it was just asset value fluctuation where the prices the value of your houses go down you buy a house you know for 200 000 bucks and then the next month it's worth 150k and then you've lost effectively lost that so it's just an asset thing you knew that

This is just a testament to how stupid liberal white women really are because she's like, hey, what are we mad at today? And they're like, we're protesting ice.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
But Jesse, you don't like ice, right? Don't you hate ice? Well, I'm sick of ice, man.

It was all an orchestrated attack on ivermectin, and the aim was to get a shot in every arm.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Did you see what they did to Joe Rogan? When Joe Rogan said he took ivermectin— CNN took and gave him a green hue to make him physically look ill.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And the juxtaposition of what they actually did was like tantamount to what was going on with the whole thing.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Like I was vaccinated for polio and smallpox as a kid, as most kids in the 70s and 80s were.
Why won't James Talarico defend this black single mom?

Jesse PaytonGUEST
I think it's asinine to tether the political affiliation of an artist or performer, especially in comedy, for us because it's something that's fictitious and made up.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And trying to indict us for a political alignment for a joke that we do on stage is like trying to say Leonardo DiCaprio was racist for his role in the movie Django that somebody else wrote.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And I've had – 12, 15 shows canceled across the country with uproar because they'll see a show that I'm doing.

There's a professor at the University of Chicago who studies, among other things, uh, the I- Islamic world, Islamic Middle East, but also queer studies.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
He writes, "If you read early colonial history, often when colonists arrived in the Muslim and Arab world, they were horrified by the amount of homosexuality that was rampant, including with children.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Evliya Çelebi, an Ottoman traveler in the 17th century, records stories from the Nile region about locals having sex with crocodiles.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
He presents it as a known practice in some areas, sometimes framed as competitive or heroic, includes a fantastical antidote involving transformation after such an act, and notes that not engaging with crocodiles could affect local status or marriage prospects in certain communities.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Basically, he proposed to a woman and asked her to marry him, but she said no, 'cause he'd never had sex with a crocodile.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Like, if you wanna attribute something to the voices and mental illness, then it was, like, a hasty, haphazard thing that you did on a whim versus, you know, 'cause there- there's times in between the dir- drug-induced psychosis where she came to the reality and it's like, "Oh my God, I come t- back to normalcy and I look down and there's suicide notes and plans to murder my children.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Hey, in the brief period of, of sobriety, now's the time to attend to my sickness and my disease and get it taken care of, not lapse back into the, the psychosis and execute the plan." The fact that it was premeditated, it was calculated, and there were plans leading up to this, guilty, death penalty, 100%.

It's crazy because I went to Walgreens for the first time because normally I do delivery for all my groceries and things that I need and from Amazon and HEB and whatnot.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And I was like, oh, let me run down the aisle, see if I have any cravings or whatever.
25 MINS LATER
Talarico burned his lips on a blow torch

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Well, I did, and then I made parole, Kenny, so I'd appreciate it if I identify as a free citizen now, so I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from that.

This is abhorrent.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
Kenny, 'cause I'm gonna tell you guys, I've been doing comedy a long time, and I always say my jokes are rated E for everyone, but for anyone who comes to a show, they know I do not make fun of the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community, Kenny, because there is nothing funny about a genocide of people that are under the umbrella of the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
I never joke about the MMIWG2SLG... [laughs] Which also doubles as a good Wi-Fi password.
7 MINS LATER

Jesse PaytonGUEST
I love that Trump's back in office, 'cause this is like a microcosm of his whole, uh, tenure in office because old man says, "Stand up." Kid says, "Kiss my butt, I'm not a patriot." Old man smacks him upside the head, and he, [laughs] against his will, stands up.

does a comedian want to live in New York City? Is it still worth it for the career? Is that a good place to be? I don't know, man, to be honest with you.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
The weird thing about social media and the Internet is it's been like the great equalizer for talent because you don't have to go to L.A., you don't have to go to New York to be discovered.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
You don't have to go to Austin and go to the Comedy Mothership to be discovered.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
You can put your voice and your comedy in the living room or in literally the hands of every single person in the country just by going on the Internet now.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
So it's less about the geography and more about the Internet exposure and sensationalization of that.

What's funny is the Sophia Cunningham, for those who don't know her, Sophie Cunningham is the white girl that plays in the WNBA.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
She and Caitlin Clark have kind of reinvigorated the WNBA of which I've never seen one game.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
However, yeah, The funny thing is when Tiger Woods was like the first black golfer that really took over and dominated, even whites and blacks, liberals and conservatives, we loved it because it was great for the sport and great for the game.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And then now that two white people are doing it, when Venus and Serena came on, white people weren't upset about it.

you have you have um sick people who really can't control what they're doing and you've got bad people who are doing bad things and the bad people doing bad things are pretty rare um most of it are mental illness drug abuse um and and then like like i said the occasional person that has a really bad day and makes a bad decision.

Jesse PaytonGUEST
And exactly what you said, there were good people in there who, you know, just made, who are intrinsically good people who did a stupid thing.

Jesse PaytonGUEST

Jesse PaytonGUEST

And in what he said, the antithesis of what that book says cover to cover, like the Bible says, you don't put any gods before me.
