So you said you're in town working at, it's called the Sunset Strip Comedy Club?

Lara Beitz (0:21)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Lara Beitz (0:23)

Yes.

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Whoa.

Lara Beitz (0:25)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

That's awesome. How'd you hear about it?

Lara Beitz (0:27)

They hit me up.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

So they just started?

Lara Beitz (0:30)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Where's it at? What street?

Lara Beitz (0:31)

This is opening weekend. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Oh wow, you don't even know where you're going. Did you just get here today?

Lara Beitz (0:37)

I got here yesterday.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Did you walk around?

Lara Beitz (0:39)

I walked a little bit.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

Did you get any brisket?

Lara Beitz (0:42)

Not yet, that's tonight.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

What did you do when you got here?

Lara Beitz (0:47)

I went and got halal and then I went swimming.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Oh, okay. Cool.

Check it out.

Lara Beitz (0:53)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Wander around. Who are you working with?

Lara Beitz (0:57)

Fahim and Amir Kay. And I can't remember the rest of the line up, but yeah, that's it.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

Yeah, Fahim did some shows with me and Chappelle at Stubbs too. There it is.

Is this the place? Where's it at, Jamie?

Jamie (1:14)

Downtown, Third Street.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Oh, okay.

Jamie (1:16)

Eastside, I think, is it East Third Street.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Nice. Does it say how many people it seats?

Jamie (1:19)

It does not.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Nice.

Lara Beitz (1:22)

Yeah, the guys who run it have been really great. They've been really nice.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

That's fucking awesome. I'm excited.

What does Tim Dillon have to do with that? Tim Dillon's on their page there. Is he talking shit about them? What is he saying?

Lara Beitz (1:34)

I think he's talking about the Austin scene.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

He, yeah.

He's out here too. Are you going to move here, Lara?

Lara Beitz (1:40)

Not today, you know.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Are you thinking about it?

Lara Beitz (1:44)

Never say never.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Never say never? Are you considering it?

Lara Beitz (1:47)

I mean, before this year, I would have said that I never wanted to leave LA but I also couldn't have imagined them shutting Hollywood down until further notice. So I don't know what is going to happen next.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

The district attorney, I think that's who it is, killed the gang task force too. That's the new thing, because apparently there's not enough crime. He's like, how do we make it worse?

Let's kill the gang task force.

Jamie (2:12)

Is that the same task force that was like the dirty one, the rampart one?

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Oh, I don't think so. I think that's a different one. Maybe. I don't think so, though.

Maybe it was dirty. Maybe I'm looking into it the wrong way.

Just wondering. You might be right. I might be looking at it the wrong way.

Lara Beitz (2:29)

I mean, if no one can leave their apartments anyway, what difference does it really make?

Joe Rogan (2:34)

You know, my friend Eddie almost got jumped at a gas station two nights ago.

Lara Beitz (2:38)

Damn.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

Yeah. He's pulled into a gas station and he got out of his car and some guy started walking backwards towards his car with hoodies on.

And he was like, What is going on here? And then he's like, I'm getting back in my fucking car. And then they just ran up to his car and he locked the car and took off.

Lara Beitz (2:56)

Damn. I've been making people walk me to my car after shows because I accidentally caught a preview for the local news. And it was like a woman being put down on her face on the sidewalk while two dudes robbed her. And I was like, Well, I can't forget that I've seen that image now. So I guess I don't go places by myself anymore.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

That's the thing that happens when you shut down the economy is like crime just not only did they shut down the economy, but they also like handicapped the police officers like they, you know, cops are terrified to arrest anybody. I was talking to a friend who's got a friend that's a fireman, who's friends with cops and they were all discussing this apparently that they just don't know what to do. Like they have they're scared to arrest people because they're scared that they're going to do something that's going to be abusive and they're going to get filmed and then or considered abusive or if someone's resisting arrest and they're just in this weird position where a lot of people hate the police now.
