NIGHT. All day.

0:12

>> What's up, Marcus? Good to see you,

0:15

brother. What's happening?

0:16

>> It's crazy to be here.

0:17

>> It's crazy to have you here, man. And

0:18

thank you so much for the guitar. That's

0:20

the dopest [ __ ] that anybody's ever

0:21

given me.

0:22

>> Oh, man. I hope you like it.

0:23

>> I'm sure I like it. I just can't play.

0:25

And I I would love to learn how to play,

0:27

but I know my brain and I I can't give

0:30

my brain another thing to do.

0:31

>> You've got a lot.

0:32

>> Well, the problem is I get obsessed with

0:34

things. And then

0:35

>> me, too.

0:36

>> I'm sure you can't get as good as you

0:38

got without getting obsessed.

0:39

>> Are you like this? Like I don't like

0:41

doing things I'm not good at.

0:43

>> I love doing things I'm not good at to

0:45

get good at them.

0:46

>> Right. But it's it's it's just it's not

0:48

leisurely to me to play golf. Like I

0:51

can't enjoy it because I'm I'm bad at

0:53

it. Well, you'll enjoy it if you get

0:55

good at it, but the problem is to get

0:57

good at it, then you got to get

0:58

obsessed. Yeah. And then you got to take

1:00

less. Like Jamie's got a [ __ ] virtual

1:02

reality thing in the back where he

1:03

whacks balls every day. He's a

1:05

>> Oh, yeah.

1:05

>> He's obsessive.

1:06

>> Recovering from hitting today.

1:08

>> Sweating. Wow.

1:09

>> Hot.

1:10

>> My drummer is a really good golfer.

1:12

>> Golf is one of those things that if you

1:13

get into that, man, that's your whole

1:15

[ __ ] day. That's

1:18

>> three or four days a week on the road.

1:21

When I was living in Boston, I noticed

1:24

that the comedians that really got into

1:25

golf, their career kind of stalled

1:28

>> because all they were they were just

1:30

playing golf all day, having fun,

1:31

drinking, and then they would go to the

1:33

club at night, but they weren't writing

1:35

any new jokes. They weren't obsessing

1:37

>> on their career. They kind of stalled

1:39

out a little.

1:40

>> When I still drank, I really liked

1:42

golfing. Then I quit drinking. I was

1:44

like, I don't really like this.

1:47

>> When did you quit drinking? Uh well I

1:50

quit a few times but uh most recent time

1:53

was like a year and a half ago.

1:55

>> Were you quitting because it was you

1:57

were just off the rails or like got to

2:00

get your health in order?

2:01

>> Uh it was a it was kind of a combo deal,

2:04

you know. Um like when I met my wife uh

2:08

at that point I thought that I could

2:09

drink like a gentleman. Um and it just

2:12

never really worked out that way. There

2:14

was, you know, there's just something in

2:16

me that just wanted to completely burn

2:19

my life to the ground every time I

2:21

drank, you know,

2:22

>> a real destructive quality.

2:24

>> Ooh, that's not good.

2:26

>> Yeah.

2:26

>> Yeah. Fortunately, I never had that. But

2:29

that is a thing. I've seen that. What is

2:32

that?

2:34

>> I think it's

2:37

I think a lot of it is repressed

2:39

emotions.

2:40

Um, and that's where they find you when

2:43

your when your brain is

2:45

>> off the bottle.

2:46

>> Yeah.

2:47

>> Yeah.

2:48

>> They go, "Hey, Marcus."

2:49

>> Yeah, man.

2:50

>> Let's get those problems out.

2:52

>> It seduces me. It's like, you don't need

2:54

anybody. [ __ ] everybody. That woman that

2:57

married you, she you don't want her.

3:00

Like,

3:01

>> I think sometimes people do that to

3:02

almost like save themselves from

3:04

heartbreak. Sometimes you kind of like

3:07

wreck it yourself. It's like making fun

3:09

of yourself before anyone else can.

3:11

Right.

3:11

>> It's like that thing.

3:12

>> Yeah. Right. Like just assume it's going

3:16

to go bad eventually. Let's get this

3:17

[ __ ] train on the tracks right now.

3:19

Crack pour.

3:26

>> That was that was kind of my, you know,

3:28

that was my approach for a while. I just

3:31

um I don't know, man. I was just I

3:34

didn't want to feel anything. So that

3:36

was all that was where it would always

3:37

end up because I remember even asking my

3:39

wife like a couple years ago we opened

3:41

up for the AIT brothers in Raleigh,

3:43

North Carolina. And at that point, I'd

3:45

been sober for like six months and I was

3:48

like, I really think I can handle it,

3:50

you know? And then and then got to it's

3:53

like famous last words like I chug a a

3:56

jumbo white claw. Like I started with a

3:58

jumbo white claw and I just got

4:00

completely hammered, blacked out. Pissed

4:03

my wife off so bad. Like I woke up and I

4:06

was at our friend's house still like on

4:07

the floor

4:08

>> and she left in my bus

4:11

>> and like my wallet everything was on the

4:14

bus. I had no identification. She was

4:15

like, "You can [ __ ] figure it out,

4:17

man."

4:18

>> Wow.

4:19

>> And uh the bus turned around come and

4:20

got me. But

4:22

>> um

4:23

>> yeah, she doesn't play any games.

4:25

>> So did you stop then?

4:28

>> Yeah, I did. I did.

4:29

>> Oh, so one night? Yeah, I had one night

4:32

off the leash and I realized I couldn't

4:34

handle it, you know? There's just some

4:37

kind of quality in me that's like I

4:41

can't stop, you know? And maybe someday

4:44

I'll find that it's like I got to get

4:47

right in here, you know, and in here

4:49

>> with myself

4:50

>> before I can really

4:52

>> consider that again.

4:55

>> I quit drinking for about eight months

4:57

just because I realized I just wasn't

4:58

feeling good. I was doing because of the

5:01

club. I was at the club every night and

5:04

you know it's like one night someone

5:07

would say, "Hey, let's do shots." I'll

5:09

do a shot. I want to be, you know,

5:12

cordial, hang out with everybody, sense

5:14

of community. Let's all do it together.

5:16

Come on, boys. And then, you know, it's

5:19

two drinks, three drinks. Go home, get

5:22

up, feel like [ __ ] work out, do it

5:25

again the next day, feel even shittier

5:27

the next day. And it's like, god damn, I

5:29

got to take some time off. So, I took

5:31

about eight months off, I think. I think

5:33

I'm not exactly sure how much time I

5:35

took off. And then, uh, I had like a

5:38

drink with dinner one night and I said,

5:40

"This all right." And so, since then,

5:42

I've never gotten drunk. I've only had a

5:44

drink or two.

5:46

>> Yeah.

5:47

>> You know, so I've managed it, but I was

5:49

not an alcoholic. I was just realizing

5:51

that all this fun was it was messing up

5:55

the rest of my time. I was like, "What

5:57

is it? There's an expression that when

5:59

you're drinking like the you're you're

6:03

taking a loan out on the good times that

6:07

you could have had for some good times

6:09

you can have right now and then you got

6:10

to pay it back."

6:12

>> Yeah. With with interest.

6:14

>> Yeah. Well, physic the problem is

6:16

physically for me it just wasn't worth

6:18

it.

6:19

>> I just I would be working out at the gym

6:21

going, "Why why am I doing this? I keep

6:24

feeling like shit." And every time I'm

6:26

working out, I'm pushing through all

6:28

this, you know, toxic [ __ ] that I poured

6:32

down my throat the night before. And my

6:34

body's recovering from it. So, I feel

6:36

tired and drained. And then my brain

6:38

wasn't working as well, you know?

6:41

That was that's what it was for me was

6:43

like the anxiety

6:44

>> and just like the um the dopamine

6:48

depletion

6:49

>> and just feeling just completely just

6:51

like and I'm somebody who was already

6:53

struggling with like that's why I drink

6:55

in the first place. It's like my mental

6:58

issues and just anxiety and depression

7:01

and and then it would just kind of hit

7:03

me tfold the next day. Um,

7:06

>> it's always interesting to me someone

7:08

with anxiety chooses a path in life like

7:12

live performing.

7:13

>> Yeah.

7:14

>> Because like if there's anything that

7:16

gives people anxiety, it's live

7:19

performing and you're really good at it,

7:22

>> which is crazy. It's like, you know,

7:24

you're you're picking this thing that

7:26

you're really good at, but that gives a

7:28

lot of people anxiety and you have

7:30

anxiety to begin with.

7:32

>> Yeah. I mean, it's like there's there's

7:35

something to that. It's like Dan Soder,

7:37

I always quote him on this. He's like,

7:39

you know, I go around each night like

7:43

craving the approval of like thousands

7:45

of people a night. You're like, you

7:47

didn't think I was doing that cuz things

7:49

went well growing up, you know? Like,

7:51

I'm [ __ ] up. I need I need all these

7:54

people to tell me I'm doing a good job.

7:56

But

7:58

um

7:58

>> I think the idea is that eventually you

8:01

channel that and when you get yourself

8:04

the idea some people have this idea that

8:06

if you ever get yourself together

8:08

somewhat

8:09

and I don't think anybody ever gets

8:10

totally together but you get yourself

8:12

together somewhat and then you don't you

8:16

don't do it for the approval of it. who

8:18

do it for the love of the art of it,

8:20

>> the thing, and bringing the thing to

8:22

people and getting enjoyment out of

8:24

having these people have a good time. Y

8:26

>> I think you I think that can be done. I

8:29

think you can shift your focus from I

8:33

just want these people's love to I want

8:35

to give them love. I want everyone to

8:38

have a good time, you know? I want to be

8:40

up there just [ __ ] having a good

8:42

time. They're having a good time. We all

8:44

have a good time together. I make their

8:46

lives feel better for a brief moment. I

8:48

feel better. Everybody's Everybody's

8:50

better off.

8:51

>> And that's the [ __ ] man. That's what I

8:53

crave. And that I mean, that's why like

8:55

we just did a run of Texas Honky Tons,

8:58

which that's that was kind of the the

9:00

goal was just to get everybody in these

9:01

sweaty rooms just for the purpose of

9:03

just like enjoying music again, getting

9:06

back to these sticky floors.

9:07

>> Yeah. Well, you reached out to me

9:10

because we were talking on the podcast

9:11

about how rock and roll is kind of dead.

9:13

And you said, "Fucking rock and roll

9:14

ain't dead. Come on." And I was like,

9:16

"All right. Well, is anybody that could

9:19

tell me that rock and roll is not dead?

9:21

It's Marcus King, man."

9:24

Yeah. I was um my boy Ben Jernigan, he

9:28

told me, he was like, "You should text

9:29

Joe." Cuz I I I'm an avid listener. I

9:33

was like, "You think I should say

9:34

something?" He's like, "Yeah, [ __ ]

9:36

tell Rock and Roll ain't dead, man. It's

9:37

here tonight. Green Hall.

9:38

>> Well, it's not dead, but it's different.

9:42

>> And a lot of the rock that's out now

9:45

that's doing really well is like a

9:47

southern inspired rock, which is

9:49

interesting. There's like a southern

9:52

almost country like rock, like bluesy

9:55

country rock, you know, red clay strays,

9:58

like that kind of [ __ ] They're doing

9:59

great. Yeah.

10:00

>> It's like there's a lot of that out

10:01

there, you know, like people people are

10:05

digging that kind of music, but there's

10:07

just, you know, when I talk about like

10:10

rock, I mean, like when I was in high

10:12

school, it was all Van Halen, AC/DC,

10:16

like that. There was so many big rock

10:19

and roll bands, the Stones, you know,

10:22

there was just so much of that out

10:24

there. And it's odd that there's not a

10:28

lot of big bands like that anymore.

10:32

>> I think it's coming back around.

10:34

>> I got to hope so.

10:36

>> It doesn't make sense to me because like

10:38

the classic rock is still like we're

10:41

we're in the green room and uh Freeird

10:43

comes on. Still everybody's going nuts.

10:46

>> I mean,

10:47

>> you know, I mean there's classics.

10:49

Another southern rock and roll band,

10:51

Leonard Skard. But there's there's still

10:54

like a love of that kind of music, but

10:57

it's just it's weird that it kind of,

11:02

you know, just didn't I don't know what

11:05

happened.

11:05

>> Well, it's interesting how cyclical the

11:07

music industry can be. And like

11:10

>> I feel like for the first time in the

11:12

last 10 years, like since Urban Cowboy

11:14

came out, like cuz I mean for the last

11:16

10 years I've been going to LA with a

11:18

cowboy hat on and I always get the same

11:22

[ __ ] like, "Well, where do you want to

11:23

park your horse?" You know, like, "What

11:26

are you up to, cowboy?" People just

11:28

talking [ __ ] But now I go out there and

11:29

everybody's got a cowboy hat on. Really?

11:31

>> It's like chic. Yeah,

11:33

>> that's interesting.

11:34

>> It's like in Vogue,

11:36

>> like the cowboy thing

11:37

>> and makes you not want to wear a cowboy

11:40

hat.

11:41

>> Well, you know, it's just I think rock

11:44

and roll is kind of having a a similar

11:46

resurgence.

11:47

>> God, I hope so. I hope so. You know, I

11:50

mean, there's got to be people out there

11:54

that still love it. And I just don't I

11:56

mean, I just don't understand how

11:58

there's no new big bands like that.

12:03

>> Well, it's interesting. You know, I was

12:06

actually I was in the gym watching um

12:10

Led Zeppelin at Royal Albert Hall.

12:12

>> Oh, wow.

12:13

>> And I was like, "This is a [ __ ] jam

12:15

band. They're jamming."

12:16

>> Mhm.

12:17

>> You know,

12:17

>> and I'm like, it just like the Almond

12:19

Brothers band was a jam band, but like

12:21

they had guidelines and that's kind of

12:23

how we do our show. like we have songs

12:25

that we're playing just to get to that

12:28

that improvisational section where we

12:31

can just kind of, you know, work with

12:33

the chemistry of the crowd and each

12:35

other on stage.

12:36

>> And it's just um

12:39

it's interesting to me like the way

12:41

things have become subdivided, you know?

12:43

It's like you're not a jam band unless

12:45

it's like widespread or like Fish or

12:47

like the Dead or something like that.

12:49

But like Zeppelin was a [ __ ] jam

12:51

band.

12:52

>> Yeah. In a lot of ways. Yeah. Especially

12:54

when they're performing live.

12:56

>> Yeah.

12:57

>> Yeah. It's

13:00

What is that band that sounds like

13:01

Zeppelin?

13:02

>> Gretan Fleet.

13:03

>> Yeah. Gretan Fleet. They're [ __ ]

13:05

great. They are great.

13:06

>> It's weird.

13:07

>> It's weird cuz they sound so much like

13:10

Zeppelin. But they're really good. So

13:13

like I give them a pass.

13:15

>> They get a pass from me. I mean they're

13:17

my boys. I I really I really like those

13:20

dudes. Like we used to party together a

13:22

bunch. They live in Nashville. And uh

13:25

the guitar player, Jake, he's

13:28

um he's just the sweetest guy. Like he

13:31

gave me a housewarming gift. He's like

13:33

really into pirate stuff.

13:34

>> Pirate stuff.

13:35

>> Yeah. He's really into piracy. And he

13:37

gave me he gave me a like a like a um

13:43

like a musket pistol.

13:45

>> Oh wow.

13:45

>> Like what a pirate would have carried

13:46

around. I got

13:47

>> a real one.

13:48

>> Yeah.

13:49

>> So like from the olden days.

13:50

>> Yeah.

13:50

>> Oh [ __ ] That's got to be worth a lot of

13:52

[ __ ] money.

13:53

>> Yeah. I mean, they're doing pretty well.

13:56

>> Wow. What is a old musket pistol run?

13:59

How much can you get one of them for?

14:01

See if you can find something, Jamie.

14:02

>> Musket.

14:03

>> Yeah, an old musket pistol. You know,

14:06

when um the concistadors took over

14:09

Mexico. That's They had 12 of those.

14:11

That's it.

14:12

>> 12 guns.

14:13

>> 12 musket pistols.

14:14

>> Wow.

14:15

>> Yeah. I looked that up on Perplexity. I

14:17

was I was diving deep into how the [ __ ]

14:20

Mexico became Spanish.

14:22

>> Yeah.

14:23

>> You know, like what happened? How did

14:24

they like they lost like a hundred

14:26

indigenous languages at least?

14:28

>> Wow.

14:29

>> It's kind of crazy. But here it is.

14:33

>> What? You can get one from 195 bucks.

14:36

>> Modern reproduction.

14:37

>> Oh, reproductions. What about a real one

14:40

>> down here?

14:40

>> Antique ones. Uh 17th century Barbie

14:44

wars antique pirate flint lock pistol

14:46

recently sold for $416. That's it.

14:49

>> Yeah.

14:51

>> H

14:51

>> that seems crazy.

14:54

>> That seems crazy. That's a

14:56

>> It's pretty good for a gift budget.

14:58

>> I'd say it looks based off how many

14:59

reproductions and what you just said

15:01

there being 12 back then. There might

15:02

not be that many of them that exist. So

15:04

they have to make reproductions. But if

15:06

this says antique pirate era musketss

15:08

and it said it sold for 416 bucks I mean

15:12

from the 17th century.

15:13

>> Maybe it sucks. Maybe it's a bad one.

15:16

That's all they can get.

15:17

>> But it's from the 1600s and it sold for

15:20

416 bucks.

15:21

>> I'll try to look it up.

15:22

>> Can you see what what those look like?

15:24

>> This should show up.

15:25

>> We'll see if we can get one.

15:27

>> We should get one and put it on the

15:28

wall. Oh [ __ ] Look at that one.

15:31

>> How much is that one?

15:31

>> That's I think that's the one that sold

15:33

for 400 bucks. That says $155. What?

15:37

>> That's crazy.

15:40

>> How are they so cheap?

15:43

>> There's the one for 416.

15:44

>> God, that seems like they should be

15:46

almost priceless.

15:48

I mean, this is from the [ __ ] 1600s

15:51

and it's sold for 400 bucks.

15:54

That one sold for 200 bucks.

15:57

>> Wow.

15:58

>> Just go pick them up. There's a store in

15:59

Austin. I bet they've got a bunch.

16:00

>> No way.

16:01

>> Yeah.

16:01

>> Really?

16:02

>> Well, I went to the store. Well, they've

16:03

got a bunch of weird [ __ ] like this.

16:04

They must They would have to have them

16:06

if they're only 300 bucks, I guess. I

16:07

would say.

16:08

>> And all kinds of armor and guns and

16:10

cannons and weird [ __ ]

16:11

>> What? What place is this?

16:12

>> It's called like Collector's

16:16

I'll look it up real quick.

16:17

>> There's something weird about those

16:18

dudes who like uh want to recreate wars.

16:21

>> Yeah,

16:21

>> that's an odd thing. That's a very odd

16:24

thing.

16:24

>> Yeah. I mean, I've got the facial hair

16:27

of a Civil War reactor, but that's about

16:31

as close as I get.

16:33

>> On the wall.

16:34

>> Oh, wow.

16:36

>> That's in Austin.

16:37

>> Yeah.

16:37

>> No [ __ ]

16:38

>> Yeah.

16:39

>> Well, that's pretty [ __ ] dope.

16:41

>> Yeah.

16:42

>> Collector's Crossroads.

16:43

>> Popped in there one day to see what it

16:44

was about.

16:45

>> And they have little musket pistols.

16:47

>> They got all kinds of [ __ ]

16:48

>> I wonder how do you know the

16:49

>> crossbows swords?

16:51

>> Crossbow's just a shitty gun.

16:54

I'm not a fan.

16:56

>> What if it was a pirates crossbow?

16:58

>> Yeah, I guess it's kind of cool. But

17:01

it's just uh

17:03

it is weird that we're really into like

17:06

old like you you know it's interesting

17:09

you're holding something that's a piece

17:11

of history. And what history is is like

17:13

at the time this was the [ __ ]

17:15

>> Like at the time this was like the

17:17

coolest thing you can get. Like 400

17:19

years ago if you wanted to kill somebody

17:20

this was the way to do it. You had to

17:22

get one of these things, which is very

17:23

odd.

17:24

>> Yeah,

17:25

>> it's just very odd that

17:27

>> Oh, look at all this stuff.

17:28

>> I don't know if it was George Washington

17:29

[ __ ] there, but they had That's what it

17:31

looks like. It would be

17:32

>> George Washington swords.

17:33

>> I don't know.

17:34

>> We should get one of those for Shane.

17:36

He's a big George Washington fan.

17:38

>> Look, there you go.

17:40

>> Oh, wow. Look at that.

17:43

That's crazy.

17:44

>> So, yeah. I mean, I don't even know what

17:46

that

17:46

>> That's a weird one. Look at the handle

17:48

on that [ __ ]

17:49

>> Says from Middle East, Central Asia.

17:50

That could be

17:51

>> Oh, look. It's got like a dragon mouth

17:53

on the back of it.

17:54

>> That's pretty sweet.

17:55

>> Wow.

17:56

>> Huh.

17:56

>> All right. So,

17:57

>> we need one of those.

17:58

>> All right. Let's take a road trip,

18:00

Jamie.

18:01

>> We should probably do it before this

18:02

episode comes out.

18:03

>> Grab it tonight.

18:03

>> Yeah, we need to go down there today

18:05

before this episode go [ __ ] up their

18:08

business.

18:10

Go there. It's empty. All these dorks

18:12

have [ __ ] armor all over their house

18:14

now.

18:16

It's just people that are really into

18:18

like the old wars and recreating old

18:20

wars. I always I always want to know

18:22

like what's wrong with you? Like what

18:24

happened to you? Like

18:26

>> Yeah. It's um I grew up with a kid that

18:30

was like that that was obsessed with

18:32

like everything Army, Navy. Um but he

18:36

his father was in the military but he

18:38

had never gone into the military. They

18:40

wouldn't they wouldn't accept him.

18:41

>> Why?

18:43

>> I don't know. He was I don't think he

18:44

could ever pass the physical. He was a a

18:46

bigger dude.

18:47

>> Oh, okay.

18:48

>> His name was Maurice.

18:49

19:50

They say that 77% of American kids can't

19:53

pass the physical to get into the

19:55

military.

19:56

>> I believe it, man. Just based on my own

19:58

experience, like I remember the

19:59

presidential fitness test. Like that's a

20:02

that's a bad memory of mine. Just

20:04

hanging on the the pull-up bar in front

20:07

of all my my classmates and not being

20:10

able to do one pull-up. Just hanging

20:12

there.

20:13

>> What is the presidential fitness test?

20:15

>> Uh it's something they did when I was a

20:17

kid. It's like they wanted to make sure

20:19

that you could do like 10 push-ups or

20:22

however many pull-ups or whatever.

20:23

>> How many pull-ups do you have to do for

20:25

the presidential fitness test?

20:26

>> Uh well, there's different standard, but

20:28

they literally, this was going on last

20:29

week. They just started it up again.

20:31

Donald Trump had uh like Bryson Desambo

20:33

in the White House with a couple guys.

20:35

Gary Player, golfer.

20:37

>> Well, they had kids in there also.

20:39

>> That's funny.

20:40

>> It's funny because you I' I'd go, "Hey,

20:42

why don't you do it?

20:46

>> Let me see you do a [ __ ] up, bro."

20:48

>> 22 push-ups for a 10-year-old.

20:50

>> 22 push-ups. That's a lot.

20:53

>> Yeah. 45 curl-ups. That's crazy.

20:55

>> Six pull-ups. That's a lot. What's a

20:58

curl up? with the other way like biceps.

21:00

Uh hands, you know, pull up with your

21:02

hands.

21:02

>> 45.

21:03

>> Yeah.

21:04

>> Come on.

21:05

>> That's crazy.

21:07

>> Wait a minute.

21:08

>> In an 8 minutee mile.

21:09

>> Come on. Is that really?

21:11

>> It says six pull-ups or 45 curl-ups. But

21:14

curl-ups aren't that much easier than

21:16

pull-ups, are they?

21:17

>> I remember when I was 10, they were.

21:19

>> What?

21:20

>> But that's just being a 10-year-old cuz

21:22

your body you only weigh like 60, you

21:24

know? I don't know. Kids are light.

21:25

Usually, lighter than I am. I was

21:27

heavier than most.

21:28

>> Yeah, that's I was going to say there

21:30

are different standards. I remember kids

21:31

some

21:31

>> But bro, 45 is crazy. That seems That

21:35

seems excessive.

21:36

>> That seems like a lot of reps. I don't

21:38

even understand how that's possible.

21:40

That that's the standard. I don't think

21:42

I could do that.

21:44

>> Uh actually, I think there are sit-ups.

21:46

It's calling it a curl-up cuz here it

21:47

says it measures abdominal strength.

21:49

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sit-ups.

21:51

>> Okay. Oh, why are they calling it

21:53

curl-ups? cuz it was like 45 chin-ups.

21:57

So, it's like there's pull-ups and

21:59

chin-ups. Which one's a pull-up? Which

22:01

one's a chin-up?

22:01

>> Pull-up hands over.

22:03

>> Okay. And then chin up.

22:04

>> And I was saying, "Yeah, that's what I

22:06

>> 45 of those would be bonkers. That's cra

22:08

I can't do that. That's cuz like six

22:11

pull-ups I could do easy." But 45 But

22:16

sit-ups is still hard. That's hard, too.

22:18

>> Well,

22:19

>> that's a lot.

22:20

>> It's a standard,

22:21

>> huh?

22:22

>> Not every kid's there. That seems like a

22:24

lot of kids wouldn't be there for 45

22:26

situps.

22:27

>> Yep.

22:29

>> What are they trying to do?

22:30

>> What are they doing to us?

22:32

>> I would fail on that, too. So, they

22:33

couldn't draft me. These [ __ ]

22:35

are talking about drafting people. I was

22:37

listening to Tim Dylan show and he was

22:38

saying that Pal see if this is true that

22:40

Palunteer thinks that uh we should

22:42

reintroduce conscription conscription

22:45

that kids should start getting drafted

22:47

again into military and they should have

22:48

mandatory military experience for kids.

22:51

I just don't understand why anybody

22:53

would want to support that. That sounds

22:54

crazy,

22:57

especially after this Iran war where

22:59

everybody's like, "Why the [ __ ] are we

23:00

in Iran?" And if you signed up for that,

23:07

that sounds nuts. Is that real?

23:10

Palanteers publicly call for the US to

23:12

move away from an allv volunteer

23:14

military and towards some form of

23:16

universal national service that many

23:19

observers interpret as reintroducing a

23:22

draft or conscription.

23:24

>> Yeah, Tim got into this manifesto that I

23:26

didn't I haven't looked into this yet.

23:30

>> Why the [ __ ] would a tech company be

23:32

saying that we need to move towards a

23:35

universal national military service? How

23:38

about [ __ ] you?

23:41

How about [ __ ] you, youug go?

23:44

Because you know none of these tech

23:45

dorks that are running these companies,

23:47

they're not doing it. Like what are you

23:48

what are you talking about?

23:50

>> Yeah.

23:50

>> Throwing meat into the machine, right?

23:53

>> Throwing people's children into these

23:55

unnecessary wars. [ __ ] you.

23:58

>> It's scary.

23:59

>> It's very scary. It's scary that they

24:01

would like how about let's figure out a

24:04

way to use your technology so there's no

24:06

more wars. Wouldn't that be a better

24:07

goal,

24:08

>> right?

24:08

>> Instead of getting kids to [ __ ] learn

24:11

how to go shoot people they don't know.

24:13

>> Sure.

24:14

>> Because someone tells you to.

24:16

>> And how many of these out of all the

24:18

wars that we've been in since World War

24:20

II? Is it zero that made sense? I think

24:24

it's zero. I don't think there's one war

24:26

that we've been in since World War II

24:28

that makes any [ __ ] sense at all.

24:30

>> Sure. and they're like, I think the the

24:32

solution is we need more people to be

24:37

forced into it.

24:38

>> I mean, what would a draft look like in

24:40

today's culture? I mean, like with

24:42

inclusion, would it be like anybody at

24:45

18 years old can be drafted or do you

24:47

think it would still be just able-bodied

24:49

young men?

24:51

>> That's a good question.

24:53

I, you know, I'm for people doing

24:57

whatever they want, but when it comes to

24:59

like combat,

25:02

you're going to draft women, that would

25:04

be [ __ ] insane.

25:06

That would be insane.

25:08

So, are you not going to Are you going

25:10

to be sexist? Are you going to Yeah. Are

25:12

you going to go inclusion and say

25:15

everybody has to do it? Well, then

25:17

that'll be good for America cuz most

25:19

people would say, "Get the [ __ ] out of

25:20

here. Yeah, there's not a chance in hell

25:22

we're doing that,

25:23

>> right?

25:23

>> I just don't understand how people that

25:25

aren't elected officials that

25:26

essentially just run a tech company

25:28

would think it's a good idea to call for

25:30

national military service. I've heard

25:32

other people say that, too. I've heard

25:34

like podcasters and weird tech people

25:37

say it's a good idea. And I don't know

25:39

what the [ __ ] they're thinking. I think

25:41

they should have to go over there and

25:42

experience war and then and then come

25:45

back and see if you really think the

25:47

same thing.

25:48

>> Sure. I I buy that. I mean, or at least

25:51

go on like a USO tour or something. Go

25:54

with Jeffrey Ross to see what it's

25:56

about, you know?

25:57

>> Well, then you're just going to meet

25:58

people that are happy to see you. You

26:00

need to actually see combat.

26:03

I just don't get why we're even

26:05

listening to them. You You make

26:07

software. Keep doing that.

26:09

>> Yeah. It's interesting that they would

26:11

even have the

26:13

>> like why would they say that?

26:14

>> It doesn't No, it doesn't sound good.

26:16

And it's also they make weird

26:18

surveillance software that a lot of

26:19

people are like but how much are you

26:21

surveillance how much power do you have?

26:23

Like Tim Dylan went pretty deep on it on

26:24

the show which is I can't recommend

26:26

enough. If you did not listen to Tim

26:28

Dylan show you're [ __ ] up. It's the

26:30

funniest [ __ ] take on all the chaos

26:32

that's going on in the world. I don't

26:34

think there's anybody better right now.

26:36

His His podcast is [ __ ] phenomenal.

26:39

Um it's my must listen to podcast every

26:42

week.

26:42

>> Yep.

26:43

>> It's so good.

26:45

I just listen. But if you watch it, it's

26:46

even more ridiculous. He was He did this

26:49

thing about them giving OMPic to babies.

26:55

It was so funny. It was so ridiculous.

27:00

My dad did Ozmpic and he said, he said,

27:03

"Man, you know, like you can eat through

27:05

that." He's like, he's like, "You can

27:08

just keep going. I mean, you won't feel

27:09

great, but you know, it curves your

27:11

appetite, but you can you can get it

27:13

down." Well, Tim talked about it because

27:16

he did it and he said it didn't just

27:19

stop his desire for food, it stopped his

27:21

desire for everything,

27:23

which I've heard. Um, so there's some

27:27

people that think there's some good in

27:29

these GLP1s for addiction. Um, because

27:33

it curbs whatever that is as well. So,

27:36

it can help people with all kind all

27:38

kinds of addictions, too. Not just like

27:40

food addictions, alcohol, but gambling,

27:42

like weird stuff.

27:43

>> I heard that.

27:44

>> Yeah,

27:45

>> I did. I actually I was doing it for a

27:47

minute and it was around the time that I

27:50

was like one of the times I was trying

27:52

to quit drinking and I was working on a

27:54

record and um I was trying it out and it

27:57

actually curbed my desire for a drink.

28:00

>> Yeah.

28:01

>> Yeah.

28:02

>> What else did it do?

28:04

>> Gave me really bad stomach cramps.

28:06

>> Yeah.

28:07

And also, I mean, that was like before I

28:11

really

28:12

I just I don't know at that at that time

28:15

in my life, I just wasn't really

28:17

concerned about what I put in my body,

28:19

you know? I say that while I'm smoking a

28:21

cigarette, but you know,

28:25

but dude, you're you're smoking natural

28:26

spirits. I think those are safe and

28:29

effective.

28:30

>> Yeah. You know, additive free.

28:33

>> Yeah. Um, I just, uh, I always wonder

28:37

about these things when things come

28:38

along that give people an easy fix.

28:40

Like, okay, maybe it works or maybe

28:42

there's some sort of side effect that's

28:44

going to [ __ ] you up for the rest of

28:45

your life. And for some people, there

28:47

is. I mean, some people are experiencing

28:49

all kinds of wild side effects. Stomach

28:51

paralysis is one of them. Um, Brian

28:54

Simpson got pancreatitis from it.

28:56

>> Really?

28:56

>> Mhm.

28:58

>> Yeah. He was sick in bed for like two

29:00

weeks. It [ __ ] him up. Yeah. Well,

29:03

yeah. I mean, the long-term effects like

29:05

you just have no idea because it's new.

29:08

>> You know,

29:09

>> I've also heard that the problem is the

29:12

dosages are too high and what, you know,

29:14

when you go into a doctor, they give you

29:16

a standard dosage and the way to do it,

29:19

some people feel, is to make a much

29:21

smaller dose than what they're

29:24

prescribing. And that that's what you

29:26

need. You just need a little bit of a

29:28

curb to it. Not like a complete

29:30

sessation of all desire to eat,

29:34

>> right? Get to that that high dosage

29:37

really fast could probably be harmful.

29:40

>> Or have some [ __ ] discipline. How

29:43

about try that out? How about try out

29:45

don't eat as much.

29:47

>> Same thing, right?

29:48

>> Except this way it's not going to kill

29:49

your body or kill your stomach or make

29:52

you go blind or what? What are the side

29:54

effects?

29:54

>> I was just looking

29:55

>> because there's a lot of lawsuits.

29:56

There's a [ __ ] ton of lawsuits that are

29:59

coming down the pipe because I think

30:01

people have gone blind. I think I might

30:03

have made that up. Chuck that.

30:07

But this there's some wild lawsuits.

30:10

>> Yeah.

30:11

>> Where people are claiming bad side

30:13

effects from this stuff, which you know

30:16

makes sense. It's a medication. People

30:18

vary biologically.

30:19

>> Can cause vision.

30:21

>> Permanent blindness.

30:22

>> Yeah. So

30:22

>> in one eye. Oh, well, you know, you got

30:25

your other guy and now you got a

30:27

six-pack.

30:30

>> Eye stroke.

30:31

>> Eye stroke. Oh, boy.

30:33

>> Wow.

30:34

>> Woo. Non arteritic anterior eskeemic

30:39

optic neuropathy. I don't think I said

30:41

that right. Sudden painless and often

30:44

permanent blindness in one eye.

30:48

>> Sounds like a punk band.

30:49

>> It does.

30:50

>> There's the other ones.

30:52

side effects. Uh, acute pancreatitis,

30:55

that's what Brian got, gallbladder

30:57

problems, gastroparesis,

31:01

stomach paralysis, bowel obstructions,

31:04

and potential thyroid tumors. H, mild GI

31:08

issues are common. These severe

31:11

complications require immediate medical

31:13

attention, often occurring more

31:15

frequently at higher doses. Yeah, that's

31:17

what they're saying. Uh it's apparently

31:19

when you're getting it from a

31:20

pharmaceutical drug company, you're

31:22

getting it that this is the argument for

31:24

um compoundingies apparently.

31:27

And then then there's a new one that's

31:29

coming out. What is it called? Ratuide.

31:31

>> Retratide.

31:33

>> Retatrutide. And this one is supposed to

31:36

be better because it doesn't cause

31:38

muscle loss and it doesn't cause bone

31:41

density loss and it's supposed to be

31:43

more effective.

31:45

Huh. investigational.

31:48

>> I mean, I don't I just typed in red a

31:50

true type was telling me.

31:51

>> Isn't that a weird word?

31:52

Investigational. Once weekly injectable

31:56

triple agonist medication targeting

31:58

GLP1, GIP, and gluccogen receptors

32:02

developed by Eli Liy, showing

32:04

unprecedented weight loss results of up

32:07

to 24% in phase 2 trials. They say that

32:10

this is going to be a trillion dollar

32:11

medication.

32:15

Or have some [ __ ] discipline.

32:18

>> Yeah.

32:18

>> Go to the gym, eat better, be healthy.

32:22

Do what Jelly Roll did.

32:23

>> Yeah.

32:23

>> You know, Jelly Roll was at the club

32:25

last night. He's down 300 lb.

32:28

>> That's [ __ ] nuts.

32:29

>> He runs like five miles a day. He works

32:31

out every day.

32:33

>> He looks fantastic. He looks like a

32:35

different person. It's like I I knew him

32:37

when he was like 500 lb and now I know

32:40

him when he's in the twos. It's like

32:41

he's a different human. He looks

32:43

different. Like I know it's still Jelly

32:44

Roll, but it looks like a completely

32:46

different man. It's nuts.

32:49

>> I remember when we did u I was in the

32:51

house band for Kill Tony at the Garden

32:54

and Jelly came out and did New York New

32:56

York.

32:57

>> I was there.

32:57

>> That's got to be a custom suit.

32:59

>> I was like that's a big suit.

33:01

>> Yeah.

33:02

>> And then the next time I saw him he was

33:03

like he is now. And um I mean help like

33:07

what I did cuz like I have an appetite,

33:09

you know, like what I do now like I I'm

33:12

basically doing like a keto diet cuz I

33:14

like to eat a lot of whatever it is. Me

33:16

too.

33:17

>> So if it's like a big salad, you know,

33:19

or whatever, but I'm down like 25 pounds

33:21

doing that.

33:22

>> Oh, that's nice.

33:22

>> Yeah.

33:23

>> Are you doing this with the help of a

33:25

nutritionist? Are you just doing it on

33:26

your own?

33:27

>> Just doing it on my own.

33:30

>> Yeah.

33:30

>> Yeah.

33:31

>> You're laughing.

33:32

>> Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, it's just

33:34

um I've tried a few different routes,

33:37

man. I've been I've been, you know,

33:40

husky since I was a kid and shopping in

33:42

the husky department at Kmart, you know.

33:45

>> Is this uh do you think it's a genetic

33:47

thing? Do you think it's the way you ate

33:49

as a child? What do you think?

33:51

>> I think psychological a lot of it um it

33:54

was like the only thing I had control of

33:56

as a as a child is like food. It was

33:59

like and a scarcity mindset as well.

34:02

>> Yeah.

34:02

>> Just like the way that I,

34:05

>> you know, think about food is just, you

34:07

know,

34:08

>> probably not the healthiest. So for me,

34:09

it's just easier to say like I don't eat

34:11

these things cuz like if I eat bread or

34:15

something like that, it just hurts my

34:16

stomach now, you know, and I just I can

34:19

feel

34:21

like the difference when I don't eat it,

34:23

you know? I just feel better. I have

34:25

more energy. I just

34:26

>> 100%. Yeah.

34:27

>> Yeah. And once you get your body working

34:30

on ketones too, the thing is you just

34:32

your brain functions better. That's one

34:34

of the more interesting things. This is

34:36

why people take things like um

34:39

um like ketone, what is it? Ketone IQ.

34:42

>> That stuff's great. Like you just down

34:44

one of those little shots and it puts

34:46

you into ketosis temporarily.

34:48

>> Oh, really?

34:48

>> Mhm. Yeah. They're exogenous ketones. I

34:51

think the guy who just invented those

34:53

just died.

34:55

Um, he was also a guy that worked for

34:57

Balco Labs. He developed the the clear

35:00

that [ __ ] that Barry Bonds took.

35:02

>> Okay.

35:02

>> The steroids. So, this guy was a a

35:04

chemist. He was a scientist. I think

35:07

someone Oh, I think Chris Bell. Chris

35:10

Bell or Mark I think it was Mark Bell

35:12

just posted about it on his Instagram

35:14

page that this guy just died. This guy

35:16

was like one of America's great chemists

35:19

and he developed a lot of these things

35:20

including exogenous ketones according to

35:23

Mark.

35:24

But um that's one of the things that I

35:27

noticed when I went into when I did the

35:29

carnivore diet is that immediately

35:33

my brain just started functioning

35:34

better, which is what I try to eat most

35:36

of the time. Like this morning I ate um

35:39

sausage and eggs and sausage from an

35:42

animal that I shot. I like to do that. I

35:44

eat like I had Sable. This is the guy.

35:47

So this is Mark's Instagram. The

35:49

greatest chemist of our time and

35:50

possibly any other. Patrick Arnold is

35:52

dead. Patrick Arnold's the guy who made

35:54

the cream and the clear for the Bonds

35:56

and Maguire uh oh that Bonds and

36:00

Magguire bast blasted home runs off of

36:02

supposedly in addition to those

36:04

incredible inventions he also brought

36:07

exogenous ketones to the market. What

36:10

happened to that guy? How did he die?

36:12

>> That's an interesting picture to put up.

36:14

>> Yeah,

36:14

>> looks like Oswald looking at Jack Ruby.

36:18

>> He looks healthy. I want to know how he

36:20

died.

36:22

I wonder how old that picture was.

36:27

Organic chemist.

36:30

And Dion, too. Oh, he he had all those

36:33

uh pro what are what are those pro

36:35

hormones or whatever those things were

36:37

that people were taking that weren't

36:39

totally steroids, but they were kind of

36:41

steroid like.

36:43

How did he die? Does it say a weird

36:46

website, too?

36:49

Uh, he died at 60.

36:58

>> Maybe he's experimenting on himself.

37:01

Why don't you just just put in cause of

37:03

death?

37:06

>> I know. It should come up.

37:10

You would think a guy who's working on

37:12

like performance and fitness.

37:16

Does it say? No,

37:22

>> there's a Reddit post, but I don't know.

37:23

>> When you click on what happened Oh, to

37:26

David Arnold.

37:27

>> Somebody else.

37:27

>> Oh, Patrick Arnold.

37:29

>> Huh. So, it just doesn't say how he

37:31

died.

37:31

>> Nope. And it just happened. So, there's

37:33

not a lot about

37:34

>> Oh, okay. So, it hasn't been released

37:36

yet.

37:38

>> Yeah.

37:39

>> Doesn't say.

37:40

>> He made a lot of roids.

37:43

You got to wonder. the dude who's like

37:45

doing so much work in anabolic steroids.

37:48

He worked for Balco.

37:50

They were the ones that were making

37:51

undetectable steroids. Do you know about

37:53

that whole story?

37:54

>> This is back in the was it in the 90s,

37:56

Jamie?

37:57

>> The the Maguire

38:00

>> around 2000.

38:01

>> So, um they developed steroids that were

38:04

undetectable. So when they would test

38:07

for steroids, what they would do is they

38:08

would take because when I guess the way

38:10

it works is when they're doing a steroid

38:12

test, they're looking for very specific

38:14

molecules. So they invented a molecule

38:16

that had like additional things attached

38:18

to it where it wouldn't show up. And I'm

38:21

probably butchering that, but

38:23

essentially they were undetectable

38:24

steroids. One of them was called the

38:26

clear. And the guy who ran their lab was

38:29

called Balco Laboratories was this guy

38:30

Victor Ki who eventually went to jail

38:33

for that. And then when he I don't know

38:35

why he went to jail, but he got out and

38:37

then became an anti-stereroid

38:40

sort of activist and he was I don't want

38:43

to say activist, but he was essentially

38:45

he was ratting people out and saying

38:48

that this guy's probably doing steroids

38:50

and this is how he's doing it. And then

38:52

a lot of uh athletes were using his

38:54

company to use steroidfree

38:57

performance-enhancing supplements that

38:59

were legal. So he would show you what's

39:01

legal and how to do it. He knew a lot

39:02

about it because he did the illegal

39:04

stuff, too.

39:05

>> Interesting.

39:06

>> Yeah.

39:08

>> I've got I've gotten a couple steroid

39:10

shots like before a show like if my

39:12

voice goes out.

39:13

>> Like what kind? Is it like a cortisone

39:15

or

39:15

>> I guess that's what it is. It's like

39:17

that one that they shoot in your ass.

39:19

Cheek.

39:19

>> Hm. What does that do like for your

39:22

voice when your voice

39:23

>> goes just brings you back?

39:25

>> Man, it's got to be rough when a [ __ ]

39:27

singer loses their voice.

39:28

>> Yeah. I mean, people have asked me

39:31

before like what my warm-up routine is,

39:33

and like I've never had one. And I mean,

39:35

>> two cigarettes,

39:36

>> a couple cigarettes. It used to be shot

39:39

of whiskey. Um, if I was really in dire

39:42

straits, I would take uh like a handful

39:44

of sugar-free gummy bears and put uh

39:47

boiling water on that.

39:49

>> Really?

39:49

>> And then the gummy bears would like coat

39:51

my throat. Huh.

39:52

>> Like honey, ginger, lemon.

39:54

>> Yeah. Hot water and lemon is a really

39:56

good one. There's something about that

39:58

that eases

39:59

>> really. It's like time off is what [ __ ]

40:01

my voice up more than anything.

40:02

>> Time off.

40:03

>> Yeah.

40:03

>> Really? Oh, so like your vocal cords get

40:05

out of shape.

40:06

>> Mhm.

40:08

>> Interesting.

40:08

>> Cuz it's hard to like keep them up, you

40:11

know? Right.

40:11

>> Unless you're like going in your garage

40:13

and screaming for two hours a night, you

40:15

know?

40:15

>> That's crazy. I never thought about it

40:17

like that. Like your vocal cords are

40:19

essentially a muscle like any other and

40:20

they develop over time

40:22

>> and you get endurance.

40:25

>> That makes sense.

40:26

>> Yeah. So, like the pandemic was like the

40:28

first time that a lot of us like had any

40:31

extended amount of time off from the

40:34

road and we all started noticing like or

40:37

at least me like I came back like

40:39

hurting a little bit.

40:41

>> Oh, that makes sense. I saw Guns and

40:44

Roses in Athens, Greece

40:47

>> and uh Axel Rose, you know, has that

40:50

crazy singing style. Yeah. It's like a

40:53

like and that has to be [ __ ] hell on

40:56

your voice and you know the show was

40:58

amazing but his voice is not the same.

41:01

>> It's just there's no way it can be.

41:04

>> Um I know Stephen Tyler like he's back.

41:07

>> I is he?

41:08

>> Yeah.

41:08

>> So he he quit for a while cuz he was

41:11

like I can't sing and then he healed up

41:13

and now he's back again. I don't know

41:15

exactly what he did, but I I played with

41:18

him back in January and like the boys

41:20

really back.

41:22

>> No [ __ ] That's [ __ ] great.

41:24

>> Singing his ass off.

41:25

>> That's [ __ ] great. I love to hear

41:27

that.

41:28

>> Mhm.

41:28

>> I saw the Stones a couple years ago at

41:31

uh Circuit of the Americas and Mitch

41:33

Jagger can still whail.

41:35

>> Yeah,

41:36

>> he can still whail. That That was a

41:38

great [ __ ] show. Almost surreal.

41:40

>> He's got a lot of energy, too, man.

41:42

>> So much energy.

41:43

>> It's crazy. He has two trailer trucks

41:45

that he brings with them that are just

41:47

gym equipment.

41:48

>> Wow.

41:48

>> Everywhere they go. Two big ass trailer

41:51

trucks just filled with gym equipment.

41:53

They say he works out seven days a week.

41:55

>> That's awesome.

41:56

>> And he's 180,000 years old.

41:59

>> He's still up there. Still. And then

42:01

Keith Richards opposite approach.

42:03

Whiskey, cocaine, LSD, no problems.

42:06

Still there, too. So it's like

42:08

>> Yeah.

42:09

>> Find something you love and stick with

42:10

it.

42:11

>> I know. It's so funny. Like it makes me

42:15

think of like we went out with Willie a

42:17

few times and um Willy's got like like

42:21

most artists he's got like 18 tractor

42:24

trailers back there but like I don't

42:26

know if you've been to a Willie Nelson

42:27

show recently it's like there's nothing

42:28

on stage. I'm like what's in all these

42:31

[ __ ] trucks? I never really got to

42:32

the bottom of that but there's like

42:35

seven or eight truck drivers back there.

42:37

>> It's all weed.

42:39

>> It must be all weed or something. You go

42:41

in, there's all grow lights and plants

42:43

and [ __ ] And

42:44

>> he's got that drink that they sell.

42:47

>> Oh yeah.

42:47

>> He's got that weed drink.

42:49

>> Willy's remedy.

42:50

>> Yeah. And Ron White brought some to the

42:52

green room of the comedy mothership. And

42:54

someone was saying, "Oh, you can't get

42:56

that's not real." I'm like, "It's real

42:58

as [ __ ] dude. That stuff's very legit."

43:00

>> It's real.

43:01

>> Yeah, it's very I don't know what the

43:03

rules are, the laws are.

43:06

>> Seems like it's starting to become like

43:07

a gray area. It should be

43:11

I mean they just made it schedule three.

43:14

Okay. So what that means is and I mean

43:17

listen it's a great step in the right

43:19

direction. I'm very happy that the

43:20

president did that. It really should be

43:22

regulated the same way alcohol is. It

43:24

should be for adult use 21 and older.

43:27

>> It shouldn't be maybe I wonder what the

43:30

issue Well, I'm sure there's a bunch of

43:32

issues, right? There's like lobbies that

43:34

are trying to keep it illegal. Like

43:36

there's the alcohol lobby that doesn't

43:37

want it legal because it cuts down on

43:39

alcohol sales. And I know they lobby to

43:41

try to make sure those laws stay in

43:43

place. And then unfortunately you have

43:45

prison guard unions

43:48

that lobby for it, which is [ __ ]

43:50

right? They want to keep their job. And

43:52

so the way they keep their job is to

43:53

keep people locked up. And the way the

43:55

way they keep people locked up is keep

43:58

laws that don't make sense. Like

44:01

[ __ ] up. That's a that's an evil

44:04

[ __ ]

44:05

that it's it just doesn't make any

44:07

sense. If you can buy alcohol, you

44:10

should be able Like I'm not saying you

44:11

should drink alcohol. You don't drink

44:13

alcohol anymore. Like I said, I took

44:14

months off. It's like you should have

44:17

some self-control. And I know some

44:19

people don't. But get your [ __ ]

44:20

together. You should. But other people

44:22

are fine with alcohol. They go to the

44:24

bar, have a drink or two, go home, go

44:26

out to dinner, have a drink, go at home,

44:29

have a drink while they're watching TV,

44:31

and they're fine.

44:32

>> Yeah.

44:32

>> It should be a personal choice. No adult

44:34

should be able to tell you what you can

44:36

and can't do and be able to lock you up

44:38

in a [ __ ] cage if you don't listen.

44:41

That's nuts. And in a free country, in

44:43

this country is as free as it gets in

44:45

this world, there's no way weed should

44:48

be illegal. It should be regulated and

44:51

it should be only for people that are

44:53

adults where, you know, you have to be

44:55

21 to be able to buy it. It's Look, it's

44:58

never stopped kids from getting alcohol.

44:59

They they still get alcohol. It's not

45:01

stopping kids right now from getting

45:03

weed. they can still get weed. But if it

45:05

was legal and regulated, first of all,

45:07

we'd get taxes from it, and that would

45:09

be huge for every state. You'd get a ton

45:12

of tax money that you're not getting

45:13

right now. And also, you would keep

45:15

people from getting locked up for their

45:17

own personal choices, which is just

45:19

insane.

45:21

>> Yeah.

45:21

>> I mean, not a lot of people get locked

45:23

up for personal use these days. That's

45:25

pretty rare. But there's still there's

45:28

just way too many laws.

45:30

>> Yeah. I mean, it's interesting, too,

45:33

like if you have like

45:36

um like CBD flour, like technically

45:39

that's legal. Yes. So, like if you just

45:41

put some of your cannabis in a CBD

45:44

container, like

45:46

>> are there ways to like test that on the

45:47

side of the road? Like if you get pulled

45:49

and they search your car?

45:50

>> Not on the side of the road, but they

45:51

could confiscate it and then test it, I

45:53

think.

45:54

But there's weird things about like

45:57

legalization of I was watching a YouTube

45:58

video about what Texas's laws were. And

46:02

Texas's laws are the amount of THC by

46:06

volume.

46:07

So the thing about that is

46:11

if you get like gummies

46:13

>> like a a 10 milligram gummy will pass

46:16

that by volume and be legal. So, are you

46:19

saying that people can take 10 milligram

46:22

THC gummies and that's legal?

46:24

>> Yeah.

46:25

>> Because

46:26

>> they'll [ __ ] you up. Like a If you don't

46:29

smoke weed, a 10 milligram THC gummy

46:31

will have you going,

46:35

>> dude.

46:36

>> Take two of those and who knows what's

46:38

going to happen to you. I just watched

46:39

this movie that uh a friend of mine was

46:42

in this movie um Laney Wilson and we

46:45

watched the movie and I don't want to

46:48

spoil the movie for anybody, but it

46:50

turns out that the girl like she went to

46:53

jail cuz she was impaired while driving

46:56

and she was impaired by weed gummies.

46:58

And I was like that's kind of okay.

47:01

>> Well, depends on how much you took.

47:04

Yeah, but

47:05

>> if you take 200 milligrams to get behind

47:07

a wheel, you're not even exactly sure

47:08

what the road is.

47:09

>> 200 milligrams is a lot. Yeah.

47:10

>> Right. So, that's pretty impaired.

47:12

That's that's equivalent to like eight

47:13

shots of whiskey and then getting in

47:15

your truck,

47:16

>> right? You're impaired.

47:17

>> I guess you're right.

47:18

>> I don't think you should drive on weed.

47:20

I definitely don't think you should

47:21

drive [ __ ] up. But it's like the same

47:24

>> like I don't advocate drinking and

47:26

driving either. But if you have like one

47:28

drink and drive

47:31

>> like you're gonna feel like a little

47:34

relaxed and lubricated, but I don't know

47:37

how much you'll be. And it also varies

47:39

on who the person is. If the person is

47:41

used to drinking all the time, one drink

47:43

is not going to do a damn thing to them.

47:46

But for some people, one drink will make

47:48

you drive stupid. You'll do stupid

47:50

things.

47:51

>> Yeah. It's it's a it's all a personal

47:54

responsibility thing.

47:55

>> That's the bottom line about all of it.

47:58

And yeah, you shouldn't be out there

47:59

drinking and driving. You shouldn't be

48:00

out there eating 500 milligram edibles

48:02

and [ __ ] driving in a car. No. No.

48:05

>> I remember one time my drummer had this

48:07

like THC spray. Have you ever [ __ ]

48:10

with that?

48:10

>> Oh yeah. We had that back in California.

48:13

Like breath spray.

48:14

>> Yeah. And I was I was still drinking at

48:16

the time and me and my wife were both

48:18

just hammered and we were on this uh a

48:22

ferry like the tour bus goes on to the

48:24

ferry and the ferry carries you over

48:26

from um France to the UK and we were

48:29

like sitting in the lounge area on the

48:32

ferry or lounge area on the ferry rather

48:35

and um he had this spray and I was like

48:37

it's not doing anything.

48:40

>> Me and my wife both kept just spraying

48:41

it.

48:42

>> No. And um then I woke up in my bed just

48:45

like in a cartoon just like completely

48:49

removed from reality just and u yeah it

48:53

was it was a bad bad scene. I remember

48:55

one time I took a they had these THC

48:58

breath strips that they used to sell.

49:00

And the problem with these things, and

49:01

this is back uh in the pre-legalization

49:05

days of pre 2016 in California. And so

49:10

each store you would get weed at like

49:12

they would have medical stores. So you

49:15

could go to a doctor and say, "Hey doc,

49:16

I got a headache." And they go, "You

49:18

need medicine." and they would write

49:20

your prescription and then you can go

49:22

and like there's always reasons to to

49:24

have it just like there's reasons to

49:25

have Tylenol. Do you get a headache?

49:27

Yeah. Well, then you need it. Do you

49:29

have a backachche? Yeah. Well, then you

49:30

need it. So, you could get it pretty

49:32

easy. And um they had these breath

49:34

strips and I took one and I got on a

49:36

plane and I closed my eyes when I was

49:38

lying on the plane and I was watching

49:40

neon like cartoon characters that are

49:44

made out of neon light and they were

49:46

having sex. It was an orgy of And I was

49:49

just lying there with my eyes closed

49:51

watching these cartoon neon characters

49:53

[ __ ] And they they were [ __ ] in like

49:56

complete blackness, like void. So it was

49:59

just the colors of their weird bodies

50:01

just banging each other and then they

50:03

would shift shapes and another one would

50:05

pile on and they would I was like, "This

50:07

is crazy." It was very psychedelic. It

50:10

was almost like But when I'd opened my

50:11

eyes, the world was normal. Yeah. It

50:13

wasn't like I was the world was wiggling

50:15

and and I was just s I didn't have

50:17

anything to do. I was flying all the way

50:18

to New York. It was a six-hour flight.

50:20

By the time it landed, I had sobered up,

50:22

but I was like, "This is cra like how

50:24

much is in these [ __ ] things?" Cuz

50:26

it's they're not making them in the same

50:27

labs where they're making [ __ ]

50:28

Tylenol. Sure.

50:30

>> You know, I mean, it's some hippie, some

50:32

dude who's like pouring weed into a

50:34

machine and can't remember whether or

50:36

not he put weed in there cuz he's high

50:38

as [ __ ] so he adds double. They're very

50:40

inconsistent. It's like the micro doses

50:42

that I I used to get in Mon Georgia. I

50:45

was like, "Some of these are stronger

50:47

than other ones." And he's like, "Yeah."

50:50

So depending on the day, my boy Hubble's

50:53

like,

50:54

>> you know, he's going to ride it for

50:56

whatever it is.

50:57

>> Well, that's why we need legalization

50:59

regulation. That's the beautiful thing

51:00

about whiskey. You get a glass of

51:01

whiskey, you get a shot, you know

51:03

exactly what that shot's going to do.

51:05

>> The the shots of whiskey have been

51:07

having the same impact on human beings

51:09

for hundreds of [ __ ] years. You can

51:10

quantify it.

51:11

>> Yeah. And that's how it should be with

51:13

all these things. But the problem is

51:14

when they're outlawed, you know, some of

51:17

them are, you know, a glass of wine,

51:19

some of them are [ __ ] moonshine. Like

51:21

you you need regulation. And it's the

51:26

idea that there's laws against people's

51:28

personal choices. Just [ __ ] stupid,

51:31

man. There's plenty of laws that are

51:33

good. Don't murder people. Don't rob.

51:35

Don't rape. Don't do this. Don't do

51:36

that. That's great. Don't vandalize.

51:38

Great. Great laws. Makes sense. Better

51:40

society. Laws on personal choices,

51:44

especially things that you might enjoy,

51:45

like

51:46

>> having a joint with your wife, you know,

51:48

after dinner and just sitting there and

51:50

watching Netflix together. Like

51:52

>> the [ __ ] armed thugs can burst into

51:55

your house and take the joint away from

51:56

you. Like, who are we protecting? Who we

51:59

serving? Who we protecting and serving

52:01

with that? That's dumb.

52:03

>> Yeah.

52:03

>> It's just bad for society.

52:05

>> And it creates this business. Once a

52:09

business is established, the business of

52:11

enforcement, once that business is

52:13

established, that business doesn't want

52:14

to go away because now you have a bunch

52:15

of people whose jobs depend on enforcing

52:18

laws and enforcing these things that

52:20

don't make any sense. And they want to

52:21

protect that because that's their

52:23

livelihood. So now you got a quagmire.

52:25

Now you're in a [ __ ] terrible

52:26

situation that is no easy way out other

52:29

than ripping the band-aid off and making

52:31

it legal. You're also propping up the

52:33

cartels. That's the other problem with

52:35

it being completely illegal in this

52:37

country. federally is like, well, guess

52:40

what? It's there's still a demand for

52:42

it. So, legal companies that actually

52:44

employ people and give the the employees

52:47

health care and, you know, have rules

52:49

and regulations. No, they're not making

52:52

it. So, they're not growing it. So,

52:53

instead, you have [ __ ] cartels that

52:56

are growing it in California on public

52:58

land because if you get caught, it's

53:00

just a misdemeanor cuz it's legal in

53:02

California. So literally, I think it's

53:06

more than 80% of all the le the weed

53:09

that's sold in the United States that's

53:11

illegal is grown in California on public

53:14

lands by the cartel. And they use toxic

53:17

pesticides and herbicides. They they use

53:20

all kinds of [ __ ] that you're not

53:21

allowed to use in in normal farming,

53:24

>> right?

53:24

>> And you know, the only reason why it

53:26

exists is because we've made these

53:28

stupid [ __ ] laws.

53:30

So now that it's schedule three, it's in

53:33

the same category as like Tylenol with

53:36

codine,

53:37

>> which is not bad. It's better certainly

53:39

better than schedule one, which is

53:41

ridiculous. So now hopefully once they

53:45

do more testing and more studies, they

53:48

can get to a point where federally it's

53:50

legal and regulated. That would be the

53:53

best case for everybody. just in the

53:55

same category as alcohol. Get all that

53:58

tax money from it and then don't make

54:00

criminals out of American citizens that

54:02

just want to make personal choices. This

55:03

>> When did it um when did it get scheduled

55:05

as uh schedule one?

55:07

>> Well, the whole schedule one thing, this

55:09

is this is what I talked about when I

55:11

went to the White House recently, which

55:13

is a hilarious thing to say for a [ __ ]

55:15

like me.

55:19

that I helped get things scheduled. I

55:21

mean, when it all goes down in the

55:22

history books and they they attach my

55:24

name to this, it's going to be really

55:26

confusing. They're going to be like,

55:28

"Fucking that guy. What? How? What the

55:31

[ __ ] happened?" So, when in 1970, the

55:35

Richard Nixon administration passed the

55:37

Controlled Substances Act, and it made

55:41

uh DMT, psilocybin, LSD, all these

55:46

different things. It made them schedule

55:48

one. So that they the idea is that there

55:51

was no benefit including Ibagame which

55:53

is crazy. Uh which has means it has no

55:56

medical benefit and uh harmful and

56:00

addictive all these different qualities

56:01

that they attach to it. But the only

56:03

reason they did that was to target the

56:05

civil rights movement. The civil rights

56:07

movement and the anti-war movement.

56:08

That's what they were doing. They didn't

56:10

like the fact that these people were

56:11

causing trouble and then they were

56:13

organizing, you know, marches and doing

56:15

all these different things that were

56:16

disrupting the government. And there was

56:19

also this movement where people like,

56:21

why are we living the way we're living?

56:23

Like this was the ' 60s. Like, why are

56:24

we doing what we're doing? Like, well, I

56:26

don't want to be like my parents.

56:27

They're not happy, you know? I want to

56:29

live a life that's like freer. I want to

56:31

be filled with love and joy and I want

56:33

to, you know, have a good time and

56:34

follow the grateful debt around. Like so

56:36

a lot of people in government were very

56:39

concerned with this new movement and if

56:42

you go and like music is a great

56:45

example. Like if you look at the music

56:46

of the 1950s and then you look at the

56:48

music of the 1960s like what the [ __ ]

56:51

happened? Y

56:52

>> like if you look at the music of 2016

56:55

and the music of 2026 not much

56:58

difference.

56:58

>> Right.

56:59

>> Right. It's all great. So, but it's like

57:01

it's not there's not some revolutionary

57:04

crazy new change,

57:05

>> but you saw that from 1959 to 1969.

57:09

There is a radical difference. A radical

57:12

difference. 1950 you got like you go

57:14

from Buddy Holly to Jimmyi Hendris.

57:18

You're like, "Okay, what the [ __ ]

57:19

happened? Something crazy must have

57:21

happened." And it's drugs. It's

57:23

psychedelic drugs.

57:24

>> It's like the stone ape theory

57:26

>> in, you know, our modern society.

57:29

>> Exactly. To see it. Exactly. And this

57:31

terrified the administration and they

57:34

were really worried that they were going

57:35

to completely lose control of the

57:37

country. And so they passed this

57:41

controlled substances act. And that

57:44

happened in 1970. And from that time on

57:48

we've been [ __ ] You know, for 56

57:51

[ __ ] years we've been under the grip

57:53

of this stupid [ __ ] law that was

57:56

passed by the Nixon administration. It

57:58

didn't make any sense. Some of the drugs

58:00

that they added to aren't even

58:01

psychoactive.

58:03

They just threw a bunch of stuff in

58:04

there and they missed a bunch of potent

58:06

ones.

58:06

>> Yeah,

58:07

>> they missed five methoxy DMT. They

58:10

missed 5 MO DMT, which is one of the

58:12

most potent psychedelics, if not the

58:13

most potent psychedelic. You used to be

58:15

able to buy that online.

58:17

>> Oh wow,

58:18

>> dude. There was a company that you could

58:20

order from and they would send you a a

58:22

[ __ ] jug of it as big as this. Now,

58:25

the amount that gets you blasted into

58:28

the center of the universe and

58:29

introduces you to God is like the si

58:32

It's like the size that goes on your

58:34

pinky. Yeah. Like your pinky nail. Like

58:36

that amount. You smoke that, you'll see

58:38

God.

58:38

>> Wow.

58:39

>> And you could just buy a [ __ ] jar of

58:42

it online. There was a company called

58:44

the American Chemical Company. American

58:47

Chemical Company or American Chemical

58:49

Corporation. And you used to be able to

58:51

just buy five mythoxy DMT and they would

58:54

just send it to you like a jar of

58:55

vitamins.

58:56

>> Wow.

58:58

>> And then you could go to head shops and

58:59

buy salvia.

59:01

>> Oh yeah.

59:02

>> So salvia is a [ __ ] insanely po

59:05

potent psychedelic, which by the way is

59:08

also sage. Like sage is the same family,

59:12

the same genus as salvia.

59:15

>> So like think about it. Sage, meaning

59:17

wise, like like an old sage. Yeah. And

59:20

meanwhile, that is one of the most

59:22

potent psychedelics in the world. And

59:24

so, kids were going to head shops and

59:27

buying salvia. I don't know if they've

59:29

made that illegal now. They probably

59:30

have, right? Is salvia illegal now?

59:34

>> I think uh

59:38

I don't know.

59:39

>> So, Ari Shafir on Brian Redband's

59:42

podcast. Do you know this story?

59:43

>> No.

59:44

>> Okay. Ari Shafir went on Brian Redband's

59:47

podcast and took a giant hit of Salvia

59:50

and went under for like 10 minutes. And

59:52

when he came back, he said that he had

59:55

lived six months under the water with B

59:59

like with a

60:01

entire different community of human

60:03

beings under the water. Had

60:05

relationships, had a job, like had a

60:08

six-month experience and then came back

60:10

in that 10 minutes. And he was so

60:13

confused. He was so baffled. He's like,

60:15

"I had a life under there. I had a

60:17

girlfriend. I had friends." He goes, "I

60:19

had all these experiences."

60:21

>> No [ __ ]

60:22

>> Yeah.

60:23

>> Ari's crazy, man.

60:24

>> He's crazy. He's fun.

60:25

>> He came out to my show in New York.

60:28

>> He's the man.

60:29

>> He is the man.

60:30

>> Um,

60:31

>> but I mean, that's that's how potent

60:34

this [ __ ] Salvia stuff is. By the

60:36

way, a lady had a very similar

60:37

experience recently who uh went into a

60:41

coma. So, she was in a coma for an

60:44

extended period of time. I want to say

60:46

it was like a few months. And when she

60:49

came out, she had a whole life that she

60:52

said she had triplets and she had like

60:56

she was married, all these different

60:57

things. Here, here's a story. Uh she

61:00

asked for her triplets after waking up

61:02

from a coma. Doctors say they never

61:04

existed. When she woke from a coma,

61:05

first thing she did was ask for her

61:07

three daughters. Medical staff was

61:09

stunned. The response shattered her

61:11

entire world. Just like that, the

61:13

children she had nursed, watched grow,

61:15

and deeply cared for over seven years

61:17

were gone. So, she was placed in a

61:20

medicallyinduced coma for 3 weeks. And

61:23

what followed was a dream of a lifetime

61:25

quite literally. She was obviously not

61:27

aware that she was in a coma. Instead,

61:28

she slipped into a dream and a lifetime

61:31

unfolded before her eyes. Talking to the

61:33

outlet, the teen recalled having

61:35

extremely intense dreams and nightmares.

61:37

She was not aware that she was in a coma

61:38

at the time. So those dreams became her

61:41

reality.

61:42

So she became a mother. She said it felt

61:44

so real. She felt the physical and

61:46

emotional pain throughout the

61:48

hallucination. I could feel so many

61:50

things when I dreamed about giving

61:51

birth. I felt the stress. I also felt a

61:54

lot of pain in this dream. I gave birth

61:56

to triplets who I named Mila Miles and

61:59

Miley. Miley died shortly after birth. I

62:02

felt so awful, overwhelmed with sadness

62:05

and guilt. She recalled. She remembers

62:07

the first skin-to-skin contact that she

62:09

had with her babies. It was incredible.

62:11

I felt an overwhelming wave of love, she

62:14

added. In her dream, she lived for seven

62:16

years and watched her daughters grow up.

62:19

Each had their own personalities. One

62:20

was quite shy. The other was a bundle of

62:22

energy. I remember walks, meals we

62:25

shared, and bedtime stories. She loved

62:28

them with all her heart. And then she

62:30

woke up from the coma and was told that

62:32

her children never existed. That's when

62:34

they told me they didn't exist. I was in

62:36

shock. I was so convinced that it was

62:38

real that the time I saw my parents

62:40

again, I told them they were

62:41

grandparents.

62:43

>> Wow.

62:43

>> Whoa.

62:45

>> Man,

62:46

>> it makes you like wonder like what is

62:49

reality? What is this thing that we're

62:52

currently experiencing?

62:53

>> Yeah.

62:53

>> And we're currently experiencing this

62:56

thing, but what what is this?

62:59

>> Is this everything? Is this the whole

63:01

thing? Or is this like one channel on an

63:04

infinite radio and just while we're on

63:07

that channel, we think this is the

63:09

radio,

63:10

>> right?

63:10

>> Well, maybe there's maybe when you go to

63:13

sleep, maybe that's just as real as

63:16

being awake.

63:19

>> It's a heavy thought.

63:20

>> But the idea that you just shut off

63:21

every night as bananas.

63:23

>> Yeah,

63:24

>> we look forward to it. Oh, can't wait to

63:26

just go away.

63:27

>> Go away for a few hours.

63:29

>> Can't wait to not exist. And if you

63:30

don't like if I don't get enough sleep,

63:33

I'm like whatever whatever happens

63:37

during the the dream time, the sleep

63:39

time, the recovery, I feel it. I I've my

63:42

waking life like I haven't done what I'm

63:45

supposed to do by sleeping for an

63:48

extended period of time. So my this

63:50

reality is compromised. This reality I'm

63:53

dumber, my memory sucks. I'm more tired.

63:55

I don't have any energy. I can't wait to

63:57

go to sleep. Can't wait to shut off so I

63:59

could pay back the void.

64:01

>> Pay back the void. The time I owe

64:03

>> into the dreamland of bizarre dreams.

64:07

>> Yeah. And just the symbolism of dreams,

64:10

too. I've been having a lot of crazy

64:12

dreams lately.

64:13

>> Like what?

64:14

>> I dream about snakes a lot, which is a

64:16

good

64:16

>> snakes.

64:17

>> It's a good sign.

64:18

>> Is it?

64:18

>> Yeah. Dreaming about snakes evidently

64:21

just represents like shedding your skin,

64:24

going into something new, you know,

64:26

growing.

64:27

>> Or you're surrounded by people who want

64:29

to get you.

64:29

>> Or maybe that.

64:31

>> Yeah.

64:31

>> Whichakes both both can be true.

64:35

You know, the music business.

64:38

Yeah.

64:39

>> A lot of snakes.

64:41

>> Isn't it every business though?

64:43

>> Yeah. I mean just the idea like the

64:45

business side is just so in contrast to

64:51

like the artistic sensibility,

64:53

>> you know, an artist is supposed to be

64:56

>> not supposed to be but just like

64:58

psychological or makeup is more just

65:00

like open and just more just like giving

65:03

and wanting to share your craft with

65:05

somebody and more emotional, you know?

65:07

>> Yeah. Um, and then having to be like a

65:10

shark and having to think like these

65:15

snakes

65:15

>> contracts.

65:16

>> Yeah.

65:19

>> Sign the D line, Marcus.

65:23

>> You're going to make so much money,

65:25

65:39

>> Yeah,

65:39

>> you'll have other songs in the future,

65:41

>> right?

65:42

>> That will be even better.

65:44

>> Bet on yourself, Marcus.

65:46

>> Take the money. Don't you want a big

65:48

house?

65:50

>> Don't you want a fancy car?

65:53

You need a Rolex.

65:56

>> Have you ever seen Late Night with the

65:58

Devil?

65:58

>> Uh, yes.

66:00

>> Yeah, that's the talk show.

66:02

>> Yeah.

66:02

>> Yeah, that is great, man. Who made that?

66:06

Uh, that's a good question. We

66:08

>> That's a really good movie, man.

66:09

>> We watched it on the bus one night. I

66:11

was like, whoa.

66:12

>> That was like 2019 or something.

66:14

>> It was heavy.

66:16

>> Yeah, this was Oh, 2024. Oh, it's an

66:19

Australian movie. Uh, Jack Delroy, the

66:29

Halloween special. However, the

66:30

broadcast takes a dark turn, unleashing

66:32

evil into the nation's living rooms.

66:35

Yeah, it's a dope movie. It was really

66:37

fun.

66:37

>> It was good.

66:37

>> It's [ __ ] scary as [ __ ] too.

66:39

>> It was scary.

66:39

>> Yeah, it was good. Bro, you know what's

66:41

[ __ ] scary as [ __ ] and really good

66:44

that I just found out about from my

66:47

daughter. There's a a new show called

66:49

Well, it's not even new. It's like four

66:51

seasons. It's called From

66:54

>> From Yeah.

66:55

>> What's it on? Is it on like uh

66:57

>> It's on Apple TV. I don't know if it's

66:58

an Apple show, but it's on Apple TV.

67:03

It's with the dude from Lost,

67:05

>> one of the dads from Lost.

67:06

>> Harold Perinu

67:09

also from

67:11

>> He's been in a lot of things. He's

67:13

great. And the show is [ __ ]

67:16

terrifying. It It is It's very original

67:19

and very weird.

67:22

Um, so it came out in 2022. Interesting.

67:25

>> First season premiered on Epics.

67:27

>> Oh, okay. What's it on now? Is it just

67:30

on Apple TV?

67:35

release epics MGM Plus.

67:39

Yeah.

67:40

>> So, it says in 2018 YouTube Red,

67:43

remember we were talking about YouTube

67:44

Red,

67:45

>> Canada I on Paramount Plus, India's on

67:48

Amazon Prime.

67:49

>> Oh, it was on all over the place.

67:51

>> Huh?

67:52

>> Where MGM Plus is?

67:53

>> So, it appeared on Epics. I don't even

67:56

know what MGM Plus is. Maybe that's just

67:59

the company. That's the production

68:00

company. So, in 2026, they renewed the

68:03

series for a fifth and final season.

68:06

It's [ __ ] good, man. It's good. And

68:09

it's really scary. It's really scary and

68:12

[ __ ] creepy and horrific. It's about

68:15

these people that um are stuck in this

68:20

town that doesn't make any sense. Like,

68:23

the town doesn't make any sense. And you

68:25

can't get out of the town. And at

68:28

nighttime, people come out of the woods.

68:31

They're not people. And they're like

68:34

these monsters. And if you let them into

68:35

your house, you can't let them into your

68:37

house, but if you let them into your

68:38

house, they they butcher you and tear

68:39

you apart. And people they try to trick

68:42

you into letting you letting them into

68:45

your house. Like, I'm not doing it

68:46

justice. It's like, it sounds stupid,

68:49

but

68:51

>> here here's the pitch,

68:52

>> but it's it's really scary, man. It's

68:55

really scary and really creepy to the

68:57

point like I'm watching I get anxiety

68:59

and I don't like watching [ __ ] like that

69:00

before I go to bed. Yeah. Because then I

69:02

get like weird dreams and I start

69:04

getting because it's like children are

69:05

in trouble in it and I'm a father and

69:07

when I see children in trouble I get I

69:09

[ __ ] freak out,

69:11

>> you know? There's part of you like the

69:12

sheep dog in you just like

69:14

>> Right.

69:14

>> So it's it's a good show though.

69:16

>> My wife gets on to me. I like it's like

69:19

forensic files puts me out. I love it.

69:23

You like that before you go to bed?

69:25

>> I don't know why.

69:26

>> That's crazy.

69:26

>> That's my comfort.

69:28

>> How people murdered people.

69:29

>> Yeah.

69:30

>> I remember that uh show on HBO, the

69:32

autopsy show. That was like one of the

69:34

first ones.

69:35

>> Okay.

69:35

>> Do you know that show?

69:36

>> The autopsy one.

69:37

>> It was this guy Dr. Michael Baden. And

69:40

what he was was a forensic scientist

69:42

that would catch people that had

69:44

murdered people and got away with it.

69:46

They would exume bodies and find things.

69:48

And it was all these different cases of

69:52

where someone had gotten away with

69:54

murder, but then they discovered how

69:56

they did it. It was very, very

69:58

interesting.

69:59

>> Wow.

69:59

>> Cuz people are [ __ ] weird, man. Like,

70:02

you know, a lot of like wives poisoning

70:04

their husbands, like multiple husbands

70:06

died of similar ways and

70:09

>> Yep.

70:10

>> nurses that poison their the people

70:12

under their care.

70:14

>> There's some [ __ ] up people out there.

70:16

There's some [ __ ] up people out there,

70:18

man. And the crazy thing is they get

70:21

away with it. That's the crazy thing is

70:24

for every one that Michael Baden

70:25

catches, how many of them get away with

70:27

it?

70:28

>> Yep.

70:29

>> Like what percentages of murders in

70:32

America go unsolved? Let's put this into

70:34

perplexity.

70:37

>> Are AI sponsor and find out what the

70:39

What do you think it is? What percentage

70:41

of murders go unsolved in America? Uh,

70:45

that's a good question. I mean,

70:46

>> take a guess.

70:49

>> 50 60%.

70:50

>> Whoa.

70:51

>> But I I don't I don't know how you would

70:53

quantified. I guess you'd find out.

70:55

>> Well, someone gets murdered and they

70:57

don't catch anybody.

70:58

>> Oh, right. Right. Okay.

71:00

>> Yeah.

71:01

>> Yeah. It's half.

71:03

>> Wow.

71:04

So, you're saying there's a chance?

71:07

>> So, you're saying there's a chance?

71:09

>> Approximately 40 to 50% of murders in

71:11

the United States go unsolved. means

71:13

that roughly half of all homicide cases

71:15

do not result in arrest or resolution.

71:18

So, uh I was talking to somebody and um

71:23

someone who lives in their community got

71:26

arrested because the wife went missing

71:29

and uh they got the wife's DNA from this

71:34

guy's chainsaw. They have no body. They

71:38

have no evidence other than there's some

71:40

DNA on his chainsaw and you know he's

71:44

playing stupid so he's in jail now but

71:46

everybody that knows him and like like

71:49

these these friends of mine they know

71:52

the family. They knew him. They knew

71:53

her. Oh

71:54

>> [ __ ]

71:54

>> And he's just in jail and they don't

71:58

know if they have enough evidence to

72:00

convict him. And so he's been in jail

72:02

for a while now and they're trying to

72:03

gather enough evidence for trial, but

72:05

all they have is like DNA. I don't even

72:08

know what that means. Like how much DNA?

72:10

Like did he clean the chainsaw and not

72:12

do a good job? I don't know what that

72:14

means.

72:15

>> But was she like out like trimming

72:17

hedges?

72:19

>> Who knows? That's the thing. It's like

72:21

you could use a chainsaw and

72:23

accidentally scratch yourself. Like you

72:26

don't even have to cut yourself. It

72:27

doesn't even have to be on. Like if

72:28

you're move, if you're, you know, taking

72:31

a chain, I don't know why the wife would

72:33

be taking a chainsaw out into the I

72:35

mean, some women are capable and they do

72:37

it, but

72:37

>> my wife, you know, she accidentally

72:40

scraped your arm with this chainsaw and

72:43

they went over every blade with a swab.

72:47

They probably could find your DNA and

72:48

go, "Oh my god, you did it."

72:50

>> Y

72:51

>> I don't know. I don't know what

72:52

happened, but apparently these people

72:55

that I know believe that the husband

72:58

chop this lady up.

72:59

>> Oh, really?

73:00

>> Yeah. They think he did it. They're

73:02

fighting a lot. And

73:05

>> I remember when I was a kid, my sister

73:07

used to and like Shane's actually got a

73:10

really funny bit about how diabolical

73:12

older sisters are. And just my sister

73:15

used to say, "I hope you go to jail for

73:17

something you didn't do."

73:18

>> Whoa.

73:18

>> I hope you get wrongfully convicted for

73:20

something and you're in jail forever.

73:22

>> That's so a terrible thing to say to

73:24

somebody. What did you do to her to make

73:27

her say that to you?

73:28

>> Who [ __ ] knows?

73:31

>> That's so dark.

73:32

>> I hope you go to jail for something you

73:34

didn't do was so evil.

73:37

>> Wow.

73:37

>> We're very close now.

73:39

>> Are you?

73:39

>> Oh, yeah.

73:40

>> Well, she was a kid.

73:41

>> She We were kids.

73:42

>> How old was she when she did that? When

73:43

she said that.

73:44

>> She's two years older than me, so she

73:45

must have been like nine or 10.

73:47

>> Oh,

73:48

>> but

73:48

>> people say things

73:49

>> kids stuff

73:50

>> at nine or 10. They're just being kids.

73:53

>> Yep. That's a diabolical mind though.

73:55

Like that's how you want someone to

73:56

suffer. You want someone to emotionally

73:58

suffer for something they didn't do

73:59

forever.

74:00

>> Her her and a neighbor boy, there was a

74:03

vacant house across from mine and they

74:05

like locked me in the back fence and my

74:07

sister was like, "This is where you live

74:09

now."

74:10

>> Like they were like, "Unless you break

74:12

that window."

74:13

>> And I was like, "I don't want to break

74:14

the window." And like sure enough, like

74:17

they said, "Well, we're not letting you

74:18

out of this gate." And like I probably

74:20

could have waited it out, but I was like

74:21

five or six. So, I just said, "All

74:24

right." So, I took a brick to the window

74:25

and they're like, "Well, we're going to

74:26

go tell on you now." I was like,

74:28

>> "Wow,

74:30

>> really [ __ ] up.

74:31

>> What the [ __ ] does she do now?"

74:33

>> Uh, my sister's actually she's a badass,

74:35

man. She's uh she drives for the

74:36

Department of Transportation. Um, she's

74:40

got her CDL. She's a horse.

74:43

>> Sounds uh like she has some devious

74:45

thoughts in her mind.

74:46

>> She's Yeah.

74:47

>> Sounds like she should write books.

74:49

>> I know. She's so smart. That sounds very

74:51

creative. Yeah. You know, like she's

74:53

manipulating a 5-year-old into breaking

74:56

window so she could tell on them.

74:57

>> But as a seven-year-old, you

74:59

>> know, she's she's awesome. But u

75:03

actually I had a good friend I told that

75:04

story to and she loved it so much she

75:06

got me a a welcome map from my house

75:08

that said, "This is where you live now."

75:15

>> That's [ __ ] up, man. Where did she

75:17

learn that kind of behavior? Probably my

75:19

mom.

75:20

>> Oh, was your mom like that?

75:21

>> My mom was pretty wild. Yeah.

75:24

>> Yeah.

75:27

>> Yeah.

75:28

I had an interesting upbringing.

75:30

>> Most artists do,

75:34

especially most interesting artists. I

75:37

don't know a lot of interesting artists

75:38

that say like my childhood was perfect.

75:41

It was amazing. There was so much love

75:43

and everybody was really supportive and

75:44

understanding and

75:45

>> yeah,

75:45

>> we talked a lot about stuff and

75:47

>> yep spoke about our feelings mostly

75:49

around the dinner table.

75:50

>> There's there's always some sort of

75:52

element of psychological torture

75:53

involved

75:56

>> or some kind of abandonment or some kind

75:58

of

75:59

>> something

76:00

>> touchy uncle whatever it is.

76:02

>> Yep. Something ignoring you.

76:04

>> Yeah. Just not making you a priority,

76:07

making you not feel special or making

76:09

you feel like you're a burden. something

76:11

something that causes you to like want

76:14

exorbitant amounts of attention from

76:15

strangers.

76:16

>> Sure.

76:17

>> Yeah.

76:17

>> Yeah.

76:18

>> But look, that's where the great stuff

76:21

comes from, which is really wild. Like

76:24

there's this concept that you cannot

76:26

have good without evil.

76:28

>> And I think there's something to that. I

76:31

think it's just part of the human

76:33

condition. For whatever reason, you you

76:37

don't appreciate good unless you you

76:40

experience bad, which is why rich kids

76:42

are [ __ ] You grow up rich with

76:45

everything you've ever wanted. There's

76:46

no struggle. It's so difficult for those

76:48

people to ever be exceptional

76:50

>> because they don't have the motivation.

76:52

They don't have that. They haven't

76:54

experienced the bad. Not in that way.

76:57

>> Like I remember I went on a hunting trip

77:00

with uh my friend uh Steve Reanella and

77:02

Brian Ken. We went to Alaska and it

77:05

rained every day. It rained for like six

77:07

days in a row. We were soaking wet and

77:09

we came back to LA and uh it was sunny

77:14

and I was driving my car and I had to

77:16

call my friend Steve and I said, "Dude,

77:17

I have never been happier. The sun hits

77:20

my face. I'm so appreciative. I'm so h"

77:24

And I've never felt like this. Like it's

77:25

always like this in LA. Yeah.

77:27

>> But it never meant anything to me. It

77:29

was just, "Yep, another day in LA. Got

77:31

to go to work." But this one day I was

77:33

like just filled with gratitude and I

77:37

was so happy. The sun on my face felt so

77:41

good and warm and and I realized like,

77:44

oh, you have to suffer in order to

77:46

really appreciate the good. Like if it's

77:49

just all good, you're you're not going

77:51

to appreciate it. You don't you need

77:54

evil people so that you really

77:56

appreciate the people that are beautiful

77:58

and that you love,

77:59

>> right? You need people that suck so you

78:02

appreciate people that are kind.

78:03

>> Yeah.

78:04

>> You know, you need people that are mean,

78:06

so you appreciate the ones that are

78:07

nice.

78:08

>> Yeah. Just people that are on the level,

78:10

just people that are

78:12

>> like no agenda, just just kind people.

78:16

And it is that duality that kind of

78:18

gives you perspective.

78:19

>> That's what I meditate on every day is

78:21

perspective.

78:22

>> That's why I wonder about the music

78:25

business and then even the comedy

78:27

business. I think kind of any business.

78:28

I'm sure it's the same with the music uh

78:30

mo rather uh movie making business as

78:32

well. It's like you almost need these

78:35

rotten vampire [ __ ] that are you know

78:38

what I mean? It's like so

78:39

>> not a punk band

78:42

>> but so that like when you see fellow

78:46

musicians that you love like you give

78:48

them a hug like you embrace each other

78:49

like oh we're cool like you know what I

78:51

mean? It's like we're together now it's

78:52

all right. We're okay. It's

78:54

>> trauma bonding.

78:54

>> Yeah. We're away from the [ __ ] Yeah,

78:57

>> we're away from the vampire [ __ ]

78:58

>> It's like my boy Charlie Crockett, you

79:01

know, um Charlie always says like you

79:04

can do what they do, but they can't do

79:05

what you do.

79:07

>> Charlie's great.

79:08

>> He's the [ __ ] man.

79:09

>> He's an interesting dude, too. Very

79:11

interesting dude. Very, you interesting

79:14

life. Like the life that that guy had

79:16

and

79:16

>> playing street music for so long, then

79:19

finally getting discovered.

79:21

>> Very like again, but that's how you get

79:23

a person like that. when you talked

79:25

about his childhood, how [ __ ] up it

79:27

was and crazy. He was basically just on

79:29

his own from the time he was a teenager,

79:32

>> just

79:34

running around just singing songs.

79:36

>> Yep.

79:37

>> You know, like that's how you get a

79:40

person like that.

79:42

>> Yeah. You can't create a Charlie

79:43

Crockett in a lab.

79:44

>> No. Or a jelly roll. You don't you don't

79:46

create those in a lab. They got to go to

79:48

jail first. You know what I mean?

79:52

Yeah, but it's like I mean Jell's like

79:55

one of the most beautiful people I've

79:56

ever met in my life. He's the one of the

79:58

nicest, sweetest, kindest, warm,

80:01

affectionate people. Every he hugs

80:03

everybody, tells everybody he loves him

80:04

and he means it and cuz he's been

80:08

through hell, you know, and that's

80:09

that's how you make a person like that.

80:12

>> Jill's in like a constant state of like

80:16

like when you run into somebody after

80:17

they've had an Iwasa experience.

80:19

>> Mhm. It's like

80:21

>> he has this constant

80:23

>> like gratitude.

80:24

>> Yes.

80:25

>> That I feel like kind of fades even with

80:27

people who have like Iaska journeys or

80:30

experiences.

80:31

>> Yeah.

80:31

>> You know, he's just I don't know there's

80:34

something really pure to that.

80:37

>> Yeah. He's maintained it and especially

80:39

now that he's on this like health

80:40

journey. I think that sometimes the

80:43

momentum of life takes over and you kind

80:46

of forget

80:48

those beautiful moments. you you're

80:50

grounded in these moments where you

80:51

realize like, God, I'm so lucky to have

80:53

a beautiful family that I love and

80:56

friends that I love and be able to do

80:57

what I do for a living. God, I'm so

80:59

lucky. And that feeling like sometimes

81:01

it goes away cuz you're dealing with

81:03

this and that and contracts and [ __ ]

81:06

then New York Times wrote a hit piece on

81:08

you. Oh [ __ ] And you forget. You just

81:11

you you lose your perspective. But I

81:13

almost feel like you need all those

81:16

other shitty elements to just reinforce

81:20

the good elements that there's this

81:22

constant sort of mechanism that's going

81:25

on where there's this constant process

81:27

of pros and cons of negatives and

81:30

positives and they're duking it out to

81:33

see who rises. And the the more the

81:35

negative comes at you, the more it has

81:37

this creative desire inside of you to

81:42

excel with your music or your art or

81:44

whatever it is that you do to just push

81:46

past it.

81:47

>> Mhm.

81:48

>> I mean, think about some of the great

81:49

songs that people have written just

81:52

about the struggles that they've gone

81:54

through just even in the music business,

81:56

you know?

81:56

>> Yeah. like Leonard Skinner working for

81:58

MCA, you know, there's a lot of those

82:00

songs like that where it's just like

82:02

people just want to tell you what the

82:05

[ __ ] they've been through.

82:06

>> Yeah. Uh Leashik uh Freak Out, you know.

82:11

>> What's that about?

82:12

>> They weren't uh like they weren't

82:14

allowed to get into Studio 54. They

82:16

wouldn't let him in. And the song was

82:18

originally written as [ __ ] you. You

82:21

know,

82:24

[ __ ] you.

82:25

>> Oh, really?

82:25

>> Yeah. They went

82:26

>> instead it's freak out.

82:27

>> Yeah. And that ended up being a major

82:30

hit, you know,

82:31

>> that was because they couldn't get into

82:32

a club.

82:33

>> Yeah.

82:33

>> That's pretty crazy.

82:34

>> Pretty crazy.

82:35

>> Yeah.

82:36

>> Yep.

82:38

>> But it is just about threading that

82:41

needle of like wanting more for

82:44

yourself, but for the right reasons. And

82:46

that's something that I think about

82:47

every day is just like having a a

82:50

virtuous reason to want more, you know,

82:53

not just for the sake of having it or

82:55

for hoarding wealth or anything like

82:56

that. It's like I want to work to where

83:00

I can get to a place where,

83:02

>> you know, my wife and I can have our own

83:04

bus and raise kids on the road, you

83:06

know, but you can't do that unless you

83:07

have a certain profit margin on the

83:09

road, you know. So, I'm always kind of

83:12

trying to think of like virtuous causes

83:14

to want more, you know, because in

83:16

reality, you know, I should be grateful

83:17

for everything that I do have,

83:19

>> but also speaking to that, you know, and

83:22

trying to meditate on the things that

83:24

I'm grateful for every day.

83:27

>> That's a good perspective. I think

83:29

people get trapped in working towards a

83:32

result

83:33

>> instead of thinking about the process,

83:37

>> right?

83:37

>> I try to be processoriented. I try to

83:40

like think about whatever I'm doing,

83:42

just try to be better at it and do a

83:44

better job at it. And I think the other

83:46

stuff sort of takes care of itself.

83:48

>> Yeah.

83:49

>> If you have the right people and that's

83:51

where the evil [ __ ] vampires come in

83:54

>> because they'll steal all that goodwill.

83:57

Like if you leave the door open like on

83:59

that TV show

84:00

>> on from you let them in.

84:02

>> Yep.

84:03

>> They'll [ __ ] tear you apart.

84:04

>> They'll tear you up.

84:06

>> Yeah.

84:07

just and it's hard because you don't

84:09

want to become jaded. Yeah. You don't

84:11

want to become like

84:14

I feel like I meet a lot of people out

84:15

there who

84:17

>> like like they're open and they're kind

84:18

but they they're not interested in

84:20

making any new friends, you know? It's

84:22

like they have their circle.

84:23

>> And on one hand, I kind of understand

84:25

that. I get that, you know, but

84:28

>> it it's it's hard, you know. You got to

84:31

maintain a certain level of perspective

84:33

not to become like angry and

84:36

>> Yeah.

84:36

>> Yeah.

84:38

>> Yeah. It's hard. And it's hard to know

84:40

who you can let into your circle, too.

84:42

Like you got to give people a stress

84:44

test.

84:45

>> You know what I mean?

84:46

>> Yep.

84:47

>> It's almost like you have to give them a

84:48

baggie and then have a fake cop

84:53

>> gra and say, "Where'd you get Marcus

84:55

King gave it to me?" Oh, gotcha, [ __ ]

85:00

there. I ran into this guy recently and

85:03

um

85:05

uh basically what happened was like I

85:06

was on Jam Cruise years ago and I was

85:09

super [ __ ] up and I was supposed to

85:11

sit in with this band called Naughty

85:13

Professor from New Orleans and they're

85:14

like

85:15

>> that's a great name.

85:16

>> They're so good and they're just

85:18

outrageously talented musicians. And I

85:21

had gone out on an adventure that

85:23

morning on a catamaran. I didn't know

85:25

what the [ __ ] a catamaran was. I didn't

85:27

know if it was land air or sea vessel,

85:29

right? So, we go out there. Turns out

85:31

it's a boat. And uh we go like

85:34

snorkeling in the Cayman Islands and

85:37

we're just like looking at all the fish

85:39

and like my girlfriend at the time and a

85:41

bass player friend of mine from a band

85:43

called Lettuce. His name's Jesus. So,

85:45

out there with my girlfriend at the time

85:47

and Jesus,

85:47

>> his name is Jesus. Yeah.

85:48

>> Not Jesus.

85:49

>> Well, his name's Eric, but he goes by

85:51

Jesus.

85:51

>> Oh boy. Eric.

85:54

>> Oh boy. How did Eric get in your circle?

85:57

I

85:57

>> I don't think it's a a messiah complex

85:59

or anything. I think it's just a

86:00

nickname that stuck. But they were

86:03

tripping on acid and I was drunk on rum

86:05

and beer and um just out there waiting

86:08

and like when we came out for air, the

86:11

boat had or we had drifted

86:14

quite a ways from the boat and like we

86:16

couldn't get their attention and like

86:18

the waves started crashing and like a

86:20

storm started rolling in. Oh, [ __ ]

86:22

>> Big waves. And like,

86:24

>> you know, I'm not the strongest swimmer,

86:26

you know, but we were we were basically,

86:28

you know, we were treading water out

86:29

there for like 40 minutes. And like,

86:31

>> holy [ __ ] dude.

86:32

>> You know, we were we were going to drown

86:34

and finally the dude jumped off the boat

86:36

and came out there and then he was like

86:38

yelling at me cuz I didn't have flippers

86:40

on. So, I was just out there with just

86:42

my shorts on and some goggles and uh he

86:47

signaled for the boat to come around and

86:49

they pulled us up out of the water. So

86:51

after that, we were celebrating our

86:53

life, you know. So I got completely

86:56

hammered and then I was on the boat and

86:59

I was like, "Well, I need a pickme up,

87:01

you know, cuz I got to sit in with these

87:02

guys and they're like college educated

87:05

like jazz musicians."

87:08

So uh this guy comes over, he's like,

87:10

"Hey man, you need a yatuski?" And I was

87:13

like, "Yeah, hook me up." And he pulled

87:15

out a spoon and he digs it down in the

87:17

bag and I go to take it and it was like

87:19

a small little mountain. I was like,

87:20

"Give me a little more." And he gave me

87:22

some more. And big snort. My whole face

87:25

went numb. And I was like, and it stung.

87:28

I was like, "Whoa, what the [ __ ] was

87:30

that?" And he was like, "Oh, just a

87:32

little blow." And I was like, "No, it

87:34

wasn't." And like, he said, "Yeah, it

87:36

was." And I grabbed him by the shirt and

87:37

I said, "What the [ __ ] did you give me,

87:39

motherfucker?" And um he looked at his

87:41

buddy like, "Well, I had he had had him

87:44

you know, like this. And he said, "Hey,

87:47

what bag did you give me, bro?" And he

87:48

was like, "The blue one." He's like,

87:50

"Oh, no." And he looked at me and I was

87:53

like, "What was it?" He's like, "It's

87:54

ketamine."

87:57

So, I went totally the wrong direction.

88:00

But I ran into that guy at the Grand

88:02

Opry. He came into my dressing room.

88:04

He's like, "Hey, remember me? Wrong

88:06

bag?" I was like, "Yeah, I remember

88:09

you."

88:11

"Yeah, I don't like you.

88:14

Yeah, you kind of put me in a weird

88:16

spot.

88:16

>> What was that like taking ketamine after

88:18

you almost died?

88:19

>> Man, it was heavy, you know. Um,

88:24

I basically like from what I recall,

88:27

like I became part of the boat.

88:32

>> That's how I remember it. like my feet

88:34

were like in the deck, you know, and

88:39

like I was moving the whole boat with

88:41

every step that I took. That's what I

88:43

remember.

88:44

>> Whoa.

88:45

>> Yeah.

88:47

But there was this one guy that kept

88:49

trying to get me to come play a festival

88:50

in like New Mexico and um I kind of put

88:53

him off the whole week and then he ran

88:56

into me and like I just remember his

88:57

eyes getting big like saucers. I don't

89:00

know what I said to him, but it was some

89:02

crazy [ __ ]

89:05

or it wasn't English at all. Probably

89:08

>> ketamine talk.

89:10

>> Ketamine's a weird one, man.

89:12

>> Because there's a lot of people that are

89:13

doing that right now for therapy.

89:15

>> Yeah.

89:16

>> Like Neil Brennan, a comedian, the co-uh

89:19

creator of the Chappelle Show. He was

89:21

the first person to tell me about it

89:22

because Neil's had depression problems

89:24

most of his life. And um we were in LA

89:28

and he said, we're in the hallway of the

89:30

comedy store. He goes, "I've been doing

89:32

ketamine therapy for depression." And I

89:35

go, "How's that working out? Is it

89:36

good?" He goes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I

89:39

didn't know what to expect." He goes, "I

89:42

thought, oh, you know, it's in a

89:44

doctor's office. It's probably going to

89:46

be just I'm probably just going to close

89:48

my eyes and I'll feel." He goes, "No."

89:51

He goes, "It's [ __ ] a fullblown

89:53

trip." He goes, "Tripping balls in a

89:56

doctor's office is [ __ ] strange."

89:59

>> I bet. He said it worked though for a

90:01

little while. Like he's done a bunch of

90:03

different things. He did a ton of Iwasa.

90:06

>> He's done a bunch of ketamine. He he did

90:08

like magnets on his brain. I think he's

90:10

did like a bunch of different things to

90:11

try to like rewire the way his brain

90:13

works.

90:14

>> Yeah.

90:14

>> Like whatever it is.

90:16

>> That's a that's a journey I'm on. You

90:18

know, I'm on anti-depressants and I I

90:21

want to get off them.

90:22

>> Which ones are you on?

90:23

>> I'm on Symbalta.

90:25

>> What does that one do?

90:27

>> Well,

90:27

>> is it an SSRI? Yeah.

90:30

>> So, it basically just kind of a it's for

90:33

a chemical imbalance, you know, but like

90:37

the best work that I did to combat my

90:40

depression and anxiety and stuff was

90:42

micro doing, you know, mushrooms.

90:45

>> Yeah.

90:45

>> Like that's that's the most progress

90:47

that I'd seen in my life. And

90:51

um I'm going to figure out some kind of

90:54

strategy because

90:56

you know like being on anti-depressants

90:58

and them telling you like whoa don't

91:00

just stop taking them all at once or you

91:02

know you could have seizures and [ __ ]

91:04

I'm like I don't like that. I don't want

91:06

to be like

91:09

you know enslaved by a drug by a

91:11

pharmaceutical drug you know.

91:13

>> Yeah. I'm

91:15

>> and it's like also like now you just

91:17

take this the rest of your life. It's

91:19

like what's the end result here?

91:22

>> Yeah. Theo Vaughn's going through the

91:23

exact same thing and last time I was on

91:25

the podcast he was explaining it to me.

91:27

It freaks me out because I know Theo has

91:30

had conversations before like even

91:33

publicly he had a Netflix taping and and

91:37

it didn't go well. It was like they

91:39

actually never they shelved it. They

91:41

never used it. And you know there was

91:43

all these stories from people that were

91:44

there saying he bombed. I think he just

91:46

had a kind of a breakdown. And when he

91:48

was talking to the crowd and there's a

91:49

video of it, we said, you know, the

91:51

people were shaking. Hey, we still love

91:52

you. He goes, "Thank you." Look, I'm

91:53

just I'm trying not to take my own life.

91:56

That's what I'm trying to do right now.

91:57

>> Yeah.

91:57

>> And like you hear stuff like that and

91:59

you just go like, "Oh, Jesus Christ."

92:01

I've known too many people that I didn't

92:03

think were going to kill themselves and

92:05

then did and then he goes down these

92:07

spirals where he starts talking about

92:10

world events and freaking out. I'm like,

92:12

"Oh, Jesus Christ." Like, I got to help

92:14

this dude. And so I send him things

92:16

about people getting off of them. And

92:19

apparently there's some doctors that

92:21

specialize in getting people off of

92:23

them. But here's the thing about that

92:26

chemical imbalance thing. That's not

92:28

real. They they used to think that that

92:31

was what these things do, that they

92:33

treated a chemical imbalance. But then

92:36

recently studies have shown that there

92:38

that is not what they do. They don't

92:40

exactly know what they do. and they kind

92:43

of numb you in some sort of a way that

92:46

helps some people. And I've had some

92:48

friends and I don't, you know, I don't

92:49

want to make any blanket statements

92:51

because I had some friends that were

92:53

suicidal. Um, Ari is one of them and he

92:56

got on SSRI and it helped him. He got on

93:00

he tried a bunch of different ones,

93:02

found one that worked, got on track, and

93:05

then his career started taking off. And

93:07

then as his career started taking off,

93:09

he started feeling much better. He was

93:11

on a good positive path in his life and

93:14

then he slowly weaned himself off of

93:16

those and now he's off of them. So I

93:19

think that might have saved his life.

93:22

I also know other people that have been

93:24

on their on those things and taken their

93:26

own lives. So I don't know cuz that's

93:28

part of one of the side effects is

93:30

suicidal ideiation. It's one of the side

93:32

effects.

93:33

>> But see if you could find anything about

93:36

the chemical imbalance not being true.

93:41

the chemical imbalance reason for taking

93:45

SSRIs. It's they they've measured like

93:48

levels of dopamine and serotonin and

93:51

people that take it's not that's not

93:52

what it's doing and they don't even

93:55

exactly know why it works and it's a

93:58

huge business. That's part of the

94:00

problem. And it's also part of the

94:01

problem these doctors are incentivized

94:03

to prescribe people these things. I had

94:05

a friend that went to a psychiatrist

94:08

and um was talking about their life and

94:11

things not doing well and immediately

94:14

the doctor tried to prescribe him SSRIs

94:17

>> right away. Like right away. Here's

94:19

something that you're never going to get

94:20

off.

94:21

>> I'm going to give it to you right away.

94:22

First meeting. And he was like, "Well, I

94:24

don't mean shouldn't I like try

94:27

exercise? Shouldn't I try diet?

94:29

Shouldn't I try just drinking water?"

94:30

And you know like I I read something

94:34

about like magnesium and red light

94:36

therapy being far more effective than

94:38

even SSRIs. There is no good evidence

94:40

for the simple chemical imbalance like

94:42

low serotonin that directly causes

94:44

depression or automatically means

94:46

someone should take an SSRI. But SSRIs

94:49

do change brain chemistry in ways that

94:51

can help some people. Um but so for

94:55

decades depression was popularly

94:58

explained as a serotonin imbalance in

95:00

the brain. Large reviews of the research

95:02

have not found convincing evidence that

95:04

people with depression have consistently

95:06

low serotonin or a specific measurable

95:10

imbalance that explains their symptoms.

95:12

Experts now describe the chemical

95:15

imbalance story as an oversimplified or

95:17

outdated way of explaining a much more

95:20

complex condition. And here's the other

95:21

thing about depression.

95:24

It has to be

95:27

connected to the state of your life.

95:30

Like if you have a terrible job, you're

95:33

in a bad relationship, you have abusive

95:35

parents, you know, and you live in a

95:38

shitty neighborhood,

95:40

who why why would you be happy?

95:42

>> Mhm.

95:42

>> Oh, I'm depressed. Oh, you need a pill.

95:44

No. Do you? Is that what you need?

95:46

Right.

95:46

>> Well, it's quite possible that you're

95:48

eating processed foods and you have all

95:51

these other things that we talked about.

95:52

shitty life, shitty house, shitty job,

95:54

shitty neighborhood, shitty parents.

95:57

>> Maybe you just need to make your life

95:59

positive,

96:00

>> like figure out a way to get your life

96:02

in a positive direction. They've shown

96:04

that exercise is way more effective than

96:08

anti-depressants at at actually helping

96:10

people with depression. True.

96:12

>> Just exercise. Just

96:14

>> [ __ ] go on a nice long walk every

96:16

day. Do some cardio, you know, take a

96:18

[ __ ] yoga class. That's way better

96:20

for people than these goddamn pills. But

96:22

these doctors are financially

96:24

incentivized to prescribe these things

96:27

and they prescribe them and hand them

96:28

out like candy. And again, I think for

96:31

some people it helps them.

96:32

>> And and and that's the issue, right? I

96:34

mean, if it wasn't a financial

96:37

incentive, I think it would be like take

96:39

these for six months, you'll be better,

96:41

you know? Yeah.

96:41

>> It wouldn't be like

96:42

>> forever. This is you now.

96:44

>> Even six months, it's like okay, how

96:46

long does it take to get off them?

96:48

Right?

96:48

>> Cuz I know a guy who was on him and it

96:51

took him a year and a half after he got

96:54

off of them before he felt normal again.

96:56

For a year and a half, he was [ __ ] up

97:00

cuz he was on him for I think he said he

97:02

was on him for 10 years and then for a

97:05

year and a half he got off of them. And

97:07

it just took that long before he finally

97:10

like balanced the ship out like whatever

97:13

waves he had to go through for a year

97:15

and a half. But he was like, "Whatever

97:17

I'm doing, I am not going back on those

97:18

goddamn pills." So he wrote it out

97:22

>> and came out on the other end.

97:24

>> It's [ __ ] up, too, because it's it's

97:26

hard to compare your experience to other

97:27

people because everybody's brain

97:29

chemistry is different.

97:30

>> Yeah.

97:31

>> So you you could have two people on the

97:33

same medication like you were, you know,

97:35

saying earlier, like,

97:37

>> um, it's hard to even quantify. Like I

97:40

even talked to my own sister or like

97:42

other family members about you know

97:43

their depression and their you know

97:45

mental health uh journeys and um it's

97:49

just it's interesting to think like

97:54

you could say like it's it's hard to

97:56

disprove it. You know what I mean?

97:57

Because somebody could be doing well on

98:00

it. But it's also like it takes two

98:01

weeks for it to really get into your

98:02

system. And I've I I had to try like

98:05

three or four different ones before one

98:07

really I felt felt like me, you know,

98:11

like even at my grandmother's funeral,

98:13

like I just felt nothing. I just felt

98:15

numb.

98:17

>> And like I didn't notice it until I got

98:19

into a situation where I was like, "This

98:21

woman raised me and I can't feel

98:23

anything."

98:24

>> Wow.

98:24

>> And it wasn't until like a heavy moment

98:26

like that that I was able to kind of

98:29

have that perspective of like I should

98:31

be feeling something right now. So, I

98:34

put those down and then uh it was like

98:37

two weeks later was having dinner with

98:40

somebody and like this song came on that

98:42

just brought all of it up. There was

98:45

this melody, this Wayne Shorter melody

98:48

that just unccorked everything and I was

98:52

just sobbing at the dinner table, you

98:53

know.

98:54

>> Wow.

98:57

Um, what did you feel like before you

98:59

took them and what was wrong with the

99:02

ones that you didn't stick with?

99:06

>> Um, well, I don't know if it was a a

99:09

matter of like maybe the dosage was too

99:12

high and it was just kind of creating a

99:14

block because like you got to feel some

99:17

emotions, right?

99:18

>> So, how did you feel before you were

99:20

taking them? Like what was what was

99:21

bothering you that you realized you

99:22

needed to take something? Well, I think

99:25

a lot of it had to do with just like

99:27

substance abuse, but I was feeling

99:29

really anxious and really suicidal and

99:33

um just really really depressed, you

99:36

know, and um just this overwhelming

99:40

sense of dread every day and just also

99:44

just a lot of helplessness like just

99:46

trying to going to different doctors and

99:48

just like trying to figure out like what

99:50

the [ __ ] is it that's going to finally,

99:52

you know,

99:53

take this away, but also realizing like

99:57

I rely on that a little bit, you know,

99:59

for what I do for a living, you know,

100:04

>> so there's kind of that, you know,

100:06

>> rely on the feelings of depression.

100:09

Yeah.

100:09

>> All that, you know, for writing and for

100:11

creating um

100:13

>> God, that's a [ __ ] conundrum, ain't

100:14

it?

100:14

>> Yeah. Being fearful that it's going to

100:16

take your drive away

100:18

>> because you don't have anything to

100:19

create for

100:21

>> no substance, right? So, it's a it is a

100:26

strange battle. It's one that I still

100:27

kind of deal with, but I'm just in a

100:30

much better spot on the journey.

100:32

>> So, which ones did you try and what was

100:36

wrong with the ones that you try? They

100:37

just numbed you up.

100:40

>> This was like six years ago, so like

100:42

2020. Um,

100:46

I can't remember the name of the

100:48

specific

100:50

medication. And I'm sure I have a an old

100:52

bottle of it somewhere in my house, but

100:54

um

100:56

yeah, I don't know. I just

100:58

>> But what did it do? It just made you too

101:00

numb.

101:00

>> It just made me feel numb.

101:01

>> And then when you found one that worked,

101:03

what did that do differently?

101:04

>> So the one that I'm on now, uh I mean

101:11

like if I go a day without it, like I

101:13

like the the withdrawal symptoms are

101:15

like fairly severe. just like headaches

101:18

and just like complete like body

101:20

tingling sensations and just like it's

101:23

really scary stuff. It's just,

101:26

>> you know, so I'm I'm going to have to

101:27

wean off of it slowly over time like

101:29

already did.

101:31

>> Yeah.

101:32

>> I wonder if I gain would help with that.

101:35

>> Well, I mean, you know, it's like I was

101:37

saying like micro doing mushrooms was

101:39

like the first thing that I actually

101:41

felt some kind of lasting result. Like

101:44

now like when I get an anxiety attack or

101:47

something, I can recognize it as

101:49

something just coming from an outside

101:52

force, you know, an energy that's not

101:55

aligning with me. Mhm.

101:57

>> And I can recognize it. I can work

101:58

through it where like before I would

102:00

just get a little overwhelmed, you know.

102:03

But I think also just like

102:05

not drinking and like having to

102:08

socialize with people and having to have

102:11

a little exposure therapy to like social

102:13

interactions and life in general without

102:15

just masking myself with drugs and

102:17

alcohol

102:18

>> has helped a lot too in that growth.

102:22

So when you first started taking it, you

102:26

there's all the stuff that you're doing

102:28

in terms of like abusing alcohol and

102:31

substances and that which definitely

102:34

causes you to feel like [ __ ] and

102:37

definitely causes a lot of people to

102:39

have like all sorts of angst and anxiety

102:42

and just [ __ ] with you. This stuff

102:45

alleviated that.

102:49

>> What I'm on now?

102:50

>> Yeah. Uh, I mean, you know, it has

102:54

>> kind of

102:55

>> and I'm afraid of like, you know, if I

102:57

get off of it, are those emotions going

102:59

to come flooding back in, you know?

103:01

>> So, did it stop those emotions?

103:04

>> It

103:05

>> This is all, by the way, why you were

103:06

drinking, right? You're not drink. And

103:08

how long has it been since you've drank?

103:10

>> Like a year and a half.

103:11

>> Okay.

103:11

>> But, I mean, those those emotions do

103:13

come back every now and again,

103:16

>> even while you're on the stuff.

103:17

>> Yeah. But it significantly

103:21

curbed them.

103:23

>> But it's like, you know,

103:25

>> at what price?

103:26

>> I mean, I was talking to my boy Earnest

103:28

about it cuz, you know,

103:31

um he's kind of a kindered spirit and

103:33

like, you know, just talking about like

103:35

I'll be working out and like getting

103:37

after it, feeling good, listening to the

103:39

Stones or whatever. And like I noticed

103:41

like

103:43

um in my gym at my house like I guess

103:46

they used to have a punching bag hanging

103:47

up there and just like you see something

103:50

like that and you just take a mental

103:52

note of like that probably hold my

103:54

weight, you know. It's just like these

103:57

>> Oh, you mean to hang yourself?

103:59

>> Yeah. Like these thoughts just kind of

104:00

come,

104:02

>> you know, and it's I don't know where

104:04

they come from. They just they just pop

104:07

in and as quick as they come, they go.

104:10

>> And this is before you taken the

104:12

medication?

104:13

>> No. I mean, this is like a month ago,

104:15

you know.

104:15

>> Okay. Did the Did you have those

104:17

thoughts before the medication?

104:19

>> Oh, yeah.

104:20

>> Okay. So, they're still there.

104:21

>> Yeah.

104:22

>> So, whatever it's doing, it's doing a

104:24

little bit.

104:25

>> It's

104:25

>> I mean, it's got to be helping to a

104:28

degree.

104:28

>> Do you think it is? I think so. But I

104:30

think it's it's really just about like

104:32

your will and like your your mental just

104:35

your ability just like we were talking

104:37

about like with diets and stuff, you

104:39

know, like

104:41

>> does Osimpic help curb, you know,

104:43

appetites, but you could also just

104:45

exercise and just have willpower. And I

104:48

think mental health can be of a similar

104:51

thing.

104:52

>> One of the things that people are

104:53

finding out about Ozmpic is it actually

104:55

curbs your desire to be in love, too.

104:59

Yeah,

104:59

>> that's a nasty thought.

105:00

>> Yeah, you you don't enjoy anything.

105:04

>> Yeah.

105:04

>> Yeah.

105:05

>> What I'm hearing about these SSRIs is

105:08

like um like genitalia like paralyzed.

105:14

Yeah.

105:15

>> I saw that on Twitter. Some lady was

105:16

talking about her she got off of it and

105:18

her clitoris is numb. She can't have

105:20

orgasms anymore.

105:21

>> That's [ __ ] up.

105:24

>> Yeah. If that ever happens, it's like,

105:27

you know,

105:28

>> the problem is I don't know if it comes

105:30

back.

105:30

>> So, you can't wait for it to happen and

105:32

like which medications cause it to

105:34

happen?

105:35

>> Yeah.

105:36

>> Um, if you do get off of it,

105:38

>> have you talked to your doctor like what

105:41

is the protocol?

105:43

>> Um, well, weaning off of it. Yeah. My

105:46

doctor always just says like

105:49

>> I don't know. He just every time I talk

105:50

to my doctor, it's like every few months

105:52

we check in and he's like, "Well, how

105:55

you feeling?" You know, "How you doing?"

105:57

Uh I'm like, "Well, I'm okay." You know,

106:00

just kind of feels like the same. Um

106:04

kind of want to get off of them. And

106:05

he's like, "Well, you know, if you want

106:07

to do that, like you're going to have to

106:09

go slowly overtime, but uh you know, are

106:13

things good?" And I'm like, "Well, yeah,

106:15

things are fine." He's like, "Well, you

106:17

don't really want to change things if

106:20

they're good, right?" You know,

106:22

>> that kind of thing.

106:25

>> And you worry, what

106:27

>> I worry about what's going to happen if

106:28

I, you know,

106:29

>> what's that going to be like getting off

106:31

of him

106:32

>> cuz the thing about it is like I was

106:34

talking about this guy that was on him

106:36

for 10 years. like that year and a half

106:38

was [ __ ] rough where he was

106:41

experiencing all sorts of problems

106:42

because his body was just kind of in

106:44

shock

106:45

>> that he had be on he had been on SSRIs

106:48

for a decade

106:49

>> and then all a sudden he's off of him is

106:51

like like the way Theo described it is

106:53

like the floor was missing

106:56

>> like the floor fell out from under him

106:59

>> getting off him.

107:00

>> He got off him for a while and then got

107:01

back on him. He got off him about a year

107:03

ago for a little while and then got back

107:05

on him. but he wants to get off him. He

107:07

just doesn't know what to do. And

107:11

>> I mean, hell, it's like it's it's like a

107:14

it's literally a plot device, you know,

107:16

like the show The Ozarks, you know,

107:18

>> like The Crazy Brother, like he's

107:20

pouring his medication down the drain. Y

107:23

>> and he goes [ __ ] nuts, you know? It's

107:25

like

107:26

>> somebody being off their medication is

107:28

kind of a pjorative term, right?

107:30

>> Yeah.

107:31

>> But I'm like,

107:32

>> I kind of want to get off mine. Well, it

107:34

depends on what medication, right? Some

107:36

people are schizophrenic.

107:38

>> Yeah. If it's anti-csychosis, I guess

107:40

>> if you've got psych psychosis, have do

107:43

you exercise?

107:44

>> Yeah.

107:44

>> What do you do?

107:46

>> I usually do 20 minutes on the pelon and

107:49

then a different muscle group every day.

107:51

>> Oh, that's good. That anything cardio-

107:54

wise is great for depression supposedly.

107:57

And even weights. Weights are supposedly

107:59

really good for anxiety for some reason.

108:01

>> I've noticed. Yeah,

108:03

>> there's a there's a real definitive

108:05

difference when I'm working out versus

108:06

when I'm when I'm not.

108:08

>> Yeah, man. So, like, do you have a

108:11

strategy for when you're thinking about

108:13

doing this or how you're going to try to

108:15

do this?

108:17

Well, I was thinking I'd probably do it

108:20

when I had some time off, but I'm

108:22

working the rest of the year, but

108:26

honestly, man, being on the road is kind

108:28

of my my constant. So, I think it's

108:31

something that I could probably

108:32

accomplish while I'm on the road, but

108:34

I'd hate to have like a breakdown.

108:36

>> Yeah. [ __ ] that.

108:39

>> You're in Nashville about to do a show

108:40

and you're like, I got to cancel the

108:42

show,

108:42

>> right?

108:43

>> Yeah. So, it's it's it's hard to

108:45

determine, you know,

108:47

>> it scares me, man, because and again, it

108:49

scares me because doctors incentivize to

108:52

keep you on them

108:53

>> and promote them and get you to do them.

108:55

Also, when they've been prescribing them

108:57

for people, they don't want to ever

108:58

think that they're doing something bad.

109:01

>> There's a justification process in there

109:03

somewhere,

109:04

>> 100%. Justification process, financial

109:07

incentives, there's there's a lot going

109:09

on there. And then there's also this um

109:13

this position that they're in of

109:15

expertise where they're explaining to

109:17

you what you should and shouldn't do and

109:19

how it works and and when you're like

109:20

this is [ __ ] up my whole life and I

109:22

can't get off them. Like oh just why why

109:24

slow down? Like isn't everything doing

109:26

well? Just keep keep on the same path,

109:28

Marcus. Everything's fine, Marcus. Bye.

109:31

Click. Got a new patient calling. Oh, hi

109:34

Jenner Deal. Yeah, it's it's very weird,

109:37

man. It's very weird that our society is

109:39

so hypermedicated.

109:42

>> Yeah.

109:43

>> Yeah. And injectables are the the wave

109:46

of the future.

109:47

>> Like

109:47

>> even like um like uh my boy Chevy that

109:52

works for me, he's um he used to work in

109:54

pharmaceutical sales and he's like

109:56

everything is injectables now because

109:58

that's what's hot because of like the

110:01

craze. So like every medication is like

110:03

pedaling injectables

110:06

>> because like the the wave of like

110:08

peptides and ompic and all that kind of

110:10

stuff now it's like it's trendy

110:13

>> which is really interesting to me.

110:15

>> That is weird

110:16

>> cuz I grew up with my dad having type

110:18

two diabetes and and my grandfather too

110:21

and u you know just seeing them inject

110:24

like insulin and stuff I was like yuck.

110:27

Well, type two diabetes. The thing about

110:30

that one is you can cure that.

110:32

>> Yep.

110:32

>> You just got to stop eating like a pig,

110:37

>> which is crazy. I know a bunch of people

110:38

that have stopped themselves from having

110:40

type two diabetes.

110:41

>> Yeah. And that and that's that's a goal

110:44

that I'm on is preventing myself from

110:45

ever dealing with that. Yeah.

110:47

>> I don't I don't eat sugar or anything.

110:48

>> Oh, that's awesome.

110:49

>> Yeah. I gave up sugar.

110:51

>> Well, again, the ketogenic diet is

110:53

supposed to be good for depression, too.

110:55

>> Do you take supplements? So, you're

110:57

taking magnesium and yep,

110:59

>> multivitamins and all that jazz.

111:00

>> Oh, yeah.

111:01

>> That's good. So, it seems like you're

111:03

doing a lot of the right things, man.

111:05

>> Yeah, man. I'm, you know, I just

111:09

I

111:10

>> don't want to be a prisoner to pills.

111:11

>> Yeah. And I I love my wife and I'm just

111:14

excited to have some babies and just I

111:17

want to get myself like her career is

111:19

taking off and my career is going really

111:21

well and like

111:22

>> Does she take SSRIs?

111:24

>> Mm-m.

111:24

>> No, that's good. She she's very anti

111:26

like any pharmaceuticals which I I

111:29

really admire about her.

111:30

>> I was just reading something about SSRIs

111:32

and the development of children

111:34

>> children's brains when women are

111:36

pregnant and they're on SSRIs and

111:37

apparently there's a bunch of issues.

111:40

>> Yeah,

111:40

>> I can see that.

111:41

>> I mean, look, man, there's millions of

111:45

people on those things. there's a giant

111:46

business and they want to hide all the

111:49

side effects and hide all the negative

111:51

aspects of it and hide the impact that

111:53

it does just to the overall psyche of

111:55

the nation when you've got okay let's

111:58

just take a guess how many people do you

112:00

think in this country are on SSRIs with

112:02

liberal women it's like 80% of them but

112:08

it is and the other 20% need them like

112:11

what is what's the percentage of people

112:15

on SSRIs in America. Let's guess,

112:18

>> man. I

112:19

>> 30

112:19

>> probably say like I would go even

112:21

higher. I'd say like 60 to 75.

112:24

>> Really?

112:25

>> Yeah.

112:26

>> 60 to 75% of the country.

112:28

>> Yeah.

112:29

>> Wow. I don't think it's that. I think

112:31

it's under 30.

112:32

>> It's too many.

112:34

>> It's too many. Yeah,

112:35

>> it's definitely too many. But there's

112:36

also a bunch of people that are looking

112:37

for a quick fix when

112:38

>> there's a bunch of factors to why you

112:40

don't feel happy. Like we were talking

112:41

about before, there's lifestyle, life

112:45

choices, situation that is beyond your

112:48

control, like where you're born, where

112:50

you live, the job that you have, like

112:52

where you, you know, if you're in a

112:53

place of limited opportunity and you got

112:55

a bunch of shitty people around you and

112:57

life sucks every day. It's hard to be

112:59

happy.

113:00

>> It's hard to not feel depressed. So then

113:02

there's the question of like, how does

113:03

one develop the the tools to get out of

113:06

that situ situation and get somewhere

113:09

else? And for a lot of people, it's

113:11

something that helps them break out,

113:13

whether it's starting a business or

113:14

being a musician or an artist or

113:16

something that gets you out of there.

113:19

And then you start getting around more

113:20

positive people and then you make more

113:22

positive lifestyle choices. But you just

113:24

can't expect to be happy if your life is

113:27

[ __ ]

113:27

>> right?

113:29

>> 13%. Okay,

113:31

>> that was way off. American SSRI

113:33

prescribing, but I bet in your business

113:36

that's why you think of it because Yeah.

113:38

And with artists, I bet it's a lot

113:39

higher.

113:41

>> Uh 13% of US adults report taking an

113:43

anti-depressant in any given 30-day

113:46

period. SSRI is the most frequently used

113:48

class within that group.

113:52

Yeah. Okay. So, 13%. So, that's 2015 to

113:56

2018.

113:57

>> I asked for an update for 2020. And it

113:59

said it's about the same

114:00

>> for 2026.

114:01

>> I mean, yeah, it says I asked, "Is there

114:03

any updates in 2020?" And it basically

114:05

said the same information.

114:06

>> So about 13%.

114:08

>> Still a lot. One out of 10 people on

114:11

crazy pills is a lot.

114:13

>> Yeah. In in the arts community though.

114:17

>> Yeah. Like within the artist community,

114:19

um the last data that I remember reading

114:22

was like 70% of like artists struggle

114:25

with some faction of mental health.

114:28

But um

114:29

>> I that makes sense.

114:31

>> Yeah.

114:32

>> And then there's also the newest element

114:35

that targets your mental health and goes

114:37

after it, which is social media.

114:40

>> Yeah.

114:41

>> That's a rough one, boy.

114:42

>> That's a rough one. And so many people

114:44

treat that as if it's no big deal. Like

114:46

you just shooting heroin into your

114:48

eyeballs every day with that stuff.

114:49

>> Yeah, man.

114:50

>> Not good. So many people are in there.

114:53

>> Yeah.

114:54

>> All day, every day. and then reading a

114:56

bunch of negative [ __ ] about them and

114:57

getting angry and upset

114:59

>> and then

115:00

>> carrying that weight around with them

115:02

all day.

115:04

>> It's it's easy to say like don't read

115:06

comments, but it's easier said than

115:08

done. Yeah. You know.

115:10

>> Yeah. Especially if you have it on your

115:12

phone. That's the thing. Like you got to

115:14

not have it on your phone.

115:15

>> If you have it on your phone, you're

115:16

going to go to it. But then the problem

115:17

is if you use it for touring and for

115:20

posting information, keeping your fans

115:22

engaged.

115:24

>> Yeah. Well, the algorithm also serves

115:26

you like you you got to engage.

115:28

>> They like anytime you talk to a social

115:31

media group, they're like, "What are

115:32

your engagement levels like?" Like, so

115:34

they want you on the app using it,

115:37

>> like commenting, responding to people

115:39

because if you don't and you choose not

115:41

to do that and they're like, "Well, can

115:43

we go on there for you and like respond

115:45

to comments or whatever?" And I'm like,

115:47

"No, I don't want you punching in any

115:49

bullshit." So, I'm like, I want to be on

115:50

there and be myself and like if this is

115:52

a tool that I have to have, I want it to

115:55

be me like authentically.

115:58

But, you know, it's a necessary evil.

116:01

>> Yeah. But it it ruins so many people's

116:04

brains.

116:04

>> It rots you.

116:05

>> Yeah, it really does. And it's also

116:08

you're absorbing so much negativity just

116:12

from what's going on in the world. Like

116:13

on any given day, if I open up Twitter

116:16

and I just start reading what people are

116:18

upset about, it's just like, oh my god,

116:19

the whole world is falling apart.

116:21

Everyone's mad at everything and

116:23

everyone and every little

116:26

whatever [ __ ] social issue, political

116:29

issue, world issue, economic issue.

116:33

Everyone's blaming everyone and

116:34

everyone's pissed and then there's so

116:36

many grifters and psychopaths that are

116:39

just on there all day using it, stirring

116:41

up [ __ ]

116:43

[ __ ] man.

116:44

>> I know.

116:46

It's um

116:50

Yeah.

116:51

>> You think I can use the bathroom in the

116:52

>> [ __ ] yeah, we can use the bathroom.

116:53

We'll

116:53

>> get into this.

116:54

>> Yeah. Got a lot to say about

116:55

>> We're going to pee, folks. We'll be

116:57

right back. And we're back, ladies and

116:59

gentlemen. Where were we? Depression.

117:01

Everything sucks. Stay off social media.

117:03

>> Yeah.

117:03

>> Let's talk about music.

117:04

>> Let's talk about some music.

117:06

>> Damn. That's how How does it take so

117:08

long to talk? seen that James Brown

117:10

interview from the 80s

117:12

>> when he's got those big glasses on.

117:13

>> Oh yeah.

117:15

>> I want to talk about some music.

117:17

>> That [ __ ] interview is amazing.

117:19

>> It's the best.

117:20

>> When he he had just got arrested and the

117:23

>> I'm out on love.

117:24

>> Yeah. Aren't you out on bail? I'm out on

117:26

love.

117:27

>> Yeah.

117:28

And he starts talking to the women in

117:30

the thing. He's like, "Why is that

117:32

ladies?"

117:33

>> Yeah. No, it's hilarious.

117:34

>> It's the best.

117:35

>> Clearly high as [ __ ]

117:37

>> Yeah. something going on there.

117:39

>> James Brown was an original.

117:41

>> When you first started doing music, how

117:43

old were you?

117:45

>> Um, man, I was probably like two or

117:48

three years old when I started dealing

117:50

with it. Yeah.

117:51

>> That's crazy.

117:52

>> Mhm. My grandfather played, my uncles,

117:56

my dad still plays, you know.

117:58

>> Wow. So, were they professional or they

118:01

just did it for fun?

118:03

>> My grandfather, so he was a career

118:05

serviceman. He was in the Air Force and

118:08

he was a staff master sergeant and he

118:10

played honky tonks on the weekend. He

118:13

was in charge of booking all the NCO

118:16

clubs on the base. So he would book like

118:19

Charlie Pride or Johnny Cash, Barbara

118:21

Mandrrell and his band would open up and

118:23

then back them up.

118:25

>> Oh wow.

118:26

>> So he was a country and western purist.

118:29

And

118:29

>> did you get to go to any of those shows

118:31

when you were young?

118:32

>> No. Well, so this was this was back in

118:34

the 60s.

118:35

>> Oh. My dad's 73 I think now. He was born

118:39

in 53 and um I was born when my dad was

118:44

like 43.

118:46

>> Oh wow.

118:47

>> So by the time I came along everybody

118:48

was

118:50

you know a lot of my family traded in

118:53

like uh I think they associated music

118:56

with a lot of the secular lifestyle. So

119:00

they kind of when they all got born

119:02

again and into the church, that's around

119:05

the time I came around, you know. So the

119:08

music was really associated with church,

119:11

but I was really interested in that

119:12

other stuff.

119:13

>> Isn't that interesting? Like I wonder

119:15

why there's a division,

119:18

>> you know? I think about it a lot. I

119:20

think that's the closest you can get to

119:22

divinity,

119:24

>> you know, is music really. um allowing

119:28

yourself to get that close to something

119:32

and the conviction that you feel in a

119:35

church, you know, that's a good common

119:39

thing for everybody to get on the same

119:41

level. And um

119:43

>> yeah, that's part of the church

119:45

experience that everybody having it

119:47

together, experiencing it together as a

119:49

group.

119:50

>> Being together live in a room with a

119:53

great musician on stage when everyone's

119:55

enjoying it together is very much a

119:57

transcendent experience.

119:59

>> Yeah,

119:59

>> it really is. It's

120:00

>> like drinking the Kool-Aid, man.

120:01

>> Yeah. It's like there's a beautiful

120:03

moment when you're all experiencing it

120:04

together and you're all clapping and

120:06

cheering or you're all dancing and

120:08

singing along. It's a beautiful moment.

120:11

>> It really is. Music is like a drug, man.

120:14

It really is. It's like a beautiful

120:15

drug.

120:17

>> Like the right song when you're on the

120:19

treadmill and you're like, "Fuck yeah."

120:21

You could just keep going, you know?

120:22

>> Dude, I tear a door off the hinges.

120:24

>> Yeah.

120:25

>> If I hear like Little Feet, Skin It

120:26

Back.

120:27

>> Yeah. Yeah.

120:30

There's certain songs that just give you

120:32

[ __ ] energy, man.

120:34

>> Or like [ __ ] by the Rolling Stones.

120:36

>> Oh, yeah.

120:36

>> That song. If I need a pickme up in the

120:38

morning, that song comes on. A great

120:41

weightlifting one is Prison Sex by

120:43

Tulle.

120:44

>> Oh, yeah.

120:44

>> Oh, you know that song?

120:46

>> Tulle's a band that I never really

120:47

delved into, but I know Danny Carrey.

120:50

And

120:52

>> um I know them because of my buddy Brent

120:54

Hines.

120:55

>> Did you ever listen to Masttodon?

120:57

>> No.

120:58

>> Man, I got to send you some some choice

121:00

cuts, but

121:01

>> Okay.

121:02

>> Brent was he was the [ __ ] man. He he

121:04

just died back in September.

121:06

>> Oh. Um, I took him on the road right

121:09

before that, which was

121:11

>> Oh, really?

121:11

>> which was messy.

121:13

>> Oh, really?

121:13

>> Um, Brent, um, he and Masttodon kind of

121:18

had a mutual agreement that he would

121:20

leave the band, so he was doing his solo

121:22

thing and like he's one of my heroes,

121:25

you know, and I was like, I'll take you

121:28

out. Sure. and like he just threw it

121:30

together somehow and then I ended up

121:32

having to kick him off the tour which

121:34

like broke my heart but he kind of

121:36

forced my hand. Um

121:40

the night in question like I walked

121:41

outside and he had this little tour

121:44

manager named Angela and she was crying

121:47

and my my tour manager was holding her

121:50

and she was crying. I was like [ __ ] a

121:53

what happened now? She said, "I walk

121:56

into the dressing room and Brent pee on

121:59

the floor

122:01

and I said, "No, no, you have to stop."

122:04

So then he pee in his mouth.

122:07

>> Oh Jesus.

122:09

>> And like I know. So you just have to

122:12

picture my boy just like pissing and

122:15

she's like, "You have to stop." And then

122:16

he's like, "Oh."

122:18

>> In his own mouth. And like at his

122:21

funeral, I told I told uh Matt Pike from

122:24

asleep. I told him that story and he was

122:25

like,

122:26

>> "Yeah, like and

122:28

>> normal."

122:29

>> He's like, "It's a party trick.

122:30

>> That's a Wednesday move."

122:32

>> And I was like, "Yeah, no, it's

122:33

hilarious." But it really offended her

122:35

and she got very upset and um the whole

122:38

thing just fell apart and you know that

122:41

>> that was the last straw.

122:42

>> That was fisting in his own mouth.

122:44

>> That was what did it

122:45

>> really? But you know, um,

122:47

>> get him some paper towels and let's fix

122:49

this.

122:49

>> I was ready to fix it, but like his

122:52

whole band and crew, they were like,

122:53

"It's not working." So,

122:55

>> what was he doing?

122:57

>> He was just just partying a little too

122:59

much, you know? And I mean,

123:03

I I really I love that dude like a

123:05

brother, you know? I miss him.

123:08

Miss him a lot. Sometimes it takes a

123:10

really wild, crazy, off the rails person

123:12

to make music or make any kind of art

123:16

that just moves you, drives you crazy.

123:18

>> Yeah. I mean, he was a true artist, you

123:21

know, like he he was insane.

123:23

>> Yeah.

123:23

>> And like you got to have friends that

123:26

your wife doesn't particularly love you

123:28

hanging out with,

123:29

>> right?

123:30

>> You know, there's something about that

123:32

friend.

123:33

>> Yeah. That's a lot of my friends.

123:34

>> Yeah.

123:37

>> Yeah. Yeah. But those are the ones that

123:39

make the magic.

123:41

>> Yeah,

123:41

>> there's something to it. And again, that

123:44

it is a magic thing that the the you

123:47

know, and this is coming from someone

123:48

with no music. I have no talent. And so

123:51

for me, like watching it and

123:53

experiencing it is a pure experience

123:56

because I'm not like, oh, I don't like

123:58

he how he played that chord. I don't

124:00

like how I don't know anything about

124:02

music. I just know I love it.

124:04

>> I mean, Rick Rubin, you know, he's held

124:07

on to that. Mhm.

124:08

>> He he wants to be, you know, and I think

124:11

he has been like the u you know the

124:15

voice of like the consumer.

124:17

>> He he hears what the consumer wants to

124:20

hear and I

124:21

>> Well, he knows what he likes.

124:23

>> Yeah.

124:23

>> And he's got a very interesting mind,

124:26

you know. He's a very interesting person

124:28

to talk to. His perspective on things is

124:32

very unique. I like him a lot.

124:34

>> Y

124:35

>> really like him a I like talking to him

124:37

a lot and just he sends you the wildest

124:39

text messages. You text me.

124:42

>> Oh yeah,

124:43

>> he send me some [ __ ] conspiracies

124:46

that are often sometimes I have to say,

124:47

"Hey, that's not real,

124:50

>> but every now and then he'll send you

124:52

some some ones that make you question

124:54

reality."

124:56

>> I like the thought of you talking Rick

124:57

off of a ledge.

125:00

>> Not necessarily talk him off a ledge.

125:03

letting them know that some of the, you

125:04

know, it's hard to know what's real and

125:06

what's not real out there in the world

125:07

if you're not like deep into the bowels

125:10

of conspiracy theory movement.

125:12

>> Yeah.

125:12

>> You know,

125:13

>> right.

125:13

>> But again, a guy like Rick like his

125:16

sensibility like he he has a it's like a

125:19

very valuable position person just with

125:22

a unique mind that is just helping shape

125:26

how music gets produced and created.

125:29

Mhm.

125:29

>> And because like whatever whatever it

125:32

takes, whatever it I mean it's not a

125:34

science like a math thing or a it's not

125:38

carpentry like you have to level this

125:39

and square that like no man. There's

125:41

like some weirdness and there's love in

125:45

there and hate in there and there's

125:47

there's there's a lot of stuff that is

125:50

intangible. It's hard to describe like

125:53

why this is better and why this is good.

125:55

But when you hear it, you know. when you

125:58

know you know

125:59

>> you know there's some riffs

126:02

>> you know there's some riffs that just

126:04

like oh my god like the beginning of

126:06

Vuju child slight return

126:08

>> come on

126:09

>> yeah come on just the beginning you hear

126:11

it you go oh yeah

126:13

>> yeah dude

126:15

>> I mean Dan Hourback's another one who's

126:17

just

126:18

>> Oh yeah I love those guys

126:19

>> perfected the riff

126:21

>> Josh Hammy Stone Age

126:24

>> Oh yeah

126:25

>> um you So Rick's a funny one, man. I

126:30

love his philosophy on music, too. He

126:32

just he looks at it the same way that

126:33

Colonel Bruce Hampton looked at it.

126:35

>> Colonel Bruce Hampton and Rick both

126:37

believed that music is like pro

126:39

wrestling, you know.

126:40

>> Is Colonel Bruce Hampton the Colonel

126:42

from Elvis?

126:43

>> That's different. Different Colonel.

126:45

Who's Colonel Bruce Hampton?

126:46

>> Colonel Bruce Hampton. He was kind of

126:48

like um so Billy Bob Thornton put him in

126:50

a movie in Slingblade. Um, he was I

126:54

can't remember his name in the film, but

126:56

yeah, Colonel Bruce Hampton. There he

126:58

is. He died on stage at the Fox Theater.

127:01

>> Wow. In Detroit.

127:03

>> No, in uh Atlanta.

127:04

>> Oh, okay.

127:05

>> Uh, his story is he was born with two

127:07

birth certificates. Um, he was just a

127:10

wild man and he was just he was all

127:12

about like instead of instruction, he

127:14

called it outstruction. And like Billy

127:17

Bob worked on a documentary about him in

127:20

like 2003.

127:22

Um,

127:23

and he was just like his whole

127:25

philosophy on music and just like why we

127:27

do it and just pointing out the hilarity

127:29

of like the business and like the coffee

127:31

getters as he referred to them. You

127:33

know, we have a whole industry built

127:35

around coffee getters now. You know, all

127:37

the people that got the suits, their

127:40

lattes and stuff in the morning, now

127:41

they're calling the shots. And that's a

127:43

that's a weird place to be. But the

127:46

Colonel Bruce Hampton I, you know, I

127:50

just what I do now is I just buy copies

127:53

of u his uh documentary Basically

127:57

Frightened and I just give it to people

127:58

who aren't hip to the knowledge. So I'll

128:01

I'll send a copy down here.

128:02

>> Yeah. It's called Frightened.

128:03

>> It's called Basically Frightened.

128:05

>> Basically Frightened.

128:06

>> Colonel Bruce Hampton story. Yeah.

128:07

>> Is it available anywhere? Like is it on

128:09

Apple or Amazon or

128:11

>> It's not streaming anywhere.

128:13

>> No. So I just I just collect the DVDs

128:15

when I can find them.

128:16

>> Oh wow. Is it a Can you buy a DVD

128:19

128:21

to this and they want to get a hold of

128:22

it.

128:22

>> Yeah. Like eBay.

128:23

>> That's the only way.

128:25

>> That's That's the only place I found

128:26

128:27

>> Really?

128:27

>> Yeah. And you'll be bidding against me.

128:29

I always

128:30

>> keep buying copies of it.

128:32

>> I Yeah. Every time I give one away, I

128:34

buy another copy.

128:35

>> Wow.

128:38

>> Yep.

128:38

>> Here's I found a thread on Reddit.

128:41

people looking for it and someone's

128:42

like, "Just mail me the DVD and I'll

128:43

copy it for you." Like, you can't find

128:45

it anywhere.

128:46

>> Oh, wow.

128:48

>> It would be cool if it it were to be

128:50

streamed somewhere. It's a fascinating

128:52

story.

128:54

>> $215 on Amazon, but I don't know that

128:56

that's going to be even real,

128:58

>> right? Yeah. They might just send you a

129:00

[ __ ] brick.

129:01

>> But he he was somebody like,

129:04

>> you know, widespread panic. That was

129:05

like their guru, you know,

129:07

>> really. Colonel Bruce Hampton, Jimmy

129:09

Herring, you know, um, Otil Burbridge,

129:13

who I'm in a band with now. Um,

129:16

you know, he started with Bruce. Really?

129:20

>> I've never heard of him before.

129:21

>> You know, it's just he's one of those

129:23

guys that, you know, he was like to the

129:25

southeast. He was like our Frank Zappa,

129:27

you know, or like our son Raw.

129:29

>> Oh, wow.

129:30

>> He was just all about just the

129:32

outrageousness.

129:33

And you know, I have a lot of friends

129:36

who spent a lot more time with him than

129:38

I did, but like he was one of the first

129:40

people that took notice to what I was

129:43

doing when I was like 15, you know, and

129:46

then I remember like being in Germany

129:50

and finding out that he'd passed away on

129:52

stage,

129:54

which he predicted.

129:55

>> He did. Really?

129:57

>> Yeah. He said that's how he was going to

129:58

go. Well, if you keep performing long

130:01

enough.

130:03

Well, Carlin died in a hotel room on the

130:05

road.

130:06

>> Really?

130:07

>> Yeah.

130:07

>> I'm gonna have to download this for you

130:08

real quick.

130:09

>> Oh, there you go.

130:10

>> It's unlisted on YouTube.

130:11

>> Oh, perfect.

130:12

>> It won't be there tomorrow, though.

130:14

>> After this episode gets released. Yeah.

130:17

Can you download it?

130:17

>> Uh, I can try to Yeah.

130:19

>> Yeah.

130:21

>> Download it to I'll figure it out,

130:22

though. But

130:22

>> Okay. Jamie to the rescue.

130:25

>> Sorry folks, if you're getting this.

130:27

>> You might be able to find it still. I

130:28

found good luck.

130:30

>> Somebody can upload it on one of them

130:32

other social media platforms.

130:35

That's cool. I'm interested in checking

130:37

it out. One of I I love music for

130:39

inspiration, you know. It's um it's one

130:43

of the unique art forms that uh it

130:48

inspires you to create,

130:50

>> inspires you to go do things. You know,

130:52

whenever I see a a live band or a live

130:54

performer, I can't wait to go do

130:57

something. I want I want to go write. I

130:59

want to go perform. I want to Paul Paul

131:01

Mooney who's a great comedian. Do you

131:03

know who Paul Mooney is?

131:04

>> Yep.

131:05

>> Uh he used to write for Richard Prior.

131:07

He was one of the real OGs back in the

131:10

early days when I came to the comedy

131:11

store. I was kind of blown. He was one

131:13

of the guys I was always nervous around

131:14

being around till he liked me. It's

131:16

like, you know what I mean? Like yeah,

131:17

>> Paul Mooney hates you. You're [ __ ]

131:21

>> But uh he gave me that advice once early

131:23

on. And he said, "If you want to

131:25

entertain people," he said, "Go be

131:27

entertained." He goes, "You want to

131:29

entertain, honey? Go be entertained,

131:31

homie. Go see some other shit." He goes,

131:33

"Go see something that gets you. Go see

131:35

a great movie. Go see a band. Go see

131:38

something. Be entertained."

131:41

>> That's what That's what my process is

131:42

like in the studio, man. Like this last

131:44

record we did like we had a projector

131:48

and we'd play like you know uh Giant

131:52

with James Dean or we play like

131:54

>> Easy Rider Big Labowski or like films

131:56

that like inspired us films that we like

131:59

really gravitated towards

132:01

>> and I all the while you know waking up

132:04

in the morning and reading East of Eden

132:06

and just like some of these great

132:07

architects of Americana and just like

132:10

being inspired on every turn

132:12

>> watching live concert footage of bands

132:15

that we love. Marshall Tucker Band,

132:16

Skard, whatever the case.

132:18

>> Um, just inundating yourself with

132:21

inspiring stuff, you know,

132:24

>> just something to get the juices

132:25

flowing.

132:26

>> Yeah.

132:26

>> To summon the muse.

132:28

>> Mhm.

132:28

>> Something to

132:30

>> Sometimes we would play just the the

132:32

footage of like a Midnight Cowboy or

132:34

something

132:35

>> and we would we would record, you know,

132:37

in the mindset like we were trying to

132:39

score this film, you know?

132:40

>> Oh, wow. Wow.

132:41

>> Just to kind of get a different

132:43

approach.

132:45

>> I forgot about Midnight Cowboy. What a

132:47

wild movie.

132:47

>> It's a good one.

132:48

>> Yeah. That was back when Times Square

132:50

was dirty.

132:51

>> Yeah.

132:52

>> Now Time Squares is one big Applebees.

132:55

>> That's when people would go and watch

132:56

pornography together in a theater.

132:58

>> In a theater. Yeah. Not only that, but

133:01

it was a thing in the early days of

133:04

pornography where couples would go out

133:08

and like Johnny Carson went to see Deep

133:11

Throat.

133:11

>> Yeah.

133:12

>> There's like famous people went to see

133:15

the film Deep Throat in the theater.

133:18

>> Yep. Well, it was adult entertainment.

133:21

>> How But how weird is that that

133:24

pornography like there was always stag

133:27

films, right? Mhm.

133:28

>> Like that was the thing that they used

133:30

to make like in the early days of

133:31

movies. They would film

133:33

>> people having sex and you could watch it

133:35

like at a stag party which was like a

133:37

bachelor party,

133:38

>> right?

133:38

>> But then people tried to make films like

133:43

artistic films that had people having

133:45

sex in them which is really interesting

133:48

that we we find that

133:51

aborant like people don't like that in

133:54

today's society. We don't mind like this

133:56

this show from that I was telling you

133:57

about. Bro, the violence is horrific.

134:00

The gore and the violence is crazy.

134:02

That's okay.

134:04

>> Just don't suck someone's dick. Don't

134:05

make them come. That's terrible. Like,

134:07

do you remember the movie Bad Bunny? No,

134:09

not Bad Bunny. Was that Brown Bunny?

134:11

Brown Bunny. Do you remember the movie

134:12

Brown Bunny?

134:14

>> Brown Bunny was a Vincent Gallow movie

134:16

that he made and there was a real sex

134:19

scene in there. Like like real like how

134:23

do you say that lady's name? Chloe

134:26

>> I don't know how

134:28

I don't know how you say her name. She's

134:30

a really good actress and she blows him

134:33

like for real in the movie. Like it's a

134:35

real scene and the movie is a real

134:39

movie. But then when it came to the sex

134:41

part, they actually did it and people

134:44

were horrified.

134:47

>> Yeah.

134:47

>> I mean that's so weird. Like if it was

134:51

violence, like if it was a scene where

134:53

she beat him to death with a baseball

134:55

bat,

134:56

>> people would be like, "Wow, what a crazy

134:58

movie."

134:58

>> Right.

134:59

>> But it was a scene where she blows him.

135:00

People like, "This is outrageous."

135:02

>> Outrageous.

135:03

>> And I think that movie ruined Vincent

135:06

Gallow's career.

135:07

>> Really?

135:08

>> Yeah. Cuz Vincent Gallow had been in a

135:09

bunch of movies. He's a really weird

135:11

guy. Like a very interesting guy. And

135:14

after that, he kind of dipped away from

135:18

Hollywood. like he kind of vanished in a

135:21

lot of ways. And that was the big thing.

135:23

I remember reading these articles on how

135:25

outraged people were that they had

135:27

actually seen real sex in a movie.

135:30

>> Like it's so strange that we don't mind

135:32

violence.

135:33

>> Like once upon a time in Hollywood, Brad

135:35

Pitt takes a lady's head and bashes it

135:37

into a mantel piece and [ __ ] brains

135:39

her.

135:40

>> Fine.

135:41

>> Fine.

135:41

>> No. No outrage. No. Everyone Everyone

135:44

okay? Everyone's okay. But if he [ __ ]

135:46

her Yeah. Yeah.

135:47

>> Like actually pull her pants down. You

135:48

see Brad Pitt's penis and her vagina,

135:50

you're like, "This is crazy." Something

135:52

that we all do.

135:54

>> Yeah. But the simulation of it is fine,

135:56

too,

135:56

>> right? Simulation of it is fine.

135:58

>> Yeah. Like if it was a sex scene and you

136:01

just see his hips and her face like,

136:03

"Oh, and they're kissing." Fine. Long as

136:05

you don't see actual sex.

136:07

>> Mhm.

136:08

>> Even if it was like him and his wife.

136:10

Like if he made a movie with him and his

136:13

wife and they decided to have actual sex

136:15

in the movie, people would be like,

136:16

"This is disgusting. Get this [ __ ]

136:19

smut off the screen." But if they had a

136:22

movie with him and his wife and she

136:23

shoots him, you're like, "Okay, that's

136:25

fine." Didn't really happen,

136:26

>> right?

136:27

>> Weird, right?

136:28

>> It is weird. I mean, hell, I did a

136:30

commercial for

136:32

like I did a a shoot for this car and

136:35

like they couldn't have me in the car

136:37

while it was moving for insurance

136:39

purposes. So they had to like make it

136:41

seem like I was in the car while it was

136:42

moving.

136:44

>> Insurance purposes. That's crazy.

136:49

But that's more uh of a financial thing.

136:53

>> Yeah.

136:54

>> Are we But the the weirdness about sex,

136:56

the point is like see if you can find

136:58

that um footage of all the people that

137:02

were in line. And there's like an old

137:04

there's a YouTube video of an old news

137:07

report of people in line to see

137:10

[ __ ]

137:12

>> right?

137:12

>> And again, Johnny Carson was one of

137:13

them. And I think they even interviewed

137:15

him after the film. Like they they went

137:18

and watched people [ __ ]

137:21

>> and like it was a movie. Like you know,

137:23

you're watching the Joker or something,

137:25

>> right?

137:25

>> Very odd.

137:26

>> It is odd. And they got that name

137:29

[ __ ] from the the Watergate. Uh,

137:32

>> did they?

137:33

>> Yeah.

137:33

>> I thought Deep Throat was uh afterwards.

137:38

>> I thought I thought the Watergate thing

137:41

was after

137:42

>> I don't know.

137:43

>> I could be wrong. Chicken or the Egg.

137:45

>> Okay. So, Watergate was what 70

137:48

>> 74 was it?

137:50

>> Came out in 72.

137:51

>> Oh, yeah. So, the movie came out first.

137:53

>> Okay.

137:54

>> And so, that was after those. So that's

137:56

interesting too when you think about

137:58

like 72

138:00

was not that long ago and people's ideas

138:03

of pornography were very different back

138:05

then.

138:06

>> A lot of my favorite venues in the

138:07

country were porno theaters first.

138:11

>> Comedy mothership, bro.

138:12

>> All right. Yeah.

138:13

>> Was a porno theater at one point in time

138:15

>> and like people cared about like the

138:17

quality of like the the audio production

138:19

in those films and like you know and

138:21

these rooms sound really good. the

138:23

Variety Playhouse in Atlanta.

138:25

>> It's one of the best scenes in American

138:26

Werewolf in London.

138:28

>> Okay.

138:28

>> Do you remember that movie, American

138:30

Werewolf in London?

138:31

>> Um,

138:32

>> it's a great [ __ ] movie. One of the

138:34

best scenes. They're in the middle of

138:36

London and they're in an adult movie

138:38

theater and these people are watching

138:40

pornography. They're watching a smut

138:42

film and while these people are [ __ ]

138:45

he turns into a werewolf and kills

138:47

everybody.

138:47

>> I got to check that out.

138:49

>> Oh, it's great. One of the greatest

138:50

movies of all time. That wolf that we

138:52

have in the lobby, that's a a recreation

138:54

>> Oh, really?

138:55

>> of the American Werewolf.

138:56

>> Okay.

138:57

>> That's what that is.

138:58

>> The thing with Johnny Carson and Deepth

138:59

Throat, I think, is like a

139:01

conglomeration memory.

139:03

>> Is it?

139:03

>> There's a there's a weird There is a

139:05

photo of people waiting in line to see

139:07

the movie.

139:08

>> Mhm.

139:09

>> But it's like this is it on screen.

139:12

>> Mhm.

139:14

But there was a video

139:16

>> of Johnny Carson talking about it after

139:18

the fact during his monologue that he

139:20

went to see it.

139:22

>> Oh, so there wasn't a photo or a video

139:24

of him at the movie theater?

139:25

>> I don't think so, man. I'm looking for

139:27

it cuz I sort of remember what you're

139:28

talking about. I think remember we might

139:30

have read an article that listed all of

139:32

this stuff together.

139:34

>> What was that play where they had like

139:37

everybody was like naked and it was like

139:40

really a big deal. Um, was it like

139:44

Hairspray or something like that?

139:45

>> I don't know.

139:46

>> In the late 70s, my dad told me him and

139:49

his friends went to go see this like

139:51

Broadway production or off Broadway

139:53

production um where like everybody was

139:56

like nude and it was like this really,

139:58

>> you know, it was like this really racy

140:01

thing. Yeah.

140:02

>> And uh there was a preacher up front

140:03

just like really just giving him hell,

140:06

man. And then he got up closer and he

140:09

realized it was his uncle. My great

140:11

uncle was up there.

140:13

just motherfuckering them.

140:15

>> That's hilarious. Widely cited uh

140:18

overview. Many works are quoted. Note

140:20

that several mainstream celebrities

140:21

appear to have seen deep throat

140:22

including Martin Scorsesi, Brian Dealma,

140:25

Truman Capot, Jack Nicholson, Johnny

140:27

Carson, Spiro Agnu, Frank Sinatra, and

140:30

others. Barbara Walters later mentioned

140:32

seeing it in her memoir. These

140:34

references are usually brief, but

140:36

they're pulled into many articles about

140:38

the film's cultural impact. But that's

140:40

what's so interesting. is like that is

140:43

not um not normal in today's society to

140:46

even think that a bunch of people would

140:48

say they went to go see a porn film.

140:50

>> I think this is also so Midnight Cowboy

140:52

which is where you guys started this

140:54

1969 which is before this and one best

140:57

picture as the X-rated or NC7 movie. So

141:02

there started a little bit of a trend

141:03

then

141:05

>> this is only three years later you know.

141:07

So

141:08

>> why was Midnight Cowboy X-rated? the

141:11

reason.

141:12

>> Yeah. Like what was uh what was so

141:14

explicit that they had to make it an X?

141:18

>> I would say a little bit has to do with

141:20

marketing,

141:22

>> but I don't know if there's a reason.

141:24

>> Marketing.

141:25

>> Yeah. It make people want to go see it,

141:26

>> right? I guess. Oh, this is crazy. This

141:29

movie is crazy.

141:31

>> It's not standing out here.

141:36

Right here.

141:38

after consulting with a psychologist

141:40

they told to give it an exhomosexual

141:42

frame reference and its possible

141:44

influence on youngsters.

141:46

>> Wow, that's crazy. Today that would be

141:49

celebrated,

141:51

>> right?

141:51

>> Oh, there's a rape scene. I haven't seen

141:53

this movie.

141:54

>> I I saw it in like the 80s. I haven't

141:57

seen it in forever. Yeah, but even I

142:00

mean like in that film it's like a it's

142:02

like a a distant thought that John Voy's

142:05

character keeps going back to like the

142:08

rape scene whereas like [ __ ]

142:10

>> when was the last time you saw it?

142:12

>> Um couple months ago probably.

142:14

>> Oh, really?

142:14

>> But like [ __ ] u the deliverance is

142:18

plays on AMC on TV.

142:20

>> Right. Right. Which is another rape

142:21

scene.

142:21

>> Nothing's edited out.

142:24

>> Squeal like a pig.

142:26

>> That one [ __ ] me out when I was a kid.

142:27

I'm not going to lie.

142:28

Oh yeah, very much so.

142:30

>> Not to mention it like supposedly took

142:32

place like in the Appalachian like

142:35

backdrop, which is like where I grew up.

142:36

And I was like, that's [ __ ] happening

142:38

like here. Uh because of then shocking

142:42

sexual content. Even more importantly,

142:43

it's frank portrayal of homosexuality

142:46

and hustling. Hustling meaning having

142:49

gay sex for money,

142:51

>> which the studio and sensors saw as

142:53

potentially corrupting to young viewers.

142:55

The film includes scenes and references

142:57

to male prostitution, homosexual

143:00

encounters, and brief but explicit

143:02

situations including implied oral sex

143:04

and nudity, which went far beyond what

143:07

Hollywood had shown in a mainstream

143:08

drama up to that point.

143:11

>> Maybe now it would get just an R, but

143:13

also that would be with this never

143:15

existing. So

143:16

>> now it' be celebrated there. It's it's a

143:18

film celebrating sex workers. Yeah. It's

143:22

weird. It's weird what was uh but it's

143:24

also weird that there was a movie that

143:26

was an actual porn movie that a bunch of

143:29

people just went to see and talked

143:30

about. Like today people want to pretend

143:33

they don't even watch porn.

143:34

>> Yeah.

143:34

>> Meanwhile, I think last check we did I

143:39

know we've done this before, Jamie. Like

143:40

what percentage of the internet is

143:42

pornography? Internet traffic.

143:45

Take a guess of that. I bet it's way

143:47

more than SSRIs,

143:50

>> right? Don't you think?

143:52

>> Yeah. I haven't I haven't guessed right

143:54

so far. So, let's see. Uh

143:58

50%.

143:59

>> Oh, wow. I don't think it's that high. I

144:01

would think I would say 30.

144:02

>> Okay.

144:03

>> I'd say 30% of the internet, but I could

144:05

be wrong. I don't remember. 30% of the

144:07

internet traffic is pornography. Let's

144:10

say that. Maybe it's 40.

144:12

>> Saying that's a myth.

144:13

>> It's a myth.

144:15

>> I don't I mean, I haven't read through

144:16

this yet.

144:17

>> That's a bunch of people lying about

144:18

jerk and all, but 30 to 40% is a myth

144:21

apparently.

144:22

Okay. Porn makes up a small share of

144:25

sites. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But traffic,

144:26

>> yeah, it says it

144:28

>> um 30 40%.

144:31

Uh wy stated, but what is the what about

144:34

traffic? The amount of internet

144:35

>> searches.

144:36

>> Yeah, but

144:38

>> no, but I mean traffic like the amount

144:40

of bandwidth.

144:40

>> All right, then it's getting lost in

144:42

this word because I used I used traffic.

144:43

No, I used traffic.

144:44

>> Yeah, you did. Why do we see higher

144:47

numbers? See, 37 37% of the internet is

144:50

porn. BBC reported tracing one of these

144:52

popular figures back to single content

144:54

filter company press release, not an

144:56

independent audited measurement, some

144:59

advocacy. I I bet now today because of

145:02

YouTube and the amount of streaming that

145:04

goes on with like uh Instagram and Tik

145:07

Tok, I bet it probably isn't as high as

145:10

it used to be the percentage wise

145:12

because there's so much more content

145:14

that's being streamed now than ever

145:15

before. Mhm.

145:17

>> Porn related searches are 13% on the web

145:20

and 20% on mobile devices. That's funny.

145:22

It's more on mobile devices because

145:23

people can hide in the toilet.

145:27

Um the content filter company. Okay.

145:30

>> The claim comes from this.

145:31

>> Yeah, we read that. We already read

145:33

that.

145:33

>> Well, I just So it could be just made up

145:34

to begin with.

145:35

>> Yeah, could be. But there's got to be

145:37

like a number.

145:39

>> I don't know.

145:39

>> Of like the internet traffic.

145:40

>> I don't know how you'd get that number.

145:41

So, some advocacy or internet safety

145:43

groups site very high traffic shares and

145:46

storage figures. Example, uh nearly a

145:49

third of all internet traffic, but these

145:50

are rough, sometimes opaque estimates

145:53

rather than peer-reviewed measurements.

145:56

H okay, so it's at least 4%. So, it says

146:01

roughly websites 4 to 12%. That's a lot.

146:06

Just 4 to 12% of the whole internet is

146:09

jerkoff websites. That's crazy.

146:13

But the volume in terms of the amount of

146:15

bandwidth used,

146:17

>> right?

146:20

>> But

146:21

>> I bet if you went and watched Deep

146:23

Throat today, it probably be pretty

146:24

pedestrian,

146:25

>> be tamed.

146:26

>> Yeah.

146:26

>> It probably would seem just like

146:28

softcore almost,

146:29

>> right? Yeah. Like one of them Showtime

146:31

late night movies.

146:32

>> Yeah.

146:34

I mean it is something that I you know

146:38

um I like to save all that you know when

146:42

I get home off the road see my wife.

146:45

>> Yeah.

146:45

>> You know tagline that it had originally

146:49

>> the woman had an unusual birth defect

146:51

that came from a doctor who has an

146:52

unorthodox solution to make the best of

146:54

her situation.

146:56

>> Is that it?

146:57

>> Is that a the deep throat?

146:59

>> Yes. Yes. Oh, that she could just take

147:01

it

147:01

>> a bird defect

147:02

>> balls deep down her her chin. That guy

147:05

Harry Rees, he was like one of the first

147:08

famous male porn stars and I think he

147:10

went on to be a real estate salesman or

147:12

something.

147:14

>> Like if you're one of those people that

147:15

gets famous [ __ ] that's that has got

147:19

to be a very weak.

147:20

>> Is that where the porn mustache comes

147:21

from? That thing's huge.

147:23

>> Oh yeah, he had a crazy stash.

147:26

>> 1947. Wow. What's he up to these days?

147:29

He passed away,

147:31

>> did he? Yeah.

147:31

>> When did he pass away?

147:32

>> 2013.

147:33

>> Wow. Didn't live that long.

147:36

>> All that [ __ ] wasted all his jizz.

147:40

>> I bet he shaved off his mustache and he

147:41

was just anonymous. He just drifted in

147:43

and out of traffic. Nobody even noticed

147:45

him, you know?

147:46

>> Right.

147:48

>> Weird life having sex with people on

147:50

camera.

147:50

>> Should we add that to the wall?

147:51

>> That Oh, look at that. Got it.

147:54

>> Wonder what he got arrested to.

147:55

>> If we add it to the wall. Oh, probably

147:56

for

147:57

>> indecent something. Yeah, we should add

147:59

that to the wall.

148:00

>> Memphis,

148:02

>> you got to be up to some no good to get

148:04

arrested in Memphis. I tell you,

148:05

>> what did he get arrested for?

148:06

>> I'll see if it says something.

148:08

>> Too much dick.

148:10

>> Says his appearance in Dethro led to his

148:12

arrest by FBI agents in Memphis and

148:14

charges his conspiracy to distribute

148:16

obscenity across state lines.

148:18

>> Whoa.

148:20

Whoa.

148:20

>> He called it forum shopping, but I don't

148:23

>> What does that mean? forum

148:26

>> real term for the practice of litigants

148:28

taking actions to have their legal case

148:30

heard in the court they believe is most

148:32

oh to give them a good judgment

148:34

>> they're trying to f they're trying to

148:36

get them convicted I guess trying to

148:38

make an example of them so they found a

148:39

court that would take the case

148:40

>> like for obscinity

148:42

>> yeah supreme court

148:45

>> Miller vers California resonance granted

148:47

a new trial charges were dropped in

148:49

August

148:50

>> wow so they just

148:51

>> defense argues the first act to ever be

148:52

prosecuted by the federal government for

148:54

148:55

Bruce is slinging dick

148:58

>> and then all these people got behind

149:00

him.

149:01

>> Very Shirley Mlan, Warren Batty, Richard

149:03

Drifus. They all got behind him. Jack

149:05

Nicholson, Ben Gazara. Wow. Dick Cavitt.

149:10

>> He was in Greece as the coach.

149:13

>> Wow.

149:14

>> He was in the movie Greece, the musical.

149:17

>> What? In 1978.

149:19

>> Out of fear his notoriety would uh

149:21

jeopardize the film's B, he was

149:23

replaced. Okay. Oh, he was cast and he

149:25

was replaced by Sid Caesar. That's

149:27

hilarious.

149:29

Wow. After an 8-year in 1982, after an

149:32

8-year hiatus from porn, Reams returned

149:35

to the industry and performed in the

149:37

film Society Affairs and reportedly

149:40

received a six figure salary.

149:43

>> How weird.

149:43

>> Way back then.

149:45

>> Weird.

149:46

>> It is.

149:47

>> It the the whole pornography thing is

149:49

very strange cuz like people want to

149:52

watch other people have sex because

149:53

people like having sex but it's like

149:58

>> but you can't talk about it.

149:59

>> Well, you know, if you say you like it,

150:01

people like [ __ ] is wrong with you and

150:03

then they watch it.

150:04

>> But if we could dstigmatize it and like

150:07

not give people unrealistic ideas of

150:10

what happens in the in the bedroom

150:12

>> and and note it as something that is

150:14

entertainment, you know, it's

150:16

entertainment. The fear is that the

150:18

women that are in it, they for the rest

150:21

of their life, they're always going to

150:22

be thought of a certain way.

150:24

>> And the men skate, they don't really

150:25

have a like they're thought as CD, but

150:28

they don't thought as like, you know,

150:32

girls that got used. Well, I think

150:35

what's going to get weird is AI porn

150:38

because then you can watch porn and

150:40

there's no victims, right? There's no

150:42

person you feel bad for. like, "Oh, that

150:44

poor girl. Everyone's going to know that

150:45

she sucked dick on camera. She took it

150:47

in the ass on camera."

150:49

>> It's not a real person. So then maybe

150:51

you can watch that and

150:54

>> remove any kind of victim. Yeah.

150:57

>> I don't know. People are [ __ ] weird.

150:59

>> People are weird.

151:00

>> I'll tell you one thing I've never tried

151:01

and I'm not going to. I don't want it.

151:04

Nope. Not going to do it. Is VR porn

151:07

because Duncan told me, "Dude, have you

151:09

ever seen VR porn? It's [ __ ]

151:11

amazing." like not gonna do it. I'm not

151:14

going to sit there with [ __ ] goggles

151:16

on, jack it off.

151:17

>> Joe hasn't left his house in about six

151:19

months.

151:21

>> I mean, you imagine you're watching porn

151:23

and the people are [ __ ] 20 ft high in

151:25

front of you and they're they're bagging

151:27

and if you could move around in it like

151:29

you can move around in other VR like you

151:31

can get like really close to watch the

151:33

dick go in there like

151:36

>> that's one thing I haven't tried either.

151:38

>> VR porn good for you. Stay away. VR in

151:41

general is weird. You know what's really

151:43

great though is VR games. Have you ever

151:45

done any VR games?

151:47

>> You know what Sandbox is? You ever heard

151:48

of Sandbox?

151:50

>> Sandbox. They have one in Austin. Uh

151:52

they had one in Wood Woodland Hills

151:54

right down the street from our old

151:55

studio in LA. And it is a a place where

152:00

you go. It's like a big ass warehouse

152:02

and you go to these rooms in the

152:03

warehouse and they have fan set up and

152:06

it's all like these these walls like

152:08

it's all uh boundaries. They put a

152:11

haptic feedback vest on you and goggles

152:13

and they give you rifles and the plastic

152:16

rifles and then you get dropped into

152:18

this virtual reality world where you

152:20

fight zombies.

152:21

>> Oh [ __ ]

152:22

>> It's [ __ ] dope, dude. It's nuts. When

152:26

the zombies attack you, they run at you.

152:28

They claw you. You see blood splatter in

152:30

front of your eyes and you gun them

152:31

down. It's [ __ ] crazy. There's a

152:33

there's one called Deadwood Mansion.

152:35

That's my favorite. And the Deadwood,

152:38

man. There's a couple different Deadwood

152:40

games. I think there's

152:43

two or three now. I think there's three.

152:45

I think there's three. There's three

152:47

zombie games that you could play.

152:50

>> Three different ones. No, it's here.

152:51

>> Here.

152:52

>> They have one in Austin.

152:53

>> Yeah, it's out at um the domain. Mhm.

152:57

>> Yeah. It's out of the domain. It's

152:58

[ __ ] so fun. My family hates it

153:01

because they get like sick and I want

153:03

that's all I ever want to do. So on

153:04

Father's Day, I make everybody shoot

153:05

zombies with me.

153:08

Like it's Father's Day. What do you want

153:09

to do? Shoot zombies. Like no. Like come

153:13

on. We have to do it.

153:14

>> Yeah.

153:14

>> It's once you do it, it's fun.

153:17

>> Father's Day is coming up.

153:18

>> Joe

153:19

>> tournament.

153:20

>> Okay. Uh at one point in time I had the

153:23

number three score in the country.

153:25

killing zombies. Yeah, I went ham one

153:27

day. One day I was just locked the [ __ ]

153:30

in. And the key is I'm going to give you

153:32

guys a a pro tip. If you're doing

153:34

Deadwood Mansion, get the shotgun.

153:36

>> The shotgun is overpowered. The shotgun

153:39

kills more things than anything else.

153:41

It's way better at it. But the game is

153:43

nuts, man. I mean, there's there's

153:45

zombie rats that come running at you.

153:47

There's [ __ ] people that are attached

153:49

to the walls and they they they shoot

153:51

down their tongue and wrap it around

153:53

your neck and they're pulling on you.

153:55

Show Show them a clip of it.

153:57

>> It's crazy. It is a [ __ ] It is It's

154:01

really fun, dude. You'll You'll love it.

154:03

>> I'm going take the band to do that.

154:05

>> Yeah, that's what you you could do. You

154:06

could do it like six people. You go

154:08

there for like band activities.

154:10

>> It's a good one. I bet they have

154:12

multiple. I don't I only know of these

154:14

two of Austin and um LA.

154:17

>> The one I pulled up is in Atlanta.

154:19

>> Oh, is one in Atlanta?

154:20

>> Mhm.

154:20

>> Yeah. They have to have them all over

154:22

the place. I don't know. I I have no

154:24

idea why it's not everywhere cuz it's so

154:27

fun. It's one of the most fun things you

154:29

could do with your friends. We've done

154:30

it. My wife and I have done it on double

154:32

dates. Like you go do that and then you

154:34

go have dinner. It's great, man. It's

154:37

great. It's really fun.

154:39

>> They got a ton OF LOCATIONS NOW.

154:40

>> OH [ __ ] They're all over the place now.

154:43

Yeah, that's great.

154:46

>> Um, see if you can find a video of

154:48

Deadwood Mansion. Oh, Deadwood Phobia.

154:50

>> Oh, that's the newest one. That's the

154:52

third one. Oh, there's a Squid Games

154:53

one. We've done that one, too. The

154:56

Stranger Things one. They have so many

154:58

different Deadwood Valley. That's

155:00

another one that's really good.

155:03

The Deadwood Valley one. Do they have a

155:05

Yeah, here we go. So, check this out.

155:08

So, this is what happens. You get

155:09

dropped off into this city.

155:12

and the zombies are there.

155:15

And so this is this is you. It's like

155:18

it's cut between you with the guns and

155:20

then like this is what you see. This is

155:21

what it looks like. So, but this is more

155:25

like a video like showing you what it

155:28

looks like on the outside. But when

155:30

you're in it, wish they would show you

155:32

what it looks like. That's what it looks

155:33

like when you're in it.

155:34

>> Oh wow.

155:35

>> And these dudes are chasing after you.

155:37

You're gunning them down.

155:39

>> It's really fun.

155:41

But again, there's a bunch of games that

155:43

you can do that

155:47

>> survive the horrors.

155:50

You got to save the heroes.

155:52

There's There's people in there that you

155:53

have to save and there's other people

155:55

that you have to kill. It's dope. It's

155:57

really fun.

155:58

>> It's badass.

156:00

>> So, that's a good use of VR.

156:02

>> Don't be looking at 10-ft vaginas.

156:04

>> Look at Go kill fake zombies. You get

156:08

stuck on a train and as a train's

156:10

running down the tracks, they're jumping

156:11

onto the train and trying to get you.

156:13

You have to gun them down. It's really

156:15

fun.

156:15

>> That seems like something I I could get

156:17

into.

156:18

>> I never played any video games growing

156:20

up.

156:20

>> Really? That's crazy. How old are you?

156:23

>> 30.

156:24

>> How's that possible?

156:25

>> I mean, I just I never had much interest

156:27

in them. Like when I was young,

156:31

um I don't know.

156:32

>> Do your friends play video games?

156:35

Uh, like the rest of the band, they all

156:38

play, you know,

156:39

>> and you just say, "No, not interested."

156:41

>> I was just never really into it, man.

156:42

>> Well, this is different than a regular

156:44

video game. Like, this is very physical.

156:46

Like, you're running around. You're in a

156:48

room that's bigger than this room. And

156:50

you have your haptic feed. You also have

156:52

fans that blow air at you, you know?

156:54

Like, see, like if it's also to cool you

156:56

off, too, cuz it gets hot as [ __ ] And

156:58

you're running around. You got this vest

156:59

on and when you get grabbed the vest

157:01

vibrates so you feel it like

157:04

>> that's sick.

157:04

>> Oh yeah. It's really fun. But it's

157:07

probably good that you never got into

157:08

video games cuz they're so time

157:09

inensive. They they rob you of your

157:11

life. You think go golf robs you of your

157:13

life?

157:14

>> You don't have to leave the house to

157:15

play video games. Like look at Jamie

157:17

over there. How often do you play video

157:18

games, Jamie?

157:19

>> No, not that often.

157:20

>> No.

157:20

>> No.

157:21

>> I thought you were a junkie.

157:22

>> I actually I haven't played in weeks.

157:24

>> Oo, maybe.

157:25

>> But you were hooked for a while, right?

157:28

It's a fun, as I'm thinking in my head,

157:30

I'm like, I grew up playing video games,

157:32

but I also wish I was [ __ ] sick at

157:34

guitar. So, there's a [ __ ] trade-off

157:36

there.

157:38

And most people I know who are sick of

157:39

guitar aren't good at video games or

157:41

play them. So,

157:42

>> that's a very good point.

157:43

>> I did make I made an effort like uh a

157:47

year or two ago. I got a PS5 and I got

157:50

Red Dead Redemption. I was like, I'm

157:51

going to [ __ ] do it. I'm going to

157:53

play this game. And I just got I was

157:55

like, I feel like I'm just doing chores.

157:58

And I asked my drummer. He was like,

157:59

yeah, it's pretty much what it is.

158:00

>> Oh, Red Dead Redemption. Yeah,

158:03

>> you got to play something like a first

158:04

person shooter.

158:05

>> Mhm.

158:06

>> You know, play like Quake or something

158:07

like that. Like what's a what's the big

158:10

first person shooter that the kids play

158:11

today, Jamie?

158:12

>> I made Fortnite. Really?

158:13

>> Fortnite? Fortnite is

158:15

>> Boy, Fortnite's been around forever.

158:16

When I My kids were in like grade

158:19

school, Fortnite was big.

158:21

>> Yep. And they just made some weird I

158:23

don't I stopped paying attention but

158:25

like Star Wars is now in Fortnite and

158:27

that the games that they made for Star

158:29

Wars are just like Nope. It's just in

158:31

this thing now. You can just play it in

158:32

here.

158:33

>> Wow.

158:33

>> Really?

158:33

>> Yeah. It's like they download

158:36

Stormtroopers and lightsabers.

158:38

>> Whoa.

158:39

>> Yeah. My nephews are always hitting me

158:40

for uh what do they call that? Like

158:42

Fortnite bucks or

158:44

>> V-Bucks? V-bucks. Yeah,

158:46

>> they want V-Bucks so they can play more.

158:48

>> Yeah. There's Robux. My kids were always

158:50

into Robux for Roblox. So you could buy

158:53

things in Roblox. But apparently now

158:55

there's like pedophiles have been

158:58

gotten into Roblox. They try to message

158:59

people.

159:00

>> They ruin everything.

159:02

>> They do. They do. Creeps ruin

159:04

everything. But there's some very fun

159:07

video games that you shouldn't ever do

159:09

because it'll [ __ ] with all the other

159:10

things you do. Like not getting into

159:13

golf, not getting into video games.

159:15

Again, Jaime's dead right. That's

159:17

probably why you're so sick at guitar.

159:19

That's what

159:21

>> you can make a guitar jly wheat back.

159:24

>> Well, there's other things like there's

159:26

certain games where you can play guitar

159:28

like Guitar Hero.

159:29

>> That's not the [ __ ] same.

159:31

>> No, no, no. But haven't people learned

159:33

how to play guitar? An actual guitar

159:35

because of guitar?

159:36

>> There's a game there's technically a

159:38

game. It's like a training aid called

159:39

Rocksmith, which is way it's uh you

159:41

actually have a guitar and it's plugged

159:42

into it, not

159:44

>> on run. That's cool.

159:45

>> Guitar here. You're just hitting five

159:46

buttons. Oh,

159:47

>> you're just matching red to red, blue to

159:49

blue, and it's a timing thing,

159:51

>> but has you no transfer?

159:53

>> It doesn't. Oh, but it would I would

159:55

imagine that a game that would teach you

159:57

how to play guitar

159:59

>> with an actual guitar would be dope.

160:01

Like if you got like, you know, like

160:03

these games like the sandbox game

160:06

Deadwood Mansion, they you get a gun and

160:10

if you got really good like Staccato has

160:12

a VR gun game. staccato. They make

160:15

pistols and they there's a VR gun game

160:18

and you get a plastic staccato and when

160:22

you're playing this game like you're

160:24

actually pointing the trigger and when

160:26

you pull the trigger there's actually

160:27

like a muzzle jump. Oh wow.

160:29

>> So your reticle actually jumps up and

160:31

down a little. Your red dot jumps up and

160:33

down a little bit. That was that would

160:35

be exactly like it would do if you

160:37

actually shot a gun. So they have to

160:38

like reenter it. Bang bang bang. And so

160:41

you could run around doing things and

160:43

shoot stuff and shoot targets. And

160:46

>> that's here too.

160:47

>> Yeah. And you But that's a a game that

160:49

you can get for like medical VR goggles,

160:51

like consumer VR goggles. And so you

160:55

doing that could get better at shooting

160:57

guns

160:59

>> cuz you're shooting a plastic. Doesn't

161:01

weigh the same, but it's the same shape,

161:03

the same form. It's a plastic gun. I

161:06

mean, what they really should do is make

161:07

one of those things with the weight of

161:09

an actual steel gun so that you're

161:12

accustomed to the actual feel of the

161:14

thing.

161:14

>> Yeah.

161:14

>> And then, oh god, why can't they do

161:17

that? They should be able to do that.

161:19

>> Maybe I'll talk to them. But if you did

161:22

that, like that would be a skill that

161:23

would actually transfer over. So, if

161:25

they could do that with a guitar, if

161:27

they could figure out a way to attach

161:30

like computer sensors to an actual real

161:32

guitar.

161:33

>> This is Rocksmith. This is uh

161:36

>> there's levels of it. You can slow it

161:38

down. And

161:39

>> And what are you playing?

161:40

>> Real songs. You pick the song. They're

161:42

all real songs,

161:43

>> right? But what is the interface?

161:45

>> The guitar.

161:46

>> Oh, an actual guitar.

161:47

>> Yeah, it's plugged in with the USB cable

161:49

to the computer.

161:50

>> Oh, it's their virtual guitar.

161:52

>> No, no, this is just I I showed you what

161:54

it looks like on the the the game, but

161:58

>> right. Um

161:59

>> what is it? But it looks like an actual

162:00

guitar.

162:01

>> It's a real Whatever guitar you want to

162:02

play.

162:03

>> It's your guitar. It's not It's not a a

162:06

fake guitar.

162:08

>> Guitars are just things that vibrate

162:10

strings and

162:12

>> expel. Oh, dude, that's dope.

162:13

>> Expel digital sound thing.

162:16

>> That's That is dope. But I think

162:18

>> pretty sick.

162:18

>> After a while, you'd have to abandon

162:20

that, right?

162:21

>> Well, yeah, he's good at guitar. I mean,

162:23

>> need to learn this.

162:24

>> Did you learn by lessons or did you just

162:26

learn by playing?

162:28

So, initially I just learned by just

162:31

sitting around the house watching

162:32

cartoons, playing guitar. Um, my

162:35

grandfather would teach me something.

162:37

He'd give me like a project basically.

162:40

Um, or my dad would leave me a record to

162:42

listen to. And it was just his old

162:44

record collection. So, a lot of Almond

162:46

Brothers band, a lot of Skard, Marshall

162:48

Tucker band, that kind of thing. And

162:51

then I would just sit at home all day

162:53

and just go over it. And then later when

162:56

I was in high school um I studied jazz

162:59

theory with um Steve Watson um at this

163:03

it was like a vocational school for the

163:05

arts.

163:06

>> It's called the Fine Arts Center in

163:07

Greenville, South Carolina. And um I'd

163:11

go there in the afternoons and study

163:13

jazz theory and which was which was

163:16

really beneficial because it's it's good

163:19

to put a

163:20

>> put a vocabulary to things that you

163:22

>> you kind of knew you know but you didn't

163:25

know how to quite name it.

163:27

>> Just kind of learning the you know the

163:29

vocabulary learning you know what the

163:32

things are called and then expanding

163:34

upon that. you know.

163:37

>> Yeah, music theory is a is a valuable

163:39

tool.

163:40

>> Yeah.

163:41

>> Does it does it help you in writing

163:43

songs?

163:44

>> It can. Um, it helps in like um like in

163:48

Nashville they use something called the

163:50

Nashville number system. So like you go

163:52

into a session and like it's all based

163:55

off of the major scale. So like one two

163:57

three four five six seven and then the

164:00

eight is just the octave of the one,

164:02

right? So

164:04

they'll say like we got a one, four,

164:07

five, you know, and that just represents

164:10

what the chords are.

164:12

>> Yeah.

164:14

>> Oh, this is where math and stuff gets

164:16

this get really interesting. You go down

164:19

this rabbit hole forever.

164:22

You could you could bring a Terrence

164:23

Howard back in here into some weird

164:26

stuff and honestly and then you could

164:28

bring in ancient Egypt and say this is

164:29

all vibrations and you could probably

164:31

translate hieroglyphs into some of this

164:32

music theory stuff.

164:34

>> It's [ __ ] weird.

164:35

>> Terrence Howard trying to find the one

164:37

>> like in a in a beat. That's hilarious.

164:39

>> But the first time I used a number

164:41

system was with with Hourback.

164:43

>> Oh, really?

164:44

>> Yeah. Cuz Dan, like his house band for a

164:48

long time was the remaining members of

164:50

the Memphis Boys who played on like Son

164:52

of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield.

164:54

>> Oh wow.

164:55

>> And like U Suspicious Minds, that kind

164:57

of thing. Uh Jean Chrisman was 80 years

165:00

old playing drums. Um Bobby Wood,

165:03

keyboard player, Billy Sanford. And his

165:06

second session in Nashville was Pretty

165:07

Woman and he wrote the riff.

165:10

>> Oh wow. So I walk in, I was early to the

165:13

session and they were still they were

165:15

finishing up their first session of the

165:16

day which was John Prime and I walked

165:19

in. It was just like whoa.

165:22

>> Wow.

165:22

>> And Dan was like Marcus to get his ass

165:25

in here and play some slide guitar. So

165:27

they threw a chart in front of me. I

165:29

just had to pretend I knew what was

165:31

going on. You know, that's where you got

165:33

to rely on your ear.

165:36

But it's conversational, too. Like if

165:38

you don't really know what's going on,

165:39

like you don't want to say much.

165:42

>> Yeah,

165:43

>> right. That's fascinating, man.

165:46

>> I'm scared of music.

165:48

>> Not Not really, but I'm scared of

165:50

practicing it. I'm I'm scared of

165:52

learning it because I I just feel like

165:54

it would be very rewarding.

165:56

>> It is.

165:56

>> And I' I'd get very obsessed.

165:59

>> Yeah.

166:00

>> Something to it.

166:01

>> Yeah. Well, listen, man. I'm glad

166:03

there's people out there like you doing

166:05

it,

166:05

>> man. I'm I'm just thankful.

166:08

>> Well, that's the best attitude to have.

166:11

That's what I think. I think gratitude

166:13

is the best attitude to have.

166:15

>> Any anyone that's doing what they

166:16

actually want to do,

166:18

>> what's going to propel you forward and

166:20

and keep it going is probably gratitude.

166:22

>> Yeah.

166:23

>> Just be happy that like you're able to

166:25

do one of the coolest [ __ ] things in

166:27

the world for a living.

166:29

>> Kind of amazing.

166:31

>> Just And don't be an [ __ ]

166:33

>> Don't be an [ __ ] That's it. You'd be

166:35

surprised how hard it is to follow that

166:36

one.

166:37

>> I know, right? A lot of people fail.

166:39

Well, thank you, Marcus. Thanks for

166:40

being here, brother. It was fun. I

166:42

>> thanks for having me.

166:45

>> Anytime. Let's do it again. All right.

166:47

Bye, everybody.
