>> Hello camera. We can use headphones. Oh,
no. We don't need them.
>> Okay.
>> We don't What? Whatever you do.
>> We have to wear your sweet hat. I don't
want to [ __ ] it up. There you go.
>> Just got it. Look, we got an American
flag. We got a skull. We got camo. What
the [ __ ] else do you want? Are you
American or not?
>> Oh, nice, dude. You're all in for 250.
The 250th anniversary.
>> It's also the only socks I brought on
this trip somehow. So, I wear them every
day now.
>> You only brought one pair or one style?
>> No. One pair of socks and no underwear.
>> Oh god. I've done that before. We have
to wash your socks in the sink
>> with shampoo with hotel shampoo
>> and then wear them when they're wet.
>> And it's like I went on a run here. It
is muggy.
>> Oh yeah, baby.
>> Sweating my ass off.
>> That's the fear of this weekend at the
UFC. Um cuz it's east coast it gets very
muggy
>> in DC. So these guys are all working out
outside right now. I saw video of Aean
Zahabi working out outside and Ilia
Tapori is working out outside and
>> you know you have to feel that that
heavy heavy air. It changes things.
>> Oh yeah man. I remember when I was a kid
I went to the Olympic training center in
Colorado Springs.
>> I see those thunderstorms dude.
>> Oh yeah. We're [ __ ]
>> [ __ ] There is a a canopy that's over
the cage. They put a canopy over the
cage.
>> Well, if lightning hits that, that's not
good.
>> Well, if it hits the canopy, I think
we're okay.
>> I mean,
>> I think I'm more worried about a
terrorist attack than I am [ __ ]
lightning.
>> No, that's true.
>> But I probably should be more worried
about lightning. Um I actually have
friends that have been hit by lightning.
We do. Remy Remy got hit by lightning.
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> So, I know that was full.
>> I don't know anybody's been hit by a
terrorist attack.
>> Got hit the other day, I think,
>> by lightning. It was Yeah, we had you
crazy storms here, you know.
>> You playing golf?
>> No, but I was outside. I thought the
storm was over and I was out on my
balcony and I was like, "Wow, this is
cool."
>> Oh, that's not a good spot to be.
>> One hit. I'm 500 ft in the sky. I'm
already up there and then it it hit and
I started hearing sizzling near me. I'm
like, "Holy [ __ ] I got to get inside.
I'm
>> like electricity sizzling.
>> What the [ __ ] is that? Where is it?
>> Oh my god, that's so scary. That's such
a [ __ ] up way to go." Do you ever see
that one video where the guy is walking
down the street and he gets hit by
lightning? He wakes up, walks down the
street a little bit further. He's
recovering and he gets hit again.
>> Dude got hit by lightning twice in like
I don't know if it's time lapse or what.
I don't know how long he was out for cuz
it's like one of those ring cams that
catches him.
>> This guy got [ __ ] cooked twice.
>> You know you're having a bad day.
>> I forget what Remy said happened to him
after he got hit, but I remember his
hearing was [ __ ] up for a long time or
something. Something like that. Yeah, we
uh I was we do the mountains back home
like run them and there's we were up on
Diamond Peak, me and Tanner last year
and a storm, you know, kind of like the
weather report like having some clouds
or whatever. It wasn't supposed to be
thunderstorms, but you could hear kind
of growling and you're like, "God, is
that coming this way?" And it doesn't
have to be that close. I mean, I think I
think lightning can hit from 10 miles
away.
>> Really?
>> Yes, it can go that it can go sideways.
So anyway, if you see that building, you
should get off the top of a mountain,
right? Well, me and Tanner were up there
and we're still wanting to get to summit
and then bomb off. Well, we're up there
and he goes he goes, "Dad," he goes,
"Watch." And he had we had trekking
poles and he had them like this and they
were they were like ticking like
electricity.
>> Electricity was in his trekking poles.
>> Then we I said, "Let's get the [ __ ] off
this thing." And so we bombed off and
there's these kids down that were like
they said should we go up and I said I'd
wait a little bit and the girl's hair
was standing up.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh my god. That's so crazy.
>> Yeah. It is that.
>> Yeah. So they this guy died in Florida
last year in what they call blue sky
lightning.
>> What?
>> Yeah. It can it jumped from several
miles away.
>> Wow.
>> You just stand on the beach. It was a
blue sky above. storm is near
>> and I think it can go I know I looked it
up after that cuz I was like well I need
to know I'm in the mountains all the
time.
>> His death nonetheless serves a grim mind
of Florida led the US in both lightning
fatalities 12 and strikes per square
mile 76.
Holy [ __ ]
>> By the way, did you see that guy in
Florida that uh he was run from the cops
and he got killed by an alligator?
>> No.
>> Did you see that one?
>> Uhuh.
>> Dude, it's body cam footage. The cops
got the gun out and he's he's like,
"Stop, stop, stop." The guy's running.
He's going in the water and all of a
sudden, boom.
>> Like, right.
>> I'd rather get shot.
>> I'd rather get shot. Rather get shot and
killed by a [ __ ] dinosaur. Oh my god.
>> You're going to get shot. You're the
bullet's going to hurt like [ __ ] You're
going to be in shock. You're going to
realize you're bleeding out. You're
going to have to say, "I wish I was a
better person. I'm going to miss my
family."
>> But that [ __ ] alligator is going to
take a while to kill you. It's going to
roll with you. is going to drag you
under the water. You're going to realize
you can't get free. You're going to try
to poke its eyes. It's not going to
work.
>> [ __ ]
>> It's going to be a miserable existence
till it's over.
>> Do you see that one video of a dude? He
got attacked by an alligator. Uh lost
his arm. So, it bit his [ __ ] arm off
and he made his way back home. So, he
they're they're like talking to him like
right when he got out of the swamp. and
he's got one arm and he he looked like
>> there's not a chance in hell he was
sober during any of this experience. He
looked like he had been meed up since
the [ __ ] 12th grade.
>> Oh my god.
>> This dude Yeah. This is the dude.
He
>> just [ __ ] lost his stump.
>> Yeah, that's where I
>> He wanted for three [ __ ] days with
one arm.
>> Oh my god.
>> Well, first of all, how do you not bleed
out?
>> I know. That's what I was going to say.
Keep pressure on that.
>> What did he say? What was he saying?
>> What was he saying?
>> On my right hand side. So I went to swim
and she got she got my forearm. So I
grabbed her like this and like she's
trying to roll but she snapped her head.
So So my arm went backwards like this
completely.
>> He says he fought for his life.
>> She drugged me under three times comes
in so important. He says he fought for
his life. I could just imagine them in
an editing bay.
>> Should I do that again? Is that good?
No.
>> I know. He says he fought for his life.
>> Yeah, we got that part with the no arm.
We I went ahead and assumed that
>> he [ __ ] wandered through alligator
and snakeinfested swamp for three
[ __ ] days.
>> Thanks for telling us what we need to be
believing here that
>> you know when I went alligator hunting
out there a few years ago. You know that
alligator that we shot that's in the
front.
>> Bro, they're everywhere. If you ever
want to come, it's really fun. You know,
I know you don't do much hunting outside
of bow hunting,
>> but they need to be killed. They're
they're vastly overpop populated,
>> but you can't do a bow.
>> You can, but it's
>> Yeah. Well, that's like everything.
>> It's pretty sketchy. But this this, you
know, these killed alligators with a bow
in Florida.
>> You You just got to catch them in the
right spot. You got to basically hit
them like right behind the head. And I
think you'd probably hit them with a
fixed blade, right?
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> Iron wheel or something.
>> There's You got to brain them. Yeah. So
there's like a bump back there. Then
it's like halfway in between the eye and
the bump. Something like that.
>> So you want to be like 20 yards [ __ ]
exit right in there.
>> For sure. The good thing about that, if
you [ __ ] up and just kind of ricochet,
it's going to be fine. You know what I
mean? It's like it's not making if you
go for the lungs and miss hit it in the
stomach, that's not good. It's going to
be pretty sick and miserable death. But
>> it probably still live. Those [ __ ]
things are such monsters. They're such
monsters. I was saying, you know, we've
killed bear up at Kip killed a bear up
at the rivets with three legs. I'm just
like,
>> how?
>> One of them will eat the other one's
leg.
>> They'll bite their [ __ ] legs off.
>> But like, how do you you know,
>> how do you survive?
>> Yeah, we have to get antibiotics for
like a hangail.
>> I think our uh whole biome is probably
all [ __ ] up from washing it all the
time.
>> Yeah, probably.
>> I mean, it completely makes sense,
right? It's like,
>> yeah,
>> animals don't seem to get a whole lot of
infections like we do, unless they're
farm animals,
>> right?
>> Or like occasionally, well, it happens
all the time in the rut, right? Like
when you're dressing an animal, you find
all these holes in the side of it that
are like [ __ ] I remember one time one
of the elk that we shot at Toahone had
his back leg was just filled with pus.
Like the whole back, it was all pus cuz
he had gotten stabbed. It's usually in
that back because usually they turn
because they know they're getting their
ass kicked and so it's in their hind
quarter. It's like the the dominant bull
gets a jab in before they go.
>> And you've seen those tahone bulls,
those 1100 lb [ __ ]
>> Imagine one of those stabbing you in the
head.
>> No. And also if you see antlers there
that are broke because they're so heavy.
>> Like there's that bone is so thick for
their antlers. If a bull's break,
imagine the force required to break
that. And imagine that going right up
your ass.
>> God, for my camera guy, that'd be a
dream. But for most of us now,
>> they find them, you know, with these
holes in them. Like when when you shoot
them and you find out like what they've
been through. Like no wonder why they
barely moved when they got hit with an
arrow.
>> Yeah.
>> They probably didn't even know. Like
when two bulls are fighting and then one
of them gets hit with an arrow, they
barely react.
>> No, they'd be like, "What? That what was
that fly landed on?"
>> That's crazy. They're just so just
locked into war.
>> Especially if you like get in between
the ribs and don't hit anything,
>> right? Just slices right through.
>> Just like that bull would be like, "Ow,
>> wait, what?
>> What was that? Nothing."
>> And all of a sudden, woo, I'm feeling
woozy.
>> Yeah.
>> Then it's over.
>> Did you find that video? See if you can
find the video of the guy with the body
cam footage getting killed by the
alligator.
>> Wasn't very good. Like, it's hard to see
it.
>> You can see a little bit though. I just
think it's exciting.
>> It's just
>> You love watching chaos on online.
>> I don't know why, but I do. Give me some
Put the headphones on there. See what
>> I like the music.
>> Okay,
>> so here it is. The cops's got his gun
out. Oh, this isn't a very good Yeah.
>> See, the cop's got his gun out and he's
like trying to think of what to do and
this dude's getting jacked.
>> Oh, there goes the alligator to him.
[ __ ]
>> Yeah. Oh, did you see that line of the
alligator?
>> Back that up a little bit so you can see
it. So, the dude's trying to swim away
and look at the alligator. Boom. That's
a wrap, son.
>> Did he put his hands up here?
>> I don't think so. I think he just So,
right there.
>> Back it up a little bit more. So, you
see the guy swimming away
>> on this one. Maybe.
>> What's that?
>> It's a different version.
>> Good Samar.
>> Oh, no. The same lady narrating.
>> That's when a gator
>> That's when a gator slammed right
towards him. That's not good.
>> Of his arms. I mean, it was a full-on
attack.
>> It was a fullon attack. Like as if what?
Halfway attack.
>> Oh, they were fighting.
>> It's a [ __ ] dinosaur.
>> There was another story
>> in Florida a few years back where a guy
was ch running from the cops. I think uh
it was a high-speed chase. Gets to a
bridge, stops the car, throws it in
park, jumps off the bridge, boom,
alligator gets him. Literally like
landed right on a [ __ ] alligator. But
that's the reality of the water. All the
fresh water in Florida is filled with
alligators. They have to check
Disneyland all the time or Disney World.
They have to check it all the time.
Remember a little kid got killed there a
few years ago?
>> Imagine you take your kid to [ __ ]
Disney World and it gets killed by a
dinosaur.
>> Rough. Whoa. And also it's like you know
how I don't know you have dogs but are
they ever around when you're eating and
like something falls on the ground?
They're always checking the ground.
Well, that's what alligators do in the
water. They're just sitting there just
chilling out. They hear a little splash.
They're like, "Oh, like a dog. Was that
a a crumb hitting the the floor at the
dinner table?" Exactly.
>> So, they over there and they'll just eat
whatever hit the water.
>> Especially if something seems like it's
struggling
opportunists.
>> Yeah. They're So, they're just chilling
just waiting for [ __ ] to hit the water,
which is that's what fishing is too. You
know, you see that the the flies
hatching, you try to match it, try to
put it on there, and like they're like,
"Okay, got one to hit the water." But
yeah, alligators are masters of taking
advantage of opportunity. And every once
in a while, some comes off a bridge and
hey,
>> big meal.
>> It's really shocking how many of them
there are in in the Everglades. It's
like, you know, I went uh I guess it was
three years ago, and when we were there,
it's like everywhere you look, you have
to look for an alligator. It's it's like
nothing I've ever seen. Like I I thought
it'd be hard to find them. I thought
like we'd go out there and you know, you
look around, you probably glass a
little, see eyeballs pop up. No, they're
[ __ ] all over the water.
>> Like how many would you see?
>> We saw 15, 20, maybe more. Maybe 30. You
see like uh some movement on the water
and then they dunk under and you're in
the [ __ ] swamp, man. It's sketchy as
[ __ ]
>> You know, the whole the whole
>> It's very weird. It's very weird because
you're like this is a mess. Yeah.
>> Like, oh, this is infested. Like you
you're infested by dinosaurs. And then
you go an hour and a half later, you're
in Miami having a steak, drinking a nice
pino noir. You know, you think you're in
civilization. You're you're [ __ ] a
half a day's drive from monsters,
>> an infested jungle filled with monsters.
>> And imagine if you weren't in a boat.
Like, what if what if you were just
somehow something happened to the boat?
>> Oh, you're [ __ ] Yeah.
>> What would you do if like the boat sank
out there?
>> Well, we weren't in a boat.
>> Okay.
>> We we drove out. We were with with
guides and we drove out in trucks
>> and they know like where the lake areas
are where the you know, it's very dense
out there. It's very thick. It's just
hot and muggy and
>> and these [ __ ] just boop.
>> You see them pop up. You see the
eyeballs pop up. You see some motion.
But you [ __ ] see them everywhere. And
then you look around at how big the
Everglades is and you go, "How many of
them are out here?"
>> Yeah.
>> Because it's not like we found the honey
spot, right? You know what I mean? It's
like the whole Everglades
>> and there when I was a kid, you know, I
lived down there in Florida when I was
uh 11 years old from 11 to 13. I lived
in Gainesville
>> and there's alligators back then, but
they were endangered
>> and so you you weren't allowed to kill
them and so they would kill people's
dogs and [ __ ] I remember this lady in
my neighborhood, her dog got jacked. She
was walking her dog by Lake Alice and it
just snatched her dog and took it away.
>> Jeez.
>> This is like the late '7s. And um we
were feeding them marshmallows. So you
go to the dock and you throw
marshmallows and alligators would come
up and eat the marshmallows.
>> And it was, you know, it was weird. It
was like kind of cool that they're
there. Freaks you out a little bit, but
they weren't dangerous,
>> right?
>> Cut to all these years later now because
no one hunted them cuz they basically
were making shoes out of them back in
the day. They almost hunted them to
extinction and uh they should probably
start that again.
>> They probably we need to bring alligator
shoes
>> like back in like the 70s like that was
the cool shoes like in the pool halls
where I used to play pool like the old
guys would talk about how a guy was
really dressed up. He had his gators on.
He looked good. He had a nice suit. He
had his gators on. His gators like
>> I got gator boots.
>> Alligator shoes.
>> Luc Casey. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Gator boots seem to be a different
thing because it kind of almost makes
sense cuz like al like you get boots
that are made out of like snake skin and
ostrich and like that's kind of a cowboy
boot thing but
>> alligator dress shoes is very you got
your gators on like very hard to get
polish it nice black. Oh yeah,
>> remember?
>> I love that,
>> bro. I got to apologize to Ric Flair. He
got uh scammed.
>> So, some some person reached out and
said that they were representing this
podcast and they were going to h that he
was going to come on the podcast.
>> I think uh Tim Dylan, this happened with
him, too. Um it didn't happen with him
where they got him, but
>> they send you an email saying that
they're going to have you come on a
podcast, but they need your bank
information. Yeah, they'll pay you.
Sometimes it's like 3,000 bucks because
I've got those, too.
>> And what it really is is they're just
going to empty your bank account
>> and uh it's just a scam. So, if you get
an email like that from me, it's not
real. Sorry, Ric Flair.
>> So, Ric Flair, I don't know if they he
lost his money, but Tim Dylan, they
tried to get him on uh Amy Polar show.
So, it's that's the scam. The scam was
they reached out to he talked about it
on his podcast. They reached the this
scammer reached out said, "I'm
representing the Amy Polar Show. we
would love to have you on. And he was
like, that doesn't seem like that would
be a good thing for Amy Polar.
>> I don't think I'm a good guest. He was
like, he was like, I don't think this is
real. And then it says, you know, we
need your bank account information. And
so many people just like don't think
about it or they're boomers or
>> well it they make it seem legit cuz I
know um Pat McAfee I got an email from
them about coming on the show and I'd
been kind of communicating with some of
those guys before and so I'm like maybe
I mean for me it's like a big deal like
ESPN and Pat McAfee he's like to me he
reminds me of you. He just kind of does
what says whatever he wants does if the
bosses say whatever he's like [ __ ] off.
I I just love that unfiltered like true
thoughts and
>> he's a guy that's got [ __ ] you money
that says [ __ ] you. That's what I love.
>> It's just it's beautiful. So I mean I
celebrate that's that's a you know first
amendment in his glory right there.
>> And he seems like a genuine good dude.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I don't know him but it's
like
>> I don't know him either, but when you
hear a guy talk enough
>> Yeah. Yeah. You can assume or you can
like put the pieces puzzle together but
and they've wore my stuff on there. So,
I'm like, "Oh, maybe this is real,
right?" And
>> so, the guy I asked at uh he's just a AO
uh he's just a great guy, but he uh he
said, "No, it's not not legit." But they
had me cuz it was like it almost seemed
real.

>> Yeah, somebody asked me like, hey, you
know, they said, well, they said, uh,

>> just scumbags out there,
>> unfortunately.
>> If you say you have some elk meat you'll
share. That might be real.
>> Nope.
>> Oh,
>> I'll share with friends and family.
That's it, dude. I giving it out to
weirdos.
>> But, uh, you're bringing some bear meat.
>> I know. And dude, you're I said you're
in trouble. We got
>> You got a lot of notes.
>> We got notes. I got I got [ __ ] we're
going to discuss today.
>> They're like I had a scientist on
yesterday. He had less notes.
>> Less. I know. I'm I'm ready. Well, we
had some fun.
>> First of all, before we go any further,
what's going on with your tooth? Why you
got a gold tooth? I love it.
>> Yeah, it's uh Well, it was it's kind of
a joke, but I've been obsessed
with like perfect teeth, right? And
>> that's like Adam Green shoes always
busting your balls.
>> And you know, I did like the the white
strips and all this other [ __ ] And like
I always cared about what just probably
cared too much. So now I don't care what
I look like. But um
>> what what changed?
>> Uh I don't know. I I've just like been
playing the game too long. Now it's just
like I'm just done. And and the game's
not over unfortunately. Even though I'm
saying I don't want to play anymore.
Game still goes on. So it's like I'm
still part of it. But anyway, I was
getting this. Okay. Long story short, um
I had I broke this in high school. So I
had a fake two since high school. And uh
yeah, this is like long story. Kissing
this girl, basketball, hit him in the
back of the head, broke the tooth.
Anyway,
>> he broke the teeth on her teeth.
>> Yeah. So, she had pieces of teeth in her
lip. Um
>> Oh, that's crazy.
>> Oh, yeah. It was Yeah, it was uh Jack
Dero did that. But anyway, um we uh so I
got it fixed, got a few different
iterations of it, finally found one that
looked good. Well, I go in there. I
hadn't been to the dentist in forever
because I just what hate going. And they
said, "Oh, you got a a a cavity under
that." what composite is what it was
called. And I'm like, okay, cool. So, we
got to take it off, fix a cavity, then
you get whole another one. And I'm like,
whatever. Um, so I go back in there and
next next appointment they take it off,
no cavity. But now we just have this
like whittleled down regular tooth just
like a like a post of a tooth.
>> So, because they removed the cavity
>> because they there was no cavity.
>> There was no cavity. Jesus Christ.
>> They thought on the X-ray there was. So
they had the the anyway the cap or the
composite's gone. So they said, "Well,
you need to go and match the color of
your teeth for your new fa fake tooth
and spring in in Springfield. Swing by
this Springfield um whatever they do
there for for dentistry." So I go in
there and they said uh the girl there
goes, "Hey, my husband Nate makes some
really cool gold teeth. He does a really
good job. Do you want a gold one?" And
uh I was like, "Wait." And so she's
like, "We'll do a white one, too, but a
gold one might just be fun." And then
I'm like, "Yeah, it'd be fun." So I told
Trace, "I'm just gonna do it just a day
or two." So this has been months now.
>> You going to keep it?
>> I don't know. I kind of like it.
>> I kind of like it, too.
>> I kind of like it. It's like everybody
>> [ __ ] it.
>> You know, everybody's got regular teeth.
Nobody's got gold teeth or something.
>> Not anymore. It was a thing back in the
day. Remember Mike Tyson had a gold
tooth for a while. Well, this is like my
savings account cuz I figure that I'm
going to lose everything cuz I'm such a
[ __ ] But I'll still have this. I can
still
>> pull that sucker out. You can buy a
cheeseburger.
>> Yeah. If I get in a bind, right? It's
like, hey, well, I got this.
>> I have one crown. I have one fake tooth
back here. I cracked one of my mers. I
had a root canal and then um it like so
then they had to put like a crown on it
and then it cracked. And so now I got to
get another one cuz I got a little piece
of it missing. I think I'm going to get
a gold one.
>> Nice.
>> Get a gold one right here.
>> Do it. Do it.
>> I'm gonna Now you inspired me.
>> It's Also, it's in the back so you won't
see it all the time till I
>> until I give you a big cheese.
>> Yeah. Well,
>> I'm going to get it. I'm copying you.
>> Good. When you're cracking up, you
always do a big smile. So So that'll be
when people see it. That'll be fun.
>> Fortunately, I laugh a lot. I know.
>> I live a happy life.
>> Yeah, you do. You're You're crushing it
lately.
>> Oh, just keep keep your foot on the gas.
>> Same old stuff, right? I can't believe I
look at your guests and it's just like
nonstop, dude. It's like it's people see
like all your success. You'd think most
people would be like, "Okay, I'm good.
I'll you foot off the gas." You don't.
>> No,
>> you keep I mean, you you work your ass
off.
>> Well, you very rarely get an opportunity
in life to do anything like what I can
do. And very few human beings get this
opportunity. And I feel insanely
fortunate and also um very responsible
like I'm responsible for this whole
thing. I have to keep it rolling. I know
people are addicted to it. They love it.
They want the variety. They want
scientists. They want guys like you.
They want athletes and fighters. They
want all this [ __ ] They want to hear
all these different people talk, all
these different perspectives. And it's a
huge obligation, you know. And I feel
like connected to all these people. I
know I don't talk to them all the time.
I don't know what to say, but I feel it.
I know it and I'm dedicated. So, I just
keep my foot on the gas. I never I never
say, "Oh, I can't believe I have to do
this. Oh, I can't believe I have to show
up." I just
>> Yeah. I always try to reset every day
and go, "God, I'm so lucky." It's so
fortunate. And then, you know, when you
have that opportunity, I think it's a
terrible tragedy, a travesty to not
capitalize on it, to not like make the
most out of it because I know that it's
like very few human beings in the world
Well, I mean, how many people have ever
had the number one podcast? It's always
gone like back and forth. I've had it
for like six years now. Yeah. Six or
seven. Might be seven years now.
>> And it's like
>> I'm not I'm not keeping my foot off the
gas. I'm going to do exactly what I'm
doing. I'm going to do it my best. I'm
going to keep doing it until the [ __ ]
wheels fall off. That's like people have
said like with bow hunting and stuff
like if you you know you work your ass
off to to get this place where you're
respected, right? And then there's going
to be people that want your position.
And like with your attitude, my attitude
too is like
>> [ __ ] come get it.
>> Yeah. Come get it.
>> Come try to take it cuz I'm working my
ass off still.
>> We were hanging out somewhere and you
said one of the coldest things to this
dude. This dude was uh we were all just
[ __ ] around. I I really even forget
who it was cuz it didn't matter. And he
said, "Uh, yeah, and after that I'm
going to challenge you to a race." And
you go, "Good luck with that. It was so
cold." You go, "Yeah." Like, you didn't
even remotely take it seriously. It was
like a fiveyear-old saying they're going
to kick my ass. Like, okay, good luck
with that.
>> Yeah. I mean, you get you get confident
when it's something you do like
>> Yeah. further down the line than
anybody. Yeah. And so if you're going to
take my spot,
>> right?
>> I mean, this been a grind, dude. 40
years.
>> Yeah. The whole taking the spot thing is
so stupid because everybody's on their
own little journey. And you could look
at it in terms of I'm going to take that
guy's spot. And maybe that's your
motivation.
And uh that's cool and all that, but
there's a negative attached to that
motivation. If you don't have an actual
personal beef with someone and you hate
them just because they're in a position
that you wish you are, you're wasting
energy. I know this sounds like very
hippie, but it's true. like you're that
energy instead should be celebrating
that there's people like that out in the
world that do inspire you and are out
there pushing themselves to like extreme
limits and just and excelling at
whatever dis whether it's [ __ ]
playing guitar or doing standup comedy.
You should look at those people like,
"Wow, what are they doing that I can do
to make myself more successful or better
or what where where can I get to a
point? How can I get to a point where
I'm like them?"
>> Mhm.
>> But most people don't do that. Most
people like, "Fuck that guy. That guy
[ __ ] sucks. This sucks. And [ __ ] it,
he's a [ __ ] and he's a this and he's
using steroids and he's [ __ ] lying
about how many miles he runs." And it's
there's always going to be people like
that. And I'm telling my message to the
haters.
>> I I was a hater when I was a kid. I was
100% a hater. 100%. Like all the other
people like when I was fighting,
everybody else was a [ __ ]
>> They were all [ __ ] unless they were
weren't in my weight division. If they
weren't in my weight division, then I
could celebrate him. But everybody in my
weight division was a [ __ ] That guy's
I'm going to [ __ ] that guy up. He's got
nothing. I I could never celebrate
people. Even like national champions,
people with the I couldn't celebrate
them,
>> right?
>> It's a waste. It's a waste of energy.
and you get more energy out of looking
at what they do well and analyzing it
and being inspired by it. It's a hard
struggle because your ego wants you to
compare yourself to them and find flaws
in them. You know, [ __ ] that guy, [ __ ]
this and [ __ ] that.
>> It's a waste of energy. You have to be
selfish with your energy. Your energy is
very critical. It's everything in life.
Everything you do in life is dependent
upon you having energy. And for you to
waste your energy in some stupid
egodriven direction just because you're
too weak to recognize like, "Oh, this
guy can kick my ass. Oh, this guy uh
could shoot a bow further than me. Oh,
this guy runs way farther than I can
run. Oh, this guy's way better at
playing guitar than me. What the [ __ ]
can I do to get where he's at?" Yeah,
>> you got to just that's a it's a trap
because not only does it take away
energy, it takes away progress.
>> It takes away energy from you investing
in you being better in the future.
>> It's bad all around.
>> Yeah.
>> There's no good to it at all.
>> No, I I I agree with that. And it's like
that that energy is a resource that we
have to protect. I think that when you
talk about like you talk about all the
outliers that you you have this
conversation with or sit across the
table from you and I think your attitude
and how you look at things like in that
lens that makes people want to come on
like you said you listed all these
people and people want to hear what they
have to say. People want to hear what
they have to say to you because you have
a way of drawing out uh more information
in a different way because your attitude
is so pure. I think like even if you
didn't believe what you said, it would
still if if you just said like I want to
be positive, but your questions were all
negative like in tone or like
confrontational in tone. People wouldn't
want to be on here like they want to be
on here now. You being positive and
looking at things like how can I get
better? How can I grow? How can we all
learn and and u um get better from this?
That's the lens that you put the
information that comes out through these
microphones out into the world, which
means people are attracted to you.
People are attracted to the guests you
have. People are attracted to the show.
And so, yeah, that energy we even though
even if we don't admit it, we're
attracted to it.
>> You know what I mean? You seek it out.
And um I know when I'm I like to hear
people paint a picture of something that
gives me hope. Mhm.
>> I don't want to hear about how [ __ ] up
everything is all the time,
>> right?
>> I want hope. How can I have hope?
Because hope gives me purpose and I'm
like, "Okay, I can do this. I can I got
get to work and this will this will pay
off."
>> Yeah.
>> So, I I think it's like it's more
complicated
than we than we think, but there's a
reason why you're number one and have
been number one, and it's your attitude
and it's it's how you speak to people.
It's that little that it's also I got in
really early, right? So I got in at like
2009
and there was hardly anybody doing it
back then. Yeah. So you could you could
also I wasn't as famous back then. So
you could do it for a long time before
anybody noticed you were doing it so you
could get good at it.
>> So you could hone your craft,
>> right? You didn't have a bunch of
comments that you had to sift through.
You didn't have to You just did it.
>> If you started now, maybe you wouldn't
be number one.
>> Oh, I wouldn't be. You know what I mean?
>> There's so many there's I mean how many
podcasts are there now?
>> A lot.
>> Yeah. Like
>> what's the number?
>> 10 mill 5 million.
>> Check those like seven or eight million.
>> It probably keeps growing every week
because everybody thinks they can do it
because everybody can talk.
>> Well, and and the people starting now,
they might be you down the road.
>> Oh yeah, for sure.
>> There might be some, you know,
>> Well, they'll be incredible
conversationalist that
>> they'll be them. They'll be a different
thing than me, but they'll be amazing at
it.
>> But you had because you had this insight
or you know, you saw Tom Green or
whoever it was that like, oh, maybe I
could do that. You started this process
of this decades of honing your craft to
where it is now and now you've been on
top for six, seven years, right? And
it's just because of all those reps that
you did. It's It's no different than
anything we always talk about.
>> It's everything.
>> It's reps.
>> Yeah. Everything is reps. It's just like
you want to get good at something,
>> keep fail, keep doing it. Archery is
reps. Pool is reps. Martial arts are
reps. It's all reps. It's all
experience. And it's all like being like
super focused on what you're trying to
do, whatever it is.
>> Yeah. I think like I even think of, you
know, I love Sean Ryan and he's has an
incredible podcast, but I I I get I get
why this is happening. He's pretty down
kind of on a lot right now just with
government with Israel with Epstein with
all the which is by design almost they
want us to be hopeless and I I don't
want to be a conspiracy theorist but
they do want us hopeless so because we
can be controlled but Sean his podcast
lately has taken more I don't want to
say dark because it's more real but it's
like it's darker so I just think that
attracts
less people in a different type of
person than yours. You have every reason
to be dark about things and you are
sometimes, but that's not the theme of
you.
>> Well, I think these it's like first of
all, people that aren't comedians,
they're very they're limited
>> in in what they can talk about and the
way they can talk about things. You
know, being a comedian is there's a
little bit of a safety net. You could
always like, "Yeah, what the [ __ ] I'm a
comedian. We're [ __ ] around."
>> You get a little get got get a little
you can write it off a little bit. It's
also there's that's real in terms of
like uh another layer of conversation.
Like there's a layer of conversation
that is commonly known as talking [ __ ]
And talking [ __ ] is a thing that you do
where you're with your boys and you say
things that you don't really mean
because they're funny and you make each
other laugh. You talk about how many
dicks you sucked last night. You know
what? Why is your mouth so sore? You
know, like you you [ __ ] around. You say
things. you you're silly. You know, you
talk about, oh, you know, it's hard
doing all this meth, you know, you don't
you're not really doing meth, right?
There's you're you're not really having
gay sex. You're [ __ ] around. And when
you can't [ __ ] around, there's a whole
realm of the conversation that's
missing.
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> And there's a whole like
like get out of jail pass. Like, let's
have fun. Let's loosen up a little here.
You can't loosen up. You're serious,
>> right? And then where does the
conversation go? back to the serious
part which changes it.
>> It's also the serious stuff is what gets
engagement.
>> Yeah.
>> And that's a little bit of a trap where
if you only focus on the bad of the
world and it's not saying you should
ignore the bad of the world. You
certainly shouldn't. But if you only
focus on the bad of the world,
>> it's kind of a trap
>> because
>> it'll [ __ ] your head up too. You're just
swimming in negativity all the time.
>> That's what I see Shawn that's a feeling
I've got with Shawn lately. Whereas with
the differences with you, there's a
reset. There's always this reset back to
good. The message is good.
>> Yeah. I think
>> and I don't think you I don't I don't
think you that's not by design. That's
just who you are.
>> Yeah. No, it's not by design. It's just
uh that's how I think it's like you can
only dwell on negativity so much. Most
of your day is not negative. In fact,
yeah, it's there's things that you need
to be aware of and you need to be
prepare for them. And
>> the problem is is no, it's not. But our
voices are oftentimes negative. So it's
easy I if like if you get in that trap
where you're listening to negative and
you're thinking negative. It's a lot of
negative dude. Yeah.
>> So it's like knowing that you know I can
go down a negative rabbit hole pretty
easy. I try to avoid
waiting in that.
>> Well sometimes it's like you just get
fed up. You're like where the [ __ ] are
these Epstein files? Who the [ __ ] is
this? Why is this redacted? Where is who
the [ __ ] killed JFK? Like, come out with
it. What the [ __ ] Who [ __ ] killed
Charlie Kirk for real? Like, what is
that? Why is that [ __ ] story so
clouded in mystery? And why did they
pave over the [ __ ] ground right after
the the shooting? What the [ __ ] is going
on there?
>> See, now you're making me in a bad mood.
>> That's But that it's easy to do. It's
easy to do. It's easy to get locked up
in there.
>> Do you see Do you see my notes? Look at
my two on the very top.
>> What does it say? Stay positive. Be
nice. And what does that other one say?
You have terrible handwriting.
>> Be positive.
>> Oh, be nice. Be positive. Well, your
handwriting is terrible.
>> It is.
>> You should be a doctor.
>> But no, I have to remind myself like cuz
I if you start mentioning those things
that you just did
>> Oh, it's hard,
>> dude. I will [ __ ] lose my [ __ ]
because I'm so pissed.
>> I know.
>> It should be. And we we all we're all
pissed. We were all,
>> you know, we all thought that, you know,
all that stuff was going to be released
right after the election. It's going to
we're going to drain the swamp and find
all the pedophiles. Well, the the first
term was more like that. That's what
gave me hope for this term. The first
term there was some draining the swamp
going on. I felt then we had the Biden
disaster and now the second term has
been I don't even know what this is. I
don't even know what it is.
>> Well, it would have been a whole lot
different for first of all if we didn't
bomb Iran. I feel like we bombed him the
first time, we were good. The second
time was like even the first time I was
like what the [ __ ] are we doing?
>> Yeah. And then when they were saying
like, "This is it. The the the
escalation's over. We're going to work
this out." Like, "Oh,
>> yeah."
>> And the second time when we bombed him,
I was like, "Oh, [ __ ] great." Mhm.
>> Now, and the most people don't want it.
That's the real problem. Most people in
the country don't want it. Now, look,
I'm no [ __ ] foreign policy expert. I
don't know what's going on over there,
but I do know that all the people I know
that really support Israel above
everything else, they're [ __ ] super
happy about it. Mhm.
>> And I'm like, but all the people I know
that are like America first and or
people that are like no new wars that
really thought that we're going to
change things and this is all just for
money. We're not going to sacrifice
soldiers for [ __ ] money. Those people
are all upset. I don't know really
what's going on though. That's the
problem. And uh I I really wish I
understood Iranian politics more and the
the Iran Iranian military structure
because it seems like that's super
[ __ ] complicated. like they've been
preparing to be attacked like this
forever. And so they have like all these
layers of control. Like when this guy
gets taken out, new guys are like ready
to fill their spot. And then when we're
negotiating with the new guy, Israel
kills them. Like it's like the [ __ ] is
going on?
>> And then what happened yesterday? They
captured like 20 oil tankers.
>> Oh, did they? I didn't even see that.
>> Yeah, there was some I don't know. It
might be [ __ ] I just read it very
quickly on the toilet in one of the rare
weak moments where I traveled to X.
>> Yeah, it's uh
>> I mean, boy, I've been so healthy
lately. Last few months just staying off
of [ __ ] Instagram.
>> Really?
>> Staying off of Twitter, just not reading
anything.
>> Yeah,
>> they're not anything. But Instagram
started funneling me schizophrenics.
>> Oh,
>> I don't know how I follow one
schizophrenic. My name is Dolores. I am
the the the real granddaughter of JFK.
The gold that's in the basement is all
mine. They're trying to stuff [ __ ]
inside my vagina. They wake me up in the
middle of the night. Like crazy people.
Not just one, but like a whole [ __ ]
series of them. And I started getting
those a couple of weeks ago. And uh
again, I might spend like 10, 15
minutes, but it's all schizophrenic
people. I'm like, I got to get off of
this.
>> There's no reason.
>> It's interesting.
>> It's crazy.
>> That's what gets you hooked.
>> I got this one lady. She she uh was is a
she was a hooker and she's a crackhead
and she thinks everyone's a man. Like so
she she'll show photos of all these
different people. That's a [ __ ] man.
She's just she's just [ __ ] out to
lunch. One guy thinks he's the rightful
president of the United States and he
wears like this dirty old suit and you
can look at his eyes like he's out
there. The dude's gone. He lives in a
completely different dimension than we
do
>> and he's on Instagram.
I start watching like sometimes street
fights.
>> Oh, I watch a lot of those.
>> There's a lot of those out there. Or the
joke the pranks or the jokes or pets.
It's like
>> pets are cool.
>> And then it's just like
>> but they it's just a trap. It just keeps
you there
>> and then an hour's gone and you're like,
what did I do for an hour?
>> It's just terrible for you. But since
I've been really good about it, I've
just so much healthier when I take like
full days like days off.
>> I feel so much better. And I'm like,
remember when we were in Hawaii? We we
went to Hawaii a few years back and we
went bow hunting and for Axis deer on
Lai and uh I broke my phone. I don't
know if you remember this, but my phone
just started calling people. I'd be
like, "Look at this. This is crazy." I'd
hang up and start calling a new person.
Hang up. So, I had to get a new phone.
It took like three days. And
>> those are like three of the happiest
days of my life.
>> Yeah.
>> And and I'm like, "Oh, I should just get
rid of my phone." I was thinking that,
but I was like, "Oh, I can't wait for
till my phone gets here." Well, there's
stuff where it's really handy is taking
pictures of cool stuff.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> And capturing those memories. That's
>> Yeah. It's
>> And if you have a question. Yeah. I love
it for because I've always have a
question about something. I love that
Siri now you could just press Siri and
ask it a question like how many minutes
are in a month and it'll just tell you
like right like you'd be driving on the
car, you have a question, just press a
button and it gives you the answer. It's
[ __ ] nuts.
>> How many times did you have a question
you're just like I'll probably never
figure that out. Exactly. But now no
question goes
>> unanswered.
>> It's literally instantaneous,
>> you know, and uh you know, I'll use
perplexity all throughout the day to
just ask it questions cuz I'm just
driving around or I'm sitting at home
and I'm like, I wonder how that
happened. And just now, you know, like
instantaneously.
>> Yeah.
>> But the dealing with all the people
stuff,
>> that's that's where I checked out. I'm
like, I'm not interested in that. I
don't like it's like if you get a bowl
of soup and there's little pieces of
meat, but most of the soup is [ __ ]
>> All right, I would recommend not eating
that soup.
>> And that's what social media is like.
It's like I get some meat out of it here
and there. I get some interesting
stories about science and some new
discovery from the James Webb telescope.
Like, whoa, this is [ __ ] cool. And
it'll send me down a nice rabbit hole
where I'm like studying things and
getting excited about things. And then
I'll just deal with some [ __ ] cooks
and and crazy people and [ __ ] and
grifters and people that are mad that
people are white and people that are mad
that people are black and like oh
[ __ ] Christ.
>> It's exhausting.
>> It's too much.
>> It's exhausting. Yeah.
>> It's just it's just eating soup with
[ __ ] in it. Yeah.
>> It's just like it's not worth it.
>> Speaking of which, you brought in some
of that bear. Grab some of that, son.
So,
>> and so a lot of people are of the
opinion that black bear is not an edible
meat, and that is that is incorrect.
>> I've got a grizzly cooler here full of
all sorts of
>> people can't hear you unless you're on
that microphone.
>> Okay. Um,
>> give me some.
>> So, also this
>> No one can hear that either. You got to
get to the microphone.
>> Also, this
>> Put that thing down and have a seat.
>> Oh, there we go.
>> So, do you know who Casey Brooks is?
I've heard of the name.
>> So he killed a world record elk.
>> That's right. That giant. That thing is
crazy.
>> So he does this is like super hot stuff.
>> Oh,
>> here's what it's called. Everything you
need to know about Chilan
whatever. See
>> everything you know need to know about.
Well, it's all worn out.
>> I know. It's maybe on the other page.
>> But mighty Chilean chili.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. So it's a type of chili.
>> Yeah. You put that on like when you're
cooking steaks.
>> Where's that knife, Jamie? You got
here's one.
>> Thank you.
>> Look at that.
>> Oh, sweet. Oh, look at that [ __ ] elk,
man. Oh my god. Nuts.
>> That thing is literally nuts. What was
the score on that?
>> It was like 386 or something.
>> No, 486.
>> Or no, 486.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Like almost getting close to 500.
>> Yeah.
>> Wow. This smells strong.
>> Does it?
>> Oh my god.
>> Yeah.
>> So, these are the chilies. Oh, so this
is uh
>> Yeah. He said you don't need much.
>> It says
>> what did it say? 480.
>> It says sprinkle this [ __ ] on
everything.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> This is cool.
>> Yeah. So I I brought And also like
>> Do you know his son? His son is a really
good elk caller. I mean I don't know. I
know.
>> Oh, he makes calls.
>> Yeah. We don't usually mess around with
that.
>> Um I learned how to you do these just
last year.
>> His son is Bo Brooks.
>> I learned how to make a female el cuz I
had a little one that I blow on. So I
never learned how to use a read.
>> Yeah. the mouth read.
>> I definitely don't know how to make a
elk set with a tube. I'm [ __ ]
terrible.
>> Well, let me see that knife real quick.
My Yeah, this is the old packout skinner
from Montana knife.
>> But here's the good stuff right here.
So, we got some of this.
Tell me what you think of this.
>> I've had it the last time you brought it
from the same um
>> No, this is from this whites up in
Portland. And this is Ronnie. Ronnie's
the man, dude. Portland, Oregon has a
good wild game.
>> Yeah, I think it's more like Gresian
>> processor,
>> but it's so good.
>> Oh, that is good.
>> Tell me what you think of that.
>> That's fantastic.
>> Yeah, that Thank you, Ronnie. And then
this is uh
>> no tchinosis, right?
>> Tchinosis free.
>> Then this is I mean,
>> have you ever tested yourself for
trinosis? See if you have it. You might
already have it.
>> There's some bear jerky, too.
>> You might have it and ignored it.
>> So, the the jerky is so good. And then
also like this says Whites on it right
here. Whites country meats. So we got
sausage.
>> Oh, you made breakfast sausage.
>> Yeah. It's so good.
>> Nice.
>> Um and then we got some rendered bare
fat right here.
>> Brought you that. So you can cook with
that.
>> Oh, it's dark.
>> Yeah.
>> Why is it so dark?
>> I don't know.
>> Um
that's crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> Clay Nukem gave me some.
>> Did he? Yeah. Okay. Have you ever used
it?
>> Yeah, I cooked uh steaks with it.
>> Okay. It's great for searing steaks, you
know, just like even beef tallow. Yeah.
But it gives it a different flavor.
>> For sure. Definitely. So, he he did a
It's like And also like the the bear in
the spring, their fat is a little
different. So, it's it just reacts
differently like for make the pepperoni
and and rendering the fat. It just
reacts a little differently because
they've just come out of hibernation up
there. This is one of the big bear I
just killed.
>> And uh yeah, so it's just perfect timing
for I guess rendering fat and making
sausage. I was watching those videos
that Jen was making from bear camp.
>> Yeah.
>> Where she smoked that bear for like 24
hours.
>> Yeah.
>> So good.
>> God, it looked insane.
>> It looked like so good. They're like
she's like a gourmet chef now with bear.
>> Yeah. And then they had the meat church
guy up there this last week. Yeah.
>> And um so they were like, you know, bear
meat when you put a whole back ham on
the Trager. So she
>> she let it soak marinate for four days,
right? And I saw people saying, "Oh, if
you did shoe leather for four days, it'd
be good." Whatever. I'm just telling you
what what it was. Four days, then 20
hours of a slow cook on the Trager. Best
meat you've ever had. Just like
incredible. That's bear. And you know,
there's like people talk about the
settlers back in the day, they would eat
bear and just kill deer for hides to
make clothing because bear was superior
meat. So people have fallen into this
trap of like believing that bare meat
isn't good and it's amazing.
>> Well, it's because of Yogi.
>> Yeah.
>> Yogi [ __ ] us
>> probably.
>> Yeah. Yogi and the the one that tells
you not to start fires.
>> Who's that guy?
>> Smokey.
>> Smokey. Smokey the bear. Yogi.
>> Yeah,
>> they [ __ ] us.
>> Yeah, they did.
>> Then Disney. Disney [ __ ] us. You know,
if it wasn't for those um
anthropomorphizations of animals where
they turned them into sweet, you know,
beautiful creatures that talk to you.
>> Yeah.
>> We would have a completely different
idea of animals and be a much more
realistic idea of animals
>> for sure.
>> Which I think most hunters have. You
love them, you respect them, but
>> they all have to be managed.
>> I sent Whitney Cummings a video that
they got in um Santa Monica the other
day uh of a mountain line in someone's
backyard. big [ __ ]
>> just laying in the grass in this dude's
backyard in Santa Monica, man.
>> That's
>> Yeah, there I mean I don't know if you
know anymore, but
>> um I can't eat too much. People get
annoyed.
>> Oh yeah, it's true.
>> It's good though.
>> It's a That's a jalapeno cheddar.
>> How's it taste? Can you taste it?
>> The one the first one I had was jalapeno
cheddar. Yeah. It's [ __ ] great.
>> It's really good.
>> So good. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And I know what people saying. Oh,
you can make anything. Look at that.
That's the cat in the backyard.
>> Oh, man.
>> [ __ ] nuts, man. Look at his eyes.
Yeah,
>> [ __ ] you, man. [ __ ] you.
>> Yeah, it's uh
>> Meanwhile, they built a stupid bridge
for them and it's uh way over budget.
It's over hund00 million now for the
stupid [ __ ] bridge so they can cross.
We have to make sure that the monsters
can get across the highway safety.
>> I am of a completely different opinion.
I say, put one of those [ __ ] big ass
grills on your car like I have on my
Land Cruiser and let's hope we get a few
of them
>> so I don't kill people's dogs.
>> Mhm.
>> Look, it's right there
>> in the middle. Yeah, it's 14. This just
knocked it unfort.
>> That is bananas. Look where it is. Like
look how dense.
>> Look how dense the housing is there.
There's a mountain line right there.
>> And they think a mountain lion's going
to go find this bridge.
>> Well, they they probably will eventually
find the bridge.
>> I know.
>> But there's a bunch of retards that'll
still make their way across the highway
and they're supposed to get hit. That's
That's nature.
>> Yeah.
>> It's figure it out.
>> Figure it out
>> or die.
>> Yeah. Figure it out or die. There's too
many of them. They they're so
unrealistic about their mountain line
numbers.
>> Yeah,
>> there's way too many of them. They're
all over California because they don't
manage them.
>> That's what we talked Yeah, we talked
about that last time. And it's like I
just wonder what is, you know, what's
the goal? Because now, you know, I wore
the shirt today because now Public Land
is again back in the crosshairs. I don't
know if you saw that.
>> Yeah. What is going on?
>> This Mike Lee guy.
>> Yeah, that same guy.
>> Same [ __ ] guy from he he's trying to
like Utah guy, right?
>> The Utah guy. Um,
>> so right now it's like there's this this
bill that was going to be introduced. It
was like talking about wildfires
essentially. Um, but it's like uh it's
what he's done is he's tied in this
public land piece to it. Well, like they
always do. There's always these other
provisions tied in with all these bills.
Right. Right.
>> And uh you don't really know what you're
agreeing to or what you're not. Um, but
he he put in this uh roadless area
section because there's 400 or 45
million acres of roadless area that he
wants access to. Basically,
they're not saying this. They're saying
for some other reason, I think. Oh,
here's what they said. We have so many
acres of of roadless area that to fight
wildfires, we need roads. Okay. They
don't care about fighting wildfires.
It's resource extraction
>> or development, right?
>> Maybe development, but development's a
tough cell in a lot of those wilderness
areas. But what's not a tough
>> That's what they tried with this.
Remember remember the affordable housing
like oh just the areas
>> they tried to say that's what it was
that was supposedly affordable housing
which like years ago I went back and
talked to Jason Chafus. He was uh he was
a representative there in Utah. And I
went back there and spoke to him and be
at that time it was about uh surplus
acreage. So there's three million
surplus acres nobody's using.
>> Someone told me that has something to do
with the Mormon religion.
>> That the Mormon religion has a
philosophy about selling land that's
very different than our philosophy. It
might public land.
>> I'm not and I think
>> somebody told me that. See if there's
any reality to that that the Mormons
almost have like a mandate to try to
sell land.
>> Mhm.
>> I don't know if that makes any sense.
This is not my thought. Someone told me
this and I was like, "Wait, what?" And I
don't think I ever looked it up,
>> right? That I do that, too. Like I'm
like, "I'm I need to look that up and
never do." And then I never know
anything more. But yeah, so I went back,
talked to Jason. At that time it was uh
surplus acreage. Then this time it was
affordable housing. Now, this time it's
wild wildfire fighting, which if you get
into the weeds on fighting wildfires,
it's there's the National Forest Service
already has 10 billion dollar of road
work they need to do on roads that are
failing right now. So, they're saying
you're going to add more roads to the 10
billion worth of work that the roads
already need maintenance on. Don't think
so. Um what what they're going to do is
and then also if you make roads the the
stats say 85 to 90% of fires are started
within a half mile of road of a road. So
it's not the wilderness areas that are
in danger that we need to figure out how
to fight fires back there. There's
hardly any fires back there. It's always
about the roads we've created that we
can't maintain. That's where the the
fires are starting. Right.
>> Right. Because it's usually people.
>> It's it's it's human cause. 90% of the
time it's
that's only like a small percentage of
fires that can't be fought.
>> Here it is. Some Utah politicians who
are members of the LDS Mormon church
have pushed proposals to sell or
transfer federal public lands, but this
is a political movement, not an official
LDS church program, and other Mormon
groups openly oppose it. So, Utah's see
more disinformation. Somebody tried to
feed me and I kind of helped spread it,
right?
>> Utah's heavily dominated by federal
land. 42% of the state is managed by the
Bureau of Land Management alone. Even
more under other federal agencies
because so much federal so much of
Utah's federal fights over whether to
retain, transfer, or sell some of that
land is especially intense there. Yeah,
this next part is about Mike Lee, which
>> conservative Utah Republicans such as
Senator Mike Lee have proposed budget or
legislative plans that would make
millions of acres of western public land
eligible for sale, arguing it would
boost housing or local economies. The
housing thing is like, hey man, [ __ ]
you. No,
>> you're not putting houses in the
mountains. I don't believe you. I think
most likely what you're doing is there's
natural gas out there or minerals out
there or something. It's uh I mean they
don't care about first of all they'd
have to build infrastructure out there
in the mountains which you know water
power that's not going to happen. What
is this Wyoming thing? Says that Wyoming
case would have been the first time a
registered national historic site was
sold into private ownership which is why
it drew attention. What what are they
referring to though?
uh a national historic site among Oregon
Trail could end up in the hands of
private owners at the request of members
of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day
Saints.
>> Oh, so the church tried to purchase
public land.
>> So down down to that next one, it says
LDS teachings require strong stewardship
and explicitly advocate preserving and
protecting public land. So
>> okay,
>> that goes against politicians
>> like what he's doing and I think he's
like beholden to Trump. Trump's like his
errand boy for this public land thing
because Trump doesn't give a [ __ ] about
public land.
>> But his son does. This is what doesn't
make any sense. Like his Donald Trump
Jr.
>> Does he listen to anybody?
>> I don't know.
>> I don't think so.
>> Listen to me about psychedelics.
>> Well, that Okay, we'll talk to him about
this.
>> Is that again with sneaky roadless rule
amendment? Yeah.
>> Yeah. Well, maybe if I see him this
weekend. Well, I will see him this
weekend, but maybe I'll talk to him
about that. But I don't think
>> there was a there was a sentence in
there that I just saw. It says 99% right
here. N right in the middle. 99% of
Americans oppose repealing the rules of
this rule. Okay. So why they work for
us? Isn't it isn't that right? So the
reason why I got to this is because you
talked about the mountain lions. It's
like why don't they listen to people
like the public? The public would say,
"Yeah, we probably need to hunt mountain
lions, keep them manager." I don't think
the public of California would.
>> I think I'm opposed to that. I'm opposed
to ballot box biologists. Me too.
>> So they got wolves into Colorado.
>> But I'm just wondering like with this
this roadless rule. They didn't ask the
public anything,
>> right?
>> And 99% of the public oppose it.
>> Yeah. That's way I think I would say way
more people oppose that than oppose any
kind of a hunting thing.
>> Yeah. I I'm good with Okay. So on your
point then I want biologists making the
decision on hunting.
>> 100%.
>> I don't want politicians making the
decision on land use.
>> 100%.
>> So that's that's all I'm that's all I'm
saying. It's like let's have experts in
the field decide these things. It's like
who is the expert in the field who
decided the White House needs a
ballroom?
>> Uh me. I called in. No,
>> but it's like how are these decisions
being made? Like this roadless rule.
This was like a lastm minute add-on that
the public did not get a chance to vote
on.
>> How is that how is that okay?
>> No, it's not okay. It's it's super
[ __ ] sneaky. And I think all of our
position should be like your t-shirt,
>> the Teddy Roosevelt position, not one
acre. Like we have a amazing system
here. We do.
>> The public land system in the United
States is completely unique to the rest
of the world. It's very different. and
the fact that you can go out there and
that is your land. If you are a citizen
of the United States of America, public
land is your land and you have access to
incredible wilderness and beautiful
places. And if you've got the endurance
and the ability to go deep in there, you
could go to places where there's no
[ __ ] people and it's unbelievably
pristine wilderness and it's owned by
the entire country. And we got to keep
it that way. We can't we can't let that
slippery slope
get get into play. As soon as they start
giving away some of it or selling away
some of it, they'll they'll [ __ ] keep
going.
>> Not one acre.
>> What once once you lose something, you
don't get it back
>> ever.
>> And this especially with this public
land like at this time when when we all
came together, it was outdoorsmen in all
regards. It was hunting, hiking,
fishing, uh, who whoever uh recreators.
Yeah. like what it's like people who
just love and appreciate public lands.
We all came together, shot it down and
the public sentiment was was vicious,
right? And they couldn't ignore it. We
need the same thing now because at this
time I know we did so much. Everybody
came together. But when they do these
they wear us down with these these last
minute deals and add on these things
because it's like how many things can
you keep fighting and fighting and
fighting and you're like I thought we
already got this. Didn't we solve this
already and now it's back?
>> Well, I think that's one of the reasons
why they keep so many [ __ ] balls in
the air at the same time is because you
can't fight it all. You know, it's like,
do you really care about the Epstein
files or do you care about UFO
disclosure?
>> Yeah, I know.
>> The UF UAPs, we're going to have a big
meeting on Monday. We're going to have a
big release on Wednesday.
>> Okay.
>> So, I think they took to me it seems
pretty nefarious that they're like say,
"Oh, we got all these [ __ ] [ __ ]
worried about this roadless rule. Okay,
we can distract some of them with the
aliens. Got an alien stuff. All right.
Okay. Oh, we could uh we could distract
some of them with fighting. We got the
White House fight coming up. Okay,
that's And now all of a sudden now it's
way quieter because they've distracted
some of these core core groups with this
other [ __ ] right? And it's the
bread and circus thing. And like I kind
of agree with Bryce Mitchell who said
this that it's not for the White House
to be putting on sporting events. That's
not We hire the government to run our
country, not entertain us.
>> True. Yeah. No, I look I don't like it
because I think they should be fighting
indoors always. I think world
championship fights at the highest level
should be fought in a controlled
environment. That said, it's going to be
sick.
>> It's going to be It's going to be I'm
going to watch.
>> I have two like people think, "Oh,
Rogan's negative." Nope. I'm not
negative. But I'm not positive either. I
don't if it was me, if I was running the
the UFC, I would never run the UFC. But
if I was running the UFC, I would have
never wanted to do it.
>> Yeah.
>> I would have said, "We can't do it. They
have to be in a controlled environment.
We can't have a world championship
fight. We can't have someone win or lose
because they're outside and it's muggy."
>> Yeah.
>> That doesn't make any sense to me. It's
going to affect the grappling. It's
going to be like hot oil wrestling.
Everyone's going to be sweaty as [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> It's going to be completely different
than And also your endurance is going to
be less. No, no submission's going
probably gonna happen.
>> Well, in other maybe, but also you can
get under a neck way quicker, right?
Slide your arm through there.
>> Yeah, if you could cinch up a rear naked
choke with someone sweaty, you can get
it right under the chin. It's like it
slides in there.
>> But most grapplers would not prefer
that. Most grapplers would prefer an air
conditioned arena like normal. It should
be [ __ ] 72° just like it always is,
you know? It should be air conditioned
like it always is. But even the the
controlling the hands because you know
like if you're top or bottom like a big
part is like the wrist control like if
you're sweaty.
>> Oh yeah.
>> That's tough. I mean
>> back in the old days dudes used to lie
down in a bathtub filled with baby oil.
>> Yeah.
>> And then they would wash it off and so
then they would uh you know get warmed
up and then when they would start
sweating the baby oil would come out of
their pores cuz it's like when you soak
in baby oil for hours. I'm not accused
of any individuals doing this, but I
know for a fact it happened. And guys
would be completely greased up and you
could wipe them down with a towel. It
wouldn't matter. I mean, the grease is
everywhere. It's in their [ __ ] pores.
And as soon as they start sweating, you
try to get a hold of them, it's just
it's like trying to hold on to a [ __ ]
salmon in the middle of the water. They
just slip right out of your fingers.
>> Well, that happens, too, if you eat
McDonald's all the time. Just kind of
grease out your pores. So, they should
try that.
>> Maybe that'll work. I think that'll
affect your performance more. But the uh
the the sweat is going to be a big
issue. The outside the bugs, that's
going to be a big issue.
>> Thunderstorms.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> It's going to rain.
>> Looking at another forecast. This
>> starting around 2:00 rain. 3:00
thunderstorms. 7:00 rain.
>> It looks great.
>> Oh, by 8:00 it's only showers. Don't be
a [ __ ]
>> Just showers. Yeah, maybe they'll cancel
it. Look, I think if they canceled it
and moved it indoors, it'd be better for
everybody. I don't like it. I think I
the idea was like they want the the
octagon, the White House behind it.
Yeah. For image and everything like
that. It's going to be dope. The card is
sick. It's a [ __ ] amazing card.
>> The card I mean it's only seven fights
and all of them are bangers from the
opening one with Steve Garcia and Diego
Lopez. Bam right off the gate. It's like
Bo Nickel and Kyle Donawas. Bam right
out the gate. I mean it's it's going to
be a sick [ __ ] card. The card's
amazing.
>> I I That does look incredible. That's
the lightning catcher that they put over
there.
>> Yeah, it's going to be nuts. It's going
to be nuts if it happens.
>> But if it rains like crazy, you know,
but I mean, everybody will love it if it
rains. All the the people who hate it.
Yeah. Rain on those mega [ __ ]
>> Oh god,
>> you're ruining our country, man.
>> I know.
>> It's uh very divided time.
>> Oh, it's it's nuts.
>> Yeah. But um like I said, my
concern is for the athletes. Uh a
fighter's career is very short. A loss
is devastating. And to not have perfect
conditions to fight in, I think is
crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> But it's also going to be sick. It's
like being there is going to be nuts.
And maybe it's worth it. I don't know.
We'll find out.
>> Well, you you got to hand it to Dana for
going big like he always does.
>> He always does.
>> I mean, you know, they
>> he always does. He was at the the Sphere
in Vegas, right? It's like, wasn't that
was out of the box, but it was amazing.
>> Yeah, that was sick. That was a one time
only thing. That was so much money. But
this is a one time only thing
supposedly, too. But apparently Trump
doesn't want to take the octagon down.
He wants to leave it up.
>> Really?
>> I don't know, man.
>> I'm
>> I think it'd be great have guys like,
you know, come in and train at the White
House for a couple weeks. That'd be the
next gimmick.
>> I mean, why not? [ __ ] it.
>> Yeah, it's just
>> the whole thing's chaos anyway.
>> It's a crazy time.
>> I mean, what Biden could have a giant
LBGT flag in front of the White House
and have trans people pulling their
breasts out. Remember that?
>> Like they had big pride day. They had
big pride flag in front of the White
House. Like,
>> I'll take I'll take this over that.
>> It's like all of it is silly. Yeah, it's
all s That should have nothing to do
with the White House. This should have
nothing to do with the White House,
>> but you know, and then there's a lawsuit
right now
>> like people are trying to sue to keep
the UFC out the way. They'll probably
lose. I don't I'm not a lawyer. I don't
know, but I would imagine they're not
going to win.
>> I'm a I'm a huge fighting fan, UFC fan.
I you know, Dana White is like an icon.
I love all the fighters. I just love
everything about it. It's uh I just, you
know, I kind of agree with Bryce
Mitchell's take on it, which you can get
in trouble with agreeing with him
because he has a lot of takes, but uh
but on this one, I I kind of get it. And
um yeah, I mean, I don't blame the
fighters at all for jumping to this
opportunity.
>> No, they have to do it.
>> The whole world's going to watch.
>> It's going to be probably the most
watched sporting event
maybe in history.
>> Mhm. I mean, uh, it's on Paramount, so
it'll be on CBS as well, right? So,
it'll be probably avail.
>> Yes.
>> So, it's on CBS as well. So, it'll be
available to everybody. And then all the
haters are going to watch it, too.
They're going to want to talk [ __ ] So,
it'll probably be covered on CNN. What a
disaster it was. And they already talked
a lot about how I'm not into it.
>> But I I have to be honest about what I'm
into and what I'm not into. I can't just
agree with something if I don't agree
with it. I'll be respectful. I'll, you
know, I'm obviously a huge fan of the
UFC and it's always an honor to work for
them and I love it, but I don't like it.
But I'll still when I'm there I'm like,
"Oh, this is sick."
>> And maybe after it's over, I'm like,
"They were right." Or maybe it'll be
like, "Oh, it [ __ ] rained. It was
what a [ __ ] show. It was lightning. They
canceled the fights. It was a huge
disaster for CBS."
>> It's live sports. It's like, you never
know. I mean, if they pull the entire
audience out and just have the guys
fight in the cage under the the canopy,
now I'm in.
>> Yeah, that's like Apex style.
>> Now I like it. Now I like it. No crowd,
just us. Just me, DC, and Anic.
>> That'd be pretty fun.
>> Now I like it. Now I like it. And you
know, we're protected by the rain, but
everybody else isn't. So they all have
to leave.
>> [ __ ] yeah. Cuz I think it's going to be
also a lot of like look at me. people
are gonna dress up nice for it and like
because they know they're going to be on
television and it's you know I get it
but I it's really for me it's about the
fights there's there's gigantic fights
on that card the Justin Gate Ilia fight
>> I am very interested in that fight I'm
very interested in that fight I really
wish it was like at the T-Mobile or
Madison Square Garden or whatever but
who cares I I that's a fight I have a
lot of questions about I need to see
that fight happen
>> I mean Justin's quite a bit bigger But
Ilia is so skilled,
>> bro. He's I watched a a whole um I
watched his entire career last night.
>> Mhm. So, there was a the UFC put out a
video about Ilia saying, "Is Ilia
Taporia the GOAT?" And it goes from his
f first fight
um uh in the UFC to his last victory and
you watch every single fight of his
career and you watch him get better over
time and you know it gets deeper into
his career and then you you see his last
three fights and you're like, "Good
lord."
>> Yeah. like he was awesome when he first
entered the UFC, but he just kept
getting better. So, the Ysef Sal fights,
the first fight that goes to a decision,
you know, um and and then um uh you you
watch the progression. He starts KOing
people.
>> His last three KOs over the biggest
stars.
>> They're some of the greatest of all
time.
>> Max
>> Yeah.
>> Who whoa.
>> Yeah.
>> Charles, one of the greatest of all
times. Max Holloway, one of the greatest
of all times. And then Alexander
Vulcanowski, the greatest featherweight
of all time. Yeah. Like [ __ ] crazy,
man.
>> Knocked them out.
>> Knocked all three of them out. That's
one of the greatest resumes of all time.
CBS won't air UFC White House event.
Viewers would need Paramount Plus to
watch. What happened?
>> Did they back out of it?
>> This is news to me. I just saw
>> Oh,
>> they would not televise it. Uh that
means you I wonder if like Paramount
White decided uh cited the plan to tell
America story during the show as the
reason CBS would not be involved.
What the plan to tell America's story?
>> What? That doesn't make sense.
>> What does that mean? Uh we don't want to
talk about America's story on CBS. No,
because there's only x number of fights
and it starts from the first one. White
said, "We start at the beginning of
time, and like the Mexican independence
day fight, we're going to have the story
of America from the first fight to the
last. So, no, they'll all be on
paramount." So, it's going to start out
with European settlers coming over and
giving everyone smallox. And then you're
going to see all the Indians die. And
then we're going to go, "Oh, look at all
these buffalo." Because there's no one
there to kill them. And then we're going
to see people come across on wagon
trains and kill each other. It should be
fun.
>> Yeah.
>> It's like a good story.
>> It's going to be a very accurate story.
of how the United States started. It'll
start from back when we [ __ ] up Mexico
in like what was that? 1861 to get
Texas.
>> No. What year did they No, it was like
1821,
wasn't it? Like that that Mexico owned
Texas.
>> We'll start from the beginning. We'll go
all the way to buying Alaska for like 50
bucks.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. People love it. Why wouldn't you
want?
>> It'd be good. It' be good. It'd be
great.
>> It Yeah. It's uh I don't know. It's It's
going to be a spectacle for sure. I'll
be tuning in.
>> Yeah.
>> But
>> I'll be there.
>> Yeah. It's going to be You're at the
White House all the time now.
>> I've been there a couple times.
>> Yeah. It's weird. It's very weird. It's
also very weird because um as much as
people hate Trump and hate his decisions
and hate what he's doing and hate how he
talks and I
>> My experiences with him personally have
always been fun, unfortunately. Yeah.
Unfortunately for everybody else, like
uh you know, if he likes you and you're
on his good side, he's a fun guy to be
around. He says a lot of fun [ __ ]
>> The [ __ ] man loves America. He
genuinely does. He really does. Like he
wants to make the White House look
better. He wants to build this ballroom
cuz he want like he has good intentions
in terms of America. It's just there is
not a single [ __ ] person that's ever
taken the job of the president of the
United States that's loved by everybody.
>> Yeah.
>> But his the the issues that he's having
right now is a lot of the stuff that is
going on in this country is contrary to
what people voted for and that's what
people are upset about. The war the war
specifically
>> that I don't you know we voted for
protecting the border.
>> Uhhuh.
>> Um
>> and they did that.
>> Yeah. It's uh or American manufacturing
um protecting America's interests like
with trade with uh just protecting
people's jobs so we have a way to to
work and provide for our family. America
first that was what that sounded good to
me and it feels like this isn't any of
that. Like I it feels like even his
administration at first I was just like
oh [ __ ] these are some this is good. But
it feels like if you go against him in
any way, you're [ __ ] gone.
>> Well, it's that for sure. And then it's
also, you know, the amount of political
pressure. You know, you have to make
deals, right? So, you got the
pharmaceutical drug companies that are
trying to squeeze this in there and then
you got the oil companies trying to
squeeze that and the military is trying
to squeeze this and
>> there's a lot of compromises that have
to be made and that's where things get
dark. Yeah. Because there's people that
come in with these ideas that we're
going to fix this and clean that. Like
I've had long conversations with RFK and
that guy's in struggle all day. It's a
battle all day. Yeah. It's dealing with
all these pressures. And
>> look, they've made a lot of headway.
They've made a lot of headway with with
peptides. They made a lot of headway
with uh eliminating some of these uh
unnecessary food dyes and all these
different things that we've been subject
to. But they lost with glyphosate.
>> Yeah.
>> And that was a big one, man. Glyphosate
was a big one.
>> You know, I've got a guy coming on who's
an expert in it that's going to talk
about it soon. And it it is the the
people that are gaslighting you to say
it's not an issue. We don't really know
how much of the health problems that a
lot of people have who consume uh
glyphosater products have. We don't know
how much it's affecting you. What is it
taking away from your immune system?
What is it taking away from how much is
your body processing this [ __ ] toxic
herbicide that's in your system versus I
mean how much of that is contributing to
people's health problems? There's a lot
of people that think that that's what a
lot of this gluten allergy [ __ ] is that
people are just reacting to yeah
>> bromate and pesticides and herbicides.
But is what's that stat with Iowa being
the center for glyophate basically with
all the agriculture there and then
that's like the hot bed for cancer?
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, yeah,
>> you don't have to look very far to see
that connection.
>> No, you don't. No. Well, you know, that
was also back in the day when people
were when people talk about the polio
epidemic. You can't talk about the polio
epidemic without also talking about
spraying of DDT all over the [ __ ]
country because DDT poisoning has the
exact same reaction the body has the
exact same reaction as polo as paralytic
polo polio polo
>> polio you know the disease like there's
this woman who wrote a great book on it
um uh
>> Suzanne Humphre is it called uh
dissolving illusions and it's all about
that and all about like f first of all
they were spraying it behind cars in
streets where children were playing and
people were getting polio
>> I remember seeing kids like running
through it
>> but it wasn't just people that were
getting polio this is part of the
problem with the narrative that it's
polio animals were getting polio
>> like animals were getting polio but they
don't get polio it doesn't spread to
animals but the horses and [ __ ] cows
were getting paralyzed they were getting
the same symptoms because it's [ __ ]
DD tea poisoning.
>> Yeah.
>> And here's the craziest one. What
percentage of polio is asymptomatic?
Meaning you get it and you have no
symptoms.
>> I don't know.
>> 95 to 99%.
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
>> So it's people have it.
>> This it's DDT.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> It's DDT that I mean look, it's not
saying that some people that are very
sick and immune compromised get polio
and get [ __ ] up and die. Of course
polio is bad. Thousands of people die
every year from the flu. Flu is bad,
right? Okay. But you know what else is
bad? DDT. And you know what's what else
is going on? When everybody was going
through this whole polio epidemic,
[ __ ] spraying DDT everywhere. And
most people are ignorant to it. Yeah.
>> And you bring it up. They call you a
conspiracy theorist, but it's [ __ ]
fact. It's undeniable.
>> Well, I I was like, you know, the
controlling the weather. I was like,
that's conspiracy. But then I started
seeing the planes like laying the
[ __ ] clouds out. Have you seen Have
you seen it?
>> Yes. And no. Okay. So, I actually did a
show on this.
>> You did?
>> Yes. I did a not an episode of the
podcast. I did an episode of Joe Rogan
Questions Everything. Know that show
that I used to do back in the day.
>> We did a whole episode on chemtrails.
And one of the things we first of all,
the reason why it looks like that, this
is just a fact. The reason why it looks
like that is there's condensation in the
atmosphere. You have a hot jet engine.
It's passing through this cool air. And
the hot jet engine and the cool wet air
creates clouds. Yeah,
>> those clouds are real. It's artificial
clouds.
>> Also, they spray [ __ ] in the air. Two
things are happening at the same time.
>> Yeah, cuz you see the normal planes, you
see the normal jetream, you're like,
"Okay, checks out." Then you see the
other ones and it's a different jetream.
>> Yeah. But it doesn't matter. The the
condensation in the atmosphere is
inconsistent.
>> But they're making
>> just like clouds are inconsistent.
>> But you can we we watched them the other
day make laps.
>> Yeah. But it might not be the same
plane. It might just be a route, right?
You're not watching the entire plane go
all the way down land and come back.
>> No. No. But you're watching consistent
plane travels, but that's why it looks
like that. But it's just days where
there's a lot of condensation in the
atmosphere. Dude, I'm telling you,
listen,
>> those planes, if you're looking at a
Southwest flight and they're not
spraying, okay? But some planes spray
[ __ ] And there are some weather
modification experiments they do that
are completely top secret. They don't
let anybody know about it. They do cloud
seeding. They cause floods. Look at what
happened with [ __ ] Dubai. You ever
see that Dubai [ __ ] where Lamborghinis
are floating down the highway?
>> Yeah.
>> That is people [ __ ] with the
environment.
>> That's what I thought was con conspiracy
before, which I don't now.
>> No, it's real. Well, Abu Dhabi does it
every week. Abu Dhabi makes it rain
every week with cloud seeding.
>> And because they're rich, they're like,
"Fuck it. Make it rain. Make it rain."
And so
>> there's there's real weather
modification. Now that's there's cloud
seeding and then there's experimental
[ __ ] like some of the [ __ ] that like
Bill Gates was talking about like
spraying reflective particles in the
atmosphere to block out the sun. Like
hey [ __ ] face. Yeah.
>> Who are you to make a decision for the
whole world to cool the world?
>> You didn't even graduate college. Shut
the [ __ ] up. Like this is crazy. And
also the consequences of any tenet.
What if this [ __ ] starts the next ice
age and everybody [ __ ] dies,
>> right? I know. I mean,
>> it's get the [ __ ] out of the air. Leave
us alone. Stop playing God. You don't
know what you're doing. And also, do you
have any money invested in any of these
projects that are attached to this?
>> For sure. This, you know, we talk about
all this stuff, you know. Oh, I I didn't
want to say this. So for public land, I
want to say this is part of my notes.
Call your senators. Say you want the
roadless rule kept intact. Say we don't
want to get rid of of the 45 million
acres that that are going to be
protected with the roadless rule, but to
call your senators is 202243121.
Say say you uh you want the roadless
rules kept intact. And we have to we
have to let our voices heard. Our voice
were was heard on this not one acre. We
won that one. We have to do it again.
You have to call your senators and say
and and just voice your concerns.
>> It's a slippery slope. You can't let
them have any ground.
>> But like what I um
here's what this thing was really pissed
me off because as I said, the
administration at first I thought, okay,
we got some we got some good pipe
hitters in there. It feels like they do
what Trump says. If they don't, they're
gone. They're like they're the scapegoat
for whatever failed. They're out of
there. Um, you can see the writing on
the wall. Like I don't I was I wanted
Tulsi to get in there and kick ass cuz I
knew how she felt about the war in Iran
and and like that would have how
detrimental that would be. So I was like
I I believed in her and now with her
husband getting sick and now she's out
of there. But it feels like people are
it's like if you stand up for something,
you're gone. And now they got this Mark
Wayne Mullen in there who just two days
ago for this road roadless rule, he
unwinded 31 laws that were going to
protect the the public land, right? Just
31 laws. He just said, "Yeah, those
aren't going to apply anymore because we
need to." They awarded a $ 1.7 billion
dollar contract to build a wall in Texas
at Big Bin National Park. $ 1.7 million
do billion dollars has been awarded and
it wasn't even bid to build this wall in
Big Bin National Park here. It's like
how the public doesn't want that. We
don't want a [ __ ] wall.
>> What's the wall for?
>> They're saying for border protection.
And if you look at like where the border
crossings are, it's not in the middle of
the [ __ ] park.
>> So, what do you think that wall is
really for?
>> I don't know. [ __ ] up national a
national park, one of the most pristine
places in Texas. I don't know what the
goal is. But
>> have you read into it, though? Is there
any arguments pro and con that the walls
>> I'm sure there is. I'm sure it's for
border protection. I mean, maybe Jamie
can look it up.
>> Yeah. Let's see if there's is there like
a
>> there was no public input on it again,
>> right? That's the problem. And then the
problem is again they can come up with
reasons why you know they have to make
some new laws because well we got to
protect people. Yeah. And that's how the
slippery slope begins.
>> It was a co like you know safe and
effective protect your communities. It's
like you got to do this for safety. Well
it's the same thing. Trump
administration will bypass environmental
laws for border project in Big Ben
National Park. So what is does it say
what the argument for it is?
>> According to preliminary federal notice,
latest regulatory waiver will apply to
more than 100 miles of US Mexico border.
So it's a border law.
>> Yeah. from near clo near near the closed
canyon trail in Big Ben Ranch State Park
through the entirety of Big Ben National
Park into remote parts of southeastern
Brewster County. In the notice, Homeland
Security Mark Wayne Mullen wrote, "The
administration is bypassing a wide range
of laws to ensure the expeditious
expeditious construction of barriers and
roads along the southern border. While
US Customs and Border Protection
continues to insist it will not build a
30-foot tall steel border wall in either
the state or national park, the AY's
current plans call for a mix of vehicle
barriers, surveillance technology, and
patrol road upgrades in the parks as a
part of a project dubbed dubbed Big Ben
4.
>> So, this is like not not listening to
the experts. Again, six former
superintendents of Big Ben National Park
pinned a letter to Mullen urging them
not to take such a step. So again, not
listening to the experts, just like the
ballot box biology, just doing whatever
the [ __ ] they want. Doesn't matter what
the public or the expert thinks they're
thinks they're going to do. It award
these bids to the probably some
construction outfit this guy's invested
in for $1.7 billion with no bid. It's
like, how is this how is this okay?
>> Yeah, it's very I don't understand it.
Is there a lot of crossings in there?
>> No, there's not. That's the thing. they
have where all the crossings happen.
There's like this tiniest percentage in
that park
>> cuz it seems like it's probably a very
remote area of Mexico that it connects
to as well, right? So, it'd be very
difficult to get through that way.
>> And also, if you're going to get through
that way, like good lord,
>> right?
>> You're going into like tough country.
>> Yeah. And you know, that's that's good
elk country down there. I know people
who hunt like
>> West Texas,
>> good good bulls.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, it's like I just I I don't
know. It's uh so if you look at the
millions of Americans who treasure Big
Bend, you know, they don't want
construction down there. And especially
if if we voted on it, fine. If there was
a reason, fine. But it was never voted
on.
>> Yeah. It says uh the horrific plans are
an affront to the millions of Americans
who treasure Big Ben. Lake Jordal, uh,
an advocate with the Center for
Biological Diversity said in a
statement, "Politicians who've never set
foot here are signing a death warrant
for this wild and beautiful place."
>> Yep.
>> Yeah.
>> And that's, you know, I've heard
somebody, you know, pretty close with
Trump tell me that he's never walked on
dirt before.
>> Trump has never walked on dirt. He plays
golf.
>> Has to have walked on dirt.
>> Grass, baby.
>> That's very dirt.
>> Not on his course. But the but the point
is it's like somebody who doesn't
appreciate public land.
>> They don't give a [ __ ] about this.
>> No, they don't give a [ __ ] they don't
they're not going to see it and they
never would see it. There is a border
wall going up there too though.
>> There as well.
>> Same spot.
>> Same spot.
>> Yeah. Look, um, they have to protect the
border, but if there's not a lot of
crossings there and all of a sudden you
want to spend all this money to build a
steel border, like who's getting the
contract
>> and just to award that with no bid, it's
just not that's not I was a a public
buyer. That's not how it works. You're
spending public money. You can't just
spend public money without a bid,
>> right? I mean, but they bypass all this
[ __ ] that has the checks and balance in
place to ensure that we're making good
decisions with public money. They bypass
it all.
>> And then you know who suffers here? It's
the people who don't have like some some
people they go to the park for mental
health. They want to go camp. They want
it's like they might not have two
nickels to their name, but they're
appreciating nature. That's why public
land is so important because that gives
purpose to people like me who's less
like I got to get out of this [ __ ] hole
city and go recharge, right?
>> So for people who don't appreciate that
or care about that, that's that's wasted
land. It's like we could have a shopping
mall, we could have investors doing
this, we could have make this where
because right now they they would say
that well not everybody can can uh um
take advantage of this because you have
to hike, you have to do these things. So
we want to make it more accessible. so
more people can enjoy it. No.
>> Yeah,
>> that's that's not how it works.
>> You're going to [ __ ] it up.
>> Yeah.
>> You can't just have helicopter landing
plaids all over the [ __ ] woods.
>> There's There's your Yeah, there's your
contract.
>> Spike in border wall spending goes
mostly to two firms with GOP White House
ties. Construction contracts, including
$2.6 6 billion awarded this week are
being awarded to at a historic scale
through a streamlined process that could
put Trump on track to realize his vision
for a border wall.
>> Mhm. Yeah. See that streamline process
>> that was bypassing 31 laws.
>> And so what's there now? Like what is
the border now between Mexico and the
United States in that area? Is it just
land? Like you just walk right right
across?
>> It's probably the river.
Look, what is it? What is the border?
Can we find that out, Jamie?
>> Does it say? Oh,
>> it doesn't say, but I'll look.
>> Okay, let's just look. Go up. Let's look
at the map.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> And see what the map looks like.
>> Okay, let's see.
>> So, that's where it is. Texas. Yeah. Or
>> So, is that the river that blocks it?
>> Well, the river blocks the whole bottom
of the border technically, except
there's certain parts of the river. I
mean, look at that.
>> It's not that hard to get across that
river.
>> Look at that one.
>> Well,
I mean, people aren't going to go there
to cross.
>> That's crazy. Look how beautiful that
is.
>> It's amazing.
>> God, that's so beautiful.
>> No, they're they're not going there to
cross.
>> Yeah, that's all mountainous. I don't
know. I mean, it's hard to see,
actually. Where is the most border
crossings?
>> Well, for a while it was like where they
had that road where they were just
letting people through.
>> Most border crossings are in actually in
Arizona.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. I'm I'm almost positive. So, I'm
sure Jaime's going to find it here.
>> I was I'm asking it how many happened
through Big Ben National Park.
>> Yeah.
>> [ __ ] one.
>> 30. Got to stop him. $84 billion.
>> Yeah. It's just like God. I don't know.
Just stuff like this. So what happens is
like you get distracted with the Israel,
the bombing of the girls school, the
Epstein files, and then they do [ __ ]
like this.
>> Okay. The only official border crossing
inside Big Ben National Park is the
Bokeias port of entry, and it sees on
the order of about 10,000 legal
crossings by visitors per year, plus a
relatively small number of unauthorized
crossings compared with other parts of
the US Mexico border.
>> What exists in Big Ben? Big Ben National
Park shares about 118 miles of border
with Mexico along the Rio Grand. The
only legal port of entry actually inside
the park is Bokeia's crossing. Small
pedestrian only crossing to the Bakias
del Carman, Mexico. National Park
Service information and travel videos
describe Bokeias uh as handling roughly
10,000 visitor crossings per year.
>> Yeah, those those are mostly all legal.
So
>> 734
>> uh border patrol sector sees only a
fraction of total southwest border
crossings. One report cited 30 734
people documented crossing in that
sector by more than 27,000
along the entire US Mexico border uh in
a given period. And like what year was
that where it was uh 734? Was that
before they shut down the
>> the border? What's really crazy how many
people came in the country?
>> Oh, I know.
>> The fact that over four years it's north
of 10 million. And I've talked to people
that think it's 20.
>> It doesn't say
>> doesn't say no. And it it it just shows
those out of the 27,000, but it doesn't
say they're illegal.
>> So, it's not a hot spot of crossing.
>> The last the last slide there said it's
just a smallest fraction if is illegal
of that 734. Those were like total
crossings in that area. A smallest
fraction was illegal. So, it's No, it's
not. It's BS,
>> right? It's BS. And they're just going
to do it because they got a nice
contract
>> and I want a wall. Beautiful wall.
>> Yeah. But why
>> giant wall
>> in the National Park?
>> No.
Um, the Washington Post reported last
week, the skyrocketing border wall
contracts now totaling more than 19.4 4
billion in the last six months have
mostly gone to Bernard and Fiser. That's
prompted a lawsuit against the Trump
administration from a would-be rival
border wall builder who claims that the
government doled out billions in
contracts without genuine competitive
opportunities.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. See, that's illegal. I mean,
but that's what they're doing.
>> Yeah.
>> No bueno.
>> No. And and so but but as I was saying,
they distract us with all this other
stuff and push through [ __ ] like this.
Like who knows what a Senate what the
Senate or House is voting on on a
[ __ ] Tuesday. Well, it was this
public land thing.
>> Mhm.
>> And you know, just add it in in the
middle of the night. We have no no say
on it. We're distracted with all this
fights at the UFC with Israel doing
whatever the [ __ ] they're doing. And
it's just like, oh, we just lost all
this public land, too.
>> Mhm. And it's like it's it's impossible
to keep up on.
That's what's frustrating.
>> You know what's not frustrating? This
bare meat. It's pretty [ __ ] good.
>> Yeah. That's that's uh Man,
>> that's legit.
>> But what what Okay. So that
>> So what can be done? This bill hasn't
passed, right?
>> No. Now it's going to go to the Senate.
So it was in the House. The Then here's
what here's the problem. So, this was
originally this uh roadless rule was
bipartisan. Everybody agreed, let's
protect this. Now, with Mike Lee adding
this language in there, now it's turned
um now there's lines in the sand. And
nine um Republican senators voted with
the Democrats on this to to allow this
the roadless rule to get to be in there.
So, now it goes to the full Senate. Now,
they're going to need whatever the the
percentage is, six, I think 60% of a
full Senate vote
>> um for it to pass. So, we'll see.
>> So, now the scumbag lobbyists get
involved. Yep.
>> And they start pressuring people and
help you do this and I'll do that and
help me here and I'll help you there.
>> When they get overwhelmed because of
switchboards, if people call that 202
number, like I said, then that makes it
to everybody. And
>> what's that number again? 202243421.
Say you're you want to keep the roadless
rule intact. You don't want to sell off
public lands. You don't want to This is
all BS. Um but they they do this and um
yeah, the lobbyists get involved and
what happens is like what happened with
the big beautiful bill is this part was
in there and Trump wanted it in there
but it was causing such a friction he
was just like I want my big beautiful
bill passed. these guys are [ __ ] it
up with this public land stuff. Pull
that out. Let's get this through. So
they did. They pulled out this. We saved
the public land. Who knows what what we
lost that that was also attached. But
anyway, we saved public land at that
time. They're going to for affordable
housing. Same thing has to happen here.
He's got this language added into the
[ __ ] they were already working on. That
changes, you know, we've had we've had
this in place for decades and and it's
worked, right? So we have to say no,
we're not down with this. And they have
to pull it out again. Well, I hope we
can get it through. We'll push it. You
got it up on social media where people
can Cameron Haynes Instagram.
>> I will for sure. But, uh, it's like,
you know, it's this is so important
because it it's so important to people
without a voice. So, it's like I feel
sometimes like, how did I get in this
position? I know you do, too. Like,
where you're at the White House, you're
just like, how the how the [ __ ] could
somebody like me earn this opportunity,
right? You've earned it through decades
and decades of work, of being curious,
of being fair, of being positive, of
caring, and now people want to come on
and share their thoughts with you. That
gives you a platform. You've the most
powerful voice probably in the world at
in in some at some times. And so, you
get invited to the White House. And I
know like for me, I know they've used me
there before. Like, yeah, I I created
value in myself. Um, they invited me
there for Veterans Day and I said, "No,
I'm not going because I don't [ __ ]
agree with this war in Iran. I don't
agree with all this [ __ ] I don't want
to go and have a picture in the [ __ ]
White House so people could be like,
"See, see see you, you [ __ ] you're
part of this. You you know, cuz we did.
We we thought that Trump was the best
option at the last election." I did. I
100% believed he was better.
>> The thing is, he might still have been
the best option.
>> He might be, but and and that's fine. I
don't know what would have happened if
the the Kla Harris administration had a
continuation of the Biden
administration.
>> I don't want people coming in the border
unchecked by the millions. I didn't want
that. I didn't want, you know, this
celebration of transgenderism. I have no
problem with transgenders or
crossdressers or any I have no problem
or gay or anything like that. I just
don't want it promoted just crazily to
our youth. That's it. I don't want youth
getting surgery that their parents don't
know about because they can't have a say
in it now. I don't I didn't want any of
that. So, of course, I'm going to vote
for Trump. Right now, I don't like any
of this [ __ ] So, I have the my right is
to say, "No, I'm not down with this
>> and I'm not going to the [ __ ] I'm not
going to be in your picture at the
[ __ ] White House so you can use it."
And all the people who listen to me
would be like, "Oh, well, [ __ ] He was
>> So, they wanted you to go for was it was
Veterans Day? And what was the the
premise of having you there?
>> I don't know. But
>> but you're not a veteran. So what was
the premise?
>> It it it's only because I have a big
platform.
>> So they're going to celebrate Veterans
Day at the White House and they just
said, "Let's get some famous people."
>> Probably. I mean, it's it's you know,
remember the Epstein Files where all the
influencers had the binder?
>> Well, it was Pam Bondi.
>> Yeah. But
>> and there was uh there was a few other
influencers,
>> but they use they they you can use
people like us for their messaging.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And then they invited me back again
after now I've been pretty critical of
this administration just because I care.
And it's just like I don't have to agree
with [ __ ] lock step with the person I
voted for. That's our right as citizens
to be like I voted for that but I don't
agree with this and I'm not happy about
this and I'm and I want you to know
that's that's our right as voters. Would
they invite you back again for
>> this? This was back. It was for a public
land thing. And I'm like, "Yeah, I'm
down for it." But I just know I had this
this kid on Benji Backer. He's like uh
has this this page, this nonpartisan
something for outdoors. But I did this
show with him and I there was uh you
know, bringing different people into
debate public land or like to share why
we care about public land coming from
different places, but it's still all
important to us. I did the show with
him. Well, he went I had him on the
podcast. He talked about his how he's
working hard to protect public land. He
went back and Trump signed an executive
order. Something about public land and
all it was was a pomp and circumstance
photo op to get executive order. Nothing
has happened to it. Nothing has happened
with it. No actions been taken. It was
like all it was was uh just they could
make a press clipping out of it.
>> Theater.
>> A theater. and nothing's going to
change. Nothing changes. Nothing's
protected. So that's what I feel like a
lot of these times if I get invited
there, it's for that is to is to make my
base if I have a base. I don't have I'm
not a politician, but to make my people
like feel a little better about
whatever's going on. And I understand
that's how it works. You want powerful
people on your side, right? I'm not
saying I'm powerful, but I have a a
pretty big following. I just I just I
went back there because it's a huge
honor like the few times that I've been
back there and is amazing and it's like
being in the White House, somebody like
me should never be there, but I've
created value in my name and in some
ways that I get that opportunity, but
that opportunity comes with a price. So
now I have to think about
am I true to what I believe in by
showing support for this? And now it's
too there's too much for me that I'm not
happy with that I can't ignore it
personally. So that's I feel like they
use they use opportunities like that
for, you know, for press.
>> Well, the the it seems like there's so
many different people that want a piece
of the pie. And if there's these giant
contracts for border walls and giant
contracts for this, it's just such an
incentive to do things that people don't
want.
>> Or what about the military drones? those
contracts when this war started. That's
you can look into who who made money on
that one.
>> Who made money on that one?
>> Should we look it up, Jamie?
>> Drone military contract. Let's see who
made money. I don't want to say it.
>> But you know, huh?
>> Okay. Well, I don't know. So, I'm I'm
going to be surprised.
>> Yeah. So, um
>> maybe maybe not.
>> But like when you follow the money,
>> it makes a lot of sense. Of course,
>> when you follow when you follow Apac,
you're like, "Why is this politician
always pushing this [ __ ]
>> Where do they get their money?" Oh, I
know this guy back home. He's running
for like this local politician thing.
His name's Adam. He's like,
>> he goes, I
>> Don Jr. What?
>> What? Jamie, what did you find?
>> Wait a minute.
>> What did you
This has got to be a mistake.
>> Eric and Don Jr. invest in military
drone company amid Iran war. Is it
Jamie? Where'd you find this?
>> That seems like propaganda from Iran or
something.
>> Is that a cartoon? Iran's cartoon
uh propaganda again? Um, no. But so
anyway, you start I was talking about
this local guy back home and he said
that he goes, "I need to call Israel."
He goes, "It is so hard to get money for
like to run as a in whatever. It was
just a local election. But you go to a
business, they say, "Yeah, here I got
$18 I can contribute." Right? Where so
you see these big politicians, you see
how much money they're getting. It's
like, wait, what's this AP pack thing?
Why did they get millions? Oh, then you
start wondering how they're voting on
things. You're like, this is making a
lot more sense.
>> It's like, where's the money coming
from?
>> Yeah. They have to take all that out of
politics. Oh my god. I don't know how
you could at this point, but when you
can influence politicians and influence
who gets promoted to be voted for, who
gets put out into the public eye in a in
a in a great light, in a positive light,
and then you realize that there's just
all this money from corporations to get
this person in or from other foreign
countries to get this person in or from
lobbyists to get this person in. And
you're like, "Wait, that why? That's not
serving us." No, it's like
>> and how do you stop that? And when did
Okay, here's a big question. When did
money officially become a problem in
politics? I know that's a very broad
question, but put that in perplexity and
see what it says.
>> The Citizens United thing was a big
deal, but I think it was 2012.
>> What thing is that?
>> Citizens United.
>> Citizens United. That was 2012. I think
so.
>> That changed it a lot, but it was always
a problem before that. I
>> mean, there was always been a Like
>> when did corporations become a real
problem?
>> Like when did Apac become a problem?
Like when did when did Apac form and
when did they start donating to American
politicians?
>> Yeah, it's uh first of all, I don't
think any foreign government, anyone
connected to foreign government should
have any influence whatsoever on
American politics.
>> I've heard our politicians say their
loyalty is to Israel. That is crazy.
I've I've heard people say that too.
>> 2022.
>> 2022, they not direct directly start
donating to US political candidates
until 2022.
>> [ __ ] Jesus.
>> So I if I don't I mean if I remember
correctly, Trump didn't take any money
from Israel his first election
and now he just gave an award to
somebody. You can see who who he just
gave an award to.
>> Oh, he gave an award. What kind? One of
them big ones. One of them nice ones.
They put them around your neck and you
stand there in the Oval Office.
>> Yep. Who contributed
>> like you just won the Olympics?
>> Who contributed 250 million to his last
election.
>> Oh.
>> So, do you want an award?
>> That's how much you got to pay for an
award. I don't I don't really want an
award. I wouldn't know what to do with
it anyway.
>> So, to me that So, you said like if
>> 2022 I would imagine Ape would have
around much.
>> I would have thought I didn't know that
actually. But when I look at like if you
look at um Thomas Massie, he got in the
crosshairs of the president for whatever
reason, right? He got they had a
candidate they wanted him to lose to and
he did he did lose.
>> Yeah. So here's the thing. We we'll get
to that in a second. Here's the thing.
Citizens United decision is widely seen
as having created serious problems in US
politics by vastly increasing the role
of big money and reducing transparency.
And so this was what year, Jamie?
>> I want to say it was 2012.
>> Okay. 2011, 2010, 201.
So 2010 Supreme Court decision further
tilted
>> tilted.
>> Yeah. Tilted political influence towards
wealthy donors and corporations. That's
when we got [ __ ] Yeah,
>> I think that's when it started treating
corporations like a person and gave them
rights in some way. See that second
bullet point?
>> Supercharge packs which can take
unlimited contributions from wealthy
donors to spend unlimited amounts in. So
that's how they control the elections
right there.
>> And that was the Obama administration.
>> Dark money.
>> Dark money from groups that don't fully
disclose donors have exploded. Voters
often cannot see who's really funding
major political campaigns. So, we need
to just [ __ ] tune the way back
machine to 2009. But even then, like
2009 is after they bailed out the
[ __ ] banks.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, 15 years later, Citizens United
defined the 2024 election. Yep. There it
is. We're [ __ ]
>> It's a slippery slope.
>> Yeah. That's So,
>> I don't That's like
>> Ruth Ginsburg right there called it the
worst ruling of her time on the court.
>> Whoa. Overwhelming majorities of
Americans have consistently expressed
disapproval of the ruling with at least
22 states and hundreds of cities voting
to support a constitutional amendment to
overturn it. Citizens United reshaped
political campaigns in profound ways,
giving corporations and billionaire
funded super PACs a central role in US
elections and making untraceable dark
money a major force in politics. And yet
it may only be now in the aftermath of
the 2024 election we could begin to
understand the full impact of the
decision.
>> And it and it's perfect too because
citizens united. So this is like the
language they use to dupe us. Like oh
Citizens United this
>> we're together.
>> This is good right?
>> Just like the Patriot Act.
>> Yeah. Or like in Oregon that hunting
thing. It's called the Peace Act.
>> Oh yeah. Tell talk about that because
that one's bonkers.
>> Yeah. So this is nuts. So this is same
thing. It's just it's follow the money.
If you want to know why we're so [ __ ]
up, follow the money. Um, so the IP28,
this is a a crazy thing. They want to
here's here's where I I'll just explain
Oregon real quick. Oregon is like a
petri dish for these crazy ideas, for
these political ideas. Like if you think
of uh legalizing recreational drug use,
you know, we did that in Oregon. Like
heroin, meth, you can have that. It's
fine. It's whatever.
>> I think they turned that back, right?
>> But they tried it to see how it would
work in Oregon.
>> Yeah. It didn't work out so well.
>> Right. Now, this is another crazy one,
but they try it in Oregon cuz it's very
We got a huge liberal population in in
Portland and Eugene and some of these
and Salem, but uh
>> not just liberals.
>> Retards.
>> Yeah, they're they're more than just cuz
I'm I'm friends with liberals for sure.
>> Yeah, they're gone. They're they're at
the far end of the political spectrum on
the left. They're full-on communists.
Yeah.
>> Socialists. No meat. Everyone should be
a vegan. They want everybody to get
bitten by that tick.
Yeah, I mean so much.
>> We should talk about that, too. We'll
get to that in a minute. But, um, so the
law the the new thing the bill they're
trying to pass
ban first of all
>> uh was it was it the may who was it the
governor of Washington? Which which
governor was it? Oregon or Washington
that tried to make it so that you have
to have a [ __ ] license to paddle
board.
>> Oh, probably Washington.
I would say,
>> can you [ __ ] imagine telling someone
that they have to have a license to
paddle a [ __ ] canoe?
>> Yeah. Well,
>> you have to pay the state money to have
a license to paddle a [ __ ] canoe.
>> They also made it like during CO like
some guy was out fishing by himself in
the lake. I think he got a ticket.
>> A guy got arrested when he was uh
surfing by himself in California, right?
>> Why are you going to get sick out there
in the middle of the ocean surfing?
>> It's just silly. But this IP28, they
bill it as, you know, on the So they'll
they'll do this thing like go to get
these votes, they needed 117,000 votes
to get this on the ballot. So to to get
117,000 people to sign your petition um
basically all it said was stop animal
cruelty.
>> All you have to do is go to Portland and
visit one homeless shelter.
>> Just say, "Hey, do you want to stop
animal cruelty?"
>> Right.
>> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I love animals. Well,
I love animals, too. Oh, we signed this.
So, they didn't tell you that it's
making, you know, you can't fish, you
can't hunt, you can't raise animals like
like
>> backyard chickens. You can't raise
backyard chickens. Just like even
ranchers, you sell beef. You can't do
it. They're making it like even the
breeding of animals like we breed cows,
we breed horses. Um there's stud feeds,
there's different things. It makes
better race like like uh raceh horses,
but there's also better product for for
beef, right? So, we control like when uh
when a cow goes into heat, when it gets
bred, things like that. That's part of
like being a rancher. Well, they want to
make that like cuz a cow didn't agree to
it. It's like rape. It's like sexual
assault. Like you can't control when
animals breed. So, that takes away
ranching. There is no ranching, right?
So they want to make it to where they're
not going to make eating meat illegal,
but if people can't raise it, you're
buying it from some other state at a
higher price. You get
>> you're eliminating ranches in Oregon.
>> In Oregon. Yeah. So it's it's killing a
whole industry. Crazy. And they could
say that like even if you if you hurt an
animal, um I don't know what like
>> you could get charged with assault. So
this is they want every animal treated
like your family pet or dog.
>> Oh,
>> and but the thing is
>> so if you kill a chicken for food, you
go to jail.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I was wondering like if you
you know how you're driving a car and
like sometimes a bird flies in front of
you,
>> right? You going to get arrested for
that.
>> Yeah. That but
>> you're responsible for your vehicle, you
killed that squirrel.
>> So this guy who introduced this, this is
the third attempt at doing this. He
knows he's not going to get the vote
because how it'll work to get on the val
ballot, they take 6% of the votes cast
in the last governor governor election.
So 6% of the last votes casted. So it's
a small number, but it's 117,000.
Um they can get that many by just saying
stop animal cruelty. Now it goes to the
ballot. Um but he knows this is his
third time. He knows this isn't going to
pass, but it's like it just tells them
what they need to work on, what language
they need to change. It's all part of
this long-term process to get hunting
and fishing stopped, right? Because I
think like in general, the government,
they like consumers. They don't like
people being too uh um self-sufficient.
They like them relying on that. This is
another step. Like if we can get rid of
ranchers, hunting and fishing, don't
need the guns, don't need to be killing
stuff, then you're just like, we'll
provide the meat for you. Bill Gates
owns all this land. You talked about
Bill Gates before and him making
decisions on [ __ ] he doesn't know
anything about. He dropped out of
college. But did you say he dropped out
of college or Yeah. So, it's uh it's
they want to be able to control who's
who's providing the food, who's making
the money, what type of food it is. Um,
you know, it's like it goes back to the
whole WC thing. It's like you will own
nothing and be happy. It's like that's
they want these smart cities working
towards that to where no, you don't need
to be a badass hunter anymore. We we got
it,
>> right? And they they can use these nutty
progressive people as just useful idiots
to push things through.
>> That's all it is.
>> Yeah. And then you get a bunch of people
that are pushing money packs that are
pushing money towards these people to
fund them
>> to push these wacky ideas. You go, why
would they do that? Well, that's why
they do that. They do that because they
want you dependent on them,
>> right? And this is part of this process
where it doesn't happen overnight. And
this thing won't won't make it into law
for sure, but they'll see where they're
at. This will be like, okay, here's
where we're at. Here's what we need to
change on our messaging. Here's where
the biggest push back was and they
adjust where
can we do that on the other side? It's
like I know there's there's farming and
ranchies or organizations, but like it's
it's money. It's like who's giving these
people the money? It's usually coming
from out of state and u they have more
money and they're more organized than
people who are are working cuz when
you're a rancher, you're [ __ ] working
all the time. You don't you can't go get
signatures and [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> You got work to do. these [ __ ] these
environmental people that are just crazy
like extremists, they get paid for doing
this. So, it's like that's how that's
their job. You know, a rancher has a he
has a job and it's very hard. He doesn't
have time to go out and and talk knock
on doors.
>> That's the really [ __ ] up part is a
lot of these people that are these
protesters, these organizers, that is
their job.
>> And that's hard for people to really
understand. And until you listen to
people like Mike Benz where he breaks
down how NOS's work and how they fund
things
>> and the fact that like most of these
things are a [ __ ] scam. Most
nonprofits are a [ __ ] scam.
>> Definitely.
>> And it's hard for people to wrap their
head around that because you think of
nonprofit like, "Oh, my son works for a
nonprofit. Oh, he must be a good guy."
Yeah.
>> He's like trying to help. And maybe he
is a good guy. Maybe he starts out a
good guy. But then you you're corrupted
by this system that you realize like oh
no the nonprofit is essentially about
supporting the nonprofit and most of the
money goes to the supporting of this
organization. The overhead the structure
all all the infrastructure all the
people working there.
>> They all get paid very well and then a
little piece goes to whatever the [ __ ]
it is.
>> The people starting them the nonprofit
will be like okay first I'm going to
need this much money.
>> Exactly. Oh, you want to be my VP? I can
count on you. I'm You're going to make
this much money. So, that's what
happens. And then whatever's left is
like that's their, you know, that they
can't write off. That's what they
contribute.
>> Yeah. Um, what did I see this? Oh, this
is another one that I saw about
nonprofit hospitals.
Do you know that nonprofit hospitals are
the most profitable?
>> Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
They can just hide that money. They
charge crazy amounts for
>> How crazy is that? Like nonprofit are
the most profitable.
>> Yeah.
>> So this whole idea it's it's all just
[ __ ]
>> This most of what you think of as like
philanthropy is really like the Bill
Gates stuff.
>> Yeah.
>> There's a great book called [ __ ] what is
the name of the book? I read this book
of controls and it's all about how a lot
of these guys they they
realize that they were having public
image problems like particularly Bill
Gates like during the uh antirust
lawsuits with Microsoft.
>> Yeah.
>> Then he tr pivots to this Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation where it's all
about philanthropy but they're
philanthrop capitalists. All the
different philanthropy ventures are
extremely profitable. Like he made $500
million allegedly off the COVID vaccine,
off of his investments in this vaccine.
It didn't even [ __ ] work well.
>> Yeah, I think Trump got paid paid with
that, too. But it's like uh Yeah, it's
it, you know, the money thing. I don't
know. The citizens, the regular citizens
are the ones that pay the price for this
[ __ ]
>> Yeah, it's it's dark. And so here it is.
Put your heads headset on real quick.
Listen us this guy talk about
>> congressman recently described some
nonprofit hospitals as hedge funds with
hospital beds
>> person say that nonprofit hospitals were
like hedge funds with hospital beds and
I was like I bet they are what's going
on here because in the United States
more than half of our hospitals are
nonprofits but the hospital world
doesn't feel very nonprofity and then I
read this article by Scott Hodgej in the
Washington Post that talked about how
they need to be taxed and it turns out
that the total revenues of nonprofit
hospitals in America in 2023, so three
years ago, was $1.3 trillion. And it
turns out that they're getting a bunch
of taxpayer money. In fact, 3 years ago,
so this is probably a lot more now,
nonprofit hospitals were making $45
billion worth of profit. And as I
mentioned, we taxpayers give them a
bunch of money. In fact, in 2021, we
gave them $ 38 billion,
11.5 billion of it because they don't
have to pay any taxes. And that was 5
years ago. So, this is probably more
like 60 billion now. And the reason that
we hypothetically give them this money
as taxpayers is because they're supposed
to do charity. But there was a study
that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit
hospitals and found that 86% of them
provided little or no charity. And
that's because almost everybody that
goes to hospitals has insurance. Is
either private health insurance or
insurance from the government. Only 3%
of people don't have health insurance.
And it's not like the hospitals give
them a deal. Turns out that the
government was checking this out around
2009. The hospital spun up a lobbying
campaign and got any requirements that
would basically define what kind of
charity they would have to do squashed.
So now it's kind of the honor system. So
I was like, where are those billions of
dollars going that the nonprofit
hospitals make in profits? Turns out it
goes to executives like these CEOs who
are getting paid about $4.5 million a
year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about
70K. 4.5 million a year here. apparently
management consultants getting billions
of dollars from nonprofit hospitals. And
here's a guy, Robert, at a hospital in
New York who paid himself $15.3 million
a year. Nonprofit hospital. And there
are really good nonprofit hospitals that
are primarily funded by donations and
serve lowincome families and people in
need like St. Jude or like the Shriners.
But it looks like about 86% of these
nonprofit hospitals get 50 or 60 billion
from US taxpayers like you and me
because they're supposed to do some form
of charity. But they paid off the
government so they don't have to really
do charity. And some of their CEOs are
making $15.3 million a year while we
subsidize them with like $50 billion. Do
you think this is right? I saw this
conversation.
>> So this is P. Davis Jones on Instagram.
>> Mhm.
>> [ __ ] See, it's like it's again
it's just like the UFO thing. Y
>> it's there's distractions.
>> There's so much to pay attention to.
There's so much [ __ ] fraud and
there's so much. This is what Elon told
me when he started looking into the Doge
stuff. He's like, "It's impossible to
describe the amount of fraud."
>> He's like, "It's insane." That's what
Nick Shirley found in Minnesota when he
went to investigate the daycarees and
also found in California with hospice
care centers. There's entire motel where
every room was supposed to be an office
for some [ __ ] nonprofit and they're
all just siphoning money.
>> It's madness. So that's like that's what
it makes regular people like me like
what's the answer? It's like what's the
point to all this? Meanwhile, I'm paying
out my ass in taxes for [ __ ] like this.
>> Yeah.
>> And or for war.
>> It's like
>> Yeah. All of it's gross.
>> Yeah.
>> Every single Yeah. I mean, uh, what
we're going to have to have is some sort
of sort of like radical transparency
where all this stuff gets exposed and
gets exposed like probably with some AI
program and no one's going to want to
turn that on,
>> right?
>> They're never going to want everyone to
know exactly how much fraud and how much
[ __ ] terrible management they've done
with our money.
>> Oh,
>> like the Pentagon's never passed an
audit once. No, not one. Zero. And you
look at
>> you don't pass an audit, you're going to
jail.
>> For sure.
>> Yeah. Not that.
>> You look at Yeah. how much we're in
debt. All the shenanigans they do with
the public money. It's just like
>> that's over exaggerated. We're only in
debt $39 trillion. That's not a big
deal.
>> Isn't that crazy?
>> You know, the thing is they could just
print $39 trillion and it's done.
>> Yeah. Just pay it off.
>> The reason why they don't is because
they have really good control.
>> God, they're doing a great job.
>> It's a one one thing on this hunting
thing. I I do have to give credit to Dan
Gates and Howell. It's like they've done
a good job in Colorado like fighting
this. This is like been um we've won a
few things there. Um
>> have they tried to do the same thing
with Oregon in Colorado? The same kind
of thing.
>> Well, no. What Dan is doing, he's um
he's got out there initiative 302 and
it's going to make hunting and fishing
in Colorado a constitutional right.
>> Okay. So hopefully that you know how
these just like this this lobbyist and
this IP28 they're seeing what works and
what they can get away with and kind of
planning for the future. Well, if Dan is
successful with this initiative 302
passing that will be like how we can
address this in the future to protect
hunting and fishing because if it can go
through there this is like the litmus
test for it then okay maybe we can do
this in other states also. So, this is a
big one coming up they're working on
right now. But, I mean, we have to we
just have to get more savvy politically
to when they're doing [ __ ] like this, we
have to be more in tune, you know, and
educated on it.
>> God, it's such a bummer, though, because
like the people that I know like Mike
Benz that do this all day. I do not
envy.
>> I mean, Mike Benz makes these live
streams where he's just exposing and
they they last for hours. Like, who's
going to go through them all? Well,
>> and he's exposing all these different
companies.
>> Be nice. be positive.
>> We didn't do any of that.
>> How do how do you how do you talk about
this?
>> It's hard
>> in a nice and positive way.
>> It's very very very difficult. Very
especially because these are real
problems.
>> I la last on my li Well, I don't know
what's up on the list, but uh um Oh, I
do want to talk about this Pokemon. I
want to shout out Ryan Callahan from
Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. He you
know Ocal.
>> Sure. Sure. Great guy.
>> Bust his ass for this [ __ ] Martin
Heinrich, which is he's a senator there
in New Mexico. He's I think he's a
Democrat. I don't give a [ __ ] about
Democrat, Republican, whoever. He just
fights for public lands and he's a
badass. And then also Ron Weiden there
in Oregon, who normally I'd probably
never agree with anything on cuz, you
know, it's just different. But he is he
does get I want I want to give those
guys credit for trying their best to
protect and fight against this public
land selloff. and Mike Lee and um this
energy re resource committee which is
you know they're beholden to a different
set of values. Usually it's money
related and these guys are kind of
fighting for for the guys like us who
just enjoy being out in the mountains.
>> So you know you're being positive.
>> Yeah. I just wanted to tell those guys
are doing great. But um I I was going to
bring this up. This is like the whole
scandal I've been involved with
recently, which is feels like a lot for
me, which I don't like, but I my point
on it is I feel like um Well, let's
explain the scandal before you get into
that. So, you won the Oregon Marathon in
your uh age category.
>> Yeah.
>> And then someone started complaining
because you had taken BPC 157.
>> Yep. which is a band substance.
>> Yeah.
>> So, you had take, for people that don't
know, as ridiculous as it sounds, Cam
broke his foot like two years ago. You
broke your foot like two years ago and
you never got it fixed. So, all these
miles you've been running, you've been
running with a broken foot
>> and uh you went to ways to Well, they
treated your foot with stem cells and
they injected BPC57 into your foot to
help
>> help your foot heal. Um, is it healed
now? Is the bone like fused up?
>> Yeah.
>> What did it do? It just grew back.
>> Yeah, finally. It was like It took a
while cuz I didn't stop running.
>> And what does it look like now on an
X-ray?
>> It's like kind of the the bone is it was
a big break, like a pretty wide break,
which is why the the surgeon didn't know
if it was going to be able to the bone
was going to be able to make it across
there because I kept like
>> moving
>> moving it. And um and he told me he's
like, you know, with this this is I just
had the same surgery done on my my thumb
where the the ligament pulls a piece of
the bone off and breaks it, right? So
your ligaments and tendons very strong
the bone fracture. So what happened here
is I fell and I was doing a race and and
basically shredded my ligament, broke
this bone. So, they had to hope that the
bone was big enough to go attach it back
to where it broke from because bone on
bone healing is much better than
ligament to bone. It's like quicker,
right? So, we need a piece of that bone.
Well, in my foot, they said he didn't
know how big that piece that broke off
was. So, there's a chance that it it
wouldn't reattach through surgery. So,
which means he'd have to take the
ligament back to it. It's called a Jones
fracture. It's on the outside of my
foot. And um hope it it connected. But
that would be like stretching that
ligament beyond where it was supposed by
design.
>> So it probably change the function of
your foot.
>> It would it would change the dynamic of
my foot and how my foot and I run I have
a good stride. I run well and I'm and he
said there's no guarantee that this will
attach like it should or that you know
you need another surgery if this doesn't
work and then another one to get the
hardware out. So I'm just like I really
don't want to do two or three surgeries.
let's see if we can try other treatments
less invasive. If I can just deal with
this pain for long enough, would my foot
heal? And it has. Um, so I was like very
interested in not getting the surgery
based on, you know, he's a a renowned
surgeon and he does all the surgeries on
the Oregon football team. He's a stud.
Trust totally trust him. But I heard
what he was saying about like, hey,
there's no guarantee this is going to
work perfect. And I took that to heart.
So
>> when did you have the injury? How long
ago was It was June 16th of 2024.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Quite a long time ago,
>> right? So,
>> basically a solid two years.
>> Yeah. So, I went in and I dealt with it
for I mean it hurt for a long time. I
just didn't want to stop living, you
know, and I'm like, "Okay, if it's just
pain, I have a very high pain tolerance.
I don't care. I'm going to block that
out and just do what I do." So, I did. I
did I did everything. I did all my
hunts. I did races. And it was terrible.
And but I made it. I made it through and
my foot's healed. But so broke it in
June, went into ways 12 I think in July,
went back in November, which is when I
got that stem cell back in it. And uh
when they put in the BPC there, that
that one time in November and um so that
was like that was a thing. And all I
said, you know, I had a very fast Eugene
marathon time for me. Um I'm healthier
than now than I've ever been. I've
retired. I've done more specific
training. all these people, you know,
I've been labeled as like a doper,
right? Like almost like Lance Armstrong,
like that.
>> Well, you've been labeled by one very
specific person that is a professional
runner
>> who's also a vegan and has been very
vocal about you in an anti-hunting way.
So, he's got that and and you're also
your time your running time. He's is he
18 years younger than you?
>> Yes.
>> And your running time is very similar to
his.
>> His last marathon? Yeah.
>> Yeah. And your running time of this
year's marathon, which you won in your
age class, is quicker than last year's
by quite a bit.
>> Yeah.
>> What people don't understand is last
year your [ __ ] foot was broken.
>> I didn't run last year cuz I was hurt.
So it was quicker than like the year
before,
>> right? Was your foot broken then?
>> No.
>> No. Okay. So, your time is quicker now
than it's ever been before after
recovering from your broken foot.
>> Yeah. And
>> that's amazing.
>> It's
>> But how much quicker? 10 minutes.
>> It was My best time was in My very best
time was in 2006. Uh me and Lance
Armstrong, we did the New York Marathon.
I didn't even see him during this one,
but I ran 250, like 21 in New York. I
ran 250 quite a few times, like Boston
when I ran with Lance in 2008. I did run
250 again and that's when we finished
together. Um, and you know, Trruit and I
were talking about this too just the
other day because Trruit, my son, he's
going for the Olympic trials qualifier
in the marathon, which means he needs to
run quicker than a 216. So, we were
talking about this and and it's just my
training and even his training because
I'm not a coach and I don't know. I just
run to get in shape for bow hunting,
okay? I don't I'm not a pro. Um, but and
I had him run and he's very talented,
but I didn't know how to coach him
either. So, he hired a real coach. And
when you start getting into this
marathon training and specifics of it
and why you do certain certain exercises
and why there's certain stimulus from I
mean, I just had the winner of the
Eugene Marathon on my podcast and we did
a really fast run. We ran a 506 mile,
which I had never done at mile seven of
an eight mile run. And then he said,
"Okay, my His name's Jack Sadell. He's
like an amazing athlete, has 1400
followers, which is kind of crazy that
this amazing talented people have a
small amount of following, but their
talent is incredible." So, he wanted I
ran with him just the other day and he
said, "Oh, I need to do eight 100 meter
strides, which is simply essentially
sprinting." after we ran super hard
eight miles, climbed 3,000 a 3,000 or
2,000 foot mountain and uh did this fast
pace, but he still had to get the
stimulus needed for what he's asking his
body to do, which is qualify for the
Olympics. Right? So, the stimulus is
what I've never done before. I've never
got on the track and did it. All I ever
did was just go run. I just run. It's
what I do. It's like, how do I move this
needle in the right direction in a
positive way? I got to put in work. How
I'd put in work was I'd go run mile
after mile after mile, some days 20
miles a day because I felt like that was
a a noble sacrifice for me and for
achieving what goals I wanted, which was
bow hunting related, not not racing
related. Well, with Truit taking on this
Olympic trials qualifier journey, he's
he's been doing the stimulus, hired a
coach, and like, "Hey, Dad, you need to
do this type of stuff." You know, get on
the track. You wouldn't think you need
to get on track to run 26 miles quick,
but you do because you need the stimulus
for your body. I had never done any of
that. I had never got enough sleep. I
would sleep, you know, if I was going to
do a marathon a day and still be at work
10 hours a day, I'd have to get up at
start at 2:45 a.m. And I did. And
sometimes I wouldn't go to bed until
midnight. I didn't care about sleep.
You'd have Ma Dr. Matthew Walker on
here. I'd say, "Fuck that dork. I'm not
listening to sleep." It's like, "I don't
need sleep. I can still perform. Look
it, I just ran 26 miles yesterday on two
hours of sleep. But I wasn't performing
at my best because my I had to overcome
my body fatigue. So for decades, I would
work. Didn't miss a a day of work in 26
years. Never called in sick once. Always
get my miles in. Always get my work
done. I was leading the crews. People
relied on me to be a good leader. I had
to be there. I'd still put in this work.
I would not get any sleep. My body was
so depleted. I still did everything I
needed to do at the highest level I
could. Turns out the highest level I
could given those circumstances was a
250 marathon. All right. So, I required
three or I mean I retired three years
ago. Now I'm getting sleep. Now I'm
doing sauna, cold pluns. I get, you
know, I spend, let's see, spend 2,000
bucks a month on massage and body work.
Um, and now with more specific training,
like last year I ran with Truit. He ran
238 in Boston, 234 in Eugene. We went on
a run right before that. He said, "Dad,
I can't keep up with you. You You should
be going for the sub 230." He's trying
He was trying to break 230. He goes,
"You should be going for the sub 230.
You're you're faster than me." So, this
was last year, but then I got hurt. So,
last year I was going to break this same
record. This year I've been healthy.
I knew I was going to get my fastest
time ever. I put up a a post and I said
PR or ER. I'm either getting a personal
record or I'm going to the emergency
room. I'm sending it. So I said PR ER
and I got a PR. I got 23911.
One of the fastest ever for a
58-year-old. And it's like that caused
people to pay attention which I get.
It's a very fast marathon for somebody
almost 60 years old. But you have to
look at the that the full picture and
say like this wasn't some just guy who
just started running been running. I've
been running since I'm 5 years old. I'm
58. I was running pushing myself at five
running further than any other kid in
school winning an in awards. That was 53
years ago. Okay. I've been doing this a
while. I haven't been training
specifically because I didn't care. And
so this guy said, "Oh, have, you know,
he's like mad that I was so fast. He's
talked [ __ ] about Truid. I don't," and
I'm trying to be nice and be positive,
so I'm not going to say his name. I'm
not going to I understand people who
want to protect clean sport. I applaud
USADA. I applaud Watada. I applaud Clean
Sports. I love it. It's it's it's
required for Olympic athletes to get
their just do. Um, for me, he he said,
you know, he's talked [ __ ] about TRIO,
which he's already on my radar. Cuz I
remember Truit said, "Hey, there's this
elite guy who's saying that I'm
dishonoring the marathon because I have
no chance of getting this standard and
you know, I said, "Who?" And he said,
>> "Why is that dishonoring the marathon?"
>> Because he was saying like true was so
far away from his time that it was
unrealistic to even put that as a goal.
My my point was he's a runner just like
you. He has a big dream just like you
had. Why [ __ ] on his dream? Somebody
says that that this dream, they want to
do it. You're running.
>> How would it be dishonorable to have a
lofty ambition? That doesn't even make
sense. It
>> that was just words. It the words are
associated because he's my son.
>> So that's all that amounted to. Um
>> but I he was on my radar for that
because Truit told me and I said, "Who?"
And I had didn't even really know who it
was. Looked him up. I'm just like,
"Yeah, [ __ ] whatever. So anyway, I knew
the name. Well, he comes on my page
after this and he says something like he
dug up this old post from like 2011,
which is still up there and it talked
about the [ __ ] I was taking from it was
like complete nutrition which is like
GNC
>> and it was you know if you go to GNC
like you know mass gainer 2000 like
everything seems like it's a steroid.
It's over the counter. It's not [ __ ]
steroids. You can't buy steroids over
the counter. Everything that on that
thing that I was doing, I was sponsored
by Complete Nutrition. All over the
counter supplements. It's like there's
no [ __ ] EPO on here. It's like what
these people try to make it sound like.
It was just [ __ ] that I was lifting
weights.
>> This is from 15 years ago,
>> 2011. It's a It's a blog post. He still
has it. Yeah.
>> It's like like I said, praying around
like a trophy. It's like [ __ ] over
the counter. Whatever.
>> So
he said I said, "Are you still talking
about that?" This is like late at night.
I was kind of irritated. Didn't doesn't
guy irritates me anyway. So he said,
"Could you pass a USADA drug test?" And
I said, "I have no idea. It has nothing
to do with me. I don't give a [ __ ]
Probably not, though, because I I didn't
actually I didn't even know, but I know
it's very restrictive." And I've had a
lot of Olympians and things on my show.
We don't talk about the drug test stuff.
We're just like, we just go running.
Well, what what stuff would you take had
you taken that wouldn't allow you to
pass a drug test?
>> Like the stuff you're taking now? Like
what supplements can you not take?
Because there's a lot of stuff that
people just take normally that you can't
take. Peptides are one of them, right?
>> I certain peptides. Certain peptides.
>> I think you can take certain ones, but
>> I don't even know cuz I decid I had
never looked at the list. I tried to
with this when this came up. Well,
there's the other thing is uh a lot of
people fail just by taking supplements
>> because there's third party there's
contamination of supplements. That's
that's what happened to Sugar Ali with
ostine. It's happened to you know a lot
of athletes
>> with this. Most of the stuff that you
would buy at like a GNC probably an
Olympian couldn't take or they'd have to
check it out, right? Because it's like
how clean is a lab? how, you know,
susceptible is to contamination. So, a
lot of them like they're thinking about
this [ __ ] every day. Like, it's their
whole life. If they get if they pop hot,
their career is over.
>> Yeah.
>> So, it's it's a huge
>> I had Jordan Burroughs in here and he
wouldn't even uh try a Kill Cliff CBD
drink.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> He's like, I don't think I can take
this.
>> Well, I had Cheeto in on my show and I
said, "Hey, you want to try a ketone?"
He's like, "I don't I don't So he called
Jeff Ninsky
>> and he said, "Could I take this ketone
IQ?" And Jeff said, "Well, depends on
what batch is approved." So the batch of
the ketone IQ that was made has to be
approved. The other batch might not be
approved. So you could fail from that
other batch. I didn't know any of that
[ __ ] but he called him right right
before we did it. So he didn't take it.
It's just like So there's things like
that where it's just it's nonstop. I
don't know if I can take this, this,
that. I've never been in that position
because I'm I just run to bow hunt. I've
never looked at these lists. I've never
done anything. But a lot of stuff that,
you know, pseudafed is on there. Um ADHD
medicine is on there, you can't take or
you have to get what they call a
therapeutic use exemption. So, say if
you were a regular guy and you had low
testosterone and you wanted to do TRT,
you could get that approved through a
therapeutic use exemption. That's very
interesting. Through a doctor, you can
run in the marathon with a therapeutic
use exemption of testosterone, which is
a legitimate performance-enhancing.
>> Theoretically, I I don't know if they'd
have to look at your numbers and where
you're at and like if this was real.
>> Well, you're supposed to take a very
specific amount. Like this was the issue
with the UFC when the UFC had tues
>> when they had TRT, VTOR, those those
days when guys were taking like large
amounts of that [ __ ] And that's
actually what stopped the program is
that people started testing like off the
[ __ ] charts for testosterone and they
realize like, okay, these guys are
straight up juicing.
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> So, but if you're a 60-year-old person
and you want to run the marathon and
you're on testosterone, it's legal.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It and it and it should be.
It's like um the TUE thing is still
probably abused in some ways because we
know these doctor patient relationships.
You can say, "Hey, I want to do this.
Can you make it sound like this?"
>> Right. Of course,
>> and that's that's always going to be the
case.
>> I'm not even I'm not even talk all I'm
saying is like for and I talk to
Olympians about this situation because I
want to make sure I understand it,
right? It's like if if I'm as a regular
citizen, so there's 9,000 runners in the
Eugene Marathon. Are we all going to be
held to the standard of Olympic
athletes? That's
>> right. Are they testing everybody in the
Eugene Marathon?
>> They didn't test anybody.
>> Anybody. So there's there's prize money
that that's paid out. There's Olympic
trials qualifying standards which are
met. So now you're in the Olympic
trials. And and I don't want to [ __ ] on
the Eugene Marathon because these small
smaller marathons, they don't have the
money to be testing 9,000 people or
probably these tests are expensive. So
there there's something to like if it's
a USATF, so United States of America
track and field association. If it's one
those events and it's for like a world
championship or it's for like a a a team
position, I get it and it does need to
be for the Eugene Marathon with 9,000
people. It's not realistic to say we're
going to drug test everybody or if
you're taking whatever you need a
therapeutic use exemption because do you
think USADA could review say if people
are taking three or four different
medications times 9,000 they don't have
the resource to to go through all those
ties right it's not realistic so there
should be in my opinion two categories
you got your regular runners which I'm
in and you got your elites which are
susceptible to this drug testing and
these requirements and that's totally
fair and I get that and it's kind of why
I've waited into this and said I'll be
the poster boy for this. I'll admit that
I took BPC57
to try to avoid surgery on my foot and
two years ago
>> and whatever the fallout, right?
Whatever the fallout is is what it is
because this needs to be discussed
because I talk to all these regular
people who are doing all this stuff just
to be healthy to enjoy something that
they love which is running or competing
in races and everybody like on the other
side on you know say the clean sport
side which I am on that side too trust
me I I want I want clean sport but
they're like saying that like my time
was so fast
it's almost into this they talk about
this age graded thing where like this
guy who brought it up said age greater
like so what that I think is what that
looks at is like in my prime if I ran a
239 at age 58 what was my potential when
I was in my prime right and it would is
super fast like you know like world like
210 or 212 which would have won the
Olympics back when I was 25 you know
what I mean so I understand why my time
it's just like I'm almost too fast as a
regular citizen
to and it's kind of like this gray area
like
should he be tested or I I whatever. But
all I'm saying like if the rule is to
test or if I know the rules, I'm down,
dude. I'm I'm all for it. That's why
I've been so transparent about what I've
taken and what I've done and what I was
trying to avoid with the surgery.
>> But it's also an important hiding
there's an important point about the
sign up thing
>> for the Eugene Marathon. If there's if
you're supposed to not take certain
supplements that's supposed to be stated
in in the marathon signup, right?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And it's not.
>> Yeah. And I and I don't I've never I I
hardly look at that, but there's now
after all this, I looked at the waiverss
because, you know, USADA has been they
send me two really nice emails, just
lovely emails that I haven't responded
to. Um, and they they're trying to do
the best they can, but if these waivers
say, um, I looked at the waiver for I
did two races this year, Eugene Marathon
and Coca-Con 250, and the waivers
mention liability and insurance things.
Doesn't mention anything about US ATF or
drug testing or any of these
requirements. There's no mention of
What's also what the the thing that
doesn't make any sense is first of all
BPC57 is not a performance-enhancing
substance.
>> Yeah. What
>> it it it helps heal soft tissue
injuries. It's very good for recovery
from injuries.
>> That was one that's one issue. The other
issue is it was two [ __ ] years ago.
There's no way that's affecting you in
this year's Eugene Marathon. That is
long out of your system.
>> It's a smoke screen. You know, we've
talked about smoke screens here. is
>> but what he's doing is he's basically
he's accusing you because you took BBC57
and he's saying you're lying about doing
all these other things.
>> I've been called a liar, a cheater, a
doper, uh stealing. It's like
>> Yeah. But it's all fine. But this is
essentially what we were talking about
earlier.
>> Yeah.
>> What we were talking about earlier about
people that are outliers that are like
super successful and they be [ __ ] that
guy, that guy cheats, that guy this,
that guy that. Same [ __ ] thing. Yeah.
>> This guy can't appreciate that. Here's a
guy who was running a [ __ ] marathon a
day while working an 8 hour job. I was
your friend then.
>> This is real. I know you did this. I was
always telling you to quit your job.
>> Yeah.
>> I was the first guy telling you quit
that [ __ ] job. You're killing
yourself. I was worried about you
because
>> I know that your mind is so strong that
you are willing to push your body to the
point where it could actually fail. And
willpower is really important. Um having
a strong will will get you through so
much in life that other people will not
be able to pass. They will not be able
to break through. But will could also
get you killed, you know, and it could
also ruin your life. You could hurt
yourself to the point, you know, you
hurt your back or something to the point
where you never recover. It never comes
back. Like you have to there's like a a
fine line between mental toughness and
and just being able to see the big
picture and go it's actually smart to
not be tough here. And it's not to deny
my toughness. I got to know that I am
tough and have confidence in my
toughness enough to give my body a break
and rest myself.
>> That's why I was always worried about
you because you were doing things with
no [ __ ] sleep. And I saw it. I know
you did it. I watched that guy's not
doing this. And you have to understand
that the kind of willpower that a guy
like you has or a guy like Gogggins has
where they can do things where people go
no one could do that. The [ __ ] they
can't like how many UFC fighters have
you seen go and train with Gogggins and
they're like Israel Adisagna world
champion world class guy throwing up at
a [ __ ] garbage can keep up with him.
Tony Ferguson like who is known in the
MMA world for [ __ ] superhuman
endurance. Tony Ferguson would just walk
people down in his prime. He was El
Coule. He was the [ __ ] boogeyman cuz
he never got tired. And even if you
heard him, it didn't matter. He was
going to recover and come back after
you. He's coming. He was coming for your
[ __ ] soul.
>> That guy was breaking down. Everybody
breaks down. And it's
>> He's doing it in silence. No one even
knows. He's doing it with no music. He's
doing it by himself. No one's pushing
him.
>> He's a [ __ ] full-on psychopath. They
are real. There's real people out there
that are really living like that.
>> This guy should look at that and take
inspiration from it. But he's got these
ideological differences with you because
he's a vegan and because he thinks
hunting is cruel and you're an [ __ ]
and you're killing animals and meanwhile
he needs to eat one of them [ __ ] bear
sticks. They're [ __ ] delicious. Give
me another one. I want I want another
one. [ __ ] awesome. They're they're
great. But it's just
>> it's just what we're talking about. It's
if you and that guy actually had a
conversation. Thank you. If you and that
guy actually had a conversation and you
were civil and there was no cameras and
it was just two human beings having a
conversation, I I guarantee you probably
have way more in common than you do not,
you know, outside of the ideological
differences about hunting and veganism
and maybe a lack of understanding about
what even veganism entails because
because most of it entails largecale
monocrop agriculture. If you're if
you're just buying plants, you are
responsible for the death of a [ __ ]
countless number of creatures. Yeah.
Fact. End of story. Especially if you
start talking about bees and avocados
and almonds. Oh, I'm eating almonds. I'm
healthy. You [ __ ] killed a 100red
billion bees. All right, stop.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh outside of that, what are you both
doing? You're both pushing yourself to
the limits of your ability. And maybe if
that guy had a bear stick or two and had
some real protein, he'd have a better
time.
>> Well, I I I mean
>> that's true, too, right?
>> Yeah. I'm
>> He needs some real [ __ ] protein.
>> I am friends with a lot of people just
like him in belief and like on the
political spectrum or even the diet
spectrum. And I it hasn't affected our
friendship at all because what I focus
on is what do we have in common? We love
the mountains. We love to run. We love
to push ourselves. I don't need to align
with everybody 100%. So, I'm I'm friends
with tons of liberal people and love
them. It's like has nothing to do with
anything. It's uh but for for him, you
know, I was on the radar for a few
different reasons. This gave him like
the reason why like like BPC 157 is
banned for Olympians, not for a regular
person. Regular people can take it,
right?
>> So, I'm just like he's like, "Do you
know what the rules are?" And I'm like,
I don't give a [ __ ] about the rules. So
then he turned that into like he doesn't
care about the rules. He's going to do
everything anything he wants. I'm like,
no, I don't care about rules that don't
apply to me. I'm just like
whatever. So the rules that apply to me
are is this rule. And it's like if you
want to talk about rules, I follow
rules. Like I talked about purchasing,
you know, when I was a the the buyer at
my old job for 20 years, I had to go by
laws and rules every day. And so I'm I
respect that is if it has to do with me
if it like affects me. I'm like, "Okay,
I understand it." Well, this one, you
start bringing up these USATF sanctions
and what I need to know when I sign a
waiver for a race and and I look at the
waiver and the waiver doesn't mention
anything about this. This says if the
USF sanctioned event is, you know, if
we're talking drug testing, it says
related published materials must contain
the following language. So, when I see
that it says it must contain the
following language in my contract days,
I'm like, well, that didn't say should
or it didn't say may because should and
may means it doesn't have to,
>> right?
>> When it says must,
it must. So, it says it must say this.
athlete who participate in this compet
in this comp competition may be
subjected to formal drug testing in
accordance with US blah blah blah. So
basically it has to have this language
and it has to spell out exactly what it
is. Their rules, their own rules say it
must be included. I've never seen this
language. It was never included in
anything that I've agreed to with these
in regard to these races.
>> So there's no responsibility to go to
the website and find out what the
standards are just the waiver. Even if
they had a link like
>> okay right and so if they said if you
are going to race you must be held to
the standards of this race you can go
visit them on this website
>> that's fine I would be like oh that was
my bad I didn't do that
>> they never mentioned it so if somebody
said like I didn't know BPC was banned
for Olympians at all before this I just
thought that it was another maybe you
could get a TUE for I or I didn't even
know what TUE was but because I just
it's not my world my world is bow
hunting I just try to get in as good
shape as I can.
>> You're not trying to do it for money.
You're just doing it to
>> I've never won money. I've never been on
a a national team. If I wanted to be, if
that was what I was going to do, I would
know everything about the rules,
everything about what I could take or
what I couldn't take. I mean, you can't
take THC, you know? I mean, they say you
can take it, but not on the day of
competition. So, you know how long THC
is in your system?
>> Yeah.
>> So, you took it the day before, but you
didn't but you're still going to test
hot for it.
>> Can't run high.
>> Yeah. But
but as long as that lasts in your
system, how are they going to prove if
you took it that morning?
>> Well, they would have to be able to test
your levels right after you race and
they could determine whether or not you
were actually intoxicated during the
race. That's how uh Nick Diaz got popped
by Takanori Gome.
>> They said his his [ __ ] levels were
off the charts.
>> Probably. Um, I don't believe it was uh
I believe that was I think that was
Pride and I think it was the first time
that Pride had an event in the United
States and they had it in Vegas, I
believe. See if that's that's right. It
was a long time ago. I want to say this
is
>> god I want to say like 2005. It was a
big win when Nick beat Takorigi. Takeni
was one of the big stars uh over in
Pride and uh Nick uh he got him with a
go-go plat which is a crazy submission
off your back where you use the shin
against a guy's neck and you're grabbing
your foot from behind his head and nasty
>> but uh they said he was off the charts.
They said he was high as a kite when he
was fighting which I [ __ ] love.
>> But you you're not allowed to do that
and I think for good reasons. I don't
think you should be allowed. But look,
um the the the reality of uh these drug
tests are is that um if you're saying to
a person that you can't take it the day
of the competition,
>> and they're a regular user. They're
they're they're going to have a lot of
THC in their system, right? They just
are. And also, you could you could take
a very high dose of edibles the day
before a race and you would still be
intoxicated the day of the race.
>> That's that's um
>> So, what year was this?
>> Apparently, the commission felt the
level which Diaz tested at 175 was a
considering factor in his performance
during the fight. Dr. Tony Alamo, the
commission's chair, said that so it was
Nevada a result of uh 15 is considered
positive. But Nevada State Athletic
Commission has a threshold of 50 tests
positive for THC. They feel very
comfortable that everybody that tests
positive in Nevada is truly positive.
Mr. Diaz was 175. This creates a unique
situation. Uh I was there at the fight.
I believe you were intoxicated and that
it made you numb to the pain. Did it
help you win? I think it did.
>> I don't you know, listen, Diaz is going
to be numb to the pain anyway. He's one
of the toughest [ __ ] dudes that's
ever lived.
>> Yeah. I don't I don't know if you can
make that argument. Did it help you win?
Uh I think it probably relaxed him. He
likes it. He, you know, he probably
could go out there high and fight more
in his element, but he could fight in
his element anyway. He was one of the
best fighters on earth at the time. He's
a worldclass fighter. The idea that that
helped him win is like,
>> yeah,
>> prove it.
>> Prove it. He was beating everybody
anyway.
>> It's a stretch. It's like I just don't
think that we need to be opening the
Pandora's box to testing 9,000 people or
having them, you know, like
>> Well, it's also be realistic about what
you're saying because what you're saying
is if all you did was take that drug,
uh, it's not even a drug, take that
peptide in 2024 for a broken foot,
there's no [ __ ] chance that helped
you win
a a marathon two years later. It does
not help other than the fact that it
helped to heal your broken foot. That's
not performance-enhancing. It's just
not. This guy's kind of a hater. Not
even kind of. He's a hater.
>> It was
>> which I understand.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I mean I admitted that I
took it and it's like at that and I
actually that night I remember I didn't
even know when that was. I [ __ ] can't
remember when I go went to wage wells
like I don't I thought it was like six
months ago. I couldn't even [ __ ]
remember. So then I got a hold of him. I
said, "No, I need, you know, the details
of my my treatment." And it, you know,
it was in November of 2024. And I'm
like, "Okay." But anyway, that night I
said, "Yeah, I've done stem cell. I've
done TRT before and mentioned BPC57."
And it's like I didn't know when that
was, but I just kind of because he was
like coming at me. I'm just like, "No,
[ __ ] off. It's like I do all this. I
don't know whether this is approved or
not. It doesn't has nothing to do with
me. I'm not an elite athlete. I'm
[ __ ] bow hunter." So I was like kind
of wanted to just let's [ __ ] on him at
that time. Well, he got what he needed
cuz admitting to taking BPC for like
Olympian is a huge deal because it's
banned
just for them, not for me. And that then
he could go to USADA and say, "Oh, this
guy took a ban." And they're, you know,
now they're like, it sucks. It's like
they're in a position where I don't
know. It's just like so much the public
knows about it so much. It's like, you
know, I got articles about me and
talking about all this crazy [ __ ] and
I'm just like, I was just trying to not
have two or three surgeries. It's just
like I'm not trying to win a [ __ ] the
my age category of marathon. And then
they'll turn it into like, well, that's
not fair to the other people who are are
performing clean. It's just like it's
not we don't even know who's what people
are taking. It's like I'm not even in
this field of this elite field where
this is all I did was admit I was
truthful. Everybody else just lies.
>> Yeah. Well, maybe maybe lies maybe
doesn't. But the the the point is a
giant percentage of people right now are
taking peptides because they're very
beneficial to help heal injuries. And if
you're going to run marathons like the
way you run them with very fast times,
>> you're probably training really hard. If
you're training really hard, you're
probably going to get injured.
>> Yeah. You know, it's just but it's a
hater thing is what it is. Or he's
accusing you of lying, which I know
you're not a liar. So, this is the
thing. He's he's
attacking your character. But it's also
the fact that
>> you know that quote that I love, all
criticism is the tragic result of unmet
needs. This guy's an elite athlete. No
one knows who he is. Yeah.
>> You know, that's part of the problem.
And then when someone who's very popular
is creeping in on his times, like that's
like how how's that possible? He's 18
years older than me. [ __ ] this guy. No
one ever wants to think that someone
actually works harder than them.
>> No. No. And or Yeah. I mean, and and I
get that. I mean, I I'm a human, too. I
understand how that can happen. But like
to call me like a doper trying to
discredit everything I've I've done,
it's just like it's so not even real.
The approach to use is to just be
honest, lay it all out, and leave it
alone. Yeah.
>> Uh I don't think like going after this
guy and talking a lot of [ __ ] is in any
way beneficial.
>> I don't I don't want I want him I want
everyone to succeed. I don't have
anything personal against this guy. I
didn't like he was talking [ __ ] about
Truit. I didn't
>> But even that, it's just it's just
haterade.
>> He just sees Truit running with those
[ __ ] perfect jeans on and looking all
handsome. He's also a little too buff to
be a marathon runner, which drives
people nuts, too.
>> Yeah.
>> And then he also won the world pull-up
challenge. Like, look, when someone
breaks the world record in pull-ups,
that isn't a [ __ ] extraordinary human
being. Period. And for you to discredit
that person in marathon running after
they've done that, well, you're a fool.
Cuz this isn't just a regular person,
right? This is a person who broke the
world [ __ ] record for chin-ups or
pull-ups.
>> Yeah.
>> That's a crazy thing to do. to do
thousands
of pull-ups in 24 hours. Rip your
[ __ ] hands to shreds, that's an
extraordinary person. For him to not
recognize that, he's being a [ __ ]
>> Yeah, it
>> which is fine. It's a natural
characteristic that a lot of human
beings have and especially ones that are
not getting their needs met in terms of
the attention they feel they deserve and
who are ideologically opposed to you
because you're a hunter. What the the
traction he's got is because it's almost
like if you say, you know how some
people would say, oh, you're interested
in border security, like protecting the
border,
>> racist,
>> right? Right.
>> Racist, you're a Nazi,
>> right? You're a cheater.
>> So to to say that I'm a cheater or a
doper,
>> you don't have to say anything else
because then it's like, oh, that guy. So
now I'm I'm kind of tainted by with that
language
>> when the fact of the matter is this is
years ago.
>> I don't take any I mean
I I take plenty like fish oil,
magnesium, all this other [ __ ] Trace
gives me, but
the like the level of doping I know
about, I don't know [ __ ] I don't even I
don't know EP. I know we've talked about
this before, but I don't even know
really what EPO does other than make
like more red blood cells or something
so there's more oxygen. But I'm so like
illiterate on performance and like
peeds. I'm just like, I don't I don't
even take testosterone anymore because I
run better low, which is weird. And I
didn't know if this happened because
they say when you run like long
distances, extreme long distances, your
testosterone drops. I almost think
that's by design because I look at like
how these women have been performing at
these huge races with low testosterone
and higher estrogen. They perform
better. And so I'm just like, man, maybe
I don't need the TRT. Maybe. And so I
haven't like I had I had u I got a
prescription filled like last September
and I still have four of the things out
of 10. And
anybody who's a doper, they don't got
dope sitting around. Like if you had,
you know, I don't care if it's meth or
[ __ ] testosterone, if you have it,
you take it if you're a doper, right?
So, I haven't done it because I'm I
operate better with a low heart rate,
low testosterone, and I can run.
>> But,
>> well, and low body weight, too. That's a
big factor.
>> Yeah. I'm like 148 is what I got down to
when I
>> What are you right now?
>> Like 52.
>> Wow. When I met you, you were in the
80s.
>> Yeah. I was just lifting. I just I I
always ran, but I would run like five
miles a day. And I wanted to be like I
thought like for hunting I needed more
muscle to perform because I need to
carry heavy loads and things like that.
Now I've realized that I'm better with
extreme endurance and I'm still strong
for for like 148. Still very strong
compared to like a normal 148. So I I'm
still able to do the tasks I need to do.
Carry heavy loads when I kill.
>> You've optimized.
>> Yeah. So yeah. Well, this the big factor
is the weight cuz I'm pretty heavy.
Yeah.
>> And I I notice the difference, you know,
like I've lost when I hunted a few years
back, I got down to the 190s early like
like 192 or 193 and I felt way lighter.
>> Yeah.
>> Like you would think 10 lbs cuz right I
weighed 202 this morning. You would
think 10 lbs is not that big of a deal.
It's a big deal. It's a big deal.
>> When I work out uh and I put a 25 lb
weight vest on, it's amazing how much
harder it is to do chin-ups and push-ups
and dips. It's amazing. Yeah.
>> And it's only 25 lb. And you think about
how many people just normally carry 25
extra pounds. You're walking around all
day with a weight vest on, you know?
>> Well, and I've told Truth this, too.
It's like he's heavier, but every guy
lining up to run them the Olympic trials
qualifier or like when they run the
Olympic trials for the marathon, there
won't be anybody over like 140. So, I
said,
>> which totally makes sense. You're
fighting gravity.
>> Yeah. I mean, you got to be light. Yeah.
So I said, "You can't be 160 and
compete."
>> What is he at now?
>> He's like 58.
>> And what is he trying to get down to?
>> He's got to be in the 40s. Got to be
like 140 be.
>> Oh my god. He's going to look like
Skeletor.
>> The guy The guy who I just ran with who
ran Eugene and set the course record and
all that. He was 135. He's probably like
61.
>> Whoa.
>> That's just the name of the game,
>> right?
>> You like the East African super light.
the guy who just broke the world record
in the marathon,
>> he's like 135 or no no 115.
>> Jeez.
>> A tiny little guy. So it's like
>> makes sense.
>> That's just that's just performance.
That's just what it takes. A huge
engine, a light body,
>> right?
>> And uh so like to to paint me this way
when I was turned surgery, haven't taken
BPC since then. Um, it's just it's kind
of just
>> I think all you could do is state your
case and I think you just did and you
just did it really well and I know you
and I can speak for you. You are as
honest a human being as I've ever met in
my life. You don't lie about anything
and you are and it's also why you work
so hard. You work so hard so you don't
have to lie. I mean you're you're an
insanely hard worker.
>> I didn't I didn't lie about this either.
I mean and that's what I just said.
Yeah, I did. I didn't remember when but
looked it up. Here's when it was
whatever.
>> You know, this guy's got to get over it.
Maybe you should have a conversation
with him on Keep Hammer and Collective.
>> Yeah. I mean, I don't I would talk to
talk to anybody. I don't, you know, I
talk to people who feel differently than
me all the time.
>> People there's a there's also a problem
where people don't know someone and they
don't communicate with them. And so, you
kind of form a narrative and then you
fight that narrative. You know, you
attack that narrative. You you attack a
creation of who the person is rather
than the actual person. And people like
to do that because they like to turn
someone into a demon. You know, they
like to turn someone into an not even a
person. That's how people have to do
that with war. They love to do that with
religion.
>> It's easy to garner support with
keywords
>> using key words that nobody could defend
would be like, "Okay, we got that.
That'll work right there." And so that's
where, you know, the Nazi or the doper,
the racist, that's why those words are
always out there. Yep.
>> It's like because they're powerful.
>> Exactly. That's exactly. And when and
when you you know when you get boxed in
a corner, you can use those words and it
buys you some time.
>> Yeah, there's that. And then there's
also, you know, there's a lot of people
that don't have good personal insight.
They don't understand what they're doing
really. They think they're justified in
what they're doing. Really, it's just a
bunch of [ __ ] [ __ ] One thing that
I I did I think part of this um I I
don't want to be demonized about like
with the peptides because it shouldn't
be demonized but one thing I think a lot
of people because I as you said a lot of
people are taking these peptides a lot
of people are doing the TRT stuff. I
think that there was a big shift when
COVID happened as far as distrust in the
the health I mean basically our health
and wellness category like it started
maybe with Obamacare. Uh people are
having trouble getting in their doctors
quit because it's too frustrating. So
people, we've had a hard time getting
medical treatment like to be healthy and
then COVID happened and then they were
shoving down, you know, the vaccine down
our throats and turned out like it
wasn't as safe and effective as they
said. So I think people like they see
that the writing was on the wall. They
couldn't get into their doctor. The
doctor was like just writing
prescriptions. So then the wellness
clinics popped up, right? And it feels
like it was after COVID for now like you
got a ways to well and there's other
places like it where you can go in and
they care about how you feel. They want
you to they want to help you feel
better, like live like an optimized
life. Like you're old, but you don't
have to feel old. And so they're like,
they can do the blood panel where
getting a blood panel at your regular
doctor was like pulling teeth for a
while. It's like, no, we we don't need
to do that. But you go to a wellness
clinic, they'll do it, and they'll tell
you, "Yeah, you're deficient here. This,
this, or that. We could add this. We
could try this." Um, and then all of a
sudden, you start to feel better, and
you're like, "Well, these people care
about my health." the doctor what he
care about writing prescriptions and
then
>> yeah the doctors they're playing a
totally different game as we could see
from that hospital video that we just
watched
>> right so it's no wonder that waste well
is and like these these other treatments
maybe bypassing surgery and let's try
this peptide
>> I I see that it's kind of evolving and
it's changing and the sport of ultra
needs to also and running needs to to be
on board with that because most your
field aren't elites and aren't
Olympians,
>> right?
>> They're regular people who just are
trying to do what they enjoy. And that's
me.
>> While they're working a full-time job,
most of them. Yeah.
>> Well, I think you laid your case out and
I got to pee.
>> Yeah.
>> So, let's wrap this bad boy up and bring
it home.
>> Uh, congratulations on your bear hunt.
Those You got two giant monsters.
>> Oh, yeah. We got John and Jen.
>> Yeah. Shout out to John and Jen Rivet.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm going to try to come next year.
Swear.
>> Love those guys.
>> Love those guys. Um, I love that place
they have up there, too. It's crazy. And
uh for people who don't know um those
these these bear uh have no natural
predators other than grizzlies. They
have to be controlled. They are
devastating the moose and deer and elk
population up there because they kill
all the calves. They they they're
ruthless predators, opportunistic
hunters. They eat each other.
>> Ju just to put that in perspective in
Alaska they're flying out of helicopters
shooting bear.
>> Yeah.
>> Because
>> there's so many of them.
>> Not enough are getting killed. So they
wipe out all the unullet. Yeah.
>> So, it's like it it's an issue. You just
don't know about it. You don't People
don't know that Alaska is flying in
helicopters as leaving bear after they
kill them.
>> I know. And everybody thinks of bears as
Yogi. Yogi and Boo Boo. And you know,
>> come for a trip. Take a trip to Alberta.
I'll show you some real [ __ ]
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's
>> I remember when uh you know, I've told
this story. You know, Jen and I ran into
a grizzly once when we were out there.
Just briefly. We only saw it briefly.
We're like, "Let's get the [ __ ] out of
here."
>> Yeah. They they don't even hunt over
there anymore because too many
grizzlies. So that's like crazy.
>> That's quite a ways from where we hunt
now just because
>> that crazy
>> a grizzly starts coming in the bait.
That's got to get out of there.
Especially I like to sit on the ground
>> and they need to start hunting them up
them up there too.
>> They do.
>> And you know this is the when they
changed that law in BC, they made it a
[ __ ] disaster up there. There's so
many grizzly now. Yeah. And it's just
the people that live in these high
population areas that don't have any
encounters with them. And there it's
ballot box biology.
They're trying to be good people. Do you
want to outlaw trophy hunting? Yeah,
these cruel [ __ ] They just want to
shoot this animal for its skin.
>> Yeah, [ __ ] them. They just want to show
what a big man they are by killing an
animal. Like
>> that guy calls me a trophy hunter. Like
he's like he's like, "Oh, I understand
deer and elk hunting, but not bear."
It's just like,
>> well, you don't know what you're
>> Did you just eat How is that bear? We
just eat. How's that any different than
deer and elk? My daughter went to school
one day and they were asking what your
favorite food was and she said bear
candy because Steve Vanella taught me a
uh recipe called bear candy. How to make
this like it's like a you make it with
brown sugar and you cook this bear and
it's like a sweet and sour pork kind of
deal but with bear. It was [ __ ]
delicious. And I I served it for my kids
and my daughter I think she was just
trying to like jostle people up a little
bit. I ate bear.
>> Well, Jyn makes some badass bear stir
fry. Oh, it's fantastic. I mean, her
bear meat is fantastic.
>> I was just thinking to myself, Mountain
Offs has those new freeze-dried meals.
Maybe I need to get some
>> Right. and dehydrate it.
>> Get some bear meat in there.
>> Yeah. Yeah. His own food. He He does it
all in a dehydrator, then rehydrates it
in camp. He vacuum seals his own stuff.
>> Some of those meals, dude.
>> Yeah. Well, it's the best way to do it,
too. If you want to eat clean, if you
want to eat clean in the mountains, get
a dehydrator
>> for that energy because just like in
ultras and performing, what you're using
for calories matters
>> 100%.
>> So, especially on a long hunt, if you
can like we had I had some Mountain Ops
uh freeze-dried in there like chicken
Alfredo, that's just [ __ ] good
calories
>> 100%. And also electrolytes. Boy, I it
changed for me when I started using
element. when I started pro throwing
element in my water when I was out
there. Giant difference. Get those
electrolytes.
>> That's the first thing I drink in the
morning
>> is an element
>> because I know I'm cuz I run every day.
I know.
>> I I think I've been also like low on
sodium for a long time just because of
how much I run. Like I run so much like
I get sores here because my shirt gets
soaked with sweat
>> and wet clothes sitting on my skin has
makes all these soores from running for
hours and in a in a wet shirt.
>> That's crazy. I know guys wear their
nipples out. They have to put like
>> that. Yeah, that h I wear like I wear
