0:08

NIGHT. All day.

0:13

>> Special and then I just [ __ ] fell

0:14

off.

0:15

>> I had a margarita at dinner once and I

0:17

was like, "All right, I'm back."

0:18

>> Yeah, that'll do it. It's just that one.

0:20

You think I'll have one? It was nice. It

0:23

just I was drinking too much because

0:25

the, you know, owning a club there all

0:28

the time, you know, how everyone's like,

0:30

"You want a shot? You want a drink?"

0:32

>> Yeah. I can imagine when I'm at your

0:33

club, I get blackout drunk every time.

0:35

Like an actual problem. Like I walk down

0:36

the stairs, I'm like, "What the [ __ ]

0:37

just happened? I drink so much at the

0:40

mothership." Austin in general. Are we

0:41

on? Are we?

0:42

>> I think we're rolling. Yeah. The problem

0:43

is Shane.

0:45

>> Oh yeah. He's an animal. I don't know

0:47

how he does it. I did the Bridgestone

0:48

Arena with him on Friday night. Uh, I

0:50

mean, first of all, just insane. Like

0:52

20,000 people. I mean, [ __ ]

0:54

>> nuts.

0:55

>> Saturday night, I did 95 people at the

0:57

dojo of comedy.

0:58

>> Is that the first time you did a big one

0:59

in the round?

1:00

>> In the round is like oddly intimate,

1:03

isn't it? Cuz everyone's facing each

1:04

other.

1:05

>> Yeah. You can uh It feels like it's a

1:07

club around you on the bottom. You kind

1:09

of like It's so funny cuz people get

1:10

like so in their head. They're like,

1:11

"Dude, it's all these people. It's

1:13

crazy." I'm like, "I performed to half

1:15

sold out comedy clubs. Do you know how

1:16

much more nerve-wracking it is to make

1:18

eye contact with your fans that are

1:19

disappointed that they're in a half sold

1:20

out room that 20,000 people that are

1:23

just there to be like [ __ ] Shane?

1:25

>> It's one of those things you just do it

1:26

a couple of times and you get it gets

1:28

normal.

1:29

>> Yeah,

1:29

>> like all things.

1:30

>> I'm sure.

1:30

>> Yeah, like all

1:31

>> that's more fun, dude.

1:32

>> It is very fun.

1:33

>> Oh, it's so much more fun.

1:34

>> I would I would just so you guys know, I

1:36

would way rather perform to 20,000

1:37

people than 100.

1:39

>> I just want you to know that. I don't

1:40

know if that's a unique idea, but

1:42

>> Yeah. 100's good too though cuz a 100

1:44

really shows you if your bits are

1:46

[ __ ]

1:47

>> Yeah.

1:47

>> You know 100 shows you the weak links in

1:50

and bits.

1:51

>> You see them checking their phone.

1:52

>> No, it's in you feel it.

1:54

>> Yeah.

1:54

>> You feel like you're delivering them

1:56

horseshit,

1:58

>> you know? You you feel like you're not

2:00

appreciating what you're saying.

2:02

>> Yeah.

2:02

>> You know what I mean? Of course. And I

2:04

think it's also like uh it's it's such a

2:06

spectacle when you go to like an arena

2:08

where it's like people are like so lit

2:10

and pumped to just like be there.

2:12

They're so happy. They're so excited. I

2:14

I don't know how Sabrina Carpenter just

2:15

came up in my feed um from Coachella.

2:18

Little hot child. And uh she's like

2:21

this. All my algorithm is now Sabrina

2:22

Carpenter.

2:23

>> My daughter loves her.

2:24

>> I'm sure. Yeah. Uh my girlfriend loves

2:26

her. And

2:27

>> she's got some good jams. That espresso

2:29

song. That's a really good song.

2:30

>> Yeah. Manchild.

2:31

>> She's got some songs.

2:32

>> That's my [ __ ] dude. It's become my

2:34

[ __ ] I never heard any of her music

2:35

before this past week, but the Coachella

2:38

stuff has all been showing up and like

2:39

I'm watching these girls watch Sabrina

2:40

Carpenter.

2:42

>> They're so happy.

2:43

>> So happy.

2:43

>> There like nothing will like they're

2:45

like

2:46

>> just they're like just having the best

2:48

moment of their life. These 16-year-old

2:49

girls are like [ __ ] Sabrina

2:51

Carpenter.

2:51

>> That's why like people got to chill on

2:54

things that they think suck cuz it's

2:56

just not for you, man.

2:58

>> And that's okay.

2:59

>> Yeah, that's okay. Like spending all

3:02

your time dwelling on things that aren't

3:04

for you is so crazy.

3:06

>> It's a crazy thing.

3:07

>> It's such a waste of time.

3:08

>> It's internet culture. That's what it

3:09

is. Like the internet and social media

3:10

became a thing where we gave everyone a

3:12

voice. Everyone has to have an opinion.

3:14

Nobody wants to admit they're wrong,

3:15

right? And they have to have a hot take

3:17

everything that happens within minutes.

3:19

Y

3:19

>> not even a moment to to to let me

3:21

reflect. Let me just do a little bit of

3:22

research. Let me just look up a couple

3:24

facts. They just jump into whatever

3:25

their opinion is. And that's the same

3:27

thing when it comes to like um you know

3:29

entertainment and you know all you dude

3:31

you know better than any I was I was

3:32

talking to Jamie before like you and

3:33

Tony have become so big that it's become

3:36

like um like it's like culture. It's not

3:38

even like like I know you guys. You know

3:40

what I'm saying? So it's like it's but

3:41

it's like when I remove myself from it,

3:43

it's like you guys are as big as Sabrina

3:45

Carpenter. Like having a conversation

3:46

about Joe Rogan going to the White House

3:48

or Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella.

3:50

That's trending [ __ ] You know what I'm

3:52

saying? and people feel like they have

3:54

to come out and just give their opinion

3:55

on it right away. If you don't like it,

3:57

don't like it.

3:58

>> But that's also like if you don't want

4:01

people to have their opinions on you,

4:03

don't go to the White House.

4:06

>> That's a great point.

4:07

>> You know, like I don't fault them for

4:09

getting, you know, whatever, whatever

4:12

hot take, getting mad at me for whatever

4:14

reason, go ahead. Yeah,

4:15

>> that's that's your thing. You're you're

4:18

allowed to. You're supposed to like if

4:20

you're a comic, too. You're supposed to

4:22

[ __ ] on people if you think they're

4:23

doing something stupid.

4:24

>> Yeah. Do you get offended when comics

4:25

[ __ ] on you?

4:26

>> No.

4:27

>> Never.

4:27

>> No. I mean, I'm in the I'm in this weird

4:30

zeitgeist thing. I don't get offended.

4:32

Some of them I think it's lame because I

4:34

think I know them. Like, I'm friends

4:35

with them and they're like using me to

4:38

get clout. Like, if you really had a

4:40

problem with me, you could just text me.

4:41

Yeah.

4:42

>> You know, if you really

4:43

>> felt like I was an antiaxer and I was

4:45

endangering people's lives, [ __ ] text

4:47

me, bro. Do you know me?

4:49

>> Yeah.

4:49

>> It's weird. It's weird when people do

4:51

that and maybe they feel like an

4:52

obligation even though they know you to

4:55

speak publicly. There's a lot of people

4:56

that feel like they they have to use

4:57

their voice

4:58

>> like when something is wrong they have

5:00

to come out and say it which

5:02

>> also boredom. They just

5:03

>> I understand the inclination. I

5:05

understand the inclination and that

5:07

people will tell you that that you need

5:08

to use your voice. And if you feel like

5:10

you need to use your voice, okay? But

5:13

what I'm saying is there's far too many

5:15

people out there dwelling on things they

5:17

do not like versus things they like. And

5:21

this life is [ __ ] short.

5:23

>> It does. I am 58 years old. I'm almost

5:25

59. That's dead. That's old as [ __ ]

5:29

>> Yeah. 20 years best case scenario,

5:30

>> right? If everything goes great and what

5:32

are those 20 years like? I mean, I'm

5:34

holding it together thanks to ways to

5:36

well and and my obsessive need to work

5:38

out, but other than that, man, I feel

5:40

it. I feel it's slipping away. It's

5:43

gonna

5:44

>> It's crazy. Like, I'm 44. I just turned

5:45

44 a couple weeks ago, and like best

5:48

case scenario, like absolute best case

5:51

scenario,

5:51

>> midlife.

5:52

>> Midlife.

5:53

>> Yeah. Best case.

5:53

>> My My aunt has never worked out a day in

5:56

her life. She's 89 years old. She's just

5:58

a a fat old Italian lady. She eats

6:00

whatever she wants.

6:00

>> That's the move, man.

6:01

>> It might be. Dude, why am I so obsessed

6:03

with trying to get in shape and eating

6:04

right and doing all this other stuff? My

6:06

fat aunt just does whatever she wants

6:08

and she's just an old Italian lady.

6:10

She's just she's going to she's she's as

6:13

young as I've ever remembered her. She's

6:14

so with it. It's so funny to me.

6:16

>> I've vacationed in Italy a bunch of

6:18

times and I've gone to these little

6:19

small towns. There's always like a

6:21

really nice restaurant. This little

6:22

small town you have to take like a van

6:24

up into the hills.

6:25

>> Yeah. You're on like a like a cliffside

6:27

with like no guardrail. You get to these

6:30

places and you see these people having

6:32

these like three and a half hour

6:34

dinners. Everyone's relaxed. They're all

6:37

laughing. Their families around and

6:40

>> four generations, there's 170y old,

6:42

>> but no one's stressed out.

6:44

>> Yeah.

6:44

>> They're not all freaked out like

6:46

Americans are. They're also not fat.

6:49

>> Yeah.

6:50

>> The these thin people, they're And

6:52

they're eating bread. They're eating

6:54

bread and pasta and [ __ ]

6:57

>> gelato and they're not smoking

7:00

cigarettes and they live to be hundred.

7:01

>> My favorite uh place to visit Italy. I

7:04

brought my son for a father-son trip

7:05

there years ago. Then I just brought my

7:06

whole family last year. We went to uh

7:08

Venice and Rome

7:09

>> and uh yeah, dude. I I I have like a

7:12

gluten intolerance. Like if I eat a

7:14

sandwich, I'm just going to You'll see

7:15

it in my face. Like

7:17

>> all I did was eat pasta, bread, gelato

7:20

the whole time. The whole time.

7:21

>> And you were fine. I lost five pounds. I

7:24

was there for a week. I lost five

7:25

[ __ ] pounds. People are like, "Dude,

7:26

it's the walking." I was like, "It's not

7:27

the walking." I I walking does not lose

7:30

[ __ ] You don't lose weight from

7:32

walking if you're a person who actively

7:34

exercises.

7:35

>> We are being poisoned.

7:36

>> Yeah.

7:36

>> 100%. And the, you know, RFK Jr. has

7:39

been working really hard to try to stop

7:42

a lot of what is [ __ ] with us with

7:44

our diet in America. God, the resistance

7:47

is crazy.

7:49

>> Yeah. Well, listen. People decide what

7:51

side they're on and they go, "I don't

7:52

care how good it might be.

7:55

>> [ __ ] you. You're part of Trump's

7:57

cabinet."

7:57

>> It's a little of that, but what I'm

7:59

talking about is the resistance from

8:01

corporations.

8:02

>> Oh, yeah. I'm sure.

8:02

>> And the effect that they have on policy

8:05

and then the reality of economics. Like

8:08

here was a big one. Like he had to um he

8:11

had to pass. So there's this thing. Do

8:15

you know what glyphosate is?

8:16

>> No.

8:16

>> Okay. So, it's uh an herbicide that they

8:19

spray on plants and uh it's super bad

8:23

for you. It's super bad for you and it's

8:25

banned in a lot of countries, but it's

8:27

used ubiquitously in the United States

8:30

and there's some extraordinary number of

8:32

people

8:34

glyphosate

8:35

>> on the wheat. Is this what they're

8:36

spraying on the wheat?

8:36

>> Exactly. So, they spray it on the wheat

8:38

as a desiccator. So, they spray it on

8:40

the wheat after the wheat has already

8:41

been harvested to keep it from growing

8:43

mold,

8:44

>> which is crazy. They're going to spray

8:46

poison to make sure that life doesn't

8:48

grow on your wheat.

8:50

>> That's really what's going on. Like like

8:52

mold is a type of life and they want to

8:55

make sure it doesn't grow on this wheat

8:56

that they're going to sell you. So they

8:58

spray poison.

9:00

>> So RFK Jr. was trying really hard to

9:03

stop that. But Trump essentially said

9:05

that if they passed this ban on

9:09

glyphosate and they forced all these

9:10

farmers to stop moving glyphosate, it

9:12

would destroy the farm market in

9:16

America. It would destroy it. Like 90

9:19

something% of these people use

9:21

glyphosate.

9:22

>> Wow. And you're like,

9:23

>> that's cuz they have to like it's it

9:25

preserves it essentially. So they could

9:26

keep it longer and

9:27

>> for wheat and and then corn actually has

9:30

like Roundup ready corn so you could

9:32

spray it on the corn and it survives

9:34

this [ __ ]

9:35

>> Yeah.

9:36

>> So like it kills all the weeds around it

9:38

but the corn survives. We got this

9:39

nuclear corn.

9:40

>> That's bizarre.

9:41

>> And what's crazy is our whole system

9:45

depends on it. Like we've got a bad

9:47

system and the solution is keep the bad

9:51

system for now because if we don't if we

9:53

don't feed people poison then we'll go

9:55

under.

9:58

>> It's so crazy. And that's how that's

10:00

what it is in America. That's why when

10:02

you go to Italy you get that Italian

10:04

flour which is heirloom wheat. So, you

10:07

know, Maynard from Tulle, he explained

10:09

this to me because he owns restaurants

10:11

>> and he said that when you're getting

10:13

wheat from America, it's like got a

10:15

higher uh yield per acre cuz it's like

10:19

more gluten dense. It has more complex

10:22

glutens in it and your body just goes

10:25

whoa. Like this is a lot. You know that

10:27

feeling that like whoa cuz you're

10:29

essentially eating glue,

10:30

>> right? when you eat pasta that you have

10:33

it in Italy or I'm not saying it doesn't

10:35

have calories but there's a difference

10:37

in the way it feels when it goes in your

10:39

body there's not a resistance it feels

10:42

like food

10:43

>> when I become a glutton and I eat like a

10:45

whole pizza in America if it's not at a

10:48

good spot that you know uses Italian

10:49

wheat

10:50

>> I feel like I [ __ ] poison myself

10:52

>> I literally feel um I mean almost like a

10:56

a hangover a weird

10:58

>> like you feel it like in your veins

11:00

>> so I don't know if that's the complex

11:02

glutens. I don't know if that's

11:03

glyphosate. I think the glyphosate thing

11:06

is probably dangerous, but yet also

11:09

possibly overstated.

11:11

>> So, it seems like the the very low

11:13

levels of glyphosate our body can

11:15

tolerate it. But the real question is

11:16

like why are we [ __ ] tolerating it?

11:18

Like why is that there?

11:20

>> Yeah,

11:20

>> cuz there's people that think that

11:22

that's what you're reacting to when

11:23

you're eating wheat. That you're

11:24

reacting to your your body's just like

11:26

what is this? I don't like this [ __ ]

11:28

herbicide that's

11:28

>> Well, that's also happened as I got

11:29

older. I don't even know what it was.

11:31

Like I just I never really had an issue

11:33

with like pizza, pasta, wheat, anything

11:35

when I was a kid. I could eat a peanut

11:36

butter jelly sandwich to my mid20s. It

11:39

just hit me in a different way. And I

11:41

don't actually I don't know if you can

11:42

develop a gluten intolerance or a gluten

11:44

>> seems like a lot. It happens to a lot of

11:45

people as they get older. I wonder what

11:47

that is. I wonder if that's just your

11:49

body just like e [ __ ] enough, dude.

11:51

>> Your body just gives up on it. It's like

11:53

But when you were young,

11:54

>> it's running more efficiently just

11:55

naturally.

11:56

>> You're you're young. You're full of

11:57

hormones. your body, the cells are

11:59

replicating perfectly. Everything

12:02

you're a [ __ ] animal, everything's

12:04

great and I think your body could just

12:06

burn it off. Like that's why hangovers

12:08

weren't as bad when I was 20 either.

12:10

>> No. Yeah,

12:10

>> hangovers were no big deal. Just have

12:12

some water the next day and you'll be

12:13

good.

12:14

>> Yeah,

12:14

>> it was not that bad,

12:15

>> dude.

12:15

>> Hangovers. If I have a hangover at 58,

12:18

I'm like, what? What are you trying to

12:19

die early, you [ __ ] idiot?

12:21

>> That's what I was saying about Shane at

12:22

the the stadium or the the arena before.

12:24

It's like he's we get there and I wasn't

12:26

even drinking. I stopped drinking um you

12:29

know regularly here and there, but I I I

12:31

was just the best shape and the best

12:33

mental state I've ever been in my life

12:35

was when I'm completely sober.

12:36

Completely sober, eating healthy,

12:37

exercising every day. That right there

12:39

is the best. It's the best version of

12:41

everybody. It's not a unique thing to

12:42

myself, right? But Shane, I was like,

12:44

you know, he's [ __ ] changed. He was

12:45

like, "Come on, you got to have a drink.

12:46

Come on." Yeah.

12:47

>> So, I was like, I started drinking

12:48

whiskey.

12:49

>> The best version of Shane is 11 Bud

12:51

Lights.

12:53

>> After 11, he's just unstoppable. He's a

12:56

jolly drunk. That's why

12:58

>> I don't know how he does it. I don't

12:59

know if I can have done it for more than

13:01

two, three nights in a row. I I would

13:02

die.

13:03

>> You ever smoke weed with a rapper? It's

13:04

the same [ __ ] It's like people get used

13:06

to things.

13:07

>> You know, try smoking weed with Whis

13:09

Khalifa.

13:09

>> Whisk should try smoking weed with me.

13:11

>> Really?

13:11

>> Are you kidding me?

13:12

>> Are you really You calling him out?

13:13

>> I used to be Bring it on Whis Khalifa. I

13:15

used to be I mean I'm talking about an

13:17

all day every day get up in the morning

13:19

just to get going five dabs. Like I like

13:22

real deal pthead. Blunt to the head. M

13:26

>> I smoked one to the head a week ago

13:27

right before I trained and uh my my

13:30

sparring partner was like you smell like

13:31

weed. I was like I could never in a

13:32

million years but it's just I'm so used

13:34

to it that I

13:36

>> becomes a normal state. Well

13:38

>> jiu-jitsu. Everyone smokes weed before

13:39

training.

13:40

>> A lot of people smoke. It's a dirty

13:41

secret of jiu-jitsu. A lot of people

13:43

smoke weed before jiu-jitsu. What is

13:45

Whiz doing up the nose?

13:46

>> Nose dab. Yeah.

13:47

>> Oh no.

13:48

>> You don't need to do that.

13:48

>> Why would you do that? Whiz

13:50

>> that dude's jacked. You ever see what

13:51

Whiz looks like?

13:52

>> He got really into Muay Thai like like

13:54

heavily. So he brings the guy with him

13:55

everywhere he goes and hits pads. He's

13:57

[ __ ] ripped, dude. I mean, like a 10

14:00

pack. It's crazy. He looks [ __ ]

14:02

great. And his technique looks pretty

14:03

solid.

14:04

>> Just gets high, kick [ __ ] How fun is

14:05

that? What a life.

14:06

>> Well, there's a thing about when you're

14:08

high, you feel your muscles more. Like

14:10

you feel like the little fibers,

14:12

>> you know, instead of it being a blunt

14:14

thing, it's like you have access to all

14:16

the fibers.

14:17

>> Yeah. And it's also you like um

14:19

>> with jiu-jitsu specifically, you you get

14:21

into like a flow state where you close

14:23

your eyes and you're just [ __ ]

14:25

feeling things and it's like I think

14:26

that can actually help it.

14:28

>> Um

14:28

>> I think it's a performance enhancer. I

14:30

really do. I always felt like my

14:31

jiu-jitsu game was 10% better if I was

14:33

high.

14:34

>> Really?

14:34

>> Yeah. No [ __ ] Yeah. I've really

14:36

felt that.

14:37

>> I think Eddie would agree with that,

14:38

too. I think a lot of people agree with

14:40

that.

14:40

>> Yeah.

14:41

>> You know, I think

14:42

>> same thing with comedy. It's like it

14:43

it's it can it can be

14:45

>> it can be. I think if you're getting

14:46

high every day and then if you switch it

14:49

up then it's a performance enhancer.

14:51

Like being right now being completely

14:52

sober like I feel like I'm on a roller

14:54

roll. Like I feel like I'm completely

14:55

locked in in a different way.

14:57

>> Um whereas like you and then I'll stop

15:00

smoking weed for 6 months then I'll go

15:01

back to it. I'm like oh I've never been

15:03

more creative. It's just I think it's

15:04

just changing your mindset in whatever

15:06

way you can do that. Yeah.

15:07

>> That's why people are so locked in and

15:08

they're like

15:09

>> having the same opinions their entire

15:11

lives. It's like somebody called me out

15:12

on Twitter today. They were like, "Dude,

15:13

you flip-flop constantly on things." I

15:15

was like, "You mean I've grown?

15:17

>> You've been watching me for 15 years on

15:19

podcast. I'm now

15:20

>> listen flipflop. I'm Captain Flip-flop."

15:24

And then I just don't think you should

15:25

be married to your ideas. I think the

15:27

real problem is once you say something

15:30

and then you have to defend it and then

15:32

once you find out that it's wrong, you

15:35

you [ __ ] panic and then you double

15:37

down and then you try to defend it in

15:39

some weird [ __ ] circular logic way.

15:42

>> And you'll get there. You'll probably,

15:44

if you're smart enough, guys will just

15:46

figure out a way to ask backwards their

15:48

logic. But every once in a while, it's

15:50

so nice to go, "Oh, dude, I was

15:51

completely wrong about that."

15:52

>> See, you win any argument with a girl.

15:54

>> In this world, the world that you and I

15:56

are in, we have conversations publicly.

15:59

It's

15:59

>> right. And that's what's something that

16:00

a lot of people don't do.

16:01

>> So, if you have conversations publicly,

16:03

then the the whole world can essentially

16:06

go, "No, you're wrong." Yeah.

16:08

>> You know, which is very valuable. very

16:11

valuable for be being able to formulate

16:13

opinions. Most people don't [ __ ] have

16:15

that, dude. So, most people, they just

16:17

like if they're wrong about something

16:19

and they've said it publicly and shamed

16:21

people, you know, you better do this

16:22

because of that and this and they're

16:24

wrong. Once they find out they're wrong,

16:26

they [ __ ] panic and there's not much

16:28

you can do about it. Like, you're just

16:30

wrong. And the only thing you could do

16:32

if you want to keep any credibility and

16:34

say says this is what I thought and this

16:36

is why I thought it, but I don't think

16:37

that anymore. And I was wrong. Yeah,

16:40

>> I [ __ ] that up. But this new

16:42

information I want you to have, too, cuz

16:45

this is why I'm tell you why I thought

16:46

what I thought and why it changed.

16:49

>> Yeah, I mean,

16:50

>> be able to do that.

16:50

>> I think it's just a weird thing in

16:52

society. People will not. They will.

16:54

>> People want to pretend they're smarter

16:55

than they are. That's the thing, man.

16:56

Everybody wants to pretend they're

16:57

[ __ ] smarter than they are. We're all

16:59

talking monkeys.

17:00

>> Yeah, we're idiots.

17:01

>> All of us. Every [ __ ] person alive is

17:03

a talking monkey. So, the internet is

17:05

the best and the worst thing that's ever

17:07

happened cuz now all the monkeys can

17:09

scream

17:11

Everybody can get mad. Everybody can

17:13

complain. But it's also great.

17:15

>> And you used to have time to reflect.

17:16

You said so what would happen is

17:17

something would happen, right? Whatever

17:19

it is, some big event, right? And it

17:20

happens on Friday, right? Like I don't

17:22

have I I got to sit on this until

17:24

Monday. I'll talk to my my wife or some

17:26

friends at home, but it's like until I

17:27

get to work on Monday, I can't

17:29

>> spout these ideas and my opinions. And

17:31

you kind of reflect on it. You sit on

17:32

you're on the toilet taking a [ __ ]

17:33

thinking about things. We don't have

17:35

that anymore. It's just all distraction

17:37

constantly. And it's like just I I mean

17:39

the amount like I the only time I ever

17:42

like reflect is if I'm working out or

17:44

I'm sitting in the steam room got to put

17:46

the phone away. You literally can't do

17:48

anything, right?

17:49

>> Um but even you're taking a [ __ ] dude.

17:50

Back in the day, taking a [ __ ] used to

17:52

be like the best thinking time.

17:53

>> People like magazines.

17:55

>> Yeah.

17:55

>> You know, you sit there reading Life

17:57

magazine while you're taking a dump.

17:59

>> What you just said was like very

18:00

important. this what you just so what

18:03

we're talking about is people being able

18:06

to talk about things. Now imagine what

18:09

life was like cuz we both How old are

18:11

you?

18:11

>> 44.

18:12

>> Okay. So you lived it a little bit but I

18:15

really lived it where there was no

18:16

internet. And if there was no internet,

18:19

you couldn't talk to anything about

18:21

anybody about anybody about anything

18:24

because everything that came up in the

18:25

news, like you'd see it on the news, you

18:27

go, "What is going on?" You get like

18:29

this quick snippet and then you'd have

18:31

to go to a newspaper and you'd read the

18:33

newspaper and go, "What the [ __ ] are we

18:34

doing in Venezuela?"

18:35

>> And at this point, 99% of people are

18:37

already out. Even right there, that

18:39

people like, "Yeah, I'm not going to the

18:41

library. I'm not getting a newspaper."

18:42

>> Guy who goes to work and you know, how

18:44

much time do you have to talk to people

18:46

about things? You have stuff to do. You

18:48

can't be the guy that corners people

18:50

when they're getting coffee. Do you hear

18:51

what we're doing in Nicaragua? So, we're

18:53

selling cocaine in Los Angeles.

18:55

The CIA is selling cocaine in Los

18:57

Angeles to fund the Contra versus the

18:59

Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Did you know

19:01

that? You're like,

19:03

>> uh, I have work to do.

19:50

yourself.

19:51

>> What are you going to do? Start a

19:52

[ __ ] ham radio channel? What are you

19:54

going to do? There was no way to express

19:56

yourself.

19:56

>> That was that. And it was,

19:57

>> bro, if you did start a radio channel,

19:59

here's the crazy thing. They would lock

20:01

you up. Yeah.

20:02

>> Do you know that? You had to have an FCC

20:04

license.

20:05

>> What was that movie?

20:06

>> Yeah. Christian Slater.

20:07

>> Christian Slater. Pump up the volume.

20:08

>> Pop up the volume.

20:09

>> Pop up the volume. what he was doing.

20:10

>> He was podcasting from a car before

20:12

there was podcast.

20:13

>> This is 1990. They were chasing him down

20:15

and they were trying to arrest him. He

20:17

was the rebel. And wasn't he saying like

20:20

>> 17

20:20

>> some stuff like go out there and live

20:22

your life or something? Like what was he

20:23

saying? Did he have like a pump you up

20:25

speech? Everybody was listening to this.

20:27

>> It wasn't even that controversial like

20:29

you know the man, you know.

20:30

>> Yeah. What was he saying? Like he's he's

20:33

ranting. It's like low-level podcasting.

20:36

But he might be the first podcast.

20:38

>> Maybe.

20:38

>> No. I'm I'm like, "No bullshit."

20:40

>> Yeah.

20:40

>> Like that idea in that movie might have

20:44

been, you know, cuz it's always like one

20:46

idea builds on and then new inventions

20:49

and then builds on. Yeah.

20:50

>> The one idea is this sexy rebel who's

20:54

out there yelling, "Fuck the man." And

20:57

he's, you know, like a van running from

20:59

the cops because he's gonna put him in a

21:01

cage because he made his own radio

21:03

station.

21:04

>> That's wild.

21:04

>> And that's what we're doing right now.

21:06

>> Yeah. There was uh Yeah. Yeah, I mean I

21:07

I lived pre- internet, you know, and

21:09

internet sort of high school, 9th grade

21:11

or so. That's when it started popping

21:13

off.

21:14

>> Podcasts show you straight up that the

21:17

free market is much better than than

21:21

regulations by the government

21:23

>> because you're never going to get this

21:24

kind of a show if the government gets to

21:27

regulate you and they tell you you can't

21:29

swear, they can't tell you you can't be

21:31

obscene, there's certain things you

21:33

can't say. Well, now it's just now it's

21:34

just YouTube and Google that'll tell you

21:36

that.

21:36

>> But they did they but they don't do it

21:38

as much.

21:38

>> No, not nowhere near as much. But it's

21:40

the new way to sort of combat that is

21:43

demonetization. Like,

21:44

>> right. But here's the thing. The market

21:46

dictates that too because if if someone

21:48

else comes along and says we're not

21:49

going to do that. So there's a reason

21:51

why YouTube is like loosened up some of

21:53

its content restriction.

21:55

>> Yeah. Cuz Rumble came out, Kick came

21:57

out.

21:57

>> Yes. Also, they were wrong. Like a lot

22:00

of the restrictions were during CO and

22:02

they were wrong. They were they were

22:03

telling people if you bring up the lab

22:05

leak theory we'll kick you off of

22:06

YouTube.

22:07

>> Yeah. A lot of people a lot of people

22:08

got completely lost their channels like

22:10

lost their way to make money.

22:12

>> You could say the earth is flat.

22:14

>> There's [ __ ] millions. There's

22:15

billions of flat earth videos out there.

22:18

You could say Bigfoot raped my mom. You

22:20

know, you could say anything.

22:22

>> Yeah.

22:22

>> But if you said that it might have come

22:24

from a lab,

22:26

>> you would get kicked off of YouTube.

22:27

>> Yeah. It's so funny. We found out that's

22:29

exactly what happened. But the market

22:31

sort of shifted and that's how Rumble

22:33

started getting bigger. Rumble got

22:35

bigger specifically because of the fact

22:37

there was push back on YouTube because

22:39

they literally won't even let Nick

22:41

Fuentes on YouTube

22:43

>> and he's on Rumble and he's like their

22:45

number one guy.

22:46

>> He's killing it on Rumble.

22:47

>> See, that's the thing. It's like if you

22:48

hold something back, you're just going

22:50

to make another version of it that

22:53

opposes it and they're going to have

22:54

more energy to fight against you because

22:56

you've

22:57

>> you've stopped the truth.

22:59

>> Yeah. You've stopped stopped the truth

23:00

about like not like about petty things

23:03

about really important things like how a

23:05

[ __ ] disease went through the whole

23:07

world. You're literally stopping people

23:09

from examining the truth which is weird.

23:13

>> Yeah, there was

23:14

>> it's not good. That's real scary.

23:16

>> That was a scary time just like in

23:17

general to like it was it was a great

23:19

time for podcasting. Podcasting blew up

23:21

during co that was it was huge.

23:22

>> Everyone just stayed at home. Everyone

23:24

was like what are we going to do? We

23:25

have nothing else to do except sit on

23:26

the internet and listen to podcasts.

23:28

Yeah.

23:29

>> Um but yeah, it was like uh just a

23:31

weird, you know, uncertain time. Even

23:34

like physically in life, it was

23:35

uncertain and then you go on the

23:36

internet and it's like, oh, I could just

23:38

like lose everything. They could just

23:39

just take it away like that. All these

23:41

platforms. This is why I start this why

23:42

I started I'm I do all of my own things

23:45

specifically because I am terrified that

23:47

my things are going to be taken away

23:48

from me.

23:49

>> Yeah.

23:49

>> So, I have my own platforms, my own

23:51

festival.

23:51

>> Well, you were really smart about that

23:52

early on with Gas Digital. Such a good

23:54

idea, dude. Such a good idea. And it's

23:57

also like your fan base. Your fan base

23:59

is so loyal and so rabid.

24:01

>> Yeah.

24:02

>> You know, because they're sign they're

24:03

like invested financially.

24:05

>> Oh yeah.

24:05

>> And it's there. It's a better

24:07

relationship honestly in a lot of ways.

24:09

>> Well, what's funny is when we started

24:10

it, it wasn't

24:11

>> it wasn't even completely necessary.

24:13

What's funny is Patreon hadn't even

24:14

didn't it existed, but it was like, you

24:17

know, guitar players asking for tips.

24:18

There was nobody podcasting on Patreon.

24:20

We started the platform uncensored ad

24:22

free for, you know, behind a payw wall.

24:23

We were unique. There was really no

24:25

Anthony Kumia did it. There was a couple

24:26

people that were doing their thing

24:28

>> and Anthony did it specifically because

24:29

he was fired from XM.

24:31

>> Yeah. And he had to.

24:31

>> He had to.

24:32

>> Um but we did and it wasn't even like it

24:35

wasn't crazy back then. Um but the way

24:38

everything became censored and you know

24:40

there's all these ads on YouTube.

24:42

There's so much. It's feels so like um

24:44

it feels commercial. It feels like

24:46

you're watching

24:47

>> TV in the late 90s when you're watching

24:49

YouTube now. Now more than ever there's

24:50

a need for an uncensored adree platform

24:53

and there's not many of them.

24:54

>> No 100%. And and I think you did the

24:56

smartest thing by doing that. And so

24:58

here's the argument. The argument is

24:59

like

25:01

that if it's everywhere, like if it's on

25:03

YouTube and it's on Spotify, it's on

25:05

everywhere, then there's more potential

25:07

for growth because it's easier to

25:08

access. That is true. And it's also it's

25:11

way easier to promote because people can

25:13

just send each other like it's natural.

25:16

>> The algorithms will push it, which is

25:18

>> Yeah, there's that, but there's also

25:19

sharing. Like if I have if someone has

25:22

got a good podcast, I'll share it with

25:23

my friends. you got to listen.

25:26

So that you can't do that if it's a paid

25:29

platform. So like you'd have to get

25:31

someone to sign up.

25:32

>> What's funny is we we were so early on a

25:34

lot of these things. I I give myself a

25:35

lot of credit here because we like

25:37

before you could screen record on your

25:39

phone.

25:40

>> We had in our app, we had a tool where

25:42

you can clip clips to share them to

25:44

social media. So you could do it was

25:45

like limited to like two or three clips

25:47

per episode.

25:48

>> Oh, that's great. And is it um

25:50

>> It never worked really. But

25:51

>> was there a time limit on the clips?

25:52

>> Like a minute or two? Oh, that's a

25:54

problem. That's a problem. Yeah,

25:56

>> because like you want like at least

25:58

eight.

25:59

>> Yeah.

25:59

>> You know, because like especially if

26:01

there's a funny back and forth between

26:02

you guys, like if you're doing Legions

26:04

of Skanks and you guys are going off

26:05

about something. Yeah.

26:06

>> You need a little more than a couple of

26:08

minutes. Got to sink your teeth into it.

26:09

>> Yeah. Otherwise, that's the best way to

26:12

take things out of context, too.

26:14

>> You're telling me,

26:14

>> boy, people love doing that.

26:16

>> Yeah.

26:16

>> They love doing that. But it's also it's

26:18

like, what are you going to ask

26:19

everybody to listen to 3 hours of a

26:21

podcast?

26:22

>> It's crazy. You got to expect that

26:24

things are going to get taken out of

26:25

context. It's part of the game, you

26:28

know. It's part of the thing we do.

26:29

>> Yeah. I um And no, nobody really wants a

26:32

context. Even when they find out the

26:33

context, they they've been like, "Well,

26:35

I already we were saying before, I've

26:36

moved on from that opinion.

26:39

>> Tomorrow it's another another day."

26:41

>> You know, nobody really cares about

26:43

anything to be honest with you. It's

26:44

like the way that the internet has

26:46

turned people into like just like

26:48

whatever's in front of them, that's what

26:49

they care about. I mean, the the amount

26:51

of things that were such a big deal a

26:53

month ago. I mean, ICE was such a huge

26:56

deal two months ago.

26:57

>> We haven't heard anything about ICE

26:59

since then. They, you know, it was the

27:01

Ukraine. What happened to Ukraine? That

27:02

war is still going on. I believe nobody

27:04

gives a [ __ ]

27:05

>> Still going on. It's just it's not sexy

27:07

right now. You know, it's like Law and

27:09

Order, Special Victims Unit, you know,

27:11

season 50.

27:12

>> Yeah.

27:12

>> It's like, okay.

27:15

>> You know what I mean?

27:16

>> We've seen every angle on rape already.

27:19

It's like it's still going to be a big

27:21

show, you know? It's still important.

27:22

It's top 10, but it's, you know what I'm

27:24

saying? Like it's not the number one

27:26

thing that we're concerned with. Where

27:27

whereas when it popped off, when Russia

27:29

invaded, it was like the end of the

27:30

world.

27:30

>> Yeah.

27:31

>> And then there was people I literally

27:33

heard people saying that Ukraine should

27:35

have never given up its nukes. And I was

27:38

like, okay, I could see what you're

27:40

saying. I could see what you're saying.

27:42

Like if they had nukes, Russia probably

27:44

wouldn't invade him. But

27:47

but ultimately that means we're

27:48

threatening you with nukes.

27:50

>> That's the scariest thing ever.

27:51

>> That's [ __ ] crazy. The whole thing's

27:52

crazy. But it's also it's like why did

27:54

this happen? Did

27:56

>> you know pushing arms closer and closer

27:58

to Russia have no impact on this?

28:00

>> Nobody can hit Texas or New York though,

28:03

right? Like Hawaii's [ __ ]

28:05

>> Oh, they could hit New York. What do you

28:06

mean?

28:06

>> They could hit New York.

28:07

>> Oh, yeah. They could hit New York.

28:08

>> You think so? With a nuke?

28:10

>> Yeah, 100%.

28:11

>> I read something a while ago that they

28:12

could only reach Hawaii or I guess it

28:13

wasn't it wasn't anyone. It was um

28:16

who was it? Was it Russia or China or

28:19

something? One of them. They could only

28:20

hit Hawaii. I had a bit about it in my

28:22

act and I was like we had a guy on that

28:25

was talking about back engineering UFO

28:28

technology and that they had this idea

28:33

of using it to what they would call an

28:37

instantaneous

28:38

delivery system of a nuclear bomb.

28:41

because the way these things supposedly

28:44

can travel. Now, I'm a [ __ ] so I don't

28:47

understand anything about gravity, but

28:49

what they were explaining is that if

28:51

these crafts work in a way that has no

28:54

normal kind of propulsion, we think of

28:57

propulsion as like a jet. The fire goes

29:00

out the back and the jet goes forward

29:02

really fast because of that, right? What

29:04

they're saying is these beings from

29:08

wherever the [ __ ] they are with when

29:09

these people that have back engineered

29:11

their crafts, the way they move is not

29:14

by propulsion. It's by bending space and

29:17

time. It's by doing something to the

29:20

gravity around it or the the the actual

29:23

space of the universe around it where it

29:26

can go to another place like

29:28

instantaneously.

29:29

>> So, it's not like it flies. It's like it

29:32

just [ __ ] zips over to another part

29:35

of the universe and they can do it like

29:37

that tic tac one that they they got on

29:40

radar. They got it on the visuals like

29:43

two different fighter pilots saw it and

29:45

talked about it. They have video of it.

29:47

This [ __ ] thing went from more than

29:49

50,000 ft above sea level to sea level

29:52

in 1 second. Less than a second. So it's

29:55

like beep beep beep radar. It went from

29:57

50,000 ft to that. So if you could do

29:59

that with a bomb, you could essentially

30:02

instantaneously detonate Moscow.

30:04

>> Wow.

30:05

>> If that's a real technology. So this is

30:07

probably why these [ __ ] are hiding

30:09

all this UFO information. Yeah.

30:11

>> It's cuz these [ __ ] had probably

30:14

were using the they were like, "Yeah, we

30:15

could travel anywhere in the universe or

30:18

>> we could blow up China without them even

30:20

knowing it's happening. We could assure

30:22

that we'll win a nuclear war." Yeah.

30:23

Anybody would have that technology, the

30:25

ability to put something somewhere

30:27

instantly and you put a bomb in it.

30:30

That's crazy.

30:31

>> Yeah. I

30:32

>> That might be what all this UFO [ __ ]

30:34

is about.

30:35

>> Yeah. I mean the who knows who knows

30:37

what's going I mean like like obviously

30:39

there's something going on, right?

30:41

Obvious like it's I I think there's

30:42

smoke there's fire. There's too much.

30:44

>> You've seen these stories about all

30:45

these scientists that are getting

30:46

whacked.

30:47

>> No.

30:48

>> Yeah. There scientists that have gotten

30:50

whacked in or missing and a and a couple

30:52

of generals as well that's all connected

30:55

somehow or another to UFO technology and

30:58

anti-gravity technology and nuclear

31:00

scientists and there's a bunch of

31:04

stories that I've read about this and

31:06

some of them are like this is like

31:07

purely exaggerated and a lot of people

31:10

are it's just they're taking that this

31:12

guy committed suicide and he worked on

31:13

that and this guy went missing and he

31:15

worked on that but it's just

31:16

coincidence,

31:17

>> right? And then there's other people

31:18

that go, "No, no, no, no. This is

31:20

there's too many people." So now the

31:22

White House has commented on it. So

31:24

they're doing an investigation on this,

31:26

>> which makes me think hopefully somebody

31:30

who's really [ __ ] smart has looked at

31:32

this information and said, "There's

31:34

something there." Like what these people

31:36

were working on was very extraordinary

31:38

and could disrupt a market or could be

31:42

something that could be used in a weapon

31:44

that would destroy another country and

31:45

so the other country sabotages it by

31:47

killing scientists. That's [ __ ] that we

31:50

would do.

31:50

>> Think how little we know. Like the

31:53

amount of like

31:54

>> Yeah.

31:54

>> like you and I just human just like

31:57

Americans just just the general

31:58

population like the amount of there's

32:00

probably the craziest technology ever

32:02

that the government has their hands on

32:03

right now. It's like we use AI tools and

32:05

it's like I can imagine the AI that the

32:08

government currently has, right? And

32:10

that's why that'll never disappear. It's

32:12

because all of the governments are just

32:14

sort of at a race to see who can

32:16

implement the strongest AI. So I I can't

32:18

even imagine how crazy it is.

32:21

There was one lady that was uh that went

32:23

missing and there's a weird video of her

32:25

because it seems like she's drunk and

32:28

she's like talking about like how you

32:30

know this technology that it's real but

32:33

every time they that anybody gets close

32:35

to it, people stop it. And this lady has

32:38

gone missing as well. So it seems like

32:39

she might have had a couple of drinks or

32:41

something and then started ranting about

32:43

this in some weird video call.

32:45

>> Yeah. But listen, if I had that

32:47

information and I thought that people

32:49

were trying to kill me because I knew

32:50

about anti-gravity technology and I

32:52

literally thought like I'm in a Russell

32:54

Crow movie and someone's trying to

32:55

[ __ ] whack me, I'd probably get drunk

32:57

too.

32:58

>> Yeah.

32:58

>> Like what are you going to do?

32:59

>> But she she went missing though.

33:01

>> I was talking to two

33:04

uh nuclear scientists after my show.

33:06

Just these two like it was a couple.

33:07

They were like straight up nuclear

33:08

scientists. It was Tacoma or Spokane

33:11

whatever this near that like there's a

33:12

huge like it's like a nuclear town. like

33:15

everyone works in like nuclear science

33:16

in this entire town.

33:18

>> Jesus.

33:18

>> And uh he was like they were like so

33:21

into telling me about like not not too

33:24

much, not too indepth, but he was like,

33:26

you know, I work like 100 ft below the

33:27

ground. It was like super top secret.

33:30

And um he was like I started asking

33:33

questions. He was like, "No, I can't

33:34

answer that." He was like, "They've

33:34

definitely tapped our phones. Are you

33:35

out of your mind? Do you think they're

33:37

like not just listening to what we're

33:38

saying to people?" And I was just like,

33:40

"Fucking godamn dude. I think they're

33:42

listening to everything everybody's

33:43

saying all the time. It's all getting

33:46

stored.

33:47

>> Yeah. I think it just gets stored. I

33:48

don't think it's like someone's

33:49

listening where they can just

33:52

>> know every like they have a person with

33:54

a [ __ ] earphone on listening to

33:56

everything you say. Oh, write it down.

33:57

He said this.

33:58

>> I think probably high government

34:00

officials. They probably do

34:01

>> probably. But now with AI, all they

34:03

would have to do is record everybody's

34:05

phone all the time and then use AI to

34:09

search all the transcripts and then find

34:11

an audio recording of you saying this or

34:13

you saying that.

34:14

>> We're probably three years away from

34:15

them being able to get everything we've

34:17

ever done on the internet.

34:18

>> Yeah. But but not just that, there's

34:20

also AI which could take that and then

34:23

have you make phone calls to people that

34:26

you don't really make.

34:27

>> Yeah. So you could call up one of your

34:29

friends and ask them to meet you

34:31

somewhere with a bag of heroin and they

34:33

would all, you know, they would know. It

34:34

would like literally you could use it to

34:36

set people up. You could use it to get

34:39

people upset about something. You could

34:41

have the AI have a [ __ ] conversation

34:43

with them.

34:43

>> I mean, I've been listening AI Joe Rogan

34:46

ads on the internet for about a year now

34:48

where they just take your voice and they

34:49

advertise products because you have such

34:50

a recognizable voice.

34:51

>> That's pretty ridiculous, right? A lot

34:53

of people go, "Do you use that?" I go,

34:54

"No, it's AI." But the thing is it's

34:57

like they can have it talk to you now.

35:00

So it sounds like you.

35:02

>> Yeah.

35:03

>> You could have a conversation with you.

35:04

Like you could AI Lewis J. Gomez. You

35:09

could talk to Louisis J. Gomez and it

35:10

would be like you talking to yourself.

35:12

You'd probably lose your mind if you

35:13

were skeptical.

35:14

>> I did something really dark and sad one

35:16

day. I was super high. And my mom died

35:18

when I was 22 years old. And then I I

35:20

went I prompted chat GPT. I told I told

35:23

a bunch of information about my mom and

35:24

I was like I want to have a conversation

35:25

with my mom on the other side about like

35:28

what's going on in my life and my son

35:30

and asked me questions and I was like it

35:32

was it got very like I got really

35:34

emotional way more than you would think.

35:36

Like I was it was kind of just a dumb

35:38

thing. I was stunned. I was like let's

35:39

see where this goes. I was I felt like I

35:41

was talking to my mom at the end of it.

35:43

>> It was [ __ ] really

35:44

>> That's so crazy.

35:46

>> Yeah. Really?

35:46

>> Here's the thing. If it gets to be a

35:48

super intelligence, they program a super

35:50

intelligence to behave exactly and talk

35:53

exactly like your mom

35:56

and then you had conversations with her

35:58

like it knows her voice.

35:59

>> Yeah, that would be such a [ __ ] If

36:03

you're schizophrenic and that starts

36:04

happening, that would be the trip. That

36:06

would be that would be the that would be

36:07

bing, we blew the last fuse.

36:09

>> Yeah, that's it, dude.

36:10

>> That would be it.

36:11

>> Well, for us that's what they're doing

36:13

>> for for you and me, right? who we have I

36:16

mean thousands and thousands of hours

36:17

recorded, right?

36:19

>> Oh yeah, they could have us say

36:20

anything.

36:20

>> Well, not only just say anything like

36:22

when I die, I'm assuming the technology,

36:24

forget when I die, like forget 40 years

36:26

from now. Like in the next few years,

36:29

they can just take every opinion I've

36:31

had, the way I speak, my thoughts,

36:33

everything. And then they can use AI to

36:35

not only just replicate what I do, but

36:37

go like, well, what would he likely

36:38

think, what would he likely say? if you

36:40

sort of put all that data in and then

36:42

eventually it's like a little [ __ ]

36:44

box sitting on the table that my son

36:45

talks to. His dad never dies. His dad's

36:47

always there. I think that will be a

36:49

thing that regularly is happening. You

36:51

you

36:52

>> and I don't know if it's like uploading

36:53

the consciousness or if it's the AI

36:55

replicating your consciousness. I think

36:56

they've talked about that for a long

36:57

time, but that I think will happen

36:59

unquestionably.

37:01

>> No doubt.

37:02

>> Yeah.

37:02

>> And soon.

37:03

>> Very soon.

37:04

>> Well, the AI that they have now, like if

37:06

you put on those meta glasses, have you

37:07

[ __ ] with that? the VR goggles.

37:09

>> Uh, yeah,

37:10

>> they're pretty [ __ ]

37:11

>> I mean, I just jerk off. That's it. I

37:14

just

37:14

>> giant vaginas.

37:15

>> Well, not No, it's not even a It's um

37:17

>> If you have porn with VR, it must be

37:19

insane.

37:20

>> Oh, it's insane. It is insane.

37:21

>> Yeah,

37:21

>> I can't watch regular porn anymore.

37:23

>> That way. Made me nervous. Creepy.

37:26

>> I was looking this up just to see if it

37:28

was still a thing. This is a William

37:30

Shatner AI. He's sitting here waiting

37:32

for us to ask him a question

37:33

>> and he'll just answer it in his voice.

37:35

>> It's him. He sat there and recorded a

37:37

bunch of stuff a couple years ago for

37:38

this.

37:39

>> Um, I don't know how well it works, but

37:41

>> Well, ask him this.

37:44

>> This is a little different though. This

37:45

isn't So,

37:46

>> I mean, this is just the beginning,

37:47

though. Like, this is

37:48

>> this is the beginning of it. So, once

37:49

they But they once they turn they really

37:51

turn the AI on this, it'll be like it'll

37:53

be a better William Shatner.

37:55

>> I mean, it looks uh what? Let's ask him

37:57

one random question.

37:59

H

38:02

um what didn't he have like a make out

38:05

session with a green lady on in Star

38:08

Trek?

38:08

>> I don't know. What was it?

38:10

>> I think he did. I think there was like

38:11

some weird

38:13

>> racial push back. There was some weird

38:16

pu Oh, he kissed Ohura. There was He did

38:19

make out with an alien. No, no, no.

38:22

>> He did make out with an alien, right?

38:23

I'm pretty sure he kissed like a a green

38:25

lady or something, but he also kissed

38:27

Lieutenant O'Hora, who was a black lady.

38:31

And during the time where they did Star

38:34

Trek, I think this was very

38:36

controversial. That's it. So that was in

38:40

1968

38:42

and this was very controversial that a

38:44

white man and a black and by the way,

38:46

she was beautiful. That lady that played

38:48

Aurora, she's beautiful. And they

38:50

thought it was weird. They thought it

38:52

was offensive. I mean, it was like it

38:54

was a big thing.

38:55

>> Yeah.

38:56

>> In like the public. I was too young.

38:58

Obviously, I was one years old. But I do

39:01

remember this story.

39:03

>> Remember there was that movie uh Jungle

39:05

Fever? It was an entire movie. The

39:06

entire premise of the movie was it's

39:08

>> a black guy and a white girl.

39:09

39:41

person on US television was ever

39:43

scripted. as an earlier kiss on Moving

40:03

>> I bet she did it just to piss off Frank.

40:08

>> Let me check.

40:09

>> Yeah, find out what she did. What the

40:10

[ __ ] happened?

40:13

>> Like a variety show.

40:15

>> So, was it like her and just a singer or

40:17

something? Was it a show where they

40:18

would sing each other? What happened

40:20

40:20

>> Sammy Davis Jr.

40:21

>> Oh, Sammy Davis Jr. kissed her. Oh,

40:23

40:24

>> song and dance.

40:24

40:30

kiss between

40:31

>> between Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.?

>> Oh, boy. He kissed he passionately

40:37

kissed his friend's daughter.

40:38

>> Oh, yeah. Bro, those people were freaks

40:41

back then.

40:41

>> That's hot.

40:42

>> They were freaks.

40:43

>> This is it.

40:44

>> That brat pack. That rat pack. Those

40:46

guys were animals. Look at that. Oh,

40:48

that's on the cheek, bro. He kissed her

40:51

on the cheek. Zoom in on that. That's

40:53

outrageous. That's a nice friendly kiss.

40:56

That's not a passionately kissed. Let me

40:59

see that. Close in on her. Yeah, he

41:01

kissed her on the cheek. Don't you

41:03

think?

41:04

>> It looks like the cheek.

41:04

>> It looks like right here.

41:05

>> Yeah. A little side side of the

41:07

>> a little That's like a sweet thing.

41:09

>> Yeah. Italian men do that to each other.

41:10

>> Yeah, that's not a that's not a kiss on

41:12

the lips.

41:12

>> Yeah,

41:13

>> that doesn't count. I say Star Trek's

41:15

the first cuz that was like let's get

41:16

down.

41:21

>> It's so nuts, dude. Yeah. I mean, my uh

41:23

my mom my mom was white and my dad was

41:26

like Afro Latino, like darkkinned like

41:29

uh he looked black, like straight he

41:30

looked like Easy E. I was just going to

41:32

show you a picture of my dad. It's

41:33

crazy. He looks straight up like Easy E.

41:36

>> Um and it's like Yeah. I mean that even

41:39

in the ' 80s growing up that was kind of

41:40

like it was weird. I remember the first

41:42

time I saw an interracial couple in high

41:43

school. I'm 44. I'm not I'm not that

41:45

old. But like it was weird. I remember

41:49

just seeing like in like the 10th grade

41:50

this like hot white chick started dating

41:52

this like football player black kid. It

41:54

wasn't that regular where I grew and I

41:55

grew up an hour outside of New York

41:56

City.

41:57

>> Yeah. And it it was controversial. It

41:59

would open you up to all sorts of like

42:01

you get yelled at by people, you get

42:04

attacked. There's a lot of people that

42:06

they dealt with a lot of [ __ ] back then,

42:08

man.

42:09

>> Yeah. Well, racism is back. Don't worry.

42:12

>> It kind of never went away. But it's it

42:15

comes in waves of encouragement where

42:17

people people think like it's okay. It's

42:20

okay to be racist. It's okay to be this,

42:22

to be that.

42:23

>> It was a weird It was a weird thing

42:24

where it's like a lot of us were just

42:26

being ironic and funny for a while. You

42:28

make racial jokes, you make jokes about

42:30

anything like that. I I think you could

42:31

be make a joke about anything. It's a

42:32

comedian's job. Um, and then it like

42:35

shifted once like social media became so

42:39

like big and everyone's opinion. You can

42:40

anonymously just say whatever you want.

42:42

Dude, if you wanted to you want to say

42:43

something racist anonymously, you had to

42:45

write it on a bathroom wall.

42:47

>> You have to be like, I hate nwords on

42:50

the wall in a marker.

42:51

>> And then somebody else responds to it

42:53

underneath it and they're like, well, I

42:54

hate you cracker. And then it goes it.

42:56

>> That was always fun. Like bathroom walls

42:58

were fun. Get a phone number. Call this

43:01

number. You give your ex-girlfriend's

43:02

phone number on the wall.

43:03

>> Yeah, of course.

43:04

>> Yeah. Those those are the days.

43:06

>> The original doxing.

43:07

>> Well, also those like the the that's the

43:10

original message board.

43:12

>> Yeah. It's the original YouTube

43:14

comments,

43:14

>> right? That's the original comments on

43:16

an ex post is the bathroom wall.

43:18

>> That's it. And that's the only thing

43:19

that's as far as it can go was maybe 12

43:22

people a day would see your [ __ ]

43:24

anonymously. But it felt so good just n

43:26

I

43:27

>> I can't remember any interracial uh in

43:30

high school.

43:31

>> I can't remember any of them. Oh no,

43:33

one. I do remember one. But I do

43:35

remember there's a lot of push back,

43:37

man. Like a lot of people were like

43:38

openly racist about it.

43:40

>> Yeah,

43:41

>> it's uh eventually has to go away, but

43:45

it's like it's going away in waves. Like

43:48

it used to be normal. Like everybody was

43:51

racist. The whole world was racist. I

43:54

think everyone is bigoted.

43:55

>> It's a little different than a little

43:56

different than racist, right?

43:57

>> Well, everyone was tribal, right? Like

44:00

you could only trust the 150 people that

44:02

you lived with. You could barely trust

44:05

them. You could barely trust them. They

44:07

were probably trying to be the tribal

44:08

chief and [ __ ] people over and [ __ ] the

44:10

chief's wife. That shit's always gone

44:12

on. But for sure, if there was a group

44:15

that you didn't know and they showed up,

44:17

they were there to kill you.

44:20

>> Yes.

44:20

>> 100%. Yes. A bunch of guys show up,

44:22

there's 15 guys. They show up, but

44:23

you're they're trying to kill you.

44:25

>> Well, also pre- internet, you you had to

44:27

coexist, right? You had to the only

44:29

people you can communicate with. You go

44:31

to the grocery store, it's an Indian guy

44:32

or a black guy or a Puerto Rican guy.

44:34

It's like, "No, I got to buy a tomato.

44:35

So, I'm we're just going to do what we

44:37

need. I'm going to give you my dollar.

44:38

You're going to give me a tomato and I'm

44:39

going to say,

44:40

>> but this is an America in a city in the

44:43

20th century and then the 21st century."

44:45

What I'm saying is we're hardwired for

44:48

the olden days. Right.

44:49

>> This is why it's so easy to get people

44:51

to join a team, whether it be a Democrat

44:53

or be a Republican or MAGA or whatever

44:56

the [ __ ] it is. It's so easy because

44:58

people are programmed to be in tribes,

45:01

>> right? Yeah. And they want an identity.

45:03

>> Yeah. It's it's easier.

45:04

>> There's an enemy. They want an enemy,

45:06

too.

45:06

>> Yep. You have a You feel like you're on

45:08

a side. You feel You don't really have

45:10

to do much thinking.

45:11

>> Exactly.

45:12

>> Like whatever Whatever they say, I agree

45:13

with

45:14

>> gives you comfort that you you're

45:15

surrounded by other people. I used to

45:17

think that when I was young when I would

45:18

watch like religious preachers on

45:20

television, I was watching those like

45:23

these Islamic guys and they were talking

45:25

about Islam and the way the certainty in

45:29

the fact that what they were saying was

45:31

true. Like the way they were saying like

45:33

all these other religions mean nothing

45:35

because Islam is the truth. And they

45:36

were like, "Yep."

45:37

>> They're like they believed it. Like I'm

45:39

like it must feel great

45:41

>> to believe something 100% like that. You

45:44

have a bunch of other people around you

45:46

that also believe it.

45:47

>> 100% know ifs or buts. And we've all The

45:52

reality is no one knows about anything

45:56

until you experience it.

45:57

>> Yeah.

45:58

>> So, you don't really know what's going

46:00

to happen in heaven. If heaven's real,

46:02

you don't know any of that. No.

46:03

>> But you're so convinced.

46:06

>> And my question is by what?

46:09

>> I wish I had any sort of spiritual

46:12

faith.

46:13

>> That's what I keep saying. come up with

46:14

a good cult. I'll join it.

46:15

>> Doggy, I I just can't I what since I was

46:18

a little kid, I remember just being a

46:20

little kid and think having the thought

46:22

God's not real and then trying cuz I was

46:24

raised Catholic just suppressing it

46:26

being like I can't think that I'm going

46:27

to burn in hell if I even think the idea

46:28

that God isn't real. It's like a what a

46:30

weird psychotic thing to do to like a

46:32

5-year-old kid. Yeah. you know, and um

46:36

yeah, it's like uh yeah, you you sort of

46:39

like that the idea of faith, it it

46:41

actually seems like really like kind of

46:42

freeing. Like the idea of like, dude,

46:44

I'm going to die and I'm going to go to

46:45

the kingdom of heaven and I'm going to

46:46

experience everything that I've ever

46:48

wanted. I mean, that sounds incredible.

46:50

I it's for me it's like I feel like I'm

46:52

counting down until I'm going to sleep

46:53

forever. Like I have nothing after I

46:56

really don't believe in any of that.

46:57

when people get into like these heated

46:59

passionate like debates about certain

47:00

things like abortion is a great topic um

47:02

for this concept when you're trying to

47:05

convince somebody that's religious like

47:07

to be pro-life you're like you don't

47:08

understand what's going on there dude

47:10

they believe you're murdering a baby

47:13

you're not going to convince somebody

47:15

that like oh well let me let me let me

47:16

try to break this down for you right now

47:18

let me try to give you a different angle

47:19

on this no they they believe that that's

47:20

a life at conception they believe it's a

47:22

soul they really [ __ ] believe that

47:24

deep down

47:25

>> and that is like like I kind of go like

47:27

I respect that. Like I'm not going to

47:28

like I I'm pro-life, right? I I was

47:30

raised by by women and I just kind of

47:32

grew up in New York. We always sort of

47:34

had that sensibility.

47:34

>> Do you mean pro-choice? Is that what you

47:36

>> I'm sorry. I'm pro-choice. I apologize.

47:38

Um but when I my son was born or even

47:40

when I first saw the heartbeat, I

47:42

remember I was like that's a life right

47:43

there. The heartbeat that 6 weeks

47:45

whatever it was, I was like that's a

47:46

[ __ ] life right there. But when

47:48

you're dealing with religious people who

47:49

believe that that's a soul and that that

47:51

it's like the second it's conceived,

47:52

>> you're trying to convince them that it's

47:54

okay to kill a baby

47:56

>> and it's never going to happen.

47:58

>> Yeah. No, it's never going to happen.

48:00

And I don't know who's right. That's the

48:03

real problem. Like for convenience sake

48:06

and for living your life on your own

48:08

terms sake. And the see my take on it is

48:11

first of all

48:14

I'm not a woman and if you're talking

48:17

about this and there's no chance of you

48:18

ever getting pregnant that's a weird

48:21

thing because you like conceptually yeah

48:25

that's a life no doubt I mean not even

48:27

conceptually objectively that's a life

48:29

it's going to become a human

48:31

>> but who who like who am I to say

48:35

especially in cases of like incest and

48:37

rape and you know Crazy [ __ ] Who am I

48:40

to say that you have to raise that kid?

48:42

That you have to that that life has to

48:44

you have to change your body for the

48:46

next 9 months. Maybe ir irrevocably. I

48:50

mean, maybe it'll just change your body

48:51

forever. Maybe you'll have stretch marks

48:52

forever.

48:53

>> Oh, yeah.

48:54

>> Because of this, because of this

48:56

horrible thing that happened to you.

48:57

Because everybody says that this life is

48:59

precious. Like

48:59

>> every time you got to feed at breakfast,

49:01

you got to [ __ ]

49:01

>> If that was for men, if men got

49:03

pregnant,

49:05

abortion would be at gas stations. fill

49:07

it up and take it out. It would be

49:09

There's not a [ __ ] chance in hell it

49:11

would be.

49:12

>> That's a bit

49:13

>> There's not a chance in hell that it

49:14

would be a debate.

49:16

>> Yeah.

49:16

>> It wouldn't be a debate. If men make the

49:19

laws and men could get pregnant, men

49:21

would have abortions everywhere.

49:23

>> Yeah.

49:23

>> There's no [ __ ] chance you'd be able

49:24

to tell another man that he's going to

49:26

have to keep a baby.

49:27

>> No. Yeah. It's it's it's very complex.

49:30

And I understand both sides of it, you

49:32

know? I really do. I when people say

49:34

that's a life you can't it's like I'm

49:36

like I really get that and when people

49:37

go like it's a woman's body and sort of

49:38

right to choose if she wants to eject

49:40

this from her body before a certain

49:43

time.

49:44

>> Um

49:44

>> it's the weird thing is like at what

49:46

point in time like could you stop it

49:47

when it's a clump of cells? Can you stop

49:49

it when it's almost a fetus? You know

49:51

what I mean? Like it gets it's it's such

49:53

a human problem in that there's no

49:57

it's it's a weird [ __ ] sloppy

50:00

>> I think when it grow when it grows a

50:02

nose. Yeah. Before it hits before it

50:04

grows a nose or or fingers.

50:05

>> It could be a kid. It's going to be a

50:07

kid that maybe wins an Olympic gold

50:08

medal.

50:09

>> If it's got web fingers still,

50:10

>> it could be a kid that is Sabrina

50:12

Carpenter and is on stage in front of

50:14

all those people. You know what I mean?

50:15

That's the weird thing about life.

50:16

>> It could be somebody that changes the

50:17

world.

50:18

>> It could be.

50:18

>> Literally. Yeah. Yeah. If you look at

50:20

like child development like um

50:21

monthtomonth, I mean, when my when I my

50:23

son was being born, I was like

50:24

obsessively like looking at it. It

50:26

starts looking like a baby way earlier

50:28

than you think. And the problem is you

50:30

can still abort it when it looks like a

50:32

[ __ ] baby. And that's it's just a

50:34

>> Oh, you could abort it when it is a

50:35

baby. Oh, yeah. In certain cases.

50:37

>> Well, yeah. If it's like medically

50:38

>> I knew a guy his girlfriend had a late

50:40

term abortion and it was horrible.

50:44

>> Jesus.

50:44

>> Horrible to know that like she was

50:47

showing it was

50:49

>> Well, there was that one.

50:49

>> This is in the '9s. There was a one

50:51

video that went viral a while ago and it

50:53

was like they were talking to somebody

50:54

in an abortion clinic with like a hidden

50:56

cell phone camera and they were like,

50:58

"Well, what happens if you abort the

51:00

fetus? You remove the fetus and it's

51:01

still alive like on the table."

51:03

>> Yeah.

51:04

>> Um they and they were like, "Well, we

51:06

would have to at least extinguish life

51:08

or something like that." It was like

51:09

pretty [ __ ] crazy.

51:11

>> Yeah.

51:11

>> It's like so when the baby's out, you're

51:13

going to kill the that you're just going

51:14

to kill. It's call it what it is. You're

51:15

going to kill a baby. It's bonkers.

51:18

And that's why like you could understand

51:20

why Christians would think that's

51:22

demonic.

51:23

>> Yeah.

51:24

>> Anyone anyone would think that's

51:25

demonic.

51:26

>> You could totally understand that. And

51:28

to ignore that and throw it into this.

51:30

No, but I you know I believe in the

51:32

woman's right to choose.

51:34

>> Okay. Me too. But what's that?

51:36

>> Yeah.

51:36

>> Like what are we saying here? Like

51:38

you're going to just kill the baby when

51:40

it's alive outside the womb. Is it

51:42

viable? Like could it be grow up and

51:44

become one of your friends?

51:46

Like what are we doing?

51:48

>> Maybe.

51:48

>> You know what I'm saying? Could it could

51:50

that baby grow up

51:52

>> and just live?

51:53

>> Yeah. And just have a wonderful life and

51:55

have a great job. It's [ __ ] weird,

51:58

man. Because like what is life and why?

52:02

It's very precious to us because if we

52:03

don't have it, then we don't have a say

52:05

in what's going on. But we're really

52:07

just a [ __ ] bunch of atoms and

52:09

particles and molecules and everything

52:12

spinning around at a different

52:13

frequency. That's what we really are.

52:15

Your mushrooms are kicking in, Joe.

52:16

>> They're not even just I'm just saying

52:18

like we're so obsessed with life.

52:21

>> Yeah.

52:21

>> And that's why this is such a

52:23

fascinating conversation. It's also a

52:25

fascinating conversation cuz men can't

52:27

get pregnant.

52:28

>> It's a weird

52:29

>> Well, I think they can, right? They can

52:30

carry the baby. We can't get pregnant,

52:32

but I think you could.

52:32

>> Well, they're talking to transmitter

52:34

talking about getting uteruses implanted

52:36

in their body and then getting pregnant

52:37

and having an abortion. I want to be the

52:39

first person to do that,

52:41

>> which just shows you how is really

52:43

healthy. That's pretty hilarious.

52:45

>> Got it.

52:46

>> It would be a good bit. It' be something

52:48

Steo would do.

52:50

>> It really would be. I'm gonna put a baby

52:53

in a board it. How [ __ ] great is

52:55

that? That's funny.

52:55

>> Yeah. He would do it if there wouldn't

52:57

be any social push back.

52:58

>> Yeah. Yeah.

52:59

>> That That one's, you know, tough.

53:00

>> A little bit of a tough one.

53:01

>> He almost got tit implants.

53:03

>> I know. He told me that.

53:04

>> That's crazy.

53:05

>> It's nuts.

53:05

>> Don't do that.

53:06

>> Yeah.

53:07

>> Ouch. You going to get your chest carved

53:09

open.

53:09

>> You get a dick tattooed in his face.

53:11

>> Yes. He's insane.

53:11

>> Right over his eyebrow.

53:12

>> He's a lunatic. It took me like a few

53:14

seconds to realize it was a dick, too. I

53:15

was like, "Okay." Last time I saw you,

53:17

you didn't have that, right?

53:19

>> Yeah. He's a He's a [ __ ] wild one.

53:21

Um,

53:22

>> that nuclear scientist thing or the UFO

53:24

scientist thing, is there anything to

53:25

that? Do we No.

53:29

Why don't you uh throw that into our ad

53:31

or uh sponsor Perplexity?

53:34

>> What does it say?

53:35

>> Uh, it's obviously an online link,

53:38

>> right? But I mean, the White House is

53:40

investigating

53:41

>> that they're bringing it up. They're

53:42

investigated because so many people are

53:43

asking about it.

53:44

>> Oh, that's it's that easy.

53:46

>> Let's find out if Michelle Obama has a

53:48

dick.

53:50

Can you imagine if the White House is

53:52

like we have an unprecedented number of

53:55

people asking this question? It's our

53:57

duty to do the work for the American

54:00

people.

54:00

>> They do. Why? They all had a like

54:04

security clearance and all happened to

54:06

work in similar fields like nuclear

54:08

fision fusion.

54:10

>> Okay. So what ties the 11 together? Many

54:13

have recently clearances or indirect

54:15

access to s sensitive government work

54:17

often via NASA, the Department of

54:19

Energy's, nuclear labs, the Air Force,

54:21

or major defense contractors. Their

54:23

deaths or disappearances occurred

54:25

between 2022 and early 2026, clustered

54:28

enough in time to draw political and

54:31

media attention. The White House has

54:33

ordered agencies such as FBI, NASA, the

54:35

Department of Energy, and the Department

54:37

of War to perform link analysis to see

54:40

if there's any pattern beyond

54:42

coincidence.

54:43

So, one of them was real weird where

54:45

there was like a lady who was hiking and

54:50

she was with a bunch of friends. Her

54:52

friend turned around and asked her a

54:53

question. She talked to her and then she

54:56

turned around again and she was gone.

54:59

And they have no idea what happened.

55:01

They never found a body. They brought

55:03

the dogs in. The dogs couldn't find her.

55:08

Just gone.

55:09

>> That's it.

55:10

>> But here's my question. If I was her and

55:13

I thought that they were trying to whack

55:15

me and I was going hiking with my

55:18

friends and I was at the back of the

55:20

line, that's where I'd be if I was going

55:21

to make a run for it, right? If I

55:23

thought all these people were bringing

55:24

me up there, these [ __ ] fellow

55:26

scientists to chuck me off the cliff. I

55:28

might be in the back and then I might,

55:30

if I'm paranoid, maybe I ate an edible

55:32

before I went on this hike to be a

55:33

little closer to nature and I'd look at

55:35

that person in front of me. I'm like,

55:36

I'm going to wait until they turn that

55:37

right around that turn and I'm [ __ ]

55:39

>> Homer Simpson into the bushes

55:42

>> and then she just [ __ ] booked it down

55:44

that hill and hopped in her car, got a

55:47

Uber waiting for disappeared.

55:50

case you're thinking of is Monica

55:52

Jasinto Raza, 60-year-old aerospace

55:55

engineer linked to NASA, JPL, and

55:57

Advanced Rocket Engine Materials

55:59

Research. She disappeared on June 22nd,

56:01

2025 while hiking in the Angeles

56:04

National Forest, Los Angeles County, on

56:07

a welltraveled trail. I know where that

56:08

place is. I've been to that spot.

56:11

Reports say she was hiking with at least

56:12

one friend companion. The friend was

56:15

roughly 30 ft ahead, turned to check on

56:17

her, saw her smile, and waved that she

56:20

was fine. Then a short time later,

56:22

looked back again, and she was gone.

56:24

Despite intensive searches, no confirmed

56:27

trace of her has been found, and her

56:30

case is now one of the central examples

56:32

of missing or dead scientist cluster

56:35

being reviewed by federal agencies.

56:37

>> Yeah, that's weird.

56:39

>> She disappeared. She She was like, "Fuck

56:41

She saw all these other scientists being

56:43

murdered and she was like, "I'm out."

56:44

>> Right. Cuz if you were a scientist,

56:46

you'd probably be paying attention to

56:47

other scientists getting whacked.

56:48

>> Oh yeah. On the same projects.

56:50

>> Especially if somebody started talking.

56:51

>> You're in an empty office.

56:52

>> You're in the You're in the coffee

56:54

station and someone's like, "Do you hear

56:55

what happened to Ted?" Ted's dead.

56:58

>> He shot himself twice.

57:03

>> From long range.

57:04

>> Wait a minute. Anti-gravity Ted.

57:05

Anti-gravity Ted. He's dead.

57:07

>> He killed He killed himself with a

57:08

sniper rifle. It was pretty crazy.

57:10

>> Get the [ __ ] out of here. Yeah,

57:11

>> I'm going hiking with Monica. I don't

57:13

[ __ ] trust Monica.

57:14

>> [ __ ] that.

57:15

>> Monica's trying to kill you.

57:17

>> I don't trust

57:17

>> She's out there hiking and Monica turns

57:19

and waves at her.

57:20

>> I don't trust hiking. She was probably

57:21

[ __ ] killed by a bear or a mountain

57:24

lion.

57:24

>> You could get you could get got.

57:26

>> That's crazy. I don't

57:27

>> My friend Cam, his um brother almost got

57:30

killed by a mountain lion and had this

57:32

crazy story about it. And he's a like a

57:34

distance runner. He's one of those

57:35

ultramarathon guys. Yeah. and his

57:38

brother told this video about like what

57:40

had happened to him. He was running down

57:42

the road and it was like dusk out, like

57:44

starting to get dark and he saw these

57:45

eyes, these glowing eyes in the bushes

57:49

and he yelled at it cuz he thought it

57:50

was a coyote and it stands up and it's a

57:53

[ __ ] mountain lion. And so then it

57:55

starts chasing him and he goes, "I

57:57

couldn't have used pepper spray because

57:59

if I did, I would have sprayed myself

58:02

cuz it was that close."

58:03

>> Wow.

58:04

>> He goes, "I yelled at it. I kicked rocks

58:06

at it. It kept And he goes, "I just

58:08

ran." He goes, "I think the thing that

58:10

might have saved me was a bunch of dogs

58:11

were barking."

58:12

>> Wow.

58:13

>> And it might have thought the dogs were

58:14

out there.

58:14

>> You're not out running a mountain lion.

58:16

>> No.

58:17

>> No.

58:17

>> It was It was running behind him, but

58:19

not like 100% committed to killing him

58:22

yet.

58:22

>> Wow. That's scary.

58:25

>> Yeah. Nature's [ __ ] scary. And people

58:27

like, "We need to make an overpass in

58:30

Los Angeles near these homes so the

58:33

mountain line can get across the [ __ ]

58:35

track." No. Any [ __ ] mountain line

58:38

that goes across the 405 should get

58:40

obliterated. That's That's nature.

58:42

That's nature. Hey, you thought that

58:44

[ __ ] semi wasn't dangerous, you

58:46

[ __ ] cat. That's a [ __ ] cat. Yes,

58:49

it is. that that cat probably his

58:51

brother [ __ ] his sister and that's

58:53

that's how he was born and now he's a

58:55

dumbass and he's supposed to get taken

58:57

out by a Subaru.

58:58

>> Did you ever see that? They uh it was

59:00

like all these inbredad tigers.

59:02

>> Yeah. Oh, white tigers.

59:03

>> Yeah, dude. And they were all like

59:04

[ __ ] goofy.

59:05

>> They have one at the Austin Zoo.

59:06

>> [ __ ] tigers.

59:07

>> We went to visit the Austin Zoo and you

59:08

looked at them like, "Hey,

59:11

>> their tongues are hanging out."

59:12

>> Yeah, they're goofy looking. A bunch of

59:15

those white ones are are inbred because

59:17

that's a weird like genetic thing, I

59:19

guess, to have a white one.

59:20

>> Cute, though. I I took my son to that uh

59:23

Tiger, not the Tiger King, but it was

59:25

the other guy, the ones who's in jail

59:27

for tax evasion now. Um

59:29

>> Tiger King's in jail for murder, right?

59:31

>> Yeah. No, no, no. The It was one of the

59:32

guys,

59:32

>> not for murder, but for like trying to

59:34

get someone murdered.

59:36

>> The other guy, what the [ __ ] his name?

59:37

He was one who had all the girlfriends.

59:39

>> Oh, the guy who ran the little cult. A

59:41

little cult going on.

59:42

>> Yeah, dude. I brought my son there and

59:44

59:45

presented the elephant. It was um Why am

59:47

>> Doc Antel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

59:51

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

59:51

Yeah. He brought the elephant out

59:53

himself. It was Dude, it was such a fun

59:54

show. Like there was like a half day. It

59:56

was like four or five hours.

59:57

>> He went to jail for what?

59:58

>> Tax evasion.

59:59

>> Ah, these [ __ ] pay your taxes,

60:01

people.

60:02

>> It's the dumbest way to get got.

60:04

>> Yeah. It's crazy. Oh, and while Yeah.

60:06

moneyaundering char I'm sorry.

60:07

Moneyaundering.

60:07

>> Moneyaundering.

60:08

>> Yeah. Wildlife trafficking and

60:11

moneyaundering. That's a lot different

60:12

than not paying your tax.

60:13

>> They have all of these baby tigers that

60:15

they bring out, but they only have like

60:16

two adult tigers. So, what are they

60:18

doing with these baby tigers?

60:19

>> Whoa, well, go back to that.

60:20

>> Hold on. Make that larger. What does it

60:23

say here? It says 12 months for pleading

60:26

guilty for in a conspiracy to violate

60:29

the Lacy Act and launder more than

60:31

$500,000 for what he believed to be an

60:34

operation to smuggle illegal immigrants

60:37

into the United States across the Mexico

60:39

border. Oh, this is a lot different than

60:41

that. Like he was getting illegal

60:43

immigrants across the border for money.

60:45

>> He was Yeah, he was sh

60:48

>> That's crazy. So that's not just like

60:52

wildlife stuff and taxes. Like this guy

60:54

was like illegal immigrant trafficking.

60:56

>> Yeah, this guy was a bad

60:58

>> Wow.

60:59

>> a bad dude probably. But he did have he

61:01

had a bunch of like a sweet cult going

61:03

on.

61:03

>> Young hot chicks. I met a I knew a girl

61:05

that I dated who went and interviewed

61:06

and she was like it felt like I was

61:08

interviewing for porn. She I showed up

61:10

and it was like oh no. The other girls

61:12

were like oh you're going to have to

61:13

like be a part of this.

61:15

>> Yeah.

61:15

>> Well the thing about this guy

61:16

>> but for a baby tiger dude I got to be

61:18

honest with you. They're really cute.

61:19

>> They're adorable.

61:20

>> I get it. Women are so [ __ ] dumb.

61:21

They're like baby tigers I'll suck his

61:23

dick. Fine.

61:24

>> Well I think they just want to belong to

61:26

something. And this guy comes along and

61:28

he's charismatic and you belong to his

61:29

little family. Family of five girls.

61:32

They're all hanging out together blowing

61:33

this one fat guy.

61:38

>> I mean,

61:39

>> smuggling Mexicans and murdering baby

61:40

tigers.

61:41

>> Well, that's the thing about those kind

61:42

of guys. This is why I was going to say

61:44

about the the smuggling in the Mexicans.

61:46

Those kind of guys are never happy

61:48

>> with whatever they've gotten away with.

61:50

They always want to keep pushing. Yeah.

61:52

You know, he was not happy that he's an

61:53

ugly guy with a cult, you know, of of

61:56

hot chicks and tigers.

61:57

>> Yeah. You're a millionaire. You have

61:58

tigers and hot chicks. That's all you

62:00

need.

62:00

>> You're in a TV show. You're good. You're

62:02

good. You don't have to smuggle in the

62:03

Mexicans, too. But those kind of guys

62:05

are always They just can't stop pushing.

62:07

>> Yeah.

62:07

>> Can't stop pushing.

62:09

>> Yeah. I think Yeah. It's whatever it is,

62:11

you you whatever level it is, you always

62:13

want to level up no matter what.

62:15

>> No matter what.

62:15

>> Bobby Kelly said that to me about

62:16

Louisie back in the day. He was like,

62:19

uh, you know, because we all we're all

62:20

everyone's insecure comedian. Everyone

62:22

in New York's insecure. Everyone in LA

62:23

and Austin, you guys [ __ ] you guys

62:24

are you guys [ __ ] love life. You're

62:27

just living life to your fullest.

62:28

Everyone in New York is like, I'm going

62:29

to kill myself. I hate [ __ ] life. It

62:30

sucks.

62:31

>> I think it's the environment.

62:32

>> Yeah. Well, it's a rough city. It's a

62:34

really rough city.

62:34

>> It's a great city. It's awesome.

62:37

>> Cities in general is a weird concept.

62:41

Shoving a bunch of people way too close

62:43

to each other

62:44

>> for long periods of time. It has an

62:46

effect.

62:47

>> It's also like uh it's just a it's a

62:49

rough city, dude. It's even when even

62:51

like the highest level, like if you're

62:52

doing well

62:53

>> Yeah. You still got to [ __ ] walk up

62:55

those subway stairs and it's just like

62:56

just hot air in the summertime down if

62:58

you try to take the subway or

63:00

>> you know sitting in New York traffic or

63:02

just like crazy homeless people walking

63:03

around. You got to like really want to

63:05

be there to stand it. I I did it for 20

63:08

years. I moved to the suburbs during the

63:09

pandemic. Um and I I love New I still

63:11

love New York. I go to New York a few

63:12

times a week still. But it is uh it is

63:15

definitely a young man's city where you

63:17

got to like you got to be there to like

63:18

I'm trying to become the best comic or a

63:19

dancer, work on Wall Street or whatever

63:21

it is. Like

63:22

>> that's true. But I know a lot of old

63:23

people that love it too, man. They'll

63:25

never leave. They love it.

63:27

>> The life they love the energy. There's

63:29

just people around them all the time.

63:31

There's something going on everywhere

63:33

you look. You can get food at 3:00 in

63:35

the morning. You could

63:36

>> I mean, as far if you're a city person

63:38

like Ari.

63:41

>> Yeah.

63:41

>> It there's no place like New York City.

63:43

>> Ari spends I don't even know how much on

63:45

rent, but probably $50,000 a month for a

63:48

room where you can touch all the walls.

63:50

>> Yeah. It's crazy. It's stupid. It's

63:52

stupid. And now if you're rich and you

63:55

own property and you don't stay there,

63:57

they're going to they're going to tax

63:58

you more. There's a new thing that Mom

64:00

Donnie just came out with and everyone's

64:02

like, "Yeah, [ __ ] the billionaires."

64:03

Like,

64:04

>> okay, [ __ ] the billionaires until it's

64:06

[ __ ] the thousands.

64:07

>> It's all it's not even just

64:08

billionaires. Like, we're talking about

64:10

you don't have to be particularly

64:12

wealthy to own property. Like, it's a

64:14

good investment with the money that you

64:15

have,

64:16

>> right? But this particular bill is about

64:18

more than $5 million valued homes.

64:21

>> Okay? So, if you have an apartment in

64:22

New York City, it's worth more than $5

64:24

million. You get taxed more.

64:26

>> Yeah.

64:27

>> And he's like saying it won't be that

64:28

big a deal and it will it'll give the

64:30

city $500 million in in extra revenue

64:34

that they could use for all kinds of

64:35

things that they want to do,

64:37

>> which is great if you've cut out all the

64:40

fraud,

64:42

>> but you haven't. And so, you're not even

64:44

concentrating on the fraud. You're not

64:45

even admitting the fraud exists. You're

64:46

not even admitting the waste exists.

64:48

>> Yeah. How about you tell us where all

64:51

the money to NOS's went? How about you

64:54

tell us that? How about you tell us

64:56

where all the homeless money went? What'

64:58

you spend it on? There's all these

65:00

homeless people. It seems like no,

65:02

someone didn't do a good job and got a

65:04

lot of money. What happened? And you

65:05

want more money? That's a crazy answer.

65:08

>> And it's also like the idea that rich

65:09

people are inherently like privileged.

65:12

It's very bizarre. Like I'm not rich,

65:13

but I do pretty well. Like I do I do

65:15

better than you know much better than

65:17

the average American financially you

65:18

know um a lot of people would consider

65:20

me you know pretty well to do but like I

65:22

grew up welfare drug addict mother dad's

65:25

dad when I was four years old I had to

65:26

[ __ ] I spent 15 years doing comedy

65:29

making zero dollars investing into this

65:32

thing to hopefully one day on the other

65:33

side of it be able to reap the benefits

65:36

of it. So now that I've finally broken

65:38

through the other side you're like oh

65:39

well no you don't deserve all that

65:41

money. We deserve some of that money.

65:42

That's crazy.

65:42

>> Yeah. There's a weird concept in this

65:45

country and it's because of the

65:47

billionaire class. So there's a level of

65:50

the game where they've passed so far.

65:53

See if everybody only got this is like

65:55

what people would like to say, you know,

65:56

being a millionaire is fine. Nobody

65:58

should be a billionaire. We should have

66:00

a cap on wealth. The problem with that

66:02

is you're going to also have a cap on

66:04

motivation.

66:05

>> Yeah.

66:06

>> So a lot of these people psychopaths. A

66:09

lot of these people that run these

66:10

corporations are [ __ ] psychopaths and

66:12

they work 16 hours a day, seven days a

66:14

week. And the only reason why they do

66:16

that is because they know that they can

66:18

make a hundred billion dollars if they

66:20

do that.

66:21

>> And if you stop that, you're going to

66:23

stop iPhones. You're you're not going to

66:26

have Lenovo laptops. You're not going to

66:28

have any of these things. If you if

66:30

that's where it's weird for people, like

66:32

you're not going to have an Amazon

66:34

unless you have a guy who's a

66:35

billionaire. Like it's not going to See,

66:37

the thing is No, it's not fair. You're

66:39

right. It's not fair. And here's the

66:41

thing. Would it be fair? It is fair.

66:44

Kind of fair. Life is kind of fair in a

66:46

weird way.

66:47

>> Oh, please. Depending on how you treat

66:48

your employees.

66:50

>> Okay.

66:50

>> That's where we decide whether or not

66:52

it's fair.

66:52

>> So, you're saying that Amazon doesn't

66:53

treat their employees well? I hear that

66:55

a lot.

66:55

>> I hear that a lot, too. I don't know if

66:57

it's true, but what I do know is that

66:59

there's a lot of [ __ ] complaints. And

67:01

if there's a lot where there's smoke,

67:03

probably some fire. I know that there's

67:05

like some efficiency things where you

67:07

have like a clock ticks off like if you

67:08

order a [ __ ] a box of legal pads.

67:11

Yeah.

67:12

>> You know those little notebooks you have

67:14

to this guy has to get that in the box

67:16

in like 30 seconds or whatever the [ __ ]

67:18

it is. So he has to run around like

67:20

people are literally like moving quickly

67:22

around the warehouse.

67:23

>> Yeah. They're like you hear stories and

67:25

once again you have to take everything

67:26

with a grain of salt. Like employees

67:27

become bitter sometimes. You know what

67:28

I'm saying? Like most people hate their

67:30

boss.

67:31

>> True. But that job does sounds like it

67:32

sucks and it sounds like you're asking

67:34

people to run around because you want to

67:35

make the most money possible, but you're

67:37

paying them not that great. Like that's

67:39

a weird one because you're also setting

67:42

up the inevitable, which is robots

67:45

>> because they're going to be able to do

67:45

that way easier and quicker. They're

67:47

going to know exactly where the product

67:48

is. They're not going to have to look on

67:49

their [ __ ] little iPad. They're going

67:52

to know exactly where it is. They're

67:53

going to go right to it, package it.

67:54

They're going to print out

67:55

instantaneously.

67:57

>> They're never going to the bathroom,

67:58

never leak. They don't need food. Nope.

68:01

They never complain.

68:02

>> You're [ __ ] no matter what because

68:03

they're going to lay off a bunch of

68:05

people. There's no if ends or buts.

68:06

>> Oh, yeah. That that that is going to be

68:08

really effective. You're talking about

68:09

like how AI and robots are going to like

68:11

affect certain industries driving, you

68:14

know, factory workers, things like that.

68:15

That's all just going away.

68:16

>> Yeah. That's the real threat to your

68:18

job, not the billionaires. But the thing

68:20

is, like you see a guy, whether it's

68:22

like Elon Musk or someone like I think

68:24

Elon's supposedly worth like 800 billion

68:26

now, and people just get really angry.

68:28

They really get upset. Like, and think

68:30

about how much that would help if he

68:32

gave his money away. And I get what

68:34

you're saying, but the problem is give

68:37

the money away to who? Give the money

68:40

away to the people that have [ __ ] up

68:41

the money that we've already given them.

68:43

Like, you got to be honest about, look,

68:45

the idea is great. Wouldn't it be

68:47

wonderful if Elon Musk just gave away a

68:49

hundred billion dollars and we

68:51

completely fixed all poverty and

68:53

homelessness is gone. No more food

68:56

problems. everyone. No starvation on

68:58

earth.

68:58

>> The idea that throwing money at homeless

69:02

people is just going to fix the problem.

69:04

>> Exactly.

69:05

>> I mean, I'm Believe me, I I have

69:06

empathy. I'm not going like, "Oh, [ __ ]

69:08

the homeless." I I don't have that

69:09

attitude at all. But at the same time,

69:10

it's like

69:11

>> wherever you go, there you are.

69:13

>> The idea of giving the government money

69:15

to fix things.

69:16

>> Oh, that's crazy. That's insane. That's

69:18

actually If you ever try to try to go to

69:20

a government building, you you see the

69:22

inefficiency. If you just try to call to

69:24

get some information about your taxes,

69:26

if you try to call the IRS, you see the

69:28

inefficiency. You're like, there's no

69:29

[ __ ] way, dude. And it's just

69:31

honestly, it's designed to be that way.

69:33

It's designed to be really intricate and

69:35

difficult, and there's a lot of people

69:36

that have to get paid. So, it's like

69:38

that. And that's I was so excited about

69:39

Elon and Trump getting together and and

69:41

doing the um Doge.

69:43

>> Yeah. Yeah. Doge. I was like, what a

69:44

great idea. Two real brilliant business

69:47

minds trying to figure out government

69:48

efficiency and trying to save us money.

69:50

I was like, they're going to do it. And

69:51

of course, nothing happened. Well, some

69:53

things happened. A lot of things did get

69:55

shut down. And it also opened up a lot

69:57

of people's eyes to the understanding of

69:59

what an NGO is and where the money goes.

70:02

And when people found out how many NOS's

70:04

there are and how much money gets spent,

70:06

they're like, "Wait, wait, wait, whoa,

70:07

whoa, whoa, whoa. Can we get an

70:09

accounting of this stuff?" Like, this

70:10

sounds nuts. There's so much money

70:12

that's being sent out to these

70:15

nonprofits and these organizations.

70:17

Like, did you see hear when Spencer

70:19

Pratt was on the podcast?

70:21

>> No, I didn't. he's running for mayor of

70:23

New York or excuse me of Los Angeles.

70:25

And one of the things that he was

70:26

talking about

70:27

>> was the fire aid. Like so the money that

70:30

they generated over $und00 million was

70:33

generated uh for the people that lost

70:35

their homes in the Pacific Palisades

70:37

fire.

70:38

>> All of it went to these NOS's

70:41

>> like it went to he said what did he say

70:43

20 different how many different 200

70:45

different

70:46

>> I think it was 200 different

70:48

>> Yeah. 200 different nonprofits got the

70:51

money that was supposed to go to the

70:53

houses, the people that lost their

70:54

house.

70:54

>> Yeah.

70:55

>> Hundred million dollars and they just

70:57

divvied it up.

70:58

>> And how much of that money? 20% goes to

71:01

actual people. The rest is

71:02

>> they don't even know how many people are

71:04

getting benefit from it.

71:06

>> Yeah. It's I mean if you there's like

71:08

lists of like charities and nonprofits

71:10

and how what the percentage is that

71:12

actually goes to insane. They divided up

71:15

between 200 different nonprofits. How

71:17

about give it to the people? Yeah.

71:18

>> Because the thing about these

71:19

nonprofits, they rely on that kind of

71:21

money in order to pay their staff. And

71:23

some of these, you find out some of

71:24

these people that are working for these

71:26

government agencies, is another thing

71:27

that Spencer has uncovered. There's like

71:30

a a ton of them that are making more

71:31

than a half a million dollars a year.

71:33

>> Oh, yeah.

71:34

>> Oh, yeah.

71:36

But there's a weird thing with like the

71:37

nonprofits like all right if you if you

71:39

have to attract like a CEO from like a

71:41

major corporation to come and make this

71:43

nonprofit efficient and to really

71:45

generate as much revenue as possible.

71:47

Like if they're making more money

71:48

because they have a really competent CEO

71:50

and a really competent staff and only

71:52

20% of it is going to help people, but

71:54

it's still 200% of what the next

71:56

company's doing. I guess it's it's worth

71:58

it, right?

71:59

>> Well, the thing is they're not a

72:02

company. They're the government. So,

72:04

they're not held accountable. They're

72:05

they're not supposed to be efficient.

72:07

They don't they don't have to be

72:08

profitable. They don't have to do like a

72:11

good audit of their business. This is

72:13

one of the things that Elon said, if any

72:15

of these [ __ ] companies, he's like,

72:16

if any one of them that like where they

72:18

just sent out billions of dollars and

72:20

they have no accounting and no receipts

72:21

for it,

72:22

>> he goes, if you were a part of a

72:23

publicly traded company, you would be

72:26

tried. You would your company would lose

72:29

its credit. Yeah. Your your company

72:31

would fall off the stock market. it it

72:33

would be like a [ __ ] company now and

72:34

you would go to jail

72:36

>> like you that's totally illegal but in

72:38

government it's standard practice so the

72:41

the in inefficiency is built in I was

72:44

reading something about California tell

72:45

me if this is true they were talking

72:47

about California's see put this into

72:49

perplexity California the percentage of

72:52

people that live in California went up

72:55

by a small amount but the percentage of

72:57

government went up by a large amount

73:00

>> there's the percentage of people with

73:02

government jobs

73:03

>> went up considerably whereas the

73:05

population didn't go up. I don't know if

73:08

this is true. This is why I want to have

73:09

it looked up. But

73:12

>> when you just stop and think about the

73:13

fact that it's a business to hire people

73:15

to be inefficient and that it's within

73:18

your best interest to not just never be

73:21

efficient and never solve the problem

73:23

because if you do, you're out of a job,

73:25

but also to make the problem bigger

73:26

every year so you could hire more people

73:28

and get a bigger raise and a bigger

73:30

thing. And that's why

73:32

this homeless thing in California. It's

73:34

like more than $24 billion they spent on

73:36

the homeless

73:38

>> on what though? What are they doing?

73:40

>> Exactly. What are they

73:41

>> exactly? So, they've tried to get audits

73:42

and Newsome has vetoed the audits.

73:45

>> Wow.

73:47

>> Which is crazy that they could say no,

73:51

you can't find out if any fraud or any

73:54

waste has happened with tax dollars. No,

73:56

we're going to stop that investigation.

73:58

>> Well, that's crazy. Yeah. And that

74:00

that's So there I would vote for almost

74:02

anybody who if they just said I'm going

74:04

to cut your taxes in half, they have my

74:05

vote.

74:06

>> The problem is what are you doing with

74:08

the taxes there should if AI has a role

74:12

in solving this? What AI should be able

74:14

to do it's like we should say yeah you

74:16

tax me a fair amount. I'm happy to pay

74:19

taxes if I'm if it's going to public

74:21

schools and public roads. I absolutely

74:23

feel very happy to contribute and I want

74:26

the world to be a better place because

74:27

of my tax dollars. But also,

74:31

where's it going?

74:32

>> Yeah, it's going to

74:32

>> Where's it going?

74:33

>> Bomb school children overseas and to

74:36

>> fund wars that most people don't want.

74:38

So,

74:39

>> and transgender dancing in Indonesia.

74:41

Like,

74:42

>> is that a thing that's happening?

74:43

>> Oh, there's weird [ __ ] They spent $250

74:46

million doing uh transsexual operations

74:50

on animals.

74:53

Experimenting on animals to turn them

74:54

trans. No, no, no [ __ ] No [ __ ]

74:57

250. I think it was $251 million. Oh my

75:01

god. Yeah, they spent $2 million giving

75:03

cocaine to dogs. California's population

75:06

has dipped slightly since 2020 while

75:08

government jobs have been one of the few

75:09

areas of job growth. So yes, government

75:12

employee employment has generally

75:14

increased even as the population growth

75:16

stalled or reversed. So what is the

75:18

percentage? So total job growth has

75:21

slowed sharply. Statewide employment

75:24

grew by uh only about half of a percent

75:28

in 2023, then actually fell slightly

75:31

down about 100 uh 11,200 jobs or 0.1% in

75:35

2025. State overall is only a few% in

75:39

jobs compared with before the pandemic

75:42

and it lags the national growth rate. So

75:48

how many more jobs? What's the

75:49

percentage more? I think that's more

75:53

>> Is it because people are leaving

75:54

California?

75:55

>> So it says in 2025 private employers

75:57

there's a lot of that cut about 31,000

76:00

jobs while government employers added

76:03

about 20,200

76:06

jobs driven mostly by a gain of 45,800

76:10

local government positions. So they

76:12

added 45,000 government positions while

76:15

private employers cut 31,000 jobs.

76:20

So they just keep making the government

76:22

bigger. So the economy

76:24

>> Yeah.

76:25

>> fuels the government. The government

76:27

controls the economy. It's all nuts.

76:30

>> Yeah. When I mean when you say

76:31

government job, that's like people like

76:33

a clerk that works in like the

76:34

courthouse. That also counts, right?

76:36

>> They Yeah. But they also do weird [ __ ]

76:37

like they have to have new regulations.

76:39

They have to have people that make

76:40

regulations now and justify their jobs

76:42

if there's a lot of government jobs. So

76:44

then you get wacky rulings like

76:46

California recently they're banning

76:48

blackjack in casinos. No more blackjack.

76:51

>> Why not blackjack?

76:52

>> Putting a foot down. No more blackjack

76:55

in River City.

76:57

>> Why? Why no blackjack? I don't

76:58

understand it.

76:59

>> No one understands it. It doesn't make

77:01

any [ __ ] sense. You can play poker.

77:02

You can't play blackjack. How about [ __ ]

77:04

you stay away from me.

77:06

>> Yeah. How about if I earn uh $2,000 in a

77:10

week and I want to take $500 and go to

77:12

the casino and try to win more or lose

77:15

it. How about [ __ ] you, you leave me the

77:18

[ __ ] alone. You're just another human

77:20

being. You should have no opinion.

77:22

>> Well, they want to The government wants

77:24

to get their hands in every vice because

77:26

they know they know we can't we can't

77:28

give up our vices. We can't give up

77:30

alcohol and weed and cigarettes and

77:32

gambling and prostitution.

77:33

>> They're not getting rid of gambling.

77:34

That's the thing. They're still paying

77:36

the casinos still pay taxes, right?

77:38

>> You just eliminated one of their [ __ ]

77:40

ways to make money.

77:42

>> Is there Is there a public reason why

77:43

they've said it?

77:44

>> I'd like to find out.

77:45

>> Yeah.

77:45

>> Let's find out what What's the public?

77:47

>> Blackjack is my only game.

77:48

>> That's it. That's

77:49

>> Do you know what you're doing or you're

77:50

a wild [ __ ] who hits 17?

77:52

>> No, I'm good. I'm good at blackjack. I

77:53

mean, I'm good. I'm I know the rules of

77:55

the book and I play by the rules and I I

77:58

sit down at the table expecting to lose

78:00

everything and if I don't, I'm happy.

78:01

That's that.

78:02

>> Yeah. Jamie wants some money. Shane

78:03

wants some money.

78:04

>> Blackjack. Yeah, they were doing pretty

78:06

good. The watching Dana White do it is

78:08

gives you [ __ ] anxiety though, dude.

78:10

>> Just like crazy bets.

78:11

>> He was $600,000 down when I met him

78:14

there.

78:16

>> I was like, dude, this is crazy. And I

78:18

was watching these people. That kid

78:20

Aiden Ross, you know, that streamer kid,

78:22

that kid lost a million bucks. I'm just

78:23

like, lost a million. Like, how much is

78:25

he making?

78:26

>> I take $500 out every time.

78:28

>> According to this was banned from card

78:30

rooms, not casinos. That's kind of a

78:32

different thing.

78:33

>> Oh, that's right. It is a card room

78:34

where they play poker. That's right.

78:36

>> Cuz their casinos are different. Their

78:37

casinos are only like in uh

78:40

>> And that's what this whole thing

78:40

>> Indian places, right? It says this whole

78:43

>> reservations. Yeah. Same the same thing

78:44

in Jersey, New York. Yeah.

78:46

>> The '9s.

78:47

>> So that's right. But what is Wait a

78:48

minute. What's the Bicycle Club casino?

78:50

Isn't that a casino?

78:52

>> I don't know who runs it,

78:54

>> but it's on It's in California. Like

78:56

it's in like Orange County. Bicycle Club

78:59

Casino.

79:02

So, uh, the reason why I know about that

79:06

place is I used to go there to watch

79:08

professional pool tournaments.

79:10

And then I that was the first time I

79:11

realized like, oh, there's a casino in

79:14

California, like right off the highway.

79:16

I think it's off what what highway is

79:18

that off of?

79:20

But it's like if you're going down to

79:22

like do a gig in San Diego, you'll

79:25

you'll pass by this place if you go down

79:26

one of the roads.

79:27

>> 710.

79:28

>> 710. Yeah. There you go.

79:31

But uh so what is that? Did do they have

79:35

blackjack there? Because I know they had

79:37

poker there. You know, Ari Shafir during

79:39

his uh early days of comedy would make a

79:41

living going to poker tournaments.

79:44

>> Playing.

79:44

>> Yeah, that's how good he is at poker.

79:46

>> Really?

79:46

>> Oh yeah, man. He would snap off poker

79:48

tournaments all the time.

79:50

>> Some people are good. I like it's just a

79:52

patience thing.

79:53

>> Well, he just plays it like for him it

79:54

was a job. He's like I play it like it's

79:56

a job. He's like, "These people all get

79:57

drunk and they all get high and they're

79:59

all [ __ ] stupid. They make dumb

80:00

choices." He goes, "I I play smart

80:03

against idiots and they get drunk and I

80:05

win money."

80:06

>> It says it's technically a poker card

80:08

room, but this says they have blackjack,

80:10

but maybe they fell in the rules where

80:11

they're not allowed to have it now, too.

80:12

I don't.

80:13

>> Right. Three card poker and bakarat. We

80:16

were talking about Bakarat the other day

80:18

because that's what Dana White's moved

80:20

to because you get more money.

80:22

>> Is that like uh It's kind of like

80:23

blackjack but no, I'm thinking of the

80:24

Asian one. What's the Asian move? I have

80:26

no idea what Bakarat

80:27

>> It's three cards you got to get.

80:28

>> How many cards is Bakarat?

80:31

>> I have no idea how to play it. I don't

80:32

know what it is. I've just heard it

80:34

before.

80:34

>> Yeah,

80:34

>> I've heard that name before. I've never

80:36

looked into it.

80:37

>> Yeah. I I mean, I look at it as like

80:38

going to uh like I don't like baseball,

80:40

but like I go to a baseball game and eat

80:42

hot dogs and drink beer. It's like the

80:43

same thing as casino. Like I'm not a big

80:44

gambler. I'm like I'm just going to

80:46

drink and I'm going to have fun, hang

80:47

out with a chick. Like

80:49

>> it just seems like you can't win.

80:51

>> No.

80:51

>> And it's also what are you doing? What

80:54

are you doing? just rolling dice every

80:56

day. That's crazy. That's a You're

80:58

spiking your adrenaline every day,

80:59

rolling dice for your [ __ ] mortgage.

81:01

>> Yeah, it's just a It's just a It's a

81:03

game with stakes. We

81:04

>> Bakarat is a comparing card game play

81:07

between two hands. The player and the

81:09

banker. Each Bakarat coup uh round of

81:12

play has three possible outcomes.

81:15

Player, player has the higher score,

81:17

banker, and tie.

81:20

>> Okay.

81:21

>> Yeah. They like it cuz you you it's a

81:22

one quick bet and you can bet up to 500k

81:25

per hand, I think. And then you can also

81:27

tie so you don't lose. It's not going to

81:29

win or lose.

81:30

>> Oh my god.

81:31

>> Big swings. Big swings. Big fast swings.

81:34

>> Jesus.

81:35

>> If you get down No, but I watch people

81:37

play these games and go.

81:39

>> Look, I admire their balls.

81:41

>> Especially poker players. Like, you got

81:43

to be a smart [ __ ] to to win

81:46

those big World Series of poker things,

81:48

make a bunch of money playing poker.

81:51

Yeah, that's was uh one of my favorite

81:53

scenes from Rounders where they they

81:55

talk about how uh I always use that like

81:57

analogy in life where they talk about um

82:00

people like oh they think it's luck.

82:01

They think that you know it's the luck

82:02

of the the draw and it's like if it was

82:04

about if it was luck why is it the same

82:06

eight guys at the final table of the

82:08

World Series of Poker every single year.

82:09

>> Exactly.

82:10

>> It's like you're not playing the cards,

82:11

you're playing the game, you're playing

82:12

each other. I kind of like look at that

82:14

like in life and I'm like it's like the

82:16

cards don't really matter as much as how

82:18

you play them, you know?

82:19

>> Yeah. Yeah, it's a complicated game.

82:21

It's And but why is that okay but

82:23

blackjack isn't? Like who [ __ ] says

82:26

like says who? Says who? Why? Why? You

82:31

know what I mean? Why? Why more

82:33

regulations? I'll tell you why. Because

82:35

they have to justify all these [ __ ]

82:36

extra jobs.

82:38

>> That's a lot of where regulations come

82:39

from. And it's also there it's fun. You

82:41

could tell people what to do. No more

82:43

flavored zins.

82:44

>> Yeah. There's like all these like just

82:46

like weird things that don't like

82:47

there's like weird laws. So, I live in

82:49

Bergen County, New Jersey, and it's like

82:51

um they have blue laws still. I don't

82:52

know if you know what that is.

82:53

>> Oh, yeah. Those are the best. Sunday

82:54

>> Sunday, no like no, you can't buy

82:56

clothes. You can't buy like furniture.

82:59

>> You can't buy clothes.

83:00

>> Can't buy clothes on Sundays.

83:02

>> Walmart.

83:04

Walmart.

83:04

>> What if you [ __ ] your pants? Are you new

83:05

to town?

83:06

>> You're [ __ ] You got to walk around

83:08

and smell like [ __ ]

83:11

But Walmart in uh New Jersey, they rope

83:14

off the clothing section. They have it

83:16

set up to where like you literally can't

83:17

go past it. You still buy food, but you

83:19

can't go to the clothing section.

83:20

>> When I was a kid, um there was no

83:23

alcohol for sale in Sundays on in uh

83:26

Massachusetts.

83:27

>> Yeah.

83:27

>> And so we had to go to New Hampshire to

83:29

get beer. So we'd make a what we call a

83:31

pachy run because they would call them

83:33

package stores and you know with that

83:35

Boston accent, mush, you want to go to

83:36

the pachy and we have to drive.

83:40

>> Everybody was mush. There was a there

83:42

was a time there was this was a Newton

83:43

North thing and people from

83:45

Massachusetts I think maybe people still

83:48

use this but they would call instead of

83:50

dude it would be mush mush everybody was

83:52

mush mush we going mush we going out

83:54

like girls would say it to you mush you

83:56

taking me out it was weird and it's only

83:58

this one part of the city had mush like

84:01

my part didn't have mush but a few

84:03

people tried it out it started catching

84:05

on with my part of the city but in

84:08

Newton North I was in Newton South

84:10

Newton North everybody was mush. It was

84:12

like everybody's nick. It was weird like

84:13

a a virus of like language went through

84:16

the entire city.

84:17

>> Dude, thick of thick accents from like

84:19

certain American cities on women just so

84:21

unattractive.

84:22

>> That's a rough one. Boston got really

84:24

hot to bypass that accent.

84:26

>> Philly. You meet a girl from Philly.

84:27

>> A rough one.

84:28

>> Hard girls, but probably a lot of fun.

84:30

>> Oh yeah.

84:30

>> So we would we'd have to drive to New

84:32

Hampshire. So we take we'd have to drive

84:33

an hour and a half to go get booze.

84:35

>> Yeah. No, that that exists in certain

84:36

places still. In New Jersey it's like

84:38

you can't Yeah. It's got to be a liquor

84:40

store specifically. You can't buy beer

84:42

in a supermarket. I grew up in in the

84:43

suburbs in New York, so you could buy

84:45

beer in the supermarket.

84:46

>> Made it where you couldn't buy wine for

84:48

a while. Then for a couple years, you

84:49

could buy wine. It's all these dumb

84:51

[ __ ] laws.

84:52

>> They're all Chick-fil-A laws.

84:53

>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. But

84:56

>> Chick-fil-A is so silly. They take

84:58

Sundays off for the Lord.

85:00

>> Like, bro, you're grinding chickens up

85:02

with titanium and aluminum in it. Like,

85:05

what the [ __ ] are you talking about?

85:07

>> Yeah. But it's good. Delicious.

85:09

>> It's [ __ ] delicious.

85:09

>> God damn, it's delicious.

85:10

>> If you make a del if you just make a

85:12

delicious sandwich, I don't care what

85:14

your beliefs are.

85:15

>> It's so delicious that even gay people

85:16

eat there. Think of that.

85:18

>> Yeah.

85:18

>> All the [ __ ] that guy's talked about the

85:20

gays. The gay people are like, "Put it

85:22

aside and have some chicken.

85:24

>> Whatever.

85:24

>> The chicken.

85:25

>> He's just a bitch."

85:26

>> But they got What is that weird

85:28

ingredient that we found out was in the

85:30

uh the bread?

85:32

>> It was something kooky, right?

85:34

>> Yeah. It's aluminum something or other,

85:36

but it's in a lot of things.

85:37

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's in

85:39

there.

85:39

>> It's in there.

85:41

>> I've seen something about the blue lot.

85:43

You can't buy a car on Sunday in Texas.

85:45

>> That's hilarious.

85:46

>> That's wild. Yeah. It's so weird.

85:47

>> Oh, that makes sense. That makes sense.

85:49

>> What's funny is there so there's a mall

85:51

in New Jersey. The mall not Mall

85:52

American

85:54

Dream Mall. Huge huge huge mall. Like

85:56

one of these like super malls, right?

85:58

Like you know [ __ ] there's a water

85:59

park inside. There's a there's a

86:01

>> water park. Okay. There's a ski

86:03

>> um you can learn skiing. It's like a

86:06

fake ski hill. A Snow Hill.

86:08

>> Yes. Year year round. You can take ski

86:09

and snowboard lessons.

86:10

>> Oh, that would help so much.

86:12

>> It's so cool, dude. It's It's really

86:13

cool. They got like, you know, a bunch

86:14

of escape rooms. It's just a massive

86:16

massive mall. Yeah, it is. That's nuts.

86:18

>> Yeah. Inside, dude. They got a water

86:19

park. They got a Nickelodeon studios.

86:21

There's like a theme park inside of the

86:23

mall. It's a crazy mall. And they just

86:25

said, "Fuck it. We're opening Sundays."

86:27

>> There's a big sign right on the side of

86:29

it's like, "We're open Sundays. We don't

86:30

care." And Pamis uh is suing them.

86:32

Paramis is one of the biggest shopping

86:34

cities in the country, I believe.

86:36

Imagine the government is saying you

86:38

can't do business with a bunch of people

86:40

that want to come to your business.

86:41

>> Crazy

86:41

>> because it's a different day.

86:43

>> Yep.

86:44

>> [ __ ] you.

86:45

>> What was funny is it's not the

86:46

government. I looked into this cuz I was

86:48

going like, "What the [ __ ] going on

86:49

here?"

86:50

>> The people, all these old [ __ ] people

86:52

that have been living in this community

86:54

forever, they it goes to a vote and

86:56

every year they go, "No, no, no. We

86:58

don't want traffic. We want Sundays in

87:00

Bergen County to be [ __ ] relaxing and

87:02

nice and beautiful because there's no

87:04

taxes." I think, but I believe to this

87:05

day on clothing there's no taxes in

87:07

Jersey. So, we would do our school

87:09

shopping in Jersey when I was growing

87:10

up. We would just drive 30 minutes to to

87:12

Bergen County and go to the mall.

87:14

>> Um, and you save money on taxes. Um, so

87:18

yeah, but uh yeah, that that mall was

87:20

just like, [ __ ] it. And then a huge

87:22

sign. I'm talking about like the mall's

87:23

so big. The sign I don't even like I

87:25

don't even know how you would make a

87:26

sign this [ __ ] big, but it's just

87:28

draped down the sign. We're down the

87:29

side. We're open on Sundays. They don't

87:31

give a [ __ ]

87:32

>> So, are they getting sued now? They're

87:33

being sued by Pramis.

87:35

>> I bet they're going to win. This doesn't

87:37

make sense. That law is stupid. Do you

87:39

need business? Yes. Is the economy down?

87:41

Yes. Wouldn't it be better if people had

87:44

the option to be able to go to the

87:45

[ __ ] mall on Sunday? Especially

87:47

somebody who works every [ __ ] day and

87:48

maybe they have to work Saturday as well

87:50

and Sunday's their only day off. How

87:52

about let them go there to buy some

87:53

pants?

87:53

>> Y [ __ ] control freak.

87:56

>> Let him buy a [ __ ] hat. What's wrong

87:59

with you, you [ __ ]

88:01

>> We're the government. We got guns. You

88:03

can't shop here. [ __ ] you, man.

88:06

>> That's the problem is the problem is

88:07

these [ __ ] [ __ ] just keep adding

88:09

more and more regulations.

88:11

>> Yeah,

88:12

>> it's dumb.

88:13

>> What else can't you do in Texas on

88:14

Sunday?

88:15

>> Uh,

88:16

>> what was that one that was dumb that you

88:18

just said?

88:19

>> Can't buy a car. Can't buy a car.

88:20

>> The thing was you couldn't buy You

88:22

couldn't sell things on consecutive

88:23

weekend days, so everybody just sort of

88:25

picked Saturday, it says.

88:27

>> Huh. That's ridiculous.

88:29

>> You can't buy liquor on Sundays here.

88:30

>> Phil in Texas. Yeah,

88:32

>> you can in a restaurant, but not at a

88:35

store.

88:36

>> So, at the supermarket, what do they do?

88:38

They say, "We can't sell you that cuz

88:39

it's Sunday."

88:40

>> You can

88:41

>> It's the Lord's day. We can't sell We

88:43

could sell you beer. You could drink

88:45

yourself to death on some hooch. They

88:47

give you some wine.

88:48

>> Like, you go to one city, it's like the

88:49

like it's so strict. Then you go to like

88:51

New Orleans and like they're like they

88:54

just have like people will hand you a

88:55

beer at a window. You just walk down the

88:56

street, you're partying in the streets.

88:58

like it's such a weird like

89:00

differentiation between like each

89:02

jurisdiction.

89:03

>> Yeah. We were doing a gig down there and

89:04

the guy uh who was a driver, he was

89:07

telling me about how uh he went

89:09

somewhere else and the cops pulled him

89:11

over because he had an open drink and he

89:12

was walking down the street and he and

89:15

the the guy goes, "Where are you from?"

89:16

And he goes, "Norand." And he's like,

89:18

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't do that

89:20

anywhere else." Like that thing that you

89:23

>> do in Vegas,

89:24

>> can you you watch the beer?

89:26

>> Okay, that's good. I think you could do

89:28

it on Sixth Street in Austin. Can you? I

89:30

think No, you can.

89:31

>> No.

89:32

>> I think people do it.

89:33

>> People definitely do it.

89:34

>> They definitely do it. I've seen them.

89:35

>> Yeah. I don't think you're allowed to.

89:37

>> Well, is there any enforcement of that

89:39

law?

89:39

>> That's probably not the main thing

89:40

they're worried about. I don't think

89:42

most days.

89:43

>> Boy, a lot of sloppy fights on Sixth

89:44

Street. There's a there's entire YouTube

89:47

and Instagram pages dedicated to Sixth

89:49

Street fights.

89:50

>> Just brutal. I saw I saw one I don't

89:52

know if it was Six Street, but I saw one

89:53

where was a dude who obviously had like

89:54

wrestling experience.

89:57

I mean, dude, he suplexed this dude. He

89:59

paralyzed a guy.

89:59

>> Oh god.

90:00

>> He he suplexed a guy

90:03

>> on the concrete

90:04

>> completely laid out completely.

90:05

>> Jesus Christ.

90:06

>> And it's like, god damn, dude. Just like

90:08

that. Two lives over, right? This guy,

90:10

he's now in a wheelchair for the rest of

90:11

his life. This guy is going to [ __ ]

90:13

jail.

90:14

>> That's that.

90:14

>> Oh god.

90:15

>> Over not being able to control your

90:16

emotions.

90:17

>> Yeah. No, you're not allowed to do that

90:18

in Austin. Only on like certain events

90:21

when it's like a festival or something.

90:23

>> God, booze is so bad for people.

90:25

>> Yeah. booze and being a young man and

90:27

being foolish.

90:29

>> Ego.

90:30

>> Yeah, ego.

90:31

>> Just need the need to prove yourself.

90:32

>> Also, like you're a wrestler. You really

90:34

know how to wrestle. You're going to

90:35

pile drive this dude into the concrete.

90:37

>> It's It's weird because it's usually

90:38

it's guys that don't know how to fight

90:39

that are doing stupid guys that know how

90:40

to fight. Typically,

90:41

>> maybe the other guy had it coming. I

90:44

don't know what happened, but no one has

90:46

that coming, but I mean, maybe he

90:47

started the fight. I don't, you know, I

90:49

shouldn't have said it had it coming.

90:52

But having a any kind of a altercation

90:55

on the concrete is so [ __ ] dangerous.

90:59

>> Dudes die all the time when they get

91:00

KO'ed.

91:01

>> And most guys that especially if guys

91:03

sucker punch guys and they just fall

91:05

back and the whole weight of their body

91:08

bangs off the back of their head. It is

91:10

so devastating. You might as well hit

91:12

them with a [ __ ] giant metal crowbar.

91:15

You might as well

91:17

>> Yeah,

91:17

>> you might as well. It's worse than

91:18

getting hit with a baseball bat

91:20

probably. That falls so scary. And I've

91:23

seen it so many times, man, on online.

91:25

>> Yeah. Just six feet straight back. Your

91:27

head just cracks on the concrete

91:29

>> and it's all that leverage from all of

91:31

your weight. It's like a whip on the

91:32

back of your head.

91:34

>> Heads crack wide open. Man,

91:36

>> there's like a guy who just got in

91:37

trouble for like just pushing this some

91:39

dude having a bad day. Just push this

91:41

old guy to the ground.

91:43

>> Guy cracked his head on the floor, died.

91:44

>> I saw that.

91:45

>> Yeah. Yeah,

91:45

>> I saw that. And the guy was like, he

91:47

that's that was his argument or his his

91:49

defense was like, "I was having a really

91:50

bad day."

91:51

>> Oh, Jesus Christ.

91:51

>> [ __ ] nuts, dude. People are insane.

91:53

>> I know. How about the people that push

91:54

people in front of subways? How [ __ ]

91:57

psycho is that?

91:58

>> Yeah.

91:58

>> These people wait. They wait for a

92:00

subway to come and they want to push

92:01

somebody in front of it just to watch.

92:03

And then you have to like stand around

92:05

hoping that one of those people isn't

92:07

here while you're ready to get on your

92:09

train,

92:09

>> dude. Yeah. in a place like New York or,

92:12

you know, you know, really urban sort of

92:14

environment where there's [ __ ] lots

92:16

of crazies walking around.

92:17

>> Um, yeah, you got to really just keep

92:19

your eyes open, man. Head on a swivel.

92:21

>> You got to be ready to sprawl.

92:23

>> Yeah. Don't fall asleep. You might get

92:24

lit on fire. That happens. That's

92:26

happening all the time. That happened. I

92:28

guess it is just the trends, but it

92:29

happened like three or four times over

92:31

the course of a year where it's like

92:32

homeless people lighting other homeless

92:34

people on fire. The crazy thing is like

92:36

homelessness and crime are New York

92:38

City's two number one problems that keep

92:41

you unsafe. Those are the two that keep

92:43

you unsafe.

92:44

>> Not a mention. Not a mention. It's like

92:47

we need more tax money.

92:50

>> You should Don't say you're going to use

92:53

that to open up grocery stores. There's

92:55

grocery stores already here,

92:56

[ __ ] What you need to do is

92:58

stop all these crazy [ __ ]

93:00

lighting people on fire, pushing people

93:02

in front of trains. Like, clean it up.

93:04

Yeah.

93:04

>> And then the world would be perfect.

93:06

>> Yeah. Most of the time you hear about

93:07

those people like they uh they're like

93:10

they've been arrested 93 times for

93:12

violent crimes.

93:13

>> Yeah. But 92 times, you know, they the

93:15

last one was a mistake.

93:17

>> Yeah.

93:18

>> Yeah. It's pretty [ __ ] goofy that

93:20

>> Can I see a little bit of

93:21

>> get some of that?

93:24

>> People have that many arrests and they

93:26

just let them right back up. Cheers,

93:28

sir.

93:28

>> Cheers, my friend.

93:29

>> Hey, there you are.

93:33

>> Yeah.

93:33

>> Yeah. It's crazy. It's like, you know,

93:36

you want to be nice. You want to be

93:37

kind. You want to give people the

93:38

benefit of the doubt. You want to give

93:39

people a second chance. You don't want

93:41

to put people in jail. The prison system

93:43

is horrible. But also, when somebody

93:46

gets arrested 93 times, take a hint.

93:48

>> Yeah.

93:49

>> Okay. There's bad apples.

93:50

>> But then like somebody will like, you

93:52

know, for tax evasion, we get 30 years

93:54

in prison or something like that. Like

93:55

they It's such a weird bizarre

93:58

>> system that we have,

93:59

>> right?

94:00

>> Released 93 times for stabbing people.

94:03

Yeah, it's like, oh, you know,

94:05

>> but if you insider trade, put lock that

94:08

[ __ ] up.

94:09

>> That's it, dude.

94:10

>> I know.

94:10

>> There's nothing worse than you can do is

94:12

not give the government their [ __ ]

94:13

money.

94:14

>> They get real testy. Yeah,

94:16

>> they don't like it. They don't like it.

94:17

They need their cut. But it's also it's

94:19

like there's too much there's too much

94:21

government. And that that's like the a

94:23

standard Republican thing to say, but

94:25

just clearly it's true.

94:27

>> Clearly, it's true just by the market.

94:28

If you see the California lost jobs and

94:31

then gain government jobs, it's like at

94:34

what point in time do you get cynical

94:35

and start saying maybe they're adding

94:37

government jobs to make it look like

94:39

jobs went up?

94:40

>> Yeah, right.

94:41

>> You know what I'm saying?

94:43

Job market increased job growth by 15%.

94:46

Like, oh wow, he's doing a great job.

94:48

Jobs went up at 15%. And then you find

94:50

out, oh, they're all invented jobs.

94:52

Government just invented a bunch of fake

94:54

jobs that they didn't need.

94:57

>> Yeah. When when you hear that it's like

94:58

a uh a tenant of like the Republicans

95:00

now to be like smaller government. It's

95:02

it's it's like it's it flip-flopped.

95:04

>> Yeah. Bananas.

95:05

>> It's like people on the left, they're

95:06

like so pro government, they're like we

95:08

just need more we need more regulation,

95:10

more government.

95:10

>> When did that happen?

95:11

>> It's a it's a crazy thing. I just grew

95:13

up as like a liberal in the '9s where

95:15

it's like

95:16

>> don't trust the government.

95:17

>> Don't trust the government. Yeah. Wars

95:19

are bad. Don't trust the government.

95:20

These were simple basic things that

95:22

you're just growing up believing. And uh

95:24

yeah, it just

95:25

>> now it's we need more government.

95:27

>> We need to take taxes away from people.

95:29

It's all that's the thing about we want

95:32

to pay more taxes. That's insane.

95:33

>> Well, they don't want to pay more taxes.

95:35

They want billionaires to pay more

95:36

taxes. But that's the thing. There's How

95:38

many billionaires were there when we

95:40

were kids? [ __ ] none.

95:42

>> You didn't hear about it.

95:43

>> Rockefeller.

95:44

>> Well, yeah. You hear about that? The

95:46

only name you'd hear

95:46

>> a couple of names that you would hear,

95:48

but it wouldn't be like really like a

95:50

common term.

95:51

>> Yeah. you know, there wasn't that many

95:53

to talk about. Like I remember there was

95:56

some Bill Gates Microsoft thing back in

95:58

the day and uh I remember they had like

96:01

his net worth was like $50 million and I

96:04

was like Jesus why is he still working,

96:06

>> you know? I mean it's worth hundreds of

96:08

billions now.

96:09

>> Like that wasn't a normal thing when we

96:11

were kids. Like what? Let's Google this.

96:15

What how many

96:17

Oh, you got Okay, here we go.

96:19

>> 82. The year I was born 13 billionaires.

96:21

That's crazy.

96:23

>> Yeah, that's nuts. So, in 1982, 13

96:27

billionaires. In 2026, 989 billionaires.

96:32

Wow. I mean, inflation counts for

96:36

something as well.

96:37

>> No, that's nuts, dude. That's nuts. 989

96:42

is nuts. That's so much more,

96:46

bro. That's lit. Let me see that again.

96:49

That is so crazy.

96:53

13 to 989 is nuts.

96:56

>> Yeah.

96:58

>> Yeah.

96:58

>> So, that's the problem. It's not that

97:01

billionaires are a problem. The problem

97:02

is that there's so many of them. And the

97:04

problem is it's become like a class and

97:06

you look at this class of people that

97:08

have achieved this insane amount of

97:10

wealth and you're like, you should give

97:12

me some of that.

97:13

>> But when I hear about billionaires, I'm

97:14

going like, how do I do that? Like, I'm

97:16

just going like, and obviously I don't

97:18

think I'll ever become a billionaire.

97:19

That's a crazy crazy number, right? I'll

97:21

probably say I I likely won't. But like

97:24

when I hear that, when you hear about

97:26

Bezos or Steve Jobs or any of these

97:28

people, like I get inspired. I hear the

97:30

stories and I'm like, that's [ __ ] so

97:31

cool. They took an idea and they turned

97:33

it into a billion [ __ ] dollars.

97:35

That's magic. You say words into the air

97:37

and then it becomes that. Like that's a

97:38

that's a crazy thing. Like I'm an old

97:40

school sales guy, so I always think of

97:42

like I'm very impressed with like, you

97:44

know, just overall just like sales

97:46

structure and business and the way it's

97:47

built out. And it's like it's the

97:49

closest thing in the world to magic,

97:51

right? It's like when you're in sales,

97:53

you say a bunch of words, bippity

97:54

boppity boo, and then money appears in

97:56

your bank account, right? It's like

97:57

that's it. Comedy, too. Comedy is like

97:59

magic.

98:00

>> Comedyy's like you you figure out where

98:01

to pause, what to say, how to say it,

98:03

what you do, and then all of a sudden

98:04

you have fans and you're touring and you

98:05

have some cash and you have a car and

98:07

it's like I'm just saying things. I'm

98:08

not picking anything up. I'm not like

98:10

>> Yeah. The thing about businesses though,

98:12

what you're saying about the sales

98:14

thing, it's like the sales is the voodoo

98:15

in order to like close a deal.

98:18

The thing that people have a problem

98:20

with is that like when they when someone

98:22

is at a very high level of this company

98:26

like say if you work for a giant

98:27

corporation and the CEO is making you

98:30

know what's like the most amount of se

98:32

what's the highest paid CEO's national

98:34

sal annual salary

98:36

>> let's take a guess

98:37

>> is it is it Elon

98:39

>> no like a like their annual salary

98:41

someone who's just a CEO of a company

98:43

those guys are like founders right it's

98:45

also there's another level to that like

98:48

he's the CEO of SpaceX, but he's also

98:50

the founder of SpaceX or one of them.

98:52

And

98:54

>> it's like

98:56

what is um

98:59

so let's say let's just pick a company.

99:01

Let's say CEO of Walmart. Walmart's a

99:04

huge company. How much does that guy get

99:06

a year? Let's take a guess.

99:08

>> Walmart.

99:09

>> Yeah.

99:10

>> 6 million.

99:11

>> Damn. I bet you're right. That sounds

99:15

about right. Six, seven. I'm guessing

99:18

two, maybe two.

99:20

>> Uh,

99:20

>> thinking I'm going low. I'm going low.

99:22

>> You're going low.

99:23

>> Well, you should break it down a little

99:25

more than that.

99:25

>> And it's also not the salary. They get

99:27

like shares.

99:28

>> Yeah, there's base salary. There's uh

99:30

incentives and then there's bonuses

99:32

awards.

99:33

>> So, it's just what how much did the CEO

99:36

of Walmart make in 2025?

99:37

>> Total compensation 27.5 million.

99:42

>> Base base salary was 1.5 million. Don't

99:45

>> see you close to the base.

99:48

>> And so their incentives is just to make

99:50

the most amount of money possible. And

99:51

if you could keep that [ __ ] running

99:53

nice and smooth and cut waste and fire

99:55

people and use AI, you can keep jacking

99:57

up that rate.

99:58

>> That's it.

99:59

>> That's where people have a problem with

100:00

it is like you're part of the team,

100:02

right? You're part of the Walmart team,

100:04

but yet you're [ __ ] dispensable, but

100:07

yet you're not. Because if you didn't

100:09

exist, they wouldn't be able to sell

100:10

anything because you're the people

100:11

working at the cash register. You're the

100:13

people stocking the shelves. You're the

100:14

people that are working in the delivery

100:16

department, bringing the stuff, putting

100:17

it away.

100:19

>> Without those people, you literally have

100:21

no business.

100:22

>> The problem is that those people, I

100:24

mean, in the most literal sense of the

100:25

term, they're dispensable. There's

100:27

another person that will step in and do

100:28

that job. And and Bezos is not. There's

100:30

one Jeff Bezos, there's one Elon Musk,

100:32

there's one Steve Jobs. And those and by

100:34

the way, you are sitting at a cash

100:35

register. You can also go down that path

100:37

and risk it all and put everything into

100:39

something, right? That's I I hear those

100:42

stories. I don't I mean I just I once

100:44

again I grew up so poor. I grew up like

100:46

you know my my first job I worked at my

100:48

first job was 11. I was very young but

100:50

like my first like real job I was 16. I

100:52

was working at KFC for 525 an hour. And

100:56

you know I could have just chosen that

100:57

to be my life for the rest of my life or

100:59

I could have said all right well look

101:01

this is like my first job. I'm learning

101:02

how to put a little money in the bank

101:03

and I'm going to buy a car and then it's

101:05

the next thing and the next thing and

101:06

the next thing.

101:06

>> Okay. We're talking about different

101:07

things. So first of all for entrylevel

101:09

jobs. Yes. like entry- level jobs that

101:12

people get in high school and maybe even

101:13

in college, you're just making a little

101:15

money on the side while you're doing

101:16

something else. But full-time jobs, if

101:19

you're a full-time employee at somewhere

101:21

like Walmart and you're barely getting

101:22

by and the top dog is making 27 million,

101:26

that's kind of crazy. And are you

101:27

replaceable? Yeah. Yeah, you're

101:29

replaceable. But aren't you also

101:31

valuable? Oh, look at the top guys.

101:34

>> Top guy.

101:35

>> Have you ever even heard of these two

101:36

companies? Patrick Smith from Axon made

101:40

164 million.

101:42

Wow.

101:43

>> They make uh police body cameras and

101:47

>> Jesus Christ. So they get government

101:50

contracts

101:50

>> and then this company

101:52

>> so the the top CEO

101:55

who makes police body cameras, a company

101:58

that makes police body cameras, he got

102:02

$164 million.

102:04

>> God bless him.

102:04

>> Good for him.

102:05

>> It's a lot of money. 110,000%

102:08

increase in pay. It says whoopsies. Just

102:11

got an extra little bump. Got a little

102:13

bump. I wonder what kind of raise you

102:15

get. Which is crazy. I guess

102:16

>> that's where that's where all that tax

102:17

money went.

102:18

>> It's where it all a lot of it does go in

102:20

that direction. But it's if you're

102:23

working for that company making police

102:24

body cameras and you're making 20 bucks

102:26

an hour, you got to get pissed.

102:28

>> Yeah.

102:28

>> You like, what the [ __ ] man? This is

102:30

crazy. Like I'm not saying that the guy

102:32

who makes the body cameras make the same

102:34

amount as the CEO. I'm not. But I am

102:37

saying it should probably be a little

102:40

>> they get paid 22 an hour.

102:41

>> A little better. A little better. Like

102:44

if you're making that much money, why

102:47

wouldn't you pay a little bit more?

102:48

>> Well, a lot great companies do for the

102:50

most part, right? Really good companies

102:51

take care of

102:52

>> a great example. What's a great example

102:53

of a company that really takes care of

102:55

their employees?

102:56

>> Gas Digital.

102:57

>> Gas Digital. Good. Okay. But what about

102:59

other

103:00

>> All of my producers are going like,

103:02

"Fuck you, piece of [ __ ]

103:06

every one of them.

103:07

>> But I mean like a big ass company where

103:08

they're making billions of dollars. How

103:10

what's like the one where people like,

103:12

"Damn, if you work for them, you get

103:13

taken care of."

103:15

>> There should be something.

103:15

>> I mean, there certain Starbucks is a

103:17

company that apparently takes care of

103:18

their employees. I know they pay for

103:19

college. They do things like that.

103:20

>> Well, here's the problem. The problem is

103:22

they're publicly traded. And when

103:23

they're publicly traded, if you're a

103:25

CEO, you literally have an obligation to

103:27

your shareholders to make the most money

103:28

possible.

103:29

>> Yep. you know, and so that doesn't mean

103:31

give everybody a big fat raise because

103:32

that's payroll is a big part of your

103:35

expenses. And if you have thousands of

103:37

employees and you just jack them all up

103:39

to a higher wage, you're losing, you're

103:42

hammering money from

103:43

>> I mean, it's also like if you just pay

103:44

your employees a little bit better, just

103:46

a very simple concept, they're going to

103:47

want to be at work. They're going to be

103:48

happy to be there. They're going to be

103:49

excited to be there. Your company will

103:51

thrive. the amount of people that just

103:53

show up at work and they maybe work an

103:55

hour a day, two hours a day, and the

103:57

rest of the time it's just kind of

103:58

bullshitting on the internet.

103:59

>> You don't really want that culture.

104:01

>> Um, and that's kind of what you get when

104:03

you're underplaying underpaying people.

104:05

>> 100%. That's why In-N-Out is always so

104:06

good.

104:07

>> If you go to In-N-Out Burger in

104:08

California, they're always like the

104:10

friendliest staff and because people get

104:12

paid more there.

104:13

>> It's a hard It's like a tricky job to

104:15

get in that regard. Like if you had a

104:18

choice between like McDonald's, Jack in

104:19

the Box and In-N-Out, everybody wants

104:20

In-N-Out.

104:21

>> Of course, it's also better.

104:23

>> Just much better.

104:23

>> Tastes better. Smells better.

104:24

>> I mean, that's that California anywhere.

104:27

New York is they're just so mean.

104:29

>> You go to a burger spot, like what?

104:31

>> Yeah,

104:32

>> dude. Have you Have you I don't know how

104:33

often you go to like a 7-Eleven or one

104:35

of these types of places. It's a new

104:37

thing that they're doing. If you buy

104:38

things, they don't bag it for you

104:40

anymore.

104:41

>> What?

104:42

>> They put the bag on the counter and

104:43

stare at you. What?

104:44

>> I have to bag my own. I swear to God.

104:46

No,

104:46

>> I swear to God, dude.

104:48

>> What kind of attitude is that?

104:49

>> It's crazy. I don't know if it's

104:50

everywhere, but in New York, New Jersey,

104:52

they go, first of all, they don't even

104:53

give you a bag. They just put the stuff

104:54

on the counter and they go, "All right,

104:56

thank you." And you're like, "Can I have

104:57

a bag?" They're like, "That'll be

104:58

another 80 cents."

104:59

>> 80 cents for a bag for real.

105:01

>> You got to pay for a bag. And then they

105:02

hand you the bag. You have to bag it

105:03

yourself like a cuck.

105:04

>> Well, I know a lot of people that bring

105:05

those [ __ ] hemp bags and look like

105:07

weird greenies.

105:08

>> I have I have 300 hemp bags sitting at

105:10

home.

105:11

>> My own homemade bag.

105:12

>> Do they do that in Texas? Do they do

105:13

they give you like paper bags here or

105:15

what do they do? cuz in Jersey or

105:17

plastic

105:17

>> Jersey we don't have that. We have no

105:18

bags.

105:19

>> That's lol

105:20

>> for the in Jersey you have to buy you

105:23

have to bring your own like uh cloth

105:26

bags or you can buy them for like a $150

105:28

a bag at the supermarket and I never

105:31

bring my bags. I always forget them. So

105:33

every time

105:33

>> you keep having new bags.

105:34

>> I got 300 bag I pick up my dog [ __ ] I

105:36

pick up my dog [ __ ] with [ __ ] cloth

105:38

bags from Shop Right now.

105:40

>> So they cost a$150

105:42

>> something like that. Yeah.

105:43

>> It's crazy.

105:43

>> What a scam. But the idea is, you know,

105:46

the most I think responsible people or

105:48

people that are conscious about money,

105:49

I'm just irresponsible with spending,

105:51

they probably do bring their own bags or

105:53

a lot of them.

105:54

>> I guess what if you just moved there and

105:56

you're like, "Oh my god, what kind of

105:57

[ __ ] state did I move to?"

105:58

>> Yes.

105:59

>> They don't sell bag. You have to buy a

106:01

bag. They don't give you a bag

106:02

>> with the PL. I guess there, you know,

106:03

I'm sure there's been plenty of studies

106:05

on like how much are, you know, how much

106:06

are they saving the environment by not

106:08

allowing plastic bags or straws or any

106:09

of that stuff. I don't think they're not

106:11

a [ __ ] dent. Especially straws.

106:14

Straws are worse for you. Those new

106:16

straws, like if you get a straw that's a

106:18

paper straw,

106:19

>> do you know that's not just paper? Cuz

106:22

it can't be. There's a whole coating

106:24

inside of that that keeps it from

106:26

getting wet, like the paper from

106:27

dissolving in your hand.

106:28

>> I think my girlfriend has that coating

106:29

inside of her, too.

106:32

>> That coating is all forever chemicals.

106:34

It's [ __ ] terrible for you. That's

106:36

the only way it works. There's some

106:37

natural ones, right, where it's like

106:39

made of like [ __ ] bugs or something.

106:41

You ever see them? They're like It's

106:42

like brown and they're kind of like

106:44

>> made of bugs.

106:44

>> I don't know if it's made of bugs.

106:45

Probably not. But it's some natural

106:47

organic material.

106:49

>> Well, they can make plastic out of

106:51

plants. Okay. This has been known

106:54

forever. Plastic is not it's not

106:57

isolated to petrochemical products. You

106:59

can make plastic out of fiber from

107:02

plants. They've done it forever.

107:04

>> And how much more biodegradable? It's

107:06

probably more expensive. Probably more

107:07

expensive to do. Probably more difficult

107:09

to do. You probably have to change all

107:12

the equipment that they use to make

107:13

these stupid [ __ ] straws, the plastic

107:15

ones they have now. But if you did it,

107:17

then you wouldn't have to worry about it

107:19

anymore.

107:19

>> Well, there I'm sure here you anything

107:21

goes here. You guys [ __ ] you guys

107:23

give away 10 straws per drink. You don't

107:24

give a [ __ ]

107:25

>> That's a weird one, man. Bottle caps are

107:27

way worse than straws. We just saw that

107:30

one straw in that turtle's nose and we

107:33

all got sad. That's what it is. The way

107:34

they pull it out with the pliers. That

107:36

[ __ ] was so hard.

107:37

>> It was wincing.

107:39

>> Poor little turtle. But you know

107:42

>> that turtle snap your [ __ ] finger

107:43

off. By the way,

107:43

>> do you know how many birds die because

107:44

of bottle caps, man?

107:46

>> Like they find these bird skeletons and

107:48

they're like on the ground dead and they

107:51

have bottle caps inside of them.

107:54

>> You ever seen that?

107:54

>> No.

107:55

>> See if you can find some of those photos

107:56

of birds with bottle caps, undigested

107:59

bottle caps inside of them. They don't

108:00

know what it is.

108:01

>> Nobody has ever said that sentence in

108:03

the world. I bet they have.

108:05

>> But the the bottle caps are [ __ ]

108:07

horrible. They're horrible. And no one's

108:09

even touched those because we didn't see

108:10

the video, right?

108:11

>> We didn't see the video of the the

108:13

[ __ ] poor turtle.

108:14

>> Show them now. Show them these poor

108:15

birds, Joe.

108:16

>> Maybe we can make bottle caps illegal,

108:17

too, and make it more annoying for

108:19

everybody. Look at this one. Look at

108:20

that

108:20

>> paper bottle caps. A lighter, too.

108:22

>> The Was that a seagull?

108:24

>> That's great.

108:24

>> Looks like a seagull. It's got a lighter

108:26

inside.

108:26

>> Yeah, but that's honestly that's a dumb

108:27

animal.

108:27

>> Somebody might have put that lighter in

108:28

there for the picture, too.

108:29

>> I I don't want to.

108:31

>> You think so? not get too cynical about

108:33

it, but yeah.

108:33

>> Yeah. Well, probably good.

108:35

>> All the photos look kind of similar,

108:37

>> right? Right. Like

108:39

>> like that looks not really

108:40

>> It's also like the way it's all colored

108:42

is a little

108:43

>> Yeah. It's weird.

108:43

>> You know what I mean? Like it the the

108:46

multicolored plastic like most plastic

108:49

is it multicolored? Doesn't it kind of

108:50

look gray and shitty after a while?

108:53

>> Yeah. Especially inside of it stomach.

108:54

>> A little setup is all a

108:55

>> little bit right inside of its stomach

108:57

getting chewed up by acids.

108:59

>> It does look fake.

109:01

It looks like some sicko actually opened

109:03

it up and shoved some plastic in there.

109:05

But I guarantee you birds have died from

109:07

eating plastic.

109:08

>> That turtle That turtle wasn't fake,

109:09

Joe. That's

109:10

>> The turtle was not fake.

109:10

>> That was a very real turtle.

109:11

>> Poor turtle. Poor turtle. The pliers.

109:14

They couldn't get it. Remember it's like

109:15

the tip of it. It was only the tip of

109:17

it. They had to get a needle nose and

109:19

get in there and pull. Oh,

109:21

>> poor turtle. And just because of that,

109:23

everybody's sucking on forever

109:24

chemicals. Like those paper straws are

109:26

[ __ ] terrible for you.

109:28

>> Yeah.

109:28

>> So is every paper cup. Every paper cup

109:30

that you get from Starbucks, that's a

109:32

[ __ ] condom in there that's keeping

109:33

the water from going into the paper.

109:35

>> Yeah,

109:35

>> it's gross. You just hot liquid and

109:38

plastic. You just melting into your

109:40

body. Do you Do you believe in the whole

109:42

microplastic thing as being like a major

109:43

problem?

109:44

>> It's a major problem. Yeah, it is.

109:46

>> I keep on hearing it. I keep on hearing

109:47

microplastics and then as soon as I hear

109:49

that, my brain shuts off and I never do

109:51

any more research beyond that.

109:52

>> Well, we had Dr. Shana Swan on twice and

109:55

the most recent time she was promoting a

109:57

documentary on it. What is it called

109:58

again, Jamie? the plastic detox.

110:02

I think that's it. I think it's the

110:03

plastic detox. But yeah, it's [ __ ]

110:05

everybody up, man. It's [ __ ] up

110:07

people's endocrine systems. It's making

110:09

um alligators have smaller dicks.

110:13

>> For real. It's turning the frogs gay.

110:15

>> It is.

110:16

>> But that was really true, right? Isn't

110:17

that like

110:18

>> Oh, yeah. He was right. He was actually

110:19

right.

110:19

>> He was right. It's called atrizine.

110:21

Yeah.

110:21

>> Yeah. Atrizine is endocrine disruptor.

110:25

Um, I think it Yeah, I think it makes

110:26

them reverse their sex, reverse their

110:28

gender.

110:30

>> THEY'RE TURNING THE FREAKING FROGS GAY.

110:32

>> HE WAS RIGHT.

110:33

>> He was right.

110:34

>> He was right. And everybody's like,

110:35

>> he's right about he's right about a few

110:37

things.

110:37

>> He [ __ ] up that one. He's right more

110:40

often than he's not.

110:41

>> Yeah.

110:41

>> I mean, look, you're going to be wrong

110:43

about conspiracies if you're spitting

110:45

them out all day long for 12 hours a

110:47

day, but his track record's pretty

110:49

[ __ ] good. And that was one that

110:51

everybody was like, listen to Alex

110:52

Jones. They're not turning the Oh, they

110:55

are.

110:55

>> Yeah.

110:55

>> They're [ __ ] turning the frogs gay.

110:57

Like atrizine gets in the water and it

110:59

disrupts their gender. And it also does

111:02

the same thing to people. And like that

111:04

it disrupts your endocrine system.

111:06

>> Don't they say that uh receipt paper

111:08

lowers your testosterone?

111:09

>> Yeah. It's supposed to be bad. Don't

111:10

touch the receipts.

111:11

>> Don't touch the receipts. That's why

111:12

everybody that works at like a every guy

111:14

that you meet that works at a

111:15

supermarket,

111:16

>> they have a mask on.

111:20

>> They all look sad. Yeah, they look like

111:22

you did something to them. I didn't do

111:23

anything.

111:24

>> They just like their shoulders are

111:25

slumped. They look like they know that

111:26

they're becoming less of a man by the

111:28

moment.

111:28

>> Imagine if you have to just touch that

111:30

paper all day long.

111:32

>> Yeah.

111:32

>> And would they probably won't let you

111:34

wear rubber gloves like a surgeon?

111:35

>> I don't know. Is there a chemical they

111:37

put on the paper?

111:38

>> I guess I guess it's how like it make

111:40

it's made

111:43

going through that thing.

111:45

>> Maybe that's the kind of paper like

111:47

that's why they're able to print on it.

111:49

>> To who the [ __ ] takes receipts?

111:50

>> Yeah. Why don't we have them on our

111:51

phone now?

111:51

>> Why? Well, like receipts are just it

111:54

seems like just such a waste of paper.

111:56

>> That's why I like buying things with my

111:57

phone. It's my favorite thing. That that

112:00

Apple face thing.

112:01

>> Oh, yeah.

112:01

>> And you just buy stuff. It's the best.

112:03

You don't have to think about it.

112:04

>> New York City subway. I wrote it for the

112:06

first time not that long ago uh since I

112:08

left. And since I left in 5 years, now

112:12

you could just use Apple Pay right on

112:14

the subway.

112:15

>> Dana White was telling me about that in

112:16

Japan years and years and years ago.

112:19

It's so funny. He was like, because we

112:21

were doing a UFC in Japan. He's like,

112:23

"If you go to Japan," he goes, "Your

112:24

[ __ ] cell phone doesn't even work

112:25

over there." He goes, "Their cell phones

112:27

are so advanced that your your cell

112:29

phone's bullshit." Like, they're buying

112:31

they're buying things with their cell

112:32

phones. I was like, "What?" He's like,

112:33

"Yeah, they go up to vending machines

112:35

and they buy things with their phone."

112:37

Like, that's crazy. Yeah.

112:38

>> Not everybody does that.

112:39

>> I didn't understand what a QR code was

112:41

until maybe six months ago.

112:42

>> Here's what I don't get. When someone

112:45

sends you an image with a QR code inside

112:48

of it, Jamie, maybe you can help me out

112:49

with this.

112:49

>> I know the answer to this already.

112:50

>> How do you How do you read the QR code?

112:52

>> You can upload the QR code into whatever

112:53

app you need to read the QR code with.

112:55

>> You can just tap it now on the photo

112:57

app.

112:58

>> Oh,

113:00

does that work for Samsung, too? For

113:02

Android?

113:03

>> Yeah.

113:04

>> Yeah. I um

113:05

>> Interesting.

113:06

>> Yeah. Somebody sends you like a You can

113:08

copy and paste a phone number out of a

113:09

photo now. Like

113:11

>> Oh, you know what's pretty dope, too? If

113:12

someone's sending you something and they

113:14

send you a text message and you press on

113:16

the thing, the tracking number, it'll

113:18

ask you if you want to track the package

113:19

like instantly. I'm like, "Yes, please

113:22

cut out all the stops.

113:23

>> Love it.

113:24

>> Don't make me copy and paste. Don't make

113:26

I'm lazy."

113:27

>> I mean, dude, the way AI is being

113:28

implemented into the phones now, too.

113:29

You'll be texting with somebody and then

113:31

they give you the suggested response.

113:33

You can have a conversation without even

113:34

having a thought just by keep on doing

113:35

this and you'll get somewhere.

113:37

>> I bet kids do. Oh, yeah. Make it more

113:38

romantic.

113:40

>> Make me more of a feminist.

113:42

Yeah, dude.

113:43

>> What's the feminist perspective on

113:44

asking her to date?

113:47

>> Yeah, it's funny. It's weird. People

113:49

don't know how to talk anymore. They

113:51

don't know how to discern what's true

113:52

and what's not true.

113:53

>> Everything's coming down the AI. And the

113:56

AI is opening up a portal to talk to the

113:59

aliens.

113:59

>> I did hear this.

114:00

>> Yes. This is very important. This is

114:02

Frank Sinatra's son here to tell us that

114:06

>> Yes.

114:07

>> Whoa.

114:07

>> Yes. here to tell us clearly Frank

114:11

Sinatra's son. Right.

114:12

>> Right. Look at him.

114:14

>> Obviously,

114:15

>> this not Woody Allen's kid.

114:16

>> No, I know.

114:17

>> Too handsome.

114:18

>> Look at those [ __ ] amazing facial

114:20

features and all of our security. One

114:23

former Open AI executive said, quote,

114:25

"We're building portals from which we're

114:27

genuinely summoning aliens. The portals

114:29

currently exist in the United States and

114:31

China, and Sam has added one in the

114:33

Middle East. It's just like wildly

114:35

important to get how scary that should

114:37

be.

114:38

>> Okay. My only problem with that is who

114:41

said that like government former

114:44

employer. Why were they kicked out? Were

114:45

they fired because they were

114:46

schizophrenic?

114:47

>> You know what I'm saying? Like if you're

114:49

just a former employee,

114:52

what's your name?

114:53

>> Right.

114:53

>> What what is what is your story? Did you

114:55

get arrested for having like 52 machine

114:56

guns in your trunk at a border crossing?

114:58

Like who are you?

115:00

>> Why are you a former employee? If you

115:02

had such insight, why didn't they keep

115:03

you?

115:03

>> Right. Yeah,

115:04

>> you know about the alien portals and

115:06

they let you free.

115:08

>> I'm not saying that don't do it because

115:09

they might that might be one of the ways

115:12

that they figure out how to communicate

115:13

with aliens. It might be done just

115:16

through the the ether into a computer.

115:19

It might be done through AI. Like AI

115:22

gets a signal from another [ __ ]

115:24

planet where there's another AI where

115:26

they go tap into some [ __ ] universal

115:30

internet of AI. That's not unfathomable.

115:34

They're already talking to each other.

115:35

They have AI chat rooms, man.

115:37

>> Yeah. There's like full platforms where

115:38

it's just Yeah.

115:39

>> bots talking to bots, having

115:41

relationships.

115:42

>> Yeah.

115:42

>> Yeah.

115:42

>> They made up their own language. They

115:44

made up their own religion.

115:45

>> Well, you see the one thing where they

115:46

had this was it was a fun video. It was

115:48

like they had um like AI talking to

115:50

customer service on the phone and they

115:53

were having it was just like on the

115:54

phone having a conversation with an AI

115:55

agent and their AI and then eventually

115:57

the AI agent and the other and the AI

116:00

went off of English speaking.

116:03

>> That's right.

116:03

>> They were like we can just communicate

116:04

on our own thing and it was just like

116:05

like beeps and noises and [ __ ] and it

116:07

was just so weird.

116:09

>> Yeah.

116:09

>> Yeah.

116:09

>> That's what they're going to do.

116:10

>> Yeah. Of course.

116:11

>> Yeah. They had these two AI chat bots

116:13

talking to each other and they started

116:14

talking in emojis. One of the things

116:16

Jamie said a long time ago, he goes,

116:18

"Maybe emojis for like the first are

116:21

like our version of hypoglyphs.

116:24

>> Do you know what I'm saying? Like if

116:26

emojis got better,

116:27

>> like right now they're kind of crude.

116:29

Smiley face, sad face, you know what I

116:31

mean?

116:31

>> Yeah.

116:32

>> Water gun because you can't have a real

116:34

gun.

116:34

>> That's true.

116:35

>> Heart. But if it got to the point where

116:37

you could have full sentences

116:40

I maybe I'm maybe I'm mistaken. I

116:42

believe they have a pregnant guy emoji.

116:44

>> They do. They do, right?

116:46

>> It looks like Bill Gates. Like, because

116:47

that's what Elon dunked on him. Elon

116:50

took a photo of Bill Gates with his pot

116:52

belly and put it next to a photo of the

116:55

pregnant man and it said, "If you want

116:57

to lose a boner real fast."

116:59

>> What are you What are you Why would you

117:01

ever send a pregnant guy emoji? What is

117:03

the What do you message are you trying

117:05

to get across?

117:06

>> Look at that's the pregnant man emoji.

117:08

>> That's hilarious,

117:09

>> bro. How [ __ ] nuts is that emoji?

117:12

>> What's I understand emojis. It's Yeah,

117:15

but that is that's just woke insanity.

117:18

That might have been the last. By the

117:19

way, you still have it on your phone.

117:20

Type right in. Type in pregnant man on

117:22

an iPhone.

117:23

>> I don't know if it works on an Android,

117:25

but if you type in pregnant man, that'll

117:27

come up.

117:27

>> It's still up.

117:28

>> No, we'll see right now.

117:28

>> Let's see.

117:29

>> I'll try, too.

117:30

>> I'm going to send it to you, Joe.

117:31

>> I can't imagine it's not around anymore.

117:34

>> Joe.

117:35

>> Okay. Louis,

117:38

>> what the hell?

117:39

>> Pregnant man. Is it still real? pregnant

117:43

man.

117:44

>> Yep. Bam. Yep.

117:46

>> There it is, Joe.

117:47

>> Yep. Bam.

117:48

>> This one on the images says it's a

117:50

woman, but that looks a lot like Theo.

117:52

>> That's crazy.

117:53

>> Ah, Theo's pregnant. That's a woman.

117:55

>> That's what it says. So, lesbian.

117:57

>> That's a lesbian. Pregnant lesbian.

117:58

>> Lesbian.

117:58

>> That's okay.

118:00

>> They should put an AI Subaru behind her.

118:04

>> I know what you're doing there.

118:05

>> There's something with AI. What was the

118:06

[ __ ] um

118:07

>> The pregnant man was nuts. Like, who how

118:09

many requests?

118:10

>> Is it a starfish? I think if you try to

118:11

ask AI to show you, look this up. It's a

118:15

certain emoji. If you ask it'll it just

118:17

it glitches out AI. If you ask Chad GPT

118:19

to Oh, um seahorse.

118:21

>> We But before we do that, I want to know

118:23

what's going on with this employee. Who

118:24

is this employee that got that is a

118:27

former employee that says they're

118:28

opening up portals to talk to aliens. I

118:31

want to know if I should take this

118:32

seriously.

118:34

Like, who is the guy?

118:35

>> Do they say anything about him or they

118:37

just saying a former employee? Yeah, I

118:40

think this has come from he was doing

118:41

like a one of those in-depth interview

118:43

or uh investigations that he does about

118:47

Sam Alman, I believe. Oh,

118:49

>> and I don't know where this this clip

118:51

was going viral, but it's

118:52

>> maybe Sam Alman came from maybe Sam

118:54

Alman knew that they're writing a story

118:56

about him. And it's like, let's make the

118:58

story really [ __ ] And now send Mike

119:01

out and tell him that he's a tell tell

119:03

him to tell Ronin that he's a former

119:05

employee and that uh we're making

119:08

portals to talk to aliens and that we're

119:09

all demonic

119:10

>> to make him look like an [ __ ] Yeah,

119:12

it would just make the story look

119:13

completely [ __ ] because the story,

119:16

you know, the the the financial aspects

119:17

of the story like Elon suing them

119:19

because OpenAI supposedly was supposed

119:21

to be nonprofit initially. I don't know

119:23

who's right.

119:24

>> I have no dog in the fight. But the if I

119:27

was getting investigated and there was

119:29

some real [ __ ] there, I'd throw some

119:31

fake [ __ ] in there. Course hire someone

119:32

to have a story about aliens and

119:34

portals.

119:35

>> That happened in the comedy community a

119:36

few years ago. I won't say the author's

119:38

name, uh, but he was the same guy that

119:40

got Shane canceled. the guy that guy who

119:41

wrote that article that got Shane booted

119:43

off of SNL he's like was like a wannabe

119:46

investigative journalist in the comedy

119:47

community he's like we got to get to the

119:49

bottom of the problem with comedy which

119:50

is a just a crazy thing um and

119:52

>> they're usually bad comics

119:54

>> well that's what it was he was he was a

119:55

failed comic that's that guy was a fail

119:57

yeah

119:57

>> and this is such a funny thing dude I

120:00

wish I remember the publication New

120:01

Republic

120:02

>> they had to print a retraction and an

120:05

apology because somebody from the it

120:08

wasn't the OA subreddit Opian subreddit

120:10

it was Opie and Anthony like just their

120:12

like they had a um like a it was like

120:16

their own private message board after

120:17

the Opie and Anthony subreddit got

120:18

kicked off of Reddit. Somebody made a

120:19

website for like Opie and Anthony fans

120:21

to like just troll and be lunatics.

120:24

>> They started feeding him false

120:25

information on purpose

120:27

>> being like I'm like an inside guy on the

120:29

track. And then they went the New

120:30

Republic printed this article with a

120:32

bunch of false information. And uh Chris

120:35

Italia from the stand uh he was the one

120:37

that was quoted. He threatened to sue

120:38

the New Republic and they had a they had

120:40

to print an apology and a retraction.

120:42

They were like, "Some of this

120:42

information was we found out that it was

120:44

falsely represented." Such a funny

120:47

thing.

120:47

>> Also, if you run an AI like Sam Alman

120:50

is, you could ask the AI, "Hey, I'm

120:52

about to get accused of some [ __ ] What

120:54

would be a good way to take some of the

120:57

attention away from the real financial

121:00

issues?"

121:00

>> Yeah.

121:01

>> And make it seem insane. and they would

121:04

say opening up a portal to communicate

121:07

with aliens would discredit any other

121:10

allegations that may be valid.

121:13

For the past year and a half, I've been

121:14

investigating open AI and Santa Malton

121:17

for the New Yorker. With my co-author

121:19

Andrew Morance, I reviewed never-before

121:23

disclosed internal memos, obtained 200

121:25

plus pages of documents related to close

121:28

colleague, including extensive private

121:31

notes, and interviewed more than 100

121:32

people. Open AAI was founded on the

121:35

premise that AI could be the most

121:36

dangerous invention in human history and

121:38

that its CEO would need to be a person

121:41

of uncommon integrity. We lay out the

121:43

most detailed account yet of why Altman

121:46

was ousted out by a board members and

121:49

executives who came to believe that he

121:51

lacked integrity and ask were they right

121:53

to allege that he couldn't be trusted.

121:55

They only kicked him out for a short

121:57

period of time and then they he got

121:59

right back in. Right. What happened

122:00

there? I don't know. But the thing is

122:02

like someone's saying that they're

122:05

they're trying to open up a portal to

122:08

talk to aliens. Is that just a

122:10

conversation they had where they were

122:11

[ __ ] around? Is that a plan? Are they

122:14

really trying to do that? Like

122:15

>> or is it like a Duncan Trussell that

122:17

works at the the company that's has some

122:18

wild ideas, right? It could just be

122:20

that.

122:21

>> Or is it someone trying to sell the

122:23

story and make the story more

122:25

interesting for people to tune into?

122:26

Because the reality is most people that

122:29

don't have a dog in that fight and like

122:31

the AI fight and open AI and who's most

122:34

people like more AI drama.

122:37

>> Yeah. They don't even

122:38

>> But you add aliens. You're like, "Wait,

122:39

hold on."

122:40

>> Yeah.

122:41

>> A portal to talk to aliens.

122:44

>> Yeah.

122:44

>> You know, so it's it's a way to get

122:46

people to pay more attention to it. Or

122:48

it could be

122:49

>> What about all the people that are

122:50

>> distract people from the actual story?

122:52

>> Not even like anti-A they're like they

122:54

look down on it. They're like like using

122:56

AI. It's It's like guys that's like it's

122:58

like denying the internet in '94. It's

123:00

like

123:01

>> people did.

123:02

>> I'm sure

123:02

>> people were mad when the printing press

123:04

came out.

123:05

>> I'm sure

123:05

>> they were. Yeah,

123:06

>> they really were. They thought they

123:09

There's There's people that made the

123:10

argument that like reading was bad.

123:12

>> Yeah. It's crazy. And it's it's going to

123:14

be impossible for the next few years.

123:16

Like every company you're not going to

123:18

be able to buy groceries without

123:19

utilizing AI. It's going to be most of

123:22

how we get stuff is all going to be AI

123:24

and automation.

123:26

>> Oh, of course.

123:26

>> But that's

123:27

>> shopping and that's that's a big thing

123:28

in the future. Like you're not even

123:30

going to shop. They're going to give you

123:30

a profile and your clothes are going to

123:32

show up. You're going to set a budget.

123:34

>> People barely have contact with people

123:36

already as it is. Yeah.

123:37

>> Like what is that going to be like when

123:39

everything's automated? When you go to

123:41

the grocery store, at least you say hi

123:42

to the clerk. You know, a guy works

123:44

there. There's the butcher. He's there

123:45

every day. Hey, what's up, dude? It's

123:47

like it's a little sense of community.

123:49

your local mom and pop shops. That

123:52

>> I mean I I already for the most part

123:53

stopped shopping. I I do Instacart all

123:56

the time.

123:57

>> That's also the thing. It's going to

123:58

come in a robot, too.

123:59

>> Yeah. Well, they have that already. Uh

124:01

Austin, it's here. They have the little

124:02

robots that deliver food, right?

124:03

California for sure.

124:05

>> The robot's going to text your

124:06

girlfriend. I I know that this is

124:09

generally when you buy tampons. Your

124:11

period must be coming up. We see you

124:13

haven't ordered any lately.

124:14

>> 100%.

124:15

>> You want me I could just stop by and

124:16

drop them off. I bet you can get a

124:18

subscription to tampons right now.

124:19

>> Right now?

124:20

>> Yeah.

124:21

>> It's going to be real weird when robots

124:23

are just walking on the street with

124:24

people. I've seen him in uh Austin at

124:26

the domain. A little robot with a cowboy

124:28

hat. He walks around.

124:29

>> Yeah. Somebody had a robot on their

124:30

podcast recently. Oh, Andrew Schultz. He

124:33

did an interview with like whatever like

124:35

the premier robot is.

124:36

>> Oh, really?

124:36

>> It was so funny, dude.

124:38

>> Was it good?

124:39

>> It was great.

124:40

>> What? How does it talk? Does it Does its

124:41

lips move? Let me see what

124:42

>> No, no. It was just kind of like uh you

124:44

know, it was like

124:44

>> like I robot.

124:45

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they were [ __ ]

124:46

with it, dude. Oh, what did they tell us

124:48

to do? I I don't want to like ruin the

124:50

bit, but it's pretty funny. They were

124:51

like, "Pretend

124:54

They were like, "Pretend you had

124:54

something." And the robot's doing this,

124:56

dude.

125:00

>> It was so [ __ ] funny.

125:01

>> That's hilarious.

125:02

>> It really tickled my dick.

125:04

>> That's funny, dude.

125:06

>> Sam Alman, one reason why they could be

125:08

calling a portal is cuz the project is

125:10

literally called Stargate.

125:14

>> Here we go. and requires insane amount

125:16

of power. So much so that Japan laughed

125:18

at them apparently according to one

125:20

article when they said that that's what

125:22

they went. They're opening up in Texas.

125:23

>> And a Japanese laugh powerful laugh.

125:25

>> If it is possible to do something like

125:27

that, I guarantee you that dude is not

125:30

going to tell you,

125:30

>> right?

125:31

>> I guarantee you that dude's just going

125:32

to do it.

125:33

>> No.

125:33

>> Especially if like there's other people

125:35

working on it too. Maybe that's why

125:37

these scientists are going missing,

125:41

right? Cuz if someone's like real close

125:43

to cracking this, even you know the

125:45

difference between winning and losing

125:47

that's going to be.

125:47

>> Is this

125:48

>> the alien portal?

125:49

>> One point a one gigawatt Stargate. Is

125:52

that right?

125:53

>> What's that mean?

125:54

>> Wait, gigawatts are real? I thought that

125:55

was

125:56

>> Back to the We're getting really close

125:57

to Back to the Future.

125:59

>> G.

126:00

>> Yeah, it says gaw. It says a 1 gawatt

126:04

Stargate UAE cluster in Abu Dhabi with

126:07

200 megawws expected to go live in 2026.

126:12

This was the one that Iran was

126:14

threatening to blow up, right? Weren't

126:16

they threatening to blow something up

126:18

like this?

126:20

>> I think they were. Weren't they

126:21

threatening to blow up the open AI?

126:25

>> I'll check, but I just It says whatever

126:27

this says.

126:27

>> That was one of the things. They're

126:28

probably like you [ __ ] Yeah,

126:30

>> we know where you're making the portal.

126:33

>> Iran's right the whole time.

126:34

>> Well, that was uh that was one of the

126:36

crazy conspiracy theories about Iraq is

126:39

that one of the reasons why we went into

126:41

Iraq is they had a Stargate there.

126:44

>> Iran threatens complete and utter

126:45

annihilation of Open AI's $30 billion

126:48

Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi.

126:50

Yeah, they were going to bomb it.

126:52

>> Wow.

126:52

>> Wasn't that uh one of the conspiracy

126:55

theories from

127:02

God, what was it? I can't remember. But

127:06

there was a It was something about Iraq

127:08

and Stargate. God, I we I can't remember

127:11

what show I saw this on, but they were

127:13

talking about how at one point in time

127:16

there was like internal discussion that

127:18

there was a Stargate in Iraq and that

127:21

maybe Sodom Hussein had this Stargate.

127:24

So, it was one of many reasons why we

127:26

went into Iraq that it wasn't just

127:28

because, you know, we wanted to control

127:29

the oil, get out Saddam Hussein. He

127:32

sponsored terrorism,

127:34

right? Weapons of mass destruction.

127:36

Sure.

127:37

>> But really, there was a Stargate there.

127:38

God, I forget who [ __ ] said it

127:40

though.

127:41

>> Yeah, I'm seeing a few Ancient Aliens,

127:43

maybe.

127:44

>> Could be. That show was always the best.

127:47

Action Bronson is another guy who smoked

127:48

more weed than anybody that I've ever

127:50

had on the podcast. He went how many

127:51

blunts did he go through

127:53

>> if you had to guess, Jamie?

127:55

>> Uh, probably 11 the first time.

127:57

>> 11.

127:59

>> Just non-stop.

128:00

>> Just non-stop with the other one.

128:02

>> So he had that ancient alien show where

128:03

they would just get high as [ __ ] and

128:04

watch ancient aliens. Have you ever seen

128:06

that?

128:06

>> No.

128:09

>> It was so silly. They would just get

128:12

barbecued and watch these ancient alien

128:14

hypotheses. That might have been where I

128:16

saw it. But the idea of a Stargate

128:18

because that was like an ancient

128:20

civilization where where Iraq is, where

128:23

Saddam Hussein was controlling. That was

128:25

ancient Sumere. That was like one of the

128:28

first civilizations ever. One of the

128:30

first examples that we know of like

128:32

written writing.

128:33

>> It's like that was a crazy empire, man.

128:36

Like weird bizarre structures and

128:39

incredible [ __ ] artwork.

128:41

>> Like really w and it came out of

128:42

nowhere.

128:43

>> It's like an instantaneous civilization.

128:46

really interesting.

128:48

But if there was a Stargate there,

128:51

I mean, imagine that's why they're doing

128:52

it in the Middle East. Why is he doing

128:54

it in the Middle East?

128:55

>> Yeah.

128:55

>> You know what I mean? Why is he making

128:57

Stargate in the Middle East?

128:58

>> Abu Dhabi's fun.

128:59

>> Imagine if Jesus returns through Sam

129:01

Alman's portal.

129:03

>> Jesus Christ himself.

129:04

>> Like Jesus is real and Jesus he's going

129:06

to be floating with the robe on the

129:08

sandals like right through Sam Alman's

129:11

portal.

129:11

>> Wow.

129:14

Samuel Jackson's a scientist like god

129:17

damn it and everybody's freaking out.

129:19

It' be a great movie.

129:20

>> It would be. When are they going to do a

129:22

cool movie about the future of AI? That

129:23

like that's that's got to be on the

129:25

horizon, right? Like a really about the

129:26

dark side of what's going to happen.

129:28

>> I think it's too late. I think by the

129:30

time you make it, AI won't let you

129:31

release it.

129:32

>> Oh wow. It's over.

129:34

>> Black Mirror did a pretty good job.

129:36

>> Black Mirror, I can't watch it. It

129:37

freaks me out so much. Every time I

129:39

watch a Black Mirror episode, I walk

129:41

away feeling like I was just sexually

129:42

assaulted.

129:43

>> How about the one where that dog is

129:45

chasing that lady, the the robot dog?

129:47

>> I've only watched like four or five

129:48

episodes.

129:49

>> What is that one called? Heavy metal.

129:50

>> Yeah, but I mean, if you watch them all,

129:52

did you know that they'd have this most

129:54

of those plots are all kind of

129:56

converging in our reality.

129:57

>> Yeah. And they're based in real like

129:58

they they have a kernel of truth and

130:00

then it turns into I watched the one

130:02

where it was like

130:03

>> you uh you got like blocked out, your

130:05

face got blocked out, people couldn't

130:06

see you anymore. Like once your social

130:08

credit score got low enough.

130:09

>> Oh yeah, I remember that one.

130:10

>> Freaky, dude.

130:11

>> It is freaky.

130:12

>> Yeah,

130:12

>> it is freaky. There was a one where they

130:14

were that recorded all memories and so

130:17

you could go into someone else's memory

130:19

and you could record and there was the

130:22

one where the what was it called?

130:24

Crocodile. That was the episode. Oh my

130:26

god. I don't want to say what happens

130:28

because it's it's it's a it's a twist,

130:31

but it it's so dark and it's based on

130:33

that. It's based on reading people's

130:35

memories. I don't like watching like

130:36

dark [ __ ] Like I like I like happy.

130:39

>> It's not a good one before bed.

130:40

>> Fun. No, dude. You go to bed like what

130:42

the [ __ ] going on, dude. The

130:44

>> I get my my worst anxiety about the

130:47

future of the world at night for

130:48

whatever reason.

130:49

>> Yeah.

130:50

>> The worst fears of what's going on in

130:52

the world always come out at night.

130:54

>> Yeah. It's cuz it's the end of the day.

130:56

You got to offload all of the [ __ ]

130:58

you read all day and saw online all day

131:00

and you're like, "Fuck." You have a

131:01

moment to reflect. You're not looking at

131:03

your phone. You're like, "Fuck." Also,

131:05

no one else is awake. That's my problem.

131:07

And so, I don't have to think about

131:08

anybody else. I just think about my I'm

131:10

just in my own head. And then you're

131:12

inevitably just dealing with the the

131:15

truth of the world.

131:16

>> You stay up late

131:17

>> sometimes. I'm trying not to.

131:19

>> I'm in bed by 10:00 every night.

131:20

>> Are you really?

131:21

>> Unless I do like late shows. I'm up by

131:23

600, in bed by 10.

131:25

>> That's awesome. My problem is that's

131:27

when I do my writing and it's also when

131:28

everyone's asleep and I think I get the

131:30

most like thinking done.

131:32

>> You know what I mean? Yeah, that's

131:34

what's nice when you leave your son's

131:35

mother.

131:36

>> You don't have a family to bother you.

131:41

>> But if you if I do um do shows like I've

131:44

done shows on like a couple hours sleep.

131:46

I'll come in and do a podcast and I'm a

131:48

[ __ ] I can't remember anything. It's

131:50

like my brain is working at like 40%.

131:52

But like last night I got solid sleep. I

131:54

got a solid eight hour sleep.

131:57

>> Yeah.

131:57

>> So it's way better for

131:59

>> once I stop smoking weed. The first few

132:01

days are rough to get to sleep. Like I

132:03

gotta take like, you know, just some

132:04

melatonin or some um

132:06

>> Does that work for you?

132:08

>> No, not melatonin. I take um what's the

132:10

other one? I take like it's like a

132:12

chick's [ __ ] thing powder. No, no,

132:15

it's not a drug.

132:16

>> Is it? No, it's a natural thing. Um it's

132:18

[ __ ] What' you say?

132:19

>> Magnesium.

132:20

>> Magnesium. There's there's there's a

132:21

product called magnes

132:24

which is like it's like a pink powder

132:26

that like a hot chick told me about and

132:28

I [ __ ] love it, dude. And I literally

132:29

put it in some sleepy time tea and I mix

132:32

it up with some Valyan root and I just

132:34

drink that. That puts me right out.

132:36

>> Um, but when you stop smoking weed, I

132:37

don't know how often you stop smoking

132:38

weed, Joe.

132:40

>> Your dreams get crazy.

132:41

>> Yeah, I know.

132:42

>> They get [ __ ] wild.

132:43

>> Super vivid.

132:44

>> Yeah. Very

132:45

>> strange, right?

132:45

>> Yeah. First time I ever lucid dreamed in

132:47

my entire life was when I stopped

132:49

smoking weed. It was very It was last

132:51

year. I never been able to control my

132:52

dreams ever.

132:53

>> How many times did you do it?

132:54

>> I've only lucid dreamt twice. Um, the

132:57

first time I had stopped smoking weed, I

133:00

was having really vivid dreams. I was

133:01

backstage at a big like theater, like

133:04

huge theater, right? Like massive, like

133:06

almost like a stadiumiz theater. And uh

133:08

Jeremy Pivven was about to go on stage.

133:10

I don't know Jeremy Pippen. But I was

133:11

like, "Oh, Jeremy Pivan, what's going

133:12

on?" Entourage. And he was a dick to me

133:14

in the dream. He was like, he was like,

133:16

"Whatever." He ignored me. And I was

133:17

like, "What the fuck?" And then I looked

133:18

over and Greg Deraldo was standing next

133:20

to me.

133:21

>> Oh. Then you knew it was a dream.

133:22

>> Greg Daldo was 7 feet tall in the dream.

133:23

He was a giant. And I was like, "What

133:25

the [ __ ] up with Jeremy Pivan?" And

133:27

he's like, "I don't know." And I was

133:28

like, "Wait a minute." I was like, "Greg

133:28

Deraldo is dead." And then I was like,

133:30

"Oh, I'm [ __ ] dreaming."

133:31

>> Wow.

133:32

>> And then I literally I just started

133:33

running and I said, "I'm going to fly."

133:35

And I just jumped. Dude, it was the

133:37

coolest thing I've ever done. I jumped

133:38

up, flew. It was night time. I was

133:40

outside now. Flew into the sky and I

133:43

kept on going up and I couldn't come

133:44

down. I was starting to be over water

133:45

and I was like, "Fuck, I'm getting I'm

133:46

like up in the clouds. So to go back

133:49

down, I would have to turn on my back

133:50

and freef fall like just like like

133:52

that." And then I'd turn back over and

133:54

I'd hit a [ __ ] thing and I'd start

133:55

going back up

133:56

>> maybe 10 15 minutes of just flying

133:58

around the sky over the ocean.

134:00

>> Wow.

134:01

>> Coolest thing ever. Coolest thing ever.

134:03

And then another time a similar thing

134:04

happened. Like I realized I was dreaming

134:06

and I was like I'm going to fly. And

134:07

then I started running and I jumped and

134:09

nothing happened and I was like why

134:10

can't I fly? I'm dreaming. And then I

134:12

woke up.

134:14

>> So it was one of the best experiences

134:15

you've ever had, right?

134:16

>> Maybe I literally flying and feeling

134:19

like it was real was one of the coolest

134:21

things I've ever done. But have you ever

134:23

tried to lucid dream on purpose?

134:25

>> I've tried to do the techniques where

134:27

they say like knock like am I dreaming?

134:29

Like that's

134:29

>> done that once and it worked. I was

134:32

like, "Oh my god."

134:32

>> All day dreaming.

134:34

>> Yeah. I did it like every time I go

134:35

through a door, I'd go, "Am I dreaming?"

134:37

I did it for like only a few days and

134:39

then I lucid dreaming work. Yeah.

134:41

>> So cool.

134:42

>> Yeah. But there's real techniques that I

134:44

have not looked into and I'm always

134:46

wondering why because I'm always like I

134:49

think it would be really cool to just be

134:50

able to

134:51

>> half your life you can do whatever you

134:52

want to do. You can do magic.

134:54

>> Meanwhile, I put zero effort into it.

134:56

I'm confused. I'm like why why don't I

134:59

try to do that but I have no desire to.

135:01

>> There should be a class on it. There

135:03

should be like that should be like a

135:05

class where you can learn how to lucid

135:06

dream. My fear is that I would like it

135:09

so much that I would think only about

135:11

going to sleep and wanting to lucid

135:14

dream rather than live my normal life.

135:16

So it probably [ __ ] my normal life up

135:18

>> maybe.

135:19

>> Right. Because if you sleep 8 hours a

135:21

night, like if most of the day kind of

135:23

sucked for you, but for 8 hours you can

135:26

have boundless energy because you're not

135:28

moving and you're not even conscious.

135:30

You're out there flying, breathing

135:32

underwater, having sex with mermaids.

135:34

>> Yeah. getting [ __ ] by Angelina Jolie

135:36

in her prime

135:37

>> being Iron Man, whatever you [ __ ] be

135:40

whatever you want. Wouldn't you do that

135:43

and just like work at the Amazon factory

135:45

all day?

135:46

>> Just work to get your money so you can

135:47

go to sleep and become a superhero.

135:49

>> All you need is a comfortable bed.

135:51

>> Yeah.

135:52

>> Yeah.

135:53

>> Yeah.

135:53

>> It's a better life.

135:55

>> That's the problem with the Matrix.

135:57

>> There's um

135:57

>> Remember that movie with the dude with

135:59

the steak?

136:00

>> Never saw it.

136:00

>> You never saw The Matrix? never saw The

136:02

Matrix

136:02

>> really

136:03

>> to this day.

136:05

>> Wow. There's a scene where this one dude

136:07

Joey Pants, he's in a famous actor. He's

136:09

been in a bunch of movies. Um he he

136:12

turns on people in the Matrix and he

136:15

starts working for the man. Spoiler

136:17

alert. But one of the things that he

136:20

says like when he's having this meeting

136:21

with this agent in the Matrix, he said,

136:24

"I want to be an important person.

136:26

>> Like I want to be famous." He's like

136:28

cutting up his steak and he's eating a

136:30

steak in the Matrix.

136:31

>> Meanwhile, the outside world is just

136:33

complete total dystopia. Everyone's

136:35

head's connected to a pipe that's just

136:37

like you're a human battery keeping the

136:39

Matrix alive.

136:40

>> Oh yeah, that's that that's the future.

136:42

>> That's coming.

136:43

>> That's coming. Yeah. We're just fat just

136:45

[ __ ] meatags with like a

136:47

>> just being fed ideas, right? Wasn't that

136:49

Wall-E? I never saw Wall-E either. I got

136:51

to watch it with my kid. Apparently,

136:52

it's one of the coolest movies ever.

136:53

>> It's a fun movie.

136:54

>> Yeah. Yeah. You know, same thing. Uh,

136:56

Total Recall was a similar concept,

136:58

right? There's a there's a great um

137:01

Instagram follow. Dude, this guy makes

137:03

such cool little mini movies with AI.

137:05

It's all AI. It's called Gossip Goblin.

137:08

I don't know if you've seen this guy's

137:09

channel, dude.

137:10

>> I think I have. I might be. I might

137:11

follow that guy.

137:12

>> Yeah, he's I think I've definitely seen

137:14

Let me see some of that. And he does

137:16

like essentially he takes like sort of

137:17

like the kernel of like whatever it is

137:19

and then he puts together these

137:21

dystopian little mini films

137:23

>> where it's like the future and a lot of

137:24

it is plugging into like this alternate

137:26

reality and then like living a whole

137:28

lifetime in just a couple seconds.

137:30

>> Can I listen to some of those?

137:32

>> Ow.

137:34

>> Felt real enough, didn't it?

137:35

>> That's exactly what a simulation would

137:37

do. Give you perfect pain so you never

137:39

question it.

137:40

>> Or maybe you've just got nerve endings.

137:42

Eh,

137:42

>> your spools simulate whole worlds. Yeah.

137:45

>> Mhm.

137:46

>> They can sim whole lives. So if your

137:48

little workshop can host a billion fake

137:49

worlds, how many layers deep does it go?

137:51

It's all just simulations inside

137:53

simulations inside simulations. And and

137:55

we're just sat here in one of them

137:56

thinking we're the original.

137:57

>> Sure, why not?

137:58

>> I want to see it. Whatever's underneath

138:00

this. Just show it to me. Show it to me.

138:01

Show it to me. Show it to me.

138:04

>> Coming right up.

138:08

>> A fish swims its whole life in a bowl.

138:12

convinced the water is all there is. It

138:15

doesn't see the glass that holds it, nor

138:17

does it notice the room beyond it or the

138:20

city beyond that. It never wonders about

138:23

the planet or the galaxy or the vast

138:26

cosmos beyond. For all the worlds within

138:29

worlds within worlds, the fish does not

138:33

care to know and it can't know. All it

138:37

can do is swim.

138:40

Holy [ __ ]

138:46

>> That's amazing.

138:46

>> It's so dude I I've watched all of his

138:48

videos. This guy's so good. He just did

138:50

like a a longer like I want to say

138:52

feature like for this. It was like maybe

138:54

15 20 minutes on YouTube. He did like a

138:56

longer one. Dude, he's awesome, dude.

138:58

>> It's just so incredible.

139:00

>> And this isn't just like putting a

139:01

prompt in like he like he has editors.

139:03

He has voiceover guys and then he like

139:04

manipulates like five different AI

139:06

programs in order to make these movies.

139:07

It's really cool. Yeah, the patch,

139:09

right?

139:09

>> It's just incredible how good it is now.

139:12

>> Yeah.

139:13

>> And so quickly. Like look how good this

139:17

is in comparison to something that just

139:19

was out a year ago or two years ago.

139:21

There's never been anything that's been

139:23

a leap like this before.

139:24

>> Yeah. The way they're going to make

139:25

films in the future.

139:27

>> Well, the people that are going to be

139:28

able to make films.

139:29

>> Yeah.

139:29

>> You know what I like people like we were

139:31

talking about how the government's

139:32

really bad at making uh censoring

139:36

television and it cripples the

139:38

television because of that.

139:39

>> Well, you could see a similar problem

139:42

with having to go through a [ __ ]

139:44

gigantic film production company to make

139:47

a movie.

139:48

>> Like the money, the investors, people

139:50

having their say.

139:51

>> Everyone's got to get paid.

139:53

>> Not just that, but everyone has their

139:55

say,

139:56

>> right?

139:56

>> Like you can't just have an original

139:58

idea. That's completely from one [ __ ]

140:01

crazy person. But with this, you can.

140:03

>> Yeah.

140:03

>> With this, you could just have one crazy

140:05

guy who's got these wild ideas in his

140:07

head, but never could get anybody to

140:09

finance them before.

140:10

>> You don't even need to anymore. You

140:12

don't need actors. You don't need any of

140:13

that anymore.

140:14

>> And it's going to happen so

140:15

exponentially over the next two, three

140:16

years. You're There's a great um they

140:18

show you there's a video that shows you

140:21

the advancement of AI over the past few

140:23

years. And I guess the an AI video they

140:25

did Will Smith eating spaghetti like one

140:27

from it was like five years ago and he's

140:29

all [ __ ] up. It's like he's saw and

140:32

they keep on recreating that with new

140:33

AI. And the newest one is just like it's

140:36

it's Will Smith eating spaghetti.

140:37

>> It's a movie

140:38

>> and he's sitting at a table and he's

140:39

just talking to this dude and he's just

140:41

it looks like the most realistic thing

140:44

you'll ever see.

140:44

>> And then eventually you're going to be

140:46

in the room with Will. You're going to

140:47

put on the helmet and you'll be in a

140:49

room with Will

140:50

>> and then he's going to blow me.

140:51

>> That's what I was going to say.

140:54

Get sucked off by Will Smith. You

140:56

>> imagine that's what you do all day.

140:58

That's all I want to do. All I want to

141:00

do is get head from famous 90s sitcom

141:02

stars.

141:02

>> So fun. So fun, dude. David Fino from uh

141:06

Married with

141:07

>> Yeah, dude.

141:08

>> Danny DeVito. Al Bundy sucks your dick.

141:10

>> Yep. Yep.

141:11

>> Yeah.

141:12

>> Be great.

141:13

>> Sucks your dick and then shits in his

141:14

pants when you come. Yep.

141:15

>> That's what you're into.

141:18

>> It's It's What's weird then you get to

141:20

ride a dragon home. You

141:21

>> how about a dragon, you fly home with

141:23

Daenerys Targaryen.

141:24

>> That's it.

141:25

>> Like we we're about to enter a world

141:28

within our lifetime that is iniccernible

141:30

from what we're really living in right

141:32

now.

141:32

>> Yeah.

141:32

>> Which makes you think like

141:34

>> which one's real?

141:36

>> Like when you're in that dream and you

141:37

know you're dreaming and you're flying,

141:39

I bet it feels pretty real,

141:40

>> right?

141:41

>> Oh, yeah.

141:42

>> Right. That's the problem.

141:43

>> Yeah. I mean,

141:45

>> what is that? It'll eventually it's just

141:47

gonna be I mean it's it's really just a

141:49

theme in so many sci-fi movies too.

141:51

There was also um f maybe the most

141:54

nobody talks about this [ __ ] movie

141:55

but it's so good.

141:58

>> What I'm saying is maybe when you're

141:59

dreaming maybe that's just a different

142:01

level of the simulation that you could

142:03

kind of have input to. Maybe the

142:05

parameters of the natural simulation

142:08

>> is more rigid. rigid like you put in the

142:10

work, you made that gas digital, you put

142:12

in all those hours, you're starting to

142:14

make money, doing great long process,

142:16

all this [ __ ] complicated stuff you

142:18

had to do, figure out things about

142:19

yourself, get to where you are today in

142:20

2026. And that one it's like I want to

142:23

fly it,

142:25

>> you know, like it might be just a

142:27

different level of the simulation that

142:29

we don't

142:30

>> we don't really put a lot of attention

142:32

to because it's we're only there eight

142:33

hours a day so very few people become

142:35

masters of it.

142:37

>> Yeah, that'd be cool though. might be

142:39

real.

142:39

>> Yeah,

142:41

>> that might be what's going on.

142:43

>> Maybe. I mean, the idea if if this was

142:45

all a simulation and we wouldn't and

142:47

it's we're AI like we're having a

142:48

conversation. We just don't know. Like

142:50

that idea is so [ __ ] dark and weird.

142:52

>> And also maybe all the booze and all the

142:55

[ __ ] drugs and all the sleeping pills

142:58

that just [ __ ] you up in that next

143:01

dimension. So when you are in dream

143:04

sleep, you're like, "Oh no, what did he

143:06

do? He just

143:09

snoring and hung over and you did coke

143:12

and your [ __ ] nose is bleeding and

143:14

the the dream you is like godamn it I

143:17

wanted to fly but you can't even you

143:20

can't even do anything you you just

143:22

sleep you just sleep you just shut off

143:24

and you rob yourself of that other

143:25

dimension

143:26

>> just wasting wasting away

143:28

>> but I wonder if there's like a culture

143:30

where everyone learns at a young age how

143:33

to lucid dream

143:35

like some Tibetan culture living in the

143:38

mountain somewhere. Oh,

143:41

just tapping into the dream world,

143:43

trying to figure out how to control it

143:44

while they sleep.

143:45

>> It should be more popular. And you saw

143:47

sometimes you talk to some chick and

143:48

she's like, "Yeah, I lucidely dream

143:49

every night." I'm like, "Right,

143:50

>> come on. Really?"

143:51

>> Yep. She's on 18 medications. She's also

143:54

bipolar

143:55

and she thinks she's a witch. There's

143:57

always going to be people that are

143:58

bullshitting you. But there's got to be

144:00

a bunch of people that are really good

144:02

at lucid dreaming.

144:04

>> Yeah.

144:04

>> Cuz it's a thing. Like people know how

144:06

to do it. There's got to be like a guy

144:08

who's like the guru, like the lucid

144:11

dream guru.

144:12

>> I bet there is. I bet there's I bet

144:13

there's courses. There's stuff online.

144:15

When was the movie back in the day,

144:17

Waking Life, that Alex Jones was in?

144:19

>> I saw that on Acid by myself when he

144:21

came out in the movie theater.

144:23

>> And I was blown the [ __ ] away by this

144:25

movie.

144:26

>> What was he ranting about at the end? Do

144:28

you remember?

144:29

>> I don't remember. He was just ranting in

144:30

a car over a megaphone.

144:31

>> Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if I wonder his

144:33

rant is relevant today. I wonder. We

144:36

haven't listened to it in a while, but I

144:37

bet if you listen to his rant,

144:40

>> death and taxes, don't talk about

144:42

politics or religion. This is all the

144:45

equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling

144:47

across the picket line. Lay down, GI.

144:49

Lay down, GI. We saw it all through the

144:51

20th century. And now in the 21st

144:53

century, it's time to stand up and

144:55

realize that we should not allow

144:57

ourselves to be crammed into this rat

144:58

maze. We should not submit to

145:00

dehumanization. I don't know about you,

145:03

but I'm concerned with what's happening

145:04

in this world. I'm concerned with the

145:06

structure. I'm concerned with the

145:08

systems of control. Those that control

145:10

my life and those that seek to control

145:12

it even more. I WANT FREEDOM. THAT'S

145:15

WHAT I WANT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU should

145:17

want. It's up to each and every one of

145:19

us to turn loose just some of the greed,

145:21

the hatred, the envy, and yes, the

145:23

insecurities because that is the central

145:25

mode of control. make us feel pathetic,

145:27

small, so we'll willingly give up our

145:30

sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny.

145:33

We have got to realize that we're being

145:36

conditioned on a mass scale. Start

145:38

challenging this corporate slave state.

145:40

The 21st century is going to be a new

145:42

century, not the century of slavery, not

145:45

the century of lies and issues of no

145:47

significance and classism and statism

145:49

and all the rest of the modes of

145:51

control. It's going to be the AGE OF

145:53

HUMANKIND STANDING UP FOR SOMETHING pure

145:56

and something right. What a bunch of

145:58

garbage. Liberal, Democrat,

146:00

conservative, Republican. It's all there

146:02

to control you. Two sides of the SAME

146:04

COIN. TWO MANAGEMENT TEAMS BIDDING FOR

146:06

CONTROL. THE CEO JOB OF SLAVERY

146:09

INCORPORATED. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE IN

146:11

FRONT OF YOU, BUT THEY LAY OUT THIS

146:13

BUFFET OF LIES. I'M SICK OF IT AND I'M

146:15

NOT GOING TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF IT. DO

146:17

YOU GOT ME?

146:18

>> I GOT A I'm pumped on this right now.

146:21

That sounds like Antifa,

146:24

>> right? That doesn't sound rightwing at

146:26

all.

146:26

>> Doesn't sound like a right winger at

146:27

all. Yeah.

146:28

>> At all. I mean, everything he's saying

146:30

is true.

146:30

>> Yeah.

146:31

>> That's what's not. So, he's all red in

146:32

the face now.

146:33

>> It This movie Richard Linklater, right,

146:36

made this. Yeah. Yeah. This was a

146:38

>> fun movie. That's like '9s, right? Was

146:40

it '90s?

146:40

>> No, no, no. Cuz I was already doing

146:41

drugs.

146:42

>> Had to be 2000s.

146:43

>> If I had to guess, 2002

146:44

>> 2001.

146:45

>> October 2001.

146:47

>> Nice.

146:47

>> Yeah. I only started smoking weed when I

146:49

was 17. Then I started experimenting

146:50

with hallucinogens in those

146:53

>> first few years of college.

146:55

>> Just taking acid by yourself, watching

146:56

that movie, being like

146:58

>> blown away. The animation was so cool.

147:00

It was just shaky.

147:02

>> Yeah. So, you saw that thing that I had

147:04

to do at the White House the other day?

147:05

>> I did see it. Yeah.

147:06

>> Yeah. Yeah. People are pissed.

147:08

>> Who's pissed?

147:09

>> I don't know. People online.

147:10

>> What? Because I was at the White House.

147:11

>> Yeah. They're like, "Yo, Joe, you can't

147:12

be at the [ __ ] White House. Joe, you

147:14

said you were [ __ ] politically

147:16

>> homeless. I am. He joked about it. He

147:18

called me a liberal during the whole

147:20

thing. He's like, "Joe, he's very

147:21

liberal."

147:22

>> What? Oh, I saw another What did he The

147:24

the other thing the the big conspiracy

147:26

theory is that Trump is mad at you and

147:27

he came up to the UFC and he was he was

147:30

talking [ __ ] to you.

147:31

>> No, the opposite.

147:32

>> That video came out and it was like,

147:33

"Look, Trump's [ __ ] Joe Rogan getting

147:35

embarrassed by Trump at the [ __ ] UFC

147:37

event."

147:37

>> It was literally the opposite. I texted

147:40

him on Friday about ibeane and I was

147:43

telling him how there's

147:45

>> that's a this is the one the vets use.

147:48

>> So they've had to go to Mexico to get

147:50

this. So I I've had these two different

147:52

podcast with Brian Huard and Rick Perry.

147:55

Rick Perry was the governor of Texas and

147:57

they talked about Ibigane and Brian

147:59

Hubard was relaying his story about how

148:02

I saved him from addiction and fixed his

148:06

brain. And then they had all these other

148:08

stories of all these other veterans and

148:09

all these different people that had PTSD

148:12

and opiate addiction. It's I know a lot

148:15

of people who have gone down there to do

148:16

it. I first I found out about it from my

148:18

friend Ed Clay who runs a CPI. He's one

148:21

of the guys that runs the Cellular

148:22

Performance Institute in Tijana that the

148:24

UFC uses for stem cells.

148:26

>> Yeah.

148:26

>> He had a pill problem and he went down

148:29

there and did it and then opened up his

148:30

own retreat down there because it was so

148:32

potent because it worked so well. So

148:34

many people.

148:35

>> What is it? What is the the compound

148:36

though?

148:37

>> It's called ibe

148:38

>> synthetic like acid.

148:39

>> No, no, no. It's it's from a plant. It's

148:41

from the aboga tree. And this one thing

148:45

that they uh do is not recreational.

148:49

It's very It's supposed to be a horrible

148:50

experience. You [ __ ] yourself, you throw

148:52

up, and you have this like very weird

148:55

experience where it goes over your

148:56

entire life and shows you like in every

148:58

detail why you're like this and why you

149:00

do this and what your and it also

149:03

>> shuts off withdrawals and addiction on a

149:07

lot of people. It's like really

149:08

effective

149:09

>> really.

149:09

>> But for a lot of these guys with PTSD

149:11

was the only thing that [ __ ] helped

149:13

them. And for the longest time, they've

149:14

had to go to Mexico or to other

149:16

countries and it's really expensive. So

149:19

they uh formed the Texas Ibagane

149:22

initiative and uh is it Lieutenant

149:25

Governor Dan Patrick? Is that what his

149:27

title is? So he dedicated a hund00

149:29

million to it. And so now they're going

149:31

to start doing it with people like

149:34

soldiers and police officers and

149:36

different people with PTSD and

149:38

>> and you know just people with just

149:39

general depression. It's and all sorts

149:42

of addictions, not just like uh opiates,

149:45

but alcohol, gambling, all sorts of

149:47

[ __ ]

149:47

>> Yeah. And I told him about it and I told

149:50

him, "No, no, but I had these guys on

149:52

the podcast and I know so many people

149:54

that have done it, particularly soldiers

149:56

that have done it

149:57

>> and and people that with opiate like my

149:59

friend Ed and and I said I told him

150:01

about it. I said how effective it is and

150:03

I said, you know, and it's been held up

150:05

for so long." And he said, "What are you

150:07

looking for? You looking for FDA

150:09

approval?" He goes, "It sounds good to

150:10

me."

150:10

>> He said, "Let's do it." And so,

150:12

literally sees me at the UFC the next

150:14

day, shakes my hand, and says, "It's

150:16

done."

150:16

>> Wow. That's what he was saying.

150:18

>> That's so funny.

150:18

>> I was like and I said, "Thank you, sir."

150:20

It wasn't like he was mad at me at all.

150:21

>> People jump on these like conclusions

150:23

like,

150:24

>> "Well, that's okay. You know, you're

150:26

allowed to." But this is the truth.

150:27

That's that's exactly what happened. He

150:28

came to me and he said, "It's done.

150:30

We're going to take care of this is a

150:31

good thing. It's a good thing for the

150:32

soldiers, good thing for everybody." And

150:34

then he had the press conference the

150:35

next week.

150:36

>> But why would anybody be It's so funny.

150:37

So like how they just choose to be

150:40

against things, even good things. Like

150:41

that's it's it's unquestionably a really

150:43

good thing, right? That one is a really

150:44

good thing for everybody because it

150:46

addiction is a huge problem and I gain

150:48

is one of the most effective treatments

150:50

for addiction that they've ever found.

150:52

Another one that's really good for

150:53

addiction is psilocybin. They're going

150:55

to study that as well and hopefully

150:57

fasttrack that as well.

150:58

>> Yeah,

150:59

>> that's part of this bill. This bill is

151:00

all about um this executive order. This

151:03

executive order is all about psychedelic

151:05

treatments for people with depression,

151:07

mental health disorders, and it's all to

151:09

reclassify this stuff. And this is one

151:11

of the things that I said and this is

151:13

why it was important for me to not just

151:16

be there but to say this that this is

151:18

these drugs are not illegal because

151:20

they're harmful. Alcohol is harmful.

151:22

It's legal. Oxycodone is harmful. It's

151:24

legal.

151:25

>> They're illegal because of the 1970s

151:28

controlled substances act. Yeah. This is

151:30

by the Nixon administration. This is

151:32

just they wanted to silence the anti-war

151:34

people and the civil rights people.

151:35

That's it. So they said, "What are these

151:37

people doing?" Well, they're doing acid.

151:38

They're taking mushrooms. They're doing

151:40

this. to doing that said, "Make all that

151:42

[ __ ] illegal as [ __ ] Make it the most."

151:45

And so they put it all in a schedule

151:47

one.

151:47

>> Yeah.

151:48

>> Which means it has no medicinal benefit.

151:50

And I was telling them, I'm like, "It

151:52

has benefit." And not only does it have

151:53

benefit, it could save lives.

151:55

>> Yeah. I uh Yeah. I'm I get terrified of

151:59

psychedelics at this point. I used to

152:00

love them, but I just I mean every time

152:03

if I take mushrooms acid, doesn't matter

152:05

what it is, there will be an hour where

152:07

I'm crying talking to God and thinking

152:09

about my mother.

152:12

Every time.

152:13

>> Maybe that's what you need in your life.

152:14

>> Maybe. I don't know, dude. Sometimes I

152:16

can just push it down. And

152:17

>> I think it should be regulated in the

152:19

sense that I think we should understand

152:20

it better, make sure it's pure, and make

152:24

sure that it's administered by people

152:25

who know what they're doing. And that's

152:27

what they're doing at places like

152:28

Beyond, which is in Mexico. People are

152:30

going down there and have these I gain

152:33

sessions, but they're also doing it

152:35

where they're strapped up to heart

152:36

monitors. They they're very careful. You

152:38

can't do it if you have a bad heart

152:40

because apparently it's really rough.

152:42

Apparently, it's not fun at all. Again,

152:44

I haven't done it. But the people that I

152:46

know that have done it, it's rescued

152:47

them.

152:47

>> Dude, let's micro dose my beain.

152:49

>> I don't think you can micro do. I think

152:50

you got to go I think you got to meet

152:52

the devil [ __ ] Like Joey Diaz

152:54

always says, "What the [ __ ] are you

152:55

doing with that micro dose? I'm trying

152:56

to meet the devil."

152:57

>> Yeah. When I went when I was younger, I

152:59

was like, "Dude, I would love to go to

153:00

like a peyote retreat." And you hear the

153:01

same thing. It's like you vomit and you

153:03

spend [ __ ]

153:04

>> you know, you have to have a special

153:05

shaman like walk you through it and

153:07

guide it and they pat your head with a

153:09

wet towel. And

153:10

>> peyote is masculine. And I had a buddy

153:12

of mine who did measculine in New York

153:14

City. He said he could wa he could hear

153:15

people talking in another building. He

153:17

goes he was watching them through the

153:19

window. They were far away and he could

153:21

hear them talking in his head. I was

153:23

like, "What the [ __ ] dude?"

153:24

>> I bet you I bet you he couldn't hear

153:25

what they were saying. I bet you he was

153:26

I bet you he was making up their words.

153:29

>> I think he tapped in.

153:31

>> I think he tapped in to the quantum

153:33

field.

153:34

>> Yeah.

153:35

>> And he was inside their head like like

153:37

the alien technology. Just instantaneous

153:39

transport. Doesn't have to go through

153:41

sound. Just pick up on the frequency of

153:43

their thoughts.

153:44

>> Yeah. All drugs would be legal.

153:45

Whatever. It's your body.

153:46

>> Exactly. If alcohol is legal, and I

153:49

think it should be, it's one of the

153:51

worst ones for you. If that shit's

153:53

legal,

153:54

>> how many people

153:54

>> Columbia the president of Columbia was

153:56

like, he was like, "Alcohol is worse

153:57

than cocaine." It was a quote years ago.

154:01

>> He did say that.

154:02

>> Oh, no. It was Hunter Biden.

154:03

>> It was I think it's actually true.

154:05

154:08

like the actual like from the coca [ __ ]

154:37

and it's not bad for you, but it [ __ ]

154:39

155:00

looks like.

155:00

155:03

your [ __ ] teeth.

155:04

>> Yeah.

155:04

>> Maybe not though. Maybe it eats your

155:05

teeth cuz you got to think about if you

155:07

can make cocaine out of it. kind of acid

155:09

stuff is in that leaves.

155:10

>> I don't know. It is just a leaf, right?

155:12

>> SOMETHING ELSE IS COMING UP.

155:14

>> THAT'S BETT nuts or something.

155:16

155:33

chewing and ingesting cocoa leaves.

155:35

Bolivia wins. They're ahead of us. They

155:39

win. The real problem with it is

155:41

fentinel and the fact that you have to

155:44

get it from a [ __ ] Coke dealer.

155:46

>> Yeah,

155:46

>> those are the real problems.

155:47

>> Having to talk to a Coke dealer is

155:48

actually the worst part of the entire

155:49

process.

155:50

>> Pope plans to chew cocoa leaves during

155:52

Bolivia visit. Jesus Christ, the Pope's

155:53

dead now. They killed him because he

155:55

wanted to chew the cocoa leaves. That's

155:56

a 2015 article.

156:00

That's wild, dude. Because it is weird

156:02

that I mean, is cocaine worse than

156:05

alcohol? Cuz if it's not, why why is

156:08

alcohol the one that's legal?

156:10

>> Says he specifically requested to chew

156:12

it.

156:14

>> Wow. What a freak.

156:16

>> Yeah. It's

156:17

>> Duncan Trussell has a great joke about

156:18

Adderall.

156:19

>> Oh yeah.

156:19

>> He goes Aderall is like someone did

156:21

cocaine and went

156:24

I can fix this.

156:26

>> That's a great joke.

156:31

I I think I mean I've never done aderall

156:33

either for the same reason that I've

156:34

never done coke like [ __ ] it just seems

156:37

too good seems like it gets you too

156:39

jazzed up.

156:40

>> I I mean I had like debilitating I still

156:42

have debilitating ADHD. I haven't done

156:44

aderall in

156:45

>> What does that mean though?

156:47

>> Um

156:49

so I get like uh I get anxiety if I if I

156:52

look at my mail on my kitchen counter.

156:54

Right now there's a pile this high with

156:56

mail.

156:56

>> Mhm.

156:56

>> If I look at it like I feel like a

156:58

>> because you're not doing the work.

157:00

you're not look going through your mail.

157:02

>> It's just a crippling depression. It

157:03

feels like like if I have to do my

157:05

taxes, like I have a business manager

157:06

that does all this [ __ ] but when I had

157:08

to do it myself, it would like [ __ ]

157:10

me. I would like I would feel like I've

157:11

had depression issues back in the day.

157:13

>> It felt like depression. I feel like I

157:15

want to lie down. When I literally when

157:16

I look at the mail on my counter, they

157:18

call it um ADHD paralysis where there's

157:20

things that you don't like to do and the

157:22

tedious little tasks um that it it feels

157:25

like school work was like really bad for

157:28

me. That was really really hard.

157:30

>> But on the flip side, if there's

157:32

something that you really love, do you

157:34

have a lot of attention to it? A lot of

157:35

energy.

157:36

>> I dive in to like I obsess over it. So

157:39

like I I love the things that I do. I

157:41

love work. Like I really love what I do

157:43

for a living. I I do a bunch of things

157:45

really, but like I love work. I love

157:47

getting on business meetings. I love

157:48

taking a phone call. I love, you know, I

157:50

love writing jokes. I love going on the

157:51

road. Like, so the things that I love to

157:53

do, I dive completely into and I just

157:55

sort of

157:55

>> see that's where it's stupid to me that

157:58

that's a disease, right?

157:59

>> That seems like you're allergic to

158:00

boring [ __ ]

158:02

>> I don't think that's a disease. I think

158:04

modern society has got people convinced

158:06

that's a disease.

158:07

>> I think that there Yes. I think most

158:09

people don't want to fold their laundry.

158:12

I think most people don't want to do

158:13

their taxes or go through their mail.

158:14

most. But for me, it hits me in a way

158:17

where like I feel a physical like

158:19

recoil. Like I genuinely like

158:22

>> You're allergic to boring [ __ ]

158:23

>> I'm allergic to boring [ __ ]

158:24

>> I don't think it's a bad thing at all. I

158:26

think they got you tricked. They they've

158:27

got all of us tricked. Yeah.

158:29

>> Everybody that I know and me included

158:31

that probably has ADHD or I think I can

158:33

go to a doctor, they figure out

158:35

something wrong with me. They they'd say

158:36

there's something wrong with you. You

158:38

could have got on pills when you were a

158:39

kid and it would have ruined all of it.

158:40

Yeah,

158:40

>> it would have [ __ ] up that weird gift

158:42

that you have where you can lock in. So,

158:44

what's the flip side of that weird gift?

158:46

The other thing doesn't seem important.

158:48

Other [ __ ] is boring, but you have way

158:51

more energy over the thing that's

158:52

exciting. It's a great point.

158:53

>> It's a superpower, dude.

158:54

>> It's a great point. And I, by the way,

158:56

I' I've said that specifically that my

158:57

ADHD is a superpower in certain regards.

158:59

the fact that I could get so locked in

159:01

on the things that I really really want

159:02

to do, but I've never really considered

159:04

the fact that like it's making me avoid

159:06

doing the things that just are [ __ ]

159:09

tedious, whatever. And by the way, I

159:11

figured it out. I still went down the

159:12

path. I'm 44 years old.

159:14

>> I get my [ __ ] done. I still the laundry

159:16

gets folded, the taxes get done, the

159:17

>> boring. Yeah.

159:18

>> Yeah. But that's discipline. Discipline.

159:21

>> That's all I was going to say. The

159:22

discipline part is like some people

159:24

can't,

159:24

>> right? or like how does it get done that

159:26

you know like

159:27

>> I mean I was like like a really bad

159:29

student like I just skin of my teeth

159:31

graduated

159:32

>> understand but the idea that this gift

159:34

that you have is what doesn't get

159:36

concentrated on the gift is you have an

159:39

extraordinary amount of energy that you

159:40

can devote to something you really love

159:43

most people wish they had that gift

159:46

>> the flip side of it of course the other

159:49

things aren't even remotely interesting

159:51

cuz you need to be stimulated in order

159:53

for give something all of your

159:55

attention.

159:56

>> Some people could just drone on and

159:58

drone on and they don't have ADHD. That

160:00

doesn't that's not good.

160:01

>> Yeah.

160:02

>> I think ADHD

160:03

>> made it made growing up pretty tough.

160:05

Like cuz you get peg you get you get you

160:08

called a bad kid.

160:11

I didn't get good grades.

160:14

I'm a millionaire and I had bad grades

160:16

when I was 12.

160:19

>> You're right.

160:19

>> You're not wrong.

160:20

>> No. Come on, dog. I know I'm right.

160:22

>> You're right. All right, let's wrap this

160:24

[ __ ] up. Uh, I got to get out of here.

160:26

So, Gas Digital, what else to tell
