00:00:05.000I was listening to some old-timey music the other day, and it was making me think of how depressing it would be if that was the only music that you could hear.
00:01:57.000I read that Ted Williams, the great baseball player, Ted Williams, who could hit a fastball, hit any kind of ball, and he apparently could read the label of a record as it was going around.
00:03:35.000It's like, oh, you've got this idea where someone can turn you into a Manchurian candidate if they hypnotize you and you wouldn't have control of your brain anymore.
00:03:45.000You're relaxing and you're open to suggestion in an interesting state of mind that you can achieve.
00:03:50.000See, I just think there's a larger spectrum Of the way the mind works then we give it credit for and I think what I've been thinking about this a lot that that's one of the things that happens with stand-up I think if you're on stage and you're killing and stand-up if I'm in the audience It's like you've got me hypnotized.
00:04:09.000I'm locked up into your line of thinking and Like your act is very silly So like when I'm watching you like I start thinking in silly ways And then you'll keep getting sillier and sillier and then like I'm locked into your head.
00:09:42.000But you have to also understand that Bo Jackson not only did whatever he wanted to you on the football field, faster than everybody at 245 and stronger, he was also a...
00:11:17.000Well, I mean, you know, not only are we going to live much longer if you have the money, but...
00:11:24.000The real question he ends the book with in a way is we have to decide as human beings for the first time in our history we can control our own evolution.
00:11:33.000So we have to ask ourselves what we want to become.
00:11:41.000Because that question can be answered.
00:11:44.000We will have the technology to answer that question.
00:11:47.000And it can get silly where you can say we could splice our genes with a lion or with a gorilla, but more importantly, we'll be able to splice our genes with synthetic biology and become...
00:12:19.000People go, you know how gross you are?
00:12:20.000You're fucking someone who's 50 years old.
00:12:22.000Like, as a human, we figured, look, we only think of ourselves as like, oh, you should have your shit together by 50. Because we know we only live to be 100. But the reality is most people don't get their shit together, period.
00:12:58.000Well, vampires fuck like 30-year-olds.
00:13:01.000Right, but we're talking about people, bro.
00:13:03.000Apparently not if we can live that long.
00:13:05.000No, if they figure out medical science, and this is not outside the realm of possibility, they can regenerate tissue and use stem cells to rejuvenate your body and you live 900 fucking years old, are you allowed to bang 50-year-olds?
00:13:52.000I wonder if you live to a certain age and cults just don't work anymore.
00:13:55.000I wonder if it only works up until you're 50 or 60 or 70, but if people live forever, it would be just like telling Santa Claus to a little kid.
00:14:03.000You tell Santa Claus to your five-year-old, they're like, whoa, Santa Claus is real.
00:14:06.000You tell Santa Claus to a 15-year-old, they're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:14:56.000And then you kind of get, you start, you know, you get to a certain age where you get good at something or you just start to do it enough and you go, there's a certain formula to success.
00:15:04.000Like sometimes, like, to be really good at something, there's a mindset for competition.
00:15:09.000But to be really good at something also just requires a shitload of repetition and good tutelage.
00:15:17.000And one of the things that you recognize in people when you see enough people that are really, truly awesome at something, you see enough of them, you start to recognize this thing.
00:15:27.000I especially can see it in musicians because I have zero talent.
00:18:09.000There's not going to be some soliloquies on your interpretation of consciousness as you know it versus the subjective view of the universe.
00:19:21.000They weren't sort of understanding and listening.
00:19:24.000They were rather telling the patient something.
00:19:26.000Those were the doctors, regardless of their errors or what they did, that had nothing to do with their degrees, didn't even have to do with what they did.
00:19:35.000Those were the ones that got sued for malpractice.
00:20:01.000I like to mix things up with what I take in and what I view, but I think that, like, audio books in particular, it's a great way to utilize, like, wasted time.
00:20:12.000Instead of listening to music, I always listen to...
00:20:14.000I listen to a whole course on Nietzsche.
00:20:16.000How crazy was that story in Blink about the artwork where they found this old statue and this art expert looked at it for a second and went, it's fake.
00:22:34.000And I think most of the problem that people have most of the time with each other is not talking, like today, and especially, not talking enough looking at each other in the eyes.
00:23:26.000Is this LOL? Can we look at each other?
00:23:28.000Because I bet we could work this shit out.
00:23:31.000That is the problem with reading sometimes about something and thinking you're getting the whole picture.
00:23:38.000What I like about Thaddeus Russell is that his book, A Renegade History of the United States, I think it's called, He actually takes a look at things that I've never heard.
00:25:02.000Some hot, dirty white girl with freckles.
00:25:07.000Apparently there was a lot of that, because what they would do is the Irish would come in, they were indentured servants, then you had the black slaves, and they'd dance.
00:25:15.000There'd be like these speakeasies, and everybody would mingle.
00:25:18.000It'd be late at night, black, beautiful black women, and the white dudes would be like, dude, these girls are hot.
00:25:24.000And there was mixing and everything else, and there was all kinds of shit like that.
00:25:28.000Remember, Slavery was being talked about as a great moral evil really back when this country was founded.
00:25:34.000What really kind of one of the things they say that kept slavery going another hundred years was the cotton gin.
00:25:41.000Was the fact that Eli Whitney invented a machine that made it fucking really, really easy to separate the seed from the cotton.
00:25:48.000And as a result, this guy comes up with a great invention.
00:25:51.000They were like, whoa, we got all this free labor down here.
00:26:01.000I'm not going to have my whole economies built on the fact that I got all this free labor and I'm making a fortune.
00:26:05.000So, you know, a lot of historians kind of talk about how Eli Whitney invented a machine that was really efficient but might have been responsible for keeping an entire group of people in slavery.
00:27:49.000And the government is doing their best to make CBDs being regulated by the FDA. They're all trying to stop CBD. There's people that are trying to stop CBD. It doesn't even have a psychoactive effect on you.
00:28:11.000I'm reading a lot of reports online of people testing CBD and it tests positive for THC. Greg Fitzsimmons talked about this.
00:28:17.000He said that he tried CBD oil and it got him high.
00:28:20.000I don't know what he used, which company he used, but the studies that I've read where people have actually got them tested, there is THC in some of them.
00:28:30.000So you've got to be careful, especially if you have some UPS job or somewhere.
00:29:08.000I think if you just give him regular CBD oil, I bet he'd be fine.
00:29:12.000It might not even just be the CBD oil.
00:29:13.000I've noticed some like head shops in states that it's not recreationally available.
00:29:18.000They're selling it in the same form as like dabs and concentrates and you smoke the CBD the same way you would smoke that heavy concentrated shit.
00:31:31.000I mean, we're definitely suffering from urban sprawl, but I was surprised to see how little, like the percentage of the continental United States that's actually inhabited, that actually has houses on it, was really small.
00:33:08.000And it became this big conspiracy theory where people would mock you for saying it was a conspiracy, and then Hannity ran with it, and so it became clearly, for a lot of people, the Seth Rich conspiracy theory that it was nonsense.
00:33:19.000Nobody knows what happened to that guy, though.
00:33:29.000But when WikiLeaks starts saying that you gave them information and that there's consequences to you giving them information, one of two things is happening.
00:33:39.000Either WikiLeaks has decided all of a sudden to start lying.
00:33:44.000Or two, they were misinformed and someone was pretending to be this guy and sending them information.
00:33:49.000It's always possible if they didn't meet face to face.
00:33:51.000Or three, they're telling you something you didn't know, that this guy who was just shot and murdered was leaking information about the DNC and now the DNC was corrupted by the Hillary Clinton group, which is what Donna Brazile is saying in her book.
00:34:07.000And that this guy released that and showed how the primaries were rigged against Bernie Sanders and that Hillary...
00:34:13.000Ari was sending me excerpts from it the other day.
00:34:15.000He's like, dude, Donna Brazile was saying that Hillary was in control of the DNC before the primaries.
00:34:20.000So is the implication that Hillary might have had something to do with his murder?
00:36:45.000So when someone comes at him with an idea, he has an idea and he's going to try to get that idea through.
00:36:50.000And when you come at him with some weak attacks on that idea and just expect that he's going to relinquish his hold on the idea, he's like, no, no, no, bitch.
00:37:00.000It's going to take someone giving him real, honest to goodness, impossible to deny information that he's going to believe in any of the conspiracies that he believes in being false.
00:37:34.000No, no, I'm usually skeptical of conspiracies, especially government conspiracies, because government is notoriously so completely out of sync and not efficient enough, and certainly there are so many different competing interests within government,
00:38:15.000But I do know that you're talking about, if you were trying to fake the moon landing, one of the things that would be much easier is during the Nixon administration, they were getting used to faking things.
00:38:25.000But they all got found out, though, because somebody talks.
00:38:28.000You're just starting to develop the kind of special effects abilities where you can sort of recreate space scenes, like 2001. That was the big conspiracy theorist dream, was that somehow or another there would be some irrefutable proof that Stanley Kubrick was the one who worked on the moon landing.
00:38:44.000That was like, if I had found that, I'd be like coming in my pants like, yes!
00:38:48.000But Eddie never acknowledges that the same impulse that drives him, which is really to find the truth and to be skeptical of people's claims and even evidence that's been written down.
00:39:23.000Here's another thing on the other side of it.
00:39:24.000Here's one of the reasons why the whole conspiracy thing is so attractive to people.
00:39:29.000Because there's a reward chain built into the human psyche of solving a problem that's presented in front of you that could potentially be dangerous.
00:41:30.000I don't know whether or not you could make the leap from being a person who could never kill somebody to being a person who doesn't have a problem with killing somebody.
00:41:38.000Maybe that's a chasm too far to cross.
00:41:42.000But I guarantee you, if you're the type of person that is having some horrible thoughts about being aggressive to people, and then someone puts you on something that makes you like, I don't give a fuck.
00:41:56.000Who knows what the right chemical is, too, right?
00:42:00.000If they give you the wrong one, maybe they'll switch you one way, or the right one, they'll turn you the other way, or maybe we should add some mobilifying to the mix.
00:42:08.000Maybe we should throw some of this in there.
00:42:10.000This is an anti-psychotic to help you all even out.
00:42:13.000Do you know you can have a lesion on your brain the size of the head of a pin?
00:42:17.000You can have a lesion, and if it's in the right, there's a specific area of the brain where it can be a tiny lesion that you can't see really barely with the naked eye, and it can render you a homicidal maniac.
00:42:35.000I could look it up for you, but where I heard it was in a lecture by Daniel Robinson, who is a professor at Oxford and Georgetown, and the smartest man on the planet.
00:42:46.000Well, that's why you have to really be careful when you're punching people in the head, right?
00:45:20.000I think, though, today, with the ability to film slave auctions on your cell phone and then stream that shit...
00:45:27.000I also think the more you learn about people and how how similar we all are and how you know Sam Harris had a really interesting TED talk about this about the idea that you you have to be able to have a conversation about what is the most optimal way to live for a human being what is the most optimal is it is it true that women are at their best when having to wear a full burqa in 120 degree heat that's a good question And by the way,
00:45:57.000are all opinions welcome at the table?
00:46:00.000Are you interested, I'm quoting Sam here, but are you interested in the Taliban's point of view on physics?
00:46:07.000And does someone who does, for that matter, and he talks about himself, is his point of view on string theory, which he knows nothing about, as valid as somebody who studies string theory?
00:47:25.000One of the things they say is Cortez was able to conquer the Aztecs a lot more easily because the Aztecs had neighbors that fucking hated them.
00:47:32.000Because the Aztecs would go in and basically if you weren't an Aztec, which means a person of the sun, you'd get sacrificed.
00:47:41.000So their neighbors were like, are you Spanish guys?
00:49:01.000I forget how do you say it, but I believe what they did was they built this fucking spectacular structure and then killed everybody who worked on it.
00:49:59.000Well, I think also one of the things you have to deal with when you're dealing with an English deciphering of really ancient Aztec and Mayan code is that it's phonetic.
00:50:10.000So, like, there's sounds that they made that they're trying to replicate with English words, but they weren't really designed for English lettering.
00:50:38.000Some of the Mayan languages were like images.
00:50:42.000Terence McKenna described it this way.
00:50:43.000He was like, you have an eyeball in a picture, and then you'd have a saw, and you'd have the bug, the ant, an ant, and then you'd have the flower, the rose.
00:50:54.000And that's how you would say, I saw Aunt Rose.
00:51:05.000Writing is some symbols that you make that correspond to certain sounds that we've all agreed in our own personal definitions that we have in societies.
00:51:16.000We've all agreed that this sound means a certain thing.
00:51:19.000And we argue the parameters of what that means.
00:51:21.000And that's why people get super offended when someone says it like...
00:53:43.000That's my problem when people, and we have a lot of people in our government, that look at a problem and go, oh, you're It's ISIS. What we need to do is get authorization to kill more of them in other places.
00:53:53.000So what you're talking about is groups that identify as ISIS and that's going to solve the problem.
00:53:56.000My problem with that typically is that it goes back to that one of my favorite sayings.
00:54:23.000Everyone has to know that they're real.
00:54:24.000That's one of the most important things about the elite forces of the government or of our military, is that people need to know they're real.
00:55:06.000Like, hey, the fucking world's gone crazy.
00:55:08.000Hey, they're selling slaves in the streets.
00:55:10.000Like, we need to all know that there are people that are in some really horrible parts of the world right now that can give you valuable information.
00:55:17.000Doesn't mean we should kill those people.
00:55:18.000Doesn't mean we should fucking nation build.
00:55:20.000But we need to be aware of the landscape.
00:55:27.000You need men like, you know, Tim Kennedy, etc., those guys who are our protectors, who we can push a button and go, hey, those fucking guys want it.
00:55:36.000And there are people out there that want to kill us, for sure.
00:55:37.000But I always think that it's also important to remember that those guys are doing that to protect the softer strengths in our community.
00:55:45.000The people that are creative, the people that are inventing.
00:55:48.000You can't have a doctor working on a cure for cancer and have the Mongols come over and smash all his fucking beakers.
00:56:07.000People in Libya, if Kevin Spacey had a TV show in Libya where he fucked all the grips right in the mouth before every episode, they would go, that's what he does.
00:57:01.000It's exactly what someone who doesn't know how to speak English would sound like.
00:57:04.000I would wish that I could speak Arabic so I could realize how fucking shitty my bad Arabic would be if I learned Arabic for a couple years and tried to talk to those people.
00:58:27.000He was just going to be one of the majors, and the president was having a cabinet meeting.
00:58:31.000And apparently, you can look this up, Jimmy, apparently he basically put a briefcase down or a suitcase down and just pulled out two guns and went, well, see you later.
01:02:24.000And I did one line of cocaine, Jamaican cocaine, and I was like, this must have fallen off a boat because this shit's got a yellow thing to it.
01:02:31.000And I was like, first of all, I'm the coolest motherfucker on the planet.
01:02:34.000Second of all, We're going to play ping pong for a good three hours.
01:02:37.000Third of all, then I'm going to go to my fucking hotel room, and I'm going to wake my girlfriend up and tell her that I'm a genius, and then, wait for it, I'm going to write for three, four hours, keep doing cocaine, and I'm going to change my career because I'm going to write a three-hour bit on how God is a Rastafarian.
01:02:59.000And she was like, I can't believe this.
01:03:02.000And I looked at it, then I passed out.
01:03:05.000Before my heart could give out and I looked at the shit I wrote about eight hours later and it was it was basically God's a Rasta and he speaks like a Jamaican and that was the joke and I thought it was brilliant when I was fucking doing the blow.
01:03:18.000Well in the right state of mind if you captured that idea like if you gave that bit to Dave Chappelle.
01:03:51.000Well, the argument was made when what killed the music after 1968 was, you know, the Monterey music, I mean, rock and roll festival with Hendrix and the Mamas and Papas.
01:04:01.000So what gave birth to that renaissance was marijuana and psychedelics.
01:04:58.000But there's a scene when they're in the pool where they're making love, Brian Callen.
01:05:02.000And if a girl was doing that, if you were having sex with a girl and she started doing that, you would immediately, and I know you, you're a pervert, you would still immediately call a doctor.
01:05:14.000You, as perverted as you are, as much as you love ladies, as much as you would be so excited to be that Kyle McLaughlin guy with Elizabeth Berkley and she's wrapped around and she's flopping around in the pool, you would call the police.
01:07:46.000What I'm saying is we just need to be super cognizant of the fact that there is a real highly likelihood that we have achieved the highest level of civilization the world has ever known.
01:08:03.000And any massive and any seemingly important thing that you want to go off on, you're taking energy away from recognizing the fact that we need to protect the crucial elements of this amazing thing that we have right now.
01:08:20.000And one of the things that we have to do is we've got to avoid this weird tribalism that I keep talking about.
01:08:50.000He gave a speech, I want to say it's in front of Congress, but he gave a speech where he was talking about how quickly we would set aside our differences if we were attacked by an alien force from another world.
01:09:16.000And the further we're away from that, the more we forgot.
01:09:21.000But if you just pay attention to Libya, just pay attention to Afghanistan, pay attention to Iraq, pay attention to all sorts of parts of the world, North Korea, things are not fucking stable at all.
01:09:32.000We're assuming that things are going to stay stable because they're stable right here.
01:09:36.000But we're all on the same goddamn planet.
01:09:42.000And I think we're better at figuring this out than we have ever been before.
01:09:46.000But there's a lot of hiccups and bumps along the way.
01:09:49.000But one of the things that's going to eliminate a good percentage of them is if we can isolate...
01:09:54.000Tribalism and see it when it's happening and call it for what it is and avoid it.
01:09:59.000It's very tough now though and I'll tell you why because there used to be one of the great people always talk about how religion was responsible for so much violence but they always forget religion was also responsible for a great deal of unification so there was a national narrative in this country We were a Christian nation for a long time in this country,
01:10:18.000There were just certain things that people collectively agreed upon, and usually it started in the church, or at least it had its values in the church.
01:10:26.000I would argue that even our constitution has been greatly influenced by the Judeo-Christian ethic.
01:10:35.000All men are created equal, for example, is a Christian idea.
01:10:38.000There's no way to prove it biologically or mathematically, but it's a nice starting point.
01:10:42.000It's literally what our justice system is predicated on.
01:10:46.000Even though LeBron James and I have totally different genomes and he's an avatar and we're not equal, if you kill me, you kill LeBron, you do the same amount of time in jail, theoretically.
01:10:55.000That would be the idea behind our thing.
01:12:24.000It's a real problem with the idea in execution.
01:12:27.000But the idea in the most romantic view possible is that we don't need to compete with each other, we don't need to be greedy, and that we can all share resources and wealth and we all get along and have income equality.
01:12:38.000But I think it's important to recognize the thought behind the best version of that.
01:13:14.000Remember that the idea, Adam Smith's idea, and the idea behind making money was also that when you are rich and when you are an aristocrat, you have a responsibility to give back to your community.
01:13:24.000That was very much ingrained in the British sensibility and even in the American aristocracy like the Kennedys in this country.
01:14:43.000So what happens is people, I think media's favorability is in the single fucking digits or something, like among most Americans.
01:14:50.000Let me give you an example how this works sometimes.
01:14:53.000Somebody wrote a good article about the debate that Eddie Bravo and I had about the world being flat, but the title of the article was, Joe Rogan argues with someone about the world being flat.
01:15:07.000So it seems like I was saying that the world is flat.
01:15:12.000So you immediately click it, but right away, the first sentence is, God bless Joe Rogan.
01:15:17.000And then he was in a conversation with his friend who was arguing about the possibility.
01:15:28.000But because of that, even though it's very insignificant, a bunch of people have said to me, bro, you used to believe the fucking earth was flat.
01:16:11.000Who I am right now, I'm an open-minded, friendly person that allows for all ideas.
01:16:17.000Keith Olbermann is as far left as you're gonna get and I like the fact that he was out there.
01:16:22.000I think having a wacky dude out there standing in front of a cable access show background with red on one side and blue on the other and he's got his notes in front of him and he's wearing a tie and he delivers these super eloquent Yeah.
01:17:33.000Said you know something about him being stupid some some funny thing That's also catty to say that you know stop being catty fucking bullshit I understand you don't like her because she's a hot girl That's a conservative and she says ridiculous shit sometimes and she does but like you gotta save your attacks You can't throw rocks at every target you can't stop for every dog that barks on the way home or you never get home and This is why George Washington talked about the importance of civility.
01:18:02.000If you start attacking each other, if I start, you know, I heard a rumor that Donald Trump in meetings when he was negotiating somebody, he'd go, oh, Jesus, your breath.
01:18:23.000You know, there are little techniques like that.
01:18:24.000I think Donald Trump would be super fun if he was like your uncle that you were going to take your girlfriend to when you first started dating.
01:18:31.000Like, say if you dated a girl and it's like three months in and you're in love and you're parked outside your uncle's house.
01:18:36.000You're like, listen, we're going to spark this joint and we're going to go meet my fucking crazy uncle.
01:19:25.000He doesn't like Trump, but basically said, he's very nice, very funny, and cracked him up.
01:19:32.000He looked at me and goes, how do you think I'm doing?
01:19:34.000And Cameron was like, I think you've got a lot on your plate.
01:19:37.000And then apparently he drove by, they were at his club in Key Largo or whatever, Mar-a-Lago, and these people were there, and he just walked, as they were driving by in the cart, he goes, do you guys have any idea how lucky you are?
01:22:18.000And I understand the strategies behind talking shit.
01:22:21.000And one of the strategies behind talking shit was that Hillary felt very confident that if she could get Donald into a position of being the primary candidate against her, she would have an easy path to the White House.
01:22:32.000Because she felt like Donald was so ridiculous that the other candidates, by even being associated with him in the same party, there would be revolt.
01:22:42.000And if he won, he'd be an easy target.
01:22:44.000And there's all this written banter back and forth where she was trying to connect him with the most ridiculous people.
01:22:51.000Like, of course, there was just all this strategy with Ted Cruz where they had this idea of how they would make them all look marginalized.
01:25:47.000One of the things the president always talks about, and governors talk about, is how little power they have.
01:25:51.000You say that, but there's real problems right now with the Environmental Protection Agency being defunded.
01:25:57.000There's real problems right now with them deciding to start drilling in places in Alaska that people have been fighting for them drilling for decades because they're worried that in extracting minerals from the ground they're going to ruin these salmon waterways.
01:26:09.000Well, he can appoint judges and he can appoint judges.
01:26:38.000We just have to be really careful, like really careful of getting tribal with this.
01:26:44.000Again, I hate to reiterate this, but I think that in looking at the group of humans as a whole, there's a real problem that on the left and on the right people have with getting attached to their particular ideology they've adopted and fighting against anything that's any different and not coming to some sort of a common understanding of what we really need to get by on this planet.
01:28:34.000Would you complain or would you put your hands on her hips?
01:28:39.000I'm going to be able to experience it, so then if I can interface with another brain, now we got a real problem, because what the fuck does that mean about my identity?
01:28:49.000What if you can't pick which brain you interface with?
01:28:53.000You're going to be a girl who has sex with LeBron James, but you're a 100-pound Irish girl.
01:29:08.000I don't think any of that's going to happen.
01:29:09.000I think what's going to happen is you're going to have guys like LeBron James who have these fantastic lives, who have sex and dunk basketballs, and they're going to sell their experience.
01:31:19.000I've actually never really had a gay impulse.
01:31:22.000We need to talk to Thaddeus Russell because he'll tell you you're a liar and that all men have some sort of gay fantasy somewhere deep in their head.
01:31:31.000Me and Thaddeus had a conversation about truth, like plural truths versus one fixed truth.
01:32:16.000You might be obsessed with the idea of being the one that can break them, that can be the one that tames them, the one that owns them, the one that gets them to forget about all other dick and just yours.
01:32:37.000But what really matter is the moments where you are together, where you truly care about each other, where the intensity is almost overwhelming, and the love and the happiness to be with each other is almost overwhelming.
01:32:56.000And whether or not you're committed to that person as a love, not just a love interest, but like as an inhabitant in your realm of truly loved ones.
01:33:09.000What is your village of truly loved ones?
01:33:12.000I have a cynical answer for you on that.
01:33:59.000Do you wanna live forever with no pussy?
01:34:00.000Pussy's the gateway, because you create kids!
01:34:03.000And your kids are your genetic expression.
01:34:06.000Ask anybody worth a fuck, do you want to live forever with no pussy, forever, or live for a hundred years and just live like Jay-Z on a yacht in gold underwear with two champagne bottles?
01:34:37.000If someone is in my circle of friends and somebody offers you immortality with no pussy or 100 years and pussy, if you don't take choice number two, lose my number.
01:34:52.000Sir, I would argue that your love of pussy might be genetically Like, you've evolved to...
01:34:58.000Your love of pussy is your love of pussy because you ultimately want to spread and further your DNA. Well, first of all, I think we're being very disrespectful, you particularly, of calling you pussy.
01:36:26.000In all honesty, if you had a choice between living like a hermit, like all bullshit aside, no jokes, living like a hermit, living like someone who occasionally interacts with people but doesn't have any real deep connection with them, or living like you're in like a wonderful community of people that you care about and drinking and carrying on and hugging each other and Laughing and joking around and waking up hungover and getting breakfast together.
01:43:18.000Murillo Bustamante, and he's 6'4", and he was at a food, there was like a food laid out, and you were like, that guy's one of the best jujitsu guys in the world, and I looked at him, he had that jaw, and I was just like, God.
01:43:30.000Remember Goaz out in Goaz saying that?
01:44:52.000Well, when you said you box and you do jujitsu and you have to because you'd be in jail otherwise, I went, oh, that guy speaks my language.
01:47:04.000Yeah, like the Chappelle show and a lot of these other shows, they had time to develop these sketches and they weren't doing them all in front of a live audience like Saturday Night Live does.
01:47:13.000I have friends who have been on Saturday Night Live, and that is a grueling schedule.
01:47:16.000They're up all night, man, coming up with ideas.
01:47:18.000It seems like, well, at least coming from Phil Hartman's explanation of it, he said it was very competitive.
01:51:36.000If I think coke should be legal, shouldn't I think that people should be able to take a pill?
01:51:41.000Well, I think your objection to that is that there's an entire industry making lots of money and making claims about those psychotic drugs, those drugs, those psychosomatic, whatever the word is, drugs.
01:51:53.000That maybe in many cases are not true.
01:51:57.000I'm sure that things like Prozac and Zoloft have their place.
01:52:44.000I think that people are too goddamn vulnerable and gullible.
01:52:47.000And when you have these commercials where there's people walking down the street and cartoon butterflies are flying around and they're all jolly and you're selling antidepressants and then you start listing off Explosive anal bleeding.
01:53:01.000Heart blowing out of your fucking chest like the Alien movie.
01:53:36.000It's entirely possible that 15 of those 30 seconds are going to be the consequences of you taking this drug.
01:53:41.000While you're looking at cartoon bunny rabbits and wheat flying through the air and everybody's smiling and there's a bunch of whistles and fucking piano and it seems like everybody's having a grand old time.
01:54:11.000Because if you could look at your team, your pharmaceutical team, as being you against everybody else, you could figure out a way to sell fucked up drugs to people that you really shouldn't I just have to say something because we're doing this podcast that my entire act right now my new hour is all about this and everybody who's seen me knows that this is true so I want to say this because you're talking about teams and tribalism the theme of my fucking next hour is exactly this how we break up into teams so I just don't want anybody to think that my next
01:54:41.000hour has been influenced by this fucking podcast because I love that you're thinking about the same thing I am I think a lot of people are thinking about this now because as we're running into this weird situation where we realize that You know, our democracy is in some weird way being examined.
01:55:01.000But it's being examined by people that are looking at it from all sorts of different angles in an unprecedented manner, right?
01:55:07.000And we're looking at the influence that Russia might have had and all this Bernie Sanders is going to run in 2020. There's so much going on right now that's at this intense, incredibly high level.
01:55:18.000That we're all sort of like caught up in this thing trying to figure out what's going to happen next.
01:55:24.000It's also we're having really trouble knowing what to believe.
01:56:06.000That's, to me, one of the biggest things.
01:56:09.000And when you add that to clickbaitiness, it gets to be a real problem.
01:56:13.000It creates cynicism, and it creates paranoia, and it creates the idea that I can't rely on the institutions I used to be able to rely on.
01:56:21.000Yeah, and there's also been an observed strategy of really inflated headlines that get altered later.
01:56:28.000You know, they say something completely ridiculous, it's not really represented by the facts, and then they tone it down when people complain, but they got all the initial hits.
01:57:10.000I read that a long time ago, but he basically talks about how language, if you learn how to manipulate language, it is very beneficial, man.
01:58:57.000Yeah, and I read that Google memo twice.
01:58:59.000And what's interesting is a lot of evolutionary psychologists and biologists basically said, well, what he was saying was just drawing on empirical evidence based on how, for example, A 48-year-old, a 48-month-old infant female and a 48-month-old male will look at two,
01:59:18.000if you give them a choice between looking at something moving and a human face, typically the female, the 48-hour-old female, will look at the face, the human face.
01:59:27.000The boy will look at the moving object.
02:02:47.000But if you lived 800 years, this is what I think about.
02:02:49.000I don't think about developing that much understanding.
02:02:51.000I feel like I'd be like, all right, well, I guess I'll start the drums and then the guitar and then the piano and I'll master those as well.
02:02:58.000And I would just figure out all the skills I'd master.
02:03:01.000Let me tell you what you would be at 80 or 800 years old.
02:03:17.000Well, an older woman, because you're 800. They're going to look hot as fuck, and they're still going to be kind of spiritual, but not really religious.
02:04:53.000What you're gonna learn from someone, you're never gonna learn from them sitting down saying, listen, you gotta learn from me.
02:04:58.000What you're gonna learn from someone is by example.
02:05:00.000What you're gonna learn from someone is by someone out there following a lead that you know is difficult and achieving things that you think are very hard to achieve.
02:05:08.000And you watch that and you go, okay, what you got to do is you got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
02:06:48.000You know, what's interesting now is that people that don't have access to good guidance and tutelage still have access to online good guidance and tutelage.
02:06:53.000I was going to say, you got the Gracie University, you got YouTube, you got Hanzo Gracie giving you a little thing.
02:08:06.000And I don't trust a lot of people either.
02:08:09.000But you have to trust the people that are scientists that are all agreeing that if a fucking jet engine that's heated up goes through condensation in a certain atmosphere, it creates artificial clouds.
02:08:19.000It's called being responsive to evidence?
02:08:27.000It's very important if you're going to get anywhere with any of this stuff.
02:08:29.000Especially when it's on your wrist and in your hand.
02:08:31.000And you're going to have to figure out.
02:08:32.000Especially when you're listening to it like this.
02:08:33.000There's science, measurable science that works, right?
02:08:36.000So the science that goes into your earphones, that goes into the vaccines and antibiotics that push you beyond your biology...
02:08:42.000The science that gets food, fresh food in front of you, all that shit, is you're benefiting from that, and usually the science that you don't believe in is the same science you're actually using to speak into.
02:08:56.000Well, yeah, that's the argument we were having yesterday, that it's so ridiculous that anybody would have an issue with the highest minds in the world deciding whether or not things are real and things are not real and what is and what isn't.
02:09:09.000Well, he thinks somebody's getting paid or something.
02:10:53.000Yeah, he's a bad motherfucker, and he's got a rooster tattooed on his ribs.
02:10:56.000Yes, he does, and it was funny, because he came to my show, and then the next day, I got in the ring with him, and he put grease on me, and we're just doing little things with gloves, and when you, for a man like me, who's basically 170 pounds and nothing compared to...
02:11:13.000And when you feel that a man who's been throwing bodies around his whole life and punching, and it's been his life, and he's probably about 220, maybe 230, and he's a little heavier than when he used to fight, but the strength and just the density of his body as you're fucking trying to do anything and he just moves you,
02:11:31.000he kind of shucks you around with his hips.
02:19:34.000Dom Irera is a guy that's still swinging.
02:19:38.000Like, you know, we all have this idea that a certain comedian age, like when you get into your 60s, you're not going to write new material anymore.
02:22:54.000I wonder what it would take him, I mean, now that he had that big crazy fight at the fight where he jumped over the fence and pushed the referee, Mark Goddard, I wonder what it would take to get him back in the cage now.
02:23:06.000I wonder if there's gonna be fines and suspensions.
02:23:08.000I wonder what the fuck is gonna happen.
02:25:00.000Super athlete women and just carry you everywhere.
02:25:03.000Do you think he fights Tony Ferguson or does he fight Manny Pacquiao?
02:25:07.000He used to be not the move, but I think Tony Ferguson, like I think Eddie Bravo had a real good point about it when he and me and Brendan talked about it.
02:25:13.000I think Tony Ferguson is the right move as far as for the fans.
02:25:29.000The Habib Nurmagomedov fight, you've really got to see Habib fight somebody else first.
02:25:34.000And the Nate Diaz fight, although it could be huge, Nate's not really fighting anybody right now.
02:25:40.000What I would like right now, this is my thought, I think if Nate comes back and fights someone and wins, Conor fights someone and wins, Conor has a boxing match, they have a HUGE MMA fight after that.
02:27:15.000The fact that he came back and beat Nate, because I said to Brennan after I saw him lose the first time, I go, Nate's just too big for him.
02:27:55.000Khabib needs to fight at 170. Well, you say that, but he's got a new nutritionist, and Cormier was telling me that he's having way less problems with his weight now.
02:28:42.000He's one of the most impressive grapplers I've ever seen in MMA. His ability to take guys who are very good, like Rafael Dos Anjos, and just sort of ragdoll him.
02:30:14.000But it has something with him saying that someone was wrongly accused.
02:30:18.000They were trying to get him to confess.
02:30:19.000But the point is, this is a UFC number one contender, or at least number two, in the lightweight division, one of the most talent stacked divisions in the world.
02:30:27.000And he's posting stuff on his page about how hard...
02:32:27.000Like those wrestlers like that, like, you know, when you tussle with a guy who's been doing it his whole life, he can tap you if you're a regular guy by putting his weight on you after a while.
02:35:21.000Apparently what they're saying is that he thought that he could make it across the tracks, and that if he waited, the train takes like 10 minutes to go.
02:37:15.000I think one of the things that I mean when you're talking about in These the fucking athletes that we're dealing with today, you know, you're talking with like what they're experiencing I think with medical science I bet like in 50,
02:37:31.00060 years, we're gonna be looking back and they're gonna be going, God damn, man, these people couldn't even take blah blah blah to fix their problem.
02:37:38.000They couldn't even go to the blah blah blah machine to fix their brain.
02:38:14.000Yeah, but it's also that you, as a scientist, the way he looks at things, I mean, he's boiling things down to the fucking, the very atomic level.
02:38:22.000And he's essentially saying that your behavior has been determined by your environment, by your genes, by the experiences that you've had, by all the things that you've learned.
02:38:32.000Your prefrontal cortex may not be developed because you grew up poor and under a lot of stress.
02:39:25.000You can have an operation on your heart and it changes your whole personality.
02:39:28.000Well, there's one thing about that, that Dr. Mark Gordon, you know Mark Gordon, he actually did a paper on post-traumatic surgeries, like open-heart surgeries, and the effect it has on depression and perhaps suppression of your body's ability to produce hormones.
02:39:49.000There's something about being under anesthesia for long periods of time with very complicated operations that leaves people uniquely depressed afterwards.
02:39:58.000Yeah, and he was telling me about this after the whole Robin Williams things happened, because Robin Williams got sick, he had a heart condition, he had heart surgery, and then he eventually wound up committing suicide.
02:40:10.000And he's like, I'm not saying it's the reason why Robin Williams did that, but there is absolutely some connection between this compromised hormonal system and depression, and between a compromised hormonal system and long operations while under anesthesia.
02:41:44.000Listen, man, if you think I didn't have a long conversation with Mr. Justin Dees, who is Phil Heath's trainer, was, and he's a Mr. Olympia guy.
02:42:58.000Probably into orcas too, being in pools.
02:43:00.000This, what we just highlighted, is the real problem with the social justice warrior movement, is they eat their own to try to take away any sort of blame on themselves.
02:43:08.000I just think the left, the illiberal left, has lost their sense of humor.
02:43:44.000And he basically is at Columbia University, and he was like, this place, you got fucking students that can report you blindly, and you get called up in front of a whatever.
02:44:59.000IDSX. We need IDSX. Do you remember that thing at University of Missouri where that woman, that guy was an Asian young student photographer, and this woman came over and she was yelling at him to stop taking photographs because they had created a safe space?
02:50:07.000You know, there's a lot of people that felt sort of like, also when they found out that Bruce Jenner then became Caitlyn Jenner and then after that didn't believe in gay marriage.
02:56:05.000Obviously, Jiu Jitsu is a whole world, and it's really difficult, but there's something about boxing at my age I guess I like because it's...
02:57:12.000And you learn patterns, and then pretty soon you learn these patterns, you start practicing, then you go against a guy who doesn't box a lot, and you look good.
