Rolls Royce's Starfield Ceiling is cool, but what's cool about it is that it looks like a shooting star. The guys discuss this and much more on this week's episode of the Ballercast. Plus, the guys talk about their favorite cars growing up in the 60s and 70s, and the cars they were obsessed with growing up. They also talk about what cars they would like to see in the future, and why they don't care about cars at all. Also, the boys talk about how they met and fell in love with Phil Hartman and his love of cars, and what it means to be a "baller." Thanks to our sponsor, for sponsoring this episode!

00:02:07.000I wish I paid attention to cars back then, but back then was when I just started getting on TV. I really didn't...
00:02:13.000You know, when I was broke, I always loved cars when I was a kid, but then I was broke, my attitude was like, don't think about some shit you're never going to be able to afford.
00:03:07.000I wish I could remember, because like I said, back then, like if you asked me to, like, there's cars that I don't know shit about, like Rolls Royces or Bentleys, but if you showed me like an old Porsche, I'd be like, oh, that's a 73 Long Nose.
00:03:25.000I could pick them out in a lineup, but...
00:03:27.000Well, Bentley and Rolls-Royce are a weird one because they have sort of this intertwined history where they were separate and then they became together and then they became separate again.
00:03:34.000So there's a lot of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys that are mostly the same car.
00:03:41.000That's like super baller level where you're like, okay, forget about it.
00:03:45.000Let's just get a car that makes no sound like you can't hear anything.
00:03:55.000To a lot of car guys, especially, like, you know, you are such, like, a manual transmission, you know, you want your car, I know you, you want your car to be, like, really close to a race car.
00:05:43.000And the idea is to keep that gauge low, because you want to be able to pass cars and cruise down the road while using, meh, 25% of this car's engine power.
00:11:36.000What we were talking about is just so amazing that the horsepower wars, because of their steady increase every year, you know, you come out with a 2018 Corvette, people expect it to be faster.
00:18:59.000I was driving down the road in a video that's been viewed about three million times and a guy was dragging a log on like a 50-foot chain behind a Ford Explorer.
00:19:36.000But you know what else is like tires is a big difference too.
00:19:40.000Like, you know, old Porsches used to be called widow makers and shit, but you take one of those old 70s turbo Porsches that, you know, there's volumes about how scary they are to drive and you put them on Michelin Pilot Supersports and you're like, oh, You thought 300 horsepower was scary.
00:21:41.000And, I mean, not that we need to, like, you know, go back in the video, but see that, like, trail of whatever it leaves on the road there?
00:21:49.000Like, that trail, I had noticed starting, like...
00:21:53.000A couple, like, half a mile or so before that on the road, and the trail is going back and forth across both lanes of traffic, and there was like a couple little signs down.
00:24:34.000You're getting your cardio in, but your body's not getting beat up.
00:24:37.000And in 45 minutes, I'll burn, according to the machine, I don't know how accurate these machine counters are, but I'll burn like 850 calories in 45 minutes.
00:24:45.000And then I do three days a week of weight training for an hour.
00:24:48.000So you're getting in daily doubles three days a week?
00:27:29.000What is the difference between a hot stone massage and a regular massage?
00:27:32.000The air pockets that get inflated, like, you know, it's like behind the seat, the leather, there's like these pockets of air, like old Reebok pumps, right, where I will pump them up and inflate them and deflate them in sequence, right, to simulate kneading or whatever it is.
00:27:48.000Well, the Mercedes S-Class heats those pockets, so they're actually...
00:28:43.000It's amazing that we are in this time where the technology has gotten to this level where cars, they're working so hard to improve upon what is already ridiculous.
00:29:27.000Because what you don't want to ever have is a situation where you summon your autonomous pod and you say, take me to wherever, and it goes, no, Joe.
00:29:38.000We're not going there today because of some political situation.
00:31:01.000So it's just drifty woods oversteer, and you know that rear engine kind of snapback thing that everyone's all afraid of in 911s, the pendulum thing?
00:31:13.000Well, you get that when you slide, and then it catches and comes back.
00:32:36.000And he also, I love the little things he did like make the exhaust come through the rear bumper and those funky wheels on it and the fact there's no carpeting at all.
00:32:45.000Like everything inside was stripped away.
00:32:47.000His Instagram is Emotion Engineering and that car has been through a few changes since this video was made.
00:33:33.000Well, you sent me that whole thing of the price difference between a 911 engine, air-cooled engine that's got 200 horsepower versus one that's got 500 horsepower.
00:33:50.000Yeah, so it was like, okay, to buy an engine, just an engine on a stand, you want that engine, this is a Porsche air-cooled, so a Porsche engine for a Porsche that is earlier than 1995. 300 horsepower is going to run you about $40,000.
00:34:10.000And that's a ton of money for not a lot of horsepower.
00:34:13.000400 horsepower will run you about $100,000.
00:34:18.000I mean, that's an engine on a stand, nothing else.
00:34:22.000You want 500 horsepower out of that motor, it's $250,000.
00:36:56.000And I think, if I had to guess, they put those over fender lines on the rendering so you would specifically notice that they have widened it.
00:37:06.000And if I had to guess, the final car may not actually have a seam there.
00:40:20.000Isn't it funny, though, that there's something unbelievably appealing about those air-cooled cars that is willing to have these rich people pay a million dollars, or at least the current thing is a half million dollars for this car, just because you feel it more.
00:40:35.000When you drive it, it's just got a feel to it.
00:40:54.000There's a weird thrill, even when you're not even driving fast.
00:40:57.000Especially with a Porsche, when you have no power steering combined with front engine car, it sucks.
00:41:03.000No power steering when the engine's in the back is okay, because the front of the car is pretty light, so you don't need too much muscle.
00:41:10.000But the 911 steering is just super, super direct.
00:41:14.000Yeah, it's super direct, and it's just, I don't know, man.
00:41:17.000It just feels like a different thing you're doing.
00:41:20.000I had a buddy that had a Volkswagen Bug growing up.
00:41:24.000Didn't have a lot of power in it, but those Volkswagen bugs, those fucking things, like when you drive them around, they give you a little smile on your face.
00:41:32.000Because you're driving like this little tiny thing that feels completely connected with the road.
00:41:44.000The ultimate Volkswagen is they're taking, in Germany, they take the buses, the micro buses, and they chop them down so they're compressed, and they put full Porsche floor pan drive train.
00:41:56.000And so, remember that 996 turbo you had?
00:43:08.000You need to have, like, I get that it's about feel, and yeah, 912s have feel, but at a certain point, there has to be some pace associated with your sports car.
00:43:17.000Now, when they made those cars, it was the same shell on the outside as a 911?
00:43:21.000Yeah, yeah, they just, like, decontented it, you know, cheapened everything, and then put the old engine in it.
00:43:28.000And like put a crazy 993 engine in it and do all the suspension, it would still be a 912. Isn't that weird?
00:43:36.000There's people that convert 912s sort of into 911s all the time.
00:43:54.000The difference with Porsche people, I mean, the difference between $40,000 and $400,000 will be the most minute, insignificant bullshit.
00:44:05.000Oh, this one was delivered with, you know, leather-covered vents and a leather-covered fuse box and a fucking fuchsia steering wheel, and it had the lightweight glass.
00:44:16.000So that one's $400,000 and that one's $40,000.
00:44:23.000This was one of four delivered in plum crazy and an automatic transmission on a Tuesday with a white roof and a cum stain in the backseat from the factory.
00:44:33.000I love those auctions where you see the greed in people's eyes just going off.
00:44:38.000The funny thing is when people get in a bidding war and overpay for something by 40 grand and still feel like they won.
00:45:14.000Jet turbine-powered fan boats that you could buy.
00:45:20.000It's like the auction, and then a mile of swap-meaty shit.
00:45:25.000And you could buy custom-made cowboy boots, and Tempur-Pedic beds, and home furnishings, and terrible art, and watches, and massage chairs.
00:47:23.000Bro, I went to my actual 10-year high school reunion in an orange Lamborghini as a goof, and there was literally not a single soul outside when I parked it up front.
00:54:49.000Everything is faster, more efficient, but less involved and less mechanical.
00:54:54.000And at the same time, you've got, especially with Porsche, a younger audience, a very wealthy audience that has really decided to use the older collector cars as a currency that you can drive and investments.
00:55:11.000There's a lot of rich people out there right now.
00:55:14.000And they're not making any more 1973, 9-11s.
00:55:17.000That's one of the things that people have a real problem with Singer, is they're taking those cars and they're chopping them the fuck up.
00:55:28.000Yeah, they're taking a $100,000 car and turning it into a $500,000 car that if you can get on the list and get one and you take it home, it's immediately worth $700,000 on the open market.
00:56:36.000I bought, you know, I'm doing this Safari thing, but I bought my 87 Carrera and it's stock, and I almost didn't want to start modifying it because it was just such a nice thing to drive around.
01:00:49.000Well, think about what they did with the GT-R. When Nissan came out with the GT-R. The newest one, yeah.
01:00:56.000Dude, I've only driven one of those twice.
01:00:58.000But one time when I drove one, the most remarkable thing about it was I was taking a turn to hit an off-ramp, and I was like a little late.
01:01:19.000It's calculating how much mass is leaning this way and adjusting to flatten everything out electronically.
01:01:25.000So actually, the new Acura NSX, that's like the supercar-y one, it's like $150,000, does that same thing that the GT-R did in 2009, but it does it much more seamlessly so you think you did it.
01:03:38.000But it seems like if you were to list off, like, the checkboxes of things that you personally enjoy, it seems like it does actually tick most of those boxes.
01:03:59.000It's such a ridiculous thing to build.
01:04:01.000Well, what's so American about it is that rather than, you know, Porsche developing this insane gearbox, you know, that can shift in a microsecond and Nissan doing this crazy fucking all-wheel drive system and, you know, whoever Acura doing their torque vectoring electric motors,
01:05:58.000So, to get one of the new Ford GTs, It's what's called a homologation race car.
01:06:05.000So they wanted to go win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a certain class, the LMGTE class.
01:06:11.000In order to race in that class, it has to be a street car.
01:06:16.000So you have to build a certain number of street cars.
01:06:18.000You can't just build a dedicated race car.
01:06:20.000That would be called the prototype class.
01:06:23.000So they had to build, I think the number is 499. It's 400 and something, 450, 499, whatever it is.
01:06:29.000Ford decides that the demand will outstrip the supply, and rather than highest biddering or whatever, they make you apply.
01:06:38.000So you have to be a social media star or a celebrity or someone.
01:06:45.000You had to tell them why you should have a Ford GT and what you were going to do with it and how you were going to share your Ford GT with the world.
01:09:51.000The engine, the body, anything that is sprung on the suspension.
01:09:57.000Unsprung weight is weight on the car that is not sprung on the suspension.
01:10:00.000So wheels, brake rotors, tires, suspension components that aren't sitting on the suspension, right?
01:10:08.000So it's like a rough calculation, but like roughly one pound of unsprung weight Will translate the feeling of five pounds of sprung weight.
01:10:22.000So meaning like if you are able to pull 20 pounds of unsprung weight out of your car, each wheel is five pounds lighter than a stock wheel, okay?
01:10:32.000So you're now about 20 pounds unsprung weight out of your car, your car will feel like you pulled 100 pounds out of it.
01:10:38.000And it will stop, start, accelerate, turn better than Commute totally.
01:10:47.000So to go from a forged aluminum wheel, which is 23 or 24 or 25 pounds a wheel, to a carbon fiber wheel that's like 11 pounds a wheel, You're pulling so much unsprung weight out of the car,
01:11:04.000it'll feel like, you know, swinging a baseball bat with a weight on it and then just throwing that weight away.
01:13:23.000It's unlike anything else on the road, because even...
01:13:27.000Even the very, very high-end supercars, you know, your Lamborghini Aventadors that are $400,000 and your V12 Ferraris and all that stuff, are fundamentally, they're road cars.
01:13:38.000And even when they go racing with them, they sort of take the road car and modify it for racing.
01:13:43.000This is so clearly a race car that they had to build some street cars, you know.
01:16:13.000Road car and it was let's make the best road car we can make and so it wasn't a particularly successful race car but as a road car it was just glorious the ride and the power and The style and the sound and you know, it's they had to develop that car very quickly I think the last time I was on this show we were talking about four GT's and you know so everything's over built so you can run like double stock horsepower and you can run almost 280 miles an hour in the fucking mile and these things on stock aero and Well,
01:16:41.000people do crazy shit with them, like put twin turbos in them and stuff.
01:19:51.000Like you get on the highway on a Saturday night, just heading into LA on a Saturday night, and you're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for no reason.
01:20:16.000Dude, you know, when you go to another city, like if you go to a big city like Seattle, and you're there with them and they complain about their traffic, you go, first of all, shut the fuck up.
01:20:51.000Well, you know, it's like those dudes like Magnus Walker who lives in downtown LA with his dreadlocks and his garage and his warehouse district.
01:21:31.000They apparently have, depending upon the magnitude of the earthquake, which is really scary, because the higher magnitude possibility, the more time you have.
01:23:36.000I don't think it's I don't think it's sustainable like this number of people that are There's never been a time ever in human history where we've had masses of people crammed into areas like we have today in our urban areas you mean?
01:23:52.000Modern America, modern Mexico City is like that, jammed up.
01:23:56.000There's quite a few places that are, like, the population number is higher now than it's ever been in recorded human history.
01:24:02.000And so the population of these cities is higher than it's ever been.
01:24:05.000We've never had, like, we've never had 20 million people in a city before in America like we do in L.A. What's that, Jamie?
01:24:12.000States with a smaller population than Los Angeles County.
01:24:24.000I think, but this is like on the 10 to 11 million official count.
01:24:28.000So we're looking at this map, and it's one tiny little area of California, and it has more people in it, if it was a state, than almost every fucking state, except Florida.
01:24:39.000And Texas and New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois.
01:27:39.000The new M5, you know, is all-wheel drive, and the new AMG E63 is all-wheel drive, and you can electronically disconnect the all-wheel drive through a button in both of them.
01:32:18.000I mean, you would take it out on Sunday, and then you'd go fuck this car, and then you would drive something that you could actually drive.
01:32:24.000Because part of the thrill of driving is the interaction with the road, right?
01:32:28.000And, like, those cars are not interacting very well.
01:33:23.000And if you go to Detroit, it's just fucking potholes and it's straight lines, and so, of course the cars would ride like shit, or would float around and not handle, because there isn't a corner for 300 miles.
01:33:43.000Yeah, it's a totally different animal.
01:33:45.000These closed-minded morons built cars for their own city and sold them all over the world with no regard to the fact that they didn't work for shit in Italy or anywhere with corners in it.
01:35:33.000That watch is called a Rattrapante, which is also known as a split-seconds chronograph.
01:35:39.000So it's actually two chronographs laid on top of each other, so it would be used to measure the time differential between, say, two cars on a racetrack.
01:38:39.000There's a car analogy here, because this is your meat vehicle, and the difference between having a 500 horsepower engine and a 125 horsepower diesel is literally how you take care of yourself.
01:38:51.000And you can turn your body into a race car.
01:39:20.000The difference with this one is, I wanted to do it, every time I've done it in the past, it has drastically interrupted my day-to-day life.
01:39:27.000It's like either you go to fat camp and do it, or whatever, you know?
01:39:59.000My big problem wasn't that I ate badly.
01:40:02.000It's that I would eat big meals spaced very far apart.
01:40:05.000And so my body would go into, like, storage mode.
01:40:08.000But now I try and eat smaller meals and more of them, and it seems to work much more efficiently.
01:40:13.000Well, everybody's body's different, but for the most part, one of the biggest, most significant things you can do is cut out most sugar and cut out most refined carbohydrates.
01:40:48.000I've done the Atkins-style, caveman-y, whatever you want to call it, you know, all protein and fat, cut out the vegetables and cut out the carbs.
01:42:01.000If I get spaghetti with meatballs with grated Parmesan cheese over it, if I'm fucking digging in on that on whatever, Friday night, like, ah!
01:42:10.000Just let yourself enjoy the shit out of it.
01:42:30.000The other thing is your body, if you get into that habit, your body won't be craving those things anymore because a lot of the reason why you crave it is because of your gut bacteria that's being supported by that diet.
01:42:39.000And then you sort of, like, go into gut bacteria withdrawals that makes you want more and blah, blah, blah.
01:47:50.000What happened was, in the past, the only reason people hunted was for meat.
01:47:56.000You barely could stay alive anyway, and when you went on a hunting party, you didn't go for sport, you went to go to kill things.
01:48:02.000When you have so much food that you don't need to worry about food, and you've already been shooting all these animals, then they start doing these things called slams.
01:48:11.000They call it doing super slams or the grand slam.
01:50:34.000And it's a way bigger continent than North America.
01:50:36.000We've seen pictures of the United States stuck in the middle of Africa.
01:50:39.000Fucking huge and he's like unfortunately there's places in Africa where they have overpopulations of elephants and they encroach on human civilization and they do have to hire hunters to come in and do it and kill them or they don't hire them the hunters pay and The money goes straight to the village the meat goes to the village and people get very excited about people hunting these elephants It probably seems like a short-term solution to the village,
01:51:59.000And the people that live up there, especially people that have been mauled or know people that have been mauled, they're like, hey, we fucked in enough.
01:52:35.000I was talking to my friend Cam Haynes about this this weekend.
01:52:38.000When I say trophy hunting, I'm even talking about normal hunting for meat, like impalas or elands, these big game animals that people hunt because they're delicious.
01:52:59.000All the money that would come from people hunting there would sustain these local areas, sustain these lodges, so it would make it viable to keep these animals alive, and stop poachers.
01:53:11.000Oh, because it funds the anti-poaching, right?
01:56:57.000But they talk about the giant tortoises, and there were potentially a half a million of them on the islands, and it went down to like one.
01:57:08.000Like, they found, like, the last one, and they tried to breed it.
01:57:12.000There's, like, three varieties of tortoises, and one of them got down to one, and they tried to save it, and they couldn't save it, and now it's, like, you know, embalmed and fucking taxidermied on the Galapagos Islands.
01:57:23.000But, you know, these giant tortoises that lived at 200, but all the passing ships would just, like, grab a few of them, and they'd eat them on the ships, and they completely decimated the entire population.
01:57:44.000And then the whole rest of the islands, what's crazy about them is nothing's been hunted there in forever, so the wild animals have no problem with people.
02:00:36.000Many people, including the plan's orchestrators, had misgivings about such a large-scale slaughter of goats.
02:00:41.000However, the decision was made that the Galapagos ecosystem, under threat found nowhere else on Earth, was valuable enough to justify their actions.
02:06:49.000So they're up there with machine guns gunning down these wild pigs out of helicopters.
02:06:57.000And part of you is like, they shouldn't be able to do this.
02:07:00.000But part of you is like, they have to do this.
02:07:02.000Because if they don't do this, then these things keep breeding and there's more of them.
02:07:05.000If they don't eradicate the numbers, what's to stop these things from just spreading across the entire country and becoming a real problem?
02:08:54.000There's a weird relationship going on with people and animals.
02:08:57.000But that, to me, in modern world, is one of the weirder aspects.
02:09:01.000Flying around a helicopter, gunning down...
02:09:05.000Feral pigs that destroy cop crops cause billions of dollars in damage and are spreading across the entire country What else do you do?
02:09:12.000No, it just seems so unfair 100% unfair but the question is is it unfair if you're jogging through the woods and a bear eats you is that unfair that seems unfair to probably also unfair I mean you're barely levels of unfair barely able to just sustain a nice pace and go jogging if you got a run from a bear Just trying to drop a few LBs.
02:10:47.000Are they going to hit 1,000 horsepower on a regular car that people can buy?
02:10:52.000Yes, yeah, you know who will probably do it first actually in terms of like a quote regular car with a thousand horsepower would probably be Electric like an electric car because it's so easy to make that power look at that thing.
02:11:06.000Holy shit Yeah, it's aggressive and you see they had to put this monster power bulge in the hood there in the center and So, you know, this Corvette Z06 was out before, and it was very fast, 650 horsepower.
02:11:20.000But it had this issue where it was heat soaking, wherein, like, you'd lose power because the supercharger would develop so much heat.
02:11:29.000And it was a small supercharger to fit under the low hood, because the low hood is sort of a thing for Corvette.
02:11:38.000And the way to make more power while also creating less heat...
02:11:42.000Is to use a bigger supercharger and spin it slower.
02:11:46.000As opposed to a smaller one that spun faster.
02:11:49.000So they had to put a bigger one, which raises the hood.
02:14:32.000I'm by myself, I'm free, I'm just driving around.
02:14:35.000You know how you can tell someone's a real bad driver?
02:14:37.000It's a really surefire way to tell someone's a terrible driver.
02:14:40.000If they've got a convertible, and they put the windows down, but the front windows go down, and the little back windows stay up, like a 3 Series BMW, where they don't notice those little rear windows are just still up by themselves.
02:14:53.000That's how you can tell someone's a bad driver, never checks their blind spots.
02:14:57.000Well, even when you're driving a convertible with the windows up, like, stop.
02:16:47.000It has one engine, and it has four transmissions coming off of that engine, all of which come back together to make it the car one-wheel drive.
02:17:44.000You can't just build, unless you're Singer and you're making something custom.
02:17:47.000Well, the Singer is what, that example is what the mechanical watch kind of industry is, you know, they position it as a luxury item from a time gone by sort of thing, you know?
02:18:03.000Whereas, actually, if you want to talk about innovation, this right here is a Grand Seiko, which has a movement called a spring drive movement in it, and it is one of the most advanced and unique mechanical movements available in a watch today.
02:18:52.000Yeah, I mean, and I have what is called the display back on this, so you can see the movement in the back and how high the level of finish is.
02:19:00.000And you've got sapphire and titanium, and so the spring drive movement is...
02:19:07.000Without getting crazy, crazy nerdy about it, is actually a true innovation in mechanical watchmaking.
02:19:13.000So run the chronograph on the front, the top button.
02:19:16.000Watch the sweep of the chronograph hand, the big second hand.
02:20:37.000Whereas the hours do not sweep by slowly.
02:20:40.000At 59 and 59 seconds, the hours click over right fast.
02:20:44.000So it's a jump hour as opposed to a slow-moving hour.
02:20:49.000Now, he designed the look or did he design the internals?
02:20:52.000He designed the look, the face, the complications, and he worked with a Swiss watchmaker to design an actual unique movement to use for this watch.
02:24:59.000And look, I mean, look, on top of the crazy artistry of this and the ridiculous price and the jewels and all that stuff, the mathematics of that machine work.
02:25:08.000That is not, that's not just like that for nothing.
02:25:11.000That does like moon phase, you know, what astrological sign it is.
02:25:53.000There's really, people are, they're actually, I mean, you'd be shocked at what people are doing with certain, with machinery and mechanical watchmaking.
02:26:03.000It's like the fight against friction is the whole thing, right?
02:26:06.000You've got this tiny little spring, and you need to get as much power out of it as possible, so they engineer these, like, Micrograms of friction out of this stuff.
02:27:27.000There's a company called HYT that makes watches that have a liquid that moves around, and it tells you the time based on almost like a thermometer.
02:31:50.000Yeah, and it's big, it's big and chunky and heavy, but you see it's got four-digit year, and then the month at the six o'clock mark, day of the week, and the second hand at the nine o'clock, and then the date and the power reserve at the three o'clock.
02:32:05.000And if you keep that running, that'll give you June 3rd, 2018, Friday, you know, whatever, automatically it knows all the math.
02:35:06.000So the London mayor, mayor of London on Twitter, wrote a tweet that has been getting him tortured online, saying there is no reason to have a knife.
02:36:24.000When you think about something small, like jewelry and watches, something that's this little, and something you fit in your hand can be worth a million dollars.
02:36:31.000It's one of the only things in life where something that fits in your hand is worth a million dollars.
02:36:36.000Yeah, and there's also a lot of the mainstream brands like, you know, Rolex and whatever, there's a lot of false prop-up of the value.
02:36:46.000They intentionally, you know, they don't build as many Submariners as they could because they want to drive the market up, demand up, and it keeps the used values high.
02:36:54.000And there's an entire ecosystem, you know, based on new and used watch values.
02:42:53.000Apparently he had some kind of realistic challenger Democrat that has been really ramping up their campaign and he does not want to stick around to see how that's gonna go.
02:43:51.000I don't think we should be complaining about that.
02:43:53.000Two, I think we could show that there's a real benefit to legalization that benefits communities, benefits schools, firemen, police officers, whoever can get that money.
02:44:00.000And I think that's where the money should be allocated.
02:44:02.000And I think you could get billions of dollars for the state just doing that.
02:44:05.000And I think that is a real positive aspect of legalization that might be the one thing that's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back across the country.
02:44:13.000When people realize that you can make real money and that real money can be beneficial to things that communities need.
02:44:18.000Plus, you starve out illegal drug selling.
02:44:21.000Illegal drug selling is what the real problem has always been.
02:44:24.000When you make something illegal, only criminals are going to sell it, then you have criminal mentality.
02:44:28.000You have people that have guns and gangs, and those are the people that we're scared of, not businesses.
02:44:33.000If we were scared of businesses, we'd be trying to close liquor stores.
02:45:31.000I was anti, and then I got some of this good shit right here.
02:45:34.000I'm convinced descheduling the drug is needed so that we can do research, help our veterans, and reverse the opioid epidemic ravaging our communities.
02:45:55.000Well, it really depends upon how it's used.
02:45:59.000It can benefit some people with some kind of pain.
02:46:02.000I don't think it's realistic to say that some people that are in horrible, horrible pain would get the same reaction from marijuana they get for opiates.
02:46:10.000People with really bad Burns, for instance.
02:46:13.000Right, but if you just become addicted, for not medical reasons, I'm talking about if you become addicted to oxys.
02:48:41.000I think all those things should be done in places where people are going to feel safe and where people have done it before and where people have experience with people that have done it before.
02:48:50.000Having a real center that has real professionals and medical health staff, that's what you want.
02:48:59.000And the only thing that's keeping that from happening in America and keeping millions and millions of people from getting off pills.
02:50:06.000Ten years I've been buying legal weed, and all of a sudden I want to buy illegal weed because of the taxes, and you just talked to me, guilted me even, back into legal weed.
02:50:14.000I'm happy to pay it, and I think that it's, you know, I understand.
02:50:18.000Like, yeah, man, maybe it's okay for you.
02:51:04.000Look, selfishly, totally selfishly, my own benefit, I, as a guy who jumped through the one hoop and got a $40 medical card, Was happy to have it be called medicine and get it and have it legally and not pay taxes on it.
02:52:17.000Instead of going down, like a lot of people thought, well, the real estate's gonna crash, people are gonna move out, there's potheads gonna be in the streets!
02:52:25.000A friend of mine wants to open a cannabis club, and there's a small area in the green zone where you can do that, and I'm like, great, here's your map of the green zone.
02:52:33.000I go, okay, what's for sale in the green zone?
02:52:47.000And there's a very restrictive of where you can put it, and you absolutely, under no circumstances, can have a drop of alcohol anywhere on the premises.
02:53:12.000It makes sense in Amsterdam, because it's a walking city, and you can use your coffee shop tour to walk around the city and go from coffee shop to coffee shop and sightsee, and it's really nice.
02:54:32.000Whenever we put up a video of any nature thing, like a bear killing something or something like that, those are all bought by someone, almost like patent trolls.
02:54:42.000When people put them up, they just take it down.
02:55:03.000It's very easy for someone to rip your video off of, you know, Facebook.
02:55:08.000Well, put it somewhere else on Facebook and whatever, versus if they re-upload it somewhere else on YouTube, the software algorithm will generally catch it.
02:55:46.000Afterwards, now they've shown, which I guess it's part of now public information, his notes that he had as references that he was looking at.
02:56:16.000He was talking about his influence on all these different upcoming elections that were coming up and about how they wanted to make sure that there was no bots that were Influencing these elections and I stopped and thought about it.
02:56:27.000I'm like, oh my god In that moment of him saying that I realized like what pressure he must be under what pressure that company's under there They went from being a thing where people could share pictures like of hey, this is us on our summer vacation like hey, you know fucking we're gonna go to the pub on Friday and That's what Facebook kind of was,
02:56:53.000Now, with this last election, and with him testifying in front of Congress, what I'm seeing is Facebook being like one of the most important sources of influence in the world today, and it's not really being completely managed.
02:58:44.000What he was talking about is the science of the difference in the psychology between men and women and why women would gravitate towards different careers.
02:58:50.000Maybe that's why more women aren't in tech, and maybe there's ways to get women in tech.
02:58:55.000Well, you've taken that angle before, right, with women in fighting and women in sports, right?
02:59:21.000I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I am saying it's much more rare than a woman who wants to become a nurse or do something that's traditionally a female caregiver sort of a position, which is really common.
02:59:42.000No, it just was talking about gender choices and choices people make and why they make them based on personality traits and why things are more common.
02:59:53.000Certain things are more common in males.
02:59:54.000Certain things are more common in women.
02:59:55.000And that this would indicate why there were less women that were involved in tech.
02:59:59.000And it wasn't some systemic sort of discrimination campaign put on by men.
03:00:08.000My point was we were talking about them having all the information that you have, like Google and Facebook, how much information they have on you.
03:01:41.000I don't know how I couldn't tell you where the signals went, but I've definitely had strange, it could be a coincidence, but I've had strange ads pop up that are...
03:01:50.000I read that, I don't know if it's accurate though, but I was reading that people have tried to prove, and it could be people on Facebook's side just to give them propaganda, that that's almost nearly impossible to do right now.
03:02:01.000Just because of the technology it would take to record your audio, have it...
03:02:04.000Scan by something and then deliver and add to you based off of that in amount of time.
03:02:09.000It's entirely possible I could have looked at something similar at a recent time and it was just far enough away for me to not make an exact connection.
03:02:17.000I don't want to say some shit that ain't true.
03:02:17.000I think what it represents, though, is that you recognize that that is potentially in the future.
03:07:25.000It does, but in an urban environment, you can see why it's a nice experience.
03:07:29.000When I drive an electric car, there's the chrome Fisker.
03:07:31.000When I drive an electric car and I get where I'm going, I am noticeably more relaxed than when I'm driving a gas car, especially if I'm driving a loud sports car.
03:08:08.000And they really need to do the infrastructure and they need to come up with a faster charging solution, which Porsche, it seems, may have done.
03:08:18.000Porsche has a new electric car coming out called the Mission E, which is a Tesla fighting thing.
03:08:25.000And they supposedly have a fast charging system that can do like an 80% charge in 10 minutes or something.
03:09:58.000Someone else did a photovoltaic roof where it circulates the air when it's really hot out or it can pre-turn on certain things and shit like that.
03:10:09.000But it's not enough to run or charge a car.
03:10:12.000What if that's going to change in the future?
03:10:24.000They're trying to do a Tesla solar tile that goes on your roof that then will feed into the Tesla battery pack that hangs on your wall, you know, and then you can be...
