In this episode, the boys are back with a new episode featuring special guest and friend of the show, Ari! We talk about Ari's new job as a yoga teacher in Encino, California, and what it's like teaching yoga while high. Also, we talk about how much better yoga is when you're high and how you don't have to drink water to do it. We also talk about the time Ari almost got into a fight with a woman at a yoga class, and how to deal with a guy who thinks you should be drinking water to teach yoga. We also get into Ari's relationship with pot and how he rolls it, and the weird things he does when he's high. And of course, we get into a little bit of pot and alcohol, and Ari talks about how he's going to get high after 30 days off of yoga and what he's doing to make up for it. This episode was recorded on October 31st, 2019, which is a day Ari has been off of Yoga for the past 30 days. Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year, everyone!

00:01:17.000I almost thought of bringing in all my marijuana and booze in here like in the Old West when you had to turn in your guns and just dumping them on the table.
00:01:26.000Because I have so much marijuana, it's ridiculous.
00:04:38.000And then the joke I made out of it was, hey, Wendell, the gay guy says I can't call you the black guy, but you're not doing your fucking burpees.
00:04:55.000And by the way, that is how, if you want to get a real bump in those points, it's about a bump in heart rate, sustained, accelerated heart rate.
00:05:03.000So a spin class is going to get you a bunch.
00:07:31.000I don't know if I can wrap my head around, like, I don't know the explosivity of it and going, like, I'm gonna save my family and then getting...
00:07:38.000But that might not work for you, but there still could be a different tactic that works for you.
00:08:27.000But he's never like, you don't ever, I've gone to like a moment, you know, where you're like, I wish I would have cracked that dude in the face.
00:08:32.000And then right before, right before a set.
00:12:09.000I couldn't have done any better because if I did any more, the only thing that you could say is maybe a little more time, maybe a month or two more time on some of the bits.
00:13:03.000Your mind doesn't open up all the way until it doesn't have any pressure.
00:13:08.000So it's like the pressure's gone, and then you're like, oh, I could take it here, I could take it there, and you're like, I wish I could think like this before I record, but you can't.
00:13:16.000You know what's interesting is that we've talked about this, that after the special's over, you're like, I don't have any material, and I don't have anything to think about.
00:13:58.000They don't get enough sets, and this, you know, it's hard.
00:14:01.000You're doing open mics, and when you're doing open mics, everyone sucks.
00:14:05.000So you look like a hero if you have anything that's remotely humorous.
00:14:08.000But then you try that remotely humorous stuff, and you do it at the Ice House, and people are like, huh.
00:14:14.000You know, like, you go on between you and you, and, you know, you do this bullshit that you're just doing an open mic night, and people are just not having it.
00:14:21.000That's why real sets are so different than, you know what I mean?
00:14:24.000If you don't get in front of real crowds, and it's not, you know, it's not entirely up to you, obviously, when you're starting out, it's hard to get in front of real.
00:14:36.000Those bringer shows and open mic shows.
00:14:38.000That's why it's invaluable even if you give somebody an opportunity to come on your show for them, like an up-and-comer, because they don't normally have real audiences to perform in front of.
00:18:55.000Well, some people just think that if you're saying something they disagree with, they don't think that they need to just wait it out.
00:19:02.000They think they can stop you in the middle.
00:19:03.000And the problem for me in particular, a lot of my bits start off one way, like they look like they're going to be way more outrageous than they are, and then I turn them around.
00:19:51.000I mean, they should just kick you out.
00:19:53.000You're fucking up the whole experience for the whole crowd because a guy like Brian Holtzman would literally never be able to perform if the audience is filled with people like that.
00:20:02.000So people like you and I who enjoy him, we would never be able to see him.
00:20:06.000Because his whole act is saying outrageous shit like that.
00:20:09.000That absolutely he doesn't really mean.
00:20:29.000And they're like, yeah, but don't you get that it's the performance?
00:20:32.000I used to have this joke about the Second Coming Project.
00:20:35.000Do you know what the Second Coming Project is?
00:20:37.000When they first started fucking around with genes and cloning, there was a group of radical Christians that had this idea.
00:20:48.000I think it might have been bullshit eventually, but what their idea was they were going to take some genetic material from the Shroud of Turin and they were going to clone Jesus.
00:20:59.000And so my bit was, what if you clone Jesus and it doesn't come out good?
00:21:06.000Like, you know, they had to do Dolly the Sheep like 30 times until they got it right.
00:21:11.000Like, what if you clone Jesus and he comes back handicapped?
00:21:17.000And I had this whole fucked up thing about them following around this handicapped Jesus.
00:21:22.000And instead of turning water into wine, he turns like dog shit into cookies.
00:21:26.000And so this fucking lady, this lady goes, NEXT SUBJECT! And she's sitting in the front row.
00:22:28.000You just know what you want, your selfish little head, and so you say it to them.
00:22:32.000This is how most arguments and most fights get started, because people don't take into consideration at all the fact that they're communicating with another human being, has their own set of emotions, their own life, their own problems, their own ego.
00:22:59.000Sometimes I preface it where I go, hey, you got...
00:23:01.000Like, if you don't like what I'm about to say, because I have a couple things now that are a little, I think, too far, I go, just come talk to me after the show.
00:23:15.000Worked on my podcast very well and then I tried it in the club and this black chick came up to me and she's like, it's a really fucked up joke.
00:23:56.000And I was like, I'm not going to die on that hill.
00:23:58.000I don't really talk about race much in my act, so I'm not going to die on that hill for that bit.
00:24:04.000You know what you've got to do with a bit like that?
00:24:05.000You've got to look at it as if you're someone trying to deconstruct it.
00:24:10.000Like you're someone who's trying to attack that bit.
00:24:12.000See, for me, a bit works best the very first time I do it.
00:24:17.000And then every working bit I do around that to take it apart and figure out another way to approach it, that's where I start fucking it up.
00:24:25.000It's like the first time I say it, I go, let's hope we can find that again.
00:24:52.000If I don't have video, I like to have video because I think the video aspect really lets me know why things work.
00:24:57.000I had this bit where I do my eyes a little different and it was killing and I saw it on video and I went, oh, I've got to make sure to do that.
00:25:13.000I like to clip it out and then put chunks of like, alright, here's what the Starbucks bit is, here's what this is, and then look at the different ones and go, oh, why did that work better than this one?
00:25:21.000But I've gotten really into editing videos and stuff, so it's a lot easier for me than it was when I first started.
00:25:27.000Now I'm just like, oh, real quick, sync up audio, because I'll do audio and video, different tracks, sync them up, and then just clip them out, put them in folders.
00:25:46.000Zoom H4-6, and then I'll take my camera, put it in the back, if I can, or I'll have the club run video.
00:25:52.000But I like to sync up clean audio and clean video.
00:25:55.000That way, if I do have something fun, like Hannibal got on stage with me the other night, and I was like, ah, cool, I got all this shit.
00:26:00.000That's I could definitely put online if I'm gonna want to do that to Hannibal I'd have to run it by him first, but I got real clean audio of it.
00:26:08.000So you are doing it through the soundboard?
00:26:10.000No, I do it through the h4-6 is like the best it's is and I have a Basically a surround sound mic on that which ones are called again h4-6.
00:26:19.000It's bigger h4-6 zoom zoom h4-6 right am I right on that or is it just the h6?
00:26:24.000Oh, it's the H6. It's the H6. The other one's the H4N. And it's Zoom?
00:30:19.000So say like if you have a business line and a home line, and then you take that SIM card out for the business line, or you disable the business line, and you're like, fuck you!
00:30:29.000So say like if you have a phone that only like your best friends your wife Have and then the next is like agents and other bullshit.
00:30:36.000Yeah, but are you just set up a whole Decoy number for like people you don't want to have your number.
00:35:54.000Dark Ages is where you had no free will.
00:35:56.000When I watch, when that Game of Thrones, when they cut his dick off in Game of Thrones, it clicked with the part of me where I went, helplessness.
00:36:05.000The idea that you can't go, this isn't fair, you're not allowed to do that.
00:36:08.000That helplessness, it gave me a panic attack.
00:36:10.000Think about that when you're on the treadmill, son.
00:37:06.000They killed so many people, they changed the carbon footprint of the world.
00:37:09.000They literally changed how many people were burning things.
00:37:14.000They literally changed it in core samples.
00:37:16.000Like when you do a core sample on the earth, the carbon footprint of human beings is less while he was alive because he killed one out of ten human beings that lived.
00:37:25.000So he was eco-friendly for what he did?
00:37:30.000That's the weird thing that Dan Carlin goes over in his Wrath of the Khan series, which is like one of the greatest history series of all time.
00:37:41.000And it was like seven part series or whatever, and I'd play it, lay in bed, fall asleep, wake up, and have to go find out where I left off.
00:43:46.000Yeah, I mean that's that's I think that's the key is you just got to do Yeah, you have to just do so many that you're you're just Just like working out you can't have any doubt you got to be just in shape I just sent you a video.
00:44:00.000This is this is shows you how ridiculous the crowd looked But when you're but you're also getting used to arenas because you've done a few now.
00:44:26.000I'm stressing, Tom and I are doing tours at the exact same time next year, and I'm stressing doing theaters, 1200 in the theater, going like, fuck it.
00:45:38.000I know you don't like comparing people, but has there ever been a time in comedy where this many acts were selling arenas, this many acts were selling theaters, and this many acts were selling out clubs?
00:47:11.000But you know who's real close to him that people forget about is Larry the Cable Guy.
00:47:15.000Because Larry the Cable Guy was selling out football stadiums because Josh Wolfe was opening for him and Josh Wolfe took a picture and showed it to me.
00:47:22.000And he goes, dude, this was me on stage opening up for Larry the Cable Guy.
00:49:14.000But it's so undermined when you go in and you do San Jose or you do whatever and you sell out everything and then go, oh my god, like, holy shit.
00:50:23.000It's because I really believe it's because the internet and also because there's no things we're fighting for anymore like tonight show spots Or stupid shit like that, or sitcom auditions.
00:50:35.000But in the past, it was like there was three channels, and there was The Tonight Show and The Letterman Show, and everybody wanted to host The Tonight Show, but Jay Leno was hosting it forever, or Johnny Carson before him.
00:50:46.000And there was this competition between comics where they were just cutthroat.
00:51:35.000I mean, even the simplest things, like D'Lea does something funny, and I'll just put her, I'll talk about it on my open tabs, and get like half a million views.
00:51:43.000And then you just go like, I mean, D'Lea's might be one of my favorite people to watch these days, because I just watch his Instagram and go, what's he doing today?
00:53:55.000Yeah, that's what I saw someone said it was it felt like the green room at the main room in the Comedy Store.
00:54:00.000Yeah, and Burr is living, let me tell you something, Bill Burr is living his best fucking life right now.
00:54:05.000He does these, when he does The Garden, or when he does The Forum, they come in with the goddamn Comedy Jam and set up a thing, and they do a full concert to an empty venue before the show.
00:54:50.000But this is also, it shows you that Because of all this camaraderie and that everybody's doing really well, it shows you that that's possible, that the old way of looking at things is the wrong way.
00:55:04.000That's a selfish, famine-thinking way.
00:57:10.000And in a weird way, being a fan of something is so fucking fun when you become a fan.
00:57:14.000And I think what podcasts have done is allowed you to become intimate with your fans and they support you in a way like people go out and they see a video of Dean singing and they go, oh yeah, I'm happy...
01:01:29.000I mean, can you imagine if you were in the world of business?
01:01:32.000See, I really think this is one of the reasons why so many people are so fucked up and so depressed.
01:01:36.000I think the world of showing up to a place and then...
01:01:40.000Having your behavior limited into this very narrow and rigid parameters all day long and your livelihood and your success of your family and whether or not you can send your kids to a good school, all that depended upon whether or not you're willing to play the rules.
01:03:41.000Well, the membership, I thought the membership was it, and they're like, membership gets you the prices, so you pay $4,500 to be a member, and then $2,700 for a domestic flight.
01:03:54.000For, like, your own entrance, you know, whatever, your own meals, your own check-in, your own TSA. Yeah, you get, like, a little room you hang out in.
01:04:04.000I think it sounded cool for, like, a family vacation or something, you know?
01:04:07.000If you're Chris Pratt, it definitely makes sense.
01:06:33.000He kind of depleted when Pulp Fiction was like around 93. And then that made him so famous and hot again that he was a $20 million movie guy while that was lasting.
01:09:05.000After the Sopranos came on the air, everybody wanted to be Italian.
01:09:08.000It was one of those gross moments in time where all these Italians were, like, empowered, and they were all talking like goombas, and they all wanted to fucking get together and have pasta.
01:17:44.000I feel like alt-universally, publicly, has sort of been hijacked by alt-right, or at least the definition of it has been hijacked by alt-right people.
01:20:10.000Lindsey Graham, do you see, like, after he left...
01:20:13.000Where they decided, they voted on that they're going to...
01:20:16.000Well, they voted that it's going to move to the floor, but they decided, like, you know, we'll try to do this extra week of the FBI investigation.
01:20:22.000And then he goes, somebody's going to have to explain this to Trump.
01:21:37.000So there's part of me that goes, like, I always thought, I wish Kim Jong-un would be a fan so I could go over and party with him for a week.
01:24:47.000Say if we had a gig in Aspen to celebrate after Sober October's over, we decided to book a gig together and we all were shirtless, hammered on the runway, looking ripped because we're going to lose shitloads of weight this month.
01:31:40.000I was telling Tom I got up at 5.45 to make them breakfast, and my oldest daughter had already pulled the trash out, put it by the back door for me to take out, and literally gave me a speech, and was like, just so you know...
01:32:34.000But it's like, when you're just hanging out with them, just them, you've got to realize, for everyone that has kids, you only have a few of these years.
01:33:14.000Well, first of all, being a teenager is fucking tough.
01:33:17.000You gotta, like, remind them over and over again you're dealing with a torrential downpour of hormones that you just don't know what to do with.
01:46:05.000I actually had a real lucid conversation about what meet and greets are going to look like on this theater tour because I don't want to get rid of the meet and greets.
01:46:13.000It means, as silly as it sounds, but I think it means something for them to hang out.
01:46:39.000So I want to try to figure out some workaround for a meet-and-greet for this theater tour because, dude, when I go to Scandinavia, I want to meet podcast fans.
01:48:15.000As the podcast got crazier and crazier, people got crazy, and they would hold on to your arm and want to tell you how you changed their life and want to tell you long stories.
01:48:24.000I'm like, look, I... There's 500 people behind you waiting.
01:48:54.000Then it's all these agenda-driven people that want to do things and they want you to do things for them.
01:49:02.000There's too many people that have been on the podcast that are just regular folks and then they get on the podcast and now people know about them.
01:49:07.000And so a lot of people think, hey, if I just got on the podcast, that would make my career.
01:53:51.000Dude, he's like, I knew who he was, but I didn't want to, like, I was afraid, and I was just working out, and he was like, he was like, hi, just get done working out?
01:53:59.000I was like, yeah, I wouldn't want to bother him.
01:54:00.000He goes, we have a mutual friend, and I was like, Does he know who I am?
01:54:03.000He was like, Joe Rogan, and I went, I know exactly who the fuck you are.
01:54:29.000I didn't see the fight because the fight's on some new streaming thing called DAZN. It's called DAZN. They have a whole commercial about how dumb the name is with Michael Buffer.
01:54:41.000They have a commercial about how dumb...
01:54:57.000Someone probably made it and they got stuck.
01:54:59.000Well, Mousasi just beat the shit out of Rory McDonald, stopped him in the second round.
01:55:03.000I didn't even get a chance to see it, because I thought it was going to be on TV, and so I went to check my Bellator on my DVR, and it wasn't even there.
01:56:37.000He's one of the big losses for the UFC, because in my opinion, he's one of the top two or three 185-pounders in the world at the UFC. He had beaten Chris Weidman, and then he goes over and fights in Bellator now.
01:56:49.000But apparently, they just came up with some large cash.
01:56:52.000They're trying to get big names over there.
02:18:39.000The bet is, first place pays for nothing, second place pays for a meal, third place pays for a lodging, and fourth place pays for a private jet.
02:25:53.000Suit, and we can add humiliation per, meaning if we come up with something during the month that we all think's hilarious, text it to each other, we put it out on social media, and we hold ourselves to that, too.
02:31:17.000I was a little skeptical when I first thought about this, but then in using the app, while you're using the app, it's showing you your actual numbers while you're doing it.
02:31:27.000And when you're in the middle of it, you're seeing the actual numbers take place.
02:34:00.000You can't do that because we actually discussed this on a podcast very recently.
02:34:03.000The problem is your metabolism crashes as well and your body goes into this famine mode and it wants to protect calories.
02:34:09.000So anything you do eat, you gain back much quicker and then it's far more difficult for you to lose again because your body has a mechanism in place to protect yourself.
02:34:38.000His metabolism crashed so hard that he was literally blinking and thinking slower.
02:34:43.000And thinking is, for you, for a comic, it's terrible!
02:34:46.000To be thinking slower when you're on stage is the last thing you want, you know?
02:34:51.000If you just work out like a fucking maniac and eat healthy, just cut out the sugar and the fat and all the bullshit, your body will slim down.
02:35:57.000She's most likely, according to other nutritionists that I've talked to, she's probably got some gut bacteria issue that she needs to get her gut biome sorted out.
02:36:07.000It's all so above my pay grade, quite honestly.
02:36:10.000I mean, I get interested in this stuff and I talk about it and there's some things that I can say with a certain amount of certainty, but not Really what you should and shouldn't do in terms of each individual person in their diet.
02:36:20.000I would say, if I was you, what I would get down to is I would say definitely start eating a lot of vegetables.
02:36:29.000Everybody agrees, except these crazy carnivore people.
02:36:31.000But I think their situation is like either an elimination diet or a calorie-restricted diet, which is not really the best for performance, I don't think, for the kind of shit you're trying to do.
02:38:11.000And just realize you're going to have to get a lot of rest and you're going to have to drink a shit ton of water because you're going to have to be keeping up with some terrifying numbers.
02:39:35.000So, yeah, the problem is losing the weight like that.
02:39:38.000When you crash, the problem with the crash is, see, if you lose the weight over the month because you're just burning it off like a madman, but you're eating a lot, your body's not going to be in famine mode.
02:39:49.000Your body's just going to be more efficient.
02:39:51.000It's going to need more calories, and you definitely should lift weights.
02:39:54.000That's one thing you should do over this month.
02:39:55.000And lifting weights will also add to this.
02:39:57.000My plan is lifting weights, kickboxing, running hills, yoga...
02:40:04.000And then various cardio machines from the VersaClimber to the Rower to the Echo Bike.
02:40:09.000I'm going to rotate them all so I can keep doing all of them.
02:40:45.000When you're looking at the numbers on that thing, it's very motivational.
02:40:49.000It's funny, before when I was in college I ran and what was really fun, they used to have these runner's journals, is to get done your run and write them in.
02:40:57.000Like tracking your fitness, tracking your workout, it's really fun to look at numbers and stack up.
02:41:03.000It's almost like it feels like a hoarder's vibe or like an OCD vibe.
02:41:09.000Yeah, it's definitely better when it's on this app than it is if you just know you worked out.
02:41:14.000When Fitbit first came out, I had to get to 12,000 steps every day, and I would land from a flight, get up to my hotel room, open a bottle of wine, and just start dancing.
02:41:57.000When you make a list, it really does organize your day.
02:42:00.000When I was shooting the promo thing for my tour next week, and I shot it this weekend in San Jose, and I was like, I had all these different things I needed to do, and my wife's like, make a fucking list.
02:42:47.000So my biggest thing for me, which I think held me back, and I've talked about this a lot, maybe a lot, but when you were in production brain, you didn't have room for comedy brain.
02:42:57.000Like when I was making a TV show, I never didn't have the room for comedy.
02:43:00.000And so I might be obsessed with a bolster.
02:43:02.000There might be something wrong with me, but when I'm in comedy brain, which is when I'm doing a special, it's focused on only that material.
02:43:46.000Right now I have like 55 minutes that...
02:43:50.000That I feel is really solid, but the goal now, so like we were talking, Tom was talking about untangling it, is like weaving it in so that one bit follows the other one.
02:43:59.000So right now I'm playing with these bits, putting them in different places, trying to figure out...
02:45:47.000But he makes really good points in terms of personal safety and responsibility.
02:45:51.000The thing about people who equate NRA with mass shootings and all kinds of other crazy shit, which is not really totally fair because no NRA member has ever committed a mass shooting.
02:46:01.000Whenever something happens, they think, oh, this is all because these people want other people to have access to these kind of guns.
02:46:23.000Is the psychotropic drugs causing them to do this, or are they on psychotropic drugs because they're crazy and they shouldn't have a gun anyway and it should be more difficult?
02:46:35.000In belief that you should test people and that there should be some sort of standards in terms of mental health, in terms of whether or not you've committed assault, whether or not like those kind of things, whether or not you have a history of mental illness, whether or not you have a history of lashing out or violent outbursts.
02:46:51.000Yeah, those kind of people shouldn't have guns.
02:46:53.000The kind of people that think everybody should have access to a gun, I think that's a little irresponsible.
02:46:57.000But the kind of people that think no one should have a gun, I think that's irresponsible too.
02:48:01.000And then I was like, oh yeah, Frank Mir said, he came to my podcast and we had a cigar while we were doing the podcast.
02:48:05.000And he just, it's like, I'm such in, maybe I'm such in this weird bullshit Hollywood world where people don't mean what they say that I'm used to that.
02:48:13.000And he goes, that was a really great cigar.
02:48:54.000Like where people just aren't genuine and they're not honest.
02:48:57.000But this is like people just lick their finger and stick it out in the wind and try to figure out which way the wind's blowing and that's the way they go.
02:49:04.000Because everybody just wants everybody to like them out here because everyone's auditioning for things.
02:49:21.000And he came out, the first time he came out, there was a comic, I won't say his name, who was holding court at the Hollywood Improv, and he was making fun of me.
02:49:29.000Like, as the joke, everyone was laughing, and I was laughing.
02:49:32.000And my buddy Eddie just kind of looked sideways, and we got in the car, and he goes, why'd you let that happen?
02:50:02.000It's different because you're letting it be different.
02:50:04.000Well, it depends on how close you are with the guy.
02:50:06.000Because if you're really close with the guy, and he's saying funny things, and you think they're funny, and you're laughing sincerely, like, we bust on each other all the time.
02:50:19.000It's just, I think it's, I think everyone knows that we're all close friends, and that's our, it's our language.
02:50:24.000But there are people who are not your close friends, who's like, look at Bert over there with blah, blah, blah, and then they'll start fucking with you, and it gets a little slippery and Gross.
02:50:40.000And it's funny, I definitely have changed from that.
02:50:44.000When you're young and you're hungry in this business and you want to succeed, you don't want to tell a famous guy that might be able to give you work, hey man, don't talk to me like that, because then you almost blackball yourself.
02:50:53.000Well, you've had some bad experiences.
02:50:55.000We don't need to mention any names, but you've had some bad experiences with a particular comedian that was like that, where we've talked about it.
02:51:03.000There's mentally ill people that are in this business, too.
02:51:34.000I, man, that fucking makes me angry because I go, I remember when it happened and I'd already dealt with something else that was similar to that.
02:51:40.000I remember I was at my wife's lake house when someone texted me and said, hey man, did you give that joke to that person?
02:52:00.000I didn't say anything because I learned the first time around that it really, almost like all these women that come out about sexual assault, it doesn't benefit you to come out and say that someone stole a joke from you.
02:52:21.000There's not a lot of benefit to go and say you've been raped because now you've got to fucking, that's what you're defined as.
02:52:26.000And you've got to defend yourself from something you didn't do to yourself.
02:52:30.000And so when you get stolen from them, obviously that is a stretch of an equivocation, but to come out and defend yourself, people do start attacking you and go, why would you even say anything?
02:52:40.000Well, you have to put yourself out on a limb if you're talking about someone taking something, like a joke, from you too, because you have to hope that people side with you.
02:52:48.000So, like, say if some famous person steals something from you, you have to hope when you come out that a bunch of people are going to jump on his side and attack you, which is totally possible.
02:54:40.000That's one of the things about people that get called out for bits, and they say, oh, I'm not going to do it anymore.
02:54:44.000And then, I heard he did that bit at the Laugh Factory.
02:54:47.000Because they get addicted to the reaction that bit gets.
02:54:52.000See, you're addicted to coming up with new stuff.
02:54:56.000And I am, and the people that try to be creative, what you're trying to do is you're trying to summon these ideas out of the ether.
02:55:06.000You're trying to pull them out of the air, and then once you have them, like, okay, I got it in a bottle, I got it in a bottle, okay, now I gotta add things to it.
02:55:56.000And you're like yeah, I'm getting ready to film in you know a couple months and I was like oh like dude That's the greatest feeling when you sit as a comic in the back and you watch your friends just fucking murder.
02:56:06.000It inspires you with shit you haven't heard.
02:58:23.000And I was like, and I just kind of, your muscle memory goes back in, and then you're like, and you're so much better of a comedian now, that the things that you would have never said back then, because you didn't know how to do it, you just start adding ad-libs in, and it just kills, and you're like, shit, man!
02:58:37.000I had a guy come on stage once, he asked me to do a bit, and I go, I don't remember how to do a bit.
02:59:22.000Yeah, it's weird how people interpret, like when you do something and then people really like it and they take it and they make a clip about it or something or they add something to it or they...
02:59:33.000One of the weirder things has been the animated shit that people do.
02:59:42.000We were talking about this the other day, that when you're in this room and you're doing this podcast, it just seems like you and me are talking.
02:59:49.000That's one of the reasons why it works, or you and me and whoever else is here.
02:59:53.000But for the people that hear it, the actual numbers that you're dealing with, you're dealing with millions of people.
03:00:01.000That doesn't seem to register in your head.
03:00:03.000And then you'll see these clips, and you'll see these memes, and you'll see these videos, and you see these animated shorts, and you see people do impressions of you, and you're like, wait, what?
03:00:29.000I saw a dude who had that Russian t-shirt tattooed on his body, the one that you made with the machine with the Russian language with you looking off into space.
03:01:23.000Well, it's the amount of effort that it takes to listen to so much audio that you can have a conversation played back and forth between a dude and his self.
03:01:33.000Like, you know how many videos that guy must have had to listen to and how much editing he had to do to do that?
03:01:38.000Dude, I don't want to fanboy out, but I'm a huge fan.
03:02:23.000When the fuck do you ever sit down and talk to somebody for three hours?
03:02:26.000It's the best thing about these podcasts is that you literally sit and catch up and break balls and giggle, come up with brilliant challenges.
03:04:19.000And he literally, all he said in that bit was that you're not allowed to use that word anymore.
03:04:25.000And in saying that, there was massive protests.
03:04:28.000There was all these people freaking out because they don't even want you to utter the sound.
03:04:32.000It's a real problem because That kind of thinking is nonsense.
03:04:36.000To say that it can't be used ever, that you can't admit that it's a word, like you cannot say it, you cannot utter it, that it's abracadabra, that it's a magic word.
03:04:46.000You can't even bring it up in conversation to understand that we are changing, so this word, whatever the word is, that you can't say it anymore.
03:04:55.000Remember when they were trying to get rid of bossy?
03:05:05.000But it's that point, is that they'll try to find something to be offended by, and they'll try to put whatever that word is into this forbidden category.
03:05:14.000And then you can have so many words in that category, then it's going to be crazy.
03:05:18.000And then you have noises that you can't make.
03:05:21.000I think the real thing that's going to change, and I really think this is going to happen, is we're going to figure out a way to bypass language.
03:05:27.000There's going to be a way to directly convey information to people without language.
03:05:32.000And it's going to happen through some sort of technology.
03:05:34.000And Elon Musk was talking about it on the podcast.
03:05:37.000There's something called Neuralink that he's working on that's some sort of really revolutionary way to increase bandwidth between you and ideas and how ideas get to your head.
03:05:48.000It's going to be something that you wear.
03:05:50.000I think that's gonna be like step one and then you're gonna be able to do that from person to person and I think you know all this we're so invasive now with social media like it's so and cell phones and electronics everything is in your life and people are getting closer and closer to each other and One of the side effects is that of that is that people now realize they can hurt you so they can attack you easier and they can And they can tear things down.
03:06:14.000They can light things on fire because they can.
03:06:16.000Not necessarily because it's a wise thing or it's a measured thing or it's a really well thought out thing.
03:06:22.000They're doing it just because it's a new thing that they can use.
03:06:25.000Like you gave a chimp an AK-47 and they just started shooting up the jungle.
03:06:29.000I mean literally that is what a lot of people are doing with social media.
03:06:32.000But I think that is just a stage and that eventually we're going to bypass language.
