Dave and Paul are back with a brand new episode of "Don't Say Cunt" in which they discuss the history of the word "cunt" and why it's not as bad in Canada as it is in the US. They also talk about Prince Charles, the monarchy, and the first time they heard a swear word that wasn't used in their native Canada. Also, they talk about a lot of other things that don't have anything to do with cussing. Don't miss it! Logo by Courtney DeKorte. Theme by Mavus White. Music by PSOVOD and tyops. All rights reserved.

00:05:03.000Yeah, the Beverly Hills one, all of them are fascinating.
00:05:07.000Take people, force them into these situations where they're going to have these artificial disputes.
00:05:12.000What was crazy to me is watching people succumb to the pressure of all that attention when they've never experienced it before, and then you're going to just thrust them into this massively popular, you know, for lack of a better word, cunt fest.
00:11:20.000When you're doing something you like, there's a certain satisfaction.
00:11:23.000But even then, even when we were doing news radio, you don't get to enjoy it because you're so focused on whatever the flaws are while you're making it.
00:12:11.000Yeah, it's a strange thing to look back.
00:12:15.000When you go back, you know, 20 plus years and think of all the scenes, all the writing, all the work, and now it's just sort of, now, that's the other thing we never anticipated, that it would be floating around the internet.
00:13:56.000Once you get a certain number of characters that you can get to interact with each other in predictable ways on those shows, then they just sort of have them have these little scenes and have different inflections and different...
00:14:10.000He stumbles, and they make a show out of it.
00:14:13.000And for the audience, I think it just becomes comfort.
00:19:27.000You could say cunt as much as you want, just never that.
00:19:29.000You know, whether or not God exists is a fascinating point of discussion, but what's interesting is this agreement that people say when they decide that God exists, and you decide that God exists, and I decide that God exists, so we both have agreed that there's this weird thing that makes no sense that we're on board with,
00:19:48.000so I know where you stand on a lot of issues.
00:19:51.000I probably know where you stand on abortion.
00:19:53.000I probably know where you stand on guns.
00:19:55.000I probably know where you stand on climate change.
00:19:58.000It's a weird little thing that you do when you say, well, I'm a God-fearing Christian.
00:20:13.000Whether or not you believe in God or not.
00:20:16.000It's the saying that God's real and the worshiping God and the talking about God is just letting everybody know that they can predict you.
00:20:24.000If you're a gentleman, you're wearing a tie with a nice suit on and a pair of pants, I can fairly likely predict that you're going to be reasonably behaved.
00:20:38.000You know, if you're a Christian, if you're a person who calls himself a Christian and, you know, well, we go to church every Sunday and I like to read the Bible and I am a Christian, and people automatically go, oh, okay, I kind of know where you're coming from.
00:20:58.000Yeah, I'll reinforce those patterns in your head, and I'll say some things that I've repeated things that I've heard other people say about God and Jesus and...
00:27:56.000I don't think that, I mean, the word was that that's why she killed him, that he was leaving, that he was finally leaving, and then that's when she killed him.
00:28:06.000But when we were together with him, there was always days where he would come to the set and just be just in hell.
00:28:14.000Oh, yeah, well, yeah, and he wouldn't, well, he'd just be on the floor of the studio, like, ranting about, you know, I'm living in my boat.
00:30:04.000Well, I've seen too many predatory marriages.
00:30:07.000I've seen women marry men that don't really like because they know the man has money, and I've seen the opposite.
00:30:13.000It's just such a weird thing when you enter into contractual agreement about romance.
00:30:19.000It's not just, I love you, you love me.
00:30:22.000Let's have a celebration of our love and let's invite our friends over and tell everybody we've decided to engage each other in this very special commitment.
00:30:33.000But then you start bringing in lawyers.
00:31:21.000When did it become a thing where you would go to law school and it was a respectable occupation and it would be good to know a good lawyer?
00:35:33.000The majority of Arizona is on permanent standard time, and the year-round daylight savings time is followed by Hawaii and the territories of the American Samoa.
00:35:56.000Well, and then just everybody wants to kill themselves when it's nighttime now.
00:35:59.000There's an interesting debate going on in Hawaii right now as to what is an invasive species.
00:36:05.000Because so much of the wildlife in Hawaii was brought over.
00:36:11.000And so there's some debate on certain islands where they want to eliminate the wild pigs because they say they're an invasive species.
00:36:18.000And then the people are saying, but hold on, because we kind of came after a lot of these wild pigs.
00:36:25.000Like a lot of the wild pigs were dropped off by pirates.
00:36:28.000Like pirates and people that were in boating, that were traveling by boat across the world, they would drop off goats and pigs on various islands so they would have something to hunt when they would come back for food because they knew that this would be a stop along their route.
00:37:07.000I was on an Alaska holiday, and I made a joke about, you know, I'm looking for beavers, because I didn't think there were beavers in Alaska, because it's too cold.
00:38:49.000That's the most amazing thing is that the ratings were really great once we got canceled and then it was on TV like they would show the reruns and people go, oh, this is a funny show.
00:38:58.000I remember Lou Morton, one of our writers, he'd show up at the reed with a different number on his shirt every week when we were in the real shitter, when we were falling apart.
00:41:09.000Yeah, a passport or a driver's license.
00:41:11.000Like, if you can read a passport, they have a machine that reads a passport at the airport, you know, when you go through, if you have, like, global entry.
00:41:19.000They got the face recognition thing, too.
00:44:55.000Yeah, I think the star thing, the problem is, now I'll butcher this, but I think it's that literally we don't have the capability to look past 13 point whatever billion years.
00:45:08.000So if they look and they go, oh no, there's just like a big space, and then if you go 18 more billion years back, there's a thriving community of galaxies.
00:46:27.000He has a gigantic screen behind him filled with interlocking LED screens that apparently it's like this unbelievably gorgeous high-definition version of the Cosmos.
00:48:05.000He's so smiley and he enjoys it so much and he loves talking about it so much that it becomes infectious.
00:48:11.000There's a lot of that stuff that's very difficult to follow when you try to read the papers.
00:48:16.000I read the Stephen Hawking books and I would zone out so much while I was trying to comprehend what was going on.
00:48:23.000I had Lawrence Krauss on and I was trying to get him to explain certain formulas and even when he's explaining them to you it doesn't seem to click.
00:48:39.000It's like someone trying to explain French words to you by only speaking to you in French.
00:50:12.000There's a little bit of, like, doing it to create order in the community, and there's a little bit of people find mushrooms and they need an explanation what the fuck they're feeling.
00:50:20.000It's like our brains are constructed in such a way that we need an end.
00:50:29.000My very uninformed theory, which is that First off, that everything is meaningless, but that only the brain damaged are capable of conceiving of meaninglessness, because our brains are meaning machines.
00:50:44.000And that we evolved, and it gave us an evolutionary advantage that we give meaning to things.
00:50:49.000Like I said, this is a table because we say it's a table.
00:51:00.000And that kind of meaning, let us organize our lives, let us be better hunters.
00:51:06.000You know what constantly occurs to me and bothers me is that we decide not to drive into each other because we've painted a little line on a road down the middle.
00:51:15.000We've all agreed not to cross that line.
00:52:55.000I mean, obviously someone's going to enjoy your work, but I think the real meaning is in creating the work, and then the fact that people are going to enjoy it.
00:53:02.000If you're doing it because you want it to live on forever, you're a moron.
00:53:12.000One example is like they did a study where they went all like into the jungles of the Amazon to people who have never had any contact with the modern world and they drew a circle with two dots and a curved line and everyone sees a face.
00:54:13.000Yeah, mostly what it is is evidence of lost civilizations.
00:54:18.000Ancient civilizations that were incredibly advanced.
00:54:20.000I follow the work of Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson and a few other people that are being proven actually correct more and more, almost on a daily basis, by new discoveries that show that civilization predates what we initially thought.
00:54:39.000The initial thought was that somewhere around the Great Pyramids, which is like 2500 BC, that was about as good as anybody got.
00:54:47.000You go back to like ancient Sumer, which is about 6,000 years ago, and then that's basically it.
00:54:52.000What they're saying is that, no, there was most likely a reset, a global reset of civilization due to a cataclysmic disaster, and there's a shit ton of evidence.
00:55:03.000There's massive evidence in the form of this nuclear glass that exists when there's That's terrifying.
00:55:33.000Mass extinction of 60 plus percent of the large mammals in a very short window of time, almost instantaneously in North America.
00:55:42.000The end of the ice age, like 10,000 plus years ago, there was a mile high ice in most of North America.
00:55:50.000Most of North America covered in ice, and then, gone.
00:55:53.000And all these areas, all these points of interest point to this one moment in time that's somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago that some big event happened, and that most likely just crippled civilization, and then people had to rebuild.
00:57:30.000That's the thing, well, these things, the Eric Von Danica thing, I remember as a kid going, my problem was that they kept showing all these massive paintings that can only be seen from the sky, so therefore there must have been drawn for aliens, and I kept going, well...
00:57:42.000No, if you believe God is looking down on you, you're going to draw big paintings for God to look at.
00:59:06.000I mean, it's like there's some real clear, easy steps to follow if you want to follow Occam's razor and not get crazy with it.
00:59:13.000But it knocks those out, but it doesn't knock out like Barney and Betty Hill and all the people that are abducted will fully conscious and that remember it without hypnotherapy.
00:59:21.000I'm not sure about the abduction phenomenon.
00:59:44.000Yeah, but I needed to actually study it.
00:59:47.000So for six months, that's basically all I did.
00:59:50.000I interviewed people, like Bigfoot believers, UFO believers, and the one thing that they have in common is they all seem to be kind of lost and dependent upon this thing being real.
01:01:11.000That when you observe something, they've done fMRIs, and that most of the activity in the brain is in the memory centers, not in the visual centers.
01:01:26.000When I was a kid, I went and saw Carl Sagan speak at U of T, at the University of Toronto, and I was like, you know, 14. But he did an equation.
01:01:35.000On the board of the possibility of alien life other than us in the universe.
01:01:42.000And it came to the smallest, I mean, he spent the whole time writing on this chalkboard.
01:02:44.000Just because you can't see it or it isn't happening doesn't mean it can't happen.
01:02:48.000And even since Sagan's day, there had been no exoplanets discovered then.
01:02:53.000We now know that there are literally trillions and trillions of Earth-like planets.
01:02:58.000Yeah, they just speculated as to the existence of them outside of our solar system before.
01:03:03.000The real problem is that if some, there's a leap, and a leap, a technological leap that opens the doors to massive innovation.
01:03:11.000That once this happens, once this happens and then all this stuff sort of exponentially expands in terms of technological possibilities, all you would need Is a few hundred years and you have an unrecognizable set of technology.
01:03:51.000And there's also a theory, there's a recent one, that space-time itself doesn't exist.
01:03:56.000So the speed of light barrier becomes moot because I guess it's the holographic, quantum hologram, quantum holographic theory of the universe.
01:04:43.000But the reason that, you know, these, you know, atoms on opposite ends of the universe can affect each other instantaneously… At the same moment.
01:04:52.000…is because they're not really at opposite ends of the universe.
01:04:54.000They're really right next to each other.
01:04:55.000It just seems like they're at opposite ends of the universe.
01:04:58.000Because our ability to perceive is basically based on what we have to do to stay alive on this planet.
01:05:05.000So our meager little chimp brains are trying to quantify all of these things that are around us all the time.
01:05:12.000So we put them into this sort of three-dimensional box of movement and distance.
01:05:17.000And the entire universe could be a compact thing that projects itself like a hologram.
01:05:25.000I love these kind of conversations because I'm clearly too stupid to really understand what we're saying.
01:05:29.000And I don't understand anything I just said.
01:05:31.000And I don't understand you two, so how stupid does that make me?
01:05:37.000I think it would be interesting to do a document or something about ufology.
01:05:44.000Because one thing is the assumption that they're extraterrestrial is an assumption.
01:05:48.000But the thing that intrigues me is the power of ridicule to silence even the most intelligent people in our community from examining something.
01:05:57.000Like, ridicule kept doctors from accepting germs.
01:06:01.000Because they didn't want to be ridiculed by their peers.
01:06:06.000And even now, you've got people that will, like Michael Shermer, will cling to the most absurd explanations for phenomena like the F-16 radar footage.
01:06:17.000What was Michael Shermer's take on it?
01:06:19.000I can't even remember it, but it really went to great lengths that entailed having to basically diminish any respect you had for any of the people who reported on the events.
01:06:32.000It had to go into character assassination in order to eliminate it.
01:06:36.000Well, that's the best way to kill an idea.
01:06:39.000He's a professional skeptic, and I like Michael a lot, and he's been on the podcast many times, but I actually had him debate Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock about these ancient civilizations, and it wasn't very good for him.
01:07:13.000But it serves a massive purpose for people that really don't understand things, and he can explain it to you with actual science.
01:07:21.000As long as the actual science is being used, and it's not character-accessive, Yeah.
01:07:40.000They're looking at it, they're trying to pick it apart.
01:07:42.000And that's fine if you can pick it apart, but if you cannot, you have to be objective about the fact that, oh, well, this is a very interesting phenomenon, and this is what we know about science, and this is what we know about this thing, and right now we have a weird conundrum.
01:08:28.000Yeah, it's a god, one of their former kings that is lying on his back, and it looks like he's moving some – Jamie, see if you can find that thing.
01:08:39.000It's this really cool carving that they found that looks like there's a guy who is in a seat, and it looks like there's fire behind his back, and you could say – You could say that he's manipulating controls on a ship and he's,
01:08:56.000you know, shooting a rocket into the heaven.
01:11:39.000And then when he found out that I had read a bunch of books on it, he was really excited about it, so he took us to all these different areas.
01:11:44.000But there was one area where they had this hall where they would just get fucked up.
01:11:49.000And he was like, this is where they would do their psychedelics.
01:11:53.000They would take different forms of plants.
01:11:56.000There's a bunch of different plants, like morning glory seeds.
01:12:05.000A lot of people don't know that morning glory seeds actually contain, what is the active compound?
01:12:11.000I think it's a cousin of LSD. It's something psychoactive that's very closely related.
01:12:18.000And what they would do is they would make it, they would take the morning glory seeds, they would soak them, and I think they would smash them and make a cake and bake it.
01:12:27.000It says they have LSA. LSA. Lessergic acid, right?
01:14:14.000There's another theory that's a little more slippery, and this one is very woo-woo, and the idea is that every experience that you have, like say if you take mushrooms, right?
01:14:25.000When you're eating mushrooms, you're not just having an experience where your brain is interacting with this substance, but you are in fact experiencing all of the people that have ever interacted with this trip.
01:14:38.000So that's one of the reasons why psilocybin is so potentially potent, is that you're not just accessing...
01:14:45.000We're talking about morning glory seeds.
01:15:06.000I've seen images that were very similar to these ancient civilizations, and the thought is that either this is what it's doing to your brain, or the more woo-woo thought is that when you are having a psychedelic experience, especially when you're consuming something like a fungus,
01:15:22.000like psilocybin, that you're not just having this experience where this chemical is interacting with your brain, But you're entering into the realm of all the previous experiences that human beings have had with this.
01:15:32.000Which is one of the reasons why psilocybin has such a rich history.
01:15:37.000And these are incredibly potent experiences when you do take psilocybin.
01:16:06.000But what's interesting is that McKenna said that ketamine, which at the time when he was alive, he died in the early, I think early 2000s, right?
01:18:09.000He was like a 16-year-old kid when he first went to Harvard because he was so fucking smart that he was entering into Harvard at 16 years of age.
01:18:20.000And there was a psychologist that was working at Harvard at the time that he's been photographed with and was friends with, and he was a part of this program.
01:18:31.000This guy was notoriously ruthless with his application of LSD to young people.
01:18:49.000What he was on to, he was trying to kill people that were creating technology because he felt like technology is going to be the end of humans.
01:19:00.000And if you're high as fuck on acid, and they probably gave him a fucking coffee cup full of acid at 16, I mean, who knows how much they were.
01:19:33.000Once they figure out a way to make a reality that's indiscernible from the reality that we're currently experiencing, which is just It's around the corner.
01:20:23.000So once they figure out a way to give you some experiences that you can't tell whether or not those experiences are real or not, then the aliens will land.
01:20:37.000I think that artificial life and intelligence that is sentient, that is also completely autonomous, that can run itself and decide for itself, it's only a matter of time.
01:20:49.000It's not a matter of, this is not like H.G. Wells science fiction 200 years ago, like we're just guessing.
01:23:04.000Yeah, something happened back then and a woman put a curse on me because I was banging her sister or something like that.
01:23:10.000And the curse was that you would live forever.
01:23:13.000So here I was, many thousands of years later, I had to pretend that I was a regular person, and I could never die, and that was the sitcom.
01:25:03.000I mean, even like, again, that F-16 footage, that even Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is a great skeptic, said, on one of the late night talks, he said, well, if you really want to look at the possibility of some non-human intelligence, that F-16 stuff is pretty compelling.
01:26:57.000Occam's Razor says, if the jet pilot says he saw this, he saw it.
01:27:01.000I think he had an interesting take on it, though.
01:27:03.000One of the things is there's a time during the video where the pilot shifted from 1x to 2x, which makes the image move more because you have magnification.
01:27:15.000Like, have you ever used magnifying glasses or binos?
01:27:18.000Like, if you use 15x binos, it's very difficult to hold on a subject.
01:27:22.000But 6x, you can kind of look at things in the distance.
01:29:38.000And it's also the assumption that this guy doing probably a few hours research has come up with something that is more credible than Than a trained fighter pilot who is there and visually seeing it.
01:36:20.000That they were within 20 feet of a craft that they saw and took notes on, did drawings of, yeah, they walked not even like right up against it.
01:36:29.000And they wrote down notes, saw like different sort of hieroglyphs on the ship itself, described the feel of it, this electrostatic feel of being around it.
01:36:37.000And the official explanation was they mistook a lighthouse several miles away for this spacecraft.
01:36:46.000So Occam's Razor again says, That's hard to believe.
01:36:51.000These trained observers, they always try to dismiss the idea that trained observers are better observers.
01:37:17.000But Occam's Razor says, alright, they saw something.
01:37:22.000Because what is the likelihood that trained observers who have been on this base for years on this night would mistake a lighthouse that they've seen every night for the entire time they've been on this base for a UFO? I mean, what is the likelihood that that explanation is correct?
01:38:09.000And it's, you know, and instead, obviously, the obvious explanation is, well, not the explanation, but the only thing you can accept is that these observers saw something and described it accurately.
01:39:23.000What they don't tell you is that they flew the wreckage out to Wright-Patterson Air Force in two separate planes and that Truman met them there.
01:40:02.000Well, if the preponderance of the evidence says something happened, but doesn't tell you what happened, then you still have to believe something happened.
01:40:09.000Not knowing what happened isn't evidence that it didn't happen.
01:40:29.000There's people that are so dumb, they think the earth is flat, and there's people that are so dumb, they make fun of the people that are dumber than them.
01:41:25.000Suddenly they can discover a thousand miles out of space.
01:41:28.000I wonder how many of those, I was talking to you about Renee DiResta, who's the woman who studies all these Russian troll farms, and they mock people.
01:41:34.000I wonder how much of that is them, that the Russians, like, they have a side flat earth, space is fake department, where they just mock, because it's always in English.
01:41:44.000I don't think there's a lot of flat earth Russian proponents.
01:41:47.000God, if I was one of those Russian guys, I would want that to be my department.
01:43:19.000Women are expressing their power by not controlling their menstrual cycle with pads or tampons just bleeding into their pants to show their power.
01:43:28.000Yeah, they did it on 4chan as a joke and the women started doing it in real life.
01:44:03.000Some of them not so smart, but some of them really smart that are stuck at their desks and they're bored as shit with some computer job somewhere.
01:44:13.000We're talking about flat earthers and free bleeding, the free bleeding movement, which was also started by 4chan.
01:44:21.000Yeah, 4chan started this movement where women would express their power by not controlling their menstrual cycle, by just letting the blood leak out into their pants.
01:44:29.000And they did it as a joke that 4chan did, and women started actually doing it.
01:45:53.000And you guys love these papers, you morons.
01:45:55.000And this is part of the problem with the humanities today, is that things are so sideways in terms of like, it's so difficult to find out what's parody and what's reality.
01:47:02.000I think there's going to be a universal language that probably is augmented reality, some augmented reality language of shapes or something.
01:48:27.000And it was a prediction, and the one thing Third Wave predicted was that the next generation The first line in it, I remember, was that it's all about information.
01:48:37.000It's all going to be about sharing information.
01:48:39.000Someone's going to figure out a way to share information.
01:48:42.000Well, that's when I saw the cochlear implant.
01:48:44.000I thought, well, if you're, alright, so your brain is interpreting an electronic signal as information directly.
01:50:20.000I remember you had a program on your laptop.
01:50:23.000This was like 96. You had a program on your laptop that kept crashing, but when it worked, it was amazing because it would give you the news.
01:51:42.000I mean, every society probably, I don't think they reached that 10,000 years ago, but I think every society probably reaches some point where everything is just ones and zeros on a database somewhere, and then if that crashes...
01:52:16.000What Dr. Robert Schock was talking about, if there's a fucking lightning storm that really torches buildings and starts everything on fire.
01:52:26.000Not only that, if human beings just skip a generation, like if we have a generation of turmoil and chaos and then we slowly rebuild civilization, how many of those people are going to understand computer code?
01:52:37.000How many of these people are going to understand Linux?
01:52:38.000How many of these people that are coming up without any education from a formal university, no internet connection whatsoever for decades, perhaps hundreds of years?
01:52:47.000It's like the resetting of civilization you talked about earlier.
01:53:23.000And that's the other thing, too, is about that archetypal image of the alien with the big head, with the big black eyes.
01:53:31.000Is that if you go, you go down from Australopithecus to modern Homo sapien, if you make this connect, you see this hunched over, very hairy, almost chimp-like humanoid, and then standing up,
01:53:46.000but losing all of its hair, and the head is much larger, doubling of the human brain size over a period of two million years.
01:57:28.000I really wish they were real, but I'm telling you, my experience talking to these people when I did that sci-fi show was like, oh, this is all nonsense.
01:57:38.000That, maybe those people were, nonsense.
01:57:41.000But the trained military, the air traffic controllers, the pilots, government officials, like, what's his name, Feef, the governor of Arizona is one of the guys in I Know What I Saw in Out of the Blue.
01:57:56.000Oh, yeah, he was the guy that was told to, like, mock it, so they brought in a guy dressed like an alien.
01:58:03.000In these documents, he talks about how much he deeply regrets doing that.
02:03:17.000As recently as 100,000 years ago and they found teeth in the 1920s in an apothecary shop in China that were an unknown hominid and then they were like, where'd you get these?
02:03:27.000And then they found the area where they found them and they started discovering more and they found some jawbone fragments and some various bones.
02:04:07.000So Gigantopithecus was a real animal that they think was a bipedal hominid that lived somewhere around 100,000 years ago for sure, but most likely lived alongside human beings for eons, right?
02:04:20.000And this thing was an 8 to 10 foot tall.
02:04:24.000See if you get an image of the photo of a recreation of a Gigantopithecus next to a modern human being.
02:06:02.000But the thing about it is that the sightings occur all in the Pacific Northwest, which, if you follow the Bering landmass, that's where they would have come across.
02:06:12.000If they came across with humans, they would have come across into Alaska, where there's a lot of sightings, and down into the Pacific Northwest, where there's a lot of sightings.
02:06:20.000But there's sightings all over the country now.
02:08:44.000Yeah, and they think modern humans might have wiped them out because they were probably, they think there's some cannibalism, not cannibalism, but they preyed upon our children and stuff like that.
02:09:34.000I read this thing about people in New Guinea that were cannibals, and they were talking to them after World War II, and they were trying to figure out how the Europeans, once they found out how many people were killed during World War II, they were trying to figure out how the Europeans managed to eat that much meat.
02:09:51.000And then they told them, no, they don't eat the people they kill, and they were horrified.
02:09:55.000They were like, so you waste all the people that you kill in battle?
02:10:32.000I mean, loggers do and the Amazon assholes and mean people, but the idea in the scientific community is we should leave these people alone.
02:10:40.000And so when they find these uncontacted tribes, whether it's North Sentinel Island where that missionary was killed recently or the Amazon when they're going through these jungles and finding these small bands of people, overwhelmingly everybody wants to back off and leave them alone.
02:12:58.000Yeah, it was the thing that was going around on the internet a little while ago, that the evidence of multiple universes that we pop in and out of different realities.
02:16:10.000The company that uses the coca leaves, that brings in the coca leaves to make Coca-Cola, is the number one creator of medical grade cocaine.
02:16:22.000They use that coca leaf to also make medical grade cocaine.
02:16:26.000There's no cocaine in Coca-Cola, but there is a flavor.
02:16:30.000That's a bunch of different Ford logos.
02:17:11.000Besides producing the cocoa flavor agent for Coca-Cola, the Stephan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which sells it to, hmm, Alan Kroc, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine from medical use,
02:18:04.000It's just one of those weird things that pops up when you see 90% of their sales are done in the United States, but it's an Irish tax-registered manufacturing.
02:19:22.000There's some sort of a ballot initiative where they're trying to put psilocybin in the same medicinal category as they're doing with marijuana.
02:23:35.000And, you know, so we'll see what happens.
02:23:37.000You know, hopefully, I mean, part of what I was thinking, I hope it will help with writing, because I felt like I was having trouble coming up with story ideas for things.
02:26:13.000Having had depression, one of the things that hits you is that feeling that you just can't connect.
02:26:19.000And was yours coming about when your first marriage was breaking up?
02:26:23.000I mean, I have lifelong depression, but I didn't get it treated until that point when I was like, you know, it was like, yeah, because marriage was breaking up and I had to fly to like Africa twice in a month to see my kids.
02:26:36.000Do you remember the time that I protected a reporter from you?
02:30:07.000I mean, one of the reasons why I wanted to have Roseanne on the podcast and talk about her issue with her television show and everything and her outbursts and all the crazy stuff she says on Twitter is because I know her and I know her past.
02:30:20.000And so right away at the beginning of the podcast, I was like, let's get into what happened to you.
02:30:24.000Because I don't think she talked about it that much.
02:31:02.000They know now, hopefully more than they knew then, but people that work with her did.
02:31:07.000So when they were writing her off, I'm like, Jesus Christ, this is like taking a person with a broken leg and saying, you know, I'm mad at you that you can't run.
02:32:53.000They don't come out knowing it somehow?
02:32:55.000Well, the piano, I've heard these people, they literally could sit down and just knew what to do.
02:33:00.000Well, there's certain things that happen, right, if people have certain spectrum issues, right, where they're far better at mathematics, far worse at social interactions.
02:33:10.000There's pathways that are more lubed for you to figure things out that aren't as confused by social issues or social stigmas or just normal human communication.
02:33:23.000Smartest people in history, a lot of them.
02:35:59.000Do you think you are a genetic alcoholic or is this like a learned thing?
02:36:04.000Well, it's hard to say because, I mean, obviously alcoholism runs in my family, but is that just because, you know, we were raised by a horrible alcoholic?
02:36:11.000Do you think there's a genetic connection?
02:36:15.000There's probably a genetic predisposition to it.
02:36:22.000I don't think there's a lot of real free will.
02:36:26.000Yeah, I've come to that more and more as I get older.
02:36:30.000I mean, I battle with it because obviously there are conscious choices that you can make, especially when you really make an effort to move into a certain path of the way of the thinking and believing, but what's causing that?
02:37:06.000I mean, I had David Sinclair from Harvard on.
02:37:08.000Two weeks ago, who's a life extension specialist who's talking about some fascinating shit.
02:37:14.000You've got to stop those telomeres from snapping off.
02:37:16.000I remember the notion, because people always talk about human lifespan is, we used to live to be 40 on air, but human lifespan hasn't changed at all since essentially the beginnings of human beings.
02:41:29.000And also, like, my personality was sort of forged by having these moments of clarity after extreme exertion.
02:41:39.000You know, my personality was formed that way.
02:41:41.000Like, if I had a problem, if I had something that I was dealing with, I would just blow it out at the gym, and then I'd have a better look at it, and probably wind up calling somebody and apologizing or something.
02:42:02.000Because I think if you develop a certain way, like I did martial arts literally most of my adult life and growing life up until that point.
02:42:12.000And so my body had sort of developed with this need for that exertion in order to have clarity.
02:42:39.000I did this Sober October fitness challenge thing with my friends in October, and we went crazy.
02:42:47.000We were working out like three hours a day because we were wearing these heart monitors.
02:42:50.000And one of the things that I read, because we were trying to get a certain score and whoever got the highest score won.
02:42:54.000One of the things that I recognized from that was that the more I did, in terms of cardio especially, the less things bothered me.
02:43:02.000The more clarity I had, the more peaceful I felt, the more at ease I felt, no internal chatter, you know?
02:43:10.000I just think, for whatever reason, I mean, everybody has their own biological makeup, and for me, my biological makeup is entirely dependent on that.
02:43:18.000Just forget all the health benefits from it.
02:43:20.000Health benefits are giant, but for me, it's my mind.
02:44:17.000By the way, I'm in there with my wife, Jackie, while he brings in the x-rays, puts them up in the thing and goes, Hey, buddy, you got scoliosis!
02:45:30.000I like cutting them when they're asleep.
02:45:33.000You can do some exercises and some physical therapy and stuff to alleviate it and if it gets so bad down the road, I could maybe help you out with some rods.
02:45:45.000So you went in there because there was an initial issue.
02:45:50.000I had, like, issues when I was young, when I used to do, like, track and field and stuff.
02:47:12.000It is a little bit of torture, but it's really good for you because your body produces heat shock proteins that are similar to when you go into a sauna.
02:47:18.000You feel great when you come out of there?
02:47:19.000You feel great, but it's also really good for inflammation.
02:47:21.000Just the act of doing it itself in the extreme heat.
02:47:25.000Like, sauna would be amazing for you, too, for that reason.
02:47:29.000There's a woman named Dr. Rhonda Patrick that's a regular on the show.
02:47:32.000I have her on all the time, and she's a genius, but she's a huge believer in sauna.
02:47:37.000They did a study in Sweden or some shit where they took people with regular sauna use versus not, and the regular sauna use had a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality, heart attack, stroke, cancer.
02:47:53.000Yes, because when you're regularly using it, 20 minutes a day for four days a week, what they're essentially saying is that your body producing those heat shock proteins and those cytokines...
02:49:40.000He told me, he had recent shoulder surgery, and he said everybody likes to use the rub stuff, but you really should take it with the edible stuff.
02:49:48.000Like oral CBD and rub stuff works together.
02:51:33.000Yeah, I've seen that two and five fasting, where two days a week you do like 600 calories, and then the rest of the week you can do whatever you want.
